The moment Otter Cosmos Venerable saw the wormhole, he felt a flicker of delight in his heart.
After all, one of his primary objectives this time was the Sky Whale King.
According to intelligence, the Sky Whale King possessed a spatial worm avatar.
Because of this, he was able to use wormhole secret arts.
It was also because the Sky Whale King had avatars.
At the very least, he possessed a spatial worm incarnation.
As long as even one spatial worm incarnation still existed,
even if the main body died, the incarnation could continuously absorb energy and eventually become the main body again.
And Otter Cosmos Venerable was particularly skilled in soul attacks.
That was why he had been sent here.
Otherwise, at most, they would only be able to seize the Sky Whale King's domain-type treasure.
Looking at the wormhole before him, Otter Cosmos Venerable felt a surge of joy.
He had not expected that this time, the prey would actually deliver itself to his doorstep.
However, at that very moment, he suddenly sensed an intense energy fluctuation.
Although the quality of this energy fluctuation was not particularly high,
he could clearly feel that it contained an enormous amount of energy.
At the same time, a beam of light shot straight toward him.
He hurriedly took out his heavy treasure weapon and unleashed his strongest secret art to block it.
Otter Cosmos Venerable thrust his spear with full force, causing the surrounding flow of time to freeze.
A gigantic monstrous beast appeared in the void.
Its tail, longer than its body, lashed out toward the incoming energy beam.
However, Otter Cosmos Venerable's material attacks were still far inferior to his soul attacks.
Boom!
With just a single clash, the terrifying beast he had manifested was annihilated by the energy beam with overwhelming force.
His expression instantly changed.
He knew that this energy beam was not simple,
but he had not expected its power to be so terrifying.
His full-force spear strike had been erased outright.
Wherever the energy beam passed, space collapsed instantly.
At this moment, the beam had barely been weakened by his attack and continued shooting straight toward him.
Every hair on Otter Cosmos Venerable's body stood on end.
At this instant, he felt the threat of death.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly burned divine power.
In the next moment, before the energy beam could reach him, he executed a teleport.
Otter Cosmos Venerable vanished from his original location.
One light-year away, Otter Cosmos Venerable was filled with lingering fear.
He had almost died just now.
In reality, part of the energy beam had already struck him.
However, because he had teleported a full light-year away,
he had managed to survive.
That energy beam was extremely concentrated.
But because it was a combined attack, the force was somewhat dispersed.
He estimated that he had only endured about one-tenth of the total power.
Even so, he had lost more than fifty percent of his divine power.
One had to know that he was wearing a heavy treasure armor.
Moreover, it was a top-tier heavy treasure armor.
Even then, he still lost over half of his divine power.
The armor itself was even slightly damaged.
What an utterly terrifying attack.
At this moment, Otter Cosmos Venerable no longer cared about the orders or about Time Nightmare King and the others.
He immediately began teleporting rapidly, fleeing this place at full speed.
He felt that the horrifying attack just now might have been a joint strike by countless titled Immortals.
Or perhaps it was a combined attack launched by several Venerables.
Because the energy levels involved earlier were still somewhat low.
Even so, the power of that attack was unbelievably terrifying.
As he fled, he split off a strand of consciousness to contact Time Nightmare King and the others.
However, he discovered that his messages vanished like stones sinking into the sea, receiving no response at all.
A sense of unease immediately rose in his heart.
Recalling the terrifying attack earlier,
he knew that Time Nightmare King and the others were likely doomed.
He then sent messages to several titled Immortals who had been besieging the Tideblade King together.
The result was the same. No replies at all.
He even used the temporary virtual world constructed by the Mechanical Race to inquire about the titled Immortal experts from the other two races who had participated in the encirclement.
Yet it was still the same.
At this point, he understood that his guess was likely the truth.
All the titled Immortal experts who had taken part in the encirclement had died.
That terrifying attack just now was very likely a joint strike similar to those executed by mechanical puppets or Insect Race warriors.
However, logically speaking, with the Mechanical Race and the Insect Race currently acting as allies of the Demon Race,
even if there were still some under-the-table conflicts between them,
it would be impossible for them to dispatch such powerful forces to attack him.
Without any hesitation, he immediately reported this matter.
At the same time, he made sure to sell his misery a little.
After all, his losses this time were truly enormous.
…
After Luo Fan left with the Tideblade King and Grandor, he once again used the wormhole secret art thousands of times, directly arriving millions of light-years away.
After reaching this location, he stopped using the wormhole secret art.
Taking out a spaceship, he brought the Tideblade King and Grandor inside.
At this moment, the Tideblade King could no longer suppress his curiosity and directly asked,
"Disciple, are you the Sky Whale King who's been making such a stir recently?"
Hearing this, Luo Fan did not try to hide it.
After all, this was his teacher, someone he trusted.
The Tideblade King and Grandor would not leak this kind of information either.
Even if it were leaked, it would only cause some trouble at most.
He nodded and admitted it directly.
"Yes."
"Teacher, you also know that alien races have been trying to assassinate me recently."
"So Teacher Ice Peak Lord arranged a false identity for me."
"After that, I used this identity and, by sheer luck, earned the title of Sky Whale King."
The Tideblade King's face was still filled with shock.
Although he and Grandor had been staying in the chaotic flow region,
even so, stationed at the Eleventh Battlefield, news about the Sky Whale King had still reached his ears.
After all, any titled Invincible expert, as long as they had sufficient battle achievements, would become famous across the universe.
In truth, the number of titled Invincible experts was not much greater than the number of Venerables.
Therefore, it was only natural that the Tideblade King and Grandor had heard of the Sky Whale King.
At the time, the two of them had been wondering which Human Race expert this Sky Whale King was.
They had discussed it for a long time but never figured it out.
They had never imagined that this newly risen titled Invincible expert was actually their own disciple.
Back then, they had even been envious of the Sky Whale King for obtaining a domain-type treasure.
But after learning that the Sky Whale King was Luo Fan, both the Tideblade King and Grandor instead felt happy for him.
"I never thought you would reach this level so quickly,"
Grando said with a sigh from the side.
He had never expected that he had originally just wanted to take in an alchemist disciple.
Yet although this disciple also possessed terrifying talent in alchemy,
Luo Fan's cultivation talent was even more outrageous.
Grandor still did not know that the World Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion had been provided by Luo Fan.
Otherwise, he would have been even more shocked.
At this moment, the Tideblade King suddenly thought of something and said faintly,
"Wait, then doesn't that mean the two of us are now not even as strong as our own disciple?"
Hearing this, Grandor glanced at the Tideblade King.
"Ahem. I mainly taught Luo Fan knowledge related to alchemy."
"As for cultivation and combat, my path isn't suitable for him."
Hearing this, the Tideblade King looked at Grandor with a gaze full of grievance.
However, very quickly, he wrapped an arm around Luo Fan and said happily,
"Hehe, it's fine. This just proves that I was extremely successful in taking in a disciple."
"My disciple surpassing his master makes me happy beyond measure."
The Tideblade King was not speaking falsely.
After learning that the Sky Whale King was Luo Fan, he truly felt immense pride.
In truth, how could Grandor be any different?
As he spoke, the Tideblade King took out a bottle of wine he had treasured for a long time.
"Come, come. Now that Luo Fan has reached this level of strength, it can be considered graduation."
"Let's celebrate!"
Looking at the wine the Tideblade King took out, Grandor also showed a hint of longing.
"I didn't expect you to actually take out this bottle."
The wine the Tideblade King produced was called Traces of Time.
It was purchased from the Drunken God Hall.
Although it only cost tens of millions of Hunyuan Units per bottle in Hongmeng City,
in reality, a single bottle was worth as much as one billion Hunyuan Units.
This wine was brewed by a Time Venerable.
It contained traces of the Time Origin Law.
After drinking it, one could step into the threshold of the Time Origin Law.
With sufficient talent, one could even comprehend some insights into the Time Origin Law.
Hearing this, Luo Fan smiled and said,
"Teacher, wait a moment."
"I still have a gift to give you this time."
As he spoke, Luo Fan took out two items from his World Ring.
They were the heavy treasure Whale Fin Blade and the heavy treasure Thousand Tendril World.
The Whale Fin Blade was actually quite similar to the Tideblade.
After all, the secret arts Luo Fan had previously created were originally designed for the Tideblade.
Only after refining Whale Fin Slash to the level of a top-tier secret art did he obtain a pseudo-heavy treasure Whale Fin Blade.
After perfecting it to the peak secret art level, he obtained this heavy treasure-grade Whale Fin Blade.
However, because he already possessed the Azure Sky Blade,
this Whale Fin Blade had been left unused in the system space.
The Thousand Tendril World, on the other hand, was a reward he obtained after killing an alien titled Immortal.
It was an ordinary heavy treasure-grade domain-type treasure.
He had not used it much.
This treasure was suited for experts who had grasped the Wood Origin Law and the Space Origin Law.
It was extremely suitable for Grandor.
He had already planned to leave these two heavy treasures to his teachers.
Although the Whale Fin Blade was only an ordinary heavy treasure,
it was a treasure rewarded by the system.
Even among ordinary heavy treasures, it was considered top-tier.
Although its value might be slightly lower than that of the Thousand Tendril World, the difference was not large.
"These… these are heavy treasures!"
The Tideblade King recognized at once that both items were heavy treasures.
After all, he himself possessed a pseudo-heavy treasure.
A pseudo-heavy treasure was essentially a heavy treasure that had failed during refinement.
Therefore, he was very familiar with the aura of heavy treasures.
Because Luo Fan had removed their ownership bindings,
the auras of these two heavy treasures had not automatically restrained themselves.
Grando was also startled and immediately refused,
"Heavy treasures are extremely useful to you as well. You should keep them for yourself."
Hearing this, Luo Fan said directly,
"Teacher, I have better ones."
As he spoke, he took out the Azure Sky Blade and the Space-Time Domain, releasing a trace of their auras.
Even so, the Tideblade King and Grando still wanted to refuse.
Even if Luo Fan had better treasures, these could still be exchanged for a large number of heavy treasure points.
However, after Luo Fan took out two more treasures, the two of them finally agreed.
