Giving Gifts One After Another

The demonic cultivators had yet to be dealt with, and now so many other alien races had been drawn here as well. Truly, the world was unpredictable.

Mo Tianxiao could understand it. A battle of this scale made an enormous commotion. Even with their divine senses blocked, the surrounding alien races could still locate the source through sound alone and hurry over to join the excitement.

“Wait! The ore vein below has been completely emptied!”

“How is that possible? How could such a massive ore vein have been mined out?”

“It was the demons!”

At this moment, a cultivator from the Profound Nether Python race shouted, “It must have been the demons who mined all the ore! They broke the rules. Our people were surrounded and attacked by several demons earlier!”

“That’s right! Our people also ran into demonic cultivators earlier and nearly had their spatial rings snatched away. The Demon Origin Star Ore here must have fallen into their hands!”

“Hmph! Hand over the Demon Origin Star Ore, or don’t blame us for showing no mercy!”

Nearly several hundred alien cultivators had been drawn here by the commotion, including quite a few familiar faces.

“Why waste time talking to these bastards? Just take it by force!”

Mo Xingtian charged out from the Feather Spirit race’s formation and headed straight for the demons being besieged by the remnant spirits.

He did not even spare the surrounding remnant spirits a glance. His only target was the Demon Origin Star Ore.

“Brother Xingtian is right. Why waste words on those demonic scum? Let’s attack together!”

Man Kui led several cultivators from the Savage Dragon race into the battle as well. There was nothing to discuss when it came to the demons. Their reputation was, after all, truly terrible.

“Miss Liya, what should we do? Should we join the battle?” Chris looked at Liya and asked.

Judging from the size of the ore vein below, one could imagine how vast the amount of crystal ore it contained must be. If the demonic cultivators truly took all of it away, then given the demons’ nature, there would probably be no peace in this universe.

Liya knitted her brows slightly. She was somewhat surprised by the number of demonic cultivators, but what surprised her even more at the moment were the remnant spirits.

“Have you noticed that the remnant spirits here are somewhat different?” Liya stared gravely at the densely packed spirits in the distance, unable to make sense of it.

Chris had noticed it as well. “These remnant spirits seem to possess intelligence, and they’re far stronger than the ones we encountered before.”

“Wait! Is that… a remnant spirit at the Half-Step Ruler Realm?”

Chris stared wide-eyed, as if he could not believe what he was seeing.

Amid the densely packed spirits, he had vaguely caught sight of a massive and imposing figure that was clearly a level above the others.

If he had not guessed wrong, that being possessed combat strength comparable to the Half-Step Ruler Realm. Such an existence was extremely dangerous even for a cultivator like him, who had reached the peak of the Dao-Proving Realm.

The surrounding alien races could no longer hold themselves back. They launched attacks on the demons while also planning to eliminate the remnant spirits nearby.

Liya, however, remained still and calmly said, “Don’t act rashly. Observe the situation first.”

The Profound Nether Python race made the same choice. Xuan Bingji’s ice-blue eyes were fixed on the vast number of remnant spirits in the distance. Her gaze swept constantly across the surroundings, searching for the figure of that human.

These things were not remnant spirits at all, but that human’s methods! There was no way she could mistake them.

At the thought of this, Xuan Bingji’s expression gradually became complicated. That human had actually dared to face so many demonic cultivators alone…

Could he have done it to avenge her?

“Don’t think I’ll change my opinion of you just because you did this…”

Xuan Bingji muttered softly. She did not even notice that the corners of her lips were slowly curling upward. Her usually cold and beautiful face seemed to melt like an iceberg, leaving her breathtakingly beautiful. Unfortunately, no one noticed.

Realizing that something was wrong with herself, Xuan Bingji immediately returned to her usual calm expression. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, a trace of hesitation flickering in her cold eyes.

“Bingji, you noticed that something was wrong too, didn’t you?”

Liya came over to Xuan Bingji and found her spacing out. Curious, she asked, “Bingji, what’s wrong?”

“Huh? Nothing. I was just wondering what’s going on with these remnant spirits.”

Liya crossed her arms and nodded in agreement. “So you noticed it too. These remnant spirits really are strange. One of them even possesses strength comparable to the Half-Step Ruler Realm. We’d better not attack recklessly.”

“Ahhh!”

At that moment, shrieks that chilled the marrow rang out one after another.

Without exception, every alien cultivator who had entered the Soul-Refining Array instantly became a target of the remnant spirits’ attacks.

“Kill these bastards! Take their treasures and offer them to Boss!”

“Time for an extra meal! We didn’t expect so many weaklings to come along. What a bunch of fools who don’t know their own limits!”

The numerous remnant-spirit brothers showed no mercy to the alien races.

When Elder Yun saw the cultivators from the Savage Dragon race enter, he immediately redirected the attack and led a vast army of remnant spirits to surround and attack them.

Mo Xingtian was also treated as a priority target. Before he could even fight the demons, he was already surrounded by a large number of remnant spirits.

“Tch. They’re nothing but remnant spirits. What can they possibly do to me?”

“Pff!”

The instant he finished speaking, Mo Xingtian was struck by a powerful claw. His divine soul suffered a grievous wound, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was instantly filled with pain and disbelief.

“A divine-soul attack! A remnant spirit at the Half-Step Ruler Realm!?”

The terrifying attack pierced straight through his Five-Element Treasure Body and struck directly at his divine soul. If he had not cultivated the power of five different laws, allowing them to complement one another and granting him strength far beyond that of other mid-stage Dao-Proving Realm cultivators, then this casual strike from the Half-Step Ruler Realm remnant spirit would likely have taken his life.

Without a second thought, Mo Xingtian immediately retreated, wanting to escape.

However, how could the surrounding remnant spirits allow him to flee so easily? Anyone who looked down on their boss had already courted death. Someone like that absolutely could not be allowed to live!

“Hehehe, come into our arms like a good little boy!”

“Damn it!”

Mo Xingtian’s expression turned ugly. If these damn ghosts latched onto him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A hint of pain flashed across his face. Gritting his teeth, he threw out a top-tier treasure. In the next instant, the treasure exploded like a firework, blasting the surrounding space into nothingness and instantly annihilating the remnant spirits closing in on him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Xingtian fled at full speed and returned to the Feather Spirit race’s formation. His face was pale, clearly showing that the attack on his divine soul had been extremely severe. Otherwise, he would not have decisively sacrificed a top-tier treasure.

Liya, standing nearby, was somewhat gleeful at his misfortune. That fellow truly deserved it.

Mo Xingtian was not the only one who noticed that something was wrong. The other alien races discovered it as well.

“Damn it! Those cursed demons set us up!”

“Everyone, retreat! Something’s wrong with these remnant spirits!”

All the alien races realized that the situation was abnormal. However, escaping the siege of so many remnant spirits was far from easy.

The Savage Dragon race was in an even worse predicament. Because Elder Yun had given them special attention, they were being surrounded by one Half-Step Ruler Realm remnant spirit and dozens of Dao-Proving Realm remnant spirits. They had no chance of escaping at all.

“What a bumper harvest…”

Within the black mist, Mo Tianxiao was clearly at ease. He truly had not expected these alien races to line up and deliver resources straight to him.

But… that woman, Xuan Bingji, wouldn’t expose his identity, would she?
