Chapter 1130: Chapter 1086: Overwhelming Wealth

In the Black Stone Domain, if the average cultivator at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm makes up the most important part of the combat strength of various races, then the peak of the Rule Integration Realm is like the sky for many smaller clans.

Of course, it’s not so exaggerated for the Evil Clans, who have Open Heaven Realm elders. The death of a cultivator at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm wouldn’t cause the heavens to fall and the earth to split for the Evil Clans, but it would certainly cause significant damage.

Originally, the Evil Clans had fourteen cultivators at the peak of the Rule Integration Realm with varying cultivation levels. One died in Sky Sea City, and now with Kou Fen dead, only twelve remain.

Before the incident in Sky Sea City, the human race already had more cultivators in the Emperor Realm than the Evil Clans, and even those humans who commanded more than two secondary rules in the Emperor Realm began to exceed the number in the Evil Clans.

After the ancestor of the Evil Clans broke through to the Open Heaven Realm, they became a dominant force in the Black Stone Domain, occupying most of the good spirit material birth points.

Wherever the Sixth-Tier top-grade precious treasures emerged in the Black Stone Domain, the Evil Clans always had a hand in it.

For a considerable amount of time, the word of the Evil Clans was absolute in the Black Stone Domain, and other races did not dare to provoke them, for the ancestor of the Evil Clans stood at the Open Heaven Realm, causing all to relent repeatedly.

There was no choice but to relent. When an Open Heaven Realm being became angry, it could truly annihilate a race.

Later, as the ancestor of the Evil Clans kept a low profile for a long time, their overbearing actions seemed to diminish somewhat.

On the other hand, the human race had been rising steadily over the years, with an increasing number of cultivators in both the Sun Moon Realm and the Rule Integration Realm, and the number of Emperor Realm cultivators continued to grow as well.

The human race never gave up on ascending to the Open Heaven Realm, but unfortunately, they had yet to make any headway.

Racial talents and lack of breakthrough methods restricted the human race from truly reaching the Open Heaven Realm.

The suppression of the human race by the Evil Clans involved not only the Qiankun Stone but also the suppression of the human race’s development.

In the Black Stone Domain, there could only be one voice, and that had to be the Evil Clans’. No other race should even think about touching the position of dominance.

This was the thought of the Evil Clans, and they had acted upon it.

The situation after that involved the Evil Clans dragging the Ice Race into the quagmire of war to jointly besiege the human race.

The resistance of the human race, or rather the foundation that the human race possessed, led to a stalemate in this war, followed by the arrival of the Wu Meng Clan.

The Evil Clans had never expected things to develop to this extent. Despite their advantage in strength, the situation had somehow turned out like this.

This time, with the onslaught of the Soul-devouring Worms against Jiguang City, the Ice Race and the Evil Clans, with their advantage, had the best opportunity to wipe out the human cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm. As a result, the Evil Clans suffered heavy losses among those sent, and now even Kou Fen has perished.

The most critical point is that the Evil Clans still do not know who caused them such heavy losses.

A few days later, Chen Fei arrived at Pianyi City, where most of the Rule Integration Realm cultivators from Jiguang City had already gathered.

The Ice Race and the Evil Clans, both in the process and the outcome, felt bewildered about this ambush.

Similarly, the Rule Integration Realm cultivators of Jiguang City, the targets of the ambush, were also in a state of bewilderment.

The Rule Integration Realm cultivators of Jiguang City had learned through special channels that the losses of the Rule Integration Realm from the Ice Race and the Evil Clans were extremely severe, especially since Kou Fen, who was at the peak of its power, also fell.

The human race, naturally, had its share of losses as well, but the number of cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm who perished was far fewer than in either the Ice Race or the Evil Clans.

“Truly, heaven helps our human race!”

In a tavern in Pianyi City, a human cultivator from the Rule Integration Realm raised his glass in a toast, his expression carrying a trace of relief, and the other human cultivators echoed the gesture.

If not for the sudden appearance of a mysterious strong being, more than half of the human cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm who made it to Pianyi City would not have survived.

Most of those early-stage cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm would have remained in that area forever.

“It is said that the Emperor is trying to find this mysterious strong being, as they might be friendly towards our human race since they were willing to kill members of the Ice Race and the Evil Clans.”

Yu Dingshan, seated next to Chen Fei, whispered.

“Any leads?” Chen Fei asked, taking a sip from his cup.

“No.”

Yu Dingshan shook his head and smiled. “If it were that easy to find them, the Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Ice Race and the Evil Clans, and probably even the ancestor of the Evil Clans, would likely already be on their way to kill them.”

“That makes sense,” Chen Fei acknowledged with a smile.

An hour later, Chen Fei arrived at a new city located near Pianyi City.

This new city was still called Jiguang City, and all the residents of the old Jiguang City had moved here.

There were many residents in Jiguang City, and Pianyi City definitely did not have enough space to accommodate them all. In the end, they simply built a new city next to Pianyi City.

For cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm, building a city was not as easy as a wave of the hand, but it was indeed not a difficult task. The real challenge was replicating the formations and runes carved into the old Jiguang City over so many years.

The new Jiguang City would need significant time to achieve the same level of defensive strength as the old formations and runes.

Pianyi City, situated at the very southern edge of the Black Stone Domain, housed a city with almost no notable spirit material birth points nearby, hence conflicts here were rare.

In one of the new city’s courtyards, Chen Fei saw Qu Qingsheng and a few others, his face showing a hint of a smile.

A moment later, Chen Fei entered a cultivation room and, after setting up several anti-spy formations, began to officially take stock of his gains.

There were dozens of mid-grade and top-grade mystical treasures combined, and the value of just the treasures alone was incredibly insane, not to mention the low-grade Primordial Crystals and various spirit materials hidden within.

It was not easy to sell these treasures at the moment, since the characteristics of the Ice Race and Evil Clans were somewhat obvious, but there was no problem with the spirit materials, as long as they were not sold in large quantities, they would not raise suspicion from others.

There were also a large number of low-grade Primordial Crystals, which made Chen Fei’s daily consumption of ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals seem trivial.

For a considerable period of time, Chen Fei would not need to worry about the shortage of low-grade Primordial Crystals.

If it were not for the fact that increasing the number of shattered low-grade Primordial Crystals would not significantly enhance his epiphany, Chen Fei would have started to increase his daily consumption of them.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei had sorted out the items from the dozens of mid-grade and top-grade mystical treasures, before taking out Kou Fen’s Broken Flame Saber.

Top-grade Dao Artifacts were exceedingly rare in the Black Stone Domain, and many smaller races would pass them down from generation to generation.

Because forging a top-grade Dao Artifact required Sixth-Tier best spiritual materials, and such materials were very rare in the Black Stone Domain.

Even if they were available, they were occupied by larger races, so the peak cultivators from smaller clans could only obtain them through exchange.

The top-grade mystical treasures in the hands of the Evil Clans were custom-made, as they had been the dominant force in Black Stone Domain for many years, and they possessed far more resources than other races.

Chen Fei looked at the Broken Flame Saber in his hand, its spirituality had long been erased by him.

For artifacts of this level, it might be possible to subdue them within their own race.

But to subdue them to another race was too difficult and might even expose Chen Fei, so he completely erased the spirituality of the Broken Flame Saber, just to be safe.

Even though the spirituality was erased, the grade of the Broken Flame Saber only dropped slightly and remained among the top-grade mystical treasures.

This alone showed how exceptional the Broken Flame Saber originally was as a weapon.

Unfortunately, this top-grade Dao Artifact could only be kept in Chen Fei’s inventory for a very long time.

In the Black Stone Domain, it was difficult to find a buyer, and it might very well end up being forcibly absorbed by the Qianyuan Sword and the Concealment Bell for its spiritual essence, eventually turning into a piece of scrap metal.

Besides the Broken Flame Saber itself, there were plenty of low-grade Primordial Crystals and spirit materials stored inside.

The wealth of an Emperor Realm compared to the late stages of the Rule Integration Realm was about ten times more, if not more, due to the different statuses and strengths of the two.

Especially for the Emperors of the Evil Clans, their wealth was far greater than that of other races at the same rank.

The wealth that Chen Fei gained from killing Kou Fen was even more than dozens of mid-stage and late-stage Rule Integration Realm combined.

Of course, the difficulty of killing the two was also entirely different.

Chen Fei carefully examined the collection inside the Broken Flame Saber, identifying each item and then categorizing them properly.

Sorting out the spirit materials inside the Broken Flame Saber took Chen Fei half an hour to finish.

Besides the overt wealth, Chen Fei had also gained some memory fragments from Kou Fen, as well as an incomplete Four Profound River Basin Technique.

The memory fragments from Kou Fen contained many secrets of the Evil Clans, and because they were secrets, they were deeply remembered and could potentially be read by the God Devouring technique.

So-called clan secrets are sometimes very important, and sometimes they cannot change anything.

When it comes to clan wars, the real contest is one’s own strength; many other methods are at most auxiliary.

The secret that Chen Fei could immediately use was the contact method for the traitors within the human race.

Kou Fen did not know the true identities of these traitors, but having the contact method was enough.

However, since it was only a fragment of memory, Chen Fei had only obtained the contact method for one traitor.

Beyond this traitor’s identity, the Four Profound River Basin Technique was a significant gain.

This martial art, which can be cultivated from the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm all the way up to the Open Heaven Realm, although not as powerful as the Wu Meng Clan’s Nine Heavens Star Kill, was still an extremely rare inheritance for those in the Rule Integration Realm of the Black Stone Domain.

When Chen Fei obtained this martial art, he integrated it into the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique.

The essence of the Desolate Universe God Slaying Technique did not change much, but its Skill Level dropped slightly from Great Completion to ninety percent of the stage of Perfection.

This change in Skill Level showed that the power of the martial art had not increased by much.

Chen Fei flipped over his right hand, and Kou Fen’s spiritual essence appeared in his palm.

Now with two Bronze Runes, one portion of spiritual essence could directly be used three times by Chen Fei, gaining thrice the benefit from a single catch.

The Bronze Rune actually drew very little energy, so currently, Kou Fen’s spiritual essence still held an enormous amount of power.

The spiritual essence from a Peak Rule Integration Realm, if used properly, could even give someone at the late-stage peak of the Rule Integration Realm a chance to break through to the Peak of Rule Integration Realm.
