Chapter 431: Taking Advantage of Others

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the boundless dark universe, on a large planet where extraordinary power had appeared, there were many tall towers. From time to time, the roars of ferocious beasts would shake the ground.

However, now that this planet welcomed a group of uninvited guests, the forbidden area suddenly seemed as ordinary as a backyard.

The space around the planet was surrounded by warships. cannons were aimed at various areas on the planet.

Some areas were riddled with holes, and the ground cracked open. Mountains sank into the ground, and corpses were lying everywhere. The air was dyed red.

Suddenly, a huge creature charged into space, trying to break through the encirclement of the warships.

“Boom!”

In the blink of an eye, a cannon successfully hit its target.

The huge creature shattered into pieces in the sky, and its flesh and blood fell to the ground. Immediately, a large number of extraordinary creatures swarmed over, ignoring the danger.

On this planet, there was a chance that devouring creatures stronger than oneself would allow one’s bloodline to evolve and one would obtain a chance to break through further.

In reality, the main reason was that their power all came from the same source. The essence of this bloodline evolution was to rely on the accumulation of the defeated creatures, not purely rely on one’s own cultivation.

Soon, as this huge creature was killed, another humanoid creature holding a staff soared into the sky. With its small body, it wanted to escape from this land amidst the chaos.

This type of humanoid creature was known as sorcerers. They were about seven feet tall and had destructive power in their bodies. They were one of the extraordinary creatures on this planet.

The towers that covered the entire planet were the bases of sorcerers. They usually had a supreme deterrence, and even terrifying beasts were unwilling to provoke them.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Dozens of interstellar missiles shot out from the warship, aiming straight at the sorcerer who was trying to escape. Furthermore, they would automatically adjust their direction and lock onto their target.

“Oh no! I’ve been discovered!”

The sorcerer was forced to counterattack. A meteorite was summoned out of thin air in front of him to serve as his defense. The meteorite was nearly 10 kilometers in diameter, but the sorcerer, who was usually high and mighty, now seemed to be panicking.

On the observation platform of a tall tower on the surface.

Seeing this situation, a few sorcerers with wrinkles all over their faces cried out, “Why did such a disaster happen just because we secretly sent a signal to outer space?”

With the arrival of the machine civilization, the extraordinary power that this planet was so proud of would be crushed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Even the sorcerer god who ruled over the planet was no match for the endless bombardment from the cannons and was forced to return to the world’s core to defend it.

“Those warships are too powerful. In front of them, our airships are like the difference between an ordinary person and a sorcerer.”

An old sorcerer’s face was ashen, and his spirits had fallen to rock bottom.

On this planet, the boundless star-filled space was referred to as the universe. The universe had always been a very popular research area. Of course, there had been many disasters that resulted from this.

While there had been cases of attracting demons from outer space and causing terrifying incidents in the past, this was the first time the entire planet was in danger of being destroyed.

However, even with this one incident, the consequences were not something that this planet could withstand. The outcome might be complete annihilation.

As he spoke, “Rumble…”

Dozens of interstellar missiles exploded against the huge meteorite. The meteorite turned into rubble and fell, revealing the panicked figure behind it.

This was the strongest finishing move of this sorcerer — Meteorite Descent. It was what they relied on to dominate the entire planet. Usually, this attack would affect a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.

However, the machine civilization’s interstellar missiles could easily deal with them.

The next moment.

As the sorcerer was still in a daze, a pillar of light descended from the sky, hitting the center of his relatively small figure. Soon, the pillar of light disappeared, but the figure did not reappear.

With one blow from the main cannons, the sorcerer had been defeated.

Many sorcerers in the towers on the planets gasped when they saw this scene. This was not giving them any way out. They could not even escape.

At the same time, a heavy feeling appeared in their hearts. This planet was doomed.

…

At the same time, in the depths of the fleet of warships in space, there were a few spaceships that looked different from the other warships.

These warships were not big, but they had the highest level of technology. Each of them corresponded to a mechanical life form, and they were controlling the huge fleet of warships.

Facing the unfamiliar intruder approaching from a few light years away, the mechanical life forms started a discussion.

“A spaceship has barged in. From the feedback from the warning device, the intruder is probably not weak.”

“Should we get rid of the other party? After all, we’re trying to surround and kill the star spirit. This can’t be exposed. It’ll be very troublesome if it’s exposed.”

“There’s no need to be so nervous. Order is collapsing in the remote areas of the various galaxies. Who will know if it was the black tide or us?”

“We’ll observe the situation then. If the intruders don’t know what’s good for them, we’ll kill them. If they were just passing by and accidentally entered, it’s fine. We might not be able to completely hold them back.”

“Alright, no problem.”

“Agreed.”

Before long, the mechanical life forms reached a consensus not to take any action.

Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai’s spaceship was quickly approaching the battlefield in outer space. Neither of them had taken the initiative to communicate, so they didn’t know each other’s motives.

…

Time passed by slowly.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, an invisible ripple spread out, and the space around it fluctuated violently. Then, a huge black hole appeared in the air, and a spaceship flew out.

The cabin door opened and Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai walked out of the spaceship.

“A few mechanical life forms. Are they attacking the star spirit?”

Chen Yiming glanced at it and sensed the hostility from the world’s will aimed towards outer space.

This was the same result as him defeating the will of the dark forest world. However, this world’s will was trapped by an unknown method and could not manifest normally.

Similar to the black tide’s invasion, they did not allow the star spirit to have a chance to contact the star alliance.

“So it’s just a few scum from the machine civilization. The threat of the black tide is imminent. We can’t let this matter go.”

Gao Shuai pretended to be angry.

His words were heard by the mechanical life forms at the same time.

In an instant, the main cannons of countless warships turned around and pointed at the two of them. A terrifying energy fluctuation appeared from the black muzzles.

“Humans, mind your own business.”

A voice sounded across the silent space, warning the two people who had suddenly appeared.

The reason why they did not fire immediately was very simple. Gao Shuai’s spaceship had the ability to jump through space, and was of a higher level than the spaceships of the mechanical life forms.

It was not that the machine civilization did not have spaceships of this level, but that these mechanical life forms did not have the financial resources to buy one.

Clearly, the level of the spaceship made it impossible for the mechanical life forms to kill the two of them silently.

Chen Yiming cooperated with Gao Shuai and frowned.

Now, the two of them were the side that represented order and coincidentally encountered a few mechanical life forms that had ill intentions towards a living planet. They were preparing to uphold justice and rescue the trapped star spirit.

That’s right, he and Gao Shuai were preparing to take advantage of the situation and kill a few mechanical life forms before snatching the essence energy gathered by the star spirit.

At the same time, the confrontation in outer space was seen by many powerful creatures on the planet.

“Someone from the same species as the sorcerers?”

a beast took a deep breath and said in shock.

This was not entirely good news for the other species on the continent.

If the planet was saved because of this, the sorcerers would undoubtedly rise to a supreme status. Even the humans who could not become sorcerers would not have the same status as before.

“Are we saved?”

A sea demon appeared from the surface of the sea and felt a little reassured.

The sea demons did not have an existence that reached the level of a god, and their status on this planet was only slightly above average. Therefore, they felt that survival was the most important.

In their hearts, they did not care which species would rule this planet after resolving the threat of its destruction.

In the towers all over the planet,

when they saw that the main cannons of the warship had changed directions but held their fire for a long time, they immediately became excited.

“So it turns out that there are humans from other lineages among the vast universe.”

An old sorcerer knelt on the observatory and cried.

The young sorcerers beside him did not feel much, but they also knelt down. Even if they had to squeeze out their tears, they had to put on an act.

It was not only the humans on the blue planet who had the thought of pursuing eternal life. The sorcerers also had the same thought. When they saw the appearance of the humans who could dominate the galaxy, it was as if they saw hope of extending their lifespan.

After all, the gods of the sorcerer lineage only had a longer lifespan than ordinary sorcerers. They were far from reaching the level of eternal life and would still die of old age.

Under the ground,

the sorcerer god and the Heaven Devouring Divine Bird, guarded the core.

The star spirit, which was the core of the world, was currently sealed in a cage. It was a special method that the machine civilization used to suppress the star spirits.

Unlike the excited expressions of the two gods, the star spirit became abnormally angry after sensing Chen Yiming’s aura. This person’s aura had been blacklisted by the star alliance.

However, due to his special spatial ability, the star alliance could not mobilize too many people to chase after him, so they did not publicize the matter.

Even the fact that Chen Yiming had killed star spirits was something that not many people in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy knew about at the moment. Most of the information was kept within the star alliance.

…

In the dark space.

“Since the two of you don’t know what’s good for you, we can only kill you!”

When the mechanical life forms expressed their intention to start a battle, black balls appeared in the air and surrounded Chen Yiming, Gao Shuai, and the spaceship.

This was a void lightning that could kill gods. It was a common ambush method in the war between gods. Under the continuous explosions, one could only withstand it head-on or be blown to pieces.

Because the machine civilization was best at winning with numbers, when one saw the ambush method of the void lightning, one could basically confirm that it was done by those from the machine civilization.

Seeing this, Gao Shuai smiled and said, “So it’s still the same. If the quality isn’t good, you will make up for it in quantity. These mechanical life forms are considered weak among the machine civilization, so they aren’t powerful figures.”

Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning flew into his hand.

In the next moment, an explosion rang out. A terrifying energy fluctuation caused cracks to appear in the air. This was a power that could shatter space.

However, just as all the energy fluctuations were about to spread out, they were forcefully suppressed by an invisible force. Black smoke rose from it instead.

Chen Yiming had forcefully suppressed it.

“Brother, your move is really crazy!”

Gao Shuai shouted in his heart with an envious expression.

He also wanted to pretend to be cool, but in the end, his strength did not allow him to do so. If it was anyone else, they would have exploded. After all, the void lightning could really kill a god.

However, the guy he was with could not be trifled with. His physique was too terrifying.

On the planet, on each tower’s observation platform, there was a screen created using magic power that displayed the real-time scene of the battlefield in space.

When they saw the void lightning explode and be suppressed, countless sorcerers were dumbfounded.

“This, he’s too strong. The difference between gods is too great!”

Not long ago, a sorcerer god had been ambushed by a bolt of void lightning in the space battle. His body had been torn to pieces on the spot, and cracks had appeared in his inner world.

There were also terrifying ferocious beasts in the forbidden area that wanted to charge into space, but they were accidentally ambushed by a bolt of lightning and exploded into nothingness.

Even what was left behind was swallowed up by the spatial rifts and thrown into the spatial distortion. There was no hope of survival.

However, this human had actually held the void lightning with his bare hands and remained unharmed.

Under the ground, the sorcerer god and the Heaven Devouring Divine Bird were also stunned.

They had never expected it to be like this. It was as if the person who had arrived was far stronger than they had imagined.

The star spirit sensed Chen Yiming’s strength and fell silent.

What was the difference between this and being targeted by a few mechanical life forms? It was similar to an ordinary person being targeted by a tiger after being targeted by a ferocious wolf.

In any case, the ferocious wolves and tigers were not beings that ordinary people could deal with when they were unarmed.

After the lightning in the air fell silent,

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Almost all the warships were fired in an instant, and the cannons launched attacks against Chen Yiming.

The cannons had a terrifying power that could destroy planets. The huge holes in the ground that almost ran through the entire world were the work of the cannons.

The forbidden areas on the planet were razed to the ground by a single cannon. Any supernatural power would be wiped out by the resulting explosion of energy.

In fact, as long as the mechanical life forms wanted to, they could instantly blow the entire planet to pieces.

“Buzz.”

Chen Yiming didn’t say anything. He took a step forward and faced the attack head-on.

Then, from a distance, he threw out punch after punch. Countless fist shadows faced the countless cannons. This was a head-on collision between individual cultivation and advanced technology.

Individual cultivation often represented quality. It was difficult for one person’s strength to compare to heaven and earth, or to compare to an entire galaxy, or to compare to the entire universe.

For technology, if the quality was insufficient, they could often use quantity to make up for it. It would only consume more resources. This was a difference in philosophy between the two paths.

However, it was not that the quality of the technological equipment was not good. It was said that there was a black hole-level weapon that could directly devour an entire galaxy.

To devour the entire Hidden Dragon Galaxy at once, was something that even the territorial lord could not do. It could be seen that there was no difference in the upper limit of strength for the two paths.

“How terrifying!”

Other than Gao Shuai, everyone else who was paying attention to the space battlefield was frightened. Their expressions changed drastically.

Although they would not be able to withstand even a single blow from the cannons, the cannon’s attacks were not a match for the fist shadows at all, and could almost be said to have collapsed upon the first contact.

In addition, countless fist shadows shattered all of the cannons and landed among the warships.

The defense of these warships was too weak for Chen Yiming. The energy barrier they had was like paper to him, and in the blink of an eye, the space was filled with fragments of the destroyed warships.

Only a few warships had dodged the attacks and barely survived in the end. Those were the warships with the mechanical life forms. However, even if they were not destroyed, it was clear that they were severely damaged.

“That’s enough. Be gentle.”

Gao Shuai hurriedly stepped forward and reminded him softly.

If they even destroyed the few warships that the mechanical life forms were on, the devices to store the essence energy would definitely all be broken. That would not be in line with their original intentions.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming stopped.

He had already held back his strength. Otherwise, he would have destroyed them all long ago.
