At the edge of the Yanji Continent, there stood a magnificent golden palace atop a desolate desert, conspicuously towering over the barren landscape.
Typically, powerful alien warriors would hide in secret locations such as mountain caves, underground caverns, or underwater grottos. A palace so conspicuously visible at a glance would only be inhabited by an ultimate superpower at the peak of the Yanji Continent. And the current owner of this palace was…
King Jiujian!
An existence at the peak of the Monarch level, possessing the ability to teleport instantly. On this Yanji Continent, there was truly no one he feared.
“Zuo!”
Above the golden palace, suddenly appeared a figure approximately three meters tall, seemingly a mass of humanoid black flame. This black flame solidified into a black-robed warrior, completely shrouded in a black robe.
“Hei Niao King.”
The formidable presence within the palace, King Jiujian, was the first to sense the enemy’s arrival and immediately projected his voice, “You belong to the demon faction. What brings you here? Seeking a battle?” Both of them ranked among the mightiest beings on the Yanji Continent, each possessing the ability to teleport. Even if they were to engage in combat, it would merely be a futile expenditure of time.
“Jiujian King! Ciweika!” the black-robed warrior instantly transmitted his voice. “I know the current coordinates of King Silverwing. If you want these coordinates, exchange them for treasures worth 200 million Yulan units. Remember… these are the current coordinates. You’d better hurry, or King Silverwing will escape.”
“Zuo! Zuo!”
Two figures appeared outside the palace. One was the short and wiry Jiujian King, with a pair of beast claws and wearing a silver mask. The other was the mechanoid warrior Ciweika. Since issuing the bounty, Ciweika had stayed with Jiujian King, because… once the accurate coordinates were obtained, he could quickly reach any location on the Yanji Continent together with Jiujian King.
“You say you know where King Silverwing is? But just a set of coordinates, and you’re asking for two hundred million Yulan units worth of treasure?” Ciweika transmitted his voice in anger.
“It’s treasures worth two hundred million Yulan units. I can’t use your mechanoid currency,” transmitted Hei Niao King. “You can keep wasting time if you want. The more time you waste, the farther King Silverwing will run, making it harder for you to find him again. Already, 12 seconds have passed.”
“Damn it.”
Ciweika gritted his teeth inwardly.
Even a peak Monarch-ranked warrior couldn’t earn money that fast. Usually, without risking their lives for tens of thousands of years, they probably wouldn’t earn that much. Now, just a piece of intelligence was being sold for such an exorbitant price.
“I’ll buy it.” Ciweika flipped his hand and produced a spatial ring from his palm, immediately throwing the ring toward Hei Niao King.
Hei Niao King reached out and caught the spatial ring, quickly inspecting its contents.
“It’s sufficient.”
“This is the coordinate.” Hei Niao King immediately handed the coordinates over to Ciweika and Jiujian King.
“You will accompany us.” Ciweika said.
“Don’t worry, this information was transmitted by another low-tier Monarch-ranked warrior, likely sent just before his death, so it’s definitely accurate. Since I’ve accepted treasures worth two hundred million Yulan units, of course, I will go with you. Let’s go.” Hei Niao King was calm and confident. On the Yanji Continent, there was truly no one he feared.
“Zuo!”
Ciweika, Jiujian King, and Hei Niao King instantly teleported, with Jiujian King leading the way, directly transporting to the bottom of the lake where Luo Feng and the black-armored youth were fighting.
…
Within the spatial rift.
After killing the black-armored youth using a Huoshen Core Crystal worth 800 million points, the Golden-Horned Giant didn’t bother to carefully search and study the treasures. Instead, he quickly collected the G-rank metal chamber, the two world rings, the black whip, and other spoils of war into his own world ring.
“Better to leave quickly before things change!”
“The black-armored youth might have summoned someone to deal with me before his death. I should leave now and study the treasures later after I’m safe.”
“Zuo!”
The Golden-Horned Giant quickly broke through the spatial barrier and returned to the original cosmic space, reappearing deep at the bottom of the lake. Immediately, he switched to his Earthling form, merging the Shiwu Wings into his Earthling body. The reason for this was that the Golden-Horned Giant’s form was simply too massive—over a hundred kilometers long, with a tail and wings equally massive.
The micro-probe, with a detection radius of merely 20 kilometers, was unable to completely obscure the silhouette of the Golden-Horned Giant.
Boom!
The Earthling form spread his wings and shot upward instantly, breaking through the rocky layers and emerging from the cold, deep lake water. Within just a few seconds, he burst out of the lake’s surface.
“Zuo!”
He quickly flew away into the distance.
“The battle just now was too intense. The combined attack of the insect race army might attract other powerful warriors. I need to leave this place quickly,” Luo Feng thought, flapping his wings and using the “Three Oscillations Cosmic Travel” technique. His speed kept increasing. Although he was in a hurry, Luo Feng’s heart was filled with joy.
He had planned for a long time to obtain the treasures on this alien warrior.
The first time he discovered the treasure summoning, he wanted to fight but held himself back, returning to the barracks base to enhance his strength before coming back. After painstaking efforts, he finally succeeded in killing his opponent and obtaining the desired treasures.
…
In the cave at the bottom of the lake.
Hoo!
Ciweika, Jiujian King, and Hei Niao King, three powerful warriors from different races, appeared simultaneously.
“Strong energy reaction,” transmitted Jiujian King.
“Very strong,” Hei Niao King was also taken aback.
“Silverwing King might be here. Let’s start scanning,” Ciweika wasted no time, immediately deploying large and micro detectors, which spread out in all directions around them instantly.
…
“Not good,” muttered Luo Feng as he sped through the air, activating both his macro and micro detectors simultaneously.
The large detector was used for detecting enemies.
The micro-detector was meant to protect himself, alerting him to stronger enemies.
As soon as the Black Bird King, Jiujian King, and Ciweika appeared in the cave, Luo Feng’s large detector immediately picked up their presence.
“It’s them!” Luo Feng was startled.
He didn’t recognize Ciweika, although they had fought before, Luo Feng had never seen Ciweika’s true form.
However, he immediately identified the Black Bird King and the Nine Swords King through the detector. Back at the military base, Luo Feng had interacted with several Monarch-level immortals and had specifically researched some of the most dangerous alien forces on the Yanji Continent, compiling a list of individuals not to be provoked.
Hei Niao King and Jiujian King were both on that list, so Luo Feng recognized them immediately.
“Instant teleportation straight here! That mechanoid… he’s probably the one who placed the bounty on me, and he’s obviously very wealthy,” Luo Feng identified Ciweika and thought inwardly with a smile. “I should thank you too. Without the resources you provided, it might have taken Mo Yun a long time to become an immortal, and I wouldn’t have been able to kill that Shi Zu warrior and obtain the treasures so quickly.”
“Stop!”
Luo Feng, who had been flying swiftly, suddenly decelerated and began moving at a much slower speed, shielded by his micro-detector. Simultaneously, the instant he detected enemies through the detector, he immediately deactivated his large detector.
He dared not fly too fast because doing so would create spatial ripples and air blasts, making it easy for enemies to locate him.
…
Ciweika, Jiujian King, and Hei Niao King had all activated their detectors.
“No one?”
The three powerful warriors were somewhat surprised.
“Hei Niao King,” Ciweika looked at him. “I trusted you and gave you the treasure directly, but now we can’t find Silverwing King at all. Did you give the coordinates too late, or are you deliberately deceiving me?”
“From the moment I received the coordinates until now, it’s been less than 30 seconds,” transmitted the Black Bird King. “In 30 seconds, he couldn’t have traveled more than 9 million kilometers. Our large-scale detectors have a minimum range of 300 million kilometers. No matter what, he couldn’t have evaded detection. The fact that we can’t locate him now means his micro-detectors must be extremely advanced.”
“Advanced?”
Ciweika was dissatisfied. “I’ve fought him before. His detector wasn’t that good.”
“You’ve fought him before, but that was in the past. Couldn’t he have bought a better detector?” The Black Bird King was also displeased.
“Enough arguing!” Jiujian King transmitted urgently. “I’ll go check the spatial rift to see if he’s hiding there. Also, Hei Niao King, help sense the space and confirm there are no unusual fluctuations. Any special fluctuations might indicate Silverwing King.”
“Alright.” Hei Niao King nodded. “I accepted the treasure. I’m willing to help a little.”
Rip!
Jiujian King immediately slashed open a spatial rift with his claws and entered the spatial rift for inspection. He emerged just a few seconds later.
“How is it?” Ciweika looked at him.
“There were no unusual movements among the countless space fragments in the spatial rift,” Jiujian King said. “I estimate Silverwing King would return to the original universe after the battle. It’s unlikely he’d remain in the spatial rift. Let’s carefully inspect the surrounding space first.”
“Alright.” Ciweika nodded.
There were many ways to inspect space.
The simplest was to use immortal power for detection, which was very crude.
A superior approach involved utilizing detectors, contingent upon their level of sophistication. Basic detectors were roughly as effective as an ordinary immortal’s detection capabilities, whereas advanced models could even exceed the detection prowess of a Monarch-ranked warrior.
Even more advanced were the “Law Domain” and “World Projection.”
Law Domains and World Projections were techniques granted by the cosmic operational laws to powerful warriors. These weren’t techniques that could be developed simply by studying or comprehending the laws. Within a Law Domain… a god was the master, and within a World Projection, a realm ruler was the master, both able to clearly control everything within their respective ranges.
Of course—
Techniques like “Lightning Prison” and “Nine-Heavenly Kingdom” were also spatial control methods that could scan through space.
“I’ll deploy the Sixfold Hell Boundary within a 100 million kilometer diameter,” Ciweika said gravely. “As long as he’s within 100 million kilometers, I will definitely find him.”
Buzz~~~
The three powerful warriors simultaneously appeared above the lake.
Then, the Jiujian King, leading Ciweika, swiftly teleported to six different locations, leaving a base ship at each of the six spots… It should be noted that the Nine-Heavenly Kingdom was extremely mysterious, painstakingly created by a master of the mechanoid race at the Venerable level. It had numerous applications. Although one base ship was lost, preventing the deployment of the most powerful Nine-Heavenly Kingdom,
The remaining eight base ships still had many applications.
In fact, even a single base ship could deploy a control area more advanced than the “Lightning Prison.”
With six base ships, the “Sixfold Hell Boundary” could be deployed.
“Buzz~~~~” Countless hazy rays covered a range of hundreds of millions of kilometers, spreading over the surrounding mountains, penetrating deep into the endless earth millions of kilometers below, enveloping the vast lake…
Everything was under complete control.
And Luo Feng, flying slowly and cautiously to avoid creating spatial ripples, was naturally completely enveloped within the ‘Sixfold Hell Boundary.’
