Monarch of Heaven's Wrath 178 Leaving the planet.

"General, why did you simply accept all his demands? I know that he is important to our race, but we should still have some room to at least negotiate a little bit, especially thanks to the new Crown Princess. Especially that Interplanar Cruiser, we now only have two left..."

Sun Haixie didn't stop walking to chat with Ren Ooyung, glancing over her shoulder and checking how far away they were from the inn. She quickly pulled back her gaze, moving it onto Ren Ooyung while still continuing to walk.

"You're right, had he been as you described him then we would have some room to negotiate. But he is different from how you described him. I have confidence in my ability to kill even people at the Primordial Immortal realm, but him, I didn't have the slightest confidence in being able to kill him. Instead, the moment we stepped within about two kilometers of that inn, we placed our lives in his hands."

Ren Ooyung was too weak to notice it, but Sun Haixie had just barely been able to detect that sweet and tantalizing scent wafting around the inn, that terrible poison that invaded them before they even arrived at the inn. Ren Ooyung realized that he had underestimated Liang Chen's current strength, but he still wasn't quite agreeing with Sun Haixie's actions.

"But is that really a reason to comply with all his demands? The new Crown Princess is stronger than him, and unlike him, she is loyal to the race and wishes for nothing more than our revival. With her on our side, isn't it best to just leave someone like Scourge King alone? I mean, I get it, it would be for the best if the two of them got several children together, but do you really think he'll agree to that?"

Xiao Ping, the new Crown Princess of the Sebettu, had only arrived in their headquarters about two months ago, arriving there through a rift in time itself. She was the same as Liang Chen, a time-shifted child that had been sent to the future for the sake of the race. From what Ren Ooyung had been told, she had the same third-generation bloodline as Liang Chen, but her cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the Primordial Immortal realm. She also used some very strange laws and was able to use the Dragon Lord's Three Steps, so she possessed combat power far above her realm.

Sun Haixie once again moved her gaze back onto the inn, her pupils quivering slightly. She placed her hand on her neck and gave it a quick wipe, drops of sweat glistening on her palm as she pulled it back, looking at Ren Ooyung with a serious gaze.

"You're right, the Crown Princess is strong. I've had the fortune of both meeting her and observing one of her battles right after she arrived, she truly is dominant and regal. But even when I stood directly in front of her, I did not feel what I felt when I approached the inn where that man was waiting. Fear, true fear, from the very bottom of my being. I felt like a frog gazing at a world-eating dragon, I could barely sit still. You said that this Qian Liao left the city to hunt them down, no? Well, they've returned, but there is no sign of Qian Liao, so take from that what you will. I will tell you this once, the Crown Princess is a great boon to our race, but that man is absolutely necessary to the rise of our race, every last inch of my instincts is telling me this."

One of the 13 generals of the Sebettu race, above countless other people and only below a few tens of others, Sun Haixie had not felt anything like this in years. It had gone beyond a bloodline suppression and become something far more primal, the ancient fear of death embedded in every living being. Ren Ooyung wasn't on the same level as Sun Haixie so he hadn't been able to feel what she felt, but as she was his superior, he could only remain quiet and follow her as they left the city.

Yan Ling curiously looked at the palm-sized boat resting in Liang Chen's palm, with Lan Yun copying her actions the two made for a rather adoring sight. Yan Ling stretched out her arm and gave the boat a few quick pokes, her eyes lighting up slightly as she fondled the three lightly pink sails that it had.

"It's silk! It feels just like silk at least, so soft and smooth! It must be incredibly strong, otherwise, they wouldn't have put it on a ship like this. Think we can use it to make clothing once we're done with the ship? Just imagine how pretty those dresses and robes would be!"

Liang Chen moved his arm so that the ship was no longer within fondling distance for Yan Ling, using his other hand to tap the currently sneaking closer to the ship Yumao on the head to stop him. He then quickly put the ship into his interspatial ring, raising an eyebrow at the now somewhat disappointed Yan Ling.

"We've had it for a total of 15 seconds, haven't even started heading home yet, and you're already planning on how to take it apart? Fine, but only when we find a better one we can use."

Yan Ling gleefully nodded her head upon receiving, her eyes sparkling as she looked Liang Chen up and down, no doubt imagining him wearing the pink robes she was planning to make. The two then looked at each other in silence for a moment, the corners of their lips curling up into wide grins, Yan Ling eventually breaking the silence.

"Let's go! It's time for an adventure on the way home! Dad's not gonna believe all the stories I'm gonna tell him when we get back!"

Yan Ling sprang up from the couch with a joyous bounce, launching Lan Yun a bit into the air in the process. She quickly caught her and spun around once, Lan Yun stretching out her arms and laughing gleefully. Liang Chen also stood up from the couch, Yumao slithering into the shadow cast by Liang Chen's hair, vanishing into his dantian. They had already prepared everything they could, they were completely ready to head out.

Yan Ling spun Lan Yun around a few more times before having her return into her dantian. Liang Chen and Yan Ling left the inn, heading for the exit that was in the opposite direction of the one that Sun Haixie was heading for. They attracted quite a few stares as they made their way through the streets, the people walking there moving around them so that they had plenty of space. They had built up a very bloody reputation in the tower and were known across the entire planet, they were already a symbol of fear to most other people on this planet.

The two quickly left the city without incident, heading for the barren mountain region that was situated to the north of the city. They moved in-between the mountains until they found a small valley obscured by mountains on all sides, the trees growing there strangely bent and gnarly. Liang Chen swiped his interspatial ring and brought out the ship, holding it out in front of them.

"Alright then, let's try this."

He put some Qi into the ship, which rapidly expanded to a size of nearly 50 meters and then started hovering in front of them. The two jumped onto the ship and gave it a quick inspection to know what they had, it had three storage rooms, 25 rooms where people could live, five kitchens, three living rooms where people could gather to spend time, two rooms that seemed to be made for parties or dances, and one room where one could insert Spirit Stones into an array to power the ship.

Liang Chen tested out if the currency that Qian Liao had on him could be used in the array, and while the lower value currency wasn't good enough, those of the middle stages were luckily good enough. The boat-shaped array unleashed a light blue light, which quickly grew to surround the entire ship before vanishing, only the central mast remaining lit up.

But as the blue light vanished, Liang Chen felt a sense of control emerge within him, allowing him to control the ship as he would a part of his body. He sat down at the deck of the ship, at the very front, and had the ship shoot into the sky. The ship accelerated to a speed Liang Chen had never experienced before, almost instantly soaring past the clouds and leaving the planet. Yan Ling stood at the side of the ship, Lan Yun and Yumao already by her side as they looked over the edge of the ship, Yan Ling cursing quietly.

"Fuck me that was fast, barely saw a damn blur as we shot past the clouds. Would be nice to use this normally, but it looks to be a damn energy hog."

Yan Ling turned to look at the central one of the three masts as she spoke. When Liang Chen filled the array with Spirit Stone replacements, the entire mast had been lit up with the blue light, but now about one-fourth of the light had vanished. She continued to look at the mast as the ship headed to the west, countless specks of light visible around them. But the light didn't budge much even after flying for ten minutes so it seemed like the initial take-off took more energy than normal flying did.

Yan Ling looked at the specks of light all around them, they were surrounded on all sides, even above and below, each speck of light a slightly different color. She knew that each speck of light was a different planet, each holding different people, beliefs, organizations, and morals, just thinking about it made it feel like her mind was about to be blown. While she was marveling at the sheer number of lights, the voice of Liang Chen reached her ears.

"We'll visit them someday. And if we can't visit all of them, then we'll just have to visit the most magnificent one, one so great that all others would pale in comparison."

Yan Ling turned her head and saw that Liang Chen was still sitting at the front of the ship, his hands moving slightly as he seemed to be working on something. Yan Ling smiled at his statement, tilting her head slightly as she started to walk over.

"Alright, I'll hold you to those words, I'll drag you to every last planet just to find the most magnificent one if I have to. But what is it that you're working on there?"

Yumao and Lan Yun moved in front of Yan Ling before she could move closer to Liang Chen and see what he was working on, allowing Yan Ling to guess that he had already enlisted a few helpers in whatever scheme he was working on. Liang Chen didn't stop moving his hands, letting out a light chuckle as he guessed that Yan Ling might be pouting slightly at this moment.

"Don't worry about it, I'll show it to you once we get back to the sect and meet up with your father and brother again, so just be a bit patient until then."

Yan Ling clicked her tongue and picked up Lan Yun, stretching out her other arm so that Yumao could slither up it and curl up on top of her head. She returned to the side of the ship to gaze at the distant planets around them, shooting a few sharp words at Liang Chen.

"Alright, but if it doesn't blow me off my feet, you best be ready for me to take a few bites out of you."

Liang Chen chuckled but didn't give a response, swiping his interspatial ring and taking out another small chunk of what seemed to be silver ore. He held the ore in his palm and used lightning to melt it, gathering the purest parts of the molten metal and forming a small orb with it. He then quickly shaped the orb into a ring while it was hot and use some wind to cool it down so that it would retain its shape.

Once the shape of the ring was complete, he used a bit of wind to keep the ring hovering in front of him, placing it between his palms. He then channeled his energy into his palms, creating six streams of energy that were unleashed from his palms and gathered on the ring, the six streams of energy slowly becoming so dense that they formed perfectly shaped crystals that embedded themselves in the ring.

The six streams each corresponded to one of his laws and all six had different colors. His lightning one was golden, his poison one was white, his time one was gray, his wind one was cyan, his rot one was purple, and his death one was black. He could have changed the colors of his lightning and poison ones, but he felt that golden and white would look best.

The ship quickly made its way westward, heading towards Blossoming Ocean planet, from which they could take an interstellar array to get closer to their own home planet. And as the ship was moving, Liang Chen continued on the ring he would give to Yan Ling once they met up with her father and he had gotten his permission.
