Chapter 172: Tuning The Tiger From The Mountain
"The people who stayed in the Heavenly Domain are all a bunch of useless individuals, not even one of them has reached the high-level Heavenly Realm. Otherwise, there would be no need for us to take action.
Fan Jing twisted his neck, making a cracking sound.
A dazzling light flashed on his arm, and two claws made of Starfall Spirit Steel appeared.
The cold aura spread from the claws, causing a piercing pain in the eyes.
The chilling momentum pressed towards Ye Chen like a fierce wind. This clone's strength was slightly weaker than Ye Chen, who had fused with nine other clones.
But the overall power was not weaker than Ye Chen's, and even a bit stronger.
The crazy gaze and twisted mentality made this cold clone appear even more insane.
The claws came at Ye Chen without any regard for their own lives, leaving cracks in the space with their extended marks.
After multiple collisions, Ye Chen shook his numb arm and put away the Thunder Battle Halberd.
A vast death energy spread from his body, and the Dark Domain opened once again.
Having received the information from the clone in the Heavenly Prison, Ye Chen knew that it was almost time.
While he was fighting the clone of Fan Jing, the remaining clone in the Heavenly Prison had completely wiped out the criminal forces with overwhelming power.
The unparalleled momentum and strong pressure instantly alarmed the gatekeeper of the Sky Island.
A thunderbolt flashed, and the familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Chen once again.
But this time, Ye Chen's clone was not afraid of the gatekeeper.
Most of the power on the Sky Island was concentrated at the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss. There was no need to kill the gatekeeper, just delay until the main body arrived.
The gatekeeper looked solemnly at the slave climbing up the Sky Island with the huge vine, but he didn't have the leisure to pay attention to it.
The situation was even more severe than the slaves escaping, as Ye Chen unexpectedly appeared in the Heavenly Prison.
He received information that clearly indicated Ye Chen was in the Heavenly Abyss.
"Ye Chen? How did you appear here? You should be at the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss, shouldn't you?"
While questioning, the gatekeeper tried to transmit the information here to the Heavenly Abyss through his helmet.
Judging from the aura emanating from Ye Chen's clone, although he wouldn't lose to Ye Chen, it was simply a pipe dream to try to capture him.
But how could Ye Chen's small movement escape his eyes? He didn't even have a chance to pass on the information.
The Dark Domain appeared, and the gatekeeper was too busy to spare any attention.
A fierce battle broke out in the sky above this prison.
This was the most serious incident since the establishment of the Heavenly Domain.
Not only did a massive number of slaves cross his defense line, but they also completely destroyed the appearance of the Sky Island.
These slaves, who had been oppressed by the Heavenly Domain, not only escaped but also wreaked havoc along the way to vent their inner hatred.
Among the crowd, the elves and others took the lead, but their target deviated from the route they had planned.
Several months ago, when Mu Yu suddenly appeared in front of everyone, they were shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially Lao Jia, who held Mu Yu tightly and refused to let go, fearing that this was just a dream.
Mu Yu was not only Lao Jia's former captain but also the first living tribe member he had seen in a long time.
There was nothing more exciting than this.
For many years, Lao Jia had lived a lonely life.
The long life of their race had not brought him happiness but rather prolonged torment.
He had thought of ending his life many times, but then he remembered the heavy burden on his shoulders, which kept him going until today.
But his persistence finally paid off. Not only did he wait for the day to see his tribe members again, but he also learned where the remaining tribe members were.
And their comrade, Jerry, also learned that his only relative was alive.
Although Grandma Liya was sealed in the Heavenly Abyss and unable to come out, he still had a hope.
The belief that once prompted him to join the military now resurfaces, as it was to find his grandmother that he went to the battlefield.
Now he has a new belief, to rescue his grandmother from the depths of the heavens.
Once his grandmother protected him, now he wants to save her.
But the most important thing is to get out of here. Before leaving, they need to go to the Wan Clan Laboratory.
Their destination at the moment is the Wan Clan Laboratory.
It is said that the survivors of the Wan Clan are detained there, and everyone holds a glimmer of hope to see their fellow clansmen.
However, the Wan Clan Laboratory is deep within the Sky Island, and even without the guards of the Heavenly Army, they are still hindered by Ye Chen.
But there are still many obstacles to reaching the laboratory.
Most of the strong in the Heavenly Realm have gone to the depths of the heavens, but there are still some King Realm individuals guarding various key points.
Among them, only the Elf and Mu Yu have the strength of the King Realm.
When they encountered the first checkpoint, the Elf stayed behind to block the obstructing enemies in order to save time and allow them to continue towards the laboratory.
Now, they are facing the second checkpoint.
They have already covered half of the distance to the laboratory.
Although Mu Yu really wants to go to the laboratory together, he has to buy time for everyone now.
"Xiao Jia, if you encounter clansmen in the laboratory, you must rescue them.
Of course, it is also possible that you won't see them, so be mentally prepared in advance.
Leave this place to me."
An astonishing aura erupted, and Mu Yu pushed everyone to the next checkpoint, leaving only himself to block the enemies here.
But as the slaves continued to leave the Star Pavilion, they didn't have much time left.
Someone will surely spread the news from here, and soon someone will come back.
At this moment, the remaining half of the journey seemed so long, but fortunately, they finally arrived at the laboratory.
Unfortunately, they were too late.
The laboratory had been moved from here long ago, when the Wan Clan Church was preparing to increase their assimilation efforts on Earth.
The laboratory was in ruins, with many corpses of different races, but their disfigured appearance was unimaginable, as they had experienced so much before their deaths.
The most desolate one was Lao Jia, this feeling of hope and disappointment easily made people lose all motivation.
Lao Jia stared blankly at a confinement room, where the sign of the Spirit Armor Clan was written, the place where their clansmen were once imprisoned.
But now it was empty, and it was unknown whether the clansmen had been moved or had already become extinct.
The others came up behind Lao Jia, but couldn't find the words to say. They were all on the brink of extinction in the invasion of the Wan Clan.
They understood Lao Jia's mood to some extent.
However, Feng Chun, who came with them, noticed something.
In front of the large screen in the laboratory, there were several coordinates marked on the secondary interstellar map.
Most of the coordinates were crossed out, leaving only five locations circled.
It was obvious that this was a map of transfer bases, perhaps because they trusted the Heavenly Domain and didn't take them away.
But at this moment, it became the only hope in everyone's hearts.
But before they could rejoice, a pressure that tore through the heavens and earth suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Domain.
Using the cover of the Dark Domain, Ye Chen once again appeared in the Heavenly Domain using the Chaos Chessboard.
Just one clone of Fan Jing was already beyond what Ye Chen could defeat.
But fortunately, their arrogance bought them enough time.
This move to lure the tiger away from the mountain was very successful, even if they received the news and wanted to come to the rescue, it was too late...
