When Zhang Junbao left his residence, Ebonwood Marquis was already waiting outside the door. At this moment, Ebonwood Marquis was less like someone ordered to protect Zhang Junbao's Marquis Immortal and more like an elegant butler, taking care of everything for Zhang Junbao.
Ever since meeting with the Youmo Universe Country Lord, Ebonwood Marquis has been convinced that as long as Zhang Junbao doesn't perish, he will inevitably become a super strong person. He might as well take this opportunity to get closer to him; once such a super genius rises, he will surely be able to easily surpass him, Ebonwood Marquis.
"Your Highness, the trial is ready. Please follow me."
Led by Ebonwood Marquis, Zhang Junbao arrived at a very solemn manor.
"Your Highness, this manor is called the Judgment Sanctuary, the highest-level place of judgment in the entire Youmo Universe Country."
The manor is surrounded by a powerful spacetime protection technique, which not only prevents external attacks but also prevents powerful individuals inside from breaking out.
"Even Universe Venerable cannot breach this place without authorization from the Virtual Universe Company."
Zhang Junbao nodded. As the highest place of judgment in the Universe Country, it was understandable that it could prevent attacks from the Universe Venerable, because this place represented the highest ruling position of the Virtual Universe Company in the Universe Country, which absolutely could not be violated.
As soon as Zhang Junbao stepped inside, he sensed powerful auras; there were over a thousand Immortal God alone.
These Immortal God, some of whom stood on either side, exerted an invisible pressure comparable to a galaxy-level energy storm, suppressing the other Immortal around them and forcing them to stand obediently on both sides, unable to move rashly.
Zhang Junbao strolled inside as if taking a leisurely walk.
"Your Highness, the 1,008 Immortal Army Lord on either side were dispatched from the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters to maintain order during this trial."
"A mere thousand or so Immortal Army Lord are probably not enough. This trial involves three King-level Immortal, not to mention their Venerable Teacher. If anything goes wrong, these thousand or so Immortal Army Lord won't even be enough to fill a tooth."
Zhang Junbao didn't try to hide his voice, and his words immediately drew the attention of all the Immortal Army Lord around him, their eyes filled with displeasure.
They are a professional enforcement team specially selected by the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, and they are only deployed when judging Immortal God. It is extremely rare for Immortal God to deploy a team of 1,008 enforcement officers at once, as seen this time.
But according to Zhang Junbao, they didn't even qualify to be cannon fodder.
"Your Highness sees things clearly. Although they are indeed unable to suppress this trial in terms of combat power, they represent the attitude of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. Taking action against them would mean declaring war on the company headquarters."
The company will not hesitate to send strong personnel to suppress them directly.
What's more, the leader of this enforcement team, the King Xiezhi, was also present this time!
The King Xiezhi is known within the company for his impartiality and incorruptibility. He is a being at the Peak King Rank, and his presence is sufficient to suppress any rebellion below the level of Universe Venerable.
"I see. With a powerful expert at the Peak King Rank suppressing it, it can indeed be guaranteed."
Zhang Junbao nodded. Although the Virtual Universe Company had entrusted him with the trial of the three giants, the actual enforcers were not Zhang Junbao, but the enforcement team.
Back in Chaos City, Zhang Junbao witnessed a battle between two Immortal God, who were eventually suppressed by the Chaos City Lord and escorted to the interstellar prison by the enforcement team.
The Immortal God in the enforcement team may not be the strongest in cultivation, but their combat power far surpasses that of ordinary Immortal God.
This trial was witnessed by almost all the high-ranking officials of the entire Youmo Universe Country. Any decision made by Zhang Junbao would cause a tremendous earthquake-like shock to the Youmo Universe Country.
However, with law enforcement suppressing the protests, no one dared to make any rash moves before the trial.
After passing through the enforcement team, we arrived at a large hall. Inside, a tall, imposing man with a single horn on his head and wearing Azure Battle Armor stood straight, like a spear piercing the void.
He carried a dragon spear on his back, the spearhead echoing the single horn on his head, giving him an undeniable presence just by standing there.
"I've met the ' King Xiezhi '!"
Zhang Junbao stepped forward and respectfully bowed.
Even without Ebonwood Marquis, Zhang Junbao knew that this man was the leader of the enforcement team, the King Xiezhi, Peak King Rank.
"Kindness!"
The King Xiezhi remained still and nodded slightly in return.
" Zhang Junbao, I am acting on orders from company headquarters to oversee this enforcement action and to execute the judgment after you have delivered your verdict."
Everything is subject to your judgment; I will not interfere.
"As the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, and also a victim of this incident, I hope you will not tarnish the Chaos City Lord's reputation."
After speaking, the King Xiezhi stopped talking and remained standing upright to one side of the hall.
The interior of this hall is extremely spacious, and there are over a hundred Marquis Immortal standing in various places. They are the Marquis powerhouses of the Youmo Universe Country.
Ordinary Immortal God are not qualified to enter the hall and can only watch from outside.
Upon seeing Zhang Junbao's arrival, all eyes turned to him, some with curiosity, some with thoughtful expressions, and some with a hint of malice.
Their expressions varied!
In the center of the hall sat three King-level Immortal, each bound by a golden halo around their chests, their cultivation sealed and imprisoned.
These three were none other than King Wanfu, Minister of the Commerce Department; Black Duck King, Minister of the Military Department; and Blood Wolf King, Minister of the Martial Department.
At this moment, King Wanfu looked dejected, Blood Wolf King had his head down and a gloomy face, as if he was thinking about something, while Black Duck King still had his neck sticking out, staring fiercely at Zhang Junbao.
It seemed that if Zhang Junbao dared to make any judgment that was unfavorable to him, he would rush up and kill Zhang Junbao.
Behind the three, there were six King-level Immortal!
Within this manor, three King-level Immortal are imprisoned, six King Rank guards are on guard, one thousand and eight Immortal Army Lord are suppressing them, and one Peak King Rank expert is enforcing the law.
Such a lineup is something even a single Universe Country might not be able to produce, demonstrating how much importance Virtual Universe Company attaches to this trial.
"Why go to such lengths to suppress the entire audience with a powerhouse comparable to a Universe Country just to judge three King-level Immortal?" Zhang Junbao glanced at Ebonwood Marquis beside him and asked, puzzled.
While the three King-level Immortal are indeed not insignificant figures, the lineup for this trial is far too large. If the Universe Venerable are excluded, the enforcement team dispatched by the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters is absolutely capable of overwhelming the combat power of a Universe Country.
"If it were anyone else, things wouldn't have come to this. This mission was personally assigned by the Chaos City Lord. Your Highness is a true genius, one that our Human Race hasn't produced in hundreds of millions of epochs, and is also the Chaos City Lord's disciple. He may become a pillar of our Human Race in the future!"
We must make everyone see how much the company values true genius!
"Your Highness, the crimes committed by the three of them are all listed above, and the final judgment is also below. How to judge them is entirely up to Your Highness."
Moreover, once a judgment is made, it is the final verdict, King Xiezhi will execute it without hesitation; no one can change it.
A virtual screen appeared in front of Ebonwood Marquis. With a wave of his hand, the screen was transferred to Zhang Junbao, where it was taken over by Zhang Junbao's intelligent assistant, Feitian.
" Zhang Junbao, the trial may begin. This trial is in your favor, so please take your seat!"
The King Xiezhi, standing to the side, pointed to the highest position in the hall, the throne symbolizing supreme power, and said expressionlessly,
At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Junbao.
This manor contains thousands of Immortal God, including several King-level Immortal, and even the King Xiezhi, a powerful figure at the Peak King Rank. Now, the King Xiezhi wants Zhang Junbao to sit in the main seat in front of everyone.
At the same time, all the Immortal God faintly emitted their auras, which permeated the entire manor. If it were an ordinary World Lord, he would have been terrified and wet himself by this enormous aura.
"Is this also part of the assessment?"
Those who cannot withstand this momentum are not qualified to sit in the main seat, and therefore are not qualified to judge the three King-level Immortal.
This trial is not only a test of Zhang Junbao's judgment, but also a test of his courage and composure.
"The aura of thousands of Immortal God is powerful, but it's still a bit weak compared to the Twenty-first Layer of the Illusion Sea."
Zhang Junbao said with a smile, then strode towards the throne.
Just as Zhang Junbao took a step forward, the surrounding aura and pressure suddenly intensified.
He stared intently and saw that three figures had suddenly appeared beside the throne. The aura and pressure emanating from these three people far surpassed that of thousands of Immortal God.
It was as if three truly invincible gods from ancient times were staring at Zhang Junbao as if he were an ant.
"Three Universe Venerable!"
" The Black Duck King's teacher, the Youmo Universe Country Lord; the King Wanfu's teacher, Venerable Jinyuan; the Blood Wolf King's teacher, Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable!"
" Zhang Junbao, the presence of the three of us, the Universe Venerable, is entirely in accordance with company regulations. As Universe Venerable, we are qualified to observe the trial of our disciples. If you can ascend the throne within ten minutes, the trial will officially begin."
If not, the company will send someone else to carry out the trial.
"We will only observe this trial from the sidelines and will not interfere. To the company, the three of us are nothing more than Venerable!"
I only hope you can see the true state of the Human Race and make a careful decision!
"The Youmo Country Lord said in a low voice."
He emphasized the words "the general trend of the Human Race," even though the three Venerable ' gazes were all focused on Zhang Junbao.
"Huh? There's this part too? It seems that if I can't withstand the pressure from all the powerful figures and ascend the throne, I'll even lose the right to judge the three of them!"
"Do you want me to see the bigger picture of the Human Race, or just the current situation?"
Zhang Junbao glanced at the King Xiezhi, and seeing that he did not deny it, he knew that this was indeed a rule of the Virtual Universe Company.
The throne was no more than a hundred meters away from him; under normal circumstances, Zhang Junbao could reach it in a flash.
But now, being watched by three Universe Venerable, coupled with the pressure of thousands of Immortal, Ordinary Immortal would have already been so frightened that their legs would have gone weak and they would have crawled on the ground.
Zhang Junbao's lips curled up into a smile. His body seemed to merge with the overwhelming power of the manor, and all the pressure was like a gentle spring breeze to him, completely unable to shake his heart.
"Though battered and bruised, it remains firm and strong, unmoved by winds from any direction!"
Although the unexpected turn of events puzzled Zhang Junbao, it was not enough to deter him; he even began reciting poetry.
"I think you've misunderstood something. I conquered the twenty-first island of the Illusion Sea, not because I can only conquer twenty-one, but because the Illusion Sea only has twenty-one islands!"
Zhang Junbao looked up and grinned at the three Universe Venerable. Then he continued walking towards the throne in the center of the hall without any hesitation.
Zhang Junbao's words startled the three Universe Venerable. What did he mean? Because the Illusion Sea only had twenty-one islands?
Only those at the Universe Venerable level are qualified to know the details of his journey through the Illusion Sea; ordinary Immortal God simply cannot know what happened.
The three Universe Venerable exchanged glances, seemingly trying to understand the true meaning behind Zhang Junbao's words. Although they had not personally witnessed Zhang Junbao's passage through the Illusion Sea, they knew that a genius at the Domain Lord Level who could pass through the Illusion Sea possessed a will and mental fortitude that were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
He opened the virtual screen in front of him, which listed the crimes of the three King-level Immortal. With each step he took, Zhang Junbao read out one of the crimes.
" King Wanfu, as the Minister of the Commerce Department of the Youmo Universe Country branch of the Virtual Universe Company, has two crimes:
Firstly, during his 2.15 million epochs in power, he abused his position to smuggle large quantities of prohibited items needed by the Zerg, such as Adamant Alloy, G-class Vibranium, Hao Lei Divine Stone, with a total value exceeding 784.3 billion Hunyuan Unit.
As the Minister of the Commerce Department, I am allowed an error of 10,000 Hunyuan Unit per era.
In the 215th era, there were a total of 21.5 billion Hunyuan Unit. You have exceeded 762.8 billion Hunyuan Unit. Furthermore, you have committed smuggling and aiding the enemy, a heinous crime!
Secondly, it condoned its subordinate forces to plunder the Human Race population, selling 350 billion Human Race as food for Zerg Warrior.
This made the battles for human soldiers on the border increasingly difficult, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and causing extremely serious harm.
According to company regulations, his crime deserves death!
All subordinates and involved personnel were executed and their divine bodies annihilated!
Zhang Junbao took a step forward and looked at King Wanfu, "Do you plead guilty?"
"You want to kill me? You can't kill me! At most, I was just negligent in my duties and failed in my inspection. My crime doesn't warrant death!" King Wanfu raised his head and cried out in terror.
"Not a crime deserving of death? Do you even believe such a lie yourself?" Zhang Junbao narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze making King Wanfu dare not meet his eyes.
At this moment, Venerable Jinyuan, the teacher of King Wanfu, exuded an even stronger aura.
At the bottom of the virtual screen in front of Zhang Junbao, there were options for judging King Wanfu: First: Acquittal; Second: Imprisonment in the Eighteenth Star Domain Prison for one epoch; Third: Imprisonment in the Eighteenth Star Domain Prison for one thousand epochs; Fourth: Imprisonment in the Eighteenth Star Domain Prison for one million epochs; Fifth: Death penalty, complete annihilation of his divine body and soul, and execution of all his subordinates and those involved!
In fact, all three trials that conferred the King-level Immortal included such an option.
"You...!" King Wanfu was terrified, barely suppressing his anger, and hurriedly transmitted his voice. "I'll give you three hundred billion Hunyuan Unit, let me go!"
Three hundred billion is already half of King Wanfu's wealth from smuggling over the years. At this point, he still wants to preserve his wealth, which is simply greedy.
"Offering bribes on the spot is an even more serious offense!"
