Lu Yan'an had just closed the gates of his residence when he was instantly attacked by Bula Venerable Burning Divine Body.

"Can't hold back anymore?" Lu Yan'an scanned the area with his Spiritual Force and instantly detected the uninvited guest's attack. A smile appeared on his lips. However, he didn't stop moving. With a light step, he instantly left the location of the mansion. However, although he dodged the physical attack, the attack on his soul was an area-of-effect attack.

"Boom!"

A surge of Virtual God Power instantly entered Lu Yan'an's mind. Under the influence of burning divine power, this Virtual God Power attempted to forcibly control Lu Yan'an. However, even after circulating within his body, the Virtual God Power still failed to reach the "Life Core" within him, which represented the Life Core.

"I knew you'd pull this assassination attempt. Can't you come up with something new?" As a master of fishing, how could Lu Yan'an not have a backup plan for this kind of soul-based technique? That Virtual God Power, unable to find its Life Core, could only circulate within Lu Yan'an's body before slowly dissipating. Invasion? Impossible! His Time Demon Beast Clone didn't even have a soul, so what use would Soul Attack be?

When Bula Venerable, who had already located Lu Yan'an, saw that Lu Yan'an was completely unaffected by his Soul Attack, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It seemed quite surprised that this little fellow, who was merely World Lord, hadn't even flinched in the face of its Soul Attack. Keep in mind, it was Universe Venerable, and even burning its divine power hadn't allowed it to successfully control it.

"Boom!"

The previously tranquil Five-Colored Aurora Lake Zijing Island suddenly trembled, followed by a streak of Aurora rapidly swooping down. But how could Bula Venerable, who had long since disregarded life and death, be afraid of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake? Facing the impending attack, he focused all his attention on Lu Yan'an, especially the killing intent in his eyes, which appeared even more frenzied and terrifying in the face of life and death!

"Die." It stretched out its hand.

Boom! Boom!

A wave of law emanated from its palm, and then its range rapidly expanded. In a short while, it enveloped Lu Yan'an, who had just dodged the attack.

Lu Yan'an's movement technique was fast, and it contained the profound mysteries of the Time Law, but how could it compare to the final, resentful strike of a Universe Venerable had burned away a massive amount of Divine Body before his death?

As brilliant as stars, as swift as lightning.

The speed was so fast that Lu Yan'an's body couldn't react at all before he was hit head-on! Just how terrifying was the attack of a high-level Universe Venerable who risked his life? Now, Lu Yan'an, who was facing this terrifying attack, was the most qualified to answer that question.

He didn't even have time to react before he was met head-on by the attack. There was no possibility of resisting; Lu Yan'an's body, at the World Lord Level, was instantly disintegrated into the finest particles by this violent divine power. This was an irreversible and destructive attack from the smallest detail. Let alone Lu Yan'an being just a World Lord, even if Lu Yan'an had already achieved Undying Body, he would still have to put in a lot of effort to recover.

The Bula Venerable, who had completely annihilated Lu Yan'an, seemed to have gone mad. Not satisfied with annihilating Lu Yan'an, he began attacking his buildings.

In an instant, that terrifying Virtual God Power acted upon the structure Lu Yan'an had built. How terrifying was that divine power? Its corrosive force instantly corroded and destroyed the outer layer of Lu Yan'an's structure. It was the power of a Universe Venerable burning his divine power.

"Boom..."

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a streak of multicolored Aurora rapidly descended. Compared to the multicolored Aurora that filled the sky, it appeared particularly pathetic. But in Bula Venerable's eyes, it was incomparably beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful!

The Aurora automatically locked onto it from the moment it made its move, even completely locking down the space around it. As the Aurora descended, Bula Venerable's sixth sense began to desperately warn him, a sense of impending death quietly emerging. This is why he seemed reckless in his subsequent attacks. After all, it was already too late; this was the area controlled by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake!

"Hahaha... Come on! Let me see the Supreme True Treasure of the Ancestral God Religion! To die at the hands of this Supreme True Treasure would not be a disgrace to me, Bula! Hahahaha..." Bula Venerable roared wildly, his eyes fixed on the falling multicolored Aurora. His spiritual senses were screaming madly, announcing that death was imminent.

The Aurora originally spanned over 10,000 kilometers, but as it fell, it shrank continuously until it reached Bula Venerable's eyes, at which point it appeared to be about the same size as his Divine Body.

Puff!

The Aurora instantly annihilated Bula Venerable's Divine Body, turning it into cosmic dust. Just as Lu Yan'an's body had been annihilated by Bula Venerable's resentful attack, before the boundless power of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, Bula Venerable was as frail as a World Lord, instantly vanishing without a trace! And the Aurora, having completed its mission, once again soared into the sky...

Fly back into the high sky, amidst the countless Aurora.

Everything returned to calm.

The colorful Aurora above Zijing Island continued to fly calmly, and the walls surrounding Lu Yan'an's residence on Zijing Island, which had been annihilated by the divine power of Bula Venerable, were instantly restored to their original state, as if nothing had ever happened there. Everyone knew that this was a great power from the Primal Universe.

Is he dead?

Watching this scene from afar, Venerable Jiaxie was astonished by the power of the Five-Colored Aurora. A single Aurora instantly annihilated a Universe Venerable who Burning Divine Body! The Five-Colored Aurora Lake, a Supreme Treasure, possessed an almost inexhaustible amount of Aurora. It was hailed as one of the Supreme True Treasure in the universe and was also a treasure protecting the Ancestral God Religion Supreme Treasure. The power of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake was indeed terrifying.

The Venerable Jiaxie gazed at the terrifying scene before him, yet showed no emotional fluctuation. It was far from time to celebrate its victory. Although Lu Yan'an appeared to have been completely annihilated by Bula Venerable's hateful attack, this was precisely its greatest weakness!

It's important to understand that Lu Yan'an, the Illusionary King, possessed at least two supreme treasures, based on analysis alone. Yet, after his demise, no supreme treasures were lost, which speaks volumes. To say that a high-level Venerable's full-force attack could instantly annihilate two high-level supreme treasures is nothing short of a fantasy.

In the original work, the ancient ship "Galaxy," a top-tier Flying Palace-type Heavy Treasure obtained by City Lord Luo, is comparable in quality to Ordinary Supreme Treasure and requires the strength of Universe Master to destroy. To say that a Venerable's resentful strike could destroy Supreme Treasure would be laughable.

"This King Huanshi must have Clone!" Venerable Jiaxie murmured. "Now we just need to see when it appears. Don't rush, I have plenty of time!"

"No matter who it is, after surviving an assassination attempt, they will subconsciously believe that a second attempt is unlikely in the near future! This period is the most suitable time for an assassination, according to the system's database analysis! I must seize this opportunity."

Venerable Jiaxie held immense respect for Bula Venerable's fearless spirit, though his methods were certainly not commendable. However, it was precisely because of his sacrifice that the groundwork was laid for his assassination attempt; now everything was ready except for the final push!

Meanwhile, the Alien Race, having received news of Bula Venerable's assassination attempt, immediately relayed the information from the scene.

"The King Huanshi is dead."

"He just died like that?"

"Completely annihilated into nothingness, utterly dead."

These inheritors were somewhat stunned, but as excellent bystanders, they immediately began to relay the message to their own factions.
