Devour: Emperor Yan

These two fourth-tier cosmic-level powerhouses were slaves that Lin Kun purchased more than a hundred years ago.

When they were purchased, they were only at the first or second tier of the cosmic level. Now, nearly a century later, they have both advanced to the fourth tier of the cosmic level.

The man on the left, who is over three meters tall, muscular, bald, and has bronze skin, is named Otto, and is a martial artist.

The other man, a lean, over two-meter-tall middle-aged man with a dozen small antennae on his forehead and green skin, named Tiegu, was a mentalist and a master of soul illusion attacks.

Looking at the two cosmic-level servants before him, Lin Kun's thoughts drifted into memories.

More than a hundred years ago, during a guard mission, Lin Kun's transport fleet was attacked by a group of space pirates.

Thus, the two sides engaged in a bloody battle in the starry sky.

With only a few hundred thousand Black Dragon Coins a year, why risk your life?

So, Lin Kun slacked off on the edge of the battlefield, and as a seventh-level star-rank warrior, he fought a back-and-forth battle against a fifth-level star-rank pirate.

The two sides fought their way from the vastness of space to a desolate planet.

The battle was fierce, but upon closer inspection, neither side actually lost much health.

Only after getting far away from the main battlefield did Lin Kun estimate that it was about time, and then suddenly unleashed his domain to kill his opponent with a single strike, before looting the corpse and running away.

He has a spatial ring with a large internal space, inside which is a C9-class, flat, round, saucer-shaped spaceship with a diameter of over a hundred meters, which is his hard-earned possession.

It's for unforeseen circumstances, so we can be ready to flee at any time.

Transport ship escort squadrons like theirs are fine for fighting when things are going well, but if they encounter vicious space pirates, they are simply no match for them. If they try to fight them head-on, they will only become cannon fodder.

Lin Kun wasn't the only one doing this at the scene.

Given the opportunity, they are basically all trying to find a way to escape.

After all, the goods belong to the boss, but your life is your own.

Unless there is no other way, or one cannot leave, one has no choice but to stay and fight for their life.

Just as Lin Kun released the spaceship to make his escape, a corpse suddenly fell from the sky!

It was the corpse of a space pirate. Lin Kun didn't hesitate to touch the body, then quickly piloted his spaceship away.

After entering the dark universe and completely leaving that area.

Lin Kun was overjoyed when he inspected the spoils of war.

Because that cosmic-level space pirate is incredibly wealthy!

In addition to a set of Tier 3 Force Armor and a Tier 3 Force Blade, there is also a spatial ring with a vast internal space, measuring a kilometer in length, width, and height.

Lin Kun was excited and immediately made a fortune!

Yes, that Tier 3 armor is the one he's wearing now, as is his battle sword.

Inside that spatial ring, besides a great deal of wealth and several cosmic crystals, there was also a D3-class spaceship!

More importantly, one of the books contains an ancient book that records an extremely rare and precious technique: the secret method of possession!

......

Inside the D3 spacecraft.

Although the spaceship's exterior was covered in damage, its interior remained intact.

Inside the spacious driver's cab.

Lin Kun sat down on the sofa, with two cosmic-level slaves standing respectfully in front of him.

"It's been nearly a century since we last met. Not only have you successfully completed your mission and returned, but you've also all advanced from the first or second tier of the cosmic level to the fourth tier. Congratulations!"

Lin Kun smiled, personally poured a glass of wine for each of them, then poured one for himself, raised it, and said, "Come, a toast to you both!"

"Thank you, Master." Alto and Ironbone bowed in thanks, then raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

Lin Kun smiled and downed his drink in one gulp.

He immediately put down his wine glass, his gaze falling on the two of them with a questioning tone, "Where's the stuff?"

"Please follow us, Master." With that, Alto and Iron Bone led the way, taking Lin Kun out of the driver's seat.

The three arrived at a hidden compartment on the bottom level of the spaceship.

snort~

As the cabin door opened, Lin Kun glanced around and saw a tall, robust figure lying quietly inside.

The three stepped into the cabin.

"Master, it is him," Tiegu said. "Because his soul was trapped in an illusion, he has been in a deep sleep all these years."

Lin Kun nodded without saying a word and slowly stepped forward.

There lay a boy with his eyes closed, lying quietly on the alloy floor, his hands and feet tightly bound by a metal chain.

Its face is square and handsome, its skin is wheat-colored, it is about six meters tall, and it has a strong physique. It has a single black horn on its forehead, and its bare body is covered with black scales on its arms, shoulders, chest and other parts.

Beside it, a set of fiery red armor was neatly stacked, complete with helmet, breastplate, arm guards, skirt, leg guards, boots, and more.

There was also a dark red battle sword lying there.

"This is the high-grade, third-tier fire-elemental battle armor and the battle blade?" Lin Kun raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Master." Iron Bone nodded.

A hint of longing flashed deep in the eyes of the usually taciturn Alto.

Tier 3 high-grade Force Armor and Battle Blade!

Which martial artist doesn't yearn for that?

"Not bad." Lin Kun simply nodded, not paying much attention, and his gaze shifted back to the burly young man.

I'm so excited!

This boy looks very much like a human.

And that is indeed the case; this race was originally a branch of the human race.

The Flame God Clan!

......

"The Flame God Clan..."

More than a hundred years ago.

After obtaining the secret technique for possession, Lin Kun couldn't help but have designs on it.

Since you don't have a cheat code, why not create one for yourself?

Since I lack talent myself, I'll possess the body of someone who does!

And the object of possession.

Lin Kun chose the Yan God Clan almost without much hesitation.

So he disposed of many unused items in his spatial ring and then purchased two first and second-tier cosmic-level slaves, a martial artist, and a mentalist/illusionist.

Then, taking them aboard that D3-class spaceship, it took decades to leave the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and arrive at the Savage Universe Kingdom, at the edge of human territory.

About a hundred years ago, Otto and Ironbone piloted this D3 spaceship, leaving the human territory and heading to the incredibly distant Yan Mystic Realm!

Their mission was to capture a Star-level Flame God and bring him back.

After completing the mission, Lin Kun's promise to them was: freedom!

For Alto and Ironbone, this journey was fraught with peril, a near-death experience.

But they had no choice; they had to bite the bullet and go for it.

Aside from being slaves and having no way to disobey their masters' orders, didn't they also yearn for freedom?

To issue such a mission that is clearly tantamount to sending someone to their death.

Is it cruel?

maybe.

But Lin Kun bought them with money, and after they completed the tasks assigned to them, Lin Kun gave them their freedom. It's fair, isn't it?

Fortunately, both of them were lucky, and Lin Kun was lucky too.

A century has passed, and they actually did it. Not only did they complete the mission, but they also safely brought the target back to the human territory.

They completed their mission and would be free from now on, while Lin Kun got what he wanted.

"you......"

Even though he already knew the outcome, Lin Kun was still incredibly shocked.

He made that decision on a whim back then.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was highly unreliable.

This task is simply impossible to complete.

But to my surprise, these two actually managed to finish it!

Really.

That's awesome!

Lin Kun even wondered if he was dreaming, feeling a strange sense of unreality.

This luck seems a bit heaven-defying.
