Chapter 381: Special Crystals!



Chapter 381: Special Crystals!



The annihilation of Great Sun Sect’s experts immediately alerted the Dark Nation’s army.


A massive force set out at once, heading to the site of the incident.


At first the Dark Nation hadn’t paid much attention to the God Realm Sea clusters, but as more and more seas were discovered, they gradually realized the severity of the situation.


The newly discovered God Realms numbered shockingly into the trillions, and that number kept increasing as exploration continued!


This completely alarmed the Dark Nation’s leadership, prompting them to send ever more cultivators and troops to seize territory.


They encountered people from other nations during their explorations, but with so many God Realms appearing, everyone was essentially racing to stake claims, and the nations tacitly avoided open warfare.


But now, one power had suddenly been wiped out, instantly drawing the Dark Nation’s top brass’ attention, and they immediately dispatched a national army to investigate.


An army of a million cultivators sped through the chaos.


The army’s commander was a Near King-level powerhouse named Li Fugui. Under his command were forty Continent-City Level generals and two hundred City-Destroying Level deputy generals, and there were also five thousand practitioners at the Wuji Realm.

It was an elite military force.

Commander Li Fugui frowned as he examined the intelligence relayed from below.


“The Great Sun Sect’s sect leader at the peak of Continent-City Level lost contact only a quarter-hour after leaving. The attacker must be at least Near King-level!”


He worried that the opponent’s strength was too great, but by the time he arrived the attacker would likely already have long since left;he only needed to search for clues.


Still, he was extremely cautious. He ordered the troops into their most powerful formation, linking their qi so that all the soldiers’ strength was unified and amplified tenfold, making his combat power ten times greater than when alone. Such was the power of a legion.


After traveling through the chaos for a thousand years, he finally led his force to the crime scene.


And then he froze.


At the edge of that God Realm sea, a continent hovered there. Its buildings had turned to ruins, but many living beings still drifted among the wreckage.


As the army approached, he immediately recognized a familiar face.


The Great Sun Sect sect leader!


He was still alive?


As he stared in disbelief, the Great Sun Sect sect leader also looked up.


Li Fugui then saw two single horns on the sect leader’s forehead and a strange deep-red glow in his pupils. His mouth hung open, revealing crooked, ferocious teeth. He no longer looked human.


Not only the sect leader—every cultivator stationed there had already transformed into that same monstrous form.


At the same time, Li Fugui discovered that the nearby area had been altered into an Abyss territory covered by the Abyss Rule.


“A cultivator practicing the Abyss Rule slaughtering people?”


“Where’s the owner of the rule?”


Li Fugui searched around but could not detect the master of the Abyss Rule.


“Kill!”


Li Fugui waved and ordered it.


“Kill!”


Under Li Fugui’s command, the army attacked the Great Sun Sect’s settlement.


One attack after another ravaged the settlement. In the blink of an eye, the demonized cultivators were all slain!


Even the Great Sun Sect sect leader was cut to dust by Li Fugui’s ruthless sword light.


The demonized sect leader’s strength had neared Near King-level, but that power was like a child’s against Li Fugui;he was easily killed.


Just as Li Fugui prepared to lead his troops away, he suddenly noticed something strange.


After the demonized cultivators were slain, their demonic qi converged toward a single point and condensed into pure white crystals. Li Fugui stared, stunned.


With the appearance of the first white crystal, other slain cultivators likewise formed white crystals, and the white crystal formed from the Great Sun Sect sect leader’s demonic qi was even larger!


“What is this?”


Li Fugui frowned and ordered one squad to investigate.


A five-man squad approached the continent nervously and gathered the white stones together with a gesture.


One cultivator carefully probed with Holy Sense and immediately sensed that the crystals contained extremely pure energy.


“Commander, these crystals seem to be energy condensates, similar to Chaos Crystals!” the squad leader reported to Li Fugui.


“Absorb one and see!”


Li Fugui ordered bluntly.


The squad leader’s face tightened, but he obeyed and absorbed one.


The white crystal visibly shrank, and the squad leader’s aura slowly rose.


When the white crystal was fully absorbed, there were no obvious abnormalities on the squad leader, but his cultivation soared by a large amount from the late Taiji stage, and he was no longer far from the peak!


The crystal’s effect could save him two kalpas’ worth of painstaking cultivation!


The squad leader cheered, “Commander, this is a treasure for boosting cultivation. It raised me by two kalpas.”


Li Fugui’s eyes narrowed. The squad leader had absorbed a white crystal that appeared to come from a Taiji Realm peak cultivator.


He inspected the other crystals and found dozens from Wuji Realm practitioners, and especially the Great Sun Sect sect leader’s crystal, which seemed to come from a Continent-City Level.


Li Fugui beckoned and took the squad leader into his hand for examination, probing him inside and out. There was no abnormality;in fact, he sensed that the squad leader’s soul cultivation had also increased!


Could this thing really be all benefit?


He turned to his closest subordinate.


“Li Paor, absorb this crystal!”


The general called Li Paor widened his eyes. “Boss, you’re going to use this without studying whether it’s good or bad?”


Li Fugui cursed over the transmission, “You idiot, if this is truly a good thing, after I collect it I’ll report it up the chain. If you try to claim it later, not only will it require contributions, there might also be quota limits. Right now, while the effect is still uncertain, you can use it directly!”


Hearing this, Li Paor knew Li Fugui meant well, but he remained hesitant.


“I probed it;it’s fine. Use it now!” Li Fugui admonished.


Li Paor gritted his teeth and used the crystal.


Immediately, dense cultivation energy poured into his body.


Li Paor had been at the peak of Continent-City Level already. After absorbing the crystal, he felt his magical power and soul cultivation rapidly rise!


His understanding of rules also improved as his cultivation increased.


When the entire crystal was absorbed, he instantly erupted with Near King-level aura.


Everyone watched, eyes bulging.
