Chapter 456: Borrowing Your Earth Spirit, You'd Better Protect It For Me!

Chen Yi pointed at the massive army behind Furry Divine, as well as the group of Sky City higher-ups.

"Are you sure you want me to say it?"

"Of course!"

"In front of all these people?"

"No matter who's here, you have to say it! Otherwise, you're an invader, and I'll make you taste the wrath of the Winged Clan!"

"I feel like it's not appropriate to say it in public. How about you and the Guardian come over here, and we talk privately?"

Furry Divine let out a cold snort, full of majesty.

"Nonsense! Where are the warriors of Sky City!"

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Winged Clan cultivators roared in unison, their voices deafening, like crashing waves and collapsing mountains.

"Hail to the great Furry Divine!"

Furry Divine drew a golden longsword from his waist and pointed it at Chen Yi.

"Thrust your righteous spears at the invader!"

With Furry Divine's command, the Winged Clan cultivator army charged at Chen Yi.

Sotuofeiren, bound to one end of the Immortal-Binding Rope, shouted urgently.

"Your Holiness Furry Divine! I'm Sotuofeiren, the City Lord of Alba! Please have him release me before you attack!"

Furry Divine heard his cry and pointed the golden sword, symbol of power and status, at him.

"He's the one who brought the invader here. Prioritize killing him!"

Sotuofeiren froze on the spot, then turned to Chen Yi and shouted.

"Senior! You can't just abandon me!"

Chen Yi looked at him with a smile, his gaze filled with benevolence.

"City Lord Suo, don't worry. I will definitely stand with you through thick and thin!"

For some reason, an ominous premonition surged in Sotuofeiren's heart.

Then, he once again transformed into a meteor hammer, swung by Chen Yi from east to west, from south to north.

The Winged Clan army rushed forward like bowling pins, getting smashed left and right by Chen Yi's hammer blows, falling from midair into Sky City like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

They smashed straight through those holy, radiant castles, shattering them into ruins, dust and smoke rising everywhere.

Chen Yi protected Sotuofeiren very well. No matter how he smashed him around, he wouldn't die.

He wouldn't die, sure, but the pain was another matter entirely.

Chen Yi also controlled his strength very well. The Winged Clan cultivators being smashed didn't die either.

Chen Yi wasn't being merciful to the Winged Clan out of kindness. He just left some leeway to facilitate the subsequent negotiations, to avoid reaching a deadlock where he couldn't carry out his plans.

Seeing that the army's assault was completely ineffective, the Winged Clan's Martial God-rank powerhouses also made their move.

With Chen Yi suppressing his output, dealing with them was indeed somewhat harder, especially in such a chaotic situation.

But the attacks of these Martial Gods had no effect on Chen Yi whatsoever.

His body was battered with clanging sounds, yet he didn't suffer a single scratch. Even his clothes remained perfectly intact, protected by a layer of divine power.

After busying themselves for a while, the group of powerhouses retreated, gasping for breath, and said to Furry Divine.

"Great Furry Divine, it seems we can't hurt him even a tiny bit."

The Winged Clan's Guardian was an old man, leaning on a staff embedded with colorful gems.

"Please remove the word 'seems.'"

Furry Divine's brows knitted tightly.

If he still couldn't tell that Chen Yi was on a completely different level from them, then he would be an utter fool.

"The other party hasn't gone for the kill. It seems he still wants to negotiate with us."

The Guardian nodded.

"Your Holiness, why not listen to what he has to say first."

Furry Divine was at his wit's end as well.

The warriors of Sky City were all elites carefully selected from every corner of the Winged Realm.

They represented the highest mountain of the Winged Clan and their proudest honor.

Now, a single human was using one of their own clansmen as a meteor hammer, smashing them with zero ability to fight back.

If the other party hadn't been unwilling to kill, corpses would already be piled up like mountains by now.

"Warriors of Sky City! You may retreat! The other party has decided to surrender and negotiate compensation matters with me!"

Chen Yi didn't expose him.

Face, after all, was something you gave each other.

The warriors of Sky City weren't stupid either. They knew exactly what was going on.

But when a way out was offered, you'd better take it, or else you'd better not complain when your leader gives you a hard time later.

So, these Winged Clan cultivators, beaten black and blue, some even missing arms and legs, stopped their attack and cheered in unison.

"Victory belongs to the Winged Clan! The invader shall be judged! Hail to the great Furry Divine!"

Chen Yi gave his assessment.

"A bunch of idiots."

A moment later.

In the majestic Main God Hall of Sky City, Chen Yi sat upon the guest's throne.

In this hall, there were only him, Furry Divine, and the Winged Clan's Guardian.

"Speak, human. What exactly do you want to say to us? Why was it inconvenient to say it in public?"

Chen Yi stated his purpose directly, without any beating around the bush.

"I'm the Guardian of the human world. There's a bit of a problem with our Five Element Root Vessels. I want to borrow your Earth Spirit to help nurture them."

Chen Yi could directly lure the Earth Spirit and then place the Five Element Root Vessels inside to nurture them.

That was Hua Wuyan's suggestion.

But Hua Wuyan hadn't thought it through completely.

The Guardian and the Earth Spirit were strongly linked.

The Earth Spirit could be fooled, but how could the Guardian be fooled?

Of course, one could just kill the Guardian, but then the plane would naturally produce the next Guardian, and that would take a very long time.

However, Chen Yi didn't just want to hide the Sun Moon Tower in the Winged Realm. He also wanted the Winged Realm's people to protect the Sun Moon Tower.

Yes, consuming their Earth Spirit, and still wanting the human world to provide protection.

So, killing was out of the question. If they were pushed to the brink, there was no way they'd agree to Chen Yi's conditions.

Even though Chen Yi had already been this kind, the moment those words came out, both Furry Divine and the Guardian immediately became angry.

"You want to use our Earth Spirit to nurture your damaged Five Element Root Vessels? Don't you know this will consume the Earth Spirit's spirituality, affecting our clan's cultivation and the reproduction of all living beings in the entire Winged Realm!"

Information about the Earth Spirit might not be known to ordinary people, but the Guardian and the co-ruler of a realm absolutely couldn't be unaware of it.

Chen Yi said with a smile.

"The impact, well, there is a little. But honestly, I won't leave the Five Element Root Vessels here for too long, so I think this impact is acceptable."

The Guardian slammed his staff hard on the ground and said decisively.

"I don't accept it!"

Furry Divine also stood up, speaking with righteous indignation.

"For the sake of all living beings in the Winged Realm, I cannot possibly accept this either!"

Chen Yi's expression turned cold.

"You should be well aware that I didn't have to waste my breath talking to you at all..."

Chen Yi released a trace of killing intent and gently circulated the divine power within him to mobilize a Divine Art.

In an instant, space began to crack slowly from where Chen Yi's body was, like shattered glass, continuously collapsing and spreading outward in all directions.

"Crack... crack..."

The sound of space shattering made the Winged Clan's Guardian and Furry Divine's scalps go numb.

The two immediately realized this wasn't the usual kind of thing they'd seen before, where space got damaged because a cultivation technique's destructive power was too strong. Chen Yi hadn't even made a move.

This was because his power exceeded the upper limit of the world, causing the world itself to be unable to bear it and collapse!

"You..."

The two were so shocked they lost the ability to speak, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing that Chen Yi showed no sign of stopping.

The Winged Clan's Guardian immediately said.

"Please stop! I agree to your conditions. I'll let the Winged Realm's Earth Spirit repair your Five Element Root Vessels!"
