The vast sky was suddenly crossed by a streak of silver light that vanished in an instant.
The golden-horned beast was flying at a speed approaching the speed of light.
“It’s a pity that the nine pyramids are positioned at nine different locations, each far apart. I managed to capture one damaged pyramid spaceship, but the other eight accelerated to their maximum speed and escaped before I could give chase,” Luo Feng sighed, feeling a pang of regret. The mechanical clan warrior he had fought clearly possessed an abundance of powerful treasures.
Each of those pyramid spaceships was incredibly valuable. Luo Feng had earned 3 billion points by passing the Domain Lord-level Primordial Sky Mountain trial, and the value of a single pyramid spaceship was likely comparable.
“This kind of opportunity is truly once in a lifetime,” Luo Feng murmured.
In truth, if the insectoid clan’s Sovereign-level warriors hadn’t used their combined strength to tear apart that pyramid spaceship, even the golden-horned beast would have been unable to catch up with it.
…
As he flew, Luo Feng reflected on the recent battle.
From beginning to end, he hadn’t made any mistakes, but the fight had still been extremely disadvantageous.
First, his scanner was inferior to his opponent’s, allowing them to strike first. Facing an onslaught of nine million F9-grade elite mechanical puppets, he had no choice but to deploy the golden-horned beast. The beast was indeed formidable, collecting the spoils of tens of thousands of mechanical puppets and forcing his opponent to use the ultimate technique—”Nine Supreme Divine Kingdom.”
Once the Nine Supreme Divine Kingdom was unleashed, especially with the countless purple threads entangling the golden-horned beast, it lost its greatest advantage—speed. It could only endure the attacks of the eighty-one divine kings. Fortunately, with the combined protection of the “Murderous Wu Wings” and the “Jiang Armor,” it held strong. Finally, when the energy of the eighty-one divine kings was nearly depleted, Luo Feng unleashed a million Sovereign-level warrior units.
“It was indeed a wise decision.”
“Fortunately, I held back and only deployed the million Sovereign-level warrior units at the very end! If I had used them from the beginning, whether fighting the nine million F9-grade mechanical puppets or the eighty-one divine kings, I would have been at a great disadvantage. Although the combined attack of the Sovereign-level warrior units is extremely powerful, their individual defenses are very weak…”
“In summary,”
“The main reason I was at a disadvantage throughout the battle was—my scanner!”
“Without a scanner, I had no way of knowing my opponent’s every move. I was completely led around by the nose, which made me extremely passive. If I had a more advanced scanner than my opponent… I could have detected them long before their ambush, or even prevented them from detecting me.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly, “The tragedy is… I still don’t know where my opponent’s true body is!”
In reality, both Luo Feng and Czwicka had hidden strengths!
Czwicka’s true power was weak; he relied on various instruments and other means.
Luo Feng had slightly stronger combat power.
The disadvantage came from the fact that the battle was controlled by the opponent. If Luo Feng had a better scanner… he could have stealthily approached and even had the million Sovereign-level warrior units directly launch an attack on the enemy’s spaceship, instantly killing the mechanical clan warrior! That way, Luo Feng could have gained a huge profit and done so effortlessly.
“The scanner!”
“It’s all because of the scanner.” Luo Feng increasingly realized the importance of the scanner. The frustration of this battle came entirely from being constantly on the defensive.
…
The golden-horned beast, flying at high speed, suddenly turned its head as if sensing something. There was a vague feeling that the mechanical clan warrior was still monitoring him.
“The mechanical clan warrior hasn’t given up.”
“It’s likely that he’s been following me from a distance all along. It makes sense; after suffering such a huge loss, especially with an important component of his Nine Supreme Divine Kingdom now in my hands, how could he just let me go? He must be tracking me from a distance, trying to find a way to take it back from me.”
“What should I do?”
Luo Feng anxiously pondered, increasingly resenting his own scanner’s inadequacy.
“Should I just let him keep following me?”
“He obviously has resources and abilities. He will definitely try to take back the damaged pyramid spaceship. Letting him follow me is like leaving a ticking time bomb capable of killing me right by my side, ready to explode at any moment. No more hesitation… I’ll have to sacrifice some wealth.” Luo Feng made his decision.
…
Luo Feng’s guess was spot on.
Three hundred million kilometers away from Luo Feng, a pyramid spaceship was stealthily tailing him.
Inside the control room, Czwicka sat on a metal chair, his face dark with fury, watching the silver beast displayed on the projection screen. He gritted his teeth: “Silver-Winged King, none of my nine base ships can be missing. If even one is missing, I can’t deploy the Nine Supreme Divine Kingdom. You think you can take one? Dream on!”
“I originally didn’t want to pay a heavy price to kill you.”
“Killing an Immortal King is too costly. But you took the base ship of my Nine Supreme Divine Kingdom that my master gave me. You’re forcing my hand.” Czwicka’s eyes burned with madness.
“So die.”
“Wait for death.”
Czwicka had already sent a fragment of his consciousness into the ‘virtual world,’ a virtual realm set up by the mechanical clan in the battlefield beyond the domains.
…
In the virtual world.
“Beep—beep—beep—”
Czwicka stood before a screen, making a connection. After a while, an image appeared on the screen: a strange, fat lifeform about two meters tall and one meter wide. Its entire body was covered in scales, but among the countless scales were some that had eyes embedded in them.
The densely packed eyes sent chills down anyone’s spine.
On its head was a single large golden eye, exuding an invisible, chilling aura that seemed to pass through the screen.
If Luo Feng were to see this, he would immediately recognize it… this was a being of the “Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan,” a powerful race in the universe. Though their population was small, their individual strength was formidable. The entire Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan was considered a mighty race in the cosmos, not needing to be vassals of the peak clans. However, some of their powerful warriors still joined one of the four great factions to gain the right to enter the battlefield beyond the domains and hone themselves.
Battle was the best way to hone strength.
True superpowerful warriors did not fear battle; instead, they constantly sought pressure to strengthen themselves.
“Momobu!” Czwicka was clearly being respectful.
“Oh, it’s dear Czwicka.” The Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan being grinned, the countless eyes on its body seeming to smile as well, sending a shiver down the spine. “You should know that I’m currently at the Star Tower, a place of extreme danger. I don’t like distractions. You know this and still sought me out… Well, speak, what is it?”
“It’s like this.”
Czwicka clenched his teeth and quickly explained, slightly modifying the details of the battle but not changing the essence. “What I need to do is… kill this Silver-Winged King and reclaim my weapon components.”
“Oh? The Silver-Winged King from the human faction?” The Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan being, “Momobu,” said in surprise. “He actually took away your important weapon components. But Czwicka… he’s an Immortal King, you know how difficult it is to kill an Immortal King. You might have a chance to wound him seriously, but to kill him…”
“I’ve already made plans.” Czwicka quickly replied. “The Silver-Winged King’s physical defense is extremely strong, and its flying speed is incredibly fast, which is quite mysterious. But its offensive power doesn’t match the terrifying level of its defense! Obviously, its comprehension of the laws isn’t very high; it must have some treasures that enhance its defense.”
“Moreover, its fighting style always relies on close combat.”
“So its soul should be relatively weak. And Momobu… you are a supreme expert in the field of the soul. If you take action, there’s a ninety percent chance of success.” Czwicka continued eagerly.
The supreme expert of the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan on the screen did not immediately agree.
Seeing this, Czwicka quickly added, “I would never make Momobu waste time, especially since you’re currently at the Star Tower. I am willing… to pay three billion Yulan units for Momobu to take action. Moreover, once the Silver-Winged King is killed, the military merit will naturally be credited to Momobu, and you will also obtain a large portion of the spoils from the fallen Silver-Winged King.”
“Oh?” Momobu’s countless eyes on his body all lit up.
Three billion Yulan units…
That was a generous offer.
After all, even Immortal Kings spent countless eons accumulating their wealth, and such a high price for a single invitation was extremely rare.
“This Czwicka is truly wealthy, favored so much by his master. Though he’s only a Sovereign Lord, his wealth surpasses many Immortal Kings.” Momobu couldn’t help but marvel. Just like Yan Zhu Wang, the only son of the Erosion Fire Venerable, who was famous, Czwicka also had quite a reputation within the mechanical clan.
It should be known that the mechanical clan were all intelligent beings without the concept of parents or children.
So Czwicka was considered the most cherished “relative” of that supreme warrior.
“I’m at the Star Tower, how can I get there?” Momobu asked, “By spaceship? That would take half a year.”
“No.”
Czwicka shook his head immediately. Flying slowly by spaceship would take too long. “Momobu, you can teleport through your divine kingdom. I will provide you with the safe coordinates, and you can directly teleport to the Yanji Continent.”
“Teleporting through a divine kingdom would expose my divine kingdom’s coordinates.”
“With Momobu’s abilities, who in the Yanji Continent could threaten you? Besides, only I would know your divine kingdom’s coordinates. As comrades from the same faction, I would never betray you. Momobu, you will have ample time to relocate and change your divine kingdom’s coordinates after the mission.” Czwicka continued to persuade.
Eventually, Momobu agreed. After all, if this deal succeeded completely, the rewards would be enormous.
…
Only moments later.
In the virtual world, at Czwicka’s residence.
“Let me introduce, this is also from our mechanical clan, from the Longwan Clan, King Jiujian.” Czwicka pointed to the slender, short man sitting beside him, wearing a silver mask. The man’s hands resembled the claws of a beast, like sharp knives. “King Jiujian is a Sovereign Peak warrior with teleportation ability.”
“King Jiujian, this is from the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan, also one of the most famous figures in the Seventh Battlefield of the battlefield beyond the domains—the ‘Soul Reaper King.'” Czwicka pointed at Momobu of the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan.
King Jiujian and Soul Reaper King.
Both were Sovereign Peak existences, though in terms of reputation, Soul Reaper King was far more famous, as several Immortal Kings had perished at his hands.
“Soul Reaper King.” The short Jiujian King looked at Momobu. “Aren’t you at the Star Tower?”
Momobu smiled, all the countless eyes on his body filled with mirth: “I’ll just come over then.”
