NOVPUBChapter 1043: Chapter 143: The Origin Vein Land Chapter 1043: Chapter 143: The Origin Vein Land Resources are always the most needed for development.
Chu Yuan’s empire must acquire the most resources from within the Heavenly Crack in the shortest time to grow strong.
And the strength of the empire was a reflection of his own strength.
If the empire had enough powerful individuals, capable of amassing a terrifying and majestic national fate, his cultivation could be raised to the second level of Sovereign in a short period of time.
One could say that the Divine Dynasty was his foundation; it bore responsibilities and in turn, it bestowed upon him great strength.
“The Commander of the Mysterious Yellow has also broken through to the Sovereign God level; he has assimilated numerous heavens and earths within the Heavenly Crack Mountain.”
Chu Yuan felt a jolt in the national fate and said, “However, the exploration within the Heavenly Crack Mountain has led to massive casualties. There are all kinds of natural disasters and dangers, with the loss of dozens of warships, and a great number of people perishing on the path of pioneering.”
Pioneering, the exploration of unfamiliar regions, was always dangerous and comparable to a grand formation.
But such costs had allowed Chu Yuan to discover many resource sites.
The resources of the Heavenly Crack Mountain were being continuously unearthed. After his cultivation rose to the level of a Sovereign God, the entire Divine Martial Celestial Field was enveloped by the national fate, allowing for horrifying acceleration with the accelerated pace provided by the Human Emperor Sword which could achieve one day in the multiverse, equivalent to a hundred years internally.
“There’s no need to worry about the consumption of resources; the resources of the multiverse are now inexhaustible for me.”
Chu Yuan had the Human Emperor Sword, which allowed him to manipulate such terrifying temporal acceleration.
The Goddess had told him that within the multiverse, the most powerful Divine Artifact was the Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact. Although the Human Emperor Sword was introduced as a Supreme God Artifact, he understood that with boundless human faith, it could be propelled to the quality of the Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact.
The strength of the Human Emperor Sword depended upon the strength of Chu Yuan’s Divine Dynasty Empire.
He knew that the multiverse was a more vast heaven and earth, where he would face even stronger opponents, but this only served to ignite his passion.
He did not fear challenges; he feared the absence of challenges.
The development of the Divine Martial Celestial Field was also rapid.
This was mainly because the fragmented forces of the previous Purple Origin Field lacked the strength to explore Heavenly Crack Mountain, but with the unified Divine Martial, advantageous forces could be concentrated for excavation.
Within a region of the Heavenly Crack Mountain, there was a basin rift valley surrounded by continuous mountains.
“Such rich elemental energy!”
The War God led a team, and a large number of warships charged into the area.
Along the way, they had slain many ferocious beasts and destroyed eight warships in the assault on this region, relying on their formidable strength to push through to this area, where they immediately felt a completely different fluctuation of elemental energy.
“Sir, this is a Spirit Gathering site.”
Ji Zhong inhaled deeply as well.
“Spirit Gathering site!”
The War God’s eyes widened, as it was only through the Spirit Seeking Compass that he found this place.
He suddenly saw something different here; it seemed like there was a dense swirl of elemental energy, exclaiming in surprise, “Could it be that there is an elemental vein here, one that doesn’t seem to be of the lowest quality?”
So-called elemental veins were agglomerations of elemental energy, capable of incarnating as mountain ranges. They autonomously absorbed and precipitated energy from the multiverse, incredibly rare.
“Very likely!” Ji Zhong also said excitedly, “Sir, look! The Divine Drugs in this basin are more abundant than elsewhere, and these mountains—rich and plentiful with minerals—probably constitute a mid-grade elemental vein, maybe even a high-grade one. In Heavenly Crack Mountain, it’s an area not often found!”
“There’s a record in Clouds Amidst the Heavens; they too once possessed a high-grade elemental vein, but the emergence of the Apocalypse Storm nearly eradicated their energy. Even in the ancient and formidable Supreme Divine Dynasties, there were Emperor-grade veins!”
Fortunately, Chu Yuan had saved and subjugated Clouds Amidst the Heavens; otherwise, he would never have known so much.
“In that case, Ji Zhong, return and report to His Majesty. I will lead the team to guard this place, excavate the mines, and collect resources.”
The War God thought aloud, “Also, have the fleet keep an eye on our surroundings constantly, to prevent other forces from getting close. For some time to come, the empire’s development will rely on this elemental vein site.”
Although Heavenly Crack Mountain was vast, the sites with elemental veins were still very rare.
“Oh? The War God’s team has discovered an elemental vein site; this is indeed good news.”
Chu Yuan received the message, his expression showing joy, and said, “The enhanced version of the Dimensional Warships has also produced two units, which can be given for the War God to use. The enhanced version can withstand the bombardment of Sovereign forces.”
The discovery of an elemental vein site was a cause for great celebration for the Divine Martial, and many experts were mobilized there to begin excavation.
But three months after the excavation began, disaster struck.
“Your Majesty, a group of us were excavating the Primordial Vein when suddenly an Apocalypse Storm blew out, turning the entire team into skeletons with extremely gruesome deaths. The War God has checked it over, but he dared not make a final decision.”
Mo Tu reported to Chu Yuan.
“It seems this danger cannot be resolved by the War God; only I must take action personally.”
Chu Yuan was not surprised. There had been many accidents during the excavation period, and most were resolved by the War God. If it truly came to the point of no other option, the War God would not have sought his help.
Chu Yuan set out, traversing the Sky Break Mountain through the Void Gate.
Although his recent strength had not yet broken through to the Second Heaven, it was undoubtedly much more formidable compared to when he first encountered the multiverse.
“Your Majesty!”
The War God, seeing Chu Yuan, greeted him respectfully.
He was also furious, as that dangerous area had cost him quite a few subordinates.
“Lead me to take a look.”
Chu Yuan said.
Under the War God’s guidance, it wasn’t long before the space ahead suddenly lost its brilliance, becoming gloomy and terrifying, dark and ominous, with cold winds whirling about everywhere, stepping into which meant immediate death.
The scene in front of them was akin to the Demon Realm.
“Your Majesty, it wasn’t like this here originally. It started when the excavation released this aura. At first, it only affected a small area, but in a matter of months, it spread to the entire valley. I’ve been in and barely made it out.”
The War God, still shaken, continued, “I worry that if this aura continues to spread, this entire Primordial Vein will be ruined.”
“There’s always a reason.”
Chu Yuan looked toward the dense black fog, smelling the scent of death.
“Come with me. We need to get to the bottom of this.”
Chu Yuan walked into the area, and instantly the deathly cold wind enveloped him, but with a shake of his aura, the Devouring Domain expanded, devouring the incessant cold wind as they encountered their nemesis upon reaching him.
Within a radius of ten thousand zhang around him, it was all bright.
To Chu Yuan, this deathly cold wind was also a form of energy.
“Your Majesty’s Divine Power!”
The former Sovereign of the Purple Origin Field watched the scene, his eyes nearly popping out. This cold wind, which even the Sovereigns feared, was so effortlessly nullified in the presence of His Majesty.
“With Your Majesty here, the cold wind is not an issue!”
The War God was uplifted.
“Find the source of this place.”
Chu Yuan continued moving forward, pursuing the strongest concentrations of power, the darker and denser the black cold wind became toward that area, until finally, it became so thick that even the Sovereign could no longer see the path.
Chu Yuan tore with both hands, bright and dazzling, dispelling the black fog.
“Our fallen soldiers!”
The War God instantly saw against the cliff face, over a hundred bodies clad in Black Armor, but they had all turned into skeletons without any flesh left on them.
His heart ached. These hundred were the elite of the Divine Military, and now they died here, unexplained and unclear.
“Gather the soldiers’ bones, dispense the compensation to their descendants, and bury them in the Empire’s mausoleum. They are all my soldiers, people of merit, and the Divine Dynasty will not forget them,”
Chu Yuan said.
For so many years, the Divine Military had always taken very good care of the compensation and arrangements for the fallen soldiers.
“And this should be the source.”
Chu Yuan’s gaze suddenly fell upon a smooth as mirror, pitch-black cliff, from which cold winds carrying particles of death whistled out.
