Alien Marquis

Thunder God Hall Secret Realm.

Zhou Lin first used the Star-Eating Grass's Divine Kingdom Teleportation to return to the outer region, then teleported into the depths.

The places where the Branch Halls were located covered a total area of roughly fifty thousand light-years. As for where the Main Hall was, some believed it lay in the most dangerous region, while others thought it was in the outskirts.

The most dangerous place was the safest place.

Those who came to Thunder God Hall to seek treasures might also harbor the dream of excavating the Main Hall themselves one day.

"According to the directional guidance above, this Branch Hall is in the southeastern corner of the entire secret realm, at least three hundred thousand light-years from me."

Inside a Cosmic Secret Realm, Zhou Lin naturally couldn't take out the Starfield Flying Ship to use. Its target would be far too obvious and could easily draw people's attention.

He continued traveling by teleportation.

Moreover, every teleportation greatly aided his comprehension of the Law of Space. If he could gain the recognition of the Law of Space sooner, he would also be able to unlock teleportation.

Zhou Lin was curious whether the teleportation abilities of the two systems could be stacked.

The southeastern corner was already part of the secret realm's outskirts. Only fragments of continents and planetary remains floated there, and even Marquis Immortals were extremely rare.

"It's actually here?" Zhou Lin stopped on an unnamed continent. There were far too many continents in the Cosmic Secret Realm; only the more famous ones had names.

The continent beneath his feet had a diameter of roughly seventy billion kilometers and a depth of around twenty-three billion kilometers, making it relatively small.

The unnamed continent was utterly desolate, without the slightest trace of life.

Zhou Lin's Void Realm Domain was also restricted inside the Cosmic Secret Realm.

Before the Void Realm was opened up into a Dao, it could not exist independently of the real world and was only equivalent to a reflection.

Thus, even the Void Realm Domain could not penetrate such a vast and solid stretch of earth. However, the Purple-Blue Thunder Glass had provided a general direction.

Zhou Lin looked around, confirmed that no one was there, and had the Star-Eating Grass and Cloud-Touching Vine keep watch while he began digging downward.

Rumble!

The sound of digging was extremely loud. Fortunately, this region was quite desolate, so there weren't many powerful beings passing through. Occasionally, an Army Lord Immortal would pass by, but upon seeing the Cloud-Touching Vine and Star-Eating Grass, they would leave immediately.

After digging down ten billion kilometers, Zhou Lin stopped.

"They really know how to bury things, these Lorlori Race members." Zhou Lin split off nine Void Realm clones, which began digging in all directions.

The crystal had only given a general range and depth, so he could only search using this most primitive method. Besides, the soil of this secret realm was very strange; detection instruments simply couldn't penetrate it.

Not to mention the Thunder God Hall Secret Realm—even the sacrificial towers of the Yanji Continent were like this. Buried deep underground, they were completely undetectable by scanning instruments.

One day, two days...

Zhou Lin had more than enough patience. Since he could confirm that the Branch Hall was buried here, he would have to dig it out even if he had to search every inch of the ground.

The seventh day of digging.

"I finally dug you out." After a full seven days, Zhou Lin finally found the Branch Hall thirty-seven billion kilometers underground.

The depth and range recorded on the crystal were not very accurate. The exact reason was impossible to determine now, but being able to dig it out was already a good thing.

The Branch Hall stood inside an underground cavern. When Zhou Lin broke through into it, dust filled the sky. The treasure sealed away for endless years was finally about to see the light of day again.

"Hmm?!" Zhou Lin was just preparing to enter Thunder God Hall to seek treasures when he keenly noticed two Alien approaching from several tens of millions of kilometers above.

The power of the Void Realm was fully revealed at this moment. Zhou Lin's detection ability at this distance was stronger than that of any instrument.

"How can the Cloud-Touching Vine and Star-Eating Grass be completely unaffected? Could they have been dealt with?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Lin's mind.

But there was no longer enough time to think. The other side was flying here at sublight speed and would arrive before long.

"They shouldn't be able to discover Thunder God Hall. Even my detection instrument was completely unable to find it." What Zhou Lin feared most was that the Branch Hall would be discovered.

Very soon, his figure became transparent, and he flew upward. He had to stop these two Alien Immortals.

Whoosh!

Zhou Lin was equally fast, covering nearly two hundred thousand kilometers per second. The two sides would meet in a little over a minute.

He maintained the Void Realm Domain at all times. Only when they drew near did he clearly see the two Alien's faces. They were from the Katu Race, an affiliated race of the Demon Race.

Both were covered in feathers and had tall Divine Bodies. This race was also known for its cold-blooded viciousness and extreme belligerence.

The two sides drew closer and closer. They would meet in another five seconds. Zhou Lin stopped, and two Void Realm clones appeared behind him and charged toward the two Katu Race powerhouses.

Hiss!

A streak of sword light appeared out of nowhere and struck the Katu Race Immortal in front, making him stagger. He twisted in midair several times before finally stabilizing himself.

The Katu Race Immortal behind him suffered the same fate.

"Big brother, something's wrong!"

The Katu Race Immortal in the rear shouted angrily, "What rat ambushed the two of us? Don't you dare show yourself?"

"Hu Mo, don't get excited." The leading Katu Race Immortal was called Ci Jin Hou. He had some fame in the outskirts of the Thunder God Hall Secret Realm, while his brother Hu Mo was only an Army Lord Immortal.

Although he was only an Army Lord Immortal, the difference in power between him and Ci Jin Hou wasn't very large. Their greatest difference lay in the Undying Body.

Zhou Lin's figure appeared, but his appearance had changed into that of a half-human, half-demon, somewhat resembling an Ape Man. He held a staff in his furry hand, yet his aura was that of a Realm Lord.

"An Alien Realm Lord? You're the one who ambushed us?" Ci Jin Hou's gaze was cold and sharp. He didn't underestimate this mere Realm Lord before him.

Any Realm Lord who dared to come to a Cosmic Secret Realm naturally possessed extraordinary strength.

What was more, Zhou Lin's two sword lights earlier had already proven his strength.

Ci Jin Hou and Hu Mo also communicated through voice transmission.

The passage deep underground was only tens of thousands of kilometers wide. The two sides were less than a thousand kilometers apart, facing each other with weapons at the ready.

"When did you start following me?" Zhou Lin asked with a frown. "Or rather, when did you notice this place?"

Ci Jin Hou didn't answer. Instead, he was considering whether he should attack.

"Let's do it, big brother." Hu Mo urged him anxiously. "No matter how powerful he is, he's only a Realm Lord."

For a Realm Lord to rival a Marquis, their comprehension of the Laws had to reach the threshold of a King.

To rival a King, their basic Law comprehension had to reach the twentieth level, and they would also need other special opportunities.

As long as he didn't encounter someone whose Law comprehension had reached the twentieth level, Ci Jin Hou was confident he could preserve his life.

The two had come to this place because they were drawn by the disturbance Zhou Lin had caused, but they had no idea what exactly he was excavating.

"Alien, what exactly are you excavating? Take us there and let us have a look." Ci Jin Hou still didn't attack directly. Instead, he shouted the question again.

Zhou Lin cultivated the Myriad Tribulation Primordial Body. Every particle in his body could be manipulated at will, so changing his appearance was naturally effortless.

At least in Ci Jin Hou's eyes, he still couldn't determine which race Zhou Lin belonged to.

"Stop looking. You're staying here today."

Zhou Lin's voice was hoarse. He had to eliminate Ci Jin Hou as quickly as possible.

As for what he wanted to ask, he could simply control the soul of Hu Mo, this Ordinary Immortal, and ask him personally afterward.
