Chapter 208: Chapter 193 The Desperate Fight to the Death of Alien Tribes_1

"They were actually coming for that Spirit Vein!"

Pang Jian instantly felt invigorated.

Right away, he sensed that because his Divine Sense had condensed, his communication with the Mysterious Turtle had also become much smoother.

The heart’s voice and consciousness he transmitted could be accurately grasped by the Mysterious Turtle, which would respond swiftly.

Additionally, the Mysterious Turtle could clearly express its own thoughts.

"The enhancement of combat power by the Divine Sense isn’t earth-shattering, yet its ingenious applications benefit many areas."

Pang Jian, inwardly delighted, continued communicating with the Mysterious Turtle.

The other end of the connection, the Mysterious Turtle immediately indicated that because Pang Jian was in the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, it was only through Pang Jian that it could sense the deeply hidden Spirit Vein within.

For it, Spirit Veins were more precious than mining veins that could nurture ores and metals; they were much rarer and were the key essentials for its advancement and creation of Blessed Land Cave Heavens.

"If that’s the case, let me help you become stronger and help you obtain that Spirit Vein!"

An overjoyed Pang Jian landed at the bottom of the stream.

He took out the Beast Blood of a seventh-level Red-eyed Demon Wolf and a seventh-level Blood Lizard, and sent them over in buckets with the copper token.

The Mysterious Turtle hidden at the heart of the Fragment Land was gulping down the seventh-level Ferocious Beasts’ Beast Blood, its body starting to swell again.

Pang Jian, maintaining a connection with it, saw its giant turtle limbs radiating divine light, the natural patterns on its shell seemingly moving vividly as it suddenly burst with a vast vitality.

The Fragment Land it was in kept rumbling.

In the deep void nearby, wisps of faint Spiritual Energy, attracted by the Fragment Land, were gathering at an even faster pace from all directions within it.

The transitioning creature, excited and boiling from the seventh-level Beast Blood, conveyed another astonishing message.

——As long as Pang Jian was within its territory, he could wield some of its power.

With this, Pang Jian could achieve an effect of "Integration with the World," where not only could his strength be greatly increased but also accompanied by many profound mysteries.

"Integration, a domain of the world?"

Pang Jian’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he maintained his connection with the Mysterious Turtle and tried to perceive that Fragment Land.

His perception, due to being tied to the Mysterious Turtle, instantly amplified by ten million times!

An entire domain of Fragment Land, every blade of grass, every rock, and all the creatures moving in the forest, were under Pang Jian’s watchful eye!

He could even feel the pulse of flesh and blood within the bodies of the beasts.

With the "Cloud Island" annexed by the Mysterious Turtle, even the tiniest flying insects were visible to Pang Jian, down to the thin wings on their bodies.

"Is this the wonder of integrating within a domain?"

With a single thought, he discovered that the gradually thickening Spiritual Energy within the Fragment Land could be directed to specific areas at his will.

He could concentrate the Spiritual Energy and guide it to the central forest of "Cloud Island," or he could extract the Spiritual Energy from "Cloud Island" to other places.

If he could utilize nature’s Spiritual Energy, then when he was in the Fragment Land, couldn’t he incorporate the vast Spiritual Energy into his offensive moves during battle?

If the enemy he wanted to deal with was also in that Fragment Land, could he not make it impossible for the opponent to draw upon a shred of nature’s Spiritual Energy?

As he thought this, the Mysterious Turtle passed on another clear message.

The Mysterious Turtle told Pang Jian that it could use the entire power of the Fragment Land to suppress and reduce the strength of any beings that arrived there, rendering the intruders incapable of showing their full power.

"On one hand reducing the power of hostile creatures, and on the other, greatly enhancing my own power!"

Pang Jian’s spirit was profoundly shaken.

He recalled the Beast-Catching Ship of the Blood Moon stopped above Cloud Marsh, Ni Chen offering the blood sphere to attempt to create an eerie, blood-red Sky Curtain, claiming that under the curtain, Blood Moon’s followers could enhance their combat capability.

Conversely, outsiders would have their strength restrained.

Yet, before the Sky Curtain could fully display its power, it was torn apart by the Spirit Evil controlled by Luo Hongyan, and Pang Jian had not been able to properly comprehend the mysteries of the Sky Curtain.

From what the Mysterious Turtle indicated, the Fragment Land it hid was like having a huge, eerie Sky Curtain that could restrict all who entered.

And within it, it was akin to a God Spirit.

"Because of your presence, I can wield the authority that comes from you. Inside the Fragment Land, I can freely utilize the Spiritual Energy of the world and observe every move of everyone."

"If someone dares to be my enemy, their strength will be greatly reduced."

"This decrease and increase..."

Pang Jian’s eyes grew brighter

If it was really so, as long as he was in the Fragment Land hidden by the Mysterious Turtle, wouldn’t he, a Cultivator of the Hollow Profound Realm, have the qualifications to contend with someone in the Spirit Condensation Realm?

Thinking this, he wished he could bring Jiuyuan, Lou Yunming, and that old freak Cao of the Spirit Condensation Realm to that unknown Fragment Land and one by one, eliminate them.

"Crack! Rumble!"

Accompanied by the sound of rocks splitting within the Fragment Land and the roar above the ground, the Mysterious Turtle continued to expand and became even more colossal.

Clearly, the seventh-level Ferocious Beasts’ blood provided by Pang Jian was a significant aid in enhancing its power and size.

Just as it was about to fall into a brief slumber, it transmitted one last clear thought.

It said that once it reached the Third Realm, it could also influence certain parts of the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, making Yuan Mang a dominion under its sovereignty.

"Yuan Mang!"

Pang Jian was profoundly shaken.

And at that moment, a plan instantaneously formed in his heart.

He then patiently waited for the arrival of the Mysterious Turtle and the Fragment Land, occasionally establishing a connection with the Mysterious Turtle.

He gradually discovered that even in a state of hiding and being dormant, the Fragment Land was still soaring.

The Mysterious Turtle was clever, keeping the moving Fragment Land concealed beneath thick Lead Clouds.

This way, it could remain undetected by the gods and ghosts alike.

Because a thick sea of clouds always covered beneath the Third Realm, those living in the Fourth Realm would forever see a dim sky, never catching sight of the sun, moon, or stars.

Even at its best, the weather only occasionally allowed glimpses of the fragment lands floating above the clouds.

On this day.

Huddled in a cave of the fourth peak, he lay in a copper box absorbing the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars. As soon as he left the box, he established a connection with the Mysterious Turtle.

He noticed that the Mysterious Turtle was already very close to Yuan Mang’s fragmented lands.

So close that, through the fragment land where the Mysterious Turtle was, he could faintly see Yuan Mang itself.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

He also saw a Fire Cloud Ship and an Unstable Ferry, one after another, flying away from Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, falling towards the Fourth Realm.

On the two Flying Spirit Artifacts, the figures standing weren’t Human Race Cultivators but warriors from the Heaven Clan, Ghost Clan, Devil Scale Tribe, and Wood Tribe.

He immediately realized that these Alien Tribes warriors were carrying the loot from Yuan Mang, heading to the Fourth Realm tainted by Filth Alien Power, intending to deliver the key materials snatched from the Fourth Realm to the Fifth Realm.

"Boom!"

Huddled in the cave, observing beyond the sky through the Mysterious Turtle’s fragment land, he suddenly felt the earth tremble.

He pushed aside the boulders blocking the entrance and stood halfway up the fourth peak, squinting into the distance.

Under the night sky, five Cyclopes, dozens of feet tall, were scaling the first peak using hands and feet.

The granite-like bodies of the five Cyclopes were covered in deep, bone-deep wounds, yet no blood flowed.

Many glaring glimmers and lines burst out of the dwellings in the mountainside intended for habitation as they climbed, also splattering from killing arrays within some stone paths.

The entire two thousand feet tall body of Yuan Mang’s first peak, which was like a monster covered with sharp spikes, continually injured the Cyclopes.

The howling Cyclopes, disregarding the wounds that kept multiplying on their bodies, still desperately climbed the mountain.

"Whew!"

Warriors from the Heaven Clan and Devil Scale Tribe on the second peak either spread their wings and flew towards the summit of the first peak or rode on black-winged dragons.

Members of the Wood Tribe and Ghost Clan also left the third peak long ago. Together with the Cyclopes, they launched a reckless and fearless attack on the summit of the first peak.

This was destined to be a fierce and intense blood battle.

A towering Cyclops, riddled with wounds, finally managed to reach the summit with great difficulty when a tripod cauldron magnified a hundredfold suddenly appeared, radiating a sunshine-like brilliance.

The cauldron’s walls, engraved with nine suns, suddenly shone with blinding light.

"Boom!"

The Cyclops, about to reach the summit, was struck by the cauldron and fell from the sky two thousand feet high, causing the ground to boom with an earthquake-like roar once again.

A mighty Cyclops thus made a heroic sacrifice.

"The Nine Suns Tripod is truly extraordinary!"

"Raging Sun Sect really trusts Yang Rui, to grant him such a high-level Spiritual Treasure for self-defense."

From a distant valley, the exclamations of Human Race Cultivators could be heard.

Pang Jian on the middle of the fourth peak carefully listened and could also vaguely hear some of the words.

He continued to watch attentively.

That night,

During the mad onslaught launched by the Alien Tribes, a total of three Cyclopes died. Dozens of warriors from the Ghost Clan, Wood Tribe, and Devil Scale Tribe perished.

Ferocious Beasts of the fourth and fifth levels died by the hundreds, their corpses scattered throughout the valleys of the first peak.

However, not a single Alien Tribe member managed to breach the "Heavenly Killing Spirit Array" and stand atop the first peak.

In the end, the Alien Tribes retreated to their respective places. They returned to the second and third peaks to heal their wounds, planning to regroup before returning for another assault.

"They’re almost done for,"

The voice of Huang Qi came from a long, narrow rock beneath Pang Jian.

He grinned at Pang Jian, waved his hand in greeting, and said, "The weak Alien Tribes warriors have already left on the Flying Spirit Artifacts, and those who remain seem to have no intention of leaving alive. If they keep storming the peak in this suicidal way, in another wave or two, Cao Mang and the others won’t even need reinforcements."

"By then, Old Cao will probably leave the summit excitedly and turn to hunt them down,"

With a shake of his head and a tinge of regret, Huang Qi added, "If they can’t break the Heavenly Killing Spirit Array and only know how to blindly force their way, they’ll ultimately be left with no way out but death."

Huang Qi, who considered Cao Mang and Madam Hua as formidable enemies, showed a downcast expression.

"Those people..."

Pang Jian flew down and stood beside Huang Qi, looking towards the scattered Individual Cultivators in the nearby valley and the elders of the major families from the Third Realm, and wondered, "The Alien Tribes should have noticed them as well, why don’t they act?"

"The Alien Tribes have tried..."

Huang Qi said with a smile, explaining, "As soon as they see the black-winged dragons approaching, they scatter in all directions, fleeing into nearby woods, caves, and valleys, concealing their presence and cowering."

"With the demise of some Alien Tribes and the departure of others, their numbers are now limited. They don’t have enough energy to play a game of hide-and-seek with them."

"Moreover, it seems that the Alien Tribes know that the Spiritual Materials they carry are largely a repeat of those on the deceased Cultivators of the Human Race, so they feel it’s a waste of time to bother with them."

"The Alien Tribes would rather directly conquer the first peak and get their hands on the rarities held by Cao Mang, Madam Hua, Jiuyuan, Lou Yunming, and Wei Wenhan—those strong cultivators of the Spirit Condensation Realm,"

"Their main purpose on this trip is to collect various rare Spiritual Materials, not to kill Human Race Cultivators."

Huang Qi thoroughly clarified.

Pang Jian nodded in understanding.

Standing on the side of the fourth peak, the two chatted for a while longer. Pang Jian then noticed a huge umbrella suddenly emerging from the direction of the fifth peak, heading towards them.

"Star River Alliance, Liang Ying."

Pang Jian said coldly.
