Sensation on the Ninth Battlefield

"Fled into the Dark Universe?" The black-robed Shang Hun King was stunned upon hearing this.

In most areas of the Cosmic Secret Realm, dense cosmic dust prevented acceleration to light speed for travel through the Dark Universe. However, the vicinity of the Purple Splendor Star River was an exception. Almost all the cosmic dust in this area was adsorbed by the Star River Heavy Water, creating a vacuum zone near the Star River.

Therefore, in this zone, as long as one left the vicinity of the Star River, they could travel through the Dark Universe.

Shang Hun King frowned, "This is troublesome!"

The Dark Universe allowed for faster-than-light travel. In his current state, burning his divine body, that Human could directly reach speeds of over a hundred times light speed. In this short time, who knew how far he had already traveled.

Of course, this wasn't the most troublesome part. The most troublesome aspect was that the coordinates in the Dark Universe and the Original Universe were not the same. A distance traveled in the Dark Universe would be magnified 10.081 million times in the Original Universe. This meant that traveling one kilometer in the Dark Universe would equate to traveling 10.081 million kilometers back in the Original Universe!

So, if that Human accelerated for tens of millions of kilometers in the Dark Universe before decelerating and returning to the Original Universe, they would already be hundreds of billions of kilometers away. In terms of speed, it was naturally not as fast as the instantaneous movement of peak King-level experts, but the key was that no one but himself could know the coordinates from which he left the Dark Universe.

So, what was the use even if Shang Hun King could teleport? Even if he teleported to pursue, he would need to know where the target was!

"I hope he's still in the Dark Universe. Then I still have a chance to obtain the Supreme Treasure!" Shang Hun King's thoughts raced. He said softly, "I'll enter the Dark Universe now to investigate!"

"Swish!"

He instantly accelerated to light speed and also entered the Dark Universe.

Subsequently, in the Dark Universe, he activated his detector and began scanning his surroundings. His detector was the most high-end model, with a maximum detection range of 2 billion kilometers!

If that Human was still in the Dark Universe, they shouldn't have escaped such a vast range!

But to his disappointment, after searching in the direction where the Nine Li clone had fled, he couldn't find any trace of the other party.

"In such a short time, even with superluminal flight, it's impossible to travel beyond a 2 billion kilometer range. The other party must have flown for a distance and then exited the Dark Universe! If only Huan Yu had followed, then we would know the exact coordinates from which he left the Dark Universe!" Shang Hun King mused, his speed gradually decreasing as he returned to the Original Universe.

"Swish!"

He teleported back to Huan Yu King. Facing Huan Yu King's expectant gaze, he shook his head, "That Human must have left the Dark Universe after flying a certain distance. I didn't find him!"

Upon hearing this, Huan Yu King gritted her teeth, "What a cunning Human!"

"Your divine body?" Shang Hun King sensed Huan Yu King's aura and directly produced a World Ring. He controlled the ring with his Immortal power and floated it in front of her. "Although I didn't get the Supreme Treasure, you did follow my orders and burn your divine body to pursue. Take these treasures to restore your divine body!"

Huan Yu King accepted the World Ring and, upon seeing the treasures within, a relieved smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, Shang Hun King!"

The Dream Demon Race was known for its unity in their cosmic territory! Therefore, even though they didn't obtain the Supreme Treasure, Shang Hun King didn't blame Huan Yu King. Instead, he bestowed treasures upon her to compensate for her lost divine body!

Furthermore, as a peak King-level Soul Master, his strength and wealth were comparable to those at the King-level Limit. The divine body Huan Yu King had lost was insignificant to Shang Hun King!

The peak King-level and King-level Limit experts who arrived later, seeing that even Shang Hun King had returned defeated, could only leave one after another!

And as they departed.

News of a Supreme Treasure appearing in the Purple Splendor Star River and ultimately being seized by a Human King quickly spread throughout the entire Ninth Battlefield.

Undoubtedly, the entire Ninth Battlefield was in an uproar.

All the powerhouses fighting in the Ninth Battlefield remembered this name!

Human, Jiu Li!

Countless powerhouses attempted to find the Human Jiu Li and seize the Supreme Treasure from him!

Information about the Nine Li clone was summarized by the alien King-level experts who had interacted with him.

"His strength is only slightly stronger than an Early King-level, but he is brutal, bloodthirsty, extremely cunning, despicable, and is suspected to have a divine body clone!"

That's right. The Nine Li clone had so recklessly burned his divine body, yet his aura barely changed. Even a fool would guess that he possessed a divine body clone.

As for possessing an Origin Supreme Treasure?

No one even considered that possibility. A Supreme Treasure, especially an 'Origin Treasure' that could serve as a clan-protecting treasure, how could it possibly be owned by a mere King-level expert?

It was like an author going on hiatus; people would definitely guess they were busy with something, who would think they were being taken in for a cup of tea after getting a foot massage...

Just as the entire Ninth Battlefield was in turmoil, with powerhouses from various races inquiring about the Human Jiu Li's information.

A blood-colored triangular spaceship traversed the universe and appeared in the vicinity of War Base No. 076. Inside the spaceship, a tall figure enveloped in a blood-colored halo sat cross-legged in the main control room. It was the Nine Li clone!

After the battle in the Purple Splendor Star River, upon entering the Dark Universe, he first accelerated at hundreds of times light speed for several seconds, then directly exited the Dark Universe and piloted the spaceship for leisurely flight for several months. At that time, even he himself was not entirely sure of his exact location!

Then, estimating that the alien peak King-level and King-level Limit experts searching for him had dispersed, he re-entered the Dark Universe and returned to the military base!

"Returned to the War Base! Would those aliens dare to come again?" A smile played on the Nine Li clone's lips.

"Beep beep, Soldier Jiu Li, your spaceship is about to be taken over!"

"Rumble~~"

Within the colossal, star-like War Base, countless spaceships entered and exited. Among them was a blood-colored triangular spaceship, slowly flying in!

"This place is nice!"

After slaughtering so many Marquis-levels in the Purple Splendor Star River and engaging in combat with several Kings, successfully escaping. The Nine Li clone was undoubtedly recognized as a King-level expert by the Merit System, so his resting place was also on an independent island.

"Lord Jiu Li, if you have no other instructions, I shall take my leave!" the War Base staff member said respectfully.

The Nine Li clone nodded, "You may go."

As he spoke, he had already leaped onto the island. After a satisfied glance around, he walked directly into the villa at the center of the island.

Sitting cross-legged, the Nine Li clone finally revealed a smile. "It's time to take stock of my gains!"

During this Star River riot, he not only obtained the Supreme Treasure 'Feather Spirit Stepping Heaven Boots', but also killed 21 High Marquis and 62 Early Marquis alien races!

The military merit alone was worth 27.2 million Chaos Units.

The value of the spoils of war obtained from these Marquis Immortals was close to 2 billion Chaos Units!

"I need to find a channel to sell all these spoils of war!" the Nine Li clone thought to himself.

Previously, he hadn't acquired many spoils of war, so he could have sold them directly to the Virtual Universe Company through his main body. However, with such a short time having passed, it wasn't suitable to use his main body for sales again, lest it lead people to suspect the connection between the two.
