Chapter 429: Escape and Pursuit

As the injured body of the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet couldn’t withstand it anymore, he was blown up by Chen Yiming’s punch in space. At the same time, the close combat between the treasure tree and the demonic vine on the Flying Cloud Planet quickly ended.
Perhaps the female spirit had given the treasure tree a special item, but in short, the demonic vine had lost unbelievably quickly, shocking the entire Flying Cloud City.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the demonic vine disappeared, leaving behind only a seed.
“It actually condensed into a divine seed.”
Someone exclaimed as he watched the treasure tree turn into a young man and put away the seed left behind by the demonic vine.
Powerful plant life forms had the ability to change the cultivation environment of an area. In other words, if they were subdued, they would definitely become a good support for one’s cultivation.
As for the divine seed, it was a rare growth-type treasure.
For example, plant life forms that had already grown up could only coexist temporarily in a symbiotic manner, just like how He Tianzheng controlled the demonic vine.
As for divine seeds, if they were implanted into the bodies of living creatures when they first embarked on the path of cultivation when they were young, they could cultivate and grow together.
Not only would they have astonishing combat strength at the same level, but it was equivalent to fighting two against one. When they broke through to the star condensation realm, the situation of forming an inner world was also different from normal.
A plant life form that had grown up from a divine seed could easily support the inner world. It would greatly reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the star condensation realm.
Secondly, having a plant life form equivalent to the world tree in the inner world was a qualitative change. It was an improvement in quality, and it laid a sufficient foundation for a higher level breakthrough in the future.
“The divine seed is something that only appeared a few times in the history of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. It’s said that unless it’s a coincidence, it’s very difficult even for the territorial lord to provide such cultivation conditions for his descendants.”
When the youths from the other species saw the divine seed, their eyes were filled with jealousy.
Although a divine seed was ultimately an external object and was not as tempting as the physique of a true dragon, it was still enough to make one go crazy over it. It was rare to find a single divine seed in the entire Hidden Dragon Galaxy.
If not for the example of the bloodbath of the Little Roc King and the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet, the experts from the various clans in Flying Cloud City would have rushed forward and fought for it with their own abilities.
“Damn it, could it be that the goal of destroying the space-travel passage was the demonic vine from the start?”
Some of the elders suspected that this was just a trap set up together with Fat Man Gao. In reality, everything had been part of their plan.
Otherwise, how could it be possible for an unknown person to suddenly appear and have the means to condense a divine seed? It had to be known that the method to condense a divine seed was something that even the territorial lord of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy did not know about.
Otherwise, the territorial lord would have already arranged for each of his descendants to have a divine seed.
On the open-air observation platform, Qin Hongyue’s gaze stopped on Gao Shuai and Chen Yiming.
Should the Qin clan join the upcoming pursuit?
At this moment, she was wavering in her heart. On the surface, it seemed that the Roc clan alone was not something these two people could deal with.
However, the appearance of the divine seed was a huge variable.
At this moment, Chen Yiming listened to the private discussions of the alien species in Flying Cloud City. On the surface, his expression remained the same, as if he was used to it. He didn’t even seem to pay any attention to the appearance of the divine seed.
Divine seed? It seemed that it was a remarkable treasure that shocked the entire Flying Cloud City.
However, he had so many miniature inner worlds in his body. One divine seed was not enough at all, so it seemed a little useless to him.
“What exactly is the identity of the female spirit? With just this incident of the divine seed, it seems that the level of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy is far from her true level.”
“Then what exactly did she encounter to be sealed into the ring space and then come to a living planet at this level?”
“For some reason, I happened to obtain the ring of the sect master of the Myriad Phenomena Sect? Even after entering outer space, she didn’t leave on her own?”
Chen Yiming thought about many things.
However, the treasure tree might know a portion of the origins of the female spirit, her goal, when she would leave, and so on. However, compared to the female spirit, he was still too weak.
It would be a disaster for the weak to know too much. They were not even qualified to talk to each other as equals.
When the treasure tree turned into a stream of light and returned, Chen Yiming snapped out of his thoughts. It wasn’t bad to maintain his current relationship with the female spirit. At the very least, she hadn’t tricked him before.
…
An hour later, after a few space-jumps, the disc-shaped spaceship moved through the endless space.
Chen Yiming, Gao Shuai, the old butler, and the bull-headed bodyguards were all in the spaceship.
After the battle on the Flying Cloud Planet ended, they hurriedly collected the spoils of war from He Tianzheng and Yin Jueying and set off on their escape.
Although the space-travel passage had been destroyed, the Roc clan could still arrive through a space-travel portal similar to the one on the Flying Cloud Planet and quickly rush over.
Therefore, every minute they stayed there increased the risk of being surrounded.
Gao Shuai hadn’t been able to fulfill his invitation, and the winged female elves hadn’t appeared in the end. Chen Yiming felt a little regretful.
He had originally wanted to have a chance to meet them and interact more with them.
It was said that humans with the winged elf bloodline had the ability to bless others. This special ability came from the true elves and could bring one good luck.
Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by the imminent arrival of the Roc clan.
“The abandoned world?”
“That’s right. In reality, it’s an ancient battlefield that happens to be in the southwest region of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.”
“Because a portion of it is connected to the spatial distortion, even the Roc clan’s elders will find it difficult to surround us inside.”
“Coincidentally, other than the star spirits in the living planets, the essence energy you are looking for also exists in the source mines in the abandoned world. This is much easier to obtain than snatching it from the star spirits.”
Chen Yiming needed a large amount of essence energy. Gao Shuai also needed to stock up on a large amount of essence energy for the fight for the true dragon’s corpse. The two of them quickly reached an agreement.
In the abandoned world, the essence energy obtained would be split 50-50. Because Gao Shuai was a second-rate non-combatant, he was at a disadvantage and would use a device to collect the essence energy.
Gao Shuai continued, “The abandoned world is very special in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. Because it is connected to the spatial distortion, danger and opportunity coexist.”
“Therefore, that’s a true holy land for adventurers. There are many factions active there, and geniuses often appear. The competitive environment is very suitable for growth.”
“In the history of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, there was once a prodigy who carried a deep grudge against his clan. After he entered and exited from there, he developed an invincible aura. Although he was weaker than the true ruler of this galaxy, the territorial lord could not completely suppress this prodigy.”
“It’s said that the genius left the Hidden Dragon Galaxy after taking his revenge. Now, he’s an existence that even the territorial lord needs to look up to.”
Hearing this, Chen Yiming recalled the direction the human spaceship fleet was heading in. Previously, he had considered the lower left corner of the star map.
This abandoned world was indeed very suitable for him and Gao Shuai. The combination of their special abilities could greatly reduce the risk.
This was something that they could not do alone.
For example, Gao Shuai’s combat strength was relatively weak, and the old butler beside him did not reach the level of a genius. In the dangerous abandoned world, did he have to frequently use his prophecy ability to avoid danger?
He would probably not gain much from this, but he would be risking his life.
If Chen Yiming was alone, the efficiency of harvesting the source mines would definitely be inefficient due to the lack of information. It was better to work with Gao Shuai.
Before Chen Yiming could study the spoils of war and discuss more about the situation in the abandoned world with Gao Shuai,
“I finally caught you guys!”
In the dark space, a black bird broke the silence and approached the spaceship from the side.
In its hand was a huge green staff. Its appearance was as black as ink, and its body was comparable to a moving planet. Wherever it passed, it emitted an ominous sound, and it was accompanied by a black light.
It had chosen a suitable ambush spot for an expert of the Roc clan in advance. Coincidentally, it bumped into Chen Yiming’s spaceship heading to the abandoned world.
“It looks like we have to take a long detour. The Roc clan won’t give up on the pursuit so easily,” Gao Shuai looked at the black bird and said.
Behind him, the old butler and the bull-headed bodyguards had solemn expressions on their faces.
With Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai around, they were enemies with the entire world. It would already be good if the Gao clan could protect themselves, and they wouldn’t be able to provide any help.
Chen Yiming nodded and said, “We’ve discussed it beforehand. Gao Shuai, control the spaceship and head west. It’s equivalent to staying far away from the direction of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. Make a space-jump and leave first.”
“After I stop the black bird, I’ll use my spatial ability to quickly catch up to you. After that, I’m afraid we’ll have to constantly adjust our direction of travel. We might even have to leave the Hidden Dragon Galaxy and approach the abandoned world from the other side.”
Gao Shuai agreed. “Don’t worry. There’s no warning yet, which means that the stupid black bird isn’t anything to be afraid of. Brother, beat up the stupid black bird as much as you want. I’ll wait for you in front.”
“Boom!”
As Chen Yiming’s figure disappeared from the spaceship, the black bird that was charging at the spaceship stopped in its tracks and flew back.
The fist shadows were like a meteor shower, shining brightly and illuminating the starry sky. A terrifying hole appeared in the black bird’s abdomen, and blood splattered across the starry sky.
The black bird let out a long cry in pain and spat out black flames at the attacker. Mysterious patterns flowed through the flames, as though they wanted to burn Chen Yiming to ashes.
However, the black flames might be very strong, but it was useless if they could not hit him.
Another series of punches that were like a meteor shower hit the back of the black bird that was sent flying, and the black flames that were spewing out suddenly stopped.
This black bird from the Roc clan was at the jade star realm, but it appeared to be extremely clumsy of Chen Yiming. It was beaten up from the start.
A few minutes later, there was an explosion.
The power accumulated from the punches on the black bird’s body caused its huge body to explode into pieces. Blood filled the sky, and its inner world was slightly damaged.
With the power of his fists, he had beaten up a black bird at the jade star realm even though he was at the level of the star condensation realm.
At the same time, his fierce appearance frightened the black bird. After using the inner world to regenerate its body, it immediately turned around and fled. It was afraid that if it stayed any longer, its inner world would be destroyed.
“You’re at the jade star realm. Consider yourself lucky that I didn’t have time to kill you,”
Chen Yiming said calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared. He used the space anchor to jump through space and chased after the spaceship.
After a while.
“Black bird, I’m the ruler of the Qi Planet. Where is he?” An elder with the appearance of an angry lion stepped through the air, carrying a pagoda divine artifact that emitted a precious glow in its hands.
This was specially prepared for Chen Yiming. The pagoda divine artifact could expand to the size of a planet. It was specially made for sealing, and it had previously sealed a spatial ability user.
“I couldn’t stop him. He escaped,” the black bird suppressed its fear and said in a low voice.
It was true that it couldn’t stop him, but what it didn’t want to say out loud was that it was beaten to a pulp. The one who had escaped wasn’t Chen Yiming, but the black bird itself.
“Shall we go together?” the angry lion elder asked.
“No, my clan has its own arrangements. Perhaps that person will pretend to change directions and pass by here again.” The black bird casually thought of an excuse.
“Alright, I’ll give chase first.” After the angry lion elder finished speaking, it stepped into the air and left. It had a speed-based secret technique that could not compare to spatial abilities, but it was still useful for pursuit.
…
Half a day later, “Kill!”
In an area that was outside the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, shouts shook the starry sky. It was unknown how many pursuers had rushed over from all directions.
Of course, most of the people who chased after him were at the star condensation realm or at the fusion realm.
Those at the star condensation realm were too weak for Chen Yiming, and he could easily destroy them with a single punch. Therefore, when facing Fat Man Gao’s spaceship, they didn’t dare to appear and intercept it alone.
There were creatures covered in blood everywhere, and the battlefield extended across an unknown distance.
Some creatures at the level of the fusion realm were trembling. They might die just from the aftershock of the battle, but due to their orders, they had no choice but to be cannon fodder.
At this moment, almost all the creatures who were here were famous in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. The main reason was that Chen Yiming seemed to have too many treasures on him and all of them wanted a share of the loot.
Among them, the humans and the Roc clan had the most people. The humans naturally didn’t want Chen Yiming’s inheritance to be lost. The Roc clan could use the death of the Little Roc King to send out a huge team to participate in the pursuit.
In the disc-shaped spaceship.
“Gao Shuai, there seem to be a lot of people involved in the ambush this time. Is there a problem with your prophecy ability?”
Chen Yiming had made a move and killed a few people at the star condensation realm with his fist. He had intimidated them before returning to the spaceship, causing their pursuers to hesitate.
Gao Shuai smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Although there are a large number of creatures in this ambush, they are all small fries. I’m just playing a game with those old monsters.”
“After all, the humans have never been at peace with each other, and the alien species are also in a similar situation, or even worse. How can the elders of the various species be away for too long? Aren’t they afraid that their hometown will be stolen?”
The old butler and the bull-headed men were not as nervous as when they first left the Flying Cloud Planet.
Although he was not a true core member of the Gao clan, he could still understand the pursuit in front of him.
The further away the spaceship was from the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, the fewer elders there were. The remaining pursuers were almost all people Chen Yiming could deal with.
Chen Yiming’s previous attack had intimidated countless teams that were chasing after them. The reason was that none of the elders were nearby.
Why was this happening?
Because the universe was vast, it was unrealistic to seal off an entire planet. Every time Gao Shuai made a space-jump, he deliberately avoided the direction where his intuition told him that there was danger.
The elders who had the ability to stop the spaceship were being toyed with by Gao Shuai, but they could not find the location of the spaceship.
