Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 269 Eight Thousand Years

In the vast void sea, deep in the archipelago hidden among countless whirlpools and undercurrents.

"Haha, this is a great harvest."

Along with laughter coming from the deck, a giant black void ship flexibly shuttled between the whirlpools and headed towards an island.

The scarlet skull logo on the surface of the Void Boat that looked like it was burning was enough to terrify adventure groups in nearby waters.

This is the symbol of the power under the command of 'Marshal of the Scarlet Sea', one of the Seven Pirate Marshals!

Marshal Scarlet Sea is the leader of the strongest pirate force in the East Pole Sea. This is a huge force that is powerful enough to deal with all major civilizations. Naturally, he has many branch forces and strong men under his command, scattered throughout the East Pole Sea.

And in this dangerous and unpredictable whirlpool strait, hides one of the branches of the power under the command of Marshal Scarlet Sea.

The environment of this whirlpool strait is already peculiar. It is a natural barrier. After being artificially transformed, the numerous whirlpools have completely distorted the space, making this sea area as complicated as a maze.

Even the Lord of the Void cannot force his way into this vortex strait without internal guidance.

The Scarlet Pirate's void ship could only travel so smoothly under the guidance.

At this time, behind the void ship, in the deepest part of the space layer, there was a temple shrunk to the size of a palm, secretly tracking the void ship as it shuttled through the chaotic space vortex.

Inside the temple.

Twelve figures gathered here, each wearing the badge of the Orderly of the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance. Each of them was at least a six-star Orderly, and they were all Void Lords.

The white-robed man at the head of the group even had a seven-star badge of order!

Without precious seven-colored artifacts and several powerful secret techniques, even the Lord of the Void would find it difficult to become a seven-star lawful being.

"Everyone."

The man in the white robe said in a low voice: "This plan was very successful. We have successfully infiltrated the Whirlpool Strait. It is estimated that we will soon be able to enter the headquarters of this branch of the Scarlet Pirates."

All the Void Lords breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Fortunately, we have the help of Palace Master Qi, otherwise there would be no possibility for us to sneak in."

"Palace Master Qi's artifact palace is indeed extraordinary. It is good at hiding and sneaking. Combined with Palace Master Qi's concealment secret technique, we can even sneak into the Whirlpool Strait."

"As long as I can successfully sneak in, this bait will not be wasted."

"However, I heard that the leader of the Scarlet Sea branch of pirates, Moreau, has a special seven-color artifact that was personally given to him by the Scarlet Sea Marshal. He is best at detection. I wonder if he can still avoid detection?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't hide, as long as you can sneak in."

A group of Void Lords spoke up one after another.

The white-robed man, Palace Master Qi, said in a low voice, "Let me remind you all again that this time we are only acting to save people, and we must not linger in the battle. The leader, General Cang, possesses several seven-colored artifacts, and has also practiced the master-level secret technique given by Marshal Scarlet Sea. I can only protect myself with this artifact palace. When the time comes, as long as we save people, we will leave immediately."

All the Void Lords nodded and understood what Palace Master Qi meant.

Although Palace Master Qi is powerful, he only has two six-color artifacts and this seven-color artifact palace to save his life. Naturally, he is no match for Moro in a head-on battle.

What's more, the leader 'General Cang' has practiced the master-level secret technique!

Secret arts often rely on external resources and have fixed power. Although one cannot become a top-notch powerhouse, the weaker one's strength, the more useful the secret arts will be.

The void-level secret technique is quite useful to void creatures and was created by the Lord of the Void.

The master-level secret technique is quite useful to the master of the void, and it was created by powerful people like the Third Ancestor who transcend the universe.

It is said that the third-level civilization has even more powerful secret techniques, but the details are unknown.

For many Void Lords, if they can learn the Lord-level secret arts and have enough resources to practice them to the limit, the secret arts will be more powerful than the seven-color artifacts!

Unfortunately, everything comes at a price.

The inheritance of the master-level secret technique is extremely precious, and the treasure resources needed for cultivation require a huge price, which may be higher than a few seven-color artifacts.

Only a big pirate like General Cang, who had followed Marshal Scarlet Sea and engaged in large-scale plunder, could afford the cost of practicing the master-level secret technique.

Even if he hadn't cultivated the master-level secret technique to its limit, it was still extremely terrifying.

If it weren't for the artifact palace of Palace Master Qi, these ordinary Void Lords would never dare to sneak into the Whirlpool Strait.

"arrive!"

After a while, Palace Master Qi suddenly spoke: "We have passed through the vortex space and entered General Cang's lair. I will act according to the situation. Once I find the young master of Zhenyuan Group, I will start to act."

Many void masters nodded.

Their action this time was not only for the mission issued by the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance, the key point was that an extremely wealthy force like the Zhenyuan Group also issued a bounty mission.

——The genius young master of Zhenyuan Group was captured by the Scarlet Pirates. Anyone who can rescue him will receive a high-level artifact as a reward from Zhenyuan Group.

Even though they didn't understand why the Zhenyuan Group valued a genius who was only at the level of a stellar creature so much, the temptation of a high-level artifact was enough for many people to take risks.

For example...Palace Master Qi.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Palace Master Qi, who had originally had a solemn expression, was suddenly stunned, as if he had discovered something incredible, and could not help but be a little dazed.

The Void Lords in the hall were also stunned.

"Palace Master Qi, what's wrong?"

"Has it been discovered by General Cang?"

"What the hell..."

The Void Lords couldn't help but ask.

Palace Master Qi had an expression of disbelief on his face, muttering, "How is this possible? A void creature? Could it be..."

He suddenly woke up, took a deep breath, looked at the Void Lords in front of him, and said, "Everyone, you don't have to worry about General Cang anymore."

"Don't worry?"

None of the Void Lords quite understood what he meant.

Palace Master Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "You will know if you go out and see for yourself."

As he spoke, he thought about it and put away the artifact palace, and appeared outside the palace with everyone.

This is an island with an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, located in a calm area in the center of countless chaotic voids.

The island is full of special substances that cannot be destroyed even by the original energy seawater and void vibrations, so that even the space has become much more stable.

Many Void Lords had already seen General Cang's base camp in the intelligence, and when they looked around, they naturally confirmed it at a glance.

But... upon seeing this, everyone was stunned.

Because the island was empty and there was almost no sign of any living creature, there was also a huge hemispherical pit on the ground, as if a huge sun had fallen and blasted such a terrifying pit on the ground.

And in the air, there were many artifacts that had lost their owners floating everywhere.

The most terrifying thing is that two artifacts emitting a terrifying aura are suspended in the air in the center of the giant pit. Judging from the terrifying fluctuations of the origin of the universe, they are obviously seven-colored artifacts!
Moreover, judging from the style of the artifact, it is actually General Cang’s most famous artifact!
There are ownerless artifacts floating everywhere, including many high-level ones.

This scene immediately made the eyes of many void masters red.

The strangest thing is that near the two seven-colored artifacts belonging to General Cang, there is a young man in black combat clothes floating, who is actually just a void creature.

At this time, the young man was holding an illusory soul in one hand, and his hand was shrouded in a desolate darkness. Terrifying power continued to burst out, as if trying to annihilate the soul.

However, that soul was protected by wisps of faint light and barely managed to survive. And every impact of darkness and annihilation made that soul become more illusory.

All the void masters were suddenly confused.

Could this horrifying scene before our eyes be caused by this void creature?
But after feeling the terrifying power of darkness and destructiveness in the hands of the void creature, no one dared to doubt it anymore.

That was a terrifying force that was enough to annihilate them in an instant!
"It's General Cang's soul!"

"General Cang, and the Crimson Sea branch of the forces, were destroyed by this void creature alone?"

"I heard that General Cang has practiced a master-level secret technique that protects the soul. It seems that he has practiced it to perfection, but he still can't stop it?"

"The Void Creature is actually so powerful. Could it be the Star God from eight thousand years ago?"

"Besides him, there is no one else..."

At this moment, all the Void Lords had their own guesses, and suddenly no one dared to covet those ownerless artifacts anymore.

You can take it if you are alive, but you can’t use it if you are not alive.

Eight thousand years ago, a natural artifact was born on the main star of the Weird Mist Sea, and it was taken away by a void creature. Such an earth-shaking event naturally spread throughout the entire Void Sea.

Moreover, at that time, several powerful Void Lords were killed by him easily, which made him famous!
Although that was on the main star, the void creature could exert its full strength, while other void masters could only exert 10%, but it was enough to prove their strength.

I am afraid……

Looking across the entire Void Sea, it is difficult to find another void creature as terrifying as this one.

Even if they have appeared in history, such peerless geniuses will soon become the masters of the void and will not be able to stay in the void creature stage for long.

And now, another such terrifying void creature has appeared. They don't need to think to guess that it must be the same person.

Over the past eight thousand years, a rumor has been circulating in the Void Sea:

This void creature is Lin Qing, the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm who is favored by the founder of the Tianyuan Seat.

It is said that this conclusion was reached after personal investigation by several Void Clergymen who are good at investigation and tracking among the Level 2.8 civilizations.

As time went by, the rumor that the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm possessed a natural divine weapon spread among all forces.

Although it is not certain whether it is true or not, since it has been spread like this, most people naturally believe it.

"My name is Dongyue Mingming, Qiyin."

Palace Master Qi couldn't help but say, "I have also accepted a mission from the Star Patrol Alliance. May I ask if you are the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

"Oh?" Lin Qing glanced at him and said calmly, "Then you can go. General Cang is about to die."

As he spoke, his hand continued to stimulate the original destruction, allowing the darkness that seemed to annihilate all things to continuously impact and devour the layer of mystical light on the surface of General Cang's soul.

When Palace Master Qi found that the other party neither denied nor admitted it, he took it as a tacit agreement and asked carefully, "Excuse me, Mr. Lin, have you seen the young master of Zhenyuan Group?"

"I put it away." Lin Qing said casually: "You can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Palace Master Qi and other Void Lords were somewhat unwilling, but since this man had killed a strong man like General Cang, how could they dare to say anything more?
Immediately, Palace Master Qi did not say much. He took another look at General Cang's soul that was being swallowed by the darkness. Then he released the temple again, put a group of Void Lords in it, and left the island.

As for those artifacts floating and scattered around?

No one dared to look at it any more.

The most important seven-colored artifact is right next to him. Other artifacts are not that important to the Void Lords, so they naturally won’t be crazy enough to snatch food from the mouth of such a perverted strong man.

"That's pretty sensible...it saves me some effort..."

Lin Qing watched the artifact palace go away, took a glance and then retracted his gaze, continuing to use the original annihilation to consume the soul of General Cang.

"Damn it! Let me go, let me go! Otherwise, the Marshal will not forgive you!"

General Cang's soul was still roaring, and the mysterious light on the surface of his soul was still stubbornly resisting Lin Qing's power.

Lin Qing sneered and said, "It seems that being a pirate is really profitable. How can you, who hasn't even created a magical skill of space rules, practice the master-level secret technique to the extreme?"

He also practiced the secret arts of the Sky Islands, but those secret arts were special secret arts that did not require much external resources and were used to cultivate talents among the weak.

However, he had also heard of the dominance-level secret techniques, which consumed an outrageous amount of resources and treasures.

The more powerful the master-level secret technique, the more exaggerated the consumption.

There are even some secret techniques that require the consumption of treasures that are more precious than several seven-color artifacts in order to be practiced to perfection.

Only a super powerful person can cultivate the Lord of the Void.

However, for a plundering force like pirates, it is understandable that they can afford such a price.

You have to know that the vast majority of pirates are just creatures of the void, and the strong ones at the level of the Void Lords can be regarded as an important class no matter in which force, so naturally there are very few who are willing to be pirates.

Even though it is easy for pirates to make money by looting, the Void Overlords no longer value Void Coins.

Big pirates of this level often pursue huge amounts of wealth and are supported by a huge pirate force, making up for quality with quantity.

Even if Void Coins cannot buy five-color artifacts, as long as there are enough Void Coins, you can buy four-color artifacts or treasures of the same level. If you use enough treasures of this level, you can exchange them for five-color artifacts.

This would certainly waste immeasurable wealth, but for pirates, the wealth was all obtained through looting, so naturally they would not feel sorry for it.

Just like General Cang.

Hundreds of thousands of pirates under his command plundered and made money everywhere, and most of the wealth was used to support the leader, General Cang.

This master-level secret technique for protecting the soul is indeed powerful.

Lin Qing's current strength has reached the eighteenth level of the Star Abyss even with the use of a set of magical tools, but he still cannot destroy the soul instantly and can only destroy it slowly.

"But..." Lin Qing smiled, "This time we have gained quite a lot..."
