Chapter 735 - 395: A Flying Start

The last one remaining, the Ape Race Moon God, said in a deep voice, "We have greatly offended you today. I am willing to offer compensation. Please, spare my life."

With that, he took off the Storage Ring on his hand and threw it over.

But Su Ze paid him no mind. He casually collected the Storage Ring, raised his blade, and charged.

Su Ze didn’t know if the offer was genuine or a ruse, but he didn’t care. He’d kill him first and figure it out later.

This was their home turf, after all. To own a shop on a bustling Public Planet like Mengxing, this group had to have some powerful backing. Besides, the Beast Race was a first-rate race.

Su Ze suspected they had accomplices nearby. If he dragged this out, they would likely call for reinforcements.

The Ape Race Moon God exchanged a few blows with Su Ze but was completely suppressed, finding himself in constant peril.

Every clash with Su Ze was agonizing for him, because after Su Ze’s "Self-Control" skill merged with "Needle Strike," each of his attacks carried a simultaneous Soul Attack.

Furthermore, the "Disintegrate" and "Amnesia" effects activated simultaneously. "Disintegrate" continuously broke down his defenses, while "Amnesia" threw him into a state of momentary confusion with every exchange.

’What’s my next move? Should I attack or defend?’ He kept forgetting his original combat strategy.

All he could do was react instinctively from moment to moment.

He instantly lost all will to fight. With a flicker, he teleported away, flying rapidly toward the nearby planet of Mengxing.

"Die!"

Su Ze immediately used his "Strongest Strike" skill. This was the first time he had used the eighth-rank "Strongest Strike" since it was upgraded.

After merging with "Weakness Strike," "Strongest Strike" also gained a target-locking effect. It locked onto the Ape Race Moon God, shot out, bypassed all defenses, and struck him as he fled.

With a loud BOOM, the Ape Race Moon God’s body exploded.

’A first-rate race is nothing special after all.’

Su Ze performed a Space Jump, appearing beside the Ape Race Moon God’s mangled corpse to plunder it.

Just then, a warning flared in his mind. His Perception Tentacles detected a faster-than-light energy attack hurtling toward him from the direction of Mengxing!

A Sun God-level attack!

A Fox Race Sun God was soaring up from Mengxing, rapidly closing in on Su Ze.

Su Ze wasn’t surprised that these members of the Beast Race were backed by a Sun God expert.

Fortunately, they had underestimated him at first and hadn’t sent a Sun God. Otherwise, he never would have had the chance to kill those four Dou Race Moon Gods.

Of course, he had no intention of tangling with this Beast Race Sun God now. With a mere thought, he switched places with Dou Yi, who was on the ship.

In the next instant, Dou Yi appeared in Su Ze’s place and was instantly vaporized by the Sun God’s attack, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

Meanwhile, Su Ze materialized inside the Magic Cube.

"Boss!"

"Star Lord!"

Seeing Su Ze appear, Mr. Ya and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ze immediately ordered, "Go! Get the ship out of here at maximum speed!"

The Magic Cube accelerated instantly, entering a state of faster-than-light Space Jump.

Only then did Su Ze relax, no longer worried about the Beast Race Sun God giving chase.

He gathered with Mr. Ya and the others, and they recounted their recent experiences. It had been a close call, but they had made it through.

Although they had taken some risks, the rewards were quite substantial!

The group took stock of their gains. The main haul this time consisted of the goods Mr. Ya had looted from the shop, as well as the treasures from the four people Su Ze had killed.

The money and resources Su Ze had spent to purchase the Giant Beast’s Claw were all recovered after he killed Mr. Fox, which meant he’d essentially gotten it for free.

The other four Beast Race Moon Gods also had a considerable amount of treasure on them, especially the Space Display Cabinet that Mr. Fox had used to store the Giant Beast’s Claw. This item had no other miraculous properties—it was just huge inside!

The space within was large enough to hold an entire planet!

This even gave Su Ze the idea of packing up Zexing or Blue Star and carrying them with him.

But it was just a fleeting thought. If a planet were placed inside this isolated space, it would be cut off from the universe, losing all sources of external energy.

There would be no sunlight from a star, no daytime, no light, and no heat.

In any case, the Space Display Cabinet was incredibly valuable, worth almost as much as a ninth-rank Divine Artifact.

The storage items of the others also contained many treasures, including various materials and medicines, and even a few eighth-rank Divine Artifacts.

However, this paled in comparison to what Mr. Ya had acquired.

Mr. Ya had ransacked the entire shop. Inside, there were two spatial items alone that could hold a planet!

Beyond that, there were nearly a hundred types of eighth-rank materials and over ten types of ninth-rank materials!

There were over a dozen eighth-rank Divine Artifacts and two ninth-rank Divine Artifacts!

There were also countless other miscellaneous treasures.

They had reaped such a bountiful harvest at the very first stop of their long journey. It was a truly auspicious start.

’This shop definitely had powerful backers, and not just minor ones.’

A few Moon Gods certainly wouldn’t have the power to open a shop on Mengxing, much less have so many precious goods for sale. Even an ordinary Sun God couldn’t produce so many treasures.

But whatever backing they had, it didn’t matter to Su Ze and his crew anymore.

Those guys were all killed by the "Bag Race." On what grounds could the investigation possibly lead back to them?

"Everyone pick an eighth-rank Divine Artifact." Su Ze began distributing the spoils on the spot, allocating one eighth-rank Divine Artifact to each person.

Aside from himself, everyone else on the ship was a Star God, so they could just barely wield eighth-rank Divine Artifacts. There was no point in hoarding these items; it was better to use them to boost the group’s overall combat strength.

Everyone’s faces lit up with excitement as they began to choose their preferred eighth-rank Divine Artifacts.

Unfortunately, none of the spoils contained the resources Su Ze urgently needed. In the end, he only took one item: a ninth-rank Divine Artifact called the "Cursed Crescent."

This Divine Artifact could emit a Curse Light. Anyone struck by this light would suffer a bizarre curse.

"Light" is a form of energy, and the Curse Light was no exception. The reason Su Ze chose this ninth-rank Divine Artifact was because this light energy could be integrated into his "Strongest Strike."
