Escape

Talasha's heart was filled with fury. She never imagined an alien would impersonate one of her kin. She had even touched 'fake Beifa's' braid, which only intensified her rage. "Unforgivable!"

Boom!

Talasha instantly teleported above Luo Feng, gazing coldly at the 'fake Beifa' below. Without a word, she pointed a finger at Demon Killer Luo Feng. A purple ray instantly shot towards Demon Killer Luo Feng. The moment Demon Killer Luo Feng saw Talasha appear, he knew something was wrong. "Damn it, I've been discovered! Initiate Third Protocol!"

Luo Feng immediately used teleportation at the same instant. But the purple ray was indeed extremely fast, instantly piercing into Luo Feng's body. A chilling cold swept through Luo Feng, as if his will and consciousness were frozen. However—this finger, which possessed immense power against the soul, encountered the Demon Killer Race clone, which was completely immune to soul attacks.

"Whoosh!" Luo Feng had already vanished.

...

"What?!" Talasha couldn't believe it. Her full-power attack, meant to freeze the enemy's soul, had allowed the enemy to escape. Talasha closed her eyes and sensed in all directions, her consciousness merging with spatial law fluctuations, trying to perceive... But clearly, Luo Feng's teleportation distance was too vast, exceeding her sensory range.

"Talasha, don't make such mistakes again. Leave it to me." A powerful voice echoed in Talasha's mind.

"Leader, he stole a black metal plate."

"I know. Leave everything to me."

"Yes, Leader." Talasha nodded, but her heart still held a trace of unwillingness.

She didn't believe that cunning fellow could escape. When she used teleportation, the two most terrifying Universe Masters in the entire Ice Prison Star Belt would notice. Even if the alien managed to teleport away first due to being caught off guard, with two Universe Masters... any one of them could easily pursue and capture him.

...

Whoosh!

Demon Killer Luo Feng suddenly appeared in the void above the Star River, then vanished again.

Whoosh!

Above a massive continent, Demon Killer Luo Feng suddenly appeared, then vanished again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He frantically used teleportation, each jump covering more than 1 light-year... Luo Feng didn't care what dangers he might encounter, only focused on escaping at the fastest possible speed...

...

Above a continent, a blue Doukou figure exuding immense pressure stood in the void, a hint of a smile in his eyes. "This little alien fellow escapes really fast. But merely understanding teleportation and mastering the entire law of space... those are different levels. How could you possibly escape my grasp?"

The blue Doukou figure spread his senses in all directions, detecting various fluctuations... and easily felt a teleportation fluctuation in one direction.

"Right there."

The blue Doukou figure flashed, pursuing as if toying with his prey.

Generally, after comprehending 'teleportation', whether a Boundary Lord or a King, the teleportation distance is similar. Teleportation depends more on one's comprehension of the 'law of space'! In an instant, the body merges with spatial fluctuations, directly transmitting to a spatial fluctuation coordinate position in the distant, perceivable range.

After comprehending teleportation, sensing in a single direction can generally cover more than 1 light-year.

But if one senses in all directions simultaneously, it becomes much more strenuous, and the sensory range is only about one percent of sensing in a single direction. So, once Luo Feng escaped... Talasha simply couldn't sense where Luo Feng had teleported to. But the two Universe Masters were different.

After comprehending the complete law of space, the teleportation distance of Universe Masters becomes exaggerated. A Universe Master can directly teleport over a thousand light-years in a single jump! Even when sensing in all directions simultaneously... they can cover a radius of over ten light-years.

Fortunately, Luo Feng was constantly teleporting, his position always changing. Even the Universe Master would need to put in some effort to immediately catch Luo Feng.

...

Whoosh!

Demon Killer Luo Feng appeared out of thin air on a continuous mountain range, his hands and feet braced against the ground.

Whoosh!

He vanished again!

Almost simultaneously, the blue Doukou figure appeared above the continuous mountain range, then vanished again.

...

One chasing, one fleeing.

"This little fellow really doesn't stop." The blue Doukou figure grew a little impatient after chasing for dozens of seconds, because he was teleporting dozens of times every second. If this Universe Master wanted to catch him easily, it would be difficult. Because he had to confirm where Luo Feng appeared before he could teleport.

The process of confirming and then teleporting allowed Luo Feng to slip away one step ahead.

"I'll have to expend some effort."

The blue Doukou figure stood in the void, surrounded by black hills. Among tens of thousands of floating black hills were also spaceship wrecks. This was one of the dangerous areas within the Wuhua Secret Realm. Of course, for a Universe Master... these things didn't matter. He directly unleashed his technique.

"Boom!"

Dazzling blue light erupted from the blue Doukou figure. For a moment, the blue Doukou figure seemed to transform into a star, radiating endless blue light.

Expending such powerful energy was to interfere with 'spatial fluctuations'. With the strength of a Universe Master, having mastered the complete law of space, one could easily seal and destroy spatial fluctuations! Merely influencing spatial fluctuations was even simpler, but normally, there were range limitations. At this moment, the Universe Master burned a small amount of divine power, and instantly, the power became incredibly formidable...

"Buzz!"

It was as if plucking a string, easily transmitting to its end.

As this Universe Master unleashed his full power, the spatial fluctuations were instantly disrupted, spreading out over ten light-years in an instant...

A light-year is an extremely vast range.

In normal combat, a Universe Master couldn't even affect a 1 light-year range. Even for something as simple as interfering with spatial fluctuations, they still had to burn a small amount of immortal divine power to interfere beyond 10 light-years.

...

In the mist-shrouded void.

Demon Killer Luo Feng was about to teleport but shook his head with a sigh. He could clearly sense the spatial fluctuations instantly becoming chaotic, many places even breaking. Although they would recover quickly, for now—he couldn't teleport.

"Boom!"

A powerful pressure permeated, enveloping the surrounding void. At the same time, the surrounding space was naturally and completely sealed. That terrifying seal... made Luo Feng unable to move, as if he was tightly bound!

"Greetings, Master." Demon Killer Luo Feng called out.

"Change back to your original form. I don't like killing my own kind." A powerful voice sounded. The blue Doukou figure appeared before Luo Feng. His height was similar to other Doukou, but he exuded much more pressure. Standing there, he represented the will of space. That pressure... Luo Feng was secretly astonished.

"Since you're going to kill me, why should I obey your command?" Luo Feng looked at the Universe Master before him.

The Blue Doukou Master looked at Luo Feng. "You're quite bold. Are you relying on being a Demon Killer Race member, unafraid of my soul control?"

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded.

The Demon Killer Race has no soul, so it's naturally impossible to be 'soul controlled'. This is determined by the difference in life forms! Luo Feng had checked the data long ago and was very clear about all this.

"Speak, Demon Killer Race genius." The Blue Doukou Master looked at Luo Feng. "You, a Boundary Lord, can actually teleport. Even for the Demon Killer Race, that's an incredible, peerless genius, yet you came here. What puzzles me even more is that from your continuous teleportation, you clearly knew that teleportation couldn't escape my pursuit, so why did you perform useless actions, teleporting again and again, forcing me to burn 0.1% of my divine body! You should know... doing this is provoking my anger. Knowing you can't escape, yet still angering a Universe Master, is very unwise."

"Yes!" Demon Killer Luo Feng grinned. "You'll know the reason if you kill me."

"You mean to say...?"

The Blue Doukou Master's eyes erupted with killing intent, and he showed a look of fury. He suddenly waved his hand, and with a rumble~~~ an invisible giant palm directly struck Demon Killer Luo Feng, instantly annihilating Luo Feng completely. Even the ordinary World Ring and sensor he carried were annihilated, countless materials turned to dust.

"It's not there! That black metal plate... it's gone!" The Blue Doukou Master looked carefully. He had smashed the alien to pieces, all ordinary items shattered and annihilated, yet he found no trace of the item.

The Blue Doukou Master's expression changed.

Throughout the entire Ice Prison Star Belt... other Doukou didn't know the importance of that black metal plate, but he and the Purple Doukou Master, the two Universe Masters, both knew!

"I've been played!" The Blue Doukou Master snorted in anger. "He must have dropped that black metal plate during one of his teleportations."

...

In another part of the Wuhua Secret Realm, thousands of light-years away from the Ice Prison Star Belt.

A biological spaceship was suspended there.

Inside the spaceship.

Luo Feng stood in the control room, holding a rock in his hand, a smile on his face. "The item is in hand!"

To obtain the black metal plate of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual this time, Luo Feng had devised numerous plans. For the Demon Killer Race clone's operation alone, there were six contingency plans! Enough to deal with various situations. This 'Third Protocol'... was actually based on the assumption that a Universe Master wouldn't easily burn divine power.

Third Protocol: When the Demon Killer Race clone is discovered, immediately teleport to snatch the metal plate, then immediately teleport away! Then, teleport again and again, the process must be fast! Fast! Fast! Without a trace of hesitation!

With continuous teleportation, even if the Universe Master pursued at first, he wouldn't be willing to burn divine power.

Only when he grew impatient with the chase would he rather burn divine power to capture Demon Killer Luo Feng!

However—

In reality, on that floating, continuous mountain range, Luo Feng had already arranged for a servant in a World Ring, lurking within the mountain range. When the Demon Killer Race clone teleported there, while bracing his hands and feet against the mountain, he also placed a 'World Ring' disguised as a rock there, then immediately teleported away again.

The Blue Doukou Master kept chasing... but didn't know that the black metal plate was being carried by Luo Feng's servant, undergoing cosmic travel... flying for ten seconds in the Dark Universe before returning to the 'Wuhua Secret Realm', by which time it would be in some remote, unknown location.

"Item in hand, time to go back."

"This operation cost one Marquis-level Demon Snail Monkey and the Demon Killer Race clone, but it only takes a little energy to re-incubate it." Luo Feng held the rock in his hand, a smile on his face.

Suddenly, a chilling aura spread from behind him.

Luo Feng's expression changed, and he sharply turned around.

Standing behind him was a beautiful, alluring figure clad in translucent purple gauze, vaguely revealing her naked form. But Luo Feng's heart trembled. He knew... who this was. This was none other than the other of the two great Universe Masters of the entire Ice Prison Star Belt—the Purple Doukou Master!
