Chapter 169: Annihilating the Hei Fengwang High Level

That was a short figure, barely over a meter tall, hunched over, covered entirely in black scales, with a pair of emerald-green eyes.

"The Demon Snail Monkey lineage of the Demon Race camp, the 'Heavenly Snail King'!" Lu Qingshan quickly found the opponent's information from the many records he had previously consulted.

The Demon Snail Monkey was a member of the peak-race Demon Races; although not a member of the Imperial or Royal families, the Demon Snail Monkey lineage possessed two Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, so its status within the Demon Races was not low.

However, the Demon Snail Monkey lineage had a relatively short stature, and their life-gene level was merely equivalent to ordinary life in the universe, so when fighting opponents of the same level, they did not enjoy the advantages that those Demon Race members with massive bodies possessed.

Of course, races within the Demon Races with high life-gene levels and divine bodies exceeding a thousand meters were also quite rare, and their reproductive capabilities were very low; in terms of numbers, they were far inferior to ordinary races like the Demon Snail Monkey.

"According to relevant information collected by our Human Race camp, this Heavenly Snail King's strength should rank within the top twenty among the Demon Snail Monkey lineage of the Demon Races!"

The Heavenly Snail King was a Hei Fengwang Immortal of the Demon Race's own clan; naturally, the Human Race camp would collect more detailed information when gathering data.

Lu Qingshan looked at the detailed information regarding the Heavenly Snail King: "According to the records, this Heavenly Snail King should have reached the nineteenth layer of the Bridge to Heaven in his comprehension of laws, and has cultivated the Amplification Secret Technique; however, he does not seem very skilled in soul defense!"

"Over a million years ago, he fled in panic when facing a Hei Fengwang Peak Soul Master; I suppose the opponent was already able to pose a huge threat to this Heavenly Snail King!"

"My current soul attack should surpass that of the Hei Fengwang Peak Soul Master I encountered back then!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently to himself: "Once I burn my Immortal Divine Power, there should be a chance to annihilate him!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately boarded a starship and rushed rapidly toward the direction where the Heavenly Snail King was located.

In a void within the Five Lotus Domain, the hunched Heavenly Snail King had just finished a battle.

"Although these Red Dark Clan lives look somewhat harmless, once they explode, they are still terrifying!"

While collecting the many spoils of war scattered by the enemies' self-destruction, the Heavenly Snail King sighed silently: "Fortunately, the leader of this Red Dark Clan expert squad was only at the Hei Fenghou Initial level; even after activating special innate secret techniques to explode, they could only unleash strength at the Hei Fenghou High level for a short time; it is still very simple for me to annihilate them!"

The Red Dark Clan was a type of energy-based life; however, unlike the 'Demon Slaughter Clan' which had no soul and could change at will, the Red Dark Clan possessed a fixed body structure and even had a soul!

Yet even so, the Red Dark Clan was one of the powerful races in the universe; their status among energy-based lives was in no way inferior to powerful races like the 'Demon Slaughter Clan'!

"Hahaha, this harvest probably exceeds ten million Shield Zhu!"

After collecting all the spoils of war, a smile inevitably appeared on the Heavenly Snail King's face: "It seems this Red Dark Clan squad must have roamed the Outer Battlefield for quite some time; unfortunately, in the end, they fell into my hands!"

"Alright, the spoils of war collection is complete; it is time to return to the temporary residence to rest for a while!"

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Snail King quickly waved his hand to produce an ordinary Class E biological starship, then rapidly entered the interior of the starship.

His divine body was not large, so naturally, he did not need to hide inside a World Ring while riding a starship like those Demon Race experts with massive divine bodies, and then split off a trace of consciousness to control a puppet body.

Whoosh!

The starship rapidly broke through the void and soon accelerated to sub-light speed, then continued flying within the Five Lotus Domain.

Meanwhile, thirty million kilometers away from the starship the Heavenly Snail King was riding, Lu Qingshan saw via a detector that the Heavenly Snail King had begun to rapidly leave the battlefield on a starship, and felt no worry whatsoever in his heart.

After all, this was extremely common on the Outer Battlefield; basically, except for temporary residences for rest, very few experts would stay in the same location for too long, let alone in combat zones.

But within this Five Lotus Domain, the maximum speed could only reach sub-light speed; as long as the opponent did not discover his tracks, he could approach by constantly adjusting his angle; spending a bit more time would always allow him to catch up.

Just like that, Lu Qingshan constantly adjusted his starship's pursuit angle according to the direction the Heavenly Snail King's starship was moving forward, and finally, after more than three hours, closed in to within a range of less than one hundred thousand kilometers of the opponent.

Whoosh!

The starship cabin door opened; Lu Qingshan instantly activated his movement technique to pursue, and after approaching within a range of ten thousand kilometers of the opponent, a Divine Power attack immediately surged rapidly toward the starship the Heavenly Snail King was riding.

Boom!

Lu Qingshan's Divine Power directly blasted the starship the Heavenly Snail King was riding; immediately, the starship instantly exploded, revealing the figure of the Heavenly Snail King.

"Enemy attack!"

The Heavenly Snail King floated in the void, looking toward the direction the Divine Power surge came from; he saw a figure clad in purple-gold battle armor rapidly rushing to kill him; it was Lu Qingshan.

"It is the Spirit Sword King of the Human Race camp!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan's figure, the Heavenly Snail King felt not fear but joy.

Because the Demon Race camp had long issued an order: once the tracks of the Human Race camp's Spirit Sword King were discovered, it must be reported immediately.

As long as he reported the news of the Spirit Sword King and dragged things out until Demon Race experts arrived, he would absolutely be able to obtain a portion of the reward.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Snail King immediately used the communicator inside his World Ring to begin transmitting the news of the Spirit Sword King.

"I am in the Five Lotus Domain; my coordinates are..."

"I have discovered the tracks of the Spirit Sword King of the Human Race camp; please proceed with all haste!"

As soon as this message was sent, it rapidly transmitted toward the Demon Race camp's intelligence system on the Outer Battlefield.

Although the Demon Race camp's intelligence system was the worst among the four camps on the Outer Battlefield, a Hei Fengwang Immortal already possessed extremely high permissions within the intelligence system; without needing to verify the authenticity of the message, the transmission speed was still very fast.

After sending the message out, the Heavenly Snail King then looked at Lu Qingshan, who was rapidly flying toward him: "Spirit Sword King, you..."

"Demon Race scum, receive death!"

Before the Heavenly Snail King could finish speaking, Lu Qingshan roared in anger, and immediately a wisp of ethereal Immortal Divine Power began to permeate.

Buzz!

The formless and weightless ethereal Divine Power instantly permeated toward the Heavenly Snail King, quickly transforming into countless ethereal small swords within his body, attempting to directly shatter the Heavenly Snail King's soul.

And within the Heavenly Snail King's body, a miniature Demon Snail Monkey phantom was roaring in fury.

That was a soul defense secret technique created by a Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of the Demon Snail Monkey lineage, possessing immense power.

And outside, the Heavenly Snail King's divine body suddenly stiffened; subsequently, his will roared wildly, finally blocking Lu Qingshan's soul attack, but by this time, the miniature Demon Snail Monkey phantom within his body was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

"How did the Spirit Sword King's soul bombardment suddenly become so much stronger?"

Although the Heavenly Snail King blocked Lu Qingshan's soul attack, he was still filled with lingering fear in his heart: "Did the data collected by the clan not say that he needed to burn Immortal Divine Power just to kill a Hei Fenghou Initial? How has he suddenly become so powerful now? Could it be that he has broken through again?"

But just as various thoughts flashed through the Heavenly Snail King's mind...

Boom!

Lu Qingshan, not far away, had already ignited his Immortal Divine Power, and subsequently released another surge of ethereal Immortal Divine Power that permeated into the Heavenly Snail King's body.

And upon seeing Lu Qingshan ignite his Immortal Divine Power, the Heavenly Snail King also, at the critical moment, ignited his own Immortal Divine Power, and even began to do his utmost to protect his soul.

Because he knew clearly in his heart that when Lu Qingshan was in the state of burning Divine Power, the power of his soul attack would absolutely become incomparably terrifying.

And after he ignited his Immortal Divine Power, although he would similarly increase the power of his soul defense, he might not be able to block the opponent's soul attack as he had before.

Therefore, he could only exert every ounce of strength to resist desperately; otherwise, once he took a hit, even if other powerhouses from the Meng Yao Zu camp arrived, there would be no way to save him.

And just at this moment, Lu Qingshan's Void Incarnation Immortal Divine Power surged once more into Tian Luo Wang's body.

Those seemingly solidified illusory small swords actually gathered within his body to form a giant sword phantom, which then slashed directly at the frantically roaring mini Mo Luo Hou phantom inside him.

Puchi!

Under the assault of this terrifying giant sword, the mini Mo Luo Hou phantom was instantly cleaved in two.

Tian Luo Wang tried to control the Mo Luo Hou phantom to reassemble, but under the might of that terrifying giant sword, the bisected Mo Luo Hou phantom instead cracked inch by inch, and ultimately shattered completely.

And that illusory giant sword once again transformed into countless illusory small swords, which then slashed together at the souls within every fragment of Tian Luo Wang's divine power.

"Break! Break! Break!"

At this moment, Tian Luo Wang's will and consciousness were both roaring madly!

Although his body had frozen in place under the influence of Lu Qingshan's soul attack, his will remained lucid.

"Can't block it! I can't block it anymore!"

Seeing his soul defense secret art broken, Tian Luo Wang could not help but feel a trace of despair in his heart: "If you want me dead, you die too!"

"Break open for me!"

Tian Luo Wang's will was roaring; knowing he could not withstand Lu Qingshan's soul attack, he only wanted to exert every ounce of strength to self-detonate and inflict the greatest damage on Lu Qingshan.

But unfortunately, under the influence of Lu Qingshan's soul attack, he could not even execute his amplification secret art, and in the end could only detonate every fragment of his divine power.

The divine power accumulated over endless years by a Hei Fengwang high-tier Immortal Divine Spirit completely exploded at this moment; that shockwave almost instantly reached its peak, capable of easily slaying a Hei Fengwang low-tier and heavily wounding a Hei Fengwang high-tier!

How terrifying was the might of a Hei Fengwang high-tier powerhouse's self-detonation? One could say that within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers around, everything was enveloped by the most powerful explosive force.

And Lu Qingshan, in order to maintain the strongest might of his soul attack, had already closed the distance to within a thousand kilometers of Tian Luo Wang.

Boom boom boom!!

The surrounding void was all shattered, and numerous spatial fragment torrents were reduced to the most basic particle streams under this terrifying attack.

And the only thing Lu Qingshan could do now was to withstand this explosion!

To be honest, if Lu Qingshan were merely an ordinary Hei Fengwang low-tier Immortal Divine Spirit, he would probably have died beyond any hope of recovery long ago in such a terrifying explosion.

But first, the armor he wore was a precious battle armor that only many Hei Fengwang peak powerhouses could be equipped with; second, his own life gene level was extremely high, and he had even cultivated a body-type amplification secret art, which made his defense fully comparable to that of a Hei Fengwang peak powerhouse!

Hoo!

The incomparably terrifying shockwave, after being weakened by the armor and battle garment, swiftly swept past Lu Qingshan's divine body, instantly shattering it completely.

Of course, although Lu Qingshan's divine body had been blasted to pieces, because the shockwave's might had already dissipated, it had not caused him to lose much of his Immortal Divine Body.

"Adding the loss from burning Immortal Divine Power earlier, the divine body only lost two percent — not bad at all!"

Once the blast's aftershocks faded, Lu Qingshan waved his hand to collect the many spoils scattered throughout the surrounding void, while secretly rejoicing in his heart: "Good thing that Tian Luo Wang was affected by my soul attack and didn't execute his amplification secret art before self-detonating!"

One must know that Tian Luo Wang, as a Hei Fengwang Immortal of the Meng Yao Zu, had naturally also cultivated amplification secret arts.

Once the opponent executed an amplification secret art to empower himself before self-detonating, that might would absolutely be comparable to a Hei Fengwang peak powerhouse's self-detonation, and at that time, even with Lu Qingshan's astonishing defense, he would at least have suffered severe injuries!

……

While Lu Qingshan and Tian Luo Wang were fighting……

In a certain void within the Five Lotus Domain, a rock giant over a thousand meters tall was tormenting an alien powerhouse with two pairs of wings on his back.

That alien powerhouse had two pairs of wings on his back, clearly extremely skilled in movement techniques, but no matter how he shifted his form, he simply could not evade the rock giant's attacks.

"Shi Jia Wang!"

The alien powerhouse with two pairs of wings on his back roared furiously: "Don't get too arrogant! I've already invited other powerhouses from my Mechanical Race camp; they should be arriving soon!"

"Hahaha!"

The burly Shi Jia Wang, hearing these words, immediately laughed coldly: "Qing Feng Wang, I want to see what powerhouse could possibly come to save you? In this Five Lotus Domain, apart from a few powerhouses, no one can save you at all!"

"Running into me can only be your bad luck. Just obediently self-detonate; that way you'll still have a chance of being revived through reversed time and space. If I beat you into slumber, then you'll never have another chance! Hahaha……"

"Damn you, Shi Jia Wang!"

Qing Feng Wang, feeling his continuously weakening divine body, finally let out a furious roar: "I will definitely come back for revenge!"

Boom boom boom!

Before his words had even faded, Qing Feng Wang instantly self-detonated the divine body he had accumulated over endless years.

The terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, yet it had absolutely no effect on the burly Shi Jia Wang!

"What a pity!"

Shi Jia Wang leisurely gathered the spoils scattered throughout the surrounding void, while unable to help sighing: "With my strength, killing these Hei Fengwang low-tier Immortal Divine Spirits is simply a trivial matter!"

"Moreover, I possess the ability of teleportation, allowing me to rush swiftly to one battlefield after another!"

"But the pity is, unless special circumstances arise, I cannot wantonly slaughter these Hei Fengwang Immortals, otherwise I will definitely be targeted by super powerhouses from other camps!"

Speaking of this, Shi Jia Wang could not help but recall the mission the Meng Yao Zu camp's higher-ups had previously assigned him — to kill the Spirit Sword King of the Human Race camp.

"Even that Spirit Sword King of the Human Race camp, after slaughtering more than a dozen Hei Fengwang Immortals, was targeted by the Meng Yao Zu camp, let alone me!"

Shi Jia Wang thought to himself: "Enough. After killing that Spirit Sword King, I'll head to the 'Sea of the Dead' where the most powerhouses gather to adventure. There are more opportunities there, and the restrictions on Hei Fengwang limit powerhouses are also somewhat looser!"

One must know that the Extraterrestrial Battlefield had already existed for an immensely long time, so naturally there were some unspoken rules in place.

For example, powerhouses cannot wantonly slaughter the weak, and so on……

Otherwise, those powerhouses approaching the Hei Fengwang Invincible level could completely keep killing Hei Fengwang peak, or even Hei Fengwang limit powerhouses to accumulate vast wealth;

And Hei Fengwang peak powerhouses could also wantonly slaughter Immortal Army Masters and Hei Fengwang Marquis Immortals to accumulate wealth;

But if it were like this, the Extraterrestrial Battlefield would become a thorough slaughterhouse, and the tempering effect it could have on powerhouses would naturally be negligible!

Precisely because of this, under normal circumstances, it was rare for powerhouses to wantonly slaughter on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Take Shi Jia Wang for example — although he clearly possessed the strength to easily slay Hei Fengwang low-tier Immortals, he still needed to wait a long interval before he could kill another Hei Fengwang Immortal, otherwise he would definitely be targeted by powerhouses from other camps.

Of course, if some special circumstances arose — for instance, scenes where important opportunities or precious treasures emerged — naturally a bloody storm would be stirred up.

And this time, the mission the Meng Yao Zu camp's higher-ups had assigned him to kill the Spirit Sword King naturally fell under special circumstances.

Moreover, in order to kill that Lingjian Wang, the Meng Yao Zu had also put out some precious resources, so even though Shi Jia Wang knew the human faction was not easy to provoke, and knew that after killing that Lingjian Wang he was very likely to be retaliated against by the teachers behind him, he still chose to accept this mission.

After all, having only been born from an ordinary tribe, if he wanted to obtain a precious opportunity, he could only fight desperately!

Just like the inheritance from the Mo Tian Divine General that he had previously accepted — that was earned only after years of desperate fighting on the extraterritorial battlefield and making numerous contributions to the Meng Yao Zu!

"I wonder when the Meng Yao Zu's intelligence system will finally be able to discover that Lingjian Wang of the human faction!"

Having finished collecting the many spoils of war, Shi Jia Wang did not leave the battlefield at all; instead, he directly picked a relatively large meteorite in the surrounding void and made that place his temporary residence.

After all, he was already on the stronger side even among Hei Fengwang limit-tier powerhouses, so even if his coordinates were exposed, no one in this Wu Lian Domain would dare come looking for trouble with him.

And just at this moment…

Shi Jia Wang, who had just closed his eyes and was preparing to rest for a while, suddenly snapped them open, while simultaneously shooting out streaks of sharp light.

"Hahaha, that Lingjian Wang of the human faction has finally appeared!"

"Once I finish this job, the accumulated military merits will be enough to exchange for that precious Water Source Fruit!"

Whoosh!

The thought flashed through Shi Jia Wang's mind, and in an instant he teleported straight toward the coordinates that the Meng Yao Zu intelligence system had transmitted to him.
