Assassination Fails

The Zerg inheritor's voice trembled.

"This Demon Flame King actually has a soul-type treasure on him!"

The Demon Clan expert even shrank back his claws: "Good thing I didn't rush to strike—this Demon Flame King is a monster, carrying a soul-type treasure. What's the point of assassinating him now?"

The open-air plaza instantly erupted: "How can we kill him now? As long as he doesn't leave Redbud Island, no one can kill him!"

"Shh! Shut up! He's looking over here!"

Yan Ning swept his gaze coldly across the surroundings, and the murmurs immediately cut off.

Every foreign race his eyes touched instinctively stepped back a few paces, terrified of being targeted by this monster.

"Hmph."

Yan Ning let out a light snort, turned, and walked toward the Inheritance Land.

Wherever he passed, the crowd parted to form a path, no one daring to block him.

In the distance, several Mechanical Clan Venerables communicated in secret: "Report immediately! Demon Flame King is suspected of possessing a high-level soul-type treasure!"

"The assassination plan must be reassessed!"

Meanwhile, in the Zerg Clan's Virtual Universe, the Dreamy Nether Lord watched the transmitted images, her stunning face showing gravity for the first time: "Notify all sleepers to halt all operations."

"This human is no longer something we can easily deal with."

Above Redbud Island, the five-colored aurora still blazed brilliantly.

But everyone knew that from today onward, the name Demon Flame King would spread throughout the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

Yan Ning stepped into the fountain, the secret patterns of the Fire Void Law swirling around him.

As the light flickered, his figure gradually vanished.

At that moment, experts from all races were urgently deliberating.

Within the Demon Clan's virtual space, Sky Wolf Hall.

"Useless! All useless!"

Sky Wolf Lord's furious roar shook the void.

"Can't even kill a Sealed King—what use are you?!"

Below, the Demon Clan Venerables remained silent in fear.

"Holy Lord."

One Demon Clan Venerable steeled himself to speak.

"That Demon Flame King has a soul-type treasure protecting him. On Redbud Island..."

"Shut up!"

Sky Wolf Lord's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Damn human race, giving him a soul-type treasure. Now unless a Universe Master fights him to the death on Redbud Island, we can't kill him. Or maybe a Universe Overlord launches a direct assault?"

"For a Sealed King? Is he worthy?!"

Within the Zerg Clan's Hive Nest.

The Dreamy Nether Lord lounged lazily on her throne, a wisp of ghostly purple energy twining around her fingertip.

"It seems only a Universe Overlord can step in now."

She chuckled lightly and shook her head.

"That little one isn't stupid—why would he easily leave Redbud Island?"

"Looks like we have to back off."

On the other side.

Just as the tens of millions of inheritors above Redbud Island were in an uproar, each utterly shocked.

A powerful pressure suddenly descended.

A body like a flood dragon loomed over the kilometers above, its massive wings spread wide, a dragon head thrust forward, gazing down. Instantly, the tens of millions of inheritors all descended and bowed in unison: "Island Lord."

The arrival was none other than the Redbud Island Lord, the Guardian Beast God!

The Island Lords and Guardian Beasts of Redbud Island were all Universe Masters without exception!

And now, because someone had attempted to assassinate Yan Ning, he had appeared!

"A Universe Venerable dares to assassinate Blade River King? Hmph, to attempt an assassination on the sacred ground of my Ancestral God Sect—what boldness. A blatant violation of my Ancestral God Sect's decree. Then let him fall forever!"

His voice echoed across the skies of Redbud Island.

"Even if this Wulong Venerable is revived by reversing time and space, my Ancestral God Sect will hunt him down!"

The boundless pressure made the tens of millions of inheritors pale.

Too ruthless.

Even after being revived through time reversal, Wulong Venerable would still face pursuit by the Ancestral God Sect?

These words were publicly announced to the entire universe by the Beast God who protects the sect.

This Wulong Venerable really took a huge loss this time.

Not only did his assassination fail, but he's now being hunted by the Ancestral God Sect.

He probably won't dare leave the Zerg Clan's territory for the rest of his life.

Inheritance Land.

Within the endless black fog.

Yan Ning slowly awakened.

He briefly integrated the inheritance information.

"The process of receiving the inheritance is still like this—unable to maintain consciousness. The will of the universe's origin is truly terrifying."

His figure flickered, and he sat down on a floating boulder outside the black fog.

His eyes slightly closed, a gleam of sharp light flashing within them.

"How will the Zerg Clan, Demon Clan, and Mechanical Clan deal with me? After this assassination attempt, they should also know how difficult it is to kill me on Redbud Island."

In the original story, to kill Luo Feng, the three clans first arranged for Venerables from their own races and alliances to carry out assassinations.

They had just tried that move.

It didn't work.

The second move was to send a large number of powerful beings to destroy his soul and enslave him.

This move wouldn't have much effect on him either.

With the Chaos Bell guarding him, he could completely ignore soul-based attacks.

But the alien races didn't know this.

Referring to Luo Feng in the original story, as long as he appeared, whether on a Primordial Star or elsewhere, he would be relentlessly surrounded and attacked.

Even Universe Masters would personally take action.

This should be what he would face in the next few steps.

He wasn't particularly afraid of this either.

With a body full of treasures backing him, escaping wasn't a problem.

And after this...

It must be that the three clans paid a great price to solicit the lone Universe Strongest, Void True Demon God. In the original story, this guy directly attacked the Ancestral God Sect, braving the might of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake just to kill Luo Feng!

Mm, that is to say, as long as he didn't display combat power exceeding that of a Universe Venerable, reaching the Universe Overlord level.

The three clans probably wouldn't invite Void True Demon God.

Then he would be safe.

As for inviting him now, that wasn't necessary. Yan Ning didn't have that much face yet.

Having a Universe Master personally take action should be the limit.

Yan Ning let out a cold laugh.

"Heh, just wait, then."

With his life-preservation abilities, even if a Universe Master personally struck, he wouldn't die.

Plus, with the system space existing, his treasures wouldn't be lost either.

After thinking through all this, he closed his eyes and continued cultivating, comprehending the Beast God Path.

The fourth level of inheritance was much harder than the third, and he needed more time to comprehend it.

Three days later.

Virtual Universe, Golden Feather Hall!

Yan Ning sat opposite Golden Feather Venerable.

"Master, long time no see."

Yan Ning greeted him with a grin.

Golden Feather Venerable waved his hand with a smile.

"Less cheek. I came today for serious business."

Then, he told Yan Ning some news he had learned about the alien races targeting him.

He even mentioned the movements of Yan Emperor from the Yan God Clan.

But to his surprise, Yan Ning showed no sign of panic, remaining very calm, as if he had expected it.

"Master, don't worry. I have a soul-type treasure protecting me, plus my clones. No one can kill me."

He didn't reveal that he had so many treasures.

After all, there was no reason.

He had only just entered the Ancestral God Secret Realm not long ago; there was no reason for him to have so many treasures.

Even if he wanted to give some to Golden Feather Venerable, he would need to explain it in advance.

Golden Feather Venerable was still a bit worried. "You're indeed very safe on Redbud Island, but you can't stay there forever. You'll have to go out and train eventually!"
