Hiss!
Venerable Nuoqi took out a crimson long saber, then suddenly brought it down on the gray jar. A pitch-black blade light cleaved the entire world in two.
The firmament was split wide open, revealing a deeper layer of space. The blade light shifted from black to red as it rose and fell, striking the gray jar like a blood-red crescent moon and triggering a violent explosion.
The gray jar nullified nine-tenths of the attack. The remaining tenth seeped through, but King Citian relied on another consumable treasure to evade it. His heart bled at the thought.
Those treasures were all things he had accumulated over countless years. Every one of them could save his life in front of a Universe Venerable.
"That's King Citian of the Machine Race! Who is he fighting? A true Universe Venerable?"
"A native! A native has given rise to a Universe Venerable!"
The many King-level Immortals immediately reported the news to the Military System, hoping the higher-ups would send powerful fighters to stop this. Otherwise, a bloodbath was sure to follow.
"You've gone too far!" King Citian emerged, burning his Immortal Divine Body as he took out more than a dozen energy Origin Crystals. He poured all their limitless energy into the purple-gold metal sphere in his hand.
Members of the Machine Race would each acknowledge a stronger master. For example, a King-Level Immortal would acknowledge a Universe Venerable as his master.
King Citian's master was a Top Universe Overlord. This purple-gold metal sphere had been modified by the master himself, who had fitted a Heavy Treasure with the Machine Race's technology.
With this treasure, King Citian could match an Invincible King in battle for a short time. That was what gave him the confidence to run rampant on the Outer Realm Battlefield.
"Die!" Venerable Nuoqi swung his saber again. Blood-red blade light swept across the sky, as if it would drown the world.
Boom!
A purple laser shot out and collided with the blood-red blade light. Blinding radiance illuminated millions of miles as an utterly terrifying explosion erupted.
Nearly all matter at the blast's very center was reduced to ash in an instant. Space Fragments spanning over a hundred million kilometers evaporated, while the layer of Heart Power protecting Seven Seas King activated and saved his life once more.
The shock wave hurled him an unknown distance away. With all energy and matter cleared out, a vacuum zone formed, and the crowd rejoiced.
It was difficult to enter the Dark Universe inside a Universe Secret Realm because it was hard to create an area large enough to build up sufficient acceleration. Besides matter, energy had to be cleared away too.
Only a clash of that magnitude could sweep such a vast area clear and create a vacuum zone, giving the many King-level Immortals room to accelerate.
The energy storm spread, mixed with scorching particle streams that incinerated all matter within billions of kilometers. The fragments of continents and the wreckage of stars were no match for the impact.
The shock waves continued to expand. Even trillions of kilometers away, the tremors were clearly felt.
When the energy storm dispersed, King Citian's figure appeared. He was in an utterly wretched state, with a significant portion of his Divine Body annihilated, but he had already escaped the battlefield with the help of another Heavy Treasure.
These powerful fighters, who were close to Invincible King level, possessed a great many Heavy Treasures. Even King Zhenyan would find it difficult to kill them. In terms of strength, Venerable Nuoqi was not much stronger than King Zhenyan.
"You can't get away." Wu Yun watched coldly. He was also the closest to the battlefield. Compared with an Invincible King, the greatest advantage of an Elementary Venerable was mastery of a complete higher-level law.
Whoosh!
Venerable Nuoqi moved at incredible speed. Although space was sealed and he couldn't teleport, how could a King-Level Immortal possibly outrun him?
He employed both sealing and Strangulation. No Heavy Treasure could free King Citian from that restraint. The pursuit of a Universe Venerable was terrifying.
King Citian's metallic body made a strange sound. He had already begun to consider self-destruction.
Those close to Invincible King level held high status in their race. Even if they died, they could be revived. But King Citian couldn't bear to part with the several Heavy Treasures on him.
After accumulating them for so long, even if a Universe Master revived him, the Heavy Treasures wouldn't be revived with him.
"Don't push me, native!" King Citian roared. "Even if you kill me, I can be revived. Leave now, and we can both live."
Venerable Nuoqi paid no heed.
The distance between them kept shrinking. Venerable Nuoqi's life gene level was somewhat higher than a human's. Although he hadn't created a secret technique of a higher level, his overall strength was definitely greater than that of an ordinary Elementary Venerable.
By now, the upper ranks of all four camps had received the news. They knew a native Universe Venerable had appeared, but judging by the images, he was only an Elementary Venerable.
"An Elementary Venerable? Let them handle it," said Venerable Tianhua of the Monster Race calmly. "This isn't worth our intervention."
All four camps tacitly agreed. If a mid-level or High Venerable had appeared, they would have headed to the battlefield at once to kill him. But this was only an Elementary Venerable.
They could leave him to those King-Level Immortals to kill.
If it were a High Universe Venerable, even hundreds of thousands of King-level fighters attacking together wouldn't be able to hit him. Given enough time, he could kill them all.
Boom!!!
King Citian ultimately had no choice but to self-destruct. After all, they were inside the Ten Thousand Tribulations Prison, and powerful fighters generally brought only a small squad with them.
Only when a treasure had appeared would a thousand—or even ten thousand—King-level fighters form a team. With that kind of force, they naturally wouldn't fear Venerable Nuoqi.
King Citian, the strongest King-level fighter of the Machine Race on the Third Battlefield, had fallen!
The countless King-level fighters of the Machine Race were outraged, but they were simply too far away to make it there. Otherwise, given King Citian's status, all those powerful fighters would have followed his lead.
The fall of a fighter close to Invincible King level, a disciple of a Top Universe Overlord, caused many times more shock than the appearance of a Heavy Treasure.
The World Ring and treasures lay scattered, but Wu Yun still didn't move. He watched as a large number of King-level fighters surrounded the area from afar. Some had already begun sealing space.
The Military System also sent a message, ordering the King-level fighters to join forces against the enemy.
That earth-shaking explosion had blasted open a vacuum zone. At least several thousand King-Level Immortals had used it to enter the Dark Universe, and in moments, they had reached the battlefield.
As one King-level fighter after another appeared before him, Venerable Nuoqi showed no fear.
"He has been controlled by his bloodlust." Wu Yun told Seven Seas King to retreat to the rear of the Machine Race's camp and stay out of the coming fight. Venerable Nuoqi was no trouble.
Even if he could kill King Citian, he was still no trouble.
The King-level fighters were just as fearless. In their eyes, Venerable Nuoqi was a gold mine. He had possessed several Heavy Treasures when he attacked, and now he had taken King Citian's wealth as well.
Just look at the Star Tower. The appearance of a single Sealing Star had driven over a hundred thousand King-level fighters to fight desperately.
Now there were several Heavy Treasures up for grabs. They were all going mad with greed.
The various camps began forming large teams. Thousands of King-Level Immortals gathered into small alliances, while Wu Yun remained alone.
"Aliens, every last one of you will die!" Venerable Nuoqi flew toward the area with the fewest people. He moved at top speed, intent on killing as many King-level fighters as possible.
"He's coming! Let's join forces and blast him to death!"
The hundreds of King-level fighters who had reached the battlefield first joined forces. Though they belonged to different camps, they were united at this moment. They burned their Immortal Divine Bodies and unleashed their attacks.
Rumble!
The resulting power was even more terrifying than King Citian's attack. It blasted Venerable Nuoqi away.
