The figure of the beautiful woman appeared in the air. Her gaze was complicated, filled with jealousy, anger, and killing intent…
Being involved with the black tide was a taboo in the universe. Once it was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
One could either transform into a dark creature and completely become a member of the black tide, or they could wander the universe and hide in a world with a lower level of cultivation. They would not dare to travel through the universe with their true identity.
Therefore, the human in front of them was definitely a target that the three of them had to kill. Once he escaped, it would be a huge problem for the three of them.
However, the human who was fleeing in front of them not only had a more mysterious background than the three of them, but his escaping ability was also top-notch. He had one of the most difficult abilities to deal with, the space-manipulation ability.
She vaguely felt that she had been tricked. Although the treasure tree was tempting, it was not worth betting everything on it. However, at this moment, she could not retreat just because she wanted to. She could only walk this path until the end.
“Seal!”
The old man in the long robe drew a barrier with one hand. His words were like a bolt of lightning that descended from the sky. The void shook, and it was as if every star in this space was hiding a killing intent.
He had thought that the human in front of him was just a small rat that he could easily destroy. Clearly, things were not that simple now. The treasure tree was not so easy to obtain, and he had to use his true abilities.
His figure flashed, turning into hundreds of flickering shadows that surrounded Chen Yiming in an unbelievable manner. An invisible killing intent sealed off all possible escape routes.
The sword in each of the figures’ hands underwent a magical transformation. The sword was divided into seven sections, and on each section was a mysterious poisonous curse.
The seven poisonous curses were all different, and each of them had the power to invade the world’s will. After being stacked thousands of times and amplified by seven times, they almost turned the starry sky into a land of death.
At the same time, the shadow of a snake head appeared at the tips of the swords. The intelligent gaze in the snake’s eyes indicated that it was accumulating strength to deliver a fatal blow to its target at any moment.
“He’s going to kill me directly on a spiritual level.”
Chen Yiming’s gaze narrowed, and he was forced to stop his space-jumps. This was because within the range of his super perception, even the furthest place he could reach was still covered by the invisible killing intent.
When they were close enough, it was not impossible for him to be instantly killed with just a thought. After all, the other party was an existence that could turn an asteroid into dust with a casual strike.
At this moment, the beautiful woman in formal dress said, “Human, stop your useless struggles. The three of us didn’t use our true abilities earlier.”
“I’m not trying to hide anything. I just didn’t want the treasure tree to be damaged, so I let you jump around for a while.”
“If you are willing to hand over the treasure tree now, we can pretend that we never met you and let you live. Otherwise, we can only let you die here.”
Just as he said, the old man did not kill him immediately. The black-cloaked man stood in the air with a smile.
“Seven Snakes Absolute Soul Sword.”
“This is a divine artifact for curses. Any of the curses on it can kill you thousands of times.”
The old man in the long robe said each word calmly, as if to remind Chen Yiming that it was useless no matter how he jumped around when facing the divine artifact.
These words were completely true. The difference between the two of them was no longer something that could be made up for with talent. As long as one was touched by it, the poison curse would invade their spiritual will.
At that time, even the old man in the long robe who had cast the poison curse would not be able to save the people who were affected by it.
At this moment, Chen Yiming’s mind was racing.
“From the way the three blue-skinned humans are chasing after me, their spatial abilities should be exactly the same. They are all biased towards spatial perception.”
“The difference between them and me is that their bodies entered the space-travel distortion directly. They relied on their ability to sense space to determine the location of the corresponding coordinates before leaving the space-travel distortion and returning to normal space.”
“As for me, I can locate the coordinates through the space anchor without my main body getting involved. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. In short-distance space-jumps, their adjustment speed is far inferior to mine, so they can’t do anything to me.”
“However, due to the level of the Space Anchor talent and the difference in the level of cultivation between the two sides, the three blue-skinned humans can always catch up to me.”
If his opponents didn’t have the means to kill Chen Yiming so easily, he would be able to toy with them. However, the old man had clearly used the power of the divine artifact to make up for his disadvantage and used a larger range of attacks to restrain him.
“Should I take advantage of the situation and kill one of them first?”
Along the way, the beautiful woman and the black-cloaked man had revealed very little. The old man seemed to be the one making the decisions.
Under normal circumstances, there would be slight spatial fluctuations when the space anchor pierced through the space-travel barrier. It would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the three blue-skinned humans who had sharp spatial perception.
Therefore, the time to deal with the first blue-skinned human was when the old man tried to kill him. At that time, all their attention would be on him and the ring containing the treasure tree.
However, using the ring in his hand to deal with one of the blue-skinned humans would undoubtedly be the easiest for the first target. The other party would not be prepared, but the remaining two blue-skinned humans would not be easy to deal with after they were prepared.
After making his decision, Chen Yiming used the space anchor to fake another space-jump to escape.
At the same time, the consciousness representing his will forcefully split into two. One half remained in his main body, and the other half entered the ring in his hand.
With his current Undying Body talent, he would only truly die if his body and will were destroyed at the same time. When he encountered something he could not fight against, the ring in his hand was equivalent to a life-saving trump card.
Seeing that Chen Yiming didn’t listen to his advice, the old man’s expression darkened.
“Destroy!”
Every shadow shouted at the same time. The trap formed by the Seven Snakes Absolute Soul Sword seemed to be activated, and it created a colorful scene.
Each poison curse automatically became thinner and spread out, instantly filling almost the entire starry sky. The few gaps in between were just illusions and traps.
If Chen Yiming really dared to appear at these gaps, he would fall right into the trap set by the old man and be attacked by an endless stream of poisonous curses.
“Don’t go too hard on him. Don’t break the treasure tree in the other party’s hand.”
The moment the old man made his move, the beautiful woman in the formal dress quickly turned around and reminded him. At their level, killing someone at the fusion realm was as easy as crushing an ant.
“I don’t need you to remind me. Of course I remember. I’ve already deliberately avoided that ring. The main target of the poison curse won’t be such items,” the old man said calmly.
At this moment, his only chance of survival was in the ring space, but he was being watched by the old man, the beautiful woman, and the black-cloaked man.
It could be said that Chen Yiming had no way out. He would definitely be in a desperate situation.
Then, the poison curse completely covered the sky, and Chen Yiming’s figure appeared at a certain spot.
The moment it appeared, the poison curse seemed to have been waiting there in advance. In an instant, it covered his entire body. In the spiritual world corresponding to his eyes, the terrifying poison curse had completed its attack.
In the next moment, his consciousness quickly dissipated, and all the cells in his body were destroyed.
At this point, it was almost certain that Chen Yiming had died. The difference in level of the two sides was too large, and there was no way to resolve the situation after he was poisoned by the curse.
“What a pity. I thought that at the last moment, this talented human would beg us for mercy to save his life.”
The black-cloaked man relaxed and smiled.
“It’s dangerous for you to think that way.”
The beautiful woman frowned.
There was actually another way to deal with the mysterious human who had stolen the treasure tree. That was to let him secretly get involved with the black tide like the three of them.
This way, they would all be on the same side.
“This is not appropriate. There are too many hidden dangers.”
The old man in the long robe also understood what the black-cloaked man meant and directly refused.
Even if Chen Yiming gave up resisting and handed over the treasure tree, he would not hesitate to kill him in the next moment, leaving no room for future trouble.
If they beat up the younger ones and attracted the older ones, they could deal with Chen Yiming at will. The elders behind him could also be dealt with easily by them.
One second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Soon, the hundreds of shadows formed by the old man dissipated. The Seven Snakes Absolute Soul Sword turned back into a single stream of light and returned to his hand.
The poisonous curses that had spread throughout the entire starry sky gradually dissipated, and the void quickly returned to normal. The stars were still shining brightly, and the battle did not cause much of a commotion.
“The other party’s background is mysterious. He might be carrying a shocking talent.”
“But it’s too late to say anything now. They should be dead by now, right? Let’s find that special item and not lose it,” the black-cloaked man replied with a smile.
The old man and the woman in palace robes nodded and began to use their will projections to search for the inconspicuous ring that had been lost in some corner.
“First.”
A laugh suddenly appeared behind the old man.
“What!”
“What happened?”
The expressions of the black-cloaked man and the beautiful woman changed drastically.
Chen Yiming extended a hand and stuck it to the back of the old man’s shirt. His eyes had lost their spirit and were blank.
“How did you do this to him!”
the beautiful woman in the palace dress exclaimed.
The turn of events was too drastic, and it was unbelievable.
Chen Yiming had clearly died under the poison curse. They could be sure of this, but how could he have revived and even launched a sneak attack?
The reason for his revival could barely be explained by the other party’s mysterious identity and the fact that he might have a rare item related to his life force. The reason for his sneak attack was his mysterious spatial ability.
The old man’s situation was the most incomprehensible.
This was similar to how an ordinary person on the blue planet had ambushed and killed a country’s martial master. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a turn of events would happen.
“Be careful.”
The smile on the man’s face had disappeared.
These words were a reminder to himself and the beautiful woman that what was happening now could also happen to them.
The air was dead silent. The stars in the sky seemed to be quietly observing the corpse of the old man. His life force was still there, but the consciousness that represented his will had disappeared.
Chen Yiming retracted his hand from the old man’s body. The ring trembled for a moment before falling silent.
“There are still two people left.”
He narrowed his eyes and retrieved the space anchor, then threw it at the beautiful woman.
In the next moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared.
“Boom!”
A dazzling divine light blossomed from the woman’s position.
Where the divine light shone, a white world appeared. The void froze, time stopped, and the spatial fluctuations stopped. It was as if a pause button had been pressed.
“As expected, the same method won’t work the second time.”
Chen Yiming had only tested the waters, but the woman’s reaction was too intense. He hadn’t planned to teleport over.
Soon, the beautiful woman in formal dress walked out of the space-travel distortion and appeared beside the black-cloaked man.
The two of them looked at each other and realized something. Perhaps they had misunderstood something. At the same time, they reached a decision in silence.
Under Chen Yiming’s surprised gaze, the bodies of the two blue-skinned humans entered the space-travel distortion and disappeared.
Time passed by slowly.
Chen Yiming remained vigilant. He had already marked the location with the space anchor and activated his super perception. He could escape a long distance away at any time.
However, after waiting for a while, instead of the beautiful woman and the black-cloaked man, what awaited him was a commotion from the plate-shaped world.
“Did I scare them away?”
Chen Yiming saw the beautiful woman and the black-cloaked man appear in front of the simple stone platform. They quickly activated the stone platform and entered the space-travel passage.
Soon, even the stone platform flew into the space-travel passage and left.
The encounter with the old man made the beautiful woman and the black-cloaked man willing to risk exposing their involvement with the black tide and leave.
They no longer wanted the treasure tree and they no longer cared about the mess left behind in this galaxy, leaving behind a large number of dumbfounded dark creatures.
…
Half an hour later.
The dark creatures in the plate-shaped world, whether they were hiding or escaping into the starry sky, were all dealt with by Chen Yiming.
None of these dark creatures could use spatial abilities, so their speed in the starry sky was as slow as a snail compared to Chen Yiming.
He could just use the space-jumps to get near to them, and use just one punch to kill one and destroy another with one kick. Pure physical strength could completely destroy the dark creatures and the Undying Marks in their bodies.
The black nets around the three dragon gods’ bodies became weaker and weaker as time passed, until they could use their own strength to break free.
“Ah!”
The three dragon gods gathered again, but other than sighing, they did not know what to say.
In the plate-shaped world, this human from the Peacekeeping Alliance had undoubtedly saved all the living beings, including the three dragon gods.
However, facing Chen Yiming, who could repel the black tide, the three dragon gods didn’t dare to mention the treasure tree unless he took the initiative to return it.
As expected, the matter with the treasure tree was left unsettled. After the dark creatures were dealt with, Chen Yiming left without even saying goodbye.
“Big Brother, what should we do?”
The oldest dragon god was silent when faced with the questions from the other two dragon gods.
There were two paths in front of them. The first was to leave the world they were from and enter the unknown deep space. Even if they took the initiative to resist it, the counterattack from the black tide might happen again.
The other was to stay in the plate-shaped world and gamble that the black tide would give up on the world that a member of the Peacekeeping Alliance had interfered in.
However, neither of these paths were good choices.
“Let’s wait and see!”
After a long time, the oldest dragon god looked at the other worlds that were still controlled by the black tide. The plate-shaped world had been saved, but those worlds had not.
The white cat and the golden ape approached the blue elk.
“Did Master say anything to you?” they asked anxiously.
After all, they had not made much contributions and there was no chance for them to be noticed. The problem of the black tide’s counterattack seemed to have been resolved just like that.
At that time, all the terrifying creatures had seen the three blue-skinned humans walk out of the space-travel passage created by the stone platform. When they returned, only two of them were left.
No one knew where the missing person had gone, but when the two blue-skinned humans rushed into the space-travel passage, they could be said to have escaped in a sorry state.
“I’ve been waiting here under orders,” the blue deer was also in a low mood and replied casually.
When the golden ape and the white cat heard this, they looked disappointed.
From the blue elk’s words, it wasn’t difficult to tell that it hadn’t been able to meet Chen Yiming again. Everyone was the same. Because of the sudden counterattack from the black tide, they had lost a lot of opportunities to demonstrate their abilities.
…
At the first industrial base, Chen Yiming held a sphere in his hand, and a long sword hung from his back.
The sphere was the core of the inner world left behind after the old man’s body automatically disintegrated. The longsword was the divine artifact, the Seven Snakes Absolute Soul Sword. It was similar to an ordinary sword unless it was activated.
For some reason, the ring space had been completely sealed off. He wanted to go in and take a look, but he did not have the chance to do so.
“The outer wall that forms this inner world is clearly different from the previous demon god, the devouring demon, and the dragon gods. Not only is it so strong that it can’t be destroyed, but there are also a large number of mysterious patterns.”
Chen Yiming observed it briefly before putting it away.
He did not need to study how to cultivate. He only needed to increase his talent level. Once he reached a certain level, he would naturally advance.
Soon, as more than 100 spaceships slowly floated into the air, the leaders of the various countries gathered in front of the first industrial base.
“I’ll enter the dark forest world first and deal with the world’s will. It won’t take long. After that, the spaceships of the various countries can take action,” Chen Yiming said to the leaders of the various countries.
As soon as he finished speaking, the leaders of the various countries, including the top leader of the Daxia Kingdom, were all excited.
To the Daxia Kingdom, the two spaceships that were close to being completed, other than the core spaceship that was not moving, could be arranged to go there.
Other large countries could also send a spaceship to go there. They could not appear stronger than the Daxia Kingdom, but they had to show that they were stronger than the small countries.
As for the small countries, they could only temporarily modify the interior of the spaceships. The living area would be reduced, and the population would be temporarily squeezed out. The remaining areas would be used as storage for black technology materials.
“Ever since the arrival of the black tide, I’ve been feeling both afraid and happy. I don’t have many peaceful days, and I’m on tenterhooks all day.”
“Now, we can finally live a relatively stable life. However, it seems that the development of the human technology system will be inseparable from the black tide for a long time to come. Will this cause a misunderstanding?”
A leader of a small country thought to himself.
He was worried that in the future, when humans encountered other civilizations on their journey through the starry sky, they would be parading too many traces of the black tide. If the other party misunderstood the situation, it would be a problem to explain.
Soon, Chen Yiming left. He chose a random space-travel passage and entered the dark forest world. The spaceships from the various countries also set off for the first time.
Due to the lack of time, a ceremony for the expedition was not able to be held. Only the news stations from various countries had the announcers broadcast the breaking news.
The leaders of the various countries did not go together with the spaceships. Instead, they stayed in the control center of the industrial base and watched as the spaceships from the various countries entered the space-travel passage.
