Chapter 709: Descent

In the starry expanse of the Solar System, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Earth.

Twelve immortal gods of the Marquis-level were surrounding a massive dark golden flying saucer, launching attacks against Luo Feng and Dylan, who were hiding inside.

“Use soul attacks through the spaceship to target Luo Feng. Ignore everything else and eliminate him immediately,” the King of Nightmares roared telepathically. “Under no circumstances should you allow Dylan to pull Luo Feng into a pocket dimension. If Luo Feng enters a pocket dimension, this entire battle will become meaningless.”

“Yes, my lord.”

All twelve immortals unleashed soul attacks, even those who were not naturally adept at them. Once immortal energy was etherealized, it could affect the soul.

Whether they followed the path of warriors or mentalists,

They were all using immortal energy.

Inside the spaceship.

“Don’t worry. You’re safe inside me; they can’t break in. But you’ll have to handle the soul attacks yourselves,” a giant face appeared on the wall of the rest chamber, chuckling toward Luo Feng and Dylan. “Soul attacks have no effect on me, but I can’t block them either. The material of this chamber’s walls offers some resistance to ethereal immortal energy, which can weaken the soul attacks. That’s all I can do.”

“Leave the soul defense to me,” Dylan said solemnly.

At the same time, waves of invisible immortal energy surrounded Luo Feng, shielding him from the attacks of the twelve immortals.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Though invisible, Luo Feng could sense the ethereal immortal energies colliding repeatedly within the chamber.

“These bastards keep dispersing the world energy I’m channeling. Your Highness, I can’t pull you into my pocket dimension at all,” Dylan’s face showed signs of anxiety. “They’re targeting you directly now. It seems they’re determined to kill you.”

“Kill me?” Luo Feng was secretly startled. “Dylan, can you hold them off?”

“It’s very difficult,” Dylan transmitted, his expression serious. “Thankfully, I specialize in soul techniques and am skilled in soul defense. Combined with the chamber’s walls, which weaken and hinder the attacks, I can temporarily hold them off. But among the twelve Marquis-level immortals, three specialize in soul attacks. If this continues, I won’t be able to hold out.”

Boom!

Boom!

The repeated direct clashes of ethereal soul attacks saw Dylan manipulating the ethereal immortal energy, forming a complex polyhedral shield around Luo Feng, resisting the attacks time and again.

“Dylan, hold on for a bit. Nine-Sword Venerable’s forces will arrive soon,” Luo Feng transmitted.

“Understood,” Dylan replied grimly, desperately resisting.

“Ahhh!” A scream echoed.

Boom!

An explosion erupted outside the spaceship.

In the starry void, the twelve Marquis-level immortals, though aware that the spaceship had fused with a metal lifeform, maintained a cautious distance. However, after repeated failed soul attacks, they grew more desperate.

The further the distance, the weaker the soul attack. Thus, in their anxiety, the twelve immortals gradually moved closer to the spaceship.

Just then, unexpectedly—

The seemingly sturdy dark golden hull of the flying saucer suddenly extended a massive dark golden metallic hand. Moving at lightning speed, comparable to the strike of a King-level immortal, the hand clenched through the void… directly seizing one of the Marquis-level immortals adept at soul attacks, and squeezed!

With a thunderous boom, the immortal was crushed into nothingness!

“Watch out for the spaceship!”

“Stay away from it!”

The other eleven immortals were shocked.

“Whoosh, whoosh~~~” A torrent of green light particles converged rapidly from all directions, instantly coalescing into a black-robed woman with purple hair. Clearly, her immortal body had achieved the ‘Undying Body’ state. The purple-haired woman urgently transmitted, “Be careful, everyone! This metal lifeform has a strong grasp of spatial laws. It crushed my immortal body earlier, and my countless fragments of immortal energy couldn’t escape. It sealed the space with a single palm strike, forcibly annihilating my immortal energy. My power has been greatly diminished.”

“What!” The other eleven were stunned.

Once one achieves an Undying Body, being destroyed once has little effect on one’s power.

Of course, it also depends on who delivers the blow. For example, in the Chaos City, long ago, the Chaos City Lord casually formed a giant hand from afar and casually struck two immortals, bringing them to the brink of death without actually killing them. Such control is far more difficult than simply killing two immortals.

Or like Zhenyan King, who could kill a Marquis-level immortal with a single strike.

“Ha ha ha… See if you dare underestimate me now! Ha ha! Of the three who specialize in soul attacks, one is severely injured. The other two won’t be able to attack at full strength either,” a giant face emerged on the ship’s hull, laughing loudly. At the same time, it left trails of afterimages as the ship extended two massive hands, repeatedly striking at the surroundings.

It specifically targeted the other two soul-specialists!

Forcing the twelve Marquis-level immortals to repeatedly dodge while maintaining their soul attacks, naturally weakening their offensive power.

Through the ‘External Scene Virtual,’ Luo Feng and Dylan clearly saw everything happening outside.

“It’s much easier now,” Dylan said in delight.

“What a powerful spaceship,” Luo Feng silently praised.

This spaceship was an F9-class vessel fused with a metal lifeform, possessing extremely strong physical defenses. Moreover, a metal lifeform that could fuse with a spaceship was even more unique. It was like a ‘metallic mountain range’ suddenly becoming a living being, with a life structure vastly different from that of flesh-based lifeforms.

In the universe, there are many lifeforms without souls, many indeed. The Mosha Clan’s clones are one such example. These lifeforms without souls naturally have other ‘life cores.’

When Luo Feng, Dylan, and the metal lifeform spaceship were no longer in danger from the twelve Marquis-level immortals,

The six King-level immortals, including the King of Nightmares, grew anxious.

“Fools! Fools!” The King of Nightmares raged inwardly.

“Ha ha… Nightmares, you can’t even harm Luo Feng. I think you should give up,” the Bloodthirsty King laughed, restoring a uniquely shaped war blade as he clashed with the six King-level immortals.

Boom! Boom!

The surrounding cosmic space completely tore apart. Even as it tried to heal, it was torn again and again. A starry expanse with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers was shattered. Within the chaotic spatial fragments, the seven King-level immortals fought fiercely, their battle turning the heavens and earth dark. The chaotic spatial fragments couldn’t even scratch them.

“Crash!”

The King of Nightmares endured a heavy blow, instantly retreating hundreds of thousands of kilometers, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood.

“Senior Brother, what should we do?” The other five King-level immortals were anxious, with the black-armored woman transmitting urgently. “We’re at a disadvantage even with six against Bloodthirsty. Those twelve fools can’t kill Luo Feng either. We’re just wasting time here. Since Bloodthirsty has arrived, the forces of the Virtual Universe Company will probably arrive soon.”

“I know,” the King of Nightmares was deeply anxious.

Just then—

Suddenly, golden light rippled around the dark golden flying saucer. Under the hazy golden glow, an immense pressure spread out, so powerful that it instantly covered millions of kilometers. Even the battling King of Nightmares, Bloodthirsty King, and the other five King-level immortals stopped fighting.

“A Divine Realm transmission!” the King of Nightmares’ face darkened.

A dense crowd of figures appeared, each exuding terrifying pressure. Together, their combined might was unimaginable. Even from millions of kilometers away, the King of Nightmares felt his heart tremble.

Silence!

The starry expanse fell silent. The twelve Marquis-level immortals and the King of Nightmares, King of Waterfalls, and the other five Kings regrouped. Meanwhile, the Bloodthirsty King flew toward the dark golden flying saucer. The ship’s hull naturally split open, revealing a hatch. Luo Feng and Dylan flew directly into the starry void.

“My god,” Luo Feng stared in disbelief at the densely packed figures standing in the starry expanse.

At a glance, there were easily over a thousand!

Each of their auras seemed to surpass Dylan’s, and many even rivaled the Bloodthirsty King.

Suddenly, the thousand immortals arrived via Divine Realm transmission, their sheer presence more overwhelming than the previous Immortal Insect Nest. These weren’t just a thousand ordinary immortals; they were the elite forces under a Celestial Venerable, capable of easily crushing an Immortal Insect Nest.

At the forefront stood a green-armored woman with two swords strapped to her back, exuding a cold aura.

“Luo Feng,” she looked at him, “we have been sent by the Venerable to protect you.”

“Thank you, Venerable. Thank you, everyone,” Luo Feng respectfully bowed in the starry void.

The emerald-armored immortal, radiating the overwhelming might of an entire legion, stood resolutely before the Nightmare King and icily proclaimed, “Nightmare King, Luo Feng is under the aegis of the Virtual Universe Corporation. By what authority does the Axe Battle Arena dare assail one of our own?”

“Hmph.”

The King of Nightmares’ face darkened as he wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, merely snorting in response.

“Seize the King of Nightmares!” the green-armored immortal commanded.

“Yes!”

Instantly, twenty-six King-level immortals from the army surged forward like lightning, causing the King of Nightmares and the other five Kings to change expressions dramatically. The Virtual Universe Company and the Axe Fighting Arena were the two strongest human factions, often competing. Today, the King of Nightmares was clearly in the wrong. If he were captured, the Axe Fighting Arena would face great trouble trying to redeem him.

Moreover, being captured would be a tremendous humiliation.

“Get back!!!” The King of Nightmares’ eyes burned with madness as he roared furiously. Ancient runes on his forehead suddenly flared, an unimaginably terrifying aura spreading in all directions, as if an ultimate ferocious beast was slowly awakening. His forehead split open, revealing a purple vertical eye.

The purple vertical eye emitted purple beams, scanning the surrounding space, causing it to congeal. He would rather risk serious injury than be captured.

“Boom~~~”

Ripples spread across the starry void as an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended—like a dragon descending to crush countless ants. An irresistible force instantly enveloped the surrounding stellar region, suppressing the entire immortal army in an instant. Even the previously enraged Nightmare King found himself oppressed, his activated secret technique forcibly halted.

A blurry figure gradually emerged.

“Father!!!” The King of Nightmares turned his head, shouting in surprise and joy.
