Chapter 427: Reversal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as everyone was worried about the wounded ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet, with a crack, the ground shook on the Flying Cloud Planet. It was as if a huge earthquake had occurred in Flying Cloud City, causing everyone to be shocked.
With a loud bang, a huge mountain sank in, and a deep hole appeared in the ground. Soon, more than one such holes appeared, and another 10 to 20 mountains met with the same fate. The scene was extremely shocking.
“What happened?”
Everyone was shocked.
A sudden change occurred in a certain area on the Flying Cloud Planet.
Cracks appeared on the ground one after another, and a terrifying aura gradually spread out.
It was a little scary that so many mountains had sunk deep into the ground. The main reason was that it had happened too suddenly. The battle in space had yet to end, but the people already thought that Flying Cloud City was about to be destroyed.
“What’s going on?”
The higher-ups of the Flying Cloud City were alarmed. They appeared everywhere on the city wall one after another. Each of them was at the level of the star condensation realm, and there were a total of eight of them.
When the ruler was not in the city and something happened on the Flying Cloud Planet, the higher-ups of the cabinet had to step forward to stabilize the situation. The truth was that there were very few problems that could not be resolved with such a huge force.
Chen Yiming turned to look at the deep cracks on the Flying Cloud Planet. He felt a threat coming from it. Something dangerous was about to come out.
He retracted his gaze and happened to see the calm expression on He Tianzheng’s face.
“So that’s what gives the ruler of Flying Cloud Planet the confidence to make a move?” Chen Yiming indeed felt that it was dangerous. It was similar to the time when three blue-skinned humans had descended from the stone platform.
“Crack…”
As time passed, more and more cracks appeared on the ground, as if a small portion of the Flying Cloud Planet had collapsed. The scene was extremely shocking.
Looking down from space, one could see the abnormal areas. Black cracks appeared one after another on the ground, interweaving like spiderwebs. Finally, all the rocks and soil completely shattered and fell to the ground.
A large abyss that emitted a terrifying aura appeared in front of everyone. However, the commotion was not over yet. Something dangerous was about to come out of it.
Gao Shuai leaped up, and a staircase seemed to appear in the air. At the same time, a disc-shaped spaceship rose into the air from the port and arrived beside Chen Yiming in a few seconds.
“Ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet, the injuries on your body are probably related to the plant life form below, right?” Gao Shuai put away his casual attitude and said with a serious tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, a vine soared into the sky from the abyss. It was like a black spear, and the aura it emitted made one subconsciously want to stay away.
He Tianzheng nodded and removed the bandage on his forehead. There was a bloody hole on it, and the wound could not heal due to some unknown interference.
In addition, not only was there his own blood flowing out of the wound, but there was also a drop of mutant blood that emitted a dazzling light. It flickered with many colors and emitted a dense aura, making it seem mysterious and powerful.
Chen Yiming narrowed his eyes and became serious.
He could tell that there was more to it than what meets the eye.
In essence, those at the level of the gods cultivated the inner world. The body was only an external manifestation of the inner world. In other words, the injuries on He Tianzheng’s body were only on the surface. The injuries on the inner world were the real problem.
Now, just by looking at the mutant blood, one could feel how special it was. Before coming into close contact with it, one would feel intimidated and could not help but tremble. They even wanted to submit to the mutant blood. It was unimaginably powerful and terrifying.
A single drop of blood was already so terrifying. It was difficult to estimate how powerful the creature it belonged to actually was.
He Tianzheng continued, “This demonic vine was what I obtained in the spatial distortion linked to the otherworld. I originally planned to use it only after the fight for the true dragon’s corpse started.”
“However, it doesn’t matter if it’s revealed in advance. Even if I continue to recuperate, my injuries won’t completely heal. I think this little brother has a very special physique, especially his vitality.”
“If you can provide some help with my injuries, the He clan will no longer pursue your actions on the Flying Cloud Planet. They can even mediate between you and the Jiang clan.”
“How about this? You just need to deal with the pursuit of the Roc clan. I don’t think the humans will investigate this matter too much.”
Hearing this, Chen Yiming understood.
The life force displayed by his physique was the real reason why He Tianzheng had appeared. It was not because of his negligence or because he wanted to stop him from continuing to attack Jiang Lan.
This planet’s ruler really had a good plan. He attributed the death of the Little Roc King to an accident, then saved Jiang Lan. Now, he wanted to trick him into treating his injuries.
He would probably not be able to treat all his injuries. In truth, he would squeeze out all the value from his body, and in the end, he would be able to give the Roc clan an explanation.
At this moment, Gao Shuai said bluntly, “The eight large human clans in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy don’t have a good relationship with each other. He Tianzheng definitely doesn’t have good intentions. It’s time for us to escape.”
With that, the cabin door of the disc-shaped spaceship that had risen to their side opened. The old butler and a few bull-headed guards were already inside.
Running away was what he had planned to begin with. Otherwise, how could Gao Shuai, who had a special prophecy ability, escape the attention of the public and participate in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse?
Chen Yiming swept his gaze across the area.
After Yin Jueying was defeated, some items were left floating in the air. Jiang Lan’s face returned to its cold expression, and He Tianzheng smiled.
It was indeed as Gao Shuai had said. If this dragged on, it would only increase the risk. The Roc clan was a race that specialized in speed, so their reaction might have exceeded ordinary expectations. After all, a young genius had died here.
Just as he decided to escape, a voice sounded in his spiritual world. It was from the treasure tree in the ring, and it also brought with it another deal from the female spirit.
The deal was that the treasure tree would use the power bestowed by the female spirit to deal with the demonic vine on the Flying Cloud Planet. Coupled with the destruction of the space-travel portal on the Flying Cloud Planet, it would prevent the Roc clan from chasing after Chen Yiming.
The remaining spoils of war from Yin Jueying, the items from the Flying Cloud Planet’s ruler, who was not in a good state, and even the items on the Flying Cloud Planet that were of interest to him belonged to Chen Yiming.
Chen Yiming didn’t hesitate and agreed to it.
After the female spirit left the blue planet, she still kept her existence a secret. In fact, she hid it even deeper because Chen Yiming could no longer let his spiritual will enter the space in the ring like before.
This way, Chen Yiming felt much more at ease. The relationship between the two sides seemed to be very stable for the time being.
He needed the female spirit to deal with powerful existences like the three blue-skinned humans. The female spirit needed to continue hiding and be brought around by him, a spatial ability user.
“Boom!”
Just as Chen Yiming and the treasure tree finalized the deal, the main body of the demonic vine on the Flying Cloud Planet finally crawled out of the abyss. As soon as it appeared, it caused a commotion in Flying Cloud City.
“Is that the demonic vine? It’s really too powerful.”
“With the help of the demonic vine, I’m afraid he can easily compare to or even defeat a true genius.”
“Of course. Otherwise, how would He Tianzheng have the guts to participate in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse with his strength at the jade star realm? Furthermore, his main body was severely injured.”
The black spear-like vines covered the sky. Its main body was extremely huge, as if it could support an entire planet.
As soon as it appeared, the sky on the Flying Cloud Planet darkened. A pair of bloodthirsty eyes opened, seeming to want to devour the creatures in Flying Cloud City.
This did not cause that much chaos in the city. The reason was that the demonic vine seemed to be under He Tianzheng’s control.
In addition, there was a fixed space-travel portal on the Flying Cloud Planet, and they could run away at any time if the situation was not right.
The moment the main body of the demonic vine appeared, Gao Shuai immediately felt as if he had been stabbed.
This was an automatic warning to his body from his special prophecy ability. An existence that he could not resist had already made a move. If he did not escape now, there was a high chance that something irreversible would happen.
The smile on He Tianzheng’s face became even more obvious.
It seemed that even if they delayed for a few seconds or 10 seconds, during the time they were hesitating, the chances of Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai escaping would decrease greatly.
At the very least, he would definitely be able to get what he wanted. For example, the large number of cells that were filled with vitality in Chen Yiming’s body, and even the vital organs in his body.
“Young man, have you thought it through?” He Tianzheng asked with a smile.
Chen Yiming chuckled. “I’ve thought it through. I just don’t know how many punches you can withstand in your current state. Will you be like that little roc from before and explode with just one punch?”
As soon as he said this, Gao Shuai was the one who became the most anxious and flustered.
Brother, you are confident that the Roc clan can’t do anything to you with your spatial ability. However, although my spaceship also has the ability to perform space-jumps, inanimate objects are not as agile as living people.
If they escaped too late and fell into the encirclement set up by the Roc clan, they would have many methods to interfere with space-jumps.
In Flying Cloud City.
Seeing that Chen Yiming had no intention of escaping, surprise filled the air.
“Could it be that this person thinks that he doesn’t need to care about the Roc clan just because he killed the Little Roc King with a sneak attack?”
“Spatial abilities are not omnipotent. The Roc clan is an overlord faction in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. In history, they have killed countless spatial ability users.”
“It seems that he has never seen the world. With his victory against two geniuses, he has completely lost his mind. Just look at Fat Man Gao’s anxious expression.”
No one in the city thought highly of Chen Yiming. At the level of the star condensation realm, he was like a firefly competing with the bright moon in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.
Even Qin Hongyue was the same. She could not understand why he had not decided to escape quickly.
After all, when the Roc clan descended in large numbers through the space-travel portal, Fat Man Gao’s prophecy ability would be nothing in the face of the absolute difference in strength.
However, Chen Yiming took the initiative to attack.
At this moment, countless jaws dropped in shock.
The moment the spatial fluctuation appeared, Chen Yiming’s figure faded away. In the next moment, he threw a punch at He Tianzheng’s face. At the same time, a stream of light descended from the sky, heading towards the demonic vine on the Flying Cloud Planet.
They did not know what the stream of light was for the time being, but this action clearly told everyone that he had never thought of escaping. Instead, he wanted to kill the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet.
“Although the spatial ability is powerful, it’s not like I can’t achieve the same effect using a secret spatial technique,” He Tianzheng said. After he finished speaking, his figure almost disappeared.
Thousands of kilometers away in space, a mirror that was taller than a person had appeared there at some point. He Tianzheng walked out of the mirror.
The smile on his face remained the same. The only thing out of place was the traces of blood on a few bandages. Clearly, his injuries were still affected.
In the next moment, he threw another punch.
With a loud bang, he and the mirror were shattered by Chen Yiming’s punch. The dark space shook violently, and a powerful force tore through the air, creating a huge crack in space.
However, the mirror was indeed shattered, and what was destroyed only an afterimage.
On the Flying Cloud Planet, the demonic vine raised its bloodthirsty gaze and waved the black spear vines that filled the sky. It seemed to have seen something even more delicious than the food in Flying Cloud City.
“It’s useless. Even if my body isn’t in good condition, in such a short time…”
Thousands of kilometers away, another mirror appeared. He Tianzheng explained as he walked out. However, before he could finish speaking, the afterimage of his body and the mirror were shattered by another punch.
Chen Yiming couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath. Every time He Tianzheng used the secret spatial technique, the injuries on his body would worsen.
Clearly, innate abilities and secret techniques were not the same. The price one had to pay was definitely different.
“Cough, cough!”
Soon, after walking out of the mirror three times in a row, He Tianzheng coughed violently.
It had to be known that it was unbelievable for a god at the jade star realm to cough. Unless he deliberately did it, his physical condition might be worse than expected.
That’s right.
In reality, He Tianzheng could no longer smile.
This did not follow the script he had set according to the situation at all. Logically speaking, with the arrival of the Roc clan, there would definitely not be such a complete reversal of the situation.
With his physical condition, using the secret spatial technique continuously was not a good choice. He could even be torn apart by the twisted power of the spatial distortion at any moment.
In space, beside the disc-shaped spaceship, “Young Master, the person you found must be crazy. We have to leave quickly,” the old butler said anxiously as he quickly tried to persuade Gao Shuai.
The bull-headed men in the spaceship were mercenaries who served as bodyguards.
However, at this moment, their legs were about to go weak, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.
Everyone knew how terrifying the Roc clan was. The bull-headed men in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy were often targeted by the rocs because they did not have a powerful king.
However, because the entire species was not strong enough, when a bull-headed man was attacked by a roc, they could only pretend that nothing had happened. There would always be areas where order could not reach.
When Gao Shuai heard this, he shook his head and refused.
He knew the reason, but he could not say it at this time. In reality, when the stream of light fell towards the demonic vine on the Flying Cloud Planet, the warning had disappeared.
This meant that after receiving the warning from the prophecy, due to the intervention of new powerful factors, the outcome had changed drastically.
It was also because of this that he should remain uninvolved and prevent the outcome from changing again due to his actions.
It had to be known that at this moment, more gazes were focused on him than on the demon vine or on the battlefield in outer space.
However, the old butler did not know the reason.
He thought that Gao Shuai thought too highly of Chen Yiming and was risking his life to gain more trust from the other party.
