Chapter 312: One Against Seven

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

After coming out of the heavenly world, Li Yunmu's strength was different in every sense of the word. Regardless of whether it was his ability to utilize world power or the newly grasped flame thunder tribulation—both of them were more formidable than the ordinary flux energy from before.

The only unfortunate thing was that he had accumulated a very low amount of this higher level energy which was produced after the sungod flame energy fused with a portion of the tribulation thunder and transformed.

This very low amount was barely sufficient for him to congeal and compress a single arrow. As for hoping that it could be used conveniently like the ordinary flux energy from before, it could only happen when he advanced to Flux Master realm.

He wanted to substitute deadly might with flame thunder tribulation and transform all of the seventy-two flux points into ones that could accumulate it. Only this way would he be able to gain enough flame thunder energy for normal use.

Currently, Li Yunmu's group of three occupied the right most cave which belonged to the ninth head. The rest of the caves were divided among the eighteen descenders.

At this moment, the rivers of Jing and Wei had separated clearly. 1

After the past several days, Central Continent's faction which was the largest and most powerful one had scattered. Zhan Wuya, Ji Wuxin, and Luo Tian stayed together, while Li Yunmu and his two followers formed another faction.

As for Xie Qianxue, it was unknown what sort of method had Hai Yue and Ruyan Lanzhi used, but the two women had surprisingly pulled Xie Qianxue to their side and become

"close friends

".

As for the single person of Higher Dimensional Continent Lu Bu, he had formed a faction with Northern Continent's powerful clan's successor Zhongshan Anling and one of the disciples of the four Barbarian Kings, Tyrant Jiang.

As for the those of the Desolate Continent, Man Tian, Coiling Tiger as well as Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang, these three remained together from beginning to end, forming the most united faction whose strength couldn't be neglected.

The only faction which had remained unchanged was the faction of independent fluxers. Xiye Hanbei, Fan Kong as well as Zhao Mei stayed together the whole time.

As for Men Shen who had come together with Hai Yue from the Ocean Temple, his fate was comparatively tragic. A few nights ago, when everyone raided the Nine Dragon Cave, he died in battle.

Back then, before the sneak attack, none of them thought that someone from their side my die in battle. The descenders were thus taught another lesson about the formidable constitutions of native people.

Men Shen had fallen under the hands of the main leader, Black Dragon, who proved Ruyan Lanzhi's worries.

Although Black Dragon wasn't a flux expert and didn't possess flux energy, but relying on his strength of nine oxen, he had cultivated two cultivation methods related to physical strength.

One was Nine Oxen Punch and another was Iron Body Refining Method.

Within the fluxer community of Earth, these two body-refining techniques could be considered as a C grade at most. In other words, they were nothing worth attention.

However, when these two body-refining cultivation methods fell into the hands of a native of the origin world who had the power of nine oxen, they revealed a formidable might which was actually threatening to the descenders.

They were two low grade body-refining cultivation methods, one for attack and one for defense!

Relying on his terrifying physical might, Black Dragon pulled down Men Shen with him even after being sieged by Men Shen, Li Yunmu, Xiye Hanbei, Man Tian, Zhan Wuya, Coiling Tiger, and Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang.

There was nothing to say about it. Among the seven of them, Men Shen had the lowest number of life-saving treasures, and so he was the one who died.

That battle allowed everyone to experience that if an ordinary native who had trained his fleshly body to the peak could get any skills to complement their strength, it was extremely terrifying.

The power of nine oxen wasn't that frightening in itself; after all, it only amounted to four and a half ton. However, if a person who already possessed a few tons of power also grasped some higher level skills to boost his strength, he could burst forth with explosive strength for a period of time, which would be absolutely frightening.

Without cultivating any skills, the person could only produce the power of ten tons in each punch. However, when the head of Nine Dragon Cave used Nine Oxen Punch, he could produce the power of several tens of tons with each punch.

His kick had the power of nearly a hundred tons.

With everyone's strength, they weren't afraid of ten tons of punching and kicking power, but when confronting the offensive power of several tens of tons or even a hundred tons, they wouldn't be able to endure it.

From this, the level of danger everyone faced while confronting the Nine Dragon Cave's leader could be clearly seen.

If any of them ate the enemy's punch, they could easily get heavily injured and lose their combat strength. Then what to speak of if they ate a kick?

In front of such terrifying offense, probably only Xie Qianxue who possessed a three sun heavenly world and Li Yunmu who possessed absolute defense could barely stand against this offense among the group of eighteen descenders. Others, including Xiye Hanbei and Man Tian, would could only avoid the enemy's attacks.

Thus, during the raid on Nine Dragon Cave a few days ago, the opponent who was only an ordinary person had broken several body-protecting jade seals of Zhan Wuya and others by relying on his physical strength alone.

If everyone hadn't possessed so many life-saving treasure, then maybe Men Shen wouldn't have been the only person to die.

At that time, Li Yunmu again experienced the meaning of absolute power. Even a few tons of brute force could become a terrifying force if honed to the limit.

After the battle, the eighteen descenders gained a new understanding of the origin world. Even though it was only the tip of the iceberg, everyone's hearts went through a couple transformations due to the experiences of the past couple days and the battle that ensued to take the cave.

Among these changes, the greatest one was the one in factions.

Zhan Wuya, Ji Wuxin, Luo Tian.

Li Yunmu, Li Qinghong, Demon.

Ruyan Lanzhi, Xie Qianxue, Hai Yue.

Zhongshan Anling, Lu Bu, Tyrant Jiang.

Man Tian, Coiling Tiger, Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang.

Xiye Hanbei, Fan Kong, Zhao Mei.

The eighteen descenders who had walked together so far broke their old alliances and formed new ones at this moment. Each person's position became more clear, and the transformation in groups this time could be considered as the descenders breaking away from their original continent's intentions. They formed these groups in order to pursue their individual goals.

These sort of alliances also implied that the benefits to their continents hadn't brought these descenders a unanimous vision; after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. 2

The influence of Earth's quasi deities and ruling powers became increasingly more feeble as they explored their surroundings. After arriving in the origin world, individual ambitions arose within the hearts of all descenders.

Today was everyone's third day at the Nine Dragon Cave, which meant that it was Li Yunmu's squad's turn to do their job.

Thus, Li Yunmu led his two followers and stepped out of his heavenly world, having built a cart behind closed doors. At the precise time he needed to, he arrived at the transfer channel.

The news leaked by the bandits wasn't wrong. There was indeed a transfer channel at the Nine Dragon Cave, but it had been unused for several years.

Reportedly, when Black Dragon discovered this cave dwelling, the transfer channel had already existed here. However, these crude people didn't have any flux energy so they were unable to use it.

Because of this, after it was occupied by the descenders, the first thing they needed to do was to restore this transfer channel which had remained abandoned for many years.

In truth, restoring it was quite simple. The only needed an enormous amount of active energy to activate it once more. Thus, everyone took turns to charge it
