Zhenxuan King's Madness
A towering figure, tens of thousands of kilometers high, carrying a massive stone club, strolled over.
"Teacher."
"City Lord."
Unlike the other Immortal God who were stunned with fear, Youyuan Venerable and the Xuanshang Universe Lord stood respectfully before the giant, their hearts trembling.
The Chaos City Lord this time was actually the one who oversaw the Initial Universe. This avatar was second only to the Slaughter Clone who fought in the Universe Ocean, and was almost unmatched in the Primal Universe. It was even stronger than the avatar who oversaw the Virtual Universe Company.
It is clear that the Chaos City Lord rushed over in a great hurry after receiving the message from Youyuan Venerable.
However, to Youyuan Venerable's surprise, the Chaos City Lord did not seem to be furious.
The giant that suddenly appeared had silvery-white skin, thousands of tentacles on its head, and its eyes, which were larger than a lake, remained calm.
The starry river covering the entire Talun Continent surged and carried all the Immortal God away from the palace. Several light-years wide, blurry rivers encircled the nearby starry sky, leaving only the Xuanshang Universe Lord and Youyuan Venerable in the arena.
After listening to Youyuan Venerable's description, the Chaos City Lord remained silent for a moment. A slight ripple appeared in his huge, lake-like eyes before returning to calm. He said gently, "Things have come to this, Youyuan, you don't need to blame yourself."
The Chaos City Lord sighed, "My treatment of Jiang Yao, including having you Universe Overlord, protect him at all times, has caused some dissatisfaction within the company and even among other forces. I just didn't expect the Zerg to still find a loophole."
In fact, besides the fact that the Chaos City Lord was making Universe Overlord protect a Primal Secret Region Member at the Domain Lord level, the other reason for the dissatisfaction with the Lord of Chaos City's actions was Jiang Yao's display of Marquis Level combat power.
Many people believe that the Chaos City Lord bestowed Heavy Treasure upon Jiang Yao, artificially and excessively increasing his combat power, which violates the usual practice of humans cultivating geniuses.
The Heavy Treasure are items that even some Universe Venerable covet. The fact that the Chaos City Lord bestowed them upon Jiang Yao, who was still at the Domain Lord level, and possibly more than one, has indeed caused great dissatisfaction among many people.
Heaven knows, the Chaos City Lord's regret over Kedi was indeed somewhat impulsive, and he bestowed two Heavy Treasure upon Jiang Yao: the Shiwu Wings and the soul-type Heavy Treasure, the Fuyuan Realm.
However, both of these items are actually for self-preservation. Jiang Yao's ability to unleash his Marquis Immortal combat power has absolutely nothing to do with these two treasures.
The Treasure of Shiwu Wings can indeed generate spatial power and has the ability to destroy divine bodies, but the amount and strength of spatial power it can generate are closely related to its basic strength.
Jiang Yao estimated that he possessed the basic strength of Immortal Army Lord.
With a level of Law Comprehension at the Marquis Level, he should be able to reach the Immortal Army Lord Peak, or approach the combat power of Marquis Immortal.
In reality, Jiang Yao's combat strength, especially in the battle against the Black Moon God Lord, even reached the High-level Marquis, which is a huge difference.
The Chaos City Lord was unaware that Jiang Yao's Chiling clone had encountered Prison Race Venerable in the "Prison," and was forced to activate his Origin Blood Essence, resulting in a tremendous leap in his physical abilities and a comprehension of the Space-Time Law reaching the level of the 17th floor of the Heavenly Bridge.
However, it was understandable that his young disciple might have other opportunities, but no one expected the unexpected to come so soon.
Even with such strong protection, it still couldn't stop it.
The Xuanshang Universe Lord said solemnly, "We didn't expect that the Zerg would dare to launch an attack so soon after the three Monster Race Venerable were killed here."
Compared to the assassination attempts of the Monster Race, the Zerg's schemes were much simpler and more ingenious.
Who would have thought that the Zerg would dare to openly make a move at this banquet where so many Immortal God of the Xuanshang Universe Country were gathered?
Even the Zerg Venerable didn't show himself; he merely used that strange stone to fight them across countless light-years. To this day, they still don't know what kind of treasure that stone is.
"He has completely logged off in the Virtual Universe." The Chaos City Lord opened his eyes after closing them. "The Zhenxuan King has also logged off."
Youyuan Venerable asked worriedly, "Could Jiang Yao... already...?"
The Chaos City Lord's enormous, lake-like eyes reflected the starry sky, and time in the entire void began to flow backward rapidly...
"He cannot be resurrected." The Chaos City Lord said slowly, "Either the Zerg designed something to prevent his resurrection, or... he is still alive."
Seeing the relieved expressions on the faces of Youyuan Venerable and the Xuanshang Universe Lord, the Chaos City Lord sighed inwardly and said, "Zhenxuan King logged off into the Virtual Universe with him. I'm more inclined to believe that Jiang Yao is trapped inside that strange stone and unable to connect to the Virtual Universe."
"There aren't many things that can shield the Virtual Universe Origin. The strongest beings in the universe can do it, as can the Primal Universe. There are also some inheritances or treasures from before the Great Destruction and in the Universe Ocean, such as the Shixing Race, who are suspected of possessing inheritances from before the Great Destruction."
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord: "If it's a treasure from the Universe Ocean, the possibility is much greater. Furthermore, you said that the Monster Race Venerable doesn't seem to be the owner of that stone, but can only control it through Spiritual Imprint... Such a treasure is extremely rare and precious."
Youyuan Venerable knew that even if Jiang Yao were alive, he would likely be in grave danger. His worries were compounded by a hint of doubt. "How could Zhenxuan King be like that? It's impossible. If he had died after being enslaved by the Zerg Mother Emperor, Lancang Lord would have surely discovered it when he resurrected him."
Since Zhenxuan King was killed by the Immortal Zerg Mother Emperor Longye, Youyuan Venerable naturally suspected that he had long been enslaved by the Zerg Mother Emperor.
The Chaos City Lord shook his head slightly. "The Zerg are skilled in the Soul Path. This Soul Path is not as simple as enslavement. Sometimes enslavement is not necessary. A person's personality and thoughts are constantly changing. The Soul Attack or illusion attack that the Zerg Mother Emperor used on Zhenxuan King may have affected his personality and thoughts, such as making his personality more extreme and biased."
"It is not necessary to directly enslave them, but simply to exert influence, it is very likely to make a person make a choice that they would not normally make under great pressure, or even willingly submit to Alien Race."
"Jiang Yao must be putting a lot of pressure on Zhenxuan King. It's not impossible that Zhenxuan King, under the influence of the Zerg Mother Emperor, has become even more distorted and extreme, and has chosen to side with the Alien Race."
"It's already quite good that you were able to shatter and erase the Zerg Venerable's Spiritual Imprint at the last moment. The rest depends on Jiang Yao's own luck." After comforting his disciple, the Chaos City Lord's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, "As for the Zerg, hmph, they must take revenge!"
New and old grudges surged up in his heart, igniting the Chaos City Lord's fury.
Just as the conflict between humans and Monster Race was brewing because of Jiang Yao himself was too preoccupied to worry about the outside world.
He found himself in a strange and vast world, with towering mountain ranges, expansive oceans and lakes.
The whole world felt so unfamiliar, and what was most unfamiliar to him was the complete inability to perceive the Virtual Universe.
Jiang Yao was shocked. The last time he was unable to log into the Virtual Universe was in the Trial Tower of the Immortal Trial God Kingdom of the Shixing Race.
But that time he was able to sense the Virtual Universe, only there was a mysterious force preventing him from connecting and logging in. He guessed it was caused by the Virtual Universe patterns on the inner wall of the tower.
Bajie once speculated that the maze-like patterns on the surface of this Mystic Pattern Element Crystal might be a powerful and profound script similar to the Yan Script, and it was very likely related to the legacy of Yedier.
But this time, the existence of the Virtual Universe was completely imperceptible, let alone a connection.
"Could it be that I've entered the Miniature Universe of some supreme being, just like Luo Feng?" Jiang Yao was somewhat terrified. If he had really been swallowed into the Miniature Universe of the Monster Race Ancestor, he would be doomed. The supreme being of the universe could kill him a billion times over with a single thought.
They might even be able to use the connection to kill his Chiling clone as well.
The power of the strongest being in the universe is absolutely unimaginable.
"Chiling clone?" Jiang Yao was startled and immediately called out to Chiling clone with his consciousness. He found that the connection between him and the clone was normal, and the Xu Yuan Space also existed normally.
This put him at ease, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a powerful divine attack struck him with lightning speed.
Jiang Yao only had time to Shiwu Wings in front of him. Ninety percent of the impact was blocked by the wings, and the remaining ten percent caused Jiang Yao to dissipate his body. He barely managed to neutralize it with his Zhenhuang Undying Body ".
However, he also suffered minor injuries. But Jiang Yao had no time to pay attention to his injuries. With a flap of his wings, he flashed into the sky like a ghost.
"Unable to Teleportation! Speed has also decreased significantly! The Large Probe isn't reacting at all... Either the detector is malfunctioning in this strange world, or the opponent has a higher-level detector that can shield and conceal itself from mine."
Jiang Yao's mind raced as he looked at the person who had launched the attack.
The Zhenxuan King was slender, clad in Black Battle Armor, and had removed his Bronze Mask.
The Zhenxuan King had shed all the silence and restraint Jiang Yao was familiar with. His expression was ferocious, and his smile was arrogant, "Hahahaha! You are nothing but a lowly slave. The Lingtong Race... Hmph, the Lingtong Race's Bloodline Divine Ability are all worthless and insignificant. How could they possibly produce a monster like you?"
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat; it seemed that the Zhenxuan King had conducted an extremely thorough investigation into him.
"The Path of the Beast God! The Space-Time Law!" Zhenxuan King narrowed his eyes, revealing a terrifying killing intent and greed. "I am a genius of the Talun Race, a peak human bloodline. All the geniuses among the peak bloodlines are inferior to you. How is that possible?!"
"You definitely have a secret, haha, you've finally fallen into my hands. Don't even think about anyone coming to save you. Even beings above the level of Immortal God can't get in, and the people here can't get out. You have no idea what kind of despairing hell this place is."
Jiang Yao said coldly, "You actually dare to betray humanity and side with Alien Race."
"Hahaha! What wouldn't I dare to do!" Zhenxuan King's expression twisted. "You forced me to this! Hmph, I fear no one here! Even your teacher, the Chaos City Lord, couldn't save you! Let me see just how many treasures the Chaos City Lord bestowed upon you, only to have them all become mine now!"
Having said that, he lunged at Jiang Yao.
