Killing King Tianmu!
Lingtong Star Domain, Jiuyuan Star.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Prince Jiang Yao!"
The warm and respectful greetings echoed around him, bringing Jiang Yao, who had been trapped in the Liuyu Crystal World for nearly 1,500 years, a long-lost sense of warmth.
Although he is addressed as Your Highness wherever he is, the Lingtong Race's use of the title "Your Highness" for Jiang Yao originates from the disciple of their ancestor Jiuyuan, making it seem more intimate.
"Your Highness, you're finally back." The endless worries and pressure in the heart of the Clan Leader Kasa vanished instantly. This not-so-tall figure was the pillar of the entire Lingtong Race, and he was becoming increasingly unfathomable.
With ample resources over the years, Kasa's strength has risen to near the peak of the Peak World Lord level, just a hair's breadth away from gaining the recognition of the Origin Law. Although he has not truly experienced Jiang Yao's strength, the three Alien Race immortals who had just caused him and the entire Lingtong Race to completely despair have become motionless puppets in front of Jiang Yao. They didn't even know how they disappeared, let alone fight.
Jiang Yao's strength had completely exceeded Kasa's expectations, to the point that Kasa couldn't even understand the battle.
"I never expected that an immortal from another Alien Race would suddenly descend upon us. Fortunately, Your Highness returned in time," Kasa exclaimed.
"Alien Race immortals..." Jiang Yao sneered, "They're nothing but Soul Slave."
Kasa and several other Elder who were guarding the Jiuyuan Star exclaimed in unison.
"Soul Slave?! Those are Immortal God..." Kasa's face showed horror. How terrifying must a powerful being be to be able to enslave Immortal God?
Jiang Yao said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. You don't need to worry about it."
A fleeting hint of murderous intent flashed in his voice.
The high-ranking Lingtong Race present all felt a chill. Kasa even thought of the massive purge that Jiang Yao, as the Inspector Envoy of the Xuanshang Universe Country, had launched, in which countless World Lord Level and even Immortal God like him were captured and executed.
This genius, whom he brought to the Xuanshang Auction more than two thousand years ago and had him advance the money to buy the auction items, has now become a powerful regional official with enough influence to affect the affairs of the Universe Country.
Jiang Yao turned to look at the young man standing respectfully to the side, his expression excited but resolute, a smile appearing in his eyes, "You fused with the Xueluo Crystal?"
Qianhuo felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. "I owe my success to Your Highness's help. I feel a change, a leap, deep within my cells... and a strange energy..."
After saying that, a seemingly simple yet incredibly mysterious Blood-red Secret Patterns appeared on Qianhuo's forehead.
Half intoxicated and half excited, Qianhuo said, "I can already vaguely sense the Universe Origin Law, not just the Origin Law of Fire, but also the fluctuations of the other nine fundamental laws of the universe. I feel that my connection with the Universe Origin is becoming closer!"
"Really?!" Kasa and the other realm lord Elder were all shocked. "This... this Xueluo Crystal has such powerful effects? This is too heaven-defying!"
Those who can comprehend even a trace of the Origin Law at the stellar or cosmic level can be considered unparalleled geniuses of their rank. At the stellar level, they are enough to rank among the top 500 in the Genius Tournament of the Universe Country, while at the cosmic level, they may even pass the preliminary elimination rounds.
Those who can comprehend even an Origin Law at the stellar or cosmic level can be considered top core geniuses of their race. Even among the peak bloodlines of the Talun Race, Vajra Race, and Bihe Race, they are geniuses who surpass their peers.
The reason it is so difficult is that for most human races, they must raise their domain to the eighth or ninth level before they can perceive the fluctuations of the Origin Law that are similar to the domain's attributes.
Wouldn't a single Xueluo Crystal be enough to create an unparalleled genius?
However, considering that over the years, only one Lingtong Race, Qianhuo, had successfully fused, the excitement of Kasa and the other Lingtong Race Elder subsided slightly.
Jiang Yao thought to himself that this Xueluo Crystal wasn't even sold or exchanged in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury; it only appeared at the Hong Alliance's auctions. Its uses were far more than just this.
In fact, Jiang Yao was extremely surprised that the Qianhuo could be successfully fused. Even among the Core Layer geniuses of the Virtual Universe Company, only one in a hundred could fuse a Xueluo Crystal to become Blood Warrior.
The fact that these Qianhuo were able to fuse successfully demonstrates that their will and state of mind must be extraordinary.
"Could it be that when I went to the Black Moon Sacred Land to complete the points mission, I actually picked up a genius by accident?" Jiang Yao wondered.
With Jiang Yao's perspective, the standard for being called a genius is naturally not as low as entering the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company.
This Qianhuo Realm is the ninth level of the Universe level. His comprehension of the Origin Law of Fire is not high. It is only slightly higher than the threshold of just entering the Origin Law. He is considered a top genius in the Universe Country, but in the Virtual Universe Company, he is only at the level of the End-of-the-World Secret Realm, which is far from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.
With the "Desolate God Bizhang" Huanling available for contemplation and to comprehend the essence of the Desolate God, having cultivated to this level for over a thousand years, Jiang Yao naturally wouldn't consider him a genius; he could even be considered "mediocre."
But the ability to fuse with Xueluo Crystal is extraordinary.
The Lingtong Race may be able to continuously produce geniuses who have awakened the so-called "Ninth Top-grade Bloodline Divine Ability" and can constantly comprehend the Beast God Intent of "Bizhang". However, without the heaven-defying conditions of a soul like Jiang Yao's, which has been transformed three times by the Xu Yuan Space, even if the Intent is right in front of them, it is not easy to comprehend or analyze it. It is impossible for them to have the same speed of improvement as Jiang Yao.
Without the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God, one's physical genes cannot break through their limits. Relying solely on the Law Comprehension would make it impossible to become a genius of heaven-defying caliber; at most, one would only be a genius of the level of Bolan.
But the Xueluo Crystal might give Qianhuo, whose talent is mediocre, a Qianhuo of a chance to defy fate.
"Besides me, the Lingtong Race still needs to quickly produce a strong individual who can uphold its reputation." After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yao said to Qianhuo, "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
After her Qianhuo was overwhelmed with excitement and immediately bowed to her master.
Because of his authority Inspector Envoy the Xuanshang Universe Country, Jiang Yao launched a massive purge that affected the entire Universe Country. His prestige and status among the Lingtong Race had long surpassed that of the fallen Jiuyuan, making him as supreme as a god.
Moreover, Jiang Yao was his savior, and even though he was just a nominal disciple, Qianhuo was extremely excited.
"Teacher," Qianhuo suddenly frowned, "But I've already been promoted to the Core Layer by the Virtual Universe Company's Martial Department, and I'll be going to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters soon."
"It's alright, I'll be back in the Initial Universe soon." Jiang Yao ignored Qianhuo's confusion about the term "Initial Universe" and said calmly, "Being my disciple isn't easy. Since you've been absorbed into the Core Layer, the Martial Department should have told you about the Core Layer's hierarchy. When you can enter the Primal Secret Realm, that's when you can become my personal disciple."
Qianhuo's expression was resolute. "This disciple will certainly not let Master down!"
Within a star system controlled by the Vajra Race, atop a tower on a yellowish-brown planet, the King Tianmu unleashed a furious tirade against the Vajra Race immortals within the hall. "Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Didn't you say you'd already planted spies within the Lingtong Race? How come there's still no news?!"
Ever since the three Alien Race Immortal Servant he secretly sent out of the Lingtong Star Domain mysteriously disappeared, King Tianmu had become increasingly uneasy. However, several days had passed, and he still could not obtain any information about the process of the Immortal Servant' disappearance in the Lingtong Star Domain or any other definite news. He only knew that Jiang Yao had indeed returned and had even broken through to the Realm Lord level, which greatly surprised the major powers of the Xuanshang Universe Country. Their original malice and probing against the Lingtong Race vanished in an instant.
"Get lost!" After dismissing the trembling Vajra Race Immortal, King Tianmu forcibly suppressed his unease and narrowed his eyes. "Perhaps he has other unknown treasures bestowed by the Chaos City Lord? That's right, otherwise he wouldn't have survived the Zerg scheme. But it doesn't matter, it's a good thing for the Lingtong Race. Jiang Yao has offended far too many forces and powerful figures, so it's impossible for him to know that I did it."
"Hmph, even if Jiang Yao has some other means to obtain memories from those three Soul Slave and knows that I was the one who ordered it, so what?"
King Tianmu's expression hardened. "Unless it's a crime like refining 'Blood Source Liquid' that involves the mass slaughter of life, he can't do anything to me. Besides, he's already a Realm Lord and no longer serves as the Inspector Envoy. Without that position, what is he to me?"
"That's right!" King Tianmu's eyes lit up. "Without the status of Inspector Envoy, he can't mobilize King Guanglong's three Army Lords. He's just a Realm Lord. So what if he's a Realm Lord with the strength of Marquis-level? Heh, not to mention that after becoming a Realm Lord, he's not far from the life-or-death trials. I have plenty of ways and time to deal with the Lingtong Race!"
Jiang Yao was, after all, the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord. Unless the King Tianmu betrayed Alien Race and colluded with other races like the Zhenxuan King, he had neither the ability nor the courage to do anything to Jiang Yao. The more powerless the King of Heavenly Eyes was to deal with Jiang Yao, the more he held the hatred of killing his son against the Lingtong Race and wanted to destroy the Lingtong Race to take revenge on Jiang Yao.
"You can escape for a while, but not forever!" King Tianmu sneered, constantly reassuring himself, "How could the Alien Race races let this go after their scheme failed? Most of the fallen human geniuses died in the trials of life and death. I have plenty of time to wait for news of your demise!"
Suddenly, the King Tianmu's expression changed. He looked up and seemed to be able to see space through the tower walls.
After three faint spatial ripples, three terrifyingly powerful auras suddenly appeared, causing the space itself to tremble!
"Teleportation —who is it?!" King Tianmu was horrified.
Without exception, those capable of Teleportation are at least at the same level as him, all being high-ranking experts at the High King!
However, these three suddenly appearing auras far surpassed those of the High King.
"Could it be the Peak King?! How is that possible..." The King Tianmu's mind when, driven by his keen intuition of danger, he instinctively tried to Teleportation away. Then, a look of horror appeared on his face. "Space Seal?"
The surrounding space is sealed off!
King Tianmu dared not leave the tower. Through the tower wall, he saw three figures of different shapes and revealed an incredulous expression. "Monster Race? Spiral Terror Golden Spider... Haihui Race... Qianhe Race... How is this possible?"
Three immortal King-level from Alien Race actually came to the core star field of the Vajra Race of the Xuanshang Universe Country and even sought him out!
This left King Tianmu somewhat incredulous.
"Who are you?! How dare you invade the Human Territory!"
While shouting questions, King Tianmu was sending out mass emails through the Virtual Universe.
"Three Immortal Expert from Alien Race have invaded the Xuanshang Universe Country, led by the Spiral Terror Golden Spider Eighteen Royal Clans of the Demon Race of the demon race! All are at the Peak King. Requesting reinforcements!!"
There were quite a few King-level Immortal the Xuanshang Universe Country. King Tianmu's face was gloomy. Each of the three King-level Immortal from Alien Race was far stronger than him, but he was confident that he could delay until the other Human Race powerhouses arrived.
The three Alien Race King-level Immortal in space gazed at the solitary tower on the planet. A fierce light gleamed in the dozens of eyes of the spider-like behemoth. "This Vajra Race truly lives up to its reputation as a pinnacle of human bloodline. A mere high-ranking King-level from a branch possesses such Heavy Treasure!"
"Attack!"
Three powerful experts at the Peak King realm unleashed a devastating attack together!
The starry sky was torn apart, space was fragmented, and even obliterated into a stream of particles.
After a dazzling flash of light, like a stellar explosion, the yellowish-brown planet turned to dust, leaving not a trace.
An attack from Peak King expert can destroy even a star, let alone a planet!
But the giant brown tower did not perish; it stood tall in the starry sky, as if it had not suffered any damage!
"It truly is Heavy Treasure!" the Spiral Terror Golden Spider hissed. "We probably won't be able to deal with him anytime soon!"
If the battle drags on, it could attract other powerful human beings, and even if they use Space Seal, it won't delay them for long.
Inside the giant tower, the King Tianmu's entire divine body reassembled from the fragments, his aura slightly diminished.
Even the attacks of three Peak King experts, weakened by the tower-like Heavy Treasure, could not cause much damage to his Undying Body. Killing him would probably take a considerable amount of time.
This is the power of Heavy Treasure!
King Tianmu, being a High King, would normally not be qualified to possess a Heavy Treasure. However, as the strongest member of the Vajra Race Xuanshang Branch, he was also granted a Heavy Treasure by the Ape-man Race's Holy Temple for protection. Of course, this Heavy Treasure could not be taken out of the Vajra Race's territory.
"Hmph! You want to kill me? Impossible! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
While pondering why powerful beings from Alien Race, especially immortal Monster Race, would come to assassinate him, King Tianmu browsed the information replies in the Virtual Universe. The King Guanglong of the First Group Army and other King-level powerhouses were almost there!
Just then, he saw strands of white silk threads descend from the sky, beginning to bind the entire giant tower, as if to form a cocoon and restrain it.
"What the hell?"
The King Tianmu peered through the tower wall at the white silk threads emanating from the King-level Immortal mouthparts of the Spiral Terror Golden Spider King.
He knew this was a unique Innate Secret Technique of the Spiral Terror Golden Spider, capable of sealing powerful beings, preventing them from connecting with the Universe Origin Law, and depriving them of the power to break free and resist.
"This Monster Race King-level wants to suppress me?!"
Before King Tianmu could come up with a solution, the massive body of the Spiral Terror Golden Spider flashed with golden light, and then the three Peak King experts and the giant tower bound by white silk threads suddenly disappeared.
The Spiral Terror Golden Spider wasn't there to seal away the King Tianmu, but rather to use its Innate Secret Technique to teleport the King Tianmu and the giant Teleportation away.
After the Spiral Terror Golden Spider and the others Teleportation away, several figures appeared one after another within a few seconds.
Several human King-level Immortal looked at the empty starry sky in astonishment.
"Isn't this the location of the Yunshen Star, where King Tianmu? Where is the Yunshen Star?"
Where is King Tianmu?
"King Tianmu has gone offline in the Virtual Universe!"
"Dead?"
In the vast expanse of space billions of light-years away, a tiny human figure stands silently in space.
Ripples appeared in the space, and several powerful auras suddenly emerged.
It was the three King-level Immortal, led by the Spiral Terror Golden Spider, and a massive tower wrapped in silk threads.
"Master, I've brought it!" The Spiral Terror Golden Spider retracted its white silk thread.
The King Tianmu, who had regained his connection with the Universe Origin Law, looked across the tower wall with an expression of disbelief.
"Jiang Yao?!?"
Jiang Yao's figure appeared so small, yet so majestic, compared to the three enormous Alien Race King-level Immortal.
It was as if those three King-level Immortal from Alien Race were merely servants before him; he was the master, the king.
"King Tianmu, it's been a long time." Jiang Yao smiled faintly.
