Swallowed Star
chapter-818

At the edge of Yan Ji main continent, there was a majestic golden palace amongst the desert, and it stood out within the desert.

Strong warriors normally hid themselves within mountain caves, underground caves, underwater caves and so on. As for this incredibly visible palace, it definitely belonged only to pinnacle warriors of the area, and the current owner of this palace was…

Black Jade emperor!

As a pinnacle emperor with teleportation ability, he truly feared no one within the Yan Ji main continent.

Sou!

In the air above the palace, a 3m tall silhouette appeared. It was a human shaped black ball of flame. This flame gathered into a black robed warrior.

“Black Grace Emperor.”

The powerful being Black Jade emperor had immediately discovered the enemy arriving, communicating, “You are from the demon camp, why are you here? Do you want to fight?” They were both the top powers of the main continent, both with teleportation ability, and if they did fight, it would only be a waste of time.

“Black Jade emperor! Ci Wei Ka!” The black robed warrior communicated. “I know the Silver Wing emperor’s location. If you want the coordinates, you’ll have to exchange for it with two hundred million indigo gems worth of treasure. Remember…this location is his current location, you’ll have to act fast or he’ll be gone soon.”

Sou! Sou!

Two silhouettes appeared outside the palace. One was a short skinny masked Black Grace emperor with beast claws, and the other was the automaton Ci Wei Ka. Ci Wei Ka had been staying in this palace since he put out the bounty, because…the moment he got the whereabouts of the Silver Wing emperor, he could immediately teleport over with Black Jade emperor.

“You say you know where he is? However you want two hundred million indigo gems just for the coordinates?” Ci Wei Ka roared.

“It’s a treasure worth two hundred million indigo gems, and I have no way to use your automaton currency.” Black grace emperor communicated. “You can continue to waste time. The longer you wait, the farther he’ll go. Then you wouldn’t be able to find him anymore. Twelve seconds have already passed.”

“Bastard.”

Ci Wei Ka gritted his teeth within.

Even a pinnacle emperor wouldn’t earn money this fast. Even if they took it easy for over 10,000 years, they probably wouldn’t even earn this much, and yet he demanded this absurd amount just for the information.

“I’ll pay.” Ci Wei Ka flipped his hand and a space ring appeared as he tossed it over.

Black Grace emperor received it and quickly scanned through.

“Not bad.”

“These are the coordinates.” He immediately sent it over to Ci Wei Ka and Black Jade.

“You will come with us.” Ci Wei Ka ordered.

“Relax, this news was given to me from a low emperor, and it was probably before he died, it’s definitely right. Since I’ve already received the two hundred million indigo gems worth of treasures, I’ll accompany you. Let’s go.” Black Grace was confident, as he truly feared no one here on the main continent.

Sou!

Ci Wei Ka, Black Jade and Black Grace all instantly followed Black Jade’s teleportation to the lake where Luo Feng had just fought the black armored youth.

*******

Within the slits of space.

The Golden horned beast didn’t care much about searching through the items after detonating the flame god crystal. He immediately kept the G grade cabin along with the two world rings and black whip into his own space.

“I cannot delay!”

“Before his death, he may have called for help, I better leave fast. I can go through the treasures later.”

Sou!

The beast tore through space and returned back to the actual universe, appearing in the depths of the river. After which, he switched back to his earth body, melding the Sha Wu wings on his body. As to why…it was because the beast’s body was simply too huge, since the body was over 100km, along with a tail that was over 100km long too, as well as its wings.

The mini scanner only had a scanning area of 20km diameter, it couldn’t even cover the entire beast’s body.

Rumble!

He flapped his wings and flew up, rushing through the rock stratum and out of the deep river, out to the surface.

Sou!

He swiftly fled.

“The battle before caused too much of a commotion, the combined attack of the bug army may attract other warriors over. I have to quickly flee.” Luo Feng flapped his wings and unleashed Strike travel. His speed accelerated, even though he was rushing, he was extremely happy within.

He had planned for pretty long to get this treasure from that warrior.

He had wanted to attack the moment he felt that calling, however he forced himself to return to the camp and raise his strength before returning. He finally managed to kill him and got the treasure.

…

At the bottom of the river.

Hu!

Ci Wei Ka, Black Jade and Black Grace all appeared simultaneously.

“Such powerful energy ripples.” Black jade communicated.

“Very strong indeed.” Black Grace’s expression changed too.

“The Silver Wing emperor may be here, keep scanning.” Ci Wei Ka couldn’t care less, immediately using his large scanner and small scanners to cover the area about.

…

“Not good.” Luo Feng who was flying swiftly activated his large and mini scanners simultaneously.

His large scanner detected the enemy.

His small scanner was to protect himself and jam signals from stronger enemies.

When the three warriors appeared in the cave beneath the river, Luo Feng’s large scanner immediately detected them.

“It’s them!” Luo Feng was shocked.

Luo Feng had no way to identify Ci Wei Ka because he had never revealed himself before in the battle before.

As for Black Jade and Black Grace however, Lou Feng immediately recognized them. When he was chatting with the other emperors back in the camp, he got to know of several beings he couldn’t deal with on the main continent.

Black Jade and Black Grace were amongst them.

“They actually teleported here! That automaton…he could very likely be the one who put the bounty on me, that extremely wealthy one.” Luo Feng laughed as he recognized Ci Wei Ka, “I have to thank you. If you didn’t give me so much resources, the cloud contact vine wouldn’t have been able to breakthrough to undying so quickly, and I wouldn’t have been able to kill that Na Shi warrior and get his treasure too.”

“Stop!”

Luo Feng was swiftly flying slowed down fiercely and flew slowly, he relied on the mini scanner to protect himself. Also…the moment he detected the enemies, he immediately shut off his large scanner.

He didn’t dare fly too quickly as it would generate space ripples and tears in space, this would make it easy for the enemy to track him.

…

The three other race warriors activated their scanners.

“Anything?”

The three of them were all shocked.

“Black Grace emperor.” Ci Wei Ka looked at him, “I trusted you and passed you the treasures immediately. However the Silver Wing emperor isn’t even here. Did you give me the coordinates too late? Or are you deliberately deceiving me?”

“It hasn’t even been thirty seconds since I acquired the coordinates.” Black Grace communicated. “Thirty seconds, he couldn’t have fled more than nine million km…and our large scanners, the smallest has a diameter of three hundred million km, there’s no way he’s out of our scanning range. The fact that we cannot find him…shows that his small scanner is very advanced.”

“Advanced?”

Ci Wei Ka was unsatisfied, “I’ve battled him, his scanners were average.”

“You battled him in the past, wouldn’t he then go purchase a better scanner after?” Black Grace scoffed.

“Don’t fight!” Black Jade roared. “I’ll head into the space slits to check if he’s in there. Also…Black Grace…help feel the space about and see if there’s any special changes in the ripples, the moment there’s any, it might be him.”

“Hm.” Black Grace nodded, “I’ve already got my treasures, I’m willing to help.”

Tear!

Black Jade tore through the space and pierced deep in, emerging a few seconds after.

“Anything?” Ci Wei Ka looked at him.

“There are countless fragments within but nothing special.” Black Jade said. “I think he should have returned to the original universe after his battle, the chances of him being within is very low. Let’s check the surrounding area well.”

“Ok.” Ci Wei Ka nodded.

There were many ways to scanning the space about.

The easiest was to use undying energy to scan, however this was a crude way of doing so.

A higher level scan would be like using a scanner, the level of scan would be dependent on how advanced the scanner itself was. A lousier scanner would be like a normal undying scanning, a better one would exceed even an emperor’s.

A higher level one would be using law domain or world projection.

Law domain and world projection both were usage of the universe laws. These were things only warriors of this level had, it wasn’t something one could simply have with comprehension. Within a law domain…the god was the owner. Within the world projection, the sector lord was the owner, they could clearly feel everything within.

Of course…

The thunder hell of nine absolute god country were other space techniques that could do this.

“I’ve set up my Hexagon Prison with an diameter of one hundred million km.” Ci Wei Ka said. “As long as he’s within one hundred million km, I will find him.”

Shua!

The three of them rushed out into the air above the lake.

After which Black Jade brought Ci Wei Ka and teleported swiftly to six spots about, leaving behind a ship in each location. One had to know that the nine absolute god country was very mysterious. It was something an automaton knight spent a lot of time and effort on, and it had many uses. Even without one ship, even though it couldn’t unleash its strongest god country.

The other 8 still had many uses.

Each ship could even unleash a domain more powerful than Thunder hell.

Six ships in different locations…they activated the Hexagonal prison.

“Weng…” Countless beams of lights shot out and engulfed the one hundred million km area, spreading over the mountains and permeating through tens of millions of km of land and river…

Everything was within its scanning area.

Luo Feng, who was flying slowly to avoid creating space ripples naturally was covered within.
