Chapter 495: Chapter 480: Crossing the Great Wasteland, Iron Hoof War Division!_1

In the tribal treasury that spans thousands of feet, various kinds of resources were piled up like mountains. Xiao Chen even found several spirit materials for forging spiritual weapons fallen casually among a pile of casting materials the size of a small mountain.

"These are top-grade primal stones!"

In a corner on a shelf, Xiao Chen saw ten quaint wooden boxes, each about a foot long. Upon opening them, the entire tribal treasury lit up brilliantly and the space was instantly filled with the rich vital energy of heaven and earth.

Top-grade primal stones are resources for warriors above the sixth level of the Towering Realm to cultivate. Even in a middle-grade top battle division, they are considered treasure-like existences. In these ten wooden boxes, Xiao Chen roughly estimated that there were at least a thousand pieces.

One top-grade primal stone could be exchanged for a hundred middle-grade primal stones, and one middle-grade primal stone for a hundred low-grade primal stones. These thousand top-grade primal stones alone were equivalent to a hundred thousand low-grade primal stones. However, their value far surpassed the tribute he had received from the Iron Hoof Tribe in Duanmu City.

In reality, even if someone was willing to exchange two hundred low-grade primal stones for one top-grade primal stone, it wouldn’t necessarily find a taker. The gap between top-grade and low-grade primal stones was not just quantitative, but qualitative, with a vast difference in the amount of vital energy of heaven and earth contained within.

He took it all, every single resource in the treasury, measured in square feet and piled up like a mountain, were taken by Xiao Chen into the space of the Mountain River Seal. The accumulation of three thousand years totaled up to no less than three million primal stones, and this was Xiao Chen being conservative in his estimate.

Of course, as one of the four overlords of the Giant Stone Valley, the resources gained by the Elephant Bijou Tribe over three thousand years were far more than this. However, each year’s harvest had to be used for the tribe’s development, and an accumulation of a hundred thousand low-grade primal stones per year was not easy to come by.

The demise of the Elephant Bijou Tribe was a bountiful harvest for Xiao Chen, his spoils rich enough to offset the ever-increasing consumption of the Gu Yuan Clan.

Three days later, Xiao Chen reappeared in Duanmu City, annihilated the Iron Hoof Battle Division’s manor, and demonstrated the power of the Towering Realm Wu Experts at the city gate. The news spread throughout the land by the many human warriors in and out of Duanmu City.

Six days later, the Elephant Bijou Tribe was scattered throughout the Great Wasteland and was swallowed up by other tribes. News of Xiao Chen singlehandedly sweeping through the Elephant Bijou Tribe, killing the previous Tribe Leader, a Massive Tower Realm Wu Expert, and annihilating the entire tribe sent shockwaves throughout the region, stunning various tribes!

Ten days later, in Duanmu City, the Bijou Tower of the original Elephant Bijou Tribe was renamed Treasure Gathering Pavilion. The remaining three overlord-level tribes in the Giant Stone Valley sent their congratulations, and the number of tribes coming to congratulate on the opening day reached nearly a hundred, making it a rare grand occasion in Duanmu City for hundreds of years.

While the Giant Stone Valley was buzzing, Xiao Chen had already set off towards the exit of the valley.

The base of the Giant Stone Valley in the Southern Domain of the Eastern continent is a semi-enclosed valley in the vast Luo Long Mountain Range. Although it is only a valley, it spans tens of thousands of miles and is home to tens of thousands of different creatures.

From the top of an ancient mountain, Xiao Chen overlooked the entire Desolate Wilds. Mountains spread across the landscape, dangerous lands abound, filled with desolate ancient forests. This time, Xiao Chen was heading to the center of the Border Wasteland Region, to the branch of the Human Ancestral Court in the Border Wasteland City, to register the qualifications for the Gu Yuan Battle Division to advance to a middle-grade Battle Division.

Of course, this time, Xiao Chen would also make a visit to the Iron Hoof Battle Division along the way. He was just not sure whether the Ten-Thousand Men Leader of the Iron Hoof Tribe, Tie Mo, would be willing to meet him.

Spreading out the beast skin map in his hands, Xiao Chen identified the surrounding topography one by one. Thankfully, the map he purchased from the Four corners of the Pavilion was reliable. It was made within the last hundred years, so the topography hadn’t changed much.

After all, there are too many forces in the Desolate Wilds capable of moving mountains and filling seas. Perhaps the very next moment, seaside will have become mulberry fields, mountains will have collapsed, and the rivers will have reversed course.

With the Sky Horse serving as his mount, Xiao Chen’s speed was incomparably fast. Without intentionally rushing his journey, in just five days, Xiao Chen was less than ten thousand miles away from the exit of the Giant Stone Valley.

The closer he got to the exit of the Giant Stone Valley, the denser the tribes became and the stronger their power. These tribes could trade with tribes from the outside world, so the resources and variety they obtained far exceeded those of the human war tribes inside the valley.

A few tens of thousands of miles from the exit of the Giant Stone Valley.

A blue stone city that resembled a wild beast lay between heaven and earth. The blue giant stones glowed with faint starlight under the sun, clearly visible even from miles away.

Within the giant city, stone houses abound, and pavilions stretched endlessly. There were even several ancient mountains linked together in the center of the city. On the mountains, there were giant stone halls suspended in midair.

At high noon, burly men, either alone or in groups, were constantly coming in and out of the city gate.

This city was the tribal land of the medium-grade Iron Hoof Battle Division, the Iron Hoof City!

One of the few large cities in the Border Wasteland Region!

The city covers an area of hundreds of miles and accommodates nearly two million people. As the center of the desolate land spanning tens of thousands of miles, this city could be described as extraordinarily prosperous.

Another day passed, and the figure of Xiao Chen appeared atop an ancient mountain tens of miles away, his gaze distant, looking at the enormous stone city on the far-off land.

In his eyes, a majestic force of heaven and earth converged within the giant ancient city as the white fog rose, crystallizing into the purest vital energy of heaven and earth.

A gigantic pillar of purple Qi soared into the sky vault. This was the force of destiny of the Iron Hoof Battle Division, which embodied the entire tribe’s momentum. However, in Xiao Chen’s eyes, the purple Qi pillar of the Iron Hoof Battle Division was hundreds of times inferior compared to that of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

This is merely the luck of the air for an average battle division, yet with such luck, the Iron Hoof Battle Division intimidates tens of thousand miles of wilderness.

Inside the Iron Hoof Tribe city.

Within the Iron Hoof Palace on the peak of the ancient mountain, the grand Iron Hoof Palace is the dwelling place of the Iron Hoof Tribe’s leader.

At this moment, there were two figures inside the Iron Hoof Palace. One was dressed in a purple robe, emanating an incomparable air of dominance. It was Qin Peiyong, the leader of the Iron Hoof Tribe, who had manifested his destiny with the help of luck in the Giant Stone Valley months ago. The other figure was Qin Guang, the Grand Elder of the Iron Hoof Tribe, who was also a mighty warrior of the Towering Realm.

These past few years have been plagued with disasters for the Iron Hoof War. Initially, when Iron Hoof Tribe Leader Qin Peiyong broke into the Towering Realm, these were prosperous times for the tribe. However, the Blood Race Void Path that the tribe had been suppressing consecutively presented crises.

Not only that, half of the tribe’s four Supreme Elders were lost, and Qin Peiyong was severely injured. After a year of recuperation, he finally recovered to his original realm.

The Blood Race Void Path, which was sealed at a high cost, has once again undergone changes, forcing the various tribes under the tribe’s jurisdiction to send War Masters to the Blood Race Void Path to maintain control.

"These past few days, I’ve felt somewhat disturbed as if something is about to happen!" Qin Peiyong, the Iron Hoof Tribe Leader, ventured.

He couldn’t figure it out himself, which is why he called the Grand Elder to deliberate together.

"Could there be changes in the Blood Race Void Path?"

After hearing his Clan Leader’s words, the Grand Elder of the Iron Hoof Tribe, Qin Guang’s complexion changed. The more formidable the warrior, the stronger their intuition is towards upcoming events; this was precisely the case. Their Clan Leader had a premonition that something significant was about to happen; apart from the Blood Race Void Path that the tribe was defending, Qin Guang couldn’t think of anything else that would make the Clan Leader so worried.

"It’s not the Blood Race Void Path. If there were changes in the Void Path, the tribe’s air luck would be eroded by darkness, and I as Clan Leader would be the first to know!"

"Then what is it!"

"This should be coming from within our Human Tribe. I haven’t felt this kind of intuition for a long time. Moreover, this feeling has become increasingly strong. Even when I communicate with the tribe’s destiny pillar, I can’t figure out the reason. But I have a feeling that this event will happen before long!"

After hearing his Clan Leader’s words, Qin Guang breathed a sigh of relief that this intuition did not come from the Blood Race Void Path. It was easier to handle conflicts within the Human Tribe - but matters concerning the Blood Race could potentially wipe out the Iron Hoof Tribe entirely, thus he couldn’t afford not to be cautious.

At a distance of several tens of kilometers, Xiao Chen stood at the peak of the mountain, feeling the dense vital energy of Iron Hoof City. This tribe, which has existed for at least five thousand years, has amassed a terrifying accumulation over the thousands of years despite suppressing the Blood Race Void Path.

When it comes to the fortune of the air, the Gu Yuan Clan carries the high-grade battle division’s air fortune; the snake fortune of the air. The Iron Hoof War Division merely has the typical mid-grade clan air fortune. Although the Gu Yuan Clan isn’t on par with the Iron Hoof War Division at the moment, their prosperous air fortune will gradually level and even surpass this gap. This requires the accumulation of time, which is exactly what the Gu Yuan currently lacks.

Boom!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen no longer hid his figure, stepping on the void and rushing towards the colossal city in the distance. The Sky Horse entered the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest to hunt.

"Who dares to act recklessly in Iron Hoof City!"

Xiao Chen did not hide his figure and blatantly flew in the air. People in Iron Hoof City had discovered him from afar. Iron Hoof City, the territory of a mid-grade tribe, witnessed warriors showing reverence from ten miles away and walking on the earth in the past.

Above the green city, the sounds of rumbling echoed as countless War Soldiers stand ready. The tense sounds of countless bronze giant crossbows could be heard. Glinting steel crossbow arrows pointed at Xiao Chen in the sky.

"Who are you to dare to be so reckless? Surrender immediately and kneel down to plead for leniency!"

Standing atop the city, a Ten-Thousand-Men Leader dressed in black battle armor pointed at Xiao Chen with his war saber and shouted loudly.

Countless warriors from various regions had gathered in Iron Hoof City. At this moment, everyone was looking up at the sky, wanting to see who exactly Xiao Chen was and what gave him the audacity to disregard the rules of Iron Hoof City.

Xiao Chen suddenly stopped 300 meters away from the city, surveyed his surroundings, and saw numerous ready Iron Hoof War Soldiers seemingly intending to capture him.

"Old friend visits, why doesn’t the Iron Hoof Tribe Leader come out to meet me!"

"Old friend visits, why doesn’t the Iron Hoof Tribe Leader come out to meet me!"

Suddenly, thunderclaps rolled, deafening to the ears!
