"Run!"
The instant the World Lord Zerg Kings launched their attack, the flames burning around the Nine Li clone exploded violently, propelling him away from the point where the million World Lord Zerg Kings' energy had converged.
It seemed as though a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only an instant. The tiny point of light suddenly erupted!
"Rumble~~~"
Heaven and earth roared. The silent world instantly became deafening as a massive void was torn open across a range of tens of millions of kilometers, throwing the torrents formed by countless space fragments into chaos.
The terrifying collapse of universe space also reached the Nine Li clone.
At that moment, the Nine Li clone was only several hundred thousand kilometers from the center of the explosion. He swung his battle blade frantically, unleashing attacks to weaken the blast's force while borrowing the recoil to rapidly retreat from the explosion's core.
"Pfft!"
Though the point of light had exploded several hundred thousand kilometers away, wave after wave of explosive shockwaves still made the Nine Li clone cough up blood.
"What a terrifying attack! Even from this far away, I was still injured!" The Nine Li clone's expression darkened. "My divine body lost 6%! Good thing I wasn't hit head-on. Otherwise, I would definitely have fallen!"
"Leave!"
The Nine Li clone had no intention of seeking revenge. Instead, he accelerated away. Though the combined attack of a million World Lord Zerg Kings was terrifying, they themselves were extremely fragile. Once their strike was over, that female King-level Immortal God would definitely put them away! Even if he wanted revenge, he would have no one to take it out on!
As for that female King Level, he simply could not damage her divine body!
"I'm leaving the eye of this vortex now!" The Nine Li clone made his decision without hesitation. "I won't compete for the Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water. I've offended so many King Levels. If they join forces to attack me later, I'll be finished!"
But when he looked at the blue Blind Box opening progress bar in his mind, a smug smile appeared on his face. "In less than half a day, I killed 21 High Marquis and 62 Early Marquis! Adding the ones I killed over the previous five thousand years, the progress for opening the Blind Box is full!"
Progress: 104/100. (Can be opened!)
"It can be opened..." Just as the Nine Li clone was about to open the blue Blind Box, he suddenly looked up in surprise at the Star River riot, which seemed to be settling down.
To collect the treasures flung out from within the Star River vortex, both King Levels and Marquises had remained near the outer edge of the vortex's eye. Naturally, the Nine Li clone was no exception. Thus, the combined strike of the million World Lord Zerg Kings had exploded at the edge of the vortex's eye, near the region of the Star River Heavy Water!
The terrifying force of that explosion caused the vortex, which had originally been about to calm down, to roar madly once more.
Then, a blood-colored battle boot, a thousand meters high and covered in dense, ancient patterns like a miniature mountain, slowly flew out of the surging Star River.
The instant the Blood-Colored Battle Boots emerged—
"Buzzz~~"
Universe space throughout a hundred million kilometers around the vortex's eye trembled. An ancient, domineering, powerful aura instantly filled the entire region. Nearly a hundred King Levels and countless Marquises waiting in this area to compete for the exotic treasure, the Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water, all sensed that aura.
"What a powerful aura!"
"Could this be... a supreme treasure?"
King-level Immortals held lofty status even within the peak races.
Although most of the nearly hundred King Levels at the vortex's eye were Early King-level, with only a small number of High King-level, they might not have the qualifications to possess a supreme treasure, but every one of them knew of treasures at that level!
This Star River riot had actually unearthed a supreme treasure buried within the Purple Splendor Star River for who knew how many ages!
A supreme treasure had emerged!
This was a supreme treasure!
Even an Early King-level could immediately become a super expert among King-level Immortals upon obtaining a supreme treasure!
In an instant, every King Level and Marquis within the vortex's eye went mad!
"Go seize the supreme treasure!"
All the King Levels no longer cared about the Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water that was about to be born. They charged frantically toward the place where the Blood-Colored Battle Boots had emerged!
Those Marquises who knew they had no hope of obtaining the supreme treasure also hurriedly contacted the King Levels of their respective races!
The vortex's eye had gathered only a small portion of the King Levels battling within the Purple Splendor Star River. Many King Levels in other regions had yet to arrive.
There were even more King Levels across the entire Ninth Battlefield!
After all, the Purple Splendor Star River was not the highest-level battle region. Places like Burning Separation Space-time were where the most King Levels could be found!
Of course, even if those Early King-level and High King-level received the news, they could only sigh helplessly. The distance was too great; by the time they arrived, it would all be over!
But peak King-level experts who had comprehended teleportation could reach the Purple Splendor Star River in an extremely short time to fight over this newly emerged supreme treasure!
With a single teleportation, peak King-level experts who had comprehended teleportation could cross a distance of more than a light-year. Even if they were far away in Burning Separation Space-time, they could reach the Purple Splendor Star River after teleporting a few more times once they received the news!
The difficult part was receiving the news in the first place!
Among the Four Great Peak Races, the Human race had the Virtual Universe, while the Mechanical Race possessed the most advanced technology and the fastest, most convenient communications in the Outer Domain Battlefield. The Zerg and demon races, however, had far inferior communication systems, and their information traveled the slowest!
Thus, the King Levels of the Human race were the first to learn that a supreme treasure had emerged in the Purple Splendor Star River. The Mechanical Race King Levels received the news a dozen or so seconds later, while the demon race and Zerg King Levels received it last!
"Haha... A supreme treasure actually emerged in the Purple Splendor Star River. I'll go take a look!" A burly ape-man wearing golden battle armor laughed loudly.
"A supreme treasure is mine!" The tall Silver Armored Dragon Person wore an excited expression!
"A supreme treasure! If I seize it and offer it to my master, I'll surely gain my master's favor!" The powerful Mechanical Race expert, whose entire body resembled a metal block, spoke excitedly!
Large numbers of peak King-level and King-level Limit experts from the Human race, the Mechanical Race, the demon race, and the Zerg race—all of whom had comprehended teleportation—rushed toward the Purple Splendor Star River.
Of course, the strongest among them were only King-level Limit experts. Very few people could contact the handful of King-level Invincible experts fighting on the Ninth Battlefield, so they had not yet received news of the supreme treasure's emergence!
Moreover, due to the existence of the Virtual Universe, the Human race's experts were destined to arrive first, followed by the Mechanical Race, the demon race, and then the Zerg race!
The instant the Blood-Colored Battle Boots flew out of the Star River, the Nine Li clone shot forward at once!
No matter how many experts came to fight for the Blood-Colored Battle Boots, he was currently the closest to the supreme treasure!
"Whoosh!"
A black streak flashed across the sky as the Nine Li clone pushed his speed to the limit. Behind him, the female alien King Level clad in azure armor also flew over.
However, more than a million kilometers separated her from the Nine Li clone. She had no time to stop him from obtaining the treasure!
As for the other King Levels, they were even farther away.
Because the Star River riot was about to settle and the Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water was about to be born, many of the King Levels originally in this area had gone to the core of the vortex's eye to prepare to fight for the Crystal Soul Nine-Colored Water.
Now, aside from the Nine Li clone and a few others, this place could be said to be completely empty!
