Self-Destruction (Please Follow for More)

King Jiufeng was too fast. The instant the World Ring shattered, before its energy could even spread, he had already grabbed Tirlaf.

"Humph!" The Black-Robed Figure glanced coldly at King Jiufeng, then unleashed a soul attack in all directions as his body suddenly began to expand.

"Not good!"

King Jiufeng cursed angrily. Tirlaf had already died completely in his hands. He could not help him resist much of the soul attack. The methods of a King Immortal Soul Master could easily kill an Ordinary Immortal even with only their residual power.

"Die, human!" The Black-Robed Figure instantly erupted with endless light and heat, becoming tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of times more dazzling than a star!

The self-destruction of a King Immortal!

A terrifying energy storm swept across the entire starry sky. Although this place was already tens of millions of kilometers from Yuechen Star, the planet could still be easily destroyed if the heat wave reached it.

The storm of flames poured down like a waterfall, swallowing the vast, boundless cosmic starry sky.

Buzz~

A Green Lamp flew out from King Jiufeng's hand. It crossed the distant space and suddenly expanded to tens of thousands of miles in size, enveloping the entire Yuechen Star within it.

All the stars in the area, along with the various floating technological satellites, exploded in an instant. The heat wave spread over an astonishing range.

Its mighty power swept through heaven and earth. Without King Jiufeng's Green Lamp protecting it, countless lifeforms on Yuechen Star would have died.

It was the true destruction of all living things!

Even space was burned into countless streams of particles. Waves of heat swept across heaven and earth. One had to know that the eruption of a star was already enough to overturn the entire Solar System.

Not to mention the self-destruction of a King Immortal.

Within hundreds of billions of kilometers, the stars touched by the heat wave had already dimmed. This was even after King Jiufeng had intervened to block part of it.

The area that had been burned away was not large.

But the shock waves had caused the entire star system to decline, leaving only Yuechen Star and Sun Star still intact.

"A Soul Master self-destructed just like that. What a ruthless move." King Jiufeng sneered. Such an attack naturally had no effect on him.

Unfortunately, the other party had self-destructed too quickly. The flames had already begun to spread completely. He had no time to use the Green Lamp to seal away the power, and could only protect Zhou Lin's family.

King Jiufeng activated the Virtual Universe's synchronized transmission. The entire upper echelons of humanity learned of the incident.

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island plane.

On the mountainside, inside Venerable Luojin's palace, he was frowning as he sent emails to many friends, expressing how helpless he was.

It was not unusual for members of the imperial family to be enslaved.

Many descendants of King Immortals and Universe Venerables had been enslaved and controlled by aliens.

But this had happened to Zhou Lin twice. He truly felt humiliated.

Whoosh!

A figure flew over directly, moving at an astonishing speed.

Venerable Luojin looked over at the sound and saw Palace Master Tianshi wearing a silver robe with golden patterns.

"Palace Master Tianshi." Venerable Luojin hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Luojin." Palace Master Tianshi said coldly, "I have only this one disciple. Get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible."

Venerable Luojin was also helpless.

Palace Master Tianshi held an extremely high position within the race. With the strength of a Top Universe Overlord, he was unafraid even of weaker Universe Masters, and was vaguely a level above them, the Venerables.

"Palace Master Tianshi, I will investigate this as quickly as possible." Venerable Luojin said directly, "But even if we find out which race did it, what use will that be?"

Palace Master Tianshi raised his brows and said directly, "Whoever dares assassinate my disciple, I will kill their Venerables on the Original Star, in secret realms, and in the Cosmic Sea."

His tone was calm, yet an inexplicable killing intent rose from it.

As a Universe Overlord, Palace Master Tianshi had far fewer concerns than City Master of Chaos. Besides, the other party's actions had indeed crossed the line.

During the Domain Lord stage, the Human Race would do everything possible to protect its geniuses. Zhou Lin was still within a Universe Country, yet they had dared to send a King Immortal Soul Master to assassinate him.

If Zhou Lin had been hunted down by a King Immortal during the Realm Lord stage, Palace Master Tianshi naturally would not have said anything. If he had been killed, it would simply have meant that he was weaker.

Luojin Imperial Palace.

At this moment, all the imperial family members still in Imperial Capital Star were kneeling before the palace, including the Immortals.

Venerable Luojin wore an imperial robe and stood there silently.

"You've made me lose face..." Venerable Luojin coldly looked down at them. Even when Apolshido had previously been enslaved, he had never said such a thing.

No one dared to answer. One alien slave after another had appeared within the imperial family. This could be called a shocking scandal.

"Investigate it." Venerable Luojin said slowly, "Dipu, Aier Yue, you will be responsible for thoroughly investigating everyone."

"Yes!"

The two Immortals below answered in unison. They were also the only King Immortals among Venerable Luojin's descendants.

Even for a Venerable's descendants, cultivating a King Immortal was extremely difficult. Only someone like Venerable Shihuo, who had spared no expense, had managed to create King Yanzhu.

"Thoroughly investigate all the companies related to Tirlaf, as well as everyone involved." After giving his instructions, Venerable Luojin left indifferently.

He also had matters to attend to.

The entire Luojin Universe Nation was about to face a storm.

At this moment, Zhou Lin was staying on Yuechen Star. His clansmen were still shaken with fear. The energy storm that had swept through all things had surged right before their eyes.

If not for King Jiufeng's protection, they would all have died.

"Do you not need to deal with your family's affairs?" King Jiufeng reminded him. "The fact that Tirlaf could appear here may involve quite a few people."

Zhou Lin shook his head. "Once they find out who is responsible, kill those who should be killed and punish those who should be punished. Even if I ask them now, I won't get any answers."

The elders were all filled with fear, and no one knew what had happened. They had only discovered, after someone connected to the Virtual Universe, that Tirlaf's company was gone.

"Let's go." King Jiufeng had seen many things like this. Many descendants of King Immortals had been enslaved, and investigating them naturally implicated countless people.

At this moment, Aido suddenly said, "Your Highness, I won't be leaving with you. The company has already notified me that I can return."

He had actually known this all along.

When Zhou Lin had defeated Bai Bo while in the Domain Lord stage, Aido had known that the Virtual Universe Company would need to replace his guard.

Zhou Lin was even stronger than him. There was no point in keeping him around.

"Mm." Zhou Lin smiled. "Aido, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me at any time. I also have to thank you for protecting me for so long."

Aido's heart warmed.

Regardless of what happened in the future, Zhou Lin's current attitude at least made people feel very comfortable.

King Jiufeng watched this scene with great satisfaction.

Part of the reason he could serve as Zhou Lin's guard was Palace Master Tianshi's past kindness to him. Another part was naturally that he wanted to form a good relationship with Zhou Lin.

If Zhou Lin were an ungrateful person, then King Jiufeng could only say that he had made the trip for nothing.

"I wonder when my fourth-ring mission will be issued."

Zhou Lin had already decided to become a Realm Lord.

Becoming a god through the Second-Grade Divine Heart meant that he could rival an Immortal as soon as he entered that stage.

There was no point in remaining at the Domain Lord stage any longer. Moreover, the Realm Lord stage was the fastest stage for comprehending the various Origin Laws.
