"Venerable Kangjia has fallen!" Inside a giant Machine Race palace, a group of Machine Race Universe Venerable sat together, and one of the canine Machine Race Overlord suddenly exclaimed.

"How did it perish? Didn't I tell it to go find that weak Venerable at the front? Besides, he was carrying our Machine Race's most advanced detection equipment. It shouldn't have just perished so easily, right?" A Machine Race powerhouse with a gigantic Divine Body and an appearance similar to a Gundam immediately inquired.

"The specifics aren't clear; it only sent over a few words, saying that some kind of 'Universe Master' has personally intervened," the giant dog buzzed. Clearly, this news had also made it impossible for it to remain calm!

"The Universe Master? Are you kidding me? I'd be more inclined to believe you're saying it's Venerable Yantian. He's one of the few terrifying figures among the human race's Universe Overlord. It's reasonable for him to kill Venerable Kangjia, but it's unlikely he only had time to send a single message. After all, his attack was blocked, and with the protection of the Supreme Treasure Armor, Venerable Kangjia should have had a chance to call for help!"

Then the giant dog slowly closed its eyes, gently shook its head to deny its earlier statement, and said softly, "It wasn't Venerable Yantian. Venerable Kangjia definitely knew Venerable Yantian! But according to it, an unknown Universe Master concealed its strength and forced it into a desperate situation, which led to its eventual demise. It also instructed us to avenge it!"

"That's what puzzles me!"

"An unfamiliar Universe Master? How is that possible? Every Universe Master is a trump card of their race, and they wouldn't use it lightly! Moreover, we've only just entered the 'Great Decisive Battle' phase. Even if a Universe Master were to shamelessly hide their identity to hunt them down, they wouldn't target only Venerable Kangjia. After all, although Kangjia is Universe Overlord, his status is only so-so! Exposing one's hidden identity because of him would be putting the cart before the horse."

The Gundam-type Machine Race's Universe Overlord, after a moment of silence, said, "Regardless of the truth, let's first find out the identity of this unfamiliar powerful figure! Right now, everyone is completely in the dark, and guessing won't do any good."

"That's right!" The giant dog sighed. "Finding out the real situation of that person is the most important thing now! In any case, he is a powerful figure who prevented even Kangjia from sending out a distress signal. Even if he is not Universe Master, he is still at the level of the Venerable Yantian. He deserves our serious attention!"

"The Human Race truly has an endless supply of powerful individuals! They already dispatched three Top Universe Overlord to guard this front, and this newly arrived, unfamiliar powerhouse doesn't seem to be one to be trifled with either! The quality of their powerhouses is truly enviable."

After storing the Supreme Treasure Armor he had previously acquired into his Space Ring, Lu Yan'an entered a state of cultivation once again. He wanted to create a secret technique to compensate for the huge consumption of Divine Power Burning.

As for the Supreme Treasure of Venerable Kangjia, he didn't care much... After all, he was currently wearing a Top-tier Supreme Treasure Armor, the Dream God Armor. In terms of strength alone, this high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor probably couldn't even come close. Attacks from beings below the Universe Master could be directly blocked, and if the blocked attack still landed on him, then there was no need to defend.

The attack that he couldn't block would likely deal extremely high damage! In that case, this high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor would be even more useless. All things considered, in Lu Yan'an's hands now, this acquisition can be described as utterly worthless.

His biggest fear now is encountering an enemy of enormous size that is impossible to kill. If the enemy's divine power reserves are greater than those of the Differentiation World Tree within his Internal World, he would be in serious trouble. After all, the divine power reserves of Differentiation entity are far less than the vast Divine Body of the World Tree Clone. In the vast universe, if one were to search, one could indeed find many Special Lifeform larger than his Differentiation World Tree Divine Body.

He hadn't considered this point before, but after learning that Venerable Yantian could use his Strongest Secret Technique tens of thousands of times, he felt a sense of urgency! After all, all his Supreme Treasure were in his main body's hands, and if his Divine Body couldn't outlast the opponent and he were to be worn down to death, it would be a devastating loss!

After Lu Yan'an sat quietly for two hours, the Virtual Intelligent Assistant suddenly said, "Master, enemies are coming again!"

"I didn't expect these guys to move so quickly?" Lu Yan'an's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately began to give orders, "Send a message to Venerable Yantian, telling him to tighten his defenses. I'll go and meet this enemy."

The space around him rippled instantly, and he vanished from his spot in a flash. In an instant, after Teleportation hundreds of times, Lu Yan'an stopped. He had sensed unusual divine power fluctuations, and it seemed that the Venerable was about to arrive.

He could sense that divine power from afar, which was similar to that of Venerable Kangjia.

In fact, one cannot discern the true strength of Venerable without engaging in combat. Their Gene Level is generally between 50 and 100, and their foundation is the power of 10 million Peak World Lord.

That is why it is difficult to judge the strength of a Venerable One simply by observing the fluctuations of divine power, unless they are Special Lifeform.

However, Lu Yan'an knew that the force that came this time was definitely stronger. After all, the author of the Anti-Jia had already perished here, and it still dared to come, which meant that it had absolute confidence.

A moment later, two figures emerged from the ripples in the void.

"I really didn't expect it to be you, the newly risen super genius of the Human Race — the Venerable Huan Shi Lu Yan'an!" A colossal mechanical giant exclaimed in surprise the moment it saw Lu Yan'an.

"So it turns out that Venerable Kangjia perished at your hands. No wonder, tens of thousands of years ago you were able to kill the Mantu Divine General of the Northern Territory Alliance with your Supreme Treasure. Now that so much time has passed, it would be unreasonable for you not to have made progress!" The mechanical giant dog on the right side of the mechanical Gundam also said loudly.

Lu Yan'an narrowed his eyes slightly. He could sense that the divine power emanating from these two Machine Race Venerable was extremely strong. In a one-on-one situation, either of them would be far stronger than the previous Venerable Kangjia. The fact that the two of them had come together was enough to show their respect for Lu Yan'an's strength!

"Oh? Are all you Machine Race so polite now? That's a complete change from how you wanted to kill me the moment we met?"

"Wouldn't this make you feel a little better before you die?" The giant mechanical machine locked onto Lu Yan'an with its divine power. "Venerable Huan Shi, we're not trash like Kang Jia!"

Pre-battle trash talk is never very informative, and it was clear that Lu Yan'an didn't want to waste any more words.

"Enough talk, take this!" Lu Yan'an instantly went from still to nearly light speed and slashed at the giant python.

"You charged in so confidently... wait, why is your aura so powerful after burning your divine power?" The mechanical giant dog roared, and energy orbs appeared around its body, sweeping towards Lu Yan'an.

Boom!

Lu Yan'an's blade pressed forward relentlessly, undeterred by the energy orbs raining down upon him! It withstood the attacks, slashing at the mechanical giant dog and sending it flying tens of millions of kilometers. It also checked its own divine power—unsurprisingly, only 99%. But it paid no attention to these minor details, only hesitating briefly before continuing its pursuit of another Gundam-like mechanical giant.

At this moment, the mechanical giant dog was completely stunned. Who am I? Where am I? I was utterly defeated by a newly promoted Venerable? This must be a mistake! I can be called a newly promoted Venerable!

The next instant, its gaze turned serious; its Divine Body had actually lost nearly one ten-thousandth of its strength!

It's important to know that it also possesses the High-level Supreme Treasure, the Tianji Armor, for blocking. Even if it can only be activated to its second form, it can weaken the opponent by one ten-thousandth!

Its size far surpasses that of Venerable Kangjia, and its Divine Body is of higher purity, yet it still lost one ten-thousandth of its Divine Body. I can't even imagine what I would be like without the high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor.
