Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7481

Chapter 7395, Number One

Urged on by Xiao Jiu, Li Tianming ventured even deeper into the area densely packed with Divine Treasure Stones.

Only then did he almost see the entirety of the No. 1 Divine Treasure Mine.

At this moment, Li Tianming and the others could see that the densest area beneath the real universe, almost entirely populated by Divine Treasure Stones, was buried deep within endless nebulae.

The entire star field was vast, but it appeared dim due to the Divine Treasure Stones; this was a region completely independent of ordinary cosmic space.

This precious Divine Treasure Stone resource, being mined for a national treasure, had countless layers of Dao arrays on its surface, resembling an almost unbelievably large eggshell.

Inside the eggshell, the first layer was a vast protective layer guarded by the Divine Treasure Army and surrounded by numerous star clusters.

These Divine Treasure Army soldiers, densely packed and solemn, were the guardians of the wealth belonging to the Qianfeng Eternal Empire.

Furthermore, within these countless layers of Dao arrays, the Divine Treasure Army’s protection, and the vast star field lay the true ‘yolk’ area—

the most precious part .

That was the deepest part of the darkest, most densely packed Divine Treasure Stone vein!

Although it looked somewhat oppressive, it was precisely this place that was the most valuable location in the entire Divine Treasure Mine!

However, because of the excessive density of Divine Treasure Stones, this area also lost some of the cosmic ray refraction, thus adding to the heavy atmosphere.

At this moment, seeing this scene, Sui Shenyao exclaimed in shock, “So many Divine Treasure Stones! The reserves of Divine Treasure Stones in the Divine Treasure Star System are far inferior to those here. I can’t imagine how terrifyingly powerful Xiao Jiu would become if he devoured all of these!”

This was also what Li Tianming was looking forward to, his gaze burning as he looked into the distance.

“One day, Xiao Jiu will be able to devour all the Divine Treasure Stones in this Tianzang Province, but definitely not now. We have to eat one bite at a time!” Li Tianming was determined.

Between the core area of the Divine Treasure Stone vein and the outer Dao array, what shocked Li Tianming and the others even more was the densely packed, seemingly endless army of Divine Treasure Stones!

Because of their sheer number and the vast distance Li Tianming could see, he could only perceive their sheer numbers, easily overlooking their true strength.

“There are just too many! This is a massive, fully-fledged army! In fact… this army is only a portion of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire’s forces, specifically created to protect the Tianzang Province. How many troops does the entire Qianfeng Eternal Empire possess?” Li Tianming’s eyes widened slightly. “Truly worthy of the name ‘Empire,’ it’s terrifying!”

If it were merely a matter of numbers, it wouldn’t have shocked Li Tianming so much.

The most important thing was the sheer strength of the soldiers.

Even light-year-level soldiers weren’t uncommon in Li Tianming’s rough observation!

The elites of the Xiangtian Emperor Sect seemed utterly ordinary here, even somewhat weak.

These Divine Treasure Army soldiers, each with a solemn expression and formidable strength, guarded various locations within the No. 1 Divine Treasure Mine.

They included soldiers of various races, many of which Li Tianming had never seen before.

This massive mineral vein is completely sealed off in all directions, effectively eliminating any possibility of malicious intent.

Furthermore, within the vein’s perimeter, there are countless image spheres, almost as numerous as the Dao Clouds themselves.

The existence of these image spheres means that anyone approaching the Divine Treasure Mine might be recorded, potentially attracting the attention of the Divine Treasure Army even before reaching it!

However, even with the Divine Treasure Army’s tight security, preventing even a speck of stardust from entering, Li Tianming wasn’t particularly worried about getting in.

After all, as a member of the Stealing Clan, born to steal, there was no dangerous place he couldn’t reach.

Even so, Li Tianming still needed to plan his route rather than simply rushing in recklessly.

However, just as Li Tianming, in a state of ethereal cosmic awareness, temporarily stopped not far from the No. 1 Divine Treasure Mine,

*whoosh!

* Suddenly!

A dark shadow flashed past Li Tianming without any warning.

Xiao Jiu’s body, which was in the Guanzizai Realm, suddenly shot out from its companion space, seemingly heading straight for the Divine Treasure Mine.

Its enormous size was only noticeable in the Guanzizai Realm; otherwise, it would have certainly attracted the attention of the Divine Treasure Army.

“Xiao Jiu, wait! Don’t go out yet!” Li Tianming was startled and quickly called out to it upon seeing this sudden turn of events.

Xiao Jiu’s black mist body instantly stopped, slowly turning back slightly, and said calmly to Li Tianming, “What? Don’t disturb my meal. I’ve arrived.”

“Are you kidding me? You want to go by yourself? How are you going to get there?” Li Tianming suddenly frowned and asked repeatedly, “Are you out of your mind?”

“Who can take my life? Mind your own business, go back yourself!” Xiao Jiu’s body surged, seemingly about to continue forward.

“Don’t get cocky. This place is different from where we were before. We all care about you and are worried about you, that’s why we don’t want you to take any risks.” Li Tianming pointed to a certain spot in the distance and continued to advise, “Look, even the Divine Treasure Army patrolling around this mine has several cultivators with cultivation levels of hundreds of light-years. This means that the true powerhouses within the Divine Treasure Army are probably even more unimaginable. Can you handle such enemies? If something really happens, you won’t be facing just one powerful individual, but the entire Divine Treasure Army!”

At this moment, Xiao Jiu stopped in its tracks, no longer moving forward, but falling silent.

However, at this moment, it only had a black mist body, and no one knew what it was thinking.

In reality, Xiao Jiu couldn’t sneak in quietly within such a tight defense line alone; it would most likely alert the Divine Treasure Army.

The Divine Treasure Army might not allow Xiao Jiu to settle down like the Heavenly Emperor Sect did. Moreover, it wasn’t just settling down now; it wanted to absorb the Divine Treasure Stones they were guarding!

Within this mine, the Divine Treasure Army patrolling outside is hundreds of light-years away. Li Tianming couldn’t even begin to guess how powerful the experts stationed at the entire No. 1 Divine Treasure Mine, or even the entire Tianzang Province, truly were.

Seeing Xiao Jiu hesitate, Li Tianming pressed his advantage, saying, “For us, this Divine Treasure Stone mine is fraught with danger. Going in rashly like this is definitely not a good idea. Even if you absorb the Divine Treasure Stones from the Divine Treasure Star System and your strength increases significantly, you still haven’t broken through the hundred-light-year level. You’re no match for them.” “I’ll just eat a couple of bites, then I’ll be in the right,” Xiao Jiu retorted, somewhat unconvinced.
