Chapter 982: True Yan Knight

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In True Yan's palace, all the other great beings were warm and cheerful. It was always was to be on good terms with a universe knight. And the other universe knights in the Hong Alliance were pretty close with True Yan.

Why? Because not all universe knights were the same. Those who had evolved from pinnacle emperors were completely different from universe knights who had evolved from invincible emperors.

There were two kinds of invincible emperors. Silver Eye represented the first type. He had a high life-level. Thus, it was easy for him to become an invincible emperor.

True Yan Emperor represented the second type. He was at an average level within his race and struggled to improve his genes; they were blessed if they could improve it ten times. How difficult it was for them to become invincible emperors—they had to first survive universe knights! This path required some distinctive special skills.

Both of them had great combat power after becoming universe knights. A warrior of the first type had a great godly body after turning into a universe knight. As for the second type, if one could survive universe knight attacks when they were only an undying fighter, how mighty would they be after becoming a universe knight?

Eventually, all the guests left except for Wu Tang Knight.

Wu Tang Knight and True Yan Knight had been close friends for a long time, even remaining close after Wu Tang Knight became a universe knight.

"Wu Tang," True Yan Knight said. "Do you know what's going on with Blade River Emperor? I came here with him, and we accepted our inheritance together at the beginning. But after that, I started to live in seclusion and haven't heard anything about him. Do you know anything?"

He had become a universe knight, yet Luo Feng hadn't come to congratulate him. He knew something was wrong.

Wu Tang Knight had a firm voice. "You don't know anything that's happened since? Then you've really missed a lot. Blade River Emperor stole everyone's thunder by accepting all the battle invitations sent to him by the heirs on this island…"

Wu Tang Knight started to elaborate—from Luo Feng's 620,000 battles to the assassination attempt… and to what had happened recently in Nine Remoteness Space. True Yan Emperor was beaming at first, but as the story went on, his face took on a ghastly expression, especially when he heard how Luo Feng had nearly been assassinated and was now trapped in an impasse because of Bark Mirror Emperor.

"They say Blade River Emperor is Luo Feng," Wu Tang Knight said, smiling at True Yan. "Is Blade River Emperor really your disciple?"

"You don't need to worry about that." True Yan said.

"Haha…" Wu Tang Knight nodded with a smile.

"I need to ask you a favor," True Yan said.

"Just say the word," replied Wu Tang Knight.

He truly did value True Yan highly. For one thing, they had been confidants before. Plus, he believed True Yan had a bright future ahead of him. Given humans' talents, each invincible emperor that could make a breakthrough and become a universe knight was extraordinary.

"I need some information on the dangerous places in the Ancestral God Secret Region," True Yan said. "Especially Nine Remoteness Space."

"You want to go there?" Wu Tang Knight answered. action

"Are you kidding?" Fierceness flashed through True Yan's eyes. "How could I not go?"

"Haha! The ferocious True Yan!" Wu Tang nodded. "I've already sent all the information to you through virtual universe."

True Yan grinned. "I've been in Primal Chaos City for hundreds of millions of years. I wonder if anyone remembers me."

******

After only half a day.

After True Yan was in his palace, patiently preparing.

"My old friend," he said, "perhaps you feel really lonely after hundreds of millions of years of not being used."

Suddenly, a black staff appeared in True Yan's hands, and there were two golden hoops on each end of the staff. The staff looked like a simple antique, which was a treasure True Yan had obtained when adventuring in the universe long ago. It had remained by his side through countless adventures, and its killing power had helped make him an invincible emperor.

"My disciple treats me as his family," he said. "I couldn't have become a universe knight without him. This Bark Mirror Emperor dared to bully my disciple. As such, how can I spare him? A special life form, skilled at soul attack and inspection…!"

True Yan suddenly became aggressive. In the past, he had roamed the universe, killing countless fighters to become an invincible emperor. He had lived in seclusion for so long that many of the undying of his generation had died.

"I've created three pinnacle techniques during the past few hundred million of years. Now that I'm a universe knight, I'll try them on you first!"

Madness filled True Yan Emperor's eyes. He had provoked universe knights before and had survived. He was born to be reckless. His disposition grew savage. After an eternity spent in Primal Chaos City, the real True Yan was back!

Sou!

True Yan flew out of his palace and teleported to the spring portal in front of the palace of the guarding beast god and entered the secret region.

A universe knight could teleport over 1,000 light years. In less than half a day, True Yan arrived at Rock Island in Nine Remoteness Space.

"I'll wait here." True Yan sat at the apex of a mountain with his legs crossed. "Based on the information Wu Tang gave me, the heirs adventuring here will often come back to Rock Island and rest. So when Bark Mirror Emperor comes back…"

True Yan closed his eyes. He was like a tiger—relaxed yet ready to pounce and kill at any moment.

******

Under Rock Island and at the bottom of Nine Remoteness Ocean, in another world, Luo Feng fled helter-skelter, doing his best just to stay ahead of the army by moving as quickly as possible.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Three shadows flashed in the sky and stopped. They were the noble prince and his two universe knights. Both of the universe knights had red skin and bloody horns.

Coldness flashed in the prince's eyes. "We still haven't found this foreign invader, even after all this time."

"Your highness," the lanky universe knight said, "our Nine Remoteness World is vast, and that intruder must constantly be fleeing from us. Perhaps he's far away by now. It could take some time to find him."

"Some time? How long?" The prince frowned. "I'll give an order now. In my territory, each city shall designate half of its soldiers to search for the intruder from another race! Each of them will connect to the virtual world, and if anyone finds him, they will alert me right away. And all the soldiers must remain connected to the virtual world with their minds. Being disconnected means death at the hands of that intruder!"

Each prince was in charge of one territory, and they were the only leaders of their territories respectively. The prince gave an order to all the armies under him through the virtual world.

A great number of undying warriors and sector lord-level warriors flocked to the sky and flew out in different directions. Each of the warriors was responsible for one area.

"Search! Search! Search!"

"Quickly!"

"Go! Search the undying intruder!"

The creatures in Nine Remoteness World were special, as they all had red bodies and bloody horns. They were high-powered life forms with great talents. Like Golden Horned Beasts, they became sector lords automatically as they matured. However, their life level was the same as humans', as they didn't have talent techniques. Since everyone could become a sector lord when they became adults, sector lords were common in the cities, yet compared to humans, the race had a very small population.

Howl!

Howl!

All the indigenous warriors were baying with excitement. They were distributed everywhere across the sky. Some of them used world projection, some used law domain, and some even used undying-power inspection. In short, they were trying anything they could think of to search for Luo Feng.

******

Nine Remoteness World was not very large, yet Luo Feng hadn't seen even a single member of the race. After more than ten days fleeing, Luo Feng finally ran into the first searcher.

While hiding beneath a lake, Luo Feng looked up and saw a bloody shadow flying quickly through the sky. At the same time, an undying power swept across the lake.

Luo Feng hid himself with the micro-detector. He looked above and thought, Humph! You think you can find me with such simple undying-power inspection? Not while I've got the most advanced micro-detector I can afford.

However, as the undying power passed over Luo Feng, it suddenly stopped.

"No… I'm found." Luo Feng realized immediately. "How could I be found?"

The bloody shadow in the sky wheeled around sharply, looked down, and grew excited. "Intruder!" it wailed.

Sou!

Luo Feng didn't have the luxury to ponder how he had been found. He flew out of the water, shook his wings, and shot across the sky like a beam of silver light.

"Intruder! I found the intruder!" the undying warrior screamed as it flew after Luo Feng, but it was being left farther and farther behind. He immediately reported it through his virtual world. "Haha! I found him! This intruder thought I couldn't find him just because he used a detector! Haha! In our Nine Remoteness World, my undying power is combined with Nine Remoteness World energies, and I can distinguish all creatures outside of my race. Even universe knights cannot escape us once they're here."

Sou!

Sou!

Sou!

Luo Feng was terrifically fast, and he soon flew out of the undying warrior's sight.

"How could I have been found?" Luo Feng was bewildered as he flew. "Even invincible emperors can't find me when I turn my detector on. Bark Mirror Emperor found me because of his extraordinary inspection skills, but this was only an ordinary undying creature of this indigenous race! How did he find me? I'm in trouble… Big trouble."

Luo Feng knew peace was no longer an option.

Indeed, at that moment, the prince raced toward the area with his two universe knights the moment he got the news, and he arranged some undying warriors and universe knights to stop Luo Feng.
