Chapter 816: Objective “30 Seconds”

“Not good.” Luo Feng sensed the young Nakamon’s location and realized he was fleeing at high speed, immediately recognizing the danger.

“Chase!”

The golden-horned beast flapped its wings and roared into the sky, vanishing instantly at the edge of the horizon.

However, the black-armored youth had already accelerated to near-light speed, nearly reaching the speed of light, which was the absolute limit speed on Yanlong Continent! Only because of the environment of the cosmic secret realm, he couldn’t accelerate further. The golden-horned beast’s flying speed couldn’t surpass this limit either, and since the black-armored youth was flying in a straight line, there was no way to catch up.

“What should I do?”

“There’s no way to catch him.”

“Unless I use the World Projection, which can spread over 90 million kilometers and restrict his speed, otherwise we won’t catch him!” Luo Feng quickly thought, making a new decision based on the information obtained from their previous battle. “This Nakamon youth can actually use ‘Time Pause’; it won’t be easy for me to kill him. Hmm, I’ll bluff him a bit!”

The golden-horned beast continued to chase the Nakamon youth.

One in front, one behind… they flew at the maximum speed possible over Yanlong Continent.

Luo Feng also activated his large-scale detector.

Although he could determine the opponent’s position without the large-scale detector, Luo Feng didn’t want to expose this ability. Under the large-scale detector, the opponent used a miniature detector to shield himself, making it impossible for Luo Feng to detect him. However, the opponent’s shielding could only cover a radius of about 20 kilometers, and he was flying at sub-light speed…

Flying at such speed would cause intense air pressure and tearing, even rippling through space.

As they whistled past, they left very clear traces in the air and space.

Through these airwaves and spatial traces, it was naturally possible to determine the precise location of the fleeing opponent.

“He’s still chasing.”

“What grudge does the Silver-Winged King have with me that he keeps chasing me, knowing he can’t catch me, yet never giving up,” the black-armored youth, flying at maximum speed, knew through his miniature detector that the Silver-Winged King was still tracking him, becoming increasingly angry. “Keep chasing. Let me see how long you can keep this up.”

“I’m at maximum speed; you can’t be any faster than me.”

“If you keep chasing like this, you’ll never catch me.” The black-armored youth gritted his teeth.

Whoosh!

Like two meteors, a small one and a large one, one in front and one behind, they quickly followed the same trajectory.

This chase continued for a full six hours and more.

“Hahaha…”

“Hahahaha…” The black-armored youth, whose face had been pale, suddenly broke into a delighted smile, laughing out loud while maintaining his high-speed flight. “I knew it, there’s no way for him to catch me. He won’t keep chasing forever and will eventually give up! Haha, now he’s finally given up.”

His miniature detector detected that the large-scale detector had stopped scanning.

Obviously, the scanning had ceased.

“Earlier, when I was quietly hiding in the cave, it was understandable for him to suddenly stop scanning. But now I’m flying at high speed… I might even change direction, yet he turned off his detector. Naturally, he can’t catch up with me anymore.” The black-armored youth felt pleased. After being chased for so long, wouldn’t it be a relief?

The black-armored youth first flew straight for another three hours, then changed direction and flew for a day, changed direction again and flew for another day…

He flew continuously for nine days.

Finally, he arrived above a large lake.

“I’ve been flying non-stop for nine days and changed directions multiple times. Since he’s not using his detector anymore… naturally, he can’t find my location.” The black-armored youth stood above the vast lake and sneered. “Silver-Winged King? Hmph, I won’t forget this chase. This grudge… I’ll be sure to ‘repay’ you in the future.”

Zooom!

He dove straight down into the vast and deep lake. The lake was entirely blue, exuding a chill, and was unfathomably deep.

Just half a day later.

A black flying saucer appeared above the lake. In the control room,

Luo Feng, wearing black battle armor and black wings, was sitting on a sofa, holding a steaming cup of tea, leisurely sipping.

“He’s indeed cautious.” Luo Feng softly smiled. “But how could you know… even if you’re more cautious and careful, I can still easily find you.”

The call to Luo Feng’s body was so intense.

Every cell was frantically calling out, locking onto the exact location of the treasure.

“Killing him is really difficult.”

“I didn’t expect a mere Venerable Initiate could use ‘Time Pause.'” Luo Feng murmured softly. “It seems he must be one of the more talented individuals within the Nakamon race.” Just like how humans have many races with varying levels of talent, and how the demon race has royal and noble bloodlines, the Nakamon race is no exception.

“Time Pause.”

“If only I could have that ability.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

Teleportation and Time Pause are two extremely powerful techniques.

Teleportation is an extraordinary move within the Spatial Laws.

Time Pause is an extraordinary move within the Temporal Laws.

In fact, compared to the two, Time Pause is even stronger. Once caught in ‘Time Pause’, one would be utterly helpless for an instant. In that moment, the enemy could choose to attack or escape. Of course, there are varying durations to break free from ‘Time Pause’. For example, Luo Feng was initially unprepared, not expecting a Venerable Initiate to use ‘Time Pause’.

If prepared, maintaining constant power oscillations would still take one second to break free.

For a Venerable Peak expert, it might only take 0.1 seconds to forcefully break through.

However—

For a Venerable expert, 0.1 seconds is enough to launch many attacks.

“Fortunately, the Nakamon youth thought I was a genuine Immortal Venerable, possessing an undying body, and his abilities couldn’t even injure me, so he chose to save time and immediately flee.” Luo Feng inwardly sighed. “But then again, even if he had attacked me at that time, my golden-horned beast avatar has the Jianghuang armor protecting it, with the Moyun Battle Suit worn directly underneath, providing two layers of protection… even if he self-destructed, I might not necessarily die.”

The Moyun Vine, being of massive size,

So forming the Moyun Battle Suit to protect the entire golden-horned beast was naturally effortless.

Suddenly, a large silver beast appeared outside the black flying saucer hovering above the lake, and then the black flying saucer vanished into thin air.

Whoosh!

The silver beast dove straight down into the lake.

It dove all the way to a depth of tens of thousands of kilometers before the golden-horned beast finally stopped. The cosmic secret realm is full of dangers; for instance, the coldness of the lake water alone is enough to freeze a Domain Lord to death, but naturally poses no threat to the golden-horned beast.

“Irina.”

“Master.”

“Deploy the million monarch legion, and give our dear opponent another fireworks show.”

“Yes, Master.”

The golden-horned beast gazed down. This was a vast and deep lake, with the deepest parts exceeding a million kilometers, some areas only twenty or thirty thousand kilometers deep. The golden-horned beast seemed to see through the lakebed rock layers, spotting the black-armored youth hiding in a cave below. From the previous battle, the golden-horned beast clearly knew… it was impossible to kill the opponent through conventional combat, especially since the youth could use ‘Time Pause’.

Previously, Luo Feng didn’t know the opponent’s true capabilities.

Now that he knows the opponent’s abilities, naturally, he must eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop, giving the opponent no chance whatsoever.

“Kill the alien opponent within 30 seconds!”

“Buzzzz~~~” One by one, ferocious Tiger Beetle kings emerged around the golden-horned beast. A million Tiger Beetle warriors, like countless locusts, encircled the golden-horned beast, with the insect hive positioned right beside it.

The golden-horned beast shielded all the commotion with its large-scale detector.

Because it was maintaining a distance of about 600,000 kilometers from the opponent, while the opponent’s miniature detector had a radius of only 20 kilometers, naturally unable to detect anything happening here.

“Attack.” Luo Feng ordered.

“The exact coordinates are…” Luo Feng informed Irina.

Below the lake bed’s rock layers, in a cave, an F9-class spaceship was parked. He had more than ten F9-class spaceships because he had twelve immortal servants, although their progress rates varied. The strongest were the two who had always followed him.

The other ten included six Venerable Counts and four ordinary immortal commanders.

Inside the F9-class spaceship, one of the cabins was made of G-grade metal. This small cabin, only 10 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 5 meters high, was more expensive than more than ten F9-class spaceships combined.

“Your Highness, the Silver-Winged King is preoccupied with his own affairs. The Mechanical Race has placed a bounty on him across the entire Yanlong Continent. If he keeps flying in the air, he might be discovered by the Mechanical Race faction… so it’s normal that he dares not chase and is not chasing. Moreover, he can’t do anything to Your Highness, so there’s no need to worry.”

Three servants were beside him.

“Hmm.” The black-armored youth nodded silently.

“This G-grade cabin should withstand that terrifying attack from before to some extent.” The black-armored youth thought to himself.

Even the strongest cabin would only reduce the impact by about 90 percent.

Luo Feng had the Shiwu Wings; their materials and effects were much better than the G-grade cabin, capable of absorbing over 90 percent of the impact.

“Enemy attack!”

The black-armored youth’s expression suddenly changed.

Boom!

Immediately, an incredibly terrifying attack instantly tore through layers of rock and directly struck the spaceship. This caused the black-armored youth’s eyes to fill with shock and fury: “I didn’t detect any scanner. How could I be attacked? Could it be an enemy even more formidable than the Silver-Winged King, with a large scanner more advanced than my miniature scanner?”

Boom~~~

The F9-class spaceship was hit head-on and was like a paper box, instantly torn apart. The individual cabins inside the spaceship burst like soap bubbles, and the violent explosion’s shockwave struck the G-grade cabin.

“Bang!” The G-grade cabin was like a football kicked by a god.

Zooom!

It was propelled out like a meteor, with the surrounding million kilometers of space instantly torn open into a cosmic rift. The front of the G-grade cabin was already dented from the impact, and a crack appeared in the center of the dent. The cabin tumbled through the infinite ‘spatial interlayer,’ and the black-armored youth inside suffered even more.

He sensed the attack and instantly recalled his three servants.

However, the combined assault of the insectoid army was utterly devastating. In an instant, they obliterated the F9-class starship, and the resulting shockwave struck the G-grade cabin. Though the cabin itself wasn’t destroyed, it sustained severe cracks. The tremendous impact… reduced the chairs, tables, and all other objects inside to dust and nothingness. The very space within the cabin was violently shaken into streams of particles. Even the Venerable Initiate—the black-armored youth—who was shielded by the cabin, had his body instantly shattered by the force of the blast.

“Zooom!” He reformed as a whole again.

“To think… to think it actually destroyed 3% of my immortal divine body.” The black-armored young man couldn’t contain his shock and fury. Had it not been for the G-grade cabin, he would likely have been completely annihilated just moments ago. Immediately after… he hurriedly expanded his law domain.

At this moment, he was already amidst the turbulent flow of spatial fragments.

“Silverwing King!” Through the Law Domain, he clearly saw a massive silver beast charging recklessly through the chaotic space fragments outside, flying directly toward the cabin amidst the spatial turbulence.
