Five Hundred Years

In a void within the center of the Shattered Star Belt, a dark gold spaceship was flying at extreme speed in a certain direction.

Inside the spaceship's control room, a golden alien, over thirty meters tall, was looking at the screen with a sinister grin.

"Heh heh, there's actually a human team here. What a bunch of suicidal fools!"

His name was Luo Ya. He was a member of a weak race, currently entering the Extraterritorial Battlefield as an ally of the Mechanical Race.

Although the entire Extraterritorial Battlefield was divided among the four peak races, countless smaller races affiliated with these four peak races also joined the battle.

Luo Ya was one of them. The strongest in his race was merely an ordinary High-level Universe Venerable. Such a weak race found it extremely difficult to survive in the universe, let alone improve their cultivation and strength.

Luo Ya saw this limitation and chose to head to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, hoping to find an opportunity to break through to King-level or even Venerable-level!

Unfortunately, in the millions of years since entering the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he hadn't even reached the peak of Marquis-level, let alone King-level!

However, the battles over the years had allowed him to accumulate considerable combat merits and wealth. With just a little more time, he might be able to exchange for resources to break through to the peak of Marquis-level.

Therefore, he absolutely could not let this human team in front of him slip away.

Thinking this, Luo Ya's smile deepened.

"Full speed ahead and chase this human team! If we don't hurry, someone else might snatch them!"

Under Luo Ya's command, the spaceship accelerated, rapidly closing in on the human team of five.

"Captain, aren't we being a bit too reckless? The center of the Shattered Star Belt is where those Marquis-level existences roam. We're just ordinary Immortals."

The silver spaceship drifted in the void. Inside, five humans of different races were sitting in the lounge.

The previous statement was made by one of the female Immortals.

Hearing the female Immortal's words, a strangely-looking human from the Blood Steed Race among the five waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Our captain is a Highness from the Great Axe Fighting Arena. Even though he's only at the peak of Immortal, ordinary Marquis-levels might not even be his match!"

"But..."

The female Immortal wanted to say more, but she was interrupted by a person wearing golden armor.

"Yu Xi, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, just as Xue Chen said, even if we encounter a High-level Marquis, I have enough strength to protect you all. If it's an Early-stage Marquis, with our combined efforts, we have a high chance of hunting him."

"Hunting an Early-stage Marquis is much more valuable than hunting ten ordinary Immortals!"

"Yes, Captain." With the captain speaking, what else could Yu Xi say?

However, deep down, she sighed. How could Marquis-level Immortals, with their immortal bodies, be so easily hunted?

Millions of kilometers away, Luo Ya stopped controlling the spaceship. His figure slowly flew towards the silver spaceship not far ahead.

Two million kilometers, one million kilometers, five hundred thousand kilometers...

Luo Ya stopped at five hundred thousand kilometers and quickly condensed a divine power sphere in his hand.

"That's about right. Accept a blow from the central region, hahaha!"

The sphere was unleashed amidst Luo Ya's laughter, quickly turning into a stream of light that fiercely struck the flying silver spaceship.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion echoed in the void.

The E-class spaceship was almost instantly annihilated by the divine power sphere, but the lounge inside the ship was clearly made of sturdy materials.

Even a full-power attack from a High-level Marquis only sent it flying backward like a football for tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Tch, damn peak races." Seeing that his full-power attack yielded no results, Luo Ya pouted slightly in resentment.

Inside the lounge, the five human Immortals were also startled by the surprise attack. Finally, the 'His Highness' at the peak of Immortal reacted first, shouting repeatedly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Quickly leave the lounge and prepare for battle!"

Five beams of light flashed, and their figures appeared in the void. Their gazes quickly locked onto Luo Ya, who was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

"An alien, with the strength of a High-level Marquis!"

At such close range, combined with the strength exposed by the recent attack, the human Immortals quickly determined Luo Ya's approximate cultivation level.

"What do we do, Captain? Should we send a distress signal?" Yu Xi said with some worry.

"Yes, to be safe, send a distress signal, and then we'll fight in our usual way!"

The golden-armored 'His Highness' did not refuse this time and quickly made arrangements with a calm demeanor.

"Die!" Seeing the humans before him, Luo Ya no longer held back. He took out an axe-like weapon from his Inner World and swung it fiercely at them.

A brilliant axe light illuminated the void. Where the axe light passed, the surrounding space began to shatter. The extreme sharpness made even the golden-armored 'His Highness's' face change drastically from tens of thousands of kilometers away.

This was definitely not an ordinary High-level Marquis!

As a core member of the Great Axe Fighting Arena, Qin Yu had encountered many Immortal Gods who used axe secret techniques, but among them, he had only seen one capable of such power!

That was an Immortal at the peak of Marquis-level!

Even so, Qin Yu could only grit his teeth and meet the attack!

"Burning Sky!"

He raised his hand, and a Divine Weapon appeared in his palm. Then, he unleashed the strongest secret technique he had cultivated so far.

The surging Law of Fire empowered the blade light, meeting the brilliant axe head-on.

Bang!

The collision of Immortal divine power produced a tremendous sound, its aftershock spreading outwards from the point of impact for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Merely the spread of the aftershock caused the surrounding void to ripple and fragment like the surface of a calm lake disturbed by a falling stone.

And that blade light, in the very instant of the collision, had already been severed by the sharp Law of Metal.

The gap between high-level Marquis and peak Immortal was simply too vast!

Fortunately, the subsequent strongest attacks from four Immortals bought him some time, allowing Qin Yu to summon an Immortal slave from his World Ring to block that sharp axe light.

Otherwise, enduring that previous strike would have left Qin Yu severely wounded, if not dead!

"You actually blocked my attack like this? I'd like to see how many more slaves you have!" Luo Ya said mockingly upon seeing this, then raised his axe, intending to cleave down at them again.

However, just then, an unfamiliar voice echoed through the void.

"High-level Marquis… you're actually worth my effort."

Su Heng stood in the void, looking at Luo Ya with a playful expression.

After cultivating for five hundred years, just as he was heading deeper, he encountered a high-level Marquis alien. What good luck.
