Chapter 390: Arrival
Inside the secluded realm of the Lord of Heavenly Fate.
Boom!
The binding power within the surrounding space-time suddenly surged violently; Lawrence, Lord Yanxin, and Lord Chiguang now seemed as if seized by an invisible giant hand.
Fortunately, all three were extremely powerful Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, and all wore armor of supreme treasures, so the mere power of a Universe Master controlling a region of space-time was insufficient to directly kill the three of them.
Moreover, since Lawrence and the other two had already ignited their divine power, they could resist for a short while.
"Lord of Black Scales!"
Feeling his divine body constantly deteriorating, Lord Yanxin soon shouted loudly: "The three of us are willing to abandon the opportunity here; please spare our lives!"
Hearing Lord Yanxin's words, Lawrence beside him could not help but frown slightly.
For he had already notified his teacher, the Lord of Wan Jie, of the news here; if they abandoned this opportunity now, it would be a pity too great.
However, Lawrence did not speak out in opposition, for he was uncertain whether Lu Qingshan would arrive in time to save them.
After all, under the Lord of Black Scales' control of a region of space-time, it was certainly impossible for Lu Qingshan to arrive quickly.
By the time Lu Qingshan arrived, they might already have been killed or suppressed by that Lord of Black Scales.
If that Lord of Black Scales were willing to spare them, then even abandoning this rare opportunity for that sake would be well worth it.
But just at this moment...
"Little insects of the Human Race!"
The voice of the Lord of Black Scales soon rang in the ears of the three: "You actually still wish for me to spare you? That is simply dreaming!"
Having said this, the Lord of Black Scales soon flew toward the direction where Lawrence and the others were.
Although he was a Universe Master sitting high above, relying solely on the power of controlling a region of space-time, he could not kill Lawrence and the others, who possessed the strength of Universe Dominators.
Upon hearing the Lord of Black Scales' words, Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang were also quite panicked.
Their two divine bodies were only over ten meters in size, and they wore ordinary supreme treasure armor; under the Lord of Black Scales' control of a region of space-time, they might hold on for a moment, but if the Lord of Black Scales approached and attacked them, a mere casual gesture would suffice to annihilate them.
"Lawrence, Chiguang!"
Lord Yanxin soon transmitted a voice to his two companions, asking: "It seems this Lord of Black Scales does not intend to let us go; what shall we do now?"
"Rest assured, both of you!"
Lawrence soon transmitted a voice to Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang, saying: "I have already told my teacher of the situation here; I believe my teacher will be able to arrive in time!"
"The Lord of Wan Jie?"
"The Lord of Wan Jie is coming?"
After hearing Lawrence's words, hope appeared on the faces of both Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang.
Although Lu Qingshan was a newly ascended Universe Master within the Human Race, they had also heard of how he once suppressed many Universe Masters on the Primordial Star, and even destroyed the avatar of the Snow Sky Palace Master.
So upon hearing that Lu Qingshan was already on his way, they indeed felt much more at ease.
"I wonder if the Lord of Wan Jie can arrive in time?" Lord Yanxin could not help but think silently in his heart.
"Everyone!"
But just at this moment, Lord Chiguang's voice rang again in the minds of Lord Yanxin and Lawrence: "Since the Lord of Wan Jie is about to arrive, we cannot simply sit here and wait for death!"
"Since this Lord of Black Scales does not intend to let us go, why not first find a way to seize the divine body and treasures left behind after the fall of the Lord of Heavenly Fate? If the Lord of Wan Jie fails to arrive by then, we can at least destroy some resources!"
"Good!"
"Let's do it!"
Hearing Lord Chiguang's words, both Lord Yanxin and Lawrence felt a stir in their hearts.
The reason they had just been willing to abandon the struggle for this opportunity was simply that they knew they were no match for the Lord of Black Scales; they had done so out of necessity to preserve their lives.
But now that the Lord of Black Scales had decided not to let them go, they naturally would not be as timid and submissive as before.
Moreover, if they truly managed to seize the treasures and successfully wait for the arrival of Lu Qingshan, the Lord of Wan Jie, for support, then even if they gave the lion's share to Lu Qingshan, their gains this time would still be sufficient.
Thinking thus, Lawrence and the other two soon took action.
One saw them each unleashing their techniques, no longer worrying about any special methods the Lord of Heavenly Fate might have left behind, and began rapidly moving toward the direction of the divine body left after the Lord of Heavenly Fate's fall.
"Truly seeking death!"
Seeing the movements of Lawrence and the others, the Lord of Black Scales could not help but snort coldly, then immediately began slowing down Lawrence and the others by manipulating the space-time of the region.
However, the space-time within the Lord of Heavenly Fate's secluded realm was quite special, and since Lawrence and the others had also deployed a space lock, even a Universe Master could not approach quickly via teleportation.
Therefore, for the Lord of Black Scales to reach them, he could only fly there slowly.
He was quite far from the Lord of Heavenly Fate's divine body; if he did not slow down Lawrence and the others, they might actually manage to reach the vicinity of the Lord of Heavenly Fate's divine body before he arrived.
Of course, even if Lawrence and the others managed to seize the divine body left after the Lord of Heavenly Fate's fall before the Lord of Black Scales, he still possessed sufficient strength to kill them.
Thus, due to the distance issue, both sides became completely locked in a stalemate for a short time.
The Lord of Black Scales was quite far from the corpse of the Lord of Heavenly Fate, yet his speed was not affected in the slightest; he could approach rapidly at sub-light speed (light speed would enter the Dark Universe, after which he could no longer control a region of space-time in the Original Universe);
while Lawrence and the others, although quite close, had to break through the layers of obstacles imposed by the Lord of Black Scales, so their speed was naturally greatly affected, and their divine bodies were also constantly deteriorating.
Thus, as time passed, the divine bodies of Lawrence and the others continued to deteriorate, yet they also grew closer and closer to the divine body of the Lord of Heavenly Fate.
But just as Lawrence and the others were less than a million kilometers from the Lord of Heavenly Fate's divine body and would soon be able to seal it away, they also entered the Lord of Black Scales' attack range.
"Scum of the Human Race, go die!"
Seeing that the attack range was sufficient, the Lord of Black Scales let out a roar from his mouth, then instantly gripped the black spear behind his back.
Whoosh!
Holding the spear with one hand, the Lord of Black Scales merely thrust casually in the direction where Lawrence and the others were.
This seemingly ordinary thrust caused the entire space-time to tremble faintly, clearly indicating it was a secret technique containing the Dao of Space-Time.
Immediately, a black spear light rushed rapidly toward the direction of Lawrence and the others; wherever it passed, the universe space shattered layer by layer as if tofu pierced by steel needles, even forming a visible space-time rift.
This terrifying attack was extremely fast and possessed immense power; even though Lawrence and the others deployed secret techniques to block it, they could not weaken its power much, so ultimately, only Lawrence, with his massive divine body and strongest defense, could stand before Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang.
Boom-boom-boom!
The black spear light struck Lawrence fiercely, instantly annihilating over thirty percent of his divine body; even the remaining power波及ed Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang behind him, each losing ten percent of their total divine body.
"The strength of the Universe Master is simply too great!"
Feeling his own injuries, Lawrence was also extremely shocked in his heart.
He must remember that what he was enduring now was merely a casual attack cast by the Black Scale Master from an extremely distant location.
Yet this single attack alone annihilated over thirty percent of his divine body, and even Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang were affected.
Just then, the Black Scale Master in the distance waved the black long spear in his hand again.
"Not good!"
Seeing the Black Scale Master's action, Lawrence could no longer care about being shocked by the power of the attack.
For him, the most important thing now was to preserve his own life before Lu Qingshan arrived.
"Phantom Limitless Shuttle!"
At Lawrence's thought, a shuttle-shaped supreme treasure instantly appeared before him; it was precisely the flying palace-class supreme treasure Lu Qingshan had rewarded him with back then.
The moment this flying palace-class supreme treasure appeared, it rapidly expanded, instantly surging to over ten thousand kilometers, then flew directly toward Lawrence's location.
Whoosh!
Lawrence immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the Phantom Limitless Shuttle.
At the same time, he quickly transmitted a voice to Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang: "Yanxin, Chiguang, come in quickly!"
"This is..."
"A palace-class supreme treasure!"
Seeing Lawrence produce a flying palace-class supreme treasure, Lord Yanxin and Lord Chiguang were also slightly stunned.
They must remember that flying palace-class supreme treasures were extremely precious; the combined entirety of their two possessions probably could not match the value of a single flying palace-class supreme treasure.
Moreover, before Lawrence had ventured into the Cosmic Secret Realm with them, he had never mentioned possessing a flying palace-class supreme treasure.
