According to the data, King Verdant End has been an Immortal for less than three thousand years. The reason his defensive capabilities are so impressive is probably due to having a pseudo-Heavy Treasure or Heavy Treasure that perfectly suits him.
As King Sand Claw charged towards Ender in the Glacial River Belt, he muttered to himself, "King Verdant End has been an Immortal for such a short time, and he's spent it perfecting defensive secret techniques. His attack power is probably only at the High Stage King-Level."
"Although my defensive capabilities are not as good as King Verdant End's, this is one of my core life-saving skills as a Pinnacle Stage King-Level expert. His attack power cannot cause me to lose a large amount of Immortal Energy."
"I can't hurt him, and he can't hurt me either without burning Immortal Energy."
King Sand Claw felt a hint of anticipation, "If I can suppress a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal with High Stage King-Level strength, perhaps my status within the race will increase."
After only a brief thought, King Sand Claw had already reached Ender, swinging his pair of black giant pincers. Intense Space Law fluctuations emanated from them, also containing terrifying power.
Seeing King Sand Claw swing his giant pincers, Ender did not dodge or evade. He tightly gripped his long spear, Void Spear, and directly used a secret technique to clash head-on.
Boom!
When the black giant pincers and the silver-white long spear clashed, terrifying power collided, and intense Space Law fluctuations surged forth, tearing open cracks in the void space.
After one strike, both sides continued to attack. The silver-white long spear and the black giant pincers continuously collided, causing the surrounding space to be torn apart repeatedly while self-repairing, and countless space fragments were annihilated in the battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Waves of terrifying energy fluctuations and spatial fluctuations continuously spread in all directions, alarming the Marquis-level Immortals within a billion kilometers who detected the tremors with their detectors.
Those Marquis-level Immortals knew that such intense energy fluctuations most likely indicated a clash between King-level Immortal, which made them hesitate whether to leave.
"This King Verdant End's attack power is a bit weak, even weaker than I imagined for a High Stage King-Level. It barely reaches the Low Stage King-level Immortal level."
After a brief exchange of blows for a few seconds, seeing that he couldn't repel King Verdant End, King Sand Claw couldn't help but mutter to himself, "However, his defensive capabilities are indeed formidable. It seems the rumors of him withstanding King Mistflare's burning Immortal Energy attack are true."
"It's too difficult to brutalize him with my attack power, unless I burn Immortal Energy. But even burning Immortal Energy won't hurt him, so it's not worth burning Immortal Energy just to brutalize him."
"I need to end this battle quickly. Rumor has it that King Verdant End's Divine Body is over a hundred meters tall. Continuing to fight him is too disadvantageous for me, a pure loss of Immortal Energy."
With this thought, King Sand Claw had already decided to retreat, unwilling to entangle with Ender.
He saw his pair of black giant pincers smash towards Ender. He didn't burn Immortal Energy, but the black giant pincers contained terrifying power, as he had already unleashed his strongest attack secret technique!
A black light flashed, seemingly swallowing everything. At that moment, the surroundings were pitch black, and a smooth crack was torn in the void space.
Boom!
Although Ender parried, he was still knocked back by the black light.
Having landed a blow, King Sand Claw did not hesitate, directly flashing out of the battlefield, his speed bursting forth astonishingly.
Whoosh!
Like a black stream of light, King Sand Claw, whom many Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal couldn't kill, was naturally not slow. In an instant, he had escaped over a hundred thousand kilometers away.
"King Verdant End, your defensive capabilities are truly impressive. You're probably relying on a suitable pseudo-Heavy Treasure or Heavy Treasure, aren't you?"
King Sand Claw, transformed into a black stream of light, transmitted, "Compared to your defensive capabilities, your attack power is too weak, and I estimate your speed isn't great either. You should go back and perfect your secret techniques!"
Ender remained in place, gazing at the fleeing black stream of light, but his brow, concealed by his helmet, was slightly furrowed, as if he was contemplating something.
"Just a little more..."
After a moment of thought, he still couldn't grasp that elusive clue, and finally shook his head helplessly, "What a pity. If I had fought King Sand Claw for a little longer, I might have gained an insight into the Law."
"As for Space Law, all the Law secret patterns in the 'Space Teleportation' profound aspect have been analyzed by me, but comprehending 'Space Teleportation' is not easy."
Ender used a miniature detector to shield himself, then took out the Shadow Dragon spaceship and entered it.
Arriving at the spaceship's control room, he sat on the sofa and softly said, "Little Dawn, mark the positions of all detectable King-level Immortal within a billion-kilometer radius."
Swish!
A light screen appeared, with only two light spots, one of which was blue.
"Is there only one King-level Immortal? From the direction, it should be King Sand Claw."
Looking at the sole red light spot on the light screen, Ender shook his head slightly and said, "Never mind. There's no point in looking for King Sand Claw again. Even if I go to him, he'll still run."
"Let's change locations. The Glacial River Belt is so vast, I'm bound to encounter King-level Immortal from the enemy faction."
As he spoke, he controlled the spaceship to head towards the upstream section of the Glacial River Belt.
...
After King Sand Claw flew for hundreds of millions of kilometers, he found a piece of extremely cold ice to settle down, then consciously edited a message and sent it to the faction's communication channel.
Demon race faction, Hongwu Secret Realm communication channel.
"I just encountered King Verdant End in the Glacial River Belt. That King Verdant End's defensive capabilities are indeed impressive, but his attack power is too weak, barely reaching the Low Stage King-level Immortal level. I estimate his speed isn't great either."
"It feels pretty normal. That King Verdant End has only been an Immortal for over two thousand years. He probably focused all his energy on researching defensive secret techniques. Weak attack power and speed are not surprising weaknesses."
"Haha, if I had a defensive pseudo-Heavy Treasure or Heavy Treasure, I would also focus my energy on defensive secret techniques."
"You can envy him all you want, but it's no use. That King Verdant End already had King-level Immortal battle power during his World Master period. He most likely has a powerful teacher, and the treasures on him were very likely bestowed by his teacher."
"Although King Verdant End's attack power is weak and his speed is slow, his defensive capabilities are terrifyingly strong. It's probably not easy for even a Limit stage King to kill him."
"That's not necessarily true. Neither King Mistflare nor King Eternal Night are good at Soul attacks. If it were a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Soul Master, that King Verdant End would probably fall on the spot."
"If only I were skilled in Soul attacks, I might be able to obtain the defensive treasure on King Verdant End because of it."
"You're dreaming too much..."
After King Sand Claw started the topic, a group of King-level Immortal immediately began discussing it in the communication channel.
At the same time.
Edge region of Hongwu Secret Realm, Misty Sea.
Inside a biological spaceship currently navigating, there was an Immortal covered in blue scales.
His head was seven to eight meters in diameter, with three vertical pupils glowing deep blue on his forehead. He had no nose, and below his eyes was a large mouth full of white, sharp teeth. Below his head, there was no body, only eight light blue, long tentacles.
If Ender were here, he would recognize this as an Immortal of the Demon Eye Clan.
The Demon Eye Clan is a powerful race, affiliated with the Northern Territory Alliance, with one Universe Master and one Top-tier Universe Overlord.
"King Verdant End, suspected of having a defensive pseudo-Heavy Treasure or Heavy Treasure on him. He can withstand a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal's burning Immortal Energy attack with that treasure."
The Demon Eye Clan Immortal's huge mouth, full of white, sharp teeth, slightly opened, "As expected of humanity, one of the six Pinnacle races. A Genius who just broke through to Immortal actually has such a formidable treasure on him."
"Not to mention a Heavy Treasure, just a pseudo-Heavy Treasure is something only Invincible stage King-Level or Universe Venerable in our race possess."
Because there are countless races within the Northern Territory Alliance, and the number of Universe Venerable far exceeds any of the six Pinnacle races, they do not occupy the most essential areas of the Universe, and resources are relatively scarce.
Treasures like pseudo-Heavy Treasure have become items that only Universe Venerable can use in the Northern Territory Alliance. Ordinary First Class, or even Middle Class Universe Venerable, simply have no chance of obtaining Heavy Treasures.
"If I can obtain that treasure, even if I don't use it myself and offer it to the race, I can still gain considerable benefits. Perhaps I could even be taken as a Personal Disciple by a Universe Venerable."
Speaking of which, the Demon Eye Clan Immortal's three eyes gleamed, "King Verdant End! That treasure of yours is mine!"
...
Glacial River Belt.
After Ender navigated the Shadow Dragon for hundreds of millions of kilometers, he found another King-level Immortal through his detector.
That was King Gravel, a Low Stage King-level Immortal from the Zerg faction.
Controlling the spaceship, he headed straight for King Gravel's location. Because he used a miniature detector to shield himself, the other party did not discover him.
Once he reached a closer distance, Ender emerged from the Shadow Dragon and stored the spaceship in his world ring.
Whoosh!
Stepping on the Shadow Shuttle, he charged towards the extremely cold ice where King Gravel was hiding, "King Gravel of the Zerg faction, I hope you can bring me some gains."
Ender flew at full speed. Because the commotion was not small, his traces were discovered by King Gravel's detector. With a "boom," the latter burst out from the extremely cold ice, bringing out numerous small ice fragments.
King Gravel was relatively small, just over a meter tall, shaped like a groundhog clad in golden battle armor.
"Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal!"
When he felt the pressure released by Ender, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Human Pinnacle Stage Marquis-level, I am a Low Stage King-level Immortal! If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay a considerable price!"
Ender ignored him, directly swung the long spear Void Spear in his hand, and swept it horizontally towards King Gravel.
The silver-white long spear cut through space, drawing countless space fragments, forming a band of light like a river.
Because he had used a detector to conceal his tracks, when King Gravel emerged from his hiding place, Ender had already reached an extremely close distance, which prevented the latter from dodging.
Boom!
King Gravel was swept by the silver-white long spear and then impacted by countless space fragments. However, with the strength of his Low Stage King-level Immortal Body, he could ignore the impact of those space fragments.
"Huh? What's going on?"
After being swept away, King Gravel was first terrified, but then quickly turned to confusion, "The opponent clearly has the aura and pressure of a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal, but how can his attack power only be at the Low Stage King-level Immortal level, even slightly weaker than my own attack power?"
"Hmph! Human King-level Immortal, you are merely a Low Stage King-level Immortal, yet you dare to impersonate a Pinnacle Stage King-Level expert."
After taking a blow, King Gravel found that his Divine Body loss was negligible. So, he swung his battle saber in retaliation, transforming into a golden stream of light and charging towards Ender.
Seeing that King Gravel did not flee, a smile appeared on Ender's face, hidden by his full-face helmet. "Very good, fight me like this!"
Ender blocked with his long spear, stopping the golden stream of light. The long spear and battle saber collided, and powerful energy instantly erupted.
Boom!
Space was torn by the collision's power, and cracks in space appeared one after another. Invisible shockwaves sent a few ice fragments flying, and some fragments fell into the spatial interlayer.
The golden stream of light, having failed to land a blow, then launched a continuous barrage of attacks. Brilliant golden saber light appeared one after another, each containing considerable power.
The golden saber light was dazzling, forming golden waves that seemed capable of drowning Ender.
"This King Gravel's speed is so fast, I'm afraid he's three points faster than some High Stage King-Level Immortal!"
Ender was somewhat surprised, constantly swinging his long spear to parry. After continuously blocking dozens of times, he could only counterattack once.
King Gravel, while swinging his battle saber, transmitted, "Haha! Human King-level Immortal, do you see? This is my, King Gravel's, strength."
Continuously parrying, Ender looked at the continuous dazzling golden saber light and felt a slight stir.
He seemed to see the Space Law mysteries of 'Space Teleportation' from those brilliant saber lights, which filled his heart with joy.
Ender's face, hidden by his full-face helmet, broke into a smile, "Haha, I've gained something!"
He didn't make a sound, continuing to parry those brilliant saber lights, as if he could only passively take a beating.
"Hmm? Something's not right!"
King Gravel attacked continuously for over ten seconds and found the situation very wrong. "That human King-level Immortal is slow, and although he tried hard to parry and defend, he was still struck by my battle saber over a hundred times, yet his aura and pressure haven't changed at all?"
"How can this be?! My Immortal Energy has lost 1% from the continuous attacks, but why hasn't his aura and pressure changed?"
Realizing that something was wrong, King Gravel no longer had the desire to continue fighting. After delivering one more brilliant golden saber light, he directly retreated and fled the battlefield.
"Human King-level Immortal, why isn't your Divine Body damaged?"
King Gravel disengaged from the battlefield, escaping several hundred thousand kilometers away in just two seconds.
Seeing that Ender didn't pursue, he transmitted, "Clearly, your speed is so slow, you were attacked by me on your Divine Body at least a hundred times, yet your aura and pressure haven't changed at all. Why is that?"
"Because your attack power is too weak."
Ender gazed at King Gravel, who was several hundred thousand kilometers away, his eyes quite friendly.
Having been in this Extraterritorial Battlefield for so long, King Gravel was the first Immortal to actively fight him for such an extended period, and he even helped him gain insights into the Space Law aspect of 'Space Teleportation'.
"My attack power is too weak? That's impossible!"
Hearing Ender's reply, King Gravel angrily said, "My attack power is clearly stronger than yours, and you were suppressed by me to the point where you couldn't even counterattack. How could my attack power be weak?"
"You might not recognize me, but you should know my title."
Ender smiled and transmitted, "My title is King Verdant End!"
"King Verdant End?"
Upon hearing this, King Gravel's mind immediately brought up the data on 'King Verdant End'...
