Finally, he saw a mountain valley.
The valley itself was unremarkable.
A small stream flowed gently within.
There was nothing extraordinary to be seen.
It was hard to imagine that beneath the valley lay a Void Divine Stone ore vein.
Upon entering the valley, Lu Changsheng stopped.
He looked around but found no trace of the Holy Beast Flood Dragon.
"Perhaps it has temporarily left."
What Lu Changsheng wanted to confirm now was whether or not there truly was a Void Divine Stone ore vein beneath the valley.
This was the most critical matter!
Lu Changsheng didn’t want to draw too much attention.
The goal was simple—he only needed to verify if the Void Divine Stone ore vein existed.
With that thought, Lu Changsheng activated his mind.
He slowly expanded his Perception Domain, blanketing the valley.
Then, he extended it underground.
The Perception Domain couldn’t penetrate too deeply into the earth.
If it went too deep, sensing would become impossible.
However, to identify a Void Divine Stone ore vein, Lu Changsheng’s Perception Domain was sufficient.
A moment later, Lu Changsheng’s heart stirred.
He sensed the presence of a large quantity of Void Divine Stones beneath the valley.
This was certainly the location of the Void Divine Stone ore vein.
"According to Zhang Shu, this Void Divine Stone ore vein is still in the process of formation. It’s highly possible that the Void Divine Crystals haven’t been completely consumed yet."
"Looks like I need to hurry. The more time wasted, the more Void Divine Crystals will be absorbed by the ore vein."
"Unfortunately, it’s impossible to locate the Void Divine Crystals silently. Divine powers will have to be used!"
"Once divine powers are unleashed, it might alarm many Spirit Beasts—especially the Holy Beast Flood Dragon!"
Lu Changsheng was well aware of the consequences he might face.
If he wanted to obtain the Void Divine Crystals, he would likely have to confront the Holy Beast Flood Dragon.
But how could he resign himself not to try?
The next moment, Lu Changsheng rose into the air.
Looking down at the valley below, he focused his thoughts.
"Divine Skill: Five Elements Decomposition!"
As Lu Changsheng unleashed the Five Elements Decomposition Divine Power,
The earth began to quake.
A terrifying aura surged outward like a tidal wave, sweeping in all directions.
The Five Elements Decomposition Divine Power possessed earth-shattering might.
Especially since Lu Changsheng was actively "mining" at the moment.
But under the destructive force of Lu Changsheng’s Five Elements Decomposition Divine Power, the valley quickly "collapsed."
It was as if a massive sunken abyss had formed.
Lu Changsheng, however, was unconcerned about damaging the Void Divine Crystals.
The Void Divine Crystals and Void Divine Stones did not fall within the realm of the Five Elements.
For example, right now, as the Five Elements Decomposition Divine Power was unleashed, the ground collapsed instantly, disintegrated by the divine power.
Numerous Void Divine Stones were exposed before Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
Lu Changsheng did not hesitate.
Void Divine Stones were incredibly valuable and could be sold at any time.
Even if he couldn’t find Void Divine Crystals, these Void Divine Stones would still yield a considerable fortune.
Thus, Lu Changsheng continuously collected the Void Divine Stones into his Space Treasure.
Within his Space Treasure, the number of Void Divine Stones kept growing.
Yet, the Void Divine Crystals remained elusive.
Lu Changsheng knew that finding the Void Divine Crystals depended entirely on luck.
He could only hope his luck would hold, allowing him to locate the Void Divine Crystals quickly.
However, the immense commotion caused by unleashing Infinite Divine Power immediately alerted nearby Spirit Beasts.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
Soon, the angry roars of Spirit Beasts echoed from all directions.
Lu Changsheng subtly sensed and picked up the presence of five or six Spirit Beasts heading for the valley.
Moreover, these five or six Spirit Beasts emitted terrifying auras.
It was likely that each of them could rival a Martial Venerable!
Clearly, any Spirit Beast capable of occupying territory deep within the Cloud Map Mountain Range would be no ordinary creature.
They must possess unparalleled strength and carry formidable bloodlines.
As the Spirit Beasts approached within a hundred paces of Lu Changsheng,
Lu Changsheng didn’t bother to engage in conversation.
A massive Spiritual Black Hole materialized instantly.
Simultaneously, the bodies of the five or six Spirit Beasts violently trembled.
Their eyes revealed unmistakable traces of fear.
Soon, their spiritual consciousness was annihilated in an instant.
The bodies of the five or six Spirit Beasts dropped heavily to the ground.
Their vitality was completely extinguished—they were evidently dead.
With a mere wave of his hand, Lu Changsheng eradicated five or six Spirit Beasts that could match Martial Venerables.
To Lu Changsheng, dealing with Martial Venerables was effortless.
It was akin to slaughtering chickens and dogs—easy as flipping a hand!
This was no exaggeration.
The corpses of the Spirit Beasts were undeniable proof.
And this happened while Lu Changsheng was using the Five Elements Decomposition Divine Power for "mining." This text is hosted at novel{f}ire.net
Initially, more Spirit Beasts were rushing toward him.
But upon seeing the fate of their predecessors,
Those Spirit Beasts immediately halted in their tracks.
Being Spirit Beasts comparable to Martial Venerables, their intelligence was naturally high.
They clearly realized that the martial artist before them was no one to trifle with.
Yet, they didn’t dare retreat entirely.
Instead, they began circling nearby, encircling Lu Changsheng.
They seemed to be waiting for something.
"Are they waiting for the Holy Beast Flood Dragon?"
Lu Changsheng instantly discerned the intentions of the Spirit Beasts.
These Spirit Beasts around the valley were all under the command of the Holy Beast Flood Dragon.
"The Holy Beast Flood Dragon truly has temporarily left the valley. Luck is on my side, but I must hurry..."
Lu Changsheng felt slightly relieved.
The Spirit Beasts surrounding him but refraining from attacking proved that the Flood Dragon wasn’t nearby.
Luck seemed to favor him.
At least he could proceed with "mining" for a while without interference.
Thus, Lu Changsheng committed himself wholly to "mining."
He even unleashed the Five Elements Decomposition Divine Power several times.
He didn’t shy away from using the Five Elements Decomposition Divine Arts as well.
