Chapter 631: 579 looking for three

"The rebel forces of the two galaxies are down to their last two space-air armies; if we lose this time, there might never be another chance!" The captain, a burly white man with a slicked-back hairdo and a resolute gaze, wiped the blood from his face with his hand, leaving streaks across his bloodstained visage.

"Maybe if we keep holding on, keep pushing for support, there might still be hope! Do you hear that gunfire? The city center is still fighting! They’re not dead yet!" he exclaimed earnestly and loudly.

"The Blura People’s reinforcements will arrive in thirty minutes—this is our last chance! If we can’t retake control of the base within thirty minutes, everyone will die!" the woman with the ponytail shouted.

"...Then let’s charge!" The captain roared and burst out from his hiding spot, raising his firearm and unleashing a barrage of shots at the enemies ahead.

Beams of laser fire erupted, striking directly at the silver robotic skeletons descending from the sky.

These robotic beings, linked by a simple spinal column to their limbs and wielding laser cannons, targeted the group and fired continuously.

Boom!

A laser cannon hit directly on one of their energy packs.

An explosion ensued.

Five people were sent flying by the massive blast, with the captain slamming into a corner of a wall by the roadside, his skull indented slightly, and he was breathless.

Amidst the roaring explosions, the remaining team members struggled to their feet, glancing over. Some wanted to rush over to help, but were held back.

Amidst loud shouts, they all bore the pain and quickly moved away in another direction.

Just then, beside the fallen captain in mid-air, a semi-transparent invisible vortex suddenly materialized.

From the center of the vortex, a beam of purple-black light shot out, striking the captain squarely between the eyebrows.

Soon, the vortex disappeared, the purple light faded, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

The sounds of bombing in the city grew scarcer, flames began to spread, and thick smoke and dense fog enveloped everything around.

Hiss.

Suddenly, the collapsed captain’s eyes snapped open, a flash of purple-gold luminescence fleeting across them.

"Where is the Rainbow Candy?"

He slowly got up, moving his limbs around, looking left and right.

"My position transfer shouldn’t have gone wrong, should it? Where are the people?"

The one now occupying this body was none other than Li Chengyi, who had just teleported from Earth-Moon.

To assimilate more quickly and gather ample information here, he chose the Shadow Exchange Ability as his first move, entering and taking over this recently deceased person’s identity in this world.

"Hmm... this Blind Spot is so large!?"

Li Chengyi rubbed his temples, suddenly realizing that this place was much larger than Earth-Moon.

It was at least fifty times bigger.

And within it lay a vast number of star systems, its internal ecology an entire universe-like system.

The Luolai People, the Blura People, and the United Star People jointly fought a horrific war with the Star Network organization.

Star Spirits, renowned combatants, were the main force on both sides. With Star Spirits at the fore and unmanned fleet weapons in support, countless people vanished like dust in the war.

Yet the Star Spirits still shone, glowing like heroes.

Yuan Star was somewhat like Earth and Earth-Moon, while the Luolai People and Blura People were from distant alien galaxies, with the former resembling human life with four eyes and the latter having sharp ears, somewhat like elves, with yellowish skin.

Their adversary, the Star Network, is a top-tier powerful organization composed entirely of Star Spirits.

The ambition to unify the surrounding galaxies propels this organization to wage constant wars against the league.

Complicated information flickered rapidly in Li Chengyi’s mind.

It took him over ten minutes to absorb all the information inside this body.

Then, his appearance reverted to what he originally looked like.

He had no intention of inheriting the relationships and causes of this body and decided purely on his own to quickly find people and then leave.

"But I was clearly accurate in my positioning when I teleported here, and yet this place..."

Before coming here, he had explored more than twenty suspicious Blind Spots, but they were all common, small ones, instantly revealing an absence of Rainbow Candy’s presence upon entry.

But this place was different.

He could sense the presence of the Floral Bead of Rainbow Candy, but it seemed to be obscured by something, its location vague and uncertain.

Stepping out from the alleyway, he surveyed the widespread devastation of collapsed buildings and skyscrapers.

The entire city was aflame, intermittent explosions booming throughout.

Billowing black smoke soared into the sky, shrouding it in darkness.

The acrid smell of smoke and chemical odors made it such that no living being could exist in any corner of the city.

Li Chengyi did not feel the heat; his current body temperature could reach over three hundred degrees, so the heat of several tens to a hundred degrees on the streets was negligible to him.

’The direction of the sensation is vague, but I am certain the Rainbow Candy is here.’

Next, he needed to find a suitable way to locate people.

After some thought, his figure flashed and he suddenly appeared on the roof of a silver skyscraper.

The Shadow Spring allowed him to hide his figure within shadows, undetectable by others.

From the top of the skyscraper, the highest point in the city, he could view the entire city.

Plumes of black smoke rose into the sky as orange flames engulfed most of the area, with silver robots holding firearms patrolling and hunting for survivors in the streets and alleys.

Li Chengyi frowned and began to flicker at high speed.

The next moment, he was on a desolate yellow-green plain.

His power of consciousness expanded, but there were no signs of life.

Then, he was above a vast sea.

Several disabled giant warships floated lopsided on the water, emitting thick smoke yet still no trace of people.

He flashed from place to place, searching for any significant human settlements, but found no traces.

"Poor world..."

Li Chengyi eventually gave up, looked up, and trained his gaze on the distant starry sky above.

The barely discernible scent of the Rainbow Candy might well be emanating from the stars in that sky.

’This is troublesome....’

He had finally returned to the city where he had first appeared, standing on the burning streets.

With a stretch of his hand, he beckoned from afar, and instantly, a piece of scrap—a robot’s thigh—flew into his hand.

Hiss.

The thigh vanished in the blink of an eye.

When it reappeared, it was already inside the Sword Furnace of the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace.

The golden flames blazed fiercely, starting to brighten ever so slightly.

The metal thigh quickly melted away, dissolving into the flames.

Li Chengyi felt a subtle warm current flowing from his brain throughout his body, spreading to every limb and rapidly strengthening his bones and muscles.

’Is this the sensation of enhancement from the furnace’s burning?’

He pondered thoughtfully.

’It’s very weak; if I were to rely on this kind of material for realm enhancement, even burning and devouring continuously for a thousand years might not be enough to double my strength... The efficiency is indeed too low.’

The New Transmission Method of the Yin Canon mentioned materials commonly found in the Black Sea that could rapidly enhance the realm of the Yin Canon.

The first and foremost was the Origin Body.

Then there were the Origin Seals and Imprints.

After that were various individuals of negative energy with formidable strength.

’Let’s try and see, if I completely open up the absorption, how much can I enhance my speed by turning everything around me into fuel. This will also help quickly filter out the most cost-effective fuel around.’

With that thought in mind, he spread his arms wide.

A massive force of attraction centered around him, rapidly expanding outward.

A gale swept through, and under the pull of the gravitational force, cars, remnants of warplanes were flying towards him at high speeds, vanishing the moment they neared Li Chengyi.

Mountains of dirt, stones, billboards, glass, metal—whatever clutter there was—all accelerated towards him.

Inside the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace, the Sword Furnace’s golden light soared, hurriedly burning away the mass of miscellaneous items drawn into it.

Continuous warm energy, like small rivulets, poured nonstop into Li Chengyi’s body, strengthening his flesh.

However, his brow only furrowed more deeply.

’It’s too slow.... Some materials even burn to ash and have practically no effect.’

’I wonder how Que Ru is doing. Is everyone like me, with such an extremely slow speed?’

Tian Ju Pavilion · Inner Sect.

Daoist Ping Qiu slowly rose from his seated meditation, completing the transmission of the law to the last group of disciples, as the Inner Sect temporarily closed its doors.

It was now his time to rest.

Calculating the merit accumulated for the day, he walked to the gates of the Taoist Palace and looked off into the black sky curtain in the distance.

"In stillness, the scene contains the secrets of the changes of all things; it is easy to become obsessed with long observations and unable to extricate oneself. Be careful."

A clear and gentle male voice drifted from behind.

Soon, a young Taoist with reddish skin and black bull horns on his forehead slowly approached and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"This batch of disciples, sixteen in total, what do you think?" the young Taoist asked again.

Ping Qiu glanced at him.

"Just about passable, not as good as the previous batch."

"Is there potential for a Saint Position?" the young Taoist inquired.

"It’s difficult. Among the recent batches, only Song Yunhe from the previous group has a chance to step into the Saint Position.

His talent and brilliance are extremely eye-catching; by my calculations, he should have reached Divine Fire by now..." Ping Qiu sighed. "He reached perfection in Qi Fire upon entry, and within just over ten years, he has entered Divine Fire. His comprehension and constitution far surpass those of his peers."

"Indeed... The difficulty of reaching the Saint Position is as hard as ascending to the heavens. And beyond that, the Multi-Dimensional Tower is even more challenging..." The young Taoist also sighed.

"At the fastest speed, if anyone from this batch can step into the next realm within two hundred years, that would be quite an achievement," Daoist Ping Qiu stated calmly.

"That’s true, the enhancement speed from burning in the furnace is what it is."

The bull-horned young Taoist waved his hand, and immediately in the air in front of him, there appeared a field of tiny, dense red dots.

Each red dot represented a newcomer who had undergone the initial trial of the Inner Sect, and at a glance, there were at least several hundred people.

Some red dots were brighter, indicating higher intensity. When the brightness reached its peak, if one could break through, it would turn green in an instant. It was considered passing the assessment.

"By the way, I heard from the Ancestral Master’s message that we are going to wage a full-scale war with the White Wax?" the young Taoist asked again.

Ping Qiu gave him a look.

"No, it’s already over."

"!!?" The young Taoist was stunned, unable to comprehend.

"Two Black Sea Days ago, all of the Blind Spot Worlds belonging to White Wax were completely breached. Over ninety percent of the worlds were devoured by our Ancestral Masters. Due to the Lian City Covenant, the elders normally do not casually devour worlds, but the moment they got an excuse, they couldn’t hold back.

The Dimensional Demon Gods of the Multi-Dimensional Tower, the moment they were granted permission, they were nearly completely mobilized, and along with two of our Masters, they completed all annihilation tasks within half an hour," said Ping Qiu lightly.

".... This....!!" The young Taoist was dumbfounded, "My mentor also asked me to inquire... to see if we could spare a little for him...."

"Too late. Now there’s barely a drop of soup left..." Ping Qiu said with an expressionless shake of his head.

The young Taoist was completely petrified, looking at Daoist Ping Qiu shaking his head as he returned to the Taoist Palace.

Turning around to face the cold wind, his heart was filled with chill.

"It’s good to have someone on the inside...." The consequence of not being well-informed is that you don’t get a taste of any good stuff.
