Chapter 1022: Edge of Red Dust

Edge of Red Dust

Gray World.

On the pitch-black earth about a hundred kilometers away from the Red Dust Domain, a figure draped in a British Overcoat seemingly collapsed the void and silently appeared in the wasteland.

The Silver King stood with his hands in his pockets, his gaze casually sweeping across the surroundings, his deep blue pupils emitting a mysterious faint light.

Ultimately, his gaze locked onto a certain spot in the nothingness.

"Is it here..."

That was an empty area.

As far as the naked eye could see, no matter existed. Only when sunlight occasionally swept across the earth could one faintly see the tiny dust floating in the air.

If someone could make their naked eye surpass an electron microscope, they would be able to see that between the dust, deep within particles even more minuscule than electrons, a Mercury Moon wrapped around three Philosopher's Stones was silently rotating.

"Theft of Objects."

However, when the Silver King grabbed out with his hand, he couldn't catch anything, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Su Zhiwei had hidden the Lord of Wuji's power too deeply. Even the Silver King, who could steal space and matter, couldn't easily extract it. But the Silver King didn't give up. Instead, he patiently grabbed toward the nothingness time and time again.

Once, twice, three times... ten times... twenty times...

Who knew how long had passed, the Silver King finally seemed to grab onto something, and a white light abruptly flashed before his body!

A massive shadow enveloped the earth of the Gray World. The Silver King slowly raised his head and saw a surging silver moon silently hovering above the Gray World... If one looked closely, they could see three thumb-sized crimson stones floating up and down within it.

The corner of the Silver King's mouth slightly curled up.

...

Red Dust Domain, Nameless Courtyard.

Bright red maple leaves rustled in the breeze, slowly drifting toward the earth. Among the courtyard piled with fallen leaves, a woman wearing a white training suit abruptly opened her eyes!!

Rumble——!!

A muffled sound of thunder instantly cut across the sky. Su Zhiwei's gaze was like lightning as she instantly looked toward the direction where the Lord of Wuji was hidden.

"Thief Path Demigod... courting death!"

...

Swoosh——

Almost at the instant the Mercury Moon appeared, a terrifying and dazzling javelin capable of destroying the world pierced through the thick clouds, shooting across the sky at a speed the naked eye simply couldn't capture!

Its speed was too fast, and the aura of destruction contained within it was no less than that of a high-yield nuclear weapon. By the time the Silver King turned his head, that javelin had already arrived before his pupils at a speed akin to teleportation!

Boom——!!!

A scorching, dazzling explosion erupted from the black earth. Accompanied by tremors and buzzing that swept across the entire Realm, a mushroom cloud slowly rose...

Hurricanes surged on the barren earth, blowing the Silver King's British Overcoat until it fluttered wildly.

At this time, he wasn't at the center of the explosion. In the instant Su Zhiwei's javelin was about to touch him, it had already been transferred hundreds of kilometers away by him.

"Lord of the Red Dust, Su Zhiwei..." The Silver King spoke leisurely,

"Just as rumors say, your Combat Power is astonishing... It's just that the current you probably cannot easily step out of the Red Dust Domain?"

Above the firmament at the edge of the Red Dust Domain, a beautiful figure hovered silently. Those sharp eyes gazed at the Silver King far away and the Mercury Moon above him, killing intent silently drifting out...

This was Su Zhiwei's first time exchanging blows with the Silver King. Although it was only for an instant, she could sense that the other party was a rather terrifying opponent.

The Silver King held all the Paths of the Path of the Thief. Even among the Nine Monarchs, perhaps only a very few would be confident in defeating him.

"You can leave, but leave him behind." Su Zhiwei's voice pierced through the Gray World and fell into the Silver King's ears.

"I'm truly sorry... madam." The Silver King shook his head regretfully. "He is an extremely crucial part of my plan, and he cannot stay here... If you want to try and keep us using brute force, how about you step out of the Red Dust first?"

Standing at the edge of the Red Dust Domain, Su Zhiwei glanced back at the city being rebuilt behind her, her fists clenching tightly.

"Is that so?" Su Zhiwei said coldly,

"Then you'd better be able to protect him the whole time... Once I step out of the Red Dust, I will kill him again."

"Then you'd best move a bit faster too, otherwise... it will be too late for everything."

The Silver King gave Su Zhiwei a smile. The next moment, he disappeared from his spot along with that Mercury Moon.

Su Zhiwei knew that she couldn't make the other party stay without leaving the Red Dust Domain. She merely cast a gloomy look in the direction he left, then vanished back into the Red Dust Domain.

Passing through the city, Su Zhiwei arrived at the Red Dust base hidden in Sumeru space. Looking at the several communication personnel, she spoke slowly:

"Connect me to the other Realms..."

...

Church.

Lou Yu, who was like a sculpture on the bench, seemed to sense something and slightly raised his head to look behind him.

"... Your movements are slower than I imagined." Lou Yu looked at the Silver King, who had appeared at the door at some point, and the Mercury Moon hovering in the nothingness, and spoke calmly.

"Su Zhiwei's abilities are very thorny. Even I couldn't easily steal you out."

The Silver King sat casually on the bench. He conjured a red wine glass from somewhere and shook it gently. The deep red liquid swirled against the wall of the glass, and was finally downed by him in one gulp.

During this process, Lou Yu slowly stood up and walked straight to the Mercury Moon...

He raised his hand and placed it upon it.

The instant his palm came into contact with the Mercury Moon, the latter seemed to have found its home and was frantically sucked into Lou Yu's body!

Lou Yu was like a balloon, expanding visibly to the naked eye, even almost crushing this room. As faint lights flickered within his body, his body gradually shrank again, slowly returning to the size of a normal person.

A liquid-like substance surged within his body. Three flickering Philosopher's Stones squirmed from his arm to his shoulder, and then slowly climbed up his cheek... Finally, they formed four corners with the original Philosopher's Stone at the center of Lou Yu's forehead.

A tyrannical sense of oppression erupted from within Lou Yu's body!

Under the blessing of four Philosopher's Stones, Lou Yu's strength even surpassed when he invaded the Red Dust Domain. As a frost-like airflow flowed from the corner of his mouth, his entire person's aura became profound and terrifying.

The current him was completely different from the weak Rank 9 he was before when he only had one Philosopher's Stone!

"How many Philosopher's Stones are you lacking to reach your complete form?" The Silver King glanced at Lou Yu, whose aura had undergone an earth-shattering change, and asked faintly.

"... Two." Lou Yu was silent for a moment. "With two more Philosopher's Stones, I will be immortal and indestructible, achieving Limitless Immortality."

"The population of the Wuji Domain right now is no longer enough for two Philosopher's Stones... However..."

The Silver King lightly snapped his fingers,

"I still have a gift."
