"Not bad." Harold nodded slightly.

"Give me the coordinates. We leave immediately!"

"Yes, yes!" Sha Luo answered respectfully and transmitted the coordinates of War God Star.

Harold's D4-class Universe Spaceship immediately started up again and flew toward War God Star.

This was already within the territory of the Blue Silver Empire. Traveling through the Dark Universe, they could arrive in a single day.

That Wang Yu might be a genius with a high level of domain attainment, but his foundational strength was too weak. He was only a Second-Order Universe Level, nothing to Harold.

Harold was confident he could capture him with ease!

The difference in strength between Star-level and Universe-level was enormous, and the difference in wealth was the same.

Especially for a Universe-level being with One-Star Accounts at the two major banks—killing one would yield more than killing a hundred thousand Star-level beings!

Even including the return trip, it would take no more than two months. Compared to a Universe-level lifespan of a hundred thousand years, that was extremely brief.

Pulling off such a job would be quite nice.

"If that brat has even more wealth than I imagined, that'd be even better! Hahaha!" Harold thought smugly.

One day later.

Wang Yu suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky.

One Universe Spaceship after another was breaking through War God Star's atmosphere and descending!

At a glance, there were ten ships in total. According to the intelligent comparison of their appearances, one was D4-class, while the other nine were all C9-class!

Every ship bore the emblem of a blood-dripping fang!

"Blood Fang Star Bandits?" Wang Yu watched calmly, but inwardly, he relaxed.

There was only one D-class Universe Spaceship. Surely the three powerful Universe-level captains had not all squeezed into one ship, nor would any of them ride a C-class ship?

That meant only one had come.

And it could not be the leader coming alone, so it could only be one of the two vice-captains.

That level of combat power was nothing to fear!

Mentor Yoda flashed into view beside Wang Yu.

"Only one vice-captain came." Mentor Yoda smiled.

With over ninety thousand years of experience, he could naturally understand the situation at a glance.

Even if "Blood Fang" Quinn had come personally, he would not have feared him. Naturally, it would be even easier if the enemy was weaker.

"Mentor, since only one came, I want to keep him here." Wang Yu said calmly.

"Hm?" Mentor Yoda's expression shifted slightly.

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? If I show myself, they will certainly retreat. And once they know how close you and I are, they naturally will not dare target you so easily again."

"But if we leave one of their vice-captains here, we will truly become mortal enemies. After I leave, they will definitely look for another chance to deal with you..."

"No need to worry, Mentor." Wang Yu looked at him and smiled.

"I've already crossed the Law Threshold of the Origin Laws."

"What!? You've crossed the Law Threshold of the Origin Laws!?" Mentor Yoda was shocked and stared wide-eyed.

"You, you, you really..."

Wang Yu did not say anything further. "Mentor, if the two of us act together, the other side will not even have a chance to escape."

"Mm..." After his shock, Mentor Yoda quickly nodded.

"Good. Since you've crossed the Law Threshold, you're already a top figure among Universe-level beings. This is indeed the time to kill someone and establish your authority, so that ordinary riffraff won't dare provoke you again!"

"One of Blood Fang's vice-captains carries enough weight. He's perfect for establishing your authority!"

Having made their decision, the two turned their gazes toward the fleet in the sky again.

The ten star pirate ships hovered above War God Star like ten savage colossal beasts, blotting out the sky.

The cabin doors opened one after another, and figures flew out.

The first to appear were more than ten thousand Planetary-level star pirates. All of them were Ninth-Order Planetary Level, their auras fierce and vicious!

Following them were several hundred Star-level star pirates, likewise all Ninth-Order Star Level. They wore standardized blood-red battle suits, their killing intent soaring and overwhelming!

Yet the most terrifying were the final two figures, standing in midair.

The man on the left was tall and thin, with a sinister face and eyes like venomous snakes. He was none other than the infamous Blood Fang Star Bandits vice-captain, "Bone Crusher" Harold!

Simply standing there, he caused the surrounding space to distort faintly. His sharp, violent Golden Domain seemed capable of grinding everything to pieces!

The man on the right was Sha Luo, the slave trader who had once visited War God Star. The smooth merchant's smile he once wore was gone, replaced by greed and cruelty!

The pressure of a Third-Order Universe Level spread out as well. Though not as powerful as Harold's, it was still enough to make heaven and earth tremble!

The two Universe-level powerhouses released their might without restraint!

Boom!

The terrifying pressure swept across the entire War God Star in an instant like a tangible tsunami!

Everyone stared at the two demon-god-like figures in the sky with terror written across their faces!

On an ordinary planet, a Planetary-level being could shatter mountains with a single strike, while a Star-level being could sink an island with one blow...

But a Universe-level being could shatter an entire continental plate with a single attack!

Even a shockwave formed from a Universe-level being's breath could kill a Planetary-level being!

The reason Ninth-Order Star Level beings were commonplace, while a First-Order Universe Level being could rise so dramatically in status and easily become the lord of dozens or even hundreds of planets, was because the gap between Universe-level beings and those below them was simply too vast!

"Uni... Universe-level..."

Venina's legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Although she was Ninth-Order Star Level, she had not been trained as a combatant. Faced with the pressure of Universe-level powerhouses, she could not even stand steadily!

The guards and staff around her, whether Star-level or Planetary-level, had all fallen to their knees, trembling violently!

"Why is a Universe-level enemy attacking..."

At the same time, in a cultivation chamber on the other side of the palace.

Tian Shi had just finished a round of cultivation and was rejoicing over his progress in the Fire Refinement Secret Manual when an indescribably terrifying pressure suddenly descended with a crash, as though the sky itself had collapsed!

"This is..."

He struggled out of the cultivation chamber and looked up at the sky.

The moment he saw those two terrifying figures radiating destructive auras, he froze in place, utterly stunned!

That was a terrifying aura completely beyond the limits of his understanding! Just sensing it made his body stiffen beyond movement, while even his soul trembled!

"Those are... Universe-level beings!?"

"Powerhouses on the same level as Teacher... When Universe-level beings truly release their might, are they this terrifying..."

"So strong... It's like legendary demon gods descending..."

A storm raged in Tian Shi's heart, and his face turned pale.

For the first time, he understood so clearly just how cruel and dangerous this universe was!

Such terrifying enemies could come to kill without any warning at all!

He thought of his teacher.

His teacher was also a Universe-level powerhouse...

But the powerhouses in the sky were simply too terrifying, and there were two of them. Could Teacher... fight such terrifying enemies?

Just then, his intelligent optical computer suddenly received an email.

When he opened it, Tian Shi's expression changed slightly.

"Teacher's mission?"

At this moment, all of War God Star had fallen into immense panic.

Yet no chaos broke out, because under the pressure of Universe-level powerhouses, even Star-level beings found it difficult to stand. Many people had collapsed directly to the ground, trembling as despair filled their eyes.

"So this is Universe-level... It's too terrifying!"

"We... we're nothing but ants!"

"Can Lord Wang Yu... Can he stop such terrifying enemies?"

The entire War God Star had fallen into incomparable fear!

In the sky, Sha Luo looked down at the terrified and despairing expressions of countless people below, a cruel and smug smile appearing on his face.

The reason he had become a slave trader was because he greatly enjoyed the feeling of controlling other people's lives and deaths.

But controlling Universe-level beings who had once stood on equal footing with him would feel even more wonderful!

"Lord Wang Yu, I have come to visit again. This time, too, I have been somewhat presumptuous. Please do not take offense!" Sha Luo spoke gently, as though chatting with an acquaintance. His voice, strengthened by genetic energy, echoed through the sky.

"Allow me to introduce the man beside me. He is the famed vice-captain of the Blood Fang Star Bandits, Lord 'Bone Crusher' Harold!"

"Captain Harold has personally arrived. It is your honor, Lord Wang Yu. Why don't you hurry out and welcome this honored guest?"

Hearing this, Harold glanced at Sha Luo with some displeasure.

He had never had the patience to slowly frighten weaklings for amusement. He preferred being direct. They could act arrogantly while raiding planets, but they could not truly take their time playing around.

Move quickly, loot the place, and run. Powerful beings could not be bothered to hunt them down. But if they moved too slowly, did they think all powerful beings were dead?

"Hmph!" Harold snorted coldly.

"Dawdling around and wasting my time!"

"Wang Yu, right? Get your ass out here!"

Harold's voice exploded like thunder in everyone's minds. Those with weak wills fainted on the spot.

"Hehe..." Wang Yu smiled as he flew out from the palace and arrived before the two men in the sky.

"Captain Harold, Mister Sha Luo, two Universe-level powerhouses have come to visit. This lord truly welcomes you with open arms!"

Wang Yu's tone was composed, as though he were genuinely receiving guests.

"?" Sha Luo's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

What was going on?

This reaction was different from what he had expected...

Faced with an attack from two Universe-level powerhouses, Wang Yu was not flustered, did not beg in fear, and did not even show the slightest hint of tension.

Why could he remain so calm?

Was he putting on a brave front? Or had he...

Hidden some trump card?

Harold, however, did not care at all. What methods could a newly advanced Universe-level being possibly possess?

Powerful treasures required the user's own strength to keep up. Even if Wang Yu possessed an advanced laser gun capable of killing a Universe-level being in a single strike, a mere Second-Order Universe Level like him had no ability to hit Harold.

Harold gave Wang Yu a cold glance, then his eyes fell upon Wang Yu's spatial ring.

"Enough nonsense." Harold's voice was icy.

"Hand over all your wealth, and I may consider sparing your life."

Hearing that, Wang Yu nodded lightly, yet smiled as though he did not care. "No rush, you two. There happens to be another honored guest on my War God Star. Why don't we meet first, then talk?"

"Honored guest?" Sha Luo and Harold's expressions changed at the same time.
