Chapter 29
Confrontation with Feng Hou
one year later
The Rongbing Starfield, where the Rongbing Empire, a mid-level civilization in the universe, is located, is situated in the heart of the Qianwu Star Region. This area is an undisputed prosperous region within the primordial universe, and a considerable number of mid-level civilizations have been established based in this starfield.
On this day, in an inconspicuous corner of the area bordering the Rongbing Starfield and the neighboring Hufeng Starfield, in a star system consisting of two stars and more than twenty planets, hundreds of spaceships were stationed in the outer space of one of the planets, pointing downwards.
The railguns gleamed with a chilling metallic light, while the laser cannons' energy convergence points were condensed with intense cosmic energy. Each spaceship was a high-level E-class or higher vessel, and they were always ready to fire.
Opposite this fleet, another equally advanced group of spaceships was confronting them, ready to launch an interstellar war at any moment and blast their opponent into a cloud of fireworks in the most brutal way.
"Sir, the detector has completed its monitoring. Two F-class spaceships were detected in the enemy fleet, containing a total of three Immortal-class energy sources. Additionally, 642 E-class spaceships and a total of E1-E8 class laser cannons were detected..."
When Li Che followed the two immortal military lords, Rong Bing and Qi Yao, to the planet that contained the legacy of an immortal god at the Marquis level, the intelligent assistant "Bai Yue" immediately activated its detection function and reported the basic information of the opposing fleet to Li Che.
Today is the day agreed upon by the two god lords of the Rongbing Empire and the god lord of the Hufeng Empire, to decide the ownership of the marquis-level immortal god's legacy through battle.
"Look, there is a basin-like landform on the surface of the planet below with a diameter of 1,300 kilometers. The center of that basin is where the legacy of Marquis Yu Chen is located."
Lord Rongbing gestured for Li Che to look at the surface of the planet below. There was indeed a large basin there, which seemed to be an impact crater left by the spaceship of the deceased immortal god Yu Chenhou.
"We and the Hufeng Empire have jointly blocked all information. Once this conflict ends, the victor can directly take the F-class spaceship wreckage and the intelligent life inside, and then distribute them."
The God of Enlightenment was also overlooking that area. This immortal god of the Law of Light was always surrounded by a soft glow, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Even if they cannot obtain the entire legacy of an immortal god at the Marquis level for the time being, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is willing to pay millions of Chaos Units to purchase it. This amount of money is not a small sum for an immortal military lord.
The cold gaze of the Ice God Lord shifted from the surface of the planet below to one of the spaceships in the distance.
Seemingly in response to Li Che and the others, the divine power of the laws surged within the F-class spaceship, and three energy sources, as vast as oceans, vibrated and stepped out of the spaceship.
Without a doubt, the owners of the three energy sources are the three immortal gods.
One of the immortal gods was about four meters tall, with two horns on its head, crimson skin, and surging waves of the primordial wind law around it. The booming sound of the law could be heard clearly even in a vacuum.
That was none other than the God Lord of the Calabash Empire, the leader of another medium-level civilization who was vying with the God Lord Rongbing for the legacy of an immortal deity at the Marquis level.
Behind him were two men: one was a simple man dressed in a drab gray robe, and the other was a burly ape-man.
According to intelligence, they are all soul servants of the master of Meteorite Star.
"Commander Rongbing! Commander Qiyao!"
The God of Calabash stood at the very front, appearing to be a very bold and rugged man, wearing a heavy divine battle armor, each step he took stirring up surging winds of law in the vacuum.
"Lord of the Calabash Army!"
Seeing this, the two immortal gods, Rong Bing and Qi Yao, stepped forward without hesitation, unleashing the equally magnificent auras of ice and light, confronting the God of Calabash Wind from afar.
Even though they had restrained their power of law, the small, ordinary planet beneath their feet was still ravaged by three completely different primordial laws. Terrifying cold waves, gales, and radiance immediately swept across the surface, and the nascent life communities on the planet's surface were almost completely wiped out in an instant.
"It's hard to understand why the God of Calabash rejected our proposal. It seems like the two empires would be getting a good deal by dividing up Marquis Yu Chen's inheritance."
Rongbing God Lord spoke softly. She, Qiyao God Lord, and Hufeng God Lord were all considered mid-to-high-level Immortal Military Lords. Their basic strength was 650-750 times that of a peak World Lord. Their understanding of laws and secret techniques were not much different, and their status was very equal.
"hey-hey!"
Upon hearing this, the Calabash God Lord merely chuckled softly and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I owe that Meteorite Star Master a considerable favor. Even if I split it with you two, a large portion of it would still go to the Meteorite Star Master. Rather than that, I'd rather kick you two out. That way, I can still save up some Hunyuan units for myself."
"brush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a divine power wave even more magnificent than his suddenly erupted behind the God of Calabash Wind. The surging golden law slashed out countless blades in the vacuum, causing many cracks to appear in this space.
That was the primordial power of gold and space, which had already surpassed the level of an immortal military lord.
At the same time, Rong Bing, Qi Yao, and Li Che behind them all saw a man carrying a heavy sword step forward and block the way for the God of Calabash Wind.
The man did not appear nearly as imposing as the Lord of the Calabash Army. He was dressed simply, had an ordinary face, and even his eyes were reserved, lacking any sharpness.
But the moment they saw that person, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
"The Marquis-level Immortal God Iron Sword Marquis, the master of Meteorite Star really did send him!"
Upon recognizing the features of the man wielding the heavy sword, Lord Rongbing exclaimed in surprise, his gaze towards the Iron Sword Marquis filled with apprehension.
"To deal with you, there's no need to trouble the master to personally intervene."
Upon hearing this, the man drew the heavy, gray-black sword from his back. His voice was low, yet it exuded an inner calm and serenity.
"Either we fight this quickly or we simply admit defeat. Marquis Yu Chen's wealth belongs to my master, and you have no right to compete for it."
He, Iron Sword Marquis, is a Marquis-level immortal deity recognized by the human extraterrestrial battlefield military system. He also possesses an immortal body, so of course he would not take ordinary immortal military lords seriously.
Using all its might to quickly annihilate 10% of the divine power of a high-level immortal military lord is not difficult for a marquis-level immortal who possesses an immortal body.
"Oh!"
Just as Tie Jianhou was about to make his move, he suddenly saw a man dressed in jet-black divine armor behind the two immortal military lords, Rong Bing and Qi Yao. He sneered and directly blocked the way between himself and the two immortal gods.
That doesn't seem to be some immortal deity.
He's a realm lord!
