Burning Space World Lord

Before his words had even faded—

Rumble!!!

The endless purple-gold Thunderlight Vine seemed to have received some command, beginning to swell and spread madly at a speed beyond imagination!

A million kilometers! Ten million kilometers!

The incomparably thick vines resembled giant pythons awakening in the starry sky, entwined with destructive lightning. In an instant, they wove into a colossal net that blanketed the entire starfield, completely sealing off every possible escape route for Silver Frost Marquis and Nightmare Snake Marquis!

As far as the eye could see, there were only dancing purple-gold vines and terrifying flickering lightning!

"What?!"

"This range..."

Silver Frost Marquis and Nightmare Snake Marquis' expressions changed drastically. They burned their divine power in an attempt to accelerate, only to find the surrounding space incomparably viscous, as though they had fallen into a swamp of lightning. Their speed plummeted!

"Break for me!"

Silver Frost Marquis roared, his claws sending forth hundreds of millions of icy blades. Yet they only left shallow white marks on the vines before being annihilated by the lightning in an instant.

"Argh!! I can't move!!"

Nightmare Snake Marquis twisted his body frantically, spewing poisonous mist as the Laws of Corrosion spread out, but he could not shake the restraint of this Pinnacle King-Level plant life in the slightest.

"Die!"

Lu Ming's icy voice sounded like a final judgment.

The next instant, the countless Thunderlight Vines blanketing the starry sky shot forth once more! They were so fast that they seemed to ignore the distance of space itself!

"No—!"

"Spare us!!"

Amid the desperate howls of the two Marquis-Level immortals, countless purple-gold vines became the sharpest spears, instantly piercing through their divine bodies!

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

The dense sounds of penetration made one's scalp tingle!

"Arghhhhh!!"

Silver Frost Marquis' enormous wolf body and Nightmare Snake Marquis' winding serpent body were thoroughly pierced through from every angle by countless vines at the same moment!

Dark-gold divine blood spurted from countless wounds like fountains, only to be completely vaporized by the violent lightning!

Their divine bodies were skewered in midair, twitching faintly like two enormous insects nailed to the void, without the slightest remaining sound.

The raging icy divine power and corrosive poisonous mist, like flames without roots, swiftly dissipated and vanished.

The two Monster Race Marquis-Level immortals—Silver Frost Marquis and Nightmare Snake Marquis—had completely fallen here!

The starry sky fell silent. Only the countless slowly swaying purple-gold vines and the lightning dancing across them proved that the brief yet brutal battle had just taken place.

Lu Ming expressionlessly waved his hand, collecting the World Rings and other spoils left behind by the two Marquis-Level immortals. At the same time, a thought crossed his mind.

Whoosh—

The enormous Thunderlight Vine blanketing the starry sky rapidly contracted, turning into a streak of purple-gold light that entered his body and vanished.

"Marquis-Level... before Little Thunder, they really aren't much to look at."

He muttered softly, his gaze returning to the star map.

"I've fought for so long. After this battle, I need to properly digest everything I've gained."

The battle in the Yungu Star Belt had yet to settle, but a storm was already quietly rising.

Lu Ming piloted the Meteor Shuttle back toward the Human Race's military camp base, preparing to quietly digest the insights he had gained from three hundred years of slaughter and the battle just now.

However, he did not know that at the very moment Silver Frost Marquis and Nightmare Snake Marquis' divine bodies were completely annihilated, they had already transmitted every detail of the battle.

"Silver Frost and Nightmare Snake... have fallen?"

"The two of them joined forces to besiege the human genius, the 'Burning Space World Lord,' in the Yungu Star Belt, yet they both fell?"

"Investigate! Investigate immediately! What exactly is the origin of this Burning Space World Lord?!"

Within the Monster Race camp, several King-Level immortals flew into a rage. Their powerful divine senses swept over the traces remaining on the battlefield. The unique aura of Laws of Fire and Space fused together, along with the terrifying power of that plant life which had made their hearts palpitate at a glance, swiftly allowed them to identify the target.

It was not just the Monster Race.

The intelligence systems of the Machine Race, Bug Race, and others also began operating efficiently at almost the same time.

A World Lord had not only counter-killed two Marquis-Level immortals who had joined forces to besiege him, but had even completely annihilated them!

The news spread through the upper circles of the Ninth Outer-Domain Battlefield like a hurricane.

"The Human Race has produced another monster!"

"Codename: 'Flame Edge.' True name unknown. His comprehension of Laws is extremely high, and he is suspected to have mastered fusion laws. He excels in fire and space, possesses terrifying blade techniques, and created his own ultimate technique, Burning Universe Space-Splitting Slash... His greatest reliance is a plant life at least at the Pinnacle King-Level—Thunderlight Vine!"

"Latest intelligence: his newest codename—'Burning Space World Lord'!"

"A World Lord Level being who slew Marquis-Level immortals against the odds! And he killed two!"

"Threat level: Extremely high! Recommendation: those below King-Level should immediately avoid him upon encounter. King-Level beings must treat him cautiously and make a decision only after confirming the state of his plant life!"

For a time, the two names, "Flame Edge" and "Burning Space World Lord," were like enormous boulders cast into a tranquil lake, stirring towering waves among the upper echelons of the various races on the Ninth Outer-Domain Battlefield.

His battle record, his talent, and his mysterious plant life all became the most prominent and noteworthy pieces of intelligence among the various factions.

A new supreme genius of the Human Race was emerging with unstoppable momentum upon this bloody Outer-Domain Battlefield, rising to fame!

At this moment, however, Lu Ming, at the center of the storm, was immersed in cultivation and remained unaware of it all.

But he knew that after this battle, he would no longer be able to keep a low profile on the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

Though he had never intended to keep a low profile from the start.

Meanwhile, in another barren starfield far from the Yungu Star Belt.

Upon a floating stellar fragment comparable in size to a planet, a gigantic snake covered entirely in dark-gold scales and over a hundred kilometers long abruptly raised its head and let out a pained hiss that tore through the starry sky!

Roar!!!

Terrifying sound waves mixed with vast divine power instantly shook the enormous stellar fragment beneath it into powder!

The other floating meteorites nearby also burst apart one after another, as though struck by invisible sledgehammers!

"Burning Space World Lord!!!"

Within the giant snake's vertical pupils, like blood-red lakes, burned towering fury and bone-deep hatred. It wildly lashed its long tail, each strike causing the void to tremble.

"You dared to kill my younger brother! You dared to kill Nightmare Snake!!"

"If I do not avenge this hatred, I, Tear-Chaser King, swear I am no monster!!"

He was none other than the elder brother of Nightmare Snake Marquis, whom Lu Ming had killed earlier—the notorious King-Level immortal of the Monster Race, Tear-Chaser King!

He had just confirmed through the Monster Race's internal emergency intelligence network the terrible news of his younger brother Nightmare Snake Marquis' annihilation, as well as every piece of information about the culprit.

After the crazed roar came deathly silence.

Tear-Chaser King's enormous body coiled atop the void fragment. His dark-gold scales opened and closed slightly from his extreme fury, spewing poisonous mist with a foul stench.

His blood-red vertical pupils stared fixedly at the intelligence concerning the "Burning Space World Lord" on the virtual screen, especially that Thunderlight Vine described as "at least Pinnacle King-Level"!

Fury surged through his veins like magma, yet a trace of icy reason forcibly suppressed his impulse to seek revenge immediately.
