127: Chapter 127 Breaking Through the Core, Devouring 100,000

If the Divine Core was allowed to complete the Origin recovery, the entire fragment would self-destruct in the core area, and the land and mineral veins previously controlled by the legion would also be buried in the Law turbulence together.

"Pull back the traction Formation by a thousand zhang, everyone evacuate the altar range, let the defensive Formation diagram cover the Divine Kingdom Passage, and no one is allowed to use Divine Thought to contact the Divine Core again."

Wang Mu quickly changed his command, the Formation Hall retrieved the remaining Formation Plates, and the Engineering Battalion also began to transport the Grand Commander's corpse and the incomplete blood blade.

The twenty thousand main battle troops retreated in batches according to their battalion numbers, the wounded and trophies crossed the passage first, and the Artillery Battalion stayed behind, always keeping their muzzle aimed at the direction of the Divine Core.

The repulsive force of the dark red Divine Core continuously increased, the residual blood qi within the fragments converged toward the altar, and the cities previously conquered by the legion also collapsed one after another in the distance.

Wang Pingan's Divine Thought fell from the firmament, the golden divine fire penetrated the blood mist, condensing into a hundred-zhang Divine Lord phantom above the White Bone Altar.

As soon as the Divine Lord phantom was formed, the dark red Divine Core took the initiative to launch an impact, and the remaining Tier 3 Laws turned into hundreds of blood veins, drilling toward the interior of the Divine Thought.

Wang Pingan did not let the legion share the pressure; the hundred-zhang phantom raised its right hand, and the Divine Kingdom Origin surged out from the passage, sealing the airspace above the altar.

Pulled by the Divine Kingdom Origin, the dark red Divine Core's surface Law patterns lit up all at once, its repulsive force lifting the altar and throwing the blood river buried underground into the high sky.

The hundred-zhang Divine Lord phantom bent down against the impact of the Laws, its golden palm passing through the rolling blood qi and directly grasping the dark red Divine Core in its palm.

The remaining Tier 3 Laws invaded upward along the palm, dense blood veins appeared on the Divine Lord phantom's arm, and even the golden divine fire was polluted by the blood fiend.

The violent will accumulated inside the Divine Core completely awakened, and the killing intent left behind by the fallen Asura deity rushed into Wang Pingan's Sea of Consciousness, attempting to recapture control of the Divine Core.

Wang Pingan's Divine Thought did not retreat; the time patterns hidden deep within the divine fire unfolded accordingly, covering the Divine Core and the surrounding ten-zhang space.

The authority of the Master of Time pressed toward the palm, the flow rate of time around the Divine Core was forcibly slowed down, and the rushing blood veins consequently lingered on the surface of the golden palm.

In just a breath of the outside world, the interior of the Divine Core had been divided into countless slowly operating Law layers, and the will blended into a whole was gradually dismantled accordingly.

Wang Pingan controlled his Divine Thought to pass through the gaps of the Laws, stripping away the Asura killing intent section by section, and then sending it into the divine fire to be burned away, all without ever touching the pure Origin.

The dark red Divine Core was still vibrating, and the Tier 3 Law instincts continued to counterattack, so the time authority tightened once more, stretching each impact until it was hard to complete.

Wang Mu on the periphery of the altar looked up; the blood light erupted by the Divine Core stopped in the palm of the Divine Lord phantom, and even its diffusion route could be seen clearly.

The remaining Tier 3 Laws consumed quite a bit of Divine Thought, so Wang Pingan did not spend his energy on long-term suppression.

When the last segment of the violent will was stripped away, the blood veins on the surface of the dark red Divine Core lost control, and the power repelling the Divine Kingdom Origin dropped drastically.

Wang Pingan closed his five fingers, and the golden divine fire pressed into the interior along the Law gaps, causing cracks to appear on the fist-sized Divine Core.

The first crack ran through the surface, the Spiritual Veins buried everywhere in the fragments vibrated simultaneously, and one hundred thousand square kilometers of land were pulled by the core.

The second crack continued to spread, the shattered rivers and mountains inside the Divine Core began to disintegrate, and the Origin stored for many years spewed outward from the cracks.

Wang Pingan tightened his five fingers, shattering the dark red Divine Core in the golden divine fire, and the remaining Laws lost their carrier, turning into a large expanse of ownerless Origin.

The vast Origin poured down from above the altar, the traction Formation pre-arranged by Wang Mu was reopened, and nine Formation patterns connected to the Divine Kingdom Passage all at once.

The purified river of Origin poured backward along the Formation patterns, the borders of the Divine Kingdom bore the first round of impact, and eighty thousand square kilometers of territory vibrated simultaneously.

Wang Pingan pressed the Divine Kingdom Origin toward the borders, and three layers of Tier 2 defensive Formation diagrams fell into the Spiritual Veins, stabilizing the junction of the old and new lands that suffered the impact.

Lacking a Divine Core, the fragment's core and incomplete Laws could no longer sustain space, the White Bone Altar collapsed downward from the top, and the blood-bone Formation pillars snapped one after another.

Wang Mu did not let the legion stay any longer, ordering Cultivators to send the command for a full retreat to all camps, and all trophies entered the Divine Kingdom according to a pre-determined order.

The Grand Commander's corpse was dragged into the passage by three hundred Martial Masters, and the incomplete blood blade was wrapped by a nine-layer sealing Formation and sent separately to the isolated warehouse of the Hundred Arts Hall.

Blood essence ores, scarlet blood vine seeds, Asura forging legacies, and Materials recovered from various cities followed closely behind; the Engineering Battalion counted the box numbers, not leaving behind a single batch of supplies.

Two hundred heavy artillery pieces were divided into ten teams to evacuate, and each team vacated its position after passing through the Divine Kingdom Passage so as not to block the wounded transportation route with gun carriages.

Three thousand shield soldiers remained at the very rear of the fragments, the Immovable Wisdom King Army Formation covering the entrance of the passage to block the Law turbulence stirred up by the collapse of the fragments.

The ten outer cities had already sunk into the ground, their mineral veins and river channels detaching from the fragments and turning into streams of Origin light that fell into the Divine Kingdom's borders along the traction Formation.

Large tracts of land were peeled off from the Void Realm, the mountain ranges broke into several sections, and the residual Spiritual Qi, underground mineral Materials, and pure Spiritual Veins were also gradually received by the Divine Kingdom.

Areas deeply polluted by the blood pool were intercepted before the purification Formation, and Wang Pingan did not let the chaotic blood fiend enter the Divine Kingdom, extracting only the Origin that could be reshaped.

The river of Origin crossed the borders of the Divine Kingdom, and the new land spread outward in eight directions; the original mountain ranges were squeezed, and the underground Spiritual Veins also began to find new locations.

After returning to the Divine Kingdom, Wang Mu immediately took over the Spiritual Vein Formation diagrams, and the Formation Hall dispersed to various borders to stabilize the rising peaks and the rerouting rivers.

The Spirit Planting Department evacuated densely populated areas, schools and cities activated protective Formations, and the Hundred Arts Hall closed its furnace fires to prevent Spiritual Qi from going out of control due to changes in the Spiritual Veins.

Wang Shan still refused to rest while lying on a stretcher. Seeing the western plains extending outward, he raised his hand to call over his deputy general, instructing the main battle troops to be ready at any time to participate in suppressing the veins.

The deputy general glanced at his damaged Prison-Suppressing Armor and directly carried the stretcher into the Medical Cultivator Camp. Wang Shan's curses came out from across the camp gate, but no one let him get down to the ground.

The last unit of shield soldiers withdrew from the Asura fragment, and Wang Mu personally retrieved the passage Formation Plate, whereupon the Divine Kingdom entrance closed, isolating the collapsing turbulence outside.

The Asura fragment, having lost its Origin, finally disintegrated; the wasteland, cities, and White Bone Altar fell into spatial rifts, leaving only pure power surging toward the Divine Kingdom.

As the last fragment disintegrated, Wang Pingan's Divine Kingdom territory ushered in another surge; mountains and rivers were reshaped, rivers surged, and an aura of metamorphosis brewed in the firmament.

Inside the mission grand hall of Xinghe University, three large teleportation arrays lit up one after another, their Formation patterns spreading across the ground in all directions. The squad led by Jiang Daoling returned first.

Several freshmen walked out of the array, their battle armors bearing large patches of scorch marks, and several of them carried injuries on their shoulders and backs, yet they still could not suppress the arrogance in their eyes and brows after completing a high-grade mission.

They joined forces to enter a Tier 3 Divine Kingdom fragment of three hundred thousand square kilometers, exhausting their ten-day mission quota, and ultimately seizing one hundred fifty thousand square kilometers of pure Origin.

In the three-hundred-thousand-square-kilometer fragment battlefield, the highest combat strength reached Golden Core and Martial Ancestor. Being able to take half of it had already suppressed the vast majority of Grade A Sequence freshmen.

Jiang Daoling walked at the front of the team, the hem of his outer robe stained with alien blood, holding a high-grade mineral marrow in his hand that had not yet been submitted to the school for verification.

Another detachment led by Qin Zhaoye followed closely behind. The two sides attacked the two wings separately in the same mission, jointly tearing open the fragment core and paying a considerable price for it.

The joint team's legion projection suffered a loss of over thirty percent, seven high-grade war buildings were severely damaged, and the repair costs alone required several thousand points of Divine Power value.

No freshman in the mission grand hall looked down on them. Tier 3 fragments were dangerous to begin with, and being able to bring back one hundred fifty thousand square kilometers of Origin was enough to prove the strength of the two teams.

The deacon in charge of settlement took the mission token and sent the joint team's battle achievements into the school's mainframe. The progress on the central light screen consequently locked at fifty percent.

The golden progress bar spanned across the top of the light screen, with Jiang Daoling and Qin Zhaoye's names listed side by side beneath it, and the settlement figure of one hundred fifty thousand square kilometers suppressed the remaining teams.

The murmur of discussion in the grand hall rose accordingly. Several aristocratic Family scions hailing from the Central Star Domain greeted them first, their words and tone seeking to close the distance and build a relationship.

"Swallowing one hundred fifty thousand square kilometers of Origin in ten days, Brother Jiang's Divine Kingdom area will probably surpass two hundred thousand square kilometers when he goes back this time."

"Brother Qin's blood fiend legion blocked three Golden Core commanders head-on; this battle record, if placed among previous batches of freshmen, is enough to secure a spot in the top five of the rankings."

"The half-year review hasn't even started yet, but most of the positions in the top ten have already been decided. Even if the people behind chase, they can only fight for the remaining few slots."

Several people spoke with a certain tone. The families behind them had resource exchanges with several major clans in the Central Star Domain, so they were naturally willing to take this opportunity to get close to the two top Prodigies.

The higher the ranking on the Freshmen List, the greater the share of resources that could be obtained in the half-year review. Establishing friendship in advance gave one the opportunity to share orders for mineral veins, Spirit Medicines, and war Materials.
