390: Cataclysmic Garden

"Zhang Huai, do you think there are still people in the Cosmos who can freely enter and exit the Calamity Chaos?"

Ye Su asked.

Zhang Huai was taken aback, then pondered for a moment before saying;

"With the departure of the Supreme Experts, some Calamity Aura has gained the possibility of homogenization, allowing entry and exit to the Calamity Chaos."

Zhang Huai was merely phrasing it in a way Ye Su could understand.

In fact,

In the past, with a Supreme Expert behind the Calamity Chaos, His Authority would envelop the entire Calamity Chaos. Who could enter, who would die, was all decided by a single thought.

However, the Supreme Experts gradually left.

Then the Calamity Chaos became like a program running autonomously.

Those possessing Calamity Aura could enter and exit at will.

For example, Ye Su, who has the White Head Great Profound Scripture.

For example, Lu Yiyi, on whom Ye Su left the aura of the White Head Great Profound Scripture.

And then there are those like Zhang Huai, who follow another system entirely, compatible with the Calamity Chaos, not only able to enter and exit but also treat it as their home ground.

Then.

There are certain deeply hidden individuals within the Calarmity Mercenary Group.

Because they too know how to utilize Calamity Aura.

However, they dare not reveal themselves now. Once they do, the entire Cosmos would be in an uproar.

The Star Spirit Clan, to protect Lu Yiyi's interests, might very well resort to assassination.

Finally.

There are the owners of calamity battle armor.

'Damn it, if I had known there would be this loophole here, I should have tricked that Ascension Five to his death before going to the North Star Sector...'

Ye Su thought to himself.

Actually, not entirely.

If that Ascension Five had been tricked to his death and entered the Calamity Chaos back then, it would have greatly diminished Ye Su's value.

Later, when encountering the Mother Queen and attempting to deceive her, the Zerg would have intervened and crushed him.

One can only say, every action has its consequence, governed by Karma.

Now.

They must rely on Zhang Huai's home-ground advantage.

To see if that guy has entered the Calamity Chaos.

Once they discover he's inside, cut him down immediately.

'But it's ultimately a scam.'

'Once the Cosmos initiates another cataclysm exploration, they'll discover the Calamity Chaos has changed, and Lu Yiyi's status will collapse instantly.'

'Zhang Huai is strong, but he's only one person. Once the Cosmos discovers that maintaining the Calamity Chaos rests on a single individual, he too will face being surrounded and killed.'

'Indeed, the departure of the Supreme Experts has left behind a complete mess.'

'Chaos is beginning to manifest gradually.'

Ye Su thought to himself.

He originally thought the Yanhuang Clan was developing rapidly.

Yet, he never imagined that even this speed was insufficient in the face of the current situation.

"Then we'll need you to work a bit harder, to find those attempting to sneak into the Calamity Chaos."

Ye Su said.

Zhang Huai nodded.

And began bustling about in a flurry.

The uncontrollable nature of the situation was beginning to show.

Not long after.

Lu Yiyi entered.

"Ye Su, the situation seems a bit off."

Lu Yiyi said;

"In the new round of sacrificial demands, the Calamity Mercenary Group is clearly refusing."

"They seem to have new ideas."

Indeed.

The Calamity Mercenary Group was already starting to bare its fangs.

Among them, there should be someone who has entered the Calamity Chaos.

"Zhang Huai."

"Don't rush, I'm looking..."

Zhang Huai said.

The next second;

"Found it!"

Then, he directly teleported with Ye Su and Lu Yiyi.

At the dome of a Grass Grid World.

A shadow transformed into a gray airflow was hidden within.

Ye Su and Lu Yiyi attacked immediately.

It was merely an Ascension Three, no need for Zhang Huai to intervene. Besides, Zhang Huai couldn't act casually either.

Whoosh--- The two of them charged forward explosively.

The gray airflow shadow was first startled, then turned and fled.

But.

How fast was Ye Su?

In an instant, he intercepted it.

"As expected, this is a scam!"

The shadow revealed its true form; it was indeed a member of the Calamity Mercenary Group.

"You are... Ye Su!"

Indeed, he shouted Ye Su's name;

"That's right, you are Ye Su, one of those who obtained calamity battle armor back then."

"You and Lu Yiyi conspired to create this scam, right!"

"The so-called sacrifices are merely your means to gain benefits."

"Good, very good!"

"You're dead!"

Having revealed his true form, he was both frenzied and confident.

Frenzied at the sheer audacity of such a scam.

Treating the entire Cosmos like fools.

Confident that he believed he could escape from here!

Zhang Huai was on the periphery, blocking information.

Ye Su didn't immediately go for the kill;

"The Calamity Mercenary Group is one of the few in the Cosmos with the means to enter the Calamity Chaos."

Ye Su said;

"Speak, what do you want?"

The man was stunned, then a smile appeared on his face;

"If we could get ninety percent of the Boundary Reduction proceeds, the Calamity Mercenary Group might be willing to cooperate with you."

"Ninety percent? Then what does all our prior planning count for?"

"Consider yourselves unlucky!"

Ye Su nearly laughed in anger; this guy really had a way with words;

"You will die."

"But I'm not the only one from the Calamity Mercenary Group who came in. Don't forget, the Calamity Chaos isn't your private garden. We can enter it too."

Whoosh--- The Martial God Will blazed brilliantly.

Ye Su's strike sliced through the Chaos.

Accompanied by a thin line, the man's head was cleanly severed.

Having lost his life aura, his body was immediately assimilated by the Chaos.

They had their answer.

"Members of the Calamity Mercenary Group are already inside."

Ye Su said;

"We need to find them quickly. As long as we find and kill them all, we can maintain the situation."

It was like patching vulnerabilities.

As long as Ye Su's side patched fast enough, the vulnerability wouldn't be a vulnerability.

Zhang Huai.

Became busy.

Continuously searching for members of the Calamity Mercenary Group, continuously killing them.

Outside.

At the Calamity Mercenary Group's main base, watching the soul fires of those sent into the Calamity Chaos continuously extinguish, their expressions turned uncertain.

"The Calamity Chaos remains dangerous."

"Lu Yiyi still maintains her scarcity."

"Let's wait a while longer."

"Hopefully, the Boundary Reduction will reach that martial dao treasure world."

A report was delivered to the Boundary Reduction operation headquarters.

Faced with the enormous sacrificial costs.

The Calamity Mercenary Group, which had previously disagreed, now smilingly agreed.

However...

Once this knot began to form, it could never be undone.

The Star Spirit Clan wasn't stupid either.

They could see it too, but currently being the beneficiary, they had been tolerating it.

What was once a unified effort for Boundary Reduction had turned into a chaotic mess of deceit and trickery.

Around the grand round table, each harbored their own ulterior motives.

Only the Mechanical Race saw things clearly.

The Ascension Five expert they had recruited seemed to have undergone Possession.

And a few days ago, for some unknown reason, its intelligence vanished, as if it had run away or something.

However.

Its shell remained.

Along with that set of calamity battle armor.

Currently, the Mechanical Race was attempting to 'wear' that garment.

Once they put it on.

Heh.

Calamity Chaos?

Who believes that 'Child of Calamity' nonsense the Star Spirit Clan talks about?

You can enter, so can we.

Boundary Reduction--- even without your Star Spirit Clan's participation, we can still perform Boundary Reduction.

Moreover, we wouldn't even be bound by the sacrifices.

Even.

Once we find that martial dao treasure Grass Grid World, then your Star Spirit Clan is finished.

What Cultivation Techniques or Secret Arts can compare in value to a martial dao treasure that rivals the Ascension Technique?

Once the monopoly is broken.

Your Star Spirit Clan is doomed.

The Mechanical Race was anxious.

Eager to start a major war.

Because, the Zerg's pheromone network was continuously threatening the spirit net.

If they didn't shift the hatred onto other Great Clans, they would be the ones to suffer!
