460 Visitor from the Roc Clan

After the youngster and the lightning dog left, in the next few days, the young men and women from the surrounding villages who had received guidance from Chen Yiming arrived one after another.

These young men and women were all aiming for the same thing. They wanted to become members of the guards, joining teams that went out of the villages. This was equivalent to reaching adulthood early.

If it was just one or two of them who thought that way, it might be a coincidence. However, since there were so many of them, there had to be a deeper reason.

The most direct reason was that there might be trouble in the south mountain range, and it might be huge trouble. As a result, it affected the village-level factions.

“Could it be that an all-out war is about to break out between the factions of the Infinite Island Group and the source ore shops?”

Chen Yiming analyzed the situation carefully.

From the moment the four teams from the source ore shops were forced to escape to the floating canyon, to the moment Heaven Suppressing City was destroyed, both factions could be said to have suffered losses. It was hard to say who won or lost.

Logically speaking, the fuse had already been lit, and an all-out war would soon break out between the two sides. However, perhaps because they were not fully prepared, or perhaps because the destruction of Heaven Suppressing City had disrupted their plan, in short, in the large cities in the south mountain range, other than those controlled by the factions behind the source ore shops, after some small-scale conflicts broke out in the other large cities, countless source ore shops retreated to safety.

“From the looks of it, after the momentum of the person with twin pupils was put to a stop, the Infinite Island Group did not manage to completely control their factions. This is the reason why a full-scale war has not broken out between the two sides.”

In the world of martial arts, when it came to large-scale wars between many large factions, one still had to pay attention to the overall situation. Only when the situation was within their control could they cause a commotion.

Otherwise, after weighing the pros and cons, none of the factions would be willing to take the lead. Naturally, they would not be able to make a move, causing the fuse to not be completely lit.

The outcome of the battle between Chen Yiming and the person with twin pupils had indirectly dealt a heavy blow to the alliance of many factions in the Infinite Island Group, which had made use of the fake source ores from the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop to attack the factions behind the source ore shops.

…

By the river, there was a person and a house.

Peace had returned. Without the distraction of the group of young men and women, Chen Yiming became even more focused.

He often sat cross-legged on a large rock by the river. His eyes were tightly shut, and his mind was prevented from wandering. He was fully focused on studying the divine power, and he allowed the wind and leaves to blow against his body. He was like an old monk, and did not move at all.

When it came to the cultivation of divine powers, half a year could only be considered the beginning stage. No matter how talented he was, Chen Yiming was still a newbie.

In addition, he had to rely on himself and had no one to guide him. There were many things that he needed to verify and adapt for himself. It was no longer like when he first stepped onto the path of martial arts, where he could see through everything at a glance.

In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. The outside world seemed to have started to become restless, and people who did not belong to the village were wandering around the area.

Suddenly, Gao Shuai came looking for him one day.

“The south mountain range is about to fall into chaos.”

“Got it,” Chen Yiming replied calmly, as if he wasn’t interested at all.

Recently, he had been studying the divine powers. The feeling of improving bit by bit was very intoxicating, and he had completely forgotten the passage of time.

Of course, this was also because he had sufficient talent to be immersed in it. Otherwise, it would be like reading a book. If one was unable to enter the treasure mountain for a long time, it would become a form of torture.

“Brother, aren’t you interested?”

Gao Shuai had a surprised expression on his face as he continued, “If an all-out war breaks out between these two factions, the situation of clans being wiped out will definitely happen one after another.”

“At that time, the space teleportation portal you want to find will definitely not be a problem. We brothers will work together to obtain the loot.”

It had been nearly a year since the incident at the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop. Not only had the conflict between the two sides not been resolved, but they were also secretly preparing for war.

As long as one visited a little more places, they could feel the oppressive atmosphere that a storm was brewing. As long as one was not stupid, they would know that the south mountain range was about to fall into chaos.

“Of course I’m interested, but what’s the hurry? Have you forgotten that the Roc clan, Heaven Suppressing City, and many other enemies from Flying Cloud Planet are on their way here?” Chen Yiming reminded him.

When Gao Shuai heard this, his brows relaxed again.

He had not planned to appear immediately when things got chaotic. Otherwise, after nearly a year, there would have been enough time for his enemies to set up an ambush for him.

However, as long as there was really chaos, most of the arrangements would be in vain. That would be the time to take advantage of the situation and cause even more trouble.

Soon, the two of them chatted for a while more before Gao Shuai finally left.

…

From now on, Chen Yiming would continue to cultivate his divine powers seriously. Every bit of increase in his strength would become a bargaining chip in future battles.

At the same time, he had mastered various divine powers. He could even use two divine powers at the same time to unleash a stronger combat strength.

Chen Yiming was sitting cross-legged on a large rock by the river and listening to the sound of the waves hitting the riverbank. He was comprehending an unnamed divine power when he suddenly heard the sound of singing and instruments being played around him.

“The speed at which the faith from the knights can be converted into Skill Points has increased again.”

From this speed, it could be deduced that the path of cultivation to become knights had gradually become mainstream on the living planet where he and Gao Shuai had temporarily stayed on the way to the abandoned world.

However, it was only a living planet that barely had a god presiding over it. The Skill Points obtained from converting their faith were far from being comparable to the source ores.

Perhaps when Chen Yiming’s reputation spread throughout the Hidden Dragon Galaxy and he started to lead the humans from the blue planet to conquer one living planet after another, the speed at which their faith could be converted into Skill Points would be much faster.

Soon, Chen Yiming focused on the unnamed divine power again.

This was a divine power that was recorded on a piece of green bamboo. The piece of green bamboo was the size of a piece of paper, and it was extremely firm and green. It did not seem to have any traces of wear and tear over time.

Unfortunately, it was not complete.

“This physical combat divine power is very powerful.” Chen Yiming’s attention was completely focused on the piece of green bamboo. It was as if an alternate space had opened up there.

This allowed him to verify it directly inside and study it step by step. All the commotion caused inside would not be transmitted to the outside world.

Thinking back, he had a premonition when he was choosing the loot. Therefore, he had chosen to take the piece of green bamboo. Chen Yiming still remembered Gao Shuai’s regretful expression.

Now that he started to cultivate the divine power recorded on the green bamboo, he understood that it involved too many natural laws, which were grand and profound.

The more he cultivated it, the happier he became. This divine power was completely created for physical combat. It was simply tailor-made for people like him who had a strong body and physical talent.

He vaguely understood the scene of the world being torn apart and joined together in the darkness. This was the ultimate manifestation of strength. The world was as fragile as paper in front of him.

“If I use this divine power to fight the city ruler, can I kill him even though he is at a higher level?”

The further one went on the path of cultivation, the greater the difference between two consecutive realms. At this time, the difference in talent was even more obvious.

For example, those who were considered geniuses in the star condensation realm. After breaking through to the jade star realm, some people would not have enough potential, causing them to fall out of the team of geniuses.

The more Chen Yiming thought about it, the more shocked he became. This physical combat divine power had increased his combat strength even more than all the other divine powers he had cultivated in the past year combined.

It was unknown if the city ruler was regretting it so much that his heart was bleeding. On second thought, this divine power placed too many demands on one’s physical talent.

Other people, including the ruler of Heaven Suppressing City, might not even meet the conditions for cultivating it even if they were at the star evolution realm.

After knowing more about this divine power, Chen Yiming became even more focused. He immersed himself in studying it again and again, and time passed quickly.

…

A few more days passed.

Chen Yiming had not changed his residence all this time. A few months ago, that group of young men and women had joined the guards and left the village, causing the hidden danger to finally appear.

The Roc clan came knocking on his door.

The people from the Roc clan had arrived. The leader of the group was an old man with sharp eyes. His pupils were like small suns, and wherever he looked, it was as if a golden beam of light shot out, and he was able to see through all the illusions in the world.

What was even more terrifying was that his powerful aura formed a golden path. Every move he made caused the natural laws to shake. He was a god at the jade star realm from the Roc clan.

Furthermore, he was not half-crippled like those whose divine worlds were in the lower three grades, but a god who had a divine world in the middle three grades.

“I heard that a villager in the wilderness has mastered the God Slaying Technique and ambushed and injured a young member of the Roc clan. Could it be that you were behind this?” a young man beside the old man said.

As soon as he spoke, he took the moral high ground and pinned the blame on the other party. This way, the Roc clan would have a reason to take revenge on him.

Chen Yiming’s back was facing everyone as he woke up from his intense cultivation. He was a little surprised that the Roc clan had come looking for him first.

The Roc clan had a notorious reputation in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. If there was really an incident of a young member from the clan being injured during his training, it would not be surprising if they came looking for him.

However, with such a large group, it seemed that even though a long time had passed, the Roc clan had invested a lot of resources into the south mountain range because of the death of the genius from the clan.

It was obvious that this group had been constantly searching for Chen Yiming.

“Childish! So it’s just a few brats from the Roc clan. Since they can’t even defeat their peers from the village, it seems that you have nurtured some weaklings,”

Chen Yiming said calmly. He didn’t move at all, and had no intention of standing up or turning around.

As soon as he said this, not only did the faces of the young men from the Roc clan turn red, but the expression of the old man from the Roc clan also changed. He did not expect the other party to still be so arrogant with him holding the line.

Although what he said was true, even if a young member of the Roc clan was a few years younger, he should still not have lost to a young man from one of the villages.

This was a humiliation, a very serious humiliation. There was no way to find an explanation, and any explanation was just an excuse.

However, due to the reputation of the Roc clan, it was impossible for them to allow such a thing to spread freely. They would destroy all the sources.

Other than the young man who had won, there was another source: the person who had taught him the God Slaying Technique.

“Is there anything else? If not, get lost.”

Chen Yiming changed the topic. His tone was unquestionable, and he treated the old man from the Roc clan as if he was invisible.

“Interesting. How arrogant. I didn’t expect that after living for so many years, this would be the first time I’ve faced such a situation. I remember that the last young man who spoke arrogantly in front of me has already grown to a height of three feet,” the old man from the Roc clan sneered.

Faced with this provocation, the old man from the Roc clan gave an example to refute him. How terrifying was he? He was a god at the jade star realm from the Roc clan, an overlord faction.

In the abandoned world, other than the powerful elders at the star evolution realm, almost no one could suppress him. It could be said that he was among those who had the highest combat strength.

Therefore, how could he be frightened by the other party’s arrogant words?

That’s right. The old man from the Roc clan thought that the person in front of him, who had his back facing them the entire time, was just bluffing, and in reality, he was secretly extremely anxious.

However, with the speed of the Roc clan, they looked down on most of the other species. Trying to escape? Dream on.

“Jin Yun, deal with him. I’ll hold the line for you.”

Without waiting for Chen Yiming to continue, the old man instructed a young man beside him.

The few young people from the Roc clan beside the old man were not weak. Although they could not reach the level of geniuses of the same generation, they were still gods at the star condensation realm.

This time, they had come looking for him to train themselves.

In the eyes of the old man from the Roc clan, he did not think that their opponent was a match for him. At most, he would be at the star condensation realm, which was suitable for the young people of the Roc clan to fight against.

“Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

Jin Yun thanked him and focused his gaze on Chen Yiming again.

At the same time, a golden light shot into the clouds. Golden feathers turned into golden spikes, and a golden sword appeared in his hand.

Jin Yun, the young man from the Roc clan, had no intention of coming to demand an explanation. Instead, he was determined to kill the other party. However, the other party did not move at all. It was very strange.

In the next moment,

the young man from the Roc clan, Jin Yun, made a move. Being forced to make the first move, he did not even consider whether it was a trap. In any case, with the old man from the Roc clan at the jade star realm holding the line, there was nothing for him to worry about.

His figure flashed, and his body turned into a golden light that charged out. At this moment, there seemed to be a time lag. A golden divine arrow shot out with an astonishing speed.

“Jin Yun is not bad. Compared to the geniuses cultivating in the secret places, he’s not inferior,” the old man from the Roc clan commented.

The Roc clan was a species that specialized in speed. Almost all their techniques followed the principle that their speed was the only thing that could not be overcome. Therefore, as long as their speed was high enough, they would be called a genius in the clan.

“How scheming!”

The other young men from the Roc clan instantly understood that Jin Yun had hidden his talent quite well. He had actually only displayed the speed talent of a genius of the Roc clan at such a critical moment.

It would be a lie to say that they were not jealous. There would never be enough resources to split among them. Therefore, there was intense competition among those of the same generation. If he performed well, the treatment he would receive when he returned might immediately be different.

As time passed, a qualitative difference in strength appeared between the young men from the Roc clan due to the difference in the resources they received.

In the blink of an eye, just as the golden arrow that Jin Yun had transformed into was about to hit the person with his back facing them, the old man from the Roc clan frowned.

Not dodging?

Was he so confident that he did not need to dodge? Or was it a trick?

However, no matter how they thought about it or what they suspected, it was too late to pull back.

Furthermore, he would not do that. With the old man from the Roc clan at the jade star realm holding the line, there would not be any problems.

Next, something unacceptable happened.

The old man from the Roc clan and the young people beside him watched helplessly as the golden arrow broke bit by bit from the moment it touched the back of their opponent.
