Small Transcendent World

As Zhou Zheng was thinking, another wave suddenly descended. A vast amount of mission information instantly appeared in the minds of the four of them.

Mission background: Half a day ago, the corpse of a Special Lifeform that had drifted through a Space Fold for an unknown length of time suddenly fell into a Small Transcendent World near the Imperial Emperor Material World. The commotion caused by the Special Lifeform Corpse's arrival drew the attention of multiple factions within this Small Transcendent World, and a struggle over the Special Lifeform Corpse had already begun.

Mission requirements: Seize the Special Lifeform Corpse, which has already been divided into countless pieces. Obtain at least thirty percent of it. Within one month, the more of the Special Lifeform Corpse obtained, the greater the reward.

"Another Material Realm, and this mission is actually rated Danger-level!" After reading the mission details, Herk's face immediately fell.

Wasn't this targeting him?

Material Worlds were already unfriendly to him, and this was a Danger-level Mission with a fifty percent mortality rate. The Temporal Temple was practically trying to get him killed!

"This mission isn't in a mortal world, but in a Small Transcendent World. You should count yourself lucky!" Feng Zhuhong said indifferently.

Hearing this, Herk did not argue. It truly was a blessing amid misfortune.

A Transcendent World was a Small World with incomplete laws that formed near a complete mortal world within the Material Realm.

Because its laws were incomplete, the power of the world Origin manifested outwardly. Transcendent materials that were almost nonexistent in mortal worlds could be found everywhere in such worlds.

That was why these worlds were called Transcendent Worlds.

Transcendent Worlds were further divided into small and large types.

Among them, Small Worlds could not accommodate Demigods due to their limited scale.

In other words, even if Herk's identity were exposed, and even if there were Demigods in the nearby mortal world who hated Demons to the bone, they would be unable to enter this world directly to kill him.

"Captain, you're a Bronze Token Divine Envoy. You should have obtained additional intelligence, right?" Herk looked at Zhou Zheng.

"At present, the strongest lifeform in this Transcendent World should be a Native Transcendent from this world named Shockwave. A Saint level transcendent who has grasped Fourth-grade True Meaning—the Wave Domain True Meaning!" Zhou Zheng said before continuing, "However, we can trust this intelligence ninety percent, but not completely. If someone broke through in their True Meaning and then kept it hidden, the Temporal Temple would be unable to detect it either!"

"A native Saint level transcendent who has grasped Fourth-grade True Meaning..."

The other three did not pay much attention to Zhou Zheng's latter warning, but they could not afford to ignore that Native Transcendent.

Native lifeforms of Transcendent Worlds usually possessed some kind of innate talent and were already more troublesome than Saint level transcendent of the same rank. On top of that, this one had grasped Fourth-grade True Meaning.

It could be said that among the four present, aside from Zhou Zheng, any of them would find it difficult to put up even the slightest resistance if they encountered this Transcendent.

At that moment, the newly arrived teammate Mo Zitong suddenly asked, "Captain, what should we do?"

"Once the mission officially begins, gather intelligence first," Zhou Zheng said directly. "Matters within a Transcendent World generally cannot be transmitted out through Alchemy Bracelets, so we must find out whether anyone has left this Small Transcendent World and brought news of what happened here outside."

"The captain is right. Whether news from here has spread makes a huge difference!" Feng Zhuhong nodded slightly.

If no one had taken the news out, then they only needed to compete with the people who had originally been in this Small Transcendent World.

Normally, apart from the local Native Transcendents, a Small Transcendent World would at most have a handful of Transcendents who had come here to explore.

But if the news had spread, the situation would become complicated.

There were too many powerful figures in a complete mortal world. Even if Demigods could not enter, extremely powerful Saint level transcendent might very well arrive.

And there might be more than one!

The four discussed matters for a while, but because there was too much unknown information regarding this mission, they could only roughly determine a direction of action for now. They had no concrete plan.

Buzz!

As the time flow around the four, which had been accelerated to the extreme, returned to normal, Zhou Zheng and the others suddenly appeared on a hillside.

The instant the four arrived, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar.

Upon hearing it, all four were immediately startled.

After pondering briefly, Zhou Zheng said, "Let's take a look!"

"Yes!"

The other three immediately agreed.

Rather than approaching directly, the four boarded Feng Zhuhong's Alchemy Flying Boat and flew over.

According to Feng Zhuhong, her Alchemy Flying Boat contained some Transcendent materials and arrays designed for concealment. As long as they did not get too close, it could deceive a large number of Transcendents to some extent.

Of course, if they encountered a Transcendent who had grasped mysteries suited for detection, the flying boat would be completely useless!

Whoosh!

The flying boat sped into the distance. Before long, the four saw three four-armed lifeforms pursuing and trying to kill a rather young-looking Transcendent.

Though that Transcendent looked young, his strength was quite formidable.

The three chasing him were likely Native Transcendents. All three possessed special talents and were extremely powerful.

Yet despite facing three enemies alone, he was only slightly at a disadvantage.

"Captain, what do we do?" Herk asked.

"The one being chased should be a Transcendent from a mortal world. Keep him and ask him about a few things," Zhou Zheng said after a brief consideration. "As for the other three Native Transcendents, I'll use Time Deceleration to assist Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong. The two of you attack. After making them leave behind all their treasures, Herk, you'll step in and save them!"

"Captain, you mean for me to infiltrate the Native Transcendents?" Herk's expression changed slightly.

"Factions from mortal worlds will be hostile toward you because of your identity as a Demon, but Native Transcendents may not be. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. You can absolutely become friends with the Native Transcendents," Zhou Zheng said. "What's more, you'll have saved three Native Transcendents."

"This... Can't I just stay with the team?" Herk hesitated.

"We'll be dealing with Transcendents from the local mortal world afterward. If you can guarantee that you won't expose yourself, you can stay with us. But once you're exposed, I won't care about you," Zhou Zheng said calmly.

Hearing this, Herk fell silent. But after carefully weighing his options, he ultimately decided to follow Zhou Zheng's command.

"Move!"

Zhou Zheng suddenly spoke. The next moment, Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong, who had been hidden inside the Alchemy Flying Boat, abruptly flew out.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng appeared atop the Alchemy Flying Boat.

"What?"

The sudden appearance of the three startled the four people tangled in battle in the distance.

At that moment, Zhou Zheng suddenly raised a hand. In an instant, the four felt everything slow down.
