Chapter 126: Target, Energy Point! (Second Update)

  In the real world.

  At this time, Yi Chi was in his own divine kingdom, when he suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful beam of blood-red light shot out, as if it would pierce through space.

  "Hmmph!"

  He cast a cold glance around his surroundings, and Yi Chi let out a cold hum before speaking: "Yi Tang, thank you."

  In the exchange space, Yi Tang glanced at Yi Chi in the God Realm through the screen and smiled: "No need to be polite, who are we to each other!"

  "Hehe." The corner of his mouth twitched upwards, and Yi Chi didn't say anything more. With a single stroke of his hand, he opened the entrance to the Divine Realm.

  Turning back to glance at the distant villa, Yi Chi turned and walked out of the Divine Realm, leaving behind only a final sigh in space.

  ......

  It was still that small forest, and Yi Chi suddenly appeared in the same place.

  Shaking his head, Yi Chi said in a low voice: "It seems that after arriving at the Magic Beast Forest, I'll have to let that girl out."

  Yi Chi was naturally referring to Li Yu who was trapped in his divine realm.

  At this time, he has thoroughly integrated into this world, and his mind has undergone a great change. His way of thinking is naturally different from before. In the past, he didn't want to face emotions, even with regards to Qiu Xue, it was all vague and unclear what he was doing. Now, however, he feels that if he wants something, he must go get it. If he really can't get it, then he'll destroy it, absolutely not allowing others to have it cheaply.

  Li Ge this little girl, Yi Chi really likes her, and naturally wants to get her. Yi Chi also believes in his own strength, it's impossible not to get her, right? So he doesn't plan on keeping her locked up anymore, just wait until their relationship is confirmed, then settle her down in the Divine Country. This time, in the Magic Beast Forest trip, Yi Chi plans to properly upgrade the Divine Country's space. The current Divine Country really is a bit of an embarrassment to the name "Divine Country", that space is truly too small.

  Of course, it's very difficult to improve the space of Shenguo. If left to grow on its own, even after tens of thousands of years, Yichi can only increase it to several hundred thousand square kilometers. And if you want to artificially enhance it, according to the methods of this world, it would require countless precious materials. But Yichi doesn't have that much trouble, he just needs energy points, and of course, that number is also huge.

  However, he's not in a hurry to improve his strength, and he still has to enter that deadly Divine Warrior Ruins in a year, so there's no need to raise it too high. A 9-star Divine Warrior is enough, this degree of improvement won't cost much energy points. Now what he needs to use are various skills and equipment, such as his own sword, which must be improved properly. If possible, Yi Chi wants to temper it a bit, like adding +1 or +2.

  Then, with so many plans in mind, Yi Chi took out that magnificent carriage again and sped towards the distance. This time, there was no one to intercept him halfway, nor did he need to stop for a moment. Yi Chi directly rushed towards the Demon Beast Forest.

  ......

  It is well known that the Beast Forest is a very dangerous place, not only with terrifying beasts of all kinds, but also with various deadly plants that are hard to defend against. In addition, there are poisonous insects and weeds, and all kinds of toxic substances live in the Beast Forest.

  After the predecessors paid a great price, they finally collected tens of thousands of poisonous insect data and millions of poisonous plant data. These are basically unbuyable intelligence in other cities, which is the last line of defense near the Beast Forest, Tianluo Empire's Sky Lock Fortress.

  A giant fortress known as standing for ten thousand years without falling.

  The Tian Lock Fortress is located between the ring mountains, stretching over 3,000 kilometers in length and only a few hundred kilometers in width. It is a military fortress with an imperial army of millions inside, and the Imperial Second Magic Corps is stationed here year-round to guard the empire's peace.

  This fortress, on average, needs to be renovated once every ten years, reinforcing the walls, repairing various defensive weapons, and so on. Each time, a large amount of imperial funds are spent. As a result, this fortress was also named 'Dragon Fortress'. Firstly, it indicates that the fortress has a high level of defense. Secondly, it indicates that the fortress consumes a huge amount of resources. It is well-known that dragons love shiny objects like gold coins. This fortress consumes exactly these things.

  ......

  When Yi Chi first saw the massive fortress walls, he was shocked.

  Those gigantic city walls that are hundreds of meters high, are something Yi Chi has never seen before. Even those that are only a hundred meters high are rare. I estimate that the imperial capital of that empire probably doesn't even have walls that are a hundred meters high.

  Matching the tall city wall was the gigantic city gate, which Yichi saw from afar at the bottom of the city wall. This pass looked like a ferocious beast lying down in the distance, with its huge bloody mouth wide open, frightening people.

  As they approached closer, Yi Chi finally saw the height of the city gate clearly.

  "It's probably about thirty meters high!" Yi Chi muttered, lifting his head.

  People like Yi Chi stand under the city gate, like an ant, looking so small.

  With a hint of emotion, Yi Chi walked into the massive fortress. This was also the location of the Empire's only Demon Beast Forest, with towering mountain ranges on both sides that stretched for tens of thousands of meters, treacherous and steep. Even flying demon beasts couldn't fly over these massive mountains, and even if some tried, they were eliminated by powerful warriors from all sides, rendering them useless.

  And the imperial troops stationed in this fortress, firmly secured the safety of the fortress, even if millions of demons came to attack, they could still stop their footsteps.

  Yi Chi also knew this, he knew that even if one was a famous Supreme Sovereign, they wouldn't dare to be as arrogant here as they would in other cities. Because there were countless Supreme Sovereigns here, and even super experts at the Supreme Emperor level existed, so what right did a small Supreme Sovereign like him have to be arrogant?

  Yi Chi, who knew about this situation, didn't want to stir up more trouble either. So he decided to directly pass through the fortress and head immediately to that Demon Beast Forest.

  Yi Chi couldn't help but quicken his pace as he walked forward.

  It's not that Yi Chi is afraid of trouble, it's just that he's smart and knows when to advance and retreat, when to be tough and when to be low-key. Now is the time for him to be low-key, with his abilities, he can't even mix in here.

  Among the few people who had just passed by, there wasn't a single one whose strength was below Dou Ling's. Moreover, one of them had already reached the level of Dou Zong! This was no joke! The imperial defense stronghold was where strong cultivators gathered!! Furthermore, although the Demon Beast Forest was perilous, it also contained countless treasures. Just the relics left behind by those who died miserably within the forest were enough to make some people rich beyond their wildest dreams. Not to mention the precious medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits! And even more so, many were after the demon beasts' magic cores.

  The empire itself also has a special team that is always lurking in the Beast Forest, with some responsible for investigating the movements of the beasts, others searching for various precious materials, and most mining crystal veins.

  Essentially, a small vein of magical crystal ore is enough to sustain the empire's war efforts for a year. This is the top priority; those strategic weapons, such as the magical cannon, require countless magical crystals to function. Without them, it becomes useless and has no effect at all.

  So it was no wonder that so many powerful individuals and various forces had gathered at Suo Tiancheng.

  To make a name for oneself in such a place, one must not only have extraordinary abilities but also possess immense power; without both, one can only be manipulated by others and has no other choice.

  Yi Chi didn't have the strength of a human, nor did he have a powerful force, but he also didn't want to be bullied by others. So, he simply didn't want to stay in this fortress for even one night, lest changes occur. If it weren't for having to pass through this fortress to enter the Demon Beast Forest, he really wouldn't have come here. What a troublesome place!

  ......

  Yi Chi, who was hastening his pace, did not notice that countless eyes had already gathered on him in secret. Those eyes, some were filled with contempt, some were cautious, and some revealed a sinister glow, it was clear at a glance that they were not good people.

  These people are also a major feature of the local area and are jokingly referred to as the God of Wealth.

  They specialize in doing some sneaky and despicable things, never doing good deeds. Whoever is alone or looks easy to bully, they will think of ways to take advantage of them. Some are more direct, after the opponent leaves the city, they directly rob them. Of course, sometimes they encounter some tough opponents, then their lives can only be handed over to others.

  However, even with such a risk, the number of people in this line has never decreased. The number has always been high and will not decrease no matter how many die.

  Now, Yi Chi, who looks like an easy target, has been targeted by them. Of course, there are rules in the underworld, and it's impossible for everyone to gang up on one person at the same time. So, they divided their territory and time among themselves. At this moment, it just so happens that a notorious gang from Wanjie, called "Qitian Bang", is taking action. There are over a hundred people in the gang, with varying levels of strength, ranging from Douzong to Doushi.

  Of course, they work and won't just find one target. There are many people who are targeted along with Yeechi, especially those who are unfamiliar with the Lock Tian Fortress or are visiting for the first time. Their targets are precisely this group of people.
