Chapter 989 - 989 Battle at the River Bottom
989 Battle at the River Bottom
“We’re here!”
Perfected Lord Long suddenly stopped, causing Lin Feng to come to a sudden halt as well.
“Huh? This mountain range has such a rich Chaotic aura.”
Lin Feng looked ahead. From afar, there was a vortex in the sky, surrounded by nine mountains. They seemed to form a natural array.
“Has no one from the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce investigated a place with such obvious signs?”
Lin Feng was a little curious and confused. If there was really an ore vein here, it must have been mined by the people of the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce. How could no one have discovered it?
“Heh, of course there’s an ore vein here. Look, what’s there?”
Perfected Lord Dragon smiled mysteriously. Lin Feng looked around. In the middle of the nine mountains was a huge open-pit mine. Some abandoned ores could be seen everywhere, and pits could even be seen.
“This place has already been mined?”
Lin Feng’s expression changed abruptly.
“That’s right. The terrain and environment here are so special. How can the people of the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce not have discovered it? In reality, this was the largest ore vein in the Skywood Continent back then. However, this place has already been mined by the people of the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce for tens of thousands of years. It has long been exhausted. There isn’t even any ore of passable quality left.”
“So it has already been mined. No wonder there’s no one from the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce. But in that case, how can there still be any ore veins here?”
Lin Feng took a closer look. He even used his mental power to investigate the place inch by inch, but did not find any ore veins. On second thought, it made sense. The people of the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce had mined here for tens of thousands of years. They had searched everywhere.
How could there be any large ore vein here?
“If it’s so easy to find, we wouldn’t be here. Do you see the great river below?”
Lin Feng nodded. There was actually a surging great river below, forming a unique scenery.
“That mineral vein is under the river. Hence, even after digging for tens of thousands of years at the side, the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce still failed to discover this mineral vein.”
“What? Under the great river?”
Lin Feng had indeed not expected there to be any ore vein under the river. However, now that he was reminded by Perfected Lord Long, he took a closer look at the river. Even though the river was constantly surging, it really seemed to have a trace more Chaotic aura than the water elsewhere.
If not for how the river flowed continuously, under the influence of the Chaotic prime crystal ore below, the entire river would probably become a Chaotic river.
Of course, if that was the case, it would have long been discovered by the people of the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce.
Perfected Lord Long and Lin Feng plunged into the bottom of the river. Both of them were Chaotic Perfected Lords. They could go anywhere. A mere river was naturally nothing.
The river was very deep. The deeper they went, the darker it became.
“Who is it?”
Suddenly, the two of them sensed an obscure aura nearby. Even though it was very faint, the two of them could still sense it.
Swoosh.
Perfected Lord Long opened his hand. There seemed to be an infinite suction force in his hand. A huge vortex quickly formed in the river, and swept towards a certain direction.
“Heh, someone’s here to join in the fun again. This ore vein is mine. If you don’t want to be sent to reincarnate, get lost!”
With a cold shout, a cultivator covered in muscles, but whose face was not clearly visible, blocked in front of the two of them. The aura on his body was extremely powerful. He was clearly also a top-notch Perfected Lord.
Lin Feng and Perfected Lord Long’s expressions changed abruptly. They looked at each other and saw a trace of surprise in each other’s eyes. Someone was actually one step ahead of them.
They could even see many figures digging continuously at the bottom of the river. Clearly, the other party had already mined here for a period of time. They might have already mined many top-grade Chaotic prime crystals.
“Where is Perfected Lord Changsheng?”
Perfected Lord Long asked coldly. Perfected Lord Changsheng was a top-notch Perfected Lord who had sent a message to him. If he had not encountered danger, Perfected Lord Changsheng would not have sent a message to Perfected Lord Long.
He was most likely dead now.
“It’s really that fool, Perfected Lord Changsheng! Hmph, he’s long gone to reincarnation, and there are a few Perfected Lords accompanying him. Although top-grade Chaotic prime crystals are very attractive, you have to know your place. This ore vein is not something you can touch.”
The unfamiliar Perfected Lord kept threatening them, but he did not attack. Clearly, the other party also sensed that Lin Feng and Perfected Lord Long were not to be trifled with. Perhaps there was another reason, and that was that the other party did not want to fight either, in case it attracted the attention of the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce.
Once a top-notch Perfected Lord like Lin Feng used a divine ability, such a commotion could not be concealed at all.
“Looks like we can only follow Plan B, and mine it by force!” Perfected Lord Long said in a low voice.
Plan A was that no one else would discover it, and they would mine it in secret. However, the possibility of this was actually very low. After all, Perfected Lord Long had received a message from Perfected Lord Changsheng. At the very least, Perfected Lord Changsheng was the one who discovered the ore vein. Moreover, he had sent a message that they had encountered danger. It was impossible that the other party would not mine the ore vein.
Then, they could only follow Plan B. This was also the only feasible plan, to crush the enemy with absolute strength! However, this way, they could only have a month at most. Moreover, they might very well face the encirclement and suppression of the top Perfected Lords of the Prime Sky Chamber of Commerce during this period. They had to defeat them.
Moreover, even if they defeated them, they had to leave the Skywood Continent within a month. Otherwise, if Perfected Deity Prime Sky descended, they would not be able to leave.
“Attack!”
The two of them transmitted their voices secretly.
“Glacial Ancient Flaming Palm!”
Perfected Lord Long used his divine ability. Even though his divine power was vaguely weakened underwater, he had a body tempering divine ability. He could use it freely no matter the environment.
Boom.
The other party also threw a punch. A ball of blue light bloomed. It was actually also a body tempering divine ability.
The terrifying forces collided violently, instantly ripping apart the river. Towering columns of water soared into the sky, as if a monster at the bottom of the river was stirring up the waves.
At this moment, in the waves that filled the sky, the bodies of Perfected Lord Long and the mysterious Perfected Lord opposite him shook, and they actually both took a few steps back. It was obvious that Perfected Lord Long still had a slight advantage, but that was all.
Perfected Lord Long was an attendant personally invited by Perfected Lord Fortune to guard the chamber of commerce. His strength was naturally extraordinary. If not for Lin Feng’s cosmic power, he probably would not have been able to do anything to Perfected Lord Long.
Yet that mysterious Perfected Lord was actually on par with Perfected Lord Long. This surprised Lin Feng a little.
However, despite his surprise, Lin Feng had no intention of standing by and doing nothing. Every second counted now. It was a competition for opportunities. There was no right or wrong. Hence, the moment Perfected Lord Long attacked, he had already sneaked up at the side.
The two of them had just taken a few steps back when Lin Feng suddenly transformed into a stream of light.
“Spirit Flame Hallowed Body!”
Lin Feng suddenly threw out a punch, like a dazzling ball of flames. It was the body tempering divine ability that Lin Feng had just cultivated, the Spirit Flame Hallowed Body!
