With a resounding Boom, desolate and bleak, a fierce suction emanated from within, ravenously drawing in everything inside the stone chamber—even an ancient, battered warship drifting nearby was yanked into the Fire Civilization Space.

The area of the Fire Civilization Space far exceeded that of the Rune Space by thousands of times, and the rate of absorption was even more violent.

Two old men jolted awake, their rage immediate. They roared, “Insolent wretch, stop this instant!” Wielding divine weapons, they charged at Ye Chen, unleashing their ultimate attack techniques in their first move.

Ye Chen stood suspended in mid-air, calmly looking down upon the pair. He paid no mind to the attack beams imbued with thousands of points of Pseudo-Divine Power. The moment the beams neared his body, his entire form shimmered, rippling like water, and the light passed directly through him, as if striking empty air.

This Sky Beast Superman Mode was peculiar; originating from the ancient world, the Boundary Beast was inherently an embodiment of world laws, capable of completely merging with space, becoming indistinguishable from it—this was not the crude tearing and shuttling of ordinary gods.

As is widely known, "teleportation" involves tearing open a spatial channel, diving in, and forcing a connection point to break open, much like an interstellar ship jumping between coordinates.

However, the transit in Sky Beast Superman Mode meant direct fusion with space itself. Ye Chen could move freely within a 10,000-kilometer radius around himself; he could go anywhere he pleased. Unless the flow of time and space in that entire region was frozen solid, no attack could inflict the slightest harm.

“88 seconds…” Ye Chen silently counted the time in his mind.

Those two golden beams, containing a thousand points of Pseudo-Divine Power, were enough to instantly obliterate any mid-tier expert in the Pseudo-Divine realm, yet as they struck and slashed, they merely passed through Ye Chen’s body without causing injury.

The expressions of the two elders were filled with shock, bordering on disbelief.

“How is this possible? We can’t hurt him!”

“What in the world is he?!” These two men had cultivated for over a hundred thousand years, witnessing countless dynasties and powers rise and fall, yet they had never encountered anything so bizarre—something that could instantly teleport into a stone chamber and be immune to all damage. While dread seized them, the vast quantities of weaponry in the chamber were being sucked away like water draining from a pool, pulled into Ye Chen’s Rune Space and Fire Civilization Space with terrifying speed.

“Stop him, quickly!”

Startled into action, the two bellowed and rushed toward the twin black holes, intending to forcibly tear apart these two spatial conduits.

Ye Chen’s figure flickered, bringing him before the pair. He thrust out his palms, like two golden sabers, aiming directly for their eyeballs.

“Get lost!” the gray-robed elder on the left roared in fury. With a great sweep of his massive hand, an overwhelming surge of Pseudo-Divine Power erupted, piercing Ye Chen’s body without causing any damage whatsoever.

Under the Sky Beast Superman Mode, Ye Chen could switch freely between his physical form and the very fabric of space.

“Ignore him!” The other elder’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the two black holes furiously devouring the treasures in the chamber. He roared, suddenly charging forth. He completely disregarded the resisting Ye Chen, striking straight ahead along his path.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, glancing at the ground. He noted that more than half of the items in the stone chamber had already been collected, leaving only a large pile of divine stones, which were now being sucked into the relic space like falling rain.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen instantly sealed the two spaces. He spared a brief glance for the two elders, waved dismissively, and with a flicker of movement, turned and vanished.

The two elders stared at the spot where Ye Chen had disappeared, their faces ashen, veins bulging on their arms. They had not felt such fury in tens of thousands of years, and this time, their anger knew no bounds.

“That bastard, daring to openly steal from here!” “Aargh… my treasures, my treasures!”

The elders looked at the ravaged floor, their sorrow profound, feeling as if a bitter torrent was rising in their chests. They wished they could seize Ye Chen, flay his skin, and grind his flesh to dust, piece by piece.

“The treasures accumulated by our Fengyue Family over a million years, passed down through generations, are all gone! This damned son of a—I’ll…”

“We must capture him! Issue a warrant! No matter the cost, we must catch this wretch!” “A bounty of one million Pseudo-Divine Stones—no, ten million!”

“I will make him pay in blood, arrgh, my treasures!”

The two stood there, lamenting heartbrokenly, nearly driven mad by their pain. Soon, attendants arrived, and the news spread rapidly through the high echelons of the Fengyue Family. Everyone was incandescent with rage.

The wealth accumulated across generations by an entire family had nearly been wiped out in one swoop!

It was an unforgivable offense!

“Where is that person? He must be killed!”

“Pull up the recordings from the treasury chamber!” “What? It’s him!”

As the footage was displayed, the red-robed elder seated at the head of the Fengyue Family’s solemn hall, along with the imposing man and others, were utterly stunned, their faces etched with shock upon seeing the perpetrator of this monumental disaster: Ye Chen.

“Isn’t he just a Half-God?”

“How could he possibly enter the stone chamber?”

The red-robed elder’s face was filled with disbelief. “He was just fleeing from me moments ago; how could he now evade the combined attack of his father and uncle?” If not for the cold, impassive face captured on the recording, they would never have imagined that the Half-God brat who had escaped them in a spaceship could commit such an act!

“He must be killed! No matter the expense, even if we bankrupt the family, he must die!”

“This is intolerable!”

Everyone was furious, feeling that this act had crossed their absolute limit, wishing they could slaughter Ye Chen ten thousand times over.

Having left the stone chamber, Ye Chen didn't teleport to the central space jump portal in Bishui City, but instead arrived near Mount Chiyan. Following the route etched in his memory, he headed toward the mining operations of the Chiyan Sect.

“65 seconds remaining!” Ye Chen continued to blink across space, each jump covering ten thousand kilometers!

After more than a dozen continuous jumps, he reached a vast territory, protected by a layer of spatial barrier that firmly encased the interior. Without knowing the precise coordinates, outsiders would never suspect that this nearly transparent, camouflaged barrier concealed the Chiyan Sect’s mines.

Ye Chen flashed directly through, permeating the space, and soon arrived in another realm—a place where mountains floated, brilliant light shone down, and auspicious clouds drifted, resembling celestial floating islands.

The external spatial barrier normally issued alerts for anyone entering or exiting, requiring identity verification before granting entry. Otherwise, even the closest Divine Realm experts would trigger an alarm.

It was important to remember that the Sect Master of Chiyan was himself a powerful Divine Realm expert!

Yet, this spatial barrier was utterly meaningless to Ye Chen. He stepped across it directly, arriving among the floating mountains. Looking out, the area was divided into three main zones: the Ghost Stone Area, the Half-God Area, and the Pseudo-God Area.

Ye Chen headed straight for the mountains in the uppermost Pseudo-God Area. There were only nine Pseudo-God Mountains here: six smaller ones, two medium-sized ones, and only one largest one, covering an area of about 100 kilometers across.

“I wonder where the Chiyan Sect managed to find these mines,” Ye Chen scoffed. With a movement, he stepped before the largest Pseudo-God Mine Mountain. This mountain was encircled by mysterious spatial barriers, like an atmosphere, enveloping the entire structure.

Ye Chen’s figure blurred, swimming like a fish through water, directly penetrating about 500 meters deep into the earth of the mountain where he immediately spotted a gleaming golden ore vein, winding like a massive dragon coiled within the mineral island.

Through his innate sense of space, Ye Chen could perceive all movement across the mineral island. There was a monitoring outpost here, along with numerous figures wielding heavy hoes, digging tunnels within the mine. These workers were all at the Pseudo-God level, and their hoes felt impossibly heavy, as if weighted with mountains.

These people labored above him... Ye Chen retrieved the Slaughter Battle Blade, slicing off a chunk of Pseudo-God Stone and tucking it into the Fire Civilization Space, clearing a spot before he began furiously carving away at the Pseudo-God Stone ore.

“I wonder if every mountain has a vein like this,” Ye Chen mused, his eyes blazing with fierce light as he stared at the boundless golden vein before him, digging with frenzied intensity.

“Help needed, all of you, come out.” Ye Chen opened the Rune Space and released Xiao Hei.

The Four-Winged Youth and the burly strongman, holding their respective weapons with utmost respect, began to slice and excavate the Pseudo-God Stone ore, storing it in the Rune Space.

“Wow…” The green-robed old man stood at the entrance of the Rune Space, his eyes shining as he gazed upon the glittering, intensely energetic Pseudo-God ore vein. “Where did you find such a massive vein? Once this is processed, how many Pseudo-Divine Stones will we get!”

“We’re rich!”

“We are seriously rich this time!”

“Haha, following the Boss truly pays off!”

Xiao Hei and the Black Slime Worm controlling the hulking strongman were ecstatic. The remaining Black Slime Worms were busy in the spaceship, taking control of Half-God corpses to assist in the excavation.

This Pseudo-God Stone ore was exceedingly hard; carving it out was proving tremendously difficult.

“If only my power were a bit greater, I could simply shift it all elsewhere,” Ye Chen lamented. With his current strength, he could only shuttle objects with a volume under one cubic kilometer and a weight under ten megatons through space. On Earth, one cubic kilometer of water weighed about one billion tons.

But the ancient world was constructed entirely differently; one cubic kilometer of water weighed 100 million tons (assuming the user meant the ratio was different).

The density of the Pseudo-God Stone ore was 10,000 times that of water, and the final processed Pseudo-God Stone was ten times the density of the raw ore!

Given the volume and mass of the Pseudo-God Stone ore before him, moving it whole was impossible; they could only chip away slowly.

Soon, Ye Chen’s Sky Beast Superman Mode ended, and a wave of intense fatigue washed over him. The physical exertion was enormous, feeling similar to when he had activated the Ant and Lightning Superman modes consecutively in the past.

“Keep the noise down,” Ye Chen murmured softly to Xiao Hei and the others.

Xiao Hei and the others seemed to understand; they nodded obediently and continued digging slowly. They weren't in a hurry anyway, and since the treasure wasn't theirs, they were secretly glad to work slower.

Ye Chen paid them no mind, instead opening the Fire Civilization Space to take stock of the spoils acquired from this raid.
