Sensing danger, Qin Feng immediately ordered the universe battleship to descend. If they continued forward, the battleship would be completely destroyed. Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, the patriarch of the Tiangang tribe immediately ordered the universe battleship to advance in the opposite direction, descending towards the terrifying planet they had departed from.
This was Qin Feng's command, and they had to obey. They understood that the undetectable power was destroying their universe battleship. Even though their battleship had been upgraded, their defenses and shields were fully activated, yet this power still caused the battleship to emit warning sounds, which was enough to illustrate how formidable this terrifying power was.
It was a power they could not detect. Since Qin Feng had ordered them to descend, it meant he certainly knew the terrifying nature of this power. They could only obey obediently to ensure their survival. As long as they lived, there was hope. Even if the universe battleship could not leave this planet, according to Qin Feng, there was another way to leave. Although they didn't know what that method was, they were still filled with anticipation. At the very least, they wouldn't risk their lives to escape the planet.
If the universe battleship exploded, they would have no chance of survival in space and would die immediately.
As the universe battleship slowly advanced towards the planet, the terrifying power also grew weaker and weaker. Qin Feng could keenly feel that the force pressing against their universe battleship was gradually releasing its grip. As long as they did not attempt to move away from the planet, they would not encounter danger, and the terrifying dark hand would not attack them.
Qin Feng understood what that power represented. With his current strength, he was incapable of confronting the strange and powerful force of the hand. Even with his Mahayana stage cultivation and his perfect defense from sword control techniques, he was no match for the terrifying power of the hand.
That dark power did not originate from any single entity; it seemed to have been placed above this planet long ago. Its purpose was to prevent those attempting to leave the planet, especially those using high-tech means to escape. This was absolutely not allowed. Other than possessing strength that surpassed this dark power, there was no other way to leave the planet.
This attempt by the universe battleship to break free from the planet had triggered this peculiar power, allowing Qin Feng to better understand his current level of strength. To attempt to leave the planet, he needed to elevate his strength by another step. In other words, his cultivation realm had to reach the Immortal stage or above to potentially break free from the constraints of this world and to confront that dark hand.
However, once he reached the Immortal stage, a contract within him would be triggered. According to the contract's terms, he would have to undertake a dangerous task. This was something Qin Feng did not wish to do, and it was the root of his reluctance to increase his strength. But now, it seemed that without increasing his strength, he would have no way to leave this place, ultimately leading to a dead end. This appeared to be a deadlock, with no solution.
However, Qin Feng had another plan: to utilize the extensive knowledge of teleportation arrays in his mind to construct a teleportation array and leave the planet. The power of teleportation arrays was entirely different from the power of high technology. Even if the dark hand's power was immense, it would be unable to stop the might of a teleportation array.
This was because teleportation arrays were righteous immortal abilities. Even if the dark hand's power was strong, it could not prevent them when a teleportation array was activated, as the spatial power of a teleportation array could not be obstructed. No matter how powerful it was, even if there was a significant gap between its strength and the dark power, as long as the teleportation array was activated, he could safely leave this place and depart from the planet. The dark power would be utterly incapable of stopping him.
However, setting up such a teleportation array was still a considerable challenge for Qin Feng at his current stage. It wasn't just about the materials, but also the complexity of the teleportation array itself. Moreover, his own strength was a crucial key to activating this teleportation array. His current strength was insufficient to activate such a complex array; he needed to increase his strength again.
The increase in strength was different from the increase in cultivation realm. Although he was currently only at the Mahayana stage, as long as he could raise his strength to the Immortal stage or above, while still possessing his Mahayana stage cultivation, that would suffice. He could then activate the teleportation array, return to his original world, and leave this bizarre planet.
At the same time, the contract within his body would not be triggered, making it a win-win situation. To achieve this, he had to continue challenging high-level spiritual energy gathering spots, find teleportation arrays, use them to refresh his experience and treasures, and then convert them into his own strength. When he reached level 1000, all treasures would be transformed into strength, allowing him to significantly boost his power. His overall combat power would directly surpass the Immortal stage, and at that point, he would be able to construct very complex teleportation arrays.
Thus, as the universe battleship slowly descended, the dark power had completely vanished, and the warning sounds within the battleship ceased. Sensing that everything around them had returned to normal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least they had regained their safety and were no longer in mortal danger.
However, at the same time, they were also very worried. Since they could not leave the planet, they had no idea how long they could survive. Their only hope now was Qin Feng, because Qin Feng had already stated that he had other ways to leave the planet. This was their sole reliance. Towards this alien who looked completely different from them, the members of the Tiangang tribe had already regarded him as their savior. Qin Feng was now the only one who could save their lives and lead them away from this planet; he was their only hope.
Concurrently, the monster in the Level Six Spiritual Energy Gathering Spot, upon seeing that strange dark power, was too terrified to speak. Only when he felt the warning sounds completely disappear did he let out a long sigh of relief. He quietly said to Qin Feng, "Was that power coming to hunt me? Just now, I felt as if I was one step away from death. Was it because I was on this universe battleship that you couldn't leave? If I hadn't come out of the secret realm, could you have left safely? If that's the case, you can try again. I'll go back into the secret realm and won't move around so freely."
Hearing this, Qin Feng shook his head and said, "It's not because of you. It's the one who teleported us to this planet who doesn't want to see us leave so easily. Escaping this planet using a high-tech universe battleship is clearly unfeasible, or rather, with current technology, we cannot contend with that power. The universe battleship would need to be upgraded again, and it seems you don't possess such technology. Only more advanced monsters or higher civilizations can build such universe battleships. For now, let's return to the planet to make our next plan."
