Chapter 803: Star Tower
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
In the vast skies, a silver beam of light flashed past.
The Golden horned beast was flying close to light speed.
"It’s a pity that the nine pyramids were all so far apart. Since I got the broken one, the others won’t be able to catch me even at their max speed." Luo Feng felt the pinch for the automaton warrior that just lost a huge treasure.
The nine pyramids were worth a shocking amount. He had gotten three billion points when he passed the primal region domain lord sky mountain. He estimated that this pyramid ship would be worth quite a bit too.
"Such a reward sure is a blessing." Luo Feng exclaimed.
Actually, if it weren’t for the sector lord bug kings that tore apart this ship, even if the Golden horned beast could catch up to the ship, it wouldn’t have been able to break through.
...
While flying, Luo Feng reflected on the battle from before.
From start to end, he never made any mistakes, however it was extremely tough.
Firstly, his scanner wasn’t as advanced as his opponent. Hence, it allowed his opponent to have the advantage. Against the surrounding nine million automatons, he had no other way but to let the Golden horned beast to appear. And while the beast was intrepid, it was easy to get the 100s of thousands of puppets to force the opponent to use his trump card, the Nine absolute god country.
The moment the god country was unleashed.
Especially with the countless purple threads binding him, it made the beast lose its greatest advantage of speed, allowing it to be attacked by the eighty one gods over and over. Luckily the Sha Wu wings had incredible defense. It finally had the chance when the eighty one gods were replenishing their energy, to instantly unleash the million sector lord army.
"Seems wise."
"Luckily I held out until the final moment before finally using the bug army! If I used it from the start, whether it’s the nine million F9 puppets or the eighty one gods, I’d lose out. The combined attack of the bug army is incredibly powerful, but their defense is too weak…"
"Overall…"
"The reason I was disadvantaged is mainly because…of my scanner!"
"Without it, I’m not able to detect his movements, and got dragged along by his games. If my scanner was more advanced than his…I wouldn’t have been ambushed. I would have detected him long ago, even not even letting him detect me." Luo Feng exclaimed. "The tragedy was…even up till now, I still don’t know where the real body is!"
Luo Feng and Ci Wei Ka both had their trump cards!
Ci Wei Ka was weak himself, he relied on his apparatus and techniques etc.
Luo Feng was stronger.
He lost out on having a lousier scanner, allowing his enemy to control the flow of the battle. If he had a better scanner, he would have been able to get close secretly and let his million sector lord bug army destroy the main enemy ship, killing that automaton warrior! Luo Feng would have earned a lot from it, and it would have been in a relaxed manner.
"Scanner!"
"Scanner." Luo Feng reflected on the importance of a good scanner. This battle had forced him to the edge simply because of that one fact.
...
The Golden horned beast glanced backwards slightly, it had an instinct that the automaton warrior was still following him.
"He probably hasn’t given up."
"He’s most probably following me at a distance. Seems right, he lost so much, especially the important piece of his god country device, how could he just let me go? He’s definitely following me and thinking of a way to get it back."
"What do I do?"
Luo Feng pondered, hating the fact that he didn’t have a better scanner.
"Do I just let him follow me?"
"He obviously has quite some background. He’ll definitely find a way to get the broken ship back, if I keep letting him follow, it’s like having a ticking time bomb next to me. Even though I would not have cared that much initially…I have to spend some money." Luo Feng made the decision.
******
His guess was right.
Three hundred million km away, a ship was following.
Within the control room, Ci Wei Ka sat in his chair, and his expression was ashen. Looking at the silver beast on his screen, he gritted his teeth. "Silver wing emperor, I cannot miss a single one of my nine ships. I need all nine to use the Nine absolute god country. You think you can get away with it? You must be dreaming!"
"I initially didn’t want to spend a huge amount to kill you."
"Killing an emperor costs too much. However, you took away a ship from the nine pyramids my master had built. you are forcing me." Ci Wei Ka’s eyes were filled with madness.
"Die."
"Just wait for your death."
He had sent a thread of his consciousness into the virtual universe, this was the virtual world the automaton race had set up in the outer region wars.
...
Virtual world.
Di…di…di…
He stood before the screen. After awhile, a silhouette appeared. This was a 2m tall and 1m wide fat life form. Although it was covered in scales, however countless scales on its body had eyes on them.
A blur of eyes, it was terrifying.
On its head it had a huge gold eye, the formless powerful energy emanated from the screen.
If Luo Feng saw him, he would have been able to tell instantly that this was a powerful race of the universe. The 1,000 eye race, they were extremely few in numbers but were extremely powerful. They were considered one of the more powerful races in the universe, however their warriors…have to join one of the four camps to gain the right to enter the outer region wars.
Battle was the best way to train a warrior.
A true warrior wouldn’t be afraid of battle, constantly giving himself pressure to get stronger.
"Momobu!" Ci Wei Ka was very respectful.
"Ah, my dear Ci Wei Ka." The 1,000 eye race smiled. The blur of eyes on its body seemed friendly, but it was disgusting. "You should know that I’m currently on Star tower. it’s an extremely dangerous place, hence I cannot be distracted. Still, you’ve chosen to contact me despite this…speak, what’s the matter?"
"It’s like this."
Ci Wei Ka swiftly explained, slightly altering some details, but the core matter was still the same. "What I want to do…is to kill the silver wing emperor and take back my weapon."
"Ah? Silver wing emperor of the human camp?" Momobu said curiously. "He actually took an important piece of your weapons. However Ci Wei Ka…that is still an emperor, you should know just how tough it is to kill an emperor, we may heavily injure him, but to kill…"
"I’ve planned it out already." Ci Wei Ka said, "This silver wing emperor’s defense is extremely powerful, and it’s extremely fast too. It’s attack however isn’t as terrifying as its defense! It’s obvious its comprehension level isn’t too high, and it relies on some treasures for defense!"
"And it’s battle techniques rely on close combat."
"Hence it’s soul side should be weaker. Momobu…you are an absolute warrior proficient in soul attacks. As long as you attack, we should have a 90% guarantee." Ci Wei Ka said.
The 1,000 eye warrior on the screen didn’t agree.
Ci Wei Ka said, "I won’t waste your time, you are afterall on Star tower now. I’m willing…to use three billion indigo gems to get you to help me, and when we kill the silver wing emperor, you will naturally get the contribution points. Also the items it leaves behind after, you will get a lot of it."
"Ah?" Momobu’s many eyes all over gleamed.
Three billion indigo gems…
That was generous enough.
It usually took emperor’s trillions of years to accumulate that much, one invitation with that amount, this was extremely rare.
"This Ci Wei Ka sure is wealthy, his master pampers him too much. Only at a pinnacle official level and his wealth is more than many emperors." Momobu couldn’t help but exclaim. Just like how Yan Zhu emperor was renowned for being Shi Huo knight’s only son, this Ci Wei Ka was the same within the Automaton race.
One had to know that the automatons were living AI’s, they didn’t have the idea of parent and child.
Hence, Ci Wei Ka was considered his master’s most important relative.
"I’m in star tower, how will I head over?" Momobu asked, "Using a ship? That would take half a year."
"No."
Ci Wei Ka shook his head. "Using a ship would take too long. Momobu, teleport via your god country, I will give you safe coordinates. Just come straight to Yan Ji main continent."
"God country teleportation, this will reveal my god country’s coordinates."
"With your ability Momobu, who will you fear on Yan Ji Main continent. What’s more, only I will know your god country’s coordinates, and as allies, I cannot betray you. Momobu, you’ll have extra time after completing the mission to change the coordinates of your god country." Ci Wei Ka spoke.
Momobu finally agreed. The rewards from this deal, if successful, was simply too eye catching.
...
After awhile.
Within Ci Wei Ka’s living quarters in the virtual world.
"Let me introduce you, this is from our automaton camp, Black Jade emperor from the Pang Wan race." Ci Wei Ka pointed beside him. It was a skinny short man with a silver mask, his hands were like a wild beast’s claws, almost like two blades. "Black jade emperor is a pinnacle emperor with teleportation."
"Black jade, this is Death Soul emperor from the 1,000 eye race. He’s extremely renowned within the seventh battlefield." Ci Wei Ka pointed at Momobu of the 1,000 eye race.
Black Jade emperor and Death soul emperor.
Both were pinnacle emperors. But in terms of reputation, Death soul was more renowned, mainly because there were many emperor undyings that fell before him.
"Death soul emperor." The short Black Jade looked at Momobu, "Aren’t you in Star tower?"
Momobu smiled, all his eyes looked friendly, "I’ll rush over."
