On a black planet, its surface barren and devoid of life, stands a solitary palace, its shape irregular and extremely eerie.

A bald man in dark green armor sat high up, looking down at the Immortal God standing in the hall with his blood-red, chilling eyes.

"Don't worry, given your crimes, even if Jiang Yao is determined to retaliate, at most he'll throw you into the Ninth Star Domain Prison, where your sentence won't exceed 1000 epochs. Once things have calmed down, I can transfer you to the First Star Domain Prison, and your sentence will be reduced to less than 10 epochs."

The Immortal God standing in the hall, clad in armor with a pair of golden wings, looked rather grim. "My lord, no matter how talented Jiang Yao is, he's only at the Domain Lord level. He hasn't experienced the trials of life and death yet, and it's unknown how far he can grow. Why be so accommodating to him?"

The bald man snorted, "Even if he's killed by the Alien Race tomorrow, it won't change the fact that he's still the Chaos City Lord's disciple today. Although I'm not afraid of him, he does represent the Virtual Universe Company. This Xuanshang Universe Country is under the jurisdiction of the Virtual Universe Company. Our Giant Axe Coliseum doesn't have the authority to manage the Xuan Shang army. Those three guys are terrified of the Inspector Envoy, so Bibo Marquis will most likely not refuse Jiang Yao's request. If he mobilizes a large army to press on our borders, do you think I'd openly confront the Cosmic Army for your sake?"

"This time we suddenly encountered Inspector Envoy a powerful background like Jiang Yao. There's no need to fight back, otherwise it will backfire. I will naturally compensate you for your sacrifice. I can decide to give you two extra Blood Essence Fruit."

Upon hearing this, the golden-winged Immortal God showed a hint of excitement. He knew very well how precious the Blood Essence Fruit; without it, he would never have been able to cultivate to his current level. If he could obtain two more...

He was even somewhat hoping that Jiang Yao would come and arrest him.

"You'll stay here with me for the time being," the bald man said solemnly. "If Jiang Yao comes to arrest you, he'll definitely bring his Cosmic Army. Marquis Qiyu will naturally notify me in advance, and you can then Divine Kingdom Teleportation. However, just in case, you must make sure your 'fence' is secure, and absolutely do not let him discover your secret."

"Please rest assured, my lord, I have used Space Secret Technique to completely conceal the 'cosmic coordinates' corresponding to that location, which are thousands of light-years away. Other spaceships simply cannot reach it by Cosmic Shuttle. Moreover, the entrance to my God Kingdom also has extremely sophisticated detection equipment..."

A silver-white, streamlined spaceship suddenly appeared out of thin air, traversing the Dark Universe.

Inside the spaceship, Xide, the leader of Jiang Yao's Guard Army, asked in confusion, "We haven't even reached the slave market in the Shewolf Starfield yet! We're just on the edge of the Shewolf Starfield."

Jiang Yao flew directly out of the cabin and looked curiously at the distant starry sky.

"There's a problem with the space there!"

"Is there something wrong with the space?" Xide also flew out, but he couldn't sense anything wrong.

Jiang Yao frowned and said, "Someone has used Space Secret Technique to conceal the cosmic coordinates of a large area of interstellar space."

Since he fully comprehended the Fifth Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele, he has found that his sensitivity to the fluctuations of the Law of Time has reached a new level. Most Space Secret Technique or temporal secret techniques cannot be hidden from his will and consciousness, which are integrated with the concept of the Space-Time Annihilation Intent.

Hearing Jiang Yao say this, Xide no longer had any doubts. This prince had actually passed through the Primal Heaven-Reaching Mountain Domain Lord level being, Law Comprehension was even stronger than his so-called leader of the Guard Army.

There's definitely something wrong with concealing cosmic coordinates. For example, Huyan Bo used Space Secret Technique to conceal the cosmic coordinates corresponding to nearly a thousand light-years away from Earth. He must have done this to protect some secret.

Considering the secrets that might be hidden behind the Black Moon Sacred Land in the Shewolf Starfield, secrets that even the three giants of the Xuanshang Branch were unwilling to touch, Jiang Yao naturally became suspicious immediately.

"I'll go investigate; you go back first."

Xide was shocked. "Your Highness, I am the leader of your Guard Army..."

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "I'm investigating a case this time, so I need to disguise my identity. Can you do a perfect disguise?"

After saying that, Jiang Yao took out a white mask as thin as a cicada's wing, covered his face, and instantly transformed into another person. His skin was covered with black scales, his mouth was open with fangs, his eyes were dark red, and his aura was only at the second level of the Stellar level.

"The Heimeng Race?" Xide was somewhat surprised, as he couldn't see any flaws at all, as if even their souls had been completely altered.

It must be said that the Phantom Mask of the Zhenxuan King was quite useful. To be on the safe side, Jiang Yao used the power of the Xu Yuan Space to create another layer of protection, a double layer of insurance.

He believed that even King-level Immortal skilled in the Soul Path or the Space-Time Law would be unable to see through it.

The Heimeng Race is a well-known slave race in the universe, known for its physical strength and the fact that it frequently produces Spirit Reader.

"Besides, you know my teacher bestowed some treasures upon me, so I shouldn't have any problem saving my life if I really encounter danger. Adding you would only be a burden to me."

Xide gave a wry smile. Although Jiang Yao's words were blunt, they were true. He only learned after leading his Guard Army to the Lingtong Race that Jiang Yao had even killed an Immortal God, which showed just how extraordinary the treasure bestowed by the Chaos City Lord was.

Other princes in the Primal Secret Realm realms all need the protection of the Guard Army, but only this prodigy would complain that the Guard Army are a hindrance.

After dismissing the Guard Army leader, Jiang Yao sensed the faint Space Secret Technique fluctuations ahead.

He can sense Space Secret Technique and naturally can break them, but if he tries to break them by force, it will immediately alert the powerful beings who are concealing the spatial coordinates.

"It's a pity the Zhenhuang Mirror was damaged; it couldn't be used for Teleportation until it was repaired, otherwise it would have been much simpler."

Beneath a tranquil cosmic sky, a small, weathered spaceship is slowly traversing the cosmos.

Inside the spaceship's safe cabin, a young man dressed in tattered animal skins anxiously stared at the speed data on the screen.

The young man's appearance was surprisingly that of Lingtong Race.

"Damn it, this spaceship is only A9-class, its acceleration is too slow."

The young man from the Lingtong Race was anxious and worried. "I escaped, but my younger siblings are still left behind. I don't know where they'll be sold this time, whether they'll survive, or if we'll ever see each other again. If I could find my clansmen, perhaps there would be a way... But the Kasolo Empire... I don't know if I'll ever be able to return to my parents' homeland. Maybe it's already destroyed..."

Seeing the numbers on the screen showing that the spaceship had accelerated to half the speed of light, his anxiety and worry lessened considerably.

"Even if the Lingtong Race is wiped out, it doesn't matter. With such Bloodline Divine Ability, I will definitely become a powerful figure in the future and find them. I hope they can hold on."

The young man felt a surge of excitement as he thought about the mysterious Bloodline Divine Ability he had awakened.

Before his parents were sold, they taught him the secret methods of Mental Power Amplitude and awakening Bloodline Divine Ability of the Lingtong Race's Spirit Reader.

His talent for cultivation has always been very strong. In just over a hundred years, he cultivated to the ninth level of the planetary realm. Later, he mastered the secret technique of "Boat of Guidance", shattered the bloodline barrier, and was able to awaken his Bloodline Divine Ability.

Unexpectedly, the activated Bloodline Divine Ability was extremely magical and profound. The divine Divine Bird, which resembled a fire spirit, swallowed the implanted chip in one gulp, freeing him from the control of the Biochip.

The parents and some of the slaves around them had mentioned that only those stronger than the cosmic level could destroy the chip in their minds, but this had always been considered an impossible miracle, because among the slaves on the planet, let alone those stronger than the cosmic level, those who could even reach the stellar level were extremely rare.

Moreover, the Divine Bird existing in his sea of consciousness seemed to be faintly emanating a special divine charm, even allowing him to directly perceive the fluctuations of the Origin Law of Light.

In just half a year, he had even grasped a trace of the Origin Law of Fire.

You should know that your parents once told you that comprehending the Origin Law was something only the high-ranking Elder of the Lingtong Race could do in the past; they were all powerhouses who surpassed the universe level.

This made him both excited and extremely apprehensive about possessing this miraculous Bloodline Divine Ability.

Even the most naive man realized that this was an absolutely crucial secret that must never be revealed.

After breaking through to the Stellar level, he used his limited understanding of the Origin Law to kill several Stellar level guards, steal a low-level spaceship, and escape from the planet.

The thought of the offensive power he could achieve by merely applying a little understanding of the Origin Law filled him with uncontrollable excitement.

Suddenly, the entire spaceship shook violently, jolting him from his excitement. Before he could take any action, the spaceship exploded with a deafening roar.

The young man from the Lingtong Race burst out of the tumbling, damaged spaceship and saw two spaceships ahead, as well as more than a dozen figures flying out of the hatches.

"The Warden?" The young man from the Lingtong Race was startled.

The leader was a burly man wearing purple armor with two horns on his head. He exuded an aura far exceeding that of a star. He was the Star System Warden. Each slave star system had 18 Warden. It was said that above the Warden were even stronger beings beyond the universe level.

"It's actually the Warden himself who's come." The young man from the Lingtong Race felt a sinking feeling in his heart. "If it were a Stellar-level warrior, even one at the eighth or ninth rank, he would be confident of escaping, but a Cosmic-level expert is an opponent he simply cannot defeat at present."

A murderous glint and lingering fear flashed in the eyes of the cosmic-level Warden. If this Lingtong Race slave had escaped, the consequences would have been unbearable. Although he didn't know why he cared so much about her Lingtong Race identity, it was his master's order, and he had to carry it out without question.

"Hmph, Biochip can actually be defective." The Warden looked at the Lingtong Race youth with some doubt, but that didn't stop him from dealing with the "trouble" at hand. He took out a weapon that was about three meters long and about thirty centimeters in diameter from his storage ring.

"Laser Gun?"

The young man from the Lingtong Race was incredulous. He had initially thought the other party intended to capture him and take him back. The value of a stellar-level slave far Planetary Level that of a planetary-level slave. Because of his special "Bloodline Divine Ability," he wasn't afraid of having another Biochip implanted; he could always find a better opportunity next time. But he never expected that this Warden would actually try to kill him outright?

The youth immediately mustered all his Origin Energy and mental power, trying to sense that trace of the Origin Law of Fire. A layer of flames suddenly erupted from the surface of his body, and he transformed into Flowing Light and fled forward.

The cosmic-level Warden snorted.

"Laugh!"

A blinding white light shot out.

The Lingtong Race youth, covered only by a layer of animal hide, was filled with despair as he frantically fled.

I'm not reconciled!

Pain! Anger! Resentment!

His will roared, and even the divine Divine Bird in his sea of consciousness cried out to the sky in response.

He suddenly froze.

"I'm alright?" A surge of excitement welled up within the Lingtong Race youth amidst his despair. "Could it be the effect of that Bloodline Divine Ability?"

The cosmic-level Warden suddenly changed color and immediately looked around. "Who is it?"

An inconspicuous black spaceship slid out of space without causing the slightest spatial fluctuation, which seemed extremely eerie.

The hatch opened, and out flew a figure with black scales on its skin, radiating a stellar aura.

It was Jiang Yao, disguised as a member of the Heimeng Race.
