It was a creature that Lu Ming had never seen before. Its body was covered with scales, and its hind legs were thick and powerful, but its forelegs were very short and tucked in front of its body.
Its head resembled that of a lizard, with an enormous mouth covered in terrifying fangs, and its hind legs allowed it to run at an astonishing speed.
To Lu Ming's surprise, it actually exuded a terrifying dragon's might.
Lu Ming did not engage in a prolonged fight and focused on flying at full speed.
Currently, he has not triggered double combat power, so he is not yet a match for a second-level Void God Realm being.
After flying for a while, the creature stopped when it saw that it could not catch up with Lu Ming and did not continue the pursuit.
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. After that, he dared not be careless, so he suppressed his aura and slowed down.
Who knows if there are other powerful beings in this wild mountain range?
Sure enough, after flying for a while, Lu Ming encountered another enormous creature, somewhat similar to the previous one, but with an even more terrifying aura, reaching the third level of the Void God Realm.
Fortunately, Lu Ming noticed it early on and avoided it from a distance.
"Let's ask Senior Zulong!"
With a thought, Lu Ming conjured a flash of light, and the Ancestral Dragon appeared.
Zulong had been on guard and waiting. As soon as he appeared, he immediately scanned the surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Ming was the only one there.
"Lu Ming, what happened? Did you escape?"
Zu Long was extremely surprised.
This time, it was truly a gamble, and the chances of success were not high. He had even prepared for the outcome that Lu Ming would fail and they would all be arrested.
Seeing that Lu Ming was all alone in the surrounding area, and in a wild mountain range, he was naturally very surprised.
"Senior, we've managed to take the first step by sheer luck!"
Lu Ming immediately recounted the previous events.
"The son of the Palace Master Yuanluo? It seems to be the Palace Master Yuanluo's most recently born son!"
Zu Long's eyes flickered.
He has been in the celestial realm for countless years.
Kang Long had only cultivated for about five hundred years, so the Ancestral Dragon naturally didn't know about him.
"Lu Ming, you must keep Kang Long under your control. We are still on Dark Star, and Yuanluo Palace will definitely send a large number of powerful people to hunt you down. It might come in handy at a critical moment!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
"Senior, how do we leave Dark Nether Star?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Dark Nether Star is enormous, much larger than the Celestial Realm and the Evil God Realm combined. To leave Dark Nether Star and travel to other inhabited planets, one must use a star teleportation array!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
"Then we can use Kanglong to threaten them, and then use the teleportation array to leave this place..."
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"No!"
Zu Long shook his head and sighed, "The Starry Sky Teleportation Array must be guarded by a terrifying being. If you encounter an existence above the seventh level of the Void God Realm, even threatening Kang Long won't work. That kind of being is too strong. They could probably kill you before you even have a chance to react, or even annihilate your soul before you can even kill Kang Long!"
"So strong!"
Lu Ming also frowned.
"The Void God Realm is incredibly powerful, with each level stronger than the last. If you were to encounter a True God-level being, they could probably kill you with a single thought!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
"It seems my strength is at the very bottom of this primordial universe!"
Lu Ming felt somewhat helpless.
In the Celestial Realm and the Realm of Evil Gods, his strength had already reached its peak.
However, once he arrived in the primordial universe, he discovered that his strength was too weak. Any powerful individual or even a giant beast he encountered in the wild was stronger than him.
His path of cultivation is still very long!
Before reaching the Martial God Realm, one has only taken the first step in cultivation; entering the Martial God Realm is the second step.
The Void God Realm is merely the starting point of the second step; beyond that lie True Gods, Heavenly Gods, and God Kings, each more powerful than the last.
I wonder how terrifying an existence that reaches the God-King realm would be. They could probably destroy small worlds like the Heavenly Realm, the Primordial Realm, and the Evil God Realm with just a breath.
"Senior, is it possible to cross the starry sky directly and travel to other planets?"
After composing himself, Lu Ming asked again.
"Traversing the starry sky?"
Zu Long shook his head and gave a wry smile, saying, "The starry sky is full of dangers. Ordinary Void God Realm cultivators would probably explode and die as soon as they enter the starry sky, while True God Realm beings can stay in the starry sky for a short time, but they cannot traverse the starry sky!"
"To traverse the starry sky and travel from one inhabited planet to another, one needs at least the cultivation level of a Celestial God!"
"Celestial God Realm!"
Lu Ming was speechless and gave up on the plan.
"However, one does not necessarily need to rely on one's own cultivation to traverse the starry sky. In the primordial universe, there is a type of interstellar warship that can also traverse the starry sky, but it is too precious for ordinary people to possess!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
"What should we do then?"
Lu Ming's brows furrowed deeply.
The teleportation array is blocked!
If we can't cross the starry sky, how can we leave this place?
He doesn't have much time left, only one year. If he can't leave after one year, the small world inside his body will merge with the primordial universe.
Not only him, but all those who cultivate small worlds in the Heavenly Realm's cultivation system must do the same. At that time, the resulting fluctuations will definitely be huge. If they stay on Dark Nether Star, they will probably be detected by the Yuanluo Palace.
Staying on Dark Star is too dangerous; he must leave Dark Star within a year.
roar!
In the distance, a massive creature roared as it strolled through the mountains, shaking the very peaks.
"Wild beast!"
The First Emperor looked at the enormous creature and whispered.
"Wild beast?"
Lu Ming wondered, "Could it not be a divine beast?"
"In the primordial universe, there are two kinds of beasts: divine beasts and wild beasts!"
"Divine beasts are highly intelligent. Like humans, they created various cultivation techniques. Various races gathered and spread throughout the primordial universe, forming powerful forces!"
"As for wild beasts, they have very low spirituality. They cultivate according to their instincts and prefer to stay in the wild mountains!"
"In fact, in the earliest times, wild beasts and divine beasts were originally one race, but they gradually diverged over time!"
Zu Long explained.
Lu Ming nodded, understanding.
"This is a Desolate Dragon, an extremely powerful being among the desolate beasts. Legend has it that in the earliest times, Desolate Dragons and True Dragons were of the same kind!"
Zu Long then offered another explanation.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided that since they didn't have a better solution for the time being, they would go to some places where people were gathered to gather information before making further preparations.
Afterwards, Zu Long returned to Lu Ming's small world, and Lu Ming continued flying.
It took Lu Ming more than ten days to fly out of this mountain range. Then he concealed his aura, changed his appearance, randomly chose a direction, and flew forward.
The area of Dark Pluto is simply too large.
Even though Lu Ming's speed here is hundreds of times slower than in the Heavenly Realm, with his current cultivation level, he can still fly incredibly fast.
However, it still took Lu Ming several more days to see a city.
