"Nine Li clone made some gains!" Inside the black spaceship, Lian Luo could not help but smile.
Killing a Marquis Immortal also added 1 to the blue Blind Box's opening progress.
"As long as I kill another 99 Marquis Immortals, I can open the blue Blind Box. I wonder what it'll contain?" Lian Luo mused silently.
Then, all of a sudden, an urgent distress call came through his communicator.
"Distress call, distress call. We have encountered a demon race Immortal with Early Marquis strength." A plea for help was sent directly to Lian Luo through the military system via the Virtual Universe Network.
"Early Marquis?" Lian Luo's eyes lit up as he checked the details of the distress call.
Along with the call came a battle recording made by the Virtual Universe. One side consisted of three Immortal Army Masters from the human vassal race, the Golden Horn Race. The other consisted of a demon race Marquis Immortal and his two followers.
The Golden Horn Race sounded somewhat similar to the Golden Horned Beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines among Starry Sky Beasts. Yet they were actually rock lifeforms. The three Immortal Gods of the Golden Horn Race all had azure skin and vertical golden markings on their foreheads.
Their opponent was a centipede-shaped demon beast over a hundred kilometers long, with more than a thousand feelers growing from head to tail and countless densely packed eyes on its head. It was a Marquis Immortal from the Thousand-legged Centipede Demon Race, one of the demon race's royal clans!
On the battlefield, this Thousand-Legged Centipede Marquis Immortal was suppressing the peak Army Master among the three Golden Horn Race Immortals. His two alien-race followers were each locked in battle with one of the other two Golden Horn Race Immortal Army Masters.
"It's less than two hundred million kilometers away. I'll go now!" Lian Luo immediately decided to provide support. The black streamlined spaceship accelerated toward the battlefield where help had been requested.
On the battlefield.
"This demon is only slightly stronger than me! But he's a Marquis Immortal and has an undying body. Even if I strike him, I can't damage his divine body at all!" The peak Immortal Army Master of the Golden Horn Race was incomparably frustrated. "But when he hits me, he damages my divine body!"
In terms of strength, an Immortal who had just entered the Marquis rank was only several dozen times stronger than a peak Army Master Immortal. Such a small gap should have made killing each other difficult.
But Marquis Immortals possessed undying bodies. Even attacks from Peak Marquis Immortals could not annihilate the divine bodies of Immortals who had just entered the Marquis rank! Much less attacks from peak Army Masters. Thus, through gradual attrition, a Marquis Immortal could still wear down and kill a peak Army Master Immortal!
This demon race Marquis Immortal was clearly planning to do exactly that!
"I can only call for help. I hope there are powerful experts from the human alliance nearby!" As the peak Army Master of the Golden Horn Race sent out the distress call, he carefully fought the Thousand-Legged Centipede, trying to slow the depletion of his divine body as much as possible while waiting for rescue!
Boom!
All the densely packed eyes on the Thousand-Legged Centipede's head fired green beams. The beams converged and slammed directly into the shield raised by the Golden Horn Race Immortal, blasting him away. Violent force traveled through the shield and struck his body, making his divine body tremble violently.
Yet instead of being alarmed, he was delighted. "An ally from the human side is coming—it's a Marquis Immortal!"
Amid the chaotic battlefield where six Immortals were fighting, a black streamlined spaceship thundered into the area. Then its hatch opened, and Lian Luo, clad in pale golden armor, flew out.
The instant he emerged from the spaceship, his gaze locked onto the enormous Thousand-Legged Centipede, which resembled a small mountain.
"Not bad, not bad. It really is an Early Marquis!" Lian Luo smiled and drew the Blood Shadow Sword.
A terrifying pressure radiated from him. An ancient, strange Fire Beast God phantom spread its wings and enveloped him, then suddenly let out a roar.
"Roar~~~"
The roar seemed to travel through time and space from some distant ancient era of the universe, carrying the tyrannical might to destroy the universe.
"What?" The Thousand-Legged Centipede's countless eyes all turned toward Lian Luo.
A golden figure like a streak of light was already rushing toward it, wrapped within the Fire Beast God phantom.
"Hiss~~"
Unable to spare another attack for the Golden Horn Race Immortal, the Thousand-Legged Centipede hissed. Its countless eyes lit up as terrifying energy gathered, while its pair of dragon-whisker-like antennae swayed rhythmically, seemingly unleashing some peculiar attack!
Boom!
The energy wave, charged to its limit, instantly streaked across the sky and blasted toward Lian Luo within the Fire Beast God phantom. Wherever it passed, layer upon layer of space shattered directly, and fragments of space scattered like broken glass!
Facing such a terrifying attack, Lian Luo still wore a smile. With only a slight flap of the Fire Beast God phantom's wings, he easily evaded it!
In terms of burst speed, the Fire Beast God stood unrivaled throughout the universe!
However, after dodging the energy attack, Lian Luo did not relax. As far as he knew, the Thousand-Legged Centipede, as a demon race royal clan, possessed an innate secret technique—and it directly attacked the soul!
The next moment—
"Buzz~~"
An invisible soul attack instantly descended upon Lian Luo, seeking to directly 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 Immortal. Moreover, after his soul had transformed through the innate secret technique, "Clone," his will had long reached the limit of Immortality. His true body's state of mind had also set foot upon one of the three great paths of heart cultivation: the path of the Pure Heart!
"Roar~~ Break!" The Fire Beast God phantom roared, and the Thousand-Legged Centipede's soul attack shattered and collapsed at once.
By then, Lian Luo was already less than a thousand kilometers from the Thousand-Legged Centipede. At that moment, his divine body abruptly changed, becoming leaner, yet his aura grew even more powerful.
First level of the Star Prison Demonic Body!
"Hiss~~"
Seeing that its soul attack seemed ineffective, the Thousand-Legged Centipede opened its enormous, bloodstained maw and suddenly inhaled. The suction, containing the power of universe laws, directly twisted the surrounding starry sky. The cosmic void completely collapsed, and countless fragments of space were swallowed into its massive mouth. Naturally, that terrifying pulling force also acted upon Lian Luo!
"Using this move against me?" Lian Luo's expression did not change in the slightest, but his speed surged again. His entire body turned into a streak of golden light and shot toward the Thousand-Legged Centipede. Then, he swung his sword!
The blood-red sword light was incomparably sinister and beautiful. Like a knife cutting through butter, it sliced open more than ten thousand kilometers of universe space!
It instantly struck the Thousand-Legged Centipede's gaping maw!
"Crash~~~"
Fear and disbelief filled the Thousand-Legged Centipede's eyes, and then its divine body directly collapsed.
In the distance, the Thousand-Legged Centipede's body reformed. It stared at Lian Luo in shock and fury. "One strike annihilated 4% of my divine body. This human is King Level!"
In truth, Lian Luo's true body only possessed strength that was barely King Level. Without burning his divine body, he could not kill a Marquis Immortal with an undying body.
But once he used the Star Prison Demonic Body, his strength increased another twofold, giving him Early King-level strength. Without needing to burn his divine body, even ordinary attacks were enough to injure an Early Marquis divine body.
Whoosh!
Lian Luo swung his sword again, slashing toward the Thousand-Legged Centipede!
