"Let you go? You're really naive. If I let you go now, wouldn't I be courting death?"
Lu Ming sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and swept his gaze over the people around him, saying, "Get out of the way and let me leave, or I will kill him!"
"You dare? Kid, do you know who he is? He's the young master of Yuanluo Palace, the son of the palace master. If you dare lay a finger on him, your end will be miserable. Do you understand?"
The old man roared, his eyes filled with icy killing intent. If it weren't for Kang Long, he would have killed Lu Ming with a single palm strike.
"The son of the Lord of Yuanluo Palace, even better. If I kill him, you will all probably be buried with him. Come on, we might as well die together!"
Lu Ming said coldly.
"You...you..."
The old man and the two burly men were furious, almost spitting blood, but they dared not make any rash moves.
Lu Ming is right. Kang Long is favored by the Lord of Yuanluo Palace, and the Lord of Yuanluo Palace is notorious for his ruthlessness. If Kang Long really dies, they will be buried with him.
"Kid, you're finished. Let me tell you, you're doomed, no matter where you go, you'll be trapped. I'm going to kill you, and everyone in your little world, I won't let a single one of them go. They'll all die!"
Kanglong roared wildly, his anger about to madden him at the thought that he had been captured by the natives of a minor world.
If this gets out, won't he become a laughing stock?
"Scratching!"
Lu Ming spoke coldly, then his hand slashed down like a knife, and Kang Long's arm flew off.
ah!
Kanglong screamed in agony.
Although at his level, even if his body were torn apart, he could recover quickly, the pain would still be very real.
"How dare you!"
"You're asking for it!"
The others also roared in anger.
"Enough with the nonsense. Next time, I'll just destroy his divine fire. Now..."
"All of you get out of my way and let me leave, then I'll let him go!"
Lu Ming said coldly.
"Release the young master first, and we'll let you leave!"
"That's what the old man said."
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I let him go, why don't you kill me right now and let me leave first? Otherwise, I'll have to cripple him first!"
Lu Ming said, "The power of the Sovereign transforms into a sharp sword, piercing Kang Long's dantian, intending to destroy Kang Long's divine fire."
"Get out of the way, you idiots! Get out of the way, let him go, let him go!"
Kanglong roared hysterically.
He was afraid, truly afraid. Once the divine fire was destroyed, his cultivation would be ruined.
What does it matter if Lu Ming goes? In his heart, even ten thousand or a hundred million Lu Mings are not as important as a single hair on his head.
He vowed that once he escaped, he would send experts to capture Lu Ming and grind him to dust.
The people standing nearby looked grim, but now they had no choice but to step aside.
The old man and the others retreated to both sides.
Whoosh!
Lu Ming, carrying Kanglong, rushed through and left the encirclement.
"Release the young master now!"
The old man roared.
"I'll release him once I'm safe. Also, you'd better not chase after me, or I'll cripple him immediately!"
Lu Ming said coldly.
The old man and the others were furious, wishing they could tear Lu Ming to pieces, but they dared not pursue him and could only watch helplessly.
Lu Ming flew at full speed and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
"Quickly, report this to the higher authorities! Send a Void God Realm expert of level seven or above! They must kill that brat and rescue the young master!"
"quick!"
The old man and his companions immediately took action and left the area.
Their cultivation level is still insufficient. If there were experts at the seventh level of the Void God Realm or above, even if Lu Ming captured Kang Long, such experts could quickly kill him and rescue Kang Long before Lu Ming could react.
The old man and the others left one by one, while Lu Ming, carrying Kanglong, flew at high speed.
"The space of this primordial universe is so stable, and the gravity is incredibly strong!"
As Lu Ming flew, he tried to tear open space and travel through it, but he found that it was impossible.
In the celestial realm, with his cultivation level, a single step he takes causes space to automatically crack open, allowing him to instantly travel from one world to another.
But now he discovered that even if he went all out, he couldn't tear open space. Not to mention tearing open space, he couldn't even create a ripple.
Moreover, the gravity here is extremely strong, and Lu Ming's flying speed is hundreds of times slower than when he was in the Heavenly Realm.
"What a rich and powerful aura!"
Then, Lu Ming took a deep breath and felt the surging divine energy of heaven and earth converging towards him.
Yes, it is spirit energy, not primordial energy.
The space here is filled with a divine aura, just like the one in Huangquan Mountain.
However, the spiritual energy inside Huangquan Mountain is nowhere near as strong as here; it's far too thin.
Although Huangquan Mountain was also sealed there from the primordial universe, it is normal that its spiritual energy has become thin after such a long time.
"The cultivation environment here is too good. If you cultivate here, your cultivation speed will be at least dozens of times faster than in the Heavenly Realm, and in some good places, it might be even faster!"
Lu Ming pondered.
No wonder Kang Long has reached the level of a demigod in less than five hundred years of cultivation.
The cultivation conditions here are far superior to those in the Heavenly Realm.
The primordial universe, the vast world, is known as the realm of gods, the end point of all smaller worlds—this is not just a saying.
"Boy, you're here now, aren't you going to let me go!"
Kang Long shouted again.
"Shut up. As far as I know, the entire Dark Star is your Yuanluo Palace's territory. If I let you go, wouldn't I be courting death? I'll release you once I'm safe!"
Lu Ming said coldly.
"you..."
Kang Long was furious, but under such circumstances, he could only suppress his anger.
Lu Ming kept flying, deliberately seeking out secluded places to fly in. After more than half a day, he had no idea how far he had flown. He flew to a desolate mountain, where there was no one around.
After flying to this point, Lu Ming immediately stuffed Kang Long into the Landscape Painting and continued flying forward.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and Lu Mingfei flew into a wild mountain range.
roar!
Suddenly, a roar came from below, a roar that shook the heavens and the mountains. Then, a huge, blood-red maw rushed out from below and bit at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was shocked and unleashed his full power, using the Dominator's Way to stomp down.
The power of domination condensed into a giant purple-gold foot, which stepped on the gaping maw. With a roar, the purple-gold foot disintegrated, and Lu Ming was blasted away by a powerful force.
"Such astonishing power, equivalent to the second level of the Void God Realm, what is that?"
Lu Ming was secretly alarmed and used this power to fly at high speed.
Bang! Bang!...
The earth rumbled, and Lu Ming saw a colossal creature, as large as a mountain, standing firmly on the ground, chasing after him.
