Chapter 519 Chapter 519 – Despair
“He is indeed very strong and outstanding…”
Looking at Lu Yao in front of him, w.a.n.g Zhong sneered, “If he were still alive, even I wouldn’t dare to say that I would be able to surpa.s.s him…”
Compared to the strength that Chen Heng displayed back then, the willpower and talent that he displayed were even more outstanding. A young man who was not even 20 years old could rely on his Ancient Armor and his willpower to fight against the Crimson Knight at that time.
Such a thing had never been heard of in the past, let alone seen. After the incident, someone had retraced the battle and evaluated it, and came to a publicly accepted conclusion.
If Chen Heng were still alive and could continue to grow with his astonis.h.i.+ng talent and willpower, he would definitely be able to set foot on the path of a king in the future and become the pinnacle existence of the universe.
Although w.a.n.g Zhong boasted that his ability was unique and could continuously become stronger, he still might not be able to win against those people.
After all, sometimes, compared to the growth of pure strength, that kind of willpower was more important. The growth of pure strength, at a certain level, there would eventually be a limit.
Only if his willpower was strong enough could he finally pa.s.s through the king’s domain and become a character at that level.
“Unfortunately, he’s dead in the end…”
The cold smile on w.a.n.g Zhong’s face did not change. He looked at Lu Yao in front of him, and a mocking expression appeared on his face. “Moreover, he died protecting trash like you.”
“If you weren’t there, why did he have to sacrifice himself back then?”
Lu Yao’s expression was cold hearing these words. Her heart ached, and she could not help but fall silent. Looking back at the past, one could easily discover some facts.
Whether it was ability, mind, or willpower, Chen Heng was far stronger than her, the so-called reincarnation of a king. If it were not for Lu Yao’s existence dragging him down, Chen Heng would not have needed to make a move at that time and go head to head against the Crimson Knight before he reached his peak.
That battle gave people reason to believe that if that young man had reached his peak, he would have the ability to fight with the Five Knights head-on or even win.
However, because of Lu Yao’s special existence, that young man had no choice but to make a move, ruining his future.
And Lu Yao, who had expended the young man’s life to survive, although she had the t.i.tle of the reincarnation of the king, she was not as strong as that young man.
This was not only felt by others, but even Lu Yao agreed with the point of view. Because the more she grew and progressed, the more she felt the difficulties of the road ahead and Chen Heng’s strength and talent back then. She did not think much of some things when she first came into contact with him, thinking that she could do it too. But when she truly came into contact with him, only then would she understand the difficulty and know how powerful others were. Lu Yao was like that at that moment. Therefore, she had nothing to say to w.a.n.g Zhong’s words.
“It’s been so long. I’ve always wanted to make up for the regret I had…”
w.a.n.g Zhong’s voice came from the front once again. His voice was filled with strong malice. “It’s a pity that he’s already dead.
“However, it’s the same for me to look for you.”
As he spoke, he paused for a moment before a look of antic.i.p.ation appeared on his face. “I only hope that your so-called reincarnation of the king will not disappoint me too much.
“As the reincarnation of the Golden King, slaughtering you should bring me quite a bit of improvement, right?
“I believe it will be stronger than those trash from before.”
“You can come and try…”
Up ahead, Lu Yao’s expression was cold. “Let’s see who will fall here…”
Following that, the great battle erupted. A terrifying power tilted towards each other and charged towards the other party. A great fight between Fifth Rank powerhouses erupted, causing the entire star to tremble.
Unlike the Qika Star from before, this star was very small, and it did not have any magic arrays protecting it, making it seem much more p.r.o.ne to destruction.
With the terror of a Fifth Rank existence, it would not be long before this star was destroyed. The great battle would probably take place directly in the galaxy at that time.
“I have to move faster.”
Lu Yao was fighting in the front while Ye Zi was hiding behind. She was sweating profusely as she was drawing a spell formation. What she was drawing was a teleportation spell formation.
Over the past year or so, Lu Yao had grown sufficiently. Not only had her strength increased, but even her willpower had also become much tougher. And Ye Zi had also improved quite a bit.
Her strength did not seem to have changed much, but she had improved quite a bit in other aspects. This was the case with the array formation. Over the past year, she and Lu Yao had experienced countless battles. Each time, they had to rely on the array formation to escape.
Thus, over a long period of time, her attainments in the array formation had improved greatly. Compared to a year ago, it could be said that she had become a completely different person. And at this moment, she could judge the situation with one glance and began to draw the formations with familiarity.
“I have to be quick. Yaoyao won’t be able to hold on for long…”
Her actions were very fast, and she was very anxious. Although Lu Yao was currently fighting with w.a.n.g Zhong, and it looked like they were neck and neck, her true strength was still only around the Fourth Rank.
She could have such combat strength due to the enhancement of the Ancient Armor and the Golden Mark.
However, back then, part of the Golden Mark had been broken by the Crimson Knight back then. Even now, she had not fully recovered. She still needed a few more years to recover.
At this moment, although the Golden Mark could also increase Lu Yao’s strength and strengthen her a lot, it could not last forever. As time pa.s.sed, when the power of the Golden Mark was temporarily exhausted, Lu Yao would definitely be defeated.
That was why Ye Zi was so anxious. She had to prepare the array formation before Lu Yao’s strength weakened and have all of them escaped from this place. Besides Ye Zi, the others also started to help.
A burly middle-aged man in a long robe and a young girl in a long dress also came forward to help. They drew the array formation beside Ye Zi. These two people were also Lu Yao’s companions.
In the past year or so, apart from the increase in Lu Yao’s strength, she gained a lot in other aspects. At this moment, besides Ye Zi, Lu Yao had gained two more followers. She was no longer the same as before. With the help of the other two people, Ye Zi sped up her movements and continued to work hard. After a while, the array released an extremely bright blue light.
“It’s ready to be used.”
Looking at the scene before him, leaf heaved a sigh of relief. She stood up and looked at the battlefield, shouting, “Yaoyao, it’s ready!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the other two people and led them into the array.
In the distance, wind and sand were everywhere, and the sky was filled with sand and dust that covered everything. A long dragon rushed out from the ground and ran towards w.a.n.g Zhong. In an instant, it repelled him and smashed him to the ground.
Then, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Lu Yao did not pursue the victory. Instead, she directly turned around and transformed into a long dragon, rus.h.i.+ng out of the teleportation formation.
An azure light flashed. As the formation was activated, the figures of Lu Yao, Ye Zi, and the others disappeared within the formation. Then, they were teleported far away.
When this process was over, the underground began to shake. Blood figures exploded in the sky, emitting a b.l.o.o.d.y smell that covered the entire sky. w.a.n.g Zhong walked out from the underground and arrived in front of the formation.
Feeling the chaotic spatial fluctuations in the surroundings, he was a little surprised. “Even the s.p.a.ce is in chaos…
“Is that follower’s attainments in the formation so high?”
In terms of escaping, Ye Zi was already very familiar with it. Not only did she activate the formation, but even the s.p.a.ce was also in chaos, completely eliminating the possibility of tracking the position through the spatial fluctuations behind them.
She could be said to be very experienced. While this sounded easy, it was very difficult to accomplish. From this point, it could be seen that Ye Zi’s attainments in the teleportation array formation could already be considered very high.
However, w.a.n.g Zhong was not surprised by this. After all, he had already heard the news before, so he was not surprised by all of this. “Run, run.”
When he thought of Lu Yao’s appearance, a cold smile appeared on his face. Then, he said coldly, “Your strength and reserves are limited after all.
“When your strength weakens, let’s see where you can run.”
His words fell. Then, as w.a.n.g Zhong waved his hand, the people around him walked over.
“Captain.”
The people around him gathered and looked at w.a.n.g Zhong respectfully. These were all w.a.n.g Zhong’s subordinates. Together with him, they were in charge of hunting down Lu Yao, the reincarnation of the Golden King. “Get the relevant departments to make preparations.”
Looking at his subordinates, w.a.n.g Zhong’s expression was cold as he said indifferently, “Within a day, I want to know the possible teleportation location of the Golden King.”
“Yes.”
In front of him, those subordinates felt a chill in their hearts. They quickly nodded and left. Then, w.a.n.g Zhong turned around and left the area. Only then did the people around him heave a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that working with people like w.a.n.g Zhong was indeed a very stressful thing. Because the slaughter divinity had been entrenched for a long time, it had unconsciously affected w.a.n.g Zhong’s body and origin, bringing his origin closer to the essence of the slaughter divinity.
This was not whether w.a.n.g Zhong remained calm or not, but it was his essence. It was like a person standing next to a Demon G.o.d would subconsciously tremble.
The life levels of both sides were already different, so naturally, they would feel fear. Furthermore, w.a.n.g Zhong’s current strength had some extraordinary attributes due to the long-term ma.s.sacre.
All of these would easily cause others to be afraid of this. Of course, this wasn’t the time to dwell on this. After all, the galaxy was vast and full of unknowns. Many people were more terrifying and more unbearable than w.a.n.g Zhong in the galaxy.
His current state was really nothing. At least that power was real. Hence, no one dared to say anything and could only silently endure.
Time slowly pa.s.sed. Soon, another three days pa.s.sed.
On another desolate planet, a great battle broke out once again. w.a.n.g Zhong once again intercepted Lu Yao. Their powers kept clas.h.i.+ng against each other on this planet, almost blowing the planet apart.
The terrifying power affected the surroundings and also changed the weather on a large scale, turning this area into a dangerous place. At this moment, Lu Yao’s performance was still strong. On her forehead, the Golden Mark was still flickering, providing power. However, it seemed to dim slightly. After a short while of the battle, Lu Yao again escaped, leaving this area. However, a few days later, she was again intercepted by w.a.n.g Zhong and his men. They started a huge battle on another planet.
This kind of thing had happened three times. No matter who it was, they could feel that something was wrong. Not to mention Lu Yao and the other two who had been hunted down all year round. With Lu Yao and the others’ sharp senses, they immediately realized some problems. “They can deduce our position…”
Lu Yao and Ye Zi exchanged glances, and this thought quickly flashed through their minds. In the past, although Lu Yao and the others would occasionally be caught up, as long as they escaped, they would be able to continue to recuperate for some time and would not be caught up immediately. After all, Ye Zi was very careful every time she drew the teleportation array. It would disrupt the s.p.a.ce and not leave behind any traces of herself. This move took more than a year to ensure their survival.
Even those who were much stronger than them were unable to capture them. However, from the current situation, the Round Table was finally able to react to the current situation.
Even if they were unable to react in the beginning, with the power and strength of the Round Table, they would definitely be able to respond very quickly.
The reason why Lu Yao and the others were able to enjoy themselves for more than a year was mostly due to the vastness of the galaxy and the need for time to mobilize resources. After all, this world was very big, and the distance between the galaxies was too far. Sometimes, when orders were given, it could be several years before they were truly carried out.
Thinking about it, the Round Table had probably already prepared a method to deal with them. It was only until now, when w.a.n.g Zhong arrived that they would use it.
As they thought so, they were a little worried. However, no matter what, now that the other party had found a way to deal with them, they could not continue using the previous method.
Compared to the Round Table, they were alone after all. Regardless of whether it was power or resources, they were far inferior. If they continued to waste time like this, they would probably reach their limits before the other party continued to seal them.
After all, the resources used to inscribe teleportation arrays were also extremely limited. If such a situation were to occur a few more times, they would probably die of poverty and would no longer be able to continue inscribing arrays. “We can’t continue like this…”
After realizing the situation in front of them, Ye Zi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Yao before saying, “My king, we have to change our strategy.”
“A short distance teleportation, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get rid of those people from the Round Table…”
“It will only waste the few materials we have…”
Lu Yao nodded in agreement to Ye Zi’s words. “You’re right.”
“Is there any other way?”
She looked at Ye Zi and the others before her and continued to ask.
“Perhaps we can try to gather all the materials and teleport over a long distance…”
The middle-aged man who had been silent all this while sitting beside Ye Zi said, “If we can cross a very long distance in one go, even if they can still find us, it will still take some time for them to come over.”
Even if the Round Table could find their coordinates, it would definitely not be an easy task to search for them. According to normal circ.u.mstances, the longer the distance they could teleport, the harder it would be for them to search for them, and the more time they would need to spend.
Therefore, if they could cross a very long distance in one go, they should be able to temporarily get out of their current situation and be safe once again. In this regard, Lu Yao and Ye Zi also nodded in agreement.
However, there was a completely new problem.
“We don’t have enough materials…” Ye Zi checked their reserves and said, “Moreover, it will also take a very long time to create a large-scale teleportation array.” “How long will it take?”
Lu Yao looked at Ye Zi and asked casually.
“At least ten days.”
Leaf hesitated for a moment and reported a number. When this time came, Lu Yao instantly fell silent. Before this, they had mostly used Lu Yao to buy time to create the array.
However, at that time, the array they had created did not take long. It would take less than one or two hours to complete. Lu Yao could easily buy enough time.
However, ten days was too long. When they were drawing the spell formation, they could not move, nor could they be disturbed by others. This meant that Lu Yao had to hold them off for ten days to a certain extent.
However, could she do it? To this extent, the few people present were silent for a long time. They did not speak for a long time. In the end, it was Lu Yao who continued to speak, breaking the silence.
“Ten days… Let’s make it ten days…”
Lu Yao stood up from her original position and stood up. She said decisively, “I will help you buy ten days.
“As for the remaining materials, we can only resolve to robbery.”
She raised her head and looked at the beautiful scene in the starry sky. Then, she said, “During this period of time, all of you can focus on drawing the array formation.
“As for the rest, leave it to me.
“There was no other ways…”
The middle-aged man who was sitting beside Ye Zi, who was somewhat silent, nodded and sighed. Even though there were four people present, the only one who had the ability to stop w.a.n.g Zhong was only Lu Yao. As for the other three people, although their strength wasn’t too bad, they were generally at Third Three and above. To an ordinary person, they could be considered very strong.
However, this bit of strength was still like paper to w.a.n.g Zhong. They wouldn’t be able to hold up one round before being taken down. Therefore, under the current situation, they could only rely on Lu Yao to buy them the required time.
There was no other way. After making a decision, in the following period of time, the great battles began frequently. In the nearby star field, the Round Table’s headquarters began to suffer frequent attacks. Many of the members of the Round Table died or were injured. During this process, Lu Yao naturally encountered obstacles, and she even met a true Fifth Rank existence.
However, this didn’t stop her. Two of the Fifth Rank existences were injured by her, and they were severely impaired, unable to move. Her frequent movements also attracted the attention of many people.
