Luok Sita's idea was admirable, but the reality of the universe was extremely cruel. Although his determination to save his race was admirable, his misjudgment of the enemy's strength brought an unprecedented crisis to the entire race.
The Golden Crow Hall, which was in the distance, instantly appeared beside the Venerable Golden Crow and took him into the Golden Crow Hall.
The terrifying impact of Luok Sita's self-destruction blasted the Golden Crow Hall millions of kilometers away, but even so, it still couldn't affect the Venerable Golden Crow inside the Golden Crow Hall.
Inside the Void Whale Spaceship, Zhang Junbao was also rapidly moving away from the center of the explosion. However, his spaceship was directly blasted away by the shockwave generated by the explosion, and even Venerable Golden Crow didn't have time to take him into the Golden Crow Hall.
"Even for a newly ascended Universe Venerable Universe Venerable, the power of their self-destruction is a hundred times more terrifying than the full-force attack of King-level Immortal!"
At this moment, Zhang Junbao was inside the Void Whale Spaceship, protected by the Divine Fire Armor and his own Space-Time Domain, yet his body was still shattered into pieces.
Fortunately, the nine planets in his sea of consciousness were protected by the Heavenly Spirit Mind-Stabilizing Pearl, which prevented his soul from being shattered.
Even so, Zhang Junbao was still in great pain.
"My body is far too weak. The force of the explosion pierced through the Space-Time Domain, shattering the surrounding space-time completely."
No matter what, protect your head!
Zhang Junbao held a large quantity of life-giving potions in his hands. These were purchased from the Virtual Universe Company before he entered the secret realm and could quickly repair his body.
Zhang Junbao tilted his head back and drank the potion, and his body was quickly repaired. However, he was soon cut apart again by the fragments of spacetime.
"This won't do. It seems even Venerable Golden Crow couldn't protect me in time. I'll have to rely on myself!"
Space-Time Goblet!
A space with a radius of only about two meters was created, barely enveloping Zhang Junbao and bringing him into the distorted spacetime around his body.
The Space-Time Sorrow can distort the surrounding spacetime, forming a spacetime millstone to crush enemies. At this moment, Zhang Junbao could no longer care about anything else. He used the power of the Space-Time Goblet to wrap himself in it to resist the impact of the surrounding spacetime fragments. Only in this way could he ensure that his body could withstand the explosion until it ended.
Inside the Golden Crow Hall outside, Venerable Golden Crow's face was gloomy. He had not expected that Luok Sita would so resolutely self-destruct.
There is no Universe Master on Viska Star, so it's impossible for him to reverse time and resurrect. In other words, his self-destruction this time was a true death.
After cultivating for countless epochs, he finally reached the realm of Universe Venerable, a level of power even within the entire universe. Yet, Luok Sita self-destructed without the slightest hesitation.
The determination of Viska Star to return to the universe is so firm, it's just a pity they chose the wrong time and seriously underestimated the gap in strength between themselves and other forces in the universe.
"As Venerable, you were able to self-destruct decisively for the rise of your race. It's just a pity that your birth has already determined that becoming Venerable is the beginning of your death." Venerable Golden Crow was also shocked by Luok Sita's determination, but since the two were on different sides, they were destined to become enemies.
His defense of Viska Star for the Virtual Universe Company is also a fight for the continuation of his race.
The Venerable Golden Crow in the Golden Crow Hall suddenly noticed the Void Whale Spaceship that had been blasted away by the shockwave in the distance. Although Zhang Junbao's spaceship had merged with the Void Whale and was extremely fast, even capable of short-distance space travel, it still could not maintain flight in the face of such Venerable Level self-destruction.
"Huh? That's Zhang Junbao's spaceship. It was scattered by the intense explosion just now. I didn't expect to run into it again. Gui Yi's junior brother, we must save him!"
The Golden Crow Hall instantly transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, shooting towards the Void Whale Spaceship.
"Wait, what's that?!"
Suddenly, Venerable Golden Crow noticed that an object was moving even faster than his Golden Crow Hall, and it was also heading towards Zhang Junbao's spaceship.
"It's the unicorn horn on the Ancestral God Phantom! It's too late
The Venerable Golden Crow tried his best to activate the Golden Crow Hall, but the speed of the Ancestral God Lingxi was even faster. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the Void Whale and headed straight for Zhang Junbao.
"Damn it, that native Venerable of Viska Star actually wanted to kill Zhang Junbao even in his dying moments. The power of that unicorn horn is so terrifying, I'm afraid Zhang Junbao will have a hard time surviving!"
To evade my detection, he actually shrunk his horn to such an extent.
The Venerable Golden Crow tried to stop it, but by the time he realized it, it was too late.
Zhang Junbao, inside the Void Whale, was still struggling to maintain his domain when he suddenly felt it shatter completely.
A single horn, no bigger than a fist, pierced through his domain.
"Boom!"
Zhang Junbao felt as if something had pierced his head, and then he lost consciousness.
In the critical moment, the Exquisite Jade on Zhang Junbao's body once again emitted a seven-colored light, enveloping his entire body. And the Ancestral God Lingxi, upon encountering the light of the Exquisite Jade, actually merged into it completely.
Even so, the immense impact of the collision between the Ancestral God Lingxi and the Exquisite Jade nearly shattered Zhang Junbao's soul.
At this moment, within Zhang Junbao's body, the power of the Soul Origin Golden Fruit continued to strengthen his soul, while the Exquisite Jade and the Ancestral God Lingxi seemed to have reached a certain balance, and the Universe Laws surrounding Zhang Junbao's body also quietly operated while he was unconscious.
"Huh? What's going on? Where's that horn?"
The figure of Venerable Golden Crow appeared inside the Void Whale Spaceship. Looking at the large hole in the spaceship, Venerable Golden Crow found it hard to believe that Zhang Junbao was still alive.
"Although his soul is extremely weak, he is not dead yet. Could it be that the Chaos City Lord left him some life-saving treasure that protected him at the critical moment?"
"His soul was undetectable? It seems the treasure left behind by the Chaos City Lord truly saved his life. Fortunately, otherwise, even with my protection, the Chaos City Lord's disciple would still have been killed. Even I would likely have incurred the Chaos City Lord's wrath!"
Thinking of the Chaos City Lord, Venerable Golden Crow still felt a lingering fear. The Chaos City Lord was decisive and ruthless. If his disciple had been killed in front of me, he would probably be held responsible and might even be thoroughly investigated.
As the disciple of the person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company, if Venerable Golden Crow had not protected Zhang Junbao, many people would probably have suspected that he was colluding with the Alien Race and deliberately causing Zhang Junbao's death.
Every disciple of the Chaos City Lord is a top genius among the Human Race in the universe. Zhang Junbao's current talent is already on par with Kedi of Kedi back then, who died in a conspiracy by the Alien Race.
If Zhang Junbao had met with misfortune on his first cosmic trial, would the Chaos City Lord have so easily let the Venerable Golden Crow off the hook?
Thinking of this, Venerable Golden Crow immediately took Zhang Junbao back to the Golden Crow Hall to protect him.
" Mingyue, keep a close eye on Zhang Junbao. He's currently unconscious. Notify me immediately when he wakes up."
"From this moment forward, suspend all missions to Viska Star. Inform the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters of this matter and request that Viska Star be designated as Desperate Level Secret Realm."
"Yes, Your Venerable!"
"The other Golden Crow Hall guardians, come with me to Viska Star! It's time to fulfill our agreement!"
After making all the arrangements, Venerable Golden Crow, along with the remaining thirty-two Immortal Level guardians, descended upon Viska Star with overwhelming force.
Although Luok Sita, the leader, has already self-destructed, the original agreement between the Ancestral God Hall and the Virtual Universe Company has been completely broken. Now, it is time for the Virtual Universe Company to suppress Viska Star once again.
Inside the Ancestral God Tomb, the Grand Elder suddenly felt dozens of terrifying pressures descending upon him.
"Elder, what should we do? The powerful figures from the Golden Crow Hall have descended upon Viska Star!"
The two remaining elders of the Ancestral God Hall asked with expressions of terror on their faces.
They vividly remember how powerful Luok Sita was when he came to the Ancestral God Tomb to seize the Ancestral God Lingxi. Yet, this very being, after breaking through to become Universe Venerable, was actually forced to self-destruct by the Venerable Golden Crow.
The terrifying strength of the Golden Crow Hall is something that the experts on Viska Star simply cannot contend with.
"Now we can only take it one step at a time. Luok Sita has exhausted all of Viska Star's resources, but in the end, he couldn't even scratch the Golden Crow Hall."
If we, Viska Star, wish to rise, we must obey the will of our Ancestral God and continue to lie low. Those who dare to act rashly will meet their end today.
The elder said with a weary expression.
Now, he had no power to resist at all. He could sense that any of the powerful figures who had descended from outside were no less capable than the elders in the Ancestral God Hall.
The aura of the Venerable Golden Crow at the head of the group filled him with deep despair and fear.
"Don't even think about revenge, you absolutely must not resist!" the elder said weakly.
The other two elders, sensing the aura emanating from outside, also lowered their heads, helpless. The strength of the extraterrestrial beings in the universe far exceeded their imagination.
Anyone who dares to resist Viska Star face certain destruction.
"Guardians of the Ancestral God Tomb, come out! The agreement you made with my Virtual Universe Company back then has been completely broken. It's time to accept your punishment!" Venerable Golden Crow said expressionlessly.
"Great Venerable Golden Crow, Viska Star... willingly... accepts punishment..."
The First Elder and the other two elders prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to offer the slightest resistance.
The Grand Elder's voice trembled as he uttered the promise, but this single answer would bury everything that Viska Star had accumulated over billions of years.
"Very well, according to the agreement from back then:"
Hand over 90% of your wealth!
Hand over the Ancestral God Inheritance Secret Technique!
Hand over ten million top-tier Universe Level geniuses!
"Cleave half the population of Viska Star!"
Every condition uttered by Venerable Golden Crow was like a nail, piercing deep into the heart of the Grand Elder. After this battle, Viska Star would be plunged into the greatest crisis in its history, comparable to the time when the Ancestral God perished.
However, in order to allow Human Race to catch their breath, the Grand Elder had no choice but to agree to all the terms, after all, this was the price the Virtual Universe Company had paid for leaving them a piece of land to survive.
"... yes!"
In the universe, every impulse comes with a price. Luok Sita's impulse destroyed everything on Viska Star.
Even if the Viska Star People were completely wiped out, Venerable Golden Crow would not feel the slightest pity. Because what he needed to protect was the entire Human Race in the universe. If the Human Race in the universe was not strong enough, when Alien Race invaded, even conditions like those on Viska Star would be nothing but a pipe dream.
There is no right or wrong; everyone is trying to protect their own race. No one is inherently more noble than another; only the strong survive to the end.
The pressures and crises faced by the Human Race in the universe do not allow the Virtual Universe Company to show any mercy to other races.
The universe is merciless!
