Chapter 2131: Ominous Creatures Attack the City

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


Han Fei’s frogmen puppet had been guarding the east side of the city. Together with him, there were the two kings of the human race, three kings of the Blade Clan, and the five scavengers that Tai Yuan and the others had transformed into. There were a total of 11 Sea Establishers.


There was not a single king of the Ten Thousand Scale Race in the entire east side. Almost all of them were outsiders. Han Fei could completely understand it. Even if he arranged it, he would arrange for the six Sea Establishers of the Frogmen Clan to stay together.


On this day, Han Fei occasionally perceived outside with the perception range of a normal king.


Suddenly, he found a dense mass of ominous creatures more than 500,000 kilometers away.


Then, Han Fei’s face changed drastically, and he roared at the sky, “The ominous creatures are coming! Prepare for battle! All kings, return to your positions!”


As Han Fei shouted, he felt the perception of the lord of Mountain City sweep here.


Then, on the south and west sides, they also found traces of ominous creatures and began to shout. In Mountain City, all the Venerables quickly returned to their positions. Among them, Han Fei’s side had the worst manpower. There were only more than 200,000 Venerables, and the rest were all Explorers.


It could be seen that there was a reason for so many kings in the east side. Anyway, they were all kings of other races. In the eyes of the Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses, it was already not bad to give them these.


However, Han Fei didn’t care. It was just 3,000 kilometers. If he really wanted to do something, it would only take him an instant.


In the past few days, Han Fei had seen all the memories of the frogman captain. These ominous creatures were just foreplay and not tide waves.


The tide wave was a large black fog shockwave. When the tide wave came, the entire sea area would be enveloped in darkness. At that time, Mountain City would activate the Great Purification Array.


Now, these ominous creatures that came to attack them didn’t need Han Fei and the others to do anything at all. This was all the Venerables’ business. The kings only needed to guard here.


Han Fei shouted, “Clear Stone Arrow Rain, get ready. Wall of Purification, listen to my command. Be ready to activate at any time.”


The city wall was already full of Venerables. These people all knew how to use bow techniques, which were free of charge in Mountain City.


Of course, the real powerful bow techniques were not something ordinary people could get.


Everyone held their breath. Only Han Fei and the others were quite curious about the ominous creatures’ attack on the city.


Every time those ominous creatures approached ten thousand kilometers, Han Fei would announce it.


“A hundred thousand kilometers.”


“Eighty thousand kilometers.”


“Thirty thousand kilometers.”


When these ominous creatures were 2,000 kilometers away, Han Fei shouted, “Shoot.”


Swish! Swish! Swish!


Holy white light filled the sky, densely packed, and hundreds of thousands of them swept across the sky like fireworks.


In Han Fei’s vision, the massive number of ominous creatures exploded like bubbles under the purification of the Clean Stone Arrow Rain, turning into black mist that was quickly swallowed by the nearby ominous creatures.


Even the Clean Stone arrows that didn’t hit the ominous creatures would explode when they were about to fall to the ground, forming a lightning net made of Clean Stones. This lightning net might not be able to kill an ominous creature in the Venerable realm with one blow, but when the number increased, the ominous creatures in the Venerable realm were still all purified.


This wave killed at least 50,000 ominous creatures. Han Fei couldn’t help but sigh. Were there so many powerful creatures in the Chaotic Wasteland?


However, this rain of arrows didn’t stop the ominous creatures from attacking the city.


Han Fei and the others could only defend the east side, but the ominous creatures came from above, front, and even above their heads.


Therefore, at the same time as the rain of arrows burst out, Han Fei shouted again, “Above our heads, the Wall of Purification. Straight ahead, rotating wings of light.”


Some Venerables who had already been prepared held shields made of Clean Stone in their hands and rushed into the sky. And the Clear Stone Shields in their hands formed a holy barrier that was a hundred meters wide. After the barrier was formed, there was lightning flashing. Any ominous creatures that collided with it would be purified by the lightning released.


In front of him, the so-called rotating wings of light were like a spinning fan, pushing out horizontally. Wherever the fan passed, it would kill a large number of ominous creatures.


It could be said that at least hundreds of thousands of ominous creatures had been purified. Of course, not all of these ominous creatures were Venerables.


It could be seen that ominous creatures were actually afraid of the power of the Clean Stone. Therefore, after a round of attacks, their attacks slowed down. A large number of Explorer and Venerable-realm ominous creatures paused for a moment before continuing to attack.


At this time, Han Fei shouted, “Attack freely in half an hour. You can keep all the benefits gained here.”


Roar!


“Kill!”


Many people were waiting for this moment. This was the time for them to make a fortune.


In fact, in the past, every time the tide wave came, the ominous creatures would attack the city like today. The lord and the others didn’t care about this wave of resource income that was mainly used to reward the people of the city and stimulate their fighting spirit.


As the saying went, humans died for wealth, and birds died for food. Cultivators could also risk their lives for resources.


Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people rushing out together, Han Fei couldn’t help but click his tongue. This scene was indeed spectacular. This was because the weapons in these people’s hands were basically forged from Clean Stones, so the combat effect of an entire army attacking was actually very good.


At least, in the face of these ominous creatures, the effect was quite good.


In this first wave of battle, less than half of the people in Mountain City died. It could even be said that the number of casualties was only about one in a thousand.


After all, this city had been preparing for the once-in-a-hundred-year tide wave for so long. How could the army be destroyed in the very beginning? If that was the case, the city would have long been gone.


While Han Fei was fighting, Tai Yuan and the others were watching not far away.


The Snail Emperor couldn’t help but discuss via voice transmission, “Han Fei adapted quite fast. He can command the battle in the blink of an eye.”


Tai Yuan: “How do you think the title of human emperor comes about? Do you remember the human race’s expeditions in the Raging Sea?”


The Sword God said, “I’m just curious. Has he completely controlled that frogman captain? I can’t see anything wrong with that person at all.”


Kong Shen said, “Maybe he has already entered the Dao of Corpse Puppets.”


Everyone couldn’t help but nod secretly. This kind of thing was very likely to happen to Han Fei. After knowing him for so long, who didn’t know that Han Fei walked many Great Daos?


He had walked through so many Great Daos, so a mere Corpse Puppet Great Dao shouldn’t be a problem for him.


Not only were Tai Yuan and the others looking at Han Fei, but even the lord of Mountain City couldn’t help but nod at Han Fei’s command. Back then, it was because of this guy’s good fighting skills that he left the position of captain of the city guards to him. This person had completely surrendered to him and only wanted to get more benefits. He didn’t have any ambition, but he was good at fighting. It would be stupid not to keep such a talent.


After half an hour, a massive number of ominous creatures were killed, which consumed a wave of the city’s Clean Stone reserve.


However, the more ominous creatures died, the more black fog dissipated. In the end, this black fog was swallowed by a powerful black shark, causing him to directly grow into an ominous creature in the Sea Establishment realm.


Seeing that the ominous creature had been formed, Han Fei shouted, “Everyone, retreat. Xu Mao, Chen Qing, kill this ferocious creature quickly.”


Seeing that Han Fei had no intention of taking action at all but was directing the human kings to do this, the three members of the Blade Clan couldn’t help shaking their heads slightly, thinking that the human race was indeed the lowest race in the Scavenger Sea. Even the frogmen dared to command them at will.


While everyone was thinking this, in fact, Chen Qing and Xu Mao didn’t really hate Han Fei. This was because they had always been treated as the bottom, so the amount of resources they obtained was small.


By killing this Sea Establisher ominous creature, they could get its energy crystal, which was actually a good chance.


This was what Han Fei thought of. If he didn’t give such a large energy crystal to the human race, should he give it to the Blade Clan?


The newly produced ominous Sea Establishment realm creature tried to swallow these two human kings.


However, all the human kings who could leave the villages and come to Mountain City were brave and good at fighting. If they could have gained enough opportunities to grow in the village, how could they have come out so easily?


Therefore, Xu Mao and Chen Qing only fought for ten seconds before purifying the ominous creature.


At this point, the ominous creatures retreated. It was up to the city guards to count how many people of Mountain City had lost. Han Fei was only responsible for mobilizing them in battle.


The death of this Sea Establishment-realm ominous creature meant the end of the first wave of attack on the city.


Han Fei shouted, “Clear the battlefield in half an hour and return to the city quickly.”


On the other side, after the army of ominous creatures was wiped out, behind them, three miserable kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race appeared in front of the lord of Mountain City.


They were the three Ten Thousand Scale Race Tax Envoys who went to the Little Sea Village to collect taxes. Of course, they were now Han Fei’s puppets.


But others didn’t know!


Many kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race exclaimed, “Erqing? Why are you back so late? You just made it in time for this wave of attack.”







Chapter 2132: You Can Call Me Human Emperor

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
The reason why Han Fei asked the three puppets to put on an act was naturally that he wanted to completely take this city.


These Ten Thousand Scale Race powerhouses had been in Mountain City for countless years and knew this place like the back of their hand. Similarly, many people in Mountain City knew them.


If the three of them didn’t return before the tide wave but returned after it, there would obviously be a problem. They might be suspected. Even if he refined the lord of Mountain City and all the other kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race into puppets, there might be other spies in the city.


After experiencing so many things, he knew that there were all kinds of people in such a big city.


Besides, he had other purposes for bringing the three puppets back.


“Come to see me.”


These words fell into Erqing’s ears.


A moment later.


In the lord’s residence, the lord of Mountain City was sitting on his throne, waiting for Erqing’s explanation.


“My lord, there is a problem with the tax collection this time. It forced us to come back slowly, and… and the tax is not fully collected.”


“Oh? What happened? Tell me about it.”


Erqing said, “My lord, there seems to be something wrong in the space around the Little Sea Village. Six human kings have come. Although they tried to hide themselves, I noticed them. I suspect that they are from a primitive graveyard.”


“Oh?”


The lord of Mountain City, who looked lazy, suddenly became serious. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Are you sure they’re from a primitive graveyard? Six kings. How can a primitive graveyard have so many strong cultivators?”


Erqing said, “I suspected that too, so I searched nearby, only to find an ice-sealed barrier. I wanted to go check it, but I was trapped in a mist and didn’t come out for several days. Considering that the tide wave was coming, I didn’t alert the enemy, but came back quickly to report.”


The lord of Mountain City narrowed his eyes as if recalling something. After a long time, he said, “Are you saying that all the people who came are human powerhouses?”


Erqing: “Yes.”


Mountain City Lord’s heart stirred. Others might not know, but he knew what happened before. Although he hadn’t entered the Sky Opening Realm at that time, he remembered that a human giant boat had once appeared in the scavenger sea.


It was only then that the number of humans in the land of scavengers increased.


At that time, humans tried to use the City of Scavengers as a springboard to leave the Chaotic Wasteland. However, they were discovered by the Ten Thousand Scales Monarch and intercepted. If it weren’t for the fact that there seemed to be a strong master on the human side, the people on that ship would have been wiped out.


This matter happened near the 80th domain, so he chose this place when he chose territory. However, after so many years, he hadn’t found any Origin Ground nearby.


What Erqing said made him excited. If it was really an Origin Ground and he could enjoy the resources there alone, maybe… he could become one of the top ten powerhouses under the command of the Ten Thousand Scale Monarch.


Mountain City Lord asked, “Are you sure those humans didn’t discover you?”


Erqing said firmly, “Absolutely not.”


With that said, Erqing took out the tax money he had collected. “My lord, I was really lost in that barrier for a few days this time. After this tide wave, I will definitely go to the remaining villages to collect the uncollected tax.”


Mountain City Lord said, “Well, there’s no rush. It’s just the taxes of a few villages. Tell me about the barrier in detail.”


Erqing immediately took out a jade slip and said, “My lord, that place is extremely close to the sea, among countless icebergs. This is the map of that place. As for the barrier, it’s just a white mist. I walked out along a dark barrier in the end.


The Lord’s eyelids twitched. “Okay, thank you. Don’t tell anyone else about this. What I’m saying is that only I know about this, except for the three of you.”


Erqing: “Yes, my lord.”


…


Holding the map given by Erqing, Mountain City Lord glanced at it and couldn’t help but grin.


“Sure enough, my choice was right. There is indeed something wrong with the 80th domain. If it’s really an Origin Ground, after this tide wave, it will be the time for me, Xue Fei, to rise.”


Only a minute after Erqing left the mansion, on the battlefield in the east side, Tai Yuan and the others had quietly disappeared, leaving only a puppet frogman guarding there.


In a courtyard in the city.


Wang Yijian: “My sword is ready.”


Kong Shen said, “I can turn the city lord’s mansion into an abyss, waiting for the moment the poison takes effect.”


The Snail Emperor said, “When you attack, the void above the entire city lord’s mansion will freeze. He won’t be able to leave the city lord’s mansion.”


Because Han Fei didn’t appear, he only said to them via voice transmission, “Listen to my order. Prepare to attack in a hundred seconds.”


Han Fei had always been decisive. When he learned the Living Dead Puppet Technique, he had already begun to plan. He was waiting for the first wave of ominous creatures to attack the city.


At this time, the ominous creatures had just retreated. The people of the city were busy cleaning up the battlefield while clearing the remaining ominous power. The city was the emptiest, so no one would discover the problem with the lord’s mansion.


Xue Fei, the lord of Mountain City, was fumbling with the jade slip in his hand, wishing the tide wave would end immediately. An Origin Ground could bring far more benefits than a tide wave.


However, as he rubbed it, Xue Fei suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was not that something was wrong with Erqing, but that something was wrong with him.


Why was the blood in his body surging uncontrollably? Was it because he had been waiting too long for this day?


At first, he didn’t think much of it.


However, when he tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, he felt that something was wrong. Why was he a little tired?


Immediately, Xue Fei felt that something was wrong. He was a Sky Opening Realm powerhouse. How could he be unwell?


“Oh no ~”


Only at this moment did he look at the map given to him by Erqing.


At this moment, Han Fei said, “Attack.”


Buzz!


In an instant, the void above the entire City Lord Mansion became abnormally viscous, as if it was filled with glue water. And inside the City Lord Mansion, a dark curtain suddenly descended, like a bottomless abyss, directly enveloping the City Lord Mansion. Outside, everything in the City Lord Mansion seemed normal, but inside, it was already empty.


“Erqing ~”


Xue Fei shouted and wanted to attack, but a blue halo twisted and time slowed down.


Xue Fei was shocked. The Great Dao of Time? How could there be a Great Dao as advanced as the Great Dao of Time in the entire Mountain City?


Time Deceleration was not a big deal, but the problem was that Xue Fei saw a blue halo bloom, and then as if an invisible barrier was broken, he fell into the river of time.


At this moment, a sharp sword shadow appeared. When he found it, he had already touched the river of time. When the sword shadow hacked at him, Xue Fei wanted to block it, but he couldn’t control his body because time had seriously slowed him down.


“Puff ~”


As the sword slashed across, Xue Fei’s scales turned into nothingness, and his body was instantly destroyed.


At this moment, a big hand reached out from the river of time and grabbed a crystal-clear ruby-like scale.


Buzz!


At that moment, Han Fei extended the Void Lines and grabbed Xue Fei’s soul. With a Soul Slaying Strike, he destroyed a large number of souls in this scale in one fell swoop.


“Roar!”


“Who are you?”


Although Han Fei’s speed was already extremely fast, two of the Void Lines still exploded in a row. However, when Xue Fei frantically activated his soul, a dark green poison instantly swept across his entire soul.


“Pfft!”


A blue light flashed in the lord’s mansion, and everything here returned to normal, and Xue Fei only had a faint blue soul fire left.


At this moment, the Vast Ocean Navigator in Han Fei’s hand revolved.


In the next moment, Han Fei broke through the void and entered Xue Fei’s Origin Sea.


“How dare you enter my Origin Sea?”


Xue Fei instantly mobilized almost all the power in his Origin Sea to crush Han Fei.


However, Han Fei opened his arms, and between his eyebrows, a small vine extended out, crazily absorbing the spiritual energy, Chaotic Qi, and Immortal Qi in Xue Fei’s Origin Sealike a bottomless hole.


“Ah! Who are you?”


Xue Fei was horrified. This wasn’t just one person attacking him. Just now, in total, there were at least four Sky Opening realm cultivators attacking him. Among them, the sword cultivator’s Sword Dao was too terrifying, and he couldn’t even block his single slash. And this person not only knew the Great Dao of Time, but also could enter his Origin Sea and forcibly take all his power. How could he not be horrified?


However, nothing was more important than his life. Xue Fei roared, “Who are you? You can’t kill me. Ten Thousand Scale Monarch won’t let you go…”


Han Fei grinned. “I’ve already told you! Six strong masters came to the Little Sea Village. We’re from an Origin Ground… Oh, I lied to you about one thing. We’re not in the Sea Establishment realm… You can call me Human Emperor.”






Chapter 2133: Remove Out the Source of the Trouble

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Xue Fei lived in the Sea Realm since he was young, which was a great world, and there was a super powerhouse like the Ten Thousand Scale Monarch in his clan.


But so what? He had never seen a crazy, fearless, and bold person like Han Fei.


A few days ago, he said that he would kill him, and a few days later, he did kill him.


Therefore, no matter what race you were from and no matter how strong this race was, you yourself being strong was what really mattered.


However, Xue Fei couldn’t be blamed. Even if it were another Sky Opening realm powerhouse, he wouldn’t be able to survive Han Fei’s trick today. Of course, there were definitely some particularly abnormal Sky Opening realm powerhouses. Perhaps they could even fight five alone.


However, such a strong master wouldn’t be in a remote place like the 80th Scavenger Sea Area.


When Han Fei came out of Xue Fei’s Origin Sea, the Chaotic Qi and Immortal Qi in his Origin Sea had almost been emptied by Han Fei. Han Fei didn’t care about the rest. Anyway, this guy would be his puppet later.


Xue Fei’s soul was seriously injured, part of his soul was shattered by Han Fei, and his Origin Sea was crazily absorbed. At this point, it was impossible for him to fight back.


In the lord’s residence, Han Fei forcibly appeared with the red scale. He said, “Senior Snail Emperor, Senior Tai Yuan, from now on, detain all the Sea Establishers who come to the lord’s residence. I’ll deal with them after I refine the lord of Mountain City.”


With that, Han Fei dove into his Origin Sea.


At this point, he didn’t have to guard against Xue Fei anymore. When the full power of his Origin Sea pressed on Xue Fei, this guy, who was already weak, couldn’t resist Han Fei’s suppressing pressure.


As the saying went, the winner takes it all. Xue Fei still had some backbone. He said, “Human, even if you trap me and kill me, so what? As long as the Ten Thousand Scale Monarch is here, you humans will never be able to make a comeback. Humans will forever be like ants, unable to walk out of here…”


Bang!


In Han Fei’s Origin Sea, the Great Dao of Time drew seven Time Spears and nailed them to Xue Fei’s soul.


“Ahhh~”


Feeling the pain of his soul, Xue Fei roared, “Kill me if you have the ability! Do you dare? You coward human! How dare you call yourself the Human Emperor…”


Han Fei chuckled. “You know what, I will refine you into a corpse puppet and all the kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race in the city into corpse puppets. I will use your resources and sit on your throne… and rise step by step. Perhaps one day, I will step into the City of Scavengers and kill your Ten Thousand Scale Monarch in the same way. At that time, I will trample the Ten Thousand Scale Race under my feet and return the favor… Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I will let your remnant soul witness this scene…”


“Don’t even think about it…”


While Xue Fei roared, Han Fei performed the refining technique of the Living Dead Puppet step by step. This time, Han Fei didn’t hesitate to invest ten thousand points of soul power.


When the soul vortex in Xue Fei’s soul stirred the souls of the two, Xue Fei gradually lost himself. Han Fei was surprised to find that it only took him 8,500 points of soul power to control a Sky Opening Realm powerhouse like Xue Fei. Although it was 17 times higher than controlling a Sea Establishment Realm powerhouse, this number was completely acceptable to him.


Han Fei was even prepared to invest another ten thousand points of soul power.


It only took Han Fei half a day to refine the lord of this Mountain City in his Origin Sea, which was only dozens of seconds outside.


After the corpse puppet was refined, Han Fei immediately began to plunder Xue Fei’s Origin Sea.


With a thought, Han Fei obtained as many as 209 Star Shells. In the Sea Realm, no one used the Sun-Moon Shells.


Among the 209 Star Shells, 142 of them stored Clean Stones. Each Star Shell had 10 million Clean Stones. It was not hard to imagine what it meant. Although Han Fei didn’t know how much Zhao Jing and the others could dig out in a year, according to the difficulty of mining in the Clean Stone Mine and the refinement of the Clean Stone, it was hard to say if they could dig out 10 million in a hundred years.


Among the 142 Star Shells that stored the Clean Stones, 52 were Xue Fei’s personal belongings. Han Fei took out 12 Star Shells from them for the city defense.


He estimated that Xue Fei must be giving out as few Clean Stones as possible, which would inevitably increase the mortality rate of the people in the city.


Although there were less than 30% of the human race in Mountain City, there were still 800,000 to 900,000 humans. Therefore, he couldn’t be careless about this.


In addition to the Star Shell, Han Fei calculated the Chaotic Qi and Immortal Qi he had absorbed.


For Han Fei, obtaining the Chaotic Qi was not difficult, so he stuffed another 300,000 of the 800,000 wisps he got from Xue Fei’s Origin Sea back. Anyway, Xue Fei had already become his puppet.


As for the Immortal Qi, Han Fei had absorbed a total of 120,000 wisps.


However, Han Fei found that Xue Fei’s Immortal Qi was not as pure as the Immortal Qi he refined, so he didn’t take any of them and stuffed them back.


In the end, Han Fei kept 40 Star Shells of Clean Stones, 500,000 wisps of Chaotic Qi, half of the refining materials, as many as 30 million energy crystals, and a sea chart of the Chaotic Wasteland.


Han Fei and the others had guessed right about this sea chart. As a lord-level powerhouse, Xue Fei did have all the sea maps of the City of Scavengers. Not only that, but he also had a map of the location of primitive graveyards. Of course, there was definitely no entrance to the Raging Sea on it.


However, Han Fei discovered that Xue Fei’s sea chart only included the sea area of the City of Scavengers and the simple sea area layout of the City of Origin. However, the sea area map of the City of Wanderers was missing. Xue Fei didn’t know the sea area of the City of Wanderers at all.


However, whether Xue Fei knew it or not, with this sea chart, he could already leave the Chaotic Wasteland.


After collecting the things, the second thing Han Fei wanted to do was to search Xue Fei’s soul and dig out his memories.


In Xue Fei’s memory, Han Fei saw the so-called City of Scavengers, a magnificent city built under an undersea waterfall.


Han Fei saw the Ten Thousand Scale Monarch from a distance, because Xue Fei wasn’t qualified to meet him yet.


In the City of Scavengers, there were Venerable-level powerhouses almost everywhere. Although there weren’t that many Sea Establishers, there were definitely a lot of them. This was because only when one’s strength reached a certain level would they be sent to the City of Scavengers. Not everyone could enter the main city.


In Xue Fei’s memory, Han Fei found that there were many human beings in the City of Scavengers. However, this human race had completely submitted to the Ten Thousand Scale Race.


Seeing this, Han Fei’s heart sank. Sure enough, under the oppression of the Ten Thousand Scale Race, there was no lack of human powerhouses who surrendered to the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Han Fei couldn’t judge these people easily.


Perhaps these people had lost the honor of a great race, but they had saved their own lives. In the sense of living, they were not wrong.


Han Fei couldn’t help but think of Xu Mao and Chen Qing in Mountain City. Xue Fei must have neglected them for two hundred years to wear down their will and make them completely surrender to the Ten Thousand Scale Race and become their slaves.


“Humph ~”


Han Fei’s eyes turned cold. He had thought that the first enemy he would face after leaving the Raging Sea would be the An family, but he didn’t expect it to be the Ten Thousand Scale Race he was completely unfamiliar with.


However, as for the Ten Thousand Scale Race enslaving the human race, this grudge had been formed.


Only then did Han Fei understand that the number of strong masters in the City of Scavengers far exceeded his imagination. There were more than a hundred Sky Opening Realm powerhouses in the City of Scavengers.


In fact, the lords who could control the domains alone had all made contributions in the past, which was why they were conferred the title of lord. In the City of Scavengers, there were at least twice as many emperors. They seemed to have some conflicts with the City of Wanderers and the City of Origin, mostly because of the primitive graveyards.


Therefore, the three main cities in the Chaotic Wasteland were actually not on good terms.


Xue Fei was conferred the title of lord because he had once killed a Sky Opening Realm powerhouse from the City of Wanderers alone.


According to Xue Fei’s memories, the status of the human race in the City of Wanderers didn’t seem to be bad. The person he killed back then was from the human race.


Han Fei couldn’t help being tempted. Being able to open the sky in the City of Wanderers meant that the human race’s status in the City of Wanderers was much higher than in the City of Scavengers.


Because there was too little information, Han Fei didn’t think too much about it. In the end, he estimated that in addition to hundreds of lords, there were hundreds of Sky Openers left in the City of Scavengers.


In addition, in the City of Scavengers, there were at least hundreds of Sky Opening Realm powerhouses, but these people were not in the Chaotic Wasteland.


These people crossed the Godfiend Sea and went to a place called the Infinite Mining Area to become mine owners.


Unfortunately, Xue Fei had never been to the Infinite Mining Area, so he didn’t have any memories of that place.


…


Three days later.


Buzz!


In the lord’s residence, when Han Fei came out, he saw the lord of Mountain City with a complete body appear in front of Wang Yijian and the others.


However, when the lord faced Han Fei and the others, he still had the same momentum as before, but he ignored Han Fei and the others.


The Snail Emperor exclaimed, “Your puppet doesn’t look like a puppet at all! Why does it feel much more agile than Hong Yue’s puppet?”


Han Fei said with a smile, “In a sense, he’s not a puppet. He preserved his soul, Great Dao, and combat skills. The only difference is that his soul is controlled by me and won’t betray him. Okay, we have to remove the source of the trouble. The lord of Mountain City has already become a puppet. We don’t have to worry about being discovered anymore.”







Chapter 2134: Meeting All the Emperors

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
The lord of Mountain City, Xue Fei, was controlled by Han Fei, which meant that Mountain City had changed hands. With the way the Ten Thousand Scale Race treated the human race, how could Han Fei let the kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race off?


At this moment, the battlefield outside had just been cleaned up, and Yan Dong came to report the results of the battle with the city guards.


“My lord…”


“Come in!”


Xue Fei was still Xue Fei, but he had become a puppet. Han Fei also wanted to test if this puppet could really deceive everyone and not even the people closest to him could discover it.


Yan Dong entered, followed by the captains of the guards guarding the four city gates. Of course, the frogman captain Han Fei controlled was also among them.


Xue Fei sat on the throne and said coldly, “Speak.”


Yan Dong seemed to have long been used to Xue Fei’s attitude. Although the lord was dignified, he was actually relatively easy to talk to, so he said bluntly, “The results of this battle have been announced, and there are basically no injuries. A total of 109 Venerables and 1,012 Explorers have died in our Mountain City. More than 520,000 Clean Stones have been consumed, accounting for 5% of the current reserve of Clean Stones. The energy crystals obtained are all obtained by the people in the city. It is estimated that more than 2 million energy crystals will be produced…”


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. This battle record was indeed good. He had nothing to say. There were so many ominous creatures, including many powerful ones. Under the effect of the Clean Stones, the threat they posed was pitifully small.


Han Fei once again felt that the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique was too suitable for the Chaotic Wasteland. It was simply a cultivation place specially prepared for him.


520,000 Clean Stones accounted for 5% of the usage, which meant that Mountain City had a reserve of more than 100 million Clean Stones.


Han Fei thought to himself, Even I have had more than a billion.


According to the memories Han Fei obtained from Xue Fei, the total investment for each tide wave was at least between 600 million and 800 million.


Before, Han Fei didn’t quite understand. When the tide wave came, the city had the ability to gather the Clear Stones, but those small villages didn’t have the ability to gather so many Clear Stones!


However, after this impact of the ominous creatures, Han Fei discovered that in fact, to resist the ominous creatures, only the city-protecting array needed to be shown. The ominous creatures were afraid of the Clean Stones. After the array was activated, the entire city was like a light shield. The ominous creatures wouldn’t rush over like moths to a flame.


However, in order to obtain more energy crystals, the city would usually set up a three-layered city protection array. The first and second barriers at the periphery would be opened intermittently, so as to lure a large number of ominous creatures into this place and then activate the last city protection array, which could have a stifling effect.


By repeating this, a single tide wave could obtain a large number of energy crystals.


And the way the villages operated was actually the same as Mountain City. However, the villages and towns didn’t have so many Clean Stones. Therefore, when they killed the ominous creatures, there wouldn’t be many Clean Stones for them to use, because the number of Clean Stones was limited, so naturally there wouldn’t be too many ominous creatures killed.


Listening to Yan Dong’s report, in fact, the result of this wave of attacks on the city was not good. It was equivalent to exchanging clean stones for resources. In the entire Mountain City, on average, no one could even get one.


Therefore, it was obviously unrealistic to expect that this wave of ominous creatures could improve the overall cultivation strength of Mountain City in the next hundred years. This was probably the main reason why Mountain City kept looting clean stones from the villages.


Yan Dong continued, “Since the first wave of ominous creatures has appeared, the tide wave may come a few days in advance. We’ll welcome the tide wave in three days. My lord, the Stone of Purification…”


What Yan Dong wanted to say was that the Clean Stone reserves in the city were definitely not enough. This time, the ominous creatures were only on a small scale. Since the first time had begun, from today on, there would be more and more of them, more and more frequently. With the current reserve of Clean Stones in the city, they could barely hold on until the tide wave came.


Therefore, Yan Dong was asking Mountain City Lord for resources.


At this moment, Han Fei had a good understanding of the resources required in Mountain City.


He grunted. “When you become my puppets, I’ll give them to you.”


“Huh?”


Yan Dong and the others were stunned. In the next moment, beside Yan Dong, the frogman puppet suddenly attacked.


Yan Dong had no time to react because the surrounding void had been locked down. A terrifying suppressing pressure descended, and a terrifying roar erupted in his mind. At that moment, his soul trembled as if it was about to be shattered.


Before the three of them could react, Mountain City Lord had already appeared in front of them.


Yan Dong immediately shouted, “Run!”


At this moment, he would be a fool if he didn’t run. Something was clearly wrong with his lord.


Unfortunately, it was too late for them to run. The surrounding void became extremely sticky. Even if they ignited their blood, they couldn’t move at all.


Bang! Bang! Bang!


At this moment, Han Fei appeared and slapped each of them on the head. The slap almost shattered their souls.


His fate had been decided the moment he entered the lord’s residence.


Of course, even if they didn’t enter the lord’s residence, they couldn’t escape the fate of becoming puppets.


After a while, Yan Dong and the others also became Han Fei’s puppets.


Since then, this Mountain City had been completely taken by Han Fei.


After only four hours, Han Fei refined all the kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race in Mountain City into his puppets.


In total, there were one Sky Opener and 21 Sea Establishers.


The rest were not kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Most of them came to Mountain City to avoid the tide wave, so Han Fei didn’t attack them.


The Ten Thousand Scale kings controlled by Han Fei were quickly arranged to return to their posts.


Therefore, no one noticed anything unusual. After all, it was normal for a king and a lord to disappear for a moment.


At this moment, Han Fei didn’t release the kings from his Origin Sea.


At this moment, in the lord’s residence, Tai Yuan and the others were waiting for the result of Han Fei’s soul search.


Han Fei said, “We have the sea chart to leave the Chaotic Wasteland. However, there is only the sea chart of the Chaotic Wasteland. The lord doesn’t have any sea chart of other places in the East Sea Divine Realm.”


Wang Yijian said, “That’s enough. As long as we leave the Chaotic Wasteland, we can do whatever we want. At that time, it’s up to us where we go.”


Han Fei nodded slightly and took out a jade slip. “This is the sea chart of the Chaotic Wasteland. The part of the City of Wanderers is missing. Senior Sword God, Senior Yijian, I guess you must be going to the Eastern Sword Pavilion, right? Senior Snail Emperor, what do you think?”


The Snail Emperor smiled. “I haven’t decided yet. I’ll go out and take a look first.”


Tai Yuan: “Han Fei, what do you think?”


Han Fei said, “I will stay in the Chaotic Wasteland.”


Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they understood. Han Fei was the Human Emperor and walked the Great Dao of the Human Emperor. In the Chaotic Wasteland, countless humans were still suffering. It was unrealistic for Han Fei to leave now.


Han Fei said, “According to my soul-searching results, in the East Sea Divine Realm, except for the Chaotic Wasteland, the Godfiend Sea, and the Infinite Mining Area, you should be able to go to all other places. Besides, all races can go there, and there are no special restrictions on races. For example, the East Sword Pavilion is where countless sword cultivators from all races gather. There’s also the Fist Light Mountain. Senior Tai Yuan, you walk the path of body refinement, so that place should be more suitable for you. Senior Kong Shen, your path is different. The Capital of Horror of the East Sea Divine Realm should be your best choice. Senior Snail Emperor, I really don’t have any idea where you should go, but if you really don’t have a place to go, the Divine Capital Dynasty is where all races in the East Sea Divine Realm gather. It’s said that the system there is strict. You can consider that place.”


The Snail Emperor nodded and said, “No one wants to kill a snail for treasure, right?”


Han Fei smiled and said, “Among the myriad of races, there are many strong masters who have treasures all over their bodies. If the Divine Capital Dynasty can’t even protect the guests in the city, how can it rule the East Sea Divine Realm?”


The Sword God nodded slightly. “In that case, it seems that the Chaotic Wasteland where you are is the most dangerous. The burden of protecting the Raging Sea will be on you.”


Han Fei grinned. “The Chaotic Wasteland might be the most suitable place for me in the entire East Sea Divine Realm. At least, for now, it seems that there are still a lot of things for me to do here.”


The Sword God asked, “Should we release the kings in our Origin Seas?”


Han Fei’s heart did a flip. “Not for now. I’ll ask them for their choice after the tide wave. Only you know that I control Mountain City. It’s best that others don’t know. However, I still want to ask you to do something.”


Tai Yuan: “Tell me.”


Han Fei said, “I want to ask you to erase your memories about coming out of the Raging Sea and coming to Mountain City before leaving here.”


The Snail Emperor: “Doesn’t that mean we don’t even know how to return to the Raging Sea?”


Han Fei said with a smile, “You don’t know it now, right? As long as I don’t die, this path will always exist. Even if I die, I still have an avatar. I won’t let this path completely disappear.”


The Sword God and the others nodded slightly. “Okay! That’s good. In case something really happens to us, it will implicate the Raging Sea.”






Chapter 2135: Tide Wave Came

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei, the Sword God, and the others all made their own choices. For Han Fei, the benefits of staying in the Chaotic Wasteland were far greater than leaving it.


He was different from the Sword God and the others. The Sword God and the others had already lived for tens of thousands of years. Their Sword Palaces and their Origin Seas were already big enough. What they lacked was to confirm their Great Dao and seek a breakthrough.


However, it was not the time for Han Fei to seek a breakthrough yet. He was now building a foundation. Filling resources, expanding the Origin Sea, and improving his strength were what he needed to do most at the moment.


As for the Chaotic Wasteland, there were a massive number of resources hidden here. Han Fei could ignore one energy crystal, and even ten thousand energy crystals were dispensable to him, but what about a million, ten million, or even a billion… A mere lord had provided him with 30 million energy crystals in the blink of an eye.


In addition, he had looted about 40 million energy crystals from the Origin Seas of those kings of the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Although there was a difference in the level of energy crystals, the ownerless souls in the energy crystals was already a shocking number.


In the Little Sea Village, a Venerable-level energy crystal contained eight wisps of Chaotic Qi, 102 ownerless souls, and 110,000 points of spiritual energy, then what about 40 million of energy crystals?


Therefore, before the tide wave came, Han Fei directly entered his Origin Sea to expand it.


When the infinite Chaotic Qi was extracted from the energy crystal, there were as many as 200 million wisps. Han Fei couldn’t help being shocked. If he opened the endless void every day to absorb it, how long would it take?


Therefore, Han Fei refined the Chaotic Qi with the Yin-Yang Millstone every day in his Origin Sea and transformed it into Immortal Qi. It took him two years, but he still failed to completely transform this part of the Chaotic Qi into Immortal Qi.


Before the resources were converted, Mountain City had already welcomed the eleventh attack of the ominous creatures. Furthermore, the scale of the attack was gradually increasing.


According to the tradition of Mountain City, for all the ominous creatures that came to attack before the tide wave, it was on a first-come, first-served basis, and resources belonged to those who grabbed them.


It was precisely this that consolidated the rule of the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Before the tide wave, there were usually about ten waves of ominous creatures attacking the city. It was uncertain, but there were twenty waves at most.


For ordinary people, they only hoped that this kind of siege would happen as many times as possible. The more times it happened, the more benefits they would get.


This time, Mountain City only welcomed a total of 11 attacks on the city. Although many people felt it was a pity, this was also within their calculations. 11 times was already not bad. The worst situation in history only had 5 attacks, so the gains were pitifully small.


Today was the eighth day since Han Fei and the others came to Mountain City. Before the ninth day arrived, the tide wave came.


The arrival of this tide wave was about five days earlier than expected. The speed of the tide wave was not very fast, like a sandstorm or a seawave tide. It would take some time to arrive from being discovered. This time could be as slow as half a day, so there was enough time for the strong masters in the city to prepare.


Those who came earlier than the tide waves were naturally ominous creatures. This should be the most powerful attack of the ominous creatures in the early stage.


The siege this time would last for at least six to eight hours. Of course, not every moment, there were countless ominous creatures rushing into the city. The number wouldn’t be more than the previous few times, or even less. But the persistence was far from what the previous few times could compare.


On the city wall, Han Fei’s puppets were shouting, “All explorers and above, go to the city gate to collect the Clean Stones. Each person is limited to 300 pieces. After the battle, each person needs to pay 120 energy crystals of the corresponding level according to your strength. Hurry up, all of you shall go to the battlefield within half an hour…”


Such roars rose and fell.


The power of one person was limited in the end. However, if millions of people participated in the battle, the energy crystals they could obtain in the end would be a terrifying number.


And each person received 300 clean stones first. This was not a gift, but a loan. If there was a loan, they naturally had to return it. According to Mountain City’s usual practice, if they gave out 300 clean stones, they had to collect 120 energy crystals back. According to the one-to-one ratio, it was equivalent to Mountain City Lord collecting 40% of the harvest. Of course, in a battle, there would inevitably be losses. 300 clean stones couldn’t be exchanged for 300 energy crystals for everyone. Under normal circumstances, it was already not bad if they could get 200 energy crystals back.


Apart from the losses in battle and the number of energy crystals that had to be handed over, the average number of energy crystals obtained might be between 180 and 220, so they could keep about 60 to 100 energy crystals for themselves.


If the first 11 waves of ominous creatures attacked the city, the people could actually obtain a lot of energy crystals. Of course, compared to the ruler, they naturally obtained too little.


More than two million people took action, and the total gains after the battle were actually only about 50% more than what the lord of Mountain City took.


Of course, there was no lack of strong masters who could increase the usage rate of the Clean Stones to more than 90% in the battle of the tide waves. Generally speaking, these people were all extremely talented. After every tide wave, some outstanding talents would be selected from these people and sent to the City of Scavengers.


Of course, there usually wouldn’t be more than a thousand people sent to the City of Scavengers each time. This could be decided according to the will of each lord.


At this moment.


When the battle began, the people in Mountain City heard that there were about 300 Clean Stones that could be collected this year, which was 30 higher than the previous year. This made many people happy.


Someone said, “This time, the number of Clean Stones has increased, but the number of stones submitted has also increased. We must pay attention to the efficiency of using the Clean Stones. Don’t use them blindly. Otherwise, if we participate in the battle but end up gaining nothing, it won’t be worthwhile.”


Someone said solemnly, as if a father was warning his son, “My son, listen up. Under the tide wave, the probability of death is greatly increased. Remember, don’t take risks or be greedy. Once you encounter danger, even if you have to use a few more stones, you must protect yourself.”


A wife said to her husband, “If you and I join forces, it’s equivalent to 600 Clean Stones. We have to take out a hundred as a guarantee. When we reach the hundred-piece warning line, we must be more careful. Otherwise, if you die, I can’t live alone.”


When the tide wave came, the entire Mountain City fell into an inexplicable nervousness. However, in Han Fei’s opinion, this was nothing.


In the face of such an impact, the probability of death was less than 10%. This was actually not bad. Compared to the Heavenly Desolate City, the island guarding war of the Scattered Stars Island, and the wars in the Thirty-Six Mystic Worlds he had once seen, this was nothing.


As soon as Han Fei came out of the Origin Sea, he heard the Sword God say, “Han Fei, you should let the kings come out to take a look at such a scene, right? Otherwise, if they miss this chance, they might never see it again.”


Tai Yuan said, “You have to keep the matter of you controlling Mountain City a secret. Why don’t you trap them in the Lord’s Mansion? They can only watch, not hear, and not obtain any information about their surroundings. What do you think?”


Han Fei thought for a moment and nodded slightly. “Okay, but I have to let them watch in a proper way.”


…


Buzz!


Swish! Swish! Swish!


In the Lord’s Mansion, Luo Xiaobai and the others appeared in an array barrier, except for Li Luoluo.


Han Fei couldn’t see through Li Luoluo. He guessed that this woman couldn’t be so simple. Therefore, others might be able to see the tide wave, but not Li Luoluo.


At least, he could more or less believe the others, who were all from the Thirty-Six Mystic Worlds. Only Li Luoluo and her background were unknown.


The moment everyone left, Han Fei said to Li Luoluo in the Origin Sea, “I’ll only tell you a simple outline of the outside world, but I don’t believe you, so there are some things I won’t let you participate in. Can you understand?”


Li Luoluo curled her lips slightly. “Am I so untrustworthy? I don’t know much about the Sea Realm!”


Han Fei chuckled. “Don’t try that on me. You’ll have plenty of time to find out when you get out.”


Han Fei didn’t talk much to Li Luoluo. His distrust of her was obvious.


Outside, when Luo Xiaobai and the others appeared and found that they were trapped in a barrier, they were all stunned.


Luo Xiaobai asked, “Han Fei, what do you mean?”


Zhang Xuanyu asked, “Feifei! Why are we trapped in this barrier?”


Han Fei said, “There are some things that I can only show you, but I can’t let you participate. I can’t tell you where this place is, because I fear that if anything happens in the future, my plan here will be exposed. However, I want you to see this world, so I can only let you see it through the sky curtain…”


Luo Xiaobai and the other two immediately understood. They didn’t expect Han Fei to start to carry out his plan in the Sea Realm so soon. Since it was important and there were so many kings here, they certainly had to be careful.


The Snow Lady said, “We should consider the big picture. Human Emperor, you don’t have to worry about us.”


Hong Yue said, “We’re all at your beck and call, Master Human Emperor.”


Zhang Xuanyu said, “Feifei, just do it. It’s not bad to watch the sky curtain.”







Chapter 2136: Clash of Light and Darkness

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Originally, if Tai Yuan and the others hadn’t said anything, Han Fei didn’t intend to let the kings witness this battle.


This scene might be grand, but the kings could still know the basic situation of the Chaotic Wasteland from others’ description.


The reason why he agreed was that Han Fei felt that seeing it with their own eyes might be more shocking and remind them how dangerous the Sea Realm was.


Han Fei had controlled the Sky Hanging Mirror for so many years, so it wasn’t difficult for him to create a sky curtain.


The sky curtain bloomed, showing the real-time situation inside and outside of the city walls. Except for the fact that there was no voice, it was almost no different from watching a movie.


For a moment, someone was surprised. “Is this the Sea Realm? Someone has a tail? And a horn on his head?”


Zhang Xuanyu said, “There are a few people in the city. When they stand up, they are like knives. What weird creatures.”


Han Fei said, “They are not creatures, but the Blade Clan. They were born with four bodies like knives, but after they transformed, they kept two hands in the shape of knives.”


Le Renkuang asked, “What race is the one covered in scales?”


Han Fei said, “That’s the Ten Thousand Scale Clan, the ruling race in the super-large sea area where we are. They have Monarchs.”


“Hiss?”


“Monarchs?”


All the kings gasped. Did they encounter such a powerful race the moment they came out?


Le Renkuang was dumbfounded. “Living Monarchs?”


Han Fei said, “Of course!”


Luo Xiaobai asked, “Are they fighting? There are three lines of defense inside and outside, and why are their weapons emitting a milky luster?”


Han Fei said, “You need to know this place. It’s called the Chaotic Wasteland…”


Outside, while the entire city was preparing for battle, Han Fei was teaching Luo Xiaobai and the others about the Chaotic Wasteland.


The kings exclaimed in shock from time to time.


“What? A village of only 300,000 people has a Sea Establisher?”


“What? People here can easily encounter a group of ominous creatures with thousands of Venerables?”


“How is it possible? 30% of the people in a city are Venerables, and dozens are in the Sea Establishment Realm? How can there be so many strong masters?”


“What? A city with millions of people has a Sky Opening realm powerhouse guard ir?”


For a moment, all the kings were dumbfounded. If what Han Fei said was true, then the Sea Realm was too terrifying. This was the most remote place in the East Sea Divine Realm. Then what kind of place was the Divine Capital Dynasty?


However, when Han Fei finished explaining everything, everyone’s heart did a flip. Since there was a Sky Opener in this city, what did it mean that Han Fei could still release all of them? It meant that while they were in the Origin Seas, Han Fei had already f*cking killed a Sky Opening realm powerhouse.


Luo Xiaobai glanced at Hong Yue and seemed to have guessed something.


Luo Xiaobai and the others had known that Han Fei could control others. A few days ago, Han Fei specially went to Hong Yue, but what did Hong Yue do? He was a corpse refiner. Therefore, Luo Xiaobai was almost sure that since Han Fei dared to let them out, the lord must have been controlled by him.


As for whether he had become a refined corpse, she didn’t know, but he was definitely not dead.


And among everyone, the most excited one, who was so excited that his body was trembling slightly, was Hong Yue.


Hong Yue thought that the world that Han Fei described was simply prepared for him. In the past, in the Thirty-Six Mystic Worlds, there were only civil wars between humans and the wars between humans and sea demons.


In a situation where everyone’s strength was about the same, it was very difficult to kill a Sea Establisher. They needed a complete corpse to refine a corpse puppet. Even if he was confident of killing a king, he wasn’t confident of leaving a complete corpse of that person.


However, in this Chaotic Wasteland, there were actually other races who enslaved humans. Thinking of how Han Fei asked him for corpse refining techniques a few days ago, Hong Yue had already guessed 70% of what had happened.


He estimated that the kings and even the Sky Opening realm lord in this city might have already become living corpses. Although he didn’t know how Han Fei embarked on this Great Dao, it turned out that Han Fei had succeeded.


Hong Yue knew very well that this place was very suitable for refining corpses. Besides, from the perspective of Human Emperor Han Fei, this Ten Thousand Scale Clan dared to enslave humans, so they were definitely mortal enemies.


In this way, he immediately became the most likely to help Han Fei among the kings. As long as he refined corpses well, he could help Han Fei conquer a few more cities in the future. Not only would he be a hero of the human race, but he could also quickly improve his strength. How could he not be excited?


Han Fei glanced at Hong Yue and didn’t say anything, because this guy’s guess was right. He did have to put this guy in an important position. This guy was really the only one who could refine corpses.


Han Fei said, “Okay! Take your time to digest the information about the Sea Realm. Next, it’s the tide wave I mentioned. You just need to watch here.”


Letting them see it was already Han Fei’s bottom line. Without absolute confidence, Han Fei would never let them know what a place Mountain City was.


And most of these kings would leave with Tai Yuan, leave the Chaotic Wasteland, and go to a great world. No matter what their relationship was before, now, these people were all human beings.


…


About an hour later.


The ominous creatures at the front had already appeared in the sight of the city guards.


On the city gate, the kings all shouted, “Attack freely.”


Because the ominous creatures coming were not so dense, if they shot them from a distance, they would waste a lot of Clean Stone resources.


The ordinary people were only assigned 300 Clean Stones. How could they bear to spend them here?


Therefore, on the opposite side of the south gate of Mountain City, more than 300,000 Venerables and countless Explorers poured out. This was the time for them to harvest, because once the ominous creatures became dense and the guard captain ordered a retreat, this wave of resources would have nothing to do with them.


“Kill!”


“Kill in an orderly manner. Don’t scramble.”


“Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!”


When people rushed out of the city gates, the nearly million Venerables attacked at the same time. The sky was full of light and shadows, erupting with a gorgeous and holy brilliance in the depths of the sea.


The first wave of ominous creatures was slaughtered almost in an instant.


Venerables generally wouldn’t attack Explorer-level ominous creatures because it wasn’t worth wasting the Clean Stones in their hands. Therefore, Explorer-level ominous creatures fell into the hands of Explorers.


At this moment, the people in Mountain City were like swallowing machines. No matter how many ominous creatures came, they would be gone in an instant. If it weren’t for the fact that they didn’t dare to attack too far away, they might have already run ten thousand kilometers away.


In the Lord’s Mansion, Zhang Xuanyu and the others were shocked to see this scene.


Someone exclaimed, “There are really millions of Venerables?”


Someone was stunned. “With such combat power, how can the intruders break through?”


The Snow Lady said, “The ominous creatures are afraid of the white light. That stone should be a good thing that can cleanse the ominous.”


Liang Yin said, “However, with so many people using it, the consumption of this thing is astonishing. There are endless ominous creatures. No matter how many stones there are, I’m afraid they won’t be enough!”


Zhang Xuanyu asked, “Why do you think so much? If they didn’t have any means, how could they have survived here for hundreds of thousands of years?”


This battle lasted for four hours.


Four hours later, when a group of Demon Flag Fish rushed over like rays of light, for the first time, many strong masters on the Mountain City’s side died.


This Flag Fish was like a sharp sword piercing through the sea. Even ordinary Venerables didn’t dare to resist them easily. The moment hundreds of Venerables were stabbed by the Flag Fish, sounds of retreat came from the city.


A king shouted, “Retreat to the city!”


A Venerable had just used his ultimate move and wasted five or six Clean Stones to purify a dozen ominous creatures. Although he knew that the Demon Flag Fish had come, he couldn’t bear the loss of five or six Clean Stones. Seeing that the dozen energy crystals were right in front of him, he gritted his teeth and was about to snatch them back before retreating.


But in an instant, a dense swarm of Demon Flag Fish had arrived. When he wanted to retreat, it was already too late.


Even if the man regretted and detonated dozens of Clean Stones at once, at that moment, he had already been pierced and shattered, only leaving some Clean Stones on the ground.


There were many people like this. At least at that moment, nearly a thousand people died like this.


Venerables could be reborn with blood, but under such circumstances, it was meaningless.


Therefore, someone chose to self-destruct.


Bang! Bang! Bang!


When one explosion after another occurred, Luo Xiaobai and the others couldn’t help being shocked. Thousands of strong masters had died just like that?


If the dead were mostly Explorers, they could understand. However, the dead were mostly Venerables. This shocked them. It was like that an entire Thirty-Six Mystic Worlds were gone in a moment!






Chapter 2137: Battle to Defend the City

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
At this time, there were only less than four hours left before the arrival of the tide wave. The density of the ominous creatures had greatly increased, and the price of fighting freely was rapidly increasing.


Most people knew that something was wrong and shouted, “Retreat! Don’t be stingy with those energy crystals!”


When the defending army returned to their positions, the defending army that had already been prepared began the Cleansing Stone Arrow Rain attack like in the previous battles. The sky was full of Holy Light Arrows that cut through the sky, blocking the enemies to facilitate retreat of the army.


At this time, these city guards consumed war supplies, which didn’t belong to them. This was because they couldn’t participate in free hunting, so after the battle, as long as they didn’t die, they could get additional energy crystals.


Of course, not everyone could join the city guards. These people were all in the Venerable realm. Without exception, the selection was very strict, so the others could only be jealous.


Swish! Swish! Swish!


Round after round of arrows swept across. From a third perspective, the scene was like a meteorite explosion. The holy arrows never stopped. In just half an hour, the number of stones consumed reached an astonishing five million.


Of course, outside Mountain City, there were also a large number of energy crystals.


In the Lord’s Mansion, Zhang Xuanyu and the others were surprised. “Is that the so-called Clean Stone? This is a battle of attrition! The battle strategy is not good at all.”


Luo Xiaobai said, “You can’t say that. This might be the uniqueness of the Chaotic Wasteland. What they used are resources, but what they gain back is also resources. It’s equivalent to exchanging resources with these ominous creatures. But the resources exchanged can greatly help cultivators grow quickly.”


Le Renkuang said, “I’m thinking, what if they finish this kind of stone? They have to have a war like this every hundred years and this is just one city.”


Someone said, “We haven’t even dug up all the resources in the Raging Sea. Besides, the outside world is so vast. There must be many such Clean Stone mineral veins.”


Not to mention Zhang Xuanyu and the others, even Han Fei and the others were shocked. Every second, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Clean Stones were consumed. At this speed, when the tide wave came, it would consume at least hundreds of millions of Clean Stones, or even more.


About an hour later, the Clean Stone Arrow couldn’t completely resist the impact of these ominous creatures.


However, the city guards had already made preparations. They had set up a large number of Clean Stone Water Thunder for thousands of kilometers outside the city. Above the city, the Clean Stone Shield was also ready.


Bang! Bang! Bang!


When a massive number of ominous creatures rushed over, the Clean Stone Water Thunder that burst out illuminated the entire Mountain City, like holy light enveloping the land. Most people’s vision was only filled with white, and they couldn’t tell how many ominous creatures were coming from ahead.


However, the guards at the periphery were all prepared for battle, waiting for the commander’s order.


As large swaths of lightning flashed, when the first ominous creature rushed within a hundred kilometers of Mountain City, with a buzz, a holy light barrier suddenly rose two thousand kilometers away.


This holy light barrier enveloped the entire Mountain City in order. Mountain City’s defensive array had been activated an hour in advance.


The kings shouted, “All soldiers, attack! The battle will only last for half an hour.”


Roar!


“Kill!”


Ripples kept appearing on the city-protecting array. Countless ominous creatures collided with the array.


However, the collisions and vibrations were rapidly decreasing. Han Fei and the others could perceive that the moment the city-protecting array was activated, a large number of ominous creatures took the initiative to avoid it. They stopped attacking the city and rushed somewhere.


Seeing this scene, Han Fei and the others couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the ominous creatures were afraid of the power of the Clean Stone. When the entire city was enveloped by the light of the Clean Stone, they lost interest in Mountain City.


But Han Fei knew that in the ten years after the tide wave, it was also the peak of hunting. Although the tide wave had passed, a large number of ominous creatures would stay in the sea area of the Chaotic Wasteland. These creatures would occasionally attack the city, but at that time, the number wouldn’t be as dense as now.


Therefore, the ten years after this battle would be the fastest ten years for the people in the city to cultivate. Some people would even save some Clean Stones for hunting.


Of course, those ten years were also the most dangerous ten years. During and in the ten years after the tide waves, it was very easy for powerful creatures to be born among the ominous creatures, and even creatures in the Sky Opening realm would be born.


After all, a massive number of ominous creatures were not the same species. They would also devour each other.


Therefore, in the ten years after the battle, it could be said that only a small number of ominous creatures were killed, and most of them were swallowed by each other.


In the end, these ominous creatures would form stronger races, and strong masters would be born.


The 2,000 kilometers outside the city were blocked, and the Venerables rushed over crazily. They couldn’t wait to kill these ominous creatures, because the more they killed, the more resources they would get. It was simple like that. If you didn’t want resources, there would be others who wanted them.


When nearly a million Venerables charged forward, this scene was like steel torrents colliding.


Someone used a great technique to trap an ominous creature and then purified it with a Clean Stone.


Someone was pierced by a thorn out of nowhere, and a large amount of black fog entered his body. In the blink of an eye, he fell into madness and attacked his companions.


Someone killed an ominous creature but died in the hands of others.


Someone attacked bravely three times in a row.


A mere 2,000 kilometers couldn’t trap many ominous creatures. After a few rounds of killing, all the ominous creatures were slaughtered.


When the army retreated, the city guards set up the Clean Stone Water Thunder again, and Han Fei reactivated the array and trapped a large number of ominous creatures again.


After only two tries, with a bang, the tide wave finally crashed over. A large amount of black fog directly enveloped the entire Mountain City.


The guard captains all shouted, “No one is allowed to attack.”


The city-protecting array was divided into three levels. The first level was 2,000 kilometers away. This level was bound to be broken because the coverage was too large. The larger the coverage, the more Clean Stones it would consume.


Therefore, the outermost array would only last for four hours, and the tide wave would last for as long as two days.


Two hour passed.


“Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!”


Suddenly, someone shouted, “Look, the first array has opened.”


The guard leader shouted, “Everyone, listen up. Prepare to charge.”


When a crack appeared on the first layer of the city protection array, it meant that this major array was not far from collapse. And as more and more cracks appeared, more and more ominous creatures would rush out of the cracks. Of course, this time, there was also an ominous aura rushing in.


However, there was not much ominous aura. They could use the first layer of the city protection array to launch the last round of attacks before the first-level array was broken.


In the array, the army was charging.


Outside the array, Han Fei tried to release his perception, only to find that once his soul touched the overwhelming ominous aura, it would be melted.


An hour later.


Just as the first layer of the array was almost riddled with holes, suddenly, with a bang, the array exploded and cracked. Something broke through the array, which was a head more than 300 meters long.


In the city, the kings who weren’t controlled by Han Fei were all shocked.


“Not good. There are powerful ominous creatures in this round. Their birth speed is too fast.”


Han Fei’s puppets all shouted, “Retreat!”


Crack!


The first major array was rapidly cracking. The city-protecting array was about to collapse faster. If they were not careful, the city would suffer heavy losses. Han Fei estimated that at least 10% of the population would die.


But the Sword God and the others were still disguised as frogmen, and it was not suitable for Han Fei to attack either.


Beside Xue Fei, Han Fei shouted in a low voice, “Knock it out of the array.”


Bang!


In the blink of an eye, Xue Fei charged forward with a mighty might. He held a thousand Clean Stones in his hand and blasted the snake head away. At the same time, Xue Fei also rushed out of the array and fell into the black ominous aura.


Han Fei also wanted to take the opportunity to experience the strangeness of the ominous aura, so he appeared outside the array.


However, Xue Fei relied on the Clean Stones to resist the ominous aura.


Holy light enveloped Han Fei as the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique was activated.


Countless strong masters in Mountain City were shocked. Why did the Lord attack personally? Could it be an ominous creature in the Sky Opening realm?


 




Chapter 2138: Take Care

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei wanted to enter the ominous mist in person just to confirm his situation in the ominous mist. He needed to prove that the Great Dao of Heaven Enlightenment was completely suitable for the Chaotic Wasteland.


In the ominous mist, people’s perception couldn’t penetrate, because once their perception touched the mist, it would melt and even affect them. Therefore, even the emperors could only see a faint light in the dark mist.


When Han Fei stepped into the ominous mist, he found that the visibility was at most ten meters, and it was full of black mist here.


Xue Fei used the Clean Stones to illuminate the surroundings. Han Fei’s body glowed like a bright moon in the darkness.


At this moment, Han Fei saw the dragon snake that was thousands of meters long.


At that moment, information popped up in Han Fei’s eyes.


< Name > Ultimate Dark Yin Snake (Filthy)


< Introduction > A marine creature contaminated by the ominous tide. Because it has swallowed endless ominous creatures, it has already developed consciousness and has an extremely strong desire to grow. It can swallow other people’s negative emotions and influence other people’s emotions, stimulating the darkness in their hearts.


< Level > 100


< Quality > Primordial Mutant


< Realm > Sky Opening


< Battle Technique > Supreme Yin Turbid Water, Indestructible Demon Body, Dark Tide, Roar of Losing Control


< Collectible > Pure energy crystal


< Absorbable > Non-absorbable


< Remarks > Don’t touch ominous creatures.


Roar!


As soon as Han Fei saw the information, he felt that his eardrums were shaking. This Ultimate Dark Yin Snake had launched the Roar of Losing Control at him. Han Fei felt his heart sink and suddenly had an urge to wipe out the Ten Thousand Scale Race, he even wanted to swallow all the gains from this battle in Mountain City.


However, Han Fei was new here. His purpose for the Chaotic Wasteland was very simple, which was to solve the Ten Thousand Scale Clan and save the suffering humans from fire and water. Also, he wanted to destroy the An family and protect the Raging Sea.


Therefore, there was really nothing dark in Han Fei’s heart now. He just snorted and activated the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique.


Boom ~


The Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique was like an indelible dazzling light in the boundless black fog. The pillar of light descended in an instant. When the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique blasted onto the Ultimate Dark Yin Snake, it actually turned into a mass of black water, with a black water pillar blocking the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique.


This should be the Supreme Yin Turbid Water Body of the Ultimate Dark Yin Snake, which seemed to be erupting with evil power.


Of course, the Supreme Yin Turbid Water was constantly being purified. Obviously, the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique had an absolute suppressing effect on even ominous creatures in the Sky Opening realm.


However, Han Fei also discovered another thing, which was that the Ultimate Dark Yin Snake could absorb a large amount of ominous energy from this massive amount of ominous energy to replenish itself.


Of course, this replenishment speed was not as fast as it was purified by him.


However, Han Fei discovered that if he wanted to completely purify this thing in the tide wave, he would probably have to consume at least ten thousand years of his lifespan.


After all, the snake was also a Sky Opener and could absorb ominous aura from the tide waves. Han Fei didn’t fight it head-on, but asked Xue Fei to form a barrier with the Clean Stone Array, trying to wrap this place up.


Clatter ~


When one black water ripple after another, one stronger than the previous one, erupted in the void, a large number of Clean Stones lost their luster and instantly shattered.


“Huh?”


Han Fei saw that as each layer of ripples overlapped, the speed at which the Clean Stones shattered became faster and faster. Ten thousand Clean Stones couldn’t even withstand a single ripple.


Besides, when the second wave of ripples stacked up, ten thousand Clean Stones were not enough to resist it at all. Seeing that the barrier of the Clean Stone was almost broken, Han Fei added millions of Clean Stones with a flip of his hand, forming a super barrier in the tide wave.


A massive amount of Clean Stones, plus Han Fei’s Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique, finally suppressed this Ultimate Dark Yin Snake in the Sky Opening realm. Millions of Clean Stones were almost exhausted. After Han Fei used five Heaven Enlightenment Divine Techniques in a row, this Ultimate Dark Yin Snake was finally purified.


After killing this Ultimate Dark Yin Snake, Han Fei was shocked. A million Clean Stones and a few Heaven Enlightenment Divine Techniques were actually not much at all. Mountain City could easily resist hundreds of thousands or even millions of ominous creatures. With the same consumption, how great an achievement would it be to kill an ominous creature in the Sky Opening realm? This was much easier than killing a normal Sky Opening realm powerhouse.


So as long as he had enough Clean Stones, he could kill many ominous creatures in the Sky Opening realm alone like this Ultimate Dark Yin Snake.


The death of the Ultimate Dark Yin Snake didn’t cause any astronomical phenomenon. There was no telling if it was because of the tide waves, so the astronomical phenomenon couldn’t be shown.


However, the energy crystals Han Fei got were not ordinary. They contained 180,000 wisps of Chaotic Qi, more than 100,000 ownerless souls, more than 30,000 wisps of Fiendish Qi, and ten million levels of spiritual energy.


If such an energy crystal was given to ordinary people, they could use it until he became a Venerable or even a king. This was the horror of a Sky Opening Realm energy crystal.


When Xue Fei and Han Fei returned to Mountain City, the first layer of the city-protecting array had been riddled with holes and was shattered.


When the ominous creatures and the tide wave almost reached the city wall, the guard captains roared, “Open the second layer of the city protection array.”


It was the same as the first layer of the city protection array. Just like just now, they trapped a group of ominous creatures and then began to kill them freely.


Compared to the first-level city-protecting array that only lasted for four hours, the second-level city-protecting array lasted for a full sixteen hours, and the number of Clean Stones burnt was also an astronomical figure. A thousand kilometers outside the city was covered with energy crystals.


The third-level array was the main city array. Unlike the first two arrays, the main city array was invested with the most stones, but it still applied the same trapping trick as the first two arrays.


This battle lasted for two days and two hours before the tide wave slowly disappeared.


During this period, Han Fei attacked six times and killed six ominous creatures in the Sky Opening Realm.


However, after the tide wave, the battle didn’t end. Although the tide wave disappeared for some reason, there were still a few ominous auras left and some ominous creatures fighting tens of thousands of miles away or further.


This was a time of free hunting for the entire city. People were free to hunt ominous creatures. Anyway, no matter how they hunted, the number of resources they needed to hand over wouldn’t change.


During this period, the layer of energy crystals on the ground were left behind by the ominous creatures purified by the city-protecting array when it resisted the tide. Ordinary people couldn’t collect them.


…


In the Lord’s Mansion.


Han Fei said, “This is the tide wave of the Chaotic Wasteland erupting once every hundred years. When it comes, the ominous creatures would attack the city. The tide wave this time is over, so it’s time for you to leave.”


Han Fei said solemnly, “The Chaotic Wasteland is only a part of the East Sea Divine Realm, and the East Sea Divine Realm is only a part of the Sea Realm. To put it bluntly, in the Sea Realm, the Sea Establishers are as many as the ominous creatures in the tide wave. In the Sea Realm, the Sea Establishment is just the beginning. It’s up to you how you walk your way. But you have an advantage, because you have lived for a long time and have a deep heritage, which is not something ordinary Sea Establishers in the Sea Realm can compare to…”


Hong Yue said, “I’m willing to follow you, Master Human Emperor. I, Hong Yue, don’t want to leave you.”


Han Fei rolled his eyes at him. “Don’t cause trouble. The Chaotic Wasteland may be suitable for a small number of people, but it’s definitely not suitable for most people.”


Then, Han Fei said, “Those who want to leave, enter Senior Tai Yuan’s Origin Sea later. As long as you leave the Chaotic Wasteland, you will be free.”


At this moment, Tai Yuan also said leisurely, “There are very few people here who can adapt to the Chaotic Wasteland. Besides, the City of Scavengers has been suppressing the human race. If you stay here, not only will you have no chance to make a name for yourself, but you will also be in a very difficult situation every day. Han Fei is right. You have to consider it carefully.”


The Snow Lady said, “I’ll go with Senior Tai Yuan. In the Sea Realm, our strength can only be said to be ordinary. We have to be careful, become stronger, and revive the human race. That’s our goal.”


Liuli: “I agree. I’ll go with Senior Tai Yuan too.”


Lei Qing said, “This is not a place for the human race to stay for long. We shouldn’t delay the Human Emperor’s plan here. We have to leave.”


Huang Jie said, “Heh, it would be a great loss if we don’t go out to experience such a wonderful world.”


Zhang Xuanyu said, “We…”


Han Fei said, “You have to leave too. The City of Scavengers is not suitable for human kings to stay. I stay because I have a solution. If you stay, you will hinder me.”


Le Renkuang said, “It’s time for us to seek a stronger path.”


Luo Xiaobai said, “That’s right. Sea Establishment is just the beginning. We have to embark on our own path anyway.”


For a moment, everyone expressed their opinions. This was exactly what Han Fei wanted. If they didn’t leave, they would be in his way.


In the end, Han Fei said, “In this world of countless races, you and I are all human beings, so we should strive for the rise of the human race in this world. I don’t care what means you have or use, you are human beings, which is your root. If this root is destroyed and you and I die, there will be no human beings in this world. Therefore, take care on this trip…”





Chapter 2139: Tax Reduction

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
After the tide wave.


billions of kilometers away from Mountain City, Han Fei bid farewell to the Sword God and the others again.


Han Fei gave each of them ten million crystals and said, “Seniors, I don’t know when we will meet again. However, I believe that as long as we don’t die, we will always have a chance to rise. Whether it is the human race, the giant beast race, or the undersea human race, they will all rise in the Seal Realm.”


The Sword God said, “You have to accumulate strength in the Chaotic Wasteland, not become enemies with the Ten Thousand Scale Clan. Anyway, you need to wait until you become stronger before considering these things.”


Han Fei nodded. “Of course. Although I’m confident in my strength, I’m not strong enough to challenge a Monarch.”


Tai Yuan said, “Although you’re on the path of corpse puppets, you can’t focus on this path. Corpse puppets are far inferior to your other Great Daos. You have to be careful.”


Han Fei cupped his hands. “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Tai Yuan.”


Wang Yijian said, “If we meet again, let’s have a fight.”


Han Fei smiled. “Definitely!”


…


Luo Xiaobai, Zhang Xuanyu, and Le Renkuang bid farewell to Han Fei in person.


Luo Xiaobai said, “I don’t know if we can meet again. If there’s a chance, I’ll leave some clues with the Thug as the symbol. If there’s a chance in the future, we can meet again.”


Zhang Xuanyu’s eyes lit up. “This is a good idea. I’ll do the same. Feifei! If you really can’t beat the Monarchs in the Chaotic Wasteland, you can leave the Chaotic Wasteland temporarily and seek some opportunities. This should be the most suitable for you.”


Le Renkuang said, “Then pay attention. Wherever there is delicious food, there may be clues about me. Also, we will definitely meet again.”


Han Fei smiled. “Of course. By the way, I have something for you.”


With that, Han Fei gave each of them a jade slip and a Star Shell and said, “My three attacks are sealed in here. There are also some energy crystals, only a million of them. It’s unnecessary to give you too many. Otherwise, it may affect your growth.”


Luo Xiaobai and the other two nodded. That was indeed the case. The more help Han Fei gave them now, the more unfavorable it would be for their growth. However, this jade slip was only used to protect their lives, which was very good.


Luo Xiaobai said, “We won’t use it unless we have to.”


Han Fei said, “We must part now. Senior Tai Yuan and the others are waiting. The Chaotic Wasteland is not a place to stay for long. After the tide wave, the City of Scavengers and the small cities under their jurisdiction will definitely attack and hunt ominous creatures. Therefore, you have to leave quickly while the major cities are collecting resources… I have to go back too.”


Zhang Xuanyu took a deep breath and patted Han Fei on the shoulder. “See you next time. Guess if I can catch up with you.”


Han Fei smiled. “I guess you can’t.”


“Hmph~”


…


After Han Fei said goodbye to Zhang Xuanyu and the others, the Sword God and the others quickly left.


They were all in the Sky Opening realm and were very decisive. They were not lovers, so they were not that reluctant to part.


One day later, in Mountain City.


In the Lord’s Mansion, Han Fei was reading the statistics.


In Mountain City’s battle against the tide wave this time, the total losses were about 750 million Clean Stones. If the Clean Stones collected by the people in the city at usual times were added, the total number might reach about 900 million.


However, what Han Fei actually spent was only 600 million Clean Stones. He should collect 240 million energy crystals. However, not all the money was his. In it, at least 100 million energy crystals would flow to the City of Scavengers. Among them, the amount of tribute was about 100 million. This was based on the ranking of the cities. Xue Fei’s Mountain City was ranked 80th, and the amount of tribute was more than 80 million. If he spent more in the City of Scavengers, it would be equivalent to losing 100 million.


Compared to previous years, the benefit this time was that Han Fei didn’t have to reward the Ten Thousand Scale Clan powerhouses. As for the other Sea Establishers, because they were mainly outsiders, Han Fei would only reward them with more than ten thousand energy crystals.


Outsiders were here to take refuge in the first place. Mountain City had protected them, so giving them some resources as compensation for defending the city was already very generous. At least, that was what the Ten Thousand Scale Clan had always thought.


And this time, after excluding all the factors, Han Fei had collected about 236 million energy crystals in total. After giving some to the Sword God and the others, there were less than 190 million left.


And the combat power loss in Mountain City was not much. 40,292 Venerables died, 85,698 explorers died, and a total of 125,990 people died. Less than half of the total population of Mountain City died.


In a hundred years, with the accumulation of a large number of cultivation resources, the lost population would be quickly replenished.


In this tide wave, the average number of energy crystals obtained by the people participating in the battle was 198 pieces. Deducting the portion that was handed over, it meant that each person obtained 78 energy crystals on average. This number was very good.


In the Lord’s Mansion, Han Fei was not in a hurry to use these resources.


At this moment, all the people were immersed in the joy of harvest. Suddenly, Xue Fei’s voice sounded throughout Mountain City. “Everyone, listen up. In the next three hundred years, the tax on the sea area of Mountain City will be reduced from 50% to 30%. In these three hundred years, I will choose some Heavenly Talents with potential to enter the city from the sea area of Mountain City… Therefore, in these three hundred years, you have to work harder.”


“Hiss ~”


“What? A full 20% tax deduction?”


“A tax of 30% for three hundred years? The lord is so bold. In order to select some elites, he actually sacrificed so much?”


Someone was shocked and couldn’t help but feel excited. “It’s been tens of thousands of years! This is the first time. Who remembers the last tax deduction?”


Someone exclaimed, “That was more than ten thousand years ago. It seems to be to select talents.”


Many people secretly guessed, “Could it be that something big is going to happen in the City of Scavengers, so there is this tax deduction?”


And this was exactly what Han Fei wanted. The reason why he wanted to reduce the tax was really not to choose any talents, but he could use this as a reason.


This was because every hundred years, the cities under the rule of the City of Scavengers needed to send some talented powerhouses to the City of Scavengers. Mountain City didn’t send many elites over every year. However, this time, Han Fei had his own plan.


Of course, the plan was only one of Han Fei’s purposes. He couldn’t control the ten thousand domains in the Scavenger Sea Area now, so he could only ease some pressure from the humans in Mountain City.


While Han Fei was deducting taxes, there were still some people in the city who were not very excited. Instead, they looked puzzled.


“Nothing big is going to happen recently! Why the tax reduction?”


Someone narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, This is big news. I have to report it to the higher-ups.


When Han Fei announced the tax reduction, he already knew that the news would quickly spread throughout the Scavenger Sea Area. This was because such a low tax rate was rare. Only a few cities had done this.


When Xue Fei went to the City of Scavengers to report, he would definitely be questioned. At that time, it would be the time for his plan to be launched.


…


A few days passed.


Little Sea Village.


When Han Fei’s puppet came to report, Zhao Jing was dumbfounded.


“What? The tax has been reduced to 30%? Master Tax Envoy, is this true?”


“How can it be fake? The Lord is going to select some Heavenly Talents. For the next three hundred years, your village should work hard!”


“Yes, uh… Yes, thank you, my lord.”


Zhao Jing felt as if she were in a dream. Her intuition told her that something was wrong. Was the lord still alive? If he was alive, how could he not know that the tax envoys had died? Not only did he not send anyone down to investigate, but he had also reduced so many taxes.


But in any case, this was a big event, a great joy.


Just as Zhao Jing was about to tell the good news to the entire village, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears. “Come and see me.”


“Who is it?”


Zhao Jing’s face changed drastically. When she scanned around with her perception, she found that a person she could never forget had appeared in her house. This person was none other than Han Fei.


A moment later.


Zhao Jing asked, “Master Emperor, you haven’t left yet?”


Han Fei asked, “What do you think of the 30% tax rate?”


Zhao Jing couldn’t help taking a breath. “Did you… do this, my lord?”


Han Fei didn’t deny or admit. He just said, “Only you know what I’m going to say. Do you dare to listen?”


Gulp!


Zhao Jing couldn’t help swallowing and said firmly, “Please go on, my lord.”


Han Fei said, “Mountain City is already in my hands, but this is far from enough. I can decide the tax in the sea area of Mountain City, but I can’t affect the tax rate in other cities. Now, I need an identity, an identity of a Heavenly Talent, and the origin of this identity is in your Little Sea Village…”


Zhao Jing didn’t quite understand. She just asked blankly, “Little Sea Village?”


Han Fei said, “Find me an identity, an identity that the entire village can accept. Only you know this…”





Chapter 2140: Cramming Growth

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei left a projection in the Little Sea Village. This projection had the strength of the Sea Establishment Realm, but it showed that it was only at the peak of the Venerable realm.


Han Fei chose to replace a peak-level Venerable who had died in hunting in recent years. Han Fei turned into this person and used this person’s name, Ye Fengliu (Fengliu means playboy), to live in the Little Sea Village.


The only thing that Han Fei was not satisfied with was his name. What f*cking conditions do you have? How can you be a playboy in this world that you can’t even survive?!


Unfortunately, for the sake of his plan, Han Fei could only reluctantly use it.


On this day.


Outside the Little Sea Village, Han Fei’s projection came to the entrance of the village.


Zhou Hai, the captain of the guards, exclaimed, “Ye Fengliu? Am I seeing things? Where the f*ck were you these years?”


“What? Little Ye is still alive?”


“Fengliu? You’re still alive?”


However, because Han Fei didn’t have Ye Fengliu’s memories, he looked cold and slightly vigilant at this moment. Anyway, it wasn’t the first time Han Fei acted.


Seeing a large group of people rushing over, Han Fei drew his saber and shouted, “Don’t come over.”


“Huh? Brother Ye, what’s wrong?”


“Fengliu, what are you doing? Are you infected by the ominous aura?”


Hearing this, many people became vigilant. Yes, after Ye Fengliu’s team left, none of them came back. Obviously, they had an accident. Why did he come back alone now?


Han Fei pretended to be nervous. “I’m only familiar with this place. I don’t know how I got here. Can anyone tell me who I am?”


Immediately, everyone gasped.


Zhou Hai was surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “You lost your memory?”


Someone was surprised. “It seems that something happened to Brother Ye’s team.”


Someone said, “More importantly, where did Fengliu come from?”


Someone asked, “Where did you come from?”


Han Fei said, “I came from an icy mountain 30 million kilometers away. Do you know me?”


Buzz!


At this moment, Zhao Jing appeared.


“Leader, it’s Ye Fengliu. He’s not dead, but he clearly lost his memory.”


“Leader, is Fengliu affected by the ominous aura?”


Zhao Jing pretended to look at Han Fei up and down. After a moment of silence, she said, “If he was contaminated by the ominous aura, as a Venerable, he would have gone crazy.”


Zhao Jing asked, “Did you experience the tide wave a few days ago? You should have an impression of the tide wave, right? It’s the black fog and a large number of undead creatures attacking.”


Han Fei shook his head blankly. “No.”


“Huh!”


While Zhou Hai and the others were surprised, Zhao Jing said firmly, “He must have accidentally entered a primitive graveyard somewhere.”


Primitive graveyard? Everyone was surprised. How did Ye Fengliu find the entrance to a primitive graveyard?


Zhao Jing asked again, “Are there powerful creatures in the place you came from?”


Han Fei shook his head. “No, they’re all ordinary creatures, but I swallowed a drop of strange essence blood there…”


Zhao Jing asked, “What?”


Han Fei pretended to be at a loss and reached out to take off his battle suit, only to see that his body was covered with dense scales.


“Hiss! Ten Thousand Scale Clan?”


Zhou Hai and the others’ expressions changed drastically, and some of them even revealed hostility in their eyes. However, Zhao Jing shouted, “Shut up, all of you. This kind of scale looks a bit like a flood dragon’s scale…”


Zhao Jing couldn’t help but suddenly attack and grab Han Fei. Han Fei quickly retreated and could still fight back.


Bang!


Han Fei was knocked back a hundred kilometers by the blow, and his eyes were full of anger. “Why did you attack me?”


Zhao Jing said, “Just trying.”


Zhou Hai and the others asked, “Leader, what’s going on?”


Zhao Jing said, “I’m not sure, but he must have swallowed some kind of treasure, which caused his strength to soar. Look, his strength has reached the Half-King realm. If he can block my blow so easily in the Half-King realm… I’m definitely not his match if he becomes a king.”


“Hiss…”


The people from the Little Sea Village all exclaimed. Even the village leader was no match for him?


Zhao Jing deliberately asked, “Are you about to reach the Sea Establishment realm, but you can’t find your memories, which hinders your path to the Sea Establishment?”


Han Fei nodded. “Yes.”


Zhou Hai and the others were in a trance when they saw Han Fei and Zhao Jing acting. They were easily deceived by these two people.


Sure enough, Zhou Hai and the others were all tricked. They all thought that Ye Fengliu was about to transcend the tribulation, but because he lost his memories, he had to find the way back to Little Sea Village and search for his memories.


Wasn’t this equivalent to picking up a Sea Establishment King for free?


Instantly, Zhou Hai and the people who were familiar with Ye Fengliu surrounded him. They couldn’t let go of such a future Sea Establisher!


They thought that although Ye Fengliu had mutated, he was still a human. As a human, he was one of them. Everyone was very accepting of him.


After all, they could even accept outsiders. Why couldn’t Ye Fengliu, who was a mutated human, be accepted?


The moment Han Fei successfully entered the Little Sea Village, Han Fei’s original body left quietly.


Now this matter was almost over. Next, Han Fei would leave time to himself. In the past few days, he had obtained too many resources. Except for giving a lot of resources to Tai Yuan and the Sword God, he didn’t leave much for Luo Xiaobai and the others.


But in fact, Han Fei had already given them a lot. It was completely enough for them to expand their Origin Seas by at least 30,000 kilometers. If he really gave them a large number of resources, how could they cherish the resources? Besides, it would be unfavorable for them to gain experience and explore for resources.


Mountain City.


Han Fei established an underground barrier under the Lord’s Mansion.


He was going to cultivate here for three years, because three years later, according to tradition, it would be Xue Fei’s turn to return to the City of Scavengers to report.


The lords of the cities under the City of Scavengers would go to the City of Scavengers to report their duties every hundred years. At other times, they were free, so there were actually many people fighting for the position of lord.


Fortunately, although Xue Fei was in the lower-middle level, he was relatively close to the middle level. Even if the lord was replaced, it was mainly the lords of the lowest rankings. Especially the lords after the hundredth place, the possibility of them being replaced was extremely high. It was very difficult for them to be lords for ten thousand years.


His Origin Sea.


Han Fei looked at the massive number of energy crystals. He had no time to care about them now, because the previous batch of 40 million energy crystals hadn’t been digested yet. Even the Chaotic Qi hadn’t been completely transformed into Immortal Qi, let alone the ownerless souls.


Therefore, Han Fei used the Immortal Qi to expand his Origin Sea and transform the Chaotic Qi into Immortal Qi. Anyway, he had so much Chaotic Qi that he almost couldn’t use it.


Then he was shocked.


Han Fei expanded the Origin Sea every day for ten years, and there were still as many as 420,000 wisps of Immortal Qi in the Origin Sea. The Immortal Qi transformed from the 200 million wisps of Chaotic Qi had been consumed by 1.7 million wisps, which only expanded his Origin Sea by 50,000 kilometers. Yes, Han Fei’s Origin Sea was only 180,000 kilometers long, less than 190,000 kilometers.


Han Fei couldn’t help being shocked. He really admired people like Bei Luochen, Shi Pohuang, and He Daoyuan. In the past hundred thousand years, they probably didn’t do anything but cut open the endless void every day to absorb the Chaotic Qi, right? Otherwise, how could they have expanded the Origin Sea to two hundred thousand kilometers?


Han Fei estimated that the remaining Immortal Qi shouldn’t be enough to expand the Origin Sea to 200,000 kilometers, so he simply gave up. Therefore, he finally remembered the massive number of ownerless souls in the Origin Sea.


In fact, Han Fei felt that he had acted too early. He shouldn’t have touched Xue Fei’s 40 million energy crystals. They were all saved by Xue Fei, so their quality was extremely good. Most of them were energy crystals in the Venerable realm.


In fact, the composition of the energy crystals he collected was mainly calculated according to the overall strength of Mountain City. If there were many Venerables in the city, then there would be more Venerable-level energy crystals. If there were more Explorers, then there would be more Explorer-level energy crystals.


Obviously, there were fewer Venerables in Mountain City.


Of course, Han Fei didn’t mind having more low-level energy crystals.


Even a low-level energy crystal could have one or two wisps of Chaotic Qi or seven or eight points of ownerless souls.


One or two of them might not be a big deal, but what if the number rose to ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or a million?


Han Fei didn’t even dare to use the energy crystal of the Sky Opening realm. Such a high-quality item was hard to come by in a hundred years, so he’d better keep the good stuff.


Han Fei felt that he wouldn’t be able to use the remaining 180 million energy crystals in the short term.


This was because Han Fei felt that he might not be able to absorb so many ownerless souls at all. Even if each of the forty million energy crystals only had ten points of ownerless souls, there would be as many as four hundred million points. Besides, this high-quality energy crystal contained even more ownerless souls.


But what about him? His soul power only had more than 2 million points. Compared to the ownerless souls that easily numbered in the hundreds of millions, there was clearly a huge gap.


Unfortunately, it had only been five years since the last Void Temple gathering, and it was still early for the next gathering. It didn’t seem right for him to ask the senior brothers and sisters of the Void Temple for help too frequently.


Therefore, Han Fei could only flip through Xue Fei’s memories again. Of course, Han Fei could ask Old Yuan, but Old Yuan was not much better than Xue Fei, and he often slept. In this aspect, his understanding might not be better than Xue Fei’s.


Reading Xue Fei’s memories, Han Fei was immediately puzzled.


A moment later.


“Huh? Isn’t it said that once one’s Dao Heart is strong enough, his soul power will be infinitely strong? Why can’t I absorb the ownerless souls after reaching a certain level?”
