"Boom boom boom!"

Facing the menacing giant Moyun Vine, the King Zhenhou, whose Divine Body had been burned, was not afraid. He smashed his enormous rock fist toward the nearest vine.

"Snap~"

Under the powerful punch of the King Zhenhou, the vines, tens of kilometers in diameter, snapped instantly.

But this is merely a branch.

Before the King Zhenhou could throw another punch, countless tiny but tightly bound vines completely bound the thousands-of-meters-tall King Zhenhou!

With 360 Main Vine, the Cloud -Moyun Vine in its King Limit form is exceptionally effective at trapping and Entrap Enemy.

It can definitely be used as a second-tier Domain Type Heavy Treasure!

They didn't even need to Burn Divine Body to easily control the King Zhenhou, whose Divine Body had already burned.

This is what makes Plant Life so extraordinary.

"Aaaaah, damn it!" King Zhenhou was trembling with fear. "It's actually the Moyun Vine at the King Limit!"

"You human, you're so despicable!"

King Zhenhou roared, "Cultivating Plant Life at the King Limit is extremely difficult. Generally, only Venerable or powerful individuals with extremely high origins can afford to do it."

King Zhenhou never imagined that a mere stranger he encountered would possess such a high-level Moyun Vine.

"Well done, Xiao Mo!"

Immediately afterward, Yang Yu appeared in Flash and praised the Moyun Vine in his mind, then his eyes lit up with a dazzling purple light.

In an instant.

Countless phantom souls charged towards the King Zhenhou.

"Hmph!" King Zhenhou was not worried when he saw that it was Soul Attack coming. He might be average in Soul Attack, but he was very good at Soul Defense.

He had mastered their clan's strongest Soul Defense Secret Technique, the "Mountain Roar Bell," to the extreme below the Venerable level, rendering ordinary Soul Attack unable to even affect him.

With their consciousness Consciousness Sea, King Zhenhou, surrounded by a giant, illusory, earthen-yellow bell, was brimming with confidence.

But the next moment, King Zhenhou showed an expression of disbelief once again.

"Boom!"

The incredibly sharp Annihilation Blade Shadow crashed into the Mountain Roar Bell.

"Clang!!!"

The Mountain Roar Bell's defense is indeed impressive; it's arguably the strongest Soul Defense Yang Yu has encountered in recent years.

The first Annihilation Blade Shadow instantly dissipated.

However, the dissipated Annihilation Blade Shadow immediately formed countless smaller blade shadows, and the Annihilation Mystery properties were fully utilized at this time.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

The tiny blade shadows seemed to possess a spirit, constantly striking the illusory Mountain Roar Bell. The Mountain Roar Bell, with its formidable defense, was now visibly disintegrating and dispersing.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The agony of his Soul Annihilation caused the mighty King Zhenhou to scream in pain.

But this is far from over.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Annihilation Blade Shadow struck the Mountain Roar Bell in succession, then disintegrated into countless tiny blade shadows, slowly but steadily Annihilation Mystery and disintegrating the Mountain Roar Bell of the King Zhenhou.

"Despicable humans!"

Despite the excruciating King Zhenhou shouted, "If you've got the guts, fight me head-on!"

"Oh!"

Yang Yu chuckled, offering no reply, and unleashed another wave of Annihilation Blade Shadow!

Moreover, it was the Annihilation Blade Shadow that contained Yang Yu's entire will.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

The sound of the King Zhenhou's Soul Defense being continuously Annihilation Mystery spread silently.

In an instant.

The once solid Mountain Roar Bell was instantly Annihilation Mystery.

Before the King Zhenhou could make its next move, the Annihilation Blade Shadow, containing Yang Yu's entire will and all his Law Comprehension, instantly tore apart the Mountain Roar Bell, and then annihilated and severely injured the King Zhenhou's Soul Annihilation!

Then he fell into a coma!

The speed was incredible, Annihilation Mystery was devastating.

The King Zhenhou didn't even have time to activate its self-destruct!

The unconscious King Zhenhou closed his eyes helplessly.

"Now!"

Yang Yu glanced at the King Zhenhou, who was still trapped by the Moyun Vine- Piercing Vine, and a fleeting hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the Myriad Heart Soul Control Secret Technique was unleashed.

The King Zhenhou's Soul Slavery, leaving him unconscious and powerless to resist!

Looking at the King Zhenhou, whom he had successfully enslaved, Yang Yu smiled slightly and took out a 'Soul Spirit Fruit' worth hundreds of millions of Hunyuan, emitting a strange and fragrant aroma.

This fruit was one of the many spoils Yang Yu had previously acquired.

Because of their extremely high value and great uses, especially their miraculous effect on repairing immortal souls, Yang Yu kept them all.

The World Power controlled the King Zhenhou to eat the Soul Spirit Fruit.

Moment.

A surge of extremely pure and vast Soul Energy entered the depths of King Zhenhou's soul, rapidly nourishing and restoring King Zhenhou damaged soul.

Just a moment.

The King Zhenhou's Soul Injury was mostly healed.

Consciousness gradually returned.

Suddenly.

King Zhenhou opened his eyes, but the savagery in them was gone.

All they felt was boundless respect and loyalty towards Yang Yu.

"Zhenhou! Greetings, Master!"

King Zhenhou immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully shouted.

"Haha, good!" Yang Yu stepped forward and helped King Zhenhou up. "You are now my first King Limit Servant. Here are two Soul Spirit Fruits. Eat them and recover your strength."

With a flick of his wrist, Yang Yu sent two Soul Spirit Fruits, each emitting a strange and fragrant aroma, flying toward King Zhenhou.

"Yes, Master!"

King Zhenhou respectfully accepted the fruit, saying, "My master is so kind to me. He gave me this precious fruit, worth over ten billion Hunyuan, just like that."

Generally speaking

Once the King-level Immortal emerges from his coma, his soul's powerful self-healing ability allows him to recover from such a Soul Injury within decades, without needing to use such a precious fruit to shorten the recovery time.

After all, even a powerful expert at the King Limit wouldn't be willing to squander over a billion Hunyuan.

In their view, a mere few decades is far less important than saving the precious Soul Spirit Fruit for unforeseen circumstances.

But now that Yang Yu is his master, King Zhenhou will absolutely obey Yang Yu's orders.

He quickly ate two Soul Spirit Fruits.

The King Zhenhou's soul was recovering at a visible speed.

Just half an hour later.

The King Zhenhou then returned to its peak condition.

"Thank you, Master!"

King Zhenhou shouted respectfully.

"Haha, no need to thank me, you'll be very useful later," Yang Yu laughed. "By the way, let me see all the treasures you have, and also that blood-red armor you got from killing King Banan."

"Yes, Master!"

A moment later, King Zhenhou respectfully handed over a World Ring.

All his wealth, including the Blood Demon Armor which he had only recently acknowledged as his master, was in here.

As Soul Slave, one is absolutely loyal to one's master, and can never refuse any request from one's master.

Yang Yu accepted the ring, recognized it as his own, and scanned it with his consciousness.

"Hmm, you're quite wealthy. I'll keep these assets for you, and you can keep the rest."

King Zhenhou is quite powerful, his accumulated strength over millions of years is naturally remarkable, and he has just killed King Banan and obtained all of his wealth.

Therefore, the total value of all the treasures inside this World Ring is approximately over 120 billion Hunyuan!

This is a rough calculation, based on the lowest price of various treasures, and does not include the Blood Demon Armor, Heavy Treasure.

If these treasures are sold off gradually, the selling price could potentially be 10-20% higher.

In the end, Yang Yu took the treasure worth 120 billion Hunyuan Unit, leaving the remaining few billion to King Zhenhou.

After distributing the wealth, Yang Yu picked up the blood-red armor, infiltrated it with his Spiritual Mark, and easily refined it to become his own.

"Boom!"

In an instant.

All the information within the Blood Demon Armor flooded into Yang Yu's mind.

"This Blood Demon Armor is quite impressive. After mastering the first level of its Secret Technique, it can actually reduce Material Attack and Soul Attack from those below the Venerable by 90%!"

What had just flooded Yang Yu's mind was a set of Defense Secret Technique for the Blood Demon Armor.

However, this is only the first level; you need to master it before you can unlock the Secret Technique of the second level.

According to the message from the Blood Demon Armor, to master the first level, one needs to master the Earth Origin Law and comprehend the 'Space Blockade' technique in terms of the Space Law.

Once mastered, the Defense Secret Technique, combined with the defensive capabilities of the Blood Demon Armor, allows one to easily withstand attacks from those below the Venerable.

It is a very valuable Heavy Treasure.

Such treasures typically sell for around 550 billion Hunyuan within the Hong Alliance.

Such a price is only affordable for powerful individuals at the Venerable level.

Because such Heavy Treasure are essentially used by Venerable Level experts.

With Yang Yu's keen eye, it was easy to see that the condition for the second layer of the Blood Demon Armor's Secret Technique was most likely that one needed to master the Space Law in order to have a chance to master the corresponding Defense Secret Technique.

However, this Heavy Treasure is quite good, especially suitable for those who are skilled in the Soul Path and cultivate the earth and space lineages of the King-level Expert.

But for me, it's actually not as practical as the Moyun Vine, and it's far inferior to the Dark Star Suit.

So after understanding the situation, Yang Yu released the Blood Demon Armor from its mastery and threw it back to King Zhenhou. "Zhenhou King, you can continue using this armor for now. I'll need your assistance in many areas later. I'll take it back depending on the situation."

Upon receiving the armor, King Zhenhou showed a look of surprise and delight, "Thank you, Master!"

In terms of value alone, this Blood Demon Armor is worth ten times the wealth of a top- King Limit Expert.

Even if you sold the King Zhenhou, you still couldn't afford it.

"I don't think you've mastered the Secret Technique of the first level yet," Yang Yu asked.

"Yes, Master. I just received it from King Banan. I haven't had enough time to study the first level's Defense Secret Technique yet. Although I fully meet the requirements in terms of the laws, it will still take some time to completely master them."

King Zhenhou replied respectfully, "Of course, and it's fortunate that I haven't had time to master it yet, otherwise I wouldn't be able to follow my master."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent with your Zhenhou." Yang Yu chuckled. "Since we have some free time now, let's go somewhere else. You should master the first level of the Secret Technique first, and then we'll proceed!"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhenhou replied respectfully, and then Yang Yu led King Zhenhou away from this Forbidden Space. After finding a secluded place, they quickly carved out a simple cave dwelling, which was then enveloped by the Moyun Vine.

The two then entered a brief period of secluded cultivation.

While King Zhenhou was focused on studying the first layer of the Blood Demon Armor's Defense Secret Technique...

Yang Yu, on the other hand, was reflecting on what he had gained during this period.

"The progress in the laws isn't significant, but the progress in Original Body genes is enormous! A five-thousand-fold Gene Level puts me among the most outstanding of all Special Life."

"Moreover, through continuous study of the Heavenly God Diagram and the Thunder Record over the years, I have been making slow but steady progress in terms of Strength Amplitude and Soul Amplitude."

Generally speaking.

The physical strength of an ordinary immortal is 100 times that of Peak World Lord.

The Marquis-level Immortal is 1000 times greater.

The Elementary King is 10,000 times higher.

The High-level King is 30,000 times.

The King Limit is 100,000 times.

As for the King Limit and the King Invincible, their Divine Body are also based on 100,000 times the World Lord Power. However, they have higher achievements in Strength Amplitude and Soul Amplitude, as well as stronger Combat Secret Technique, self-created unique skills, and treasures and weapons.

That's how one can become so much stronger than at the King Limit.

Just like Yang Yu now, Original Body physical foundation is only at the World Lord Peak, but his Gene Level is five thousand times higher. His physical foundation alone is five thousand times the World Lord Power.

With the completion of his physical and Mental Force exertion over the years, the amplitude has increased by 40 times.

That's 200,000 times the World Lord Power!

It's twice the size of a typical King Limit Divine Body at the King level!

In other words, Yang Yu is currently even stronger than many King Limit experts.

Certainly.

It's only stronger than the average person at the Gene Level.

If a King Limit has refined three Blood Luo Crystal or Abyss Crystal, it can cause a transformation in their Gene Level.

That's no worse than Yang Yu.

For example, the King Zhenhou's Divine Body level is not bad; it is 20 times the King Limit.

However, treasures that can enhance a person's genes are extremely rare!

Only Peak Race like humans would deliberately give opportunities to their geniuses when nurturing them.

If it were a race like the one that the King Zhenhou came from, they wouldn't have such conditions; they would have to rely on themselves to fight for their lives time and time again.

Furthermore, Blood Luo Crystal and Abyss Crystal are both restricted items, and Alien Race basically have no way to purchase them.

This resulted in over 99.9999% of the King-level Immortal Gene Level that were granted the title of King in the Primal Universe being of very ordinary level.

Their only advantage is their sheer numbers!

The composition of the powerful figures within the Hong Alliance reveals that, over countless years, the number of human King-level, including those resurrected throughout history, is only around 100,000.

However, there are over 3 million King-level from Alien Race groups!

This is still King-level of an Alien Race that follows the lead of humans and is almost completely loyal to them.

Even excluding these, there are many more King-level Expert among other Peak Race, powerful races, and race alliances in the Primal Universe!

In fact, this can also be seen from the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

Many of the immortals Yang Yu killed were those who entered the Outer-Domain Battlefield under the guise of being from Peak Race.

Such are the case with King Limit Expert like King Zhenhou and King Banan, who were at the pinnacle of their power.

However, the Combat Power of these ordinary-born King Limit is far inferior to that of King Limit from those from Peak Race.

Just like the 'Seven Sword King', 'King Xuanmu', 'King Mingyun', and others who are currently venturing into the Seventh Starfield Battlefield.

The King Zhenhou and the others were actually similar in their Law Comprehension, but the gap in Secret Technique, ultimate skills, and treasures was too great.

This resulted in the Seven Sword King and others possessing strength that was nearly King Invincible.

But he can only reach the King Limit.

"That's the advantage of a powerful clan."

Yang Yu sighed softly, then glanced at King Zhenhou, who was working hard to master the first layer of the Blood Demon Armor's Defense Secret Technique, before closing his eyes and beginning to cultivate himself.

After experiencing numerous battles, the Original Body's various Clone also saw an increase in their cultivation efficiency.

However, it's still early, so we can't see any obvious results yet.

The Yuanling Clone is now focusing most of its computing power on deducing the 'speed' mystery within the Lightning Law and its connection to other essential mysteries.

According to the original plan, the core of the Mystery of Speed was to integrate the other eleven mysteries.

The Yuanling Clone is doing just that.

However, finding Fusion Fit Point for the mysteries of different natures is infinitely more difficult than finding Fit Point the mysteries of the same nature.

Fortunately, Yang Yu now has Yuanling Clone is specifically designed for calculation and deduction. Otherwise, if he relied solely on his Original Body, the Zhuliuyin Clone, and the Demon Dragon Clone, he would have needed to go into seclusion for an unknown period of time to find a Fit Point.
