Chapter 1301: Exiting Castle of Black Iron
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
When a 680 kg golden spear hit onto the ground which was covered with holes at a speed of over 9,000 m per second, it released over 27 billion Joules’ kinetic energy. As a result, it caused an earthquake and a terrifying big hole on the ground in a split second. Its impact wave reached over 2,000 m away with great destructive power.
Before the golden spear’s impact wave completely disappeared, a figure in pitch-dark battle armor had hit 3 over 100 m higher mountain peaks forcefully with his 6.8-ton battle hammer at the speed of over 6,600 m per second, releasing over 140 billion Joules energy once again.
The impact of the later strike was much greater than that of the golden spear. The entire earth was quaking. Additionally, a huge mushroom cloud rose up. After everything became quiet, the figure in pitch-dark battle armor nodded in the sky before shaking his head.
“Alas, it still feels as light as a kid’s wooden stick. However, a hammer which weighs over 20 tons couldn’t stand such a great impact. I wonder whether there’s any heavier silver secret item. Well, I prefer Thor’s Hammer...” The figure in the sky looked down before looking up as he muttered, “If I have such a great force of attack when I met Gao Tianzhao, I would never spare any chance for him to launch a counterattack. 2 months flew. I’ve already adapted to the 8 change earth realm; however, after eating over 600 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs, it’s really troublesome for me to adapt to my strength. After staying in Castle of Black Iron for so long, I should take a look outside. I really wonder about the current situation facing the theater of operations. I will take those fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs slowly later on. If I ate too many at once, I would have to spend a long time adapting to it. How’s Paul? I’ve not imagined that even the fruit of redemption which could grant me a medium recovery body will become ripe because of what he did...”
After saying that, the figure stood still in the sky for a short while. Finally, he threw a glance at the distance before shooting towards the immortal mountain in the far...
The fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs were indeed alluring. After eating at least 8 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs each day, Zhang Tie’s strength was steadily growing. After taking fruits, he would adapt to his growing strength and improve his battle skill. Even though Zhang Tie had entered 8 change earth realm, he still couldn’t help staying for a longer time in Castle of Black Iron while being allured by the strength of golden uangs.
In the beginning, Zhang Tie thought that these fruits wouldn’t continue to grow on the small tree. However, after staying almost 2 months in the Castle of Black Iron, he still could gain fruits every day. Zhang Tie even dreamed about eating up all the fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs before leaving there. By the way, he wanted to see whether there were some other rewards on the small tree.
The fact was that the small tree could totally bear over 1800 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs. Zhang Tie had eaten fewer than 700. If he determined to the eat up all these fruits, he had to wait for another 4-5 months in Castle of Black Iron.
However, after considering the urgent battle situation outside, Zhang Tie gave up this thought as he decided to leave Castle of Black Iron.
...
Half an hour later, a figure flashed out of the void in the hot underground space.
Everything remained as same as that 2 months ago. However, Zhang Tie had changed a lot. Compared to that person 2 months ago, Zhang Tie was full of a shocking qi at this moment. With a sense of surging strength and great confidence, Zhang Tie felt overwhelmed while standing there.
Zhang Tie had entered 8 change earth realm. After taking over 600 fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs, Zhang Tie’s strength increased by 42,000 kg. A weapon weighing dozens of tons could be brandished freely and rapidly by him. Additionally, he finally promoted to medium recovery body from preliminary recovery body, which meant a sharp improvement in his invisible power.
Soon after exiting Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie had contacted Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory instead of paying too much attention to the surrounding environment.
Only after 1 minute, Zhang Tie had got his answer as he let out a sigh and muttered, “I see...”
The reason that the small tree could bear fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs constantly over the past 2 months lay in that Paul had finally found the stable supply channels of golden uangs. Paul established long-term trade ties with three major clans in Taixia Country which raised golden uangs on a large scale, namely Lu Clan of Yunzhou Province, Peng Clan of Qingzhou Province and Song Clan of Huizhou Province.
The number of golden uangs raised by the above 3 major clans occupied over 50% of the total supply of golden uangs across Taixia Country. Previously, Zhang Tie purchased golden uangs from a local clan in Taixia Country. Later on, that clan ended the cooperation with Paul facing the stress from the Gobbling Party. At that time, Lu Clan of Yunzhou Province, Peng Clan of Qingzhou Province and Song Clan of Huizhou Province told Paul that they had no quota for Youzhou Province as they were afraid of the power of the Gobbling Party too.
A few days ago, after Paul returned to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and met Zhang Tie’s wives in Iron Heart Palace, they planned to allure the three major clans by the interest of Fiery Oil. After hearing that, Lu Clan of Yunzhou Province, Peng Clan of Qingzhou Province and Song Clan of Hui Zhou Clan immediately forgot about the stress facing the Gobbling Party and shifted to the side of Fire-Dragon Territory as they started to provide golden uangs to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory with the largest quotas.
Although Zhang Tie’s wives didn’t know why Zhang Tie told Paul to set living beings free, they all supported him whatever he wanted unconditionally. During the past 2 months, they even established an exclusive agency called Setting Free Group under the leadership of Paul. There were already over 200 members in Setting Free Group, who were responsible for setting living beings free at the order of Zhang Tie. Iron Heart Palace would support them at full efforts from manpower, material resources, and financial resources. With the support of Zhang Tie’s wives and the concerted efforts of over 200 members of Setting Free Group under the leadership of Paul, fruits of redemption from the gratitude of golden uangs were produced every day. Not only setting free golden uangs, the Setting Free Group even paid higher attention to setting free earthworms in an amazing high efficiency.
Zhang Tie was shocked by the high efficiency of Iron Heart Palace and Setting Free Group. Previously, Zhang Tie just set living beings free stealthily out of many concerns. He didn’t prioritize the production of fruits of redemption; therefore, his schedule proceeded slowly. Actually, he should have long established a Setting Free Group.
When the small tree could bear fewer and fewer kinds of fruits, the functions of the fruit of redemption grew increasingly more outstanding. Additionally, as long as he put into enough financial resources and manpower, he would gain fruits of redemption at an amazing speed and increase his strength sharply in a short period. It was a shortcut to increase his strength sharply...
‘Based on my fame and overall strength, I don’t care even if someone knows that I’m setting living beings free on a large scale. I have too much money and just like setting living beings free, so what?’
After thinking through it, Zhang Tie became spirited at once as he realized the significance to have a lot of virtuous wives at home.
After speaking highly of the Setting Free Group and the Iron Heart Palace and telling Setting Free Group to continue to run in this way, Zhang Tie ended his contact with Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory.
After that, Zhang Tie wanted to contact Blackwater Base. However, after looking around, Zhang Tie didn’t even know where he was. After staying in the belly of the Heavens-eaten Boa for a few hours, he estimated that he had been over 1,000 miles away from the winding, narrow tunnel. ‘It would be funny if I couldn’t tell Blackwater Base about my precise location. How could I not know where I am recuperating?’
‘I will go back to the earth surface first.’
When Zhang Tie made up his mind, he immediately jumped into the magma pond while releasing his protective battle qi.
There was indeed an underground magma lake outside the magma pond. After exiting the magma lake, Zhang Tie found a hole that led to the earth surface. Therefore, Zhang Tie flew upwards through that hole...
...
10 minutes later, Zhang Tie flew out of a cave which was surrounded by mountains.
After looking around, Zhang Tie saw a miserable scroll painting of war...
Dense columns of smoke rushed into the sky from the earth outside these mountains. A large city was burning all over in the fiery flames. Besides, the villages and fields outside the city were also covered with dense smoke...
There were thousands of airships in the sky, whose formation had been disrupted. They were escaping in all directions. When Zhang Tie flew out of the cave, as the greater part of air sacs of a war airship was burning, the large airship was frothing smoke as it dove all the way towards the earth. Like a fiery phoenix, it crashed onto the earth heavily and broke into parts in the flames. In this process, only some crew members who responded fast jumped off the airship while opening their parachutes in the sky.
The moment a crew member opened his parachute, he had been shattered into bloody foam while his blood made the pure white parachute red.
At this moment, a wing demon knight flashed by and punched another Hua crew member who jumped off the airship by parachute into blood foam. After that, it accelerated towards the closest airship. In the distance, dozens of columns of battle smoke and 4 battle qi tornadoes rushed into the sky as knights of Taixia Country were fighting a group of wing demons in the sky...
