Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 725

Chapter 725 – God-rank Army

Standing calmly in front of the Processing Machine was Zhao Hai. He looked at the machine as it swallowed up the materials on the ground, the gold coins on his inventory a million coins less. Then the machine started its timer.

This was the second time that he was making a God-rank potion. Because of this, he was now quite familiar with the process. The only thing he needed to do was wait, when the time comes, Shue's clones would also become 9th ranks.

One must say that Zhao Hai was very lucky in having Shue as his subordinate. Shue's cloning ability was just too formidable, it was basically a one-man army. Now that he can drink another God-rank potion, his clones would now become 9th rank as well. This thought was just too scary.

At this moment, Zhao Hai was worried whether Shue's God-rank clones would also be able to establish a Domain. If they did, then it would be very good for Zhao Hai's side.

The timer beeped down unceasingly. Zhao Hai couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he said, "I hope our time is enough."

The one who heard him was the nearby Berry, she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Feel relieved, Brother Hai, we certainly have enough time."

Shue looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, rest assured, this Shue will definitely be of use, definitely." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and patted Shue on the shoulder as he said, "Everything will be alright, there's no need to worry about it too much. You will certainly be a huge help. In the future, you and your clones would be part of the main army. A man that can turn into a thousand would be terrifying in the battlefield. Hahaha. The Divine Race wouldn't come soon, but even if they do, we still don't need to be afraid of them. To be honest, I want the Divine Race to come sooner, I really wanted to see how strong they are." Shue nodded, but his eyes were still firm. Then Shue looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, can I ask you for one thing?"

Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled and said, "Say it, there's no need to be too polite to me." Shue nodded and then said, "Young Master, can you promote Shun next time? Out of all the people on our side, Shun is the most compatible to be my partner in the battlefield. But if the Young Master has any plans, then you don't have to consider my request."

Zhao Hai laughed, and then he patted Shue on the shoulder and said, "Hahaha, I thought that it was something serious. Don't worry, focus on having your clones become God-rank first. After that happens, then your Young Master would help Shun become 9th rank." Shue was overjoyed by Zhao Hai's reply, he quickly replied, "Thank you, Young Master." Zhao Hai patter his shoulder once more and said, "Alright, let's head back in. Let's drink a couple of cups. We've been too busy these days, we need to relax."

Zhao Hai's heart felt warm after listening to Shue's request. Shue hadn't asked for anything ever since he followed him. This was the first time that Shue made a request, but it actually wasn't for himself, instead, it was for a friend. After becoming God-rank, Shue didn't forget about Shun. This made Zhao Hai very happy.

After they arrived at the Space, Zhao Hai made Meg prepared several dishes. Then he sat with Shue in the dining room while having a few cups of liquor. On the other hand, in every city in the Buddha Empire, people who had been placed on the list have emerged to be 8th ranks, some even got promoted to 9th.

These 8th ranks can be promoted later on. As for these 9th ranks, Zhao Hai asked Cai'er to observe their current actions.

A 9th rank expert was a significant person in the Continent. Although these people were elected, it was still difficult to be assured that they won't do anything excessive upon becoming 9th rank. But if they do, then Zhao Hai would definitely be impolite.

Besmir was now 9th rank. Aside from him, there were also quite a number of people who had become 9th rank in Rising Sun City. These people included Elves, Beastmen, and Dwarves.

As the number of 9th ranks increase, Besmir's mood had become better and better. A lot of 9th ranks meant that Rising Sun City's fighting strength was strong. For Besmir, this was truly a good thing.

Additionally, among these 9th ranks were Elves, Beastmen, and Dwarves, races who found it hard to upgrade their strength. However, once these people become 9th ranks, their strengths would be a lot more than any Human experts.

Besmir's current emotion wasn't unique, it had also propagated all throughout the continent. In the Buddha Empire, 9th ranks started appearing in each of the cities. This caused the people to have their morale increase.

However, although these people had become strong 9th ranks, nobody dared to act arrogantly. Earlier, there were some people who had become 9th ranks who thought that they were already great. Zhao Hai might not care about normal arrogance, but when these people started to do evil things, Zhao Hai immediately sent and undead to seize this person. After that, the undead didn't hesitate to execute this person in front of the whole city before turning the person into an undead.

Zhao Hai's lightning-fast methods truly frightened everyone. This caused the recently promoted 9th ranks to behave themselves.

Two days had already passed by, Zhao Hai and the others were in front of the Processing Machine. The timer on the machine was quickly approaching zero. When the timer turned zero and the beeping stopped, the God-ranked potion immediately appeared in front of them.

Zhao Hai didn't hesitate as he took the potion and handed it over to Shue, "Shue, drink this immediately. I reckon that the Divine Race would be here soon. We need all the strength we can muster."

Shue didn't waste any words, he immediately took the potion and downed it in one go. This time, Shue didn't need to stabilize himself. His body just shone a blue light for a moment, then after the light vanished, Shue turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master." Then another Shue appeared on his side. Zhao Hai can sense the aura of a God-rank expert on this clone of Shue.

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Good, good. Right, does he have a Domain?"

Shue nodded, "He has, Young Master. After all, he is another version of me. The only reason he isn’t' God-rank before was because there wasn't enough energy in the first potion. Now that I had enough, my clones' immediately got improved. He will have everything that I have, including my Domain."

Zhao Hai felt great happiness, "Great. That's fantastic! Hahaha. I really am envious of your divergent ability. Good, good. Let's go out and see when the Divine Race would arrive. I can't wait to see their expressions." Then Zhao Hai took Berry and Shue out of the Space.

The three of them went out and arrived inside Upper Bank City.. This city was also one of the big cities in the Buddha Empire. But now, the place was completely deserted. It was actually part of Zhao Hai's initial plan for defense, however, due to the sudden appearance of the Divine Race, they had no choice but to vacate this city.

Zhao Hai wanted to have his first clash with the Divine Race in this city. This was because of its good position as well as it being the first city to be encountered if one were to come from the Radiant Empire. It would be impossible for the Divine Race to miss this city.

The reason Zhao Hai was assured was because he knew how arrogant the Divine Race were. From the way they act to the way they talk, these Divine Race people would definitely place their crosshairs on Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai just killed the Pope in front of them while also taking three of their divine artifacts. In this situation, Zhao Hai doesn't need to go to the Divine Race, the Divine Race would be the ones who will go to him.

After all these considerations, Zhao Hai felt relieved as he waited inside the city. He must teach the Divine Race a lesson, let them understand that the Ark Continent wasn't their own backyard. They couldn't just take a walk here whenever they wanted. The Ark Continent wasn't their pig pen, and its residents aren't their farm animals. If they wanted to conquer the Ark Continent, then they would need to show real skill. Even if they went all out, the end result was still completely unknown.

Originally, Upper Bank city held a population of a million people. Additionally, this was also the closest Buddha Empire city from the Radiant Empire. It itself held great strategic significance. Because of this, the walls of the city were quite thick. Moreover, the city was also protected by a magic formation. Although this formation was nothing in Zhao Hai's eyes, it still proved how valuable this city was.

After Zhao Hai's group of three appeared in the city, Laura and the others followed them out. These days, the women were very busy inside the Space, they went out this time to taste some outside air.

Even if the environment inside the Space was very good, staying for too long inside it would also make people depressed. A change of scenery was always good.

The group stood on top of the city wall, looking towards the distant Radiant Empire. At this moment, Lizzy opened her mouth, "The population of this city used to be 1 million. Now it had turned into a ghost town. Sigh, Human affairs are truly unstable."

Zhao Hai turned to Lizzy before looking at the empty city streets, "This is already good. If you go to the Radiant Empire, not only would you see a dead atmosphere, you would also see dead bodies strewn around. Seeing all those dead people just on the streets would make you gasp, that scene was just too terrifying." Lizzy felt her complexion pale, she couldn't speak. At this time, Shue turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, we should see whether we can make good use of this city's magic formation. Although it can only be used for defense, it is much better than nothing."

Chapter 726 – Crystal Stone

Zhao Hai looked at how big the city was. With this size, it was impossible for it to not have a defensive magic formation. However, the capabilities of this formation was too limited when facing a God-rank expert.

But this didn't mean that formations were useless. On the contrary, magic formations came in many types. Moreover, the size of the formation also needed to be taken into consideration.

The defensive capabilities of these magic formations mainly depend on the crystal stones used. If the energy inside these crystals was formidable, then the formation would be formidable as well. If the energy of the crystal was too low, then the magic formation would also be weak.

The issue with this was the fact that the Ark Continent rarely had big crystal stones. The current crystal stones on the Ark Continent couldn't even block the attacks of 9th rank experts, much less God-ranks.

Naturally, Shue knew about all of this before he told his idea to Zhao Hai. After seeing that Zhao Hai was considering it, he added, "Young Master, have forgotten about the crystal stones that you discovered back in the Northern Icefield? Those crystals were very full. You can try and see what effects those would have on the city's magic formation.

Zhao Hai stared, then he patted his head and said, "I actually forgot about those. Good, then I'll try it immediately. Shue, you take care with the installation of those crystals while I head out of the city. After those crystals are installed, you go and feel the energy of the formation, see if it can produce sufficient energy for our use. Record all of your findings."

Shue understood what Zhao Hai meant, if this experiment ends with a success, then its impact for the continent would surely be huge.

Shue nodded as he made his clones appear. Zhao Hai waved his hand, withdrawing a pile of crystal stones and gave them to Shue. The clones immediately took the crystals and placed them alongside the city's magic formation.

Zhao Hai was now outside the city. He quietly observed the situation to see if the crystals would be useful in protecting the city.

Not long after Zhao Hai went out, a layer of protective shield covered the city. This shield wasn't the same as what Zhao Hai saw before. In the past, the protective shield that Zhao Hai saw had a pale yellow color. On the other hand, the shield in front of his was actually blue in color, one could even see some ripples occurring here and there.

Zhao Hai stared at this protective shield, he couldn't help but place his hand on its surface. It didn't take too long before a chilling cold air was felt. Zhao Hai gawked, but he wasn't surprised. After all, the crystals that he put out were ice crystal stones.

Then Zhao Hai established his Domain, he waved his hand as a giant palm appeared. The palm made a fist as it attacked the protective shield.

The result surprised Zhao hai, the shield actually wasn't destroyed. Conversely, the the protective shield blasted out a cool air, freezing the big hand.

Zhao Hai didn't think that this protective shield would have this effect. He shook his Domain and attacked the protective shield with full force. The protective shield rippled, but it wasn't broken. Moreover, Zhao Hai can feel the waves of cold air transmitted from his Domain. This chilling wave was very strong. If a Demigod were to be careless, then they would definitely be injured by this shield.

Zhao Hai nodded and then retrieved his Domain. After that, he turned to Shue as the latter dissolved the magic formation.

After Zhao Hai returned to the City, he immediately went to Shue and said, "What did you get? How much energy did my attack take from the crystals?"

Shue promptly replied, "Young Master, the crystals are very formidable. Your attack took almost no energy away from the crystals. Moreover, I discovered that as long as one injects energy into the crystal, it can recharge itself indefinitely."

Zhao Hai was shaken,then he immediately took a new crystal stone from the Space and poured his energy into it. Strangely, no matter how hard he injects his energy, he couldn't do it. Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he turned to Shue and said, "Shue, give me one of those used crystals."

Shue nodded, then he took a piece of crystal and gave it to Zhao Hai. Upon receiving the crystal, Zhao Hai immediately tried to inject his energy into it. This time, it didn't take too much effort for the crystal to accept energy. Before long, the crystal was filled to the brim. Zhao Hai made some calculations, the energy that he had injected was the same energy it took for an ordinary attack. It seems like the magic formation didn't consume too much energy and it can also be used repeatedly.

After thinking up to this, Zhao Hai took a used crystal and then gave it to Laura, "Laura, try pouring your energy into this crystal."

There was a reason why Zhao Hai did this. After becoming God-rank, one's energy would undergo a change, it would become much purer than before. Moreover, it would also lose its original attribute, it was simply pure energy.

Such pure energy can surely power a crystal. However, the general strength of the continent only involves 9th ranks. One must know that 9th ranks still had their attributes. Laura's attribute was fire, which happened to be the exact opposite element to the ice crystal. Zhao Hai wanted to see whether Laura can pour her energy to charge the crystal.

Laura tried it for a moment before she shook her head and said, "Brother Hai, it's no good. I can't pour anything into the crystal." Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Megan and said, "Megan, you try."

Megan nodded, then she received the stone from Laura and then tried to pour energy into it. She didn't expect that she would be successful. Before long, the crystal was filled. Megan turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Elder Brother Hai, I can pour my energy into it. The crystal has been filled."

Zhao Hai nodded, then took another used crystal and gave it to Meg, having her try. In the end, Meg was unable to pour her energy inside. Zhao Hai can now affirm that the crystal would only attract energies of the same attribute or God-rank energy. Other attributes were no good.

Zhao Hai turned his head to Megan and said, "Megan, how much energy did it take you to fill the crystal up?"

Megan recalled for a moment and said, "Not that much, approximately about 1% of my total energy. I can recover it after a while."

Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled faintly and said, "That' good. Let's see how those Divine Race fellows attack me this time."

At this moment, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, are you planning to have these crystals power the magic formations in the continent?"

Zhao Hai nodded, "You should be aware of the situation regarding the major cities in the continent. Aside from our help, they really don't have much in terms of defense against the Divine Race. If the Divine Race decided to cause large scale trouble, then the continent would surely be placed into turmoil. If our rear gets chaotic, then our job in the frontline would be affected."

Laura understood what Zhao Hai meant. The present situation was like this. Even if the Divine Race were yet to appear, they still needed to make sure that everyone was completely safe.

Iron Hammer said that the Divine Realm was much different compared to the Ark Continent. Newborn children in the Divine Realm were already 8th ranks. When they grow up, they would freely enter 9th rank. Upon cultivation, they can easily reach God-rank. This was a terrifying thing to think of.

Think about it, a plane that allows the existence of God-ranks, even if the amount of this God-ranks wasn't a lot, they would still add up to a terrifying amount. Because of this, Zhao Hai needed to prepare in dealing with the Divine Race.

Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, since these crystals can replace ordinary crystals, then would they work on magic cannons as well? Will the power of the cannons increase?"

When he heard Laura, Zhao Hai stared, then he immediately nodded and said, "This is a good idea. Let's go and make some experiments." Then the group's figures vanished as they used the Space to transfer to the Lyon Empire.

No matter what, Zhao Hai was still the Emperor of the Lyon Empire. Doing his experiments here would certainly have no issues.

Although Zhao Hai was the in-name Emperor of the Lyon Empire, the one running everything here was actually Evan. The entire Lyon Empire knew that Zhao Hai was busy in the frontline, battling with the Demons and the Divine Race. Because of this, the Empire followed Evan's instructions.

Fortunately, Evan had ruled the Purcell Duchy, so he had great experience in management. He knew what to do with great Nobles, therefore, there weren't much troubles in the Lyon Empire. At the same time, these Great Nobles didn't dare to cause any trouble. Everyone in the continent knew about how powerful Zhao Hai was. If they drag Zhao Hai behind, then they would definitely suffer.

As soon as Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the Lyon Empire's Imperial Palace, they immediately went towards the Great Hall. When the Great Nobles saw Zhao Hai, all of them immediately bowed and said, "We have seen His Majesty. Long live!"

Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the Nobles and said, "I have something I need to do. Go find me a quiet place, it must be very spacious. Prepare some magic cannons as well. Remember to make this thing known to as few people as possible. Find people who are trustworthy and make them help out."

Although these Nobles didn't understand what Zhao Hai wanted to do, all of them still nodded and prepared everything. Evan looked at Zhao Hai, confused, then he asked, "Little Hai, what's happening? Did you discover something?"

Zhao Hai nodded, then he retold his discovery of the wondrous properties of the crystal. He also took out a crystal and handed it over to Evan. This crystal had great energy within, however, Evan can't feel the energy when he held it in his hand. There wasn't any cold and chilling sensation when holding the crystal, but Evan can see the formidable energy inside, it can truly wound a Demigod expert. This crystal was truly unusual.

Chapter 727 – Experiment

There was a valley not too far from the Lyon Empire's capital. This valley held no specialties, only rocks, nobody lived here. This place was called Stone Valley.

It was a different day in the generally empty Stone Valley. In this virtually unnoticed place came many people. Moreover, these people were the most influential personages in the Lyon Empire. A single cough from one of them would be able to move an entire Lyon Empire army.

Why would powerful people come to a place where birds won't even defecate in? Along with these group of people were the cavalry of the Lyon Empire. These soldiers were carefully selected so there wasn't any problem with them.

Zhao Hai came in using an ordinary carriage this time, he didn't want anyone to know that he was here. This time, he came to do some experiments, so he brought ten magic cannons for the tests.

The soldiers in the valley quickly set up the magic cannons before they went to the sides. Zhao Hai didn't dare have the soldiers operate the cannon, he was afraid that accidents would happen, killing someone in the process.

Zhao Hai went towards a magic cannon and inspected it carefully. This magic cannon was the most advanced and powerful weapon in the continent. But this magic cannon didn't look like the cannons that were seen back on earth, it looked more like a satellite receiver rather than a cannon. The power of this magic cannon depended on the crystal stone. People would place the crystal in the middle of the cannon, then they would activate the magic formation to gather the energy inside the crystal. Then the energy would pass through the edges of the cannon and reflected onto a small plate in front of the cannon. This metal plate also held a magic formation in it, when sufficient energy gets gathered, then the cannon would proceed to fire.

The fired beam would then be sent towards the target, reaching the energy level equal to the crystal used. However, it is a pity that the crystal stones used to fire these magic cannons were of inferior quality, making its power quite weak. This was the reason why magic cannons weren't used in the battle between the Demons and the Divine Race. But this time, the crystal that Zhao Hai had brought was not the same as those inferior ones. With the high energy contained within them, Zhao Hai prohibited soldiers from manning the cannons lest an accident would happen. The cannons were operated by Zhao Hai's undead. At this moment, Zhao Hai took out a piece of crystal and handed it over to the undead who then placed it on the middle of the cannon and then pressed the activation button.

Not long after the button has been pressed, the entire magic cannon suddenly shone a blue light. The blue light went on to circle the magic formation before being focused on the metal plate on the middle. Upon arriving at the small plate, a beam of blue light immediately shot out.

The blue light  looked the same as a laser beam. The light penetrated the surface of the mountain but to Zhao Hai and the others' surprise, nothing happened. There wasn't an explosion nor were pieces of rock being thrown around, everything was as normal as they were before.

Zhao Hai stared, then his figure moved and approached the wall of the mountain. He wanted to know what happened to the wall, and he couldn't believe that the blue light did nothing. Just as Zhao Hai arrived by the wall, he immediately felt a chilling cold air. The cold was quite strong that Zhao Hai could already feel that he was in world of snow and ice just a meter away from the wall. Although there were no changes on the wall, it was evident that the soil around it had turned into permafrost.

Zhao Hai immediately dug into the mountain wall. Only after digging through five meters of rock did the mountain return to being warm. In other words, the chilling effect had actually penetrated through five meters of solid mountain wall.

This was a good result. Three meters would already be good enough, but it actually managed to make it five. From this trial, it can be seen how powerful the magic cannon attack was.

Zhao Hai made some calculations. If this beam hit a 9th rank, then they would certainly turn to ice in mere seconds. God-ranked experts would also feel afraid of this cannon attack.

The others who had gathered here were also surprised by what happened. They knew about the power of a magic cannon. Even 100 magic cannons wouldn't be able to exhibit this effect.

Zhao Hai nodded, then he returned to the cannons. He made the undead continually fire the magic cannon. He  wanted to see how many attacks it would take before the crystal ran out.

Before long, blue light flashes repeatedly until the crystal had been exhausted. Zhao Hai counted and saw that it would take 2318 shots before a full crystal gets depleted. 2318 Demigod-level attacks, this wasn't a small number.

Zhao Hai took the empty crystal out and examined it. The crystal was fully transparent, no energy was seen inside.

Zhao Hai turned his head and called an 8th rank expert over to input his energy into the empty crystal. The 8th rank quickly complied and poured some energy into the crystal. The crystal actually turned red from the original white, evidently showing that the energy placed inside was of the fire element.

Zhao Hai nodded, he can now understand what this white crystal was for. After a crystal was used up, then one could place energy of whatever element inside it. However, if there was still a sliver of ice element energy inside, then it would be impossible to place other types of energy into it.

However, Zhao Hai still had a question. Would this crystal be recharged over and over? Can it be used infinitely? This seemed to be unlikely.

Zhao Hai waited before the 8th rank completely used all of his energy up. Then he took the crystal and examined it. Zhao Hai found out that an 8th rank expert can only fill up to a fifth of the total capacity of a crystal. It seems like it needs five 8th rank experts in order to completely filly up one empty magic crystal. Zhao Hai recorded all of his findings, these would definitely be useful in the future.

Zhao Hai didn't fill the crystal up to full. Instead, he handed it over to the undead to use it. This time, the magic cannon fired a beam of red light. When this red light got in contact with the mountain wall, a loud explosion was immediately heard. A huge hole was blown out of the mountain face, ten meters across and three meters deep.

Such might wasn't small, but Zhao Hai's purpose this time was to consume the energy inside this crystal, so he didn't really care much about it. After having the undead fire the magic cannon and consume the energy inside the crystal, Zhao Hai placed a bit of energy inside the crystal and fired it again. This process repeated for ten times, after the tenth firing, the crystal finally cracked, rendering it useless.

Zhao Hai recorded this result and then he turned his attention to the magic cannon. He was quite sure that the magic cannons  would also wear off. After being used multiple times, these cannons should become broken. Zhao Hai wanted to see at which point the cannons would break down.

Zhao Hai inspected the current state of the cannon. Although it can still be used, cracks were already seen on its surface, it seems like its life was soon to be used up.

Zhao Hai nodded and then traded the magic cannon for another one. The experiments continued, one cannon after another. In the end, Zhao Hai found out that magic cannons can fire 2000 to 2500 times.

Upon completing his experiments, Zhao Hai returned to the Lyon Empire's Imperial Palace. Then when they arrived at the Great Hall, he turned to the Great Nobles and said, "I came back this time to see the capabilities of these crystals. These stones have been acquired by me back when I was exploring the Northern Icefield. The energy inside these crystals are very formidable, you should have seen it on the magic cannons earlier. The usage of these crystals aren't limited to magic cannons, they can power protective formations as well. When I return to the frontlines, I shall leave some of these crystals to you. Every instruction for its operation and properties shall be written carefully. Have these crystals delivered to the cities in the Lyon Empire for defensive purposes. If I were to discover that someone has been hoarding these crystals, then I will definitely be impolite."

These Nobles in the Lyon Empire were aware about how precious these crystals were. But they also needed to take Zhao Hai's threat into consideration. If Zhao Hai deemed them to be enemies, then they would be in opposition to the entire continent. With Zhao Hai's status, nobody would dare disregard his orders. Because of this, every single Noble replied, "Your will shall be done, Your Majesty."

Zhao Hai nodded, "Remember, only hand these crystals over to people that you absolutely trust. Take care of them extremely well, there shouldn't be any mistakes. When the Divine Race comes, these crystals would be extremely helpful in dealing with them.

The Nobles issued a sound of affirmation. Zhao Hai nodded, then he took out several crystals and handed them over to the Nobles present.

After completing all of these, Zhao Hai turned around and returned to the Space to head towards the Rosen Empire. Since he already did his experiments, he can immediately hand the crystals over to the major Empires. He introduced their uses and properties and how they would be used to resist the Demons and the Divine Race. With these crystals, ordinary people could now be assured of their safety inside the cities of the continent, this was an extremely good thing.
