Chapter 499: 456 hope 2

After a while, a silver-white shuttle-shaped spacecraft flashed past above Suiyang, accelerating towards the sky at dozens of times the speed of sound.

This was a specially made spacecraft that, given Li Chengyi’s physical condition and certain buffering devices, could completely withstand the inertial force of fifty times the speed of sound without harm.

The spacecraft pierced through the clouds and surged into the cloud sea, flying higher and higher.

Soon, the sky became bluer and its color deepened.

Whir!

After a short time, everything in front of him turned from blue-black to pitch black.

In the sparse depths of space floated a gigantic silver-white orbital belt.

That orbital belt connected one space fortress after another, resembling wheels, floating in the Earth-Moon expanse, slowly rotating.

A team of ceremonial spacecraft had already lined up neatly, welcoming his craft.

The people of the Li Family from Jiu Yi had long been waiting here to lead the team.

But Li Chengyi paid no attention to the welcoming party, his gaze suddenly drifting towards the deep space far away.

"Has someone from Jiu Yi already gone to explore? That’s the disturbance of the Shadow Eater, isn’t it? That huge black vortex," he asked, but his tone carried certainty.

"Yes," the captain responsible for piloting quickly responded. "Four Lords of Jiu Yi have already gone personally to the black vortex to investigate the situation."

"No...." Li Chengyi suddenly shook his head, "It’s not there...."

Previously, the distance was too great, but now that he was closer, he could sense clearly that the three-headed Shadow Dragon of Shadow Eater was gathering something.

And the location was not where they thought....

"Sir... What did you just say?" The captain, operating the spaceship panel, did not hear clearly for a moment.

"It’s nothing...." Li Chengyi was about to repeat, but then a mysterious expression flashed through his eyes, and he did not answer.

"Lord Dongjun is waiting for you at the fortress, hoping that you will provide suitable advice regarding this matter, You still have ten minutes to gather your thoughts," the captain reported respectfully.

"Additionally, the emergency dispatch for your support is also due to concerns that White Star might launch a targeted offensive...."

As the captain spoke, he turned his head to look back and suddenly his expression froze.

Where is he?

Li Chengyi, who had just been sitting inside the spacecraft, was now... gone!?

The captain’s eyes immediately filled with panic. The man was almost here, how could he just disappear?

Could something have happened?

Near the right side of the Yumen Fortress cluster near the Earth-Moon area, there was a small gravitational vortex belt storing space debris.

This was a space garbage collection belt jointly created by the Earth-Moon and White Star under a tacit agreement.

Following the proposal of the environmental organizations, both camps set up a small gravity point and discarded all waste there.

Over time, the debris here gradually coalesced into clumps of garbage meteorites of various sizes.

The largest was even as big as a city. Tens of kilometers in diameter, gray-black in color, mostly made up of discarded satellites, space station cores, and industrial waste.

And at this moment, on one of these garbage meteorites.

Below a layer of discarded metal, within a gigantic hollow hundreds of meters in diameter.

Three-headed Shadow Dragon, Saul, Ying, and Farn, were gathered together, gazing at the newly forged black Dragon Scale Throne before them with burning desire in their eyes.

They had poured nearly all the accumulation of their years into this single promotion ceremony.

The Dragon King Ceremony...

They had collected millions of life shadows just for this moment.

"The Great Shadow Vortex has successfully diverted the attention of Jiu Yi and others. Now, all we have to do is wait for the ceremony to start, the throne to form, and then we can complete the final step of the entire ceremony and achieve the King of Shadow Dragons rank!" Farn spoke with a tinge of fervor.

"Two hours left, it’s coming.... it’s coming...." Saul licked his lips, unable to wait any longer.

They never thought they’d have another chance in their lifetimes, but...

The opportunity had come so abruptly.

"Ying, you were the last to leave, right? You weren’t spotted by anyone, were you?" Farn suddenly asked.

"No, I left using Shadow Replacement, and no one noticed," Ying shook her head.

"Then that’s strange, we have guests...." Saul said gravely.

In the dark hall, the three-headed Shadow Dragons, now displaying their dragon-headed humanoid forms, their eyes faintly glowing with pale golden light at the mention of visitors.

"Not someone from Jiu Yi," said Farn. "But it’s an old acquaintance of ours."

"Ding Meng, block them," he turned his head towards the side.

From the darkness there, Ding Meng of Jiu Yi, with half of her face covered in black Dragon Scales, clearly transformed into a Dragon Descendant, slowly drifted out.

The three Shadow Dragons, having spent so many years in the Black Sea, naturally had their own unique skills, and developing Dragon Descendants and controlling the wills of living creatures were among their most prideful abilities.

"Understood," Ding Meng responded solemnly.

Behind her, two figures emerged, both Dragon Descendants clad in Dragon Scales.

Among them, one face, if seen by someone from the Zhao Family of Jiu Yi, would be instantly recognized—that was without a doubt Zhao Xianrou’s face!

Ever since she left Chaoyu, she had mysteriously disappeared, and no one would have guessed that she was here, now an elite general of the Shadow Eater.

On the surface of the garbage meteorite.

Two figures gently descended to the ground and stood firm.

Both individuals were dressed ordinarily, clad in thick black armor with white ghost-faced helmets, with no organizational insignia, clearly intending to hide their identities.

"Is this the location you have marked?" asked one female, her voice low.

"Indeed, if nothing unexpected happens, this is the place. Many of our people have been captured and brought here, and they were stripped of the chips implanted in their bodies. But to think that that would be enough to escape our tracking is foolish," another man replied icily.

"We’ve had quite a few people captured and brought here as well. It seems this force is bold, daring to provoke our two major organizations simultaneously," the woman said.

"How do we deal with it?" the man asked.

"Since both you and I have personally come here, let’s just break in and make it quick. After such a long investigation, a thunderous strike is naturally in order," the woman said.

"Alright."

Looking at the chaotic pile of junk asteroids in front of them, the two took action together.

Their bodies rapidly deformed, expanding and enlarging, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into two grotesquely beautiful specialized Reinforced Humans.

One person was covered in pitch black, with four blue-purple light wings spraying out from his back and a network of purple phosphorescent circuit patterns flowing over his body.

The other person was a mere glossy white exoskeleton, accompanied by a layer of faintly rippling, semi-transparent shields.

At the same time, a dark red Flying Yi, like a phoenix, circled rapidly around her.

"Battle God Form: Hong Lian Phoenix."

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Flying Yi pounced on the woman, melting into a layer of gauze that covered her entire body, as terrifying high-temperature flames spread out from her center.

"Let’s go, Minister Chen," the woman said indifferently.

"Miss Kong, you’re not planning to hide your identity anymore?" the man said discontentedly, also deliberately pointing out the woman’s identity.

"There’s no need. In a quarter of an hour, everything here will be reduced to ashes," the woman said calmly, flying forward.

"Tsk tsk... Flying Yi and Reinforced Human integration, a new technology?" Minister Chen followed closely behind, gently floating up, with speculation flickering in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the two soared into the air, dove down, and disappeared into the depths below.

Several seconds after the two vanished,

a figure in a white robe appeared abruptly on the surface, looking at the two holes that had emerged on the ground.

"The world is about to lose its balance... Alice, take some people and go have a look..."

"Yes, Lord Lien," a similarly white-robed person tore forcefully out from behind him.

The white robe billowed, forming a new human shape as it landed, and the body also grew new patches of white fur.

The white fur automatically wove into a white robe, covering the whole body, creating a second humanoid shape.

From beginning to end, the two figures in white robes never showed their faces, nor did they possess any human-like skin, appearing more like objects shaped like humans.

"Lord, you’ve finally come back for a visit, won’t you go see your father?" the woman identified as Alice asked softly.

"As I am now, even if I went, I wouldn’t be able to recognize him..." the man in the white robe sighed.

"The world’s changes have been increasingly frequent lately, our efforts might not last much longer..."

"If only Master of the Mountain were still here..." Alice sighed.

"He’s already done what he should. The world owes him, so there’s no use hoping for more," Lien said, "Go."

"Yes."

Alice moved forward gracefully and vanished in the blink of an eye.

After waiting a while, just as Lien was about to leave as well, he suddenly turned his head towards the distant stars.

"Hmm!?"

An immensely huge presence, so startling that it almost frightened him, was rapidly approaching this place.

After a moment’s thought, he quickly became invisible and disappeared from the spot.

But just a few seconds after his disappearance,

a flicker of black light appeared.

A man in a white shirt and black trousers, with short hair and pale golden glows in his eyes, emerged in a blink.

It was Li Chengyi, who had just left the spaceship.

"So many interesting folks have gathered here..."

His immense Consciousness Power quickly covered the surroundings, detecting clues.

The resonance of bloodlines allowed him to immediately detect a Dragon King Ceremony taking place here.

The bloodlines of three lower-tier Shadow Dragons were crystal clear in his eyes, just as the Shadow Dragon Sal had once been able to sense the mixed blood from afar.

A high-level King of Shadow Dragons could similarly sense the presence and general location of the three little creatures.

Therefore, Li Chengyi hesitated not at all, dropping everything to come here.

As for what to do once he arrived?

Of course, to stop it...

No... why should he stop the Dragon King Ceremony?

His plan was to wait for the Dragon Scale Throne to be formed and, at the last moment, seize the essence of the Dragon King Bloodline that they had put together, thereby increasing the purity of his own bloodline. That was the real reason he had hurried here in secret!

’The worthless should naturally step aside for a genius like me!’

Greed flickered in Li Chengyi’s eyes.

The King of Shadow Dragons was born with one Imprint, and if he could devour another complete Dragon King’s blood essence, perhaps he could Sublimate the dragon body and form two innate Imprints!

How could he give up such an opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step?

If he had decided to become stronger by any means necessary, then it was best to start now.

As for the three little Shadow Dragons who had lived for so many years and were still so worthless, after making their final contribution, they might as well die.

After all, they were so useless that even if they became Kings of Shadow Dragons, it would be a waste; it would be better to offer up their essence to him, allowing him to take another step forward.

Although they had agreed with the Mingyuan Group previously to keep to their own territories, there was no helping it; the world was just that cruel. In the face of absolute interests, the so-called verbal agreements were not worth mentioning.

Moreover, foreign species with different hearts are always a danger; these creatures from the Black Sea are too dangerous to stay in our world. Now is the best time to eliminate them.

A whoosh!

In an instant, his figure flashed and he too plunged into the underground hole and disappeared.
