"Lu Yan'an, you're dead, you're dead!" Under the protective shield activated by the Tianyu Race's secret technique, the King Luanyu's consciousness roared.

But it was all for naught; he was instantly pulverized. Even everything on his body was dissolved into particles by the Bai Huanghuang light!

Although this secret technique was his trump card, it was still a self-destructing Fire God Source Crystal at the King Level, with a certain probability of killing Peak King expert. Even though its power was weakened by the secret technique, the remaining power was more than enough to eliminate a high-level Feng Wang! In addition, since King Luanyu was within the strongest blast radius, he was naturally and instantly shattered, and even his Immortal Divine Body was completely annihilated!

Similarly, Lu Yan'an's body was also dissolved into a stream of particles by this incredibly terrifying light! Even though he avoided the strongest explosion range of tens of thousands of kilometers at the very core, the fluctuations hundreds of thousands of kilometers away were not to be underestimated! You must know that even Pluto, hundreds of billions of kilometers away, had its orbital trajectory deviated due to the spread of the Fire God Source Crystal. How could Lu Yan'an, a Domain Lord, possibly escape unscathed!

The devastating Bai Huanghuang light enveloped him and instantly dissolved him into a stream of particles!

Both King Luanyu and Lu Yan'an simultaneously became part of the universe!

At this moment, the original orbit of the Yuan Planet in the Solar System has been lost. With the explosion of the Fire God Source Crystal, it took all life on Blue Planet with it and turned into a speck of dust in the universe!

As the fluctuations created by the Fire God Source Crystal spread to the edge of the Solar System, the barrier that had been covering the edge of the Solar System was completely torn apart. The "Virtual Universe Vacuum Region" that the King Luanyu had painstakingly created shattered instantly! Lu Yan'an's distress message was also transmitted and delivered to the mailboxes of the City Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Darkness, and even the Venerable Zhouguang!

At this moment, at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, Venerable Zhouguang was in his Temple. Lu Yan'an's belated email arrived in his inbox, and he saw it immediately. He then angrily exclaimed, "How dare they attack and kill a genius of my Virtual Universe Company in the hometown of Core Member! This Giant Axe Dojo is getting increasingly outrageous!"

"But what exactly is the grudge between Luan Yu and Lu Yan'an? How could a powerful Feng Wang expert resort to such despicable tactics to kill a mere Domain Lord? Has he already been enslaved by the Alien Race Soul Enslavement?"

Venerable Zhouguang was utterly perplexed. Aside from the Soul Enslavement of this Alien Race, he couldn't fathom why a Feng Wang expert from the Giant Axe Dojo would resort to such a ruthless attack on a renowned genius within his own clan! Moreover, the two had never even met before.

"However, no matter what, every genius is a treasure of my Virtual Universe Company. Whatever the reason, it's a mistake for them to take action!"

Immediately, Venerable Zhouguang summoned his immortal army, and thousands of immortals quickly arrived at the Temple. Venerable Zhouguang said, "You must immediately proceed to Earth and ensure Lu Yan'an's safety."

It's important to understand that the nature of this matter is extremely heinous! If it's ultimately discovered that the King Luanyu's assassination was carried out after he was enslaved by Alien Race Soul Enslavement, then it's somewhat better; but if it was merely his personal act, then the nature of this matter is far more egregious. At best, it's a personal grudge; at worst, it's a ticking time bomb hidden between the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Dojo!

If the top-ranking Feng Wang of different factions within the human race all resort to such tactics, arbitrarily stifling the geniuses of other forces, then what hope is there for the human race to develop? Therefore, the fate of the King Luanyu was actually predetermined when he designed this whole process! If many things are laid out in the open, there is simply no room for behind-the-scenes manipulation.

The King Luanyu is already dead, which is actually the best outcome. If the assassination had been exposed, he would have suffered far more than death! It's fair to say that the King Luanyu single-handedly created a rift in the relationship between the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Dojo! And in the eyes of the highest levels, this is already the worst possible ending!

"Zhouguang! Your people don't need to go!" A hazy voice rang out, and the many immortals within the Zhouguang Temple completely lost their senses the instant the voice appeared!

Upon hearing the voice, Venerable Zhouguang's expression changed, and he quickly replied humbly, "Yes, sir!"

"This is a profound lesson. If you want to pay attention, come along." The voice from the shadows sounded again.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Zhouguang followed without hesitation. Suddenly, he turned to look at his subordinates, who were still in a daze, and after sending a message to them to be sent back, he disappeared completely from the hall.

The universe is infinitely vast and boundless. Even Human Race, Zerg, and Machine Race only occupy a portion of the entire universe. In another distant region of the cosmos, there are also some incredibly powerful races. One of them is God Kingdom hidden in Space Interlayer.

This is a God Kingdom continent filled with black energy.

Inside the majestic black Temple.

"Owner."

A figure shrouded in black mist knelt respectfully, while on the throne in the cold, desolate hall sat a figure over three thousand meters tall, composed of countless black rocks. Dark red flames swirled around the surface of the rocks, and black flames occasionally spewed from its nostrils.

His two black horns, however, were made of a material that resembled crystal.

He looked down at the tiny, dark figure in the mist below.

"Hmm?" Black flames spewed from the nostrils of the towering figure.

"Master, we've just received intelligence that Lu Yan'an, the peerless genius among the Hong Alliance Human Race whom you previously instructed us to keep an eye on, has been assassinated! We no longer need to waste resources on him." The small figure in the black mist said respectfully. "Oh? How did he die? I remember my previous order was to keep an eye on him, right? Could it be the Zerg?"

The towering figure looked down at the figure emerging from the black mist below. "If this is also the Zerg, then we need to take our assessment of this race to a whole new level!"

A colossal cube, forged from countless crystals, floats within a majestic God Kingdom. The entire cube is approximately 3 million kilometers in diameter and is composed entirely of strange crystals.

At the core of the cube.

A man sat on a jade-green throne. He had a perfect body that seemed to be carved from crystal, and his appearance was very human. There was a golden eye between his eyebrows, and invisible ripples spread from his eye throughout the entire cube with a diameter of 300 kilometers.

"Oh?"

"Lu Yan'an, whom we were following before, has actually been assassinated? Interesting! Who did it?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, judging from the current situation, Lu Yan'an's death was entirely due to internal strife. However, news has also spread that it was likely the work of a Feng Wang who was Soul Enslavement within the Giant Axe Dojo, and that it came at a considerable cost, even costing him his own life!"

"It seems that one of the Three Races —the Zerg, the Monster Race, and the Machine Race— has resorted to underhanded tactics. Trading a hidden Immortal King-level Immortal within the Giant Axe Dojo for a peerless genius, heh, a very successful deal! I never expected they would actually pull it off."

"Interesting, interesting."

"The territories of those Four Peak Races are approaching; the more brutal the battle, the better," the man murmured to himself, then closed his three eyes.

The news of the assassination of Human Race's unparalleled genius spread throughout countless Alien Race in the universe within a single day, and countless races began to secretly rejoice! Judging from Lu Yan'an's current development trend, he would undoubtedly reach the level of Universe Venerable. And now, he has been killed by a mere High King. This deal was undoubtedly a huge profit.

In other words, they were unaware that Lu Yan'an's death was entirely the result of internal strife within the Human Race. Otherwise, the ridicule of the Human Race would have been even more egregious! After all, for a peerless genius of the Human Race to ultimately perish at the hands of his own people—what an absurd turn of events!
