A Total Rout

After making slight adjustments to the details of his original plan and feeling confident in his strategy, Ye Muxuan put the matter aside. He scanned the activated detectors, and upon confirming there were no noteworthy targets, the spaceship began to accelerate. Within three seconds, it reached a sub-light speed of 250,000 kilometers per second, flying rapidly through the vast starry sky!

Checking the latest star map, the distance from Ye Muxuan's current coordinates to his target was approximately 30,000 light-years. If he were to fly continuously within the Original Universe, it would take over 30,000 years even at the speed of light! Therefore, after the detectors confirmed there were no targets of interest within a 100-million-kilometer radius, Ye Muxuan decisively entered the Dark Universe!

With the Machine Race Spaceship traveling at 35 times the speed of light, the 30,000-plus light-year distance of the Original Universe took less than an hour in the Dark Universe. Just over forty minutes later, the ship was ejected from the Dark Universe, arriving in the target area!

The Moli Star System, with an overall diameter of about 100,000 light-years, was a medium-sized galaxy. On its edge lay a small star system about one light-year in diameter, consisting of celestial bodies orbiting a single star. It was composed of twelve planets and numerous dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, gas, and dust, with three planets suitable for human habitation distributed within these orbital paths.

In the starry sky, a silver-white pyramid-shaped spaceship appeared abruptly. Because it had just emerged from the Dark Universe, the ship remained in a static state, floating silently in space.

Having just returned to the Original Universe from the Dark Universe, Ye Muxuan activated both the large-scale detector and his own small-scale detector!

The detectors indicated that within a radius of 100 million kilometers, there was only one location with the aura of a World Lord!

Ye Muxuan's gaze fell upon an asteroid about 600 to 700 kilometers in diameter, located nearly a million kilometers away, and he frowned slightly.

Destroying an asteroid was no difficult task for Ye Muxuan. The problem was that the Planet Destroyer Cannon mounted on the Machine Race Spaceship had excessive firepower! One shot would certainly destroy the asteroid, but it would likely also destroy the people inside, along with their World Rings and other belongings.

If that happened, there would be no evidence left.

The space in front of Ye Muxuan rippled, and an E4 Rank Alloy Spaceship appeared, aligning with the Machine Race Spaceship. This was one of the many ships from the World Ring of that Sky Wolf Race World Lord. In terms of performance, it was far inferior to the three E9 Rank Spaceships Ye Muxuan had kept for himself, and its only weapons were three D9 Rank Railguns. It could only bully asteroids; it couldn't even destroy a normal planet with a diameter of ten thousand kilometers!

Nine Phoenix controlled the D9 Rank Railguns on the ship. After thirty seconds of charging, a dazzling beam of light one hundred meters in diameter streaked across space, striking the asteroid after about three seconds of flight!

Silently, the asteroid first shattered, then was detonated by the compressed energy, turning into a flash of light and becoming cosmic dust!

As the asteroid was detonated, a deep purple, fish-shaped spaceship was revealed at its core!

"E9 Rank!" Ye Muxuan, inside the control room of the Machine Race Spaceship, nodded slightly. The railgun shot had been fired, and the three-second window was enough for Ye Muxuan to retract the E4 Rank Spaceship and enter the Machine Race Spaceship.

A D9 Rank Railgun clearly could not destroy the hull of an E9 Rank Spaceship. Compared to these high-level spaceships, some planets and even stars were relatively fragile!

Once the E9 Rank spaceship appeared, it immediately began to flee. After all, any entity capable of destroying a 600-kilometer-wide asteroid in one hit was at least a World Lord! Even more terrifying was that the ship's own detectors hadn't discovered where the enemy was!

The small-scale detector concealed the traces of Ye Muxuan and the Machine Race Spaceship, while the large-scale detector easily tracked the flight path of the E9 spaceship. Nine Phoenix steered the Machine Race Spaceship to ram directly into it!

Given the performance of that fish-shaped E9 Rank spaceship, it would take about ten seconds to accelerate to the speed of light and enter the Dark Universe, which was already quite impressive. However, his own Machine Race Spaceship only needed three seconds to reach the speed of light!

Because the E9 Rank spaceship was fleeing blindly, it was only a mere 800,000 kilometers away from Ye Muxuan, and due to the angle, this distance was still shrinking! Just 2.6 seconds later, the E9 fish-shaped ship had only just discovered an incoming vessel when it was struck head-on by the Machine Race Spaceship!

"Boom!"

In the silence of space, the deep purple, fish-shaped E9 spaceship disintegrated instantly, smashed into wreckage. As the auras of two World Lord Level 9 Plant Lifeforms emerged, a brilliant, icy blade of light flashed. The blade ignored the joint defense formed by the massive vines of the two Plant Lifeforms, split the alloy armor, sliced through the Force Armor, and struck a lean man!

This strike cleaved through the defensive barrier formed by the two World Lord Level 9 Plant Lifeforms, split the alloy armor, sliced through the Level 5 Force Armor, and the remaining force still directly shattered the Origin Bead of a World Lord Level 5!

The lean man stared fixedly at this sudden strike, his aggressive, wolf-like eyes flashing with confusion, bewilderment, and fear, before his consciousness finally sank into endless darkness!

The Origin Bead shattered, and the World Lord died!

From the moment Ye Muxuan brought out the E4 Rank Spaceship and began the thirty-second railgun charge, it took 3 seconds to destroy the asteroid, 2.6 seconds to smash the E9 Rank spaceship, and 0.1 seconds to draw his blade and kill one World Lord Level 5 and two World Lord Level 9 Plant Lifeforms—a total duration of 5.7 seconds!

This was a World Lord who had survived for over 100,000 years on the Outer Battlefield! He was a World Lord General of the Outer Battlefield! He was even one of the strongest World Lords known for being able to kill Immortals head-on!

Compared to them, some World Lords within the Universe Kingdoms, like this one, were pitifully naive! Even some experienced Domain Lords on the Outer Battlefield could kill him with careful calculation!

On the Outer Battlefield, especially for a lone wolf like Ye Muxuan, even a 0.1-second delay in combat could lead to life-or-death danger!

With the World Lord dead, his Internal World collapsed automatically, scattering a massive amount of items into space. Ye Muxuan's World Force swept through, collecting the vast quantity of items along with the World Lord's corpse into an empty World Ring. The next second, he stepped into his ship, the ship started, and three seconds later, it reached the speed of light and entered the Dark Universe! He left behind an empty expanse of space and a few scattered fragments that could barely be identified as spaceship wreckage!

By the time the organization and the backers behind this World Lord discovered they couldn't contact him, hundreds of years had already passed!

After all, for a World Lord, even a simple period of secluded cultivation to comprehend laws was calculated in units of hundreds or thousands of years!

In the Dark Universe, inside the quiet room of the Machine Race E9 Rank Spaceship, Ye Muxuan sat cross-legged. The ship had been set to a new destination: Cangniao Planet in the Seventh Battlefield. From there, he would pass through the God Kingdom Transit Station to reach the Ninth Battlefield. Longyan Planet was in the Ninth Battlefield! In this epoch, all the World Lords and Immortals in the Outer Battlefield who had exchanged for the opportunity to comprehend the Initial Universe would gather there!
