Rushing out from the resting hall cabin, he flew into the still exploding void.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng glanced around, only seeing debris from the disintegrated spacecraft, with no sign of any enemies.
“Everyone, stay alert,” Captain Taiwo telepathically commanded as he swiftly stowed the resting hall cabin into his dimensional ring. The wrecked spacecraft meant nothing to him—the true prize was this resting chamber, crafted entirely from F9-grade Tungstenflame ore.
“Where are the enemies?” Rock’s eyes, sharp as lightning, scanned the surroundings from his position in the void.
“Rookie, don’t panic. Just stay alert; the rest is our job,” the enchantress chimed in with a bright smile.
The other veteran warriors also wore smiles, yet remained cautious, scanning their surroundings. They had experienced too many trials to count… even when facing danger, they could still maintain a relatively calm mindset.
“If our opponent won’t show themselves, we leave,” Taiwo suddenly darted forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The other nine team members followed their leader in unison, swiftly slicing through the void as they fled into the distance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!…
In nine distant locations across the cosmic expanse, in every direction—front, back, left, right, above, and below—nine “points” simultaneously emitted brilliant flashes of lightning. Instantly, the lightning pierced through the void… even in the original universe, no immortal being, no matter how powerful, could instantly reach light speed.
However!
Electricity and light, once released, traveled at light speed. Luo Feng and his team, on the other hand, needed time to accelerate, gradually approaching “light speed.” As for spacecraft… they required even more time to accelerate to that velocity.
Therefore, the lightning from those nine points quickly connected, forming a massive lightning prison!
This enormous lightning prison completely enveloped Luo Feng’s squad.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!~
The moment the lightning prison formed, countless electric eels pierced through the void. Across the billions of kilometers of space within the lightning prison, countless electric eels surged. Without a doubt… the ten members of Luo Feng’s team were naturally caught in the onslaught of these electric eels.
“Lightning Prison!”
“It’s the Lightning Prison!”
The veterans transmitted in alarm.
“Quickly, flee! This is the mechanical race’s technique, and it’s a powerful one. We’re in serious trouble,” Taiwo transmitted urgently.
Instantly, Taiwo led the way, with the nine team members swiftly following behind him as they fled.
However, Luo Feng and Rock, the two rookies, were puzzled.
Why flee?
The Lightning Prison didn’t seem to pose much of a threat.
“If those lightning beams had targeted us directly and hit, they might instantly kill a Monarch. But… these lightning beams formed this ‘Lightning Prison,’ and the resulting electric eels spread across billions of kilometers. They probably wouldn’t even kill a first or second-stage Monarch. There’s no real danger,” Rock, the newcomer, questioned.
“Why is the Lightning Prison so terrifying?” Luo Feng also transmitted while fleeing. It was normal for elite Monarch-level team members to multitask, so conversing while fleeing was perfectly natural.
“You’ll see soon enough, rookie. This is a big problem. This Lightning Prison… isn’t something just any mechanical race can set up,” Poison, with a serious expression on her small face, replied.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
His vision was extremely sharp; he could immediately tell… the Lightning Prison, spanning billions of kilometers in diameter, would require equipment costing millions of mixed yuan units to set up! The mechanical race might have lower costs in this area, but it was estimated to still exceed 100,000 mixed yuan units. Definitely not something an ordinary Monarch-level ‘mechanical race’ could afford.
As for the energy consumed by this Lightning Prison, it wasn’t shocking.
Because the electric eels continuously darted around the entire Lightning Prison. If there were no people inside the prison, the electric eels could continuously dart back and forth, achieving ‘energy recycling,’ with consumption approaching zero!
“Energy recycling”—like the AAA divine base, the colorful energy shield of that massive base could withstand attacks from cosmic elders. Yet, as long as it wasn’t attacked, the energy could achieve recycling with no loss.
…
Just as Luo Feng’s team began to flee, suddenly—
Boom! Boom! Boom!~
From the nine base points of the Lightning Prison, dense clusters of light spots suddenly erupted. These clusters of light spots rapidly converged on Luo Feng’s team from nine directions, forcing the team, which had just started accelerating their escape, to abruptly decelerate, as a large number of light spots rushed toward them.
“It’s mechanical puppets,” Luo Feng immediately recognized.
From a distance, they appeared as light spots, but upon closer inspection, one could discern…
They were silver robots about twelve meters tall. Each of these silver robots carried a thick alloy sword on their back, and their alloy bodies had electric eels continuously darting across their surfaces. When the countless electric eels from the entire ‘Lightning Prison’ touched them, they were completely unaffected.
“It’s the Lightning Mechanical Puppets,” Taiwo said solemnly. “We’re in serious trouble. ‘Lightning Prison’ combined with ‘Lightning Mechanical Puppet Legion’ is a relatively common combination among the mechanical race, but it’s also a very terrifying one. Usually, only an immortal god from the mechanical race would have such resources.”
The nine team members all followed Taiwo’s command.
Luo Feng, however, felt his own disadvantage. He was very familiar with the combat methods of the human race. However, regarding the fighting styles of alien elites, although he had looked up some information through the virtual universe network, the information was too vague. For example, regarding the mechanical race, the information described them as “intelligent life forms by nature. Each mechanical race individual represents a mechanical empire. With their resources, various strategies, precise and terrifying control, coordination, and tactics can form various terrifying attacks.”
“Everyone, listen up.”
“Follow me and break through at maximum speed. We must escape the Lightning Prison as soon as possible.” Taiwo ordered.
“Understood!”
The nine team members responded in unison.
Instantly, the entire squad began to dart forward at an astonishing speed. Since the Lightning Prison was large enough, Luo Feng’s elite squad also desperately tried to avoid the Lightning Mechanical Puppet Legion.
…
In the distant ruined spacecraft cabin.
The mechanical race individual Parati grinned. “Still trying to escape? 6th Legion, CI9 plan, execute!”
…
“These mechanical puppets are relatively inflexible; they shouldn’t be able to catch up.” Luo Feng’s team avoided the pursuing mechanical puppet legion and quickly fled.
Suddenly, the nearest mechanical puppet legion absorbed a large amount of electric eels. Instantly, the countless electric eels darting through the Lightning Prison were drawn in. The more than 100,000 Lightning Mechanical Puppets were like a circuit, with countless electric eels darting and gathering. Moreover, twenty-one mechanical puppets emitted dazzling lightning orbs.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…
21 lightning orbs formed a special secret pattern between them, like a ‘lightning fishing net,’ instantly launching directly at them.
Whoosh!
The lightning fishing net, traveling at light speed, struck.
When it caught up with Luo Feng’s elite squad, the powerful binding pressure quickly descended. This lightning fishing net directly enveloped the entire squad, its binding and oppressive force trapping all the squad members. It was actually an energy attack containing spatial laws, causing Luo Feng to secretly feel alarmed.
“Haa!” Team Leader Taiwo roared, unleashing his immortal divine power and law domain simultaneously.
Countless earth-yellow light points spread across a range of tens of thousands of kilometers. Each light point was terrifyingly heavy, striking the massive lightning fishing net, while his immortal divine power also rapidly attacked.
“Break it!” Yanpolo, wielding a hammer, growled and struck the net with his massive hammer.
“Break through!”
Monarch ‘Whirling Dance’ also controlled his mental weapon, one of the nine divine weapons of the mental cultivators—the ‘Rift Weapon.’ Instantly, the Rift Weapon transformed into a dazzling wheel of light, furiously slashing at the lightning fishing net.
“Shatter it!” The ‘Divine’ Monarch in the white robe had a spear floating behind him, emitting a hazy glow. The surrounding space twisted and tore.
…
All nine team members were unleashing their techniques, and Luo Feng also deployed his Divine Soul Weapon.
However, this lightning fishing net didn’t carry much attack power, but it managed to entangle all the team members. Meanwhile, one of the nine mechanical legions from afar had already arrived, with the others rapidly approaching.
“Crash!” Team Leader Taiwo roared, finally shattering the lightning fishing net within dozens of kilometers around him.
At the same moment—
The entire lightning fishing net instantly collapsed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!~
Once the previously stable lightning fishing net collapsed, the powerful lightning energy within it instantly exploded, triggering a chain reaction. In an instant, it tore open the surrounding void, and the powerful energy waves also impacted Luo Feng’s squad, but were firmly endured by Team Leader Taiwo.
“Captain.” Rock looked at the captain with some concern.
“I’m fine.” Taiwo growled. “Everyone, it seems this battle will be troublesome. The mechanical puppet legions have already surrounded us. It looks like we can’t avoid this fight.”
“Avoid what? Whether we go to our destination or fight here, it’s still a battle.” Poison licked her lips, her eyes blazing with excitement.
“Right.” Hammer also nodded.
The eyes of the other team members burned with fighting spirit.
“Enchantress, Wei, you two be careful.” Taiwo ordered.
“We can handle ourselves. Killing enemies mainly relies on you. Facing the mechanical race… our illusionists are completely useless.” Wei, a skeletal thin figure, transmitted with a low hum. Every illusionist actually also knew how to control mental weapons, but their expertise was in illusions, so their proficiency with mental weapons was definitely not their strong suit.
The void quickly repaired itself automatically.
Surrounding the elite Monarch squad, three mechanical puppet legions had already gathered. Each legion consisted of more than 100,000 mechanical puppets. At a glance, Luo Feng and his team were already heavily surrounded. Meanwhile, the other six mechanical puppet legions from afar were also rapidly approaching at sub-light speed. In just a few seconds, they would completely surround them.
“I wonder how they’ll respond.” Luo Feng was surprisingly calm. As for the mechanical puppet legions, he only needed to deploy his immortal Star Devouring Grass. Once the immortal Star Devouring Grass restored its true form, each vine would stretch millions of kilometers, enough to entangle all the mechanical puppets!
…
In the distant ruined spacecraft cabin.
“The formation is complete; it’s time to reap the harvest!” Parati, sitting on the alloy chair, whispered softly. “One immortal god, nine Monarchs… maximum loss of 27%, and they’ll be eliminated.”
