Luo Feng had just entered the Nine Nether Whirlpool when he was struck by an overwhelming force of tearing and crushing, as if being ground by a millstone. His entire body crackled under the strain, his face contorted in agony.
“Just this tearing and crushing force alone could obliterate me!” Luo Feng was alarmed.
“Zhenfeng Star!”
Without hesitation, Luo Feng summoned a Zhenfeng Star, and immediately dove into it.
Whoosh!
The Zhenfeng Star was a treasure of sealing, containing an independent space. As long as one hid inside this star, external attacks would be reduced to a thousandth or even ten-thousandth of their original strength by the star itself. However, there was a major drawback to staying inside the Zhenfeng Star—enemies could directly seize the star, and movement and evasion inside it were significantly hindered.
This was also the main reason Luo Feng hadn’t taken refuge in the Zhenfeng Star while being chased earlier.
…
Inside the Zhenfeng Star was a beautiful world, with streaks of golden light faintly visible across the sky and a vast, thick land below.
Luo Feng stood within it, his consciousness merging with the Zhenfeng Star as he extended his mental force to detect the outside.
“It’s somewhat similar to those spatial vortices in the mysterious realm,” Luo Feng thought. Previously, he had been thrown into the spatial realm due to a space vortex, and only by the fortunate transmission of the ‘Spatial Heart’ did his Mosha Clan clone gain a tremendous opportunity.
“We’ve arrived.”
Luo Feng quickly sensed that the surroundings had stabilized.
His mental force swept outward, startling him. He clearly sensed a foreign race army stationed within hundreds of kilometers around. All the elite warriors were muscular figures with blood-red bodies and curved red horns, clearly belonging to the same race as the alien cultivator who had pursued the Howling Mirror King earlier.
“Hmm, a treasure?”
“What kind of treasure is this?” A few alien warriors from the nearest patrol squad spotted the star that had appeared out of nowhere and flew over immediately. But soon after, they felt a wave of mental force sweeping past.
“An outsider!”
“It’s an outsider!”
The alien warriors immediately roared in fury.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the star vanished, and a man clad in silver armor with silver wings appeared out of thin air.
“I won’t be staying around,” Luo Feng glanced around. There were three hundred immortals in this garrison, each one formidable. The leader’s aura was especially powerful—likely a top-tier King-level warrior.
“If even a small garrison unit is this powerful, then considering the number of ‘Nine Nether Vortexes’ in the Nine Nether Sea, there must be numerous such heavily guarded teleportation points,” Luo Feng thought with a shiver. Even the human race wouldn’t be so extravagant as to deploy three hundred immortals to guard a single location.
Whoosh!
Startled but quick to act, Luo Feng spread his wings and shot into the sky.
“It’s an outsider!”
“Pursue him!”
The alien soldiers became excited and thrilled, like hunters spotting their prey. The squad leader roared, “First and Second Squads, follow me! Third Squad, continue guarding!”
“Awooooo!”
“Awooooo!”
Instantly, hundreds of blood-red figures shot into the sky, howling in excitement. About two hundred of them gave chase in Luo Feng’s direction.
…
As Luo Feng fled, he quickly sensed the difference between this world and the outside.
“Such formidable resistance!” Luo Feng raised his gaze to the heavens. This was a unique domain, distinct from other regions of the Nine Nether Time-Space. Dazzling stars adorned the sky, while visible crimson mist drifted through the air like delicate threads, saturating the world with an intense and extraordinary energy.
This power completely suppressed spatial fluctuations and all forms of divine kingdom teleportation.
“No teleportation!”
“No divine kingdom teleportation!”
Luo Feng now understood why even alien cultivators at the Cosmic Sovereign level had to rely on ‘Nine Nether Vortexes’—similar to wormholes—to exit, rather than teleporting or using divine kingdom transmission.
“Awooooo!”
“Ha ha ha!”
“Outsider, this is our domain. You outsiders are greatly suppressed here, while we are unaffected. You can’t escape!” Voices carried through divine power, directly exploding in Luo Feng’s ears.
Luo Feng glanced back. The blood-red figures were rapidly closing in. According to his perception, the crimson mist in this world suppressed spatial fluctuations, yet the alien beings flew through it as effortlessly as fish in water.
“Hmph!”
“Do you really think these immortals can catch me?” Luo Feng’s Murderous Wu Wings immediately stirred up spatial turbulence, and his speed surged rapidly.
The alien warriors could only watch helplessly as Luo Feng grew increasingly distant, soon shrinking into a tiny silver speck before vanishing from their sight. They stared at each other in stunned disbelief.
“How can he be so fast?”
“This outsider is only an immortal. In our homeland, how can he be faster than us?”
The alien warriors were taken aback. Over countless eons, they had accumulated experience in dealing with outsiders. If the intruder was an ‘immortal-level outsider,’ once entering their home world, their speed would be greatly reduced and they could be easily caught. If the intruder was a ‘cosmic emperor-level outsider,’ they would immediately report it and summon their own cosmic emperor-level experts.
“Cursed!” The largest, horned blood-red figure roared furiously, “Letting an immortal outsider escape!”
“Captain, what do we do?”
“What now?”
The other warriors looked toward their leader.
The towering blood-red figure growled, “Report it! Or do you want to die?”
…
The vast world stretched endlessly beneath a sky filled with stars, faint crimson currents drifting through the air.
This world also had mountains, rivers, flowers, and grass.
“What a huge world! I’ve already fled billions of kilometers and haven’t seen any sign of the aliens,” Luo Feng sat cross-legged in a patch of grass, completely hidden by the thick vegetation. “This suggests that their population must be small, but their strength is formidable.”
“No teleportation, no divine kingdom transmission,” Luo Feng thought grimly. “In other words, I can’t escape. I’m just prey to be hunted and killed by this alien race!”
“According to legend, this is the core of the Nine Nether Seas.”
“Judging by the cosmic coordinates, I’m still within the Nine幽 Time-Space.”
Luo Feng checked the coordinates and discovered…
This world was the lowest realm of the Nine Nether Seas.
“Although I can’t teleport, using the Mosha Clan clone’s innate ability ‘Domain,’ it’s still possible to enter,” Luo Feng mused. As long as he wasn’t being pursued, the Mosha Clan clone could easily infiltrate a place.
“I’ll wait for now. The Mosha Clan clone has been drifting for so long. There’s still a month until the final operation. I mustn’t fail at the last moment.”
“And even if the Mosha Clan clone does enter, escaping again won’t be certain.”
“Alright, I’ll contact my master first.”
Luo Feng pondered for a moment. The current situation had exceeded his control, but the ‘Branch of the World Tree’ was something he absolutely must obtain.
…
As Luo Feng contacted his master, the Chaos City Lord, through the virtual universe, deep within the core of the Nine Nether Time-Space, inside a massive ancient city, a virtual world had also been constructed, enabling the native inhabitants to communicate effortlessly with one another through it.
“An outsider! An immortal outsider, and you still failed to capture him!” A blood-red horned giant clad in black armor roared furiously.
“My sons, follow me!”
“Yes, General!”
Inside one of the luxurious mansions in the ancient city, the black-armored, horned giant led an elite squad of ten warriors and flew into the sky.
“Mahatuo,” a voice suddenly echoed in the cosmic emperor’s mind.
The giant’s divine body trembled slightly, and he halted mid-flight, followed by the other alien warriors.
“General?” A warrior asked in confusion.
“It’s the Prince,” the horned giant muttered.
“The Prince?” The ten warriors, each possessing ‘squad leader’-level combat strength, were startled and instinctively bowed. Even the cosmic emperor giant bowed respectfully. In the distance, from the most magnificent palace in the ancient city, dozens of figures flew toward them. Among them were three particularly powerful presences.
The figures soon arrived.
“Your Highness,” the cosmic emperor giant bowed slightly.
“Your Highness,” the ten warriors immediately knelt.
The leader of the dozens of figures had a handsome face, pale skin marked with crimson patterns, and wore a magnificent battle armor of gold and crimson. The armor radiated powerful fluctuations—an artifact of supreme quality, undoubtedly. He was the Prince.
The Prince exuded immense power, yet his appearance was different from all other members of his race.
Whether it was the cosmic emperor giant Mahatuo or the two cosmic emperors and group of immortals following behind the Prince, all had crimson skin and curved red horns.
Judging from appearance alone,
The Prince looked like he belonged to a completely different race than the other generals and soldiers.
“General Mahatuo, I just received news. One of your squads encountered an outsider. And this outsider was merely an immortal, yet he managed to escape your squad’s pursuit?” The Prince’s voice was elegant.
“Yes, Your Highness,” the horned giant replied respectfully.
“Fascinating. An immortal being of such immense power. I’ve heard that among the countless disciples of the Ancestral God Sect, some immortals are truly formidable,” the Prince remarked with refined elegance. “I too am an immortal… I wonder who would prevail in strength between him and myself.”
“Your Highness’s power is boundless. How could that outsider possibly rival you?” Mahatuo quickly replied.
“Do not underestimate outsiders,” the Prince warned. “Come, lead the way. I’ve been bored lately. Hunting down this immortal outsider should be quite interesting.”
“This…” Mahatuo hesitated.
“Are you afraid I might be in danger?” the Prince asked.
“No, Your Highness,” Mahatuo replied.
“Hmph, I have 108 brothers, and not one of us has fallen yet. Where is the danger?” The Prince said confidently. “Let’s go.”
“Yes,” Mahatuo could only comply.
Whoosh!
Instantly, dozens of figures surrounded the Prince as they set out to hunt down the immortal outsider.
