Chapter 420: The Saint Thief

As Li Ang finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the main cockpit grew increasingly eerie.

He regarded the middle-aged man across from him, whose forehead was now slick with sweat, a look of keen interest on his face.

Li Ang was certain the man had not noticed him at first, yet after being warned, he suddenly became aware of his presence.

It wasn't hard to guess who had given the warning.

Recalling the inexplicable stream of information captured by the Great Luo Insight, Li Ang's eyes flickered with understanding.

Clearly, after seeing the calamity fail to produce its intended effect, the One World had increased its output.

But what could the leader of the Wu Zheng San Mei possibly accomplish alone?

Merely someone barely reaching the Fifth Tier?

Sensing the complex power system within the man, Li Ang's expression turned momentarily strange.

To be honest, he had never before encountered a transcendent being with a power structure as intricate as his own.

Psionic ability, Qi refinement, alchemy.

And some other power systems he couldn't name.

Unfortunately, without the blessing of a Panel Divine Power, the leader of the Wu Zheng San Mei's internal forces were wildly chaotic, as if ready to erupt in conflict at any moment.

At that moment, the gloomy middle-aged man spoke cautiously: "Are you Li Ang?"

As he spoke, he studied the young man across from him.

The middle-aged man had imagined many scenarios for his first meeting with this immortal, but he had never imagined it would be this eerie.

If not for the warning, he might have thought he'd accidentally wandered onto the set of some interstellar horror film.

A sealed starship, listless passengers—most interstellar horror films were shot this way.

'Such an eerie ability—it's nothing like the immortals described in the records.'

Though the last appearance of an immortal had been centuries ago, both the Da Ai Project and the Wu Zheng San Mei kept detailed records.

And according to those records, the beings called immortals were not like this.

Just as Li Ang was about to speak, Kate beside him suddenly let out a muffled groan, her eyes shifting from vacant to alert.

"My head hurts."

The Da Ai Project member now wore an expression of intense agony, her skull throbbing with needle-like pain.

The sudden turn disrupted the exchange between the two; Li Ang frowned slightly as he watched Kate break free from the Shuang Quan Shou's control.

He had possessed the Shuang Quan Shou for too short a time—he hadn't yet raised its proficiency high enough, or else she would never have escaped.

Of course, One World's influence must have played a part.

'So this is resistance.'

Li Ang now understood what the main universe's warning had meant.

When fortune favors, heaven and earth unite in strength; when fortune departs, even heroes lose their freedom.
