Chapter 901: Starfire Metal Vein, Starfire Metal Essence

Jiang Jiyuan departed with his sister, Jiang Jiyue.

Even on the journey back, Jiang Jiyue had yet to recover from the shock.

Moments earlier, Lin Moyu's Skeletal Divine Generals had genuinely frightened her.

He was clearly only a 1st tier Transcendent God, yet the Skeletal Divine General he summoned possessed 5th tier Transcendent God realm combat power, a difference of four major realms.

Lin Moyu's warning still echoed in her ears.

Although a 5th tier Transcendent God meant little to the Jiang Family, Lin Moyu himself filled her with fear.

Looking at his sister, Jiang Jiyuan let out a quiet sigh.

"Do you understand now? Father has always told us that there's always someone stronger."

"Don't assume that being a member of the Jiang Family makes you superior."

"In many places, the Jiang Family's name carries no weight."

Still unwilling to back down, Jiang Jiyue muttered, "I don't believe he'd actually dare kill me. With the Human Emperor Network watching, he wouldn't get away with it."

Jiang Jiyuan smiled helplessly and shook his head, "You really don't understand. The Jiang Family isn't omnipotent, nor is the Human Emperor Network."

"There are plenty of ways to kill someone while avoiding the Human Emperor Network's detection.”

"Besides, think about it. He's only a 1st tier Transcendent God, yet he possesses level 2 authority and combat power comparable to a 5th tier Transcendent God."

"Do you really think someone like him doesn't have an immensely powerful force backing him?"

Jiang Jiyue was startled, "Brother, are you saying he belongs to some great family as well?"

Jiang Jiyuan chuckled, "Powerful forces aren't limited to families. Ours is merely a God King family. Even if our entire family joined forces, we couldn't stand against a single God Sovereign."

"And even a God Sovereign might not be capable of nurturing someone like him."

A God Sovereign had no need for a family. Such an existence could erase the Jiang Family with a single thought.

But could even a God Sovereign cultivate someone as extraordinary as Lin Moyu?

Jiang Jiyuan wasn't so sure.

Jiang Jiyue's gaze flickered before she quietly lowered her head, "I understand. I'll be more careful with my words from now on."

Jiang Jiyuan gently patted her head, his voice filled with brotherly affection, "Your talent surpasses mine. You'll go much farther in the future.”

"You may even have the chance to enter God City one day."

"So don't let your temper become the obstacle that holds you back."

Watching the siblings disappear into the starry sky, Lin Moyu shifted his attention back to the ground.

"He probably noticed it too." A faint smile appeared on his lips.

What he had discovered earlier was something Jiang Jiyuan had most likely noticed as well.

Yet Jiang Jiyuan neither exposed it nor mentioned it to Jiang Jiyue.

Lin Moyu silently accepted the gesture as a small favor.

He understood Jiang Jiyuan's intentions, and Jiang Jiyuan knew he would.

Flames continued to surge from the fractured ground.

The planets in this region had been scorched for ten thousand years, allowing immense heat to accumulate beneath the surface.

Now that it had erupted, it wouldn't stop anytime soon.

Towering pillars of flame soared over a hundred meters into the sky.

The blaze was especially fierce where the Starfire Metal had previously been buried.

A massive hole remained there, spewing torrents of fire.

Looking through the sea of flames, Lin Moyu caught sight of an unusual gleam.

It was the radiance of Starfire Metal.

Underground lay a considerable deposit.

There was an entire Starfire Metal vein.

Although Starfire Metal veins did exist, they were exceptionally rare.

Lin Moyu hadn't expected to discover one by sheer coincidence.

A vein could vary greatly in size.

A small vein might yield only ten thousand catties of Starfire Metal, while a large one could easily produce a hundred thousand.

If this vein truly contained one hundred thousand catties, it could be exchanged for ten thousand points.

Even if the points couldn't be used to upgrade his authority level, they would ensure he wouldn't be lacking resources anytime soon.

After all, points were the universal currency.

Both in the real world and within the Human Emperor Network, everything required points.

Naturally, the more he had, the better.

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu leaped into the fissure.

The raging flames posed no threat to him.

The fissure wasn't particularly deep. Following the path carved by the flames, he quickly reached the bottom.

It was a world of fire.

Crimson flames covered every inch of the cavern, with countless blue Starfire flames dancing among them.

The moment they sensed Lin Moyu's living aura, they surged toward him.

These blue Starfire flames burned both flesh and soul.

Blue flames appeared outside his soul world, but they were firmly blocked by its defenses.

With a peak 3rd grade soul, his soul defenses were more than sufficient to withstand their assault.

Looking through the flames, Lin Moyu spotted pieces of Starfire Metal.

Some lay scattered across the ground, while others were embedded in the surrounding rock walls.

There was no shortage of them.

With a thought, he dispatched his skeletons to collect the Starfire Metal while he continued deeper into the fissure.

"The records mention that Starfire Metal veins occasionally give birth to Starfire Metal Essence."

"Starfire Metal Essence is a True God realm material, worth more than ten times as much as ordinary Starfire Metal.”

Lin Moyu searched the entire cavern but found no trace of Starfire Metal Essence.

By then, the skeletons had finished gathering the scattered Starfire Metal.

In total, they had collected roughly ten thousand catties of Starfire Metal, enough to exchange for one thousand points.

All things considered, it was already an excellent harvest.

"It seems there isn't any. I shouldn't be too greedy."

Just as he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly stopped on several enormous claw marks carved into the rock wall.

He immediately recognized them as Starfire Beast claw marks.

Earlier, the three Starfire Beasts had emerged from underground precisely because Starfire Metal existed beneath the surface.

The claw marks suggested they had repeatedly attacked this section of the wall.

As for why… There was only one possibility.

They had been trying to break through it.

Starfire Beasts were companion beasts born alongside Starfire Metal.

More importantly, they possessed an innate ability to sense and seek out other Starfire Metal deposits.

They had no intelligence, only instinct.

Which meant there was a high chance that more Starfire Metal lay beyond this rock wall.

Lin Moyu examined it and discovered that the wall was extraordinarily tough, almost as though it had transformed into metal.

Skeletal Divine Warriors swung their axes at the wall, but the blows left no trace.

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu summoned Skeletal Divine Generals and ordered them to break it.

Gripping their massive swords, the Skeletal Divine Generals hacked into the wall again and again.

Each strike carried 5th tier Transcendent God realm combatant power. The entire underground world shook violently, and even the fragmented planet trembled beneath the relentless assault.

The Skeletal Divine Generals knew no fatigue. They continued their barrage without pause.

Gradually, cracks spread across the seemingly indestructible wall.

Then, with a tremendous quake that shook the entire planet, the wall finally collapsed.

A torrent of blazing flames burst through the opening.

The searing heat instantly drove the surrounding temperature even higher.

Passing through the inferno, Lin Moyu entered the hidden chamber beyond.

The chamber was not large, yet Starfire Metal covered nearly every inch of it. The quantity was astonishing.

Where there was Starfire Metal, there were naturally Starfire Beasts.

His arrival roused the Starfire Beasts slumbering within.

Pairs of glowing eyes opened one after another amidst the flames.

Lin Moyu paid the ordinary Starfire Beasts little attention.

Instead, his gaze locked onto a massive Starfire Beast towering among them.

It radiated the aura of a 6th tier Transcendent God, far surpassing the others.

Beside it rested a piece of Starfire Metal Essence, glowing with a brilliant blue light.

"Starfire Metal Essence..." A flicker of delight flashed through Lin Moyu's eyes.

He had finally found it.

Before the Starfire Beasts could react, the Skeletal Divine Generals surged forward like a pack of ravenous wolves.

The slaughter began instantly.

The ordinary Starfire Beasts, possessing only 3rd tier to 4th tier Transcendent God realm power, stood no chance against the Skeletal Divine Generals.

They were annihilated almost as soon as the battle began.

Once the weaker beasts had been eliminated, the Skeletal Divine Generals surrounded the 6th tier Transcendent God realm Starfire Beast.

A 6th tier Transcendent God realm opponent was certainly formidable, but far from invincible.

The chamber was cramped, and more than a thousand Skeletal Divine Generals filled every corner, leaving the 6th tier Transcendent God realm Starfire Beast nowhere to flee.

It fought back ferociously, spewing torrents of flame and swinging its massive claws. Every attack carried the law of fire.

Even a 6th tier Transcendent God realm powerhouse could only fight it to a standstill.

But against the relentless, overwhelming assault of over a thousand Skeletal Divine Generals, its fate was sealed.
