Chapter 722: We're Rich!
"Hurry!"Qixin said.
The next moment, the three of them attacked in unison.
Terrifying might slammed into those faint traces of Dao marks.
The Dao marks, which appeared to be less than one percent remaining, were as tough as stone, stubbornly holding against their assault.
But thankfully, the rapid recovery momentum of the golden Dao marks was immediately suppressed.
Moreover, since the golden Dao marks had already been mostly worn away, their recovery speed had decreased. The three's destruction speed exceeded the recovery speed, but only by a slim margin.
They quickly calculated the pace - if they relied solely on their own efforts to grind away at the marks, they would need at least seven million Yuan Assemblies to completely eliminate all the Dao marks. During this period, they couldn't stop to do anything else. If they paused midway, the marks would rapidly recover.
"Only seven million Yuan Assemblies isn't that much time." Qixin breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Tianxiang also relaxed: "During this time, the Scavengers and the Nothingness Chaos will provide plenty of living beings, greatly accelerating the grinding speed!"
Zang Tianguan had no objections either. These Dao marks would be ground away soon enough.
The three gradually fell silent, all diligently attacking the golden Dao marks.
But slowly, an inexplicable tension once again settled over everyone's hearts.
The three subtly increased the distance between their positions - ostensibly to have more room for unleashing their techniques, but the real reason was clear as crystal to everyone.
Once the Dao marks were completely worn away, if the treasures within the hall could only be used by one or two people, a conflict among hundred-rank powerhouses would inevitably break out!
Meanwhile.
Su Yuan noticed that the Nothingness Chaos had already ended on its own at some point.
This made Su Yuan regretful. The number of Heaven Slaves he had gathered was only a little over ten billion - still far too few.
He had no idea where these Heaven Slaves came from, and they vanished without a trace.
Su Yuan then noticed something strange.
"How strange - massive numbers of heart-mind connections are dissipating!"
Su Yuan immediately discovered that many of the heart-mind connections linked to him were dissolving!
Some of the True Name Stars within his body had mysteriously transformed into False Name Stars, meaning their owners had fallen!
This situation puzzled him greatly.
He immediately reached out through his heart-mind senses, connecting to more living beings.
Soon, he found that all living beings had lost a huge chunk of their heart-mind connections. Many of their causal network contacts had disappeared.
This situation immediately raised Su Yuan's alertness.
He quickly investigated the situation within the First Frontline, gathering various information to find the source of the trouble.
Before long, he found some clues from the heart-mind of certain living beings.
Many members of the three major factions who had been out in the field had mysteriously vanished.
This left many people outside the three factions puzzled about what had happened.
Su Yuan was equally confused.
Using his [World Traveler] ability, he directly descended his heart-mind into a certain grand hall within the Nothingness Prison.
Then Su Yuan materialized and looked around.
Quiet!
That was Su Yuan's first impression.
"How strange... what exactly happened?"
He carefully concealed himself, left the grand hall, and swept his divine sense outward. He only saw an empty outpost.
There was a pill furnace still burning, a Supreme Treasure set suspended mid-air, half-eaten food left behind - but not a single person in sight.
"This scene is too familiar. How similar it is to when the Scavengers ended the world back in Taihao Chaos! It's as if the entire sect's people were instantly erased!"
Su Yuan sucked in a cold breath, staring at the empty outpost. Shock and awe surged within him, followed by a burst of wild joy.
"The people are dead, but the treasures remain! Doesn't this mean I'm about to get rich?"
Su Yuan's heart pounded wildly. He felt there had to be some trick to this. If he acted without understanding the situation, there might be unknown dangers.
But he possessed [Duty in Peril]. If real danger arose, he could withdraw in advance.
With that thought, he no longer hesitated. Immediately, he manifested countless avatars and began looting the entire Nothingness Prison territory.
One grand hall after another was directly moved by Su Yuan. He didn't need to check the treasures inside - he simply took the entire halls.
Hall after hall rose into the air, then vanished instantly.
The Nothingness Prison headquarters, originally filled with countless buildings, was emptied in a very short time!
Su Yuan descended upon the Nothingness Prison's treasury.
Through [World Traveler], he passed directly through the treasury's defenses and entered its interior.
A vast sea of treasures met his eyes, and Su Yuan was utterly stunned.
He saw a mountain of piled-up crystal stones.
He picked up the topmost crystal and examined it.
[Item]: Dominator Origin Crystal
[Grade]: 80-rank
[Size]: One universe
[Value]: 15 mixed-void units (personal appraisal)
Crystals like this numbered in the hundreds of billions, already piled into a mountain.
And this was only the most ordinary treasure in the treasury. The items within were even more diverse, making Su Yuan, who had just come into a fortune, realize his poverty once again.
But that didn't matter - all of this was now his!
Su Yuan waved his hand, and the entire vast treasury shrank down, becoming Su Yuan's property and entering his pocket.
Su Yuan didn't have time to examine things carefully. He didn't even need to open the treasuries - he just took the whole thing.
The entire outpost was filled with many arrays.
But without anyone controlling them, Su Yuan, possessing numerous traits, could ignore these arrays.
For instance, the [Life Dominator] trait could birth life within arrays, and as the creator of that array life, entering the array was effortless!
Some treasuries were actually Dominator Artifacts themselves. With his [Dominator of Artifacts] identity, Su Yuan could easily move these Dominator Artifacts too.
During his relocation process, Su Yuan noticed that the sect's overall arrays were still claimed. That meant the powerful Prison Master hadn't met with an accident. So his entire looting process probably hadn't triggered the alarm system.
He was merely silently sweeping away all the treasuries without anyone noticing.
In fact, Wu Tianxiang had already detected a thief in the outpost. But with more important treasures right in front of him, he couldn't spare the attention for the outpost for now. Besides, once he came out, anyone would have to cough up what they'd taken anyway - no need to worry too much.
After emptying the Nothingness Prison, Su Yuan immediately thought of the other two major factions and quietly slipped in.
He found that these two factions were also in a state of "people gone but buildings not empty."
What more was there to say?
Su Yuan immediately hurried to move the treasures.
The entire process was filled with tension and excitement, afraid that some powerhouse might suddenly appear to block his escape.
Yet, when he had truly emptied all three factions' holdings, no one had come to find him yet.
Su Yuan was truly rich this time!
