Die!

When the black spherical instrument exploded tens of thousands of kilometers away, the sound couldn't propagate through the vacuum of space. Coupled with the vast amount of debris and cargo stored nearby, Luo Feng and the two white-robed figures, tens of thousands of kilometers distant, neither saw nor heard the explosion. Furthermore, the energy shockwave was too weak to reach them. Naturally, they remained completely unsuspecting. “Luo Feng, the probing signals around us have vanished,” Babata exclaimed in alarm. “What? Vanished?” Luo Feng asked, startled. When they entered the Wulong Starfield to select a Zerg body unit, Babata had informed Luo Feng that it could clearly detect the violent and overbearing probing signals. These scattered, enveloping signals were completely undisguised, and after all, the Wulong Starfield's alert system was designed to cover the entire starfield. A diameter spanning millions of light-years! Other places couldn't even conceive of such extravagance. Typically, powerful planets would at most set up alert systems within or around their own planetary vicinity. To monitor tens of thousands of star systems across an entire starfield… even the strongest human factions couldn't possibly employ surveillance instruments of such high caliber. For instance, the probing instrument Babata used, with its mere 20-kilometer range, was extremely advanced, yet its scope was too limited. In the vastness of space, would an instrument only cover a 20-kilometer radius? How many instruments would the entire Wulong Starfield require? What would be the cost? It simply wasn't worth it. Furthermore, there was no need to conceal the fact that the Wulong Starfield was under surveillance, so these relatively crude yet highly cost-effective monitoring instruments were naturally employed. The moment that instrument was destroyed, Babata discovered that all those overbearing probing signals instantly vanished. “Why would the probing signals suddenly disappear? Is the instrument malfunctioning, or…?” Numerous thoughts flashed through Luo Feng’s mind, and he grew slightly wary. “Hm?” Luo Feng’s eyes suddenly widened. Right in front of him, Ke Sier, who had a black scaled scalp and had just been chatting and laughing with the other two white-robed individuals, suddenly unleashed a dazzling yet tragic blade light. At such close range, and completely unprepared, the two white-robed guides likely barely registered what was happening before the blade light instantly sliced through their heads! Their heads split in two, flying upwards, while the brutal blade energy surged directly down their necks into their World Lord bodies, striking their life cores. *Thump! Thump!* Both life cores shattered simultaneously. In less than 0.01 seconds, the two World Lord pinnacle experts, who posed the greatest threat to Ke Sier, were instantly annihilated. “Ke Sier!” “An assassin!” Babata’s shriek echoed in Luo Feng’s mind. “Quick, quick, quick, escape! This assassin undoubtedly has many tricks. To be able to strike so brazenly within the Wulong Starfield, they must have been lurking for a long time. They wouldn’t act unless certain of success, and once they do, they won’t give you a chance. Luo Feng, escape!!!” However… it was too late! A battle blade appeared in Ke Sier’s hand. At ultra-close range, he instantly struck, killing the two pinnacle World Lord experts. A cold glint flickered in his eerie green eyes. “The greatest obstacles have been removed. With them dead, no one can protect Luo Feng. And they can’t send an alert to the surveillance system. Luo Feng, at best, will send a distress email to Longjue King… Longjue King probably won’t rush. He’ll connect to the Virtual Universe as usual, then check his email, which will take about 30 seconds. After reading it, he’ll immediately realize the trouble and certainly issue an alert, arranging for powerful individuals to come. Once the alert system receives the warning, its first action will be to transmit a message to the two guides accompanying Luo Feng. This transmission will last 20 seconds. Only if unsuccessful will it arrange for powerful individuals… Because of the vast distance, mere teleportation won’t suffice to reach this location. Even a Cosmic Venerable would need to utilize God Kingdom teleportation and instantaneous movement to arrive in a very short time, at least 30 seconds to get here.” “I am a pinnacle Ninth-tier World Lord, he is a Ninth-tier Domain Lord.” “He might have some attached lifeforms for protection, but no matter what, one fact remains unchanged… his soul is merely at the Ninth-tier Domain Lord level.” “Mental attack!” “Kill!” Ke Sier had planned everything meticulously. As he killed the two pinnacle World Lord experts, these thoughts flashed through his mind, and his gaze simultaneously fixed on Luo Feng. *Whoosh!* The invisible mental attack instantly surged directly into Luo Feng’s body. Between a Ninth-tier World Lord and a Ninth-tier Domain Lord, there’s a 1000-fold difference in energy level alone. Even with the greatest fortuitous encounters… a mere soul defense couldn’t withstand a 1000-fold impact. *“Rumble~~~”* An incredibly brutal force, condensed into a cone, struck with an absolute ferocity, like the Sun colliding with Earth! However, the core within Luo Feng’s body, which supported a super-powerful inner world with a diameter exceeding 60 million kilometers, was extraordinary. Even many pinnacle Golden Horned Beasts, who chose to evolve using Cosmic Crystals during their World Lord phase, would only have an inner world of 30 million kilometers in diameter at their pinnacle. A vast inner world meant an even stronger core. When Luo Feng first stepped into the World Lord level, his core was so strong that many pinnacle World Lord experts couldn’t break it even with their full power. And now, with an inner world of 60 million kilometers in diameter… this core was incredibly powerful! It already far surpassed many pinnacle Golden Horned Beasts who chose to evolve with Cosmic Crystals. This core… was innate to the Golden Horned Beast, incredibly miraculous. It could resist not only physical attacks but also soul attacks. Back when Luo Feng burned his soul, fighting desperately to kill the Golden Horned Beast, it was this core that obstructed him, making it impossible to break through. In the end, it was an attack formed by the burning soul imprint left by Huyan Bo that finally pierced the obstruction. Its miraculous nature was evident! “A pinnacle World Lord, trying to kill me with a mere ordinary attack, hmph.” Luo Feng didn’t want to expose the true power of his core. Instead, he swiftly brought forth the ‘Void Tower’ that resided within his core. The Void Tower emerged from the core, instantly enveloping and fully protecting his life core. This was the standard method for powerful individuals to protect their life cores, as their fragility was a common understanding. After all, how many could naturally possess an inner world, let alone one so absurdly vast? *“Boom~~~”* The five-layered Void Tower, whose psychic energy, at the Sixth-tier World Lord level of the Golden Horned Beast, rivaled the purity of an ordinary human Eighth or Ninth-tier World Lord, easily withstood the brutal and fierce mental attack with only a slight tremor. During his 180 years of secluded cultivation in the Beast God Canyon, Luo Feng’s comprehension of laws had advanced astonishingly, finally allowing him to condense the five-layered Pagoda Realm. Ke Sier’s expression subtly changed when he realized his mental attack had failed. “My soul attack failed? How can a Ninth-tier Domain Lord withstand my soul attack?” Instantly, 999 blade wheels appeared before him. These palm-sized blade wheels spun, transforming the surrounding space into an endless world of blades, with countless blade wheels swirling to shred Luo Feng. Blade wheels covered the sky and earth. However, only 999 of them were true psychic weapons; the others were formed by the transformation of World Energy. Numerous thoughts flashed through Luo Feng’s mind, and he quickly formulated a battle plan. A Ninth-tier World Lord assassin? Perfect for testing himself, provided, of course, that his safety was guaranteed. “If this is all you’ve got, then perish!” Luo Feng roared, his voice exploding directly in Ke Sier’s mind. Simultaneously, countless vines extended from Luo Feng’s shoulders, thickening and lengthening rapidly. In the blink of an eye… 216 colossal vines, each over ten thousand kilometers long, twisted and coiled like 216 world-shaking serpents. Each vine was larger than a fully grown Golden Horned Beast, and a single vine’s length surpassed Earth’s diameter. Once these 216 main vines launched their assault, along with their numerous branches and leaves, the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers instantly transformed into a verdant forest, even affecting distant debris and cargo. Ke Sier felt himself completely enveloped by the overwhelming green foliage! *“Boom!”* The endless blade wheels slammed into the surrounding main vines, tearing off fragments several kilometers in size from some of them. Yet, the vines rapidly regenerated. “Moyun Vine, at least a Sixth-tier World Lord Moyun Vine!!!” Ke Sier roared inwardly. “The intelligence stated that Luo Feng’s Moyun Vine was at most Sixth-tier World Lord, likely with 108 to 162 main vines. But there are 216! These 216 high-grade Moyun Vines are comparable to 216 human Eighth-tier World Lord experts.” “The Moyun Vine is strong, but that’s not all. Why is his soul defense so powerful?” “It seems I can’t hope to leave human territory alive.” Struggling to resist the terrifying, endless assault of the Moyun Vine’s branches and leaves, Ke Sier made an instant decision. But— Just as he was resisting, Luo Feng’s other killing move had already been activated. Amidst the endless foliage, a single vine leaf was wrapped around what appeared to be a simple, unadorned laser gun. This was precisely an E9-grade laser gun, and its brief 0.1-second charging time was completed simultaneously with Ke Sier’s struggle against the Moyun Vine. Red light off, green light on! “Moyun, fire! Kill him,” Luo Feng commanded. *Drip!* The vine leaf slightly indented, its surface, pressed against the button, directly activated it. A dazzling white beam of light, radiating to the extreme, instantly shot out from the muzzle of the E9-grade laser gun at light speed. With Luo Feng’s and Ke Sier’s strength, they could both perceive the trajectory of the laser fired by the E9-grade laser gun. However… Ke Sier, under the relentless assault of the endless vines, had no way to dodge. “An E9-grade laser gun!!!” Ke Sier’s expression changed drastically. “What is wrong with this intelligence? The discrepancy is enormous! His soul defense is ridiculously strong, and he even possesses such a luxurious E9-grade laser gun! If he bought it from the Virtual Universe Company, how could the Zerg infiltrators not have found detailed purchase records? A bunch of useless fools!” *Rumble~~~* The dazzling white beam instantly struck Ke Sier completely. The extreme super-high temperature and the terrifying impact formed by countless high-pressure light particles charred the surrounding vine leaves into ash…
