Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 136 Universe Venerable-Level Combat Power
About 10 minutes later, through a virtual network with high latency, Wind Demon King successfully obtained the coordinates of Heavenly Demon King.

"Master, we have obtained the coordinates of the Heavenly Demon King. He is in region 2971 of the Omos Continent and is exploring a newly discovered secret realm."

After disconnecting the virtual network connection, Feng Sha Wang reported to Yu Duan.

The virtual networks of the Zerg and the Demon races are relatively backward, resulting in high information transmission delays, far inferior to the human virtual universe with its absolutely real-time communication.

While the Mech race's virtual network is decent, it can only facilitate real-time communication within a single star sector.

"Area 2971 isn't far away."

Yu Duan glanced at the star map; it would only take half a day.

"Very well, you can transfer your assets and wealth now."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, Feng Sha Wang hurriedly logged into the Zerg virtual network system and began transferring his wealth.

Unlike directly killing a target, killing a target only yields the wealth carried by that target.

By enslaving souls and subjugating them, all of the other party's wealth can fall into Yu Duan's hands.

Previously, Yu Duan had only gained 174 billion Chaos Units of wealth from the three high-level teammates of the Wind Demon King who had been killed by his soul, including the value of their corpses. This was equivalent to the entire fortune of a high-level King.

The total wealth of Feng Sha Wang alone is close to 400 billion Hunyuan units.

Even if selling everything would result in a lower price, the income from this hunt, including the wealth of the three kings, could still reach 500 billion mixed units.

"I have two clones, one without a soul, and the other with an extremely strong soul defense."

"But physical defense is still too weak."

"The treasure armor is hard to get, and although the top-grade G-level armor is not bad, it is still not enough."

"To cultivate the crystal to the immortal level, according to the most powerful plan, it would require more than 2800 billion units of mixed energy."

"When the crystal is fused with a top-tier G-grade armor, its defensive capabilities can reach the limit below that of a great treasure."

While the divine bodies of metal-type life forms are generally smaller than those of plant-type life forms, their defensive capabilities far surpass those of plant-type life forms at the same level.

Especially the Crystalline, which is known as the strongest support metal-type life form, has a cultivation cost that is more than twice that of the strongest Star-Eating Grass.

Once successfully broken through, it will be comparable to the limit of the King-level realm, with defensive power that even the limit of the King-level realm would find difficult to break.

Then, by combining it with the standard G-grade armor commonly used by ordinary Venerables, its defensive power will be comparable to a pseudo-heavy treasure.

Standard G-grade armor, similar to the Beast God Weapon, is a Venerable-level treasure.

After all, not all cosmic lords possess powerful armor.

Almost all novice Venerables possess powerful weapons, but only a few possess powerful armor.

……

Half a day later, in region 2971 of the Omos Continent.

This is a desolate, icy wasteland, rarely visited by humans. As soon as Yu Duan's Frost Sky Beast clone entered this area, he felt comfortable all over.

The cosmic energy here is almost entirely water-based, with only a small amount of wind-based energy, which is a perfect match for the Frost Sky Beast's clone.

"Why did Feng Sha suddenly come over?"

The figure, wielding a giant stellar hammer, looked at the Demon King beside him.

This stellar hammer was actually forged with the core of a supermassive star incorporated into it. When activated by divine power, its power far surpasses that of smashing a person with a real star.

After all, for a king-level expert, a star is extremely fragile; crushing an ordinary star is easier than killing an immortal military lord.

The figure wielding the giant stellar hammer is none other than Xuanxing Wang, one of the four who surrounded and killed Yu Duan.

"It seems to be related to a treasure that the Wood Vine King obtained. Feng Sha didn't go into details, but... I just found out that the Wood Vine King has retired."

A hint of speculation flickered in the Heavenly Demon King's eyes: "Do you think it's possible that the Wood Vine King obtained a treasure, but then lacked the strength to stay on the outer battlefield?"

King Xuanxing was taken aback, and the three peak-level Kings beside him were also astonished upon hearing this.

"King Muteng is one of the best among those at the pinnacle of the King-level realm. There's only one possibility that even he couldn't protect this treasure!"

A burning desire appeared in Xuanxing King's eyes, but he quickly calmed down when he thought about the huge gap in strength between himself and Muteng King.

"Don't overthink it, you'll understand once the wind subsides."

As the group talked, a pitch-black spaceship was rapidly approaching them at a speed just short of the speed of light.

About half an hour later, the Demon King and the others received a signal from the auxiliary AI that a spaceship had entered the vicinity of 10 billion kilometers.

"The wind demon is coming!"

The Demon King rose and gazed at the distant horizon.

In just about five minutes, the dark spaceship hovered beside them.

Wow!
The spaceship hatch opened, and the figure of the Wind Demon King flew out.

"Feng Sha, what's the matter that requires us to meet in person..."

Before the Heavenly Demon King could finish speaking, the Wind Demon King, who had just emerged from the spaceship, immediately burned his divine power.

"Time slows down!"

In an instant, a hazy, blue rain of light rippled outwards.

As a veteran immortal king, Feng Sha Wang has long since mastered the art of time slowing down, achieving a speed reduction of 1 times!
At this moment, whether it was the Heavenly Demon King, the Mysterious Star King, or the other two peak-level King-level opponents, they all reacted immediately.

"Time pauses!"

The next moment, an extremely pleasant voice rang out.

A dazzling halo of light from the nebula instantly enveloped an area of ​​500 kilometers around, freezing everything in a state of stillness.

Compared to time deceleration, time stop is more powerful, but it is also easier to break free from.

Even if time were slowed down by ten thousand times, it might only slow down the speed by tens or hundreds of times for those powerful individuals. However, to completely break free, one would need to have a higher level of understanding of the laws.

Immediately following the pause in time, the sound spread outwards, a sound so exquisitely beautiful.

The ethereal realm of light was unleashed with the bewitching demonic sound, and this time Yu Duan directly burned a portion of his immortal divine power, going all out.

The endless demonic sounds transformed into alluring whispers of the soul, completely drawing the five peak-level kings into an endless dream.

After gaining a basic understanding of time deceleration, Yu Duan was able to slow down the flow of time within the illusion.

A long time may pass in the real world, but only a few seconds may pass in the illusionary world.

Therefore, even if they possess the will of a cosmic sovereign, and are able to break free from the illusion.

Before they break free from the illusion, Yu Duan has enough time to easily control or destroy their souls.

"Condensing the Mind's Seal, solidify!"

With a thought, Yu Duan unleashed countless ethereal divine powers, eroding and penetrating the Heavenly Demon King's soul imprint, condensing a complex tree-shaped pattern on the opponent's soul level.

A moment later, with the soul enslavement complete, Yu Duan released the suppression of the Heavenly Demon King's soul.

"Owner!"

The Demon King bowed respectfully to Yu Duan.

"Okay, you will continue to infiltrate the Zerg camp."

"Yes, Master." The Demon King hurriedly replied, "Your subordinate will do his utmost to gather intelligence on the Zerg."

“I will personally enslave the Xuanxing King, and then you will enslave the remaining three.” As Yu Duan finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on the Heavenly Demon King’s face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!" the Heavenly Demon King hurriedly said.

Today's luck is simply incredible. Not only have I become a glorious soul servant of my great master, but I have also been bestowed with three soul servants at the peak of the King-level.

He has three soul servants at the peak of the King level, and he dares to fight even those at the limit of the King level.

This Xuanxing King possesses two profound spatial mysteries: spatial sealing and teleportation, and also has twice the amplitude of divine power.

Compared to the Crimson Blade King who previously supported Yu Duan, he was only slightly weaker.

With the two great mysteries of spatial sealing and teleportation, it will be much more convenient for Yu Duan to travel and do things in the future.

About ten minutes later, as Yu Duan completely released the illusion's suppression, the remaining four peak-level Kings regained consciousness.

All the immortal kings, including the former Wind Demon King, looked at Yu Duan with excitement.

Being able to serve an immortal god with Venerable-level combat power was an immense honor for each of them.

"Xuanxing, you will follow me from now on."

"Yes, Master!"

Yu Duan flipped his hand and put the Xuanxing King into his world ring, then looked at the Heavenly Demon King and said, "In the Zerg camp, are there any Kings who possess powerful treasures?"

"Heavy treasure?"

The Heavenly Demon King was taken aback, then quickly said, "As far as I know, in the Third Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the only one in the Zerg camp who openly possesses a great treasure is the Immortal-level Zerg Queen, Nan Li!"

Within the Zerg race, there is no concept of bestowing titles or ranks upon an Immortal-level Zerg Queen.

Because every Zerg Queen needs to have a level of understanding of the laws comparable to that of a King in order to break through and become an Immortal.

This is why the Zerg Queen has become synonymous with power.

Each Zerg Queen, upon breaking through to the next level, starts stronger than most peak-level Kings thanks to the combined attack of millions of Zerg Kings and powerful soul attacks.

This is just a Zerg Queen who has just entered the Immortal realm. After at least tens of thousands of years of accumulation, every Zerg Queen is a figure who is almost invincible and has been crowned a king.

The reason is that there are too few Immortal-level Zerg Queens, whose status is even comparable to that of Alien Venerables within the Zerg Alliance.

As long as one can become an immortal-level queen, one can obtain a large amount of resources from the race, improve one's genes and soul amplitude, and greatly enhance one's combat power.

"The Immortal-level Zerg Queen, then forget about it."

Yu Duan is now desperately eager to acquire a powerful material defense artifact to compensate for his own deficiencies and shortcomings.

However, going head-to-head with the Immortal-class Zerg Queen is still too difficult.

Under the command of the Immortal-level Zerg Queen, a million-strong Zerg King Legion launched a combined attack, instantly unleashing energy that exceeded the King-level limit by more than a hundred times.

Not to mention that the opponent may also have an elite team composed of peak-level and ultimate-level soul servants.

Although Yu Duan's soul attack can be considered as a cosmic venerable-level combat power, it is impossible for him to instantly control a million-strong insectoid king army through an illusion.

A single combined attack from the enemy could melt even Yu Duan's G-class spaceship.

After all, it's just the most ordinary G-grade metal, which can only withstand an attack with 1000 million times the power of a World Lord.

"The evolution of the crystal requires a large amount of wealth. We need to enslave more high-level and peak-level Kings to earn 1 trillion Chaos Units of wealth first, and then retire."

Yu Duan didn't want to waste a lot of time on the battlefield outside the region.

With the Demon King hiding within the Zerg camp, Yu Duan could silently hunt down peak and advanced King-level Zerg members one by one.

A high-ranking king would have a net worth of at least 10 billion mixed units.

At the peak of the Kinghood, the starting point is hundreds of billions of Mixed Yuan units, and two or three hundred billion is normal.

One trillion mixed units, that seems like a lot.

It's not actually that far out of reach.

It should be noted that the number of peak-level Kings active in the Third Domain Battlefield consistently exceeds 1.

……

While Yu Duan was hunting down the immortal kings on a large scale.

In a virtual universe, within a special dimension, lies a vast conference hall.

Inside the conference hall, there are 108 ancient thrones.

On each ancient throne sits a majestic figure whose aura far surpasses that of an immortal king.

Among them were cosmic venerables from the human race, as well as venerables from other races within the Hong Alliance.

"We are summoning everyone now because, according to information from the extraterritorial battlefield military system, a powerful King-level Immortal has emerged in the human race, known as the Star Sword King. He has successfully killed a King-level Immortal and is qualified to join the Hong Alliance!"

"The detailed identity information of this Star Sword King is top secret, and it is impossible to verify whether he personally killed the King Immortal."

"Therefore, a meeting was held to discuss the matter."

As the imposing figure in golden armor finished speaking, strange expressions appeared on the faces of the other cosmic venerables.

Star Sword King?
I had never heard of it before; it just popped up out of nowhere.

Many of the cosmic venerables are shrewd individuals, judging from their top-secret identities and lack of any upbringing.

This Star Sword King is most likely a genius prince who has been carefully cultivated by one of the five top human forces and has successfully broken through to immortality.

Only those who possess the insights of a King-level being at the Realm Lord level are worthy of such a top-secret identity.

"This is the record of Star Sword King's military achievements."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cosmic venerable one in golden armor shared Yu Duan's military system data.

What comes into view is naturally the record of the initial large-scale hunt for those who were granted the title of Marquis and Immortal.

"The ability to hunt down Marquis-level Immortals on a large scale must belong to a King-level Immortal. However, according to the rules of the Hong Alliance, only by killing a King-level Immortal can one join the Hong Alliance."

"Looking at the back, the military merits increased by 100 trillion in one go, which should be because a high-ranking king was killed."

"I believe Star Sword King is qualified to join the Hong Alliance."

"Seconded."

"Seconded……"

Within the Hongmeng Alliance, the number of human members who have been granted the title of King is less than 100,000.

This led Yu Duan to believe that there were fewer than 100,000 King-level experts among the human race.

In fact, being crowned an immortal king is only the minimum requirement for joining the Hong Alliance. In addition, one also needs to have the record of killing an immortal king.

Nine out of ten newly appointed kings cannot kill beings of the same realm and are therefore ineligible to join the Grand Alliance.

Even if it were possible, it would mostly require treasures like the Fire God Source Crystal, and these treasures are not something that a newly appointed King without a background could afford.

"Since none of you have any objections, I will immediately arrange a delegation of envoys to invite Star Sword King to formally join my Hong Alliance."

"The meeting is adjourned. Please make yourselves at home."

As soon as the golden-armored human leader finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Immediately, the figures on the other thrones also withdrew from the virtual universe network.
