Lord Husky's Ransom!

Even after discovering that Lin Yan could revive at will after Self-destruct, they, as the Universe's Strongest, remained confident in their own strength.

But none of them could have imagined... that they would lose to Lin Yan in terms of speed bursts, which were extremely limited by the Primordial Universe.

This left them feeling utterly defeated.

Perhaps the difference in time is minimal, but it was enough for Lin Yan to successfully leave the Space Lock area. Their last and only chance to turn the tide—the speed advantage—was simply nonexistent.

Ancestor Zhen Yao and Ancestor Meng Yao, the two patriarchs of the Demon Race, sat in the starry sky, their hearts filled with anger, resentment, and shame. A campaign launched to eliminate future threats had instead caused unprecedented losses to the Demon Race Alliance.

"How could a Universe Venerable be so monstrous?" Ancestor Meng Yao his voice, "There are indeed some Defying Heaven Special Lifeform in the universe that possess all sorts of incredible abilities... but their Material Defense is so strong that we can hardly cause them any harm, and their speed bursts even surpass the flying secret techniques of the Universe's Strongest. Universe Venerable can unleash ten thousand times the divine power of a Universe Lord. Even if they are Special Lifeform, there is no reason for them to be so terrifying!"

"And the most bizarre thing is this! How could a god's body, which completely Self-destruct, possibly recover without any effect on him? How could a true ' Undying Body exist in the universe!"

"Including the previous two Reincarnation Era, I've never heard of it," Ancestor Zhen Yao said in a low voice. "On the contrary, the Material Defense is the easiest to understand. As for the others, they are simply inexplicable."

"Either he is Special Lifeform beyond our comprehension, or he has some kind of Special Encounters," said the Zerg Empress. "As for 'Undying Body'... I tend to think that Lin Yan has the Clone Talent, carrying a Super Divine Body clone with him to supply divine power. This is a relatively reasonable explanation, but there are still some puzzling aspects."

"Perhaps it's the result of combining other talents. These things are hard to guess. That human has too many secrets... No matter how strong that madman 'Yuan' was back then, at least we could see where his strength lay. But Lin Yan, I can't see through him."

The Zerg Empress shook her head. "The only thing that can be confirmed is that, according to the Primordial Universe's timeline, Lin Yan was only born more than 100,000 years ago. In such a short period of time, what kind of Special Encounters could have turned him into such a monster?"

She seemed somewhat disheartened.

While the Zerg Empress also found this result difficult to accept, her mindset was much better than that of the Demon Race and Mechanical race.

After all, among the Four Great Peak Races, the Zerg's true members are limited to the "Zerg Mother Queen," and their numbers are extremely small.

Even if Lin Yan becomes the second Primordial Ancestor, the result will simply be that the human race becomes stronger and seizes the living territory of other races. The Zerg have a lower need in this regard, and with the Ultimate Supreme Treasure "Empress's Palace" and Small Universe, the impact they will undoubtedly be the least.

"A clone?"

The Ancestor Meng Yao and the Ancestor Zhen Yao exchanged a glance. If Lin Yan really possessed the Clone Talent, then his survival ability would undoubtedly be even more beyond their imagination.

"In the entire Primordial Universe, there are only so many Universe's Strongest. Even the three of us working together couldn't stop him. Whether it's an avatar or not, it's impossible to kill Lin Yan in the Primordial Universe. This is a conclusion we've personally proven, even though the price we paid was terrible," the Zerg Empress said softly.

"But the losses my clan suffered this time..." There was resentment in the eyes of the Ancestor Meng Yao.

During this siege, Lin Yan suppressed and sealed the Lord Tian Lang, and also killed four other Universe Lords.

They are respectively the Lord of Demon Nightmare of the Demon Race Alliance, the Zhuo Yue Master and the Lord Ji Han of the Zerg Alliance, and the Lord Jin Suo of the Mechanical race Alliance.

Among them, only the Lord Ji Han possesses an avatar, and this Lord Ji Han is comparable to the original divine body. Restoring this divine body requires a huge price. In addition, most of the other five universe lords who were fortunate enough to Escape Alive were also severely injured.

The Demon Race suffered the greatest losses, as the Lord of Demon Nightmare and the Lord Tian Lang were both top-tier universe lords within the Demon Race!

"Only in the Cosmic Sea might there be a way to kill Lin Yan," Ancestor Zhen Yao said in a low voice. "But the Cosmic Sea is incredibly vast, and there is no Divine Kingdom Teleportation, so the transmission of information is also not smooth. Once we get there, it will be very, very difficult, almost impossible for us to find him."

The three Universe's Strongest remained somewhat silent.

"Let's wait. His strength has already reached this level, and there are very few places in the Primordial Universe where he can improve. It won't be long before he heads to the Cosmic Sea." The Ancestor Meng Yao had no choice but to accept reality. "With his sharp edge, sooner or later he will arouse the fear of the Divine Eye Clan, the Skeleton Clan, and even the two major Holy Land Universes. I'm afraid he won't have a good ending."

For the Universe's Strongest, this is practically a form of mental victory.

But at that moment, no one could think of any other possibilities.

Boom! Boom!

The figures of Ancestor Meng Yao and Ancestor Zhen Yao accelerated instantly, and disappeared into the starry sky as soon as they reached the speed of light.

"They gained fame by trampling on our Three-Race Alliance. This time, the Primordial Universe is truly going to be turned upside down." The Zerg Empress shook her head, released the Empress's Palace, teleported several times, and then quickly returned to the Zerg Territory.

The Demon Race territory, the Demon Ancestor Secret Realm.

"Demon Ancestor, save me! Find a way to get me out of here!" The Divine Power Clone of the Lord Tian Lang prostrated himself there, whimpering and howling, pleading for help from the two avatars of the Ancestor Meng Yao and the Ancestor Zhen Yao.

When he was first suppressed and sealed by Lin Yan, the Lord Tian Lang was not too afraid.

Because the two demon ancestors revealed information to him, with the luxurious lineup of three of the Universe's Strongest, Lin Yan was obviously doomed to die. When that time came, the supreme Sealing Supreme Treasure "Ice Mountain Hall," would fall into the hands of the demon ancestors, and they would naturally be able to release him.

But... things gradually started to go wrong.

He even witnessed the shattering of the Lord of Demon Nightmare's Divine Power Clone, the ancestor of the "Time-Space Nightmare Beast," one of the Demon Race Royal Family, being killed by Lin Yan!

In the end, even the three Universe's Strongest failed to defeat Lin Yan, Lord Tian Lang was truly panicked.

Sky.

Who plays like that?

This is only the Original Universe Era. He can live for at least two Reincarnation Era. How can a little guy who was World Master tens of thousands of years ago now make two demon ancestors helpless?

"Neither Ancestor Meng Yao nor I can do anything about it," the avatar of Ancestor Zhen Yao said in a low voice. "Lin Yan has successfully escaped. He will definitely take you to that Initial Universe. In the Initial Universe, he can easily kill you with the power of the Initial Universe's origin. Neither Ancestor Meng Yao nor I expected... that Lin Yan's strength would be so great."

The two avatars of the Demon Ancestors looked at the Lord Tian Lang and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, after all, this was also a mistake in their decision.

Even Ancestor Zhen Yao was too embarrassed to say that if it weren't for the Heavenly Wolf Hall, Lin Yan wouldn't have needed to be brought to the Initial Universe; he could have killed the Lord Tian Lang in one move.

"The Demon Ancestor..."

The Lord Tian Lang wept, looking utterly miserable.

"Fortunately, the Giant Axe of the human race do not follow the Soul Path like the Primordial Ancestor, Sky Wolf you don't need to worry too much about being Soul Control." The Ancestor Meng Yao looked at Sky Wolf with some reluctance, "Why don't you ask Lin Yan what conditions he would give for you to be released?"

The Ancestor Meng Yao knew that doing so would definitely give the human Lin Yan all the benefits, but there was no other way now that things had come to this.

"Thank you, Demon Ancestor!"

The Lord Tian Lang raised his head, and a renewed hope for life rekindled in his deep blue eyes.

In the Initial Universe, within the Chaos City.

Inside the main hall of the City Lord's Palace, the cosmic lords of the human race gathered here, all feeling incredibly joyful and excited.

"Hahaha..." The Great Axe Founder laughed, "You didn't see it. Back then, the Mechanical Race Father God used his Puppet Legion to besiege me. He was feeling relaxed and carefree at first, but suddenly he became furious. Haha, I guessed that the Mechanical race must have suffered a great loss. Sure enough, a Mechanical race Universe Lord fell."

"Although the Lord Jin Suo was not very strong, he was the newly promoted Universe Lord of the Mechanical race and was highly regarded by the Mechanical Race Father God. The reason he was sent this time was probably because he wanted to broaden his horizons, but he ended up falling directly." The Chaos City Lord laughed, "This time, the three major alliances are probably too late to cry."

"My God, Lin Yan, how did you do that?"

"When I heard this news, I couldn't believe it. Three of the Universe's Strongest! Even the combined efforts of three of the Universe's Strongest couldn't do anything to Lin Yan, and four universe lords were even killed. This is too terrifying."

Inside the main hall.

The Lord of Dragon Walk, the Lord Qing Dong, the Lord Huang Jian, the Lord of Ice Peak, and others all looked at Lin Yan with strange eyes.

When they first received the news, they thought Lin Yan went to the Original Star to take a clone and die so that the three major races would back down. They weren't too worried about it. But when they received the email from the Chaos City Lord, they couldn't believe their eyes.

The shock of that experience still leaves them deeply moved.

This is a sure-fire way to die!

Even in Chaos, there would be no chance in such a situation, but Lin Yan did the almost impossible.

"Lin Yan has the Green Line Devouring Worm clone off to supply divine power, creating a method similar to the 'Lord of Nine Nether' of the Ancestor God Cult. He can unleash Self-destruct attack that is close to the sixth rank, and he does not have the flaws of the Lord of Nine Nether. He can now be considered the second strongest among our human race!" The Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

The second strongest among humankind!

This position originally belonged to the Chaos City Lord, but the Chaos City Lord didn't care about this empty title. The Lin Yan, the happier he was, which meant that the human race was becoming more and more prosperous.

The Great Axe Founder glanced at the Chaos City Lord with a smile and said, "Even Chaos says so, then Lin Yan is not just the second strongest among the human race. Looking at the universe, he can be considered the number one person below the Universe's Strongest!"

Many cosmic rulers couldn't help but hold their breath.

But there is no disagreement on this point.

It should be noted that Lin Yan's Green Line Devouring Worm clone does not have the "Annihilation" talent, and its normal attack ability is much weaker. However, this Self-destruct attack can still be used, but it cannot be stacked because the consciousness is scattered, so the "Final Descent" move cannot be used.

"Sharp!"

"Admire!"

"Our human race has truly triumphed this time." Lord Qing Dong, Lord Huang Jian, and others praised, and their perception of Lin Yan had also changed.

Status is earned through strength!

Having the strength of the Universe's Strongest, one will naturally have a status commensurate with that of the Universe's Strongest.

You must know why the Lord of Nine Nether is so terrifying.

It's because the Lord of Nine Nether dares to use his Strongest Secret Technique to fight to the death every time! Even if Self-destruct, a new Lord of Nine Nether will appear in the blink of an eye. And even if the opponent has Talent Clone for creating clones, the cost of recovering from the loss of a powerful divine body is extremely high, making the Lord of Nine Nether an extremely troublesome existence in the universe.

Lin Yan once said that he had Special Life Clone similar to the "World Tree". Although it was certainly far inferior to the Sea of Nine Nether, which was more than ten light-years away, it was still able to withstand the consumption of divine power when combined with extremely high-level Origin Supreme Treasure. No matter how much it was consumed, it could not keep up with the speed of recovery, which was enough to make the strong despair.

Moreover, being able to escape from the siege of the Universe's Strongest must mean that he had other means of survival.

"My Destruction Explosion power doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. If I have any reservations at certain times, it's not easy to unleash. Although it's powerful, it still has flaws. It's not as easy to control as Senior Brother Chaos's power," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"But the threat to the enemy is far greater than mine." The Chaos City Lord smiled. "Once news of this battle spreads, the other super-strong beings in the universe will naturally understand its significance. In the Primordial Universe, Junior Brother Lin Yan's threat is even greater than that of the Universe's Strongest!"

"After all, the Universe's Strongest would be severely punished for killing the Lord of the Universe. Junior Brother Lin Yan can not only kill him, but also without any consequences."

Giant Axe laughed heartily, "Good, now we will spread this news quickly through the countless intelligence networks that span the entire Primordial Universe via the Virtual Universe. With Lin Yan's achievement, the status of our human race will be even more secure."

"Good."

"The Three-Race Alliance has launched such a large-scale siege to kill my human genius. Once the news spreads, they will reap what they sow!"

The human race was furious at the arrogance displayed by the Three-Race Alliance in this encirclement and suppression.

"There's one more thing." Lin Yan looked around at the various universe lords, and the Ice Mountain Hall appeared in his hand. "The Lord Tian Lang has been suppressed and sealed by me, and I still don't know what to do with him."

"This is the Initial Universe, so it's easy to destroy it. However, the best way to deal with it is naturally through Soul Enslavement," said the Great Axe Founder. "But the more Super Existence, the harder it is to enslave. The divine power and soul of the universe lord are extremely powerful. Although there are examples of soul control, they are all the Universe's Strongest are skilled in soul control. There has never been a case of 'universe lord controlling universe lord with his soul.' Even if I were to take action, Sky Wolf might be able to control himself Self-destruct- destruct."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

He knew that.

The stronger the opponent, the harder it is to knock them into a deep sleep.

For King level Immortal, their divine bodies usually fall into slumber when they lose a little over 10% of their original strength. However, the will of the Universe Overlord is incredibly powerful. It would probably take until they are reduced to only 1% before they could fall into slumber instantly.

As for the Lord of the Universe, even if only 1% remains, he would probably still be able to maintain a moment of clarity, preferring to Self-destruct rather than be permanently enslaved.

"If we use the origin of the Initial Universe to Destruction a large number of the Lord Tian Lang's divine bodies, you should be able to enslave him with the Giant Axe, right?" Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Although restoring divine bodies requires a great price, I do have some methods."

The Ancestor Tree clone possess the ability to convert the Power of Faith and restore the divine bodies of others.

Unfortunately, his breakthrough time was too short, and he didn't have the energy to study the Path of the Soul after the breakthrough. His will and divine power had no advantage over the Lord Tian Lang, so the probability of success was extremely low. Otherwise, Lin Yan would have tried it himself.

"No." The Great Axe Founder shook his head and laughed, "Our human race does not lack a peak-level Demon Race Universe Master servant. The most important thing is your strength, Lin Yan. If you can break through to the Universe Lord level, why would we care about this Lord Tian Lang?"

"It would be better to use him to demand ransom from the Demon Race. If the Demon Race refuses to pay, then we can discuss it further."

In truth, he was quite confident that he could be enslaved by the Giant Axe, after all, the will of the Lord Tian Lang was far inferior to his own, but the Giant Axe didn't care about that.

He has supported the human race for countless years, enduring many hardships. Lin Yan's strength and potential are evident to all, and we are more willing to take this opportunity to let Lin Yan gain benefits and grow faster.

The Chaos City Lord pondered for a moment, "Hmm, if we could get the Demon Race to produce a supreme Supreme Treasure of the Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, Junior Brother Lin Yan's safety when he ventures into the Cosmic Sea in the future would be much higher."

"Lin Yan, what do you mean?" the Great Axe Founder asked.

"I have no objection." Lin Yan nodded.

The Lord Tian Lang entered the realm of the Universe Lord at the very beginning of the Primordial Universe, but he is still only at the third rank, not even at the top of the third rank. He is a Universe Lord with little potential, and returning him to the Demon Race would not have much impact.

If it were the three Tier 5 Universe Masters had the potential to break through to become the Universe's Strongest —the "Lord of Forbidden Annihilation," the "Lord of Blood Chisel," and the "Lord Chang Jiu"—it would naturally be impossible.

Lin Yan only has the Jun Tian Face Armor as Peak Soul Supreme Treasure, and he does need other treasures of the same level, especially Palace-type. He can't just use the high-grade Palace-type Heavenly Wolf Hall to show off, he really doesn't care about that.

"Alright, then let's see what those two demon ancestors think." The Chaos City Lord laughed. "Although the Demon Race has the most Universe Lords among all races in the Primordial Universe, exceeding 20, losing Lord Tian Lang won't have a significant impact, but they should still agree."

"After all, they have two of the Universe's Strongest, and their treasures, which are at the Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, are much more abundant than the accumulation of our human race."

While the human race demanded ransom from the Demon Race Alliance, a message, facilitated by the human race, also spread widely throughout the universe—

The Demon Race Ancestor Meng Yao and the Ancestor Zhen Yao of the Zerg, three of the Universe's Strongest, led a team of universe masters to join forces in besieging Lin Yan, a member of the human race.

In this battle, Lin Yan was isolated and without support.

After this battle, the Three-Race Alliance lost five Universe Lords, but Lin Yan was completely unharmed!

He rose to fame in one battle! The world was astonished!
