Chapter 777: Iron Brotherhood!
Chapter 777: Iron Brotherhood!
Was Commander Rollier dead?
The mighty warriors of the Barbarian Ancestral Realm were greatly shaken.
Especially the members under Rollier, now only two medium-grade six-winged dimension lords remained.
Making a quick decision, they retreated swiftly.
Although treasures were important, they weren't worth risking their lives for!
The situation changed dramatically!
The once overwhelmingly dominant Barbarian Ancestral Realm, with its fifteen Sky race experts, was now killed in number!
Even their top combat prowess was no longer advantageous!
The two-winged Sky race who had slain Commander Rollier was like a terrifying devil, instilling great pressure on the Barbarian Ancestral Realm's Sky race.
"Let's go!" Commander Judy commanded.
Having fought the Dark race for years, they knew when to fight and when to retreat.
It was normal to be outmatched in strength. There was no need to fight to the death.
"Retreat!" Commander Ba Xi roared as they fell back.
His demonic eyes fixed on Wang Ye filled with both killing intent and fear.
Continuing the battle might lead them to the same fate as Rollier.
Swoosh!
The Spacetime Burial River appeared.
Wang Ye swiftly captured a medium-grade six-winged dimension lord whose energy consumption was considerable and promptly began his assault.
Soon, the sound of the demon core exploding echoed.
Boom!
The battle at the entrance of the secret realm ended with a deafening explosion.
Wang Ye's reappearance sent shivers down the spines of the three major realm battle teams.
Any remnants of reaping benefits had completely vanished.
After slaying several six-winged dimension lords, including a high-grade one...
He remained at his peak!
"Perfect, I'll gain 1 million evolution points," Wang Ye remarked, gazing into the distance.
The remaining members of the Sky race from the Barbarian Ancestral Realm had long since fled.
There was no need to pursue desperate enemies.
Killing a high-grade six-winged dimension lord was still somewhat challenging for him.
Willpower annihilation was like killing ten thousand enemies but losing five thousand of his own.
Unless the Vast Hound Lord awoke and used his willpower to minimize his injuries.
Otherwise, using the demon core with Little White and utilizing energy annihilation would be more suitable.
However, his current strength was capped at the level of a medium-grade six-winged dimension lord with energy annihilation.
Moreover, it had to be an opponent with a high-dimension saint body and not excessively strong innate energy.
For instance, someone like Xiao Gang, whose demon core had five times the energy of Little White, was a medium-grade High Dimension Lord and couldn't be killed.
Fortunately, most Sky race members still followed the great path of spacetime and had ordinary six-winged dimension lords with high-dimension saint bodies.
Hmm?
Wang Ye surveyed his surroundings.
He realized he had become the center of attention.
Beside him stood Shakima, her face filled with admiration and joy.
Not far away were the three realm battle teams, maintaining a cautious distance.
Further off were Xia Ludi and Liang Tianyue, their eyes reflecting shock and complexity.
He had inadvertently drawn attention to himself once again.
But he was already accustomed to it.
There was no helping it, his strength was simply too dominant.
Wang Ye took stock of his spoils and found he had acquired quite a haul.
Especially from the high-grade six-winged dimension lord, he had slain, obtaining a high-grade high-dimensional spiritual tool, a medium-grade high-dimensional spiritual tool, several low-grade high-dimensional spiritual tools, and even two keys!
It was an effortless gain.
"We won't divide the spoils," Wang Ye said to Shakima. "These two secret realm keys are for you."
Since everyone fought side by side, it was only right to share some of the profits with their "allies."
After all, without their support, he might not have been able to achieve such an easy victory.
Shakima's eyes sparkled with excitement.
He didn't lack treasures, but he was short on two secret realm keys!
"Thanks, brother!" Shakima exclaimed happily.
He handed one key to each of his two teammates, smiling from ear to ear.
What more could he say?
Ye Wang guided him, exchanged keys for him, and led him onward!
Their relationship was strong and enduring.
"Let's go," Wang Ye said with a courteous smile as he glanced at Xia Ludi and Liang Tianyue.
With that, they entered the secret realm of the demon race with their team.
Swoosh! Ten figures vanished quickly.
The three battle teams couldn't help but sigh.
If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they wouldn't have believed it.
Luckily, they didn't act recklessly, or they would've suffered losses like the Barbarian Ancestral Realm team.
Their opponent was just too powerful.
"What do you think?" Liang Tianyue asked Xia Ludi.
"How many keys do you have?" Xia Ludi pondered for a moment before asking.
"We have two," Liang Tianyue replied.
"We have three," Xia Ludi said to Liang Tianyue. "It's almost even. Our two teams can join forces and enter together. We'll split the rewards fifty-fifty. Sound good?"
"Then wouldn't I be taking advantage of you?" Liang Tianyue chuckled.
"Don't sweat the small stuff." Xia Ludi spoke softly. "Let's establish a reliable alliance. We'll secure the first mission slot and continue cooperating on the second mission."
"Is Sister Xia feeling challenged?" Liang Tianyue teased with a smile.
"Yeah," Xia Ludi nodded. "Ye Wang's strength took us by surprise. With him and Shakima teamed up, there's no stopping them. If we delay any longer, our harvest of the treasures of life will dwindle."
"Plus, the other four great realm's battle teams will still be blocking the entrance later on. Getting into the demon race's secret realm will only get harder."
"Instead of wasting time and facing too many uncertainties, it's better to enter sooner rather than later."
"We'll figure out the rest later."
"Alright, let's go!" Liang Tianyue agreed.
...
In the demon race's secret realm.
"Roar!" Xiao Gang was brimming with excitement.
The spiky pig's head darted around, far from its usual lazy demeanor, now incredibly active.
Wang Ye spread his wings and felt the energy of the demon core pulsating.
Little White felt right at home, absorbing life force and innate energy from the surging demonic energy to strengthen its demon core.
"The life force here is much stronger than outside," Master Qingning remarked.
Wang Ye nodded, "Before the prosperous land of extremes, the demise of those who followed the refiner, the dissipation of life force, and then slow recovery. If I'm not mistaken, it's slowly seeping out from this demon race's secret realm."
"Brother Ye, are you talking about Demon Venerable Meng Qi?" Shakima interjected.
"Brother Sha knows?" Wang Ye was surprised.
"My sister mentioned it to me before the mission," Shakima explained. "She said that Demon Venerable Meng Qi was a prodigy of the demon race, very remarkable. But unfortunately, being of a different race, his intentions were likely different."
Wang Ye nodded.
Demon Venerable Meng Qi's demise was closely related to the Sky race.
If he wasn't mistaken, Meng Qi should be from an Outer Sky race.
"What else did your sister say?" Wang Ye probed further.
As expected, Shakima had insider information.
"My sister mentioned that he self-destructed," Shakima revealed. "It's likely that he left behind many demon legacies and treasures."
"So, you knew this place was a thriving ground early on?" Wang Ye inquired.
"Yes," Shakima confirmed.
Wang Ye inwardly grumbled that they hadn't even made it into the top ten.
No, not even the top twenty.
Poor Sharuth went through so much trouble to help him.
However, this further confirmed that he had made the right decision.
In the second mission, he might gain some valuable information from Shakima in advance!
"The things left behind by Demon Venerable Meng Qi must be related to the demon shilling," Master Qingning transmitted.
"Right," Wang Ye replied.
"Should we leave them behind and act independently?" Master Qingning asked again.
"No rush. Let's assess the situation in the demon race's secret realm first," Wang Ye suggested.
"But what if we discover the treasure indicated by the demon shilling? Wouldn't its existence be exposed?" Master Qingning raised concern.
"Didn't we obtain our demon shilling from other teams?" Wang Ye reminded. "I've already exchanged Shakima's demon shilling with another team."
Master Qingning was momentarily speechless.
"Brother Ye, what's our next move?" Shakima asked, now seeing Wang Ye as a true brother-in-arms.
"We're searching for treasures of life," Wang Ye replied with a smile. "Not only does this place have much more life force than the outside, but it has also been sealed off since Demon Venerable Meng Qi's self-destruction. No other Sky race expert has entered."
"There must be treasures everywhere now."
"Can we quickly obtain many treasures of life to exchange for Sky merit?"
"This will greatly boost our reputation."
"Really?" Shakima's eyes gleamed with excitement, his breath quickening.
"Of course," Wang Ye affirmed with a smile. "Didn't I say it before? This time, I'll give you some benefits!"
...
They began searching the demon race's secret realm!
With senior sister guiding us, we're in good hands!
They had barely taken a few steps when they encountered a stroke of luck.
They ran into two high-dimensional universe beasts!
The two battle teams quickly divided the spoils.
Before long, they encountered another formidable battle team from the Frost Ancestor Realm.
An elite team consisting entirely of high-grade high-dimensional masters!
Both sides kept their distance and passed by each other.
"The numbers are still a bit daunting," Wang Ye remarked, glancing at Shakima, who stood tall.
Without the five of them, they might have just engaged in a fight.
While their side wasn't weak, their strength was a bit lacking on the surface.
Now, they could reap steadily!
Here it comes!
The first treasure of life!
It was a piece of apricot-yellow jade that had sunk to the bottom of the lake.
Compared to the majestic natural treasures with powerful innate energy like the Great Path gem treasures, life treasures do indeed seem somewhat inconspicuous.
After all, the area was naturally veiled by the vast surges of life force.
Without specialized exploration techniques, it was normal to overlook such opportunities.
This was why Wang Ye wasn't in a rush to enter the demon race's secret realm.
This was because the other four great realms' battle teams weren't here for the treasures of life.
Their target was the inheritance and treasures of Demon Venerable Meng Qi!
Unfortunately, he first needed to have the demon shilling.
"This thing is extremely rare," Wang Ye acknowledged.
If the seal at the entrance of the secret realm wasn't mistaken or overlooked, then there should only be six demon shillings.
He had already seized the initiative.
...
Marching forward together!
Wang Ye and the Shakima's battle team were astonishingly efficient!
In just a few days, their Sky merit had doubled!
"Haha, Brother Ye, we're in the top ten!" Shakima laughed heartily, unable to contain his joy.
The advancement in the first mission was secured!
Now, upon leaving, not only would he not bring shame to his sister, but he would also hold his head high!
Who said he, Shakima, couldn't do it?
He was Sharuth's younger brother!
"Yes," Wang Ye replied with a smile.
He linked his consciousness to the team badge and glanced at the current rankings of Sky merit.
[1. Team No. 8: 3610 Sky merit points.]
[2. Team No. 6: 3230 Sky merit points.]
[3. Team No. 2: 3080 Sky merit points.]
...
Their team had caught up as well.
After obtaining one medium-grade treasure of life after another, they had surpassed the No. 2 Sa Jie's battle team, which had been leading the way.
They were officially ranked second!
Second only to Team No. 8, led by Lan Scarlet.
"Not bad, darling Scarlet," Wang Ye praised.
