Meanwhile—
Abu Xika's physical body sank into the Dark Universe. His originally thin and small frame kept swelling larger, and the surrounding space instantly became a blur between real and unreal.
"Open!"
All at once, a mighty divine power erupted like a collapsing Milky Way. The spatial secret technique Huyan Bo used to hide the universe coordinates was shattered in an instant!
"Your Highness, the space-concealing secret technique has been destroyed!"
Inside the God Kingdom—
Abu Xika manifested out of thin air, bowing respectfully toward Jiang Li."Please wait a moment, Your Highness. I will now begin Dark Universe traversal!"
"Huh, is this Abu Xika actually stronger than my master?!"
Babata widened his eyes. Shock filled his face, but deep inside those blood-red pupils, a trace of loss flickered.
In truth—
Huyan Bo had no backing. Reaching power close to the fenghou undying level purely by his own talent was already incredibly rare.
But Abu Xika had followed Venerable Wanshan for tens of millions of years. With a Venerable's personal guidance, it wasn't strange at all that he surpassed Huyan Bo slightly in the path of the laws.
"Good."
Jiang Li nodded lightly.
Without constructing a space channel, Abu Xika couldn't perform God Kingdom teleportation, so he could only rely on his terrifyingly strong body to traverse the Dark Universe.
But with Abu Xika's strength—close to fenghou undying—his speed was far, far greater than the Demon-class starship. "Several times faster" wasn't enough to describe it!
Inside a silver cosmic spaceship—
The handsome captain had his eyes closed, his consciousness immersed in the Virtual Universe Network.
"Di!"
On the Qianwu Continent, inside a residential house on Heilongshan Island—
"Bro, you actually contacted me first?"
On the screen before the captain, an exceptionally handsome youth appeared, sneering."You should have arrived on that life planet, right?"
"Got into big trouble?"
"Pula, so what if there's trouble?"
Captain Bro sneered."After completing the sampling, I'll immediately look for a buyer in the Virtual Universe Network. I believe there'll be plenty of invincible existences below fenghou willing to pay for such a special life planet…"
"Fenghou Undying?!"
The handsome youth called Pula threw his head back and laughed mockingly."Hahaha—Bro, did an asteroid smash your brain?"
"Do you even know what a fenghou undying existence is?"
"Even the invincible guy who took over that life planet you discovered is only close to fenghou at best!"
Close and actual fenghou were completely different realms!
"Pula, I sent you the video. Watch it carefully. Pay attention to the weapon in that human's hand!"
Captain Bro couldn't be bothered to keep arguing and reminded him again and again:"Watch it. Think it through. Then come talk to me."
With that—
Bro directly shut off the virtual communication. He stood up leisurely, poured himself a glass of fine wine, and gently swirled it.
He believed—As long as Pula wasn't blind, he would definitely notice the clue.
"Di!"
"Captain, the family fleet is requesting a video call!"
The little sprite perched on Bro's shoulder—Atuka—reminded him.
"No rush."
Bro remained calm, gently swirling his fragrant wine.
"Captain, the family fleet is requesting video for the third time…"
"Captain…"
Seconds ticked by. Bro's lips curled into a cold smile."Without the universe coordinates… even if he enters the void region, that idiot Pula might still get lost."
"This time, I'll make the family understand—Bro of Nuolan Mountain is the most outstanding direct descendant of this generation."
"Captain, an unknown identifier is requesting connection. The sender claims to be a Universe-level powerhouse… and identifies himself as the second patriarch of the Nuolan Mountain clan!"
"Pff!"
Bro spat out his wine, leaping up in terror.
After taking several deep breaths, he forced down the trembling in his body and tried to look as calm as possible."Atuka, connect!"
Swoosh—
On the floating screen appeared a middle-aged man who somewhat resembled Bro.
"Old Patriarch!"
Captain Bro bowed respectfully to the man.
As the previous patriarch, this man had reached Universe Level 6—considered a mighty figure even within the Blue-Silver Empire.
"Bro."
The old patriarch's expression was kind, his smile gentle."I rarely pay attention to the younger ones of the family… but today, I learned we still have a good child like you."
"Old Patriarch flatters me!"
Bro looked overwhelmed with emotion.
"No, this is not flattery…"
The old patriarch praised again."The family needs children who dare to venture out. A greenhouse will never raise towering trees."
"Our Nuolan Mountain clan has always treated our people fairly. This life planet you discovered once served as the nest of someone close to fenghou undying, so its value is special…"
"And there is even a suspected heavy treasure weapon!"
"No matter the final outcome, the family will reward you with 300 billion Heilong coins, and grant you a Third-Tier weapon worth 20 billion, along with the honorary title of Lifetime Elder of the Clan Council!"
Hearing this—
Bro's eyes bulged round, trembling with excitement."Th-thank you, Old Patriarch! I'll send the universe coordinates immediately!"
"Mm."
The old patriarch nodded in satisfaction.
In truth—
A life planet wasn't anything rare for the Nuolan Mountain clan. Even if it was one occupied by an undying being, it was at most "a bit special."
What truly mattered…was the crimson longsword in the video.
If it really was a heavy treasure, then with this one weapon alone, the Nuolan Mountain clan would rise to the heavens, fully qualified to attach themselves to a fengwang undying!
If luck was good, they might even be able to serve under a Universe Venerable!
On the other side—
Alika and Kuromi swiftly crossed the great ocean and charged into the borders of Hanxia Nation, heading straight for Hongning Base City.
"Warning!"
"Warning!"
"Unknown lifeforms have entered the Hongning Base City alert zone!"
At the Extreme Martial Hall headquarters, the spaceship's intelligent defense system rang with sharp alarms—
"What?!"
Hong, who was cultivating, abruptly opened his eyes.With the cosmic warrior manual Jiang Li had given him, in less than a year, Hong had already broken through to Planetary Level 9. He was only a single step away from reaching the Star Level.
And not just him—Thor's cultivation speed was astonishing too, half a foot already stepping into the Star Level.
As two peerless powerhouses who had risen step by step through the Great Nirvana Era, now that they had the correct path, their explosive leap was only natural.
"Hong-ge!"
As Hong shot into the sky, Thor also flew over from another direction.The six council members stationed in Hongning Base City likewise soared into the air—one of them being Luo Feng!
Alika and Kuromi hovered at about a thousand meters high, looking toward the Blue Star powerhouses rising from the ground. Both of their expressions tightened.
"Is the intel wrong?"
"There are actually two Planetary Level 9s?"
Alika herself was Planetary Level 9, while Kuromi was Star Level 1.
They were both slightly startled.
At the same time—
Hong and Thor, having rushed up into the sky, were equally shaken.The two exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously waved their hands, signaling the other council members not to approach.
"Could they be Star-Level powerhouses?"
"If so… that's trouble!"
Liu He, Zhu Xi, Luo Feng, and the three Guardian Commanders all wore grim expressions.
