Assassination Begins!
A few minutes later.
Qi Shui Qiong led everyone to the outside of the Cloud Palace World.
Looking at the azure 'membrane' thousands of miles away, emanating an unknown and mysterious aura.
A strong sense of curiosity arose about the world that was faintly visible within the membrane.
"A colossal world three light-years in diameter, where even Super Force like the Great Axe Coliseum would have to expend a tremendous amount of resources to activate it once, just how strong is this membrane defense?"
Yang Yu and Ai Chen both looked over with the same curiosity.
At this time, they were tens of thousands of miles away from Yang Yu and his group.
In a canyon.
Hundreds of Spirit Monkey Race have gathered here.
"No loud noises!"
Fighting and killing are prohibited!
"Flying out of the canyon is prohibited!"
"Anyone who violates this rule will be executed without mercy!"
The majestic sound echoed through the canyon hollow.
The tall, powerful Spirit Monkey Race member spoke.
The hundreds of young Spirit Monkey Race below fell silent in fear.
"The Great Axe Coliseum is merciful, allowing you to go in and train as well. Such an opportunity may only come once every few decades or centuries, so you must seize it!"
"However, the Cloud Palace World is extremely dangerous. You only need to survive inside for a full year, find the exit, and come out alive. Then you will be qualified to join the Great Axe Coliseum."
"This opportunity is hard-won, so cherish it!"
The powerful Spirit Monkey Race- man surveyed the area below.
"Now, follow me!"
As he spoke, hundreds of young members of the Spirit Monkey Race flew towards Yang Yu and his group's location under his leadership.
A moment later.
"Lord Qi Shui Qiong, these are all the members of our Spirit Monkey Race who are participating in the trials."
"Okay, let them in after our people have gone in."
Qi Shui Qiong glanced at a young man in the Spirit Monkey Race, a strange light flashing in his eyes before disappearing.
"Yes, sir!"
The powerful member of the Spirit Monkey Race excitedly agreed.
A few more moments passed.
The moment the barrier outside the Cloud Palace World changed from cyan to light cyan.
"Cloud Palace, open!"
Qi Shui Qiong gave a low shout, and then he and the other four immortals made their moves.
Five powerful energies erupted from their hands and instantly struck the membrane in the distance.
The massive energy surge caused instability in the surrounding space.
A few seconds later.
The pale blue diaphragm was finally blasted open by the enormous energy, creating a small gap.
With a whoosh, ten blood-red tokens flew out and landed in front of Yang Yu, Ai Chen, and the other three.
"Put away your Mission Token and get inside quickly!"
Qi Shui Qiong addressed Yang Yu and the others.
"Yes!"
After agreeing, Yang Yu and Ai Chen casually put the token into their Space Ring. Then, in a few flashes, they arrived at a gap that was taller than a person, and entered it hand in hand.
The other eight followed closely behind and entered the Cloud Palace World.
Seeing that the main character had gone inside, Qi Shui Qiong then gestured for the hundreds of Spirit Monkey Race to follow him in.
When the last Spirit Monkey Race member disappeared into the gap.
Qi Shui Qiong and several other immortals followed him in.
After entering, the group dispersed and began patrolling the Cloud Palace World aboard F-class standard spaceships.
Meanwhile, Qi Shui Qiong's patrol secretly flew towards Yang Yu's direction. "Two High-ranking Army Lord attempting assassination, Yang Yu, how do you expect to defend yourself?"
In the Cloud Palace World.
Yang Yu and Ai Chen regained consciousness after a period of disorientation.
Fortunately, the two were holding hands from the beginning.
Therefore, it was not blown away by the powerful energy storm at the entrance.
"Brother Yu, is this the Cloud Palace World? It's shrouded in mist and towering mountains, but it doesn't seem dangerous at all."
Ai Chen felt a little shy, but when she felt the warmth of Yang Yu's large hand holding hers, she blushed but did not pull away.
Noticing Ai Chen's unusual behavior, Yang Yu smiled but didn't let go. Instead, he pulled Ai Chen towards a nearby mountain peak.
"This is just the surface of the Cloud Palace World. In reality, there are many powerful and Fierce Beast lurking around us. Remember not to let go." Yang Yu held Ai Chen's hand tightly, not daring to relax his grip in the slightest.
"Mmm~" Ai Chen replied shyly. The warmth from her palm gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.
The two flew cautiously.
Here.
The gravitational pull is also surprisingly strong.
It's even stronger than the Abyss World back then.
Even Star Level power would struggle to fly for extended periods on its own here; only Universe Level could fly with ease.
Similarly, the range of Mental Force is also significantly reduced.
However, Yang Yu's soul has been strengthened several times, making its coverage area much wider than that of a typical Universe Level being.
Although Ai Chen has good talent, he has not had any special experiences, so his soul essence is no different from other geniuses, and the range of his Soul Power here is very limited.
Are there many Fierce Beasts?
Ai Chen looked around; she hadn't spotted a single Fierce Beast yet.
The portable detector also indicated that it was very safe.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing sound rang out.
Its speed was so fast that even a typical Domain Lord would have difficulty stopping it if they hadn't been on guard beforehand.
But Yang Yu just smiled faintly, waved his left hand, and casually unleashed a Claw Light that sent the gleaming spike flying.
"Snort!"
Following the direction from which the spikes came, Yang Yu Soul-Splitting Slash.
In an instant, the Illusory Blade Shadow slashed across thousands of miles, accurately striking the scorpion-like Fierce Beast hidden beneath the clouds.
Under the cover of his Mental Force, Yang Yu clearly sensed that this scorpion Fierce Beast was quite strong, around the fifth or sixth level of Domain Lord.
Unfortunately, this powerful Fierce Beast chose the wrong opponent.
Even though Yang Yu and Ai Chen only exuded the aura of the Universe Level, how could they be regarded as ordinary Universe Level beings?
However, Yang Yu dealt with it with ease.
But the Universe Level youths of the Spirit Monkey Race who arrived later faced much greater difficulties.
Although they were quite capable, otherwise they wouldn't have been selected to participate in the trials in the Cloud Palace World.
However, they were attacked by Fierce Beast in the mid-to-late stage of the Domain Lord hidden within this misty world.
Half of the hundreds of randomly scattered Spirit Monkey Race youths died the moment they entered.
However, one of the young Spirit Monkey Race handled the situation with remarkable ease.
Suddenly, an E9 Grade Laser Gun appeared in his hand, and a single laser shot instantly killed the attacking Fierce Beast.
Then, in a flash, he disappeared in front of them.
Strangely, he was heading in the exact direction Yang Yu and Ai Chen were located.
A cruel glint flashed in the eyes of the young Spirit Monkey Race named Hou Yuan, as he simultaneously communicated with the powerful being hidden in the World Ring he carried with him.
"Fals Fars, we're counting on you later."
"Hehehe, you don't need to worry about that, little guy. Just fly in the direction I point out."
The immortal Fals in the World Ring is staring at a small green dot on the screen on his left arm.
Of the ten tokens Qi Shui Qiong gave him earlier, Yang Yu's token was secretly marked with an extremely discreet mark, which could transmit location information to Fals's Smart Brain in real time.
Based on this, Fals was confident that he wouldn't lose Yang Yu in the vast Cloud Palace World.
"It's best to get as close to them as possible when they're not paying attention, and leave the rest to me."
Hidden within a small World Ring carried by Hou Yuan, a young man from the Spirit Monkey Race, the immortal named Fals spoke indifferently.
He was one of the powerful individuals whose Soul Slavery by Montas in the Outer-Domain Battlefield, and he was also secretly sent to the Shenshi Secret Realm as a pawn a long time ago.
All they wanted was to find a perfect opportunity to exchange their lives for a Peerless Genius.
He would use this to obtain a reward from the clan that was so generous it would drive him mad.
As for who to replace and how to replace them, it all depends on the actual situation.
After waiting for millions of years, Montas finally found the perfect target for his assassination.
Only Peerless Genius like Yang Yu, who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, is worth sacrificing two immortal Soul Slave to assassinate.
Otherwise, it would result in a loss.
"Bang!"
Yang Yu pulled Ai Chen to stand atop a mountain.
"Many Fierce Beast lurk beneath the clouds, adept at disguise. We must not be careless. Let's get out of here first."
Yang Yu looked at Ai Chen and said.
Yang Yu never let go of Ai Chen's hand from beginning to end.
Firstly, it is indeed very dangerous here, and secondly, since we've already tied the leash, how can we easily let go?
"Mmm!" Ai Chen sounded very gentle, her slightly flushed face making her look even more shy. "I'll do whatever Brother Yu says."
Soon.
Yang Yu used the simplified map provided in the mission briefing to determine the direction.
"That's the 'Cloud Mist Forest,' the closest place to us where the 'Shi Yan Beast' might exist. But even so, it's still over 30 million miles away. Let's take a spaceship there."
As he spoke, Yang Yu waved his hand and released the Machine Race Spaceship, taking Ai Chen inside.
"Whoosh!"
The spaceship immediately vanished, disappearing into a blur, and flew towards the Cloud Mist Forest.
But it only flew for about ten seconds.
Yang Yu was shocked to discover that several World Lord Level Fierce Beasts had appeared around the spaceship!
"Boom!"
A Cyan Energy missile suddenly slammed into the spaceship.
This caused the spaceship to veer slightly in flight, but after all, this was the most advanced Machine Race Spaceship in the E-class. Even a World Lord Mid Stage -level attack couldn't break through its energy defenses; it was just that the powerful energy bombardment inevitably caused its flight trajectory to deviate slightly.
"Xiao Chen, be careful and protect yourself. We've been targeted by several Fierce Beasts."
As Yang Yu spoke, he immediately began to personally control the spaceship, instantly stabilizing the swaying vessel.
Then, with the powerful Mental Force of the Zhuliuyin Clone within his body, he manipulated the spaceship to make several sharp turns, shaking off the pursuing World Lord Fierce Beast.
But a few minutes later.
A similar scene played out again.
Moreover, this time the World Lord Level Fierce Beast in the pursuit has reached ten!
Judging from its appearance, it is clearly from the same group as the Fierce Beast that attacked earlier.
'The Ancestor Terror Bird!'
Ai Chen was shocked to see the ferocious appearance of the surrounding Fierce Beast through the panoramic virtual reality.
"The unique Fierce Beast nurtured in the Shenshi Secret Realm can reach the Domain Lord Level upon adulthood, and the best among them can easily break through to the World Lord. They are an extremely powerful race in the Shenshi Secret Realm, and there are even Immortal Expert in this race."
"Brother Yu, it looks like we're in big trouble."
Being targeted by so many World Lord Level Fierce Beasts for the first time, Ai Chen, who had never encountered such a dangerous situation before, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Haha, Xiao Chen, don't panic, just watch."
Yang Yu, who had even enslaved the immortals, was naturally quite calm about this small scene before him.
Although each of these ten Ancestor Terror Bird was tens of thousands of meters long and exuded an aura of World Lord Late Stage, their burst speed could barely keep up with the Machine Race Spaceship personally controlled by Yang Yu.
"Boom boom boom!"
Countless long-range attacks formed from the World Power bombarded the spaceship.
However, these attacks are weakened by the energy defense layer, so they pose a very limited threat when they hit the spaceship.
It's impossible to break through the E-class alloy hull.
Aside from the first wave of attacks that completely covered the spaceship and were unavoidable, Yang Yu unleashed his superb control skills, dodging the long-range energy bombardments from above, below, left, and right with a few graceful spins.
Looking at Yang Yu's confident demeanor and the Ancestor Terror Bird that had once again been left behind, Ai Chen couldn't suppress his admiration.
If she were being chased by ten World Lords, she would have panicked terribly.
"Damn it, Yang Yu actually dared to use a spaceship to travel in the Cloud Palace World."
At this moment, the immortal named Fals used his Soul Power to probe and 'saw' that Yang Yu had broken free of the lock on while riding the Machine Race Spaceship. His originally calm expression turned irritable.
"Young man, I'll help you on your way!"
As he spoke, Fals extended an Immortal Power that enveloped Hou Yuan, the young man from the Spirit Monkey Race.
As the golden light flashed, Hou Yuan's speed instantly increased countless times, accelerating to 290,000 kilometers per second in less than a second.
They then maintained this speed and chased after Yang Yu in the direction he had disappeared.
Such speed caused even the most restless Fierce Beast to suppress their bloodlust and refrain from rushing forward to their deaths.
Having once again shaken off the Fierce Beast's pursuit, Yang Yu pondered for a moment before finally deciding to put away the spaceship and obediently carry Ai Chen at low altitude to continue their journey.
In fact, the previous mission information had already warned us to avoid using spaceships within the Cloud Palace World, otherwise we would attract attacks from many powerful flying Fierce Beast.
One wrong move and you'll be surrounded by more and more World Lord Level Fierce Beast.
Yang Yu, confident in his possession of the Machine Race Spaceship and his own Soul Power, and relying on the Machine Race Spaceship's high mobility, did not take the warning to heart.
Having been pursued by two World Lord Level Fierce Beasts in succession, Yang Yu was naturally not afraid, but for Ai Chen's safety, he still chose to travel by the safest method.
"Xiao Chen, hold on tight to me!"
At this moment, a pure Origin Force emanated from Yang Yu's body. He then used Breath Concealment Secret Technique, and the auras of the two of them immediately weakened at a visible speed until they were almost imperceptible.
With the help of Secret Technique, Yang Yu and Ai Chen were finally spared from the endless harassment of Fierce Beast.
Although this way of traveling is slow, it's safer.
Moreover, although most of the time spent piloting the Machine Race Spaceship was spent shaking off the Fierce Beast, we still covered quite a distance in the few minutes we were piloting it.
The rest of the journey is expected to take only three to five days by plane.
The travel time is acceptable.
"Whoosh!"
A mountain shrouded in a light mist.
A bolt of Thunder suddenly flashed across the sky, but strangely, Thunder failed to attract the attention of any of the Fierce Beast.
"Finally, we've abandoned the spaceship and are on our way!"
Upon noticing that the light representing Yang Yu had slowed down its movement, Fals knew that Yang Yu had chosen to fly on his own.
Universe Level flight speed is not fast, especially in the Cloud Palace World teeming with dangerous Fierce Beast.
That would be even slower.
With Fals's help, Hou Yuan, a young man from the Spirit Monkey Race who was also Soul Control, arrived at a place less than a thousand miles away from Yang Yu and Ai Chen in less than half an hour.
"Little monkey, your mission ends here."
Fals's cold voice entered Hou Yuan's mind, and then the Immortal Power surrounding Hou Yuan trembled, causing Hou Yuan to be completely Annihilation Mystery.
