The black flying saucer spacecraft transformed into a streak of light, rapidly piercing through Earth’s atmosphere and entering outer space.
Inside the spacecraft control room,
Luo Feng stood emotionlessly in front of the control panel screen. Slightly behind him stood his servant warrior, ‘Difan’. The alloy battle suits they wore reflected a unique luster under the lighting of the control room.
“How long until they arrive?” Luo Feng asked the control panel screen.
A small demon avatar appeared on the screen: “At the speed the D3-class spacecraft is maintaining, it will take approximately 8 hours and 49 minutes to reach Earth.”
“8 hours and 49 minutes?” Luo Feng smiled. “Then we’ll go meet them!”
“Affirmative!”
The entire spacecraft immediately entered acceleration mode. Although the acceleration was astonishing, the automatic gravity regulation system inside the spacecraft ensured that the gravity within the cabin remained at a constant Earth surface gravity.
The spacecraft soared outward from the solar system!
Meanwhile, the former head of the Norlanshan family, ‘Dewen,’ and Norlanshan’s most outstanding disciple, ‘Bakarlo,’ were aboard a D3-class spacecraft heading toward Earth.
The distance between the two vessels rapidly decreased!
…
Inside the control room of the D3-class spacecraft, which was shaped like a streamlined axe,
“Brother, did you inform the teacher?” Bakarlo, fully cloaked in a black robe, asked coldly.
“Yes. The clan patriarch was very pleased to learn we have reached the solar system,” Dewen’s handsome face showed a hint of a smile. “He also said he would remain online in the virtual universe network, waiting for our good news.”
“Hmph.”
Bakarlo nodded.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
A shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the control room, causing Dewen’s expression to change.
“Warning! Warning! Navigation detection systems have identified a spacecraft approaching us! Approaching us!” The loud, sharp voice echoed through the control room.
“What!” Dewen’s face paled.
“A spacecraft?” Bakarlo was also shocked.
Space was too vast. In the vastness of space, a spacecraft was like a speck of dust. Bakarlo and Dewen could not possibly spot a hundred-meter-diameter vessel millions of kilometers away with the naked eye.
…
Inside the flying saucer spacecraft’s control room, Luo Feng calmly stared at the control panel screen.
“Activate the railgun,” Luo Feng ordered.
“Understood!” The demon avatar Babata on the screen immediately began the activation process.
Immediately, the upper front section of the spacecraft’s hull opened. Beneath the energy shield covering the hull, the alloy surface automatically recessed, revealing a menacing six-meter-wide cannon barrel. The barrel slowly extended forward, protruding beyond the energy shield of the spacecraft.
Beep—
The cannon’s muzzle began subtle changes. Deep within the barrel, a faint glow appeared, and the surrounding space seemed to subtly distort.
“Energy activation countdown: 60, 59, 58, 57…10, 9, 8, 7…3, 2, 1! Activation complete!”
The voice from the control panel echoed through the control room.
“Babata, seize the opportunity. Destroy it in one shot!” Luo Feng commanded.
“Haha, leave it to me!” The little demon on the screen was clearly delighted.
The railgun!
This was one of the gifts Luo Feng had prepared for the Norlanshan family. Since he had previously detected and confirmed it was a D3-class spacecraft, over the past two years Luo Feng had spent a massive sum—260 billion cosmic credits—on acquiring a D5-class railgun.
A D5-class railgun!
Once technology weapons reach Class C, they are classified as restricted. They are difficult to obtain through normal channels, and their prices are exorbitant. Although such weapons might be cheaper during upcoming auctions, Luo Feng couldn’t afford to wait.
Therefore—
He had gone through the super company ‘Qiwuzhai,’ which had strong connections, spending 260 billion cosmic credits to purchase this D5-class railgun!
For a galaxy, such as the Milky Way, a price of 260 billion cosmic credits would already be considered high.
This illustrates just how much money Luo Feng had spent! This was only possible because Luo Feng had previously made massive purchases at ‘Qiwuzhai,’ prompting them to help him acquire this restricted D5-class railgun. Without those prior ‘massive purchases,’ Qiwuzhai would never have helped him obtain such a restricted weapon.
This massive spending…
Was for the precious materials Luo Feng had purchased to cultivate the ‘Benzun Tian Di’ technique!
The money spent on purchasing those materials was even more than what he spent on the D5-class railgun!!!
Many Gold-Horned Giant Beasts never managed to cultivate beyond the first layer of ‘Benzun Tian Di’ even by the time of their deaths. It can be seen how costly the cultivation of ‘Benzun Tian Di’ was! Gold-Horned Giant Beasts were usually Sovereign-level beings with three avatars! Therefore, Luo Feng, through the human world purchasing those materials, naturally understood how to create a ‘human avatar’ to buy metals in human society.
With their ‘Sovereign-level’ strength, their wealth was immense, yet they could generally cultivate only to the first layer!
The cultivation of ‘Benzun Tian Di’ allowed the Gold-Horned Giant Beast to reduce its body size, while the density of bones and muscles increased drastically, boosting their power. Generally, the younger the beast, the slightly easier it was to cultivate. It was similar to how human children could more easily develop flexibility—the stronger the physical body, the harder it was to reduce its size.
Therefore…
A cosmic-level Gold-Horned Giant Beast had a relatively lower threshold for cultivation. Even so, the vast amount of precious materials required to fully cultivate the first layer still left Luo Feng missing two types.
These materials were extremely expensive and exceedingly rare!
Luo Feng had made so many massive purchases at ‘Qiwuzhai’ for these precious materials that Qiwuzhai naturally placed great importance on such a super customer! Thus, they were willing to help him acquire that D5-class railgun!
“Railgun!”
“Fire!”
Babata’s excited roar echoed through the control room.
…
In the vastness of space,
The D3-class spacecraft had already detected the approaching black flying saucer spacecraft.
“It’s a C9-class spacecraft,” Dewen frowned slightly. “Can we shake it off?”
“Master, we are heading toward Earth, and it is coming from Earth’s direction. No matter how we change course, they can easily close in on us. We cannot shake them off!” The intelligent light brain’s voice came from the control panel screen. “Moreover, changing our speed also requires a significant amount of time.”
Although a spacecraft could reach light speed, it required a long period of continuous acceleration to achieve that ultimate speed limit of the original universe.
Changing direction or decelerating couldn’t be done instantly.
This made it very easy for the enemy to close in!
“If we don’t go to Earth, we could shake it off,” the intelligent light brain suggested.
“Ignore that spacecraft!” Bakarlo said coldly. “A C9-class spacecraft cannot affect us.”
“This spacecraft must belong to Luo Feng’s forces,” Dewen frowned. “Now they probably already know we have arrived. The clan patriarch ordered us to secretly obtain the Mechanical Race’s spacecraft.”
“Since we’ve already been discovered, there’s no need to hide anymore,” Bakarlo said coldly. “Continue heading toward Earth.”
Just seconds after Bakarlo and Dewen finished their argument,
“Boom!”
An almost imperceptible railgun shockwave, leaving a faint ripple in space, struck the D3-class spacecraft at light speed. With no preparation and under the light-speed railgun attack… the D3-class spacecraft’s navigation detection system signal transmission was also at light speed!
At the very instant the D3-class spacecraft received the detection signal, the railgun blast struck the spacecraft!
“Crash!”
The streamlined, massive axe-shaped spacecraft instantly had a large hole torn through its side, piercing straight through the entire belly of the spacecraft and exiting from the lower side of the opposite side. This caused the spacecraft, still flying at high speed, to instantly break apart, sending a large amount of alloy debris flying in all directions, adding much cosmic debris to this part of the solar system.
From the section of the wreckage that contained the control room, two figures quickly flew out.
Floating in space,
They were Dewen and Bakarlo.
“How is this possible?” Dewen’s eyes were wide with shock.
“After being struck by cannon fire, what’s so unbelievable?” Bakarlo, still shrouded in darkness, bellowed furiously.
“A light-speed long-range weapon exceeding D3-class! This must be a restricted-level weapon, priced equivalently to fifth-tier mentalic or primal weapons! Even Sovereign-level warriors generally wouldn’t waste money buying a D-class railgun, which is inefficient!” Dewen shook his head, his face filled with disbelief. “How could there be a D-class railgun on Earth that even Sovereigns would hesitate to buy?”
For Sovereign-level warriors, although they could afford D-class railguns, they rarely did. Because a Sovereign’s casual strike could already exceed the power of a D-class railgun.
As for those without Sovereign-level strength, very few could afford D-class railguns!
“It’s impossible!” Dewen’s face was filled with anxiety.
“Stop worrying about that. Without a spacecraft… it will take us over half a year to fly to Earth!” Bakarlo transmitted coldly.
Boom~~~
A streak of light rapidly approached from the distance.
“Dewen, the enemy is here!” Bakarlo urgently transmitted.
“Huh?” Dewen looked up.
A black flying saucer-shaped spacecraft rapidly approached, but strangely… the spacecraft continuously decelerated and finally stopped merely hundreds of kilometers away from them. At the same time, the spacecraft’s hatch automatically opened, and a figure quickly flew out from the hatch, rushing toward them.
Hundreds of kilometers—this figure arrived in the blink of an eye!
This was a man dressed in black battle armor, bald with thick lips, appearing simple and unassuming.
“So fast!” Dewen was shocked.
“Boom~~”
A silver blade of light tore through the void, moving so fast that Dewen, at merely Cosmic Level Sixth Stage, couldn’t dodge in time. His eyes widened in terror.
“Crash!”
Head exploded!
The second-generation head of the Norlanshan family, ‘Dewen Norlanshan,’ perished!
The silver blade of light barely slowed, directly sweeping toward the black-robed figure Bakarlo.
