Chapter 2121: Wasteland

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei was not worried that Ye Lan would tell others her doubts, because after asking her, he would cut off Ye Lan’s memories about this part.


At this moment, Ye Lan was horrified.


There were only two reasons why Han Fei and the others would ask such a question.


The first was that they were outsiders. They might be from the Divine Capital Dynasty or the Fist Light Mountain, and they had barged in by mistake. Because if they hadn’t, it was impossible for them not to know where they were.


The other possibility was terrifying. They might be from a primitive graveyard.


However, what shocked Ye Lan was that so many strong masters could come out of a primitive graveyard at once. Was it still a primitive graveyard?


More importantly, these people seemed to be humans. Although she couldn’t see through them, if they were not humans, their human forms were too perfect.


Looking at these people’s bearing, they did seem to be different from scavengers, especially the one with a sword on his back. He didn’t look like a simple person.


Ye Lan said, “My lord, our entire domain is called the Chaotic Wasteland. It’s the most remote dangerous place under the rule of the Divine Capital Dynasty in the Sea Realm, also called the Ominous Land.”


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. Sure enough, this was the right place.


Han Fei said, “Continue! Tell me as much as you can. You should know how much I want to hear.”


Ye Lan didn’t dare to disobey, but she couldn’t help asking, “My lord, I only know a little about the situation outside the Chaotic Wasteland. It was all told by others. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I’m only familiar with the No. 8091 Scavenger Sea Area.”


Han Fei said indifferently, “Tell me as much as you can.”


Ye Lan thought to herself, This probably corresponds to my guess. These people don’t seem to care that I know their real background. Are they planning to silence me by killing me?


Unfortunately, she couldn’t disobey them at this moment. She could only hope that for the sake that they were also human beings, these people wouldn’t kill her.


Ye Lan said, “My lords, as far as I know, the Sea Realm is divided into five major divine realms. In addition to the four divine realms in the east, west, south, and north, there is also the Central Sea Divine Realm. We are in the East Sea Divine Realm, where the Divine Capital Dynasty and the Heavenly Race are the strongest forces, ruling this divine realm. In this divine realm, the strong and famous forces include the Divine Capital Dynasty, the Gate of Heaven, the Fist Light Mountain, the East Sword Pavilion, the Ghost Strait, the Infinite Mining Area, the Sky Crater World, and our Chaotic Wasteland…”


When Ye Lan introduced the East Sword Pavilion, the Sword God and Wang Yijian narrowed their eyes slightly. Sword cultivators were only interested in swords.


Therefore, as soon as they heard the name, they knew where their destination was.


In Han Fei’s mind, the old turtle’s voice sounded, “Also, there’s another place called the Demon God Sea…”


When the old turtle spoke, the Sword God and the others all looked at Han Fei. Han Fei’s face immediately turned black, and his consciousness fell on the Soul Sea. “Old Yuan, you’re a f*cking soul now. Don’t you know that? I’m surrounded by emperors. If it weren’t for the fact that my soul is strong, your words would have been heard. I know you have something to say now, but no rush. Since we’ve come out, we have plenty of time for you to say it later.”


Sure enough, the old Snail Emperor couldn’t help but say, “Han Fei! Human hearts are sinister. Will the restless soul body in your body pose a threat to you?”


Han Fei replied, “No.”


At this time, Ye Lan continued, “It’s said that our Chaotic Wasteland was once the place where the gods fought. There are a large number of primitive graveyards here, which are the Origin Grounds that have been dug…”


Tian Yuan interjected, “What is the Origin Ground?”


Ye Lan’s heart turned cold. These people were indeed from a primitive graveyard!


Han Fei secretly said to them via voice transmission, “Our Raging Sea belongs to a Origin Ground, and the Origin Ground that has been attacked and cleared by strong masters is called the primitive graveyard. Senior Tai Yuan, let me ask her.


Tai Yuan’s words were equivalent to admitting their background. Although Ye Lan might have guessed Han Fei’s background, now that Tai Yuan confirmed it, she was in danger.


Tai Yuan nodded quietly. Yes, he was too rash.


Then, Ye Lan continued with an uneasy mood, “Perhaps the aftershock of the divine battle caused the Chaotic Wasteland to be densely covered with ominous aura, causing almost all the marine creatures here to be contaminated by the ominous mist. Ordinary people who touch it will have their souls corroded and go crazy. They don’t recognize their loved ones and only want to swallow the ominous aura. They are unconscious. But fortunately, these ominous creatures have pure crystals in their bodies. These are their life crystals and won’t be contaminated.”


Han Fei keenly noticed a problem. “Why is that fish just now conscious and able to organize defenses?”


Ye Lan said, “A small number of creatures that are contaminated by the ominous aura will produce some intelligence, but it won’t be very high. Most of the time, it’s the instinctive behavior of marine creatures. For example, the Dog Tooth Black Snapper just now, in fact, they will have a leader in the first place. Sacrificing themselves to protect the leader is normal for them. If they want to have some intelligence, they have to at least reach the Sea Establishment realm, but even so, their intelligence won’t be high.”


Han Fei nodded slightly. “OK! Go on.”


Ye Lan said, “For everyone living in the wasteland, the sea surface is an unreachable place. No one can return from the sea surface alive. I don’t know why. My lords, don’t go there easily.”


Han Fei thought to himself, I’ve already been there, but he certainly wouldn’t tell Ye Lan, so he just nodded slightly.


Ye Lan said, “In the Chaotic Wasteland, there are three major forces, which are also the three main cities, namely the City of Scavengers, the City of Wanderers, and the City of Origin. Among them, the City of Origin is a very ancient main city in the Chaotic Wasteland. I don’t know when it was established. As for the City of Scavengers, after the war of gods, there were too many primitive graveyards here, and a large number of Sea Realm powerhouses came to scavenge and then formed a city. As for the City of Wanderers, it’s because the Chaotic Wasteland is remote and extremely dangerous, but it’s liked by some wanderers, so they built a city here. These three big cities all have Monarch-level powerhouses, and there is more than one.”


Han Fei said, “Tell me about the City of Scavengers.”


Ye Lan nodded. “The city of scavengers has 13,000 domains. Our city belongs to the No. 8091 Scavenger Sea Area. I don’t know its range, but if you want to go from one domain to another, you may need to be a Sea Establisher. It’s difficult for Venerables to go from one domain to another alone.”


Han Fei asked, “Do you have a sea chart?”


Ye Lan shook her head. “Even our village leader might not have a precious thing like a sea chart. At most, we have a sea chart of the Mountain City where we are. The Mountain City is a small city that governs nearly a hundred villages, including mine. It has a Sky Opening realm lord guarding it.”


“Oh? A Sky Opening Realm cultivator only governs more than a hundred villages? How many people does your village have?”


Ye Lan said, “Our village has more than 300,000 people. It’s said that the higher the ranking of the villages, the larger the population, and the more strong masters there are.”


Han Fei nodded. “Are they all humans and humanoids?”


Ye Lan shook her head. “There are also some from other races, but humans account for the majority, at least 60%.”


Han Fei asked, “Do you know the history of the human race?”


Ye Lan shook her head. “Perhaps only the village leader knows.”


Han Fei continued. “Then why do you have to cultivate by killing these marine creatures contaminated by the ominous? Although this place is a wasteland, I find the spiritual energy here is actually not weak. Why do you have to take such a big risk to hunt these ominous creatures?”


Ye Lan shook her head slightly. “Our cultivation conditions are relatively difficult. It’s very difficult for us to have enough resources to cultivate. Most of the resources have actually been handed over. Not only our village, but also other villages.”


“Oh? You can get a lot of resources? And you have to hand them over?”


Ye Lan shook her head again. “Actually, there are very few. Apart from cultivating, we just dig mines. When we have some free time, we’ll come out to hunt. The rise and fall of a village depends on the joint efforts of many people. In the Chaotic Wasteland, every once in a while, which is usually a hundred years, there will be a tide wave. We need to dig out the Clean Stone, cast a defensive array, and resist the tide wave. Only then can we survive and think about cultivation and growth. However, we can’t dig enough Clean Stones. In addition, every ten years, the lord will send tax emissaries to collect the Clean Stone and some resources. Therefore, if we want to survive, we have to go out to hunt and grow up quickly…”


Han Fei couldn’t help being moved. It sounded that their lives were even more miserable than the people in the Raging Sea. After tens of thousands of years, many people would probably collapse.


These people were not strong enough. First of all, they couldn’t walk out of the Chaotic Wasteland at all. Even if they had established the sea, the resources they consumed might carry the hope of many people and their lives still might not be good.


Although Han Fei could tell that Ye Lan was deliberately pretending to be pitiful, she was probably afraid that he would kill her!


Han Fei said, “Okay, one last question. Have you heard of the An family?”


Han Fei didn’t expect Ye Lan to know the existence of the An family. In fact, as he expected, Ye Lan shook her head in confusion. Obviously, with Ye Lan’s strength, what she knew was limited.


Han Fei said, “I’m going to cut off this part of your memory. Don’t resist.”


When Ye Lan heard that, she immediately relaxed. She would rather not remember anything. Sometimes, knowing too much was a sin.










Chapter 2122: Little Sea Village

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei exchanged a glance with Ye Lan and entered Ye Lan’s sea of consciousness to intercept this part of her memory. At the same time, he used the Time Reversal Technique to completely destroy this part of her memory.


Ye Lan was stunned for a moment and completely forgot what had just happened. Thinking that she had just been called over by Han Fei, she cupped her hands at Han Fei and the others again and said, “Ye Lan greets you, my lords. I wonder what you have to ask me. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.”


Han Fei thought that he had to ask something, so he asked casually, “Have any scavengers stayed in your village recently?”


Ye Lan was secretly relieved. It seemed that these people were not here to cause trouble, so she immediately said respectfully, “My lord, in the past hundred years, scavengers have come to our No. 8091 Scavenger Sea Area a total of six times. The most recent time should be more than 20 years ago.”


Han Fei nodded slightly. “In addition, have there been any big events in the past hundreds of years near the No. 8091 Sea Area?”


Ye Lan said, “There have been two tide waves in the past three hundred years. There are already signs of the third tide wave because the number of ominous creatures around is increasing. You may need to go to the Mountain City early. In addition, more than 200 years ago, there was a violent earthquake near the No. 8091 Sea Area, which caused the iceberg to collapse once and a cold tide to erupt. Nothing else happened.”


Han Fei nodded. “The tide wave may erupt at any time. The Mountain City is too far away. To avoid unnecessary trouble on the way, we need to go to your village to rest for a few days. Lead the way!”


Ye Lan was briefly stunned, but this time she didn’t think too much about it. When a tide wave came, even a lord-level powerhouse couldn’t stay outside, let alone ordinary scavengers.


Once one was hit by the continuous tide waves and ominous life bodies, it was not unheard of for a lord to die, and it happened more than once.


Therefore, Ye Lan said respectfully, “Master Scavengers, please follow me.”


Han Fei said to the others, “We’d better make ourselves look more like scavengers. Also, Wang Yijian, you’d better put away the sword on your back. It’s too high-profile. These Venerables are ignorant, but it doesn’t mean that the people in their village are ignorant.”


The floating sword behind Wang Yijian instantly disappeared into his body. They already had a little understanding of this place.


Wang Yijian said, “We have to get the sea chart of this place as soon as possible so that we can leave.”


He meant that he had to get the sea chart as soon as possible so that he could go to the East Sword Pavilion.


Tai Yuan said, “There’s no rush. When we reach the village, let’s see how strong their village leader is. Then we’ll ask them for a small-range sea chart to get to know about the surrounding area first. At least, we have to know the route to Mountain City. I don’t think their small village has a large-range sea chart.”


The Snail Emperor said, “I’m a little interested in that tide wave. From what this girl said, it seems that this tide wave is the main reason why these creatures are contaminated by the ominous. To be so feared, how can there be no secret behind it?”


Everyone agreed with the Snail Emperor. A tide wave every hundred years had almost contaminated the entire Chaotic Wasteland. Logically speaking, how could a small village resist it?


However, it seemed that as long as they mined, they could create a defensive array to resist the tide wave. This was interesting. Anyway, the tide wave was coming. As the saying went, it was better to see it than to hear it.


On this side, when Ye Lan returned to her team, she couldn’t help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. Her four teammates immediately surrounded her.


“Sister Lan, what’s going on? Did they…”


Ye Lan winked at the man, indicating for him to keep quiet. It was easy for a Sea Establisher to hear them. Ye Lan was afraid that if they angered Han Fei and the others, they would be doomed.


Since Han Fei and the others were going to the village with her, this was a good thing. At least in the village, with the village leader, they didn’t have to be too afraid of them. As long as the two parties were at peace, they could stay for a few days. If the tide wave really came early, they might have a few more powerful helpers. After all, these people were all Sea Establishers.


Unfortunately, Ye Lan couldn’t see the real strength of Han Fei and the others at all. Otherwise, if she knew that Han Fei and the others were actually all lord-level powerhouses, she might be scared to death.


…


The small village in the No. 8091 Scavenger Sea Area was called Little Sea Village and was beside a mountain. When Han Fei and the others came here, they scanned around with their perception and found that many tunnels and caves had been dug out in the depths of the mountain.


Obviously, this was a mine. The ores were mostly milky white stones that looked like soft jade, but the stones dug out were not pure. Therefore, in this small sea village, there was a container specially used to temper these white jade stones, on which were various arrays.


Judging from the level of the arrays, they shouldn’t be difficult, but the way the arrays were engraved was a little strange.


There was no telling if it was because of the tide wave, but most of the buildings in Little Sea Village were built with this kind of white jade. Perhaps these people built their house like this in case the tide wave would break through the arrays.


It was understandable, but if even the arrays had been broken, it was unlikely that a house could withstand the tide waves.


The Snail Emperor said, “The companion ores of those white jade ores have powerful rebound abilities. It’s not easy to dig them. In some areas, only Venerables can dig them. Most people can only find places with fewer companion ores to dig.”


Tai Yuan also said, “At least, from this mine, it can be seen that even the mines in the Sea Realm are not simple, unlike the spiritual stone mine, which a Venerable can finish digging with some time.”


As soon as Ye Lan and the others reached the village entrance, they saw a group of youths running around and shouting, “Sister Lan has returned safely. Sister Lan has returned safely.”


A group of youths also rushed over. Ye Lan casually waved her hand and hundreds of small energy crystals were sprinkled over, which were crazily snatched by the youths.


These were the energy crystals of the Law Enforcer-realm Dog Tooth Black Snappers. They didn’t contain much energy, but it was enough for these youths to use in their cultivation.


Han Fei and the others finally understood why Ye Lan and the others waited until the leader gave birth to the babies. It turned out that it was for these youths.


The Sword God said, “These youths are not weak. They are only in their teens and have basically reached the Hidden Fisher level. Even in this Chaotic Wasteland, their spiritual heritage has reached level five or six. Whether it’s the strength of their bodies or the potential of their spiritual heritage, they are not weak.”


Han Fei nodded. “Although the environment is harsh, relatively speaking, if it weren’t for the high danger here, their growth speed would have been faster.”


Ye Lan and the others said, “Go find the village leader. Our village has guests.”


“Guest?”


Many youths looked around, searching for their guests.


Han Fei and the others appeared quietly outside the village in an instant. Many people exclaimed, “Master Scavengers?”


As soon as Han Fei and the others appeared, the strong masters who were originally guarding the village were all tense. It might not be a good thing for the scavengers to come.


Only the strong could become scavengers. There were very few Venerable-level scavengers. Now that six scavengers appeared at the same time, it meant that there were six Sea Establishers. There weren’t so many Sea Establishers in the entire Little Sea Village, so these people naturally acted as if they were facing a great enemy.


However, since Ye Lan had brought them back, firstly, the other party was definitely powerful, and secondly, these people should be easy to talk to and not evil.


However, human hearts were sinister. How could they be seen through after one or two interactions? Therefore, everyone was still very afraid.


However, the people of the Little Sea Village seemed to have entertained the scavengers more than once, so when Han Fei and the others appeared, the captain of the guards of the village immediately stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said with a smile, “My fellow cultivators, I am Zhou Hai, the captain of the guards of the Little Sea Village. Welcome to our Little Sea Village. The tide wave may be coming soon. If you don’t mind, can you stay in our Little Sea Village for a while?”


Han Fei nodded slightly. “That’s why I’m here.”


This was Zhou Hai’s test. He wanted to know if Han Fei and the others were here to avoid the tide wave. Hearing Han Fei’s confirmation, he was relieved.


Because the Little Sea Village was very small, when Han Fei and the others arrived, the village leader soon discovered them.


Without any notice, she immediately rushed over from the direction of the underground mine. The village leader was actually a woman. Although she looked a little dirty, she cupped her hands at Han Fei and the others from far away. “Welcome, fellow scavengers. I am Zhao Jing, the village leader of Little Sea Village. Nice to meet you.”


Han Fei bowed slightly. “Greetings, Fellow Daoist. We passed by the No. 8091 Sea Area. Because we estimated that the tide wave might erupt at any time, we came to your village to avoid it.”


Zhao Jing smiled and said, “No problem. Please…”


Kong Shen said to everyone via voice transmission, “They are very nervous. They are just pretending to be polite.”


Han Fei said, “This is just a small village. Six scavengers came at once, who can almost wipe out their village. How can they not be nervous? Since we’re out, we don’t have to care about this little time. Since they are so afraid of the tide wave, and it’s not appropriate for us to walk outside now, why don’t we stay here for the time being and learn more about the Sea Realm?”






Chapter 2123: The Status of the Human Race

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
The arrival of the scavengers attracted many people to secretly watch. Although everyone knew that the scavengers were very strong, who didn’t want to see what a real powerhouse looked like?


Han Fei walked on the way and found that about 60% of the people in the Little Sea Village were human beings, and about 20% were humanoids. Some of them were blue and looked a bit like miniature Avatars. There were also some brawny men who might have the bloodline of giants. These people had big heads, thick bodies, and muscular limbs. It was obvious that they were good at mining.


In addition, there were some humanoids with fish scales on their bodies. The lines on their faces were a little stiff. Anyway, Han Fei and company couldn’t appreciate their appearance.


As for the remaining 20% of people, there were a small number of stonemen and a small number of spidermen… In any case, there weren’t many of such people. Han Fei and company were a bit surprised to see these people but not much.


The village leader’s residence was actually no different from that of ordinary people. It was just a small courtyard built with white jade stones.


Han Fei said, “Fellow Daoist Zhao Jing, I heard that some human history can only be heard among the humans in remote places. Do you know anything about the ancient history of our human race?”


Zhao Jing didn’t expect Han Fei to start the conversation with this topic. Now that Han Fei asked this question, it was obvious that he was not from an ordinary small place. This made Zhao Jing immediately wonder if Han Fei and the others were from a powerful lord’s land or even the City of Scavengers.


But Zhao Jing smiled bitterly at this topic. “Fellow Daoist, how should I address you?”


Han Fei said, “Well, my name is Ren Tianfei.”


Tai Yuan and the others were speechless. What did you lie without the slightest hesitation? Your name is Ren Tianfen?

1

Zhao Jing said, “Fellow Daoist Ren, in remote villages like ours, there are actually very few people who know the ancient history of the human race. If you really want to know this knowledge, I’m afraid you’ll need some historical information from the big cities. Of course, it might also be destroyed. After all, the City of Scavengers is not the main city of human beings.”


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. The City of Scavengers was not a main city of humans, which meant that there were other races in this main city.


Zhao Jing said, “It’s already good enough that a small village like ours can survive. Even if we know that kind of information, it might have been lost after the older generation died.”


Han Fei asked, “Oh! Is life in the Little Sea Village so difficult?”


Zhao Jing smiled bitterly. “We have to pay Clean Stones and resources every ten years with the tax rate of 50%. All the strong masters in the village who have entered the Venerable realm can’t cultivate in the village at will. They have to join the hunting team and hunt for resources themselves. Under such circumstances, it’s actually not easy for us to survive. The City of Scavengers is known as ruling 13,000 domains. But in fact, up to now, there are only at most 10,000 domains left. Many villages have become history under the tide waves and such high taxes, quietly disappearing in the Chaotic Wasteland. Our Little Sea Village is not bad. We happen to have a huge Clean Stone mine, so the village can be relatively peaceful.”


Han Fei couldn’t help frowning. “Has human life reached this level?”


Zhao Jing shook her head secretly, thinking that these people had probably never been to such a remote place. She didn’t know why they thought of coming here to scavenge.


After muttering, Han Fei immediately said, “Leader Zhao, although there is no ancient historical information here, there should be the information of the last tens of thousands of years, right? In addition, I hope you can give me a map of the sea area of Mountain City. We don’t have a map of the sea area here.”


Zhao Jing immediately said, “No problem. I’ll arrange for Zhou Hai to send it to you later. My lords, this is my residence. If you don’t mind, you can stay here for the time being.”


Han Fei asked in confusion, “What about you?”


Zhao Jing looked at the mining area and said, “The tide wave is coming, and the tax collector of Mountain City should be coming soon. The cultivation of the entire village in the past hundred years has consumed a lot of Clean Stones. I have to dig Clean Stones quickly, so I can’t accompany you.”


Han Fei nodded slightly. “Thank you.”


The so-called Clean Stone was the white jade mine, which was the kind of thing that could release pure electric arcs and Ye Lan used to hunt Dog Tooth Black Snappers.


In this village of only 300,000 people, there were as many as 300 Venerables. There might be some who hadn’t returned. The Clean Stone might be very useful, which was why it was so scarce.


Although the arrival of Han Fei and the others caused a stir, no one dared to come to watch. Only the captain of the guards, Zhou Hai, quickly brought a bunch of jade slips over.


Zhou Hai said, “This is all the historical records of our village. If you need anything, you can tell Zhou Lan. She lives next door.”


After Zhou Hai left, the Sword God said, “It can be seen that they are very afraid of us, but they can’t do anything about it. It can be seen that the humans in the Sea Realm have been facing all kinds of dangers, so they have to tolerate a lot of things.”


Kong Shen said, “That Clean Stone seems to be very important. Should we dig some of it?”


Han Fei said, “No, even the village leader is digging. I don’t know if they can survive the so-called tide wave after paying the tax. Even if we need it, we shouldn’t dig it now.”


Tai Yuan said, “That’s right. Once we take away their Clean Stones, the entire Little Sea Village might disappear under the tide waves. More than 300,000 people, most of whom are human beings, will die.”


Han Fei separated the pile of jade slips. “Take a look and see if there’s any useful information.”


Han Fei picked up the sea chart of Mountain City. Little Sea Village was certainly not their destination, nor was Mountain City. However, they had to reach Mountain City first, then get the sea chart of the entire City of Scavengers, or even the entire Chaotic Wasteland. This was their final goal.


Unlike the Sword God and the others who wanted to go to the East Sword Pavilion, Han Fei had two things to do first.


The first was to find the An family. This family probably knew the location of the Raging Sea. If the An family wasn’t eliminated, there would be endless trouble.


The other was to find Old Yuan’s body. Old Yuan was also in the Sky Opening realm. If he really returned to his body, his strength would be extraordinary. However, this was another matter. As for why Old Yuan was sealed, where he was sealed, and whether it was easy to find his body again, he still had to consider.


When Han Fei scanned around with his perception, he immediately imprinted the huge sea map in his heart. Although the sea map was not very complete, Mountain City was the center of the sea map, which was about 300 million kilometers away from the Little Sea Village.


For Han Fei and the others, this was not a long distance. Since the location had been confirmed, if nothing happened along the way, they would arrive in a day.


Even for Sea Establishers, it wouldn’t take them more than a few days.


Around the Little Sea Village, there were about 40 villages marked out. Most of these villages lived by mines, and their lifestyle was probably similar to the Little Sea Village. The proportion of humans should be similar.


Half a day later.


After they finished reading all the historical records of Little Sea Village, they had a basic understanding of the Chaotic Wasteland.


There were no records of the origin and development of the human race in these historical records. The human race’s history could only be traced back by about 30,000 years. When Little Sea Village was established, there were actually as many as a million humans here.


However, in such an environment, on the one hand, they needed to dig ores, on the other hand, they needed to build the village and deal with ominous creatures. With so many difficulties, when the Little Sea Village was completed, the population had been reduced by more than half.


Later, after the village was built, more humanoids of other races joined in. After tens of thousands of years of recuperation, there were seven or eight Sea Establishers.


Unfortunately, the conditions were difficult in the past, and many of them died resisting the tide waves.


As for the tide wave, it was a dark tide. When the tide wave came, the entire Chaotic Wasteland would fall into darkness. They had to resist it with Clean Stones and fight ominous creatures, which required a lot of Clean Stones.


Of course, there was no absolute good or bad. If a village could hold on, the harvest after the battle would be a large number of energy crystals, enough for a village to digest for decades or even decades. If they were lucky, it might even be a hundred years.


Secondly, in the sea area under the jurisdiction of the City of Scavengers, the human race didn’t have a high status and could be directly understood as miners. In these 10,000 domains, there were not many people who could walk from the villages to the lords’ small cities, and there were even fewer who could walk from the lords’ small cities to the main city. However, many people worked hard for this. In their opinion, in the main city, there was a possibility of becoming a strong master, and then they could better protect their village.


And the strong people they thought were actually mostly scavengers.


In fact, Han Fei knew this way of growth very well. He had walked all the way from the Heavenly Water Village to the Raging Sea, so did those people from the villages.


As for the City of Scavengers, it was said that it was controlled by a human-like race called the Ten Thousand Scale Clan. The city lord was called the Ten Thousand Scale Emperor, the ruler of the City of Scavengers, and also the strongest person.


The city lord controlled 132 small cities, and the masters of the small cities were lords. Every lord controlled a hundred domains, and it was recorded that their strength was all in the Sky Opening realm.


After reading the information, Han Fei and the others’ expressions changed. This meant that there were Monarchs in the City of Scavengers, and there were as many as 132 Sky Opening Realm powerhouses.


This number really stunned Han Fei and the others. This was just the f*cking City of Scavengers. There were three such huge cities in the Chaotic Wasteland. Didn’t it mean that even the most remote Chaotic Wasteland of the East Sea Divine Realm had three Monarchs?


Tian Yuan couldn’t help but sigh. “Sure enough, the Sea Realm is a real great world.”





Chapter 2124: Collect Tax

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Even if Han Fei and the others were together, they didn’t disturb each other in cultivation.


Han Fei pretended to enter a cultivation state, but in fact, he was immersed in his thoughts. After sealing his soul, he asked the old turtle, “Okay, tell me what you want to say!”


The old turtle immediately said, “I know a little about the East Sea Divine Realm. My original body is sealed in the Godfiend Sea, not far from the Chaotic Wasteland.”


Han Fei said, “The Godfiend Sea? It doesn’t sound like a good place. It’s probably no better than the Chaotic Wasteland. Tell me, how far is the Godfiend Sea from the Chaotic Wasteland?”


The old turtle said, “Not far, not far. The Godfiend Sea and the Chaotic Wasteland are adjacent. No wonder I was summoned there by you. It turns out that we are next door.”


Han Fei was lost for words. “Who’s next door to you? We’re separated by the entire Chaotic Wasteland. However, since your sealed place is next to the Chaotic Wasteland, you should know the surrounding environment, right? The first thing I’ll do is not to find your original body. You’ve waited for so many years. Why don’t you wait a few more years? Wait for me to settle down in this Chaotic Wasteland first.”


“Huh? You want to settle down in the Chaotic Wasteland? This is not a good place. The border of the East Sea Divine Realm, the Chaotic Wasteland, the Godfiend Sea, and the Infinite Mining Area are all better than this place. My suggestion is that you can go directly to the Divine Capital Dynasty that is the most prosperous.”


Han Fei said leisurely, “If I don’t solve the An family and protect the Raging Sea first, how can I go to the Divine Capital Dynasty?”


The old turtle said, “You want to solve the An family? It’s a big family with Monarchs. If the An family is a power in the Chaotic Wasteland and has at least two Monarchs, it must be one of the three major cities. It’s very likely to be a city lord. Although I don’t know much about the situation in the Chaotic Wasteland, I know that a city lord-level powerhouse is not someone you can fight easily.”


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. “Why? You lived next to the Chaotic Wasteland, but you don’t even know the situation in the Chaotic Wasteland?”


Han Fei now understood that Old Yuan was actually only at the level of a small lord. He used to think that Old Yuan was very strong, but now it seemed that Old Yuan’s status wasn’t very high.


Old Yuan even said that he had a great opportunity for him. What great opportunity could a small lord have? Even if he wanted to go to the Godfiend Sea, he couldn’t rush in without knowing anything. Instead, he should understand that place first before entering it.


Old Yuan’s voice was excited. “We turtles usually don’t move. Before the Godfiend Sea was sealed, we rarely came to the Chaotic Wasteland. This place is very strange. You should take that tide wave seriously. In fact, this thing wasn’t caused by the war of gods. And the Chaotic Wasteland isn’t a place that appeared after the war of gods.”


“Oh? Tell me about it.”


Han Fei was immediately interested. This was different from what Ye Lan said. However, Ye Lan was only in the Venerable realm. She didn’t know much. What she knew was either what others wanted them to know or hearsay. It was impossible for her to compare to a native of the Sea Realm like Old Yuan.


Old Yuan said, “The Chaotic Wasteland has existed for millions of years. The history of the tide wave is as long as the Chaotic Wasteland. However, the frequency of the tide wave outbreak was very low in the past. Later, strong masters chased in to find the source of the tide wave. As far as I know, in the depths of the Chaotic Wasteland, the source of the tide wave should be extremely terrifying. This is why a god battle broke out here. Of course, the so-called god battle is not the battle where the gods died. That battle is not here at all, nor can it be here. Otherwise, the entire East Sea Divine Realm would have been destroyed.”


Han Fei was lost for words. “Are you serious? This Chaotic Wasteland is not small. How vast is the territory of a main city? Can it be destroyed?”


Old Yuan said, “It can afford a war of gods, but it’s definitely not enough to afford a war with so many creatures involved. Anyway, just listen to me. If you’re not strong enough, don’t trace the source of the tide wave. Look at the three big cities in the Chaotic Wasteland now, even the Monarchs can’t solve the tide wave. You know how terrifying the source of this thing is.”


Han Fei nodded slightly. He believed the old turtle’s hint. If the Chaotic Wasteland had such a long history, it would be a decent history. And what Ye Lan said was that after the war of gods, the Origin Ground that had been explored formed primitive tombs and fell here. That didn’t seem right.


After all, it was said that the Origin Grounds were in the Sea of Stars, so the Chaotic Wasteland should be a strange space that could connect to the Sea of Stars. This place should be more like a teleportation door. However, for some reason, this space was invaded and enveloped by tide waves, which resulted in its current appearance.


Of course, this was just Han Fei’s own guess. The real answer might not be clear even to the old turtle, but the history of the Chaotic Wasteland that the old turtle mentioned was definitely more accurate than Ye Lan’s.


Han Fei said, “I won’t care about the tide wave for the time being, and I don’t have the ability to explore the secrets of its source. However, I’m not in a hurry to go to the Godfiend Sea. Although the Chaotic Wasteland is not suitable for survival, it’s only relative. The tide wave only comes once every hundred years. It’s coming soon. After this time, I’ll be like a fish in water here. Even if the ominous creatures’ strength exceeds mine, it’s nothing to me. Perhaps this place is more suitable for me.”


Knowing that he couldn’t convince Han Fei for the time being, the old turtle reminded him in the end, “In that case, you have to be careful not to provoke a Monarch. That’s a realm that neither of us has experienced. The means of a Monarch might exceed our imagination.”


Han Fei said, “I’m not stupid. Don’t you know anything else about the Chaotic Wasteland? For example, about the human race…”


When Han Fei asked this question, his heart suddenly stirred. Someone came from outside.


…


“Where is the leader of the Little Sea Village, Zhao Jing?”


Outside Little Sea Village, three Sea Establishers descended with a dignified look. On closer inspection, these three people were covered in dark green scales, including their faces, but the scales on their faces were more exquisite. These three people also had tails. There was no telling what they evolved from. Their tails looked a bit like dragon tails. Han Fei suspected that they had dragon bloodline.


In short, one could see with the naked eye that their bodies contained extremely terrifying energy. They must be members of the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Their characteristics completely matched the description of the Ten Thousand Scale Race in the historical records of Little Sea Village.


Swish ~


Zhao Jing stepped to the entrance of Little Sea Village and said respectfully, “Zhao Jing greets the three envoys. Clean Stones have been prepared. Please take a look.”


At this moment, Han Fei and the others stopped cultivating and looked at the three powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Scale Race with interest.


Because Han Fei and the others were of a high level, the three of them couldn’t discover them at all.


At the entrance of the village, Zhou Hai and the others’ eyes turned red when they saw Zhao Jing take out a huge amount of Clean Stones. They dug them out day after day, but half of them were taken away in one go. Anyway, every time the Tax Envoys came, they would be depressed for a while.


Zhao Jing didn’t look like a king at all. With her personally mining, they finally dug enough Clean Stones.


However, when the three Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses saw the Clean Stones given by Zhao Jing, they couldn’t help but frown.


The leader shouted, “Why is there still 30% of the original ores? Are you trying to trick me?”


Zhao Jing hurriedly said, “I dare not, Master Tax Envoy. Although there are 30% of the original ores, after refining them, the number will definitely not be reduced at all. Please make an exception, Master Tax Envoy. Many strong masters of our village died in the last tide wave, which reduced our mining speed. Besides, the cultivation of the villagers of Little Sea Village also needs…”


“That’s enough! I don’t want to listen to your explanation. Anyway, the original ores just won’t do. Either bring me the refined Clean Stone, or Little Sea Village will pay 10% more tax this time.”


“What? Ten percent more?”


Zhou Hai’s expression changed drastically. “Master Tax Envoy, the tide wave is coming. We haven’t had the time to temper our own original ores. If you tax us additionally, our Little Sea Village will be doomed!”


The Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouse’s eyes turned cold. “That’s just your excuse. Every village said so to me, but which of you is really destroyed? Also, don’t challenge my decision again. Otherwise, 70%…”


Zhou Hai was furious and was about to say something when Zhao Jing shouted, “Zhou Hai, shut up.”


Zhao Jing’s pupils were constricted. After a few seconds of silence, she ordered the entire village, “Everyone, bring out all the Clear Stones you have, as well as the energy crystals.”


The Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouse said indifferently, “You only have half an hour. After collecting your tax, I have to go to the next village. There’s still at least half a month before the next tide wave. You still have time to dig.”


Zhao Jing gritted her teeth and shouted again, “Hurry up, give them all to me within half an hour.”


Zhou Hai was furious and almost went crazy. Zhao Jing was gambling with the lives of the entire village! Even if they didn’t sleep or rest, they might not be able to make it in half a month.


At this moment, the Ten-Thousand Scale Race tax envoy looked at Zhou Hai. “Are you very angry? I felt killing intent. You lowly human, how dare you have killing intent on me?”


With that, the man punched horizontally, and the entrance of Little Sea Village instantly exploded and was flattened. Zhou Hai was shocked and his Qi and blood erupted. He only dared to resist but didn’t dare to fight back.


Bang!


His figure flew thousands of kilometers away in an instant, and blood splashed across the sky. During the whole process, although Zhao Jing wanted to attack, she held it back. Otherwise, if the Ten Thousand Scale Race’s Tax Envoys asked for more taxes, it would be over.


The Ten Thousand Scale Race’s Tax Envoy snorted coldly. “This is the result of offending me.”


Just as the Ten Thousand Scale Race’s tax envoy stopped, a voice sounded leisurely.


“Hey! What did you just say? Lowly human? Say it again.”






Chapter 2125: Human Race Never Submit

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Since he was the Human Emperor, the human race was Han Fei’s Dao heart. How could Han Fei sit idle when someone from another race belittled the human race like this?


The crowd that gathered up holding the Clean Stones in their hands all made way for him. Han Fei came to the village entrance in a few steps.


Han Fei asked, “Are you belittling the human race?”


Zhao Jing’s face changed greatly. Han Fei was a scavenger from outside. She knew that Han Fei and the others were definitely not afraid of the Tax Envoy. However, the Tax Envoy represented Mountain City. Behind Mountain City, there was also the City of Scavengers. If Han Fei provoked the tax Envoys, they could leave, but not the Little Sea Village. Otherwise, how could she bear the humiliation?


Zhao Jing was about to speak and dismiss Han Fei, when Han Fei glanced at her. Zhao Jing was dumbstruck and couldn’t speak.


Zhao Jing swore that she had never seen such a gaze in her life. Those eyes were like abysses, impossible to see clearly. She even had the urge to kneel at him.


“Oh! So your Little Sea Village has a new Sea Establisher. No wonder you can’t even pay this year’s tax. Humph, kid, do you know who you are talking to?”


Han Fei asked, “Do you know who you are talking to?”


In Han Fei’s eyes, this person was already dead. Little Sea Village might suffer if he killed this guy, but he could just kill his way through Mountain City! He wouldn’t hesitate to slaughter a city to save a village. Anyway, those who bullied the human race deserved to die.


The Tax Envoy’s eyes turned cold. Was this person not from the Little Sea Village? It seemed to make sense. In a mere hundred years, if the Little Sea Village had a new king, they would definitely know.


The Tax Envoy said, “Boy, I don’t know where you are from, but I am the Tax Envoy of the Ten Thousand Scale Race. How dare you provoked us? Do you want this Little Sea Village to be destroyed with you?”


The Tax Envoy was not stupid. There were only three of him. He didn’t know who this person was or if he should beat him. However, since this person was a human and would fight him because of a word, it meant that he cared a lot about the bloodline of the human race.


However, Han Fei snorted. “How dare you threaten me?”


This person was speechless. Why are you, a mere Sea Establisher, so arrogant? As long as this matter is settled today, I’ll immediately bring people to wipe out this Little Sea Village.


At this time, Zhou Hai came back, but he was injured because he didn’t dare to fight back. At this moment, he saw Han Fei looking at the three Tax Envoys aggressively.


Han Fei said, “You deserve to die for humiliating the human race. Do you want to kill yourselves as an apology, or do you want me to kill you and reduce you to ashes?”


At this time, because of Zhao Jing’s words, every family in Little Sea Village came to pay taxes with the Clean Stones they had saved, only to see such a domineering scene.


This scavenger was actually threatening the Tax Envoy. Although they were also worried that this would put the Little Sea Village in danger, why did they feel so good?


A Tax Envoy shouted, “How dare you threaten the Tax Envoy? Do you want to die?! No matter who you are, can you be stronger than our Ten Thousand Scale Emperor?”


Han Fei reached out and grabbed in the air. The person who spoke froze, his flesh and blood tightened, and his soul seemed to be held by someone. His body flew into the air uncontrollably.


Han Fei’s voice was cold. “Who allowed you to interrupt me?”


Bang!


The man’s body exploded, and a void array instantly condensed. His body and soul exploded in that little array, but the surrounding seawater didn’t even move.


“Hiss ~”


At that moment, Zhao Jing and Zhou Hai were both dumbfounded. Was this guy really a Sea Establisher? With a wave of his hand, a Sea Establishment realm cultivator died on the spot. Who was Han Fei and company?


“Wow!”


“The Tax Envoy is dead?”


The boys, youths, and adults of the Little Sea Village were all dumbfounded. This was a Tax Envoy! A super powerhouse in the Sea Establishment Realm, but this human scavenger killed him just by clenching his fist?


Behind him, Tai Yuan said indifferently, “Han Fei is a little too impulsive and used to being domineering. Now Mountain City has to be slaughtered.”


Wang Yijian said, “Very good! The Ten Thousand Scale Race made the human race work like cows and horses. They should be executed.”


The Snail Emperor said, “After all, this is their territory! If we raze Mountain City, how could the Monarch of the City of Scavengers not know?”


The Sword God said, “Therefore, we need to be fast.”


Kong Shen narrowed his eyes and said, “Since these Tax Envoys said that there is still half a month before the next tide wave, it means that we can actually take action in this half a month. As long as we get the sea chart of the Chaotic Wasteland, we can leave here.”


They could only think so. It seemed that they had to leave today.


The remaining two Tax Envoys were dumbfounded. The Tax Envoy leader looked at Han Fei in shock, his body trembling slightly. “You, you are not, not in the Sea Establishment realm.”


Buzz!


When Han Fei’s terrifying suppressing pressure and murderous intent descended, the two Tax Envoys lost their balance. No matter how hard they tried, in the end, they still fell to their knees.


Han Fei extended his hand and walked towards the two of them step by step. “If you commit suicide, you might have a better death. I’ve given you a chance, but unfortunately, you don’t know how to cherish it. Remember to watch your mouth in your next life.”


Seeing Han Fei extend his hand and press it on the heads of the two of them, the Tax Envoy leader was horrified and roared, “If you kill the Tax Envoys, Mountain City will not let you off!”


“Shut up. Who the f*ck cares about the Ten Thousand Scales Emperor? Is the f*cking Emperor your father?”


Bang!


Han Fei pressed both hands down, and the two Sea Establishers, like the man just now, exploded in an instant. Even the surrounding seawater didn’t shake.


Several Star Shells flew out of the void, and Han Fei threw one to Zhao Jing and said casually, “The human race will never surrender to other races. I will solve Mountain City. As for you, forget everything that happened today. Got it?”


Zhao Jing’s mood was extremely complicated at this moment. This was the only human emperor she had seen in her life. She knew that to save the Little Sea Village, the Ten Thousand Scale Race’s powerhouse in Mountain City had to die.


Therefore, at this moment, Zhao Jing bowed deeply to Han Fei. “From today on, everyone in Little Sea Village will forget what happened today. Thank you for your help, my lord. The human race will never surrender to other races…”


Zhou Hai, Ye Lan, and the others were also shocked and felt complicated.


Ye Lan felt as if she were in a dream. She never expected that she would bring back an emperor of the human race.


Buzz!


Zhao Jing and the others saw a golden light flash, and then Han Fei disappeared into thin air, and they didn’t even notice any void fluctuations.


When Zhao Jing came back to herself and looked at her residence again, there was no one there. Han Fei and the other five had all disappeared.


At this moment, Zhao Jing was shocked. If they were kings, it was impossible for them to leave so quietly. Therefore, not only Han Fei, but all six of them were emperors.


Zhao Jing held the Star Shell in her hand, a little at a loss. Six emperors had suddenly appeared in the human race? Were they hiding their strength before, or something else?


She seemed to see a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope for the rise of the human race. There were already strong masters rising and resisting in the dark.


Perhaps one day, he could see that the rule of the Ten Thousand Scale Race would be overthrown by the human race. Even if this hope was small, there was still hope.


“Hiss ~”


Zhao Jing took a deep breath, turned around, and shouted coldly, “From now on, everyone in Little Sea Village, forget what happened today. No talking, no voice transmission, and don’t even think about it. There were no outsiders in Little Sea Village recently. Otherwise, if anyone leaks it, everyone in Little Sea Village will have to die…”


…


A million kilometers away, Han Fei and the others stopped.


Tai Yuan said, “The three of them died at the same time. I’m afraid the lord of Mountain City has already noticed it. We have to rush over at full speed and quickly kill the lord of Mountain City. Otherwise, once the news spreads to the City of Scavengers, the consequences will be disastrous. We don’t know the strength of the Monarch.”


However, Han Fei opened his hands, and three drops of essence blood appeared in his hands.


The Snail Emperor: “Huh? These three people are still alive?”


Han Fei said, “Now is not the time for us to take action. The methods of a Monarch are indeed unpredictable. I’m not sure if he has the ability to see through the entire scavenger sea area. Therefore, I’ll keep these three people for now. We’ll talk about it when we reach Mountain City.”


The Sword God said, “But the lord of Mountain City must be killed sooner or later. Otherwise, if these Tax Envoys don’t return, he will still discover something.”


Han Fei nodded. “So we have to go to Mountain City now. Isn’t it said that the tide wave will arrive in half a month? Even if we want to kill him, we have to take advantage of the time. Of course, we don’t have to kill him. If we make him into a puppet…”


The eyes of Tai Yuan and the others lit up.


Yes, if they were made into puppets, not only could they not alarm the City of Scavengers, but they could also occupy a place in the Chaotic Wasteland first. Then they would have a great room to maneuver.


Besides, there happened to be a corpse refining expert in Han Fei’s Origin Sea. He didn’t expect Hong Yue’s Great Dao to be useful at this moment.








Chapter 2126: Encounter

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Three days later.


Han Fei and the others set off from the Little Sea Village. If they traveled at full speed, it would only take them about a day to reach Mountain City.


However, this was a world they were not familiar with after all, and to observe the ominous creatures along the way, they did not walk so fast.


Today, even though they were not fast, they were not far from Mountain City. It would only take them half a day at most.


At this moment, in the perception of Han Fei and the others, a group of big fish appeared. There were at least ten thousand of them, a kind of blue sea snake.


In the sea, there were too many groups of ten thousand sea creatures, but such a group of ten thousand Venerables was rarely seen.


If this were in the Raging Sea, wouldn’t it be a disaster? It would be a super force.


However, there were still people hunting such a group of sea snakes in the Venerable realm.


They were five frogmen powerhouses. Han Fei had once killed frogmen, so he recognized them at a glance. At this moment, the five of them quickly swam around the snakes and kept throwing Clean Stone Water Thunder.


It was as if electric nets had erupted at the bottom of the sea one after another, purifying dozens of sea snakes with each blow.


Judging from the usage of the Clean Stone Water Thunder, they were far wealthier than Ye Lan and the others. When they first met Ye Lan, they might only have six Clean Stone Water Thunder in total. Ye Lan even secretly hid one as a trump card and was almost killed in that battle.


The Snail Emperor asked, “What race is this? It looks very similar to a human, except that its eyes are slightly bigger and it looks a little ugly. Its transformation ability is much worse than mine.”


Han Fei thought to himself, You’re just a snail. Why do you care if a person is ugly or not?


Han Fei said, “These should be the so-called scavengers. We encountered many ominous creatures along the way, but we didn’t see any scavengers. This place is close to Mountain City. These scavengers are probably going to Mountain City to avoid the tide waves.”


Kong Shen asked, “Should we treat them as enemies or ignore them?”


Han Fei smiled. “I think they have already discovered us.”


“Huh?”


Kong Shen and the others frowned. They were just kings and still hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, but they had already discovered them?


However, the attacks of those people did slow down, as if to prevent someone from appearing.


Han Fei thought that it was necessary to let Tai Yuan and the others know that the people from the Sea Realm were actually not weak. Their perception, soul power, and resistance to the suppressing pressure of the strong were all stronger than the people from the Raging Sea.


Of course, this was only because the environment they lived in was different from the Raging Sea. If the humans in the Raging Sea moved to the Chaotic Wasteland, they would probably become like them soon.


Sure enough, the frogmen scavengers stopped attacking and let the ominous creatures escape. They quickly collected about 3,000 energy crystals and looked in the direction of Han Fei and the others.


“Who dares to ruin our plan?”


Han Fei and the others no longer hid. In fact, they didn’t deliberately hide just now. They were too confident and thought that they wouldn’t be discovered.


When Han Fei and the others appeared opposite the five frogmen, the frogmen narrowed their eyes slightly.


“Human scavengers? Interesting. According to the rules of scavengers, if you take a fancy to our things, you can either fight us or leave. You actually wanted to attack us just now? Why, now even humans dare to attack us?”


Han Fei shrugged slightly. “Are you looking down on us humans?”


The frogman leader sneered. “This is not the Wanderer Sea. How dare a mere human be so arrogant?”


Then, the frogman suddenly rose, a spiral appeared in his eyes, and a soul gaze that had been accumulated for a long time attacked the souls of Han Fei and the others.


At the moment the frogman attacked, the other four frogmen also jumped up. The long thorn knife in their hands swept across the sky, and the knives were actually full of black ominous aura.


This time, Han Fei didn’t even need to do anything. Kong Shen held the Abyss Scepter and pointed at the void. Then these frogmen’s minds seemed to be swallowed by the abyss, and half of their attack power was instantly absorbed.


Then, they saw the shadow of a centipede crawling in the void. The centipede’s sharp claws hooked onto these people, producing piercing sounds.


Just when Kong Shen felt that he could easily sweep these five people, the leading frogman suddenly opened his mouth, and a strange frog cry sounded. The phantom of the Great Sky Centipede was shattered by this voice.


These frogmen took the opportunity to detonate their weapons and retreat.


Boom Boom Boom ~


Even Kong Shen was shaken by the explosion of the five Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures.


However, Kong Shen was a Sky Opener. If he couldn’t even take down five Sea Establishers, how embarrassing would it be?


On the Abyssal Scepter, a dark green pillar of light erupted, blasting open a passage in the terrifying weapon explosion. Kong Shen took a step forward and grabbed at these people with a huge hand.


The frogman exclaimed, “Not good! He’s a Sky Opener! And he used his trump-card secret technique.”


These people were shocked. They didn’t expect to meet an emperor here. Why would such a person come out to scavenge? Was there anything attracting him here?


However, even so, why did they target us?


However, these frogmen couldn’t care less. Almost at the same time, the five of them removed a layer of flesh on their bodies, which exploded in midair, and a large amount of white pulp directly froze the sea area within ten thousand kilometers.


Then, the five of them accelerated to their fastest speed, trying to escape through the void in an instant.


However, how could Kong Shen be blocked by such a secret technique? With a bang, the ice shattered, forming a huge vortex behind the five of them. The terrifying spinning power directly sealed the void entrance that had just opened. The five frogmen kings were sucked back at the same time.


Kong Shen extended his hand, intending to capture the five of them. At this moment, he wasn’t ready to kill them yet.


However, when he slapped down, three frogmen suddenly spat out a bottle. As the bottle exploded, a large area of ominous aura erupted.


“A*shole.”


Bang! Bang! Bang!


At the same time as the three of them exploded, Kong Shen’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t expect to be tricked by a few mere kings. This ominous aura couldn’t be casually touched.


Kong Shen intended to suppress the remaining two with his suppressing pressure while preparing to cut off his hand.


But in the next moment, a holy pillar of light descended, and the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique instantly purified the so-called ominous aura.


Tai Yuan and the others couldn’t help but exclaim. The Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique was simply a great killing weapon in the Chaotic Wasteland!


At this moment, Kong Shen’s face was black as he saw the two frogmen break through his suppressing pressure.


Fortunately, Han Fei had already expected this situation, so he jumped over with a sword light and slashed out, directly killing one of them.


Then, he reached out and grabbed the last person.


Bam! Bam! Bam!


At this moment, in the Chaotic Wasteland, above the seabed, four red lights burst out like fireworks, and four frogmen died.


However, the astronomical phenomenon here was much simpler. It was like a firework exploding in the sky. With a flash of red light, the astronomical phenomenon ended without even a rain of blood.


Kong Shen looked at Han Fei and the others awkwardly. “Well, I didn’t expect these mere Sea Establishers to have so many tricks.”


Tai Yuan said thoughtfully, “It’s a little strange. These people are actually like that ominous creature, able to easily resist the suppressing pressure of an emperor. Their methods and combat skills are clean and neat. They’re like kings who have been at war for a long time and are not weak.”


Tai Yuan nodded slightly. “That’s right. From the combat skills they used just now, their explosive power and the strength of their trump cards are a level higher than those in the Raging Sea. This should be related to the combat skills they practice. This means that the combat skills in the Sea Realm are much stronger than those in the Raging Sea.”


The Sword God said, “The astronomical phenomenon is too weak. It only covers a radius of ten thousand kilometers. The space in the Sea Realm is tougher than the Raging Sea.”


The Snail Emperor said, “I know why. It’s mainly because the upper limit of the Heavenly Dao here is extremely high. The fact that I can use my full strength here is good proof.”


Han Fei took out the Vast Ocean Navigator and sent three projections into the Origins Sea of three frogmen to plunder their resources.


As for the other person, Han Fei activated the Soul Searching Technique with the Void Lines.


After a while, Han Fei suddenly grinned. “Everyone, there’s good news. We already have a sea chart of the City of Scavengers. But the bad news is that this sea chart only records most of the sea area of the City of Scavengers, but I’m afraid it’s not enough for us to leave the Chaotic Wasteland.”


The Snail Emperor: “What good news is that?”


Han Fei asked, “If we can find the sea chart of the City of Scavengers from these scavengers, what about those in the Sky Opening realm?”


Wang Yijian asked, “The lord of Mountain City?”


Everyone immediately understood. Sea Establishers might not be powerful in the Sea Realm, but there weren’t that many Sky Openers even in the entire Chaotic Sea. There might only be a few hundred Sky Opening realm powerhouses on the surface in the three main cities. And lords probably had a sea chart of the Chaotic Wasteland.







Chapter 2127: Mountain City

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
After killing the last frogman scavenger, Han Fei and the others quickly left.


Han Fei said, “From the information obtained from the Soul Search, it’s very difficult for the human race to rise under the jurisdiction of the City of Scavengers, so in the Scavenger Sea Area, the possibility of the human race rising is extremely small. However, in the City of Scavengers, there are also human powerhouses, but most of them are enslaved by the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Also, the remoter a city of the City of Scavengers is, the smaller and weaker it will be. Mountain City is remote, so the strength of the lord shouldn’t be strong. However, there is a problem.”


“What question?”


Han Fei said, “We are humans. Even Senior Snail Emperor has an extremely high degree of transformation. However, I found that it’s not that the creatures in the Sea Realm can’t transform, but that they like to keep the characteristics of their race so that it’s easier to distinguish them. Especially in the scavenger sea, humans are regarded as the bottom of society, so no one will completely transform into a human form, which will be despised by other races.”


“Hmph!”


Wang Yijian snorted as if he was very unhappy with this situation.


Han Fei said, “Therefore, in view of this situation, if we want to successfully enter Mountain City and control it, it’s naturally impossible in our human forms.”


Kong Shen said, “I should be recognized as a humanoid.”


Han Fei nodded, but then said, “But I’m afraid Senior Snail Emperor can’t. There is no snail race in Mountain City at all, so even if the Snail Emperor shows some of his race’s characteristics, he will also be regarded as an anomaly.”


Tai Yuan asked, “Do you mean that we’d better imitate a humanoid creature?”


Han Fei grinned. “I think the frogmen are good.”


The Snail Emperor: “So ugly.”


Han Fei said, “You’re already an emperor. Why do you care about whether it’s ugly or not? Anyway, as long as we control the lord of Mountain City, everything will be under our control.”


The Sword God said, “Han Fei is right. After all, this is the outside world, a territory with a Monarch guarding it. That’s a living Monarch. Its strength is immeasurable.”


Wang Yijian nodded slightly and had no objection.


Tai Yuan: “There are only five people in this frogman scavenger team. We have one more.”


Han Fei said, “I don’t need it. Have you forgotten my Twin Divine Technique?”


With this in mind, everyone was relieved. With Han Fei’s current strength, even they wouldn’t be able to detect him if he used the Twin Divine Technique, let alone that there was only one Sky Opening Realm powerhouse in Mountain City.


Half a day later.


…


A small city surrounded by mountains, spanning about 3,000 kilometers, appeared in front of Han Fei and the others.


The architectural style of Mountain City was actually not much different from that of the small village. It was mainly built from the Pure Stone original ores. However, the shape and luxury of the building far exceeded that of the village.


In Mountain City, there were all kinds of businesses. There was even a large number of clean stones sold in shops. Han Fei and the others saw a large number of Clean Stone Water Thunder, or weapons like sabers, long swords, spears, and scimitars.


Swish! Swish! Swish!


When Han Fei and the others arrived at Mountain City, a Sea Establishment realm powerhouse immediately appeared at the city gate.


This was another king of the frogmen race.


When this person appeared and saw Tai Yuan and the others who had turned into frogmen, he immediately complained, “Old Yang, you’re really good at timing. The tide wave will come in ten days. I’m afraid you won’t come back. How was the harvest this time?”


Han Fei and the others didn’t expect that this frogman scavenger team had an acquaintance in Mountain City. Tai Yuan hadn’t searched the soul of this frogman leader, so he didn’t know this person at all.


At this moment, he secretly said to Han Fei, “This person may ruin our plan.”


Han Fei, who was attached to Tai Yuan, was also dumbfounded, but he quickly decided, “Leave this person to me…”


Tai Yuan smiled at the frogman. “The harvest is not bad. If it weren’t for the approaching tide waves, we might have to stay outside for a while.”


As they spoke, Tai Yuan and the others walked towards the frogman king.


However, when they walked towards the frogman, the man looked at Wang Yijian. Because Wang Yijian was too stiff, his acting skills might not be up to standard. Or maybe the temperament of a sword cultivator was too outstanding and too fierce.


The frogman king couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with Ba Lin? He doesn’t seem right.”


The more the frogman king looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong. His temperament didn’t seem right!


However, just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. At that moment, a terrifying power drilled into his soul.


At that moment, he wanted to resist, but a strange sound suddenly exploded in his mind. He couldn’t even make a sound before he felt that he was losing control of his body.


After dozens of seconds, Han Fei quickly searched the frogman’s soul and then said to Tai Yuan and the others via voice transmission, “It’s done. This frogman is one of the guard leaders of Mountain City. He doesn’t know the team you turned into very well. He only knew them for nearly a hundred years. Because this frogman team often hunts here, he’s familiar with them.


Han Fei had already had the experience of controlling the king of the frogmen race. At that time, he underestimated his opponent, so that frogman broke free from the Void Lines.


However, how could Han Fei make the same mistake twice? Besides, he was now in the Sky Opening realm. It was impossible for a king of the frogmen race to break free from his hands.


Han Fei had thought that it was common for scavengers to enter the city, but he didn’t expect that they were almost exposed by a frogman. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and controlled this person.


As soon as he controlled this person, Han Fei said, “Give me some energy crystals.”


Seeing that the frogman was controlled by Han Fei, Tai Yuan smiled ambiguously and handed a Sun Moon Shell to Han Fei.


Han Fei grinned and said pretentiously, “Old Yang, let’s go! Are you going to your own yard or my place?”


Tai Yuan: “We’re quite tired. Let’s go back and rest for a few days.”


Han Fei said, “That’s good.”


At this moment, whether it was Han Fei, Tai Yuan, or the others, they all knew that a Sky Opening realm perception was sweeping over. They didn’t know if Han Fei had controlled this frogman and was noticed by the lord of Mountain City, so they acted a little.


Fortunately, the perception came and went quickly. Seeing that Han Fei had accepted the benefits, the perception retreated.


“Huff~”


Han Fei said via voice transmission, “It’s in the city. I’ll guide you there. Rest for a few days. I’ll investigate the lord of this Mountain City first.


…


In the lord’s residence in Mountain City, a Ten-Thousand Scale Clan powerhouse retracted his gaze from the city gate.


He chuckled. “Such a petty favor. You frogmen want to compete with us? Hmph, in your next life.”


The man said, “Guards.”


Immediately, a Sea Establishment Realm Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouse walked in.


He said, “From today on, seal Mountain City. Prepare to resist the tide waves. Only entry is allowed, and no exit is allowed. There are only two teams of Tax Envoys that haven’t returned, right?”


The man said, “Yes, only Erqing and Hei Yang’s teams haven’t returned yet. It’ll probably be in two or three days.”


“OK! Go! Begin to build a city defense. Everyone must participate in the battle.”


“Yes, my lord. Then this year’s harvest…”


The lord of Mountain City smiled. “Confiscate 40% of the proceeds.”


“Yes, my lord.”


The so-called confiscation was actually to take the money into the lord’s mansion and make it the personal resources of the lord of this Mountain City. At that time, he would take out 10% to reward some capable subordinates, and the remaining 30% would go into his own pocket.


It had to be known that under the tide wave, there were countless ominous creatures invading. Thirty percent was already a terrifying number. Of course, he couldn’t take more. After all, this was a matter concerning the whole city. The people in the city needed some resources for cultivation. If he took too much, it would suppress the overall strength of Mountain City, and the power to resist the tide wave a hundred years later would weaken.


…


After guiding them to the resting place of the frogmen scavengers, Han Fei had already used the Twin Divine Technique and sneaked towards the Lord’s Mansion.


Because the lord of this Mountain City was also a Sky Opening Realm powerhouse, and the sensitivity of the Sea Realm powerhouses was not low, it could be seen from them being watched at the city gate just now. Therefore, along the way, Han Fei didn’t release his perception.


But even so, Han Fei saw some aliens in the city. Some had two big horns on their heads, some had a green face and sharp teeth, some had perfect human forms but had a tail, and some had hands like blades…


Anyway, Han Fei discovered a feature. In Mountain City, most of the residents were human-like creatures. Perhaps because human forms were more suitable for fighting, there were very few pure mutants.


From the Soul Searching Technique, Han Fei knew that in a few days, everyone in Mountain City would participate in the battle to resist the tide waves.


But this didn’t matter. In any case, during the tide wave period, the city would definitely be in a sealed state. As long as he could control the lord of Mountain City during this period of time, it would be fine. However, he didn’t know what the current strength of the lord of the city was.


In the Sky Opening realm, it wouldn’t be easy for him to quietly control the lord of this Mountain City. On this trip, he had to figure out the lord’s approximate strength.







Chapter 2128: Farm

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
In the Lord’s Mansion.


When Han Fei quietly floated over, he saw a Ten Thousand Scale Race Sea Establisher speaking to two Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses who had just entered the Sea Establishment realm.


The man said, “The deduction criteria for this year have been set. Sure enough, just like last time, the lord wants 40%. In a while, you will preside over the south-west side and start to arrange the city defense. Although the lord wants 40%, the wartime situation is complicated. You can at least get some. Don’t be too greedy. Otherwise, other people in the city will have objections.”


One of them complained, “When it came to the tide wave, all kinds of monsters came. Today, five frogmen scavengers came, as well as three scavengers from the Blade Clan in the east of our city. Including those who stayed long in the city, there were 17 Sea Establishers from outside. I hope these people can be more sensible. Otherwise, I’ll definitely make them hand over what they get.”


Another person said, “Okay, stop complaining. I heard that there was a problem with the No. 101 farm. Someone killed the Tax Envoys. None of the Tax Envoys escaped, causing the lack of Clean Stones in Blackhot City. Yesterday, they came to borrow Clean Stones from us. How could our lord agree? He rejected them on the spot. I heard that those Blade Clan scavengers are from the Blackhot City farm. Brother Dong, Erqing and his team haven’t returned from collecting taxes. Did something happen to them?”


“Cough, cough ~”


The Ten-Thousand Scale Clan powerhouse named Brother Dong said with a sullen face, “Don’t think or ask around. I heard that something happened in Blackhot City because they wanted to climb up. They might have had conflicts with other lords. Don’t tell anyone about this. Okay, go about your business!”


“Farm?”


Hearing this word, Han Fei’s heart sank. So the Ten Thousand Scale Race called the scavenger sea a farm?


The Ten Thousand Scale Race controlled this land and collected resources crazily. Therefore, villages like the Little Sea Village were actually labor tools. They harvested resources once every ten years. After a hundred years, how many resources had they collected from the hundreds of villages?


Han Fei’s heart turned cold. These Ten Thousand Scale Race people really deserved to die.


After the three of them left, Han Fei continued to float slowly to the Lord’s Mansion.


Perhaps because there was only one Sky Opening Realm cultivator in this Mountain City, who was the lord of this Mountain City, he didn’t set up any defenses on the Lord’s Residence because no one dared to pry into an emperor’s privacy.


Han Fei quietly entered the lord’s residence and saw that the lord was counting Star Shells. On the table in front of him, there were a total of 78 Star Shells.


When he saw the Star Shell, Han Fei couldn’t help but feel shocked. Was this the tax he collected? 78 pieces? How many Clean Stones were there here?


It wasn’t until Mountain City Lord finished counting all the Star Shells that he frowned slightly. “There are generally more original ores this year. It seems that the tax is slightly higher! It seems that after this tide wave, I have to reduce the tax by half so that the villages can produce more strong masters.”


After that, the lord of Mountain City hesitated for a moment and put 30 of the Star Shells into his bag. Then, he hesitated again and took another one. Then, he put the remaining Star Shells into a box with multiple seals and put it away.


Suddenly, the lord of Mountain City looked up at the door.


Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. Could he be discovered?


“Huh? Am I too sensitive?”


Mountain City Lord only took a look and found nothing. He shook his head slightly. It seemed that he still felt a little guilty when he embezzled resources.


Seeing that Mountain City Lord didn’t find him, Han Fei looked at this person up and down again. The scales on this Mountain City Lord’s body were more dense and strong than those Ten Thousand Scale-Race Sea Establishers. Judging from the Qi and blood that he unconsciously emitted and his invisible majesty, this person shouldn’t be weak, but he shouldn’t be very strong either.


At least, his physique was definitely not comparable to his. It was just that the physique of the Ten Thousand Scale Race was better, and their bloodline level might be relatively higher, so their foundation would be stronger.


However, in the Sky Opening realm, as long as the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Scale Race didn’t reach the top million among all the races in the Infinite Ocean, it wouldn’t be a problem.


So far, Han Fei didn’t feel any threat from this person, which meant that this person shouldn’t be stronger than him.


Han Fei thought it made sense. The City of Scavengers controlled 130 domains. If this person was very strong, why would he be ranked after the 80th?


In terms of bloodline, potential, strength, physique, and soul, he was no weaker than this person. At most, his Origin Sea might be smaller than this person’s, but it might not be. In this case, it wouldn’t be a problem to take this person down.


All that was left was the right time to take him down.


…


In the evening.


Mountain City was sealed. Only entry was allowed, and no one was allowed to leave. In Mountain City, all powerhouses above the Venerable realm were already in position. They were divided into the south gate, east gate, and the other gates.


The Clean Stone Mine was on the north, and it covered a large area. Therefore, when the tide wave came, the pressure on the north was the least, so the manpower here was the least.


Below the Venerable level, Explorers were also called up. Below the Explorer realm, there were very few people, only about 20% of the total population of Mountain City.


This was because Mountain City only accepted strong masters. People below the Venerable level could stay in Mountain City only because in their family or in the history of their family, there were at least Venerables or these people had high spiritual heritage and strong potential.


Otherwise, they would have been exiled to the villages and towns below and wouldn’t have been allowed to stay in Mountain City.


It was precisely because of this system that even though Mountain City ruled a hundred domains, the total population was less than 3 million. Firstly, it fully explained the barrenness of the Chaotic Wasteland, and secondly, it showed that the people in the Sea Realm were elite-centered.


Among the less than three million people, only 20% were Explorers, and less than 50% were Explorers.


Therefore, an extremely terrifying number appeared here, which was that almost 30% of them were Venerables.


In other words, there were 900,000 Venerables in this mere Mountain City.


When Tai Yuan and the others learned this news, they were speechless for a long time. 900,000 Venerables, this was more than the Venerables in the entire Raging Sea. And this was only one of the hundred small cities under the jurisdiction of the City of Scavengers. This Mountain City was only ranked 80th in the City of Scavengers.


This was hard for them to imagine. Then what about the main city of the City of Scavengers? A whole city of Venerables?


Han Fei’s black-mist body returned while Tai Yuan and the others were digesting the news.


Han Fei controlled the frogman captain leader to come with him. It was only natural that the frogmen were close. Even the lord of Mountain City wouldn’t doubt it.


He wasn’t afraid that Mountain City Lord would eavesdrop. After all, Han Fei and the others were all emperors. Therefore, after Han Fei arrived, he said, “Mountain City Lord’s strength is average. I estimate that any of us here can beat him. It’s just a matter of time.”


Tai Yuan said, “Han Fei, we found that the strength of the Sea Realm is too high. Do you know how many Venerables there are in this city?”


Han Fei said casually, “Isn’t it just 900,000?”


Tai Yuan was speechless. “Why, 900,000 is too little?”


Han Fei said, “We’re in a big world now. There are many strong masters here. Look at the number of Sky Openers here. There are more than a hundred lords in the entire City of Scavengers, who are all Sky Openers. And we don’t know how many more Sky Openers there are in the main city. I think there are at least five or six hundred Sky Openers in the entire Chaotic Wasteland. Think about it, how many Sky Openers are there in the Raging Sea?”


What Han Fei said seemed to make sense. The number of Sky Openers in the Chaotic Wasteland was dozens of times more than in the Raging Sea. If they underestimated the number of Sky Openers in the main cities, it might be a hundred times more than the Raging Sea.


With this in mind, it seemed normal that there were more Venerables here.


Han Fei said with a smile, “Look at their environment. As long as there is mining, the tide wave that comes once a hundred years will send them countless resources. It would be strange if these resources cannot nurture strong masters over the years. Here, those aren’t strong can’t survive…”


The Sword God said, “That makes sense. In the Chaotic Wasteland, there are countless primitive tombs. Our Raging Sea is too small for such a big world.”


Han Fei said, “Give me some time. I have to find out how to refine corpses from Hong Yue. Before the tide wave comes, we have to find a way to control the lord of this Mountain City. At that time, we might need Senior Snail Emperor to release the void, Senior Kong Shen to seal the surroundings, and Senior Yijian destroy his body with a slash, but don’t really kill him… I want to control his soul.”


Wang Yijian nodded slightly. “Okay!”







Chapter 2129: Living Dead Puppet

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
In Han Fei’s Origin Sea.


There was no time acceleration in the place Luo Xiaobai and the others stayed, so they only stayed in Han Fei’s Origin Sea for ten days.


Back in the Little Sea Village, Han Fei had already told them that they had safely entered the Sea Realm, but it was not suitable for them to come out now.


At this moment, Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang were muttering about why Han Fei’s Origin Sea had turned from a paradise into a wasteland of high quality.


Le Renkuang said, “You might not believe it, but I think the earth here is edible.”


Zhang Xuanyu rolled his eyes. “Are you dizzy with hunger?”


Le Renkuang smacked his lips and said, “I wonder if there are any specialties in the Sea Realm. Hey, we have nothing to do anyway. Shall we make barbecue?”


Luo Xiaobai said, “Stop it. It might be dangerous outside. We have to be prepared to fight at any time.”


Zhang Xuanyu said, “Don’t mention food to me now. I’m scared when I see Li Luoluo’s insects and Hong Yue’s corpses. Look, Hong Yue even stroked the corpses.”


Hong Yue gave Zhang Xuanyu a look. “This is called corpse nurturing. It’s just like nurturing swords and sabers. The Dao of corpse puppets are profound. Hehe, you just don’t know much about this Dao.”


Zhang Xuanyu said, “I might as well rely on the spear in my hand.”


Buzz!


At this moment, Han Fei suddenly appeared.


Instantly, everyone stopped their cultivation and stood up.


Zhang Xuanyu asked, “How is it? Have you settled down?”


Le Renkuang asked, “Can we go out now?”


Luo Xiaobai asked, “What’s the situation in the Sea Realm? Is it still dangerous?”


Han Fei said, “You can’t go out yet. You’ll have to stay here for a while. Hong Yue, let me ask you something. Come with me.”


Hong Yue was stunned. Han Fei was much stronger than him now. What could he ask him?


The void twisted, and in the next moment, Hong Yue had already moved. Han Fei didn’t give him a chance to choose at all.


Hong Yue asked, “Master Human Emperor, what’s the matter? How can I help?”


Han Fei asked, “Can you refine an emperor into a corpse puppet?”


Hong Yue: “…”


Hong Yue was dumbfounded. What did Han Fei mean? To refine an emperor into a corpse puppet? Was the outside world already so dangerous? He had just gone out and killed an emperor?


Han Fei said, “It’s too dangerous outside, so it’s not the time to let you out yet. But now I need you to tell me about the Dao of corpse puppets. Can you refine an emperor into a corpse puppet without killing him?”


“Without killing him?”


Han Fei said, “Or rather, seal his soul.”


Hong Yue thought to himself that this was serious. He said solemnly, “Logically speaking, a Sky Opener walking the Dao of corpse puppet is completely able to refine an emperor into a corpse puppet. However, if you want to capture his soul and seal him, it’s actually not the best choice. The soul can drive the corpse puppet and allow him to have the combat power when he is alive. If we have to preserve the soul and refine this emperor into a corpse puppet without killing him, the best way is to destroy his soul and completely mess it up, which means to shatter his soul.”


Han Fei couldn’t help but remember the time when his soul was messed up in the Ideal Palace and he lost his memory. This method seemed to work.


In fact, Han Fei could choose to suppress Mountain City Lord in his Origin Sea. He could completely simulate Mountain City Lord with the Technique of Infinite Transformations, just like when he turned into the Fish Dragon King and sneaked into the White Shell Royal City.


However, at the critical moment, he might still have to use the lord of this Mountain City. After all, he could only transform into his appearance. But to really become him, it required a long time of simulation, learning this person’s combat skills, expression, way of speaking, the memories in his sea of consciousness, and so on.


Besides, he might be able to become the lord of Mountain City, but there were many Sea Establishers in Mountain City. He could transform into one, but not a thousand.


It would be strange if all the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Scale Race in Mountain City disappeared.


Therefore, even if Han Fei didn’t refine the Mountain Lord into a corpse puppet, he would have to refine those Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses into corpse puppets.


Han Fei asked, “Can you refine an emperor corpse puppet now?”


Hong Yue immediately shook his head. “It’s almost impossible. I can only refine Sea Establishment realm corpse puppets at most. My Dao of corpse puppets is mainly composed of two parts. One is the Puppet Divine Technique, and the other is the Pure Corpse Refining Technique. The Puppet Divine Technique can form a large number of Great Dao threads and directly control the enemy in a living state. Of course, even if the other party is dead, the Puppet Divine Technique can still control him, but it can’t use the other party’s soul.”


“Puppet Divine Technique?”


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. This was similar to his Void Lines. However, when his Void Lines controlled the other party, he could control the other party to fight and use the other party’s soul. But the Puppet Divine Technique couldn’t, so the Puppet Divine Technique was one level lower than his Void Lines.


Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “What about pure corpse refinement?”


Hong Yue continued, “The pure Dao of corpse refinement is to destroy the other party’s soul. There are two states of destruction. One is to kill the other party, refine a wisp of the other party’s soul, and inject it into the corpse puppet. The other is to shatter the other party’s soul, fuse it into the body, and then refine it. However, as long as you split a wisp of your soul, you can control everything of the other party, including his memories. It’s just that he can’t continue to cultivate and grow… Of course, if carrying the other party’s memories, the wisp of soul that you split off might not be able to be taken back, because it carries the memories of others. If you take it back, it’s easy to cause abnormalities in your soul. However, although this wisp of soul can’t be taken back, it will be absolutely loyal to the main soul body.”


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. This was interesting. The lost soul could be cultivated back. According to Hong Yue, as long as he split a part of his soul, he should be able to completely control all the Venerables and kings in Mountain City and even completely become them.


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. The Dao of corpse puppets seemed to be very strong! If Hong Yue was strong enough and had the conditions to refine more corpse puppets of the same level as him and completely become these corpse puppets, his combat power would be greatly increased.


It was just that the conditions of the Raging Sea were not suitable for Hong Yue. He didn’t have the ability to kill other Sea Establishers, so he had never used this advantage.


Han Fei immediately said, “Well, teach me the pure corpse refinement technique. I’ll use it soon.”


“Huh?”


Hong Yue couldn’t help but say, “Well, it takes a long time to walk on this Great Dao.”


Han Fei smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Just give it to me.”


Hong Yue was not reluctant. In the Sea Realm, he definitely had to rely on Han Fei. He was certainly willing to give the technique to Han Fei.


Therefore, Hong Yue gave Han Fei all his Great Dao insights, corpse refinement techniques, control techniques, and soul shattering techniques.


Han Fei said, “Don’t tell others about this for now. I’ll tell them when necessary.”


“Yes, yes, I definitely won’t tell anyone unless Master Human Emperor allows it.”


…


After sending Hong Yue back, Han Fei smiled. It was just a Great Dao. Was his green jade bridge just for show? Although his understanding of the green jade bridge was problematic at first, he could use that problematic path to create the Great Dao of Corpse Puppet out of thin air. Just like when he embarked on the Great Dao of Time, as long as he was willing, he could embark on that path.


In a sense, his initial understanding was not wrong. The him in the projection seemed illusory. Anything seemed to be possible.


Therefore, when Han Fei finished understanding Hong Yue’s Great Dao and walked to the green jade bridge, countless understandings popped up in his heart. He had already stepped into the path of corpse puppets.


When Han Fei flipped through the corpse refining technique, information popped up in his eyes.


Corpse Refining Soul Fusion Technique (Sea Establishment, High-quality)


Introduction: This is a corpse puppet refining method. With the ability to seize the power of nature, before the creature completely dies, shatter the soul and fuse it in the flesh and blood of the body. With the refining method and taking the Great Dao as the source, fuse a wisp of your soul with the corpse puppet and create a spiritless body. After the corpse puppet is refined, the wisp of soul will carry the memories and soul Dao runes of the corpse puppet. After the corpse puppet is refined, it can be taken as your clone.


Deduced Art: Living Dead Puppet


Deduction Cost: 10,000 wisps of Chaotic Qi


Remarks: The corpse puppet needs to be refined before the body decays and the soul is completely scattered.


When Han Fei saw this technique, he gasped. He was stunned, feeling that he had missed a treasure.


This was because this Corpse Refining Soul Fusion Technique was too similar to the Grand Puppet Technique he had obtained from the ruins of Heavenly Desolate City. It was completely an upgraded version of the Grand Puppet Technique.


At that time, he didn’t think about deducing it at all because it required an astronomical figure of resources. If he had worked hard to collect enough resources to deduce it, he might have already embarked on the Dao of corpse puppets.


He could do what Hong Yue couldn’t! He had killed dozens of kings. In fact, they could totally become his corpse puppets.


At this moment, when Han Fei saw that this thing could still be deduced and only needed ten thousand wisps of Chaotic Qi, he immediately decided to deduce it.


A moment later, information popped up in his eyes.


Living Dead Puppet (Emperor-level, mid-quality)


With the ability to seize the power of nature, before the creature completely dies, with the refining method and taking the Great Dao as the source, fuse a wisp of your soul with the dead and transform his soul, and turn him into an avatar puppet. After the puppet is refined, you can use a wisp of your soul to control the other party’s memories. It can be taken as an avatar of yours.


Deduced Art: Life Devouring Puppet Scripture


Deduction Cost: 10,000 wisps of Immortal Qi


Remarks 1: The corpse puppet needs to be refined before the body decays.


Note 2: It has reached the current deduction limit of the Demon Purification Pot. If it is deduced again, it will involve the mysteries of the world and damage the Demon Purification Pot.






Chapter 2130: Puppet Plan

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei didn’t expect the Great Puppet Technique he accidentally obtained to have such a high growth limit.


He was only in the Sky Opening realm, but if he continued to deduce it, it would damage the Demon Purification Pot. It could be seen that this Dao still had a great space to explore. It should be able to reach the Monarch level.


In the Origin Sea, time accelerated. The three drops of essence blood of the Ten Thousand Scale Race’s Tax Envoys that Han Fei grabbed were unsealed, and the three drops of blood spewed out a large amount of resources and energy.


Even Venerables could conduct Blood Rebirth. Han Fei only left them a drop of essence blood, so the three Tax Envoys could only be reborn with this drop of essence blood.


However, the moment the three of them were reborn, they saw Han Fei standing in front of them.


“Hiss ~”


The three of them changed their expressions at the same time. They wanted to run, but they couldn’t move. It was as if the world was crushing them with infinite gravity.


They couldn’t even blow themselves up because their bloodlines seemed to be controlled by this space.


“Origin Sea?”


The three of them realized almost at the same time that this was Han Fei’s Origin Sea. Here, Han Fei could mobilize all powers at will.


The leading Ten-Thousand Scale Race Tax Envoy struggled and roared, “You don’t dare to kill us. Once we die, the lord will definitely sense it. At that time, the entire Mountain City, or even the entire City of Scavengers, will hunt you down.”


Han Fei smiled and gently moved two fingers, and the man’s mouth was sealed.


“Shut up. How many days do you think your lord can live?”


The three of them widened their eyes in shock. Does this person want to snipe the lord? Is he crazy?


With a thought from Han Fei, three wisps of blue soul fire floated out of his glabella. He needed to try to use this Living Dead Puppet to see how much soul power it would take to refine a king puppet.


Han Fei waved his hand, and a large amount of Chaotic Qi and the corpse puppet Dao runes wrapped a wisp of his soul and surged into the body of the Tax Envoy.


Although the Tax Envoy didn’t know what Han Fei was doing, he was sure it was definitely not a good thing.


Sure enough, when Han Fei’s power fused into his body, he felt as if his mind exploded, and a cone-like pain stabbed into his soul.


At the same time, he felt that for some reason, his flesh and blood were losing contact with his consciousness, as if they were sealed by a terrifying Dao rune.


Boom ~


In the depths of the Tax Envoy’s soul, Han Fei’s wisp of soul fire exploded with a bang, forming a soul vortex, causing the soul of the Tax Envoy to be constantly absorbed. When this vortex swept across the entire soul of the Tax Envoy, Han Fei’s wisp of soul gradually fused with this person’s soul.


“Huh? 300 points of soul don’t seem to be enough!”


Han Fei couldn’t help frowning. Logically speaking, with this Living Dead Puppet technique, it only needed a few soul points to control a king. But it seemed that there were more than he expected.


Therefore, Han Fei threw another 200 points of soul into it. A moment later, when these souls fused with the soul of the Tax Envoy, he felt that it was enough.


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. It required 500 points of soul power to completely control a Sea Establisher. It wasn’t much, but once the number of people controlled increased, it wouldn’t be a small number.


Besides, controlling a Sky Opener was at least ten times more the consumption than controlling a Sea Establisher. However, it wasn’t a big problem. He had more than 2 million points of soul power now, and he just needed to control some strong masters in Mountain City.


After all, the entrance to the Raging Sea was within the range of Mountain City. If he wanted to control more lords, it might attract attention.


Even if the Living Dead Puppet technique could control the lives, opportunities, and Great Daos of others with a wisp of his soul, these people couldn’t continue to cultivate. As time passed, problems would definitely arise.


In order to avoid being discovered by the Monarch of the City of Scavengers, his main task was not to secretly slowly control the City of Scavengers, but to try his best to come into contact with the cultivation methods of the Sea Realm and seize more opportunities to grow up.


Only by killing the city lord of the City of Scavengers could he be safe.


At this moment, this corpse puppet had actually been refined.


Han Fei released the pressure on this person and he bowed to Han Fei. “Master.”


Han Fei looked at him up and down. “Well! The eyes are not glassy. Not bad.”


The other two Tax Envoys were shocked. What was going on? Was Erqing being controlled?


Seeing this situation, they immediately tried to blow themselves up. Unfortunately, no matter how they mobilized their strength, it was useless.


Han Fei slowly moved his eyes to them and chuckled. “Now, it’s your turn.”


…


Not long after Han Fei controlled the frogman guard leader to return, this person was also refined into a puppet, and Han Fei no longer had to hold them with the Void Lines.


Then Han Fei quickly made a list through the memories of the frogman guard leader.


“Hmm! Blade Scavengers? These are outsiders. They’re useless to me. I can ignore them.”


“There are as many as 18 more Ten Thousand Scale Race Tax Envoys and a law enforcer named Yan Dong. And there are actually 190,000 kings and one emperor in this small city.”

1

Han Fei grinned. Then I’ll refine them all into my corpse puppets.


“Huh? There are also two human Sea Establishers here?”


After entering Mountain City, Han Fei didn’t perceive the entire city. Therefore, when Han Fei found two human Sea Establishers from the memories of the frogman captain, he couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.


According to the Ten Thousand Scale Race’s attitude towards the human race, theoretically speaking, the human Sea Establishers would be thrown into the villages. Why were they here?


Han Fei’s heart stirred and he controlled the frogman captain to go straight to them.


…


Chen Qing and Xu Mao were sitting cross-legged in a house in the east district.


Xu Mao said, “We’ve been out for 200 years. Including this time, this is already the second tide wave we experienced in Mountain City. I don’t know when we can leave Mountain City and go to the City of Scavengers!”


Chen Qing shook his head slightly. “Unfortunately, the lord won’t let us go. What can we do? I think when this tide wave ends, we, we should apply to return to the village.”


“Return to the village? Then why did we come out?”


Xu Mao looked surprised. He didn’t expect Chen Qing to want to return to the village after only 200 years.


Chen Qing glanced at Xu Mao with a complicated expression. “I thought you should understand.”


“You should have returned to the village long ago.”


At this moment, the frogmen captain who had become Han Fei’s puppet arrived leisurely and said, “You two humans are only in the Sea Establishment realm. Do you want to go to the City of Scavengers to pursue a career? If you want to bet on your luck, you might as well go to a primitive graveyard to scavenge.”


Han Fei said sarcastically as if he despised the two of them.


Xu Mao and Chen Qing’s faces changed slightly when they saw the guard captain. Chen Qing said, “Master Captain, why did you come to us at night?”


Even though Han Fei felt the anger of these two people, their words were still so soft and powerless. However, this was understandable. It was fine to swallow their anger for the time being. However, after Han Fei saw the memories of the three Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses, he already knew that the human race would have no future in the City of Scavengers.


A race wouldn’t tolerate another strong race appearing under his rule, and the Ten Thousand Scale Race wouldn’t give the human race a chance to rise at all. Even this frogman race was only a subordinate race of the Ten Thousand Scale Race, at most a little better than the human race, but not much better.


Han Fei said, “I’m here to inform you that the tide wave is coming, and you two need to guard the east district. Remember not to embezzle energy crystals, or else tsk, tsk…”


Xu Mao and Chen Qing’s faces were black. They thought to themselves, If it weren’t for the decline of the human race, we would have killed you long ago.


But Han Fei suddenly said, “Oh! Your human race is weak, so I won’t make things difficult for you. I can tell you a piece of news in advance. In the next hundred years, the tax may be reduced. I think you might as well go back to the village to take care of your people.”


“Huh?”


“Will the tax be reduced?”


Xu Mao and Chen Qing both looked at Han Fei in surprise.


Han Fei’s face immediately turned black, and he couldn’t help but say, “What are you shouting for? Just remember it in your hearts. Don’t say that I said it. After this, you’d better go back!”


Han Fei came to remind the two of them that there was no such thing as a good future in the City of Scavengers. If they wanted to make a name for themselves, they had to become the lackeys of the Ten Thousand Scale Race.


As the Human Emperor, how could Han Fei just watch the two human Sea Establishers become the lackeys of another race? Therefore, he lured them to return with the excuse of tax deduction.


As for the City of Scavengers, he would go there himself.


Han Fei couldn’t help sighing. He had thought that once he came out, he would just have to find the An family and deal with them. Who would have expected that as soon as he came out, he would find that a large number of humans were suffering in misery? As the Human Emperor, how could he turn a blind eye to it?
