212: Chapter 212 Dig Hurry Up!

However, this black palm was completely different from the last time.

Light of Law, extinguish!

great sumeru treasure hoe, shatter!

The black palm's momentum remained undiminished as it struck directly at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi intended to use the Spirit Stone Traverse Art, but he discovered that the entire space seemed to be frozen; he could not move even a single finger.

This delay also caused him to lose the opportunity to use the Fuyu Palace.

"Ouch!"

Zhao Yi let out a miserable cry as the immense force struck his body.

It slammed him vertically into Mang Mountain, leaving only a lock of hair exposed on the outside.

Approximate, who was hiding in Zhao Yi's brow, shuddered; it was fortunate that he was clever and had hidden away in advance.

Otherwise, he might have ended up even more miserable than Zhao Yi.

"Ahhh~"

Outside Mang Mountain, Heavenly Net looked at the former Netherworld Hall and roared towards the sky.

"Zhao Yi, I must have you dead!"

"You destroyed my Sect; this hatred is irreconcilable, either you die or I perish."

"Tch!"

Covered in mud, Zhao Yi was sitting on the mountain peak, though it was unclear when he had gotten there.

"Your Netherworld Hall has committed countless evils, practicing Soul Refining and nurturing Evil Qi, slaughtering Mortals like pigs and dogs. Your destruction today is the cycle of Heavenly Dao; retribution is swift."

"You still dare to speak of me destroying your Sect?"

"Your Sect was originally an abyss of sin and a demonic den; should it not be destroyed?"

"You..."

Heavenly Net glared fixedly at Zhao Yi.

Among the ten halls of the Netherworld Hall, Liang Chen, the Hall Master of the Jiheng Hall, was relatively meticulous. He noticed that although Zhao Yi's aura was chaotic, there was not the slightest external injury on his body.

One must know that for that palm strike just now, they had used eighty percent of their power. Zhao Yi had taken the strike head-on and was actually unscathed; this simply defied logic.

"Is it because the Netherworld Hall was destroyed that our Luck is declining?"

"Oh no, the backlash of Heavenly Dao has arrived."

On the horizon, endless tribulation clouds began to gather.

Upon seeing the tribulation clouds, Zhao Yi's first reaction was not to run, but to sit cross-legged on the ground.

He summoned the great sumeru treasure hoe again, preparing for Undergoing Tribulation.

This action was so familiar it made one's heart ache.

After a long while, he did not feel the Heavenly Tribulation locking onto him.

Zhao Yi then realized,

This Heavenly Tribulation was not aimed at them.

As for the opposite side, the giant Heavenly Net had already disintegrated.

Guixu and the other ten Hall Masters looked at the tribulation clouds.

"Zhao Yi,"

"It's all your fault~"

"Once we pass this tribulation, we will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces."

The ten Hall Masters were grinding their teeth so hard they were about to shatter.

Their hatred for Zhao Yi shot straight to their crowns.

"Holy crap!"

"I know now~"

Approximate suddenly rushed out from Zhao Yi's brow,

collided with the tribulation clouds in mid-air, exploded, and then dove back into Zhao Yi's brow.

"Are you crazy?"

Approximate was incomparably excited.

"M-Master, I have calculated it; that Seal has a flaw. Like this... like this, we can enter the Divine Stone Mine."

Approximate fidgeted as he drew a route map for Zhao Yi.

"But~"

Zhao Yi was stunned,

"That Divine Stone Mine has already been covered by the tribulation clouds."

"Master, wealth is sought in danger,"

"It is precisely because it is covered by the tribulation clouds that we must go dig."

"Otherwise, if the Divine Stone Mine is destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn't it all be over?"

Unaccountably, Zhao Yi felt that what Approximate said was very correct.

"You didn't use the Nonsense Sutra on me, did you?"

Approximate darkened his face,

"Master, look at what you're saying."

"Is asking you to go dig the Divine Stone Mine nonsense?"

Zhao Yi shook his head,

"It seems not!"

Approximate was secretly pleased,

"Doesn't that make sense then?"

"Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Charge in!"

"Charge then, who is afraid of who?"

Zhao Yi dove headfirst into the tribulation clouds,

leaving the ten Hall Masters of the Netherworld Hall stunned.

"What is he trying to do?"

"I don't know!"

"Maybe he's just suicidal."

"Ouch, what a lunatic, actually diving into the tribulation clouds."

The ten Hall Masters discussed Zhao Yi while keeping an eye on the tribulation clouds, but not a single one guessed correctly.

Zhao Yi was seen following a strange route, stepping with strange footwork, wandering across Mang Mountain.

"First take three steps to the upper left, then step back five steps to the right."

Approximate was directing from within Zhao Yi's brow.

"Not good!"

Guixu, who had been in the Sect since the founding of the Netherworld Hall, finally realized something was wrong.

"This is the footwork for finding the Divine Stone Mine."

"What a thief, how did he know the Divine Stone was in Mang Mountain?"

"Damn it, who leaked it?"

Guixu's eyes looked like they were about to breathe fire.

The other eight Hall Masters were also anxious; clearly, they also knew there was a Divine Stone Mine under Mang Mountain.

Only the newcomer Jian Xu looked confused, knowing nothing.

"My Netherworld Hall has built a hall here for tens of thousands of years, using countless resentment to scour the Seal of this Divine Stone Mine every day,"

"Now that the great task is about to be completed, we must absolutely not let Zhao Yi get there first,"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry~"

"Stop him."

"We cannot let him enter the mine!"

"It's too late!"

Zhao Yi curled the corner of his mouth and suddenly accelerated. His whole body moved like a golden lightning bolt, weaving through the mountains.

With every step he took, faint golden patterns appeared under his feet; that was Zhao Yi pushing the Law of Money to its limit.

"Boom!"

A purple lightning bolt as thick as a mountain struck down, hitting exactly ten zhang in front of Zhao Yi. Gravel splashed, and the mountain cracked.

As Luck would have it, the tribulation clouds for Guixu and the other ten Hall Masters had begun.

"This is the moment!"

Borrowing this trace of spatial fluctuation, Zhao Yi forcibly twisted his body and stepped into a crack.

"He went in?"

Liang Chen's pupils constricted sharply,

"He found the crack in the Seal."

That was not the real entrance; it was a hairline crack where the Seal had briefly loosened due to the combined effect of the Heavenly Tribulation's bombardment and the collapse of the Netherworld Hall's Luck.

Ordinary Immortals wouldn't even be able to perceive it, let alone find it, even if they were standing right in front of it.

But Approximate in Zhao Yi's brow was originally the manifestation of the Approximation Technique, which specialized in deducing flaws. Finding a Divine Stone Mine was completely effortless.

At this moment, Zhao Yi had stepped into the dark abyss underground.

Before his eyes was a pitch-black mining tunnel, and the air was filled with thick Evil Qi and traces of heart-palpitating divine fluctuations.

"Is this a mine tunnel?"

Even though it was pitch black, Zhao Yi could still see the surrounding environment clearly.

Compared to Spirit Stone Mines and Immortal Stone Mines, it was just massive.

A hundred or a thousand times larger.

"Master, what are you spacing out for?"

"Dig quickly."

As he spoke, he used his Dragon claw to grab directly at the ground.

A harsh creaking sound came,

"It's really hard."

Approximate actually failed to break the ground with one grab.

"My bad."

"Master, only you can do it,"

"The surface of this Divine Stone Mine has been eroded by Evil Qi and turned into Nether Ancient Rock; ordinary Immortal Artifacts cannot break it."

Zhao Yi...

"Come, come, move aside!"

"Watch me."

He brandished the great sumeru treasure hoe and brought it down with one strike.

With a "clang" sound,

although there was some recoil, he had managed to dig into it after all.

With a little effort, the mountain rock was pried out.

At the same time, the System notification sounded in Zhao Yi's ears,

【You have dug up six low-grade immortal stones, experience points +6.】

"What?"

Zhao Yi almost thought he had misheard.

Six low-grade immortal stones?

He had already grown accustomed to the days of digging Immortal Stones one by one, or even only digging one low-grade immortal stone every ten-plus years.

Now, digging up six low-grade immortal stones in one swing of the hoe seemed so unreal.

"Why is it low-grade immortal stones?"

"This isn't right!"

Just like Zhao Yi, Approximate also thought he had misread it,

however, his understanding was completely different from Zhao Yi's,

How could low-grade immortal stones be dug out of a Divine Stone Mine?
