Invincible Above and Below

"Very good. Not a single living creature remains."

Lu Yunhe looked at the Pyramid before him. The entire Pyramid was merely an energy tower, with a steel base beneath it.

"Descend!"

Lu Yunhe transformed into a crimson Light Sphere and shot straight toward the underside of the Pyramid.

There was no need to circle around and search for an entrance through the pit. Having Turned to Light, Ultraman passed directly through the thick earth. After brushing against the underground steel city and meeting slight resistance, he burst straight into the base.

The entire base was silent and dim. There was no response whatsoever to Lu Yunhe's arrival.

"It's not just that everyone died. Even the entire mining base has stopped operating."

Turning back from a Light Sphere into Ultraman, Lu Yunhe casually formed an oversized, high-powered Light Sphere to illuminate himself, while also using Ultraman Psychic Power to scan the entire base.

Perhaps because the Moon's minerals were of too little value, the abandoned miners had lacked much ability to resist. As a result, the entire mining base remained incredibly crude, without the slightest feeling of being a metal city.

"Found it!"

Under the search of his Mental Power, Lu Yunhe quickly found the warehouse where the minerals were stored.

Bang!

With one punch, he shattered the metal door and entered the warehouse where the raw materials were stored.

"So little!"

Lu Yunhe swiftly scanned it. There was not much extracted Blue Gold metal; most of it was raw metal ore that still required further refining.

"After discovering they couldn't contact the outside world, they completely lost any desire to work!"

Lu Yunhe marked the warehouse's location before continuing his search through the base.

Aside from this warehouse, Lu Yunhe found another one. However, the most valuable thing there was still only Blue Gold metal. There were no higher-grade metal minerals.

"No wonder this Moon base was so half-hearted. So it can only mine Blue Gold, huh?"

Lu Yunhe shook his head. Although the Black Iron on neighboring Mars was also A-grade metal like Blue Gold, Black Iron ore veins could yield higher-grade Black Iron Essence and Black Iron Mother two grades above that. Their value was completely different.

But Blue Gold ore veins would most likely only contain this one metal, without any higher-grade evolved product.

(A-grade corresponded to Planetary Level, B-grade to Stellar level, C-grade to Cosmic level, D-grade to Domain Lord level, E-grade to World Lord level...)

"Anyway, it's for humanity's current use. This is good enough."

The Ultraman Avatar did not think much of these metals. They were not even as hard as his fists.

"The Ultraman Avatar has just entered Planetary Level Sixth-Order. At this realm, its Mental Power exceeds 32 million kilograms. With the Tenfold Gene, that becomes over 320 million kilograms—more than 320,000 tons of force."

Lu Yunhe silently calculated. He definitely could not haul cargo according to the maximum carrying capacity. He also had to consider time, dangers along the way, and so on... But most importantly, the rocket's internal space did not seem very large.

"Still, there seems to be no need to bring so much back!"

Lu Yunhe considered the future. If he truly made a move, he could wipe out every Planetary Level Monster on Earth in a short time.

But what would happen after the monster crisis was resolved? He had merely relied on his cheat to push his strength beyond the level of Earth's civilization in a short time. He had no ability whatsoever to lead the entire civilization forward and ascend.

And once humans became idle, without external pressure or motivation to advance, they could easily do some foolish things.

"Without intervention from higher civilizations, most planetary civilizations are basically trapped to death within their stellar systems."

However, Lu Yunhe had the Ultraman Avatar. After Turning to Light, it could enter the Dark Universe, making it practically a humanoid spacecraft. Still, it would need to reach Stellar level before it could sustain the energy expenditure.

"Once the Ultraman Avatar reaches Stellar level, I'll send it into the universe to adventure, while the main body stays on Earth to preserve its life."

As for the most crucial Yunmo Star inheritance on Earth, Lu Yunhe was honestly quite tempted by those inheritances and resources, but he did not particularly like Demon Babata.

It was not that he had any ill feelings toward it. It was simply because of his cheat that he did not want a fully developed Intelligent Life following him around. It would be better to cultivate one himself.

After all, even when Luo Feng had grown strong enough to resurrect Hu Yanbo in the original work, Babata still remained loyal to its old master.

The Virtual Universe Company's Genius Battle was not far away, so Lu Yunhe would definitely participate. It was also the best opportunity to rise in one step and directly enter the core of the universe's human race.

There were certainly other methods, but participating in the Genius Battle was obviously more free. Most importantly, it did not require a long wait. If the Genius Battle were more than a century away, he would not consider it at all.

"Until the Genius Battle, I'll comprehend laws while cultivating a new avatar."

As for Earth's development, before it could officially enter the universe, it should maintain the purity of its civilization as much as possible.

As someone who had read the original work, Lu Yunhe knew very clearly where Earthlings' advantages lay. Therefore, before entering the great melting pot of the universe, he had to cultivate humanity's advantages as much as possible.

"In that case, I only need to bring back a little less Blue Gold metal. The rocket doesn't have much internal space anyway."

As for the Blue Gold metal left in the Pyramid base, humanity could slowly develop Moon-landing rockets and retrieve it themselves. It could count as a small goal he set for humanity.

Rumble...

Thunderous booms rang through the base. On the way in, he only needed to Turn to Light, but on the way out, with dozens of cubic meters of metal in tow, he could only leave through the passageway.

Along the way, Lu Yunhe flew with the metal while expanding his Realm, condensing light into blades to divide the already-cut Blue Gold metal once more. Otherwise, it would not fit into the rocket's cargo hold.

"I don't produce metal. I'm merely a transporter of metal!"

Lu Yunhe closed the hatch. With the assistance of Earth's staff, he ignited the fuel while using Mental Power as propulsion, sending the rocket into space once again.

As for the Blue Gold metal inside the rocket, it was held aloft by Lu Yunhe's Mental Power the entire time, while the miniature planet within his body released a magnetic field to offset the forces acting upon it.

"I thought I could train my Mental Power a little, but I forgot there's almost no gravity in space."

After leaving the Moon, the metal blocks wrapped in Mental Power became light and floaty, because they had already entered space.

After flying through space for several days, the rocket was once again caught by Earth's gravity.

"Finally!"

Once it was close to Earth, the rest became much simpler. All-powerful Mental Power wrapped around the entire rocket and guided it toward the target landing site.

Whoosh!

Just as Lu Yunhe entered the clouds, a Planetary Level Sky-Rending Winged Dragon suddenly charged toward the rocket at extreme speed.

Watching the fiery sphere fall from the sky, deep wariness flashed through the Sky-Rending Winged Dragon's humanlike eyes. The Planetary Level Monsters on Earth all knew of Lu Yunhe's appearance. He was the mortal enemy of monsters.

The monsters had not reacted in time when the rocket launched last time, but this rocket's descent was different. This Sky-Rending Winged Dragon had been patrolling the skies during this period, waiting for this opportunity.

Although Lu Yunhe was powerful, the sky was the territory of flying monsters like them.

Roar...

The Sky-Rending Winged Dragon pushed its speed to the limit, as though the entire sky itself were being torn apart.

"Courting death!"

A cold voice echoed in the Sky-Rending Winged Dragon's mind. Then endless radiance filled its entire world.

"It's the King of the Sky!"

When the Sky-Rending Winged Dragon appeared, the people on the ground also recognized it as a King-Level Monster. Jia Yi, who had stepped into Planetary Level, immediately flew into the sky.

At this stage, if the kings of the sea were generals commanding countless troops, then the kings of the sky were assassins that came and went without a trace.

But before Jia Yi could make any move, flames and radiance filled the entire sky.

Amid the flames and radiance, Lu Yunhe appeared before Jia Yi, invincible as he held the King of the Sky in one hand and carried Heaven's Gate on his back with the other.

"Jia Yi..."
