Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 104 Assassination of the Venerable One!

After Shen Mu killed Brenda, the operation to eliminate the "Chi Ming" organization officially began, and the next steps had to be swift.

Even if the Virtual Universe Company can completely block the transmission of messages and intelligence, as time goes by, the other six immortal gods of the Chi Ming organization will definitely find out.

Because people like them, who have a guilty conscience, will inevitably keep in touch regularly, and losing contact means that their deeds have been exposed.

Therefore, Shen Mu and the others from the Virtual Universe Company would not waste time on interstellar travel. Long before they took action, the Fourth Army Lord had already arranged for the relevant immortal gods to hide in the star fields near these immortal-level targets.

After Brenda was killed, the divine kingdom teleportation was used to traverse many medium-sized universe nations and arrive at the star system where the second target, "Barry," was located.

As an immortal god with combat power comparable to Brenda, Shen Mu could easily kill him by simply using his Azure Dragon clone.

The following day, on the third day of the operation, another immortal military lord fell at Shen Mu's hands.

This time, the target possesses 300 times the power of a Realm Lord, so just in case, Shen Mu dispatched a clone of the Flame God Clan.

There's not much to say about the result; the opponent's immortal divine body was easily annihilated by the powerful foundational force.

……

Day 6 of the operation, the Krades asteroid belt in the Zengyao star system.

Towering white vines swept across the sky and earth, intertwining to form a gigantic hollow sphere. The golden veins on the leaves burst forth with dazzling light, and the entire vine almost transformed into gold, with incomparably sharp golden energy fluctuations covering and filling the starry sky.

Under the starry sky, the triangular spaceship floated quietly.

The Fourth Army Commander and Elder Sifanqi stood under the starry sky, gazing at the enormous star-eating grass vines in the distance.

"This target possesses 700 times the power of a Realm Lord, approaching the peak of an Immortal Military Lord. Your Highness should be alright, right?"

Si Fanqi was somewhat worried. Their Golden Horn tribe wasn't considered powerful among the vassal races of the human race. If, due to his mistake, the human race lost such a heaven-defying genius who could kill an immortal being, the consequences would be...

Upon realizing this, a faint look of anxiety appeared in Terafan Ki's eyes.

Suddenly, a unique, ancient, and eternal aura emanated from the space shrouded by countless Star-Eating Grass vines and leaves.

The aura was faint, neither heavy nor powerful, yet it made both Terafan Ki and the Fourth Army Commander feel an indescribable sense of awe and grandeur.

"This aura..." Terafan Ki looked slightly shocked.

The Fourth Army Commander, on the contrary, remained much calmer. A treasure capable of releasing such an ancient aura was certainly not something an Immortal Army Commander of the mere Chi Ming Organization could possess.

This must be the trump card that Prince Shen Mu used to kill the Immortal Army Lord.

A moment later, the ferocious star-eating grass vines that had been spreading and dancing in the void contracted wildly, revealing Shen Mu's figure.

"Your Highness!"

The Fourth Army Commander and Terafan Ki went to greet them.

Shen Mu smiled, his face somewhat pale, and said, "I have successfully completed my mission. The remaining two targets are both Marquis-level Immortals, and we will need the two of you to take action personally."

The title of Immortal Marquis can burn divine power to amplify one's attack a thousandfold; the two are not even in the same league.

Even with the protection of the armored avatar of the Flame God Clan, the only possible outcome of facing the peak attack of a Marquis-level expert burning divine power is death.

"Your Highness, please rest assured," said Terabuki with a solemn expression.

The Fourth Army Commander nodded slightly. Currently, over a hundred immortal powerhouses from the entire Fourth Army Corps are lying in ambush near the branches of the Chi Ming Organization in various star regions.

Once these seven immortal core members are killed, the first thing to do is to eradicate the entire Chi Ming organization.

That night, Shen Mu's spaceship arrived at the location of the sixth target, Kaman.

This Marquis Immortal, who was even more powerful than Teacher Huyanbo, had his entire divine body annihilated under the bombardment of Sifanqi's raging hammer. He couldn't even muster a gesture of resistance; they were simply not on the same level.

Meanwhile, under the jurisdiction of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, there is a medium-sized universe kingdom called the Xuesheng Empire.

The most powerful force in this medium-sized cosmic nation is not the imperial family, but the Chiming Holy Land.

Within the vast divine realm spanning millions of kilometers, there stands a majestic temple suspended in mid-air.

"Kaman has also gone missing!"

"Wow, that's fast! One a day! No wonder it's a Virtual Universe company!"

"Your Highness Shen Mu, it's my turn next!"

On the throne sat a man whose body was covered in fine scales, which appeared purple and green from different angles. A strange smile appeared on his slightly ferocious face.

Chi Ming had long known that the Virtual Universe Company was purging his forces, and even decades ago when Chi Ming's organization was exposed, it was a deliberate act of revealing its weaknesses.

He was merely a lowly bait, willing to sacrifice anything as long as his great master could achieve his plan!

"Hehehe..."

Chi Ming chuckled sinisterly a few times, and a black robe appeared out of thin air, enveloping him.

The next instant, a dense divine light surged from his body, and a passage to a divine kingdom appeared.

At the other end of this divine realm passage lies an even more vast and immense divine realm, which is the headquarters of the Zerg spies hidden within the territory of the Northern Miasma Universe Kingdom.

"Has Shen Mu arrived yet?"

A majestic voice resounded directly through the void, without relying on any medium such as telekinesis or the Force, and was magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Inside the passage, the figure of a powerful alien warrior, covered in keratin and clad in ancient black armor, emerged.

Chi Ming, clad in black robes, knelt humbly on the ground and respectfully spoke in a loud voice: "Lord Jueguang, Shen Mu will arrive at my planet within a day at most."

"Besides you, our great master has arranged for two other peak-level King-level experts to hide on my planet."

Venerable Jueguang nodded slightly, his gaze turning cold as he looked into the distance.

"Hopefully, I won't have to take action this time."

Venerable Jueguang's eyes grew increasingly cold. He, a dignified cosmic venerable, was actually going deep into the territory of the human race to assassinate a junior at the domain lord level.

In fact, although the Zerg Alliance initially had a high opinion of Shen Mu, they did not intend to actually send a Cosmic Venerable to assassinate him.

Until the Zerg received the latest intelligence, it was suspected that Shen Mu had personally killed five immortal gods.

Whether Shen Mu possesses an extremely high genetic multiplier, or has an exceptionally high level of mastery of the laws, or has used other treasures, the fact that he was able to kill an Immortal while being a Domain Lord is already incredible enough.

Under normal circumstances, an immortal could kill a domain lord with a single slap. Even with powerful protective treasures, it wouldn't matter. A power exceeding a domain lord's by 100,000 times, even if weakened, would still kill the domain lord with its recoil.

Therefore... the priority of assassinating Shen Mu was raised again, which led to the deployment of Venerable Jueguang.

As for why Venerable Jueguang was dispatched, it's because Venerable Jueguang is one of the few Venerables in the Zerg Alliance who possesses clones. He is also one of the few who is proficient in soul attacks.

Combining the two conditions, it is most appropriate to let Venerable Jueguang carry out the assassination. Even if it fails, the loss will only be the loss of a clone, and the Zerg will at most provide some resources to make up for it.

No matter how powerful the Zerg are, they would never force the strongest member of a vassal race to risk their life to assassinate a genius of the human race unless absolutely necessary.

If this is done, the Zerg Alliance will not be far from disintegration.

……

Fourteen hours later in cosmic time, at the spatial coordinates of the Chiming Divine Kingdom, a triangular spaceship emerged from the dark universe.

Inside the spaceship's control room, Shen Mu glanced at their current location and said, "According to intelligence, this should be the location of Chi Ming's divine kingdom. I request that the military commander and elders work together to tear open the spatial rift and find Chi Ming's divine kingdom."

Terafan Ki laughed and said, "Leave it to me. Although my understanding of spatial strangulation is not profound, it is still slightly better than that of the military commander."

This statement is very modest. The Fourth Military Lord is merely a Marquis of Immortality, and he has only comprehended the changes in the Space Sealing lineage. He knows nothing about Space Strangulation.

Therefore, in terms of tearing space, he was far less adept than Terahan Ki.

call out!

Golden light flashed, and Terafan Ki used teleportation to appear in the void, whereupon a ferocious hammer appeared in his palm.

Boom!

Endless, dazzling golden divine power surged from the great hammer, and in an instant, the great hammer resembled a golden sun, shattering space itself.

The raging immortal divine power spread out, and cracks instantly appeared in the void, with spatial turbulence surging within them.

In the dim light, one can see a magnificent and vast divine kingdom hidden in the interlayer of space.

Before Terabaki could even charge into the divine kingdom, a terrifying divine light burst forth from within it, no weaker than Terabaki's.

At the same time, a dense surge of divine power suddenly erupted from a calm meteorite behind Shen Mu's spaceship.

The entire meteorite shattered, and a pale blue immortal crystal shone brightly. Its radiance merged with space, forming a spatial passage.

A terrifying, immortal pressure emerged from the divine kingdom passage, its aura even surpassing that of Terafan Ki, who was at the peak of the King-level realm.

"Oh no...it's an assassination attempt by aliens!"

With a wave of his right hand, the seven Marquis-level Golden Horn Clan members from the World Ring instantly flew out.

"His Highness Shen Mu is in danger! Go and protect His Highness Shen Mu!"

Terabaki immediately wanted to use teleportation to get inside Shen Mu's spaceship, but before he could react...

An invisible wave suddenly spread from Chi Ming's divine kingdom to the surrounding void, completely concealing all spatial fluctuations and making teleportation impossible.

"Space Lockdown!"

Si Fanqi grinned furiously. If His Highness Shen Mu were to perish because of this alien assassination attempt, then his Golden Horn Clan would surely be held accountable by the Human Virtual Universe Company!

"You've reached the pinnacle of your kingship, quite impressive. Stay and play with me for a while."

A ferocious figure, over thirty meters tall, emerged from the Chiming Divine Kingdom and relentlessly entangled Sifan Qi.

……

Meanwhile, inside the spaceship's control room, the Fourth Military Commander immediately noticed the alien assassination attempt.

Although he reacted quickly and immediately activated his divine power to try to send Shen Mu into his divine kingdom, he was also blocked by a spatial seal and was unable to open the divine kingdom passage.

Under the starry sky, a powerful alien being, about three meters tall, covered in black keratin and with eight soft black tentacles on his face, emerged.

The terrifying aura spread out immediately, locking onto Shen Mu.

"Master, it's the Skeleton Needle King of the Ba Remnant Clan, belonging to the Zerg faction!"

Inside the control room, the piercing alarm echoed, and Tuanzi's anxious voice rang out.

"According to the virtual universe system, the Skull Needle King is a powerful being at the peak of the King-level realm, and most importantly, he is the soul servant of the Immortal-level Zerg Queen 'Southern Punishment'!"

As if confirming Tuanzi's information, a huge dark golden mother nest appeared in the void at the same time as Tuanzi's voice fell.

One can vaguely see a stunningly beautiful figure, her delicate body as white as crystal, appearing translucent.

Immortal-class Zerg Queen, Nan Cheng!

Within the Zerg race, there is no concept of bestowing titles of nobility or kingship, because every Immortal-level Zerg Queen, once she achieves Immortality, is a Soul Master comparable to the peak level of kingship in the human race.

The Zerg Queen Nan Cheng is a veteran Immortal, with several King-level Limit and King-level Peak figures under her command. If she were to unleash the Zerg's Legion Combo Technique, she would possess combat power approaching that of an invincible King.

"Suppress them!"

Skull Needle King unleashed his full power, perfectly combining his Immortal Domain and Spatial Lockdown to envelop Shen Mu's spaceship.

The entire space seemed to freeze at this moment. Even with the performance of Shen Mu's F-class spaceship, it was impossible for it to accelerate to the speed of light under the pressure of this domain and space.

Boom!

One after another, enormous golden Zerg warriors flew out of the hive, densely packed, instantly filling millions of kilometers of space around them.

These golden insectoid warriors are mainly divided into two categories. One type has the physique of a primate, about thirty or forty meters tall, covered in armor made of scales, and has a pair of huge compound eyes that resemble those of a dragonfly.

Another type is somewhat similar to Hu Feng, but its head and body are covered with dense golden eyes, giving it a Cthulhu-esque feel.

moment!

The starry sky became a golden ocean, and the aura it emitted caused the surrounding space to tremble.

Thousands of ferocious golden insectoid warriors extended their sharp, mosquito-like proboscis, the tips of which began to condense a blinding white light.

Wow!

Thousands of blinding white beams shot out instantly, with every hundred beams converging at a single coordinate in the sky!

Boom!

The point where the beams of light converged exploded, revealing a terrifying spatial turbulence. Various chaotic fragments and shattered spaces surged forth!

Ultimately, all the beams of light, using Shen Mu's location as their coordinates, instantly collided and unleashed their full power.

The shaking of space was like a domino effect, spreading directly in all directions, both above and below ground!

In an instant, it was like a supernova explosion!

A massive sphere of light, spanning over ten million miles, enveloped Shen Mu's spaceship!

"No!"

Even though he was burning his divine power, Terabaki, who was intercepted from afar, roared angrily.

The combined attack of these thousands of immortal-level racial warriors had reached the limit of the King-level realm. Shen Mu's F-class peak spaceship was definitely unable to stop it and would be melted into nothingness in an instant.

call!

Suddenly, a dazzling azure light burst forth from the enormous sphere of light, spanning millions of kilometers.

A clear, cold voice spread out.

"Nan Cheng, it's been hundreds of thousands of years since we last met, and you haven't made any progress at all."

"With your combined attack technique, you can never become a true invincible king."

An extremely cold wave swept out instantly, freezing the entire dazzling sphere of light, which then cracked and dissipated into space.

Above Shen Mu's spaceship stood a beautiful woman clad in jade armor; it was none other than the Jade King.

At this moment, the jade armor on Longyu King's body shone with a soft azure light, forming a seemingly ethereal light blue protective shield that protected the surrounding 500-meter space.

This jade armor is a true treasure, and although Longyu King's divine body is not as good as Zhenyan King's and his actual strength is somewhat lacking, it can still be considered his invincible reliance as a king.

"I stopped her! Skull Needle, go kill Shen Mu!"

When Nan Cheng saw Longyu King, his face turned cold, and he immediately ordered his soul servant to kill Shen Mu.

"Hehe, it seems this old bone of mine still has to make an appearance."

A hoarse voice rang out, and Te Chen, dressed in white linen, flew out of Shen Mu's world ring, then transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight toward the Skull Needle King.

Terahan Ki, standing in the distance, stared in disbelief.

"These two human powerhouses... are incredibly strong!"

"With two such powerful Immortal Grandmasters protecting His Highness Shen Mu, it seems this assassination attempt by the alien race is doomed to fail!"

Although his strength was only passable among the peak of the King-level, his eyesight was decent, and he could tell how powerful Longyu King and Techen were.

At this moment, deep within the void, Venerable Jueguang, clad in black battle armor, looked at the dark-colored spaceship.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

"Sacrificing an avatar of a Universe Venerable just to kill a mere Domain Lord-level brat—you have every reason to be proud!"

The next instant, a gigantic figure appeared out of thin air beneath the starry sky.

call out!

Time completely stopped in the surrounding area spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers!

Boom!

The Venerable Jueguang, clad in ancient black armor, lunged directly at Shen Mu at an extreme speed, as if the distance of millions of kilometers did not exist.

At this moment, Jueguang Zunhe directly burned his divine power, and his aura instantly surged a thousandfold.

The terrifying aura instantly shattered the space spanning millions of kilometers, even causing Chi Ming's divine kingdom to collapse under the pressure!

An overwhelming sense of crisis arose in Shen Mu's heart.

This was the third time Shen Mu had tasted the flavor of death!

"I thought you were hiding and had no intention of making a move."

"A cosmic master attacking my disciple? How shameless!"

A rumbling sound echoed through the starry sky, and a majestic figure gradually emerged, its face partially obscured by clouds and mist.
