On Bauhinia Island, a figure burst forth from the sky, and countless inheritors emerged from their residences.

If the commotion when Venerable Zhaoshi attempted to assassinate Yang Wu wasn't particularly significant, the fact that the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, this Supreme Treasure of the Highest Order, was mobilized was a scene rarely seen even after countless ages, naturally alarming everyone present.

"What's going on? Even the Five-Colored Aurora Lake has been mobilized?"

As Candidate General, Venerable Jiufeng naturally noticed the interest in the Five-Colored Aurora Lake immediately, but his heart tightened even more.

"Could it be that something happened to King Shenwei?" Upon realizing this, Venerable Jiufeng's expression changed drastically.

Thousands of years ago, he received the mission from his tribe to protect the King Shenwei within the Ancestral God Religion. However, in the last few thousand years, the King Shenwei had long since returned to Human Territory.

Therefore, after instructing Yang Wu to send him a message if anything happened, Venerable Jiufeng returned to his residence. After all, as Candidate General, he couldn't stay in the other party's residence indefinitely.

"It might not necessarily be the King Shenwei!" Venerable Jiufeng thought to himself as he flew towards Yang Wu's residence. "I told him before that the Alien Race was very likely to assassinate him, and I also asked him to contact me during the operation. I don't think he would act rashly!"

Venerable Jiufeng's speed was naturally incredibly fast. When he Teleportation to a place not far from Yang Wu's residence, Venerable Zhaoshi's divine body was already enveloped by countless multicolored Aurora. Therefore, he just happened to witness Venerable Zhaoshi Erosion's demise.

"The Five-Colored Aurora Lake truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Supreme Treasure of the Highest Order in the vast universe. A High-Level Universe Venerable is proficient in Soul Attack has fallen so easily!" Seeing the Venerable Zhaoshi being easily annihilated by the Five-Colored Aurora, the Venerable Jiufeng couldn't help but sigh.

Even if he wanted to kill that Venerable Zhaoshi, it would take him some effort! But for the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, it was a trivial matter.

"However, since Venerable Zhaoshi has already made his move, why does King Shenwei seem to be unharmed?"

Seeing Yang Wu unharmed in front of the mansion, Venerable Jiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, but also couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Could it be that the King Shenwei exchanged for some treasure in the Race Treasury?" Venerable Jiufeng wondered to himself.

Those unfamiliar with the King Shenwei might mistake it for a treasure bestowed by the higher-ups of the Human Race.

However, Venerable Jiufeng had personally witnessed the scene of the King Shenwei and the Lord of Dark Python exchanging treasures. Even he would be envious of the wealth on the King Shenwei's person, so there was naturally no need for the higher-ups of the clan to continue bestowing treasures upon him.

"Venerable Jiufeng!"

"Venerable Jiufeng!"

King Chaman, Seven Swords King, and other Beast God Inheritor from the Human Race also appeared one after another beside Venerable Jiufeng.

"What on earth happened here that even the Five-Colored Aurora Lake has been mobilized?"

These people arrived a bit slower; they hadn't even seen the Venerable Zhaoshi being killed by the Five-Colored Aurora, so naturally they didn't know what had happened here.

"It was Venerable Zhaoshi Swamp Erosion who attempted to assassinate King Shenwei, and was then directly annihilated by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake!" Although Venerable Jiufeng was Candidate General, he didn't put on any airs in front of his fellow clansmen, such as the Seven Swords King.

"King Shenwei?" The Seven Swords King and the others all looked at Yang Wu, who seemed to have suffered no harm at all, and were all somewhat dumbfounded.

"Even Venerable Zhaoshi took action personally, how could King Shenwei be unharmed?"

It's important to understand the immense power and speed of an attack from a High-Level Universe Venerable has burned their divine power. Even true Immortal God like themselves might not be able to withstand the full force of the Venerable Zhaoshi's attack until the five-colored Aurora descends, let alone a World Lord like the King Shenwei.

Prior to this, while they acknowledged King Shenwei 'King Shenwei talent and potential, they hadn't paid much attention to his actual strength. After all, King Shenwei was merely a World Lord, and even if he possessed the strength to the Limit King Level realm through treasures, it wasn't anything special!

After all, even the weakest of the Beast God Inheritor on this Bauhinia Island possess the Limit King Level!

Just as countless Beast God Inheritor on the entire Bauhinia Island were exchanging words and staring at Yang Wu in utter shock, an incomparably powerful pressure suddenly descended.

Then, a towering figure appeared out of thin air above Yang Wu's residence.

Its dragon-like body covered tens of thousands of kilometers of space, its huge wings spread out, and its dragon head emerged to look down.

Upon seeing the other party appear, the countless Beast God Inheritor below immediately landed on the ground, each bowing respectfully and saying, "Greetings, Island Master!"

The visitor was none other than the Bauhinia Island Master, the Fire-Space Beast God, one of the Eight Beast Gods.

"A Universe Venerable actually dared to assassinate the King Shenwei? Hmph! Daring to carry out an assassination within the sacred grounds of my Ancestral God Religion, completely disregarding the Ancestral God Religion's prohibitions, what audacity!"

The Fire-Space Beast God nodded slightly to Yang Wu, then said in a deep voice, "Such a person deserves to perish forever! Even if the Venerable Zhaoshi is resurrected by Reverse Time and Space, my Ancestral God Religion will still send powerful experts to hunt him down!"

The boundless pressure emanating from the Fire-Space Beast God caused countless inheritors to slightly change their expressions.

That's too cruel!

Even after being resurrected by Reverse Time and Space, the Venerable Zhaoshi will be hunted down, and his future days will surely be incredibly difficult!

"Fortunately! Fortunately, I didn't make the first move!" Venerable Jueguang thought to himself with relief.

He was already being hunted down by powerful Human Race for his previous assassination attempt on Yang Wu in Human Territory. If he were to provoke the higher-ups of the Ancestral God Religion, his situation would become even more precarious.

After all, the Human Race and the Zerg Alliance are enemies, Venerable Jueguang naturally wouldn't care too much about the Human Race's pursuit.

But the Ancestral God Religion is different!

The Ancestral God Religion is the largest power in the Primal Universe, with its powerful members spread throughout the universe. In terms of both numbers and power, it is second to none.

Even a Universe Master would risk death if hunted down by the Ancestral God Religion!

"The Fire-Space Beast God is nothing more than a minor Beast God Inheritor title. Why make such a fuss?" Just then, another majestic voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire Bauhinia Island.

At the same time, another majestic figure appeared in the sky Bauhinia Island.

Its size is almost the same as that of the Fire-Space Beast God, reaching tens of thousands of kilometers in length. It has four hooves and claws, wings on its back, and is covered in Black Scale Armor. It is the Protector Beast God of the Monster Race, the Lord of Youmo.

The Lord of Youmo received the news immediately after the Venerable Zhaoshi's fall. However, she did not expect that the Venerable Zhaoshi's assassination attempt had failed.

At this moment, the Lord of Youmo descended upon Bauhinia Island and happened to hear the voice of the Fire-Space Beast God. Naturally, he had to try to stop it.

It should be noted that Venerable Zhaoshi was assassinating the King Shenwei on his orders, and if he were to be hunted down by the Ancestral God Religion as a result, he would have to continue to make up for their losses.

"What? Lord of Youmo, are you planning to take matters into your own hands now that you've seen the Venerable Zhaoshi's assassination attempt fail?" the Fire-Space Beast God said in a deep voice.

Although the Venerable Zhaoshi is the Beast God Inheritor of the Ancestral God Religion, he has always followed the Lord of Youmo within the Ancestral God Religion. His willingness to assassinate Yang Wu now must be due to the latter's instructions.

If it were any other successor, the Fire-Space Beast God would certainly give the Lord of Youmo face.

But this King Shenwei is different!

Thousands of years ago, the Fire-Space Beast God had already received instructions from the Three Ancestral Gods to pay close attention to this King Shenwei.

It should be noted that even the King Zhuchong, who ranks among the top three among the current Immortal Level Beast God Inheritor, and even the more stunning Venerable Ziyu, have never received such treatment.

That's why the Fire-Space Beast God showed absolutely no respect to the Lord of Youmo.

"Fire-Space Beast God, you exaggerate!" the Lord of Youmo said in a deep voice, "How could I openly violate the rules of the Ancestral God Religion? It's just that..."

"Although such assassinations are rare, they are not without precedent! Since the Venerable Zhaoshi has already been killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, it would be fine to refuse him from Ancestral God Religion in the future, Wei He send powerful experts to hunt him down?"

As the Lord of Youmo, he was assassinated by Machine Race Universe Venerable within the Ancestral God Religion during his rise to power, but the Ancestral God Religion did not place such importance on him back then as it does now!

"Lord of Youmo!" The Fire-Space Beast God's voice grew increasingly cold. "Are you questioning my decision?"

Although the Lord of Youmo was also Universe Master, the Fire-Space Beast God did not take him seriously.

After all, in terms of strength, the Fire-Space Beast God, who has already obtained the title of Beast God, can fully unleash fourth-tier combat power, while the Lord of Youmo is only at the second tier.

In terms of background, the Ancestral God Religion, as the number one power in the Primal Universe, is naturally stronger than the Monster Race Alliance.

As for the Lord of Youmo's status Protector Beast God, he can only be considered an outer force of the Ancestral God Religion. How can he be compared to a formal member like him?

"How could that be?" The Lord of Youmo looked at the Fire-Space Beast God with icy eyes and said, "Since you, Fire-Space Beast God, have made your decision, I naturally will not question it!"

Of course, although he said that, the Lord of Youmo sneered inwardly.

"He's just a lucky one who obtained the title of Beast God; he'll never have the chance to become the Universe Supreme Being!"

"Hmph! Even the Eight Beast Gods were besieged and killed, so what are you?"

"Just wait! When my Monster Race produces another Universe Supreme Being, let's see if the Ancestral God Religion Sect can still hold onto its position as the number one power in the universe!"

It's important to know that the Monster Race boasts two of the Universe Supreme Being. What other force in the entire Primal Universe can rival them?

Although the Ancestral God Religion has Three Ancestral Gods, the Lord of Youmo is well aware that these Three Ancestral Gods are actually just a few exceptionally powerful Universe Master!

The Lord of Youmo sneered inwardly as he glanced in the direction of Yang Wu.

Although he dared not attack the King Shenwei within the Ancestral God Religion, he could still investigate some of the other party's methods.

After all, even he was quite surprised that the opponent was able to withstand the full force of the Venerable Zhaoshi's attack.

But the moment he sensed Yang Wu's strength, he suddenly froze.

"Immortal... gods?"

The Lord of Youmo was slightly taken aback, then asked Yang Wu in a deep voice, "Human, you've actually broken through?"

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Yang Wu also looked at the Lord of Youmo in the void, his eyes showing no fear and his heart filled with disdain.

This Lord of Youmo is merely a second-tier Universe Master. Once he becomes Universe Master, he can easily suppress the other party!

"However, even if he becomes Immortal God, it's unlikely he could emerge unscathed from the Venerable Zhaoshi's attack!" The Lord of Youmo looked at Yang Wu with icy eyes, pondering to himself.

In the eyes of the Lord of Youmo, he was quite clear about the true nature of the King Shenwei.

Although the other party's Life Gene Level reached a hundred times, it was still far inferior to that of a unique and Special Lifeform.

The Venerable Zhaoshi is High-Level Universe Venerable. Its full-force attack, fueled by divine power, would be impossible for even a heaven-defying Special Lifeform like the King Zhuchong to withstand unscathed. How could a human possibly manage it?

"Could it be that this King Shenwei possesses some precious treasure?"

With this in mind, the Lord of Youmo began to carefully examine all information about Yang Wu.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Treasure was not activated, and its power was contained, so he was unable to determine its exact value.

When he arrived, the battle between Yang Wu and the Venerable Zhaoshi had already ended, so he naturally couldn't determine how Yang Wu had managed to block such a powerful attack.

"Lord of Youmo!" the Fire-Space Beast God said in a deep voice, "Since you have nothing else to say, you should leave my Bauhinia Island!"

"Hmph!" The Lord of Youmo snorted coldly, and then his figure vanished instantly.

He needed to return and discuss with the other Universe Master within his clan to see if there were any ways to continue targeting that King Shenwei.

"Disperse, everyone!"

After the Lord of Youmo departed, the Fire-Space Beast God looked down at the countless inheritors below, his voice resounding throughout the entire island. "Remember this... the King Shenwei is the Beast God Inheritor of my Ancestral God Religion Sect. Anyone who attempts to assassinate him within my Ancestral God Religion will be hunted down by the powerful figures of my Ancestral God Religion!"

"Yes!" Countless inheritors on Bauhinia Island responded respectfully.

Immediately, the Fire-Space Beast God in the sky vanished into thin air. He was heading to the Ancestral God Palace to discuss the next steps with the Three Ancestral Gods.

After the Lord of Youmo and the Fire-Space Beast God had both disappeared, the previously silent inheritors finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Didn't that Venerable Zhaoshi assassinate the King Shenwei? Something similar happened in the history of the Ancestral God Religion, but the Ancestral God Religion didn't pursue him afterward!"

"Yes! I remember countless years ago, when the Lord of Youmo was still Immortal God, he was assassinated by Universe Venerable from the Machine Race Alliance, but the Ancestral God Religion didn't react much! This time, even if the Venerable Zhaoshi is resurrected, he will still be hunted down by the Ancestral God Religion's experts. He's really unlucky!"

"Don't you understand this? What a bunch of idiots! The Ancestral God Religion's behavior is definitely due to their special treatment of that King Shenwei! That King Shenwei has only cultivated for a few thousand years, yet he has already achieved such strength. It's not surprising that he receives such treatment within the Ancestral God Religion!"

"That's right! With the terrifying speed of King Shenwei's cultivation, he will probably become Universe Venerable very soon, and even becoming the Universe Master would be very easy. No wonder the Ancestral God Religion treats him specially!"

"Yes, perhaps in the endless years to come, the Ancestral God Religion Sect will have another Protector God Lord!"

The numerous inheritors from countless races across the universe conversed with each other, then departed in groups of three or five, transforming into Flowing Light.

For most of them, the struggle between the Four Peak Races was just a spectacle, since none of them were clans they could afford to provoke.

Only the powerful members of the Zerg Race and Machine Race were deeply agitated.

After all, the appearance of the King Shenwei was a great threat to them.

"Since I cannot kill that King Shenwei, I should go and report back to Lord of Yutu!" Venerable Jueguang looked at Yang Wu, feeling a sense of relief.

Yang Wu also saw Venerable Jueguang, who had not yet left. Yang Wu still had a deep impression of this Universe Venerable who had once tried to assassinate him.

"Just wait, none of you will escape!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Venerable Jueguang seemed to have noticed Yang Wu's gaze as well, and immediately snorted coldly before transforming into Flowing Light and disappearing.

This photo and the previous one were supposed to be together, but I've been too busy these past few days, so I have to put them apart.
