"Huh? Someone actually escaped from the asteroid belt?"

The moment Jiang Ziliu's spaceship broke out of the asteroid belt, the Demigod Rank leaders in the pirate's lair made their discovery.

They exchanged a glance, a feeling that they had discovered a big, fat sheep.

There are only a few possibilities for a Demigod Rank spaceship to enter a dangerous asteroid belt.

First, the Demigod on this Demigod Rank spaceship must have made a secret fortune in the asteroid belt, and must have some valuable items on him.

In this situation, the good stuff, or the big haul, is destined to belong to this group of pirates; they wouldn't be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't take action.

Secondly, this person was being chased and fled into the meteorite belt.

In this situation, the person either possesses a major secret, a valuable treasure, or has a special identity, making them a potential target for capture and a large sum of money.

Thirdly, this person might be looking for something and deliberately entering a dangerous area like a meteorite belt.

Space pirates would naturally not let such a secret slip by.

Fourth, this person may have accidentally stumbled into the asteroid belt. In this case, Demigod would definitely be a newbie who has just entered the starry sky and is not very powerful.

Moreover, the risks of meteorite belts are bound to consume a large amount of Half Divine Power from Demigod experts, and those who emerge are usually in poor condition.

If someone like that doesn't rob a bank, they'd be doing a disservice to the name of space pirates.

In either case, this newly appeared spaceship provides countless reasons for the pirates to go all out.

The risks of robbery on a regular day are far greater than this.

Now that we've got this Demigod Rank spaceship, it would be a disservice to our status as space pirates not to steal it.

With so many reasons, the space pirates led their crew, a total of seven interstellar high-speed ships, and quickly flew over to surround Jiang Ziliu's ship.

Space pirates raid with firepower and speed in mind.

Moreover, both escaping and pursuing require great speed, so their spaceships have a significant speed advantage!

Faced with this group of space pirates, including seven Demigod, Jiang Ziliu was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he was very happy.

To be honest, he was in a bad mood the whole way and was seething with anger.

Now that he has a group of space pirates to vent his anger and let him engage in Demigod combat for the first time, it's perfect for relieving his frustration!

As for whether he would lose, Jiang Ziliu had never worried about it.

Even if the opponent has seven powerful, experienced, and ruthless space pirates!

The two sides met in space, and Jiang Ziliu put away his Demigod Rank warship.

This Demigod Rank spaceship is not a true weapon of war.

It is merely a transportation tool capable of interdimensional travel in space and does not possess Demigod Rank combat power.

Even if it's just a basic spacefaring-level capability, their level is still Demigod Rank.

Because Demigod Rank is the basic level for survival and action in the starry universe.

Below the level of Demigod, they are not considered basic powerful units in the starry sky at all.

Those Supreme Rank pirates were equipped with special technological equipment, which enabled them to achieve a relative star-level combat power.

This kind of spaceship is destined to be useless against the extremely high instantaneous speed of space pirates. It would be better to raise it up to prevent it from being damaged in the battle.

The pirates did the same; after surrounding Jiang Ziliu, they quickly packed up their ships.

These high-speed spaceships are also their prized possessions; it would be a loss if they were damaged during a robbery.

A spaceship that truly possesses Demigod Rank combat power would be worth at least a hundred times, or even a thousand times, more than an ordinary Demigod Rank spaceship.

Because achieving Demigod Rank combat power is not easy; it involves much higher-level knowledge of weapon crafting and resources.

While both are 100,000 tons, the difference between a 100,000-ton cargo ship and a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier in terms of technology, resources, scientific and technological advancements, and construction difficulty is enormous.

Even with Jiang Ziliu's resources, Demigod Rank warship is currently beyond their capabilities to build.

Jiang Ziliu's forging knowledge was not enough to create Demigod Rank warship; at most, he could only create a transport ship.

Unless the Forging Throne intervenes.

However, his act of building such a Demigod Rank warship would inevitably leave a very obvious mark in the eyes of super strong individuals, clearly exposing his existence.

At this moment, the space pirates' subordinates were scattered in all directions. They were extremely far apart, but each of them held a special bead-shaped Demigod Artifact. When activated, it formed a Demigod Rank giant net that covered an area the size of half a planet, surrounding Jiang Ziliu and forming the outermost encirclement.

The purpose of this mesh-like structure is to disrupt space and prevent Jiang Ziliu from escaping directly through spatial means.

Although Demigod Rank powerhouses can also use other rules to interfere with the application of Space Rule.

However, that effect is minimal, since space and time are supreme rules that naturally suppress or even completely restrain other rules.

To disrupt the escape of a Demigod who Space Rule, one would need a combination of large-scale spatial interference Demigod Artifact.

The opponent has seven Demigod who summoned a total of twenty-three Demigod Rank beasts, including Demigod Rank beasts with various rules of power such as wind, fire, lightning, water, light, darkness, death, and destruction.

When they come together, their rules work in perfect harmony, making them incredibly powerful.

Jiang Ziliu was facing these beast tamers and seven Demigod alone, which was equivalent to facing thirty Demigod Rank beings at once.

But he wasn't in a hurry. Three Demigod Rank metal shields appeared in front of him to form a defense, and then a Demigod Rank longbow appeared in his hand.

He bought all of this equipment from the Demigod Trade Fair.

The only difference is that they have been modified and upgraded by the Forging Throne, and are now top-tier Demigod Artifact comparable to the Demigod Ninth Stage.

Forging Throne is not fully formed, directly forging equipment will leave relatively obvious traces of its rules. However, if it is used to modify and upgrade existing Demigod Rank equipment, enemies familiar with it will not be able to detect anything amiss.

After all, it's just an upgraded version; many beings in the starry sky, even those above the Demigod Rank, can do it, leaving no obvious traces.

Upon discovering Jiang Ziliu's three divine shields at the Demigod Ninth Stage and one longbow at the Demigod Ninth Stage, the group of pirates sensed something was amiss.

Although they were very greedy for the good stuff in Jiang Ziliu's hands, the stuff was just too good.

They might have run into a real tough opponent.

However, the overwhelming numerical advantage of thirty Demigod gave them confidence, preventing them from retreating immediately!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Both sides launched attacks on each other without prior agreement, and Jiang Ziliu, the one who was being hunted, was the first to strike!

But as soon as Jiang Ziliu made his move, he showed this group of space pirate Demigod what an invincible Demigod was!

Their attacks, combining water, fire, light, and darkness, were easily blocked by the defensive barrier formed by the three shields.

Demigod Rank flame capable of burning down stars the size of the moon; a dark, corrosive mist capable of corroding stars of the same size; a wind blade capable of slicing through a meteorite over five thousand miles in diameter...

These attacks struck Jiang Ziliu's energy barrier, but only stirred up a layer of grayish-brown ripples, failing to shatter the first layer of energy barrier at all.

This is merely the shield activated by one of the three shields, a shield imbued with the power of the Earth Rule.

Jiang Ziliu wore three layers of such shields!

Moreover, this is the effect of thirty attacks at the Demigod level coming at once!

There was no other way; Jiang Ziliu's Half Divine Power was of higher quality and more accumulated. Although his understanding of the Earth Rule was only at the initial stage, it far surpassed the level of understanding of the Earth Rule held by other high-level Demigod.

Jiang Ziliu's formidable past foundation allowed him to surpass other Demigod in the power of rules that evolved from his skill power when he first entered the Demigod.

The barrier formed solely by his Earth Rule was impenetrable even to attacks from thirty ordinary Demigod.

On this side, there is an even stronger shield of Magnetic Force Rule and Space Rule that has not yet been activated.

Jiang Ziliu is not on the defensive; he can be the first to launch an attack.

His Demigod Rank longbow is imbued with lightning arrows formed from the power of the Lightning Rule, while the longbow's power is derived from the Earth Rule's Gravitational Force Rule gravity and Repulsive Force Rule.

Lightning is inherently superior in speed and power; its only drawback is its extremely short duration.

However, Jiang Ziliu added Space Rule to this lightning arrow, which qualitatively enhanced its speed.

Therefore, his first arrow was fired so fast that it pierced the starry sky, faster than the other Demigod could react.

The long arrow was fired and pierced directly through the body of a Demigod Rank eagle-like beast.

The power of the Lightning Rule attached to it instantly annihilated the divine body, soul, and Half Divine Power of this eagle-like Demigod Rank beast.

This Demigod Rank beast taming creature perished instantly.

If one doesn't instantly annihilate the opponent's soul, body, and Half Divine Power, it's easy to severely injure a Demigod, but difficult to kill Demigod.

Ninety percent of the arrow's power exploded on this demigod -Demigod Rank beast, while only ten percent of its power transformed into a bolt of lightning that pierced through the starry sky and directly penetrated the endless meteorites behind it.

It forms a hole track that stretches for countless kilometers along a straight line!

With a single arrow, he killed a Demigod Rank beast.

Jiang Ziliu's attack terrified the group of space pirates. They finally realized that they were unlucky this time and had really run into a terrifying tough opponent.

Who knows, this might be a Demigod who's pretending to be weak while actually being strong!

Among those of the same level of strength, the difference in combat power between truly top-tier geniuses and ordinary Demigod is like heaven and earth.

Clearly, Jiang Ziliu is in the heavens, while they are on the ground!

They really chose the wrong target today.

They wanted to escape, but Jiang Ziliu wanted to vent his anger and also wanted to test what it felt like to fight with all his might.

The reason why Jiang Ziliu attacked the Beast Tamer first instead of the Beast Tamer is that at the Demigod level, if the Beast Tamer doesn't die, it's too difficult for the Beast Tamer to die.

After all, beast taming is the cornerstone of the Divine Kingdom.

With the foundation and the Divine Kingdom existing, if Demigod Rank powerhouse abandons his divine body and his divine soul shrinks directly into the Divine Kingdom, he becomes unkillable.

Unless Jiang Ziliu possesses a special secret technique that allows him to pinpoint the opponent's Divine Kingdom located in a specific time-space dimension.

Unfortunately, he didn't have such a secret technique. The best way was still to attack the beast tamers and cause the Divine Kingdom to collapse because it lost its foundation.

Sure enough, after the beast completely perished, one of the seven Demigod Rank beast tamers vomited blood on the spot, suffering the backlash from the damage to his Divine Kingdom.

Jiang Ziliu achieved a great victory with his first strike, but he did not stop, nor did he give this group of people any chance to escape.

Even as his opponent began to consider fleeing and retreating, his follow-up attacks had already begun.

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows...

Each strike carries the power of the Lightning Rule, the power of the Space Rule, and is further enhanced by the power of other rules mastered by Jiang Ziliu.

For an ordinary Demigod Rank beast tamer, being able to learn three kinds of rule powers is already considered impressive.

However, Jiang Ziliu's foundation was too good, and his divine soul was too powerful. He had mastered all the feedback from the rules, so there was no waste or loss.

Therefore, the amount of power of rules he possesses is terrifyingly large, so large that he can freely add multiple rules and experiment with the power performance of the arrow after different rules are combined.

The reaction speed of Demigod Rank powerhouse is equally frighteningly fast.

What is a second in the world of an ordinary person can be slowed down to an extremely slow speed in the eyes of Demigod, who can perform many actions in a single second.

Jiang Ziliu, however, far surpasses ordinary Demigod in this aspect!

In a mere second, he fired thirty long arrows, each a fusion of different rules, and each arrow represented a tamed beast!

The effect of the twenty-three tamed beasts, which is the effect of the first twenty-three arrows!

Twenty-three tamed beasts perished, unable even to mount a defensive reaction.

The next seven arrows directly killed seven Demigod Rank beast tamers, whose Divine Kingdom was on the verge of collapse and whose backlash was extremely strong.

After their Demigod Body, Half Divine Power, and Demigod Soul were shattered by the power of the rules attached to the long arrows, they were destined for death!

These seven Demigod pirates all perished a second after Jiang Ziliu made his move!

The strongest among them is a demigod at the Demigod Fifth Stage, while the weakest is Demigod Second Stage!

Admittedly, most Demigod who are capable of thievery are those who have no background or power, no resources, and are unwilling to develop their strength in peace.

Their foundation is relatively weak, their strength improves slowly, and their combat power is relatively low.

But they were, after all, seven Demigod, along with nearly twenty-three Demigod Rank beasts.

However, faced with Jiang Ziliu's overwhelming combat power, they were all wiped out in a second!

In fact, Jiang Ziliu also launched a surprise attack with a swift and unexpected strategy.

If he had hesitated even a moment, giving the other side a chance to react, he wouldn't have been able to kill so Demigod.

They can instantly summon their beasts back to the Divine Kingdom, and then, with great willpower, abandon their divine bodies while retaining their Demigod souls to seek refuge in the Divine Kingdom.

If Jiang Ziliu had been a little slower, giving his opponent an opportunity, and if the opponent had been decisive enough, he would have had a hard time achieving this result.

He took a high-speed, unexpected turn.

When Demigod is truly on guard, he is still very difficult to kill.

However, Jiang Ziliu still managed to achieve such great results by using his own strategies, which he had developed based on previous battle rehearsals and analyses.

Don't be fooled by his ability to wipe out thirty Demigod in a second!

But before that, in his spare time, he had already used his Half Divine Power to conduct tens of thousands of Demigod combat simulations.

A lot of effort is required to do this.

A second of battle requires ten years of preparation!

His brilliant victory this time was actually the application of a superior solution among countless pre-planned scenarios.

As a practitioner of the art of survival, how does one face battles against Demigod Rank and how does one handle different situations?

In order to survive, Jiang Ziliu devised a plan to use the omnipotence of Half Divine Power to conduct pre-battle analysis.

Through diligent private effort, I prepared in advance for handling different situations.

This is an application of his previous life's technological world military rehearsals.

But this method is surprisingly effective; all you need to do is put in a lot of hard work, endure the tedium, and repeat it extensively.

The glorious victory that appeared on Jiang Ziliu's body, even though it was his first battle Demigod, was actually all predetermined.

Fate always favors those who are prepared.

After eliminating the seven Demigod Rank space pirates, Jiang Ziliu casually took out the rest of the space pirates.

Then his gaze fell upon the spatial storage equipment of these Demigod, as well as the Demigod Rank's lair.

He's won; it's time to enjoy his spoils!
