Chapter 1414 The Calamity of the Divine Vein

"Hahahaha... Is this kid crazy? Does he think there are still divine veins there? If there are so many divine veins, what are we even discussing here?" A cultivator at the Shaping Dao Realm laughed loudly, drawing agreement from the other cultivators around him.

“That’s right, I think he’s gone crazy for the divine vein. He knows we’re not easy to mess with, so he’s just trying his luck on the sidelines,” another cultivator mocked.

"But let me make this clear first, I've got my eye on his mount. None of you are allowed to take it from me later, or don't blame me for being ruthless to him," another cultivator said without any restraint.

"Damn it, these people are really going too far, boss! Should I go teach them a lesson?" Xiao Qiu's temper flared up immediately upon hearing these sarcastic remarks.

"Idiot, what are you yelling about? Getting down to business is more important." Lu Chen glared at Xiao Qiu and scolded him in a low voice, clearly annoyed.

While everyone was discussing this, Lu Chen seemed completely unconcerned. He continued to diligently control the two enormous hands formed from divine essence, digging into the soil.

With each downward swing, a mound of soil the size of a small hill was scooped up by the divine energy's giant hand and placed aside.

As time passed, Lu Chen's movements did not stop; on the contrary, he worked even harder.

"Sigh... this kid is stubborn. It seems he really thinks there's some treasure there." A cultivator shook his head, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

However, before he could finish speaking, a powerful wave suddenly emanated from the spot where Lu Chen had dug, followed by a dense aura of divine energy that rapidly spread outwards.

All the cultivators were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and their relaxed expressions instantly turned serious.

Especially when they discovered from the aura that the place Lu Chen was digging not only possessed a divine vein, but also a mid-grade divine vein, they instantly felt that the low-grade divine vein beneath their feet was no longer appealing.

"This is the aura of a mid-grade divine vein... How is this possible?" someone exclaimed, unable to believe their eyes.

It turned out that, thanks to Lu Chen's tireless efforts, he actually managed to uncover another mid-grade divine vein that was protected by a natural concealment formation, hidden even deeper and of higher quality.

"So that's how it is. No wonder he chose this place. It's all thanks to that celestial beast." Those cultivators who had mocked Lu Chen earlier now had ashen faces and were filled with regret.

Meanwhile, the others began to stir, their eyes gleaming with ill intent.

“Fellow Daoist, now that you have found a new divine vein, why don’t we share it together?” An old man in the Cultivation Realm stepped forward, a fake smile on his face. “After all, sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.”

At this moment, Lu Chen ignored all the sounds from the outside world. He felt his heart pounding and his eyes revealed an undisguised excitement.

As expected, Xiao Qiu's judgment was correct. As the soil was peeled away layer by layer by the giant palm of divine energy, three divine veins gradually appeared: two mid-grade divine veins radiating a gentle light and one dazzling high-grade divine vein.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen quickly used his divine sense to envelop the three divine veins and then sent them into the Golden Pearl World.

All of this happened in less than half a breath. Before anyone else could react, they saw Lu Chen take away the three divine veins.

This scene caused an uproar among the already restless cultivators.

They were stunned at first, then burst into exclamations and questions, their faces filled with anger and resentment.

"What? How is this possible? Those are three divine veins!" someone exclaimed in astonishment and disbelief.

“Especially that top-grade divine vein, that’s priceless! How dare he hog it all in front of us? Does he have a death wish?” another person roared, his eyes wide with rage.

"No, absolutely not! We discovered this place first, the divine veins should belong to us! Why should that kid take them away?" another person shouted indignantly.

Amidst the murmurs and discussions among the surrounding cultivators, Lu Chen could only manage a cold laugh.

He knew that in this cruel world where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, strength was everything. Without strength, death was meaningless, so he did not intend to sit idly by and wait for his death.

He immediately sent Xiao Qiu back to the Golden Pearl World, then with a wave of his arm, a large sword radiating a chilling light appeared in his hand. This sword was his natal magic weapon, named "Godslayer."

At the same time, two Saint Emperors at the Shaping Dao Realm had already teleported to a short distance from Lu Chen, forming a pincer attack.

One of them was an old man with a face full of wrinkles like cracked earth, and deep-set eyes that gleamed with a sharp light; he was clearly no good person.

The other person was a burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a face as red as a date. His eyes revealed a hint of impatience and ferocity, and his muscular arms seemed to contain boundless power.

"Boy, if you know what's good for you, hand over the divine vein you possess." The old man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse yet full of intimidation, "Otherwise, this might be your burial ground today."

“That’s right,” the burly man echoed, his tone clearly impatient. “I’ve never liked wasting my breath, but since I’ve given you a chance, don’t refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences.”

Faced with the threats from the two, Lu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids. His gaze quickly swept over the three Dao Cultivation Saint Emperors.

Although these powerful individuals did not directly advance, their eyes all revealed murderous intent towards him.

They were opponents that Lu Chen considered worthy of his attention, but right now he needed to deal with these two troublemakers first.

"Do you think the two of you can make me submit?" Lu Chen finally spoke, his voice calm as still water, yet tinged with coldness. "I advise you to think carefully about whether it's worth it to be my enemy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen's greatsword, Godslayer, suddenly let out a deep roar, as if responding to its master's determination. Starlight shone on it, emanating a chilling aura.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees suddenly, and everyone's attention was drawn to this scene. They were all curious about what abilities Lu Chen had that made him dare to speak so arrogantly.

"Hmph, it seems you won't learn until you're faced with a fatal mistake." A ruthless glint flashed in the old man's eyes. "Since that's the case, then today I'll teach you how to be a decent human being."

However, just as the two were about to make their move, Lu Chen suddenly took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked open.

He brandished his greatsword, "Godslayer," his eyes blazing, and sneered disdainfully, "Enough talk, both of you come at me together!"
