Hunting King Juehun
On the surface of an unnamed mineral planet within the territory of the Xuanshang Universe Country, a dazzling light appeared out of nowhere, and a huge, shuttle-shaped black spaceship hovered in the air.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Xuanshang Universe Country." In the control room, an ordinary-looking human, about two meters tall, stood beside Chiling clone and said.
Behind him were six humans who looked very similar to him, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these people had only human appearances but no human soul, as if they were just walking corpses.
These seven humans were the Wucha Race King-level squad sent by the Virtual Gold Master to protect the Chiling clone. The Wucha Race are Energy Lifeform without souls, and can change their forms as much as the Mosha Race. Because they are not afraid of Soul Attack and are extremely difficult to kill, they are often sent by the Giant Axe Coliseum to protect their core geniuses.
Chiling clone looked at the simulated exterior around the spaceship and was already able to sense the location of the Human Main Body.
"Feiersi, how far are we from here to Hengqi Star?"
Hengqi Star is one of the eight first-level administrative stars of the Xuanshang Universe Country. It is also the location of the Giant Axe Coliseum branch and one of the most important power centers in the Xuanshang Universe Country.
The leader of the Wucha Race squad Feiersi, laughed and said, "Cosmic Shuttle at 60 times the speed of light would only take about 20 days. Your Highness has practically parachuted into the Xuanshang Universe Country this time. The two ministers of the Xuanshang Branch must be quite shocked."
He was extremely curious about this Domain Lord. As Energy Lifeform, the Wucha Race was used as the exclusive bodyguards of the powerful members of the Giant Axe Coliseum due to their various advantages. However, generally speaking, even if the core geniuses were members of the Domain Lord of the Giant Axe Secret Realm, they would at most send out Marquis Immortal Squad as guards.
Only a small number of extremely prestigious members at the King Level are equipped with King-level squad of the Wucha Race as their guards.
However, this Chiling Highness is now enjoying the treatment of Core Member of the King-level Immortal at the Domain Lord level. Even the disciples of the Virtual Gold Master did not receive such treatment. Of course, Feiersi did not feel resentful. He had reached the level of Law Comprehension of the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge after cultivating for more than 500 years. Such a prodigy is rare in the history of the Human Race.
The fact that Chiling Highness's first inspection of the Xuanshang Universe Country upon assuming the Inspector Xuanshang Universe Country made it impossible for Feiersi not to have some thoughts. After all, besides being famous for its numerous secret realms, the genius from the Virtual Universe Company also served as Inspector Envoy in the Xuanshang Universe Country.
He thought that Chiling Highness's first inspection target was Xuanshang Universe Country, which was probably aimed at Jiang Yao. These two human super geniuses who rose to prominence almost at the same time were competing fiercely.
If you conquered the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain, then I conquered the Giant Axe Trial Tower, a cosmic-level feat.
Heavenly Bridge, I will conquer Heavenly Bridge 17th floor.
This kind of competition is rare in human history.
Could it be that we're about to have a royal showdown?
But what if these two super geniuses start fighting? Jiang Yao is also a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, and his status is no less than that of Chiling Highness.
The Chiling clone was completely unaware that the Wucha Race's guard squad was already worried about the conflict between him and the main body. His trip to the Xuanshang Universe Country was indeed to cooperate with the main body's actions.
Capturing the King Juehun was not merely Jiang Yao's way of completing the Highest Points Mission and satisfying some of the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company; it was something he was determined to do, and the King Juehun was just the beginning.
On Hengqi Star, an artificial planet with a diameter of over a million kilometers, stand ancient and magnificent cities.
In the center of one of the largest cities, a massive palace is guarded by powerful beings who exude the aura of world lords. This is the core of power for the Giant Axe Coliseum in the Xuanshang Universe Country, and most of the people living in the city are either members of the Giant Axe Coliseum or cosmic warriors who have come to receive titles and medals.
Even a random stellar or cosmic-level warrior would have a title or badge on their chest that read "Fighting King" or "Giant Axe Warrior".
They are all strong individuals who have experienced countless life-or-death battles.
Suddenly, eight streaks of Flowing Light descended from the sky, flying directly into the city from space and heading straight for the enormous palace in the city center.
"Look!"
"Someone actually flew over here!"
"Could it be Immortal God?"
"Eight Immortal God? Impossible..."
"Without the divine might of Immortal God, he's probably not Immortal Expert. Haha, this is going to be good. It's been a long time since I've seen a fool dare to offend Giant Axe City."
"They're probably some ignorant princes or nobles, or adventurers from the various secret realms of our Xuanshang Universe Country."
Just as the eight streaks of Flowing Light were about to reach the palace, the world auras of the world lords and their guards, some blazing and some icy, suddenly erupted.
"Stop!"
"How dare you!!"
A powerful pressure suddenly descended, and all the realm lord guards seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
"Is he truly Immortal God?!"
A giant with golden skin burst out of the palace gates and shouted angrily, "Who is it? How dare you trespass into the Giant Axe Palace!"
The leader of the Wucha Race's guard squad Feiersi, said in a cold voice, "The Inspector of the Giant Axe Coliseum Headquarters has arrived."
"Inspector?" The golden-skinned giant looked in astonishment at the tall figure being protected by the seven people, including Feiersi.
Its backward-curving ram horns, nine dazzling Tail Feathers, and dark golden eyes all proclaim its identity as the Luoxiao Imperial Race, renowned for its bloodline comparable to the pinnacle of Starry Sky Behemoth!
Adding the title of Inspector, there is no one else in the entire universe besides Chiling holds this title.
"Marquis Julu, the Minister of the Martial Department of the Xuanshang Branch the Giant Axe Coliseum, greets Your Marquis Julu, the Inspector." The golden-skinned giant hurriedly led Chiling clone and guards into the hall.
"Inspector? What is the position of Inspector?" After Chiling clone and others entered the palace, the Realm Lord warriors guarding the palace looked at each other with some lingering fear. Although they did not know what the position of Inspector was, they could tell from the obsequious attitude of the Marquis Julu who was in charge of the Martial Department that he must be a big shot from headquarters.
Inside the palace, Marquis Julu had a smile on his face, but inwardly he was lamenting. He had just received the news of the appointment of the new Inspector not long ago, but he did not expect that the Inspector's first stop would be the Xuanshang Universe Country.
The headquarters Inspector of the Giant Axe Coliseum are different from the Universe Country Inspector Envoys of the Virtual Universe Company. They are specifically there to discover problems, punish and judge. Driven by the mission of being sent out for training, even if the geniuses of the Giant Axe Secret Realm do not want to offend anyone, they must act as the blades that strike wherever they are pointed.
The Giant Axe Coliseum also serves as a testing and training ground for the most outstanding talents under its command.
Not long ago, he had laughed at Marquis Jinwu and his group, who were now in a mess at Virtual Universe Company. Who would have thought that retribution would come so quickly?
What kind of auspicious place is Xuanshang Universe Country? Why are so many people crowding here?
Jiang Yao has already offended the King Juehun as soon as he arrived. If this little ancestor causes any more trouble, even he will suffer.
"Chiling Highness Marquis Niku, who is in charge of the Commerce Department, is not on Hengqi Star. Should I provide relevant data on the Martial Department for nearly ten thousand epochs first?" Marquis Julu asked somewhat nervously.
The seven guards accompanying the newly appointed Inspector were all Wucha Race at the King-level Immortal realm, leaving the Xuanshang Branch with absolutely no bargaining power.
Chiling clone laughed and said, "There's no rush to investigate the internal affairs of the Commerce Department and the Martial Department. I heard that a Marquis Immortal under the command of King Juehun was killed by the Virtual Universe Company?"
King Juehun?
Marquis Julu King Juehun was a hornet's nest. He felt a headache just hearing those three words, especially these past few days. King Juehun had ordered his branch to stop the Virtual Universe Company from purging his subordinates. But how could he dare to rashly provoke a conflict between the two major forces? Although he was the head of the Martial Department Xuanshang Branch, King Juehun's status in the Giant Axe Coliseum was higher than theirs.
Even gods are fighting, yet they're making things difficult for these people.
Could it be that this newly appointed Inspector is sent by the Undying Venerable to stand up for King Juehun and challenge Jiang Yao?
Thinking of the competition between Chiling and Jiang Yao, Marquis Julu suddenly had this idea.
Inside the palace of King Juehun on the Juelong Star, a lively banquet was underway.
"Haha, how about it? I don't have slave dancers or precious wines here, but this Blood Essence Fruit isn't something you can get just anywhere, is it?" King Juehun as he entertained his guests.
A powerful Ape-man covered in hair closed his eyes, seemingly savoring the taste of the Blood Essence Fruit: "Hmm, although this Blood Essence Fruit no longer has much effect on us, this feeling of closeness to the Origin Law makes me feel like I've returned to my World Lord Level."
"Hehe, King Juehun, you've refined the most Blood Source Liquid. Blood Essence Fruit tastes good, but it's still not as good as Blood Abyss Fruit," a lean man in black armor said contentedly.
King Juehun snorted, "King Fushan, the Blood Abyss Fruit is far more valuable than the Blood Essence Fruit. Even if the Jialong Tree obtains enough Blood Source Liquid, it may not be able to cultivate it, and the time required to cultivate it is also very long. You want to try it? Bring me your Talun Race's <Phantom Secret Codex> for me to take a look."
King Fushan chuckled but didn't reply.
Consuming the Blood Essence Fruit can enhance Immortal God's perception of the Origin Law for a period of one hundred years.
After consuming the Blood Abyss Fruit, one can store the Blood Abyss Power within their divine body. When burning a large amount of divine power in a desperate attempt or when the divine body is severely damaged, activating the Blood Abyss Power can increase the recovery speed of divine power tenfold, until the Blood Abyss Power is exhausted. The larger the divine body, the faster the power is consumed.
In terms of value, the Blood Abyss Fruit is extremely precious to those who King-level Immortal.
After tasting the Blood Essence Fruit, an Immortal Expert with a body entirely emerald green and two deer antlers on his head opened his eyes and said, "King Juehun, the Virtual Universe Company has already issued arrest warrants for your subordinates and could come to arrest them at any time. And you're still here leisurely holding a banquet?"
"Haha!" King Juehun, "I've already released all eleven of my men. Now I'm all alone. If that brat Jiang Yao wants to arrest someone, let him. What does it have to do with me?"
"King Juehun has quite the nerve!" King Fushan laughed. "That Jiang Yao, relying on the favor of the Chaos City Lord, has become increasingly arrogant. First of all, he's appointed as Inspector Envoy actually wants to investigate the Blood Source Liquid. Hmph, he hasn't even achieved Immortal God yet, and he's already trying to establish his authority. That's a bit too early!"
The King-level Immortal with deer antlers on his head echoed, "That's right. As for refining this Blood Source Liquid, our Bihe Race, King Tianmu's Vajra Race, King Fushan's Talun Race, and several other powerful bloodline races have all done it. The materials for refining this Blood Source Liquid were not obtained by us, but by slaves we raised. They were mostly low-level slave races. If it weren't for us, these ants might not even have been born."
"Hmph, the Prison Race's Killing Absolute Prison requires the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Realm Lord level experts to nurture a single Origin Heart and achieve immortality. Blood Source Liquid is merely an ant that consumes Planetary Level beings. Exchanging billions of insignificant Planetary Level for a Marquis Immortal, and even giving us King-level experts an extra life, isn't that a good deal? It's their honor!"
King Juehun nodded repeatedly, saying, "King Bizhong right. This Blood Source Liquid isn't something only I can refine. My teacher even criticized me for being lawless. Everyone does it, so why can't I? If Jiang Yao has the guts, let him go to the Yuanhua Secret Realm and cause trouble for the Yongwu Race. Does he dare? I invited you all to this banquet to show that brat Jiang Yao that this Xuanshang Universe Country isn't a place he can rule."
"Hahaha, King Juehun's words are satisfying. I really want to see the helpless expression on Jiang Yao's face when he brought the army of the Universe Country to Juelong Star only to find it empty-handed. It's a pity that our Talun Race Main Sect knows how to compromise, and is afraid of this and that every day." King Fushan, who was born into the Talun Race, said with dissatisfaction.
King Juehun sneered, "I also sent an invitation to Zhenxuan King, but he hasn't come yet. Is he really afraid of Jiang Yao? I remember that the Talun Race Immortal that Jiang Yao killed was his subordinate, wasn't he? Zhenxuan King even threatened Jiang Yao with the Yedier Inheritance Token back then. Does he think that brat Jiang Yao will let him go in the future?"
The Talun Race, representing the pinnacle of human blood, has two King-level Immortal in the Xuanshang Universe Country have been granted the title of Immortal King. One is Zhenxuan King, who was once killed by the Zerg Mother Emperor and then resurrected, and the other is King Fushan, who is much older than Zhenxuan King.
King Fushan shook his head and chuckled, "Zhen Xuan has indeed kept a much lower profile these past few years. I don't think it's because he's afraid of Jiang Yao, but rather because he's focused his energy on cultivation. After all, he's different from an immortal like me whose potential is basically exhausted. His strength has also greatly improved over the years..."
"Um?"
"They've arrived?"
The seven or eight King-level Immortal Expert from various forces and races present suddenly raised their heads, some in astonishment, some with cold smiles, and some with excitement, looking through the palace at the distant starry sky.
Wow!
Ripples seemed to spread across the starry sky as a streamlined, silver-white spaceship emerged first, followed by a series of enormous interstellar warships, a dark mass gathering in space.
"Such a grand display." King Juehun sneered and stepped out of the palace, entering outer space.
The other Immortal Expert who attended the banquet also followed excitedly behind.
Jiang Yao and the three giants of the Xuanshang Branch the Virtual Universe Company stepped out of the hatch, and then the First Army Lord, the Second Army Lord, the Third Army Lord, and some of the Cosmic Army dispatched from the three army groups appeared in the starry sky.
Hundreds of enormous interstellar warships were arrayed in formation, their silver rays intertwined, completely sealing off the space surrounding Juelong Star.
This is the true elite interstellar warship combat method of the Virtual Universe Company. The weapons and warships are all modeled after the Machine Race. Once deployed, even King-level Immortal would find it difficult to break free of the encirclement in a short time.
"King Guanglong... King Qianxie... King Yuhe..."
The King Juehun's scarlet pupils contracted sharply. He had actually summoned the First Second Army Lord, and Third Army Lord First Army Lord?
Was it to prevent me from obstructing the arrest operation?
King Juehun sneered, "It's just capturing a few immortals, yet you need three Army Lords to protect you. Jiang Yao, did the Chaos City Lord not bestow upon you a treasure capable of capturing 11 Immortal God?"
Jiang Yao remained calm. He knew that this was King Juehun mocking him for being able to become the Inspector Envoy only because he relied on the treasures bestowed by the Chaos City Lord, and for killing two Immortal God, including a low-ranking Marquis Immortal.
However, this statement is not entirely wrong. Even though he possessed the combat strength of a high-ranking Marquis-level, he was able to easily kill Immortal Expert, especially the Black Moon God Lord, which was indeed due to the Supreme Treasure Shiwu Wings.
"Thanks to the reminder from Virtual Universe Company, those 11 bastards committed such a serious crime behind my back. I have already expelled them from my service. They are no longer my subordinates. You may arrest whomever you wish. I will not entertain you." King Juehun said to Jiang Yao with a cold smile.
Jiang Yao's eyes were icy cold. "I am the Inspector Envoy of the Virtual Universe Company. Do you think you can hide the whereabouts of your subordinates from others, but from the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence system?"
King Juehun frowned. "So you came here to show off to me?"
"The King Juehun of the Xuanshang Universe Country instructed the Black Moon God Lord, Sena, Deseniya, and 12 other Immortal God to raise human slaves to refine Blood Source Liquid. Their crimes are heinous and seriously violate the laws of the Universe Country and the regulations of the Virtual Universe Company. I hereby order the First, Second, and Third Group Army to arrest them!"
Jiang Yao shouted sternly, "Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
"What?! You dare to kill me?!"
The King Juehun's scarlet eyes revealed extreme shock and anger, even a hint of absurdity.
He, the King Juehun, the most beloved disciple of the Undying Venerable, King-level Immortal member of the Giant Axe Coliseum, a noble being whom even the heads of the Xuanshang Branch the Giant Axe Coliseum treated with respect, dared to kill this Ling Tong Clan brat who wasn't even Immortal God!
"Haha, King Juehun, I've disliked you for a long time!"
Before King Juehun could react, the Second Army Lord, King Qianxie, charged forward, followed closely by the Third Army Lord, King Yuhe.
Jiang Yao glanced at the several King-level Immortal who had attended the banquet of the King Juehun, who were still in shock not far away. "This operation is only aimed at the King Juehun. I hope you will not interfere with the law enforcement of the Virtual Universe Company."
