Two Bloom, Accumulating Progress

"The Nine Li clone has made a discovery!" Lian Luo couldn't help but smile inside the black spaceship.

Killing a Marquis-level being also advanced the opening progress of the blue blind box by 1.

"I just need to kill 99 more Marquis-level beings to open the blue blind box. I wonder what will be inside?" Lian Luo mused to himself.

Suddenly, an urgent distress call came through his communicator.

"Mayday, Mayday. We've encountered a Demon Race Immortal, it possesses Early Marquis-level strength." A distress message was directly sent to Lian Luo by the army system through the Virtual Universe Network.

"Early Marquis-level?" Lian Luo's eyes lit up, and he began to examine the specific details of the distress call.

Along with the distress message came a combat video recorded by the Virtual Universe. The battle involved three Immortal Army Masters from the Human Race's vassal race, the 'Golden Horn Race,' on one side, and a Demon Race Marquis and his two followers on the other.

The Golden Horn Race, by name, seemed similar to the 'Golden Horned Beast,' one of the twelve peak bloodlines among Starry Sky Beasts. However, they were actually rock-type lifeforms. The three Immortal Gods of the Golden Horn Race each had green skin and a vertical golden mark between their eyebrows.

Their opponent was a centipede-like demon beast, hundreds of kilometers long, with thousands of tentacles growing from its head to its tail, and densely packed eyes on its head. It was a Marquis Immortal from the Demon Race royal family, the 'Thousand-legged Centipede Demon Race'!

On the battlefield, this Marquis Immortal of the Thousand-legged Centipede Demon Race was suppressing the Peak Army Master among the three Immortals of the Golden Horn Race. His two alien followers were fighting against the other two Golden Horn Race Immortal Army Masters, respectively.

"Less than two hundred million kilometers away. I'll head over now!" Lian Luo decided to provide support without hesitation, and the black, streamlined spaceship accelerated towards the direction of the distress battle.

On the battlefield.

"This demon's strength isn't much stronger than mine! But he's a Marquis and has an immortal body. Even if I hit him, I can't damage his divine body!" The Peak Army Master of the Golden Horn Race felt incredibly frustrated. "But if he hits me, he can damage my divine body!"

In terms of strength, an Immortal who had just entered the Marquis-level was only dozens of times stronger than a Peak Army Master. Such a small gap should make killing difficult.

However, Marquis-level Immortals possessed immortal bodies. Even those who had just entered the Marquis-level couldn't have their divine bodies annihilated by attacks from Peak Marquis-level beings! Let alone Peak Army Masters. Thus, through slow attrition, Marquis-level Immortals could wear down and kill Peak Army Master Immortals!

This Demon Race Marquis Immortal was clearly planning exactly that!

"I can only call for help. I hope there's a strong ally from the Human Alliance nearby!" The Peak Army Master of the Golden Horn Race, while sending out the distress message, cautiously fought against the Thousand-legged Centipede, trying to minimize the damage to his divine body and waiting for rescue!

"Boom!"

All the dense eyes on the Thousand-legged Centipede's head shot out green beams of light. These beams converged and directly struck the shield raised by the Golden Horn Race Immortal, sending him flying. The immense force, transmitted through the shield, violently shook his body.

But instead of alarm, he was overjoyed: "An ally from the Human Race is coming, and it's a Marquis Immortal!"

In the chaotic battlefield where six Immortals were fighting, a black, streamlined spaceship arrived with a roar. Then, the spaceship's hatch opened, and Lian Luo, clad in light golden battle armor, flew out.

The moment he emerged from the spaceship, his gaze locked onto the colossal Thousand-legged Centipede, which was as large as a small mountain.

"Not bad, not bad. Truly Early Marquis-level!" Lian Luo smiled and drew the Blood Shadow Sword.

A terrifying pressure emanated from him. An ancient, strange phantom of the Fire Beast God, its wings spread, enveloped him before letting out a fierce roar.

"Roar~~~"

The roar seemed to pierce through space-time, echoing from some ancient era of the Universe, carrying an overbearing power that could destroy the cosmos.

"What?" The countless eyes of the Thousand-legged Centipede all turned towards Lian Luo.

A golden figure, like a streak of light, was already flying rapidly towards it, enveloped by the Beast God phantom.

"Hiss~~"

Forgetting to attack the Golden Horn Race Immortal, the Thousand-legged Centipede hissed, its numerous eyes lighting up. Terrifying energy began to accumulate, and its dragon-whisker-like tentacles swayed rhythmically, seemingly preparing to unleash a peculiar attack!

"Boom!"

The energy light wave, having reached its peak, instantly streaked across the sky, blasting towards Lian Luo, who was enveloped by the Fire Beast God phantom. Wherever the light wave passed, layers of space shattered, and space fragments scattered and splashed like glass!

Facing such a terrifying attack, Lian Luo's face remained smiling. The Fire Beast God phantom merely fanned its wings slightly, easily dodging the attack!

In terms of explosive speed, the Fire Beast God was unparalleled throughout the Universe!

However, after dodging the energy attack, Lian Luo didn't relax. As far as he knew, the Thousand-legged Centipede, as a royal family of the Demon Race, possessed innate secret techniques, and these techniques were direct soul attacks!

The next second—

"Buzz~~"

An invisible soul attack instantly struck Lian Luo, aiming to annihilate every inch of his divine body!

But Lian Luo's divine body was incredibly powerful, in no way inferior to a High King-level being. Furthermore, his soul, having undergone the transformation of the innate secret technique 'Clone,' had long ago reached the limit of immortality in will. And his true self's state of mind had embarked on one of the three major paths of cultivation, the 'Pure Heart'!

"Roar~~ Break!" The Fire Beast God phantom roared, and the Thousand-legged Centipede's soul attack was directly scattered and disintegrated.

At this moment, Lian Luo was less than a thousand kilometers away from the Thousand-legged Centipede. His divine body suddenly changed, becoming leaner, but his aura grew even more formidable.

The first layer of the Star Prison Demonic Body!

"Hiss~~"

Seeing that the soul attack seemed ineffective, the Thousand-legged Centipede opened its massive maw and began to inhale violently. The suction, imbued with the power of Universal Laws, caused the surrounding cosmic starry sky to distort, the void to completely collapse, and countless space fragments to be swallowed into its maw. This terrifying suction force naturally also acted upon Lian Luo!

"Using this move against me?" Lian Luo's expression remained unchanged, but his speed increased again. He transformed into a golden ray of light and charged towards the Thousand-legged Centipede, then, instantly swung his sword!

The blood-red sword light, incredibly demonic and beautiful, cut through tens of thousands of kilometers of cosmic space as if slicing through butter!

It instantly struck the Thousand-legged Centipede's gaping maw!

"Splash~~"

The Thousand-Legged Centipede's eyes were filled with fear and disbelief before its divine body completely dissipated.

From a distance, the Thousand-Legged Centipede's figure reformed. It stared at Lian Luo in shock and anger, "One strike, and you annihilated 4% of my divine body! This human is King-level!"

In reality, in terms of true strength, Lian Luo's main body was only 'barely King-level'. Without burning his divine body, he couldn't kill a Marquis Immortal who possessed an immortal body.

However, once he used the 'Star Prison Demonic Body', his strength doubled again, reaching Early King-level. Without needing to burn his divine body, his regular attacks were enough to injure the divine body of an Early Marquis.

"Swish!"

Lian Luo swung his sword again, slashing towards the Thousand-Legged Centipede!
