The Golden Watchtower Great World.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The once-thriving, heavily guarded mining world had been reduced to ruins.
Across the land, enormous mining pits gaped like hideous scars, their depths impossible to fathom.
Every treasury had already been stripped bare.
Gantian hovered in midair, sweeping his divine thought across the entire world to make sure nothing had been overlooked.
The cultivators under his command were rapidly assembling around him.
"My lord!" A commander at late Hunyuan Wuji approached Gantian and excitedly presented a storage ring.
"All the ore already extracted from the mining districts is here."
"Among it, we found a large quantity of void divine iron in Mining District Seven!"
Gantian took the ring and extended his divine thought into it.
When he saw the mountains of special divine iron gleaming with a dark silver luster, even his heart stirred.
Done.
One of the tasks Senior entrusted to me is complete.
But...
Gantian knew full well that this was no time to celebrate.
They had practically pulled a tooth from the jaws of a sleeping tiger.
Now, that tiger could wake at any moment.
The Divine Asura Domain's response would be swift and savage beyond imagination.
"Time's up." Gantian looked down at the last group of cultivators arriving to join them, his voice utterly level.
"Withdraw!"
The order rang out.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gantian took out the teleportation token Zhou Ming had bestowed on him.
Hum—
Ripples spread through space.
Under Gantian's leadership, everyone vanished silently from the Golden Watchtower Great World.
Barely an incense stick's worth of time after Gantian and his men left.
A rift was abruptly torn open in the Chaos Void outside the Golden Watchtower Great World.
The black Falsehood-Breaking Divine Shuttle emerged from within.
