Chapter 407: Sudden Change in the Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened.

In the plate-shaped world, many forces of darkness were quickly recovering.

From the dragon gods to the terrifying creatures, they all walked out of their territory and released their auras to intimidate the dark power that was about to erupt.

The reason was not because of the counterattack from the black tide, but because after Chen Yiming eliminated the hidden dangers in the black water pit, he continued to eliminate the other hidden dangers in the other areas of the plate-shaped world.

The dark creatures were killed one after another, but there were always remnants of the dark power left behind. The entire world seemed to have shuddered as the temperature decreased.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

Two of the three dragon gods flew into the sky and cooperated with the world’s will, turning the world into a cage. They isolated the world from the outside and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

The world’s will clearly hated the dark creatures to the core. It treated them like parasites and took every opportunity to attack them to prevent the dark aura from contaminating this world.

“This is forcing the hidden dark creatures into a corner! However, this is also an opportunity for us to show off and obtain a brighter future,” a terrifying creature said in a low voice.

Just as he had said when he first appeared in this world, Chen Yiming was acting as a member of the Peacekeeping Alliance to rescue the world that had been invaded by the black tide.

Soon, the terrifying creatures moved.

They did not need to fight the dark creatures to the death. They only needed to stall for a moment until the dark creatures started to panic on their own.

This was because the dragon gods were watching from the sky, and there was a God of Death who seemed to be almost everywhere at once, searching for abnormal places all over the world with his super perceptive state.

The dark creatures would be easily killed by this God of Death.

As for the creatures below the fusion realm, they also felt the pressure brought about by the darkness. However, they were too weak.

“Roar!”

A cloud leopard that was emitting a green light and had a fierce expression roared a warning at a cliff in its territory. An abnormal sense of oppression came from there.

The wind that blew past turned into wind blades that circled around its body. Wherever they passed, huge trees collapsed and boulders were cut into pieces, and it was like a natural disaster.

This cloud leopard was born with an affinity for the wind. It had been enhanced by the power of the wind since it was young, and was powerful and fierce in combat. It was extremely good at hunting, and had become an overlord since it became an adult.

However, a black club suddenly shot out from the concave wall of the cliff.

In the cloud leopard’s eyes, the black club moved too quickly, and was so fast that even it, who had an advantage in speed, could not react in time. It could only release its spiritual power to the limit and control the wind blades around it to meet the incoming blow.

“Swish!”

The wind blades were like tofu when faced with the black club and did not pose any resistance to it at all. The black club easily pierced through all the wind blades in its path and pierced through the cloud leopard’s heart.

The cloud leopard felt a sense of pain. This pain was not only coming from its body, but also from its mind. It was losing control of its body.

Then, the cloud leopard struggled a few times before the black club and its body retreated from its spot on the cliff.

Creatures who had mastered the power of nature often easily ruled over a small area. However, against the dark creatures, they were usually just treated as prey.

The suppressed aura suddenly appeared and quickly disappeared, while the aura of the cloud leopard completely disappeared, causing the territory occupied by the cloud leopard to fall into chaos.

Creatures who had not even mastered the power of nature and had only mastered a little supernatural power could only hide in their hiding places and tremble.

Occasionally, a wisp of dark aura would drift over, scaring them out of their wits. Every time they made a choice, whether to stay where they were or move to another hiding place, it was a gamble that they would risk their lives.

Occasionally, a wisp of dark aura would drift over, scaring them out of their wits. Every time they made a choice, whether to stay where they were or move to another hiding place, it was a gamble with their lives at stake.

If one was touched by the dark aura, their will would completely be taken over by it, and they would turn into crazy beasts that only knew how to kill.

…

Not long after.

The dark power in the entire plate-shaped world instantly erupted.

Knowing that if they continued to hide, they would only die, the dark creatures walked out of their hiding place and a conflict broke out.

“Boom!”

A ball of yellow light exploded on the sand, and thick smoke rose into the sky. The ground was like dry soil, and cracks appeared everywhere.

In the next moment, the yellow light that seemed to be able to illuminate the world turned dark again after a black fog drifted past. Only an invisible shock wave was left behind.

“It’s the desert crocodile. It’s intercepting the dark creatures that are trying to break out of the encirclement.”

The first conflict at the level of the fusion realm started, and countless gazes immediately turned to the battlefield.

A huge pit appeared in the sand. A crocodile mouth covered in metal barbs that was so large it could swallow an asteroid snapped at a dark creature nearby.

This dark creature had perfectly fused with the darkness of the night. It was impossible to see its appearance clearly, and it did not seem to have a fixed form.

Soon, as the conflict intensified, the mouth of a fish appeared from the thick black fog from time to time. It was about the size of the crocodile’s mouth.

The two huge creatures started to fight in close combat. The ground completely collapsed, and the dust and black fog completely covered the battlefield.

At the same time, in other areas, almost all the terrifying creatures were forced to participate in the conflict with the dark creatures. The main reason was that the actual number of dark creatures far exceeded their imagination.

It was not even an exaggeration to say that each terrifying creature needed to face more than 10 dark creatures. The difference in strength between the two sides was huge.

“Roar!”

The dragon gods in the sky were furious.

“Buzz!”

It was as if a huge bell was ringing in the world, and the world’s will was in a rage.

The black tide had extended its tentacles into the world. With so many dark creatures, if they launched an attack that could hold back the three dragon gods, the hidden dark creatures could instantly crush this world.

Soon, flames that spanned across the sky landed on the ground one after another. These flames were not ordinary flames, but flames formed by the power of the world.

With the enhancement from the world’s will, the two dragon gods became like perpetual motion machines, and the energy in their bodies was inexhaustible.

In the face of the difference in strength, the dark creatures were constantly burned to ashes.

The body of darkness was actually very powerful. There were also existences like Chen Yiming, who could fight someone of a higher level. However, there were no such existences in the five worlds in this galaxy.

“It’s like walking on the brink of death.”

Seeing this, the terrifying creatures heaved a sigh of relief. The dark creatures they encountered rarely engaged with them. Otherwise, if it was one against many, they would not be able to last long before being torn to pieces.

In terms of physique and talent, there was no difference in level between the five worlds in this galaxy. Before the black tide invaded, there were those who were stronger and those who were weaker. They were considered to be at almost the same level.

Therefore, after transforming into dark creatures and obtaining the body of darkness, their physique and talent would directly surpass all the terrifying creatures in the five worlds.

Often, when facing one dark creature, two or even three terrifying creatures might not be able to take them down, let alone now that the other side had the advantage in numbers. The terrifying creatures were definitely on the weaker side.

…

Above the clouds, dozens of black lights suddenly shot into the sky. Many black clubs were hidden in the black lights, and their target was the world cage formed by the world’s will.

“Boom!”

The entire world shook, and a hole appeared in the void. Starlight shone through the hole, and even the oldest dragon god guarding the treasure tree was alarmed.

It turned out that the dark creatures had silently gathered together and seized the opportunity when the two dragon gods were distracted to create a hole in the cage formed by the world’s will.

Although the world cage was formed by the power of the world, it was not invulnerable. The dark creatures relied on the interference of the black clubs to instantly unleash power at the level of gods.

In addition, there was an unknown power on them that prevented the power of the world from automatically repairing the hole.

“I didn’t expect those black clubs to be so special when they were used as weapons.”

Chen Yiming controlled the space anchor and threw it out. He marked the coordinates of the empty spot and observed the scene within it carefully.

Above the clouds, the dozen or so dark creatures strangely did not immediately rush towards the gap in the void and escape the cage set up by the world’s will.

“They first created a hole to attract all the attention to it. That’s definitely not the true location from which they will escape. The two dragon gods are headed in that direction.”

Chen Yiming saw through this simple diversion.

In the history of human wars, similar strategies had been used too many times. He could even recite them backwards and repeat them word for word.

“The upcoming battle is no longer something you can participate in as you please.”

“Elk, stay where you are and wait for orders. The golden ape and the white cat will move together. Together with the other terrifying creatures, we will delay the escape of the dark creatures.”

Chen Yiming had a feeling that his interference would cause a chain reaction. Hence, he turned around and instructed the golden ape, the elk, and the white cat.

When the golden ape and the white cat heard this, they were a little disappointed. However, they instantly composed themselves and quickly left.

As the first to submit to Chen Yiming, they still had an advantage. At the very least, they were carrying out Chen Yiming’s orders.

Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and waited quietly. He planned to deal with the situation as it developed. At the same time, he went through the plan he had made when he left the blue planet.

“The initial plan was to work in secret. We would first break through the blockade on the blue planet and create signs that we wanted to leave the blue planet completely.”

“Then, I would secretly come to this world and gather as many forces as possible to create chaos for the black tide here. I can also obtain many benefits during the chaos.”

“Now, with my fake identity as a member of the central galaxy’s Peacekeeping Alliance, I have already obtained the approval of the plate-shaped world, including that of the three dragon gods. In other words, the step of consolidating our forces has been successfully completed.”

Chen Yiming looked at the starry sky and thought to himself,

“Although I’ve only been in this world for a short time, it’s time to launch a counterattack against the black tide. If we wait any longer, there might be more variables when the black tide reacts.”

He had been thinking about the core of the world that could provide him with a large number of Skill Points, just like the foundation bases of the dark forest world.

Regardless of whether he decided to take the treasure tree away in the end, he would definitely have to obtain some benefits.

On second thought, “This status as a member of the central galaxy’s Peacekeeping Alliance seems to be very useful. I tricked the three dragon gods with it. Should I keep at it for the long term?”

Chen Yiming was thinking that after humans left the blue planet in spaceships, they would become a wandering civilization before they found a new planet to live on.

If they encountered an unfamiliar civilization or a cultivation world along the way, rashly interacting with them as a wandering civilization would often have the opposite effect, causing their interaction to have a bad outcome.

“On the other hand, if I continue to maintain this status and background, I can even continue to make this pie that doesn’t exist bigger and rope in more powerful creatures to our side.”

At this moment, he had the intention to make the Peacekeeping Alliance seem even stronger.

The reason was that as the level of his Undying Body talent and the Giant talent continued to increase, the difference between him and others of the same level would increase. Without a doubt, this would provide evidence for the authenticity of his claims.

The only hidden danger was the existence of powerful cultivation worlds in the central galaxy and whether there was actually an organization like the Peacekeeping Alliance.

Just as Chen Yiming was thinking about how he could continue to use this fake identity to trick more people, the cage formed by the world’s will was attacked from more than 10 directions.

The black lights with the black clubs hidden inside created one hole after another in the cage. This meant that there were more than 10 escape routes.

“Roar!”

The two dragon gods spat out a single stream of dragon breath at the places where most of the dark creatures had gathered. The terrifying flames formed by the power of the world pushed back dozens of dark creatures at once.

Due to the distance, the lethality of the dragon’s breath was lowered. It was more like a deterrent. If the dark creatures dared to go towards the holes in the cage, they should be prepared to be burned to death.

However, the dark creatures had been waiting for this moment. How could they give up just like that?

“Rumble…”

They had created more than 10 holes in the cage, but this was not their final trump card. The 10 highest mountains in the world suddenly exploded.

At the same time, as the mountains collapsed, unknown objects shot out towards the two dragon gods. They were large black nets, and each net was larger than the bodies of the dragon gods. There were more than a hundred of them in total.

“What is this!”

The two dragon gods were shocked by the black nets that were closing in on them from all directions.

Their intuition told them that the mountains had been tampered with at some point. The black nets were left behind to deal with the three dragon gods, so they would definitely be held back for the time being.

“…”

Seeing this, Chen Yiming felt helpless. He couldn’t help the two dragon gods.

The black tide took out more and more shocking items time and time again. If it were him, he could only use the space anchor to dodge in advance. Otherwise, it would be like the first time he was surrounded and forced to find a way to escape from the special sealed item.

At this moment, the two dragon gods began to try to counterattack. Before they were trapped by the black nets, they spat out several dragon breaths in a row.

The terrifying flames turned the black nets into nets of fire. However, due to the unknown material and special method used to create them, the dragon breath was unable to destroy them completely.

The next moment.

The two dragon gods were covered in large black nets that were still on fire. Then, they quickly fell to the ground, as if they had suddenly lost control of their own energy.

“Even a god who has mastered the power of the world can be restrained?”

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow. The black net wasn’t just made from tough materials. It could even severely affect the dragon gods’ control over their own energy. Otherwise, the two dragon gods wouldn’t have fallen from the sky.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

At this moment, faint laughter sounded out, but there were still no signs of the dark creatures escaping through the holes.

This was very abnormal, as if they had no intention of escaping.

“It turns out that the holes in the cage were not used to escape at all. Instead, they were used to launch a counterattack. There should be more movements outside the world soon.”

“If I had appeared immediately to chase after the dark creatures, those black nets might have charged at me. There might even be more black nets hidden somewhere.”

Chen Yiming realized this after some thought.

There were still so many dark creatures at the level of the fusion realm. To the plate-shaped world, they were a very powerful force that needed to be taken seriously.

However, to the black tide, they might only just be targets to be sacrificed. After all, the dark creatures seemed to have been created by the black tide whenever they invaded a world.

In essence, as long as they continued to invade new worlds, there would never be a lack of dark creatures.

As expected, Chen Yiming’s thoughts were soon confirmed.

At the center of this world, the invisible barrier suddenly disappeared, as if a huge glass barrier had exploded.

In its place was a huge black net that covered a larger area on the surface and deep underground, binding the oldest dragon god and the treasure tree.

On the branches of the treasure tree, the fiery patterns on the red leaves had clearly dimmed. That was the key to the dragon god activating the red light. Now, there was a huge problem.

Perhaps even if it could forcefully use it, the power would not be as strong as before.

At the same time, peace gradually returned to the world. The world’s will no longer appeared, and it seemed to be suppressed by an unknown force.

The cage that had more than 10 holes in it quickly collapsed, revealing the starry sky outside the world. A heavy pressure came from deep in space.

This sudden change shocked the three dragon gods, the spirit in the treasure tree, and the terrifying creatures who had stopped when they saw that something was amiss and had distanced themselves from the dark creatures.

It also shocked Chen Yiming.

“In the dark forest world, they put all the living creatures into a continuous nightmare. It was equivalent to squeezing out negative emotions over a short period of time to harvest them.”

“Now, for some unknown reason, after sacrificing all the living creatures on that world, they are switching from offense to defense in this world.”

“The three dragon gods destroyed all the arrangements of the black tide that occupied the plate-shaped world. The treasure tree was once buried by the female spirit, so it should be of extraordinary value to her. She took the initiative to communicate with me and asked me to snatch the treasure tree back.”

“Therefore, the black tide’s counterattack against the plate-shaped world must have been planned long ago. I just don’t know if the other party was already fully prepared or if they were forced to launch a counterattack in advance due to my arrival adding an unknown factor to the equation.”

At this thought, Chen Yiming’s gaze turned solemn. He glanced at the ring in his hand, but there was no reaction. Did that mean that there was no danger of death? Or was she afraid to communicate with him at this time?
