The Power of Moyun

“Sanzi.” Lei Shen swallowed, staring at Luo Feng, who was clad in the Moyun Combat Armor. “Just how strong is this Moyun Teng now?” Hong also fixed his gaze on the Moyun Combat Armor on Luo Feng’s body. The powerful aura emanating from the Moyun Teng as it contracted moments ago had clearly stunned them. “I’m not entirely sure myself,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “Moyun.” Luo Feng’s thoughts stirred, and instantly, a two-meter-tall Moyun Teng emerged from his body, landing on the ground beside him. “Babata, test Moyun’s strength.” Luo Feng mentally communicated with Babata. As a very unique plant lifeform, testing the Moyun Teng’s strength was incredibly difficult. Typically, testing human strength was easy with the help of auxiliary optical computers or intelligent optical computers. Testing fierce beasts and Starry Sky Behemoths was also relatively straightforward. Humans and beasts were both flesh-and-blood creatures. However, plant-based lifeforms didn’t possess ‘internal worlds’ like humans, making their assessment much harder. Especially for the Moyun Teng, once it attached itself and merged with the skin... for instance, when others previously observed and tested Luo Feng’s strength, they could only ascertain Luo Feng’s personal power, but no one could detect the Moyun Teng’s strength. This was due to the Moyun Teng’s unique life structure. To test the Moyun Teng? It had to detach from the body, exist independently, and actively release its aura for its strength to be measured. “Tsk, tsk, that’s quite impressive,” Babata exclaimed. “How much?” Luo Feng pressed, his thoughts racing. “The Moyun Teng’s level is... Cosmic Level Two!” Babata stated. “The Moyun Teng is an incredibly formidable creature. At the same rank and level, 99.99% of humans are no match for it. With your Moyun Teng, cultivated so well, once it reaches the Cosmic Level, it evolves 72 main tendrils. Each main tendril is equivalent to a Cosmic Level Two human warrior. With all 72 tendrils working together... plus its astonishing cellular vitality! Cut off one section, and another grows back. Even Cosmic Level Three humans are no match.” A Cosmic Level Two Moyun Teng was slightly weaker than a Golden Horn Behemoth of the same rank and level. However, a Golden Horn Behemoth at Star Level Seven could easily kill a Star Level Nine human. The Moyun Teng, with its cellular vitality and 72 tendrils, could perhaps even contend with a Cosmic Level Four human. ... A moment later, Luo Feng and the others summoned their cosmic spaceship and parked it at the bottom of a lake within the sprawling mountain range. Inside the cosmic spaceship’s control room. Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, all clad in alloy combat armor, stood before the control panel, gazing at the virtual screen that appeared before them. Aogu, meanwhile, was recuperating in a cabin. “Initiate maximum range scan of the Inner Realm,” Luo Feng commanded. “Yes, Master,” the spaceship’s AI respectfully replied. This particular spaceship was a backup, and Babata hadn’t modified it, so its AI was still the intelligent optical computer that came with it when it was manufactured. *Beep!* On the screen before them, a vast panorama of the Inner Realm instantly appeared. “Luo Feng, what’s the detection range of this spaceship?” Lei Shen asked. “100,000 kilometers, centered on the spaceship,” Luo Feng replied with a smile. “That’s quite a wide detection range,” Hong nodded. Cosmic spaceships all came equipped with their own detection systems. For instance, a cosmic adventure spaceship arriving at a planet could, of course, scan and detect the general situation of the entire planet in a short amount of time. However, this kind of detection was very crude, only detecting approximate populations, whether there were astonishing energy signatures, and so on. As for the planet’s minerals, the strength of its inhabitants, and other details, those could not be detected. This type of detection prioritized ‘range’. Babata’s detection, however, despite its mere 20-kilometer range, could, once activated, detect a planet’s ‘mineral composition,’ ‘human strength,’ ‘combat armor levels,’ ‘what materials alloys were made of,’ ‘human brain domain width,’ and so forth. This demonstrated the extreme meticulousness of its detection. “Master, there are 32,169 humans within the detection range,” the spaceship’s AI reported. “32,169?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “How many teams are they divided into?” “One team of 16,300 people, one team of exactly 10,000 people, one team of 5,862 people, and one team of 7 people,” the spaceship’s AI respectfully replied. Simultaneously, the virtual screen quickly split into four displays, each showing one of the four teams. The small team of seven was currently being hunted... they were being encircled and attacked by three sub-teams belonging to the largest team of 16,300 adventurers. “It’s over, that seven-person team can’t escape,” Lei Shen exclaimed, his eyes wide. “Indeed, they can’t escape; they’re already surrounded,” Hong said. Luo Feng sighed inwardly. In this Inner Realm, it was indeed very difficult for small teams like his to survive. “Our first target will be that large team of 16,300 people, then,” Luo Feng stated. “Oh?” Lei Shen looked over in surprise. “Are you confident?” Hong also asked, puzzled. “Mm,” Luo Feng nodded. ... On the vast, boundless prairie. A seven-person team was being heavily surrounded by several adventurer sub-teams. “We surrender.” “We surrender, don’t kill us! We have Leiting Shi, we’re willing to offer our Leiting Shi!” The seven-person team shouted loudly, their faces filled with terror. From all directions in the distance, there were three teams, each with over a thousand people. Once three thousand people formed an encirclement, how could the seven of them escape? “Haha, surrender?” “Why should we accept your surrender?” The three teams had been in the distance moments ago, but in an instant, they had surged dozens of kilometers, cornering the seven-person team in the center. All 3,000 members of the three teams sneered at the seven-person team. Because they were so confident, the 3,000 weren’t in a hurry to kill them. “Haha, if we kill you, we’ll still get your Leiting Shi, won’t we?” a burly man with black markings on his face laughed heartily. The faces of the surrounded seven instantly turned ashen. “Didn’t you recruit us?” the captain of the seven-person team, a handsome man with dazzling golden hair, shouted loudly. “You said before that as long as we were willing to join you and help you seize Leiting Shi, you would, in the name of your organization, promise to guarantee our safety!” “Haha, foolish, aren’t you? That was at the Alliance Headquarters. At the Alliance Headquarters, killing is forbidden. That’s why we recruited you.” “But in other parts of the Inner Realm, we can just kill you directly. Then everything you have becomes ours, including those cosmic crystals.” “Pitiful fools, you’re too greedy!” Three thousand people surrounded the seven-person team. The seven-person team completely broke down. “Captain.” The other six looked at the handsome golden-haired man. He shook his head in agony, then looked up and pleaded, “I beg you, I’ll give you all our cosmic crystals and Leiting Shi, just spare our lives.” “Still dreaming?” “Truly foolish.” “Pitiful wretches.” The three thousand-person teams chuckled. “Stop playing around, kill them,” a bald man with a face full of fish scales roared. “Yes.” *Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!* In the desperate eyes of the seven-person team, a barrage of psychic weapons, like a rain of arrows, instantly riddled them with holes! Then, from the three teams surrounding the seven corpses in the distance, a team member swiftly flew over and took all the valuables from the bodies. “Captain.” The team member presented the spatial ring to the bald, fish-scaled strongman. “Mm,” the bald, fish-scaled strongman nodded. “Return.” Amidst the vast procession, the bald, fish-scaled strongman was about to inspect the contents of the spatial ring. Suddenly— Swift as lightning! A slender tendril instantly burst from the ground, heavily coiling around the bald, fish-scaled strongman’s legs, and then violently yanked him underground! *Thump!* A hole instantly appeared in the ground, and the bald, fish-scaled strongman vanished. The two vice-captains nearby were still smiling, quite at ease. But out of the corner of their eyes, they noticed some movement. Turning their heads, they saw that their captain, who had been standing right beside them, had vanished, and a hole had appeared in the ground? A hole? The two vice-captains’ eyes widened as they stared at the hole. “Captain!” “What happened?” “Where’s the captain?” The two vice-captains and some surrounding team members were all shocked. Someone had been taken right under their noses. “The captain is down there, no life signs, he’s dead,” a mentalist team member immediately shouted. “He’s 12 meters deep underground.” Immediately, a group of Star Level Nine adventurers burrowed underground, quickly found the captain’s corpse, and brought it back to the surface. “This...” “Good heavens...” The two vice-captains and the surrounding team members stared in shock at their captain’s corpse. The captain’s head had burst open; he was undeniably dead. What was most shocking was... one of the captain’s fingers was broken off, precisely the finger that had worn the spatial ring! “Quickly, notify the squadron leader! The captain’s been killed, and his spatial ring stolen!” ... Meanwhile, deep underground. A slender, long tendril was rapidly retracting. On the tendril was a leaf, which was currently wrapped around the severed finger and the spatial ring. The tendril also had a bracelet looped around it, precisely the bracelet containing Babata’s AI. The signal emitted by Babata, radiating 20 kilometers, instantly connected with the cosmic spaceship’s signal, which spread 100,000 kilometers. “Luo Feng, Luo Feng.” “Received, received,” Luo Feng replied, standing inside the cosmic spaceship. “Three long tendrils hunted the captains of three small teams respectively, all successful.” “Excellent. Continue dealing with that large team,” Luo Feng said. “Alright. However... that large team likely possesses precise detection equipment. They use such instruments to detect Leiting Shi, and those instruments will detect the Moyun Teng,” Babata said. “If I detect signals from those detection instruments, I will choose to stop the hunt.” “Understood. The hunt must proceed on the premise that the Moyun Teng remains undetected by other teams. Ensure its stealth,” Luo Feng instructed. “Alright, I’ll continue then,” Babata cut off communication. This hunt... It primarily relied on the Moyun Teng. The Moyun Teng would continuously advance by burrowing underground, while Babata would accompany it, acting as a ‘guide.’ Given Babata’s meticulous detection capabilities, it was naturally incredibly precise. And the Moyun Teng’s strength truly feared no team.
