513: Escaped in a hurry

It was precisely because he felt this powerful force rising from Lin Tianwei that Blazing Sky God-King finally looked at Lin Tianwei, his opponent, for the first time—an opponent who could make him feel the threat of death.

“How dare a mere ant challenge a God-King?”

“Die, turn to ashes completely under the Heavenly Flame’s wrath!”

However, what followed his attention was rage, a rage belonging to Blazing Sky God-King, a rage belonging to a God-King.

Blazing Sky God-King felt endless anger at his own behavior of being intimidated by an ant.

As Blazing Sky God-King roared in fury, the next moment, this terrifying Burning Sky Domain began to shrink at an incredibly frightening speed.

Facing Lin Tianwei, who made him feel the aura of death, Blazing Sky God-King not only did not choose to avoid his edge but instead chose the most headstrong approach; he actually planned to gather the power of the entire Burning Sky Domain to launch the fiercest attack on Lin Tianwei.

An ant should be completely reduced to ashes under the might of a God-King!

With this belief, Blazing Sky God-King suddenly launched an attack on Lin Tianwei.

The fiery red and golden yellow, representing the powers of both sides, violently collided, continuously making sizzling sounds, like a terrifying solution being endlessly corroded.

The powers of both sides were overbearing and resolute, leaving no room for maneuver, just violently crashing together, neutralizing each other until they completely disappeared.

Fritz never expected that what he saw was not an undeniable crushing victory, but rather a evenly matched battle.

Looking at Lin Tianwei’s resolute face, he truly couldn’t imagine how Lin Tianwei was able to fight a God-King to such a difficult stalemate.

He was clearly just a Universe Master like himself; could the difference between beasts really be so vast?

For a moment, Fritz even began to doubt the meaning of being a beast.

However, no matter how shocked Fritz was by Lin Tianwei’s strength, he still believed that Blazing Sky God-King would achieve the final victory.

Evidently, Lin Tianwei must have used some highly explosive secret technique, allowing him to gain strength comparable to a God-King in a very short time.

Although such secret techniques were rare, they were not entirely non-existent in the universe; even Fritz had heard of them.

However, being comparable to a God-King was only comparable to a God-King, never a true God-King.

Not to mention the period of weakness after using a secret technique, just trying to sustain the use of a secret technique was incredibly difficult.

If Lin Tianwei relaxed for even a moment, he would absolutely be crushed into dust by the power of Blazing Sky God-King.

In this situation, Fritz not only had no thought of escaping but instead observed the battle with leisure, wanting to know when Lin Tianwei would fall.

However, under Fritz’s gaze, this completely uneven battle actually fell into a stalemate.

Half a minute! Both sides were evenly matched, with no sign of a victor being decided.

One minute! Both sides were evenly matched, with no sign of a victor being decided.

Three minutes! Both sides were evenly matched, with no sign of a victor being decided.

However, just as Fritz was feeling uncertain, Blazing Sky God-King’s face suddenly changed, as if he had encountered something bad.

How could the power of a Star Devouring Behemoth be something Blazing Sky God-King could casually ignore?

Especially when that scale had been carefully modified by Lin Tianwei, it contained an extremely terrifying power.

The most taboo thing in such an evenly matched battle was any slight mistake.

The sudden burst of energy from the self-detonating scale was undoubtedly the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

Just as Blazing Sky God-King felt a devouring force and his face instantly changed, Lin Tianwei finally found the best opportunity, sacrificing the last 10% of his cyber soul.

In an instant, golden light surged, like the brightest star in the sky, suddenly overshadowing the fiery red flames.

Caught off guard, Blazing Sky God-King watched as the golden light instantly neutralized the flames, striking directly at his fiery body.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle... that was the sound of something being rapidly corroded.

This powerful force, obtained by sacrificing countless cyber souls, ultimately overwhelmed Blazing Sky God-King, inflicting extremely terrifying damage on him, far more terrifying than the damage caused directly by Lin Tianwei’s Claws.

Feeling his fiery body, which had already lost nearly fifteen percent, Blazing Sky God-King let out an angry roar:

“No!”

“How dare you defy me?!”

Just as Blazing Sky God-King was in a furious rage, preparing to seize the opportunity to attack Lin Tianwei, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and his expression changed once again.

After unleashing a Heavenly Flame, he didn’t care whether Lin Tianwei was dead or alive, but instead transformed into a fiery red meteor right before Lin Tianwei’s eyes and fled in a panic.

Just now, Blazing Sky God-King had sensed the auras of countless God-Kings, instantly making his scalp tingle.

This was a God War, a war between God-Kings, so how could it not attract the attention of other God-Kings?

The reason no God-Kings had come initially was simply because they only sensed one God-King’s aura.

A God-King fighting other beings?

Such a battle didn’t need attention; it was a guaranteed victory.

It was precisely with this mindset that, although many God-Kings detected this God War, none truly paid attention to it, nor to the two combatants.

After all, what was there to watch in such a one-sided battle?

However, they soon realized they were incredibly mistaken, because this 'one-sided' battle lasted much longer than they had imagined, for a full three to five minutes.

Three to five minutes might seem short, even momentary, but for a God-King level crushing battle, it was extremely unusual.

As they turned their attention, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Blazing Sky God-King, a God-King, was actually locked in a fierce exchange with Lin Tianwei, and it was even back and forth.

Especially the Star Devouring Behemoth, his gaze swept back and forth between Lin Tianwei and Blazing Sky God-King, clearly plotting something in his mind.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

With this thought in mind, the Star Devouring Behemoth finally made his choice.

In fact, as soon as he cast his gaze upon the battlefield, he had sensed an aura belonging to himself—the energy generated by the explosion of his own scale.

If anyone could silently enter this battle without being discovered by other God-Kings, it would naturally be the Star Devouring Behemoth, whose own power was already present on the battlefield.

To use the self-detonating energy of his original scale to backstab Lin Tianwei, eliminating this enemy who once insulted him, or to seize the opportunity to ambush Blazing Sky God-King and gain this rare chance to kill a God-King—the Star Devouring Behemoth undoubtedly faced a choice.

With almost no hesitation, the Star Devouring Behemoth mercilessly chose the latter.

Killing Lin Tianwei was merely killing an insignificant ant; aside from venting anger, it offered him no benefits whatsoever.

But killing a God-King was different.

Using his Star Devouring Talent, he could even plunder the opponent’s God King Laws, transforming them into his own power—this was an opportunity that couldn’t be found even with a lantern.

It was precisely under the Star Devouring Behemoth’s secret manipulation that the power of the scale explosion, which had originally been suppressed by Blazing Sky God-King, once again went berserk, delivering a fatal stab to Blazing Sky God-King at this most crucial moment.

Although injured, Blazing Sky God-King was not afraid of Lin Tianwei, because he knew Lin Tianwei was already at the end of his rope.

However, upon sensing the countless malicious gazes of God-Kings around him, Blazing Sky God-King dared not linger for a moment and chose to flee in panic.

His current state was not good; if he continued to stay, even if he could kill Lin Tianwei, it would come at the cost of his own life.

Entrusting his life and fortune to the protection of God-Kings from the same faction was absolutely the most foolish idea.

Who could guarantee that God-Kings from the same faction wouldn’t harbor any improper thoughts towards him?

It was for this very reason that, to Fritz’s utter shock, Blazing Sky God-King chose to flee in panic, actively escaping the battle with Lin Tianwei.

Watching Blazing Sky God-King’s figure disappear like a shooting star into space, Fritz’s expression even twisted considerably from shock.

What had he just seen? He had actually witnessed a God-King fleeing in panic.

One must know that the one he was fighting was not a powerful veteran God-King, but rather a Universe Master whose strength had not yet reached the God-King level.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Fritz would have doubted if what he saw was real.

Don’t let Fritz’s exaggerated reaction fool you; if any other Cosmic Beast knew the current situation, they likely wouldn’t be much calmer than him.

That was a lofty God-King, an invincible God-King, actually fleeing in panic before a Universe Master—this was practically shattering their long-held idealized image of God-Kings.

However, this was not what troubled Fritz the most; what truly troubled him was what he should do now.

Under normal circumstances, facing Lin Tianwei, a Universe Master capable of defeating a God-King, Fritz should not have harbored any presumptuous thoughts.

After all, in Fritz’s eyes, such an existence was no different from a God-King; both could easily crush him to death.

However, upon seeing Lin Tianwei floating powerlessly in the void, his body seemingly exhausted to the point of collapse, Fritz’s heart began to stir.

The opponent had indeed used some kind of explosive secret technique, just as he had suspected, to defeat Blazing Sky God-King.

And now, he was in his weakest period after using the secret technique—this was Fritz’s best opportunity to take advantage.

Lin Tianwei defeated a God-King, and if I defeat Lin Tianwei, by approximation, doesn’t that mean I also defeated a God-King?

Thinking this, Fritz immediately became eager to try, secretly thinking that today was his, Fritz’s, day to make a name for himself in the universe.

Moreover, the main mission for coming here today was to hunt Lin Tianwei.

If he could complete this mission well, wouldn’t he also receive more rewards from Blazing Sky God-King upon returning?

Thinking this, Fritz’s already restless heart grew even more agitated, just one step away from going to pick up Lin Tianwei’s slack.

However, in the end, it was Lin Tianwei’s fierce battle record of defeating a God-King that intimidated Fritz, making him hesitant and afraid to advance, ultimately only able to tentatively ask:

“Greetings, unfamiliar Cosmic Beast ahead, it seems you’ve encountered some difficulties. May I ask if you require my assistance?”

As he spoke, Fritz even changed his body’s appearance and aura, pulling out a conscription token belonging to the Origin Universe, indicating his identity as a beast to Lin Tianwei.

Facing the “newcomer” Fritz, Lin Tianwei’s expression was very strained, and he stiffly said:

“My unfamiliar friend, I do not require your assistance. You merely need to allow me to remain here in peace.”

It must be said that Fritz’s knowledge was quite extensive, and he easily discerned Lin Tianwei’s current state.

By pouring out the power of the entire Cyber Ranch, Lin Tianwei had successfully defeated Blazing Sky God-King, but he himself was in a state of extreme power depletion.

Without the Cyber Ranch’s blessing, unless he intended to burn his Body of Talents, it would be difficult for him to unleash God-King level power.

However, this weakness was only relative to a God-King; for Universe Masters like Fritz, Lin Tianwei could easily devour countless of them with a casual open mouth.

Naturally, Lin Tianwei had enough patience to play along with this Cosmic Beast who seemed intent on delivering himself.

The pleasure of waiting for a rabbit by a stump is entirely different from active hunting; it’s all about seeing the moment of stunned realization when the opponent faces his fangs and discovers he is merely prey.

Therefore, Lin Tianwei was very willing to put on a show with Fritz.

As for whether staying here would be dangerous, Lin Tianwei was not worried at all.

Ahead was Blazing Sky God-King, a super plump target tempting the God-Kings from both sides, so how could they possibly pay attention to a mere Lin Tianwei?

By the time they resolved the matter of Blazing Sky God-King and came to their senses, it was likely that Lin Tianwei’s figure would be nowhere to be found.

Rejected?

Fritz hadn’t expected Lin Tianwei to refuse his offer of help to his prey.

He felt a bit confused; could it be that the other party was in good condition and didn’t need his help at all?

Just as he was startled and preparing to leave, a possibility instantly came to mind.

If Lin Tianwei truly had the strength, he would have already left this dangerous place; how could he still be stalling with him?

Although he had revealed his identity as a Cosmic Beast from the same faction, this was the perilous Alien Battlefield; even among the same faction, complete trust was impossible, so it was perfectly normal for the other party to let him leave.

Thinking this, Fritz revealed an ill-intentioned smile, eyeing Lin Tianwei sinisterly.

It was as if he was looking at some delicious prey within easy reach! (End of Chapter)
