With the strength of the Demon Hammer Squad, they could practically roam freely on this Yellow Sand Island, so everyone was relatively relaxed.
The spaceship continued to fly over the Yellow Sand Island at sub-light speed.
" Yellow Sand Island has a maximum diameter of over 1 trillion kilometers. Although it harbors a large number of Alien Race enemies, it is not easy to find overall."
Captain Demon Hammer King chuckled, "However, the detection equipment I carry is definitely top-tier on this Yellow Sand Island, making things much easier than on the Main Continent."
On the Main Continent, there are quite a few beings whose strength rivals or even surpasses that of the Demon Hammer King, so discovering enemies is not so easy.
On this Yellow Sand Island, the strongest beings are only about a dozen Marquis Immortal. With the Demon Hammer King's detector, finding enemies will be much easier.
On the battlefield, taking the initiative is crucial.
In Outer Domain Battlefield, almost all teams would certainly possess detection equipment.
I can discover yours, but yours cannot discover mine; thus, I naturally gain the upper hand.
In this respect, humans are ahead of almost all other races; only the Machine Race can suppress human powerhouses.
When the spacecraft is flying over Yellow Sand Island, it can clearly observe the situation within a range of 500 million kilometers through detection instruments.
Before long, everyone focused their attention.
"Captain, target spotted."
"There are battle fluctuations fifty million kilometers directly in front of us!" The sleepy red-haired girl, Heavenly Sound, suddenly sharpened her gaze and said in an icy voice.
She had seemed listless before, but suddenly became full of fighting spirit. This illusionist girl is quite interesting.
"Oh? It's a battle between powerful figures from other factions. It seems to be a Marquis Immortal from another race fighting against an Ordinary Immortal from the Alien Race Demon Race. It looks like that Ordinary Immortal from the Demon Race is about to self-destruct!" Demon Hammer King said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would encounter a Marquis-level Immortal so soon after arriving on this Yellow Sand Island!"
"How about it? Are you confident?" Vice-captain Po Luo asked Luo Ao from the side.
There was only one Marquis bestowed, which they could easily handle if they all went together. However, the purpose of this trip was to 'train newcomers'.
So Po Luo's meaning is self-evident: he's asking if Poro has the confidence to fight that Marquis Immortal alone.
With his teammates backing him up, even if he was outmatched, his life wouldn't be in danger.
"No problem." Luo Ao understood what everyone meant.
On this Yellow Sand Island, the enemy is weak, and they still have the resources to "take care of the newcomer." But once they go to the Main Continent, they might not even be able to take care of themselves, so naturally no one will have the extra energy to look after a burden.
If he were truly lacking in strength or mentality, the group certainly wouldn't have taken him to the Yanji Continent to die.
Of course, it doesn't mean that a newcomer will be abandoned immediately if they fail a single 'test'. Usually, they will be given several more chances to hone their skills, and only if they are deemed truly unusable will they be expelled from the team.
"Since you're so confident, let's head straight there!" Demon Hammer King laughed heartily.
The spaceship then began to decelerate and turn, heading directly towards its target.
In a short while, the distance closed to 2 million kilometers.
"Spaceship slows down, coming to a temporary stop."
"The exact appearance of the target has been detected. This Alien Race Immortal God Marquis a powerful member of the Golden Sand Race." The screen on the Demon Hammer King's arm guard emitted a hazy light, and a projection screen appeared in mid-air.
The scene showed a Alien Race Alien Race being formed entirely of giant sand. Its face was obscured, making it appear as if the sand itself had come to life, and the vast expanse of yellow sand was its domain!
"These Golden Sand Race are rock-based life forms, born with the ability to transform their bodies into sand. They are not easy to deal with, so don't be careless."
"We've encountered another powerful member of this tribe. In desert terrain, the Golden Sand Race is quite formidable."
Because the Golden Sand Race can transform into sand, and Yellow Sand Island is mostly desert terrain, the Golden Sand Race can hide in the desert to disguise themselves and 'ambush' others, and when they are no match for their opponents, they can directly blend into the desert environment and quickly escape.
In this desert terrain, even the Demon Hammer King would find it difficult to kill a member of the Golden Sand Race. Therefore, their purpose in this battle was merely to test the true combat power of this ' Space Emperor ', and they did not expect him to be able to kill the opponent single-handedly.
" The Golden Sand Race." Luo Ao's gaze sharpened, eager to try.
The Golden Sand Race is an ordinary race among billions of races in the universe. Their overall strength is too weak, yet their population is large, requiring a vast territory. Ultimately, unable to survive in the universe, they joined the Zerg, becoming a vassal race of the Zerg, the dominant race.
Of course, calling them an ordinary race is because they lack top-tier powerhouses.
Among the Immortal, the Golden Sand Race still has many powerful individuals, and they are born with extraordinary talent in the ' Law of Earth '.
"Captain, I'll be heading out then," Luo Ao said with a smile.
He then turned around and instantly appeared at the hatch. As soon as the hatch opened, he transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and disappeared into the distance.
"Let's go, we should hurry over there to avoid any accidents." After Luo Ao left, Demon Hammer King and the others followed.
"Good."
"Set off!"
The group quietly left the spaceship. The Demon Hammer King put the spaceship away, and then the group quickly broke through the air and quietly flew towards the desert terrain where the Golden Sand Race's Immortal was hidden.
Meanwhile, in a cave beneath the desert, there exists a constantly shifting palace of yellow sand.
Because the Demon Hammer King's detection instruments blocked information, the Immortal God of the Golden Sand Race was unaware of the approaching danger. He was currently taking stock of his recent gains.
"This Demon Race is quite wealthy, he even has such a powerful weapon." The Golden Sand Race Immortal ' Gan Wen ' was currently admiringly fiddling with a green scimitar in his hand. This green scimitar was of extremely high quality, almost on par with his own weapon.
Keep in mind that he was a Marquis Immortal with an ' Undying Body,' yet his equipment wasn't much better than this Demon Race expert's. If it weren't for the advantage of 'ambush,' killing him wouldn't have been so easy for him.
"The powerful members of the top clans are indeed all very wealthy. When will my Golden Sand Race be able to truly rise to prominence?" Gan Wen sighed inwardly.
On this Planar Battlefield, the active powerhouses mainly fall into two categories: one is the powerhouses who come from the top races such as the Demon Race and humans, and the other is the vassal races.
In terms of equipment, treasures, and detection instruments, they were far inferior to their opponents. This was also why, even though he had cultivated to the level of Marquis, he still dared not leave Yellow Sand Island.
" The Main Continent is too dangerous. I'll continue hunting these Ordinary Immortal on this Yellow Sand Island. Especially those from top-tier clans; even Ordinary Immortal can be quite wealthy." Gan Wen deeply understood the truth that 'preserving lives is the key to victory'.
However, sometimes things just don't go as planned.
Even though he hadn't offended anyone, he still suddenly encountered misfortune, like now—
boom!
The sand palace collapsed with a deafening roar, countless sands swirling into a raging storm, as if it were the end of the world, and a surge of intense energy rushed into the desert depths.
"Not good!" Gan Wen, the Immortal God of the Golden Sand Race, suddenly narrowed his eyes and was filled with rage. At the same time, he released his powerful Law Domain.
Who is it?
A deep yellow Law Domain surrounded his body, and Gan Wen instantly burst out of the ground and looked outside.
"In the sky?"
Gan Wen looked up at the sky and saw a figure amidst the blazing firelight in the yellow sandstorm.
As the intense flames burned, the sand clinging to the past seemed to melt, turning charred black, before solidifying into clumps and crashing into the sand below.
"Who are you? I shouldn't have offended you!"
As the sand was gradually peeled away, Gan Wenwen finally saw clearly that it was a powerful figure about ten meters tall, wearing a bright Silver Battle Armor.
There was a suffocating sense of oppression emanating from the other person. In Gan Wen's perception, this person was like an intimidating, silver-armored Empyrean God.
"Who am I? I'm here to kill you."
The figure of the silver-armored man became clearer and clearer. He stood high in the sky, his crimson eyes coldly looking down at the Alien Race Immortal God below him.
"Is he a powerful member of the Human Race?"
"Damn it, you want to kill me? I'll kill you first, you arrogant human!"
Gan Wen knew that powerful humans were not easy to deal with, but now that they had come to his doorstep, even if he wanted to escape, he had to at least distract them for a while.
"Die!"
Almost instantly, the Golden Sand Race Immortal unleashed Soul Attack imbued with Immortal Divine Power upon Luo Ao!
He could tell at a glance that Luo Ao's armor was definitely defensively powerful, so he planned to use Soul Attack to interfere with him.
Unfortunately, the ' General Armor ' can not only defend against physical attacks, but also withstand attacks on the spiritual level.
Given that the Golden Sand Race's Immortal was only at the Marquis level, his Soul Attack would be completely blocked by the General Armor.
"What? How could this be!" The Golden Sand Race's Immortal expression changed drastically. He had withstood his Soul Attack without any reaction. Just what was the strength of this silver-armored warrior?
"Since Soul Attack are ineffective, then take this!" A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the Golden Sand Race man.
He then took out a huge golden halberd, transformed into a sand giant a hundred meters tall, and charged towards Luo Ao!
A height of 100 meters is considered the strongest combat form of the Golden Sand Race. They could become even taller, but that would actually reduce their strength.
"Good timing. Then take my claw strike." Luo Ao's cold voice rang out, and at the same time, a pair of sharp black claws appeared on his hands!
Wow!
The silver-armored warrior, standing only ten meters tall, suddenly crossed his claws and swung them, tearing towards his opponent.
In an instant, two enormous red ravines stretched across the sky, and two intersecting red claw-like beams of light seemed to tear the entire world apart!
The Immortal body of the Golden Sand Race, along with the vast desert behind him, was instantly ripped apart by the blast. The desert in front of him was split into two parts, and it was slow to heal and recover.
Then, an extreme burst of destructive energy exploded in the air with a deafening roar, tearing apart the space Yellow Sand Island and sending countless Space Fragment trembling!
At this moment!
As if the end of the world had arrived, the endless desert was crushed layer by layer, directly pulverized into even finer dust, which drifted into the air.
The terrifying aftershocks of energy were so powerful that even some powerful individuals millions of kilometers away noticed the astonishing commotion here.
As for that Marquis Immortal Golden Sand Race member who was granted the title of Marquis, his enormous body, which was a hundred meters tall, had long since vanished.
The moment the two claw-like beams swept over, they easily sliced through his body. His prized armor was shredded like tofu, and his upper and lower body were separated.
Of course, that's not the worst part.
What's most terrifying is that these two red claw-like beams of light are accompanied by an invisible yet extremely sharp destructive energy!
Just as hot water melts ice and snow, and sulfuric acid corrodes paper, his Immortal Divine Power was extremely fragile in the face of that destructive energy, and was instantly and forcibly annihilated!
Because the destructive energy penetrated his body directly, it destroyed more than 90% of his Immortal Divine Body almost instantly, rendering him unable to resist!
With the second breath, the escalating destructive energy completely annihilated his entire divine body, causing him to lose consciousness!
This destroyed him from the root; he didn't even have time to use his Undying Body before he was completely dead!
"How is that possible!"
"This!" The Demon Hammer King's expression changed drastically. Was there something slightly off about this newcomer's strength?
In fact, judging solely from the power of Luo Ao Ao's attack, although it was stronger than that of the Demon Hammer King, it was still not enough to instantly kill the Golden Sand Race.
The main reason for all this is the black claw-like weapon on Luo Ao's hands— the Konghuang Claw Gauntlets.
The Konghuang Claw Gauntlets, as the name suggests, are a pair of weapons perfectly suited to the 'Fire and Void' Path of the Beast God.
However, as a weapon specially bestowed by the Lord of Ice Peak, its power is naturally Profound Mysteries and unfathomable.
Driven by both physical strength and energy, the interior of the Konghuang Claw Gauntlets transforms into a very special destructive energy, far more terrifying than the ' Kaso Dagger ' or the ' Silent Wind Weapon '. This special destructive energy is also the 'core' that allows the Konghuang Claw Gauntlets to unleash its extraordinary power.
Of course, using the Konghuang Claw Gauntlets is not easy. It contains three sets of secret runes, and the first set alone requires mastering the first stage of the " Six Transformations of the Flame Crystal ".
To activate the second set of secret runes, one needs to master the third stage of the " Six Transformations of the Flame Crystal," which is already comparable to the enlightenment of Universe Venerable.
As for the strongest third set of secret runes, it requires reaching the fifth level of mastery before it can be properly activated.
This also shows that the Konghuang Claw Gauntlets is actually of extremely high quality. Even ordinary Universe Venerable cannot unleash its full power when using it.
With Luo Ao's current mastery of the Path of the Beast God, although he is still far from being able to activate the second set of runes, he can already easily activate the first set of runes inside the Konghuang Claw Gauntlets, thereby triggering a portion of the special destructive energy inside the claw gauntlet!
It seems that this destructive energy is truly terrifying; it instantly killed the rather troublesome Golden Sand Race Marquis Immortal with a single strike!
