Star Tower

Across the vast sky, a silver streak of light flashed and vanished. The Golden Horned Beast was flying at its maximum speed, nearly approaching the speed of light. “It’s a pity the nine pyramids were in nine different directions, all very far apart. I managed to capture the damaged pyramid spaceship, but the other eight accelerated to their limits, making them impossible to pursue.” Luo Feng felt a pang of regret. The Mechanical Race powerhouse he had fought clearly possessed a wealth of valuable treasures. Each of those nine pyramid spaceships was astonishingly valuable. He had earned 3 billion points by challenging the Domain Lord-level Original Sky-Reaching Mountain; he estimated the value of a single pyramid spaceship wouldn't be far off from that. “Such opportunities are rare and hard to come by,” Luo Feng lamented. In truth, if the combined attack of the Sector Lord Insectoid King Legion hadn't torn apart that pyramid spaceship, even if the Golden Horned Beast had caught up to it, it wouldn't have been able to do anything to it. While flying, Luo Feng also reflected on the recent battle. From start to finish, he hadn't made any mistakes in this battle, but he had certainly been put in a tough spot. First, his detector was inferior to his opponent's, giving the enemy the initiative. Faced with the encirclement of 9 million F9-grade elite mechanical puppets, he had no choice but to deploy the Golden Horned Beast. And the Golden Horned Beast was indeed formidable, freely acquiring hundreds of thousands of mechanical puppet spoils, forcing the opponent to use their ultimate move, the ‘Nine Absolutes Divine Kingdom’. As soon as the Nine Absolutes Divine Kingdom was unleashed, especially with the countless purple threads entwining it, the Golden Horned Beast lost its greatest advantage, ‘speed’, and could only endure the attacks of the 81 Divine Kings. Fortunately, the dual defense of the ‘Shi Wu Wings’ and ‘General Armor’ had proven incredibly resilient... Finally, when the opponent's 81 Divine Kings were almost out of energy, he instantly deployed the million-strong Sector Lord Legion. “That was quite wise.” “Fortunately, I held back, only using the million-strong Sector Lord King Legion at the very end! If I had used them from the start, whether fighting against 9 million F9-grade mechanical puppets or the 81 Divine Kings, it would have been a disadvantage. The combined power of the Sector Lord King Legion is immense, but their individual defense is too weak...” “In summary,” “The main reason I was always at a disadvantage was—the detector!” “Without a detector, I had no idea of my opponent's every move, completely led by the nose, which made me so passive. If I had a more advanced detector than theirs... I could have discovered them early, even before they launched a sneak attack, and perhaps even prevented them from discovering me.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly, “The tragic thing is... I still don't know where their true body is!” Luo Feng and Ci Weika, in fact, each had their own trump cards! Ci Weika's true body was weak in strength, relying solely on various instruments and methods. Luo Feng's combat power was stronger. The disadvantage was that the battle was controlled by the opponent. Assuming Luo Feng had a better detector... he could have quietly approached, even having the million-strong Sector Lord Legion directly bombard the opponent's spaceship, instantly killing the Mechanical Race powerhouse! That way, Luo Feng would have made a huge profit, and effortlessly at that. “A detector!” “It's all about the detector.” Luo Feng increasingly felt the importance of a detector; the frustration of this battle stemmed from being constantly passive. The Golden Horned Beast, flying at high speed, instinctively looked back, sensing faintly that the Mechanical Race powerhouse was still monitoring it. “That Mechanical Race powerhouse hasn't given up yet.” “It's highly likely they're still following me from a distance. And rightly so, that Mechanical Race powerhouse suffered such heavy losses, especially with a crucial component of their Nine Absolutes Divine Kingdom falling into my hands. How could they willingly let me go? They're definitely tracking me from afar, trying to find a way to reclaim it from me.” “What should I do?” Luo Feng pondered anxiously, increasingly regretting his inferior detector. “Just let him keep following?” “He clearly has connections and capabilities; he'll definitely try to reclaim that damaged pyramid spaceship from me. Letting him follow me is like having a ticking time bomb by my side, ready to explode at any moment. I can't worry about the cost anymore... I'll have to sacrifice some wealth.” Luo Feng made his decision. Luo Feng's guess was correct. 300 million kilometers away from Luo Feng, a pyramid spaceship was in pursuit. Inside the control room, a grim-faced Ci Weika sat on a metal chair, glaring at the silver monster projected before him, gritting his teeth: “Silverwing King, not one of my nine foundational spaceships can be missing; without even one, I cannot deploy the Nine Absolutes Divine Kingdom. You want to take it? You must be dreaming!” “Originally, I didn't want to pay a huge price to kill you.” “Killing a King-level Undying is too costly. But you stole a foundational spaceship of the Nine Absolutes Divine Kingdom that my master made for me; you are forcing my hand.” Ci Weika's eyes were filled with madness. “Then die.” “Just wait to die.” A sliver of Ci Weika's consciousness had already entered the ‘Virtual Universe’, a virtual world established by the Mechanical Race in the Outer Territory Battlefield. Virtual Universe. “Beep—beep—beep—” Ci Weika stood before a screen, simultaneously connecting. After a moment, a figure appeared on the screen—a strange, obese lifeform, about two meters tall and one meter wide. Its body was covered in scales, and among the countless scales, some bore individual eyes. The dense array of eyes was unsettling. On its head was an even larger golden eye, and an invisible, unsettling aura seemed to transmit through the screen. If Luo Feng had seen it, he would have recognized it immediately... This was a lifeform from the ‘Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan’, a very powerful race in the universe. The Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan had a very small population, but their individual strength was exceptionally formidable. This made the entire Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan considered a powerful race in the universe; they didn't need to be subservient to peak races. However, some powerhouses of the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan... still joined one of the four major factions to gain qualifications to enter the Outer Territory Battlefield and temper themselves. Combat was the best way to temper powerhouses. True super powerhouses would not fear combat; they would only constantly push themselves, tempering and strengthening themselves. “Mo Mobu!” Ci Weika appeared very polite. “Oh, it's my dear Ci Weika.” The Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan lifeform grinned, all its countless eyes seemingly smiling, sending shivers down one's spine. “You should know, I'm currently in the Star Tower, a highly dangerous place, and I dislike distractions. Knowing this, you still sought me out... Speak, what is it?” “It's like this.” Ci Weika gritted his teeth and quickly explained, slightly altering the details of the battle, but the essence of the matter remained unchanged: “What I need to do is... kill this Silverwing King and reclaim my weapon component.” “Oh? The Human Faction's Silverwing King?” Mo Mobu of the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan said, puzzled. “He actually took your important weapon component, but Ci Weika... that's a King-level Undying after all. You should know how difficult it is to kill a King-level Undying. Wounding them is possible, but to kill them...” “I've already planned it out,” Ci Weika quickly said. “This Silverwing King has extremely strong physical defense, and its flight speed is incredibly fast and bizarre. However, its attack power doesn't match its terrifying defense! Clearly, its comprehension of laws isn't very high; it's just skilled in defense, likely possessing some treasures.” “Moreover, its combat style has always relied on close-quarters fighting.” “Therefore, its soul aspect is likely relatively weak. And Mo Mobu... you are a super powerhouse skilled in soul attacks. As long as you make a move, we'll have a ninety percent chance of success,” Ci Weika continued. The Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan super powerhouse on the screen didn't immediately agree. Seeing this, Ci Weika quickly added: “I wouldn't ask Mo Mobu to waste his time, especially since you are currently in the Star Tower. I am willing... to offer 3 billion Yu Lan units for your assistance, Mo Mobu. Furthermore, once the Silverwing King is killed, the military merits will naturally be credited to you, and you will also receive a significant portion of the spoils after the Silverwing King's demise.” “Oh?” All of Mo Mobu's countless eyes lit up. 3 billion Yu Lan units... That was generous enough. After all, King-level Undying Gods spent billions of years accumulating their wealth, and such a high price for a single invitation was quite rare. “This Ci Weika is truly wealthy. His master dotes on him so much; he's only a Marquis-level pinnacle, yet his wealth surpasses many King-level Undyings.” Mo Mobu couldn't help but sigh. Just as Yanzhu King was extremely famous as the sole son of Blazing Fire Venerable, Ci Weika also held considerable renown among the Mechanical Race. It should be noted that the Mechanical Race are intelligent lifeforms, without the concept of parents or children. Therefore, Ci Weika was considered the most cherished ‘relative’ by that super powerhouse. “I'm in the Star Tower, how would I get there?” Mo Mobu asked. “By spaceship? That would take half a year.” “No.” Ci Weika quickly shook his head, considering how long it would take to fly slowly by spaceship. “Mo Mobu, you can use God Kingdom Teleportation. I will give you the secure coordinates, and you can directly teleport to the Yan Ji Continent.” “God Kingdom Teleportation, that would expose my God Kingdom's coordinates.” “With your capabilities, Mo Mobu, who would you fear on the Yan Ji Continent? Moreover, only I would know your God Kingdom's coordinates, and as members of the same faction, betraying a comrade is impossible. Mo Mobu, you'll have ample time afterward to relocate your God Kingdom and change its coordinates,” Ci Weika persuaded. Mo Mobu eventually agreed. After all, if this transaction was fully successful, his gains would be enormous. Just a moment later. In the Virtual Universe, at Ci Weika's residence. “Allow me to introduce, this is also from my Mechanical Race faction, Jiujian King of the Mangwan Clan.” Ci Weika pointed to a lean, short man sitting nearby, wearing a silver mask. The man's hands resembled beastly claws, like sharp daggers. “Jiujian King is a King-level pinnacle powerhouse with teleportation abilities.” “Jiujian King, this is from the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan, also known as the ‘Death Spirit King’, who is extremely famous in the seventh battlefield of the Outer Territory Battlefield.” Ci Weika pointed to Mo Mobu of the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan. Jiujian King, Death Spirit King. Both were King-level pinnacle existences. Of course, in terms of fame, Death Spirit King was far more renowned, as several King-level Undyings had fallen by his hand. “Death Spirit King.” The short Jiujian King looked at Mo Mobu. “Weren't you in the Star Tower?” Mo Mobu smiled, all the eyes on his body filled with amusement: “I just rushed over.”
