On the Brink of Battle

Meanwhile, inside a cave in the Lava Mountain Range three thousand kilometers away, Thick Earth King sat there frowning. "There were two consecutive unusual spatial fluctuations just now, clearly God Kingdom Teleportation. One came and one went, meaning a powerful figure from the Human Faction must have brought 'Absolute' here via God Kingdom Teleportation, and then that powerful figure left alone. Since he's already here, why hasn't he made a sound? With me here, does he not dare to make a move?"

"Impossible! They're willing to spend 100 million Hunyuan Unit to offer a bounty on my coordinates, how could they not dare to make a move! Besides, with his peak Feng Wang- level strength, dealing with a mere Peak King like me is no problem at all!"

"Right now, that 'Absolute' is probably cautiously probing, isn't it?" Suddenly, a sharp, piercing force locked onto him, and even with his Peak King strength, he felt a sense of impending doom. The next moment, an arrow shot towards him from three thousand kilometers away! This attack was traveling at the speed of light; given the mere few thousand kilometers between them, at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, how short would the time it took to travel be?

By the time the Thick Earth King realized something was wrong, the attack had already begun.

"Not good!" Faced with the terrifying attack, the Thick Earth King immediately used Teleportation, vanished, and disappeared!

"Boom!" Like a giant star, a beam of light swept across, obliterating all obstacles, and the surrounding environment was instantly enveloped by this light representing destruction. The more expensive the Fire God Source Crystal, the more exaggerated its geometric increase in strength becomes, eventually compressing to its extreme!

Only the ultimate compressed Immortal Divine Power flame can create a massive explosion! Of course, Lu Yan'an knew very well that a mere attack from the Fire God Source Crystal wouldn't be enough to seriously injure the Thick Earth King, who primarily cultivated earth-based defensive laws. Moreover, he could Teleportation, and this environment didn't resemble the Mingyuan Thunder Prison...

Using the Fire God Source Crystal as an appetizer is not only ineffective, but also risky as the opponent can Teleportation. Therefore, Lu Yan'an can manipulate the Heart Power Arrow with relative ease. He waits until the Arrow is close to the Thick Earth King before detonating it. His purpose is merely to alert the enemy... to see what trump cards the King might have up his sleeve to deal with him.

The arrow flew out, Fire God Source Crystal exploded, the difference being only 0.1 seconds. Lu Yan'an immediately Teleportation away, avoiding the real explosion.

Even so, when the Thick Earth King sensed the terrifying energy beam hurtling towards Divine Body, he was still so frightened that he immediately Teleportation!

Stop!

Teleportation directly to another distant location on the Yuanming Continent. However, although the Teleportation was timely and he avoided the most terrifying energy burst, his Divine Body was still seriously injured.

"Huff, what a powerful energy attack." Thick Earth King took a deep breath, a hint of shock and anger in his eyes. "This Jue clearly possesses great strength, yet he still resorts to these petty tricks! It's simply outrageous!"

"Fortunately, my Teleportation ability is not bad. This kind of attack is useless." The Thick Earth King stayed in mid-air for a full half minute until the energy was fully released before Teleportation back to the sky above the Lava Mountain Range.

After the destructive light, like that of a star exploding, disappeared, the entire mountain range, including the volcanic magma buried deep underground, instantly turned into nothingness, leaving a huge crater hundreds of thousands of kilometers deep in the surrounding endless land. After a long time, a figure, the Thick Earth King, suddenly appeared in the sky above the crater.

"Tsk tsk!" Thick Earth King looked down at the deep pit below, then gazed at the lazy young man in white robes in the distance. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked. "This guy can unleash such a powerful attack right away. It seems he wants to take me down in one fell swoop? This level of explosion is comparable to Peak King expert self-destructing! Luckily, I didn't expose my Teleportation in the Secret Abyss, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."

"I can't act recklessly. One wrong move and I could lose my life. I'd better let my backup plan slip through my fingers! Hmph, a soul-type master? I'll take on a soul-type master!"

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Thick Earth King's mind in an instant, and Lu Yan'an's goal had been achieved.

This Flying Arrow Source Crystal truly startled Thick Earth King. He never even dared to dream of testing him with Fire God Source Crystal worth hundreds of millions of points. Thick Earth King admitted that he had never fought such a wealthy battle since entering this Outer Region Battlefield! This "Absolute" dared to play like this, which meant he definitely had a very substantial financial foundation, or in layman's terms, "money power"!

"Tianji King Tianyun, King Mingyun, King Heimeng." Thick Earth King contacted the four through the "virtual world."

"Then the humans have arrived?"

"He's already here, but there are four of them. I think this guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, so we can't be careless at all. Let's proceed with Plan B."

"Plan B?"

The King Mingyun was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, no hesitation, we must strike hard from the start. These are four coordinates. Everyone, Teleportation to these specific locations to encircle him, and then..." Thick Earth King quickly laid out his plan through the virtual world. According to Plan A, he was originally going to go and delay Lu Yan'an for a while, and also use King Shenmu to mess with his mentality. But now, he was truly frightened by Lu Yan'an's wealth and power!

On the edge of the Yuanming Continent, the Tianji King, the King Mingyun, and others were already waiting for their summons inside a mountain cave.

The group exchanged glances.

"Don't hold back," the Tianji King said in a deep, resonant voice, "We must annihilate that human in one fell swoop."

"Don't worry," King Heimeng laughed. "With four peak-level Feng Wang- rank experts launching a combined attack, I don't believe he can dodge it. I don't know what Thick Earth King was thinking, having to pay such a high price to hire the four of us to deal with a mere peak-level Feng Wang- rank human."

Although they spoke with great contempt, they were all at the peak of the Feng Wang- level realm, and naturally, they took Lu Yan'an was also at the peak of the Feng Wang- level realm, very seriously! They knew that each of them, a powerhouse of their level, must have some incredible trump card to protect themselves. Although they tried their best to kill Lu Yan'an, they were afraid that if they were not careful, they might lose their own lives as well.

Stop! Stop!

Everyone Teleportation disappeared and rushed towards their respective locations according to the arrangement of the Thick Earth King.

In mid-air.

Lu Yan'an, dressed in plain white robes, gazed at the distant Thick Earth King.

"Thick Earth King, I thought you were too scared to show yourself." Lu Yan'an looked at Thick Earth King from afar. "Didn't you spread the word to find me at first? But when I showed up, you disappeared. I offered a bounty for you before, you should have known about it by now, but you still didn't show up. Now that you've suddenly appeared, it seems you've made thorough preparations!"

"Hmph, I did spread the news, but you've been hiding for long enough."

The Thick Earth King chuckled, "That attack from the Fire God Source Crystal probably burned away hundreds of millions of your Hunyuan Unit's worth of wealth in one go, right? Tsk tsk, you really are rich! Add to that the inheritance and wealth you obtained in the Secret Abyss, it's truly enviable."

"It seems you've focused all your attention on wealth. But that's understandable. If wealth weren't so alluring, how could you, with your Peak King strength, dare to do something like this?" Lu Yan'an teased.

"Oh, it seems you've prepared quite a few backup plans, so much so that even now, you dare to talk to me so casually!" Thick Earth King smiled, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"So stop talking nonsense and just release the King Shenmu! I'm in a hurry."

"So, that's why you're here spouting nonsense!" The atmosphere instantly became tense, threatening to erupt at any moment.

However, Thick Earth King was waiting, and so was Lu Yan'an.

They were both waiting for the same person...

"Let you be smug for now. Once Tianji King and the others have made their preparations, even if you have a killer move, you'll still be facing an attack from four peak-level Feng Wang -level experts! I want to see what trump cards you have up your sleeve."

Thick Earth King's heart, however, was cold and filled with murderous intent.

"Thick Earth King, bring on all your tricks! This time, I'll see if your trump card is worth my killing blow!"

Lu Yan'an to himself.
