"Damn it, we've been found out!"
The moment his body reacted, the diamond man knew that escape was impossible.
The current situation is that several major empires have mobilized far more powerful individuals than they can match for the siege. Once one of them discovers the situation, it means that many Transcendent beings will come from all directions to attack, making escape a pipe dream.
Thinking of this, the diamond man's rage surged, and a clear venomous look appeared in his sapphire blue pupils. "If we're going to die, let's die together!"
The major powers had already announced that they would exterminate all members of the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew; surrender was impossible, so they had no choice but to take one down with them before they died.
Boom!!
With an explosive burst of power, the aura of the Upper Tier Nine rapidly expanded, the crystalline light on the surface of the diamond-shaped body condensed, and hundreds of energy-gathering rays instantly shot out from the edges, overwhelming Lancelot.
"A creature similar to the Astral Realm Crystal Race? That's quite rare." Facing the Diamond Man's Berserk attack, Lancelot remained calm. While pondering, he extended one hand, and lightning energy surged from his palm, transforming into a pale blue shield.
With the continuous development of electric energy and the emergence of the talent [Elementary Electromagnetic Control], Lancelot's use of electromagnetic force has become increasingly proficient. Although his understanding and application of electromagnetic force are still insignificant compared to the vast ocean of electromagnetic force, the improvement in combat power is already remarkable.
He didn't even use his Steel Feather Cloak; he released an ionized shield with his bare hands.
Hundreds of focused energy beams struck the surface of the ionized shield, creating countless ripples, but they could not cross the line and eventually collapsed and disappeared.
"Tsk, still not very proficient at it."
Lancelot shook his slightly numb hand, then looked at the shocked diamond man opposite him and grinned, "The battle has only just begun!"
Boom!!
Amidst the raging lightning, Lancelot instantly lunged in front of the diamond man and delivered a direct punch.
Boom!!
A thunderous roar echoed through the sky, and Berserk energy wave, accompanied by crackling and raging lightning, instantly destroyed the trees within a few hundred meters. Centered on the two people, a spherical force field rapidly expanded and spread, causing the ground to drop several meters, forming a huge spherical crater, with soil and rocks flying everywhere.
Click!!
The crystal shattered with a crisp sound. The diamond man stared in disbelief at the human opposite him; this guy's fist was far too powerful.
"It's pretty tough!" Lancelot muttered, completely ignoring the wounds and bloodstains on his joints. Since the nascent Tree of Life was born, his regenerative abilities had become unreasonable. He could recover from serious injuries in no time, let alone these minor injuries.
The battle continues!
Five minutes later, the diamond man's tattered body collapsed into the dust. Lancelot landed and collected it.
In the Astral Realm, the bodies of Crystal Race are always highly sought-after items on the black market, with demand exceeding supply. This creature possesses characteristics remarkably similar to those of Crystal Race; one could argue that, from a purely value perspective, its price should be roughly equivalent to that of True Dragon corpse of the same level.
Such a great start has made Lancelot even more eager for what's to come.
After assessing his physical condition and finding himself still at his peak, Lancelot abandoned the idea of resting. Using the released Molecular Aggregation Insect, he re-locked onto his target and vanished in a flash of lightning.
One hour later.
Dropping the corpse in his hands, Lancelot looked towards the northeast.
He just captured a leader of the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew and, after interrogating him, learned the location of a treasure vault from him.
"It's not far, worth a visit!"
Having made his decision, Lancelot leaped into the air, transforming into lightning and speeding through the sky.
However, this time, his luck wasn't so good; the treasure vault had already been emptied.
Looking at the mess in front of him, Lancelot was in a bad mood.
Judging from the clues, this treasure trove must contain extremely rich resources. If I had arrived earlier, it would all be mine.
"Depend on!"
Lancelot scratched his head, sighed helplessly, and prepared to leave.
Just then, a massive aura approached rapidly from the side and rear like a meteor.
Legendary!
Lancelot immediately became alert.
But after a moment, he relaxed slightly. Based on his experience, he judged that this should only be a guy who had just entered the Legendary, and his aura was very unstable, so he should be being chased.
"In that case..."
After a moment's thought, a sharp, razor-like glint flashed in Lancelot's eyes. Without hesitation, he took to the air and headed towards the location of that Legendary.
Due to the camouflage properties of the Molecular Aggregation Insect, and the fact that Lancelot was very close to the Legendary's escape route, he arrived directly in front of the Legendary with little effort.
"Um?"
The red-haired man who was fleeing was startled and immediately tried to change direction, but the next moment, his expression turned strange. The guy blocking his way seemed to be a Ninth-Rank Transcendent Individual.
"Crazy?" the red-haired man thought to himself.
Meanwhile, more than two thousand Duomi away in mid-air, another Legendary powerhouse belonging to the Alliance had a drastic change in expression; he recognized Lancelot.
"Get out of the way! That's Legendary life form! Are you out of your mind?"
A frenzied roar erupted from the Alliance Legendary, the turbulent emotions causing the red-haired man's eyes to narrow, instantly realizing that this overconfident fellow must be someone of great importance.
'Kidnap him!'
The red-haired man's eyes shone with an unprecedented intensity, his will to survive erupting wildly. He had thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly, a golden opportunity had presented itself!
Call!!
The Legendary acted without hesitation.
Moreover, they unleash their most powerful moves right away.
The red-haired man wasn't stupid. He knew that Lancelot must have something to rely on to stand in his way. He didn't care what that reliance was; using his full strength was always the right thing to do. Even if he failed, it would be due to insufficient ability, not carelessness.
It can only be said that there are no easy opponents among Legendary- level powerhouses.
Willpower, temperament, and decisiveness—if any one of these is lacking, one cannot become Legendary.
Amidst a desolate roar, flames rolled and coalesced into a strange beast, its terrifying flames scorching the very space that trembled slightly.
Roar!!
A domineering roar, accompanied by raging golden-white flames, swept towards Lancelot. At the same time, the red-haired man's Sanctuary also enveloped the area, turning everything around into a world of flames.
Seeing this, Lancelot's expression changed, and he cursed inwardly at the guy behind him for making things worse. His shout made the other party realize his importance and he launched a desperate attack.
In fact, according to the normal logic, Legendary should simply slap a Tier Nine opponent, which would allow Lancelot to hold out for a while while waiting for his own strongmen to arrive.
However, this plan was completely shattered by that roar.
Faced with a Legendary going all out, Lancelot's expression became more serious than ever before. If he were to be even slightly careless, his path to Transcendent would come to an end.
However, the terrifying pressure from the enemy in front of him instantly ignited Lancelot's long-dormant blood. Although his Transcendent profession in this life was not martial artist, he still inherited the same fighting spirit he had as a martial artist in his previous life.
Facing Legendary, we rise to the challenge!
' Tree of Life '
Wow!
A surge of green light erupted from within, forming a giant tree thirty meters tall.
The reason it wasn't 100 meters tall was because it was located within the opponent's Sanctuary, and was under pressure from all sides.
Nevertheless, the appearance of the Tree of Life, and the miniature Life Domain it expanded, freed Lancelot from the influence of the red-haired man's Sanctuary, allowing him to unleash his full power.
This is extremely important because if you fight in the opponent's Sanctuary, your combat power will be suppressed by more than 70%, not to mention anything else. This is no exaggeration.
The saying "below the Legendary, all are but ants" is not just a saying.
"Hmm? This is a nascent domain?" The red-haired man instantly recognized the form of the Life Domain. "Hmph, it's just Nascent Domain. While it can withstand the pressure of my Sanctuary, it can't possibly offer you any further assistance. If this is all you're relying on, then you'd better surrender obediently!"
Roar!!
The beast roared again, its four hooves flying, its eyes wide with fury, like a truly intelligent being.
Lancelot was currently within the opponent's Sanctuary, with nowhere to hide or avoid it, and could only take the hit head-on.
Gas combustion, Cell Liberation, Molecular Aggregation Insect shield, ionization shield, Steel Feather Cloak...
Layer upon layer of defenses were nested together, facing the oncoming fiery behemoth head-on.
Boom!!
Flames soared into the sky, shattering the first layer of the Steel Feather Cloak into 1200 metal scales. However, the impact energy of the fire behemoth was greatly reduced due to the force dissipating during the scale dispersal process.
Next came the ionization shield, which, after a brief stalemate with the flames, also collapsed.
In this way, layer upon layer of defense weakened the fiery behemoth.
But when it comes to the point of impact, its attack power is still at a Legendary level.
At this point, Lancelot could only rely on his physical strength to endure it.
Laugh!!
Golden-white flames licked his skin, and the terrifying heat penetrated to his very bones, making Lancelot feel as if he were in a fiery inferno.
Burning, scorching, melting, reshaping...
In a mere second, Lancelot's body endured unprecedented torment and trials.
When the flames died down, all that could be seen was a crumpled, black, charred mass of flesh and blood.
The red-haired man's expression changed drastically. He had no intention of taking Lancelot's life; he only wanted to escape by kidnapping this overconfident fellow.
Further back, the Alliance Legendary, now nearly 400 meters away, was enraged. Believing Lancelot had perished, he unleashed an attack beyond his limits, using some forbidden technique to instantly bridge the remaining distance and forcefully storm into the red-haired man's Sanctuary. He thrust his knight's lance straight at the man, who had no choice but to resist, and Legendary battle ensued.
Meanwhile, Lancelot, now reduced to charred remains, felt no worry.
As a vast and pure primal life force surged forth from the depths of the body.
His injuries healed at a visible speed, returning him to his peak condition in just two or three seconds, as if time had reversed.
The two Legendary beside him noticed this scene. The Alliance Legendary breathed a sigh of relief. If Lancelot had really died here, he would probably only be able to serve on the border in the future. Regardless of whether Lancelot was reckless or not, the Holy Sword would not listen to them. There is no reason to talk about many things.
Fortunately, this Alliance prodigy lived up to his reputation and survived.
Strangely, the red-haired man was also quite pleased that Lancelot had fully recovered, because it meant he still had a chance to kidnap him, even if the hope was slim, at least there was one, wasn't there?
For this reason, the red-haired man began to resist the attacks of the Alliance Legendary, attempting to capture Lancelot.
However, he overestimated his strength. With another Legendary holding him back, he was completely helpless against Lancelot, who could even find time to heal his own Legendary.
Yes, Lancelot, with the awakened Tree of Life, is arguably the top healer of his level.
With his cooperation, the red-haired man fell ten minutes later. Even in his dying moments, he was still staring intently at Lancelot.
"You were too reckless." The Alliance Legendary, Peiqiluo, complained immediately after the battle ended.
Lancelot shrugged, thinking to himself that things would have been much better if you hadn't yelled that out of nowhere.
However, Lancelot did not object to what he had done, as his actions had indeed been quite dangerous for Peiqiluo.
After complaining, the two quickly divided their spoils.
The ratio is approximately 3:7.
In reality, Peiqiluo wanted a 50/50 split because he wanted to use this opportunity to befriend Lancelot.
Lancelot also had his pride; he wouldn't accept a reward without merit. The effort he put in was only enough to earn him this much.
Left with no other option, Peiqiluo came up with another plan. He pointed out the location of a treasure vault to Lancelot and told him that few people had discovered it yet, and the rewards would be plentiful.
After thinking it over, Lancelot accepted the offer and gave Peiqiluo his contact number. Peggy was pleasantly surprised. After a few brief pleasantries, they said their goodbyes.
"Hopefully, this treasure trove will be more reliable!"
Watching the departing figure on the horizon, Lancelot muttered to himself.
Above an alternate dimension.
A total of six Demigod clashed here.
Sea Clan, spellcasters, Ability Energy, elves, and orcs.
The one being surrounded and brutally beaten was a small giant with a lion's mane and a height of about eight meters. He was Annula, who was originally a pure human, but later absorbed the blood of the Giant Race and became what he is now.
The battle was exceptionally fierce. No one expected that Annula would reach the level of Mid-Rank Demigod without making a sound. Of the other five Demigod present, only the Elf Race one was Mid-Rank Demigod; the others were all Low-Rank Demigod.
However, despite being outnumbered, Annula launched a frantic counterattack, but the Demigod spellcaster from the Tia Empire found an opportunity to severely injure her. The rest of the battle was a foregone conclusion, and with the Demigod's blood gushing down, this pirate king who had roamed the land for many years finally fell.
Amidst rolling mountains and numerous valleys, a fierce battle raged within one of the massive canyons, involving hundreds of High-Rank Transcendent beings.
Their composition is diverse, including pirates, Sea Clan, Dragon Clan, elves, humans, and magical beasts.
The reason they fought each other was, of course, to seize the resources in the treasure trove.
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
"Tsk, you guys take your time fighting, I'll go in and scout ahead."
Lancelot raised an eyebrow and smiled, using the Molecular Aggregation Insect to create Concealment barrier, and strolled leisurely into the treasure vault entrance hidden in the mountain wall.
