301: In the Trap

The Golden Immortals' primordial spirits had condensed into cores, entirely golden in color, with uneven paths upon them that seemed to bear the traces of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

They appeared to float in the air, small in volume and light as a feather.

But in reality, when held in one's hand, they felt like five massive mountains.

Even Chen Tianming could feel the weight pressing down on his wrists.

The surfaces of the five Golden Cores radiated a brilliant glow.

Ripples spread out from the surfaces of the Golden Cores, making contact with Chen Tianming's skin.

If it were an ordinary person, they certainly wouldn't be able to sense the information conveyed by this light.

But Chen Tianming had also comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Under the influence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth patterns, Chen Tianming could feel that these five Golden Cores were begging him for mercy.

However, Chen Tianming didn't care at all.

The more resentment these five fellows held, the more powerful the mechanism he could refine.

And Chen Tianming had long since possessed the method to refine such mechanisms.

He gently raised his hand, and the image of an exaggerated warship appeared in his palm.

It possessed an extremely sci-fi texture.

Chen Tianming casually manipulated the warship, using two fingers to pinch and either enlarge or shrink every single component within it.

He fully opened the energy converter on his chest.

The five Golden Immortal powerhouses were directly sucked into the energy converter.

After a sound of intense agitation.

The energy converter flashed with blue light, and like a scanning radiation, it constructed one warship component after another before Chen Tianming.

However...

Even if all the components were gathered, it would be impossible to manufacture the Mahayana warship that Chen Tianming possessed!

Because Chen Tianming had not copied all the parts of the warship.

Instead, he placed some parts that looked very high-quality every now and then.

Chen Tianming leaped across the entire small world at great speed.

He scattered these seemingly mysterious objects all over the small world.

Under Chen Tianming's orchestration, someone finally took the bait.

Several sects each found a few fragments.

Afterwards, they began to explore the surroundings bit by bit.

They were very puzzled.

Why would there be relic fragments with such spiritual energy density in this world?

A sect disciple had been entrusted by his master to guard one of the fragments.

However, this disciple might have been a bit mischievous by nature.

Taking advantage of his master's inattention, he directly channeled his own spiritual energy into the fragment.

Everyone only heard the urgent sound of spiritual power being rapidly pressurized.

Then, they saw a beam of golden light shoot straight into the sky.

With a boom, it blew a high mountain in the distance of the Nantian Gate into debris and fragments.

This explosion immediately attracted the attention of more people.

Nearly a thousand powerhouses began to gather here one after another.

This disciple was also severely punished with a ruler, then dragged along by his master to continue moving forward.

But little did they know, the direction they were advancing in had already been pre-designed by Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming's arrangement of the fragments was very particular, secretly conforming to the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Array.

The people picking up the fragments never noticed that there was another team nearby, advancing rapidly.

In their eyes, there were only the relic fragments.

That powerful spiritual energy directly blasted through the thick mountain peaks.

Who wouldn't love such a powerful offensive magical treasure!

But they didn't expect that Chen Tianming had arranged it this way on purpose.

The first fragment that everyone picked up was the powerful main cannon of a Mahayana warship!

The main cannon of a warship is always the one with the highest power.

Many sci-fi films depict this.

A warship's energy is dispersed among three major energy-consuming areas: the cannon barrel, the shields, and the engines.

Therefore, there are many plot points describing the protagonist weighing the pros and cons at critical moments.

Shutting down all energy to the shields and engines, concentrating it on the main cannon, defeating the enemy in one blow, and achieving great feats.

Therefore, this kind of weapon would certainly attract the attention of cultivators.

They would become addicted and continue moving forward.

In the end, Chen Tianming would leave a very important key fragment in the very center.

Just like a spider, lying in the center of the entire spider web, waiting for prey to fall into the trap.

And Chen Tianming played it even smarter.

He only needed to wait in the shadows.

Those cultivators greedy for treasure would naturally be attracted to the center of the battlefield Chen Tianming had set up.

Fighting fiercely for a key fragment!

Chen Tianming only needed to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Sure enough, under Chen Tianming's plan, teams from the four major sects had already arrived at the center of the trap.

Chen Tianming had already prepared the battlefield for them.

At this moment, the four teams gathered from all four sides.

Right in the center was the most important component of the warship's main cannon.

As cultivators.

They had long been well-versed in various books on ingenious crafts and odd skills.

Naturally, they understood the importance of this fragment.

Looking up, they found that there were three other parties eyeing it covetously.

At this moment, the four teams immediately became alert.

Chen Tianming saw that these four groups of trash refused to make the first move no matter what.

So, he simply decided to set an example for these cultivators first.

Chen Tianming rummaged through his spatial storage and actually found a firecracker that the system had randomly gifted him during a lucky draw!

This thing.

It had no other use, it was just loud!

Chen Tianming lit the fuse.

With a swoosh, a firecracker flew out from Chen Tianming's sleeve.

A black shadow flashed by, and the people in the four teams didn't even react.

They only heard a bang.

The firecracker exploded.

This kind of large firecracker directly blasted a black hole into the clouds deep in the mountain forest.

This directly startled the four teams who were wary of each other.

It just so happened that the careless disciple from earlier once again channeled his spiritual power into the heavy cannon barrel.

The warship's main cannon directly converted the endless flow of spiritual power into pure energy.

The golden light lit up once again.

His master shouted from the side for him to stop.

However, it was too late.

Compared to the speed at which the cannon fired, the master's attempt to stop him had become slow motion.

And this time, everyone witnessed the power of that light.

With a tremendous boom.

The terrifying golden light shot across the sky.

Opposite, a group of powerful cultivators all at the True Immortal realm or above.

At this moment, the entire team was wiped out in an instant.

Only the leading Great Luo Golden Immortal remained, holding that crucial fragment in his hand.

Using the warship fragment as a shield, he blocked the terrifying main cannon attack.

Everyone present was completely stunned.

What the hell kind of weapon is this!

One shot, and powerful cultivators who had entered the True Immortal realm were instantly reduced to nothing.

If all four cannons were gathered.

Wouldn't one be able to do whatever they wanted in the entire cultivation world?

Chen Tianming hadn't expected that the warship parts he had replicated would actually have such an effect.

What was even more unexpected was that the powerful main cannon also had a huge consumption of spiritual power.

The True Immortal disciple who had just operated the main cannon and fired it twice had now been sucked into a dried-up husk by the cannon.

His master hurriedly channeled spiritual power into his withered Qi Sea and Snow Mountain, only then barely saving his life.
