As the water droplet released its dazzling light, the powerful binding force around Jiang Yao was broken. Then, spacetime distorted, and he seemed to fall into a vortex, instantly plunging into a vast ocean.

Jiang Yao could feel the terrifying power contained in the surrounding seawater, as if a single drop of water could annihilate him. However, the seawater did not harm him at all, gently enveloping him and allowing him to escape from the three Monster Race Venerable in an instant.

"Damn it!" roared the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable, "Grab him!"

All three of them are Universe Venerable. Jiang Yao is not much stronger than an ant in their eyes. Killing him is easy, but preventing Jiang Yao from being resurrected is not simple. It requires a certain amount of time to process. This is one of the purposes of the Supreme Treasure, the Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage, to buy them time to prevent Jiang Yao from being resurrected and to allow themselves to escape.

But at this moment, the sudden appearance of Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain meant that they no longer had time to trap Jiang Yao in an irreversible death.

Even if they gave up, the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable were still unwilling. As assassins, they wanted to kill the most dazzling genius of mankind. As Venerable, their clan naturally provided them with escape items. Even if the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain suddenly appeared, as long as the Supreme Treasure Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage was still there, they could escape with ease.

From the appearance of the Giant Serpent Venerable and his Soul Attack on Jiang Yao, to the arrival of the Youyuan Venerable but being blocked by the Supreme Treasure Supreme Treasure Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage, and then to the sudden appearance of the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain, only a few moments had passed in the blink of an eye.

The Xuanshang Universe Lord can scatter the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain into countless water droplets, which can then lurk within the God Kingdom Remains in the Space Interlayer of the Great Rift. Furthermore, he can directly summon other water droplets through the wormholes inside the droplets to form the complete Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain. However, it is not easy for the true body of the Xuanshang Universe Lord to break through the obstruction of the Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage and descend upon the God Kingdom Remains.

Therefore, the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable still intends to capture Jiang Yao and deal with him after returning to the Monster Race.

The Monster Race Venerable simultaneously unleashed several divine powers, tearing through the ocean as heavy as the Milky Way Galaxy, and rushing straight towards Jiang Yao.

Even though the attacks of the three Universe Venerable were mostly consumed by the ocean formed by the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain, a sliver still managed to slip through the net and snatched at Jiang Yao with lightning speed.

Jiang Yao was now completely overwhelmed by the terrifying force emanating from him, leaving him with no power of his own and only able to watch helplessly as the two sides battled.

Just as the giant hand formed by the divine power of the Monster Race Venerable was about to engulf Jiang Yao, a point of golden light suddenly shot out from the depths of the ocean, accompanied by a tremendous force that sucked Jiang Yao into that point of golden light.

As Jiang Yao was disoriented and felt the space-time shifting, the golden light grew larger almost Teleportation, rushing towards the attack launched by the Monster Race Venerable.

The two heads of the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable suddenly changed color.

That golden light was actually a warship!

A golden ancient ship!

An aura that seemed capable of destroying the world emanated from the golden ancient ship.

"The Guluo Golden Ship!!" the Giant Serpent Venerable screamed.

The golden behemoth seemed completely unaffected by the speed of light within the ocean formed by the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain, Domain-type Supreme Treasure, and crashed into the attack launched by the three Monster Race Venerable at a speed that no one could react to.

The three attacks of divine power at the Universe Venerable level collapsed like bubbles, and the divine power was completely annihilated!

After the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable let out a wail, it had no intention of retaliating. Like a stray dog, it was about to leave the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain, not even bothering to pay attention to the other two Venerable.

The golden ship arrived in front of the two Monster Race Venerable, the giant serpent and the Unicorn Beast, in an instant.

Rumble!

Amidst a deafening roar like the destruction of galaxies, the divine bodies of the two Monster Race Venerable were shattered, and a vast amount of their divine power was annihilated!

The giant golden ship also seemed to be completely exhausted, its aura greatly diminished, and its golden light dimmed.

Before the two Venerable could reassemble their massive divine bodies, a colossal wave surged forth, sweeping the fragments of the two Monster Race Venerable that had been blasted apart into the vast ocean.

The divine bodies had just begun to condense when they were scattered by the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain. After this happened several times, the golden giant ship emitted a golden light that transformed into a net, directly catching the fragments of the divine bodies of the two Monster Race Venerable and pulling them back into the golden ship.

Then the golden ship began to shake violently, seemingly suppressing the two Venerable.

Jiang Yao, after being drawn into the golden light by that immense power, found himself on the deck of a giant golden ship, dazzled as he watched the ship annihilate the Monster Race Venerable's attack and shatter the divine bodies of two Monster Race Venerable.

The terrifying, world-destroying power made him tremble, yet it had no effect on him whatsoever.

As soon as they emerged from the sea, Jiang Yao saw the only escaped Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable's Golden-Silver Eyes gleaming. Then, the Myriad Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage, Supreme Treasure that covered and enveloped the entire God Kingdom Remains, suddenly contracted, instantly shrinking to surround the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable's body, like a purple cage.

A hazy, chaotic light shone down, and without the obstruction of the Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage, Youyuan Venerable immediately descended upon the God Kingdom Remains.

In the hazy, chaotic light, a blinding ray appeared, followed by another figure in the God Kingdom. It was a boy about two meters tall, with purple light patterns covering his body and long, silver-white hair flowing down his back.

It was the Xuanshang Universe Lord had once summoned Jiang Yao in the palace of the Xuanshang Continent in the Virtual Universe.

"Venerable Anmeng, it's been a long time." The young man's expression was calm, and his voice was as clear and crisp as the striking of a bronze chime.

"Xuanshang Universe Lord!" The enormous eyes on the two heads of the Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable stared at the boy, then turned to the Youyuan Venerable was dressed in black robes and had a graceful figure.

Only Youyuan Venerable has the ability to teleport people to his location over long distances.

After the boy appeared, the golden giant ship seemed to completely suppress the two already injured Monster Race Venerable. A stream of Flowing Light shot out from the golden giant ship, revealing its form.

It was a young man nearly five meters tall, covered in scales and feathers, with three sharp horns on his head. The scaled-feathered youth laughed heartily, "You Monster Race have always been stupid. Did you think we couldn't guess that you would hide in the God Kingdom Remains, following the Void Tide, and infiltrate the Tianshang Secret Realm? Haha, we've been waiting for you."

"Guluo!"

The Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable lamented in his heart, realizing that he had actually encountered the siege of the renowned trio of Xuanshang Universe Lord, Youyuan Venerable, and Guluo Venerable.

Among these three Xuanshang Universe Lord is the strongest, followed by Youyuan Venerable. Both are renowned Universe Overlord of the Human Race. Even if they cannot compare to Top Universe Overlord such as the Lord of Heavenly Erosion Palace Master, Ancestral Tree Venerable, and Star Prison Demon Lord, they are still outstanding individuals of the second tier.

Guluo Venerable is slightly weaker, he still possesses combat power approaching that of Universe Overlord, and he also has a colossal Super Divine Body avatar. In terms of how difficult he is to deal with, he is not much weaker than the Xuanshang Universe Lord and Youyuan Venerable.

If it were only Youyuan Venerable or the Xuanshang Universe Lord, he was confident that he could escape with the Supreme Treasure, the Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage. With the Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage and a trump card given to him by his clan, and being a member of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast clan, skilled in the Space-Time Law, he could create a wormhole at a great cost and escape directly from Human Territory.

However, since both the Xuanshang Universe Lord and Youyuan Venerable are present, Guluo Venerable, although it is said that his Super Divine Body avatar was severely injured in the Ancestral God Secret Realm not long ago, and just now he burned his divine power to fully support the Guluo Golden Ship to suppress two companions, the combat power he can exert at this moment is no weaker than that of a high-level Universe Venerable.

Each of these three was stronger than him, and even with his Supreme Treasure, he had virtually no hope of escape.

This assassination attempt targeted three Venerable within the clan, who thought it would be a simple matter. However, they did not expect that the humans valued Jiang Yao more than they had anticipated. Not only did the attempt fail, but two Universe Venerable were also lost.

Those two Universe Venerable were severely injured and suppressed inside the Supreme Treasure Guluo Golden Ship, making it impossible for them to self-destruct. If they were sent into the Initial Universe or the Giant Axe Universe and killed there, not only would the Universe Master not be able to revive them, but even their two demon ancestors would be unable to do so.

In the Primal Universe, killing a Universe Venerable and preventing their resurrection requires an extremely high price; the stronger the target, the greater the cost. However, for a superpower possessing the strongest being in the universe, it is much simpler. They can simply seal them away, bring them into the strongest being's Miniature Universe, and kill them, making resurrection nearly impossible.

This was another instance of being caught red-handed in the Core Land of human territory. The Monster Race was in the wrong, and if humans truly refused to make the Monster Race ransom them, preventing the two Venerable from being resurrected, the Monster Race would have little to say.

This loss would be enormous. The Youmo Master, who is currently in charge of external affairs for the Monster Race, does indeed attach great importance to Jiang Yao, believing that Jiang Yao has the potential to become Universe Overlord or even Top Universe Overlord. However, the Youmo Master does not necessarily believe that Jiang Yao can become Universe Venerable.

Even if it means losing two Universe Venerable while killing Jiang Yao and preventing his resurrection, it might not be worthwhile for the Monster Race, especially since Jiang Yao is still alive and well.

The Time-Space Nightmare Beast Venerable stared intently at Jiang Yao, who was still standing on the deck of the golden giant ship, his eyes flashing with cold light. If Jiang Yao could continue to live, one day he would make this human genius completely annihilate in the universe.

Protected by the Supreme Treasure Ten Thousand Moxibustion Cage, he is not afraid of being sealed away, and naturally, he can be resurrected by the Universe Master.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a torrent of energy spread out, shattering endless space and completely obliterating the God Kingdom Remains. The surrounding area seemed to be assimilated by the deepest and most terrifying Space Torrent Layer within the Space Interlayer.

However, with the Xuanshang Universe Lord and Youyuan Venerable present, the power of Monster Race expert who was close to a high-level Universe Venerable was quickly suppressed, restrained, and dissipated after his self-destruction.

Not to mention Jiang Yao standing on the deck of the Guluo Golden Ship, even the Immortal God who originally came to explore the God Kingdom Remains were all unharmed under the protection of the vast ocean formed by the Nine Whirlpools Thousand Wetlands Domain.

"Haha, although one escaped, this time we managed to suppress two Monster Race Venerable and even obtained a Supreme Treasure from the Monster Race. Combined with the rewards from the clan, it should be enough for my clone to recover some of its strength." The Guluo Venerable, covered in scales and feathers, beamed with joy as he looked at Jiang Yao and said, "Jiang Yao, I really have to thank you. Otherwise, how could I have caught two such big fish?"

Jiang Yao is Youyuan Venerable's junior brother. As Youyuan Venerable's sworn brother, Jiang Yao can be considered his junior brother in a certain sense. Although they had never met before, they were quite close.

Jiang Yao greeted Youyuan Venerable, the Xuanshang Universe Lord, and Guluo Venerable with a wry smile. The attack was indeed extremely dangerous, and he was already considering how to arrange his "aftermath." He didn't expect that Youyuan Venerable and the others had already made preparations, making him worry for nothing.

Youyuan Venerable laughed and said, "With your talent, you must have gained a lot from comprehending the Space-Time Law in the Tianshang Secret Realm this time, right?"

Jiang Yao respectfully replied, "Senior Sister, you are wise. I have indeed gained a lot. I plan to advance to the Realm Lord level after forging the Super Divine Weapon and return to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion for a while."

"Oh? So soon? You're already tired of being such a prestigious Inspector Envoy?" Youyuan Venerable teased.

Jiang Yao smiled wryly, knowing that his senior sister was referring to the turmoil he had stirred up in the Xuanshang Universe Country. The young-looking Xuanshang Universe Lord, however, remained calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about the bloodshed Jiang Yao had caused in his own Universe Country.

The reason he made the decision so quickly not to linger at the Domain Lord level was naturally because he had already completely achieved his purpose for this trip.

In the World Ring, one of the dozen or so treasure chests placed with Yedier's Inheritance Token had already been opened by the Crimson Thunder Grass clone, and it turned out to contain several pieces of armor, not fragments of Silver Cloth.

It seems that there was indeed more than one set of the <Shixing Canon>, and that it was not only engraved on Silver Cloth.

Under the starlight Inheritance Token the celestial runes resembling Star Core, numerous Shixing Race characters emerged on the armor fragments.

It contains the complete secret techniques of the second and third chapters of the "Shixing Canon," namely the method for the Five Hundred-Vine Crimson Thunder Grass to evolve into the Thousand-Vine Crimson Thunder Grass, and the secret technique for achieving Immortal God.

He had already obtained the third secret technique in an exchange with Yousa, the Invincible King-level Yongwu Race Clan, and the second secret technique, which could evolve into the Crimson Thunder Grass of the Thousand-Vine Perfect Form, was exactly what he wanted.

"The next task is to make as much money as possible." Jiang Yao couldn't help but worry. Whether it was evolving the Crimson Thunder Grass from 500 vines to 1008 vines or becoming Immortal God, it would require a massive amount of resources.

Suddenly he paused, a sliver of his consciousness separating in the Virtual Universe as Jiang Yao received an email.

His expression turned somewhat strange.

Because the sender of the email was none other than Zhenxuan King!

Inside the Virtual Universe manor, Jiang Yao opened the email, and then his expression became increasingly strange.

This was actually an email from Zhenxuan King, conveying a sense of resignation and apology. He not only apologized for the various "misunderstandings" that had occurred between him and Jiang Yao in the past, but also said that to show his sincerity in turning hostility into friendship, he could return the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal that Jiuyuan had once obtained to Jiang Yao and to the Lingtong Race.
