Chapter 720: The Failed Nothingness Chaos |
Three thousand Dominators stood on Jiang Town’s array walls, gazing into the distance.
"Has the Nothingness Chaos begun?"
Yu Hu was already sharpening his blade, but he had been at it for a long time and still saw no sign of the disturbance arriving.
He couldn’t help but look toward Jiang Town’s mayor.
Jiang Tieniu also stared at the distance with a puzzled expression, then took out a communicator again to query an acquaintance.
"Old Qi, how are things over there?" Jiang Tieniu sent a message.
"It’s rough, it feels like this Nothingness Chaos is tougher than before! Can you hold on over there?"
"Just barely, keep it up!"
"Keep it up!" Old Qi answered firmly.
"What on earth is going on?" Jiang Tieniu couldn’t help but demand.
This was naturally because Su Yuan had intervened and taken away many of the Heaven Slaves from the Nothingness Chaos.
However, Su Yuan realized his collection method was too concentrated, so he used his Mental Dominator as a pivot to continually scatter his looting of Heaven Slaves. The situation here would soon return to normal.
"They’re coming!"
Someone said nervously.
Jiang Tieniu’s spirits rose. This unknown development actually made him uneasy before, but now that the Nothingness Chaos had truly arrived, he felt relieved.
In the distance, a group of Heaven Slaves were rushing over, numbering just over one thousand.
That number was actually less than the town’s defenders.
Seeing this, Jiang Tieniu calmly ordered, "Everyone, pay attention, let them get closer before killing!"
"Yes!"
When the Heaven Slaves approached the town, everyone finally struck. Countless attacks landed on the Heaven Slaves.
Some Heaven Slaves dissolved and vanished outright after being hit. This was not true death; Heaven Slaves could resurrect and return to attack again.
This was the disgusting aspect of the Nothingness Chaos: Heaven Slaves could not be killed permanently, they could revive at any time, and every place would face wave after wave of assaults until the city fell and the people perished.
One of Su Yuan’s Avatars was also watching the town’s defenses.
"So others can’t permanently kill Heaven Slaves after all!" Su Yuan mused. "I possess the Fame Great Dao, and the Power of Fame seems capable of completely resolving and refining Heaven Slaves. That’s the effect of the Fame Great Dao! If my True Name Great Dao is forty-nine Dao foundation, and the False Name Great Dao likewise, then the merged Fame Great Dao is the true, perfect fifty-Dao foundation, with many profound subtleties!"
Many things Su Yuan took for granted were actually abnormal.
Just like his pill refining—his refining results were an order of magnitude better than others. Perhaps the medicinal power was also something the Dominator of Force could manipulate.
Su Yuan’s figure appeared within the Nothingness across various points of the First Frontline, continuously hunting one Heaven Slave after another. He did not appear in front of people, nor within the guarded zones of major powers and gangs; he targeted Heaven Slaves specifically.
The total number of Heaven Slaves within the entire First Frontline visibly decreased.
Jiang Tieniu led the townsfolk to deal with that batch of Heaven Slaves, suffering only three casualties among the townsfolk, a resounding victory.
He waited a long time but saw no second wave, so he again asked his acquaintance about the situation.
"Old Qi, how are things over there?"
"Haha, I take back what I said earlier. This Nothingness Chaos seems much easier this time. The third wave had six thousand, but the fourth wave only five thousand. The numbers seem to be dropping! I asked others and it’s similar. Tieniu, what about your side?"
At that moment Jiang Tieniu sensed enemies arriving.
Looking up, a group of Heaven Slaves, only around eleven hundred left, were approaching.
Jiang Tieniu couldn’t help but message, "Our numbers are dropping too, and their strength is a bit lower than before. Also, don’t call me Tieniu!"
"Haha, got it, Tieniu. When this Nothingness Chaos ends, come over and we’ll drink!"
Old Qi sounded very pleased and even had the leisure to joke with Jiang Tieniu.
This wave Jiang Tieniu didn’t even need to lift a hand; the townsfolk handled all the Heaven Slaves on their own without a single casualty.
Some time passed.
The third wave of Heaven Slaves attacked, the number dropping to just over eight hundred.
Pressure fell again.
Jiang Tieniu even lost interest in standing on the city wall and returned directly to the mayor’s residence to wait.
Inside the mayor’s residence,
Black Widow was trimming her nails. When she saw him return she asked, "Going to run away?"
"No need. The Nothingness Chaos isn’t much of a threat anymore!"
Jiang Tieniu replied casually.
Black Widow said in surprise, "I thought you came to fetch reinforcements."
Jiang Tieniu showed a puzzled look. "This Nothingness Chaos is odd. It’s like it deliberately avoided our town."
He paused, then said, "That Seven Stars has to be involved!"
Black Widow’s interest peaked. "Are you going to make a move?"
"You idiot! Don’t you think it’s possible that those Nothingness monsters were secretly dealt with by that Seven Stars?" Jiang Tieniu said exasperatedly.
"Is that so?" Black Widow returned to filing her nails, bored. "Sigh, another fat sheep gone!"
"Mind your manners, and don’t provoke that Seven Stars, or don’t blame me for being unkind!" Jiang Tieniu warned, then went back inside.
Black Widow scoffed but didn’t disobey Jiang Tieniu; she understood him. Though his name sounded rustic, he actually had sense.
"Since we can’t touch Seven Stars, we’ll just wait for the next shipment to arrive!"
Black Widow said casually.
Su Yuan withdrew his perceptive gaze. He had momentarily thought Jiang Tieniu might move against him, but Jiang had only guessed Su Yuan had interfered with the nearby Heaven Slaves.
Fortunately, Jiang Tieniu didn’t know that by now nearly half of the Heaven Slaves within the First Frontline had been quietly eliminated by Su Yuan over the course of a few centuries.
Su Yuan’s harvest was enormous.
Elsewhere,
Inside a special ruin,
Prison Master Wu Tianxiang frowned. "Another batch of my Heaven Slaves died. I’ve taken heavy losses in this Nothingness Chaos!"
"Many of my Heaven Slaves died too!" Qixin said in puzzlement. "Who popped up and managed to deal with our Heaven Slaves? The Heaven Slaves’ origin core was enhanced by a hundred ranks; no one under a hundred ranks should be able to permanently kill them!"
Zang Tianguan spoke, "More crucially, this person was rapidly traversing the entire frontline in a short time. Their mastery over space-Dao and similar means is extremely advanced. I have a feeling this person will become an adversary of ours!"
"Could a new hundred-rank powerhouse have been born?" Wu Tianxiang thought of the mysteriously vanished True Spirit imprint of Changsun Xuzhu.
