Emperor Yan's Defection (Part One)

At this moment, in a tall palace within the territory of the Beast God Race, more than twenty universe lords of the Demon Race and the Divine Power Avatar of the two strongest beings were gathered.

The Divine Power Avatar of the Mysterious Swallow Lord suddenly opened its eyes and addressed the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shock Demon Ancestor, who were seated in the main seats. "Two Primordial! I was besieged by the Human Race Emperor Yan and the Extended Mountain Lord in the palace on the Primordial Star. The palace has special rules, and I could not hide there to save my life. The palace will not open for another day. I hope that the two Demon Ancestors can put pressure on the Human Race to make the Emperor Yan stop!"

After hearing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor said, "Shock Horn and I are not in the Original Universe right now. How about this? Xueqian, you go and negotiate with the Human Race to make Emperor Yan and the other two stop. If they can stop, we can Human Race three Peak Treasure as compensation!"

"Miejin! Take the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure and the Peak Palace Treasure and wait outside the palace on the Primordial Star! Once the palace opens, immediately rescue Xuan Yan!"

The Blood Trench Lord and the Extinction Lord nodded in agreement. As the only two Fifth-Order Universe Master the Demon Race race, they would take charge of the overall situation when the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Shock Demon Ancestor were absent. As for the Beast God Ancestor and the Starry Sky Ancestor, they generally did not concern themselves with the affairs of the Demon Race!

After the Lord of Blood Trench Lord and the Extinction Lord agreed, the Dream Demon Ancestor addressed the many Demon Race Universe Master, saying, "Currently, the four strongest beings of our Beast God Race are not in the Original Universe, so you should keep a low profile while you are out there. We have discovered some opportunities in the Universe Sea. If we succeed, the strength of our Beast God Race will surely increase greatly. Even if we suffer some losses during this period, we can always recoup our losses with interest later!"

"Understood!" The numerous Demon Race Universe Master nodded in unison.

After receiving Mengtu's order, the Blood Trench Lord swiftly arrived near the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company in the Human Territory via the Divine Kingdom Teleportation!

It had barely arrived when it was discovered by the Chaos City Lord's clone, who was stationed within the Original Secret Realm!

The Chaos City Lord instantly Teleportation before the Blood Trench Lord of Blood Trench Lord, his expression grave. He said, "Xueqian! This is Human Territory; you are not welcome here! Please leave immediately! Otherwise, when many of our Human Race universe lords arrive, you will not be able to leave!"

The Blood Trench Lord sneered and said, "If you could really keep me here, why would you be wasting your breath talking to me like this! Enough with the nonsense!"

"Immediately order your Human Race Emperor Yan and Extended Mountain Lord to stop! Once Mysterious Swallow Lord falls, it will be a full-scale war between your Human Race and my Beast God Race! At that time, your Human Race won't rest until several universe lords are killed!"

The Mysterious Swallow Lord, the Emperor Yan, and the Extended Mountain Lord! The Chaos City Lord was completely bewildered, wondering how the three of them could be connected!

But it doesn't matter, we can just ask the person in question. Since the beginning of the Primordial Star, many of the Human Race's universe lords have also sent a wisp of their consciousness to log into the Virtual Universe Virtual Universe and gathered in a palace within it.

The Chaos City Lord then asked the Emperor Yan and the Extended Mountain Lord, "Emperor Yan! Yan Shan! The Blood Trench Lord just found me and ordered you two to stop fighting. What's going on?"

The Extended Mountain Lord replied with a smile, "On the Primordial Star, the Mysterious Swallow Lord Emperor Yan I entered the same palace. Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure cannot be used inside that palace, so the Emperor Yan and I prepared to join forces to kill the Mysterious Swallow Lord."

It seems the Mysterious Swallow Lord has sought help from the Beast God Race. Even if you hadn't told me, Chaos, I was just about to! After all, if the two of us truly kill the Mysterious Swallow Lord, we'll likely face a frenzied pursuit from the Beast God Race, so we need someone else to provide backup!

After hearing the words of the Extended Mountain Lord, the Chaos City Lord frowned and said, "Directly killing a Universe Lord of the Beast God Race will likely provoke a full-scale attack from the Beast God Race! How about we ask the Beast God Race for some benefits and then let the Mysterious Swallow Lord go?"

Before anyone else could speak, Emperor Yan sneered, "We are inherently hostile to the Beast God Race, so why should we fear their targeting? Chaos, if you're willing to negotiate, then do so. I certainly won't let this opportunity slip by!"

Wild Mirror Lord of the Universe Mercenary Alliance nodded and said, "So what if the Beast God Race targets us? As long as it's not in the special environment of the Primordial Star, it's impossible for Human Race universe lord to perish in the Original Universe! No matter how strong the Beast God Race is, what can they do to us! I support Emperor Yan and Yan Shan to eliminate one of the Beast God Race universe lords first!"

A bald man in black robes standing next to the Chaos City Lord also said, "Senior brother! You're overthinking things! When our teacher was alive, you forged ahead with unstoppable momentum, your strength advancing by leaps and bounds, becoming Fifth-Order Universe Master in a very short time. But after our teacher's accident, you became anxious and indecisive, making almost no progress in recent years. Not only have you fallen behind Mengtu and Shock Horn in breaking through to become the strongest in the universe, but even I, your junior brother, am almost catching up with you. Senior brother, you've lost the purest heart of Warrior!"

The Chaos City Lord smiled wryly, "Since everyone agrees that we should kill the Mysterious Swallow Lord now, then so be it! Perhaps everyone is right, and I'm just overthinking things!"

The Giant Axe Founder had remained silent until now, decisively declared, "Since that's the case! Emperor Yan! Yan Shan! You two must kill the Mysterious Swallow Lord as soon as possible. Bingfeng and Peng Gong, you two each take Peak Domain Treasure and Peak Palace-type Treasure to the Primordial Star and wait for the palace to begin. Once Emperor Yan and Yan Shan emerge, bring them back to the Human Territory! Other universe lords still roaming the Primordial Star without avatars should also return to the Human Race to avoid being targeted by the Beast God Race! Chaos, you must make Xueqian leave the Human Territory quickly, or our Human Race will not be polite to it!"

The Giant Axe Founder is currently the only strongest being in the universe among Human Race, and his words represent the final decision of Human Race.

Therefore, the Ice Peak Master, the Lord Peng Gong, and the Chaos City Lord all agreed. The Ice Peak Master and the Lord Peng Gong immediately got up and headed towards the Primordial Star!

Having received the instructions, the Chaos City Lord addressed the Blood Trench Lord: "Xueqian! Please leave Human Territory! Otherwise, my Human Race will be very unkind to you!"

The Blood Trench Lord panicked upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's firm refusal, and said with a fierce but weak voice, "If your Human Race dares to kill the Mysterious Swallow Lord, my Beast God Race will fight you to the death! If you give up the task of killing Xuan Yan, my Human Race can give you three Peak Treasure as compensation!"

The Chaos City Lord sneered, "I'll tell you to get lost!" With that, he slapped down with his hand. This slap contained time, space, and the Eight Lower Laws, and it was as if an entire world had crashed down upon him!

Upon seeing this, the Blood Trench Lord released a beam of red light from the sharp horn on his head and met the palm strike of the Chaos City Lord!

With a deafening roar, a terrifying energy storm swept outwards, causing any celestial body in the universe to crumble like a bubble.

In the blink of an eye, a light-year radius becomes a vacuum!

The Blood Trench Lord swayed slightly, its eyes filled with apprehension as it looked at the Chaos City Lord. Despite being Fifth-Order Universe Master, it had been at a disadvantage in its previous exchange with the Chaos City Lord!

Although he was at a severe disadvantage, the difference in skill was minimal—let alone killing him, even defeating him would be difficult! But this also meant that the Chaos City Lord's secret techniques were stronger than his, and closer to the strongest beings in the universe! Moreover, negotiations had already broken down, so there was no point in staying in the Human Territory any longer!

Therefore, the Blood Trench Lord coldly said, "Fine! Chaos, don't regret this! Just wait for the revenge of my Beast God Race!"

With that, he vanished into the Starry Sky!

After the Blood Trench Lord disappeared, time in this Starry Sky seemed to flow backward. Countless Cosmic Dust re-condensed into planets, and the lives that had just turned to ashes in the battle between the two Lords of the Universe suddenly appeared out of thin air!

In just a few moments, this star field returned to normal! The humans living on these planets resumed their normal lives, as if nothing had happened.

Immediately afterwards, the Chaos City Lord disappeared into this starry Starry Sky!

However, some observant people noticed that life on these planets disappeared for five minutes.

Some people logging into the Virtual Universe were surprised to find that they had been disconnected for five minutes, after being alerted by their friends.

Humans on a newly developed civilization even included these five missing minutes in a book, placing them alongside the Bermuda Triangle and the Atlantis mystery as one of the world's three greatest unsolved mysteries!

Inside the palace where the Demon Race Universe Master resided, the Blood Trench Lord's Divine Power Clone addressed the Dream Demon Ancestor: "Dream Demon Ancestor! Chaos has rejected our proposal and insists on killing Xuan Yan! What do you suggest we do now?"

The Dream Demon Ancestor said helplessly, "According to Xuan Yan, we have no way to enter the palace to intervene. It's up to you, Xuan Yan. Hang in there! You'll be safe once the palace opens!"

The Mysterious Swallow Lord said with a bitter face, "I will do my best! Two demon ancestors, if I am really unfortunate enough to perish on the Primordial Star, please be sure to avenge me!" As he spoke, the Divine Power Clone's gaze became blank, clearly indicating that he had withdrawn all his will and was concentrating on fighting against the siege of the two universe lords!

Inside the palace on the Primordial Star! The Emperor Yan's Yan God Halberd and the Extended Mountain Lord's Wolf-Tooth Mace strike once more!

Although the Mysterious Swallow Lord was still barely holding on, it was clear that he was at his limit. More than half a day had passed since he entered the palace, and under the siege of the two universe lords, his divine power had been consumed by more than forty percent, and his strength had dropped by one level.

In contrast, the two Human Race universe masters showed no change in their auras or a significant decrease in strength. With this shift in power, it could no longer hold on!

After blocking the two attacks once again, the aura of the Mysterious Swallow Lord dropped slightly. At this moment, it knew it was too late. It would not be able to wait for the palace to open. In order to make its death more worthwhile!

The Mysterious Swallow Lord shouted, "Emperor Yan! Yan Shan! The two Primordial will avenge me!"

Without a second thought, it charged toward the Extended Mountain Lord. In its eyes, the Extended Mountain Lord's armor was far inferior to that of the Emperor Yan. It would be good if it could deplete the enemy's divine power before it died!

With that thought in mind, he withstood the combined attacks of the two and arrived in front of the Extended Mountain Lord! Then, he self-destructed not far in front of him!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the palace! Violent energy reverberated within the palace, causing it to tremble slightly.

At the epicenter of the explosion Extended Mountain Lord pushed the defense of his top-tier armor Supreme Treasure to its limit, constantly resisting wave after wave of attacks. However, the self-destruction of the Lord of the Universe Master Strongest Secret Art, which was much more powerful than the Extended Mountain Lord's full-force attack. Even with the Extended Mountain Lord power, he still consumed a considerable amount of his divine power!

In comparison, Emperor Yan was much more relaxed. Firstly, Emperor Yan was far from the center of the explosion and suffered much less impact than Extended Mountain Lord. Secondly, the Rob Armor he wore was the best among the Peak Armor Supreme Treasure. Although ordinary pinnacle armor and top-tier armor can generally reduce the damage received to one ten-thousandth, the difference lies in their upper limits.

However, as the pinnacle of armor, the Rob Armor not only has a higher limit of endurance, but it can also reduce the damage received to one ten-thousandth! Therefore, Emperor Yan did not suffer any losses in the self-destruction of the Mysterious Swallow Lord!

After the power of the Mysterious Swallow Lord's self-destruction subsided, the Extended Mountain Lord laughed as he collected the several Supreme Treasure left behind by the Mysterious Swallow Lord. He then said to the Emperor Yan, "Emperor Yan, we've struck gold this time! The Mysterious Swallow Lord possessed a top-tier armor Supreme Treasure, a top-tier Psychic Weapon Treasure, and the remaining soul palace and Domain Supreme Treasure were all high-level Supreme Treasure. Their total value is over a thousand Treasure Point. How about we split the Treasure Point evenly after we hand them over to the Human Race Treasury for appraisal?"

The Emperor Yan revealed a strange smile as he said to the Extended Mountain Lord, "My luck is indeed quite good! However, the rule of this palace is that only one person can obtain the Supreme Treasure! So, Extended Mountain Lord, you'll have to bear with it!"

As he spoke, the Flame Emperor Yan swung his Yan God Halberd out suddenly, and a black flame carrying an aura of destruction enveloped the Flame Yan God Halberd as it attacked the Extended Mountain Lord!

"Emperor Yan! Are you insane!?" The Extended Mountain Lord was shocked by Emperor Yan's attack. He couldn't understand why Emperor Yan would actually kill his own kin for a Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon!

Even so, he reacted quickly, immediately grabbing his Wolf-Tooth Mace to defend himself!

Originally, the difference between the Extended Mountain Lord and Emperor Yan was not Supreme Treasure, except that the Lord of Yanshan's treasures were slightly inferior to Mysterious Swallow Lord Emperor Yan's. However, the Extended Mountain Lord had just exhausted a lot of his divine power due to the self-destruction of the Lord of Xuanyan, so he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position!

At this moment, in the palace within the Virtual Universe, the Extended Mountain Lord protested to the Giant Axe Founder, "Great Axe! You must avenge me! I just joined forces with the Emperor Yan to kill the Mysterious Swallow Lord, and now the Emperor Yan is turning against me for the Bloodthirsty Spear! This act by the Emperor Yan is tantamount to betraying Human Race!"

The Giant Axe Founder and many other universe lords were greatly alarmed upon hearing this. The Giant Axe Founder asked the Emperor Yan in a deep voice, "Emperor Yan! What's going on!"

The Emperor Yan in the Virtual Universe did not answer, but said with bloodshot eyes, "Kill!"

The Wild Mirror Lord spoke up, "Yan Shan! You said that palace was filled with an aura of killing intent, right? Emperor Yan was probably influenced by that killing intent. It wasn't his intention! Hold on. Once you're out of the palace and Emperor Yan has regained his senses, I'll make him apologize to you!"

The Extended Mountain Lord retorted to the Wild Mirror Lord, "Impossible! The murderous aura in the palace can at most affect Universe Overlord; it's impossible for the will of a universe overlord to be affected! Huangjian, I know that Emperor Yan is your disciple, so you want to protect him, but he still wants to kill me!"

The Wild Mirror Lord said, "With the Flame Yan God Halberd in hand, how could the Emperor Yan possibly covet that Bloodthirsty Spear! I can't think of any other reason besides being influenced by killing intent!"

The Extended Mountain Lord sneered, "Then you can ask him yourself after he comes out! Anyway, his attack can't kill me before the palace opens!"

After fighting for a while, the Extended Mountain Lord had calculated that although the palace environment was special and the Emperor Yan might be able to use it to kill him, the Mysterious Swallow Lord had been able to withstand the attacks of the two for half a day. Although he had lost some divine power, he only needed to face the Emperor Yan alone. At least before the palace opened, the Emperor Yan would not be able to kill him.

Once the palace is opened, the Lord Peng Gong and the Lord of Ice Seal will be there to meet him. They will not stand by and watch him be killed by the Emperor Yan. So, although the Emperor Yan's attack on him was somewhat unexpected, it was not particularly dangerous for him!
