Chapter 874
Luo Feng in Waiting
Humans are one of the four peak races. Those who can rank among the top three in the Mechanical Race's assassination of geniuses are all extraordinary individuals in terms of talent, temperament, and fortune. Take the Seven Swords King, for example—the Mechanical Race has confirmed that the Seven Swords King possesses the complete set of treasures known as 'Seven Swords,' along with several other treasures like the 'Void Grip.' Furthermore, it is speculated that the Seven Swords King must have obtained a special and terrifying legacy from somewhere in the cosmos.
“The legacy this human Seven Swords King obtained likely originates from the 'Ancestral God Sect,' the foremost power in the cosmos, and is one of the super legacies within the Ancestral God Sect,” Fatefall King murmured. “If he is allowed to develop further, the probability of him becoming another terrifying existence within the human race is extremely high.”
“Kill him.”
“Cause his demise once. Even if his teacher reverses time and resurrects him, resurrecting a near-undefeatable King-level expert with a terrifying legacy would cost no less than resurrecting a Universe Venerable. Moreover, his set of 'Seven Swords' treasures, along with other miscellaneous treasures like the 'Void Grip,' will also fall into my hands.” Fatefall King glanced at the team led by the Seven Swords King in the distance.
The Seven Swords King, with seven battle swords on his back, stood suspended in the air, gazing at the Sealing Star in the distance, neither rushed nor impatient.
“Prepare,” Fatefall King quietly ordered.
The Mechanical Race is a highly hierarchical race, akin to a perfectly governed pyramid. The nature of their intelligent life makes them incredibly united. Fatefall King held the highest status among them, and the other Mechanical Race powerhouses would absolutely obey his commands. As for the other alien super powerhouses aligned with the Mechanical Race, they were also attracted by the strict orders from the 'Virtual World's Military System' and immense rewards, prompting them to exert their full strength.
“Target: Seven Swords King.”
“Protocol Six.”
“Activate the Disintegration Tower!”
“Attack!”
...
As the Undying Zerg Queen Nancheng, Talong King, Seven Swords King, Fatefall King, and others watched silently from afar, the Sealing Star was directly bombarded and plummeted into the 'dangerous zone.' Upon touching the dangerous zone, King-level powerhouses fell one after another, astonishing and enraging the other powerhouses.
“Relics.”
“World Rings.”
“Grab them!”
The legacies left behind by the dozens of fallen alien undyings immediately sparked a scramble.
“Haha… below is the dangerous zone, filled with the chaotic sealing power of the Star Tower itself. Once touched, death is certain! We usually find it hard to kill other King-level undyings, but here, as long as we 'knock' them into the dangerous zone, they're dead for sure.”
“Kill.” The vast majority of undyings from various races who had just escaped the Sealing Star and participated in this struggle immediately descended into chaos.
While they had initially formed teams when collectively rushing towards the Sealing Star, chaos had already begun once they landed on it. When faced with danger, as they fled the Sealing Star, the various factions became even more disorganized, no longer forming coherent teams. Perhaps their surroundings were now filled with various alien factions.
“Bang!”
“Boom!”
Psychic weapons, soul attacks, energy attacks, mechanical weapon attacks… amidst the shattered cosmic space, many unlucky King-level powerhouses were blasted into the dangerous zone, instantly annihilated.
“Grab!” “Grab!”
“Haha, I came here waiting for this moment. How could I possibly obtain the Sealing Star itself? But by using this dangerous zone, I can kill King-level experts from other factions one by one. Maybe I can gain hundreds of billions, even trillions of mixed-element units of wealth in one go.” A human giant with six arms excitedly slaughtered.
Whether human, Mechanical Race, Monster Race, Zerg Race, or countless other alien races within their respective factions, all were engaged in slaughter and plunder!
“Everyone has gone mad. A Sealing Star itself only has one owner, and not many powerhouses will fall for it,” Luo Feng overlooked the dangerous zone below. “But this dangerous zone allows King-level experts, who possess undying bodies, to be easily killed. This is a rare opportunity. Those peak King-level experts are all going berserk…”
Suddenly—
“Roar!!!”
A swirling emerald light wave instantly swept across the endless sky, causing tens of thousands of King-level powerhouses from across the cosmos to freeze. Luo Feng and Heavy Arrow King were also stunned. Luo Feng looked over… the team led by the Mechanical Race's Fatefall King in the distance consisted of over a hundred Mechanical Race members.
Each held a tower-shaped technological weapon, about three meters tall, while Fatefall King himself was inside a super-large tower nearly 20 meters high.
Nearly 900 alien King-level experts simultaneously burned a portion of their undying god bodies. Every eight or nine aliens assisted one Mechanical Race powerhouse, channeling the terrifying energy generated from burning their undying god bodies into the towers. Over a hundred such towers… simultaneously created a terrifying energy transmission network, converging into the super-large tower controlled by Fatefall King.
Then—
An emerald swirling light wave shot across the sky, directly towards the team led by the Seven Swords King.
“Disintegration Tower!” The Seven Swords King's usually calm face instantly changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and anger. “The Mechanical Race is truly willing to go all out for me!”
“Burn! The defense plan I mentioned earlier!” The Seven Swords King angrily transmitted.
As one of the nine super powerhouses present.
Before commanding this team, the Seven Swords King had already laid out defense and attack plans.
None of his King-level subordinates hesitated. The Mechanical Race's attack was primarily aimed at the Seven Swords King; if they didn't act, the Seven Swords King would surely die. But the spreading energy alone would be enough to annihilate them! So, this group of human faction powerhouses simultaneously burned their undying god bodies…
Strangely, they directly dispersed the energy generated from burning their undying bodies into the air.
“Roar~~” The Seven Swords King suddenly opened his mouth.
A golden pool flew out from his mouth. The edges of this golden pool were adorned with ancient, mottled carvings of various exotic beasts, including the 'Beast God.' These carvings covered the entire rim of the pool, which was dry inside. The moment it flew out, it instantly began to frantically devour the energy dispersed by the human faction powerhouses around it.
“Rumble~~~” Energy surged.
After devouring the energy, the ancient golden pool's power dramatically increased, immediately spreading an invisible golden shield that enveloped all thousand-plus powerhouses of the human faction. “Bang~~~” The swirling emerald light wave shot from the Disintegration Tower slammed into this golden shield, causing ancient and powerful phantom beasts to appear on its surface.
“It truly is the Ancestral God Sect!” From the Mechanical Race's side in the distance, Fatefall King gritted his teeth upon seeing this. “The speculation was indeed correct.”
This was the first time the Seven Swords King had revealed that ancient golden pool.
...
Luo Feng was also stunned. The 'Disintegration Tower' was a super-grade individual technological weapon of the Mechanical Race faction, its price no less than a treasure. But he never expected his fellow race member, the 'Seven Swords King,' to bring out that ancient golden pool. Just the aura of exotic beasts erupting when the golden pool activated… made all the powerhouses present realize that this was definitely a terrifying treasure.
It should be noted that Fatefall King's side of the Mechanical Race faction had meticulously planned and launched their strongest attack.
However, the Seven Swords King's side of the human faction was responding hastily. The undying divine power that the human faction members managed to burn was far less than their opponents. Yet, even with less energy supply, and despite the golden pool forming a shield, the disintegrating light wave failed to break through. Clearly, the 'golden pool' far surpassed the Disintegration Tower.
“Powerful.”
“Terrifying.”
Many alien races marveled, further losing any confidence in obtaining the Sealing Star.
“Kill.”
“Kill.”
The four factions clashed in chaos. Nearly a hundred thousand alien undyings mingled together, slaughtering each other frantically. Any who, due to the fighting, had their god bodies touch the dangerous zone, perished one by one.
“Buzz!” “Buzz!” “Buzz!” “Buzz!” “Buzz!” “Buzz!”
The entire shattered void vibrated.
Exits appeared in various distant locations around them, thousands of exits materializing out of thin air.
“Thousands of exits!”
“Thousands of exits have appeared!”
Anyone who had studied the detailed history of the Sealing Star's appearances would know that after the Sealing Star emerged, if the slaughter became too excessive, thousands of exits would automatically appear. Through any of these exits, one could quickly reach a forbidden space. Each exit represented a different forbidden space.
Entering an exit meant escaping.
“Escape.”
“Let's go quickly.” A very small number of weaker individuals, completely terrified by the madness of the struggle, flew towards the nearest exits, leaving one by one.
“Kill quickly.”
“Kill them.”
“If they escape, this opportunity will be lost.” Some peak King-level experts and pinnacle King-level experts were fighting desperately, wanting to use the 'dangerous zone' to kill more alien undyings and seize the legacies left behind by their deaths. For them, there had never been an opportunity to kill King-level undyings as easily as this moment.
...
Although Luo Feng participated in coming here, he didn't have the same fervor for the Sealing Star as other powerhouses, nor much enthusiasm for taking the opportunity to kill a large number of alien King-level experts. His heart was preoccupied with the entire Star Tower.
“That summons, far stronger than the General King Armor, or even the black metal plate.”
“Yet, I cannot bind it.”
“As soon as I arrived, it caused numerous commotions and even triggered the emergence of the Sealing Star.” Luo Feng thought silently. He didn't believe the Sealing Star's emergence was a coincidence; that it just happened to appear right when he arrived, and the Star Tower's summons to him was so strong. Could there be such a coincidence in the cosmos? Perhaps, but the probability was too, too low.
Luo Feng had always believed that there were some strange and special circumstances involved. Compared to the Star Tower's summons to him, the mere emergence of a Sealing Star naturally didn't concern Luo Feng.
Therefore…
From the very beginning, Luo Feng had simply gone with the flow, blending into the team. When the team charged, he charged. After reaching the Sealing Star, he didn't run around aimlessly but stayed close to human powerhouses like Sky Array King and Zangqi King. Later, when the Sealing Star plunged into the dangerous zone, he also fled with the vast army.
In short, Luo Feng had always gone with the flow, blending into the army, quietly observing everything, and carefully checking for any differences between this emergence of the Sealing Star and its historical appearances.
But at least so far, no special changes had occurred.
“If my conjecture is true.”
“Special circumstances should appear during the emergence of the Sealing Star.” Luo Feng was waiting for that moment.
