Chapter 79

Two hundred kilometers from the forest, four hundred streams of light encircled the six people in the middle.

Interpretation: At a position 200 kilometers from the forest, exactly four hundred streams of light surrounded the six people in the middle.

We'll translate: "At a location 200 kilometers from the forest, four hundred streams of light completely surrounded the six people in the middle."

"Hand over the cosmic crystals!" a cold‑hearted youth with purple lips, clad in a silver battle suit and black combat boots, shouted.

Translation: "\"Hand over the Universe Crystal! \" a cold-hearted youth with purple lips, wearing silver battle armor and black combat boots, shouted fiercely."

Xiao Yu transmitted mentally: "Xiao Yi, Luo Feng is ready."

Xiao Yu transmitted mentally: "Xiao Yi, Luo Feng is ready."

Xiao Yu transmitted mentally: "Xiao Yi, Luo Feng is ready."

Thus translation: "Xiao Yu transmitted mentally: \"Xiao Yi, Luo Feng is ready. \""

Xiao Yu expanded the nine‑layer thunder domain surrounding his body, enveloping all four hundred people who had surrounded the six of them, with lightning raging intermittently within the domain.

Translation: "Xiao Yu unfolded the Nine-layer Thunder Domain condensed around his body, enveloping all four hundred people who had surrounded the six of them within the Nine-layer Domain, where lightning raged intermittently."

The four hundred people instantly felt suppressed by a massive aura, as if bearing a mountain on their backs, their speed plummeting and their power reduced to one‑tenth of what it had been.

Translation: "These four hundred people instantly felt suppressed by a tremendous aura, as if carrying a great mountain, their speed greatly reduced and their strength dwindling to less than one-tenth of what it had been."

"Not good, this is a domain master, an experienced domain master," the cold‑hearted youth muttered, attempting to unleash an advanced light‑line domain.

Translation: "\"Oh no, this is a domain expert, or even a senior domain expert. \" the ruthless youth muttered under his breath, attempting to unleash a senior light domain."

Unfortunately, his domain was only a single layer; even when activated it was pressed flat against his skin, and his strength remained greatly diminished.

Translation: "Unfortunately, his domain had only a single layer; even when deployed, it was merely pressed against his skin by the suppression, and his strength was still greatly reduced."

The four hundred people immediately fell into panic; despite their numbers, only two of them possessed domains, and both were merely single‑layer domains.

Translation: "These four hundred people immediately fell into panic; although they were numerous, only two of them possessed a domain, and both were merely single-layer domains."

"Boss, what do we do!" a three‑meter‑tall hulking man beside the cold‑hearted youth shouted.

Translation: "\"Boss, what do we do? \" shouted a three-meter-tall muscular man standing beside the ruthless youth."

"Split and run," the cold‑hearted youth ordered as he fled in haste.

Translation: "\"Scatter and flee. \" the ruthless youth panicked and fled."

Such domain masters are simply beyond anything they can contend with.

Translation: "Such a domain expert was fundamentally beyond their ability to oppose."

Their panic was as if all four hundred of them were being surrounded.

Translation: "These people panicked, as if they themselves were the four hundred being surrounded."

"Xiao Mo, go up," Xiao Yu transmitted mentally to Mo Cloud Vine.

Translation: "\"Little Mo, go up. \" Xiao Yu transmitted mentally to the Mo Yun Vine."

Within the domain, Xiao Yu need not hide; only a few stellar‑rank individuals can see through the nine‑layer domain.

Translation: "Within the domain, Xiao Yu needed no concealment; few Stellar-level beings could see through the situation inside the Nine-layer Domain."

Mo Cloud Vine emerged from Xiao Yu, its 72 main vines shooting out like 72 spears, directly impaling the surrounding stellar‑rank warriors and psychics.

Translation: "The Mo Yun Vine emerged from Xiao Yu's body, its seventy-two main roots like seventy-two spears, thrusting straight at the surrounding Stellar-level warriors and Spiritual Mind Masters."

Round after round, each strike pierced the heads of at least 72 stellar‑rank opponents.

Translation: "Round after round, each strike pierced at least seventy-two Stellar-level heads."

At the same time, Xiao Yi also used telekinesis to wield the red‑copper alloy fragments loaned by Luo Feng, sweeping over one stellar‑rank head after another.

Translation: "At the same time, Xiao Yi used telekinesis to control the crimson-hum copper mother fragments lent by Luo Feng, sweeping past one Stellar-level head after another."

Even Hong, a fourth‑tier stellar‑rank, activated a four‑layer light‑line domain, instantly appearing before a sluggish ninth‑tier stellar warrior; a three‑tier force spear pierced the ninth‑tier's head, then retracted, drawing out a stream of red‑white liquid.

Translation: "Even Hong, a Stellar-level Fourth Tier, deployed a four-layer light domain, instantly appearing before a sluggish Stellar-level Ninth Tier warrior; his third-tier primal-force battle spear pierced the warrior's Ninth Tier head, then withdrew, trailing a strand of reddish-white liquid."

"So exhilarating!" Hong exclaimed.

Translation: "\"So exhilarating! \" Hong exclaimed."

Beyond the domain that spanned several thousand meters, a disheveled figure emerged—it was the group's leader, the purple‑lipped man.

Translation: "Outside the domain spanning several kilometers, a disheveled figure burst out—none other than the purple-lipped man who was the leader of this group."

"Finally, I'm out."

Translation: "\"Finally, I've escaped. \""

Before the words finished, a deep‑red, slender tentacle pierced his skull, pinning him to the ground as brain matter and blood splattered everywhere.

Translation: "Before his words faded, a deep crimson slender tentacle pierced his skull, pinning him to the ground as brain matter and blood spattered."

"Ha ha, Xiao Yu, your domain is truly powerful," Hong said.

Translation: "\"Haha, Xiao Yu, your domain is indeed strong. \" Hong arrived."

Although Xiao Yu's domain targeted only external foes and not his own squad, Hong could still feel the invisible suppressive force.

Translation: "Although Xiao Yu's domain targeted only external foes, not his own teammates, Hong could still sense that invisible suppressive force."

"Having a cosmic‑grade Mo Cloud Vine is truly exhilarating! It's practically a slaughter weapon," Lei Shen praised.

Translation: "\"With this Universe-level Mo Yun Vine, it's simply exhilarating—truly a slaughter weapon. \" Lei Shen exclaimed."

"Time to clean up the spoils," Xiao Yu said, looking at the four hundred corpses scattered around.

Translation: "\"Time to collect the spoils. \" Xiao Yu gazed at the four hundred corpses scattered around."

The ambushes they encountered along the way were almost all turned into counter‑kills using this method.

Translation: "The ambushes they encountered along the way were basically all turned around and killed in this manner."

"Check how many cosmic crystals there are," Lei Shen ordered.

Translation: "\"Let's check how many Universe Crystals we have. \" Lei Shen said."

Xiao Yu smiled as he removed the spatial ring from the purple‑lipped leader's hand; the others were also gathering every piece of loot—weapons, battle suits, auxiliary light brains, intelligent light brains, spatial rings—nothing left behind.

Translation: "Xiao Yu smiled as he took the Space Ring from the purple-lipped leader's hand, while the others gathered all sorts of spoils—weapons, battle attire, auxiliary light brains, smart light brains, Space Rings, leaving nothing behind."

They alone captured twenty spatial rings.

Translation: "Just the Space Rings alone amounted to twenty seized."

"Hmm, that's quite a lot. This 400‑person squad is surprisingly wealthy; just the leader's spatial ring contains 2.3 million units of cosmic crystals. I wonder how many people they robbed," Xiao Yu sighed.

Translation: "\"Hey, that's quite a lot; this four-hundred-person squad is truly wealthy—just the leader's Space Ring alone holds 2.3 million cubic units of Universe Crystals, who knows how many people they've robbed. \" Xiao Yu sighed."

"I have 170,000 units of cosmic crystals here, plus some other items," Luo Feng said.

Translation: "\"I also have 170,000 cubic units of Universe Crystals, plus some other items. \" Luo Feng said."

"This spatial ring holds 80,000 units of cosmic crystals."

Translation: "\"This Space Ring contains 80,000 cubic units of Universe Crystals. \""

……

Translation: "……" (ellipsis stays as is)

After reporting the haul,

Translation: "After reporting the seized goods."

Hong, Lei Sheng, Xiao Yu, and Luo Feng all felt genuine happiness.

Translation: "Hong, Lei Shen, Xiao Yu, and Luo Feng all felt genuine joy from the heart."

"What a massive haul of cosmic crystals! This single capture yielded 3.46 million units, matching the total we had gathered before," Hong praised.

Translation: "\"Indeed, obtaining Universe Crystals from a major heist is fast—this seizure alone yielded 3.46 million cubic units, matching our previous total. \" Hong exclaimed."

"Their numbers make them a sizable force—400 members—so even in this core zone they're not a minor faction. Whether mining or raiding, their yields are bound to be substantial," Xiao Yu said.

Translation: "\"It's because their team is large—a 400-person squad; even here in the Core Area, they're not a minor force, so whether mining or looting, their gains are certainly substantial. \" Xiao Yu said."

"Counter‑killing a team like this yields even higher returns!" Lei Shen snapped his fingers and muttered, "In the previous eight days we mined 2.12 million units, picked up another 320,000 units on the way to the core zone, gained 650,000 units from a raid counter‑kill, and this time we secured another 3.46 million units. Altogether we've amassed 6.55 million units of cosmic crystals. Ha ha..."

Translation: "\"Still, raiding such a team yields high returns! \" Lei Shen ticked off his fingers, muttering, \"In the past eight days we mined 2.12 million cubic units, then on the way to the Core Area we mined another 320,000, encountered a robbery and counter-kill gaining 650,000, and now this time we gained another 3.46 million. Wow, we've altogether obtained 6.55 million cubic units of Universe Crystals. Haha...... \""

That's 6.55 billion cosmic currency; even with Lei Shen contributing little, he could still pocket hundreds of millions—far exceeding his current assets by several times, and the journey through the inter‑realm is far from over.

Translation: "That's 6.55 billion Cosmic Coins; even if Lei Shen contributed little, he could still receive hundreds of millions of Cosmic Coins—no small sum, exceeding his current assets by several times, especially since this Inter-Realm journey hasn't ended yet."

"Second brother, do you still think you're the headmaster of the Thunder Martial Hall? To me, you're just a petty trader counting how much you earn each day," Xiao Yu teased.

Translation: "\"Second Brother, look at you—do you still resemble the chief of the Thunder Martial Hall? I see you as just a petty trader, counting how much you earn in a day. \" Xiao Yu teased."

"I'm just proud, so what?" Lei Shen blinked, rubbing his bald head.

Translation: "\"I'm just pleased, what's wrong? \" Lei Shen blinked his eyes and rubbed his bald head."

"The inter‑realm truly is a massive treasure," Hong couldn't help but exclaim.

Translation: "\"The Inter-Realm truly is a great treasure trove. \" Hong also couldn't help but sigh."

"Big brother, second brother, look how composed Luo Feng is," Xiao Yu said, watching the utterly calm Luo Feng beside him.

Translation: "\"Elder Brother, Second Brother, look at how composed Luo Feng is. \" Xiao Yu said, gazing at the utterly calm Luo Feng beside him."

Hong and Lei Shen both turned their gaze toward Luo Feng.

Translation: "Hong and Lei Shen both turned their gazes toward Luo Feng."

"Don't think I'm not happy, but I was already stunned by Third Brother earlier; even this 6.55 billion cosmic currency is less than one percent of the three of our fortunes," Luo Feng said.

Translation: "\"Don't look at me; I'm also happy, but I was already shocked by Third Brother earlier—these amount to only 6.55 billion Cosmic Coins, less than one percent of three fortunes. \" Luo Feng said."

Xiao Yu had previously transferred light to Luo Hua, giving him 20 trillion cosmic currency; yesterday Luo Hua approached him about a matter and mentioned it, and now it has grown to 80 trillion, a four‑fold increase.

Translation: "Xiao Yu had previously transferred to Luo Hua alone 20 trillion Cosmic Coins; yesterday when Luo Hua came to him with a matter, he mentioned it in passing, and now it has become 80 trillion Cosmic Coins—exactly four times as much."

Luo Hua, assisting Xiao Yu with the operation, earns a twenty‑percent commission—1.2 trillion cosmic currency.

Translation: "While Luo Hua assisted Xiao Yu in operations, he could earn a twenty-percent handling fee, amounting to 12 trillion Cosmic Coins."

Whenever he thought of that, his joy waned.

Translation: "Whenever he thought of this, he wasn't as happy."

"Alright, the biggest treasure of the inter‑realm is still ahead. What we've gotten so far is just a drop in the bucket," Xiao Yu smiled.

Translation: "\"Alright, the greatest treasure of the Inter-Realm still lies ahead. What we've obtained so far is less than a hair on nine oxen. \" Xiao Yu smiled."

Xiao Yu brandished his crescent‑shaped battle blade and shouted, "Let's go!"

Translation: "Xiao Yu waved the crescent battle blade in his hand, \"Let's set out! \""

Like a great general.

Translation: "Like a great general."

"Third brother, your stance has real presence."

Translation: "\"Third Brother, your posture has presence. \""

"Ha ha..."

Translation: "\"Haha...... \""

The group, in high spirits, laughed and joked for a while before quietly continuing toward the core area.

Translation: "The group was in high spirits, laughing and joking for a while, then continued onward silently toward the Core Area."

When night fell, Xiao Yu and his party finally reached the core zone, and by then their wealth had risen to over 6.89 million units of cosmic crystals.

Translation: "When night fell, Xiao Yu and his companions finally reached the Core Area, at which point their wealth had risen to over 6.89 million cubic units of Universe Crystals."

The core of the inter‑realm is a beautiful plain, its surface covered with strange low‑lying flora about ten centimeters tall, perfectly even as if trimmed by hand.

Translation: "The Core Area of the Inter-Realm is a beautiful plain, the ground covered with strange low-growing flora, each about ten centimeters tall, extremely level, as if someone had trimmed them."

The terrain is gently rolling with very little variation.

Translation: "The terrain is gentle, with very slight undulations."

Within a few hundred meters around, more than forty corpses lay—both male and female, some resembling beast‑people, others looking like ordinary humans.

Translation: "Within a radius of several hundred meters, more than forty corpses lay—male and female, some resembling beasts, others resembling humans from Earth."

Core Area, competition is fierce.

Xiao Yu and six others stepped over corpses, arriving at the top of a slightly protruding hill, gazing into the distance. In the far distance, a faint glow could be seen, and there were also many silhouettes.

Xiao Yu and the others took out binoculars; these were all items they had previously seized, and before entering, the six of them had not purchased such equipment.

Through the binoculars, they discovered that over 600 kilometers ahead, nearly a thousand people had gathered.

Some sounds came over, but they were indistinct; Xiao Yu and the others continued forward another hundred kilometers before they could make out what was being said.

"The treasure of the Inter-Realm is destined to be obtained by us of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region."

"All major organizations had long ago agreed that if one is not an adventurer of the Two Great Holy Lands, the Four Major Organizations, or the Sixteen Great Families, then upon leaving the Thunder World, they will be immediately arrested."
