"The Star Ripple Secret Realm is 3.25 million light-years away from us. It'll take nineteen days to arrive."

In the Dark Universe, the Dragon Abyss spaceship flew at tremendous speed.

The New Longyuan was an E2-class spaceship, with a top speed of six times the speed of light.

The second-generation Dragon Abyss would have needed fifty-seven days to get there.

Nineteen days passed in a flash.

"Master, we'll reach the Turbid Abyss Continent in another two hours."

Feiluan reminded him from beside him.

"Got it."

Chu Yuan nodded.

He took out plenty of fine food and wine, eating and drinking his fill so he could go treasure hunting in the best possible condition.

Soon, two hours passed. The Dragon Abyss spaceship decelerated to a standstill and returned to the Primal Universe, entering the Star Ripple Secret Realm.

"The Origin Energy inside the secret realm really is denser than outside."

Through the exterior view's 100% simulation, Chu Yuan clearly saw the celestial formations inside the Star Ripple Secret Realm.

The planets here were generally larger than those outside, because the Origin Energy in a Cosmic Secret Realm was denser.

That was precisely why all kinds of rare treasures could be born within secret realms.

Looking into the distance, Chu Yuan saw a fleet of over twenty spaceships on his left accelerating away from the Dragon Abyss.

Feiluan laughed beside him. "At least these people have discerning eyes. They know to keep clear of us."

Chu Yuan folded his arms and said calmly, "Generally, only World Lords can afford E2-class spaceships. Ordinary Star Level and Universe Level people are naturally frightened when they see one."

Now, Chu Yuan could use an E2-class spaceship without any reservations.

The major powers of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield all knew he had a Peak World Lord teacher backing him.

No World Lord so blind to the situation would come to steal an E2-class spaceship.

As for Domain Lords, either they would not dare, or, even if they dared to rob him, Chu Yuan still had a D9-class laser gun to protect himself.

Even if the D9-class laser gun could not kill the other party, a Domain Lord could not possibly breach an E2-class spaceship either. It was more than enough to keep him safe.

The flagship of the fleet fleeing into the distance was a D1-class spaceship.

Inside its main control room, a white-haired young man kept patting his chest, panting heavily with lingering fear.

"They didn't follow us, did they?"

A middle-aged Universe Level man behind him glanced at the star chart and nodded. "Rest assured, Seventh Prince. They didn't follow us. They're heading in a different direction."

"Good, good."

The white-haired young man sat on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"What the hell? Why would a World Lord come to the Star Ripple Secret Realm? Is the trash here worth a World Lord coming to pick up?"

The white-haired young man could not understand it.

The middle-aged Universe Level man shook his head. "The person aboard probably isn't a World Lord. They could be a junior favored by some World Lord, or a junior favored by an Immortal Expert."

The young man snapped coldly, "Whoever they are, the farther we stay from them, the better. We can't afford to offend someone like that."

He was merely a prince of a low-level civilization, and his imperial father was only a Domain Lord Seventh Stage warrior.

If he offended someone with such a powerful background, the first person who would want to kill him would be his own imperial father.

Located in the central region of the Star Ripple Secret Realm, the Turbid Abyss Continent was an enormous planet measuring 10.5 billion kilometers in diameter, even larger than the universe's red supergiants.

"Although it can't compare to the Blood Luo Continent, with its diameter of one light-year, it's still big enough."

The Dragon Abyss spaceship hovered in outer space above the Turbid Abyss Continent, smaller than a speck of dust.

"The data shows that the Turbid Abyss Continent's natives detest outsiders. Once they discover any, they'll attack without hesitation."

Feiluan reminded him from beside him, "There are also other adventurers. They're even more dangerous than the natives and will stop at nothing to seize treasures."

"Besides that, we also need to watch out for the ferocious beasts on the Turbid Abyss Continent. Those beasts are savage and bloodthirsty, and Universe Level beasts are by no means rare among them."

"I know."

Chu Yuan was very vigilant. He never underestimated any opponent, nor was he ever arrogant or conceited.

The Dragon Abyss spaceship plunged into the Turbid Abyss Continent's atmosphere, which was extremely thick and yellowish-red.

"Master, a flock of Bat Eagles has appeared ahead, numbering over five hundred. Two of them are Universe Level Sixth Order Bat Eagles. Estimated collision in five minutes and twenty-nine seconds."

The spaceship's screen displayed the flock of Bat Eagles, hideously ugly beasts that resembled a combination of bats and eagles.

Bat Eagles only had hair on their heads, necks, and backs. Their wings, bellies, and other parts were bare, and they let out piercing, grating cries as they flew.

A single cry from a Universe Level Sixth Order Bat Eagle could kill a low-ranking Universe Level warrior with its vibrations.

"Activate the railgun. Fire at one percent power."

Chu Yuan gave the order.

"Understood."

Feiluan operated the spaceship, opening its dome. A menacing railgun extended out, a faint blue glow slowly gathering at its muzzle.

"Three, two, one, fire!"

After charging for three seconds, a blue laser screamed out, tearing through the yellowish-red atmosphere and striking the approaching flock of Bat Eagles.

Pfft!

The two Universe Level Sixth Order Bat Eagles, along with over a hundred Star Level Bat Eagles, were instantly vaporized. The remaining Bat Eagles scattered in terror.

The Dragon Abyss spaceship continued straight ahead, unimpeded.

Soon, the Dragon Abyss landed on a stretch of Gobi desert on the Turbid Abyss Continent. Chu Yuan walked out of the hatch with six Universe Level 8 bodyguards.

"The gravity is so strong-about eighteen hundred times the universe's standard gravity."

After taking some time to adjust, Chu Yuan put away the Dragon Abyss spaceship and looked ahead.

"The opportunity is in the Heavenly River Mountain Range, thirty thousand kilometers to the southwest."

Feiluan's eyes glowed as she displayed a three-dimensional map, with the optimal route already marked on it.

"Master, there's something I forgot to mention. There are also several four-star opportunities not far from the six-star opportunity."

Chu Yuan smiled and nodded. "If we can take them, we'll pick them up along the way."

Four-star opportunities were worth only a hundred billion Ganwu Coins on average, and at most no more than five billion Universe Coins. To Chu Yuan, that was merely small change.

But if he could pick them up along the way, he did not mind. Even the smallest mosquito was still meat.

The seven of them flew at tremendous speed when Feiluan suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Without hesitation, all seven immediately descended and concealed themselves in a forest.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Yuan questioned Feiluan while the six bodyguards swept their sharp gazes over the surroundings, on guard against enemies.

The three spirit readers released their Spiritual Force, probing their surroundings inch by inch.

"There's activity up ahead."

Feiluan displayed a screen showing four Universe Level experts fighting.

"The natives are hunting down an adventurer."

Chu Yuan could tell at a glance that one of the four Universe Level combatants was an adventurer, while the other three were natives.

All three natives were Universe Level Fourth Rank, while the adventurer was Cosmic Level Fifth Order.

Fighting one against three, the adventurer had a slight edge in strength, but could do nothing to the natives.

"Damn it, these natives are really hard to shake."

The adventurer was a heavily bearded man. His expression was grim, and he could not help cursing under his breath, growing more anxious as the battle dragged on.

He did not dare fight for long at all. He only wanted to break free as quickly as possible.

But the three natives were like rabid dogs, their jaws clamped firmly onto him, refusing to let him leave.

"It's too late. The natives have discovered him. Someone stronger will arrive soon."

No sooner had Feiluan finished speaking than a burning fireball fell from the sky.

The fireball struck the ground, blasting out a deep crater, and a burly red-haired man walked out of the flames.

Feiluan provided information on the target's strength: he was actually Universe Level 9.

"Invader from beyond the heavens, die!"

The burly red-haired man roared and charged toward the adventurer, a large iron hammer appearing in his hand.

He suddenly rushed behind the bearded man and swung his hammer at the back of his head.

"No!!!"

The bearded man turned, terror welling in his eyes. He wanted to evade the hammer, but it was far too fast. He could not dodge it at all.
