King of Creation Chapter 2246 - 2231: Ironblooded Transformation
Previously on King of Creation...
Golden Moon World.
Ye Zhen, who had just activated the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl and directly teleported to the Golden Moon World, felt a bit weak all over.
This kind of cross-world teleportation could instantly consume over eighty percent of the spiritual power inside Ye Zhen and the Little Demon.
This feeling of weakness made Ye Zhen feel extremely insecure.
To be cautious, Ye Zhen did not start plundering immediately but first put away the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl and returned to the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space.
It’s not a big deal to wait for an hour.
As long as he recovered the depletion inside, Ye Zhen would have enough confidence.
With the help of the hundredfold temporal space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, in less than an hour, the cultivation that Ye Zhen had just consumed had already fully recovered.
As the light flickered, teams of Blood Skull Army warriors, elite soldiers of the Yidongqing Guardian Army, and two hundred Ascetic Priests, one hundred Profound Yin Nine Tribulations Sword Attendants, and one hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals and Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters with cultivation ranging from the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm to the Early Stage of Realm King Realm flowed out.
"This time, the plundering of the Golden Moon World will last for three months!"
"The plundering mode is the same as last time, divided into plundering troops and transport troops, each with its own duties, transporting the plundered materials to designated locations."
"However, the plundering target will be different this time, listen to me!" Ye Zhen said.
"Grand Marshal, please give your order!"
The three Corps Leaders, Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu, bowed simultaneously.
In the Blood Skull Army, more and more Demon Souls had reached the Peak of Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm, but none of them, including Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu, had broken through to the Dao Realm.
This made Ye Zhen feel a bit helpless. Perhaps these Demon Souls needed some special methods to break through to the Dao Realm, which could only be figured out slowly later.
"The types and grades of plundering materials remain unchanged, unlike last time, but this time, we will focus our plundering target on the population."
"Last time, we only captured the Demons in the Dao Entrance Realm, but this time, we prioritize capturing Demons with cultivation at the Establishment Realm and above.
If we encounter main battle demons at the Vein Forging Realm, such as Bull Demons, Moon Demons, Iron-armored Demons, etc., we can also capture them and bring them back."
"Moreover, this time there is no limit to the number of population captives!"
The moment the words "no limit" came out of Ye Zhen’s mouth, it signified that the just-stabilized Golden Moon World after three years would once again experience a calamity.
Indeed, the person Ye Zhen mentioned as being unfortunate was the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue.
Ye Zhen’s previous target options were all very risky, and it wasn’t even certain if he could acquire enough wealth to pay off debts.
In fact, the wealth Ye Zhen managed to gather would not be enough to repay his debts, as he still needed a substantial amount of wealth to purchase cultivation resources.
Undoubtedly, the Golden Moon World perfectly matched Ye Zhen’s goals.
First of all, since the Golden Moon World was the private property of the Fifth Crown Prince, the experts stationed were limited, and the true elite forces under the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue, were currently concentrated on the front lines of the Human Demon Battlefield.
The risk was very low.
Moreover, the wealth of the Golden Moon World lay in the Golden Moon World itself, and once invaded, Ye Zhen would definitely be able to plunder wealth.
Unlike the other targets he considered before, which might end up being a waste of effort for Ye Zhen.
In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Ye Zhen chose to plunder the Golden Moon World again, as the income is guaranteed!
Although three years ago, Ye Zhen already plundered the Golden Moon World once.
In three years, it is difficult for the Golden Moon World to accumulate vast wealth.
However, for Ye Zhen, the greatest wealth of the Golden Moon World is not those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Spirit Stones!
It is the Demons!
Every captured Demon here can be transported to the Five Immortals Island and sold as slaves, quickly converting into enormous wealth.
The Primordial Continent is vast and scarcely populated, with countless resources, but many places lack manpower.
So, slaves are always in high demand, especially powerful Demons who can fight a hundred battles single-handedly and are always in great demand!
It is believed that as long as he captures enough slaves, Ye Zhen can exchange them for a sufficient amount of wealth.
In this case, the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue, has no choice but to be unfortunate once again.
Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu happily accepted Ye Zhen’s order.
However, the Deputy Legion Commander of the Yidongqing Guardian Army, Zhang Yide, spoke up, "Honorable Divine Envoy, for the Human Clan of the Golden Moon World, should we still execute the strategy from the last plunder?
Kill those who resist? Spare those who do not resist?" Zhang Yide asked for instructions.
This time, Ye Zhen did not answer immediately but started pondering.
After a few breaths, Ye Zhen’s brows furrowed, and he decisively said, "No!"
"This time, for all the Human Clan members encountered, capture them all. Those who resist, capture them and send them to Le’an County as Sin Slaves.
Those who do not resist can be brought along with their families to Le’an County, demoted to military households, granted land, and subjected to military governance," Ye Zhen said.
"Yes!"
The same order was given by Ye Zhen to the Blood Skull Army.
Reflecting on the previous order to spare the Human Clan of the Golden Moon World due to them being the same Human Clan, Ye Zhen realized it was somewhat feminine and compassionate.
Leaving the Human Clan bloodline here, would it allow them to continue producing wealth for the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue, and contribute to all living beings’ will power?
In normal circumstances, these Human Clan members are actually enemies as well, and Ye Zhen’s greatest mercy is not exterminating them.
Taking these people back, Ye Zhen wouldn’t sell them as slaves.
Just as well, Ye Zhen’s newly acquired territories in Le’an County have vast wastelands and lack people, so they can be settled there.
If obedient, they can let their descendants receive education and conversion strategies, and after decades, their descendants will become genuine citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If disobedient and unruly, Ye Zhen’s blade has always been sharp.
In no time, more than thirty thousand people split into hundreds of small teams and dispersed in all directions.
However, the two hundred Ascetic Priests, one hundred Sword Formation Attendants, and one hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals and Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters of various cultivation levels, along with fourteen Yidongqing Divine Tree Army members in the Dao Realm, all stayed by Ye Zhen’s side.
With years of arduous cultivation in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space and Ye Zhen’s continuous investment of massive cultivation resources, the two hundred Ascetic Priests and one hundred Sword Formation Attendants Ye Zhen selected from the True Profound Continent had all broken through to the Realm King Realm.
Their cultivation ranged from the First Stage to the Fifth Stage of Realm King Realm, mostly concentrated in the Third and Fourth Stage of Realm King Realm.
It can be said they are already at the point of being used.
This includes those Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters and Divine Generals, all cultivated in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space.
These one hundred people were Ye Zhen’s carefully selected direct lineage of Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, all controlled with the Soul-locking Technique on their Divine Souls, allowing them to cultivate in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space without worry.
However, the cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters are somewhat unique, and their cultivation progress is quite slow, so only a few of them have broken through to the Realm King Realm.
Nonetheless, whether they are Ascetic Priests or Sword Formation Attendants, or these one hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, even though their cultivation has reached the late-stage Dark Palace Realm or even the Realm King Realm.
In Ye Zhen’s view, they are all novices.
All without any actual combat experience.
Although there were practice duels within the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space, there was no real combat experience.
Ye Zhen even doubted if a Fourth or Fifth Stage Ascetic Priest of the Realm King Realm could defeat a normal Ninth Stage Priest of the Dark Palace Realm if put outside.
Therefore, Ye Zhen’s mission to the Golden Moon World this time is not solely about plundering.
He also wants the Golden Moon World to become a training ground for the Ascetic Priests he meticulously nurtured, the Profound Yin Nine Tribulations Sword Formation Attendants, and his direct lineage Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters.
Within three months, they must see blood and quickly complete their transformation through actual combat!
Transform from novices into blooded elites!
However, these people are valuable, aside from the Sword Attendants led by Senior Sister Liao Feibai personally, the other two teams were each assigned a Dao Realm and ten Realm King Realm Yidongqing Guardian Army warriors for protection.
Injuries or even serious injuries are acceptable, but they must not be allowed to fall.
In the blink of an eye, these three groups of forces dispersed in all directions, leaving twelve individuals in the Dao Realm by Ye Zhen’s side.
These twelve Dao Realm members also have important assignments from Ye Zhen!
