Chapter 267 Target Acquisition, Zerg Punishment in the South

Chapter 267 Retrieval Target, Zerg Punishment in the South

Ye Yang noticed that during their battle, the black-armored king seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally leading him in a certain direction.

Or rather, it's a deliberate or unintentional avoidance of a certain direction.

"How about we call it quits?" Ye Yang suggested deliberately.

"Good—." A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the black-armored king.

In his eyes, Ye Yang was a genuine and powerful King-level expert, and should be very close to the advanced level of King-level expert, just like him.

Furthermore, Ye Yang's strength should lie in defense—his offensive power is too weak, barely reaching the level of a King. But the fact that the black-armored man's attack couldn't even slightly destroy Ye Yang's divine body speaks volumes.

To complete his master's task, he could bear it for a while—thinking this way, the madness in the black-armored man's eyes subsided slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Alien, I acknowledge your strength. You should leave and stop bothering me."

Ye Yang grinned: "Okay."

As he spoke, he turned around and used his movement technique to speed away. In the eyes of the black-armored man, Ye Yang actually circled around him and flew behind him.

The original battleground was some distance away, deliberately led by the black-armored man. However, Ye Yang took a detour and flew straight towards the original battleground!

The man in black armor realized Ye Yang's intention and immediately flew into a rage: "Alien race!!! What are you doing?"

Ye Yang sneered: "What are you doing? Aren't I leaving?"

"Don't go that way!" The man in black armor was furious and quickly caught up.

Ye Yang laughed loudly, "Is the universe your home? There are so many paths, why can't you take this one?"

"Aaaaaah! Damn aliens!"

The man in black armor went completely berserk: "I'll kill you!"

This time, the black-armored man had truly gone mad, burning his divine body as he charged towards Ye Yang.

The light, so powerful it seemed to shatter space itself, created a spatial rift that stretched at the speed of light, revealing the spatial turbulence behind it.

"Light speed?" Ye Yang sneered, his body flashing as he entered the space-time rift, and in another flash he appeared tens of millions of kilometers away.

It's like teleportation, a spacetime rift that's much faster than traveling at the speed of light!

The current starry sky contains a large amount of dust and debris, making it difficult even for powerful F-class spaceships to enter the dark universe. Naturally, it would be difficult for the Black Armor King to enter the dark universe in his physical form as well.

They couldn't catch up with Ye Yang at all.

"Let me see what it is!" Ye Yang smiled, fully resonating with spacetime to sense the slightest fluctuation in trillions of kilometers of spacetime.

His world projection size is now 1 trillion kilometers, while the perception distance of resonant spacetime can reach up to 10 trillion kilometers!

It is just over one light-year.

Of course, the maximum radius of the perception circle is still 1 trillion kilometers. To perceive spacetime 10 trillion kilometers away, a technique that Ye Yang calls "directional resonance" must be used.

By converging the perceived intensity from other directions into one direction, the perception is focused.

Ye Yang first sensed the 1 trillion kilometers around him. As a world lord-level powerhouse, his brain's thinking speed was comparable to that of a quantum computer, and he could process an astonishing amount of information in an instant.

Even so, Ye Yang was still unable to process the vast amount of detail he perceived in the resonant spacetime state.

The human body is highly adaptable. Through long-term use, Ye Yang has become accustomed to automatically filtering out unimportant and messy information in his resonance perception.

As he began to actively process this information, he quickly noticed an anomaly in a certain corner.

"Sixty million kilometers away, there seems to be a spatial ring inside that spaceship wreckage?"

Ye Yang opened his eyes.

Both world storage equipment and space storage equipment share the characteristic of compressing and connecting a large space into a small area.

Ye Yang's innate secret technique resonates directly with spacetime, allowing him to detect this anomaly.

"Let's go see what it is—"

brush!

Ye Yang's figure flashed, and he reappeared 60 million kilometers away.

"Huh?" The black-armored immortal was taken aback when he saw Ye Yang's signal suddenly appear in the distance. Then his eyes widened, his expression a mixture of anger and shock.

"I've been looking for so long and haven't found it. How could he have found it so quickly?"

The man in black armor couldn't afford to be shocked any longer. He immediately used the divine power avatar within the World Ring and the anonymous consciousness sensing helmet of the human virtual universe bestowed upon him by his master to report from a secluded location.

"Humans certainly know how to enjoy life."

In a virtual universe, within a massive virtual life game, in a private room of a restaurant, a woman with an ordinary face, yet exuding a mysterious and noble aura, is enjoying wine and pastries.

Suddenly, the smart assistant notified me that a friend had logged into the virtual game world.

brush!

A man in black, who also had an ordinary appearance, suddenly teleported in. As soon as he entered the private room, he respectfully knelt on the ground and said, "Master."

This is exactly how that black-armored alien immortal entered the virtual universe through an anonymous account!

Humanity's virtual universe can be connected to almost anywhere in the original universe, which is very useful. Therefore, capable and powerful individuals will try to create some anonymous helmets to transmit messages.

In the virtual universe of humanity, they naturally need to use human forms.

On the contrary, ordinary humans are the ones who most enjoy transforming into strange and monstrous forms.

"Hmm?" The elegant woman raised an eyebrow slightly, asking with a gentle smile, "How is it? Did you find it?"

"Your subordinate deserves to die! While clearing out the weaklings, a powerful King-level Immortal flew out of a spaceship; his strength is already close to that of a high-level King."

The man in black armor recounted the whole story.

In fact, when carrying out the tasks given to him by his master, he valued keeping a low profile the most.

Cleaning up the smaller fish is only done in two situations:

1. Some combat squads prefer to ambush others from ruins. If a combat squad is hidden within a 1 million kilometer radius of the target being searched by the Black Armored Men, it is highly likely that they will find the target while the Black Armored Men are searching for a hiding place.

Are the black-armored men going to keep an eye on those combat squads? No, wiping them out is the easiest way.

The second scenario involves a flight that passes by but travels directly towards him.

Unfortunately, the spaceship Ye Yang's team was on was heading straight for the man in black, so he casually cleaned up the spaceship and the humans inside as trash.

I never expected to find a dragon while frying fish in a fishpond!

The probability was extremely low, yet the black-armored man still encountered it.

After listening to her servants' report, the woman shook her head indifferently: "Try to get it back. If you can't, so be it. Just don't perish."

Although she possessed numerous powerful, immortal servants who held the title of King, the black-armored man before her had followed her for many years.

She was only sent out to do odd jobs because her strength was average and she couldn't offer much help in battles at her current level.

But even a dog can develop some affection over time. She found this black-armored servant to be very useful and naturally did not want him to perish because of it.

In reality, the black-armored immortal, having quickly completed his report and received further instructions, had a fierce look in his eyes.

"This alien race is truly courting death, daring to lay a finger on what belongs to their master!"

"That Black Shadow King is an idiot too. He actually left the treasure in the wreckage of the floating spaceship! The master was just delayed by something and only recently remembered to send me to retrieve the reward. The treasure has drifted away and we can't find it anywhere."

The man in black armor accelerated at full speed, heading towards the ruins of the spaceship where Ye Yang was.

Ye Yang, upon arriving at the spaceship ruins, immediately obtained the world ring hidden within the alloy walls of the ruins.

"Let's see what's inside."

The world ring was in a state of not recognizing a master, and Ye Yang's world power easily probed into it.

Then—he saw a vast, endless land with a stone platform on it, upon which sat a stone box about 6 meters high, 10 meters long, and 4 meters wide.

The stone box has ancient and complex special patterns that seem to suppress the items inside.

The aura and energy fluctuations emanating from this stone box pushed the entire world to its limit.

"If this weren't a sufficiently large world ring—the larger the ring, the more stable the world—it probably wouldn't be able to contain this stone box, would it?"

Ye Yang was astonished. What kind of item was this? Even the mere object used to seal it could easily shatter ordinary spatial rings; a world ring was required to contain it.

Ye Yang's world power became ethereal, attempting to penetrate the interior of the stone box.

"It doesn't significantly hinder telekinesis!"

Ye Yang was overjoyed and soon saw the items inside the stone box: a turquoise treasure shaped like a lotus flower and a stone slab.

There seemed to be a powerful energy surging inside the emerald lotus, but under the suppression of the stone box, it was completely sealed inside without any loss.

"There seems to be something carved on that stone slab inside? The script seems to be a script used by the Zerg Queens."

Ye Yang quickly translated the text after checking, and the gist of it was:

"Your Majesty, Queen Nan Cheng of the Zerg, I, Black Shadow King of the Qiao Yang Clan, express my heartfelt gratitude. This precious Seven Star Jade Heart Flower is a gift to you as payment for your slaying of the Savage Mountain King, thus freeing me from the pursuit of countless eons."

Upon seeing this, Ye Yang's smile vanished.

His brow furrowed: "The Black Shadow King?"

He immediately thought of the black-armored alien outside, but as Ye Yang asked Babata to look up information, this suspicion was quickly dispelled.

"Black Shadow King, a peak-level King-ranking expert of the Qiao Yang Clan, a subordinate race of the Zerg, was once hunted down by the Barbarian King for millions of epochs for killing one of the Barbarian King's immortal-level disciples. Even before the Barbarian King's death, the bounty on Black Shadow King's whereabouts was not withdrawn."

After Ye Yang's virtual universe permissions were upgraded by the Chaos City Lord, they were now equivalent to those of a King-level Immortal. At least, he could find all the information that a King-level Immortal could find in the virtual universe.

Then the image of the "Black Yin King" appeared. The name came from the secret method by which he became famous, not from his appearance.

The Black Shadow King, on the contrary, often appeared wearing a set of white armor.

It was definitely not the black-armored man outside.

"The Zerg Queen 'Southern Punishment,' the Black Shadow King of the Qiao Yang Clan, I'll remember that."

Ye Yang muttered to himself as he put the stone box into his spatial ring.
