The Shadow Race

As soon as Gulanxiu speaking, the Flame Spirit Clan girl Red Spirit made the first move.

A Fire Dragon flew out of her hand and rushed towards Gulanxiu. Even from a distance, Gulanxiu could feel the terrifying power contained within the Fire Dragon.

The surrounding space was slightly distorted by the scorching Fire Dragon.

However, Gulanxiu found this attack to be far too weak. Although the Flame Spirit Clan girl was First Stage Realm Lord, her basic strength was still inferior to Gulanxiu's! After all, the Flame Spirit Clan's Gene were only the most ordinary single-fold Gene, while Gulanxiu's hundred-fold Gene, even at the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, were still ten times stronger than her in terms of basic strength.

As for her performance in Law Comprehension, it was even worse; even Qu Ling, who ranked last in the Axe Secret Realm, was stronger than her.

She doesn't have any special abilities, so it's hard to say whether this Flame Spirit Clan girl's true strength can compare to the Domain Lord of the Divine Beginning Secret Realm.

If all the geniuses of the Flame Spirit Clan are at this level, then their 85-game losing streak is to be expected.

Thinking this, Gulanxiu drew his longsword and slashed at the oncoming Fire Dragon. A jet-black blade of light flew out, and the Fire Dragon, formed from the World Force, was completely annihilated the moment it came into contact with the blade of light.

Gulanxiu's blade, its momentum undiminished, slashed towards the Flame Spirit Clan girl.

A flicker of terror crossed the girl's eyes, for she was horrified to discover that she felt she had no way to avoid this strike, as if the entire world had been sealed off, leaving her unable to move and only able to withstand the blow.

As the blade's edge drew ever closer, she could only muster the World Force to manipulate the magma, rapidly compressing and condensing it on her body into a jet-black suit of armor.

Even so, it was all in vain. The moment the blade struck, her armor shattered as if made of paper. In despair, she could only await her death.

Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix, who was prepared, made its move at that moment. Its sharp claws instantly pierced into the body of the Flame Spirit Clan girl and protected her Core Nucleus.

With a loud "boom," the girl's body was shattered by Gulanxiu's blade light. However, when the blade light touched the Fire Phoenix's claws, it shattered like an egg hitting a stone, while the claws remained completely still.

Seeing that Fire Phoenix had made a move, Gulanxiu stopped his attack and instead sheathed his sword and stood still.

At this moment, the energy outside the translucent crystal in Fire Phoenix's hand boiled, and countless magma surged from the ground, gradually forming the girl's body around the translucent crystal.

The girl looked at Gulanxiu gratefully. Gulanxiu had just defeated her with only a single blade of light, allowing the Fire Phoenix King to intervene in time and avoid death.

"Your Gulanxiu! You have won!" Fire Phoenix said softly to Gulanxiu, her tone unconsciously becoming even more respectful.

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "You flatter me!"

Fire Phoenix shook her head and said, "Your Highness is indeed a genius. It's a pity that the Holy Land of my Flame Spirit Clan is only useful to fire attribute cultivators, and not very useful to Your Highness. Otherwise, with Your Highness's talent, you would surely have gained something."

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave!"

Fire Phoenix said, "Your Gulanxiu, we get along very well. Since you have come to my Flame Spirit Secret Realm, I naturally have a small gift to give you. I hope Your Highness will not refuse!"

As he said this, he spat out a World Ring from his mouth, which flew towards Gulanxiu.

Faced with the Flame Spirit Clan's overtures, Gulanxiu gladly accepted the World Ring presented by the Fire Phoenix. Inside the World Ring were three fiery red crystals.

Fire Phoenix said to Gulanxiu, "Your Highness, these three crystals are called Flame Spirit Crystal. They were born deep within the Flame Spirit Secret Realm. If a Flesh-and-Blood Life absorbs these crystals, it can transform its body into a Fire Spirit Body. Regardless of its previous talent, it can at least become a Realm Lord recognized by the Law, and there is even a 30% chance of becoming Immortal!"

After a pause, Fire Phoenix continued, "However, this Flame Spirit Crystal Flame Spirit Crystal also has some drawbacks. After inhaling it, because the body is modified, one will instinctively reject the other nine Law, and there will be virtually no possibility of further advancement after breaking through to Immortal. Therefore, it is not suitable for Your Highness to use yourself. However, if you have relatives or friends with average talent, you can let them use it!"

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Fire Phoenix King. I am deeply grateful!"

At this point, Gulanxiu had already understood the core of this so-called Hundred Races Exchange Mission: first, to demonstrate the power of Human Race to the Alien Race and inspire their awe; then, within the rules, to find ways to strengthen themselves.

Similar to Luo Feng's cultivation path in the Golden Horn Race in the original novel, he was invited to the Holy Land to cultivate, and later comprehended the Golden Beast God Statue, which allowed Luo Feng to make remarkable progress and comprehend a trace of the Beast God Artistic Conception, laying the foundation for Luo Feng to embark on the Beast God Path later.

Unfortunately, the Flame Spirit Clan's cultivation method wasn't suitable for him, or perhaps they hadn't come up with a suitable cultivation method for him. After all, this is a two-way street; they'll only invest in you if you demonstrate amazing talent.

What Gulanxiu didn't know was that Fire Phoenix initially only planned to give Gulanxiu one Flame Spirit Crystal to establish a good relationship. However, after receiving Gulanxiu's attack and sensing the power within it, Fire Phoenix changed her mind and added two more Flame Spirit Crystal.

At this moment, in a grand hall made of flames deep within the Flame Spirit Secret Realm, a gigantic flame ten thousand meters tall and a Dragon-Man Race powerhouse over two hundred meters tall are watching the battle between Gulanxiu and the Flame Spirit Clan girl.

A moment later, the enormous flame said enviously, "This little fellow is indeed remarkable! No wonder he caught the eye of the Nine Universe Master, who even had you, Golden Dragon, secretly protect him. He'll probably become your junior brother someday!"

Golden Dragon Venerable shook his head and said, "How could I possibly fathom my teacher's thoughts? I only need to do what my teacher entrusted to me and make sure this little fellow doesn't encounter any accidents. I won't think about anything else. Yan Ling, I'll take my leave now! I'll find you for a drink another time!" With that, he flashed away from the main hall.

Over the next ten years, Gulanxiu traveled to hundreds of Universe Country, successively challenging thirty subordinate races, and winning against them all.

Furthermore, his interactions with different races greatly broadened Gulanxiu's horizons. Although most of these subordinate races were not very powerful, their unique life forms and attack methods impressed Gulanxiu.

Unfortunately, these subordinate tribes did not provide much help to Gulanxiu. Although most of them would offer a gift after a defeat, none of them could truly improve Gulanxiu's abilities.

This is normal, after all, Gulanxiu is now considered a genius who appears once every ten million epochs. His physical comprehension Law Comprehension are all at the top level. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for him to improve his talent by relying on external objects. Moreover, even if they really have these things, they may not give them to Gulanxiu.

Through this period of communication, Gulanxiu also discovered that these Alien Race living within the Human Territory were not very powerful, and their Life Gene were very ordinary. Of course, this was normal, as most of the Alien Race living within the Human Territory were weak groups. Without relying on strong races, it would be difficult to gain territory in the universe, so they would definitely be much worse in terms of various opportunities. Some groups even had the weakest Universe Venerable in theory, with one times the Gene and one times the Amplification.

This shows how extravagant the human race is in cultivating geniuses. Opportunities like the Blood Crystal Dragon Warrior, which can enhance genes and even benefit cosmic venerables, are simply placed in cultivation tasks.

Although he hadn't had any major opportunities before, Gulanxiu still held high hopes for the next tribe.

Gulanxiu's order of challenges was actually deliberate. He first challenged weaker, easily defeated subordinate tribes, which were naturally weaker and poorer and had little chance of success.

But the next race to challenge is different: the Shadow Race, a race shaped like a volleyball, with a silver-white body covered in silver-purple runes. They are surrounded by layers of golden aura and magnetic fields. The Shadow Race is born with ten times the Gene, reaching the Realm Lord Level upon adulthood. They are skilled in Space Law and can traverse Space Interlayer.

Most importantly, the Shadow Race was once a powerful race. Their leader Shadow Master, was an exceptionally powerful Universe Lord. In addition, there were nearly a hundred Universe Venerable. Back then, they were a force to be reckoned with in the Original Universe.

Unfortunately, their leader, Shadow Master, suddenly perished unexpectedly. After losing the pillar that held up the sky, two powerful races attacked them and invaded their territory. Most of their Universe Venerable also perished, and they instantly went from a powerful race to a weak one.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Human Race, the Shadow Race would likely have been wiped out.

After that, the Shadow Race was settled in a Secret Realm within the Human Territory.

Although it has been downgraded to a weak race and can only rely on the Human Race for survival, the Shadow Race was once glorious, and its various methods and resources rank among the top among the Human Race's subordinate races.

The clan's genius Realm Lord has achieved a thirty-three-game winning streak against the Domain Lord of the Axe Secret Realm!

The Gulanxiu naturally attaches great importance to this ethnic group.

Gulanxiu's spaceship steadily slowed down and arrived at the edge of a Secret Realm realm in the Desolate God Universe Country. As soon as he arrived, Gulanxiu sensed a special spatial fluctuation.

A huge opening appeared in the void, and a slightly ethereal voice came from within. "Welcome, Gulanxiu, to my Zhan Ying Secret Realm."

Immediately afterwards, a group of volleyballs of various sizes appeared in front of Gulanxiu.

Leading the group was a giant volleyball about ten meters in diameter. Although it had no mouth or nose, the changes in the golden magnetic field around it could transmit sound.

After the introductions, Gulanxiu learned that the giant volleyball was none other than Sharp Shadow King, a powerful expert of the Shadow Race at the King-level Limit power. After a round of mutual flattery and a hearty meal, the two sides finally got back on track.

Gulanxiu and a volleyball with a diameter of thirty centimeters were seen floating in mid-air, facing each other. The golden magnetic field on the volleyball was fully activated, and it instantly spread out to a range of ten miles from itself.

This is precisely the Innate Secret Method of the Shadow Race: the Magnetic Field Domain.

Knowing he couldn't give him too much time to prepare, Gulanxiu quickly rushed towards the small volleyball in the domain, Lie Kong at it.

The golden domain of the small volleyball suddenly solidified, and Gulanxiu felt his speed slow down, as if he had fallen into a swamp.

At the same time, a semi-transparent Flowing Light, hidden within the golden domain, slashed towards Gulanxiu!

At this moment, Gulanxiu, who was moving forward, suddenly felt a slight spatial fluctuation on the side of his body. He turned around and swung his long sword, which landed right on the semi-transparent Flowing Light.

With a loud "boom!", Gulanxiu was thrown back, instantly breaking through the golden domain and arriving outside. Meanwhile, the little volleyball controlled a weapon that slashed towards Gulanxiu like Flowing Light.

Once outside the golden domain and without its cover, the translucent Flowing Light weapon was no longer so elusive. Each appearance caused a spatial fluctuation, which made it relatively easy for Gulanxiu to defend himself with his longsword!

For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

A moment later, Gulanxiu cleaved the Flowing Light weapon away with another slash, then suddenly raised his longsword high and slashed downwards with the force of splitting Mount Hua! Anyone familiar with the Giant Axe Chaos Tablet would recognize that Gulanxiu's slash had a similar effect to the fifth axe strike of the Giant Axe Chaos Tablet.

The moment the blade struck, the surrounding space seemed to freeze. A pitch-black rift stretching for dozens of miles appeared in the air between the blades. The blade appeared slow but was actually incredibly fast, cleaving the golden magnetic field in two almost instantly.

The purple patterns on the Silver Small Volleyball of the Shadow Race Realm Lord burst forth with a strong light, and a hole instantly appeared in the surrounding space. Then, the Shadow Race member turned around and disappeared into the hole, dodging Gulanxiu's sure-kill strike.

Gulanxiu, holding his sword, closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding space. His Heavenly Eye, covering a range of 100,000 meters, was fully activated, ensuring that no spatial fluctuation could escape his notice.

Suddenly, Gulanxiu sensed a slight fluctuation in the space behind him through his Heavenly Eye, and abruptly turned around to slash behind him!

Just then, a black hole opened up in the space behind Gulanxiu, and Gulanxiu's blade light instantly covered it!

The small volleyball that had just peeked out sensed the terrifying blade light and instantly retreated, causing Gulanxiu's strike to miss its mark.

However, Gulanxiu was not disappointed. He knew that although the Shadow Race could travel through the Space Interlayer with this talent, it consumed a lot of their Original Force and could not last long before they Immortal. He only needed to force them to stay trapped in the Space Interlayer!

Thinking this way, Gulanxiu did just that. He slashed wildly here and there, but every slash landed precisely on the spatial rift that the Gulanxiu Shadow Race genius had just opened.

This forced the Shadow Race to keep their heads down.

A few minutes later, Gulanxiu had already unleashed dozens of strikes. Seeing that there was no good opportunity, the genius of the Shadow Race instantly fled dozens of miles away in the Space Interlayer, escaping the range of Gulanxiu's Heavenly Eye before reappearing outside.

Seeing this, Gulanxiu sneered, quickly stepped forward and slashed out with his sword. It was that same sword that imprisoned and tore everything apart. Faced with this sword, the genius of the Shadow Race could not resist it and once again disappeared into the Space Interlayer.

Carl, who was watching from a distance and ready to intervene at any moment, smiled. He knew that Gulanxiu had won again. Although Gulanxiu had achieved a 30-game winning streak, Carl still found it unbelievable.

After all, the Shadow Race is different from the other races that Gulanxiu challenged before. The Shadow Race is naturally good at Space Law, and with their innate domain talents, they are almost on par with the top Star Giant Beast in terms of talent in all aspects. Moreover, the genius of the Shadow Race who fought Gulanxiu also had extraordinary Law Comprehension, which was about the level of the 13th level of the Sky Bridge.

But Carl hadn't expected Gulanxiu to win so easily, as if the Shadow Race's tenfold Gene and higher cultivation level didn't exist. What Carl couldn't understand the most was how Gulanxiu of the Zhanying Shadow Race.

Carl couldn't understand it, but the Marquis-level Immortal of the Shadow Race saw it clearly. In his opinion, although Gulanxiu was slightly stronger than his descendants in terms of Law, it was still limited. What caused all this was that Gulanxiu's powerful foundation was actually no less than that of his descendants who First Stage Realm Lord. As for how Gulanxiu discovered his descendants in the Space Interlayer, he didn't know either.

But he knew the outcome was already decided, and there was no need to continue!

He sighed and said, "Your Gulanxiu! Stop! We surrender!"
