77: Chapter 77 Tickets

"Fifth-stage Star King and Sixth-stage Star King."

Su Wu took only one glance and accurately saw through their true strength.

Encountering two intermediate Star Kings on the edge of the Aolan Star Domain was indeed a bit strange.

"Wang Lie! Hand over the ticket! I will spare your life!"

The man holding a cold spear shattered a hundred-meter meteorite nearby with a single strike. With his spear tip pointing directly at his opponent, he spoke coldly, his voice propagating through the Void Realm via Origin Qi vibrations, carrying an unquestionable sense of dominance and greed.

The man in battle armor, known as Wang Lie, was panting heavily with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with determination and sorrow.

"Hahaha... Spare my life?"

Wang Lie laughed up at the sky, his laughter filled with unspeakable mockery and bitterness. "To think that just two days ago, we were still sworn brothers who had been through life and death together!"

Wang Lie's eyes turned blood-red with extreme rage: "But what about now?! Just for this so-called Secret Realm ticket, you actually want to stab me in the back and turn against me! Zhao Feng, you are truly pathetic!"

"Brothers?" Zhao Feng sneered, without a trace of guilt in his eyes. "On the road to the supreme martial Dao, what are brothers worth? That is a ticket to the Starfall Secret Realm! A man commits no crime, but his wealth makes him guilty. Wang Lie, you shouldn't have kept it from me when you obtained this item!"

"The more I wanted it, the more you refused to give it! Since you don't care about our old friendship, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Listening to their conversation, Su Wu, hiding in the shadows, raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of deep interest flashing in his eyes.

"A Secret Realm ticket?"

Something that could make two Star King-level sworn brothers turn against each other instantly and even fight to the death must be of immense value. Su Wu decided to remain still and watch this dog-eat-dog drama.

"You want it? Then step over my corpse to take it!"

Wang Lie roared, knowing that today would not end well, and decided to fight to the death.

Boom—!

Suddenly, the strange dark blue battle armor on his body shone brilliantly! Dense, complex, and profound ancient runes instantly appeared on the surface of the armor.

A terrifying Aura of destruction, far exceeding his own Realm, erupted from the armor!

His entire body seemed to transform into a burning blue ghost star, surrounded by visible rings of high-frequency blue energy. With an Aura of mutual destruction, he charged wildly toward Zhao Feng!

That dark blue halo seemed to contain an extremely overbearing power of decomposition. Any cosmic meteorite touched by the halo along the way, whether it was ordinary rock or hard metal Ore, did not even explode; instead, in this silent manner, it instantly decomposed into the smallest gray ashes!

"What an overbearing power of decomposition! This battle armor seems to be an ancient treasure as well!" Little White, hiding in the shadows, eyes lit up, and he smacked his lips.

"Just the last gasp of a dying beast." Seeing this, Zhao Feng was not only unafraid but his eyes sharpened, and his killing intent soared.

"Let me show you the insurmountable chasm between the Sixth Stage and the Fifth Stage!"

The violent Origin Qi of the Sixth-stage Star King inside Zhao Feng surged out like a bursting galaxy, frantically pouring into the cold spear in his hand.

"Ice Dragon's Furious Slaughter!"

Roar—!

Accompanied by a Dragon roar that shook the Void Realm.

The spear in Zhao Feng's hand erupted with ten thousand feet of cold light. A massive, lifelike ice Dragon, a thousand meters long and radiating bone-chilling cold at absolute zero, suddenly roared as it burst forth from the spear tip!

Wherever the ice Dragon passed, even the vacuum of the Universe was frozen into trails of white ice crystals. With an unmatched, fierce offensive, it fiercely met that terrifying blue halo.

Rumble—!!!

One ice, one blue—two earth-shattering forces collided violently in the Void Realm!

The moment they collided, the space emitted a harsh, tearing sound as if it couldn't bear the weight.

An extremely intense energy shockwave, centered on the collision point, formed a visible hemispherical storm that expanded wildly in all directions.

Meteorites within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were instantly turned into powder under the sweep of this storm!

Su Wu and Little White floated quietly at the edge of the storm.

Those energy turbulences, which were enough to tear apart a powerhouse of the Star Lord Realm, vanished like clay oxen entering the sea when they approached within ten zhang of Su Wu. Su Wu devoured them completely, not even blowing a corner of his clothes.

"Big Brother, these two guys are fighting quite lively. When they are both heavily injured, we will go out—the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! Hehehe..." Little White leaned into Su Wu's ear, letting out a very, very villainous and lewd laugh.

"Don't rush, let's watch a bit more."

Su Wu watched the battlefield with a calm gaze.

This level of battle, to him, a Seventh-stage Star King, was simply like watching two slightly stronger ants fighting; it posed no threat at all. But that so-called "ticket" did indeed pique his curiosity.

The fierce battle in the Void Realm was tragic and short-lived.

Facing absolute suppression of Realm, although Wang Lie exerted astonishing combat power relying on the might of his top-grade battle armor, he could not last long in the end.

Just half an hour later.

The aftermath of the battle gradually subsided.

"Pfft!"

As Zhao Feng thrust his cold, ruthless spear, the dark blue battle armor that Wang Lie was so proud of finally exhausted its energy. After letting out a mournful cry, a terrifying crack was ripped open at his chest by the spear tip.

A massive force struck, and Wang Lie was sent flying by the spear. Like a kite with a broken string, he fell heavily onto a huge, flat meteorite several thousand meters long.

Bang!

A deep pit was smashed into the surface of the meteorite. Wang Lie lay at the bottom of the pit, spitting out a large mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his Aura withered to the extreme. The Star Vortex in his body had shattered, and he had completely lost the ability to resist.

Tap, tap, tap...

Zhao Feng, holding the dripping spear, stepped on the surface of the meteorite and slowly walked in front of Wang Lie.

The sharp spear tip, carrying a bone-chilling cold, pressed mercilessly against Wang Lie's throat, even piercing the skin and oozing a trace of blood.

"I told you, you couldn't win against me."

Zhao Feng looked down condescendingly at this brother who had once fought side-by-side with him, his eyes filled only with indifferent greed. "Hand over the ticket. For the sake of the time we were brothers, I will leave your body intact today and give you a quick end."

At this point, even "spare your life" had turned into "leave your body intact"!

Hearing these extremely cruel words, Wang Lie gritted his teeth, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to devour Zhao Feng alive with his gaze. But he knew that under this cruel Law of the starry sky, the winner takes all, and he no longer had any room to bargain.

"Zhao Feng... you will meet a terrible death! I will be waiting for you in Hell!"

Wang Lie uttered a desperate curse. But his trembling right hand helplessly reached into the bosom of his broken battle armor.

The next second, an ancient jade tablet, only the size of a palm, deep dark purple throughout, and with strange starlight runes flowing on its surface, was slowly pulled out by him.

The moment the jade tablet appeared, Zhao Feng's eyes erupted with unconcealable ecstasy and greed.

He impatiently stretched out his left hand and snatched the jade tablet from Wang Lie's hand.

Feeling the ancient, vicissitudinous touch coming from the jade tablet, Zhao Feng threw his head back and let out a laugh of extreme triumph:

"Hahaha! Starfall Secret Realm! It really is the entrance ticket to the Starfall Secret Realm!!"

However, at the same time Zhao Feng was laughing, his right hand holding the spear suddenly thrust forward!

"Pfft—!!!"

Accompanied by a dull sound of a watermelon shattering.

The cold spear thrust forward without warning, directly piercing through Wang Lie's throat. Then, violent, extremely cold True Qi erupted from the spear tip, instantly churning Wang Lie's head—which was wide-eyed in death—into a mass of red and white ice slag!

"Brothers? Hehe... only a dead brother is a good brother."

Zhao Feng sneered as he withdrew his spear. Without even glancing at the headless corpse on the ground, he prepared to put the jade tablet in his hand into his own space ring.
