Chương 267: Floating Continent

Zhao Rui listened quietly to the sounds of the local cuisine, occasionally sampling the unique delicacies of the land.

The duelists cursed and swore at Ajdo's evil deeds, saying that he treated them as "slave gladiators."

The strong were not given respect.

These duelists spoke with an air of arrogance, which was also an affirmation of their own strength.

To survive among hundreds or thousands of duelists and become one of the best requires immense strength.

It's understandable to be a little arrogant.

However, apart from the Nine Heavens Venerable, none of the duelists revealed their origins in detail.

Even though his race is known to many, he is cautious in his words and actions and rarely mentions his race.

Zhao Rui felt a chill run down his spine!

Although it's unclear whether the Dark Forest Theory applies to the Reiki universe, the saying "One should always be wary of others" is absolutely a wise saying for dealing with people.

Even though these duelists have different civilizations, beliefs, and even biological characteristics, the sense of vigilance ingrained in their bones is the same.

"I am Rob the Stalker. I always thought you were a member of the Light Clan, since your appearances are quite similar."

At this moment, a blue-skinned duelist with a pair of bat-like wings on his back, standing next to Zhao Rui, turned his head to look at Zhao Rui and asked a question.

"Zhao Rui is considered a distant branch of the Light Clan!"

Zhao Rui replied casually.

"Oh, I see! The Light Clan has existed for tens of millions of years, and its descendants are spread across many parts of the universe. It's not surprising."

Rob's body was covered with strange runes, and as he spoke, the runes on his cheeks would emit a slight energy fluctuation.

"And how did you end up being trapped in the base by Ajado?"

Zhao Rui asked casually.

"It's a long story. I was originally tracking a thief from the Dark Realm, but unexpectedly, I was drawn into Agedo's territory by a spacetime turbulence set up by him —" Zhao Rui suddenly realized that Ajie had used some strange setup to create a channel in his space.

As long as spatial turbulence occurs in a certain area, there is a certain probability that it will be diverted to his territory.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to capture so many powerful beings in the vast starry sky.

Hearing the two talking, a grotesque duelist who was five meters tall and looked like a lump of jelly also came over.

However, it didn't bring its whole body over; instead, it extended a transparent, pectin-like tentacle from its body, and then a head-like thing appeared on the tentacle.

This thing has no mouth, but is full of holes, and the sound comes from inside.

The sound emanating from this continent had a reverberant quality.

He calls himself the King of Starry Sky Spinning Tops.

Zhao Rui had witnessed its fighting prowess; it was extremely formidable, a stark contrast to its robust and sturdy appearance.

It moves at an extremely fast speed; in the blink of an eye, it can melt away and disappear from one place, and then reappear in another.

Its body is extremely sturdy, difficult to tear with either energy or brute force, and its shape is ever-changing, capable of transforming at will without any fixed form.

This ability can be seen as a super-plus version of the liquid metal robot from Terminator.

Water has no fixed shape, yet it is everywhere.

Everyone used telepathic communication, a form of communication that reaches the soul level, similar to communicating using low-level code.

Communication becomes more unified, but also more indirect.

Intelligent beings all generate ripples of consciousness. These ripples, or fluctuations in thought, generate energy surges, which in turn form language.

Of course, this kind of communication also has its limitations. For some overly specific descriptions, there is a lack of more detailed expression, and we can only get a general understanding of some psychological reactions.

Communication relies more on the level of wisdom, telepathic connection, and depth of thought between the two parties.

Just like trying to communicate with a tree, you can't possibly communicate about Yui Hatano's size, because that's too advanced.

"Gentlemen, we have shared hardships together. If we are to fight against Ajado tomorrow, I hope you will all lend your full support. I will not be able to eat or sleep peacefully until this grudge is avenged."

"That's natural!"

"We will not rest until this grudge is avenged!"

Everyone echoed this sentiment.

Zhao Rui couldn't help but nod. Speaking purely from a personal perspective, this revenge definitely had to be taken.

After staying for a while, the Nine Heavens Venerable arranged for his subordinates to take everyone to a resting place.

The living environment here is vastly different from that of the Duelist Base, where you can freely change the scene and alter the surrounding environment according to your needs.

This is a normal dwelling, though it's different from the houses on Earth; it's more like a beehive.

The various facilities inside also have a very exotic style.

Zhao Rui sat cross-legged, his divine soul covering the entire room and gradually radiating outwards.

Being able to escape the dueling arena so quickly was something he hadn't expected.

He originally wanted to copy all the duelists' techniques, and it would be even more perfect if he could fight Big Head Monster Ajedo and learn his skills.

As a result, the appearance of two great deities, the Great Mother of Goddess and the God of Light, disrupted all the plans.

This forced him to flee in haste.

After all, while strength is valuable, freedom is even more precious.

If you give him another chance, he will still choose to run away and stay away.

However, this place is not necessarily safe.

Why would the Nine Heavens Venerable, who occupies such a vast territory and has hundreds of millions of followers, need to win over these people?

Aren't you afraid of them turning against you?

After all, none of them were exactly kind people.

Judging from his repeated mentions of that mysterious drink, it's most likely that it was that he drove everyone to go treasure hunting.

Zhao Rui didn't know what these duelists were thinking, but he certainly wasn't interested.

What does it mean to seek fortune in danger?

With the system at our fingertips, why take any risks?

"See if there's any possibility of replicating the technique; if not, leave as soon as possible."

Zhao Rui pondered to himself, and then involuntarily closed his eyes.

The floating continent is vast, teeming with all sorts of strange and wondrous creatures. Among them lives an intelligent being called Moro!

Moro was born intelligent and physically strong, able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb it to enhance himself.

Over millions of years of reproduction and growth, the Moro race grew stronger and stronger, gradually occupying all the blessed lands and grotto-heavens on the entire continent.

Strange beasts and monsters have been completely relegated to the margins of society.

As the Moro clan prospered, many outstanding and exceptional individuals emerged within its ranks.

They not only cultivated to an extremely high level, but also developed the idea of leaving the continent and exploring the starry sky.

Among them were ten people known as the Ten Celestial Venerables, whose skills were as profound as creation itself, and whose magical powers were extremely high. They constantly explored the starry sky, changed the landscape, and searched for star paths.

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Morro people have long since dominated the starry sky, taking over the entire galaxy and transforming their homeland into what it is today through extraordinary means.

The Nine Heavenly Venerables, one of the best among them, are one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables of this generation.

"These people are no weaker than you and me. If we can get their help to break through the Star Sea Maze, there is still a great chance that we will find that treasure."

In a secluded cave, the Nine Heavens Venerable sat on the ground with nine people who looked very similar to him, and spoke with solemn expressions.
