In the starry sky, in a Miniature Universe, the Machine Race Father God received news of the assassination attempt almost simultaneously with Lu Yan'an's death.

"The Bula Race's Bula Venerable actually struck first, obliterating that human brat to ashes, and then was completely annihilated by the Ancestral God Religion's Five-Colored Aurora Lake? That's an ideal scenario, but why is there still no news about that brat with shackles?"

The Machine Race Father God found it strange that the Venerable Jiaxie, also an assassin, hadn't sent any news about the situation on the ground, not even the slightest feedback. Something was amiss.

On Zijing Island, countless figures soared into the air. Almost every inheritor from various races of the universe had left their residences. Just how terrifying was the energy fluctuation generated by Bula Venerable burning his divine power? The Aurora that descended from the Five-Colored Aurora Lake completely sealed off the space. Anyone nearby who was not seriously injured could clearly sense the situation.

"What's going on?" Almost at the same time he sensed the terrifying fluctuations of the Universe Venerable burning divine power at Lu Yan'an's residence, King Tianyu suddenly broke through the air and arrived at a short distance from Lu Yan'an's residence in a Teleportation. The two of them had previously visited that treasure land together and had been threatened by that Monster Race Venerable at the same time. They could be considered to have gone through hardships together, so he knew where Lu Yan'an lived.

When he arrived, Bula Venerable's attack had already completely annihilated Lu Yan'an, so King Tianyu did not see Lu Yan'an. However, he witnessed the Aurora descending and instantly annihilating Bula Venerable. Anyone who saw this scene would have had a terrifying thought arise in their mind.

"Bula Venerable actually attacked my human King Huanshi, and even caused the Five-Colored Aurora Lake to descend?" King Tianyu roared in fury. He looked at the scene before him in disbelief, his mind momentarily blank.

"King Tianyu."

"King Tianyu."

Nearby, the other human Feng Wang who had sensed the Teleportation and teleported over greeted King Tianyu.

"What's going on here? We sensed the unusual activity at the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and immediately set off." They were quite far from Lu Yan'an's residence, so the divine power fluctuations spread rather slowly. By the time they arrived, they hadn't even seen Bula Venerable fall.

"It was Bula Venerable was directly annihilated by the power of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. This is the residence of the King Huanshi, and we don't know his current situation!" King Tianyu composed himself and pointed to the mansion gate on his right, explaining. He also pointed to the items lying on the ground. There weren't many items, and they weren't particularly valuable. The main reason was that Bula Venerable knew he was going to die, and he had already placed some precious treasures elsewhere. Lu Yan'an hadn't left behind any treasures at all.

"It's the Illusionary King!!!" The other human kings of the Hong Alliance were somewhat stunned. They had long admired the Illusionary King, Lu Yan'an, but they never expected that he would be assassinated! And by a high-level Venerable who sacrificed his life to create a deadly trap. How could these human powerhouses not feel a sense of empathy?

"The King Huanshi is dead."

"The King Huanshi was killed by Bula Venerable."

From other distant places came the excited voices of other Alien Race conversing. That World Lord, a peerless genius whose name resounded throughout the universe, that human prodigy who, upon entering the Inheritance Land, had fought over 2000 battles and amassed a vast amount of Glory Point, making countless inheritors envious—was he really dead?

This had a tremendous impact on countless inheritors of Alien Race.

"Didn't everyone say that the King Huanshi possessed at least two Supreme Treasure? But why did he leave nothing behind after his demise? Did he perhaps store all the Supreme Treasure in his residence beforehand?"

Soon, many powerful beings from Alien Race realized what was happening. "That's right! Where is humanity's Supreme Treasure? Could it really be hidden in its residence?" The group then turned their gazes to Lu Yan'an's dwelling, their burning stares seeming to consume everything in their presence. The small courtyard now held the attention of everyone present.

Many Alien Race inheritors who had just learned of the killing of the King Huanshi were still somewhat excited, but then they heard countless exclamations of surprise. Even many Universe Venerable watching from afar stared intently at the gate of Lu Yan'an's residence.

The allure of Supreme Treasure is terrifying.

"That's Supreme Treasure. If I could obtain Supreme Treasure, even if I never come to this Inheritance Land again, it would be worth it." The countless inheritors floating in mid-air, along with numerous Universe Venerable, were all staring at the mansion, eager to make their move.

"Fellow inheritors," suddenly, King Tianyu landed in front of Lu Yan'an's mansion and called out loudly, "The King Huanshi is not dead, and his residence must not be entered without permission. Entering without authorization is tantamount to illegal intrusion. I believe you inheritors are more aware than I of the rules of the Ancestral God Religion. It is strictly forbidden to enter private residences here. If you enter without the owner's permission, you will be annihilated by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

Tens of millions of inheritors filled the sky, staring intently at King Tianyu, who was standing at the entrance of Lu Yan'an's residence trying to dissuade the crowd. With tens of millions of eyes on him, even as a powerful Invincible King, King Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive!

"The King Huanshi isn't dead? How do you know King Huanshi isn't dead? I personally witnessed King Huanshi being completely annihilated!" A Monster Race inheritor's voice boomed. These words caused an uproar among the tens of millions of inheritors present. Many had only just arrived and genuinely didn't know what had happened, but after hearing the Monster Race inheritor's words, they suddenly understood.

"Our Human Race naturally has ways to confirm his life or death!" Seeing that the crowd seemed on the verge of rioting, King Tianyu continued to appease them while glancing at the Monster Race inheritor, "Bei Venerable, do you think everyone is a fool? Heh, you just want some cannon fodder to go in and die, to test whether King Huanshi is really dead? If you dare, then come and try. What kind of person is it to incite others to die!"

The King Tianyu's voice echoed above Zijing Island, directly targeting the Bei Venerable had just spoken. The disdain in his words caused all the inheritors present to hesitate. Indeed! If one were to enter the residence of a deceased inheritor, then that residence would be unclaimed and naturally one could enter. But if an inheritor was still alive, and one entered without permission, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake would instantly annihilate that person!

"Heh, that's interesting. You really thought I wouldn't dare?"

Whoosh!

The figure of the Bei Venerable rushed directly towards the mansion in front of the King Tianyu.

"Fortune favors the bold. I've been stuck at the final step for billions of years with no success, so I might as well take a gamble! I watched the King Huanshi be annihilated before my very eyes, completely obliterated. How can I trust this guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere? If the King Huanshi is truly dead, and I obtain the treasures he left behind, hmph, as an inheritor, the other inheritors won't dare attack me. I'll turn the tables in one fell swoop. The value of this Supreme Treasure alone can allow me and my clan to exchange for numerous resources and treasures, and perhaps even advance further."

A streak of black Flowing Light flashed and arrived in front of the mansion.

"No!" King Tianyu cried out.

"Oh no, he's gotten ahead of us." Some of the inheritors, who were greedy yet hesitant, were immediately annoyed and followed suit.

"The treasure is mine!" Just as the figure of the Bei Venerable stepped into Lu Yan'an's residence, an invisible force instantly froze the surrounding space, just as it had prevented the Bula Venerable from escaping before.

"No!!! How is this possible?? I clearly saw with my own eyes that the King Huanshi was completely annihilated by Bula Venerable!" Bei Venerable's figure sensed that the spatial fluctuations had been locked, and immediately let out a shrill roar.

He was unwilling to accept this outcome! It was truly dramatic that he had schemed and plotted so much only to end up like this.

"Stop!"

Similarly, only a streak of Aurora rapidly descended from the sky. It should be noted that even the High Venerable Bula Venerable had to close his eyes and await death at the speed of this Five-Colored Aurora Lake; how could Bei Venerable, a mere Elementary Universe Venerable, possibly have time to react?

"Swoosh!" This Aurora was completely different from the one of Bula Venerable. The Aurora instantly pierced through Bei Venerable's Divine Body, and the next moment its body disappeared like a shattered bubble. The Aurora, on the other hand, flew back into the sky and returned to the endless colorful Aurora.

Silence!

The entire Zijing Island was completely silent!
