Beneath the fathomless depths of the Goldenstone Water Abyss came the thunderous crash of water pounding against mountain rock. The thousand-li-long chasm shuddered nonstop, and the surging energy of heaven and earth roiled to life.Figures materialized along both banks of the abyss, their eyes burning with longing and greed as they stared down into the waters. The Goldenstone Spirit Clam Pearls harvested from this hunting ground were rare treasures within the River of Realms Domain. Most importantly, this place belonged to no supreme faction. Those who came to compete here would not be driven away.On one mountain ridge stood Cyrus, Joseph and Angel, leading their party. Behind them were Emily, Albert, Tamara, Tina and many other young cultivators. The five thousand Dragontooth Guards stood fully ready, their overwhelming imposing aura drawing every gaze.Albert fixed his gaze on the abyss’s depths. Boundless golden light churned there, and soon roaring currents burst forth from the

The more pearls they gathered, the higher their mission merit points. They would earn generous Dragon Essence rewards and gain priority when exchanging for whatever supplies they needed.Tina rolled her eyes, yet she did not refuse. “What exactly do you have in mind?”Albert spoke quickly. “I will summon my entire thousand-guard battalion right away. Senior Tina, you push your Vermillion Heart Crimson Fruit Soul to its absolute limit. Leave everything else to me; I will harvest the clams.”“Push my Vermillion Heart Crimson Fruit Soul to the limit? Are you certain you can protect me? Many powerful evil creatures will likely show up.” Tina had her doubts.Albert smiled. “We also have Senior Emily. If things spiral out of control, I will call for help at once.”“Very well. I agree.” Tina was not indecisive and nodded immediately.Seeing this, Albert pulled out his commander’s token and summoned the thousand guards under his command. After a short wait, swarms of figures streaked toward t

Within the Clark Merchant Guild of the Boundary River Domain, this "king pearl" consistently ranks among the top five on the spirit material list. It is priceless and rarely available for sale. Whenever one occasionally surfaces, it draws numerous powerful high-tier god-rank cultivators to compete for it.More than one all-out war between god-rank experts has broken out over it."The goldenstone spirit clam king!"The abyss water churned. A host of figures, their auras merged as one, burst through the water. Leading them was Drew of the Divine Tiger Guards. He had been watching from afar. Albert’s astonishing pearl-harvesting efficiency had already stirred his covetousness, yet he never imagined the goldenstone spirit clam king would be lured out as well."It is that woman! She possesses some rare heaven-and-earth treasure soul!"Drew pinpointed Tina at once. The strange fragrance emanating from her was what had drawn the swarms of goldenstone spirit clams.This woman herself was a tr

The entranced figures snapped back to their senses at once, cold sweat streaming down their faces as they scrambled backward.Latham of the Goldenstone Alliance stared grimly at the 8-Star True Demon. "Everyone, we must join forces to slay this fiend first. We can settle scores afterward. If it escapes, countless more will die."None present were 8-Star God Realm cultivators, so no single person could stand against the 8-Star True Demon alone. Fortunately, they held the advantage in numbers and should be able to subdue it together.Sellers nodded at Latham’s proposal. Jacques wore a dark expression. He glanced at his severed wrist, regret gnawing at him for his recklessness. The Goldenstone Spirit Clam King had existed for ages and must have absorbed massive residual evil qi from the abyss waters. The odds of it birthing an evil creature were high. Yet greed for the King Pearl clouded his judgment, driving him to seize the treasure first.Now he had lost a hand. Though potent elixirs

He tried to break off the fight and chase Albert immediately.Yet a blade wreathed in thick murderous aura slashed toward him, blocking his path.Jacques spun his head and saw Joseph charging straight at him with his butcher’s blade, his face fierce and savage. Surging ferocity rolled off the blade light.“You cur! Our fight is between us. Why go after the youngsters?”Jacques had no choice but to meet the attack. His roar boomed across the entire water abyss.“Drew, chase them! Albert has the King Pearl. Hold him back. Our reinforcements will arrive soon!”Once his shout echoed out, chaos erupted fully within the abyss.“After them!”Drew’s face turned livid. He let out a sharp roar and shot forward with the Divine Tiger Guards.At the same time, experts from the other factions and rogue cultivators surged out of the water abyss one after another.In an instant, the whole region descended into greater turmoil.On a mountain peak overlooking the abyss, Freya cupped her hands before he
