Chapter 466: – Encounter

The power that was unleashed just now was very strong. Perhaps ordinary people could not sense the beam that was unleashed just now, but for people who had reached a certain level, that kind of enormous power was exceptionally clear and obvious.

It would be impossible for Chen Heng not to feel it. From his point of view, the power just now was the most powerful he had ever witnessed since he came to this world.

Compared to this power, the strong individuals that he had seen prior to this were like candle flames compared to the blazing sun. There was no comparison at all. There was a huge disparity in strength.

If such a terrifying power were to erupt, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the land under Chen Heng’s feet collapsed. Fortunately, this power came and faded quickly. In just a short moment, it had disappeared.

In addition, this place was in the secret realm, and it was separated from the stars in the outside world by a layer. Thus, most of the aftermath was withstood, which was why it did not cause too much of an impact on the outside world.

However, Chen Heng could already imagine the impact of this incident at this moment.

“I’m afraid that in the original trajectory of destiny, this ruin would be exposed because of this reason.”

Chen Heng stood where he was and shook his head as he felt the aftermath of the enormous power just now. The power just now was so vast and terrifying that others couldn’t really ignore it even if they wanted to.

Even if there were the isolation of the secret realm, at this moment, the people outside would definitely notice the abnormality in this ruin. If nothing unexpected happened, the enforcers might already be on their way from the outside world.

The explosion of this power also exposed the coordinates of this ruin. It wouldn’t take long before this place was exposed, and everyone would discover it. This was probably why this ruin was discovered in the original trajectory.

If one were to think more broadly, perhaps this explosion was related to the reason why the forces of the Five Knights had been able to pursue them here so quickly. At this moment, many of the doubts in Chen Heng’s heart had disappeared.

“How troublesome.”

Not far away from Chen Heng, the white-haired old man also had a surprised look on his face. He seemed to be a little shocked by the changes in front of him. “After so many years, there are still traces of a king on this planet?”

“Traces of a king?”

Chen Heng’s heart moved. According to his guess, the source of this power was undoubtedly Lu Yao. And Lu Yao’s power came from the Golden King. Wasn’t she the king?

Perhaps in this world, the significance of a king was more than just a title, but a certain higher level of existence. Chen Heng looked at the old man and was about to open his mouth to ask about something.

However, the old man also turned around and smiled at Chen Heng at this moment. Then, he said, “A king’s power has been restored. This is rather surprising.

“If nothing unexpected happens, this place will soon become lively.”

Standing on the spot, he smiled at Chen Heng kindly and then said, “Young man, you can leave first.

“Remember, if you keep your faith, you will not be defeated.”

He said softly to Chen Heng. Then, the vision in front of him began to blur. It was like a scene from a dream. When Chen Heng reacted, everything turned into bubbles and disappeared in front of him.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at another corner of the secret plane. This place was very close to the exit. Chen Heng looked around, and there was no sight of Tang Rou, who should have been standing here. He didn’t know where she had gone. He shook his head and then began to walk in a random direction.

“Wait.”

Walking on the road, Chen Heng seemed to have sensed something. A familiar aura rose in his heart. Feeling that familiar aura, he couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment. Then, he continued to walk in the direction he had sensed.

At this moment, on the other side.

“We have to leave as soon as possible!”

Outside the huge palace, Lu Yao was holding onto Ye Zi. She was striding forward, trying her best to run out. If one looked carefully, one would find that Lu Yao’s current condition was not quite right.

Her appearance was still the same as before, but there was a green mark on her forehead now. It looked complicated and unique as if it had some kind of special meaning.

However, her face looked especially pale, as if she was affected by something. This was the consequence of obtaining the Ancient Armor. Unlike Chen Heng, who obtained the Ancient Armor fairly and squarely, Lu Yao’s path to obtaining the Ancient Armor was through a shortcut.

She did not rely on her own consciousness to awaken the Ancient Armor. Instead, she used the power of the Golden King to control the Ancient Armor in her hands forcefully.

Through this method of merging with the Ancient Armor, although it worked, the Ancient Armor’s consciousness did not recover and was still in a state of silence.

To a certain extent, Lu Yao had become the carrier of the Ancient Armor. This process not only did not give her any additional power, but it also gave her intense pressure, suppressing the power in her body at random times. She was unable to use her full strength at all times.

With the volume of the Ancient Armor, even if it was just a little power that was instinctively consumed, it was still a huge burden for Lu Yao. If it weren’t because of the suppression of the Golden Mark, Lu Yao would have already been sucked into a dried corpse.

It was precisely because of this that her current condition did not seem right. She had an inexplicable sense of weakness.

“My King, Hold on…”

She held onto Ye Zi and ran forward with all her might. In her arms, Ye Zi’s voice rang out continuously in her mind. “As long as we get out, I can think of a way to set up a seal to help with your current situation.

“Right now, we must leave as soon as possible. We can’t stay here any longer.”

She said so.

In response, Lu Yao did not say anything. She just nodded silently, indicating that she understood. She had a clear understanding of the situation before her eyes from just now until now.

Ever since they left the palace, the originally normal secret realm in the outside world had already undergone many changes. The space around them was very chaotic. The layer of space that was originally very thick and heavy had now become as thin as a layer of paper.

The originally normal secret realm world had become much more chaotic in the surroundings. It looked like it had been affected by some unknown power and was beginning to collapse.

Without a doubt, this was all the influence that she had caused just now. And the influence within the secret realm would definitely reflect to the outside world. At this moment, the secret realm in the outside world had most likely already manifested.

If she continued to stay here, she was afraid that she would not be able to leave when the people from the outside world came in later. Therefore, she had to hurry.

Lu Yao kept on increasing the speed of her feet. She wanted to rush toward a certain exit. She was indeed very fast, rushing over in a short period. Only when she actually got there that she realize that there were already some people waiting there.

“I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I didn’t expect to really catch a big fish.”

At the exit, a figure was standing there. It was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man dressed in white. His gaze was cold as he looked at Lu Yao, and then he revealed a smile. “It seems like my luck is not bad after all.

“Now, hand over the things you obtained inside.”

He stood where he was with his hands behind his back as he looked at Lu Yao with a scrutinizing gaze. In his eyes, Lu Yao’s current appearance was just an ordinary little girl. She did not seem to be a threat at all.

This made the man secretly relieved. He naturally understood the truth that one should not judge a book by its cover. Sometimes what looks weak may not actually be weak. But there are limits to this.

Judging from Lu Yao’s appearance, the horrifying power just now should have nothing to do with her. She should be just a lucky explorer who discovered this ruin earlier than anyone else. She should not be much of a threat. So he let down his guard and smiled.

Lu Yao’s body suddenly froze.

‘What do we do?’

The man in front of me is obviously squatting here, waiting to rob a fortune off people. And she had the misfortune to encounter him directly. From the looks of it, she’s not going to get away with this. He wouldn’t stop until he got all the things she had obtained in the ruins.

Then, should I run?

She looked to the side. There, a golden door had been opened and was stabilized.

“Don’t even think about running away.”

As if he had read her mind, the man turned around and looked at her with a disdainful expression. “This door is here. I’ll give up if you could get past me to reach it.

“But what can you do even if you reach it?”

He smiled. “I’ve already memorized your appearance. Unless you get outside of Qika Star, even if you go out, you can only hide forever.

“Is there a need to do this?

“Hand over the things you took inside obediently and act as my guide. Not only will I spare you this time, but I’ll also give you a generous reward. I will definitely not mistreat you. How about it?”

He said calmly as he looked at Lu Yao. However, in the next moment, he was stunned. Because at this moment, he suddenly noticed Lu Yao’s forehead and noticed that unique green mark.

On Lu Yao’s forehead, the green mark was so clear that it seemed to contain some mysterious power, making one’s heart tremble with inexplicable throbbing at a glance.

Looking at the unique green mark, the man’s body began to tremble. At this moment, he suddenly thought of some ancient records. In an instant, his face turned red.

“The Ancient Armor.”

In an instant, he became extremely excited. “This is the mark of the Ancient Armor… and it is one that has not been absorbed or found a worthy master.

“Is this my lucky day?”

His face flushed red, and his mind was filled with excitement at this moment. He had an inexplicable sense of excitement. In front of him, an afterimage flashed past and directly charged forward.

The man didn’t even look and directly threw a punch. In an instant, an enormous power surged down, enveloping all directions, directly blocking the path that Lu Yao wanted to take.

“Since you’re already in front of me, do you still want to leave?”

A huge aura bloomed, and that kind of aura was particularly frightening. Even just sensing that kind of aura would cause one’s heart to tremble. This was even more so for Lu Yao.

After all, she was just an ordinary girl. It had only been a few months’ time for her to awaken the Golden Mark. At this moment, her cultivation level was just equivalent to a normal Martial Artist. This kind of power was undoubtedly inferior to the man in front of her at this moment.

“General Level!”

Lying in Lu Yao’s arms, Ye Zi felt the aura released by the man in front of her. Her expression was a little ugly. At this moment, she had an ominous premonition.

The so-called General Level was the level above Level Three, which was Level Four. Regardless of whether it was a Martial Artist or a Beastmaster, there would be a qualitative change as long as one reached Level Four.

This level was known as the General Level. An individual of General Level was regarded as strong even in any place. Even under the command of the former Golden King, while a General Level was nothing to be amazed at, it was still at the middle level. With Ye Zi’s current strength, she might not match a General Level.

In an instant, an astonishing gust of wind whistled over and instantly sent Lu Yao flying, completely suppressing her. Towards Lu Yao, the man had no intention of holding back at all. With a swing of his fist, he intended to beat Lu Yao to death. This was also out of caution.

After all, with the appearance of this secret realm’s phenomenon, the number of people who would come to explore would inevitably increase. Who knows, someone might just arrive in front of him.

If he did not make his move and grabbed the Ancient Mecha as soon as possible, he could be discovered by others, and there would be more hassles.

However, what surprised him was that the punch he threw with all his strength did not kill Lu Yao. At this moment, she lay on the ground. Her face looked even paler, but she did not die. In fact, there did not seem to be many wounds on her body.

A layer of green armor slowly appeared on her body, enveloping part of her body at this moment. It seemed that she did not die from the punch just now because of the protection of this layer of armor.

Looking at this scene, the light in the man’s eyes shone brightly, becoming even more scorching.

“The Ancient Armor! It is indeed the Ancient Armor!”

He was not angry but happy. He continued to walk forward, preparing to give Lu Yao another punch. He could see that although the Ancient Armor had withstood his previous attack, Lu Yao herself did not seem to have the ability to withstand and control the mecha.

After this attack, that layer of battle armor automatically disappeared. Another punch and she would die without a doubt. And as long as she died, this mecha would naturally belong to him.

He got excited and took a step forward. But in the next moment, his footsteps paused, and he suddenly felt something.

Danger! His pupils constricted, and in the next moment, he flew out directly. In this instant, he subconsciously wanted to dodge and leave this place, but it was as if he had been affected by some power, and his body was warped, and it was impossible to dodge.

With a light bang, the expression on his face froze. Countless cracks appeared. His body exploded, turning into countless pieces of flesh that scattered on the ground, bringing with it a strong smell of blood.

A General Level had died in just an instant, leaving nothing behind. He died extremely easily, just like a bug. Looking at this scene, Lu Yao and Lu Yao were stunned. The sound of footsteps could be heard from not far away. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked in that direction.

There, a figure stood there. It was a tall figure, looking very tall just from his figure. And on his body, there was a layer of light golden armor covering it. The armor was gorgeous, and there were layers of fine lines on it. At first glance, it looked like a king who ruled the world, and it had an unrivaled majesty.

At the moment of staring, a terrifying pressure came, bringing with it a suffocating and terrifying aura.

Ancient Armor! This was also an Ancient Armor! And it was in its complete form. It was not like Lu Yao, who only obtained the battle armor but was not acknowledged by the mecha, so she could not use it. Instead, the mecha wielder had completely mastered it and used it freely.

After realizing this, Lu Yao and Ye Zi breathed in heavily. At this moment, their emotions were a little complicated as they recalled something. It was the previous trials.

Before this, they had also experienced those trials. Lu Yao herself had not passed them. She had completely relied on the Ye Zi and the Golden Mark in her body to cheat her way through.

However, it was very clear that the possibility of the same thing happening to the person in front of them was not very high. The person in front of them had most likely relied on himself to pass that trial. He had even relied on his conviction to obtain the recognition of the battle armor, which was why he could use the mecha to this extent.

A powerful figure, without a doubt. Lying on the ground, after realizing all this, Lu Yao’s feelings were inexplicably complicated.

In these complicated feelings, there was an inexplicable feeling of someone who was more outstanding than her, and there was also worry about her future situation.

The person just now had already died. But an even more powerful person had come. Although the other party had already obtained an Ancient Armor, it did not mean that she would be spared. Even for the owner of the Ancient Armor, the Ancient Armor itself was precious. The other party probably would not let her off either..
