Original Universe, outside Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm.
After more than ten years of Dark Universe travel, the Shadow Dragon spaceship arrived at this relatively famous Universe Secret Realm.
Inside the spaceship's control room.
Ender, looking at the entrance of the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm through a virtual external simulation, sighed, "It's a good thing the Secret Realm coordinates given by my teacher included one not too far from our Human Territory, otherwise I would have had to consider Soul enslaved of an alien King-level Immortal in the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
He had no alien Soul enslaved subordinates, and Mullie was only a Peak Marquis-level Immortal, who had never left the Human Race territory, and had not left a Immortal Energy token outside the Human Territory.
This meant that if he wanted to reach the relatively distant Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm, he could only travel slowly in the Dark Universe.
The reason Ender traveled slowly and didn't go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to enslave an alien King-level Immortal was because, having lost the Frost Armor, he couldn't use the identity of King Verdant End.
If, when he had refined and fused with the Frost Armor, his aura and pressure were a blend of vibrant Vitality and icy death.
Then, after refining the Dragon Awakening Spear, his aura and pressure were that of the profound and mysterious vast life, as if containing endless mysteries, making him unfathomable.
Through the virtual external simulation, Ender looked at the glowing entrance of the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm and whispered, "The Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm is still evolving and expanding, but in terms of resources and treasures produced, it's far inferior to the Hongwu Secret Realm of the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
Although the Hongwu Secret Realm is located in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, it is considered rich in resources throughout the entire Original Universe, but its location in the Extraterritorial Battlefield of the four Pinnacle races prevents many alien Universe Venerables from exploring it.
"My destination this time is the Will Tempering Ground in the inner area of the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm."
Ender's consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, and a map of the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm appeared before him, highlighting a special environment—Howling Star!
The so-called Howling Star is a special planet located in the inner area of the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm.
The surface of this planet has many cracks and canyons of varying sizes, and in those canyons, sounds resembling mournful weeping often echo. Their howling can penetrate the Soul and cause resonance; those with unstable wills will become sad and despairing, and in severe cases, they will directly commit suicide!
As Ender's consciousness was examining the map, the Shadow Dragon spaceship smoothly passed through the Secret Realm entrance and arrived inside the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm, then continued to accelerate, preparing to enter the Dark Universe and travel towards the inner Howling Star.
Buzz!
Suddenly, space rippled, and a figure appeared with the spatial fluctuation—it was an alien King-level Immortal who instantly moved onto the Shadow Dragon spaceship's navigation path.
It was a gray, scaly sphere, about five meters in diameter, with eight eyes, a giant mouth, and many slender tentacles on its surface.
"It can teleport. From its aura, it's a Thunder Cleft Race Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal. Is it here to block the way and rob?"
Due to the close distance, Ender could see the opponent without a detector and immediately recognized its identity.
Since leaving the Human Territory, he had encountered frequent roadblocks and robberies, and even the Dark Universe had many bandits.
Because his detector was of a high Rank, he could often spot bandits hundreds of millions of kilometers away, and he usually avoided them in advance to prevent trouble.
However, this time was different; the opponent blocked the way with instant movement, and the Shadow Dragon did not have time to evade.
Buzz!
Ender reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that he was about to collide with the opponent, to prevent damage to the Shadow Dragon, he directly put the spaceship into his world ring.
The dark-red rhomboid spaceship disappeared, leaving only him, clad in dark-gold battle armor, holding the golden Dragon Awakening Spear, and stepping on the black Flying Wing Shuttle, standing in the Void.
"So it's a Human King-level Immortal."
Feeling Ender's profound and mysterious aura and pressure, the gray spherical Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal transmitted, "Human, you should be a Pinnacle stage King-Level Immortal, right?"
The Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal's voice was hoarse and grating, as if produced by wood impression together.
"Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal, are you blocking the way to rob?"
Ender's expression was cold, his eyes filled with killing intent, "Your luck is very bad; you met me!"
During more than ten years of traveling through the Dark Universe, due to hurrying and the opponents being too weak, he had never fought.
Now, a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal blocking his way was the perfect first opponent after he obtained the Dragon Awakening Spear and 'Hundred Fiends Battle Spirit Armor'.
Whoosh!
Ender activated the Flying Wing Shuttle, and a pair of black wing phantoms enveloped him. With a gentle flap of the black wings, he instantly flew over a hundred thousand kilometers.
"Such speed!"
The Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal was slightly surprised, then thought, "It seems to be a Human King-level Immortal skilled in flight. If I were a Warrior, it would indeed be tricky, but unfortunately, I am a Spiritual Master…"
Swish, swish!
Two Rank eight Spirit Weapons flew out, instantly activating the Law secret patterns on them, transforming into two streaks of light that traversed space, shooting towards Ender.
"Spiritual Master."
Seeing the two streaks of light approaching, Ender wielded the Dragon Awakening Spear in his hand, forming a golden barrier.
Boom!
Boom!!
The two streaks of light charged forward, colliding with extreme speed against the golden barrier formed by the Dragon Awakening Spear, and the powerful impact of the collision tore space apart.
Crack!!
Upon impact, the two Spirit Weapons instantly disintegrated, the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal's Immortal Energy on them was annihilated, and the parts of the weapons that collided showed damage and cracks.
"Limit stage King!"
The Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal was inwardly terrified. He felt his Immortal Energy controlling the Spirit Weapons being annihilated, and even the Spirit Weapons themselves were damaged.
"Absolutely a Limit stage King! And a Limit stage King powerhouse with a pseudo-Heavy Treasure or Heavy Treasure!"
With just one strike, the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal felt the urge to retreat. He knew how terrifying a Limit stage King powerhouse was and did not wish to fight such a formidable enemy.
"Die!"
Ender's flying speed was extremely fast, reaching near light speed in just over a second, and he had already arrived before the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal.
"Escape!"
The Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal wanted to use instant movement, but the problem was that the distance was too close to react, and the surrounding space had already been disturbed and torn, preventing him from performing a quick instant movement.
Boom!
The golden Dragon Awakening Spear swept out, directly striking the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal's body. The defensive force field formed by his Rank eight battle armor instantly disintegrated, and then his Divine Body was annihilated and collapsed by the terrifying power.
"No!"
Suffering a single blow, the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal immediately shrieked in terror, "Human powerhouse, spare me!"
His heart was filled with immense terror, simply because the Human King-level Immortal opposite him—was too terrifying!
With just one strike, his Divine Body lost over 30%, and his strength plummeted from its Pinnacle to less than 50%.
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
"Too strong, too terrifying! This Human King-level Immortal made me lose over 30% of my Divine Body with one strike; he's definitely a powerhouse close to Invincible stage King-Level!"
The Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal was filled with fear and unease, "A powerhouse close to Invincible stage King-Level, how could he appear in this Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm? The resources and treasures of the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm shouldn't attract such a powerhouse."
"Mercy?"
Ender, holding the spear with both hands, swung it out and transmitted coldly, "Yes, if you become my Soul enslaved subordinate, I will spare you."
Upon hearing this, the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal immediately became enraged, "Bastard! Making me a Soul enslaved subordinate, you might as well just let me die."
In his view, becoming a Soul enslaved subordinate was even more terrifying than death, because it would even change his will, making him regard his master as a supreme existence and absolutely obey his master.
"Since you're unwilling, then go die!"
Ender's eyes were cold, and the golden Dragon Awakening Spear in his hand swept out, striking towards the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal.
Boom!
The golden long spear, carrying terrifying power, fiercely struck the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal, causing his Divine Body to lose nearly another 40%.
"Cannot escape! Cannot escape!! This Human King-level Immortal's attack power is too terrifying; with one move, he disrupts and tears the surrounding space."
The Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal's eight eyes revealed despair, "There's no chance. With my comprehension of Space Law, I cannot instantly move quickly out of this disturbed space."
"How could such a terrifying powerhouse come to the Mysterious Hawk Secret Realm? He should be in a Secret Realm with richer resources and treasures."
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret, "If I had known that such a powerful Human King-level Immortal would be in that spaceship, I would never have blocked the way to rob."
Because he discovered that the Shadow Dragon spaceship had not integrated a metal lifeform, he thought that at most there would only be a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal inside the spaceship, but he never expected that there would be a terrifying powerhouse who could take his life.
"I'm doomed. I've been a Pinnacle stage King-Level Immortal for hundreds of millions of years, relying on plunder to obtain vast wealth for my race, but I never expected to fall during a plunder."
The Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal's eight eyes turned red, revealing a look of madness amidst despair, "You want to Soul enslaved me, you want to kill me, even if you are a powerhouse close to Invincible stage King-Level, I will make you pay the price!"
His clan was just an ordinary clan, without a great existence capable of reversing time and space. He knew that his fall this time would be eternal.
To retaliate, he decisively employed the Immortal's final resort—self-detonation!
Boom!
With less than 30% of his Divine Body remaining, the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal chose to self-detonate.
Although his Divine Body had less than 30% remaining, he was still a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal whose Immortal Energy was solidified, with a basic strength of 100,000 times that of a Peak World Master. The power of his self-detonation was extraordinary!
The remaining Immortal Energy of the Thunder Cleft Race King-level Immortal transformed into light and heat, surging in all directions. Space fragments, under this terrifying power, turned into particle streams, swept along and rushed outwards.
Due to the extremely close distance, Ender was engulfed by the light and heat generated by the self-detonation. The terrifying power continuously impacted his protective force field.
The black wings formed by the activated Flying Wing Shuttle briefly resisted some of the power before shattering. The subsequent power impacted his body's force field.
However, the battle armor Ender was wearing was the newly purchased pseudo-Heavy Treasure 'Hundred Fiends Battle Spirit Armor'. Although in terms of resisting the upper limit of attack power, it was neither as good as the Frost Armor nor many other pseudo-Heavy Treasures.
Yet, it could also weaken attack power that did not reach the Universe Venerable Rank to one-thousandth.
After being weakened by the 'Hundred Fiends Battle Spirit Armor', the self-detonation power Ender's body endured was very limited. If it were before, he would have certainly been injured.
But now, he had refined the Heavy Treasure Dragon Awakening Spear, and his body strength had greatly increased, reaching or even exceeding the toughness of F-grade metal, easily enduring the remaining power.
The light and heat impact from the self-detonation came quickly and left quickly.
When the light and heat impact ended, only shattered Cosmic space slowly repairing itself remained within tens of thousands of kilometers, and Ender, holding his spear, stood unharmed in the Void.
"This Heavy Treasure Dragon Awakening Spear is indeed powerful."
Ender looked at the repairing Cosmic space and thought, "Not only did it greatly enhance my body strength, but it also granted me 100,000 times the power of a Peak World Master. Coupled with the Heavy Treasure's own power, it allows me to easily kill a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal."
"If I solidify Fei Mo Poison on the spearhead, I could heavily injure or kill a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal with one strike, and a Limit stage King would also lose a large amount of Immortal Body."
He released the Cloud Vine to collect the spoils of war, then turned his gaze to the distance.
…
Tens of millions of kilometers away, inside a spaceship that was currently traveling.
"Too terrifying! What Rank of powerhouse is that Human Immortal? So easily killing a Pinnacle stage King-Level Immortal, and remaining unharmed in that self-detonation power."
A King-level Immortal showed a look of horror. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have doubted if the scene just now was real.
"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to obtain a high-level detector during my adventure, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to discover that terrifying Human King-level Immortal…"
"Oh no! He noticed me, I need to leave quickly!"
Seeing Ender in the light screen looking at him, this King-level Immortal revealed a terrified expression, "I must not become an enemy of such a powerhouse, otherwise I will be easily killed."
Whoosh!
The traveling spaceship accelerated to light speed, traversing into the Dark Universe.
…
"That alien King-level Immortal's detector just now was good, he probably has treasures on him."
Seeing the detector fluctuations that had been peeking at the battlefield disappear, Ender then retracted his gaze, "Since he's traversed into the Dark Universe, then so be it."
He no longer paid attention to the fleeing alien King-level Immortal. After the Cloud Vine retrieved the spoils, he took out the Shadow Dragon spaceship and continued on his way to Howling Star.
Ender sat in the spaceship's control room, scanning the newly acquired world ring, and was somewhat surprised, "This Thunder Cleft Race Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal is too poor; his entire fortune is less than 1 billion Mixed units."
It should be noted that in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, a typical Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal usually has a fortune of tens of billions of Mixed units, and even wealthier High Stage King-Level can have tens of billions of Mixed units.
But now, that Thunder Cleft Race Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal only had a mere few hundred million Mixed units, not much different from a Low Stage King-level Immortal in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
"A Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal with only a few hundred million Mixed units, it's probably the norm for ordinary, weak clans in the Universe."
Ender pondered for a moment and whispered, "Ordinary, weak clan King-level Immortal fighting in the Extraterritorial Battlefield can accumulate wealth by killing Marquis-level Immortal."
"Furthermore, it's easy to accumulate wealth far away in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and they have enough wealth on them before dedicating their acquired wealth to their clan."
"However, alien King-level Immortals adventuring in Universe Secret Realms are different. There aren't many powerhouses to hunt in Universe Secret Realms, so it's normal for their wealth to be scarce."
Ender shook his head slightly, "It seems that killing a King-level Immortal in a Universe Secret Realm doesn't necessarily lead to a large amount of wealth."
The Shadow Dragon spaceship continued its journey towards Howling Star, arriving at that special planet full of canyons after several tens of days…
