Chapter 735: The Small World of the Lei Lang Tribe

Amidst the surging waves of the great sea, hundreds of Dao soldiers rode the wind and broke the waves, charging into a strange world. They soon reached the coast, where they left the water to land.

The shore was littered with abandoned, unfinished stone boats, and scattered warriors wandered about. However, their main force had already been completely annihilated in the Human World of Renjian Yanhuo, and those remaining were only the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

Wei Yuan charged directly onto the shore, his magic blade sweeping horizontally. An invisible killing intent flashed past, and within a hundred zhang, all life was instantly extinguished. Dozens of Mane-Hair tribesmen fell directly to the ground without a single wound on their bodies.

Only now did the magic blade begin to show its might; just moments ago, it had been suppressed the entire time. Even when clashing with the long and short twin blades, Wei Yuan could hear its painful groans, though Wei Yuan had sealed its mouth to prevent it from speaking.

A pang of heartache flashed through Wei Yuan's heart. Those two blades were likely the most precious treasures on Silver Blade's person—undoubtedly immortal blades, no worse than the magic blade July. It was just a pity that under the secret technique, they too had all their immortal power extracted, turning into scrap metal and flying sand.

Time was of the essence. Wei Yuan ordered his men to capture a few living captives for interrogation, while he himself soared into the sky, scanning the environment of this world.

The terrain of this world was undulating and uneven. Wei Yuan released his spiritual sense, covering over five hundred li, yet he still could not find the end. Everywhere here were sinister, precipitous peaks thousands of zhang high, like blades pointing straight at the firmament.

Looking into the distance, Wei Yuan saw a city amidst the mountains. The city was of considerable scale, filled with tall buildings and appearing very crowded. At this moment, many Mane-Hair tribesmen could still be seen running back and forth in panic. The city gates were already closed, and many warriors stood upon the walls, but they were of uneven height, and most moved sluggishly, looking old and decrepit.

Time was pressing, and Wei Yuan was in no mood to attack the city again. He directly dispatched dozens of Dao soldiers; half manifested the scene of Silver Blade and Lei Ling's death in the sky, while the other half shouted in unison: "All your leaders have been killed in battle! Now, this world belongs to Lord Wei Yuan, who slew Silver Blade! Hand over all your treasures immediately and you may keep your lives; otherwise, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire will descend from heaven, and not one will be left!"

Without waiting for an answer, Wei Yuan summoned a small patch of karmic fire, igniting dozens of warriors on the city walls. These warriors fell to the ground, howling in agony as their souls were burned away, yet their bodies remained completely unscathed.

Such ruthless means instantly intimidated the entire city. Under Wei Yuan's stern reprimand, the remaining Lei Lang tribe members in the city finally opened the gates and surrendered. Subsequently, Wei Yuan dispatched a Dragon Guard to descend into the City Lord's Mansion to begin seizing and counting the treasures. At the same time, Wei Yuan released several waves of Five Elements Dao soldiers, totaling over a thousand, to run rampant through the city and scrape the land bare.

Wei Yuan's true body had already left the city to search for the next target.

At this moment, his heart stirred. He saw a small black dot appear on the skyline at the entrance to the world, flying toward him at an incredible speed. It turned out to be Yu Zhizhuo.

Yu Zhizhuo was not skilled at fighting in the Human World of Renjian Yanhuo, so Wei Yuan had not called for him. But now that he needed to loot the small world, Wei Yuan summoned him immediately; after all, when it came to prospecting for mineral veins, ten Wei Yuans combined could not compare to one Yu Zhizhuo.

Yu Zhizhuo also knew that time was of the essence. After rendezvousing with Wei Yuan, he said, "This world is extremely strange; it actually lacks even a shred of vitality. There is neither vegetation nor spirit beasts here. I truly don't know how this Lei Lang tribe survived..."

At this moment, Wei Yuan was simultaneously interrogating dozens of tribesmen and had already learned quite a bit. He said, "By plundering outer worlds through conquest, and by the Immortal Venerable's handouts."

Yu Zhizhuo's pupils constricted. "What a ruthless method! This world is dead. Don't count on the origin, heaven and earth spiritual energy, or spiritual power, but mineral deposits are eternal. I will go search for mineral veins immediately. Give me two silver nails; once I find them, I will plant the nails, and you can come dig a hoe's worth before the time limit expires."

"Excellent!" Wei Yuan did not dally. He gave Yu Zhizhuo two silver nails, and then the two chose separate directions to explore and fly. At this time, the surviving mortals also entered this world one after another, dispersing to search at full speed.

That city was the Lei Lang tribe's main settlement, where most of the tribesmen lived. Silver Blade, Lei Ling, and Nu Lei had all been in this city previously, and they shared a residence.

The most valuable items found in the City Lord's Mansion were the spare armor and military weapons of the three leaders, as well as the spoils of war collected over the years. A small portion of the armor and weapons were spirit treasures, more than half were supreme-rank magic treasures, and the rest were magic treasures with special functions. In total, there were over a hundred pieces, and over a dozen spirit treasures.

In Lei Ling's residence, they also found a short blade that was actually a failed immortal weapon!

The greatest treasure offered by the tribal elders, however, was a bronze goblet. When tilted, it could pour out a gurgling stream of water, filling a vat in a moment. This water was the only source of water in the entire world; otherwise, they had to snatch water during conquests in outer worlds.

This object's function was to create something from nothing, and it could produce water in an environment where the world's origin was exhausted and the path ahead was cut off. To the Lei Lang tribe, it was naturally a supreme treasure, but to Wei Yuan, it was completely useless.

The Human World of Renjian Yanhuo had vast, surging waters. Wei Yuan was currently exploring while urging the seawater to pour into this world, hoping to use the power of the Human World of Renjian Yanhuo to crack this world open. For one, Wei Yuan still harbored a glimmer of hope, wanting to see if any origin or the like remained; after all, in the first small world, Wei Yuan had eaten two mouthfuls, which directly saved him a hundred years of bitter effort.

Wei Yuan was so busy his head was smoking, and then these tribesmen offered a bronze cup that could produce water? Wei Yuan was so enraged he was prepared to drop a few more Red Lotus Karmic Fires.

He had a mind to burn the city, but there was actually nothing in this city that could produce fire.

Wei Yuan urged the warrior Dao soldiers to speed up the interrogation progress, killing those who refused to open their mouths, while he himself flew toward the depths of the mountains. At this moment, two fluctuations came from Yu Zhizhuo's side; he had already planted both silver nails.

Wei Yuan's spirit lifted; there was finally some good news. The mines Yu Zhizhuo could take a fancy to certainly wouldn't be bad. It was just unclear if a hundred-li radius was enough to cover the entire mineral vein.

But for the first half-hour, Wei Yuan was incredibly excited, filled with the tension and anticipation of exploring a treasure mountain, just like facing one treasure chest after another, not knowing which to open first or what could be opened. However, after half an hour, facing the unchanging scenery and the dead, lifeless world, Wei Yuan was already somewhat exhausted.

This world was quite vast, but it was unknown how long it had been dead; it was incredibly barren. However, Wei Yuan thought that at least he had harvested a failed immortal weapon and several spirit treasures, so he finally perked up a little.

But the value of these things was actually not as good as the two mouthfuls of origin energy Wei Yuan had eaten in the first small world.

As he flew, Wei Yuan suddenly saw a different area ahead. This was a valley, half-hidden amidst the mountains, with mist permeating and surging like a pulse. Curious, he flew over and landed directly in the center of the valley.

In any case, this world was dead, and it was impossible for there to be living creatures or spiritual plants, so Wei Yuan wanted to see if there was anything special here.

But the moment he landed, Wei Yuan suddenly felt a sense of hair-raising horror!

At this moment, Wei Yuan received a message from a Dao soldier in his consciousness: under severe torture and threats to their families' lives, the oldest tribal elder finally confessed that a powerful demon beast was hidden in the depths of this world, one that even Silver Blade was unwilling to provoke!

Wei Yuan suddenly looked up through the heavy mist and saw the wind and clouds swirling in the sky, with two emerald-green suns lighting up in the center! What kind of suns were these? They were clearly the two eyes of some demon beast!

Just looking at its size, he knew this was absolutely a Dharma Form demon beast!

At this very moment, Wei Yuan no longer had the energy to curse. Even if this information had been asked a few minutes earlier, he wouldn't have crashed headlong into the demon beast's lair.

At this moment, Wei Yuan's entire body tightened, and invisible chains bound him firmly in place. It turned out that, unknowingly, he had already been locked onto by this demon beast.

At the critical moment of life and death, Wei Yuan made a prompt decision, took out a silver nail and nailed it to the ground, then swung his jade hoe and dug!

In the blink of an eye, Wei Yuan stood above a void, and the valley and that demon beast had already been sent into the Human World of Renjian Yanhuo. Only then did Wei Yuan break out in a cold sweat.
