Wang Teng and Round Ball had solemn expressions as they stood in the Flaming River spacecraft. They had activated the panoramic simulation mode.

An ice-blue Force glow as bright as the sun was plummeting toward them at a high speed. The frightening pressure destroyed all the meteorites around him.

The Flaming River escaped frantically at the fastest speed possible.

“Damn it, why is there a universe-stage martial warrior hunting us down?” Round Ball shouted in anger.

“Even the leader of martial arts and Chuhan don’t know that I’m heading to the No. 29 Defense Planet. The only possibility is that someone got this piece of news from the higher authorities in the Great Qian Empire. They waited here to ambush us,” Wang Teng said grimly.

Wang Teng had to gain permission from the Great Qian Empire before going to the No. 29 Defense Planet. Thus, he informed the official departments before his trip. That was the only place the problem could happen.

“It must be the Parkers!” Round Ball bellowed.

“They’re like mad dogs chasing after me.” Wang Teng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Getting angry at this time wouldn’t do him any good. He should focus on escaping from the universe-stage martial warrior.

“What should we do now? We can’t escape, and our path to the No. 29 Defense Planet is also blocked,” Round Ball said helplessly.

“We can only take one step at a time.” Wang Teng blinked. “Are there any life planets nearby? We can go there. The universe-stage martial warrior won’t dare to attack when there are many people around.”

“No, we’re near the No. 29 Defense Planet, so there are no life planets around. Even if there is one, it would be barren. The universe-stage martial warrior has nothing to be fearful of and no one will stop him.” Round Ball shook its head.

“Are there any dangerous places that universe-stage martial warriors are afraid of?” Wang Teng’s mind worked furiously.

“Let me check.” Round Ball understood Wang Teng’s plan. Its eyes lit up as it replied to him in a hurry.

It immediately took out the star chart and checked the situation of the planetary sectors around it. Planets flashed one after another; the images were impossible to capture using one’s eyes. Only an intelligent lifeform like Round Ball could check through them so quickly.

“Wang Teng, I found it. 600 lights years away, there’s an area regarded as restricted ground. Even universe-stage martial warriors have to be careful there,” Round Ball said.

“Do you know why?” Wang Teng frowned.

“I’m… not sure.” Round Ball investigated but found no relevant information. It only knew that this was a restricted ground.

“Any other place?”

“No, they’re all far away.”

Right after Round Ball finished speaking, the spacecraft trembled. The alarm started blaring. “Alert! Alert! Defense shield is 20% damaged!”

The two of them were appalled. It was obvious that the universe-stage martial warrior behind them had started attacking.

“Nevermind, let’s head to that restricted area,” Wang Teng said with an ugly expression. He didn’t dare to hesitate anymore.

No matter what, they need to break free from this universe-stage martial warrior first!

A universe-level spacecraft could resist the attack from a universe-stage martial warrior but not for long.

Once the other party destroyed their defense shield, they would have no chance of escaping. It was like catching turtles in a jar.

“Okay!” Round Ball knew that this was an emergency. They had no choice. This was their only way out.

It hurriedly controlled the Flaming River spacecraft and headed in another direction.

“Huh?”

The universe-stage martial warrior chasing them exclaimed again. Without stopping, he slashed out with his blade. The attack cut through space and landed on the Flaming River.

Unfortunately, this was a universe-level spacecraft; he couldn’t destroy it easily. He had to continue chasing and damaging its defense shield.

“Alert! Alert! Defense shield is 35% damaged!”

“Alert! Alert! Defense shield is 40% damaged!”

“Alert! Alert! Defense shield is 50% damaged!”

…

Alarms rang through the spacecraft continuously. It was head-splitting.

Wang Teng and Round Ball were agitated. Their expressions couldn’t be gloomier.

Quick! Quick! Quick!

They prayed in their hearts, wishing that they could reach the restricted area in the next second.

They did put up some resistance. The Flaming River Universe Lord kept firing Force attacks in an attempt to delay the universe-stage martial warrior.

However, the other party arrived too quickly. It was impossible to cause any damage to him. They could only drag his speed down a little.

“Alert! Alert! Defense shield is 80% damaged!”

“Alert! Alert! Defense shield is 95% damaged!”

…

The defense shield was on the verge of collapsing.

“Quick!” Round Ball shouted before smiling. “We’re here! Wang Teng, do you see that gray misty area ahead? We’re here!”

Wang Teng was invigorated. He hurriedly looked in front.

An eerie patch of gray mist floated silently in the emptiness ahead. It was spread out, so no one could see behind it. There was only the faint outline of a meteorite barely visible.

“Here!” The universe-stage martial warrior was shocked when he saw the gray mist. He finally realized Wang Teng’s destination.

Wang Teng stared at the gray mist. Honestly, he was afraid because the path in front was unknown. Also, the gray mist was thick and sinister. He didn’t know what dangers there were behind it.

But at this crucial moment, he didn’t have a choice. He had to take the risk. Finding an escape in death!

“Quick, let’s go in!” Wang Teng ordered.

“Stay back!” A cold bellow came from behind them.

The Flaming River seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall. Its speed decreased tremendously as if they were numerous strings dragging it down.

The gray mist was only an inch away, but it seemed as far as the horizon. They couldn’t get any closer.

“The universe-stage martial warrior has linked the small world in his body to the real world and formed a wall in front of us,” Round Ball said seriously.

“You’re really putting in a lot of effort to catch me!” Wang Teng furrowed his brows. Many thoughts went through his mind.

The next instant, an idea popped up in his mind, and he said in a low voice, “Round Ball, open the cabin door!”

“You can’t go out. A universe-stage martial warrior isn’t like a heaven-stage martial warrior. You’ll die if you step out,” Round Ball said hurriedly.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going out. I just want to see if I can break the restrictions of the small world.”

Looking at Wang Teng’s expression, Round Ball knew that he was confident. It opened the cabin without another word.

Wang Teng appeared at the cabin door, holding a universe-level sword in his hand. The power of origin surged in his body as he slashed his sword out.

Origin of Flame!

Origin of Metal!

Origin of Wind!

Three origins were merged into the Godslayer Sword Scripture. They were hurled out with the beam of sword glow.

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred.

Then, the power of the small world started cracking, and the Flaming River was free again. It shot out and dashed into the gray mist.

“How’s that possible?” The universe-stage martial warrior was in disbelief.

He stared at the spacecraft with a sharp gaze. Anyone would be frightened if they saw him. However, he could only watch the spacecraft as it entered the gray mist, unable to stop it.

“Hmph, do you think you’re safe just because you escaped inside?” The universe-stage martial warrior snorted. Then, he entered the gray mist too.

Everything was gray in this area. The visibility range was only a few hundred meters.

“Fortunately, the Flaming River is a universe-level spacecraft. Otherwise, the meteorites floating around would have been enough to smash it down.

“Fly inside,” Wang Teng said.

“Are you afraid that the universe-stage martial warrior will continue chasing us?” Round Ball asked.

“I’m not worried. It’s definite.”

Round Ball gritted its teeth and controlled the spacecraft to fly deeper in. The meteorites crashed into the defense shield before shattering into pieces. No damage was done to the spacecraft.

“Wang Teng, the gray mist seems to be corrosive,” Round Ball said suddenly.

“Corrosive!” Wang Teng was stunned.

“Yes, corrosive. This seems to be a poisonous mist.” Round Ball stared at the data in front of it.

“Poison mist? Can our spacecraft withstand it?” Wang Teng asked with a frown.

“There’s no problem for now. However, I can’t promise anything once we get closer to the core.”

“Wait and see. If we can’t handle it, we’ll retreat.” While speaking, Wang Teng was surprised. He saw attribute bubbles in front.
