A Carefully Orchestrated Gala (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

After traveling hundreds of millions of miles and breaking through the Space Lockdown, Venerable Nuoqi had no choice but to risk falling into a prison cell by using Teleportation, though he did not lose his way into the interior of a prison.

Moving from the vicinity of Prison No.0037 to the area near Prison No.0021, Venerable Nuoqi found a star and burrowed inside; he needed time to recover, and not just from the injuries to his divine body.

The fresh hatred of his race being wiped out and his kin being slaughtered, combined with old grudges, had driven him to the brink of madness; this endless hatred tormented him, yet it also forged him.

Having comprehended the complete Space Law, he had become a Universe Venerable.

The branch of his race that Venerable Nuoqi had protected had been slaughtered to the last, so he had sought out another branch, given them a vast amount of resources, and kept only two heavy treasures for himself.

He stayed within the star to consolidate his strength; having just advanced to a Universe Venerable, his realm had improved, and his understanding of secret techniques would also be different.

Before breaking through, the secret techniques of many King-Level Immortals were merely average.

The vast majority of low-level Universe Venerables broke through from the peak of King-Level, and in terms of secret techniques and divine bodies, they were often inferior to King-Level limits or invincible King-Level experts.

King Zhenyan had just broken through to Universe Venerable, yet he was able to fight King Feijing to the point where the latter nearly perished.

It's fortunate he didn't pursue; if he had, I would have had to lead the disaster elsewhere.

Wu Yun sensed the position of Venerable Nuoqi, but it was strange that the other party did not leave the Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison; was he truly not afraid that he would report him to the race and have a Universe Venerable sent to annihilate him?

Venerable Nuoqi was filled with hatred; he remained to seek revenge, relying on his extreme familiarity with the terrain of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison, and after several Teleportations, he arrived in a hidden area.

He had completely disregarded his own safety, fulfilled by that endless hatred; having broken through in strength, he naturally wanted to pay blood debts with blood, washing away his pain with slaughter.

As for the fact that he was a Universe Venerable and the hope for his race's rise?

Venerable Nuoqi did not care; he had to kill, he had to slaughter the foreign King-Level experts ruthlessly.

If Wu Yun were to report this now, a great power would immediately arrive to kill this indigenous Venerable.

Venerable Nuoqi did not leave, truly blinded by his hatred.

But Wu Yun, being the only King-Level expert who had seen Venerable Nuoqi, did not intend to notify the Hong Alliance or the Lanzang City Lord; instead, he had Seven Seas King notify the Machine Race camp.

He reported that traces of an indigenous existence had been found near Prison No.0021—the very place where Wu Yun had previously discovered Venerable Nuoqi—without mentioning the strength of Venerable Nuoqi.

That was also the narrowest prison area in the entire Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison.

The confirmed safe area was only ten trillion kilometers in range, while the rest of the place was complex and intricate, with a high probability of falling into dangerous traps.

The first discovery of indigenous traces was in Prison No.0037, and since the news of the subsequent clash between the Bug Race camp and Nuoqi had not leaked, the vast majority of King-Level experts were still searching near Prison No.0037.

The Machine Race camp was still more advanced in communication methods than the Monster Race or Bug Race, though all were far less convenient than the Virtual Universe of the humans.

Seven Seas King spread the news quite easily, and no one questioned what he said.

If the human camp wanted to spread such information, they would be required to produce video footage to prove its authenticity, but the other three races could only rely on verbal accounts.

"Master, several King-Level limits have sent me invitations to join forces," Seven Seas King reported the situation to Wu Yun at all times. "King Citian of the Machine Race is also coming."

King Citian was a renowned big shot on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Approaching the level of an invincible King, he possessed several heavy treasures and was skilled in group tactics, allowing him to face even a Bug Race Immortal Mother Emperor without fear.

"The more the better, the more the better." Wu Yun sensed the position of Venerable Nuoqi, who was still in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison; it seemed the other party truly had no intention of leaving.

One by one, the powerhouses of the Machine Race camp were moving; such a large-scale movement of King-Level experts naturally could not be hidden from other camps, and soon, others noticed something was wrong.

"Why are all the Machine Race camp members going to Prison No.0021? Could it be that they found an indigenous person there?"

"Let's go take a look, anyone coming?"

The powerhouses of various camps were communicating, some dreaming of the heavy treasures they might seize.

Most were simply looking to make a fortune in the chaos.

The hellish degree of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison was no less than that of the Star Tower; it was terrifying for King-Level Immortals, as they could not control the precise landing points of their Teleportations.

Teleportation was essentially based on sensing spatial fluctuations, but the spatial fluctuations within the Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison were unstable, making coordinate offsets highly likely.

Furthermore, the environment here was so complex and had not been fully explored that some seemingly safe areas might hide secret traps; once one teleported inside, they might never be able to get out.

Inside the prison, all space was absolutely locked down.

Unless one was a high and mighty Space Venerable who had mastered the complete Space Law, they would be extremely sensitive to any fluctuations and could precisely control their landing points.

A few days after the news spread, in addition to the Machine Race camp, King-Level experts from the Monster Race, Bug Race, and human race were arriving one after another.

The desolate Universe Secret Realm suddenly became lively; while there were usually thousands of King-Level Immortals here, there were now hundreds of thousands gathered.

Everyone knew that indigenous treasures almost certainly included heavy treasures, and heavy treasures were too attractive to King-Level experts.

A peak King-Level expert who obtained a heavy treasure could immediately rival a King-Level limit.

They could even kill a King-Level limit by relying on the right heavy treasure, and once a King-Level limit obtained one, they could become a leader among their peers.

"Master, I followed your instructions and joined King Citian's subordinates," Seven Seas King replied excitedly. "I brought him to the star where you fought earlier so he would know my words were true."

"I will direct you to lead him to that Universe Venerable," Wu Yun instructed. "Be careful, and if you can escape, that would be best."

Wu Yun knew the current position of Venerable Nuoqi; he was still waiting.

He was waiting for enough King-Level experts to gather before leading King Citian to Venerable Nuoqi; a range of ten trillion kilometers was neither large nor small.

Although the battle of a Universe Venerable could not affect a range of one light-year, the commotion would definitely be shocking, and by then, all the King-Level experts would be drawn over.

As long as there are enough King-level warriors, even a Universe Venerable is nothing but an ant; so what if one is a Space Venerable? If a large group of King-level warriors joins forces to seal space, who could possibly use Teleportation?

Only those at the level of a Universe Overlord or a Universe Master would dare to claim they do not care about a massive number of King-level warriors.

With King-level warriors descending in groups one after another, hundreds of thousands of them gathered within a mere ten trillion kilometers; one can only imagine how crowded it was.

The visual range of King-level warriors, combined with the detection range of their instruments, guaranteed that every small squad could easily detect another, and it was at these moments that chaotic battles would erupt.

One month after the news leaked out.

A chaotic battle broke out between a squad from the Machine Race camp and a squad from the Monster Race camp, marking the first small-scale war thus far.

Seven peak King-level warriors and two limit King-level warriors clashed, resulting in the fall of King Luoming of the Monster Race.

Fortunately, the treasure had not yet appeared, so the scale of the chaotic battles would not be too large; based on past experience, out of the hundreds of thousands of King-level warriors, several thousand or even over ten thousand might fall.
