Chapter Fifty: Venturing Alone into the Misty Isle

Luo Yuan looked at his attribute panel and saw that the specific values were no longer displayed. According to the feedback from the system, the highest value of a planetary level first stage was actually twice as much as the lowest value. The minimum attack power for a planetary-level stage one (Spiritual Master) was about one million kilograms, while the maximum was two million kilograms! Thus, being at 30% of planetary-level stage one (Spiritual Master) meant Luo Yuan’s flying knife had an attack power of roughly 1.3 million kilograms!

After stepping into the planetary level, the differences between Spiritual Masters and Gene Warriors became quite significant. Gene Warriors’ strength was divided into “physical power” and “genetic origin energy.” Upon reaching the planetary level, a Gene Warrior could already project their origin energy externally, with an attack power of up to one million kilograms, and their physical strength also reaching a million kilograms! Therefore, the basic range for a planetary-level stage one (Warrior) was from two million to four million kilograms, and Luo Yuan currently possessed a combat strength of 2.6 million kilograms as a Gene Warrior.

And this did not even take amplification into account. With Luo Yuan’s current twenty-fold amplification as a Spiritual Master, he could exert a combat power of 26 million kilograms, while at 4.5 times amplification as a Gene Warrior, he had a combat strength of 11.7 million kilograms. His flight speed could reach about two thousand meters per second.

“It seems I still need to learn some advanced skills in terms of amplification. It might be worthwhile to visit Mist Island,” Luo Yuan thought to himself.

Ever since joining the “Palace of War Gods” and becoming an Invincible War God, Luo Yuan chose to stay at the Hongning Base City and became a teacher at the Elite Training Camp. However, he seldom showed up as a teacher, clearly not a qualified one, and it felt awkward for the trainees who had been his classmates for a month to address him as such.

On June 1st, Luo Yuan drove his supercar alone to the airport and bought a first-class ticket to the Australian continent in Oceania.

Forty minutes later.

The plane landed, the cabin doors opened, and Luo Yuan disembarked with steady composure. Before him stretched a vast expanse of green wilderness, lush with abundant vegetation, and in the distance, he could vaguely see the shadows of some monsters. He pulled up the satellite navigation for Mist Island and hastened toward his destination.

...

Far away in Huaxia, at the Jiangnan Base City.

Within the villa atop Huayao Peak, in the Jiangnan Landscape Estate, Li Yao, his face somber, and the blonde woman Vinina both stared intently at the massive screen showing video footage of Luo Yuan boarding the plane.

“He’s finally come out!” Li Yao said in a deep voice. “He’s been hiding his identity as a Spiritual Master all this time. If he had nothing to hide, why would he keep it secret? Hmph, Invincible War God? Even if you were the emperor of heaven, I, Li Yao, would tear you to pieces and make you regret ever being born!”

Li Yao’s face was twisted with rage, his nostrils flaring, eyes glinting with menace. “Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan!”

“Kill him. He must die.” Beside him, Vinina’s Mandarin was far from fluent, but the murderous intent in her voice was unmistakable. Her eyes were like venomous needles, and her tone was sharp. “Isn’t he going to the Australian continent alone? This is the perfect opportunity—kill him now!”

Li Yao’s expression was icy as he looked at Vinina. “Vinina, this time I’m going to Australia in person. I’ll bring some elite personnel with me and call on a few old friends as well. We’ll fly directly from Huaxia, land in Australia. Can you make the arrangements?”

“No problem. I can have you go as a warrior training squad. When the plane flies over Australia, you can disembark mid-route,” Vinina nodded.

“I’ll also arrange for some special equipment to be brought along. Invincible War God or not, I’ll show you how he dies,” Li Yao sneered coldly.

...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Luo Yuan’s ethereal figure streaked across the wilderness like a ray of light, advancing at nearly two thousand meters per second, ignoring the monsters along the way as if they were nothing.

Suddenly, Luo Yuan halted atop an island shrouded in mist. He immediately donned his Black God armor, then put on an SS-class combat suit. Twenty SS-class flying knives hovered and circled around him, forming a small domain of blades. Luo Yuan knew that somewhere nearby lurked a “Monster King,” so he dared not lower his guard.

He released his spiritual power outward, and with the system’s assistance, everything within a hundred thousand meters appeared in his mind. In the lake of Mist Island, he even discovered the “Monster King”—a massive creature with a shell resembling a turtle and thirteen tentacles, its body over three thousand meters long and each tentacle about fifteen hundred meters.

Suddenly, as Luo Yuan probed a certain deep underground cavern with his spiritual power, he met resistance. Delight flashed through his heart—he had found it.

Luo Yuan shot into the sky and flew directly above the location of the underground cave, carefully avoiding the area where the Monster King lay. Arriving above the lake at the cave’s entrance, he dove in headfirst.

On his way to the deep subterranean cavern, Luo Yuan was attacked by more than a dozen lord-level sea monsters, but he dispatched them easily with the flying knives that circled him. The blades formed a spiral, boring through the lakebed and creating a passage just large enough for one person.

Luo Yuan entered the cavern he had located and immediately caught the scent of rice. Sweeping his spiritual power through, he saw white crystalline stones and couldn’t help but smile. Could this be Moya Crystals? He happily collected them, but noticed there were more along the path ahead, almost as if someone had deliberately dropped them to lure him forward.

“What’s this?” Luo Yuan suddenly spotted a pure blood-red fragment wedged in a crack in the rock. His spiritual power couldn’t penetrate it—clearly, its material was extraordinary. Could it be a fragment of a spaceship hull? He quickly put it away.

Deeper and deeper he ventured, finally reaching a dusty door at a depth of fifteen thousand meters underground.

Luo Yuan directed his telekinesis to seep through the hatch and immediately saw 289 pieces of Moya Crystal at the entrance. He unceremoniously swept them all into his backpack.

Passing through into a grand semicircular hall, dozens of meters high and nearly two hundred meters across, Luo Yuan was startled to find several enormous corpses. Looking upon them, he felt a twinge of emotion—such powerful beings, yet still dead.

“Beep!”

“Brain domain width: 25, spiritual amplitude: twenty times, requirements met!”

A sudden voice made Luo Yuan frown.

At once, the dim hall was illuminated by brilliant lights from above, bathing the entire chamber in brightness. In the center, strange rays converged, forming a black virtual figure—a childlike creature barely one and a half meters tall, with two pointed horns on its forehead, blood-red eyes, and dressed in a black robe.

“At last, someone who meets the master’s requirements has arrived. I have waited fifty thousand years for you!” The black-robed child looked at Luo Yuan, a trace of joy gleaming in its crimson eyes.
