The black flying saucer spaceship transformed into a streak of light and quickly broke through the Earth’s atmosphere, entering outer space.
Inside the spaceship’s control room.
Luo Feng stood expressionlessly in front of the control panel screen. Behind him stood his servant powerhouse, “Di Fan”. The alloy battle armour on their bodies reflected its unique lustre under the illumination of the control room lights.
“How long will it take them to arrive?” Luo Feng asked the control panel screen.
The little demon avatar appeared on the screen. “At the speed maintained by that D3-class spaceship, it will take approximately 8 hours and 49 minutes to reach Earth.”
“8 hours and 49 minutes?” Luo Feng smiled. “Then we will go meet them.”
“Understood!”
The entire spaceship immediately entered acceleration mode. Although the spaceship’s acceleration was astonishing, the automatic gravity adjustment system inside the ship maintained the gravity within the spaceship at one unit of Earth’s surface gravity.
The spaceship flew in the direction beyond the Solar System!
Meanwhile, the D3-class spaceship carrying the former patriarch of the Nuolan Shan family, “Dewin”, and the family’s most outstanding disciple, “Bai Kaluo”, was flying towards Earth.
The distance between the two sides rapidly decreased!
……
Inside the streamlined axe-shaped control room of the D3-class spaceship.
“Senior brother, have you informed Teacher?” Bai Kaluo, whose entire body was covered beneath a black robe, asked coldly.
“Yes. The ancestor was very happy to know that we had arrived in the Solar System.” Dewin’s handsome face revealed a faint smile. “The ancestor also said… that he would remain online on the Virtual Universe Network, waiting for our good news.”
“Mm.”
Bai Kaluo nodded.
“Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!”
A sharp alarm sounded inside the control room, causing Dewin’s expression to change slightly.
“Warning, warning. The navigation detection system has discovered a spaceship flying towards us! A spaceship is flying towards us!” The loud and piercing voice echoed throughout the control room.
“What!” Dewin’s expression changed drastically.
“A spaceship?” Bai Kaluo was also shocked.
The universe was simply too vast. With the size of a spaceship, if the distance was too far in space, it would be no different from a speck of dust. Bai Kaluo and Dewin could not possibly discover a hundred metre diameter spaceship approaching them with their naked eyes from tens of millions of kilometres away.
……
Inside the control room of the flying saucer-shaped spaceship, Luo Feng calmly looked at the control panel screen in front of him.
“Activate the orbital cannon,” Luo Feng said.
“Understood!” The little demon Babata on the screen immediately began activation.
At that moment, on the upper front section of the spaceship’s hull, a layer of energy shield covered the surface. Beneath the energy shield, the alloy hull automatically sank inward, revealing a terrifying silver-grey cannon barrel that was a full six metres thick. The cannon slowly extended forward, directly passing through the spaceship’s energy shield.
Beep!
The muzzle of the cannon underwent subtle changes. Deep inside the barrel, a faint light could be seen, while the surrounding space seemed to distort slightly.
“Energy activation. Countdown, 60, 59, 58, 57… 10, 9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1! Activation complete!”
The voice came from the control panel and echoed throughout the control room.
“Babata, seize the opportunity and blast it apart in one strike!” Luo Feng ordered.
“Haha, leave it to me.” The little demon on the screen looked extremely pleased with himself.
Orbital cannon!
This was one of the gifts Luo Feng had prepared for the Nuolan Shan family members. Since he had detected beforehand that their spaceship was a D3-class spaceship, over these two years Luo Feng had spent an enormous amount of wealth, 260 billion Universe Coins, to purchase a D5-class orbital cannon.
A D5-class orbital cannon!
Because any technological weapon that reached C-class was considered an extremely high-level weapon. It was very difficult to purchase through ordinary channels. Furthermore, technological weapons were extremely expensive. Although purchasing such technological weapons through the upcoming auction might have been cheaper, Luo Feng could not wait.
Therefore,
Through the powerful organisation “Qiwuzhai”, Luo Feng spent 260 billion Universe Coins to purchase this D5-class orbital cannon!
A galaxy, such as the Milky Way Galaxy, would already be considered impressive if it could be sold for 260 billion Universe Coins.
From this, it could be seen how much money Luo Feng had spent! This was because Luo Feng had previously made enormous purchases at Qiwuzhai, causing Qiwuzhai to be willing to help him obtain this D5-class orbital cannon. Without those previous huge expenditures, Qiwuzhai would never have helped him acquire such an extremely high-level weapon.
Those huge expenditures…
Were the precious materials Luo Feng had purchased for cultivating “The Original Body of Heaven and Earth”!
The money spent purchasing those materials was far greater than the cost of buying a D5-class orbital cannon!!!
Many Golden Horned Beasts died after only cultivating “The Original Body of Heaven and Earth” to the first layer, showing just how expensive cultivation of this technique was! Golden Horned Beasts were generally World Lord peak existences with three innate talents! Therefore, Luo Feng was able to purchase those materials through the human world. The Golden Horned Beast naturally understood how to create a “human identity” and purchase metals within human society!
With its World Lord peak strength, its wealth was astonishing, yet even then it usually only managed to cultivate the first layer!
Cultivating “The Original Body of Heaven and Earth” allowed the Golden Horned Beast’s body to shrink while rapidly increasing the density of its bones, muscles, and other tissues, causing its strength to soar. Generally speaking, the younger the beast, the easier cultivation would be. It was similar to how a child’s flexibility was easier to train. The stronger the physical body, the greater the difficulty of shrinking it.
Therefore…
For a Universe-level Golden Horned Beast, the cultivation threshold was actually slightly lower. However, even so, the enormous amount of precious materials required to fully cultivate the first layer was still missing two types for Luo Feng.
These materials were truly expensive and extremely rare!
Because Luo Feng had spent so much money purchasing these precious materials at Qiwuzhai, Qiwuzhai naturally placed great importance on such a super customer. That was why they were willing to help him obtain a D5-class orbital cannon!
“Orbital cannon!”
“Fire!”
Babata’s excited shout echoed through the control room.
……
Within the starry sky.
The D3-class spaceship had already detected that the black flying saucer spaceship was continuously approaching.
“It is a C9-class spaceship.” Dewin frowned slightly. “Can we shake it off?”
“Master, we are flying towards Earth, while it is flying from Earth’s direction. No matter how we change direction, they can easily approach us. We cannot shake them off!” The intelligent optical computer’s voice came from the control room screen. “Furthermore, changing our speed also requires a large amount of time.”
Although a spaceship could reach the speed of light, it required a long period of continuous acceleration before finally reaching the ultimate speed of the original universe, the speed of light.
Changing direction, accelerating sideways, or slowing down could not be done instantly.
This allowed the opponent to easily approach!
“If we do not go to Earth, we can shake it off,” the intelligent optical computer said.
“Ignore that spaceship!” Bai Kaluo said coldly. “A C9-class spaceship cannot affect us.”
“This spaceship should belong to Luo Feng’s forces.” Dewin frowned. “Now, they have probably already discovered that we have arrived. The ancestor ordered us to secretly obtain the mechanical clan spaceship.”
“Since we have already been discovered, there is no need to hide anymore.” Bai Kaluo said indifferently. “Continue towards Earth.”
Only a few seconds after Bai Kaluo and Dewin finished arguing.
“Boom!”
An orbital cannon shockwave that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye left a faint spatial ripple in the starry sky before striking the D3-class spaceship at the speed of light. Under completely unprepared circumstances, beneath this light-speed orbital cannon… even the signal transmission speed of the D3-class spaceship’s navigation detection system was only the speed of light!
The moment the D3-class spaceship received the detection signal, the orbital cannon strike had already hit the spaceship!
“Pu!”
The streamlined giant axe-shaped spaceship was instantly torn open from the side by a huge hole, cutting through the entire belly of the spaceship before piercing out from the lower side on the opposite end. This caused the spaceship, which was still maintaining high-speed flight, to instantly break apart. A large amount of alloy wreckage scattered in all directions, adding countless pieces of space debris to this region of the Solar System.
From the section of wreckage containing the control room, two figures quickly flew out.
They floated in space.
They were none other than Dewin and Bai Kaluo.
“How is this possible?” Dewin’s eyes widened.
“After being hit by a cannon, what else is impossible?” Bai Kaluo shouted angrily from within his black robe.
“A long-range weapon exceeding D3-class and travelling at the speed of light, this, this is definitely an extremely high-level weapon. In terms of price, it can rival fifth-order spiritual weapons and force weapons! Even World Lord experts… generally would not be willing to waste money purchasing a D-class orbital cannon with such a low cost-performance ratio!” Dewin shook his head repeatedly, his face filled with disbelief. “How could Earth possess a D-class orbital cannon that even World Lords are unwilling to buy?”
For a World Lord, a D-class orbital cannon was affordable, but they rarely purchased one. This was because a casual strike from a World Lord could already exceed the power of a D-class orbital cannon.
Meanwhile, those without World Lord strength who could afford a D-class orbital cannon were extremely rare!
“This is impossible!” Dewin’s face was full of anxiety.
“Forget about this. Without a spaceship… it will take us more than half a year to fly to Earth!” Bai Kaluo transmitted coldly.
Rumble…
A streak of light rapidly approached from the distance.
“Dewin, the enemy is here!” Bai Kaluo hurriedly transmitted.
“Hm?” Dewin looked up.
He saw a black flying saucer-shaped spaceship rapidly approaching. However, strangely, the spaceship continuously slowed down and finally stopped only a few hundred kilometres away from them. At the same time, the hatch of the spaceship automatically opened, and a figure quickly flew out, rushing towards them.
Several hundred kilometres was a distance that the other party crossed in the blink of an eye!
This was a man wearing black battle armour, with a bald head and thick lips, who looked rather simple and honest.
“So fast.” Dewin was greatly shocked.
“Boom!”
A curved silver blade light tore through space and arrived. Its speed was so fast that Dewin, who was only at Universe-level rank 6, had no time to dodge. His eyes widened in terror.
“Pu!”
His head exploded!
The second-generation patriarch of the Nuolan Shan family, “Dewin Nuolan Shan”, had fallen!
The speed of the silver blade light barely decreased and continued directly towards the black-robed Bai Kaluo.
