Chapter 48: Fellow Cultivator, You’re Really Lucky-Less

The powerful demons from the Golden Slash Alliance, Wood Cutting Alliance, Fire Slaughter Alliance, and Earth Destruction Alliance all rushed toward the surface at that moment.
Inside the moving planet, a conical area of land, from the core to the surface, collapsed under the influence of these demons’ worldly power, turning into loose soil.
Over 700 of these powerful demons reached the surface and met again with the more than 200 demons from the Flood Alliance.
Naturally, the Soul Stone moved on its own and disappeared back inside the moving planet.
“Damn it! These demons from the four alliances actually came up here,” Ze Di said, annoyed as he watched the four groups of demons flying in the air.
Originally, these demons in the core had driven the Soul Stone to the surface. Ze Di was about to use his ultimate move to stabilize the land where the Soul Stone was located and seize it. But the leaders of the four alliances noticed the change in the Soul Stone and ordered their demons to rush to the surface to drive it away. Ze Di didn’t have time to use his ultimate move, allowing the Soul Stone to escape once again.
“Everyone, why aren’t you searching for the Soul Stone underground?” Ze Di asked with a smile.
Though he was angry inside, his expression remained gentle.
Shen Shi from the Golden Slash Alliance smiled and said, “Bai Hong, I know your plan now. You want us from the four alliances to drive the Soul Stone underground while you lead your people to grab it directly from the surface, right?”
Qiu Yu from the Wood Cutting Alliance, Zuo Zhao from the Fire Slaughter Alliance, and Wu Yang from the Earth Destruction Alliance also smiled as they looked at Ze Di.
Seeing his plan exposed by Shen Shi, Ze Di remained silent for a moment but still kept smiling.
“Since Shen Shi has put it that way, then the five of us will each send our powerful demons underground to search for the Soul Stone thoroughly,” Ze Di said with a laugh.
He had originally planned to have the demons from the four alliances drive the Soul Stone away, wasting their magical energy. Now that this plan didn’t work, Ze Di had no choice but to change his strategy.
The Soul Stone was moving inside the moving planet. As long as the demons covered the entire underground area, the Soul Stone wouldn’t be able to escape.
“Good, let’s rely on luck and see who finds the Soul Stone first,” Shen Shi said with a smile.
“That’s the best idea. If the demons from the five of us go to different places, even if the Soul Stone senses our locations, with all our demons in the underground area, it won’t be able to hide easily,” Qiu Yu from the Wood Cutting Alliance also smiled.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s order our powerful demons to spread evenly throughout the underground area,” Zuo Zhao from the Fire Slaughter Alliance urged urgently.

In an instant, the five leaders with the cultivation level of Upper Heavenly Soul Demons immediately gave orders for all their subordinate powerful demons to enter the underground and search thoroughly for the Soul Stone. Powerful demons were scattered throughout the depths of the moving planet.
※※※
The Dimension Sphere had now landed somewhere on the surface.
“Qu Yi, the assassination mission can begin,” said the Artifact God lazily from his soft chair.
The Artifact God had already discovered the distribution of those powerful demons inside the moving planet.
Hearing this, Qu Yi stopped scanning the “Origin Speed Dao” formation and said with a smile, “Then, Artifact God, you control the Dimension Sphere while I go and launch a surprise attack on those powerful demons.”
The target was those with the cultivation level of Heavenly Soul Demons.
“Okay,” replied the Artifact God lazily.
Immediately afterward, the Dimension Sphere penetrated underground, forcing its way through the ground and swiftly moving beneath it.
A powerful demon with the cultivation level of one-star Heavenly Soul Demon, from the Golden Slash Alliance, was waiting quietly at a depth of 10,000 meters underground for the Soul Stone to arrive.
Since no trace of the Soul Stone’s presence could be detected yet, it meant the stone was still far away from this demon.
The Dimension Sphere silently approached this demon.
“Hm!” The demon frowned, seemingly sensing a hint of danger.
But he could never have imagined that right beside him was a spatial treasure containing someone who intended to assassinate him.
When his demonic sense scanned the surroundings and found nothing unusual, he relaxed.
Suddenly, Qu Yi appeared, holding the top-grade Fire-element immortal sword, Haotian Sword, in his hand.
Haotian Sword had once been the life immortal sword of Emperor Hao, who possessed the cultivation level of Upper Earth Soul Immortal—meaning it was at the same level as an immortal sword for such a being.
“Fellow cultivator, you’re really unlucky,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he appeared.
He raised Haotian Sword with his right hand, converting all the chaotic energy in his body into Fire-element immortal essence.
“You…!” The demon cried in panic.
Before he could finish speaking, Haotian Sword descended with a fierce strike. A massive force of the world’s power erased the land of the nearby planet and struck straight at the demon’s head.
This force of the world’s power was comparable to that of a three-star Heavenly Soul Demon.
In other words, although Qu Yi now had the cultivation level of a mid-tier Earth Soul Immortal and used Haotian Sword to deliver its strongest strike, his power was still only on par with that of a three-star Heavenly Soul Immortal.
The Fire-element force of the world formed a brilliant red giant sword that struck the demon’s head, giving him no time to react before burning him to ashes—leaving not even a trace of flesh behind.

Qu Yi smiled slightly, then picked up the golden long sword that had fallen to the ground and stored away the space ring of the powerful warrior, immediately returning to the Tiny World Sphere.
“Haha, God of Tools. Although this golden long sword is only at the level of a two-star Heavenly Soul Demon, it’s good enough for a Golden Lord to use.”
Lying on a soft chair, God of Tools narrowed his eyes at the red long sword and said with a smile, “It’s fine. Let’s call this sword the Golden Shadow Sword.”
Qu Yi shrugged and laughed, “Since God of Tools has given it a name personally, how could I dare not follow?”
God of Tools rolled his eyes.
Qu Yi chuckled.
The Tiny World Sphere continued to move inside the floating planet under God of Tools’ control.
It wasn’t long before the sphere arrived near another powerful warrior at the level of a two-star Heavenly Soul Demon.
This warrior was dressed only in a short jacket, his exposed arms covered in bulging muscles, looking extremely formidable. He held a green great axe, its blade shimmering with green light, exuding a sharp aura.
Clearly, this warrior was not only constantly monitoring the aura of the Soul Stone but also on guard against possible attacks from other Heavenly Demon warriors.
The Tiny World Sphere landed on the green great axe.
Qu Yi suddenly appeared, wielding the Vast Heaven Sword, with his Fire Elemental Energy surging intensely as it poured into the sword.
“Fellow cultivator, you’re really unlucky,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
“Where did you come from?” The warrior immediately raised the green great axe in front of him, asking in confusion.
The Vast Heaven Sword descended headfirst, unleashing a massive force of world energy, which transformed into a red great sword that destroyed the surrounding rocks and land before continuing to strike at the warrior.
“Green Axe Forms a Barrier!”
The warrior shouted angrily as he swung the green great axe in front of him. A Wood Elemental force descended, forming a green light wall to protect his body.
The red great sword struck the green light wall, and the Fire Elemental force collided with the Wood Elemental force, instantly generating destructive energy. However, the Fire Elemental force of the red great sword was clearly much stronger than the Wood Elemental force. It not only destroyed the green light wall but also continued to strike the warrior’s body.
After swinging his sword, Qu Yi remained smiling.
But at that moment, his expression froze.
When the red great sword struck the warrior’s body, it didn’t kill him outright but only tore through one of his defensive armor pieces on the surface.

This powerful warrior actually hid a defensive armor suit within his body. When he realized his own World Power was insufficient to withstand the attack, he immediately brought the armor suit to the surface of his body, blocking the red great sword and preventing his body from being injured.
“You have a defensive armor suit… I really didn’t expect that,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
The powerful warrior, filled with anger, shouted angrily, “Who are you? Why did you come after me? Our Mu Fa Alliance has over two hundred Heavenly Demons—don’t be reckless.”
Undoubtedly, this powerful warrior had sensed that the attack Qu Yi had just launched possessed the strength of a three-star Heavenly Soul Demon; he was no match for it. Thus, though angry, he dared not attack first and instead tried to use the power of the Mu Fa Alliance to scare Qu Yi away.
Qu Yi chuckled, raised his Hao Tian Sword once again, and said, “Since your defensive armor suit is already damaged, I doubt you can withstand my attacks anymore.”
The powerful warrior’s eyes narrowed as he shouted angrily, “Don’t go too far! You can’t handle my self-destruct attack!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qu Yi rushed forward and stabbed at the warrior.
Qu Yi actually wanted to kill the warrior outright.
“Bastard! You, a Earth Soul Demon, actually try to use a demonic weapon to destroy my body? You’re utterly foolish!” the powerful warrior shouted coldly.
Immediately, he swung his green great axe, moved strangely, and appeared behind Qu Yi, swinging the axe at Qu Yi’s back.
Whoosh!
Qu Yi disappeared.
While the powerful warrior was stunned and confused, Qu Yi reappeared, swinging his Hao Tian Sword downward again. His Fire World Power formed a red giant sword that struck the warrior’s head.
“Disgraceful!”
The powerful warrior managed to react again, raised his green great axe, and quickly swung it above his head, creating a green light wall right above him.
In an instant, he dodged.
The red giant sword cut through the green light wall but struck nothing as it continued downward.
“Kid, you’re only at the level of an Earth Soul Demon, yet you dare attempt to assassinate me, a two-star Heavenly Soul Demon? How delusional,” the powerful warrior said coldly.
Qu Yi shook his head, his expression also grim.
Attacking suddenly and using the Hao Tian Sword to launch an attack at the level of a three-star Heavenly Soul Demon yet still failing to kill this two-star Heavenly Soul Demon was truly frustrating.
However, Qu Yi quickly calmed down.
“I am indeed at the level of an Earth Soul Demon, but you’ll still die today,” Qu Yi said with a smile.

Suddenly, the life core of the Soul-Connecting Flower flew out from above Qu Yi’s head. Golden light shone.
