363: Chapter 363 A Triumphant Return Leaves Earth's Cultivators Completely Stunned

Earth, the ruins of Dengxian Island.

The oppressive layer of dark red tribulation clouds in the sky had long since dispersed.

The sea breeze blew past, carrying a salty, fishy scent.

Dao Yi, Li Xiaoyao, and over a thousand Cultivators from various sects were all kneeling on the plaza.

Their legs were numb from kneeling, but no one dared to move.

Luo Tianfei stood at the very front, her eyes flashing with blue data streams.

"Spatial fluctuations abnormal. Target is approaching."

Luo Tianfei's cold voice spread throughout the area.

Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.

That Bringer of Calamity was about to return.

The sky suddenly split open with a massive rift.

A tattered silver-white warship, with more than half of its outer armor missing, wobbled as it squeezed out of the rift.

Black smoke was still billowing from the warship's stern.

Its appearance made it look like it had been salvaged from some trash heap.

But no one dared to laugh.

Because standing on the bow of the warship was a person.

Lu Sheng.

The black-gold dragon scales on his body had been retracted, replaced by a set of ordinary black combat fatigues.

But the terrifying pressure emanating from his very bones was many times stronger than when he had left.

The pressure of the Spirit Venerable Realm.

Even though he wasn't intentionally releasing it, the surrounding space was slightly distorting.

The warship hovered in mid-air.

Lu Sheng leaped down from the bow and landed steadily on the plaza.

Thud.

The white jade floor tiles beneath his feet were instantly crushed into powder.

"All of you, lift your heads."

Lu Sheng swept his gaze over the kneeling Cultivators.

Dao Yi hurriedly looked up, his face forced into a smile while his forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

"Wel... Welcome back in triumph, Lord."

Lu Sheng ignored him and turned to look at Luo Tianfei.

"Has the warehouse been cleared out?"

"It's cleared. The Dengxian Island underground air-raid shelter has been emptied, and the Formations have been reinforced," Luo Tianfei answered mechanically.

"Good."

Lu Sheng waved his hand.

Ten Xianqin Terracotta Warriors jumped down from the warship.

Immediately after, Lu Sheng opened his storage space.

Crash! Crash!

It was like rain.

Countless storage crates emitting multi-colored light smashed down from mid-air.

One after another, they piled up into a small mountain.

Every single crate was engraved with the emblem of the Scavenger Alliance and was filled with high-purity High-Dimensional Origin Crystalss.

That incredibly dense spirit source fluctuation instantly spread out.

The Spiritual Qi concentration of the entire Dengxian Island soared several hundred times in a matter of seconds!

The Cultivators present were all dumbfounded.

Li Xiaoyao's mouth hung wide open, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.

"This... what are these things?"

He took a deep breath and felt the cultivation that had been stagnant for a long time actually loosen slightly.

Just catching a scent of it was more effective than the Medicinal Pills they usually took!

"These are called High-Dimensional Origin Crystalss."

Lu Sheng kicked a crate near his feet.

"I just went to the aliens' home base to pick up some stock. These things are ten thousand times better than those Abyss Crystal Cores of yours."

The entire field was deathly silent.

Going to the aliens' home base... to pick up stock?

This was freaking robbery!

And looking at this situation, he had completely emptied their warehouse!

"Dao Yi," Lu Sheng called out.

"Your subordinate is here!" Dao Yi hurriedly scrambled over.

"Find people to move these crates to the underground warehouse. Register and catalog them; if even one crystal is missing, I'll use your head to make up the difference."

"Yes, yes, yes! Your subordinate will see to it immediately!"

Dao Yi quickly summoned his Disciples to move the crates.

Lu Sheng looked at the covetous gazes of those Cultivators and sneered.

"Stop looking, these are all my rations."

He walked to the pile of crates, grabbed a handful of crystals at random, and tossed them into his mouth, crunching and chewing them.

"However, since you're all my laborers now, I can't let you starve to death."

Lu Sheng clapped his hands.

"From today on, there will be an assessment every month. Points will be calculated based on the High-Grade Sea Beast meat and Mutated Materials you hand in."

"The top ten will be rewarded with one of these."

Lu Sheng tossed a purple crystal in his hand.

"One of these is enough for you to Cultivate for ten years."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The eyes of the Cultivators below turned completely red.

Before, they were being forced to work and were harboring resentment.

Now, it was different.

This was a peerless treasure that could allow them to Breakthrough their Realms!

Cultivators would even throw away their lives for resources; now that they could get such top-tier resources just by working, who wouldn't put in the effort?

"We will serve the Lord to the death!"

Someone shouted out.

Immediately after, over a thousand Cultivators kowtowed in unison, their shouts shaking the heavens.

Lu Sheng curled his lip.

This bunch of fence-sitters, give them a little sweetness and they forget who they are.

He turned to look at Luo Tianfei.

"How is the Global Resource Monitoring Network coming along?"

Blue light flashed in the depths of Luo Tianfei's eyes.

"It has covered 80% of the world's sea areas. Several gathering points for high-energy Mutated Sea Beasts have been discovered."

"Send the coordinates to them," Lu Sheng pointed at the Cultivators, "let them get to work."

"Yes."

Having finished arranging these trivial matters, Lu Sheng stretched.

He now urgently needed to find a quiet place to properly digest the Spirit Venerable Realm Nebula that had just formed in his body.

"I'm going into seclusion. Unless the sky is falling, don't disturb me."

Lu Sheng left those words behind and turned to walk toward the secret chamber deep within Dengxian Island.

He knew that the Scavenger Alliance's revenge would come soon.

He had to adjust his state to the Peak.

The next ones to come definitely wouldn't be some random nobodies.

The stone door of the secret chamber crashed shut.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on a prayer mat and took a deep breath.

The ancient desolate heaven swallowing furnace slowly rotated within his body.

"Come then, let me see how many more delicacies there are in this Universe."
