Chapter 815: Chapter 808: Incoming Attack

Zhou Yuanjue was unaware of everything that had happened in Jixian City. In fact, within the entire Chaotic Paradise, almost no one besides the upper echelons of the Ten Great Organizations truly knew about this plan. This secrecy was to prevent alerting their targets.

Everything was advancing in the dark.

In the Chiyan Safety Zone.

After staying for half a month and continuously sparring and exchanging insights with Zhou Yuanjue, Qingling and the others left one after another.

They had other things to do and could not stay in the Chiyan Safety Zone indefinitely.

On the other side, Anjina, Dorobaku, and the rest also began to bid Zhou Yuanjue farewell in succession. They embarked on new journeys, continuing on their path to challenge the strong.

Only Zhou Yuanjue remained behind alone in the Chiyan Safety Zone.

For the time being, he didn’t want to leave just yet.

The battles with Qingling and the others had given him a certain estimate and judgment of his Power after advancing. However, he was currently far from his limit, and there were still many abilities waiting to be unearthed.

On another note, he currently had ample Value Points. Although he was slightly short on Points, he wasn’t in a hurry. Right after advancing, his structural "fusion slots" had opened up again. Therefore, he considered staying in the Chiyan Safety Zone for a while to continuously run Simulations and fuse new structures. He would only leave when he hit a bottleneck, or when resources like Value Points and Points ran out.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Chiyan Safety Zone, within the boiling subterranean magma of the Dominic Wilderness.

BUBBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE!

Zhou Yuanjue swam as freely as if he were in the ocean. However, his surroundings were scorching and fiery red, and the viscous magma was enough to make one’s scalp tingle with dread.

An Energy Shield enveloped him, isolating the erosion of the magma.

He discovered that as he dove deeper into the magma, the surrounding temperature skyrocketed. It seemed even hotter than the surface of the sun, and it appeared to carry a strong Energy-dissolving and pulling property, producing an effect similar to a Technique Domain.

Surviving here was an extreme test of a lifeform’s control over Energy. Otherwise, once their Energy became imbalanced and their protective shield dissipated, they would be swallowed by the magma. Even existences above the First Layer Transformation Boundary could instantly have their life support mechanisms triggered.

Yet, this was not Zhou Yuanjue’s ultimate goal.

"Huh? Where did that big guy run off to today?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense an extremely subtle fluctuation in the surrounding magma.

There?

He exerted force in an instant, parting the magma. Sure enough, he saw a massive, carapace-like tail.

It was an Earth Rock Worm, and its size was unimaginably gargantuan.

It was at least ten times larger than the giant Earth Rock Worm Anjina had subdued back then.

Sensing that its "rear end" had been discovered, the Earth Rock Worm’s tail violently retracted. It seemed to be preparing to slip away.

But it did not succeed.

Zhou Yuanjue’s hand was already resting on its tail carapace.

He gave a fierce tug.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Come play with me first," Zhou Yuanjue said, projecting his will.

The Earth Rock Worm, ready to flee, was instantly yanked back by an immense Power, letting out a roar of grief and indignation.

During this period, it had replaced Qingling and the others to become Zhou Yuanjue’s new punching bag. Zhou Yuanjue found that this Earth Rock Worm was not only gigantic and impressively strong, but it also possessed a Biological Domain similar to a Technique Domain. In the depths of the magma, which was its home turf, it could unleash tremendous Power.

A harsh environment coupled with an opponent wielding something akin to a Technique Domain was absolutely perfect for Zhou Yuanjue. Having recently advanced his realm, this was the ideal setup to elevate his micromanagement and mastery over his Technique Domain to the next level.

At first, the Earth Rock Worm was furious at Zhou Yuanjue for intruding into its territory. It launched relentless, suicidal attacks. After all, it was on its home turf, and it feared nothing.

But after a dozen clashes, it discovered that this lifeform was impossible to kill. Its Power was frightening, and most importantly, its Energy reserves were unfathomable. The worm not only failed to kill its opponent but nearly exhausted itself to death in the process. Furthermore, it could tell that this creature wasn’t even using its full strength—it was just treating the worm like a plaything.

As a result, harassed day after day, it would immediately flee at the slightest sign of trouble to avoid further physical and mental devastation.

Unfortunately for it, no matter where it ran, Zhou Yuanjue could always find it.

Today, it was found yet again. Filled with extreme helplessness, it had no choice but to turn its body around and attack Zhou Yuanjue with all its might.

Slacking off wasn’t an option. If it held back, Zhou Yuanjue would strike for real and beat it to a pulp. Attacking with full force was tiring, but at least it kept the worm from getting injured.

It wondered when such a miserable worm life would finally come to an end.

The grief-stricken Earth Rock Worm once again began to be ravaged by Zhou Yuanjue.

Meanwhile, outside the Chiyan Safety Zone.

Two unfamiliar lifeforms had arrived at some unknown point in time.

One of them was a towering Rhino Creature. It had black, wrinkled skin, a single horn growing atop its head, and a ferocious visage. Its tall, brawny body radiated a terrifying sense of oppression.

The other was a humanoid woman with fiery red hair cascading over her shoulders. She had a slender figure, and within her eyes lay the reflection of a blood moon.

"The Chiyan Safety Zone. This is the place, right?" the tall Rhino Creature said in a deep voice.

"It should be. Zhou Yuanjue, one of the candidates from a Low level Civilization. He is the strongest among the newest batch of candidates. Not long ago, in the Mimicry True Realm of the Dominic Wilderness, he defeated Qingling·Divine Intent and took the final reward.

"His specific potential is unknown, but he should be one of the key targets monitored behind the scenes. His strength is estimated to have reached above the First Layer Transformation Boundary..." the red-haired woman read out a string of Data as she tapped open her True Talisman Interface.

"To think that a candidate from a Low level Civilization could defeat the heir of the Divine Profound Clan. What a novelty. It seems the caliber of this batch isn’t much to look at.

"However, without any factional background, this kind of person should be easy to deal with. Joining us means gaining a massive amount of resources. I imagine he won’t refuse. After all, our Ghost Ruins is the third-ranked organization in the Chaotic Paradise," the Rhino Creature said.

"No, you’re wrong. On the contrary, this kind of person is the hardest to deal with.

"Rising from a Low level Civilization, having smooth sailing all the way, and then defeating the heir of a top-tier clan—his confidence must have inflated to a certain degree. People like this are often extremely arrogant. They believe they are unique and more blessed by heaven than the geniuses of top-tier clans. The path he wants to walk is far more ambitious than theirs," the red-haired woman said.

"Oh? So you’re saying he’ll refuse?" the Rhino Creature asked.

"Most likely. But it doesn’t matter. The bounty on his head offers five hundred thousand Value Points per kill. It’s free money. After killing him a few times, he’ll probably get the picture.

"After all, no matter how strong he is, he’s still a newcomer with only abilities slightly above the First Layer Transformation Boundary," the red-haired woman said indifferently.
