“Fuweis, their targeting instruments should be inferior to ours. They haven’t detected us,” said the slightly stockier immortal scaled creature in a low voice.
“Hmm,” the leaner immortal scaled creature nodded, then swept his gaze over the twenty Monarch-level scaled beings. “Children, they haven’t noticed us. So we’ll approach silently. Remember, you must stay close to me and Toru. That way, our instruments will shield your presence from theirs, preventing them from detecting your fluctuations.”
“Yes,” all twenty Monarch-level scaled beings responded, already in a frenzied state.
“The distance is closing—10 million kilometers, 8 million, 6 million…” the burly immortal scaled creature muttered.
“Slow down and stop,” ordered Fuweis.
The living spaceship halted immediately.
“Everyone disembark. We’ll fly the rest of the way,” Fuweis commanded.
Instantly, the twenty Monarch-level scaled beings, brimming with murderous intent, surged out of the ship, followed closely by the two immortal scaled creatures.
…
In the starry cosmos.
Luo Feng’s squad was locked in battle with another elite team. Without a doubt, Luo Feng’s team held the clear advantage, as the enemy had been reduced to only two Monarchs.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s gaze swept toward the distant, dark void. “Enemies?”
Taiwo’s detection instruments had a range of 120 mixed-yuan units, which was far superior to the Lei Quan Clan’s instruments from before. However, among the Immortal Deities, many possessed far superior detection capabilities than Taiwo’s. Luo Feng’s own detection instruments were monstrous in capability. With his privileges and discounts, purchasing them still cost 3.9 million points.
The auction price would easily exceed millions of mixed-yuan units.
Therefore, Luo Feng’s instruments had already detected the enemy when they approached within a billion kilometers. At that time, he hadn’t paid much attention, assuming they were just passing by. But as the distance shortened and the enemy directly approached the battlefield, Luo Feng realized—they had been discovered.
“Tiny creatures,” Luo Feng muttered. His inheritance memories told him of these beings.
The Qiushi Clan: one of the countless energy-based lifeforms, known for their bloodthirsty nature, love of devouring corpses, and their ferocity in battle.
Just as rock-based lifeforms could either possess or lack souls.
Among flesh-based lifeforms, some had fragile bodies, while others, like the Metal Lifeforms, were even more formidable.
It was the same principle.
Energy-based lifeforms, as a powerful category in the cosmos, encompassed a wide variety of species. Some, like the Mosha Clan, were known as the “Strongest Assassination Clan” and were considered the pinnacle of energy-based lifeforms. Others, like the Qiushi Clan, were common energy-based beings, still vulnerable to soul attacks and unable to shift forms as freely as the Mosha Clan. They had fixed physical structures.
However, once their bodies were destroyed, Qiushi warriors could still reconstitute themselves, a hallmark of energy-based lifeforms.
But each time their bodies were obliterated, it caused them immense damage.
Moreover, the Qiushi Clan could devour other creatures’ corpses, absorbing their energy to replenish themselves. This was another trait of energy-based lifeforms.
The act of “devouring corpses” was practiced by many species throughout the universe.
…
In the distance.
The advancing scaled beings suppressed their excitement as the leaner immortal scaled creature commanded, “Slow down. Toru, let’s ambush them first and wound them severely.”
“Good,” the burly immortal scaled creature replied eagerly.
With a hiss, both immortals extended their claws, which began to gather immense immortal divine energy, compressing it tightly. This technique was somewhat similar to the Fire God Core, which compressed energy to a density even greater than that of an Immortal Crystal without detonating. However, the technical skill required was extremely high.
Not even an immortal Monarch could condense such a dense Fire God Core single-handedly.
“Kill!”
The two immortals surged forward like lightning, with the twenty Monarchs following closely behind.
As the distance closed, the two immortals prepared to unleash their compressed divine energy orbs.
…
“Qiushi Clan—ferocious, bloodthirsty, and warlike,” Luo Feng mused silently. “Two immortals and twenty Monarchs. This will be troublesome. Hmm? Compressing immortal divine energy?”
“Haha, let’s quickly collect the loot and return to our base,” laughed Captain Taiwo.
“This battle was too easy,” said the illusionist Wei with a smile.
“Back to the nest,” Poison cheered.
“Finally time to rest,” the white-robed deity smiled.
The group of Monarchs quickly gathered the scattered loot, while Luo Feng feigned a casual glance around. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he stared into the distance and urgently transmitted, “Enemies!”
“Enemies?”
“Where? We’ve only been fighting for three minutes!”
Taiwo, Poison, and everyone else shuddered and followed Luo Feng’s gaze, seeing two streaks of light hurtling toward them.
“Compressed immortal divine energy attack!” Taiwo’s expression changed instantly as he raised both hands.
Boom! Boom!
Two beams of light shot from Taiwo’s hands, directly intercepting the two streaks of light. At the same time, Taiwo shouted, “Retreat! Quickly retreat!” The Monarch squad immediately began to flee.
Boom! Boom!
The two beams collided with the compressed immortal divine energy fireballs, triggering a terrifying explosion. The immense divine energy shockwave tore through a thousand kilometers of space, radiating outward in all directions. Fortunately, Luo Feng had warned them in time, and Taiwo reacted swiftly. Thus, Luo Feng’s squad, though slightly affected from a distance, sustained no injuries.
“This immortal divine energy!”
“This flame-like immortal divine energy aura…” Poison, who had merely been serious before, suddenly turned furious, his voice hoarse. “It’s them! It’s them!!!”
The most silent warrior in the group, Whirlwind, upon sensing the flame-like immortal divine energy aura—since each immortal deity’s “immortal divine energy aura” was unique—his expression instantly turned savage, his eyes bloodshot, as he roared, “It’s those corpse-eaters! Those corpse-eaters!!!”
“It’s the corpse-eaters!” The two illusionists, Mei Nü and Wei, also changed their expressions.
Mad Dance!
Divine Warrior!
Hammer!
Captain Taiwo!
All of them were now consumed by madness.
“What’s going on?” Luo Feng and Rock were puzzled.
“They’re our mortal enemies, Rock! Don’t hold back! Fight to kill! Wipe them out!” Taiwo transmitted urgently.
“Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother!” Poison’s voice was hoarse, tears streaming from his eyes. He would never forget that day—when the second-ranked warrior in their team, “Seventh Brother,” sacrificed himself to hold off an immortal scaled creature to save Poison, only to be devoured before their very eyes. Poison had gone mad that day.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Captain Taiwo and the seven veterans, filled with fury, transformed into streaks of light and charged toward the enemy. Luo Feng and Rock naturally followed.
And in the distance, another group of streaks of light approached.
“Haha, they didn’t even try to run.”
“We’ve been tracking you lucky survivors from back then. Didn’t expect you’d dare to fight back.”
The two immortal scaled creatures laughed excitedly. They knew the strength of this human squad. This human team had only one Immortal Deity, slightly troublesome. Back then, there was another warrior in the human team who was formidable enough to fight an Immortal Deity. But in the end, Toru had devoured him.
Two squads.
One had one Immortal Deity and nine Monarchs.
The other had two Immortal Deities and twenty Monarchs.
They met in the cosmos, and the battle erupted almost instantly.
“Children, kill them all! Devour them all!” the lean immortal scaled creature cackled.
“Yes!”
“Yes, my lord!”
A group of Monarch-level scaled beings laughed maniacally, each wielding war blades or sabers, moving at incredible speed and agility as they charged forward.
“Ah!!!” Poison’s voice was already hoarse, his face twisted with rage. With a furious roar, his small, childlike one-meter frame suddenly expanded, growing taller and stronger. From his body sprouted dark green vines, wildly extending outward. With a flick of his hand, Poison produced a vial of colorful liquid, which was instantly devoured by the dark green vines.
“Life!”
“Death!”
Boom!
Now a twelve-meter-tall giant, Poison’s chest suddenly glowed with blinding golden runes. The golden runes instantly illuminated the dark green vines. The vines, having absorbed the potion and now illuminated by the golden runes, seemed to undergo a transformation. The previously dark green vines now had a faint golden film covering their surface.
“Three thousand six hundred and twenty-one years!”
“Seventh Brother died for me.”
“Every day I’ve worked tirelessly to create potions, researching them, finally combining my clan’s innate abilities with my plant-based lifeform. All for this day… for this day!!!” Poison roared. His seventy-two dark green vines, now with a golden film, resembled seventy-two golden-scaled serpents, piercing through the cosmos, twisting and crushing everything in their path.
The two Monarchs who had charged toward him were instantly ensnared by two of the vines. With a *pshhh*, they were crushed into countless fragments, their life crystals shattered, their inner worlds collapsing, scattering countless items into space.
“It’s you! It’s you!”
“You ate Seventh Brother!”
“Die! Go die!” the now monstrous Poison roared, fixing his gaze on the slightly stockier immortal scaled creature.
Boom! Boom!
The seventy-two massive vines, covered in a golden film, stretched for thousands of kilometers, all targeting the burly immortal scaled creature.
“Kill,” Taiwo also engaged the lean immortal scaled creature instantly.
Mad carnage!
The battle erupted with full intensity in an instant.
