419: Conquer, plunder

Yan Hong quickly realized that the abnormality in Liu Ming before him was likely caused by you.

He instantly appeared at your side and struck directly at your head.

However, to his surprise, no matter how hard he tried, he could not harm you in the slightest.

Your head was indestructible; even if he focused all his strength on a single point, it was impossible to injure you at all.

"How is this possible?!"

Yan Hong's expression was one of extreme shock.

He never expected that you would be so bizarre.

But there was no time for him to overthink the situation, because Liu Ming, controlled by you, was continuously launching long-range attacks at him.

With each thunderous roar, even someone as strong as Yan Hong could not help but sustain several injuries.

With no other choice, Yan Hong had to temporarily flee the area to avoid Liu Ming's attacks.

The occurrence of these scenes filled the many Cultivators of the Cosmos Commerce Guild with fear of you.

They fled outwards one after another.

But...

"Who dares to leave?!"

"Take another step forward, and you die!"

As a roar erupted, those Cultivators of the Cosmos Commerce Guild immediately stopped in their tracks.

They stood frozen on the spot, not daring to move an inch, and could only look at you with fawning expressions.

You first had them return to their original places, then selected two Cosmos Commerce Guild Cultivators who appeared smarter than the rest and ordered them to lead you to find nearby Cosmos Commerce Guild branches.

They complied without a word, quickly pointing out the direction for you.

With them leading the way, you quickly raided several Cosmos Commerce Guild branches and obtained a large amount of Chaos Spiritual Energy.

However, before you could refine them, you once again felt a warning from your Crisis Awareness.

"Liu Ming, protect me!"

"Yes!"

"Bang..."

As the response rang out, all the attacks coming at you from a distance were blocked by Liu Ming.

However, the owner of these attacks did not intend to let you off so easily.

Endless attacks followed one after another, and thus a battle unfolded between them and Liu Ming in the sky.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two of them continued to exchange blows from a distance, but although the opponent's attacks were very fierce, they were far from being a match for Liu Ming.

The opponent gradually fell into a disadvantage and soon stopped attacking.

"My Lord, the person who just ambushed you should be the old Universe Commerce Guild Master of the Cosmos Commerce Guild."

"His strength is extremely formidable. He had already reached the 15th Realm when he went into seclusion back then. Even if he hasn't broken through to the 16th Realm now, I fear he isn't far off."

Listening to the words beside your ear, you nodded thoughtfully.

You could be certain that the so-called old Universe Commerce Guild Master of the Cosmos Commerce Guild was undoubtedly in the 16th Realm.

Only such an existence could fight Liu Ming for such a long time.

The opponent's goal was also very simple: naturally, he had long seen through your intentions and intended to use this method to delay your looting speed of the Cosmos Commerce Guild branches.

"Hmph, then let's see who is faster."

You sneered and immediately ordered those Cosmos Commerce Guild Cultivators to speed up and take you to the next branch.

Although you knew that the Cosmos Commerce Guild branches must have already started transferring assets and you wouldn't be able to loot much, you were not panicked at all.

With a great Cultivator like Liu Ming, wouldn't it be simple for you to loot some Chaos Spiritual Energy?

A few days later.

When you arrived at another Cosmos Commerce Guild branch, the place was already empty.

But adhering to the principle of not returning empty-handed, you immediately had Liu Ming loot the other Cultivators in this Cultivator gathering place.

You harvested a large amount of Chaos Spiritual Energy.

You began to Breakthrough.

After refining all the Chaos Spiritual Energy you had intercepted during this time, your cultivation base rose with the tide, and you soon reached the Peak of the 10th Realm.

However, this was the limit you could reach at present.

Just like the Cultivation path in the Inner Universe.

Cultivators in the Outer Universe who want to continue improving after reaching the 10th Realm must also use some special means.

The methods of employing these special means vary; it could be relying on treasures to temper the body, using spiritual items to strengthen oneself, or breaking through oneself in life-and-death situations.

But ultimately, it is all about letting the Cultivator break through their own limits and make themselves stronger.

At first, you didn't care much about this point.

Because you discovered that the special means of the Outer Universe are completely different from those of the Inner Universe.

The limitations of the Inner Universe are brought about by the world, whereas in the Outer Universe, it is about making oneself stronger, thereby having a higher success rate when breaking through.

Therefore, in this situation, Growing Day by Day can directly ignore the conditions of the Outer Universe, allowing your cultivation to continuously improve.

Furthermore, the time it takes for you to break through a Realm is only five thousand years.

This speed can certainly be considered fast.

As long as you can find a safe place to hide, you will soon be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, rising to the point of being invincible throughout the Inner and Outer Universes.

However, at this point, you have already thoroughly offended the Cosmos Commerce Guild.

To avoid the Universe Commerce Guild Master and the old Master summoning even more powerful Cultivators to attack you, after much deliberation, you decided to take the initiative and find a way to improve quickly.

Moreover...

After controlling Liu Ming, you learned that he was not a Loose Cultivator, but a Cultivator with a massive force behind him.

That was a Hidden Family named the Liu Family.

It was teeming with experts, and there were five people whose cultivation alone surpassed Liu Ming's.

Most importantly, Liu Ming's good friend Yan Hong also knew this information.

If he were to tell the Liu Family that Liu Ming was controlled by you, then you would be in deep trouble.

Thinking of this, you immediately spoke: "Liu Ming, with your current strength, where is the place with the richest resources that you can raid?"

"Replying to my Lord, if there are no accidents, it should be Langya Heaven."

"It is considered a black market, where all kinds of people are mixed together, and various resources are abundant."

"However, there is no leader there, and the combat power of any single Cultivator is not strong, so they are not my match."

"Good, then that is the place. Let's set off."

As soon as you finished speaking, you set off under Liu Ming's guidance.

And behind you, there followed a massive group of over a thousand Cosmos Commerce Guild retainers.

Although you did not give them any benefits, for the sake of their own lives, they have been doing their utmost to work for you.
