Chapter 428: Finale
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the battlefield in outer space, He Tianzheng was fleeing from Chen Yiming.
The battle on the Flying Cloud Planet erupted at the same time. A small tree that was emitting a shining light grew larger and larger after landing on the ground. It only stopped when it was as big as the demonic vine.
Every leaf had fiery red patterns on it, and it emitted a divine flame that burned through everything. As soon as it appeared, the entire galaxy seemed to be burning, and the temperature on the Flying Cloud Planet was even higher.
At the same time, a pair of red eyes opened on the tree. When they met the bloodthirsty eyes of the demonic vine, two distinct domains formed between them.
One black and one red. Neither of them could take a step forward, and neither of them took a step back. Some of the divine flames were devoured by the darkness, while some of the darkness was burned away by the divine flames.
“It’s actually a plant life form too.”
In Flying Cloud City, countless living beings gasped. They all thought that this treasure tree that had fallen from the sky belonged to Chen Yiming and was under his control.
This way, He Tianzheng, who was already in a bad physical condition, might not be able to last until the arrival of the Roc clan.
“Is this person really from an ordinary world?”
Some people rubbed their temples, unable to accept what they were seeing.
A plant life form that could support cultivation, powerful physique, and spatial abilities. One would usually be considered a genius in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy if they were able to obtain even one of them.
Being a genius meant that one’s potential had been recognized. At the same time, it meant that one had just started their growth. Other than encountering some old monsters, it would not be a problem for one to dominate this galaxy.
“The human factions in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy are very large. Not only are there eight large clans, but there are also many sects and factions, as well as various powerful organizations.”
“Fortunately, there are always internal disputes. Even the eight large clans with bloodlines are no exception.”
Some of the alien species were wary and did not want another genius with terrifying potential to appear among the humans.
However, on second thought, even if this person did not create a huge grudge with the Roc clan, the internal strife among the human factions would not let him continue to grow easily.
In fact, the more dazzling his performance was, the worse his situation would be.
As for forming a relationship with Fat Man Gao, he could not even protect himself. With the two of them together, the old fellows who were participating in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse would treat him as a thorn in their side.
“Boom!”
Facing the treasure tree that descended from the sky, the demonic vine danced in the air and its black spear-like vines shot towards the treasure tree.
In an instant, an overwhelming counterattack was launched. From one side of the Flying Cloud Planet to the other, it continued to extend into the galaxy.
It was as if a black sea had come alive, and it was filled with a bloodthirsty aura. Living creatures felt a suction force from afar, and a mysterious seductive voice sounded in their ears.
Even if they stabilized their lower body and stood still, the distance between them seemed to be closing quickly. The aura of death descended.
However, the treasure tree that had just become larger was not flustered at all.
When the black spear-like vines surrounded and quickly approached it from all directions, the tree shook, and a large number of fiery red leaves shook with it. Then, the entire tree burned fiercely, and divine flames rose from it.
In the end, after a few moments, everything around it was burned to ashes. The Flying Cloud Planet fell silent. The bloodthirsty glint in the demonic vine’s eyes faded, and a large number of vines rolled back to its side.
He had just forced He Tianzheng to use his secret spatial technique again. Chen Yiming glanced over and was shocked. When did the treasure tree become stronger?
When they first met, each of those fiery red leaves was treated like a treasure that it would not easily use. Now, there were countless leaves.
Furthermore, from its unhurried counterattack, it clearly did not take the demonic vine seriously.
“Boom!”
It was impolite not to reciprocate. The treasure tree’s true counterattack had arrived.
Countless fiery red leaves shot out and turned into balls of divine flames in the air. The flames seemed to want to purify the demonic vine.
In the blink of an eye, the Flying Cloud Planet turned from black to red. It was as if everything was about to be burned to ashes.
Facing the treasure tree’s counterattack, a portion of the vines stabbed deep into the ground, and a portion turned into a protective barrier.
At a glance, it was obvious who was stronger.
In space, with a whoosh, He Tianzheng could no longer continue to protect himself and immediately charged in the direction of the demonic vine on the surface of the planet.
He did not use the secret spatial technique related to the mirror, nor did he know that the location was not suitable for the demonic vine, which was why his injuries had not healed.
However, with a loud bang, the galaxy suddenly shook. A figure suddenly appeared and forcefully blocked his path.
A tremor spread out from the point of contact. From the Flying Cloud Planet, it looked like a terrifying ring had exploded in space.
Chen Yiming relied on his powerful body to fight He Tianzheng, who was at the jade star realm, head-on for the first time. He didn’t miss again, unlike his previous attacks.
He Tianzheng’s ability to support the demonic vine was hindered, and he only stopped after retreating a large distance in space. His expression was ugly. Chen Yiming had also retreated a long distance before stopping, but he had a relaxed expression on his face.
However, the demonic vine on the Flying Cloud Planet let out a scream. Its huge body was about to turn into a sea of fire under the attack of the divine flames.
There was a clear difference in strength between the two plant life forms. The vines could not defend against all the fiery red leaves and a portion of them broke through the defenses.
“Young man, very good. You’re very bold,” He Tianzheng said through gritted teeth.
He had risked his life and suffered serious injuries to bring the demonic vine back to the Flying Cloud Planet from the otherworld.
When the demonic vine fused with his body in a symbiotic relationship, their life forces would temporarily be connected. The demonic vine’s attack power was stronger, and He Tianzheng’s secret spatial technique was more agile.
It could be said that this plant life form could complement him and improve him in all aspects, including combat, cultivation support, treatment of injuries, and so on.
Otherwise, he would not have dared to participate in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse.
However, he was restrained now and could not fight at his strongest.
Chen Yiming replied calmly, “You’ve only used the secret spatial technique a few times, and you’re already unable to use it? Is it because of your physical condition, or is it because you can’t use the secret spatial technique too frequently?”
To be honest, He Tianzheng felt like an old and weak opponent.
He had yet to fight to his heart’s content with someone at the jade star realm, but it seemed like he would not be able to last much longer.
“Don’t underestimate me. I naturally still have some strength left.”
He Tianzheng denied it and continued, “However, you have to think carefully. You’ve already offended the Jiang clan, one of the eight large human clans, and you’ve formed a huge grudge with the Roc clan.”
“If the He clan is added to the mix, there will definitely be no place for you in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. All that’s left for you is an endless pursuit.”
However, at this moment, he would only know if what he said was true or not after fighting. Perhaps he really still had some strength left, or perhaps he had reached his limit and was about to collapse.
Chen Yiming nodded.
Indeed, as He Tianzheng had said, after today’s incident, just the death of the Little Roc King, Yin Jueying, was already something that could not be resolved.
Now, with the addition of the two top factions in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, the Jiang clan and the He clan, it was as if he had taken the initiative to walk into a dead end and had to pay the price for his impulsive actions.
However, before he faked his death to launch a sneak attack on the Little Roc King, he had naturally made up his mind.
He did not know how large the human factions in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy were or how strong they were compared to the alien species. However, the humans were clearly not weak.
Such a large human faction was like a piece of cake that had already been distributed. How could they easily allow a new faction to gain a foothold without paying any price?
Then, if the humans from the blue planet, including Chen Yiming himself, wanted to establish themselves in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, they could choose to rely on a powerful human faction, such as the Gao clan.
Alternatively, they could choose to rely on Chen Yiming himself. In other words, Chen Yiming had to kill his way through until no one dared to underestimate him, including the alien species.
Otherwise, even if there was no longer the issue with Gao Shuai, similar provocations would still happen one after another.
Compared to the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, Chen Yiming had indeed come from a remote and ordinary world. However, it could not be denied that he had many treasures on him.
For example, just his physique, which was filled with vitality, had attracted the attention of the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet, who had been hiding himself away.
The battle in space stopped for a moment.
Suddenly, something strange happened to the space-travel portal in the middle of Flying Cloud City.
It was a portal that emitted an ancient aura. The base was made of crystalline jade, and the door frame was engraved with the patterns of mutant beasts.
“What’s going on!”
There were three humans at the star condensation realm guarding the space-travel portal. At this moment, when they saw the scene in front of them, each of them was shocked.
They saw that a part of the space-travel passage connected to the space-travel portal was affected by an unknown force and was quickly disintegrating and becoming a spatial distortion.
This would cause a serious chain reaction for the space-travel passage. It was equivalent to the power of distortion that was everywhere in the spatial distortion being released into the space-travel passage.
Needless to say, unless an existence with the ability to construct a space-travel passage acted in time to repair the problem, the entire space-travel passage would collapse.
“No wonder that person did not retreat, but he even wanted to kill the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet.”
Chaos immediately broke out everywhere in Flying Cloud City.
If even the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet was killed, the fate of all the living beings would be out of their control before the space-travel passage was repaired.
Very few spaceships had the ability to jump through space.
However, even if they had such a spaceship, who could guarantee that the spatial ability user would not have any means to stop them when they activated the space-jump? If they accidentally fell into the spatial distortion, it would not be a good outcome.
At the same time, the treasure tree and the demonic vine fought fiercely.
Planet life forms generally had a weakness. Their movement speed was often much slower than the average among those of the same level. It could even be said that they were at the bottom. Therefore, in battles between those of the same type, they quickly got into close combat.
The branches of the two sides intertwined, and the divine flames and the black light clashed violently.
The treasure tree was stronger, and the demonic vine could rely on the vines that were deep underground to absorb energy to recover, making up for the difference in strength to a certain extent.
This was a battle of devouring and being devoured. The losing side would become the opponent’s nourishment. It could be said to be an extremely tragic outcome, and there was no possibility of retreat.
In space, facing such a change in the space-travel portal, He Tianzheng finally could keep calm any longer, and his face filled with panic.
It was very difficult to secretly destroy a space-travel passage.
After all, although the space-travel portal door there, the corresponding coordinates of the spatial distortion were constantly changing. It was very difficult to accurately locate it.
For example, he was only in charge of guarding the Flying Cloud Planet. He had not built the space-travel portal.
Thinking of this, He Tianzheng immediately turned around and left the battlefield. He chose a random direction to escape in.
Was this still someone who came from an ordinary planet?
Not only was he more talented than a genius, but he also had a plant life form that was stronger than the demonic vine. Now, before he made a move, he had secretly helped to destroy the space-travel passage.
Thinking about it, his identity and background immediately became more mysterious. No one would believe that he came from an ordinary planet.
However, He Tianzheng was still facing Chen Yiming’s fists.
Chen Yiming used the space anchor left on the other party’s body to teleport through space and threw a punch at He Tianzheng.
“Boom!”
The space was shaking, and He Tian was vomiting blood. This punch had hit him square in the face.
The level of the jade star realm was already one level higher than the star condensation realm. It was unrealistic for him to be destroyed with a single punch. This was the truth. He Tianzheng had only vomited blood.
This was only because He Tianzheng was severely injured to begin with. Otherwise, if his body was in good condition, Chen Yiming would have a 50-50 chance of winning before his opponent exhausted himself severely.
Then, the next punch came.
At such a close distance, it was impossible for He Tianzheng not to counterattack. He forced himself to swallow a mouthful of blood and threw out a palm to meet the incoming fist.
“Crack!”
Before the fist and palm came into contact, Chen Yiming used the space anchor to appear behind He Tianzheng and punched him in the back.
At first, he thought that his bones had cracked. Then He Tianzheng’s face turned pale.
In reality, his inner world had suffered a heavy blow. There was already a problem affecting his body, so he needed a bandage to cover it up. Now, a large crack had appeared in his inner world.
“The power of the world that has gone out of control?”
Chen Yiming, who had succeeded in his attack, sensed He Tianzheng’s injuries. This was because his punch had completely erupted. The uncontrollable fluctuations of the power of the world shouldn’t be fake.
He Tianzheng immediately stopped and suddenly laughed wildly. “I didn’t expect this. I really didn’t expect that I would fall here, in the most unlikely place…”
There was a space-travel portal, the demonic vine, and many young geniuses from various species on the Flying Cloud Planet. Even the black tide, which made countless living worlds turn pale, did not attack this place.
It was not that they could not do it, but that the price they had to pay and what they could gain were not worth it.
For example, if something happened to the Little Roc King, the elders of the Roc clan could use the space-travel portal to arrive quickly. However, who would have thought that Chen Yiming would have a way to destroy the space-travel passage?
Furthermore, it was completed quietly before anyone could react.
It was all these coincidences that made He Tianzheng careless. He did not fuse with the demonic vine to fight from the start. Otherwise, he would not have been so burdened by his severely injured body.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yiming couldn’t be bothered to listen to the other party’s muttering before he died. He used the space anchor to arrive in front of He Tianzheng and threw a punch at him.
With a bang, a ball of blood appeared in the galaxy.
The ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet, He Tianzheng, had died.
