Chapter 70 It Came Without Any Effort [Old World]

In the void of space, shattered rocks flew.

Two figures drifted outside the starship.

"The collection point is not far ahead."

Holy Spring Plow carried his hands behind his back, opened his domain, and cast his gaze toward the dark void in the distance.

"Lord Spring Plow is very abnormal today."

Red Dragon hummed softly. He glanced at the starship behind him and teased, "Not only did you agree to my suggestion, but you're also willing to leave the starship with me to carry out the mission."

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words.

For the past four years, the two had been at odds, not giving an inch.

But today, Spring Plow suddenly took a big step back. In the past, with the status of Holy Spring Plow, it would have been impossible for him to personally carry out such a low-level task as "collecting resources."

But now, Spring Plow's mind was entirely focused on the upcoming suppression.

"Is that so?"

He replied casually, "It is right to contribute to the church."

Red Dragon chuckled.

Both of them had guessed what the other was thinking. One proposed leaving the starship, and the other chose to follow voluntarily.

In fact, what would happen next...

Both sides knew very well.

Red Dragon followed Holy Spring Plow to the turbulent stream zone. The originally "stable" void suddenly generated bursts of fierce wind.

This wind was very cold.

But for the two who controlled the [Tidal] authority, this level of cold wind was nothing.

"Lord Spring Plow, is this where you wanted to bring me?"

Red Dragon placed his hand on the hilt of his saber and took the initiative to step into this turbulent stream zone, still with a calm expression.

Holy Spring Plow turned his back at this moment.

He stretched out a palm and held it in front of his chest.

"Whoosh!"

Countless water waves rippled out from the void, tearing apart this unstable space and turning it into a cage of turquoise water!

Red Dragon's eyes suddenly became gloomy.

He was very familiar with this cage...

Four years ago, Spring Plow used this power to trap him, drag him into the ice sea, and torture him severely.

"Not bad, this is the 'water cage' I prepared for you on behalf of the God Seat."

Holy Spring Plow put one hand behind his back, controlled the huge water cage with the other, trapping Red Dragon inside. His tone was indifferent, and the way he looked at the person in the cage was as if he were looking at a dead man.

Little did he know that Red Dragon was looking at him the same way.

"Lord Spring Plow, four years have passed... it seems you haven't improved much?"

Red Dragon pressed on the hilt of his saber, with a fake smile.

He wasn't in a hurry to draw his saber, but wanted to see what tricks the other party still had.

This place was not too far from the starship. Stepping into the turbulent stream zone didn't mean he would attack... According to his guess, Spring Plow would at least teleport him to somewhere outside the [Old World] before truly starting the war. And this war would definitely not be just Spring Plow alone! If this guy had the courage to fight him one-on-one, he wouldn't have waited until now to make a move!

As expected!

After the water cage was set up, the space outside the turbulent stream zone shook for a while, and several figures swept into it!

It was those new Holy Ones under Holy Spring Plow!

After the Storm Church entered the [Old World], it increased its investment in resources for high-level transcendents within the church. The Storm God Seat even actively opened up the perception of the "Dream of Fire Seed." As long as they comprehended the second domain, they could obtain a wisp of the Dream of Fire Seed... With such strong support, several titled Holy Ones were born within the Storm in four years!

However, the strength of these titles varied.

Even four years ago.

They wouldn't have been in Red Dragon's eyes... And now, even more so.

"Is that all?"

Red Dragon still pressed on the hilt of his saber and asked softly, "Bringing five titled Holy Ones, you think... you have a complete certainty of winning this battle?"

"Enough to kill you."

Spring Plow sneered, manipulating the water cage to begin to sink.

Of course, he knew that in a battle between source experts, ordinary titles could not influence the outcome... But if the two sources were in a complete stalemate, then even the slightest external force could change the outcome, let alone five titles?

Buzz buzz buzz!

Patches of snow-white silver light splashed out in the void of the turbulent stream zone!

Holy Spring Plow manipulated the water cage, touching the "gate" of the turbulent stream zone. This space gate was the coordinates that Holy Sea Eye had explored long ago. Through this gate, they could be teleported to the void six hundred miles away!

Most importantly...

This gate was not a one-way teleportation.

After the battle was over, he could also bring people back to this turbulent stream zone through the gate on the other side.

Six hundred miles away was the real battlefield!

"Rumble rumble rumble!"

The water cage slowly sank, immersing itself in the gate!

Red Dragon did not draw his saber here, but allowed Holy Spring Plow to press him into the gate. He looked coldly at the five Holy Ones, plus Spring Plow, a total of six figures, surrounding him.

He was ready for a bloody battle!

But...

The moment he was immersed in the void gate, Red Dragon's heart suddenly trembled.

The water cage was soaked in the gate, and Red Dragon was teleported away by the spatial turbulence. At this moment, he felt a familiar aura.

Red Dragon reached out his palm as if possessed, and grasped at the void.

The next moment, the teleportation was completed.

The few people who surrounded the water cage frowned. They noticed Red Dragon's strangeness... In just a few short seconds, Red Dragon's originally murderous expression had been replaced by bewilderment and confusion.

The person who was preparing for a bloody battle the previous second.

Actually let go of the saber hilt at this moment!

"...?"

Holy Spring Plow's mind suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of unease!

Red Dragon slowly spread out his palm.

In his palm, a faint spark of light scattered in the void like broken dandelion petals, turning into even more subtle and smaller fireflies. This scene had a strange beauty. It was clearly a tiny spark, but at this moment it attracted everyone's attention!

"This is... fire?"

A Holy One said in a daze, "How can there be fire in the [Old World]?"

This question asked what everyone was thinking.

But what really made Spring Plow uneasy was not that a wisp of fire had appeared in the Old World.

But...

Holy Spring Plow felt that he was familiar with this wisp of fire.

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.

The flickering flame line, like a burnt-out wick, was still stained with an unsettling aura of darkness.

Wait.

An unsettling aura of darkness?

"This is... Nether Fire!!!"

Holy Spring Plow's pupils contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. At this moment, he suddenly remembered why he was familiar with this flame! He had seen it many years ago!

Thirty years ago, the King of the Underworld had wreaked havoc with this Nether Fire! Killing gods when they blocked, killing Buddhas when they blocked!

And the King of the Underworld back then had now been confirmed to have "fallen"...

The new generation of King of the Underworld was Gu Shen!

The moment this thought flashed through Holy Spring Plow's mind, a slight trembling sound came from the distant [Old World]. The wisp of flame that Red Dragon was holding in his palm scattered like blossoming lights.

At the same moment.

The master of the Nether Fire clearly sensed the strangeness of "this place."

The scattered faint light spread out like ripples—

"Chichi chichi!"

The void and the Nether Fire trembled together. In just an instant, this wisp of faint flame line spread out a hundred meters in place!

The five titled Holy Ones who had crossed the gate with Holy Spring Plow were all horrified at this moment!

They didn't have time to react at all, and were cut in half by the Nether Fire ripples. At this moment, a strong sense of unease emerged in their hearts, but it was too late.

The next scene... was extremely bizarre.

The ripples of the Nether Fire were only about one centimeter thick, but wherever they passed, the void shattered and the domain broke!

All five Holy Ones summoned their domains!

But...

The Nether Fire cut through the domains as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. After a breath, the domains of the five Holy Ones were cut open, and their waists were also cut in half!

"Zzzzzz!"

Holy Spring Plow stood there blankly, his face splattered with a large pool of blood!

He looked at the Holy One closest to him, who stretched out his palm, still wanting to call for help, but in an instant, the Nether Fire had already drained and squeezed out the transcendent source matter and soul from his body.

The void fell into extreme silence.

Holy Spring Plow lowered his head. His body was still intact at the moment... The reason why he was not cut in half by this flame line was not because his strength was strong enough, but because the spread of the flame line happened to stop there. The Nether Fire ripples did not attack him. Spring Plow knew that this was not because he was lucky.

But because the person who controlled the Nether Fire did it deliberately.

……

……

"It's true that what you search far and wide comes easily."

"I thought I would have to look for a while, but I didn't expect that in less than half a day, someone would throw themselves into the net and take the initiative to teleport in front of me."

A chuckle came from the void.

The next moment, the space in front of Holy Spring Plow was directly torn apart!

It was a fair and tender palm, cutting open the void as easily as tearing paper, and then slowly stepping out.

The young man had red lips and white teeth, and was wearing a Shrouding Robe from the Starship Civilization era.

Behind him followed the Rust Bone General, who was as burly as a mountain.

The appearance of these two gave Spring Plow a great sense of oppression... He looked at the young man tearing apart the void in front of him in disbelief, and subconsciously opened his mouth: "Gu Shen... is it really you?"

When the wisp of Nether Fire appeared, he had guessed the identity of the flame's master.

It's just that Holy Spring Plow's brain was blank at this moment.

He couldn't understand why Gu Shen would appear in front of him at this moment!

Wasn't Gu Shen already dead?

Moreover, even if the Storm sailed south, crossing the Ice Sea, even if he was lucky enough to survive and desperately chased after it... there was no way he could overtake the Storm in advance and complete this interception in the north.

"It's me."

Gu Shen gathered the Shrouding Robe and said with a smile: "Consider yourself lucky to have good eyes and be able to recognize me. It's not in vain that I spared your cheap life just now."

He remembered very clearly.

When [Deep Sea] issued the wanted order, Red Dragon originally had a chance to escape the pursuit.

It was precisely because Holy Spring Plow intervened that Red Dragon was arrested.

Putting this matter aside.

Back then in Sangzhou Cave, Gu Shen was heavily targeted, which could be considered as forging a grudge with Holy Spring Plow.

He had never been a benevolent person, and he would always take revenge.

The reason why he spared Holy Spring Plow's life just now was naturally not out of mercy.

It was just because... he had promised the Rust Bone General that he would let the latter have a good fight.

For the current Rust Bone, there were not many suitable opponents who could engage in a life-and-death battle.

And Spring Plow happened to be one.

It would be a pity to kill him like this.

Gu Shen took a step back and said softly: "Mr. Rust Bone, this person... I'll leave him to you."
