The Alien 'Lei Quan Tribe'

The seven veteran Realm Lords were highly vigilant upon arriving at the Asteroid Belt, but they had also grown accustomed to it, having spent too long in such an environment. When Luo Feng first arrived, he was overly cautious. However, with his exceptional skill fostering courage, combined with his broad perspective and mental fortitude, he quickly adapted to an environment where threats were constant, and battles could erupt at any moment. Only Yan Shi, as a newcomer, whose strength was far from Luo Feng's monstrous level—merely an exceptionally talented Realm Lord—struggled. Being thrust into a dangerous place like the Asteroid Belt as a rookie, the constant thought of life-or-death battles made it impossible for him to calm down. Coupled with the dense malevolent energy throughout the Asteroid Belt, he became increasingly agitated. “Yan Shi, send a wisp of your consciousness into the Virtual Universe Network, play some virtual games, and relax,” Taiwo said with a smile, seeing his state. “Yes, Captain,” Yan Shi replied, feeling a bit ashamed. “Don't be embarrassed. Every one of us here, when we first entered the Outer Territory Battlefield, felt that constant threat of battle... it was enough to drive anyone mad. Our human territories don't have places this terrifying. Almost all newcomers experience this; it's what we call 'newbie syndrome',” Taiwo said with a slight smile. Yan Shi nodded, connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network, and went to relax. “Captain,” Mei Nu chuckled softly, “How come Madman doesn't have newbie syndrome? He seems so calm.” “Is Madman an ordinary person?” Du Yao retorted, curled up on the sofa with a bottle of wine. Among the entire squad, Du Yao was the biggest drinker. As for concocting potions... he usually conducted his experiments in the Virtual Universe, because anything achievable there, given sufficient materials, could also be realized in reality. ... The squad members chatted casually, some rested with their eyes closed, and soon the next day arrived. “Gather!” the Immortal God Taiwo commanded. Du Yao, Kuang Wu, Shen Ling, Madman... every one of them quickly stood up. “This is our first operation since arriving at the Asteroid Belt, and it must be successful,” Taiwo said, his gaze sweeping over the nine individuals. “Veterans should know the rules. Newcomers... if you encounter special circumstances, don't panic; stay calm and observe how the veterans handle it.” “Understood.” Luo Feng and Yan Shi nodded. “Alright, let's move out,” Taiwo ordered with a smile. “Finally, time to accumulate military merits.” “Haha, I've already exchanged so many military merits, I'm broke!” The veteran squad members laughed. These veterans, having undergone countless trials to become 'Realm Lord Warriors,' had long since fulfilled their military merit quotas, thus gaining their freedom and the ability to exchange military merits for various treasures they desired. Generally, 100,000 military merits were equivalent to 1 Primal Chaos Unit. Luo Feng and his group swiftly darted out of their base, and Captain Taiwo naturally retracted the lounge cabin. “A C9-class spaceship?” Luo Feng and Yan Shi stood on the planetary fragment, staring in astonishment at the spaceship hovering before them. “Yes, we'll be departing in a C9-class spaceship,” Taiwo nodded. “The weakness of this C9-class spaceship is its slow acceleration, slow deceleration, and sluggish evasive maneuvers... but once it gets up to speed, its flight velocity is quite fast. Reaching sub-light speed and flying through the Asteroid Belt is effortless.” “Most importantly... there are too many alien powerhouses in the Asteroid Belt, and we could be ambushed at any moment. If attacked, the spaceship would be destroyed... We'll be staying here for a long time, and I can't bear to use expensive ships if they're constantly getting destroyed. Tsk, tsk, these C9-class spaceships are incredibly cheap; I wouldn't feel a pang even if a hundred thousand or a million of them were destroyed,” Taiwo said with a faint smile. Luo Feng was speechless. A C9-class, indeed, was extremely cheap. Even a million of them wouldn't amount to 1 Primal Chaos Unit. For an Immortal God... they were truly dirt cheap. After all, even families with a bit of influence had countless descendants flying C-class spaceships. These were definitely mass-produced; a single ancient family might possess tens of millions of C9-class spaceships. Yet, the total assets of an average ancient family couldn't compare to that of an 'Immortal God'. ... Luo Feng and his team traveled in this low-grade C9-class spaceship, flying at sub-light speed through the Asteroid Belt, constantly maneuvering to avoid asteroids and maintain a safe distance. “The detection device I carry is worth 120 Primal Chaos Units, more expensive than ten million C9-class spaceships,” Taiwo said, sitting in the cabin with a smile. “A detection device can sense life fluctuations within a 100-million-kilometer radius. While we can pinpoint the coordinates of nearby comrades and allies, we can't do the same for alien enemies. So, we rely solely on detection devices. For these... you absolutely cannot be stingy with money; a good detection device is crucial.” Luo Feng smiled. Detection devices were indeed important, which was why Luo Feng had acquired one before coming to the Outer Territory Battlefield. Even with his privileges and discounts, it still cost him 3.9 million points. Of course, for Luo Feng, who once possessed 3 billion points, this was nothing. This device would be useful not only in the Outer Territory Battlefield but also in future cosmic secret realms. Even after the discount, it was 3.9 million points. If it were to be auctioned in some auction houses, it would fetch at least ten million Primal Chaos Units. An average Marquis-level Immortal God's net worth was typically around that much. Such expensive detection devices... were usually only standard equipment for King-level Immortal Gods. “When we detect alien enemies, if their detection equipment is also powerful, they'll discover our probes,” Taiwo explained. “Of course, many alien races are technologically weaker; they only realize we're there when we're practically at their doorstep.” The spaceship continued its journey. On the first day, they were almost entirely within the sphere of influence of the main human race and allied races. On the second day, they started in a sparsely populated area of powerhouses, but gradually began to detect numerous alien powerhouses. ... Later on the second day, inside the spaceship. “Quick, change course, away from the target!” Taiwo immediately ordered. The spaceship slightly altered its direction, maintaining sub-light speed. “What's wrong, Captain?” “Scared you that much?” Mei Nu and Kuang Wu teased. Taiwo, however, let out a long sigh. “We detected six Immortal God fluctuations.” “What?” Everyone else jumped in shock, except for Luo Feng, who was only slightly surprised. “Six Immortal Gods gathered together?” The illusionist Wei, holding a white cat, widened his eyes even further. “Yes.” “Don't worry, we've been maintaining ultra-high-speed flight, almost reaching the limit in the Asteroid Belt. And we're moving completely away from their direction; even if they pursue... they won't catch us,” Taiwo said with a smile. “I estimate those six alien Immortal Gods also detected us, so they didn't bother to chase.” “Six Immortal Gods forming a squad?” Luo Feng wondered. “Yes, if they can form a squad, their captain likely possesses Marquis-level strength,” Taiwo nodded. “Such a formidable team is definitely an ace squad. We can only be considered an elite squad. If we were to clash... a single Marquis-level Immortal could wipe us all out.” Flying through the starry expanse of the Asteroid Belt, they proceeded with extreme caution. After several dangerous encounters. “Target detected.” “Distance: 92.84 million kilometers. There are five targets, all likely Realm Lords,” Taiwo stated. “Five Realm Lords? No challenge,” Shen Ling, clad in white combat armor, smiled. “Everyone be careful. Those who can come to the Asteroid Belt are not easy to deal with. Even if all five are Realm Lords, they probably have some tricks up their sleeves,” Du Yao warned. “Understood.” “Don't worry, Xiao Chenchen.” Immediately, the spaceship began to decelerate and turn, heading towards the target. “The distance is closing: 90 million kilometers... 80 million kilometers... 70 million kilometers... Those five Realm Lords have remained stationary within an asteroid. I estimate their detection equipment is rather ordinary, so they haven't detected our probes yet... and their own probes have likely been shielded by my detection device,” Taiwo explained. Detection devices were certainly present in the Outer Territory Battlefield. My device detects yours, but yours cannot detect mine—that's the essence of technological superiority. For instance, when they were previously ambushed by members of the Machine Race, their detection devices didn't register anything, and they fell victim. Clearly, the enemy's methods were superior then. This time, however... it seemed humanity's methods were more advanced. ... A moment later, the distance closed to 3 million kilometers. “Spaceship decelerate, halt temporarily.” “We've accurately detected the targets' appearance, these five alien Realm Lords, everyone take a look.” Taiwo's armguard screen projected a hazy light, forming a holographic display in mid-air. The display showed images, along with detailed information such as height, skin color, and more. They were five alien powerhouses, ranging from 21 to 25 meters in height, making them absolute top-tier super giants among human races. All of them wore thick combat armor. Their upper bodies resembled human forms. Their lower bodies were reptilian, with six thick, hoofed claws and a scaly tail. Their entire bodies, including their upper halves, were covered in greenish-blue scales. “Lightning aliens,” Taiwo said in a low voice. “They're an alien race skilled in lightning, belonging to the Insectoid faction,” Du Yao also nodded. “No wonder they dare to come here; these lightning aliens are quite troublesome to deal with.” The veteran squad members began to discuss amongst themselves. Luo Feng carefully examined the holographic image and immediately understood what alien race they were. In truth, Taiwo, Du Yao, and the others didn't know precise information about many alien races; they had merely accumulated extensive experience through countless battles and exchanges with fellow warriors, gaining a general understanding of various alien abilities. Luo Feng, however, knew very clearly. Lei Quan Tribe: Legend has it that the Lei Quan Tribe possesses a sacred land called the 'Thunder Spring'. Every Lei Quan Tribe infant is placed into the Thunder Spring immediately after birth. Only when these infants can, by their own power, climb along the vines on the Thunder Spring to its peak and emerge, is their gestation considered complete. Therefore, every member of the Lei Quan Tribe... is naturally a favored child of the lightning laws, inherently capable of controlling lightning, exceptionally skilled in comprehending lightning laws, and their techniques wield immense power. Much like the Demon Killer Clan are favored children of space, and Golden Horn Behemoths are favored children of the law of metal. Of course, although members of the Lei Quan Tribe possess some innate talent, their abilities are primarily due to the 'Thunder Spring' modifications. Therefore, in terms of various insights and the amplitude of law application, they cannot compare to the heaven-defying Demon Killer Clan. Even so... compared to humans, their advantage is already immense. However, the Lei Quan Tribe also has one drawback—their numbers are far less than one-millionth of humanity's. “Everyone disembark from the spaceship.” “Then stealthily approach.” “Launch a surprise attack,” Captain Taiwo ordered. “Understood.” The group quietly exited the spaceship, and Taiwo retracted it. Then, the team swiftly broke through the air, silently flying towards the asteroid where the five Lei Quan Tribe members were hidden...
