Because the Mechanical Race Venerable who had originally been the teacher of Luo Fan's Mechanical Race clone was still in seclusion,
this trip went very smoothly.
Since the Mechanical Race was essentially impossible to enslave,
even though Luo Fan, as a Venerable's disciple, had not appeared for quite some time,
no one suspected that he might have been enslaved when he showed up again.
He did not even need to go to the Mechanical Empire headquarters.
He could simply find any location, make the purchase through the Mechanical Race virtual world, and have the item delivered.
This time, he bought a detector priced at over one hundred billion Chaos Units when converted into Human currency.
A detector of this level would cost at least several hundred billion, or even over a trillion, Universe Coins within the Human Race.
After all, such detectors could only be obtained through seizure.
The Human Race was completely incapable of manufacturing them.
This time, Luo Fan successfully established a mission.
Through the mission reward, he actually obtained an ordinary true treasure–grade detector.
This true treasure was called the Thousand-Mile Eye.
Although it was a true treasure–grade detector, Luo Fan still felt that it was simply an embarrassment among true treasures.
This detector could only scan everything within a radius of one hundred billion kilometers.
Anything beyond that range could not be detected.
Although it was a true treasure, this detection range was simply too small.
Luo Fan also understood that when technology advanced to its ultimate limit, it still required the engraving of law rune patterns.
At this level, technology was actually not much different from treasure refinement.
The difference was that technological items belonged to the mechanical-path category of treasures.
The refining methods of mechanical-path treasures had no inheritance at all within the Primordial Universe.
Only Sitting Mountain Guest knew them.
Therefore, within the Primordial Universe, the strongest technology could at most pose a threat to Immortals.
As for Venerables, there were basically no technological weapons capable of injuring them.
This Thousand-Mile Eye could be considered a special-category true treasure.
Generally speaking, no one bothered to research detectors beyond the true treasure level.
After all, experts who reached this level usually relied on domain-type treasures to sense their surroundings.
Domains could envelop areas spanning several light-years.
That was far more practical than detectors.
However, for the current Luo Fan, the Thousand-Mile Eye was actually quite suitable.
With the Thousand-Mile Eye, on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, only he would be ambushing others.
For alien races to ambush him was basically impossible.
Unless a Venerable or stronger existence descended.
As for Invincible Immortals who possessed domain-type true treasures, they were practically nonexistent on the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
After sending the Thousand-Mile Eye to his main body, the Mechanical Race clone conveniently bought several Evolution Hearts and then returned to Human Race territory.
…
The Spatial Lock Forbidden Zone.
After arriving here, Luo Fan directly found a place and cultivated for a while.
He discovered that the Space Worm clone was truly in its element within the Spatial Lock Forbidden Zone.
Moreover, the speed at which it comprehended the Space Origin Law was extremely fast.
At this moment, Luo Fan was located within a shattered continent.
Around him were spatial rifts everywhere.
The fluctuations of the Space Origin Law here were extremely intense.
For ordinary people, cultivating here would actually result in lower efficiency.
This was because the Space Origin Law here was far too violent.
But Luo Fan was different.
The Space Worm clone felt as if it had returned home.
Even if he encountered suddenly appearing spatial rifts without any preparation, he would suffer no damage at all.
From time to time, spatial storms would also sweep through this place.
But the current Luo Fan was no longer the one who could easily be swept away by spatial storms.
When spatial storms brushed past Luo Fan, they felt like nothing more than a gentle breeze.
Because this was the Space Worm clone,
after being swept by spatial storms, it even felt comfortable.
Even he himself had not expected this place to be so suitable for cultivation.
He planned to cultivate here for a period of time.
At his current cultivation speed, training here for a few years should allow him to grasp one of the three profundities of the Space Origin Law.
However, developments often failed to go as hoped.
Just as he was preparing to enter seclusion here, the Thousand-Mile Eye suddenly detected a peak Immortal-level expert more than forty billion kilometers away.
Upon checking, Luo Fan saw that this was a demon race expert from the Thousand-Tentacle Race, known as the Thousand-Hand King.
Originally, he did not want to bother with the other party.
After all, the Thousand-Mile Eye could completely block the other party's detector.
In that case, there would be no possibility for the Thousand-Hand King to discover Luo Fan.
However, Luo Fan noticed that the distance between the other party and himself was steadily shrinking.
Although the other party was not moving in a straight line, their general direction was clearly toward Luo Fan's location.
He realized that the Thousand-Hand King seemed to be searching for something.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Luo Fan's face.
"Sigh, I just wanted to go into seclusion for a while."
"I didn't expect someone to come knocking on my door."
He no longer hid within this shattered continent. Instead, he directly cast a wormhole and arrived on a nearby fragment of a continent close to the Thousand-Hand King.
Watching the Thousand-Hand King drawing closer on the detector, Luo Fan did not hesitate at all and directly unleashed Whale Fin Slash.
This was currently his strongest single-target attack.
While executing Whale Fin Slash, he also activated amplification secret arts and talent-based enhancement.
A terrifying giant whale appeared, directly tearing this continent fragment apart.
Spatial rifts instantly opened all around.
However, these spatial rifts had no effect whatsoever on the giant whale.
"Hm!"
"Someone's here!"
Caught completely off guard, the Thousand-Hand King had no time to react.
He could only respond in panic.
Large numbers of tentacles extended from the Thousand-Hand King's body.
These tentacles positioned themselves between the giant whale and the Thousand-Hand King, attempting to block this terrifying attack.
Sensing the dreadful energy fluctuations emanating from Luo Fan,
the Thousand-Hand King did not hesitate at all and immediately began burning divine power.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Some of the Thousand-Hand King's tentacles were directly annihilated by Whale Fin Slash.
However, the Thousand-Hand King himself did not suffer much damage.
He merely lost a small amount of divine power due to the annihilation of his tentacles.
"Human?"
"Who are you?"
"I've never heard of a human with this level of strength."
"And yet a powerhouse like you actually resorts to a sneak attack?"
The Thousand-Hand King's expression was rather unpleasant.
He could clearly sense how terrifying Luo Fan's secret art was.
The reason it had not inflicted much damage on him was mainly because he had just burned divine power.
One had to know that after an Immortal burned divine power, their strength would surge by a thousandfold.
The Thousand-Hand King was already at peak Immortal level. After burning divine power, even when facing some Invincible Immortals who were not burning divine power, he would feel no fear at all.
Aside from that, it was also related to Luo Fan's relatively low level of law comprehension and secret art mastery.
At this moment, the Thousand-Hand King also discovered the shortcomings of Luo Fan's attack.
He could not help but begin to speculate.
Could it be that Luo Fan was only able to unleash such terrifying power because he was burning divine power?
Otherwise, with such a low level of law comprehension, it should not have been possible to possess this kind of strength.
At this moment, the Thousand-Hand King also intended to stall for time.
"What is your title?"
"Someone with your strength shouldn't be an unknown figure, right?"
However, Luo Fan could not be bothered to respond.
Without hesitation, he continued swinging the Whale Fin Blade.
Although with the Thousand-Hand King burning divine power, Luo Fan's Whale Fin Slash had limited effect on him,
the Thousand-Hand King's divine body was not particularly large.
Continuously burning divine power like this could not be sustained for long.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Several more tentacles of the Thousand-Hand King were annihilated.
At this point, he was completely enraged.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, a large number of flying swords shot out from the Thousand-Hand King's body.
Each tentacle grasped a flying sword.
Countless tentacles slashed directly toward Luo Fan.
Terrifying lightning coiled around every sword.
Luo Fan could clearly feel that the surrounding time itself was being distorted.
Yes, the Thousand-Hand King was a rare Immortal-level expert who comprehended the Time Origin Law.
In the universe, most experts comprehended upper-tier laws with a focus on the Space Origin Law.
Those who comprehended the Time Origin Law were relatively rare.
The Thousand-Hand King was one of them.
Luo Fan noticed that time around the Thousand-Hand King had begun to change.
In some areas, the flow of time accelerated. In others, it slowed down. It was extremely bizarre.
He directly unleashed the Sea of Blade Light in an attempt to contend with the Thousand-Hand King.
However, the Sea of Blade Light, which had displayed terrifying power when facing the siege of numerous demon race Immortals before, was not very effective against the Thousand-Hand King.
The Thousand-Hand King's many tentacles danced through the void.
Lightning tore through space, occasionally ripping open spatial rifts.
Luo Fan wanted to unleash Whale Fin Slash again to attack the opponent.
However, after the Thousand-Hand King burned divine power, even with the Whale Fin Blade, Luo Fan's attack strength was still slightly weaker than his.
"Let's see whether you run out of divine power first, or I lose too much of mine!"
At this moment, the Thousand-Hand King's heart was filled with rage.
He had been peacefully exploring here, only to be ambushed by Luo Fan.
And from beginning to end, Luo Fan had not spoken a single word.
He felt that Luo Fan was looking down on him.
At this moment, Luo Fan was also feeling rather uncomfortable.
From time to time, a tentacle wielding a longsword would appear right in front of him and slash at him.
Although the Myriad Star Flower blocked the attacks,
those longswords still made Luo Fan feel extremely uncomfortable.
This was the first time he had encountered such an enemy.
The opponents arranged by the Lord of Ice Peak had mostly been at a similar level of law comprehension to his own.
Therefore, he had rarely encountered experts who comprehended the Time Origin Law.
Now that he was facing such an expert, he immediately felt constrained.
Time around him alternated between fast and slow.
This had a huge impact on his secret arts.
He knew that what the Thousand-Hand King had mastered were Time Acceleration and Time Deceleration, two of the three great profundities of the Time Origin Law.
When these two profundities were used together, the impact on an enemy was extremely severe.
Sometimes, just as Luo Fan adapted to the accelerated flow of time, the surrounding time flow would suddenly slow down.
This completely disrupted his combat rhythm.
In reality, the Thousand-Hand King was also feeling uncomfortable.
Because he discovered that the aura around Luo Fan had not weakened at all.
Normally speaking, when divine power was continuously burned, over time, one's aura would inevitably begin to decline.
After all, excessive consumption of divine power had a significant impact on strength.
Yet he found that from beginning to end, Luo Fan's aura had not dropped in the slightest.
