Unfortunately, the Yan God Clan had an instinct for endless battle running deep in their genes. They would rather die fighting than retreat a single step.
"Burning Shadow Shifting Void!" Qin Cang unleashed his strongest attack.
Countless spear shadows sliced through space layer by layer, while also cutting apart the endless river of blood. At the same time, refracted space transformed into more spear shadows, stabbing toward the blood river.
One spear thrust after another, the river of blood was constantly annihilated. Blood Blade King's expression grew more and more solemn.
"Hahaha, little junior brother, your secret technique is fascinating. What a clever combination of the Way of Space and the Way of Fire. Once you break through to the Immortal Realm, I expect the Human Race will have another exceptionally powerful King-level Expert."
With that, Blood Blade King took the initiative to end the sparring match. Space shifted once more, and the two arrived beside a lake, where they set out some fine wine.
"After sparring with you today, I can see just how much your strength has improved, junior brother. It seems you'll soon be able to stand alongside me."
Blood Blade King was truly shocked. His junior brother had actually embarked on the path of Fusion Law. Although he had only just begun, there was no doubt that this secret technique was based on the pure fusion of the Fire-Space Laws. With his more complete Space Law Comprehension, Blood Blade King might have won if they had continued to fight, but there would have been no point. Before long, his junior brother would catch up to him, or even surpass him.
You could tell from Demon Wing Venerable's attitude toward his disciples. Blood Blade King had been in Chaos City for so long, yet he had never heard of a World Lord Level cultivator being summoned by the Chaos City Lord. But his junior brother had managed it. Blood Blade King knew all too well that even someone as talented as himself wasn't qualified to meet the Chaos City Lord.
And Qin Cang had received a personal audience with the Chaos City Lord. Didn't that mean he had the potential to become a Universe Venerable? Perhaps he was even destined to become one?
Blood Blade King knew better than anyone how difficult it was to comprehend the complete Laws of Space. He had been in Chaos City for so long that he seemed to have forgotten just how long. He was there only for the faint possibility of breaking through to become a Universe Venerable. Perhaps he would break through the very next moment; perhaps he would never make any progress at all. After billions of years, his strength had not improved in the slightest. That feeling...
Blood Blade King gazed warmly at Qin Cang across from him.
Qin Cang noticed his senior brother's gaze. "Senior brother, please!"
Then he raised his cup and drained it in one go.
"This spirited air of yours... You remind me so much of myself when I was young," Blood Blade King murmured.
As the two drank, Qin Cang received an email. He read it, smiled faintly, shook his head, and sent a reply.
The Nine Yan Universe Kingdom was one of the 908 High-level Universe Countries of the Human Race. It was also the Universe Country where Qin Cang was born.
The Nine Yan Universe Kingdom governed over 1,400 mid-level Universe Countries and nearly 20,000 star regions.
The Yanxing Universe Kingdom, where Qin Cang was born, was one of those mid-level Universe Countries.
The Yanxing Universe Kingdom had been established by Marquis Yanxing, a Marquis Immortal of the Yan God Clan. Its royal family was the Yan God Clan.
This was very common throughout the universe. Some powerful families or races had Immortal Military Lords or ordinary Marquis Immortals who ventured into the Outer-Region Battlefield, while others chose to establish a mid-level Universe Country and rule as local kings.
These rulers stayed in contact with their families or races, though rarely. In name, they still fell under their family's authority and had to follow its instructions on important matters.
Although the Yan God Clan had yet to produce a Venerable, several King-level Experts had already emerged, along with countless Marquis Immortals and Ordinary Immortals. They had long since spread throughout the universe. As far as Qin Cang knew, there were several others like Marquis Yanxing, and that was only within the Yan God Clan. How many more would there be among all the Human Race's branches?
The Yanxing Universe Kingdom governed over 7,000 star systems. It had Marquis Yanxing, a Marquis Immortal, as well as two Immortal Military Lords. That made it an exceptionally powerful mid-level Universe Country.
What Marquis Yanxing hadn't expected, however, was that a terrifying genius would emerge from the royal family. After beginning his cultivation, Qin Cang comprehended the Fire Domain in only three years at the Planetary Level. Less than thirty years later, he had reached the ninth level of the domain.
From then on, the Yanxing Universe Kingdom had only one task: cultivating Qin Cang. Even his parents benefited as a result, and the ruler himself had to greet them with care.
Qin Cang lived up to the Universe Country's expectations, smoothly taking first place in the Genius Battle. Afterward, the entire royal family benefited from his success. The resources he brought back enabled the two Immortals to advance to Marquis Immortals.
As for Qin Cang's parents, Qin Lie and Qin Xiao, they both earned the opportunity to cultivate in the Initial Universe. After returning from the Initial Universe, they both advanced to the Immortal Realm!
From then on, the Yanxing Universe Kingdom's strength left the other mid-level Universe Countries in the area far behind.
Of course, great strength could easily lead to arrogance. When Qin Cang was at the Domain Lord Level, his highest-scoring mission had been to pass judgment on the royal family's scoundrels. More than ten thousand people had either died or been imprisoned in that purge!
It was then that everyone realized Qin Cang didn't care in the slightest whether anyone lived or died, except for his parents and Marquis Yanxing.
Even Marquis Yanxing had been shocked by Qin Cang's methods. The expansion plan he had drawn up was shelved as a result.
The plan had only been put on hold, not abandoned. Just a few days ago, Marquis Yanxing had finally made up his mind to attack a neighboring mid-level Universe Country.
But first, he still needed to ask Qin Cang what he thought.
Qin Cang knew that this battle was bound to happen sooner or later. The reason was simple: Marquis Yanxing's wife had been killed by the ruler of the Profound Stone Universe Kingdom.
In other words, one of his ancestors had been killed. Now that he had the power to take revenge, should he?
Qin Cang knew that Marquis Yanxing would kill the ruler of the Profound Stone Universe Kingdom sooner or later.
But according to his own plan, once he broke through to the Immortal Realm, the ruler of the Profound Stone Universe Kingdom would be nothing more than a soul beneath his spear.
Unfortunately, Marquis Yanxing seemed determined to kill the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom himself. Ever since Qin Cang finished his Domain Lord Level deployment mission, Marquis Yanxing had asked him every so often whether he could go kill the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom.
The Yanxing Universe Kingdom now had two more Marquis Immortals and two more Immortals, so there was no need to worry about a lack of strength going forward.
Unfortunately, Qin Cang had never agreed. Until just now, when there was no way to delay any longer, he finally gave his consent. After all, Marquis Yanxing had even obtained the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom's location coordinates. All they had to do was go there and kill him.
Ever since Qin Cang had been sent to the Nine Yan Universe Kingdom as an Inspector, the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom had cunningly hidden in his God Kingdom. There had been no way to kill him, even if they wanted to. But according to the message he'd just received, Marquis Yanxing had discovered that the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom was in a secret realm somewhere. This was the perfect opportunity to kill him.
The Yanxing Universe Kingdom.
Inside a palace, three terrifying figures stood waiting anxiously.
"Old Ancestor, what did he say?" asked a figure dressed in golden armor. It was Marquis Yanming.
"Hahaha, Cang'er agreed, but he told us all to be careful," Marquis Yanxing replied, also dressed in golden armor.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go kill Marquis Xuanshi and avenge you!" urged the hot-tempered Marquis Yanguang.
"Exactly. We can't let this chance slip by. We went to all this trouble to lure that old bastard out—we can't let him get away."
Marquis Yanxing then activated Divine Kingdom Teleportation, and the three figures vanished.
