When Lu Qingshan broke through to the Universe Venerable, his Xue You Clone wandered the universe for hundreds of years.
One of them was Lanfeng Universe Country.
Moreover, it was deep within the Eye of the Abyss Black Hole that he found that mysterious opportunity, successfully breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm. Afterwards, he took the core of the Eye of the Abyss Black Hole, causing this colossal Black Hole, existing in the ancient times of the Primal Universe, to vanish...
The void area where Venerable Zhen Yan and Shi Huo Venerable fought was the original location of the Eye of the Abyss.
It has to be said that this is quite a coincidence.
Lu Qingshan emerged from the Cosmic Passage the Initial Universe.
Before heading to the Lanfeng Universe Country, he first went to the Initial Universe and exchanged for a Peak Supreme Treasure- level weapon, War Blade, in the Human Race Treasury.
After all, Supreme Treasure Point don't accrue interest if they stay in your account; only by exchanging them for treasures can you improve your combat power.
Now that he has created an ultimate attack technique at the level of Universe Master, the Leiying Blade he used before is no longer sufficient. Peak Attack Supreme Treasure...
This is a treasure that only a powerful Universe Master is qualified to use; even the Lord of Sky Wolf has never possessed it.
After exchanging for it, Lu Qingshan immediately began to study the secret runes of the Supreme Treasure within, and then his Divine Kingdom Teleportation him to the Lanfeng Universe Country.
The place where Lu Qingshan placed the Divine Kingdom's token was an extremely remote star region of the Lanfeng Universe Country.
Lu Qingshan had initially thought the place was deserted, but to his surprise, as soon as he was teleported over, his detector showed more than a dozen figures. These people were quite powerful, each at the World Lord Level, and they were gathered on a remote, uninhabited planet.
The clear sound reached Lu Qingshan's ears.
"That damned Demon Heart King is ruthless! He even killed Marquis Cangyin!"
"We originally thought that Marquis Cangyin had a strong background and could withstand this storm, but we didn't expect him to be the first to fall... He's probably being used as a warning to others. What do you all think we should do now?"
"What else can we do? Banning the slave trade is the idea of Lanfeng Country Leader, and the Demon Heart King is a tool in the Lanfeng Country Leader's hand. Although we don't know why he's so enthusiastic, it's clear... if we don't do as he asks, our fate will be even worse than that of Marquis Cangyin." "Let's stop. Anyway, everyone has made enough money... Even if we make more money, it's meaningless if we don't live to spend it."
"Sigh, forget it... We're not even Immortal, we have no power to stop this trend. Let's just hand over the slaves and save our own lives..." "Fortunately, Lanfeng Country Leader's order is not to pursue the past, otherwise we would have had to flee to other Universe Country. I heard that many of the Universe Country controlled by the Virtual Universe Company seem to have banned the slave trade. Does anyone know why? Could it be that the offspring of some important figure was killed by the slave trade?"
"I actually know that. It's because of Myriad Laws Venerable... Myriad Laws Venerable is a top figure in the Virtual Universe Company. I've heard that he deeply hates the slave trade, so the high and mighty Universe Country Lord of the Virtual Universe Company naturally banned the slave trade in their Universe Country in order to curry favor with Myriad Laws Venerable..."
"So that's how it is... This Myriad Laws Venerable is truly terrifying. His slightest whim was enough to cause rivers of blood to flow in our Lanfeng Universe Country, and to destroy the livelihoods of all of us slave traders."
"There's nothing we can do but go with the flow. However, I heard that the slave trade ban only applies to the sale of humans, not to Demon Race... We're very close to the Demon Race here, so perhaps we can bring Demon Race over and control them using Slave Chip... If the slave trade is completely banned, these Demon Race slaves might become a luxury item."
"Capturing Demon Race slaves? That's far too risky."
"Where there's no risk, there's no profit. I think this plan is feasible. We can discuss it together. Although our business is gone, the channels are still there... If we can rebuild the business, perhaps we can even sell to other Universe Country. After all, no matter how obedient a worker is, they can't be as useful as an absolutely loyal slave."
"It turns out they were a group of slave traders, driven to desperation by the policy prohibiting the slave trade, and they were discussing countermeasures together."
Lu Qingshan connects to the Virtual Universe.
He instantly searched through all the information about the Lanfeng Universe Country...
Six months ago, the Lanfeng Universe Country began to ban the slave trade, with the Demon Heart King serving as the commander-in-chief of the ban.
"Such results in just six months, forcing a group of slave owners to consider handing over the slaves they've been selling. This Demon Heart King certainly has some tricks up his sleeve."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, showing a greater degree of approval for the Demon Heart King.
The Demon Heart King was initially manipulated into injuring his disciple, Bulu, but the Demon King's subsequent remedial measures were quite appropriate.
Not only did they provide huge compensation, but they also personally visited to apologize, resolving the feud. They also played a significant role in the process of the Golden Billow Universe Country banning the slave trade, first eliminating it in the Barnes Starfield.
The Demon Heart King was a smart man, Lu Qingshan naturally knew why the other party was putting in so much effort this time.
Nature has been working towards this very moment.
Lu Qingshan paid no attention to these petty thoughts... Those in power never dislike flatterers, only those who do nothing. Being able to recognize one's own abilities and having the capacity to get things done is indeed a valuable asset... Perhaps in the future, when other Universe Country prohibit the slave trade, he could be used to assist Black Mist King and King Anju.
Black Mist King and King Anju were the first two Peak King to pledge allegiance to Lu Qingshan. Although they were powerful and loyal, they were clearly not as ruthless and decisive as Demon Heart King.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the gathering place of the slave traders, then ignored them and looked away...
He wouldn't care if these people realized their mistake and returned to the right path... If they had just discussed transferring the slaves or killing them as a form of resistance, he wouldn't have minded; he Divine General.
Lanfeng Universe Country, Titan Planet.
The Demon Heart King, clad in black battle armor, withdrew his gaze from a tall, Immortal God.
I don't know why, but I felt a sense of joy.
The Demon Heart Secret Canon he cultivated was an extremely powerful technique, making him far more sensitive to danger than other Immortal God. But at this moment, it was clearly a good thing...
"Could it be that Venerable Zhen Yan has won?"
Although he had been fighting on the streets for the past six months, working tirelessly to ban the slave trade for the Lanfeng Universe Country, he hadn't forgotten that he had bet 20 billion Hunyuan Unit on the Venerable Zhen Yan's victory. If he bet correctly, that would be over 80 billion Hunyuan Unit, making him, the Demon Heart King, and the Barnes Family rich overnight! "The battle is not yet over..."
The Demon Heart King glanced at the messages in the chat group and was slightly disappointed.
Although he did not witness the duel firsthand, he knew that the outcome of the fight had exceeded many people's expectations.
Venerable Zhen Yan, clearly considered the weaker party, unexpectedly gained the upper hand in this battle, overwhelming Shi Huo Venerable... Fortunately, Shi Huo Venerable produced a Domain Supreme Treasure, stabilizing the situation and leading to a stalemate. This outcome was extremely favorable for Demon Heart King, and many in the group who had bet on Shi Huo Venerable were already cursing loudly. Of course, they didn't dare curse Shi Huo Venerable; they were cursing themselves for being stupid!
" Qingtian Army Lord, I'm giving you one last chance because you're a genius... and you rendered meritorious service in the last conflict with the Demon Race race... Release all the slaves you've hidden in the Divine Kingdom... and hand me your letter of repentance, and I'll spare your life. You know... I rarely show mercy!"
"Lord Demon Heart King, I..." The massive Titan tried to explain, but was intimidated by the Demon Heart King's icy gaze.
"No place in the Virtual Universe can escape my eyes. Don't think that I don't know those slaves are in the Divine Kingdom!" The Demon Heart King was in a good mood and unusually said more.
" Demon Heart King, I, Mingyou... will hand over all the slaves to you in half a day."
The Qingtian Army Lord took a deep breath, not daring to say anything more... He knew perfectly well what had happened to Marquis Cangyin.
Congratulations, you made the right choice.
The Demon Heart King nodded slightly, then turned and left.
At coordinates syzy0231, when Lu Qingshan arrived, the battle was still ongoing.
Millions of kilometers were covered by a blanket of yellow sand, and countless grains of sand crashed against the Supreme Treasure Armor worn by Venerable Zhen Yan.
Although it couldn't cause any harm to Venerable Zhen Yan, it still somewhat restricted his movements.
Within this domain, Shi Huo Venerable's movements remained unaffected, and he launched repeated sneak attacks, but all of them were blocked by Venerable Zhen Yan, proving to have no effect whatsoever.
"The teacher is here!"
Venerable Zhen Yan sensed a familiar aura approaching, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He had waited a long time, knowing that his teacher was coming, which was why he hadn't gone all out, allowing Shi Huo Venerable to hold out until now.
" Shi Huo! Give up. Even if I stand still, you can't hurt me. I thought you were so confident, but it turns out you've got your hands on a Domain Supreme Treasure!"
The voice of Venerable Zhen Yan resounded in all directions.
The Shi Huo Venerable's face had turned a purplish-brown with gloom. For this battle, besides his own offensive Supreme Treasure, he had also borrowed an Ordinary Domain Supreme Treasure and an Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor from his senior brother. In theory, he should have been perfectly protected. If the Venerable Zhen Yan hadn't used his Palace Supreme Treasure to escape, he would have been easily crushed. However, unexpectedly...
Before he used this Domain Supreme Treasure, he was actually suppressed by Venerable Zhen Yan. Although the opponent's secret techniques were not good, his foundation was terrifyingly deep... and his Supreme Treasure was in no way inferior to his.
Even with the use of this domain treasure, he only gained a slight advantage and was unable to shake Venerable Zhen Yan in the slightest.
The Shi Huo Venerable said with a gloomy face, " Zhen Yan... Although I can't do anything to you, what can you do to me? I didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly. It seems your teacher has provided you with a lot of resources!"
"Haha, my teacher has naturally provided me with many treasures. If you are envious, you can also become my teacher's disciple. However, my teacher doesn't care about a disciple's aptitude; what matters most is their character. I'm afraid you, Shi Huo, will have a hard time passing that test."
Venerable Zhen Yan laughed heartily.
Then a pale blue wave appeared from his divine body, creating a space for free movement within the yellow sand domain. "You think you're the only one with Domain Supreme Treasure?" Venerable Zhen Yan's gaze sharpened, and a massive divine power erupted from his body, instantly expanding the pale blue space... instantly occupying more than half of the yellow sand space.
"How is that possible? You also have Domain Supreme Treasure?!"
The Shi Huo Venerable was utterly shocked... He had only temporarily suppressed the Venerable Zhen Yan by relying on his Domain Supreme Treasure, but he hadn't expected the Venerable Zhen Yan to also bring out a treasure of the same level... That's bad...
As expected.
After the restraints on his body disappeared, the Venerable Zhen Yan's divine body suddenly grew larger and seemed to become violent. On his body, an even larger ape-man phantom slowly condensed.
Then, he simply raised his hand.
Then he thrust out with the stick.
There were no fancy moves, no dazzling lights. It was just the simplest and most direct thrust.
But this single stab silenced the entire starry sky.
"Boom!!!"
A Golden Light burst forth from the tip of the staff.
The Golden Light started as a single wisp, but in an instant it expanded and exploded, transforming into a golden pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and the earth!
Wherever the beam of light passed, the eerie green sea of fire melted and disintegrated instantly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
"What?!"
Shi Huo Venerable's pupils suddenly contracted.
He had no time to think, and his figure retreated rapidly. At the same time, he waved his hands repeatedly, Supreme Treasure Armor on his body shone brightly. Meanwhile, a shield of flames condensed in front of him.
This is the ultimate defensive technique he created at the Universe Venerable level. Although it is not as powerful as his offensive techniques, it is still his strongest defensive method.
"Although Venerable Zhen Yan's strike was powerful, it shouldn't be able to break through my defenses..."
But he didn't finish his sentence.
Golden Light struck the fiery shield.
"Crack!"
A cracking sound rang out.
It wasn't the Golden Light that shattered, but the shield of fire that broke apart.
The fiery shield, powerful enough to withstand attacks from any High Universe Venerable, instantly turned into countless Mars and dissipated in all directions... It didn't even last a second.
"How is that possible!"
Shi Huo Venerable's eyes were bloodshot.
He only thought to dodge at that moment, but it was too late.
The Golden Light pierced through the fiery shield, its momentum undiminished, and struck him directly!
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
The Shi Huo Venerable flew backward like a kite with a broken string. The eerie green flames on his body were completely extinguished, his clothes were tattered, and a deep dent was left on his Supreme Treasure battle armor.
"Fifteen percent! I've lost fifteen percent of my divine body!!"
The Shi Huo Venerable's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer maintain his gloomy expression. A single blow had annihilated 15% of his divine body. This was definitely the combat power of Universe Overlord. The Venerable Zhen Yan's attack had actually reached the level of Universe Overlord.
Logically speaking, with his domain treasure, he should have a chance to fight even against a typical Universe Overlord. However, Zhen Yan also possesses Domain Supreme Treasure, and with the two counteracting each other, he is essentially facing the strongest move of a Universe Overlord.
If it weren't for borrowing the Supreme Treasure Armor, that attack just now would have resulted in far more than just the loss of 15% of my divine body!
All around, everyone watching stared blankly at the scene, as if they had forgotten to breathe.
One strike.
Just one strike.
A Universe Venerable had been renowned for Endless years, a top genius among the Human Race, had lost the ability to resist. On the side of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Skeleton King was shocked.
He quickly checked his betting odds.
Then I breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, most people bet on Shi Huo Venerable's victory. Although he has to compensate Demon Heart King for that huge order, he can still make a profit overall. "That Demon Heart King guy, going all in on Venerable Zhen Yan, could it be that he knew something beforehand?"
He secretly guessed.
With this single blow, the outcome was already decided, unless Shi Huo Venerable truly didn't value his life.
" Shi Huo, how does this Heaven-Shattering Staff Strike I created taste?"
Venerable Zhen Yan let out a wild laugh.
" Zhen Yan! You're ruthless enough; I'm no match for you."
Shi Huo Venerable no longer hesitated and decisively admitted defeat.
"To admit defeat so quickly... how boring." Venerable Zhen Yan waved his hand, and the Supreme Treasure staff was retrieved from his grasp. Then he said coldly, "Today, out of respect for the great Lord of Void Gold, I'll spare your life. I don't want to see that bastard Yanzhu King again."
"He will be resurrected after a long time, and after his resurrection, I will imprison him forever in the Divine Kingdom."
The Shi Huo Venerable had lost all his arrogance.
This is a battle to the death, not one that can be ended by admitting defeat. If Venerable Zhen Yan is not satisfied, he can still kill him.
Moreover, given Venerable Zhen Yan's current strength, aside from confining him within his own Divine Kingdom, he has absolutely no way to protect his son. "Fine, you know what's good for you."
Although Venerable Zhen Yan was furious, he did not really intend to kill Shi Huo Venerable. Even if he did kill him, the Venerable Shihuo would be resurrected, and he would offend the Venerable Shihuo's teacher Lord of Void Gold.
Just as Venerable Zhen Yan turned to leave, suddenly... a black phantom appeared out of Shi Huo Venerable.
Immediately afterwards, a black dagger pierced deeply into the body of the Shi Huo Venerable.
Hehehe!!
With a strange cry, the Shi Huo Venerable's divine body suddenly dissipated, shattering completely before the eyes of countless people...
The black-clad figure collected the relics of the Shi Huo Venerable and turned to run...
This scene shocked everyone.
Even Lu Qingshan didn't notice.
"Who is this guy? Where did he come from?"
