First Battle in the Primal Universe

Even for an Immortal God, reaching sub-light speed with a physical body requires a process of continuous acceleration, yet Wu Yun achieved it instantly, flickering over a million kilometers in mere seconds.

This was already far beyond the attack range of a World Lord.

Whoosh!

The Blood Demon Warrior could only pilot his Spaceship to pursue him, and he activated the Virtual Universe synchronization to report the situation to Zifuka: "Lord Zifuka, his speed is somewhat strange; I did not see any acceleration process."

Zifuka, however, was dismissive: "No acceleration process? Are you saying he can burst into sub-light speed directly? How could such a powerhouse possibly be pretending to be at the Planetary Level?"

As an elite World Lord under the command of the Blood Demon King, how could Zifuka not know the flight speeds of Immortal Gods?

Even a King-Level Immortal would require a process of acceleration.

"I've already displayed this kind of burst speed, so why do they still have the guts to chase me?" Wu Yun was even more surprised.

He had not expected the Blood Demon Warrior to be willing to pay any price to carry out his master's orders; let alone chasing a mysterious powerhouse, they would even obey orders to pursue a Universe Venerable.

The Spaceship continued to accelerate, and Wu Yun was already locked onto by the detection instruments.

He could not remain invisible while flying at this speed, as the billions of light trails would expose his tracks; if he stopped to use his Invisibility Technique, it would not be difficult to find him given the vast range of the World Projection.

After flying for over twenty million kilometers, Wu Yun realized he had to find a way to eliminate his pursuers, otherwise, once the news was reported up the chain, the one who eventually arrived might be the Blood Demon King.

With the strength of a peak King-Level Immortal and recognition by the Space Law, his Teleportation distance was measured in light-years.

Coupled with the omnipresent coverage of the Virtual Universe in the Primal Universe, the mere thought was enough to make one shudder.

The Spaceship behind him was not particularly fast, as it was not traveling at light speed in the Dark Universe, but was instead maintaining a distance of about three million kilometers from Wu Yun.

It was locked on firmly, waiting for Zifuka to bring other powerhouses.

"Given the speed of their Spaceship and the time it takes to stop and return to the original universe, as long as I take care of this person in front of me, the subsequent pursuers will never be able to find me."

Wu Yun's speed began to gradually decrease, and he then deployed his Invisibility Technique once more; he had to make the Spaceship slow down as well, otherwise, the opponent could enter the Dark Universe with a slight acceleration.

And he did not yet possess the ability to traverse the Dark Universe with his physical body alone.

"Hmm?" Zifuka watched the screen, a vague sense of unease rising in his heart, and he quickly sent a message: "Be careful, he might make a move on you."

Zifuka had already reported the news, and in a short while, an Immortal God would arrive to investigate.

Therefore, at this moment, he had to stall this mysterious stranger, even if it meant sacrificing this subordinate.

If Wu Yun displayed terrifying strength, Zifuka could simply hand over the Virtual Universe footage, and his superiors would have nothing to say.

The Blood Demon King had a perverse temper; if he found out a mysterious powerhouse had infiltrated the Blood Demon Trial and his subordinate hadn't provided a single piece of useful information, he would surely fly into a rage.

At the thought of the consequences of the Blood Demon King's anger, Zifuka felt a chill run down his spine.

In the cold and desolate cosmic space, the Blood Demon Warrior piloted the Spaceship, continuously approaching the area where Wu Yun had vanished, his speed becoming slower and slower.

He dropped from sub-light speed down to a mere thirty thousand kilometers per second.

"He's close; I must kill him as quickly as possible." Wu Yun estimated the distance between them.

One million kilometers, five hundred thousand, three hundred thousand...

Until he was within one hundred thousand kilometers of the World Projection, Wu Yun's speed erupted, instantly reaching sub-light speed as he arrived before the Spaceship's hatch.

Zifuka, watching the synchronized Virtual Universe feed, was now filled with disbelief: "It really was an instant sub-light speed; how on earth did he do it?"

Boom!

Wu Yun tapped his finger against the void, flickering like billions of staves, and violently blasted open the hatch of the Spaceship before charging straight inside.

"Die!" the Blood Demon Warrior roared. He held a strangely shaped long blade, his ninth-rank World Lord power surging forth, even stronger than the Golden Core within Wu Yun's body!

Boom!

Before the hatch, blade light flashed out. Although the power was terrifying, in Wu Yun's eyes, it was not so fearsome; he had possessed the strength of a Loose Immortal for a million years before his tribulation.

After the tribulation, in terms of realm, Wu Yun was at the peak Heavenly Immortal level, with a profound understanding of the Great Dao. Even if his energy could not compare to a peak World Lord, his realm was overwhelming!

Swish!

In the narrow space before the hatch, Wu Yun twisted and turned dozens of times within a ten-thousandth of a second, dodging the attack in an inconceivable manner.

The Blood Demon Warrior stood frozen in place; before he could even move, Wu Yun was already standing before him, his movements already carrying a hint of the essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Boom!

Wu Yun used his finger as a staff, unleashing billions of strikes in the blink of an eye. The armor worn by the Blood Demon Warrior was meaningless, as it was full of openings in his eyes.

Unless it was of the level of a Heavy Treasure or a Supreme Treasure, it could not be called omnidirectional protection; this mere standard-issue armor could be broken by Wu Yun with a casual flick.

"He didn't die?!" Zifuka had originally thought his subordinate would surely die, because Wu Yun's attack speed was ridiculously fast and his realm was peerlessly profound, such that even if he were there to block, he couldn't stop it.

It was clearly just a light tap of a finger, yet he seemed to see countless staff shadows flickering.

"This power, it should only be at the level of a fifth-rank World Lord?" The Blood Demon Warrior felt it even more clearly; with this level of force, it would be very, very difficult to kill him.

Wu Yun was also helpless; if he truly had the power of a fifth-rank World Lord, it would be fine, as he could use his comprehension of laws to amplify his strength.

As a Heavenly Immortal, he could only mobilize his own power, and the Great Dao he had comprehended did not have an amplification effect in this world, so Wu Yun quickly launched another attack.

Rumble!

The two engaged in a fierce exchange before the hatch, trading over a hundred blows in mere seconds.

Zifuka finally reacted, realizing that given Wu Yun's current strength, they could easily capture their opponent if they swarmed him together, and he began steering the Spaceship toward their location.

"Hmph! You really underestimated me." Wu Yun let out a cold snort, no longer caring about revealing his methods, as countless green-purple vines manifested out of thin air to bind the Blood Demon Warrior tightly.

"Hahaha! These vines are too weak; they can't restrain me in the slightest." The Blood Demon Warrior laughed wildly, "Capturing you will surely be a great achievement."

But only half a second later, the smile on his face froze, for the green-purple vines contained a massive amount of toxins; when Wu Yun simulated his powers, he had comprehended more than just one complete Dao.

In order to better survive his Heavenly Tribulation, he had studied every method that could enhance his strength, and by chance, he had also dabbled in the cultivation of the Poison Dao.

The vines were highly toxic.

The disadvantage of the Poison Dao was obvious—it was difficult to land a hit—but even the virulent poisons used by a Loose Immortal posed a certain threat to a Heavenly Immortal.

Wu Yun was only slightly proficient in the Poison Dao, but the toxins he unleashed were absolutely capable of impairing a peak World Lord, slowing their thoughts and severely eroding their body.

"Now, you can go to your death." Wu Yun said coldly.
