Chapter 376: Star Map
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When entering the cultivation room, Ye Mo was especially careful. He sent several energy beams to different directions of the room to make sure there were no traps before heading in. The first floor was completely empty. After looking around, Ye Mo found a hidden underground room beneath the cultivation room. After opening the entrance to the hidden room, Ye Mo entered. He was faced with chest after chest of Mixed Energy Pills. There were so many he couldn’t take them all even with his dinsional bracelet.
“Well I can only bla the Tianwu Kingdom for having shitty dinsional bracelets. There’s not enough space to get all these pills. Let’s see if there are any other treasures.” Ling’er sighed and ignored the pills. Ye Mo continued looking around and saw a painting hanging on the wall. It was a painting of a starry sky with nurous constellations depicted on it. Ye Mo also found that all the stars in the painting were in fact created using precious stones, depicting the 12 constellations.
Star Map!
This map of 12 constellations was precisely the Star Map ntioned by the bandits. Ye Mo could feel an incomparably powerful Star Power within the map. This was definitely an extrely powerful treasure. On top of that, each of the precious stones on the map appeared extraordinary, all of them radiating an intense light.
“This Star Map is indeed extraordinary. The bandits have ntioned that after refining this Star Map, the One Ard Butcher will be able to reach the Spirit Devour Realm. Is this Star Map really that powerful?” Ye Mo appeared shaken.
“These precious stones are Star Tears, the tears of cosmic stars that had condensed into precious stones. The value of a single Star Tear is probably the sa as a Millennia Soul Gathering Pill. With so many of these Star Tears on a single Star Map, this map is much more valuable than even the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram. Then again, in terms of long term worth, it is not as good as the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram.” Ling’er was very astonished to see the Star Map as well. Although the Tianwu Kingdom was a small kingdom, there were many treasures here.
Although refining the Star Map could help one easily reach the Spirit Devour Realm, that is all it does. As for the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram, once you have successfully refined it, you will have a Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram within your body that helps improve your future cultivation speed.
“Aunt is already at Spirit Devour Realm. If I give her the Star Map to help her cultivate the Star Power, it might help her reach the Transcendence Realm faster.” Ye Mo then put the Star Map away. As for the Mixed Energy Pills, he could only take as much as he could carry. Otherwise, everything would be taken by the Chen Clan Army. He took two chests of Mixed Energy Pills, probably exceeding a hundred thousand pills in total. He did not really need these pills, but he could give them to the Xiao Clan, or he could also give them to Li Suifeng and Yan Shihan for their cultivation purposes. The growth of their strength would be helpful for Ye Mo anyway.
While Ye Mo was stealing the Star Map, the One Ard Butcher returned. His expression imdiately shifted as he roared furiously.
“Bastard! Soone dares to steal my Star Map? I must turn you into ashes!” shouted the One Ard Butcher. His voice was forceful, causing the mountains in the area to start crumbling. Then, he turned into an illusion as he sped off.
“Not even that Fei Long can so easily enter my headquarters. My two grand elders and deputy chiefs are all extraordinarily powerful and will be more than a match for even a Spirit Devour Realm powerhouse.” Just as he was in doubt, he glanced to the distance and saw nurous brightly lit bonfires. Nurous tents could be seen as well with soldiers patrolling everywhere.
“It’s the Chen Clan Army? Has Chen Yihan personally made an appearance? Impossible. With his arrogance, he would never act personally against us bandits.” A savage glint surfaced on One Ard Butcher’s eyes as a golden saber appeared in his left hand. He then waved his saber in the direction of the army.
Cling! Cling! Cling!
Suddenly, a clinking sound rang. Chen Yanzhi who was sleeping lightly imdiately opened her eyes. A trace of panic appeared on her face. The golden saber shone brightly, brightening up the entire expanse of sky. The sky was covered with nurous saber images. The energy strings arranged in the air were all cut through as the saber images rained down upon the Chen Clan Army.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” Shouted one of them. Then in squads of a hundred soldiers each, the Chen Clan Army started activating their formations to block the incoming attack.
Yanzhi tore her tent apart and flew out. With a look of vigilance, she stared at One Ard Butcher.
“So you’re One Ard Butcher?” Yanzhi’s expression turned solemn the mont she saw that this person only had one hand holding a golden saber.
“Your Chen Clan Army’s intelligence reports are pretty good, eh? You have actually selected the ti when I am away to attack us. Die, all of you!” He imdiately slashed his saber at Yanzhi. The saber shone brightly and whizzed through the air in an extrely imposing manner.
The Lightning Bird hissed repeatedly as it moved as fast as lightning and dodged the attack.
“Formation, Clear Sky Hamr!” After avoiding the attack, Chen Yanzhi shouted out her command to the Chen Clan Army.
“Hah!” The one thousand Chen Clan Army started brandishing their spears repeatedly. Next, the air started trembling as a huge formation took form. Then a huge Clear Sky Hamr appeared from the formation that was sent slamming down towards the One Ard Butcher.
Alard, the One Ard Butcher turned and shouted before swinging his saber towards the incoming Clear Sky Hamr.
Clang!
The saber and the hamr collided, creating a huge spark. Ear piercing clanging sounds rang out repeatedly before the One Ard Butcher was sent flying backward. He was only able to regain his footing after about 100 ters.
“One Ard Butcher, no matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to defeat the formation of 1,000 soldiers. Since you dare co alone, I shall slay you right here. So long as you are dead, the Northwest Bandits will crumble by themselves,” Chen Yanzhi said as she controlled the Lightning Bird to hover above the Chen Clan Army. Once again, she issued a command, “Formation, All-encompassing Net!”
“Haha. Formation? It is indeed powerful. But do you think you can take down with just this?” Looking at the huge net on the sky, the One Ard Butcher roared with laughter. “Today, let offer sacrifices to my saber with the lives of your Chen Clan Army. As for you, you are probably the renowned genius strategist, Chen Yanzhi, right? You do look good. I will capture you and make you my wife!” Then, he waved his hand and sent a huge saber image flying out. With seemingly unstoppable montum, the saber slashed the net into two before landing on the Chen Clan Army.
Instantly, the expressions of the Chen Clan Army shifted. Chen Yanzhi’s expression turned unsightly as well. She had never expected that the formation of 1,000 soldiers would actually be so useless before the One Ard Butcher.
Bang!
When the saber image landed, nearly half the Chen Clan Army was killed by this one attack. A crevice of over 30 ters long that was as wide as an arm was left on the ground as well. Miserable screams started resounding all over as the battlefield transford into a bloody hell with corpses everywhere.
“No!” Chen Yanzhi roared as she saw this sight. Staring at the One Ard Butcher, her eyes turned bloodshot with tears forming in her eyes.
“Haha, Chen Yanzhi, are you feeling sad looking at the deaths of your subordinates? With another wave, all of them will perish here!” At this mont, the One Ard Butcher had completely forgotten that his Star Map had been stolen. He was completely engrossed in the feeling of slaughter.
“You dare?” Chen Yanzhi shouted. Next, the Lightning Bird opened its mouth to send a bolt of lightning towards the One Ard Butcher. The One Ard Butcher only needed to casually wave his hand to cut the lightning bolt into two.
“Why won’t I dare? You should know. With half your soldiers lost, you are no longer my match. A casual wave of my saber is enough to kill all of them.” A cruel smile ford on the One Ard Butcher’s face as he continued. “Of course, if you want to preserve their lives, you can obediently co to and be my hostage. I am willing to let them off if you do so.”
“Dream on!” Yanzhi shouted.
If she submitted, it would be the greatest insult to the Chen Clan Army. Moreover, with her as a hostage, it would be much harder for the Chen Clan Army to deal with the Northwest Bandits.
“Well, you leave no choice.” The saber in his hand started humming. The sound was akin to a symphony of death. He was betting that Chen Yanzhi would willingly surrender. The best she was riding was the Lightning Bird, an extrely fast beast. If Chen Yanzhi truly wanted to escape, he would not be able to capture her.
And so long as he had Chen Yanzhi as a hostage, even if Chen Yihan was to personally co, he would have sothing to fall back on.
