560: Dissipate, also disperse

Chen Du is currently Rank 24. With a Promotion, he will directly reach Rank 27.

Rank 27 corresponds to a base strength of 20 million jin, which, with the Ten Secret Treasures' amplification, will become 198 million jin.

Adding two Star Marks, it becomes 204 million jin.

Star Mark is different from Mystic Treasure; its main focus is not base strength, so it adds less in that regard. Its emphasis is on abilities.

For example, Nimble Cats Grace has a terrifying weakening mechanism. This is only a 2-star Rank. If it were 5-star, it would probably cripple the opponent!

Of course, the prerequisite is that your Mental Energy must far exceed that of opponents at the same Rank.

Otherwise, this ability is useless.

Although 198 million jin is considerably more than 136 million jin, Chen Du currently only possesses Martial Skills at the Mastery level and River Severing level, so the gap is simply too large.

Moreover, Rank 29.9 is calculated at 80% of River Severing. This kind of gap is overwhelming, and even tens of millions more jin of strength cannot compensate for it.

Fortunately, Chen Du still has the Bloom ability. After using it, he will possess nearly 400 million jin of strength.

This puts him in a far superior position in terms of base strength.

Furthermore, in full-throttle mode, various abilities emerge endlessly, especially when facing civilizations skilled in Mental Energy, where his advantage is even greater.

However, opponents may not necessarily lack countermeasures or similar abilities.

Overall, this estimation is only a rough assessment of his own strength.

There are definitely Rank 29.9 Martial Artists he can kill, and there are definitely Rank 29.9 Martial Artists he cannot kill.

And those who can kill Chen Du at the Sky Soaring Warrior stage definitely exist, but they must be very, very few.

Whoosh!

Chen Du was focused on his journey, flying all the way.

Although his flying speed was equivalent to his ground speed, there were fewer obstacles, allowing him to reach his destination in a shorter time.

The Myriad Flowers Civilization was currently busy with war, and the other Small Civilizations in the Sector all adopted "protective" measures towards these non-plant Humanoid life forms. This was so that if the Myriad Flowers Civilization ever became displeased, they could use these foreign races as sacrifices.

Naturally, no short-sighted plant-based Small Civilizations came out to block his path.

Chen Du understood this, so he left much faster than he arrived. Before long, he reached the edge of the Myriad Flowers Sector.

Ahead was the Golden Sea of Bitterness he had crossed when coming. Although it was a no-fly zone, it seemed possible to fly over it now. After all, at this point, it was unlikely any Myriad Flowers foreign race would have the leisure to enforce that rule.

However, after a moment of thought, Chen Du still chose to abide by the rules.

Because at this very moment, there might be reinforcements or other foreign races planning to get a share of the spoils arriving above the Golden Sea of Bitterness. If there were Domain Warriors among them, Chen Du would likely not escape death.

For safety considerations, the water route was better.

Splash!

Chen Du plunged into the Golden Sea of Bitterness, rapidly approaching the Liaoyuan Sector.

This time, he still chose the same route as when he came, which was to travel at a depth of 3,000 meters.

From the Liaoyuan Sector to the Myriad Flowers Sector, one first passed through the territory of the Golden War Crab Civilization, then through the territory of the Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization.

Returning now, the order was naturally reversed.

"Hmm?"

On his way back, Chen Du noticed something unusual.

When he came, it was calm and peaceful here, but now there was a sense of turbulent waves below.

Only a few days had passed; could something major have happened here?

He decided to investigate; perhaps there would be some gain.

Theoretically, Chen Du would not be curious about such matters, but because there was a Lin Orchid below and several Great Civilizations above, Chen Du feared some unexpected event.

With this thought, Chen Du continuously descended as he advanced.

One day later, at 10,000 meters.

Chen Du saw many Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization members frantically flying towards the territory of the Golden War Crab Civilization.

It was known that the dividing line in the middle used to be the place where the two civilizations suffered the most casualties, yet now so many Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization members were crossing the border.

What exactly was going on?

Could it be that something major had happened to the Golden War Crab Civilization?

With this thought, Chen Du, who was hiding in a secluded corner observing, quietly made a move after seeing two passing Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization members, drawing their attention.

"Who's there!"

A Rank 25 Golden Rage Shrimp foreign race suddenly turned his head, spotting Chen Du immediately.

"A mere Rank 24 Humanoid life form dares to come to this depth!"

"Don't you know this is our Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization's territory?"

After speaking, he quickly flew over with a Rank 24 Golden Rage Shrimp foreign race beside him.

The two were naturally calm and unhurried, as they had a Rank 25 and a Rank 24 on their side, while the opponent was only a single Rank 24.

"He must be trying to take advantage of the chaos. We've already found several Small Civilization foreign races like this in the past few days."

Taking advantage of the chaos?

Chen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed something had indeed happened here.

"You..."

Pfft!

The Rank 25 Golden Rage Shrimp foreign race was just about to speak when Chen Du instantly killed him with a single sword strike.

The Rank 24 Golden Rage Shrimp foreign race beside him was so terrified that he stood rooted to the spot, unable to move.

His mind hadn't even fully processed what happened.

A Rank 24 instantly killing a Rank 25?

What kind of monster is this!?

"I ask, you answer."

"Don't play tricks; let's part on good terms."

"If you lie to me, your end will only be worse than death."

The Rank 24 Golden Rage Shrimp foreign race nodded, the fear spreading through him temporarily depriving him of the ability to think.

"Did something major happen to the Golden War Crab Civilization?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing that this question was within his ability to answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said:

"All five Domain Warriors of the Golden War Crab Civilization died for unknown reasons!"

"Without Domain Warriors, the Golden War Crab Civilization is now at the level of a mid-tier Civilization. Naturally, it can no longer possess such a large territory as before."

"Our Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization is currently settling accounts with them. From now on, we will be the Unique overlords here."

He slightly emphasized the words "Unique overlords" at the end, seemingly trying to intimidate Chen Du.

This trick was naturally useless, and Chen Du didn't care, as the outcome was already decided.

Could it be that Yan sacrificed himself again?

This was Chen Du's first thought.

After all, back then it was 1v5, and he couldn't even move the battlefield. Could he now manage 1v5 and get a five-kill?

Small Civilization's Domain Warriors, though not as strong as Great Civilization's, shouldn't be that far off, right?

This made Chen Du even more eager to return to the High Martial Civilization to confirm.

If Yan was still alive, he would definitely go back immediately to reassure everyone.

Afterward, Chen Du asked some more questions, some about the Golden War Crab Civilization, and some about the Golden Wrath Shrimp Civilization.

He even asked for his name.

"Di Ba," huh? I'll remember that.

Upon hearing this, Di Ba suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

"What do you want to do!"

"Didn't you say, I ask, you answer, and we part on good terms!?"

However, what greeted him was only Chen Du's Bone-Grinding Ash Sword.

Di Ba couldn't even react, let alone resist. Until his death, he didn't understand why, as fellow Rank 24s, the gap between them could be so vast!

In less than a breath, he turned to ash and was carried away by the current.

"Dispersing is also parting."

Chen Du murmured to himself, his gaze fixed on the front, which was once the territory of the Golden War Crab Civilization.

"It seems I still have a chance to get the Lin Orchid."

With that, his figure quickly descended, heading deeper.
