A World Worth Protecting

Around 3700 battleships!

More than 5600 cultivators and 13 sets of Soul Conduit array formations!

There’s even three perfected stage Soul Conduits and a False Immortal!

And the large amount of resources in this sect’s storeroom. They even have property on the Earth Cloud Sect’s main star and are considered a really high ranked lesser sect…

After the battle, when Wang Baole started taking stock of his loot from the battle, even he was shocked by the amount of resources he gained. This made him suddenly feel a tinge of regret. He shouldn’t have attacked so incisively. Instead, he should have acted like he was weak and made his victory seem Pyrrhic. That way, the Green Kraken Legion might have continued sending lesser sect armies to challenge him.

But now… Wang Baole assumed that the Green Kraken Legion would temporarily stop their attacks. After all, the Patriarch’s words were an expression of attitude to a certain degree. It was also unfavorable for the Green Kraken Legion to continue going after Wang Baole’s right to his army in this situation.

This was actually true. In this defeat, although the Green Kraken Legion seemed to have underestimated their opponent, thinking thoroughly, that wasn’t truly the case. After all, not only did they give a treasure that had the ability to seal spirit-killing power, they even assigned three perfected stage Soul Conduits and over ten Soul Conduit array formations to make the Earth Cloud Legion, which was already pretty spectacular, even more powerful.

At the same time, they even assigned two False Immortals just in case. Their original plan was for them to suppress all accidents while also disrupting the Ice Phoenix Legion and cutting off any possibility of reinforcements.

One could say that these preparations would make it hard for even a greater sect army ranked in the top twenty to resist them, let alone a newly-formed army. After all, although general strength was absolutely necessary, a really strong combat strength could often have a huge effect as well.

But in the end… it was the Green Kraken Legion who lost this battle. At the same time, as news of the battle spread, Long Nanzi’s name became the center of attention of the entire Divine Sovereign Justice Sect again.

It also made many people understand that, if they wanted to go against the Soul Rift Legion, unless they could truly suppress the Divine Justice Shield, they would only have a chance of victory if a Spirit Immortal got involved!

Such difficulty made it such that the Green Kraken Legion could only choose to stop attacking him temporarily.

After all, the losses in the battle didn’t mean much to the Green Kraken Legion. The only thing was… the False Immortal captured alive by Wang Baole.

According to the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s rules, those who were sent by other sects to assist in battle weren’t completely considered spoils of war. So to a certain extent, they could get him back.

So when the Green Kraken Legion gave conditions that Wang Baole felt were decent, Wang Baole thought for a while and agreed to give back the False Immortal with no hesitation. At the same time, he contacted the Holy Crest Sect and let them spread the news that he wanted to sell the Earth Cloud Sect.

To the lesser sects, this was extremely tempting. Even for some greater sects, it was a huge temptation. That was especially so considering that Fairy Ling You made use of her contacts as well. In the end, Wang Baole sold off the entire Earth Cloud Sect in exchange for a nearly infinite amount of resources!

To any lesser sect, that amount of resources would make them very jealous. Even greater sect armies, except for those at the very top of the rankings, would be tempted by that amount of resources.

With those resources, Wang Baole could build up his army more quickly and more comprehensively. His plan to modify the Soul Rift Planet was also carried out successfully.

After obtaining those resources, Wang Baole bought quite a few army array formations. After setting them up, it became very difficult for outsiders to enter.

At the same time, Wang Baole bought many large-scale Dharmic Artifacts and lined them up on the ground. The most important thing was that, after obtaining sufficient resources, Wang Baole could produce more puppets and thus increase the number of battleships he had.

Besides… the depth of his pockets also enabled Wang Baole to make use of the Disassembly Parasitism technique he obtained from Little Wu on his battleships to a certain degree. That was going to be the ace in the hole of his battleships, as well as his secret weapon.

Just like that, time passed, and Wang Baole completely used up all of his spoils from the battle. Two months had passed, and in these two months, nothing major happened within the Divine Eye civilization. The three greater sects still continued fighting among themselves, and the royalty still occasionally made some noise to declare their existence.

As for the battles between the lesser sects, they continued as well. And pillaging expeditions carried on as per normal. The only difference was that… the search team on the main star tasked to find the one who stole the greater sects’ resources had to give up their lockdown after having no findings and after the many protests by the royalty.

When Wang Baole learned of that from the Holy Crest Sect, he didn’t worry about it too much. Instead, he continued concentrating and applying the Disassembly Parasitism technique to his battleships one by one. When all of his battleships had the technique applied to them, and when their internal cores were all created using the method, the almost infinite amount of resources he originally had was depleted.

How expensive…

Looking at the Soul Rift Planet, which had undergone a huge makeover, he sighed with emotion. Once again, he regretted being too stubborn at first. He shouldn’t have been so decisive. Instead, he should have reeled them in patiently.

I can’t keep carrying on like this… How am I going to develop my army if no lesser sects come to challenge me? Wang Baole furrowed his brows as he pondered for a long time. In the end, he still didn’t know how to get lesser sect armies to challenge him, having to grit his teeth in the end.

So be it. Since no lesser sect is coming to challenge me, I’ll go challenge other greater sect armies. Although the loot I’ll gain is a lot less, it’s still better than having no loot at all! Thinking to this point, Wang Baole checked the condition of his army and started researching on the armies ranked above his.

That was because every challenge application depleted a lot of resources. So Wang Baole needed to predict the amount of loot he would receive. After also seeking the advice of Fairy Ling You, he finally decided on a target!

The nineteenth army! A glimmer flashed between Wang Baole’s eyes. The nineteenth army was named the Golden Pool Legion. Although its commander was only a perfected stage Soul Conduit, it had up to 17 mighty Soul Conduit figures!

And that army’s edge lay in the incisiveness of their battleships. They were extremely strong both in defense and combat strength. The most important thing was… the nineteenth army could be considered a branch of the top-ranked Green Kraken Legion and had countless ties to them.

So once Wang Baole challenged them, based on the strength of his Divine Justice Shield, he was very sure that Yi Nianzi would descend upon the battlefield.

Although Wang Baole wanted to see whether his Divine Justice Shield could reflect 50% of a Spirit Immortal’s attack power as he predicted, it would be best not to reveal that unless absolutely necessary.

Unless… I don’t use my Divine Justice Shield at all. Even better, if I don’t even show up, challenging them with just my battleships alone, the Green Kraken Legion will have no reason to get involved! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and made a decision after pondering for a long time. He knew that the main point of the battle should be his Disassembly Parasitism technique.

Once I use that technique, it will definitely attract attention. But that’s simple. At most, I’ll give some out. So long as I keep the core, everything will be just fine. And I can even trade for some resources in the meantime…

Let’s leave it at that and see how my battleships match up against those of the Divine Eye civilization! Thinking to this point, Wang Baole stopped hesitating and immediately applied to challenge!

Because they were both greater sect armies, their applications would normally be approved so long as they met the requirements. Wang Baole met all of the requirements. So the day after he applied to challenge, it got approved!

“The Soul Rift Legion has applied to challenge the Golden Pool Legion. The battle will commence in six hours!”

After receiving the notice, Wang Baole perked up and bolted out, waving his hand. A loud rumble sounded from the land behind him as black battleships flew up from underground. They were densely packed, with numbers reaching up to 10,000. They formed a huge army that headed straight towards the cosmos.

Outside the cosmos, Wang Baole was analyzing battle tactics in his mind as he silently waited for the battle to start. He had already asked Fairy Ling You and knew that as the challenger, a teleportation rift would be formed outside his army when the challenge began. By stepping into the rift… he could reach the opponent’s army base!

So what he needed to do now, was wait!

Meanwhile, the nineteenth army had also received the notice telling them that they had been attacked. They didn’t underestimate the Soul Rift Legion at all and immediately asked for instructions from the Green Kraken Legion. In the end, the Green Kraken Legion assigned Yi Nianzi to descend upon the battlefield!

“I need a reason to get involved. So, your task now… is to create such a reason for me in the upcoming battle!” Yi Nianzi, who came to the Golden Pool Legion, spoke coldly.
