Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

The terrain of Camel Mountain was very strange. The mountain range was a continuity of undulation, and from afar, it looked like a group of camels. Thus, it was how the Camel Mountain got its name.

The radius of the Camel Mountain was 3000 miles, and it was nicknamed Thousands Great Mountain by the insiders. There were at least several hundred groups of bandit legions living inside. Of course, these bandit legions were very weak. There might not even be young bandit regions if it wasn’t because this was the common border of two regions. After all, the Yi Clan and Wu Clan’s armies were stationed nearby.

Jiang Yi rushed over and reached the Camel Mountain vicinity on the third day, but he did not ascend the mountain immediately. Rather, he concealed himself in a canyon which was a hundred miles away from the mountain. He released his Divine Perception to examine a radius of a million miles. He ascertained the terrain entirely and also had a clear understanding of where all the several hundred bandit legions strongholds were located.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you emerge victorious in every battle!

How was Jiang Yi going to ambush and kill if he had no understanding of what was going on around him? If a few large-scale bandit groups were occupying the vicinity, he might very likely be killed by the bandits even before he could perform the interception.

Fortunately, there wasn’t much of a disparity between the actual place. According to the Shadow Emperor’s subordinates’ information, the bandit legions in the Camel Mountain weren’t large scale; and from how the illusion had covered the region, he could tell that even the strongest legion should only have a few thousand members. A bandit legion which only had a few thousand members definitely wouldn’t have overly powerful martial artists. If there was such a powerful bandit legion, all the hundreds of bandit legions would have been unified.

“Wu Ni and the others should need another two more days before they can arrive here. I should gather some astral winds first!”

Jiang Yi withdrew his Divine Perception because he had confirmed that there was no one within the 100-mile radius around him. His figure swiftly shot up like a violent dragon while both his hands brandished. Countless astral winds around were being pulled over immediately. Subsequently, they were all infused into his palm before they were ultimately absorbed by the ninth star sphere.

A great battle was about to begin, and the more astral winds he had, the better. This way, he could release them to attack anytime he wished and could release the Astral Winds Divine Shield to protect himself. Jiang Yi flew higher overtime, and the astral winds above him got denser. The speed at which he was absorbing it grew even quicker.

“So satisfying. I wonder if I continued absorbing the astral winds, would the ninth star sphere transform after it was filled with astral wind energy. Not right… earlier star spheres before it have yet to transform. It wouldn’t be logical.”

Jiang Yi flew 300 meters high and didn’t dare to continue flying higher. Rather, he spiraled around the surroundings and absorbed the astral winds in the vicinity continuously. He paused in mid-air after he had fully absorbed all the astral winds a mile around him before he scanned with his divine senses towards the ninth star sphere.

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi’s face was filled with astonishment when his divine senses swept over. He had absorbed at least a hundred thousand strands of astral winds. However, the amount of astral wind energy in the ninth star sphere was still nowhere near to being filled.

The ninth star sphere was as big as the other stars. Even after so much astral wind energy had been absorbed in, it was only occupying a ten-millionth of the space within the ninth star sphere. The interior of that star sphere seemed to be another zone or perhaps was a world. Everything that entered would become extremely insignificant.

“Ninth star sphere transforming?”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly. From how the situation was, even if he was to absorb the astral winds for a few years or even for dozens of years without rest, the energy within the star sphere wouldn’t be filled and wouldn’t transform as well.

“It doesn’t matter. I should absorb the astral winds first. I should collect more astral winds so that I would be able to use it excessively as I desire.”

At this moment, he was in the wilderness outside the city and not far away from him was the Camel Mountain. Although the nearest bandit legion was a hundred miles away from him and they wouldn’t be able to move around as they wish during the night, Jiang Yi had still decided to be extra careful. He didn’t dare to continue wasting his time anymore as he sped towards another place to absorb the astral winds.

In the nighttime, Jiang Yi had no idea how many astral winds he had absorbed, but he would not be able to finish using them at least for a month. He returned to the canyon and dug out a cave underground to rest.

The daytime was extremely safe without any incidents. The surroundings were also extremely quiet. The bandit legions did not wander around while Jiang Yi cultivated for a day inside the cave peacefully. He would wait till the night time before he continued to absorb the astral winds. Since he had nothing else to do, the more astral winds he absorbed, the less apprehensive he would feel during the attack.

Another night went by. Suddenly, Jiang Yi felt that spatial zone around the west had some fluctuation during dawn. He flew down immediately. Just when he was about to examine the area, a green pearl within his clothes lit up.

“Shadow Emperor’s subordinate?”

This pearl was very special as it was a unique treasure from the Endless Deep Sea, and it was basically impossible for others to possess it. Jiang Yi grew relieved as he stood at the peak of a mountain and waited calmly.

Swish!

Fifteen minutes later, a black shadow swept over from afar. It was a youth, he was covered in a black gown, and his strength was only in the Vajra Realm. When he saw Jiang Yi, he flew over hastily and knelt down with fear. “Greetings, my Lord.”

“En!”

When Jiang Yi saw that the youth was holding a pearl in his hand as well, he nodded his head. “What’s the matter?”

“The higher-ups got me to relay a message to you!” The youth replied respectfully, “The target will reach the Camel Mountain at around 1-3 AM!”

“1-3 AM?”

Jiang Yi eyes brightened up in radiance. Astral winds would be glittering in the night, and no one would dare to emerge from the Heaven Fate Ship. It would make it even easier for him to get near them. However… it was no longer easy for him to impersonate Wu Gang during the night. Wu Gang was not strong, and if a low-stage Heaven Monarch was to fly around during the night, would it reveal his hidden intention?

The Heaven Fate Ship Wu Gang rode would definitely be of top-grade. It shouldn’t fear the astral winds at all, and it would be very normal for him to continue his journey during the night. Jiang Yi clenched his teeth and decided that he would make his move on this Camel Mountain.

Daytime had its benefits, but so did the nighttime. At the very least… it would be even safer for him to flee during the night. Who would dare to continue chasing him if he had flown three kilometers into the high altitude?

“You can return. Get your people to stop contacting me. If I can make it out alive, I will contact them personally.”

Jiang Yi waved his hand. That person bowed before flying towards the Flood Martial City. Jiang Yi had also returned to the canyon as he released his Divine Perception to examine the eastern side with all his effort.

True enough—

Eight million miles away in the eastern region, five Heaven Fate Ships were making their way over rapidly by soaring through the sky. Four middle-grade Heaven Fate Ships formed into a triangular shape as they surrounded the Heaven Fate Ship in the middle. The four Heaven Fate Ships were dozens of miles apart from the enormous Heaven Fate Ship in the middle. If Jiang Yi wished to approach the Heaven Fate Ship in the middle, he would need to break through the defensive circle of the four Heaven Fate Ships.

The five Heaven Fate Ships didn’t use their quickest speed; and judging from their speed, they would indeed reach the Camel Mountain at around 1-3 AM.

Hoo-Hoo!

After Jiang Yi had finished examining the situation, he fell straight to the ground and slept. He dispelled all the distracting thoughts within his mind. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep immediately. An average person would definitely be nervous on the day before the great battle. They would be excited to the point of feeling unrest. Yet, Jiang Yi was able to fall asleep immediately.

He slept till the sky was filled with many stars. However, Jiang Yi had timed his timing accurately. Just as nightfall arrived, he woke up; and there were still four hours before the Heaven Fate Ships would reach Camel Mountain.

Hoo-Hoo!

He inhaled in two breaths of air deeply and released his Divine Perception to examine the situation. He took out dry rations and water to have a feast after confirming the four Heaven Fate Ships were still hundreds of miles away. Only after that did he exit out from the cave and darted towards the depths of Camel Mountain.

He didn’t fly as he hopped around the mountain peaks like a civet instead. He evaded seven or eight bandit legion strongholds cautiously. Ultimately, he concealed himself on a mountain peak.

There were five bandit legions in the vicinity of this mountain peak. He had also examined it very clearly, and this was a path which the large Heaven Fate Ship in the middle had to pass through!

Buzz!

He changed his appearance unhurriedly, and he wore low-grade battle armor. He held onto a piece of saint artifact and changed his aura into the fifth stage of the Vajra Realm. He was no longer going to impersonate Wu Gang. Rather, he disguised himself into a scout from a bandit legion.

He came up with a very daring plan. Three hours later, when the Heaven Fate Ship passed by here, his survival or death shall be revealed!
