Chapter 939: Strength Race, A Good Hand of Cards
The second realm, Brightmoon Highland.
The spacetime secret realm enveloped the area and gathered dozens of Strength race Venerates.
"What's going on, Ayra?" Kazdo's expression was tense, his imposing figure towering larger than Ayra, despite both being Sovereign Venerates.
The strength of the Strength race was easily discernible from their physique.
"I'm not sure either. The connection suddenly cut off." Ayra furrowed her brows. "There might be trouble on the Sky race's side in the Hidden Ancestral Realm."
"Quick, contact them! We've only made it halfway here, and the most crucial Supreme experts haven't even been transported yet. The plan can't proceed at all!" Kazdo's eyes widened.
"They're not responding." Ayra also looked anxious.
The plan was flawlessly arranged, especially with everything going smoothly up until the moment when the dimensional pathway abruptly disconnected.
"The divine item, divination astrolabe must have been discovered." Ahlan speculated. "The only passage is too risky. When the divination astrolabe entered, it caused a disturbance in the only passage. Everyone is now searching for it."
"These useless beings from the Sky race in the Hidden Ancestral Realm! Don't they know to deploy more King Corps to guard it?" Kazdo angrily stomped the ground.
The earth shook, and spacetime quivered.
Ahlan glanced at him. "Mengyi King has appeared in the second realm before. If he appears in the only passage again, it could easily link him to other events. Moreover, the Supreme experts are too conspicuous in the only passage."
"I trust the Hidden Ancestral Realm's Sky race will send their strongest King Corps to protect it. There shouldn't be a problem."
"I've contacted Mengyi King. He said..." Ayra's expression changed suddenly. "The Mengta King Corps elites responsible for this mission were ambushed. Almost all of them were wiped out, and even the divine item, the divination astrolabe was taken."
Swoosh! The Strength race Venerates' expressions turned grim.
The divine item, the divination astrolabe had been taken away.
How could they proceed now?
Without the Supreme experts, as mere Venerates, they couldn't possibly execute the plan.
"Who did this?" Ahlan inquired.
"I only know it was the Sky King Corps, but I didn't see who exactly," Ayra replied.
"It's better than having it taken by the Dark race." Ahlan pondered, "The divination astrolabe requires star core energy for refining. Even Supreme experts might hesitate to expend such willpower."
"Moreover, given the caution of the Hidden Ancestral Realm's King Corps, they won't expose our existence."
"This benefits them in no way."
"D*mn it!" Kazdo's nostrils flared, furious. "After all the meticulous preparations, I didn't expect it to fail at the last moment."
"It's not a complete failure," Ahlan reassured calmly. "The plan hasn't been exposed. We just didn't anticipate this thoroughly enough. We need to strategize carefully."
"So what do we do now?" Ayra asked.
"Let's shelve the plan for now," Ahlan suggested. "We'll reassess after this storm has passed. Our current losses aren't too severe."
"Wait? We've waited long enough!" Kazdo fumed impatiently. "When will we, the Strength race get back to our homeland and seek vengeance?"
"Since we've waited this long, a little longer won't hurt," Ahlan replied calmly.
"If it belongs to us, we will reclaim it one day."
...
Wang Ye, return to the Sky race's encampment!
They returned victorious!
The members of Battle Team No. 1 were ecstatic.
This journey through the only passage would be unforgettable for a lifetime.
This was the legendary only passage!
Moreover, they had assisted the legion commander in killing numerous Dark race Venerates.
Their achievements were brilliant.
Now they had the right to boast!
"Thank you, everyone," Wang Ye addressed his team members. "This mission in the high-dimensional battlefield concludes here. From now on, everyone can rest assured at the encampment and await the mission's completion."
"By then, everyone will receive significant sky merit."
The team members exchanged looks, filled with excitement and joy.
They understood well that the legion commander's mention of substantial battle credits meant there would be no shortage!
The legion commander had vanquished so many Dark race Venerates that the Sky merit would amount to tens of millions.
Even a small share would yield them a bountiful harvest!
This time, they had reaped great rewards!
"Long live the Legion Commander!"
"Why call him just the Legion Commander? He should be the Chief Commander now!"
"Let's be a bit modest. We'll announce it after the high-dimensional battlefield mission ends!" The team bantered.
Though they couldn't use the mission astrolabe during the only passage mission, the legion commander had collected the corpses of the Dark race Venerates he'd slain, ready to exchange them for corresponding sky merit at any time.
So, despite their current slight lead... the position of chief commander was now unshakable.
Lord Ye Wang would become the chief commander of the Sille Little King Corps!
A chief commander of Eternal level!
Superior-grade Sky race!
It was unimaginable glory!
"Congratulations, future Chief Commander," Lan Scarlet said to Wang Ye.
He was truly outstanding now.
Wang Ye smiled knowingly.
In truth, he had no intention of assuming the role of chief commander.
Tian Yumo would soon be promoted to a superior-grade Sky race, so there was no need for him to continue laboring for Sharuth.
Freedom was bliss. And whenever he had the time, he would enjoy tormenting Wille with Bea. It was so relaxing.
After several encounters with the chief commander, he understood the demanding nature of the role, they worked tirelessly and rested little. Some young masters didn't even offer them a moment's respite.
However, Sharuth was still quite decent. She had recognized his potential.
Moreover, her Sille Little King Corps was exceptionally well-structured.
It boasted many exquisite Sky race beauties.
For instance, the first Legion Commander Lu Nai, who rivaled him, appeared as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Young Master Sharuth was exceptionally beautiful and held a noble status.
As for his sixth legion, Lan Scarlet, Ere, Xia Ludi, Liang Tianyue...
They were all outstanding talents.
If he ever chose to depart, he'd find it hard to let go.
"We'll decide that when the time comes." Wang Ye dismissed these miscellaneous thoughts.
After chatting with Scarlet for a while, he went to visit the An Lingsha and An Lingna.
Their bond had grown immensely after this incident.
But with Xiao Wu by her side, An Lingsha still maintained a degree of reserve.
Heh.
After the mission, he would visit her Third Sequence Palace as a guest!
The kind of visit where he wouldn't leave easily.
After deepening his bond with the women, Wang Ye entered the encampment's cultivation realm.
Isolating himself from the surrounding spacetime, he couldn't sense any other Sky race experts nearby.
Wang Ye's consciousness delved into the divine item, the divination astrolabe.
This journey yielded his greatest harvest yet!
It served three primary functions.
Firstly, it could devour spacetime, encompassing any spatial domain-type treasures. Of course, its effectiveness depended on their grade.
However, it was already quite powerful, excelling in controlling the battlefield, providing support, or even eliminating Sky race entities. It boasted top-tier effectiveness.
Secondly, it enabled spacetime teleportation, covering immense distances!
It could traverse directly across the Primal Chaos Stars, whether constructing dimensional pathways or for personal use, offering remarkable results.
It might even substitute short-range teleportation arrays! However, long-distance travel was another matter.
"If I can find the Strength race and learn their method of teleporting to the Primordial Cosmic Sea..." Wang Ye's thoughts chilled him.
He wouldn't need to rely on the protection of the only passage. He could journey directly to the Primordial Cosmic Sea!
It was a high-dimensional cosmic gate sealed by the Sky and Dark races!
For humanity to grow strong and stand on equal footing, or even surpass them, the only path was the Primordial Cosmic Sea!
However, he wasn't yet powerful enough and wasn't fully prepared.
Rushing in would do more harm than good.
"When I ascend to the superior-grade Sky race, I'll learn more about the secrets of the Primordial Cosmic Sea, including information gleaned from the Strength race..." Wang Ye planned meticulously.
Setting his sights and accumulating preparations during this time.
Once he broke through as a High Dimension Lord, he would embark!
As for the third function...
It was presently unusable because this wasn't the Primordial Cosmic Sea.
"Who would have thought the true purpose of the divine item, the divination astrolabe..."
"It's an aircraft capable of freely soaring through the Primordial Cosmic Sea!"
Wang Ye chuckled softly.
The divination astrolabe was a spatial-temporal flight divine item.
Devouring spacetime replenished its energy.
The twelve-dimensional pathways functioned as wings, akin to those of the Sky race.
The primary astrolabe was essentially the interior of the craft.
It controlled flight and also served as a resting chamber.
"The Strength race played a good hand." Wang Ye sighed.
Seated on the divination astrolabe, he returned to the only passage.
First, he used its teleportation function to enter the only passage, causing a stir.
However, since no Supreme experts entered, it didn't create much disturbance.
The Strength race's Venerates acted independently. Some stirred up trouble, others covertly communicated, and some lurked in secrecy.
Though he didn't know the details of the transaction between the Sky and Strength races, the enemy of one's enemy was a friend.
Moreover, the Strength race had provided ample assistance, prompting the Hidden Ancestral Realm's Sky race to lend aid.
Mengyi King's clash with the Dark race's Supreme in the second realm had stirred significant attention.
Ayra, who covertly lurked in the Brightmoon Highlands, likely managed the communications.
As for the divine item, the divination astrolabe, it had long been entrusted to the Hidden Ancestral Realm's Sky race.
This was part of their agreement.
"If I hadn't intervened, the Hidden Ancestral Realm's Sky race would have made a grave error." Wang Ye understood.
The Strength race had certainly concealed something from the Hidden Ancestral Realm's Sky race. They weren't mere brutes but rather significant schemers!
Wang Ye couldn't help but thought, "So, what did the Strength race intend by infiltrating? Seeking vengeance against the Dark race? Did these two factions harbor deep-seated enmity?"
"I truly wish to know." Wang Ye regained his spiritual energy.
He had expended considerable energy when slaying the Hidden Ancestral Realm's peak Sky race.
Though not fully restored now, he couldn't afford to wait.
Who knew what the Strength race might scheme during this time?
He had to seize the opportunity.
"Let's refine the two high-grade ancient gem treasures and depart immediately." Wang Ye retrieved the gift from the Hidden Ancestral Realm's Sky race young master.
One for offense, one for defense. These were his pressing needs!
His Rubstone Armor and Perish Saber were both low-grade ancient gem treasures.
They lagged two levels behind high-grade ancient gem treasures!
Especially the war saber, crucial for enhancing attack power!
Divine Destiny Saint Saber!
Vajra Soul Armor!
Both were refined!
Wang Ye wielded the war saber, mystical engravings sparkling forth, akin to a chosen one!
The Vajra Soul Armor gleamed brilliantly, its robust defense providing dual-stage protection for body and soul!
His combat prowess now exceeded even his performance in the only passage!
"I'm off to see an old friend." Wang Ye quietly departed from the Cultivation Realm.
He didn't notify any team members and set out alone.
He went to venture alone.
