Death?

To think that it is a World Lord recognized by the laws!

A World Lord leading a team, along with five Domain Lords—and they call themselves space pirates?

Who are they trying to fool!

"Damn it!"

The moment he saw the old man, Li Yilin's expression sank instantly, but at the same time, his suspicions were confirmed.

There must be some conflict of interest on Wunuo Star that he was unaware of, which is why they moved against him the moment the planet was registered under his name.

The interests involved were perhaps far greater than he had imagined; those people were not even willing to wait for a period of time, choosing to strike without hesitation the moment he left the supervision of the Giant Axe Arena, likely fearing he would return to Wunuo Star and discover the truth.

What exactly is there?

It is worth them dispatching a World Lord just to hunt him down.

"Li Yilin, you should feel honored that I have to take action against you personally!" The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent as he looked down at him. "Give up your resistance and submit, and I may spare your life!"

"Spare my life!" Scanning the five people eyeing him like tigers, Li Yilin sneered. "Your formation doesn't look like you have any intention of leaving me alive."

"Do not attempt to seek help in the Virtual Universe, and do not think about stalling for time. Before we moved against you, we already ensured that no one could help you, at least not in the short term." As if seeing through his subtle movements, the old man's expression became even more detached.

Before they struck, they had made complete preparations to ensure the mission could be accomplished.

"Attack!"

The five Domain Lords instantly surrounded Li Yilin. Among those five, two were spirit readers; they did not close in, but instead stood not far from the old man, unleashing soul attacks.

Two invisible strands of soul power struck toward Li Yilin's head simultaneously, targeting the location of his soul. At the same time, over a dozen cold-glinting hidden weapons shot toward his eyes and various weak points on his body from all directions.

Li Yilin hurriedly circulated the Thunder Dragon Art to protect his soul while resisting the sneak attack of the hidden weapons. Fortunately, the trace of Thunder Dragon bloodline within his body reduced the impact to a minimum, not hindering his ability to fight back.

While he resisted the soul attacks and the barrage of hidden weapons, the attacks of the other three arrived.

The combat zone was limited, so they could not all attack at once. The first to strike were two warriors wielding battle blades; one attacked his upper body while the other targeted his legs, their coordination impeccable. Li Yilin leaped up, dodging the sweeping blade, and simultaneously swung his own blade toward the warrior who was thrusting his weapon directly at his arm.

That warrior hurriedly retreated to dodge, but at the same time, a spear tip emerged from behind him, aiming straight for the wrist holding Li Yilin's blade.

Seeing this, Li Yilin had no choice but to force his blade to veer, using the momentum to dodge the spear thrust while turning to sweep away the sharp weapon stabbing toward his waist.

Clang, clang, clang-clang!

With each intense collision, terrifying energy shockwaves spread out in rings. Even though they were quite far away, the old man could still feel the intensity of the battle; the mere aftermath was enough to make his expression shift.

The Thunder Domain was released, and within a hundred-mile radius, it instantly turned into a purgatory of thunder. The intense fluctuations of the laws forced the five Domain Lords to retreat involuntarily. Seeing this, the old man's eyes grew even colder.

In just half a month, this kid's strength had actually made visible progress. It was terrifying!

Since they had already provoked such an enemy, they could not leave him with even a sliver of a chance to survive.

"Kid, don't blame me for bullying the weak!" A cold voice reached his ears. Li Yilin turned his head, but before he could even see clearly, he was struck in the abdomen by a fist.

BOOM!

"Urgh."

The powerful attack sent him flying instantly. Li Yilin endured the intense pain, forcing his wrist to rotate and using all his strength to decapitate the Domain Lord who had struck his arm. The violent thunder on his blade instantly shattered the man's soul fire.

That Domain Lord didn't even have time to scream before his life force vanished!

"Third Brother!" The spirit reader not far from the fallen Domain Lord screamed in grief and rage, his eyes filled with a venomous, vicious intent as he looked at Li Yilin.

Li Yilin ignored him entirely, his attention focused solely on the small system panel in his vision.

Because the moment he successfully killed that Domain Lord, he noticed that the progress bar on the system panel, which hadn't moved for hundreds of years, had suddenly jumped—it was full!

It was full!!!

He had no time to revel in his joy before the old man's furious, violent strike arrived before him.

"You're courting death!"

The fist, fueled by boundless rage, slammed directly into his chest. Violent world energy surged into his body along with the punch, and Li Yilin could even hear the sound of countless bones breaking and exploding within him.

His lower body was instantly pulverized into a bloody mist, and he was sent flying like a meteor, crashing heavily into a barren planet nearby.

"BOOM!"

The massive shockwave caused the huge barren planet to detonate.

Looking from afar, one could only see a barren planet suddenly explode, blooming like a mushroom against the backdrop of the starry sky. A powerful cosmic hurricane instantly tore the planet apart along the lines of the explosion.

Within a few breaths, the barren planet shattered into a field of meteorites due to the successive explosions, drifting irregularly under the pull of cosmic gravity.

In the old man's eyes, Li Yilin's aura had vanished the moment the planet exploded!

"Dead?"

The old man's gaze swept repeatedly over the barren planet that had turned into a field of meteorites. Many of the drifting fragments were stained with blood, and there were even severed limbs and remains.

He flashed over to the nearest meteorite, his world energy bombarding it repeatedly.

Within the range of his perception, any meteorite that could possibly hide someone was blasted into cosmic dust.

The four Domain Lords did the same, weaving through the meteorite field; regardless of whether the rocks were large or small, if anything seemed off, they blasted it directly.

The debt of a brother's life must be paid with a life; they would never give him any chance to survive.

Until every single meteorite had been blasted, no one had managed to find a trace of Li Yilin.

One minute later.

"Impossible!"

The old man hovered above the asteroid belt, looking down at the debris below with a dark and uncertain expression.

He did not believe that Li Yilin could have died so easily; after all, he was a Giant Axe Warrior, so how could he possibly lack a contingency plan?

His furious strike could indeed kill a Sector Lord, but that Sector Lord would certainly not be a Giant Axe Warrior who had successfully survived 1,000 life-and-death battles!

He never doubted the true value of a Giant Axe Warrior from the Giant Axe Arena.

But reality, it seemed, was just that absurd!

He wanted to search through it carefully, but...

"Master, time is up," a Sector Lord reminded him, casting a resentful glance at the drifting asteroid belt in the distance.

He wished he could drag Li Yilin out immediately, slice him into a thousand pieces, and make him wish he were dead to honor their fallen brothers.

But more importantly, their mission could not be exposed.

"Damn it!"

The old man unwillingly blasted the asteroid belt once more. He even used his full strength, and the violent energy stirred up such a fierce cosmic hurricane that the remaining four Sector Lords scrambled to dodge, not daring to get anywhere near it.

"Target confirmed dead."

The old man hovered in the air, took one last unwilling look at the asteroid belt that had been reduced almost to cosmic dust, snorted coldly, and turned to enter his spaceship.

The five spaceships slowly accelerated and soon vanished from sight.

Not long after the ships disappeared, a silver spaceship suddenly appeared. Sawatdee flew out from the ship, his expression turning grave as he sensed the aftermath of the intense battle.

"Too late?"

He searched carefully, then quickly flew toward the asteroid belt that was gradually dispersing into the surroundings. The energy fluctuations still rippling through the air made his expression even more solemn.

The attacker was at least a World Lord recognized by the laws, and specifically, a World Lord recognized by the Law of Fire.

While a Sector Lord's strength was enough to shatter a planet, it was extremely difficult to reduce a planet almost to cosmic dust, especially in such a short amount of time.

Therefore, it could only be a World Lord.
