Elder Long was also in a secret base in Jiangcheng. He was seriously injured, and it compromised his cultivation level. He met Xiao Luo at the secret base at top of the mountain. A chilly breeze blew as it was early winter, and it was frigid.

  “Ah-choo!”

  The Elder Long sneezed, then shook his head and smiled wryly. “I never expected that I would be so weak That I could not even withstand a cold.”

  “Senior, is the alien race that powerful?”

  Xiao Luo could not believe that the alien race that invaded Earth could seriously injure Elder Long, and he even had the help of his Grand Preceptor, Xiao Quanren, and Tianshan Elder.

  Elder Long nodded slowly and replied, “Our powers are not of the same system as his. He claimed he was the representative of The Ultimate Tech, Prince Saiki, who came from the M81 star system. He is clad in golden armor that is merged with his body. Even if we smash him to pieces, he can come together again and be resurrected. He is immortal.”

  Even if we blast his body to pieces, he can be rejoined and resurrected?

  Immortal?

  Xiao Luo was absolutely shocked. Have human beings become so powerful that they could even prevent death? Can they also now overcome the limitations of their bodies and reach the realm of immortality through the development of extreme forms of technology?

  “Where is he now?” asked Xiao Luo.

  “He should be somewhere on Earth. There’s no aura coming from him, so I can’t pinpoint his exact location,” Elder Long replied.

  Xiao Luo nodded stiffly. A representative of The Ultimate Tech relied purely on the power of technological advancements, but he was still an ordinary person, so he would not have any True Inner Force. It was indeed tough to detect his location.

  BOOM!

  Suddenly, a mighty presence of energy radiated from the north.

  Ordinary people could not easily detect this force, but Xiao Luo and the Elder Long could feel it clearly, and it felt like a ripple spreading across the horizon.

  \r \r \r

  “It seems to be the aura of the master of the Arcana Land,” Elder Long exclaimed, looking rather surprised.

  Xiao Luo knitted his brows. He certainly knew that it was Su Li’s aura—it was something he would never forget.

  “Go ahead. It would help if your help was needed there. You don’t have to worry about the Xiao clan. With the presence of your Grand Preceptor, your Tai Shi Gong guarding us, you need not worry about that girl, Gu Qianxue, either. She’s at the peak of Mount Tianshan. My Junior Sister will risk her life to protect her. What you have to do now is to focus on the battle,” Elder Long said.

  “I got you.”

  Xiao Luo replied solemnly and instructed the Duck Emperor to stay with Elder Long. Then, he turned into a streak of light and flew rapidly toward Xiahai.

  Elder Long looked up at the sky with his eyes filled with anguish. “If we win, this crisis will be resolved. If we lose, the entire human race will be annihilated. Xiao Luo, can you… protect Earth?”

  It was ironic that he, a guardian of the world, actually could not take part in the battle and could only hide in a small corner of Jiangcheng.

  “He can. You have to trust his ability,” Duck Emperor said.

  …

  …

  Xiao Luo flew at full speed, and the mountains and rivers of Hua Nation rapidly past his sight. Su Li’s aura was so powerful that, even in Jiangcheng, he could sense her presence. It only meant that the alien race had appeared, and a great battle was now taking place between the two sides. It was most likely that the aliens were preparing to invade the secret realm and were being intercepted by Su Li and the four kings at the entrance.

  Wait for me. I’m coming!

  Xiao Luo roared inwardly and increased his speed. The landscape was a mere blur as he streaked across the sky.

  Ten minutes later, he reached Xiahai City.

  As soon as he arrived, he saw a figure clad in golden armor standing in the air with his red cloak fluttering in the wind. He looked exactly like a human. He had golden hair and even his eyes were golden. His slender phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, giving off an air of supreme confidence; as if he did not care about anything.

  Su Li, the King of Swords, the King of War, the King of Thunder, and the King of Blades had spread out in a wide front and were glaring at him with hostility.

  “Yo! My beacon, you’ve appeared too.”

  He cast his gaze on Xiao Luo in a lofty and relaxed manner.

  Beacon?

  Xiao Luo frowned and said, “What do you mean?”

  “What do I mean? Did you think the system was a gift for you?” A sinister smile appeared on the corners of Saiki’s lips.

  When hearing this, Xiao Luo’s body trembled, and his eyes widened. “Did you create the system?”

  “Of course. Other than our people from The Ultimate Tech, no one else in the universe could invent such advanced systems to adapt to various civilizations.”

  Saiki added, “Every system we despatched is designed to seek planets where civilizations exist. Then, they will learn and copy all the knowledge and skills from that civilization. As long as you have enough points, you can exchange them for any skills from that civilization world.”

  Xiao Luo clenched his fists. He now knew he had always been under the control of The Ultimate Tech.

  “The system is a locator. When it fuses with you, it serves as a beacon. Every time you used it, a location message is transmitted to our M81 galaxy. Although some data will inevitably be lost during transmission across our vast universe, the number of times you had used it was enough for us to locate your civilization with pinpoint accuracy. That was how I got here.

  “It is never easy locating one’s position in the universe, but we found a way. We call it the Dark Forest Laws,” Saiki said further.

  “F*cking as*hole!”

  Xiao Luo was already gnashing his teeth in anger. There was no free lunch in the world. After fusing with the genius system, he always had a sense of doubt and tried to avoid using it. In the end, he even chose not to use it whenever possible. So there was a mastermind behind this after all.

  “Are you angry?”

  Saiki raised his brows and said, “I suppose you are angry, but it isn’t a big deal. You’ve already completed your mission, and…” Then he looked up at the mirage-like Arcana Land in the sky, and added, ” It’s all thanks to your use of the system repeatedly, or I would never have located this hidden blue planet. It is vast and there should be thousands of creatures living here, right? Very good, I shall destroy them all at once. Destroying a civilization and building a new technological land is my princely mission. ”

  “This place is a very suitable domain for me. After I, Prince Saiki, occupy this planet, I will expand my dominions across the universe for 100,000 light-years with this planet as the center.”

  He turned his gaze towards Su Li and showed a lecherous smile. “Well, excellent. To think that such a peerless beauty can be born on this planet. She can just stay by my side as a maid to serve my every need. When I have the mood, I can also enjoy the night with her. Perfect, truly perfect, haha, haha…”

  Xiao Luo was already fuming out of control. When he heard this, he blew his top.

  “F*ck you!!”

  A bloodthirsty roar escaped his throat, and his eyes turned scarlet. He drew his dragon saber and flew high into the sky, slashing down at the head of Prince Saiki.
