Jiang Ming shuttled back and forth between the Specter Secret Realm and Chuyang Peak every day.
After more than ten days of work, he had almost finished visiting every corner of Specter Secret Realm, and the treasures that he reaped have long made Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng numb to it. Even by just picking the leftovers from the haul, the two of them were ecstatic.
Of course, there were even more experts of the foreign clans slaughtered. In total, Jiang Ming had killed almost 100 Cosmic Experts.
Zhao Changkong even presumed that Jiang Ming might have killed one third of the top experts of the universe by now.
It was simply incredible.
“Brother Jiang, you are making our Human Race an enemy of the entire universe.” Zhao Changkong smiled bitterly.
“Don’t worry! I will solve the troubles I caused myself!” Jiang Ming didn’t care.
He came to this world to plunder resources. How could he not cause trouble if he wanted to gain these benefits?
The treasures that he obtained throughout these days were far more than what he had in the past few decades. If he was to settle down after this, his strength would definitely improve even further.
On this day, they passed through the membrane and reached another space. As soon as they arrived, an overwhelmingly heavy suppressive pressure had caused Luo Heng to sway and fall.
“Such terrifying oppressive force!” Luo Heng was shocked. He felt extremely difficult to breathe. It was even difficult for him to stand up. It was as if there was a ten-thousand-feet high mountain pressing against his body, making it difficult to even take a single step.
“The oppressive force is really terrifying indeed.” Jiang Ming frowned. “Even a Star Sea expert wouldn’t be able to perform well here, let alone fly in such conditions. No! The Star Sea expertwouldn’t even be able to fly here. Brother Zhao, how can there be such a terrifying place?”
“This is…” Zhao Changkong rose into the air, but at an extremely slow speed. It took him two breaths to fly to a height of 100 meters, and his speed moving forward was still extremely slow. He investigated for a while before he returned to the ground.
On the other hand, Jiang Ming lifted his feet and was already 1,000 meters up in the air, looking in all directions.
The rivers and mountains there were vast, and the land was so enormous that it seemed to be borderless at sight. It felt as though the place was an actual world by itself. In the distance, there were ferocious beasts galloping on the ground, and there were also many experts who seemed to look like the martial artists of the mortal realm, tossing and turning, a funny sight to behold.
“It’s too unusual here.” Jiang Ming returned and asked again, “Brother Zhao, is there anything you can think of?”
“Legend has it that there is a core location within the Specter Secret Realm. This core does not appear every time the secret realm is opened, but once it does, there will definitely be a bloody killing spree, and the death rate will sky-rocket. In the core, the oppressive force is strong, and it is difficult for non-Cosmic Experts to cross the void. Even if the Cosmic Expert wants to pass through this space, he would need to spend at least 100 years to do so.” Zhao Changkong pondered, “It seems that based on the records, every time the core appears, there will inevitably be the emergence of a supreme great Dao vessel, either a set of top Cosmic Treasures, or a Supreme Treasure.”
“This should be the core of the Specter Secret Realm.” Zhao Changkong said with a wry smile. “Within the core, there are countless great opportunities that await. There will also be the emergence of many great treasures but accompanied with many great dangers. If a Star Sea Expert was to enter this place, his chance of survival is almost zero. Even a great number of the Cosmic Experts would die here. No, because the current surviving Cosmic Experts are all struck with terror from your killing spree, I’m afraid that they have long left the place.”
“If it is really the core of the secret realm, wouldn’t that mean that we’re getting rich?” Jiang Ming was very excited.
Luo Heng and Zhao Changkong looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They saw the core as a forbidden place. But in Jiang Ming’s eyes, it was a real treasure trove.
*Yin yin yin…*
A ringing chirp could be heard across the sky. A flying eagle could be seen soaring towards their direction. As its wings flapped, gusts of wind actually rolled up as it shot forwards at a terrifying speed. Its talons revealed, causing Zhao Changkong’s scalp to tingle in fear. “My speed is not as fast as this eagle in such a place.”
As Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed, the head of the flying eagle suddenly exploded before dissipating in plain sight. A crystal of origin that was the size of a human being fell from above.
“Incredible!” Zhao Changkong opened his mouth, but all he managed to do was give Jiang Ming a thumbs up.
That flying eagle just now clearly had the strength of a Cosmic level. In addition, to be able to dominate the air in such a place, its strength was not of the ordinary.
Zhao Changkong didn’t even have the confidence to go against such a beast. However, Jiang Ming was able to easily take it down.
“Brother Jiang, when will I be able to be as powerful as you?” Luo Heng was jealous.
“It won’t be long.” As Jiang Ming replied to him, he kept the divine crystal into his inner world. He then extended his consciousness into the surroundings but could only cover a radius of ten thousand miles.
He couldn’t believe that his consciousness, which was of the Saint level, only managed to cover such a distance. He then merged his consciousness with the Chaos World Tree, and expanded the coverage to twenty thousand miles.
It was enough already.
After all, Zhao Changkong would’ve been able to only cover a hundred miles radius with his consciousness. Luo Heng on the other hand, even walking by foot was a great feat to him. He could only rely on his own eyes here.
“So many great treasures!” Jiang Ming was overwhelmed with joy.
He discovered quite a number of treasures through his Saint consciousness. Some of them were under the layers of soil beneath while some only had sharp corners protruding into the surface. There were even treasures that were hidden within the trees and the rocks. All of these treasures were “growing” at an extremely slow pace, reaching outwards.
As Jiang Ming stretched his hands and grabbed on, pieces of divine crystals as well as rare Cosmic level ores and wonders could be seen flying over towards them.
Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng had long been numbed from such a scene. This was because Jiang Ming did the same thing in the past. Wherever he went, almost no stones were left unturned.
While Jiang Ming was collecting these items, he distributed some of them to the two from time to time. Most of these are of course Dao vessels.
They went about while taking frequent stops to collect treasures and continued their journey. Soon, they came across a valley in front of them. Waves of deafening roars that shook the sky could be heard from inside the valley.
“Brother Jiang, why do I get the feeling that something is wrong?” Zhao Changkong suddenly stopped. “I feel as though it was a dragon’s lair or a lion’s den in front of me. It seems that there are grave dangers ahead.”
“That’s because there’s a herd of cows hidden ahead.” Jiang Ming explained. “There’s a total of 360 cows, where 345 of them are of the Star Sea level, 15 Cosmic level and their Bull King is an existence equivalent to the pinnacle stage of the Cosmic level.”
“God damn it! Isn’t that terrifying?” Zhao Changkong was shocked.
Luo Heng was surprised again.
Jiang Ming nodded and said inexplicably, “Logically there should not be so many terrifying creatures gathered together. Under such a circumstance, even Long Jingang would not be able to return alive.”
“Perhaps this is the horror of the land of core.” Zhao Changkong said, “Also, perhaps there are treasures hidden inside.”
“There are treasures for sure. Let’s go and have a look.” Jiang Ming walked forward. “It’s just a herd of cows. However, it’s such a pity that they will dissipate after being killed. I wonder what they would taste like?”
Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng were rendered speechless yet again.
“Actually, what piqued my curiosity even more is that such a terrifying existence that is at the pinnacle stage of the Cosmic level can be conjured here. This is unbelievable” Jiang Ming said again.
“This is a miracle of the universe.” Zhao Changkong lamented.
Jiang Ming was not the only one who was curious, but so were all the experts of the universe. The Specter Secret Realm was just too amazing. It was said to be conjured from the origin of the universe. However, there was never any evidence, but mere speculations.
As of now, it was impossible to determine whether such remarks were true.
Soon after, Jiang Ming had already reached the entrance of the valley. All of the bulls that were inside perched up and looked over at his direction.
