To withstand Ta Ke's powerful forbidden chant strike, this upper master Chao Shen Da Shi was forced to use a life-saving measure.

To withstand Ta Ke's powerful forbidden chant strike, this upper master Chao Shen Da Shi was forced to use a life-saving measure.

Being forced by a lower-ranked wizard, and moreover by a lower-ranked wizard's projection, to reveal his bottom-of-the-box tricks, the upper master-level wizard's distress can be imagined.

All kinds of strong ones began to emerge.

"All kinds of strong ones began to emerge." We'll output: "All kinds of strong ones began to emerge."

After many strong ones emerged, the first thing they naturally did was seek out those 'chaotic ecology small worlds' and then try to open them using various methods they had prepared.

We'll output: "The first thing numerous strong ones did upon emerging was naturally to seek out those 'Chaos Ecology Small Worlds' and then try to open them with various prepared methods."

"During these three months." We'll output: "During these three months."

Ta Ke's projection has already been blown up for the fifth time.

The first time.

Ta Ke went to the location of the two Mo Lei·Shen Ting members to conduct reconnaissance.

If those two tried and failed, leaving on their own, Ta Ke could simply pick up a small world for free.

Ta Ke used to not be accustomed to others.

And this time, the Mo Lei·Shen Ting dark duo also did not accommodate Ta Ke.

Seeing Ta Ke directly use a forbidden spell to jump over.

The two immediately attacked.

Ta Ke's projection was merely a projection, lacking the powerful master state of his own Star Physique.

Ta Ke's Mirage Light Projection turned out crisp!

Furthermore, this projection could not maximize Ta Ke's talent traits.

Ta Ke resisted a little, then was blown up by those two over-190-level guys.

Ta Ke thus remembered the grudge of this dark duo.

The second time, Ta Ke's projection mistakenly entered the territory of what he thought was a legendary powerhouse.

The legendary powerhouse unleashed a descending-from-heaven palm technique.

Ta Ke's projection died on the spot.

The third time, Ta Ke wanted to seize a guy's treasure site.

As it turned out, that guy not only had overwhelming strength, but also had his teammate lying in ambush nearby.

Ta Ke's projection simply couldn't beat those two.

As for the fourth time.

Ta Ke found a relatively concealed small chaos-ecology world at the bottom of a canyon.

Ta Ke had even begun constructing an altar, carrying out an ecological cycle.

He was discovered by a mysterious upper-level Chao Shen Da Shi swordsman wearing blue feathered armor.

One sword!

Ta Ke's projection was gone.

Ta Ke's projection only saw a wisp of brilliant blue sword light before its demise.

199th-level quasi-legendary powerhouse—that was Ta Ke's judgment.

An existence of that level is fundamentally not something Ta Ke can currently oppose.

After all, a powerhouse of that level has already formed a legendary sequence seed.

Nor could it be compared to those cultivators who, like Omar, barely manage to borrow a treasure and barely wield legendary power.

As for the small steam altar Ta Ke left there,

No great harm.

Ta Ke actually hoped that the quasi-legendary swordsman would leave his small steam altar there.

Once the origin cycle of the steam ecology is completed,

Ta Ke can directly jump over from afar.

But that swordsman lacks Ta Ke's special means of actively responding to the origin.

And that earlier self-detonation.

It was the result of Ta Ke's struggle with someone over the chaos-ecology small world, a lose-lose outcome.

Ta Ke's projection self-detonated.

And that person was also forced by Ta Ke to use a treasure.

Furthermore, because Ta Ke released the immense power of the forbidden spell Star Burst,

That place will inevitably attract powerhouses to investigate.

In other words, that upper-level master sorcerer also likely cannot hold onto that chaos-ecology small world.

Aside from these cases of projection deaths.

During these months of exploration.

Among them were not a few instances where Ta Ke was chased and driven away by other powerhouses.

Ta Ke even encountered several projections of other sorcerers.

Some guys wanted to test Ta Ke's projection strength.

Basically, Ta Ke sent them all back.

Even if they can't beat those powerhouses, dealing with your Chao Shen Da Shi projections is still easy.

While recovering from his injuries, Ta Ke pondered deeply.

"As the forbidden black wind dissipates, the number of powerhouses grows."

"Given my current strength, if we really fought, I wouldn't be weaker than those upper-level Chao Shen Da Shi."

"But the problem is, the strength of upper-level masters is not enough here."

"Moreover, many powerhouses hold multiple chaos heavy treasures; fighting an upper-level Chao Shen Da Shi is like beating a son."

"Fortunately, I have projection means, and I early on found this medium-sized chaos-ecology small world to use as a safe base."

"Otherwise, what we'd worry about now wouldn't be the problem of not finding treasure, but……our own safety."

In his thoughts, Ta Ke gradually gathered his spirit.

"No matter what, my current strength to gather treasures is still somewhat lacking."

"I definitely cannot contend with those powerhouses."

"And there's no need to expose my means."

Well...

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly as he exhaled lightly!

We can only wait.

One side cultivates, the other explores the outer region's corner scraps.

Finding treasures is certainly good.

Not finding treasures doesn't hinder my cultivation.

Meanwhile, quietly wait for this batch of strong ones to finish their search, then wait for them to leave!

After all, the number of these Chaos Ecological Small Worlds that can be opened over the ages is not many.

The places to obtain more treasures are those hidden areas.

For example, the Undead Bone Ground Corridor that opens only once every one or two years.

For example, the Dead Star Dungeon in the core area.

And some hidden quiet places, etc.

As an ordinary outer region, the Death Howl Canyon is not a major treasure-producing area.

For now, the exploration of this E Ti Ya·Ancient God Dead Land has just begun; the main forces trapped in this area are starting to exert themselves, so I must avoid them.

After they leave in a wave or two, I'll then go to those marked points to try exploring.

During the whole treasure land exploration process, I can just sneak behind them and enjoy the good life!

In places where legends and demigods appear, staying steady is definitely correct.

After drafting a general exploration strategy.

Ta Ke then avoided the central area of the Death Howl Canyon where Chaos Ecological Small Worlds are more numerous.

He turned his head toward the edge to conduct exploration.

Meanwhile, exploration became a supplementary option.

Ta Ke's main focus was placed on cultivation.

Chaos Cosmic Star-Phase Body, Chaos Rune Supreme Technique.

These all require spending a lot of time cultivating.

In Ta Ke's cultivation.

Time flew by day by day.

At the point when Ta Ke had been in secluded cultivation for about half a year.

【Ancient God's Lament】 arrived.

Even if Ta Ke hid within the Chaos Ecological Small World.

When 【Ancient God's Lament】 erupted.

Ta Ke directly felt the sensation of soul and body separating.

A storm of sequence pressure from higher dimensions howled forth, making Ta Ke's Master Sequence Tree feel as if it were being uprooted.

And Ta Ke's Master State was even subjected to extreme boiling.

Fortunately, Ta Ke's Master State is inherently a fiery condition, so it doesn't fear external shock resonance.

But the disorder of the Master Sequence Tree made Ta Ke feel quite uncomfortable.

Transcendent consciousness also has a feeling of being stripped away.

No wonder ordinary transcendent beings don't even have the qualification to enter this treasure land.

When 【Ancient God's Lament】 erupts.

Ordinary Transcendent Masters who dare to stay here will end up having their Sequence Trees pulled out, dying on the spot.

The weak have no qualification to set foot on this land.

With the eruption of 【Ancient God's Lament】.

The entire Death Howl Canyon revealed its most essential characteristic—Death Paradise!

Above the firmament, countless soul-system undead creatures fill the sky.

On the ground, vast tracts of undead wasteland were overturned, with ranks of skeleton soldiers, zombies, liches, bone dragons, bone snakes, and various other undead creatures Ta Ke couldn't name, surging like a flood to quickly inundate the entire canyon world.

The whole world was a gray haze; everywhere one looked were undead.

When garrisoning the Chaos Ecological Small World.

Ta Ke had this doubt: if 【Ancient God's Lament】 erupts.

Will the lament's sound penetrate this ecological small world?

Will the awakened undead surge in?

The answer to the former is affirmative.

The power of 【Ancient God's Lament】 will directly seep into the Chaos Ecological Small World.

The latter is negative.

Those undead.

Even if their numbers are astounding, they cannot enter the Chaos Ecological Small World at all.

This naturally put Ta Ke greatly at ease.

The rampage of the Forbidden Black Wind, as well as the undead awakening from 【Ancient God's Lament】, basically pose no threat to Ta Ke inside the Chaos Ecological Small World.

The scrutiny of the Heavenly Canopy Giant Eye basically will not descend upon Death Howl Canyon.

It can be said that the ecological small world of Death Howl Canyon is a fairly safe stronghold.

Since it is a safe stronghold.

Then Ta Ke won't hold back.

The undead calamity erupted.

When other Chao Shen Da Shi tried every means to avoid those undead.

Taku directly projected out and began a massive slaughter!

The method of slaughter was simply releasing divine fire.

These undead are not low-level; there are plenty of high-ranking undead, and master-level undead liches are quite numerous.

But under Taku's flames, these undead completely became Taku's "experience treasures".

One canyon after another was set ablaze by Taku.

Moreover, Taku also released the flame demon Hetala, letting it help with the arson.

Taku's "Indestructible Flame Heart" with up to 34000 fragments highlights an "Indestructible".

Ordinary Chao Shen Da Shi cannot extinguish Taku's flames, let alone the undead beneath those Chao Shen Da Shi.

In the undead calamity, it's not only Taku who kills these undead.

Heaven and earth, basically everywhere there are battle situations.

And Taku merely released fire on a somewhat larger scale.

As for saying these flames are too fierce, even the problem of the flame scale continuously expanding is the flame's own issue, and it has nothing to do with me, Taku, naturally.

This continuously spreading blaze.

By the third month, when the undead were about to dissipate, the scale had already become quite huge.

The areas ignited by Taku's projected arson numbered in the hundreds.

Basically, throughout the Death Howl Canyon, everywhere there were fires released by Taku.

And the benefit of doing this is also quite obvious.

During the three months when the undead raged and enjoyed extreme barbecue.

Taku's source energy experience actually settled down by 3 levels.

That is to say, if Taku breaks through, he can now directly upgrade to level 143.

This effect even left Taku himself somewhat astonished.

Within this chaotic death ecology, the undead creatures, after death, seem to yield Taku an especially large amount of source energy experience.

Faintly!

Taku also discovered a way to open this "Chaos Treasure" that is unique to him—a "treasure" opening method.

Setting fires to upgrade yields astonishing effects.

Only Taku's formidable divine fire can do this; others truly cannot set fires like Taku.

With the 【Ancient God's Wail】 guiding it, the undead calamity ends.

The entire 【Death Howl Canyon】 returned to the previous situation of vying for position in the chaotic ecology small world.

Having seized the small world and attempted to open it, one may not necessarily succeed in obtaining the treasure inside.

But, if one fails to even seize the position.

That means there is absolutely no way to obtain the treasure inside.

Thus, more than a year of time swiftly passed again.

Finally!

At some inconspicuous moment.

Taku's projection passed through an underground labyrinth, waded through a long underground undead river, and searched long in the winding area of an underground fissure valley.

Finally, in this barren wasteland, he found the second extremely concealed "Chaos Ecology Small World".

Although it is merely a small-sized Chaos Ecology Small World.

But facing the second impending Chaos Heavy Treasure, Taku cannot help but feel a hint of anticipation!

Faintly, Taku sensed.

His perhaps the item for advancing to mid-rank Chao Shen Da Shi might be inside!
