Chapter 639: The Hunt for Immortal Deities

A blood-red triangular spacecraft hovered atop a dirt hill on this desolate mineral planet.

In other regions of this mineral planet, another thirty colossal interstellar warships were stationed, along with a spacecraft belonging to the Tawen Squad of the Jingu Clan. Among all these warships and spacecraft, clearly the central vessel was the Yimo Star.

Inside a dining hall aboard the Yimo Star.

“When are we ever going to get going?” a young warrior clad in battle armor, who was eating noisily within the dining hall, impatiently shouted, “Our intelligence department isn’t giving us accurate information. We don’t even know where the target is right now, so how can we possibly act? Are we really going to wait forever like this?”

“Be quiet.”

The golden-armored elder seated at the table shot him a glance.

“Wait for orders!” the tall, gaunt Ninth Army Commander said coldly. “The intelligence department doesn’t care about your complaints.”

The battle-armored youth mumbled something under his breath.

“Footsteps?” The Ninth Army Commander and the golden-armored elder simultaneously turned their heads. At that moment, the cabin door at the far end of the dining hall slid open with a loud hiss. Luo Feng, wearing a smiling expression, strode in, followed closely by the immortal deity Dylan.

Seeing the smile on Luo Feng’s face, both the Ninth Army Commander and the golden-armored elder couldn’t help but smile as well.

“Seems like good news is coming,” the battle-armored youth muttered quietly.

“Friends!”

Luo Feng called out loudly, “Our immortal deity ‘Yaohai’ is currently holding a banquet, right on the Imperial Capital Planet!”

“Haha, excellent!” The battle-armored youth leapt up excitedly.

The golden-armored elder and the Ninth Army Commander quickly stood up as well.

“Didn’t expect the intelligence department to be so efficient for once,” the Ninth Army Commander said with a smile. The golden-armored elder beside him chuckled, “Probably because they dare not slack off when it comes to Prince Luo Feng.”

“Come, follow me to the control room,” Luo Feng commanded.

Immediately—

Prince Luo Feng, his bodyguard Dylan, the leader of the Tawen Squad, the golden-armored elder Sifan Qi and Kashina, along with the Ninth Army Commander, formed the entire upper echelon of command for this operation. Together, they headed toward the control room of the Yimo Star.

Standing inside the control room,

Luo Feng gazed at the desolate, bleak scenery of the mineral planet outside and coldly said, “Tawen Squad, the 30th Army of the Ninth Legion, target the Imperial Capital Planet of the Mengyou Empire. Move out!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

On the control panel screen were individual portraits, a total of 31 portraits, representing the commanders of the 30 interstellar warships and the Tawen Squad’s spacecraft.

“Boom!”

The Yimo Star and the Tawen, these two vessels, transformed one after another into twin streaks of radiance, soaring swiftly skyward toward the boundless cosmos.

“Boom~~~”

The ground shook violently.

Thirty colossal interstellar warships, each longer than ten thousand meters, slowly lifted off into the air. Their speed increased rapidly, and finally, they transformed into thirty streaks of meteor light, directly flying into the cosmic expanse.

As Luo Feng led the cosmic army swiftly through the dark universe toward the Mengyou Empire’s Imperial Capital Planet, the planet itself was bustling with activity.

The Imperial Capital Planet had always been the center of economy and politics, gathering the uppermost echelon of this cosmic nation.

On this day, a grand and highly prestigious imperial banquet was being held within the palace of the Imperial Capital Planet, attended exclusively by the highest-ranking members of the Mengyou Empire.

“Second Princess, I heard that the immortal being who has come to our Mengyou Empire this time is a high-ranking figure from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation,” a beautiful woman dressed in a purple suit, holding a wine glass, whispered to another beautiful woman with turquoise hair in a corner of the banquet hall. “So even our clan ancestor has personally arrived to host him.”

“If our clan ancestor is hosting, then the guest must be an immortal deity,” the turquoise-haired princess’s eyes sparkled. “I’ve never seen an immortal deity from the cosmic nation before.”

“You’ll see him soon enough, Princess,” the beautiful woman smiled.

At this time, the banquet hall was already very lively.

The high-ranking aristocrats of the empire who had arrived early were exchanging whispers with each other. Some beautiful women were also eyeing the young aristocrats they favored. Generally, such high-level banquets were also the best occasions for young people to find potential spouses.

Outside the Imperial Capital Planet.

Whoosh!

It was as if ripples were spreading across the starry sky. First to appear was a blood-red triangular spacecraft, followed closely by the Tawen spacecraft, and finally, one by one, the colossal interstellar warships emerged, gathering in the darkness of space like a dark swarm.

“Your Highness, that is the Mengyou Empire’s Imperial Capital Planet,” Dylan smiled, pointing ahead.

Luo Feng also looked.

From the perspective of outer space, the Mengyou Empire’s Imperial Capital Planet seemed to be veiled in a thin mist, its entire body faintly emitting a pale green glow.

“What a beautiful planet,” Luo Feng softly praised. “Unfortunately, today it will be caught in the flames of war.”

“It’s unavoidable,” Dylan said solemnly.

This mission aimed to eliminate the immortal deity Yaohai, a Count-level immortal, and Jeffries, a high-ranking immortal general. As immortal deities capable of affecting entire planets, once the operation commenced, there was no doubt the planet would inevitably be caught in the crossfire.

“Elder Sifan Qi,” Luo Feng called.

“Your Highness,” Elder Sifan Qi of the Tawen Squad listened attentively.

“Later, you will lead the team to eliminate Yaohai and Jeffries,” Luo Feng said softly. “I hope that, if possible, we can try to let the ordinary citizens survive. Of course… our primary objective is to eliminate those two immortal deities.”

“Understood,” Elder Sifan Qi nodded.

Luo Feng looked at the beautiful planet in the starry sky, his eyes gradually sharpening. He coldly commanded, “The 30th Army of the Ninth Legion, seal off the entire Imperial Capital Planet from space. During the operation, any spacecraft attempting to escape from the Imperial Capital Planet must be destroyed without exception!”

“Understood!”

“Understood!”

Thirty voices almost simultaneously echoed.

“Begin the operation!” Luo Feng ordered.

Immediately, the thirty massive interstellar warships that had previously surrounded the Yimo Star began to disperse, preparing to spread out from outer space and encircle the Imperial Capital Planet, effectively sealing off the entire outer space region around it.

“Elder Sifan Qi, you may begin your operation as well,” Luo Feng turned to Sifan Qi.

“Your Highness, rest assured. Our Tawen Squad will definitely eliminate Yaohai and Jeffries,” the golden-armored elder’s eyes gleamed with confidence.

“Remember, you must activate the synchronized transmission broadcast through the virtual universe network,” Luo Feng said.

Synchronized transmission could instantly capture and record the battle scenes, synchronizing them to the virtual universe network. Since this transmission was controlled by the ‘Virtual Universe System,’ it was impossible to falsify. Detailed processes of missions like this one must undergo synchronized transmission.

“Understood,” the golden-armored elder nodded.

“Elder, everything depends on you,” Luo Feng solemnly looked at the elder. “Eliminating these two is the most crucial part of this operation. If we fail, this mission will be considered a major failure. We must not let them escape. Elder Sifan Qi… I will await your good news here in space!”

“Move out!” Luo Feng watched as the golden-armored elder departed.

The golden-armored elder transformed into a blur, swiftly flying out of the Yimo Star’s cabin and entering the nearby Tawen spacecraft.

Inside the Tawen spacecraft, there was an immortal king-level deity and seven immortal count-level deities. They quickly transformed into streaks of light, directly flying toward the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital Planet.

“Babyta, once the battle begins, start the remote broadcast. I need to see the battle unfolding inside the Imperial Capital Planet,” Luo Feng said.

“No problem! The Virtual Universe Company has upgraded many systems, and since we are very close to the Imperial Capital Planet, it’s well within our detection range,” Babyta excitedly shouted on the control panel screen.

“Remember, initiate detection only once the battle begins, or we might scare them off.”

“Understood.”

Luo Feng silently gazed at the serene, beautiful planet and the thirty menacing interstellar warships, which resembled thirty satellites encircling the Imperial Capital Planet.

“It’s beginning!”

Luo Feng took a deep breath.

In the banquet hall.

“The Immortal Sovereign has arrived!” A majestic voice echoed throughout the opulent banquet hall. The previously noisy chatter instantly fell silent. The elite members of the royal family and the high-ranking aristocrats of the Mengyou Empire stood humbly and respectfully, waiting.

From the side door of the banquet hall, three figures emerged one after another.

An ethereal and immortal ripple of law permeated the grand hall, pressing down upon all present—be they World Lords, Domain Lords, warriors of Cosmic-level, or even the countless ordinary souls—with an overwhelming, suffocating weight.

“Pay homage to the Immortal Sovereign!”

As a World Lord knelt first,

Instantly, everyone in the banquet hall dropped to their knees in unison, shouting loudly: “Pay homage to the Immortal Sovereign.”

The voices reverberated throughout the banquet hall.

Standing atop the high platform in the banquet hall was a youth clad in emerald-green battle armor. His face was handsome, and a peculiar crystal was embedded in his forehead. At first glance, he looked like an innocent, youthful neighbor boy. Yet this seemingly simple and youthful teenager was the founding emperor of the Mengyou Empire and the clan ancestor of the Yaohai family!

He was Yaohai!

The one who held the highest power in the Mengyou Empire.

“Today, I am very happy,” Yaohai smiled. His voice echoed in the ears and minds of everyone present. Standing beside the high platform were two other immortal deities. One was tall and muscular, with a pointed head. He was the second-in-command of the Mengyou Empire, Yaohai’s disciple—the immortal deity Jeffries!

The other was clad in a luxurious dark golden robe, with snow-white long hair and a smiling face, shining like the sun.

“Because Lord Longchier of the Cosmic Nation has come to visit our Mengyou…” Yaohai’s voice abruptly stopped.

He furrowed his brows.

Jeffries and the white-haired immortal deity also frowned simultaneously, lifting their heads. All three immortal deities sensed a powerful divine force passing over them, a highly disrespectful act.

The gathered aristocrats and high-ranking officials in the banquet hall looked up in confusion.

“Haha, what a lively banquet.”

“Gaga, humans sure do know how to enjoy themselves.”

“Yeah, look at that little kid standing on the platform, hahaha.”

Various grating voices, like nails on a chalkboard, echoed throughout the banquet hall, causing the aristocrats and officials to instinctively cover their ears.
