Chapter 630

The continuous loss of the mineral veins was completely out of Zi Chen's expectations. Moreover, it was even more difficult to launch such a battle than when he was fighting against Inner Core experts.

Waves of Flight Army were not to be underestimated.

Now, Zi Chen finally felt the pressure. It was the pressure of fighting against all the forces in the Land of Chaos alone.

In desperation, Zi Chen could only send Tyrant and the rest to fight. At the same time, he also sent Devil Ape and Longhu out. He also told Longhu that he could detonate his Inner Core if necessary.

This was also a helpless move because there were too many Flight Army. Once they formed a large-scale joint attack, even Inner Core experts could be killed.

Moreover, there were too many of them. They attacked several places in succession. This forced Wang Qiong to split up more teams.

It had to be said that with the participation of Tyrant and the rest, the situation of Zi Chen's side finally stabilized.

Tyrant and the rest were powerful enough to fight against a group of people. They also had early-stage Inner Core experts who could detonate themselves at any time. This made up for the lack of numbers.

However, it was not a good deal to detonate one Inner Core expert to kill a group of Flight Army.

It was just that if he wanted to establish the sixth overlord force under the eyes of all the other forces, how could he convince them without going through a few battles?

The first time he expanded his force, he directly expanded to a range of millions of miles. Before this, it was not obvious. However, once the battle started, there were problems. They occupied too many places. Coupled with the fact that they did not have enough Flight Army members, Zi Chen's advantage quickly turned into a disadvantage.

Apart from the place where Tyrant and the rest were guarding to ensure that the resources would not be lost, some of the original mineral veins were also attacked and looted by the other forces.

Although these resources were not that rare, they were still real resources.

"Our foundation is not stable. We recruited too few Flight Army members and occupied too much territory. This time, we are facing so many enemies at the beginning of the battle. Naturally, we are no match for them. Now, we can only choose to retreat." Wang Qiong smiled bitterly.

Zi Chen was more or less angry. So many forces had sent out Flight Army members to fight at the same time. It was obvious that the overlord force was behind this. Their goal was to make him suffer so that things would not go so smoothly.

"Pull back our forces and then fight steadily and surely. I don't believe that they have an endless number of Zephyr subordinates." Zi Chen had no choice but to make this decision.

Although the battle was still going on and Zi Chen's side was constantly retreating, the number of casualties was naturally higher than the other major forces. Moreover, the number of casualties was as high as one to two, one to three, or even more.

However, the enemy had the advantage in numbers and were not afraid of death. On the other hand, Zi Chen's side was not. Therefore, even though Zi Chen's side was outnumbered, Zi Chen's side had no choice but to retreat. This was the first time in Zi Chen's history with the Fringe that Zi Chen had willingly admitted defeat.

After abandoning all the resource veins, the cultivators retreated two hundred thousand li back to defend an area of eight hundred thousand li. Two hundred thousand li away, there was a larger vein that was still in Zi Chen's hands. The one guarding it was Tyrant.

That vein was discovered by the Spirit Devouring Rats. The resources inside were very valuable. Naturally, they could not just hand it over to others. Thus, Tyrant led a group of cultivators to guard that vein. With him, they had the equivalent of a large number of Core energy cultivators. Therefore, after failing to capture that vein several times, they had no choice but to give up.

After giving up, they moved on to other veins.

"As expected of one of the major forces of the Fringe. After so many years, they have actually accumulated so many Flight Army members. It seems that they have reached the point of being overcrowded. They are purely looking for us to wear us down." Wang Qiong smiled bitterly.

According to the map, their forces had retreated by another five hundred thousand li.

During this time, they had lost several more veins. However, they were all small veins. Their harvest was far from being proportional to the number of Flight Army members who had died.

"Retreat another five hundred thousand li." Zi Chen was expressionless. He only signaled for everyone to retreat.

As long as the veins discovered by the Spirit Devouring Rats were not occupied, Zi Chen's losses would not be so great. As for the original veins, many of them had been mined for decades. It was not a big deal to lose them.

After retreating for four hundred thousand kilometers, another large mineral vein was exposed in front of everyone, and the one guarding this mineral vein was also Longhu, who had been transferred to this mineral vein before the retreat.

Longhu could even kill a mid-stage Core Realm cultivator. Furthermore, he could control the souls of twenty Core Realm cultivators. Naturally, he could make this largest vein impregnable.

Therefore, after the major forces suffered heavy losses here, they moved on to the next location.

Naturally, the places they attacked were still the many veins.

The retreat continued. This time, they had retreated another five hundred thousand li. The third vein that was exposed was guarded by the Devil Ape.

As a descendant of the Sky Splitting Battle Ape, the Devil Ape's battle strength was naturally incomparably strong. Adding on its defense and extreme speed, it could attack an entire team by itself.

As for Zhang Haotian, Wang Qiong, and the others, they also led the others to guard an area of five hundred thousand li. This would be Zi Chen's last line.

Both sides would engage in a life-and-death battle here.

Zi Chen stood in the air, looking at the black dots that appeared in the sky like a group of ants. Behind him stood hundreds of Flight Warriors, but there was not a single Core Realm cultivator.

Zhang Haotian, Wang Qiong, and the others were on other battlefields. Zi Chen was the only one here.

The black dots in front of him approached like ants. All of them transformed into human figures. The leaders were all Core Realm cultivators, and behind them was a group of Flight Warriors.

As for the number of people, there were at least five thousand.

Dozens of Core Realm cultivators and more than five thousand Flight Warriors. Zi Chen's side only had a few hundred Flight Warriors. How were they going to fight this battle?

The Core Realm cultivators behind him all had nervous expressions on their faces.

"Stay where you are and don't move. Kill whoever comes." Zi Chen's voice rang out in the consciousness of every Flight Warrior.

His calm voice seemed to have some kind of strange magical power. After the group of people in the air heard it, their nervous mood also eased a lot. They held the Spirit Weapons in their hands tightly. Although they were still nervous, they were not afraid.

The figures in the sky approached, and then rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

However, in the next moment, amidst the shocked cries of the Flight Warriors, Zi Chen turned into a golden light and rushed toward the army in front of him.

He was charging toward an army with the power of one person.

Just when everyone thought that the leader had gone crazy, Zi Chen had already entered the attack range of the army.

"Kill."

"You're courting death."

Roars rang out in the sky. Then, everyone unleashed powerful attacks. For a moment, the light of many Spirit Weapons flashed, and powerful auras surged.

Boom.

An explosion sounded in the sky. The void was pierced by countless Spirit Weapons, and holes appeared one after another.

Thousands of Spirit Weapons appeared in the sky. They whistled like raindrops, flashing with various colors. They carried energy attacks of various strengths as they enveloped Zi Chen.

Once so many attacks landed and hit his body, even Zi Chen with his Perfect Body would die without a doubt.

Silver light began to flash on his back as the Heavenly Lightning Wings appeared. Just as the overwhelming attacks arrived, the lightning wings on his back flapped and transformed into a two-colored light, instantly disappearing from the spot.

Boom.

The place where Zi Chen was previously was drowned by a lot of energy. A huge black hole spread in the void as destructive energy aura constantly rippled.

This attack clearly didn't hit the other party. Just as everyone was wondering where Zi Chen had escaped to, they heard screams.

These screams came from the front. As they looked over, they discovered a two-colored light flashing around a group of Primal Core cultivators.

The screams came from the Primal Core cultivators. Every time the two-colored light flashed, a Primal Core cultivator would scream. After the two-colored light left, the Primal Core cultivator's body fell from the sky uncontrollably.

Falling meant death.

Against these early-stage Primal Core cultivators, Zi Chen could easily slaughter them.

As the screams continued, these Primal Core cultivators were afraid and planned to escape. However, just as this thought appeared in their minds, their consciousness dissipated the next moment before they could escape.

"Bang." "Bang." "Bang."

The sound of corpses falling could be heard continuously. Screams also sounded one after another. Almost every second, two to three Primal Core cultivators died.

After a few seconds, the Primal Core cultivators were no longer in front of the group of cultivators.

Such an extremely fast method of eliminating the enemy left the group of cultivators dumbfounded. However, immediately after, the two-colored light flashed again and disappeared.

Then, a series of screams sounded from the army of cultivators.

The two-colored light was naturally formed by Zi Chen. However, after he displayed his extreme speed, the group of cultivators could not see his appearance at all. They could only see the two-colored light flashing.

Wherever the light passed, there would be flashes of cold light. Heads flew up one after another, and corpses fell to the ground one after another. Like hailstones falling to the ground, the sound of bodies falling to the ground continued to ring out.

Forming a team of cultivators in the air was already very lethal. However, this kind of lethality required a group attack. When Zi Chen got close, the large number of cultivators in the air was no longer of much use.

Even after they reacted, they repeatedly launched more attacks. However, Zi Chen had extreme speed and could dodge at will. Therefore, under this kind of indiscriminate attack, the ones who died the most were their own people.

Under the almost petrified gazes of the hundreds of Primal Core cultivators behind them, Zi Chen killed the entire army of cultivators in the air with just his own strength.

Under this crazy slaughter, they panicked, panicked, and then fled in all directions. They no longer had the slightest bit of combat power.

When they fled, because they were panicking and did not know where to go, some of the cultivators in the air also ran to where the hundreds of cultivators in the air were.

Therefore, the hundreds of cultivators followed Zi Chen's instructions and began to attack those who were close to them.

In this battle, the major forces were completely defeated.

In other places, the same scene was playing out. All the cultivators on Zi Chen's side were mobilized and successfully defended the resource vein within a radius of five hundred thousand miles.

All the forces were defeated and fled.

Just as the major forces were defeated, five late-stage Primal Core cultivators appeared in the peripheral area. There were also four cultivators in the air. They did not pay attention to the defeated forces and flew straight to where Zi Chen was.
