Crisis!
Mengyou Empire Imperial Capital Star.
The Imperial Capital Star, as the economic and political center of the Mengyou Empire, is where the highest-ranking nobles and powerful figures in the entire Universe Country gather.
Today is a very special day.
Because an extremely distinguished guest had arrived at the Imperial Capital Star, Yao Hai, the ancestor of the royal family of the Mengyou Empire, held a grand and high-level court banquet in the palace to entertain this distinguished guest!
Those qualified to attend the banquet are the highest echelons of the Mengyou Empire.
Inside the banquet hall.
"Second Princess, I heard that the immortal being who came to our Mengyou Empire this time is a big shot from the Ganwu Universe Country." A beautiful woman in a purple suit was holding a wine glass and chatting quietly with a beautiful woman with blue hair in a corner of the banquet hall. "That's why even our clan ancestor came personally to entertain him."
"The clan ancestor is hosting us, so the visitor must be Immortal God." Princess Green Hair's eyes shone. "I've never seen Immortal God from the Universe Country before."
"You'll see it soon, Princess," the beautiful woman said with a smile.
The members of the imperial high-ranking noble families who arrived early whispered among themselves, their discussions ongoing.
At this moment—
"The Divine Lord has arrived!" A magnificent voice resounded throughout the resplendent banquet hall.
Moment.
The banquet hall, which had been filled with noise and discussion, fell completely silent in an instant. The elite members of the royal family and the powerful figures of the entire Mengyou Empire waited there in silence.
Three figures emerged one after another from the side door of the banquet hall.
An invisible fluctuation of immortal laws permeated the banquet hall, causing the upper echelons of the Mengyou Empire present to tremble.
"Greetings, Divine Lord!"
One of the World Master was the first to kneel down.
Immediately, everyone in the banquet hall knelt down and shouted, "Greetings, Divine Lord!"
The sound echoed in the banquet hall.
Standing on the high platform of the banquet hall was a seemingly simple and youthful boy. He wore Green Battle Armor, had handsome features, and a strange crystal was embedded in his forehead. At first glance, he would just look like a boy next door.
But this was the founding emperor of the Mengyou Empire, and the ancestor of the Yao Hai Family!
Yao Hai!
That Immortal God who holds the highest power in the Mengyou Empire!
"I'm very happy today," Yao Hai said with a smile, his voice echoing throughout the banquet hall.
Two other immortal gods stood beside him. One of them was a burly man, the second most powerful figure in the Mengyou Empire, Yao Hai's disciple— the Immortal God Jeffries!
Another person was dressed in a magnificent dark gold robe, with long, snow-white hair and a smiling face; he was as dazzling as the sun.
"I Yao Hai, am deeply honored that Lord Long Chi'er of the Universe Country has graced our Mengyou Empire with his presence!" Yao Hai looked down, his majestic voice carrying a hint of joy.
Beside him, an elderly man with white hair in a dark gold robe nodded slightly with a smile on his face.
Long Chi'er was a trusted minister of the Qianwu Country Lord and a Marquis-level Immortal God. Since he came to the Mengyou Empire, Yao Hai naturally had to personally welcome and accompany him.
In fact...
He came here because of a transfer order from Virtual Universe Company!
In just over a day, the intelligence department had arranged everything, all for the purpose of getting Yao Hai to leave the Divine Kingdom obediently and deliver this crucial intelligence to Lin Yan!
In the Dark Universe.
The Emperor led the Cosmic Army swiftly toward the Imperial Capital Star.
Even though the speed of the interstellar warship in the Dark Universe is not high, it is only about 1,200 light-years away from the Imperial Capital Star of the Mengyou Empire. Therefore, by Cosmic Shuttle, it would only take less than an hour to reach the Imperial Capital Star directly!
Inside the control room.
There are only five people here.
Lin Yan, the Immortal God guard Gate, the leader of the Tawen Department action team, Si Fanqi and his disciple "Kashna", and the commander of the Ninth Group Army, "Ninth Army Lord".
Lin Yan stood there, suddenly remembering something. "Ninth Army Lord, have you completed the task of capturing the three World Master I asked you to do?"
In Lin Yan's mission, one of the requirements that accounts for 55% of the mission completion is that he must personally kill four World Masters!
Of the four World Master targets, the World Lord Tier 8 powerhouse "Kui" is the personal disciple of the Immortal God Jeffries and is currently on the Imperial Capital Star. The other three are on other planets. Therefore, Lin Yan directly arranged for the powerhouses of the Ninth Legion to capture the three World Master alive.
The Virtual Universe System is entirely under their control and will not be affected in any way.
"Your Highness."
The Ninth Army Lord bowed respectfully to Lin Yan: "As you instructed, we have already captured those three World Masters in advance, and they are now A World I am carrying. What should we do with them?"
He was somewhat puzzled, wondering what the significance of Lin Yan's arrangement was.
Are there anything special about these three World Masters?
Lin Yan nodded slightly. "Take it out."
"Yes." The tall, thin man bowed slightly and looked at the huge open space in the hall. Three dark red boxes appeared out of thin air, each three meters long, wide, and high, and made entirely of E9-class alloy. As soon as the three boxes appeared, they shot straight into the sky.
"Hmph!" The Ninth Army Lord snorted coldly, and his immortal power spread out, directly pressing and binding the three boxes.
Lin Yan said, "Open these three boxes."
"I'll do it." Elder Si Fanqi didn't understand what Lin Yan meant, but considering the need to prevent these three powerful World Master lords from harming Lin Yan, he still said it.
"Mm." Lin Yan nodded slightly.
Si Fanqi coldly looked at the three boxes, easily manipulating space to trap them. At the same time, an invisible immortal power swiftly opened the three alloy boxes, revealing three World Masters.
"Roar..."
Who are you people?!
Why are you arresting me?
When the three of them first came out, they were quite aggressive and struggled a bit, but this was the Space Restraint of King-level Immortal God, how could they possibly break free?
When they sensed the powerful aura of the group before them and confirmed that most of them were Immortal God, a look of fear immediately appeared on their faces.
"I'll give you a chance." Lin Yan stepped forward and looked at them.
"I will fight you fairly. If I cannot kill you, you can live." Lin Yan's gaze turned cold. "Otherwise, I will personally send you to hell."
"Want to fight you?"
Li Tuo, Kati, and Lei Bu, the three World Masters, stared in astonishment at the Domain Lord level 9 youth before them.
"Are you Lin Yan?"
"Lin Yan, the one who won first place in the Genius Battle?"
"You mean, you want us to fight you, and as long as we don't die, we can live? Is that true?"
The three of them had already given up hope when they saw a group of Immortal God, but their eyes lit up when they heard Lin Yan's words.
It should be noted that one of them is World Lord ninth stage, while the other two are seventh and eighth-level respectively. Even if the other party is the most outstanding genius in the universe, it is impossible for them to overcome such an astonishing energy level difference!
Let alone saving one's life, defeating or even killing the opponent is an incredibly simple matter.
"Your lives aren't worth me lying about," Lin Yan said coldly. "You can prepare yourselves; when the battle begins, I won't hold back."
"Great!" The three exchanged a glance, their eyes shining.
The Ninth Army Lord glared at them fiercely and quickly said, "Your Highness, these are opponents at the World Lord Level Seven stage. World Master can comprehend the laws extremely quickly. They have been at the World Master stage for so many years. In terms of Law Comprehension, even the worst among them is around the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge!"
"Especially that 'Li Tuo', who has comprehended both the Law of Fire and the Space Law. Overall, he is already close to the level of the Tenth Layer of the Tongtian Bridge, and his Law Comprehension is not far from that of an ordinary Immortal God!"
He advised, "Your Highness, the risk of fighting them personally is too great!"
"Ninth Army Lord, there's no need to worry." Lin Yan shook his head and smiled. "This is a mission given to me by the Virtual Universe Company. Including 'Kui' who is in the Imperial Capital Star, there are a total of four World Master experts, and I must personally kill them."
"Huh?" The Ninth Army Lord was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
He is a member of Virtual Universe Company and is quite familiar with the company's situation.
It's normal for the Virtual Universe Company to issue missions for them to kill enemies themselves, but... generally, the opponents assigned to members of the Original Secret Realm Domain Lord level will not exceed the third World Lord level!
Ninth- World Lord level?
How utterly inhuman and outrageous!
From a purely energy perspective...
World Lord ninth stage is thousands of times stronger than Domain Lord ninth stage!
Moreover, the Domain Lord ninth stage and the World Lord level One represent a significant leap. Once one reaches the World Lord level One, one possesses the World Power and A World, increasing their strength by more than tenfold!
Therefore, all things considered, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a difference in energy levels of more than two thousand times!
Even if Lin Yan's Law Comprehension is comparable to that of Marquis, he is still only Domain Lord level 9. The other party has stayed in the World Master stage for millions of years, and his Law Comprehension is not bad either. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for him to complete the mission!
The armored youth "Kashna" stared wide-eyed and scratched his head. Is this how humans cultivate geniuses?
He gasped.
This child is... terrifyingly powerful!
"To have Domain Lord ninth stage kill World Lord ninth stage, and this World Lord ninth stage is no pushover; his Law Comprehension is quite profound!" The Golden Armor elder Si Fanqi, changed his expression slightly and thought to himself, "Humans would actually assign such a terrifying task to their own race's peerless genius. Do they really think he can do it?"
He couldn't quite believe it.
This was completely beyond his imagination.
Not long after.
The Imperial Capital Star.
Wow!
Ripples seemed to spread across the starry sky as a jet-black triangular spaceship appeared first, followed by the Tawen Ship spaceship, and finally, a series of enormous interstellar warships, a dark mass gathered in space.
"Your Highness, that is the Imperial Capital Star of the Mengyou Empire." The Ninth Army Lord pointed ahead.
Lin Yan looked over.
Viewed from outer space, the Imperial Capital Star of the Mengyou Empire appears as if shrouded in a thin mist, its entire body faintly displaying a pale green hue.
"Okay." He nodded.
"What a beautiful planet," Elder Si Fanqi sighed. "It's a pity it will soon be engulfed in war."
This time, the goal is to kill Yao Hai, Marquis-level Immortal God, and Jeffries, High-ranking Immortal Army Lord. As Immortal God who can easily affect the entire planet... once the operation really begins, there is no doubt that the entire planet will be affected.
Lin Yan turned to look at the three powerful World Master, who were all waiting with solemn expressions.
He stepped forward and calmly said, "Let the battle begin. Let them fight together."
Si Fanqi's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "Your Highness!"
He originally thought that fighting them separately might have a slight chance, but to fight all three World Masters at the same time... that was absolutely impossible!
"Elder Si Fanqi, listen to Your Highness," Gate said.
Although he didn't know if Lin Yan could complete the mission, with Plant Lifeform form at the Peak Feng Hou protecting him, there was no way he would run into trouble.
Elder Si Fanqi glanced at the Yongluo Armor, which was enough to make him invincible, and nodded emphatically.
As long as nothing goes wrong, everything else is negotiable.
Boom!
Instantly, the original Space Restraint dissipated, and an invisible spatial barrier appeared, turning the 100-meter-long, wide, and high space inside the Si Fanqi into a spatial prison.
The old man in Golden Battle Armor spoke in a powerful voice, "Your Highness, I have set up a spatial barrier. Within this area lies the battle space between Your Highness and them."
Lin Yan nodded and instructed Wind Queen to activate the Virtual Universe Network for synchronous transmission.
"Your His Highness Lin Yan, you are far too arrogant." The three World Masters, now free to move around in the spatial prison, Li Tuo a glance with the other two and then sneered.
Lin Yan glanced at them calmly and said softly, "You are too weak."
"Is that so?" Li Tuo asked in return.
In an instant!
The surrounding space instantly changed.
The three World Master directly projected their Inner World, and the surging World Power formed endless flames, mixed with lightning, which rolled in the spatial prison and suddenly devoured Lin Yan.
Their faces were ferocious, their eyes flashing with murderous light, and they wielded weapons with movements as fast as lightning. In such a narrow space, Lin Yan had no chance to dodge.
Si Fanqi, the Ninth Army Lord, Gate, and Kashna all watched this scene with tension.
At this moment—
A dazzling golden sword light shot into the sky, seemingly tearing the heavens and earth apart!
Sizzle!
The strike, imbued with the Space Law and Time Law, caused a hole to appear in the Universe Space where the sword pointed. The golden sword light pierced the three World Master along this hole in an instant, too fast for them to react.
The three World Master suddenly froze.
Laugh!
In that instant.
The golden sword light dissipated, and countless golden threads burst forth in the surrounding space, directly engulfing the bodies of the three World Masters and turning them into nothingness.
The battle ended in the blink of an eye!
"How is this possible?" The armored youth's eyes widened, his body trembling slightly.
He was World Lord ninth stage, so he understood the difficulty of this battle even more. If it were him, he could defeat Li Tuo and the other two together, but it would still take some time.
It's impossible to be as relaxed and carefree as the other party.
"Is this really Domain Lord level 9?" he exclaimed in disbelief.
Si Fanqi disregarded his disciple's rudeness and looked at the young man wielding the Golden Ancient Sword in the arena, his heart filled with shock. "Shuttling Void, the sword light actually achieved 'teleportation', what kind of sword technique is this?"
With his level of understanding, he would naturally be able to see things more meticulously.
The moment Lin Yan's sword light appeared, it was as if it were a physical object, able to instantly Shuttling Void and reappear, just like "teleportation," without any Space Fluctuation, making it undetectable!
So the three World Master didn't even have time to react before they were killed.
This feeling is similar to the "Yan Shen Armament" of the Golden Horn Clan. The ninth level of the Yan Shen Armament, the "Yan God Golden Sword," allows for weapon teleportation, which is many times easier than physical teleportation.
However, this kind of "sword light teleportation" is something that Si Fanqi cannot understand.
And in the end, it even transformed into countless golden threads.
Those golden threads carry extremely powerful gravitational energy and possess terrifying destructive power!
Those present were all deeply moved by this scene, and even Gate had never truly witnessed Lin Yan's fighting prowess.
The battle is over.
Lin Yan, however, appeared nonchalant.
He sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and called out, "Elder Si Fanqi."
"Your Highness." Tawen Department Si Fanqi immediately snapped out of his daze, his expression becoming even more respectful as he listened attentively to the orders.
Now he was even more certain of just how terrifying this unparalleled human genius before him truly was!
This mission... is a great opportunity for the Golden Horn Clan!
"Later, you will lead the team to kill Yao Hai and Jeffries." Lin Yan looked at the beautiful pale green planet and said softly, "Try to control the scope of their impact as much as possible so that ordinary people can survive. Of course... the first target is to kill those two Immortal God."
"Understood." Elder Si Fanqi nodded.
Lin Yan nodded, his eyes gradually sharpening, and said coldly, "The 30th Army of the Ninth Legion, blockade the entire Imperial Capital Star from space. During the operation, any spaceships escaping from the Imperial Capital Star shall be destroyed!"
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
Thirty voices rang out almost simultaneously.
"Action!" Lin Yan gave the order.
Instantly!
The massive 30 interstellar warships that were originally surrounding the Emperor began to disperse, spreading out from outer space to surround the Imperial Capital Star, thus sealing off the entire outer space region of the Imperial Capital Star.
"Elder Si Fanqi, I wish you a successful mission." Lin Yan looked at Si Fanqi. "Remember to start a synchronized live broadcast with the Virtual Universe Network."
"Yes, Your Highness!" the old man in Golden Battle Armor replied respectfully, "Our Tawen Department's action team will certainly not fail in our mission!"
Whoosh!
The old man in Golden Battle Armor transformed into a phantom and swiftly flew out of the Emperor's cabin and into the adjacent Tawen Ship.
One King-level Immortal God and seven Marquis-level Immortal God quickly transformed into streaks of light and flew directly towards the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital Star.
Lin Yan's eyes were calm. "Wind Queen, activate the detection instruments to monitor the battle within the Imperial Capital Star and broadcast it remotely."
"Yes, Master," Wind Queen replied.
Lin Yan looked at the peaceful and beautiful planet, where 30 menacing interstellar warships seemed to be 30 satellites orbiting the Imperial Capital Star.
Wow!
The outdoor simulation began to change, and under Wind Queen's control, it transformed into a scene within the Imperial Capital Star.
Banquet hall.
Yao Hai and the white-haired old man Long Chi'er were having a pleasant conversation, with his disciple Jeffries sitting beside them.
Suddenly Jeffries' expression changed slightly.
He immediately whispered to Yao Hai, "Teacher, my three World Master servants have suddenly died at the same time!"
The three World Masters were all Soul Servant controlled by Jeffries based on the Zerg's Soul Codex. Their simultaneous death at this moment had a slight impact on his soul, and he immediately became alert.
Yao Hai frowned immediately.
If it were just one person, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the simultaneous deaths are naturally a bad sign.
Before he could think it through, he felt a powerful divine force sweep over them.
The young man in Green Battle Armor, Yao Hai, had icy eyes and shouted, "Insolence!"
Boom!
The power of immortality spread out rapidly, almost instantly bombarding the area outside the palace.
With his abilities, he easily discovered that three enormous auras of law were hidden above the imperial palace, which were none other than three Immortal God!
Yao Hai sneered, instantly transforming into a streak of green light that pierced through the ceiling of the banquet hall. The building materials of the banquet hall's ceiling seemed to be incinerated, turning into nothingness. The moment this green light broke through the banquet hall's roof—
A massive, entirely black Great Hammer, gleaming with blinding golden light, suddenly appeared in front of the green rainbow.
It was as if the surrounding space was completely enveloped, making one feel as if the sky had collapsed. That terrifying pressure left Yao Hai with no confidence to resist.
"Feng Wang level!!" The young man in the emerald green battle armor, Yao Hai, changed his expression drastically and screamed. At the same time, he swung his right fist, which looked as if he was wearing a mesh-like gauntlet.
The two collided instantly!
Before the impact, neither the black hammer nor Yao Hai's fist caused the slightest other fluctuation, clearly indicating an incredibly concentrated energy. But at the moment of contact—
"Boom..."
The moment the fist and the black hammer collided, it was as if a dazzling sun was born. The terrifying High Temperature generated by the impact alone would Space Twist!
The shockwave generated by the collision of the incomparably powerful immortal forces instantly destroyed the banquet hall below... The imperial nobles and royal elites screamed in terror as they were swept away by the aftershocks of the powerful immortal forces.
It may turn to ashes or pierce through the body.
In that instant.
The palace covers an area of three thousand kilometers.
The residents of the Imperial Capital Star outside the palace suddenly noticed... an eerie silence within the palace, as if even the sound of the wind had been completely cut off.
"Boom!"
Immediately following, the entire palace exploded violently, and all the buildings were instantly reduced to ruins as the shockwave spread!
"Look, the palace has exploded."
"The palace, ah!"
Many residents of the Imperial Capital Star were completely stunned when they witnessed that nightmarish scene and felt the ground beneath their feet tremble.
In outer space of the Imperial Capital Star, the Emperor is hovering in the starry sky.
But at this moment!
The blinding red light inside the control room flickered violently.
Lin Yan's eyes were sharp as he stared intently ahead. The outdoor simulation was no longer the scene inside the Imperial Capital Star, but the starry sky outside.
Or rather, the person in the starry sky.
He has silver hair Golden Eye!
Clad in a magnificent black robe, he exuded a powerful aura of law, causing the surrounding space to subtly distort and tremble.
At this moment, he coldly looked down at the pitch-black triangular spaceship in front of him!
