With a swift movement, the massive dragon selected a direction not yet fully covered by the detectors, and like a dark golden lightning bolt tearing through the void, it began its active search.
With divine sense and the network of detectors working together, an invisible net is being spread out in this chaotic secret realm with extremely high efficiency, determined to drag out the hiding rat!
Under the all-round, no-dead-angle scanning network composed of hundreds of top-level F9 detectors and personally controlled by Qingyuan, the Qingying Secret Realm area was quickly peeled away layer by layer.
Only two months have passed.
On this day, as the Nine Dragons clone was carefully sensing the edge of a distorted energy vortex, Qing Yuan's voice, still calm but carrying a sense of certainty, rang in his mind.
"Master, the target has been located."
A clear coordinate information, along with a virtual projection of the surrounding environment, instantly entered the consciousness of the Nine Dragons clone.
The projection revealed that in the depths of a highly concealed natural labyrinth formed by a large accumulation of broken star debris, a faint fluctuation highly consistent with the characteristics of "Shuo Teng Zun Zhe" was detected.
"it is good!"
In the cold, vertical pupils of the Nine Dragons clone, a bloodthirsty light suddenly surged, and its massive body trembled slightly with excitement, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.
"Finally found!"
It let out a low growl, its voice carrying a hint of impatience.
"Kill it as soon as possible, and get back home!"
It had been searching aimlessly here for two months, which was only a fleeting moment in its long life, but this tedious prelude to the hunt had already made it impatient.
He still prefers to cultivate in quiet contemplation.
Now that its target has finally appeared, it just wants to rush over immediately, tear it apart in the most violent way, and then return to its divine kingdom to end this tedious mission.
Without the slightest hesitation, the massive body of the Nine Dragons clone suddenly swung, instantly tearing through space and transforming into a dark golden afterimage that was impossible to detect with the naked eye. With a terrifying speed far exceeding that of the previous search, it fiercely attacked the coordinates provided by Qingyuan!
Chapter 106 Map
Following the coordinates, the Nine Dragons clones instantly appeared above an area resembling a giant honeycomb, formed by countless piles of broken star debris.
Its gaze instantly locked onto a seemingly ordinary crevice in the stellar debris below, where extremely sophisticated spatial fluctuations were being concealed.
"Found you, little mouse."
The Nine Dragons clone grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.
It's too lazy to waste words or play the game of diplomacy before resorting to force.
The massive dragon body suddenly made a magnificent turn in the air, and its tail, covered with dark gold scales and containing terrifying power, was like a giant divine whip that tore through the galaxy. With a violent momentum that could crush everything, it directly slammed down towards the core of the hidden space secret technique!
"Take this 'Dragon Tail Swing' first!"
Boom! ! !
Before the dragon's tail had even fully descended, the terrifying pressure directly shattered the hidden spatial techniques on the outer perimeter, making them as fragile as paper.
A startled figure hidden among them was forced to reveal himself; it was none other than the Venerable Shuo Teng, who looked somewhat like an upright-walking rhinoceros and was covered in rock-like armor!
"Who?!"
Venerable Shuo Teng was both surprised and furious.
"Does a mere ordinary Venerable One have the right to ask who I am?"
The Nine Dragons clone was extremely arrogant, yet its movements never stopped.
"Innate Secret Technique - Nine Strike!"
"Divine Power Burning!!"
boom! ! !
The already terrifying aura surged even more intensely!
The nine illusory dragon shadows around his body solidified as if they were alive, emitting a deafening dragon roar!
With a hundredfold increase in combat power, coupled with the explosive power brought by burning divine body, and its perfect genetic foundation... at this moment, the power emanating from the Nine Dragon Avatar was simply heaven-shaking, turning this Star Remains Maze into a dark gold!
"Who...who are you?! Why are you trying to kill me?!"
The Venerable Shuo Teng felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, and his voice trembled slightly.
This is the cosmic overlord!
When did he ever provoke a cosmic overlord?
The enormous dragon head of the Nine Dragons clone looked down at him and sneered.
"Sorry, I'm just a temporary worker."
"The Ancestral God has sent me to send you on your way!"
Before the words were even finished, its dragon claw, burning with dark golden divine flames, had already reached out!
That claw strike was incredibly fast! It was so fast it seemed to defy the constraints of time!
The Venerable Shuo Teng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he only had time to hold the weapon in front of him and frantically pour his divine power into it.
"laugh--!"
There was no earth-shattering collision.
The dragon claw seemed to ignore the distance of time and space and all defenses, piercing through Venerable Shuo Teng's weapon, his thick rock armor, and the core of his divine body as easily and directly as a hot knife through butter!
"Do not--!"
Venerable Shuo Teng only had time to let out a short, desperate roar.
The next moment, his enormous divine body, like a piece of paper that had been set ablaze, burst forth with endless dark golden light from within, then disintegrated inch by inch, turning into the purest energy particles and dissipating into the cosmos.
one strike!
Instant kill!
The Nine Dragons clone retracted its dragon claws as if it had casually swatted a fly and flicked away non-existent dust.
"It's done, call it quits!"
With a flick of its claws, the Nine-Headed Dragon clone snatched several items left behind by Venerable Shuo Teng after his fall and brought them before it.
"Let me see what heinous things you've done that have caused the Ancestral God Sect to issue a kill order."
It muttered to itself as it pawed at its spoils.
"Was it an ambush on the territory of the Ancestral God Sect that killed the inheritor? Or was it something stolen from the Ancestral God Sect? It couldn't have been peeping at some beast god taking a bath, could it?"
The first item to be inspected was the flying palace-type treasure, which was of average quality and looked more like a toy to Lu Ming.
Next came a few ordinary heavy treasures of attack and defense types, which were not worth looking at at all.
"Poor and stingy!"
The Nine Dragons clone disdainfully brushed aside these treasures with its claws.
"You don't even have a single treasure? How dare you show your face in public?"
It then examined the world ring of Venerable Shuo Teng, which contained some materials and energy crystals. Although they were valuable, they were only pocket change for Lu Ming, who possessed vast resources, and there was nothing particularly eye-catching inside.
"Strange……"
After searching for a while, the Nine-Dragon clone finally settled its gaze on a scroll that looked quite ancient and made of a special material.
This scroll exudes a desolate aura that seems out of place in the primordial universe.
"Aside from this, there doesn't seem to be anything special."
It carefully unrolled the scroll with its claws.
The scroll did not depict any known star map of the original universe; it was a completely unfamiliar void filled with chaotic currents and danger markers, with a prominent coordinate point in the center marked with an unknown script.
"This thing...could it come from the cosmic sea?"
The vertical pupils of the Nine Dragons clone narrowed slightly.
He had seen many maps of the primordial universe, but this one clearly depicted the environment of a cosmic ocean.
"This thing is probably the culprit."
It understood perfectly.
"A venerable being in the primordial universe is holding a map of an important location in the cosmic sea... This is probably because he has touched some taboo, or he has taken something he shouldn't have taken from a place he shouldn't have taken, which has aroused the aversion of the primordial universe's original will, prompting the Ancestral God Cult to step in and clean house."
After all, the Ancestral God Cult is, in a sense, the spokesperson for the original will of the primordial universe.
"keep it."
The Nine Dragons clone carefully put away the ancient map.
"When I have the chance to explore the Cosmic Sea in the future, I can use these coordinates to look for it. Maybe I'll find something unexpected."
Although it's unclear where this map points, the fact that the Ancestral God Sect issued a kill order for it suggests it's not a simple matter.
After packing up all the spoils, the Nine-Headed Dragon clone stopped and tore through space with its massive body, flying directly towards the exit of the secret realm.
Mission accomplished, time to go back and report.
After leaving the Qingying Secret Realm, the Nine Dragons clone returned directly to Lu Ming's Divine Kingdom via Divine Kingdom Teleportation. It then submitted the completion status of this mission to the Ancestral God Sect through the Ancestral God Token.
The requirements for this mission are simple: just kill "Shuoteng Venerable" and bring back any items as proof.
Therefore, all the legacies left by Venerable Shuo Teng, including the flying palace treasure, several ordinary treasures, the resources in the world ring, and the mysterious cosmic sea map, naturally all belong to Lu Ming.
"Killing and robbing, oh no, I mean carrying out a mission and picking up some loot on the side, how wonderful."
Lu Ming, in his true form, was in the Chaos City Palace, enjoying the information relayed by the Nine Dragons' clone.
At the same time, the Ancestral God Sect also quickly responded.
The mission is confirmed to be complete, and the reward has been recorded. You can go to the core area of the Ancestral God Cult to collect it at any time.
"A high-grade treasure..."
Lu Ming curled his lip.
"Better than nothing."
With his current wealth and vision, a high-grade treasure can no longer excite him.
After all, his clones were equipped with supreme treasures.
