âStop killing the traitors and gather all the treasures! You only have ten breathsâ time. You must be quick!â shouted Long Chen.
After giving that order, Long Chen took out formation discs. There were over a thousand of them, and he placed them according to a certain arrangement.
âŠ
âThe grand formation was broken with a single attack?! How can that be?! That formation doesnât look weaker than our Celestial Essence Sectâs grand formation at all!â
âHeavens, theyâre attacking the military forging area of the Luo clan? How did they find it?â
âThe main thing is that even if they found it, how did they manage to transport themselves there like this?â
When they saw Long Chen and the others break through the formation and directly attack the Luo clanâs forging land, everyone within the Celestial Essence Domain was dumbfounded.
âI understand! The Luo clan suddenly retreated because they received a distress signal from there!â exclaimed the patriarch of the Celestial Essence Sect.
Everyone nodded at that. They felt a wave of admiration for Long Chen.
âBut how did Long Chen know that the Luo clan would suddenly attack? How did he grasp the timing so perfectly?â
Countless gazes looked at Xue Yifan, who then shook his head with a bitter smile. âDonât look at me. Iâve left everything to dean Long Chen. He doesnât need to discuss anything with me, so I donât know anything about it. All I know is that if youâre going to use someone, donât doubt them, and if you doubt someone, donât use them. Since Iâve chosen to trust him, I trust him fully. Although I havenât done anything big in this lifetime, I have some confidence in my vision. I also feel great admiration for the High Firmament Academyâs dean Bai Letian. If he can trust Long Chen, then thereâs no need for me to doubt him. Right now, I am just a spectator. I donât need to manage anything and can just enjoy the show.â
Hearing that, everyone was even more shocked. This far-too-brazen youngsterâs methods were truly astonishing.
They fell silent and continued watching the starry river warriors slaughter the traitors. While watching this, the resentment that had been accumulating within their hearts felt lighter.
âHeavens, there are so many treasures!â
When they saw Long Chen split apart the mountain, revealing all the treasures, everyoneâs eyes reddened.
Even the likes of Xue Yifan, the Celestial Essence Sectâs patriarch, and the other half-step Divine Venerates let out a silent sigh when they saw that.
Standing at their height, they no longer felt much toward these items. But to other cultivators, this kind of allure was fatal.
Back in the Hongying era, in the end, people lost to their greed. If the human race had really won, it was unknown if they would have turned against each other and slaughtered their fellow humans just for a better percentage of those resources.
The elders exchanged glances and shook their heads. The human race might be able to defeat their fierce and powerful enemies, but most of the time, they lost to their greed.
âŠ
The hundred thousand starry river warriors collapsed on the treasury, sweeping all the treasures away. It was like they were licking it clean. Even the windows and door frames were torn off, let alone the doorposts and stairs.
In any case, they were all made out of metal and were valuable, so these robbers didnât leave anything behind. Even Long Chen was dumbfounded.
âDamn, your methods really are professional. I didnât teach you these things,â said Long Chen.
âHehe, weâre just self-made geniuses. This is our natural talent,â chortled one starry river warrior with a pleased expression.
âEveryone, get in the transportation formation. Weâre leaving.â Long Chen directed everyone into the formation he had set up with the discs.
âBoss, you really are a divine strategist. You prepared everything.â Guo Ran and the others couldnât help prostrating themselves toward Long Chen when they saw him set up their escape route in the short time it took them to clean out the treasures.
âDivine strategist my ass. This was all prepared by the dean. Put away your armors. Donât let your auras fluctuate too badly, or it will affect the formation,â ordered Long Chen.
Just then, they heard rumbling in the distance. Everyone was startled and hastily looked over.
After that, Long Chen activated the formation, and over a thousand formation discs lit up at the same time. The starry river warriors were enveloped by a thousand rays of divine light. Space then shuddered and all of them vanished, leaving behind only the fragments of the formation discs.
Just as they vanished, the void rumbled and seven Qingying Battleships tore through the void. However, they were one step too late. They didnât even manage to get a look at the robbersâ shadows. They only saw ruins.

âAHH! Our stronghold!â
An elder let out a heart-rending scream when he saw the wreckage that was once their powerful base.
It had to be known that this stronghold was built with a huge amount of the Luo clanâs blood and sweat.
There were countless formations carved under the stronghold, costing a huge amount of manpower and financial resources. But this stronghold was now completely wrecked and the treasures were stolen. The Luo clanâs battle armors and battleships no longer even had a place to be repaired when they were damaged.
It had to be known that the Alldevil Star-Fieldâs battleships and battle armors constantly used up resources. After every large battle, many damaged components needed to be repaired. Even if they didnât need specific repairs, they had to be taken good care of to maintain peak combat power.
With this stronghold destroyed, they had lost the place for the maintenance of their equipment. Once their battleships were damaged, they wouldnât be able to use them again. This meant that their battle potential would plummet the longer they fought. This move of Long Chenâs had truly struck them where it hurt.
âThe heavens are about to change. Weâre doomed.â That elder of the Luo clan was as pale as a sheet of paper. He was terrified.
âItâs not that grave, is it? We still have eighteen Qingying Battleships, a hundred thousand offensive battleships, and thirty thousand defensive battleships. We still have an overwhelming advantage,â said another elder uncomprehendingly.
Although this stronghold was destroyed, which was most definitely a shocking and alarming matter, he felt that the despair in that elderâs eyes was overstating it. Even without this stronghold, they didnât have anything to fear.
âWhat do you know?! The Alldevil race is only willing to let us mine the resources here because they want to defeat the human race effortlessly. Theyâre using us, while we are also using them. But now that weâve lost this stronghold, we donât have any further supplies. Weâll grow weaker and weaker. When we start fighting a direct battle against the human race, the Alldevil race will not hesitate to make their move. They might just wipe all of us out together!â raged the elder.
The other elder sucked in a cold gasp of air. He hadnât thought that far. The only reason that the Alldevil race had chosen to cooperate with them was to defeat the human race without having to lift a finger. This was their agreement. The Luo clan would unify the Alldevil Star-Field for the Alldevil race, and then all the resources here would belong to the Luo clan.
However, the condition was that the Alldevil race would win without mobilizing a single fighter. They only left these devil beasts to the Luo clan to direct.
If the Luo clan failed to accomplish their task, then their agreement would be void. After that, the Alldevil race would slaughter them as well, and it wouldnât count as breaking their oath.
According to the Alldevil raceâs violent character, they really might just destroy them all. Then the Alldevil race would be the only winner. There would no longer be a human race in the Alldevil Star-Field.
The rest of the Luo clanâs battleships only arrived at this time. Those battleships simply couldnât compare to the Qingying Battleships.
Suddenly, that elderâs tablet began to flash rapidly. He jumped in terror.
