Whoosh~
Zhang Dong unfolded his Inner World Projection, illuminating everything within a radius of over a hundred million kilometers. No fog within that range could block his detection. It was like a small Domain Type treasure.
Ordinary powerhouses had no chance of detecting his Inner World Projection.
This was completely different from a Realm Lord's World Projection.
In terms of level, a World God's Inner World Projection was comparable to the Law Domain of an upper law. He was only using it to scout, and even Venerables couldn't detect it.
There were five islands in total within a radius of a hundred million kilometers. Four were completely empty, while one had a World Ring on it. However, he couldn't see inside the ring; he would have to fly over to find out.
With good luck, he might find a Heavy Treasure, or pick up some natives—or the belongings of powerful adventurers who had died in the sea. Picking up their belongings could make him rich, too.
Even Meng Chuan, a mighty Sixth Tribulation expert, went to Demon Mountain to pick up the belongings of Fifth Tribulation experts. There was no shame in making money; it was better than mining.
Even a tiny mosquito was still meat. Zhang Dong stuck to that principle and prepared to search the islands one by one, first completing the goal the Virtual Universe Company had set for him.
When Luo Feng went to the Outer Domain Battlefield to gain experience, the Virtual Universe Company had set him a military merit requirement of ten trillion.
Killing an Initial King was worth exactly ten trillion military merits, while he would have to kill ten Peak Marquises to earn the same amount. Zhang Dong had come to a Cosmic Secret Realm, so his goal was to gather enough wealth of sufficient value.
If he was lucky enough to find a Heavy Treasure, Zhang Dong would naturally have met the requirement.
Otherwise, he would just have to accumulate wealth the honest way.
Strictly speaking, the goal had been set by the Virtual Universe Company—or, more precisely, by the Dark Marquis Lord. Zhang Dong had to amass wealth worth five billion Hunyuan Units.
An ordinary High King or Peak King had a total fortune of around ten billion Hunyuan Units. They had lived for an incredibly long time and accumulated wealth over countless years to reach that amount.
Yet the Dark Marquis Lord expected Zhang Dong to accumulate five billion Hunyuan Units while he was still a Realm Lord.
The five islands within his detection range were all small. Even the largest was only a few hundred kilometers in diameter, making it tiny even by the standards of the Illusory Light Sea.
Zhang Dong didn't teleport over. The Illusory Light Sea's illusions were complex, and most Immortal Kings wouldn't dare teleport around recklessly.
It was like being in a Cosmic Sea perilous place: without a map, you wouldn't dare teleport around blindly.
Teleporting in many Cosmic Secret Realms carried the same risks. A spatial disturbance could affect your landing point and send you into a dangerous area.
"Hm?!"
As Zhang Dong flew, he noticed four streaks of light approaching from about two million kilometers away.
With his eyesight, he saw what they looked like at a glance. He then searched for information on them in the Virtual Universe and learned that all four were Prison Race Immortal Kings.
Four aliens were charging toward him so aggressively. It was obvious they meant to rob him.
Encounters like this were normal in a Cosmic Secret Realm. This place was nothing like the Outer Domain Battlefield, where you could call for help at lightning speed and reach powerful allies from your faction in most areas.
Zhang Dong looked human, was an unfamiliar face, and exuded an Immortal aura through his Treasure Armor. But that aura wasn't convincing proof of anything.
There were only so many powerful Immortal Kings in the human race, and every one of them was renowned. An unfamiliar Immortal God like this couldn't possibly be that strong, so it was only natural to rob him.
The streaks of light were fast. Even through the dense fog, they accelerated to thirty thousand kilometers per second.
Zhang Dong watched coldly without moving an inch. The four Prison Race Immortal Kings found that strange. Even the weakest among them was a High King, and their leader was a Peak King.
"He's not even running?"
"This human Immortal King has some nerve, not running when he sees us."
"He probably knows he can't get away, so he's ready to surrender, hand over his treasures, and pray we spare his life." The Peak King Prison Race member laughed confidently. "I know every human Peak King and Limit King. This one clearly isn't one of them."
Just as the four Prison Race members were about to reach him, Zhang Dong abruptly clenched his right hand in the air.
Within tens of thousands of kilometers, even the fog that never dissipated was affected and grew much thinner. Vast energy surged, and the four Prison Race Immortal Kings were crushed into powder in an instant, then restored.
"Impossible!" The Peak King felt his soul trembling. "Fifty percent of my divine body was annihilated!"
"Mine too—fifty percent!"
"Same here..."
The four exchanged voice transmissions. Their strengths varied, but each had only fifty percent of their divine body left.
After becoming Immortal Gods, every bit of their power contained a soul. Losing fifty percent of their divine body meant they were badly wounded, and their strength had plummeted.
Worst of all, they couldn't move.
The instant Zhang Dong clenched his right hand, time and space seemed to freeze. A dignified Peak King couldn't even fight back.
"My control over my power is pretty good." Given Zhang Dong's strength, if he wanted to kill them, he could have slain all four with a single strike from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
He hadn't killed them because he wanted to test how precisely he could control his power.
The damage varied at every point across a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, allowing him to precisely annihilate fifty percent of each divine body.
"My lord, we were blind..."
The Peak King Prison Race member had just begun to beg for mercy when Zhang Dong suddenly exerted more force. The four Immortal Kings instantly turned to ashes, never to revive again.
An Immortal King's divine body was powerful, and its regenerative ability was astonishing, but neither could compare to a god who had cultivated a powerful Realm God Secret Art.
And no matter how powerful a god was, Zhang Dong could kill him with a flip of his hand. Even as they died, the four Immortal Kings never understood what level of powerhouse Zhang Dong really was.
The leading Prison Race Immortal King had guessed that he was probably an Invincible King. A Cosmic Venerable wouldn't deliberately pretend to be an Immortal King.
Then he picked up the four World Rings they had left behind.
"Why are they so poor?" After checking their contents, Zhang Dong cursed disdainfully. "They're out here robbing people, and this is all they've got?"
The treasures in all four rings added up to only around seven billion Hunyuan Units.
There was nothing he could do about it. Many powerful beings didn't carry all their valuable belongings on them. They kept some cash in the bank, too. That meant robbing someone of their entire fortune was something that happened only once in countless eons.
Whoosh!
Zhang Dong didn't think much of having casually killed four Immortal Kings. He headed for the island with the World Ring and began picking through the leftovers.
He wasn't worried that other Prison Race powerhouses might come for revenge.
Visibility was already extremely low in the Illusory Light Sea, and the Prison Race had no means of communication like that. As for any tracking methods hidden in the belongings, he wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
"I wonder how long it'll be before a Heavy Treasure appears." Zhang Dong was still very interested in Heavy Treasures.
Heavy Treasures could be exchanged for money, money could be exchanged for Fermo Venom, and Fermo Venom could be exchanged for Xiafeng Coins, which would eventually become a True Divine Artifact. What a good deal.
