It took only a few minutes for Wu Yun to reach the edge of the endless chill. He gazed out at the ocean of blue frost. In the Three Realms, the distance was comparable to the width of a Great Xia province, and even a True God's attack could pass through it without losing any of its power.
Whoosh!
A black-and-gold rod, only three centimeters long, shot out. Wu Yun had specially commissioned the weapon, and it was made entirely of G-grade metal.
His black-and-gold staff was a close-combat weapon that cost nearly ten million points. Each of these three-centimeter rods cost over ten thousand points.
Wu Yun had commissioned exactly 1,008 of them.
Heart Power clung to the rods as he launched them using the Qi Refining Path. They moved at a terrifying speed, instantly piercing through King Muchen's Frost Domain.
The Frost Domain had been pierced. King Muchen, its master, was startled. He saw a streak of black light hurtling toward him at near-light speed, the chill retreating in its wake.
The endless frost is so dense it can suppress King-level experts. What kind of attack can force its way through like that?! King Muchen felt a chill run down his spine. He had initially planned to draw the frost into a single point to suppress the black streak.
Domain-type treasures were at their most powerful when concentrated, but King Muchen had only just had the thought before he was forced to abandon it. He still had to suppress the other Peak King-level experts.
He needed the frost to slow the others down. Once the attack got close, he could switch to a defensive stance.
Domain-type treasures could be used to suppress opponents or as a defense. For example, gathering one in front of himself would weaken incoming attacks to some degree.
But this sort of defense was too limited. It couldn't weaken the impact the way armor could.
Wu Yun revealed himself as he attacked. He wore black battle armor, his long black hair falling to his shoulders. With sharp brows and bright eyes, he looked like a typical human.
The King-level experts all turned their attention to him. To maintain near-light speed in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison was incredible.
Floating star fragments and dust were all obstacles to acceleration.
"Which human King-level expert is that?"
"Where did this human King-level expert come from?"
The aliens stared at Wu Yun in confusion. Every King-level expert on the Outer Realm Battlefield should have been known by name, but no one recognized him.
More King-level experts were closing in from ahead to intercept him. King Muchen had to keep changing position; if he got trapped, he'd be in trouble. Even a powerful Heavy Treasure Domain was only as useful as the person wielding it.
Those approaching Invincible King-level strength were all capable of wresting it from King Muchen by force.
The black-and-gold rod soon reached King Muchen.
King Muchen didn't let his guard down just because the attack had traveled so far. If his opponent wanted to kill him, he would surely burn his Divine Body. With Immortal Divine Power coating the rod as it pierced the distance, its remaining power would still be terrifying.
What's more, his Divine Body was not yet fully restored.
The frost stretched for millions of kilometers, but in an instant it shrank to the size of a palm and formed a barrier in front of King Muchen.
The rod struck the swirling frost. There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected. Instead, it passed through the frost as if it weren't there and hit King Muchen's armor.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out. His armor and Divine Body shattered on the spot. King Muchen likely never imagined, even as he died, that Wu Yun's attack could kill him in an instant!
One strike had killed a Peak King, even though he had used a defensive technique.
Only someone close to Invincible King-level strength, like King Citian, could pull off such a feat—or an Immortal Bug Race Legion's combined attack.
Even a Peak King burning his Divine Body couldn't kill a Peak King with one blow. It would take a treasure like poison, but even poison needed time to corrode its target.
Under normal circumstances, if poison had entered his body, King Muchen would have had time to speak his last words.
Besides, the black rod had traveled such a long distance through the endless frost. Even poison refined by a Universe Master Mother Emperor should have been worn away by then.
No one could believe what they had just seen.
There were only so many experts approaching Invincible King-level strength on the entire Outer Realm Battlefield. Each one was a legendary figure, the focus of their faction wherever they went.
Iceberg fell toward the dark depths of space below. The Peak Kings watching had burning eyes. That was a Domain Type Heavy Treasure; even a true Invincible King would be tempted.
Yet dozens of Peak Kings stood there, and not one dared to move.
Wu Yun strode through the air, each step carrying him more than a hundred thousand kilometers. A strand of divine power flew from his hand and gently caught the falling Iceberg. He didn't even glance at the other King-level experts.
He was utterly composed and supremely arrogant, radiating the absolute confidence of an invincible expert.
"His strength is terrifying. Does he have a title?" In the distance, the Bug Race Mother Emperor Linyun looked at the Soul Slaves around her. "Have any of you heard of this King-level expert?"
"Reporting to you, Master, I haven't."
"Neither have I."
The King-level Soul Slaves all shook their heads. Linyun had originally planned to compete for Iceberg. With the terrifying strength of a Bug Race Mother Emperor like her, everyone would have to think twice before crossing her.
The combined attack of a Bug Race Legion was horrifying. A million World Lord Kings could potentially kill a Peak King with one attack, let alone an Immortal Bug Race Legion.
But after seeing Wu Yun's strength, Linyun put the thought aside.
He was fast, seemed to have a way to conceal himself, and could kill a Peak King in an instant. Someone with strength like that deserved to possess a Heavy Treasure.
"Look, he's carrying a black rod on his back, wearing black armor, and even throws little black rods. Why not call him King Black Rod?" a King-level expert from the Machine Race suggested.
"Sounds good. Let's call him King Black Rod."
Wu Yun didn't know he had somehow acquired the title King Black Rod. If he had, he would have come up with a better one himself. After all, that name was a poor fit for a dignified cultivator.
Wu Yun picked up King Muchen's remaining treasures and his World Ring, then coldly surveyed the surrounding alien King-level experts. They were weak, but in large enough numbers, they could still be troublesome.
Wu Yun didn't care about a hundred Peak Kings. But if their number grew to a hundred thousand, even a true Universe Venerable would have reason to fear them.
"Tell King Citian to go to this area." Wu Yun gave Seven Seas King his orders. He was about to release Venerable Nuoqi and set off a true battle royale.
The most terrifying force behind this battle royale would not be the Universe Venerables.
On a battlefield where hundreds of thousands of King-level experts gathered, what did Universe Venerables matter? Especially with Venerable Nuoqi being a native, everyone would make killing him their first priority.
Once he was dead, true chaos would erupt. Everyone would go mad fighting over the Heavy Treasures and the treasures left behind by the natives.
By then, even a combined attack from the Bug Race's Immortal Legion would be small potatoes.
"Yes." Seven Seas King obeyed Wu Yun without question. He knew that his master wanted him to lead King Citian to a Universe Venerable, and that there was a real chance he might die.
"Master, if I die, please treat my younger brother, Long Wu, well," Seven Seas King said at last. His soul was absolutely loyal to Wu Yun, but he still had ordinary feelings.
For example, his love and care for his younger brother would never change.
