Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1028: Veins of the Western Desert

Su Yuan mused, ”In this light, the rarity of a Ninth Stage King Level is no less than that of the Emperor Level...”

Bai Ze chuckled, ”That’s because the Emperor Level accumulates over countless years.

But the King Level... when its potential is exhausted, it turns to dust after several thousand years.”

”However...” Bai Ze shifted his tone, ”However, the present situation is somewhat different now.”

”Oh? What is different?”

Bai Ze continued, ”Currently, we are amidst the Earth Tribulation, with Earth Qi surging, Star Veins proliferating, and Heaven and Earth Star Power intensifying.

In the contest for Star Veins, the visible and invisible battles have claimed countless lives.

Do you know... why there is an Earth Tribulation?”

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, ”Because, the world’s growth?”

Bai Ze nodded, ”Exactly, if we compare the world to a human, then our Blue Sea Star is transitioning from youth into adulthood.

To mature into adulthood requires enduring pain and embracing challenges.

The evolution of Star Veins and the rise of the Earth Tribulation are indeed part of this process.

In the years to come, not only will Earth Qi continue to emerge, but the energy level of our Blue Sea Star will also steadily rise, with the world’s laws becoming clearer and more stable.

The increasingly rich Heaven and Earth Star Power will accelerate the cultivation of the King’s Subordinates, while the clearer world laws will facilitate our understanding.”

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, ”So, future High Stage King Levels... might be more numerous?”

”That’s right!” Bai Ze nodded.

Su Yuan laughed, ”Looks like we are in fortunate times.”

Bai Ze’s expression slightly shifted but said no more.

After some more conversation, Su Yuan departed with Ashley.

Watching Su Yuan leave, Bai Ze murmured to himself, ”It is opportunity, but also danger...”

Thoughtfully, Bai Ze recalled what Lord Ming King had said, that the emergence of the Earth Tribulation might also indicate the world perceiving a crisis.

In ancient times, there were exceptionally gifted sages and the rising of the Emperor Level because the world needed these individuals to accelerate its growth.

And now, it seems like that time has come again...

As time passed, three years quickly went by.

To deal with the emerging Dragon Veins, Qiguang utilized the Holy Blessing to create batches of ”Truth Knights.”

But in terms of quality and quantity, they could not compare to the original Truth Knights.

After all, in establishing the initial Truth Secret Society, apart from other resources, it consumed vast reserves of talent!

Holy Temple Knights, Five Great Families, high-risk prisoners, civilian experts...

Qiguang scoured every corner for Burning Sun Experts available.

As a result, in these three years, Great Flame and Qiguang naturally took over all Dragon Veins within and around their territories, with each possessing seven or eight.

Regarding some Neutral Dragon Veins emerging between the north and south, Qiguang, despite repeated battles with Great Flame, only secured two, while Great Flame took nearly ten!

Adding the Dragon Veins from the Heavenly Palace battle and previous times... Great Flame had gained nearly twenty more Dragon Veins than Qiguang from the Earth Tribulation!

Such advantages were truly terrifying!

In one Dragon Vein battle after another, Su Yuan continuously defeated strong foes, achieving numerous meritorious deeds, driving back powerful enemies wherever he went, with northern adversaries not daring to challenge his might!

Since the Heavenly Palace battle, the prestige of Vermilion Bird True Monarch not only remained undiminished but continued rising with successive campaigns.

Until now, his fame had already shaken the north and south, shining across Central Heaven!

However, by this point, the evolution of Star Veins had noticeably slowed.

From initially seeing new Dragon Veins emerge every month or two, now it was uncertain to see one in four or five months.

Thus, the eruption of Dragon Veins had entered a decline, and the Dragon Vein battles were nearing their conclusion...

At Qiguang’s Round Table meeting.

”This Earth Tribulation is nearing its end.” Reinhardt began.

”So, does this mean we were defeated?”

”We only hold a dozen Dragon Veins, while Great Flame has thirty, of course, we were defeated, overwhelmingly so!”

”... ”

Several voices spoke in succession, none with good spirits.

In a cold tone, the bearded old man dressed in a suit glanced towards Constantin at the front, ”Constantin, the higher-ups had great hopes for you and your Holy Blessing, allocating so many resources, and this is the dismal result you’ve presented?”

As those words fell, everyone turned their gaze upon Constantin.

Constantin’s expression grew solemn, with little to explain.

No explanation was possible!

In terms of outcomes, the battle over this Earth Tribulation was indeed the worst for Qiguang.

And this was all because of that person!

Otherwise, back in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, perhaps Truth Secret Society would have eradicated the Sky Patrol Department, and the present scenario would be completely reversed!

Su Yuan...!

Thinking of this, an uncontrollable murderous intent flickered in Constantin’s eyes.

”Bang!”

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly opened, and a Burning Sun Level Knight rushed in.

”Lord Constantin, important information!”

”Can anyone just intrude upon the Round Table meeting?” Not waiting for Constantin to speak, the bearded old man immediately shouted.

”Even if it’s Dragon Vein intelligence, it’s not worth this urgency... such lack of decorum, if you can’t present something significant, I’ll have my little ones feed on you.” said another elegantly dressed noblewoman.

”Squeak squeak!” The noblewoman’s shoulder perched an eerie green mouse, which chirped twice.

The knight turned pale, glancing at Constantin, fearing to speak lightly.

Constantin queried, ”Speak, Aiyn, what’s the matter?”

The knight nodded, ”My lord, signs of a new Dragon Vein...”

Before he finished, the noblewoman’s eyes turned cold, and her eerie green mouse flashed beside the knight, biting down.

”Ah!!”

Though uninjured, the knight let out a piercing scream.

The noblewoman, named Vini, and her mouse were not ordinary, specialized in devouring souls; if the knight received a couple more bites, he’d suffer permanent soul damage!

”My lord, it’s related to that Su Yuan!!” Frightened, the knight hurriedly spoke up with the crucial point.

With a flicker in his eyes, Constantin reacted swiftly, a winged Demon Red Snake shot forth and swallowed the eerie green mouse.

Vini raised her brows, glancing at Constantin, snorting coldly but saying no more.

Qiguang’s Round Table Knights, an institution only accessible to those at Seventh Stage and above, High Stage King Level.

Vini herself was Seventh Stage, not matching up to the Eighth Stage Constantin.

Constantin continued his inquiry, ”Aiyn, describe the situation.”

The knight, pale-faced, replied, ”The opportunity you’ve been seeking may have arisen; a new Dragon Vein is about to emerge on the southwestern coast of the continent, a place called the Western Desert, and its actual ruler is the Vermilion Bird True Monarch, Su Yuan’s Qingming Palace!”

With just a brief consideration led by clarity from his thoughts, Constantin’s eyes gleamed.

”Well done, Aiyn!”
