258: You will remember me

Great Worlds like the Great Barren World, which can't even protect the mineral deposits within its canyons, are rare; after all, the truly valuable mineral deposits are outside the canyons.

Seeing this, Xun Xiuyuan also said, "Senior Brother, please take me and Senior Xie Cangtian with you. The rest of the people will not be arranged for now."

As he finished speaking, he glanced at Hu Jinping.

Hu Jinping immediately said, "Your subordinate is willing to go with the Palace Lord."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, "Alright, you come too."

At this moment, Hu Jinping was also suffering in silence. He had already incorporated the entire Four United Association into the Heavenly Palace; couldn't he be given a little trust?

But for Xun Xiuyuan, Hu Jinping's surrender was merely a verbal submission, without any merit. No, that's not right; Hu Jinping did help with the opening of that small secret realm of the Zhu Xie Alliance.

It was just that in Xun Xiuyuan's eyes, it was far from enough. The alliance between the Four United Association and the Zhu Xie Alliance had caused great harm to the Great Barren World, and making amends was not so simple.

This was also the fundamental reason why Xun Xiuyuan kept pressing Hu Jinping.

The four quickly arrived at the eighty-thousand-mile mark of the canyon. Zhuge Lun said, "The canyon resources of the Great Barren World are already very scarce. For the past ten thousand years, the Great Barren World had no control whatsoever, and its mineral deposits were almost completely plundered by other Great Worlds. This particular mineral deposit was only discovered in the last thousand years, which is why the current competition is so fierce."

Xie Cangtian interjected and asked, "Which Great World are we competing with?"

Zhuge Lun replied, "It's still the two nearby Great Worlds: the Giant Elephant Great World and the Blood Sea Great World. Now, with our participation, the entire mineral deposit has formed a three-way standoff."

Xie Cangtian nodded upon hearing this, "The Great Nine Heavens World and the Great Elf World are not participating?"

The conversation between Zhuge Lun and Xie Cangtian mentioned four Great Worlds in total, all of which bordered the Great Barren World.

Among them, the Giant Elephant Great World was located between the Great Barren World and the Great Elf World, to the left of the Great Barren World.

And the Blood Sea Great World was between the Great Barren World and the Great Nine Heavens World, to the right of the Great Barren World.

Zhuge Lun shook his head, "The main mineral product of this deposit is fire-attribute spiritual materials. Their demand isn't great, so they haven't participated."

Xie Cangtian said to Xun Xiuyuan, "This Great Nine Heavens World is a human Great World, and it is quite friendly towards the Great Barren World."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this.

Ling Kuang, the Azure Dragon King, and the Ghost Emperor were on a high ground, facing the entrance of the canyon, preparing for a battle that could break out at any moment.

The Azure Dragon King was the first to sense the arrival of Xun Xiuyuan and his three companions. Upon seeing the four, he burst into laughter, "Our reinforcements have arrived!"

The Ghost Emperor and Ling Kuang turned their heads to look back, their faces also filled with smiles.

Especially Ling Kuang; in his thousands of years on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, this was the first time he had seen the Great Barren World so united.

His gaze towards Xun Xiuyuan was full of admiration. This young man had unified the entire Great Barren World by himself, truly a meritorious feat.

Xun Xiuyuan's arrival immediately made him the center of attention for everyone.

"There haven't been any attacks all day today. I estimate the next wave of attacks will arrive very soon, after all, the more we mine, the less they have," the Azure Dragon King said.

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the huge mining pit below and asked with a smile, "How strong are they?"

The Ghost Emperor replied, "They are similar to us, each side has three Super God Kings. But they often team up, so our mining personnel frequently suffer heavy casualties."

It should be noted that those mining were all in the Heavenly God Realm, and too many deaths would affect the strength of the Great Barren World.

After thinking for a while, Xun Xiuyuan said, "Is this the only large mining pit?"

Ling Kuang explained, "It's hard enough to gain a foothold; we dare not excavate on a large scale. The three of us can't guard it all."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded, then finally instructed, "The Azure Dragon King and the Ghost Emperor will wait here with me for their attack. Fourth Senior Brother, you go ambush at the Giant Elephant Great World's mining site. Senior Xie, you go ambush at the Blood Sea Great World's mining site. As soon as their Super God Kings arrive, you two act according to the situation."

Before the Azure Dragon King and the Ghost Emperor could object, Ling Kuang had already spoken, "In that case, you won't be very safe. Also, they generally only send four people to fight, with one Super God King staying behind to guard."

Xun Xiuyuan smiled, "No, you go ahead. I have my own methods."

Guarding? If a Super God King is killed, how could they still have the mind to guard?

Xun Xiuyuan was currently a Heavenly God of eleven laws, his combat power already far surpassed that of a Super God King, so he was not afraid at all.

Although Xie Cangtian did not know Xun Xiuyuan's specific strength, he believed in Xun Xiuyuan. Someone who could unify the Great Barren World wouldn't be so simple.

To be precise, Xun Xiuyuan was now the World Master of the Great Barren World.

Xie Cangtian merely cupped his hands to Xun Xiuyuan before leaving directly. Seeing this, Ling Kuang also said no more and turned to leave.

Xun Xiuyuan turned back and said to Zhuge Lun and Hu Jinping behind him, "You two, return to the main camp and reorganize the camp."

Then he pointed towards the end of the canyon and continued, "The main camp will be placed at the end of the canyon from now on. We must also participate in the competition for resources in the vast and boundless space of the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

Although Zhuge Lun didn't know where Xun Xiuyuan's confidence came from, this was Xun Xiuyuan's first order since arriving at the Extraterritorial Battlefield, so he could only nod.

He then returned to the Great Barren World's main camp with Hu Jinping.

The Azure Dragon King and the Ghost Emperor exchanged glances, smiling without speaking, saying nothing further.

Since Xie Cangtian and Ling Kuang had both obeyed, there was no need for them to say more.

Not long after Zhuge Lun and his companion left, the space ahead fluctuated sharply, and four figures appeared above the canyon not far away.

Xun Xiuyuan carefully observed them.

There were two immensely large, elephant-headed, human-bodied strong men, and two figures enveloped in blood mist. Compared to the other two, their physiques were slightly smaller, but still considered tall compared to Xun Xiuyuan and his two companions.

One of the giant elephants spoke, "Oh, new people? Where's that Ling Kuang? Has that battle maniac withdrawn? Wouldn't it be better for you Great Barren World to stay at home? Why bother coming to the Extraterritorial Battlefield? What's the point?"

As the giant elephant's words fell, a figure shrouded in blood mist laughed, "Barren is barren, it can't be presented. This person is actually a Heavenly God Realm cultivator. Is he trying to make me laugh to death? Why is a Heavenly God Realm cultivator climbing so high instead of mining below?"

Xun Xiuyuan smiled faintly, "Hello, I am Xun Xiuyuan, the World Master of the Great Barren World. You will remember me from now on."
