Chapter 339 New Hetuo Planet
Chapter 339 New Hetuo Planet
This entire process had become quite familiar during the 100 cosmic days of the exploration mission.
The next step involved uploading the data and synchronizing the mission records.
Every four-star life planet followed a similar routine.
Ju Bairuo was preparing to upload the data when Wang Ye stopped him, wearing a puzzled expression.
"I'll upload it after the comprehensive survey is completed," Wang Ye said with seriousness.
Comprehensive surveys required entering the life planet for collection, verification, and an all-encompassing exploration.
In the exploration mission, only the five-star and the lone six-star life planets required this level of scrutiny.
"That's not appropriate." Ju Bairuo expressed a different opinion. "New Hetuo Planet isn't like Pipino Planet. It's likely to have many Super Star level great demons or supreme demonic beasts inside. The danger is too high for just the three of us."
"Are you scared?" Wang Ye chuckled.
"It's not about being scared or not," Ju Bairuo explained. "I just don't think it's necessary. New Hetuo Planet isn't part of our exploration mission, and there's no requirement for comprehensive exploration. Completing a comprehensive survey, killing a Super Star level great demon or supreme demonic beast, the only difference is the additional battle credits, which are already over a million just from discovering and reporting it."
"But we've already pocketed a million battle credits just by reporting it."
"The benefits and risks are not proportionate." Ju Bairuo argued.
"We're only at the Dark Energy level," he continued. "The risk is too high, and you don't know how many Super Star level great demons are present."
"It's still less risky than battling Super Star level demons on the battlefield," Wang Ye retorted. "Besides, setting aside the battle credits, since we've discovered a seven-star life planet, completing a comprehensive survey is the duty of the exploration team."
"I don't think it's a good decision." Ju Bairuo shook his head.
"Of course, I don't think so either," Wang Ye thought.
However, not seizing the opportunity for potential points in front of him would be inviting trouble!
Killing a Super Star level powerhouse on the battlefield was extremely difficult. Now, not only were they isolated, but there was also no mature and complete cultivation system.
The strength of the Super Star level great demons and supreme demonic beasts wasn't too formidable. Even if there were dangers, they were within a manageable range.
"What do you think, Sanqi?" Ju Bairuo regretted asking the question as soon as he spoke.
"I think Wang Ye is right," Yan Sanqi's response didn't surprise Ju Bairuo. He couldn't help but sigh.
Apart from her physical appearance not yet mirroring Wang Ye's, everything else about her had already become Wang Ye's.
"Since Sanqi also agrees, and you're the captain, I'll respect your decision." Ju Bairuo didn't press further and quickly switched to combat-ready Dark Energy-level equipment.
In a military camp, having differing opinions was a commonplace occurrence.

...
On New Hetuo Planet, lush vegetation teemed with vibrant life.
Gigantic trees, spanning tens of thousands of meters in height, vast oceans with no visible bottom, and the air saturated with rich life energy. New Hetuo Planet exuded an overwhelming vitality.
This seven-star life planet was brimming with life.
The demon race ruled this planet.
Over thousands of years of the evolution of intelligent life, the New Hetuo Planet spawned various demon races, spreading across the entire planet.
Without advanced technology, only the most primal and unadulterated power prevailed.
In the Earth Otter Tribe's territory, it was led by the Super Star level demonic beast, the Earth Otter King.
It occupied nearly 5% of the planet's land area, and there were thousands of dark-level demonic beasts and countless cosmic behemoths.
In the New Hetuo Planet, it was considered a relatively large race.
Usually, they could be called overlords on land. Their powerful bodies and bloodlines allowed them to win battles of the same level.
The existence of the Earth Otter King made them even more fearless of the other large tribes.
But today, they faced a catastrophe.
Boom!
The earth otters let out sorrowful cries mixed with fear.
The three alien experts who descended from the sky had killed their king with invincible power!
Especially the alien race expert who released the terrifying lightning strike. His tiny body contained a cosmic strength that was even more terrifying than that of a great demon!
[Killed Super Star level extreme level one demonic beast.]
[Potential Points: 34,600,000 to 39,600,000]
Light flashed in front of Wang Ye's eyes.
Immediately after, the Space-lock Battle Domain was released, enveloping the demonic beasts of earth otters.
Kill!
Ju Bairuo and Yan Sanqi were not inferior.
One on the left and one on the right, they were like guardians, slaughtering the Dark Energy level demonic beasts.
Even though they were all at the Dark Energy level, they had excellent equipment and were experienced on the battlefield. They were far stronger than those of the same level.
Compared to the demonic beasts of the New Hetuo Planet that lagged, their strength was more than one level stronger!
[Killed Dark Energy level-7 demonic beast.]
[Potential Points: 39,600,000 to 41,000,000]
...
[Killed Dark Energy level-8 demonic beast.]
[Potential Points: 47.8 million to 50.2 million]
...
[Killed Dark Energy level-9 demonic beast.]
[Potential Points: 58.3 million to 61.9 million]
...
Clear!
It was a satisfying battle.
In the blink of an eye, the battle prowess of the Earth Otter Tribe, which had dominated New Hetuo Planet for thousands of years, was greatly reduced.
And this was only the beginning.
Ju Bairuo quickly recorded the data and completed the investigation.
The three of them rushed to their next destination.
Beamon Race, Flying Camel Race, Armored Python Race...
One by one, the races on the continent suffered a devastating blow.
Wang Ye had displayed his superior abilities as a captain.
Every time, he would take over the kings of the demon races and the top Dark Energy level combat prowess.
Yan Sanqi was in charge of clearing out the ordinary Dark Energy level demon experts, while Ju Bairuo was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and recording.
The division of labor was clear.
Wang Ye's potential points shot up from 34.6 million.
After exceeding 100 million, it quickly reached 150 million.
He had earned so much!
What was he doing on New Hetuo Planet?
Wasn't it all for potential points?
The hatred between humans and demons?
What did it have to do with him?
He still hadn't figured it out himself.
"There are very few great demons," Yan Sanqi said. "We've already wiped out the territories of five large tribes. Only one of them was a Super Star level great demon, the rest were all extreme demonic beasts."
"No inheritances, only the natural evolution of life energy. In the early stages, the probability of Extreme Demonic Beasts appearing is higher," Wang Ye explained. "If there were demon cultivation inheritances creating a complete system, with established traditions and spell techniques, the chances of great demons appearing would be much higher than those of extreme demonic beasts."
Demonic beasts and demon cultivators followed two distinct evolutionary paths within the demon race.
Compared to human warriors and ability users, the distinctions were more apparent.
Demonic beasts walked the path of stimulating their cosmic beast bloodline. They primarily focused on cultivating their physical bodies and unlocking their bloodline potential, relying more on themselves and the external environment.
Demonic cultivators walked the path of transformation and gained insight into the cosmic universe. They were more similar to humans, creating cultivation techniques, perfecting various traditions, and having broader development prospects.
"This indicates that the appearance of Super Star level entities on New Hetuo Planet is relatively recent," Ju Bairuo commented, jotting down notes. "It aligns with our current detections. New Hetuo Planet was born less than 3,000 years ago, and the emergence of intelligent life occurred around 1,400 years ago."
"So, currently, there are more extreme demonic beasts. If another thousand years pass, with more great demons emerging, complete inheritances, and established cultivation techniques, the number of great demons will quickly surpass that of extreme demonic beasts, possibly even overwhelming them."
Wang Ye nodded in agreement.
Extreme demonic beasts lacked inheritances. Their cultivation depended solely on their conditions. Insufficient bloodline, inadequate potential, energy scarcity in the environment, and fierce competition could all contribute to fluctuations in the population of extreme demonic beasts.
In contrast, great demons, much like humans, increased in number once they had inheritances and cultivation techniques. Although personal abilities were still a requirement, it was not as stringent as for extreme demonic beasts.
"Let's continue," Wang Ye said with a smile.
The progress was exceptionally smooth!
...
The Soul Ape Tribe's territory, the last and largest territory on the New Hetuo Planet occupied 30% of the total area.
"At least three Super Star level great demons." Wang Ye cautioned the two of them. "Be cautious."
"Understood." Ju Bairuo and Yan Sanqi prepared for battle.
Once a great demon appeared in a tribe, as long as they were willing to share their inheritance, the appearance of a second and third great demon would quickly follow.
This was also why Ju Bairuo had been hesitant to take risks before. Without fully understanding the situation, there could be an astonishing number of great demons on the newly born seven-star life planet!
However, this time, they didn't encounter any.
Was it a coincidence?
Ju Bairuo's gaze turned towards Wang Ye, who was leading the way.
"It doesn't seem like it," Ju Bairuo thought. "He didn't show any hesitation, as if he already knew."
Based on his understanding of Wang Ye, he was not a person to be taken lightly.
Despite his seemingly reckless demeanor, he was meticulous and cunning.
Wang Ye wouldn't engage in anything unless he was confident.
"It looks like I still don't know him well enough," Ju Bairuo's evaluation of Wang Ye elevated another notch.
This captain was even more formidable than his current understanding.
They were rapidly approaching!
The three great demons seemed to have anticipated their arrival, already gathering.
The countless Soul Apes within the territory emitted roars, directly assaulting Wang Ye at the forefront.
An exceptionally terrifying Soul Tremble Spell erupted!
Bang!
Wang Ye almost burst apart as his psyche resonated with the Soul Tremble Spell.
Behind him, Ju Bairuo's expression turned solemn, swiftly forming a white light shield and retreating.
Amidst Yan Sanqi's battle cry, she charged towards the three great demons.
Swoosh!
Wang Ye's cellular structure rapidly reorganized.
"Banh!" In an instant, a massive energy release from the Whitewheel Origin.
Like a wildfire, it descended upon the Soul Apes in the territory, resembling ability users.
The mighty white origin of thunder quickly inflicted damage!
In a blink, the space became distorted.
Ju Bairuo shot water arrows wildly, shrouding the group of Soul Apes, denying them a chance for a second Soul Tremble Spell attack.
"Clang!" Yan Sanqi single-handedly fought against three great demon kings.
She unleashed her full combat prowess, showcasing the strength of an ensign!
Wherever her sword intent reached, an overwhelming killing aura surged, reminiscent of battles against the demon race in the military camp!
"I underestimated them, they were prepared," Wang Ye, in Dual-blade Style, revealed his Space-lock Battle Domain. His combat energy surged, aided by Ju Bairuo's control, initiating a massacre against the group of Dark Energy level Soul Apes.
His peripheral vision focused on Yan Sanqi.
In close combat, she had unleashed her strongest combat prowess.
Facing three great demon kings not proficient in close combat, she had the upper hand.
Quite formidable.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wang Ye launched a full-scale attack.
Potential points skyrocketed, breaking through the 300 million mark in no time.
The gathered Soul Apes were numerous.
This battle marked the highest consumption for Wang Ye and Ju Bairuo since entering New Hetuo Planet!
However, the absolute dominance in strength still prevailed!
[Killed Dark Energy level-9 demonic beast.]
[Potential Points: 321.4 million to 325 million]
Lights and shadows flashed before Wang Ye's eyes.
Suddenly, his heart trembled.
Swiftly changing his form, he shot towards the three great demon kings like a sharp arrow.
Soul Tremble Spell reappeared!
This time, the three great demon kings launched a joint attack on Yan Sanqi.
Bang!
A Super Star level Soul Tremble Spell erupted!
Wang Ye couldn't stop it.
Yet, in an instant, Yan Sanqi's aura surged!
Not only did the three-in-one Soul Tremble Spell fail to kill her, but it also ignited her boundless fighting spirit!
Where her sword went, it was unmatched!
"I underestimated her too." Wang Ye smiled and faced one of the demon kings.
The Six Intents of the Kui Cattle, coupled with the white origin of thunder, displayed its strength advantage.
Yan Sanqi, who had battled in the military camp for decades, had seen all kinds of situations.
A mere Soul Tremble Spell could be withstood by willpower alone.
His two teammates were not to be underestimated.
...
The battle concluded!
It was yet another anticipated victory.
Despite some minor interruptions, the outcome remained unchanged.
Ju Bairuo quickly surveyed and recorded.
Wang Ye attended to Yan Sanqi's injuries.
"Something seems off." Yan Sanqi said, "The three Soul Ape demon kings seemed to know we were coming."
"Yes, they had already gathered, waiting for us." Wang Ye recalled the first eruption of the Soul Tremble Spell.
Its power was simply overwhelming.
Had he not self-destructed swiftly, severe injury would have been unavoidable.
Had he not self-destructed swiftly, severe injury would have been unavoidable.
"How did they know?" Yan Sanqi questioned.
"I'm not sure." Wang Ye replied, "The Soul Ape tribe has considerable expertise in the soul. They likely sensed some danger from the changes on New Hetuo Planet."
"I know the reason," Ju Bairuo said suddenly.
Huh?
Wang Ye turned his gaze.
"Just now, the planetary detector detected an unconventional presence." Ju Bairuo's eyes gleamed brightly as he spoke seriously.
"What?" Yan Sanqi inquired.
"A starship!"
