Chapter 2073 Absolute Container
"Where are the items you sucked into it? Can I see them?" Han Sen asked Bao'er happily.
They were digested a long time ago," Bao'er said, blinking again.
Han Sen was speechless, and so he asked, "You just said you could release them."
Bao'er seemed a little indignant. "I can, but I have to know that they need to be saved. Otherwise, they will be digested by the gourd."
"Bao'er's little gourd might be able to catch that red cloud. But Bao'er has been in the sanctuary all this time, and I have yet to see her evolve. She can't be any greater than a Baron. There is no way she can absorb that Marquise red cloud," Han Sen thought.
Bao'er seemed to understand what Han Sen was thinking. She clapped her hands and the shiny gourd appeared between them. She said to Han Sen, "Dad, what would you like to claim? My gourd is powerful, and it can absorb anything."
"I will tell you another time." Han Sen touched Bao'er on the head, then teleported back to his Jade Island in Sky Palace. Han Sen wanted to find a chance to bring Bao'er there, so he could try out her gourd powers.
Bao'er had eaten many of the xenogeneic genes Han Sen had given her, but she still wasn't getting pushed out by the sanctuary. Because of that, she couldn't be too strong.
Han Sen cooked a xenogeneic material in a pot. The xenogeneic gene was almost too big to fit in the pot, but he choked it all down anyway and heard the announcement.
"Marquise Gene 1"
The pot of meat must have weighed at least one hundred kilograms. Although Han Sen had the ability of Consume, it still made him uncomfortable to eat all that at once. He gave up on eating for the evening.
"It looks like it's better to stick to smaller xenogeneic genes." As Han Sen was speaking to himself, someone outside the island called his name.
Han Sen stepped out. He saw White Real high above, riding a bird made of wood. When Han Sen stepped outside, White Real brought it down to land on the island.
"Brother Han, come with me quick!" White Real jumped off the bird and grabbed Han Sen, pulling him to the creature. "Brother White, what's going on?" Han Sen asked, with obvious confusion.
As they mounted, White Real said, "Our leader is inviting you to Sky Path Garden. He wants you to help us refine the Blood Feather Knife."
"He's asking me to help? I'm no good with that sort of thing. What am I supposed to do?" Han Sen was shocked. Surely the things he had learned couldn't compare to the combined minds that already worked in Sky Path Garden.
If Bai Yishan was there, perhaps he could make worthwhile contributions to their research. Han Sen knew some things, but not to that level.
Plus, there was a big difference between the geno arts of the sanctuary and the geno arts of the geno universe. They couldn't really be talked about as if they were the same thing.
The geno arts Han Sen had in the sanctuaries were edited, and they were different from their geno universe equivalents. He also had to refine xenogeneic treasures to make them work.
"Brother Han, don't be so humble! You were able to remove the xenogeneic blood from the knife. You are good at this. Let's go. The leader and the others are waiting for you." White Real pushed Han Sen atop the wooden bird, and then they took off towards Sky Path Garden.
When they arrived, Han Sen explained to them that he had only been able to remove the xenogeneic blood because his geno art was compatible with it. Han Sen did not know how to refine a xenogeneic treasure or craft a deified treasure.
The head researcher smiled and said, "Don't worry, Han Sen. We have invited you here so you can be a part of the refinement process. If we find some leftover blood while we are refining it' we will require your assistance. Otherwise, our work will be wasted."
Han Sen told them there was not a single drop of blood left, but the elders that worked with the leader were worried that there might still have been some. So, they asked him to stay.
Fortunately, Sky Path Garden did not ask anything more of him. Han Sen just sat in the refinement room, listening to the commands issued by the head researcher.
Han Sen had nothing to do, so he practiced with his Jadeskin. He also watched the refinement process for the Blood Feather Knife. He learned a lot.
The Blood Feather Knife was placed inside a crystal container. Han Sen thought they'd use blacksmithing techniques and fire to change the blade.
He was wrong. There wasn't even the slightest spark.
The white feather knife was placed in a container. They cleansed the container, put the knife inside, and removed all the air within it. Then they lowered the temperature as far as they could.
As the temperature dropped, the Blood Feather Knife looked like it was being crystallized. In the end, the entire knife appeared to be entirely crystal, just like the container itself.
One of Sky Path Garden's teachers used an instrument to check the Blood Feather Knife and frowned. "The temperature is not low enough. We cannot activate the power of the Blood Feather Knife."
Han Sen, after four days of being there, had heard the same thing a thousand times. They tried to lower the knife's temperature, but they could never hit the depths they required.
Han Sen didn't know why they wanted to lower the temperature, but he saw a lot of secret cold element geno arts.
They were really scary. Other materials would crumble easily at such temperatures, but the knife seemed just fine.
That crystal container is impressive. It can endure such incredible cold without breaking," Han Sen said quietly to himself.
White Real's ears were sharp, though. He heard Han Sen's statement and said proudly, "Brother Han, you are right! The container is good. This is the only deified item that belongs to Sky Path Garden."
"That thing is deified?" Han Sen was shocked to hear this. He knew it was very durable, but he never expected it to be deified.
"Its name is Absolute Container, and it has a whole lot of uses. Many of our high-tier treasures are refined inside it. Half of the King class weapons in Sky Palace were made in there," White Real said seriously.
Han Sen started to ask something else, but the head researcher spoke glumly. "It looks like our power isn't enough to reduce the item's temperature to what the knife needs. Old Dong, please go to White Jade City and invite him to join us."
"Will he come?" Old Dong looked depressed.

Chapter 2074 Child Combine Liquid
"Take these vials of Child Combine Liquid, and he will come," said the head researcher. Talking about the Child Combine Liquid made his face twitch. It looked as if he had gotten a sudden toothache.
"Isn't it a waste to give him that?" Old Dong and the other teachers were in shock.
"Do you know of any other ways to lower the Blood Feather Knife's temperature to the level we need?" Sky Path Garden's leader looked at everyone there, but they were all speechless.
"Go. Take the Child Combine Liquid, like you would to give a dog a treat." The head researcher sighed.
Old Dong did not say anything. He just clenched his teeth and left the research room.
"What is Child Combine Liquid?" Han Sen asked White Real. He was not interested in who the leader was inviting. It was obviously someone with a powerful ice-element, and beyond that, Han Sen didn't really care.
But that Child Combine Liquid sounded powerful, and it snagged Han Sen's curiosity.
White Real quietly told Han Sen, "Child Combine Liquid is the formulation of one of our primary fields of research. It takes many high-level xenogeneic ingredients to produce, and it requires a synthesizing process that is extremely complicated. It aids high-class xenogeneics in evolving. If a King class kept on consuming the Child Combine Liquid, there is a high chance he could become deified."
"It's that strong?" Han Sen was shocked. It was shocking that a King class could so simply be made deified.
"It would require a lot of luck, but it's theoretically possible. On the other hand, raising a Duke to King class? That's easy. Our test record for accomplishing this is a mere ten vials of Child Combine Liquid," White Real boasted.
"It's no wonder that Sky Palace is so strong. You can make Kings like that? How many do you have?" Han Sen asked with shock.
"One." White Real lifted one finger. Han Sen froze, so White Real continued. "It is hard to find ingredients for Child Combine Liquid, mind you. We have only made around twenty of them, and we use some for testing. And that King used ten bottles. There are only seven or eight left. We have exhausted our supply of ingredients."
Han Sen thought to himself, "If you can't mass produce something, what is the point of creating it?"
White Real seemed to guess what Han Sen was thinking. "We can't make Child Combine Liquid in large volumes, but with a few alterations, we can create a xenogeneic liquid that works on normal xenogeneics. If you drink a lot, a Marquise can become a Duke. An Earl could become a Marquise easily. Many of us are using it."
Because the person had yet to arrive, the refinement process had stopped. They waited all morning for Old Dong to return, and when he did, he brought someone with him. It was Yu Shanxin.
"Mister Yu!" Han Sen exclaimed, bowing quickly.
"Why are you here?" Yu Shanxin was holding a dog. That dog did not look energized, though. Its tail drooped and its fur was scraggly.
Han Sen had seen many dogs like that. It looked like any malnourished dog you might find wandering dirty streets, but there was no way an elite like Yu Shanxin would carry a being in such a poor state. Perhaps it was a high-class xenogeneic that just looked like a dog. Perhaps the creature was King-class or half-deified.
"The leader has asked me to help refine the Blood Feather Knife," Han Sen said.
"I see. How much did the leader pay you?" Yu Shanxin asked with a smile.
"That's what a student should do," Han Sen answered quickly. The leader hadn't given him any money, and he had been dragged there by White Real.
Yu Shanxin patted Han Sen on the shoulder and smiled. "You and I are the same. We are good people."
Before Han Sen could say anything more, Yu Shanxin looked at the head researcher and said, "Leader, are you going to pay me for my efforts here?"
"Do not worry, I won't change what we agreed upon," the old man grunted.
"Then give it to me now. I don't work unless I see payment first." Yu Shanxin put out his hand. He seemed surprisingly stingy.
"Give it to him," the old researcher barked, grinding his teeth. He was talking to Old Dong again.
Old Dong looked hurt. He opened up a box, and in it, there were seven containers. Each one held two hundred milliliters of juice. Old Dong carefully picked up one and held it out to Yu Shanxin, but the man hastily grabbed another four before taking the one Old Dong had.
"Five of them. I have not taken any more nor any less," Yu Shanxin told Old Dong and the leader. Both of them were looking ill.
Han Sen looked at the Child Combine Liquid in Yu Shanxin's hands. It was a transparent liquid, and it didn't look all that special.
"Old Wang, this is some good stuff," Yu Shanxin said to the dog. He opened one of the bottles and poured out the contents for the dog to consume.
The dog immediately got up and started lapping up all the Child Combine Liquid. It licked its lips, as if it was saying,
"My lips aren't moist enough. You should give me another."
Yu Shanxin opened up another vial and poured it out for the dog called Old Wang.
Old Wang lapped up the Child Combine Liquid again.
"Can you stop wasting it!" Old Dong burst out, unable to contain his anger.
"Leader, what is wrong with him? These vials are mine. What have I done wrong now?" Yu Shanxin looked at the leader with confusion.
The leader simply waved his hand at Old Dong, signaling him to stop talking. He then said to Yu Shanxin, "You've been paid, and now you should work. No one will say anything after you are done working, even if you pour the stuff in the garbage."
Yu Shanxin smiled. He opened two more vials, one in each hand. Then, he gave them both to Old Wang at once. Old Wang drank it all up. Yu Shanxin wasn't going to respect the leader just yet; he was going to use up all the Child Combine Liquid first.
"It looks like Old Wang is full. This last one is pointless to have. Take it." Yu Shanxin threw the last vial of Child Combine Liquid to Han Sen.
Han Sen caught it. He was surprised to see Yu Shanxin give away something so precious. Han Sen wished to say something, but Yu Shanxin stretched his limbs and then said, "Okay, time to work."
He walked over to the Absolute Container and touched it. The other researchers all started to look nervous as they returned to work.
When Yu Shanxin pressed his hand against the crystal container, it created a hole to allow his hand inside. The container then tightened again around his arm. The container was again sealed against contaminants.
Yu Shanxin touched the Blood Feather Knife, and there was a katcha katcha noise. It sounded like ice was being broken.

Chapter 2075 Get Pregnant with Just a Rub?
Ice crystals kept spreading across the Blood Feather Knife, and it looked as if everything within the vacuumed container was going to freeze. The ice crystals grew, branching out like blood vessels. It was scary to watch.
"Yu Shanxin must be half-deified. If he wasn't, there's no way he could freeze the vacuum." Han Sen was surprised.
Everyone watched as the ice powers spread through the container, freezing even the empty space within it. In the end, it was all frozen. It looked like a perfect crystal ball.
The Absolute Container was shining, and something seemed to be moving within the ice. Something was fighting against the cold powers.
The researchers were fortunate that the Absolute Container was deified. Despite their strength, the cold powers weren't leaking out of the container.
Yu Shanxin pulled his hand out of the container. He looked as ordinary as ever, and his hand showed no sign of the incredible cold that he had just released.
"My work is done here. Let's go, Old Wang," Yu Shanxin said, then pulled the dog Old Wang away. When he passed by Han Sen, Yu Shanxin said quietly, "Why are you still standing here? Don't interrupt their research."
Han Sen cocked his head, then followed Yu Shanxin to leave.
The researchers inside Sky Path Garden got back to work. Some of them saw Han Sen leave with Yu Shanxin, but no one thought to stop him.
"Mister Yu, do you have a grudge with the head researcher?" Han Sen asked curiously.
"Call me Yu Shanxin." Yu Shanxin carried Old Wang as they walked, and he went on to say, "There is no grudge. I just don't like the way they do things."
"How do they do things?" Han Sen asked again.
"Do you know what Child Combine Liquid is made of?" Yu Shanxin looked at the vial in Han Sen's hand as he asked.
"No, I don't know. This is the first time I've heard of this item, actually," Han Sen said.
"Child Combine Liquid uses thousands of unborn xenogeneic babies as an ingredient. There are intelligent creatures in there, like you and me." Yu Shanxin looked at Han Sen and smiled.
Han Sen raised the Child Combine Liquid to the light so he could take a look at it. He was surprised to hear this, and so he said, "Where do these ingredients come from?"
"They come from the creatures that the members of Sky Path Garden capture. They do tests on them. What do you think?" Yu Shanxin asked. He noticed Han Sen was not having much of a reaction,which interested him.
"I am a sinner with hands stained in blood. I cannot judge them." Han Sen shook his head.
Yu Shanxin laughed. He patted Han Sen on the shoulder and said, "This is why I hate those people, but they are the ones that make Sky Palace as strong as it is. I just don't like it. Still, it doesn't matter. I'm a useless nobody here, and that's just that."
Yu Shanxin left after that, still carrying Old Wang. He disappeared amongst the islands somewhere.
"Why did he tell me that?" Han Sen looked at the Child Combine Liquid and sighed. He was not very noble himself, as he had killed so many. But after Yu Shanxin spoke about the ingredients inside the vial, he didn't think he could bring himself to drink it.
"Never mind; I'll just give it to the others." Han Sen put away the Child Combine Liquid and went to the general service area.
Han Sen researched the rules of Sky Palace. If he wanted to bring Bao'er here, legally, he'd need to go to the general service. Han Sen asked the people there how he might bring another person into Sky Palace, and it turned out to be an easier process than Han Sen had expected.
Han Sen's rank of Teacher was useful in many different ways in Sky Palace. With that title, he could invite his family to come and live with him. Without that title, no parent or spouse could ever visit him here.
But annoyingly, if he said Bao'er was his daughter, then they'd need to do a DNA test. Han Sen didn't know exactly how the test would be conducted, but there was no way the results would tell them that Bao'er was indeed his actual daughter.
But according to the laws of Sky Palace, aside from parents and grandparents, only wives and kids were allowed to reside with a Teacher.
"It looks like I still can't bring Bao'er into Sky Palace." Han Sen felt depressed.
The only other way was for Han Sen to make additional contributions to Sky Palace and gain the approval of at least half of the elders. Han Sen could also ask for the leader's approval, but attempting that seemed unrealistic.
His discoveries had made him curious about Bao'er's DNA, though. He had Bubble take on his appearance and go to sleep on Jade Island. Then, he went back to the Alliance and visited Bao'er. He took one of her hairs and went for a DNA test, wanting to see if her genes looked like any creature in particular.
The DNA tests in the Alliance were rather advanced, but Bao'er herself had come out of a gourd. None knew what her genes were like.
Han Sen almost bought the entire planet and made the testing place a temporary home. He walked in front of the gene tester and put Bao'er's hair inside so he could conduct the test.
Not long after, the test results were released. The results were printed upon a sheet of paper, and what he saw made his eyes widen.
The DNA test printout read, "Father and Daughter."
"D*mn, what a broken machine! And I just bought this thing… Who made this piece of sh*t? Ah, I see. It is Starry Group! I'll complain to Ning Yue later." Han Sen did not believe the results, so he did the same test on another DNA tester. The results almost made his eyes fall out. All the tests were the same, telling him that he and Bao'er were father and daughter.
"This is impossible." Han Sen swore he had never cheated with a gourd before. How could the results indicate that he and Bao'er were genetically related?
Han Sen looked at the report carefully. Bao'er's genes had a 99.99% match with his. Aside from them actually being father and daughter, there was no other explanation.
"How is this possible?" Han Sen looked at Bao'er, who was looking innocent and unsure of what to say.
You can get pregnant with just a rub?" Han Sen remembered that after he picked up the gourd, he used to fiddle with it while he thought. Aside from that, though, he couldn't think of any way they could have formed this connection.
But now, Han Sen had to admit that Bao'er was his actual daughter.
Han Sen quickly destroyed all the test results. He took Bao'er by the shoulders and smiled. "Bao'er, let's not tell mom that we came here for testing."

Chapter 2076 Back to Narrow Moon
Han Sen submitted an application at the general services building, requesting that his daughter be allowed to join him in Sky Palace. He received permission, and so he left Sky Palace and returned to Planet Eclipse to pick her up.
Han Sen was careful not to attract attention on the trip, and his return voyage was not impeded by troubles. He brought Bao'er into the geno universe half-way, and then went to Narrow Moon.
He took Bao'er to meet Yisha, who quickly grew fond of her. She allowed Bao'er to stay on Planet Blade, while Han Sen went back to Planet Eclipse.
Han Sen knew that Yisha intended to investigate Bao'er. The Rebate did not have strictly enforced rules like Sky Palace, but they wouldn't allow someone unknown to occupy a high level district.
It wasn't as if she was an ordinary immigrant, either. Relatives of an important person required some testing to see how far along they themselves might have progressed.
Han Sen wasn't worried, though. Bao'er was incredibly smart, and he was sure she'd have no problems.
Back on Planet Eclipse, Xie Qing King, Gu Qingcheng, and the others had all become Earls. Zero, Dragon Lady, Han Meng'er, Little Angel, and Wang Yuhang were Earls, too.
Han Sen's friends had geno arts that were easier to level up than The Story of Genes, and they did not have to practice four different geno arts at the same time, either. In combination with the many resources of Planet Eclipse, this allowed them to level up quickly.
"Old Han! We are already Earls, and the resources on Planet Eclipse can't support us beyond Marquise. We would like to explore and practice off-world." Xie Qing King told Han Sen.
Gu Qingcheng, Wang Yuhang, and Dragon Lady wished to do the same. Han Sen agreed to let them practice someplace else, but he also tasked them with recruiting. That way, Han Sen could bring more people from the Alliance, when they returned.
Perhaps it was because of the gold bird markings, but the refugees that populated Han Sen's base were now Baron nobles. He had enough people there, as well.
"Han Sen, I have heard about you killing Sharon and Dragon Thirteen, beating Dragon Nine in Return Ruin Sea… Your name is all over the geno universe! Everyone knows Knife Queen has a genius student named Han Sen now." Black Steel came to Planet Eclipse, looking troubled. He went on to say, "But until I become a Duke, Father won't allow me to leave Narrow Moon. I really want to go and explore with you."
"If you want to practice, Narrow Moon is the same as anywhere else you could go. There's little difference. Compared to what I've been doing, I'd rather remain in Narrow Moon. I would stay here if I had a choice." Han Sen laughed.
"Don't say that. I'm not leaving, anyway," Black Steel sighed. "By the way, Rebecca is throwing a welcome party. I am here to invite you to come."
"I don't have a very good relationship with the people of Moon Garden. Why would they think of inviting me?" Han Sen was surprised.
Black Steel rolled his eyes. "Things are different now. You have earned a brilliant reputation out there, so now you're Narrow Moon's golden boy. No one wants a rivalry with you now. Given the absence of any grudges you might have been worried about, perhaps you should go and pay them a visit?"
"Sure. I'll take your advice." Han Sen smiled.
He went to Planet Moon Wheel with Black Steel. Rebecca, Du Lishe, and the heirs of other Kings were all gathered there.
This gathering was quite different from the knife events that Han Sen had attended before. Back then, no one cared for him. Everyone looked down on him, and they didn't bother speaking to him. But now things were different. Han Sen was like a visiting celebrity. The heirs of every King were very polite to him, constantly complimenting him. He talked to more people on that one night than in all the time he had lived in Narrow Moon before.
Han Sen had placed first in the Sky Palace exam and fought Lone Bamboo. He killed Sharon and Dragon Thirteen, and he also beat Dragon Nine. All those feats made Han Sen the first of a new generation of elites in the geno universe.
Although Han Sen had a low chance of ever becoming a King, it wasn't an impossible task. No one wanted to make him an enemy, either.
"Ha! It's only his fifteen seconds of fame. All of this is nothing to boast about. It's all for naught if he can't become a King, anyway." Sad Night, who was supposed to be the focus of the night's proceedings, was sitting in a corner and whining into his drink.
Night River King had the biggest grudge with Han Sen. Sad Night harbored one, too. He didn't like Han Sen becoming so famous.
"These guys are really short-sighted. They only see Han Sen's fame now. They aren't paying any attention to the difficulty Han Sen has leveling up his geno arts. There is no way he'll become a King. It's really funny how they're licking his boots now." Sad Night heard a voice. He turned around and saw a young Earl Rebate walking towards him with a drink.
Sad Night frowned. He did not recognize the young man. Perhaps it was someone of little renown. The young Earl raised a cup to Sad Night and said, "Mister Night, my name is Vikdo. Can I speak to you alone after the event?"
"What for?" Sad Night looked at him with disdain.
"I have a way in which you could beat Han Sen and take his fame for yourself. Are you interested?" Vikdo said.
You can do that?" Sad Night raised an eyebrow, but he didn't seem too interested in the young man's claim.
"I'm not an important person. There is no reason for you to be impressed by me. But you recognize this, don't you?" Vikdo pulled out his phone and showed Sad Night a video.
When Sad Night saw it, he looked stunned. He balked, "Where did you take this?"
"If you are interested, then let's resume speaking after the event concludes." Vikdo smiled.
After the event was over, Rebecca and Du Lishe escorted Han Sen out. They brought him right to the boarding ramp of his aircraft.
"Brother Han, if we have done something to upset you, it's because we acted foolishly. Please don't hold it against us," Rebecca said, then presented Han Sen with a box. "This is a gift we'd like you to accept. It is an apology, and a hope that you'll forgive us, for the way we mistreated you in the past."
"It's okay. Even friends argue sometimes. And I was new to Narrow Moon. I didn't know you guys," Han Sen said with a shrug.
"Even so, please take this. How about we be friends?" Rebecca smiled, placing the wooden box in front of him.
"You guys are so nice. Thank you!" Han Sen took the wooden box and smiled at them both.

Chapter 2077 Palm
Back on Planet Eclipse, Han Sen opened the box and found a small data card inside.
Han Sen plugged it into a computer so he could view whatever info was stored on it. He quickly found that all the files were on a skill titled Moonlight. The files explained that Moon Wheel, which Han Sen had already learned, was actually a part of Moonlight. Moon Wheel King had written the explanations himself, and he referenced all sorts of skills and experiences as he went.
Up until now, Han Sen had not been able to modify Moon Wheel because he had only been able to learn the skill in its most basic form. He had the soft technique named Moon down pat, so this information was very valuable to him. It was especially helpful to hear about Moon Wheel King's own experiences and techniques.
It was a priceless gift he had received. This wasn't something one could simply buy.
The final part of the teachings was when Moon Wheel King explained Moon. This was even more meaningful to Han Sen.
"This is a lofty gift to receive from Moon Wheel King." Han Sen knew that a gift like this wasn't something Rebecca and her sister could give to whoever they wanted. Moon Wheel King had approved this himself.
For the next two days, Han Sen remained on Planet Eclipse. Bao'er should have been returned two days ago, but Yisha said she had grown fond of Bao'er and wanted her to stay in the palace for a few more days.
Han Sen did not know if Yisha really liked Bao'er, or if she had actually uncovered something about her. Regardless, there was no use in worrying about it. He'd just wait for her to return home.
When Shadow King came back, Narrow Moon became the focus of many headlines. Shadow King, Night River King, Black Moon King, Moon Wheel King, and Knife Queen had recently explored an ancient high race ruin. The expedition had been extremely profitable.
During the excavation, an important item was unearthed. They brought it back with them, and for the month leading up to its unveiling, excitement swelled throughout Narrow Moon.
The ruins had been the home of an ancient deified being. There were many precious items inside, including a powerful geno art.
But that race was different from the Rebate, so the geno art was sent to Narrow Moon's equivalent of Sky Path Garden for research.
The item they brought back was a giant metal wall. The Rebate professor guessed that the ancient deified elite had practiced his geno art against the wall, using it like a punching bag.
It sounded like a simple tool, but any wall that could withstand deified powers without breaking was remarkable. It was composed of a very rare material, and the Rebate regarded it as quite the treasure.
There were many palm prints denting it, which they believed was the result of a geno art used against it. It was a scary geno art, and the palm prints still had a residue of the deified elite's will. Many Narrow Moon students went to see it, and many of them learned something from it.
Han Sen had nothing to do on Planet Eclipse except eat Marquise genes. He practiced a few geno arts, but he was growing restless and bored. If Knife Queen hadn't wanted to keep Bao'er in her palace, he would have already taken her to Sky Palace. Han Sen was eager to return to capturing the Jade Spirits in the White Jade Jing.
Han Sen brought Little Angel, Han Meng'er, and Zero with him to see the metal wall. When they arrived, Han Sen knew why the Rebate had not hidden its existence.
Unlike the small wall that Han Sen had envisioned, it was a blue metal cube nearly one thousand meters long. When he stood beside it, the block seemed the size of a mountain. Hiding it in a building would have been difficult.
There were many palm prints all across the blue metal cube. Some were shallow, whereas others were deep. Each palm print had five fingers, like a human's, but they were much bigger. Han Sen could lie down in one without bumping his head.
"This is a giant's relic, right?" Han Sen said, while examining the handprints.
"Probably. This item was discovered in ruins belonging to the Ligu. Judging from their bones, they were one hundred meters tall." Rebecca approached, with Du Lishe and the others behind her.
Sad Night was there, too. He looked at Han Sen with contempt.
"I see." Han Sen nodded. He looked at the prints, feeling a strange sensation as he did.
As he examined the palm prints, he got the impression that any of those strikes could have annihilated a galaxy. Even looking at the aftermath was shocking. It was like an endless number of stars had been broken by a hand, and the whole galaxy destroyed.
"Deified Ligu were very powerful. I don't know how long the blue metal cube has existed, but the will put into those palms is quite shocking," Han Sen praised.
"Han Sen, if you have found something, why don't you share it so we can learn?" Du Lishe asked with a blink.
Han Sen shook his head. "I haven't studied the prints. I feel the meaning behind them, but nothing more."
After Han Sen said that, a cold voice spoke. "Han Sen, you are too humble. Geniuses like you only require one look. You have had a few."
Han Sen glanced over at the speaker, and he saw that it was Night River King's son, Sad Night. He was not surprised.
Sad Night had been beaten by Xi Qing King, so it was likely that the young man still hated Han Sen and Xie Qing King. Han Sen didn't care for the man's insults, though.
"I am stupid. I cannot see anything. If you see something, perhaps it is you who should be telling us?" Han Sen said with a smile.
This was exactly what Sad Night wanted. He looked happy for a moment, before suddenly looking cold again. He said, "I took a brief look, too. I have some opinions to share that can get you guys started."
Rebecca and the others looked at him with surprise. Sad Night was talented and very bright. But they still did not believe he could be better than Han Sen. There was no way he could see what Han Sen could not, especially from such a brief look.
Sad Night could see that the others were wary, which just made him even less happy. This was his first time seeing the prints, just as it was for the others. He did have knowledge about them, but it wasn't something he had learned all by himself. However, as long as he could embarrass Han Sen, the source did not matter.

Chapter 2078 Password
Everyone focused on Sad Night. He walked around the blue metal cube, pretending that he was observing it.
After walking around it once, Sad Night said confidently, "If I am not mistaken, the handprints on the blue metal cube are a palm geno art."
"Sad Night, I think everyone knows that. We can all tell this is the work of a palm geno art. You don't have to say that!" The son of a King laughed.
Sad Night looked at that young Rebate and said, "Condensation, what I meant was… These prints don't appear across the cube at random. All these prints together make a complete geno art. You could tell that too, could you?"
"How am I supposed to know you're telling the truth? How do I know you're not lying?" Condensation looked at him with disdain.
Sad Night smiled and said, "These palmprints might look like a random mess, but that is because all of them are overlapping. According to the feelings I am picking up, I only need to find the beginning of the palm marks to line them up and… Who knows, maybe I can rebuild the skill?"
Han Sen was surprised. He had picked up on this too, but not with the certainty Sad Night was displaying.
"Did this guy suddenly become a genius?" Han Sen wondered.
Han Sen was familiar with Sad Night, and he didn't believe that the young Rebate had the intelligence or talent to come to this conclusion.
But the blue metal cube had only been revealed a short time ago, and Sad Night had not seen it before. It would have been difficult for him to gain knowledge of it from another source.
"Congratulations, Brother Night. The Night family has a smart heir," Black Moon King said politely to Night River King in a palace.
Night River King frowned. He knew his son well, and he was surprised by this sudden impressive performance. Night River King should have been happy that Sad Night was doing well, but he was suspicious about his knowledge, more than anything.
You can say whatever you want to. If you're as talented as you present yourself, find the starting palm and line them up. Recreate the skill for us." Condensation still didn't believe him.
Sad Night was waiting for someone to ask him this, and so he smiled and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it is correct. If anyone sees the beginning of it, then I will let them demonstrate."
After that, Sad Night looked at everyone. His eyes stopped at Han Sen, though, and so he coldly said, "Han Sen, you are so talented! I bet you understand, don't you? Why don't you show us where the beginning is?"
Han Sen shook his head. "I can't see anything. Please teach us."
"If no one else can explain, then I guess I will just have to embarrass myself." Sad Night walked in front of the metal block and went to one side of it. After a while, he spoke again with confidence. "If I'm correct, this is where the palm skill begins."
After that, Sad Night put his left hand into one of the prints. Then, he began striking the print with his own palms. He created some loud metal noises, but nothing broke.
Sad Night kept hitting that point and he said, "This palm is suitable for a wide performance of the skill. It elicits a galaxy-destroying feeling. This palm right here can destroy anything without mercy. It is very overbearing."
Anyone could say that, of course. As Sad Night struck the palm print, he did so smoothly. He did not look experienced, but he did explain the feelings well. His thinking was correct.
"I underestimated Sad Night. He has performed well!" Rebecca said with shock.
Rebecca wasn't the only one thinking this. The students in the garden' the Dukes, and the Kings were surprised performance.
Even the Kings and Dukes had only been able to tell that it was a skill. They could not go into such a detailed description. Sad Night was rebuilding a glimmer of that palm skill, and it was a brilliant feat.
Seeing everyone look surprised, Sad Night became cockier. He continued to perform. He hit tens of thousands of palm marks, and he didn't miss a single one. He flowed smoothly around the cube, and everyone admired his precision.
"This is the palm skill, from what I can see. Does anyone else have another opinion?" Sad Night was extremely full of himself by this point. He raised his head and looked down on Han Sen.
"Mister Night, you are good! That was beautiful," someone complimented him.
"It was just luck, I suppose. It was nothing. I'm not like some genius who can only feel things sometimes and not others." As Sad Night was talking, a katcha noise rang across the blue metal cube.
Everyone heard that noise, and they all turned to look at the cube. What they saw shocked even Sad Night.
He had watched the video Vikto had given him multiple times. The video had shown a person hitting the blue metal cube in a precise sequence. Sad Night had practiced repeatedly to become famous on this day.
But when the video finished the palming display, nothing was supposed to happen.
Katcha! Katcha!
Cracking noises continued to come from the blue metal cube, and the sounds were getting louder. Seams appeared on the edges of the cube, and it was cracking open.
"Is that palm skill a password that opens the blue metal cube?" Han Sen wondered.
Han Sen wasn't the only one thinking this; all the Kings were wondering as well. They did not know what inside the metal object, so they moved to the plaza, just in case.
Before Night River King could issue a command, the blue metal cube opened wide. A smaller blue metal cube was inside it. It was decorated with a variety of strange patterns.
Then the second blue metal cube began to disintegrate, and Han Sen realized that the pattern wasn't actually a pattern. It was many metallic limbs of creatures, all knotted together.
A swarm of metal monsters suddenly flew out of the cube. They were about half the size of a human, but they were all composed of blue metal. They stood on four legs, and they had claws on their hands and feet. Their heads were buglike, and their wings were metal, shaped like a dragonfly's.

Chapter 2079 Blue Gold Demon Bug
"Oh no! Run!" Han Sen screamed. He called for Little Angel, Zero, and Han Meng'er to fly away from the plaza and the metal monsters that had been unleashed.
Han Sen swept his Dongxuan Aura over them. Their presence felt murderous, like creatures that only sought destruction. They were very negative beings.
The weakest presence he could detect amongst the metal monsters was Earl class. But many of them were so powerful, it shocked even Han Sen.
Han Meng'er and the others weren't slow. They might have only been Earls, but their speed rivaled a Marquise. They were still slower than Han Sen, of course.
"What are these creatures, that dare to drop fecal matter all over my Narrow Moon!" Night River King seethed, as he swung the sleeves of his garment. An odd black power rolled out of his sleeves and headed towards the monsters. The blue metal monsters looked as if they were about to drown in it.
Boom!
A blue light flashed from that group of metal monsters, and a glowing monster emerged. It punched Night River King's Galactic Water, and its blue fist shattered Night River's attack completely.
"King class?" Night River King looked glum.
At that moment, a few more monsters appeared. They also had blue light around their heads, and they were all King class.
The Dukes and the other nobles of Narrow Moon felt their faces grow pale. Moon Wheel King was still excavating, so he was far away from Narrow Moon. The other kings had business to attend to, so they weren't in Narrow Moon either.
Right now, only Night River King, Black Moon King, Shadow King, and Yisha were close enough to help.
When the fight began, Shadow King and Yisha were quick to arrive. Yisha swept her knife towards a roaring King class blue metal monster.
The blue metal monster squealed, and it swung its blue fist at Yisha's incoming Teeth power.
Katcha! Katcha!
The blue fist light was shattered by the Teeth power. Knife air hit the blue metal monster, sending it flying away into space. A deep cleft was torn in the creature's chest, but no blood was drawn.
It was shocking that a creature could take Yisha's strike and not immediately die. She frowned and lifted her weapon to attack again. But before she could, a blue light flashed from within the metal group. One of the monsters appeared before her, completely glowing with that blue light. It had its fist raised to give her a big blue punch.
Yisha grunted and used Tusk. Her skill was purer than Han Sen's Teeth Knife. After that slash, the purple knife air was like a demon biting into the blue fist.
Boom!
The two powers collided with an explosion. The space of the region itself cracked, and things started to get sucked towards the fissure.
"Half-deified?" everyone thought in shock. The blue light monster was fighting Yisha perfectly well, with no sign of losing.
Before they could think of anything else, more blue metal monsters poured out of the cube. This was turning into a dire fight. The metal monsters flew up into space, seeking out other planets. They were branching out to assault all of Narrow Moon.
One metal monster had targeted Han Sen. Han Meng'er summoned an arrow and fired at it. The arrow went straight into the blue metal monster's eye and exploded.
Pang!
The arrow blew the blue metal monster's brain in half, but the creature was still swinging its fist.
Zero and Little Angel carried a Bone Dagger and a feathery sword respectively. They moved to intercept the blue metal monster's fist. They effectively blocked it, then chopped its arms off to avoid a repeat.
"My friends are scary! They are only Earl class, and even so, they can fight Marquise monsters." Han Sen grinned, pleased with his crew.
But the monster was still intent on coming, despite its broken brain and severed arms. The blue light still swirled around its legs.
Han Sen swung his Ghost Teeth Knife like mad, cutting the foe in half. The monster still writhed around on the ground for some time before it gave up the ghost.
"Xenogeneic Marquise hunted. Blue Gold Demon Bug: xenogeneic gene found."
The announcement played in Han Sen's brain. At the same time, Han Sen saw a blue crystal appear in the creature's head. It was around the size of an egg.
Han Sen grabbed the blue crystal, but there were many Blue Gold Demon Bugs coming. The battle was far and wide.
If an enemy tried to assault Narrow Moon in the traditional fashion, they could use their defenses to repel such an invasion. Even King class and half-deified sorts couldn't break in from the outside.
But the Blue Gold Demon Bug had come out from inside Narrow Moon. The low level nobles could not fight the Blue Gold Demon Bugs, and Yisha and the others were busy fighting their own combatants. The attack was swiftly throwing the entire system of Narrow Moon into chaos.
"How could this happen?" Sad Night stared around himself as if he was watching the apocalypse. He could not believe what was transpiring.
Over the course of a few minutes, many of the Rebate were killed. Explosions rattled the place. Cries and screams erupted from every which way.
Vikto! That *sshole Vikto!" Sad Night gritted his teeth. He wanted to find Vikto, who had given him the tape, but Vikto was nowhere to be seen. When he looked back over his shoulder, he saw a Blue Gold Demon Bug coming for him.
"What do we do now?" Zero asked as they retreated.
"Let's go to Planet Eclipse and try to fortify the base. There are many of these bugs, but they cannot destroy the entirety of Narrow Moon. We just need to protect our base and wait for Moon Wheel King to return." Han Sen whistled, and Little Star came to him in an instant.
A few people hopped onto Little Star's back, and it used Starsea Travel to deliver Han Sen back to Planet Eclipse.
Some Blue Gold Demon Bugs tried to give chase, but Little Star's body zipped right through them. Little Star had the ability to phase through any form of matter.
There were many Blue Gold Demon Bugs, but luckily, they weren't as threatening after they spread out across Narrow Moon. And none had yet come to Planet Eclipse. When Han Sen reached the base, he called for everyone to gather arms and prepare for battle. He also activated the base's defense systems.
Little Silver and the others followed Han Sen, readying themselves for combat.
Bzzt!
A Blue Gold Demon Bug broke through the atmosphere, reaching Planet Eclipse. It did not go for the base, though. It headed for a specific mountain that was known to be populated by xenogeneics.

Chapter 2080 Demon Bug Disaster
Han Sen thought the Blue Gold Demon Bug had an overwhelming urge to kill, and it had gone for the xenogeneics first because they were closest.
Han Sen summoned Spell as a sniper rifle and used the scope to track the Blue Gold Demon Bug as it flew above the xenogeneics. It opened its mouth and let out a high-pitched screech.
In the next second, the eyes of the xenogeneics all turned red. The mass of xenogeneics began to churn, stirring themselves into a frenzy. And when the Blue Gold Demon Bug screamed again, they all started stampeding towards the base.
"Oh no! The Blue Gold Demon Bugs can control xenogeneics? I hope they can only control the low-intelligence variety. If they can take over the big ones, Narrow Moon is done for." Han Sen took aim with his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger without hesitation. A bullet was fired, and it went speeding into the Blue Gold Demon Bug's left eye.
The bullet perforated the bug's eyeball and became lodged in the socket. There was, however, a spell placed on the bullet. The bug became so slow that it started to fall to the ground. Turtle was very useful against foes that relied on speed and flight.
Han Sen donned his rabbit shoes and summoned dragon wings for his ears and back. His body glowed red as he shot off towards the Blue Gold Demon Bug. He lifted Ghost Teeth Knife, and using Tusk, he sliced the Turtlized bug into pieces.
"Xenogeneic Marquise hunted. Blue Gold Demon Bug: xenogeneic gene found."
When the Blue Gold Demon Bug died, the xenogeneics that were under its influence returned to normal again. They felt Han Sen's presence and quickly ran off.
Han Sen looked to the sky, but most of the creatures he knew were above him were too dark to see. Only the King class and half-deified bugs that were fighting Yisha and the others were visible against the sky. They were fighting in space, shining bright against the stars.
He couldn't see them, but he knew the Blue Gold Demon Bugs were probably descending on other planets.
"You guys stay on the planet. I'm going to go take a look." Han Sen thought Planet Eclipse was safe for now. He left Little Star behind, flapping his dragon wings as he sped off into space.
Han Sen flew around the King class Blue Gold Demon Bugs. He was far enough away that he only saw flashes in the distance, and he couldn't see the fight properly.
The blue lights and the purple knife airs were like a magnetic storm in space. Han Sen could tell Yisha was the one that was guiding the fight, but if things continued as they were, they'd end up destroying the planet.
Han Sen flew by the planet closest to Planet Eclipse, and he noted that there weren't many Blue Gold Demon Bugs there. He continued past, headed for the planet with the blue metal cube.
He figured that place would have the most Blue Gold Demon Bugs, so it was his target. The more he killed, the less damage would be dealt to Narrow Moon.
The bugs had the power to control low-intelligence xenogeneics. That was more dangerous than the bugs themselves. The planet that hosted the blue metal cube had many low-intelligence xenogeneics, and if the bugs gained control of them all, the situation would get completely out of hand.
It appeared that Narrow Moon's elites shared Han Sen's fear, because they were also focusing on that planet. When the Blue Gold Demon Bugs appeared, the Rebate had been thrown into utter chaos. But even so, not much damage was dealt. The Dukes quickly organized the fight and evacuated those who weren't strong enough to fight.
Rebecca and the other youngsters were fighting Blue Gold Demon Bugs, too. They used the geography of the landscape to their advantage.
Not long after, an explosion sounded from outside the city. An earthquake followed, as angry roars and scary screams rolled over the city.
Someone went to take a look, and they saw an endless horde of xenogeneics coming from every direction. Their eyes were all red. They were going to charge into the city.
A flying group of Blue Gold Demon Bugs squealed menacingly in the air, driving the xenogeneics toward the city. Rebecca was aiding the evacuation of civilians, and her face turned pale when she realized what was happening.
"Oh no! Those metal monsters can control xenogeneics?" Rebecca groaned.
"That *sshole Sad Night! He has destroyed Narrow Moon," Du Lishe hissed. If the xenogeneics got into the city, most people below the rank of Duke were going to die.
To make the situation even worse, Yisha and Black Moon King had yet to kill their opponents. There were no reinforcements to call in.
Bzzt!
A weird noise sounded, and a green light rose from the city. The sight was a relief to everyone watching.
A high voltage laser net had been activated outside the city. It was very effective against creatures that were Duke and below. If it could block the creatures coming in from the outside, the city would be a fair bit safer.
But they soon found out that the net wasn't enough. The crazed xenogeneics were still coming, climbing over the fallen bodies of their allies to slip through the net. A path was built with the charred corpses, and xenogeneics flooded the city like a burst dam.
An ape-like xenogeneic broke down a building, while a dragon-like creature soared in the air, raining down an inferno of fire across the land. Death and blood were everywhere.
Rebecca and Du Lishe felt hopeless. They could not deal with that many xenogeneics.
"Kill the Blue Gold Demon Bugs that control the xenogeneics!" A red shadow flashed over the city, flying high above the xenogeneics.
A purple knife with scary knife air came flying by, killing any flying xenogeneics it touched.
"Overbearing Teeth, please lend me your strength to slay these Blue Gold Demon Bugs!" Han Sen flew in front of the xenogeneic and Blue Gold Demon Bug armies.
"Too many xenogeneics. We can't reach them!" Overbearing Teeth shouted. He had tried leading the Dukes past the xenogeneics, but the Blue Gold Demon Bugs were smart. Wherever the bugs went, they commanded the xenogeneics to protect them. The Dukes could not reach the bugs no matter how many creatures were killed.
"Follow my attack!" Han Sen shouted, before putting Ghost Teeth Knife back in its sheath. Spell became a rocket launcher on his shoulders, and then he fired. His blood red body followed after the smoky trail.
Boom!
The rocket exploded amidst the xenogeneics. The shot didn't have enough destructive power to do too much damage to Marquise xenogeneics, but when the shockwave of the explosion brushed the enemy, it made them far slower. Turtle marks appeared on their bodies.

Chapter 2081 Follow Me
After the Turtle light blasted through the flying xenogeneics, scores of them fell to the ground.
Han Sen had shown himself to be a threat, and so a Blue Gold Demon Bug screamed. Many of the xenogeneics under its control turned toward Han Sen. Before Han Sen could fire off another rocket, though, many Duke and Marquise xenogeneics were already in front of him.
Han Sen used a petrifying shockwave to step back and get some distance, turning all the xenogeneics in a five- hundred-meter radius into stone.
Although he couldn't petrify the stronger ones completely, he slowed them enough to buy some time.
Pang! Pang! Pang! Pang!
Han Sen ran forward, unleashing petrifying shockwaves with every footfall. They didn't deal that much damage, but they did slow the xenogeneics down. Wherever Han Sen went, things got quiet.
"Follow Han Sen!" Overbearing Teeth Duke shouted, and one hundred Dukes raced after Han Sen. Their knives and their swordlights were shining. They killed many of the temporarily-petrified high-level xenogeneics.
They only killed the ones that were a danger to them, though. They ignored the bulk of the xenogeneic horde, following Han Sen as he made his way to the Blue Gold Demon Bugs.
Screams echoed in the skies as a Blue Gold Demon Bug commanded its xenogeneics to summon more power to stop Han Sen's advance. The Duke and Marquise xenogeneics under its control released their power in a single, concentrated burst.
Han Sen saw the attack coming, and he knew he couldn't block it. Overbearing Teeth had seen what was happening, too, and he barked, "Careful!"
Han Sen flapped his dragon wings and disappeared, and that frightening attack cratered the place he had been only moments before. Han Sen reappeared right beside the Blue Gold Demon Bugs. He used another petrifying shockwave, and the nearby Blue Gold Demon Bugs and xenogeneics were turned to stone. Han Sen followed that up by immediately firing a rocket. Turtle symbols appeared on all the bugs and xenogeneics, sending them plummeting to the earth below.
Overbearing Teeth grinned and began killing the bugs that were petrified by the Turtle light. Metallic limbs and gore were strewn everywhere in his wake.
The Blue Gold Demon Bugs were weaker after suffering the petrification and Turtle spell. They could not fight back against the Dukes. The bugs had once been difficult to kill, but now they were slain with ease.
Han Sen teleported back and forth across the battlefield. Every time he appeared, a new shockwave would roll out to petrify all their opponents. He also made frequent use of his rocket launcher.
Many Blue Gold Demon Bugs had to endure the petrification and Turtle effects. Overbearing Teeth Duke followed Han Sen closing, cutting up the enemies he left behind. They killed so many bugs, making their cries drown out the sound of all else.
Now the bugs felt that they were facing a real threat, and they recalled many of the xenogeneics they had sent across the city. The new enemy troops intensified the pressure on Han Sen and the others, but the rest of the city instantly became safer.
Han Sen's power was at a level where it would still be very difficult for him to kill the high-class bugs. Killing a Duke would not be easy for him.
But he was happy to leave the killing to others. He chose to play smart, focusing on speed, teleportation, petrification shockwave casting, and the rockets that dished out Turtle spells. He flashed around the battlefield, letting Overbearing Teeth Duke and the others finish off the foes he brought down.
Han Sen was guiding a regiment of one hundred Dukes. They were like a weapon of his own—one that could brutally impale the hearts of all the enemies he came across. Many Blue Gold Demon Bugs died by their hands, and there was little chance of the ones remaining having a chance of escape.
Han Sen flowed between the monsters like water. The petrifying shockwaves continued to spread, peppered with the explosions of the rockets he fired. They were the brightest things on the battlefield.
Wherever Han Sen went, the Dukes killed everything in their path. Blood and bodies were everywhere, and the attacks of the bugs were slowing down.
"No wonder Han Sen was able to kill Sharon and Dragon Thirteen! That guy is scary." said a shocked voice.
Rebecca and Du Lishe were in shock, too. The city was getting quieter, and they saw that the hope of victory was not too far away.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Han Sen was like the conductor of an orchestra. His entire body was the wild baton used for dictation, and wherever he went, death followed.
Han Sen lost track of how long he had been leading the killing. Many Blue Gold Demon Bugs were slain by the Dukes he led. And before long, the xenogeneics started to run.
The only bad thing about all this was the fact that he had been striking the monsters with rockets all that time, and the only kills he had registered to himself were those of the lower level foes. The Dukes had killed all the high-level enemies. Due to his lack of kills, Han Sen had been robbed of the chance to procure high-class beast souls.
But given how dire the situation had gotten, Han Sen couldn't be too upset about it. He disabled the Blue Gold Demon Bugs as quickly as he could. Countless numbers of them died every second, and with that focus, he hardly had the time to think, anyway.
The moonlight was bright like snow. He killed creatures without thinking.
The entire planet became a killing hell. Blood was spilled across the place, and limbs were scattered everywhere. The bodies of xenogeneics built up like mountain ranges.
The fights out in space were still going on, too. Han Sen heard a familiar voice come from the cosmos before long, breaking through the atmosphere. It was a voice that sounded like the roaring of an angry monster, and it slammed into a blue light. That blue light fell like a meteor covered in purple air.
Boom!
The ground shook, and nearby hills were leveled. The blue light erupted like a volcano from the mountain.
Yisha's body sundered the atmosphere before that mountain. Her pretty face had turned to one scored with a lust for murder. She held a long white knife, drenched in purple air. When her hand moved, it was like she was tearing a hole in the universe itself.
Boom!
There was a deafening noise. The ground was scarred with a knifemark that went on for a few hundred miles. That blue light began to crack, but it made some marks that resembled a chrysanthemum.
Yisha's face looked cold, and her attacks made the skies above her shudder. Onlookers began to worry that she might end up cutting the planet in half.
Katcha!
There was a strange noise, as if something had broken.
Within the haze of dust and debris, Han Sen saw two blue lights falling away from each other. When he looked closer, he saw that the half-deified Blue Gold Demon Bug had been hewn in two by Yisha.
Its body had been riddled with a number of wounds, but the deadliest sliced from its shoulder to its waist. That was the strike that cut the beast in half.

Chapter 2082 Blue Gold Demon Bug
That massive power, brought down with Yisha's knife, tore its body in half. The part with the head fell down to roll through the streets of the city.
Han Sen and the others were busy killing the smaller xenogeneics. When Han Sen saw half of its body coming toward him, his first thought wasn't to get an easy kill; it was to dodge the thing.
The Blue Gold Demon Bug's lifeforce was scary. Being cut in half wouldn't kill the creature immediately. And a half- deified elite could kill most weaker beings just by moving its finger.
Fortunately, the other half of the body did not come that way. Yisha teleported over and slashed the head of the beast.
The body was already injured. The head had a few wounds in it, exposing some of its brain. There was no muscle or blood, though. On the inside, the creature was composed of metal machinery and gears.
The Blue Gold Demon Bugs were strange, and this was reflected in their lifeforce. They were beings of metal.
Katcha!
More breaking sounds were heard. The Blue Gold Demon Bug's head was chopped in two, opening like a cut watermelon now. Han Sen could see the blue crystal xenogeneic gene that had almost fallen out.
No matter how strong that bug was, that strike ought to have killed it.
Han Sen saw half of its head roll his way. There was still a distance between him and it, but he teleported closer. He went to that half of the head and used his knife to dig out the blue crystal core.
He did not dare to take the xenogeneic gene, but he wanted to test his luck. He wanted to see if he could get an easy kill register by doing so. There was a chance he'd get a beast soul or something.
That half of the head still trembled a little, but after Han Sen removed the core, the body stilled.
"Mutant Xenogeneic King hunted. Blue Gold Demon Bug King: xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Blue Gold Demon Bug King beast soul."
A voice played in Han Sen's head, and upon hearing it, Han Sen almost thought he could hear a choir of angels singing. It felt like he was going to transcend to a higher plane of existence.
Han Sen just wanted to give it a shot; the chances of actually gaining a beast soul had been virtually nonexistent. Luckily, no one around him knew what had just happened. Han Sen himself was struggling to believe it.
"Good people always have good karma. It is lucky that I have been such a good boy for so long. It hurt to let them kill so many Marquises and Dukes, but now it is all worth it." Han Sen was ecstatic.
After the Blue Gold Demon Bug King died, the rest of the bugs became frenzied. There was no order or cohesion to their formation, which made the work of killing them a lot easier.
Han Sen quickly lifted the blue crystal core and lobbed it at Yisha. He also shouted, "Queen, you should take this before it gets lost in the fight!"
After that, Han Sen continued killing the Blue Gold Demon Bugs.
Trying to steal the Blue Gold Demon Bug's xenogeneic gene would be foolish. For now, Han Sen was satisfied with obtaining that King-class beast soul.
Yisha caught the blue crystal core and put it away. She then returned to space to help Black-Moon King and the others kill the other King-class Blue Gold Demon Bugs.
The situation had taken a turn for the better, and the Blue Gold Demon Bugs were no longer much of a threat. Han Sen led Overbearing Teeth Duke in a rush against their foes, killing many bugs and xenogeneics as they went.
When the situation improved further, Han Sen found a chance to take down some Duke Blue Gold Demon Bugs and xenogeneics by himself. He didn't gain any additional beast souls by doing this, however.
With Yisha's help, the King-class Blue Gold Demon Bugs were all destroyed. When Yisha rejoined Black-Moon King, the horde of bugs knew that their time of death was nigh.
Many nobles had been killed in Narrow Moon that day, but fortunately, Han Sen had been there to lead a highly-trained team in pulling many of the bugs and xenogeneics away to lessen casualties.
Even so, that bug disaster was the worst crisis Narrow Moon had endured in many centuries.
The bugs that flew to other planets were eventually killed, too. Han Sen found a few Marquise and Duke xenogeneics to claim for himself, and when all was said and done, he had earned quite a bit.
The biggest reward was the mutant King-class beast soul, of course. If the bug's head hadn't rolled right in front of him, Han Sen had no idea how long he might have had to wait to benefit from a King xenogeneic. The fact that this one was mutant was just the icing on the cake.
After that fight, Han Sen's reputation grew even larger. He had led the Dukes to fight the monsters, and his performance that day was given grand compliments by many Narrow Moon nobles.
Sad Night was the one who opened the blue metal cube, so he had unleashed the invasion of the Blue Gold Demon Bugs. He hadn't been killed, but he had been arrested. He was pending an investigation into his actions. In the end, Han Sen heard nothing about what happened to him.
Han Sen, on the other hand, received a reward from the Full Moon Council. He was the recipient of many geno fluids, which he could use to practice. He was also bestowed many titles and many more benefits.
Han Sen had permission to join Moon Garden, but he wasn't going to be a student this time. Now he was offered the opportunity of being a teacher.
Yisha wouldn't let Han Sen join Moon Garden just to become a student. Han Sen had the Teacher title in Sky Palace, and it would be an insult to Sky Palace if he was only a student in Moon Garden.
Aside from all that, though, he received many more rewards. Planet Eclipse was exempt from paying taxes for an additional fifty years, which saved Han Sen a lot of money.
Han Sen's performance wasn't the only reason he was so generously rewarded; Yisha played a big part in fighting for what he was given. Without an important figure like her backing him, Han Sen wouldn't have received half as many rewards.
After all was said and done, though, Yisha called on Han Sen to visit her in the palace.
You did well, but The Story of Genes isn't Marquise yet. How did you earn so much power?" Yisha randomly asked, while holding Bao'er.
Han Sen had wondered if she might ask this, so he had a lie already prepared. He said, "I practiced Consume. I discovered that Consume can steal the powers of xenogeneics, like these dragon wings. I took them out of Sharon's xenogeneic gene. And as a result, these dragon wings have the Break Space Flash power."
Because no one aside from the Consuming Ants could practice Consume, Yisha wouldn't be able to tell if he was lying.

Chapter 2083 Walking Sky Road Again
Yisha saw his Xuanyuan Dragon wings and his Stone Cow's stoneskin, and she believed Han Sen. She couldn't think of a better explanation, so Han Sen got away with it.
He took Bao'er back with him to Planet Eclipse. Before they left, Yisha gave Bao'er many items, including many geno fluids for general use. They were pricier than the ones Han Sen had received.
"I can't tell you how great your daughter is," Yisha said, before they left.
Han Sen felt depressed. He was thinking his kids were far too good, and that their starting base was far superior to his own.
"It is because they have a good father." Han Sen sighed and tidied his clothes, looking pleased with himself.
Bao'er enjoyed living there. Life in the city had been too boring for her. Han Sen brought her to the planet to kill xenogeneics, wanting to see how powerful a creature her gourd could suck up.
Han Sen found a Baron xenogeneic for her to try the gourd on. She brought out the gourd, and the creature vanished into it. Han Sen wasn't surprised Bao'er had that power, though. If she hadn't, all the xenogeneics he had fed her would've been a waste.
The next couple of tests did surprise Han Sen, however. She was able to suck up Viscounts and Earls. She struggled a little with a Marquise, but even that creature was eventually pulled into the gourd. Nothing was able to resist her.
"Bao'er, if your gourd was that good, why did you not tell me earlier?" Han Sen looked at Bao'er's gourd jovially.
You didn't ask," Bao'er said, sounding hurt.
"Good. Well, we'll go to Sky Palace tomorrow so we can absorb that cocky red cloud." Han Sen was super excited just thinking about that red cloud.
With Bao'er there, Han Sen didn't think the cloud had a chance.
It was a shame there weren't many Dukes in Planet Eclipse, though. They were really hard to find, so they couldn't see if Bao'er's gourd was capable of absorbing one of those.
The Marquise had fought the suction for a bit. Absorbing a Duke wouldn't be too easy.
"It's a shame I cannot bring Little Invisible to Sky Palac," Han Sen thought. Sky Palace was a nice place, but it was strict with its laws. If it wasn't for the Jade Spirits, he'd have preferred to remain on Planet Eclipse.
The next day, Han Sen said goodbye to Yisha and secretly brought Bao'er to Sky Palace.
"How do I use this thing?" It was a boring trip, so Han Sen spent his time examining the mutant King beast soul.
King Class Mutant Beast Soul Blue Gold Demon Bug King: bai sema
That was the first time Han Sen had ever seen such a beast soul. He researched it a bit, trying to see how he might make use of it.
After Han Sen summoned the Demon Bug King beast soul, a blue light shone around his body. He could widen the radius of the light or make it smaller. The smallest light was about the width of an eggshell, whereas the biggest it could go was with a radius of an entire kilometer.
The wider the bai sema grew, the lower its defense dropped. At its smallest, it could block the force of a King-class attack and shrug off the damage.
But the bai sema only worked on Han Sen, and it moved where he did. Power from the outside could not break it, but power on the inside could not go out, either.
"This bai sema beast soul is awesome. If I use it well enough, I could survive a fight against a King-class foe." Han Sen really loved that Demon Bug Bai Sema beast soul.
Back in Sky Palace, Han Sen filled out the applications for Bao'er. They conducted their DNA tests on a planet away from Sky Palace. Human genes were unstable, so it was difficult to check their relationship reliably.
Han Sen and Bao'er's geno cores were very similar. There were some differences, but it was enough to prove they were father and daughter.
Han Sen was given permission to enter Sky Palace with her, but Bao'er would have to traverse the Sky Road and then follow the Road to the Sky. Because she was still a child, however, Han Sen was allowed to accompany her. She didn't have to go through it alone, as he had.
Han Sen held Bao'er's hand and went to Sky Door Island. They headed for the gourd vines.
Bao'er looked at the gourd vine curiously, and the gourds upon it in particular.
Many people in Sky Palace had heard that Han Sen was bringing his daughter, and while not many came to spectate in person, a lot of people paused to watch wherever they were.
Han Sen's genes weren't stable, so he wasn't a genius when it came to practice. He could not practice things quickly, but he was good at using techniques.
His techniques made him very strong, but to people that practiced, reaching the status of deified was the ultimate goal. No matter how well Han Sen performed, if he could not reach that lofty point, then the elites wouldn't always look up to him.
Many people were interested in learning how talented Han Sen's daughter was. They could tell her genes were not stable, either. Because there were so many unknowns, many of the elites were disappointed.
Unstable meant unpredictable. It meant something couldn't be controlled. It was all a gamble. No one would gamble upon something that had no guarantee.
Thousand Feather Crane, the Yun sisters, First Day Buddha, and Yu Jing all came to Sky Door Island to welcome Han Sen. When Yu Shushang saw Bao'er, she smiled. "I did not expect your daughter to be so cute!"
Han Sen introduced them to Bao'er. "I will take Bao'er through Sky Road and lead her up the Road to the Sky. We will talk later."
After that, Han Sen took Bao'er to the giant gourd vine.
Bao'er observed the gourds with profound curiosity. When Han Sen picked her up and began walking across the gourd vine, the gourds began to shake like bells in a storm.
Han Sen was shocked. He remembered when he first came there, the gourds were afraid of him. It was the same thing happening now, but it was even crazier. The gourds were shaking like made.
Now Han Sen knew why the gourds would have this reaction when he walked across the vine. It wasn't because he was special; it was because he was associated with Bao'er. That was why the gourds reacted to him.
"Does Bao'er have something to do with this gourd vine?" Han Sen's face looked strange, as he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Chapter 2084 Ten Thousand Gourds Moving Together
Han Sen hesitated, wondering if he should keep going. The gourds were having a very strong reaction, and he was afraid something might happen.
But since he was already out on the vine, going back didn't seem like a good idea. He had to press on with Bao'er.
The movement of the gourd vines was shocking all of Sky Palace. The Sky Palace leader, who was in the middle of practice, opened his eyes. The nobles and the elders watched the shaking gourd vine via their own means. Even the Dream Beast woke up from his slumber to look at Bao'er, who was being carried on Han Sen's chest.
In the tower of a jade city, a green-clothed man stood alone. He watched the gourd vine and looked surprised.
The Sky Palace gourd vine was a deified plant. Even if a deified elite came, it wouldn't have that reaction unless the elite was a hostile.
But now, it was having such a drastic reaction to Han Sen and his child. Something like this had never occurred before. "What is this? What's happening to the gourd vine?" Yun Suyi asked with confusion.
No one could answer her question, though. So, Yun Suyi continued to watch in shock as Han Sen and his daughter crossed the madly-shaking gourd vine.
Suddenly, a gourd that was as big as a stove began to shine. A sword-light came out of the gourd and went straight for Bao'er, who was in Han Sen's arms.
Han Sen was thrilled. This was not like the first time, where he had no clue about anything that was going on. He knew the gourd had approved of her, and it had given her a holy gourd sword air to practice swords with.
When Han Sen had walked across it the first time, the gourds shook, but they did not give him anything.
A lady with a black mask, next to Sky Palace leader, said in surprise, "It seems as if Han Sen's daughter is a natural. She has managed to trigger the holy gourd's sword air. She really has the talent. This is most fortuitous for the prestige of Sky Palace."
The Sky Palace leader nodded, but he did not say anything. He felt as if the gourd had moved too much, and that was nothing normal.
The elders stared with stunned expressions.
"It is no wonder she is Han Sen's daughter. She can trigger the holy gourd sword air. She will achieve many great feats with a sword."
"Han is strong, and he has a daughter that can trigger the holy gourd sword air. The leader will consider him even more important now."
"But it is a shame that her genes are not stable, just like Han Sen's. Her core genes are similar to his own. It will be difficult for her to practice."
"I don't know if she will ever become deified, but being a King would be amazing enough. That's a rare feat."
While everyone discussed this, the holy gourd sword air touched down on Bao'er's forehead. It surrounded Bao'er, making her glow with a holy sword air.
Then another gourd lit up. A holy gourd knife air was coming straight at Bao'er.
"Look! Another gourd has been triggered. This time it is a knife air. She is talented with knives, too?" the black-masked woman asked in utter disbelief.
It was rare to trigger two gourds with different holy airs, which meant Bao'er had great talent with knives and swords. She could learn with those much faster than an ordinary creature.
"Han Sen is a knife and sword master, and it seems his daughter is just as proficient. Genes are very important."
"It is a shame that Han Sen is not a genuine student of ours. These two could earn a lot of glory for us."
"They are not our family, but the connection between the leader and Knife Queen make it close enough."
"Han Sen's daughter has no master, and Han Sen has only been a member for a short while. Can his daughter still enter Sky Palace?"
"Yeah, but the leader took Lone Bamboo as a student. He cannot take on any more. I don't know who her master will end up being."
"With this talent, no elder would reject the prospect of accepting her as a student."
"Not bad. Not bad. This child is talented. She has talent with swords and knives. She will become very strong in the future." A King with a white beard laughed.
Another King nodded. "This girl is good, but her talent is different from my own powers. If we were more compatible, I would take her as my student."
An elder laughed and said, "It is a shame she is not of the Sky. Otherwise, I would take her as a student. She may be talented, but she is still a crystallizer. Her genes are unstable. For her, gaining strength will require far more effort than usual."
As everyone discussed all this, the gourd vine shone again. A gourd spat out even more holy air.
That holy air had lightning in it. When it reached Bao'er, it was like she was getting thunderstruck.
The observers were frozen upon seeing this. They spoke to themselves, saying, "She has talent with thunder, too? How powerful is she?"
Before they could wrap their minds around what they were seeing, more lights came out of the gourd vine. Whenever Han Sen and Bao'er moved, all the gourds spat out holy air at Bao'er's forehead.
There was gold, wood, water, fire, earth, knife, sword, lance, spear, trident, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, sun, moon, and galaxy.
All those holy airs swirled around the pair on the vine, masking the entire path in a holy aura. The gourds were shining so bright, they lit up the entirety of Sky Palace. The holy airs hovered around Bao'er, waiting for their chance to land on her.
Frozen. Everyone was frozen. The elders, the leader, and Dream Beast stood as still as statues. The whole of Sky Palace was silent and unmoving.
Ever since Sky Palace was established, many geniuses had walked the Sky Road. There were some deified ones, but even those only acquired holy airs from a couple of gourds.
When ordinary geniuses went past, they'd be extremely lucky just to receive one.
But now, all those holy gourd airs were queuing up to give Bao'er what they had. They were like dumplings being thrown at Bao'er's forehead. Bao'er's body was full of holy air. She was like a fog, but becoming solid.
"Am I dreaming?" one of the Kings mumbled. He watched the holy airs twirl around Bao'er like a tornado. He couldn't close his mouth.

Chapter 2085 Shocking Sky Palace
Many Sky had gathered around a circle of elders and King class elites.
"Sixth elder, do not try to steal the new student this time. You took Fang Weinan's last time. I get first pick of any good prospective students! I want this little girl," the fourth elder said, seeing the sixth elder approach.
"It all depends on who is the most suitable to be her teacher. In Sky Palace, I am certainly the most talented. If this genius falls to another, it would be a grand waste. So, I do not mind working extra hard. I won't be wasting another genius," the sixth-seat elder coughed.
You are shameless." The fourth elder sounded angry.
"Stop arguing! The leader is here. Let us see what he has to say about who gets care of the child," another elder suggested.
"Leader! Tell us who should accept the child. When we last had our meeting, you said it clearly…" the fourth elder was quick to complain to the elder.
Sky Palace leader coughed and said, "I don't know much about her yet. Why don't I look after her, see where her true talents lie, and then come to a decision?"
The elders were shocked. They thought the leader was being obscene; he obviously wanted to take Bao'er, as well.
"Leader, this is not appropriate. You said Lone Bamboo was to be your only student, and you wouldn't take any more." The fourth-seat elder gritted his teeth.
The other elders followed. "Yeah! You have your only student. How can you take on more students? You will be breaking your own laws. Have you no care for the rule of law!"
They knew that if the Sky Palace leader took the girl, none of them would have a chance. So, they had to nip this plan in the bud.
"I cannot take a student, but my student does not have a student." The Sky Palace leader smiled.
"Your student is only a Marquise. He cannot take a sh*t!" The fourth elder swore furiously.
The other elders were thinking that the leader was far too greedy. He wanted to use Lone Bamboo to take her for himself by proxy. He would still become her teacher, as she would be his grandstudent.
The discussion quickly became a heated argument, but no one there relented.
The holy gourd was a deified plant, and people had to be really talented to earn its approval. Since Bao'er could make ten thousand gourds move, she'd be great in whatever she practiced. If she wasn't lazy, there was a high chance of her becoming the second Lone Bamboo. She could very well exceed him.
"Interesting." Yu Shanxin was standing atop a jade city's tower. As he stared at Bao'er, near the gourds, he squinted. Dream Beast stood up, too; he looked at Bao'er with profound shock.
Han Sen held Bao'er as he continued to walk forward. His hands were shaking. It felt as if the event had become too much. All the gourds had given Bao'er some holy gourd airs.
Han Sen did not know what to do, now that this had shocked the entirety of Sky Palace. He tried to think of how he could explain it to others. Fortunately, Bao'er's genes were the same as Han Sen's. Simply telling them she was his daughter seemed like a safe enough answer.
But Bao'er was so famous now, he didn't think he'd ever be able to live his life with a low profile.
"D*mn! What the hell is wrong with the gourd? Did that plant lose its mind!"
"F*ck! Han Sen's geno arts are already strong, but his child is too? This is ridiculous!"
"I wonder if Han Sen still wants his woman. I'd like to make a daughter like that with him. I would even pay for it, as long as he gets me pregnant."
"You can keep dreaming. His daughter is so talented that her mother must be the same. Maybe you'll end up with a gourd if you make a baby with him."
"It's scary. All the gourds gave out air. What element does she have?"
"She must be a mythical being, with ties to all elements. She can practice whatever she wants to."
"I don't understand. Crystallizers are ordinary, so how can one of them bear a daughter such as that?"
Mountain. River. Galaxy. Sun. Moon. All elements were showing up, landing on Bao'er's forehead. They made her body's holy air stronger.
The holy gourd air wouldn't make you strong, but it could strengthen your talents. After having holy gourd sword air, your sword talents would increase.
Thousand Feather Crane had received one, so his sword talent was greater than most of Sky Palace's students. Now that the gourd air kept going after Bao'er, Bao'er had no clue what was going on. The others did, though, and they knew how scary this entire thing was.
There were too many holy gourd airs, and Han Sen had to stop on the vine. He had to wait for each holy gourd air to land.
He worried about whether or not Bao'er could handle so many gourd airs, but she seemed to be fine. She was even smiling, which relieved Han Sen greatly.
All those airs kept going into Bao'er's body. And when they did, the gourds started to shine.
Han Sen had to stand on the gourd vine for four hours, waiting for all the gourd airs to be dispensed into Bao'er's body. She was surrounded by a holy aura now, and she looked almost like a fairy.
Han Sen thought if Bao'er was to fart right now, it'd be a holy air.
"Why is it that when I walked, those gourds didn't give me a single gourd air?" Han Sen felt depressed about this factor, but he was still very excited.
After all the gourds had given out their holy air, they all returned to looking normal. Han Sen held Bao'er and readied himself to leave and get off the Sky Road. But just as he did, Bao'er tugged Han Sen's clothing and jumped down. She patted the gourd vine, and with her childish voice, said, "Gourd, have you seen my father here? We should share good stuff. Please give my father a gift, too."
Sky Palace leader and the elders thought that was funny. She was lucky to receive as much as she had, but now she was asking for more to be given to Han Sen.
Although it was impossible, the thoughtfulness of the girl was admirable.
But the next second, everyone's eyes opened wide. The gourds had stopped shining, but they brightened up again after hearing her.

Chapter 2086 Ten Thousand Gourds Move Again
Mountain. River. Sun. Moon. Knife. Axe. Sword. Spear. The holy air came out again, all headed towards Han Sen. They entered through his forehead, one after another.
"Good Bao'er! I raised you well, after all." Han Sen was so happy, he wanted to pick her up and kiss her cheeks.
One holy air headed for Han Sen was like the mountain of a god. Han Sen felt the power of a mountain go inside him.
Han Sen felt as if he himself had become the god mountain. The strength, vitality, and power of a mountain were inside him. He now understood what a mountain truly was.
A river came next, and Han Sen became a river in accordance. The swell of the river, and the infinite reach of its waters came into Han Sen's heart. At that moment, Han Sen was the river, and the river was Han Sen.
Galaxy and snow. All these strange things landed atop Han Sen. He understood everything at a greater level than he had before.
A myriad of experiences flowed into Han Sen. His world was a fish. It was a tiger. It was a bug. It was a dragon. His world had been turned upside-down, and he saw the world from a different point-of-view. It was something that he should not have understood.
These weren't just feelings; the holy air cleaned his body. He could understand other things more. Now Han Sen knew why, after the holy gourd sword air, the sword skills would increase.
After learning the essence of the sword, with the body cleansed, the sword skill talents would increase.
Ten thousand gourd holy airs were coming. To someone like Han Sen, who already knew everything, it was a magnificent boon.
Holy gourd airs did not increase one's level or power, but the benefits they gave weren't something you could get by leveling up, anyway.
"How…?" The Sky Palace leader and all the elders were stunned again. Even the deified ones could not find the means to shut their mouths.
"D*mn! The holy vine's holy airs can be requested? I thought nothing could influence whether or not they were bestowed on someone. What is going on now?"
"Is everything I have come to know a lie? The gourd doesn't need to approve of who it gives its holy airs to?"
"F*ck! I thought the holy gourd air was something noble. It turns out to be something quite cheap."
"F*ck you! This favoritism is too much. Han Sen's daughter can get holy air, and then ask the same to be given to her father? This has to be a joke!"
"Does walking Sky Road require social connections now?"
"Making a good baby is better than living well, it would seem. Make a good daughter, and you can have everything." "There is no need for the Sky Road anymore. It sucks."
The elders were silent. They could not understand why the vine would accept Bao'er's request. It was unbelievable. Not even the deified elites could get a holy air without the vine's approval.
Bao'er had casually spoken her wish, but the vine released plenty of holy airs from its gourds. It made all the elders wonder about the meaning of their existence. Perhaps the gourd had been gathering up its holy airs for millions of years, and now it was randomly spewing them out to the lucky.
But deep down, they knew that wasn't true. Many people had walked across Sky Road, and only a very few ever gained the approval of the gourds.
"I want this student. Whoever fights me on this will no longer be my friend." The fourth-eat elder sounded angry.
"What do you mean? This girl is my student. We look so similar, after all." The elders started to argue amongst themselves again.
That was a sleepless night for the Sky. Two people had received ten thousand holy airs in one day. The most unbelievable thing was that one set had been given upon request.
After that day, many Sky Palace students re-walked the Sky Road. They hoped a miracle would occur for them, but nothing ever did. There was no reaction from the gourds, even if they walked across it a few times. They never got approved.
Some students begged it, hoping to touch the holy vine and have it give them its holy airs. They burned so many sacrifices, and they kowtowed until their foreheads were bloody. But no matter what they tried, the gourd vine was unmoved.
Now people knew that begging for holy air depended on who you were. Not just anyone could do that.
After that, Bao'er was bestowed the title of Little Fairy. She didn't look like Han Sen's daughter, and she looked more like a fairy due to her having ten thousand gourd holy airs.
Han Sen also experienced the winds of ten thousand gourd airs, and when all was done, he felt amazing. When he looked at things' he saw them a whole different way now.
Four hours later, all the holy airs had successfully blended into Han Sen's body. The gourds looked exhausted when they were finished.
Thanks," Han Sen said to the gourds. Then, he picked up Bao'er and walked to the main island.
The Road to the Sky did nothing to Bao'er. Nothing strange happened there. Han Sen held Bao'er and carried her into Sky Palace safely.
The students of Sky Palace looked at Han Sen as if he was a stranger. It was as if they thought he was a monster that had escaped from the zoo.
Before Han Sen had a chance to go to the leader and elders with Bao'er himself, they came running towards him.
"Han Sen; I am going to take your daughter as a student. You may have whatever you wish."
"No, she is my student! Han Sen, I have so many weapons you can choose from. You can take any you wish, if you allow your daughter to be a student of mine."
"What is the point of giving out so many weapons? Come to my Medicine King Island. All the medicines and geno fluids there are now yours." "I… I…"
"Enough! Look at what you people have become. Do any of you still respect me? Act like the elders you are!" the Sky Palace leader roared, slamming his fist into the table.
All the elders looked ashamed of themselves. The leader walked in front of Han Sen. "Han Sen, you know Lone Bamboo. You know how strong he is. If you allow Bao'er to become his student, with my teachings as well, she can become something great."
"Obscene." The elders became even angrier. They started to fight again.

Chapter 2087 The Differences Between People
The elders shouted at each other, fists clenched and blood vessels pulsing. It looked like the fight was about to get physical.
When Bao'er received the ten thousand holy airs, their behavior left them with little dignity. But when Bao'er asked for Han Sen's bounty of holy air, even their pride abandoned them.
Reputation wasn't worth much, and those old monsters had lived for so long that they didn't care about saving face anymore. Material wealth and power were all that mattered to them.
"To all the elders and leaders, you all have students, sons, and daughters. I have nothing. You guys are really going to fight with me over a student?" asked a voice from outside the palace. It was Yu Shanxin and his dog Old Wang approaching. The man smiled.
His approach silenced the elders for a moment. Yu Shanxin was half-deified, and it had been a long time since his murder-spree. But thinking about those days still scared them.
There were a few elders there that only earned their position because Yu Shanxin had killed the elders before them.
"Yu Shanxin, your geno art is too rare. It is not suitable for Bao'er. I remember there is a jade-looking Sky that recently had a baby. That one might be right up your alley."
"Yes, that jade baby suits you."
"Shanxin, this girl has so much talent. It'd be a waste for you to teach her. That jade-looking girl is far more suitable."
The elders kept on talking, making polite suggestions. They did not want to offend Yu Shanxin, but they did not want to give up the prospect of teaching Bao'er, either.
Yu Shanxin smiled and opened his mouth to say something, but then his expression changed.
It wasn't just Yu Shanxin, either. The faces of the Sky Palace leader and all the elders changed. The air warped sinuously, and a snow-white unicorn beast appeared. Its name was Dream Beast.
"She is mine. Do you guys have a problem with that?" Dream Beast came next to Bao'er, blinking at her. Then he looked at the elders.
"Dream… you and she look way too different. She can't practice your powers."
"I'm just here to inform you. I'm not asking for your opinions. If you don't like it, you can try to endure ten thousand nightmares." Dream Beast ignored their pleas, and then, he turned to face Han Sen. "Follow me."
Han Sen had been with Dream Beast for a few months, and he knew full well what the creature was like. He thought if Bao'er was to follow him, she'd be tortured. Thinking of Bao'er having to dive into the lake in search of gemstones made him feel sick.
But before Han Sen could make a decision, Bao'er smiled and leaped onto Dream Beast's back.
Everyone was shocked. He was a Dream Beast, not a horse. A King had called him an old horse once upon a time, and Dream Beast had put nightmares upon him in return. That King had yet to wake up.
The maids said the King was crying and crying every day in bed. They couldn't imagine what torturous dreams he was enduring.
But Dream Beast seemed fine with Bao'er riding him. He took Bao'er and left Sky Palace, headed straight for Dream Island.
Han Sen followed. Even though he did not want to return to Dream Island, Bao'er was already on her way. He needed to know what Dream Beast was going to do with Bao'er.
"Leader, how can he do such a thing? You should fix this!" When the elders snapped out of their daze and realized what had just occurred, they immediately started complaining to the Sky Palace leader. But even so, no one stopped Dream Beast from taking Bao'er.
Old Shanxin left with Old Wang. A black and white swallow flew around him.
The Sky Palace leader's shoulders slumped. "If any of you can get Bao'er back from him, then you are given the right to be her teacher. I cannot do anything about it."
The elders looked at each other, wondering who the f*ck would dare try to take her away from Dream Beast.
Han Sen chased after Dream Beast, but he couldn't catch up. Dream Beast took her into the clouds and disappeared.
It was fortunate Han Sen knew where Dream Island was, though, and he set his course that way.
He was worried about Bao'er suffering under Dream Beast's tutelage. If she was just going to spend her days digging up gemstones, he was determined to take her back.
He wouldn't let Bao'er endure such suffering, especially at the hands of an outsider. This was Sky Palace. No matter how strong Dream Beast was, he couldn't take Bao'er for a student if Han Sen did not want her to be there with him.
When Han Sen reached Dream Island, he found Dream Beast and Bao'er. But things weren't as Han Sen had feared.
Han Sen thought Bao'er would be forced to collect gemstones for Dream Beast, or that she'd at least endure rough treatment.
But what Han Sen saw was Dream Beast resting beneath the boughs of a tree. Bao'er was next to him. There was a host of fruit in front of Bao'er that Han Sen had never seen before, save for one.
The one Han Sen had seen before was a fruit that looked like a grape. Yisha had given it to him, and it spurred him on to evolve and become a noble.
There was a whole bunch of them there for Bao'er. There had to be at least a dozen of those grapes.
Bao'er picked them up by the stalk, and she started chomping on them one by one.
"It must be just an illusion. Those cannot be the real Empty Fruit," Han Sen thought to himself.
When Bao'er saw Han Sen approaching, she jumped into his arms and gave him one of the grapes. "Dad! Come and eat some fruit. The fruit Dreamy has given me is so tasty."
Han Sen opened his mouth and ate it. When he bit into it, Han Sen wanted to cry.
It really was an Empty Fruit. Dream Beast had given them to her like a snack.
"F*ck you! How come when I was here I was a slave, but Bao'er is given a bunch of Empty Fruits for a snack? This is so not f*cking fair." On the inside, Han Sen felt like crying.
Dream Beast had not forced Bao'er to stay there, either. He said Bao'er could come and go as she pleased. He also told her that if someone wished to bring harm to Bao'er, all she had to do was give the name to Dream Beast.
"Since when was there such a big difference in treatment between two people?" Han Sen felt as if he wished to be reborn again.
They relaxed on Dream Island for a day, and then Han Sen took Bao'er back to Jade Island with him. After resting, he brought Bao'er to Rainbow Cloud Peak.

Chapter 2088 Taking the Red Cloud
"Where is that cocky red cloud?" Han Sen brought Bao'er to the peak and waited there for three hours, but he had yet to see it. Bao'er was playing with a cloud beast that resembled a fat pig.
Suddenly, a red mist appeared from the sea of clouds and headed their way. Before the red cloud reached the peak, it saw Han Sen. It recognized him, too. It flew around in the sky, with contrails spelling out words.
Idiot, you are back.
Han Sen's eye twitched. He cast the Blood-Pulse Sutra and summoned both pairs of dragon wings. He flapped them and flew off towards the red cloud.
The red cloud moved quickly, and before Han Sen could swing his Ghost Teeth Knife, the red cloud was already gone. It didn't fly far, though. It flew like a bee, and it spelled words in its wake.
Idiot, come and get me.
Han Sen flapped his wings and chased the red cloud. Just when he caught up, the red cloud could speed up and reestablish a distance.
The red cloud became a fist that flipped Han Sen the bird.
Han Sen was not angered by this, though. He actually smiled at it. And then, the red cloud appeared to feel something. Suddenly, it was truly trying to flee.
Its red mist surged, but it didn't move. Instead, it began falling slowly out of the sky.
Bao'er was on the peak, holding up a gold gourd toward the red cloud. An invisible vortex of great power was pulling the cloud down towards it.
The red cloud kept firing red mist like a rocket, but no matter how much power it used, it was still drifting toward Bao'er's gourd. The creature could not escape the slipstream taking it in.
Han Sen was shocked. A normal Marquise would struggle and resist a little before getting absorbed, but that thing was playing tug-of-war with the gourd. It would drift closer and closer to the gourd for some time, but then it would unleash a burst of speed and escape it a bit.
This guy is really different." Han Sen really liked it.
The red cloud could not attack, but its speed would make for an exceptional mount.
The red cloud fought this power for ten minutes, but it was eventually sucked into the gourd. Bao'er felt relieved, and she wiped the sweat from her brow. Even she had used up quite a bit of power.
Han Sen expected the gourd to be up to the task, though. The xenogeneic genes he had brought back to the sanctuary were Marquise, and Bao'er had eaten a lot of them. He had not collected higher xenogeneic genes, though. So, the highest Bao'er could have become was a Marquise, anyway.
"Bao'er, don't digest it. Save it for your Dad, who wants it as a mount," Han Sen said to Bao'er.
"I understand." Bao'er nodded, then she patted the top of the gourd. After that, a red cloud came out of it.
"Will you obey me?" Han Sen asked the red cloud.
The red cloud didn't want to, as it quickly tried to escape. But the gourd was prepared, and a powerful force of suction dragged it right back into the gourd.
Within a second flat, the cloud was back inside the gourd.
After doing this a few times, the red cloud looked exhausted. When it was released the last time, it simply laid down and did not move.
Han Sen picked up Bao'er, jumped atop the red cloud, and shouted at it. "Move! Take us for a tour around Rainbow Cloud Peak."
The red cloud submitted to its fate and took Han Sen and Bao'er for a journey through the sky. Han Sen thought the red cloud had been tamed, but when they were mid-flight, the beast took another shot at escaping.
But again, Bao'er was able to pat the gourd and suck the beast back in.
Han Sen knew that the red cloud was a very wild thing. He didn't let Bao'er release it anymore. He was planning to keep it locked up for a while until its wildness subsided somewhat.
With the red cloud secured, though, Han Sen went back to Jade Island with Bao'er all merrily.
Wherever they went, the Sky Palace students said hello. Bao'er was even more popular than Han Sen, and she definitely had to be the most popular person in all of Sky Palace.
Wherever she went, she was given gifts by students and elders alike. The women really wanted to take her.
Due to Dream Beast now protecting Bao'er, though, the elders of Sky Palace—and the leader—made no attempt to steal Bao'er for themselves. Instead, they just moped about Bao'er not being their student as they wanted her to be.
Han Sen did not know why Dream Beast wished to help Bao'er, but Han Sen noticed that Bao'er was very friendly to creatures such as it.
In the past, Bao'er had used her bottle to feed the Red Pony. That was how they realized it was a super creature called Nightmare. After it went to the Alliance, it stayed in Han Sen's house with Bao'er.
Han Sen practiced geno arts every day. He absorbed Jade Fairy Spirits in the second tower of the White Jade Building when he could, and his Jadeskin leveled up quickly. So, too, did his Dongxuan Sutra. It was only The Story of Genes that had somewhat stalled. There weren't any changes.
"It seems as if The Story of Genes still requires many resources to level up." Han Sen thought regretfully. He had to level up Jadeskin first, though, and use Jade Spirits on his The Story of Genes.
Every time Han Sen went to the White Jade Building, he'd absorb Jade Fairy Spirits. After a while, he realized Jadeskin was developing a strange sort of power.
"I wonder, if Jadeskin reaches Marquise, will I be able to wield cold powers?" Han Sen hoped to get Jadeskin's cold powers. He'd have especially like to wield ice. That would come in very useful for him.
"Brother Han, how are you?" Yu Jing rode his green dragon to Jade Island. He had been doing well for himself, and he looked even richer these days.
"Not bad. It looks like you're doing great, too." Han Sen looked at Yu Jing while he spoke.
Yu Jing smiled and said, "I earned some more money, but now I have an even bigger money-making opportunity ahead. Would you like to help me with it?"
"What is it?" Han Sen asked.
"In one year, it will be the day that the geno being scroll appears. Are you planning to compete?" Yu Jing looked at Han Sen with excitement.

Chapter 2089 Suppress Evil Technique
Han Sen did not know what a "geno being scroll" was. After Han Sen asked Yu Jing, he learned that it was a treasure from the geno hall. It appeared in the geno hall once a century, and any race could compete for it. They could test themselves inside.
Geno being scrolls would place the names of the top ten thousand on it, individually organized from best to worst.
The entire geno universe would be able to see the names sorted on the being scrolls.
"If I leave my name on this thing, what benefit is there?" Han Sen asked Yu Jing.
"Fame throughout the entire geno universe. Everyone will see your name and your race; won't that be a benefit? With your power, you're guaranteed to hit the top out of Earls and Marquises. If you are in the top ten, you'll be so famous." Yu Jing did not know if Han Sen was an Earl or Marquise, and that's why he worded things the way he did.
"Not interested," Han Sen said flatly. He would gain nothing by participating, and fame was the last thing he wanted.
"Do not turn me down quite so soon, Brother Han. There is still a year until the event, so perhaps you will change your mind by then." Yu Jing didn't keep trying to convince him, but he moved on to ask, "Brother Han? When are you going to do a lecture on geno arts? Many students are waiting. Can you tell me what you're going to say when you do one?"
"What would you like to hear?" Han Sen had already planned to complete his yearly teaching requirement while he was free. He could spare ten days right now, so he might as well get it done.
The only problem was that Han Sen didn't know what he should lecture on. He couldn't just teach Under the Sky to the public, either.
Sky Palace had people that studied all types of geno arts. Whatever Han Sen spoke about, there were bound to be some students that had no interest in what he'd discuss.
And the Sky Palace students would never have seen anything like his sanctuary-based geno arts. Trying to teach those would be pointless.
"If you can, I would like you to talk about the Thirty-Three Days Sutra. But that is, of course, the base geno art of all Sky. I doubt you have learned it," Yu Jing said.
Yeah, I really haven't," Han Sen said with a wry smile.
Yu Jing thought, and then his eyes lit up. "Okay, if you can, are you able to talk about Suppress Evil?"
"Suppress Evil?" Han Sen had never heard that name before. He came to Sky Palace for the White Jade Jing and his own geno arts. He didn't bother learning anything else. He only knew about a few of the famous ones, like Textless Book and Phenomenon.
"Suppress Evil is a famous geno art. It is regarded as quite the skill here in Sky Palace. Everyone can learn Suppress Evil, too. Unlike Textless Book, that only a handful of students can learn," Yu Jing said.
"Everyone can practice that skill? That is too much." Han Sen knew that anything that freely available would be lame. The best skills were usually something only a select few could learn. Skills that were too generally used, even if they were great, would only become worse over time.
Yu Jing said, "Suppress Evil is a secret skill of the palace. All Sky can learn it, but outsiders are required to prove themselves before studying it. The technique is strong, but it is very difficult to learn. There are eleven tiers to it, as well. An ordinary student is doing well if they can reach the third or fourth tier, and I myself—who focused on it for many years—only managed to reach the fifth tier. I don't know when I'll hit the sixth. I would appreciate it if you could talk about this. I'm sure much of Sky Palace would appreciate it."
"Let me think about it. What is the Suppress Evil skill, anyway?" Han Sen asked quietly.
Han Sen still had permission to go to the holy house. If Suppress Evil suited him, he supposed he could learn it. Yu Jing quickly explained the skill to Han Sen, hoping to spark his interest.
After Han Sen heard what it was, he chuckled. "If I start learning it now, I don't know when I'll be ready to hit the stage. This geno art is too complicated, and it is unlikely I'll be able to learn it in a single day."
Suppress Evil was complicated, and he couldn't just learn it on a whim. Out of all the elites in Sky Palace, the only one who had fulfilled all eleven tiers was the Sky Palace leader himself. Well, the only person that was still alive, at least.
Yu Jing said Suppress Evil had a textbook of thirty-million words. It would take a long time to read it, and even longer to practice. Spending one whole year getting to the first tier was considered the average. It'd take him a few years if he was to make a speech about it.
"That is what I was expecting. Suppress Evil is indeed too difficult. I have no teacher, and it is too hard to learn." Yu Jing had a wry smile.
After Yu Jing was gone, Han Sen decided to go to the holy house. He used the last opportunity he had to nab a copy of Suppress Evil. Any of the Sky could learn it, but if an outsider wanted to, they would have to commit to doing a good deed.
Han Sen didn't get this geno art so he could lecture on it, though. He developed a personal interest in the skill after hearing what Yu Jing had to say.
Suppress Evil did not deal damage. Its power was focused on suppression. It was a rare Seal geno art. The Turtle technique, which Han Sen had created, was also a Seal geno art. And that had proven useful.
After finishing Turtle, Han Sen had found himself pining for another Seal geno art. Up until now, he had yet to find one.
That skill could be used from a Baron to a deified elite. When your own body became stronger, the technique became better, too. It was very effective when you were deified, and so it was hard to find a skill like that.
The skill was split into a book for each tier, and most people could only take one at a time. This rule was intended to prohibit leaks. Fortunately, Han Sen was given permission to take all eleven of them by the Sky Palace leader.
After returning to his island, he started reading through the content thoroughly. It took him a few days to read it all, and it was lucky Han Sen had a good memory. If he forgot what came first, it'd all have been for nothing.
"This is a powerful geno art." After Han Sen read it, he found himself starting to like it a whole lot more.

Chapter 2090 Night Ghos
Night Ring 12th Street, capital city of Planet Night Ghost.
Planet Night Ghost was a planet belonging to Sky Palace. The planet was mostly populated by the Night Ghosts, however. They weren't a higher race, but they sure enjoyed fighting. They were only active at night, and if it weren't for being nocturnal, they'd have likely left Planet Night Ghost and become a higher race.
Their race could not stand the light, and because of this, they were practically stuck on Planet Night Ghost. Under the protection of Sky Palace, however, they were well off.
Over the past few months, strange things had begun to happen on Planet Night Ghost. Many Night Ghosts had been killed, but the perpetrator of the murders was still at large.
The entire planet had been scoured to find the murderer, but it was all to no avail.
In a certain castle in Night Ring 12th Street, the leader of the Night Ghosts, Sleepless Duke, was having a meeting with two young men. One of the men looked cold, whereas the other was smiling. He was holding a sweet-looking, five- year-old girl.
Those two young men were Lone Bamboo and Han Sen. They were here to investigate the strange deaths. It was a part of their training.
Han Sen hadn't wanted to come, but he was ordered there by the elders. He couldn't refuse the command, and so he had to go there with Lone Bamboo.
Han Sen was looking at the female Night Ghost leader, Sleepless Duke. She had a sexy body, highlighted with tight leather clothing. It revealed her curves as if she was wearing nothing at all.
It wasn't long until Han Sen realized the truth; she really wasn't wearing anything. The tight-leather clothing wasn't clothes—it was her skin!
She had short black hair and eyes. She had black wings like those of a bat, and she had a tail that was like a black whip.
It made her look very sexy.
She was two meters tall, a little taller than Han Sen. She looked very strong.
"Mister Lone Bamboo, please find the murderer for us. If this continues, all the Night Ghosts will be slain," Sleepless Duke growled, anger coloring her voice.
Sky Palace was very secretive, and not even the Night Ghosts knew who Han Sen and Bao'er were. They had only heard his name before, but his accomplishments were unknown to them.
The Night Ghosts themselves were quite secretive, as well.
"Are there bodies?" Lone Bamboo asked impassively.
Sleepless Duke shook her head. "When the victims die, they swiftly degrade into black water. It leaves little in the way of clues to examine."
"Give me a Night Ghost that has died recently," Lone Bamboo said.
"It has been prepared already. The information is here for you." Sleepless Duke pointed to a document on the table while she spoke.
"Brother Lone Bamboo, you can handle this. I will go stretch my legs with Bao'er." Han Sen waved at Lone Bamboo, and then he went outside for a walk.
"Sir! Why don't I send a guard to accompany you?" Sleepless Duke did not know Han Sen, but she still stood up and made him the offer.
"It's okay. I'll be alright walking around Night Ring 12th Street." Han Sen walked straight out of the Duke manor with Bao'er without waiting for a reply.
Planet Night Ghost had no sun, so the entire planet was very cold as a result. But there was no water, either, so there was no ice on the planet's surface. The only things Han Sen could see were castles built from dull, grey rock.
A Night Ghosts were a very hardy race. They did not need food or water, and they could gain energy from the dark. It worked to charge them.
They were not afraid of high temperatures or low temperatures, and neither did they require oxygen. The only thing they were afraid of was the light. It blurred their vision, and if it was intense enough, it would permanently blind them. Aside from that, it wasn't too bad, though.
All the Night Ghosts were xenogeneics, and they were bom as Barons. Their blood was very good, and many high races weren't as powerful as they were.
They were limited by their obvious Achilles heel and their lack of resources. Their strongest member was just a Duke, too. There wasn't a single King amongst them.
The whole planet was dark. Only the starlight flowed across the castles, casting faint shadows across the ground. As he walked, Han Sen got the sense that there were monsters lurking in the dark.
Night Ghosts were good at killing in the dark, but over the past few months, twenty of them had been murdered. Most of the victims were Marquises.
The Night Ghosts had employed many advanced technologies to search for the potential killer, but they had been unable to find a trace.
Two days ago, when another Marquise died, he was attending Sleepless Duke's own dinner party. Most of the Night Ghost elites were there that day, but that Marquise had been silently slain on the balcony. No one there, including Sleepless Duke, had a clue how he had been killed. The Night Ghosts discovered his body on the balcony, but not before he was already dissolving into black water. His identity was confirmed by the clothing he had been wearing.
Han Sen was in Night Ring 12th Street. His Dongxuan Aura was turned on, and so everything was in his mind's eye. He could see many Night Ghosts staring at him from the dark corners.
They looked cold, and they looked at him with disdain. That did not mean they were hostile, however. That was just how they were. They did not like outsiders, and they particularly didn't like talking to them. Other races had occupied this planet thousands of years ago, but the Night Ghosts had killed them off.
The only ones they obeyed were the Sky, who had once defeated them.
Han Sen looked as if he belonged to the Sky, but his sense did not. The Night Ghosts could smell that Han Sen was not an actual Sky. On a dark street, an extremely curvy Night Ghost woman blocked Han Sen's path.
"Sky Palace sent you here?"
"Yeah." Han Sen nodded.
"Why are you not a Sky yourself? Matters like these are usually resolved by true Sky." The female Night Ghost frowned.
Han Sen shrugged. "A real student of Sky Palace is in the Duke's manor right now. He is a pure Sky. I'm just his assistant."
"I see." The female Night Ghost felt relieved. Learning that a Sky had come seemed to reassure her that their problems would soon be resolved.
"What's your name?" Han Sen asked her.
"Li Duo," the female Night Ghost said.
"I need to investigate on behalf of the Sky brother. Can you show me around?" Han Sen smiled.
"Where would you like to go?" Li Duo asked. Perhaps it was because Han Sen had mentioned his ties to the Sky, but she didn't look as if she was going to refuse to guide him.
"Take me to where the Night Ghosts were murdered," Han Sen said.

Chapter 2091 Kahn
Han Sen followed Li Duo through Night Ring 12th Street. They checked out a few places, with many of them being murder scenes. Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura to scan each area for details.
The strangest thing was that the only traces Han Sen picked up had been left by Night Ghosts. He couldn't see any sign of there being any other creatures around.
"Strange. Normally, any creature that passes through would leave behind a substance to trace. There cannot be nothing. Unless the murderer can control its physical form to the molecular level, this suggests the murderer might very well be a Night Ghost. There is no evidence of any other being around here, after all," Han Sen thought.
"Did you find anything?" Li Duo couldn't help but ask. She had already taken Han Sen to several locations.
"No." Han Sen shook his head.
"I told you that we need the Sky to sort this out. We'll need your Sky people to come and check out these crime scenes," Li Duo said.
"He is on his way. I'm just trying to do some of my own investigating. Take me someplace else, so I can report to Brother Sky," Han Sen said seriously.
Hearing that, Li Duo led Han Sen to another crime scene.
"Are there any other intelligent creatures around this planet?" Han Sen asked as they walked.
The universe was comprised of a variety of races. It was rare to see one race govern more than their own small area. Han Sen had been in Night Ring 12th Street for a while now, and all he had seen living there were Night Ghosts.
"The environment of this planet is special. Most races couldn't fathom living here," Li Duo said.
"There aren't any other races living in Night Ring 12th Street?" Han Sen asked.
Li Duo thought and then said, "There are a few on the planet, but they aren't in Night Ring 12th Street."
"Oh, what does that mean?" Han Sen looked confused.
Li Duo hesitated for a moment, but then said, "Night Ghosts love eating meat, but there aren't many creatures on Planet Night Ghost. So, the meat is imported from another planet. Over the last century, we have been cooperating with the Taurus. They have a base not far outside of Night Ring 12th Street. If you want to find a foreigner, they would be it."
"I recall that the Taurus belonged to the Demon. Why don't you buy food from Sky Palace, anyway? Why rely on the Taurus?" Han Sen asked after a moment.
"We have no choice. The food we require is special. Normal races cannot satisfy our needs, and the Taurus are the only ones who can supply what we need. The Sky Palace leader has approved our ties," Li Duo said.
"Where is their base now?" Han Sen thought he'd have to go and take a look. The Taurus were dangerous, and they very well could have been the ones doing this.
"It cannot be them," Li Duo said immediately.
"Why?" Han Sen was surprised by her certainty.
"We have a contract. They only live in their base, and they do not venture beyond it. And furthermore, there are cameras all around their base. If they left their zone, they would be discovered. If they entered Night Ring 12th they'd be found out because they look so different."
After a while, Li Duo resumed talking. She said, "The leader of that base is Marquise Khan. He is of the Demon. He is a noble gentleman, too. He wouldn't be the one doing this."
"It's okay. I am just going to go scope it out on behalf of my brother. It's so I can have answers for him if he asks me about them." Han Sen smiled while he spoke.
He followed Li Duo out of Night Ring 12th Street. They were going to the Taurus base. Han Sen was thinking, "The Demon are the leaders of the Taurus. I guess it isn't too strange for a Demon to be here, but still, the Demon might have motive… Is it just a coincidence?"
When they reached the Taurus base, he realized that it was actually like a space station. The interior was wholly sealed.
"It looks like they can't cope with the environment here. They needed to create a place that was suitable for them to live. Otherwise, they could not stay here for very long." After Han Sen entered, he felt that it was a far more comfortable environment for a human as well.
"Miss Li Duo, why are you here?" Two Taurus guards smiled. It looked as if she was well-known around there.
Han Sen was not surprised. He hadn't thought that an ordinary Night Ghost would try to prohibit his passage. She must have been sent by Sleepless Duke, but her exact identity was still unknown to him.
But through their conversation, Han Sen had quickly realized that Li Duo was Sleepless Duke's daughter.
"Miss Li Duo."
Han Sen and Li Duo led to a meeting room, and shortly after, a Demon wearing a black suit entered. He looked very refined, and he said hello to Li Duo.
Li Duo stood up and said, "Marquise Kahn. I am sorry to bother you."
Han Sen was checking out Marquise Kahn. He was an attractive Demon. His face was handsome and memorable.
Something about him gave Han Sen the sense he was dangerous, though. It was the same feeling Han Sen got when he encountered Sharon.
"A small Taurus base has a Demon leader? This whole thing is getting interesting." Han Sen was sizing up Kahn with interest.
He had been focusing on practicing geno arts lately, and he had only learned a little bit of Suppress Evil. He had only come here because he had been ordered to. But now Han Sen had an interest in the affair. He didn't think the mission was as bad as he initially believed it to be.
"Marquise Kahn, this is an assistant of Sky Palace. He is merely here to look around. This is just a normal investigation." When Marquise Kahn showed up, Li Duo could barely keep her eyes off him. Anyone could tell Li Duo liked him very much.
"I'm Kahn. It is nice to meet you, Mister Han." Kahn looked at Han Sen and smiled. Then, he extended his hand.
You know him?" Li Duo was surprised. She didn't say Han Sen's name, and she hadn't introduced him. If Kahn knew his surname, then he was already familiar with Han Sen.
"Han Sen from Sky Palace. I'm afraid the whole world knows who he is," Marquise Kahn said.
Li Duo looked at Han Sen with confusion.
"Marquise Kahn, can you answer a few questions?" Han Sen shook his hand and smiled.
"Of course, but before that, I hope you can come take a look at something. Murders like those in your investigation have occurred here, too," Kahn said.

Chapter 2092 The Secrets of Night Ghos
In the base, Han Sen was led to two puddles of black water. It was the same manner of death that the others had died. When Han Sen scanned the area, he could only detect traces of the Taurus and Kahn. There were also some Night Ghost substances, but there was nothing beyond that.
After checking all the cameras, they could not locate the murderer. Those two Taurus officers had died in their rooms.
From the security feeds, no one else had been seen entering the rooms. And the locked doors showed no signs of forced entry, until they were broken down when rescuers had entered to search for the missing Taurus. There were no other creatures around. Nothing else had shown up.
Just as with the other victims, there were no clues to be found.
Han Sen was not a detective, and he planned on letting Lone Bamboo be the one to handle this matter. Before Han Sen took his leave, he turned back to Kahn.
"Marquise Kahn, may I ask why you are here?"
Kahn's expression did not change, and he calmly said, "Because the Night Ghosts ordered something quite expensive. Because of that, I delivered the goods myself. I didn't expect things like this would transpire after my arrival."
"May I know what these expensive goods are?" Han Sen asked.
"I am sorry, but we are committed to the privacy of our customers. If you would like to know what the items are, you will have to speak with Sleepless Duke," Kahn said.
Han Sen nodded, and he readied himself to leave. After walking two steps, he stepped back. "Have those products been delivered?"
"Yes," Kahn affirmed.
"Thanks." Han Sen then left the Taurus base.
"Are you famous?" Li Duo asked Han Sen as they walked back.
Kahn knew who Han Sen was, and he had been quite polite to him. It surprised her. The only other person who received such deference from Kahn was Sleepless Duke herself, from what Li Duo could recall.
But when Li Duo thought about the way Kahn had treated Han Sen, it was more like Kahn was simply wary of him.
"Not really. It's just because I killed a Demon that they focus on me. They kind of hate me." Han Sen laughed.
"I see." Li Duo was surprised.
Han Sen looked at Li Duo and randomly said, "It looks like you're close with Kahn."
Li Duo blushed. "Not very close. He and my mother conduct trade negotiations in Night Ring 12th Street, and he has beaten a few of our strongest warriors in an event. It's how I recognize him."
"What did your mother buy that required a Marquise Demon to deliver it?" Han Sen asked.
"I don't know." Li Duo shook her head.
Han Sen asked a few other questions, then returned to the Duke manor with Bao'er to look for Lone Bamboo. When Han Sen tracked down Lone Bamboo's room, he found the man taking a nap.
"What did you find?" Han Sen asked.
"There is a problem with Sleepless Duke," Lone Bamboo said with certainty, opening his eyes.
"What problem?" Han Sen quickly asked.
"I do not know, but I can tell she is hiding something. With my power, I can't uncover whatever she is refusing to reveal," Lone Bamboo said coldly.
Han Sen told Lone Bamboo what he had found, and Lone Bamboo sighed. "As far as I can tell, Night Ghosts need sustenance to survive. But they only eat fresh food. They don't eat anything that has been dead for more than a day. The Taurus bring them living stock. Because of the Sky Palace ruling, the living creatures need to be killed before reaching Night Ring 12th Street. Nothing alive can go there."
"Why does that matter?" Han Sen said.
"Night Ghost is a disturbing race that dines on flesh, but as for why they must eat goods that are alive… It's not as simple as filling their stomachs. They don't just eat meat. They consume something we don't quite understand. The best comparison we can make is that they eat the souls of their prey."
"Souls?" Han Sen was surprised. So far, no one had proved souls actually existed.
"It's just a description. When Night Ghosts eat, they can absorb a mysterious substance. It boosts their levels, and especially the strength of their wills. There was a Night Ghost Duke that had a will that was stronger than a King class," Lone Bamboo sad.
Han Sen was surprised, and he said, "Even better than a King class? Was it deified or half-deified?"
"It should have been a half-deified." Lone Bamboo continued to say, "But evolving that way is like cheating. Their minds grow confused, and their own souls might merge with the consumed creature's. They go crazy and become filled with bloodlust. They can even kill their own families. So, Sky Palace forbids them from eating creatures that are alive."
You think Kahn gave something alive to Sleepless Duke?" Han Sen now understood his line of thinking.
Lone Bamboo nodded and said, "It's just a guess. Sky Palace keeps a keen eye on things here, though. They check all creatures that are ferried to Night Ring 12th Street. Things have run smoothly for years, but maybe the guard slipped up, and now someone is taking advantage of things. Like you said, Kahn's presence seems suspicious. What item delivery might require the supervision of a Demon?"
"This is all possible, but why would the Demon agree to this? Do you think this is all connected to the murders on Planet Night Ghost?" Han Sen asked quietly.
"I'm not sure, but we will have to ask her," Lone Bamboo said coldly.
"Will she admit to this?" Even if she was involved, Han Sen didn't think it was likely that she'd just volunteer that information.
"She has no choice," Lone Bamboo replied calmly.
Han Sen slumped his shoulders. He wasn't good at this sort of thing, so he was just going to follow Lone Bamboo's lead.
Lone Bamboo wanted to find her right away, but the people of Duke manor told him she was out. It took another two hours before they had the chance to see her again.

Chapter 2093 Blueblood Crystallizer?
"Mister Lone Bamboo, I've heard that you are in a rush to find me. What is the matter?" Sleepless Duke asked Lone Bamboo.
"Kahn delivered some special goods to you. I would like to know what they are." Lone Bamboo told her directly.
Sleepless Duke sighed and said, "I suppose there is no use hiding anything. The goods Kahn gave me were a bunch of living creatures."
"Why would you do that?" Lone Bamboo asked.
"You should both know that after we eat living creatures, our mental fortitude may develop problems," Sleepless Duke said tiredly. "Eating them is indeed a very dangerous thing for us to do."
Then why are you buying them?" Han Sen asked.
"It is simple: if I don't eat living creatures, then I will never improve. We level up faster that way. Without eating living creatures, our gain of power is slow. I am a Duke, and if I don't eat living creatures, I will not become a King. This is our goal, is it not? No matter how much treasure I am given, I will never level up. Eating living creatures is the only way to accomplish this." Sleepless Duke spoke with a mournful voice.
"Are you or one of the creatures responsible for the murders?" Lone Bamboo frowned.
"One of the living ones escaped. I was afraid of Sky Palace finding out, and so I did not report it." Sleepless Duke gave a wry smile. "I never thought things would come to this. I thought that since this was taking place on Planet Night Ghost, I could find the foe quickly and kill it. But I have failed to find it, and as a result, so many innocents have lost their lives.
I cannot hide this any longer."
"What is the creature that escaped you?" Han Sen asked Sleepless Duke.
"I do not know." Sleepless Duke shook her head.
Han Sen's voice grew hard. "How could you not know? You were the buyer! How can you not know what you were buying?"
Sleepless Duke's expression was bitter now. "I needed high-level creatures. I couldn't go for something too big, as I would be found out. There weren't many that were suitable for purchase, so my requirements weren't strict. I asked for anything that was a Duke. I checked the receipt, and one of them said it was a crystallizer. It did look like a crystallizer, but how could it be that powerful?"
"Crystallizer?" Han Sen frowned. He did not expect this would have something to do with a crystallizer.
Sleepless Duke went on to say, "A crystallizer cannot escape from its cage and kill so many Night Ghosts without leaving a trail. I think it must have been a race that merely looked like a crystallizer. I tried to confirm this with Kahn, but he told me it was just a Duke crystallizer, and that he did not know anything further."
Sleepless Duke started to say something more, then hesitated.
"Say it," Lone Bamboo commanded.
Sleepless Duke hesitated again, but she went on to say, "It is rare to see a crystallizer in the geno universe. I don't know too much about them. I have searched for information about them after the murders began, but there is little to learn. One strange thing, however, is that crystallizer blood should be red. The crystallizer that was sent here, however, had blue blood."
"Blue blood?" Han Sen jumped.
Yes, blue blood. It was injured when it was sent here, and it was bleeding. It looked as if it had been badly damaged, and that was why I planned on eating it first. So, I removed the spell that had been put on him, and I locked him in a room. But when I was ready to eat and went there to see him, he was gone. Nothing in the room was damaged or out of place. It was as if he had just vanished."
"Take us there," Han Sen said.
The blueblood crystallizer sounded an awful lot like a Blood Legion member. They looked just like crystallizers, so anyone in the geno universe would assume that's what they were. And furthermore, blue blood was exclusive to members of Blood Legion. Crystallizers and humans were supposed to have red blood.
Sleepless Duke brought Han Sen and Lone Bamboo to the prison cell. Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura, but he couldn't catch the trace of anyone other than Sleepless Duke.
You really locked him in here?" Han Sen looked at Sleepless Duke. An injured creature must have left a substance behind, and it would at least be dripping blood.
Yes. He left some blood behind, but I cleaned it up." Sleepless Duke brought out a box and showed it to Han Sen and Lone Bamboo.
Lone Bamboo, when seeing it, frowned. "That is its blood?"
Han Sen's eyebrows rose. It was just a blue crystal in a box, and the crystal looked similar to Han Sen's own crystal blood.
"I feel strange, knowing that its blood turned to crystal. They are crystallizers, but they aren't supposed to have this ability. It's what has got me thinking that he isn't actually a crystallizer," Sleepless Duke said.
Han Sen picked up the blue crystal from the box. He knew that it was indeed a blueblood crystal. And just like his own blood, it left no molecules behind for him to detect. That was why he could not find a trace.
"It looks like the person Kahn sent was from Blood Legion," Han Sen guessed to himself.
"Gentlemen, what I have told you is the truth. If you want to punish someone, punish me. But this has nothing to do with my people. Please help them and find the creature responsible. It cannot be allowed to kill more Night Ghosts," Sleepless Duke begged.
You're coming with us to talk to Kahn. We have to find out where he got that crystallizer Duke from. If we find out who he is, we will be able to take action," Han Sen said to Sleepless Duke.
"Okay, I will follow you." Sleepless Duke really was eager to cooperate.
Han Sen went back to the Taurus base, but when they reached it, the gate had already been smashed open. They ran in, and they found black water and scattered bits of armor all over the place. The armor belonged to the Taurus.
They ran in and soon noticed that not a single Taurus had survived the assault.
Pang! A noise echoed out of a nearby hallway.
"What is that place?" Han Sen asked Sleepless Duke.
"That is their company's warehouse," Sleepless Duke said.
The three ventured toward it. After a few turns, they did indeed reach a very large warehouse. Outside it, Kahn was fighting a human-looking man.

Chapter 2094 Night Ghost Battle
"Please give me a hand taking down this *sshole! He is the one that slew my workers, and many Night Ghosts as well," Kahn called out when he saw Han Sen and the others coming. He looked joyous in relief.
"We have finally found it!" Sleepless Duke shouted happily as she ran to join the fight. "Please help us."
Han Sen and Lone Bamboo looked at each other, then moved forward to help.
The man glowed blue as he fought. He looked injured, but he was still more than a match for Kahn, who was a Marquise Demon. The man was impressive.
When the three of them join Kahn, the fight became a four-on-one. That imbalance of power should have ended the fight immediately, but although they managed to suppress the man, they were unable to kill him.
Han Sen could confirm right away that the man was a member of Blood Legion. He was very much like God's Retribution, and the presence he had was something only members of Blood Legion tended to carry.
The man roared like a beast. His fist punched the knife out of Kahn's hand. And then, another fist came to knock Sleepless Duke's claws away. He could fight two people at once, and that meant he was really strong.
Kahn used Sky Demon powers, and even so, the man was able to shrug off the attacks that came crashing against his body. Sleepless Duke was a Night Ghost Duke, but not even she was able to claim an advantage over that man.
As the man used his fists to attack Kahn and Sleepless Duke, Lone Bamboo's sword swept toward the man's chest. He shouldn't have been able to block Lone Bamboo's simple, albeit powerful attack.
The man exploded with blue light, though. He stumbled back a bit, losing his balance. It also meant he dodged Lone Bamboo's sword.
But Han Sen, who had silently moved behind the man, went at the man's throat with Ghost Teeth Knife.
Kahn and Sleepless Duke rushed forward, with knives and claws respectively, to attack the man.
Dong!
There was a loud noise, as Han Sen grabbed the man and threw him at Lone Bamboo. He had to use his own knife to repel Kahn and Sleepless Duke's incoming strikes, though.
Han Sen's legs dug a pair of trenches into the ground as he was knocked back ten meters. But now, Lone Bamboo's sword was at the man's throat' not letting him move.
"Han Sen, what are you doing? He killed so many of our people; he should die!" Sleepless Duke looked incredibly angry. She flared up with a black, demonic fire. With her claws, she came in to attack the man.
Han Sen flapped his dragon wings and teleported in front of her. He used Tooth for a Tooth, slashing across her claw air to deflect her strike.
Han Sen's body fell back, and Sleepless Duke flapped her wings. She looked like a demon as she screeched, "Han Sen! Is it because you are of the same race that you protect him? Our people cannot die in vain. No matter what!"
"Yes. Our workers cannot have died in vain, either. He must pay." Kahn threw a slash towards the man in Lone Bamboo's grip.
"Lone Bamboo, keep him alive." Han Sen lifted Ghost Teeth Knife and sprang toward Sleepless Duke. He was pushed back.
Sleepless Duke was much stronger than Han Sen, and Han Sen knew he couldn't beat her in a direct fight.
Lone Bamboo's sword was still at the man's throat. He ignored the knife Kahn was using and raised a finger to point at Kahn. A swordlight swiftly shot toward the dead center of Kahn's forehead.
Lone Bamboo could not dodge the Sky Demon power that never missed. If Kahn attacked that way, Lone Bamboo was sure to be hit. But also, Kahn's head would get perforated at the same time.
Kahn frowned and changed his skill. He fought Lone Bamboo with his knife.
But no one had an advantage. Kahn couldn't commit to an attack without leaving an opening that Lone Bamboo could exploit. So, he had to change up the techniques he employed.
"You are Han Sen?" The man under Lone Bamboo's sword did not look scared. He watched Han Sen fight Sleepless Duke.
Han Sen was weaker than she was, but he had speed and Break Space Flash. He could stop her from going after Lone Bamboo anytime he needed to.
"I am," Han Sen answered.
The man immediately said, "God's Retribution has spoken much about you. You should know about where I come from."
"Spill the beans," Han Sen snapped. This was the last confirmation he needed that the man was from Blood Legion.
"I don't know what happened. When I was badly injured, the Taurus brought me here. I had some power, so I broke out. But I was stuck in that warehouse. I do not know what they are saying or what has supposedly transpired, but I haven't left this place since they brought me here," the man said.
"Nonsense! Do you believe him, Lone Bamboo? Are the deaths of our many Night Ghosts all a fabrication? Are the deaths of the Taurus all faked, too?" Sleepless Duke shouted. Her attempts to attack the man never paused.
Han Sen slashed towards Sleepless Duke to stop her from moving. He coldly said, "Sleepless Duke, I assure you that he has never been to Night Ring 12th Street. He was never placed in your captivity. You are lying!"
"What makes you so sure? You are merely protecting your kind," Sleepless Duke screamed, then threw another claw air at Han Sen like she was hurling a net.
Han Sen flapped his dragon wings and disappeared. He re-appeared next to Sleepless Duke and coldly said, "Brother Lone Bamboo, take him away."
Yes," Lone Bamboo agreed. He began pulling the man back, still fighting Kahn as he went.
Seeing Lone Bamboo dragging the man away, with Kahn unable to stop him, Sleepless Duke screamed in rage. It was so loud that it reverberated from every corner of the base.
"None of you can leave!" Sleepless Duke screamed at ear-shattering volume.
"Sleepless Duke, do you know what you are doing?" Lone Bamboo ground out.
"Of course I know what I am doing. The Night Ghosts have been imprisoned by the Sky for many years. We will no longer obey you!" Sleepless Duke screamed.
Many shadows were gathering in the sky. They were like black clouds, and they were all Night Ghosts.
The Night Ghosts that appeared in the sky were different from the usual ones, however. They looked murderous, and the scariest thing about them was the fact that they were mostly Marquise. And many of them were Dukes, too.
Lone Bamboo frowned. The Night Ghosts were only supposed to have one Duke, and that was Sleepless Duke. If they now had so many, it meant that they must have all been eating living creatures to level up quickly.

Chapter 2095 Night Ghost Betrayal
The whole base was infested with Night Ghosts. Han Sen and Lone Bamboo were trapped. If they wanted to escape, they would have to fight and kill their way through the host of Night Ghosts.
But there were thousands of them, and there were more than a thousand Dukes. Han Sen and Lone Bamboo had only just become Marquises, and they were carrying an injured man between them. It would not be easy for the three of them to escape. Han Sen looked up at the Night Ghosts that were looking down at them like hungry tigers. Then he turned to her, emotionlessly.
"Sleepless Duke, do you know what will happen if the Night Ghosts betray Sky Palace?"
"Ha! We will go and join the Demon, anyway. Sky Palace will not be able to do anything," Sleepless Duke snarled.
"It makes sense that Marquise Kahn is here, then. It has always been your plot to betray Sky Palace!" Han Sen looked at Kahn next, and he asked, "But I don't understand. If you were planning to join Demon, why bother getting us involved?"
Sleepless Duke grunted and said, "That it was merely an accident. We planned to use these living creatures to turn all our warriors into Dukes. Then we'd have the strength to smash through Sky Palace's defenses. We did not expect one to run out and rouse the attention of the Observation Department."
"With the power you wield, you could have easily killed a wounded man." Han Sen looked at the man who was badly wounded. Kahn and Sleepless Duke should have been able to defeat him. With the injuries he had sustained, there was no way he could have fought off so many Night Ghosts.
Sleepless Duke did not answer, but the man laughed and said, "I controlled the lives of those creatures. She wants me dead, but she doesn't want those other creatures to die. That is why I am still alive."
"I told you to give those creatures up! Kill him and go to the Demon. If you had listened to me, none of this would have happened," Kahn told Sleepless Duke.
"Without these creatures, my people would not be able to become Dukes. God knows how many of our people would have been killed breaking through those defenses. I had no choice in this matter," Sleepless Duke said.
"So, you planned all this? All for us to be the ones that killed him?" Now Han Sen knew the truth of the matter.
"Something like that. But I did not expect the two of you to come here together." Sleepless Duke coldly went on to say, "But it does not matter now. Since it has come to this, we cannot fall back. You can all go to hell!"
After that, Sleepless Duke screamed. The horde of Night Ghosts flapped their wings like demons and came racing down to Han Sen.
Lone Bamboo let the man go, thrusting the three of them into a horrendous battle.
The power and speed of the Night Ghosts were terrifying in the dark. It was no wonder why they were good at fighting. They were high level, and they had strong wills. The Duke Night Ghosts were a serious threat.
Bao'er was sitting on Han Sen's shoulder, observing Han Sen's fighting with curiosity.
Instead of participating in the battle, Kahn merely watched Han Sen from afar. "Han Sen, you are a powerful being to defeat Sharon. I would have liked the opportunity to kill you myself. I did not expect you would come here. That is disappointing."
"Disappointing? What?" Han Sen flapped his dragon wings and teleported in front of Kahn. Then, he slashed towards him.
Dong!
Kahn's demon knife came up to block. The impact sent them both wobbling back. Neither attack did anything.
But Han Sen was immediately surrounded by Night Ghosts. It was a very dangerous position to be in.
"It is disappointing that you'll die here today, and I will be robbed of the chance of killing you myself in a one-on-one. It is a shame whenever people like you and Lone Bamboo have to die this way." Kahn sighed.
"In that case, you won't be disappointed. We will fight," Han Sen said.
"It is a shame, but I do not see how you plan on surviving. The Night Ghosts are good in the dark. It wouldn't matter if you and Lone Bamboo had a clone army of yourselves; on Planet Night Ghost, you would still be destroyed," Kahn said.
"Maybe not." Han Sen teleported away from the attacks of the Night Ghosts. And then, he spoke to Sleepless Duke. "Sleepless Duke, there is still time for you to reverse this mistake. The Night Ghosts can still be allowed to live. If you continue down this path, all of the Night Ghosts in this universe will be wiped out. Do you want your daughter Li Duo and the rest of your people to die with you?"
"I would rather die than remain a prisoner. Whoever gets in the way of us becoming free will die," Sleepless Duke shrieked. She flapped her wings and came at Han Sen.
Han Sen petrified his body and stomped the ground, unleashing a shockwave of petrification. But the Night Ghosts around him did not petrify. This shocked Han Sen.
"Do not waste your energy. The only thing that can defeat the Night Ghosts is light. Petrify won't work on them! Their bodies aren't made of flesh, so they won't be petrified!" Kahn smiled.
If the Night Ghosts weren't so excellent, the Demons wouldn't have spent so much time trying to recruit them.
Han Sen frowned. The Night Ghosts were harder to handle than he thought.
Things were going badly for Lone Bamboo and the injured man. They were holding on, but they couldn't escape in their current condition. They would die the moment they became exhausted.
"Come to me!" Han Sen shouted at Lone Bamboo and the man.
Lone Bamboo heard that, and his jade sword began to shine. The Night Ghosts near Han Sen backed away.
The man exploded with blue light as he came running towards Han Sen.
Han Sen waved his Ghost Teeth Knife. The Night Ghosts that he had cut suddenly found their wounds cracking and widening.
Sleepless Duke screamed and leaped at Han Sen. Han Sen teleported away to evade her.
The three of them stood together, back-to-back, as the Night Ghosts came at them from all sides. Ghost airs were everywhere. It looked as if they had gone on a trip to hell itself.
Lone Bamboo and the man wanted to start killing their attackers in earnest, but Han Sen stopped them. A blue light came out of his body, covering the three of them.
The blue light became a giant, translucent eggshell. It encased them.
Powerful ghost airs were everywhere as countless ghost claws came against the translucent eggshell. The impacts made squeaky noises, and Han Sen could feel each blow as a sort of pressure.
But when those ghost airs broke, the translucent shield was unmoved. It did not even vibrate.

Chapter 2096 Shield
"Let's see how many attacks you can block," Sleepless Duke shouted. The other Night Ghosts began to cackle, gathering up a force of ghost air.
Han Sen had raised a single shield against an entire army. Sleepless Duke thought he must have a death wish.
When the three defenders had been actively fighting, the Dukes and Marquises were unable to gather up power. There was too much danger that their attacks would hit other Night Ghosts, so they intentionally weakened their attacks.
But now, the three of them had made themselves into an incredibly tempting target. The Night Ghosts gathered up all the power they had, then focused on a single part of the shield. Not even strong creatures could withstand the strength of what was coming.
Sleepless Duke had a plan. She needed to take Han Sen and Lone Bamboo as hostages. If she did that, she'd have an even easier time getting through Sky Palace's defenses.
Han Sen and Lone Bamboo were important to Sky Palace. They wouldn't be sacrificed easily.
The roiling mass of ghost air covered the sky now, and it was trying to consume the blue light. It was like the world was about to be consumed.
Boom!
When the ghost air landed, the entire base was annihilated. The construct was practically vaporized.
A thousand Dukes and ten thousand Marquises were attacking simultaneously. The area was brought to ruin, and the power continued down into the ground, creating a substantial crater.
Under a scary power such as that, even a Duke would have been blown to bits.
When the dust settled, Sleepless Duke and the Night Ghosts could only stare. Kahn's eyes were full of surprise.
A blue translucent shield sat on the ground, appearing unblemished. Han Sen and the other two stood inside, uninjured by the attack. It was hard to believe that such a frightening amount of power could descend upon that simple shield and leave it undamaged.
"Is that all the power the Night Ghosts have?" Han Sen asked casually.
"Let's see how well you can block this," Sleepless Duke screamed. The Night Ghosts gathered up another enormous mass of ghost air. They became angry ghosts that descended on the blue shield.
Countless ghost airs slammed repeatedly into the blue shield. Even the nearby mountains were shattered by these attacks.
But the blue shield did not even shudder or shake. Even the ghost airs that could destroy mountains were reduced to a firework-sparkle against it.
Sleepless Duke kept on screaming. Thousands of Night Ghosts kept attacking from all angles, but still, they could not undo the blue shield.
Han Sen floated in the shield, while Lone Bamboo had sat down for a bit of rest. The man was in the middle of healing himself.
Sleepless Duke's face was white with fury, and she was unable to fathom what sort of treasure Han Sen had brought with him. It could block each and every attack that was thrown at it.
Han Sen's treasure wouldn't actually cost him his power, either. If it did, he would have reacted in some way when the Night Ghosts attacked him.
You guys can continue." Han Sen looked entirely unconcerned. It was as if nothing was going on. Han Sen stood up and stretched, and then he began walking up into the air. It looked as if he was going to walk off the planet, right into space.
The blue shield around Han Sen was like a godlight. It continued to encase Han Sen, unwavering in the slightest.
"Kill him!" Sleepless Duke's scream became a roar.
Countless Night Ghosts tried to attack Han Sen, and ghost airs hit the blue shield continuously. Some Night Ghosts used knives, and some used claws or even hammers to attack.
But even so, the attacks were still useless. They couldn't prevent Han Sen from walking off into space. The attacks against the blue shield were like nothing at all. They couldn't even make the shielding orb shake.
Sleepless Duke had bared her teeth in a grimace as she tried her hardest to attack the blue shield. Her fingers started to bleed, but even so, she was still unable to bring it down.
She felt scared. Powerless. And most of all, she felt hopeless. She knew what would happen if Han Sen and Lone Bamboo were able to escape; it would be a disaster for the Night Ghosts. But they couldn't do anything against the blue shield. They were hopeless.
"Sleepless Duke! There is one more thing we can do." Kahn's voice rang through Sleepless Duke's ears.
"Tell me! How can I kill them?" Sleepless Duke turned to him frantically, looking like she was clutching a lifeline.
Kahn waved his hand, and a spear with a red-pattern appeared in his palm.
Kahn threw it to Sleepless Duke and said, "This is a treasure of a King-class Demon. It is called a Blood Demon Spear. With its power, it should be able to break Han Sen's shield.
Sleepless Duke frowned. "We don't have a King class elite to wield it. If I use it, I cannot make use of all of its power."
Kahn smiled. "That is what is so amazing about this spear. It does not require its wielder to be King-class. It can use its max power regardless. If this wasn't the case, I wouldn't have told you it could break that shield.
"Really?" Sleepless Duke lifted the Blood Demon Spear and felt a savage grin pull at her mouth.
But when Sleepless Duke put her power into the spear, the throw wasn't that strong. It was far from the effectiveness of a King, and from what she could tell, it was only a little better than Duke level.
"Kahn, are you lying to me?" Sleepless Duke looked at Kahn angrily.
Kahn shook his head. "Sleepless Duke, you are the leader of the Night Ghosts. How can you be so naive? There is no power without effort. The Blood Demon Spear might not require you to be a King to use it, but it has its own terms to adhere to."
"What are these conditions?" Sleepless Duke asked quickly.
"Sacrifice blood to the spear. The higher quality the blood and the more you offer, the stronger it becomes. If the enough blood, it is not too difficult to muster a King class attack," Kahn said.
"Blood? From where?" Sleepless Duke suddenly froze. She knew exactly what he meant. The only blood she could sacrifice was from the Night Ghosts.
"No! No way!" Sleepless Duke gnashed her teeth.
"Do you have a choice right now? And besides, you only have to sacrifice a few of your people to kill them. Do that, and you can save the majority of your people from Sky Palace's wrath. Otherwise, if Han Sen escapes this planet, death is all that awaits the Night Ghosts. You know how Sky Palace treats traitors," Kahn said grimly.
Sleepless Duke clutched the Blood Demon Spear. Looking at the blue shield moving further and further away, her face kept cycling through emotions.

Chapter 2097 Blood Demon Spear
Sleepless Duke bellowed to the sky in rage.
Many other Night Ghosts screamed, too. They gave up attacking the blue shield, and instead, they used their claws to cut their own bodies. Blood flowed down like rain.
Sleepless Duke swung her Blood Demon Spear in slow arcs. The red-pattern on it started to glow, and the rain of blood was drawn towards the spear. When droplets of blood began to land on the spear, they soaked into it, dyeing the weapon a deeper red.
It looked like the blood was pooling on the spear's metal surface, but no matter how much blood dripped onto it, not a single smidgen was lost. The red light of the spear became brighter, and the spear's tip shone crimson.
That bloody light looked as if it could destroy space. It left shadows in the air.
Sleepless Duke roared. She flapped her wings, lifted the Blood Demon Spear, and flew toward the sphere like a waterfall. From the ground, she looked like a red comet flying across the sky. The atmosphere was tinged with the scent of blood, and then, she struck the blue shield. The red light exploded against it, but the blue shield did not break.
"There is not enough power in the spear yet! If you attack too soon, you'll waste the power of the blood you have already amassed. Do you see the Blood Demon Orb on its end? Only when it begins to shine will the max amount of power have been stored inside the spear. Strike when it is bright! Han Sen and the others will all be destroyed in one fell strike," Kahn said, blinking.
There was nothing else Sleepless Duke could do. Looking murderous, she called to the Night Ghosts again. The Night Ghosts heard her scream, and they began tearing into their own bodies again, trying to draw enough blood to power up the Blood Demon Spear.
The Blood Demon Spear was getting brighter. Blood rained down on the weapon like a storm, and the spear grew stronger and stronger. But the Night Ghosts were running out of strength. Many had lost so much blood that they fell limply to the ground.
"Why hasn't the orb lit up yet?" Sleepless Duke shouted at Kahn.
"This is a King class weapon. It isn't that easy to activate. At least half of these Night Ghosts need to die to trigger its power," Kahn said.
"I cannot let them die!" Sleepless Duke roared.
"There is no way back. We have to kill Han Sen now. If they escape this planet, they will contact Sky Palace. And then, we will all be killed. None of the Night Ghosts will be spared," Kahn said calmly.
Sleepless Duke gripped the Blood Demon Spear tightly. She looked as if she was in pain. She looked around at the falling blood, at the Night Ghosts who had already collapsed.
Those Night Ghosts had eaten many living creatures, and as a result, their will was messed up. But they still followed Sleepless Duke's orders. They were all willing to bleed and bleed. None of them chickened out or took the time to heal themselves.
"I am going to kill you all. It is because of you that the Night Ghosts have become like this…" Sleepless Duke held the spear as it glowed brighter and brighter. She ran in front of the blue shield, snarling through her bared teeth, and roared at Han Sen. Her pretty face was twisted.
"Sleepless Duke, you had it coming!" Han Sen smiled.
Han Sen's words filled her with white-hot fury. She looked murderous, and her eyes gleamed red. She began hurrying the Night Ghosts to sacrifice even more blood.
"Quick! Hurry!" Sleepless Duke watched the Blood Demon Orb, hoping it would light up soon. Otherwise, all the Night Ghosts would be dead.
"Han Sen! Can your shield block that? That spear's power looks like it is King class," the man said to Han Sen. He was still in the process of wrapping up his wounds.
The blue shield was obviously very tough, but it looked like thin glass. The man found himself doubting its ability to withstand a King class attack.
"It should be fine," Han Sen said. In truth, he wasn't sure.
The Demon Bug King's Bai Sema was a Mutant King beast soul. That meant it was half-deified. It was a higher level than a King class strike, so it should have been able to take whatever strike was being prepped for him.
But that was all just theory. Han Sen had never tested how much power the Demon Bug King's Bai Sema could take. He didn't know.
"What does should mean?" The man's eyes opened wide as he looked at Han Sen.
"That means probably." Han Sen laughed.
"Oh my God." The man held his forehead. He looked depressed as he said, "I always have the worst luck. Never bet on luck."
"Our only option here is to throw the dice, though. Do you have a better idea?" Han Sen laughed.
"Oh no! It looks like Old Xi is going to die here." The man started to cry.
"What's your name?" Han Sen asked, looking at the man.
"My name is Xi Menxiaong. You're asking me this now? At a time like this? Think about how we might dodge that scary power and avoid death!" Xi Menxiaong said.
The blood was a downpour, and the spear was like a dragon.
It seemed like the whole of Planet Night Ghost was flooded with a layer of blood. Its smell was everywhere, and even the sky was choked with red clouds.
Half of the Night Ghosts were dead. It was too high of a price to pay for King class power.
Sleepless Duke was full of hatred as she stared at Han Sen. If that horrible stare had been solid, it would have peeled Han Sen's flesh from his bones.
The place was in ruin, and many of the Night Ghosts were dying of blood loss. The ones in the sky were all trembling. It looked as if they could all keel over and perish.
Sleepless Duke's eyes were filled with blood tears, but she had no choice but to continue.
The sky turned red like hell itself.
Boom!
The Blood Demon Orb was shining now. The red light lit up the entire Blood Demon Spear. Sleepless Duke looked as if she was holding a red laser.
"Go to hell!" Sleepless Duke spun the spear toward the blue sphere. The shocking red light was coming at Han Sen. It looked as if it could obliterate a galaxy.
Han Sen tried to dodge, but the red light was too scary. It looked as if it had locked on, too. The red light was like a volcano that had just erupted. There was nowhere that Han Sen and the others could go to get away from that red light, and even the air was torn apart by its passage.

Chapter 2098 Invincible Bai Sema
The red light tore through the clouds in the sky. It was like a volcano, erupting without any restraint or signs of ceasing.
"Sky Palace's future deified elites are now gone. What a shame." Kahn looked at the red light in the sky, and then he sighed like it was something genuinely pitiable.
"But that is how the world should be. Many geniuses die and become nothing more than dust. The ones that can become deified aren't always the strongest; they are the best at surviving. It is a shame your lives are so short." Kahn blinked. He looked at the red light that was about to fade.
The rest of the Night Ghosts fell, then. They had lost too much blood. They looked shaky, and their strength had left them.
Ten thousand Night Ghosts had heeded Sleepless Duke's call, but only four or five thousand were left alive. They were all low on blood, though, and so they were all much weaker.
Sleepless Duke stared at the Blood Demon Spear in her hands, noting how ordinary the weapon looked after being discharged. She looked over the remaining Night Ghosts. It would be very difficult to break through Sky Palace's defenses and join the Demons now.
"What follows, at least this nightmare is over." Sleepless Duke sighed. But just as she was going to return the spear to Kahn, she froze. Her eyes opened wide, and her body stiffened. She stared up into the sky.
When the red afterglow of the attack disappeared completely, Sleepless Duke saw a blue light in the air. It was the same translucent blue shield.
Despite being struck with the Blood Demon Spear, the blue shield hadn't broken. Its surface was still clean, and it didn't look like it had been dealt a single speck of damage.
Han Sen, Lone Bamboo, and the man were still inside the shield, too, looking totally uninjured. They sat comfortably, with clothes and hair still tidy.
"Impossible…" Kahn's eyes opened wide in shock as he stared at the blue shield. He could not believe what his eyes were telling him.
The Blood Demon Spear was a King class weapon, yet it had failed to break through a Marquise's shield. It did not make sense to him. Even if the shield was a King class or deified weapon, Han Sen's limited power should have kept him from using all of its strength.
It was the same as Sleepless Duke using the Blood Demon Spear; she had paid an enormous price for her weaker body to cast a King class power. But Han Sen's shield had held that power the entire time, without any sign of strain or sacrifice. It blocked the Blood Demon Spear without any cost of energy.
This was against how xenogeneic weaponry worked. Even defied treasures shouldn't possess power like that.
Kahn had no way of knowing that Han Sen wasn't using a xenogeneic treasure, of course. Han Sen was using a beast soul. They were items that no other being in the geno universe could use. They were different things entirely.
"It looks like we don't have to leave now." Han Sen released the demon bug's bai sema. He pulled out Ghost Teeth Knife and flew back down to Planet Night Ghost on his wings.
Lone Bamboo put his jade sword away. His fingers were like swords now, and they created sword airs. He followed Han Sen back down.
The Blood Demon Spear's strike had exhausted all the power the Night Ghosts had possessed. There was no need for them to run away now.
When they saw Han Sen and Lone Bamboo coming for Sleepless Duke, the Night Ghosts wished to stop them. But they had all bled too much, and their powers had decreased. Han Sen and Lone Bamboo were like a pair of tigers leaping into a flock of sheep.
The dark purple knife air tore the weakened Night Ghost bodies apart with Teeth powers.
"Xenogeneic Marquise hunted. Night Ghost: xenogeneic gene found."
"Xenogeneic Marquise hunted. Night Ghost: xenogeneic gene found."
"Xenogeneic Marquise hunted. Night Ghost: xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Night Ghost beast soul."
The bodies of the Night Ghosts were sliced to pieces by the Ghost Teeth Knife. The killing announcements played over and over in Han Sen's head as he killed scores of Night Ghosts.
Lone Bamboo's ten fingers were like swords of their own. The swordlights swept down like a net, slaying every Night Ghost in front of him.
"Oh no!" Sleepless Duke felt dizzy, and she almost fainted. She had sacrificed so much for naught, having failed to hurt Han Sen and Lone Bamboo in the slightest. The Night Ghosts were done for.
She screamed, and with a mind that had no fear of death, she ran for Han Sen.
You can handle this." Han Sen flapped his wings and teleported past Sleepless Duke. He was going for Kahn, who was in the midst of making his escape.
Sleepless Duke wanted to kill them all, but it was still the Demon that were behind all this. Han Sen wouldn't let him get off scot-free.
Kahn saw Han Sen pursuing him, and while he was fast, he wasn't as fast as Han Sen. There was no Marquise alive that was faster than Han Sen.
"Han Sen, you still have a long way to go. You may have won this time, but you won't be so lucky when next we meet," Kahn promised, then pulled out a metal box. He threw it ahead of himself.
The metal box was some sort of machine. There were cogwheels spinning inside it. It became a metal peacock near Kahn's feet.
"Go!" Kahn commanded the metal peacock. It spread its wings, and its tail gleamed with green light. It flew away with the speed of a rocket, and the distance between Kahn and Han Sen quickly widened.
"Running away won't be that easy." Han Sen patted Bao'er, and Bao'er knew exactly what to do. She picked up her gourd and summoned the red cloud.
"Red cloud, if you wish to live well, then chase this man. If you don't, I'll lock you up for five hundred years," Han Sen said, stepping onto the red cloud with Bao'er.
The red cloud shuddered, but then, the back of the red cloud released a mist of sorts. It flew off into the sky after Kahn and the metal bird.
Kahn rode the metal peacock through space, feeling absolutely terrible. He hadn't been injured, but the plan with the Night Ghosts had utterly failed. He would be crushed by his rivals inside Demon.
He thought about Han Sen's strange shield that could block the Blood Demon Spear. It surprised even Kahn.
"Fortunately, I brought the Duke xenogeneic mount Metal Peacock with me. That was too close," Kahn thought gladly.
Kahn looked back at Planet Night Ghost, but then his jaw went slack. Something colorful was coming. When he saw how quickly the red cloud was approaching him, it seemed like the Duke class Metal Peacock had stopped moving entirely.

Chapter 2099 Killing Giant Demon
"How is he moving so fast?" Kahn exclaimed, but it was too late. Han Sen had already caught up to him via the red cloud.
Kahn put away the Blood Demon Spear, and his eyes started to turn purple. The purple horn on his head burned like red steel, releasing a purple light.
Katcha! Katcha!
Kahn's muscles began to swell, growing rapidly until they burst through his armor. In an instant, the ordinary humanoid body had grown into a terrifying giant.
Kahn's sinews writhed under his skin like snakes, and his skin turned a weird purple. His hair flowed crazily down his back, almost reaching his feet. Finally, a disturbing demonic presence began to radiate from Kahn, like some brutish god hailing from ancient times.
Boom!
Kahn punched Han Sen. Sky Demon powers started to rain down, each possessing the might of a mountain.
The demonized giant Kahn was so powerful. He was far greater than a Marquise now; in this form, he could probably kill most Dukes. With the accuracy of Sky Demon powers, he would be invincible against other Marquises.
In this Giant Demon form, his strikes couldn't be blocked or evaded. He really did seem like an indestructible foe. In terms of might, Kahn's giant devil powers were on par with the red cloud's speed.
But power like that was nothing against Han Sen. He used his Dongxuan Aura, and in his mind, sequence structures appeared. One sequence structure looked ready to bind Han Sen.
Han Sen pulled at that threat, though, and broke it. The speed of the red cloud let him dodge Kahn's incoming attack as he did.
And then, Kahn's pupils grew smaller. He hadn't thought that anything could evade the accurate attack of Sky Demon powers. And furthermore, he didn't have time to reel his giant fist back to go defensive.
The red cloud was like lightning, and it raced towards Kahn's neck. Han Sen swung Ghost Teeth Knife across it.
Katcha!
The muscles were cut through by the purple and black knife air, and blood began to fountain from the giant's neck. But the giant was too big, and doing more damage would be difficult. Han Sen's attack had only left a comparatively small wound, given the sheer size of the giant. It was far from a fatal strike.
Kahn roared. He kept swinging his fists in the vain hope of landing a hit on Han Sen.
He was as strong as a Marquise could be, but even the precise attacks of Sky Demon powers couldn't land a hit on Han Sen. The red cloud flew around Kahn like lightning.
Knife airs also started to shine, and every time the purple and black knife air flashed, it left a wound on Kahn's body that drained him of even more blood.
The demonized giant continued to roar, but his powers could not land on Han Sen. He was like a big dumb baby as he flailed at the flying red cloud.
"Why… Why does my Sky Demon power not work? How is this possible?" Unwilling to give up, Kahn kept attacking like mad. His giant body kept on releasing scary power, breaking the fabric of space.
Everything he tried seemed useless, though. Han Sen continued to release knife airs from his seat atop the red cloud. After a few more hits, the red cloud flew away from Kahn and hovered directly before him.
"Kahn, when you learned that Lone Bamboo and I had arrived on Planet Night Ghost, you had already planned on getting the Night Ghosts to dispose of us. Isn't that correct?" Han Sen looked right at Kahn as he spoke lightly to him.
Kahn turned around without saying a word, wishing to flee into the reaches of space.
Han Sen just grunted and swung his Ghost Teeth Knife once again. Purple and black knife airs that were thinner than a strand of hair began to appear around Kahn's body. In no time at all, they encircled Kahn and tightened, binding him.
Kahn was infuriated and roared in anger. He released his demonic air in a bid to cut the knife silks.
However, he had underestimated the effectiveness of the knife silks Han Sen had cast, and even his tremendous power wasn't enough to break them all. His squirming only made the silk dig into his flesh even more.
Han Sen kept waving his Ghost Teeth Knife, tightening the knife silks even further. They cut into Kahn's demonized giant body and dismembered him in less than a second's time.
The chunks of gore and demonic blood swirled in a disgusting cloud. The Blood Demon Spear and Metal Peacock were released amidst the carnage.
Suddenly making up his mind, Han Sen grabbed the Blood Demon Spear and Metal Peacock. There was also a purple light next to the giant's corpse, which swiftly disappeared into space.
"What was that?" Han Sen frowned. That purple light had been too fast, and Han Sen hadn't been able to see what it was.
But he knew that Kahn had not truly been killed. It was obvious that Kahn was a xenogeneic, and Han Sen hadn't received the announcement for taking him down.
Han Sen rummaged through the remains of the giant demon body, and he couldn't find a xenogeneic gene, either. That purple thing that escaped just now must have been Kahn's xenogeneic gene.
He did not know how Kahn escaped into space, but regardless, he was gone now. Han Sen wouldn't be able to find the Demon. He took the Blood Demon Spear and Metal Peacock, and then returned to Planet Night Ghost.
Lone Bamboo had locked Sleepless Duke up. The rebellion of the Night Ghosts was over, and it seemed as if things were calming down.
When the teams from Sky Palace arrived, they took Sleepless Duke and the Night Ghosts back with them to Sky Palace. Han Sen and Lone Bamboo had halted their betrayal, earning themselves another reward from the elder.
Aside from geno fluids and treasures, though, they received another opportunity to go to the Holy House to select a new geno art.
However, Han Sen did not have time to practice other genetic techniques. He actually only had a small amount of time left to learn Suppress Evil, so there was no reason for him to go to the Holy House yet.
Han Sen still wanted to ask Xi Menxiaong a few questions, but when he returned to Planet Night Ghost, Xi Menxiaong was nowhere to be found. However, the man left a communication number on the big stone he had been sitting on.
Back in Sky Palace, the leader of Sky Palace wanted to see Han Sen. He stared at Han Sen for a while, and eventually said, "You are not a real student of Sky Palace, and yet, you have done so much for us. If you need anything, I will grant any reasonable request."
"Leader, what do you mean by a 'reasonable request'?" Han Sen did not think the leader was being sincere. The leader could turn down any request he wanted to, simply by claiming it was "unreasonable." It sounded nice on paper, but it was actually quite stingy.
"It means I will try to satisfy what I feel is reasonable," said the Sky Palace leader, squinting his eyes.
Han Sen shrugged, thinking that the man was rather manipulative. He wasn't mad, but he wasn't sure how much this offer was really worth.
"He won't give out too much, but I don't want too little, either. What should I ask for, then?" Han Sen wondered.

Chapter 2100 – Path Hidden Cave
Suddenly, Han Sen's eyes brightened. It looked as if he knew what he wanted.
Sky Palace's leader smiled at Han Sen. "Tell me. Whatever you need! I see your Master Yisha as a genuine student, and you are my student by extension. So, shirk any guilt and ask of me whatever you desire."
"Leader, I will not ask for much. I recently learned Suppress Evil. The technique is quite amazing, and I would appreciate it if you would help me progress further with it. I would like to learn it faster." Han Sen bowed.
Sky Palace leader stared at him in silence. He would never have guessed that Han Sen would request this. This could be either be very easy or very hard.
The Sky Palace leader had been asked to teach Suppress Evil to Han Sen, but how much would Han Sen be able to learn? There were eleven tiers to Suppress Evil, and many Sky Palace Kings had not learned them. The Sky Palace leader couldn't even guess how long it might take to teach Han Sen this.
But he was the leader, and Han Sen had just asked to be taught a skill. It would be bad form if he was unable to teach one geno art to just one student.
Sky Palace leader went silent for a bit, and then said, "Suppress Evil is a secret skill belonging to Sky Palace. It is complicated. It is not something you can learn over the course of a couple days. That being said, there is a riskier method that would enable you to learn it far faster. Would you like to give it a try?"
Han Sen frowned. The Sky Palace leader had put the ball back in his court. The man said it was risky, but he did not mention how risky. If Han Sen didn't agree to the offer, then the blame for not accepting the teaching would be at his feet.
Of course, if Han Sen agreed, he did not know the dangers he might be walking into. He didn't know if he could handle the risks.
Han Sen went silent a little bit, and then he gritted his teeth. "I would like to give it a try."
"Good. You are definitely Yisha's student. I have faith in you. Go prepare and look for me on Hidden Path Island." The Sky Palace leader then waved his hand to dismiss Han Sen.
Han Sen bowed and departed Sky Palace. On his way, he mulled over why the leader might be sending him to Hidden Path Island.
Han Sen knew Hidden Path Island was a restricted section of Sky Palace. Without the leader's permission, no one could go there. As for what the place contained, he did not know. He'd have to find out the next day.
But Han Sen did not think the leader would put him through too much harm. At the most, he thought the leader might only make him endure a little bit of suffering. If accepting a little risk could truly allow him to skip through five or six tiers of Suppress Evil, it'd be well worth it.
That geno art was too complicated. If he learned it like normal, it'd take him a few years to master it.
Before going to Hidden Path Island, Han Sen invited Lone Bamboo, Thousand Feather Crane, and the Yun sisters for a meet up. He also tried to find out more about where he was going.
Yun Sushang, hearing the leader would take Han Sen there, was given a shock.
Yun Suyi immediately said, "Hidden Path Island is not a place ordinary people can go to. King class elites are only permitted there when they are on the cusp of leveling up. That place is extremely dangerous. Many Kings have failed to level up there and suffered grievous injuries in consequence. I can't fathom why the leader might want to take you there."
The few of them told Han Sen what they knew about Hidden Path Island. They did not know much, and more than anything, it sounded as if it was just a place for Kings to level up.
The Kings that entered would either come out half-deified or half-dead. It was very dangerous, and none had ever been known to go there without first being King class.
Thousand Feather Crane thought and said, "We don't have to worry too much, though. Our leader won't want to hurt Han Sen. He obviously has his reasons for bringing Han Sen to such a place."
Han Sen thought this, too. If the Sky Palace leader wanted to bring him harm, he wouldn't have to go to this much trouble.
The next morning, Han Sen took Bao'er with him to Hidden Path Island. Outside the island, he found the Sky Palace leader standing atop a mountain peak. He smiled and waved, as if he was some sort of angel.
"Greetings." Han Sen set the legless crane down on the mountain. Then, he bowed to the leader.
The Sky Palace leader waved his hand. "These are the stairs that lead to Hidden Path Cave. Walk these stairs and see how much you can learn from them."
Han Sen was shocked. He hesitated, blinking down at the stairs. "Leader, are you not going to teach me?"
"Suppress Evil is an unusual art. Even if you were to listen to me lecture you, you wouldn't learn very much. This place is different, however, and you will understand that when you walk these stairs. If you are talented enough, you can level up Suppress Evil quickly. It won't be too difficult to knock down a few tiers this way." The Sky Palace leader smiled at Han Sen.
"I've heard that this is a place where Kings come to level up. I am merely an Earl, so I don't think I have what it takes." Han Sen didn't really want to go into that cave.
"You can back out now, if you wish." Sky Palace leader bared his teeth in a grin.
Han Sen clenched his jaw and started to descend the steps. The steps were circular, and when he looked down, he could not see the bottom. It was like a spiral that continued down forever into some abyss.
The endless spiral staircase was dizzying.
Han Sen looked back up and saw the Sky Palace leader smiling at the exit. Han Sen couldn't go back now, though. He lowered his head and kept going. Bao'er sat on his shoulders, curiously looking around.
There was nothing except for stairs. Han Sen followed the steps that led down into a bottomless pit.
He did not know how many stairs he had descended when he came to a stone door. On its frame were a bunch of numbers.
"00001… What does that mean? Are there ten thousand doors up ahead? What might be beyond those doors?" Han Sen frowned.
As Han Sen wondered this to himself, the stone door opened by itself.
At the entrance of Hidden Path Cave, there was a woman wearing a black mask. She appeared next to the leader. The leader looked inside the cave and spoke to the black-masked woman. This is your territory. Watch him, and do not allow him to die."
You brought him here. This is your responsibility. I do not care about what happens." The black-masked woman said, then entered Hidden Path Cave.
The Sky Palace leader smiled when she turned. He stepped onto a cloud and left the island to return to the Sky Palace Garden.

Chapter 2101 – Original Gene Kill Spell
Han Sen opened the stone door and looked around its frame, already on full alert. On the other side, he found a black vortex. And before he had even the slightest chance to react, a powerful suction tried to yank him inside.
With a spike of adrenaline, Han Sen mustered as much power as he could to push himself back away from the door, but ultimately, he could not stave it off. He was pulled into the stone room.
Han Sen found himself in a dark, wet cave.
Wa-la-la! Wa-la-la!
The cave echoed with the sound of a chain whipping rock. Then, a large shape began to emerge from the darkness.
A monster was approaching, with a kirin body and green bird wings. It was ten meters tall and had the head of a tiger. Its glowing green eyes gave Han Sen the chills.
The monster was way too scary. Its mere presence was enough to rob Han Sen of breath.
Many long black chains perforated its body and were anchored to the stone of the cave. When it was only ten meters away from Han Sen, those black chains were yanked tight. It couldn't reach Han Sen.
Han Sen did not dare be reckless, and so he summoned his bai sema. The fiend was locked up, but it was powerful.
Even its breath would be destructive, and Han Sen knew full well his own inability to defeat it in combat.
"Is Sky Palace failing? Did it send you both here to die?" The monster coldly looked at Han Sen.
"What is this? Sky Palace leader can't mean for me to go up against this thing, surely. Even though it is locked up, there is no way I can slay it," Han Sen thought.
He used his Dongxuan Aura to observe the King class creature, but he noted that an accurate reading was rendered impossible by the chains. That being said, some of its power was spilling through the suppressing chains. It wasn't completely locked down.
Han Sen stopped looking. The King class creature's green eyes shone like green lanterns.
Han Sen hid within his Demon Bug Bai Sema as the monster's eyes became brighter. The increasing glow was difficult to look away from, though.
Boom!
Han Sen felt as if his brain had exploded in his head. Within those lantern-like eyes, Han Sen thought he saw a strange symbol. It didn't look real.
That symbol was seared into his brain as if it had been branded by a hot iron, and when the symbol was fully imprinted, it kickstarted a storm inside of his mind.
It was a real storm, too, as Han Sen felt a wind blowing across his body. In his mind, he saw a soft wind stirring leaves, a sandstorm raging in a desert, and then a sea kicking up a violent tsunami. All these different sorts of wind powers were surging into his brain.
Han Sen knew that all of this was taking place inside his imagination, but it still affected him like it was real.
The black-masked woman stood outside the stone door, leaning against a wall as she waited. Her eyes were closed, and it almost looked as if she was waiting for something specific to happen.
"The seventy-two genes of original killing have been suppressed for a million years. Many Kings have wanted to learn the original gene spells, but they have always failed. Han Sen has been sent here to endure that original gene spell power. Is that old man insane? Even if Han Sen's will is as strong as a King's, he won't be able to take the mental duress. Then I'll have to deal with it." The woman spoke to herself, eyes closed as if she was dreaming.
After a while, the woman opened her eyes and looked surprised.
"How can he endure the original gene spell power?" The woman frowned.
In a dark world, only one place had light. Under that dim light, a broken palace was visible. In its plaza, a six-year-old boy was engaged in combat with a strange bird.
The little boy kept moving, his shadow flickering over the ground like a real bird's. His shadow occasionally aided him as he fought the bird in the air.
Suddenly, the bird and the boy split up. The strange bird laughed and said, "Littleflower is talented. If his holy body can become deified, he can make Sacred great again."
"It will still take many years for him to become deified. It isn't easy to raise a holy body to that level," Auntie Mei said with a roll of her eyes. "But it is almost time for the Geno Being Scroll, so Littleflower can participate. He can earn Sacred some reputation, and let the old elites know that Sacred is still around."
"Yes, he must join it." Old Eagle nodded. He looked at the Nine-Life Cat and went on to say, "Old Cat, what do you think?"
"I think it is time for people to know Sacred has some new blood," Old Cat said coldly.
"Good. This is it, then." Old Eagle and the other monsters all looked excited. They all screamed, "Littleflower, you have to earn the number one spot for us!"
Over the next year, Han Sen made sure to enter the Hidden Path Cave each and every day. Every time he was there, he would have to endure the powers of the original gene kill spells.
The creature in the cave was chained and suppressed, but looking into its eyes could activate the original gene spell power. When Han Sen fought against that power, he learned something.
Perhaps it was because he had been blessed by the ten thousand gourds, but he understood all the elements. When he looked at the original gene kill spell, it was easy for him to understand.
But those spells did not ever seem to work on Bao'er. She was with him every time he went to the cave, but she appeared to be completely unaffected by the kill spell and its effects. While Han Sen wrestled with the spell in his head, Bao'er would just look around curiously.
So, over the course of that year, Han Sen split his time between Hidden Path Cave and the White Jade Building, where he continued to absorb Jade Fairy Spirits whenever the Jade Air was released. The Jade Spirits were an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.
Going to the seventh floor to absorb the Jade Fairy Spirits became routine, but after a while, the growth of his Jadeskin's power suddenly accelerated. The godlight gathered on him, and before long, he looked pretty much like a Jade Fairy Spirit himself. The fairy-like visage that covered him came out of his own shadow.
"Aha! Jadeskin has finally leveled up to Marquise." Han Sen was pretty happy about this development, but it was a shame he was still inside the White Jade Tower when it popped. He was extremely eager to try out his new Jadeskin powers as soon as he possibly could.

Chapter 2102 Communication
Han Sen learned a lot from the seventy-two original gene kill spells.
Suppress Evil was based on the seventy-two original gene kill spells. Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura to study the original gene kill spells, and through this, his proficiency with Suppress Evil improved rapidly. He reached the eighth tier after just one year.
His progress was interrupted, however, when the elders gave him another mission. He was tasked with taking on a Marquise xenogeneic that was wreaking havoc on a business planet belonging to Sky Palace. The job was simple, and Han Sen killed the creature easily.
When he returned to Sky Palace, however, his phone rang. It was a call from the number that Xi Menxiaong had given him.
Han Sen had called the number before, but no one answered. It looked like Xi Menxiaong had given him the number so he could call Han Sen, and not for Han Sen to call him.
Han Sen answered. There was no video, only voice. Han Sen remained quiet as the person on the other end began to speak.
"Han Sen, it is me." The voice was familiar, but it didn't belong to Xi Menxiaong. It was God's Retribution.
"God's Retribution?" Han Sen frowned. Now he was certain that Blood Legion had a method of leaving the sanctuaries. "Yes. Listen, I do not have much time. I'm being watched," God's Retribution said.
"How did you leave the sanctuaries?" Han Sen asked. Just hearing the voice wasn't enough for him to be sure that it was God's Retribution.
"Blood Legion has always had a way to leave. We just can't return." God's Retribution went on to say, "But now is not the time for that. Listen, do not let anyone know you have practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra. If you do, you may find yourself in trouble."
"Why?" Han Sen asked.
"It's complicated. Some guy in the geno universe is coming after Blood Legion members. Fortunately, you have not practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra enough to have blue blood. Just don't tell anyone. If you don't, you won't be found out," God's Retribution said.
"Who has a feud with Blood Legion in the geno universe? Which higher race is it?" Han Sen asked.
"It is not a higher race. It is something far worse." God's Retribution hesitated for a moment, but he still went on to say, 'You know the creature that called itself a god? The one the seventh team encountered?"
Han Sen's heart jumped and he said, "That guy is in the geno universe?"
"Yes, but he didn't come here from the sanctuaries like we did. This universe is his home. Remember, don't let anyone know that you've practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra. If you do, you'll find yourself a target. And keep up the ruse that you're a crystallizer. Don't mention to anyone that you're actually a human. That will expose the fact that you're from the sanctuaries. You did well to do that from the start," God's Retribution said.
"What is he?" Han Sen asked.
"I don't know how to explain. All I can say is that he is scarier than a deified elite, and we cannot hope to fight him. He's killed many Blood Legion members. Until recently, we've had no hope of fighting back," God's Retribution said.
"What's different now?" Han Sen asked.
"Super genes," God's Retribution said.
"What does that mean?" Those two words caught Han Sen's interest.
"Only people who have maxed out their super genes in the sanctuaries can compete with a creature like him. That is our only hope. Until you've grown stronger, do not expose the fact that you possess the Blood-Pulse Sutra." God's Retribution was speaking quickly.
"If you knew about all this, why didn't you tell me back in the sanctuaries?" Han Sen asked.
God's Retribution said, "I told you, we can only leave the sanctuaries. We are unable to return. I only learned about this from the other members upon arrival. Okay. There's no time. I'll contact you again."
The conversation was disconnected abruptly. Han Sen put the phone away and thought to himself, "If all of this is real, then who is this so-called god? Is he like King Jun? Can he not murder anyone here?"
Han Sen thought about this for quite a while, but he didn't come to any more conclusions. He hadn't planned on exposing his Blood-Pulse Sutra anyway, but after that reminder, he would make doubly sure not to. Whether or not God's Retribution was telling the truth, no harm would come from maintaining a low profile.
After thinking things over, Han Sen tried to call him back. Just like before, it did not work.
"Blood Legion members have been able to enter the geno universe for a very long time. Maybe Human Emperor is around here somewhere, but even so, humans have no fame. They must be hiding themselves away, under great pressure." Han Sen looked grim as he continued talking to himself. "Is that god really that powerful, I wonder?"
After Han Sen reported the results of his quest to Sky Palace, he was granted some vacation days.
His Dongxuan Sutra and The Story of Genes still hadn't reached Marquise yet. The Dongxuan Sutra was slowly growing stronger, but The Story of Genes had come to a standstill. He wouldn't level that up unless he got some help.
Han Sen tried to use the Jade Spirits to boost The Story of Genes, but it wasn't very effective. Progress was insufferably slow. At that rate, it would take several decades to become a Marquise with The Story of Genes.
As Han Sen ransacked his mind for a solution to the problem, Thousand Feather Crane arrived with an order from Sky Palace.
The leader has told me to go to the Feather?" Han Sen looked at Thousand Feather Crane in disbelief.
The Sky Palace leader knew of the grudge that the Feathers had against Han Sen, given his connection with Kong Fei. There was also the Blood Feather Knife incident, which only fanned the flames of their hatred.
Yes. The leader wants you to be Sky Palace's envoy to the Feathers. This is good. Have you heard of Holy Heaven's Pool of Rebirth? If you go there as an envoy, you can use it," Thousand Feather Crane said.
You mean the pool Angia used to erase everything he had learned? I don't want to be reborn. What's the point in that?" Han Sen frowned.

Chapter 2103 First Arrival at Holy Heaven
"The Pool of Rebirth doesn't just reset your body. The powers of rebirth have a unique way of speeding up your leveling. The leader must think your geno art is ascending too slowly, since you are still only a Marquise. Hence, he has presented you with this opportunity to make use of Holy Heaven's Pool of Rebirth. Our contract with the Feathers allows us to send three people of our choosing to use the Pool of Rebirth every ten years. You are one of those selected. The leader takes you as someone quite important," Thousand Feather Crane said, his voice filled with admiration.
"In that case, I will go to Holy Heaven." Upon hearing that the trip would benefit him, Han Sen did not hesitate. He agreed to become an envoy and travel to Holy Heaven.
Given the precarious situation that the Feathers had found themselves in, they could not risk offending Sky Palace and bringing harm to Han Sen, either. The worse they could do was mocking him.
Since he was gaining access to a valuable resource, though, Han Sen was willing to turn a blind eye to their bad behavior.
"When you return from the Feather, it will be time for the Geno Being Scroll to appear. Will you be entering that competition? You could be the first Earl, easy." After the question, Thousand Feather Crane smiled.
Han Sen had two geno arts that were Marquise already, and winning the competition would put him atop the list of all Marquises in the universe. It would also highlight the fact he had more than one geno art.
"I am not interested in boosting my reputation." Han Sen shook his head.
Han Sen wasn't the only person going to Holy Heaven as an envoy. A few others, including an elder, were going with him. The others would hold meetings with the Feathers to discuss prolonged co-operation between the two races. Han Sen had no objective beyond making use of the pool.
Han Sen followed the group to Holy Heaven. The leader was the tenth elder, Yun Changkong. Han Sen felt safe in his company; he had a good relationship with the man's daughters and students. If something was to happen, he was certain Yun Changkong would protect him.
The people of Sky Palace treated Han Sen nicely, in part due to his great reputation there. He had done many great deeds in service of Sky Palace, so they all liked him. Many gushed compliments.
They arrived in Feather territory safely. Before they went to Holy Heaven, though, a King of the Feathers welcomed them.
At this point, the Feathers depended on their relationship with Sky Palace for survival. Sky Palace's protection was the only thing keeping the other high races from attacking them, so they took their commitment to Sky Palace seriously.
When the Feather King looked at Han Sen, however, his expression was filled with distaste. Han Sen couldn't tell if it was due to the events with Kong Fei or the Blood Feather Knife. When Han Sen entered Holy Heaven, all the Feathers treated him strangely, as well. They were friendly with the other envoys, but they looked at Han Sen with distaste.
Han Sen pretended it was nothing.
When the Feathers learned Han Sen was going to make use of the Pool of Rebirth, though, they went from being annoyed to being terribly upset.
After Ring Feather King showed them the pool, he said, "The Pool of Rebirth it shut down for maintenance, so you'll have to wait a few days to use it. It will be available to you as soon as it opens again."
Han Sen resigned himself to staying in Holy Heaven for a while. Luckily, he was an envoy, so nothing awry transpired.
In a meeting room in Holy Heaven, many Feather alphas and high level Feathers were talking.
"The Pool of Rebirth is the holiest relic of the Feathers. How can we allow it to be defiled by Han Sen?" a Feather elder growled.
"Yeah! That animal is connected to Kong Fei. He cannot be allowed to use it!" another Feather elder agreed angrily.
None of the Feather leadership were happy about the prospect of Han Sen making use of their Pool of Rebirth.
"It's not like we have a choice, though. This is the deal we made with Sky Palace. Using the pool is perfectly within Han Sen's rights. And there is nothing we can do to stop that," Holy Feather King said.
Everyone was silent. When the Feather lantern darkened, all the Feathers dropped a level. Holy Feather King had made use of resources to re-secure his rank as a King. It had cost everything Holy Heaven had in its reserves.
But they only recovered thirty to forty percent of their original power. Without the protection of Sky Palace, Holy Heaven would have ceased to be.
"If we cannot stop Han Sen from going in, we might as well just totally open it for him," an elder said.
"Fairy Feather elder, what do you mean?" Everyone looked at the elder in confusion.
"Three people are allowed access to the rebirth pool at one time. We have given Sky Palace three slots every ten years. They are only making use of one slot, and that slot is given to Han Sen. That means we can send two Feathers alongside him," Fairy Feather elder said.
Everyone looked at him with confusion, but he went on to say, "The Pool of Rebirth's power is limited. That is why only three can go at a time. And those three have to be Marquise or lower. If a King entered, the power of the pool would only be enough for that one King. And he wouldn't be able to be reborn. If Dukes wanted to enter, only two Dukes could be reborn at a time."
"You mean, we should send two Dukes into the pool with Han Sen? So that they could steal whatever power he'd otherwise gain?" Holy Feather King asked, while looking straight at Fairy Feather elder.
Fairy Feather elder said, "We have all used the Pool of Rebirth, so we can cope with its powers more than outsiders can. With two Dukes that are stronger than Han Sen, they can surely absorb most of its power. Han Sen will earn a little, but Sky Palace won't notice the trick."
"This might work, but who is going to take this power?" The elders began to discuss.
If a Duke class person absorbed too much power, they would end up like Angia and become primal. They wouldn't even be a Baron, and they'd have to start from scratch again.
Not many people wished to end up like Angia, so very few Dukes would want to take part in that.
Fairy Feather elder smiled. "Why don't we let the two brothers Angela and Andola use it?"
"Aren't they locked-up in prison? Will they agree?" an elder asked in shock.
"I can persuade them," Fairy Feather said with a look of confidence.
"If they can go, that really would be best. Not even ten Han Sen's could fight the two of them," the elder stated, almost as if he admired them.
On Han Sen's fourth day there, they received news from the Feathers proclaiming that the Pool of Rebirth was open again. It was being prepared for use.

Chapter 2104 Pool of Rebirth
Holy Heaven's Pool of Rebirth was one of the most famous pools in the geno universe. Very few items existed that could help Kings level up, but Pool of Rebirth was one of them.
The Pool of Rebirth had its flaws, though. The chance of making a King half-deified was low, and there was a great deal of risk in even making an attempt. Even so, many other races coveted the treasure.
A King class Feather found Han Sen and led him to the legendary Pool of Rebirth. Despite being called a "pool," the item had no water. It was a giant crystal altar, and in the center, there was an angel statue.
That statue was white, and its angelic wings were folded forward. It looked like a gentle Goddess reaching out to the masses. Merely looking at the statue summoned a flood of emotion, and it felt like a single glance would be enough to absolve a person of all their deathly sorrows and sins.
"Up to three people can use the Pool of Rebirth at the same time. If fewer people enter, much of the power might be wasted. I am positive you know all about this. You do, don't you?" Fairy Feather said to Han Sen, who was directly in front of the altar.
Yes." Han Sen nodded.
Before Han Sen came to Holy Heaven as an envoy, the Sky Palace leader had explained what he ought to expect. Han Sen understood what was going to happen.
"Good. Sky Palace has only sent you here to use it. To keep from wasting power, we will send an additional two Marquises to be reborn with you. Is that okay?" Fairy Feather elder asked with a smile.
"It's fine." Han Sen nodded.
"Angela and Andola. You two may enter and be reborn with Han Sen. But of course, make sure to be careful. It would be most uncouth if you were to disrupt our guest's use of the pool." Fairy Feather elder admonished them loudly.
Han Sen had expected this. The Sky Palace leader had sent Han Sen alone so he could absorb all of the pool's power himself, but the Sky Palace leader suspected that the Feathers would send in two Dukes to fight Han Sen for the majority of the power. Their assumption was mostly correct, except that the Feathers were sending in Marquises instead of Dukes. This surprised Han Sen.
But when the brothers Angela and Andola stepped toward him, he understood why they had been selected.
They both looked like Feathers, with faces reminiscent of marble statues, and their lifeforces were Marquise level. But just feeling their presence, Han Sen knew immediately that something was amiss. He did not believe for one second that they were truly Marquises, plain and simple.
They were more impressive than any Duke that Han Sen had yet met, and they looked as if they had a great disdain for any being other than themselves. Not even most Nobles carried themselves with such haughty confidence.
"Were they the top Dukes here? Were they just reduced to Marquise when the lantern went out?" Han Sen guessed to himself.
Han Sen was half-correct. Angela and Andola had been Kings. They broke the law and were sent to jail, where they had been for the last few centuries. They were tortured so much that their level dropped down from King to Duke.
And then, the Feather lantern went out and all the Feathers across the universe lost an entire level. Those two had to suffer a drop from Duke to Marquise.
Because they had been in jail, no resources were made available to help them recover. So, they had to remain Marquises.
Fairy Feather had somehow convinced the two brothers to fight for the power against Han Sen. Their power might have been Marquise, but their inner core was King. Their talents far exceeded those of an ordinary Marquise.
In the past few days, they were healed enough to become Dukes again. If they successfully absorbed the rebirthing power, there was every chance they could become Kings again.
Using those two to fight against Han Sen was better than employing an average Duke to do the same. Against the cruel power of the brothers, Fairy Feather thought Han Sen would gain nothing.
But he told them they had to allow Han Sen to gain some smidgen of power, so Sky Palace wouldn't be able to claim foul play.
"The Pool of Rebirth is going to open. Please, proceed to the altar," a Feather butler proclaimed.
The altar was surprisingly large. Han Sen went to stand near the angel statue, where he would wait for the Pool of Rebirth to open.
Angela and Andola stood on either side of the angel statue, with Han Sen in the middle. They didn't look at Han Sen once. They just coldly stood where they were.
Angela and Andola did not take Han Sen for a threat. They used to be Kings, so no matter how popular Han Sen might have been, there was no reason for them to pay him any attention, they believed.
Fairy Feather and the others were now all anticipating a good show. Only the envoys from Sky Palace watched the Pool of Rebirth curiously. They were keen to see how much Han Sen could gain from it.
When Yun Changkong saw Angela and Andola, his eyes squinted. Those two brothers were in Holy Heaven, and very few knew about them. They had been locked up for centuries, so all memory of them should have faded. Yun Changkong still knew a thing or two, though.
Yun Changkong did not know the two brothers, but he was in charge of the Cloudsmoke Building. It was a department that collected intelligence on races throughout the geno universe. So, he was familiar with famous Feathers across the ages.
The Feathers had called two strange Marquises to fight with Han Sen, so Yun Changkong knew there was something abnormal going on.
"There's more to these guys than it seems," Yun Changkong thought. He was trying to guess who those two brothers were.
Yun Changkong found it very hard to believe that the Feathers would pick two Marquises to fight Han Sen fairly.
The Feathers despised Kong Fei, and Han Sen had received Kong Fei's deified feather. There was also the Blood Feather Knife incident. There was no way the Feathers were willing to let Han Sen take their rebirthing powers.
Yun Changkong could not recall having heard of the two brothers, but before long, the Pool of Rebirth opened.
The angel statue started to spew water, and the angelic wings began to unfurl. Light glowed from the altar, and when it did, water fountained up from the statue. It turned into a crystal pillar that shot right up into the sky.
