Chapter 529: A war initiated by a single person
The Purgatory World is a chaotic world, there was not orderly civilization and no kingdoms. All the races and beings lived in a loose manner around the strong cities, similar to the Forest of Chaos. Therefore the locals that lived in this place had very low civilization.
The pa.s.sed down books were rare in the Purgatory World and the ones relating to the surface world were very rare. The Purgatory locals didn"t know the existence of the surface world and didn"t know of humans who lived in the surface world.
The dark gnome chieftain was a fierce looking one eyed man. When his saw his subordinates were still discussing it, he was already filled with impatience, "Take a blade and cut it open!"
The dark gnomes were the most famous merchants of the Purgatory World and the group with the greatest inventing ability. They explored various ruins and even the Devil"s Gate itself, extracting many ancient demonic alchemy techniques, so this race that wasn"t strong had a bit of status in the Purgatory World.
Obviously the gnomes were a race that was focused on exploration.
Faced with the unknown, the fully carried on with this spirit.
So what if they didn"t know? There was nothing hard, they would understand just by cutting it open!
The b.u.t.terfly Demons were not happy. That young white female b.u.t.terfly Demon flew out to stop them, "Don"t cut it if you haven"t bought it yet. What if you ruin its value!"
"We have to take a sample back to the alchemy lab to a.n.a.lyze before we know what abilities and what value it has!" The dark gnome revealed a look of impatience, "Otherwise we would make an estimate without knowing anything? Do you even want to sell!"
"Sell, sell, of course we want to sell!" A b.u.t.terfly Demon elder quickly stood up and pulled the white b.u.t.terfly Demon to the side, "Young village head, it"s useless keeping this foreign race here, let them cut it."
The b.u.t.terfly Demon had picked up this foreign race that fell from the clouds and wanted to sell him for some things for the village. If they couldn"t sell him, there was no value keeping him here.
The white b.u.t.terfly Demon was not willing, but had no other choice.
"Don"t waste time, cut off a finger first." The dark gnome leader ordered, "This foreign race"s power is not weak and his skin might quite hard, so cutting off a hand would be troublesome."
"Yes"!
A gnome drew out a Black Diamond Blade and walked over.
The blade was black like jade, with a faint golden glow over it. It was made out of a material called Black Diamond, it was ten times stronger than normal diamond and it had a destruction attribute attached to it. When a normal weapon was made, just a small bit of it could allow it to cut iron like mud. Was there a need to mention a blade made completely out of Black Diamond?
The little fox laid in a corner with an aloof, uncaring manner, as a mischievous look flashed in its eyes.
The dark gnome chose a finger and raised the blade, cutting down!
Kuang!
The Black Diamond Blade shattered like gla.s.s and fragments fell in every direction. The black gnome didn"t have time to guard against the fragment and each Black Diamond fragment was incomparably hard. It was like piercing paper as it pierced through him, killing him on the spot with a pitiful cry.
What just happened!
Everyone was stunned!
How sharp is the Black Diamond Blade?
This blade didn"t even make a single mark on his skin and rather the blade itself shattered.
This foreign race"s physique was actually this strong! Perhaps it wasn"t even inferior to the dragon races!
Whether it was the b.u.t.terfly Demons or the gnomes, no one suspected it was a defensive cultivation technique. This was because when a person wasn"t conscious, no matter how strong their spirit energy or cultivation technique was, it was all no use.
How could the Purgatory b.u.mpkins know? When the Starlight Immortal Body reached the Perfection Realm, it didn"t need to be activated. When any spot was injured, the Starlight Immortal Body would automatically guard the user. The second the Black Diamond Blade came down and the blade made contact with his skin, a layer of starlight shattered it.
The b.u.t.terfly Demons were pleasantly surprised.
They found a treasure!
They found a treasure!
This foreign race"s body was even harder than Black Diamond, would it be cheaper than Black Diamond of the same volume? Even if it was Black Diamond being sold, it would be a large fortune!
"It"s actually this strong?" The gnome leader took out a blade with demonic curses inscribed over it, "Humph, I don"t believe that this Demon Hunting Blade can"t cut you!"
The gnome leader mumbled while holding the blade.
The blade"s curse runes began to glow and it released a strong energy wave. The blade fell down at the foreign race"s arm.
The Starlight Immortal Body was released again.
The faint starlight and the tip of the blade collided.
The dark gnome leader felt like his blade was. .h.i.tting invulnerable dragon scale and a large rebound force filled his wrist with pain. Not only did it not break Chu Tian"s defense this time, it did something that no one would have thought of.
Flames began to appear from Chu Tian!
Flames of death and flames that could destroy everything!
"This is bad!"
The dark gnome leader quickly moved back, but the surrounding gnomes were not lucky enough. The Netherworld Flame scattered to little bits and instantly turned into flames like coming into contact with oil. The flames instantly swallowed everything and burned until nothing was left.
This foreign race person could release flames?
Who had every see a flame that could burn a gnome away without leaving any ashes?
This flame was definitely not an ordinary flame. Just this flame power was enough to give it limitless value.
The foreign race person was unconscious and could defend and counterattack, this was rare to find on any creature. This living being had such strong powers, it could even compare to giant dragons!
"One thousand dark crystals!" The dark gnome leader gave his price, "I want this creature!"
A thousand dark crystals was a giant amount for the b.u.t.terfly Demons village!
Each b.u.t.terfly Demon revealed looks of joy!
"Wait!" That white b.u.t.terfly Demon village chief came out, "This foreign race is this strong, just a trivial thousand dark crystals is too little!"
"The b.u.t.terfly Demons do not have the qualification to bargain with me. A thousand dark crystals is already a very generous price."
"No, we can"t accept this value."
"You dare reject me? Now there"s only eight hundred!" The dark gnome coldly looked at the white b.u.t.terfly Demon and said, "You better think clearly about what to say before I become angry!"
A single sentence took away two hundred dark crystals.
This loss was really too much.
The white b.u.t.terfly Demon firmly said, "We"re not selling this foreign race, you can leave!"
The other b.u.t.terfly Demons revealed anxious looks. How could this be, was the village chief crazy?"
"So many of my subordinates died and you"re not selling!" The dark gnome chief became enraged, "Are you playing me? The gnomes are not easy to offend!"
"Humph, one thousand or eight hundred is just money for beggars? Although we b.u.t.terfly Demons aren"t strong, we aren"t that easy to trick!" The white b.u.t.terfly Demon reb.u.t.ted, "The b.u.t.terfly Demons will compensate your loss, but we won"t sell this foreign race. Please leave!"
The dark gnome leader was about to explode.
The white b.u.t.terfly Demon snorted and several b.u.t.terfly Demon came forward.
The Purgatory World locals grew up in chaotic battles, so even the weak b.u.t.terfly Demons were not easy to bully.
"Good, very good. Just wait and see!"
The dark gnome was filled with rage, but this was still the b.u.t.terfly Demon Village and there were only b.u.t.terfly Demons around. Trying to save face was too much of a loss. It was better to leave this place first and gather the troops as soon as possible, sweeping through the b.u.t.terfly Demon village, stealing that precious and mysterious foreign race!
The b.u.t.terfly Demon saw the gnome leave and he said with a heavy heart, "The gnome"s surrounding influence is not small. Now that we have offended them, the gnomes will not willingly give this up. I"m afraid this won"t have any benefits to us."
"The elder can be a.s.sured!" The white b.u.t.terfly Demon was filled with excitement and joy, "This time we definitely found a treasure. Before the gnomes come back, we"ll go to Darkness City. As long as we sell this at the auction in Darkness City, our entire village will become rich!"
"Is this creature really that valuable?"
"Although I don"t know what he is, his body is invulnerable and he has all kinds of special abilities, this is comparable to a dragon or a great demon. If a dragon were to be placed in the auction, how much would it be worth? Could it be it wouldn"t be enough for our little village to get rich off?"
"That"s right. As long as we exchange for enough dark crystals, we can live in Darkness City. Would we need to fear retaliation from the dark gnomes at that time?"
The b.u.t.terfly Demons let go of the worry in their hearts.
This was an once in a hundred year chance!
How could they easily let it go? They had to grab it in their hands!"
The white b.u.t.terfly Demon prepared as quickly as possible, mobilizing a thousand warriors as guards out of the several thousand population. The dark gnome could come back at any moment, so they had to move as quickly as possible.
The white b.u.t.terfly Demon"s prepared team set off. b.u.t.terfly Demon had the ability to fly, so they decided to travel through the air. Like this, the risks of being obstructed or meeting trouble would be reduced.
When the team was about to leave the forest valley.
"This is bad!"
A group of Green Demons appeared to the east!"
A group of strange ugly creatures were gathered there. They were around two meters tall and their skin were green. They had very strong bodies, like strengthened versions of goblins, but they had long demon tails. Their weapons were wolf fang sticks or war hammers.
Green Demons, a low grade demon.
Although their demon bloodline was not strong, there were many of them. They had innate strength and hard skin, they were a very cruel race.
The white b.u.t.terfly Demon quickly responded, "You have reached the border! This is the b.u.t.terfly Demon"s territory!"
"Hei, hei, hei, don"t be that angry! I"ve heard that the b.u.t.terfly Demon"s village has found a treasure!" The big leading Green Demon revealed a greedy look, "Since the treasure fell in the forest, it belongs to each race in the forest. What are you b.u.t.terfly Demons secretly taking it for? How about you take it out and give everyone a portion."
The b.u.t.terfly Demons were seething with rage.
But without waiting for the b.u.t.terfly Demons to respond.
"That"s right!"
There was a black line on a mountain not far away as several hundred tall figures appeared. These creatures looked like Minotaurs, but they were uglier and they had horns on their heads. Horned Demons!
Not only the b.u.t.terfly Demons, even the faces of the Green Demons sunk.
The Green Demon leader roared, "What are you doing here?"
"Ha, ha, ha." The Horned Demon leader arrogantly said, "What do you think?"
The Green Demons and Horned Demons had not arrived long when a large black figure appeared in the sky. There was a group of winged and beaked creatures that appeared. They were Winged Demons!
One could guess what was happening even if they used their feet.
The dark gnomes didn"t have time to go back and forth, so they stirred the nearby powers first and make them fight first. They were stalling for time like this? d.a.m.n!
The Purgatory World locals were very sensitive about territory, so their territory being invaded was a giant challenge and great shame.
The b.u.t.terfly Demons were enraged, "Alright, since you want to fight, we"ll see who lives in the end!"
A war was about to begin.
The Purgatory World was just like this, any single reason could be the spark for a war. This was something that could happen each day, it was even more chaotic than the Forest of Chaos!
