The situation on the outskirts, a chance encounter with three Venerables a thousand years later

The silver domain, capable of easily annihilating even Top-Tier Heavy Treasures, slowly dissipated.

Apart from the remnant divine body of the Human Race servant who was enfeoffed King Rank, all traces of the Molten Fire King and the Rock King, including their most prized possessions, had been completely reduced to nothingness.

Qie Qiong stood with his hands behind his back, showing no surprise whatsoever at the result of easily crushing the two Invincible Kings.

He would be disappointed if his ultimate technique didn't possess such power.

"However, it seems that the power of the Fourth Layer 'Space-Time Destruction: Space Chapter' is even greater than expected," Qie Qiong thought to himself, a slight smile curving his lips.

This powerful divine force was something I had never experienced in either of my two lifetimes.

Just then, two more figures flew towards Qie Qiong from a distance.

The leader was none other than the Human Race King-level Immortal from before, and his servant.

They were actually the two closest to Qie Qiong, but because neither of them had mastered teleportation, they arrived so late.

However, the two were currently debating whether or not to continue flying towards Qie Qiong.

After all, they're just slow, not blind.

The King-level Immortal quickly turned to the figure standing with his hands behind his back, wearing silver-gold armor, at the entrance of the volcano.

"Master Rock King, Molten Fire King, they—" The servant beside the Human Race King Rank trembled slightly.

These two are very well-known figures in this area.

These two Invincible Kings! The Molten Fire King, in particular, can fight against ordinary Universe Venerables without being defeated!

In such a short time, without even a shred of resistance, they were completely annihilated?

They were unaware that none of the three men had left behind their most prized possessions; they would be even more horrified if they knew.

Thinking of this, the two looked at the Universe Venerable one in front of them, dressed in silver and gold armor with a cold expression; his power was definitely beyond their imagination.

Fortunately, this was clearly Universe Venerable of the Human Race.

If it were any other race, neither of them dared to imagine what would happen to them.

"Senior!" The Human Race King Rank reacted quickly, bowing respectfully without hesitation. "I am Mie Hun, affiliated with the Virtual Universe Company, seeking opportunities here. I sensed a powerful energy fluctuation here just now, hence my arrival. If I have disturbed your peaceful cultivation, please forgive me."

The servants behind him immediately bowed as well, not daring to breathe.

They were filled with nothing but gratitude, grateful that they were enslaved by their great master; otherwise, they would probably have turned into cosmic dust just like the Rock King and the others.

Qie Qiong's gaze remained calm as he swept over the King Mie Hun and the servants behind him.

He could sense the deep-seated fear in this King Mie Hun, but he could also understand it. He had felt the same way when facing the Universe Venerable back then, let alone in a situation like today.

As Universe Venerable of the Human Race, he naturally felt a protective instinct towards the younger generation of his people. He would not make things difficult for them without reason, as long as they were not traitors or enemies.

"It's alright." Qie Qiong spoke calmly, his voice carrying an invisible authority despite its gentle tone. "This is where I cultivate in seclusion. Those two Alien Race insects, oblivious to their own mortality, intruded and have been killed by me."

Although he spoke lightly, the King Mie Hun knew the strength of the Molten Fire King's trio, and quickly said, "Senior, you are truly awe-inspiring! Such Alien Race dare to disturb you, they deserve to die! This junior will take his leave now and will not disturb you any longer."

Although this person was a respected figure among the Human Race, he didn't know the other party's temperament, so it was best to leave first.

"Wait a minute," Qie Qiong's voice rang out again.

The King Mie Hun immediately replied respectfully, "Senior, please give your orders."

Qie Qiong's gaze fell on King Yan Chen: "Since you are stationed at the edge of this secret realm, how much do you know about the forces in this area?"

Although there is information about this place in the Virtual Universe, it is not as reliable as information from people who have been here all along, and they have more experience.

The King Mie Hun hurriedly replied respectfully, "Reporting to Your Excellency, this junior has been active in the edge of the Constant Sand Secret Region Realm for dozens of epochs and has some knowledge of the distribution of the top-tier powerhouses active within the secret realm. Due to the Time Constant Sand's conflict, several formidable forces have been entrenched here for many years, mainly composed of three factions."

He paused, organizing his thoughts, and said, "First and foremost, of course, are the great figures of our Human Race here. Our Human Race has three Universe Venerables from the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena overseeing things. Venerable Star Demon is stationed at the Starfall Canyon stronghold in the west, monitoring the area bordering the secret realm and our race's territory. Venerable Thousand Illusions spends most of his time in the core area of the secret realm, where the chances of encountering the 'Time Constant Sands' are slightly higher. Venerable Rock Axe is of fierce temperament and often stays in the 'Boundary-Breaking Mountains' area, which is close to the Demon Race's territory."

Qie Qiong nodded knowingly. He knew all of them; they were all Intermediate Universe Venerables like him before, and they were all penniless.

That Star Demon was from the Virtual Universe Company, just like him. He also knew why he was called Venerable Star Demon. It was said that since he was a child, he had wanted to become the Star Prison Demon Lord's disciple, but the Star Prison Demon Lord never accepted disciples, so he could only try to get close to him.

He didn't know much about Thousand Illusions, only that he was a soul master who was very powerful when he was King Rank. However, after becoming a venerable, his Soul Slave became less useful. Venerable servants were not something he could Soul Control, so his combat power declined when he reached the venerable level.

As for Venerable Rock Axe, just hearing his name makes him sound like Universe Venerable from the Giant Axe Arena. To put it nicely, he's fiercely independent; to put it bluntly, he's just a reckless brute.

The King Mie Hun continued, "Secondly, there's the Demon Race, who are our adversaries. They're entrenched in the northern part of the secret realm, with two Universe Venerables in charge. One is the Venerable Rock Armor, whose true form is said to be some kind of Special Lifeform, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities and a massive size. The other is the Venerable Shadow Snake, whose speed is incredibly fast. And then there are the three Venerables you just killed; they can also be considered Universe Venerables, but you've already dealt with them."

The King Mie Hun took a deep breath, his voice clearly tinged with fear. "And the last force, the most feared being in the Constant Sand Secret Region, is that Special Lifeform form that has been crowned as King Rank, who calls himself Shadow Erosion." Its true form has never been truly revealed; it is extremely skilled in concealment and assassination.

His voice lowered slightly, "This person was already here when we arrived. Over the years, he has hunted down the strongest members of both our forces, and most importantly, he has a record of successfully ambushing and killing a Demon Race Universe Venerable! The Molten Fire King's three-man team arrived after this incident. We did try to find him, but his Innate Secret Technique is just too slippery. Since then, the name 'Shadow Erosion' has resounded throughout the secret realm. Even the three Venerables stationed here and the two Demon Race Venerables are extremely wary of him and are unwilling to provoke him easily."

After finishing speaking, the King Mie Hun respectfully bowed his head. "Senior, this is the power structure of this region as far as I know. Of course, there are other teams composed of those at the Peak King -Limit King Rank realm, or the occasional Venerable Yu Shen, but none of them have the same influence as us. The core reason for the chaos here is that the temptation of 'Time Constant Sands' is too great, and the truly top-tier experts who can suppress the entire situation never stay here for long due to the tacit understanding between our race and the Demon Race."

Qie Qiong listened quietly, her eyes showing no emotion.

The information about the King Mie Hun basically matched the information he obtained from the Virtual Universe Company. However, the fact that the Special Lifeform form "Shadow Erosion" could kill Demon Race venerable made him slightly uneasy.

Even for a King Rank, or Special Lifeform, killing Universe Venerable is no easy task; such a being must be extremely powerful, and there are very few of them in the entire Primal Universe.

If he could have possessed Special Lifeform of this level before Immortal, he might be one of the Top Universe Overlords today.

But it doesn't seem too late now.

"Hmm, the intelligence is quite detailed," Qie Qiong commented casually. "You can leave now."

The King Mie Hun quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior. This junior will take his leave."

Without pausing, he immediately led his servants and headed towards his camp at top speed.

He will never come so quickly again. It was only because he encountered Human Race venerable one this time; if it were another race, his survival would be uncertain.

The volcanic mountain range has returned to tranquility.

Qie Qiong's gaze turned towards the depths of the Constant Sand Secret Region, a silver light swirling in the depths of his eyes.

"Shadow Erosion," he murmured to himself, quickly processing the information he had just received. "It seems this trip to the Constant Sand Secret Region is going to be more interesting than I expected." He was referring to that Special Lifeform capable of killing a Venerable.

In the eyes of Qie Qiong, who had already mastered the Fourth Layer "Space-Time Destruction: Space Chapter" and whose strength had soared, he was merely a target who needed to be kept a little watchful.

After all, this Immortal had killed many Human Race.

The fall of the Molten Fire King and the Rock King, if like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, would create quite a ripple in the edge of the Constant Sand Secret Region Realm.

The disappearance of two Invincible Kings, especially one of them who possessed the powerful Invincible King of "Molten Fire King," was enough to cause unease and uncertainty among the various forces in this region, except for the Human Race.

Rumors spread like wildfire. Some said that the two major forces had clashed at the Venerable Level and perished together; others speculated that "Shadow Erosion" had struck again, hunting down powerful figures; still others said that the two had simply entered a secret realm.

However, Qie Qiong, the instigator, has quietly disappeared into the Constant Sand Continent and merged into this boundless sea of sand.

He transformed into a true wanderer of the secret realm, sweeping across the vast area with his powerful mental energy, patiently awaiting the "Time Constant Sands " falling from the endless Void Sand Sea.

A thousand years may be but a fleeting moment in the eyes of Universe Venerable, but for a Universe Venerable who is determined to search, it is enough to traverse many corners of the outer region of the secret realm.

As a thousand years have passed, the aura of Qie Qiong has become increasingly restrained.

The newly generated Annihilation Divine Power had already been completely controlled and was operating smoothly.

Over these thousand years, he has not been without gain.

With his mastery of space and a bit of luck, he successfully obtained three precious "Time Constant Sands ".

Of course, the most important thing is good luck. If it were that easy to obtain three grains of Time Constant Sand, the normal combat power in this secret realm would already be that of Advanced Universe Venerables.

Silver sand flowed through his palm, radiating clear ripples of time; each grain was priceless, enough to be exchanged for a fine treasure in the Race Treasury.

On this day, Qie Qiong was suspended above a huge circular sand valley, his spiritual power like an invisible net, meticulously scanning every grain of sand below.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and his gaze turned toward another entrance to the sand valley.

Three familiar auras were approaching this area at a relatively slow pace.

"Finally met you?" A faint smile appeared on Qie Qiong's lips.

It was none other than the three Intermediate Universe Venerables of the Human Race stationed here: Star Demon, Thousand Illusions, and Pan Fu.

The outer perimeter of the Constant Sand Secret Region is extremely vast, and for thousands of years, Qie Qiong has been searching for and exploring it.

Therefore, I have never encountered these three people.

The first thing that catches the eye is a figure shrouded in hazy starlight, with a slightly heavy aura. It is none other than the Venerable Star Demon, who is stationed at the western stronghold of "Starfall Canyon".

He had clearly sensed Qie Qiong's presence as well. As the light pierced through space, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes when he saw Qie Qiong's iconic silver and gold armor.

"Qie Qiong?" The Venerable Star Demon's voice was tinged with doubt.

He remembered Qie Qiong; they both came from the Virtual Universe Company, but Qie Qiong only joined when he was already Universe Venerable. Back then, he even wanted to take Qiong Qiong as his disciple.

However, Qie Qiong quickly became a King Rank expert, and by then it was a bit too late for him to take on disciples.

As far as I can remember, Qie Qiong had not been a Venerable for long, and had been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City in a low-key manner. He was also quite conservative in character.

He never expected to encounter this newly ascended Venerable who was "hikikomori" (reclusive) in Chaos City on the edge of the chaotic Constant Sand Secret Region.

Especially a thousand years ago, I heard the King Mie Hun report that a Human Race venerable had annihilated the Invincible King of the Machine Race and the Demon Race. Now I realize that it was this Qie Qiong who did it.

But in the Venerable Star Demon's view, he wasn't even confident he could annihilate the Molten Fire King's squad, so how could it be Qie Qiong?

Immediately afterwards, a Phantom Body appeared silently beside the Venerable Star Demon, its aura ethereal and unpredictable; it was none other than the Venerable Thousand Illusions, a master of illusion.

Her gaze swept over Qie Qiong, and a solemn expression appeared on her face.

As a master of illusion, her senses were even more acute, and she clearly detected a terrifying aura emanating from Qie Qiong that seemed capable of shattering the very fabric of space.

That aura was far beyond what an ordinary Space Venerable could possess.

"Star Demon, who is this?" Venerable Thousand Illusions asked telepathically, his tone full of curiosity.

"He is Venerable Qie Qiong from my Virtual Universe Company," Venerable Star Demon replied with a complex expression, "But his aura seems somewhat different from before."

Finally, there was a burly man over ten meters tall, with muscles bulging like cast metal, carrying a huge stone axe on his back.

It was the Venerable Rock Axe was of a fierce temperament and often frequented the "Boundary-Breaking Mountains".

His voice boomed like thunder, and he shouted directly, "Star Demon, Thousand Illusions, what are you dawdling for? Huh? There's a new face here?"

That's quite a strong aura!

Pan Fu stared intently at Qie Qiong, a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.
