The Venerable Guiyi overpowered the three Alien Race Universe Overlord, leaving Venerable Tianhua with only one forepaw. The Demon Lord Luan Shen stormed into the battlefield, pursuing the three Alien Race Universe Overlord all the way to the Demon Race Territory through the Divine Kingdom Passage they had fled. Although the spacetime coordinate information was ultimately destroyed by the Lord of Sky Wolf, the Lord of Sky Wolf suffered a hidden loss in their first clash of Divine Power.
Moreover, from the tone of the Demon Lord Luan Shen, the Lord of Sky Wolf also sensed that this newly ascended Universe Master of humanity was extremely domineering and did not seem like a Universe Master with a race at all.
Completely without any worries, they were extremely domineering, even going so far as to say things like blocking the entrance to the Demon Race's territory. Under normal circumstances, only those solitary Universe Master, unrestrained and desperate, would choose such an almost rogue approach.
After intimidating the Lord of Sky Wolf, the Demon Lord Luan Shen returned to the Outer Domain Battlefield, his domineering aura instantly sweeping across the entire Outer Domain Battlefield.
"Listen up, everyone in the Outer Domain Battlefield! The Human Race, the Demon Race, the Zerg, and the Machine Race have reached an agreement that any powerhouse above the Universe Venerable is allowed to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield."
The Demon Race, Zerg, and Machine Race have broken the agreement today and will be punished.
Venerable Guiyi severed one of the Demon Race's Venerable Tianhua's forepaws, which will hang forever outside the human Barracks Base. Any Alien Race that wants to break the rules should take a look at this forepaw before they act next time!
The three Venerable Tianhua of the Demon Race, Venerable Yushan of the Zerg, and Venerable Yingchi the Machine Race broke their agreement, and I destroyed half of their divine bodies. Anyone who violates this agreement again will be killed!
Furthermore, because the high-ranking members of your three races broke the agreement, one-tenth of all the powerful figures in the Outer Domain Battlefield will be annihilated.
"Die!"
The Divine Power of the Demon Lord Luan Shen instantly covered the entire Ninth Battlefield. The divine bodies of many powerful beings from the three races suddenly collapsed, and their treasures were scattered all over the ground, turning it into a carnival for all the powerful beings in the Outer Domain Battlefield.
"Humans, you've gone too far!"
Instantly, at the edge of the Outer Domain Battlefield, three powerful auras rose up and pressed down on the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
"Hahaha... You want to start a full-scale war against Human Race? What are you going to do with just a few of you?"
Since we've agreed on the specifications, then stick to them, or don't blame me for being impolite.
"If you want to break the rules of the Outer Domain Battlefield, let the Universe Venerable in now, and let's see how many of them survive!"
The Demon Lord Luan Shen completely disregarded the three races' Universe Master. Back when he followed the Original Ancestor in conquering the universe, what could the people of the three races dare to say?
If the Original Ancestor hadn't been suppressed by the Universe Origin, would the powerful beings of the three races have dared to so recklessly send out Universe Overlord to hunt down Zhang Junbao?
"You are the Universe Master, humankind? Who exactly are you? Humanity is going to war with my three races. Are you ready?"
The roar of the Lord of Sky Wolf echoed throughout the entire Outer Domain Battlefield.
"What do I care about tribal warfare!"
Sky Wolf, if you've got the guts, come over here right now and I'll skin you alive! If you're too scared to come, then you'd better stay put!
"Hmph, the reason humanity is so powerful is because of the Virtual Universe! Who among the billions of races in the universe doesn't know that?" the Lord of Sky Wolf boomed. "How I conduct myself is none of your business!"
Throughout the universe, countless powerful beings have been drawn to the Outer Domain Battlefield, focusing their attention on it.
The conflict between the three individuals and the three major races is known throughout the universe. Now, the three major races have broken the rules by sending Universe Venerable into the Outer Domain Battlefield to kill Zhang Junbao.
Not only did they fail to accomplish their goal, but they were also punished by an unknown Universe Master, who annihilated most of their divine bodies.
Demon Lord Luan Shen this matter public, how could other powerful beings in the universe who have grudges against the three Universe Overlord let go of this good opportunity for revenge?
Not only that, the Demon Lord Luan Shen also annihilated 10% of the other powerful members of the three races in the Outer Domain Battlefield. Such punishment was extremely severe.
Anyone could see that the human powerhouses were determined to protect Zhang Junbao, unlike when Kedi fell, when the Chaos City Lord could only hold back for the sake of the race.
The overwhelming power of the Demon Lord Luan Shen left the other three races' Universe Master somewhat bewildered. The newly ascended human Universe Master was surprisingly unyielding, immediately declaring his intention to skin the Lord of Sky Wolf alive.
The key point is that the Lord of Sky Wolf did not retaliate; he backed down!
The other two races' Universe Master all looked towards the Lord of Sky Wolf, guessing that he had likely not gained the upper hand in the previous clash. Under these circumstances, who would be the first to attack the Demon Lord Luan Shen Lord of Sky Wolf?
What if this person truly is a powerhouse comparable to the Chaos City Lord? If I'm not careful, I might get injured instead, making myself a laughingstock. The Lord of Sky Wolf is inherently arrogant, yet even he hasn't made a move; why would anyone else?
"A bunch of useless trash, Junbao, let's go!"
Let's see who dares to come!
With a wave of his hand, the Demon Lord Luan Shen unleashed his Divine Power, carrying Zhang Junbao, the True Yan King, and Venerable Guiyi back to the Human Territory.
"This... this is true dominance! With a mere gesture, he annihilated billions of powerful beings, and even made the Universe Master of the three major races dare not make a move!"
"This is the Universe Master of my Human Race! Tremble, Alien Race!" Countless human powerhouses in the Outer Domain Battlefield were extremely excited upon seeing this outcome.
Humanity is frequently besieged by the powerful members of the three major races in the Outer Domain Battlefield, putting them at a disadvantage. However, given the circumstances, the human warriors can only endure it.
The current Demon Lord Luan Shen's domineering slaughter of 10% of the three races' powerhouses has caused countless human powerhouses to roar wildly with excitement.
Throughout the entire Outer Domain Battlefield, there were countless powerful figures from the three major races, with hundreds of thousands of King Rank experts alone. With a single move, the Demon Lord Luan Shen annihilated tens of thousands of Alien Race King Rank, instantly changing the situation on the Ninth Battlefield.
The Universe Master teleported over a million light-years in a single Teleportation, and when he reappeared, everyone had returned to the spacetime tunnel outside the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.
This is the passage leading to the Chaos City of the Initial Universe.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen appeared with Zhang Junbao and two others, stepping into the time tunnel.
"Not bad, annihilating over a thousand King Rank in one move, I still have the style of my youth!" The Demon Lord Luan Shen looked at Zhang Junbao and laughed.
"Haha, it's impressive, but I'll have to be extra careful when I'm training in the universe. Right now, I've practically been killed by every major race in the universe, and I'm probably number one on their ultimate kill list." Zhang Junbao replied with a laugh.
The two were used to being equals Demon Lord Luan Shen didn't act like Universe Master in front of Zhang Junbao, and Zhang Junbao didn't put on airs either. They were not only fellow disciples but also close friends despite their age difference, so they had no burdens when they talked.
However, Venerable Guiyi and True Yan King, who were standing to the side, were quite frightened.
The Universe Master Venerable Guiyi was most familiar with was the Chaos City Lord, but the Chaos City Lord was usually quite serious, unlike the Demon Lord Luan Shen who was so casual.
Although he knew that Zhang Junbao had a good relationship with the Demon Lord Luan Shen, the fact that they were so close, as if they were just ordinary friends, still shocked Venerable Guiyi.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen is a powerful being on par with his teacher, the Chaos City Lord.
Despite being the Universe Overlord, Venerable Guiyi still needs to maintain sufficient respect before the true Universe Master.
True Yan King dared not move an inch.
Zhang Junbao, Venerable Guiyi, and the Demon Lord Luan Shen can all be said to be of the same lineage Original Ancestor, but True Yan King has little to do with them. In terms of strength, apart from Zhang Junbao, he is the weakest.
"This is our newly crowned Universe Master, so domineering and awe-inspiring, commanding the Universe Master of the three major races to refrain from making a move. When will I ever achieve that!"
Originally, True Yan King thought he was an Invincible King, and even if he wasn't considered a top expert in the universe, he was still quite powerful.
But before Venerable Guiyi and the Demon Lord Luan Shen, he was nothing. Either of them could easily crush him.
Zhang Junbao spends all his time with them; it's no wonder his strength improves so quickly.
"The Cosmic Kill Order is nothing special. I was on it myself back then, and I'm still fine. As long as you're in Chaos City, no one can touch you."
Zhang Junbao then remembered that the Demon Lord Luan Shen had never been a peaceful person. Unlike the Chaos City Lord, he was not steady and composed. Instead, he displayed the arrogance and wildness of a powerful figure.
He roamed countless cosmic territories, and being hunted down by various races was commonplace for him.
As the Demon Lord Luan Shen said, so what?
If you have enough strength, the so-called "Universal Kill Order" is nothing but a joke.
"This time I'll be cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City for a while. They won't be able to kill me then. But won't it provoke them to attack our Human Race since you wiped out ten percent of the powerful members of the three major races?"
"They wouldn't. The Universe Master of each race are all beings who have lived for billions of years. Why would they easily act without personal gain? Didn't you see that even when I called the Lord of Sky Wolf a grandson, he didn't make a move?"
On the one hand, he wasn't confident he could defeat me; on the other hand, there wasn't enough incentive for him to make a move.
"To wage war against humanity just because of personal pride and impulse? If they're really that stupid, then it's humanity's good fortune." The Demon Lord Luan Shen said disdainfully.
Zhang Junbao nodded. None of the Universe Master were easy to deal with. Even the seemingly arrogant Demon Lord Luan Shen was actually quite shrewd.
His willingness to take action represents an attitude of the Human Race.
If a human genius is surrounded and killed, and no powerful figure comes to his rescue, then other races will probably start to consider whether to annihilate the Human Race.
The more assertive humans appear, the less likely other races are to take action.
The power struggle between different ethnic groups is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"We've arrived at Chaos City. Now you can focus on your cultivation."
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Their conversation had been completely obscured by the Demon Lord Luan Shen, Venerable Guiyi and True Yan King were unaware of it.
"Your name is True Yan King?"
"Yes!"
True Yan King answered respectfully, and was about to prostrate himself on the ground when Zhang Junbao stopped him.
"I don't like kowtowers. Don't do things like crawling and kneeling in front of me."
You're good; you still have some backbone, unlike others who only think about giving in all the time.
"If you stay a tortoise for too long, you'll really get beaten up every day."
"You may call me the Demon Lord Luan Shen. You are already Invincible King, not far from becoming Universe Venerable. You will hear my name sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if you find out sooner."
"You're still a bit lacking in your cultivation of the Path of the Beast God. The Path I cultivate is similar to the Path of the Beast God. Here's some of my insights; since you find them agreeable, I'll give them to you."
The Demon Lord Luan Shen flicked out a World Ring from his hand, containing his insights into cultivation.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen cultivates the fusion of the Eight Great Fundamental Laws, making him essentially a combination of the Eight Beast Gods. Therefore, he is naturally familiar with the Path of the Beast God.
"Thank you Demon Lord Luan Shen!"
True Yan King was incredibly excited. The Law Comprehension of the Universe Master were absolutely comparable to the level of a supreme Supreme Treasure.
He went to rescue Zhang Junbao at Luo Feng's request, but unexpectedly, he also formed a bond with the Demon Lord Luan Shen. This was definitely the greatest opportunity that the True Yan King had ever had in billions of years.
Ever since he took Luo Feng as his disciple, True Yan King felt that opportunities kept falling from the sky.
While sitting in the city, opportunity knocks from the sky!
" Demon Lord Luan Shen, is giving me just some cultivation insights a bit too little? If it weren't for True Yan King arriving in time, I would be dead."
I've acquired some good stuff this time, which might be useful to you. How about you take True Yan King as your disciple?
Only Zhang Junbao would dare to say such a thing. He gave him a cultivation insight that was comparable to Supreme Treasure, but he still felt it wasn't enough. He even suggested that the Demon Lord Luan Shen take the True Yan King as his disciple.
True Yan King was greatly shocked; he had never even dared to consider Zhang Junbao's suggestion.
Since becoming Invincible King, True Yan King has not sought apprenticeship with any other powerful figures.
His goal was to become Universe Venerable, someone an ordinary Universe Venerable wouldn't even be qualified to take him as a disciple. But how could the Universe Master be someone that True Yan King could meet so easily?
When Luo Feng was accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord, many people were envious. Now, to have a Universe Master comparable to the Chaos City Lord accept him, True Yan King, as a disciple, True Yan King was more than willing.
True Yan King secretly raised his eyes and saw a strange look on the face of the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
He and Zhang Junbao were fellow disciples, Luo Feng was a disciple of True Yan King. If he were to take True Yan King as his disciple as well, wouldn't Luo Feng have to call Zhang Junbao his grand-uncle in the future?
The two, who were originally like brothers, had Luo Feng seniority gradually decreasing.
"Fine, Zhen Yan's temperament suits my taste, and I've saved you once again."
" Zhen Yan, Junbao suggested that I take you as my disciple, and I agreed. Are you willing?" said the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
"This..." True Yan King's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
When did the Universe Master become so casual in accepting disciples? Or is it that Zhang Junbao's status in the eyes of the Demon Lord Luan Shen is actually this high?
How could someone who isn't an absolute and close friend possibly listen to others' advice and casually accept disciples? Besides, the Demon Lord Luan Shen is the Universe Master, a powerful being comparable to the number one figure in the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Lord.
True Yan King felt that happiness had come too quickly. He had only saved Zhang Junbao once, but it felt like he had saved the entire universe.
When the Universe Master takes on disciples, he always selects young geniuses with exceptional talent. Geniuses like Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng, who possessed formidable combat power in less than an era, are the Universe Master's first choice.
Although True Yan King is also a genius, he has not yet met the requirements of Universe Master.
"When I take on disciples, temperament comes first, talent second. If you're like Gui Yi, someone who can't even fart after three punches, I won't bother with you!"
Venerable Guiyi was caught in the crossfire and could only smile wryly, daring not to refute. He knew that the Demon Lord Luan Shen and the Chaos City Lord were having a conflict, but he thought it was more like a joke between fellow disciples and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Although Venerable Guiyi wanted to say that he also had his domineering moments, after following the Chaos City Lord for a long time, he had also learned the Chaos City Lord's composure and was indeed not as irritable as True Yan King.
"Disciple Zhen Yan greets Master!" True Yan King never expected that his trip would earn him a Universe Master a teacher.
What is a cosmic opportunity? This is a true opportunity. I wouldn't trade it for even a Supreme Treasure, even from a Universe Master!
"Hmm, not bad."
"You cultivate the Path of the Beast God, but you haven't comprehended the Heart of the Beast God. This is why your strength has been stuck at the Invincible King, with no hope of breaking through."
"Without the Beast God Inheritance Token, the chances of becoming Universe Venerable by inheriting the Beast God Inheritance are extremely slim."
"I have been searching for the Beast God Inheritance Token for nearly a hundred million years, but unfortunately, I still have no luck," True Yan King smile. He also knew that without the Beast God Inheritance Token, it was almost impossible for him to become Universe Venerable through his own arduous cultivation.
" The Inheritance Token is one aspect, but another is to start with the Heart of the Beast God. You have a violent nature and should be unruly, roaming the universe freely. This way, you have a better chance of comprehending the Heart of the Beast God."
But you chose to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City. Have you ever seen a Beast God who would hide away in one place to cultivate?
The Beast God is the embodiment of the Universe's Origin of Laws, free and unrestrained. The ultimate bottleneck in the Path of the Beast God Heart of the Beast God. Although you are Immortal, your understanding of the Heart of the Beast God Path of the Beast God to progress rapidly...
Upon returning to the Chaos City Lord, the Demon Lord Luan Shen, along with the True Yan King, explained the Path of the Beast God to him, while Zhang Junbao also returned to his residence.
PS: True Yan King is one of the few supporting characters in Devouring with a strong presence. He greatly helped Luo Feng's growth, but unfortunately, he disappeared after becoming Universe Venerable.
Making him become an apprentice here is like giving him a cheat code.
