Middle Divine Aperture, Breakthrough!
"Could it be that this person possesses innate superhuman strength?"
The chubby-cheeked girl was secretly astonished. She had seen people with superhuman strength before, who could have thousands of calories of Blood Qi Value at the age of three, and whose strength was unparalleled at the Blood-Qi Stage.
Generally speaking, people born with superhuman strength have a power exceeding 200,000 jin in their Upper Divine Aperture. When they unleash their full power, they can smash a small hill with a single punch. The strength of the person in front of us definitely exceeds 200,000 jin.
To deal with this kind of person, you can't confront them head-on; you can only engage in a protracted struggle and look for an opportunity to defeat them during the struggle.
With this in mind, the chubby-cheeked girl began to use her skillful movements to close the distance, and at the same time used the Ultimate Intent Sect - ' Ultimate Intent Divine Fist '. She used several top-level martial arts at the same time and began to fight Chen Lie.
"Boom boom boom!"
Chen Lie swung his fists continuously, his golden blood energy surging out like a golden ocean, as countless fist shadows slammed towards the chubby-cheeked girl.
Chen Lie had not cultivated any powerful martial arts, but the chubby-cheeked girl in front of him was fully armed. The movement techniques, leg techniques, and palm techniques she used in the battle were all top-level SSSSSSS-grade advanced martial arts. Her ' Ultimate Intent Divine Fist ' even faintly exceeded the scope of a 5S-grade martial art.
Against such a powerful expert at the Upper Divine Aperture, Chen Lie, who knew no martial arts, was naturally at a disadvantage. Because of the support of these martial arts, the chubby-cheeked girl's combat power could almost double in a short period of time.
However, Chen Lie Blood Tempering sixteen times and cultivated Pure Yang Precious Blood, Five Viscera Vajra Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone, Tough Skin Resilient Flesh. His foundation was extremely profound. Unless one possessed Extraordinary Bloodline and a powerful Upper Divine Aperture, no one else could possibly defeat Chen Lie.
After just a dozen or so moves, the chubby-cheeked girl showed signs of defeat. Chen Lie swung both fists simultaneously, unleashing hundreds of punches in a single breath. With the power of 200,000 jin (approximately 100,000 tons) amplified by his Pure Yang Precious Blood, each punch was enough to shake the earth.
The deafening roar never ceased. Within the area swept by the golden ocean of Pure Yang Precious Blood, the chubby-cheeked girl was extremely uncomfortable from the unbearable scorching sensation, and her level 5S martial arts movements gradually became difficult to execute.
"Ultimate Intent Divine Fist, Fifth Form!"
Taking advantage of the moment when she dodged Chen Lie's attack, the chubby-cheeked girl launched an attack on Chen Lie from behind.
The Ultimate Intent Divine Fist is the supreme martial art of the Ultimate Intent Sect's Blood-Qi Stage. Its power far exceeds that of SSSSSS-level martial arts. The force unleashed by a single punch is far greater than her own.
"Boom!"
With a single punch, her blood and qi nearly broke through Chen Lie's blood and qi barrier.
"This..."
The chubby-cheeked girl's face turned pale with shock; at that moment, she felt a sense of despair.
His carefully planned, all-out punch failed to break through the opponent's defense? What kind of freak is this?
"You can't escape!"
Chen Lie suddenly turned around and threw a punch in an instant.
A punch, immeasurably powerful with the force of two hundred thousand jin and imbued with Pure Yang Precious Blood, instantly slammed into the chubby-cheeked girl.
With a loud "boom," Chen Lie's punch, as powerful as a tumbleweed, shattered the baby-faced girl's protective qi and blood, sending her crashing into the ground.
In her panic, the chubby-cheeked girl tried her best to dodge Chen Lie's punch. Although she avoided most of the force, the remaining power still severely injured her. She was knocked to the ground, and the impact created a two-meter-deep human-shaped hole in the ground.
The surrounding members of the Ultimate Intent Sect gasped in astonishment. Their Ultimate Intent Sect sister was no match for this man, defeated in less than two minutes?
"Who exactly is this person? How can he be so strong?"
"Among all the Qi and Blood Martial Artist in Chong Star, Bao'er Sister Bao'er's strength is guaranteed to be among the top four, and she's even aiming for the top three. How come...?"
After a while, the chubby-cheeked girl finally emerged from the crack in the ground.
At this moment, her clothes were disheveled, and she felt as if her whole body was falling apart, as if all her bones and muscles were broken. Chen Lie had almost crippled her with a single punch.
Chen Lie reached out and grabbed, a powerful suction force pulling the chubby-cheeked girl directly into his hand.
"Now we can finally start mining properly, right?"
Chen Lie glanced around at the newly arrived members of the Ultimate Intent Sect.
"Ahem... Just who are you?"
The chubby-cheeked girl stared at Chen Lie with a look of terror on her face.
As everyone knows, there is no order on this Divine Source Ancient Star. If the other party harbors murderous intent, she will definitely not survive this time.
Although the Three Faction Starfields have rules against ruthless extermination, the person in front of him is definitely not the kind of person who follows the rules.
Yuan Bao'er Chong Star in Chongxing, and the elders of the sect had high hopes for her. Unexpectedly, she hadn't even reached her full potential and was destined to perish here today?
"All you need to know now is that I am the king of this Divine Source Ancient Star!"
Chen Lie once again used his divine control technique to place a binding spell on the chubby-cheeked girl before him.
His eyes shone with golden light, and golden blood energy began to invade the chubby-cheeked girl's forehead from within them.
In a short while, a golden mark appeared on the chubby-cheeked girl's forehead.
What did you do?
"I didn't do anything, I just planted a Life-and-Death Tribulation in you. If you dare to make any unusual movements, or leave my range of one thousand meters, your head will explode instantly!" Chen Lie said calmly.
"You know how to do this?" The chubby-cheeked girl looked at Chen Lie with surprise and doubt.
Chen Lie said no more and shoved the chubby-cheeked girl away.
At this moment, Mo Yun, the young master of the Ultimate Intent Sect, and several members of the Middle Divine Aperture arrived.
"Bao'er, have you... also been placed under a spell?"
As soon as Mo Yun arrived in front of the chubby-cheeked girl, he immediately noticed the golden mark between her eyebrows.
"Also? You know this?" the chubby-cheeked girl asked quickly.
Chen Lie said to Mo Yun, "Now that you're here, explain things to her properly, so she doesn't suffer for nothing."
Mo Yun and several disciples at the Middle Divine Aperture explained to the chubby-cheeked girl the restrictions Chen Lie had placed upon her.
Upon hearing this, the chubby-cheeked girl turned pale, her heart filled with despair.
"Being bound by this kind of restriction, isn't that the end for me...?"
Chen Lie then said, "I am not one to indiscriminately kill innocent people. As long as you obediently mine for me for a month, I will naturally release you from your confinement before I leave."
"Real?"
The chubby-cheeked girl's eyes lit up.
Chen Lie nodded. "The premise is that you can reach the production target. Now, hand over all the Divine Source you possess."
"Yes, we'll hand it all over... we'll hand it all over!"
The chubby-cheeked girl quickly summoned several Middle Divine Aperture and Blood Martial Artist from the Ultimate Intent Sect who had reached the intermediate Divine Aperture level, and then took out the Divine Source.
A total of 700,000 catties of Divine Source were handed over to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie accepted the Divine Source and praised with satisfaction, "Not bad, you know what's good for you. What's your name?"
"My name is Yuan Bao'er. I am Ultimate Intent Sect of the Jiyi Sect, one of the four major sects of Chong Star. I was the first place winner in the Ultimate Intent Sect's year-end Blood-Qi Stage Disciples Competition. I am commonly known as the Outer Sect Senior Sister," Yuan Bao'er explained.
"You're so young, and you're already the senior sister?"
"Our Ultimate Intent Sect follows the strategy of 'the capable rise and the mediocre fall.' No matter how young you are, if you are strong, you will be the senior brother or sister."
"Very good, then you will be the foreman. Your job is to supervise everyone's mining, and each person must hand over 500 catties of Divine Source to me every day. After three days, the daily task will increase to 600 catties," Chen Lie said.
"Yes!" Yuan Bao'er responded obediently, "May I ask your name, sir?"
"Just call me Wang Hui!" Chen Liedao.
"Brother Wang Hui, this Divine Source Ore Veins area currently only has more than 50 mines, and they are all small and medium-sized mines. We currently have more than 300, close to 400 people. There are too many people and too few mines. It cannot accommodate so many people mining together. What should we do?" Yuan Bao'er said.
Chen Liedao, "That's simple. Since there's not enough room for so many people to mine together, we'll have them work in two shifts, day and night, with half the people on the day shift and the other half on the night shift."
When the day shift workers finish mining and rest, the night shift workers start mining again; when the night shift workers rest during the day, the day shift workers take over mining.
Mining will be carried out on both sides in rotation, ensuring that mining continues even when people are resting, so that neither operation is disrupted.
Yuan Bao'er's lips twitched. She truly hadn't expected Wang Hui to come up with such a vicious plan; his heart was truly black...
However, being controlled by others, she naturally dared not retaliate and said, "It is indeed a brilliant plan, but Brother Wang Hui, we don't need to go through so much trouble. In addition to this Divine Source Ore Veins Zone, we also occupy another Divine Source Ore Veins Zone. This Divine Source Ore Veins Zone is the No. 21 Divine Source Mining Zone, while the other Divine Source Ore Veins Zone occupied by our Ultimate Intent Sect is the No. 76 Divine Source Mining Zone."
The No. 76 Divine Source Mining Zone located about 500 miles to the south. When we arrived, we left less than ten people to guard it. If the No. 76 Divine Source Ore Veins is attacked at this time, these people will definitely not be able to hold it.
"How about we go to the No. 76 Divine Source Mining Zone..."
"No need!" Chen Lie waved his hand dismissively, "It doesn't matter where we dig for the Divine Source, it's all the same. Going back and forth is a waste of time, so just dig here!"
"Um... Brother Wang Hui, didn't you know? The No. 76 Divine Source Ore Veins is of far higher quality than this No. 21 Divine Source Mine Zone. Although our trip back and forth will take up time, once we reach the No. 76 Divine Source Mining Zone, your daily earnings will be far greater than what you would earn mining here."
"Oh? Is that so?" Chen Lie looked at Yuan Bao'er.
"This is common knowledge! When the Three Faction Starfields divided the Divine Source Ore Veins, it was done from the outside in!"
The outermost Divine Source Ore Veins areas produce only inferior Divine Source. For example, from Divine Source Ore Veins Area No. 1 to Divine Source Ore Veins Area No. 50, the Divine Source Ore Veins Divine Source mined from these areas are all of inferior Divine Source.
From the 50th to the 90th Divine Source Ore Veins Divine Source Ore Veins Zone, the Divine Source Divine Source mined out were all of medium quality and of relatively high quality.
Above the No. 100 Divine Source Mining Zone, the Divine Source mined is all perfect Divine Source, resembling amethyst, exhibiting a transparent purple color.
This perfect quality Divine Source contains almost no impurities.
Unfortunately, the Divine Source Ore Veins Zones 100 to 130 are occupied by the giant forces of the Three Faction Starfields. That is the central part of this Divine Source Ancient Star, and our Ultimate Intent Sect can hardly get a share of the pie here.
"Brother Wang Hui, if you urgently need Divine Source, why don't you go to the No. 100 Divine Source Mining Zone? Even if you can't take over the entire Divine Source Ore Veins area by yourself, you can still plunder it all. The profits you get that way are much more than what we can make mining for a month," Yuan Bao'er said.
"Is there truly Divine Source at the center of the Ancient Star that manifests as transparent glue?" Chen Lie's eyes flickered uncertainly.
Wouldn't this Divine Source be of the same quality as the Divine Source of the Central Galactic Empire?
"I have some samples here, you can take a look!"
Yuan Bao'er immediately took out a Divine Source that looked like an amethyst from her Storage Pouch and handed it to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie took the Divine Source and examined it. He immediately used his blood and qi to refine it.
In an instant, the transparent Divine Source was devoured by Chen Lie.
"Not bad, it really is of the same quality as the Divine Source of the Central Galactic Empire..."
Yuan Bao'er was stunned, looking at Chen Lie. He had just said... the Central Galactic Empire?
Could he be from the Central Galactic Empire?
That's impossible! This Divine Source Ancient Star is monopolized by Three Faction Starfields. Only people from those Three Faction Starfields can enter it. How could someone from another place suddenly appear?
He's definitely bluffing!
"Are all the Divine Source Divine Source Ore Veins after number 100 of this quality?" Chen Lie asked.
"Yes, your strength should be no less than that of the geniuses of the Three Faction Starfields. They come in groups, while you are all alone, moving freely. As long as you seize the opportunity and avoid these top geniuses, you can rob one place and then another."
If you succeed more than three times, you'll likely achieve financial freedom.
"Furthermore, using inferior Divine Source to cultivate Divine Aperture is not only inefficient, but also prone to leaving hidden dangers," Yuan Bao'er strongly advised.
"Alright, then you'll lead the way to Divine Source Ore Veins Area No. 100. We'll set off at dawn!"
Although Chen Lie suspected that Yuan Bao'er's motives were impure, Chen Lie didn't care.
His Storage Pouch only has two thousand cubic meters of space; isn't it a waste to use it all to store these inferior Divine Source?
We must maximize profits; if we're going to install something, we must install Divine Source of perfect quality.
In terms of conversion, ten pounds of inferior Divine Source are equivalent to one pound of perfect quality Divine Source.
"Okay!"
Yuan Bao'er nodded immediately.
After saying all this, Chen Lie returned to the makeshift rest room.
The makeshift rest area was in ruins due to the earlier battle, but Chen Lie didn't care.
He laid out all 700,000 Divine Source he had just obtained before him and began to refine it.
In the instant of refining, he discovered that many impurities had been removed from the Divine Source before him.
"This is a medium-quality Divine Source? It's definitely much better quality than before!"
Chen Lie murmured to himself as he began to rapidly refine the Divine Source before him.
Neither inferior nor medium-quality Divine Source Divine Source leave any hidden dangers for Chen Lie, because he knew how to use Divine Source, how to remove impurities, and how to absorb only the pure energy within the Divine Source.
However, for some people who do not practice the correct methods, using inferior Divine Source to cultivate their Divine Aperture can lead to many hidden dangers.
Because he was using a medium-quality Divine Source for cultivation this time, Chen Lie's cultivation speed was much faster.
In just a few hours, he consumed all 700,000 jin of Divine Source.
At this moment, his Lower Divine Aperture was nearing perfection, and he used the excess Divine Source to cultivate his Primordial Spirit Aperture once more.
Seeing that things were going smoothly, Chen Lie began to secretly circulate the method of opening his Divine Aperture using the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique>.
With a "boom," his third Divine Aperture, the Middle Divine Aperture, opened.
