Mysterious Sensation

Qi Yuan unleashed his movement technique, and his entire body seemed to transform into a streak of purple lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he broke free of the encirclement of the Universe Level experts and landed on a massive fragment of land in the distance.

"Whoosh~"

Seeing him escape, Dong Yu and the others stopped tangling with their enemies and swiftly retreated to his side.

"Come on, brother, are you sure you understood what I said before? Didn't we agree to keep a low profile?"

There was a trace of resentment in Dong Yu's gaze as he looked at Qi Yuan.

Did this brother think keeping a low profile meant charging alone at more than a dozen enemies whose realms were no weaker than his, sword in hand?

"But brother, you're seriously fierce. You even cut down a Fourth Stage Universe Level Psychic Master in one strike. No wonder you're a genius recruited by the Virtual Universe Company. But shouldn't a genius like you have entered the Virtual Universe Company's internal ranks? How are you still an external member?"

Dong Yu's mind was full of doubts, but before he could say anything else, Brother Yuan beside him solemnly reminded him.

"Stop talking. Quickly find the experts from your Imperial Sea Pavilion. We need to move closer to them!"

As they spoke, they saw that the dozen or so Universe Level experts who had been forced back earlier were once again closing in on them.

Quite a few people farther away also spotted the treasure falling into their hands and rapidly approached.

Treasures stirred people's hearts!

Although Qi Yuan had just killed Gongsun Bai of the Thousand Blade Sect in a single move, displaying extraordinary combat power, he was only at the First Stage Universe Level.

Yet at least dozens of Universe Level experts were closing in around them, including Fifth Stage and Sixth Stage Universe Level experts!

With the temptation of treasure and an overwhelming advantage in numbers, naturally no one would back down so easily!

The moment Dong Yu saw the situation, he immediately reacted.

"Right, right, hurry, let me see. Ah, over there. Brother Qian is closer to us. Quick, let's go!"

As for the treasure they had obtained?

What nonsense. It would have been one thing if they had failed to seize it, but now that it was in their hands, how could they possibly hand it over?

"Go!"

Dong Yu called out and took the lead, flying swiftly toward another meteor fragment not far from them.

At the same time, on that meteor fragment, a green-scaled man with a vertical eye on his forehead and a black Force Long Staff in hand received Dong Yu's voice transmission. His eyes lit up, and after driving back the opponent before him with a powerful staff strike, he rapidly drew closer to them.

"They're trying to run!"

"You want to leave? Leave the treasure behind first!"

"Stop right there!"

The instant Qi Yuan and the others moved, the dozens of Universe Level experts nearby who had been drawn over by the Golden Paper were immediately alerted.

The Universe Level experts no longer dared hesitate and instantly attacked them one after another!

Streams of saber light, sword shadows, Psionic Weapons, and more frantically descended upon Qi Yuan and the others, nearly sealing off all room for their retreat.

"You go first!"

Qi Yuan shouted softly, but his entire body instantly transformed into a streak of lightning as he charged toward the front right.

In the process, he had already merged a trace of Law Artistic Conception into his movement technique.

In the world of his previous life, lightning had always represented the ultimate speed in the world!

Now, merely incorporating a trace of Artistic Conception caused his entire figure to become hazy and unpredictable.

"Chi~"

Like a flash of lightning, Qi Yuan's figure instantly appeared before a Fourth Stage Universe Level expert with three sharp horns growing from his head.

"Damn it, why are you coming at me?!"

That three-horned Universe Level expert had just witnessed Qi Yuan kill Gongsun Bai in a single strike, so he naturally did not dare let down his guard.

"Help me!"

He hurriedly shouted. At the same time, Golden Light erupted from the enormous spiked club in his right hand as he swung it fiercely at Qi Yuan's charging figure!

Yet just as the enormous spiked club was about to strike him, Qi Yuan's body twisted along a bizarre angular path like a crooked bolt of lightning.

"Pfft!"

The Soul Extinguishing Saber swept out like lightning, and a massive head with three sharp horns was instantly sent flying.

Qi Yuan's figure, meanwhile, drew a crooked afterimage. After forcing back five or six Third and Fourth Stage Universe Level enemies with a single slash and exchanging a savage blow with a Fifth Stage Universe Level expert, he used the recoil to retreat in an instant.

While he drew the attention of all the enemies, Dong Yu and the others had already avoided the encirclement of the rest and sprinted madly toward the vertical-eyed green-scaled man.

"Haha, whoever dares lay a hand on members of my Imperial Sea Pavilion, get the hell out of here!"

As the green-scaled man likewise moved toward them, he released his fierce Eighth Stage Universe Level aura without restraint!

Struck by that Powerful Aura, the group of Universe Level experts who had been surrounding Dong Yu and the others could not help hesitating and slowing down.

"Damn, it's Qian Lao Liu of the Imperial Sea Pavilion!"

"Looks like this treasure isn't meant for us. Those bastards from the Imperial Sea Pavilion are getting off easy!"

"Let's withdraw. Damn it, we worked for nothing again."

The hunters, most of whom were at the Second or Third Stage Universe Level, with the stronger ones at the Fourth or Fifth Stage, quickly dispersed with unwilling expressions and turned to rush toward other battlefields.

Among the more than three thousand Universe Level experts in the entire spatially weak region, there were definitely no more than fifty whose strength had reached the Eighth Stage Universe Level.

Trying to snatch food from the jaws of such an expert was clearly unrealistic. They might as well try their luck elsewhere.

Here, the green-scaled man quickly met up with Dong Yu and the others.

"Hahaha, Brother Dong Yu, you lot are quite lucky. You managed to seize a treasure less than a day after arriving!"

Though the green-scaled man appeared to be speaking to Dong Yu, his gaze kept drifting uncontrollably toward Qi Yuan.

His position had not been far from Qi Yuan and the others earlier, so he had naturally witnessed Qi Yuan's single-saber kill of Gongsun Bai from the Thousand Blade Sect and his acquisition of the Golden Paper treasure.

First Stage Universe Level, killing a Fourth Stage Universe Level expert in one strike!

Even in the eyes of a veteran Universe Level expert like him, that was an absolutely shocking feat!

Perhaps only powerful geniuses from the various Universe Countries, or even the five colossal powers, could achieve such a thing!

"Haha, Brother Qian, we have you to thank for lending us a hand this time!"

Dong Yu smiled at the green-scaled man. Seeing his gaze repeatedly fall on Qi Yuan, he introduced him.

"By the way, Brother Qian, this is Brother Yuan from the external ranks of the Virtual Universe Company. Brother Yuan is under Elder Bu Chen's jurisdiction in the Virtual Universe Company's external division. Speaking of which, we're practically family!"

As he spoke, he deliberately emphasized one point—

"Besides, Brother Yuan was the one who seized that treasure this time. The rest of us didn't contribute anything at all."

"Oh? So he's a genius from the Virtual Universe Company. No wonder he could kill two Fourth Stage Universe Level experts across realms in succession."

Brother Qian, the green-scaled man, nodded as though suddenly enlightened, yet he was very tactful and did not mention the treasure again.

"Brother Dong Yu, Brother Yuan, this round of fighting will probably continue for quite some time. For now, you can act together with me."

"Ah? That would be wonderful, Brother Qian. If we can follow you, our safety will be guaranteed!"

Dong Yu hurriedly agreed.

Qi Yuan had no intention of refusing either.

More than three thousand Universe Level experts had Gathered in this region. Acting alone truly felt somewhat lonely.

"Alright."

Yet just as he was about to agree, an intense thought filled with endless trembling and yearning suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Master, key, tower, summon."
