Suffering a setback in his clash against Li Che, Hu Yanbo appeared quite decisive. He immediately ordered his other undying servant who had come with him to make a move, bringing Iron Sword Marquis-whose divine power had suffered severe suppression-aboard a spaceship to leave this battlefield at top speed.
Seeing this, the Hu Feng Army Lord who had allied with him was deeply unwilling, yet still had no choice but to depart directly, leaving behind the heritage of the Binary Star System that belonged to the Marquis-level undying to the Rong Bing bloodline.
"Boss, are we really not going to fight for the heritage of Marquis Yuchen?"
Meanwhile, an unknown number of light-years away from the Hufeng Starfield, aboard the Meteorite Star Ship, the Intelligent Lifeform Babata watched Iron Sword Marquis's spaceship gradually recede, its voice filled with unwillingness.
After all, Marquis Yuchen had been an undying deity who was nearly at the high-level marquis tier during his lifetime. Even if his heritage fetched a depressed price when sold to the Five Major Powers, it could still bring in at least five to six million Hunyuan Units.
If they could follow the original distribution plan, Hu Yanbo would obtain 65% of the sales proceeds, providing a considerable supplement to his financial situation.
In Babata's view, this was actually not difficult.
After all, Li Che had clearly made preparations beforehand when dealing with Iron Sword Marquis, and the effect of that divine power toxin was too covert and sudden. Otherwise, had Iron Sword Marquis burned a small amount of his divine body, Li Che's side would have had almost no possibility of victory.
By then, if Hu Yanbo of the Meteorite Star Lineage and the remaining eight undying deities under his command all struck at once, the Hufeng and Rong Bing lineages definitely could not have held them off.
"We won't fight for it. A powerful figure at the World Master Level who could trounce an ordinary Iron Sword—who knows if there's some great existence behind that person? Let's not look for trouble."
In response, however, Hu Yanbo appeared quite restrained and calm. Although he had long walked alone, successively refusing the goodwill of the Five Major Powers and even turning down the invitation of a certain great existence, he was well aware of the terror of those truly strong figures in the universe.
Although he, Hu Yanbo, could be considered to call the wind and summon the rain within numerous medium-sized civilization countries, he truly counted for nothing in front of those truly great existences.
"What's more..."
As Hu Yanbo spoke, he suddenly raised his head. His narrow eyes flashed with a yearning brilliance, and his divine power fluctuated slightly, causing even the light and shadow inside the Meteorite Star Ship's cockpit to flicker.
"I have now obtained a World Master Level Zerg Queen. If I can soul-enslave that World Master Level Zerg Queen and cultivate a peak World Master Level Zerg Army, what does the heritage of a mere ordinary marquis-level undying count for?"
Upon hearing this, Babata and the seven undying deity servants currently accompanying Hu Yanbo all fell into silence.
Their master, Hu Yanbo, actually possessed a secret treasure unknown to ordinary people.
A living World Master Level Zerg Queen!
That queen was accidentally obtained by Hu Yanbo back then in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. Although she was merely a world lord, she possessed unfathomable potential.
After all, a World Master Level queen, if she could obtain sufficient resources, could produce countless World Master Level Zerg Warriors.
If the number of peak world lord Zerg Warriors reached one million, the might erupted together would be terrifying enough to make even peak marquis-level undying wary.
And if such a queen grew to the undying level...
The war potential possessed by that Queen's Nest would reach a degree that made the great majority of King-level Immortals tremble.
Yet the problem was that even though Hu Yanbo was a near-marquis-level soul master, he still could not successfully control the Zerg Queen at present.
Even though that queen was merely a world lord, Hu Yanbo had no way out.
To Hu Yanbo, a relatively young and ambitious undying-level soul master, this was truly a very distressing matter.
Even the undying servants of Hu Yanbo felt that their master had become somewhat obsessed.
"Boss, where are we going next?" After a moment, Babata, who was usually closest to Hu Yanbo, asked this.
Hearing this, Hu Yanbo pondered for a long time before speaking in a low voice:
"First have Iron Sword and the others come and rendezvous with us, and then we will set out toward the Eleventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield, going to the 'Nine Souls Continent' within it to search for treasures. I have a piece of intelligence from there; perhaps we can acquire a precious treasure in exchange for a more powerful soul secret technique."
As soon as these words were spoken, Babata and the other undying deity servants behind Hu Yanbo changed their expressions slightly.
The Nine Souls Continent of the Eleventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield-that was a very dangerous place, and normally one had to be a marquis-level undying to explore it safely.
Hu Yanbo's strength, after all, fell somewhat short.
"Master, are we really going there? Last time in the Nine Souls Continent, we already incurred a grievance with that Demon Hand. That is an undying deity who is barely a king-level; if we run into him again..."
One of the undying servants whose combat strength was comparable to Hu Yanbo spoke, clearly unwilling to let Hu Yanbo take risks.
"We're going! The Nine Souls Continent is far too suited for a soul-specialized undying like me. Only a place like that can allow my strength to improve at an even faster speed!" Hu Yanbo said through gritted teeth.
Soon, under the will of the Master of Yunmo Star, Hu Yanbo, the F9-class Meteorite Star Ship, cast from Red Mixed Copper Mother, turned around in the universe and rapidly flew toward the Eleventh Battlefield, infinitely far away.
"Sir, the battle recording between you and that undying deity Iron Sword Marquis has already been sent to the undying ones of the five major factions including the Virtual Universe Company!"
Just as the Meteorite Star Ship was preparing to leave the territory of the Ganwu Universe Country, at the edge of the Rongbing Starfield, inside the K-13 Double Star System, Li Che was listening to the report of his intelligent assistant Bai Yue.
On the planet below, the two undying deities Rong Bing and Qi Yao were collecting that F-class spaceship while simultaneously contacting the Universe Mercenary Alliance, preparing to package and sell that Intelligent Lifeform along with Marquis Yuchen's heritage.
Yet Li Che did not participate in these matters; he had entirely no inclination to participate in the sale of this aspect, only needing to wait for his own share of the proceeds.
Just a moment ago, he had packaged the video of his battle with Iron Sword Marquis and sent it to the undying ones of the Virtual Universe Company and the other Five Major Powers in the Rongbing Starfield.
A peak world lord-level genius frontally defeating a marquis-level undying deity-even if divine power toxins were used, even if that undying deity did not use divine power burning methods, such a battle record was still sufficient to shock undying deities.
This was the final piece of kindling Li Che added for himself to join the five major factions, hoping that the video of this battle could play a role and attract the attention of those great existences.
After all, Li Che's current age was merely a little over fifty thousand years, and he had never received systematic cultivation.
Achieving the combat strength of a conventional marquis under such conditions was fully enough to prove Li Che's terrifying talent in the origin laws.
By kowtowing into the seat of a universe master, his early safety and treasures could be guaranteed...
Li Che never doubted his talent. With the golden finger assisting, no matter which major faction he joined, he could rise rapidly.
What he truly needed, in fact, were the treasures and inheritances brought by a powerful teacher-such as one or two supreme treasures in the early stage, or special life information that Li Che could not yet touch at the current stage, both of which could help him spare a lot of trouble.
(Note: Regarding the exact grievance between Hu Yanbo and Demon Hand King, I rummaged through the original work for a long time and couldn't find it. Anyone with information on this is welcome to remind me. Additionally, if Hu Yanbo doesn't die, his future path will most likely be to enslave that Zerg Queen; but with Hu Yanbo's ability and money-making capacity, in all likelihood that Zerg Queen would die of old age before becoming undying.)
