Sending to Their Doom

At the Imperial Prince's command, the massive encirclement began to shrink. The entire encirclement spanned a diameter of thirty billion kilometers, involving hundreds of millions of native warriors. The ratio of Sector Lord warriors to Immortal warriors was approximately 1000:1. While these Sector Lord warriors might not be able to stop Luo Feng, they were more than sufficient as 'eyes'. Such a vast encirclement would take two to three days to traverse even at sub-light speed. The encirclement was divided into nine layers. The inner eight layers... were all Sector Lord-level warriors. Only the outermost layer consisted of Immortal warriors and Universe Venerable generals! "That outsider definitely can't escape." "He's already trapped within the encirclement; capture or death is his only outcome." The Sector Lord warriors, tens of thousands of kilometers apart, began to advance rapidly. Their 'world power' unleashed, it resonated with the Jiuyou World's power, sweeping across vast areas, ensuring no outsider could evade detection. The encirclement was shrinking, continuously advancing. Approximately three hours later. "An outsider! It's an outsider!!!" A rapidly flying Sector Lord warrior suddenly halted, looking down at the ground below, while simultaneously reporting the intelligence. *Tear!* The parched earth suddenly tore open, and a silver-armored, silver-winged figure swiftly shot into the sky, exuding a powerful aura and moving with extreme speed. "Chase!" The Sector Lord warrior desperately pursued, but the difference in strength was too vast. *Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!* Dozens of Sector Lord warriors gave chase from all directions. Yet, they could only watch helplessly as the silver-armored, silver-winged figure surged towards the outside of the encirclement. "He can't escape. We're only the innermost layer of the encirclement, which has a full nine layers." These Sector Lord warriors began to retreat, returning to their positions. At this moment— The entire northern part of the encirclement ceased its advance. Sector Lord warriors from the second, third, fourth... up to the eighth layers all began to pursue. *Whoosh!* The silver-armored, silver-winged figure continuously flickered and evaded, quickly shaking off the Sector Lord warriors. "He's certainly fast at escaping." "This outsider's speed is truly astonishing." In the outermost ninth layer, Immortal warriors had already begun to gather. The pursuit by the Sector Lord warriors in the first eight layers was actually to pinpoint the outsider's exact coordinates... allowing the powerhouses in the outermost ninth layer to assemble in advance and gather at critical positions. From the first layer to the ninth, the silver-armored, silver-winged figure flew for nearly thirty minutes. "He has passed through the eighth layer and is about to arrive." "Everyone must be careful. This outsider's speed is extremely fast. According to earlier intelligence, even our clan's captain-level powerhouses couldn't catch him, so a one-on-one fight is absolutely out of the question. Our various squads must rely on encirclement, joint attacks, and using our assaults to block him." The nearly 800 gathered Immortal warriors, divided into three large teams, were already poised and ready. Thirty minutes was enough for Immortal warriors to fly hundreds of millions of kilometers. Therefore, all Immortal warriors within hundreds of millions of kilometers had converged here! A total of nearly 800 Immortal warriors. Elsewhere in the encirclement, the Imperial Prince was present. "I didn't expect him to flee in that direction." The Imperial Prince shook his head. "It's a pity I can't engage him immediately. I hope his strength is considerable, enough to withstand the first wave of attacks from 800 of our clan's Immortal warriors, survive with 20% or 30% of his divine body intact, and preserve his life. Then I can personally meet this outsider." "Imperial Prince, that outsider is quite extraordinary. Under the siege of 800 of our clan's warriors, while he certainly can't escape, preserving his life should be no problem," a lean Universe Venerable respectfully stated beside him. "They've begun their move." The Imperial Prince's eyes lit up. Through the synchronized transmission of the virtual world, he could see everything clearly. Three large teams. A total of nearly 800 Immortal warriors. "The outsider has appeared! Jiuyou Combined Attack!" The highest-ranking and most authoritative among the nearly 800 Immortal warriors immediately issued the command. All Immortal warriors simultaneously raised their thick right arms, which resembled intertwining tree vines, and let out a synchronized 'awoo' roar. Immediately after, their arms ignited, glowing with blood-red divine power. *Buzz!* The blood-colored energy currents in this part of the world were completely stirred, frantically converging towards each Immortal warrior. Above the right arm of each Immortal warrior, a blurry, blood-colored blade-shadow energy current appeared. Above the more than 200 Immortal warriors, these 200-plus blood-colored blade-shadow energy currents were directly drawn together, forming a massive 'blood blade'. Above each of the three Immortal warrior teams, a giant blood blade condensed. These blood blades frantically absorbed the blood-colored energy currents from the heavens and earth, causing their power to continuously swell until they reached the limit of what these Immortal warriors could control. *Whoosh!* The silver-armored, silver-winged figure, upon appearing and seeing the Immortal warrior teams in the distance, immediately fled in panic. Alas, there was also an Immortal warrior team in each of the other two directions. Besides retreating... he had nowhere to run! "Attack!" A command was given. The three teams, positioned in three directions, with nearly 800 Immortal warriors, simultaneously swung their right arms in unison! *Whoosh!* The massive blood blades immediately tore through the air, flying out. Wherever the blood blades passed, nothing could resist them. The three colossal blood blades simultaneously converged to crush the silver-armored, silver-winged figure. The silver-armored, silver-winged figure's aura surged skyward as it desperately tried to flee, but how could it match the speed of the blood blades? *Boom!* The blood blades flew for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. As they drew near, the three colossal blood blades simultaneously exploded! A mighty and terrifying power, as if a super powerhouse had self-destructed nearby, swept over the silver-armored, silver-winged figure in an instant. "Ah!" A shrill, painful shriek echoed across the sky, and under this immense power, the silver-armored, silver-winged figure was directly annihilated into nothingness, vanishing completely. "The outsider Immortal is dead!" The nearly 800 Immortal warriors swiftly flew over, their divine power sweeping through. "Only an ordinary Immortal's weapon and a World Ring remain!" The Imperial Prince immediately received the news. "Dead?" The Imperial Prince was quite surprised. He had heard that the outsider Immortal's speed could surpass their own 'captain-level Immortal warriors', which led him to believe the opponent was extraordinary, especially since within the Jiuyou World... their own clan members received boosts, while outsiders were suppressed. "Imperial Prince, in the Jiuyou Combined Attack, the Immortal warriors are merely catalysts. What they draw upon is the world power of our realm, so it's not surprising to kill that outsider. If there are enough Immortal warriors, and the world power they draw upon is strong enough, it's even possible to kill a Universe Venerable," a burly Universe Venerable respectfully stated beside him. The Imperial Prince, however, ordered through the virtual world: "Examine that World Ring." A moment later, a report was received. Inside the World Ring... there were no treasures, just some items belonging to an ordinary Immortal. To the Imperial Prince, they were mere junk. "Fake. That deceased outsider must have been a fake." The Imperial Prince shook his head. "Someone whose speed could surpass our clan's captain-level Immortal warriors must be extraordinary in the outside world. How could he possess so little?" "Perhaps he's just exceptionally skilled at escaping," the lean Universe Venerable said. "First, sweep the area again," the Imperial Prince said, simultaneously issuing commands through the virtual world. "All Immortal warriors return to your positions!" The Imperial Prince commanded. "The encirclement will continue to shrink." The 800 Immortal warriors retreated and returned. Their previous gathering had taken nearly thirty minutes, and returning to their original positions also took nearly thirty minutes. Back and forth, because of this silver-armored, silver-winged figure, an hour had already been wasted. Another two hours later. "Outsider detected! Outsider detected!" The message spread. "What, another outsider?" "Didn't the outsider die?" The Imperial Prince, who was controlling the entire encirclement, received the news and burst into laughter: "I knew it! That outsider is not to be underestimated. It seems he must have used an Immortal servant, making the Immortal servant transform into his likeness to deliberately lure us." "Your Highness, what should we do now? This second outsider who appeared... might not necessarily be him," the two Universe Venerables both looked at the Imperial Prince. Although they both had their own ideas, the Imperial Prince's status was immensely revered, and regardless of right or wrong, they generally followed his commands. "Continue according to the original plan. Every outsider who appears must be treated with caution," the Imperial Prince said confidently. "If we're careless and one escapes, it might just be the very outsider we're trying to catch." "But this way, the encirclement will shrink slower." "Better to be a little slower, but we must sweep thoroughly, eradicating all outsiders and letting none escape! This way, that outsider definitely won't get away," the Imperial Prince ordered. Indeed, everything was as the Imperial Prince had guessed: these were Immortal servants sent out by Luo Feng. Each Immortal servant desperately fled within the encirclement, attracting a large number of Immortal warriors to converge, only to be ultimately annihilated. However, each time Immortal warriors gathered and then returned to their positions... it wasted at least one hour, and sometimes up to two hours. Amidst the tall grass. Luo Feng was frowning, contemplating the entire detailed plan. "Fortunately, several of my servants are soul masters. They each possess dozens, even hundreds, of servants, and some of their servants even have servants of their own." Luo Feng didn't particularly care about these servants. While the speed of each Immortal servant might not necessarily be faster than these native Sector Lords, once they burned their divine power, their strength would soar a thousandfold, making each Immortal servant far surpass a Sector Lord warrior. Immortal servants, one by one, went to their deaths. Continuously buying time! "Faster, faster, faster," Luo Feng thought anxiously. "Each time I send out a servant, it only slows down one side of the encirclement; the other three sides continue to advance." "I need to block all four sides simultaneously!" "Delaying for one more day will cost nearly a hundred servants," Luo Feng mused. "Immortal servants are still very useful, whether for 'God Kingdom Teleportation' or as bait, so I can't waste them so recklessly." Luo Feng looked up at the sky. Directly above him... deep within the blood-colored energy currents, his Demon Killer clone was continuously employing its talent secret technique, 'Domain', advancing downwards repeatedly. "Faster. Now it's a race to see if their encirclement shrinks faster, or if my Demon Killer clone arrives faster." Luo Feng was anxious. He had once planned to have his servants escape to draw the outermost Immortal warriors into a gathering, then he would exploit the sparse defenses in certain areas to escape himself. But after careful consideration, Luo Feng realized the success rate wasn't high! Because the encirclement was set up very cleverly. Although roughly circular, the nine layers of the encirclement, especially the last one, were actually more like gears. Some Immortal warriors would be spread out very far, and while most Immortal warriors would be drawn away, a very small number would still act as 'sentinels'. With their 'gear-like' sentinel structure, taking turns to track, it wouldn't be difficult to keep an eye on Luo Feng for an hour or two. "This is still good luck. If my luck were bad, and they stationed a Universe Venerable in that direction because servants frequently escaped there, I'd be finished," Luo Feng thought to himself. "The safest method is for my Demon Killer clone to arrive." "He's the best at stealth and escape," Luo Feng looked up at the sky.
