Facing the Xuanshang Royal Clan who rushed forward, their smiles even more ferocious on their faces covered in blue patterns, Jiang Yao sneered and instead of retreating, took a step forward.

The Xuanshang Royal Clan who was about to rush in front of him showed a hint of surprise.

The other dozen or so members of the Xuanshang Royal Clan who had been standing there, ready to watch their companion rush forward and teach Jiang Yao a lesson, also changed their expressions drastically!

Suddenly, a savage, beast-like aura emanated from Jiang Yao.

It was as if they were facing not a human being, but a savage behemoth in human skin!

The leader of this squad, a member of the Xuanshang Royal Clan named Wuka, was about to rush over to help when he saw the space in front of him ripple like water. Then Jiang Yao's figure appeared like a bubble and punched him expressionlessly!

He was in the same predicament as more than a dozen other members of the Xuanshang Royal Clan, and each of them had a Jiang Yao appear before him!

"Ten Thousand Line Flow!?"

Jiang Yao naturally did not use the <Ten Thousand Line Flow> flight technique, but rather the Mirror Image Clone of the Zhenhuang Mirror!

Over the past hundred years, Jiang Yao has not only made further progress in his physical transformation, but he has also stopped rejecting the instincts that arose from this body, which was shaped by Bi Bizhang's will.

He did not use the Combat Secret Technique recorded in the Zhenhuang Sacred Body Technique, but instead completely let his body's instincts run wild!

It was as if he were a human form of Bizhang; his physical movements and the application of the Origin Law in his every gesture seemed to be innate, etched into his genes.

Of course, he didn't forget to use the Lingtong Race's Combat Secret Technique, <Heavenly Cage Domain Seal>, to gather his domain, which had already reached the eighth level, into his body, allowing it to rotate at will and attach itself to every punch, kick, palm, and finger.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the dozen or so Xuanshang Royal Clan fell.

The Xuanshang Royal Clan who rushed to Jiang Yao's side first only saw a Divine Crane's sharp beak pecking at him in a daze, and he seemed unable to escape the position of being attacked, as if he was locked on.

Then his consciousness went into a state of chaos, and everything came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Yao pointed a finger at his head, and a bloody hole pierced through his skull.

After only two rounds of fighting, only Wuka, the leader, remained on the field.

Wuka's armor seemed quite extraordinary, significantly weakening Jiang Yao's attacks.

As the Controller, he couldn't create any distance and could only awkwardly deal with Jiang Yao's rapid attacks, feeling a mixture of shock and absurdity.

The further one goes on the paths of Controller, martial artist, and Illusionist, the greater the difficulty and the more profound the mysteries contained within. Whether it is the use of high-level psychic weapons, the cultivation of physical secret techniques, or the cultivation of Soul Secret Technique, they can occupy most of a genius's energy.

How did a genius Illusionist at the stellar level, who clearly possessed extremely high achievements in Soul Secret Technique, suddenly transform into an unparalleled martial artist?

Wuka crashed heavily to the ground. Just as he was about to take advantage of the distance to control his telekinetic weapon, he suddenly froze, his expression hardening.

A thin beam of light, emitting a silvery gleam, shot out from the top of his head, creating a hole smaller than the eye of a pin. But this hole seemed to completely drain away his life force, and his soul was annihilated along with it!

The nine silver needles returned to Jiang Yao's side, guarding their master like patrolling soldiers.

"The first form of the Xing Divine Weapon Star-Shattering Needle, is truly a deadly weapon!"

As Jiang Yao sighed, he used his telekinesis to summon the Space Ring from over a dozen members of the Xuanshang Royal Clan. Looking at the lifeless Wuka, he lamented, "His combat experience was far too shallow. Didn't you realize I might still be the Controller?"

Given Wuka's strength, which had definitely crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, and Jiang Yao's use of the first form of the Xing Divine Weapon, it was impossible for him to end the battle so decisively in one move. It can only be said that Wuka was indeed unprepared for this possibility.

It seems these prodigies of the Tianxuan Secret Realm have never encountered a genius who combines the skills of Illusionist, a martial artist, and Controller.

Of course, if the first level of the Eye of Zhenhuang wasn't incapable of group attacks, he would have indeed wanted to eliminate all his opponents with a single illusion spell.

Jiang Yao turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Qu Nuo, tossing him a ring. "There are a hundred Thunder Rhino Gold inside. You can take this and enter the Inheritance Tower."

However, I still want to advise you that it's best not to enter the Inheritance Tower. Your strength is not top-tier among stellar-level beings, and even if you manage to enter the Inheritance Tower by chance, you will face greater dangers.

"Didn't you want to acquire treasures to buy resources for cultivating body techniques? One hundred Thunder Rhino Gold are more than enough."

The boy with two horns on his head seemed to awaken from a dream, "M-Master, Qu Nuo grateful for your life-saving grace!"

This turn of events was arguably the most bizarre encounter of his life. This young man named Yao, whose race was unknown, was definitely among the top ten strongest in the Xuanshang Universe Country at the stellar level!

Jiang Yao watched Qu Nuo's retreating figure heading towards the teleportation channel and nodded to himself, deciding that Qu Nuo had listened to advice.

Although he had defeated more than a dozen members of the Xuanshang Royal Clan in one go, including a genius who had already crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, Jiang Yao was not proud of himself, nor was he excited about the battle. The opponents he faced in the God Kingdom this time were at the cosmic level, not the stellar level.

A spatial rift, tens of light-years long and three to four light-years wide at its widest point, was filled with Space Fragment and powerful streams of particles.

In one of the secluded corners, two Immortal God, a man and a woman, were guarding a fixed God Kingdom Fragment. One was Lingcang Marquis, with a full head of silver hair, and the other was a middle-aged woman dressed in purple.

The Purple-Clad Woman sighed, "I never expected Wuka to be dead. Marquis Boyu is probably furious right now. Wuka was the most outstanding stellar-level genius of the Xuanshang Royal Clan. Marquis Boyu even told me last time that Wuka was expected to rank among the top three hundred in the Universe Country in the Genius Tournament."

Lingcang Marquis remained indifferent, seemingly unmoved. They had a clear view of everything happening in the God Kingdom, except for the battles in the Inheritance Tower, which they couldn't observe.

"His arrogance was not commensurate with his strength; death was his inevitable fate."

As a genius Controller had crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, Wuka was forced into a sorry state by his opponent in close combat before he even had a chance to use his Telepathic Weapon. He was killed in just a few moves, a shameful and ignominious death.

Lingcang Marquis felt no sympathy for the death of such a genius.

Furthermore, among the Three Great Secret Realms Xuanshang Royal Clan's geniuses are the weakest, and they cannot represent the Xuanshang Universe Country in the Peak Battle.

Jiang Yao's figure flickered through the forest like a ghost.

"If you don't make a sale, that's fine, but if you do, you get five Kui Dragon Jade. I wonder how far the other universe-level geniuses have progressed, and if anyone has already collected 100 Kui Dragon Jade."

After Jiang Yao killed the Xuanshang Royal Clan squad, he used the same method to lure a small group of thunder rhinoceroses into the lake, which indeed caused the giant crocodile guarding the Kui Dragon Jade to rush to the surface of the lake.

Jiang Yao sneaked into the enemy base at near-maximum speed, digging out three Kui Dragon Jade from the bottom of the lake, barely managing to dodge the giant crocodile's Swallowing Secret Technique at the last moment.

The giant crocodile's furious roars echoed almost throughout half of the God Kingdom.

Jiang Yao then arrived at the purple forest in front of the great lake, where he was inexplicably attacked by a giant bird. Later, after checking the Virtual Universe Network, he learned that the giant bird was Azure Thunder Crow.

The Azure Thunder Crow reaches cosmic level upon adulthood, possessing extremely high speed, as if it had transformed into lightning. It relentlessly pursued Jiang Yao, but Jiang Yao's flight speed was even faster. After a brief struggle, Jiang Yao managed to locate its nest and discover two Kui Dragon Jade pieces.

Then it unleashed its maximum speed of 90,000 kilometers per second, completely shaking off the Azure Thunder Crow.

Jiang Yao couldn't help but be anxious. After all, although collecting 100 Kui Dragon Jade would allow entry into the Black Giant Tower, whoever collected them first would be the first to enter. For Jiang Yao, who wanted to collect all the treasures related to Red-Pattern Crystal inside the tower, it would be best to be the first to enter the Inheritance Tower.

After encountering the giant crocodile and the Azure Thunder Crow, Jiang Yao had roughly figured out the pattern of the Kui Dragon Jade. This treasure must be possessed by some powerful beings, either hidden in their lair or within their bodies.

Hidden within his body, he was helpless against these ferocious beasts, which were at least at the peak of the cosmic level. Of course, the beasts couldn't do anything to him either.

However, the Kui Dragon Jade hidden in his lair could perfectly utilize his speed advantage. Even at its Extreme Point speed, the Azure Thunder Crow could only travel at 20,000 kilometers per second, exceeding the speed of a normal human Domain Lord.

Jiang Yao, who was searching for a powerful ferocious beast, suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end. He turned around and saw a young man in black armor with outstretched wings descend from the sky and land on a branch of a large purple tree.

"The Guluo Secret Realm?!"

Jiang Yao immediately recognized the powerful figure with wings extending from his back as one of the more than two hundred universe-level geniuses he had met in the Guluo Secret Realm on Lingcang Planet.

"You actually possess the aura of the Kui Dragon Jade?" The Winged Youth's tone was filled with joy and disbelief.

He was incredibly lucky. He had just managed to kill a Thunder Giant and obtain the Kui Dragon Jade embedded in its chest, but now he had encountered a Stellar-level being who also possessed the Kui Dragon Jade.

Not only was he lucky, but the stellar-level kid in front of him was incredibly lucky. Especially considering the danger of his previous battle with the Thunder Giant, and looking at this stellar-level kid in front of him, he couldn't help but question his own existence.

Was Kui Dragon Jade truly obtained through skill? Could Kui Dragon Jade really be found lying on the roadside?

Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, no wonder he was entangled by that Azure Thunder Crow before, and that Xuanshang Royal Clan team could clearly sense the aura of Kui Dragon Jade at the bottom of the lake, but they never tried to use the method of luring the tiger away from the mountain to obtain Kui Dragon Jade.

It turns out that even within Space Ring, the Kui Dragon Jade cannot completely isolate its fluctuations and leaked aura, yet the owner remains unaware of it.

Once you obtain the Kui Dragon Jade, you will encounter cosmic-level geniuses and even powerful beings from within the God Kingdom who will hunt you down.

This is a treasure that a normal star-level object could not possibly possess.

"Hand over the Kui Dragon Jade, and I can compensate you. I also have a few Thunder Rhino Gold."

The Winged Youth gave the order as a matter of course. After all, there was no rule prohibiting a cosmic-level being from killing a stellar-level being in this God Kingdom Trial. Any stellar-level genius, even those from the Youyuan Secret Realm or the Tianxuan Secret Realm, would not be so ignorant of the situation.

Jiang Yao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you the Kui Dragon Jade."

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew away.

The Winged Youth was stunned for a moment, then revealed a somewhat absurd expression. A mere stellar-level brat actually tried to run away from him?

Then, with a flap of his wings, he vanished as if by Teleportation, and gave chase.
