"self-detonate?"
Hearing the Demon race Immortal's words, Fortress and Lightning Flash both sneered.
"If you had the courage to self-detonate, you wouldn't be talking to us like this."
They had been fighting on the Extraterritorial Battlefield for over a thousand years, and it wasn't as if they hadn't forced foreign race Immortal to self-detonate. Moreover, those who truly intended to self-detonate would have done so already, not stood here making threats.
What's more, the Demon race Immortal's Divine Body hadn't yet fallen below 70%, far from reaching the minimum alert line for self-detonation.
"Damn it!" The Demon race Immortal, hearing Fortress and Lightning Flash's voice transmission, flew into a rage, "You actually look down on me so much, do you really think I wouldn't dare to self-detonate?!"
If forced to a dead end, the Demon race Immortal would, of course, self-detonate. But he hadn't yet reached that desperate point, and being fond of his life, he wouldn't easily choose the path of self-detonation, which would result in mutual destruction.
"Hmph!"
Fortress snorted coldly, gathering strong Earth Law fluctuations. He gripped his shining war hammer with both hands and slammed it fiercely towards the Demon race Immortal. The Universe space collapsed and shattered under this single blow!
Within the shattered Universe space, dark, hollow space interlayers appeared, with spatial fragments occasionally drifting through them.
While swinging his hammer, Fortress transmitted, "Keep the current attack frequency, don't push him too hard."
Lightning Flash replied, "Don't worry, I understand that."
The two of them had been controlling the rhythm of the battle, not even burning Immortal Divine Power, precisely because they feared truly forcing the Demon race to self-detonate.
Although Ender's Immortal Plant Life Cloud Vine was there to back them up, as long as their Divine Bodies weren't severely damaged by self-detonation, they could still play a significant role in subsequent battles. However, for a long time afterward, the team's combat would primarily revolve around Ender.
If Ender accumulated enough military merits to retire, they could at most rest for a period, wait for their Divine Bodies to recover, and then return to the Extraterritorial Battlefield. If absolutely necessary, they could also retire on the spot, as they had already accumulated enough military merits for retirement.
"Damn it! Damn it!!" The Demon race Immortal roared through voice transmission, "Luyi Ka, quickly burn Immortal Divine Power to repel that Human World Master! Otherwise, my Divine Body loss will soon reach 30%, and by then, my strength will be less than fifty percent."
After a World Master Level Breakthrough to become an Immortal, one transforms into a Divine Body life form, where energy and life imprints are fused. Losing Divine Power means losing life imprints, and the more life imprints lost, the greater the impact on one's strength.
Within 10% Divine Body loss, there's almost no impact on strength. Beyond 10%, strength will decrease with Divine Body loss.
When Divine Body loss reaches 30%, only fifty percent of strength remains.
With 50% Divine Body loss, only ten percent of strength remains.
At 70% Divine Body loss, strength is less than one percent.
At 90% Divine Body loss, one falls into a deep slumber, losing consciousness. During the long slumber, one might slowly recover, or might continuously lose strength until falling.
Therefore, Kuai Lunqi was very anxious. After his Divine Body loss exceeded 10%, his aura weakened, and his strength gradually declined. Now, his Divine Body loss was even approaching 30%!
"Wait… we're saved, we're saved." Luyi Ka was about to say something when he suddenly received a message, his voice transmission filled with joy, "Kuai Lunqi, hold on a little longer!"
"What?!" The Demon race Immortal Kuai Lunqi exclaimed in surprise, "What exactly are you talking about?!"
...
In the Endless Starry Void, a biological spaceship was rapidly traveling at sub-light speed.
All floating debris obstructing the spaceship was directly crashed through by the straight-flying vessel, with numerous planetary remnants being shattered into smaller fragments.
Inside the biological spaceship's main hall, there were six figures in total, five of whom were either prostrate or standing.
And in front of these five figures, a Puppet resembling a centipede, made of metal, was coiled up on a throne, its head looking at the five figures before it.
"Your Highness Losak, according to our flight speed, we will arrive at the target area in one minute." A metal snake-shaped Puppet spoke, its voice like metal impression, very harsh.
"Your Highness." A lizard-man, over four meters tall, whose body seemed to be cast from jade, said, "Why don't we enter the Dark Universe? That way, our travel speed would be much faster."
"The Dark Universe flight distance is 10.081 million times that of the Original Universe; if we're not careful, we might overshoot." Another metal centipede Puppet said, "Moreover, returning from the Original Universe requires slowing down to a standstill, which would undoubtedly waste our time."
"Exactly!" The metal centipede Puppet coiled on the throne said, "If it weren't for my true body flying being too ostentatious, I would have wanted to rush to the target location with my true body."
"You still know about being ostentatious…" The lizard-man secretly thought, "Who was it before that flew through the Universe with a true body nearly a hundred kilometers long, causing too much commotion and being attacked by elite teams from other factions?"
As the lizard-man spoke, his heart was filled with envy, "The Demon race's bloodline talent is truly outstanding. There are many Demon race members with enormous physiques, no wonder the quality of World Master and Immortal can suppress humans."
The Demon race's communication System was weak, but their own strength was very strong.
In terms of numbers, they were no weaker than humans.
In terms of wisdom, the weakest Demon race could rival human wisdom.
Moreover, the Demon race's talent was stronger than human talent, so in terms of World Master, Immortal, and so on, the Demon race completely suppressed humans.
However, human high-end experts were very strong, coupled with the powerful assistance of the Virtual Universe, in true Universe contention, they had never been suppressed by the Demon race. The war between the two Pinnacle Race groups had lasted for an unknown number of years.
The Demon race is different from humans; they value bloodline, just as the bloodline of Space Beast determines their hierarchy.
The Demon race has an extremely strong concept of bloodline, which led to a large number of high-ranking Royal Clans, as well as some legendary Imperial Clans. Among the countless races within the Demon race, being listed as an Imperial Clan or Royal Clan signifies the nobility of their bloodline.
Any member of a Royal Clan or Imperial Clan is respectfully addressed as Your Highness.
Subordinate Race groups, like the one the lizard-man belonged to, showed great respect to the Demon race, especially to the noble-blooded Royal Clans and Imperial Clans.
This is similar to how the Gold Horn Race and many other subordinate Race groups respect humans and place greater importance on the Your Highnesses of the five major human forces.
The metal centipede Puppet coiled on the throne said, "This time, this Your Highness is going to kill that Human World Master Genius."
"Ever since our Demon race's great existence issued the command to increase the reward for killing Human World Master Genius, I haven't encountered a Human World Master Genius capable of rivaling an Military Lord-level Immortal for a long time."
"This time, it's a rare encounter with a Human World Master Genius, and one who can rival a High-Rank Military Lord-level Immortal." The metal centipede Puppet's voice was joyful, yet very cold, "I must kill him and take his body back to claim the reward!"
The Demon race does not have Virtual Universe synchronized transmission. Although they can use recordings as proof, they still need to bring back the body of the foreign race Immortal or evidence of their identity to prove that they killed the enemy.
"With Your Highness, a Pinnacle Military Lord-level Immortal, personally taking action, killing that Human World Master Genius will be a piece of cake."
"Yes! With Your Highness's strength, killing that Human World Master Genius is effortless." All the Demon race faction members transmitted praises, but the biological spaceship had only been traveling for just over ten seconds, with still a minute's journey to the target location.
...
At coordinates 33132 · 64131.
"It's Your Highness Losak of your Demon race Royal Clan, the Thousand-Legged Tick Centipede Clan. His subordinates, the Immortal, transmitted through the faction communication that they are on their way."
Luyi Ka's voice transmission was filled with joy, and he kept painting a grand picture for Kuai Lunqi, "As long as we hold on for a while longer, we will be able to turn the tide!"
"Your Highness Losak?!" Kuai Lunqi exclaimed, "Is he near us?"
"Of course! Otherwise, why would Your Highness Losak tell us to hold on!" Luyi Ka answered joyfully.
"When can Your Highness Losak arrive?" Kuai Lunqi quickly asked via voice transmission.
"One minute…" Luyi Ka's voice gradually faded to silence.
"One minute? Are you serious?" Kuai Lunqi, whose hope had just risen, instantly burst into rage, "You'll arrive in one minute to collect my corpse!"
Even for a World Master Level expert, there are dozens of exchanges in a second, let alone the faster Immortal.
Dozens of exchanges per second is the norm for Immortal in combat. For stronger Universe Venerable and Universe Master, it's thousands or tens of thousands of exchanges per second.
Moreover, while Immortal might communicate via voice transmission during battle, the actual time for such communication is very short. Because their thought speed exceeds that of ordinary optical computers, they can exchange dozens or even hundreds of sentences in a single second.
"Luyi Ka, burn Immortal Divine Power and come take my place in battle. Your Divine Body is intact and can last much longer." Kuai Lunqi transmitted.
"Your Divine Body is larger than mine." Hearing this, Luyi Ka thought of Your Highness Losak, who would arrive in a minute, and gritted his teeth, "Hold on for another fifteen seconds, I'll come relieve you immediately."
Kuai Lunqi quickly agreed upon hearing this, "Okay!"
With Luyi Ka's promise, he focused more on defense in the subsequent battle, intending to minimize Divine Body loss within fifteen seconds.
"Hmm?"
Fortress found Luyi Ka's gradually changing combat style very strange.
Normally, an Immortal whose Divine Body was continuously losing and about to fall below 70% should be somewhat frenzied at this time, constantly attacking and exchanging Divine Body damage with the enemy.
Especially this Demon race Immortal, over twenty meters long, whose Divine Body was far larger than theirs. He should have relied on his massive Divine Body to fight them head-on, instead of playing this active defensive delaying tactic.
Lightning Flash also noticed the problem and transmitted, "Something's fishy. That Demon race Immortal is planning something; he's preserving his Divine Body."
"I noticed it too." Fortress replied, "He seems to be stalling for time. Could there be a Demon race team coming to support?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it's likely a Demon race team is coming for support." Having fought on the Extraterritorial Battlefield for many years, Lightning Flash had rich combat experience and also guessed this was the most likely possibility.
"Notify Atlas, see what he thinks." Fortress transmitted, "Atlas has an Immortal Cloud Vine comparable to a Pinnacle Military Lord-level Immortal, and his own strength can also rival a High-Rank Military Lord-level Immortal. If he wants to wait for the Demon race support team to arrive and wipe them all out, what should we do?"
"Of course, we should agree!" Lightning Flash's voice was filled with Battle Intent, "We can split one person to fight, and the Immortal Cloud Vine is equivalent to a Pinnacle Military Lord-level Immortal, capable of easily killing ordinary Immortal. If a team of two Immortal comes, we can certainly take them on."
Hearing this, Fortress's eyes revealed a hint of Battle Intent, and he transmitted with firm words, "Good! If Atlas wants to annihilate the Demon race support team, we'll fully support him!"
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
The over forty-meter-tall Ender wielded his long spear 'Void Spear', precisely striking the foreign race Immortal Luyi Ka again and again. Each attack caused the Universe space to collapse and shatter, with torn and healing spatial cracks appearing alternately.
Luyi Ka was like a sandbag, constantly being tormented by Ender. Although each attack caused negligible damage to his Divine Body, the prolonged battle meant his Divine Body loss approached 2%.
"Damn Human World Master! Relying on his strength comparable to a High-Rank Military Lord-level Immortal, and his enormous body and weapon, he continuously suppresses me."
Luyi Ka was furious yet calm. If he hadn't received the news that Highness Losak was about to arrive, he would have exploded in rage by now.
With a Divine Body height of just over two meters, he found it difficult to get close to Ender due to Ender's impenetrable defense, which left him only able to passively attack and parry.
His weapon was too small, and his power and strength couldn't match Ender's. Even parrying couldn't truly block the attacks, which led to him being reduced to a sandbag constantly being bombarded.
Still, it was fortunate that Ender was not an Immortal and did not possess Immortal Divine Power, preventing him from efficiently annihilating his Divine Body. Otherwise, he would have fallen long ago.
"This Human World Master is not only strong, but his protective treasure also seems extraordinary. Even if my attacks are reduced by ninety percent in power after passing through his weapon, they should still injure him, but his aura hasn't weakened at all."
Luyi Ka was inwardly surprised. Ender's body's defensive capabilities also somewhat exceeded his expectations; his aura hadn't changed at all after fighting him for so long.
"Oh… so that's it. Then let's just wipe them all out!"
Ender was suppressing and tormenting Luyi Ka, and upon receiving Fortress's voice transmission, joy welled up in his heart. "Haha, I didn't expect such a buy-one-get-one-free deal. I hope the foreign race team coming to support is strong enough, so I can get 100 million military merits in one go!"
On the other side.
Fortress, who was still depleting the Demon race Immortal Kuai Lunqi, transmitted, "Atlas replied, he wants to wipe them all out."
"Haha, that's right!" Lightning Flash transmitted with a laugh, "I just knew a Genius like Atlas wouldn't be scared off by a Demon race support team that hasn't even arrived yet."
Fortress transmitted, "We'll keep the consumption tactic unchanged; we can't let the Demon race detect anything unusual."
"Not enough!" Lightning Flash transmitted, "We should increase the consumption to give that Demon race Immortal the illusion that we are very anxious."
"Hmm…" Fortress agreed upon hearing this, "You're right, let's do that."
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, Fortress and Lightning Flash increased their attack frequency. As their figures constantly shifted, the six-tier Force Weapons in their hands shone with light, and strong Origin Law fluctuations gathered, continuously striking the twenty-meter-tall Demon race Immortal Kuai Lunqi.
"Luyi Ka!"
Caught off guard by the suddenly increased attack frequency, Kuai Lunqi quickly transmitted, "Fifteen seconds are almost up, hurry and prepare to come help me! My Divine Body has already lost over 30%, and my strength is less than fifty percent!"
