"This!"
" Silver Horn King is dead too!"
The other five Demon Race Marquis Immortal were also filled with despair. Their opponent was a King Rank Limit expert who Teleportation the heaven-defying ability of teleportation. They had no chance of escaping.
"Send this message out!"
"Fight them!"
"I'll take a few of them down with me even if I die!"
Seeing that even the Silver Horn King had been instantly killed, the five Demon Race Marquis Immortal had been granted titles never thought they could survive. In an instant, they all chose to self-destruct!
"These lunatics! Get out of the way!"
Lai Yin, Yi Zi, and the other six could barely suppress the five Demon Race race members who had reached the Marquis Immortal, but they only had a partial advantage. If the five Demon Race members were to close the distance and self-destruct, they might lose several team members.
"These guys!" Demon Hammer King rushed over, intending to help his teammates withstand the impact.
The self-destruction of Immortal God is indeed the most ruthless move. The power unleashed in an instant is almost a thousand times that of a normal battle!
The combined power of five Immortal God had been granted the title of Marquis was astonishing. If they were close enough, even Peak Marquis god would perish, and it might even severely injure Initial King expert like the Demon Hammer King!
"Want to self-destruct? Did you ask me first!" Luo Ao was well aware of the power of Immortal God's self-destruction, so naturally he dared not let these five guys self-destruct directly.
He Instant Movement in front of the five Immortal Demon Race, and at the same time, a round platform resembling a black seal suddenly appeared above their heads.
" Black Ice Platform, Town!"
Under Luo Ao's control, the black platform that had suddenly appeared suddenly expanded in size, growing from the size of a palm when it first appeared to a colossal platform with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. A huge hole was also revealed at the bottom of the black platform.
"Rumble~~~" A huge vortex appeared directly in the void, and a tremendous suction force suddenly acted directly on the five Immortal Demon Race. The five Demon Race powerhouses who were originally rushing towards the other members of the Demon Hammer Squad were immediately greatly affected.
"This is... a sealed treasure?" The Demon Hammer King was startled when he saw the black, round treasure.
Sealed treasures are extremely rare and precious. He had only heard of them before, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful treasure in person.
"No!"
"Not good!"
The five powerful Demon Race clans were all out of control, directly caught in the endless suction force. Their massive bodies were visibly absorbed into the black platform, and they disappeared from sight in an instant.
Such a shocking scene left Lai Yin and the others dumbfounded. Under Luo Ao's command, the opponent couldn't even self-destruct. This was terrifying!
Actually, this is quite normal. Sealing artifacts like the ' Black Ice Platform ' can forcibly seal an opponent inside, trapping them within and preventing their escape for eternity, as long as the user is slightly stronger than the opponent.
Moreover, the Black Ice Platform itself is made of a special material; if one were trapped inside, even Universe Venerable would probably not be able to forcibly break free.
Of course, using it to seal Universe Venerable would be much more troublesome.
"Thank goodness, if those guys had self-destructed, all these Mechanical Puppet would have been wiped out." The oblivious Lai Yin was the first to come to his senses, and his eyes lit up as he collected some of the Mechanical Puppet —these things were quite valuable.
"Just who is this Space Emperor, and how does he possess such a terrifying treasure!" Seeing the other party retract the black round platform treasure, Demon Hammer King swallowed hard, feeling even more keenly the unfathomable depth of the other party.
However, the clever group didn't bring up this matter at the moment. They only needed to know that the other party was also human and was now their teammate, which was enough for them.
" Space Emperor, thank you so much for your help this time. Otherwise, our team would have been in big trouble." Demon Hammer King was also relieved. Luckily, he had invited Space Emperor to join the team. Otherwise, they would have lost several more members in this ambush.
"Yes, Space Emperor, you're so handsome!" The Rainbow Butterfly Race beauty Yi Zi also showed a hint of admiration in her eyes.
In the eyes of the Demon Hammer Squad, although Luo Ao was very strong before, he was only slightly stronger than Demon Hammer King.
But today, Luo Ao unleashed the King Rank Limit, which completely overturned their understanding!
Especially the final black circular platform suppression technique, which prevented the opponent from even completing their self-destruction, was terrifying!
"No need for such formalities," Luo Ao said with a slight smile, then added softly, "We're all part of the Human Faction, and we're even in the same squad, so there's no need for thanks!"
"Alright, enough talk. Everyone, let's quickly take these Mechanical Puppet away and leave this place!" Luo Ao said.
Although he wasn't afraid that other powerful figures from the Demon Race Faction would arrive, he figured it was better to avoid trouble.
He is very strong, but not completely invincible.
"Listen to the Space Emperor, let's leave as soon as we've collected the spoils!" Demon Hammer King nodded in agreement.
And so, the others held back for the time being, no matter how much they wanted to say. One by one, the team members flew into the F-class spaceship, transformed into streaks of Flowing Light, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Above the Yanji Continent, an F-class spaceship is traveling at sub-light speed.
Inside the spaceship's lounge, the nine members of the Demon Hammer Squad were gathered together.
Inside the lounge, Demon Hammer King and the others exchanged glances, occasionally looking at Luo Ao, but no one spoke first. Luo Ao's performance was so astonishing that they didn't know how to interact with each other anymore.
Meanwhile, Luo Ao was preoccupied with communicating with Abu in his mind.
" Abu, how many military merits do I have? Those two merits that just earned me the title of King-level Immortal should be enough to grant me my freedom, right?" Luo Ao asked in his mind.
"Master, your total military merits have reached 20.52 trillion!" Abu replied immediately.
"Looks like that's enough!" Luo Ao immediately decided to leave.
When he was working with the Demon Hammer Squad, he only earned a little over 300 billion military merits. However, the Machine Race powerhouse at the Initial King and the Demon Race Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros at the Initial King that he just killed, along with the other five Demon Race Marquis that he suppressed, contributed a total of about 20 trillion military merits to him.
"Master, you are now a free man. Even if you leave the Demon Hammer Squad, you will not be punished by the military system!" Abu said in Luo Ao's mind.
As Luo Ao's assistant, Abu naturally knew his master's intention to act alone.
However, the military system in the Outer Domain Battlefield is still very strict in its management. As long as one is not a free person, even if Luo Ao has the Lord of Ice Peak standing behind him, he cannot violate military regulations!
"Now I can act on my own!" Luo Ao nodded to himself.
Although the Demon Hammer Squad was quite strong, he was still too constrained while inside. Enemies that were too weak were meaningless to him, while enemies that were too strong could easily cause his teammates to fail.
Just like when he went to stop the self-destruction of the five great Demon Race Marquis, he couldn't possibly protect his teammates like that every time.
Although the members of the Demon Hammer Squad treated him quite warmly during this time, Luo Ao also greatly appreciated the other members of the squad.
But now, it's time to say goodbye.
In the somber atmosphere, just as Luo Ao was about to speak, the Demon Hammer King spoke first.
The shock on Demon Hammer King's face hadn't completely faded. He looked at Luo Ao in amazement and said, "I really didn't expect that our Demon Hammer Squad could recruit a King Rank Limit expert like you! Killing King-level Immortal is so easy..."
As a Initial King expert, Demon Hammer King had some understanding of the strength of experts at various levels of the King Rank realm!
It was precisely because of his understanding that he realized how terrifying his opponent was, especially since the opponent possessed the ability to Teleportation. This meant that even on the entire Yanji Continent, the opponent could practically roam freely, attacking and retreating at will...
But going with them will only bring unnecessary burdens.
" Space Emperor!" Lai Yin stood beside the Demon Hammer King, looking at him as if he were a monster. "You are simply terrifying! Even in the entire Human Race, there are very few who reach the King Rank Limit power! Even my teacher's strength is far inferior to yours! No wonder you dare to take the title of ' Space Emperor '!"
"It's estimated that it won't be long before the name ' Space Emperor ' resounds throughout the entire Yanji Continent." The beautiful Rainbow Butterfly Race member Yi Zi, exclaimed in equal amazement, "I just never expected that I would have the opportunity to get to know a King Rank Limit."
"It is truly an honor for us to know the Space Emperor!" Po Luo, the usually composed Earth Kui Race expert, echoed in agreement.
In fact, the Demon Hammer Squad members were quite strong; they even had the opportunity to meet ordinary King Rank powerhouses!
For them, the King Rank Limit expert was indeed extremely distant, like a legendary figure.
"Everyone," Luo Ao suddenly looked at the crowd and said, "I have something I want to tell you all."
Immediately, Demon Hammer King and the others fell silent.
Seeing everyone in this state, Luo Ao felt a deep sense of sorrow.
Even though Demon Hammer King was clearly the captain of this team, his status had unknowingly surpassed that of the other party.
Ultimately, it all stems from the difference in strength.
The strong are respected wherever they go.
However, he and the rest of the Demon Hammer Squad were ultimately not the same kind of people, and now that the military system was no longer restricting him, it was time for him to do what he needed to do.
"Besides meeting the simple military merit requirements, I have other things to do on this trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield!"
Luo Ao smiled and looked at the eight people, saying, "Now that I have accumulated enough military merits and become a free man, so..."
"What do you mean?" The Demon Hammer King was slightly taken aback. He had already anticipated this, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
" Space Emperor, are you planning to leave the team?" Even someone as oblivious as Lai Yin finally realized what was going on.
"I understand." Po Luo gave him a deep look, as if she wanted to say something to persuade him to stay, but then stopped herself.
Perhaps leaving is the best outcome for everyone.
Demon Hammer King, Lai Yin, Yi Zi, Heavenly Sound... the eight of them looked at each other, their expressions all complicated.
Although they also wanted to follow a powerful figure like Space Emperor, who was at the King Rank Limit of the King realm, on the Outer Domain Battlefield, they all understood that if they were with such a powerful figure, it would be a waste of time to fight weaker opponents. But if they were to fight stronger opponents, even the strongest Demon Hammer King would inevitably become a burden.
At that time, not only will they be of no help, but they will also distract the Space Emperor from rescuing them.
" Space Emperor, go forth. I believe that in the near future, we will hear your fame resounding on the Outer Domain Battlefield." The Demon Hammer King walked up to Luo Ao and offered his final blessing.
"Yes, I will." Luo Ao nodded with a smile.
"I hope that after we leave the Outer Domain Battlefield, we will all have the opportunity to reunite." Luo Ao suddenly stood up, then looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Take care, everyone."
"Take care." The Demon Hammer King nodded solemnly.
"Goodbye," Yi Zi said reluctantly.
"Don't forget us..."
Luo Ao waved goodbye to his team members who were adventuring on the Outer Domain Battlefield, and amidst the gazes of many team members, he turned and flew out of the spaceship's hatch.
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of his hand, Luo Ao conjured up an F9-class silver monster spaceship and quickly departed aboard.
Watching the spaceship gradually disappear from sight, the members of the Demon Hammer Squad felt a little uneasy.
"He's gone," Demon Hammer King sighed. "Let's go, it's time for us to continue the hunt."
After speaking, the Demon Hammer King ordered the spaceship to fly in a different direction.
And so, after spending more than two months together, the group of people eventually went their separate ways.
For each of them, they were merely fleeting figures in the other's long life. However, the image of that silver-armored warrior had indeed amazed them for a period of time, leaving an unforgettable impression.
