The First Battle Against King Jiming

The King Jiming and the Alien Race powerhouses in the team behind him all looked toward the unusual spatial fluctuations.

Swish!

A figure exuding an aura of "weakness" appeared simultaneously; it was none other than King Ailei, the servant of Tianmeng King. While King Ailei wasn't actually weak—he possessed the strength of High King — High King actual strength was simply insignificant compared to King Jiming and his servant!

"Little fellow, what's wrong? Is something the matter?" King Jiming asked in a calm tone, seeing that the newcomer was merely a High King Immortal of the Machine Race. However, unlike King Jiming's slightly arrogant question, the powerful figures under its command stared intently at the suddenly appearing King Ailei, as if any unusual movement from him would result in his immediate annihilation.

Faced with the attitude of this group of powerful figures, King Ailei dared not be negligent. It simply stared at King Jiming and slowly said, "King Jiming! I possess the coordinates of the human King Huanshi."

"What?!" King Jiming flashed and instantly appeared in front of King Ailei. "Are you telling the truth? You should know the consequences if you came here to cheat me out of my 500 million bounty!" King Jiming said in an extremely cold tone, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

"King Jiming, of course! I am merely a minor High King, how could I possibly deceive you?" King Ailei replied in a rather flattering tone.

"Lead the way!" King Jiming remained noncommittal. Of course, it knew that this High King wouldn't dare to deceive it, but as a powerful being, it always had to maintain its dignity at the appropriate time. This was a required course for every superior. Over the years, it had long since mastered this skill.

Several thousand kilometers away from Lu Yan'an, the Invincible King of the Machine Race, King Jiming Wang, and his Feng Wang servants appeared in the void at the same time, and the one leading the way for them was none other than King Ailei.

"Truly, skill breeds daring, attempting such a 'blind spot' maneuver right in front of me!" King Jiming said with a complex expression. It simply couldn't accept that this human had been in this Neutron Star Region all along, and the distance between them was less than a light-year! What does a light-year mean to King-level Immortal? It's just the distance of a casual Teleportation!

"You're quite good!" King Jiming praised calmly, looking at the King-level Immortal before him. "My detector has already located the King Huanshi's figure. The information is confirmed to be correct. I will immediately give you the bounty, lucky little fellow."

Having said that, King Jiming immediately transferred money to King Ailei's private account. It was only a mere 500 million Yulan Unit, which was just a small sum in the eyes of Invincible King. After confirming the accuracy of the information, it was naturally not stingy with the bounty.

For powerful beings who Invincible King, their reputation is more important than life itself. This is why Tianmeng King never worries about the other party going back on their word, because there is absolutely no need to.

Upon receiving the bounty, King Ailei didn't dare linger. What a joke! A battle between Invincible King- level experts—how could a High King like himself get involved? Even a ripple from their attack would easily obliterate him! Staying put would only be courting death.

"I've done a preliminary scan with the detector, and it seems that the King Huanshi is truly the only living being around him. Is he really that confident?" The King Jiming shook his head, then asked his servants, "Are the detectors we have the latest version?"

As Invincible King among the Machine Race, the King Jiming naturally possessed the highest-grade detectors. However, the Machine Race's technology iterates extremely quickly. Hence, it asked this question.

"Master, your detector is naturally the latest version, and no one in the clan would dare to let you use an outdated detector," a Feng Wang- level servant replied respectfully.

"The King Huanshi is sitting cross-legged on a rock in a cave in the Ice and Snow Mountain Range 5,000 kilometers away. Although his detector is on, it doesn't block the signal detection of outsiders, so he is obviously waiting here." Another soul master at the limit of the Feng Wang level quickly added.

"I knew he was setting a trap."

"He knows I'm prepared," King Jiming Ming chuckled. "He's not stupid, and neither am I. We both know the other is prepared, and we both know that as long as neither side backs down, this battle is inevitable. He's clearly confident... and I'm confident too... He'll only regret it when he falls!"

"Approach from four angles and surround him, ensuring that there is a limit to the power of Feng Wang at every point. At the same time, be careful to maintain distance. This King Huanshi is said to have obtained a secret technique from the inheritance of Secret Pattern that is still effective against soulless life forms!" King Jiming instructed.

"Yes." The several King-level Immortal on the field also had a moment of seriousness in their expressions, but in the end they all followed the orders of the King Jiming and began their encirclement and suppression.

Different statuses lead to different approaches.

"With six Feng Wang at their peak flanking, we'd better give that King Huanshi a... greeting gift." King Jiming sneered. "Once they're all in position, I'll crush him head-on!" A fierce glint flashed in its eyes, the fighting spirit that only arises when facing an opponent of equal strength!

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away in a cave in the Ice and Snow Mountain Range, Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air. Suddenly, his tightly closed eyes snapped open, "It's finally here! King Jiming, I've been waiting for you for so long! I hope you're different from those other empty-headed fellows and can hold out a little longer."

In mid-air.

Dressed in plain white robes, Lu Yan'an gazed at the approaching King Jiming in the distance.

"King Jiming, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you here for so long." Lu Yan'an looked at King Jiming from afar, "Didn't you spread the word to find me at first? Now I'm here!"

"Hmph, I did spread the word and put a bounty on your coordinates, but you've been hiding for far too long! You're right under my nose, still playing these tricks. To be honest, you truly are a master of manipulating souls; your heart is truly filthy!" The King Jiming chuckled. "And it seems you were well-prepared for this appearance, weren't you?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Lu Yan'an teased.

"Oh, it seems you have some powerful trump cards up your sleeve." The King Jiming smiled, its technologically advanced body amplifying its intimidating presence to the maximum.

"Then let's see if your strength matches your tone!" A cold voice suddenly entered Lu Yan'an's mind. At the same time, an invisible and terrifying attack came from afar. A black lightning star thousands of meters high broke through the air and came at an astonishing speed. Wherever it passed, the shattered space was like a steel plate that had been broken and crushed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Space was crushed and shattered into streams of particles. The speed of the black lightning star was so fast that Lu Yan'an's expression changed. "What kind of attack is this? I feel like the spacetime around me has been completely suppressed, and I can't activate the Law of Time at all!"

"Since I can't dodge it, then I won't dodge it! Slash!" Lu Yan'an swung his Ningfeng Blade in his right hand, and a full moon image instantly appeared, unleashing the second move of the secret technique "Origin": Yao Yue!

The full moon, tinged with the light of blades, drew upon the Time Power in mid-air, instantly amplifying its power tenfold! Facing this fierce attack, Lu Yan'an showed no fear, meeting it head-on!

A full moon, transformed into a shimmering lake of Flowing Light, collided directly with a towering black lightning star in mid-air, the star and the full moon clashing head-on in an instant.

"Break!" Lu Yan'an roared, and the image of the full moon completely enveloped the lightning star.

"Boom!"

The moment of impact, the image of the full moon shattered completely, and the black lightning star was blasted back to the King Jiming at an even faster speed. Then, it beckoned, and the star instantly shrank, landing in its left palm. At this moment, both sides frowned, staring intently at each other.
