Chapter 162: Fat Sheep! They're All Fat Sheep!

After leaving Blood Bone City, Ning Yuan was in no hurry to rush his journey.

Falling Star Valley was eight thousand miles away. With his current King Realm cultivation, if he exerted his Origin Power to its fullest and tore through the void to travel, it would only take a moment.

However, he had just arrived at the Myriad Races Battlefield and did not yet understand the environment and hidden dangers here well enough.

Furthermore, his current identity was a mobile "humanoid treasury." With a sky-high bounty on his head, he didn't know how many greedy eyes were watching him from the shadows.

Although he feared no challenge, he didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble by being too high-profile—such as those shameless old monsters at the Sovereign or even Emperor level who liked to bully the weak.

“Developing low-key and playing the pig to eat the tiger is the way to go,” he thought.

Ning Yuan pondered inwardly as he restrained his Aura to the extreme, even hiding the Purple-Gold Divine Glow on his body's surface. He looked just like an ordinary Flying Heaven Realm Loose Cultivator.

He brought out a medium-sized shuttle he had seized from some unlucky fellow. Although this shuttle couldn't compare to the Great Xia Martial Academy's void ships, it was more than suitable for travel in the harsh environment of the Myriad Races Battlefield.

The shuttle sailed smoothly through the desolate starry sky.

Ning Yuan sat cross-legged in the control room. While delegating a wisp of Divine Thought to control the shuttle's course, he took out the jug of strong liquor he had bought from the Blood Bone Tavern from his dimensional bracelet.

“Gulp! Gulp!”

He tilted his head back and took two large, fierce gulps.

The spicy liquid flowed down his throat, turning into a ball of fire that burned in his stomach, dispelling the faint traces of cold Evil Qi around him.

“The alcohol in this Myriad Races Battlefield really has a kick!”

Ning Yuan wiped his mouth with satisfaction and cast his gaze out the window at the deep and dangerous starry sky.

Along the way, he saw many broken star fragments and giant beast bones floating in the void; these were all traces of the tragic battles that had once occurred.

He also encountered several small teams of foreign races traveling together. Looking at the direction they were heading, they were clearly also aiming for Falling Star Valley.

However, most of these people's cultivations were between the Flying Heaven Realm and the early King Realm. To Ning Yuan, they posed absolutely no threat.

He didn't even bother to give them a second look, directly steering the shuttle to whistle past high above their heads.

That attitude of disregard naturally drew the dissatisfaction and curses of some foreign race prodigies, but because the shuttle was too fast, they could only eat its dust.

After flying for about two hours.

A strange sight suddenly appeared in the starry sky ahead.

The originally pitch-black void was actually dyed a deep purplish-red here!

Countless violent stellar magnetic fields, like tangible storms, were raging and strangling everything within that area!

In the center of that storm, one could vaguely see a massive, terrifying pit that looked as if it had been smashed out by a meteorite.

Around the pit, there remained some extremely ancient, broken Formation patterns that emitted heart-palpitating fluctuations.

“That... should be Falling Star Valley.”

A sharp light flashed in Ning Yuan's eyes. He controlled the shuttle to slow down gradually, stopping dozens of miles away from the edge of the storm.

He could clearly feel that the space in the area ahead was extremely unstable. If he rashly drove the shuttle inside, he would likely be sucked into a spatial turbulence.

Ning Yuan put away the shuttle and stood suspended in the air.

He narrowed his eyes, carefully observing this dangerous land before him.

“The magnetic field here... is quite interesting.”

He discovered that the stellar magnetic fields here were not chaotic; rather, they operated according to some extremely profound law, as if they formed a massive natural killing Formation!

Moreover, under the cover of this killing Formation, the energy fluctuations deep within the valley were actually perfectly isolated. If Red Fox hadn't informed him in advance, he wouldn't even have been able to detect that an ancient powerhouse's Immortal Cave was hidden inside!

“It seems the powerhouse who left this Immortal Cave behind not only had heaven-reaching cultivation but also reached the pinnacle of attainment in the Dao of Formations!”

Ning Yuan praised secretly in his heart, his expectations for this Immortal Cave growing a bit more.

Just as he was about to set off to enter Falling Star Valley.

Suddenly!

From the void not far behind him, a series of violent air-piercing sounds rang out!

Ning Yuan frowned slightly and turned to look.

He saw a massive, ferociously-shaped black warship charging toward him with an extremely arrogant posture, brutally smashing aside meteorite fragments along the way!

On the bow of the warship hung a large black flag embroidered with a blood-dripping skull!

“Blood Skull Bandit Group?”

Ning Yuan had heard this name while scouting for information in Blood Bone City.

This was a notorious interstellar raider group active around Blood Bone City, specializing in murder, robbery, and looting.

The leader was a ruthless character named "Blood Hand," who was said to have reached the Middle Stage of the King Realm. He had recruited a large number of vicious outlaws under his command.

“It seems these guys are also after the powerhouse's Immortal Cave.”

A playful, cold smile curled at the corner of Ning Yuan's mouth.

He did not avoid them, instead standing quietly in place, watching the black warship rapidly approach.

“Hahaha! Boss, look! There's a lone fat sheep ahead!”

On the warship's deck, a one-eyed man pointed in Ning Yuan's direction and shouted excitedly.

“This kid dared to come to Falling Star Valley alone; he must have plenty of good stuff on him!”

“Brothers, get ready to work!”

The one called "Boss," Blood Hand, was a thin, middle-aged man with a sinister face.

His triangular eyes swept over Ning Yuan, a greedy light flashing within them.

“Just a little Flying Heaven Realm Loose Cultivator who doesn't even dare to show his true face, and he dares to come here to join the fun?”

“He's simply seeking death!”

He waved his hand and grinned cruelly. “Surround him! Kill the men and steal everything! If there are women... hehehe, you brothers know what to do!”

“Hahaha! Boss is mighty!”

A group of outlaws let out unrestrained, wild laughter as they leaped off the warship one after another, surrounding Ning Yuan like hungry wolves pouncing on prey.

Ning Yuan looked at this group of death-seeking fools as if he were watching a bunch of clowns.

He had originally been thinking about how to obtain more cultivation resources without exposing his identity.

He hadn't expected someone to deliver a pillow just as he was getting sleepy!

The Blood Skull Bandit Group had been acting tyrannically in the surrounding area for many years; they must have accumulated a lot of wealth.

What kind of raider group was this? These were clearly a bunch of mobile "experience packs" and "resource depots"!

“Fat sheep? They're all fat sheep!”

Ning Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, even more excited than when he saw the powerhouse's Immortal Cave!

He rubbed his hands together, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.

“Big brothers, are you... going to rob me?”

He deliberately put on a trembling, terrified act, his voice shaking.

“I... I only have a few Spirit Stones on me. I'll give them all to you, just please spare my life!”

As he spoke, he also fake-heartedly pulled a few Low-Grade Spirit Stones from his robe and handed them over pitifully.

“Hahaha! Just this piece of junk? Are you trying to brush off a beggar?!”

The one-eyed man slapped away the Spirit Stones in Ning Yuan's hand and roared fiercely.

“Kid, stop playing dumb! Hurry up and hand over your dimensional bracelet! Otherwise, I'll turn you into mincemeat right now!”

Blood Hand stood with his arms crossed, looking at Ning Yuan with a teasing expression, as if enjoying the struggle of prey before death.

“Kid, you only have your bad luck to blame. You didn't check the omens before leaving home and ran into us, the Blood Skulls.”

“In your next life, remember to be a bit smarter!”

“Brothers, move out!”

At Blood Hand's command, over a dozen Flying Heaven Realm raiders attacked simultaneously. Various flashy Divine Abilities and secret techniques smashed toward Ning Yuan like raindrops!

However.

Facing this overwhelming attack, the look of terror on Ning Yuan's face vanished without a trace.

In its place was a killing intent chilled to the extreme!

“Since you're all so eager to die...”

“Then I shall grant your wish!”

Boom!

Ning Yuan no longer hid himself. The purple-gold God-Level Core inside his body suddenly jolted!

A terrifying pressure belonging to a King Realm expert swept across the field like a volcanic eruption!

Within that pressure was also mixed a trace of immortal law power, heavy as a thousand tons!

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

Those originally aggressive raiders didn't even have time to react before they were pressed flat into the void by this terrifying pressure, like dumplings falling into a pot!

They couldn't even move a single finger!

The Divine Abilities and secret techniques they were so proud of were like fragile soap bubbles before Ning Yuan's pressure, shattering instantly!

“K-King Realm?!”

“How is this possible?!”

The teasing look on Blood Hand's face completely froze. His eyes bulged, filled with undisguised terror and despair!

He never imagined that this ordinary-looking, even somewhat cowardly Flying Heaven Realm Loose Cultivator would actually be...

A King Realm big shot playing the pig to eat the tiger?!

Moreover, the terror of this pressure was countless times stronger than even his own Middle Stage King Realm power!

He had truly kicked a steel plate!

And an extra-thick, reinforced one at that!

“G-Great one, spare me!”

“It's our eyes that failed to recognize Mount Tai! Please, great one, just treat us like a fart and let us go!”

Blood Hand could no longer care about any boss's dignity. He knelt in the void with a thud, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

The surrounding raiders were also scared out of their wits, crying for their parents.

Ning Yuan looked at these people who were arrogant before and servile now, letting out a disdainful cold laugh.

“Weren't you going to turn me into mincemeat just now?”

“Now you know to beg for mercy?”

“Too late!”

He slowly raised his right hand, curled his fingers into a claw, and suddenly clenched downward!

“Starry Sky of Myriad Tribulations: Spatial Strangling!”

Buzz!

With Ning Yuan as the center, the space within a thousand-foot radius instantly twisted and folded, forming a terrifying spatial storm!

Those kneeling raiders didn't even have time to scream before they were ground into a mist of blood by the violent spatial power!

In just an instant.

Over a dozen Flying Heaven Realm raiders were completely annihilated!

Only a lone Blood Hand remained, trembling in the center of the storm, a pool of yellow liquid already seeping from his crotch.

“Y-You can't kill me!”

“I am the leader of the Blood Skull Bandit Group! I have a backer in Blood Bone City!”

“If you kill me, that big figure behind me will definitely not let you off!”

Seeing his subordinates die instantly, Blood Hand knew he was doomed today and could only bring up his backer in an attempt at a final struggle.

However, Ning Yuan turned a deaf ear to his threats.

“Backer?”

“In this Myriad Races Battlefield, whoever has the bigger fist is the biggest backer!”

“As for that big figure behind you...”

Ning Yuan walked up to Blood Hand, looking down at him from above, his gaze as cold as a blade.

“If he dares to come looking for me, I don't mind slaughtering him along with you!”

Puff!

Ning Yuan casually pointed a finger, and a purple-gold finger-beam instantly pierced through Blood Hand's brow!

This raider leader, who had dominated the area around Blood Bone City for many years, fell just like that!

Ning Yuan withdrew his finger, not even glancing at Blood Hand's corpse as he skillfully swept all the dimensional bracelets left behind by him and the raiders into his hand.

A sweep of his Divine Thought immediately brought a satisfied smile to his face.

“Not bad, not bad! This Blood Skull Bandit Group really is filthy rich!”

“There are millions of High-Grade Spirit Stones alone! Plus various rare Ores, Medicinal Pills, and Magic Treasures!”

“This wave of robbery... ah no, acting on behalf of heaven, was truly a huge profit!”

Ning Yuan put away the spoils, his mood excellent.

He turned his head toward the violent stellar magnetic field ahead, an excited light flashing in his eyes.

“The appetizer is finished.”

“Next... it's time to taste the main course!”

Swoosh!

His figure flashed, turning into a purple-gold stream of light as he plunged into that dangerous Falling Star Valley without hesitation!
