Chapter 1503

The group entered the mountain range and walked for about ten miles without encountering any danger.

Zi Chen walked at the front, followed by the four titled cultivators, followed by Man Shi and the rest. As for the three guides, they walked at the outermost circle.

Zi Chen suddenly waved his hand, and the whole group stopped.

In front of them, there were many thick ancient trees with intertwined roots.

"There's a problem." Looking at the ancient trees in front, the fortune-teller asked.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "It's a kind of strange creature. Kill them."

As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, Jin Qingcheng stepped forward and walked past Zi Chen. She stopped dozens of meters away from the thick ancient trees.

Anyone could cut down the ancient trees, but the most suitable person was Jin Qingcheng.

As an Earth Realm cultivator, everyone had their own powerful laws. Zi Chen had them, the Dao of Heaven had them, the fortune-teller had them, and so did Jin Qingcheng.

Under such circumstances, the power of the five elements was the most powerful.

Jin Qingcheng's metal laws completely suppressed the wood laws of the ancient trees.

Golden light surged on Jin Qingcheng's jade-like hand. A sharp golden sword qi shot toward the ancient trees in front.

The golden sword qi flashed, and the ancient trees were cut in half.

A sharp and ear-piercing sound came from the ancient tree that had been cut down. The intertwined roots began to tremble as if they were alive. They broke out of the ground like spiritual snakes or javelins, shooting towards Jin Qingcheng.

The tree roots cut through the sky with a sharp whistling sound. They contained powerful energy.

Jin Qingcheng shouted. Golden light flashed in her eyes as golden energy surged around her body. She waved her hand and sprinkled it forward. It was as though she was sprinkling flower petals. A golden light sprinkled out and landed on the javelins. Specks of golden light merged with the tree roots, causing them to explode.

The power of metal invaded and broke the laws. In the blink of an eye, the ancient trees lost their vitality and became withered trees.

If they were caught off guard and launched a sneak attack, these ancient trees would cause them a lot of trouble. However, with the mountain as a lookout, everything nearby would be transmitted to Zi Chen's Knowledge Sea. Zi Chen could see all kinds of dangers in this place with a single glance. These dangers were no longer a threat to them.

After dealing with the ancient trees in front of them, the group continued forward. Not far away, there was a towering mountain peak. On the mountain peak, there was a mountain spirit overlooking the entire area and transmitting information.

After passing through the ancient forest, the group came across a lake. The lake was several hundred zhang wide, and there were many ancient trees around it. There were also some strange peaks, and on top of these strange peaks, there were also ancient trees.

"Fill up this lake and destroy the nearby mountains with plants. During this time, be careful of those plants."

Zi Chen stopped in front of the lake and issued an order.

A tall and sturdy human walked out. He wore an earthen yellow battle armor, and a thick aura of the earth surged around him.

The matter of filling up the lake was something that this cultivator could do.

At the same time, a few other human figures with flame auras surging around them also flew towards the surrounding strange peaks.

Knowing the danger in advance, Zi Chen could make some effective arrangements.

As a result, the group of people on the way seemed to be very relaxed.

With the help of the mountain spirit king and Zi Chen's arrangements, the group smoothly passed through the originally dangerous mountain range without any surprises or dangers.

All of this was seen by the outside world, and it made them happy.

After traveling for so long, only two people had died. This could be considered to have broken the previous record.

"It seems that this time, Zi Chen's group has a very high chance of completing the mission."

After more than ten days, the group successfully passed through the mountain range.

Outside the mountain range, there were some other mountains. After Zi Chen appeared, these mountains transmitted the latest news to Zi Chen as quickly as possible.

Most of the news was unimportant. For example, a beast passed by below, or a bird just flew by. However, Zi Chen found a useful piece of information among these unimportant news.

There was a mountain peak where the traces of a battle spirit of a foreign race had just been discovered.

Not just one, but a group of about twenty battle spirits.

"There's a discovery. Let's go take a look."

At Zi Chen's signal, the group of 655 people flew towards the mountain peak where the message was sent.

At this moment, a group of battle spirits was resting at the foot of a mountain. As battle spirits, they were like humans and had a desire for good food. At this moment, these people were roasting meat.

On the mountain peaks beside them, there were mountain spirits. But for some reason, the mountain spirits never attacked these battle spirits. Thus, the battle spirits didn't know what was going on. Their every action and action was seen by this deathly silent mountain peak.

Zi Chen and the others soon discovered the traces of the battle spirits and flew over.

Hearing the sound of breaking air from afar, the battle spirits all had strange expressions on their faces. They raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

Figures appeared on the horizon, their bodies surging with a different aura.

The faces of the foreign race battle spirits changed dramatically. Disbelief filled their faces as they exclaimed, "Humans, it's humans."

This was the Nether Realm. Humans could not enter this place at all. Suddenly seeing a group of humans descend, the foreign race battle spirits were shocked.

The group of 655 people approached in an instant and surrounded the group of 77 foreign race battle spirits.

Zi Chen's spiritual thoughts swept past them and found that these people's realms were not high. Most of them were at Level 8, the early stage of the Domain Realm. Two of them were at Level 9, equivalent to the middle stage of the Domain Realm, and one was at Level 0, equivalent to the late stage of the Domain Realm.

Being surrounded, the battle spirits were not afraid. They just could not believe the fact that humans had appeared.

"Answer a few of my questions and I can spare your lives," Zi Chen looked down at the battle spirits and said indifferently.

"In your dreams."

The Level 0 battle spirit looked coldly at Zi Chen and said, "Human, I don't know how you got here, but I want to tell you that once you're here, it will be your death."

The Level 0 battle spirit looked coldly at Zi Chen, his eyes surging with killing intent.

The other foreign race battle spirits were also surging with killing intent. They were not afraid of Zi Chen's group at all.

"Kill, leave the three weakest ones."

Zi Chen waved his hand, and his indifferent voice sounded.

In the sky, light flashed. Some human cultivators rushed toward the foreign race battle spirits, and some high-level life forms attacked.

The difference in realms between the two sides was too great. The strongest of the foreign race battle spirits was far lower than the weakest of Zi Chen's group. Therefore, the result of this battle was not suspenseful.

This was Zi Chen's first battle in the Nether Realm, and it ended with a complete victory.

The remaining three foreign race battle spirits were covered in wounds and stared at Zi Chen with resentment.

"Don't think you can get any useful information from me," one of the foreign race battle spirits said coldly.

If his power had not been sealed, this battle spirit would have committed suicide long ago.

Torture was useless. They were not even afraid of death, so why would they be afraid of torture?

After glancing at the three of them, Zi Chen dismissed the idea of extorting a confession. He turned around and asked the crowd, "Who knows the Soul Searching Technique?"

Almost everyone knew how to search one's soul. However, Zi Chen's question was, of course, referring to the person who knew how to search one's soul.

Ordinary Soul Searching Techniques were not enough to search the souls of foreign race battle spirits. Everyone shook their heads.

"Let me try." A person walked out of the crowd. It was Dark Mantle in black armor.

Dark Mantle came forward and said, "My Soul Searching Technique is a little special. I want to try it."

Those who knew the history of Darkness City curled their lips when they heard this.

The magical arts of Darkness City were all very mysterious. It was not just a little special. Dark Mantle was obviously being too modest.

However, just think about it. Who would not be modest in front of Zi Chen now?

As they moved forward, the crowd had already accepted Zi Chen as their leader. They admired Zi Chen from the bottom of their hearts.

Zi Chen's battle strength was indisputable. In terms of calmness, no one could compare to him. Even the titled experts had to admire him.

Dark Mantle modestly said that he only knew some special Soul Searching Techniques. However, when it came to the real Soul Searching Technique, he also left with the other three.

In less than a moment, mournful cries sounded in the distance.

The mournful cries were filled with fear. It was clear how terrifying the Dark Mantle's methods were to make people who were not afraid of death utter such cries and feel such deep fear.

Zi Chen saw what Dark Mantle was doing through the mountain spirit.

He saw black light curling around Dark Mantle. Some of the black lights were like silk threads, entering the foreign race battle spirit's sea of consciousness.

Following the disappearance of the black threads, the foreign race battle spirit's vitality also disappeared.

How was this Soul Searching Technique? It was clearly Soul Stealing!

Two of the three died. Dark Mantle brought the third person back and threw him on the ground.

This battle spirit also had a face full of resentment. However, there was an obvious trace of fear on his face.

Dark Mantle looked at Zi Chen and nodded. Then, he returned to Zi Chen's side and stopped.

Zi Chen glanced at the battle spirit and said, "Kill him."

Dark Mantle did not bring this person back for Zi Chen to interrogate, but to kill him.

This was because every battle spirit that died had Luck Points. These Luck Points were ten times more than what they had in the Domain Prefecture.

Each of them had at least a few hundred thousand luck points and at most a few million luck points.

This could be seen from the envious expressions on the Dark Mantle's faces when they returned.

Zi Chen did not take action to kill off the war spirit. Instead, a human cultivator stepped forward to kill off the war spirit. After that, he happily collected the luck points. It was a very high number.

"Tell me, what did you find?" Zi Chen asked as he led the team forward, ignoring the dead battle spirit.

"This is a world of its own called the Starry Sky Realm. The people here call themselves the Starry Sky Clan. All of them are battle spirits. There is only one city called Starry Sky City. As for these people, they live in a village outside of Starry Sky City."

Zi Chen looked ahead and did not ask for more information. Instead, he asked, "How far is that village from here?"

"About ten thousand miles," Dark Mantle replied.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "Pass down the order. Move at full speed and destroy that village. Leave no one alive."

"Understood."

Dark Mantle nodded and sent out a spiritual thought. The spiritual thought contained a map that led directly to the first village called Sass.
