Chapter 873
Assassination
The more than one hundred thousand undying powerhouses gathered from across the cosmos, the moment the Sealing Star shot into the sky, was like a stone cast into a calm lake, shattering the silence instantly! The vast host of alien undying gods surged into action, and various long-range attacks erupted simultaneously! Boom! Crash! The once tranquil void shattered instantly like fragile paper, as countless spatial fragments flew chaotically like shards of ice in water. These myriad spatial fragments made it far more difficult for the undying powerhouses of all races to fly. “Spatial Lock.” “Spatial Lock.” The instant the Sealing Star appeared, a large group of King-tier pinnacle powerhouses activated 'Spatial Lock.' They absolutely did not want to see other powerhouses teleport next to the Sealing Star and claim it. ...“Quick, charge!” “Charge!” “Space is locked, teleportation is useless. We must unite and hurry!” Sky Array King and others urgently transmitted orders. Luo Feng, who had just been about to have Heavy Arrow King teleport him, saw the entire space instantly shatter into countless fragments, and the spatial self-repair ability, whose speed was far outstripped by the rate of destruction. He also saw space forcibly locked by numerous powerhouses. He could only order: “Heavy Arrow King, abandon teleportation. We'll fly there!” “Yes, Master.” “Remember, your divine power must constantly surround me to prevent any powerhouses from using soul attacks,” Luo Feng commanded mentally. His greatest weakness was soul defense. Although the Secret Art of Beast God's Roar, over 32 times soul amplitude, combined with King-tier level law comprehension, coupled with an incredibly resolute will, and the Golden Horned Beast's naturally powerful consciousness—all these factors combined made Luo Feng's soul defense comparable to a high-tier Marquis. Furthermore, with the significant weakening effects of the Silver Armor and the Wu God Wings, even a high-tier King-tier expert proficient in soul attacks would find it difficult to kill Luo Feng, though they could cause trouble. However, a King-tier pinnacle expert proficient in soul attacks could pose an extremely terrifying threat to Luo Feng, provided they didn't burn their undying divine power. If they did burn their undying divine power, even a beginner King-tier could destroy Luo Feng's Earthling true body in terms of soul. Fortunately... experts proficient in soul attacks were rare! Luo Feng hadn't suffered from them before, but among the more than one hundred thousand undying gods of various races here, such experts were too numerous. Although the Earthling true body was merely a clone, capable of being re-conceived even if destroyed, having its soul suddenly extinguished in such a dangerous environment would be disastrous. “Yes, Master.” Heavy Arrow King followed Luo Feng. They roared towards the distant Sealing Star, while thousands of other undying gods also charged towards the Sealing Star. “Block them!” “Block them!” Sky Array King urgently transmitted his shouts. Luo Feng and his group of a thousand undying gods collectively unleashed their undying divine power attacks, forming energy shields and barriers to block the terrifying incoming assaults. ...Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A grand melee! Among the more than one hundred thousand alien undying gods from the four major factions, over 95% were King-tier. They had secretly formed alliances of five hundred, one thousand, or two thousand individuals. At this moment, some scattered attacks, and occasional combined attacks, though not as precisely coordinated as a Zerg army, possessed a power that made hearts tremble. There was only one way to resist such attacks—hundreds or thousands of powerhouses, combining their strength to defend. “They've gone mad,” Luo Feng held his breath completely. His proud defenses dared not resist those combined attacks. “Block them.” “Be careful.” “Charge, charge, charge.” Sky Array King and several other 'King-tier ultimate' or 'King-tier pinnacle' powerhouses, proficient in soul attacks, urgently transmitted their shouts. “Not good.” Luo Feng was naturally safe within his faction, but seeing the distant Sealing Star already surrounded by a multitude of powerhouses, where the roars and explosions were the most intense and terrifying, made Luo Feng's expression change. “Just now, we were within the entire human faction, with tens of thousands of human undyings gathered. Although divided into small alliances, they wouldn't kill each other. Attacks from afar would only occasionally land on us as a combined strike, requiring us to carefully defend collectively once in a while. Overall, it wasn't too dangerous.” “But the closer we get to the Sealing Star... it'll be a complete free-for-all.” Luo Feng had a feeling that the first fallen undying in their alliance would likely appear soon. “Charge!” Luo Feng's team, composed of a thousand undying gods, collectively flew towards the Sealing Star in unison. At the same moment, dozens of other teams were also collectively charging towards the Sealing Star. Meanwhile, the teams lagging behind gritted their teeth and unleashed combined attacks repeatedly, simply blasting towards the Sealing Star's location! “Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!~~~” At the location of the Sealing Star, roars were incessant, and space itself had completely transformed into a particle stream. Although teams were approaching, no one dared to charge further in. Because the repeated combined attacks from various teams almost all landed on the Sealing Star, this level of power was already capable of 'destroying a Universe Venerable.' Yet, the Sealing Star, worthy of being a treasure even Universe Venerables valued, remained completely unharmed by such bombardment. As teams surged to the forefront, the number of teams behind them dwindled, and the bombardment naturally weakened... And once the number of teams closest to the Sealing Star increased, their combined strength alone could easily block the attacks from behind. Though it sounds slow! In reality, by the 12th second after the Sealing Star appeared, it was no longer being bombarded. The Sealing Star, having been struck, was now flying diagonally downwards due to inertia. “Seize the treasure!” “Seize the treasure!” Undyings from all races frantically rushed towards the Sealing Star. Almost instantly, over ten thousand alien undyings surged onto the surface of the Sealing Star. After all, this was a star comparable to a planet; even if all one hundred thousand undyings landed on it, it wouldn't be crowded. These alien undyings all rapidly permeated the Sealing Star with their 'undying power,' attempting to imprint their soul marks. To control a supreme treasure, one must fully imprint a soul mark, which requires a relatively short amount of time. However, with over ten thousand alien undyings, the fastest and slowest among them probably differed by less than 0.1 seconds. In such a short time, with so many soul marks... they naturally all failed. Imprinting a mark must be a singular process, intolerant of interference. After all, a supreme treasure can only have one master. ...Luo Feng's team was among the second batch to land on the Sealing Star. At this moment, there were already over thirty thousand alien undyings on the Sealing Star. “How can it possibly be subdued like this?” Luo Feng touched the Sealing Star, his imprinting attempt failed, and he secretly shook his head. The number of undying gods on the Sealing Star was rapidly increasing: forty thousand, fifty thousand, sixty thousand... “Boom!” A terrifying combined attack from afar instantly descended. Thousands of undyings on the Sealing Star, facing this threat, almost simultaneously deployed their defenses, easily blocking the strike. However, due to the impact... the Sealing Star was sent flying downwards even faster. “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”... Strike after strike came from afar, easily resisted repeatedly by the alien undying gods on the Sealing Star. “It's them.” Luo Feng glanced over and saw about thirty thousand undying gods still suspended in mid-air in the distance, divided into various teams. Among them, Talong King, Xuanmu King, Seven Swords King, and nine other terrifying existences, along with the teams they led, were also in the distance, not charging forward at all. “The strong and the weak have different ways of seizing treasures,” Luo Feng mused. “Sky Array King and many other weaker undyings can only try to reach the Sealing Star as quickly as possible. But super-existences like Talong King, even if some lucky undying obtains the Sealing Star, they are confident they can kill that undying and seize the treasure.” “Flee quickly!” “Flee quickly!” Shrill mental transmissions spread from all directions. Many undying gods urgently transmitted messages to their surroundings, frantically fleeing the Sealing Star. “Rumble~~” The Sealing Star plummeted downwards at an extremely high speed. Although the invisible barrier below had been pierced and torn before, this invisible barrier was the energy of the Star Tower. Even though it was shattered, the resulting fluctuations became even more violent. Some undying gods who were fleeing but were attacked by hostile factions nearby, even if not killed, were blasted flying backwards, touching the violent Star Tower energy below... Pfft! Whether beginner King-tier, King-tier pinnacle, or King-tier ultimate, if they fell downwards without time to dodge and were affected by the violent energy, they instantly turned into dust. Some powerhouses' weapons were destroyed as a result, some inferior World Rings shattered, while good World Rings might have survived. “What terrifying power,” Luo Feng gasped in astonishment. That invisible barrier had once been stable, suppressing countless Sealing Stars and the terrifying energy contained below. But once shattered, the invisible barrier itself transformed into violent energy, and combined with other equally aggressive energies—these were all miraculous powers born from the Star Tower... easily annihilating King-tiers one by one. Anyone who dared to touch it would surely die. “Treasure.” “King Qianshen's World Ring.” “It's mine.” Below the void, near the thousands of Sealing Stars, the danger made all powerhouses tremble with fear, but those unfortunate fallen undyings also left behind a large number of floating treasures, causing many powerhouses to even rush to snatch those relics, because those relics that 'survived the violent energy impact' would be blasted out, allowing them to easily collect the treasures. ...Amidst the chaos, the nine great powerhouses, each with their teams, remained completely unhurried. “Is the Sealing Star so easily obtained?” The Mechanical Race powerhouse 'King Mingyun,' clad in golden armor with a dark, eerie glow on his skin, coldly watched the distance. “They are all too impatient... The myriad exits haven't even appeared yet. Even if they obtain the Sealing Star now, they won't be able to escape and will only become targets.” King Mingyun, however, forgot... Other undyings weren't as strong as him. If they didn't act early, foolishly watching from afar and waiting until the last moment, they wouldn't even be qualified to intervene and would have no hope at all. “Seizing the Sealing Star is the secondary objective this time. Seven Swords King is the primary objective of this operation.” King Mingyun glanced at Seven Swords King in the distance. The Mechanical Race possessed detailed intelligence on the human 'Seven Swords King.' This Seven Swords King was ranked third among the human geniuses the Mechanical Race currently sought to assassinate. Ranked first was the Sector Lord Luo Feng, whose talent was comparable to Ke Di. He was directly taken as a personal disciple by the terrifying Chaos City Lord among humans. According to their information, this Luo Feng should currently be in the Outer Territory Battlefield, and quite a few undying gods had died by his hand. However, he later vanished without a trace, presumably having realized the danger and gone into hiding. Ranked second was the human 'King Mengsui.' Ranked third was Seven Swords King.
