"Naluo... Laiyi?"

Daiqin stared in disbelief at the figure high in the sky.

Jiang Yao frowned. He knew Laiyi; he was also a cosmic-level member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm, Heavenly Bridge.

"Naluo... is that Naluo from the Giant Axe Coliseum?"

Daiqin nodded and transmitted his voice. "It's him, the strongest universe-level genius in the Giant Axe Secret Realm. He has already passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Before you, there was Naluo from the Giant Axe Coliseum, Xitu from our company who is now Primal Secret Realm Domain Lord level member, who is comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele just like you, and Kukan from the Universe Galaxy Bank Black Hole Secret Realm. They are the most dazzling geniuses among the Core Member of the five major forces."

"I thought he had already become Domain Lord. He probably just wants to wait until the Nine Star Sea Sacred Altar opens before breaking through."

Jiang Yao looked at the dozen or so geniuses from the Core Layer of the five major powers who were attacking without any restraint, and he secretly felt that something was wrong.

As the pinnacle race of the Primal Universe, none of the top geniuses within the Human Race are easy to deal with.

The resources they acquired and their own talents were unmatched by any of the strong members of the Luoxiao Race.

Despite the fact that the Holy Temple issued a kill order, causing some trouble for the geniuses of the five major forces, apart from the initial casualties due to being caught off guard, not many geniuses have actually been killed over the years, especially those elders who have cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years, whose trump cards and life-saving methods are too numerous to count.

Since they dared to gather together to attack the Chengyun Clan, which had a ninth-level Realm Lord expert in charge, it meant that they were absolutely confident in killing the Holy Lord of Chengyun.

Having browsed the treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company, Jiang Yao could come up with hundreds of ways to kill a ninth-level Realm Lord in a single thought.

There's nothing you can't do if you're willing to spend the money.

A weapon like the E9-grade Laser Gun, which costs 500,000 points, could easily kill the Holy Lord of Chengyun.

But the problem is...

Jiang Yao glanced at Chiling clone was hiding among a group of Star-level noobs, acting like a quail.

His Chiling clone had just obtained a spot in the Chengyun Sacred Land. If Naluo and the others were to destroy the Chengyun Clan, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

Jiang Yao had an idea, so he decided to observe first.

Holy Lord of Chengyun laughed heartily, "You outsiders are truly ignorant of your own limitations. Do you think the gap between the ninth rank of Saint Domain and the ninth rank of Lord can be bridged by sheer numbers? It seems I'm going to get the bounty issued by the Holy Temple this time."

The Holy Lord of Chengyun then unleashed a terrifying aura of the ninth level of the Saint Domain. The Saint Domain Force (the World Force) spread and expanded outwards, then soared into the sky, carrying more than a dozen outsiders with him.

Although he spoke disdainfully of these outsiders, he knew in his heart that these outsiders, despite only being at the ninth level of the Lord realm after fusing with the Glittering Star Stone, might unleash combat power far exceeding that of a Lord. Apart from him, no one else in the entire Chengyun Sacred Land was a match for these people!

Therefore, they want to keep the battlefield far away from their home base, otherwise the losses would be too great.

Naluo sneered, and they did not resist, following the Holy Lord of Chengyun to the high sky.

Boom!

The next moment, the two were entangled.

Even high in the sky, far from the Holy City, the aftershocks of the battle triggered the city's defensive system, and a layer of light, flashing with lightning, enveloped the city.

The lightning moved like a dragon or snake, constantly resisting and dissipating the aftershocks of the battle that had spread to this area.

This terrified everyone below the light shield.

The more the Holy Lord of Chengyun, the more alarmed he became. He had only taken over the position of Holy Lord five thousand years ago and had never fought against these outsiders before. His understanding of outsiders was limited to the past records of the Chengyun clan.

However, the outsiders were originally only at the ninth level of the Sky Dome Realm. Once they obtained the Glittering Star Stone, their combat power at the Lord Realm was enough to contend with the early stage of the Saint Domain, according to records.

However, as Elite Bloodline of the ninth rank of lord, he immediately reached the top level of the ninth rank of Saint Domain after fusing with the Holy Star Stone. As the ruler of the Chengyun Clan, he didn't really take outsiders seriously.

But at this moment, the Holy Lord of Chengyun was somewhat shocked. Although none of these outsiders were his match, even the strongest one was at most a fifth-level Saint Domain warrior, their endless secret techniques and treasures made it impossible for him to harm them in the slightest.

The initial greed of the Holy Lord of Chengyun also completely disappeared with the passage of time.

"Damn it! I've already reported to the Holy Temple. Once the Holy Temple sends its Saint Domain Warrior, you'll all die a horrible death!"

The Holy Lord of Chengyun was powerless and furious, but he was completely helpless against the dozen or so outsiders who were besieging him, and he couldn't even get rid of them.

Naluo dodged the furious attack of the Holy Lord of Chengyun with a swift movement. "Now!"

A powerful aura suddenly appeared below the Holy Lord of Chengyun.

Dark red vines, resembling pythons, unfurled in an instant. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred deep red vines appeared in the air like a mountain peak, baring their fangs and claws, wrapping around the tiny figure of the Holy Lord of Chengyun.

"What is this?!"

The Holy Lord of Chengyun was utterly shocked.

Each vine was incredibly tough; he couldn't break it even with all his might.

Naluo sneered, and a dark light seemed to emerge directly from the void, drawing a mysterious arc as it pierced towards the Holy Lord of Chengyun who was trapped by the Moyun Vine.

The moment the dark light appeared, the Holy Lord of Chengyun felt his soul tremble. Although he didn't know what the dark light was, he knew he absolutely couldn't let it touch him.

He, the ruler of a Sacred Land, an invincible being beneath the Holy Temple, was actually going to capsize in this ditch and be killed by a few outsiders?

"The Holy Temple will avenge me!" Holy Lord of Chengyun roared in despair!

Just as he was filled with despair, the space in front of the Holy Lord of Chengyun seemed to distort, and a chilling dark light shot out, grazing the Holy Lord of Chengyun's cheek.

The Holy Lord of Chengyun escaped a great calamity, but Naluo's expression changed drastically. "Who?"

Could it be someone from the Holy Temple? How could they be here so quickly?

Everyone was momentarily filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Jiang Yao sighed inwardly. With a thought, the Glittering Star Stone merged into his body. He hadn't even clashed with the Holy Temple yet, but he hadn't expected to have to fight against human geniuses from the same faction first.

A streak of Flowing Light shot out from below; it was Jiang Yao, wearing the standard armor of the Jingan Guard of the Chengyun Sacred Land.

Naluo looked at the guard, who appeared to be an ordinary Luoxiao Race but clearly possessed the aura of Domain Lord Ninth Stage, having fused with the Glittering Star Stone. His pupils contracted. "You're also Core Member of one of the five major powers?"

Because of the pursuit by the Luoxiao Race's Holy Temple, many of the Core Layer cosmic geniuses of the five major forces who accepted the Nine Star Sea mission chose to go into hiding, concealing their strength and using various identities.

Naluo was not surprised that other geniuses from the five major powers were hidden in the Chengyun Sacred Land.

Among the dozen or so people, a burly man who was easily five meters tall spoke up, "I didn't expect to encounter fellow travelers who had been hiding. The Holy Temple has been hunting us down, and we also want to hunt down their Luoxiao Race's Sacred Land clans to vent our anger. If you join us, you'll also get a share of the Cheng Yun clan's treasures and wealth."

Naluo narrowed his eyes and remained silent. His stance was clear from the fact that the mysterious person who had just appeared had stopped Wushen Thorn.

Jiang Yao sighed, "I'm sorry, I wouldn't mind joining you all at any other time, but you can't attack the Chengyun Clan. I promised a Luoxiao Race kid that I would escort him to the Sacred Altar Baptism, and he has already obtained a spot in the Chengyun Sacred Land. I'm the kind of person who will always do what I've promised if I've accepted a reward. You can go to the neighboring Jiaohe Sacred Land."

Holy Lord of Chengyun stared in shock at Jiang Yao before him, struggling to break free from the bindings of the Moyun Vine while thinking to himself, "He really is an outsider! I didn't expect outsiders to fight amongst themselves like dogs? How can he possibly hold off more than a dozen outsiders by himself?"

"Haha, who do you think you are?" the burly man sneered. "Either get out of my way, or I'll send you on your way too!"

While the dangers of dangerous missions primarily stem from the perils of the mission world itself, they also involve the killing of each other among geniuses.

Especially in the Nine Star Sea mission world before each opening of the Sacred Altar, the number of places for Sacred Altar Baptism is limited.

The geniuses of the five major powers are competitors in themselves.

"Don't let him waste our time!" Naluo, the most senior and strongest among them, and a genius from the Giant Axe Coliseum, commanded great prestige. He immediately ordered, "If we delay any longer, we might encounter warriors from the Holy Temple. Let's deal with this Holy Lord of Chengyun first! I don't want his Holy Star Stone, you can divide them among yourselves!"

Then, the Wushen Thorn transformed into a streak of black light and pierced once more towards the Holy Lord of Chengyun was still unable to break free from the binding of the Moyun Vine -Piercing Vine.

At the same time, three people surrounded Jiang Yao, telling him not to cause trouble.

Jiang Yao remained calm, but a cry suddenly rang out from his mind!

The secret of the word "" in "Bixun Jiu Shi".

The Soul Attack, imbued with the Light-Time Fusion Law, instantly resounded throughout every part of Moyun Vine's soul.

The Moyun Vine, resembling a massive, dark red mountain, let out a painful howl, unfurling all its tendrils and instantly releasing the imprisoned Holy Lord of Chengyun.

Having regained his freedom, the Holy Lord of Chengyun narrowly escaped the attack of the Wushen Thorn.

The owner of the Moyun Vine exclaimed in shock, "The Moyun Vine has been Soul Attack!"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Jiang Yao, who was standing still.

"Illusionist?"

"Kill him!"

A mechanical weapon with a barrel diameter of about 1 meter floated in front of a woman with long silver hair.

With a "beep!" sound, the warning light above the energy slot lit up red.

An extremely dazzling beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the Laser Gun, heading straight for Jiang Yao!

With a hiss, it passed right through Jiang Yao's body.

The woman exclaimed in surprise, "He dodged it?"

Jiang Yao, having been pierced, Destruction like a soap bubble.

Then, at the same time, a Jiang Yao appeared in front of each of the dozen or so people.

The Mirror Image Clone of the "Zhenhuang Mirror"!

Jiang Yao unleashed the 108 essential principles of spatial laws at this moment, achieving a perfection far surpassing even secret techniques like the <Ten Thousand Line Flow>, leaving no flaws whatsoever.

Jiang Yao, expressionless, appeared before Naluo. He coldly snorted, "Trying to fight me in close combat? You're courting death!"

Wow!

Naluo swung his sword to meet Jiang Yao's incoming palm strike!

The moment the blade and palm collided, Naluo's expression changed drastically. He felt an incredible and terrifying impact from his opponent, as well as a terrifying aura emanating from the blade.

With a loud bang, he was blasted away more than ten kilometers by a tremendous force!

The other dozen or so figures were also knocked away.

After regaining their footing, everyone looked at Jiang Yao in shock.

They could sense that the other party had already shown mercy.

They were already among the strongest group of geniuses among the Core Member the five major powers at the cosmic level, yet they were completely powerless to fight back!

Naluo was horrified as he sensed the terrifying aura emanating from it. What was that? It seemed to be the aura of a ferocious beast from the wilderness!

While marveling at Jiang Yao's ability to repel more than a dozen outsiders in an instant, the Holy Lord of Chengyun suppressed the anger and humiliation welling up in his heart and was about to transform into a stream of Flowing Light to escape from here.

"The Holy Temple! I want to go to the Holy Temple have them send powerful warriors to wipe out all these outsiders!"

But before he could transform into light and escape, a feeling as if the sky were blotting out the sun suddenly came from behind him.

When the Holy Lord of Chengyun turned his head, he saw Jiang Yao's five fingers forming a claw as he reached out to grab him. Although Jiang Yao had only extended one hand, it seemed to him as if a divine claw that blotted out the sky was grabbing at him. An immense force emanated from the surrounding space and time, as if it had locked him in place, leaving him with no way to escape.

"Why are you running? Doesn't the Sacred Altar Trial require you to lead the team?" Jiang Yao said helplessly.

"The Path of the Beast God!"

"Jiang Yao! You are Jiang Yao!"

Naluo suddenly cried out in surprise, then was shocked. Wasn't it said that this freak had already passed through the Heavenly Bridge?

Moreover, he broke through as the Controller of Universe Divine Weapon.

But his performance of toying with them and the ninth-level Holy Lord of Chengyun in the palm of his hand—how could he possibly be considered the strength of someone on the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge?!
