Marquis Qixue couldn't figure out, no matter how hard he tried, that Wu Yun had killed his opponents using methods from a different Source World.

Normally, even if a Marquis-Level Immortal were blasted apart, he could gather himself back together again and again. Even an Army Lord Immortal's self-destruction couldn't make them lose a single bit of their power. But after blasting them apart, Wu Yun followed up with an attack at the micro-particle level.

The attack itself only had the power of a Demigod, but after Wu Yun amplified it through this world's system, it became deadly to Marquis-Level Immortals.

An Initial King could kill an Early Marquis by wearing him down through repeated attacks without paying any price at all, let alone Wu Yun, who also had micro-particle attacks.

"You can go join him, too," Wu Yun said coldly. His attack just now had shown him that he could even annihilate a Peak Marquis.

It would just take time. He used his Micro-particle Divine Heart to wear away part of their undying bodies. An Early Marquis was too weak; two strikes were enough. A High-level Marquis, on the other hand, would need to be blasted apart at least a hundred times.

Wu Yun released a Divine Sea stretching a hundred thousand miles, hiding his World Projection within it. Once amplified, it was as imposing as a Law Domain.

The Divine Sea was mixed with the World Projection and techniques from the Heavenly Immortal system. At a glance, it looked no different from a Law of Water Domain, and its suppressive force was even stronger!

"What kind of Law Domain is this?" Marquis Qixue released his own Law Domain and clashed with Wu Yun's, hoping to avoid being slowed down.

Wu Yun couldn't suppress the two of them when their Law Domains joined forces. After all, his actual level was that of a World Lord, so his Divine Sea and his control through the Heavenly Immortal system were both weakened.

Boom!

Since his domain couldn't suppress the two werewolves, Wu Yun relied on his terrifying instant speed to attack. Even King-Level Immortals couldn't match him, even at near-light speed.

In terms of instantaneous acceleration, Wu Yun could rival a Universe Venerable.

Every time he struck, Wu Yun blasted Marquis Qixue apart. Even working together, the two of them couldn't withstand his attacks. The gap in pure strength between an Initial King and a High-level Marquis was enormous.

Each time he was shattered, Marquis Qixue reassembled himself, but his undying body was being worn away at its core.

"How can he damage my core?!" Marquis Qixue couldn't understand. Normally, an attack had to come from a High King to damage him at his core.

Wu Yun's attacks clearly had only the power of an Initial King. He wasn't even burning his undying body, yet his attacks were like a sharp blade thrust straight into the heart.

Ninety-nine percent, ninety-seven percent, ninety-six percent...

The first few attacks might have only worn away one percent at a time, but the more his power dwindled, the greater the loss became. A single strike of Wu Yun's staff could now wear away three percent.

"I can't hold out any longer, Muyuan. I'll self-destruct in a moment. See if you can escape while you have the chance," Marquis Qixue sent telepathically. "At this rate, I'll be dead within a hundred moves."

The werewolf named Muyuan was overwhelmed with emotion. He and Marquis Qixue were too weak. If an Initial King were willing to burn his Divine Body, two or three moves would be enough to wipe them both out.

When they encountered a King-level Immortal, their only hope was that he wouldn't be willing to burn his undying body. Otherwise, death was inevitable.

They were weak and powerless to fight back. Even their curses would be broken down by Wu Yun's Micro-particle Domain, so they could only communicate telepathically.

"Big Brother Qixue..."

This wasn't the time for tearful farewells. Muyuan watched Marquis Qixue turn and fly toward Wu Yun, then burned part of his own undying body and sped away as fast as he could.

The illusions and obstacles in the Universe Secret Realm made it impossible to accelerate to the speed of light and enter the Dark Universe. Space fragments and energy fields blocked the way.

The energy might seem insignificant, but at high speeds, it became the greatest obstacle. So Muyuan only had to accelerate to near-light speed and keep flying for a while. Even a King-level Immortal would have a hard time catching up.

In battles inside a Universe Secret Realm, when neither side could use Teleportation, everything came down to acceleration. If you could escape far enough, you'd be safe.

A King-Level Immortal could affect an area spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, but when that power was spread across such a vast range, its strength was actually quite limited.

To maintain its maximum power along a straight path, Wu Yun could reach at most three hundred thousand kilometers. A High-level Marquis's self-destruction should buy him some time.

"An Initial King definitely hasn't mastered Teleportation. Sigh... I've fought on the Outer Realm Battlefield for tens of thousands of years, and in the end, I'm still going to die. Farewell, my people, my brothers..."

Marquis Qixue knew that once he died, it would be forever. Why would a Universe Master resurrect a mere Marquis-Level Immortal?

He glanced one last time toward the Monster Race Territory, his eyes full of longing. Just as the black-gold staff was about to touch his body, he resolutely chose to self-destruct!

Marquis Qixue still had seventy-three percent of his undying body left. He had accumulated it over countless years as a Marquis. Now he would use it to give his people a chance to live.

Light blazed. His undying body erupted like a supernova, and scorching flames swept across the heavens and earth. Millions of kilometers of land were annihilated, and the space within tens of thousands of miles was burned into streams of particles.

Even the misty energy floating in the air and the fragments of stellar remains vanished without a trace. The power of a Marquis-Level Immortal's self-destruction was truly terrifying.

It was utter destruction, carrying everything within its reach toward its end. Even a powerhouse of the same level would fear that scarlet storm.

"Big Brother Qixue!" Muyuan's face twisted with grief. He felt waves of heat rushing up behind him, and space fragments occasionally streaked past. He knew his kinsman was dead.

He memorized Wu Yun's face and appearance. He would return to his clan and beg a King-Level Immortal to avenge Marquis Qixue.

The odds were slim. A King-Level Immortal wasn't someone one could easily persuade, and killing Wu Yun would likely take a Peak King. But Muyuan would still persevere.

Endless hatred festered in his heart.

Whoosh!

A black-armored figure appeared in front of Muyuan. Wu Yun looked at him with an almost amused smile.

"You... you can use Teleportation?!" Muyuan despaired. "Why did you toy with us? You're clearly a High King, or even a Peak King. Why didn't you just kill us from the start?"

Those who could use Teleportation were almost always Peak Kings. At the very least, they had to be High Kings.

"There's no reason," Wu Yun said calmly. "I'll give you a chance to self-destruct, or I can take some time and wear you down."

Countless micro-particles swirled around him, weaving into a deep black storm. Wu Yun had wanted to use Muyuan and Marquis Qixue to test his moves, but unfortunately, they were far too weak.

His secret techniques and methods were still in their early stages. Wu Yun's attacks were probably close to top-tier secret techniques now. He needed time and countless battles to refine them.

Once perfected, they would qualify as top-tier secret techniques.

Peak Secret Techniques were much harder to master. Immortal Gods who reached that level were generally at the limit of King-level, though quite a few Invincible Kings had also achieved it.

"Human, sooner or later, you'll die at the hands of a King-level Immortal from the Monster Race." Muyuan chose to self-destruct, too. Struggling was meaningless against a King-Level Immortal who could use Teleportation.

Boom!

A fireball even brighter than Marquis Qixue's self-destruction appeared. Wu Yun had already Teleported several million kilometers away and quietly watched the beautiful scene.
