Though the Blood Demon Warrior's body was being consumed by the spreading vine poison, there wasn't a trace of fear in his eyes. Instead, they gleamed with boundless madness!
He knew he might die at this man's hands, but he was willing to sacrifice his life to hold his opponent back. All he had to do was wait for Zifuka to arrive.
Wu Yun wore a mocking smile. The poison contained in his vines could slow a person's reactions. If a Void-Returning God-Demon were poisoned, he could quickly discard part of his Divine Body to avoid the effects.
But what World Lord would dare to dismember himself to purge the poison?
Once struck, his reactions would slow, especially his thought processes. His mental will would weaken, leaving him unable to control such a Divine Body.
It was like having a Universe-Level being possess the body of a Peak World Lord. Unable to control it with his mental will, the Universe-Level being could unleash a power no greater than that of an ordinary World Lord.
In just half a second, Wu Yun unleashed three consecutive strikes, each one powerful and heavy. He smashed the Blood Demon Warrior's body to pieces, leaving his opponent unable to mount an effective defense.
Each of his fingers was like a long staff, tracing out a dazzling, bewildering scene.
Golden Flowing Light flashed, obscuring the synchronized Virtual Universe feed as well.
After that, Zifuka and the others could no longer see what was happening.
"His power is clearly only at the World Lord Fifth Order. How could he kill a Peak World Lord in just a few moves?" Zifuka's pupils contracted. He hadn't yet accelerated enough to enter the Dark Universe.
After killing his target, Wu Yun casually collected the Blood Demon Warrior's belongings, then accelerated back to near-light speed.
As the Blood Demon King's territory, Dutuo Star Domain was far more prosperous than a place like Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, with countless planets of all kinds.
With just a few blinks, Wu Yun reached a sea of stars. He turned invisible and continued moving slowly. By then, Zifuka knew he had no chance of finding him.
A Peak World Lord's World Projection extended only one hundred thousand kilometers, while the area where Wu Yun had vanished was vast beyond measure.
"Damn it! If I'd known he was only this strong, I would've gone myself," Zifuka said through gritted teeth, his killing intent surging. The Domain Lords and Universe-Levels behind him were so terrified that they all fell to their knees.
That poison was nothing to him. As the core World Lord of Blood Demon Star, Zifuka could even hold his own against an Immortal God for a few moves.
Though Wu Yun had escaped Zifuka's pursuit, he remained on guard. He flew through the universe at low speed while quickly adapting to the Primal Universe's spatial laws.
He didn't need to master them. He only had to gain a basic understanding to use the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for Teleportation across tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of kilometers.
"This Blood Demon Trial is damnable." Wu Yun gritted his teeth and cursed. In the Desolate Era World, he had been a Heavenly Immortal Patriarch, a figure of immense status.
Just because he'd been caught up in this Blood Demon Trial, he'd ended up in such a sorry state. Wu Yun was growing angry at the way these people did things.
After flying for half a day, Wu Yun finally adapted to some of the Primal Universe's laws. He adjusted certain applications of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, making it possible to travel short distances through space.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Each time, he covered tens of millions of kilometers.
With his Heavenly Immortal-level will, he could travel through space at an extremely high frequency. After crossing hundreds of billions of kilometers, Wu Yun finally found a living planet.
The universe was vast, but living planets were few and far between. Wu Yun had even been prepared to travel for hundreds or thousands of years.
In the Swallowed Star World, without a spaceship or a means of crossing the Dark Universe with one's body, traveling by near-light-speed flight alone was exceedingly difficult.
"Luckily, the Blood Demon Trial's region isn't too desolate." Wu Yun looked at the planet before him. After sweeping it with his spiritual sense to investigate, he quietly descended.
The planet had a diameter of 17,532 kilometers and a population of nearly ten billion. Its strongest resident was only at the Universe-Level, but it had fairly well-developed facilities.
There was a basic spaceship port, as well as a towering, blood-red building that symbolized Blood Demon Star's supremacy over the entire star domain.
He had to find a way to get a spaceship, leave Dutuo Star Domain, and perhaps even leave the Gulun Universe Kingdom. Then he could find a safe place to develop in peace.
Staying here was too risky.
Even after landing, Wu Yun remained invisible. Killing a Blood Demon Warrior was no small matter. With the domineering nature of a King-Level Immortal, they would surely take the matter seriously.
As it turned out, he was right. After Zifuka reported the news, two Marquis-Level Immortals immediately came to investigate. Using the information they had, they sealed off the entire area within several light-years!
"Hm?" Wu Yun had just found a target in the spaceship port and was preparing to use an illusion technique to control a local and leave on his spaceship.
But at that moment, a spaceship suddenly arrived from outside the planet. Six Domain Lords emerged. The blood-robed Domain Lord at their head announced coldly, "Blood Demon Star business. From this moment on, no one is allowed to leave."
They planned to seal off the entire planet and forbid anyone from leaving, while still allowing people to enter.
The Marquis-Level Immortals were incredibly shrewd. From the information they'd obtained from Zifuka, they could tell that Wu Yun definitely didn't have a spaceship.
No matter how he fled, he couldn't escape an area several light-years across.
Next, all they had to do was seal off every living planet and prevent spaceships from leaving. Once the great Blood Demon King arrived, they could easily find Wu Yun.
Wu Yun was quick-witted, too. One glance was enough for him to understand the Blood Demon Star's entire plan. He had still underestimated the organization's domineering ways.
The Peak King-Level Immortal Blood Demon King would probably only yield to the Virtual Universe Company or a Universe Venerable.
"If I were an ordinary Immortal God or a World Lord, I probably wouldn't be able to escape." Wu Yun remained calm. A Heavenly Immortal had more than just these methods.
The longer a Heavenly Immortal lived, the more fields he could study. Wu Yun was still young, but his cultivation level was high, and he had some knowledge of several obscure disciplines.
Wu Yun swept the area with his spiritual sense and first confirmed that there were no other powerful beings aboard the spaceship.
It was fortunate that only Domain Lords were leading the group. If it had been a Peak World Lord, Wu Yun's plan would have been impossible, and he would have had to find another way.
"As a Peak King-Level Immortal, the Blood Demon King probably has terrifying detection devices. He could likely scan an area several light-years across in just a few hours."
Keeping his speed low, Wu Yun headed toward the Blood Demon Star spaceship.
As he drew near, faint blue light flickered in his eyes. An invisible force spread outward, and the Domain Lords' eyes grew unfocused.
Even though the power of his Golden Core was restricted and he couldn't use the power of the Dao,
Wu Yun's soul and True Spirit still far surpassed those of the Domain Lords. He easily left every one of them in a daze.
That is, unless their mental will could rival Hong's.
"Now this should be easy." Wu Yun let out a long breath. Still invisible, he silently searched the blood-robed Domain Lord at the head of the group's soul.
