"I heard that the Star King detonated a powerful treasure!"
"The way he burned his divine body was just like a supernova explosion!"
"The entire battlefield is searching for him now..."
The Eighth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the Nightmare Candle King's Base.
The Nightmare Candle King sat on his throne, surrounded by a faint purple halo. His handsome face, almost eerie, had a pair of narrow eyes that gleamed with a cold light.
He was clad in dark purple armor, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest as he listened to the immortal report from his subordinate.
"My lord, breaking news! The top-tier palace-type treasure that appeared in the Myriad Sacrifice Starfield has been seized by the Star King of the Human Race!"
A marquis-level immortal knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"Oh?"
The Nightmare Candle King raised an eyebrow, his voice carrying a hint of laziness, yet exuding a chilling coldness.
"The Star King? That's the newly crowned king."
"Exactly!"
The subordinate continued, "It is said that in order to seize the treasure, he did not hesitate to detonate a powerful battle sword and burn a large amount of his immortal divine body. He is now seriously injured and is fleeing to the 073rd military base!"
"interesting……"
He stood up, his long, slender fingers gently stroking his chin, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of greed and jealousy.
"A top-tier palace-class treasure..."
The Nightmare Candle King murmured softly, his voice filled with an undisguised longing.
"Even my father never bestowed such a treasure upon me, yet it has been obtained by a mere newly ennobled king?"
He clenched his fist tightly, his nails digging deep into his palm, and a wisp of divine power seeped out from between his fingers.
"Why?!"
Jealousy gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake.
As the only son of Venerable Fire Erosion, he has always gotten whatever he wanted, but even he has never possessed a top-tier palace-type treasure!
And that Star King, this guy who appeared out of nowhere, actually...
"Ah……"
Suddenly, the Nightmare Candle King laughed, a laugh that was both chilling and pleasurable.
"Severely injured? Burning divine body?"
He licked his lips, a cruel glint in his eyes.
"God is really helping me!"
He abruptly flicked his sleeve and turned to walk out of the hall.
"Pass down the order to immediately mobilize all the immortals under my command to Barracks Base No. 73!"
"Sir, this..."
His subordinates hesitated.
"Fighting is prohibited near military bases; this is a battlefield rule..."
"rule?"
The Nightmare Candle King sneered, his eyes blazing with purple light.
"My father is the Venerable Fire Eclipse! In this Seventh Battlefield, my word is the rule!"
He raised his hand and conjured a star map, pointing his fingertip at the location of the No. 073 military base.
"Star King..."
The Nightmare Candle King murmured softly, as if savoring the name.
"You think you're safe once you've escaped to the military base? How could a lowly creature like you be worthy of such a treasure?"
"Let me take over the management for you. I hope you... can be more sensible."
He clenched his fist, and the star map shattered, turning into specks of purple light that dissipated into the air.
half a month later.
Base No. 073, spacecraft docking port.
"boom--"
The pitch-black spaceship slowly landed on the metal platform, and the roar of the engines gradually subsided.
The hatch opened, and Xingchen slowly stepped out of the spaceship. Although he was a little weak, it was only relative; his body still had a capacity of 50,000 kilometers remaining.
Not long after Xingchen left the spaceship, many people recognized him.
"Look! That's... the Star King?!"
"My God, it really is him! I heard he snatched a top-tier palace-type treasure!"
"Hiss... judging from his condition, he looks quite badly injured!"
Having lost most of his body, his aura had weakened considerably.
The surrounding immortal gods cast shocked glances, whispers rising and falling. Xingchen frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising within him.
"The situation is not good..."
His gaze swept across the crowd, and he noticed that many people's eyes held greed and covetousness.
Clearly, news of his acquisition of the treasure has spread, and his current severely injured state has undoubtedly made him an easy target for some.
"We need to get out of here right away..."
Xingchen pretended to be nonchalant and strode towards the interior of the base. However, he had only taken a few steps when a cold voice came from behind him.
"Oh, isn't this our Lord Star King? What, you think you can just leave after stealing this treasure? Won't you share it with us?"
Xingchen paused, then slowly turned around.
He saw a Marquis clad in silver armor looking at him with a half-smile, followed by several Army Lord-level Immortals.
Although they were all human, the greed that gleamed in their eyes was completely undisguised.
"Step aside."
Xingchen's voice was calm, but her eyes turned cold.
"Don't be so nervous, Star King."
The man in silver armor, who had been granted the title of Marquis, casually shrugged.
"Our Seventh Legion has always been united, and good things should naturally be shared. How about..."
"I said, get out of the way."
A faint starlight suddenly emanated from Xingchen, and a powerful aura emanated from him!
The silver-armored marquis's expression changed slightly. Thinking of the Star King's strength, he subconsciously took a half step back, but quickly forced himself to step forward again: "Star King, in your current state..."
"boom!"
A golden streak of light suddenly descended from the sky, crashing directly onto the metal ground between the two sides. As the dust settled, a burly man in golden armor, wielding a giant axe, coldly surveyed the crowd.
"Golden Feather King!"
The man in silver armor, now enfeoffed as a marquis, had a drastic change in expression.
"roll."
The Golden Feather King uttered only one word, and the expressions of those people changed drastically.
Unlike Xingchen, Jin Yuwang is at his peak and has been famous for a long time.
"Okay, okay, we'll get out, we'll get out."
The silver-armored marquis raised his hand and slowly retreated, followed by the other military lords and immortals behind him.
Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to King Jinyu: "Thank you."
Now that he has lost his treasured battle sword and his body cannot withstand the burning, plus the need to suppress the treasure, he may not be a match for him in a fight.
King Jin Yu sheathed his battle axe and said in a deep voice, "Come with me, it's not safe here."
The two quickly crossed the harbor, attracting many strange glances from passersby. Xingchen could clearly hear the whispers.
After the two of them left this place of trouble.
After finding a place, King Jinyu took out two cups of wine and handed one to Xingchen.
"Thanks."
King Jinyu patted Xingchen on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "No need for that, King Xingchen, you've got guts! To snatch such a treasure from so many alien kings all by yourself, I, King Jinyu, admire your courage and strength!"
Xingchen shook his head with a wry smile: "You flatter me. This time it was purely good luck, plus..."
He pointed to his body.
"I also paid a considerable price."
"Hahaha!"
King Jin Yu laughed heartily.
Chapter 56 The Venerable One
"No matter the cost, it's worth it! That's a top-tier palace-type treasure, a treasure that countless invincible kings would beg for! Even universe venerables might be tempted by it."
Xingchen took a sip of wine. This was indeed true; the value of top-tier palace-type treasures was no less than that of ordinary supreme treasures.
If that old, poor bastard, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, saw this, he might actually want to snatch it from him, if he has no shame.
The two clinked glasses, and King Jin Yu lowered his voice and said, "But now you've become a hot commodity. Not only the alien races, but even many people within our own human race have their eyes on you."
Xingchen's expression hardened, and he was about to speak when Jin Yu Wang waved his hand: "But don't worry, with me, Jin Yu, here, no one will dare to touch you in the base. However..."
His expression suddenly turned serious: "I heard that Nightmare Candle King has already brought his men and is guarding outside the base. That guy always acts recklessly because he has a Venerable father."
