Chapter 289 - Chapter 288: A Four-Way Standoff

Luo Fan checked Thousand-Mile Vision and instantly discerned the strength of the two newcomers.

Both possessed one million times peak World Master power.

This meant that the two of them were Invincible King-Level experts.

The detection range of the others was not nearly as extensive.

As a result, they were unable to determine the strength of the two arrivals.

Moreover, judging from the power of these two alone,

it was clear that their own detection devices would not be weak either.

Therefore, the number of devices capable of accurately probing their strength was likely very limited.

Although their exact strength was unknown to most,

the other King-Level experts of the human and demon races all understood one thing.

These two were definitely not weak.

Otherwise, even a King-Level extreme expert would not dare come here now.

After all, there were already two Invincible King-Level experts from the human and demon races present.

Even a King-Level extreme expert would have a significant chance of falling if they came here.

Thus, there was only one possibility.

These two were both Invincible King-Level experts.

The King of Dominance and the King of Lion Spear exchanged a brief transmission and made their decision without hesitation.

They directly abandoned their original opponents.

As the strongest experts currently present among the human and demon races,

it was only natural that when choosing opponents, they had targeted the strongest members of the mechanical and insect races in this area.

Those were several King-Level extreme experts.

However, after the two distant figures revealed themselves,

they realized that it would be impossible to drive away the King-Level Immortals of the mechanical and insect races today.

Thus, without any hesitation, they abandoned their original opponents and flew toward several relatively weaker King-Level experts from the insect and mechanical camps.

The two immediately burned divine power and began slaughtering.

In an instant, several high-tier King-Level and peak King-Level experts from the mechanical and insect races were killed.

The two races did not even have time to react before those experts were instantly annihilated.

Those remaining now were all at least peak King-Level experts.

Everyone weaker was already dead.

This was the terror of Invincible King-Level power.

While burning divine power, killing high-tier King-Level or even peak King-Level experts was effortless for them.

At this moment, the King of Lion Spear and the King of Dominance were about to continue attacking.

Suddenly, a terrifying energy attack shot in from the distance.

Boom!

The King of Dominance and the King of Lion Spear joined forces and annihilated it.

However, the two were also blasted backward by the impact.

When they returned, their expressions turned serious, and they no longer continued attacking the King-Level Immortals of the insect and mechanical races.

Because two more figures had appeared on this continent.

One was the insect race's Brood Queen, Mu Nan.

She was an Invincible King-Level soul master.

She already possessed five peak King-Level and two King-Level extreme soul slaves.

The other was an Invincible King-Level Immortal of the mechanical race, the King of Thousand Machines.

"King of Lion Spear!"

"King of Dominance!"

"How dare you!"

Mu Nan's face was filled with fury.

For the insect race, every Brood Queen was extremely precious.

They all regarded one another as sisters.

And just now, the insect race had lost three Brood Queens.

In contrast, the King of Thousand Machines was far calmer.

After all, members of the mechanical race were inherently rational.

They were not swayed by emotion.

"Mu Nan, if we fight them now, the probability of obtaining the treasure will not exceed 23.68%,"

the King of Thousand Machines said coldly to Mu Nan.

The King of Dominance and the King of Lion Spear glanced at the two with disdain and had no intention of responding.

"Let's go."

With that, the King of Lion Spear directly led the human race and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Luo Fan knew that further hunting of alien races was no longer possible and turned to head back to the human camp's previous position.

"Wait!"

Just as the human and demon races were about to leave, Mu Nan called out to stop them.

"Mu Nan, the treasure hasn't emerged yet. I don't feel like fighting you,"

the King of Lion Spear said bluntly with a frown as he looked at Mu Nan.

However, Mu Nan did not look at the King of Lion Spear.

Instead, her gaze fell directly on Luo Fan.

"You, hand over Sister Nabel!"

The locations of the battles earlier had not been far apart.

As a result, many people had seen Luo Fan store Nabel into his world ring.

However, no one knew how Luo Fan had suppressed Nabel.

After all, Luo Fan had ordered the Myriad Star Flower to seal off the surrounding area with its vines.

Everyone assumed that Luo Fan had coincidentally struck Nabel into slumber with a single blow.

They had not witnessed the terrifying scene of countless incarnations unleashing the Sea of Blade Light together.

Hearing this, Luo Fan sneered.

"That's my spoils of war."

"I've already swallowed it. You still want me to spit it out?"

"Did you just arrive on the battlefield beyond the domain?"

The King of Lion Spear and the other human King-Level experts gathered around Luo Fan.

"Mu Nan, you're not a rookie. How can you say something so naïve?"

"Are you dreaming?"

"Your insect race has enslaved plenty of our human experts. Now you panic when a Brood Queen gets suppressed?"

Although everyone was envious that Luo Fan had managed to seal an Immortal-level Brood Queen,

Nabel had been dealt with by Luo Fan alone.

As a result, none of them harbored any designs on her.

At a moment like this, they naturally stood on Luo Fan's side.

When facing external races, most humans were highly united.

At this moment, everyone presented a united front.

Even the King of Lion Spear stood beside Luo Fan.

"Mu Nan, don't say such laughable things again in the future."

"Ignore this woman. Let's go."

The latter sentence was directed at Luo Fan.

Mu Nan's expression darkened drastically.

"Fine."

"I'll remember you."

"You'd better pray that you never run into me again."

Mu Nan was seething with rage.

But she also knew that there was nothing she could do right now.

Determining a victor between herself and the King of Lion Spear would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, the number of King-Level Immortals remaining on the insect race's side was already fewer than those of the human race.

If a battle broke out, the insect race's losses would likely be even more severe.

As for the mechanical race?

Heh.

The King of Thousand Machines would not help Mu Nan reclaim Nabel.

After all, there was no benefit in it for him.

Although the mechanical race and insect race had formed a brief alliance earlier,

if given the chance, the King of Thousand Machines would absolutely stab the insect race in the back.

He would have preferred Mu Nan to clash directly with the human race just now.

Ideally, both sides would suffer heavy losses.

That would best serve the interests of the mechanical race.

Before long, the human King-Level experts returned to their previous location.

The demon race did the same.

Now that both the insect and mechanical races had Invincible King-Level experts present,

their brief alliance had effectively fallen apart.

Unless the insect and mechanical races continued to unite from this point onward,

the human and demon races would remain their enemies.

"Ice Blade, your luck is incredible!"

"You've only been on the battlefield beyond the domain for a short time, and you already suppressed an Immortal-level Brood Queen."

"That's right. You actually managed to beat Nabel into slumber."

"I believe it won't be long before you receive your own King-Level title."

Everyone looked at Luo Fan with envy.

Even the King of Lion Spear was no exception.

An Immortal-level insect Brood Queen could be exchanged for supreme treasure points.

Luo Fan had already seen the exchange option for an Immortal-level insect Brood Queen in the human race's treasury.

In other words, Luo Fan had effectively obtained a supreme treasure this time.

Even if the human race failed to obtain the treasure that was about to emerge,

Luo Fan's gains were already immense.

That was a supreme treasure.

Among everyone present, only the King of Lion Spear, with his Invincible King-Level strength, possessed a normal offensive supreme treasure, the Lionheart Divine Spear.

The King of Lion Spear's King-Level title had been changed after he obtained the Lionheart Divine Spear.

After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their respective ships.

The abyss on the continent was still continuously spewing spatial-temporal storms.

The treasure had not yet emerged.

Thus, it was not yet time to fight over it.

After entering his ship, Luo Fan immediately entered his world ring.

Arriving at the center of the world ring, he saw a beautiful figure floating there.

It was Nabel, whom he had just suppressed.

Unfortunately, suppressing her this time did not yield cultivation resources from an Immortal-level or even Venerable-level Brood Queen.

The reward for this task was the Ten Thousand Insect Nest.

Luo Fan was somewhat curious about what this reward was.

From the name, it appeared to be something meant for an insect Brood Queen.

At the very least, it was related to insect Brood Queens.

However, he planned to claim it later.

For now, it was better to enslave Nabel first,

to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Standing before Nabel, Luo Fan did not hesitate and directly activated the will-enslavement secret art, Slave Mark.

This was a will-enslavement secret art rewarded by the system.

With Nabel currently in slumber, she was completely unable to resist Luo Fan's enslavement.

If Nabel were still awake, enslaving her would not have been so easy.

After all, as an Immortal-level insect Brood Queen, her willpower would certainly not be weak.

It should be far stronger than Luo Fan's.

Although Luo Fan's current willpower, due to his mastery of spatial lockdown, had reached the King-Level,

it was only comparable to that of a peak King-Level expert.

Nabel, on the other hand, was herself a peak King-Level soul master. (TL/N: As it mentioned several chapters ago, Insect Race have a natural talent for Soul Cultivation. Hence they are more powerful than other races (Willpower wise), even at the same level. That's their biggest advantage.)

Her willpower would only be stronger than her own combat strength.

Thus, if Nabel had not been asleep, enslaving her would have been quite difficult.

Soon, Luo Fan's slave mark appeared within Nabel's soul and will.

At this moment, Nabel officially became a soul slave.

It was a pity that he had already completed the suppression task earlier.

He could no longer establish an enslavement task.

Still, having an Immortal-level Brood Queen as a slave was already an enormous gain.

The Immortal-level Brood Queen resources he had previously obtained by enslaving You Meng could now be used on Nabel.

Otherwise, it was unclear how long it would take for You Meng and Yilinna to break through to immortality.

If Nabel used those resources, she would quickly gain Invincible King-Level or even Venerable-level combat power.

Moreover, she would be able to nurture large numbers of Immortal-level insect warriors.

At that point, even encountering a Venerable would not make Luo Fan particularly fearful.

However, for now, the first step was to awaken Nabel.
