This was a considerably large Space Fragment. Although Chen Yu couldn't precisely determine its size, the sight of at least a few hundred meters high mountain peak inside the Space Fragment made him realize he had hit the jackpot.
This mountain peak must have once been an island rising from the seafloor, as breakage marks could still be seen at the base of the mountain, with traces of sandy beaches remaining around it. The mountain took on an L-shape, with a main peak several hundred meters high and branches extending out for several kilometers on either side.
Between the two branches lay a not-so-small plain valley that looked to be formed by river alluviation, and even a dried-up riverbed was visible on the plain.

However, there was no longer water on this land; the soil had long since cracked, and all plants and animals had long since perished, leaving no trace.
Because there was no water or air, the entire space was dead silent and had also lost all temperature. Even without entering the Space Fragment, Chen Yu could feel the cold that had frozen everything. Moreover, due to the lack of water, the space only had the frozen black and yellow soil without a hint of white ice or snow.
There was nothing left here, only death and cold.
Although it seemed quite desolate, having such a large piece of land was already more than enough for Chen Yu, at least he didn't need to worry about finding land to fill his Necromantic Space.
Even though the Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium stated that necromantic spaces could be built by obtaining soil from the Earth Elemental Plane, creating a mountain this large was not something that a Certified Necromancer like himself could handle—he could at most create a small mound, which was impressive enough if it was big enough for his Mage Tower.
Now that he had the land ready, all Chen Yu needed to do was to draw in air from the Wind Elemental Plane, secure enough water from the Water Elemental Plane, and bring in enough flames from the Fire Elemental Plane to warm up the entire space.
The guy was just an apprentice who had barely grasped a hint of supernatural power and hadn't even heard of the Tsuchimikado Family. He was simply someone who could be dealt with easily.
Although he had somehow acquired a smattering of knowledge about transcendental beings and possessed slightly more power than the average person, at best he was only capable of strutting around on the streets, just a beginner apprentice, not someone Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu took seriously.
"Nothing but a street thug, Yasai, cut him down," Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu ordered his Shikigami with an air of disdain, but in reality, he had already tensed his muscles, warily surveying his surroundings.
Although only one hooligan had appeared before him, the heavy air around was telling Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu that this was merely a small scouting pawn.
As a sword master from the Edo Period, the number of people Yasai had killed might not match those who found killing as common as eating during the Warring States Period, but his prowess still made him worthy of his title. With just a motion of supporting his katana with his hand, a whip-like flash of the blade shot towards the hooligan's head, intent on beheading him in one strike.
However, just as Yasai's sword was about to hit the hoodlum, an arm suddenly stretched out from behind him, grabbed the hoodlum by the shoulder, and instantly pulled back, barely avoiding Yasai's blade.
Despite this, the hooligan's shirtfront and the gold chain around his neck were severed by Yasai's blade, leaving a bloody slash across his chest.
"You resort to killing without a word of disagreement, isn't the Tsuchimikado Family a bit too arrogant? Tokyo is still a society under the rule of law, after all!" said an old man dressed in traditional white hunting attire and garbed like an Onmyoji in a sinister tone, appearing behind the hoodlum with one hand still resting on the hooligan's shoulder, obviously the one who had pulled him back.
"Since you're aware that Tokyo is still a society under the rule of law, coming so blatantly to pry into someone else's private property, it seems you're knowingly breaking the law," Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu retorted, although he had no expectation that a few words would make the old man retreat. He was only trying to stand on moral high ground.
"Heh heh heh, be that as it may, this area is the Bluebird Group's turf. With you making such a commotion on our turf, shouldn't you give the Bluebird Group an explanation?" Pushing the hoodlum aside, the old man challenged Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu, "Causing trouble on the Bluebird Group's territory, have you paid your protection fee?"
