【Among the city’s ruins, the surviving citizens and the retreating United States troops watched as you stood atop the endlessly extending giant bridge and led Formless into space. A thunderous cheer erupted.】
【“Oh my God! I swear, this is the kind of superhero we need! A real hero!”】
【“So cool! I’m going to marry him!”】
【“But my friend, I have to say, even though he has a Huaxian face, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s Huaxian. Maybe his father’s a Black man, just like me.”】
【Before long, a large crowd of curious Americans had gathered at the end of the Immortal-Crossing Bridge still on the ground.】
【They acted as if they had no idea that a ridiculously powerful monster had just been here.】
【It looked like they were about to throw a party on the bridge any minute now.】
【Meanwhile, you were in space, leading Formless on a merry chase while protected by a True Fire shield.】
【Once you entered the vacuum of space, you could still fly using Divine Arts. Formless couldn’t.】
【Its body was made almost entirely of technology, and since no space weapons had attacked it, it had naturally never learned spacefaring technology.】
【Fortunately, the Immortal-Crossing Bridge had laid a path ahead. Formless pursued you along the bridge spanning the distance between Earth and the Moon.】
【Seeing Formless draw closer and closer, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner shouted anxiously.】
【“Buddy! It’s about to catch you! Can you handle this or not?”】
【“I’m already going at full speed!”】
【“It looks like it’s learning your movement technique and Divine Arts!”】
【“What the hell! No way! I haven’t even touched it. It can’t just learn from watching someone, can it? How is this thing even fair?!”】
【After observing it for a while, you realized Formless hadn’t learned the Divine Art you were using, Ten Thousand Mile Wind Travel.】
【But its speed really was increasing the whole time, possibly because there was no resistance in the vacuum of space.】
【This thing didn’t know how to get tired, and there was no risk of overexertion wearing down its body or structure. It just kept swinging those things it had for legs as hard as it could. You weren’t even sure they could be called “legs.”】
【Fortunately, you had mastered a whole host of Divine Abilities and Divine Arts.】
【If Ten Thousand Mile Wind Travel wasn’t enough, you could stack more speed-boosting Divine Arts on top of it.】
【After repeatedly pulling away from and drawing near Formless, you finally led it all the way to the Moon.】
【As soon as Formless entered the Moon’s gravitational field, you withdrew the Immortal-Crossing Bridge.】
【Formless could only fall freely from space, crashing onto the lunar surface with a roar and leaving another massive crater on the already crater-pocked Moon.】
【Only after reaching the Moon did you realize it wasn’t a good place to contain Formless.】
【That was because many countries had lunar bases here.】
【Fortunately, you had chosen an area of the Moon that hadn’t been developed for space exploration.】
【For now, Formless couldn’t reach any of the countries’ bases.】
【You had to notify the countries and get them to cooperate with your plan before Formless wandered over to their lunar bases. They needed to evacuate the bases temporarily and shut down all the facilities to avoid provoking Formless.】
【Just as you were about to set off, you suddenly heard a “voice.” More precisely, it was a telepathic message. The other party was communicating with you through spells.】
【“I didn’t expect there to be a Transcendent Realm cultivator on that blue planet. You’re not a native of that planet, are you?”】
【Your surroundings began to turn red.】
【You looked toward the source of the danger.】
【In the distance, two tall figures stood in the air.】
【Taking a closer look, you saw that they were both from an alien race.】
【You didn’t often encounter this race, but you had spent hundreds of years in the Real Realm across your two simulations, so you recognized them.】
【The Birdmen.】
【The name sounded pretty insulting, but that really was what they were called.】
【The Winged Clan had several extra pairs of white wings on their backs. The Birdmen, by contrast, had no arms. Wings grew where their arms should have been.】
【At the same time, their entire bodies were covered in feathers.】
【The feathers came in different colors for each individual.】
【One of the two Birdmen before you had blue feathers, while the other had green feathers.】
【Your Divine Sense couldn’t determine their cultivation levels.】
【You had to remember, at this moment, you were under the effect of Live Upright and Honorable, while Half-Emperor for a Thousand Ages had raised you to just shy of the peak of the Transcendent Realm.】
【If you still couldn’t see their cultivation levels, that meant they were at least in the Rule Mastery realm, in other words, both were Immortal Lords!】
【Immortal Lords had nine ranks, and the difference in cultivation and combat ability between each rank was enormous. After the fourth or fifth rank, the gap between a single rank could even exceed that between the previous major realms.】
【In your current state, if these two were below the fourth rank and hadn’t cultivated any strange Divine Arts or laws, you could easily crush them.】
【So you were still pretty calm. You tried to get more information out of them, and used spells to communicate in return.】
【“Where did you come from? There aren’t any Channels around here.”】
【“We don’t go where there are Channels. Too many cultivators in those places. They’d interfere with our experiments.”】
【You glanced down at Formless, which was darting around and starting to dig tunnels.】
【“So this Formless is your test subject. You’re the ones who brought it to Earth.”】
【The blue-feathered Birdman glanced at Earth.】
【“Oh, that blue planet is called Earth? By the way, you’re just a member of the Human Race, yet you know about Formless. That’s unusual.”】
【The red-feathered Birdman snorted.】
【“Brother Horton, why waste your breath on this member of the Human Race? He interfered with our experiment. That alone is a capital offense!”】
【“You’re right, Brother Barton. I’ll leave this guy to you. I’ll go collect Formless. The experiment has to continue.”】
【These two Birdmen wanted to take Formless, which you had gone to so much trouble to bring to the Moon, back to Earth and let it keep destroying the planet.】
【How could you possibly allow that?】
【The red Birdman named Barton raised one of his taloned hands, and a Spiritual Treasure shaped like a claw appeared in it.】
【He made a grabbing motion from afar. A massive red claw print appeared in the space between you and him, covering you completely. There was nowhere to dodge.】
【But why would you need to dodge?】
【“Whoosh!”】
【The attack swept past your body. It only blew your clothes around, leaving not a single mark on you.】
【Did he think he could mess with you while Live Upright and Honorable was boosting The Most Severe Father to Non-Humans by 200%? Ever heard of damage reduction?】
【Did he think he could mess with you while Wolverine was boosted by 200%? So what if you got hurt? You’d heal in an instant!】
【The moment you took that attack, you immediately judged his approximate cultivation level. He was definitely below the fourth rank of Immortal Lord.】
【In other words, he was within your killing range!】
【You tilted your head and flat-out refused to eat beef.】
【Barton didn’t think you had endured his attack because you were strong. His first assumption was that you were wearing some kind of treasure.】
【But how could an Immortal Lord who had mastered the power of laws be stopped by a few Spiritual Treasures?】
【“Hmph! As you wish! Skyhawk: Warhawk!”】
