Chapter 2224: Shattered Paradise
On the other side, the Chaos Race mining area!
In the Chaos Temple, an extremely beautiful fallen angel sat on the main seat, with a terrifying aura!
A pair of black wings folded behind him, listening to his subordinate Wufeng's report!
∑(°益°๑) "What the hell!"
Xuanse shuddered violently and suddenly sat upright from his throne!
Wufeng was stunned: "Lord Xuanse? What's wrong? Did you hear what I just said?"
"Those source metal ingots of yours should have been robbed by Black. I've already sent people to investigate the Dark Soul Clan member. He's just a small mine owner from a poor mining area, no background!"
"He's just a bit dishonest, always doing dirty jobs. I just didn't expect him to dare touch your goods!"
"After he did it, he even dared to show up and wander openly in Beimian Star. Shengyi is also in his hands. Who knows what other dealings they have behind each other's backs!"
Xuanse narrowed his eyes: ꒰ঌ(￢_￢)໒꒱ "Heh～You're also quite useless. A mere small mine owner from the Dark Soul Clan, at most a Planet Destroyer!"
"The Dark Soul Clan ranks 1048th in the Sequence! And all seven of your Imperial God Bodies were taken down by him? Idiot! With this level of ability, you dare to say you're following me, Xuanse?"
Wufeng lowered his head, looking terrified: "Little… little one dares not. Those few Imperial God Bodies of mine weren't very strong, and they didn't have much of my power in them. It was just… careless!"
In reality, Wufeng had no idea how his Imperial God Bodies were lost!
After the fight, there was no return message about what happened!
He could only feel that one of the Imperial God avatars hadn't been destroyed yet, trapped by something unknown!
"Please rest assured, Lord Xuanse! I will immediately lead the Chaos Legion to destroy this little brat and make him know who is truly the sky of this Starry Sky Mine!"
Xuanse said coldly: "Are you out of your damn mind? Your smuggled goods are lost, and you want to deploy the Chaos Legion? Afraid no one will find out about my private stash, huh?"
"Do you have to make it known to everyone? Don't you think I've lost enough face already?"
Wufeng was scolded and bowed his head, not daring to look up!
Xuanse's face turned cold, killing intent flashing in his eyes: "But this guy named Black doesn't need to exist anymore either. Whatever he swallowed, he'll have to spit it all out!"
"Shengyi was quite useful. She helped me transport a lot of goods before, and nothing ever happened to her. It's like she was blessed by heaven. It would be a pity to kill her!"
"I just don't know why she'd be so foolish as to hook up with that minor Dark Soul Clan member? Hehehe～It's time to properly train her. I have no intention of letting go of such a useful pawn!"
Xuanse waved his hand, and infinite dark yellow Chaos energy surged out, directly pouring into a humanoid creature wrapped entirely in gauze!
On the walls on both sides of the Chaos Hall hung densely packed bodies of all races!
All kinds were there. This was clearly Xuanse's private collection!
For the Chaos Clan, other people's bodies were like clothes to wear. Who would ever think they had too many clothes?
Wufeng's pupils contracted sharply: "Lord Xuanse? You're acting personally?"
Dividing such a large chunk? That's almost a fifth of his power?
Was Lord Xuanse trying to scare them to death? And he even used the body of the Heavenly Plague Clan?
Xuanse smiled sinisterly, black blood beginning to seep out from the gauze!
"Hehehe～Sometimes experiencing pain is also a unique kind of pleasure, isn't it? Bring your people! Follow me!"
……
At the 666 Starry Sky Mining Area, the Crystal Clan mine owner had already set up light belt warning lines at the edge of the mining area and set up a toll station!
Because it was possible to secretly enter Tiantang Zhijing, the place was packed with people, extremely popular!
People had even formed long queues in the starry sky, and special shuttle star ships directly to Tiantang Zhijing had been set up!
One trip every 10 minutes!
Jiangnan and his group had already passed the checkpoint, but they were all standing there, snickering, holding back their laughter.
Taro was staring wide-eyed, arguing furiously with the toll collector:
(⚆益⚆ꐦ(≖_≖)˘﹃˘) "What the hell do you mean charging me 300,000?"
"If the entrance fee is 100,000 per person, why are you charging me triple?"
The Crystal Clan young man said helplessly:
(*￣_￣) "I've told you already. Our boss said the fee is per head. You have three heads, so that counts as three people. Of course, you have to pay three shares!"
Taluo was furious:
(⚆口⚆ꐦ(≖～≖)˘﹃˘) "How is that three people? Don't you recognize the Desolate God Clan? Are you discriminating against me?"
The Crystal Clan young man shrugged: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "A Nine-Headed Desolate Clan member just went in and paid 900,000. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to enter!"
"Or you can take off two of your heads, and I'll only charge you 100,000!"
Taro glared:
(⚆益⚆ꐦ(≖益≖)˘﹃˘) "Oh, I'll be damned? Do I have to put up with this attitude?"
But the people behind were getting impatient: "Brother, are you going in or not? We're in a hurry!"
Jiangnan: (´థжథ)σ "Pfft～Taro, it's fine. Take them off! You can still live without two heads! It's just a bowl-sized scar!"
Taluo's face turned black. Yakeli said disdainfully:
(▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ꐦ(´-_-`)˘﹃˘) "Are you taking them off or not? If not, I'll just pay!"
Taluo gritted his teeth: "Fine, fine! Give it to him!"
After being cheated out of two extra shares, Taro finally came through. The group successfully boarded the shuttle star ship!
Since they were traveling along the edge of the mining area,
From a distance, they could see the demarcated zones in the starry sky!
In the starry sky, warning beacons were placed at intervals, linked by light beams to form long, narrow warning light screens!
It looked like the warning tape at a crime scene, with the words "No Entry" flowing across it!
This strictly demarcated the boundaries of the mining area. Just these warning beacons alone were not something an ordinary mine owner could afford!
Looking from 666 toward 665, they could see a brilliant galaxy there. Hundreds of dazzling galaxies were densely packed, like so many jade plates or flying saucers, multicolored and extremely gorgeous!
Each galaxy was no smaller than the Milky Way!
Looking back at this poor mining area, it was pitch black. Forget galaxies, there were only about ten thousand planets at most!
Jiangnan's eyes widened:
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Holy crap? That's our 665 mining area over there? It's that big?"
Chong Feiyu's mouth twitched. That's "ours"? That's not even close to settled yet!
(￢～￢) "Big? All the galaxies you can see with your eyes belong to the 665 mining area. And that's just what you can see!"
"Furthermore, 665 is just a small to medium-sized mine among the 241 rich mining areas I hold!"
"Otherwise, do you think the Starry Sky Mine, which has supported the excavation of all races for billions of years, would be as small as a sesame seed?"
Jiangnan broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had expected it, he never imagined the scale would be this terrifying!
With Chong Feiyu's 241 mining areas combined, how terrifying must the resource volume be?
Just then, Chong Feiyu narrowed her eyes and pointed at a huge galactic disk:
☚(≖～≖) "Look～See that? The black area of that galaxy?"
Jiangnan looked in the direction she was pointing. The galaxy was a dazzling deep blue, but more than half of it was shrouded in black mist!
Like thick dark clouds, only a small portion of the galaxy's light could get through!
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "I see it? What is that black stuff? It looks strange!"
Chong Feiyu narrowed her eyes: "That's an insect swarm..."
Jiangnan's expression froze. Insect swarm?
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) Holy crap!
A number large enough to obscure an entire galaxy? How many is that?
Chong Feiyu: "...a small part of it."
Jiangnan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. But thinking about it, how large would the insect swarm be that could simultaneously excavate 241 mining areas?
Even if he killed until he was old and dead, he wouldn't be able to finish them!
Chong Feiyu murmured: "The insect swarm is the most powerful force of the Insect Race Mother Empress, and the only force she can rely on!"
"Now, are you clear about what kind of existence you have to face? Is this mining area still ours?"
Jiangnan suppressed the surging emotions in his chest and grinned:
(˶‾᷄↼‾᷅˵) "It's still ours, of course!"
Chong Feiyu was startled, then burst into laughter:
(〃ớ◡ờ) "I just love the confident look on your face when you're talking out of your insect!"
It seemed there was nothing in the world that could scare Jiangnan. When faced with a problem, he always thought about how to solve it, not that he definitely couldn't handle it!
Wang Youzhi teased: (՞ټ՞) "Oh? You..."
Jiangnan glared: "Let me clarify! I've never talked out of it, okay? Don't get the wrong idea. What's with you and wanting to drive down every rough road?"
Jiu Lan's face turned bright red. What were you all talking about? I couldn't understand a thing!
Just then, Shengyi suddenly stood up...
"Tiantang Zhijing has arrived! Look quickly!"
Everyone quickly looked in the direction she pointed!
It was an extremely vast area, no smaller than an average galaxy!
It had a spherical structure, and inside Tiantang Zhijing, it looked like many mirrors had been shattered!
Countless irregularly shaped fragments drifted aimlessly in the starry sky, gathering into a massive sphere!
These fragments were of various sizes, some tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, others as small as glass shards!
From a distance, it looked like a constantly shifting, rotating kaleidoscope, incredibly beautiful!
What surprised Jiangnan was that these Tiantang Zhijing fragments had only length and width, but no thickness! They were irregularly shaped planes!
They seemed unreal, yet still visible, like a perfect starry sky painting that had been broken!
Jiangnan even saw a complete star system unfolded on one fragment of Tiantang Zhijing!
He saw flowers, trees, white clouds, and sky, and even saw an ocean-like insect legion frozen on the plane, the picture seemingly paused!
It was dead and silent!
Jiangnan was stunned. He felt an unusual spatial fluctuation in Tiantang Zhijing, oppressive to the extreme, making him extremely uncomfortable!
"This... this is Tiantang Zhijing?"
Wang Youzhi grinned:
(〃⌒↼⌒) "Now you see it, right? Two-dimensional space fragments!"
Jiangnan's pupils contracted sharply! Indeed!
