Spirit Vein Thief
The Green Mastiff Demon Kingdom a vast territory, and it boasts the largest number of Demon Race species among the seven major Demon Kingdoms.
The sun hangs high in the sky, its golden rays scattering across the rippling lake. A magnificent, rugged city, as imposing as a mountain, stands on the lakeshore.
This is the territory of the White-Horned Lion Clan, whose strongest member is the White-Horned Lion King, who is at the Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation realm.
In addition, according to intelligence, there are two other members of the White-Horned Lion Clan who are at the Spirit Transformation Early Stage.
With the strength of the Shanhai, even if they are surrounded, they can easily turn the tables and kill the enemy. Moreover, since the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, it would be a waste not to launch a sneak attack.
With Void Worms and Formless Insect present, bypassing the enemy's defensive barrier and appearing in the city undetected is a piece of cake.
After all, to be on the safe side, Shanhai chose an opponent that was only equivalent to the Iron Lion Ridge of the past.
The Primordial Power is running low and cannot be used casually, but using the Soul Mirror to read memories will not have any impact.
After reviewing the memories of more than a dozen Demon Race and confirming that he had a sufficient understanding of the city before him, Shanhai decided to sneak in.
After a cup of tea, in the center of the city, Shanhai, disguised as a leopard-like Demon Beast, trembled slightly, using Zhiming's ability to Listening to the Sounds of Heaven and Earth.
An invisible wave spread out, Detection the exact location of the Fifth Tier Spirit Vein.
A moment later, Shanhai's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Found it!"
Once the Spirit Vein is found, infiltrating it is not difficult.
He went to a corner, where the Void Worm was perched on his shoulder, its two antennae glowing faintly, and a Spatial Fluctuations enveloped the Shanhai.
The Formless Insect also made its move at the same time, Concealment the fluctuation.
The two spirit insects worked together seamlessly, and after a short while, the Shanhai disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already located in the Spirit Vein beneath the city.
The body was enveloped in rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; this was a mid- Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Vein.
"Receive!"
With a low shout, Shanhai Flame Yang God-Refining Furnace flying from his palm. The Flame Yang Divine Fire poured down, burning away all the various methods the White-Horned Lion Clan had set up on the Spirit Vein.
After doing all this, the furnace roared down, shattering the Spirit Vein in front of it. Only Spirit Vein Essence were extracted, transforming into a colorful stream of light, which was then collected by Shanhai.
His movements appeared slow, but in reality, it only took him five breaths to complete the entire task.
The moment the Spirit Vein was destroyed, the city above began to tremble violently, and a deafening lion's Yunxiao through the sky, tearing the drifting white clouds into shreds.
Immediately, an overwhelming wave of Divine Sense swept across the area, but found absolutely nothing.
It was as if the Spirit Veins of the White-Horned Lion Clan had suddenly become sentient and its long legs had run away.
"You little thief, don't let me catch you..."
On this day, the furious roar of a lion echoed endlessly over the city.
Meanwhile, led by the Void Worm, Shanhai left the territory of the White-Horned Lion Clan and rushed to the next Demon Race territory.
Because of Yang Tianyou's instructions, Shanhai acted very cautiously, avoiding excessive killing and only damaging Spirit Veins to extract their Spirit Vein Essence.
Smoke and leave, no lingering!
In just two hours, the Green Mastiff Demon Kingdom lost four mid- Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Veins and two Fifth-Tier Lower-Grade Spirit Veins.
The reason they were able to achieve such remarkable results in such a short time is simply because of the Void Worm's Spatial Exchange ability.
Like a spider weaving a web, it places the Void Insect Molt at each key node.
Once the operation begins, it will be as swift as a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, giving the Demon Race no time to react at all.
After plundering all the Demon Race forces that had scouted the area beforehand, Shanhai immediately left the Green Mastiff Demon Kingdom without any hesitation or delay, acting with exceptional decisiveness.
After that, he didn't make a move in the neighboring Heaven-Swallowing Demon Kingdom, but instead skipped over there.
They ran to the easternmost part of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, within the territory of the Heavy Mountain Demon Kingdom.
Just like before, scout the location, then start grabbing!
With seven more Fifth Tier Spirit Veins in hand, before the Heavy Mountain Demon Kingdom could even react, Shanhai had already arrived in the Explosive Flame Demon Kingdom.
Thus, through this series of erratic acts, spanning four separate incidents, Shanhai obtained a total of seventeen groups of Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Vein Essences and nine groups of Fifth-Tier Lower-Grade Spirit Vein essences, all of which were complete.
As for other levels of Spirit Vein Essence, there wasn't a single clump.
Those below Fourth Tier are not worth attacking.
Those of the Fifth-Tier Upper Grade or higher have too high a defensive strength, making it easy to stumble.
Therefore, Shanhai specifically targeted those of the lower to middle rank of the Fifth Tier, and sure enough, he succeeded in snatching them one by one.
However, at this point, it's no longer safe to stay on the Ten Thousand Demon Continent.
The high-ranking Demon Race of the seven great Demon Kingdoms already know that a Spirit Vein thief is frantically destroying Spirit Veins and extracting their Spirit Vein Essence, causing considerable damage.
Major powers will definitely strengthen the protection of their own Spirit Veins, making it much more difficult to succeed by surprise than before.
However, by pulling off this heist on the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, they directly gathered half of the Spirit Vein Essence needed for their Lineage to advance to the Sixth Tier Spirit Veins.
The essence of the seventh or Fifth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Veins can be used to upgrade the Purple Moon Mountain Spirit Vein to the Sixth Tier.
A complete set of Fifth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein essence contains roughly the same amount of heaven and earth essence as three sets of Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Vein Essence, but the quality is about 50% higher.
Therefore, if one wants to replace it, approximately 4.5 bundles of Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Vein Essence can be equivalent to one bundle of Fifth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein essence.
Similarly, the difference between medium and low grade is roughly the same.
This operation by Shanhai yielded seventeen groups of Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Spirit Vein Essences and nine groups of Fifth-Tier Lower-Grade Spirit Vein essences.
If all of them are converted to mid-grade, then there are Nineteen groups of mid-grade items.
If we convert that to superior grade, it would be four high-grade balls and one medium-grade ball.
In other words, if such plundering were to be carried out once more, it would be enough to satisfy the advancement of the Purple Moon Mountain Spirit Vein.
At this moment, Yang Tianyou in Purple Moon Mountain was also shocked by the harvest from the Shanhai.
He hadn't expected that the operation to plunder resources in the Nine Phoenix Realm would proceed so smoothly.
The presence of Void Worms and Formless Insect is only one reason.
The arrogance of the Nine Phoenix Realm's forces also played a significant role.
Yes, it's arrogance.
The absolute dominance in strength made many forces in the Nine Phoenix Realm feel that they could rest easy and neglected their defenses of their stronghold, which led to Shanhai's easy capture.
"However, having gone this far, the major powers of the Nine Phoenix Realm have realized they can stop while they're ahead. They can come out and grab another wave of profits once this storm has passed," Yang Tianyou calculated in his mind.
"I can take this opportunity to visit Sixth Brother and Thirteenth Granduncle. Although their pillars of Fortune are bright, I'll still feel uneasy if I don't see them in person..."
In the Nine Phoenix Realm, Shanhai, who was meditating in an underground cave, slowly opened his eyes. As Spatial Fluctuations appeared, his figure slowly disappeared.
