The allied army’s temporary camp.
The Ninth Prince, “Brolin”, looked into the distance at the vast army of Three Axe Mountain as it flew away.
“Your Highness.” A guard beside him hurriedly asked, “Are we still not setting off?”
“Don’t rush.”
Brolin said coldly, “I have my own judgement about everything.”
“Yes.” The guard did not dare to say anything more.
However, Brolin secretly thought to himself, “Are we going to fight or not? Grandfather, give me an order! The various sides have already begun leaving the allied army’s camp one after another. We can start the battle now…”
The vast universe contained everything and was mysterious beyond measure. Among flesh and blood lifeforms, there were countless races such as the human race and beast races. There were also other forms of life, including metal lifeforms, plant lifeforms, energy lifeforms, intelligent lifeforms, and many others. As for dangerous places, so-called white dwarfs and neutron stars were merely the most common and ordinary ones.
There were many other incomparably dangerous regions.
Likewise, there were many mysterious objects known as treasures. Some treasures had extraordinary effects on flesh and blood lifeforms, while others had extraordinary effects on other forms of life.
…
Within this vast universe, there was a star region called the “Black Dragon Mountain Star Region”. During this period, “Canglan Star” within the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region had become the focus of the entire star region, attracting many super experts.
The cities on Canglan Star were mainly divided into ancient cities and new cities.
Many ancient cities had histories of millions of years or even longer. The Universe Mercenary Alliance’s headquarters was located in an ancient city. At the top floor of the tallest building in this ancient city, an 8,600 metre tall skyscraper, there was an enormous hall covering more than a thousand square metres. Yet inside such a vast hall, there were only two large wooden chairs facing each other from a distance.
In front of both chairs were tea tables.
Two people sat on the chairs facing each other.
One side was occupied by a super expert with a handsome face resembling a divine being, his eyes faintly revealing lightning as if they contained the entire world, the World Lord of Three Axe Mountain, “Jiang Tianchen”.
On the other side sat an old man with a bald head, an aquiline nose, and strange twin pupils in his eyes, the World Lord of the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, “Hargrave”.
Among the two, Jiang Tianchen had a “lightning mark” between his brows, while Hargrave had an “ice and snow mark” between his brows. Although neither of them had truly displayed their strength, the entire hall was already faintly affected. One side was influenced by the origin of lightning, while the other was influenced by the origin of ice and snow.
“Jiang Tianchen, I cannot agree to the conditions you proposed!” Hargrave’s voice was hoarse, as if two blades were grinding against each other.
“You will change your mind.” Jiang Tianchen said indifferently.
Both of them were peak World Lords. Within the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, they stood at the very top. The only ones stronger than them were Immortal level existences.
The Ninth Prince, “Brolin”, was precisely Hargrave’s “grandson through his daughter”. It was because of Hargrave’s strength that Ninth Prince Brolin possessed such great authority. After all, the empire’s emperor had many princes, and most of them were destined not to inherit the throne, nor did they possess much privilege.
However, Brolin possessed astonishing influence because of his maternal lineage.
“I can only agree to six of them.” Hargrave’s eyes flashed sharply, as if they could pierce through space. “Jiang Tianchen, if you agree, then everyone will be satisfied.”
“Not a single one of these nine conditions can be omitted.”
Jiang Tianchen shook his head. “If you agree, I will give you the final layer of the password to the inheritance crystal ball.”
A trace of anger was difficult to conceal on Hargrave’s face.
…
At the same time, inside the virtual universe.
“Abu.” The bald, aquiline nosed old man wearing a black and gold robe, Hargrave, instantly appeared inside a palace hall. Brolin was staying there.
“Grandfather.” Brolin’s eyes lit up. “Are we taking action or not? If we delay any longer, we might not be able to catch up.”
“Take action!”
Hargrave shouted coldly. “Attack the forces of Three Axe Mountain. Kill the leading figures and seize their intelligent optical computers. See whether the records of the final password can be found inside their intelligent optical computers.”
The passwords obtained from the Thunder Castle would naturally be recorded in intelligent optical computers, then transmitted into the virtual universe to notify the World Lord Jiang Tianchen.
“Understood!” Brolin’s eyes shone with excitement and madness. “Grandfather, rest assured.”
Hargrave affectionately touched his grandson’s head.
Brolin also appeared very obedient. He clearly understood that the extremely high privileges he possessed among the many princes were all given to him by his grandfather. Even within the royal family, strength was what mattered. Having a World Lord as his grandfather made his status completely different. If any prince could become a World Lord, he could directly sit on the emperor’s throne.
Within the World Within a World, at the allied army’s camp.
“Set off!”
With an order, nearly 150,000 survivors from the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land prepared to move. More than 60,000 of them could completely obey the Ninth Prince.
Following Ninth Prince Brolin’s command, more than 60,000 people rose into the air and quickly left.
The 60,000 plus people flew towards the edge region. After two days of travelling, at midnight, the army rested.
“Your Highness, these are the 2,000 most elite people selected.” A guard respectfully reported.
“Oh?” Brolin looked at the 2,000 person team standing before him.
“Very good.”
Brolin smiled slightly and waved his hand. A disc shaped spacecraft suddenly appeared on the empty ground beside them. Indeed, his spatial ring could just barely store one spacecraft.
“Arrange for them to enter the upper and lower cabins of the spacecraft.” Brolin ordered.
“Yes.”
The eight guards under him immediately began arranging everyone. The interior of the spacecraft was divided into three levels, upper, middle, and lower. Each cabin was more than ten metres high, so many rooms inside had beds arranged in four levels. A room of only a dozen square metres, because of its ten metre height, could accommodate eight people without feeling crowded.
The entire spacecraft could easily accommodate 2,000 people.
“Your Highness, all 2,000 people have been arranged.”
“Set off.”
Brolin was full of confidence. With an order, the spacecraft immediately rose into the air and shot away, rapidly chasing after the Three Axe Mountain army.
…
How could the flying speed of an army compare with the speed of a spacecraft?
Inside the spacecraft’s control room.
Ninth Prince Brolin stood before the control panel, with his eight guards standing behind him.
“Master, the distance to the Three Axe Mountain army is 120,000 kilometres.”
“100,000 kilometres remaining.”
“80,000 kilometres.”
“60,000 kilometres.”
The control panel emitted an electronic voice. “Contact is about to be established. 20,000 kilometres, 10,000 kilometres, 5,000 kilometres. The spacecraft is slowing down…”
“Scan the Three Axe Mountain army and confirm the locations of 12 important targets.” Brolin ordered.
“Yes, Master.”
This D8 level spacecraft had a detection range of a full 200,000 kilometres. It easily detected everyone in the Three Axe Mountain army. The electronic voice continued, “The Three Axe Mountain army has a total of 78,503 people. The 12 important target figures are…”
A huge virtual screen appeared inside the spacecraft.
On the virtual screen appeared the vast army, with 12 glowing points among them. At the same time, 12 portraits appeared on the left side of the screen. Among them were two Universe level experts, several commanders, and unexpectedly, Luo Feng’s portrait.
“Use the three D6 level laser cannons to bombard their army and create chaos. Do not attack these 12 people. All 12 of them possess treasures, and their intelligent optical computers may contain the password. It would be a waste to destroy them.”
“Then arrange 12 people to use laser guns to kill these 12 people one by one.”
“After that, take advantage of the chaos, send down the army, and quickly seize the belongings of these 12 people. Especially their intelligent optical computers.”
Brolin said coldly.
“Yes!”
The eight guards replied respectfully.
Although Brolin had only brought nine C2 level laser guns at the beginning, when the two million strong army entered the World Within a World, he had brought quite a few laser guns with him. Gathering 12 of them now was indeed easy.
“Go!”
Brolin’s voice was suppressed, but excitement could be faintly seen in his eyes.
The vast Three Axe Mountain army flew through the sky. Luo Feng and the other three mixed among the crowd, chatting and laughing, in an excellent mood.
“Third brother, after earning this fortune, we won’t have to worry about money even if we cultivate to the Domain Lord level.” Thunder God laughed.
“Don’t get carried away.” Hong smiled.
However, Luo Feng sent a mental message and shouted, “Everyone, be careful. My detection device has discovered… there should be a large scale detection system scanning us.”
“A large scale detection system?” Hong, Thunder God, and Ao Gu were all shocked.
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded, his expression serious. “Be careful.”
The four of them cautiously became alert, but the entire Three Axe Mountain army was still filled with discussions and laughter.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Three streams of black light instantly appeared like three black holes descending into the Three Axe Mountain army. Luo Feng and the other three only felt that the world had suddenly become silent. There was no sound at all. They only saw the distant impact points violently shake. Several hundred ninth rank Stellar level experts at that location instantly turned into nothingness, while visible shockwaves spread in all directions. Wherever they passed, large numbers of soldiers were killed, with blood flowing out from their battle armour helmets.
The shockwaves were initially silent. After killing everyone within nearly a hundred metres around the impact point, they then produced a thunderous sound, causing many adventurers to cough up blood and suffer serious injuries.
“Rumble…”
Just a single bombardment!
Thousands of people died, partly because the army was relatively concentrated.
“This…” Luo Feng widened his eyes, completely stunned by the terrifying “cannon attack”.
“Puff!”
Luo Feng felt as if someone had struck his head with a heavy blow.
Twelve white beams descended from the sky!
They instantly struck the 12 people within the Three Axe Mountain formation, including the two Universe level experts, the commanders, and Luo Feng!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Twelve white beams!
The twelve people collapsed on the spot!
“Third brother!”
“Luo Feng!”
“Master.”
Hong, Thunder God, and Ao Gu all came to their senses. Luo Feng, who had fallen to the ground, opened his eyes in a daze.
“What is this?” Luo Feng’s mind was still ringing.
“Those were twelve C2 level laser beams just now. The other eleven people from Three Axe Mountain, including the two Universe level first rank experts, were all killed. Only you managed to block it by relying on the Moyun Vine.”
Babata’s voice rang out in Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness.
