Huan Yu

Looking at the blood-red figure wrapped in flames on the detector, it was about to rush out of the Heavy Water Star Belt.

King Huan Yu, who was relentlessly pursuing the Nine Li clone, revealed a puzzled look in her eyes. "How does this human dare burn his divine body for so long? Isn't he afraid of exhausting too much of it and falling into slumber?"

Though anxious, the Nine Li clone had been continuously burning his divine body, so she did not dare slow down. The moment she did, he would surely vanish beyond sight!

"Not good, he's about to leave the Heavy Water Star Belt! Once he gets out, with the speed he gained from crazily burning his divine body, he can easily reach light speed and enter the Dark Universe. Without restrictions in the Dark Universe, his speed could probably soar past a hundred times light speed!" King Huan Yu could not help growing anxious.

Even a slightly better F-class spaceship could reach over fifty times light speed. The Nine Li clone already excelled at speed, and now that he was burning his divine body like mad, he was far faster than an F-class spaceship!

Moreover, there were no spatial fluctuations in the Dark Universe. Even peak King-level experts who had comprehended teleportation could not teleport into it!

The only way to enter the Dark Universe was... to accelerate, accelerating all the way to light speed. Then one would naturally enter the Dark Universe.

Once the Nine Li clone entered the Dark Universe, those peak King-level experts could only pursue him by entering the Dark Universe themselves and relying on speed, or by attacking him and reducing his speed below light speed so that he returned to the original Universe.

"Stop him from entering the Dark Universe!" The alien King Huan Yu quickly made her decision. "The combined attack of a million World Lord Zerg Kings is too slow; there isn't enough time. I can only use a secret technique myself to stop him!"

"Haha... you aliens, the treasure is mine!" Seeing that there were no more obstacles ahead, only empty universe space, the Nine Li clone laughed wildly. Then, without hesitation, he plunged into universe space, preparing to travel into the Dark Universe.

But suddenly, the scene before his eyes changed.

The originally empty universe space abruptly began to drizzle. The fine rain drifted across a million kilometers, completely covering every inch of universe space!

The entire expanse of universe space seemed to be veiled by a thin, hazy gauze.

When the raindrops fell upon the Nine Li clone, his expression involuntarily became unfocused. In a daze, he seemed to be standing in an antique alley paved with blue bricks and black tiles, only wide enough for two people to pass.

He looked up. At the far end of the alley, a woman in an azure palace dress appeared. Her fair, delicate hands held an oil-paper umbrella as she gracefully walked toward him...

"Why does this scene feel so familiar?" The Nine Li clone looked at it, as though he had remembered something, yet as though he had remembered nothing at all.

As the woman holding the oil-paper umbrella slowly drifted closer, he could even smell the lilac-like fragrance on her body...

But at that moment, Lian Luo's Main Body's voice rang out in his mind. "You've fallen under an illusion. Wake up!"

The instant he heard that, he woke up. When he opened his eyes again, where were the misty rain and the girl with the oil-paper umbrella? There was only the vast, boundless universe space, the female alien King Level warrior in azure armor rapidly flying toward him from over five hundred thousand kilometers away, and nine raindrop-shaped shuttles already less than a hundred thousand kilometers from him!

Buzzz!

Wherever the shuttles passed, universe space seemed to have been plowed by a giant furrow, splitting open with deep fissures. Layer upon layer of spatial fragments was thrown aside, exposing the boundless spatial turbulence within!

The nine shuttles connected end to end in a straight line as they shot toward the Nine Li clone at the same time!

"Damn it, so she was behind this. Illusionists really are terrifying!" Seeing this, how could the Nine Li clone not understand what had just happened? The female alien King Level warrior pursuing him was actually an extremely rare illusionist, and she had nearly trapped him within her illusion.

Fortunately, the blood light membrane formed by the Feather Spirit Stepping Heaven Boots protected the Nine Li clone, weakening the illusion attack by seventy percent. His will had also reached the limit of an Immortal God, giving him tremendous resistance to illusions. Most importantly, his main body's state of mind had already embarked upon the path of the Pure Heart, making it almost impossible for illusions to affect him.

Thus, almost the moment he was hit, his main body saw through the illusion and awakened him!

"Alien King Level warrior, I'll settle this with you next time!" The Nine Li clone's eyes brimmed with killing intent.

Then he drew his war blade without hesitation. The Blood-Robed River surged forth, stretching across universe space as it fiercely collided with the nine raindrop-like shuttles.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

A series of muffled impacts rang out as all the shuttles were knocked flying. Borrowing the rebounding force, the Nine Li clone flew backward at high speed. Before long, he reached light speed and transformed into a streak of light that vanished into universe space.

"This... how is that possible?" When the alien King Huan Yu saw the Nine Li clone use the rebound from her attack to accelerate directly into the Dark Universe, her face beneath her armor was filled with shock and fury!

To interfere with the Nine Li clone just now, she had burned five percent of her divine body in one go. With the soul talent of her Dream Demon Race, then burning another five percent of her divine body to unleash this ultimate move, even a peak King-level expert would have been dragged under.

Yet that human had only been dazed for a brief moment before breaking free from the illusion?

"It's that treasure war boot!" She immediately thought of the treasure obtained by the Nine Li clone. "It must be that treasure that blocked my illusion attack!"

"Should I keep chasing?" Struggle, hesitation, and all kinds of emotions flashed through the alien King Huan Yu's eyes.

In the original Universe, she had dared to pursue him because her side's peak King-level experts could teleport over at any time. But if she entered the Dark Universe, she would be alone. What if he counterattacked...

"My divine body has already suffered losses of around twenty-three percent. I can't pursue him any further. I'll wait here for King Shang Hun to teleport over!" In the end, she gave up on entering the Dark Universe alone to pursue him. Her speed gradually slowed, and the dazzling azure glow rapidly faded.

"That guy escaped into the Dark Universe!" Silver Dragon King muttered. "These aliens really are useless, arriving so slowly!"

King Zhenyan also shook his head regretfully. "The aliens don't have a Virtual Universe, so their communications aren't as convenient as those of our Human race. At least the treasure fell into the hands of a Human race King Level warrior. That's better than letting the aliens take it. Silver Dragon, I'm leaving first!"

Whoosh!

His figure vanished. This time, he had truly left.

Yet in the very next second after his departure, dozens of powerful auras appeared one after another at the edge of the star river. A sinister figure entirely cloaked in black robes appeared directly beside the alien King Huan Yu.

"Where is he? Where did he go?" The black-robed figure looked at the figure before him, excitement in his voice!

King Huan Yu respectfully pointed out the direction for him. "Honorable King Shang Hun! That human escaped into the Dark Universe, right at that location!"
