I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 150 - 114: Devouring Spirit Root, Second Stage!
One step, two steps...
Lin Chen slowly stepped forward, getting closer and closer to the village chief.
"Come closer... a little closer..."
The Cui Island Lake Chief was praying incessantly, clutching the self-destructive talisman in his hand tighter and tighter.
However, Lin Chen stopped his steps, finally halting ten zhang away from the chief.
The Cui Island Lake Chief’s heart gradually sank.
"You, who exactly are you? No, what kind of monster are you!"
He was still trying to stall for time. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Nonetheless, Lin Chen didn’t bother with any more nonsense and directly raised his hand.
"Tutu-tutu..."
Thousands of bullets poured out, shredding the chief’s broken body into a sieve.
Before dying, the Cui Island Lake Chief’s eyes were filled with regret and terror...
His body twitched a few times on the ground, finally falling silent.
"Dead?"
Lin Chen released his divine sense, unable to detect the Chief’s aura.
But he didn’t act rashly, as there was no guarantee that the chief didn’t have some kind of fake death technique.
Thus, he gave a slight mental command, and the Demon-slaying Flying Blade responded, slicing toward the chief’s corpse.
The blade passed through, blood splattered, and the chief’s head rolled off.
Seeing the body and head separate, Lin Chen finally relaxed and looted the storage bag from the chief.
No time to check it thoroughly, Lin Chen set off again to pursue the deputy chief at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment.
Lin Chen looked up to the sky, and saw the deputy chief already hundreds of zhang away, riding on a flying sword.
If he didn’t give chase now, the deputy chief might really escape.
But Lin Chen didn’t panic at all, muttering softly:
"Ha, this guy sure runs fast!"
"Launch w-17 nanomissile..."
With Lin Chen’s command, a small missile launcher emerged from the back of the Celestial Demon Battle Armor.
A moment later, the nanomissile roared out, hitting the deputy chief several hundred zhang away in less than a second.
The deputy chief activated his protective true essence to try and defend himself.
However, against the missile’s power, which could destroy a mountain peak, how could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator’s protective true essence withstand it?
The deputy chief’s protective true essence lasted less than a breath before it turned into a mist of blood under the missile’s high heat and pressure, leaving no bones behind.
Lin Chen stood watching for a few seconds, murmuring:
"What a pity..."
It’s a pity the storage bag was surely damaged under such power.
Otherwise, Lin Chen could have saved himself the trouble, just bombarding and sinking the island...
By now, none of the Foundation Establishment tribulation cultivators of Cui Island Lake Stockade survived.
From here, it became simpler; the Qi Refining tribulation cultivators on the island had almost no ability to counterattack under the firepower of the Celestial Demon Battle Armor.
Alongside Long Ba and Feng Jiu, the martial arts puppets providing assistance.
In less than a two-hour period, all the Qi Refining tribulation cultivators on the island were killed.
The whole process was much simpler than attacking the Jade Belt Stockade before...
After the killings, Lin Chen walked around the island, letting his divine sense sweep through to ensure no survivors.
Then, it was time to tally the spoils.
The entire Cui Island Lake Stockade, with over three hundred tribulation cultivators who had been looting for years, had amassed considerable wealth.
Just the Spirit Stones were close to eighty thousand, and various magical treasures and materials piled up like a mountain.
With a preliminary estimate, Lin Chen figured the total value of these goods was no less than thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
After cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the spoils, Lin Chen didn’t linger long, quickly leaving using artifact control.
Flying several hundred miles away, he confirmed that no one was pursuing him, and then he took out a few items.
A slightly damaged array plate, along with twelve array flags.
"The Island Protection Array of Cui Island Lake Stockade... combining an illusion array and protective array, it’s even more advanced than the Jade Belt Mountain’s array..."
Lin Chen thought silently, this Island Protection Array was worth at least several Spirit Stones, and couldn’t be easily bought.
These were considered foundational resources by major powers.
To Lin Chen, whether he took it to the High Martial World for research in an array research institute or kept it for himself, it was an excellent choice.
Apart from this array, Lin Chen also had a crystalline pearl the size of a fist in his hand.
Smooth and round, containing rich water element spiritual qi.
——Water-Repelling Pearl!
"This Water-Repelling Pearl doesn’t help much in combat, but it’s very useful underwater..."
Lin Chen carefully put away the Water-Repelling Pearl.
This Water-Repelling Pearl was quite valuable and was one of the Cui Island Lake Chief’s trump cards.
Regardless of being Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or even Core Formation cultivators, their strength would be affected to some extent underwater.
The wonder of the Water-Repelling Pearl is that it allows cultivators to fight underwater without being affected and provides some resistance to water magic.
If Lin Chen had been a little slower and the chief had escaped to the depths of Cui Island Lake, it would have truly been troublesome.
Lin Chen counted the number of spirit stones in his hand.
After obliterating Cui Island Lake, the number of spirit stones he had was close to nine hundred thousand.
He’s only about ten thousand short of the one million spirit stones needed to advance his Devouring Spirit Root.
"Sigh, still need to work hard. Luckily, there’s still one wayward tribulation cultivator force left..."
Lin Chen looked in a certain direction.
The last of the three tribulation cultivator forces was less than a thousand miles from here.
Having already struck, Lin Chen had no intention of procrastinating.
He planned to take advantage of Cui Island Lake’s demise not yet spreading and take out the last band of tribulation cultivators in one go.
First, bombardment to level the place, followed by a big fire to cover the combat traces in the stockade.
Then Lin Chen dismissed the Celestial Demon Battle Armor, summoned the flying sword, and headed towards the last remaining tribulation cultivators.
...
Meanwhile, back at Cui Island Lake Stockade.
Beneath the traces of bombardment, after the ground wriggled for a while, a battered figure crawled out from underground.
"What... what kind of monster is that?"
