"Watch out!!" Vice Captain Huanchen shouted.

"Don't worry, Xisai will be fine." Jialuo's gaze was deep as he pulled Huanchen into Aodisi's World Ring. Then, before the violent energy tsunami arrived, the golden-haired Aodisi frantically activated his Innate Secret Technique "Teleportation." Although each Teleportation could not exceed a million kilometers, it was enough for him to escape the self-destruction range of the 'Qidu' and the immortal Moho Beast.

The power generated by the self-destruction of two Peak Marquis- level experts was earth-shattering, but naturally it was no match for Jiang Yao.

The Thousand-God Phantom Armor Bead is a genuine Heavy Treasure; even the self-destruction of King-level Immortal could not threaten him.

After the violent energy subsided, Aodisi, who had escaped the self-destruction, was released again by his teammates whom he had stored in his World Ring.

Captain Jialuo and the other immortals of the Divine Spirit Squad watched in shock as a young man clad in Ink Armor, with crimson hair and skin covered in Silver Secret Patterns flew towards them.

"Xisai, you..."

"Boss!"

"We can talk about other things later. That Monster Race immortal must have called for help. Let's hurry up and leave," Jiang Yao said.

Jialuo's expression had returned to calm, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, let's go quickly."

The other team members, despite their shock and pent-up emotions, could only suppress their feelings. They quickly entered the F9-grade Metal spaceship released by Jialuo, transforming into streaks of Flowing Light and disappearing into the sky.

Before long, when several spaceships arrived at this area of space, the force of their self-destruction had already wiped out the last trace of them.

Inside the safety cabin of the spacecraft.

"Xisai." In the oppressive silence inside the safe pod, Captain Jialuo finally spoke, a slight smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to already be King-level Immortal, and not only are you skilled in Light-Time Purification Attacks, but you are also skilled in the Law of Thunder Time Combination. Those three combat puppets should be the famous 'Wuyan Puppet' of the Machine Race, made from the top-grade G-Grade metal 'Wuyan Thunder Gold'. Three 'Wuyan Puppet' are enough to trap King-level Immortal for a while."

"I never expected that the Qidu and Moho Beast Immortals would be so unlucky as to run into you. If it weren't for your expertise in the Law of Lightning and Law of Time, even a normal King-level Immortal would have a hard time escaping."

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes. He had only just remembered the origin of the three Mechanical Puppet that attacked him after the Immortal Moho Beast self-destructed and he had put the three puppets that had lost control of him into his World Ring. The Virtual Universe Company's treasury contained books recording the precious treasures of various races, and many of these books required certain permissions to purchase. The 'Wuyan Puppet' was not common, and the fact that this Jialuo could recognize its origin at a glance showed that its identity was indeed not simple.

Windshadow's expression was excited as he murmured, "No wonder you were able to break through the encirclement of those three Metal Puppet, boss. Could it be that the inheritance you received wasn't about the Path of the Path of the Beast God, but rather an inheritance combining the Law of Time?"

More than a thousand epochs ago, 'Xisai' led them across the Xuehuan Continent and they gained a great deal in a Treasure Land. Windshadow, Leo, and Demonhorn obtained the Crystal Race's combined attack technique and other treasures.

Meanwhile, 'Xisai,' who lost contact with the Monster Race team while being pursued, was rumored to have obtained some kind of precious inheritance related to the Path of the Beast God, which once caused a great uproar. However, after leaving the Outer-Region Battlefield, 'Xisai' disappeared without a trace, and as time passed, his fame gradually faded away.

Although Jialuo wore an expression of admiration, he was still thinking to himself that the scene of Jiang Yao using the Thunder Spear to send three G-Grade Mechanical Puppet flying was still shocking. To do that, 'Xisai's' Law Comprehension was probably not just at the level of a newly entered King Level. His understanding of the laws of Thunder Time combination was even greater than his famous Light-Time Purification Path.

Jiang Yao smiled but remained silent in the face of Windshadow's curious question.

The identity of 'Xisai' did indeed obtain a precious inheritance related to the Path of the Beast God back then—although he didn't take it seriously, it was definitely not an inheritance combining the Thunder Time Laws.

Seeing Jiang Yao remain silent, the others knew that this kind of inheritance was related to the very foundation of a strong person and could not be inquired about casually. If Windshadow and 'Xisai' were not old comrades-in-arms, the others would not have dared to ask.

However, Jiang Yao's silence implicitly acknowledged the issue. After all, "Blood Blade Marquis" Xisai's strongest method was the Purification Path, which combined the Law of Light-Time. He had never heard of him being proficient in other laws. In just over a thousand epochs, he was able to gain the Law Comprehension Thunder Time at the King Level. How could he have done this if he had not obtained some kind of precious inheritance related to it?

"Haha, that's great! With the King-level Immortal, crossing the 'Death Corridor' and reaching the Xuehuan Continent will be even easier!"

"Xi... you are no longer Blood Blade Marquis, but should be respectfully addressed as Blood Blade King. Humanity has given birth to another King-level Immortal." Even the usually proud vice-captain Huanchen sighed, "I was even hoping to spar with you before."

The King-level Immortal and the Marquis Immortal are two different levels. If Jiang Yao hadn't suddenly revealed his King Level combat power, they would probably have had to flee in a sorry state. With Aodisi, who possesses the Innate Secret Technique of 'Teleportation', their Divine Spirit Squad's ability to protect themselves is still quite strong.

"Xisai," Jialuo said solemnly, "After you go to the Xuehuan Continent this time, besides avenging your former comrades and allies, do you have any other plans?"

"Other plans?" Jiang Yao's gaze fell on Jialuo. Since he revealed his King-level Immortal combat power, even the usually arrogant Huanchen had become somewhat respectful to him, and the others were also somewhat reserved. However, Captain Jialuo remained neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed not to be afraid of him King-level Immortal, at all.

"Since you are King-level Immortal, joining our team is probably just a matter of convenience. After you go to the Xuehuan Continent to take revenge, you probably won't be traveling with us anymore, right?" Jialuo said confidently.

In the Outer-Region Battlefield, many of the King-level Immortal are lone wolves, and even those who are not lone wolves generally do not team up with a group of Marquis Immortal.

"I have my own goals," Jiang Yao nodded. He planned to meet up with his teacher, Illusionary Marquis Huanqiong King Kasolo, as soon as he arrived on the Xuehuan Continent.

In the email that Kasolo had sent him before, he specifically mentioned that if he had the combat power of King Level, he should come and join him. It must be that his teacher had some other encounter on the Xuehuan Continent that he wanted to share with him, or that he needed to join forces with him.

Jiang Yao was always grateful to his teacher, Kasolo, who had sheltered him and passed on the <Zhenhuang> technique to him. He would never refuse to help Kasolo if he needed anything.

Jialuo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I promised Windshadow and the others that I would avenge your former comrades. I will certainly not break my promise, but after the revenge is successful, I sincerely invite you to continue to travel with us."

Jiang Yao frowned and asked, "What is your goal in going to the Xuehuan Continent?"

"The Divine General Inheritance." Jialuo's expression was calm, seemingly unaware of how shocking his words were.

"The Divine General Inheritance?" Jiang Yao was startled, but then he saw that no one else showed any surprise, clearly they all already knew about Jialuo's goal.

It seems that after this battle, I have gained Jialuo's trust.

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something, and he asked, "Is it the Fane Divine General Inheritance? Fane Divine General Inheritance about to begin?"

Before Jiang Yao came, he had read about the information on the Third Battlefield outside the domain, especially about the Xuehuan Continent.

The Xuehuan Continent is rich in treasures, among which the three most famous are the Inheritance Palace Divine General.

Calculating the time, it seems that only the Fane Divine General Inheritance been open for almost an era since its last opening.

The Fane Divine General has 32 Inheritance Palace in the Primal Universe, one of which is located on the Xuehuan Continent.

Moreover, because it has an Inheritance Palace on the Xuehuan Continent, which is not controlled by any force or race, there are no fixed quotas.

The Four Peak Races reached a consensus that the slots for entering the three different Divine General Inheritance Palace on the Xuehuan Continent would be left to the strong to compete for in the Outer-Region Battlefield.

"That's right, it's the Inheritance Palace of the Fane Divine General!" Jialuo nodded.

Jiang Yao frowned and gave Jialuo a deep look. Jialuo's goal was the Fane Divine General Inheritance, which was not a big secret. So the other members of the team knew it too. There were countless powerful people who came for the Fane Divine General Inheritance, and they didn't need Jialuo.

This is also a major reason why the Xuehuan Continent attracts powerful individuals. After all, the vast majority of the Divine General Inheritance Palace are under the control of various races and forces, and the entry quotas are also regarded as precious resources and are controlled. Obtaining a quota requires paying a very high price, even more precious than the inheritance quota of the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal.

The slots for entering the Divine General Inheritance Palace on the Xuehuan Continent are not monopolized by any race; everyone has a chance to obtain one.

However, those who usually covet the Divine General Inheritance are mostly powerful figures who have been granted the title of King-level. Jialuo, who Peak Marquis, is still somewhat lacking in the ability to compete for the Divine General Inheritance.

Unless he's hiding his true strength or has other trump cards up his sleeve.

Jiang Yao tends to prefer both.

Jialuo's expression was confident. "I dare to compete for the Divine General Inheritance divine general because I am confident. With your help, my confidence will be even greater. I can pay you a reward of no less than 10 billion Hunyuan Unit. Moreover, the island where the palace of the Fane Divine General is located also has many treasures. With your Law Comprehension, you may also gain a lot."

"What if I also want to compete for the inheritance of God General Van E? Then the two of us are competitors." Jiang Yao asked doubtfully.

Jialuo smiled confidently, " On Fane Island, it's not about who has the stronger divine power. If you're also here for the Divine General Inheritance, then let's see who has the better skills."

Jiang Yao remained silent. According to his understanding, every era, an island called Fane Island would appear in the Xuehuan Continent Xuehuan Sea. Those who wanted to compete for the immortality of the Fane Divine General Inheritance could choose to enter the island, where the Inheritance Palace was located.

"I have no interest in the Fane Divine General Inheritance. After we reach the Xuehuan Continent and avenge my old comrades, I will leave the team and act alone." Jiang Yao shook his head and rejected Jialuo's suggestion.

He had no interest in the Divine General Inheritance, and even the Beast God Inheritance might not have piqued his interest.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Jialuo's eyes, but he didn't take Jiang Yao's statement that he "had no interest in the Divine General Inheritance" seriously.

The Divine General Inheritance is something that even Peak King kings dream of. Within a clan, the slots for Divine General Inheritance are often secured by Universe Venerable for their own disciples; they cannot be obtained through wealth alone.

However, such precious inheritances also carry greater risks. The Palace of Divine General' Inheritance Palace, controlled by various ethnic groups and forces, is not subject to competition. One only needs to compete for a spot to enter, and how much inheritance one can receive depends on talent and luck.

However, the slots for Divine General Inheritance on this Xuehuan Continent are earned through everyone's own abilities, inevitably involving bloody battles.

Jiang Yao has only recently been granted the King-level, so it's understandable that he doesn't want to get unnecessarily involved in such a dangerous struggle.

However, Jialuo also had his own trump card. He never placed his hopes on hiring a King-level expert, so he didn't press the matter further after Jiang Yao refused.

"We're about to enter the 'Death Corridor,' everyone be alert," Jialuo said solemnly as she turned around.

The petite Chimei Clan girl, 'Huanling,' chuckled, "With you, Captain, and Xisai here, the 'Death Corridor' poses no danger to us at all."

"Exactly! With our strength, anyone who's short-sighted will end up like the second 'Qidu'!"

With Jiang Yao's demonstrated strength, and everyone having a vague idea that Captain Jialuo likely had some hidden cards up his sleeve, they were all full of confidence.

Jiang Yao smiled, but inwardly he was somewhat curious.

Based on his understanding of the Xuehuan Continent, to enter the Xuehuan Continent, one must first pass through the 'Starfall Sea', and after passing through the 'Starfall Sea', one will enter the 'Death Corridor'.

The 'Death Corridor' is a peculiar spatial passage, and the only passage into the Xuehuan Continent. There are other passages to leave the Xuehuan Continent.

The 'Death Corridor' is filled with powerful particle storms and endless Space Fragment of varying sizes. Even Immortal God are in great danger within it. Once swept by Space Fragment Storm or a particle storm, Immortal Divine Body will be annihilated in an instant.

Particle storms and Space Fragment Storm are both unpredictable and appear out of nowhere, making them very difficult to predict in advance.

Only those who have achieved Undying Body and become Marquis Immortal are relatively safe.

But the threat of the 'Death Corridor' is not only the powerful particle storms and Space Fragment Storm, but also the enemies hiding in the Space Fragment.

The God Kingdom is built on Space Fragment, so many powerful beings skilled in spatial laws can hide in these Space Fragment and ambush and rob Immortal God who pass through. Therefore, the 'Death Corridor' is also a bloody battlefield for the powerful beings of the four factions.

However, generally speaking, the immortals who fight in the 'Death Corridor' are at most Marquis Level. The King-level powerhouses are all aiming at the Xuehuan Continent itself, which is full of treasures, and rarely do the work of robbing people on the road in the 'Death Corridor'.

Jiang Yao's revealed King Level combat power undoubtedly served as a psychological support for the other team members besides Jialuo.

"After all, it's an F9-Grade spaceship. The captain and I are both skilled in spatial laws, so we'll pilot the ship and try our best to prevent it from being destroyed by the particle storm Space Fragment Storm," Huanchen said confidently.

During the battle, Jiang Yao displayed the Law of Time. Almost no one thought that Jiang Yao was also proficient in the laws of space. It is already impressive to cultivate a high-level law to the King-level. If Jiang Yao was also proficient in the laws of space, it would be too heaven-defying.
