Chapter 388 Uninvited Guests, the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court Reconnaissance Team
Twelve days passed.
That morning, Lu Sheng was doing one-arm push-ups with Dao Yi on the training field.
Dao Yi was being crushed by the gravity of the rules of the Spirit Saint Realm, howling and his arms were shaking like a leaf.
"Ninety-seven...ninety-eight...My lord...I really can't go on..."
"You have to hold on, even if it's tough! We're still two short!"
"Ninety-nine...one hundred!"
Dao Yi lay sprawled on the ground, like a lump of mud.
Just then, Lu Sheng's communicator vibrated.
Luo Tianfei's voice came through, unusually tinged with urgency.
"Lu Sheng. The outer space monitoring system has detected a high-speed spacecraft approaching Earth from the outer reaches of the galaxy."
Lu Sheng suddenly stood up straight.
"speed?"
"Extremely fast. Expected to arrive at Earth's outer defense perimeter in six hours."
"quantity?"
"Only one has been detected so far. It is not large in size, but its energy signal is extremely strong. Preliminary assessment indicates it is a stealth reconnaissance ship."
How many people are inside?
Luo Tianfei paused for a second.
"Precise detection is impossible. The aircraft's hull has extremely strong shielding, which cannot be penetrated by conventional means. However, based on the fluctuation amplitude of the energy signal, there are at least six to ten beings at the Spirit Source level inside the ship."
Lu Sheng took a deep breath.
coming.
It was faster than he expected.
He glanced at Dao Yi, who was lying on the ground panting.
"Dao Yi, training is suspended. All cultivators above the Spirit Emperor realm must assemble immediately."
Upon hearing Lu Sheng's tone, Dao Yi instantly sprang to his feet, all his fatigue vanishing.
"My lord, what has happened?"
"We have guests coming."
Lu Sheng's tone was calm, but Dao Yi could hear the murderous intent in it.
guest?
In the Lord's mouth, the guest is the prey.
Half an hour later, the command center on Dengxian Island was packed with people.
Fifteen cultivators at the Spirit Emperor Realm, along with Dao Yi, Li Xiaoyao, and Luo Tianfei, were all present.
Lu Sheng sat in the main seat, with a holographic projection in front of him displaying the trajectory of the approaching aircraft.
"The situation is simple," Lu Sheng said. "The reconnaissance team from the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court is flying towards Earth. They are expected to arrive in six hours."
The command center fell silent instantly.
The fifteen Spirit Emperor Realm cultivators looked at each other, and the expressions of several of them had already changed.
For the past two weeks, they have been listening to Luo Tianfei talk about the Myriad Manifestations Divine Court, and they know what level of power it is.
"Their minimum strength is at the peak of the Spirit Venerable Realm," Lu Sheng continued. "If Luo Tianfei's judgment is correct, there are also five to eight team members among them who are at the Spirit Emperor Realm to the Spirit Venerable Realm."
A Spirit Emperor Realm cultivator named Zhou Lei couldn't help but speak up: "My lord, peak Spirit Venerable Realm... the strongest on our side, besides you, is Senior Dao Yi, who is at the peak Spirit Emperor Realm. The rest of us combined are no match for a Spirit Venerable Realm cultivator."
"That's why I didn't let you guys go fight." Lu Sheng glanced at him.
"Here's the arrangement for today. I'll intercept them in space. You'll stand by within Earth's outer defense perimeter. If anyone manages to escape from under my control, you'll be responsible for cleaning up the mess."
"That's it?" Li Xiaoyao blinked.
"That's it." Lu Sheng nodded. "You don't need to deal with a reconnaissance team. Your task is simple—learn."
"What to study?"
"Learn how I fight Spirit Venerable Realm enemies." Lu Sheng stood up. "You'll all encounter Spirit Venerable Realm enemies sooner or later. Today, let's see what a Spirit Venerable Realm enemy looks like in front of a Spirit Saint Realm. That way, you'll have a better understanding."
Dao Yi swallowed hard.
The Lord's meaning is clear—today is a lesson. He is the teacher, and the scouts are the teaching aids.
After giving his instructions, Lu Sheng walked straight out of the command room.
He flew to the highest point of Dengxian Island and looked up at the sky.
Six hours.
Not far away.
He took out the Dragon Devourer Spear from his storage space and weighed it in his hand.
Having been tempered in so many battles, this gun has grown to an alarming weight. The purplish-gold luster on the gun body has become increasingly deep, and the dragon pattern on the shaft is faintly visible.
"It's been a long time since I've had a proper fight."
Lu Sheng slung the gun over his shoulder, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Time passed second by second.
Four hours later.
Lu Sheng has already flown to the outermost layer of Earth's outer defense perimeter.
He hovered in space, his fourteen black and gold dragon wings slowly unfurling to form a massive fan shape behind him. The two newly grown silver-gray dragon wings shimmered coldly in the starlight.
Before him lay the endless darkness of space.
Luo Tianfei's communications continuously updated the target's location.
"Forty-five minutes remaining until we reach the outer defensive perimeter."
Lu Sheng closed his eyes and relaxed his whole body.
His perception extended outwards. The range of perception of a Spirit Saint is ridiculously large; within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, not a single energy fluctuation can escape his detection.
Thirty minutes later.
He sensed it.
In the far reaches of space, a faint, almost nonexistent energy fluctuation is moving toward Earth at an extremely fast speed.
If it weren't for the perception of a Spirit Saint, it would be completely undetectable. The stealth technology of that reconnaissance ship was indeed first-rate, compressing its energy signal almost to zero.
"I've found you."
Lu Sheng opened his eyes and aimed in that direction.
He didn't rush to make a move.
He wanted to wait until the other person got closer.
So close that the other party doesn't have time to run away.
Twenty minutes later.
That faint energy fluctuation had entered the core area of Lu Sheng's perception range.
The distance is approximately 50,000 li.
Lu Shengneng "saw" the aircraft.
It was a sleek, silver-white spaceship, not very large, about the size of an office building on Earth. Its hull was coated with a special camouflage paint, making it almost completely transparent in space.
If Lu Sheng hadn't had such strong perception, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
The spaceship's speed is decreasing.
They became cautious as they approached the target area.
"That's interesting."
Lu Sheng gripped the Dragon Devouring Spear tightly.
He wasn't going to wait any longer.
With a sudden flap of his dragon wings, he tore through the space in front of him and flashed toward the silver-white spaceship.
