Chapter 273: SENIOR QUASI-WARLORD

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

9527 curiously followed Han into the practice room; there was a complicated machine in the corner, which was used to assess source energy index of espers, commonly known as the bull's-eye machine.

Hu~

Han took a deep breath, and then he gave a fist with all his strength towards the bull's eye of the machine.

There was a huge noise upon contact; the machine then started to wobble quickly and fiercely.

Han's source energy was indeed not pure at all; it had a great deal of dark power mixed in. But all in all, that bull's-eye machine was an advanced product of the All Gods Corporation. Even though it wobbled fiercely, it withstood the shock and did not collapse.

The machine started to calculate Han's source energy index with some extremely complicated algorithm. 9527 slightly frowned before asking, "What's that thing over your hand?"

Han took off his boxing gloves, threw them to 9527, and then said, "Some kind of boxing gloves. This thing is really helpful; once I put this thing on, the dark power resides all over my body becomes concentrated on my fist, without weaking my eye of darkness.

9527 was shocked. He held Han's dark boxing gloves and took a closer look; he then said in his deep voice, "The quality is quite good. It used soft dark gold as a medium. where did you get this thing from?"

So Han told 9527 the whole story about the dark boxing gloves as well as the Dark King who swept out the whole milky way. 9527 constantly nodded while carefully listening.

"So there was this guy from your little milky way galaxy? He swept out the whole galaxy with dark power? And according to you, this guy named Dark King was at last not killed by any human in the milky way galaxy, but rather he died because he ran into a dark hole himself?" 9527 asked.

"That's what other people says. I didn't go into details, because I wasn't even born at that time," Han said as he shrugged his shoulders.

At this time, the bull's-eye machine has given a final result.

Seven million two hundred and thirty thousand!

"Great!" Han fiercely waved his fist and loudly said, "No wonder I feel like I'm stronger than before, my source energy index went up so much!"

9527 was shocked at first, and then he nodded and said, "Looks like your body is well-suited for this kind of dark power. Once you have accumulated enough quantity of dark power, a further increase in quantity leads to an increase in overall quality. You're now one step closer to a warlord."

"The last time you took this test, you were only a junior level quasi-warlord, and now you have entered into the senior-level. It will be desirable if you could get a few more dark crystals like this. Ising the power they provide you with, you can make a breakthrough to the warlord level. After all, it should be harder for you to get a promotion from now on than before. Without any external aid, I am afraid that you might not be able to make rapid progress like you used to."

Han was puzzled. "What do you mean by harder than before?"

9527 replied, "There are two reasons. First, your mixed source energy, don't say that your source energy index just went higher than seven million. In fact, I'm afraid that your real source energy is at most half of that number, and the rest were all contributed by the dark power. Among all espers, having mixed source energy will increase the level of difficulty of making improvements, that's something that has been concluded long ago."

"Second, it's about level. The stronger the type of an esper, the harder it will be for him to get promotions. I made some research while you were not around, and I found that no Void End Esper has ever broken through the seven-star level in the history. Thus, it can be seen that your esper ability was among the strongest ones of all esper abilities, and of course, also amongst the ones that are hardest to promote."

Han thought for a minute and then he asked, "Is it really that important to become a seven star warlord?"

9527 shot a glance at Han and then said in a high voice, "What do you mean? It's far more than being just important! Have you ever heard that a warlord never dies?"

Han nodded. "I've heard of it"

9527 then said, "That's because once you made the breakthrough to a Seven Star Level, your body will undergo a fierce sublimation, something that can be compared to the nirvana of a phoenix. Let me make a simpler metaphor. To build a house, you will first need a foundation. A process in which all of the cells in your body will rapidly split, and you will basically have a brand new body. You can only make any further progress with this new body as the foundation, and this foundation must be the one to lead you to the way to gods."

"This nirvana will not happen without a hitch. it will need the Seven-star Level source energy to activate. You will not be able to initiate this glamorous split without hitting a source energy of ten million level, and if you cannot get it initiated, everything higher and stronger will have nothing to do with you."

"In fact, you've already had a cell split or body modification when you reached four-star level, but back then, you were of low level, and the modification was not obvious either. As such, you just might not have any feeling about it."

"However the nirvana that happens after entering into the warlord level is completely different. With a modified body, you can basically become an immortal; you can even live without oxygen, and your body will be extremely powerful—at least a hundred times stronger then before.

Hu~

Han took a deep breath. He never knew that it was so important to reach seven-star level. Once the source energy reached the ten million level, the body would automatically adjust in order to adapt to future challenges.

Han said, "There are seven dark crystals like this in total, in which I have already absorbed three of them. Moreover, I also know the possible location of another one of them. If everything goes well, it should be in Deliface, a remote galaxy in the milky way.

9527 then seriously said, "Then you should consider finding this crystal in all possible means. All in all, there shouldn't be many things that could support your substantial growth; every one of them is very precious."

9527's tone suddenly changed; he then said, "But there is another thing you need to be aware of. That is, if you are to absorb one more dark crystal, then the dark power in your zero-degree brain field will overwhelm the source energy which espers are used to use."

"More dark power than source energy, will this lead to any chain reaction? This is something you need to pay attention to."

Han thought for a moment and then said, "All in all, no matter whether it's dark power or source energy, isn't the combined energy index increased for sure? There should not be much to worry about."

"Maybe." 9527 shook his head and said, "I don't know for sure. After all, I myself is not a member of the dark energy users."

Han had a few more words with 9527, and then he went back to the Star Lord City.

Thanked to either Yuanyuan or Silver Fox, Han felt like his relationship with 9527 was getting better and better; they started to talk a lot about themselves, and 9527 even started to put himself in Han's shoes and solve puzzles for him.

When Han arrived at the apartment he rented at the Star Lord City, he was already exhausted. Surprisingly, he found that there was someone standing in front of his door, and it was a girl.

"Ye Weiwei!" Han recognized the girl's face; he was a little bit surprised, and he then shouted her name out loud.

"What brings you here? Last time I saw you, you were still with your Ancient Maple Leaf Family exploring and migrating around," Han said with a pleasantly surprised face. He opened up the door and invited Ye Weiwei into his room.

Ye Weiwei was still wearing a tailor-made black jumpsuit, and her perfect figure was clearly sketched out by the suit. One year has passed since the last time they met, and Han felt that she has changed a bit. Like we all say, a girl could really change a lot during her growth; Ye Weiwei seemed to be much more feminine than ever before.

"The plan wasn't going so smooth. The main fleet of my family has begun to retreat to the Milky Way Galaxy. On their way, they met the prophet Qiu De; he told us something about the deep dark net and the path of all gods, so I came by to take a shot," Ye Weiwei said while taking over the cup Han handed over.

"Your family encountered the Family of Gods, right?" Han whispered. As a bachelor, his home was pretty messy, so he hurriedly picked up the clothes thrown on the sofa.

"You're right. The Gods' Fleets are everywhere; they have completely blocked the path connecting Milky Way Galaxy and the outside world; we're no match against them," Ye Weiwei nodded and said.

Han sighed and then said, "Seems like those bastards really wish for every single humans in Milky Way to die, but don't be desperate, like I've told you before, the protector Chuli, he has an ultra-long-range immigration plan."

Ye Weiwei said, "Right, back then we were too stubborn, we always thought we were a family with the spirit of exploration, so we had the most complete star chart in the Milky Way. However, facing powerful enemies like the gods, we're still far from enough."

"Maybe you're right. First, we should immigrate our civilians to the Twin Horse Galaxy, and in the meanwhile, we should try to explore the ways to restrain the gods in the deep dark net; that's the only way to make our family survive."

Han gave a gentle smile, "Don't give yourself too much pressure. You have to believe that there's got to be a way."

Han actually had another question he wanted to know, but when he was just going to ask, he held it back.

Ye Gucheng once said, the reason that the Ancient Maple Leaf Family wanted to migrate was not only because they were worried about the safety of their family, but more importantly, they wanted to find Ye Weiwei's true parents. As for the result, who knows?

But that was Ye Weiwei's personal business, and Han felt that he should better not ask it. The result did not seem to be very optimistic simply from Ye Weiwei's face.

"You can put on your dress here," Han said to Ye Weiwei with a smile on his face.

Ye Weiwei's face went red; she pointed at her Dimension Ring and said, "Sure, I've got my dress with me."

"Go change your suit; it must be quite uncomfortable wearing a tight leather jumpsuit all day," Han said at his leisure.

Ye Weiwei nodded and then carefully went into Han's bedroom. Suddenly, there was another guy knocking on the door. Han opened up the door and saw Jian Jia.

Chapter 274: Destination – Delifesi

Han opened the door and saw it was just Jian Jia. This guy slipped right into Han's room like a mouse, and after sniffing a bit, he said, "Han, you had a woman in your room?"

Han nodded openly, "That's right, one of my friends came."

"Where is she?"

"She's changing clothes in the room."

Right after his voice faded, Ye Weiwei walked out from Han's bedroom barefoot in a white skirt.

Due to Ye Weiwei's special ability, she had to wear a special tight leather cloth at all time, so her skin almost never came into contact with the sun. It was tender, delicate, white, like a newborn baby's skin, and it made people very tempted to touch it.

At this moment Ye Weiwei was already at the age of a grown girl. In a short dress that was a little revealing, without shoes, snow white skin, she really caught Han's eyes for a moment.

Humph~

However, Jian Jia just grunted and said, "Your friend did a really good job taking care of herself."

"Yep, she is pretty beautiful." Han said casually.

Hearing Han complimenting her, Ye Weiwei blushed a little.

Han introduced Ye Weiwei to Jian Jia, but Jian Jia seemed to not like Ye Weiwei a lot. He was still well-mannered, although their interaction was a little cold, but he was still polite.

"I heard that you were eliminated from the Wind Forest Volcano mission, so I came to comfort you. Go, let's grab a big meal, it's on me, let's go to the best restaurant." Jian Jia said very generously.

Han frowned a little, Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "I think let's just eat at home, Han doesn't really like outside food."

Han smiled and said, "You know me pretty well. To be honest, I'm not very interested in the food from outside. Today just let me use my hometown food to play host. Give me a second, it will be ready soon."

Jian Jia was a little dissatisfied, "Don't tell me you are going to eat those vacuum packaging foods again."

Han smiled, "Then you want to cook anything fresh for me?"

Then, Jian Jia was silent. In fact, both she and Ye Weiwei didn't know how to cook at all.

Just thinking about the delicious meat buns got Han's appetite going. He had a pretty "bad" habit, and it's that he didn't like to change flavours. During training, he could repeatedly practice the same moves over thousands of times, and during meal time, Han could eat meat buns and drink hot chocolate for years without changing anything up.

There were guests today after all, Han was still nice enough to take out four dishes out of his dimension ring. Spicy chicken, mushroom beef, rice sauce pork and salted white shrimp. These were all carefully prepared by the aunty from the Earth Base's kitchen.

Then, Han also took out two eggs and made a sweet egg flower corn soup, accompanied with the meat buns as the main course.

Although the dishes are simple and the majority are vacuum packaged, the taste was still pretty nice and really fit Ye Weiwei and Jian Jia's appetite.

Jian Jia took out a bottle of wine that was said to be the top tier. Even the cup for drinking was specially designed. After the wine gets poured in, it would be maintained at the best drinking temperature to ensure the wine's taste to the maximum extent.

Han didn't drink, but Ye Weiwei drank a cup.

"This wine is indeed nice. There's the dryness of autumn and the fragrance of the moist red land. Also, a little bit of pine nuts taste, and an aftertaste similar to butterfly orchid, but not really, I can't guess it." Ye Weiwei closed her eyes and enjoyed.

"That's the after taste of red gladiolus!" Jian Jia said in surprise, "Haha, looks like you are an expert in wine drinking!"

Ye Weiwei was a little shy, "When I'm by myself, I would often drink a little."

Jian Jia replied, "That's good enough, look at Han, he actually doesn't drink at all, as if I poisoned the alcohol or something."

Han lightly said, "I tested drinking distilled wine with about 45 percent alcohol content. For everyone hundred millilitres I drink, it will reduce my nerve reaction rate by one hundred thousandth of a millisecond, so although espers have high tolerance for alcohol, but there's still some side effects."

Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei both looked at Han very oddly, and Jian Jia said, "One hundred thousandth of a millisecond? What is such accurate calculation for?"

Han just shrugged his shoulder, "Anyways, I just won't touch anything that will decrease my nerve reaction rate. You guys can drink as much as you want, amongst the three of us at least I will be conscious."

Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei actually started enjoying each others company and drank up. They both knew good wine, and from their love of red wine they also discovered a lot of other common grounds.

"Then it's settled! After a few days you guys come to my house, and I will let you drink the most precious wine in my dad's collection!" Jian Jia said a little drunk.

"Sounds nice." Ye Weiwei nodded and agreed.

"No time." Han thought for a second and said, "I have to go on a trip these few days."

"Where?"

"When?" Ye Weiwei and Jian Jia asked one after another.

"Going to a place I should go, and as for the date of return, it might be soon and it might be far from now." Han said very seriously.

"Then you basically didn't say anything." Jian Jia waved his hand and said in dissatisfaction.

Soon it was deep into the night. Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei got up and said good bye, and Han also didn't invite them to stay overnight.

This attitude made both Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei feel a bit strange at heart, because it seems like Han doesn't care about them at all and intended to maintain a sense of distance.

Ye Weiwei and Jian Jia left. Han normally doesn't smoke but he still lit one today on the balcony.

Yuan Yuan came out to clean up, and said to Han, "Master, my scanner shows that Jian Jia is actually a girl."

"I know."

"Both Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei are very pretty, and their abilities are both very powerful. Speaking from the genetic point of view, both of them are suitable mates for master." Yuan Yuan said in a serious manner.

Han slightly smiled, "You little fool, actually considering matching from the genetics point of view."

"Then what perspective should I consider? Isn't human's marriage system's intention to reproduce descendants?"

Han pinched off the cigarette butt and said, "We will consider these things later on. 9527 is right, there is indeed a need to visit Deliface once. Seeing Jian Jia today reminded me of Zhu Yanan. Since that annoying guy already has the intention to kill me, he won't easily give up."

"And seeing Ye Weiwei also reminded me of my worries for the future of Earth and Milky Way. Either way, the situation doesn't look too good for me, I have to improve myself as fast as possible, so I decided to immediately go to Deliface."

That night, Han already set sail. Since he wasn't an official member of the All Gods Corporation, he still couldn't use the particle module, so he could only rely on the most primitive method, starship.

But since Ye Weiwei and Jian Jia got along pretty well last night, and Jian Jia doesn't have any friends at the Star Lord City and Ye Weiwei just got here, those two went shopping together. When it got to night time, the two decided to come find Han.

It's just that this time, Han already left.

Shua~

The long-awaited space travel, Moonlight Goddess-level heavy-duty assault ship carried Han and stepped foot on the journey to find the next dark crystal.

Chapter 275: The Apostles were Getting Ready

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

The particle module made Han's space trip less boring because even when the star ship was traveling forward, the particle module was still available for use. Due to the fact that Han's private star ship was equipped with too many practical parts, there was nearly no spare space left. Since then, Han could practice in the transfer station during a trip.

The new 'leaping' technology enabled Han's 'Space Goddess' to travel way faster than other ordinary star ships. Merely five days later, he had arrived at the fringe of the milky way; the outer side of the Deliface galaxy.

Deliface galaxy was the headquarter of the witch clan, and the relationship between Han and the witch clan could be said to be 'extremely bad'. Of the three kings of the witch clan, two of them, King Mandela and Sha Emperor died to the hand of Han. Only the last one was left, King Fantasy Neptune. Han had never seen him before.

In the domain of the Deliface galaxy, the witch clan was the primary dominating force. There were also other alien tribes that settled down in that place, but for any alien species who wished to settle in Deliface, the preceding rule was that they had to obey the three kings of the witch clan.

As for humans from the milky way, Deliface also welcomed them, because when the witch clan warriors grew up, a huge portion of them would be hired by humans, engaging in some secret affairs. On the other hand, some businessmen also came to Deliface for trading purposes.

After a simple response, the navigation system then led Han's 'Moonlight Goddess' to land on Deliface's planet #2.

At the registration portal, Han was interrogated and examined by the witch clan border warriors.

"I came to look for mercenaries in secret on behalf of the family." Han replied simply. In the meantime, he stuffed a 10000 star bill in the hand of the witch clan warrior in charge of the registration and examination.

Rumors said that the witch clan had an itching palm, which seemed to be true. The warrior's face suddenly lit up with pleasure after he received the money. He asked with smile on his face, "May I ask which boss do you represent?"

Han looked at him and then said in a low voice, "If I tell you about that, then how would it be called in secret?"

The witch clan warrior nodded, "I understand, let me fill out the registration card for you. You can go anywhere you wish on the #2 Fantasy Neptune star with this card, hire whichever warriors you would like to hire, and you can also engage in trading, we witch clan are in need of more human friends."

"Isn't it money you really want as friend?" Han whispered to himself quietly. He then asked curiously, "I thought this planet was called Sha Planet. Since when has the name changed?"

The warrior then replied, "There's something you don't know. As for now, all the three planets of the Deliface galaxy have been taken over by King Fantasy Neptune. Now they are called #1, #2, and #3 Fantasy Neptune Stars.

Han then said, "Where did Sha Emperor go? I was thinking of buying some puppets from him."

The witch clan warrior shook his head and said secretly, "How could we know so much about the king. It was said that Sha Emperor and King Mandela both had important missions and went far away, while King Fantasy Neptune was in charge of staying and taking care of things here."

Han nodded. Both Sha Emperor and King Mandela died from his own hand, so what the witch clan warrior said was completely a lie told by King Fantasy Neptune. Maybe King Fantasy Neptune also knew that both of the other two kings died, but he was worried that they lost two kings at the same time, and that will possibly lead to some unnecessary civil strife, so he just kept it as secret.

That was none of Han's business. Han went to the city right after he got the entry card and settled down in a secluded hotel. Like any other human visitors, Han also hired a witch clan guide.

When an outsider arrived at Deliface, they had to hire a local guide, that was the rule. Except for showing the way around, the guides were also in charge of monitoring outsiders. The witch clan put great effort in the safety of their territory which was not obtained easily, they did not want any outsiders to mess around.

As the only alien race in the milky way galaxy who had an official territory, the witch clan has been living under the influence of a human union. It was necessary for them to be careful.

Han's guide, who was named Mazuoji, was pretty young. He was Han's driver at the same time. Han hired him without any hesitation after he heard that it was Mazuoji's first time being a guide. Compared to those wily old birds who dealt with humans all the time, Han would prefer a young guide without much experience.

After he spent some time arranging his luggage in the hotel, Han went out of the hotel and sat in Mazuoji's old car with a white linen sunhat over his head. In order for Mazuoji to became a guide, his family not only paid his expensive tuition fee but they also bought him a car. Mazuoji liked that car, it was very clean.

"Where do we go Boss?" Mazuoji asked with excitement.

Han replied, "Let's go to the busiest area around here."

Mazuoji thought for a moment and then said, "The busiest area around here should be the slave market. We witch clan are still practicing slavery, you can hire mercenaries or slaves warriors as your wish. If a mercenary dies in the battle you will have to pay a large lump of money to his family, even though it might be kind of expensive buying a slave warrior, but you don't have to pay anyone after they die in a battle."

"On the other hand, the trade center is right next to the slave market. A lot of utilities for witchcraft that you might not have even seen before will be available for you to purchase there."

Han nodded, "If you say so, I should go have a look. Let's go."

Only around ten minutes after Han's landing on Deliface, a witch clan border prosecutor quietly left the control center. He hid in the washroom and opened his ultra-long-range anti-shielding communication device.

Nobody knew, that he was actually a dark apostle, because those god-created dark apostle could change their genes at their own will and disguise themselves into anyone they want. He sneaked into the witch clan's headquarter easily.

At the other side of the ultra-long-distance communication channel was a soldier with a bulging belly, in his general uniform.

Needless to say, he was also a dark apostle, he had another identity.

"Here I have a good news and a bad news."

"Uh-huh?"

"The good news is that the witch clan King Fantasy Neptune is finally getting on some action. He has invited a guest, and is planning to meet him in the near future. As for the identity of this guest, he is a forge master."

"A forge master? So that means our speculations are correct. The remains of the humanoid weapon are still in King Fantasy Neptune's hands. The reason he invited this forge master, was to find out whether the remains of humanoid weapon can be casted into a weapon?"

"Very likely, all in all King Fantasy Neptune lives in seclusion all year round, he seldom meets other people. This time he made huge effort inviting this well-known forge master over, he must have some ulterior secrets."

"That's valuable news, what is the bad news you just said?"

"Han is also here at Deliface."

"Han?"

"Right, the soldier from earth who possesses three pieces of the humanoid weapon remains. He killed quite a number of our men, and even the Sha Emperor and King Mandela were also killed by him."

"Han suddenly appeared in Deliface, could it be that he is also here for the humanoid weapon remains?"

"I'm not sure"

"Don't worry, we will not let him leave this place easily. This human is a huge threat for us, since we will have to deal with King Fantasy Neptune, let's also kill this kid altogether.

"Good, if so, I'll start working on it."

'What's your plan?"

"Very simple, during the period when King Fantasy Neptune will be meeting with the forge master, I'll release the information that it was Han who killed Sha Emperor and King Mandela. After that, King Fantasy Neptune must be busy dealing with Han, and when they are fighting with each other, I'll jump out and kill them both."

Good idea, convene all the apostles who currently have no mission and rush to Deliface as soon as possible, we must make a clean sweep this time!

"I get it, I will definitely not let Han escape this time."

Chapter 276: The Slaves

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

"If you want to get those precious raw materials, you must go to #13 constellation. The materials are hard to obtain." says the craftsman witch who sold masks at the market.

This was a plant type mask. It was made with a thin sheet of leaf. When it was put on a face, not only could allow flawless shape-shifting, it could transform the person's gender as well, transforming a male into a female was possible.

It's because Han wanted to know where these strange leaves were from, the craftsman witch started talking about the #13 constellation.

"Again it is the #13 constellation, what is that?" Han asked Mazuoji who was beside him after he used 40,000 star coins to buy this mask.

Mazuoji answered, "#13 constellation is the holy realm for us witches. This is where the witches are birthed, as well as the graveyard for famous witches in history."

"There are many extraordinary plants, animals, and minerals that are grown in the #13 constellation. It is the origin of magic and the most precious materials."

Han frowned, "Can I go to the #13 constellation?"

"Absolutely not." Mazuoji said in a definite and strong voice, "The #13 constellation belongs to Neptune. All the guards there are his family's soldiers. You, as a human, are not allowed to go into the holy land. Even for us witches, only those with the title of "Great witch" and are personally given permission by Neptune can go into the #13 constellation."

Han twitched his mouth. He had been investigating the Dark Crystal at Deliface for three whole days. According to Han's speculations, the place where the Dark Crystal was being hidden is surrounded by monsters.

Among the whole Deliface constellations, the #13 constellation is the place with the most miasma. Everyone describes the magic of this planet, a place where there is a huge possibility that the Dark Crystal is in but Han cannot go, this is a problem.

"The deadline is tonight. If we still cannot find a way to approach the #13 constellation, then we shall barge in." Han ponders to himself and has made up his mind.

Barging into the holy land of witches was not a good idea as the witches are not a normal race. The witches are efficient in using various kinds of technologies, poisons, shape-shifting, illusions, puppetry, summoning arts, etc. These magics were not easy to combat. Even though Han's powers were already at the warlord level, he still cannot guarantee his own safety.

But there are no other ways. Han cannot waste his time in Deliface anymore, even Mazuoji was suspecting his intentions. It has been three days and Han has not hired a single mercenary nor bought a single slave. Compared to what he told them about him coming here to hire mercenaries for his family, there is a big difference.

"Let's go check out the slave market, maybe I'll find what I need today." Han said to Mazuoji .

"Ok."

Mazuoji joyously brought Han to the slave market. It already wasn't the first time. Han and Mazuoji knew the merchants very well. They all know that Han was here to hire reapers, but he had a high standard. It has been three days and none have caught his eye.

Mazuoji went asking around and very quickly he returned to Han's side, said: "The people in the market said that there will be a top notch slave arriving at no. 888 today, one of King Mandela's personal guard captured by Neptune. He is being sold at store no.888!"

Han startled and puzzled, "King Mandela is one of the three kings, his personal guard can be sold as slave?"

Mazuoji said: "I am not sure about too, it is said that this army are being unfaithful to Neptune. Although they are King Mandela's personal guards, they should listen and show respect to not only one person but all three of the kings."

"Now that they become slaves, our chance has come, aren't you looking for high standard reapers? If they can be the personal guard of the king, they are all excellent. They will be very useful if you can purchase them."

According to Han's understanding, witches are not bound by emotional constrains. Unlike Han's brothers, who will die for Han, this kind of relationship doesn't exist for witches, even among family.

Take Mazuoji as an example, his family support him academically, allow him to be a successful guide, but half of the money is reserved for his family, to repay them for their support. Even when he returns home to eat, he notifies his parents in advance and has to wait for their approval before he can return home to eat. The food expenses must be calculated clearly.

This cold attitude of the witches is to nurture their independency. They don't rely on anyone, whether it was family, they don't trust anyone, or even friends, this is their way of becoming a "Great witch".

Han followed Mazuoji to store no.888. Superstitious witches also believe in lucky numbers, this store number had the most power within the slave market, it is said that the store owner has many connections. That's why he can get the best slaves within the market.

Just as expected, 24 elite witch warriors became slaves, with their armor still equipped. They were shackled and taken to the slave market to be sold, thus attracting a lot of attention.

These warriors had their face painted black, standing straight. Compliments were murmured by those around them, saying that these warriors were the best slaves that anyone has ever seen within the market.

Han thinks that it is funny because these warriors are King Mandela's personal guards, and not a single person remembers that they used to protect their liege loyally. Yet many wishing to buy them treat them as animals by looking into their mouth and teeth.

We can clearly see that witches are not very humane.

"Boss, look at these slaves, are they up to your standards? Within us witches, King Mandela and emperor Sha both had two personal troops each, a total of 24 people, while Neptune has three, totaling up to 36 people."

"Those who can be the personal guards are not only good at fighting, they are also loyal. Rumors have it that King Mandela's personal guards were trained by him personally and have bodies that can resist all poisons." Mazuoji kept praising these warriors.

Han was startled, if these warriors have such high poison resistant bodies, then couldn't they use poisons just like him?

There is a huge difference in the combat abilities between the Han that had taken drugs and when he doesn't. These 24 warriors should be the same.

"I heard that they are warriors that have reached the 20 intermediate tier quasi-warlord level." Mazuoji was busy asking around for Han.

"The whole squad is on sale, cannot be sold separately, although there is no price tag, it is not going to be cheap."

"Oh no, Neptune has a VIP coming over to check the merchandise. I0t was difficult for Neptune to invite this blacksmith. It is said that this blacksmith has to go to the holy land by himself to forge Neptune a new weapon."

"This is going to be troublesome, we can't fight with the VIP of Neptune." Mazuoji heard the news and kept rubbing his hands nervously beside Han.

Other than paying for the daily fees, the guide can get commission from the customers. These warriors are expensive, so if Han buys them, Mazuoji will receive a huge amount of money. Therefore Mazuoji was more concerned than Han about losing the opportunity to buy these slaves.

After Han listened to what Mazuoji said, he said to himself: "What happened to Neptune's guest? Does he have to go to the holy land to help Neptune forge his god tier warriors? Or…"

While thinking, the blacksmith VIP arrived, a very high tier "Great witch" accompanied by a black-skinned middle age man with thick eye-brows and big eyes. Those eye-brows seemed to be his special trait, just like the thickness you find in oil paintings.

It was simple to determine who was a "Great witch" within the witch race. The higher ranked they were, the more colors and feathers they will have and the more eye catching and colorful they will be.

"That is Neptune's most trusted consultant, Nan Duo, it looks like Neptune cherishes this VIP a lot." Within the crowd, there was an eye-catching "Great witch". Mazuoji whispered to Han.

The thick eye-browed blacksmith stepped forward and patted the warriors' shoulders, gladly he said: "This really is a group of strong slaves, I'll take all of them!"

Suddenly the crowd goes quiet, these elite slaves had a chance that cannot be passed, they have caught the eyes of many, yet these slaves are being horded by this thick eye-browed blacksmith. However no one complained since he is Neptune's VIP, if anyone were to shame him publicly, then that person was shaming Neptune too. Everyone could imagine the result.

Suddenly, right at this moment Han smiled, loudly proclaimed, "Wait, I like these warriors a lot too!"

Swish~

The whole market went dead silent, and everyone stared at Han.

Chapter 277: Turning Point

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

"Slow down, I also like these warriors!"

Just as Han finished speaking, he ignored all the surprised looks that people were giving him and walked towards those soldiers, gently tapping the witch warrior leader on the shoulder. With a smile he said, "If we are talking about business, it should be fair competition. If I were to buy these men, how much would it cost?"

Nan Duo, one of Fantasy Neptune's trusted advisers sneered:" I am afraid it cannot be done with money. Wu Dengfeng is Fantasy Neptune's VIP guest, so these warriors are a gift to Mr. Wu."

Han shocked, looked at the dark faced man with heavy eyebrows and said, "So these men belong to Mr.Wu already?"

"That's right." Nan Duo nodded.

"Fair enough." Han politely escaped, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to discuss business with Mr. Wu."

Nan Duo looked very troubled. He never thought Han would have left and gone directly to Wu Dengfeng to buy these slaves. As the situation changed, now it was very hard for him to get involved again.

Wu Dengfeng thought Han was a very interesting individual and smiled, "You sure are clever, but if you want to take these men from me, I am afraid you need a convincing reason."

Han said, "I have heard about the legendary forging master Wu a long time ago, I happen to have a piece of unique metal with me. Would Mr. Wu be interested?"

"Metal? Let me have a look." Since Wu Dengfeng was a forging master, his interests towards metals exceeded the interest he had on these men, but he warned Han. "I have seen all kinds of metals in my lifetime, so if you are trying to fool me with low class metal, don't say I didn't warn you about the consequences."

"Look."

Han hands over a piece of dark reddish metal with gold embedded into Wu Dengfeng's hands. This was the Fire Drake Forging Gold. Han forced the Fire Drake to transform and slaughtered it to acquire such a rare metal.

Wu Dengfeng was shocked. He grabbed the Fire Drake Forging Gold into his hands and took a careful inspection of it and let out a deep breath, "This is definitely a type of metal that I have never seen before, its spectacular! Where did you get this?"

Han did not speak, but took a glance around. Wu Dengfeng understood his intentions.

Wu Dengfeng dragged Han closer and insisted, "This is not the right place to talk, follow me!"

Without any explanations, Wu Dengfeng took Han back to his hotel. To welcome such a special and important guest, the glamorous hotel was completely shut down to outsiders. The only people living in this monumental facility were Wu Dengfeng and his men.

Wu Dengfeng told his apprentices to set up the metal detecting analyzer, and was busy for several hours in his room before appearing in the living room filled with joy.

Wu Dengfeng was somewhat disappointed "Your piece of metal is astonishing, but there is not enough of it."

Han said with a smile. Wu Dengfeng was not able to identify it as Fire Drake Forging gold and obviously did not want to give it back to Han.

Han spoke politely, "Master Wu, I am going to be very straight forward with you. If you want that piece of metal, you have to give me all the men that you brought today. I will also impart to you information about the metal's origin."

Wu Dengfeng looked very hesitant and asked "Where? Where did you get it from!?"

"Those men."

Wu Dengfeng waved his arm and says "Sigh, it's only some men, they are all yours! Now, where does this metal originate from?"

Han's first desire has been fulfilled, speaking very formally, "To tell you the truth, the reason why I came to Deliface is to find the origin of this metal."

Wu Dengfeng asked with curiosity, "How so? Are you saying this metal originates from Deliface?"

Han mysteriously speaking, "This is a long story, it dates all the way back to my grandfather's generation."

The first rule of being a profiteer; In order to ask for an outrageous price, a good quality product was not enough, there must be a shocking story that people can pass on for centuries.

A chair was worth 100.

A chair made from yellow rosewood can sell for 1,000.

A yellow rosewood chair sat on by the queen is now worth 10,000.

Suppose not only is this chair made from yellow rosewood, sat on by the queen, and the queen was very naughty. She had an intimate relationship with the servant, got pregnant with an infant, and the infant was then choked to death on this chair.

Now that there is a cruel but shocking story behind this chair, it becomes priceless.

Even though Han was not a profiteer himself, but he fully understood the mechanisms behind such practices. So he made up a story of how his grandfather put in extensive efforts and dedication into finding this piece of metal, causing the family to be chased down over the past decades. Han elaborated on the suffering his "family" endured over the years, and finally discovering that the origin was on Deliface in the # 13 constellation.

When he has finally tracked down this location, he found that # 13 constellation was a restricted area, and no one was allowed to enter,

This story had so many turning points it left Wu Dengfeng constantly in shock, and even a bit confused.

To say Han's story was flawless, that's not true, but the cleverness was that # 13 constellation was the witch's holy realm, a restricted area, and it was famously known as the source of all kinds of strange phenomenon. This was why Wu Dengfeng believed the story and thought it was possible.

Wu Dengfeng let out a deep breath, "So that is what happened. It seems like your family has been trying to locate this metal for hundreds of years now, and after overcoming all those obstacles, it must have been really tough."

Inquiring further details on the metal, Wu Dengfeng says "Coincidentally, Fantasy Neptune has invited me to # 13 constellation to forge him a new weapon, before the witch died, did he tell you the exact location of where to find this metal? #13 constellation is not a small place, it is an entire planet."

"He did mention it."

"Where?"

Han shook his head in silence.

Wu Dengfeng quickly realized and added, "That was really dumb of me. How can you tell me so easily, that is a secret your family has been searching for hundreds of years."

Han rolled his eyes and whispers, "Actually, I can tell you."

Wu Dengfeng speaking with confidence, "Oh? If you tell me the exact location of this metal, I will think of a way to mine it!"

Han said, "Master Wu, I trust you, but in the end, this is still a business."

After bursting out in laughter, Wu Dengfeng lowered his voice and said, "You are absolutely right. Once its done, you can take 30% of the metal."

Han was silent.

"40%?"

Han frowned a little and remained silent.

Clenching his teeth, Wu Dengfeng says "You know what, since fate has brought us together, my brother, I will split it in half with you! Is that good enough for you?"

"Deal." Han extended his right arm with a smile, "But I also need to go to # 13 constellation, to witness the mining of such precious and spectacular metal. Or else, I won't tell you the location even if you kill me."

Wu Dengfeng surprised, standing up and walking across the living room back and forth.

Finally, his desire for the Fire Drake Forging Gold got the better of him and Wu Dengfeng conceded, "It can be done, but however, you have to follow my instructions."

"No problem." As Han nods.

Deliface constellation, # 1 constellation, Fantasy Neptune's castle.

Nan Duo was reporting Wu Dengfeng's newest demands to Fantasy Neptune.

Fantasy Neptune with a deep cold voice, "Wu wants to take a stranger into the holy realm?"

Nan Duo replies, "Yes, he said he met a new human. Wu claimed that he is very talented in forging, and to forge a new weapon for you, this man must be his assistant."

Fantasy Neptune sneered, "What do you think?"

"Excuses! Absurd excuses!" Nan Duo complaining in anger, "A stranger he just met can be Wu Dengfeng's assistant? They are treating us like fools, it is obvious that he wants to bring Han for some reason we don't know about, we should refuse him!"

Fantasy Neptune shaking his head, "No, grant him permission."

"My lord! If you agree to his terms, I am afraid Wu Dengfeng will push even further."

"He can go right ahead! Right now, we are in need of him, so we must not upset Wu Dengfeng or else it will ruin my big plans. Go, do as I say, regardless of how outrageous Wu Dengfeng's demands are, grant him permission. As long as he can do what I asked, pff!"

Nan Duo's eyes suddenly brightened up and whispers, "After his work is finished, we get rid of them both?"

Fantasy Neptune stated without a doubt, "This stays between you and I. Now go, make this Mr.Wu satisfied."

Chapter 278: Sixteen Apostle's descend

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Han finally had the opportunity to travel to #13 Constellation. There was no need to enter by force since he was going with the forge master Wu Dengfeng by Starship to enter the witch's holy realm.

After getting off the battleship, Wu Dengfeng was very curious, as this was the first time humans have ever arrived at the witch's holy realm.

Taking a glance around, #13 Constellation seemed to have never been developed. The altars, ancestral graves and the Great Witch memorial in the legends could not be found anywhere.

Wu Dengfeng and Han landed in the mountains. There was only a small path made of bluestones, leading towards the darkness of a horrifying jungle. The roar of beasts and the buzz of bugs filled the air.

"What the hell is this place? Where is Fantasy Neptune?" Wu Dengfeng was dissatisfied. Han blended in with the rest of the troops and was silent. "Please follow me."

Nan Duo was leading Han and his team deeper into the forest. The extensive number of bugs in the forest made Wu Dengfeng increasingly more agitated. The forge master was not an explorer, so he disliked environments like this one.

After walking shortly, they arrived at a cliff. There was a series of stepping stones floating in mid-air leading into a tunnel to the other side.

Nan Duo suggested, "Master, your men can not go any further. Beyond this point is a restricted area."

Wu Dengfeng was unpleased. "Without these assistants, how am I going to work?"

Nan Duo said, "Master, Fantasy Neptune is waiting for you. Once we arrive at the holy realm, he will explain everything to you."

Wu Dengfeng feeling helpless, told his men to settle at the bottom of the cliff while he followed Nan Duo onto the steep sided stepping stones and disappeared into the mountains.

Some witch's warriors silently appeared out of the forest. Since this was a holy realm and a restricted area, camps could only be built with the most basic materials. They chopped some tree branches, building a very simple and neat wooden shed. They then dug a hole in the ground, put some stones to make a base for a bonfire, then placed a pot on top and stewed some broth.

The Witch's ancestors had lived like this during the past, and on holy realms, everything must be done the same way as their ancestors.

Under such harsh environments, Han remained unaffected while Wu Dengfeng's men were suffering. Without couches and beds, sleeping in wet piles of leaves, food made from shrub seeds, this primitive life style caused Wu Dengfeng's men to complain frequently.

At dawn, Wu Dengfeng finally came back to the camp, not uttering a single word. He sat down at the bonfire looking troubled.

Han thought for a moment, slowly approaching Wu Dengfeng and asked, "Master, when will we start excavating the mines?"

Wu Dengfeng looked at Han and let out a deep breath, "Things are complicated. I originally wanted to mention excavating the mine while forging the weapon for Fantasy Neptune as metal is needed and let him take the initiative."

"Now that plan is ruined as Fantasy Neptune is not looking for a weapon."

Han asked with curiosity, "Then what is it that he wants?"

Just before Wu Dengfeng spoke, he took a glance at the surroundings very cautiously and remained silent.

"I am exhausted today, we can discuss this matter tomorrow. We won't be leaving for quite a while."

Seeing that Wu Dengfeng was only willing to say this, Han disappointedly went back to his shed, and laid down on the leaves, closing his eyes to rest.

Just past midnight, Wu Dengfeng's men had already fallen asleep due to fatigue. The entire camp was filled with silence. At this moment, Han suddenly opened his eyes.

"Eye of Darkness"

Swish~

Han carefully observed the surroundings. All the ambushing witch warriors appeared before his eyes.

These warriors were very dedicated. Under such shivery night, they hid in the swamps, on branches, in grasslands, enduring mosquito bites, utterly silent, closely observing the camp.

Strangely, Wu Dengfeng was still awake.

Han can clearly see him with his eye of darkness, Wu Dengfeng sitting by the bonfire, continuously drawing on the ground with a stick.

"No, it still doesn't work."

"This is frustrating, why would Fantasy Neptune want something like this?"

As Wu Dengfeng drew, he mumbled these words in disappointment. It seems that Wu Dengfeng was unable to deliver what Fantasy Neptune wanted, and that was why he was so anxious.

After a while, Wu Dengfeng was also exhausted and went to sleep. However, Han quietly walked out of his shed.

Under heavy surveillance, Han had two unique abilities.

One of them being his eye of darkness, allowing him to identify all ambushes.

The other being his Path of Void. This abnormal extreme mobility allowed Han to sneak past enemies.

Also, Han was considered of having high-tier quasi-warlord level strengths. His powers were comparable to tier 1 expert ranks. It was almost impossible for those witch assassins to stop Han from sneaking by.

Shortly after, Han escaped the witch's perimeter, entering the real forest. To the left was the steep sided cliff.

Swish~

Han climbed like a lizard, hoping to get to higher grounds and use his eye of darkness to determine exactly where he was.

It didn't take Han very long to get to the top of the cliff. He discovered that the place where they camped at was on a mountain that had been neatly split from the middle.

On the mountain, there were vast amounts of flat land with numerous tombstones, with an elevated altar in the center.

"Graves, altars, this must be the witch's holy realm." Han thought.

He crouched on the edge, looking towards the horizon far far away.

"Eye of darkness!"

Swish~

Opening his eye of darkness once again, Han saw even further into the bushes. Suddenly, Han startled after discovering an object with dark energy descending with a parachute from high above.

"Dark apostle" Han's eyes filled with hatred.

Han had always hated the dark apostle and never forgot when they wiped out his expedition team and left him as the only survivor. Ms. White, Ma Jingkong, Lesa, the Riley brothers and Cerberus Arthur were all killed in action! Their deaths must be avenged!

Soon after, Han calmed himself as this was the witch's territory. It would not be a clever idea if Han rushed and fought with them to the death. The best option would be to let the witches deal with them and clean up this mess.

Obviously, dark apostles used a very advanced stealth technology this time. As the stealth battleship approached, it shoots out landing pods like a hot air balloon containing one dark apostle, slowly descending, impossible for the witch warriors to detect.

"It's too bad, I found you guys." Han let out a sneer.

He gently swiped his finger across the Lunar mark, and let out the Silver Fox

The stealth technology on Lunar mark had helped Han significantly. Before entering # 13 Constellation, everyone's Dimensional Ring was taken away, but Han's Lunar mark was an invisible necklace, and it did not influence him.

After counting, Han sneered, "16 landing cabins, which means 16 apostles came this time, they are very ambitious this time. Silver Fox, you know what to do."

Silver Fox pounded his chest, then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Shortly after, Silver Fox's echoing from the bushes has spread. He was very cunning, he caught a ferocious star white rhino, violently pounding the rhino to make noises. Using his paws to force the rhino into the desired direction, just close enough to where the dark apostles landed.

Swish~

Witch warriors in the bushes were alarmed, 3 of them went to scout where the sound was coming from.

Using the eye of darkness, Han could see very clear that his Silver Fox was very mischievous sometimes. Even Han shook his head.

Han and his Silver Fox were telepathically connected. Although the Silver Fox was unable to see where the stealthy dark apostles were at, Han could see them very clearly. Although the apostle's exact positions could not be revealed instantly, but disturbing their plans was not a problem at all.

The Silver Fox hid inside the rhino's ear, steering it right into the landing pod. The apostle inside the landing cabin did not even have time to react, and the collision with the rhino made a very loud sound!

Boom!

Due the the heavy impact, the rhino died instantly as there was too much power exerted on his head.

The well trained witch warriors quickly spotted the rhino. A metallic pod that had never been seen before was slowly removing its invisibility, startling the warriors to send an unique witch's alarm to alert the others.

Witnessing all of this, Han sneered. As long as the witch warriors discover one cabin, they can find a second one. A war between the witches and the dark apostles was inevitable.

Suddenly, just as Han was filled with joy, the situation has changed!

The bush far away vanished into thin air, exposing grasslands!

The sudden change in terrain left Han dumbfounded.

"It's an illusion!" Han thought to himself in shock.

Chapter 279: King Fantasy Neptune's Request

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

When the miraculous illusion technique began, Han could not help but be extremely shocked. His eyebrows knitted in a frown.

Han had never seen such a powerful illusion before. In Han's vision, the thousand miles of forest suddenly turned into a meadow. The swamps were gone, the trees were gone, and even the animals in the forest were also gone.

How come an illusion could affect such a vast area? If Han did not see that by himself, he would never believe it.

"Eye of darkness!"

Shabu~

Han's right eye once again turn pitch-black. This was the battle of his eye of darkness against the illusion!

He failed.

Han actually found that his eye of darkness was not working out!

Even with the power of eye of darkness, all Han could see was still the same vast meadow. His eye of darkness could not see through the intricacies of the illusion!

"Impossible! This is impossible!" echoes of cries of bewilderment reverberated in Han's heart. "Come back, silver fox! This is truly extraordinary, this is some kind of illusion which I can't break through. Leave those dark apostles alone and protect yourself!"

Even more frightening was that the spiritual connection between Han and silver fox was lost upon the starting of the illusion. Silver fox was undoubtedly in that grass land. However it was like Han and silver fox were located in two different dimensions, one being the real world, another being the world created by the illusion.

There was no doubt that King Fantasy Neptune was the only master who could work out an illusion of this level.

Sha Emperor's last words passed through Han's mind. King Fantasy Neptune was of the strongest of all the three kings. His combat power was far beyond Sha Emperor and King Mandela. It seemed like what he said was true.

Han remembered that in the second level of dark net, he was not able to distinguish between virtual reality and the real world either. Did that mean King Fantasy Neptune's unique skill was analogous to how the dark net worked?

There were too many complicated puzzles to be solved, Han could not figure all of them out at the same time.

At the same time, in the meadow created by the illusion, the dark apostles' conspiracy had been completely revealed.

After the forest had been turned into grassland, the formidable power of the illusion tore down all of the dark apostles' camouflage. Those snail-shaped boarding pods were revealed, as well as the apostles in their invisible armor.

Even the dark apostles did not realize that King Fantasy Neptune's illusion techniques had reached this level. The apostles could change their gene formulation and disguise themselves as whoever they want, but at that moment, in the illusionary world created by King Fantasy Neptune, even their DNA-level camouflage was not working at all. They were forced to reveal themselves.

Without disguise, the dark apostles could be described as 'human beings without a face'. Their bodies and organs were the same as humans, but they did not have the five sensory organs, just a plain face.

How could they live without a nose to breathe?

Because dark apostles were 'artificial persons', they did not rely on oxygen to maintain their lives. Indeed, their lives were maintained by the biological fusion technology inserted inside in their body, an analogy to the zero-degree brain field of espers. The human-made energy source could provide apostles energy that was 99 percent similar to source energy.

King Fantasy Neptune's illusion was like a magic mirror, exposing all of the dark apostles.

After that, the witch warriors hiding all around narrowed their encirclement, gradually approaching the dark apostles.

After a short period of panic among the apostles, they decided to break away from the disadvantageous illusion. They gathered together, formed a tactical team consisting of sixteen apostles and started to make attempts to break out.

The battle broke out soon enough. The apostles possessed the power of evil, however, the witch warriors were also experts at a variety of sorcery. They released dreadful vampire insects, which turned into monsters similar to pangolins, piercing into the ground. They also summoned some kind of soul-like pure energy creature.

Han witnessed what was happening far away. Just when the witch warriors and the dark apostles were about to use their unique skills and make a final bid for victory, Han suddenly noticed the change in the camp.

Maybe it was because that the witch warriors were afraid that this fight would get to Wu Dengfeng and his casting master team, a troop appeared at the camp and was trying to evacuate them.

At that moment Han had two choices, either to get back to the camp as soon as possible and continue to hide, or to simply leave Wu Dengfeng's team and try to find an opportunity in the 13th planet on his own.

After he thought for a short moment, Han decided that it would be better not to expose himself at that moment. After all, Han was still shocked by the magical illusion of King Fantasy Neptune. The witch warriors were already directly confronting the dark apostles. If Han managed his stamina properly, he still had a chance.

After Han thought of that, he hurriedly went down the hill, got back to the camp, and sneaked into Wu Dengfeng's team.

"What's going on here?" Han pretended to be waken up by noise, he walked out of the log cabin and asked Wu Dengfeng.

"Don't even mention it, these witch warriors say that some intruder got in. They want us to move to the restricted area so they can better protect us." Wu Dengfeng said.

Han frowned, "Did they not say that outsiders are prohibited from getting close?"

"How can I possibly know what these guys are thinking about! Let's wait and see, next time I see King Fantasy Neptune I will make a solemn protest! In the middle of the night, how am I supposed to sleep!" Wu Dengfeng waved his hand very dissatisfied.

There was no other way, Wu Dengfeng and his fellow apprentices had to follow the witch guards to the hanging staircase. At the entrance, each of them was given a blinder and had their eyes covered. They continued waking ahead with the support from witch warriors.

As a member of the team, Han was no exception, but that was only a leather-made blinder, it could not stop Han from using his eye of darkness. He soon found that he was not taken to the holy land of the witch clan which was on the top of the plain-topped mountain, but rather he was taken downwards.

At the holy land of the witch clan, the plain-topped mountain.

An altar stood on the mountain. At that moment, the strongest among all three kings, King Fantasy Neptune, was standing right at the center of the altar, carrying out his unique illusion skill.

King Fantasy Neptune was quite a young man that had not reached his thirties yet. He had red lips and white teeth, looking very handsome, and sitting on top of a shawl of black hair was the great witch crown symbolizing the highest power in the witch clan.

King Fantasy Neptune kept his eyes closed. His hands were touching a black crystal, casting spells, the veins on his temple raised.

The situation lasted a long period, King Fantasy Neptune finally opened up his eyes and breathed a sigh of relied, he seemed a little bit tired.

King Fantasy Neptune's inseparable adviser Nan Duo said hurriedly, "My King, I admire you great power! Under your powerful illusion, those damn intruders have no where to hide. Now our troops have forced them into the polar encirclement, it will not take long for us to destroy them!"

King Fantasy Neptune sneered and then said, "It's not that simple, I don't know where do these enemies come from. They are not human nor any other know alien species, I tried my best and only got them expelled."

In the meanwhile, King Fantasy Neptune's right hand kept stroking the black crystal.

This was a very strange-looking piece of crystal, it looked just like a specimen of human brain.

King Fantasy Neptune said in a deep voice, "Thanks to this precious treasure, my illusion could reach this unprecedented level. Unfortunately, I am only able to make use of a little portion of this crystal's energy. Only if I could make use all of this crystal's energy, I will no longer need any guards, and I could kill all the intruders just by myself."

Nan Duo said angrily, "It was all because of that damn Wu Dengfeng! No one expected that the great casting master Wu Daozi's grandson would be such a piece of useless garbage! How come he could not meet your requirement even if we invited him from so far away and also promised him generous rewards."

King Fantasy Neptune shook his head and said, "Indeed that bastard should be capable of doing the job, it was just him not willing to put all his efforts in for me."

"Forget it, after all the troubles caused by the intruders I've lost my interest in continuing to badger with Wu Dengfeng, just do it your way. I hope he could understand soon enough that what will his fate be if he do not complete what I want."

Nan Duo nodded heavily. A chilly light passed through his eyes and he then said in a deep voice, "Rest assured my dear king, let me handle this."

"If Wu Dengfeng does not do as you wish, I'll make him suffer a living hell!"

Chapter 280: Utterly Betrayed

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Han followed Wu Dengfeng and walked for a long time. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise behind them and saw that the thick alloy door was tightly closed.

"What the f*ck are they playing?" Wu Dengfeng took off his eye covers, looked around, and was suddenly stunned. They were actually in a secret chamber, and the only door was locked.

Wu Dengfeng started cursing right away, demanding that king Fantasy Neptune come see him, but did not get any response. The disciples that followed Ma Dengfeng here already began feeling a little scared. After all, the Witch Clan was the most mysterious and evil alien race, and many of them didn't want to come here in the first place.

Unfortunately, Wu Dengfeng loved money, and he couldn't withstand the Witch King Fantasy Neptune's monetary offers.

After a while, Wu Dengfeng almost lost his voice, and at that moment, Nan Duo's voice sounded from the chamber's walls. He changed his respectful attitude towards Wu Dengfeng for the past few days, and said in a mocking voice, "Yo, Wu, you don't have to curse anymore, our King Fantasy Neptune will not come see you."

"Why?!" Wu Dengfeng said angrily, "You treat me like this and you still expect me to help you? Go dream somewhere else! Let me leave! I want to go home!"

Nan Duo's voice raised a few levels in volume and shouted, "Come whenever you want, leave whenever you want? What do you think you are?! Wu, to tell you the truth, if you don't create what our king wants, don't think about leaving this life!"

Wu Dengfeng's attitude was a lot more firm, "Go back and tell Fantasy Neptune! If he treats me this way, then don't even think about getting what he wants this life time!"

Hahahaha~

Nan Duo laughed out loud and said, "Wu, you are still not giving up? From now on, I will kill one of your disciple every hour, until I kill them all! You guys all listen up! If you want to live, then get your teacher to finish the mission King Fantasy Neptune gave him!"

"I will see you in an hour!"

After Nan Duo said it he just disappeared, no matter how much Wu Dengfeng cursed, he didn't even make a sound.

"Master, please drink some water."

"Master, let me give your shoulder a massage."

Although Wu Dengfeng's disciples were worrying a lot, but they all look very obedient and tried their best to serve him.

Sigh~

Han slightly sighed. How could Wu Dengfeng know how terrifying Nan Duo's plan was. This kind of scene probably won't last very long.

Actually, Han could leave anytime he wanted. The Lunar Mark was still here, the Ares-class weapon was still here, the genetic beast army was still here, just one prison couldn't stop him at all.

But Han didn't plan to leave. First of all, the battle between the Witch clan and Dark Apostles was still continuing, and Han loved seeing his enemies kill each other. Even more so, he was waiting until they were both half dead and then appear to deliver the fatal blow.

Secondly, Han wants to find out what King Fantasy Neptune really wants.

In the blink of an eye an hour passed, and Nan Duo really sent the Witch Clan soldiers to open the door. They got into the prison-like chamber, randomly picked out a freckle-faced disciple among Wu Dengfeng's students, forced him to kneel on the ground, and pulled out a horn knife from behind.

"What are you guys doing?!"

"Don't touch my little brother (TL: can be used to refer to someone younger but studies under the same teacher as you)!"

There definitely were espers on Wu Dengfeng's side. As guards, they saw that the Witch clan really started doing something, so they all started fighting back.

Unfortunately, how could they be match of the elite Witch clan soldiers. They were soon beat up on the ground and twitched in pain.

As for that unlucky freckle-faced student of Wu Dengfeng, he was skinned alive in front of them, and his skin was wrapped around the neck of a Witch Clan soldier, still dripping blood.

The piercing crying sound of this unlucky young man before death lingered for a long time, and everyone including Wu Dengfeng started shivering.

After all, Wu Dengfeng and the others were black smiths, and the Witch clan was the most scary alien race in the Milky Way. Such bloody means was very deterrent to Wu Dengfeng and his disciples.

The cell became dead silent, only has the sound of breathing which was getting increasingly heavier.

At this moment, Nan Duo opened his mouth again.

"What a miserable death. Wu, if you continue to be stubborn, then more of your disciples will be hung up on our necks. You should know what to do. Just give it some thought now." Nan Duo said with a cold tone.

"Master, I don't want to die." Wu Dengfeng's youngest disciple trembled as he said, and he almost got scared to the point of crying.

Shua~

All eyes were concentrated to Wu Dengfeng which made him very uncomfortable.

"I really can't obey Fantasy Neptune's request ah…" Wu Dengfeng sighed, and he said with a pale face.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the room began to have subtle changes. Besides a few truly royal apprentices, the rest of them all hid to one side, or began dazing into the ceiling, or whispering something.

Soon, an hour passed.

The second body was hung in the cell. That was Wu Dengfeng's favorite little student, very talented and intelligent, doesn't talk much, and whenever Wu Dengfeng scolds him, he doesn't refute but just giggle.

"Damn you Fantasy Neptune! If you got the guts then come at me instead!" Wu Dengfeng shouted with all of his energy.

Nan Duo sneered, "You want to die? Not that easy! Everyone listen up, now only your master can save you. The thing that our King Fantasy Neptune wants can only be made by your master, because he's the Forge God Wu Daozi's grandson, you guys probably all know this."

"As long as he's willing to use the secret casting technique that was passed down through generations and create that item for King Fantasy Neptune, then you guys can all live. So, if you guys want to live, don't come beg me, go back your master."

Wu Dengfeng finally fell into the trap set up by Nan Duo. Seeing his disciples all began surrounding and closing in on him, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Master, please save us."

"How could you bear to just see our little brother die like that?"

"Master, you just need to use the secret technique to forge the thing Fantasy Neptune wants, not only you can live, we can all live and continue serving you, isn't that nice?"

Pudong~

Wu Dengfeng's disciples all kneeled down, crying, begging, asking Wu Dengfeng to work for King Fantasy Neptune.

Wu Dengfeng's face grew more and more despair, "You guys don't understand. First of all, the thing wanted by Fantasy Neptune isn't something that can be forged with just the secret technique. Besides, this item is too evil, even if I really create it for him, it will only result in more killing, and that goes against my mission as a descendant of Wu Daozi."

"So, Master, you rather see us all get skinned alive then save us?" A disciple asked with cold eyes.

Wu Dengfeng let out a long sigh and said, "You guys are all my disciples, my successors. If possible, how can I not save you guys? It's just that, I really can't do it this time."

"I don't believe it!"

"This old fag's heart has turned dark! We served him for so many years, and during the critical moment, he just let us die!"

"We are going to die anyways. If we die, we can't let this old fag live on!"

"Yes, kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"How can there be a master like him in this world, skin him, and dissemble his bones!"

Wu Dengfeng's disciples' mood finally broke out. That's exactly what Nan Duo calculated. He wanted Wu Dengfeng to be betrayed by everyone!

Wu Dengfeng's face became more and more pale, seeing those disciples that had been very obedient in the past now turning into hungry wolves and charged at him, he swallowed a spittle, and closed his eyes in despair.

Seeing this urgent situation, Han who had been sitting in the corner suddenly stood up. He walked to Wu Dengfeng in big steps. Those Wu Dengfeng's students wanted to stop him, but they were sent flying away the moment they touch Han's body.

Han came to Wu Dengfeng's side, and then said to those students whose eyes were reaming green light, "Don't be a fool. Even if your master satisfied King Fantasy Neptune's wish, and then? You guys can leave here alive?"

"At least there would be hope!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Kill him too!"

The already insane people all targeted Han as well. However, they just saw Han faintly smiled, and then his body began teleporting very quickly in unconventional patterns. Merely in an instant, Wu Dengfeng's disciples were all beaten up onto the ground.

This was the absolute domination of strength. Han just needed a span of a few breaths to be able to kill them all!

Wu Dengfeng saw Han revealed some moves, he was naturally surprised too. Now that he was betrayed by all of his close ones, he saw Han as someone particularly dear to him, like family!

Han sat down beside Wu Dengfeng and said lightly, "With me here, they can't hurt you."

With these words out, Wu Dengfeng's tears almost started rolling down!

"But continuing like this is still not a solution. The King Fantasy Neptune guy already decided to have us killed, we can't just sit here and wait." Then, Han's topic suddenly changed and he asked, "Speaking of which, this Fantasy Neptune guy, what does he really want from you?"

Chapter 281: The staff

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Talking about what King Neptune wanted Wu Dengfeng to forge, this heavy eye-browed forging master let out a deep breath. He glanced at the surroundings. Clearly his apprentices had left him in disappointed. As of this moment, only Han was still on his side, even though they just met not long ago.

Thinking for a moment, Wu Dengfeng decided to tell Han the truth.

"What King Neptune wants is a staff" Wu Dengfeng whispers.

"Staff?" Han replied shocked.

Wu Dengfeng nodded his head slightly, "To be more precise, it is a weapon in the form of a staff that enhances cognitive abilities. King Neptune has acquired a black crystal from somewhere and it is in the shape of a human's brain, containing complicated dark energy."

"King Neptune discovered that if he can merge with this crystal, it will produce an enormous energy field, drastically increasing his illusion abilities."

"This discovery filled King Neptune with joy, but the problem was, although this black crystal contained a powerful energy field, but it is very difficult to stabilize. Excessive use can cause King Neptune's neural system to break down, becoming more violent, and even killing his own men."

"That is why King Neptune came to me, because my grandfather was a generational forging master Wu Daozi. Our family inherited a type of spiritual forging, allowing weapons to have life in them, merging with the soul of its user, if that happens, then he can merge with the black crystal as an entity, having powers many times even tens of times stronger than before.

Han was puzzled, "If you can spiritually forge, why not forge King Neptune his staff?"

Wu Dengfeng replied with a bitter smile, "I have analyzed the nature of that black crystal. It contains a form of dark energy. Since King Neptune is so greedy, once I use spiritual forging to forge such a weapon, it would be the same as if I created a horrifying monster."

"King Neptune think he is capable of controlling the power of the dark crystal, but he is overestimating himself. It is more likely the crystal will be controlling him. According to the crystal's dark attributes, I can guarantee that once King Neptune gets the staff, he will become insane, starting a massacre. Not only will I die, all the witches near by will also be goners."

Now Han understood. The only reason why Wu Dengfeng does not want to perform spiritual forging is because he does not want to create an insane monster.

With King Neptune's powers, once insane, it will become uncontrollable. The results were very scary.

Thinking for a moment, Han said with a bitter smile, "Right now, regardless if you forge the staff for King Neptune or not, he will not let you live. Also, your apprentices, they will all go down with you."

"This is inevitable, I was being greedy. Greed will always have its cost, I knew that King Neptune was not trustworthy, yet I still decided to cooperate with him. This is such a tragedy." Wu Dengfeng ridiculed himself.

Han lowers his voice, "Actually, I have an idea."

Wu Dengfeng's eyes brightened up and asked, "What idea?"

Han says, "Instead of waiting for our deaths, we should fight our way through."

"I think there are two areas we can approach from. One being forging the staff. King Neptune wants a spiritually embedded staff, then just make one for him, but you have to control the staff's ability, not allowing King Neptune to become stronger, but to make him weaker."

"And then, you have to trust me. Once I find an opportunity, I can kill him."

Wu Dengfeng was suddenly in shock. Han's suggestion was a plausible way. King Neptune wants a staff, but this staff will not improve his powers, but instead it will destroy him.

As for Han, Wu Dengfeng was starting to feel that there was more to him than what he originally thought. Maybe this young man can save his life at a crucial moment.

Glancing around, everyone had given up, only having despair. Wu Dengfeng's only hope was to rely on Han to save his life.

At this moment, Han said with confidence, "As long as I am not dead, you won't be. Let's combine forces and fight for it! After all, there is nothing more torturing than waiting for our death."

Wu Dengfeng was shocked once again, nodding his head with his teeth clinched.

An hour have passed by. Witch warriors appeared in the cell again. This time they had their eyes locked on Han, Han repressed all of Wu Dengfeng's apprentices, which avoided anyone ratting them out. This left the withes in disappointment.

"Slow down!" Wu Dengfeng suddenly stood up and said, "I will accept your terms, to forge what your King Neptune wants right away. However, I also have one condition."

"What condition?" The witch with colorful feathers on his head sneered and asked, as if he can feel the fear of Wu Dengfeng. The two dead bodies with their skins stripped was starting to have an effect.

Wu Dengfeng pointed at Han and said, "I don't trust anyone else. I want Han to be my apprentice, he has to protect me. Wherever I go, Han also has to go. If you cannot comply, this is over."

The witch warrior thought about his request and said, "I will report this to master Nan Duo. He will decide."

Afterwards, the witch warrior left the cell. Wu Dengfeng and his apprentices were all relieved. As for Wu Dengfeng bringing Han with him, it seemed normal as Han was the only one that stood up and protected him as everyone was about to betray him just a moment ago.

Even Nan Duo had a similar viewpoint. He thought that Wu Dengfeng was scared to death. As for Han, he did show some solid basic skills while fighting, but this was the witch's holy realm, what can a human do with some basic skills? Nan Duo did not think Han will be a threat.

Since Wu Dengfeng wants Han to be by his side in order for his to work, then so be it.

Soon, the witch with colorful feathers on his head returned to the cell, talking to Wu Dengfeng and Han, "Your request has been approved by master Nan Duo. We will give you guys three days time to forge what our king wants, or else, humph!"

Han and Wu Dengfeng did not say anything, following the witch warrior heading outside. Just before leaving, Wu Dengfeng turned back to see his apprentices. He let out a long sigh and whispered, "This is as far as I go, you guys take care of yourselves."

Han slightly nodded. No matter what, Wu Dengfeng was a forging master with a bottom line, knowing that if he forged the staff, it will lead to King Neptune becoming the scourge of the Milky Way galaxy. Thus, he firmly rejected this request. As for treating his apprentices, Wu Dengfeng was also not bad. Although they did betray him at one point, Wu Dengfeng still had some feelings for them.

It is too bad that Wu Dengfeng's apprentices did not know, Han and Wu Dengfeng was not giving King Neptune his staff, but to give him a staff of death.

"You keep this for me, in case anything happens to me." Wu Dengfeng quietly took off the delicate ring on his pinky, handing it over to Han.

Chapter 282: Ingenious work

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Han obviously knows, according to Wu Dengfeng's description, King Neptune's weird black crystal was the remains of the Dark King, the brain of darkness.

If Han could acquire this magical crystal, he will very likely be the first with the void end power to achieve warlord level strength in existence!

Warlord, this was way too big. Han was willing to take all the risks.

Following the witch warrior into a room specially prepared by King Neptune for the forging of the staff, Han did not see the brain of darkness that he desired, but instead some professional forging tools and all sorts of different raw materials.

The witch warrior sticks up three fingers and said, "Three days. You guys only have three days." before shutting the door behind him as he left.

Han said with a frown on his face, "The crystal is not here?"

Wu Dengfeng shook his head, "King Neptune treats it very preciously. How can he give it to me so easily? According to our agreement, I have to forge the base of the staff first, and then King Neptune will attach the crystal himself, making it an unique godly weapon."

Han nodded. It seems that acquiring the brain of darkness for himself is not as easy as he thought, there are still twists and turns that awaits.

"Let's start now." Wu Dengfeng rolled his sleeves up.

Han asked, "What is your plan?"

Wu Dengfeng said, "Obviously to insert the catalysts into the staff that can retract the dark crystal's energy. Once King Neptune uses it, he will go down with the staff."

Han shook his head. Although he wanted King Neptune dead, to eliminate this powerful enemy, the brain of darkness has to be destroyed. Han was disappointed.

After dying from the black hole, the Dark King left behind 7 items, Han had already acquired 3 of them, and was very likely to obtain the entire set. If one of the items gets destroyed, Han's hopes will be shattered.

Han chose his words carefully, saying to Wu Dengfeng, "That is too dangerous, what if the explosion hits us and your apprentices, or the innocent people around us?"

"Not only that, the shock wave from the explosion of dark energy, if a vortex is formed, an artificial black hole will be created. Maybe it will even affect the constellations nearby as well. This will go against our original intentions of saving lives."

"What do you suggest?" Wu Dengfeng replied with a sigh. "We can't turn King Neptune into a monster now, can we?"

Han says, "How about this. King Neptune wants a staff to absorb the dark crystal's energy to enhance his illusion skill. What we need to do is reverse this ability. Allowing the dark crystal to absorb King Neptune's powers, this will significantly decrease King Neptune's threat level."

"From what I know, the dark crystal has a characteristic of greed. Once it is activated, there is a possibility that it will suck King Neptune's brain completely dry!"

"Of course, that is just my suggestion. I know nothing about forging, everything is up to you."

Wu Dengfeng touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "The reverse absorbing you mentioned is very difficult to perform, but it is not impossible, it is worth a try. Only retracting is not enough, I will need to induce King Neptune's neural system to reverse, enhancing the dark crystal's ability to destroy nerves, to obliterate King Neptune's zero degree region."

Han was shocked, encouraging him, "Very good, let do that! Turn the staff into a self-destroying trap!"

Then, Han and Wu Dengfeng started to create a reverse absorbing staff in this secret forging room.

Due to the fact that Wu Dengfeng only brought Han with him, Han had to act as a helpful assistant, to aid Wu Dengfeng in the forging of the staff.

Han had never touched forging before and was very curious towards this job. Adding to that, Wu Dengfeng was a generational forging master after all, the legendary Wu Daozi's grandson. In the process of helping, Han did witness some spectacular forging.

Overall, the most important work of a forger is forging gold, and merging metals to produce high quality alloys.

There are many small things to perfect. The metal's temperature, purity, the timing and proportion to add supporting metals, to mix or and to cool. Every step had very high demands.

Han discovered that forging was very similar to pharmacy. Both needed precise proportions of raw material. Only then can the catalyst improve quality. Even a little mistake can cause the result to turn upside down.

Regardless whether it's forging or pharmacy, both requires a high degree of accuracy. Since Han had some background in refining medicine, now that he is adjusting the properties of metal, he was very productive with very little effort. As well, he was very clever with his hands, and has a very high degree of accuracy. This was very shocking to Wu Dengfeng.

"It is hard to believe this is your first time trying forging. You are very steady with your hands, just like a machine. If one did not know, they would assume you have been studying forging for years." Seeing that Han was very accurate with adjusting the proportions of metals, Wu Dengfeng was very touched.

Han smiled, "I don't know anything about forging, but I did study medicine and genetic engineering. Both of these skills require stability and precision. Of course, patience was also needed. As for dealing with metals, I did learn a little bit about mechanics and electronics, and mechanics also deals with metals regularly. Transforming battleships, designing electric circuits, it is all related to forging in some ways."

Wu Dengfeng nodded, agreeing with what Han said, "I never thought a young person like you had such a complex academic background. Come to think of it, whether its medicine or genetic engineering, mechanics or electronics, they all belong to craftsmanship along with forging. All the skills that you learned before will help you learn forging faster."

"Impressive, if we leave alive, I will be glad to teach you some of my inherited forging abilities, because you are born to live as a craftsman. All the movements of your hands, the fine adjusting of power, it is very precise, much better than my apprentices."

Han smiled a little but remained silent.

His hands must be stable. Medicine and genetic engineering both required more delicate works with the hand. When Han was using the laser scalpel to separate neurons from the gene beast, the amount of precision needed was far greater than that of forging.

Soon, the staff's metal base had been forged. Wu Dengfeng let out a deep breath, placing his hands on the base. His dark-colored thick hands emitted a magical light. The forging master was altering the ability of this staff with his magical powers.

Wu Dengfeng clenched his teeth. His eyes flashed with coldness and said, "King Neptune, how dare you treat me like this. Don't blame me for being cold hearted, forging is not only an ability to help others. If needed, I can destroy anyone!"

Three days have passed. King Neptune's face became heavier and darker, because the dark apostles were harder to deal with than he expected.

After countless numbers of ambushes and being ambushed, the witch warriors suffered severe casualties. As for those damn apostles, they were still inside the polar regions.

Every apostle had powers beyond the warlord level, killing them will require even more sacrifices.

"Only if there was more energy in the dark crystal!" King Neptune thought bitterly to himself.

Due to the dark crystal's evil power, King Neptune had become more agitated under its influence, regularly hitting his men, causing the witches to be petrified.

King Neptune himself did not feel anything. He just felt he needed greater power. The more powerful the better. For this, he was willing to sacrifice anything.

"My lord! Good news, Wu Dengfeng has finally forged the staff! I have seen it myself, the work of Wu Daozi's grandson, it is truly spectacular." Nan Duo very excited to share this good news with King Neptune.

"Very well, let's go and have a look." King Neptune was shocked at the good news, and grinned a little, "Once I have the staff, those damned apostles, they all need to die!"

Chapter 283: Neptune's transformation

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

The footsteps from far down the hall slowly approached. Han rubbed his hands together. His face was as if nothing important was going down, but on the inside, he was preparing for a battle.

King Neptune had finally arrived, bringing with him Han's long desired brain of darkness. What Han needed to do was very simple. As the staff was doing its work, absorbing powers from Neptune, Han will kill him and steal the brain of darkness!

Han did not feel afraid, only excitement!

The power within the path of demon was more than enough of a confidence booster!

Han was no long the old dauntless Han that he was. Now he had demonic powers. Other people might be afraid of slaughtering gods and demons, but Han definitely had the nerves to do so!

Swish~

As King Neptune and his men appeared in the forging room, Han's eyes suddenly brightened up, his chest filled with the urge to kill.

One,two,three…

Han counted the number of men King Neptune brought with him, observing their body shape and level of awareness, analyzing their positions. In this chaos, Han still had a high degree of cautiousness, carefully planning a sneak attack.

King Neptune had a young and handsome face. Han did not expect this. When he clearly saw King Neptune's face, a strange feeling filled his body, feeling that the strongest witch was not real.

"Where is the staff? Where is my staff?" King Neptune asking with great interest.

"It is right here." Wu Dengfeng controlled his nervousness, walking towards the center of the forging room. There was a metal platform, covered with a piece of red silk.

"Please have a look."

Swish~

Wu Dengfeng removed the red silk, revealing a pure gold staff, the length of a grown man's forearm, filled with carefully sculpted patterns. The tip of the staff opened up like a lotus. When the brain of darkness was inserted, the staff's power will be revealed.

King Neptune took the staff in his hand, carefully inspecting it, and laughing out loud.

Hahahaha~

"So this is the staff that you forged with spiritual forging?" King Neptune asked.

"That's right." Wu Dengfeng nodded as he answers.

"Not bad, not bad at all!" King Neptune changed his tone and asked Wu Dengfeng, "This staff allows me to merge with the black crystal and an entity? Spiritually connected, to enhance the dark crystal's power to the max?"

"Absolutely right."

"How to prove that?"

"You will find out when you use it. I am already in such situation, there is no need for me to lie."

King Neptune looked at Wu Dengfeng with his sharp eyes and uttered with a cold voice, "You won't fool me even if I dared you!"

After talking, King Neptune turned his back and walked away.

Han was suddenly in shock, the script was not suppose to be like this!

Han wanted to see King Neptune put the dark crystal onto the staff, seeing it being used, and how he will be taken over and tortured by the dark energy!

And then, Han will kill King Neptune and steal the brain of darkness!

But the situation right now was, King Neptune has acquired the staff but did not want to test it out in front of them. Now it forced Han to activate his void field, to steal his illusion skills first, then fight him to the death!

Han could not guarantee his victory fighting the strongest witch king. Although he can steal King Neptune's illusion skills, but his power was still there, his guards were still there. Forcing a start to this kind of battle, the outcome cannot be anticipated.

As King Neptune was just about to leave, Wu Dengfeng stood up and frowned, "King Neptune, don't you want to test the powers of this staff? What if I lied to you?"

"As I said, you won't dare lie to me! There is no one in this world who dares lie to me!" King Neptune spoke with confidence.

Wu Dengfeng shook his head, "Things are not like that. Newly forged godly weapons, especially a staff like this that needs outside power as support might not reach its full potential the first time. It might take several tries to perfect it."

King Neptune looking at Wu Dengfeng, "Is that right? More adjustments are needed to reach its fullest potential?"

"On matters like this, I don't dare lie to you." Wu Dengfeng replied.

"Alright, then I will try out this staff's power." King Neptune walked back to the center of the forging room and said.

Wu Dengfeng was afraid to communicate with Han using eye contact, but they were both relieved. Finally things were getting back on track. Suppose King Neptune just walked off with this staff, things will get very complicated.

Han squinted his eye lightly, and tightened his fist.

Swish~

King Neptune took out an oddly shaped black crystal. Its appearance closely resembled a human's brain.

"It's the brain of darkness!" Han shouting excitedly in his mind. Just for a split second, Han had already felt the special force of darkness, and it was also the power that he desired.

Han continued to patiently wait, waiting for King Neptune to activate this staff of death. When his powers gets sucked by the staff, that =was the best chance for Han to kill and steal!

King Neptune placed the brain of darkness at the tip of the staff.

Click~

There was a very tiny sound, the lotus at the tip of the staff closed, wrapping the brain of darkness tightly in place as King Neptune slowly raised the staff, higher and higher, resembling the vow towards absolute power.

"Illusion realm, open!"

Swish~

When King Neptune activated his illusion, Han felt like he was in hell!

It was at the mouth of a volcano, very dark, countless white claws grabbed onto Han's leg, trying to take him deeper into hell, to endure the pain of fire and bloodbath!

Han never realized, illusions could be very realistic. It seemed as if he actually fell down to the 19th floor of hell!

This type of realistic illusion significantly affected Han's judgment. He could not be certain of what was happening outside of the illusion, what state King Neptune was in. The staff was filled with secrets, did it torture King Neptune or not, to let his soul endure this torment!

To kill him now, or wait for a better chance?

Obviously it cannot wait any longer!

Han had already been waiting long enough!

For the past while, Han strictly followed the path of demon these days.

What is the path of demon?

When its the right time, don't hesitate, take out your knife and start slaughtering!

That was the path of demon!

"Void field, open!"

Han suddenly opened his right fist, opening up the void field!

To take King Neptune's superpowers once and for all!

"Demon claws! Ghost claws! Come out now!"

Kakakakaka~

Right after, Han swipes through the lunar scar, unleashing his genetic monster army, spinning the Ares-Class Star-Strangling Boa, and putting on the gloves of darkness! He also consumed drugs that could significantly increase his power!

Facing such a power foe, Han was not hiding anything, using all his strength from the beginning!

Han's rage transformation was sharp, stunning, and without hesitation.

At the very moment that Han decided to kill King Neptune and steal the brain of darkness, something unexpected happened.

King Neptune flew into the air.

He was just like a rocket filled with fuel, flying up, breaking the top of the room, flying!

Brrum~

The secret forging room under the holy realm collapsed instantly! Following the holy mountain, the flat top mountain also collapsed!

Aroooo~

King Neptune screamed his lungs off!

Following was the disappearing of all illusions. The underworld illusion had disappeared and was replaced with a realistic hell, a collapsing world, huge boulders, falling on top of everyone's heads!

Swish~

At this crucial moment, demon claws and ghost claws came to the rescue, one protecting Han, and the other using its super fast speed to dig a tunnel, carrying Han and Wu Dengfeng to escape.

Bang~

Ghost claw's digging speed could reach up to 10,000 km/hour!

They quickly left the holy mountain, appearing in the forest at the foot of the holy mountain.

Wu Dengfeng was severely injured, first scared to death by the illusion of King Neptune, believing that he was actually in hell. Then came the boulders that hit his head, which caused him to lose a lot of blood.

Under both impacts, Wu Dengfeng's signs of life was extremely weak.

"Hang in there!"

Han took out some pills, stuffing them into Wu Dengfeng's bloody mouth.

"I, I really did create a monster!" Wu Dengfeng's eyes turned white, pointing towards far away, shouting in pain.

As Han looked up, he saw King Neptune using his enormous powers to destroy this forest.

His hair was loose, eyes emitting dark energy, just like a lunatic running through the forest.

Arms open wide, like a high-speed bulldozer, cutting all the trees blocking his way!

Elegant, mysterious, famously known for his illusions, King Neptune had become a barbarian warrior! Using his power to destroy the holy mountain, destroying vast amounts of forest!

Looking above, the witch's holy realm's flat top mountain looked as if it were sliced in halves. As the leader of witches, King Neptune could care less, and he was getting stronger by the minute, using clumsy yet powerful ways continuing to destroy his holy realm.

As for the staff with the brain of darkness, it had become a hammer for King Neptune, who was swinging it everywhere!

"King! What happened to you!?" A witch warrior knelt before him, trying to stop this chaos.

Bamf~

King Neptune passed by this loyal guard in a flash, raising his arms, and took off the warrior's entire head! Chewing on it with fresh blood still dripping, took a bite, and then threw onto the ground violently, shattering in pieces!

Insane!

Without a doubt, King Neptune had gone insane!

But, how does one explain his unimaginable powers!?

The insane King Neptune, only used a fist to destroy the witches' holy mountain! Using only one finger, tipped off the head of a warlord class warrior!

This was too scary!?

"Reverse absorbing" Wu Dengfeng looks like he was dying. Blood kept on coming from his mouth, pointing at the insane King Neptune, using his last breath and shouting, "Reversing the absorbing process has led him to genetic alterations in his body!"

Boom~

Han felt like the sky was shaking!

The staff Wu Dengfeng designed was intended to take King Neptune's powers, allowing Han to take his life!

Who knew, things took a wrong turn. Not only did King Neptune survive, and due to the dark energy's mutation in his body, it altered his genes to suddenly gain power!

In the end, Han and Wu Dengfeng worked together and turned King Neptune into a stronger and bigger demon.

Chapter 284: Tri-force Battle

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Ba-Dump (Heartbeat)…

Wu DengFeng pointed at the Neptune who was killing madly, blood running down from his mouth, with a morose and furious gaze. His head tilted aside and he closed his eyes for one last time.

No doubt, the greatest blacksmith Wu DengFeng's grandson was dead willingly. Neptune's gene mutation was what Wu DengFeng was trying so hard to avoid, but things just didn't always happen according to one's wishes. Not only had Han and Wu DengFeng failed to stop Neptune, they had helped him turn stronger.

Neptune had lost his mind completely. He had thoroughly become a devil with bloody red eyes, killing was the only thing in his mind, killing all that he could see.

No one could find the reason for why things turned out this way. Maybe it's the staff that turned his zero-degree brain region upside down, leading to the dark power gaining the upper hand. Neptune was controlled by the Dark Brain willingly, that's why the gene mutation happened.

All in all, Neptune's gene mutation was a series of complicated reasons that led to the worst result. Han didn't have time to think about the reason for Neptune's gene mutation because he was facing a more difficult problem now!

The war had already begun!

The remnants of Neptune's conscious told him that there was a group of strong enemies somewhere and that he should go kill these apostles.

Meanwhile, the strong group of Dark Apostles had already gotten rid of the witch warriors' attack, making their way to the holy land.

Therefore, the gene-mutated Neptune and the group of Dark Apostles met on the field.

Neptune howled and charged towards those Dark Apostles, and those Dark Apostles had not only found Neptune, they had found Han too. His smell was familiar to those, and Han's gene beast troops had the same goal, so being discovered was a sure thing.

There were three fighting powers grouped on the field. One was Neptune. Although he was on his own, he had strong powers, like a reborn devil. The other was the Dark Apostles troop. They had close connections, each member in the troop had strength above the warlord level. They were a powerful army.

Then there was Han. He was on his own too, but he was being surrounded by the loyal genetic beast army. He had the same fighting power as a powerful army!

The moment the three fighting powers collided, all hell broke loose!

The group of Dark Apostles suddenly separated into two groups. Twelve apostles charged towards Neptune and the remaining four apostles grouped into a diamond shaped formation, closing in towards Han.

In fact, those apostles were being careless. The digital data they had was out-dated in which Neptune had not undergone gene mutation and Han had not used the third Dark Crystal.

Unfortunately the situation now was that Neptune was stronger, as well as Han!

Facing these two strong enemies, those apostles wanted to defeat them at the same time. No doubt this was the most foolish plan.

Swish~

Han let out a long breath of air, holding tightly to the Star-Strangling Boa that was in his hand.

No doubt, in any case, today Han was going to die peacefully, facing so many enemies. Han was in a really bad situation.

But does it matter?

Cowards don't take the path of demon but madness can! Like devil's restless madness! Madness on treating each fight as the final fight!

"Region of Void, open!"

Han released his unreasonable superpower, charging towards those four apostles, with a murderous spirit flourishing and a furious attitude!

Swish~

Han's gene beast army followed their master's move. They don't know what was fear, they only knew they had to be loyal. Whatever Han did, even if it takes their lives, they will gladly give up on their own lives to follow.

Those Apostles were startled.

Han was already different from what they used to know from their intelligence reports. Han had become aggressive because of the Path of Demon. The ancient saying from China on Earth "If others don't violate me, I won't violate them" was forgotten by Han already.

The Han now only believes in one thing, everybody in this world can be killed!

Enemies, kill!

Foe, kill!

Even the ones that were only unpleasant to Han's eye, can be killed too!

The so-called Path of Demon was the way to kill!

Kill everyone in this world, then you can be the devil!

"This is for frightening my horse!"

"This is for Ms.White!"

"This is for the missing Lesa and Riley brothers!"

"This is for the whole troop of the expeditionary team which is dead!"

"Pay with your lives for all these debts!"

Before, the apostles thought they could defeat and kill Han by sending four people out, but when they fought with Han, the situation changed.

Han's Star-strangling Boa was hacking faster and faster, fiercer and fiercer, annihilating the six realms. Han was already in the Path of Demon. He gave full scope to this legendary attack, suppressing those four apostles, making them retreat.

The devilish property and aggression, as well as the Path of Demon being added together had become a ghoulish power!

Only after the Path of Demon was reached, then it will give full play to devil's aggression. This is what Han was experiencing. Plus the void end can destroy the enemies' superpower. Han was leading the fight at his own pace, which turned out to be a reasonable thing.

Don't forget, Han still had his genetic beast army. This force cannot be overseen. Ghost claw，Demon claw，Silver fox，five extraordinary species of animals that were proficient in close-body combat moved together. As for the two seven-eye Starry Spider, they were using their full strength to make one gigantic sized army of one eyed Starry Spiders.

Soon, the Dark Apostles could not take Han anymore. A mad Han was already trouble, and there were so many snaky gene beasts. A careless move will allow animals like silver fox to tear a part of their bodies off.

Fighting with Han made them face huge psychological pressure, a devil that only knew how to attack and not withdraw, with a bunch of devils that were catty, or violent, or can make a hole on the floor, this situation was totally a picture of a bunch of devils dancing in a mess!

On the other side, the Dark Apostles were not in a favourable situation.

The gene-mutated Neptune seemed like he had a more devilish character than Han. The illusions, in which he was skilled in, disappeared and in its place was absolute violence!

Neptune had transformed totally. He was just like a blood-thirsty barbarian, using his fists to kill his enemies. Even more than twenty dark Apostles were not enough to kill this mutated Neptune.

The apostles could not chase after Neptune's speed.

The apostles' attack could not be compared with Neptune's tactics.

Even when the apostles used their full strength to attack him, Neptune's moves were nimble.

The Neptune before that gave full scope to illusion now became a devil combat king!

This bloody gene-mutation had not only given Neptune strength, but also changed his personality, like he had eaten a part of his own powerful superpower, and converted it into astonishing body strength.

Don't forget, there was still the Dark Brain.

The staff that had the Dark Brain mounted on top was in Neptune's hand, which had a decisive effect.

Han found out by observing during the gap between the fights that although Neptune fought fiercely, his IQ seemingly low like a barbarian, the truth was not as it appeared.

Every move that Neptune made was targeted to the weakness of the apostles, attacking the thinness and weakness places of their formation.

Looks like the Dark Brain crystal had increased Neptune's IQ by a large margin. He became more cunning and varied, hiding under the fierce and cruel aura of killing. This is the reason those fishy apostles oversaw Neptune's targeted attack.

Briefly, Neptune's move had been calculated by the brain accurately before every attack.

Sqwelp~

Without any accident, Han used the Star-Strangling Boa to cut open the last living apostle's shoulder. The Han now who had the devilish characteristics was different from before. He possessed so many "cards" in his hands and multiple complex attacks, apostles could not handle Han anymore.

Crack~

Without any accident too, Neptune tore apart the last apostle's chest with his bare hands. His fingers penetrated between the third and the fourth rib, arms rising to seventeen degrees, and when he tilted with a little strength, the apostle was split!

Every move of his was like it was calculated accurately by a perfect computer. The gene-mutation in addition to the Dark Brain had turned Neptune into not only a devil but also a killing machine that had a super IQ.

Swish~

Almost both at the same time, Han and Neptune looked at each other, both eyes with devilish gazes that shot out intense sparks.

Han had demonic characteristics, yet Neptune was already a devil.

Chapter 285: Undefeatable Foe

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

The moment Han and Neptune saw one another, they understood that this fight could not be avoided as both warriors were demonic in nature and such warriors would never yield to others.

Aroo~

Neptune charged at Han like a maniac, just as Han did the same.

At 10km, that should be on the edge and range of Han's Region of Void，but it did not affect Neptune in the slightest. He still roared ever so loudly, gaining speed all the same.

Faced with this scenario, Han began to understand, the DNA mutation had already changed Neptune from an illusionary esper to a purely strength classed esper. In his previous battle, he also used raw strength to win. Even that scary dark apostle was not much of an opponent against Neptune's might.

It didn't matter how strong the Void End was, it will still not affect a strength classed warrior as the strength classed never had any luxurious superpowers. They simply surpassed others in terms of muscular density and strength.

Han stopped his Void zone.

It'll be a match of raw strength!

Swish~

Han twiddled with the Star Strangling Boa in his hand, The Triple-edged blade's odd yet sharp blades was like a light beam, radiating!

"Path of Demon!"

Until the gap was closed, the blade was covered in a thick cloud that gushed outwards, enveloping Han in this magical dark mist.

Dun~

The next moment, Han's Star Strangling Boa and Neptune's staff had collided. Although both were physically strong, he was pushed back quite a bit and judging from the distance, Han seemed to have taken quite the damage.

Han's eyes started to straighten because he could feel a pain in his chest. The frenzied Neptune did not even care whether his staff was sturdy enough, nor about the Brain of Darkness he had attached to it.

But it mattered to Han a lot!

To Han, the Brain of Darkness was valuable as it could be used to replenish a person's own dark energy. If he could obtain this exotic crystal, his dark powers would skyrocket and become much stronger and allow him to become the elusive demonic esper.

The dark crystal could also supplement Han, as with the help of it, Han could become a warlord!

A warlord!

Once Han became a warlord, he could create a void zone that could span a hundred kilometers. Within its area, it can take away all superpowers. A realm of unlimited darkness. It was a terrifying power!

Never in history had a Dark Void esper achieve the status of warlord and Han would become the first one!

It was just that such an attitude was of no help towards the fight. Even if Han felt worried, his demonic abilities would not replenish. He was not willing to clash his Star-Strangling Boa with Neptune's staff as in doing so, there was a chance of damaging the Brain of Darkness, and that would be heartbreaking.

What to do?

Of course, the most obvious solution would be to use a different way of thinking and start over!

Using Han's most famous multiple combination attack technique!

"Flying fire!"

Han released a swarm of bugs that could explode that guided the assault together with Demon Claw and the others.

In reality these flying insects are far weaker than Thunder Fire's exploding type bug. It was just that Hans had no other choice. Whether it was the thunder fire or Sky King Vine, these originated from a distant Oblivion Realm and were only made possible as both creators were masters of their arts. One a bug specialist and the other a plant specialist.

Han had actually never met the creator of thunder fire and sky king vine. The three addicts assisted Han in obtaining this pair of excellent weapons and right now Han already expended both thunder fire and sky king vine, and his new stocks had not yet arrived. As such, he only had these few flying fires on hand, as to sky king vine or bloody-thirsty sky vine, these types of plant based weapons, Han didn't even have the seed for it.

The battle was hard fought from the start. When the flying fire exploded, Ghost Claw and the others all charged ahead, serving as distractions while also attacking en masse. In theory, this was more than ferocious enough but Neptune relied on his superhuman judgment and reaction speeds and even managed to block Han's combined efforts!

Demon Claw's claws to the naked eye seemed as though they were going to pierce through Neptune's body. His shadow suddenly shortened, pinching his fingers together, flicked instantly and deflected Demon Claw's claws.

Then there was also the dense crowd of one-eyed Starry Spiders, opening their mouths and pouncing towards Neptune to only be blocked one by one or kicked away.

These were very scary reflexes! A speed that normal people could not comprehend!

The current Neptune could be described in three words.

Fast!

Accurate!

Ruthless!

Oh God, the generational Sky King, became a martial artist striding for victory.

There were very few people who could become warlords with the use of strength alone. Although once a strength user reaches the realm of warlord, without a doubt they were the strongest of them all!

The reason being a normal power such as raw strength, when it reaches a certain level, the power will grow exponentially.

A powerful foe who can throw 1000 punches per second, change his steps 1000 times in a second, there was no chance of victory against them!

Looking at Neptune, his fighting prowess was much stronger than a strength class warlord. He was like a demon, a beast wearing the skin of a human, and using his animalistic instincts, he was more than a match against Han and Han's genetic beast army. Evenly matched, no matter how chaotic the situation, on the receiving end of a multitude of attacks, Neptune relied on his instincts to endure them all!

Boom~

Han vs. Neptune, the first round had concluded.

Neptune's body was smoking white steam because of the excessive movement speed it led to the evaporation of the water molecules in the air.

Han and his genetic beast army were pressured to the outer ring, even though they had the advantage in numbers, it was obvious that an advantage in numbers could not beat a god like opponent!

A multitude of one-eyed Starry Spiders died, scattered everywhere and fell to the ground, bodies pierced, covered the ground scattered in black.

This was the first time, the two Seven-eyed Starry Spiders produced an army of spiders slower than the enemy could eradicate.

Also these Seven-eyed Starry Spiders did not die in vain, as they traded their lives for the safety of Han and Demon Claw. If they did not have the advantage in numbers while also spreading Neptune's strength, the ones who would have fallen would surely have been them.

Silver Fox jumped in the grass frenziedly, the pain almost unbearable. His left shoulder was hit by Neptune's attack, his tiny claws already broken to the point that he couldn't put any weight on it. Ghost Claw, Demon Claw these two beasts were in no better shape, it was just that they were tougher and wouldn't retreat because of feeling pain. In reality, they sustained heavy injuries as well.

Receiving such an impact, Han's demonic traits shrank by more than half. Involuntarily starting to think about this battle from a human's perspective, logic was starting to coming back for him.

Obviously, the current Neptune had no superpowers. His illusions posed no threat, the only threat being his killing machine like movements!

It was even something that Han could never compare to with it's perfection. No matter which direction the attack came from, no matter the method of attack, or the degree in strength, Neptune could still rely on his own reflexes and lightning speed techniques to endure them all!

It was as though Han was up against the strongest and fastest demon! And this demon's intelligence was of the highest tier! No matter how uneven the odds, he would still not step out of formation, the might of his cognition allowed him to make the most precise and fastest analysis!

Did this wisdom belong to Neptune?

No~

Han shook his head, Neptune was like a wild animal, his eyes filled with killing intent.

If it was like that, then could this adaptability and cognitive prowess stem from the Brain of Darkness!?

Neptune was not thinking at all, it was that dark crystal doing all the thinking for him!

A warrior of immense power, and a dark brain even faster than a supercomputer combined together, what kind of idea was this?

Swish~

The moment after Neptune blocked Han's three axes, he counterattacked immediately, overturning the tables! He was about to pressure Han into a corner!

"To fight against his attack!"

Han grew up learning forbidden demonic arts. In his mind, retreat was never an option!

Boom~

Too bad by the time Han realized he should have done that, he was sent flying after receiving a devastating blow from Neptune!

This was the first-time Han lost in martial arts!

And right now, in a brief moment, Neptune broke free of Han's combat style of the Path of the Void, because after Neptune acquired the power of the Brain of Darkness, his movements were faster than Han's and were even more astounding than his!

Bloork~

Abruptly, Han coughed out fresh blood, his chest screaming in pain. It was as though someone hammered him with all their might.

Stealing other people's superpowers, forcing others to fight against him and then using his immense magic and martial arts to decimate stronger foes.

This was Han's way of fighting and yet he was subjugated by the same technique and blown away!

Ghost Claw and Demon Claw, Silver Fox, they were all on the brink of panicking. It was not that they had never seen strong opponents, it was just that they never faced an opponent that could blow Han away in one hit!

Silver Fox dragged his broken claws and made his way towards Han, but was suddenly stopped by the lifting up of a big hand.

It was Han.

"I'm not dead yet!" said Han with fresh blood around his mouth.

He stood up, eyes still bright, his state of mind changed ever so slightly. It seemed that that impact brought forth new strength from the depths of his Han's heart.

The frenzied Han, the sinister Han, the sneaky Han, the Han who used a combination of attacks to push back his foes. In all these years, Han gained many titles and learned a variety of methods, he loved tormenting his enemies in many different ways.

Han was not like this in the beginning, he kept growing, kept changing, but some qualities will never change.

In the end, Han was still that same old stubborn Han!

Unwilling to admit defeat and the stronger the foe, the stronger he'd become!

Chapter 286: Who's Tougher!

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

What got Han to where he was at today was talent, luck, and most importantly, the cockroach spirit of never giving up to death! The faith that Han ultimately believed in was that soldiers can be killed in combat, but they must not be scared to death!

So Han stood up, his eyes became sharper, and his fighting spirit became stronger.

"Again!"

Han shouted and his eyes turned red. He wiped the blood off the side of his mouth, as if he was never struck down before. He started waving his Star-Strangling Boa and charged towards the already mutated Fantasy Neptune.

What a magical genetic mutation.

Han had countless fantasies before. If the one that went through genetic mutation was himself, then how wonderful would that be… Besides having Void End, if he could get Ke Lake's flight ability, how awesome would it be to just soar across the sky.

However, reality was always harsh. Han still only has that power to cancel other people's ability but doesn't have any fancy power himself, but his opponent King Fantasy Neptune became an unbeatably powerful warrior.

King Fantasy Neptune also began moving. He charged towards Han with a faster speed and stronger power. His neural reflex was faster than Han, and even his intelligence was gifted by the miraculous dark crystal.

To some extent, King Fantasy Neptune after genetic mutation was almost close to the degree of a perfect fighter. He almost had no weakness. Everything Han was proud for before, now all seemed like child's play in comparison to him, including Han's Path of Demon.

Towards the Path of Demon, Han still had some doubts at heart, because he didn't believe in gods or demons at all.

Han didn't believe that gods were eternally great, glorious and righteous. Who didn't have any darkness inside their hearts? Those people that always stressed how great of a god they were, were more likely to be liars.

Han also doesn't believe that demons were always devoid of conscience and wanted to Destroy the world. Those that became hateful must have their reasons, and besides, even demons, how could they still not show the slightest emotion towards their own family?

Maybe 9527's understanding of Han was the most correct. Han's first and ultimate belief is actually a kind of path of Yao. Towards friends, families, Han's the best and the most trusted. Towards the enemies, Han was the most insidious and cunning.

The most distinguishing characteristic of the Path of Yao was its changeability, and yet Han was able to vividly show this quality to an extreme extent. Enemies hate him, brothers love him, there was a different Han in everyone's eyes.

It's just that unfortunately, Han's understanding to the Six Paths of Void was just barely grasping the Path of Demon and he had yet to activate the ultimate Path of Yao, so in terms of techniques, Han couldn't reach the peak state.

After battling for merely a few seconds with King Fantasy Neptune, Han was sent flying again.

He couldn't help but admit that King Fantasy Neptune was way too powerful now. He was no longer an alien, but more like a precisely killing machine. He used his left arm and blocked Demon Claw's attack, and with a sudden lift of his elbow, he sent Demon Claw flying away.

Immediately after, he drew an arc on the ground with his right foot and attacked Ghost Claw's vulnerable lower half and made it almost lose its balance.

Then, his pace went through incredible frequency change, his body suddenly lowered and then appeared behind Han's back. With a hard push with just one hand, he dissembled Han's Void movement and Path of Demon.

One must know, Fantasy Neptune only took a few milliseconds to do this. The closest Han's Path of Demon has gotten was only a few millimeters away from Fantasy Neptune's head yet he still managed to dodge it from an angle that Han could not comprehend at all and returned with a fatal blow.

The high technical level was completely the same state of god!

Gengci~

Even with the double protection of armor and energy coating, Han still felt that his spine was broken, extremely painful.

Not only was the Fantasy Neptune's technique really pro, his strength was also too powerful. What seemed like a light palm-hit onto Han's body felt like a giant smashed him with a hammer!

Shua~

Han clenched his teeth, held back the suffocating pain as his body flipped in the air, and managed to finally land.

"Come on!"

Han shouted, and charged again!

The so-called fighting will was the spirit of not backing off even when one was half dead!

Pain, failure, these were all excuses of the weak!

The true unyielding soul was crazy, who didn't care about cost and result!

Yet, Han's fighting will didn't make any changes in the situation, the gap in strength was still an irreparable gap. King Fantasy Neptune was indeed too strong, and he has overpowered Han in all aspects.

Shua~

Han was sent flying out of the battlefield again, maintaining a steady posture with one hand pressing onto the ground.

Only after a few rounds, Han was already exhausted.

He gritted his teeth, heavily swallowed a spittle and began his habitual thinking.

Does Fantasy Neptune's power really come from genetic mutation or the Brain of Darkness's control over him?

On the surface, the increase in power seems to originate from genetic mutation. Neptune's control, power, and reflex all reached an unsurpassable degree.

But Han also felt, maybe he should start from the Brain of Darkness. An enemy that's just powerful is not completely impossible to deal with, but what's terrifying is that this powerful enemy also has incredible intelligence.

Kaching~

Han decisively withdrew his Star-Strangling Boa and placed this triple-edge blade on his back. There's no weapon in his hand, just the Gloves of Darkness.

However, having and not having an Ares-class weapon by one's side is completely different. Han was clearly at a disadvantage, yet he still chose to put away his weapon? Is he crazy? With the powerful capabilities of the present King Fantasy Neptune, it's impossible for Han to be his match.

"Again!"

Relying on the support of a powerful will, Han charged towards Fantasy Neptune again. This time, he carried no weapon!

Shua~

Upon receiving Han's signal, Demon Claw and the others all charged up at the same time. Thanks to these loyal companions that attracted fire for Han, if it wasn't for him but an one-on-one, Han would've probably lost a long time ago.

King Fantasy Neptune moved with exquisite calculations, he dodged the attacks the attacks of the genetic beasts. Right now, all of his attention was focused on Han. After not being able to kill Han after a few rounds of attacks, Fantasy Neptune was really frustrated as well, so he decided to ignore the genetic beast army first and finish Han once and for all.

The two of them both moved at an incredible speed uncapturable by the naked eye, and King Fantasy Neptune was faster. He easily dodged all the beasts and formed an one-on-one situation with Han.

Boom~

King Fantasy Neptune's waved both arms, right hand holding the staff and left fist both smashed towards Han's shoulder.

With the Dark Brain's calculation, Fantasy Neptune was sure that Han would dodge. He would dodge for sure, because Han's power was a lot weaker than King Fantasy Neptune's.

Both attacks would arrive at once, no matter how Han dodged, he would at least receive one critical hit. With Han's current condition, one more critical hit may very likely be fatal!

Have to say, the Dark Brain was extraordinarily powerful. It could seize the enemy's weakness and predict their next move.

It's just that this time, the Dark Brain calculated wrong.

Han didn't dodge. He also attacked with both fists and directly fought back against Fantasy Neptune.

And what's more surprising was that Han also moved his head back a bit and focused some power on his own neck.

Rumbled~

Han's fists and Fantasy Neptune's fists clashed and produced a violent shock.

Originally Han would try to avoid damaging the Dark Brain in battle, because that's something he really want to take possession of.

But this time, Han changed his strategy. He used his left fist and directly attack the top of the staff, which was also where the Dark Brain was located.

Kacha~

The Dark Brain was shattered immediately, and at the same time, a sound of fracture also came from Han's left hand. He intended to destroy the Dark Brain's powerful computing power even at the cost of one fist.

However, destroying the Dark Brain was only the first step. Immediately after, Han's slightly lifted head suddenly smashed down like a hammer!

Head on head!

It's definitely not some fancy technique, but a move during street fights that sees who's tougher and braver!

Boom~

Fantasy Neptune never even expected it in his dream that Han would headbutt him, and in addition, the Dark Brain shattering made him lost his judgement for an instant, so his whole body was directly sent flying!

Han did it!

If the enemies cannot be defeated with conventional means, then he will just knock him down with unconventional techniques!

Whew~

Such strategy of killing a thousand enemies at the cost of 800 of own troops in fact also pushed Han to the verge of collapsing, but with the last strain of consciousness, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath, breathing in those shattered Dark Brain crystal pieces into his lung, taking possession of it.

Chapter 287: Aurora Light Ascension of Warlords

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

King Neptune finally discovered Han's intentions. Han relied on sacrifice and brute force to steal the Brain of Darkness from him.

The cost was grievous.

Han's cost was extremely grievous.

Not only did Han's left arm get destroyed, there was a big bump on his head, and he also lost consciousness after absorbing the Brain of Darkness, hitting the ground hard as he fell.

Aroof~

Silver Fox, Ghost Claw, Demon Claw, Han's three most loyal genetic beasts were going insane!

Han was not some super powerful warrior, but Han had strategies. Even if the enemy was much stronger, he had never as hard as he did today. He actually fainted on the battleground!

This was all King Neptune's fault!

The gene beasts were loyal, and simple minded. As they witnessed Han fall to the ground, they were filled with hatred for King Neptune, with their bloody eyes.

As for the five-numbered genetic fusion beats and the two Seven-eyed Starry Spiders, although they were also very loyal, they did not have much feelings towards Han. They were only loyal to Han because he secretly implanted puppet devices in their bodies.

Han's gene beast army also took severe casualties. Silver Fox, Ghost Claw, and Demon Claw, all walked like a cripple.

But Demon Claw and the others didn't care, King Neptune hurt their master, he must pay the price!

Hua~

The gene beast army turned into an insane state never seen before, starting to mob King Neptune.

Come to think of it, although Han had sacrificed a lot, but he did manage to acquire the Brain of Darkness. This was a big threat to Neptune.

King Neptune was only having a headache. Before this, he was controlled by the Brain of Darkness, now that it lost control, and he gained freedom, he was not used to it.

The Brain of Darkness was like a super combat computer, controlling King Neptune's every movement, every tactic. Now that he had lost this ability to calculate, it was difficult for King Neptune to defend against the Ghost Claw and their siege, only relying on his warrior's instinct to combat the intensive attacks.

From the start of battle, King Neptune had not been in a worse situation, but at this crucial moment, Han had fainted. If he was still sober, and could control his genetic beast army, the results would not be different.

Nobody knew what type of suffering the unconscious Han was enduring.

This type of suffering does not come from wounds. His broken left arm could heal, the bump on his head will go away, these were not the issue. The real issue was the impact on Han spiritually.

This was not the first time that Han had injected black crystals into his body. The last three times, it only gave Han a boost in power. As the dark energy was taking over, Han was left in pain. He must take precautions. Taking the dark energy bit by bit making it his own, slowly absorbing the energy.

After the dark energy entered Han's body, it tried to take over Han's cognition, heading towards his brain.

Faintly Han felt a power source, trying to takeover his billions of brain cells, and zero degree region. There was a crazy voice, telling Han to stop resisting, to accept thinking from the darkness.

How is this possible!

Han was known for his dauntlessness. Not only did he persevere and fight to the end, it also meant that he will never give up! Not even if he dies!

Pht~

As the Brain of Darkness' energy approached deeper, Han could now see a clearer image. He saw a dark shadow, approaching from the blistering cold, wearing a shabby coat, eyes dark and deep, creating a gloomy atmosphere as he approached.

"Is this the Dark King?"

Han was suddenly shocked. He could feel the power within that dark shadow.

According to all legends, no one had ever talked about the Dark King's appearance. It was different to every individual. The only similarity was that the Dark King was very powerful. There was not a single human in the Milky Way galaxy. Even all the warlords combined, would still be too weak for him.

In the end, this unprecedented Dark King, did not die in the hands of human, but was killed in a cruel black hole.

The dark shadow with a shabby coat stopped in front of Han. His dark eyes stared at Han, and he used a hoarse and desolate voice and asked, "You want to gain my powers?"

"Yes." Han replied.

"You will regret it." The dark shadow said.

Han with a smile, "No, I never regretted anything I have done. Why regret about the past, when you can look towards the future."

Pff~

The dark shadow sneered, turning around, his back towards Han, walking away.

"Trust me, you will regret it." The desolate voice resonated.

At this moment, the witch's holy realm had been scorched down to the ground.

Ghost Claw, Demon Claw, and the Silver Fox, they were shaking. Although they had tried their best to protect Han, but King Neptune eventually overpowered them.

The lucky thing was after losing the Brain of Darkness, King Neptune no longer calculated with precision. He started attacking violently like a beast. Power, speed, reaction, all three areas decreased to a certain extent. Han's strategy was successful, the stealing of the Brain of Darkness was super effective towards King Neptune.

Now, without the Brain of Darkness, King Neptune had become an insane, wild beast.

But, Ghost Claw, Demon Claw, Silver Fox, weren't they all beasts!?

Without Han's presence, Ghost Claw and the others have endured King Neptune's attack. Although the cost was drastic, but they still managed to endure. They did not let King Neptune hurt their unconscious master Han.

"Die all of you die" King Neptune howled with a deep voice. It seemed like the reversed effect from the Brain of Darkness was not necessarily good for him. As he got stronger, he also lost himself.

Although the Brain of Darkness no longer controlled King Neptune, King Neptune's consciousness still hasn't recovered.

Demon Claw slowly crawled its way towards King Neptune. As the number one beast under Han, Demon Claw was the strongest, and was also injured most severely.

This unintelligent being, strong as a rock, as long as it still breathed, he will not give up.

The clever Silver Fox was feeling hopeless at this moment. With their powers, it could only hold off King Neptune for a while, but could not stop him forever. Even though he lost the Brain of Darkness, King Neptune was still an enemy with immense power. Due to being in combat for extensive amounts of time, the two Seven-eyed Starry spiders were exhausted. The genetic beast army no long had the advantage of out numbering their enemy.

Suddenly~

Demon Claw stopped crawling and turned his head back dumbfounded.

Silver Fox, Ghost Claw also turned their head in amusement, seeing an aurora ascending into the sky.

This aurora light was forged by power. After an esper exceeded a certain limit, the zero-degree brain region will resonant rapidly, causing this unique abnormal phenomenon.

A super powered warrior, with enough hard work, and if lucky enough, will witness the aurora light ascending once in a life time. It means that a person has finally surpassed nature, broken free from the chain of genes, evolutionary, the sign of advancing towards the god level.

Its full name was the Aurora Light Ascension of Warlords!

Aurora Light Ascension of Warlords only appeared for a moment. Where the aurora disappeared, a man stood up. He let out a deep breath, as if waking up from a dream. He had an odd weapon in his hand, with a triple-edged blade and a tip divided into there.

It was Han.

After absorbing power from the Brain of Darkness, Han's dream has come true and surpassed the warlord level that he always dreamed of!

Warlord Han, stood up once again!

Swish~

With a broken left arm, Han used his right arm and picked up the Star-strangling Boa and pointed its blade towards the monstrous King Neptune, with coldness and blood thirst.

"You guy have done well, now, leave the rest to me." Han's lips slight moved up, using a voice of confidence and said to his loyal army.

Chapter 288: Death and the number zero apostle

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Although the aurora light had already disappeared, there was still a magical smell that came off of Han's body.

Yes, this was a magical smell, because Han had entered the warlord level through a twisted path. As a warrior, Han started with forbidden skills. This was very unusual. As he entered the warlord level today, he relied on dark energy.

So when Han entered the warlord level and the phoenix ascended into the sky, he looked quite different from the other super powered warriors as they entered the warlord level.

The Star-Strangling Boa stood up once again. Han's smile had a demonic edge. He called off Ghost Claw and the others, stepping closer towards King Neptune himself.

9257 was right, entering the warlord level was very important for a warrior. Han felt that every cell in his body was alive with energy. Even his broken left arm was starting to itch. That was the sign of a fracture's healing process being accelerated.

Han was happy that he chose the right goal from the beginning. Super powered warriors did not have any shortcuts, constantly making oneself stronger. That was the only path.

As a warrior, if one day one's power stopped growing and they no longer gained anymore levels, it meant that he was one step closer to death.

The smile on Han's face made King Neptune very angry. He was no longer being controlled by the Brain of Darkness at this moment, releasing the evilness in his heart, he growled like a beast, then rushed towards Han holding the remains of the staff.

Swish~

Demon Claw, Silver Fox, all of them took in a cold breath. King Neptune was still powerful, with shocking speed, and shocking strength, shocking reflexes, the three areas to evaluate a warrior, King Neptune surpassed Han in all areas even after reaching the warlord level.

Han was still very calm. As they got closer together, King Neptune raised his staff. Han suddenly used force from his waist, bending his entire body twisted like a Machete, not pleasantly looking, but definitely an odd posture as he exceeded the body's limit and performed the Half-Moon Dodge!

Although Han's agility and reflexes were lower than King Neptune's, but the Half-Moon Dodge was spectacular. The space created in between his body was just enough to avoid King Neptune's attack.

After, his crescent shaped body suddenly reflected! Bursting upwards!

Right after was Han with the triple-edged blade in his hands for the counterattack!

Bamf~

The blade accurately sliced through King Neptune's wrist. From an extraordinary angle, it cut off all the nerves that controlled King Neptune's hand movements. King Neptune's right hand lost control right instantly, releasing the golden staff from his hands!

The first time!

Until now, this was the first time that Han managed to hit King Neptune!

It was not relying on reflexes, but it was by precise calculations!

Without a doubt, the Brain of Darkness' precise calculations abilities had been transferred onto Han!

Now was not the matter of King Neptune trying to outsmart Han, but Han calculating his moves to beat King Neptune!

The Brain of Darkness, it was the most unique item left by the Dark King. Not only does it give Han an increase in power, but it also improved Han's cognitive abilities!

This increase in intelligence was scary.

First was the combat style of the Path of Void. It was already a strange nature decent, after improving the brain calculation speeds, its powers grew exponentially!

Han's movement became more unpredictable, more exaggerated, more complicated.

Also, it became more useful in battle. By dodging with a strange posture, and sliding into a strange posture to counterattack, it left the enemy very hard to defend against!

Aroof~

King Neptune lost his staff and let out a scream of madness.

From the other perspective, as this warrior exceeded the limit of its body. After losing his wisdom, he was starting to show his weaknesses. Han was right, power and wisdom were both scary, but overall, intelligence was more critical than brute force.

A simple-minded warrior with a fully developed body, regardless how strong he is, there was still a way to defeat him if you find the right way.

But a warrior with strength and an even more advanced brain was almost perfect! Because he was always one step ahead of his enemy. Intelligence with a powerful body can achieve the effect of 11 is greater than 2!

"Die! Die!"

King Neptune once again rushed towards Han.

"Path of Demon!"

Han used the Path of Demon to combat King Neptune's attack!

Boom~

A black beam of light exploded. At the moment when Han approached King Neptune, he suddenly turned, putting the Star-Strangling Boa on his back, and as his body went over King Neptune, he used a Scorpion-tail style attack!

Precise calculations, incredible balance, Han was starting to implant powers into his Path of Void.

In the past, Han's abilities were not very powerful, and lacked flexibility. Now that he had extraordinary computational powers, can react in which seemed to be impossible high speed combat and perform his abilities!

High speed combat was just like a jet flying at high speeds. To turn or change state was a very difficult and dangerous thing to do. Without precise calculations and the perfect timing, it was impossible to do.

Han was able to do so because his brain was calculating every second, thinking, constructing attack models in his mind, predicting different combat strategies!

Pssss~

The Scorpion-tail style attack allowed Han's Ares-class Star Strangling Boa to slice King Neptune's waist. He shockingly touched his waist and discovered that it was filled with blood, from his waist to his spine. Han had cut a bloody wound on him!

"Again!"

"Path of the Demon"

Boom!

"Path of the Demon!"

Boom!

"Path of the Demon!"

To take your life when you are weak!

As it worked the first time, Han was attacking with all his power!

The tides have turned!

Every time when Han used the Path of Void to get by King Neptune, he would use the triple-edged blade to leave a fresh wound!

Han's attacks were filled with void but at the same time not losing his wisdom, his attacks could break through anything!

Attacks can never be countered if one was fast enough.

Attacks can never be countered if one was intelligent enough.

Han's six paths of the Void, could be described as demonic, sharp, and intelligent. The combination of these 3 elements!

This was the Demon's attack. It was filled with demonic spirit, radiating with intelligent and agile attacks!

"This was what you took from me, and now I want it returned 10 fold!"

"If you cannot repay it, then you will have to pay with your life!"

Han was very stubborn and did not easily forgive others.

One slice after another, Han treated King Neptune like an apple, slicing him with his blade.

Han's advantage had slowly built up, but in the end, it turned into a critical blow. The blade entered King Neptune's neck with a slight movement.

Crack~

King Neptune of the witches was dead!

As Han killed King Neptune with his last slice, the witch's holy realm was filled with emptiness. There was only one person, witnessing the death of King Neptune, with a strange smile on his face.

He was not a witch, but a dark apostle. To him, the death of King Neptune was not important, the death of his 16 buddies was also not important. What's important is that he found what he was looking for.

Opening the long-range communication device, the person at the end was surprised and asked, "Number 2, why are you using the central line of the witches?"

"It was alright. King Neptune was dead, the witches are in chaos. I am the only one in the central control room, no one will notice me using the witches communication channel."

"I guess so, our people died. King Neptune also died, the witches will not let Han go. Although we didn't get the Brain of Darkness, witnessing Han being killed by the witches is also a satisfying result."

"No, I plan to stop that from happening."

"Why intervene?"

"Because Han cannot die."

"Why can't Han die."

"Because Han has the power to be a human weapon."

"But Han is still our enemy in the end."

"That's right, I did not say that he was not our enemy, but number 1, you have to remember, Han has already acquired 4 of the items from the Dark King. More importantly, he acquired the Brain of Darkness today, so we can be certain, Han had already destroyed our plan of retrieving human weapons."

"That is right, so what?"

"So I am thinking, not only does Han have to live, but we also need his help to obtain the other 3 crystals."

"By then, Han will become even more powerful, having complete dark energy."

"Not bad, the result would mean that Han inherited the power of the human weapon, but we can wait until then and kill him!"

"So you are saying, purposely let Han gain complete dark energy, and then we kill him. From his body, we can take back the human weapon."

"That is what I am thinking."

"But you have to know, we originally had 99 brothers. Including the loss today and the past, we can at max call another 81 brothers. After Han gains complete dark energy, even if all our brothers fought him at the same time, we still might not be powerful enough."

"I know, that is why we need to activate number zero."

"Number zero? Zero and the apostles are different, he is not loyal to god."

"But isn't number zero very powerful? He is the evolutionary version of us apostles. Our master used all the resources, and only managed to build a number zero. Judging by Han's powers now and what he will become, number zero is the only one that can defeat him."

"Number 2, Zero was created based on our master's blueprints."

"I know."

"He has transplanted master's third eye."

"I am also aware, but number 1, our mission has failed, if we do not activate number zero, we might not even have a little chance. But activating zero, he might bring disaster, he might betray us, but he might also be our only hope, to complete this glorious mission given by our masters."

"Alright, number 2, you convinced me. I agree to activate number zero, but at the same time, you stay with the witches. Make sure Han will live, also all apostles need to evacuate the Milky Way galaxy immediately, to prepare for number zero's arrival, after all he has the third eye."

"Understood, Han will not die on witch grounds, because King Neptune is already dead. Witches' highest commander is now the elder witches, I can control the elders, I successfully cloned the puppet technique for Emperor Sha."

"So you had a plan all along, very good. You are in charge of things on witch's ground, I will be preparing for number zero's activation, that's all for now."

Chapter 289: Three Idiots' Enemies Appeared!

Translator: Editor:

Han left the witches' territories effortlessly. Rumors say that this was the Great Witch Conference's decision. They thought that Han had only killed the crazy King Neptune, and not the original Witches' mental leader. If Han didn't kill King Neptune, the Witch Conference will have done so.

Swish~

Han went back to Star City by taking the Particle Module.

Just reaching the dark net again, Han received a lot of emails. During the time he was not around, the three addicts and Ke Lake had already arrived successfully. Especially Ke Lake, he had gone up to the level of warlord!

Good things come in pairs. There were two warlords on this tiny Earth now!

Other than that, WeiWei and Jian Jia have emailed Han too. He was happy and simply suggested a gathering, calling all the people he knew to come join.

Everyone responded heartily to Han's idea. Therefore, the night when Han returned to Star city, in the large-scaled Deceitful Star Club within the city, Han saw a lot of his old friends.

Han brought Ye Weiwei along. Honestly, he took particularly good care of this girl, because of her superpower was uncontrollable and could randomly harm others. If Han was not going to pick her up, Ye Weiwei would wear the slightly-too-simple and sexy black leather jacket to the gathering again.

Han believes that every single girl should have the right to wear dresses, a right to dress themselves up beautifully.

Maybe it's out of compassion, as long as Han had time, he would always take better care of Ye Weiwei. Also, Han's attitude would improve a lot after seeing Ye Weiwei in her dress with a smile to her face and this was compensation enough.

"Han, wait for me!"

When Han arrived at Ye Weiwei's house, this lady climbed halfway out of the window and waved frantically at Han. What followed were the thumping footsteps of a person rushing downstairs, Ye Weiwei walked hurriedly towards Han's side, not only did she wear a dress tonight but also high heels and looked slightly unnatural when walking.

"Let's go." Han scanned Ye Weiwei briefly, while smiling said, "Tonight you have to stick close to me, because right now the size of my extinction zone is slightly big, so you cannot open it randomly, otherwise someone will beat me up painfully."

Han spoke the truth. Right now, he was a dark void esper at the warlord level, able to control an impressive radius of a hundred kilometers!

The result of randomly opening the extinction territory was very bad. There were so many training grounds in the city, so many fighting grounds. If Han opened the extinction territory, within the radius of one hundred kilometers, millions and millions of espers will lose their superpowers and if they knew Han did it, they will not let him go.

Therefore, Han can only use his close quarter zone to cover Ye Weiwei. But this way, Ye Weiwei must keep herself within one meter of Han. If she goes pass this distance, her storm powers will be uncontrollable.

"You…you…" Yeweiwei looked at Han, with a surprised look and spoke with a lisp.

"You figured it out?" Han smiled and said, "Honestly, it is nothing special. Let's go, don't make them wait for so long."

Han pushed Ye Weiwei into the backseat of the Landing Speeder while he sat beside her himself.

The level of warlord and the level under warlord had a distinct difference. Therefore Ye Weiwei immediately recognized Han's astonishing difference.

The first time she met Han, he was still a small fry, but now the small fry Han was different from the past. Ye Weiwei had been witnessing his growth, she was really happy for him.

When they reached the Deceitful Star Club, Han and Ye Weiwei walked down to the Landing Speeder together and walked into the reserved suite. Ye Weiwei like Han's little tail. She followed him all along and gazed at his back and grew happier, like Han's achievement was correlated to her.

The level of warlord cannot be hidden. Originally everyone was celebrating with Ke Lake but the moment Han appeared, everyone encircled him. Han immediately admitted he had ranked up to the level of warlord, but he hadn't explained the obstacles he met and the reason.

This was of course a good thing. The three addicts were laughing hard, accounting for it all. Han was their unofficial disciple, with his achievements to date they also felt proud.

As for others, they were Han's friends and brothers, there was no need to say more. Ke Lake happily consecutively chugged three large glasses of alcohol, mumbling constantly about the brothers and their souls in the afterlife who have died in battle, so emotional that he couldn't control himself.

News reached Earth, Long Chuan and the others were also drunk. Three years ago, Earth was still constantly battling in order to not be colonized. Every face was fraught with worry, and now, with the birth of two great warlords, a flagship army, a robotic army, fighting power over the top.

As of now it's not a matter of where people were being treated unfairly, it has already become a matter of whether or not Earth wants to treat others unfairly or not!

This is all thanks to Han, the two main great forces were created by Han. Even Ke Lake was brought over by Han from the edges of the galaxy.

Earth's residents normally did not believe in Gods, they only believed in Han. Not afraid that people said Han was a demon, they were still willing to frantically believe in this demon.

Han doesn't want to use the word entertain, as it was too distant. The people present were mostly sworn brothers, but as the number was high, there were many that Han had not yet been able to treat. All he can do was to try his best to chat a little bit with everyone he meets and ask his brothers how they were faring.

At a glance, Han saw in the corner Jian Jia. She was also Han's acquaintance, but as she's not too close to others, she hid in a corner drinking by herself.

Han smiled, and brought Ye Weiwei to Jian Jia's side to sit.

"Congratulations, big warlord." Jian Jia looked like a sulking little fox, looked at Han and Ye Weiwei who was leaning close to him and pouting as she spoke.

"Thank you. Why are you so depressed and unhappy looking today, did someone anger you?" Han asked slightly politely.

"Pff, a person who dares anger me has yet to be born, you don't have to worry about my matters, you should go take care of sister Weiwei instead. You see, sister Weiwei's skin is quite nice, you can see that she has never been exposed to sunlight, as smooth as silk, even prettier than lilies." said Jian Jia slightly jealously.

Ye Weiwei did not talk back, nor was she excited. Lightly sighing. she said "Actually, I wish I had no superpowers. That would be for the best."

Jian Jia was actually a sincere person. It's just that she had a temper. It was not the first time that she and Ye Weiwei met. Actually during the time Han was away, the two were always very close, often shopping together and tasting red wine.

Jian Jia did not understand it herself, after seeing how close Ye Weiwei was walking with Han, as if their shadows never parted, her heart felt uncomfortable.

Seeing Ye Weiwei with a pained look in her eyes, Jian Jia immediately felt uncomfortable in her heart, quickly said "Sister Weiwei, don't take this seriously, I'm just messing with you. Yesterday I stole a splendid bottle of wine from my father's stash, later I'll bring it to you and we can taste it together?"

"Um, sounds good, really don't know where your father finds so much good alcohol. My room still has the lingering touch of a refreshing scent. Last time the alcohol you brought was not simply splendid, it was the best of the best." Ye Weiwei said.

Jian Jia joyfully said with a smile "Sister Weiwei sure knows her stuff, but let us be clear, it will only be us two drinking. Han has no right to join us, to him, even the best wine does not compare to a cup of hot chocolate. Giving him some of this alcohol would only be a waste."

The atmosphere of the party slowly livened up, even those who were originally strangers became close after a few drinks. In a blink, it was already midnight.

Suddenly~

From the main door in the lobby you could hear a heavy sound. It didn't ring, but it was loud enough that everyone heard it, as if on purpose.

An old man wearing a military uniform could be seen. He had white hair and a stern look.

Swish~

The main lobby was suddenly dead silent. Especially the three addicts and the few others who also came from the realm of oblivion, frowning collectively. It seemed as though they did not want to see this old military man.

"Heard you were all here, so I came to see." The old man wearing the military uniform looked at the three addicts coldly said, "Back in the days, I promised Chuli, and let you all live within the realm of oblivion, but I also said, if you were to leave without my permission, then you would have to pay the price!"

Chapter 290: SIMA HUNFENG

Translator: Editor:

Han finally realized that the hook-nosed old man in the military uniform was actually the foe that the Three Addicts were extremely fearful of. It was exactly him who forced numerous strong people to escape to the Oblivion Realm.

Han took a close look at him. He wanted to know where the strength of this old man in the military uniform lied that he could even threaten the life of so many of the milky way's strongman.

"This old man is very strong." Jian Jia whispered at Han's ear in a never before heard tone. Jian Jia always looked down upon others, but when it came this old man he seemed to be standing upright.

"He is the top master of the milky way galaxy, eight-star summit warlord, Sima Hunfeng." Ye Weiwei said to Han.

"Eight-star summit!?

Han was suddenly shocked, because the gap between levels of that time was extremely huge. A medium ranked warlord usually possessed a few factors more source energy possessed by a junior warlord, It was very difficult to level up. There was an impassable gulf between six-star and seven-star, however, between seven-star and eight-star lied an even deeper gulf.

And Sima Hunfeng's level was even eight star summit? That means, someday in the future he might even get the miraculous ninth golden star!

A total of nine golden stars, as a warrior who has just got his seventh star, Han could not even imagine how strong a nine-star warrior be!

It was just quite strange that Han was never aware of such a powerful man existing in the milky way galaxy, and there was no hearsay of this man anywhere either.

And also that even that the three Addicts were not afraid of death, they appeared to fear only Sima Hunfeng. That was even stranger.

On the other side, Night Walker, known as the Poison Addict Night Ruins smiled bitterly and then said, "So you want to kill us because we left the Oblivion Realm?"

Sima Hunfeng disapproved, "No, at least now I don't have any intention to kill you. I just want to remind you that an agreement is an agreement, you have breached your agreement with me, so even if I don't kill you right now, I may kill you any time in the future."

Those words were tough, the Three Addicts even exceptionally did not refute. They nodded, meaning that they understood.

Han did not always mind others' business, but that time it was about Three Addicts, they were not only Han's guest but also his teacher.

Han stood up, he put a smile on his face and said, "Although you've had some kind of agreement but it doesn't mean you can't make a little change to it, right? They were just here at the deep layer of the dark net, but they did not return to the milky way galaxy. On the other hand, our sworn enemy, the gods are approaching, we need to unite every human to save the milky way galaxy from this crisis. What was the real point of holding on to the past agreement at this critical point? I would say we forget all the past and unite together to stand up together to our greatest threat."

After listening to Han's words that did not really make any sense, Sima Hunfeng took a glimpse at Han and said in his deep voice, "First, I don't know if other people's agreement can be changed, but an agreement with me, never."

"Second, the gods poses no threat to humans. Even if they all come to our place like you just said then I will also send them to hell."

Han was stunned, he has never heard such arrogant words.

Sima Hunfeng was unbelievably arrogant! Because of him, the gods did not even dare to attack the milky way galaxy? Was that what he has been thinking about?

Anyone who did not know Sima Hunfeng or was not familiar with him must feel there was something wrong with this old guy, under so many such skeptical gazes. Sima Hunfeng left with a group of his underlings who were also in military uniform, they should have also reached warlord level.

Because of Sima Hunfeng, such a nice gathering became cold and cheerless. It even had to end early. Everyone could see that the Three Addicts and the other few guests from Oblivion Realm were all worried. They were in no mood to continue the gathering.

Most people left, the only ones left were Han's best friends, as well as friends from the Oblivion Realm.

Night Walker put a forced smile on his face and told Han, "I almost forgot to tell you that I brought thunder-fire and the king-vine that you need. That friend was quite generous this time. He gave you a thousand thunder-fire and twenty king-vine seeds, should be enough for you to use for a while."

Han was overjoyed, thunder-fire and king-vine were the masterpieces of a master in the Oblivion Realm. These were not for sale on the market, and they were not easy to get.

Han took over thunder-fire and king-vine and replied delightfully, "Please pass my appreciation to this master, and by the way tell him that if he ever needs any help I'll be at his service."

Wuyun curled his lips and said, "There are lots of people who want to work for him, he doesn't need one more. On the other hand the reason he provided you with thunder-fire and king-vine was completely out of our face, and your own hard work. So, what really important is that you do your best, don't waste that guy's efforts."

Han nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I really want to meet him if there's a chance, I want to see how he make these thunder-fire and king-vine."

Pathless Origin hurriedly waved his hand and then said, "Don't even think about it. No one will show their truly unique skill to others if you don't have a solid relationship."

Han did not respond. At this aspect the Three Addicts were selfless, even if they had no established teacher-student relationship with Han, they still passed their respective unique skills on to Han. It was just because of the Three Addicts' unique skills that Han became this kind of scary. Speaking of which, they were all Han's real teachers, and more over, his benefacors.

Thinking of that, Han changed the topic of the conversation, he frowned and then asked, "I've kept this question in my mind for a long time, what is Sima Hunfeng really like?"

Three Addicts and the other friends from Oblivion Realm all sighed, Night Walker said, "Sima Hunfeng was special in the milky way. He called himself the soul guard of the milky way galaxy, most people do not even get a chance to see him, because every one who has seen him are already dead."

"It was just the recent few years, protector Chu Li sensed a crisis in the milky way galaxy, so he beseeched Sima Hunfeng not to kill every single law-violator in the milky way galaxy, since then did his stories spread out and are now being heard by others."

"Before that, even us did not know that there is such a guy in the milky way galaxy until we got caught by him. He gave us two choices, either die or go to Chu Li and stay away from the milky way galaxy."

"Speaking of which we are not afraid of death. All people from the Oblivion Realm aren't, but its different with Chu Li. Once he had his eye on us, death is virtually as desirable as going to heaven. That's why we don't want to mess with him."

"Don't you worry about that, now that since we dare to come to the path of gods, we are prepared to encounter him here. It was just that not even I had anticipated that Sima Hunfeng really did come, and he came so fast."

Han was still puzzled that why everyone here was so afraid of Sima Hunfeng, but he found it inappropriate to interrupt Night Walker.

Night Walker told such a story. It was said that when Sima Hunfeng was young, his family let him guard their ancestors' cemetery. The cemeteries of the strong were all restricted areas, all intruders shall be killed and the Sima family's cemetery was no exception.

One day there came a ship carrying refugees, their engine went out and they had no other choice but to park in the near earth orbit sending help signals.

Sima Hunfeng received the signal and immediately boarded on the ship. He gave them some medicine and food, and then killed half of the refugees, including unborn babies.

This incident of course made his family angry, because such a brutal and cold-blooded approach was inconsistent with the Sima family's family instructions. It was a bad influence on their reputation.

But Sima Hunfeng insisted on what he did was right. He helped those refugees because they were pathetic and killed those refugees because they had violated the rule of no one shall get close to the restricted area.

Sima Hunfeng killed everyone in the half of the ship which was in the restricted area.

Sima Hunfeng was twenty when he did that.

Since then everyone realized how such a stubborn guy Sima Hunfeng was, to him. Nothing is more important in the world to him than rules.

Later then, when Sima Hunfeng grew a little older and went through lots of human sophistication, the situation started to get a little better. He started to be more reasonable, so protector Chu Li could rescue people like the Three Addicts who violated the rules of the milky way galaxy from Sima Hunfeng. If it was back when he was young, this would be utterly impossible.

That was a heavy topic. Night Walker warned Han in a low voice, "There is one thing I want you to remember. If one day, we die by the hand of Sima Hunfeng, don't avenge us. Don't even think about it, because you absolutely will not win."

Chapter 291: Reincarnation

Translator: Editor:

The most powerful man in the Milky Way Galaxy Sima Hunfeng finally appeared. Han was not excited about this.

At the same time, at the Witches' holy realm, the #13 Constellation that Han just battled on, two very strange visitors appeared.

No one knew how they managed to go through the witch's defense system, entering the holy realm. On the night, two people with black robes appeared at King Neptune's grave where he had died.

After all, he was still the King of witches. Although King Neptune was insane before he died, killing his own people, but he was still buried in the holy grave when he died. Many of the witch leaders came to mourn.

"It must be here, I can smell the familiar scent on his body."

"I trust your instinct, now let's open the tombstone."

Swish~

One person with black robes moved his wrist slightly. The tombstone, the coffin and the flowers above it, all went flying, then slowly fell to the ground beside the grave.

Opening the coffin revealed King Neptune's dead body. The throat was reattached after Han sliced it off, and makeup was applied to hide blemishes and bruises. The body was wearing the witches' most honorable clothing, wearing the golden feathered crown which symbolized power and status.

"This body has a strong sense of rebellion, it is very strong."

"I can see that, not long ago, rebellious forces once controlled him, but this power was taken from him afterwards. The person who took this power from him also killed this witch."

"Do you think this body can be used?"

"Maybe, but I need to examine it first."

After, one of them came closer to King Neptune, lying just inches away from King Neptune's coffin, almost falling inside.

Suddenly, four angry witch warriors surrounded them. The witch king was already dead, his body was buried moments ago, and now someone was digging it up. It made these warriors oddly furious.

"Who are you guys!? Why are you touching our king's tomb?!"

Facing the witch warrior's interrogation, the man in black robes shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't plan on killing you guys, because your powers are way too weak."

Witch warriors shouted angrily, "Trying to steal our king! Take them down! Take them to the witch conference room!"

Swish~

4 Witch warriors prepared for battle. They were not the sharpest warriors, because the best soldiers either died in battle, or were taken by Han, but no one could underestimate them. The witch warriors were fluent in their special abilities, poison techniques, puppet techniques, summoning techniques, and so on.

Boom~

Suddenly, the man in black robes raised his right arm. It was a pale looking right hand, covered by a thick layer of dark gasses, very similar to Han when he used dark energy and the power of demons.

At the same time, those witch warriors couldn't control themselves and were lifted up into the air, as if someone was holding onto their heads, lifting them up. They could not resist the power.

"They are with that damn human!" One of the witch warriors yelled.

The man in black robes was surprised for a moment, he originally wanted to kill these witch warriors, but now, he changed his mind.

The man in black robes pulled his right arm back, bringing the witch warrior who was yelling in front of him, quietly asked, "You have seen existences like us?"

His wording was very weird. When he talked about himself, he used the word existence, not people.

"Of course I have seen it! You are with Han! You both use dark energy. It must be you guys, you guys killed the great King Neptune!"

This warrior was King Neptune's loyal admirer, but when he said that, he sold Han completely.

"Oh, so his name is Han." The man in black robes said.

At this moment, the person beside King Neptune's coffin got back on his feet, quietly, "This body is not bad, we can use it."

The witch warrior had some brains, he was surprised, "So you guys are not with Han?"

The man in black said, "Tell us more about Han?"

Right after his speech, the other man in black beside him had no more patience, taking out his skull-like hands, pulling on the head of this witch warrior, taking out a magical dark glow out of his head.

As for the unlucky witch warrior, he died instantly, without another breath.

Huuuuu~

The man in black ate the dark cloud that came out form the witch warrior's body. He closed his eyes with an evil smile on his face.

"Han, interesting." The man in black was talking to himself.

Swish~

The dead witch warrior was thrown to the side, his body solid and dead cold.

The witch warriors still alive were startled. The witches knew that there existed mysterious organizations near the Milky Way Galaxy that used all kinds of weird spells and abilities, but now, these two men in black were even more mysterious than the witches! What they just pulled out a moment ago, it seemed like the warrior's soul!

"Why has the reinforcement not arrived yet, the witch masters should have been here already!"

Sigh~

The man in black let out a sigh, "Fools, your witch masters, they are already being controlled."

Swish~

The man in black raised his hand slightly, suddenly pulling out the soul from the other 3 witch warriors, opening his greedy mouth and eating them.

"The quality is too low, but still worth something." The man in black claimed with a sarcastic voice.

"You greedy fool." The other man in black shook his head.

At this moment, he has already used some silver nails, nailing them into King Neptune's body.

Following that, the man in black closed his hands. With a weird pose, he spoke in a language that no one understood.

Ceng~

Suddenly, things changed dramatically.

The dead King Neptune sat up from his coffin. The stitching of his head was still a little bit imperfect so he twisted it slightly with his hands.

"We have summoned you, because you did not die willingly, still with anger. Now, bring us to the person named Han. Find him, and you will rest in peace." The man in black said.

No one knew what was going on in King Neptune's mind, or whether he was just a robotic slave under their control.

Afterwards, the 2 men in black, and the reincarnated King Neptune disappeared into the mist of the night, they did not board the star ship, but still managed to leave the Deliface region.

After a few hours have passed, Han and the 3 addicts were still troubled by Sima Hunfeng's appearance. The 3 addicts were warning Han, never be enemies with this traditional, powerful man, not having a clue that King Neptune was alive again.

The witches, bring controlled by those dark apostles, already found out that King Neptune's body was missing.

The 13 famous witches, other than one being the dark apostle's transformation, were all puppets.

The transformed apostle in the witch's body observed for a while, and finally let out a cold breath, using secret connections and reached #1, currently the highest ranking in the apostles, telling him this strange phenomenon.

"#2, you sure those people died like back then?"

"Positive, it is exactly the same as the memory implanted in me. Back then, there were the same people who had strange powers, looking for the human weapon. Our god finally got rid of them. This time, those men with strange powers appeared again. The dead bodies have no wounds on them, eyes wide open, tongue black, just like someone took their soul. This is not the first time I seen this, it can't be wrong."

Huuuu~

#1 Clenched his teeth, "Damn, it was all because of them back then, intervening with our master's research on the human weapon. When he left he was scared to take it with him, having no choice but to seal it."

"Now that these damn enemies have reappeared, don't know if they are here for our master, or for the human weapon."

#2 said, "Regardless, they will be trouble."

#1 Nodded, "That's right, it's a big problem, I need to notify the master, although very far away, with great costs, but I must let our masters know, those weird people, they are back again."

#2 Apostle thought for a moment, "At the same time, we need to speed up the activation of #0 apostle. Although he is not as powerful as our master, but he has part of our master's power. Maybe he can stop these weird guys."

"We need to quickly let Han find the other 3 dark crystals."

"Why?" #1 was troubled.

#2 Apostle said, "Have you already forgotten? These strange people, they are also afraid of the human weapon, constantly testing, but never able to face the human weapon directly. This is what gave our master the opportunity."

#1 Apostle said, "Indeed, I will activate #0 myself, there is no need for you to be staying at the witches'. Come back, wait for our master's next command."

"Yes." #2 Apostle lowered his voice.

Chapter 292: Mastering the Path of Yao

Translator: Editor:

9527's exchange station was Han's favorite place other than Earth for no other reasons than that it was quiet enough and equipped with advanced technology.

Han and 9527's relationship was steady, the exchange station was huge, and 9527 usually let Han help him with the inventory of different items, almost as if Han was his assistant.

He even gave some authority to Han. Whatever Han liked, as long as it was not from the mysterious room, he could take whenever he wished. Even if Han took something, 9527 would not notice.

As Han became more knowledgeable about this exchange station, he was starting to think this exchange station looked a lot like a portable space station. He accidentally walked into the power cabin, seeing 4 sets of fusion reactors with shocking power indexes.

If not used for the engine, Han couldn't think of any other reasons why an exchange station needed such high-quality energy sources.

Also, the placement of cables strictly followed the guideline for space flights. The ultra-light transmission cables have 3 layers of sealed titanium alloys protecting it. Even if an emergency happened at the station, it could still guarantee the safety of the transmission of data.

Overall, the more Han knew about the exchange station, the more he thought that this place was a spaceship, and it was one equipped with powerful energy systems and high-speed engines.

According to the rules, Han could not take those weapon, books and electronics from the showcase. Only manuals, if he enjoyed them, he could use points to exchange for.

But now that Han had authority, if he liked a weapon, he could take it out for a swing. And if he thinks its bad, then he puts it back.

One time Han even took a small engine used to power the escape capsule back to Earth to show the engineers for some testing. It was not bad, and he spent points to purchase the blueprints. 9527 should have known the entire process, but he doesn't seem to care, and never even asked about it.

All of this was tangible to Han. As for the intangible, the most mysterious belonged to where 9527 lives, Han knew he lived in the exchange station's connector, that it was a long and twisting path, finally leading to 9527's place. If Han does not see him, he must be in his room.

Apart from that there was also 9527's room with the most precious items. Han could access this room freely, apart from the Boundless Ten-thousand Beasts, all other things sealed or protected by energy barriers could not be accessed by Han.

In this room, regardless if it was books or items, none of them had manuals. Han does not know what most of them are used for.

In the training room, Han turned the source energy radiation level to nightmare mode. Although nightmare mode will cost Han 10,000 points per hour, but he seems not to care, because he has an excessive amount of points. The gene fusion beast technique made him a lot of money, and if needed, Han could pursue his path of money making.

Right now, Han did not have the incentive to make money, because he had authority in the exchange station. He does not need points to read books, he can use weapons whenever he wants, all he has to do is return it to 9527 when he is done. Han could take electronic machines to the engineers to research. If successful, they will attempt to replicate it and if unsuccessful, then Han will use points to purchase the blueprints.

Studying, training, thinking, these are the ways that Han mainly improved himself.

He is currently training the Path of Yao, the last path in the six paths of Void. It is unclear whether it is because Han had acquired the Brain of Darkness allowing Han to gain insane cognitive abilities, or he was born to learn the Path of Yao. Han was making progress by the day, the hardest Path of Yao, seems to be the easiest for Han when training.

Of course, easy does not mean the Path of Yao can be learned instantly. The Path of Yao was not like the other paths that Han had learned before. It was complicated.

According to the definition of the six paths of Void, this was a power far beyond gods and demons.

Path of Yao's power was not about how strong it was, it was about its unpredictability and strangeness, this is why the Path of Yao was never normal.

Overall, six paths of Void was the desire for high level techniques. Even for the difficult path of Demon of the past, it actually only had one move, the move itself was very simple.

The Path of Yao was drastically different. It had countless layers of basic techniques. Han liked to describe the Path of Yao as a Go game, the board only seemed so big, but infinite possibilities can be created. Even the most powerful computer cannot calculate how many differentiations there was to the Path of Yao.

The Path of Yao was a complicated force in between the gods and the demons, the merging of darkness and light.

To succeed is all six paths, one must feel the power of the paths, Han successfully mastered all the previous paths, but now when it comes to the Path of Yao, Han was completely troubled.

An existence not bright nor dark, an existence not holy nor demonic, all sorts of chaos, contradictions, the elements that cancelled out merged together. To master something with infinite possibilities, it was impossible to master it in a day or two.

Path of Yao's complications and chaos made Han very upset. He felt like he was a piece in the huge board of go, unable to escape from the complicated board.

What's more depressing, the complicated heavenly earth game has a critical attractiveness to it. Han's curiosity was intense. The more he is confused, the more he wants to solve it.

Nowadays Han even dreamt of himself practicing the Path of Yao. The complicated and illogical Path of Yao has completely taken over his life. He has left everything else behind him.

Huuuu~

Standing in the middle of the training room, Han let out a deep breath, just about to perform the extremely complex Path of Yao.

At the same time, the 9527 hiding in the exchange station's control room was also getting excited as Han is about perform his technique.

"Wow, Han actually remembered this set of extremely complicated moves!? Only using 2 days!" The chubby old man said with excitement.

What he doesn't know is, Han has had some gains lately, that is the Brain of Darkness. With the help of this magical crystal, Han's logical thinking, memory, analytic skill all improved drastically.

If in the past, remembering this set of extremely complex techniques would at least take 3 month, but now, Han only needed 2 days.

"Master, when I use vector calculations, I discovered that Han's training is different every time, which means, his Path of Yao is changing, this is so strange, if it is different every time when used, can it still count as one set of techniques?" A female robotic voice asked with curiosity.

This was the A.I system that has been with 9527 for years. She does not have a body, just a set of systems, a female voice with a cold tone, from this, is shows how lonely 9527 is.

9527 was happily smiling.

"My queen, this is where you don't understand. Heaven, earth, human, god, demon all exist. Only the Path of Yao, that is something that does not exist, is an evolutionary form."

"I still don't understand." The A.I being called queen said.

9527's eye brightened up, with a serious tone, "Of course you wouldn't understand, Yao is never normal, Yao is chaos, Yao is the existence that should not exist, jumping out of three worlds, not with the five elements."

"Yao is very powerful, existing in this universe, but not restricted by any elements of the universe, and the most impressive thing about Yao is it constantly changes. Han will eventually rely on this forever changing power and reach beyond the limits of Yao."

"Yao is not a type of existence, it is alternating paths. Once on this path, Han will never become god, and never be the demon, as for what he will finally become, no one knows, where the path ends, no one knows."

"But I still don't understand." Queen added.

9527 bursted out laughing, "Not only you don't understand, I also don't understand, Han himself does not understand, there is not a single person in this universe that understands, as for this complex, chaotic, irregular, illogical, uncontrollable force, that is the Path of Yao!"

Chapter 293: The Smell of Yao

Translator: Editor:

Han's life seemed to go back to normal. He was training in the station everyday, as well as reading manuals and thinking. As for Star City, Han was not very keen on going, because he finally realized something. It was not very easy for him to obtain the title of Starlord. Not only does he need power, but also some luck.

Doing missions everyday can allow one to get promoted to Starlord?

How can it that easy!

A lot of people have been doing missions at Star City for all their lives, and their performances were not bad, but they still couldn't get the title of Starlord. From that it is obvious the title of Starlord is not something acquired by only hard working.

Han started to enjoy reading books. Although he realized that the Brain of Darkness gave him something very different, he did not truly understand cognitive power's existence and how strong it can be.

Han only knew that his studies were going more smoothly than ever. Quantum physics, gravitational wave physics, microbiology, all of these required Han's undivided attention to understand bit by bit. Now he does not even need to take notes while reading and could solve the difficult problems as he reads along.

This feeling was obviously good. If there was a book, no matter how many times a person read it and still could not understand, if that was the case, even the most enthusiastic learner will become weary.

If there was a book, every time when you read something new, you understood, that would be a completely different story. Han will read what he read yesterday once again to learn something new.

To simply put it, Han had mastered his abilities to read and understand.

Warriors usually did not read, but Han liked it. This is where he was special.

More importantly, Han also liked to read all kinds of books. There was a book about butterflies written by an infamous author, yet Han still read it with a strong interest. It described the 46 million different species of butterflies known in the universe, their appearance, habits, genetics and so on.

He sometimes even read the genetic mapping of the universe's dominant families. That was trillions of complicated genetic analysis maps. Unless one was a psychopath, no one would ever enjoy such things.

Overall Han still trained very hard and read like a psychopath. As long as the station had it, Han will read about it.

One time 9527 saw Han reading an infant raising manual. The chubby old man was almost in tears. Han was a warrior with talents, reaching the warlord level at such a young age. Now that he was reading books at this level, it made 9527 speechless.

Even if 9527 wanted to stop Han from becoming a bookworm, he wouldn't have any way to do it.

That was because Han still trained very hard when he was supposed to. 9527 had never seen any warriors in his life work harder than Han, so how can he complain that reading an infant raising manual on his spare time was wrong?

9527 let out a deep breath, shaking his head. Not only will Han become an outstanding warrior. He also wants to become the person with the most knowledge in this world.

Three months has passed, Han suddenly received a lot of messages. Ke Lake, the three addicts, Jian Jia, Ye Weiwei, Hei Xiaolin, Lance, all of them were trying to find him. Not knowing what happened, Han had to leave 9527's station, coming to Star City.

The first to meet Han were Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei. Those two were always together.

"I will go take a shower." Ye Weiwei seeing Han, happily went to her room.

Han knows, Ye Weiwei went to change into a dress. She was very unique from the other girls, Ye Weiwei was always looking forward to seeing Han and she truly cherished every moment she had with Han.

Han thought it was not bad. After all Han was a man, and men always liked to be needed by others.

Jian Jia sat across from Han. She did not care if Han cared for her, because she could take care of herself. Without Han, she was the same. She even thought that Han might drag her behind.

Comparing the two, Han leaned towards being with Ye Weiwei. Han only took her to see a movie, but she will remember it forever.

"Why are you guys so eager to find me?" Han asks Jian Jia.

Jian Jia dressed like a boy, but as her hand moved pass her ears, Han discovered her ear ring.

Jian Jia said without any interest, "It is about getting the Starlord title soon? Its alright, I will be kind once again, and take you guys through the tough times."

"It is going to be the Star City Elite Gala soon. Lots of high level officials from the All Gods corporation will be present. Picking out the talented, as long as you guys follow me, passing will be guaranteed, but as for obtaining the title of Starlord, that is up to your luck."

Han nodded his head. Becoming a Starlord was a good thing. Once he had the title of Starlord, it means having the freedom of accessing the Particle Module, and the Particle Module Han had right now was under strict restrictions, only allowing him to travel to Star City, the exchange station, and Earth.

After the restrictions have been lifted, Han will be able to travel within the constellations near the Milky Way Galaxy freely, from Earth to the realm of Oblivion, just in a minute.

As for other uses of the title of Starlord, it sounded attractive, but Han thinks that tose were not as important as the transportation benefits.

The gods were arriving soon with a powerful fleet, and the corporation of Gods were very powerful but will never intervene with things on Earth. Whether or not the humans of the Milky Way could overcome this obstacle will all depend on the following two years.

Han thought for a moment, "You said you will make us pass, what does that mean?"

Jian Jia was annoyed, "Of course it means to make you guys pass. You think it is that easy to get the title of Starlord? Apart from having strength, you must pass through the Mystery Valley. Without my map, it is impossible for you guys."

Han said with a cold voice, "I don't need to show my powers, because I registered as a Beast Tamer."

Psss~

Jian Jia felt dizzy for a moment.

"You clearly kill without even blinking, but disguise yourself as a beast tamer. I feel really bad for all the other Beast Tamers that are competing with you."

"But I can tell you, your gene beasts can guarantee you to pass the skill test, but they cannot guarantee your crossing of the Mystery Valley. If you want the title of Starlord, you still need me." Jian Jia was a little unsatisfied.

Han nodded his head, "Alright, thanks. If all of us gets the title of Starlord, I will treat you to dinner."

Ye Weiwei was a child on the inside.

Maybe because she was affected by super powers when she was young and was very lonely, she still liked to go to places like amusement parks.

Star City was surrounded by ocean. It had a huge water park. Han, Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei went there. He also wanted to invite Lance and the other friends, but when knowing that it was a water park, they all said they were busy, and could not make it.

Ye Weiwei was wearing her prettiest dress, following Han closely by his side.

The water park had many fun attractions such as a super water slide that went as high as 10,000 meters above the ground, a swimming pool with a lot of docile little fish, and a completely see through train that goes to the center of the deep ocean.

Ye Weiwei was looking at the water slide high above ground, her eyes filled with desire.

"Should we go have a try?" Han asking her with a smile.

"No, its ok." Ye Weiwei shook her head quickly, but her eyes still focused on a boy screaming as he came down from the slide.

"Don't be scared, I will be by your side." Han says.

Ye Weiwei took another deep breath, "I know, but the speed of falling is too quick. It is very easy for me be out of your 1m radius, it would be a disaster if that happens."

Han nodded his head. This super slide's design was very thrilling, very bizarre. Humans will basically slide down at the speed of free fall, only a few hundred meters before hitting the ground, the energy will be cushioned out, to decrease the impact when falling into the water.

As for a slide, it was so complex and allowed one to reach high speed. Unless Han wrapped his arms around Yeweiwei, it was very easy for her to get out of Han's range, causing lightning and thunder. If that happens, all the kids in the pool will be miserable.

As for Han hugging her, Ye Weiwei was pretty shy about it, so after contemplating for awhile she decided not to try such a dangerous game. Although she really wanted to feel the waters splashing and enjoy the thrilling feeling.

Han with a very strange smile, very seriously said, "Don't worry, I will just activate the Void End."

Ye Weiwei was shocked and hesitantly said, "But your Void End has a range of more than a 100km, it will affect a lot of people."

Han seems to not care, "So what? As long as you are happy, they can go to hell."

This was very shocking, Yeweiwei's heart was pounding. She couldn't believe it, would Han really affect that many people just for her?

Jian Jia looked at Han somewhat lost. Three months apart, and this guy changed so drastically. His body had a smell of evilness, or to say, the smell of Yao.

Chapter 294: Three-Eyed Monster

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Han really used Void End and deprived everyone's power in a hundred kilometers radius area, just for Ye Weiwei to be able to play in the water like an ordinary girl.

Jian Jia saw this and felt a complex feeing in her heart. To her, Han almost had nothing other than these talents, yet Han used his only power to be this nice towards Ye Weiwei and it made Jian Jia feel a bit jealous.

"Miss, some people from the investigation department came." A swift little figure ran to Jian Jia's back and whispered.

"Tell them to get out." Jian Jia was not in a good mood.

"Yes."

The dark guard backed out, and the water park was still calm. Jian Jia was very proud because her strength was far stronger than Han's, but then she soon changed to being a little depressed.

Originally, Jian Jia felt that she was like the daughter of heaven who owned everything, but today, it looked like that was not the case. The more she saw that bright smile and the excitement that Ye Weiwei couldn't hide, Jian Jia grew increasingly jealous. This was because there wasn't really anyone that would make him feel as happy as Ye Weiwei, and she could only play with herself for most of the time.

In the evening, Han also gathered everyone for a meal. Everyone had the same reason to see Han, that they didn't want Han to miss this opportunity to be promoted to Star Lord.

According to the rules, the Star Lord's annual event will start from arena battle, and the winners would be able to participate in a big journey at the Mystic Valley (Previously known as Mystery Valley). Then, those that successfully completed the journey can acquire the Star Lord title.

Han promised everyone that he will for sure attend the event, and then the crowd was assured. The Mystic Valley Journey allowed team-forming, so if Han's present, using Void End and the Wolf Fang tactic would be beneficial for everyone.

After all, Han's Wolf Fang tactic's reputation was already out there, and everyone knew that Han was not only an outstanding warrior, but also a rare battlefield commander, a battle rhythm master.

"Everyone try your best, and we will meet again at the Mystic Valley!" Han gave a toast.

Shua~

In the deep dark sky, there were two mysterious black cloaked figures with one guarding the other.

Just at that moment, the eyes of one of the black cloaked figures turned white in color, as he used his psychic powers and saw Han's gathering with friends.

"So he's actually hiding at the second layer of Dark Net, behind the back of the All Gods Corporation. This is making it a bit difficult." The white eyed one that could channel psychic power said while breathing heavily, as if using this technique puts a heavy toll on his body.

The other man in black cloak nodded and said, "Yes, with the All Gods Corporation being an important part of the dark net, this is indeed hard to deal with. But, we are not completely out of options."

"What do you mean?"

"Very simple. Aren't they going to the Mystic Valley? We can cut the connection between the Mystic Valley and the Dark Net."

"It's theoretically feasible, but wouldn't this move attract too much attention?"

"That will depend on how much the Old Man wants to get rid of the traitor. If the Old Man really wants to make the traitor completely disappear in this universe, he will take this risk."

"Then what's left to do is not something in our control anymore. Let's go, let's report our findings to the Old Man."

"No need to rush. After these three months of research, we also found many forces that have grudges against the traitor, and these forces might be able to be used for our advantage."

"You are referring to the Triple-Eyed Race and the dark apostles under their command?"

"Yep."

"I don't like those Triple-Eyed people."

"I don't like them too, but as long as they are useful for us it's fine. If they are willing to work with us from the inside, our plan's success rate will become higher."

"Okay, this time I will listen to you. Should we talk with those dark apostles, or directly get in touch with the Triple-Eye behind those apostles?"

"Of course, it's finding the masters. The dark apostles are just puppets of the Triple-Eyed Race, what qualification do they have to talk to us?"

Star Lord City

The annual arena is in full swing.

Han could be said to be the most annoying existence amongst all beast tamers. He's clearly a soldier, yet he's taking up a spot in the beast tamer participant stream.

Posing as a beast tamer was enough, and what really pisses other people off is that he's actually a really strong one, no one could beat the genetic beasts under his command.

Not being able to win was enough. After all, the Ten-Thousand Boundless Beasts was considered an era-marking milestone in the genetic technology field. But what pissed people off even more as that those powerful genetic beasts weren't even treated specially by Han. They were babies that others wouldn't hesitate to trade millions of dark net points for, yet they were worthless in Han's eyes. Han didn't even bother giving them a name and just numbered them off.

Han's #5 genetic beast won over eight games, and today was the finals. The top ten genetic beasts were going to fight in one round and be ranked based on performance.

For the past eight games, Han didn't even come himself. He just told his two little bros Lance and Hei Xiaolin to watch after #5 for him.

Now that today was the final, Han finally reluctantly decided to appear at the scene.

According to the rules, the ranking was also a bit meaningful. The higher the rank, the more information one could get on the Mystic Valley. Although Jian Jia claimed that she knew the secrets about Mystic Valley, Han still felt that it's better if he had some preparation himself. Besides, relying everything on others was also not Han's style.

Many of Han's friends came, including the blue-blood Boya who Han hadn't seen for awhile.

Jian Jia and Ye Weiwei sat at the back row, Ke Lake also sat near the back and spectated with the Three Addicts. Only Lance, Hei Xiaolin and Boya, those three idiots would die just to sit with Han. Especially Boya, he was full of hot blood no matter what he's doing. He even raised a big flag behind his back which as some really embarrassing words that's something along the line of "Han #1".

"I just want everyone to know that you are the Number 1 Beast Tamer in the Star Lord City!" Boya waved his blue arms and shouted.

Han really felt an headache. This wasn't being hot blooded, more like being retarded!

Later on, he must send Boya to school on Earth to teach him about the culture of being humble.

All in all, with Boya out, Han could not lay lowkey even if he wanted to. Just when his head was hurting, Han suddenly saw the king of the Headhunter race Fran. This guy was not very lucky, it took him awhile to just be able to make it to Star Lord City, and now he came to show Han his support too.

Fran was wearing a very strange outfit. There was a huge skeleton head on his back, and there were two horns on the head. According to him, this outfit was only worn when the Headhunter race worshipped their ancestors. It was especially expensive, yet for Han, Fran even wore it out.

Now, with Boya's flag and Fran's outfit, plus the big mouth Lance and Hei Xiaolin helping out at the side, all the other beast tamers added together didn't have enough sense of presence than Han.

"Too embarrassing, thank god we didn't sit beside Han. Don't tell anyone I know him." Jian Jia said with a red face.

Ye Weiwei actually wanted to sit closer to Han, but after all she was a princess from a big clan, and she couldn't stand Boya and the others' jokes.

Speaking of which, Han indeed should make better friends. All sorts of barbarians, assassins, and retarded people are all pretty close to Han.

"Look, the final battle began!" Boya shouted again.

"Not bad, Brother Han's #5 is the most prestigious and handsome looking one among the bunch." Fran patted Han on the shoulder and said.

"Huh? Something doesn't seem right. That genetic beast looks really insidious, and he has 3 eyes."

"#5 began backing off! How come he backed into the corner? Could it be that it's afraid of that triple-eyed genetic beast?"

Han suddenly hesitated. The triple-eyed monster that appeared on the battlefield also grabbed Han's attention. It was a molluscs-like monster with a dozen claws and a giant head. On the head, there were three eyes.

When the triple-eyed beast appeared, #5 quietly backed to the side and its eyes were tightly locked onto him.

Han knew very well, #5 backed in the corner because it sensed a huge threat, and it hoped to attack when the enemy was not prepared.

Just when Han frowned and thought, the whistle sounded, and the chaotic showdown of the top 10 genetic beasts immediately began.

Kacha~

Kacha~

They saw the triple-eyed beast used its long claws and attacked like missiles shooting out, each accurately hitting the opponents' head, directly damaging the deadliest brain area.

The crowd sunk into silence, because the triple-eyed beast demonstrated absolute dominance. Within just a few seconds, it killed 8 genetic beasts. Then, it turned around, tilted its head and looked at #5 in the corner.

Wooooooo~

The hair on #5's fur all shot up, and it roared towards the triple-eyed beast.

Chapter 295: Death of #5

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

The audience became silent. What happened was completely unexpected! This triple-eyed monster's performance was surprising. It was actually powerful enough to instantly eliminate 8 other genetic beasts.

At this moment, all that was left was the triple-eyed beast and Han's number beast. Everyone was concerned about the result of these two powerful beasts, yet Han already slightly lifted his eyes and began searching for the master of that unusual three-eyed monster

"Why is your Number Beast still not attacking?" Boya curiously asked Han while still furiously waving the flag.

"Because it got scared." Han said lightly.

"Scared?! Number can get scared too?!"

Not only was Boya shocked, everyone else almost couldn't believe what they heard. Number had been performing exceptionally well during the preliminaries, easily taking down all opponents that stood in its path. At the gambling station outside of the arena, Number was the one with the lowest odds to lose, and everyone all expected Number to take the final victory.

But now, Han actually said Number was scared? How's that possible?!

"Yes, just now when the three-eyed monster attacked the other genetic beasts, that was the best opportunity to attack for Number. But, it missed the chance due to fear, and that just showed that the threat posed by the three-eyed monster is not light. If there's no accident, Number will lose this fight." Han said in an abnormally calm voice.

Sure enough, right after his voice faded, they saw the three-eyed monster suddenly jump up. At the same time, the Number beast that was forced into a corner also finally decided to give its last effort and charge towards the three-eyed monster.

Unfortunately, due to fear, Number already missed its most optimal opportunity to strike. Right after its body jumped up, a dozen holes were opened in its body by the triple-eyed beasts' soft tentacles and died right on the spot.

"F*ck! I even bet thousands of points for your win!" Fran stomped the ground angrily.

The audiences also began b*tching, many people that previously betted Han to win shredded their tickets and threw them into the air in dissatisfaction.

"Now please welcome the masters of these genetic beasts to come up, and receive the rewards in accordance with the final ranking!" The elder that facilitated the battle said in a deep voice.

Han stood up and walked to the center of the battle field. Although the dead body of the genetic beasts were taken away, there still were blood stain, and where Han stood was right on top of the spot where Number died. He looked at the blood below his feet and frowned.

"Useless piece of sh*t! You pay me back the money I lost!"

"I actually betted on you to win, I'm really blind!"

Han immediately became the target of public criticism, and many people that lost the gamble began cursing at him.

"A bet is a bet, then concede the defeat! All of you shut up!" The Elder shouted, and since he was one of the managers of the Star Lord city, the scene immediately quieted down. But, those cursed words still made Han's face a bit cold, and the three addicts, Ye Weiwei, and Jian Jia all felt a little embarrassed.

No one could make sense of what happened, the Number beast that sailed easily all the way here, how did it just lose this easily.

Han was ranked second, standing at the spot in the center. There was a vacant spot beside him, saved for the champion but that person has yet to appear.

After a little while, a young man with little eyes finally came out. After taking a clear look of his face, Han suddenly hesitated because he was of the God race, and also one of the rare ones that opened their third eye!

Although the war between humans and the triple-eyed God race was imminent, but at the Star Lord city, it was as big of a thing as a sesame seed.

In this place filled with talents from all over the universe, humans were just a very small branch, and so was the three-eyed race. Both were very hard to come across in the city.

But today, Han encountered a real member of the three-eyed God Race. There was a gap on his forehead, an obvious gap. Once opened, Han would be able to see the third eye.

But for the majority of the God Race, there's no gap on their forehead because they didn't activate their third eye yet.

That Three-Eyed beast tamer with small eyes faintly smiled towards Han. It wasn't the kind out of goodwill, but a smile full of ridicule mockery. Then, he stood beside Han, and the woman-like perfume scent made Han's nose very itchy.

"First place's winner is, Three-Eyed Race, Heyuan!"

"Second place's winner is, Human Race, Han!"

Boo~

When Han's name was announced, the audiences booed.

Han showed no emotion, he accepted the congratulation from the City Management side and also a simple map of Mystic Valley. With this map, Han would have a much easier time in the challenge later.

At this point, the beast tamer's battle finished. Although Han didn't get first place, he still got the qualification to enter the Mystic Valley.

Han turned around and intended to leave, but at this moment, Heyuan from the Three-Eyed Race suddenly used a mocking tone and said to Han, "Your best genetic beast is dead, just wait for death when you get into Mystic Valley."

Shua~

Han turned around, lightly raised his eyebrows and said to Heyuan, "What did you say?"

"I said you don't have your Number Beast anymore, you are dead!" Heyuan continued to repeat his words.

Kkakakakakaka~

Suddenly~

Han just gently brushed over Lunar Mark, and a whole row of genetic beasts appeared at the scene, each more furious and powerful than the one that just died. Such powerful monsters actually appeared together in the form of an army, it immediately scared everyone at the scene.

Han lightly said, "One Number is down, I got more! Why not try to f*ck with me?"

Heyuan's face completely turned green and had awkward written all over it.

It's very hard to make high level genetic beasts, and each was the crystallization of tremendous amounts of effort and time.

How was he supposed to know Han's number series genetic beasts were not made, but synchronized! During this period of time, Han created a new batch during his spare time.

Other genetic beasts were talked about in single entities, but Han talks in armies.

And Han's mouth wasn't clean too, clearly showing that he's ashamed to use the number advantage to bully Heyuan.

Not even Heyuan's three-eyed beast dared to make a sound. It was not hard to kill one Number, but it was to kill a group of beasts that are even stronger than the last one! If it dares to move, then Han dares to execute it on the spot!

"How can have so many genetic beasts?" Heyuan gritted his teeth and said.

"None of your business. Bite me?" Han continued his provocative language.

Seeing that the situation was not looking well, the judge that served the All Gods Corporation finally stepped out and stopped the argument. That helped Heyuan avoid a more embarrassing situation. Heyuan just sneered, and then turned around and left.

Han retrieved his genetic beast army and also backed out of the arena. Then, he was immediately surrounded by his friends.

"Han, you actually carry around a f*cking army?! Look at that Three-Eye's face, it was turning purple. You scared him quite a lot this time."

"Awesome, with your army, we have an even higher chance to pass the Mystic Valley."

Ke Lake frowned and said, "Although the genetic fusion beast army is strong, you still shouldn't reveal your cards too early. As the saying goes, for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not a long wait."

Han just casually replied, "I'm not a gentleman. What ten years, if there's a need to revenge, I will execute it on the spot."

"Holy f*ck, Han I like your personality! Don't worry guys, you guys still have me! Three days later, I will take you guys pass Mystic Valley." Jian Jia was clearly very excited. She rolled up her sleeves, patted herself on the chest like a man and guaranteed.

Three days later, Mystic Valley.

Han mumbled to himself as he tried to find Heyuan, but no traces were found.

Don't know why, Han was still a little worried. The death of his Number beast and the suddenly appearing Three-Eyed race was very surprising. Han smelled the restlessness in the air.

Chapter 296: The Body was Dead, but the Soul Survived

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Han lied on the bed with his eyes closed, relaxed.

Han wasn't sleeping. Once one gets to his level, sleep was not necessary anymore. He was only trying to relax, to soothe the stress that came with thinking too much. Lying on the bed while listening to soft music helps.

Suddenly—

Han's consciousness arrived at a planet that was shaped like a half-moon. Why it was in such a shape was because most of the planet's main body was destroyed, and the remains of battleships now floated around it, just like a graveyard, while the faraway planets formed an eerie black-and-red solar eclipse.

A dark shadow figure sat on a spiked rock a metre away from Han, facing the eclipse with its back towards Han.

Han frowned nonchalantly. Since consuming the Brain of Darkness, he had been having hallucinations like this, with the same eerily fascinating setting and shadow figure.

Han wanted to pinch himself to force himself out of the hallucination, but he couldn't, as if there was a force drawing his consciousness to it.

"This universe, it'll be destroyed one day.", the shadow said, sighing.

"I agree. The stronger intellectual beings are, the stronger their destructive power. The universe will eventually be destructed by these beings.", Han said darkly.

"You agree with me?" The shadow asked curiously.

"Of course, after all I believe in the theory of high intellect causing destruction.", Han says.

"It's all because of those spores.", the shadow says darkly.

"Spores?" Han doesn't understand.

"Yes, the universe had no organisms before some life-carrying spores arrived, life of all kinds—wise, reckless, greedy, sly ones.", the shadow explains.

Han had heard of this legend before, so he was not surprised, only becoming more fascinated by this figure that only existed in his head.

"Who are you?" Han asked.

Swish—

Just as he asked the question, his conscious returned to reality, and the destruction caused by wars disappeared along with the shadow figure.

Han smiled lightly. He was not frustrated by that, only taking an electronic pen to record every detail he remembered, as accurately as possible.

If anyone reads Han's e-notebook, it would be clear that this wasn't the first time that he records his hallucination. The time it happens, the process, the changes in heart rate and blood pressure, up until the summary and conclusion, it was as if he was a scientist performing an experiment.

"Clearly, this is a being that lives in my conscious, a ninety-three percent chance that it's an indestructible soul, and another seven percent that it's some other life form."

"Next time I'll have to test out its reaction to emotions.", Han muttered as he writes.

Ever since possessing the Brain of Darkness, there have been subtle changes in Han's body. His intellectual potential had been fully developed; he not only studied science and martial arts, he was also studying everything in this world, including this being that existed in his brain.

"One day, even if you wouldn't tell me, I will know who you are, where you are from, where you are going.", Han muttered to himself, smiling.

What is fascinating about this universe is not only its breadth, width, or darkness, but the life within, the many different walks of life in the universe.

Somewhere in a corner of the universe, there is a temple built in empty darkness.

This place was somewhat like how legends documented the Temple of Heaven, only that it was not built on clouds but in the starry sky. All there is above and below are stars, even far away where there are colorful star clouds.

The two people who ventured near the human world to look for Han and the Brain of Darkness, and who wore black capes, returned to the corner of the universe, to this temple.

The warriors who guarded this place were not humans but beasts, monsters who were half-human-half-beast.

Han had seen these monsters before at the so-called border warzones of the All Gods Corporation. Powerful energy-walls divided up the universe; on one side lived the All Gods Corporation and other higher beings including humans; the other side was filled with these vicious half-human monsters.

Two figures wearing black capes entered the temple, reporting their discoveries to their boss, the "old man".

And in a corner of this temple was this long corridor, where two girls listened closely to the conversation.

The two girls were very beautiful, in a way that was beyond the conventions of beauty; they both possessed an aura.

This aura, often found only in children under the age of five, made these two girls seem like fairies, their eyes bright, their smiles pure.

Unfortunately, this aura often disappeared with age.

Although these two girls were no longer children, their eyes still possessed that fairy-like sparkle, and even their ears were pointed.

The older girl seemed to be about twenty years old, while the other looked about fourteen to fifteen.

"Kill him! We have to kill him! No matter what!"

"This traitor! Even if we kill him his spirit will remain! This isn't what I want!"

"I want him to die completely! Both his body and soul, everything!"

"Do everything we can! Even at the cost of offending the entire universe, I have to find his soul and destroy it! Completely! There can never be a chance for him to revive!"

The two mysterious figures seem to have predicted the old man's fury, as they merely looked at each other before silently retreating from the temple.

At the same time, the two girls who were hiding also retreated to the backyard.

The older girl clutched her chest. She always had a fair complexion, but now she looked even paler. The younger girl was perplexed.

"Big sister, why do you like that traitor?" the younger girl asks curiously, "Is it because he's good-looking?"

The older girl shook her head, "He doesn't take care of his appearance, so he just looks messy. Even if he's not bad-looking he's still far from being good-looking.".

"Then he must be very good to sister.", the girl says innocently.

The older girl shook her head again, "He's an ambitious person, always busy with his own stuff. Besides, we've only spent a few days together, it's hard to say how well or not he treats me.".

The younger girl frowns a little, "Then I don't understand, he's not good-looking, and he's not that good to big sister, why can't big sister forget him?"

"It's not that I can't forget, it's that I don't dare to,", The older girl looked up at the sky, dark and full of stars.

"I don't know why I fell for that traitor either. Maybe it's because he's different—look at those stars—they are all bright and beautiful, but they all look the same."

"Every day, these stars follow the same path; spring comes, it's there; fall comes, and it's there again."

"Until one day, I encountered a shooting star."

"A shooting star?" The younger girl blinked innocently.

"Yes, shooting stars don't have a fixed path, they go wherever they want to. They glow brightly, never caring to stop for anybody, only fixated on reaching the end of their life."

"I thought for a very long time, and realized that the traitor's my shooting star in life. He speeds past me, so bright, so determined. Even though he didn't stay by my side, I couldn't forget the moment I saw him."

The older girl was lost in her thoughts. The younger one cocked her head, perplexed.

She had seen shooting stars. It was different from every other star in the universe—it doesn't follow a fixed path, only breezing by in your life, but you never know where it was heading to.

The older girl sighs and stood up, walking across the yard and out of the temple.

"Big sister, where are you going?"

"I'm going to look for him."

"But he's dead, only his soul is left."

"Then I have to find his soul.", The older girl's voice was shaky but firm.

"Then I'm going too; I have to see this person that always on my sister's mind, to see what kind of a shooting star he could be.", the innocent girl didn't understand, only blindly following her sister.

"Don't follow me."

"I'll hit you if you keep coming."

The innocent girl only smiled sweetly, taking no notice of her sister's threats.

"Xiaoying, I really don't know what to do with you." The older sister shook her head, seemingly giving up on stopping her sister.

"Remember, we're entering the enemy's land. Even if we're caught, we cannot disclose our identities." The older sister said, stroking the younger girl's hair.

Chapter 297: Trapped on Bridge

Translator: Cucumber Strips Editor: Jacky

Three days later, in Star Lord City.

In the middle of the city, a gigantic Star gate stood straight up, millions of warriors that were selected to enter the Mystic Valley were all gathered here. Soon, they were going to cross through the Mystic Valley. Those who succeeded in crossing through the Valley could then achieve the title of Star Lord, which was the biggest dream of everyone who lived in the Star Lord City.

Those who had the right to participate in the Mystic Valley crossing were all elites out of the warriors, masters of all style of martial arts.

There was no rule for the crossing, as long as you can make it through, you succeed.

If one failed to cross through the Valley, they will lose the right to enter the Mystic Valley within 5 years. Therefore, all the awaiting warriors were very stressed. After all, it was not easy to gain a chance to enter the Mystic Valley, and it was even harder to cross through successfully.

"After entering the Mystic Valley, you all need to follow my order. Head to the east or west as long as I tell you to do so, understand?" Jian Jia talked as if she was the leader of Han's group.

There were approximately more than a hundred people including Han that teamed up.

Most members of the crowd were humans from the Milky Way. Lance, Hei Xiaoli, Ke Lake Ye Weiwei, and ten more people led by the Three Addicts from Oblivion Realm. Moreover, there was also the Milky Way outside force represented by Boya. They all knew each other and Han at the judgement trial, and have been to the border battlefield together.

The main reason for gathering these people from different places is certainly because of Han. However, the one who is in charge of the team was not him, but Jian Jia.

Han didn't say anything on this. Everyone could tell, Jian Jia was born with extraordinary power. She may know some secrets of the Mystic Valley. If they were to fight a bloody battle without knowing anything, why not just let Jian Jia help them. Han felt happy with taking this short cut.

When Jian Jia was giving her well-prepared speech, Han took the time and looked around.

He saw Zhu Yanan. This guy had once tried to kill him, so he was undoubtedly the enemy of Han.

The crew of young people with Zhu Yanan were very strange. They all seemed to have come from aristocratic families, talking and laughing merrily as if having no fear to the Mystic Valley.

They also seemed to recognize Jian Jia, pointing at him and whispering here and there as if staying with people like Han was quite embarrassing.

Han was trying to estimate the power of Zhu Yanan's group. He found that these young people with aristocratic looks actually had formidable strength. Many of them have intensely fluctuating source energy, which obviously belonged to the level of warlords.

In addition to this, they owned excellent equipment and uncommon imposing manner. Han was sure that this group of aristocratic young people were fully educated, equipped with rich resource and were instructed by famous teachers.

Han also saw Heyuan from the Three-eyed Race. He was definitely on the same team with those warriors coming from the same race.

It was the first time for Han to see such concentrated numbers of three-eyed race. What confused him was that only Heyuan opened his third eye among these hundreds of There-eyed Race warriors.

The Mystic Valley Crossing gathered all elites. Han, therefore, inferred that Heyuan was possibly the only one who officially opened his third eye among other three-eyed races in the Star Lord City, but those that would make it to the Star Lord City should all be the most elite people from the Three-Eyed Race

If the inference continues, the result would then be horrifying. The number of those who really activated the third eye among three-eyed races which had claimed themselves to be the god race, maybe was far less than what Han expected.

At this time, Jian Jia has finished her little speech. She came beside Han, followed the sight of Han and said carelessly, "Are you worrying about the guy with three eyes? Don't worry, I'm here."

Han found it funny, but he didn't say anything and just planned something in silence.

Shua~

With the opening of the Star Gate, the Mystic Valley Crossing event that took 7 days officially began. Millions of people started to cross through the Star Gate and entered the Mystic Valley.

"Don't rush, let them go in first." Jian Jia said while holding her arms.

The group waited. The group of aristocratic people with Zhu Yanan seemed not rushed either. They waited until almost everyone entered and started to move. However, Jian Jia still told Han and the others to wait.

"Okay, we can go now. Don't think that you get an advantage if you get into the Star Gate first, Mystic Valley is very complicated. You will soon feel lucky to have me." Jian Jia said with pride.

Finally, Han's group also entered the Star Gate. When they got out of the door, they saw the view of the universe.

Mystic Valley, as for how it's originally called, was actually a star loop. It surrounded a planet in a circular trail. Therefore, crossing through the Mystic Valley was actually traveling around the planet for a full circle. Whether it was to the left or right, it doesn't matter.

"Stop here, I need to check the map." Jian Jia stopped the group again.

At the same time, most of other groups have already begun the journey. They all chose to cross from the right, which was full of red sands and hills.

Jian Jia brought out a complicated machine. Han walked ahead and saw a trail scheme of the Mystic Valley on the screen, it was much clearer than the one Han got from the competition. Nobody had a clue where Jian Jia got this from.

Suddenly~

Without knowing what tricks Jian Jia has done, and a white arrow showed up on the map, like a sort of navigation system.

Jian Jia became so happy, waved to everybody and said, "Everyone follow me now, don't get lost."

Then, Jian Jia ran to the front excitedly with her navigation tool. Everyone followed her closely.

Han lightly frowned, waved his hand to Lance and asked him to come to his side, and then released Silver Fox.

"Don't let Jian Jia find out, you go to the front as a scout, keep ten kilometers from the group," Han said to Lance.

"Got it."

Lance nodded his head, sneaked away quietly and disappeared in the group.

Han also said to Silver Fox, "You little buddy, your mission now is to ensure the contact between Lance and the group. This place is geographically complicated, I need you to be the scout of Lance who is also a scout."

Chi~

Silver Fox tapped its chest, promised to complete the mission and disappeared into Valley as well.

Han also called Hei Xiaolin and Boya

"You two hold the group, make sure nobody is missing," Han told both of them.

"No worries!"

"We can handle this!"

After this, Han released his genetic fusion beast army to keep protecting the group's left and right.

Quietly, a mobile iron bucket array has been formed, set as a defense-purpose base. In any direction, it covered up to three layers of buffers. Additionally, they also have Ke Lake, a strong mobile unit.

Jian Jia was certainly not clear about these tactical aspects of the arrangements. She was simply leading everyone based on the navigation tool.

It was unexpected that under the leading of Jian Jia in the past twenty-four hours, everything seemed to be calm and peaceful, not even a single enemy was yet encountered.

There were several times that Han had seen the floating dust and fierce fighting sounds from the distance, but Jian Jia's navigation system led everyone to bypass the battlefield wisely.

It could be indeed boring to pass through the Mystic Valley like this, but Han thought more simply. He had so many friends and groupmates here. To ensure they were not injured was more important than finding an exciting way to pass through the Valley. Therefore, he was pleased to see Jian Jia leading everyone to follow the smartest route.

Instantly, it turned into the next day. Jian Jia was leading the whole team and had passed over a third of the route. Following this speed, it will take only four to five instead of seven days to pass through Mystic Valley. The efficiency of the navigation system was highly astonishing.

The team now had encountered a black swamp that was braving bubbles. Jian Jia kept leading everyone and finally found a bridge. The bridge was pretty ragged and looked like it's about to collapse.

"You all follow my steps. This bridge has a trap, you will fall if you don't pay attention. There is toxic gas and snakes in the black swamp down there." Jian Jia instructed everyone by the edge of the bridge.

Jian Jia, led everyone by jumping onto the bridge. The surface of the bridge was constructed by some huge square slates. Ones must step on the right slates in order to cross the bridge. The moment someone stepped on a wrong slate, the whole bridge would collapse.

These people were all elites, jumping forward for them was not challenging at all. More than a hundred of people jumping together seemed like a team of grasshopper.

Suddenly, after reaching about fifty kilometers on the bridge, Jian Jia stopped unexpectedly. Everyone had no choice but to wait on the bridge.

Han saw Jian Jia's little face turning pale. He was shocked and asked, "Jian Jia, what's wrong?"

Jian Jia seemed like she wanted to cry but had no tears. Holding the complicated machine, she said, "The navigation…the navigation system suddenly lost signal, I don't know what is the next step now."

Chapter 298: Trap Valley

Translator: Noodletown Translation Editor:

The navigation was out of service!?

Han was shocked. Since they started entering the Valley, Jian Jia's navigation system has been the most reliable tool for the entire team. It has been thirty hours, everyone was safe on the trip and nobody has even encountered a single war.

Everyone was so pleased about this. They all thought they would obtain the title of the Star Lord without any effort, including Jian Jia, which was also how she promised everyone.

However, while everyone was still holding hope, Jian Jia's navigation tool suddenly lost its signal, and now everyone was forced to stay on the ragged bridge.

The bridge was approximately 120 kilometers. Han and all the others were trapped right in the middle of the bridge, which was extremely hard to advance or retreat.

"Don't panic," Han said with a low voice. He then took a light jump and reached right beside Jian Jia.

Jian Jia kept shaking the navigation tool and said with anger, "Damn navigation system, activate now! Right now!"

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Jian Jia shook the tool, the white arrow on the screen seemed not to move even a bit.

"Give it to me," Han said to Jian Jia.

Jian Jia shocked for a second, but passed the tool to Han right away.

Kah~

Han took off the outer layer of the tool swiftly with his equipment, he then started to test the machine rapidly even though it was packed with complicated lines on the inner structures. Later on, he said to the group, "There is nothing wrong with this machine, it just has no signal."

"That's impossible!" Jian Jia said, "The machine was specially made to connect to the terminal of the Dark Net. You see this? My particle module is still functioning."

Jian Jia said to the group, meanwhile trying to take out her particle module. To her surprise, it also ran out of service. No matter how it seemed to be trying to connect with the system but always showed disconnected.

"Disconnected? So are we disconnected to the Dark Net?! How is this possible?!" Jian Jia shouted out of anger.

Unfortunately, things were not going to change. Now, all the sudden, nothing seemed to work in the Mystic Valley, it completely lost the connection with the omnipotent Dark Net.

"What do you think you can do with your complaints? The only thing we can do now is to leave the bridge." Han said in a deep voice, "Can we go back from where we started?"

"No way, it's been fifty kilometers away now, who can still remember the way back? As soon as someone stepped on one single wrong slate, the whole bridge will collapse right away and we would be trapped." Jian Jia strongly disagreed.

"I can remember! As long as you told me if it will be fine if we go back to the starting point!" Han said rigorously. He had no time for any jokes when it's concerning the safety of his teammates.

Jian Jia stared at Han with surprise. More than fifty kilometers of special routes and thousands of nodes! How could Han remember all of these?

Without thinking twice, Jian Jia said, "We can do that, but we must move really fast. The Mystic Valley is also known as the Trap Valley. Everything you see is a trap, including this bridge we are standing on, it is highly possible to activate the trap if we move back to the starting point."

"Alright! Everyone follow me!"

As soon as Han finished his word, the whole group started to return back to the bridge. Han was leading the group along the way they came from without making a single mistake.

Rumbled~

Right when the group just started moving for a while, a loud sound came from the distance. The bridge was collapsing rapidly. It formed a gigantic black wave of smoke that looked like a thousand-meter tall wall. The black marshes were flooding which made everyone felt suffocating.

"Damn! The trap got activated!" Jian Jia's face turned pale.

The Mystic Valley was actually the Trap Valley, everything here can be a trap. You would get into trouble the moment you aren't focused.

It was yet fairly easy to avoid the trap. They have safety routes on all manual traps, as long as the safety routes were found and nothing else was touched, the trap would then not be activated.

Jian Jia has obtained the navigation tool with the power of her family that helped them bypass all the traps. Unfortunately, due to the disconnection of the Dark Net, the navigation tool went out of service.

Pa~

The bridge behind was collapsing. Gigantic black waves were flooding towards the group. Han suddenly sat down, frowning his brows and started to calculate as fast as he could.

"I'm going to fly and take all of you guys out of here with me!" Ke Lake spoke up loudly. He has a strong flying ability that could fly across the sky.

"No, you can't!" Jian Jia said, "it's is a trap here, it's made to block all the super power that's used for short cuts. Once we fly, the second trap will definitely be activated."

Everyone had a long sigh. The trap that's set by All Gods Corporation was to test everybody. It was then certainly not possible to leave any short cuts. The only way to cross through the Valley is to face the challenge of numerous traps.

The bridge was collapsing in a faster pace. At this moment, Han took out a piece of paper, and started to calculate in a rapid speed.

He marked down all the routes they have passed, and was trying to deduce the logic of the roads to calculate which ones are the next safe steps.

Everyone was amazed and went silent.

It has only been a minute, Han had written down numerous complicated formulas and plenty of strange numbers!

Everyone was trying to figure out how his brain works. Remembering the way back was already tough enough yet Han was even able to deduce the following steps!

"I got it! It's the Reverse Molecular Engineering Spiral Algorithm!" Han yelled at the crowd. Meanwhile, he threw away the paper that was full of his calculation results, turned around and ran to the front.

"Everyone follow me now!" Han shouted out loudly.

The group then continued to get back on track. At this moment, there was no any other way besides listening to Han. Everyone was following each single steps of Han based on the trails.

The bridge kept collapsing at a fast rate, yet Han was moving forward at a much faster pace.

Under the leading of Han, the whole group kept moving forward smoothly. Every single movement Han made has always happened to avoid the trap node successfully. The whole group couldn't believe Han actually deduce the pattern of the traps.

Pa~

Pathless Origin caught the sketch of the calculation result that was thrown into the air by Han. He looked at it for a second and said, "This is incredible." He frowned his brows and passed it to Wuyun.

Wuyun also looked at it for a while and passed it to Night Walker while shaking his head, "What a monster."

Night Walker received the sketch, stared at it carefully with tons of questions on his face. He put it away eventually and said, "I have no idea what this is. This guy…is unbelievable."

Shua~

Han took a big jump using all of his strength and finally reached to the other side from the bridge. The remaining group followed behind him.

Rumbled~

The bridge instantly disappeared, and the water wall shaped by the black waves also showed up right in front of everyone. It was about thousand-metre-high. Everyone could now see clearly the complicated traps, venom and disgusting monsters through the water.

All of a sudden,

When the water wall was about to flood over the group, it suddenly stopped several meters away from the crowd.

"Thank God that we have left the bridge already. The traps in the Mystic Valley were indeed terrifying!" Ye Weiwei said, heart beating crazily.

Traps were completely different than battles, they were made for tricking others. If it was on a battlefield, Han could at least control the directions and the rhythms, but this was certainly not the case right now.

"What do we do next?" Jian Jia knocked at the navigation tool as she said with frustration.

Han frowned his brows, said, "Keeping moving forward, we are going to rely on ourselves now."

Chapter 299: The Execution Squad

Translator: Noodletown Translation Editor:

All Gods Corporation, Border.

The Army chief Wude climbed out of the rocks. His ears kept buzzing as if he was hit by thunder.

He rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe what he saw. The border was destroyed, all the Energy Defence Walls could no longer serve protections. All Mountains were razed to the ground and the ground was blown into deep valleys.

After this huge explosion, the border between the All Gods Corporation and the Mass Demon Corporation completely vanished. It was an explosion destroyed both sides of the group. It might be caused by either the Super-pulse bombs or the Gravitational Wave Reversal Attack.

All in all, this explosion changed the current situation of these two corporations. From now on, Mass Demon Corporation could break into the territory of All Gods Corporation any time, and All Gods Corporation can also send their troops to attack the opponents anytime.

During the battles between these two corporations, although minor conflicts never stopped, they have yet encountered any real war. After all, these two corporations shared a similar amount of power that neither of them could completely eliminate each other.

Wude wondered how severe the explosion was. Did it destroy only the border around his vicinity or all borders beyond?

Unfortunately, Wude couldn't contact anyone now. The Dark Net system supported by All Gods Corporation has been cracked irreparably. It lost all the signals and the supramolecular mobility.

"We need to fight till the end!" Wude said, holding up his arms. Those backup soldiers that survived from the explosion also climbed back up and gathered altogether beside the army chief.

Unfortunately, although Wude and his new third corporation troops has high morale, they didn't see any enemy on the battlefield. It seemed like the Mass Demon Corporation just tried to create this explosion to cause chaos, instead of making a chance for the soldiers to break into the territory of All Gods Corporation.

Faced with this situation, Wude was so confused, so were the other soldiers there.

Was all the pay just for opening the tunnel between the Mass Demon Corporation and the All Gods Corporation? What did the enemy want this for?

To invade enemy territory?

That's impossible.

The New Third Corporation Troop didn't receive the order from the chief. They haven't prepared to break into the territory of the Mass Demon Corporation. They all knew that breaking into the territory now without any well thought out preparation is the same as giving up their life.

What Wude could do now was to station and protect the territory, waiting for the technical groups and backup teams to fix the huge crack hole remained on both sides of the border.

This crack hole was undoubtedly fatal for both Corporations, because both sides' supramolecular transmission systems now have the ability to transmit the troops to each other's territory. Is it possible that what the Mass Demon Corporation targeted was not the border, but the territory within the All Gods Corporation?

Ptui~

Wude spat out some blood. The great shake has caused wounds inside of him. As a soldier, he didn't need to worry about politics or battle tricks, what he all needed to do was just maintaining the territory.

On the Galaxy, outside the beautiful spiral arms, somewhere near the wild star region.

An enormous wormhole has opened. Since the Spatial Transition Engine has been invented, there was yet any other forms of transition engine can build such an artificial majestic wormhole.

The wormhole was as wild as the whole galaxy. It was big enough to let an entire ultra-large fleet travel through inside.

Shua~

The first spacecraft carrier traveled out of the wormhole to the outside of the Galaxy. On the deck of the command center, an old man with great demeanor stood with a crown on his head that covered over his third eye.

Facing at the magnificent Galaxy, the old man felt extremely excited. His eyes wide opened as he said with a trembling voice, "Milky Way, our home, we are finally back!"

Wu~

All others on the ship were also excited. As more and more warships travelled out of the wormhole, this unprecedented fleet that was strong enough to crush the entire Milky Way was gradually formed.

Besides the old man, there were also two men in the black cloak that seemed so strange in the command center. They walked to the side of the old man, said in a low voice, "we have done what we have promised. You and your tribe fellows are now back to the Galaxy within less than two years and three months. Now, it's time for you to keep your word.

The three-eye old man nodded lightly. He didn't care who these two people in black were nor where they came from. He only cared how to take control over the Galaxy and wiped out all those inferior human beings.

Speaking of that, Three Eye Race is actually the most pathetic race in the universe. After getting to know the mystery of the Dark Net, they actually started to think about taking over the Dark Net with their limited power.

Unfortunately, this little race was far beyond to be the opponent of All Gods Corporation. After wasting three centuries, Three Eye Race finally came back to the Galaxy as a loser, to a place they have abandoned at the beginning.

Three Eye Race has lost their ambition to control over the Dark Net, they just wanted to kick out all the human beings, and take charge of the Galaxy like before.

At that time, those two suspicious men in the black cloak arrived. They claimed they had the ability to shorten the time for Three Eye Race to travel back to the galaxy by setting up an ultra-large wormhole.

This idea was quite tempting to the Three Eye Race. If they kept moving ahead by themselves, it would take more than two years for the ship to travel back to the Galaxy. Instead, with the help of these guys, it would only take several minutes.

Therefore, a secret deal has been made. Those men in black helped the Three Eye Race return quickly, and the rest of the Three Eye Race would provide assistance for them in the Mystic Valley.

"I'm so curious though, the Dark Net's connection has been cut off, how do you guys contact the rest of those in the Valley?" The guy in black asked.

"It's simple, we use our third eye." The old man with the crown on his head said.

He then removed the golden crown from his head. There was an obvious crack on his forehead.

He closed his eyes lightly, meanwhile, his third eye slowly opened.

The magical third eye exuded a bright glow like a dazzling pearl.

Shua~

The old man opened wide his arms as his body slowly began hovering over the deck. The glow from his third eye also became more and more prominent and mystical.

"Oh, It's the spiritual contact. The universe is indeed full of different things. Three Eye Race could pass the message using their third eye to avoid the long distance. This is incredible." One man in the black cloak nodded and said.

Another one said, "I don't think their third eye is that simple, there must be something else they can do with it."

After a while, the old man reached back to the floor. He looked slightly exhausted and said, "I have notified my crew in the Mystic Valley, they would set up the induction array soon and would let your army enter the Valley."

The man in black smiled and said, "Not the army, it's the Execution Squad,"

"The Execution Squad? The old man asked, "whatever, as long as you guys keep your promise and leave Han's dead body to us."

"Don't worry," the man in black said, "we don't need his body, we only want his dead soul."

At a secret place in the deep side of the universe, the Mystic Valley belonging to All Gods Corporation was also known as the Circular Trap Valley.

The team of Three Eye Race actually didn't head out yet but were just looking for somewhere to hide and wait for the order from the headquarters.

At this moment, Heyuan has received the message through the third eye sent by the chief of the Three Eye Race. He then took out a piece of pyramid-looking thing from the dimensional ring.

The thing he was looking for can somehow form an induction array. It was very small and delicate but also carried a strong controllable fusion energy.

Heyuan put this induction array on the ground and then turned it on.

Shua~

A space gate appeared in a flash. The space tunnel was small enough to avoid the capture of any radar.

A group of warriors in a black cloak came out from the space gate. They were all in armors and masks which looked merciless.

"I knew it! The soul of the betrayer is right here. We have to destroy it as soon as possible and let the old man know once we go back." The leading man in black raised his head, said indifferently, "this goddamn betrayer was actually hiding in the All Gods Corporation. We spent such great effort, and even took the risk to enter the territory of Mass Demon Corporation just to catch him."

"The betrayer is always tricky." Another man in black said.

It was said, they were the mysterious Execution Squad. They came here for killing a soul. Although Heyuan has got the message from the chief, he was still deterred by the atmosphere brought by those warriors. There were eleven people in total, and all of them looked like they came from hell.

Heyuan led the warriors from the Three Eye Race and followed behind the Execution Squad.

According to the agreement, the Execution Squad would kill the soul called "betrayer" which was attached inside of Han. Heyuan, on the other hand, would then get the body of Han.

Chapter 300: Code Name – Mad Dog

Translator: Noodletown Translation Editor:

In the Mystic Valley, after the broken bridge was the glacier. The ice locked down thousands of miles of lake surface, which looks very smooth like a mirror on the surface, but the fact is, danger lurked everywhere under the surface.

Han led the team and sprinted on the ice lake. The ice surface is covered in white snow, but under the white snow are hidden cracks. Although look harmless, there was constant danger for someone's step to break the surface.

Shua~

A group of people followed behind Han's group. They suddenly appeared from the edge of the ice lake, and they cunningly thought, with Han's group leading in the front, even if there's danger, Han's group would be the first one to encounter, so they decided to follow them.

Han turned around, lightly sighed. Without question, they won't be able to live, because they didn't follow from the very start but was joining in from the side and wanted to cut behind Han. But, that area they took short cut in, is death.

Rumbled~

Sure enough, right when this group was about to join in Han's group from rear, the ice surface suddenly shattered, and a few giant prehistoric crocodiles jumped out of the surface. These crocodiles with shark-like tail fin were very ferocious, they leaped at least a hundred meters high into the air and swallowed those unlucky soldiers in one go.

Everyone watched with a frightened heart, all being glad to have Han leading the way. It's not hard to see from the adventure on the bridge that Han has extraordinary keen sense of judgment towards traps and danger.

If one wants to cross the Mystic Valley, the path is key, and finding the safest route requires large amount of thinking and calculating.

Changing the lead from Han to Jian Jia, the only difference is that the speed slowed down a lot. Jian Jia doesn't need to calculate and the navigator would automatically point her to the safest route, but Han requires thinking and calculation in order to draw the final conclusion.

The path through the ice lake, it took Han a full two hours to complete.

In spite of this, everyone was still very impressed. It's not that there's no math experts on the team, WUyun and Night Walker has a very strong foundation in mathematics, but knowing the math is not the only thing needed to calculate a path. One still needs to grasp powerful logic reasoning, and in this regard, Han is clearly the expert.

Crossing the ice lake was fairly smooth over all, but suddenly, Han felt an illusion inside his brain. That black shadow that already had its back towards him, he appeared again, and is completely uncontrollable by Han, as if he lives inside Han's brain.

"We need to leave this place now." The black shadow said.

Han used his spiritual consciousness and asked, "Why?"

"Because the enemies are near."

"Enemies from the Three-Eye Race?"

"Three Eye Race is only minor, it's mainly the enemies from the Mass Demon Corporation."

"Mass Demon Corporation? That the f*ck is that damn thing?!" Han was getting a little anxious. This soul has lived in his brain like a parasite for a long time now, but Han still doesn't know anything about him.

"They are one of the main enemies of All Gods Corporation."

"Just stop talking! After we cross this glacier, tell me everything you know! I don't want to just die without even knowing how I died!" Han shouted at the black shadow in the spiritual world.

Immediately, Han waved towards the front and shouted, "From now on, full speed ahead!"

Milky Way, Earth.

Due to Han's influence in the Wild Star Region Undercurrent Fortress, as will as the Explorer Clan Ancient Maple Leaf's good relationship with Han, at the moment Three Eyed Race landed in the Wild Star Region, the Earth Military already received the news.

From Long Chuan to Old Mo, everyone's face became pale.

The video sent back from the scout satellite is very clear, that's a man-made worm hole that's even bigger than a star system, and what crossed the worm hole was a super fleet made of millions of big and small star ships, even the number of flagships alone exceeded ten thousand.

What's even more terrifying is, no one knows whether this fleet is the main force of the Three Eye Race or maybe just their vanguard.

The real-time communication with the robot legion at the distant Twin Horse Galaxy began, and the five robot leaders appeared on the screen to communicate with Earth.

Although they are robots, but whether it's Raksha or Source, or learning robot's leader Hefeng, they are all equipped with high level artificial intelligence, and the situation doesn't look too optimistic even by these robots' judgement.

Source reported, "According to the contingency plan developed by Han in advance, our army at the Undercurrent Fortress have began gathering with our allies from the Head-Hunter Clan and Ancient Maple Leaf, and we will try to retreat to the Twin-Horse Galaxy as soon as possible."

"At the same time, the Oblivion Realm had already communicated with us, Protector Chuli promised that his people will fully retreat to Twin-Horse within one week at the latest."

"I suggest, immediately issue the highest assembly order, levy all ships that can be levied, evacuate Earth citizens at full speed."

Li Yu let out a long sigh, grabbed his hair and asked, "How much time do we still have left?"

Source replied, "Very fortunately, the boarding point this time for the Three Eyed Race is the Wild Star Field on the outskirt of Milky Way, so based on estimation, at most within ten days, this giant fleet will officially invade Milky Way, and the time it takes to reach Earth will not exceed three weeks."

"If our estimation is correct, the Milky Way Alliance will for sure abandon the outskirts of the Milky Way and gather all of its main army near Star Sector 12, which also means, before the Three Eye Race enters Sector 12, they will not encounter any threat."

"In other words, the decisive battle will take place within the third to fourth month"

Everyone let out a long sigh. But, although three or four months sounds like a lot of time, but in reality for the Milky Way Society, it's just a breathing time.

The fastest starship will take 5 whole months to cross the Milky Way. If the final battle will take place after three months, then only a small proportion of the people can escape from Milky Way.

The robot legion's chief combat commander Raksha said, "The reality lies before us, and the only question now is, whether we should strike back once near Earth. Now we are unable to contact Han, and according to the agreement we signed with Han, under this situation, Earth Military will become the chief in command, and our Robot Legion will completely follow the command of the Earth army."

Long Chuan smiled bitterly, the pressure placed on him is enormous. There are two warlords in Earth's army, Han and Ke Lake, and there are two chief commanders, Han and Long Chuan. Now without Han being here, the stress and pressure placed on Long Chuan increased significantly.

Pouted, Long Chuan quickly began analyzing the current situation with a very calm tone, and this is also the reason why Han really trusts Long Chuan. He's not only a great fighter, but his wisdom is also extraordinary.

"In fact, the plan has long been set by Han, but we just did not expect that the enemies would come this quickly."

"So, the question isn't hard to solve. We just need to think, if Han's here today, with his personality, will he easily let the enemies stomp over his hometown?"

"Of course not!" Li Yu shouted, "For Earth, Han almost died many times! Today's Earth was almost exchanged with his life! He for sure wouldn't be willing to let the enemy occupy Earth."

Long Chuan said, "That's also what I thought. If Han's here, with his personality, he will fight for sure! He will fight even if he can't win!"

"But, with his personality, he also wouldn't want his brothers to die in vain. So my guess is, Han wouldn't want our two legions fight a full-on positional warfare with the Three Eye Race, but only let us launch sneak attacks and stab them from the back."

Talin smiled, nodded and said, "That's right. With Han's personality, if the enemies is going to stomp over his home but not leave something behind, he won't agree for sure."

Long Chuan said in a deep voice, "So, the situation now is very simple. Earth can be given to the damn Three Eye Race, but they have to leave behind a pile for corpses for us!"

"My decision is, don't use flagships or other large warships, but position agile fleets hidden in the vicinity of Earth. Once the Three Eye Race passes, we will let out the fleet and bite them with full strength from he back! We won't stop until we see blood from the bite!"

"This plan's code name, Mad Dog!"

Chapter 301: Name of the Dark King

Translator: Noodletown Translation Editor:

Under Han's lead, the team passed through the glacier at full speed.

"Everyone take a break here, I need to think what to do next." Han told the team. He then came to a rock and sat down, talked to the mysterious buddy in his brain. Everyone thought Han was thinking so no one disturbed him.

Shua

Han's consciousness went into the world of another, he finally saw clearly the image of the soul that was hidden in his own brain. It was not specifically ugly, yet not relatively good-looking. It came with two pointy ears. Other than that, it looks pretty much the same as a regular human-being.

"If I guess it right, you are the Dark King." Han said in a deep voice.

The person nodded his head and said "Dark King was how you guys named me. My actual name is Luyao, and I'm from the Mass Demon Corporation that opposes the All Gods Corporation."

"Of course, that was a long time ago. I don't belong to any group or organization now. The partners in the group that I used to work with in the past even treated me as their enemies.

"Then why you still come to the Galaxy?" Han asked again.

Luyao said, "Long time ago, I rebelled against the Mass Demon Corporation and escaped. They even tried to chase and kill me. By one accident, I found out a special power that exists in the Milky Way, so I came here for that power."

"At that time, the Milky Way was yet the world of human beings. Three Eye Race, which was the most powerful race among all humankind, controlled the Galaxy. You all as human beings could only be allowed to engage in some cheap labour work, the vast majority even lived outside of the Galaxy with cautions."

"In the beginning, I didn't take Three Eye Race as a threat, but I did underestimate the guy with the three eyes. His third eye has a threatening power that could threaten my soul directly."

"Even though I was really confident, I eventually lost in the team battle against the powerful rivals from Three Eye Race. But remember, it was a team battle, and if it was only a battle for one-to-one, no one can be my rival."

"Three Eye Race locked me down and started conducting experiments on me. My dark power was really strong and mystical to them. They even gave me a name—human weapon. They thought my power was developed after birth, but I couldn't be bothered to explain to them, I just let them say whatever they wanted."

"Afterwards, they found out about the power of the Dark Net. However, none of them believed the Dark Net was undefeatable. Instead, they thought it must be developed by an intelligent species, and could be connected to the real world. As long as the entrance of the Dark Net was found, the most mysterious system in the universe then could be manipulated."

"Therefore, the ignorant Three Eye Race started their long journey and invested all of their energy from the tribe. However, since I have the dark power, they treated me as a threat. They didn't dare to bring me on the journey, so they locked me in a secretive base."

"Times went by, after Three Eye Race left, the humans started to grow faster and stronger and became the dominants in the Galaxy. You guys even unlocked the secretive base that contained me and released me."

"I slaughtered, slaughtered with all my might."

"You guys were really unlucky, you all looked basically the same as the Three Eye Race. I have been harmed by them for a long time, I certainly had to take my revenge!"

"That's why I killed all the humans that I saw! I almost killed all of the elite warriors out of the human race."

"During the killing, I found out human beings are different than the Three Eye Race. You guys lack a gene mutation that could cause a gap on your forehead, which made you not be able to develop the third eye."

"Unfortunately, when I found out the differences, most of the elite warriors in your tribe were almost gone."

"When I decided to leave the galaxy and go to other places, I encountered the bloody dark hole and got swallowed. I was distorted by the space power, but my strengths were still saved. They gathered together into seven black crystals, and my soul could live eternally in the brain of darkness."

"And then you know what happened next. You acquired my dark power and absorbed the brain of darkness, so that my soul had no choice but became automatically locked into your brain."

Han nodded his head, said, "I know most of the things now, but you haven't explained why the Execution Squad wanted to kill you?"

Luyao said, "Because I disclosed their real identity. All Gods Corporation or Mass Demon Corporation? They told the world they created the Dark Net. In fact, they barely had the ability to do that."

"What is the slogan of the All Gods Corporation?"

Han thought for a while, said "The path of All Gods, Transform you to God."

"Do you know the slogan of the Mass Demon then?" Luyao asked Han again.

Han shook his head.

"The path of Mass Demon. Transform you to Demon!" Luyao said.

Han was shocked. These two slogans were so identical, was it really just a coincidence?

"These two liar groups, they are not the creator of the Dark Net but simply just owned a part of it by coincidence." Luyao said with madness.

"I started spreading my discovery within the Mass Demon Corporation, shaking everyone's faith towards them, so it would be unreasonable if they don't hate me to death!" Lu Yao said with strong hatred.

Han asked, "That's why they sent the Execution Squad to try to kill you? But you are already just only a soul left, how can they still kill you?"

Luyao shook his head, sighed and said, "They can't kill me, but they can kill you and then force my soul out of your brain."

Han said, "So I basically got dragged into this because of you then?"

Luyao said, "Dragged into this? Don't forget that part of the reason why you have such great accomplishments and honours today is because of me. If you were living without my dark power which had been stored for tens of thousands of years, you think you can become the top warrior in such a short period?"

Han thought for a while, agreed what he said. If it wasn't because of Luyao, he wouldn't reach the level where he is now. It was impossible to get to the level of a warlord in such a short time even if he was born with extraordinary talents.

"Then what should we do next? How powerful is the Execution Squad?"

Luyao lowered his voice, "What else do you think we should do? Leave, and pray for ourselves that All Gods Corporation wouldn't lose the control of the Mystic Valley. As being the enemy of Mass Demon Corporation, All Gods Corporation is the only one that has the power to fight against the navigation team.

"By that means, is the navigation team really that powerful? Han asked.

"Powerful is such an insulting word for them. They are the real executioners. If I keep the power that I used to have at my pinnacle state, I might still be able to battle with them, but now…"

"I saw you are treating your friends really nice, that's why I suggest you leave. Otherwise, they would be dragged into this too."

Han frowned and said, "We have over a hundred people, who are elites of all forms. Are they still not enough to fight against the Execution Squad?"

"Fight against?!" Luyao said, "Do you know how many of your elites I have killed alone back in the days?"

Han stopped talking. He knew that the last Luyao showed up, he killed billions of warriors, including those elites with extreme power throughout that generation! He killed all of them by himself!

If everyone on the Execution Team has such power, it is impossible to stop them by fighting with his own team.

"But speaking of this, there might be a person in the Mystic Valley that has the power to fight against the Execution Team, since I realized he should have a similar but rare superpower that you have."

"Unfortunately, this person is not your friend, instead he might really dislike you."

"Who do you mean?" Han asked, crinkling up his eyebrows.

"Sima Hunfeng." Luyao murmured "Seems like the legend was right, the less powerful the race was like the human race, the more possible for it to give birth to an extraordinary warrior. You are an example, as well as Sima Hunfeng."

Han shook his head. He knew there's no way that Sima Hunfeng was going to help him. That guy was even trying to hunt down his three teachers.

"Leave now, if you don't want to get others into trouble. No one can help you this time." Luyao said.

Woo~

A bright flash occurred suddenly, at the same spot where the Execution Squad and the Three Eye race landed, two girls showed up. These two girls have beautiful looking faces, water-like smooth skin, black gem-like eyes, long soothing hair and two pointy ears.

"Sister, I'm so scared. It's Execution Squad, can we leave this place?" The innocent, younger girl stayed behind her sister and spoke in a low volume, "Sister, the Execution Team has arrived, the one that you think day and night, won't be able to survive, won't be able to survive."

The older girl's eyes were also filled with fear, her face turned pale.

But she bit her teeth, straightened up her chest, and said, "No, I can't leave. this is my last chance, I don't want to live under fear anymore. Even though there is only one second, I am still going to stay with the person that I love."

"Sister, you are so foolish!" The younger girl started crying.

The older sister brushed her sister's hair gently, and said in a quiet voice, "One day, you'll know, there will be someone that you will not replace even with the whole universe. There will be some relationships that you will not give up even in front of death."

"Luoying, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

"Sister!!!"

"Forget about me."

"But sister!!!"

"Sister is leaving now…"

Chapter 302: Departure

Translator: Noodletown Translation Editor:

"Let me check on Han. He's so quiet all of a sudden." Lance frowned and said to the group.

After a minute, Lance came back with his mouth wide open in disbelief, his hands holding a letter. Not only that, he led two fusion beasts, numbers eight and thirteen.

Shua—

Everyone's eyes focused on Lance, while Lance gulped and with a hoarse voice said, "Han is gone."

"What are you bluffing about?"

"I'm not bluffing, see for yourself. This is Han's message for us."

Jian Jia snatched the letter from Lance's hands, where Han wrote that he had to leave due to special reasons. He had left numbers eight and thirteen, who had stronger sensing capabilities and could help the group identify threats.

Han also said that he was sorry he could not help them any further, and that he hoped everyone could get out of Mystic Valley safely.

Jian Jia finished reading the letter. Everyone was stunned. Han was undoubtedly the leader, the backbone of the group, and now he left without saying a word? Why? What should everyone do now?

Jian Jia dumped the letter onto the ground and stomped on it angrily, shouting, "Han! You irresponsible prick! How dare you leave us alone! I won't believe that anything urgent just came up right now, liar!"

Everyone knew that Jian Jia was a little girl, only she would not admit it and everyone else stayed quiet about it.

But just now she accidentally used the female pronoun for herself, making her gender even more obvious.

"Han's not an irresponsible person!" Many people were upset by Jian Jia's curses, but the first person to stand up for Han turned out to be the quiet Ke Lake. With a stern face, he bellowed, "Han, irresponsible? If he were irresponsible our planet would have stopped existing ages ago! It's he who single-handedly saved the Earth from the verge of darkness!"

"If I had a say, Han's biggest problem isn't that he's irresponsible, it's that he cares about 'responsibility' too much! He'd rather sacrifice himself than hurt us!"

Jian Jia pouted and said, "Then how do you explain his sudden departure?"

Ke Lake said, "Because he has something more important than leading us out of Mystic Valley".

Displeased, Jian Jia said, "You must be a fool to believe that. Everything was fine, why would he have something else important to do?!"

Ke Lake was stubborn, "I don't care! Either way I trust Han! If he said he had something important to do, he did! You know nothing about Han, woman!"

Ke Lake's sexist comment angered Jian Jia, she yelled, "Yes, I know nothing and you do! So now that Han's gone, what do we do?"

"Of course we go look for him! What kind of brother would I be if I didn't?" Ke Lake took on a sharp gaze, "Lance, you take over the ground and I'll be in the sky. We have to find Han no matter what, I'm worried".

Lance nodded gravely, and Wuyun adds, "I'll disperse the Spider Legion so that we could do a blanket search".

Blue-blooded man Boya said, "I have some friends in other teams, I'll let them know so that once Han is seen we'll know".

Jian Jia suddenly realized how alone she was in this situation; she did not expect these guys to trust Han so much.

Hmph!

Ignoring Lance and other people who wanted to go after Han, Jian Jia turned around to leave. Her prestigious upbringing and stubbornness did not allow her to admit that she had misunderstood Han. Ye Weiwei wanted to stop her, but failed.

Pride and prejudice were indeed fatal failings of humanity. Even though Jian Jia knew she went overboard with her anger-fueled words, and that the others judged Han correctly, she just wouldn't admit defeat.

Despite Han's departure and the team's subsequent fallout, Jian Jia did not leave alone. The four guards that her family sent had always been so inconspicuous they were unnoticeable, but they were immensely loyal to Jian Jia.

"Was I wrong?" Jian Jia asked the guard.

"No, miss".

"Dammit Han, I wasn't mad that he left, it's that he left without a word! Why wouldn't he just tell me? With my identity and status I could solve anything for him, but this proud guy had to bear everything on his shoulders, like he's the hero and we're all dumbos—that's why I was mad!" Jian Jia's little face was stern.

The guards were at a loss of words. So Han being responsible was a problem?

"You left pretty determinedly", Luyao whispered in Han's consciousness, "Only now your friends would blame you".

Han frowned a bit, "Forget it, being blamed wins over getting them killed".

Luyao nodded slightly, "I'm trying to think of a skill set that caters to your ability, maybe it could aid you".

Han smiled bitterly, "You're only thinking of me now? I think it's too late".

Luyao said, "it's better to have something than nothing at all; while living in your brain I've been thinking about your Six Paths of the Void, and there should be one more Path that lets you integrate all you've learnt already. For some reason your teacher didn't tell you that".

Han replied, "You mean Pathless Origin? No way, he's a man with integrity. Maybe he himself did not know that; after all, although he taught me the Six Paths, he had only mastered the first five, up until the Path of Demon".

Luyao said, "That's possible. Let me think…lets retreat while studying the final Path of the Six Paths of the Void; I think what it wants to achieve goes beyond merely mastering the skill, but what is it?"

"To be honest, I've always considered myself to be a genius and have learnt so much throughout the years, but the Six Paths of the Void could be the most wicked skill set I've encountered. The Six Paths do not develop one after the other naturally, but are contradictory. For example, if you mastered the Path of God, you would be upsetting the Path of Man; if you mastered the Path of Demon, then the Path of God would be disrupted, and every disruption pushes you towards a new level".

"If you get the chance, you should ask Pathless Origin where the Six Paths of Void originated from. I feel that even though it emerged in this insignificant galaxy, its origins must be extraordinary".

Han nodded, "If we live, I will ask him. By the way, how much time do we have?"

Luyao said gravely, "Judging from your speed and theirs, within twelve hours we'll encounter the Execution Squad. In other words, unless the All Gods Corporation regains control over Mystic Valley in the next twelve hours, we'll be gone".

At the headquarters of All Gods Corporation—

Mr. Shui, Jian Jia's mysterious father, ran from the Mechanics Department like a crazy man, hair loosened, eyes red and his gaze sharp like he was ready to kill.

"I don't care! I don't care if the Particle Module is overload! Do whatever it takes to regain control over Mystic Valley! Or else!" Mr. Shui yelled hoarsely, without turning his head.

Seeing the usually calm and polite Mr. Shui angry made the staff at the Mechanics Department duck their heads.

"What's with Mr. Shui? Throwing such a tantrum, like he's going to eat us".

"Sigh, if not all for his daughter".

"Mr. Shui's daughter? Jian Jia Shui?"

"That's her".

"But everyone knows her status, who would harm her?"

"I heard she's stuck in Mystic Valley because something went wrong with the Particle Module, and it's apparently because the Mass Demon Corporation cast a Directional Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Wave that not only destroyed the border, but also wrecked the Module engines and communication devices".

"The Mass Demon Corporation? Then Mr. Shui should be going to the Defence Department for help instead! It's not like the Mechanics Department deals with foreign affairs".

"You thought he hadn't? That's where Mr. Shui came from; I heard even Military Lord Kabri got a stern scolding. I only hope Ms. Jian Jia's fine, or else it wouldn't just be Mr. Shui—all hell would break lose if the Shui family's "old monster" knew about it."

"Yeah, after all it is the Shui family".

Chapter 303: Unreliable Teammates

Translator: Noodletown Translation Editor:

It has been more than ten hours since Han left the team. He moved at a rapid pace and didn't encounter any other teams on his way. However, Han was pessimistic about the whole situation, because he could already feel the intense murderous atmosphere behind him.

Although Han hadn't seen the Execution Squad yet, he could feel that they were reaching swiftly based on the atmosphere and blood odor spread in the air. The feeling was extraordinary, as what Luyao said, the Execution Squad was an undefeatable existence.

Han saw a river from a distance. The river was broad and fast-flowing with water dark yellow in color.

A large group of people was gathering at the river. It seemed like they were hesitating about whether and how to cross the river.

Han saw Zhu Yanan in the group. It turned out that they were just those noble brats coming from the aristocratic families. Similar to Jian Jia, they must be using some type of navigation system to pass through all the traps. No wonder they could move forward so fast and leave other teams far behind.

Zhu Yanan also saw Han. He yelled at him, "How come there is only you, where is Jian Jia?"

Han shook his head and indicated he had no clue. In the past ten more hours, he was exhausted from leaving. He didn't have the time nor the intention to contact the rest of the others in the group.

Zhu Yanan suddenly became furious, and shouted at Han, "Did Jian Jia die because of you? You guys were together before, why there is only you now?!"

Han didn't respond. He had no time for this.

Zhu Yanan was more convinced the death of Jian Jia after seeing the reaction of Han. He shouted at those noble people, trying to convince them that Han was a malicious man that had evil intentions to stay with Jian jia, and now has even left Jian Jia to death.

These young noble crews knew Jian Jia was with Han. They were curious why Han was by himself now. They approached altogether and looked at Han with hostility.

"I think we need an explanation. We didn't like Jian Jia but at least she is Mr. Shui's daughter. Mr. Shui is our admirable elder and has a close bond with our family. If Jian jia had truly died because of you, we wouldn't let this slide easily." A man in a silver armor that was slightly older in the crew said to Han, frowning his brows.

"I didn't kill Jian Jia." Han said.

"Then where is she?"

"I don't know."

"Huh? What do you mean you don't know? I feel like you are messing with us."

"Think whatever you want, I don't have time for this."

"Give me an answer! Go, everyone, go get him! We will let you go once we make sure Jian Jia is safe. Otherwise, we will take you to Mr. Shui."

Apparently, the guy in the silver armor was the leader of the group. Overall, his mind was still calm compared to others. He didn't believe that Han killed Jian Jia, but since Han was really suspicious, there shouldn't be any problem to detain him at the moment.

Rumble~

In the distance, a black mountain collapsed. Undoubtedly, the one with such power could only be the Execution Squad.

Han suddenly smiled and said, "Fine, I'm your slave now, I will go with you."

No one understood why Han suddenly became so obedient. Luyao didn't get it either and began yelling from the inside of Han's brain, "Run, Han! What are you waiting for?! The Execution Squad is almost here!"

Han also replied back in his mind, "Run? Where can I go now? I'm going to die anyway, I want to die at least with some dignity."

Luyao was shocked, he stopped saying anything.

He knew Han would not have the ability to fight against the Execution Squad. Although Han has his Void End, Genetic Beast Army, and lots of other tricks, they were not strong enough to keep Han surviving till the end. The Squad came with a whole team of executors, the most powerful group in the Mass Demon Corporation.

The young man in silver armor was also shocked. He waved and said unkindly, "Tie him up. Some of you go check what happened on the hills over there and find out who's over there."

Han shook his head and said, "You don't need to tie me up. There are so many of elites here, and you are worried that I will flee away?"

The aristocratic crew seemed to agree. They were all heirs of famous teachers and were well-instructed. It would be such a shame if they couldn't even keep Han.

Han looked behind and said, "You don't need to check, I know who they are."

"Who?"

"The Execution Squad from the Mass Demon Corporation."

Boom~

Right after Han finished his sentence, everyone's face in the noble crew turned pale. They had definitely heard of this notorious squad.

Han saw Zhu Yanan start shaking and sweating like a wimp.

In fact, there were only a few people in the aristocratic group who were in slightly better condition than Zhu Yanan. Although being born in a noble family did guarantee them more resources and better growth, but at the same time, they were more afraid of losing their life. Unlike Han who was born with nothing, he didn't even fear the threat of death. He knew that it would eventually happen to anyone.

"Luoyi, use your vision technique to check who they are!" The young man in silver armor said with some character of a general.

Soon, the blonde-hair Luoyi said frighteningly, "It's really a team from the Mass Demon Corporation! I felt the intensity that they might indeed be the Execution Squad."

Zhu Yanan went crazy after hearing that. He grabbed Han's hand tightly and shouted at him, "Goddamn it! What the heck did you do? How come this squad is coming here?! We all are going to die!"

Han said it back emotionlessly, "Does it matter how they are coming now?"

The young in silver armor was surprised, and then he said calmly, "You're right, why they are coming is not important, what matters is they are the enemy!"

"Everyone, be ready to fight!"

Zhu Yanan seemed like he didn't have the resolve to fight back. He kept holding Han, "You! You attracted the squad here and that's why Jian Jia was killed, right?! You bloody freak!"

Shua~

Han suddenly twisted his wrist and pushed off Zhu Yanan, and then he said coldly, "Wimp, stay away from me. Jian Jia didn't die, I distracted the Execution Squad away from them and let Jian Jia escaped towards another direction with others."

Some people began looking down upon Zhu Yanan, he did indeed embarrass himself today which did not match his noble identity. Especially the young man in the silver armor. He spat on the floor, and clearly snorted at Zhu Yanan.

"My name is Carmen." The man in silver armor reached out his hand, trying to shake with Han.

"Han, H-A-N." Han shook his hand with him with a smile.

Although other young noblemen were also frightened of the Execution Squad, they still kept their calm. For all the education they have taken, they have learned that no matter what happens, they cannot lose their dignity in front of fear.

"Great! These young people are all decent fighters. If you can work well together, we might be able to save a bit more time." Luyao murmured in Han's head.

Han cringed, most of these noble people were top warriors and were taught by well-known masters. However, even with such power, Luyao still thought that the most they could do was to only save some time. The Execution Squad was indeed terrifying.

Honestly, the one with the least fear out of everyone was Han. Since he didn't know who the Execution Squad was before, it would make more sense to explain why he had no fear. As the old saying goes, they that know nothing fear nothing, and also, ignorance is a bless.

On the contrary, since those young noblemen have heard of many horrible things done by the Squad, they were frightened before even seeing them.

The enemies were finally approaching. They all dressed weirdly, all of them were in black armors, black cloaks, and colored masks, without showing any parts of the body, just like a bunch of robots.

Yet, the weapons they carried with them were quite distinctive. Everyone came with a gigantic, black beast-skin-wrapped blade on either their back or their shoulder. Each blade is around three meters long and half meter wide, looking like a huge slate.

Their masks were also in shapes of different animals including apes, pythons, bears, leopard and so much more.

The intense atmosphere felt like brutal wind blowing through everyone's body. Before the fight started, Han already felt his muscles twitching and tingling. He had to push up his chest to keep his head up. The lethal atmosphere made Han and the noble crew look like little chicks that were waiting to be slaughtered.

The Execution squad was moving closer and closer with their gigantic blades, walking without any facial expression.

Han could see how everyone, including Carmen in the group, was shivering.

"Black Cloak, Beast Face, Ghost Head, Silent Kill! It can't be wrong. They are definitely the Beast Sector Execution Squad under Mass Demon Corporation!"

"Damn it, they finally came!"

A few bold men in the crew murmured. Carmen kept silent, sweating all over his face.

"I don't want to die yet! I still have to become the hier of my family!"

Zhu Yanan was the first one to turn around and flee. His action caused a butterfly effect that more and more people in the crew started to follow him and run to the river behind them. They didn't even care whether there were traps in the river since nothing could be more devastating than the Execution Squad under the Mass Demon Corporation.

"All of you, come back!" Carmen said with anger and frustration, "We can't lose our dignity for our family even if we die!"

Zhu Yanan kept on sprinting, and replied, "So what if we lose dignity? It's more important to survive!"

Carmen and some remaining others in the crew who have more guts tried to run to the river to hold back their teammates, yet they also slowly disappeared in the river. Then, Han was the only one standing there.

"Indeed, they are not my own brothers, they can't be relied on." Han said with a bitter smile.

Han also wanted to run away, but his mind told him that it would make no difference. Running away now was just wasting his time and losing his dignity.

Although terrified, Han still decided to face it.

He slowly pulled out the Star-Strangling Boa from Lunar Mark, and pointed the triple-edged blade was towards the ground…

Chapter 304: The Man with the Biggest Balls in the Galaxy

Translator: Noodletown Translation Editor:

Facing the legendary Execution Squad, Han was fully prepared. He looked into the distance with his blade facing down.

Hundreds of meters away, the Execution Squad stopped moving forwards. They stuck their scary blades into the ground.

Shua~

Heyuan from the Three Eye Race suddenly jumped out and said to Han with a tricky smile, "What a surprise that we meet again, right?"

"But what might make you surprise more is that our race's star fleet has already traveled into the Galaxy fourteen hours ago. Our vanguard troops have already seen the beautiful arms of the Galaxy. Without much time, we will become the owner of the Galaxy again! You all as human beings would then just be killed and removed from the Milky Way forever.

"That's impossible!" Han was extremely shocked.

Heyuan said, "That's what I believed too, but now it is the truth. The Mass Demon Corporation created a gigantic Hyperspace Transitional channel with a part of the Dark Net they controlled so that our star fleet can directly travel to the periphery of the Milky Way."

"It's been three centuries since our Race came back! Right now, we are going to take over the Galaxy where my ancestors belonged, and become the rightful owner of this place again!"

"To be precise, it's where OUR ancestors belonged," Han said.

"Shut up!" Heyuan shouted out of anger, "How do you as such a powerless human have the qualification to share this pride with my ancestors? You all haven't even been through any genetic mutations. What a shame to be in the Galaxy! I can't believe you guys still exist. With all the power that you have, you are as weak as an ant!"

"If we were ants, we would be at least killer ants!" Han yelled back furiously.

Heyuan took several steps back. He was surprised how angry Han was at the moment. He could even see Han's eyes being bloodshot.

It would totally make sense why Han had such a reaction. Three Eye Race has brought a lethal threat to the Milky Way with the power of the Mass Demon Corporation, while Earth was where Han would fight for everything to protect.

When Han knew the Three Eye Race had almost entered the Galaxy, his limit was pushed to the end and he went completely wild.

At this moment, a warrior walked out from the Execution Squad. He pushed away Heyuan and stood in front of Han.

This man was in a black armor and wearing an eagle mask. He said to Han, "I know you are with the betrayer, Luyao. I have some questions for him right now."

Han replied, "Luyao doesn't feel like talking to you."

The man in the eagle mask said, "Tell him that these questions are not mine, they are from our leader. If he refused to answer, the consequence is serious."

"Serious consequence?!" Han laughed bitterly, "You are going to kill me anyway and you still want me to answer your question? Are you ok?!"

"Still acting tough moments before death, that's fine. First make this brat half dead, then forcefully open his zero-degree brain region!" The eagle-mask executor was clearly furious, he waved and commanded.

Shua~

In a flash, eleven masked executors aligned as a row, pulling out their Ghost Head Blades and removed the cover. Suddenly, a silver flash shined bright that made everyone hardly able to open their eyes.

On the other side, Han also released his Genetic Beast Army and threw down three Sky King Vine's seeds.

"Huh?! Are you trying to fight against me with these little tricks? In your dream!"

The Eagle-masked executor charged up after finishing his words. At this moment, the boa-masked executor showed up and said, "We don't need to get him altogether. Let me handle this, I don't want you to kill him by accident."

Shua~

The Beast-faced executors found it made sense. It wasn't worth the whole group to strike just to get a little human.

The Boa-masked executor started approaching Han step by step with his gigantic blade. Although he wasn't moving fast, each one of his steps did left a deep trail of foot marks in the ground.

"Void End, activate!" Han shouted out loud, as he ran towards the executor with his Ghost claw. Although the Execution squad was undefeatable, Han thought he could at least fight against one of them with his power.

While the tricks released by Han was approaching, the Boa-masked executor sneered and suddenly disappeared.

"Snake-move!"

The boa-mask executor suddenly turned into a beam of dark light. The dark light was moving in zigzags like a snake instead of in straight lines, it passed around the genetic Beast Army and showed up aggressively in front of Han.

"Void End didn't work!?" Han's eyes opened wide, and he immediately twisted his body like a drunk person losing his balance.

The Boa-masked executor approached at a rapid pace while Han also detected it quickly. All of a sudden, Han dodged the attack from the direction the Boa-masked executor launched after a series of complicated calculations.

Ka~

The Boa-masked executor tried to catch Han but he failed, which made him really surprised. After all, he was one of the top warriors in the squad with his lightning-like speed. He then stomped his left leg on the ground, trying to raise up his speed and catch Han again.

Ka~

Han suddenly raised his body that almost fell. He pushed up himself over the floor, with the same calculations in his head and extraordinary neural reflex.

It was proven that Han did become a lot stronger than before.

Unfortunately, there is still a big difference among the powers between these two people. When the Boa-masked executor tried to grab Han for the third time, Han has used up all of his strength in the two previous moves and couldn't avoid the last attack. Now, Han was caught on his neck by the boa-masked executor.

An unprecedented intense feeling went through Han's whole body. He felt an instant freeze as if the person that grabbed him was not a soldier, but a devil that climbed out from a frozen hell.

Han started to understand what Luyao said before. They were both espers, yet there was still a huge gap between the powers from him and the Execution squad. Not only was the boa-masked executor not restrained by the Void End, but he could also hunt Han down by using a few simple moves.

Han could do nothing in front of this powerful opponent.

The major reason now is certainly the speed. What Han lacked is neither power nor teammates, but time. Time allowed both power and teammates to cooperate and work well together. However, the speed of the boa-mask executor didn't even allow Han to have any time to react.

Han felt his vision turning black, his body was getting colder and colder, and he could hardly feel his heartbeats.

He never had this feeling like he was about to die before. At this moment, Han could be killed anytime the moment the boa-mask executor put more force into his grip.

All of a sudden, a stream of thick gray fog spread out at a speed even faster than the boa-mask executor.

Han felt like he was going crazy.

As a regular human being, he has never seen so many elite warriors at the same time like this before! It was unbelievable!

Rumble~

Right when Han was at the pinnacle point of amazement, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

The gray fog didn't actually come for Han, it came for the boa-mask executor.

Boom~

The mystical gray fog hit hard on the boa-mask executor. Just a second ago, Han was attacked by the boa-mask executor before he could react, but now, the boa-mask executor became the one attacked by another Esper and could hardly react.

Han felt like he flew into the air. At the same time, he saw the boa-mask executor also flew into the air. Fear and shock filled the boa-mask Executor's eye through his mask.

"Who's that? Who released such a powerful strike?!" Han asked surprisingly.

"Can't believe Sima Hunfeng would actually help you! Watch, this is the power of Pinnacle Eight Star Warlord! The power of the strongest man in the Milky Way!" Luyao said excitedly in Han's mind.

"That's him?!" Han was shocked again, landing on the ground in his unconventional way and coughing roughly.

The atmosphere on the battlefield started to get more and more intense. Han could feel another group of troops approaching behind him. The group belonged to Sima Hunfeng, which has been following him loyally for a long time.

Beside Han, the thick gray fog gradually turned into a human shape. Sima Hunfeng finally walked out from the fog.

"Take back your Void End." Sima Hunfeng said to the surprised Han, "They are too strong for your Void End to fully work. Instead, it weakens my power too."

Han nodded his head as he took back his Void End.

In this universe, even the power of Warlord could not avoid the fate of being deprived by Han's Void End. However, the power of Sima Hunfeng and the Execution Squad could only be weakened by Void End. Thus it's clear, they had the strength of Eight-Star.

"Who are you?" The leopard-masked executor from the squad tilted his head, asking Sima Hunfeng.

"The man with the greatest power—Sima Hunfeng!" Sima Hunfeng said with pride.

"Your superpower is the Cloud of Devastation?" The leopard-mask executor asked again.

"That's right!" Sima Hunfeng responded again with pride.

Han had no idea what the Cloud of Devastation is, but he could sense it must be a terrible thing, since all of the executors showed a rare hesitating look to each other after hearing the superpower.

The boa-mask executor shook his head, "Pinnacle Eight-Star Level, Cloud of Devastation. I didn't expect there is such a powerful man like you from the Milky Way. We are the third Execution Squad under the Mass Demon Corporation, also known as the Beast Execution Squad."

"We are all Eight-Star warriors. You should have known what the result would be if you really want to fight us. If not necessary, I don't plan to cause any conflict with you. All I want is the person behind you."

Sima Hunfeng asked arrogantly, "You mean Han?"

"Exactly," the boa-mask executor nodded, "He is with a soul that we want to take. If you want to compromise, we can leave his body and only take that soul with us."

Heyuan got anxious after hearing this and he shouted out loud, "You promised that you would leave his dead body to me!"

Bang~

The boa-masked Executor suddenly disappeared. Meanwhile, Heyuan was easily sent into the air.

Without the power of Void End from Han, the strength of the boa-mask executor was completely released. He doesn't even seem like a person but more like a shadow, and when his snake-move activates, his speed could match lightning.

"You are not qualified to talk." The boa-masked executor said rudely to Heyuan, "If you say one more word, I'll kill you."

Hahahaha~

Sima Hunfeng suddenly burst into laughter and spoke out loud, "That's exactly what I'm going to say. As long as I'm still alive, you are not qualified to have me compromise!"

"Why?!" The leopard-mask executor asked confusedly, "You should know that we have more people and better cooperation. Even though you are stronger than us individually, it would be extremely terrible if we once start to fight against each other."

"I don't need your reminder, I know that!" Sima Hunfeng shouted out loud with his eyes wide opened, "Listen up! No matter how bad Han is, he's still a member of our Milky Way! It's not yet your turn to make the decision!"

"People from my galaxy can only be killed by me. This not only goes to people, but everything else as well! You don't even get to touch a single piece of glass here. This is how the rule goes!"

Han went silent. In his eye, Sima Hunfeng was the stubbornest dude he had every seen and only cares about rules.

However, Han also felt touched that this stubborn dude would even risk his life just to keep everything in order.

"So, we will be fighting each other for sure? We have so many Eight-Star warriors here. Once we start the fight, there are going to be a lot of casualties, even this planet would not be saved, and all of this will happen just because of your stupid rules!" The boa-mask executor said with laughter.

'Wait!" Sima Hunfeng suddenly said.

Shua~

He suddenly turned into gray smoke, speeding to Heyuan at an extraordinary pace that made all other Three Eye Race's Warriors hovered in the air.

"Three Eye Race! I am coming to end your life!"

"Why did you come to attack the Galaxy?! Why!? How dare you!"

"I, Sima Hunfeng, am the man with the greatest power in the Milky Way! How dare you invade my planet? I'm going to end each and every one of your life!"

"This is how it's going to look like when you broke my rules!"

Han saw that Heyuan was already limp like a dead fish, but Sima Hunfeng still didn't let him go. Heyuan's bones were snapped in the gray smoke, which must've been done by Sima Hunfeng.

Cracked~~

A hand stuck out from the smoke. Heyuan's hidden third eye was grabbed out from his head and was smashed by Sima Hunfeng.

Cracked~

Heyuan's dead body was then thrown out straight over Han's head from the smoke, and dropped hard on the ground behind him.

"If I can leave here alive today, I will exterminate the Three Eye Race! I swear with my name, I will kill whoever breaks my rules!"

Shua~

Sima Hunfeng showed up again, standing right in front of the Execution Squad. He pointed at them with his blood-dripping finger, "It's your turn now. You guys helped Three Eye Race break into the Galaxy and broke my rules?! No one is going to leave here alive today!"

Po~

The boa-mask executor spat on the ground, said with disrespect, "Old dude, don't you even know already? You are not going to win against us. The worst situation will only be no more than two of our teammates die from this fight, and you will also die."

"Shut up! Of course I know how it would turn out!" Sima Hunfeng yelled loudly, "I'm still going to fight anyway! You broke my rules, I'll kill you! As simple as that!"

"You are only by yourself, but we have eleven of us!"

"Still!"

"You come from the small Milky Way, but we are backed by the powerful Mass Demon Corporation!"

"Still!"

The execution Squad was shocked. They didn't expect Sima Hunfeng to be such a stubborn person that would fight whoever breaks the rules, even at the risk of death. Such a character was really rare to come across.

At the same time, Han was also shocked. He suddenly found that Sima Hunfeng was not only the man with the greatest power, but also the man with the biggest balls in the Milky Way!
