Fallen

“The hatch is opening.” The black-armored youth immediately opened the hatch and flew out.

He knew that staying inside the cabin would be like being a turtle in a jar. If his opponent used various methods to trap him, he wouldn't be able to escape quickly, losing the initiative.

“The Silverwing King failed last time, and now he’s come to hunt me down again. For such a pinnacle King-tier expert, he wouldn’t waste time without absolute confidence. This means… he must be confident he can deal with me.” The black-armored youth flew out of the cabin, quickly stowed it away, and immediately fled.

This was a space interlayer, filled with countless flying space fragments. It was like being hit by massive meteorites, creating immense resistance.

Perhaps an Immortal God could continuously accelerate, but accelerating would clearly take much longer.

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

The Silverwing King, however, moved like a fish in water. The Shi Wu Wings were a supreme treasure for manipulating space, completely unaffected by the turbulent space fragments. Leaving behind several ghostly traces, he swiftly caught up to the black-armored youth, who was still struggling to accelerate.

“Freeze!”

Just as the black-armored youth was about to unleash his technique, the Silverwing King had already dodged.

“Damn it,” the black-armored youth gritted his teeth.

“Hmph, I know you can ‘Time Stop,’ so why would I stop and give you a chance?” The Golden Horned Beast moved like a phantom, constantly shifting and changing positions, circling and attacking the black-armored youth.

The ‘Time Stop’ technique is applied to a specific spatial area.

It’s like shooting a rifle on Earth.

Shooting a stationary target is easy, but if the target moves, especially very fast and with frequent changes in speed and direction, it’s extremely difficult to hit! It’s the same principle… The Golden Horned Beast’s body is too large, and activating the technique requires controlling a larger area. The Golden Horned Beast’s changes in speed and direction made the black-armored youth’s head ache.

“Bind!” The black-armored youth pointed at the Golden Horned Beast from a distance.

Whoosh!

A black segmented whip, dozens of kilometers long, danced through the turbulent space, directly coiling around the attacking Golden Horned Beast. One of the Golden Horned Beast’s wings was immediately entangled by the black segmented whip, instantly affecting its speed and acceleration. This greatly pleased the black-armored youth: “It worked!”

“Boom!”

Although the Golden Horned Beast’s left wing was entangled by the black segmented whip, it still forcefully accelerated towards the black-armored youth.

“Bind him tightly,” the black-armored youth gritted his teeth.

The slender black segmented whip glowed with a faint dark light, tightening continuously. However, even though the Golden Horned Beast’s left wing was entangled, it was completely unharmed. This was the ‘Shi Wu Wings,’ a true supreme treasure. Even a great pinnacle existence like a Cosmic Master would find it incredibly difficult to damage such a treasure. The black segmented whip could at most slightly affect it. How could it completely bind the left wing and render it powerless?

Boom!

The Golden Horned Beast had already closed in on the black-armored youth.

“Freeze!” The black-armored youth unleashed the technique again.

“Freeze my ass, explode!!!” The Golden Horned Beast charged forward, Luo Feng’s consciousness roaring.

Instantly…

A heart-palpitating, fiery red, pyramid-shaped crystal floated between the Golden Horned Beast and the black-armored youth, both very close.

“Fire God Origin Crystal!” The black-armored youth showed a look of shock and fury. Especially sensing the energy fluctuations of this Fire God Origin Crystal, he was utterly terrified. “It’s over, I’m dead.”

“A Fire God Origin Crystal comparable to a self-detonation of a high-tier King-tier, this, this… is this Silverwing King insane? This is a high-tier King-tier self-detonation. Even if the Silverwing King is a pinnacle King-tier expert, he would probably lose a portion of his Immortal God body when facing the close-range explosion of a Fire God Origin Crystal comparable to a high-tier King-tier self-detonation! If that’s the case, he might as well burn a portion of his Immortal body to kill me… Why go through all this trouble and waste an expensive high-tier King-tier Fire God Origin Crystal?” In the face of death, countless thoughts flashed through the black-armored youth’s mind.

“Teacher, Teacher, save me!”

The black-armored youth immediately crushed the token inside his world ring.

“If you want me to die, I’ll drag you down with me!”

At this moment, the black-armored youth—

Through his communication device, began frantically mass-messaging countless experts of the same faction on the Yan Ji Continent, the ‘Monster Race Faction’: “I am about to fall, the killer is the Silverwing King, coordinates are…” This message was almost instantly sent to countless experts of the Monster Race Faction.

If the black-armored youth had mentioned a bounty or asked others to notify Mechanical Race experts, the message would have been directly intercepted by the intelligent system. Because contacting other factions… that is a grave crime of betraying one’s faction!

In the four great factions, betraying one’s faction… is like a clan member betraying their own clan.

An absolute death sentence!

Even having a Cosmic Venerable as a teacher wouldn’t save them. Of course, if a pinnacle existence like a ‘Cosmic Master’ intervened, they could still be saved. But one must know… many affiliated clans, like the Golden Horn Clan, simply do not have such incredible overlord existences as Cosmic Masters.

…

“Disciple!” In a very remote area of the cosmic domain, the territory where the Nashik Clan lived.

“It’s on the Outer Battlefield… No!!!”

A rugged man, also wearing black armor but larger in stature, couldn’t help but let out a low roar, “Disciple, you, you must live.” Although he had given his disciple a token, and he could teleport through his God Kingdom to get there, that was the Outer Battlefield, the Outer Battlefield of the four great factions, where Cosmic Venerables were absolutely forbidden to enter!

Unless it was a major decisive battle.

Otherwise—

Only existences below ‘Cosmic Venerable’ appeared on the Outer Battlefield. Of course, some super existences like the Chaos City Lord could occasionally break the rules, because their status was so high that affiliated clans dared not speak out. But human Cosmic Venerables and alien Cosmic Venerables were equally unqualified to enter the Outer Battlefield.

…

Boom!

Though it seemed long in description, the detonation of the Fire God Origin Crystal was only an instant. The black-armored youth had only accelerated less than a thousand kilometers. Before the power of a high-tier King-tier self-detonation, within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, it was the most powerful explosion.

Rumble rumble rumble~~~~~~

The turbulent space fragments instantly turned into particles that could not be broken down further in the face of the super-strong energy explosion. The black-armored youth and the Golden Horned Beast both did the same thing at this moment—resisted the explosion!

“Whoosh!” The Golden Horned Beast folded its wings, completely enveloping itself.

“No!” The black-armored youth, however, immediately took out the G-grade metal cabin and placed it in front of him. At the same time, he controlled Yan Hua. The auxiliary plant life Yan Hua also knew that if its master died, it would surely die too, so it desperately bloomed with its last light.

Explode!

Explode!

Explode!

The surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers instantly turned into a particle stream. Although the G-grade metal cabin blocked in front, the explosion spread completely, at most weakening the power by half. Almost instantly, the black-armored youth, including the Yan Hua protecting him, was directly blasted into nothingness, completely annihilated, leaving only the G-grade metal cabin, weapons, G-grade metal cast world rings, etc., floating in the endless particle stream…

The Golden Horned Beast also folded its wings to protect itself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Facing the terrifying impact, after passing through the Shi Wu Wings and General Armor, two layers of defense, it was weakened to one-thousandth. Even this one-thousandth… was comparable to a normal high-tier King-tier expert’s strike! It instantly shattered the Moyun Battle Armor on the Golden Horned Beast’s scales. Fortunately, the Moyun Vine was a high-tier Marquis-tier… and was skilled in physical defense, comparable to a low-tier King-tier human Immortal body.

Although it was shattered, due to its undying body, it suffered little loss.

“Hmm.” The Golden Horned Beast felt its body shake, a dull sensation.

Of course—

It was only a dull sensation, nothing more.

“Haha, a high-tier King-tier self-detonation, capable of harming even pinnacle King-tier experts. With my Shi Wu Wings and General Armor, these two great treasures protecting me, combined with the Moyun Vine’s undying body… even facing a pinnacle King-tier’s self-detonation, I probably wouldn’t die.” Luo Feng was in an excellent mood amidst the aftershocks of the explosion.

The aftershocks of the explosion rapidly weakened.

The Golden Horned Beast’s dark golden eyes looked into the distance. The G-grade metal cabin, black segmented whip, two world rings, battle armor remnants, and other items were floating. In fact, the materials for world rings owned by experts like Luo Feng were cast from G-grade metal. Fortunately, it was just a ring, using very little metal, so it was also very cheap, and powerful Immortals could afford it.

How vast was the impact when powerful Immortals fought each other?

If world rings were made of ordinary F9-grade metal, they would easily be damaged in battle.

…

Inside one of the world rings.

The Marquis-tier Immortals and ordinary Immortals, these Immortal slaves of the black-armored youth, who had been full of tension, all showed expressions of terror and unwillingness the moment their master fell.

“No!”

“No!”

These Immortal slaves only had time to cry out in grief and indignation.

Then, thud! thud! thud! They fell one by one, lifeless. Although their bodies still existed, their souls had completely disintegrated.

Just like when Huyan Bo died, his slaves also died one by one.

Master dies!

Slaves die! No matter how boundless the slave’s power, this cannot be changed.

…

In the turbulent space fragments, only slight aftershocks of the explosion remained.

The Golden Horned Beast, with the triple protection of Shi Wu Wings, General Armor, and Moyun Battle Armor, was unharmed. The Shi Wu Wings and General Armor were both incredibly tough and could weaken attack power by over ninety percent! The Moyun Battle Armor, of course, could not weaken attack power by over ninety percent, but it could resist as much as possible…

Until it collapsed!

After being weakened by the Shi Wu Wings and General Armor, the remaining impact force, combined with the disintegration of the Moyun Battle Armor (which was comparable to a low-tier King-tier Immortal body), was completely exhausted.

The true value lay in the ‘Shi Wu Wings’ and ‘General Armor’.

However, both were extremely precious items.

The preciousness of the Shi Wu Wings needs no further explanation; it was a supreme treasure that even Cosmic Venerables would frantically pursue.

The General Armor, which blocked impact and was even better at blocking soul attacks, was a treasure that even the human race did not possess, nor did they even know of its existence or how to use it. Luo Feng was only able to use such a treasure by chance through cultivating an unnamed secret manual.

“Hahahaha…”

“Losing a Fire God Origin Crystal worth 800 million points to kill you and obtain that treasure that makes my body go wild, it’s totally worth it.”

The Golden Horned Beast also flew over with a roar. Its dark golden eyes looked at the G-grade metal cabin, black segmented whip, two world rings, battle armor remnants, etc. Especially sensing the intense call from one of the world rings to every cell of its body, thousands and tens of thousands of times stronger than the General Armor, an excited look appeared in its cold eyes.

Such a great price paid.

It was worth it!
