Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Gold That Moves the Heart

The surroundings were engulfed in darkness and a suffocating silence; it was so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. The group was buried hundreds of meters underground, having been hit by an earthquake.

“This earthquake was aimed at us, wasn’t it? It happened right here, and coincidentally, the underground cave collapsed. It seems that this world truly despises us.”

Fang Wuji and numerous disciples of the Mountain Gate were in a cavern made of large stones; everyone was prepared, having dug into the harder stones and reinforced it, turning it into a refuge.

If they were directly crushed by the mass of earth and stones, the odds of their iron-like bodies getting hurt were low; however, it would be hard to find space to move if buried alive, causing quite some trouble.

The drilling machine started, the space gradually expanded, and around ninety people gathered again.

They lit a lamp, dispelling the darkness, and light returned. Wang Xuan looked at everyone and asked, “Should we stay here temporarily or go out?”

They had solid oxygen tanks that would last for ten days to half a month.

Frankly speaking, if they stayed underground, it would be near impossible for the Celestial Race to find them; even if they were discovered, it would be difficult for them to enter because of their large size.

“We should go out and find another place to hide. This Otherworld source is labor-intensive and noisy, but ultimately, it doesn’t harm us much.

Other disasters don’t matter, but we should worry about being struck by lightning, so in rainy weather, make sure to install a lightning rod.” Wang Huatian said.

Upon reaching the surface, they inhaled the fresh air and then soared towards the snow-capped mountains, a place sparse with people.

Wang Xuan did not accompany them; instead, he returned to the densely populated area of the Celestial Race, planning to gather information.

The disaster from the previous night was spreading among the Celestial Race, becoming a headline engulfing the whole race.

They couldn’t believe that in the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm, hundreds of forests were ablaze, and dozens of cities had turned into hell on earth, directly blown into ruins.

The official statement was that an alien race had infiltrated, causing havoc in the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm, prompting the government office to dispatch a large number of warriors to search and destroy, and the populace was urged to report any news.

But despite such an environment, Wang Xuan appeared with fearless composure.

He buried a large number of high-explosive bombs in a valley and then hypnotized a Celestial Race member to report it, luring the Celestial Race warriors.

Sure enough, several hundred Celestial Race warriors, led by a formidable four-armed entity, arrived, while Wang Xuan watched from ten miles away.

Soon, a gigantic explosion erupted, and the group, covered in ashes, searched around. Most of their number were dead, though the formidable four-armed entity remained unscathed.

From a distance, Wang Xuan set up a laser gun and started aiming. As he pulled the trigger, one Celestial Race warrior after another fell, with over a dozen dying within seconds.

“It’s coming from that direction! Capture him!”

At the command, hundreds of people rushed towards Wang Xuan’s location, yet it was expected, and he quickened his laser gun’s firing.

The speed of the laser beams was astonishingly fast; even a Six Arms being couldn’t evade, let alone those ordinary warriors.

Once targeted, not a single one of the Celestial Race could dodge. From ten miles away, Wang Xuan effortlessly sniped fifty people.

These fifty alien races were cultivators of the twin-arm level, and even though most were three to four meters tall, if hit in the head by a laser gun, they would die instantly.

However, those five to six meters tall and that nearly twenty-meter-tall four-armed entity were much tougher, not something a laser gun could take down with a single shot.

At that moment, the alien race was already three miles away, especially that four-armed led entity, who could easily leap two to three hundred meters in a single bound.

With a shot, Wang Xuan hit the eye of the entity, causing it to let out an angry roar as the retina was pierced, severely affecting its vision. The alien, left with only one eye, was enraged, leaping up with its twenty-meter-tall body, using its hand to cover its eye as it landed in front of Wang Xuan.

But Wang Xuan moved back, plunging underground, landing dozens of meters below, running through the winding underground tunnels.

The gigantic four-armed being desperately beat the mountain but could not enter the narrow passage to catch Wang Xuan; within mere breaths, Wang Xuan was miles away and then left through an underground river.

With such sniping again and again, Wang Xuan killed over a thousand alien warriors in one day, reaping significant gains.

But more astonishingly, he continued to hypnotize ordinary Celestial people afterward, with hundreds reporting, all leading to different places.

After the alien warriors arrived, they discovered no trace of Wang Xuan, running around pointlessly again and again.

Such repeated incidents led to the ordinary people’s reports being ignored.

After a hectic day, Wang Xuan also left; if he stayed, a Six Arms entity might arrive, which would pose a threat to his safety.

Hundreds of miles away, Wang Xuan was hiding in a village, where he hypnotized all four members of a family, making them willingly conceal his whereabouts.

From this family, Wang Xuan acquired a lot of information.

Within a hundred miles, there was a core area named Jinshan City, taking its name from several nearby gold mines, known for yielding large amounts of gold tributors to the Imperial City, making it an important place.

“Gold? It’s a heavy metal with considerable value; if I seize dozens of tons, I could become a wealthy businessman upon returning to Earth.”

Thinking about the value of gold, Wang Xuan had an idea; he had to seize it, as it was a rare opportunity.

——

An earth-shattering large-yield nuclear bomb exploded in the Otherworld, about tens of miles from the Gate of the World, and its enormous power spilled into the Gate of the World.

He the Sixth’s fingers suddenly became enormously large, with a diameter of dozens of meters. He directly poked into the Gate of the World, tightly blocking the gateway, so the explosion’s impact did not reach Earth at all.

“That lad is truly audacious and dares to do anything.

The extent of nuclear radiation’s impact is unknown; although alien warriors stationed near the Gate of the World will suffer, Earth’s future entrants will also be affected, requiring effort to handle nuclear contamination. Doesn’t he want the Federation to enter?”

Before long, the video footage sent by Wang Xuan was already presented before him.

After viewing, He the Sixth learned about the Eternal Host Species.

“Creatures like these?”

The Primordial Spirit swept, missing none within tens of miles around, not even a speck of dust. In doing so, he did find many Eternal Host Species fragments.

With a grasp of his hand, hundreds of fragments gathered in his palm; the Primordial Spirit immersed in them to analyze the Life Origin of the Eternal Host Species.

After a long while, he raised an eyebrow.

“It’s no ordinary species; an Eight-armed Celestial King Realm can’t produce it. Perhaps a super powerful being once descended upon this world, leaving behind a legend after revealing their divine power and departing, with the Eternal Host Species as a remnant of that being.”

Such a remnant evidently serves a specific purpose.
