Chapter 460: Chapter 324: The Strangler of the Mighty

Two days passed.

At noon on this day, a sci-fi style spacecraft suddenly arrived above Area C of the Golden Academy. At this moment, many Cultivators were already standing in front of the cultivation houses waiting.

They had received information yesterday that a spaceship would pick them up at noon today to take them to World Six for an inter-world combat mission.

Among them were not only Cultivators like Li Yi who were compelled to participate, but also those who volunteered, like Jiang Mingtian, a tall man with purple eyes, and several unfamiliar trainees who were simple in thought, aiming to plunder resources in World Six and embark on the path of genetic combat.

This was the fastest opportunity to dual cultivate methods. Though perilous, the great temptation still enticed many.

By this time, Li Yi was fully prepared, clad in Transcendent metal armor with a pale red magic sword on his back. Although he looked somewhat odd, he was armed to the teeth. Nearby, Jiang Mingtian was similarly dressed in armor, with a treasured sword hanging at his waist.

"Area C, number 44, Zhang Guangming? The person called should board the spaceship immediately." As the spacecraft hovered mid-air, the cabin opened, and a man holding an electronic screen shouted.

The next moment, a figure dashed out from a nearby cultivation house. A Cultivator named Zhang Guangming leaped up and landed in the spaceship’s cabin.

"Identity information confirmed, take a seat." The man nodded and then shouted, "Area C, number 51, Chen Li."

"Here." A woman’s voice responded. The woman moved swiftly and also leaped onto the spaceship, displaying strong power, evidently a master in the Soul Realm.

"Area C, number 64, Li Yi." The man continued to call names.

The next moment, Li Yi activated his Gang Qi, and enveloped in a robust aura, he soared into the air like a large bird, accurately landing inside the cabin.

"Able to fly in the Spiritual Realm? No, that’s not it, he has cultivated other methods; he cannot be judged by ordinary standards." Zhang Guangming and Chen Li, who were already inside the cabin, were stunned upon seeing this, and when they saw Li Yi’s extraordinary weapons and armor, a look of wariness appeared on their faces.

Such capabilities and such a background, undoubtedly, he was an oddity.

As they sized up Li Yi, he also took a moment to evaluate them.

Though they were strangers, they shared a friendly exchange, nodding slightly as a greeting.

"So it’s you, Li Yi? Did you kill a Soul Realm student named Wang Fan at the Golden Academy a few days ago?" The man calling out names glanced at Li Yi’s information, looking at him with some astonishment.

Li Yi simply stated, "I was framed."

"That’s not important. You were sent here to participate in battle due to committing offenses, so you’ll be directly assigned to the vanguard team soon. You better be careful," the man warned.

"I understand, thank you." Li Yi nodded and then took his seat without further conversation.

"Area C, number 65, Jiang Mingtian." The man continued calling names.

Soon, Jiang Mingtian also boarded the spacecraft, his excitement palpable: "Let’s hurry to World Six, my sword at my side is already humming."

"Area C, number 67, Sikong Yao." As the name was called out, the tall man clad in liquid armor with purple eyes also boarded the ship.

"Li Yi, Jiang Mingtian, I thought you two wouldn’t go to World Six, but here you are at last," Sikong Yao said with a smile. His aura was unsettling, lending a strange oppressive feel, experienced as life disparity just by being close.

Jiang Mingtian’s gaze sharpened: "You’ve broken through to the Soul Realm?"

"Of course, I’ve always been on the path of gene evolution, also dual cultivating. I’ve been honing my will recently, so breaking through isn’t strange," Sikong Yao explained.

It seemed not just them, but others had also made progress recently after entering the Golden Academy, unleashing potential and achieving breakthroughs from early admission into the Spiritual Realm.

"I really didn’t want to come this time, but I had no choice after offending someone and getting sent here," Li Yi remarked.

"Then don’t die. Our deal isn’t completed yet. This time, I’ll secure some rare items. As long as luck holds, I should be able to earn enough points," Sikong Yao expressed his concern, worried Li Yi might not return to continue their exchanges.

"Don’t worry, I won’t die. I’ll definitely return. But you, don’t be too reckless; take care in World Six," Li Yi calmly said, this time bringing the Golden Coffin, holding a major weapon in his hand.

"Haha, don’t worry about me. I’m well-prepared this time; even World Six can’t bury me," Sikong Yao laughed heartily, clearly confident.

While they were talking, a few more Cultivators entered the cabin, all newcomers eager to take a chance in World Six.

As the participants were all present, the spacecraft started again, heading towards a certain location of the Golden Academy.

Soon.

The spacecraft stopped in front of a building made of some metal.

Rather than a building, it was more of a fortress.

Inside this fortress, there was a gateway to another world, perpetually open for unknown reasons. Through the gateway, everyone could clearly see a brand-new world, a section of which Golden Academy individuals had already occupied.

But that place looked like a military stronghold, equipped with various weapons and many powerful Cultivators stationed there.

"Disembark from the spacecraft, come with me."

The man responsible for roll call shouted, then led everyone from the spacecraft towards that gateway.

As they were about to enter the fortress, near the gateway, a man dressed in a Daoist robe with his hair tied up in a bun was standing there, smiling warmly. More precisely, his gaze was directed at Li Yi in the crowd.

"Xu Wen Dao?" Li Yi’s gaze grew stern at this moment.

"Li Yi, it’s not too late for you to change your mind. As long as you provide the cross-world point, I can find a way to get you out of the vanguard team and have you stay at the Number Six Base, sparing you from joining the cross-world battle. It might be hard, but at least your life will be safe," Xu Wen Dao spoke up at this moment, although he wanted to kill Li Yi, he was more eager to get the cross-world point from him.

After all, in the world controlled by Li Yi, it was possible to obtain Life Extending Pills. It would truly be a pity if he were to die just like that.

"Xu Wen Dao, stop dreaming. I won’t give you the cross-world point. You better go prepare a coffin for yourself and wash your neck clean, waiting for me to come back and slaughter you," Li Yi said coldly.

"You won’t come back," Xu Wen Dao looked at Li Yi and said, "I guarantee it."

"I don’t believe you," Li Yi replied.

"You will believe," Xu Wen Dao said solemnly, "I’ve spent a Magic Artifact to gain some connections. He can kill you or save you, it’s your choice now. If you regret your decision and give away the cross-world point, there still could be a chance to turn things around. I’m very reasonable and have been giving you opportunities all along."

"Don’t worry, after I chop off your head, I’ll also speak nicely. Tell me in advance where you want to be buried, and I promise to reunite your family," Li Yi said.

"You’re truly evil. Trivially threatening one’s family. In that case, I can only accompany you on your final journey," Xu Wen Dao sighed, shook his head, and then left on his own.

After he left.

Jiang Mingtian whispered, "That guy indeed has many Magic Artifacts. To deal with you, he even directly gave one away. It’s definitely right to rob him in the future."

"I don’t know what tricks he is going to play next, we need to be careful," Li Yi said. "Cultivation isn’t just about fighting and killing, it involves personal connections too. This guy really went all out using a Magic Artifact to buy connections."

Soon.

The team entered the fortress, and as they moved along, they soon passed through the cross-world gate and entered Number Six Base.

The base was large and there were traces of pits on the ground, apparently there had been a recent conflict with the people of Number Six World, causing some damage. The air was filled with the smell of war, and it was clear the situation was tense, ready to explode into conflict at any moment.

"You are the last batch participating in this mission. The counterattack will happen tonight, and specific mission requirements will be notified an hour before the action. I am Huo Hong, the person in charge of the operation. From now on, you all need to follow my command. Any questions?"

At this moment, a man in battle armor with silver short hair walked over. His presence was powerful and murderous, simply being near him was somewhat suffocating.

Everyone was silent.

Because they knew that this man was a Spirit Power Realm expert.

"Good, since you are silent, that means there are no problems," Huo Hong said calmly, then with a gaze sharp as knives, he swept over everyone and said in a deep voice, "Among you, who is Li Yi?"

"I am," Li Yi stepped forward at this moment.

Huo Hong showed a smile, "Someone came to me with a Magic Artifact to arrange a very dangerous task for you in this cross-world battle, preferably to have you die in action. But I think that’s too troublesome. What if you, like the protagonists in the novels, not only survive but later become much stronger and seek revenge on me?

"So it’s better to be direct, I’ll just kill you now. Don’t blame me, the price they paid for an innately talented Cultivator like you is enough."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Li Yi felt a deadly sense of crisis, his pupils suddenly shrank, then he saw a dazzling light from Huo Hong’s fingertips flying towards him, like a leaping electric arc speeding towards him.

Too fast.

Such an attack was unavoidable.

Unexpectedly, Huo Hong was so rampant, right in front of everyone, at the base, he made a move to kill without wanting to parley with Li Yi.

The gap in their realms was evident.

Li Yi was powerless.

"Am I going to die here?" This was the only thought in his mind.

All of his precautions were ineffective against a direct attack from a higher realm expert.

Just when the attack seemed to instantly pulverize Li Yi, unexpectedly, a dazzling light appeared in front of Li Yi, blocking the attack and shielding him.

Li Yi, who was supposed to die, was not killed by Huo Hong.

"This Li Yi is under my team now, Huo Hong, you don’t have any objections, right?" Suddenly, a cold voice came, and two people, a man and a woman, strode forward, followed by a team.

"You want to protect this Li Yi?" Huo Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, recognizing the newcomers.

Li Yi, who had narrowly escaped death, broke out in a cold sweat and was in shock, then looked towards those who had helped him.

He recognized those two.

It was Bai Sinan, who initially came to fetch him but ended up being rendered useless by a divine light severing his body.

No, he had to withdraw that thought.

Bai Sinan was not useless, he was useful now.

"Correct, I’ve protected this Li Yi, what about it?" Bai Sinan spoke coldly, glancing over, "Want to fight? I don’t mind taking you down early."

"You’d better be careful then," Huo Hong glanced at Tao Lu beside him.

Handling Bai Sinan alone was difficult enough, let alone if Tao Lu, who was inseparable from him, joined in. He would be doomed.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, he snorted heavily and turned to leave.
