Both the Monster Race and the Zerg dispatched powerful figures, but these were all Venerable from Alien Races, not from their own. Even so, they still had to pay a price to these Alien Race; if they were too domineering and bullied Alien Race, the alliance would likely have collapsed long ago. Among the Three Great Peak Races, only the Machine Race sent an assassin— High Venerable from within their own Machine Race, and the strongest one in the Ancestral God Religion —which was enough to demonstrate their high regard for Lu Yan'an!

Besides the High Venerable each sent by the Machine Race, the Zerg, and the Monster Race to keep watch, other powerful figures from various super forces were also silently observing. They didn't interfere, but they didn't mind watching the drama unfold. These forces had long guessed that the Three Great Peak Races would definitely not stand idly by and watch this incredibly powerful King Huanshi from the Human Race grow stronger. Cultivation is nothing compared to watching a show; everyone was waiting for this grand assassination to begin.

Let's see which of these Four Peak Races is the most ruthless.

Waiting silently.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

The three Venerable, including the Venerable Jiaxie, who were hidden in the King Huanshi Mansion and could easily observe it, along with other powerful figures from various forces, all possessed remarkable patience.

"After fighting for so long, the King Huanshi is probably exhausted and will come out after a short rest." It has to be said that their guess was very accurate. Lu Yan'an was indeed in a deep sleep, in order to recover his energy.

One day, two days, three days...

The long wait left the Universe Venerable and Feng Wang who were watching speechless. No matter how patient they were, they couldn't stand the fact that Lu Yan'an didn't make a single move!

"Does the King Huanshi intend to stay cooped up in his mansion on Zijing Island forever and never leave? But he still needs to receive the inheritance, which requires going to the Inheritance Passage in front of the Island Master Palace. He definitely needs to leave the mansion." The Alien Race were all suspicious, but the fact was that Lu Yan'an had not come out.

As time went by, these powerful figures who had intended to watch the show were rendered speechless by Lu Yan'an's Old Six's behavior. Many of the Alien Race cursed inwardly, "Damn human, what a coward! He's been hiding in his mansion and hasn't come out. I don't believe you can resist going to the Inheritance Land with so many Glory Point!"

Amidst the grumbling and cursing, these people gradually left. After all, they belonged to different factions and had to do some serious business; wasting so much time watching a show was simply not worthwhile.

One year, two years, three years...

One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years...

Meanwhile, the Venerable Jiaxie, who had been temporarily residing in another inheritor's residence, had been watching Lu Yan'an's residence with undivided attention for a full ten years, holding his breath and focusing intently on it. While everyone else was distracted by other matters, he alone kept his eyes fixed on the gate of Lu Yan'an's residence. Focus was a quality that a Venerable of the Machine Race had in abundance!

"You will leave that door one day," the Venerable Jiaxie said coldly and intently. It was fully aware of the extent of Lu Yan'an's threat to the entire Machine Race, which was why it kept a close watch on him. "You may need some time to organize your Law Comprehension you've accumulated over this period, but you will go eventually!"

Nine hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hahaha, nine hundred years of enlightenment, especially those more than 2,000 battles, have been incredibly beneficial to me. With constant reflection, my progress in the laws has been astonishing. My Way of the Beast God is already at its limit, just shy of the Fifth Level perfection, with no room for further improvement!" Lu Yan'an exclaimed joyfully. "Moreover, the Law of Time is now only one step away from reaching perfection."

Lu Yan'an originally cultivated the Fusion Laws. With his talent in the Law of Time, if he had only cultivated the Law of Time, he would probably have already become Universe Venerable! But he did not want to waste the convenience of Law Comprehension during his time as World Lord, which is why he has been slow to break through to Immortality.

While immortality grants eternal life, and even allows one's combat power to surge to the level of Overlord in an instant, the time required for comprehending other lower-level laws will become incredibly long. Consequently, the goal of gaining the recognition of the Eight Lower Origin Laws Origin of Laws become increasingly distant.

In terms of understanding and integration, he naturally gained a deeper understanding of time, and was able to apply what he learned to other situations. He also made significant progress in understanding space.

"God King Qi once said that one must fully comprehend these Ten Origin Laws at the level of Universe Master, and then attempt to construct Heart of the True God based on the Space-Time Fusion Law when breaking through to the True God stage in order to receive his inheritance. So, once I break through this Beast God Inheritance to the sixth level and complete the gestation of the World Tree Clone, I will begin to consider comprehending the remaining seven Lower Origin Law."

In fact, Lu Yan'an could gradually fulfill these requirements after breaking through to become Universe Master. However, compared to the convenience of being World Lord, it would take an incredibly long Years to comprehend these requirements after breaking through to become Universe Master, which Lu Yan'an considered to be a very low-cost-performance matter!

"Never mind! If I really encounter some insurmountable problems that require an immediate breakthrough, then there's nothing I can do. Since I can still stay at the World Lord level, why think so much?"

Lu Yan'an suddenly stood up.

"It's time to go out."

"If I go to receive the inheritance now, I believe I will definitely be able to break through to the sixth level of the Beast God Inheritance in one fell swoop." Lu Yan'an looked at the gate of his mansion in the distance.

A moment later.

"Squeak!" In the silence, Lu Yan'an opened the gate of his mansion and walked out with a smile. At this moment, apart from the Venerable Jiaxie of the Machine Race, no other inheritor was watching the gate of Lu Yan'an's mansion. Even the other two Universe Venerable were preparing to assassinate him were arranged intelligent machines or servants.

"He's out, the King Huanshi has emerged."

"Master, wake up! That human has come out of the mansion!"

In the other two mansions on Zijing Island, both Alien Race Universe Venerable were suddenly awakened. Other Alien Race inheritors who had sent servants or AI to monitor the situation also instantly realized— the King Huanshi had left his mansion!

"Human King Huanshi, after 900 years, you have finally stepped out of your mansion..." The Venerable Jiaxie's voice was extremely calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the chilling killing intent and the determination to die beneath its words!

He had waited 900 years for this moment. But as a powerful being who had traversed the universe for many years, his sixth sense keenly detected that the King Huanshi before him was not so simple.

He hesitated for only a moment, and the next instant, a surge of divine power quietly bloomed before his eyes.

As Lu Yan'an walked out of the mansion gate with a smile, he casually waved his sleeve, and the gate slammed shut.

Without warning, a huge figure appeared in front of him, and the arrival of this uninvited guest was definitely not a good thing!

Clad in earthen-yellow armor, it carried three heads on its shoulders. The newcomer was none other than "Bula Venerable," an assassin from a subordinate clan of the Monster Race. Only when it was close to Lu Yan'an did it unleash its terrifying killing intent and divine power! Boom... This Venerable assassin, renowned for its speed, pounced directly at Lu Yan'an without hesitation. Its speed was extreme, and at the same time, its body instantly erupted with an aura that shook the surrounding heaven and earth, its aura increasing a thousandfold in an instant.

The Divine Body has already burned!

"Um?"

The moment the Venerable Jiaxie sensed this fluctuation of divine power, he abruptly stopped his actions, turning his gaze forward and staring intently at the two figures on the battlefield.

"So Bula Venerable is also going to assassinate the King Huanshi?" Venerable Jiaxie was secretly shocked. "I'll observe first. Bula Venerable's assassination attempt will probably fail. But it's alright, I'll finish him off the moment he fails, that way I'll ensure everything goes smoothly." After a moment's thought, Venerable Jiaxie devised the best follow-up assassination plan based on the current situation, relying on its incredibly powerful computing ability to try and kill Lu Yan'an!

As for the Five-Colored Aurora Lake? What a joke! It's not afraid of death, so what else could it possibly care about? Its ultimate goal is only one thing— Lu Yan'an's death!
