Luo Feng hovered in the starry cosmos, his presence stirring the vast expanse. 216 massive main vines, each stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, writhed like celestial serpents, spiraling madly around the central assassin. Innumerable tendrils and branches joined the assault, entangling and crushing everything in their path. A branch of the Mo Yun Vine pressed the trigger of an E9-level laser cannon. A dazzling column of white light erupted, slamming into Keser. The intense heat charred the surrounding leaves, yet it failed to pierce Keser completely.
“E9-level laser cannon—it can kill an ordinary Sovereign Ninth Stage cultivator, but it certainly doesn’t guarantee the elimination of every Sovereign Ninth Stage peak expert,” Luo Feng was well aware of this.
The assassin must have been hiding for a long time to dare to strike within the Wulong Star Domain.
Once the attack began, it would surely shake the heavens and split the earth!
For the assassin to be killed off so easily—Luo Feng himself wouldn’t believe it.
“Come on, show me what else you’ve got. Let’s see how far I have to push my battle plan to deal with you,” Luo Feng stared at the figure obscured by the white light.
Boom~~
Keser’s face turned pale as he slammed into a mass of Mo Yun Vine branches behind him.
“Mo Yun, kill him,” Luo Feng commanded.
Ssssh~~
Innumerable vines crisscrossed through space, surging toward Keser like a storm. Keser knew full well—Mo Yun Vine was an extremely troublesome plant life. Many influential figures within human territory cultivated Mo Yun Vines to protect themselves. Their massive bodies and highly active cells made them terrifying.
Luo Feng’s Mo Yun Vine was of the highest quality.
It possessed a total of 216 main vines. At the Sovereign level, each main vine could extend up to 30,000 kilometers, with a diameter normally reaching 300 kilometers. Of course, it wasn’t necessary to extend them fully during battle. This high-grade Mo Yun Vine at the Sixth Stage of Sovereign was extremely tough. Even if attacked by a Ninth Stage Sovereign, the vine’s regeneration speed might surpass the damage inflicted.
“Ahh!!!”
Faced with the endless onslaught of vines, Keser’s face twisted in fury as he let out a wild roar.
“What are you screaming about before death?”
From a distance, Luo Feng stood in the starry void, watching calmly.
Suddenly—
“Boom boom boom~~~” An incomparably terrifying aura surged forth, like an ant encountering a divine dragon. It spread across the heavens, instantly altering Luo Feng’s expression. Simultaneously, a towering inferno erupted from Keser’s location, transforming that corner of the cosmos into a sea of fire. Countless vines and leaves were rapidly reduced to ashes.
Thick, elongated vines began to convulse and twist.
Mo Yun Vine sent a simple mental message to Luo Feng: So terrifying, so frightening, I can’t resist…
…
Centered around Keser, a radius of thirty kilometers was reduced to ash. Many of the Mo Yun Vine’s main trunks were severely damaged, unable to approach within thirty kilometers of Keser.
Endless flames raged across the cosmic expanse.
Within the fire stood two figures.
One was Keser, gravely wounded and frenzied. The other was the heart of the inferno itself. He stood twelve meters tall, clad in ancient black battle armor. The armor did not cover his entire body, leaving his arms exposed. His arms bore thick, fiery red body hair, and even his face was adorned with red fur.
His eyes burned like twin flames.
He!
The Eternal Flame Deity!
“No, an Eternal Deity!” Luo Feng, watching from afar in the starry void, stared at the immortal being amidst the endless flames. He felt the surging, oppressive might and the overwhelming Eternal force directly crushing down upon him like an endless weight—an Eternal force as heavy as a mountain pressing upon Luo Feng!
Under the pressure of the Eternal force, resistance was futile.
“Actually, an Eternal Deity! This assassin actually carries an Eternal Deity with him. He must have hidden the Eternal Deity within his inner world,” Luo Feng’s pupils constricted. “What kind of force could possibly infiltrate the Wulong Star Domain… My suspicions were correct. The true trump card of this assassin must be terrifying.”
And terrifying it was.
Terrifying enough to drive one mad.
An Eternal Deity!
No. 6 earned his rank as the top infiltrator among those hidden within the Wulong Star Domain precisely because he harbored an Eternal Deity within his inner world. This Eternal Deity had been controlled by the insect race after its soul was invaded. Once its identity was exposed, it barely escaped back to the insect race’s domain through divine nation teleportation.
Such controlled alien Eternal Deities were generally considered expendable—mere cannon fodder, weapons.
To place an Eternal Deity within an infiltrator’s inner world… to be deployed in a moment of crisis!
If one wished to obtain a ‘tech-based weapon’ capable of killing an Eternal Deity, the price would be astronomically high. However, a controlled alien Eternal Deity was far more cost-effective. Moreover, even a Sovereign wielding a tech-based weapon in battle would likely be outmatched by a true Eternal Deity.
This!
Was No. 6’s ultimate killing move, the decisive blow the insect race had prepared for Luo Feng!
“Longque King, come quickly! An internal member is using an Eternal Deity to assassinate me!” Luo Feng immediately connected to the Virtual Universe Network with his consciousness, sending an urgent message to Longque King, repeating it ten times in succession!
…
At that moment, Longque King was in a palace complex at the outermost edge of the Wulong Star Domain, engaged in business negotiations.
“Here lies the principal sum of ten million Hunyuan units for the merchandise. A tenth of that—which amounts to one million Hunyuan units—shall serve as a modest token of appreciation for your endeavors, King Longque,” spoke a bald elder, draped in resplendent black robes, his voice carrying an air of warmth and familiarity as he smiled.
“You wish to procure goods worth ten million Hunyuan units… that will not be an easy task,” the Dragon Sparrow King frowned. “You must understand that any transaction exceeding one million Hunyuan units cannot be approved by me alone.”
Because every transaction would be recorded in detail.
Who bought what, at what cost—it was all meticulously reviewed.
Thus, there was no way to bypass the system by dividing purchases. Not just anyone could make such transactions—one needed status and authority! Imagine someone attempting to split a ten-million Hunyuan purchase into ten separate one-million Hunyuan deals—such loopholes simply didn’t exist within the Five Powers: the Virtual Universe Company, the Axe Fighting Arena, and the like. Their accounting and auditing mechanisms were utterly stringent.
Anyone involved in serious embezzlement would face grave consequences.
“Longque King, we’ve known each other for over ten thousand epochs. This time, I’m seriously planning to forge a weapon. How about this… fifteen percent of the intermediary fee goes to you. As for how you negotiate with the other four leaders and how much you spend, that’s entirely up to you,” the black-robed bald old man’s eyes shimmered like the stars, speaking softly.
“Wait a moment.”
Longque King frowned, muttering to himself, “Who’s sending me ten emails in a row?”
He connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network and entered his palace in Thunder Island.
Standing within the palace, he lightly tapped the air, summoning a screen from nothingness. The screen displayed an email: “Longque King, come quickly! An internal member is using an Eternal Deity to assassinate me!”
Whoosh!
Longque King was shocked.
“Luofeng is being assassinated?” Longque King clicked open another screen, immediately pulling up the surveillance map of the entire Wulong Star Domain. He issued an order to the alert system: “Someone is attempting to assassinate within the Wulong Star Domain. Find out immediately!” Regardless of anything else, he first needed to determine the exact location to dispatch help. The alert system marked internal members as white dots and outsiders as red dots.
However, there were many people selecting goods internally, making it impossible to determine which red dot was Luo Feng. They had to rely on the location of any ongoing battle!
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
The alert system scanned all monitoring points across the Wulong Star Domain.
“No battle has occurred,” the alert system replied.
Longque King was momentarily stunned but quickly understood, immediately asking, “Is there any damaged monitoring point?”
“The instruments at monitoring points B2446-56453-13202-96233 have malfunctioned. B2446-56 has already departed to perform repairs 36 seconds ago,” the alert system replied. This slow response was actually due to the fact that only 4 seconds had passed since Luo Feng sent the email.
However, Longque King had opened the email slowly, compounded by the alert system’s sluggish reply, resulting in a 32-second delay.
“This must be it! This monitoring point area must be where the assassination is happening!” Longque King shouted urgently.
“Connecting to two guides,” the alert system automatically responded.
“I want you to send someone to rescue him immediately!” Longque King bellowed.
“Longque King, your authority is insufficient. The alert system must follow procedures,” the alert system continued connecting to the two guides who had previously accompanied Luo Feng at that monitoring point. For twenty seconds, it failed to establish a connection. Only then did it directly issue an order to a Cosmic Venerable.
This was the intelligence system!
Even artificial intelligences, like Babata, once given a command by their master, had to rigidly follow it without deviation.
The main control intelligence of the Wulong Star Domain’s alert system was the same. Certain protocols were set by the Five Powers collectively and had to be strictly followed.
Without rules, nothing could be accomplished.
The military had its regulations.
This alert system naturally had some rigid rules. Though seemingly inflexible, without such strict rules, management would descend into chaos, potentially causing far greater losses in the future. These rigid rules, even if they caused some damage, would keep the losses within an acceptable range.
“By the time a Cosmic Venerable arrives, it will have been 90 seconds. Luo Feng, I hope you can survive. If you die… the Eternal Deity won’t escape. Even if it escapes through divine nation teleportation, the spatial fluctuations left behind during teleportation will allow a Cosmic Venerable to determine its coordinates within 60 seconds after teleportation, ensuring revenge for your death,” Longque King thought grimly. “Now it all depends on how long you can hold out.”
…
Within the Wulong Star Domain.
The Eternal Flame Deity turned its gaze toward Keser at its side.
“Eternal, you have 80 seconds. You must kill Luo Feng within 80 seconds. Otherwise, the super-powerful humans will arrive,” Keser’s eyes burned with madness as he transmitted his message through world power.
“You may die now.”
A deep voice echoed in Keser’s mind.
Boom!
In an instant, Keser was utterly consumed by the flames infused with the majesty of the Laws. This Eternal Deity had concealed himself within his inner world as a last desperate gambit. Yet once this final card was played… it heralded the arrival of his ultimate demise. The insectoid swarm would never permit Keser to survive—lest the humans plunder his soul and unravel the dark secrets of their insidious infiltration web.
“Human!” The towering Eternal Flame Deity turned toward Luo Feng, who stood frozen under the crushing weight of divine majesty.
“You may die too!”
Boom boom boom~~~~
The endless flames surged violently, like a dragon made of fire, instantly engulfing a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, rushing toward Luo Feng!
