A Powerful Aura from the Other End of the Universe

Twenty-five years...

No!

Counting the three years on Planet Vegeta, it had been a full twenty-eight years!

If not for the fact that he had already transmigrated twice, if not for the way he kept warning himself and giving himself hope, if not for the fact that he had been constantly growing stronger, and if not for having a clear goal and direction to move forward... he would have gone insane long ago.

Now, this latest disappointment left Ron in a state of utter turmoil.

He could see his own achievements.

But being trapped on this primitive planet with nothing, being the only human, was truly agonizing.

Even if there were animals on this planet he could communicate with, talking to animals only served to ensure his language skills didn't atrophy.

After a long while, Ron finally managed to calm his turbulent emotions.

Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to rely on himself to become stronger and then escape this planet.

Truth be told, Ron had actually already mastered the skill of Instant Transmission.

The only reason he still couldn't leave was that his strength wasn't enough, and his sensory perception wasn't strong enough.

His current sensory range could indeed extend beyond this planet; in fact, now that he had transformed into a Super Saiyan, he could fully cover the surrounding few galaxies.

However, there were simply no life-bearing planets in the galaxies near this one, so there were no targets to assist him in spatial jumping.

It was like a dead end, impossible to transcend.

As for chanting the true names of supreme beings to summon them...

Ron had tried that too, and he had experienced what it meant for the air to suddenly go quiet.

Perhaps they had heard him and knew of his existence, but why would they bother with him?

It was like a god; why would one care about a mere mortal?

Just as a person would never care about an ant stopping beside them for a moment to look up.

"For now, I can only continue to cultivate and become stronger. I must reach the Full Power state of the Super Saiyan first stage as quickly as possible, and I must try my best to expand my sensory range even further. I refuse to believe it! One day, I will definitely be able to leave this cage!" Muttering to himself, Ron sat cross-legged on the mountaintop.

Honestly, whenever he got stuck on this point, Ron couldn't help but review the life he had lived in his previous existence in Swallowed Star.

If only he had died after the Earth arc, around the time of the Universe Genius Battle, he could have accessed much more cosmic knowledge and borrowed more cultivation techniques from his younger brother, the protagonist, Luo Feng.

If he had known more cultivation methods, he wouldn't have had to spend all these years relying solely on the 99 Soul Forging Technique and the 9 Refinement Body Technique, which were only meant for the Planetary level.

It was fortunate that this was the Dragon Ball world; not only did it not reject these cultivation methods, but the effects were even better when practicing them here.

Combined with the cultivation methods he already knew, he had used the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Cultivation Method to simulate a basic method for cultivating Ki; otherwise, he never would have achieved what he had today.

Regret was useless; now, he could only sigh.

To be honest, when Ron first transmigrated and was reborn as a Saiyan, he had fantasized that he might be able to grow to an absolutely powerful level according to the plot, and perhaps even make a triumphant return to the Swallowed Star world.

Even if he only grew as strong as Majin Buu in the late Z era, he would still be an incredibly powerful existence within Swallowed Star.

If the timelines of the two worlds were synchronized, he would only need to spend a few decades drifting before he could go back and crush his younger brother, the protagonist.

After all, a few decades in the mid-to-late stages of Swallowed Star were worth very little; in a few decades, Luo Feng should still only be at the Universe level.

In other words, the current him could absolutely crush the Luo Feng of 2088.

After all, he had died in 2060.

Although Ron didn't remember the timeline of the original Swallowed Star perfectly, he still had a rough impression.

Luo Feng breaking through from the Universe level to the Domain Lord level happened two hundred years after the Earth arc.

And him reaching the World Lord level was something that happened nearly three or four thousand years later.

He took a deep breath, exhaling the stagnant air from his chest.

Ron steadied his mind, cast aside distracting thoughts, and prepared to close his eyes to contemplate the realm of the Super Saiyan.

Just at this moment.

A surge of...

No!

Two powerful auras suddenly transmitted over, entering his sensory range.

The sudden situation made Ron's spirit soar; he stood up abruptly, his mouth hanging open in shock.

"This, this is?!"

Damn it, it had been a full twenty-five years!

This was the first time he had sensed an aura from outside this planet, and it was incredibly powerful, too.

It was coming from the other side of a very distant galaxy.

"Could it really be such a coincidence? Just as I was breaking through, these two auras happened to erupt as well, allowing me to catch them!"

Incredible, a pleasant surprise!

The next instant, Ron's expression turned serious.

Now was not the time to be stunned by excitement.

If he didn't seize this opportunity to use Instant Transmission for a spatial jump, he would likely miss his chance.

He didn't know what the situation was on the other side.

But one thing was certain: those two auras were currently locked in battle.

One was slightly weaker, while the other was far more powerful!

"Heaven truly never closes all doors! This time, I can finally reach another planet that sustains life!"

Muttering to himself, Ron raised his right hand, pressed his index and middle fingers against his forehead, and began to lock onto the targets with all his might.

It was too far!

The distance was far beyond anything he had imagined.

If not for the fact that these two auras were clashing violently and radiating outward, allowing him to track them through his ki sense, he would have missed this opportunity yet again.

Not long after, once Ron had truly locked onto the two auras, he didn't hesitate. Without a shred of reluctance, he immediately executed Instant Transmission to perform a point-to-point spatial jump.

Was he afraid?

Don't make him laugh. He had, after all, become a Super Saiyan; in this era, how many beings could actually pose a threat to him?

Besides, these two auras were quite weak from his perspective!

Even in his base form, he could crush them.

At this very moment.

On the other side of the universe.

On a verdant green planet.

Two powerful auras were colliding head-on.

Two figures darted and weaved across the landscape, engaged in a fierce, bone-crunching hand-to-hand brawl.

One of them wore an orange martial arts gi, his hair styled like a crab, his features sharp and handsome.

The other had a bizarre physique, resembling an alien clown; it was none other than the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, in his final form.

This was Namek, and Son Goku was locked in a final, desperate battle against him.

"Ohohoho~! You wild monkey certainly has some weight to him; you are indeed much stronger than Little Vegeta, but it's a pity—that is all you amount to." As a wave of combat subsided, Frieza looked down at Son Goku from above, speaking in a mocking tone.
