Boom! Boom! Boom~~~
The massive gates of the Sire Hall, guarded by the two Boundary Sovereigns, finally groaned open as they strained against the rusted mechanisms. Luo Feng emerged in his shimmering silver warplate, a triumphant smile playing upon his lips.
“Luo Feng, this time you’ve suffered a bit,” King Longque approached.
“Not really,” Luo Feng replied with a smile. “That King Yanzhu is just someone from the Axe Combat Arena. I don’t believe he can cover the sky with one hand.”
“Haha…” King Longque burst into laughter, his voice echoing through the surrounding corridors. “What you said is indeed correct. After all, you are one of our Virtual Universe Company’s people. Besides, this time you were the victim of an assassination. For King Yanzhu to act that way is indeed excessive.”
Luo Feng glanced at Dylon beside him. “Dylon, I plan to go into the Mulong Star Region.”
“Go again?” Dylon was taken aback.
“I’ve already paid one million Chaos units. Don’t I need to pick up the goods?” Luo Feng teased.
King Longque nodded beside him, “It’s only natural to retrieve the goods. This time, I’ll personally accompany you inside and serve as your guide.”
“This won’t do,” Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.
“Why not?” King Longque asked. “What preparations do you need before going in?”
“I don’t want to waste time. Let’s go now,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Alright, let’s depart now.”
…
King Longque led two subordinates in white robes to accompany Luo Feng aboard his spaceship, heading toward the area within the Mulong Star Region where countless Boundary Lord insect corpses were stored.
“Buzz~~”
Space rippled slightly, and then a spaceship appeared. The hatch opened, and Luo Feng, King Longque, and two men in white robes flew out.
“Ah, this must be where I was assassinated before,” Luo Feng looked at the cosmic coordinates displayed on his wrist screen and exclaimed in surprise. “Did we directly teleport here? I remember last time when I came, those two guides first took me to an ’empty area’ before slowly flying over.”
“That’s the usual protocol,” King Longque shook his head. “I don’t need to follow it.”
The storage area in the Mulong Star Region was off-limits to Immortal guests, but after Luo Feng’s assassination last time, King Longque had directly brought Dylon in.
King Longque and the other four had privileges.
“Wow,” Luo Feng looked around. The mess caused by the explosion of the Flame Immortal from before had completely vanished, replaced by a neat arrangement of numerous Boundary Lord insect corpses. “King Longque, you guys work fast. It’s only been a day, and everything has changed completely.”
“Haha.”
King Longque asked, “Out of the two hundred insect corpses, how many have you seen?”
“I’ve seen most of them,” Luo Feng replied.
“Then I’ll continue showing you the rest. After viewing all 200 insect corpses, you can make your selection,” King Longque said.
Luo Feng flipped his hand, and instantly 200 metal plates floated in front of him. With a thought, he divided the 200 metal plates into two piles, a large one and a small one. “The small pile corresponds to the insect corpses I haven’t seen yet.”
“Oh?” King Longque quickly scanned them and soon determined the fastest route for viewing.
“Then let’s go,” King Longque said.
…
King Longque led Luo Feng and the other three as they flew through the starry expanse of the Mulong Star Region, navigating the tunnels of insect corpses.
Half a day later, Luo Feng finished viewing the remaining insect corpses and, after a moment of contemplation, naturally ranked the top 100 out of the 200 insect units.
“Although I currently possess 300 insect corpses, their origins are questionable. Purchasing another 100 insect corpses now means I won’t have to fear anything,” Luo Feng thought to himself. He turned to King Longque with a smile and said, “King Longque, I’ve finished viewing them. I’ve decided which 100 insect units I want to purchase.”
“Oh?” King Longque looked at Luo Feng. “Which 100?”
“These.”
Luo Feng flipped his hand and directly took out 100 metal plates.
King Longque quickly scanned them, cross-referencing with his internal records, and couldn’t help but look at Luo Feng in astonishment. “Impressive! These Boundary Lord insect corpses are almost all shattered, making them difficult to distinguish. The 100 insect corpse units you’ve selected are nearly the top 100 in quality.”
Even the internal records couldn’t be extremely detailed.
After all, there was no way to investigate the vast number of Boundary Lord insect corpses. The records only had a basic level classification, such as ‘premium’, ‘superior’, ‘medium’, and ‘inferior’. This was the classification system used internally by King Longque and his team to gain some advantages. Luo Feng’s selection included all the ‘superior’ quality units among the 200 available, with the rest being some ‘medium’ quality.
Among the metal plates King Longque gave Luo Feng, there were mainly ‘superior’, ‘medium’, and ‘inferior’ quality.
“Could it be that King Longque is reluctant?” Luo Feng joked.
“Of course not,” King Longque turned and casually threw 50 metal plates each to his two subordinates. “You two, go and retrieve 50 insect corpse units each.”
“Yes.”
The two men in white robes respectfully saluted and then split up to gather the units.
” Luo Feng, we just need to wait here,” King Longque said.
“Okay,” Luo Feng frowned. “King Longque, I want to know… have you found any information about Korsel, the one who tried to assassinate me? Who exactly wants me dead?”
“We’ve found some clues, but the investigation is still ongoing,” King Longque waved his hand, and a spaceship appeared in midair, its hatch automatically opening. “Let’s go into the spaceship to talk.”
Luo Feng nodded and followed King Longque into the spaceship.
…
At this moment.
In the distant Taigin Cosmic Nation’s ‘Lanhai Star Region’, above an ordinary life-bearing planet called ‘Bermo’, the space rippled slightly, and a black flying saucer appeared out of nowhere.
The underside of the flying saucer automatically split open, and three figures flew out.
The leader, an elderly man in purple battle armor, exuded a faint but unsettling law fluctuation. He waved his hand to retrieve the saucer-shaped spaceship and issued a low, stern command: “We must capture the target. No mistakes.”
“Yes.”
The two warriors in black armor saluted respectfully.
“Move out!”
With a command from the elder in purple battle armor, the three swiftly flew into the ordinary planet ‘Bermo’.
Bermo was a planet with a diameter of 18,219 kilometers. The oxygen content in its atmosphere reached 36%. The temperature variations on this planet were extreme. Even in the same location on the same day, the morning could be as cold as -30 degrees Celsius, while noon could reach 50 or 60 degrees Celsius… However, humans were highly adaptable.
This planet Bermo had a population of about 22 billion.
And today, three powerful beings—a Thunder Immortal, and two Boundary Lords at peak strength—entered this ordinary life-bearing planet.
“The Virtual Universe System has confirmed the location of the target network,” the elder in purple battle armor stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper, overlooking the city, and issued a cold command. “The target is in this city. Search for the target and bring him to me.”
“Yes, Captain.”
The two Boundary Lords saluted respectfully.
At the same time, they both spread their World Power, easily covering the entire city, which was only a few dozen kilometers wide. Everything happening in the city—crimes in dark alleys, the birth of a new life in a hospital, arguments between couples, decadence in brothels, and weak warriors striving to cultivate…
Everything was clearly visible!
“Target locked!”
“Locked!”
The two Boundary Lords simultaneously confirmed the target’s location. In one of the old high-rise buildings, a green-haired man was wearing a neural interface, connected to the Virtual Universe Network.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
The two Boundary Lords transformed into streaks of light, instantly crossing dozens of kilometers to reach the apartment in the old high-rise building, easily capturing the green-haired man.
“Captain, the target has been captured—”
The Boundary Lord’s telepathic message had just begun.
Suddenly—
An incredibly terrifying and fierce force suddenly erupted from deep beneath the city. “Boom! Boom! Boom~~~” The entire city instantly turned to dust. Then, the violent energy almost instantly engulfed the entire planet. Whether it was the oceans, land, or mountains, everything was instantly shattered. Even at the epicenter of the explosion, space itself was torn apart.
The entire life-bearing planet instantly plunged into extinction!
Outer space above the planet.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
Three figures instantly shot up tens of thousands of kilometers into the sky, standing in outer space, gazing at the life-bearing planet ‘Bermo’. Endless dust rose from the planet, and its surface was completely torn apart. The strongest natives of this planet were only at the peak of the Star Lord class, and they were utterly unable to survive this catastrophe.
“Captain.” The two Boundary Lords had blood at the corners of their mouths, their bodies rapidly repairing themselves as they looked up at their captain.
“The target is dead. The trail is gone,” the elder in purple battle armor looked down at the planet. “Let’s go.”
The two Boundary Lords looked back at the life-bearing planet with only a sigh.
They all boarded their spaceship and left.
Only the devastated Bermo planet remained, with all 22 billion humans on it perishing without a single survivor.
…
In the Mulong Star Region.
In the area of the Boundary Lord insect corpses, a spaceship was parked in a starry tunnel.
“Luo Feng, Luo Feng.” King Longque ran to a rest cabin door.
Hua!
The door opened.
“King Longque?” Luo Feng looked at King Longque in confusion.
“Just received news,” King Longque’s expression was serious. “Our Virtual Universe Company investigated all of Korsel’s activities on the Virtual Universe Network, such as emails, calls, and conversations. We finally found some clues and traced a lead to prepare to capture an important target. However, during the capture, the planet where the target was located exploded, killing all 22 billion people on the planet.”
“What?” Luo Feng’s expression changed.
22 billion!
“Yes.”
King Longque nodded solemnly. “Based on our experience in battling with alien races, such ruthless methods are likely the work of a hidden insect clan organization.”
“Insect clan?” Luo Feng’s expression changed again.
“Yes.” King Longque nodded. “The insect clan excels in soul invasion and controlling large numbers of lives, so their hidden organizations are very difficult to deal with. Once a certain pawn has a problem, they will immediately abandon that line completely and even retaliate. Causing the complete annihilation of a planet is a form of retaliation. However, we know that even if there is retaliation, we must investigate. Even if we fail hundreds or thousands of times, as long as we succeed once, it can severely damage the hidden organization that the insect clan has built with countless resources.”
Luo Feng took a deep breath. 22 billion people. All the lives on a life-bearing planet.
They were all wiped out.
The battle between races was indeed cruel.
“You must be careful. Clearly, you are already on the insect clan’s assassination list,” King Longque said solemnly.
