After Yang Wu left, the news that he had entered the Inner Realm Within a Realm and instantly killed thousands of ninth-tier Star Level- level adventurers was immediately relayed by the surviving adventurers to the organization's higher-ups and the adventurer army through the Virtual Universe.

In an instant, undercurrents surged throughout the entire Inner Realm, and many adventurers under the command of powerful figures began searching for Yang Wu's whereabouts.

Although the entire Inner Realm spans millions of kilometers and is an immense space, the number of two million adventurers is still astonishing.

Furthermore, many adventurer armies possess detection devices bestowed by powerful beings waiting outside the World Lord World. As long as they work together, it will be very difficult for Yang Wu to hide himself within the Inner Realm.

However, it is extremely difficult for these two million troops to work together in unison.

Although the reward offered by Jinguang Marquis was extremely impressive, the treasures within the Inner Realm were also of considerable value.

Yang Wu was a disciple personally taught by Jinguang Marquis. Jinguang Marquis even confiscated all the Laser Gun from the adventurer army for him, which is enough to show that Jinguang Marquis valued this disciple very much.

Therefore, some less powerful Domain Lord and Universe Level powerhouses never intended to obtain the Jinguang Marquis's reward; they simply instructed their subordinates to mine as many Thunder Stone as possible to exchange for treasures.

For them, obtaining a treasure within an Inner Realm was enough! As for the reward of 100 Hunyuan Unit offered by Jinguang Marquis, they had no interest in competing for it.

Moreover, given the strength Yang Wu displayed after entering the Inner Realm, these Universe Level and Domain Lord Level powerhouses, who only dispatched teams of a few hundred or a thousand people, had absolutely no chance against Yang Wu.

As for the other World Lords, they belong to different factions, making it extremely difficult for them to truly unite.

Therefore, although the large army of adventurers was searching for Yang Wu, they still focused more on mining Thunder Stone.

Jinguang Marquis had known this all along, which is why he felt at ease allowing Yang Wu to enter the Inner Realm.

Otherwise, with Yang Wu's current strength, he would perish if surrounded by hundreds of thousands of adventurers.

Yang Wu, who had already entered the Inner Realm, never intended to deliberately conceal his whereabouts.

With his combat boots treading on the ground, Yang Wu slowly walked through a jungle.

A few flashes of gunfire appeared, and more than a dozen corpses fell from the canopy of a thick, large tree.

These people were probably among the first group of adventurers to enter the Inner Realm, but they obviously hadn't joined the main army of adventurers yet, so they didn't know anything about Yang Wu.

The reason the person hiding in the tree canopy attacked Yang Wu was simply to ambush a lone adventurer and obtain some Universe Crystal.

Unfortunately, they weren't very lucky.

"First, I need to figure out the distribution of this adventurer army's power, and then I can try to plunder some of the treasures within the Inner Realm!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

The treasures within this Inner Realm are something even World Lord Level lords would covet.

Although Yang Wu's wealth has surpassed that of most World Lord, some treasures within this Inner Realm are still quite precious to him.

Yang Wu slowly advanced within the Inner Realm, occasionally encountering small teams of adventurers, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands, mining Thunder Stone.

However, the Inner Realm is not Virtual Universe; once you die there, you are truly dead.

Yang Wu was not a bloodthirsty person. If the other party did not interfere with him, he would naturally not deliberately kill them.

Unfortunately, these adventurer teams were all controlled by powerful figures behind the scenes. They either overestimated themselves and attacked Yang Wu, or they planned to follow Yang Wu and determine Yang Wu direction for other, larger groups of adventurers.

Yang Wu had no choice but to take action.

Of course, even with Yang Wu's strength, it would be impossible for him to kill everyone before they could reveal their location.

Therefore, Yang Wu's position is constantly being exposed.

Fortunately, these teams belonged to different factions, and the World Lord lords behind them all wanted to obtain the Jinguang Marquis's reward for themselves, so they did not make this information public. For a time, the large army of adventurers was unable to accurately locate Yang Wu's position.

Two days later, Yang Wu encountered an army of ten thousand adventurers under the command of a powerful World Lord within the Inner Realm.

Although he had faced armies of ten thousand warriors many times in the Killing Field, this was the first time Yang Wu had encountered one in reality.

However, Yang Wu did not back down in the slightest.

Meanwhile, the adventurer army on the other side quickly surrounded Yang Wu.

Inside a palace in the center of Black Dragon Mountain Island in the Virtual Universe.

The leader of the adventurer army that had surrounded Yang Wu was standing respectfully before a powerful World Lord 'Baha', reporting to him.

"Sir, we have completely surrounded Yang Wu, whose name is on the bounty poster. Should we launch an attack immediately?"

"No!" Baha shook his head and said, "You guys try to persuade him to surrender first. If that doesn't work, then launch an attack. But you must be quick, kill him before the others arrive! Also, immediately activate the Virtual Universe synchronization teleportation to send the video back!"

Baha was merely a World Lord from one of the sixteen major families in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area. Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to directly kill Jinguang Marquis's personal disciple. Therefore, he first chose to persuade Yang Wu to surrender.

As for the threats from other adventurer armies, Baha didn't care much.

Unlike treasures within the Inner Realm, this operation is not something that can be stolen. As long as his army of adventurers can transmit the video of Yang Wu's surrender or death before others arrive, even if all ten thousand of his troops are wiped out, he will still receive the reward from the Jinguang Marquis.

Immediately, the leader of the adventurer army activated Virtual Universe synchronous teleportation.

Under the watchful eyes of the World Lord Baha, the adventurer army first sent several envoys to persuade Yang Wu to surrender, but Yang Wu refused.

Then, the army of adventurers began their attack.

"First squad, Spiritual Force illusion attack!"

"Second squad, Origin Force ranged attack!"

"Third squad, launch Telepathic Weapon attack!"

Rumble!

Flowing Light of dazzling light in various colors shot through the air from each formation toward Yang Wu.

These are elite soldiers!

These ninth-tier Star Level adventurers are elite soldiers personally trained by major powers, and they are extremely skilled in 'combined attack techniques'.

With thousands of Origin Force converging, their power was no less than that of a C2C3 level laser cannon; the Telepathic Weapon gathered together seemed to be commanded by one person, attacking a single point; and the illusionary attacks were even more difficult to defend against!

Unfortunately, long before entering the Inner Realm, Yang Wu had already simulated such scenarios many times in the Virtual Universe.

Therefore, all these attacks were ineffective against Yang Wu's countermeasures.

The illusion attacked Yang Wu first, but had no effect whatsoever; as for the Origin Force attacks and Telepathic Weapon attacks, once they entered the area around Yang Wu, their speed was greatly reduced, and they could not cause any damage to Yang Wu at all.

Before the first wave of attacks was over, Yang Wu had already charged into the ranks of the adventurers.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

Before the incredulous eyes of the World Lord Baha, Yang Wu slaughtered more than half of the tens of thousands of adventurers in an instant. The synchronized video also came to an abrupt end the moment the army leader was killed.

"This..." Baha couldn't help but smile wryly, "Truly worthy of being Lord Jinguang Marquis's disciple!"

In fact, Baha had already guessed that Yang Wu might be a formidable opponent, but driven by greed, he ultimately chose to attack Yang Wu anyway.

After all, an army of ten thousand adventurers was nothing to a World Lord like him, but if he could successfully kill Yang Wu, he would have made a huge profit.

Unfortunately, Baha ultimately failed to achieve his goal. Instead, he ended up losing more than he gained, not only failing to capture Yang Wu but also missing out on the treasures within the Inner Realm.

I've been stuck on this for two hours and don't know how to write the next breakthrough chapter, so I'll just post one chapter for now.
