Chapter 791: A Rainbow Light Appears
Blue Glaze Region, Sky race encampment.
"We've arrived." Sajee adjusted his attire and confidently entered the encampment.
The relentless battles in the wilderness hadn't dampened his spirits. He still looked as dashing as ever.
But his four teammates trailed behind, looking worn-out and pale.
Crossing through the wilderness!
They had already battled numerous members of the Dark race and fierce beasts along the way...
They couldn't fathom how they had survived!
But now, they could finally catch their breath.
"Ah, we're the sixth to arrive?" Sajee was slightly surprised, but he shrugged it off with a smile.
"Three to the north and two to the west?"
After reading the message, Sindy said, "Liang Tianyue and Lan Scarlet are both on the west side. There's one spot left. Let's head west too. Leading the team gives us a better chance of completing the mission."
"No." Sajee shook his head with a smile. "Let's go east."
His teammates looked puzzled.
Sindy hesitated. "But according to the information, the chance of encountering the Dark race in the east is the lowest. The Windstorm Realm not only has a large number of high-dimensional wind element creatures but it's also close to the Dark race's encampment. It's extremely dangerous."
"That's exactly why it's the best choice," Sajee said, tossing his golden hair. "Forget about the mission details. We'll head straight into where the Dark race is most concentrated and start the fight."
"As long as we kill enough Dark race members, we can still come out on top."
"Let's go." Sajee exuded confidence, unfazed by the challenges ahead.
But his teammates looked pale, their legs trembling.
They hadn't even had a chance to rest!
And now, they were going into battle again?
...
Nether Volcano.
"We're finally here," Wang Ye felt the intense heat.
The landscape was dominated by surging flames, creating a spectacular sight.
It was as if countless volcanoes were erupting simultaneously.
Even the ground was pulsating with fiery elemental energy, welcoming their arrival.
"Sajee and the others have surpassed us!" An Lingwu gritted her teeth.
"It's alright." Wang Ye reassured her.
They were still among the top three.
Although they were slightly behind Sajee, they were ahead of Ere.
"Given Sajee's nature, he would undoubtedly choose the east side," Master Qingning said. "By passing through the Blue Glazed Wind Cave and entering the Windstorm Realm, they'll be close to the Dark race's encampment. Eventually, they might take the risk and attempt to kill a high-level High Dimension Lord of the Dark race to gain a substantial amount of Sky merit points."
Wang Ye nodded.
A high-level High Dimension Lord could yield up to 5000 heavenly merit points.
Though challenging to defeat, the rewards were significant.
If anyone in the sixth battle team could accomplish this feat...
It was only Sajee and Hazel.
Especially Sajee, who had a track record of slaying a Sovereign Venerate!
"It's okay. We'll win through sheer numbers." Wang Ye smiled at Master Qingning.
With Senior Sister around, would we still worry about not earning enough Sky merit through slaughter?
In addition to the mission rewards, we could easily compete with Sajee.
Our biggest competitor wasn't Sajee, but Ere.
In the Secret Treasure Realm, where they both sought the Dark race, whoever had a higher completion rate gained the lead advantage.
With their geographical advantage and her proficiency in high-dimensional battlefield tasks, Ere's combat prowess was impressive.
She was quite a formidable opponent.
Her group of future subordinates all had their strengths
Senior Sister Ming Deng led the way!
Master Qingning was expressionless, she was calm.
They passed through the Nether Volcano!
Though the center was dangerous, it was the shortest path.
At least one of the two teams ahead would surely take this path!
The more dangerous it was, the safer it seemed!
"Crackle!" Behind them, Xiao Gang began to transform, baring his teeth.
An Lingwu floated in the air, exclaiming in surprise.
Looking at Wang Ye, she admired him.
Was he the Master God-Diviner?
He had just talked about winning by quantity, and now, quantity appeared!
Countless Fire Ray Bees flew out from nowhere, densely packed together!
The flames burning on its body enveloped the sky, turning it fiery red.
The long and sharp fire poison needle behind them shone brightly under the fiery light.
"Let's make a small profit first." Wang Ye laughed as he attacked.
Master Qingning and Shui Jing activated their AoE mode, blasting ice rings and freezing the battlefield.
The shield, Xiao Gang, roared and charged forward, wielding his huge battle sword!
With a buzzing sound, he instantly swelled up like a pig's head!
Harvest!
Wang Ye's Spacetime Burying River enveloped the battlefield.
Spreading his wings, he controlled spacetime and executed the Spacetime Wing Blade Slash quickly!
The fourth form, Aurora Thousand Blades!
Indiscriminate killing!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! With the terrifying power of a dragon bright thunder burst, and Wang Ye quickly slew his enemies.
He liked this special high-dimensional life form!
It was even easier to kill than fierce beasts!
Other than having a lot of innate energy, he had no other strengths!
What a coincidence, he lacked everything now, but he did not lack innate energy!
Thank you Demon Venerable Meng Qi for your gift!
Boom!
In one battle, he gained another million evolution points.
Even if the Sky merit points were only twice the coefficient, it was still easily over 1,000.
He overtook Sajee and returned to second place, closing the gap with Ere's team.
Almost no injuries.
Except for Xiao Gang, who had swelled up like a pig's head.
It was okay. This guy had strong vitality, so there was no need to waste his potions.
Let's keep moving forward!
They continued to slay three groups of enemies!
An Lingwu was puzzled.
Were they not the first team to enter the Nether Volcano?
How was Wang Ye sure that Ere and Xia Ludi hadn't taken any shortcuts?
Wasn't the frequency of encountering enemies too high?
"Do you think we should change our route?" Master Qingning looked at Wang Ye.
"You decide, I'm flexible." Wang Ye smiled.
Master Qingning said, "How about we change another path to explore?"
"Sure." Wang Ye didn't mind.
"Senior Sister, you don't think that changing routes will bring us luck, right?" Wang Ye thought.
Boom!
Three huge Fire Spirit Giants blocked their path.
They exuded an aura of dominance as if they owned the road.
Their flesh and flames were perfectly fused, with clearly defined muscle lines.
The origin of fire flowed within them, brimming with strength and majesty.
Master Qingning sighed silently.
Just as she was about to step forward and face them, she heard her junior brother's voice.
"I'll handle this." Wang Ye's thin figure gave her an inexplicable sense of reassurance and reliability.
Master Qingning was moved.
She had always been alone.
She didn't have companions, and she didn't want any, fearing that her bad luck would rub off on others.
As long as she was the one suffering, it was fine. She didn't want to harm others.
Only Junior Brother, he had never minded, and he trusted her immensely.
He had always silently accompanied her, supporting each other.
Unbeknownst to her, he had occupied a special place in her heart.
Perhaps, he was her savior.
The presence of destiny.
...
Rumble!
The Fire Spirit Giants shattered and returned to their homeland.
The flames of the Nether Volcano surged even more, with immensely powerful innate energy.
Wang Ye floated in the air, lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Master Qingning appeared behind him.
"The behavior of these fire elemental creatures seems strange," Wang Ye remarked.
"Isn't it similar to the high-dimensional water elemental creatures we encountered before?" An Lingwu questioned.
"It's different," Wang Ye shook his head. "They give me a sense of panic and fear as if they've been provoked by something. But the high-dimensional water elemental creatures just became more aggressive."
"Could it be related to the ancient high-dimensional races in the Secret Treasure Realm?" Master Qingning pondered.
"It's possible," Wang Ye responded. "The predecessor of the third realm was the Elemental Star. These innate-born high-dimensional elemental lifeforms were once controlled by the spiritual race of the third realm."
"You mean... Is this ancient gem treasure related to the extinct Spirit race?"
"They weren't exterminated," An Lingwu clarified. "There should still be traces of the Spirit race, right?"
"In the third realm?" Wang Ye was surprised.
How come he had never heard of this before?
"No," An Lingwu shook her head. "I heard my sister mention it in passing. Although the War of the Divine Spirits caused the extinction of many high-dimensional races, the opening of the only passage allowed these races to escape the high-dimensional cosmic and leave behind their bloodlines to reproduce."
"Oh?" Wang Ye realized. "So they settled in the Primitive Cosmic Sea."
Another wave of seemingly useless knowledge.
As expected, he still didn't know enough.
However, compared to the human cosmic, where only the Sky and Dark races were known to dominate the high-dimensional cosmic, now he could undoubtedly see further.
Perhaps, one day when he became a superior-grade Sky race...
There would be no more secrets in the high-dimensional cosmic.
...
He continued forward!
Even though Senior Sister Ming Deng was radiant, the Nether Volcano had been cleared twice already.
The previous two battle teams had somewhat lightened Senior Sister Ming Deng's burden.
Even if Wang Ye wanted to earn more evolution points and materials, he didn't have any extra fire elemental high-dimensional lifeforms.
They made it through successfully!
They no longer felt the scorching heat.
The distinctive environment of the Nether Volcano was still vivid in his memory.
Entering the main quest line!
Ahead lay an area of chaotic spacetime.
The secret realms had evolved over countless epochs, forming unique regions that intersected with each other.
It resembled a vast maze, incredibly three-dimensional.
Legend had it that countless treasures were buried there, and even ancient high-dimensional races dwelled within.
This was the Secret Treasure Realm.
Ahead of him, the scene unfolded like a clear picture scroll.
Filled with mysterious discoveries.
Wang Ye's attention turned to the battle team badge.
[1] Team No. 4: 10100 Sky merit points (North)
[2] Team No. 6: 8300 Sky merit points (North)
[3] Team No. 2: 7200 Sky merit points (East).
...
They firmly held the second position.
After the slaughter at the Nether Volcano, the gap between them and Sajee had widened, and they had caught up to Ere.
The difference was less than 2000 Sky merit points.
But in reality, he had the advantage.
Because they were a whopping 6000 Sky merit points ahead of Ere in the first treasure-hunting mission!
Next, it was up to each of them to rely on their abilities.
They wanted to see who could gather more mission information, discover the whereabouts of the Dark race in the Bright Black Eerie Swamp earlier, or even eliminate them!
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat.
He looked at the distant horizon in astonishment. A beautiful rainbow light appeared.
After being refracted by countless spacetime secret realms, it materialized before his eyes like a mirage!
It wasn't just any rainbow, it resembled fireworks.
Bright and dazzling, it vanished in the blink of an eye.
What was this?
Wang Ye glanced at Master Qingning beside him, whose eyes were also shimmering.
Whoever claimed that Senior Sister Ming Deng had bad luck?
Wasn't this the pinnacle of fortune?
As soon as they entered the Secret Treasure Realm, they stumbled upon traces of this unusual rainbow light!
"Let's go!" Wang Ye exclaimed, swiftly charging forward.
