Chapter 114

Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, Qingchong Master Master Hun Dun Province, the 'Tianqu Mining Area' outside Tianqu City.

"Swish."

A thread crossed the distant void and appeared in a wilderness area outside the Tianqu Mining Area, then transformed into a figure; it was Luo Feng, who had rushed over from the Chu Capital.

Luo Feng mainly focused on five transformation techniques; the Galaxy Transformation Technique was good at long-range attacks, while the other four transformation techniques were more suitable for close combat when integrated into the body. This thread that traveled through the void was the 'Escape Transformation Technique', which was good at traversing the void and was extremely fast. Whether used for escaping or close-quarters combat, the great improvement in movement speed was a huge help.

Being chosen by Luo Feng as one of the five transformation techniques, the escape ability was indeed remarkable, especially after the fusion of 'one hundred and eight trillion drops', the ability to traverse and escape underwent a qualitative change.

"It only took a little over an hour to get from the Chu Capital to the Qingchong Master Master Hun Dun Province; after the improvement in life spirituality, the power of this 'Escape Transformation Technique' has indeed increased quite a bit." Luo Feng was quite satisfied, then looked into the distance at the Tianqu Mining Area ahead.

"This Tianqu Mining Area covers a vast area, much larger than Huyang City," Luo Feng observed. "It's also shrouded in arrays; wanting to steal from it is extremely difficult."

"The thief must either be from within the management or possess extremely high-level methods."

Luo Feng had learned the detailed intelligence of this task from Emperor Master Di Chuyu and knew the troublesome aspects of the task. "The highest manager of the Tianqu Mining Area, who is also the guardian of Tianqu City, is a top-tier Master Master Hun Dun Realm existence. Even that Tianqu City guardian couldn't find the thief's identity."

Because the management couldn't find out, the Emperor Di Chu lineage finally issued this task.

Ancient God Kings and Master Master Hun Dun Realm transcendent existences would never lose face by stealing this little bit of Tianqu Stone Essence. Therefore, in Emperor Master Di Chuyu's view, there was no danger in Luohe going to investigate.

"Let's begin!"

Luo Feng had long had his own set of solutions.

Standing in the wilderness outside the Tianqu Mining Area, countless silver water currents immediately merged into the earth from his body; these silver water currents quickly became extremely fine, so fine that they were invisible to the naked eye of ordinary True Gods.

Countless threads quickly spread, penetrating deep into the earth, surrounding the entire Tianqu Mining Area.

"The Tianqu Mining Area has a diameter of about eight hundred billion kilometers. My Galaxy Transformation Technique can still easily surround it." Luo Feng was quite satisfied; he split off one billion units of the galaxy, and these countless galaxies intertwined wantonly, like a net from heaven and earth, completely surrounding and sealing the entire mining area.

When completely surrounded, Luo Feng could also perceive the purpose of the Tianqu Mining Area's array.

"The array's purpose is not just to seal and track enemies; its core is to guide the power of heaven and earth to gather, allowing the entire mining area to gestate 'Tianqu Stone Essence' faster." Luo Feng could feel a large amount of heaven and earth power being continuously guided and gathered.

The Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom was the core of the Origin Continent and could naturally gestate a large number of treasures. Under the guidance of the array, the gestation speed of Tianqu Stone Essence could also be accelerated.

"Hum."

Luo Feng quietly approached the Tianqu Mining Area, then used his transformation technique to turn into a wisp of wind, naturally attaching himself to a miner. Many miners had to frequently travel between 'Tianqu City' and the mining area.

The depths of the mining area were dark and unfathomable.

"The 'Fengyou Seven' mining area underground—I heard that the last team of miners inside all died." A group of mining cultivators on the move were all a bit nervous.

"The mining area used to be very safe; it's just in the last few epochs that a bunch of miners have died frequently. Even several Eternal True Gods have died. We True Gods don't even have the qualifications to resist."

"I hope we have better luck this time."

This group of mining cultivators comforted each other and kept going deeper.

Under the shroud of the mining area's grand array, they couldn't even slack off if they wanted to.

"We're here, Fengyou Seven Area! Start working," the captain ordered.

The Fengyou Seven Area was considered a very deep area at the bottom, more than three hundred billion kilometers from the surface. The miners used secret techniques, and suddenly, beams of light lit up, illuminating the ancient mining tunnels of the Fengyou Seven Area.

They began to take out secret treasure tools and started crushing the surrounding sand and stone; only after crushing a large amount of sand and stone did they carefully screen for 'Tianqu Stone Essence particles' within.

For Tianqu Stone Essence, True Gods all needed to look carefully to see those incomparably tiny particles.

A team working hard for an epoch, accumulating countless particles gathered together for refining, could generally only refine one or two standard pieces of 'Tianqu Stone Essence'.

"The current mining area produces less and less Tianqu Stone Essence. The higher-ups still blame us for not being diligent enough."

"I think this Tianqu Stone Essence is probably being stolen in advance."

The miners chatted with each other while repeatedly crushing ore and carefully searching for those tiny particles.

At this moment, very close to them.

"Ssh, ssh, ssh~~~" A huge phantom penetrated into countless ores, slowly permeating through them, screening out tiny particles one by one.

The particles screened by the miners each time would be handed over, and the amount each time was not large, not worth plundering at all. So 'it' could only work hard to steal it itself; with its strength, stealing was naturally much faster than these miners.

"Boom!" The miner captain used a secret treasure to blast open a large amount of mountain stone, so the miners could slowly grind and screen it.

Blasting open mountain stone needed to be planned well, otherwise the underground mining tunnels would collapse. This blasting task was also completed by the captain.

"Boom." As a large amount of mountain stone collapsed, a huge phantom was suddenly vaguely seen.

"Not good."

The miner captain was shocked, and the faces of the other miners around him changed drastically.

"Call for help."

"Help." They each called for help through their messaging medallions.

"Countless mining tunnels are densely packed everywhere, and the old guy is forcing me to steal faster; one careless move and I'll be discovered." The huge phantom was quite impatient, and a force exploded directly, sweeping toward this group of miners.

The miners showed expressions of horror, only seeing the phantom spreading over instantly.

"Swish." A man in black appeared out of thin air in front of the miners, ssh, ssh, ssh~~~ the robes on his body turned into countless black liquid flows; these black liquids also naturally drilled into the rock, instantly wrapping and covering that huge phantom.

"You're really bold, actually stealing all this time." Luo Feng looked at the huge phantom that had been covered.

When Luo Feng came to execute the task, the one thing he was most worried about... was that the thief only stole occasionally; if it wasn't in the mining area recently, it would be very difficult for him to complete the task.

However, according to speculation, mining Tianqu Stone Essence was very troublesome and required long-term mining to accumulate a sufficient amount! The probability of him encountering it while it was mining was relatively high.

"A newcomer Master Master Hun Dun Realm?" The huge phantom was shocked.

Whoosh.

Silently, this phantom directly annihilated and disappeared.

"Hmm?" Countless black liquids merged into his robes; Luo Feng frowned slightly. With a single thought, the Galaxy Transformation Technique, which had long since formed a net from heaven and earth, exploded in power in an instant, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

Hum!!!

A huge silver cage completely appeared, its power terrifying, sealing the entire Tianqu Mining Area.

At this moment, waves of energy were scattering and fleeing, wanting to traverse the void, but this area had already been sealed; at the very least, its escape ability could not break through this net from heaven and earth.

"Want to escape?" Luo Feng stood where he was, naturally having countless galaxy threads penetrate the earth, covering that wave of energy.

!.

Previously, it was one billion units of galaxy, sealing the net from heaven and earth.

Now, with no concealment, it was two billion units of galaxy threads, densely packed throughout the interior of the entire net from heaven and earth, leaving the thief with nowhere to escape.

"Break for me." Waves of energy, some hitting the countless silver lights in the high sky, some hitting the countless silver lights in the deep earth.

In contemplating the first tribulation of "Eight-Tribulation Lifeform", Luo Feng's five transformation techniques and life spirituality had all improved, and their power had also increased across the board. Now, with the net from heaven and earth, that phantom simply couldn't escape, tear, or break through.

Ssh, ssh, ssh~~~

Countless silver threads crisscrossed between heaven and earth, wrapping around waves of energy; every time a wave was wrapped, it was directly annihilated.

Finally, only one wave remained.

Luo Feng took a step and appeared in the high sky, looking at the wave wrapped in silver light.

"Spare my life, spare my life." This wave of energy transformed into a gray, furry exotic beast; this beast bowed extremely respectfully, "I have seen this Master Master Hun Dun Great Saint."

Luo Feng looked at this exotic beast.

This exotic beast was a Master Master Hun Dun Realm exotic beast, but exotic beasts that didn't understand the essence of laws were generally much weaker than Master Master Hun Dun Realm cultivators! He estimated... this Master Master Hun Dun Realm exotic beast was only at the ordinary Master Master Hun Dun Realm level; he could seal it with any random stream of silver light.

"You actually dared to steal Tianqu Stone Essence." Luo Feng looked at him.

"Guest Minister Luohe." This furry exotic beast suddenly made a strange sound, "The guy I raised is greedy and ate some Tianqu Stone Essence; please don't blame it."

Luo Feng's expression changed slightly.

"I will have it leave immediately; you can just pretend you didn't catch the thief, how about that?" the strange voice said.

"I was ordered to investigate the thief, and now that I have verified its identity, I naturally must report it," Luo Feng said.

"You insist on being my enemy?" the strange voice said.

Luo Feng also had a headache.

This Master Master Hun Dun Realm exotic beast obviously had an owner, and the owner sent it here to steal! It was also the owner's method, which was why it could avoid the array's detection.

"Empty words, and you want me to give up the task?" Luo Feng looked at the exotic beast. "I can give you face and let you take it away. But its identity, I will definitely report."

"I admire Guest Minister Luohe's courage."

Accompanied by a cold snort.

"No—" the gray furry exotic beast let out a scream and directly annihilated silently.

Luo Feng frowned as he watched this scene.

This Master Master Hun Dun Realm exotic beast was obviously enslaved and controlled; with a single thought, it had already been killed.

"So what if this exotic beast was killed? With the identity of the Master Master Hun Dun Realm exotic beast clarified, the Emperor Di Chu lineage naturally has traces to investigate." Luo Feng waved his hand and collected the items left behind after the Master Master Hun Dun Realm exotic beast died.

"What's going on?" The Tianqu City guardian left the city and had already arrived near the Tianqu Mining Area; he looked from afar at the huge silver cage completely sealing the entire mining area and couldn't help but change color.

The entire silver cage was still being hit from the inside, slightly twisting and flowing.

Soon, the entire silver cage dissipated.

The Tianqu City guardian saw the figure of the man in black in mid-air at a glance.

"Guest Minister Luohe?" The Tianqu City guardian recognized the other party.

"I was ordered to come and investigate the thief." Luo Feng didn't hide it either; after all, since he had publicly taken action earlier, the mining area's array naturally recorded all the detailed circumstances.

Luo Feng said a word, then took a step, traversed the void, and left directly.

Seeing this, the Tianqu City guardian's expression changed slightly.

"It looks like Guest Minister Luohe fought with it," the Tianqu City guardian thought to himself. He had long known that a Master Master Hun Dun Realm exotic beast was stealing, but being able to avoid the mining area's array detection made him realize that the existence behind this exotic beast was very terrifying.

So he just pretended he couldn't find the thief's identity.
