Wu Shattered Star River

“Damn…”

Jiang Han flew over, approaching the cocoon with a look of astonishment.

Cocoons are made of silk spun by silkworms. Doesn't this stuff melt when it encounters fire?

He observed it for a moment, then reached out and grabbed it. The moment he held it in his hand, he felt a sudden shock.

Because at that moment, something moved inside the cocoon. He could actually sense the aura of a living being within it.

“Fuck!”

Jiang Han's eyes widened. This cocoon had just been under the Heart of Heavenly Fire. How could there be a living being under such high temperatures?

What exactly was the bug inside this cocoon? How could it withstand such terrifying heat?

He extended his soul sense, wanting to investigate the creature inside the cocoon, but the cocoon actually blocked his probe. His powerful soul sense couldn't penetrate it.

“What is this thing?”

Jiang Han looked at it from all angles, tempted to throw it away. Being able to survive under the Heart of Heavenly Fire meant this thing was terrifyingly strong. If a terrifying little bug emerged from the cocoon, he might be killed.

“It shouldn't be that bad…”

Jiang Han hesitated. The cocoon was only the size of half a fist. Even if a powerful creature emerged from it, how powerful could it be?

Just a larva, it shouldn't be able to threaten his safety, right?

He thought for a moment, then flashed into the Other Shore space, subsequently tossing the cocoon near the Heart of Heavenly Fire in the corner.

As expected!

The cocoon, when tossed near the Heart of Heavenly Fire, wasn't incinerated. It lay quietly nearby. The aura of the living being inside disappeared. Without careful observation, it looked like a small stone.

“Forget it!”

Jiang Han observed it again for a while. The cocoon didn't show any signs of activity. He flashed out again, going to collect the remaining Hearts of Heavenly Fire.

After spending half an hour inside, Jiang Han collected a total of forty-eight Hearts of Heavenly Fire.

He circled around inside, confirming that there were no more Hearts of Heavenly Fire left. A smile spread across his face.

The Heart of Profound Water and the Heart of Divine Lightning had already been refined. Now, the Heart of Heavenly Fire was also in hand. Moreover, he could gradually approach the Heart of Heavenly Fire by continuously increasing his body's heat resistance, and eventually absorbing and refining it wouldn't be a problem.

Of the four great Heavenly Treasures, only the Heart of Astral Wind remained. Once he got his hands on the Heart of Astral Wind, he'd have them all.

“Is it about time to leave?”

Jiang Han pondered for a moment. Several days had passed. The pursuers were probably getting close, right?

Now that there were no Hearts of Heavenly Fire here, even a Saint Ruler could easily enter the bottom. Staying here wasn't particularly safe.

His body rose into the air, and using the Free and Unfettered Travel, he appeared above the volcano. He looked down at the small city below, sensed it for a moment, and discovered that there were still only a few Emperor-level cultivators in the city, no Heavenly Emperors, and a few thousand soldiers.

Unfortunately, the city's protective formation was activated!

“Hmm…”

Jiang Han's mind stirred. His body suddenly changed, transforming into the appearance of the Fourth Elder of the Cold Moon Sect. He revealed himself and flew directly downwards.

As he approached the city, the soldiers below noticed him, and several Emperor-level cultivators rose into the air, activating the city's protective formation.

“Greetings, Fourth Elder!”

The Emperor-level cultivators bowed respectfully before him, but Jiang Han summoned a battle blade and slashed out.

All the Emperor-level cultivators were sent flying. Two Emperor-level cultivators were instantly killed, and two others were severely injured, spitting blood as they flew backwards.

“咻!”

Jiang Han released several more blade beams, turning the two Emperor-level cultivators into dust, their souls scattered.

“哗!”

The city erupted in chaos. The thousands of soldiers were dumbfounded, not knowing why the Fourth Elder would kill these Emperor-level cultivators.

“咻咻咻!”

Jiang Han continuously released blade beams, bombarding the city below. The soldiers were instantly slaughtered in droves.

These soldiers didn't even dare to flee, watching helplessly as the blade beams howled down.

Jiang Han only released a few dozen blade beams, killing most of the soldiers below, leaving only a hundred or so severely injured.

It wasn't that Jiang Han couldn't kill them, but that he didn't want to, deliberately leaving them alive to spread the news back.

“咻!”

Without saying a word, he transformed into a streak of light and flew away. After flying tens of thousands of feet away, he used Star Flash to teleport away.

He was preparing to go to a large resource treasure land nearby. The last time this resource treasure land had activated its mountain protection formation, and he couldn't break it open, so he didn't attack.

Attacking the city under Heavenly Volcano gave him inspiration. He wanted to try and see if he could trick this resource treasure land into opening its mountain protection formation?

He quickly arrived at the resource treasure land. He was still transformed into the appearance of the Fourth Elder, and his expression was gloomy, looking very angry.

He flew quickly towards the resource treasure land, secretly praying in his heart that there wouldn't be a Saint Ruler stationed here!

“咻咻咻!”

There were scouts outside the resource treasure land. When they saw the “Fourth Elder,” they quickly flew over and bowed respectfully in mid-air, “Greetings, Fourth Elder!”

Jiang Han glanced at them, ignored them, and flew straight towards the mountain ahead.

The entire mountain was covered by a blue light罩. This was a mine, containing a very precious ore.

When Jiang Han flew over, the soldiers and experts inside were alarmed. Three Heavenly Emperors flew up, looking at Jiang Han with some suspicion.

“Humph!”

Jiang Han arrived outside the mountain protection formation, didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, and coldly swept his gaze over the three Heavenly Emperors.

The three Heavenly Emperors exchanged glances, feeling uneasy in their hearts.

Because the Great Elder's order to them was that they must not activate the mountain protection formation at any time, unless they had his order.

Moreover, why didn't the Fourth Elder teleport over from the Cold Moon Sect? Why did he fly over directly?

Also… didn't the Fourth Elder go south to hunt down Jiang Han? Why did he come here?

Seeing that the three Heavenly Emperors didn't open the mountain protection formation, Jiang Han was furious. Killing intent rolled out from his body, and he imitated the Fourth Elder's voice, shouting, “You three, get out here for this seat!”

The three Heavenly Emperors' hearts thumped, and feeling the killing intent on Jiang Han's body, they didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

One Heavenly Emperor transmitted a message, and the Emperor-level cultivator controlling the formation below opened the mountain protection formation.

“Eh? It really opened?”

A look of joy appeared on Jiang Han's face. The three Heavenly Emperors flew towards Jiang Han, and seeing his joy, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

“咻!”

The 琞虚 Blade appeared in Jiang Han's hand, and he slashed fiercely at the three Heavenly Emperors. At the same time, he secretly launched five Invisible Finger Strikes, attacking the three Heavenly Emperors separately.

“Ah!”

They were too close. The three Heavenly Emperors noticed it, but couldn't avoid it.

However, one Heavenly Emperor had a treasure in his body, and actually withstood the chill and some of the lightning. He shivered and shouted, “He's not the Fourth Elder, he's… Dongfang Han, run!”

“轰轰轰!”

Jiang Han had already begun attacking one Heavenly Emperor. The 琞虚 Blade crashed down on the Heavenly Emperor's head like a raging wave, and this Heavenly Emperor was quickly killed.

The other two Heavenly Emperors fled quickly, with the Heavenly Emperor who had the treasure fleeing the fastest.

Jiang Han didn't chase after that Heavenly Emperor, but instead began attacking the second Heavenly Emperor.

“Run!”

The tens of thousands of soldiers below immediately scattered in all directions like startled birds and beasts.

Jiang Han had slaughtered so many Cold Moon Sect disciples during this time that in their hearts, Jiang Han was no different from a demon. When encountering such a demon, not fleeing meant only waiting for death.

“The crystals in this mine's warehouse haven't been transferred away? It feels like I'm going to get rich!”

Jiang Han slaughtered while sensing the surrounding situation.

He swept over the large barracks below and happened to discover that the door to one barrack was actually open, and it was filled with colorful crystals.

He was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that he could pay off Liu Fangfei's ten billion soon…
