Leaving Azure Mist Planet

Lu Ming was speechless; he had only just thought of it, and the path was already blocked.

He looked down at the Thunderlight Vine in his hand.

"Fine, fine, it doesn't matter."

This time, the Thunderlight Vine had reached the ninth rank of the World Lord level with only a 3,600-fold return.

While his own ten-thousand-fold return had only brought him to the ninth rank of the Domain Lord level, the reason was likely his genetic level.

With a thought.

The Thunderlight Vine, consisting of 216 vines, instantly spread out and wrapped around him in a flash.

It transformed into a set of purple-black armor.

In this way, with his own hundred-fold gene strength at the ninth rank of the Domain Lord level, plus this peak ninth-rank World Lord level plant lifeform... his comprehensive combat power.

Within the World Lord level, he should have nothing to fear.

Of course, that is assuming he doesn't run into those monstrous geniuses.

A 216-vine Thunderlight Vine at the peak of the World Lord level was no joke when it came to combat power.

Both of these sacrifices had increased his strength.

It seemed he would have to wait a few years to pay back the debt.

But that was fine; he would spend some more time in seclusion to cultivate the laws.

At his current realm, a few years was truly not a long time.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

Azure Mist Planet family plaza.

At this moment, on the plaza spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers, sat a massive spaceship engraved with the Azure Bird emblem.

It was precisely Lu Ming's D2-grade spaceship.

Today, he was leaving Azure Mist Planet to venture into the universe once again.

As for the Lu Family, he had handed it over to Mo to manage temporarily.

Mo's ability was beyond doubt, and his strength was sufficient.

With his endorsement, no one would dare to dissent, and even if he left for a long time, the family would continue to operate normally.

Although the Lu Family had many members, there were none left within three generations of him.

His wife had passed away tens of thousands of years ago due to the exhaustion of her lifespan, and his children were the same.

Of course, his bloodline had long since been passed down.

After tens of thousands of years of development, the number of his descendants likely approached one hundred million.

However, most of these people had mediocre talent, and as for their character...

It could only be said that many people found it hard to control themselves once they had power and status.

Eventually, Lu Ming simply stopped caring about them.

All resources of the family had to be earned through one's own talent and strength.

This was also why he had to hand the family over to Mo to manage.

Among the main direct descendants, there were truly very few with talent and strength.

Lu Ming did not value bloodlines, after all, he didn't even know how many generations had passed by now.

"Azure Kite, start the ship. Destination--Horned Dragon Planet."

Lu Ming commanded calmly, his figure already appearing in the ship's control room.

The interior of this D2-grade Azure Bird spaceship was extremely spacious and comfortable, with top-tier facilities throughout.

"Understood, Master. Course set, ship starting."

The holographic projection of the intelligent lifeform Azure Kite appeared, elegantly operating the ship.

Hum--

It soon arrived outside the planet.

Initiating acceleration!

"The ship is about to accelerate and enter the Dark Universe."

The ship shuddered slightly, instantly breaking the speed of light, entering the Dark Universe, and heading toward the distant Horned Dragon Planet.

Lu Ming sat in the comfortable seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Leaving Azure Mist Planet this time, besides paying off the loan from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, his more important goal was to sell.

To sell the items he had obtained from these few sacrifices.

Half a month later, the voyage through the dark universe came to an end.

Horned Dragon Planet, a world as prosperous as Azure Mist Planet.

Its interstellar spaceport was grand in scale, with countless spacecraft of all types arriving and departing daily like a school of fish crossing a river.

Near a window in a high-end restaurant close to the spaceport, a youth dressed in flamboyant, greasy-looking finery was elegantly boasting to a beautiful woman sitting across from him.

"My dear, look at these throwing knives. This is a Tier 3 telekinetic weapon; I had to pay a massive price to get my hands on it..."

The woman displayed just the right amount of surprise and admiration in her eyes, making the youth even more smug.

However, at that very moment, outside the restaurant's massive floor-to-ceiling windows, against the backdrop of the cosmic starry sky, a dark cyan, streamlined spacecraft emblazoned with the clear crest of the Blue Bird Family did not head toward the massive docking port like the countless other ships. Instead, it ignored the spaceport's guidance signals and transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the atmosphere of Horned Dragon Planet and flying straight toward a certain direction on the planet's continent at a speed that appeared slow but was actually incredibly fast!

"Huh?"

The youth's words came to an abrupt halt. Like many others in the restaurant who had noticed the scene, he was stunned, his gaze following the non-compliant spacecraft.

"That ship... why didn't it go to the docking port?"

The woman also widened her eyes in curiosity.

According to regulations, all incoming spacecraft must dock at the interstellar spaceport, with personnel entering the planet via internal transport.

Directly piloting a ship into the planet's interior was a privilege reserved for only a tiny minority of individuals!

At a nearby table, a middle-aged man who appeared well-informed and composed sipped his wine and clicked his tongue. "Don't bother looking. Those who can ignore spaceport rules and enter the planet directly are either super-important figures or powerhouses strong enough to make Horned Dragon Planet grant them special treatment."

He glanced in the direction of the spacecraft, which had long since vanished outside the window, his tone tinged with a hint of awe. "Judging by the style and crest of that ship, it doesn't seem to be the standard model of any major power in our Black Dragon Mountain Star Sector. I reckon some lone powerhouse has arrived. Tsk tsk, Horned Dragon Planet is going to be lively for a while."

"Pfft, ignorant. That is the family crest of the Lu Family from the Qing Yang Empire. You don't even know that?"

"What did you say!"

Those in the restaurant who heard this remark revealed expressions of sudden realization and envy.

In this universe where strength reigns supreme, privilege is always linked to power.

The spacecraft arrived at the plaza of a magnificent palace and slowly came to a halt, the cabin door sliding open silently.

A group of staff members in uniform were already lined up waiting respectfully outside.

Lu Ming's figure stepped out from within.

"Greetings, Master."

Lu Ming waved his hand dismissively.

"Rise."

As Horned Dragon Planet was the most prosperous world in the surrounding star systems, he naturally visited it often.

He even owned this piece of property on Horned Dragon Planet.

The group of staff members just now were actually slaves he had purchased, all of whom possessed strength at the ninth level of the Star-Level.

After dismissing the crowd, he took flight and headed straight toward the nearby Qiu Long City.

He had not forgotten the purpose of this trip.

Cosmic Galaxy Bank, I am coming.

Cosmic Galaxy Bank, one of the five giants of the human race!

Its influence spanned every corner of human territory, and its foundation was unfathomable.

It provided not only basic services like storage and lending but also dealt in the acquisition and auction of various rare treasures, and even some clandestine channel transactions.

For Lu Ming, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank had been an indispensable part of his life over the past tens of thousands of years.

Whether it was the accumulation of wealth in his early days or the massive loans he took out later to push for the Domain Lord realm, none of it could have happened without his dealings with this behemoth.

Here, everything was determined by wealth and strength; the rules were clear, and to him at the time, relatively fair.
