Seeking Aid, Battle

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu had been on the Dark Continent for a month. He hadn't encountered any other powerhouses; instead, he had discovered a mountain range containing a Dark Radiance Stone vein with a purity of about thirty percent. This was worth more than the wealth gained from killing a King-Sealing powerhouse, so he considered himself extremely lucky.

Although he hadn't run into any other experts, Zhou Yu wasn't in a hurry. The density of powerhouses deep within the Dark Continent was quite high; as long as he remained here, it would be impossible to avoid them forever.

One day, while Zhou Yu was meditating on space laws inside his spaceship as usual, his auxiliary AI suddenly alerted him that he had received a distress signal from the military system.

A distress signal? Zhou Yu's eyes lit up.

Because of the Virtual Universe, the human camp could detect the approximate locations of friendly forces within a certain range on the Outer Battlefield. It was common for someone to send a distress signal if they encountered an insurmountable crisis and happened to find friendly forces nearby.

What pleased Zhou Yu was that the powerhouses deep within the Dark Continent were mostly extraordinary. If someone was calling for help, it meant they had encountered an even stronger opponent.

And strong opponents were exactly what Zhou Yu was looking for.

"Master, the powerhouse who sent the distress signal is requesting a call with you," the auxiliary AI reported.

"Connect it!"

Zhou Yu agreed immediately.

The next moment—

Swish!

A flickering image appeared, followed by a tall figure with wings on her back appearing before Zhou Yu.

"Feather Array King?" Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised. He had happened to run into her when he went to receive the inheritance of the Kongguang Divine General, but he hadn't expected to meet her again here on the Dark Continent.

However, Feather Array King had mentioned earlier that she was adventuring on the Dark Continent, so it seemed she had returned here after receiving her inheritance.

"Zhou Yu!" Feather Array King was quite pleasantly surprised to see him and quickly said, "I am being hunted by the Demon Race's Black Fierce King, Nine Bird King, and Wind Domain King. Please, help me this once."

These three are all peak King-Sealing powerhouses, right? Zhou Yu was slightly surprised. It was rare for three to surround one.

"They are indeed all peak King-Sealing powerhouses," Feather Array King said. "I am willing to offer 5 billion Hunyuan Units as payment."

Three peak King-Sealing powerhouses were no joke; it was impossible to hire someone to deal with such experts without paying a price.

However, Feather Array King was willing to spend this money. She knew that Zhou Yu had long since created a peak secret technique and had now received the Kongguang Divine General's inheritance, so his strength was undoubtedly extraordinary.

"Fine. Turn on your location tracking."

Zhou Yu agreed instantly; earning some extra cash on the side was not a bad deal.

Swish!

Zhou Yu teleported to the sky above a continuous mountain range.

"It's right there."

Zhou Yu looked ahead, already sensing the vast energy fluctuations erupting from that direction.

The space here was locked, so he had no choice but to fly over.

Whoosh!

Zhou Yu accelerated and charged straight in.

At the center of the battle, Feather Array King was wearing a grave expression, continuously unleashing illusion attacks from the rear, while her three King-Sealing servants burned their divine bodies to hold off the three peak King-Sealing powerhouses.

In fact, Feather Array King had once possessed five King-Sealing servants, but two had already been destroyed in previous battles. Although the remaining three were holding on for now, they certainly wouldn't last long.

Of course, Feather Array King hadn't been sitting idle; she had already requested reinforcements through the Hong Alliance, and a friend had agreed to come.

But that would take time!

It was at this moment that Feather Array King suddenly discovered a friendly force nearby, so she decided to call for help. Upon realizing it was Zhou Yu, she decisively offered to hire him for 5 billion Hunyuan Units.

These 5 billion Hunyuan Units were roughly the value of the price she would have had to pay to hold out until her friend arrived.

Now that Zhou Yu was here, Feather Array King naturally preferred his help.

This way, she only had to spend the 5 billion Hunyuan Units and wouldn't owe her friend a favor.

"You're here!" Feather Array King felt a weight lift off her heart as she sensed Zhou Yu's arrival.

"Someone's here."

The three peak King-Sealing powerhouses of the Demon Race naturally noticed Zhou Yu as well.

"Who is that?" The Nine Bird King and the other Demon Race King-Sealing powerhouse didn't recognize Zhou Yu at first; he didn't have much of a reputation among the alien races yet.

"It's Prison World King. He likely has the strength of a peak King-Sealing powerhouse as well."

Black Fierce King frowned deeply.

Zhou Yu had killed his clansman, Wood Owl King, and now he was here to ruin his plans again. It was truly infuriating.

"I'll go meet this Prison World King. You two continue dealing with Feather Array King and force her to hand over the item," Black Fierce King said coldly. "I don't believe she's truly willing to risk everything for an uncertain gain!"

"No problem."

Nine Bird King and Wind Domain King both agreed.

They were under no pressure at all.

Feather Array King's strength lies in her soul illusions, but since they could all withstand her attacks, her threat was greatly diminished. As for her three servants? They were even more mediocre.

Even if they burned their divine bodies, they could barely manage to put up a fight against them.

On the other hand, the King-Sealing Limit Prison World King might prove to be a tough nut to crack. Since Black Fierce King was willing to take him on, let him go.

Whoosh!

Black Fierce King moved, breaking away from the battlefield and heading straight for Zhou Yu.

"Prison World King, I told you to come to the depths of the Dark Continent, not to ruin my fun!" As Black Fierce King neared Zhou Yu, his four arms swelled significantly in size.

"Four Phases Divine Fist!"

Black Fierce King roared, and terrifying divine power poured out from his four arms.

Black Fierce King's divine power amplitude had reached 1,500 times. As the four fist shadows slammed out, their overwhelming power was truly astonishing.

"Defend!"

Zhou Yu remained calm. With a thought, a series of ring-shaped telekinetic treasures flew out to form a shield around him.

This was the Thousand Origin Ring, a telekinetic weapon Zhou Yu had obtained from the Kongguang Divine General inheritance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four terrifying fist shadows slammed into the shield formed by the Thousand Origin Rings, only to be easily blocked.

"This Prison World King, his defense is this strong too?" Black Fierce King was startled.

This move of Zhou Yu's was clearly not his signature technique, yet it easily blocked a full-strength strike backed by a 1,500-fold amplitude.

And this had been his strongest move.

"Array of Time and Space!"

Zhou Yu focused his mind, and 2,000 blades from his other telekinetic weapon, the Space Myriad Blade Disk, flew out.

The 2,000 blades streaked toward the area around Black Fierce King. Black Fierce King tried to dodge, but he was not a master of flight; his speed could not compare to Zhou Yu's telekinetic weapon.

In the blink of an eye, the Array of Time and Space formed around Black Fierce King, trapping him within.

However, Black Fierce King felt no panic. Having witnessed Zhou Yu's Array of Time and Space before, he knew that if he got serious, he could break this move quickly.

"Black Fierce King, stay here for a while." Zhou Yu smiled, and the next moment, he bypassed the Array of Time and Space and flew toward the distant battlefield.

"Is he insane?" Black Fierce King was shocked.

One had to know that there was a limit to the number of telekinetic weapons a controller could manipulate. For the Prison World King to use so many to trap him meant he was no longer at his peak state. In such a condition, what was the point of rushing over there?

"Could it be that this Prison World King's telekinetic amplitude is ridiculously high? That trapping me with these weapons isn't even his full strength?"

As Black Fierce King pondered this, he hurriedly unleashed his full power to bombard the Array of Time and Space that held him.

But after several strikes, Black Fierce King realized something was wrong; the stability of this Array of Time and Space seemed much greater than it had been last time.

On the other side—

Swish!

Zhou Yu flashed into the vicinity of the battlefield. He once again manipulated the Space Myriad Blade Disk, splitting off 4,000 blades to streak toward Wind Domain King and Nine Bird King respectively.

The Space Myriad Blade Disk contained a total of 10,000 blades; for Zhou Yu's current use, this was more than enough.

"This Prison World King trapped Black Fierce King in one move, yet he still has this much energy to spare?" Both Wind Domain King and Nine Bird King were astonished.

At that moment, an Array of Time and Space rapidly formed around Wind Domain King, trapping him as well.

However, Nine Bird King was a massive avian lifeform with incredible movement techniques. The telekinetic weapons Zhou Yu unleashed could not keep up with him for a moment.

"Hahaha, this move of yours is useless against me!"

Nine Bird King laughed, moving at extreme speed to strike from Zhou Yu's flank, his eagle talons viciously clawing toward Zhou Yu's head.

Zhou Yu's expression remained calm. He once again activated the Thousand Origin Rings to form a defensive light shield, blocking the attack.

"I am impressed. To think you still have the strength to block my attack while trapping two King-Sealing Limits!" Nine Bird King looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Feather Array King is lucky to have hired a helper like you. We concede."

This Zhou Yu is truly worthy of being a genius of the ten-million-epoch level. It seems he gained a great deal from the Kongguang Divine General inheritance, Feather Array King thought, feeling a sense of admiration.

It hadn't been long since the opponent became an Immortal, yet he had already easily forced three King-Sealing Limits to concede.

"Concede? I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Zhou Yu sneered. The next moment, the speed of the thousands of blades from the Space Myriad Blade Disk he controlled suddenly surged.

That speed easily surpassed Nine Bird King's movement technique.

"What?"

Nine Bird King was shocked, but by the time he reacted, he was already trapped within a fully formed Array of Time and Space.

Zhou Yu's goal from the very beginning had been to kill all three. To avoid raising their guard, he hadn't actually used his full strength when he first attacked.

He had only used 100,000 times the power of a peak World Lord—the power of a normal King-Sealing Peak.

Even so, that was strong enough. After all, the "Array of Time and Space" was a peak secret technique, and when combined with telekinetic weapons controlled by a 2,000-fold mental power amplitude, it was enough to trap an ordinary King-Sealing Limit.

But now, as he channeled the Xueluo Power, his strength surged to a million times that of a peak World Lord, which naturally made a difference.

Even if Nine Bird King's movement technique was strong enough, Zhou Yu controlled his telekinetic weapons with even greater power, instantly surpassing Nine Bird King in speed and naturally trapping him with ease.

"Prison World King, you were hiding your strength?" Nine Bird King finally reacted, shocked and furious.

If the opponent had unleashed this level of power when dealing with Black Fierce King from the start, he and Wind Domain King might have run away long ago; instead, they were all now trapped within the opponent's techniques.

"Isn't that obvious?" Zhou Yu shook his head.

At this moment, he directly manipulated the three "Arrays of Time and Space" to launch his killing move.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Within each Array of Time and Space, thirty-six streams of light spun frantically, erupting with terrifying shredding power.

Thousand Spin Kill! Thousand Spin Kill! Thousand Spin Kill!

"This power?"

The three King-Sealing Limits were all stunned. They couldn't block this move at all; their divine bodies were ground into powder in an instant, and even a portion of their divine power was annihilated within the arrays.

"My divine body has been damaged?"

All three were filled with shock and rage.

In reality, this was perfectly normal.

The three Arrays of Time and Space were each a peak secret technique combined with a million times World Lord power and a 2,000-fold mental power amplitude. In terms of power, they had reached two thousand times that of an ordinary King-Sealing Peak, which was enough to injure the divine body of a King-Sealing Peak.

Although the three of them were King-Sealing Limits, their divine bodies were not necessarily stronger than those of King-Sealing Peaks, so they naturally had to suffer injuries under this move unleashed by Zhou Yu.

"Fight him to the death!"

The three dared not hesitate any longer and chose to burn their divine bodies directly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both sides erupted with power a thousand times greater than before, and the terrifying force immediately caused the Arrays of Time and Space to distort.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly at this. If he were in a one-on-one fight, his 7,000-fold mental power amplitude could go all out to stabilize a single Array of Time and Space; in that case, even if a King-Sealing Limit burned their divine body, he could still trap them.

But now, his power had to be split into three parts to deal with each of them, so naturally, he struggled to withstand this force.

"If only I had a heavy treasure, it wouldn't be this troublesome."

Zhou Yu's gaze turned cold. He decisively burned 0.5% of his divine body. Having consumed soul-type treasures one after another, the divine body he had burned previously had long since recovered.

Burning it again now was nothing to him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the thousand-fold surge of Zhou Yu's divine power, the three distorted Arrays of Time and Space immediately stabilized, and no matter how frantically the three attacked from within, they could no longer shake the arrays in the slightest.

"Thousand Spin Kill!"

Zhou Yu launched the Thousand Spin Kill six times in a row. Before the terrifying power provided by his burning divine body was exhausted, the three King-Sealing Limits were completely killed.

"My god, those three King-Sealing Limits were actually killed just like that."

"The expert our master hired is too terrifying."

"This must be the strength of a King-Sealing Invincible level, right?"

"..."

Feather Array King's three King-Sealing servants watched this scene, their hearts filled with shock as they whispered to each other.

King-Sealing Invincible—every one of them was a legend.

"The three of you, shut up!" Feather Array King scolded. Hearing this, the three King-Sealing servants immediately closed their mouths obediently.

"Such a genius is truly terrifying." Feather Array King looked toward Zhou Yu's direction, feeling quite envious.

She had been a King-Sealing for ten million years, and even after receiving the inheritance of the Kongguang Divine General, she still couldn't be considered a King-Sealing Limit; otherwise, as a soul master, she wouldn't have been bullied to that extent.

Yet Zhou Yu, an existence who had become Immortal for only about two hundred years, had already reached the King-Sealing Invincible level. It was truly absurd.

Thinking this, Feather Array King took the initiative to fly over.

"Zhou Yu, thank you for this. I didn't expect your strength to improve so much after receiving the inheritance. It seems my previous offer was too low," Feather Array King said.

"The price you offered was to get rid of the three pursuers. Burning my divine body to kill them was my own decision," Zhou Yu smiled and didn't say much more.

Hearing this, Feather Array King nodded and said, "What is your bank account number? 50 billion Hunyuan Units—I will transfer the money to you in a moment."

"It is &&T*6t," Zhou Yu recited his account number, and at the same time, he asked with curiosity:

"However, why were those three Demon Race King-Sealings hunting you down?"

"Of course, if it involves secrets, you don't have to say anything," Zhou Yu added.

"I believe that with your strength, Zhou Yu, you wouldn't care for a small secret of mine," Feather Array King smiled slightly and waved her hand.

Suddenly, a pitch-black, three-eyed Universe-level lifeform appeared there.

"Is this... a Dark Radiance Race lifeform?" Zhou Yu asked, quite surprised.

"Yes. Dark Radiance Race lifeforms are rock-based entities. They once developed an extremely prosperous civilization on the Dark Continent, but after this place became a battlefield for the four major factions, their civilization dissipated," Feather Array King explained.

"However, the way Dark Radiance Race lifeforms reproduce is quite unique. They are born within Dark Radiance Stone veins. Generally speaking, only veins with a purity exceeding seventy-five percent have the potential to gestate one. Therefore, discovering a Dark Radiance Race lifeform on the Dark Continent basically means discovering a high-purity mineral vein."

"No wonder," Zhou Yu nodded, saying nothing more.

A single Dark Radiance Race lifeform could indeed represent a massive mineral vein; it was understandable why the three King-Sealing limit experts of the Demon Race were being so relentless.

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not ask further, Feather Array King felt a secret sigh of relief.

This Dark Radiance Race lifeform had already been enslaved by her, and she had learned much from it; the creature was no ordinary member of its race.

If that were not the case, she would never have chosen to clash head-on with those three King-Sealing limit experts to the very end.

After all, if her luck were poor, the mineral vein she found with the help of this Dark Radiance Race lifeform might not even recoup the 5 billion Hunyuan Units she had spent this time, let alone the fact that two of her five King-Sealing servants had been wiped out, and the remaining three had burned their divine bodies—restoring them quickly would require another massive expenditure.

This Zhou Yu's strength is too formidable. If not for the fact that my own strength is severely depleted, cooperating with him once wouldn't be out of the question, Feather Array King shook her head inwardly.

Even though they were both human King-Sealing experts, she dared not trust Zhou Yu too much. If he were to strike from the shadows, she would have no power to resist.

Zhou Yu did not say much more to Feather Array King, and he soon departed.

Strike while the iron is hot. Since his strength had greatly increased, it would be best to kill more powerhouses on the Outer Battlefield and immediately start the next simulation!
