Encounter on Yan Ji Continent

Luo Feng continued to advance in the direction of the summons. After flying for over four months, he finally neared his target. 1 billion kilometers... 900 million kilometers... The distance steadily decreased. Moments later, it had shrunk to 300 million kilometers. “Enemy detector found. The enemy is in a cave deep within the icy mountain range,” Babata transmitted. “Their detector range is also 300 million kilometers, but their detector... is more primitive than ours.” “More primitive than ours?” Luo Feng smiled. This felt great. After repeatedly suffering disadvantages with detectors, the feeling of suppressing an opponent in detection was truly exhilarating, because the quality of the detector determined... that the battle would be entirely under his control. “Here’s the enemy’s footage,” Babata said. Luo Feng looked up. A projection screen appeared in the control room, displaying a video of the alien powerhouses conversing. There were three alien powerhouses in total. “Your Highness, it’s truly a pity. Although we roughed up that alien Undying, we still couldn’t finish him off. He just slipped away,” one servant Undying respectfully said. “Our strength can injure a peak Marquis, but killing them is very difficult, unless I’m willing to burn a portion of my Undying divine power,” the black-armored youth shook his head. “The difficulty of killing an Undying body is indeed very high. If we can’t kill a peak Marquis alien Undying, then the speed of accumulating military merits will be much slower.” ... The scene on the video made Luo Feng frown. “Able to injure a peak Marquis?” Luo Feng muttered to himself. “It’s unlikely he possesses a supreme treasure like the Shi Wu Wing. Since he can injure a peak Marquis, this black-armored youth must at least be a high-tier King... This is troublesome. And according to my precise sensing of the treasure’s coordinates, the treasure is on that black-armored youth.” The distance of over 200 million kilometers allowed Luo Feng’s sensing of the treasure to be extremely precise. He could now confirm— The treasure’s coordinates overlapped with the black-armored youth’s coordinates; it was clearly on the black-armored youth! “What should I do?” “To deal with a high-tier King, and to kill them, the difficulty is simply too great.” Luo Feng frowned. “Even if I expend all my strength, the probability of a successful kill is probably only ten percent.” Luo Feng had already formulated numerous plans to deal with the target, but no matter how many plans, they depended on the foundation of one’s strength. If the enemy’s strength was formidable, even the most detailed plans would be useless. This black-armored youth was estimated to be a high-tier King, so resolving this would be very troublesome. ... Over 200 million kilometers away, in the cave within the completely ice-bound deep mountains. The black-armored youth was conversing with his two servants. “Reflect on your cultivation well,” the black-armored youth instructed his servant Undyings. “Only by improving your strength can you kill a peak Marquis Undying.” “Yes, Your Highness.” On the surface, the three of them were conversing, but in reality... The three were secretly communicating telepathically. “The enemy’s large detector is more advanced than ours. Fortunately, although our micro-detector only has a range of 20 kilometers, it detected the enemy’s probe,” the black-armored youth transmitted solemnly. “It’s certain—an enemy using such a high-grade detector will be very strong.” “Your Highness, what should we do?” The two servants communicated telepathically. “Let’s converse openly first.” “Anyway, he hasn’t discovered my micro-detector. We’ll deliberately discuss... to trick him, intentionally implying that my strength is that of a high-tier King. With the strength of a high-tier King, there’s almost no threat on Yan Ji Continent. Even if one were to kill a high-tier King through soul destruction, those powerful beings would have to consider if it’s worth it. Once a high-tier King self-destructs, it’s terrifying.” “Understood, Your Highness.” After confirming in secret. On the surface, one of the servants then said, “Your Highness, it’s truly a pity. Although we roughed up that alien Undying, we still couldn’t finish him off. He just slipped away.” “Our strength can injure a peak Marquis, but killing them is very difficult, unless I’m willing to burn a portion of my Undying divine power,” the black-armored youth also said, shaking his head. “The difficulty of killing an Undying body...” Their deception... It truly fooled Luo Feng. In reality, this black-armored youth’s true strength was only that of a beginner-tier King. Beginner-tier King and high-tier King might not seem like a huge gap, but in fact, the combat power difference was astonishing. Many Undying beings fail to make progress throughout their infinite lifespan, and there would be significant disparities in aspects like ‘divine body’ and ‘law comprehension’. A beginner-tier King on Yan Ji Continent still needed to be cautious, but a high-tier King could almost walk unhindered, unless they provoked the most formidable few. The three alien powerhouses communicated telepathically. “The enemy hasn’t left yet.” “The detector is still locked onto us,” the black-armored youth transmitted. “Although our micro-detector can detect the opponent, it only has the ability to detect them. After all, it’s only a 20-kilometer detection range—by the time we truly discover the enemy, they’ll only be 20 kilometers away from us.” This was the drawback of the micro-detector! At most, it served as an early warning. To rely on a micro-detector to pinpoint the enemy’s location would be laughable. “We can’t confirm the enemy’s exact position. We don’t even know where to flee. Fleeing blindly, if the direction is slightly off, the enemy can catch up. The probability of escaping is less than one in a thousand,” the black-armored youth said. “The only way now is to deter the opponent, engage them in battle, and look for an opportunity to escape.” “Understood,” the two servants replied. “My plan is...” The black-armored youth quickly informed his two servants of his battle plan. ... Luo Feng was continuously closing in on his opponent, his detector constantly monitoring their movements. The projection screen in the control room displayed every action of the enemy in the distant cave. “Hmm?” Luo Feng suddenly frowned. “What is he doing?” On the screen, the black-armored youth flipped his hand, and a beautiful purple flower floated beside him. Immediately, the purple flower began to rapidly spread and extend, wildly permeating through the cave’s passages to the outside. At the same time, its thorny green leaves and countless petals also drilled into the rock layers. In almost an instant! The purple flower covered tens of thousands of kilometers around, heavily enveloping the black-armored youth and his two servants. “Alien powerhouse!” The black-armored youth on the screen said coldly, “I know you can hear me.” Luo Feng, in the distant control room, immediately frowned. “Damn, the worst-case scenario has occurred.” Luo Feng himself had a micro-detector... so he feared this exact situation. He couldn’t avoid it and could only rely on luck, hoping the opponent didn’t have a high-grade micro-detector. But now it seemed, the opponent’s micro-detector was clearly very high-grade. Although its range was extremely small, it could detect his probe. “I don’t wish to be enemies with a powerhouse like you,” the black-armored youth said solemnly. “You should also know that a battle between Kings can have severe consequences. I have already invited my King allies. Once battle begins, my King allies will rush over, and then... who lives and who dies will depend on strength!” *Snap!* The image on the screen instantly vanished. Clearly, the black-armored youth had used his micro-detector to shield the 20-kilometer range, preventing Luo Feng from seeing anything further. ... “Master, you invited King allies?” The two servants asked, surprised. “I was bluffing him,” the black-armored youth snorted. “Don’t you understand this? Hmph... That opponent’s strength is unfathomable; he might be a super powerhouse. Do you think, without accurate intelligence, and not knowing how powerful the enemy is, those King allies would come to help me fight? Even if I could persuade a super powerhouse, the cost would be exorbitant.” No one on the Outer Territory Battlefield was foolish. Battles between Kings were life-and-death struggles, and those who became Undying Kings all possessed numerous trump cards. Who would foolishly help others? A slight misstep could mean losing a life-saving trump card, leading to regret too late. For example, the Mechanical Race powerhouse invited two peak Kings. Firstly, they had a friendship. Secondly, the Mechanical Race powerhouse accurately described Silverwing King’s strength, combat characteristics, etc., giving the two peak Kings a clear understanding. Thirdly, it cost an enormous price, tens of billions of mixed units, which not everyone could afford. Of course, if it weren’t for inviting two peak Kings, the price wouldn’t have been so outrageous. “Prepare for battle.” “Hmph, I might not be able to defeat him, but I’m confident in my ability to survive.” The black-armored youth flipped his hand, and a saucer-shaped black spaceship appeared within the petals. “Enter the spaceship. If we suffer a long-range attack, with the Yan Flower exploding over tens of thousands of kilometers and the F9-grade spaceship obstructing, we won’t suffer too much loss at the very beginning.” ... Watching the image disappear from the projection screen, Luo Feng knew that he no longer understood his opponent’s strategy. “However...” “You tricked me once, but you think you can trick me a second time?” Luo Feng said coldly. “A high-tier King? If he were a high-tier King, he wouldn’t be acting like this. Inviting King allies? Those King allies don’t know my background; would they casually help you? Moreover, even if they could be persuaded, it would take time to convince them and cost an enormous fortune. It’s not that easy.” “Babata,” Luo Feng commanded. “Disable the large detector, keep the micro-detector active, and approach him, closing in within 10 million kilometers.” “Yes.” Although he wouldn’t use the large detector, he could still confirm the opponent’s position because he could sense the precise coordinates of the treasure. The spaceship continuously approached... The reason he had activated the large detector before was so Luo Feng could understand what kind of opponent he was facing, which race they belonged to. Now it seemed, they were an alien race from a remote frontier, the ‘Nashik Clan,’ a powerful race, not an affiliated race of any peak race. Nashik Clan powerhouses were very rare on the Outer Territory Battlefield. This also indicated one thing... It would be difficult for the opponent to find fellow clan members to help. “My Nashik Clan friend, I will welcome you with the most brilliant fireworks,” Luo Feng said softly.
