Chapter 2698 - 4: Discarded Like a Chess Piece!
A terrifying being of earth-shattering presence silently perched atop an incredibly bustling star.
This existence’s body could be described as unprecedented.
It spans a full 100 kilometers, and its entire body is like a mass of flesh, allowing certain creatures to live on its surface. Even when it moves, these creatures do not fall off.
He is a terrifying creature at the Domain Master Level.
This domain master plays the role of a Star Field Manager in this starry sky.
Given his strength, he has certainly visited the Milky Way’s Central Region, and perhaps he can still return to the Milky Way Central District even now.
If the Insect Clan Queen were here, she would be absolutely shocked. Because the earth-shattering waves emitted by this Domain Lord Level Existence are not much different from hers, meaning if they were to fight, the Insect Clan Queen might win, but extinguishing this domain master would be beyond her reach.
"The one who left the energy circle is extremely backward, probably a domain master from some countryside. But when his power briefly swept past me earlier, it wasn’t inferior to mine. I won’t bother him for now as he’s somewhat formidable. Of course, if we meet in person in the future, I would ask him, at least teach him how to conduct himself in the Milky Way Central Region."
The 100-kilometer-wide terrifying creature sneered coldly.
"By the way, when that energy circle departed earlier, something seemed to be thrown down. The distance was too far, and the speed was too fast, so I couldn’t sense it clearly. Let’s do this... send some people over to check. If it’s someone thrown down by the other party to settle scores, I’ll laugh. If indeed it’s so, she’s not completely unreasonable."
This domain master analyzed a wave.
In the starry sky, especially in this starfield near the Milky Way’s Central Region, passing Strong Ones, aside from greeting, if in some urgent matter unable to stop and greet, would throw down relatively important subordinates as compensation.
Of course, the Insect Clan Queen doesn’t think this way; she really doesn’t understand such customs.
It just so happened that Jia Yan himself was about to undergo a promotion, leaving the energy circle, and not even the Insect Clan Queen expected that this Domain Lord Level Existence would have such a terrifying sensory ability, directly detecting Jia Yan’s location.
This put Jia Yan in some danger.
"Lord, let’s go. We’re at the Star River Middle Stage, so if it’s someone thrown down by the opposing party, they wouldn’t likely be at the Star River Middle Stage. After all, the Star River Middle Stage isn’t commonplace. Those from the countryside consider Star River Middle Stage a treasure, so they definitely wouldn’t throw down a Star River Middle Stage individual. It’s most likely just a Stellar level, so our going to handle it would be a show of respect."
Two Middle Level Existence in Star River approached the 100-kilometer monstrous meat mass and volunteered.
"You’re going? Well then, if you’re going, ask the creature thrown down as a guilty party about their background. But of course, it must be killed. After killing it, send a message to the opposing force saying we are willing to forgive their offense this time, given they threw down a guilty creature."
"Sir, what if the opponent resists to the end? After all, every strong practitioner doesn’t rise easily and surely doesn’t want to die."
"Resist to the end? Do I need to teach you this? Just kill them outright."
"Yes! Then we’re departing."
Whoosh whoosh.
In the starry sky, two shadows rapidly shot forth.
Though these two shadows weren’t as colossal as the 100-kilometer creature, each was more than fifty kilometers in size.
"Haha, earlier I specifically asked Lord if we should kill them if the opponent didn’t want to die. Without this question, perhaps future friction with the opponent’s force could lead to blame on us."
"Yeah, I heard in a neighboring starfield, two strong ones killed another incoming strong one’s chess piece. But when that strong one returned, they accused that starfield of killing their people, resulting in one of the two strong ones being pushed out by the starfield’s domain master to appease them. We can’t fall to such a state."
"But that shouldn’t happen. Our domain lord is stronger than the neighbor starfield’s domain lord. That domain lord was considered weak among domain lords, so they panicked when the opposite forced their hand, whereas our domain lord won’t."
"That’s true, but at least we received the domain lord’s order to kill the one thrown down, securing a legitimate command so we shouldn’t hold back."
"Of course."
The two Strong Ones talked and laughed along the way, feeling quite relaxed.
For them, this matter certainly felt easy.
After all, both beings were at the Middle Level Existence in Star River and weren’t considered weak among Star River Middle Stage. The domain lord had once mentioned that they had a slight chance to push for a Talent character at the Domain Master Level.
So they couldn’t imagine the chess piece thrown down could be more formidable than them.
These two never considered that the abandoned entity wasn’t truly ’abandoned’ but coincidentally fell into their starfield.
He lacked knowledge of these unwritten rules near the Milky Way Central District.
Jia Yan certainly didn’t know two incoming strong ones intended to kill him.
He wasn’t aware his whereabouts had been fully grasped by a Domain Lord Level Existence.
At this moment, oblivious to the impending crisis, he hid within Subspace, undergoing a breakthrough.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Energy continually flowed within his body, creating clashing currents of energy.
Jia Yan no longer suppressed these energies with Precision.
As the Matter-Antimatter Power had reached an exaggerated level of Precision, at this moment, he didn’t need more cultivation of Matter-Antimatter Power but sought the force to break through from Early stage to Middle Level.
So he chose not to refine the power’s conversion with Precision again this time.
Thus, the enormous power, though not quite pure, chaotically surged internally but served merely as a force to tackle breakthrough barriers.
"Haha, it’s indeed loosening. Actually, my body could have been promoted over a year ago, and I’ve prepared fully for the promotion. Though raising power between Galaxy Level is never that easy, it has loosened for so long that now a casual effort should achieve success."
Feeling the relaxation within, hinting at an evolution toward a higher level, Jia Yan felt a slight joy.
After all, the breaking power wouldn’t loosen so quickly unless such a promotion was highly feasible.
"Haha, I thought my breakthrough couldn’t be swift, so I planned earlier that if it was slow, I’d fly to the Milky Way Central District myself. Though the journey might be challenging, even dangerous, there was no other choice. Looking now, even the Insect Clan Queen foresaw my promotion speed, suggesting she chase after me later."
Jia Yan considered it; the Insect Clan Queen was indeed formidable. She might have even calculated his promotion speed.
Of course, the Insect Clan Queen trusted him, plus if Jia Yan’s promotion wasn’t fast, she would never have let Jia Yan leave the energy circle. She would’ve suppressed his promotion until bringing Jia Yan to the Milky Way Central District for advancement, ensuring her genius’s safety.
Now, Jia Yan is independently achieving promotion, and it’s quite rapid, so issues are few, granting her peace of mind.
As for whether Jia Yan might leave? He’d sooner be foolish; after being with the Insect Clan Queen for so long, arriving at the Milky Way Central Region’s gateway, making a divine escape? Impossible; he’s no lunatic.
