Chapter 3338: Gravity Planet

Lei Ming and the others complained that the local Martial Cultivators were ungrateful and only cared about themselves.

"What are these idiots thinking? Our firepower tanks don't consume energy? Our soldiers never die? We didn't let the Demon Race wipe them out, yet they still don't know gratitude!"

"If they don't give us, we'll take it ourselves. That's still better than the Demon Race coming to plunder and kill, right? Besides, we even left them many Xingqiu!"

"These locals really are ungrateful! Their realms are so low, what right do they have to criticize us! If they have the ability, come fight us for it!"

The local Martial Cultivators can't even stop the Demon Race, let alone be their opponents. In the end, in the entire Zhan Yin Star System, half the Xingqiu were taken, and the remaining half were enough for the survivors.

Ye Liuyun didn't care at all how these people viewed him; after all, he had already obtained all the resources he needed and wouldn't greedily seize everything here. As long as his conscience was clear, that was enough.

His first clone then gathered the organized Demon Race army into the Space World, letting them use the acquired resources to accelerate their strength.

After Ye Liuyun finished taking the Xingqiu, he led the group aboard a Flying Boat to move ahead. On the way he let everyone explore at will, while he returned to the Space World to refine a bit of Divine Core.

He had many recent battles, but they hardly consumed Divine Core, so he went to the Zhan Tai and created some opponents, fighting them with Divine Core.

After the fights, he used his clone's Space World to quickly replenish the spent Divine Core, refining through its consumption and restoration. He and his two clones each time consumed nearly a hundred Primordial Power, and the energy drain was astonishing.

Fortunately their resources are abundant; just now in the Zhan Yin Star System they seized a lot from the royal family. Otherwise, with so many people around him, the consumption would be unsustainable.

Jiang Yuanhai's army also waited until Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan's forces arrived, then continued rushing toward the Sacred Demon Star System, still about five or six days behind Ye Liuyun.

This time the two fleets weren't far apart, also fearing that encountering the Demon Race's million‑strong army would make a dispersed formation hard to handle.

Ye Liuyun focused on cultivation, so no one tended to the Monster Beasts. They hadn't fought much lately; only when gathering Xingqiu in the Zhan Yin Star System did they spar with the local Martial Cultivators. But the locals' realms were low, so the fights weren't satisfying; it was the Tang family disciples who were just practicing.

Thus in the Xingkong, whenever they encountered passing Flying Boats they would provoke them. Even against Martial Cultivators of the Ninth Layer Summit, a few Monster Beasts together could handle them.

That day, in the Xingkong they saw a lone Xingqiu shrouded in mist, so dense that even Lei Ming and the others' Golden Pupil couldn't discern its interior. The Monster Beasts wanted to get closer to see.

Xiao Yunfang reminded them: "In this case, either there's a powerful being on the Xingqiu or there's extreme danger; no one dares to claim it."

But when she mentioned strong beings and danger, the Monster Beasts got even more excited.

The Tang family disciples were also thrilled, feeling that finally they had a chance to explore; otherwise, following Ye Liuyun, their opportunities for adventure were few.

Although they hadn't been short of resources, without facing danger they would find it hard to grow faster.

"Sister Yunfang, don't worry; the little brother doesn't care about us, he just wants us to gain experience. In each of our Space Worlds there are plenty of ferocious beasts, so even if danger comes, we can escape!" Lei Ming explained to Xiao Yunfang.

"It's fine, I'll go with you to take a look. I also have a Virtual Tier Second Rank Kuailei Beast here!" Luo Yu added.

Her realm has now risen to the Ninth Layer Early Stage, and her True Essence is unusually condensed; she also wants to personally undergo some dangerous battles to temper herself.

Xiao Yunfang thought it over and felt that these people were indeed not weak; even if danger arose, they should be able to escape, so she agreed.

The other women's realms had also risen to the Unified Six‑Seven Layers, and they all wanted to go out to try, so no one objected. However, Xiao Yunfang still instructed everyone

to be fully prepared, taking armor and treasures along, just in case.

Just as they were anticipating the post‑landing exploration and slowing the Flying Boat, the boat entered the mist surrounding the Xingqiu.

Suddenly, as if someone were pulling, their Flying Boat was yanked down sharply, plummeting toward the ground at high speed.

The group were thrown by the sudden drop onto the Flying Boat's canopy, some even had their heads cracked.

"Quick, get off the Flying Boat!" Xiao Yunfang immediately shouted to the others.

At that speed, even if the people inside the Flying Boat didn't die from the fall, they'd be killed by the blast shockwave from the boat's impact.

But the Flying Boat was moving too fast; the people were flung by inertia onto the canopy, unable to move.

"Luo Yu, release the Kuailei Beast, tear open the Flying Boat!" Feng Wanru immediately urged Luo Yu.

Luo Yu then released a Virtual Tier Second Grade Kuailei Beast, which gouged a large hole in the Flying Boat's top, then crawled out, enlarging the hole further and freeing everyone.

But after the group got out, they discovered that the reason for the Flying Boat's fall was the Xingqiu's very strong gravity. Even out, their falling speed was only a little slower than the boat's. Yet it was still about the same as their own flight speed, and they kept descending.

Moreover, the Xingqiu's gravity was so great that they couldn't even lift off upward.

"Everyone stay calm, land first and assess the situation, stay alert!" Xiao Yunfang, with command experience, knew they couldn't panic now and could still look after the others.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Flying Boat crashed into the ground and exploded, raising a gust of wind. Fortunately they all used True Essence Body Shield to block it, sustaining little injury.

Then the group landed one after another, with no casualties. Yet the gravity here was so strong that they still needed True Essence Body Shield to protect themselves upon landing.

Lei Ming looked at the shattered Flying Boat fragments on the ground, his heart pounding, and patted his chest, exclaiming, "Luckily we had Luo Yu's Kuailei Beast; otherwise we'd all be trapped!"

The others kept watch around while gazing at the wreckage, reflecting on the recent danger.

Suddenly a Tang family disciple shouted, "We can't fly up, the gravity here is too strong!"

That person had removed his True Essence Body Shield and then felt the gravity's restriction on his body. He leapt with all his might but didn't rise even a foot off the ground.

Others immediately tried as well; except for Zhu Que, Long Nv, and the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, none could control the air. Even those three, though able to, rose no more than three zhang off the ground, which was no different from not controlling the air, and it drained their stamina heavily.

"Spatial Power is restricted here!" Demon Lion tried his Spatial Power and found he couldn't even merge into the void here.
