Pan Xi!

Starting as a slave, he launched a revolt the day before a biochip was to be implanted, seized a living planet, led his men to escape, and over the following centuries, while cultivating to raise his strength, he furiously took revenge on the slave traders who had owned him, until he himself became the largest slave trader in the Cui Lang Starfield.

From a slave with nothing to a Realm Lord sitting on boundless wealth.

Perseverance, ambition, methods—he had them all.

A pity.

A flicker of coldness flashed through Qian Yu's eyes.

He had long since made up his mind to wipe out the entire Fire Phoenix Organization.

And Pan Xi must die.

The next moment, his figure vanished from the cockpit.

When he reappeared, he was already in the starry void at the edge of the asteroid belt.

He did not conceal his aura; instead, he released his presence without reservation. The pressure of a Domain Lord Ninth Stage Peak descended like a great mountain, crushing down toward the depths of the asteroid belt!

Boom!!!

The moment he stepped into the asteroid belt, a sudden change occurred!

The three asteroids closest to him began to tremble violently, and countless cannon muzzles lit up across their surfaces!

Three thick beams of energy tore through the starry sky, blasting toward Qian Yu from three directions at once!

Qian Yu's expression did not change.

Space-Time Control!

Hum—

With him at the center, space within tens of thousands of kilometers instantly froze solid!

The three energy beams, powerful enough to kill a Domain Lord, struck the frozen space, only causing faint ripples before they could advance no further.

His battle blade left its sheath.

One slash!

The blade light swelled to dozens of kilometers, like a black ribbon of silk, cleaving toward the nearest asteroid!

Boom!!!

That asteroid, nearly a hundred kilometers in diameter, exploded under that single strike!

Countless fragments scattered in all directions, blooming into a massive firework in the starry void!

"Pan Xi!"

Qian Yu roared, his voice shaking the four directions!

"I'm here! Come out and face me!"

Under the shroud of Space-Time Control, every inch of space within tens of thousands of kilometers was within his perception.

Soon, he locked onto his target.

It was a massive planetoid over six hundred kilometers in diameter, located deep within the asteroid belt.

In the perception of Space-Time Control, a powerful life aura was hidden inside that planetoid.

"There."

Qian Yu's gaze sharpened.

Still trying to hide and not come out?

Then I'll force you out!

His battle blade struck again.

This slash was even stronger than the last!

The blade light swelled to hundreds of kilometers, carrying the might to annihilate heaven and earth, spanning the starry void as it cut toward that massive planetoid!

This was no special secret technique.

Qian Yu had never come into contact with any secret techniques in all his years of cultivation.

He was simply stacking laws and releasing them—Law of Fire enhancement, Law of Space enhancement, the power of a three-hundred-fold Gene Level layered on top.

But even so, the power was terrifying to the extreme!

Boom!!!

That planetoid, six hundred kilometers in diameter, exploded under that slash!

Countless rocks scattered in all directions, revealing what had been hidden inside—a massive, deep-purple sword-shaped spaceship, silently floating in the shattered starry void!

The ship was entirely deep purple, shaped like an unsheathed sword, with a dim light flowing across its surface.

Under the assault of that last slash, it had only suffered minor damage!

An E9-Class Spaceship.

Qian Yu's gaze sharpened.

An E9-Class ship—that was a top-tier vehicle only a Realm Lord Level powerhouse could possess, worth a fortune, and even some weak Immortals used this very model.

"Nice ship."

Qian Yu sneered.

"But useless."

Space-Time Control had already enveloped this stretch of space; under the temporal-spatial lockdown, this ship had no chance of escape.

Sure enough.

The next moment, a figure shot out from the ship, hovering in the shattered starfield.

It was a middle-aged man in a dark red robe, with a sinister face and narrow eyes, radiating the pressure of a Realm Lord Level.

It was Pan Xi.

He stared fixedly at Qian Yu, his expression one of shock.

"You?!"

"How do you know about this place?!"

"Even the other directors of the Fire Phoenix Organization have no idea about this stronghold of mine!"

Qian Yu looked at him, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Of course he knew.

He had read the original story.

The original text clearly stated that Pan Xi's lair was in the Bein Asteroid Cluster.

He also knew that this guy had a whole pool of Locke Divine Water in his hands!

That was a supreme treasure that could drive countless Immortals mad.

"Pan Xi."

Qian Yu spoke slowly, his battle blade angled.

"Enough talk."

"Today, I'm here to kill you!"

Pan Xi raised a hand, forcing a smile onto his face.

"Wait, hold on—there's no need for us to fight to the death."

"With your strength now, we could totally cooperate. If we join forces, the Fire Phoenix Organization will grow even stronger."

He paused, and when Qian Yu showed no reaction, he continued, "Whatever you want—money, wealth, women—I can give it to you. Even if you want a star system, I can gift you one."

He spread his arms wide, making a gesture of embrace.

"Let's shake hands and make peace from now on. How about it?"

Qian Yu looked at him, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

That smile was faint, but it sent a bad premonition surging through Pan Xi's heart.

Pan Xi really didn't want to fight.

At this moment, Qian Yu's aura was far too terrifying.

He was only a Domain Lord, yet he gave Pan Xi an indescribable sense of oppression.

Even with his two plant-type lifeforms at his side, Pan Xi wasn't confident he could defeat Qian Yu now.

If they could talk, it was best to talk—at worst, he'd lose some wealth, which he didn't lack.

But then.

"So much useless chatter!"

Qian Yu barked coldly.

He raised his battle blade and slashed!

The blade light surged, tearing through the starry sky, aiming straight for Pan Xi's head!

Pan Xi's face changed drastically, a flicker of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

He yanked out his own battle blade and swung it in a single stroke, meeting Qian Yu's blade light!

Boom!!!

The two blades clashed, and wild energy burst outward in all directions!

At the same time, a cold gleam flashed in Pan Xi's eyes. World Projection, activate!

Hum!!

A phantom of a world emerged behind him—the projection of his Inner World, the hallmark ability of a Realm Lord Level powerhouse!

Under the World Projection's coverage, it could suppress an opponent's strength and amplify his own combat power!

"Since you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit!"

Pan Xi roared.

"You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

World Projection crashed down with overwhelming force, colliding with Qian Yu's Space-Time Control!

Then, in an instant, Pan Xi's World Projection was swallowed whole by Qian Yu's Space-Time Control!

"What?!"

Pan Xi's eyes bulged in disbelief.

His World Projection, before that domain of the other party, was torn apart and engulfed like paper!

He naturally had no idea that Space-Time Control was one of the universe's most supreme Talent Secret Arts—how could it possibly be matched by the World Projection of an ordinary Realm Lord?

"First, take this strike from me!"

Qian Yu's figure had already closed in!

Pan Xi gritted his teeth and swung his blade to meet the attack!

Boom!!!

Two irresistible forces collided with a thunderous impact!

Pan Xi felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, a mountain-toppling, sea-overturning force surging through his war blade, and his entire body was sent flying as if struck head-on by a star!

"Ugh!!!"

He tumbled hundreds of kilometers through the starry void, barely managing to steady himself. Looking down at his hands, his tiger's mouth was split open, blood dripping freely, and his entire arm trembled uncontrollably.

"What?!"

Pan Xi's face was filled with shock.

"How can you be this strong?!"
