A furious voice echoed from the sky, and then a silver-furred monkey emerged from the void. It was Yuan Fei, who had previously crossed paths with Wang Luo.
He had meticulously planned his move: using his spatial abilities to appear suddenly, snatch the item, and flee. He didn't believe any of the alien beasts could catch him!
But then... just as he was about to succeed, his attempt was thwarted by another possessor of spatial abilities. How could he not be enraged?
"Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll absolutely kill you!"
Yuan Fei swore in his heart, his grip tightening on the iron rod in his hand!
The World Mark had been teleported into Yuan Ye's hand by his "Void Teleportation" technique, but he wasn't happy. Instead, every hair on his body stood on end, as thousands upon thousands of eyes on the battlefield were now fixed upon him.
Yuan Ye desperately wanted to cast this hot potato away,
but it felt too much like a waste to simply abandon the World Mark now that it was in his grasp. With a hardened resolve, he directly entered the void, taking the World Mark with him.
"I've found you, you scoundrel!"
Yuan Fei roared, charging forward with his iron rod.
The surrounding zombies also mobilized. The giant axes in the hands of countless Hunters cleaved into the void.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of alien beasts and half-beasts were also on the move, as the heavenly phenomenon emanating from the World Mark had managed to penetrate the void.
This meant that Yuan Ye was currently like a brightly lit bulb on the move. Although most of the zombies and alien beasts outside couldn't attack him, his trajectory was visible to everyone.
"Holy crap, there's even this kind of move?"
Within the void,
Wang Luo was completely dumbfounded!
How could the phenomenon transmit through the void?
The reason he hadn't acted earlier was twofold: firstly, his powerful spiritual sense had detected the presence of other spatial alien beasts hidden in the vicinity of the void, so he intended to act as a hunter lying in wait.
Secondly, he wanted to see if other spatial alien beasts would make the first move, to observe if any unexpected changes would occur. After all, he had never seen a World Mark before and had no idea what unpredictable situations might arise.
But he never expected Yuan Ye to get it!
And even less did he expect this to happen!
"Good heavens, does he even realize that the phenomenon of the World Mark is already transmitting to the outside world?"
Wang Luo was perplexed. "And if the phenomenon doesn't dissipate, doesn't that mean it's a hot potato for whoever obtains it?"
Yuan Ye had once told him that
if one obtained the World Mark, it needed to be refined. The method of refinement was to directly swallow it into the body, similar to absorbing the energy core of a zombie, but the process was far more arduous and slow!
However, if the heavenly phenomenon it carried could transmit through the void, it could certainly transmit through one's stomach. How could one dare to swallow it then?
If one were to swallow it and then be captured, it would truly mean being disemboweled!
"This will be very troublesome!"
Wang Luo stroked his chin.
Even if he managed to obtain the World Mark, the zombies and alien beasts would likely not give him the chance to refine it!
If only he could enter a space isolated from the outside world!
"What a shame. I still can't use the Eternal Space yet, otherwise, it would be the perfect choice!"
The Eternal Space was still in a state of temporal stasis. Although he possessed time and space abilities, his level had not yet reached the divine grade, preventing the temporal and spatial flow within from changing.
"Wait, I can first place the World Mark into the Eternal Space, and then enter it to refine it once I reach the divine grade later!"
"That's the plan!"
"But when I get back this time, I must learn the 'Void Teleportation' technique. It was incredibly useful when snatching the World Mark!"
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Yuan Ye's body dodged the giant axes of numerous Hunters, his speed gradually slowing. He instantly sensed a spatial ability awakened user with killing intent rapidly approaching from behind. Without a doubt, it had to be that spatial alien beast.
And outside, countless zombies and alien beasts were continuously moving towards him.
"What's going on? Why do they all seem to be staring at me?"
Yuan Ye found it very strange.
The more he looked, the more it seemed they were truly staring at him!
But he was a spatial awaken-er, so how could they see him?
Although he hailed from the underground world,
he wasn't privy to everything. Especially since the World Mark of the underground world appeared in very ancient times, and some ancient texts were unclear about it. Thus, he had no idea about such a matter!
However, after a moment,
Yuan Ye finally realized it himself and cursed, "Holy crap, this is such a rip-off! They're not playing fair with me!"
Had all his running been in vain?
He had become a moving light source.
"Since you all like it so much, then have it!"
He directly threw the World Mark he held, flinging it into the midst of the alien beasts.
Yuan Ye finally understood.
No matter how far he ran, he would still be pursued like this. So, he decisively discarded this hot potato!
He would simply find an opportunity to benefit from the ensuing chaos.
Most importantly,
all the half-beasts had gathered around, and a terrifying divine might pressed down through the void, making it increasingly difficult for him to endure!
"Damn you, get lost! If you don't want it, give it to me!"
Yuan Fei roared in anger.
You snatched it from me, and then you threw it to someone else? Is that polite?
"Damn it, I'll remember you! Don't let me meet you again, or I'll definitely kill you!"
Yuan Fei cursed and once again chased after the World Mark.
In the void,
Wang Luo stroked his chin and chuckled. He picked up a piece of an alien beast's claw from the ground and then officially joined the争夺 (zhēngduó - competition/struggle).
"I, this divine child, will have the World Mark. Who dares to try and snatch it?"
Yuan Fei roared,
his extraordinary weapon carrying an irresistible, immense power. He swung it fiercely, smashing towards several alien beasts reaching for the World Mark.
"Who do you think you are, yelling around here?"
A half-beast below shouted disdainfully.
We are all divine children, why are you so arrogant?
The spectral image of a god behind him was majestic and tall, its vast divine might surging and clashing in the air!
"Because this divine child is an SSS-class spatial ability user!"
Yuan Fei wielded his iron rod, his figure suddenly vanishing. The next instant, he appeared next to the World Mark, his iron rod descending.
But at this moment,
a cold snort sounded, "Are spatial abilities that impressive?"
It was a bird-headed human, flapping its wings and diving down. Its massive, steel-like claws fiercely gripped Yuan Fei's shoulders.
"Now, let's see how you run?"
The bird-headed human laughed heartily. As long as it could grapple him closely, even if he concealed himself in the void, he could only take it along into the void. This was one of the few effective methods against spatial ability users!
At the same time,
the bird-headed human's wings swept directly towards the World Mark.
