Chapter 246: He's Steamrolling Sin Domain

“What was that just now?”

Rubbing his head, Jiang Changkong felt a sharp pain, a soul-piercing agony.

He had only managed to catch a glimpse of a flash of blood-red light and a blurry outline that resembled a palace.

A palace!

Jiang Changkong quickly retrieved the Three-Colored Stone Pearl. Instantly, three-colored light shot out and vanished into his mind.

The stinging sensation faded, and Jiang Changkong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this was indeed what he had been searching for.

Moreover, the intense blood-red light—could it be the Blood Qi Palace?

Among the three palaces—Taiyin, Taiyang, and Blood Qi—only the Blood Qi Palace matched the description.

However, the images in his mind only mentioned the Blood Qi Palace without detailing its contents.

Most of the information revolved around Taiyin and Taiyang. As for why the Blood Qi Palace wasn’t elaborated on, he considered several possibilities.

First, the Blood Qi Palace was too insignificant to be mentioned alongside the other two.

Second, the Blood Qi Palace was too terrifying, and the old man who left the information didn’t fully understand it, having only glimpsed it before disaster struck.

Or perhaps there simply wasn’t enough time to leave more details.

But regardless of the reason, for him now, it was undoubtedly an immensely powerful treasure.

“This Blood Qi Palace is likely going to be troublesome.”

The Three-Colored Stone Pearl dimmed again, and the palace had vanished.

With his late-stage Stellar Embryo cultivation, merely coming into contact with it had injured him. Though not severe, it was still troublesome.

He needed to inform Yao Chan and the others.

Jiang Changkong stored the Three-Colored Stone Pearl and vanished from sight.

Rumble—

Above the Sin Domain, a terrifying force illuminated the night.

The sandy beach of the isolated island was gone, and the barrier was covered by a layer of silt.

Star Power converged, transforming the silt into solid walls encircling the island.

A group of Star Spirit Martial Artists, three thousand meters underground, channeled their Star Power, pushing forward relentlessly.

In two days, they had advanced less than a hundred thousand meters. At this rate, it would likely take half a month to complete.

Jiang Changkong descended from the sky, and the gathered prodigies ceased their efforts, approaching him.

“You’ve worked hard,” Jiang Changkong said calmly.

“Three days have passed. Are you going to take action?” Yao Chan frowned, her red lips glowing faintly. “I think you should conserve your strength.”

Jiang Changkong replied indifferently, “There’s something underground that moves. All of you should rest now.”

“Something moving underground? Is it those criminals?” the prodigies asked anxiously.

“No, it’s something strange. I only caught a vague glimpse—it looked like a palace,” Jiang Changkong explained.

“A palace?” The prodigies were stunned. “Impossible. How could there be a palace in the Sin Domain? And one that moves?”

“I’m not sure either. That palace is extremely bizarre. I only encountered it briefly and sustained minor injuries,” Jiang Changkong clarified. “All of you, be careful. Have everyone retreat.”

He had no choice. The power of the Blood Qi Palace had exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he had thought that reaching the late stage of the Stellar Embryo would allow him to claim it quietly for himself. Now, it seemed impossible.

Since that was the case, he might as well let everyone know. He couldn’t possibly kill everyone here just for the sake of a palace.

The Martial Artists stopped, looking curiously at Jiang Changkong. The prodigies hadn’t told them exactly what was happening.

The Blood Qi Palace, capable of injuring Jiang Changkong—anyone could guess it was a treasure of immense value.

These prodigies were all eagerly anticipating it. Even if Jiang Changkong took the lion’s share, surely they could at least get some scraps?

As everyone stepped back, Nan Wuyang drew his sword. “Need it?”

“No need,” Jiang Changkong waved his hand. His weapon was decent, but it was still only sixth-tier, unable to fully channel his Star Power.

With a single raised palm, Blazing Sun Star Power surged forth, a force capable of annihilating heaven and earth spreading outward.

Everyone watched in terror as the Star Power passed by, everything in its path vanishing.

Yes, vanishing—completely and utterly disappearing!

Three thousand meters of earth silently vanished, not even dust remaining, as if it had never existed at all.

The Star Power continued to spread, the surrounding ground disappearing. The group stared blankly at the scene.

There was no screaming, no panic—only emptiness, devoid of any thought.

They were utterly stunned!

Damn, are you here just to bully us?

In the blink of an eye, everything within a radius of ten thousand meters dissipated. Then, another burst of Blazing Sun Star Power lit up.

With this level of power, we seriously suspect you weren’t using your full strength when you bullied Jin Chen.

Chopping away for a whole day was purely for show!

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Changkong strode forward, covering hundreds of meters with each step. This speed was already accommodating for them.

The group snapped out of their daze and hurried to catch up.

“What… what level have you reached? Stellar Embryo?”

“How did you sneak in here?”

“Are you some old monster disguised on purpose?”

A group of prodigies followed, bombarding him with questions.

Jiang Changkong raised his hand slightly, and all voices ceased. “I’m not older than any of you. People call me a genius.”

The group: “…”

Can you even be measured by the term “genius”?

You’re clearly a freak!

With a single wave of your hand, everything within ten thousand meters is gone!

Vanished, clean as if evaporated.

“That thing is nearby.” Jiang Changkong looked down at his feet. “We need to dig deeper.”

Heng Qingyue said uneasily, “You’re not really planning to go ten thousand meters, are you?”

“What’s the force limit of this Star Power barrier?” Jiang Changkong looked up at the barrier in the sky.

Nan Wuyang replied, “Early-stage Stellar Body. What are you planning?”

“Early-stage Stellar Body… That thing has been moving but never left the Sin Domain. My initial judgment is that it should be within the Stellar Body.”

Jiang Changkong pondered. “Don’t you want to know what it is? Don’t you want your families to share in the benefits?”

“You’re willing to share with us?” Many prodigies were tempted.

“We’re all friends. Let’s rely on our own abilities.” Jiang Changkong smiled faintly.

If I could handle it alone, why would I share with you?

Jiang Changkong knew his limits. Even with the Three-Colored Stone Pearl, he couldn’t take that palace for himself.

Trying to stop them from scheming was practically impossible.

Moreover, once the palace appeared, the Federation would likely find out immediately, and many High-Rank Martial Artists would surely come.

In that case, it was better to do them a favor. They could rely on their own abilities and see who could seize it.

“Then let’s dig! Dig like crazy!”

The group of prodigies exclaimed excitedly, “We’ll remember this. If there really is a palace, whether we gain anything or not, we owe you a favor.”

“Right, if it’s truly a high-tier treasure, we owe you a favor.”

Many prodigies made promises.

Jiang Changkong chuckled, unconcerned. He would only act once the palace left.

As long as the palace remained in the Sin Domain, he wasn’t afraid of it escaping.

Once he cleared out the entire ten thousand meters, no matter how much the palace moved, it wouldn’t be able to get away.

He raised his palm again, and the ground vanished. The group of Martial Artists hovered in mid-air, not falling.

Everyone marveled once more at Jiang Changkong’s power.

The remaining seven thousand meters of earth evaporated, revealing a layer of golden light below—the Sin Domain’s Protective Shield.

The group stepped onto the protective shield, and Jiang Changkong took action once more. A blazing sun rose, releasing boundless starlight that spread in all directions, causing the ground to begin to evaporate.

At this rate, it would take roughly a day to level the Sin Domain.

Perfect!

Deep underground, a group of Sin Domain martial artists grew panicked once again. Over the past few days, the earth had been constantly trembling, making it difficult for them to remain at ease.

“What on earth is happening outside? Could it be that the high-level creature that roared earlier has gone mad?” the martial artists asked one after another.

The nine seated individuals wore grave expressions as they looked toward the approaching figure in black. “What’s happening outside?”

“Wang Ruiqing is investigating. The surveillance devices I buried underground have been activated, and we’ll have news soon,” the black-clad figure replied.

A middle-aged man approached, his expression serious. “I regret to inform you all that we can no longer hide.”

“What exactly is happening?” the black-clad figure pressed, his gaze fixed intently on him.

Wang Ruiqing spoke heavily, “The earth is disappearing. This time, a powerful individual has entered the Sin Domain, and he is sweeping through it.”

The black-clad figure and the nine others: “…”

Sweeping through the Sin Domain? Is he out of his mind?

We’ve hidden all the way down here, and for the sake of a few Star Stones, you’re going to level the entire Sin Domain?
