Even Chao Jimeng, who was rushing to the forefront to help, screamed, “Everyone, once the Inner Defensive Array breaks open, pick a random direction to escape. Don’t concentrate in one direction……”
A one of a kind death kneel spread out; every cultivator was now looking and preparing for any chance that presented itself to escape. In any case, all of them knew that in the face of the Explosive Golden Wasps that had surrounded the Rootless Black City like an iron cage, trying to break out of the siege had a high chance of encountering death. Everyone was waiting for that moment of those wasps breaching into the Rootless Black City. The moment it broke open, they could then potentially use that moment to escape.
……
Just when Ning Cheng rushed into the Rootless Black City, the only thing that he could see was the endless horde of Void Explosive Golden Wasps, which caused a cold shiver to run down his spine. The Void Explosive Golden Wasps had already broken through the Outer Defensive Array of the Rootless Black City; even the Inner Defensive Array seemed on the verge of collapse.
His Spiritual Consciousness swept out immediate and quickly located the anxious-looking Ji Luofei, and Yi Zhuzhu standing on the side of Ji Luofei, causing his anxiety-filled heart slowly calm down.
Ning Cheng was the one who had rearranged the Rootless Black City’s Array Formations, as such even if those Void Explosive Golden Wasps had not broken through the Array Formation, it would not impede his Spiritual Consciousness. Now that the Void Explosive Golden Wasps breached the outer Defensive Array Formations, he immediately obtained a more precise picture through his Spiritual Consciousness.
He saw a massive black warship in the middle of the Black City’s Inner Defensive Array and the Outer Defensive Array. It looked as if the Array Flags had completely wrapped covered the warship. Ning Cheng immediately knew at a glance that Wu Yingzhe was the one who arranged those Array Flags. However, with Ning Cheng’s attainments in the Array Formations, he could also make out that the Void Explosive Golden Wasps were not attacking the black warship. It was definitely not due to Wu Yingzhe’s arrangement of Array Flags. Instead, it looked as if this Void Battleship contained an Aura Concealing Array Disc, which was a lot more powerful compared to Wu Yingzhe’s Array Flags.
Since the seemingly infinite Void Explosive Golden Wasps were utterly ignoring the Black Battleship, Ning Cheng immediately understood that it definitely must not be normal.
According to Shen Zimo’s message, this battleship brought these Void Explosive Golden Wasps along. However, this warship actually contained a top-tier Aura Concealment Array Disc, while none of the Explosive Golden Wasps attacked it. Instead, all the Explosive Golden Wasps were collectively attacking the Rootless Black City, how was such a thing normal?
Ning Cheng did not pull back; instead, a red flame shot out. The Void Explosive Golden Wasps besieging the Rootless Black City immediately detected it. However, because Ning Cheng had appeared so suddenly, the sudden burst of flame directly resulted in opening up a huge gap within the dense encirclement of the Explosive Golden Wasps.
Ning Cheng took advantage of this opportunity, rushed in through the gap using his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, and soon arrived at the interiors of the Rootless Black City.
Although his Celestial River Flame was incredibly powerful, he still had to unleash his Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique to form that line of fire; however, he only managed to kill a few Explosive Golden Wasps. At least, compared to the seemingly endless Void Explosive Golden Wasps, the amount he killed was merely negligible.
[TL Note – Changing ‘Star River Flame’ to ‘Celestial River Flame’ from now.]
Only after rushing into the Rootless Black City did Ning Cheng suck in a breath of cold air. He realised that wanting to rely on his Celestial River Flame to kill off the dense cluster of Void Explosive Golden Wasps was something impossible. Just now, he had to use his Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique to force a path inside for himself. Moreover, the True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness consumption for the technique was just too high. If he continued to use this Spiritual Technique, he would not have to wait for the Void Explosive Golden Wasps to come and kill him, since he might just end up exhausting himself to death.
“The City Master is back…..”
“City Master…..”
As Ning Cheng landed in the city, it immediately attracted the attention of all people. Many people knew that Ning Cheng returning by himself might not be able to solve their current predicament; however, since Ning Cheng returned, it provided a lot of stability for the trepidation-filled hearts of the cultivators trapped within the Rootless Black City.
Ji Luofei quickly arrived at Ning Cheng’s side along with Yi Zhuzhu, while her heart also started to calm down.
“City Master, what do we do now?” Shen Zimo also rushed over.
Ning Cheng also saw other people rushing over to his side and quickly spoke up, “Don’t panic, just focus on blocking the Explosive Golden Wasps; as long as you can block them for half an hour, I have a way to solve this problem.”
Initially, the Void Explosive Golden Wasps caused the cultivators to feel a lot of pressure; however, after hearing Ning Cheng’s words, their hearts finally calmed down a bit. If it was just blocking the Void Explosive Golden Wasps, compared to fighting them head-on, it was a lot easier. After all, Ning Cheng could come in from outside the city, and if he genuinely wanted to go out, then supposedly these Void Explosive Golden Wasps should not be able to stop him. Since Ning Cheng decided to stay here, then perhaps there was a way to survive this situation.
Ning Cheng helped Wu Yingzhe by throwing out dozens of Array Flags, patched, and even quickly strengthened the array formations on the Inner Defensive Arrays. After that, he said, “I am going to search for something. When I find it, I should be able to lead them away.”
“Dear…..” Ji Luofei called out in worry.
Ning Cheng patted Ji Luofei’s hand and spoke, “Luofei, don’t worry. I truly have a way to deal with these Void Explosive Golden Wasps. I will lead these Explosive Golden Wasps away, which would allow Wu Yingzhe to quickly bring out his people to repair the rest of the array formations.”
“I’m coming with you.” Ji Luofei quickly spoke up.
Ning Cheng understood Ji Luofei’s intent; Ji Luofei wanted to enter the Miniature World along with Yi Zhuzhu out of concern for his safety. However, he shook his head and spoke, “The grade of my Miniature World Ring is too low and would not remain stable for long within the Void. Once we encounter a Spacial Collapse or a Spacial Squeeze, my Miniature World Ring would quickly collapse. Therefore, neither you nor Zhuzhu can enter. As long as I lead away from the Explosive Golden Wasps, the Rootless Black City would once again return to becoming the safest place. You don’t have to feel worried about me since I’m confident enough to escape from them.”
Ji Luofei was also very clear about Ning Cheng’s meaning. Moreover, she knew that Ning Cheng’s Miniature World Ring’s grade was too low and was not stable enough to support life inside it for long within the Void. If one was not alive, then how could one use a ring? Even if one managed to survive, the Spacial Laws of the Miniature World Ring would turn even more unstable. Moreover, to keep them shielded Ning Cheng would also have to focus a majority of his strength to maintain the stability of the Miniature World Ring.
“Ok, Zhuzhu and I will stay here and wait for you.” Ji Luofei finally accented, agreeing to Ning Cheng’s arrangements.
“Zimo, during the time I was not within the Rootless Black City, the cultivator army suffered a lot of losses. While I will personally lead away from the Explosive Golden Wasps, you must bring your people to stabilise the situation within the Rootless Black City. If someone dares to have ideas of fishing in troubled waters, then kill them without any mercy.” Ning Cheng quickly gave out his orders to Shen Zimo who stood by his side awaiting his orders.
In fact, even without Ning Cheng giving his orders, all cultivators within the ar
my felt extremely afraid of this City Master Ning Cheng. With so many Explosive Golden Wasps surrounding the Rootless Black City, none among them possessed the ability to rush out of the Rootless Black City. However, Ning Cheng not only rushed in without suffering any damage, he even managed to kill a large cluster of those seemingly unkillable Explosive Golden Wasps.

After Ning Cheng spoke those words, he did not rush out of the Rootless Black City. Instead, he pushed deeper into the city.
Since the Void Explosive Golden Wasps laid siege to the Rootless Black City, almost all the cultivators of the city were now at the city walls resisting the invasion of the Explosive Golden Wasps. Therefore, when Ning Cheng rushed towards the inner areas, he did not encounter anyone. If not for all the cultivators within the city speeding towards the city walls to resist the Explosive Golden Wasps, then perhaps one might end up mistaking this incomparably silent place as a dead city.
After half an incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng arrived at a very remote street within the city. A dark shadow, on sensing Ning Cheng coming over, felt startled and suddenly jumped out of the darkness. As this vague dark silhouette jumped out in panic, however, it ended up right in front of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng had already deployed his False Domain, and at the same time, shot out several Axe Shadows.
Inside Ning Cheng’s False Domain, this vague shadow instantly slowed down to a crawl. Finally, Ning Cheng saw what that vague shadow was. This shadow was a cat-like creature slightly larger than a domestic cat; however, its fur was pitch-black and smooth, just like a mirror at night.
This apparently was an extremely sensitive demonic beast; moreover, there this demonic beast also sported a single horn on its head.
[TL Note: After consulting with other translators, I decided to change the term ‘Monstrous Beast’ to ‘Demonic Beast’ from now on to avoid confusion in the later chapters where ‘Monster’ and ‘Demon’ are relatively two separate species. I will change the terminologies in the previous chapters later.]
When the demonic beast found itself bound within Ning Cheng’s False Domain, it immediately started to panic and started swaying side to side frantically. However, Ning Cheng did not wait for this demonic beast to work itself out of his False Domain and immediately shot out 12 Axe Shadows.
These 12 Axe Shadows then combined into three Axe Traces, which ultimately sealed all the escape routes of the one-horned demonic beast.
“Puff…..” A spray of blood erupted. This demonic beast was still was swaying side to side within Ning Cheng’s False Domain trying to free itself when Ning Cheng’s Cosmic Devil True Axes split it into two neat halves. The two halves then dropped to the ground with a plop sound.
Ning Cheng did not care about the now-dead demonic beast. Instead, he extracted a symbol-like object from the claws of one of its paws.
Ning Cheng quickly broke apart the restriction over this symbol-like object, which the transformed into a basketball-sized grey and white egg. Seeing the egg, Ning Cheng gave out a sigh. It was a Wasp King Egg.
When he was still outside the Rootless Black City, his Spiritual Consciousness sweep revealed a familiar aura of the Void Explosive Golden Wasp’s Wasp King Egg within the Rootless Black City. This reason why he felt this aura to be familiar was all due to the Wasp King Egg in his possession.
Now that he killed this unknown demonic beast, he realised that this Wasp King Egg was actually one of the two Wasp King Eggs that he had initially encountered.
A few years ago, near to the Blue Essence Stone Mine, he had seen two Explosive Golden Wasp’s Wasp King Eggs. It was also from there that he obtained one of the two Wasp King Eggs. Because he was not greedy, he had only robbed them of one egg. Moreover, after he sealed up the Wasp King Egg that he took, the Void Explosive Golden Wasps had also not chosen to pursue him to settle accounts.
He had not thought that after such a long time, the other Wasp King Egg had not only not hatched but had somehow ended in the hands of a small demonic beast, which then somehow snuck into the Rootless Black City.
For the Void Explosive Golden Wasps, their target was the only Wasp King Egg within the Rootless Black City. Thus, it would have been strange if the Void Explosive Golden Wasps had not chosen to attack the Rootless Black City crazily.
At the same time, Ning Cheng understood that this now-dead demonic beast had not brought this Wasp King Egg inside this city by itself. Instead, this matter must have some relations to the Void Battleship outside. This demonic beast acted as a lure to bring this Wasp King Egg to the Rootless Black City, attracting the Explosive Golden Wasps to clash with the Rootless Black City’s cultivators. However, why did those cultivators controlling the Void Warship do such a thing? Ning Cheng had not figured out this part yet.
Whatever be the case, that person probably did not think that he had encountered a Wasp King Egg previously, which immediately allowed him to detect the aura of the Wasp King Egg while outside the Rootless Black City.
The moment that Ning Cheng took out the Wasp King Egg, the Void Explosive Golden Wasps immediately started attacking the Rootless Black City with even more ferocity. Fortunately, Ning Cheng had sealed the Wasp King Egg’s Aura quickly, before rushing out of the Rootless Black City.
Ning Cheng rushed out of the Rootless Black City so fast that most of the cultivators couldn’t even feel it, except for a few of the cultivators who paid close attention to Ning Cheng’s movements.
As soon as he rushed out of the Rootless Black City, the seemingly inexhaustible Explosive Golden Wasps immediately moved to encircle him. Ning Cheng once again used the modified version of the Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique. A line of fire erupted, causing a passage to open up which directly led to the Void Battleship currently sealed by the Array Flags.
Under the fully activated Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds, Ning Cheng arrived at the side of the battleship in less than a breath. At the same time, he struck out with his Nirvana Spear at full force at the Concealment Array Disc hovering over the Black Void Battleship.
“Click” A sound emerged, under the full force of Ning Cheng’s attack, this top-level Concealment Array Disc crumbled apart at the next instant, turning into a scrap of slag. A large black ship appeared in front of Ning Cheng, with the entrance to the black Void Battleship wide open.
Ning Cheng immediately shot through the entrance of the battleship. He had already realised that this entrance was not open for him but for the demonic beast that he had just killed.
A scarlet-robed youth was sitting on the floor of the battleship covered in blood; apparently, recuperating. This person sported severe injuries, with a huge gaping hole that ran through his chest. Also, this injury caused his aura to turn sluggish.
“Who are you?” The scarlet-robed young man on seeing Ning Cheng rush into the battleship immediately shot a fierce gaze towards Ning Cheng. At the same time, an enormous quantity of murderous intent was gathering within his body; however, the speed was quite slow because of his severe injuries. Even if he wanted to fight Ning Cheng, he could not muster enough power.
Ning Cheng did not bother with any nonsense, while he shot out with the Nirvana Spear in his hand. Directly stabbing it towards the scarlet-robed man’s glabella.
He did not care who this person was, because he dared to lure the Void Explosive Golden Wasps to destroy the Rootless Black City, it was clear to Ning Cheng, that he was more of an enemy and definitely not a friend. As such, there was no need for any sort of polite words.
“Stay your hand….” the scarlet-robed young man shouted out in anger. The expression on his face was as if an ant was trying to bite an elephant. With Ning Cheng’s puny cultivation, he unexpectedly dared to attack him.
H
owever, why would Ning Cheng choose to stop? On the contrary, the Nirvana Spear’s Spear Intent grew even more explosive.
“Bang…..” However, what shocked Ning Cheng was that even with the aid of such explosively powerful Spear Intent, which should have at least severely injured the young man; the young man easily caught the Spear Head with his hand.
He immediately realised that if not for this young man’s severe injuries, Ning Cheng would not be qualified to earn even a gaze from this scarlet-robed young man.
“Poof….” At the same time, just when the scarlet-robed young man grabbed the Spear Head, he immediately vomited out a mouthful of blood.
His cultivation was more than just twice as powerful compared to Ning Cheng. Unfortunately, his injuries were also extremely severe. Otherwise, it was impossible for these Void Explosive Golden Wasps to stop him. At the same time, it would be even more impossible for someone like Ning Cheng to injure him.
Because of his severe injuries, when he caught Ning Cheng’s Nirvana Spear, it ended up adding another internal wound on top of his already severe injuries, causing him to vomit out a mouthful of blood.
Ning Cheng, although shocked in his heart, did not dare to show any form of neglect. His 36 Cosmic True Devil Axes suddenly appeared around him. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful opponent. Although Cang Wei might turn out stronger than this fellow, he and Cang Wei were friends, while Ning Cheng and this scarlet-robed young man definitely were not friends.
“Poof-Poof-Poof…..” Axe Shadows crisscrossed across the cabin of the battleship. In just a moment, these Axe Shadows formed a Murderous Axe Entrapment Formation, which surrounded the scarlet-robed young man.
The scarlet-robed young man once again vomited out a lot more blood; at the same time, he could no longer hold onto Ning Cheng’s Nirvana Spear. As his hand loosened slightly, Ning Cheng’s Nirvana Spear turned half an arc in front of his eyes and once again gathered all the killing intent before blasting towards him.
