Chapter 718: Helpless

Vigilante A sped along and soon reached where the alchemists were. The Red Tree stood out as a landmark, revealing their location.

When Vigilante A first entered, he was not far from here. At that time, he could faintly hear the shrieks of people killing each other.

It was only when he explored the arcane realm and walked a long distance in the opposite direction that he got away from here.

As for why he did not meet these people, it was simple. After all, they had entered by following after others, so it was better if they did not meet.

Otherwise, if the other party used morality and ethics to denounce them, it would lead to a completely messy verbal war…

However, now, he had to go meet that group of people.

Vigilante A leaned on a rock and looked at everything on the front bank of the river.

A thousand feet huge tree that was completely red blocked out the sun, like a burning torch.

Under the Tree was a huge circular array with twelve stars uniformly distributed above the circles.

Half were on land while the other half were on the water. They complemented each other and slowly revolved with the Tree as the center.

With every turn, they drew countless souls from the water and gave them back to the Tree.

As for the Tree, it absorbed and devoured those souls one by one…

At this time, the alchemists standing in the formation were all dressed in red robes that hid their faces.

From time to time, the Tree emitted a red light that fell on their bodies, apparently to supplement their strength.

“Damn it, those people really simplify matters. They get to improve their strength just by squatting down.” The System looked in jealousy and resentment.

“Heh, everyone has their own tricks. We have the System Maxim’s path of cultivation, and they also have their own shortcuts to improve their strength. Putting them aside, aren’t you curious why Qiao Zijiang’s rookies were able to reach Lake-level in a year?” Fang Ning said disdainfully.

“They either took drugs or did a Transfer. What other methods are there?” The System scoffed.

“Wrong. You’ve always been short-sighted. Did you forget that the Truth Department has the Land of Heritage, where they had already completely grasped the Heavenly Axiom? They can use the Heavenly Axiom’s power to boost their peoples’ cultivation speed.” Fang Ning said.

“Oh, so that’s it. Hey, we have an arcane realm too, so we can also imitate them…” The System said smartly.

“You’re so dumb. We’re already using that arcane realm to increase our strength. Isn’t the Black Cat Tom borrowing the Heavenly Axiom’s powers there to rapidly cultivate Yin Attribute herbs? The main way for us to improve our strength is through experience. Cultivation only accounts for a small part. We’re not like them. They can only improve their strength little by little, and it’s difficult for them to break through and ascend, but we can.” Fang Ning continued.

“I see. Since there are so many benefits, looks like I’ll definitely need to obtain this arcane realm.” The System said seriously.

“That’s easy enough. Get rid of those evildoers first.” Fang Ning ordered.

“Well, then make them red already.” Sir System grew excited.

“They were already red when I saw them. Didn’t you notice?” Fang Ning was speechless.

“Uh, your efficiency was too high this time, so I’m not used to it.” Sir System said embarrassed.

“Nonsense. When it comes to our safety, I never procrastinate.” Fang Ning said righteously.

“Fine, watch this.”

…

Vigilante A stepped out of his hiding place.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the alchemists.

“Vigilante A? Why did you come here for no reason?” Countess Barito panicked upon seeing him.

When she was in the outside world, the reason why none of her plans could be carried out was because of this person’s existence.

That was because she did not want to be like her predecessors, who were either completely killed or locked into the Draconic Penitentiary.

“Hmph, it’s a great sin to activate the formation and refine people’s souls in broad daylight. I’m here today to kill you!” Vigilante A spoke forcefully with righteousness.

“Hahaha, what double standards. You really have a third of our America’s essence! When you were killing in the River of Blood earlier, didn’t you know that those sea monsters were formed by the coagulation of humans souls from the outside world? Every time they die, they are completely obliterated by the world, and then absorbed by the land. Your actions and ours are the same. You’re just a pot calling the kettle black!” Countess Barito laughed hysterically when she heard this.

“Uh, Mr. Rich Boss, this she-devil’s tongue is quite sharp. I don’t know how to refute her.” Sir System grew gloomy and hurriedly went to Fang Ning for help.

“Heh, it’s a little tough. Although the purposes are the same, the process and means are quite different. This is the difference between justice and evil.” Fang Ning pointed out.

“Ah, I get it now.” Sir System was struck by a realization.

Vigilante A then said coldly, “Those sea monsters came to me seeking death, so I killed them. However, you don’t distinguish between right and wrong, and kill them all indiscriminately. How is that the same? Don’t try to talk glibly. I’ll destroy your formation in one go!”

Hearing this, Countess Barito quickly retreated into the formation.

“Activate the defenses! He must be stopped.” She ordered madly, “He’s limited by the land and can’t use magical energy, so we have the advantage here!”

“Yes, Countess.”

As soon as they spoke, blood red Astrals suddenly rose from the formation to form a fence.

Vigilante A stepped forward and punched the fence.

However, Astral only wavered slightly before returning back to normal.

“Oh no. Mr. Rich Host, I have a powerful punch, but I can’t use magical energy and only have physical power. They’re obviously targeting this fact.” Sir System was shocked.

“What then? Don’t we still have many offensive type treasures? Quickly take out your flying sword Soaring Dragon.” Fang Ning immediately ordered.

The System was a battle and study god, but that was when it was not restricted.

Now that it was restricted by the Heavenly Axiom of this world, it was obvious that there were great obstacles in its battle calculations, and it was no longer as effective.

A study god became a study dreg in seconds.

“Oh, you’re right. I’ll use that.” The System immediately heeded, obediently obeying orders.

Then, the legendary flying sword, ‘Soaring Dragon’, appeared.

The next moment, the System put it away again.

“Oh no, I can’t drive the treasure! Damn this Heavenly Axiom. It forbade me from using them!” The System was astonished.

“What? That was quick. Only those who obey the mandate of heaven will prosper, but the heaven of this place is vicious and ruthless! Only the wicked have benefited.” Fang Ning said angrily.

“Hahaha, how’s that, Vigilante A! Eastern Pharos! Outside, you throw your weight around, but here, you’re just a sick tiger without claws and fangs! You’re no threat to us at all!” The Countess quickly saw the situation and grew wilder.

She naturally saw Vigilante A use the flying sword to try and break the formation before keeping it again. Needless to say, the land had already started to ban the use of treasures…

As a result, Vigilante A only had his physical strength left, but no matter how strong he was physically, would he be able to shake this carefully arranged formation?

A physically-immune alchemy array was all it took to render him helpless.

“Countess, looks like Vigilante A is at his limit. Our Astral Formation has long since been imbued with physical attack immunity. He’s completely helpless. When we extract the stone of the arcane realm, it’ll be his death!” An alchemist chimed in.

“Hahahaha, if the famous Eastern Pharos from outside falls here, I believe everyone will be shocked. By that time, the entire world will belong to us!” The Countess laughed triumphantly.

Vigilante A did not say anything. He merely gave them a deep look before speeding away.

The System never got angry. It would only make the most suitable judgment. Since its current attack method was useless, it would not waste time.
