Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 433 - 299: The Threat to Earth

Shen Yucheng flew westward for more than two hundred kilometers, and when he entered Star Night, he landed and found a cave to spend the night.

The next day, as daylight broke, his injuries had healed significantly, and he continued flying.

But after only a short while, he landed, stood on a cliff of a mountain peak, and looked around, yet he discovered nothing—a look of helplessness on his face, he shouted, "Stop following me, come out and talk."

He shouted several times, but there was no response.

Shen Yucheng wasn’t in a hurry. He sat down on the spot and did nothing, slowly tending to his injuries.

Twenty-some kilometers away, Ji Xinghuo was hovering in mid-air. Although he couldn’t hear Shen Yucheng’s shouting, he could guess what had been said. Seeing Shen Yucheng motionless and sitting for two to three hours without getting up, he decided to show himself.

Boom...

The sound of breaking through the air came from the horizon, and Shen Yucheng saw a figure speeding toward him from afar, quickly standing up.

Ji Xinghuo flew to a standstill outside the cliff and stared at him expressionlessly.

"I knew it!"

Shen Yucheng snorted but didn’t dare to be too presumptuous in front of Ji Xinghuo, asking, "What exactly will it take for you to let me go?"

"I’m not stopping you from leaving," Ji Xinghuo said flatly.

"Then can you stop following me?" Shen Yucheng spread his hands to show he had no intention of attacking, "I couldn’t possibly go looking for the original body, nor would I go back to Earth with you to surrender to the Sword Bureau. If you push me too hard, I’d rather die."

Actually, Ji Xinghuo hadn’t really decided either.

Coming across Shen Yucheng this time was a stroke of luck; if he let him slip away now, it would be virtually impossible to find him again.

If the one before him was Shen Yucheng’s original body, things would be simple, but since it was just a clone, pushing him too hard could lead to his suicide and escape from the predicament.

Thus, Ji Xinghuo could only try to track him.

Having explored the Star Realm for more than twenty years, Shen Yucheng, experienced and calculative, naturally guessed he was being followed and would never reveal where his original body was.

In fact, for many years, this clone might not contact the original body at all.

"How about this," Shen Yucheng seemed to see Ji Xinghuo’s predicament, "I’ll exchange my freedom for a Transcendent Species."

Ji Xinghuo was tempted. He wouldn’t ordinarily care for just any Transcendent Species, but one that Shen Yucheng was willing to trade had to be significant.

"What species?"

"See for yourself," Shen Yucheng drew a flesh-colored, broad bean-shaped creature from his belt and tossed it over.

With apparent reluctance he said, "This isn’t any ordinary Transcendent Species. You can fuse with it yourself or if you don’t like it, sell it. It should be worth at least five or six hundred million Ya Yuan."

Ji Xinghuo caught the species, which felt soft and fleshy like a piece of flesh.

Information about the species popped up in his vision.

[Species: Clone Twin]

[Grade: Transcendent]

[Fusion Success Rate: 69%, 42%]

[Upgradeable: Yes]

"Indeed, a Clone Twin..."

Ji Xinghuo had guessed it—Shen Yucheng’s presentable species was the Clone Twin. Though he had already merged with one, the fact that he could offer the same species indicated a stable source.

The Clone Twin is among the rarest of the Transcendent Species, which means its origins or producer can’t be plentiful.

Previously, Ji Xinghuo had also seen a Clone Twin in Eternal Day City.

It was highly likely that Shen Yucheng’s Clone Twin came from the same source as that of Eternal Day City, revealing one thing: Shen Yucheng would appear in Eternal Day City.

Even if he didn’t stay in Eternal Day City regularly, it certainly was within his area of activity.

That made things easier.

Ji Xinghuo smiled inwardly; as a General of Eternal Day, using his authority to have the Crystal Elite Clan search for someone was easy. As long as Shen Yucheng went to Eternal Day City again, he could easily find him and track down his original body.

"A Clone Twin, you’re willing to give it to me?" Ji Xinghuo’s face remained stoic as he didn’t immediately accept the species.

"I’ve already merged with one. Using it to buy a clone’s life is worth it," Shen Yucheng was clearly pained, but still managed a strained smile, "You’re a bit harsh, but there’s no enmity between us, so I suppose you’re somewhat trustworthy."

He dared to offer the Clone Twin because he saw that Ji Xinghuo had his limits and wasn’t a merciless adversary.

Otherwise, after toppling him yesterday, Shen Yucheng should have been searched and plundered.

Or simply killed to take everything.

Ji Xinghuo examined the species, looked at Shen Yucheng, and finally nodded, "You’re free to go."

"Thank you!"

Overjoyed, Shen Yucheng immediately prepared to fly away.

"Wait," Ji Xinghuo called out to him, reaching into his pouch and tossing a leather bag to him, "I won’t take your species for nothing. This is your payment."

Shen Yucheng caught the bag and peeked inside—more than twenty Ether Crystals. His expression was mixed; these didn’t equate to the value of the Clone Twin species, but the difference wasn’t too great—it wasn’t a total loss.

Before he could say anything more, Ji Xinghuo turned and soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

"That guy has principles," Shen Yucheng remarked, securing the bag before he flew off in another direction.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t continue to follow him, instead heading toward Peach Blossom Valley.

The starting bid for a Clone Twin at the rare treasure auction was 30 Ether Crystals + 60 Merit Points. He had only given just over twenty Ether Crystals, not to take advantage but to create the illusion for Shen Yucheng that he wasn’t aware of the real value of the Clone Twin, that he had not been to Eternal Day City.

During the flight, Ji Xinghuo took out the species again, revisiting the information.

"Why is the Fusion Success Rate only 69%?"

Feeling frustrated, he had been eager to merge with this species and create a clone, having even planned for the clone’s use.
