Chapter 892: Void Rat
Translator: jinzeffect
“I wonder what kind of person is the Ancient Stone Garden’s owner?”
It might not be the first visit to the Ancient Stone Garden for the exploration team, but the members still couldn’t help getting amazed.
They might all be high-level saint lords or peak level saint lords, but as compared to heaven lords, they were only stronger than an insect.
As for the owner of the Ancient Stone Garden, he was at least a star domain-level heaven lord.
A person like him could create rain with a flip of the hand, and turn a star system into his own garden. There was basically nothing such heaven lords couldn’t do.
The sail ship flew towards the nearest void flower bed with a speed that wasn’t considered too fast nor too slow.
A few hours later, the sail ship landed on a stone path in the void flower bed.
“This flower bed isn’t big. Let’s split up! If there is any situation, contact each other immediately.” The team leader kept the sail ship as he stated.
The exploration team had mobilized many times and without any dangerous situation, everyone would move freely on their own. If they were to move in groups, the rewards would have to be split up. Moving alone would allow them to keep all the discovered treasures.
The void flower bed might not be big, but when over a dozen individuals entered, it was the same as a droplet of water entering a river. They vanished quickly and could only use communication tokens to relay information and their locations.
“The flowers of the Ancient Stone Garden are all heaven cla.s.s herbs. How many are there?”
Along the way, Li Fuchen had yet to see any herb below heaven cla.s.s.
At his cultivation realm, heaven cla.s.s herbs were already considered nothing, but the Ancient Stone Garden had way too many flowers. There were billions of flowers in just one of the void flower beds, let alone the entire Ancient Stone Garden.
Li Fuchen estimated that the number of heaven cla.s.s herbs in the entire Deep Blue Plane was just a fraction as compared to the Ancient Flower Garden. It was simply not worth mentioning.
Li Fuchen originally wanted to harvest all these flowers, but each flower had a restriction. In order to break the restriction, time would be required. Li Fuchen didn’t want to waste time on these regular heaven cla.s.s flowers.
Finally, Li Fuchen found a heaven cla.s.s peak-tier flower.
It was purple in color and had a height of 100 meters. It was covered in purple-gold patterns and gave off an indestructible feeling.
“This heaven cla.s.s peak-tier flower is incredible.” Li Fuchen’s eyes lit up.
Heaven cla.s.s peak-tier herbs were also called apex herbs. It contained the essence of the universe and had various mystical effects.
This purple apex herb was obviously of a higher grade than the apex herbs Li Fuchen obtained on the Deep Blue Plane. It was estimated to be a 2nd rate apex herb.
After spending half a day, Li Fuchen was finally able to break the restrictions on the purple flower.
Swish!
But right at this moment, a purple-gold glimmer flew towards Li Fuchen at rapid speed.
Li Fuchen fixed his eyes and saw that it was a purple gold insect.
Clang!
Li Fuchen sent the purple gold insect flying with a slash.
But the purple gold insect had an extremely tough body. That slash earlier merely left a faint mark on its body. It shook its body in midair before speeding towards Li Fuchen again.
Clang Clang Clang…
A rain of sword lights landed on the purple gold insect, but none of the sword lights were able to break the surface of the purple gold insect’s skin.
“It is very tough.” Li Fuchen praised silently and drew out the Joint-Heaven Sword.
Pfff!
This time, Li Fuchen successfully split the body of the purple gold insect.
Supreme rate weapons were able to ignore defenses to a certain extent. It was useless even if the purple gold insect’s body was tough, unless it had an extremely high level of cultivation and could match the supreme rate weapon, otherwise, it wasn’t possible to resist the attack from a supreme rate weapon.
Of course, if Li Fuchen fought at full strength, he didn’t need the Joint-Heaven Sword to split the body of the purple gold insect. But Li Fuchen didn’t want to go through the trouble.
After splitting the body of the purple gold insect, Li Fuchen waved his hand and uprooted the purple flower. As the flower flew towards Li Fuchen, it was shrinking in size and ultimately became the size of a palm.
After keeping the purple flower, Li Fuchen continued to move forward.
…
Three days later, Li Fuchen obtained a total of five apex herbs.
One 2nd rate apex herb, one 3rd rate apex herb, and three unrated apex herbs.
If all five apex herbs were sold, they would give Li Fuchen at least a few hundred peak-grade spirit stones.
With Li Fuchen’s current wealth, a few hundred peak-grade spirit stones weren’t considered anything, but wealth was something that was acc.u.mulated slowly. How many would be able to earn an inexhaustible wealth at once?
“Sword Saint Lord, what a coincidence.”
On a small path, Li Fuchen encountered one of the three human saint lords in the exploration team, the Stone Ax Saint Lord.
The Stone Ax Saint Lord’s height was close to 2.5 meters and he was carrying a stone ax on his back.
“It is very coincidental indeed.” Li Fuchen smiled.
The Stone Ax Saint Lord was also a peak level saint lord.
In fact, more than half of the exploration team members were peak level saint lords. They all had their own unique skills and at crucial moments, they were able to cause a significant impact.
According to Gulisha, the formation of this exploration team was to explore various dangerous ruins. If any of the members were too weak, they would become a burden.
Ji Ji!
As the duo were greeting each other, an illusory figure suddenly attacked the Stone Ax Saint Lord.
“Get lost.” The Stone Ax Saint Lord used his fist to blast at the illusory figure.
Once the figure landed, the duo saw that it was a black rat that was over a meter long. But the rat’s eyes were like colorful crystals and it seemed to contain layers of s.p.a.ce.
“Be careful, this is a Void Rat.” The Stone Ax Saint Lord gave Li Fuchen a warning.
“Understood.” Li Fuchen nodded.
The Void Rat was a very troublesome lifeform in the Ancient Stone Garden. It contained the void attribute and its body could negate physical forces. Out of the 100% force, only a small trace of force would affect the Void Rat. But the fangs of the Void Rat could bite through any defenses with ease.
The one thing effective against the Void Rat would be void dao attacks. Only void dao attacks would have a full impact on the Void Rat.
Ji Ji!
Possibly sensing that the Stone Ax Saint Lord was stronger, the Void Rat changed its target and attacked Li Fuchen.
Ji!
There was a flash of sword light as the Void Rat was sent flying.
Ji Ji Ji…
The Void Rat was enraged. With a shake of the body, it produced a thousand Void Rats that a.s.saulted Li Fuchen. Each of the Void Rats were illusions that felt they were hiding in another world.
This was clearly the Void Rat’s innate ability.
“Just in time!”
Li Fuchen laughed heartily and there was a burst of sword light that repelled all the Void Rats.
“Such incredible sword art…” The Stone Ax Saint Lord’s eyes lit up.
Li Fuchen’s sword dao was exceptionally perfect and powerful. There were basically no flaws, therefore, it could block the Void Rat’s innate ability with ease. If there was another sword dao saint lord, there would definitely be a trace of flaw and the Void Rat would exploit it.
But it wasn’t that easy to repel the Void Rat, just as the Stone Ax Saint Lord was going to offer a.s.sistance…
“Taste my void sword dao then.”
Li Fuchen didn’t draw the Joint-Heaven Sword.
The Joint-Heaven Sword was a supreme rate weapon and Li Fuchen didn’t wish to expose it to others.
The Void Rat was hard to handle because of its void-like body that negated physical forces. If he used the void sword dao, it would definitely be much easier.
The transparent sword light sliced through the void and as the Void Rat was terrified, its body was pierced through.
Ji Ji!
The Void Rat turned its body into the void and vanished without a trace, it was obviously afraid.
“He is actually adept with the void sword dao too?” The Stone Ax Saint Lord was feeling admiration.
The void dao was an extremely powerful dao. It was also one of the all-purpose dao. In the universe, the time dao and spatial dao were one of the most feared daos. The Time Sand City Lord, Time Sand Heaven Lord was adept at using the primal chaos sand dao. The primal chaos sand dao actually contained time dao too, but it emphasized more on lethality.
