Chapter 1210: Well Fortified
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Shang Chen had traveled to many locations in the universe for several years. His skills were so extraordinary that nobody could see him coming or leaving.
Shang Ying Yue had used many secret treasures to hide in Desolate and most of them were fabricated by Shang Chen. He had also trained her well to use those moving and hiding skills.
In this aspect, Shang Chen was the master.
However, this time, Shang Chen also had a headache.
The Dark Shadow Clan also had masters of hiding and investigating. They had a magical power Upanishad and soul that helped them see things that normal people couldn't.
Bello had sent elite warriors of Dark Shadow Clan to guard spots that were close to Devil Blood Star. Shang Chen had to struggle to cross those checkpoints.
Eventually, Shang Chen had broken the Dark Shadow Clan's barrier to enter the area close to Devil Blood Star. As soon as he arrived, dozens of bolts of lightning had struck him.
He crouched in pain as the electric shock had dizzied him. Even the long hair that made him proud curled.
Shang Chen grimaced.
With his profound knowledge, when the lightning hit him, he immediately recognized that they were the "Indistinct Electric Light." These kinds of bolts didn't have shadows or images. It automatically attacked life energy fluctuations. It was the top treasure of the Ghost Mark Clan that used to be used to guard the holy land of the clan.
Even at Third Sky of Incipient God Realm, Shang Chen couldn't see it in advance to dodge. He was hit until he got dizzy. This Indistinct Electric Light was special, indeed.
Shang Chen's hair was now all curled up. He cursed under his breath, his face dark. He continued to move.
"The Deity Crossbow!"
Shang Chen screamed and used his power Upanishad to hide in a pond.
Above his head was a floating crossbow made of a five-colored crystal. It was the Wood Clan's top weapon. It could gather and condense the Essence Qi of Five Elements to create arrows so it could shoot unlimitedly. Even the body of the Incipient God Realm experts couldn't endure this weapon. The arrows that shot out from this crossbow could pierce through their bodies easily.
This toy was a treasure to protect the Wood Clan's holy land. Shang Chen didn't know why it appeared outside Devil Blood Star. He couldn't help but shout.
"God Murdering Incantation!"
"Heavenly Devil Heart Perishing Sea!"
"Disaster Flaming World!"
"Ten Thousand Layer God Wall!"
Shi Yan couldn't help but scream in fright all the way. He looked strangely stern.
He suddenly wanted to pay a silent tribute to the God Clan.
The barriers and restrictions set up around Devil Blood Star were all top treasures and weapons of the clans around Agate star area. Those things should stay in the holy land of the clans. They were lethal weapons that each clan had to spend hundreds of years to fabricate.
But they were here now.
Shang Chen calculated and found hundreds of barriers around Devil Blood Star, thousands of restrictions weaving with each other and creating an extreme deathtrap. Even at Third Sky of Incipient God Realm, he was anxious all the way.
Eventually, he didn't dare to intrude secretly, so he stood outside and yelled, "I am Shang Chen! I'm here to meet Shi Yan!"
He was also wary of those perilous arrangements.
Shang Chen was sure that if the Ascot family, the Fernandez family, and the Bai family dared to intrude on the planet, they had to pay a terrible price.
Devil Blood Star could be leveled, but these three families would have to pay with tens of thousands of lives. They would know how brutal the warriors of a star area were after they had all prepared to die for their homeland.
As the leaders of the forces thought that they must die eventually, they had taken out the precious weapons that they had hidden for a long time to significantly damage the God Clan.
Shang Chen understood it right at first sight.
A war chariot cautiously emerged. The pointy head of the war chariot glowed faintly. A warrior stood there, looking at Shang Chen to identify him for a long time. Afterward, he said, "Precursor, please step forward slowly..."
How could Shang Chen dare to hurry?
He walked like a snail. Each minute, he had to watch the lethal formations around him. It took a long time to reach the war chariot. He exhaled in relief and then said, "This area is truly a bronze fort. You guys have built a massive turtle shell that you could hide inside. Do you want to play the war of attrition with the God Clan?"
Zha Duo gave him a forced smile. "We don't have another solution, do we?"
Shang Chen was baffled. He recognized that Shi Yan hadn't told them the real situation. He didn't want to explain to them, so he just waved his hand. "Show me the way."
Zha Dou cultivated Space power Upanishad. If he met anything dangerous, he could retreat quickly. Also, as he used to meet Shang Chen, he was sent to check and pick up Shang Chen.
Crossing hundreds of barrier and restriction layers, the war chariot struggled to move through the dark red clouds of Devil Blood Star. Finally, they landed.
"Hey! You old bastard. Why are you here?" Someone called him happily from the group of grand palaces underneath. Her voice was so familiar.
It was An Liya.
Shang Chen wasn't so surprised. He chuckled and said to her, "If you can come here, why can't I?" From the sky, he had seen the Space Teleport Formation by the blood pond. He was amazed so he gave Shi Yan more points in his assessment.
At Ethereal God Realm, he could build a Space Teleport Formation that could connect to other star areas. Shang Chen thought that it was impossible for him at his realm. He knew many Second Sky of Incipient God Realm experts cultivating Space power, but none of them could reach Shi Yan's attainment. As he could build the Space Teleport Formation, it meant that Shi Yan had the ability to travel around the galaxy without worrying about being captured.
Being able to walk in the universe and travel across the sea of stars was a unique feature of the warriors cultivating Space power Upanishad. It was also the key criteria to evaluate the power of the warriors cultivating Space power Upanishad.
Shi Yan had reached this step.
"Precursor Shang Chen, you had the mood to wander around the lethal formations and restrictions. What do you think about them? Oh, you have a new hairstyle? It looks really good on you." Shi Yan guffawed by a big column carved with flying dragons images.
Shang Chen looked embarrassed as he cursed, "You guys are evil!" He hurried to adjust his clothes and comb his hair. People had a good chance to laugh then.
"It's because of you guys!" Shang Chen sounded angry.
Shi Yan waved his hand and bowed slightly to him. "Let's talk inside."
There were many talkative people here. Shi Yan had something he didn't want many people to know. He signaled Shang Chen.
Shang Chen understood.
---------------------------
Outside Devil Blood Star.
Today, shining battleships of the God Clan with low, rumbling noises were coming. They had emerged from a dark area.
On the observatory tower of the leading battleship, the experts of the Ascot family, the Fernandez family, and the Bai family were gathering. They observed Devil Blood Star and relaxed.
Chief Fick of the Ascot family and Chief Ranno of the Fernandez family were drinking. Phelps and Mia were waiting at their tables. They didn't dare to talk here and just tried to listen to the chiefs' conversation to see how they would deal with Devil Blood Star.
The brothers Fick and Sloan wore calm faces as they were talking about countless wonderful mines in Agate Star Area and the magnificent sights that they had seen along the way. They didn't mention the details of their plan for the next battle.
Ranno and Bai Can just laughed and participated in their story. Those bloody alligators had come from thousands of miles away to swallow Agate Star Area. However, they looked nonchalant as if they were here to watch beautiful attractions.
It looked like they knew the result was fixed and that they didn't need to worry about it anymore.
From their experience and in the history of the God Clan, since they could reach this phase, their victory was confirmed.
They had many examples.
Many star areas that the Ascot family and the Fernandez family had conquered earlier would give up fighting and become the God Clan's subordinates when they knew they couldn't resist the God Clan's force. They had to do that to preserve their race.
However, there were still some exceptions. Some stubborn clans didn't want to yield. Then, the God Clan would use their fatal attack or another sinister enticing plan to dissolve the other's force.
Thus, the stubborn opponents would have some internal struggles. The ones who wanted to yield and the ones who wanted to fight until death would battle each other, which gave the God Clan a good chance to conquer them all in the end. They didn't need to waste too much effort and time to control the situation.
In their eyes, Fick, Ranno, and Bai Can knew that it wouldn't be an exception this time. It would be easy to destroy this planet too.
Thus, when their fleet had come close to Devil Blood Star, they still had time and were in the mood to drink. They didn't put the opponents in their eyes at all.
"Let's talk about how to divide Agate Star Area."
Fick bottomed up his glass and then laughed loudly, "Our Ascot family wants the territories of the Fire clan, Potion and Tool Pavilion, Divine Light, and the Fighting League. We won't interfere with the South and West regions of Agate Star Area."
"Hey bro, you want the richest pieces of land. It troubles us, though." Ranno shook his head.
"I want the territories of the Ice Clan, Crystal Clan, and Wood Clan!" shouted Bai Can.
". . ."
The three of them began to dispute sharing the profits.
Phelps and Mia stooped and said nothing to learn bargaining skills from their seniors.
Their battleships came close to Devil Blood Star.
All of a sudden, Sloan hissed. "Something is not right!"
The three chiefs were bargaining with each other. They lifted their head to look at Sloan. Apparently, they weren't happy with his interruption.
Sloan pointed at Devil Blood Star and took a deep breath, "The energy there is fluctuating powerfully!"
The three chiefs finally paused their negotiation. They focused on Devil Blood Star. At first glance, they changed their visage and frowned.
"It seems like they don't want to be tied up." Fick snorted and then ordered, "Bello, you get there and call for them to recede. Tell them that whoever doesn't want to be buried in Devil Blood Star can get out of the planet. Our God Clan will treat them well. If they agree to sign our contract, they will become our vassals. We won't kill them to the last member."
After many years, the God Clan had always treated their enemies like that. They would entice them and then invade them like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.
Bello nodded respectfully. "I got it."
Bello, the Chief of the Dark Shadow Clan, got out alone and stood by the edge of the barrier around Devil Blood Star to shout Fick's messages.
Fick laughed and said to Ranno and Bai Can, "Let's see. After several days, Devil Blood Star will be chaotic. There are always cowards. They will become our insiders. We can just drink and wait."
"Alright."
Ranno and Bai Can have seen the same things all the time. They weren't worried and they just continued to drink and discuss how to divide Agate Star Area.
