Chapter 176's Highest Points Mission is way too easy?

"It's still too late!"

Jiang Yao's biggest worry was undoubtedly the Prison Race Venerable intended to enslave him.

Although his heart sank, he was not afraid.

As the only genius of the Luoxiao Race in countless years to be recognized by the Ancestral God Stele and obtain the inheritance of the Imperial Race of the Suolun Master, and as a disciple of the Virtual Gold Master the Giant Axe Coliseum, he naturally had trump cards when he ventured into the Prison Race's secret realm alone, although he was not originally prepared to deal with the Universe Venerable.

With a sudden thought, the inconspicuous feather ring on Chiling's longest index finger fell off.

The feather ring unfolded and instantly grew into a magnificent Tail Feathers several kilometers long.

Inside the spaceship Kuishen Mountain in the Nine Star Sea the Giant Axe Secret Realm, Kuishen Venerable suddenly opened his eyes.

"Has Chiling's identity been exposed?"

Kuishen Venerable sighed, "This time we're probably going to offend the Prison Race to death."

Above Chiling clone, it was as if the Law Sea from the primordial land had descended, with endless energy pouring down!

The several kilometers-long, dazzling Tail Feathers instantly coalesced into a giant figure of light, with two curved ram horns vaguely visible on its head.

Without the giant making any move, the restraints on Chiling clone were completely released, and he regained his freedom.

"Kuishen?!"

The Skeleton Venerable was first horrified, then enraged.

As the origin of the Prison Race, the Prison is a place where powerful Alien Race, whether they are Universe Venerable or Universe Master, cannot Teleportation to. Even wormholes cannot allow Venerable and above to enter. This is an important reason why the Prison Race can remain in its remote territory and observe the struggle Four Peak Races.

Now, an avatar of a powerful Alien Race has actually "smuggled" into the Prison Race's stronghold, and it's even a powerhouse at the level of Universe Overlord. How could he not be shocked? He himself only possesses the strength of Intermediate Venerable.

But then he realized that this temporary clone of the Kuishen Venerable didn't have even a fraction of the power of the original, and naturally, he became furious.

Two dark beams of light shot out from the black hole vortex in the Skeleton Venerable's eyes; they were actually two rings. The rings rapidly grew larger and flew at the speed of light under the control of the Void Divine Power. One attacked the giant light figure, and the other attacked the Chiling clone, which was about to fly into the cave.

Although the avatar of Kuishen Venerable had freed him from the shackles that bound him, it could not remove the Space Seal.

With a furious roar, the giant light being instantly disintegrated, transforming into a sea of light covering tens of thousands of kilometers. Within this sea of light were countless points of light, each as heavy as a planet and indestructible. The combined power of these countless points of light was enough to easily annihilate even Immortal God.

Although it couldn't harm the Skeleton Venerable, it turned the entire area into a swamp.

Boom!

Countless points of light, each carrying incredible power, frantically converged on the Skeleton Venerable. As the points of light gathered, their power continuously increased, forming a massive vortex that trapped the two rings within it.

Meanwhile, Chiling clone had already rushed into the cave, at the end of which was the wormhole.

Just as they were about to reach the wormhole, a deafening roar erupted.

The entire mountain range was shattered into dust, and even the body of Chiling clone was shaken so violently that his limbs were broken. If it weren't for the fact that his body's genes had been increased by more than 200 times due to the disaster, his physical body would have been instantly shattered. Although he didn't die, his injuries were made even worse than before.

The sea of light formed by the Kuishen Venerable had been completely annihilated by the power unleashed by Skeleton Venerable.

Chiling clone was only a few centimeters away from the tiny wormhole, which was only a dozen meters in size, but this close distance felt like an insurmountable distance.

He was once again completely trapped by the surrounding space.

"Damn it!" The Skeleton Venerable clutched a dazzling Tail Feathers in his hand, extremely shocked and furious. He had just burned his divine power and used all his strength to deal with the clone of the Kuishen Venerable, but the strange and powerful force that he had previously suppressed began to rebel again, recklessly devouring the Spiritual Imprint within his divine body.

With a thought, the space where the Chiling clone Skeleton Venerable located seemed to shrink and began to move away from the wormhole, about to be captured by him.

Suddenly, an arm emerged from the wormhole!

At the very bottom of the Primal Secret Realm "Purgatory Abyss," on the calm surface of a lake, the Eight-Armed Giant -like Universe Venerable guards the wormhole looks down at the wormhole vortex beneath the lake, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"Good heavens, this new disciple of the Virtual Gold Master is really causing trouble, actually attracting the pursuit of Venerable from the Prison Race?"

Although he was Venerable in the Virtual Universe Company, he still dared not neglect the instructions given by the Virtual Gold Master.

"Hmph, Wuha, how did he come to this 'prison'?" Although he had doubts, the Eight-Armed Giant Venerable did not delay and suddenly stretched one arm below the lake surface.

The arm that emerged from the wormhole had all five fingers outstretched, instantly distorting space and unleashing a powerful devouring force, once again releasing the Chiling clone.

With his last ounce of strength, Chiling clone followed the devouring force and finally entered the collapsing wormhole.

"Stay here!"

The Skeleton Venerable's voice boomed, and a ring shot straight after the Chiling clone, entering the wormhole in an instant.

The wormhole was completely unable to withstand the power of the Universe Venerable and began to rapidly annihilate, causing spacetime chaos within it.

The Skeleton Venerable's ring followed closely behind the Chiling clone, its powerful suction force pulling him backward instead of forward, and he was about to fall into the ring.

"Break! Break! Break!"

Jiang Yao's true form roared, urging his Chiling clone to activate.

The Annihilation Intent of the combined Space-Time Law, the intent of the Lightning-Time Fusion Law of Chiling, and the Beast God Intent of Bizhang Split Soul all struggled together.

The Chiling clone's backward flight was slightly slower, leaving it only a hair's breadth away from the Skeleton Venerable's ring!

The wormhole collapsed silently at that moment!

And before its destruction, it released chaotic spacetime currents.

Chiling clone turned around and spat out a cyan-gold disc, using it as a shield in front of him. The Beast God Weapon of the Suolun Master was no less sturdy than Heavy Treasure, blocking the Skeleton Venerable's attack at the last moment, which was launched by the ring. The powerful impact threw him into a Spatial Turbulence.

The space-time before Chiling clone suddenly shifted, as if he had entered a tunnel. Then, a powerful force of repulsion came from space-time, trying to squeeze him out.

When he came to his senses again, he found himself facing an endless starry sky.

This is...

Chiling clone separated a wisp of consciousness and connected to the Virtual Universe Network, instantly determining its location. It was half a Primal Universe away from the Human Territory, but not far from the starry territory of the Prison Race, which was considered the territory of a powerful vassal clan of the Prison Race.

The universe was silent; no one was chasing after us, and the nearest star system was several light-years away.

But Chiling clone knew it was only a matter of time before the Prison Race Venerable arrived, so he immediately activated the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God>!

At this moment, Chiling clone was on the verge of death.

However, as the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God> was activated, the drop of Origin Blood Essence deep within his consciousness peacefully released gentle energy, filling his body. Under the secret technique of transforming into the Desolate God, his previously half-dead body was rapidly healed and transformed.

In the blink of an eye, a colossal creature appeared beneath the starry sky.

It has the head of an ox and the body of a dragon, its entire body is red and scaleless, its back is raised and has a dorsal fin, and a huge single horn extends from its forehead.

It was none other than Chiling's Desolate God form!

"Great! I can finally use 'Primordial Tribulation Return'!" Chiling- like eyes showed joy.

Having already reached the second level of the Path of the Beast God, Chiling clone transformed into the Desolate God this time. Not only did his strength increase dramatically, but he could also use the primordial divine power "Primordial Tribulation Return," which he was previously unable to use.

"Primordial Tribulation Return" and "Heavenly Cycle Illusion" are both innate divine abilities possessed by the Desolate God Chiling.

Of course, in this universe-devouring process, due to the effect of the Supreme Rule, both of these primordial divine powers underwent tremendous changes.

"Heavenly Cycle Illusion" has been transformed into the Innate Secret Technique "Time Illusion".

"Primordial Tribulation Return" has also become the Innate Secret Technique "Thunder Return". After all, there is no such thing as tribulation lightning in the Devouring Universe. The Desolate God Chiling, who was born in response to the tribulation on the Tianhuang Ancient Continent, no longer has the talent to control the tribulation here. Only the simple Law of Lightning and Law of Time remain.

With a long moo, the massive Chiling, like a dragon, undulated and swayed its body, as if about to burrow into a cave, and instantly disappeared from its original spot, merging into the omnipresent fluctuations of the Lightning Origin Law in the universe.

In the dense atmosphere of a gas giant planet thousands of light-years away, gases rub against each other, and thick clouds rub against the gases under immense pressure, generating countless violent lightning bolts every moment.

At the center of the clouds, a terrifying bolt of lightning was born like a thunderbolt. This lightning, which emitted a dazzling light, did not disappear immediately after it appeared. The branch-like lightning seemed to come alive, like long lightning snakes wandering in the thunderstorm.

The dazzling lightning dissipated, revealing the form of the Desolate God Chiling.

"Truly wondrous!" Chiling strolled freely through the thick clouds, his heart filled with excitement. "This feels somewhat similar to the 'Domain' Innate Secret Technique that Luo Feng's Mosha Race clone obtained in the original story."

The principle behind Luo Feng's clone's Mosha Race's Innate Secret Technique "Domain" is to instantly transform into a space, becoming a part of that space, merging into it, and thus appearing or disappearing at any time.

Such Teleportation not only avoids any spatial fluctuations, but is also unrestricted by any means of blocking.

Chiling's Innate Secret Technique, "Thunder Return," allows him to merge into the fluctuations of the Law of Lightning. Then, through Law of Lightning fluctuations, he can sense locations where powerful natural lightning is generated at extremely far distances, and reappear as lightning himself.

In a sense, it can already be considered ultra-long-distance teleportation, and in terms of its profoundness and power, it far surpasses the Mosha Race's Innate Secret Technique "Domain".

The only problem is that "Thunder Return" is different from "Time Illusion"; it can only be used by Desolate God, otherwise it is impossible to integrate into the fluctuations of the Law of Lightning.

However, the true form of the Desolate God must never be revealed unless absolutely necessary. In the "prison," the illusion of Bizhang Zhang revealed by Bizhang Split Soul using "Rainbow Fire Fusion" in order to escape was just an illusion. Even the Universe Venerable could not see its true nature. But if the true form of the Desolate God were revealed, it would be extremely dangerous. If they could not kill him to silence him, neither Jiang Yao nor Chiling clone could withstand such consequences with their current strength.

Chiling swayed his body and merged back into the fluctuations of the Law of Lightning, disappearing instantly. Relying on "Thunder Return," he could easily teleport back to the Human Territory by segment.

After approaching Human Territory, they reverted to their Luoxiao Race forms and then flew back to the Giant Axe Secret Realm in a spaceship.

In the boundless universe, a figure suddenly appeared; it was none other than the Skeleton Venerable the Prison Race.

The Skeleton Venerable scanned the surrounding starry sky, his Void Divine Power spreading outward at the speed of light, yet he still couldn't find any trace of that Luoxiao Race genius.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

The Skeleton Venerable roared, the roar infused with Void Divine Power, instantly spreading throughout the starry sky for millions of kilometers.

"Luoxiao Race brat, very well! I'll remember you, as well as Kuishen and that human Venerable! How dare you descend and interfere in my Prison Race's secret realm!"

As the Skeleton Venerable gritted his teeth, he tried again to suppress the strange power within his body that had not yet been completely dissipated. He had suffered a considerable loss this time, and it would probably take a long time to completely eradicate that mysterious and powerful force. He had not yet completed the task given to him by the Zimo Master, and the thought of the Zimo Master' punishment made him shudder.

Suddenly, a ripple spread through the space, and a giant beast with a white face emerged from it.

The powerful aura distorted space and time.

Whoosh~~~~

A black river flowed through and shrouded the nearby starry sky.

"The Zimo Master?" The Skeleton Venerable was shocked and knelt in the void, filled with fear and trepidation.

The Zimo Master let out a soft exclamation. "Not even a trace of spatial Teleportation was left behind."

He then looked down at the Skeleton Venerable and sneered, "Useless! You can't even handle this simple matter!"

From the moment Kuishen Venerable manifested his avatar in the "Prison," he was alarmed. The Zimo Master immediately rushed to the "Prison," descending through the nearly vanished wormhole, but he was still a step too late.

"Hmph, humans! I won't let you get away with this until I get it." The Zimo Master sneered, "That Ancestral God Stele is indeed the legacy left by the Suolun Master. That old codger, Kuishen, is quite something, managing to secretly bring this thing out of the Ancestral God Sect. If this news gets out, the Monster Race, the Machine Race, and the Zerg will definitely be interested, not to mention the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance..."

Above the desolate planet, Jiang Yao, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. Ever since his Chiling clone escaped danger, his consciousness had returned to his Human Main Body through the Xu Yuan Space.

"This haul has been enormous..."

Not only have his and his clone's Gene Level undergone a tremendous leap, Beast God Intent of the Chiling clone has also been raised to the second level of the Path of the Beast God, which is equivalent to the level of comprehension at the King Level. In this way, if the Chiling clone goes all out, he can completely unleash combat power that surpasses the Peak Marquis, and may barely reach the threshold of the King Level.

The Human Main Body Space-Time Law have also reached a level close to that of King Level. With 156 times the Gene Level plus 8 times the Body Amplitude of the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body", after fusing with the Holy Star Stone, he can possess 1256 times the power of a ninth-level World Lord, reaching the power level of Marquis Immortal. When he uses the Space-Time Law of the Annihilation Intent, he should be able to reach the combat power level of High-level Marquis.

"However, we've accumulated a lot of debt." Jiang Yao sighed.

The loss of one of the Tail Feathers of the Kuishen Venerable also led to the destruction of the wormhole. Without the replenishment of the Prison Race's life force, the "Purgatory Abyss" mission world was essentially rendered useless. Fortunately, Luo Feng's rise to power did not seem to involve taking on the desperate mission of the "Purgatory World".

Besides, the Giant Axe Coliseum will need to compensate the Virtual Universe Company, but without the wormhole, it will be more difficult for the Luoxiao Race to obtain the Origin Heart if they are born with Imperial Bloodline in the future.

"Beep!"

As Jiang Yao was pondering the potential consequences, he suddenly paused, startled.

He received an email stating that the Xuanshang Branch of Virtual Universe Company had investigated and produced the investigation report required for Jiang Yao's first ring of points mission.

"So fast? This Highest Points Mission is way too easy."
