Chapter 704

Teleportation

Luo Feng felt the invisible pressure. The one speaking with him was a true super-being in the cosmos, 'Undying Knight', and he possessed a peculiar temperament. If he were to be enraged, the consequences would likely be endless. Compared to him, Luo Feng felt like a tiny ant; Undying Knight could probably use his connections to ensure Luo Feng's death was absolute. "Undying Knight." Luo Feng stood before the screen, bowing respectfully. "Great as you are, how could I dare refuse your desire for the Milky Way Galaxy? I am willing to gift all other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy to Undying Knight for free, as long as my home planet, 'Earth', is spared." Undying Knight on the screen paused slightly, rolling his eyes. A hint of helplessness flickered in his eerie green eyes as he touched a dark green vine near his ear. He then continued in his grating voice, "You're quite perceptive, but to be frank, the main reason I want to buy your Milky Way Galaxy is for that planet called 'Earth'. I don't care for any other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy; I only want Earth." Luo Feng, standing respectfully, felt his heart sink. He wants to buy Earth? "Why?" Luo Feng pressed, "This small Earth, just an ordinary life planet, why would you, Undying Knight, want to buy it?" "I naturally have my reasons." Impatience flashed in Undying Knight's eyes, and the countless vines around him twisted. He roared, "Are you selling or not?!" Luo Feng took a deep breath. First, he bowed respectfully, then stated solemnly, "Undying Knight, among the human race in the cosmos, there are billions of species, and we Earthlings are also one such species. Just as the Manka Star people's home is 'Manka Star', our Earthlings' home is this planet Earth. For our home, my compatriots would die one by one. Please forgive my disrespect, great Undying Knight... but I truly cannot sell my home planet to you!" After speaking, Luo Feng bowed respectfully again, silently awaiting Undying Knight's reply. Silence! On the other end of the screen, a fierce glint flickered in Undying Knight's eerie green eyes as he stared intently at Luo Feng. An invisible pressure began to intensify, passing directly through the screen and pressing down on Luo Feng. Luo Feng's body involuntarily creaked and groaned, and with a snap, his leg bones fractured, forcing him to his knees. Luo Feng remained silent, still awaiting a reply. "Waa waa waa~~~" "Gaa gaa gaa~~~" A grating, eerie laugh, tinged with anger, emanated from Undying Knight's throat. Among those who knew him, how many dared to defy him? Among the Cosmic Venerables in the Giant Axe Martial Arena faction, while many powerful individuals had strange temperaments, Undying Knight's was exceptionally peculiar. He was temperamental, quite arrogant, and his greatest pleasure was venturing into dangerous cosmic secret regions; the more perilous, the more he enjoyed them. Even great Cosmic Venerables would prepare for a long time, invite helpers, and proceed with extreme caution to explore such highly dangerous cosmic secret regions just once. But Undying Knight was different. Undying Knight treated danger as child's play, frequently venturing into perilous places and extremely terrifying cosmic secret regions. Even a powerful being like a 'Cosmic Venerable' would perish if they repeatedly challenged danger and skirted its edges as he did. Yet, he remained undying. His survival capabilities were so formidable that even powerful alien races like the Insectoids and Machine Race knew of him, well aware that among humanity existed a 'freak' who could be called 'undying'. Even in numerous desperate situations, he would find a way to survive. He didn't establish a Cosmic Nation! He didn't build his own faction to gather followers! He didn't contend for power or profit! He disdained it! Arrogant and proud as he was, he would even scold and curse some Cosmic Venerables, displaying his haughty and unrestrained nature. He loved life-and-death adventures... if provoked, he would dare to fight even the most formidable figures! That's why when Zhenyan King learned that the renowned Undying Knight wanted to meet Luo Feng, he was so alarmed that he immediately went to see Luo Feng, asking if he had offended Undying Knight in any way. "Truly audacious, daring to defy me." Undying Knight's voice grew even more grating, his gaze like two chilling sword-lights piercing directly into Luo Feng's soul. Before the screen. Luo Feng knelt there, respectfully saying, "Selling my home planet, selling the origin of my Earthling race, is something I truly cannot do. Please understand, Undying Knight." Undying Knight stared at Luo Feng. Luo Feng waited in silence. A stalemate... One second, two seconds, three seconds... ten seconds... The standoff lasted a full thirty seconds. "Ha, hahahahahaha..." Undying Knight's laughter changed again, sending shivers down one's spine. "Good lad, you truly have guts. Don't you know that if you anger me, I can easily kill you? Crushing a small genius like you is far too easy for me." "I know," Luo Feng replied respectfully. When dealing with Undying Knight, Luo Feng had already considered all possibilities. First and foremost, unless pushed to an absolute dead end, Luo Feng absolutely did not want to sell Earth! Once Earth became Undying Knight's territory. Whatever Undying Knight did on Earth, Luo Feng would have no right to interfere. Earth was the home of all Earthlings... forcing them to leave their homes, making it impossible for Earthlings to return, Luo Feng refused to be such a sinner. Secondly! Luo Feng also clearly understood that no matter what, he was an unparalleled genius under the 'Virtual Universe Company'. And while Undying Knight held an extremely high status and possessed immense power, he was still a member of the Giant Axe Martial Arena faction. If Undying Knight were to kill him, it would be a blatant disregard for the Virtual Universe Company's prestige, which would certainly lead to trouble. The probability of Undying Knight killing him was small. Of course— Given 'Undying Knight's' peculiar temperament, Luo Feng couldn't be certain what the other party would do. It was also possible he might act to kill him, which would be incredibly easy for Undying Knight. "If I don't sell my home planet to him, he'll kill me. Then I... will immediately have Dilun carry me and teleport to Earth via God Kingdom teleportation." Luo Feng thought to himself. Earth was his home, and to be able to return instantly in a critical moment, Luo Feng had Dilun place an item on Earth as a beacon. "Once back on Earth, I will immediately absorb Earth into my 'inner world'," Luo Feng mused. Indeed, there were planets that had been absorbed into other worlds. Luo Feng's inner world was large enough to accommodate it. For instance, the planet Manka Star had been absorbed into a God Kingdom. "Anyway, even a few hundred years ago, before Earth integrated into the cosmic family, it still lived happily. In my inner world... Earth would actually be even safer." "At the same time!" "My Earthling true body will immediately go to the 'Original Secret Region', a vital place of the Virtual Universe Company, while my Demon Killer Clan clone, carrying its core, will transform into an ordinary person and hide on a remote life planet in some distant Cosmic Nation. With the Demon Killer Clan's ability to change and simulate aura, no one would be able to discover it on such a remote planet where the strongest individuals are merely Star-level." "By then, if Undying Knight wants to kill me, he'll have to do it in the Original Secret Region. I'd like to see if he dares. If he truly dares to storm the Original Secret Region and succeeds, then the big shots of the Virtual Universe Company might as well just die; that's the Original Secret Region! If Undying Knight can kill me there, I can completely give up on the Virtual Universe Company." Luo Feng thought to himself, "Even if he kills my Earthling true body, my true strength will remain completely unharmed." This was Luo Feng's plan. At worst. He would go all out! Assuming that situation occurred, since the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't protect him, he wouldn't need to serve them either. At most, he would lie low on some remote planet, or even wander and cultivate in other mysterious places of the cosmos. If he didn't have such means of evasion, for the safety of Earth's humanity, Luo Feng might have yielded. But since he possessed such methods, how could Luo Feng possibly yield? ... Regardless of what would happen next, at this moment, Luo Feng maintained his respectful posture, awaiting Undying Knight's words. "You know, and you still dare to defy me? You have guts, great guts." Undying Knight chuckled with triumphant glee. "I like people with courage, unlike those Cosmic Venerables who are so timid they fear even entering slightly dangerous cosmic secret regions. Haha, not bad, not bad. I find you pleasing to the eye now, so I'll spare your life. Just give me any island on Earth, and this matter will be settled, no problem, right?" Luo Feng felt a wave of relief and quickly said, "No problem, I will certainly prepare an island for you, Undying Knight." "Hmm." Undying Knight nodded leisurely, his eerie green eyes scrutinizing Luo Feng, emitting a chilling, strange laugh. "You little fellow, in front of me, I haven't seen you flinch once from beginning to end. You're persistent enough! Stubborn enough! Interesting, very interesting..." Amidst that peculiar voice, the figure on the screen directly vanished. The oppressive aura in Luo Feng's study also completely disappeared. "Phew." Luo Feng let out a long breath and plopped down onto a chair. "Heavens, this Undying Knight is truly temperamental and has a peculiar disposition," Luo Feng muttered, his forehead beaded with sweat. "I was almost forced to wander the ends of the cosmos." If Undying Knight had truly insisted on taking Earth, Luo Feng would indeed have had no choice but to carry Earth within his inner world and wander the cosmos. ... On the same day that Undying Knight and Luo Feng conversed through the Virtual Universe Network, far away in the Milky Way Galaxy, on Earth. Earth, Amazon rainforest. The forest was hot and humid, with thick trees everywhere, and occasionally, some monsters could still be seen. Nowadays, places where monsters could be found on Earth were rare; monsters had become 'protected animals', objects of observation. As for the vast Amazon, Earth's humanity clearly didn't want to destroy its ecosystem, so it remained untouched by human presence. "Buzz~~~" A hazy red light enveloped the surroundings, causing the space to ripple slightly. Immediately, over a dozen powerful beings, some clad in magnificent robes, others in combat armor, appeared together. They varied in appearance, but their auras were equally heart-stopping. One of them was... the eerily beautiful Yanzhu King. "Last time, I had someone place an Undying Crystal on Earth. I didn't expect to use it so soon, instantly teleporting here via God Kingdom teleportation. Among the many Cosmic Venerables, my father's subordinates are probably the first to arrive on Earth," Yanzhu King said with a triumphant smile. "This time, I've earned merit for my father." The other King-level Undying Gods beside him also nodded with smiles.
