Chapter 1013

The captains were extremely dissatisfied with Chen Yu's arrogance, but none of them refuted him.

In a one-on-one battle, they truly did not have the confidence to defeat Chen Yu.

"This kid probably hasn't met the Head Commander yet, or he would definitely regret saying such a thing."

Commander Liu, who had handed over the mission to Chen Yu, snorted inwardly.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of other experts or races, the plundering of the Soul Burying Lake was set for three days later.

Precisely because of this, the four races did not have the time to gather manpower. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to form an elite team to deal with the unique environment of the Soul Burying Lake.

In this period of time, the four races and their leaders would stand guard around the Soul Burying Lake, forbidding anyone from entering.

On this day.

Thunder boomed in the distance. A silver bolt of lightning flew over, breaking through the black mist in the air and turning into a middle-aged man in silver armor.

The other party's face was chiseled, and his eyes were like two balls of lightning, shocking the soul and causing others to not dare to look directly at him.

"Head Commander."

The other human captains looked at this person with respect.

Chen Yu also looked over. He had heard that the Head Commander had been carrying out missions in the number one forbidden ground of the Disordered Ocean Plains.

The other party's aura was clearly at the peak of the middle stage of the Star Condensation Realm, and he even grasped the Intent of Lightning. In a place like the Disordered Ocean Plains where evil gathered, he should be a person of calamity.

"Head Commander, you might not know, but these days, the Soul Burying Lake …"

Commander Liu went forward and followed beside the Head Commander, introducing the recent events of the Soul Burying Lake.

"That person over there is called Chen Yu, the new captain."

Commander Liu suddenly introduced Chen Yu.

The Head Commander glanced at Chen Yu. Noticing that Chen Yu's cultivation was at the peak of the early stage of the Star Condensation Realm, his expression changed slightly, but he did not speak.

However, what did Commander Liu say next?

The Head Commander looked at Chen Yu again, his gaze cold and disdainful. Lightning flashed in the air as he pointed at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was unmoved.

At the root of it all, Nie Hua was the one who caused the many commanders to dislike him.

However, Chen Yu's backer was a Mysterious Nether Realm Thearch Lord, who was also his biological father.

Three days later.

The experts of the four races gathered around the Soul Burial Lake.

The Human Race had five spots in the Soul Burial Lake, while the Flame Humans and Earth Spirits had seven spots in total. The Mermaid Race had the least spots, with only four.

Chen Yu had heard that the human race, the Earth Spirit Race, and the Flame Men Race had joined hands to suppress the Mermaid Race.

After all, the Merfolk had a great advantage in an environment like the Soul Burying Lake.

"Even if we only have four spots, our spoils of war will definitely crush them."

A cold voice rang out.

The one who spoke was a mermaid with an impressive figure. She was only wearing a chiffon, and her perfect curves were clearly visible. His lips were bright red and his gaze was cold.

Beside the chiffon mermaid, Chen Yu saw the Blue Water King.

The Blue Water King's eyes flashed with intense hatred when he met Chen Yu's gaze.

"Blue Water King, who is this Chen Yu you speak of?"

An old mermaid with black scales on the leftmost side asked in a hoarse voice.

He was surrounded by a black mist that gave off a cold aura of death. The others looked at the old mermaid with a hint of respect.

"Senior Lai, this is the person who stole our race's information and leaked it. Otherwise, more than half of the treasures in the Soul Burial Lake would have been ours!"

The Blue Water King looked at Chen Yu.

If the other three races didn't receive any important information, the Mermaid Race could make preparations in secret and raid the Soul Burial Lake.

By the time the other three races reacted, it would be too late. At most, they would receive some leftovers.

"His life in the Soul Burial Lake is mine."

The old mermaid, Senior Lai, said calmly as if he was talking about something insignificant.

The Earth Spirit Race and the Flame Men Race had seven spots in total. The Flame Men Race had only sent three people, while the Earth Spirit Race had sent four people and a peak middle stage Star Condensation Realm King.

"Everyone, let's begin."

The leader of the mermaids wearing a crown said calmly.

"Let's begin in case something happens."

"Begin."

Nie Hua and the leader of the Earth Spirit Race spoke.

Before this, those who entered the Soul Burial Lake to search for treasures would openly check their interspatial bags to prevent them from hiding their gains.

Chen Yu already had a countermeasure for this. He hid all the valuable items in the mysterious crystal dimension. Otherwise, if he took out all his wealth, it wouldn't be for the treasures in the Soul Burial Lake, but for himself.

Whoosh …

More than a dozen figures instantly flew out from three directions and entered the Soul Burial Lake.

The evil spirits and ghosts roaming above the Soul Burial Lake were immediately attracted and charged over.

However, the four races had sent out elite Kings with extraordinary strength. The one with the lowest cultivation was Chen Yu, who was at the peak early stage of the Star Condensation Realm.

After a few moves, the ghostly figures on the surface of the Soul Burial Lake disappeared without a trace.

Pfff …

Everyone entered the lake. The lake water was dark blue, and their five senses were blocked. Their Soul Sense was also affected, and their perception range was halved.

The Mermaid Race was stronger than the other three races in this aspect.

The four races didn't fight. Their goal this time was to search for treasures. There was no need to fight unless it was for treasures.

Chen Yu was in the Great Commander's team. When the five of them moved together, all enemies they encountered were instantly killed.

The five dived down.

The deeper they went, the greater the opportunities.

Even if they could only obtain some fragments of Intent Crystals, this trip would be worth it.

If they could obtain a few complete Intent Crystals, it would be a profit.

No one knew what was hidden at the bottom of the Soul Burial Lake. There might be even more precious treasures.

Chi! Chi!

Chi! A spatial crack suddenly appeared in the distance. The nearby evil spirits were torn apart, and the lake water was swallowed.

"We've only gone two thousand meters, and the space here already shows signs of becoming unstable!"

The commander frowned slightly.

There was usually a reason for spatial cracks to appear when space became unstable.

As they dived down, they occasionally saw some weapons, precious materials, and fragments of Intent Crystals. Their harvest was not bad.

The frequency of spatial cracks increased. Fortunately, the space around them was relatively stable, and they didn't encounter the threat of spatial cracks. This made them feel strange.

Rumble!

The blue lake water surged violently, and a black shadow in armor suddenly attacked. Its body emitted a black aura that dyed the surroundings pitch-black.

The armored shadow wielded a large saber, and black ripples swept across the water surface, attacking the group.

This Ghost King had appeared before, and it instantly killed several Mermaids.

"Watch out!"

A commander said.

"Just a ghost. Scram!"

The Great Commander roared and opened his palm. Lightning burst forth and a dense net of lightning destroyed the black ripples and bombarded the Armored Ghost King's body.

The Ghost King's body crackled, and it was charred. It roared angrily and attacked even more violently.

"Thunderstorm!"

The commander shouted again, and five bolts of silver lightning shot out from his palm, piercing the armored Ghost King.

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded, and the five bolts of lightning that pierced the armored Ghost King exploded, tearing its body into pieces.

"Commander, your strength has improved."

Commander Liu said with a smile.

"The Burying Soul Lake is huge. Although it's safest for the five of us to go together, the efficiency of searching for treasures will be the lowest."

After the commander killed the armored Ghost King, he said, "Therefore, I suggest that we split up to search for treasures. Currently, the strongest Ghost King in the Burying Soul Lake is equivalent to the Star Condensation Middle Stage. If our luck isn't bad, there won't be any life-threatening danger."

"I agree, but it'll be bad if we encounter the foreign races. For safety's sake, it's better to form a team of two."

Another commander said.

The commander nodded, and the team was formed instantly.

The commander and Commander Liu formed a team, and the other two commanders formed another team.

"Commander Chen thinks that he's stronger than the other seven commanders. I believe that you should be fine alone."

The commander said coldly.

Commander Liu sneered, and the other two commanders acted as if it had nothing to do with them.

"Alright."

Chen Yu agreed immediately, which was out of the four's expectations.

He didn't say anything else and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The four were stunned. They didn't expect Chen Yu to be so decisive. He didn't think much, and it seemed like he couldn't wait to leave the team.

"Arrogant, ignorant."

The commander said coldly. In his opinion, Chen Yu was arrogant and ignorant, thinking that he would be fine alone.

After saying that, the commander and Commander Liu left.

Suddenly.

Chi!

A spatial crack appeared nearby, tearing open a huge hole that extended towards the two of them.

The two of them had goosebumps, and they immediately retreated, narrowly avoiding it.

"Although there were spatial cracks before, they appeared slower, and the cracks were smaller. I didn't feel such a sense of danger."

Commander Liu felt that something was strange.

The other team also encountered the same situation.

Only Chen Yu descended safely, unaffected by the spatial crack.

"That's true, the spatial crack doesn't dare to approach me?"

Chen Yu laughed in his heart.

He had a similar guess before, but he didn't have the chance to prove it.

Just now, he agreed to act alone because he wanted to verify his guess. Therefore, he left quickly and decisively.

Apart from that, acting alone was indeed more efficient.

Chen Yu continued experimenting.

Where he was, the space was relatively stable. Even if he actively approached some small spatial cracks, the cracks would heal on their own.

But when he approached some large spatial cracks, the effect would be reduced.

In fact, some Almighties who had a deep understanding of space profound could also do the same.

But Chen Yu didn't use space profound. Before he comprehended space profound, he had also encountered such a situation.

He blamed these unexplainable things on the mysterious heart.

"The mysterious heart seems to be closely related to space."

Chen Yu thought.

For example, the birth of the internal crystal space, the sudden comprehension of space profound, and the shocking improvement speed, as well as the strange phenomenon of space stabilizing.

But now was not the time to think about this. He needed to reap the benefits first.

Moreover, Chen Yu didn't need to worry too much about the threat of the spatial cracks in the Soul Burying Lake.

A silver ripple spread out from his body, instantly spreading in all directions.

In such an environment, apart from the Water Ultimacy, the Space Ultimacy was probably the most practical.

Chen Yu, who had space profound, quickly sensed several pure and concentrated spatial fluctuations.

"A fragment of Profound Crystal with space attribute."

Chen Yu identified them.

With a happy expression, he immediately took action, killing many Ghostfiend Ghost Kings and harvesting eight profound crystal fragments.

At this moment.

Chen Yu sensed a concentrated spatial fluctuation in a certain direction. It was extremely strong and didn't seem to be emitted by a spatial crystal fragment.

"A complete space profound crystal."

Chen Yu guessed.
