Chapter 980: Venture
Chapter 980: Venture
There was a patch of darkness and void ahead. This place didn’t have any space-time waves or energy waves. One could only feel endless deathly silence.
“No wonder they say that the dark void between star domains is a universe graveyard.”
Li Fuchen could feel sword dao source in the dark void ahead, but it was very scarce. In other words, when fighting within the dark void, one’s energy would be depleted 100 times, 1000 times or even 10,000 times faster than when fighting in star domains. As such, even star domain-level heaven lords had the risk of dying here.
With a flash of sword light, Li Fuchen instantly plunged into the dark void.
“Eh? There is an astral colossal beast here.”
From far, Li Fuchen could see a massive figure moving. It was a horse-headed monster with more than a few dozen pairs of wings and it was very fast.
“An astral colossal beast’s energy comes from its own body. It is unlike most races who rely on the universe source. Therefore, the dark void wouldn’t affect the astral colossal beasts too much.”
Before becoming a heaven lord, any race would have limited energy within their bodies and it was impossible to compare with astral colossal beasts. After becoming a heaven lord, the amount of energy might seem endless, but one’s energy still had a limit. However, by extracting the universe source, it would become endless. After losing the support of the universe source, one’s limits would become obvious again.
To a certain extent, astral colossal beasts were the perfect universe lifeforms that could adapt to any environment.
Li Fuchen and the horse-headed monster noticed each other at the same time.
Swish!
The horse-headed monster was obviously intelligent. The moment it discovered Li Fuchen, its speed increased by ten times and vanished without a trace.
Li Fuchen smiled and didn’t give chase.
With his current speed, it wasn’t difficult to catch up to the horse-headed monster. However, there was no meaning to do so.
After passing through the dark void, Li Fuchen arrived at the nearby Purple Pole Star Domain.
The Purple Pole Star Domain was once similar to the Crosswise River Star Domain, it only had one star domain-level heaven lord, the Purple Pole Lord.
Of course, Li Fuchen didn’t know if there were any star domain-level heaven lords that were secluding themselves.
The Purple Pole Star Domain’s most famous universe city was called the Dragon Pond City.
Dragon Pond City was famous for the dragon pond at the center of the city. Legends said that the dragon pond had already existed before Dragon Pond City was built. However, the dragon pond was actually 10,000 times bigger than the current dragon pond. Inside the dragon pond, there was a god dragon that spelt there and after it left, the dragon pond was also destroyed.
Even the destroyed dragon pond was still abnormally extraordinary. If an ordinary person drank a mouthful of dragon pond water, they would possess extraordinary strength and could live for 360 years. If a martial artist drank the dragon pond water, they would be immune to diseases and could make rapid progress, and could even have the chance to produce a trace of giant dragon bloodline. Apart from that, the dragon pond contained the water essence and it was quite beneficial to saints.
Since Li Fuchen was at Dragon Pond City, he wanted to taste the most reputable Jade Dragon Wine.
The Jade Dragon Restaurant was the only place that provided Jade Dragon Wine in Dragon Pond City.
At the window seat on the 12th floor, Li Fuchen’s table had flasks of fine wine.
All these wines were the Jade Dragon Wine and each flask was equivable to a bottle.
The Jade Dragon Wine was truly worthy of its fame. It didn’t just have a sweet and mellow taste, the alcohol would spread throughout the body. It felt like a dragon raging freely and fearlessly inside a quiet and serene place.
As the Jade Dragon Wine was too good, Li Fuchen bought the restaurant’s entire supply. It was a total of a few hundred bottles and it cost Li Fuchen more than a billion peak-grade spirit stones.
Currently, Li Fuchen’s spatial ring had plenty of fine wine, like the World Dew that cost 5 million peak-grade spirit stones for each bottle, the Star Fluid Wine which cost 1 million peak-grade spirit stones for each bottle, the Myriad Flower Brew which cost 4 million each bottle, and the Crosswise River Scenery that cost 8 million peak-grade spirit stones. All these wines were famous in the Crosswise River Star Domain.
Li Fuchen decided that when he was venturing the universe, he would collect all sorts of fine wine, otherwise it would be too boring during his travels.
“What did you say? There is no more Jade Dragon Wine? Don’t cheat me, your Jade Dragon Restaurant stocks up hundreds of bottles every year and you are telling me they are sold out?”
“Sky Wave Saint Lord, it is really out of stock. Just recently, a customer bought all the Jade Dragon Wine in the restaurant. Why don’t you come again in a few more days, there will definitely be a resupply.”
“This is a joke. I have brought my friends along and I cannot afford to be humiliated.” The Sky Wave Saint Lord was an arrogant youth with a noble aura. He said to the manager, “Who is the one who bought the Jade Dragon Wine? Tell me, I will talk with him.”
“Sky Wave Saint Lord, I don’t think this is good.” The manager wiped his sweat with a difficult expression.
“Manager, don’t forget, the Sky Wave Saint Lord’s father is the Sky Dome Heaven Lord and also the Purple Pole Lord’s great-grandson. If you are afraid of that person, aren’t you afraid of offending the Sky Wave Saint Lord?” The Sky Wave Saint Lord’s friend spoke in a stern tone.
“This way please.” The manager yielded. The Jade Dragon Restaurant’s owner might be the Dragon Pond City Lord, Dragon Pond Heaven Lord, but the Sky Wave Saint Lord’s background was too immense. Not even the Dragon Pond Heaven Lord would be willing to offend the Purple Pole Lord, let alone a restaurant manager like him.
On the 12th floor, the manager brought the Sky Wave Saint Lord’s group to Li Fuchen.
“Dear guest, could you please spare some Jade Dragon Wine? The Jade Dragon Restaurant is willing to repurchase each bottle for an additional 50,000 peak-grade spirit stones.” The manager’s tone was very sincere and had an apologetic expression.
“Sure, I can spare 10 bottles. There is no need to add the price.”
Li Fuchen nodded. He could see that the manager met with some trouble and he wasn’t an unreasonable person.
“How can 10 bottles be enough?! At least 20 bottles!” The Sky Wave Saint Lord wasn’t pleased with Li Fuchen and intentionally said it out loud.
Actually, he only wanted to order around 8 to 10 bottles, it was impossible for him to order 20 bottles. After all, each bottle cost 3 million peak-grade spirit stones, 20 bottles would be 60 million peak-grade spirit stones. Even if he was the Sky Dome Heaven Lord’s son and the Purple Pole Lord’s great-grandson, his personal wealth was only a few billion peak-grade spirit stones. He wasn’t going to spend 60 million on a single meal.
Hearing the response, Li Fuchen’s expression turned cold, “Apologies, I am not selling anymore.”
Li Fuchen could already guess that the Sky Wave Saint Lord had a shocking background. But unfortunately, Li Fuchen didn’t care.
“You are courting death. Do you know who is the father of the Sky Wave Saint Lord?” The friend that berated the manager earlier was now pointing at Li Fuchen.
“Get lost.”
A horrifying qi presence burst out from Li Fuchen’s body. The entire Dragon Pond City was in a deathly silence.
“You are?”
The Sky Wave Saint Lord was terrified. He had met with the Purple Pole Lord several times. How could he know that Li Fuchen was a star domain-level heaven lord? Knowing that he actually offended a star domain-level heaven lord, his heart was suddenly horrified.
Plop Plop Plop…
With the Sky Wave Saint Lord included, everyone knelt down.
It wasn’t because they wanted to kneel down, but Li Fuchen was emitting a pressure that was too intense. Along with his burst of qi presence, it gave them an unprecedented spirit impact.
“This?”
In the city lord residence, the Dragon Pond Heaven Lord had a change of expression. He quickly rushed over.
“Troublesome.” Li Fuchen continued to drink his wine.
He had hid his qi presence because a star domain-level heaven lord’s qi presence was too overwhelming. It wouldn’t give him an opportunity to experience life. Therefore, when he entered the city, he hid his qi presence.
“Greetings to the esteemed lord, I am the Dragon Pond Heaven Lord.” Outside the restaurant, the Dragon Pond Heaven Lord’s voice could be heard.
After drinking the last flask of wine on the table, Li Fuchen walked down the restaurant and said to the Dragon Pond Heaven Lord, “The Jade Dragon Wine isn’t bad, but someone disrupted my wine mood.”
The Dragon Pond Heaven Lord quickly proposed, “My lord, if you don’t mind, you can come to my humble abode to drink wine. Other than the Jade Dragon Wine, I have collected other fine wines too.” The Dragon Pond Heaven Lord was also a wine appreciator.
“Alright, lead the way.” Li Fuchen was indeed not satisfied yet.
Once Li Fuchen left, the Sky Wave Saint Lord fell on his butt and was drenched in sweat.
As for the friend who pointed at Li Fuchen earlier, he had already fainted.
“This isn’t good, I need to inform my father and great-grandfather.” The Sky Wave Saint Lord took out a communication token and started to send messages.
