Cleaning Up

Li Zhen was too lazy to call out Zhang Tao's posturing. In reality, Zhang Tao truly knew; he was a transmigrator, after all, so how could he not know about the Land of King Battles? He actually knew even more than the Heaven Suppressing King.

The two emerged from the burrow and flew toward the hideout of Su Changqing and the others. They didn't encounter any of Zhu Wusheng's men on the way. After tapping on the turf covering the burrow, Su Changqing and his group quickly climbed out.

"Brother Su, we are heading to the Rank 6 Domain now to stall for a few days!" Zhang Tao said.

Su Changqing didn't understand the reason, but since Zhang Tao had said so, they could only follow. After all, without Zhang Tao, the few of them wouldn't even be enough to whet Zhu Wusheng's appetite.

Sensing the Chaos Origin, Zhang Tao and the others soon found a place where the boundary was weak.

Glancing at the boundary before him, Zhang Tao didn't hesitate to strike with his blade. Instantly, a gap appeared on the boundary wall. Zhang Tao took a look, saw that no one was there, and said, "Hurry and get in!"

Li Zhen squeezed through first, followed by Su Changqing and the others. Once they were all inside, Zhang Tao quickly squeezed through as well. After Zhang Tao left, the boundary wall immediately recovered, as if it had never been breached.

"By the way, Brother Su, how many places like this are there where the boundary is weak?" Zhang Tao suddenly asked.

Su Changqing blinked and said, "There shouldn't be many; just this area, I think."

Zhang Tao nodded and said, "Brother Su, you and the others stay here. If any Rank 6 Catacombs people come by, just kill them. If any Rank 7s come crossing the domain, kill them too. It's not that easy for them to tear through the boundary."

Finally, Zhang Tao added, "If you can't beat them, run. Understand?"

Su Changqing nodded. He glanced at Li Zhen and, seeing that Li Zhen had no objections, gave a wink to his brothers. They might as well cultivate here!

Zhang Tao then took Li Zhen and began to sense the location of the exit. Once he found it, Zhang Tao laughed, "Li Laoer, you guard the gate here. I don't need to say more, right?"

Li Zhen nodded. This guy Zhang Tao had a truly dark heart; he was planning to wipe everyone out inside the Rank 6 Domain.

However, Li Zhen didn't think much of it. As long as no one was let out, who would know?

"Rank 6 Domain, haha, here I come!" Zhang Tao let out a loud laugh and charged out. This time, he was going to start a massacre.

At this moment, the Rank 6 Domain was relatively peaceful. After all, not many people from humanity had come this time, and Zhenxing City hadn't sent any Rank 6s either, so the Catacombs people couldn't be bothered to start fights. Everyone was busy searching for opportunities. Of course, if they happened to run into an opportunity, then fighting was only natural.

Zhang Tao released his mental power and began to search for Catacombs people, using himself as the origin point.

Upon spotting them, Zhang Tao didn't say a word before striking with his blade. As long as they were from the Catacombs, Zhang Tao wouldn't let them go, whether they were from the Monster Plant Lineage, the Monster Life Lineage, or the Imperial Dynasty. If he ran into them, it was a blade strike.

With mental suppression combined with the God-Slaying Blade, even Rank 7s would be blinded, let alone Rank 6s.

After a few hours, to be honest, Zhang Tao didn't even know how many people he had killed. Among them were several who were likely True King Descendants; they were killed by Zhang Tao's lightning-fast sneak attacks, and before they died, they didn't even know who had killed them.

Zhang Tao also looted the fattest corpses and harvested three Space Rings. Inside, there were even two Mental Power Avatars, quite a bit of Life Essence, and plenty of Energy Liquid. Zhang Tao transferred all these items directly into his own Space Ring, and as for the three Space Rings themselves, he just shoved them into his pockets.

The Rank 6 Domain was not small. In a few hours, Zhang Tao hadn't actually covered much ground. During this time, the terrain had shifted, but Zhang Tao didn't follow the terrain; he walked in a straight line, and whoever he ran into was just unlucky.

At the entrance of the Rank 6 Domain, Li Zhen had already killed over a dozen Rank 6 Catacombs people. These people wanted to leave, but how could Li Zhen let them run? It was just that these people weren't wealthy; the richest ones only had some Energy Liquid on them, which left Li Zhen somewhat dissatisfied.

After cleaning up the corpses, Li Zhen would duck into a nearby burrow. Whenever anyone approached, he would first use mental suppression and then kill them with a sword. If the Rank 6s of the Catacombs knew this, they would definitely curse him—it was too shameless for a Rank 7 expert to be pulling sneak attacks.

Two days later, Zhang Tao even discovered a few places with opportunities, but they were all just sources of ownerless mental power. Zhang Tao didn't lack this, so he collected the corpses of these predecessors to use for the younger generation like Nan Yunyue later on; it was quite cost-effective.

As for the people in the Rank 6 Domain, Zhang Tao rarely ran into them now. He didn't know if he had killed them all, but he had walked for a long time without encountering a single Rank 6 from the Catacombs.

Over these two days, Zhang Tao's skull had been tempered very quickly. Zhang Tao estimated that in a few more days, he would be able to finish tempering it completely and enter the Rank Eight Golden Body Realm.

Arriving at the entrance, he found it peaceful, but Zhang Tao could smell the blood here. He laughed, "Li Laoer, come out!"

Li Zhen crawled out from a nearby burrow and said, "What is it?"

Zhang Tao tossed him a storage ring and said, "For you. Let's go find Brother Su and the others. I estimate there aren't many people left in this Rank 6 Domain. Even if there are survivors, they're probably hiding in ruins to cultivate."

Li Zhen took the ring with a look of delight. He had been craving a Space Ring for a long time but was too embarrassed to ask his family for one. He fiddled with it, put it on his finger, and said, "You brat, you're really lucky. I've been guarding here for two days, and all who came were poor wretches!"

Zhang Tao smiled; he could only say that Li Zhen was unlucky.

The two sensed the weak point in the boundary and flew toward it. Sure enough, they didn't see anyone on the way. When they arrived at the boundary, Su Changqing and the others were all sitting cross-legged. In the distance, there were a few corpses; it seemed their harvest hadn't been great either.

After the two approached, they opened their eyes. Zhang Tao looked around and said, "We'll cultivate here for a few days. This is the skeleton of a predecessor I found; it contains quite a bit of ownerless mental power. You all should try it!"

As Zhang Tao spoke, he had already taken out the skeleton and stimulated it slightly. Instantly, a wave of mental power permeated the area. Su Changqing and the others didn't even have time to thank him before they hurriedly began to absorb it.

One had to know that their main focus of cultivation right now was mental power; they hadn't reached the stage of tempering their skulls yet.

Li Zhen didn't absorb it; he didn't lack mental power, and he was currently tempering his skull.

However, compared to Zhang Tao's speed, he was much slower.

Zhang Tao also sat down cross-legged and continued to temper his skull. Achieving the Rank Eight realm would happen in these next few days.
