Chapter 391 Why not choose to run away, but instead take the initiative to approach?
In the cold, deathly silent void, three eighth-tier, tenth-level Federation experts, along with the dozen or so "Zhenyuan-class" starships representing the Federation's highest military strength, remained motionless, like insects sealed in amber.
Time stood still in this area.
Although the head of the enforcement team could not move his eyes, his thoughts were churning like a raging storm at this moment.
"This...this is the prototype of the laws of time?"
His face, which had been arrogant with confidence in his victory, was now filled with extreme fear and disbelief.
An eighth-level cultivator actually comprehended the Law of Time, which even ninth-level experts dream of and which even pseudo-immortals might not be able to master?!
This completely overturned his understanding of the cultivation system over the years!
However, before his thoughts could continue to race, an extremely dazzling sword light exploded in his field of vision.
Lin Hanzhou's figure was like a shooting star that pierced through the ages, his long sword wrapped in violent lightning and scorching true fire, sweeping across the entire field with an unstoppable momentum.
[Heavenly Rank Sword Technique: Thunderfire Sword Art]!
boom--!!!
The next instant, the freeze in time was lifted.
The once calm void instantly boiled over.
Endless lightning transformed into a purple sea of thunder, while towering flames condensed into a crimson fire phoenix. The two intertwined and roared rampantly across this star field.
"No--!!!"
The three eighth-level, tenth-stage powerhouses didn't even have time to utter a half-scream. Their world power protection was as fragile as paper in the face of this sword. Their souls and bodies were instantly reduced to ashes under the dual strangulation of the lightning and fire power, leaving not even a trace.
As for the dozen or so enormous starships, they were like paper toys, exploding violently one after another under the terrifying impact of the sword energy.
Rumble—!!!
A series of fireballs burst forth in the dark universe, like a grand yet brutal fireworks show.
Just one sword strike.
This elite federal law enforcement team, capable of easily suppressing a rebellion in a star system, was completely wiped out.
Lin Hanzhou stood with his sword in hand, his back to the devastating sea of fire behind him. His robes fluttered in the raging energy turbulence, making him look like a demon god of destruction walking among the world.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
【Ding! 】
[Backstab talent triggered!]
[The host, a legal citizen of the Federation, was detected to have openly annihilated a federal law enforcement team. This behavior is extremely egregious and severely damages the prestige and interests of the Federation.]
[The faction that betrayed us: The Great Xia Federation.]
[Impact of the backstabbing: Slight loss (relative to the Federation's massive size).]
[Congratulations, host, for receiving cultivation feedback: a small amount (Note: the feedback will continue to increase as the event unfolds and causes further damage).]
"Um?"
Upon hearing the system notification, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Hanzhou's eyes.
"This will work?"
"Killing people from the Federation not only vents anger but also increases cultivation?"
"This is simply... a win-win situation!"
Originally, Lin Hanzhou's plan was to make a quick getaway after this wave of attacks.
He planned to escape the Federation's control and go to the Elf Empire, one of the five major powers in this universe, to hide and wait for the next dream journey.
This was the best escape route he had found in the Samsara Palace.
The post also introduced the power structure of this universe, with the five strongest powers being the Great Xia Federation, the Demon Race, the Elf Empire, the Mechanical God Cult, and the Dragon Race.
This also means that there are forces in the universe that are either pseudo-immortals or demigods.
Among them, the Great Xia Federation is the most powerful, possessing five pseudo-immortal powerhouses who occupy almost half of the universe's territory.
After that, there were the other four major forces, each with only one pseudo-immortal or demigod powerhouse.
It was precisely for this reason that the other four major powers formed an alliance to counter the Great Xia Federation.
In the past, federal fugitives also fled to the territories of these four major powers.
Only by going there can they escape the pursuit of the Great Xia Federation.
Among these four major forces, the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan have severe bloodline discrimination and are very hostile to outsiders, so they are obviously not good places to go.
The Cult of Mechanics is entirely focused on technology and consists of a group of lunatics who shout "Flesh and blood are weak, machines will ascend." Cultivators who go there are likely to be used as experimental subjects.
In comparison, the Elven Empire treats humans the best.
The area is not only beautiful, but also relatively politically enlightened, with little discrimination against humans.
As long as we don't cause trouble in the past, we should be able to live a peaceful life.
This is also why Lin Hanzhou is preparing to go to the Elf Empire.
but now……
Seeing the constantly fluctuating cultivation level feedback on the system panel, Lin Hanzhou changed his mind.
"Since betraying the Federation can increase one's cultivation level..."
"Then why should I rush to run?"
"If I don't take this opportunity to fleece the Federation, wouldn't I be letting myself down?"
"Let's pull off a big one! Maybe we can use this opportunity to directly break through to the ninth rank!"
Thinking of this, Lin Hanzhou's expression gradually became "kind".
However, at that moment...
Om-!
A terrifying aura, a hundred times stronger than the previous law enforcement teams and even giving him a sense of oppression, rapidly approached from the depths of the distant starry sky.
The aura was as deep and vast as the ocean; even before it descended, the surrounding space began to tremble faintly.
This is clearly a ninth-level expert!
"Has it finally arrived?"
Lin Hanzhou was not afraid at all. Instead, he licked his lips and his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit.
In the past, when facing a ninth-tier powerhouse, he might have chosen to temporarily avoid confrontation.
After all, killing a ninth-level opponent wouldn't bring him any real benefit, and it would only cause him trouble.
But it's different now.
In his eyes, this soon-to-be ninth-tier expert was no longer an invincible enemy, but a walking, giant experience pack!
"Well done!"
Lin Hanzhou had a thought, and a flash of light appeared in his hand.
He put away the Sword Soul Thunder Tribulation and replaced it with a rusty, lifeless iron sword that looked like it had been picked up from a junkyard.
This is precisely the [Broken Immortal Sword].
Of course, this was also to avoid arousing suspicion and to facilitate entrapment.
Lin Hanzhou deliberately concealed the chilling aura of immortal power within the sword, attaching only a layer of disguised ninth-tier spiritual artifact fluctuations to the surface of the blade.
"Right now, I'm just a clueless, naive eighth-level kid holding a piece of 'scrap metal' in my hand."
A sly smile appeared on Lin Hanzhou's lips.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, transforming into a streak of light, and actually took the initiative to meet the direction of that ninth-level expert!
……
【Beyond the Stars】
An old man dressed in a purple-gold Taoist robe, standing on a nebula, was traversing through the void with his hands behind his back and a gloomy expression on his face.
He was a core elder of the Wang family named Wang Tongxuan, and he possessed genuine ninth-level cultivation.
He was the one in charge of searching the star regions surrounding Earth this time.
The sudden loss of contact with those dozen or so warships made him feel uneasy.
"Hmph, young people these days are getting more and more lawless."
"They dare to wipe out even the federal law enforcement team? Do they really think our five great families are just for show?"
Wang Tongxuan was preparing to speed up and rush over to suppress that reckless madman who didn't know his own mortality.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he stopped.
Within the range of his divine sense, the target that should have been fleeing in panic actually... charged towards him on its own?
"Um?"
Wang Tongxuan frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Has this kid lost his mind?"
"A mere eighth-order ant, facing a ninth-order powerhouse like myself, instead of immediately kneeling down and begging for mercy or burning its life essence to escape, actually dares to provoke me?"
