Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: GoldenLung 

This target was also a destination that the Seventh Fleet would inevitably reach after nearby attacks, so it was placed later in the queue.

This planet was named Dragon Horse Seventy-Six Resource Planet by the Douluo Federation. It belonged to a powerful race in the Dragon Horse galaxy, ranking among the top ten in the galaxy, known as the Spaceborne Clan.

Their warships were also the most distinctive, capable of conducting mid-range space jumps. They could jump almost point-to-point within a range of one light-year without passing through a wormhole, making them extremely agile.

There were not many warships of the Spaceborne Clan, but they had caused some trouble for the Federation fleet in the past. Fortunately, their warship numbers were not too large, and their combat strength was relatively weak compared to their space-jumping abilities. Otherwise, the damage they could inflict would be even more terrifying.

The reason why the Douluo Federation was able to develop the spatial overlap technology, which greatly increased the storage capacity of a storage device, was that they obtained a kind of mineral from the Spaceborne Clan's trading on Sin Planet. This mineral was also a rare metal, known as the origin of spatial elements by the Spaceborne Clan. It was abbreviated as the Space Origin Crystal.

Inside the Space Origin Crystal, there was a very rich spatial element, and more importantly, the spatial element that had always been highly chaotic could actually be contained in a solid form. This thing was really precious, but it was difficult to mine.

The space jumping ability of the Spaceborne Clan's warship was developed based on the Space Origin Crystal. This was also one of the most precious rare metals currently known in the Douluo Federation. Moreover, the Space Origin Crystal was monopolized by the Spaceborne Clan, which was their biggest advantage in becoming one of the top ten races in the Dragon Horse Galaxy.

Regarding the Space Origin Crystal, even the Celestial Dragon Planet and Celestial Steed Planet coveted it. However, the Spaceborne Clan held an extremely tough attitude towards protecting the Space Origin Crystal. They would rather destroy it than compromise with any party.

Therefore, the Celestial Dragon Planet and Celestial Steed Planet could only obtain a certain amount of Space Origin Crystal through trade.

The Space Origin Crystal was also classified as the most important military material in the Dragon Horse galaxy and trading it was strictly prohibited, let alone trading it to the Douluo Federation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, wherever there were benefits in the universe, there were ways to obtain them. It was precisely because of its rarity and prohibition that the price of the Space Origin Crystal became particularly high. The exorbitant price of this thing was jaw-dropping.

A fist-sized Space Origin Crystal could buy ten anti-matter missiles. It was that expensive.

The Douluo Federation paid a high price through various channels and means to obtain some resources. However, through research on the Space Origin Crystal, the Douluo Federation made significant technological advances in space, almost advancing an era. Space compression, space overlap, and space jump technology had all developed significantly. The demand for Space Origin Crystals was almost infinite.

In the assault on the Dragon Horse Galaxy, Space Origin Crystal was one of the top three resource targets.

Of course, obtaining Space Origin Crystal was extremely difficult. As the most important resource for the Spaceborne Clan, the Space Origin Crystal was naturally heavily guarded, with powerful defenders. According to the current intelligence known to the Federation, although the Spaceborne Clan did not have super god-rank experts, they did have true god-rank experts, and more than one. They were especially good at various spatial abilities and were very difficult to deal with. This was also why the Celestial Dragon Planet and the Celestial Steed Planet were unable to deal with them.

Planet Dragon Horse Seventy-Six was the most important resource planet for producing Space Origin Crystals. The Tang Sect Federation had to pay a thousand tons of various rare metals on Heaven Luo just to find out this information.

The planet was one of thirteen controlled by the Spaceborne Clan, and it was the most important one.

Lan Xuanyu was incredibly bold to set his sights on planet Dragon Horse Seventy-Six, so he didn't even tell Yan Xinghe.

There were always true god-rank powerhouses stationed on the planet. It was heavily guarded and limited in terms of exploitation.

No one knew how the resource planet was formed, but the Space Origin Crystals themselves, given a certain quantity, would naturally absorb the power of space and solidify. As long as the exploitation was not excessive, the Space Origin Crystals would continue to provide a steady supply.

This was also why the Spaceborne Clan did not have enough warships. They calculated that as long as the annual mining volume did not exceed a certain amount, the total amount of Space Origin Crystals on Resource Planet 76 would not decrease. This was the treasure of their entire clan, and they would not exhaust it recklessly.

Lan Xuanyu and his companions carefully considered and discussed targeting this planet.

They had advantages that others did not have. According to the intelligence they had, the rare metals produced on planet Dragon Horse Seventy-Six were not just Space Origin Crystals, but three other types as well. However, these other three rare metals were not as valuable. Tang Yuge's Five Elements Escape technique was enough to move among these metal ores, making it easier for them to penetrate deeper. In this way, they had a chance to obtain Space Origin Crystals.

Even if they could only obtain a small amount of the Space Origin Crystals, it would still be a valuable thing! They just needed to avoid the true god-rank powerhouses of the enemy side.

Even a true god-rank expert couldn't cover the entire planet with their divine consciousness.

There was a Treasure Seeking Beast that could hide their presence and probe the location of the Space Origin Crystal, and there was Tang Yugé's Five Elements Escape Technique. Their chances were still quite good.

They weren't here to seize, but to steal.

Space Origin Crystal was one of the most precious resources in the Dragon Horse Galaxy. The Federation's intelligence needs for Planet 76 were also extremely urgent. In this war, they might not be able to reach this side and plunder the Space Origin Crystals. But obtaining enough intelligence was also of great value to the Douluo Federation and was a considerable military merit.

Therefore, after careful consideration and consultation with their partners, they turned their attention here.

"Come on, let's have a meeting and determine the next course of action." Lan Xuanyu set the warship to cruise mode and called everyone to the front.

“After arriving, we immediately begin our operation. Following our previous plan, Little Trea will cover our presence as we infiltrate planet 76. Its illusionary abilities are also on the level of divine perception, enough to shield us and allow us to successfully land. Now, the problem we are facing is that we have no knowledge of the planet's defense deployment or environment. Meanwhile, someone needs to stay on the Thirty-Three Sky Wings Warship to provide support. This operation is not for combat, but mainly for obtaining information and Space Origin Crystals. Therefore, for manpower, myself, Yuge, and Huihui will infiltrate, while Mengqin, Xiuxiu, Frenzie, and Fatty will stay on the warship, ready to support us at any time. If we encounter any trouble or lose contact, you all must return immediately, understood?" 

Qian Lei said, "Boss, why aren't you taking me with you?"

Liu Feng didn't say anything and just nodded.

Lan Mengqin bumped Qian Lei and signaled for him to be quiet.

Bai Xiuxiu calmly looked at Lan Xuanyu and said, "I am going with you guys. I don't want to experience the pain of losing Teacher Nana again. Whether we succeed or fail, I want to be with you."

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows and looked at the others, but eventually nodded and said, "Alright, that's settled. The four of us will go." He couldn't refuse Bai Xiuxiu because he didn't know how to.

"Since we're not familiar with the situation on the planet, once we successfully land, Yuge, you'll immediately lead us to use your Golden Burrow to go underground. Little Trea will help us conceal our aura. We'll try to go deeper and find the Space Origin Crystals."

"Frenzie, you stay in space, orbiting around planet 76, with the main engine turned off and all vibrations minimized as much as possible. Don't worry about energy consumption, and continue to hover in stealth form. Record the surface of planet 76. Don't transmit them back yet, wait until we leave. During this time, don't try to contact us actively. Radio waves will expose us to each other. We will contact you again when we return. "
