The Strength of a King Immortal

The celebration lasted an entire day.

In the end, Tirlaf still failed to meet Zhou Lin. His eagerness to associate with the Zhou Family had been for this very purpose.

Assassinating Zhou Lin on Imperial Capital Star was certainly unrealistic.

Unless a Universe Venerable acted personally, Venerable Luojin could descend upon Zhou Lin's estate and seal off all space in less than 0.01 seconds.

The more Zhou Lin thought about it, the more convinced he became that the other party was a spy. He was basically ninety percent certain.

His style was rather cautious. He would do his best to avoid the possibility of assassination and would not stupidly walk into danger knowing there was a risk.

Thus, being assassinated during the Domain Lord stage was almost impossible for Zhou Lin.

"What a pity Your Highness Zhou Lin did not return." Tirlaf was bidding farewell to the Zhou Family elders. "I shall visit again when I have the chance."

After an entire day of celebration, most of the clansmen had already left.

Only the upper echelons remained on the stage at the center of the plaza. The Zhou Family's grand elder warmly clasped Tirlaf's hands as he saw him off with fawning enthusiasm.

"Stupid, stupid." Seeing this, Zhou Lin immediately cursed himself inwardly twice. This flaw should have been obvious.

What was his Zhou Family worth?

Before Zhou Lin revealed his Immortal strength, at most they had the prospect of producing a future King. As a member of the imperial clan, why would Tirlaf deliberately curry favor with a family that might produce a future King?

Zhou Lin felt foolish for not noticing the flaw earlier.

But this was only because he had already considered Tirlaf a spy, making everything about him seem suspicious.

Many people sought to befriend those with potential in advance. Different positions led to completely different perspectives on the same matter.

Tirlaf was extremely easygoing. Only after bidding farewell to the many Zhou Family elders did he pilot his spacecraft into space.

"He needs sufficient distance to accelerate into Dark Universe."

King Jiufeng said coldly, "Judging by its appearance, this spacecraft is merely E-Class. It will not be very fast. I can teleport just as it is about to enter Dark Universe."

An Immortal could truly cross the universe with their physical body.

"Your Highness, you should enter my World Ring."

King Jiufeng said, "If they intend to assassinate you, they will likely have to dispatch a King Immortal. The aftermath of a battle at that level would be devastating."

The reason he intended to wait until the spacecraft entered Dark Universe was to get farther away from Yuechen Star.

Otherwise, even a trace of the aftermath from a battle between Kings would shatter Yuechen Star. During combat, affecting tens of millions of miles or even hundreds of millions of kilometers was commonplace.

"Sorry to trouble you." Zhou Lin and Aido entered King Jiufeng's World Ring together.

At this moment, Tirlaf's spacecraft had begun accelerating continuously and was about to reach light speed and enter Dark Universe.

"Master, there is a powerful expert tracking us from behind." A little boy appeared on the spacecraft screen. "What do we do? What do we do?"

Tirlaf reacted just as quickly. "Enter Dark Universe first. Accelerate and shake him off."

Although his spacecraft could only travel several times the speed of light, it was still far faster than ordinary Immortals. The acceleration process, however, would be rather lengthy.

"Damn it. Where did I expose myself?" Tirlaf began reviewing everything he had done. He had been enslaved for a very long time.

He had already been enslaved when Venerable Luojin had just become a Venerable.

Tirlaf was certain that he had never been involved in any power struggles within the Universe Country. He had always run an energy business.

On the surface, he was clean.

"Transport all energy supplies to the designated area for destruction." Tirlaf issued orders within the Virtual Universe. His soul had been enslaved, and he was utterly loyal to his Zerg Race master.

Thus, even if he had been exposed, he still had to ruin the energy company he had built over countless years, so that the Luojin Universe Nation would suffer some losses.

"Faster, faster, we're about to enter Dark Universe." Tirlaf's eyes were bloodshot. He did not want to die either. If he could get in, he would have a chance to escape.

Whoosh!

King Jiufeng, in his werewolf form, appeared inside the control room.

"King Jiufeng, what can I do for you?" How could Tirlaf fail to recognize this legendary Limit of Immortal King, an unparalleled expert who was even highly likely to be an Invincible King?

King Jiufeng merely stood there, yet Tirlaf was already filled with despair. He could not summon even the courage to resist, and King Jiufeng had forcibly brought the spacecraft to a halt with his immense power.

He was only thinking about how to let the King Immortal inside his World Ring escape. That was also a powerful force against humanity.

He was completely loyal to the aliens.

King Jiufeng stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Hand over all the items on your person for my inspection. If nothing is amiss, I will compensate you with one million Hun Yuan units."

This could be considered an enormous sum. Huyan Bo, a Soul Master who had barely reached Marquis level, had left Luo Feng only several million Hun Yuan units.

For an Ordinary Immortal, one million Hun Yuan units was practically their entire fortune.

Even Tirlaf, as a member of the imperial clan, was no exception.

"One million Hun Yuan units?" Tirlaf wore an ecstatic expression, but the energy within his body surged violently. He had already prepared to self-destruct.

Boom!

"Before me, even self-destruction is beyond you."

King Jiufeng's terrifying divine power pressed down, sealing every shred of Tirlaf's strength.

Though both were Immortals, the difference in their strength was as vast as heaven and earth.

Tirlaf's ordinary attacks could at most blow up Earth.

Yet as a King-level expert, King Jiufeng could crush neutron stars like marbles. The gap between them was absurdly enormous.

At this time, the King Immortal inside Tirlaf's World Ring still made no move. Before King Jiufeng, he too was merely a toy.

What was a High-Level King? King Jiufeng had been recognized as possessing Limit of Immortal King strength ten million years ago.

He had lain dormant for ten million years. In truth, he was only one step away from becoming a Universe Venerable and had long possessed the strength of an Invincible King.

"What do you mean by this, King Jiufeng?!" Tirlaf screamed hysterically. "I will report this to Venerable Luojin! Just because you are a King, you think you can bully me at will?"

"Shut up."

A wave of divine power sealed Tirlaf's mouth.

King Jiufeng extended an arm covered in wolf fur, preparing to search him by the most brutal means. He knew the methods of these aliens well.

A spy had been allowed to carry an assassin within his World Ring.

Back then, King Jiufeng, a peerless human genius, had also suffered assassination attempts from aliens. This was practically a path everyone had to walk.

"I can't hide it anymore..." Tirlaf's eyes brimmed with despair.

The only flaw he could think of was probably following a Zhou Family member to meet Zhou Lin earlier.

But that had been perfectly normal. Zhou Lin was one of the four giants of the Luojin Universe Nation, while he ran an energy business. It was only natural for him to deliberately curry favor with him.

If Zhou Lin had just appeared on Yuechen Star, then that King Immortal would have appeared instantly and killed him.

Boom!

The World Ring shattered explosively.

A Black-Robed Figure emerged. Even the spacecraft was reduced to powder by the terrifying energy, but he had not managed to kill Tirlaf in time.
