The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 387 A Monster-like Race? (Long Chapter)

The surprise attack by Fang Zhen and his dozen or so men stunned the more than two hundred members from various factions in the camp.

The dragon crystal mine in the Abyss Cave is well-known throughout Wanlong Star. It is a dragon crystal mine occupied by the Empire in the public area of ​​Wanlong Star. Any other forces that come to Wanlong Star and have a good relationship with the Empire and want to obtain dragon crystals steadily will come to the Abyss Cave to mine.

According to the rules of the Imperial Kingdom's administrators, mining in the Abyss Cave yields one-twentieth of the profits, meaning that for every twenty dragon crystals mined, one dragon crystal will be yours.

Although the profit sharing is very low, it is stable on Wanlong Star. After all, the number of dragon crystals on Wanlong Star is very small. Not only is it very difficult to find them, but you also have to face the massive number of magical beasts on Wanlong Star. Often, you risk your life and work for half a year, but you still can't get many dragon crystals. In addition, you have to hand over a portion to the administrators, so there are very few left.

As for the mines that can stably produce large quantities of dragon crystals, they have all been occupied by various major forces. The places in the public area of ​​Wanlong Star with a small number of dragon crystal mines have also been jointly occupied by powerful half-step Fusion God Realm experts. The Abyss Cave is one of them.

The Imperial Kingdom's half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts on Wanlong Star are all exceptionally powerful. In fact, the Imperial Kingdom accounts for nearly one-third of the top 100 half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts on Wanlong Star. In the public areas of Wanlong Star, the Imperial Kingdom is one of the forces that should absolutely not be provoked.

The various factions were truly shocked that someone would dare to target the Imperial Dragon Crystal Mine in a public area; it was no exaggeration to say they were courting death.

Killing is not prohibited on Wanlong Star.

Let alone actively approaching the dragon crystal mines occupied by the experts of the Empire, even when they encounter experts from the Empire normally, the half-step Fusion God Realm experts from various forces are extremely respectful, fearing that they will be troubled by the experts of the Empire. Now they actually plan to seize the dragon crystal mines occupied by the experts of the Empire. Even those experts on Wanlong Star who can squeeze into the top 100 do not dare to be so arrogant.

As Fang Zhen and his group moved, the twenty-odd young men and women from the Imperial Kingdom who had been cultivating with their eyes closed in the camp opened their eyes and looked at Fang Zhen and his group rushing towards them in astonishment.

"What kind of madman dares to attack our mine?"

"These people seem to be members of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy that the administrators mentioned. I heard that the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy defeated a large army led by a two-star god general in the Goddess Star System and captured a fourth-class breeding planet."

"No wonder they dare to be so arrogant. Just because they've fought with those trash from remote star systems, they think we're the same as them."

The dozen or so young men and women from the Empire present looked at Fang Zhen and his group who were attacking and commented very calmly, their expressions were indescribably relaxed, as if the attackers were not a dozen or so experts with strength comparable to the half-step Fusion God Realm, but just minor monsters on the roadside.

"Go and take care of them." At this moment, the Holy Spirit Clan youth, who was sitting cross-legged next to a pile of dragon crystals and whose body was more than seven meters tall and whose body was like glass, did not even look at Fang Zhen and the others, and casually gave orders to the young men and women.

In an instant, these young men and women all stood up, showing no resistance to the Holy Spirit Clan youth's orders. Even though they were all half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts, they treated this Holy Spirit Clan youth with the same respect as a Divine Fusion Realm powerhouse.

The more than two hundred people mining in the center of the camp looked at the young Holy Spirit Clan member who had spoken with envy and awe in their eyes.

The Empire has thirty experts who can be ranked among the top 100 half-step God Fusion Realm on Wanlong Star. The current Holy Spirit Clan youth is one of them, and he is ranked 53rd. He is the Light God Envoy Sheen, who is only at the middle level among the top 100 experts. It is said that his personal strength is already able to fight against a true early stage God Fusion Realm expert without being at a disadvantage. He has mastered three demigod mysteries, and all of them have reached the perfect state. He is the Empire's peerless genius.

While the miners were watching the messenger of light, Shin, the twenty-odd young men and women from the Empire also engaged in combat with Fang Zhen and his group.

Fang Zhen and the others, including Ye Qinglu, are all at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm. Ye Qinglu, the strongest, is at the limit of the initial stage of the Celestial Realm. After activating her energy burst, her actual physical strength exceeds 170,000 tons, which is close to the limit of the initial stage of the Divine Fusion Realm.

However, these young men and women of the Empire are not ordinary half-step Divine Fusion Realm cultivators. Not only are the races they parasitize powerful, but each of them has mastered at least one demigod's profound mystery and reached the perfect state. Their actual physical strength is over 60,000 tons, and when they use their blood and qi to fight, their strength exceeds 150,000 tons. Each of them is a step stronger than top half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts like Huang Jiu.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. However, because first-class planets far surpass second-class planets in every aspect, whether it is gravity or the hardness of matter, even the fluctuations that a mid-stage Fusion God Realm expert can cause are only a few thousand meters in radius, and even the half-step Fusion God Realm expert is even less. In fact, even the phantoms formed by using blood and qi are only thirty or forty meters tall.

Dozens of people were fighting together, just like a group of high-level martial artists ganging up on Azure Star. Explosions and various things collapsed continuously inside the cave.

"These gray-clad men are incredibly strong! They can actually fight on par with those from the Empire. Just who are they?"

"These bodies are as tough as iron. They withstood a blow from the phantom of qi and blood and only coughed up blood. What race are they? Even the most physically robust Titans and Celestials probably aren't this strong, right?"

The people from various factions who were mining were all surprised to see the fighting power displayed by Fang Zhen and his dozen or so men.

It's quite normal for the half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts in the Empire to be strong. After all, the Empire is too big, occupying tens of thousands of star systems, and its population is the largest among the top ten peak forces. Even if only a small number of geniuses are vying for a spot on Wanlong Star, the half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts who can come to Wanlong Star are not comparable to the top half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts in ordinary star systems.

Fang Zhen and his dozen or so men were able to fight to a standstill, and their physical resilience was simply unbelievable, which made everyone curious about what race these people, whom they had never seen before, were.

In fact, not only were the people from various major powers curious, but even the geniuses from the imperial kingdoms who were fighting were astonished.

Everyone seriously suspected that Fang Zhen's race was a monster race!

Compared to the members of various forces who were just watching from the sidelines, those who actually fought Fang Zhen and his group knew very well that Fang Zhen and his group were not only incredibly strong, but they were also not even at the half-step Divine Fusion Realm. They were fighting against their qi and blood power purely with their physical strength.

If it weren't for the fact that they outnumbered the others, their bodies would probably have been the first to give way when facing Fang Zhen and the others, whose bodies were like monsters, and when they clashed with their ultimate techniques.

However, Fang Zhen and the others were equally surprised.

"Aren't these NPCs going to attack together?" Yi Ye Fuyun glanced at the more than two hundred NPCs in the distance who showed no intention of making a move, and was slightly surprised.

According to their original estimate, if the more than two hundred NPCs in the camp rushed forward, even if they had all mastered the fourth level of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, they would be killed quickly. After all, their defense was not high enough to ignore the profound martial arts techniques used by the half-step Fusion God Realm.

If you are hit directly in the front, your body will be punched with a big hole. Even if your body can recover quickly, your physical movements and blood circulation will be greatly affected during this time, which will reduce your combat power and make you easier to kill.

But by this time, they had already been fighting with more than twenty NPCs for two or three minutes, and the other NPCs in the camp showed no intention of making a move, which was really strange.

"Since that's the case, let's take out a few NPCs first." Ye Qinglu looked at the other NPCs who had no intention of fighting, and while controlling the Three Thousand Longswords to deal with the four geniuses of the Imperial Kingdom, he moved away to prepare to use the Eighteenth Form of the Advanced Profound Technique of Desolation: Annihilation of Heaven and Earth.

With this move, "Heaven and Earth Annihilation," although it would also destroy him, Ye Qinglu was confident that he could take away the people in front of him.

However, just as Ye Qinglu retreated to a safe distance and prepared to mobilize the surrounding energy, a young man in the camp, who was over seven meters tall and whose body seemed to be made of glass, stood up. With just one step, he appeared as a beam of light, standing less than two meters in front of Ye Qinglu. A ball of light emerged from his hand, and he struck Ye Qinglu with a palm strike. It was as if a sun had appeared in the cave, its radiance shining in all directions and continuously expanding.

Although Ye Qinglu was surprised by the young man's speed, the combat level of the Realm of All Things, coupled with the reaction speed of an extraordinary life form, might not be enough for him to use a profound-level martial skill, but using a transcendent-level martial skill would not be a problem.

The thousands of swords that instantly coalesced transformed into thousands of bolts of lightning, bombarding the young man from all directions.

Boom boom boom!
Thousands of longswords struck the spreading light, producing an incredible booming sound.

Even after the light dissipated in the cave, everyone, from the fighting geniuses of the imperial kingdom to the members of various factions mining in the camp, was stunned.

With a single move, the God of Light, Sheen, annihilated Ye Qinglu and more than ten others, leaving not even ashes behind. Only dark shadows remained on the cave walls, proving that Ye Qinglu and the others had once existed.

After completing this task, the Light God Envoy, Shin, vanished from the spot. By the time everyone noticed, he was already sitting cross-legged beside the dragon crystal in the camp, cultivating as if nothing had ever happened.

"Is this the power of the Envoy of Light?"

"That's too strong! He wiped out that group of monsters in one move. Is he really a half-step into the Divine Fusion Realm?"

The half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts from various forces looked at the Light God Envoy, Shin, with eyes full of terror.

Although everyone on Wanlong Star knows that the Light God Envoy Shin is very strong, after all, he is ranked 53rd on the top 100 list, they do not know just how strong the Light God Envoy Shin is.

Seeing the Light God Envoy, Sheen, make a move, they realized that the title of Light God Envoy was truly well-deserved. "Alright, there's nothing more to see. You can all continue mining!" The geniuses of the Empire, seeing the terrified experts from various forces, were not surprised and let them continue mining.

Shin, the messenger of the God of Light!

Experts from other forces may not know the situation, but as geniuses of the Empire, they are very clear that Xien is not on the same level as them. He is a true peerless genius, someone that even a powerful being at the Fusion God Realm must communicate with on equal terms.

With the perfection of the three gates of the demigod of light, Shin's physical strength actually exceeded 80,000 tons, and with the use of his blood and qi, it exceeded 200,000 tons. Because of the demigod's profound meaning, his reaction speed and speed even surpassed those of ordinary early-stage Fusion God Realm experts. It is not an exaggeration to say that Shin is an early-stage Fusion God Realm expert.

The fact that Ye Qinglu and the others could get a powerful expert like Xi En, who was at the initial stage of the Divine Fusion Realm, to personally take action was already something to be proud of.

As Ye Qinglu and the others died, the offline Ye Qinglu and the others were also completely bewildered.

"What's going on? What did that NPC do? How did we disappear?" Yi Ye Fuyun couldn't help but ask the others in the video conference.

Before he died, he was fighting with other NPCs when he was suddenly struck by a burst of light and he was gone. He strongly suspects that he was killed by the plot.

"We were probably wiped out by that BOSS in one move," Ye Qinglu said calmly.

"They wiped out our entire screen in one move. Is that camp boss a Divine Fusion Realm expert?" Fang Zhen couldn't help but ask Ye Qinglu.

Although he had experienced being instantly killed by a BOSS before, this was the first time he had been completely wiped out like this. If their opponent was a BOSS at the Fusion God Realm, they would have to seriously reconsider how to complete the mission.

"It shouldn't be." Ye Qinglu thought about the blood and qi of Xien that she sensed and shook her head slightly. "The feeling that the camp BOSS gave me should still be that of a half-step Fusion God Realm, but his attributes should be much higher than those of an ordinary half-step Fusion God Realm."

"If that's the case, then we should still have a chance." Fang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If it really is a Fusion God Realm BOSS, then they will have to find other ways to complete the mission. After all, the minimum strength of the Fusion God Realm is 100,000 tons, but NPCs usually master many perfect martial arts techniques, and their actual strength far exceeds 100,000 tons. With the 2.5 times effect of blood and qi power, they are no match for them with just their physical strength.

“Since that camp boss is so strong, why don’t we level up first?” Thousand Blade Demon suggested. “We are now on a first-class planet, and the cultivation environment is far superior to that of Azure Star. Once we level up again, we should have a way to deal with it.”

“That’s true, but there are no martial arts schools on Wanlong Star, and the time it takes to revive after death is also longer. So the overall improvement speed is actually not faster than in Chiyue City.” Yiye Fuyun frowned and said, “We don’t know the time limit for the mission. If we are slow, the mission will fail.”

“The time limit is indeed a big problem.” Fang Zhen pondered for a moment and then suddenly said, “But I think we can actually exploit a bug to speed up the leveling up for this mission.”

"Exploit a bug? How do you do that?" Yi Ye Fuyun couldn't help but look at Fang Zhen, his eyes full of curiosity.

At this moment, everyone else also looked at Fang Zhen, wondering how he could exploit a bug to speed up his cultivation in this new map of Wanlong Star.

“You didn’t get a good feel for the Dragon Crystal just now, so you probably don’t know that the purity of its energy is more than ten times greater than that of Energy Blood Essence,” Fang Zhen explained. “If we use the Dragon Crystal for cultivation, combined with the environment of Wanlong Star, it will definitely be better than the fifth-level cultivation room in the Intermediate Cultivation Tower. So what I’m trying to say is that for improving our training methods, we can first return to Crimson Moon City and use the Intermediate Meditation Room, while we can cultivate on Wanlong Star using the Dragon Crystal. This should be much more efficient.”

"That's a good idea." Thousand Blade Evil Ghost's eyes lit up. He felt that Fang Zhen was simply a genius. With this cultivation method, it could be said that he had made use of the cultivation advantages of Wanlong Star and Canglan Star. Moreover, since they would die during cultivation anyway, they could be resurrected and cultivate on the other side after dying on one side. The efficiency was definitely faster than simply cultivating in one place.

"Then the next thing to do is to solve the problem of the Dragon Crystal." Yi Ye Fu Yun said with a headache, "With so many of us cultivating, it may not be enough time to search for the Dragon Crystal from the outside. But if we go to that camp, the BOSS of that camp is so strong. It may not be easy for us to snatch the Dragon Crystal and escape."

“This problem is easy to solve,” Ye Qinglu said. “Although that BOSS is faster than me, Luo Wushang, who is good at speed, should be a little faster than that BOSS. Moreover, we can find Lu Fanchen and the others to go together. Their level is higher and they can withstand more damage than us. If they just take the dragon crystals from the camp and run away, Luo Wushang should be able to escape.”

“Indeed, I’ll contact them now.” After hearing this, Fang Zhen also felt that Ye Qinglu’s plan was feasible, and then contacted the other people on Wanlong Star.

While having more people join would result in a greater share of the extra rewards, it would also make the mission easier to complete. After all, there are more than fifty Celestial Realm experts on Wanlong Star, and working together would definitely be much stronger than those dozen or so individuals.

After Fang Zhen and the others were resurrected, everyone on Wanlong Star gathered at the Abyss Cave. To make resurrection easier in the future, they even set up a resurrection device not far from the Abyss Cave, so that if it failed the first time, they could save time traveling later.

As Fang Zhen and his hundred men returned to the Dragon Crystal Mine camp and launched another surprise attack, the members of the various factions mining inside the camp were all shocked.

"Why are the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts School here again?"

"Are all the people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy this brave?"

Members of various factions couldn't help but admire the Obsidian Martial Arts School as they watched the hundred players rushing forward. Despite the fact that more than ten experts had already died, the Starry Sky Merchant Guild should have known how those people died. Unexpectedly, the Obsidian Martial Arts School sent even more experts. This was clearly a move to fight the Empire to the death.

There is probably no other company on the entire Wanlong Star that would dare to do something like this.

This time, the Light God Envoy Sheen led more than twenty people from the Empire to make a direct attack. Fang Zhen and his group were prepared for this. Lu Fanchen, Lin Xinyao, and Li Tianxing, three mid-level Celestial Realm cultivators, directly blocked the attack. Luo Wushang and nearly ten other agile Celestial Realm cultivators rushed to the camp to snatch the dragon crystals laid out on the ground. The others held off the more than twenty people from the Empire.

"You're courting death!" The Light God Envoy, Sheen, was furious as he looked at Luo Wushang and the others who went to steal the dragon crystal.

With just one more palm strike carrying a ball of light, illuminating the entire cave, intending to wipe out all the players inside, Lu Fanchen and his two companions simply grabbed onto the target. Because the three of them were using no martial arts techniques and were at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, their speed was slightly faster than that of the Light God Envoy, Sheen, who was using martial arts techniques.

As the three embraced the Light God Envoy Sheen, his movements were momentarily slowed down. For a moment, he was unable to break free from the stronger Lu Fanchen and the other two, and was forcefully slammed against the rock wall by them.

However, this delay only lasted for a second. The power of the Light God Envoy, Sheen, erupted, and the tangible blood energy phantom, with more than twenty tons of blood energy, instantly shook Lu Fanchen and the other two away. Immediately afterward, he struck out with a palm.

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted in the cave. Although Lu Fanchen and his two companions used the advanced extraordinary martial arts techniques that came with the training method to block it, the light had an unimaginable attack frequency and speed, making it impossible to dodge or defend against. They could only rely on their bodies to withstand it.

In an instant, Lu Fanchen and the other two were reduced to ashes in the radiant light, while the Light God Envoy, Sheen, was knocked back against the rock wall by the impact of the three's martial arts, but was not injured.

Conversely, due to the attack of the God of Light, Sheen, Fang Zhen and the others inside the cave also died again, leaving behind dark shadows on the ground and rock walls.

However, the expression on the face of Shin, the messenger of the God of Light, was not good.

Because Lu Fanchen and the other two were holding them back, in that short time, Luo Wushang and the others managed to grab a lot of dragon crystals and escape from the cave.

"Chase them! Go after them!" the Light God's messenger, Shin, roared.

While he was overseeing the camp, the dragon crystal was stolen. If this got back to the base, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

However, just as Ye Qinglu had guessed, in terms of pure speed, the Light God Envoy Sheen and the others were not as fast as Luo Wushang and the other agile characters. By the time the Light God Envoy Sheen and the others caught up to the cave entrance, Luo Wushang and the others had long since disappeared.

"Die! I want all those people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy dead!" The Light God Envoy, Sheen, looked at the people of the Empire and said coldly, "Pass on my order: have everyone keep an eye on the Starry Sky Merchant Guild's base. If anyone comes out, leave no one alive!"

"Yes!" Everyone in the Empire immediately sprang into action.

This time they have lost face big time. The dragon crystal in the Abyss Cave was actually stolen. This is the first time since the Empire established a base on Wanlong Star that they have suffered such a great humiliation. This can never be washed away unless the blood of everyone in the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is used to cleanse it.

In no time, news of the Obsidian Martial Arts School members looting the Imperial Kingdom's mining camp spread throughout the entire Wanlong Star.
