Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 143 The Final Battle

Soon, news spread like wildfire that part of the Virtual Universe Company's army was coming to quell the rebellion, and information about the mobilization of various legions also spread everywhere.

Everyone knew that the rebellion, which was instigated by Marquis Wang Mang, was about to end.

With a behemoth like Virtual Universe Corporation making its move, there's no way the rebels will survive.

Upon learning that the Virtual Universe Company was about to make a move, the rebel leaders not only did not restrain themselves, but became even more frenzied.

Strangely, despite the widespread rumors, Wu Hao's various legions did not make any substantial mobilizations.

In the Kana Star Sector, Marquis Xieyan slammed his fist on the table, and all the kings and marquises belonging to the Jinlan Universe Kingdom turned to look.

"That bastard Wu Hao, a mere domain lord, dares to boss around the troops of our Jinlan Universe Kingdom, and even demands that we hand over military power so that he can be in charge of all operations. What gives him the right? Just because he's some damn inspector from the Virtual Universe Company branch? Doesn't our Jinlan Universe Kingdom have more authority than the Virtual Universe Company branch?!"

Still not satisfied with his words, Marquis Xieyan slapped the chairs on which everyone was sitting, shattering them and causing the other dozen or so kings and marquises to frown.

"Xieyan, Wu Hao is just over a hundred years old. Isn't it normal for young people to be a little impetuous? Is it necessary to lower yourself to his level?" Another Marquis quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Pah! Young people, young my ass! Their weak race considers their teens to be adults. People who are over a hundred years old now have long exceeded the natural lifespan limit of their race!" Marquis Xieyan roared again, venting his dissatisfaction on the crowd.

His usual friends suddenly frowned. Marquis Xieyan had been with them for decades and was never like this before. Why did he suddenly break down because of this?

"Why is Marquis Xieyan suddenly acting like this? Isn't he usually very amiable?" An immortal attending the meeting suddenly asked his colleague.

The man glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, immediately began to speak: "You don't even know this? Marquis Xieyan was held accountable for his poor performance in battle. Wu Hao used his authority as a special envoy to say that he wanted to report the situation to the human leadership and then demanded that Marquis Xieyan be stripped of his military power. Isn't that why he's so desperate now?"

The person asking the question suddenly realized something and then pretended to be enlightened.

However, not long after he had figured out the situation, he heard Marquis Xieyan above the conference seat say angrily, "Next, all legions must go all out and join forces to fight a decisive battle against the rebels. I refuse to believe that our nearly thirty kings and marquises are no match for those five!"

Before Marquis Xieyan could finish speaking, someone immediately retorted: "Marquis Xieyan, isn't this inappropriate? Our side currently holds an absolute advantage. As long as the forces of the Virtual Universe Company join in, and we mobilize the powerful figures from the Hongmeng Alliance in those universe kingdoms, wouldn't we be guaranteed to win?"

However, his mature and prudent words immediately drew a furious scolding from Marquis Xieyan.

According to what that Marquis said, it is true that they are 100% guaranteed to win, but once the rebels are quelled, that will be the time when Marquis Xieyan will be held accountable.

"Shut up, all of you! I am the commander-in-chief in this campaign to quell the rebellion. In three days, I will have you all assemble for a head-on confrontation with the rebels!" Marquis Xieyan immediately suppressed all dissent and began mobilizing his troops to prepare for the decisive battle.

Unsurprisingly, the details of this meeting came to the attention of Marquis Wang Mang.

As a former high-ranking official of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom, how could he not have spies within the Universe Kingdom's military?

"Wang Mang, are you saying that Marquis Xieyan and Inspector Wu Hao have a conflict, and instead of waiting for the Virtual Universe Company's army, they want to engage in a direct battle with us?"

Blood Flame Marquis felt something was amiss. He knew Xie Flame Marquis well; although the man was somewhat stubborn, he was definitely not someone who couldn't see things clearly. There must be another hidden story behind this.

However, the escape route that Marquis Mang had arranged for them was something they all knew very well. They understood that regardless of whether the final battle was real or not, they all had to fight it.

"What are you afraid of!" Marquis Wangmang glanced at the other four people, then whispered, "They've already agreed. Once Marquis Xieyan's side really gathers, they will personally help us win this battle. At that time, regardless of whether we win or lose, as long as we kill more than twenty Marquis-level Immortals, you and I will both have military merits for escaping the human race's territory!"

After discussing the details of the battle, the group dispersed, awaiting the final assembly of the army.

After everyone had left, Marquis Wang Mang looked at a shadowy spot behind him and said, "Come out, they're all gone!"

"Hahaha, you humans are really laughable. You actually believe you so easily? If those guys knew that you hadn't prepared any escape routes for them, wouldn't they tear you apart alive!" The tall, thin figure shook his head. "No, how could the dignified Marquis Wang Mang lie? After all, that's the reputation you built over forty eras."

"Don't give me that nonsense!" Marquis Wang Mang's face grew even more ferocious. "Did your clan give me the secret realm inheritance of the same level as the Demon Sound God General? If you don't give me a definite answer or hand over the token, I'm going to turn myself in to the Virtual Universe Company right now. Even if it takes me millions of epochs in the extraterrestrial battlefield, I won't continue my madness!"

"What's the rush!" The mysterious, tall, and thin figure tossed a piece of paper to Wang Manghou. Inside was a letter exuding the aura of a Universe Venerable. "This is a letter of recommendation written for you by my clan's great Venerable. It has now been submitted to my clan's higher-ups for approval. As long as you do as my clan says, there's a high probability that this secret realm inheritance will be allocated to you!"

"Venerable Youlan?" Marquis Wangmang took the letter and saw that it was an application for the 'Blood Sacrifice Secret Realm'. The applicant was none other than himself, and the recommender was someone named Venerable Youlan.

"Yes, Venerable Youlan!" The mysterious, tall, and thin figure found a chair and sat down, then continued, "You've hit the jackpot this time. Venerable Youlan is a truly powerful Venerable of our clan, a great member of our mother clan. If she speaks, your spot in the Blood Sacrifice Secret Realm is practically guaranteed."

"Blood Sacrifice Secret Realm!" Marquis Wang Mang recalled in his mind and immediately found the relevant information about the Blood Sacrifice Secret Realm.

This is said to be a trial within the Zerg race, in which all Zerg queens at the realm lord level must create their greatest Zerg warriors to participate in this trial.

Each trial involves trillions of Zerg Lord units, and only one of these Lords can survive the trial.

Legend has it that the trial grounds are filled with blood and gore, and the malevolent aura at the very center is so intense that even an immortal king would find it difficult to withstand.

"Become a king, become a king!" Thinking of his enemies, Marquis Wang Mang's desire for the power of becoming a king grew stronger. He looked at the endless starry sky in the distance and murmured something that no one could hear.

Soon the troops of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom were assembled, and Marquis Xieyan led more than a dozen marquises to confront the main force of the rebel army.

The two forces amassed over a range of hundreds of light-years and began a frenzied cosmic war.

From stellar-level beings to immortal military leaders, everyone is engaged in a frenzied battle.

If these people were placed on some small inhabited planet, each of them would be the absolute master of civilization. But in this vast cosmic war, all of their lives are nothing more than a string of casualties.

Finally, several legion commanders could no longer withstand the casualties and chose to leave the battlefield. After Feng Hou joined the battle, the situation escalated instantly, and Feng Hou Bu Xiu from the rebel side also chose to take action.

"Nine Nether Marquis, Myriad Changes Marquis, are you still going to remain so stubborn? What benefits has Marquis Wang Mang given you that makes you risk your lives for him like this!" A legion commander shouted angrily, seemingly trying to persuade the two marquises to change their minds. However, the two traitorous legion commanders remained silent, only frantically waving their weapons, fighting against the marquises who were besieging them.

Subsequently, more marquises immediately joined the siege of the two military commanders. Seeing that more than a dozen marquises had surrounded them, the remaining marquises of the rebel army also rushed up.

"Sword World!" A Marquis Immortal wielding a Divine Weapon attacked the Nine Nether Marquis, whose body was instantly shattered, only to reassemble not far away.

Just as his body was solidifying, a Marquis skilled in soul manipulation exclaimed in shock: "Soul Imprint! It's a soul imprint! Marquis Wang Mang, how dare you use a soul imprint on the commander of my Jinlan Universe Kingdom's army!"

As soon as the words spread, the many marquises were in an uproar. They knew that soul control was an absolute taboo against dealing with fellow clansmen above the Immortal level, especially for those of them in high positions. It was definitely a violation of the bottom line.

Even the two brothers who rebelled with Marquis Wangmang, Marquis Xueyan and Marquis Kongjian, cast puzzled glances at him.

"Take them down first, and then I'll explain!" Marquis Wangmang's words immediately dispelled their doubts, and the battle continued. Marquis Wangmang also personally entered the fray to face Marquis Xieyan and several other high-ranking marquises.

"Ten Thousand Extinction Stars!" Thousands of flying blades were manipulated by Wang Manghou with his mental power and flew into the cosmos, frantically attacking Xie Yanhou's body.

As the most important combat force on the scene, he must quickly achieve a breakthrough against the other few immortals in order to turn the tide of the battle despite being outnumbered.

However, this time was different from the past. The marquises who had previously gone through the motions were now taking it very seriously, and they all burned their divine power and began to unleash their fighting strength. For a time, they managed to fight him to a draw.

Continuing to fight like this is completely inconsistent with Marquis Wangmang's strategy. His reason for being willing to fight the regular army is to quickly defeat the Jinlan Universe Kingdom's forces so that he can deal with the Virtual Universe Company's forces that will soon arrive on the battlefield.

If he gets bogged down, he might never have a chance to escape once the Virtual Universe Company's forces arrive!
"You all deserve to die for pushing me to this point!"

Marquis Wang Mang hardened his heart and also burned his divine power to launch a counterattack.

Both sides were now fighting with bloodshot eyes, and even though they had only started out to complete the mission, they were now using absolutely no means of restraint.

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion rang out in the distance. The rebel army's Immortal Marquis of the Nine Netherworlds let out a mournful wail before his divine body was completely obliterated. A Marquis had fallen.

"No!" The races that had joined the Rebel Army in their rebellion felt a chill run down their spines, and the morale of the entire rebel army plummeted instantly.

Just as he was looking defeated, Marquis Xie Yan suddenly retreated from the battlefield, waved his hands in the void, and his divine kingdom suddenly appeared in the universe.

"Oh no, he has someone hidden in his divine kingdom!" By the time Marquis Wangmang noticed Marquis Xieyan's actions, it was already too late.

"Heavenly Prison!" A tall figure, over forty meters high, appeared before the crowd.

He swung his sledgehammer wildly, instantly sealing off an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers around him, forcing everyone within the restricted area to teleport away.

Then the tall figure raised his hammer again and charged madly toward the location of Marquis Wang Mang.

"Ling Wan, save me!" Upon seeing a King-level Immortal make a move, Marquis Wang Mang immediately cried out for help.

"Trash!" The tall, thin figure hidden in the crowd also rushed over quickly. Only after Wang Manghou's body was completely obliterated by a single hammer blow did he barely manage to block Yan Yuwang's hammer.

"Who are you!" Everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of this powerful human. They never expected that the rebels would still have a king-level expert remaining.

"It's him!" Unlike the surprised crowd, the Dark Demon King recognized the human powerhouse immediately.

Seeing Wu Hao looking over, he immediately replied, "This person's title is the King of the Sea and Rivers. He is skilled in water and earth elemental laws. I met him once on the battlefield outside the domain."

There are only about 100,000 Kings in the human world. As time goes by, it is not strange for two Kings to know each other.

"But shouldn't he still be on the extraterritorial battlefield? How did he end up in the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom?"

Wu Hao immediately looked into the distance and saw that the Sea River King had started fighting with the Flame King without saying a word.

These two were both high-ranking kings, and their strength was roughly equal. In the short term, neither of them could do anything to the other.

However, King Yanyu was, after all, a king who was skilled in the laws of space. Even though the fire element was slightly restrained by the water element, he still gradually began to gain the upper hand.

Their battle raged on unimpeded, with almost no other Marquis or Immortal rank daring to intervene. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the battlefield drew ever closer to Wu Hao's location as the fighting progressed.

Looking at the situation, Wu Hao immediately gave the order: "The Sea River King is helping the human rebels. Everyone, show no mercy and take him down at all costs."

After Wu Hao gave the order, the surrounding marquises began to launch an attack on the King of the Sea River from a distance.

While everyone was launching their attack, Wu Hao immediately emailed Nine Swords Venerable, informing him that the Sea River King had appeared in the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom and was helping the human rebels.

As Wu Hao's direct superior and the person in charge of his most direct evaluation, the tasks that Wu Hao was dispatched to perform were most likely approved by him.

Suddenly, when the two were fighting tens of millions of kilometers in front of Wu Hao, Haihe King suddenly leaped out of the battle and rushed towards Wu Hao.

Just as he accelerated, Wu Hao couldn't see what was happening at all.

The Sea River King released a world from his hand, and suddenly countless insectoids flew out across the sky, unleashing a dense barrage of attacks.

However, the Dark King had already seen everything. He looked at the situation in disbelief and then launched a counterattack.
