The Demon Race's Assassination

After leaving the Golden Horn Race, Gulanxiu began his challenge career again. After defeating five opponents in a row, Gulanxiu arrived at another ordinary tribe Mountain Giant Clan.

Although mountain giants are called giants, they are actually not related to Human Race at all. To be precise, they are a combination of Flesh-and-Blood Life and rock-based life forms.

Their bodies are giant figures made of rock, with a single eye made of flesh and blood between their brows. This eye is their core and their vital point before they break through to Immortal.

The Mountain Giant Clan. Their core one-eyed Gene Multiplier, but their rock-formed bodies have a ten-fold Gene.

It is also because of the Gene differences between the body and the core that the Mountain Giant Clan has great destructive power but only average soul defense. However, this weakness will disappear after breaking through to Immortal, making them true ten-fold Gene life forms.

Although they are both ordinary races like the Golden Horn Race, the Golden Horn Race Mountain Giant Clan are much stronger overall!

The Mountain Giant Clan now possess nearly a hundred Universe Venerable, including five Universe Overlord and one Top-tier Universe Overlord. It can be said that, apart from lacking a Cosmic Lord, they are no less powerful than most other powerful races.

At this moment, an Marquis-level Immortal of the Mountain Giant Clan quietly left the core territory of the Mountain Giant Clan and arrived in a vast Divine Kingdom.

The mountain giant, seemingly familiar with the place, entered a grand hall and addressed a peculiar creature—black and white, resembling a pig but not quite, with five toes on each foot—saying, "Master! The Human Race genius Gulanxiu, whom you asked me to keep an eye on, has arrived in our Mountain Giant Clan and will challenge our genius tomorrow. What do you need me to do then?"

After hearing the mountain giant's report, the strange creature said, "Gulanxiu has now fought over forty battles with a 100% win rate. Although he is currently challenging relatively weaker races, there are still a few geniuses among them. The fact that Gulanxiu can still win every battle under these circumstances shows that his combat power is heaven-defying. He is definitely a peerless genius rarely seen in Human Race history. We must eliminate such a genius at all costs!"

When the mountain giant heard "at all costs," he paused, but immediately replied, "Yes, Master!"

The strange creature spoke again, "If you're going to make a move, use Soul Attack first, and ideally, Soul Control. That way, even if he has Human Race universe lord behind him, he won't be able to resurrect him. Only in this way can you truly kill a genius."

The mountain giant replied, "Yes, Master! I understand!"

The strange creature nodded and said, "Then you can go! I'll wait for your good news!"

The mountain giant bowed to the strange creature and then turned and left.

The strange creature muttered to itself, "I hope this time it will succeed! Sacrificing a King servant in exchange for a peerless genius of the Human Race is worthwhile! Hmph! Human Race! One day, my four Demon Race ancestors will shatter that star field and completely annihilate the Human Race!"

This peculiar being was none other than the Dream Tapir Venerable, responsible for intelligence and assassinations among the Demon Race race. As one of the few Demon Race races skilled in the soul, almost every Dream-Eating Clan was Soul Master, and the Dream Tapir Venerable was one of the best among them.

It is precisely because of this talent that, although the Dream Venerable is of average strength, it can still be responsible for core tasks such as intelligence gathering. After all, it has hundreds of King servants scattered throughout the various regions of the universe, which is its greatest advantage!

After returning to his tribe, the mountain giant immediately summoned a First Stage Realm Lord mountain giant.

After arriving at the residence of the King Mountain Giant, the First Stage Realm Lord asked in confusion, "Elder Ming!"

Did you need something from me?

The Ming the Mountain Giant smile, "Rios, tomorrow the unparalleled Human Race genius Gulanxiu, will challenge my Mountain Giant Clan. You will be the one to fight. In order to defeat that Human Race genius, I will pass on a secret technique to you to enhance your strength!"

Upon hearing Ming's words, the mountain giant named Rios's one eye flashed with excitement, and he immediately replied, "Thank you, Elder Ming!"

The Ming the Mountain Giant nodded and said, "Look into my eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Rios felt a momentary mental lapse, realizing he had been unknowingly Soul Control.

A hint of excitement flashed in Ming's single eye as he said, "Done!" As a Marquis-level Immortal, although he wasn't particularly skilled in matters of the soul, controlling a First Stage Realm Lord when he was off guard was still quite easy for him.

He swiftly entered Rios's Inner World and ordered Rios to leave his residence.

Three days later, Gulanxiu and Rios stood facing each other. Looking at the hundred-meter-tall rock giant before them, a hint of excitement flashed in Gulanxiu's eyes. He was finally going to meet an opponent whose foundation was comparable to his own.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Gulanxiu rushed forward first!

It's clear that Gulanxiu takes this opponent very seriously, unleashing his strongest move, the Shattering Sky-Shattering Slash, right from the start! Although Gulanxiu is only two meters tall, this slash made even the hundred-meter-tall mountain giant opposite him appear somewhat insignificant.

As the strongest First Stage Realm Lord of the Mountain Giant Clan, Rios was only Domain Lord Ninth Stage not long ago. However, there is currently no suitable candidate among the Mountain Giant Clan, so the strongest Domain Lord was sent to break through to meet the Human Race genius.

After all, the Mountain Giant Clan also wanted to defeat the Human Race to prove their strength.

Rios was not afraid of Gulanxiu's attack. Two huge pointed stone hammers appeared in his hands. He raised one high above his head to meet the Great Blade in the sky, while he spun the other hammer and threw it at Gulanxiu.

Gulanxiu's expression changed. He hadn't expected Rios to fight so desperately right from the start! If he didn't sheathe his sword now, even if he broke through Rios's defense, he would still be killed by Rios's flying stone hammer.

This was certainly not the outcome Gulanxiu wanted. Helpless, he had no choice but to flick his wrist, dodging the stone hammer that was blocking his attack, and then slammed it down heavily on the incoming stone hammer.

With a deafening boom, the stone hammer flew backward back into Rios's hand. Because Gulanxiu had hastily sheathed his sword, his strength was somewhat weakened, and he was sent flying dozens of miles away by Rios.

Rios pressed his advantage relentlessly, rapidly swinging his Twin Hammers in a frenzied attack on Gulanxiu.

Gulanxiu kept swinging his sword to parry, and although he was slightly at a disadvantage for a time, he still managed to keep his footing.

Carl, who had been watching the fight from a short distance away, frowned, his expression tense, and stared intently at the battlefield, muttering to himself, "Something's not right! It's just an ordinary duel, why is it acting like mortal enemies? Every move is aimed at mutual destruction, it doesn't seem normal! Elder Yu! Does Rios usually fight like this here?"

The last sentence was spoken to the thousand-meter-tall King Level mountain giant beside him.

A hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the King Level mountain giant, who said with a wry smile, "He's not usually like this! Could it be that his clan is making him break through to the Realm Lord, and he's harboring resentment and wants to vent it?"

Carl nodded without saying anything, focusing entirely on the changes happening in the arena, ready to make a move at any moment.

By this time, Gulanxiu had completely adapted to Rios's style of play, gradually turning the tide and seizing the initiative.

At this moment, Gulanxiu also discovered Rios's weakness here. Although Rios's basic strength and Law Comprehension were similar to his, his secret techniques were rigid and not as smooth to execute!

This is normal, though. The secret technique Rios used was created by a Universe Venerable in their race. Rios himself was learning and imitating the secret technique of others, so it was naturally not as well-suited to his own secret technique as it was created by Gulanxiu!

After fighting for several minutes, Gulanxiu finally found an opportunity, knocking away one of Rios ' stone hammers with a single strike and then slashing at Rios' head.

At this moment, the mountain giant Yu, who was watching the battle, was about to step in to save Rios. After all, Rios was a rare genius among their people, and they certainly couldn't let him perish at the hands of Gulanxiu.

However, at that moment, Rios ' body exploded with a loud bang, and at the same time, a powerful aura instantly appeared in the arena. It was Ming the Mountain Giant enslaved by the Demon Race.

Since receiving the assassination mission, the Ming the Mountain Giant has been hiding in Rios ' Inner World, observing the battle between Rios and Gulanxiu.

Although as Soul Slave he would not refuse his master's orders, his instincts told him he did not want to die, so from the beginning he had made preparations for both possibilities.

If Rios can defeat and kill Gulanxiu, then he won't have to die and can continue to lurk among the mountain Human Race.

If Rios cannot kill Gulanxiu, then he will make his own move. Once he does, whether or not he can kill Gulanxiu, he will have no chance of survival.

Seeing that Rios was about to be defeated, he instantly broke through Rios's Inner World and came out into the outside world.

As soon as he appeared, he made his move without hesitation, sending a wisp of Void Divine Power straight into Gulanxiu's Sea of Consciousness.

"You're asking for it!" came an angry roar.

The Ming the Mountain Giant horrified to discover that he was trapped in the air and unable to move, and even his Void Divine Power had vanished into the void.

A powerful Dragon-Man Race, over two hundred meters tall, appeared in mid-air and coldly addressed the Ming the Mountain Giant: "Speak! Who ordered you to do this!"

As he spoke, he loosened the restraints slightly, but the moment the restraints were relaxed, the Ming the Mountain Giant's body began to expand rapidly and then exploded!

The dragon-man casually waved his hand, and the terrifying explosion vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Gulanxiu a sigh of relief. When the mountain giant first appeared, Gulanxiu instinctively wanted to escape into the Green Lotus. Although that would expose his secret of having Heavy Treasure in front of everyone, it was better than losing his life!

At worst, he can skip the later challenges, break through to the Realm Lord directly, and then cultivate in Chaos City for three thousand years!

With his talent, he could reach the King level of the 18th level of the Sky Bridge in three thousand years in Chaos City. Then, he could directly break through to Immortal and obtain permanent residency in Chaos City. After that, he would stay in Chaos City until he was strong enough to protect the Heavy Treasure before going out.

Of course, this was a last resort, a desperate measure. Gulanxiu would not have done this if there hadn't been absolutely no other way.

Fortunately, the powerful golden dragonman suddenly intervened, forcing the mountain giant to self-destruct and averting the crisis.

After the golden dragonman made his move, Gulanxiu knew that he was most likely arranged by the Nine Universe Master to protect him. When Gulanxiu saw the Nine Universe Master ' email before, he thought it would be good enough to have a Marquis-level Immortal to protect him, but he did not expect that it was actually a Universe Venerable.

Gulanxiu quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life, Venerable One!"

The Golden Dragon Venerable nodded and said, "Gulanxiu! You're very good! I've followed you for over ten years, and I've witnessed your performance all this time. You truly deserve to be called a genius even your teachers admire!"

Gulanxiu's heart stirred upon hearing this. This Dragonman Venerable actually called himself a teacher, so he must be a disciple of the Nine Universe Master. In addition, considering the familiar aura on his body and his height of over two hundred meters, he was probably an eighth-level Dragon Blood Warrior!

Thinking this, Gulanxiu dared not be negligent and quickly said, "Your Venerable flatters me! I was just lucky!"

The Golden Dragon Venerable said to Gulanxiu with a hint of deeper meaning, "A genius who can be favored by a teacher must have extraordinary abilities; it's not just a matter of good luck!"

After speaking with Gulanxiu, Golden Dragon Venerable suddenly turned to the void and said, "Haoshi! My Human Race genius came to your Mountain Giant Clan for an exchange, yet he was assassinated by one of your clan's experts! You owe me an explanation for this!"

A sigh echoed through the air, and a mountain giant thousands of meters tall appeared, speaking to the Golden Dragon Venerable in a helpless tone, "What explanation do you want from us! With your eyesight, you should be able to see that my two kinsmen have been Soul Enslavement. The only ones capable of specifically assassinating your Human Race geniuses are the Demon Race race, the Mechanical Race, and the Insect Race! Why don't you demand an explanation from them!"

The Golden Dragon Venerable chuckled and said shamelessly, "I don't care! My clan's genius was assassinated by your people on your territory. This is your negligence! You must provide him with some form of compensation!"

It was obvious that Venerable Haoshi had a good relationship with Golden Dragon Venerable. Seeing Golden Dragon Venerable's shameless appearance, he felt helpless for a moment before finally asking, "What do you want?"

The Golden Dragon Venerable nodded and said, "Simple! Just let this little guy go to your clan's Holy Land to cultivate for a while!"

Venerable Haoshi suddenly realized and said, "So this is what you really are. However, our clan's Holy Land only helps with the cultivation of the Earth-Space Beast God Path. Your Human Race is naturally weaker. Are you sure this little guy can cultivate it?"

The Golden Dragon Venerable nodded and said, "Then you don't need to worry about it! Whether he can cultivate or not is his business! If he can't cultivate, you won't suffer any loss!"

Venerable Haoshi nodded and said, "Very well! I'll give you face then. How about letting this little fellow cultivate in my clan's Holy Land for five hundred years as compensation?"

The Golden Dragon Venerable nodded and said, "That's excellent!"

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Gulanxiu, saying, "Boy! I see you have a good talent for the Beast God Path. You were able to cultivate a trace of the Gold-Space Law even with zero foundation. The Mountain Giant Clan was once a servant clan of the Earth Beast God and possesses a relatively complete Beast God Inheritance. Whether you can cultivate some of its secrets depends on yourself!"

Gulanxiu was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had sensed that the Ancestral Dragon Clone was particularly suited to the Beast God Path when he was with the Golden Horn Race. He had planned to buy some secret manuals to aid his cultivation after returning to the clan. He never expected that the Golden Dragon Venerable would have arranged everything for him.

At this moment, Gulanxiu felt boundless gratitude towards the Golden Dragon Venerable and the Nine Universe Master on Dragon Tower Star.
