Chapter 529: A war initiated by a single person

The Purgatory World is a chaotic world, there was not orderly civilization and no kingdoms. All the races and beings lived in a loose manner around the strong cities, similar to the Forest of Chaos. Therefore the locals that lived in this place had very low civilization.

The passed down books were rare in the Purgatory World and the ones relating to the surface world were very rare. The Purgatory locals didn't know the existence of the surface world and didn't know of humans who lived in the surface world.

The dark gnome chieftain was a fierce looking one eyed man. When his saw his subordinates were still discussing it, he was already filled with impatience, "Take a blade and cut it open!"

The dark gnomes were the most famous merchants of the Purgatory World and the group with the greatest inventing ability. They explored various ruins and even the Devil's Gate itself, extracting many ancient demonic alchemy techniques, so this race that wasn't strong had a bit of status in the Purgatory World.

Obviously the gnomes were a race that was focused on exploration.

Faced with the unknown, the fully carried on with this spirit.

So what if they didn't know? There was nothing hard, they would understand just by cutting it open!

The Butterfly Demons were not happy. That young white female Butterfly Demon flew out to stop them, "Don't cut it if you haven't bought it yet. What if you ruin its value!"

"We have to take a sample back to the alchemy lab to analyze before we know what abilities and what value it has!" The dark gnome revealed a look of impatience, "Otherwise we would make an estimate without knowing anything? Do you even want to sell!"

"Sell, sell, of course we want to sell!" A Butterfly Demon elder quickly stood up and pulled the white Butterfly Demon to the side, "Young village head, it's useless keeping this foreign race here, let them cut it."

The Butterfly Demon had picked up this foreign race that fell from the clouds and wanted to sell him for some things for the village. If they couldn't sell him, there was no value keeping him here.

The white Butterfly Demon was not willing, but had no other choice.

"Don't waste time, cut off a finger first." The dark gnome leader ordered, "This foreign race's power is not weak and his skin might quite hard, so cutting off a hand would be troublesome."

"Yes"!

A gnome drew out a Black Diamond Blade and walked over.

The blade was black like jade, with a faint golden glow over it. It was made out of a material called Black Diamond, it was ten times stronger than normal diamond and it had a destruction attribute attached to it. When a normal weapon was made, just a small bit of it could allow it to cut iron like mud. Was there a need to mention a blade made completely out of Black Diamond?

The little fox laid in a corner with an aloof, uncaring manner, as a mischievous look flashed in its eyes.

The dark gnome chose a finger and raised the blade, cutting down!

Kuang!

The Black Diamond Blade shattered like glass and fragments fell in every direction. The black gnome didn't have time to guard against the fragment and each Black Diamond fragment was incomparably hard. It was like piercing paper as it pierced through him, killing him on the spot with a pitiful cry.

What just happened!

Everyone was stunned!

How sharp is the Black Diamond Blade?

This blade didn't even make a single mark on his skin and rather the blade itself shattered.

This foreign race's physique was actually this strong! Perhaps it wasn't even inferior to the dragon races!

Whether it was the Butterfly Demons or the gnomes, no one suspected it was a defensive cultivation technique. This was because when a person wasn't conscious, no matter how strong their spirit energy or cultivation technique was, it was all no use.

How could the Purgatory bumpkins know? When the Starlight Immortal Body reached the Perfection Realm, it didn't need to be activated. When any spot was injured, the Starlight Immortal Body would automatically guard the user. The second the Black Diamond Blade came down and the blade made contact with his skin, a layer of starlight shattered it.

The Butterfly Demons were pleasantly surprised.

They found a treasure!

They found a treasure!

This foreign race's body was even harder than Black Diamond, would it be cheaper than Black Diamond of the same volume? Even if it was Black Diamond being sold, it would be a large fortune!

"It's actually this strong?" The gnome leader took out a blade with demonic curses inscribed over it, "Humph, I don't believe that this Demon Hunting Blade can't cut you!"

The gnome leader mumbled while holding the blade.

The blade's curse runes began to glow and it released a strong energy wave. The blade fell down at the foreign race's arm.

The Starlight Immortal Body was released again.

The faint starlight and the tip of the blade collided.

The dark gnome leader felt like his blade was hitting invulnerable dragon scale and a large rebound force filled his wrist with pain. Not only did it not break Chu Tian's defense this time, it did something that no one would have thought of.

Flames began to appear from Chu Tian!

Flames of death and flames that could destroy everything!

"This is bad!"

The dark gnome leader quickly moved back, but the surrounding gnomes were not lucky enough. The Netherworld Flame scattered to little bits and instantly turned into flames like coming into contact with oil. The flames instantly swallowed everything and burned until nothing was left.

This foreign race person could release flames?

Who had every see a flame that could burn a gnome away without leaving any ashes?

This flame was definitely not an ordinary flame. Just this flame power was enough to give it limitless value.

The foreign race person was unconscious and could defend and counterattack, this was rare to find on any creature. This living being had such strong powers, it could even compare to giant dragons!

"One thousand dark crystals!" The dark gnome leader gave his price, "I want this creature!"

A thousand dark crystals was a giant amount for the Butterfly Demons village!

Each Butterfly Demon revealed looks of joy!

"Wait!" That white Butterfly Demon village chief came out, "This foreign race is this strong, just a trivial thousand dark crystals is too little!"

"The Butterfly Demons do not have the qualification to bargain with me. A thousand dark crystals is already a very generous price."

"No, we can't accept this value."

"You dare reject me? Now there's only eight hundred!" The dark gnome coldly looked at the white Butterfly Demon and said, "You better think clearly about what to say before I become angry!"

A single sentence took away two hundred dark crystals.

This loss was really too much.

The white Butterfly Demon firmly said, "We're not selling this foreign race, you can leave!"

The other Butterfly Demons revealed anxious looks. How could this be, was the village chief crazy?"

"So many of my subordinates died and you're not selling!" The dark gnome chief became enraged, "Are you playing me? The gnomes are not easy to offend!"

"Humph, one thousand or eight hundred is just money for beggars? Although we Butterfly Demons aren't strong, we aren't that easy to trick!" The white Butterfly Demon rebutted, "The Butterfly Demons will compensate your loss, but we won't sell this foreign race. Please leave!"

The dark gnome leader was about to explode.

The white Butterfly Demon snorted and several Butterfly Demon came forward.

The Purgatory World locals grew up in chaotic battles, so even the weak Butterfly Demons were not easy to bully.

"Good, very good. Just wait and see!"

The dark gnome was filled with rage, but this was still the Butterfly Demon Village and there were only Butterfly Demons around. Trying to save face was too much of a loss. It was better to leave this place first and gather the troops as soon as possible, sweeping through the Butterfly Demon village, stealing that precious and mysterious foreign race!

The Butterfly Demon saw the gnome leave and he said with a heavy heart, "The gnome's surrounding influence is not small. Now that we have offended them, the gnomes will not willingly give this up. I'm afraid this won't have any benefits to us."

"The elder can be assured!" The white Butterfly Demon was filled with excitement and joy, "This time we definitely found a treasure. Before the gnomes come back, we'll go to Darkness City. As long as we sell this at the auction in Darkness City, our entire village will become rich!"

"Is this creature really that valuable?"

"Although I don't know what he is, his body is invulnerable and he has all kinds of special abilities, this is comparable to a dragon or a great demon. If a dragon were to be placed in the auction, how much would it be worth? Could it be it wouldn't be enough for our little village to get rich off?"

"That's right. As long as we exchange for enough dark crystals, we can live in Darkness City. Would we need to fear retaliation from the dark gnomes at that time?"

The Butterfly Demons let go of the worry in their hearts.

This was an once in a hundred year chance!

How could they easily let it go? They had to grab it in their hands!"

The white Butterfly Demon prepared as quickly as possible, mobilizing a thousand warriors as guards out of the several thousand population. The dark gnome could come back at any moment, so they had to move as quickly as possible.

The white Butterfly Demon's prepared team set off. Butterfly Demon had the ability to fly, so they decided to travel through the air. Like this, the risks of being obstructed or meeting trouble would be reduced.

When the team was about to leave the forest valley.

"This is bad!"

A group of Green Demons appeared to the east!"

A group of strange ugly creatures were gathered there. They were around two meters tall and their skin were green. They had very strong bodies, like strengthened versions of goblins, but they had long demon tails. Their weapons were wolf fang sticks or war hammers.

Green Demons, a low grade demon.

Although their demon bloodline was not strong, there were many of them. They had innate strength and hard skin, they were a very cruel race.

The white Butterfly Demon quickly responded, "You have reached the border! This is the Butterfly Demon's territory!"

"Hei, hei, hei, don't be that angry! I've heard that the Butterfly Demon's village has found a treasure!" The big leading Green Demon revealed a greedy look, "Since the treasure fell in the forest, it belongs to each race in the forest. What are you Butterfly Demons secretly taking it for? How about you take it out and give everyone a portion."

The Butterfly Demons were seething with rage.

But without waiting for the Butterfly Demons to respond.

"That's right!"

There was a black line on a mountain not far away as several hundred tall figures appeared. These creatures looked like Minotaurs, but they were uglier and they had horns on their heads. Horned Demons!

Not only the Butterfly Demons, even the faces of the Green Demons sunk.

The Green Demon leader roared, "What are you doing here?"

"Ha, ha, ha." The Horned Demon leader arrogantly said, "What do you think?"

The Green Demons and Horned Demons had not arrived long when a large black figure appeared in the sky. There was a group of winged and beaked creatures that appeared. They were Winged Demons!

One could guess what was happening even if they used their feet.

The dark gnomes didn't have time to go back and forth, so they stirred the nearby powers first and make them fight first. They were stalling for time like this? Damn!

The Purgatory World locals were very sensitive about territory, so their territory being invaded was a giant challenge and great shame.

The Butterfly Demons were enraged, "Alright, since you want to fight, we'll see who lives in the end!"

A war was about to begin.

The Purgatory World was just like this, any single reason could be the spark for a war. This was something that could happen each day, it was even more chaotic than the Forest of Chaos!

Chapter 530: Invincible human!

Chu Tian used several spiritual attributed Sacred Herbs and fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a trace of will behind. After the precious spiritual attributed herbs were absorbed by the Netherworld Flames, the essence were drawn out to slowly recover his spiritual energy. This process slowly moved forward.

This experience also reduced his cultivation bottleneck.

Chu Tian realized that he was at a turning point, so naturally he wouldn't let this precious opportunity go. Therefore, he restored his spiritual energy while he turned the newborn streams of spirit energy into a river.

Hong!

Finally, his spiritual energy was completely recovered while Chu Tian also broke through to the 4th True Spirit Layer. He was now only a step away from the 5th True Spirit Layer.

"Ah!"

"He's awake!"

"He's awake!"

The Butterfly Demons were surprised by Chu Tian suddenly awakening, quickly leaving the secret room to report.

Chu Tian was a bit confused, "Fox, come out!"

Peng!

A black fog appeared.

The little fox sat on his shoulder waving its tail.

Chu Tian looked around at the strange house he was in and it was clear this was the residence of a Purgatory local, "Where is this? Just what happened!"

The little fox described everything that happened during the day Chu Tian was sleeping.

"Damn, father isn't this popular!"

When Chu Tian knew that these Purgatory Race began to fight trying to take him, although he was very speechless, he was also very honoured. It seems like he would be popular no matter where he went since he was so handsome.

Chu Tian didn't have time to gain his thoughts.

There were the sounds of wings flapping around him.

Around a hundred Butterfly Demons surrounded him. When Chu Tian looked up, he saw that all the Butterfly Demons had different colours. There was a white skinned one that had the look of a foreign race, but the aesthetics fit the tastes of humans.

The white Butterfly Demon was shocked and anxious, "You…..How are you awake!"

The Butterfly Demon didn't speak the spirit insect or the elven language, rather it was the demon language. This was probably the mainstream language of the Purgatory World. The demon language was rarely known on the surface, but it had spread in the future. The Butterfly Demons used the most ordinary dialect of the demon language, Chu Tian had already studied it a bit from the materials left behind by the demon clan, so there was no problem with basic communication.

"Is it strange?" Chu Tian gave a shrug, "I'm very thankful for your care and as thanks, I'll give you some facts. I am a human from the surface world and the humans are one of the largest races on the surface, if there isn't a hundred billion, there are at least eighty million. If you like humans this much, I'll bring three-five hundred here for you another day. Alright, I still have other things to do, so I won't stay to drink your tea."

What?

There were eighty-one hundred million of these beings!

Each Butterfly Demon had a stunned look!

All the intelligent beings in the Purgatory World wouldn't add up to this number!

"You can't leave. The Horned Demons, the Green Demons, and the Winged Demons have already surrounded us." The white Butterfly Demon pointed a snake shaped sword at him, "The Butterfly Demons' property cannot fall into anyone's hands, grab him!"

The Butterfly Demons attacked in a very unique manner. Regardless if they had a spiritual attributed source spirit or not, most of them had spirit energy turned into spiritual energy naturally. Large amounts of butterfly wings flapped and spiritual energy turned into dust, instantly covering the area.

The dust had a strong hypnosis and confusing spiritual effect, being very useful to normal beings. With this many Butterfly Demons attacking, even a True Spirit Expert would turn numb.

"This small trick is no use to me at all."

This mysterious foreign race didn't defend at all, directly attacking the Butterfly Demons. He wasn't affected at all.

Chu Tian's eyes calmly looked at the white Butterfly Demon.

Spiritual energy cut off!

The white Butterfly Demon trembled as she felt her spirit energy and mind being cut off. Although her cultivation was still there, she couldn't use it at all.

Chu Tian stepped through space to appear behind the white Butterfly Demon and grabbed her neck, with Netherworld Flames at his fingers, "Do you think you can catch me with just you?"

"Spatial energy, innate spatial energy!"

The Butterfly Demons had pale faces in fear.

The white Butterfly Demon broke out in a cold sweat, she was most afraid of the flames released by this mysterious being. She had already personally witnessed its might, just a single spark could turn a person in ashes. This foreign race's hand was covered in flames, but it didn't harm a single one of her hairs. This was clear that he had a perfect control over this power!

Too strong!

Just too strong!

She finally understood how stupid her actions were.

It was easy for this person to kill her with his rare innate spatial energy, they couldn't stop him at all if he wanted to leave!

The Butterfly Demon village chief didn't even have time to beg for mercy before there were the sounds of fighting coming from outside. Her face sunk again, "This is bad, they're attacking again."

How many low grade demon clans were there?

Chu Tian looked around and seemed to have thought of something, "Come with me!"

The white Butterfly Demon didn't even have time to speak before she was sent outside the valley with Chu Tian. There was currently a large battle in the valley, around ten thousand people were locked in intense combat. Chu Tian had suddenly appeared in front of everyone and he was holding the Butterfly Demon village chief hostage, making everyone stunned.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Chu Tian's words spread and everyone was stunned.

"I have already felt your Purgatory people's enthusiasm, so I'll speak without being polite." Chu Tian let go of the white Butterfly Demon and his eyes swept over everyone. He spoke in a free and easy like he was talking to friends, "I want to congratulate everyone here."

The Horned Demon leader let out two streams of angry breath from his large nostrils, "What did he say?"

Chu Tian continued like he was talking about something serious, "This is because from this day forth, you will welcome a wise, talented, and peerlessly handsome leader. That's right, it's me. Your only path is to submit and I advise you not to do anything stupid, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"

With these words.

All the low level Purgatory demons were stunned.

After around ten minutes, finally a wild laughter erupted. Perhaps there wasn't much humour in the Purgatory World and perhaps this joke wasn't that funny, but the demons almost didn't break out in laughter.

A single person facing ten thousand fierce Purgatory demons, but he was confidently saying that he would become their leader, was there was a better joke in this world?

The Winged Demon leader couldn't take it first, "Go, grab him!"

The flying advantage of the Winged Demons came out as over a thousand Winged Demons flew out as fast as lightning, charging out at Chu Tian. When the Butterfly Demon village people saw this, they quickly charged up to stop them.

The Butterfly Demon village chief stopped her people, "First wait and see!"

No matter how high a person's cultivation was, it was still in the True Spirit Layer. These low grade demons perhaps weren't too strong, but several thousand people could still fight against a single True Spirit Realm Expert. Even a powerful Spirit Transformation Expert wouldn't be able to take this kind of consumption.

Chu Tian closed his eyes and shook his head, revealing a smile of ridicule on his lips.

His spiritual energy exploded!

Chu Tian released his Vision Domain Divine Sense around him and exploded large amounts of spiritual energy. This instantly created a large range spiritual attack and several thousand Winged Demon race members were submerged in the impact of this explosion. Their minds blanked in an instant and they fell down from the sky like rain drops.

What is going on?

Just what is going on?

This being was standing there without moving, but he could make all these Winged Demons lose their battle strength in an instant!

There were only the Butterfly Demons that were sensitive to spiritual energy and each Butterfly Demon had a look of deep panic on their faces. They could not imagine that a person could use this kind of terrifying spiritual attack.

Most spiritual attacks were focused on one target.

They had never seen such a large area attack that was this powerful!

Whether it was the spiritual energy break used on the white Butterfly Demon or the spiritual energy explosion, they were all secret spiritual energy techniques learned from the Demon Ant Queen.

The spiritual energy break was a very easy to use non fatal secret technique. It could easily make it so cultivators can't resist at all, as long as their Divine Sense wasn't too strong, especially if they didn't reach the Mind's Lamp level. No matter how high their cultivation, cultivation technique, or secret technique was, they would collapse with one blow from Chu Tian.

As for the spiritual energy explosion? This consumed a large amount of energy, but the effects were very strong. Chu Tian could imitate the Demon Ants' attack method, allowing large amounts of spiritual energy gather before exploding at once. It would affect a large area and all the targets in the area, which not a single spiritual energy secret technique could compare to.

Of course, the spiritual energy explosion effects had its limits.

It was mainly used to deal with enemies with weaker Divine Sense and cultivation. A single move that could destroy the defenses of large amount of enemies at once was incredibly useful on a battlefield!

"Relax, they're not dead, just unconscious." Chu Tian stood in a pile of unmoving Winged Demon, a scene that was incomparably shocking, "This is just a small punishment. If you dare make any excessive moves, I will not show anymore mercy."

"I don't believe it!" The Horned Demon leader roared, "Go together, take him down!"

The Horned Demons and Green Demons attacked. They didn't feel anything as they launched their long range attacks. What people couldn't understand was that this person didn't move, but the attacks passed through him like hitting thin air, not dealing any damage at all.

"Why must you compel me to use violence to solve this problem?" Chu Tian released his powerful Divine Sense again, using a move he had never used before, "Mind's Flame!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"Flames! Flames!"

Chu Tian did not move a half a centimeter. When the Horned Demons and Green Demons were about to charge over, once they entered a thirty meter range, their bodies strangely began to burn. The terrifying blue and white flames instantly turned their bodies to ashes.

One, two, ten, several dozen!

The Horned Demons and Green Demons were like moths to flames, not a single one was lucky enough to survive…..A monster, this was simply a monster!

Chapter 531: Great leader Chu Tian

Without using any cultivation techniques!

Without using any secret techniques!

No matter which direction the Horned Demons and Green Demons came from, as long as they reached a certain range, they would immediately burn up without any warnings.

That's right!

It was suddenly burning up!

The white and blue flames swallowed the body from inside to out. Demon's incomparably strong bodies were very resistant against elemental energy like this flame, but in front of this flame without any heat, it didn't even have the resistance of a cicada's wing. The flames instantly destroyed their bodies, leaving behind a pile of ashes.

A powerful enemy was not terrifying.

The most terrifying thing was not knowing a single thing about a powerful enemy!

Several hundred Horned Demons and Green Demons didn't fear death as they charged at Chu Tian like moths to the flame, turning into ashes in the end with pitiful screams. When faced with this kind of image, even with how fierce the Purgatory locals were, they would not be able to keep their fighting spirit!

Chu Tian's methods seemed strange, but one wouldn't think so if they understood the principle behind it.

First the Mind's Flame was just a domain formed by the Vision Domain Divine Sense, so when the Horned Demons and Green Demons charged forward, Chu Tian directly possessed them with his Divine Sense. With these people not having any guard at all, Chu Tian suddenly placed Netherworld Flame seeds inside them. How powerful was Chu Tian's Netherworld Flame? When their source spirit and cultivation base was ignited, the Netherworld Flames would become even stronger. Naturally it would become a self ignition and even the firmest bones wouldn't be able to last under this kind of attack.

No!

Too strong!

These low grade demons finally understood how stupid doing this was.

They wanted to catch this monster? They would run as far as possible normally!

The leaders of the Green Demons, the Horned Demons, and the Winged Demons knew that Chu Tian wasn't joking. This deep mysterious foreign race was not something they could resist, now that had no other choice but to run immediately!

"Want to run?"

Chu Tian said nothing else as he disappeared and reappeared. In the blink of an eye, he jumped three times and before the Winged Demons, Horned Demons, or the Green Demons could react, their three leaders appeared beside the white Butterfly Demon.

"What do you want!"

The four leaders were filled with panic.

Chu Tian released four flames that were like four white crystals around him. His hands softly pushed out and a white flame lotus entered each person's body, adding a seal on their skin.

The four leaders were scared to death seeing this. This foreign race's flame was just too strong, just several sparks were enough to injure them, not to mention lotuses condensed by Chu Tian.

Chu Tian was in a free and unfettered mood, like he was joking with a friend, "This is a Mind Flame Seal made by me. I have sealed Netherworld Flames in your bodies, but you don't need to worry. In its sealed condition, it will not harm you at all, but with a single thought from me, you will instantly turn into ashes."

"You——!"

The Horned Demon leader wanted to fly into a rage, when he suddenly felt heat coming from his back. The seal lit up and the Netherworld Flame inside the seal was about to break out.

"I forgot to remind you." Chu Tian revealed a kind smile, "The Heart Flame Seal is fused with Divine Sense, so this seal can sense your thoughts. If you have any killing intent towards me, the seal will release. If you dare move against me, I can promise that before you even touch me, you will turn into dark ashes. So, don't think of trying any sneak attacks, it won't work."

The four leaders had faces like dying ashes.

Was there such a strong and sinister move in the world?

With the Heart Flame Seal, their lives were in Chu Tian's hands and they couldn't even have killing intent towards Chu Tian. As long as they moved against him, the seal will automatically release to take their lives. This was a perfect enslaving technique.

These were all new skills created by Chu Tian.

Chu Tian could make these secret techniques because first, Chu Tian was a very knowledgeable person, reading many books, therefore he knew how to create new secret techniques. Secondly, after Chu Tian swallowed the ancient Ice Spring in the Death Ice Field, not only did his Divine Sense grow and his control over flames become better, the Netherworld Flame had already fused with Chu Tian.

"This is the final choice, submit or die!"

These people looked at each other and finally gave up. They all kneeled on one knee, "We…..submit!"

This easily?

But it was expected.

Of the dark races in Purgatory, most of them were demons.

Chu Tian had a deep understanding of the disposition of dark races and demons, they were cunning, sly, cruel, chaotic, and untrustworthy. In this place where experts ruled, just benefits and persuasion were not enough to have a binding force.

Chu Tian had just arrived and didn't have any influence. He could only shock them and hold their lives in their hand to control these demons.

The weak obeyed the strong in the Purgatory World, this was a natural matter of the world.

As for moral and courage?

These things weren't seen in the Purgatory World, especially with small weak clans. This was also why they submitted without even thinking about it. Chu Tian listened to the leaders explain the situation of this area. There were many forces in this not too big small forest and their four villages were just the most normal forces.

No wonder they were this weak!

The Butterfly Demons, Horned Demons, Green Demons, and Winged Demons were very close, so they could respond immediately if anything happened. Actually these forces didn't even rob. If they were placed in the Forest of Chaos, they would be a small force that didn't dare violate the dark forest principle.

The True Spirit Experts in these four village could be counted with one hand, it was also the reason why Chu Tian subdued them this easily. It also explained that these four villages weren't strong at all.

Chu Tian found one special point.

The strength of the Purgatory locals were well balanced, with each adult demon having a not weak Awakened Soul Realm Cultivation. This also meant that the most common local of the Purgatory World, as long as they were slightly trained, they could become a first class soldier on the continent.

The dark races and demons were natural born warriors and they had many rare innate talents. Therefore, the Purgatory World to Chu Tian was simply natural barracks!

The forest was in the territory of the Darkness City.

Darkness City was the largest underground city within a thousand miles, with over several million people. With this kind of strength, all the surrounding villages had no choice but to submit. Looking at it like this, it seems like although the Purgatory World was very different from the surface world, it still had the same structure as the Forest of Chaos.

Chu Tian felt like he should make a Transport Tower here.

The Purgatory World had many rare resources and there were many commodities from the surface world that would have a large market if brought down to the Purgatory World. The only problem now was that Chu Tian didn't have a way to contact Miracle City.

There was over a thousand miles going from the Purgatory World up to the surface.

Not to mention the thick rock layer, the volcanoes, the energy veins, as well as the weightless layer. With this large area of isolation, Miracle City's signal couldn't come down no matter how strong it was. Similarly, even if they establish communication lines in the Purgatory World, they couldn't connect it to the surface with their current technology.

Chu Tian couldn't collect materials without being able to communicate to the young miss.

No problem, the Purgatory World was rich in resources, there would be a way. This trip down was not easy, Chu Tian didn't want to go back now without accomplishing anything.

"You don't need to fear me." Chu Tian sat in the largest room in the forest valley. The important people from the Butterfly Demons, the Winged Demons, the Horned Demons, and the Green Demons were standing in front of him, "Our surface world is the most civilized world, therefore as long as you all act honestly, I won't do anything to you. First, everyone should report the situation with your villages."

The white Butterfly Demon came out and said, "Great leader, our Butterfly Demon Village has four thousand people, with all of them having some kind of battle strength. There are around three thousand young adults."

The Green Demon village chief said, "The Green Demon village has five thousand people, with around three-four thousand young adults."

The Winged Demon village chief reported, "The Wings Demon also has four thousand people, with around three thousand young adults."

The Horned Demon village chief reported, "The Horned Demons have around six thousand people, with five thousand being strong warriors!"

"Un, un, this isn't bad!" Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the white Butterfly Demon village chief to the said, "Your demon names are long and bad, I'll give you a human name now. You'll be called Bai Die from now on."

Bai Die quickly said in a happy voice, "Thank you great leader!"

The other three village chief revealed looks of jealousy.

The great leader clearly cared about the Butterfly Demon more.

"Good, all of you listen." Chu Tian stood up and announced, "From this day forth, I will lead everyone on the road of expansion. Stealing territory, resources, and people! I, Chu Tian promise that as long as you follow me, there will be bright times ahead, developing more and more. As long as you work hard on expanding, it isn't impossible to take Darkness City in the future."

Everyone was terrified by this.

What? Take Darkness City!

Was this fellow crazy?

The village chiefs began sweating in their hearts, thinking this was bad. They actually let a crazy person become the great leader. Chu Tian saw everyone's expression, but he was too lazy to explain because there were many ways to take a city for Chu Tian. As long as the Purgatory World was connected to Miracle City, with Miracle City's strength, was it that strange to take Darkness City?

"Alright, let's discuss our short term plan for expansion first!"

Chu Tian took out a map, but before he even had time to look over it, several Butterfly Demons flew over in a panic to report, "This is bad, the dark gnomes are back. They have brought many people and there are even experts among them! They probably came here with bad intentions!"

Chapter 532: Dark gnomes' tragedy

The dark gnomes brought an army.

The front row was a never before seen dark demon. Each one had different builds and different sizes, with most of them being either black or gray. They had twisted bodies, three heads and six arms, just like different beings melded together, not belonging to a single being. This was a combined life form.

"Transmuted Beasts!"

The Butterfly Demons recognized these beings.

The dark gnomes excavated large amounts of demonic materials from the ruins, which also included the legendary transmutation. Properly speaking, transmutation was not a technique from this world, but rather another world. It could analyzed the secret of life and created miraculous and incredible things.

The Transmuted Beasts were things the dark gnomes refined with their transmutation techniques!

The dark gnomes themselves were very weak, but they had a position in the Purgatory World. The most important reason was that the dark gnomes had the most advanced technology in the Purgatory World, the so called knowledge is power. These words were not baseless.

"Roar!"

At this time, a synthesized beast that was different came out. Compared to the other Transmuted Beasts that seemed like they were made to be wax statues, this monster seemed relatively normal. It was around three meters tall and had a grand build, with its skin releasing a metallic glow and being covered in bone spurs. Its ugly eyes were releasing a bright red light and a very strong aura was being released from it.

"Tyrant!"

"It's a Tyrant!"

The Butterfly Demons revealed looks of fear seeing this synthesized being.

The Tyrant Barracks used to be an ancient ruin, but after the dark gnomes occupied it, it gradually became a barrack. These dark gnomes were skilled in refining beings with their transmutation, creating terrifying dark monsters out of different beings. The Tyrants were the barrack's namesake work and where the name came from.

The Tyrant was formed from a fresh high grade demon body and several different other life forms. With luck and chance, an accidental refinement succeeded.

If the dark gnomes were given the same materials now, they wouldn't be able to refine a second Tyrant.

The Tyrant did not just have a terrifying strength, it also had a high intelligence, understanding the dark gnomes' commands. The dark gnomes had actually sent their protective god of the dark gnomes was sent to attack the forest valley! The Butterfly Demons could clearly understand how important Chu Tian was for the dark gnomes!

Behind the Tyrant led group of Transmuted Beasts, there was a large group of mercenaries the dark gnomes hired.

These mercenaries came from different parts of the Purgatory World, they were all dark races and demon races with decent fighting strength. There were many middle grade Shadow Demon and Fierce Demons among them. The most important thing was that these Purgatory World mercenaries had also been modified by the dark gnomes.

In the beginning, the dark gnomes considered the risks and decided they couldn't directly hire strong mercenaries. Therefore, they used a high price to hire disabled or heavily wounded mercenaries, patching up their disabled parts with their transmutation skills.

Therefore each one of the mercenaries were very strange. The transmuted parts were not weaker than before and they even had some incredible abilities.

The final line was made up of the dark gnomes.

The dark gnomes sent out quite a few people this time, adding up to a total of over two thousand. They also brought many strange tools, like weightless cars for floating in space, as well as two wheel cars, and a weapon of war with large track tires and a long tube.

The dark gnomes also carried weapons like guns, but they seemed very different from the Source Energy Weapons Chu Tian made.

The dark gnomes' technology came from two places, one was the demon's transmutation techniques and the other came from the ancient gnome inheritance. The former was a deep topic while the latter was a purely mechanical field of study. The gnome ancestors were rumoured to have this skill, but it couldn't be seen in the surface world. He never thought that he would see it in this kind of place.

The gnome mechanics were different from the puppet techniques and Chu Tian's source energy technology.

Say it like this.

The gnomes' mechanical technology was a purely physical field of study, based on many precise moving parts creating a complex design that was based on one function. Its flaw was very clear, without any energy technology and purely based on movement, the more sophisticated parts were easy to damage. Therefore, as long as one or two main part was broken, the entire thing would become useless.

The puppet technique was a fighting technique based on runes and control.

The Source Energy Technology had the source energy array at its core and structure as a secondary study.

Although the gnomes' mechanical studies didn't have any future values, the gnomes' ability to make secret mechanical parts did have value. Chu Tian had already gathered a bunch of mechanical technique talents from Great Zhou and if he could find a large group of machine design masters, combining it with the Source Energy Technology of the Yun Sect, their future development would be even more balanced.

Of course.

It was too early thinking of this.

It was better to think of how to deal with the current situation.

A white haired and bent over old gnome sitting on an imposing gnome tank spoke in a voice like that of a king, "The gnomes have limits to our patience. I'll give you ten seconds to bring out the thing we want, otherwise the entire valley will be burned down!"

"Stop counting, save your breath!"

A calm voice rang out.

Chu Tian slowly floated out of the forest valley onto the ground and the Butterfly Demons, the Winged Demons, the Horned Demons, and the Green Demons all came out. They all stood behind Chu Tian, looking like they were prepared to fight the Tyrant Barracks.

The dark gnomes were stunned by this scene.

What was going on? Weren't the four villages fighting each other? Now they looked like they were together. Also that foreign race, when did he wake up and what was the situation now.

The old gnome looked at them, "What is going on here?"

"You can't see it yet? I'm the boss now and they all work for me." Chu Tian looked at the dark gnomes in the distance and said, "You drove this heap of junk and brought all these ugly disabled people missing limbs here, you want to cause clamour in my territory with just this?"

This was only a while.

This place already became the foreign race's territory?

Just what was going on here?

The dark gnomes didn't care this much, they just needed to take this foreign race. Just based on his invincible body and the firepower inside him that made people tremble, this was a valuable biological material. Perhaps they could refine something even more powerful than the Tyrant!

The old gnome coldly said, "An outsider that has invaded the Purgatory World, what qualification do you have to be the master here? I suggest you obediently surrender and you'll suffer a bit less hardship, otherwise….."

The gnome tank raised its barrel to show what he wanted to say next.

There was a round artillery shell that was shot out of the long barrel. Although the gnomes didn't understand source energy technology, this bullet was made of high energy crystal, so it would cause heavy losses if this shell could enter the forest valley.

Hong!

Chu Tian flicked out a beam of sword qi and made the shell explode in midair. It instantly created a shockwave that filled the surrounding area with chaos.

"You dare show off this junk in front of father?" Chu Tian gave a snort of contempt, "If it wasn't for the fact father's Source Energy Cannons can't be transported here, you would have already been blown to pieces!"

Indeed.

The dark gnome's battle cars and tanks were a bit interesting.

The dark gnomes' weapons were too disappointing. Directly making artillery out of crystals, it had a high cost, limited power, and was very dangerous. This was because these crystals couldn't be controlled and if they met a spatial expert like Chu Tian or Vivian, directly taking a few shells from the magazine, there would be a series of magnificent fireworks.

Miracle Commerce's Source Energy Weapons were not as dangerous as these weapons.

The Source Energy Weapons used energy batteries and the Source Energy Batteries were stable. Without an array to activate it, it was very safe. Not to mention the Source Energy Weapons were very strong. Even the earliest Source Energy Cannon was two-three times stronger than the gnomes' cannon!

The dark gnome said with a cold smile, "It's too early to act arrogant."

At this time, the super synthesis beast Tyrant walked out. From the energy aura coming from the Tyrant, it should be a super living weapon comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"A duel?" Chu Tian had no fear as he calmly walked out, "I like it!"

"You think you can beat the Tyrant?" The old gnome gave a sharp laugh of ridicule, "The Tyrant was a high grade demon to being with and it is now a great being made of several biological materials. It not only has strength in the 7th True Spirit Layer, it also has a defense equal to the 9th True Spirit Layer and it has mastered many high grade fighting techniques. You think you alone can injure the Tyrant, you think you alone….."

"You really are chatty." Chu Tian didn't listen any longer, "Phaseless Sword Finger!"

Puchi!

Just like paper cut apart!

There was no magnificent scene.

There was no dazzling poses.

The powerful Tyrant suddenly shook and it was split by an invisible blade from head to toe. It split into two pieces and fell to the ground dead!

Silence!

Complete silence!

Everyone's eyes were about to pop out.

Was this a fucking dream! Just what was going on?

This Phaseless Sword used half his spirit energy, but the effect was very satisfying. Chu Tian laughed as he provoked them, "I've only used a bit of strength and I actually killed him. You're right, I really can't hurt it!"

"You, you..."

"Kill him, kill him!"

"Flatten this entire valley!"

The gnomes were filled with rage. The Transmuted Beasts and mercenaries all charged forward with this order. Chu Tian took out a scroll while shaking his head and released eighteen sealed golden figures.

The little fox did not slack off and instantly released six souls, summoning six level three demon beasts!

Want to fight?

Alright!

You Purgatory locals better open your eyes properly to see father's true strength!

Chu Tian had even released the Phaseless Sword and the eighteen Divine Servants, naturally he wasn't showing any mercy. He wanted to use a crushing strength to directly crushed these blind people.

Chapter 533: Tyrant Barracks

The eighteen Divine Servants were an important fighting force for Chu Tian.

Strength in the 6th True Spirit Layer and bodies that were close to being undying, they were simply terrifying killing machines!

The gnomes collapsed at a single attack, how could they resist it? But the gnomes were completely taken over by anger and they wanted to cut Chu Tian to ten thousand pieces, so how could they think about all of that!

The mercenaries charged forward as the gnomes raised all kinds of weapons to provide support. These mercenaries were refined with transmutation and although they didn't look too beautiful, they were indeed much stronger!

Divine Sense possession!

When both sides were about to clash, the eighteen Divine Servants gained Chu Tian's powers. They lit up with blue and white flames at almost the same time. The Divine Servants were already very strong, but now that there was the added terrifying Netherworld Flames, how could these trivial inferior Transmuted Beasts and several hundred refined mercenaries block them?

A Divine Servant landed a fist onto a Transmuted Beast!

Just their terrifying strength sent the Transmuted Beast flying with broken bones. The Netherworld Flames followed and it turned the entire Transmuted Beast into ashes.

Peng!

A mercenary raised his thick refined arm to hit the Divine Servant's back.

The Divine Servant didn't react at all and it was like a breeze hitting a stone. Instead the attacker was like a cat with its tail stepped on as he let out a pitiful cry. The Netherworld Flame appeared on his arm and instantly covered his entire arm, swallowing him in just two seconds.

A person disappeared just like this!

This was even in a situation where he was attacking!

The Divine Servants were already very strong and adding in the Netherworld Flames, they were like eighteen flashes of lightning as they passed through the enemy lines. All the Transmuted Beasts and mercenaries where they passed all flew away with pitiful flames before instantly burning into ashes.

The defenses of these mercenaries were simply a joke.

From the beginning of the battle, it was just the scene of destruction.

"Kill, kill for me, kill them all!"

The old gnome roared out in rage. The gnomes quickly attacked with weapons, taking out strange tubes in their hands and shooting large amounts of purple crystal thorn, which fell down like dense raindrops.

The gnomes' crystal thorn guns.

The principle behind the gnome weapons weren't bad, mainly relying on sending out high energy crystals to kill enemies. The crystals had been refined with transmutation, so they had a very strong penetrating power. It was enough to easily pierce through a target's protective spirit energy or their cultivation technique.

The eighteen Divine Servants didn't even place these attacks in their eyes, not even bothering to put up defenses. They were hit by over a hundred attacks, but not even a single hair was hurt.

"Cannon, use the cannon!"

The gnomes started the cannon in a panic. A large cannon hit a Divine Servant and its body finally tensed. It walked out of the flames of the explosion and its skin was a bit injured, but it healed itself in an instant. The Divine Servant did not delay for this attack that wasn't even worth mentioning as he continued charging forward.

They were all undying monsters!

The eighteen figures charged into the gnomes looking down on everything, scattering them. The cars, tanks, and cannons were all destroyed with a single punch. After they turned into pieces, they all turned into junk.

This time they were filled with true terror.

Although they knew this foreign race wasn't weak, they never thought it would be this strong. They hoped to catch this biological material to refine a new biological weapon, but they were beaten this tragically after coming out this fiercely. The Tyrant was killed, their mercenaries were destroyed, and all the weapons the gnomes refined over the years were destroyed.

"Run out of tricks?" Chu Tian crossed his hands across his chest, watching the gnomes escape in panic like he was watching a play. He spoke with a dissatisfied look, "This is really disappointing, I hoped that you would have some new tricks! Alright, I don't like wasting words. You can either surrender or die, it's your choice."

The Butterfly Demons and other village chiefs were stunned seeing this.

They finally understood just how strong this person was!

He was a man that could destroy the Tyrant at will and summon these invincible, undying battle puppets. Even that common looking little creature beside him had a shocking power.

Was this still a person?

These people were overjoyed that they chose to surrender fast enough, otherwise if he was angry, he could have easily burned down their villages!

"You intruder! Damn spy! You think that you can make us submit based on this?" The old gnome shouted out, "We have a backer in Darkness City, you're seeking death if you dare move against us! Darkness City won't let you go, you can try moving against us if you dare!"

Chu Tian disappeared on the spot with a single step and he appeared in front of the old gnome.

A sword qi was sent out and the old gnome was cut apart as he was sent several dozen meters away, with a flame swallowing him up right after. He had just been shouting out threats, but had turned into ashes the next second.

"Who still has something to say!" Chu Tian stood on the gnome tank looking around, just like a king looking down on his subjects. He who had a free and relaxed nature revealed a serious expression, just like turning into a different person, "Come out now!"

The gnomes lost all their fighting spirit.

"We surrender, we surrender!"

Their leader had already been killed, who dared to resist any longer? Finally, the gnomes chose to surrender and submit!

This outsider by himself defeated the thousands of troops brought by the gnomes in a clean and forceful manner, making these gnomes directly choose to surrender.

This ability was rarely seen in the Purgatory World!

These dark gnomes were an entire power!

Chu Tian ordered Bai Die and the others to gather their army, he would personally head the way to the dark gnomes' Tyrant Barracks. Chu Tian didn't have a foothold in the Purgatory World and he wasn't planning to go to Darkness City for now, but the villages of these low grade demons were too weak, so he needed a more suitable foothold.

The Tyrant Barracks weren't considered too big.

It would be considered a middle sized town if it was placed in the Forest of Chaos.

Chu Tian was quite satisfied with the Tyrant Barracks, this was a very special place. The dark gnomes' camp was constructed like a machine, with copper pipes being everywhere like they were transporting energy, maintaining the cycle of the entire camp. The camp was filled with the machines and cannons the dark gnomes invented, creating a strong defense.

The gnomes' technology had a large effect on the environment.

The pipes of the camp kept sending disgusting liquid to a nearby little lake and there were green waste materials all around sticking out of the ground. There was some colourful moss and there were chimneys all over the camp, releasing black smoke without stop.

Chu Tian only didn't like this point.

But this didn't matter since this was just a temporary foothold.

Chu Tian was worried the dark gnomes would revolt, so he first teleported past the boundaries and destroyed all the defenses, allowing his large army to slowly enter the camp. When Chu Tian entered the camp, Chu Tian found that in the living space of the dark gnomes, almost every family had a small workshop. There were many large scale laboratories in the camp, as well as many machine factories. It seemed like the lives of every gnome was very busy.

The strong races developed their strength.

The weak races developed their technology.

The gnomes were pitifully weak and had limited potential growth, but they could gain status in the brutal Purgatory World with their technology. This was was quite respectable looking at this point.

"This camp will fall under my control from this day forth." Chu Tian didn't care about his intruder status, "My orders will be higher than anything. Anyone that dares go against me, I will not be stingy with the flames of punishment!"

"Yes!"

"We will follow the great leader!"

The high level members of the villages and the gnomes all respectfully bowed down.

In the Purgatory World, experts were respected. Strength was used to rule no matter where they went, no one found anything strange with this. Who told Chu Tian to be the strongest? It was natural that he became the new master of the camp, no one cared about his status as an invader.

Chu Tian went through the information he obtained. There were over ten thousand dark gnomes living in the Tyrant Barracks and although they weren't very strong, each one of them was a highly skilled mechanic and understood the demon's transmutation techniques. This strengthened their overall group, so they had high value in training!

"We have two tasks!"

"First, attack more villages, stealing more people and territory!"

"Second, I want you all to collect spatial crystals, the more the better!"

Chu Tian opened a large map and placed attack marks on nearby large and small camps and villages. Chu Tian directly drew several circles, these were the first targets for their attack.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Chu Tian asked, "Do you have any objection?""

"The great leader is not from a Purgatory Race, so you might not understand the Purgatory World too well. This kind of large scale territory expansion will draw a large problem!" Bai Die came out and said, "Capturing the Tyrant Barracks this time might already offend Darkness City. If we keep wildly expanding, we'll draw out an even bigger problem."

Chu Tian disdainfully said, "This is not something you need to worry about. Your responsibilities are just to follow my orders, understand?"

"Yes, great leader!"

These people didn't dare say anything else.

Although doing this was very dangerous, wasn't it still better than being burned to death by the great leader's flames?

Chu Tian in the mind of the Purgatory people was even more terrifying than the devil, they wouldn't dare go against him.

Actually it wasn't that Chu Tian didn't know what Bai Die said.

But Chu Tian didn't have time to stay in Purgatory for too long.

Otherwise he could stabilize properly if he took several months to manage this, but wouldn't he still need to manage Miracle City? It had to be known Miracle City wasn't without problems.

Therefore, it had to be a failure or a quick success, there was no other choice.

Chapter 534: Spatial crystal mine

Chu Tian occupied the camp and with his eighteen Divine Servants and the little fox as a vanguard, he expanded in all directions. He controlled ten Purgatory villages in just a week and at least twenty thousand low grade demons were under him.

Sometimes Chu Tian liked this Purgatory World very much.

Fighting if one had strength and surrendering if one couldn't win, there was no problems at all. There was no need to mention honour or loyalty, as long as he was stronger, everything he did was natural. The law of the jungle was already deeply imprinted in the souls of every Purgatory local.

The Purgatory people all felt that the weak should submit to the strong.

Was there a difference in submitting to someone else and getting them submit to you?

Therefore when the Purgatory locals suffered threat of extermination, no matter what the other power was, they would fall to the one threatening them. According to the Purgatory rules and customs, those that submit would escape the flames of war and wars only exploded when people stole from others.

What if the expansion aggression of the continent was this smooth? The Eagle Burial Kingdom would have already conquered their surrounding area!

"Great leader, these are the newly plundered loot!"

Bai Die respectfully stood in front of Chu Tian. She softly waved her hand and ten snow white skinned beautiful young Butterfly Demons came in, with each one holding a large bundle of things. There were crystals, herbs, strange items, as well as Purgatory specialties Chu Tian hadn't seen before.

Chu Tian carefully looked over the things and picked out several level three Sacred Herbs, as well as some precious materials of the Purgatory World. Among the spoils of war, there was a flame sealed inside a crystal bottle.

"Yi, this is?"

This was not a normal flame seed, it didn't need anything to burn. The surrounding spiritual energy was gathered inside and it seemed to be swallowing it as it cultivated.

Bai Die explained, "Reporting to the great leader, this is a Earth Core True Flame Seed."

Purgatory was deep underground and it was surrounded by lava or volcanoes that were millions of years old. This kind of environment could give birth to heaven and earth flames. This Earth Cort True Flame was not inferior to the Netherworld Ghost Flame, only this was a kind of high temperature true yang flame, that was not the same as the Netherworld Ghost Flame. Not to mention it was a flame seed, so with how evolved the Netherworld Flame was, there was no meaning in swallowing it.

This was a good flame seed.

It couldn't be wasted!

Chu Tian thought about how Nangong Yun had a fire source spirit. Although the flames of the divine phoenix was not inferior to spiritual flames, the phoenix flames were more suited to reincarnation. If she could refine an intense yang flame, her battle potential would increase by a large amount.

Good, he would do that.

Chu Tian looked over the other things after putting away the flame seed, "I don't need the other things, take it away to distribute among the others."

"Thank you great leader, thank you great leader!"

Bai Die almost kowtowed to Chu Tian in her excitement.

This great leader was very mysterious, his background was not simple no matter how she looked at it. These spoils of war had a high value, it would be an unimaginable wealth for any rogue cultivator and even a large force would be enticed by it.

The great leader didn't even take an extra look, just casually taking out a few things before giving everything else to his subordinates. This kind of action was not something normal people could do.

"As long as you help me do things, there won't be lack in benefits." Chu Tian suddenly thought of something, "The materials I want, have you prepared it for me?"

"We wouldn't dare forget the great leader's orders."

The Butterfly Demons brought in several large boxes and each one was filled with black jade talismans. Chu Tian casually opened one and saw the writing and illustrations in the demon language. It was the transmutation technique material Chu Tian wanted.

"Not bad, this is very helpful to me. You have done very good."

"To work for the great leader is our honour." Bai Die said this and suddenly tried asking, "These ten clansmen are the Butterfly Demons with the most noble bloodline in our village. They're willing to give themselves to the great leader and do various things for the great leader."

Chu Tian was a bit stunned.

The Butterfly Demons had many foreign features, but their overall looks still conformed to human standards. The Butterfly Demons had their wings, demon tails, sharp ears, and incredibly white skin, this gave them the style of a foreign race. In a human country, there would be many nobles that would like this.

Bai Die said in an enticing voice without hiding anything, "The Butterfly Demons are sincere in giving our loyalty to the great leader. As long as the great leader needs anything, any one of us can serve you, including me."

"I understand your well intentions, but it is busy right now, so you can all leave."

"Yes, yes!"

Bai Die and the other Butterfly Demons were a bit disappointed.

But since Chu Tian didn't need anything, they could only give up for now.

It wasn't that Chu Tian didn't like beauties, there were many beauties already by Chu Tian's side and he didn't have any goodwill towards these demon beauties. The demons and dark races were all fickle races. Don't mention them being respectful to and obeying Chu Tian for now, that was all because Chu Tian was strong enough. If someone stronger defeated Chu Tian, these previously loyal subordinates would betray him without any hesitation, even stepping on him a few times when leaving.

Whether it was against resisting threats or enticements, the demons couldn't be relied on.

Although there were different cases for each race, in general, demons were a clan of true villains. Chu Tian using force and benefits to control them was enough, he did not need to invest any more emotions or energy because the other side was not worth it.

Chu Tian refined several pills using the Purgatory materials.

The Purgatory herbs were worth less than in the Forest of Chaos. Perhaps it was because of the low price in herbs that even the most low grade demon villages could have decent average strength.

Purgatory really was a good place. Although the space was very vast, there were many places that couldn't be inhabited, so there weren't as many Purgatory people. It couldn't even compare to an empire on the continent.

But because of the many unexplored areas, Purgatory was filled with large amounts of unknown treasures.

Developing a force here was just to consider this point.

Chu Tian felt his spirit energy becoming richer after swallowing the pills, charging to the 5th True Spirit Layer. He then picked up the transmutation books taken from the Tyrant Barracks. Actually Chu Tian had done a bit of research into transmutation, but it didn't exist in the future. It had disappeared from history just like the Shaman's witchcraft.

Of course, according to what Chu Tian knew, the true demonic transmutation techniques came from the Abyss World.

When humans reached the beginning of other plane research, the human source energy technology had already reached a peak. Although they touched the demonic transmutation technique in the abyss, they didn't care about it that much and there weren't many scholars who researched it.

Chu Tian was a great sage in source energy technology, but no matter how much knowledge he had in his brain, without a foundation and enough time to prepare, he could not reach the peak like his previous world. Not to mention development of civilization was special. With Chu Tian's butterfly effect on this world, even if enough time passed on the continent, it wouldn't develop into the same continent.

Chu Tian needed to draw in more knowledge and more culture to create a unique new era.

"Reporting, reporting to the great leader!"

The Winged Demon leader quickly charged in.

"Didn't I say not to bother me?" Chu Tian was reading the transmutation when he was suddenly disrupted. He couldn't help feeling a bit dissatisfied, "What is going on?"

The Winged Demon quickly respectfully said, "Great leader, we've had progress finding the spatial crystals you wanted."

"Did you find it?"

"It can't be considered finding it. We've found a mine and it is a spatial crystal mine!"

"Spatial crystal mine?" Chu Tian revealed a look of disbelief, "Are you certain?"

"We wouldn't dare lie to the great leader, it really is a spatial crystal mine. Only it isn't easy to mine the spatial crystal mine."

Chu Tian didn't even think about it, "Come, bring me to take a look!"

Spatial material was one of the rarest material on the continent. As long as it was something containing spatial energy, no matter what grade it had, it would be precious. Miracle City collected spatial crystals from everywhere to make the Transport Towers. In the end they had to cooperate with the elves, making several Transport Towers in the Forest of Chaos, creating a transport network in the elven territory.

Miracle City and Miracle Commerce had a very high need for spatial crystals!

Even the elves couldn't take out many spatial crystals now and it would be difficult for Miracle Commerce to make even more Transport Towers. Now there was someone who had appeared in front of Chu Tian with a spatial crystal mine, how could Chu Tian not be shocked?

Chu Tian left the Tyrant Barracks with the Winged Demon, arriving at their destination after two hours.

The Winged Demon leader pointed upwards and said, "Look great leader, that is the crystal stone mine."

Spatial ore was not like normal ore veins, it was not born in the earth, but rather in the sky. The spatial mineral lode can appear in any space, either in outer space or the abyss, as well as normal environments. Its shape was also different from normal ore veins.

Chu Tian could feel it when he approached, the spatial fluctuations here were very chaotic, as well as many spatial cracks. When he looked up at where the Winged Demon was pointing, there were many crystals glittering in the sky.

"This is just what is revealed outside, it's said that there is a mysterious demon beast living inside the true spatial vein. Anyone that has seen it has never been lucky enough to escape." The Winged Demon flew in front of an ore and when he reached out to grab it, his hand passed through it. It was like he was just touching an illusion, "Look great leader, even the ones flying outside is not something normal people can touch."

The spatial ore did exist.

It was a hundred percent certain based on the surrounding spatial fluctuations.

The Winged Demon couldn't grab the ore because the ore's spatial energy created a spatial refraction and the real ore wasn't in this place. It could be refracted from a different position or it could be like Void Escaping, being on a different spatial level, therefore mining the ore was very difficult.

Chapter 535: Crack

These ores contained precious spatial crystals, but not everyone could excavate them, otherwise wouldn't they have already been taken?

When Chu Tian stood in the center of the countless unmoving ores, his Divine Sense could feel that the energy coming from each ore around him change, as each ore released an unstable energy. Although it seemed like they weren't moving at all, the spatial level changed every second. He couldn't lock onto their location even with his Divine Sense.

This condition was very similar to Void Escaping.

Void Escaping could release a similar effect, which not only made normal attacks ineffective, it also reduced the effect of spiritual attacks.

Of course.

Void Escaping was by no means invincible.

Void Escaping had spatial energy as a base and used it to control space. The consumption that came from controlling space depended on interference, just like how teleporting in a normal environment was different from teleporting in water.

Air was lighter and had a smaller influence on spatial control, therefore it cost even less energy to teleport.

Water was heavier and had a greater influence in spatial control, therefore it cost even more energy to teleport.

This meant that materials with high enough energy and density could interfere with space. Therefore, enemies that were strong enough could break Void Escaping with their normal attacks. The similar logic applied here where only if Chu Tian used strong enough harvesting materials or a strong enough energy field could he return the space crystals to the main material layer, allowing him to easily harvest it.

This was not easy.

It at least couldn't be done with the Purgatory technology, which was the reason why no one harvested this space ore vein. If Chu Tian connected the Purgatory World to Miracle City, with Miracle City's technology, they should be able to do it.

The Winged Demon Leader saw Chu Tian not saying a word and he was worried in his heart. He carefully asked, "If this mine has no value, we can still keep searching!"

"No, it has its use, but we can't mine it for now." Chu Tian said this and asked, "You said that there was a mysterious demon beast that appeared around this mine, where is it?"

The Winged Demon leader's expression changed hearing this, "Great leader, that beast is very strong, almost no one returned alive after seeing it. We know nothing about it, it's better if the great leader does not take this risk easily."

"Is that so?" Chu Tian wasn't scared at all, "Then I have to see it. Bring me there now!"

The Winged Demons all looked at each other in blank dismay.

The great leader was truly daring.

The Winged Demon had no other choice, they could only brace themselves and bring Chu Tian to the forbidden area.

"That demon beast's territory is in front. There is no accurate description of its appearance, there are only legends from the surrounding villages."

Chu Tian's eyes focused on the area and in the end there was a faint mist appearing in his eyes.

This was not a normal mist, even Chu Tian's Divine Sense couldn't penetrate it. This was formed from countless small spatial trembles. If Chu Tian's guesses weren't wrong there should be a spatial crack inside.

"Guard outside, I'm going in to take a look."

"This, this..."

Chu Tian didn't discuss this with them, he just jumped in. Like a soft feather, he ignored gravity as he rose from the ground, finally jumping into the mist.

In an instant.

Chu Tian felt his Divine Sense being completely covered.

There was no choice. Every particle in the surrounding space all dissipated from the spatial crack, therefore there were unstable spatial energy waves in them. Once his Divine Sense met this spatial energy particles, they would be scattered into different subspaces. His Divine Sense couldn't remain for a long time and also couldn't spread further out.

Chu Tian was no different than a blind man this situation.

Whether it was his eyes or his Divine Sense, they were all seriously blocked off.

If he didn't have any directions in this chaotic space, it was very likely he would never find the spatial crack.

"Fox, is there anything on your side?"

The little fox's Divine Eye only revealed white fog. It blew onto it and rubbed it with its claw, but even like this, the Divine Eye had no use at all.

"Forget it." Chu Tian's pupils gradually turned white. With the Demon God Nine Changes, he could use spatial energy, which made Chu Tian more sensitive to spatial energy. He could feel the direction the spatial chaos was coming form and could find the position of the spatial crack, "It's over here!"

Chu Tian slowly swam forward to a position with the little fox.

The spatial crack kept releasing waves of particles and each particle was filled with spatial energy. Spatial existences will only last a short period of time because the unstable spatial energy will be quickly released and scattered, but also because of this, the closer one was to the spatial crack, the stronger the energy waves were.

Chu Tian felt a kind of splitting feeling.

This splitting feeling was not a normal splitting feeling. From head to toe, from inside to outside, almost every part of his body and almost every cell inside of him seemed like it was being split by something unseen.

This place was already very close to the spatial crack.

It was because of this that the spatial energy particles were strong enough to interfere with material objects. If Chu Tian didn't have a strong body from the Starlight Immortal Body and have a strong recovery ability, he would have been disintegrated by the countless spatial particles.

Even Chu Tian was like this, it was no wonder no one else dared come here.

Void Escaping!

Chu Tian used the Void Escaping to dodge the spatial tremors, avoiding his body from being ripped apart.

"The spatial chaos ahead is even stronger." Chu Tian's white pupils had faint ripples, "Fox, prepare yourself. We will charge into the spatial crack at once."

The little fox nodded and tightly held onto Chu Tian.

Chu Tian's Void Escaping could also pull things touching him into the void state. This ability was suited for inanimate objects, but the little fox was relatively special, it could take the initiative to work with Chu Tian's ability. Therefore when Chu Tian used the Void Escaping, the little fox could enter the same state.

"Begin!"

Chu Tian instantly teleported several hundred meters. When Chu Tian appeared again, the surrounding space distorted. The spatial particles attacked this space and it was like the air was being cooked under a high temperature as it distorted several times more seriously.

He could only teleport here.

This was because the energy in front of him was too strong and Chu Tian couldn't control the space. However, with Chu Tian's current position, he could look up to see the chaotic space, moving towards an area with a glowing spiral.

This area was the spatial crack.

Large amounts of fast spatial particles were passing through the Void Escaping to hit his body.

Chu Tian knew that he didn't have much time. He immediately gathered all his strength into his finger tip and a giant power exploded forward.

"Phaseless Sword!"

That twisted space was suddenly blocked off by a kind of power.

Chu Tian actually scattered the chaotic space with just one slash. Chu Tian took this chance to jump forward and before the chaotic current was restored, he finally jumped into a mirror like area. His entire body became a mirror image from the spatial energy.

"We succeeded." Chu Tian took out a True Spirit Pill and quickly restored the spirit energy he just used, "So close, we were almost ripped apart by the crack!"

Chu Tian came in smoothly, but his body was covered in injuries, all formed by the corrosion of the spatial energy. Chu Tian didn't care that much about these injuries. His eyes turned green and with the life attribute, he turned his spirit energy into life energy, healing all his wounds in less than five minutes.

"The True Spirit Pills the young miss prepared for me are really useful!" Chu Tian threw another one into his mouth, "I have to get another twenty bottles after going back!"

This was the connected space of the spatial crack, a natural subspace.

The subspace was attached to the main space, but it was still an independent spatial area. Miracle Commerce also used a similar space, but that space could not hold spiritual energy or souls, so most living creatures or even undead couldn't enter it.

This subspace's specialty was that it was big. A spatial crack had connected this subspace to the main space, allowing material and energy from the main space to enter this place, so it had already become a branch of the main space. It was fused with the main space, so there wasn't much difference between them.

Spatial crystals!

They were all spatial crystals!

Chu Tian looked around and this place was filled with small floating mountains. Each mountain was releasing a white spatial energy wave. These were materials sucked in from the main space and combined with the spatial energy here, finally accumulating large amounts of these giant spatial ores.

This was great!

They wouldn't need to worry about not having enough spatial crystals from now on.

Chu Tian just wanted to float over to examine the quality of the spatial crystals when the little fox felt something dangerous, immediately giving Chu Tian a sharp warning sound.

The surrounding spatial energy seemed to be forming a fist.

Chu Tian's pupils slightly narrowed. He was in the middle of this invisible fist and if this fist came down, Chu Tian would be turned into a meat patty by the spatial energy.

Teleport!

Chu Tian dodged with a teleportation.

There were waves of beast roars filling the space, that was dignified and filled with anger, like a venerable god being provoked by a heretic. Chu Tian knew what it was, it had to be the monster the Winged Race mentioned. Chu Tian rubbed the scrolls at his waist and saw that it could still lock onto Miracle City's location, so Chu Tian didn't have any more worries.

"Come out if you have the skills. Don't hide and make sneaky moves, you're just like a little girl."

Chu Tian believed that this creature was very strong. Since it had this powerful strength, its intelligence would not be low, so it would definitely understand Chu Tian's provocation.

Chapter 536: Void Beas

t

When his voice fell.

The spatial energy came again.

Chu Tian could clearly feel a claw flying out of the void.

Actually this claw was still very far from Chu Tian, no one would put it together with danger, but Chu Tian could clearly feel it. The moment the claw appeared, there was a current of spatial energy.

This claw didn't have any attack powers.

But it could create spatial attacks!

Chu Tian quickly dodged it as several spatial distortions appeared in midair.

A giant mountain was split apart, becoming several pieces without a sound. The cuts were very smooth and the entire process happened without a sound. It was like what was broken wasn't an incomparably firm crystal filled with powerful energy, rather it was like a feather or a piece of paper.

So close!

If he was half a second slower, Chu Tian would have been ripped apart.

This attack was not a direct attack, but an attack on the spatial level. It was very sharp and power. He could tell from this information that the beast hiding in the crack was a rare space attributed beast.

Was innate spatial energy rare?

Innate spatial beasts were even rarer!

Chu Tian didn't even have time to think as a strong sense of danger appeared again. This attack was another powerful spatial attack! When Chu Tian successfully dodged it, there were spatial ripples behind him like large rocks being thrown into a lake.

Large fissures appeared in space.

Wherever the fissures went, space was ripped apart.

In front of spatial energy, space itself was very weak.

Although he could see the attacks, he couldn't identify what the other side was. If Chu Tian's guesses weren't wrong, this demon beast had a method of hiding in space. It was very careful and cautious, even a high level reconnaissance technique would not be able to find it because it was not in this space at all!

If he kept fighting like this, he had no chance of winning at all.

What was lucky was that there weren't powerful spatial fluctuations inside the spatial crack. Chu Tian could release his Divine Sense, barely being able to track where this fellow was attacking from. No matter how good the other side was, the moment they attacked, they had to reveal themselves, so Chu Tian used this to dodge the attacks.

This demon beast was not just strong, it also had many attacks. It could fail a hundred times, but if it succeeded once, it would be enough for Chu Tian to die!

Chu Tian knew this and immediately released the eighteen Divine Servants with a scroll. The eighteen Divine Servants charged at the area the mysterious demon beast attacked from.

"Roar!"

This demon beast let out a low roar and swept out with its claw. The invincible bodies of two Divine Servants were instantly cut into pieces like tofu and sent flying away.

Chu Tian instantly locked onto the position of the demon beast.

He had all the other Divine Servants charge at the demon beast.

This demon beast sent several Divine Servants flying with wild angry roars. Chu Tian followed the tracks of his attacks and reduced the area the little demon beast could be in. The remaining Divine Servants were covered in the Netherworld Ghost Flame, suddenly charging towards where it was hiding.

How could just the Netherworld Flame be enough?

The spatial beast escaped into the void and it wouldn't be burned even if they approached.

Chu Tian's white eyes were filled with spatial fluctuations and at the same time, the spatial fluctuations appeared at the center of the Divine Servant's blockade, making a faint outline appear. It became the target of the Divine Servants and they charged right at it.

Peng!

They also stopped at the same time.

It was like they hit a wall that couldn't be seen.

A giant demon beast flicked its tail and the Divine Servants were sent flying.

What Chu Tian needed was an opportunity. Chu Tian interfered with the space to stop the demon beast and when the demon beast sent the Divine Servants flying, his body had mostly come back. Normal cultivators couldn't attack in this kind of condition, but this wasn't a problem for Chu Tian.

"Phaseless Sword Finger!"

Chu Tian gathered spirit energy to release two Phaseless Sword that even the strongest defenses couldn't resist, breaking the invisible barrier. The terrifying energy penetrated the spatial barrier and the remaining power landed on to the demon beast. The demon beast instantly let out a pitiful wail as large pieces of crystal and flesh flew out.

It actually didn't kill it?

The two Phaseless Sword Fingers hit their target, but it didn't hit a fatal point, so the demon beast didn't die. Only even with its heavy injuries, it manipulated space again, making Chu Tian's expression change. This time Chu Tian could injure it because he relied on the eighteen Divine Servants to distract it.

This move couldn't be used a second time!

The demon beast wouldn't be fooled again with its intelligence, not to mention that the Divine Servants were already seriously injured. They needed a bit of time to recover even with their undying power and Chu Tian had condensed all his spirit energy to release these two Phaseless Sword Fingers. Therefore once the demon beast entered another space again, Chu Tian wouldn't have any chance to win.

"Roar!"

The little fox jumped out at this critical moment and turned into a several meter tall Demonic Fox. There were four thick and large tails swaying behind it and it was filled with an ancient and mysterious aura like a monarch looking down on the world. Its demonic green eyes were flashing with a strange glow.

The little fox had already cultivated four tails and it seemed like its skills had been greatly increased.

The mysterious demon beast that was about to meld into space trembled.

It was frozen!

Chu Tian never thought that the little fox would reach this point. Even if this demon beast wasn't a fourth level demon beast, it was still a peak third level demon beast, with its danger being higher than fourth level demon beasts. This powerful demon beast was actually frozen by the little fox like this.

Could he let this chance go?

Chu Tian swallowed a True Spirit Pill to recover his spirit energy before releasing another sword finger. This time the power directly entered the monster's flesh and cut its head in half. The mysterious demon beast didn't even have time to cry out before it was killed without even knowing what happened.

He never thought that it would be this easy to kill such a dangerous demon beast!

The little fox had merits this time. If it wasn't for it using its demonic techniques to freeze the demon beast at the critical moment, Chu Tian wouldn't have had the chance to take care of it.

"Just what is this thing?"

This demon beast's body was transparent like crystal and it was covered in exquisite scales, with each one being a high grade spatial material. Chu Tian felt that if he peeled these scales, he could make a high grade armour. Other than that, this demon beast's claws, fang, and flesh were all considered rare materials.

"This seems to be…..A demonic beast's inner core!"

Chu Tian took out a round thing. Although Chu Tian didn't know what this demon beast was called, Chu Tian could recognize the demon beast's beast crystal and what was called a demonic beast's inner core.

Demon beasts and demonic beasts were not the same thing.

Demon beasts had a fixed population and multiplication method and the demonic beasts came from constant evolution. Even a piece of grass, a log, or even a small beast could become a demonic beast. Demonic beasts were much stronger than demon beasts and the little fox could also be considered a demonic beast.

A demon beast's beast crystal was the crystallization of their power, just like a reservoir being able to store water, which could be used at any time. The demonic beast's inner core was the cultivation essence of the demonic beast. This essence was not just the source of their energy, but the essence of the demonic beast itself. It was something that people could directly absorb.

A demonic beast was already very rare.

Not to mention a spatial demonic beast?

A demonic beast's inner core would quickly disappear after death and Chu Tian didn't want to waste this precious demonic core, so he quickly sat down on a giant peak and began to absorb the source energy inside the demonic core.

Chu Tian learned from the knowledge inside the demonic core that this demon beast was called a Void Beast.

The Void Beast was not born, it was a natural demonic beast created in a set environment. The Void Beast could freely disappear into space and ate spatial crystals. A grown Void Beast was at level four at least and the one Chu Tian met wasn't full grown yet.

The Void Beast's inner core was a precious item. Not only did it contain the life essence of the Void Beast, it also included the ancient memories of the Void Beast. Chu Tian swallowed the Void Beast's inner core, which was not just a large increase to his cultivation, it also strengthened his spatial energy and spatial abilities, having a large effect on the.

After a few days.

The entire space trembled.

Chu Tian broke through to the 5th True Spirit Layer and his attainments in the Phaseless Sword and Void Escaping greatly increased. Because Chu Tian killed a Void Beast, his strength had increased by several times.

"This really is a good place." Chu Tian looked around. The most precious thing was that Miracle City's location could still be sensed here, "If a Transport Tower was built here, it would become a natural shelter."

The spatial fluctuations at the spatial crack was too strong.

Even peak 9th True Spirit Experts couldn't break through the spatial crack!

What did that mean? This meant that even if a large army approached, they could not attack. No matter how many there were or how strong they were, if Miracle Commerce guarded the subspace entrance, there would be no threats.

He took a rough estimate of the space's volume.

The space was several kilometers in width and length. He didn't calculate the depth, but it should be around a hundred kilometers, so this place could build a city that could host a million people!

But a city couldn't be made at once.

Since Chu Tian had occupied this space, he wasn't in a rush. He first left the space with great difficulty and when Chu Tian appeared, he was surrounded by Butterfly Demons and Winged Demons.

"What do you have to report?"

"This is bad, great leader, Darkness City have already sent people to the Tyrant Barracks. If we can't solve this crisis, the Tyrant Barracks can't be guarded."

"Is that so? What will come will come eventually. Let's go take a look!"

Chu Tian had been too conspicuous lately.

It would be strange if this wild stealing of territory didn't attract Darkness City's attention. Now that they had come, it was fortunate for Chu Tian.

Chapter 537: Succubus

Chu Tian rushed into the Tyrant Barracks and was stunned by what he saw.

"Don't move!"

Several tens of thousands of Darkness City soldiers were densely gathered in front of him, each one holding a bow. The tip of the arrows were all pointed at Chu Tian.

Fuck!

Damn!

Even if Chu Tian knew that Darkness City would send quite a few people, he never thought it would be this many!

The Tyrant Barracks must be filled with panic. The demon and dark races didn't have any concept of loyalty, so if Darkness City came out in full arms to attack a rebel, even if they contacted Chu Tian, they concealed the other side's numbers. They wanted to see Chu Tian fall into a trap, so there wouldn't need to be a choice of whether to fight or not.

Damn, the situation was more serious than he thought!

The Darkness City army was this big and if the two sides fought, there was no chance of winning.

Chu Tian was sent into the Tyrant Barracks by the Darkness City soldiers. He moved through the countless elite dark race warriors before finally seeing their leader.

"You are the new leader of the Tyrant Barracks?" A demon that was around two meters tall with large wings on its back and long horns on its head was currently staring at Chu Tian with its purple eyes, "You are not someone from the Purgatory World, you actually dare act this unruly!"

A Dark Demon.

Dark Demon's full name was Darkness Demon, they were the largest clan of high grade demons and were the most common demons. They came from the Abyss World and developed in the Purgatory World for certain reasons. They were the strongest power in the Purgatory World and the largest race of demons.

Chu Tian was very calm as he faced this Dark Demon with a smile, "Don't be nervous, does it matter who is in charge of the Tyrant Barracks? If the Tyrant Barracks are controlled by me, I am confident that it will have more value to Darkness City."

"Humph, Darkness City can't allow a fellow who doesn't follow the rules to exist! Not to mention that you have a fishy origin! We even suspect that you are a foreign spy!" The Dark Demon suddenly stood up and shouted, "Tie him up and bring him back to Darkness City for punishment!"

Ten experts were about to make their move.

"Stop! Isn't it just going to Darkness City?" Chu Tian raised a hand, "I can walk by myself, there's no need for you to do anything, but I do have a condition. Before I come back, no one is allowed to move against the Tyrant Barracks."

The Dark Demon coldly stared at him, "Do you feel you have the qualification to give conditions?"

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes at the other side and his Divine Sense fell onto the Dark Demon, making the Dark Demon's mind tremble. He could feel that although Chu Tian's cultivation wasn't that strong, if they wanted to approach him, it would not be an easy matter to accomplish.

This foreign race perhaps didn't have the ability to escape this large blockade, but quite a few casualties would be caused if he tried to fight. Since the main reason for coming here was to bring this person back, it would be better for there to be less problems.

"We're not interested in who's in charge of the Tyrant Barracks, let's go!"

Chu Tian was this obedient this time was not because his personality changed, but rather because Chu Tian knew in his heart that while he could beat a motley crew of thousands, he definitely could not fight a proper Purgatory World army. It was easy for Chu Tian to escape, but once he did, the Tyrant Barracks would fall into disarray. Wouldn't everything he did over the past few days be useless?

Since it was like this, it was better to test his luck in Darkness City.

Chu Tian believed that with his eloquence and ability, he could still give a price tag. Perhaps he could even subdue Darkness City. If he couldn't fight them, he might as well go with them.

Darkness City was only two hundred miles away from the Tyrant Barracks. The entire city was built inside a dark volcano which was a volcano created by a kind of dark energy. It was possible that some dark materials inside the volcano made the lava turn a very strange purple black colour.

Although this was a very active volcano, the dark elemental energy absorbed the energy from the volcano, making it so the volcano didn't erupt. This purple black lava didn't seem hot, but actually the energy was higher than normal magma. The Darkness City creators actually used this live volcano as a protective city barrier for Darkness City.

It was most likely the demons didn't know how to take care of Chu Tian, therefore after Chu Tian had been locked up for several hours, he was sent to a floating demon palace on the purple black lava.

"Go in!"

The demons were an evil and artistic group. Chu Tian was very interested in this hall filled with a Purgatory style. His eyes fell onto the main hall and saw the City Lord's throne was empty. It seemed like the City Lord didn't come.

Chu Tian didn't care about this, his eyes were attracted by the person in the vice City Lord position.

This was a demon who had an appearance just like the humans. She had a head of grey white hair, two small demon horns on her head, snow white skin that seemed like it could be blown away, and bright red lips and eyes that were filled with charm. She wasn't wearing much clothes, with most of her peaks being revealed and a pair of triangular shorts that almost couldn't hold in that abundant butt. Her long legs took up over two thirds of her body, with a pair of leather boots over them. She was currently sitting casually in a position that was very teasing on the throne.

Succubus?

A rare high grade demon variant!

"Human?" A voice that could charm out a person's soul came from above. Although it was a very normal voice, it could make any living being's heart skip a beat, like something was pulling at it, "Human from the surface, why did you appear in the Purgatory World?"

Finally there was someone who recognized humans.

This saved Chu Tian quite a bit of trouble.

This was because anyone with a bit of brains knew that humans did not like Purgatory, this place filled with volcanoes, demons, dark races, evil beings, and covered in sulfur. Moreover, humans stayed as far as Purgatory as possible, so they wouldn't be interested in Purgatory.

Chu Tian said, "I am an explorer. Because I obtained an ancient map to Purgatory, I came down here to explore, so you don't need to be wary of me."

"Explorer?" The Succubus revealed a smile that was filled with charm. She stuck out a blood red tongue which went over her lips, "You should know that I skinned the last person who lied to me and burned him on the dark flame eye for several days before he finally died."

Chu Tian's mind was very strong, "Whether this miss believes or not, I am an explorer that likes to wander, I don't have any other identities and don't pose any threat to Darkness City. I have many technology that you can't even think of, if we work together..."

Before he even finished.

Chu Tian's body slightly trembled.

It was like a powerful energy was released from the Succubus' red eyes that instantly captured Chu Tian's mide. Chu Tian's could tell that this was a very strong Divine Sense control technique. The Succubus hasn't reached the Vision Domain Realm, but because of her race's innate talent, she could control enemies stronger than her.

Chu Tian didn't know how strong this Succubus was, but it wasn't less than the peak True Spirit Realm, otherwise how could she become the vice City Lord of a Purgatory City? Once this charm was released, no one in the True Spirit Realm could resist!

No matter who the other side was, as long as they fell under the Succubus' methods, they would be completely controlled by the Succubus. They would be willing to go through a sea of blades and flames, how could one not obtain the truth?

The Succubus was disappointed this time. This infallible control technique only made him slightly stunned.

The Succubus' face slightly changed. She changed her sitting position and revealed a serious expression.

At this time, a voice came from outside.

"Mei Ji, stop." A young dark elf walked in. Chu Tian was a bit stunned when he saw this dark elf, he never thought this fellow actually came here. This dark elf was no one else than the fellow Chu Tian saved in the Subterranean World.

This Succubus named Mei Ji saw the young dark elf and said, "So it's young City Lord Shadow. What, do you know him?"

The dark elf Shadow replied, "This person is a City Lord from the surface. It was him who saved me in Nikello City and allowed me to bring the news of the Subterranean invasion back to Purgatory. Although his real identity needs to be investigated, I believe it isn't likely he is a spy."

Chu Tian could guess that the dark elf was not a simple character based on his age and strength, but Chu Tian was a bit surprised to find that this dark elf was Darkness City's City Lord's son.

"Not a spy? So what if he isn't a spy? He recently brought a group of low grade demons to break the regulations, acting recklessly. Just based on this, we can't forgive him that easily." The Succubus' was soft, but it had no mercy at all, "Now to mention that there is only death to people who lie to me."

Did someone trick this female demon of a lollipop when she was three, causing psychological problems?

When Chu Tian wanted to speak, Shadow first said, "Mei Ji, although the demon race you lead is an important power for Darkness City, it is still us dark elves who rule Darkness City. You can't casually kill someone who can help our Darkness City."

Mei Ji revealed a smile, "Then tell me, how can he help Darkness City?"

"This person is not weak and he has many abilities, he is rare in the entirety of the Purgatory World!" Shadow said this and suddenly paused for a bit, "The Devil's Gate ruins are about to open, we need this kind of talented people to explore it. An extra person means more things, there is a greater chance of curing my father's injuries."

"You actually want him to participate in the ruins exploration?" Mei Ji suddenly stood up, "Based on what are you making this decision! The various cities have limited quotas for exploring the Devil's Gate ruins, you actually want to give one of those quotas to an outsider!"

Shadow didn't back down at all, "This person allowed the millions of Purgatory people avoid a disaster, I think based on his contributions to Purgatory and Darkness City, it's enough for him to participate! Not to mention that he would increase our chance of success by quite a bit. There is no time with how serious father's injuries are, we have to quickly find a high grade third level Immortal Herb!"
