Chapter 166: Black Hole Devouring

Beyond-Domain Battlefield, Jiyan Continent.

A blood-red triangular spaceship streaked across the continent like a shooting star. Inside the vessel, Luo Yuan's clone gazed at the star map while muttering to himself.

"In the blink of an eye, I've been fighting here for three hundred years. This Jiyan Continent is truly vast. Why haven't I found a space fragment suitable for fusing with my God Country yet? It seems I'll have to capture a batch of alien immortals to search for me; I can't just kill them all."

The Jiyan Continent consisted of one super-large primary continent and countless continental fragments, which the military referred to as islands.

Undoubtedly, the alien legions on the main continent were the strongest, home to a vast number of封侯 (Marquis-level) and 封王 (King-level) immortals. However, Luo Yuan's purpose here was not merely to accumulate military merits, but also to find the second metal plate of the *Nine Calamities Secret Code*. Afterward, he planned to head to the Star Tower for some action, as the Star Tower was the true paradise where King-level immortals waged their wars.

Along the way, Luo Yuan had slaughtered quite a few immortal-level aliens, and the number of alien World Lords and soldiers below that rank he had massacred was innumerable. This earned him a formidable reputation across the expansive continent, with others bestowing upon him the title of "Bloodthirsty World Lord."

Many legions of the Zerg, Automated Race, and Monster Race had been destroyed by Luo Yuan. Consequently, the upper echelons of these three pinnacle races decided to set a trap to eliminate Luo Yuan as a potential threat. Since combatants above the Universe尊者 ( Venerable) level in the Beyond-Domain Battlefield rarely mobilized casually, the most active participants remained the immortals.

"Hmm? Why is there a craving within my body? Every single cell is buzzing with excitement. Ah, yes, exactly. This is the sensation brought to me by the *Nine Calamities Secret Code*. Could it be the second metal plate? Xiao Ba, quick, accelerate to light speed toward the southeast!" Luo Yuan hastily issued the command to his intelligent assistant, Xiao Ba.

Upon receiving the order, Xiao Ba initiated the spaceship's acceleration, reaching light speed in less than ten seconds. They arrived above a massive land fragment. Feeling a powerful gravitational pull, Luo Yuan instructed Xiao Ba to activate the detector. Fortunately, he had previously spent tens of billions of contribution points to purchase a top-tier detector capable of scanning a surrounding radius of one billion kilometers.

After about twenty minutes, Xiao Ba reported that this continental fragment harbored at least one hundred billion alien soldiers, hailing from pinnacle races such as the Monster Race, Zerg, and Automated Race. Moreover, the commander of each legion was a King-level immortal.

Comparing the data with the star map, Luo Yuan realized that this continental fragment was situated right beside the primary mainland of the Jiyan Continent. No wonder powerhouses gathered here in such numbers. In other words, the second metal plate of the *Nine Calamities Secret Code* that he required was in the possession of one among those one hundred billion aliens.

Luo Yuan could not help feeling a wave of depression. Was this not toying with him? Finding one metal plate among a hundred billion aliens was equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack. He hurriedly retrieved the information stored in his mind, searching for clues related to the metal plate. Eventually, he found only the name of a race: the "Nashi Clan." It appeared that the second metal plate was in the hands of a certain black-armored youth of this clan.

"Xiao Ba, scan for the location of the Nashi Clan legion!"

Following Luo Yuan's command, his detector swept across the area as the spaceship moved at supersonic speeds in search of the Nashi Clan legion. It took an entire month to locate them. It turned out that the Nashi Clan had pledged allegiance to the Monster Race, becoming a subordinate faction of the Monster Race, surrounded entirely by other Monster Race auxiliary legions. For Luo Yuan to snatch the metal plate from their hands here was quite perilous, given the sheer abundance of aliens.

To support his clone in battle, Luo Yuan's main body, currently residing in Chaos City, had his immortal servants utilize God Country teleportation to deliver three Star-Eating Grass plants already cultivated to the peak of the immortal military lord level. Additionally, he transferred ten million peak World-Lord-level Zerg warriors and a thousand ordinary immortal-level Zerg king legions from the Zerg mother nest under his control. Cultivating these forces had cost him a considerable amount of resources.

The detector could only scan the general situation within a certain range, and something as small as a metal plate naturally could not be detected directly. Once Luo Yuan's clone was fully prepared, he maneuvered the spaceship into the sky, teleported out of the vessel, and stowed it away. Then, he employed a spatial fusion-void skill to approach the airspace above the Nashi Clan legion.

When he was still tens of thousands of meters away from the Nashi Clan legion, his powerful spiritual force swept downward, and he quickly located the metal plate he desired. It was indeed in the hands of a black-armored youth of the Nashi Clan, whose demeanor suggested he held a high status within the clan.

Luo Yuan's spiritual probe was detected by the Nashi Clan legion's advanced detectors, triggering alarms that immediately placed the legion on high alert. However, their detectors failed to pinpoint Luo Yuan's exact location for the moment.

High up in the ten-thousand-meter-high sky, Luo Yuan, concealed within the void, wore a sneer on his lips. In his palm, he condensed a pitch-black miniature black hole. During the past three hundred years of boredom, he had spent a massive amount of contribution points to purchase one of the ultimate secret canons, *The Evolution of the Black Hole*. Cultivated to the extreme, whether through a single punch, a sword strike, a blade slash, or a mere thought, one could generate a black hole. This black hole was a terrifying celestial body capable of devouring everything and reducing all to nothingness.

With the supreme comprehension of Luo Yuan's Chaos Divine Body, it had still taken him three hundred years to push this ultimate secret technique to its absolute peak. Looking at the miniature black hole compressed to its limit in his hand, he smiled. With a flick of his finger, the black hole transformed into a streak of black light, hurtling toward the sky above the Nashi Clan. All the while, his spiritual focus remained locked onto the black-armored youth, because within that youth's World Ring lay what Luo Yuan needed.

A streak of black light plummeted downward at extreme speed. Enhanced by Luo Yuan's spatial teleportation capability, the black light reached the airspace of the Nashi Clan legion in a split second. Instantly, the black light expanded rapidly, transforming into a massive black hole over ten thousand kilometers in diameter. A formidable pulling and devouring force erupted outward. The spaceships, soldiers, military camps, warfare weapons, and even the airflow and light below were dragged toward the black hole.

Countless soldiers of the Nashi Clan were torn to shreds by the suction force of the black hole and ground into nothingness. Piercing screams echoed from the Nashi Clan legion, catching the attention of neighboring alien legions. One primary King-level immortal and two peak Marquis-level immortal powerhouses of the Nashi Clan, who had been hiding deep underground, flew out hurriedly. Simultaneously, several other King-level immortal auras surged forth from neighboring alien legions.

Crossing millions of kilometers to arrive at the airspace of the Nashi Clan legion and witnessing the gigantic black hole in the sky, they were all struck dumbfounded. The sheer force of this black hole was powerful enough to tear immortal-level powerhouses to shreds, rendering even divine bodies unable to withstand it.

"All allies, please lend your strength to destroy this black hole together! My Nashi Clan will handsomely reward you!"

The King-level immortal legion commander of the Nashi Clan transmitted his voice in desperate urgency. The other King-level immortals of the alien alliance nodded; after all, they were part of a unified front, and if this black hole were left undestroyed and shifted its position, it would spell disaster for their own legions.

Consequently, over twenty King-level immortals from the Nashi Clan, Monster Race, Zerg, Automated Race, and others each condensed their divine power, launching attacks against the colossal black hole in the sky. In an instant, twenty pillars of divine light in varying colors shot upward toward the massive black hole.
