"Master, we have received an urgent message from Domain Lord Carlos via the virtual universe network."
Chapter 15 Leave it to me
Lu Ming suddenly stopped: "Connect."
The next moment, Carlos's slightly hurried voice rang in his mind: "Old Lu! Come to the coordinates I marked immediately! There's been a major discovery! The situation is a bit complicated, and we may need to work together to take it down! Manji and Shadow Shuttle are already on their way!"
As the voice spoke, precise spatial coordinates were transmitted to Lu Ming's personal computer. The location was deep within the area that Carlos was responsible for exploring, quite a distance from where he was at the moment.
Lu Ming's eyes narrowed.
Carlos is a shrewd and cautious man. For him to use words like "major discovery," "complex situation," and "need to join forces," it must be something that is not just an ordinary treasure!
"Understood! I'll be there at full speed right away!"
Lu Ming replied without hesitation.
After ending the communication, Lu Ming didn't hesitate for a moment. With a thought, the D2-class spaceship bearing the Bluebird emblem instantly appeared beside him.
The hatch opened, and Lu Ming slipped inside.
"Qingyuan, lock onto the coordinates provided by Carlos! Start the spaceship, maximum speed, and head there!"
"Yes, Master! Flight path locked!"
Om-!
The spaceship emitted a dazzling blue flame from its tail, instantly breaking through the gravitational pull of the secret realm continent and soaring into the sky. Then, with a near right-angle turn, it accelerated wildly in the direction indicated by the coordinates!
Its speed was so great that it left a long trail of air in the sky.
At the top of a steep, knife-cut mountain peak, in a desolate stone forest area far from where Lu Ming was.
Carlos was concealing his aura, crouching as if blending into the shadow of the rock, his sharp gaze sweeping over a vast valley below.
His expression was somewhat solemn.
The valley below is not a peaceful place, but a huge and violent den of beasts!
What's even more chilling is that the leader of this pack isn't just one, but three!
One of them resembled a giant lion, but its entire body was covered with dark golden scales. It had a single horn on its forehead and a body as large as a mountain. It lay there, and the energy fluctuations emanating from its body were like those of a dormant volcano. It had clearly reached the peak of the ninth level of the Domain Lord level!
The other two were either ferocious birds with wingspans exceeding a thousand meters and feathers as if forged from metal, circling low in the sky with sharp, piercing eyes and an aura of a sixth-level Domain Lord.
The other was a giant scorpion lurking in the shadows of the valley, its venomous stinger gleaming with a ghostly blue light, and its aura had reached the fifth level of the Domain Lord level.
Besides these three domain lord-level ferocious beast leaders, thousands of other ferocious beasts, including stellar and cosmic-level beasts, are gathered in the valley. They are distributed in an orderly manner throughout the valley, as if guarding something.
"Three Domain Lord level... and one at the peak..."
A storm raged within Carlos's heart.
"What exactly is hidden in this valley that requires such a powerful force to protect it?"
He had only followed an unusually subtle yet pure energy fluctuation to find this place, thinking it was at most a treasure guarded by a domain lord-level ferocious beast. He never expected it to be such a den of dragons and tigers!
With his strength at the fourth level of the Domain Lord, he would have a hard time facing any one of them alone, let alone three of them working together, along with a huge horde of beasts.
Once discovered, he might not even have a chance to escape.
"No wonder I felt that the energy fluctuations, though subtle, had an indescribable high level... This time I've really discovered something extraordinary."
Carlos licked his slightly dry lips, his eyes filled with both apprehension and barely suppressed excitement.
A treasure that can attract three domain lord-level ferocious beasts, including a peak existence, to protect it is absolutely priceless!
He dared not make any rash moves and could only patiently lie low, while urgently contacting Lu Ming, Manji, and Ying Suo through the virtual universe network.
Now, we can only wait for our teammates to arrive before planning our next move.
His gaze was fixed on the deepest part of the valley, shrouded in thick fog that even his spiritual power could not easily penetrate; the treasure must be inside.
About half an hour later, three auras, concealed to the extreme, appeared silently behind the mountain where Carlos was.
It was Lu Ming, Manji, and Ying Suo who arrived at full speed.
Following Carlos's advice, they put away their spaceship a hundred miles away from the valley and used their own strength to conceal their whereabouts, sneaking over there to avoid alerting the sensitive beast horde below too early.
"How's it going?"
Lu Ming was the first to speak, his voice extremely low, his gaze already passing over the mountain ridge and directed towards the valley below.
They sensed the undisguised aura of the three domain lord-level ferocious beasts, especially the overwhelming pressure of one of them, which resembled the abyss of a peak ninth-level domain lord.
He also raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Good heavens, three domain lord-level beings, and there's a huge one too!"
Manji clicked his tongue. Although his tone was still rough, his expression became much more serious, clearly realizing the thorny nature of the problem.
Shadow Shuttle's figure almost blended into the shadows, and he merely nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Carlos quickly whispered what he had observed: "That's the situation. There's something strange about that layer of mist. My spiritual power can't penetrate it, but I'm certain there's a treasure inside. We can't force our way in. These three guys are working together perfectly, and with the beast horde, we won't stand a chance."
Lu Ming carefully observed the layout of the valley and the location of the three ferocious beasts, and pondered, "Indeed, that golden-scaled lion beast at the peak of the domain lord level is the biggest threat."
"How should we do it? Lao Lu, you have a lot of ideas, tell me."
Manji looked at Lu Ming.
Carlos and Shadow Shuttle also turned their gazes to Lu Ming.
In situations requiring tactical coordination, Lu Ming is usually the backbone.
Lu Ming really wanted to say, "You guys can just stand on the sidelines and watch."
He could wipe out all those monsters by himself.
After thinking for a moment.
Lu Ming finally made up his mind.
Stand up.
His gaze swept calmly across the valley below, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"You all wait here and do not make a move. Leave the rest to me."
Upon hearing this, Carlos, Manji, and Shadow Shuttle were all taken aback.
"Old Lu, are you kidding me!"
Carlos quickly whispered.
"You've only just broken through to the Domain Lord level. Even with your greatly increased strength, there are still three Domain Lord-level ferocious beasts below you, one of which is at its peak! And that's not even considering the horde of beasts..."
Manji frowned as well: "Yes, Lao Lu, I know you're happy that you broke through, but this isn't the time to show off!"
Although Yingsuo did not speak, he also disagreed.
However, before they could finish speaking—
Swish!
Lu Ming's figure vanished from the spot without warning, like a ghost!
"what?!"
"So fast!"
The three men's pupils contracted sharply, their hearts filled with horror! This speed far exceeded their understanding of a Domain Lord level!
They quickly turned their gaze to the valley below.
Lu Ming's figure appeared out of nowhere, standing proudly in the center of the open space in front of the beasts, as if a god had descended from heaven!
He didn't exude any powerful aura, yet the ferocious beasts around him instinctively felt fear and let out uneasy growls.
The three domain lord-level ferocious beast leaders were also instantly alarmed!
"Roar!"
The golden-scaled lion beast was the first to let out a warning roar, its sound waves rolling.
Lu Ming seemed not to hear, and with a flick of his right hand, a battle blade burning with crimson flames instantly appeared in his hand!
Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his ultimate technique in the face of the beast horde rushing in from all directions and the three domain lord-level leaders!
"Nine Absolute Blades of the Ember Universe - The Eighth Blade!"
Chapter 16 One Slash Clears the Field
He gripped the sword with both hands, spun around, and a ring of sword light, condensed to its extreme and emitting a dark red hue, slashed out instantly from his center!
boom! !
puff! puff! puff! puff!
Those stellar-level and cosmic-level ferocious beasts that pounced on were like butter being sliced by a hot knife; their bodies instantly stiffened, and then they silently broke in two!
Before the blood could even gush out, it was vaporized by the terrifying heat and destructive intent contained within the blade's light!
With a single strike, hundreds of ferocious beasts instantly perished!
At that moment, the attacks of the three domain lord-level ferocious beasts finally arrived!
Faced with this terrifying ring of blade light, the golden-scaled lion beast's pounce, the ferocious bird's claws, and the giant scorpion's venomous hook all seemed so pale and powerless!
The blade flashed—
boom! ! !
Like a devastating blow!
The ferocious birds and giant scorpions were the first to be hit. Their attacks, along with their protective energy, were instantly annihilated by the blade light. Their massive bodies were cleanly sliced open, and before the horror in their eyes could dissipate, their life force was completely extinguished!
Meanwhile, the Golden Scale Lion Beast, at the peak of the Domain Lord level, with its superior strength and reflexes, crossed its claws to protect its chest at the critical moment, and its dark golden scales burst forth with dazzling light!
however--
"Bang!!"
With a muffled thud, the Golden Scaled Lion Beast was struck as if by a high-speed planet. Its massive body was sent flying uncontrollably, crashing into the mountainside hundreds of meters away, stirring up clouds of dust and causing the entire valley to tremble!
