The expressions of the three Monster Clan Immortal Gods shifted drastically. Wu Yun held a black-gold long staff in his hand, and the gale generated by his swings was so terrifying that it shredded the cosmic space into a stream of particles.

As the long staff danced, an endless storm took shape, encompassing hundreds of thousands of kilometers and directly dragging the three Monster Clan Marquis-Level Immortals into the fray.

The black wind howled, even eclipsing the purple light; this was clearly the power of a peak Marquis-Level.

"Another peak Marquis-Level?" The Monster Clan Immortals were shocked. Fortunately, the Tuka Clan Immortals had not made a move yet and were silently observing the battle from the sidelines.

Dealing with a single peak Marquis-Level was manageable enough.

Rumble!

The Immortal battle began. Wu Yun's movement technique was extremely fast, and he tried his best to close in on the low-level Marquis Monster, but his opponents coordinated well, acting as a single entity.

These three Monster Clan Marquises were from the same tribe and shared some blood ties with the Sky Wolf Clan among the eighteen Imperial Clans; they all possessed the appearance of werewolves.

Through their mutual coordination, they managed to hold Wu Yun at bay.

With wind, light, and the energy of metal permeating the area, the three werewolves combined were no weaklings in the Purple Star Domain. Marquis Yuqu had fought them several times, and neither side had been able to claim victory.

Whoosh!

A crescent-shaped attack sliced through the void. Wu Yun dodged to the side, then his speed erupted, climbing to 220,000 kilometers per second without any acceleration phase.

He had originally only used power approaching a King-Level, which was the standard level for a World Lord at the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge.

At the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge, combined with various trump cards, a World Lord generally possesses strength approaching a King-Level.

The only limitation was the inability to burn an Immortal Divine Body, which meant a lack of burst power.

However, Wu Yun possessed three systems, and both his Golden Core and Divine Heart provided assistance, allowing him to elevate his base power.

Once his base power was elevated, Wu Yun could easily reach the level of a low-level King-Level.

"Die." Wu Yun thrust his long staff forward abruptly. The black-gold tip radiated a bone-chilling cold, shattering the cosmic space along its path and vaporizing all matter.

The long staff slammed into the divine body of the low-level Marquis werewolf, and then a terrifying force began to permeate.

Puff!

A single strike smashed the low-level Marquis into smithereens.

"Low-level King-Level, he is a King-Level!" As his undying body re-formed, the werewolf's face was filled with terror. How many King-Levels were there in the entire Purple Star Domain?

These two words possessed a magical power, carrying immense intimidation.

"A King-Level, he is actually a King-Level." Marquis Yuqu said in shock, "Fortunately, he is only a low-level King-Level. He shouldn't be willing to burn his divine body, and the two high-level Marquises won't be so easy to kill."

To annihilate a high-level Marquis, even a low-level King-Level would need to spend thousands of years recovering, let alone the fact that there were two of them present, plus one low-level Marquis.

Annihilating one would require thousands of years of recovery; annihilating two in succession could very well take tens or even hundreds of thousands of years.

"Marquis Yuqu, let's just kill the Monster Clan legions and leave," another Marquis from the Tuka Clan transmitted his voice. "A low-level King-Level is absolutely invincible in the Purple Star Domain."

"My thoughts exactly." Marquis Yuqu grinned. The reason he had been observing the battle earlier was to see if he could find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but he abandoned that thought upon realizing Wu Yun was a low-level King-Level.

If they were to ambush the Monster Clan, who knew if Wu Yun would turn his attention to them afterward?

There is no trust to speak of between different races.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The entire battlefield was filled with blood mist. A large number of Universe-Level, Domain-Lord, and World-Lord fighters were blasted into nothingness. The casual energy attacks of a peak Marquis-Level were impossible for those legions to withstand.

Even large-scale legions were the same; facing a peak Marquis-Level, they could withstand at most two strikes.

"No!"

"Damn humans, damn Zerg!"

Wails echoed incessantly. Even the World-Lord generals could not resist. In just half a minute, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were slaughtered, and all sorts of supplies were plundered.

After they wiped out all the Monster Clan legions, they did not linger. Marquis Yuqu glanced coldly at the combat zone before gathering the remaining soldiers and fleeing.

With a low-level King-Level on the field, even if they joined forces with the Monster Clan, it would be futile. This was the difference between heaven and earth compared to a Marquis-Level.

In the entire Purple Star Domain, one could not find two powerhouses capable of being certain they could annihilate a low-level King-Level.

"Humans!" The leading Monster Clan werewolf's eyes were bloodshot, his fur standing on end, and his blood boiling. But he understood that facing a King-Level Immortal, burning his divine body would only lead to a faster death.

If he were a true Sky Wolf of the Monster Clan, his Marquis-Level insights would basically allow him to exert peak Marquis-Level combat power. He merely possessed some blood ties, making him a hybrid.

Watching his legions being slaughtered crazily, he had no way to stop it, no matter how painful it was. Such things happened every day in the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Although large-scale slaughter of the weak could incite public outrage, for many King-Levels, wiping out a few legions to vent their anger was nothing of consequence.

"Don't be in such a hurry; you will go to join them soon," Wu Yun said coldly. To him, an undying body was merely something that would take a little more effort.

In front of the Micro-particle Divine Heart, an undying body had no right to call itself undying.

Possessing the Micro-particle Divine Heart, as long as Wu Yun could shatter a Marquis-Level, he had ways to inflict permanent damage. This was the benefit brought by such profound methods.

"I have already called for reinforcements, hold on!" the leading werewolf, Marquis Qixue, hissed hoarsely. "Human, I have called for reinforcements. Once our clan's King-Level arrives, it will be your death day."

"Still talking tough when death is at your doorstep."

Wu Yun sneered with disdain, and the area within hundreds of kilometers around him entered his Micro-particle Domain.

This was a secret technique he had only managed to develop after obtaining the memories of the Snow Eagle Lord world; the difficulty of creating one's own secret technique was extremely high, and many Transcendents with a Second-Grade True Meaning did not possess one.

Wu Yun was also relying on the fact that he practiced three different cultivation systems, which allowed him to approach problems in a very different way.

He could take the strengths of each system to compensate for the weaknesses of others, such as the natural ability of a Heavenly Immortal to control the world, or the world-based methods of a World Lord.

By combining them with one another, comprehending secret techniques became a much faster process.

With his Micro-particle Domain activated, Wu Yun struck once more, his speed so fast that the three werewolves had no time to react before he shattered the Marquis-Level Immortal of the initial stage.

"Perish!" Wu Yun's attack was truly aimed at the most primitive structure of the Immortal divine body, seeking to destroy it at the particle and micro-particle level.

That werewolf, who was merely at the initial stage of the Marquis-Level, managed to reform his divine body with great difficulty, but his aura had weakened to the extreme, infinitely close to death.

"No!"

Wu Yun ignored the attacks from Marquis Qixue and his companion; he possessed the Demon-Breaking Armor, which provided formidable defensive power capable of weakening physical attacks to one percent of their original force.

The next moment, that long staff, coordinated with the Micro-particle Domain, annihilated the initial-stage Marquis-Level werewolf once again, only this time, it was annihilation in the truest sense.

He could not even leave behind a single final word.

"He didn't even burn his Immortal divine body?!" Marquis Qixue was dumbfounded. "To beat an initial-stage Marquis-Level to the brink of death in one strike—could he be a high-level King-Level Immortal?"

"No, that's not right; the attacks of a high-level King-Level should be even stronger." Marquis Qixue felt his understanding of reality being overturned, as the power of Wu Yun's attacks should only be at the level of an initial-stage King-Level.

Yet, how could an initial-stage King-Level kill an initial-stage Marquis-Level in two moves without burning his divine body?
