Koser had originally planned to make his move when they met in the Star Garbage Tunnel, but after seeing the monitor on the wristband screen showing Lin Yan's position had stopped, he had to change his original kill location.

The black spherical instrument exploded in the starry sky. The sound could not travel and the energy of the explosion was very weak. However, Lin Yan had been on guard against it during his time in the Garbage Mountain. Whenever someone approached, he would have Wind Queen keep an eye on them and pay attention to any unusual behavior.

Koser suddenly left the space debris tunnel at this location, and the monitoring equipment was instantly destroyed. He understood perfectly well—

The Alien Race... ultimately did not give up this opportunity.

Lin Yan also immediately used the authorized "monitoring network diagram" to send an alarm directly to the warning system.

Within the Wu Long Star Domain.

As Koser destroyed the equipment, he swiftly approached the Garbage Mountain, a cold glint flashing in his eerie green eyes. "Even if Lin Yan has extremely high authority and can move directly in the Garbage Star Domain without a guide, the operating logic of the alert system will not change."

"The warning system will only detect malfunctions in the monitoring point instruments, but it will be unable to accurately determine what is happening in the star field after I destroy the monitoring points!"

"Even if Lin Yan issues an alarm, according to procedure, a communication connection still needs to be established with him before a powerful figure can be dispatched... Because of the great distance, even Universe Venerable would need to rely on Divine Kingdom Teleportation and instantaneous movement to arrive in a very short time, at the fastest it would take 30 seconds."

"Kill No. 1 within 30 seconds."

"According to the mission assigned to me by the organization, there can be no delay in these 30 seconds. Release that powerful Immortal God immediately!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Koser's mind, and a sesame-seed-sized Black Crystal Stone appeared in his hand.

Click!

The Black Crystal Stone shattered instantly.

Moment.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

An incredibly terrifying aura spread across the sky, and at the same time, a dazzling light erupted where Koser was, making that part of the starry sky seem like a star!

The center of endless light.

He was thirteen meters tall, wearing bright white battle armor, with some golden scales on his head, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Immortal, you have 30 seconds. You must complete the mission within 30 seconds, or the strongest among humans will arrive." Koser's eyes were filled with madness as he rapidly transmitted his voice World Power.

"Understood." A deep voice echoed in Koser's mind.

Boom!

Koser was immediately enveloped by the light containing the power of the law, and his body instantly collapsed. As a pawn carrying out an assassination mission, the Zerg would never allow Koser to live, so that humans could search his soul and find out some secrets of the Zerg Infiltration Organization.

At the same time.

Endless divine power poured down, and the towering, Immortal God looked down at the Garbage Mountain below.

A dazzling sphere of light condensed in front of him, with a large amount of light flowing and gathering on its surface, directly forming a sphere of light with a diameter of more than one kilometer.

Laugh!

The dazzling, brilliant white sphere of light, imbued with the power of laws, instantly swept towards the Garbage Mountain. The entire Garbage Mountain seemed to be enveloped by the sphere of light, and the Universe Space seemed to melt away, with countless remnants instantly turning into nothingness.

The explosion spread for tens of thousands of kilometers around, and in that instant, the Immortal God in white battle armor swooped down with lightning speed.

Suddenly--

"Boom..."

Accompanied by the endless dazzling light, the massive energy fluctuations seemed to boil over. But then, a dazzling azure light shot into the sky, and an incomparably bright azure halo spread out.

A Palace Cluster suspended in the starry sky.

The five administrators of the Wu Long Star Domain are chatting idly.

"I originally thought Lin Yan's trip to Taobao would only last about six months, but it's been almost three years and he still hasn't returned," said King Da Nian, holding his wine glass.

King Yin Ge chuckled and said, "Perhaps he has found some valuable items."

Upon hearing this, the King Yan Zhu burst into laughter.

He secretly sneered, "No matter how talented Lin Yan is, he can't change his humble origins. He even treats the garbage in the Garbage Mountain as treasure. It's ridiculous that he stayed in the Garbage Mountain for three years."

This was just something he kept to himself; he certainly couldn't say it to the people present.

The King Yan Zhu laughed and said, "What treasures could Garbage Mountain possibly hold?"

"Too."

The others shared a similar view. They were in charge of transactions in the Wu Long Star Domain, so they understood that even if Lin Yan spent a hundred years scavenging in the Garbage Mountain, finding an item worth ten thousand Hun Yuan Units would be an impossible task.

For someone of Lin Yan's status, tens of ten thousand Hun Yuan Units are nothing to mention. Even if it were a hundred thousand Hun Yuan Unit, what difference would it make?

The Domain Lord stage is an important stage of cultivation. Shopping on the Garbage Mountain is just for fun, and it's not worth spending too much time on it.

King Long Jue, also from the Virtual Universe Company, spoke up for Lin Yan.

"After all, he was in Chaos City and the Original Secret Realm before. To make such rapid progress, he must have devoted his time and energy to cultivation. Now that he's been released to the outside world, he probably wants to relax and unwind."

"Once he reaches the World Lord level, he will have to undergo Life and Death Hone, and he will face many dangers at that time. Then he will no longer have such an opportunity."

King Yan Zhu thought to himself, "No matter how good one's talent is, I don't know if one can survive the Life and Death Hone."

Throughout history, countless Super genius have perished in the Life and Death Hone, including even Ke Di, the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord.

Humans know that doing so is dangerous, yet they still send World Lord level geniuses to undergo Life and Death Hone.

Without going through trials and tribulations, one can never become a true strong person.

With Lin Yan's talent, he will inevitably face numerous threats from Alien Race, making this Life and Death Hone even more difficult.

He was thinking about it.

Suddenly--

King Long Jue's expression changed drastically. He abruptly stood up from his seat and shouted urgently, "I received an email from Lin Yan. He was assassinated by an insider in sector E27 of the Wu Long Star Domain. His current situation is unknown!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other four people in charge changed instantly.

King Da Nian cursed, "Which damned thing dares to cause trouble in the Wu Long Star Domain?"

This is their territory. Did Lin Yan get into trouble here, or was he assassinated by an insider?

Even the King Yan Zhu turned pale upon hearing this.

Although he desperately wanted Lin Yan to get into trouble, it didn't mean he could get into trouble here!

If this matter is truly investigated, the primary culprit will be their poor internal management, and the consequences will be far beyond what they can easily bear.

Dismissal is a minor matter.

He will likely be imprisoned in the Starfield Prison, and even his father cannot defy the human race's system in this matter!

"He has already issued an alarm, and the Universe Venerable is on his way. We must hurry!" King Long Jue said anxiously, his figure immediately transforming into a stream of light and flying out of the palace.

It's hard to say about others.

If Lin Yan were to get into trouble here, he would never have a chance to rise in the world again!

The others also rushed there in a hurry. They were just ordinary Feng Wang Immortal God who could not teleport, so they could only get there by spaceship.

The surrounding Universe Space is constantly collapsing.

"Boom!"

The Immortal God in white armor was violently shaken and flew backward. The powerful impact shattered the Universe Space once again, and the terrifying impact force directly leaked into the Space Interlayer through the shattered Space Rift.

"How is this possible?" The Immortal God stared intently ahead.

Whoosh!

Countless green branches stretched outwards wildly, reaching heights of millions of kilometers. A majestic divine tree, like a piece of emerald green jade, appeared in this endless starry sky. Its divine aura, even surpassing that of a star, made people tremble.

Even the endless debris around it was affected and turned into nothingness.

The Immortal God of light felt the sky-covering, sun-obscuring blue branches extending wildly, twisting and constricting around him.

Instantly!

A psychic weapon shaped like a double-layered, silver-blue curved blade flew out, covered with numerous intricate runes that seemed to sever one's very soul.

"Boom!"

The silver-blue scimitar emitted a dazzling light, violently blasting the surrounding green branches, disrupting the Time Flow Rate.

This move contains the complete Law of Light and a portion of the Time Law, creating a time effect that can easily purify Annihilation annihilate an ordinary Immortal God.

However, when the blade was struck on the green branch, it only caused some branches to tear open with cracks several meters deep, and then the branches quickly recovered.

"Tai Sui Tree Spirit, at least Tai Sui Tree Spirit at the Peak Feng Hou!" the Immortal God of light roared in his heart. "How could a mere Domain Lord, no matter how much humans value him, possess such a high-level Plant Lifeform!"

At this time.

Lin Yan hid deep within the wreckage of distant stars, using detection equipment to shield his own information, cursing inwardly. "I thought you guys could have come up with something after nearly three years, but all you sent out was this piece of trash?"

Lin Yan was actually quite nervous, thinking that this Alien Race hadn't made a move for three years, and this time their attack was no small matter.

Later, it was discovered that this was merely a Feng Wang Immortal God...

After three years of delay, all they managed to do was send someone to Marquis?

Black guy with a question mark face.

Although a High-class Feng Hou Immortal God who has been granted the title of Marquis should be more than capable of dealing with a Domain Lord, do the Zerg really think that way?

With this level of strength, there's no need for anyone else to intervene; the Tai Sui Tree Spirit alone is more than capable of handling it.

Although the Tai Sui Tree Spirit is a defensive Plant Lifeform, no matter how defensive it is, it is still at the Peak Feng Hou, and its physical strength surpasses that of a human powerhouse at the Initial Feng Wang. In addition, with such a huge divine body, it is inherently a threat.

Desperately resisting the terrifying and endless onslaught of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit's branches and leaves, the Feng Wang Immortal God suddenly went somewhat mad. He was too anxious, and his divine power directly burned, just like a burning star. The powerful burning Divine Power directly scorched some of the surrounding branches and leaves.

Countless dazzling beams of light shot out from the silver-blue scimitar psychic weapon, striking the Tai Sui Tree Spirit directly.

He was indeed panicking. Carrying out a mission in a place like the Wu Long Star Domain meant being prepared to die, but he didn't even know where his target was. This idiot Number 6, did he even deserve to be an assassin?

In fact.

The detection equipment itself is an important means for Lin Yan to deal with assassination attempts. With such high-end detection equipment, once he hides and shields it, it is very difficult for anyone other than a Venerable to find his location. The opponent's actions are completely exposed by the detection equipment.

Even with someone secretly protecting him, Lin Yan still believed that relying on others was not a good thing; one should rely on oneself if possible.

Rumble...

The towering, azure-green tree roared angrily, its aura surging violently, its power increasing a hundredfold or a thousandfold. The entire Tree Crown trembled, and countless branches and leaves directly entwined around this High-class Feng Hou Immortal God!

Comparing the burning power of Plant Lifeform to that of burning Divine Power is a joke in itself.

Immediately--

"Kill!" The Feng Wang Immortal God could no longer think about anything else and engaged in a frenzied battle with the Tai Sui Tree Spirit.

Wow!

108 crystal-clear vines sprouted from his shoulders, surging forth. Each one was hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, constantly changing color like crystal: gold, silver, purple, black, green, blue... The colors changed, and his enormous body constantly stirred the starry sky.

Rumble!

The 108 main vines, resembling giant serpents of the starry sky, frantically bombarded the surrounding starry sky. He had no other choice but to use this method to Destruction all the surrounding matter in order to find or kill the mission target.

At this point, he could no longer care about the mission's requirement of "Soul Control".

All he knew was that time was running out, and if he found it, with his Soul Secret Technique after burning Divine Power, Soul Control would be as easy as a thought.

Even a kill is better than doing nothing.

Endless debris was shattered into fragments by the bombardment of the crystal vines, flying everywhere before finally vanishing into nothingness.

A massive rift tore open in Universe Space, and layers of Space Fragments formed Space Turbulence.

At this moment—

"Boom..."

Ripples spread across the starry sky, and a powerful pressure suddenly descended, as if a divine dragon had descended to oppress countless ants. That pressure, which left no one with any power to resist, instantly spread throughout the star field.

This moment!

Whether it was the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, the Feng Wang Immortal God, or the crystal vine Plant Lifeform, the power they unleashed was suppressed. Even if they burning Divine Power, they could only prostrate themselves under this oppressive force.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away in the starry sky, a figure appeared out of nowhere at the location where the spherical monitoring instrument had been.

He was over ten meters tall and wore a strange battle armor that looked complicated. The armor was purplish-black and had mysterious patterns covering the entire armor, giving it an aura that could make the Universe Space tremble. His high-top battle boots were the most eye-catching.

Looking at these combat boots gives me a suffocating feeling, like looking at an endless mountain range.

Standing in the starry sky, he is the ruler!

Beneath the strange helmet of that Great Existence, a pair of dark red eyes looked into the arena, filled with rage and killing intent. The Feng Wang Immortal God felt a piercing pain in his soul and immediately lost consciousness.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan, who was hiding in the wreckage, suddenly felt the space around his body change. When he looked up again, he saw the tall figure in front of him.

He was quite adept at the task, even bowing respectfully and saying, "Greetings, Universe Venerable!"

Lin Yan has met quite a few Universe Venerable.

"You are Lin Yan?" The booming voice echoed in the universe and also reverberated in Lin Yan's mind.

"Yes," Lin Yan replied respectfully.

The Universe Venerable's expression immediately relaxed considerably as he looked down at the loud young man before him. The Wu Long Star Domain Alert System had previously sent him a message, instructing him to take immediate action, and had also relayed Lin Yan's message to him.

He didn't waste a single moment.

If such a genius were to get into trouble right under his nose, he would lose face when he encounters other Universe Venerable in the future.

Fortunately, this little guy does have some tricks up his sleeve.

Whether it's Plant Lifeform at the Peak Feng Hou or those two detectors, even among the Feng Wang Immortal God, only a very few can afford them.

"Tell me the details of what happened here." The Universe Venerable explained in a rather gentle tone, "I am responsible for monitoring and killing, and I am stationed in the Wu Long Star Domain. Every time I am dispatched, I need to record the details of the incident and send them to the Wu Long Star Domain's alert management system."

"Other matters will be discussed and decided by the other five King-level Immortal God."

Lin Yan then explained the whole story in detail, and there was nothing he couldn't tell anyone.

Just then...

Ripples spread across the distant space, and moments later, a spaceship appeared out of thin air.

Wow!

The hatch opened.

The five leaders, along with Gate, arrived in an instant, transforming into a streak of light.

"Your Excellency." King Long Jue and the others bowed respectfully.

Gate also bowed.

"I'll leave this matter to the five of you. I've already submitted everything Lin Yan said and my judgment to the Wu Long Star Domain System AI," the Universe Venerable said, before his figure vanished into thin air, disappearing from sight in an instant.

The five people in charge were finally relieved to see that Lin Yan was safe and sound.

Gate quickly went to Lin Yan's side, his tone tinged with self-reproach. "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Lin Yan looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile.

The towering tree rapidly shrank and merged into Lin Yan's body. He said, "Fortunately, I was prepared in advance."

The officials exchanged glances.

Aside from the King Yan Zhu, no other Plant Lifeform at the Peak Feng Hou can be cultivated...

How come this guy is so rich?

King Long Jue said, "Your Highness, this matter is due to our inadequate internal supervision in the Wu Long Star Domain, which led to the infiltration of Alien Race spies. It is our dereliction of duty."

Everyone else apologized repeatedly, saying that the matter could be serious or minor, and that they were indeed in the wrong.

"King Long Jue, what is the name of that Internal Member? Have you found out?" Lin Yan asked, showing no sign of blaming him.

"It's Kosir, a member of the Wulong Starfield," King Longjue said.

Lin Yan nodded, then frowned slightly. "I've been here for almost three years, and he only just started his operation. This Feng Wang Immortal God must have infiltrated recently. Not just anyone can enter the Wu Long Star Domain."

He was implying something.

King Long Jue immediately understood Lin Yan's meaning and nodded, saying, "We will investigate this matter immediately and make sure to get to the bottom of it and give Your Highness an explanation!"

And at this moment.

A magnificent and vast divine realm.

The highest level of the temple.

"It's a failure." A soft voice echoed throughout the hall. "Why let such a good opportunity slip by?"

She was somewhat puzzled.

"A good opportunity, but what makes it good?"

The silver-haired Golden Eye man asked coldly, "On the surface, it's said that Immortal God are forbidden from entering the Wu Long Star Domain, but a Universe Venerable level being could arrive at any time. In reality, we are the ones who are truly at a disadvantage."

"There's no need to make such a big sacrifice," the soft voice said.

"A Feng Wang Immortal God was just a former servant of mine, nothing special," the silver-haired Golden Eye man sneered. "A High-class Feng Hou Immortal God, working with an Initial Feng Hou Plant Lifeform, failed to assassinate a Domain Lord. That just proves my idea was correct."

"Every action we take within the territory of the human Universe Country comes at a huge cost, so our principle has always been... to succeed the first time, and we will not continue to take action against it if we fail."

"That's exactly right. I want them to think that we don't have a strong will to take action now, and that the Outer Domain Battlefield is a more suitable time."

The silver-haired Golden Eye man slowly said, "He has only just been released from his domain as a lord, so we must be on guard now. The most dangerous moment will come when he relaxes his guard even slightly."

Two weeks later.

Lin Yan and Gate boarded the Emperor Ship and left the Wu Long Star Domain, heading to the Ganwu Universe Country.

Lin Yan ordered, "Pass through Fengtian Star, take the Guard Army with you, and then head to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"

"Yes, Master," Wind Queen replied.

"Is Your Highness going back to your hometown?" Gate asked curiously.

"I suppose so," Lin Yan said with a smile. "There are indeed some things there that haven't been dealt with."

After a brief chat, Lin Yan returned to his rest cabin.

Lying on the bed in the rest pod, looking at the decorations above his head, he couldn't help but smile, "I wonder who arranged this assassination. They really helped me a lot."

He gained a great deal from this trip to the Wu Long Star Domain.

The most important item is naturally the "Sacrifice Secret Pattern" Inheritance Item. The second most important item is not the "Feather Snail Sky Gold," although it is far less valuable than the "Feather Snail Sky Gold," it is of greater use to Lin Yan.

With a thought, he entered A World within the World Ring.

Now.

He looked down at the crystal-like Plant Lifeform stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers below, but now it was in a strange frozen state, with a layer of ice crystals directly condensed on the surface of the main vine leaves.

Like a giant ice sculpture, it remained motionless, seemingly dead, with only faint, very weak energy fluctuations hinting at its vitality.

A hint of excitement flickered in Lin Yan's eyes.

108 main vines, the Immortal Mo Yun Vine!
