Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 135 - 131: Black on Black

Wang Xu and Fuyu occupied this ore vein and immediately began excavating.

Fuyu didn’t take out a mechanical shovel; instead, he drew his longsword.

"Hmm?" Wang Xu was puzzled, "Why aren’t you using a mechanical shovel?"

Fuyu smiled mysteriously, "You’ll see in a moment."

Suddenly, the longsword in Fuyu’s hand radiated a bright light, and then the blade began to vibrate intensely. The amplitude of the vibration was so small that it was not noticeable unless closely observed.

Wham!

With a gentle stroke of the sword, the hard stone wall was sliced like tofu by the longsword, stirring loosely as stone chips fell.

"This... is your Sword Will!" Wang Xu’s eyes lit up.

Unlike the Sword Will Wang Xu had comprehended, Fuyu’s Sword Will caused the blade to vibrate intensely, using the power of tremor to attack. Even if the power was the same, the cutting effect was completely different.

"That’s right, this is my Heaven and Earth Will. It’s precisely because of this Sword Will that I named my sword ’Tremor Blade,’" Fuyu said with a smile, "Using this Will for excavation is more appropriate than anything; even a mechanical shovel is far too slow in comparison."

Wang Xu admired Fuyu’s Sword Will immensely and stopped to carefully observe Fuyu’s Sword Will.

Fuyu ignored Wang Xu’s ongoing gaze at the Tremor Blade and continued to slice and stir in the stone wall with one sword stroke after another. In no time, Fuyu had penetrated several dozen meters into the mine and obtained two pieces of Flame Cold Stone.

At this time, Wang Xu also took out the White Jade Long Saber.

The White Jade Long Saber was tightly gripped in Wang Xu’s hand as he stood there alone, closing his eyes to comprehend.

Fuyu continued to delve deeper into the mine, searching for Flame Cold Stone.

Suddenly, a faint dark light appeared on the blade of the White Jade Long Saber, and the blade began to tremor slightly. The tremor was very subtle and fleeting, which Fuyu didn’t notice at all, immersed in his exploration.

Two hours later.

Buzz! The light on the blade of the White Jade Long Saber grew brighter and the intensity of the tremor increased. Finally, when the tremor reached a certain limit, the light suddenly brightened, and Wang Xu swiftly opened his eyes and thrust the White Jade Long Saber into the mine!

Whack.

Without any sense of obstruction, the blade of the White Jade Long Saber sank entirely into the stone wall.

Seeing this, Fuyu frowned and said, "Your power is strong, but if you squander it like this, your physical strength won’t hold."

Fuyu knew Wang Xu was cutting the stone wall with Heaven and Earth Will, but he could never have guessed that Wang Xu was using his Sword Will!

Fuyu used a sword, Wang Xu used a long saber, and their war soldiers were different, their Heaven and Earth Wills were worlds apart. It was common knowledge about Heaven and Earth Wills, which was why Fuyu had no doubts about the Heaven and Earth Will Wang Xu was using.

Wang Xu smiled lightly without reaching, continuing to cut the stone wall with his long saber.

One hour, two hours, three hours... until six hours had passed, Wang Xu still continued to exploit the stone wall with the White Jade Long Saber.

Fuyu grew more and more astonished. Wang Xu’s prolonged use of Sword Will to use great force to cut the stone wall, theoretically, Wang Xu should have worn out long ago, but after six hours, Wang Xu looked the same as usual, not even breathing heavily.

Surprised as he was, Fuyu’s genuine concern was the Flame Cold Stone. The two delved deeply into the mine. In just a few hours, they had gone several kilometers deep and harvested dozens of Flame Cold Stones.

Both were overjoyed. Fuyu was happy about the bountiful harvest; at this rate of accumulation, it would take him less than ten days to gather enough Flame Cold Stones to enter the Star City of the Purple Vein Star Domain and proceed to the Black Water Cosmic Country to participate in the talent battle.

Wang Xu was happy about his increasingly clear and proficient comprehension of Sword Will, even surpassing Fuyu in the tremor intensity.

...

Ten days later.

"We’ve collected enough Flame Cold Stones; I’m leaving," Fuyu said.

"Me too," Wang Xu said, "Let’s go, collecting just three more Bright Demon Stones, and we can head straight out."

In ten days, Wang Xu and Fuyu delved tens of thousands of kilometers, hollowing out the entire Flame Cold Stone Vein and harvesting nearly two thousand pieces of Flame Cold Stone.

Wang Xu initially only intended to collect enough for two hundred Flame Cold Stones, keeping ten pieces for himself after turning in 95%, and then leave directly.

But Fuyu wanted to collect more Flame Cold Stones, resulting in the two spending a whole ten days in the mine.

In the first few days, cosmic martial artists came daily trying to seize the ores. At the peak, there were over fifty Extreme Void Levels, but with Wang Xu and Fuyu’s combined strength, they defeated all attackers, even killing several, instilling immense fear among the cosmic martial artists, causing them to flee in all directions.

Since then, no cosmic martial artist dared to come and clamor for the ores in this mine again.

"Wait a minute." Fu Yu spoke, "We’ve only just come in for a few days, it’s too little. Why don’t we do something meaningful?"

Wang Xu was puzzled, "Something meaningful?"

Fu Yu said, "This star is a star ore vein, the whole star has a variety of rare minerals. Once we leave, we might never have a chance to come back again, so why not collect some minerals to take with us."

A star ore vein has astonishing value because it harbors unknown rare minerals. These minerals have tremendous uses, capable of forging powerful cosmic battleships, sturdy mechanical structures, and advanced technological civilizations. All these are built on the foundation of these rare minerals.

It is thus evident how immense the value of rare minerals is.

"Collecting rare minerals is fine, but we can only take away 95%, I don’t want to work for free for the Purple Vein Star Domain." Wang Xu shook his head.

Wang Xu had considered this idea, but when he found out that this star ore vein was guarded by a White Hole Level being, he immediately dismissed the thought of secretly taking away minerals.

No matter how strong Wang Xu’s power, he had no issue dealing with an ordinary Black Hole Level being, and could even contend with a Black Hole Level being like Mie Cang. But if he truly encountered a White Hole Level being, he might not even have the time to escape before being crushed to powder by a single finger.

"Free labor? No, I don’t want to go through that kind of tedious and tasteless time again." Fu Yu said, "This time, we’re going to rob!"

"Rob someone else’s minerals?" Wang Xu frowned, such bandit-like actions were something he could not do.

Seeing Wang Xu’s somewhat disapproving expression, Fu Yu quickly said, "We’re going to plunder those who specifically plunder others. According to the cosmic thieves, it would be ’black eats black’."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xu finally understood what Fu Yu wanted to do as a "meaningful thing".

He actually wanted to rob those plunderers! frёewebnoѵēl.com

However... it did seem very meaningful indeed.

Fu Yu and Wang Xu exchanged a glance, then grinned, nodding and revealing a mischievous smile like children up to some prank.

......

Xu Di, a Cosmic Martial Artist at the Extreme Void Level, came to this star ore vein, drawn by its fame. When he learned that he could only stay here for a year, he frowned. In one year’s time, how much could be mined? And he still had to hand over 95% to the Purple Vein Star Domain, leaving even less for himself.

Thus, Xu Di harbored evil thoughts.

He roamed around the star ore vein and as soon as he saw any Upper Void or Initial Void Cosmic Martial Artist alone, he would immediately go over and forcibly seize the minerals in their hands. In order to survive, these Cosmic Martial Artists had no choice but to admit their bad luck and hand over the minerals they had painstakingly mined to Xu Di.

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Xu Di was extremely excited and continued doing evil, even recruiting several Cosmic Martial Artists at the Extreme Void Level to join him, strengthening his power to seize more minerals.

Of course, if the other side also had a group of Extreme Void Level beings, Xu Di would simply choose to avoid them.

He was here to gain wealth, not to risk his life.

Thus, Xu Di rampaged through the star ore vein for more than half a year, expanding his team to thirteen Extreme Void Levels, amassing a large quantity of minerals in his possession. Even if 95% had to be handed over, what remained was still worth a hefty amount of Cosmic Crystals.

Today, he led his team to the Bright Demon Stone vein, preparing to grab the wealth of an Extreme Void Level team he had been eyeing for a long time.

This team was very strong, with nine Extreme Void Levels. The first time he encountered them, Xu Di did not make a move as he was unsure. But now with his side having thirteen Extreme Void Levels, both in numbers and strength, they could completely crush the other side. Furthermore, after so many days, it was likely the other side had collected a lot of minerals, so Xu Di immediately led his people over.

However, when he arrived here, he found that the team of Extreme Void Levels had already vanished, leaving only two Cosmic Martial Artists standing at the entrance to the mine.

One was of Extreme Void Level, and the other of Upper Void Level. Seeing this lineup, Xu Di couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

"Heh? Did those guys call for reinforcements so quickly?" Wang Xu was puzzled upon seeing Xu Di’s team.

Fu Yu had found out that the occupiers of this Bright Demon Stone vein were a ruthless plunderer team. They not only occupied other people’s mines but also seized other Cosmic Martial Artists’ minerals, accumulating a massive fortune.

So, Wang Xu and Fu Yu came here, and effortlessly beat the nine Extreme Void Levels into submission, making them willingly surrender all the minerals they had on their bodies to Wang Xu.

"Damn, they’re rich!" Seeing their space rings for the first time, even Wang Xu couldn’t help but curse in amazement.

Wang Xu had thought his 1.7 million Cosmic Crystals was a huge amount, but in the eyes of these plunderers, it was just a drop in the ocean!

Of course, they still needed to hand over 95% of these things, but even after doing so, what was left was more than enough to make Wang Xu’s wallet bulge again.

However, just after those plunderers had left, another batch of Cosmic Martial Artists arrived.

"You are..." Wang Xu just started to ask when Xu Di interrupted him with one sentence.

"To run into us is your misfortune, obediently hand over your space rings, or else... hmph!" Xu Di said coldly.

Fu Yu and Wang Xu were stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance and revealed a satisfied smile.
