Chapter 455: A Split Consciousness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Yiming looked at the city without its ruler, then at the forbidden death zone in another direction.
“A foothold, a land full of resources, and a stronger cultivation environment… Isn’t this the ideal new planet humans had in mind before setting off from the blue planet?”
“Other than the fact that the average cultivation level is higher. Gods are everywhere, and adventurer teams are made up of people at the fusion realm and the inscription realm.”
For the human spaceships from the blue planet, the basic environment in the abandoned world was too harsh. Most of the humans from the blue planet who had not mastered the use of the internal force could not even survive here.
However, this was not a problem. Essence energy was like a miracle pill to the gods. It was something that needed to be fought over. To ordinary creatures who had not embarked on the path of cultivation, it was no different from an elixir.
With just a trace of essence energy, an ordinary person who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken would transform into a warrior with extraordinary strength and internal force.
At this thought, Chen Yiming communicated with the spiritual figure and explained the situation here at the meeting of the humans on the spaceship.
While Chen Yiming was in a daze, Heaven Suppressing City was in chaos.
It was not only because the person with twin pupils had fallen into the space-travel distortion and disappeared, but also because the city ruler had been forced to leave and go to the rescue. It was unknown how long it would take for him to return.
Coincidentally, there was another powerful god in the city who was at the same level as the city ruler and belonged to the factions behind the source ore shops. The situation between the two opposing sides was instantly reversed.
Now that three of the source ore shops had been destroyed and the teams from the four source ore shops had been forced to escape, if they did not take revenge now, when would they?
Therefore, almost as soon as the city ruler disappeared from sight, smoke rose from the city, and the city was in chaos.
Gao Shuai smiled and said, “It seems that everyone thinks that the treasure vault of the city ruler’s faction is hidden in some underground space in the city. They don’t know that the city ruler was already prepared for such a situation.”
The silver-winged woman, the old butler, and the bull-headed bodyguards all revealed looks of joy. The better the treasure vault was hidden, the better it was for them. They would not even have a single competitor looking for the real treasure vault.
Chen Yiming came back to his senses. He couldn’t help but think that if the reward met his expectations, Heaven Suppressing City would be a good place for the human spaceship fleet from the blue planet to settle down. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
If Heaven Suppressing City was severely damaged, so be it. It was a good opportunity to erase the original city so that the humans from the blue planet could rebuild their new home in the ruins.
Soon, it was time to take action.
Gao Shuai turned around and walked onto the stone bridge. He only stopped when he was in the middle.
On the stone railings on both sides of the stone bridge, balls appeared every few meters. On the surface of the balls, there was a crescent moon and a blazing sun engraved on each side.
The direction of the scorching sun symbol was facing Heaven Suppressing City.
Heaven Suppressing City could suppress the sun, moon, and stars. This was the history of the Heaven Suppressing City. The crescent moon and blazing sun highlighted Li Zhentian’s reputation.
At the same time, although the location of the stone bridge was not specified, it was tacitly agreed that one would pass through it to enter and exit the territory of Heaven Suppressing City.
Then, Gao Shuai started to fiddle with the two balls in the middle of the bridge. He turned them so that the positions of the sun and moon were facing each other. Furthermore, the order was also very particular, from sun to moon.
“Uh… Who would have thought that the stone bridge that represents the entry point into the territory of the Heaven Suppressing City is actually the key to entering the treasure vault?”
Everyone was a little surprised and admired the city ruler’s boldness.
Gao Shuai adjusted the position of the first pair of balls and continued walking. Along the way, he adjusted the balls according to the direction of the first two.
Then, he turned back and fiddled with the balls on the other side of the bridge.
As the last ball was rotated, one could clearly hear a creaking sound coming from somewhere within the stone bridge. The water below the bridge shook.
“Splash!”
Gao Shuai was the first to jump off the stone bridge. The others followed without hesitation. Ripples appeared on the surface of the water, then it gradually returned to its calm state.
Underwater, it was dark. The distance from the surface of the water was not large, but the depth was extraordinary. It was like a crack leading deep underground.
The group quickly dived down and saw many traces left behind by others on the rock walls along the way. It was clear that it was not that no one had been here before. It was just that the mechanism on the stone bridge had not been triggered and they had returned empty-handed.
Not long after.
A white dot appeared in their vision. The group suppressed their excitement and tried their best to reduce the commotion as they quickly sneaked towards the white dot. The white dot had undoubtedly appeared after the stone bridge switch was activated.
…
“So it’s an alternate space created deep underwater.”
The group arrived in front of the white light. Through the white light, they could vaguely see that there was an endless amount of seawater in the otherworld, and waves were rising into the sky.
Gao Shuai said in surprise, “I didn’t expect the city ruler to have such a divine item hidden away. The special marine environment in this alternate space can naturally prevent the perception of source ore masters from finding the location of the source ores.”
The old butler beside him replied excitedly, “Young Master, with this divine item, the pressure behind setting up some killing formations that require a large amount of source ores can be greatly decreased.”
Gao Shuai’s strength was not in a head-on battle, but sometimes, battles were still inevitable. It was impossible for a killing formation that was powerful enough to kill a god to be set up out of thin air.
However, sometimes, if a person carried too many source ores, it would become a disaster.
Among the source ore masters, there were also many people with ill intentions who specially targeted the adventurers who entered and exited the restricted areas.
“Unfortunately, it isn’t compatible with the talents I have added.”
Seeing this, Chen Yiming couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. He had never considered any talents related to array formations.
Therefore, he did not need to store the source ores. The essence energy represented the Skill Points in the system. There was nothing more reassuring than having it saved in the system.
However, seeing the interest in Gao Shuai’s eyes, his mood improved again.
The 50-50 split wasn’t just for the source ores. Since Gao Shuai was interested in this spatial item, Chen Yiming was already thinking about how to get Gao Shuai to give up a portion of the source ores in exchange for it.
Coincidentally, the silver-winged woman was also by his side. He was not afraid that he would be tricked by Gao Shuai, who knew about his background. In fact, with the rarity of this spatial item, he had to exchange it for source ores of an equivalent value.
At this moment, a bull-headed man stepped forward, preparing to scout the way for their young master.
Gao Shuai reacted quickly and pulled the bull-headed man back.
The strength of the bull-headed men was considered outstanding among those of the same level, but it was actually easily held back by Gao Shuai, as if it had not taken much effort.
It was clear that when Gao Shuai had said that he had to build a strong foundation before he could condense the inner world and break through to the level of a god, he was not just making excuses.
Once he obtained the blood of the true dragon to cleanse his body, the height of his potential in the future would not be something that could be compared to his current level.
After pulling the bull-headed man back, Gao Shuai reminded everyone, “It’s very likely that a split consciousness created by the city ruler of Heaven Suppressing City exists in this alternate space.”
The silver-winged woman frowned and said, “It’s just a split consciousness. Can it turn the tables on us?”
Chen Yiming nodded in agreement with the silver-winged woman.
Unless the split consciousness turned into a special life form like the sword spirit formed by the spiritual figure, it would just be a creature that had no source to draw on. It was basically a one-time use item.
Furthermore, compared to the true city ruler, his split consciousness would be much weaker. He had never seen other creatures like the spiritual figure.
Gao Shuai quickly explained, “What I mean is that if there’s a split consciousness of the city ruler, I’ll be in charge of isolating it from this spatial item to prevent it from consuming a large number of source ores.”
Even at the level of the city ruler, a split consciousness was not something that everyone was afraid of.
However, if the other party consumed a large amount of energy, the source ores stored in the spatial item would indeed be used up. Every little bit of time they wasted meant that they would lose some of their loot.
Chen Yiming said calmly, “In that case, I’ll defeat the other party immediately.”
He decided in his heart that even if the other party had a finishing move like the twin pupils, which controlled the natural laws as a weapon, he would still forcefully destroy the split consciousness.
In any case, as long as he was not instantly killed, there was no way to stop his rapid recovery. It was very difficult to kill him.
Soon, the distribution was made clear. Chen Yiming was the first to enter the alternate space inside the white light. Gao Shuai was the second to enter. After that, it was the silver-winged woman, the old butler, and the bull-headed men.
…
“Hehe! A 10% success rate. I didn’t expect you to be able to trick people for so many years and only have the truth about your prophecy ability revealed now.”
“However, if the clans that you tricked find out about the truth, do you think they will risk their lives to settle the score with you?”
“In addition to the other factions that you have more or less tricked, could it be that you are relying on this kid to protect you?”
As soon as Chen Yiming appeared on the surface of the sea, a voice rang out.
The split consciousness of the city ruler descended from the sky. He was tall and his black hair draped over his shoulders. His eyes were bright, and he looked both handsome and carefree. On the surface, he looked like a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura.
If he did not know that the other party was a powerful elder who had cultivated for countless years, he would have been deceived by his appearance.
Gao Shuai had a serious expression on his face. He squatted down and placed his palms on the surface of the sea.
Golden threads appeared from the center of his fingers one after another. In the blink of an eye, they quickly spread out in all directions and reached deep into the sea.
“Kill!”
Chen Yiming attacked almost instantly.
However, the other party seemed to have expected this. Li Zhentian’s split consciousness was not shocked. Instead, he waved his sleeve, and a hurricane wreaked havoc, causing waves to surge into the sky.
Water pillars soared into the sky one after another, turning into a water prison that instantly sealed Chen Yiming’s figure. At the same time, there was a vortex wreaking havoc in the water prison, unleashing a powerful suction force.
In addition, the sea seemed to be enraged. After sealing Chen Yiming, the water prison continued to expand, as if it had unlimited power.
“Is this still the Water Prison Technique?”
The Water Prison Technique was a water-based technique. Once one was trapped, it was extremely difficult to escape. The suction power of the vortex would continuously stack up, but it was unbelievable that it could reach such a level with just a wave of his sleeve.
In fact, in his perception, it was no longer just the Water Prison Technique. It also carried a portion of the power of space. This way, with the fusion of the two attributes of space and water, the power of the technique would increase exponentially.
Chen Yiming naturally wouldn’t give his opponent a chance to trap him. He instantly used the space anchor to teleport out of the water prison. Then, he transformed into a giant and a huge palm descended, holding down the split consciousness of the city ruler.
“Bang!”
Without any hesitation, he clenched his fist.
“He got it!”
At the entrance of the white light, the old butler and the silver-winged woman smiled.
It was just a split consciousness. It was impossible for it to maintain the level of the main body. Otherwise, it would not have been controlled so easily.
At the same time, the Water Prison Technique instantly collapsed. Gao Shuai took the opportunity to fill the entire sea with golden threads, wanting to completely cut off the connection between Li Zhentian’s split consciousness and this spatial item.
However, just as everyone thought that the battle plan had succeeded,
The huge palm was pierced by the white light and melted in front of him in the blink of an eye. Chen Yiming retreated, and blood flowed from the wound on his wrist.
He was controlling the recovery speed of his wound, hoping to shock it. Otherwise, the wound would have healed in an instant.
At this moment, Li Zhentian’s split consciousness reappeared. His condition seemed to have worsened, and his body seemed to be a little unstable, as if he had used up a lot of energy.
Li Zhentian’s consciousness smiled and said, “Not bad, young man. No wonder my son Li Tengfei was carelessly trapped in the space-travel distortion.”
The person with twin pupils would definitely embark on the path to invincibility. Li Zhentian still thought so now. Their defeat this time was not truly a defeat, but falling into a trap.
In other words, the person with twin pupils had not fully displayed his strength. Due to the space-travel distortion, the battle had ended hastily.
In addition, in terms of cultivation, including at the level of the gods, those who had talent in the spiritual aspects would be more recognized.
For example, compared to factions of the same level, there were clearly many more people in this generation who had cultivated to the level of gods in the South Palace Clan which had the Heavenly Eye.
The Heavenly Eye had an outstanding effect on the cultivation of gods who had comprehended and mastered the natural laws, reducing the threshold and difficulty of cultivation.
For example, Gao Shuai’s prophecy talent was a branch of spiritual talent. Even though his cultivation level was only at the fusion realm, he was still considered an important force in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse.
It was not that one’s physical talent was not recognized. For example, a pure-blooded true dragon would cause a commotion in countless galaxies. However, the reality was that even the corpse of a true dragon was difficult for the many factions to find.
Most of the physical talents leaned towards the foundation and enhancement of one’s combat strength.
This included Chen Yiming himself. If his level didn’t increase, as his cultivation level increased, his physical talent would become weaker and weaker.
“Die!”
Chen Yiming roared angrily. At the same time, his figure blurred, and the entire sea was covered by the fist shadows.
From the fact that Li Zhentian’s consciousness had erupted with a power similar to that of the person with twin pupils and triggered a power that exceeded his control, he could only rely on this method to kill him indiscriminately.
This was the truth. In the end, it was only a split consciousness. On one hand, they needed to keep an eye on Chen Yiming, and on the other hand, Gao Shuai was secretly playing tricks on them. Their situation was worsening.
Gao Shuai’s heart tightened when he saw Li Zhentian’s consciousness putting up a desperate resistance. “Brother, be gentle. Don’t destroy the divine item along with it.
