Lu Ming watched Lord of Anyong's actions quietly, a playful smile curving his lips, "Sending a distress signal? A clever one indeed. Too bad—"
He didn't take the Lord of Anyong's petty tricks seriously at all.
Faced with absolute power, all these struggles seem utterly ridiculous.
"I'll use you as bait."
Lu Ming murmured to himself, his right hand slowly gripping the World-Extinguishing Blade on his back.
The moment the blade was drawn from its sheath, the temperature of the entire body of water seemed to drop by countless degrees.
The Destruction aura flowing from that jet-black blade made Lord of Anyong's soul tremble.
"Primordial Beginning—Sever the Dao and reveal myself!!"
Lu Ming's voice was very soft, yet it seemed to contain the profound truth of the universe at its beginning.
He seemingly swung his sword casually, without any earth-shattering momentum or dazzling light, leaving only a simple, unadorned black blade mark that silently sliced through the void.
This strike seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space, pointing directly to the very source!
"No!!!"
The Lord of Anyong's eyes were bloodshot; he felt an unprecedented threat of death.
He frantically burned his divine power, holding the golden scepter horizontally in front of him. At the same time, his top-grade armor emitted a dazzling light, pushing its defense to the limit.
However-
"Boom!!!"
The moment the black blade mark touched the golden scepter, Lord of Anyong felt an indescribable, terrifying power emanating from the scepter.
His prized, top-tier armor was as fragile as paper before this power; its defensive properties were forcibly torn apart and penetrated!
"Oh my god!!"
Lord of Anyong let out a shrill scream, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
During his backward flight, he was horrified to discover that his divine body was rapidly Annihilation!
Ten percent----fifteen percent----twenty percent!
With just one strike, his divine body lost twenty percent of its strength!
Moreover, that strange Destruction force continues to erode his divine body, preventing its natural recovery.
"How is that possible!"
The Lord of Anyong Young was roaring inwardly.
"My armor is a top-tier, peak-grade armor that can reduce attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original strength! Even the strongest being in the universe couldn't possibly lose twenty percent of my divine body in a single strike!"
What made him even more desperate was that, although he was knocked away, he was still unable to escape the range of that chaotic airflow.
That invisible domain was like the most solid cage, imprisoning him firmly in place.
"This Domain-type Supreme Treasure is Supreme True Treasure!"
The Lord of Anyong finally recognized the domain that Lu Ming had used.
"And that War Blade —it's also Supreme True Treasure!"
Two Supreme True Treasure! And both are top-tier Supreme True Treasure!
This realization plunged Lord of Anyong into utter despair.
With two Supreme True Treasure, Lu Ming's strength had far exceeded his expectations.
"Just five strikes—just five strikes are enough to completely annihilate me!"
The Lord of Anyong calculated rapidly, his heart filled with a chill.
He tried to mobilize the divine power of the plant life clone within his body to replenish what he had consumed, but he found that the Destruction sword intent was like a bone-deep ailment, severely interfering with the flow and recovery of his divine power.
At this speed, he wouldn't last five strikes!
"My life is over!"
The Lord of Anyong closed his eyes, his heart filled with resentment and regret.
He regretted why he had pursued the Flint Master, and why he hadn't fled immediately upon noticing the anomaly.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Holding the World-Extinguishing Blade, Lu Ming slowly walked towards the Lord of Anyong had already given up resistance. His eyes remained calm, as if the previous strike had been merely a casual gesture.
" The Lord of Anyong."
Lu Ming's voice broke the silence.
I can spare your life—
The Lord of Anyong suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer of hope flashing within them.
As long as I can live, anything is negotiable!
"But."
Lu Ming changed the subject.
"I want your God Eye Race to exchange something for your life."
What do you want?
The Lord of Anyong asked anxiously, fearing that Lu Ming might change his mind.
As long as they can live, the God Eye Race can bring out even the Peak Top-Grade Supreme Treasure.
Lu Ming's tone was simple and direct. "I need one life gene sample from every race and every level within your God Eye Race's Miniature Universe."
"What?"
The Lord of Anyong was stunned; he never expected Lu Ming to make such a request.
What do you need this for?
In the eyes of the Lord of Anyong, although life gene samples are precious, they are not difficult to collect for a top-tier race like the God Eye Race.
Moreover, this kind of thing is useless to the vast majority of powerful individuals, unless they are special beings who specialize in studying life genes.
Lu Ming didn't explain, he simply said, "All you need to do is send a message. Now!"
Left with no other option, the Lord of Anyong could only contact the clan's higher-ups through the clan's Communication Token.
He relayed Lu Ming's request verbatim, while emphasizing his own critical situation.
A moment later, the Lord of Anyong looked up at Lu Ming: "The clan has agreed to your request, but it will take time to prepare. The number of life gene samples from all races and all levels is enormous; it will take at least ten years to collect them all."
Lu Ming nodded; this timing was within his expectations.
As the pinnacle race of the First Reincarnation Era, the God Eye Race rules over a vast Miniature Universe. With numerous races within it, collecting complete genetic samples of all life forms would indeed take time.
"Very good."
Lu Ming said, then suddenly raised his hand and swung the World-Extinguishing Blade once more!
"Primordial Beginning—Sever the Dao and reveal myself!!"
Three consecutive cuts!
Three black blade marks appeared almost simultaneously, precisely slashing towards the Lord of Anyong!
"Oh my god!!"
The Lord of Anyong let out a shrill scream; he never expected Lu Ming to suddenly make a move after the negotiations were completed.
What are you doing!
After the three strikes, the divine body of the Lord of Anyong was once again rapidly depleted, dropping from the original 60% to less than 10%!
He was Extreme Point weak that even maintaining his basic form became difficult.
Fortunately, he had a clone, which quickly replenished his divine body.
Lu Ming sheathed his sword and stood still, explaining calmly, "You have too many divine bodies; I need you to be weak enough. Otherwise—I won't feel at ease."
The Lord of Anyong gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn't even have the strength to stand up; he could only slump in the void, letting the chaotic currents envelop him.
"But I also have to thank you."
Lu Ming continued.
"Carry the clone with you as well."
Lord of Anyong felt a chill run down his spine. He did indeed carry his plant life clone with him, which was his usual combat habit.
Unexpectedly, this became Lu Ming's opportunity to severely damage all of his divine bodies in one fell swoop.
"You—oh my god!!"
Lord of Anyong wanted to say something, but the intense pain made him scream again.
Lu Ming began swinging his sword again.
