“That is...”
The four were instantly attracted by the huge movement, and saw a massive wave being kicked up in the distance, and amidst the raging waves, a red behemoth was darting through it.
It had massive wings and menacing dragon horns, with crimson scales and stout legs, alongside a strong and majestic body.
With only a glance, the four could tell that it was the same as the dragon monster from earlier on, but many times larger.
The dragon monster earlier was about 50 meters long, but this dragon monster was at least 500 meters long.
It was like an aircraft carrier, gliding across the boiling and raging magma as it quickly darted towards them at extreme speed.
“This guy...”
A grim look appeared in Ling Jiu’s eyes as he immediately grabbed Bai Ya and the other two as he quickly moved them towards a higher place.
The 50-meter-long dragon monster was already terrifying enough, and now this one was ten times larger in size, how terrifying would it be then?
Ling Jiu had no confidence in dealing with it, so he placed Bai Ya and the others somewhere safe first.
After bringing the three towards an altitude of several thousand meters, and then hiding in the Dimensional Sea did Ling Jiu relaxed as he looked at the dragon monster.
*ROAR!!!*
The dragon monster appeared below as it stared at Ling Jiu with cold, indifferent eyes, as a tyrannical glint flashed past its eyes.
The next moment, it opened its mouth wide and let out a terrifying roar, the rolling sound wave erupted, creating waves of ripples.
And something shocking happened.
Where the sound wave passed, the void shattered like fragile glass as a massive black hole directly appeared in the void.
“A stellar lifeform!”
“It is definitely a stellar lifeform!”
Ling Jiu’s had goosebumps all over his scalp and immediately took Bai Ya and the others into the distance at greatest speed, fearing that any slower will see them end up as the monster’s snack.
Ling Jiu had seen Emperor Might tear through space with his own eye and knew that a stellar lifeform’s attacks could seemingly tear through space.
The attack of the dragon before him was no longer as simple as ripping space apart, it was completely obliterating it.
So, how powerful was it?
Run!
Gotta run fast!
They fled at top speed and after running for who knows how far and was sure that the dragon monster did not pursue them did Ling Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and let the three down.
“Finally managed to throw it off.”
Ling Jiu smiled bitterly. “What the hell is going on with this planet? Why did it give birth to such a terrifying creature?”
“For its roar alone to shatter the space, this is definitely a monster beyond the Tenth-Order!”
Even Niu Ben was soaked in cold sweat. “Thankfully we ran fast enough, or else we would have died. It was really dangerous just now!”
“It seems like the Dimension Arcana is not totally invincible.”
Bai Ya frowned at Ling Jiu. “My dear, don’t be so arrogant in the future, lest you throw yourself into a dangerous place!”
“Understood!”
Ling Jiu nodded slightly and then looked around. They had been fleeing all the way and had no idea where they had run to, yet it was nothing but boiling magma sea beneath them.
“Let’s go, let’s head down to have a look.”
Ling Jiu smiled and said. “Let’s look around, maybe we can find that sort of crystal again!”
“Is there no danger?”
After encountering the dragon monster earlier, Niu Ben was slightly traumatized.
“Don’t worry, I have a life sign detector here, and it will sound an alarm should a lifeform approaches!” Ling Jiu smiled.
“A Life sign detector?”
The eyes of the three lit up. “Wth the life sign detector, we can any monster’s approach in advance, and that is indeed much safer!”
“But...”
Niu Ben said. “Before we start looking for the crystals, I think there’s a need to ascertain their value, or else if they are worth nothing, then wouldn’t we be putting in so much effort for nothing?”
“Brother Niu, you mean...”
Ling Jiu looked at Niu Ben.
“Brother Ling, I want to go back to the camp first, and get the camp commandant to help appraise it.”
Niu Ben put forward his suggestion.
“Fair enough!”
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. Although he felt that the fiery red crystal was of great value, he did not want to work for nothing, so there was indeed a need to appraise it first.
“Let’s go back then!”
Ling Jiu sensed the Dimension Mark and returned to the wormhole.
At this moment, there were no one around the wormhole, and they did not know if the people there had already got searching deep into the planet or had exited the wormhole, but there was no longer anyone there.
The four returned to Mars.
Bai Ya and Niu Miao stood guard at the front of the wormhole while Ling Jiu and Niu Ben headed to the Matriculation Camp.
“Why are the both of you here?”
Seeing Ling Jiu and Niu Ben, the camp commandant was a little surprised. “Didn’t you two entered Wormhole 13? Back so soon?”
“Commandant, we have a discovery!”
Niu Ben spoke about the planet on the other side of Wormhole 13 and then took out the fiery red crystal.
The camp commandant took the crystal and had a look as his expression changed drastically. As he looked at the two, he asked. “You found this on that planet?”
“Yes!”
The two nodded.
“I did not expect that this planet also had such a thing. Unbelievable!”
The camp commandant said to himself as his expression became more and more complicated, seemingly excited, shocked and joyful at the same time...
In short, it was indescribable.
“Commandant, do you recognize this thing?”
Niu Ben noticed the camp commandant’s expression and asked tentatively.
“I won’t be able to explain everything in a short time, but I can tell you that if it was to be categorized, it would be a stellar-level treasure of heaven and earth!”
The camp commandant’s voice was calm, yet his every words were astonishing. “It has a huge effect even for Arcanists beyond Level 10!”
A stellar-level treasure of heaven and earth?
For this level, Niu Ben was completely dumbfounded, but he understood the words clearly. “Commandant, you’re saying... that this crystal is useful for Arcanists beyond Level 10?”
“Yes!”
The camp commandant nodded slightly. “As for its specific usage, someone will naturally tell you once you are a Level 10 being, but it is still too early now.”
“Understood, sir!”
Niu Ben nodded immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the two took the crystal back and returned to Mars.
“Brother Ling, you heard that? We’re rich! We’re rich!”
On the way back to Wormhole 13, Niu Ben was so excited it looked like he was juiced up. “A treasure of heaven and earth that is useful for Arcanists beyond Level 10!”
“And I guess only we know this news, and that is to say, we now occupy the advantage of knowing first.”
“Also, that is an extremely hostile planet, and aside from us, it will be difficult for others to survive there, let alone getting their hands on the crystals!”
“That means no one will be fighting with us for it...”
After getting back to Wormhole 13, and when Niu Ben told the news to Bai Ya and Niu Miao, the two girls were as excited as he was.
As a result, the four returned to the planet and came above the magma sea as they started looking for the fiery red crystal.
“The depth of this magma sea is only about ten meters or so, so it’s not very deep, and these fiery red crystals are quite heavy, I guess they should be deposited at the bottom of the magma sea.”
Ling Jiu said. “So, I’ll be in charge of moving the magma away, Bai Ya and Brother Niu will be in charge of looking for the crystals, and Sister Niu has Earth-element Arcana so you will be in charge of picking them up.”
“Okay!”
The three answered immediately.
A thought appeared in Ling Jiu’s mind.
The magma below them instantly moved apart in all directions, and a moment later, it was an empty area as a scorched land was revealed.
Bai Ya and the Niu siblings looked on the ground and saw nothing.
“Let’s change spot!”
Ling Jiu changed to a different spot.
“There seems to be a piece there!”
“Where?”
Niu Ben and Niu Miao shouted at the same time.
“Over there!”
Bai Ya pointed and the Niu siblings immediately turned to where she was pointing to, and sure enough they saw a red-colored rock.
“Rise!”
With a grasp of her hand, the rock flew into the air and she caught it in her hands. Looking at this smaller but similar rock to the fiery red crystal, Niu Ben and Niu Miao were elated. “We found them; we found the first piece!”
“If there is a first piece, there will be a second one!”
Ling Jiu said. “Let’s continue!”
...
Just like that, the four worked together as they searched. When they were tired, they rested, had something to eat, and then continued on.
Of course, during the whole process, Ling Jiu did not forget to swallow magma to expand his Inner World. To him, the entire planet was a holy ground for cultivation.
And just like that, 24 hours had passed, and on earth, this was a whole day, yet this planet did not seem to alternate between day and night, or their day is extraordinarily long.
After 24 hours, this area still shows no signs of turning black.
Although it was not dark, the four of them were exhausted and needed a rest.
So, the four left the magma sea and returned to the dark side of the planet. The temperature here was only a 110 degrees Celsius, and they could rest as much as possible.
After a while, a sumptuous meal was served as Niu Ben opened a rare bottle of red wine of 2020 vintage and poured everyone a glass.
“We’ve found a total of five fiery red crystals today. If anything, today’s harvest is great! So, let us toast to that!”
“Cheers!”
Ling Jiu and the other two also picked up their wine glasses.
“This is a stellar level treasure of heaven and earth, and I’ve just checked through a special channel that anything above the Ultimate treasure of heaven and earth are called stellar treasure of heaven and earth.”
Niu Ben was very excited. “Every stellar treasure of heaven and earth is worth millions of contribution points, and that is to say, we have had a net profit of 5 million contribution points a day today!”
“So, let us have another toast!”
“Cheers!”
Everyone was happy.
5 million contribution points, with an average of a million contribution points per person, this was definitely not a small number.
If one were to buy Ultimate treasures of heaven and earth worth a 100 thousand contribution points, then one could buy 10 of them, and that was a great increase in strength.
Ling Jiu was also very happy. Although Ultimate treasure of heaven and earth like the Gene Arcana Strengthening Elixir was useless to him, the other treasures were still useful.
In particular, the categorization of the stellar treasure of heaven and earth made Ling Jiu very curious. What sort of nice treasures did the humanity top-echelon had?
“What’s the stellar treasure of heaven and earth you guys were talking about?”
Just as the four were drinking, a suspicious voice suddenly sounded inside the airship.
Ling Jiu frowned slightly and saw there was another person inside the airship. He had not sensed this person’s approach just now, indicating that this person had appeared suddenly using teleportation or some other means!
“Alexis !!!”
After hearing the voice Niu Ben and Niu Miao involuntarily shuddered as they immediately turned around and looked at the newcomer with a bitter look.
“I’ll ask again, what is the deal with the Stellar-class treasure of heaven and earth?”
The newcomer put away his Venom Suit, revealing a brown-skinned face. It was a recognizable face.
