Whoosh!
Under Ender's Spiritual Force manipulation, the black chains moved rapidly like a long snake, shooting towards Kandik.
"Sealing Chains!"
Kandik, whose body was restrained with only half his head exposed, showed no surprise upon seeing the black chains appear.
In terms of strength, Ender, a Domain Master ninth-order, could already overwhelm him. In the previous battle, he could also clearly tell that the opponent had held back, otherwise, he would very likely have died in the battle.
Whoosh!
The Sealing Chains shot and spun, binding Kandik through the gaps between Ender's fingers under his control.
Bound, Kandik's Gene Energy and Spiritual Force were Sealed, his face turning pale and his expression somewhat listless, clearly having sustained some injuries in the recent battle.
However, with his World Master Level physique, as long as the injuries were not too severe, there would be no life-threatening danger.
After routinely confiscating Kandik's spatial ring and World Ring, Ender was about to put him into his World Ring for detention, but then the other party spoke.
"Didn't you ask me before why I fell?"
Kandik suddenly said in a deep voice, "I can tell you now, because I cannot abandon my Family and Family."
Ender fell silent upon hearing this.
Kandik's words confirmed that his previous guess was correct.
The other party had indeed fallen because of his Family and Family. Otherwise, with his strength as an Elite World Master Fighter, no one in the Koleto Family could have restrained him unless an Immortal made a move.
Thinking of this, Ender sighed softly, "If you had persisted for a few more millennia, by the time the Family's opposition faction rose, you wouldn't have had to fall."
"It's the same. Even if I knew the opposition faction would rise, my choice would still not change."
Kandik shook his head lightly, "My Family and Family are too deeply entangled to escape."
"I understand."
Upon hearing such a reply, Ender immediately understood Kandik's choice.
Putting Kandik into his World Ring, he felt a slight sense of melancholy.
"Your Highness."
Mullie flew out from the Shadow Dragon, flashing to Ender's side. When he saw the dark red metal at the damaged part of the dark red asteroid, he was slightly stunned and said, "This is?"
Ender turned his head to look at Mullie and asked, "Do you recognize this metal?"
Mullie's figure flashed, arriving at the opening of the dark red asteroid. After inspecting the exposed dark red metal, he said, "This should be the Ore of F-grade metal, Red Abyss Corroding Gold."
"Red Abyss Corroding Gold."
Upon hearing this, Ender split a wisp of his consciousness to query in the Virtual Universe, learning that 'Red Abyss Corroding Gold' was a very common F-grade metal, its value not comparable to Red Blended Copper Mother, which was also an F-grade metal.
"This asteroid is only about 30 kilometers in diameter. If all the Red Abyss Corroding Gold Ore inside is refined, its value should be around 100,000 Mixed-yuan Units."
Ender said softly, "This Red Abyss Corroding Gold is not of much use to me, but it can be used for practice when crafting weapons myself in the future."
"100,000 Mixed-yuan Units of F-grade metal, used for practice…"
Listening, Mullie suddenly felt that his horizons couldn't keep up with his Your Highness.
A Domain Master ninth-order, easily crushing a World Master Level eight whose Law comprehension reached the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge, was one thing.
Now, even obtaining 100,000 Mixed-yuan Units of Ore, which exceeded the wealth of a normal Military Lord-level Immortal, felt commonplace. It could only be said that he was indeed a peerless Genius of the Human Race, appearing once in tens of millions.
"Your Highness, although Red Abyss Corroding Gold is a common F-grade metal, it has a characteristic: in places with large quantities of Red Abyss Corroding Gold Ore, there's a very high probability of g-grade metal, Red Abyss Essence Gold, being within it."
"g-grade metal, Red Abyss Essence Gold."
Upon hearing this, Ender immediately began to query in the Virtual Universe again.
Red Abyss Essence Gold, a common g-grade metal, is valued at approximately 100,000 to 200,000 Mixed-yuan Units per ton. It can be used as the main material for refining seventh-tier Spirit Weapons and a supplementary material for eighth-tier Spirit Weapons.
After learning about Red Abyss Essence Gold, Ender's interest in it significantly decreased. It was far inferior to another g-grade metal, Ultimate Flame Void Gold, which could serve as the main material for eighth and ninth-tier weapons!
Seventh-tier weapons are only used by Marquis-level Immortal, while eighth-tier weapons correspond to King-level Immortal.
Once Ender becomes a World Master, his actual combat power will quickly rise to the King-level Immortal, and seventh-tier weapons will have very limited impact on his strength.
Only eighth-tier, ninth-tier, and pseudo-Heavy Treasure weapons would significantly enhance his strength.
However, an unexpected harvest of g-grade metal would also be quite good, especially since g-grade metal is of extremely high quality; one ton of g-grade metal is often only about one-third the size of a normal person's palm.
And this asteroid in front of him is 30 kilometers in diameter. Even if only two or three tons of Red Abyss Essence Gold are extracted from it, the value would still be at least 200,000 Mixed-yuan Units.
Ender put the dark red asteroid into his World Ring, then transmitted a message to Mullie, "If there truly is Red Abyss Essence Gold within it, then those F-grade Red Abyss Corroding Gold metals are yours."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Mullie's long wolf-like muzzle revealed a smile.
The dark red asteroid was 30 kilometers in diameter, containing a large amount of Red Abyss Corroding Gold Ore, making the possibility of associated Red Abyss Essence Gold extremely high. While not 100%, it could reach over 90%.
If he obtained this batch of Ore, worth tens of thousands of Mixed-yuan Units, his wealth would double. With more accumulated wealth in the future, he might even be able to bid for an opportunity to Cultivate in Primal Chaos City.
"Let's go, there are still 20 targets that need to be captured."
Ender said, entering the Shadow Dragon spaceship that had arrived.
"Yes." Mullie nodded lightly, then followed him in.
Subsequently, the Shadow Dragon accelerated, quickly reaching light speed and entering the Dark Universe, heading towards the next target's residence.
…
A little over a month later.
Ling Qing Star System, Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star.
As the imperial capital of the Ling Qing Empire, Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star was extremely prosperous. Furthermore, after the Ling Qing Empire changed its ruling policy, a great number of corrupt individuals came from all over the Yuan Chen Universe Country to indulge in pleasures.
This made Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star even more prosperous. The numerous spaceports outside the planet saw countless spaceships coming and going, stretching for hundreds of millions of kilometers.
Buzz!
Hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the spaceport, a dark red prism-shaped spaceship detached from the Dark Universe, suddenly appearing in the boundless Starry Sky Universe.
Subsequently, the dark red spaceship accelerated towards the Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star ahead, dodging one spaceship after another during its flight, while the surrounding spaceships seemed unaware of the dark red spaceship, continuing to fly along their routes.
Inside the Shadow Dragon's second-floor lounge, Ender sat cross-legged on a soft carpet, with a virtual simulation of the bustling Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star before him.
"Only this last person remains."
After more than a month of capture, he had already captured the other 22 targets, except for this last one on Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star.
With the Virtual Universe Company's information blockade, the Koleto Family had not yet discovered the disappearance of many important Family members and was still operating normally.
"After capturing this last person, I will have to judge the 24 individuals, but I haven't seen Lazhaku yet. I don't know when King Sealing Mace will send him over."
Ender pondered, "From the information I gathered earlier, Lazhaku is in Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star. Perhaps King Sealing Mace is already in Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star and has even captured Lazhaku."
With King Sealing Mace's ability to use teleportation, capturing a high-level Military Lord-level Immortal would be effortless; there was no possibility of mission failure.
In other words, once Ender captured the last target, he could proceed with a unified trial.
The Shadow Dragon spaceship navigated swiftly, quickly passing through Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star's atmosphere without triggering any alarms or attracting attention, heading towards Tuotongtu's location, the final target.
…
Ling Qing Imperial Capital Star, in a magnificent and luxurious manor.
Tuotongtu, a burly man with a face full of rough flesh, sat cross-legged in a spacious room.
As a World Master Level powerhouse who had only recently achieved his Breakthrough less than ten thousand years ago, his Law comprehension level was relatively ordinary, but with the help of vast Cultivation resources, his Gene Energy quickly advanced to World Master ninth-order.
"Law comprehension is truly too difficult."
Tuotongtu, who had been comprehending Law for some time, opened his eyes and said with a sigh, "The World Master Level is the best period for comprehending Law, yet even so, many World Masters are unable to become Immortals, and can only silently watch themselves reach the end of their lives."
"Breaking through to become an Immortal is very difficult, so one can only enjoy endless pleasure within a limited lifespan."
Muttering to himself, Tuotongtu's expression turned somewhat ferocious, his eyes filled with cruel pleasure. He then transmitted a command, "Someone, bring in ten slaves!"
"Yes, Lord Tuotongtu." A voice came from outside the door.
Boom!
Amidst a sudden loud noise, the roof of the spacious and luxurious room shattered, and a sharp claw, nearly ten meters long, extended down from above the broken roof.
The claw was black, hideous, and metallic, like the claw of a ferocious beast!
"This is?"
Tuotongtu looked at the enormous hand in front of him, his expression filled with confusion.
Because the giant claw greatly resembled a Human Race hand, but the question was, how could there be such a massive Human Race?
Even the largest Giant Race he had ever seen had hands that couldn't compare to that black claw!
Rumble!
It was at this moment that the enormous black claw moved, flipping its palm to grab at Tuotongtu. Countless broken debris fell from the roof, destroying the once luxuriously decorated room.
"What in the world is this thing?!"
Facing the attacking black claw, Tuotongtu was holding a shield and rapidly dodging, while his heart was filled with shock.
Because he clearly saw that wherever the black claw passed, the Universe space was torn apart, and countless cracks in the shattered space spread outwards like a spiderweb.
Whoosh!
Just then, the black claw's speed surged, and it slapped towards Tuotongtu, who was trying to escape.
Boom!
The black claw, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing apart the Universe space, fiercely struck the shield held by Tuotongtu.
A "clang" sound rang out, and a huge shockwave, centered on the glowing battle shield, rapidly spread outwards, shattering surrounding windows and walls, and sending countless architectural debris flying.
Tuotongtu spat out blood, his body flying backward, crashing through dozens of broken or intact walls behind him before finally coming to a halt.
Pfft!
Another mouthful of blood spurted out. Although Tuotongtu had fully activated the secret patterns on the battle shield in his hand, he was still severely injured by the extremely powerful blow.
"What kind of monster is this? How can it have such terrifying attack power? Is it a Space Beast?"
Tuotongtu, his face pale, shot up into the sky, intending to flee the area.
"Trying to escape?"
Suddenly, a voice entered his ears.
he saw an young man, several hundred meters tall and dressed in black battle armor, who had now appeared before him.
Seeing the man before him, Tuotongtu was utterly shocked, "How can there be a Human Race with such a massive body?!"
"You are the last one."
Unlike before, Ender, now displaying a height of several hundred meters, was looking down at Tuotongtu.
Hearing these inexplicable words, Tuotongtu asked with some surprise and doubt, "What last one?"
"You'll know soon enough."
As Ender spoke, his enormous hand, covered by a black, hideous gauntlet, reached out to grab Tuotongtu. Wherever his fingers passed, spatial fissures appeared, pressing down from the sky with terrifying power.
"Dream on!"
Tuotongtu roared madly. He didn't know why Ender was targeting him, but his intuition told him he couldn't be caught, otherwise the consequences would be severe.
Although he sensed that this massive figure before him was a Domain Master ninth-order, after directly facing that terrifying attack power, only a fool would still regard the opponent as a Domain Master ninth-order.
Which Domain Master ninth-order could suppress a World Master ninth-order, and even do so with overwhelming force?!
Swish!
Tuotongtu drew out his fifth-tier Primal Force battle saber and fully activated the secret patterns on it. At this moment, both the battle saber in his right hand and the battle shield in his left hand glowed intensely; he was giving his all.
Buzz!
A World Projection appeared, and an earthy yellow world enveloped Ender, with a slight force suppressing him.
"Heh."
Facing the all-out Tuotongtu, Ender merely chuckled. His hand, covered in a ghostly green light, continued to press down. At the same time, a green light spread outwards from him, dispelling the influence of the World Projection.
"Die!"
Amidst his roar, Tuotongtu swung his saber at the colossal black hand descending from the sky. The earthy yellow saber light was incredibly heavy, and wherever it passed, the Universe space collapsed, with countless spatial cracks spreading like a spiderweb.
Boom!
The heavy, earthy yellow saber light slashed out, but facing the terrifyingly powerful black giant hand pressing down from the sky, the saber light shattered inch by inch.
"How is this possible?!"
Despair filled Tuotongtu's heart. His strongest attack couldn't even budge the black giant hand, and the power contained within the giant hand seemed even stronger than when it had attacked him before.
The black giant hand pressed down, and just as it was about to hit Tuotongtu, its sharp, pointed five fingers quickly closed, as if to crush him into a pulp.
Seeing the black giant hand's five fingers closing and unable to resist, Tuotongtu felt the threat of death and let out a desperate cry, "No!"
The black giant hand clenched into a loose fist, and Tuotongtu was firmly restrained within it. Only a tiny glimmer of light through the finger gaps made him realize he was still alive.
"I'm not dead?"
Tuotongtu looked bewildered. He tried to break free from the restraints, but the powerful suppression prevented him from doing so.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the sound of chains clashing rang out. Tuotongtu felt the restraint on his body loosen, but the next moment he was bound by a black chain, unable to use either his Gene Energy or his Spiritual Force.
