At that moment, high above the battlefield between the two sides, a man with a pair of wings on his back stood with his arms folded, a faint smile on his face as he watched the fighting below.
This man was the World Lord commanding the Iron Wing Tribe army. He had been the one to kill Meteor General moments ago!
"Kill them all! Kill them all, humans!"
The World Lord was in high spirits. As more and more humans were killed below, his smile grew wider.
Suddenly, one of his subordinates spoke through his communicator.
"General, I've found a human who has mastered the Space Origin Law!"
"What? A human who has mastered the Space Origin Law?" The World Lord paused in surprise, then quickly understood.
Following the coordinates his subordinate sent him, the World Lord focused his gaze on a certain part of the battlefield.
He saw two members of his tribe locked in battle with a human. One was a Domain Lord fifth order, the other a Domain Lord eighth order, while the human was...
"Cosmic level first order?" The World Lord was briefly stunned, but soon confirmed that he hadn't misread it.
Others on the battlefield might have thought Wang Cheng was disguising his level, but the Iron Wing Tribe World Lord could sense his realm clearly through his World Domain.
He knew there was no mistake!
"This... This Cosmic level first order is holding his own against a Domain Lord eighth order?" The Iron Wing Tribe World Lord couldn't believe it. At that moment, he felt no delight—only fear.
What did it mean for a Cosmic level first order to hold his own against a Domain Lord eighth order?
A monster like this might never have been born in the entire history of the Iron Wing Tribe! Even though the Human Race was a Peak Race, a genius like this would surely be at the very heart of its core.
Wouldn't the Human Race assign powerful guardians to protect someone so important?
Would the Human Race really let a genius like this wander onto a battlefield like this and throw his life away? If it did, it would probably have been struck from the ranks of the Peak Races long ago!
"He can create more than a hundred avatars in battle. His grasp of the Space Origin Law is already extremely profound!" Watching Wang Cheng fight, the World Lord gradually noticed even more:
"Time flows differently wherever he goes, and even the places his avatars pass through are affected. This is definitely the Time Origin Law! And he's using both laws in perfect combination!"
The more the World Lord noticed, the more terrified he became. A Cosmic level genius who had mastered both the Time Law and the Space Law, and had a profound grasp of both!
Even if a King level Immortal accompanied a genius like that onto the battlefield, the World Lord wouldn't have thought it excessive in the slightest!
"Is someone watching me?" The Iron Wing Tribe World Lord cautiously sensed the area around him, but, unfortunately, detected nothing.
"I'll have to test it!"
The World Lord decided he couldn't let things continue this way. He immediately sent a message to another subordinate, a Domain Lord ninth order, ordering him to go deal with Wang Cheng.
The Iron Wing Tribe Domain Lord ninth order didn't dare delay after receiving the order. He flew rapidly toward a part of the battlefield.
A moment later, he spotted the three locked in battle. He was puzzled: the human was clearly at a disadvantage, so why had the general sent him to help?
"Feng Chui, hurry! Capture him!" The Iron Wing Tribe World Lord sent another message, urging him on.
"So he's a genius who's mastered the Space Origin Law. No wonder the general wants me to take him alive!" The Domain Lord ninth order thought he understood his general's intentions. Without hesitation, he beat his wings and lunged at Wang Cheng like a fierce beast.
"Domain Lord ninth order?"
Wang Cheng immediately sensed his arrival. He knew that even against a Domain Lord eighth order, he could only rely on Ten Thousand Lines Flow to create avatars and keep them entangled. Against a Domain Lord ninth order, he could easily be killed in an instant!
"Run!"
Wang Cheng used an avatar to fool the Domain Lord eighth order he had been fighting, then fled toward the edge of the battlefield without looking back.
"Trying to run?"
The Iron Wing Tribe Domain Lord ninth order sneered. With a powerful beat of his wings, he shot forward at tremendous speed.
A typical Domain Lord ninth order could reach speeds of tens of thousands of kilometers per second after accelerating for a while. This one was clearly even faster, and a faint green light flickered over his beating wings. After accelerating for a time, he reached the incredible speed of more than twenty thousand kilometers per second.
Wang Cheng's Wind God Shadow, Ten Thousand Lines Flow, and other techniques were explosive skills suited to close combat. He wasn't built for a long-distance chase!
In open flight, even at his top acceleration, his basic speed was less than a thousand kilometers per second.
Even with the aid of the wind and Space Law, and even with Eternal Void accelerating time, Wang Cheng couldn't reach ten thousand kilometers per second—let alone outrun someone chasing him at twenty thousand.
After only a few breaths, the Domain Lord ninth order caught up and blocked Wang Cheng's path.
"Just give up and come with me!" The Domain Lord ninth order reached out with both hands to grab Wang Cheng.
"Like hell I will!"
Wang Cheng had no intention of surrendering. Once he realized he stood no chance, he immediately put the two Fifth-order Force Weapons in his hands into the space connected to his consciousness.
The next moment, Wang Cheng willed it, and the body he had temporarily condensed vanished.
He felt his consciousness pass through space once again. Back on Earth, inside the World Ring, Wang Cheng quickly opened his eyes and rose from the grassland.
"At least I killed a Domain Lord second order and kept a Domain Lord eighth order tied up for a while. That last Domain Lord ninth order also wasted some time trying to capture me. That's about all I could manage!" Wang Cheng sighed.
He still wasn't strong enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to make such a humiliating retreat in the face of what happened today.
"I hope a few of them managed to escape." Wang Cheng shook his head and didn't dwell on it.
Wang Cheng understood that what happened today was simply normal!
There was no doubt that the Outer Realm Battlefield was brutally dangerous. Even World Lords had a ninety-five percent death rate. That made it clear that what happened today was nothing unusual. His emotions were stirred only because he had been there himself and experienced that brutality firsthand!
However, Wang Cheng didn't know that he had made a much greater difference than he imagined!
At that moment, somewhere in the starry sky of the Titan Galaxy—
"Gone?"
The Domain Lord ninth order had come up empty. He looked around in a daze.
Then something even more incomprehensible happened!
"Everyone, retreat at once!" The Iron Wing Tribe World Lord's voice rang out through the communicators of every member of the Iron Wing Tribe.
On the Outer Realm Battlefield, orders were absolute.
At the World Lord's command, every Domain Lord and Cosmic level fighter stopped, even if they didn't understand why.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A great many Iron Wing Tribe warriors hurried back to their ships. The ships powered up and quickly left this stretch of starry sky.
"What happened?" The human warriors who were still alive were all stunned. The Iron Wing Tribe had clearly been winning just moments ago. Why had they suddenly fled?
There were no reinforcements nearby!
In fact, the human warriors weren't the only ones confused. The Iron Wing Tribe's Domain Lords and Cosmic level fighters were baffled too.
Most of them didn't dare ask, despite their confusion. Only a few Domain Lord ninth orders couldn't resist asking the Iron Wing Tribe World Lord for an explanation.
"Feng Chui, you went after that human Cosmic-level fighter. Don't you have something to say?" The Iron Wing Tribe World Lord looked toward one of the Domain Lord ninth orders.
"General, was that human really Cosmic level?" Feng Chui asked, unable to believe it.
"There's no mistake!" The Iron Wing Tribe World Lord nodded. Then he added, "And he was Cosmic level first order!"
"This..."
Feng Chui fell silent. Thinking of how Wang Cheng had vanished without warning, he felt a chill creeping through him. It seemed he'd just come within a hair's breadth of death!
