Chapter 2844 - 7: Territory Master Ambush

"Earlier, I listened to that Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform, and initially felt a bit disdainful towards the Central Starfield of the Milky Way. But now, this place is far beyond my contempt."

Jia Yan sighed softly.

There are so many Domain Master Creatures, definitely more terrifying than the Insect Clan Queen. Yet, among these numerous Domain Master Creatures, only about a hundred High-level Experts have emerged, indicating that the gap between Domain Master and high-level experts is far more daunting than Jia Yan imagined.

Originally, Jia Yan had some confidence in reaching Star River High-Level and even the Pinnacle, but seeing this situation today, his confidence waned considerably.

"Food has to be eaten bite by bite, and paths have to be walked step by step. Now I’m not even at the existence of Domain Master level, thinking about the high-level pinnacle existence is a bit too ambitious. So there’s no need to think about it too much."

Jia Yan shook his head, allowing his true body to quickly retreat into the deeper layers of Subspace again.

"Since that place is not too far, within ten light years, entering tenth-degree subspace isn’t worth it anyway. Besides, it would be impossible to move accurately at the tenth-degree level, even though I know I have to pass through the two forces that have fought against the Insect Clan Queen and others. But I assume I’m just one of the Queen’s people yet to be exposed, they probably won’t think of dealing with me beforehand."

Jia Yan planned to move forward at a depth around Seventh-Degree Subspace.

This would allow him to better control direction and accuracy, avoiding situations like reaching ten light years and overshooting by half a light year. If he travels using tenth-degree subspace, such half-light-year errors could occur.

Therefore, for Jia Yan, this was the only solution.

He was aware that unexpected situations might arise in this process, yet he clung to a lucky notion, considering he had only just arrived at the Central Sector of the Milky Way. If enemies were already aware of him being one of the Insect Clan Queen’s subordinates, it could only mean there was a traitor among the Queen’s ranks.

Jia Yan hadn’t expected that this ’traitor’ would indeed manifest.

Huff.

Huff.

Unlike the silent and stealthy threat hidden in tenth-degree subspace, inside Seventh-Degree the menace seemed to be directly exposed, appearing far more dangerous compared to the calmness within tenth-degree subspace.

However, Jia Yan was long familiar with tenth-degree subspace, so there was no way he would fear this intimidating, yet ultimately less threatening, Seventh-degree subspace.

Thus, he felt no danger at all within Seventh-degree, even having spare time to undertake cultivation.

The advancement was completely entrusted to the Adisa.

The Adisa had received a wealth of resources within the game space, and it was currently in a state eager to exert them.

A huge Giant Mosquito, with Compound Eyes flashing with brilliance, flew forward with imposing manner within Seventh-Degree Subspace.

"Lord, now that we’re headed to the Insect Clan Queen, should you ask for a little more resource allocation from her? I feel they didn’t really keep their promises before; if they hadn’t kept you from promoting within the Energy Circle, we wouldn’t have faced earlier dangers."

Adisa muttered alongside Jia Yan.

It’s not a physical entity but a manifestation of the intelligence inside Adisa, so it wouldn’t be affected by the subspace environment.

Jia Yan glanced at this enlarged being, resembling another Giant Mosquito, flying beside him, shaking his head slightly.

"Impossible, actually I violated orders first, they gave me a Star Core, and I didn’t use it for promotion, which already displeased the Insect Clan Queen. If I still demand compensation, it’s just asking for trouble."

Jia Yan didn’t intend to request any compensation upon returning from the Queen.

He knew that even if the Insect Clan Queen was placating others, she wouldn’t show any favoritism towards him, which would be unfair to others. No matter how much she valued Jia Yan herself, she would not do such things.

Besides, does the Insect Clan Queen really value Jia Yan as much as Adisa imagines?

Jia Yan smiled slightly, knowing that it was not possible.

Especially upon reaching the Central Star Domain, he knew this was even less likely.

In this starfield, geniuses abound. Jia Yan felt that the earlier Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform seemed to have a comparable talent to him; of course, the specific combat power would only be known after clashing.

So he wasn’t arrogant, thinking that just because of his talent being valued by the Queen, he would receive rewards would be his own self-deception.

Jia Yan progressed in subspace.

Yet after traveling about half the distance, he felt mildly uncomfortable.

"Why do I feel uneasy in my heart?"

Jia Yan felt slightly concerned.

He knew his strength had reached the Star River Middle Stage, and frequent intense battles had granted him an instinctive sense of danger.

Though this awareness isn’t as acute as most professionals, he was convinced it would enable him to navigate away from potential harm.

This current anxiety was reminiscent of the sensation he had when previously encountering danger.

"Yet I’m within Seventh-Degree Subspace, where typically, no entities can attack through here... Ah, wait... if it’s Star River level strength or Domain Master level creatures, then it’s possible."

As Jia Yan realized this, he didn’t have time to relay evasive orders to Adisa...

Bang!

Outside the subspace, a tremendous power abruptly arrived.

"Damn, domain master strength!"

Jia Yan, sensing the terrifying force, changed expression instantly.

This was the strength of a Domain Lord Level Being.

The external power crashing into subspace came from one such creature.

"Hmph, this subordinate of the Insect Clan Queen indeed possesses excellent subspace talent, using Seventh-Degree Subspace as their routine movement method, their talent is remarkable."

A creature resembling a human with two horns outside subspace, with an arm raised in an apparent motion, clearly it was he who had just swung a fist to attack an existence within subspace.

This being, standing eighty or ninety kilometers tall, although not a giant among domain lord creatures, possessed undeniable Domain Master Level power.

Engulfed in horrific might, during this punch, the brainwave power of this Domain lord exploded.

This brainwave strength aided in amplifying his fist energy, all breaking into the interior of subspace.

With Domain Master level strength, a punch can strike directly into Tenth-degree subspace.

However, this Domain lord creature seemed to have suffered injuries, his attack couldn’t reach Tenth-degree Subspace.

But the target he aimed to attack wasn’t within Tenth-degree.

It was in Seventh-degree Subspace.

"Oh no!"

At this moment, within Seventh-degree Subspace, Jia Yan who was vigilant moments ago, suddenly sensed the strike’s emergence, feeling a dire situation.

"Damn, I can’t evade this strike!"

The single blow from a Domain Lord Level Being is utterly earth-shakingly terrifying. The moment Jia Yan sensed the appearance of this attack, he knew he definitely couldn’t evade it.

"If I can’t fully evade it, I must avoid any vital areas. Adisa, prepare to jet!"

Jia Yan not only hoped to evade the attack using his own strength but was also planning to have Adisa unleash its continuously maintained jetting energy at once.

This was one of Jia Yan’s usual means of survival.

"Got it!"

Adisa quickly nodded, and then, from Jia Yan’s back, where Adisa was carried, a sudden burst of flame erupted.

Though this sounds complex, it actually took only an instant.

Of course, this brief moment is a long duration for strong ones.

If Jia Yan’s reaction were even slightly slower, the opponent’s fist energy would fall upon him.
