In the sky of Rock Island, seven figures appeared. It was the group of Here Crow Knight and Bark Mirror Emperor.

"The desolate Rock Island," said Here Crow Knight. "It perfectly matches the description in our information."

The seven great beings looked around sharply. They had remained cautious since stepping into Nine Remoteness Space.

"It's safe on Rock Island, but there are no valuables," Bark Mirror Emperor said. He had been born with an unusually squeaky voice. "Besides, it's a small island, and it will be dangerous if we step off it." He glanced the other great beings and added, "I was ready to take my chances in Nine Remoteness Ocean and look for the valuables in that ocean. It is the most dangerous place in all of Nine Remoteness Space. You can choose whether to come with me or not."

The other five undying fighters were shocked.

"Nine Remoteness Ocean?"

"Bark Mirror Emperor, are you really going to Nine Remoteness Ocean?"

Bark Mirror Emperor smirked. The other five were all from the Northern Territory Alliance like he was, which was why he had brought them here. However, it would be ridiculous for him to help the other five to search for valuables. He didn't have enough time.

"How about going to other islands first?" one of them asked.

Bark Mirror Emperor snorted, then looked at Here Crow Knight and asked, "What about you, Here Crow Knight?"

Although all of these great beings were his companions, Here Crow Knight was the only one he valued. After all, he was a universe knight as well as his rival. Nine Remoteness Ocean was a place filled with real danger, and it would be much safer for him to go with someone else.

The five undying heirs couldn't be blamed for not daring to go. Nine Remoteness Ocean was an endless ocean containing thousands of islands. Most of the heirs went there for valuables, whereas only a few of them had the guts to go to Nine Remoteness Ocean. Although the ocean was boundless—and there might be more valuables hidden there than on all the other islands combined—it was also more hazardous than all the other islands combined.

The most dangerous thing in the Nine Remoteness Ocean was the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool in the core of the ocean. Once someone was trapped in it, it would be almost impossible to survive even for a universe knight.

Here Crow Knight was worried. "If you want to go to Nine Remoteness Ocean, I'll come with you. But I need to make sure of one thing. You're not going to the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool, are you?"

Bark Mirror Emperor shook his head. "Of course not. I'm confident, not reckless. There is danger everywhere in Nine Remoteness Ocean. I might dare to venture into other places, but I'll avoid the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool at all costs."

Here Crow Knight was relieved. "Fine," he said. "I'll come with you and explore Nine Remoteness Ocean."

"Haha!" Bark Mirror Emperor's squeaky voice gave him a shrill laugh.

Here Crow Knight laughed along with him.

The other five great beings looked at each other and consulted with one another telepathically.

What're we supposed to do? Here Crow Knight and Bark Mirror Emperor are both going to the Nine Remoteness Ocean. What should we do?

Without them, our chance of surviving on the other islands is small. But if we follow them, we might be able to arrive at some magical places and get some treasures by luck. We're their teammates. They won't attack us.

We've been trapped at this stage for an eternity. I'll take my chances. Let's go.

I'll follow.

Nine Remoteness Ocean is arguably the most dangerous place here. It'll be worth it even if we die there.

The five undying heirs had made their decisions.

"Here Crow Knight, Bark Mirror Emperor, we'll follow you."

"Yeah. Any island in Nine Remoteness Space is dangerous. We'd rather go with you guys."

"We'll all come with you."

Bark Mirror Emperor and Here Crow Knight were glad to bring them along.

"Let me search for any danger within the one billion square miles around us first," Bark Mirror Emperor said.

"Please do, Bark Mirror Emperor."

The other six, including Here Crow Knight, all stepped back. Bark Mirror Emperor had the best probing skills in the universe. He stepped forward and concentrated. The intricate engravings on his scales started to glow, and his golden eyes emanated an illusion that seemed to be a reflection of the surrounding space.

"Ahead of us…" said Bark Mirror Emperor, looking ahead. He said calmly and confidently, "There's no danger on the island. When we cross the island, we'll arrive at Nine Remoteness Ocean. The danger within 20 million miles of Rock Island can be ignored. The deeper into the ocean, the more dangerous it is. I've already discovered a universe-knight-level creature."

Bark Mirror Emperor looked in another direction.

He claimed to be looking. Actually, it was his talent technique known as "Universe Mirror," which could inspect everything within one billion square miles by reflecting it in the mirror. All the danger was visible on the mirror, unless it was a universe master who could completely manipulate the time and space of an area. Otherwise, nothing could evade the Universe Mirror. Other great beings wouldn't even realize that they were being probed.

"I've found an undying-level special organism," he said. He looked to his left and was momentarily dazed. "Huh?" Then he gave a weird smile.

"Bark Mirror Emperor, what did you find?" Here Crow Knight couldn't help asking after seeing him smile like that.

"Haha… Take a guess!" Bark Mirror Emperor's look was perplexing, which confused Here Crow Knight and the other five undying heirs. "It's the famous Blade River Emperor."

Here Crow Knight and the five undying heirs were all stunned.

"Blade River Emperor?"

"Interesting that Blade River Emperor has the guts to come to Nine Remoteness Space," said Bark Mirror Knight. "I've heard that he has a set of wings that help him fly away. It's a true treasure. I didn't have the chance to kill him on Bauhinia Island, but now is a great opportunity." He stuck out his thick, red tongue and licked his fangs.

"Bark Mirror Emperor, are you serious?" Here Crow Knight was shocked.

"Humph!" said Black Mirror Emperor. "You might not dare to act, but I'm from the Northern Territory Alliance, and we're not afraid of that human alliance. You don't need to be a part of it if you don't want to, Here Crow Knight. Just behave yourself and don't reveal my intentions to Blade River Emperor. Otherwise, you'll make yourself my enemy."

"Rest assured, I won't meddle," Here Crow Knight said, nodding.

Northern Territory Alliance was the alliance with the most members, and it was also one of the superpowers of the universe. It could rival the alliances of the peak races like the human race, the demon race, and the bug race.

"Let's go."

Bark Mirror Emperor smirked and flew away slowly. He didn't dare to go too fast, as he didn't want Luo Feng to notice him.

Greed filled Bark Mirror Emperor's golden eyes. "It'll be worth it for me to come to Nine Remoteness Space if I can get those wings. I won't even need to risk going to Nine Remoteness Ocean after I succeed." He was a special organism and was naturally greedy and ruthless. However, instead of being ashamed of how he was, he chose to be proud of it.

In the cave of the mountain.

Luo Feng used the micro-detector to conceal himself as he sat with his legs crossed. He had no idea that Bark Mirror Emperor had used Universe Mirror to detect him. Obviously, Bark Mirror Emperor was skilled enough not to be found by the micro-detector.

"One month left," said Luo Feng. "After a month, I can get the World Tree's twigs and leaves and breed my third body. After which, I can be an undying fighter."

Luo Feng was looking forward to what was going to happen without realizing that seven great beings had already arrived at the mountain.

******

"Stop," Bark Mirror Emperor said.

Here Crow Knight and the other five followed.

"That human has a micro-detector." Bark Mirror Emperor sniggered. "Unfortunately, those detectors are useless. Even the top-tier detectors from the automaton race can't compare with my techniques."

"Seal!"

Bark Mirror Emperor looked at the mountain in front of him and used Space Seal. Suddenly, the space ripple in almost half the Rock Island stopped.

"Go in," he said.

Sou!

Bark Mirror Emperor rushed into the mountain.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

The other six followed him.

******

"Something's wrong," Luo Feng said, glancing at some of the gravel in the cave as he sensed Space Seal. One of the gravels was a keepsake, and there was a second one hidden in another cave. They were used by his servants to position God Country Transportation.

"Even if I leave temporarily, I can still transport myself here directly."

Sou!

Luo Feng opened his wings and flew out of the cave instantly. He felt a remarkable source of strength storming toward him the moment he rushed out of the cave a saw a great being that looked like a werewolf flying toward him. He had golden hair and golden eyes and was covered in scales, which were filled with engravings.

"Bark Mirror Emperor!" Luo Feng said.

He was startled. Dealing with one of the most famous special organisms on Bauhinia Island would be a handful. Bark Mirror Emperor was proficient in tracking and hunting, and he was greedy and merciless. Luo Feng shook his wings and sped up.

Sou!

"Haha, Blade River Emperor, are you really trying to flee from me?" laughed Bark Mirror Emperor. "I'm known for my tracking skills, and I aced space law. Besides, I'm innately fast and have a godly body much better than yours. So, let's see who's faster, you or me!"

Bark Mirror Emperor sped up, chasing after Luo Feng.

Bark Mirror Emperor had a mighty godly body, and his constitution was 2,000 times better than that of normal great beings. Human emperor limits were 100,000 times stronger than sector lords, whereas Bark Mirror Emperor was 200,000 times stronger, which made him equal to a universe knight—a powerful godly body with a natural gift for speed.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Bark Mirror Emperor was speeding up. Luo Feng sped up too but was astonished to see that Bark Mirror Emperor was gaining on him.

"What?" he said. "Second form!"

Luo Feng had to admit that he had underestimated Bark Mirror Emperor. He didn't have time to think of anything else. Instead, he initiated the second form, and the plumes on that wings became sharp like sabers.

Hua, hua!

The wings tore the surrounding space apart, resulting in significant space turbulence. His body appeared blurry within the turbulence.
