The First Battle Against Mantu Divine General

"I didn't expect a World Lord to possess a miniature detector. I underestimated you!" Mantu Divine General smiled sinisterly. "But even if you have a detector, so what? No matter how sophisticated the instrument, it's simply impossible for it to detect my energy reaction from a distance of a billion kilometers!"

"By the time you realize what's happening, I'll have already Teleportation in front of you and Space Lockdown! Where can you run to?" With that, he activated his Teleportation. The distance of a billion kilometers was almost instantaneous for Venerable's control over space.

"Blockade!"

Looking at Lu Yan'an who was flying rapidly ahead, the Mantu Divine General immediately cast Space Lockdown, instantly stopping the spatial fluctuations in almost half of the Huangshi Island.

"Bring it on!"

Whoosh! Mantu Divine General charged ahead towards the figure speeding away into the distance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Not good." The moment he sensed the Space Lockdown, Lu Yan'an's figure froze, and his Spiritual Force began to spread outwards. Immediately, his Spiritual Force felt a powerful pressure rushing towards him. He turned around abruptly and saw a Venerable One, nearly three hundred meters tall, dressed in snow-white battle armor, charging towards him. Thousands of horizontal eyes were densely packed on its head. These eyes were currently closed, faintly emitting fluctuations in spacetime. Only the central eye was open, staring intently at Lu Yan'an.

"The Mantu Divine General." Lu Yan'an was startled. He knew that the most famous Special Lifeform on Zijing Island were all described in the information collected by King Limeng and King Tianxuan. The Mantu Divine General was a key figure in their information.

The Mantu Divine General is skilled in investigation and soul manipulation, and is inherently ruthless and cruel.

With a "whoosh!" Lu Yan'an's toes swung lightly, and the fluctuations of the Time Law around him began to become active. The next moment, his speed suddenly soared.

"Haha, King Huanshi, you think you can escape from me? Haha, I am a Universe Overlord, renowned for my reconnaissance abilities, and I am born with Life Gene Level 1500 times higher. I am fast, and my Divine Body far surpasses yours. Let's see who is faster, you or me." The Mantu Divine General also increased his speed, chasing after Lu Yan'an.

The Mantu Divine General a powerful Divine Body, with a life level 1500 times that of a normal strong person. Generally speaking, the limit of a human who has reached the Feng Wang level is 100,000 times the World Lord Power. Before breaking through to the Venerable, the Mantu Divine General already possessed a full 150 million times the World Lord Power, making it very easy for it to confront Universe Venerable head-on. It is precisely because of this that it possessed the combat power of a hegemon as soon as it broke through to Overlord Venerable level!

His immense strength, enormous Divine Body, and exceptional speed made him an all-around, multi-talented warrior.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The speed of the Mantu Divine General to increase.

Lu Yan'an's speed also continued to increase.

"What?" Lu Yan'an was shocked to discover that even though he had desperately mobilized the power of the Law of Time to use his movement technique, he had not only failed to create distance in the first instance, but the Mantu Divine General was also constantly closing in.

"If conventional methods can't shake this guy off, should we try some unconventional methods?" Lu Yan'an admitted that he had underestimated this Mantu Divine General. The Kong Yu Clone the Space Ring had already made preparations. The Innate Secret Technique "Space Control" was activated instantly, and all spatial fluctuations within a radius of 100,000 kilometers centered on himself were under his control.

Ultimately, however, Lu Yan'an did not choose to flee immediately. The reason was quite simple: his purpose in coming to this Ancestral God Secret Region for exploration was to gain experience. Since he could ensure that he could escape at any time without leaving any trouble, wouldn't such an Overlord opponent be the best test of his abilities?

Thinking of this, the chaotic time fluctuations around Lu Yan'an instantly calmed down, and he stopped moving as well.

The pursuing Mantu Divine General saw Lu Yan'an's footsteps quietly halt ahead. The next moment, a surge of Spiritual Force erupted from its body, thoroughly surveying the space-time within a ten-thousand-mile radius of Lu Yan'an. After confirming there was nothing amiss, the Mantu Divine General transmitted its voice. "Human, Supreme Treasure —you, a mere World Lord, are not worthy of it. I am a powerful Special Lifeform of the universe, and only I deserve such Supreme Treasure. Hand over the Supreme Treasure, and I will spare your life."

Boom!

The aura of the Mantu Divine General suddenly surged, its power overwhelming Lu Yan'an, subtly mixed with attacks on his soul. In its eyes, Lu Yan'an was now just a piece of meat on its chopping block, unable to cause any trouble no matter what! Naturally, it revealed its greedy and cruel side when facing Lu Yan'an.

"Not good." Lu Yan'an's expression changed. This kind of method of crushing with momentum is the most ruthless. His combat strength is not bad, but he has no good way to avoid this difference from the source of life. He can only grit his teeth and endure this blow.

Mantu Divine General, as Candidate Divine General, signifies that he has reached the pinnacle in one of the 72 types of Divine General Inheritance. Firstly, his "Soul Amplitude" has reached the maximum value of 100 times. Secondly, he has also learned a set of special attacks unique to Divine General... The power of this attack is even stronger than the Innate Secret Technique of many Special Lifeform! As the ultimate secret technique of Divine General Inheritance... it is definitely a secret technique at the level of Universe Master in terms of the sophistication of secret techniques!

On paper, the strength of the Mantu Divine General is on par with that of the previous Yi Venerable, and his life gene is also 1500 times greater.

As Universe Venerable, he was already hundreds of times stronger than the Immortal Limit, so his Divine Body World Lord Power! It's worth noting that 100 million times the World Lord Power was enough to barely contend with Elementary Universe Venerable, while exceeding 15 billion times the World Lord Power was enough to barely qualify him as Overlord. Add to that the secret techniques he cultivated at the Universe Master level and the Supreme Treasure he possessed, and he wouldn't be considered weak even among Universe Overlord; by analogy, he was roughly at the level of "Xidoro" from the Golden Horn Race in the original work.

Divine Body is Strong!

The Soul Amplitude has reached its limit!

Willpower and consciousness are at the level of Universe Overlord!

This is a secret technique, a secret technique at the level of Universe Master!

Lu Yan'an's strength on paper is nowhere near the level of this Mantu Divine General...

"Hold head high..."

It appears to be silent.

The moment the attack struck his Divine Body, Lu Yan'an felt that every inch of the World Energy in his body was being attacked. This was an extremely sophisticated and ruthless method that directly attacked the "Life Imprint" in divine power. If all the Life Imprint were destroyed, then Lu Yan'an's soul would naturally be completely destroyed as well.

"Destroy!"

"Destroy!" Lu Yan'an, his powerful consciousness and the Heart Power surrounding him being mobilized by his will.

Heart Power, being an extremely special force, instantly protected Lu Yan'an's body, resisting the onslaught of the Mantu Divine General no matter how fierce the attacks were. Although the difference between Lu Yan'an and the Mantu Divine General was significant, without Heart Power, this single attack would likely have been enough to completely disintegrate Lu Yan'an's Divine Body!

The next moment, the previously dormant Soul-type Supreme Treasure "Chen Meng" in his sea of consciousness suddenly burst forth with dazzling light! Wherever the light shone, the Virtual God Power that was originally locked in a stalemate with his Heart Power instantly melted away like snow! This is why Soul-type Supreme Treasure are so coveted!

"What? It was blocked?" Mantu Divine General shocked. The fact that the World Lord could block his vicious attack was only a theoretical possibility, but today it had actually happened before his eyes!

"Supreme Treasure! It must be a soul-type Supreme Treasure!" The next moment, Mantu Divine General realized what was happening, and his gaze towards Lu Yan'an became even more fervent. He hadn't expected that his detection technique, "Kaleidoscope," would bring him such a huge surprise! His previously nonchalant attitude had now turned into serious consideration.

It's important to understand that Supreme Treasure battle armor generally only weakens Soul Attack. Soul-type Supreme Treasure, however, are completely protective! If Supreme Treasure like "flying palaces" are heaven-defying Supreme Treasure that resist physical attacks, then Soul-type Supreme Treasure are heaven-defying Supreme Treasure that protect the soul. Comparatively, Soul-type Supreme Treasure are more coveted by powerful individuals.

"Thank you for nature's bounty!" The greed in Mantu Divine General's heart was now completely ignited!
