Chapter 125: Virtual Network Division!

Senluo Cloud City was called a small city.

But in reality, it was even more massive than Base No. 15!

Base No. 15 could accommodate nearly 60 million people.

Yet, Senluo Cloud City was large enough to house at least 100 million people!

Its vastness was simply unimaginable!

But this was understandable.

With a Martial God overseeing Senluo Cloud City, it was essentially classified as a ‘Super Base’ among human settlements on Earth.

For a Super Base, having this scale was nothing unusual.

What truly astonished Su Xiaobai, however, was that all the buildings in Senluo Cloud City exuded a strong ancient Earth-style aesthetic!

Within this ancient style, there were even traces of influences from ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and ancient Egypt…

It looked like a grand melting pot of cultures, yet miraculously, everything blended together seamlessly!

On the streets, people of all kinds were passing by—each with varying skin tones and exotic features.

Some were exceptionally tall, some had disproportionately long arms, some had elongated legs, and some were hunched over…

Some weren’t even human by normal standards; aside from their humanoid shape, hardly anything about their bodies resembled actual humans.

“Warriors, Martial Masters, Martial Generals… they’re all here!”

“Ordinary Martial Commanders, Elite Martial Commanders, Ultimate Martial Commanders… I can even sense the presence of a Demi-God Martial Commander, though it’s quite far away!”

“And over in that direction, there’s an especially overwhelming aura. If I’m not mistaken, that should be the Martial God overseeing this place!”

Though the beings of this foreign world used classifications like ‘Spirit Level’ and ‘Super Spirit Level’, for Su Xiaobai, a true human, terms like Martial Commander and Martial God felt much more fitting.

Rumble~~

At that moment, a commotion rapidly approached from afar.

Su Xiaobai’s spatial perception immediately expanded outward.

On the broad street, a ‘carriage’ appeared—though instead of horses, it was pulled by three S-class ferocious beasts.

Their bodies shimmered with iridescent scales, twin horns jutted from their heads, and flames flickered from their hooves—clearly, they were no ordinary creatures!

Behind the carriage was a floating, luxurious seat, crafted from rare metallic minerals and precious woods, radiating extravagance.

Seated on it was a man dressed in opulent robes—an ordinary Martial Commander—brandishing a long whip in his hand.

He laughed wildly as he mercilessly lashed at the pedestrians lining the streets.

Anyone struck by his whip either suffered severe injuries or died on the spot!

Yet, despite this blatant brutality, no one dared to rebuke him.

Even elite Martial Commanders barely managed to dodge his whip in time; though they frowned, they neither acted against him nor spoke a word...

Clearly, this man had an immense background!

“Could he be the son of the Martial God?”

“It seems that no matter where you go—Earth or a foreign world—the nature of life remains the same...”

A cold glint flashed through Su Xiaobai’s eyes.

Soon, the carriage drew near.

The surrounding people scrambled to get out of the way, but Su Xiaobai walked steadily along the street’s edge, undeterred.

A few unlucky foreigners failed to dodge in time.

The whip lashed down.

Their bodies were too weak and they died instantly.

Blood pooled across the ground.

Their lifeless eyes remained wide open in shock.

Everyone else had fled, only Su Xiaobai remained standing.

Who else would the man lash at if not him?

But Su Xiaobai wasn’t so easily struck.

With a simple sidestep, he effortlessly evaded the whip.

The man didn’t seem to care.

After all, a mere Elite Spirit-level warrior dodging his attack was no big deal.

He simply looked away and continued whipping pedestrians.

The carriage moved past Su Xiaobai.

Once it was a fair distance away, the crescent-shaped Spatial Blade hidden in Su Xiaobai’s palm quietly disappeared.

The man, who had been laughing wildly and whipping bystanders without restraint,

suddenly froze in place.

A thin, narrow wound appeared on his throat.

Blood seeped out, drop by drop.

His aura was gone.

He was dead—on the spot!

“As expected, the Martial God’s son… he’s already started roaring in fury.”

Almost the instant the man died, Su Xiaobai’s immense spiritual senses detected an enraged roar from the Martial God’s direction.

Even across half the city, he could feel the sheer rage in that voice!

Soon, the Martial God’s terrifying aura surged toward this location.

Su Xiaobai smirked.

With a single step, he vanished from sight.

With every ten steps, a life is taken; a thousand miles away, none remain.

Once the deed is done, I dust off my robe, concealing my name and merit.

Su Xiaobai felt as though he had truly begun to grasp this state of mind.

…

Without paying further attention to the chaos surrounding the Martial God’s wrath, Su Xiaobai continued wandering through Senluo Cloud City.

He soon found places similar to the Treasure Pill Pavilion, Beast Treasure Pavilion, and Heavenly Weapons Pavilion from the human world.

Though the names were different, their functions were identical.

For example: The Treasure Pill Pavilion was known as ‘Tower Upon Tower’ here.

The Beast Treasure Pavilion became ‘Cloud Summit Palace’.

The Heavenly Weapons Pavilion was called ‘Blood Slaughter Alliance’.

“Looks like the human world must have borrowed these concepts from the foreign realm.”

Without hesitation, Su Xiaobai stepped inside.

Inside Tower Upon Tower, they were actually selling Grade-Nine Pills!

However…

“Low-grade Origin Stones?”

Su Xiaobai frowned.

It seemed these were the currency used in the foreign world.

But he couldn’t exactly exchange Spirit Coins for Origin Stones, could he?

Who in the Otherworld would recognize Spirit Coins?

“Host, the system offers a free one-click exchange feature. One billion Spirit Coins can be exchanged for one Low-grade Origin Stone!”

The system’s notification instantly rang in his mind.

“What the—?!”

“One billion Spirit Coins equal one Low-grade Origin Stone… which means this Grade-Nine Pill worth 10,000 Origin Stones is actually priced at… one quadrillion?!”

Su Xiaobai was stunned.

No wonder Grade-Nine Pills were so outrageously expensive— their price completely exceeded his financial reach!

Right now, my entire wealth might only amount to a dozen Low-grade Origin Stones at best.

And this is just low-grade currency.

What about mid-grade, high-grade, or supreme-grade?

The conversion rate must be astronomical!

But as Su Xiaobai continued browsing, he stumbled upon something that filled him with immense excitement—

Inside Tower Upon Tower, there was a stable supply of alchemy ingredients!

In the human world, alchemy ingredients were mostly traded on the black market…

Even places like the Treasure Pill Pavilion rarely sold them, since they barely had enough for their own use!

But in the Otherworld, things were different.

The abundance of resources allowed them to sell both refined pills and raw alchemy ingredients!

This is a massive opportunity!

“Looks like I need to do some major business in this Otherworld!”

“But not just yet… for now, this is what I need—”

Su Xiaobai stood on the seventh floor of Tower Upon Tower and gazed into the distance.

There, he saw a mysterious, pitch-black crystal spire.

It was deep and ominous, as though it could swallow even light itself.

Through spatial perception, he learned its true identity—

The Virtual Network Division!
