193: Chapter 198 Betrayal

The burly man, Sanshan Chong, was completely shocked.

One must understand that while a Divine Body Realm cultivator is like an ant within the Middle Realm, they can basically achieve a Breakthrough as long as they have a bit of talent and put in some effort.

However, in a Small World, a Divine Body Realm cultivator is an existence comparable to a god!

In a Small World with this level of Spiritual Qi concentration, one could hardly expect a single one to be born even among a population of trillions.

But now, with a population of a mere hundred billion, over twenty had actually been born?

This probability was simply absurdly high!

"Quick! Use the Magical Artifact to quickly determine exactly how many Divine Body Realm cultivators there are in this world."

"Also, find out exactly where they are. I want to find the nearest Divine Body Realm cultivator immediately to get some answers!"

The burly man, Sanshan Chong, roared, his eyes flashing with endless madness.

As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be a cause; the fact that the number of Divine Body Realm cultivators in this Small World was so irrationally high definitely meant there was a reason.

A Heaven-Defying treasure?

A Heaven-Defying Legacy?

Or perhaps even a powerful Undying Realm existence had left behind an Immortal Cave—all of these were possibilities!

And what kind of existence was the Undying Realm? Even within the Mocang Middle Realm, they were powerhouses of their own, capable of occupying a city and ruling over countless subjects.

Compared to an Undying Realm expert, he, Sanshan Chong, was just an ant; even having a main family behind him was useless!

After all, the main family had developed for hundreds of thousands of years, and its various branches now spanned nearly half of the Mocang Middle Realm.

Small branches like theirs were simply innumerable. Without strength, who would take them seriously? Even the main family wouldn't bother with them.

"Seize it, seize it, seize it! I must seize the Opportunity behind this Small World."

"With this Opportunity in hand, Jue'er's hopes of achieving the Undying Realm in the future will be much greater!"

"And once Jue'er achieves immortality, my, Sanshan Chong's, lineage will completely rise!"

At this thought, the heat in Sanshan Chong's eyes grew even more intense.

A moment later, the subordinate in charge of Device Number One, Mu Long, spoke up again:

"Lord Sanshan, the results are out."

"In this Small World, there are a total of twenty-six cultivators at the Divine Body Realm or above."

"Among them, five are at the Peak of the First Level of the Divine Body Realm, eight are at the Late Stage, seven are at the Middle Stage, and six are at the Early Stage."

"Of these twenty-six Divine Body lifeforms, twenty-four are currently located within the same small area. I suspect it should be the landmass of this world."

"There is also one at the Peak of the First Level and one at the Middle Stage of the First Level located in another area quite far from those nine lifeforms. I suspect that should be the ocean region of this world."

"My Lord, that is all the information. Please make your decision!"

"Oh? Twenty-four on land and two in the ocean?"

Hearing this, the burly man Sanshan Chong laughed:

"It seems these two poor little fellows were driven out by those twenty-four Divine Body Realm cultivators joining forces!"

"Hehe, very well then. Since that's the case, I'll go look for them to cooperate!"

"After all, having been driven out of the world's core, these two little fellows must harbor no small amount of resentment! Their actions are likely to be even more evil and crazed. By cooperating with people like that, we are more likely to quickly obtain information about this world."

"Let's go! Change course. First, we find that little fellow at the Peak of the First Level of the Divine Body Realm!"

"Yes! Lord Sanshan!"

As soon as Sanshan Chong finished speaking, his subordinates on the flying boat responded one after another. They then followed the map and flew rapidly toward Yuan Emperor's location.

And so, just a few moments later.

"Boom!"

Above a desolate island, a massive flying boat parted the clouds, descending upon the island with terrifying speed like a primordial beast from ancient times.

"What... what is this thing? How can there be a flying boat in this world that flies in the sky, and how can its speed be so fast?"

"Even though I am a Peak Martial Saint and master the Dao of Lightning, which excels in speed, and I even have a peerless divine weapon in hand, I couldn't even see clearly how it appeared just now!"

Seeing this scene on the island, Yuan Qingcang, dressed in black and originally meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his gaze filled with shock.

At that moment—

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Powerful auras erupted from the flying boat one after another. The terrifying pressure stirred the wind and clouds, causing massive vortices to appear in the Void Realm for hundreds of miles around.

At the center of these vortices, under Yuan Qingcang's incredibly shocked gaze.

He saw dozens of figures on the flying boat, every single one of them possessing an aura at the Peak Martial Saint level, not inferior to his own in the slightest.

Several of them were even ten or a hundred times stronger than him, making his heart surge with waves of lethal threat.

Especially the man in black armor leading them; the aura radiating from him made Yuan Qingcang's Soul tremble, like an ant meeting a Dragon, making him want to submit!

However, just as Yuan Qingcang's heart was filled with dread, thinking he was about to perish at the hands of these powerhouses of unknown origin.

High in the sky, those auras that had been pressing down on him so hard he could barely breathe suddenly dispersed completely.

Then, the leader, the black-armored man with the most terrifying aura, suddenly grinned at him:

"Greetings, cultivator of this Small World!"

The black-armored man smiled, looking extremely happy, but his next words instantly made Yuan Qingcang feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar:

"My name is Sanshan Chong, and I am a World Conqueror from the Universe!"

"I have come to your Small World today to completely conquer it, and then sell it off."

"Now, I give you two choices. One, join me and work for me."

"Or, you can choose death!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the already terrifying aura on the black-armored man surged once again.

The terrifying aura, mixed with an incredibly powerful will, forced Yuan Qingcang, the former number one powerhouse of the Nine Provinces, to bend his back in spite of himself.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! You damn thing!"

Subjected to such humiliation, Yuan Qingcang was enraged, his eyes full of madness.

However, the great terror of life and death and the instinct for survival instantly overwhelmed his madness and reason.

Finally, after three breaths had passed.

Under the gaze of the black-armored man's eyes, which held a faint smile, Yuan Qingcang finally lowered his noble head.

"My Lord, I am willing to submit!"

"Hehe! Very good!"

Hearing this, Sanshan Chong laughed again, his eyes revealing endless heat and greed. He then began to question Yuan Qingcang about various details of the Nine Provinces Continent's treasure lands.
