Chapter 2169 Cold Palace

"Knife Queen is allowing Han Sen to become a Cold Palace Guardian. That will obviously help him gain the profits he wants." Night River King's icy voice filled an office in Full Moon.

"Knife Queen is the Cold Palace Guardian. She has been summoned to the Extreme King. It is only expected that her student should take her place," Black Moon King responded evenly.

"Only the best of the Rebate has been given the mantle of a Cold Palace Guardian. If Knife Queen is no longer able to do it, another King should be selected to replace her. A Marquise like Han Sen should be out of the question." Night River King looked at their boss, Moon Weel King. "Mister Moon Wheel, do you think we should select a King to replace Han Sen in Cold Palace?"

Moon Wheel King quietly said, "Right now, Knife is still in charge of its guardianship. It would be poor form to overrule her decision now."

"Why shouldn't we? The guardian should be a King. Han Sen is just a Marquise. What if something happens? To safeguard the future of our entire race, no one of low rank should take that responsibility," Night River King said.

"That does make sense," Shadow King said.

Flower King did not say anything. He had receded into thought, and that was where he remained.

Black Moon King laughed coldly. "Night River, you are in too much of a rush. Han Sen is temporarily filling in for Knife Queen. If you force a change now, and she returns, how will you explain the switch?"

"I am Night River. I am not scared of anyone. I only focus on what's best for the Rebate. Even if Knife was here right now, I'd be trumpeting the same thing." Night River King boasted.

"Really? Then why did you not object when Knife first made the suggestion?" Black Moon King bared his teeth in a grin. 'You really think Knife will never return from those chaotic systems? Is that why you are talking so boldly right now?

Do not forget that there is every chance she will not be killed. If she returns, she will return deified. And if she returns deified and sees that you have again mistreated her student, you know what her fiery personality will spur her to do. You will be well and truly doomed."

"I only care about the matters themselves, not the people involved. Black Moon King, do not speak to me so condescendingly." Night River King continued to argue, but he sounded a lot weaker now.

"If Han Sen is Knife's replacement, the least we can do is let him try. If he does a bad job, then one of you can swap with him. What do you think?" Moon Wheel King looked at Flower King and the others.

Flower King smiled and said, "I don't have an opinion. If Han Sen fails as a guardian, I'm not letting it be my fault."

"Good," Shadow King said.

Black Moon King did not have an opinion, either.

Night River King looked gloomy, but he didn't say anything.

Two days after Yisha left, Han Sen arrived on Planet Blade. Snowbird Duke was in charge of the place with Yisha absent, and she had been instructed to serve him.

When Han Sen saw Snowbird Duke, he was shocked. Snowbird Duke looked almost exactly like Icebird Duke, right down to her cold expression.

Icebird Duke was still locked up in Purgatory Heaven where Han Sen had left her. He kept her there to prevent his identity from being leaked and to stop the secrets surrounding Purgatory Heaven from getting out. So, he had no choice but to leave her imprisoned.

Seeing Snowbird Duke standing before him now was very strange.

Snowbird Duke was very sensitive to such emotions, and she immediately noticed Han Sen's discomfiture. But she misunderstood what was making him uncomfortable. "Stop wondering. Icebird Duke is my little sister."

"I see. That is why you two look so similar." Han Sen then went on to ask, "How come I've never seen you before?"

"Before Knife Queen accepted you as a student, I was sent away for work. I returned only a little while ago, so of course we haven't met." Snowbird Duke didn't seem too interested in talking with Han Sen. She simply stood up and said, "Follow me. Queen told me to escort you to Cold Palace."

Han Sen, noticing her brusqueness, did not respond. He simply followed Snowbird Duke to the backdoor of Cold Palace.

"Cold Palace is not in the palace?" Han Sen asked.

"No," Snowbird Duke answered emotionlessly.

The question had been rhetorical. Han Sen sighed and continued following Snowbird Duke until they reached a mountain behind the palace.

Han Sen was wondering where Cold Palace was when Snowbird Duke stopped just short of the mountain slopes.

"That is where you need to go. I do not have permission, so my guidance must stop here." Snowbird Duke pointed up the mountain to a waterfall. Nestled beside it was a small stone house. It looked to have been built from rocks, and it was surprisingly short, probably two meters tall at its highest point.

Looking at the stone door, it seemed that Han Sen would have to bend double just to avoid bumping his head.

The old stone house made Han Sen confused, though. "Is that Cold Palace?"

Han Sen thought that this little shack surely couldn't be the palace he was supposed to guard, but there was a sign over the door frame that read Cold Palace.

"Queen said that you must come here on the first and fifteenth of the month to guard the entrance of Cold Palace. You must protect it for a whole twenty-four hours. Aside from those times, you may do whatever you please. But do not be tardy when you are expected to guard here." After that, Snowbird Duke turned and left.

Han Sen had no choice but to hike up to the waterfall alone. The waterfall was pretty, and it was very wide. It felt as if an entire galaxy was descending from the space high above. The sound of surging water was deafeningly loud, but despite that, it carried the wonderful fragrance of trimmed grass.

When he neared the stone house, however, Han Sen noticed the temperature drop. It didn't affect him, but it did seem fitting for the title of Cold Palace. It was a sharp contrast to the humidity and heat of the rest of Planet Blade.

Han Sen looked at the stone house, but he did not see anything too strange about it. Aside from the lower temperature, it looked like a fairly ordinary house. It looked old and rarely-visited, but other than that, it was unremarkable.

"Why was a stone house like this built here with not even a fence around it? What could it contain that's actually worth protecting?" Han Sen wondered.

But today was neither the first day nor the fifteenth, so there was no point in him being there. He looked back over the way he had come to memorize it, then turned to leave.

But just as Han Sen was about to walk back down the mountain, his heart jumped. His body tensed as he looked down the mountain path.

Someone was coming up that path, and while he seemed to be meandering along, the power he carried was like a tsunami. Every step he took felt intimidating. It felt like the ground was rumbling beneath him.

Chapter 2170 You Passed

Han Sen squinted his eyes. That scary presence carried enough overwhelming force to sunder the sturdiest stone. It rolled over the region like a wave.

The man was approaching, and he was terrifying. Han Sen felt as if the sky itself had changed color. The man's presence battered him over and over, like a ceaseless tide.

"Who are you?" Han Sen stood and squinted, peering at the oncoming form. The wind was tugging his clothes back, making them ripple in the gusts.

But Han Sen stood strong. He held his position as if that power did not exist, at all.

The person walked onwards without saying a word. And with every step the form took, it sounded like rocks were being broken underfoot.

Dong!

A very light footstep then took its place, reverberating through Han Sen's ear. But it had the impact of an explosion inside Han Sen's head. It made Han Sen squint his eyes even harder.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The shadow approached, closer and closer. The footsteps were like a chain of explosions, going off inside Han Sen's head, one after the next. And along with all that, the person's presence was becoming scarier was every step.

Han Sen looked at the body, and he noticed that they were both of a similar height. But in Han Sen's eyes, the person seemed greater than him. He got the sense that the other person was a god that towered over him, making him feel small and insignificant in comparison.

Han Sen knew that this had to be an illusion. But even so, if this person could use their powers to such a degree, it was unlikely that an ordinary person could fight against it.

"Since when does an elite like this exist within the race of the Rebate?" Han Sen was confused by this presence.

The body and its presence were scary, to say the least. But its lifeforce certainly wasn't King class. It was a Duke, at the most. Still, Han Sen couldn't think of anyone else across the entirety of Narrow Moon that carried an aura such as that, especially as a Duke.

The person continued approaching, but try as they might to subdue Han Sen with fear, the attempt failed. Han Sen did not move. The person eventually stopped walking at a distance of ten steps away from Han Sen. She stood where she was and just looked at him.

Now Han Sen could tell that the person was actually a woman. She was clad in black armor and also a helmet. Her face would have been revealed, had it not been for the face mask she wore. The features of her face were covered, save for the beautiful golden eyes that gleamed from her mask. But it was evident how fit the woman was based on the curves that the armor revealed.

She was as tall as Han Sen, and so her longs were very attractive.

But Han Sen's gaze wasn't drawn to her eyes or her legs. He was actually looking at her left hand.

Her right hand was covered in a black gauntlet, revealing only the length of her fingers. Her left hand, however, was bare. The skin of her hands was pure white, her fingers were slender, and her delicate nails were like crystal gemstones.

But Han Sen was not merely admiring the prettiness of it. He looked there because of the power that swirled in her palm. It was a power he could not accurately describe.

With no shocking godlight or scary flames, the hand suddenly closed into an elegant fist and shot toward Han Sen. Han Sen's eyes locked onto the fist that was headed his way.

And as the fist traveled to Han Sen, he quivered. He did not shudder in fear, though; his twitch was him activating all the power inside him.

Han Sen's body gave that single shiver, and all of his power surged up, ready to be unleashed.

The pressure he felt from that incoming punch prompted Han Sen to gather up all the power he could. Standing before the black-armored woman, he felt a grave sense of danger.

Han Sen had no intention of dodging, though. When the punch was swung, it felt as if the entirety of that pocket of space was filled up by it. That fist was everywhere, and it seemed as if there was no place for him to run to, even if he wanted to do so.

Naturally, Han Sen was not actually planning to hide. He clenched his right hand into a fist, filled it with the gathered power of his trembling body, then sent a return punch at the woman.

The fires that carried the fist were very demonic. They were tinged with scary Teeth powers, and they came right at the woman's fist.

The fists came against each other, and the power inside Han Sen's fist shattered. The jade fist had collided with Han Sen's own with tremendous force.

Boom!

Han Sen felt the unstoppable powers coming from that jade fist. It was like a supernova, and the unleashed force hurled Han Sen away.

Han Sen used his legs to cleave a trench through the stones and the earth, trying to stabilize himself. But the power that sent him flying was too great. He tore through the ground for a few hundred meters before crashing into a stone wall that exploded on impact.

And while the wall might have been destroyed, Han Sen was still standing. His right hand was injured, and his bones were cracked, though.

"Who are you?" Han Sen asked the woman again.

The woman's fist was so strange. It felt like something entirely indestructible. Even someone as strong as Han Sen could not withstand the force it unleashed.

And after Han Sen had taken that punch, he knew for certain that the frightening, black-armored woman was actually a Marquise just like he was.

That surprised Han Sen more than anything. With this power she wielded, there was every possibility that she was even stronger than Lone Bamboo. That scary punching power was a testament to that.

Han Sen thought he might have to retaliate with Break Six Skies. That could be the only way to combat her fist effectively.

"You can withstand my Extreme King Final Punch? It is no wonder you are regarded as being as good as Lone Bamboo. You have passed." The woman's golden eyes peered at Han Sen. Her voice was icy, but also very seductive. "I will give you a chance to join the knights."

"You are of the Extreme King?" Han Sen looked at the woman while he spoke.

Yes," the woman answered.

"Did you come all the way over here just to cause me trouble?" Han Sen asked.

The woman replied in a toneless voice, "I was here to deliver a recruitment paper for Yisha. I was going to leave, but I heard that you were in the vicinity. So, I came to take a look at the individual who is said to be as strong as Lone Bamboo himself. You have most certainly passed, and so, I extend you an invitation to join the knights."

"I'm sorry, but I've made no plans to abandon Narrow Moon." Han Sen was on high alert as he spoke. He was prepared for the possibility that the woman might attack again.

But the woman wasn't planning to. When Han Sen declined, she turned around and left.

Han Sen watched her fit body as she walked away, her long blonde hair rippling behind her. But the sight was tinged with sorrow, as if to tell Han Sen that he had no idea what he had just missed out on.

"What an arrogant woman," Han Sen thought to himself.

Chapter 2171 Guarding the Door

After leaving Planet Blade, Han Sen did not see the woman again. He asked Black Steel about her, and he was told that Extreme King had indeed sent someone there. But aside from Moon Wheel King and the other Kings, no one had been granted an audience with her. Her identity was still a bit of a mystery to them.

Han Sen had a bit of an interest in the entities of Extreme King now, especially after witnessing the punching skill employed by that woman. Their levels and bodies were of a similar capacity, but that punch she unleashed was truly frightening. Han Sen had many geno arts, but he believed the only one that could effectively combat her was Break Six Skies.

And in regards to using his Super Spank powers, Han Sen could only use that while he was Dollar. If he used it as Han Sen, he might be recognized. After all, that was like a signature power of Dollar. It wasn't something Han Sen would use on a whim.

But ever since that first encounter with the Extreme King woman, Han Sen hadn't seen her again. It was likely she might have left Narrow Moon.

Han Sen went to Cold Palace just before the first day of the month, planning to wait there until the next day rolled around. If Yisha had asked him to handle this matter, he knew it had to be something special. Due to that, he did not want to risk running late or being careless.

Han Sen settled himself on the porch in front of the stone house. The porch was clean, as if it had been frequently visited and used. It was far cleaner than the stone house, and it looked as if Yisha sat in the same place he was right now when she kept watch over the construct.

Han Sen sat on the porch and observed the stone door, waiting for twelve o'clock to come. He didn't see anything inside the house.

Time passed, and eventually, the clocks struck twelve. At that moment, Han Sen felt the temperature drop.

Han Sen looked at the stone house, and he immediately noticed that the chill air was coming out of the house itself.

The stone building was releasing a cold air that was actually quite overbearing.

No matter how cold it became, though, no frost appeared on the walls. The stone house looked like it always did. The only difference was the coldness it was exuding.

As Han Sen observed with curiosity, the stone building's door began to open soundlessly back into the house. It revealed a cave-like entrance that was completely dark.

When Han Sen looked closer, he realized that it really was a cave. There was a cave inside the stone house, and the chill was creeping out of that black space.

The chill now swept out in full force, gushing through the open doorway like a tide. It froze the nearby rivers and even the waterfall. The ice crept up the grand waterfall, turning the entire river into a solid chunk.

"That's a very strong frost air," Han Sen thought in shock. The Cold Palace Guardian tablet, which was attached to his waist, had also started to glow. It protected Han Sen from the chill draft, separating him from it.

Han Sen wished to use the cold air to practice Jadeskin, but the tablet was keeping the chill air from touching him. He wanted to put the tablet away, but all of a sudden, noise sounded from the stone cave.

Han Sen looked towards the stone cave. It was obscenely dark. Even Han Sen's vision could not pierce that impenetrable veil of darkness.

But he was still able to hear something moving around in there. Not long after, a body emerged from the dark. It was half a meter tall.

Han Sen stood there stiffly, trying to guess what it was. Weirdly, the thing looked like a toad made of green jade.

A series of red symbols were inscribed across its green back. Its body was very cold, and when it appeared, the temperature fell so fast that it was difficult to imagine. Everything around the beast was immediately covered in ice. The mountains, the rivers, the plants, the trees, and all the animals were frozen. It seemed like space and time had frozen, as well. The world became so quiet when the toad appeared that even the wind stopped.

Only the Cold Palace Guardian tablet on Han Sen's waist was shielding him from that cold power. It allowed Han Sen to move as he wanted to.

Han Sen was shocked, though. "Is it a deified creature? I didn't know Narrow Moon had a deified creature. Does something this powerful actually serve Narrow Moon?"

As Han Sen pondered its presence, the green toad fully removed itself from the stone house. It looked like a slippery thing as it slid out of the doorway and turned to look at Han Sen. It noticed the Cold Palace Guardian's tablet, then ignored him. It ventured over to the frozen waterfall.

Han Sen felt as if he was in a lot of danger. "It is fortunate I didn't put the tablet away. I do not know if my Jadeskin can resist this much cold power. And this thing only seems to recognize the tablet. The fiend would probably kill anyone who wasn't wearing it. That must be why everyone needs a tablet to come here."

The jade toad hopped its way beneath the waterfall, and the ice around it began to melt.

In the blink of an eye, a small pool of water formed beside the toad. The waterfall remained frozen, so there was no more water coming down to fill the basin.

The green toad then dove into the water and quickly disappeared from sight.

Han Sen did not know how deep that water was. He could only see the first hundred meters, and he had no idea what lay at the bottom.

After the toad sank into the water, no further sign of the creature emerged. Han Sen was supposed to be on guard, and he did not know when he could expect the toad to reappear.

"Yisha wanted me to guard this place, but why? So I could watch a toad go for a dip?" Han Sen pondered this entire scenario, but he couldn't come to any satisfying conclusions.

"I don't care. I don't know when the deified toad will come back out, so I'll make the most of this and use the cold air to try to refine my Jadeskin." Han Sen cast Jadeskin, and his entire body became an icy figure. He then set the tablet down beside him.

As soon as the tablet left Han Sen's body, he felt the true power of the cold air suddenly pound into him. In no time at all, he knew it would freeze his body and solidify his blood.

Han Sen was shocked by the power. His Marquise Jadeskin granted him the ability to freeze others, so his resistance to the cold should have been extremely high. But now, he could hardly withstand a single ounce of the chilling power that the toad had unleashed. It was difficult to comprehend.

"A very powerful deified creature." Before Han Sen became completely frozen, he grabbed the guardian tablet and put it back on his belt. A cold light gleamed across his body and separated him from the cold air.

Some of that cold air remained in Han Sen's body, though. The guardian tablet's power was like a shield. It was unable to clear out the cold air that was already within him.

Han Sen felt very cold, and numbness began to creep through his limbs and into his chest. He quickly used Jadeskin again, refining the cold air that had invaded his body.

Chapter 2172 Frozen Power

The deified toad's freezing powers were unusual. Even Han Sen, with his Jadeskin, was still being frozen by the ice inside him. Try as he might, he could not remove the frosting from his skin.

Without Jadeskin's cold elemental abilities and great resistance to ice, any ordinary Marquise would have been frozen stiff long before this.

Even so, Han Sen felt as if he was going to lose consciousness. He kept casting Jadeskin as powerfully as possible in a bid to refine the cold air that was afflicting his body.

Han Sen cast Jadeskin again and again, doing his best to refine the cold air invading his flesh. His bones and muscles became transparent, looking very much like jade.

While Han Sen was refining the toad's cold power, he realized just how scary the deified toad really was. This was more than the simple cold elements Han Sen was used to dealing with. There was an inclusion of space and time in the mix. This power could actually freeze places in time. Although this was Han Sen's first time seeing something like, he immediately knew how frightening the beast was.

Han Sen spent the next ten hours trying to eliminate the deified toad's cold air, but he was unable to completely remove it. Normal Dukes would have died merely attempting to hold off such potent power.

After twenty hours, though, Han Sen was finally able to fully remove the cold air. And over the course of that time, he learned a whole lot more about what he had been dealing with.

"The final realm of ice powers isn't how cold they can be. I used to use Jadeskin to summon the ice jade skeleton. Now that I think about it, that is the true path of Jadeskin… Its practice in the sanctuaries is just a smidgen of what it is capable of in the geno universe. It is like, by making preparations ahead of time, things become easier to accomplish in the future. It is easier to complete the path, and it will be easier to go further… I don't know who built the sanctuaries, to enable this amazing effect…" There was still too much mystery surrounding the sanctuaries.

Like creatures in the sanctuary could max out their super genes and gain a super god body. Han Sen's super god body was titled super king spirit. Everyone's super body was different, but each one of them was quite spectacular.

Any creature that left the sanctuaries with maxed out super genes would have talents that could equal a higher race in the geno universe. Or even better, in some aspects.

"Even though there are no humans, the creatures and spirits that leave sanctuary are sure to be similar to the higher races I've seen populating the geno hall. It's scary to think about." Whoever created the sanctuaries must have been quite terrifying.

That deified toad had not yet re-emerged from the water. So, Han Sen used his deified spectacles to have a look at the cold powers and see what he could analyze.

It was quite difficult to analyze the powers of a deified being. The analysis didn't go quickly, but it was progressing. When Han Sen finally got a proper look at them, he understood the ice powers a lot better.

On the twenty-fourth hour of the first day, ripples and waves began to appear on the surface of the pool. The deified toad came out of the water and headed for the banks of the river. Han Sen watched the deified toad, and when it entered the stone cave, Han Sen turned his attention to the pool itself.

Han Sen used his right purple eye to examine the pool. There, Han Sen saw some jade tadpoles swimming around the basin. They were around the size of a fist, and they swam around the water like emeralds.

"The heirs of a deified creature?" Han Sen was quite shocked by what he was seeing. There had to be thirty or forty of the tadpoles, far more than Han Sen would have expected. If they all grew up, then they'd probably all become deified creatures. It was a prospect that was rather scary to think about.

But the geno universe was different from the sanctuaries. The heirs of a deified creature here would have better blood, but if they wanted to be deified themselves, they'd still need to level up slowly. Becoming deified was not a birthright, as it still required a lot of effort and luck.

The deified toad crawled into the stone house, and when it did, the door closed behind it. Meanwhile, the green tadpoles were still flitting madly around the pool. They could not see the deified toad anymore, but even so, they seemed to swim around happily.

The frozen river and the waterfall began to melt, and shortly after, they returned to running as they used to.

Han Sen finally realized that the task of the guardian was not to safeguard the toad, but to protect the toad's tadpoles. They needed to remain undisturbed while they were floating around in the water.

Seeing those tadpoles swimming up the waterfall, Han Sen used his Donxuan Aura to watch and observe. He was not going to allow any strong creature to appear and eat them.

Han Sen was overthinking things, though. The Rebate had already slain all the powerful creatures that had once existed in the area. No other creature would appear and threaten those tadpoles.

Standing guard there, all alone, was just to ensure the safety of the place. In addition to that, there were benefits to claim.

After a short time of playing on the surface, the tadpoles sank further down into the pool until they could no longer be monitored.

"Is that cold power the benefit that the guardian may take? That doesn't make sense, though. Ordinary Marquises most certainly couldn't absorb it. And it isn't as if all Nobles practice with cold powers, either. The true reward cannot be as little as that. There must be something else that I haven't yet found." Han Sen examined the area for a while longer, but he could not discover any further benefits to claim. He eventually left Cold Palace, still suspicious about what he was supposed to claim.

Half a month later, Han Sen returned to Cold Palace. The deified toad appeared through the doorway again. This time, when it entered the pool, a group of tadpoles came up to the surface. They traveled up the frozen waterfall to reach the top.

The tadpoles wriggled their tails to swim up, and they reached the top alongside the deified toad. They surrounded it, and together, the group observed the countless moons that populated the skies of Narrow Moon.

Suddenly, Han Sen saw the deified toad open its mouth. A bunch of full-moons came out of its mouth and drifted up into the skies to be with the others.

The moons seemed to have symbols that changed. Everything was shining under the strong glow of the moonlight, and eventually, they stopped their drift.

The birds in the sky stopped moving, too, but they did not fall. It was like they had been frozen in the air.

Han Sen had the guardian tablet to protect him. He was not frozen, and he just watched as the moon changed its symbol. Then, the energy inside his body began to shift.

When Han Sen's energy started to show movement, a beam of moonlight pierced through the shroud of light that protected him. It went straight into his body like spring water, rinsing all of his cells gently.

Chapter 2173 Traitor of the Destroyed

The tadpoles bathed in the glow of the moonlight, happily absorbing every ounce of the light they were receiving from the moon.

Now, Han Sen understood how the guardian benefitted. When the deified toad spat out moons, everything would freeze. Even the light stilled. The creatures and people around would not know what was occurring, save for the guardian with the tablet for protection. Only the guardian would witness the moons and share the moonlight.

The moonlight was very useful for one's body. That was because the moonlight enhanced genes and increased fitness. That sort of growth was very rare but widely beneficial. Even Kings had to level up their fitness, after all.

There was one more benefit that was even better for Han Sen, who was now the guardian. Since he had practiced with ice powers, he could absorb the deified toad's cold air. By doing that, his Jadeskin would level up far faster.

He could use the first day of the month to absorb cold powers, while on day fifteen, he could bask in the glow of the moonlight. Han Sen's only disappointment was in the fact that the two days went far too quickly, and he could only enjoy each of these opportunities once a month. Han Sen wanted to hunt Dukes in his free time, but in Narrow Moon, Duke xenogeneics were very rare. And furthermore, they were mostly under the control of someone or something King class. He couldn't go around killing Dukes as he pleased.

So, Han Sen planned to embark on some missions. By completing the missions, he could kill Dukes on the way and collect the Duke genes he wanted.

Han Sen thought that those genes, aside from leveling up the body's fitness, would also have another use. He just hadn't yet found out what that was.

Before Han Sen took the next mission, however, he received some fairly shocking news.

A traitor of the Destroyed had fled into the area and gone to hide somewhere in the Six Star xenogeneic space. The Six Star xenogeneic space was a xenogeneic space that belonged to the Rebate.

The Destroyed was requesting that the Rebate seal up the Six Star xenogeneic space to keep him there.

But for some reason, many other races had sent some of their people to the Six Star xenogeneic space. They proclaimed they had sent teams to protect their members who had already entered that xenogeneic space. But it seemed as if they were more interested in the traitor of the Destroyed. The teams entered, but they never left.

According to outside sources, it was whispered that the traitor of the Destroyed had stolen one of their treasures. That was why there was a big fuss about all this.

Because the Six Star xenogeneic space was an open business place of the Rebate, many of the races went there. But even though so many teams had entered, quite strangely, the Destroyed traitor had yet to be located. Where he might have been hiding, no one seemed to know.

Han Sen was interested in this little affair. He perused what information he was allowed to view, and he came to learn that the Six Star xenogeneic space was quite popular right now. Many elites were headed there, and many teams comprised of Marquises and Dukes went there in an effort to find the traitor.

Many King class elites were sitting outside the place. That was one of the conditions of locking down the Six Star xenogeneic space. The Rebate didn't want too many elites poking about the xenogeneic space, as they didn't want the news to become too big. That was a xenogeneic space belonging to the Rebate, and so if something was to happen, it would be on them.

There weren't that many Kings anyway, so there weren't many participating in the teams that went in to search.

Right now, the Six Star xenogeneic space would only allow entry and not exit. The Destroyed really wanted to find that traitor, and they didn't care what it took.

Other races tried to search for the traitor, too. Or find the treasure he had stolen from the Destroyed.

"What did he steal from the Destroyed, to bring the attention of so many different factions?" Han Sen wondered to himself. He planned to go to the Six Star xenogeneic space to see for himself.

But Han Sen wasn't interested in looking for the traitor of the Destroyed. Many factions were already looking for him, and even many Marquises and Dukes that belonged to Narrow Moon were out in search of him. If Han Sen went in alone, the chances of finding the traitor before everyone else were practically zero.

Han Sen was going to the Six Star xenogeneic space because it was now open. Even the xenogeneics that populated that space were up for grabs. So, Han Sen fancied hunting down some Duke xenogeneics to collect their genes.

Han Sen messaged Zero, Han Meng'er, Little Angel, Bao'er, Little Invisible, Little Silver, and Little Star, asking them all to meet at the Six Star xenogeneic space.

When Han Sen arrived, however, things quickly appeared to be worse than he initially thought. Moon Wheel King and the other Kings were there, and they were controlling the traffic of the elites that were allowed in.

The Six Star xenogeneic space's interior was a bit of a mess, too, as many of the Marquises and Dukes that were looking for the Destroyed traitor began to fight. Many of them died in the clashes.

"Han Sen, this situation is too complex. You should not go, in case something bad happens to you." Black Moon King, who was guarding the exit, tried to convince Han Sen.

Although many King class elites were blocking the way in, there were still many powerful Dukes in there. They were a whole level higher than Han Sen, which would make things very dangerous for a Marquise.

Han Sen appreciated Black Moon King's concern, but he still took Zero, Little Angel, and the others in with him.

He had his Demon Bug Bai Sema, so not even a King class enemy was going to scare him. And if they didn't scare him, the Dukes certainly wouldn't.

He had four Demon Bug Bai Semas, and Han Sen chose to hold one of them himself. The other three were given to Han Meng'er, Zero, and Little Angel. Bao'er and Little Silver were always with Han Sen, so they could share his.

The Six Star xenogeneic space, in terms of size, was pretty average. That being said, the landscape was very complicated. Aside from the six planets that existed there, there were many asteroids.

Finding a Marquise inside the asteroid belts would be very difficult.

The stories of the traitor Marquise said he was very good when it came to living in space. He could last in space for a few years without needing to eat or drink.

So, many of the races compartmentalized their search radiuses and slowly locked down each area in which the traitor might have been hiding.

Han Sen did not search amidst the asteroids, though. He brought his companions to one of the planets. The one selected was called Planet Sodi. It had many xenogeneics, and many of them were Dukes. That was why Han Sen wanted to go there in the first place.

People were used to paying large sums of money to hunt xenogeneics on Planet Sodi, but with the mess going on right now, the Rebate couldn't enforce the tolls and so anyone could come and go.

Han Sen took his companions there, too, saving a lot of money in the process.

Han Sen had only just entered Planet Sodi when he was given a shock. Many people had been planning to do the same thing as him. People had spread all over the planet as they hunted xenogeneics.

"This is obscene! How can they take advantage of a situation like this?" Han Sen demanded angrily. He had totally forgotten he was there for the same reason.

Chapter 2174 A Born Destroyer

Han Sen and company walked across Sodi for several hundred miles, and in that distance, he was unable to kill a single xenogeneic. There were too many Dukes and Marquises already taking advantage of the planet's offerings. Han Sen saw many Dukes and Marquises fighting and killing xenogeneics before he could reach them. No one was leaving Han Sen a single xenogeneic to fight himself. And if Han Sen drew close to the others, they'd stare him down as if they were ready to start a fight if he took another step.

Han Sen walked forward, hoping to head deeper into the mountains. Han Sen was at the foot of the rise when Qing Li and a number of other Rebates approached. "Han Sen, are you here to kill xenogeneics? Well, I don't think you'll be able to."

"I'm just taking a look around." Han Sen coughed.

Qing Li lifted her lips. "We have been walking across these mountains for over half the day, and we haven't been able to locate a single xenogeneic. Those b*stards down there are going to kill them all before we get a chance to."

The few Rebates of Duke and Marquise class looked tired. Everyone was using the excuse of finding the traitor to exploit the Six Star xenogeneic space. And because of that, the Rebate were losing so much.

But they had to relent and allow this due to the pressure that the Destroyed were putting on them. If that powerful race hadn't been leaning on them so heavily, the Rebate would have never let them in.

As the two were speaking, however, someone else approached. It was a group of the Destroyed. Most of them were Marquises, but the leader of the bunch was a Duke.

That team of Destroyed were out in pursuit of the traitor. But when they saw Han Sen, they immediately looked hostile.

That was because in Metal World, Han Sen had taken the effort to protect the other races. The Destroyed there, however, had been completely wiped out. And after those events, no other race was very fond of the Destroyed. Their reputation had taken a tumble, and they had paid a high price. That was why they were not fond of Han Sen.

But still, they did not actually try to attack him. They just looked at him with distaste. They were still in territory that belonged to the Rebate, after all, and they weren't arrogant enough to fight him there.

Just as the Destroyed were about to leave, the face of the Duke leader changed. He shouted at the mountains, "Barr!"

Han Sen and the others looked in the direction that he had called. They saw a man with bone armor. He was carrying a bone knife that was around two meters long on his shoulder.

"That is one of the Destroyed?" Han Sen asked, looking at Barr with a quizzical expression.

Barr had three faces, but he did not have the traditional six arms. His three faces were different than those of the Destroyed, as well. The three faces were all masculine.

Qing Li's face changed, and she quietly said, "Do not provoke him. He is, for lack of a better word, abnormal amongst the Destroyed."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Han Sen quietly asked.

Qing Li quickly explained, "He is a mix between one of the Destroyed and someone of another race. He is very talented, but also very cruel. The Destroyed love violence, but even they call him by the name of Born Destroyer. See how scary he is?"

A Rebate Duke quickly told Han Sen, "Let's go. We cannot provoke him. He is also a part-time hitman, and he's killed geniuses that belong to all races. Many powerful people have died by his hand. To me, it sounds like you might be in danger."

Han Sen frowned, but he did not move. He had noticed that Barr was already coming after him. Barr's energy had already locked onto him, and he couldn't run.

Han Meng'er felt Barr's focus on Han Sen, as well. She stepped in front of Han Sen and summoned her Death Goddess bow. She pulled its string, and a black beam arrow manifested. The arrow tip was trained on Barr.

"Are you crazy? Put the bow down!" Seeing Han Meng'er lift a bow and aim it at Barr, Qing Li and the others started to freak out.

A person like Barr would merrily murder someone if they were only suffering a bad mood. Han Meng'er was now pointing her loaded bow at him, so they imagined it to be something of a death wish.

The group of Destroyed were coldly smiling at them. But even though they were of the same race as Barr, there was an element of fear in their faces. They didn't want much contact with Barr, either. And now, one of Han Sen's people was aiming a bow at him.

The few Destroyed started to backtrack a little, so they could comfortably watch the show that was about to unfold. It seemed as if a killing fest was about to begin.

Han Meng'er did not put the bow down. She coldly watched Barr approach, and as she did, her bow gathered up more power.

She was only a Marquise, and Barr was a Duke. But Barr was hostile to Han Sen, and so she wouldn't back down.

"Han Sen, tell her to stand down!" a Rebate Duke next to Qing Li said.

"There is no need," Han Sen said coldly.

The bow in Han Meng'er's hand was fully-charged. Without a moment of hesitation, she fired at Barr.

The arrow had been created from a formless swirl of black smoke, and it became almost impossible to see as it flashed towards Barr. It flew near him, ready to perforate his heart.

Everyone was shocked. They thought Han Meng'er was incredibly brave to take the first shot at Barr.

The Rebate Dukes didn't dare say a single word, though. They were afraid Barr would go crazy on them all. So, the Duke pulled on Qing Li and the others to leave. They wanted to get as far away from Han Meng'er and Han Sen as possible, so they could avoid getting involved in their dispute.

The Destroyed stepped back even more, as well. They were still smiling coldly. They looked at Han Meng'er as if she was a dead woman.

Barr was not only a cruel fellow. The others did not know much about him, but the Destroyed most certainly did.

He had been given the title of Born Destroyer by the leader of the Destroyed himself. He was the strongest out of all of the Destroyed.

If Barr had been a pure-blood Destroyed, his talent would have most certainly given him the opportunity to become the next leader of the whole Destroyed race.

Although Barr had not received much support from the Destroyed, he still did far better than most others of the Destroyed. Especially those of the same level as he was. And because he loved killing, his name was deeply associated with cruelty. He was also more famous than most Kings of the Destroyed because of all this, too.

Barr had once slain a Dragon Duke. Dragon One pursued him across a dozen systems in retaliation, but he managed to get away. While he was running away, he killed many Dragon Dukes and Marquises, too. That made the Dragon look really bad, and it gave Barr's notoriety an enormous boost.

Dragon One was a King, but he failed to chase down a Duke. And Barr had killed many of the Dragon. That was why he became famous.

Barr saw Han Meng'er's arrow come right for him, but the speed he used to approach had not changed. He did not use the bone knife slung behind his shoulder. Instead, he reached out his hand to grab the arrow.

Chapter 2175 Shocking Destroyed Power

Barr's hand came into contact with the tip of the arrow, and the expressions on Barr's faces hardened. A black light that looked indestructible cloaked his hand, and it looked like the arrow would shatter against it.

That black arrow seemed to be sharper than expected, though. And when the black arrow came against the black light, it did not break. Barr's power was unable to deflect it. The arrow flashed into Barr's hand like black lightning, and it spun as fast as a drillhead.

The black light broke, sending a flurry of sparks everywhere. Everyone watched as the arrowhead drilled into his hand, tearing through skin and bone. Blood spurted from the entry wound.

The arrow had pierced right through Barr's hand, much to the utter disbelief of Qing Li, the Destroyed, and the Rebate that were watching. They stared as the arrow proceeded towards his heart.

Dong!

Barr fell backward and struck out with his bone knife. It hit the arrow and made a very loud noise. Finally, however, he had managed to break the arrow.

Just as everyone thought that was the end of the matter, they heard an explosion. The broken arrow exploded, becoming a black sun that swallowed Barr's body.

When that scary power faded away, the black light went with it. Qing Li and the others could see that the bone armor Barr had worn was now all gone. His big body was exposed.

But his body was heavily injured, too. Blood was everywhere, and his bones and organs were clearly visible through his wounds.

No one could believe a Marquise's arrow had just damaged Barr like that, oh so simply.

"How… is that possible… This is Barr…" The Destroyed Dukes were all in complete shock. Not even most Dukes could have hurt Barr in that way.

Qing Li and the Rebate were in shock, as well. They didn't expect this sort of result. They never thought Han Sen's faithful Marquise ally could wield such wicked strength.

Han Sen was just as surprised as the others, though. He hadn't expected Han Meng'er to be that strong, but he knew that was her talent and ability. Power like that at Marquise level was definitely competition with what Break Six Skies offered. Pure and utter devastation, when wrought like that, was incredibly scary.

"If Meng'er learned Break Six Skies, combining her power with the explosive abilities of that geno art, how strong could she possibly get?" Han Sen got excited as he thought about the prospect.

"This is amazing!" The injured Barr looked very excited. He was still gripping his bone knife, and he now looked like a wolf that had found some prey. He began to shine red.

Barr's wounds, as grievous as they were, were healing extremely quickly. The gashes on his body closed as they watched, and his power and presence were starting to erupt like a volcano.

His black shadow loomed like a black beast. It was like the whole of the earth had been covered in the shadow of something terrifying. A roiling power was swallowing up the whole region.

Han Meng'er did not move when faced with that presence, though. She simply drew the string of her bow. Immediately after, a black arrow went soaring through the skies and headed for Barr. It was like a black thunderbolt going right for him.

Barr's unnerving excitement hadn't diminished, and he started to dance as he swung his bone knife. His faces were filled with demonic joy as he tried to strike the arrow.

But when the bone knife almost came into contact with the arrow, the arrow behaved like magic. It vanished into thin air, and when it appeared once more, it was already at his chest.

The diamond-like arrowtip started to shred the flesh of his torso. The black arrow pierced through his chest and punctured his heart.

Shtoom! Shtoom! Shtoom!

An entire murder of black arrows soared through the skies at him, fast as lightning. Barr kept swinging his bone knife, but he was unable to break a single arrow.

All of those arrows were like magic. Whenever Barr's bone knife was about to come into contact with an arrow, it would just disappear. And by the time it reappeared, it would already be digging into Barr's flesh.

In a split second, Barr's body had been riddled with at least a dozen arrows. It was like he had been pierced by black thunderbolts.

Qing Li and the others were all frozen. They couldn't believe the sight that their eyes were relaying to them. The Destroyed Marquises and Dukes were all thinking to themselves, "How is this possible… That is Barr…"

Boom!

Han Meng'er, still holding her bow, fired another arrow at Barr. And when this one plunged into him, it exploded. It split into a number of black suns that quickly worked to ravage and shatter Barr's body.

Dong!

When that scary bone knife fell from the hands that clutched them, it struck a rock. It quivered in the rock at an angle, the hilt rising over Barr's shattered body. You couldn't find a single complete muscle from the messy slop that remained.

This was a very shocking turn of events. Qing Li and the other Rebates all stopped. They looked at Han Meng'er, who was standing in front of Han Sen. Her cold but pretty face would forever be branded into their minds.

Han Meng'er didn't rejoice, though. She frowned and looked at Barr's bone knife.

Suddenly, the scraps of flesh that remained began to move. The bits and pieces were all drawing together.

Not long after, the flesh started to assemble itself and come together. The tom muscles and bones recomposed and rebuilt themselves. The figure of Barr was wholly reassembled.

He looked like a doll that had been ripped apart, then sewn back together. There was still a number of seams across his body, of course; they looked like centipedes writhing over him.

The scars disappeared quickly, and a living Barr stood before them once again. He picked up his bone knife, looked at Han Meng'er merrily, and said, "I haven't enjoyed a delicious fight such as this in a very long while. My stomach's already rumbling, you know. Feeling hungry is a wonderful feeling. Now, however, you are my prey. Tell me your name, so that I may remember and record the dish that you will become."

The onlookers stared with open mouths. His body had been ripped apart, but then it had reassembled itself really quickly. Barr's power seemed to be stronger now, too.

"Impossible… impossible… The Destroyed cannot heal themselves, can they? And no, that was far too incredible to be referred to simply as 'healing.' It is as if he can actually revive himself…" Qing Li looked at Barr in sudden fear.

"That is why Barr is Barr. And this is only the beginning." The Destroyed Dukes laughed.

Although Han Meng'er's power had been a surprise, they were still quite confident that Barr would be the victor. Barr might not have been a pure-blood Destroyed, but he was most certainly the strongest among them.

Chapter 2176 Born Killer

Han Sen looked at Barr with surprise. Han Meng'er's power was undoubtedly the best out of all Marquises. She was just as powerful as Han Sen when he used Break Six Skies.

But even after being subjected to that massive amount of power, Barr was able to heal at an alarming speed. And on top of that, the lifeforce inside his body became stronger. That had to be something more than a simple healing ability. It was obvious that Barr had a powerful body, and that must have been how he was able to survive Dragon One's pursuit as a Duke.

The guy's eyes looked menacing, as if killing was his only desire. What Barr saw now wasn't just prey. Han Sen knew the man before him loved nothing more than the pleasure of taking a life.

"A born killing machine," Han Sen thought.

Barr's ugly face looked very excited. It was a rather twisted sight. He licked his lips while he stared at Han Meng'er. Slowly, he started to approach her. The blood air of the bone knife spread out like a tide and then rose up like black fire. It was wholly demonic. The scary presence of it began to spread and suffuse his body.

Han Meng'er was going to raise her bow once again, but Han Sen stopped her with a hand. He smiled and said, "Let me do it. His body is weird, and I think we'll need something more than simple damage output to deal with him."

Han Meng'er's strongest ability was the destructive arrow, but it had now been rendered useless against Barr. Han Sen didn't want her to take any more risks.

When Han Meng'er relaxed her fingers, the bow disappeared. Then, she moved to position herself behind Han Sen.

When Barr saw Han Sen step between Han Meng'er and himself, his face darkened. The bone knife in his hand lurched toward Han Sen, the knife's red power spreading like the abyss.

"Get lost!" he screamed.

Barr's original target was supposed to be Han Sen, but he had now decided that Han Meng'er would be his prey. He wasn't interested in Han Sen anymore, and all he wanted to do now was slay Han Meng'er. He looked as if he had spent the last three days and nights hungry, deprived of food. And now, he had stumbled across a feast that was being taken away from him.

There was no hitman more stubborn than Barr.

Han Sen looked calm as he pulled out his Ghost Teeth Knife and slashed in his opponent's direction.

Dong!

When the knives came against each other, the black blood and the purple air shattered. The blades hit each other with enough force to tear the fabric of space. And indeed, space really did break, cracks spreading from the impact like a spider web. The dark red and purple colors were lost in the chaos.

"Die!" Barr's ugly faces looked more and more excited. The fire in his eyes was almost becoming something real. He looked at Han Sen and quickly waved his bone knife again. The dark beast's shadow appeared behind the oncoming strike.

Barr's knife skills were very rough. There was no finesse or technique to his movements. There was nothing amazing about his skills, and he was a very different fighter than someone like Lone Bamboo.

His knife skills were very rough, wild, violent, and flawed. He didn't care about the more granular details. His efforts were focused into brute force.

Now, Han Sen knew why Barr was not born as a bona fide Destroyed. It was like he was only there to destroy things. It was as if he didn't have any care for himself, and all he wished to do was wreck whatever got in his way.

While knife skills like his were riddled with flaws, Barr did not care. He did not even try to fix them. He just wanted to kill whatever opponent he encountered.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The ugly face kept screaming, and it looked more and more creepy as time progressed. The bone knife was swinging wildly with the aim of consuming Han Sen's body.

Katcha!

Han Sen's Ghost Teeth Knife slashed across Barr's chest. A deep red cut appeared, and blood and purple air began to leak from the seam.

But Barr did not care. The wound did not slow down his assault. If anything, it made him look more excited than ever.

Although the wound could not heal because it had been infused with Teeth power, the attack wasn't strong enough to spread and tear up his body. The purple gash just remained where it was.

Han Sen went on to deal another ten of those attacks. They did not work well, and it seemed like Barr was getting as strong as the devil. And all he wanted was to see Han Sen dead.

Dong!

Ghost Teeth Knife and the bone knife struck each other again. This time, though, Han Sen felt a powerful force come against him. He was sent flying fifty meters back through the air.

In a few minutes, Barr's power had doubled. And furthermore, it was continuing to grow. The wounds weren't making him weaker. They were actually making him stronger.

"Han Sen is strong. He cannot be any weaker than Lone Bamboo. Ordinary Dukes definitely couldn't beat him. It is just a shame that he has picked on the wrong enemy. Barr is a genuine killing machine. During a fight, he continues getting stronger until he can destroy his enemy. Even a King like Dragon One was unable to kill him." A Destroyed Duke looked at Han Sen and smiled confidently.

Qing Li observed Han Sen's situation, and she acknowledged that it wasn't going very well. She felt nervous and wondered out loud, "What is Barr's body actually like? Why can Teeth power not spread across him?"

Han Sen was also beginning to understand just how powerful Barr was. He knew that if he was to deal with an enemy such as that, straight-up violence wouldn't be enough to take him down. Even Teeth powers couldn't rip up Barr's body, and that spoke volumes about the man's talents. The more he fought, the stronger he was going to get.

Seeing Barr holding his bone knife in front of him like some demon, Han Sen thought of something. Then, he made a move. He dodged Barr's bone knife and put his Ghost Teeth Knife away. A pair of pistols then appeared in his hands.

Pang! Pang!

Two bullets thudded into Barr's chest, but at this point, the muscles had become too strong to penetrate. The bullets shattered the moment they came against the steel-like bands of Barr's chest.

But those two bullets each left behind an image of a turtle. Barr tumbled to the ground, leaving a deep crater. Now, he was many times slower.

"His body is strong, but he is not good at resisting debilitative effects. Turtle worked on him perfectly," Han Sen thought to himself.

Seeing Barr's reduced speed, Qing Li was very happy. She exclaimed, "It works! That must be the trick called Turtle, which Han Sen himself created. It is so strong that it has actually managed to suppress Barr."

"If he thinks a sealing power is enough to defeat Barr, then he is very wrong." One of the Duke Destroyed snorted in disdain.

"This is good! I am so excited. So much food for me." Barr's ugly faces devolved further and further into insanity. The cold face in the middle was suddenly starting to move. The eyes turned black and began to shine. Then Barr's body began to turn black. He was turning into dark steel. He was like a demon statue that had been forged from some ancient metal.

The Turtle spell, which had previously slowed him down, suddenly lost all effect. Barr's body was freed, and he flew up high. He slashed towards Han Sen with the power of a devil.

Chapter 2177 Barr

Han Sen moved like a shadow, and Barr's slashing bone knife was unable to strike him. Han Sen couldn't counter Barr's strength directly, so he had to remain fleet of foot. Even blocking one of those blows with his Ghost Teeth Knife would damage him a great deal.

"Barr is getting stronger!" Qing Li had finally seen the problem that Han Sen was having. Barr's increase in strength was becoming obvious to all of the onlookers. And Han Sen's power remained what it was, not increasing at all.

After the power increase, Han Sen was suppressed. All he could do was keep dodging. He couldn't fight Barr anymore.

Qing Li became very worried that there might not be a ceiling to Barr's increase of strength. Even if Han Sen used all of his power, if he couldn't avoid Barr's strikes, he could be killed in one shot.

A Destroyed Duke laughed and said, "Barr is invincible against those who are of the same level as him. And Han Sen is only a Marquise. He might be strong, but a Marquise is just a Marquise. He's offended Barr, so death is his fate, now."

Han Meng'er, Zero, and Little Angel were watching intently. They hadn't said a word thus far. It was usually a noisy affair when women got together, but the three of them weren't the fondest of speaking. So, none of them said a word as they watched.

Little Silver and Little Star were standing with them. They, too, watched quietly.

"Up." Han Sen suddenly leaped upwards and used his knifetip to press forward. A purple knife silk appeared in the air, thinner than a strand of hair. Barr was trapped and tangled up inside the knife silk. He was no longer able to move.

Barr's fire was still growing. He looked at Han Sen with eyes full of rage. His motionless body began to expand, but he couldn't sever the incredibly soft yet durable knife silks. The knife silks dug into his flesh, making the man bleed profusely all over.

Barr laughed. He cared nothing for the wounds he was incurring. He fought back with all his strength, laughing the entire time. And then, there was a katcha! He exerted too much strength, and the knife silks cut him to pieces.

But, a second later, those broken limbs were reconnected once more. Barr was standing again, and his body looked even scarier now.

This guy is pretty hard to deal with. I could totally annihilate his body with Super Spank, but I really shouldn't use it with so many people watching." Han Sen frowned. His mind raced for a way to get rid of Barr.

Barr was powerful, and the Destroyed said Barr was the strongest Duke.

Han Sen did not believe the man was invincible, though. Perhaps Barr was the best out of the Destroyed, but Han Sen did not believe that any random genius in the geno universe could overwhelm his power. Especially not someone who was a Duke.

The bodies of the Dragon were strong and powerful. This was especially true of the King class ones. Barr's body might have been powerful, but not to a degree that elicited fear. His power was limited, and that was why he had been forced to escape from Dragon One. There was nothing to suggest he was actually invincible.

"Thank you…" Barr crooned.. "Thank you so much. Thank you for letting me enjoy such a delicious fight… The moment I kill you will be the best moment of my life!"

Barr was crazy. Every strike carried an endless murderous presence.

Many black and red knife flames rose in the air, crossing over each other. Every scrape across the ground left behind a large knife mark.

Barr's power and speed were better than any others of the same level. It was likely only a small handful of Dukes that had what it took to fight him now.

"So strong!" Han Sen complimented his enemy. He also had to admit that if he did not make use of Super Spank, defeating his opponent would be impossible until he was a Duke.

Blowing him into pieces via Break Six Skies would be a futile endeavor, as well. The enemy would survive, and end up even stronger.

By the way Barr was getting stronger, Han Sen could guess that Barr was using his own injuries for power. The harder Han Sen struck him, the stronger he became.

But he could also tell that the power Barr had absorbed from him wasn't permanent. If it was permanent, Barr wouldn't have been damaged so easily upon their first encounter.

When he first saw Barr, Han Sen noticed that his power was not all that higher than the average Duke. He was nothing special amongst them.

But right now, Barr was ranking amongst the best of the Dukes. To continue fighting this way would only give him even more strength.

"It is useless. No matter how hard he tries, Han Sen is going to die." Many of the Destroyed were smiling. If Barr could kill Han Sen, it'd be a notable boost for the Destroyed.

Han Sen could not kill his enemy, and neither could he risk injuring him. He was getting pretty desperate.

"Die!" Barr's bone knife kept on swinging. The power it carried was enough to sunder mountains. It struck Han Sen's head.

The bone knife met no resistance, and it went clean through Han Sen's head. Then, Han Sen's body exploded like a water balloon. It was another one of his Moon doppelgangers.

The real Han Sen was now standing right next to Barr. His hair was close enough to touch Barr's face.

Han Sen smiled at Barr, and he said, "You are strong. Unreasonably strong. I cannot kill you."

"But of course, I am going to kill you." Barr swung his knife with the aim of cutting Han Sen in half.

Han Sen moved as smoothly as the wind, while Barr's bone knife whistled through the air after him. But there was still a distance between the knife and Han Sen. It felt as if some invisible waves were enabling Han Sen to evade the bone knife.

"I cannot kill you, but I can still beat you!" Han Sen laughed.

"I think he is crazy. If he cannot kill Barr, then how can he defeat him?" A Destroyed Duke grunted repeatedly.

As this was happening, Han Sen raised a pistol with the word "Spell" scrawled across it. He aimed it at Barr's body and pulled the trigger.

Pang!

A bullet whizzed out of the gun and struck Barr's forehead.

The bullet hit Barr's forehead and disintegrated into dust. It left a red mark and a spell behind.

"This skill again? I have told you already, and I can tell you again: your sealing powers won't work on me while I have my chaos powers." Barr looked at his foe with disdain and roared. He used his knife to try to attack Han Sen again.

But after he brought his knife up, his faces went blank. A light sheet of ice began to seep from his forehead, and it started to spread across his entire body. Before he could wipe it away, his body was completely frozen. He looked like an ice statue, sculpted into the shape of a person about to strike.

Chapter 2178 Frozen Barr

The Destroyed Dukes saw Han Sen use an icy force to freeze Barr on the spot. One of the Dukes looked on Han Sen with a sneer. "Ice powers are worthless against the real might of Barr."

"His power is evil. He has a body of chaos and a spirit of disaster. An ordinary Destroyed has three special talents; we can wield light, dark, and chaos powers. Barr's power is different, however, due to the mixed blood in his veins. He has three amazing talents. He can use the evil power to kill. He can use the body of chaos to disturb things. And he can use his spirit of disaster, which is a mysterious power even to us. Each of them possesses incredible power, and together, they make Barr practically invincible."

The Destroyed Duke coldly laughed and said, "Cold powers will not work on Barr. They will only end up making him even stronger. Let's see what happens, shall we? Barr will break the ice very soon."

It looked as if Barr was answering his words, for a squeaking noise began to come from his frozen form. It sounded like glass cracking under pressure.

"Huh. That is a powerful body. Even my upgraded cold powers from Jadeskin can't freeze him effectively," Han Sen complimented his enemy.

But Han Sen was aware that if he had used his Jadeskin godlight in the beginning, Barr would have been unable to escape.

Barr was now bursting with power because of their long, protracted fight. It had allowed Barr's power-gain to build up a ton of momentum. If Han Sen had tried this sooner, Barr wouldn't have been able to break free from the Jadeskin godlight's freezing power.

Luckily, Han Sen wasn't depending on the Jadeskin godlight to freeze Barr. His other hand was holding a pistol. He lifted it and fired at Barr.

A bullet with an ice light was fired. It hit Barr's frozen body, and the Jadeskin godlight froze Barr once again.

But this bullet was different from the one with the earlier Jadeskin godlight. This bullet was equipped with a strange and hidden symbol.

When Spell reached Marquise, a weird symbol began to appear on her ammunition. Its design reflected the symbol on Spell's forehead. It was imbued with the power Spell obtained when she became a Marquise.

"It is useless. No matter how much he tries to freeze Barr, it is all for naught. Doing this will only boost Barr's resistance to the ice powers. Does Han Sen have a death wish?" The Destroyed Duke grinned haughtily.

After firing, Han Sen blew across the barrel of the pistol. He put the pistol away and turned around to look at Han Meng'er. With a shrug of his shoulders, he said, "Let's go. This guy is too difficult to fight. I am unable to kill him."

Han Meng'er and Zero had no opinion of their own, so they were swift to follow Han Sen's decision. A Destroyed Duke loudly said, "Han Sen, there is no point in running! Barr is going to break that ice power. You cannot run. Once Barr has made you his target, there is no escape."

Pang!

Han Sen didn't turn around. He simply drew his gun and fired a bullet at that Duke.

The Destroyed Duke's face went white, and it was too late for him to dodge. The three heads shouted, while the six arms wielded three different orbs of light in a bid to deflect that incoming bullet.

Pang!

The tri-colored godlight hit the bullet, and the bullet exploded. A mushroom cloud rose from that spot, turning the place where the Destroyed Duke had stood into a small crater. The entire team was blown up into a bloody mess that painted the region. The Destroyed Duke up front was nothing but bits.

There were two Destroyed Dukes a little away from the group. They weren't killed in an instant, but they were left to bleed out. Death would come for them soon enough. They lay writhing on the ground, looking up at Han Sen in horror.

"You guys aren't Barr, so don't talk crap to me." Han Sen put his pistol away and left the area with his companions.

Qing Li and the other Rebate were paralyzed on the spot. They knew Han Sen was strong, but they did not know he was that strong.

He was only a Marquise, but in a split second, he had wiped out an entire group of Dukes with a single attack. That level of power was scary to behold.

"No wonder he shared the same name as Lone Bamboo. That is way too frightening." Qing Li's pretty eyes looked upon him with complete admiration. In her heart, she was thinking, "Should I keep begging him to be my teacher? Perhaps he should be my teacher instead of Knife Queen. But he already rejected me once before. Now he definitely won't accept me."

"Barr will kill you… Kill you…" wheezed the two dying Destroyed. Blood was drooling out of their mouths.

They knew they weren't going to live long, so they put their hopes of vengeance on Barr. They hoped Barr would be able to break the ice and kill Han Sen.

They looked upon the frozen Barr with excitement, hoping to see Barr burst free before they passed. They imagined Han Sen then being killed by Barr. It made their dying bodies grasp a smidgen of power to stay alive just a little bit longer.

But Han Sen and the others were already leaving, and the frozen Barr had yet to move. He was still holding the bone knife, and he was facing down like a frozen statue.

"Impossible. How can that ice freeze chaos power? Impossible. Barr must be able to break the ice… He just needs a bit of time…" the Destroyed thought desperately.

Han Sen and the others left the area. Barr was still frozen on the spot, not moving.

At first, the Destroyed were optimistic. Then, they were disappointed. And lastly, they looked to be drained of all hope. Their final breaths were spent staring at the frozen Barr. They did not close their eyes, but even so, Barr remained frozen. He did not move.

Other elites soon came walking by, and when they saw the frozen Barr, they were stunned. When they realized Barr had been frozen by Han Sen, they were even more shocked.

Barr was an infamous Duke, so it was hard to imagine how a Marquise had managed to trap him like that.

The Destroyed Nobles eventually came and took the frozen Barr away, but it was several hours before they arrived.

This was the first time Han Sen had used Spell while it operated with the power of a Marquise. He did not know what the new power was called, but that symbol had a strange power that would not fade away. So, Han Sen called it Eternity.

Han Sen only wanted to freeze his foe for a while, so he could buy them enough time to vacate the area. Han Sen did not expect the Eternity effects to be so strong. A few hours later, Barr was still frozen.

Chapter 2179 I'll Eat You

Han Sen and his group traveled across a number of mountains and swamps. He was able to find a few xenogeneic corpses, but he couldn't find a single one that was still alive.

They couldn't find any Duke xenogeneics, and not even any low level ones, either.

"Why are there so many people taking advantage of a time like this?" Han Sen felt depressed. But with the way things were going, he realized there was nothing he'd be able to do about it.

He decided to leave Planet Sodi. But suddenly, many Duke elites began to descend from space.

Seeing the skies fill with spaceships and elites coming to Planet Sodi, Han Sen raised his eyebrows. Had they not been flying in a number of different directions, Han Sen might have believed they were coming for him.

"Planet Sodi is under lockdown. Please do not try to leave the surface." An announcement was aired through the skies.

Battleships and airships all sat in a gridlock over Planet Sodi. Even space fortresses were kept in the orbit of the planet. Weapons were aimed at Planet Sodi from every direction, as well. If they all fired their weapons, Planet Sodi would have been reduced to space rubble ten times over.

Many small aircraft flew out of the greater battleships, and they all seemed to be heading down towards Planet Sodi. Han Sen was shocked, and he wished to know what was going on. "That Destroyed traitor cannot be on Planet Sodi, can he? If he is, then he must be a very brave fellow. He might have been hiding in plain sight, but it appears someone has exposed him." Han Sen could not think of any more potential explanations for the current scenario. But still, he was just guessing. Nothing was confirmed yet. Han Sen would know soon enough if the traitor was there, though. That much he was sure of.

The whole of Planet Sodi was locked down. It was impossible for Han Sen and the others to leave the planet now. All the battleships and space fortresses were put into combat mode. If Han Sen's group forced their way out, they'd surely be attacked.

This was a territory belonging to the Rebate, so at least Han Sen was a part of them. There was no need for him to try to run. So, Han Sen took Han Meng'er and the others to the only city that existed on Planet Sodi. It was called Steel City.

Han Sen was something of a VIP amongst the Rebate. When he entered Steel City, the workers there gave him a glowing reception. They heartily invited him in and gave him a room at the most luxurious hotel in town.

"I hope the lockdown doesn't last too long. I don't want to be late when I am supposed to guard the door." Han Sen didn't think it would take too long, though. They had locked down the planet with a large host of Dukes and Marquises. It would be impossible for the Marquise they sought to escape them.

But two days went by, and those enforcing the lockdown still hadn't found the traitor.

Han Sen frowned. There were so many Dukes and Marquises there, the entirety of Planet Sodi had to have been searched from top to bottom by now. Despite their exploration of every nook and cranny, the Destroyed traitor had eluded capture.

There were only two possible explanations for this. Firstly, they might have been working on incorrect intel. Perhaps the traitor wasn't even on Planet Sodi, and that was why they were having trouble locating him.

The second possibility was that the Destroyed traitor wasn't actually hiding. Perhaps he really was walking around in plain sight, but he had changed his appearance. And as a result, nobody recognized him.

Han Sen didn't think the first possibility was correct. If they hadn't been able to confirm that this was precisely where the Destroyed traitor was, there was no way they would have blanketed the sky with such a dramatic show of force. Apparently, the authorities were confident in their intel. The traitor was most likely there.

"If he really has disguised his identity, that is very bad news. There are so many Marquises here on this planet. They cannot check everyone, and so if that is the case, they will be unable to find him." Han Sen was worried that it might take too long for him to return to Cold Palace in time.

Han Sen and Han Meng'er and the others were all merrily eating in the hotel lobby. Eventually, Han Sen detected a certain presence that was familiar to him. He lifted his head to take a look, and there he saw that same Extreme King woman he had encountered before.

She hadn't left the territory of the Rebate yet. And on top of that, she had come to the Six Star xenogeneic space. She must have also been looking for the stolen treasure of the Destroyed.

"What could he have stolen, I wonder? It has even prompted the people of Extreme King to come out in search of it." Han Sen was shocked.

The Extreme King woman saw Han Sen, but she pretended that she hadn't. She walked right past Han Sen and sat near the window.

Han Sen didn't concern himself with her too much. If she wanted to ignore him, then he figured there was little point in him approaching her. He might find himself asking for trouble.

Not long after, Han Sen saw many different races coming into the restaurant. Many of the elites that were out in search of the traitor had come to Steel City.

They realized the problem now. The Destroyed traitor was no longer hiding. The traitor had changed their identity, and now no one knew who it might have been.

A few Buddha came into the restaurant. One Marquise in particular came up to Han Sen and bowed before him.

"Amitabha! Mister Han. Thank you for saving me."

Han Sen remembered that Buddha as one of the Marquises he saved in Metal World. He hadn't learned the man's name, however.

You are welcome, but I was just trying to save myself," Han Sen responded quietly.

When Han Sen and that Marquise Buddha spoke, many Marquises and Dukes heard them and approached. Kahn was amongst them. When he saw Han Sen, he smiled and sat dovm next to him. "Brother Han, how much of a coincidence is this? We have met once again. I have heard that you froze Barr. That is very scary. You becoming a Marquise was a little late, wasn't it? If you were Marquise a little earlier, I bet that Dollar would have met his match against you. You should have been the first name on the Geno Being Scroll."

Kahn had turned into a rather obnoxious bootlicker. All of the elites looked over to Han Sen, with a mixture of complicated expressions.

Han Sen ignored Kahn's praise. That guy was like a cockroach, and he never died. Although Kahn was just a Marquise, Han Sen had tried to kill his giant golem body twice and failed. Kahn was still alive, and everywhere Han Sen went, he kept bumping into the annoying man.

"Huh," Kahn grunted, and his face went a little pale. That was because a large man had walked into the establishment, clutching a bone knife.

Han Sen turned his head. Barr stood there, holding his bone knife. The freeze effect had vanished.

Barr's appearance made the whole lobby stop. That cruel man would kill anyone, anywhere. He had no concern for law or morals.

Kahn saw Barr approach, and so he stood up. He forced a smile at Han Sen and said, "Talk soon."

After that, Kahn returned to the table he was at earlier with the rest of his Demon fellows.

Barr came in front of Han Sen and said coldly, "I'll eat you."

After that, he did not wait for Han Sen's response. He walked to another table and thrust the bone knife into the ground. He sat there and looked at Han Sen without blinking.

Han Sen knew Barr hadn't found a way to defrost fully. If he had, the monster would have struck Han Sen without speaking.

No one knew what was going on, but there were many Dukes and Marquises there. Droves of them filled the lobby.

"Can I sit here?" asked a voice near Han Sen.

Chapter 2180 Gathering Up in the Lobby

Han Sen raised his head and saw a Feather woman standing beside him. She had blue eyes and blonde hair. Her snow- white wings were very attractive, and the gorgeous curves of her body were difficult to look away from.

Han Sen looked around and noticed that all the tables were taken. There weren't many empty seats in the establishment.

Barr was occupying a table all by his lonesome, but no one wished to sit with him.

"As you please," Han Sen said casually. Then he proceeded to ignore the Feather woman's presence as he went back to scoffing down his meal.

Something seemed to be very wrong. The atmosphere of the place held a subtle tension, and he had the sneaking suspicion that something awry was on the verge of happening. He planned to stay there and watch whatever event was about to unfold.

The Feather woman ordered something to eat, but she didn't talk much. She just sat where she was quietly, and when the meal came, she began eating without making a sound.

Many creatures came into the restaurant, but there were no more tables for them. They filtered through the building, looking for a spot to sit near someone else of the same race. When someone couldn't find a seat, they stood by the wall instead of leaving.

Finally, a Duke with the head of a bull arrived. He and a few of his kind moved over to the Extreme King woman's table. They didn't say anything, and they just reached for chairs.

Han Sen knew that what happened next would be entertaining.

"Get lost," the Extreme King woman barked before the bull-headed men had settled themselves.

"Young one, don't be so cocky. That won't turn out well for you," the bull-headed Duke looked on her coldly. He had no intention of heeding the Extreme King's warning. He smiled as he pulled out a seat for himself.

"D*mn it," Han Sen sighed. He knew those bull-headed people were brainless. Even if the Duke didn't know that she belonged to Extreme King, he should have known something was off when he saw one woman sitting by herself while every other table was packed to the gills with other people. And on top of asking for a seat, he dared to provoke her with harsh words.

As the bull-headed Duke sat down, the woman moved her arm. Before the bull-headed man realized what had happened, he had been sent flying.

Pang!

The Duke's airborne flight sent him crashing through a wall. He flew out of the hotel's restaurant and skidded across the ground. He struggled to get back to his feet, and blood spilled out of his mouth.

Everyone looked at the Extreme King woman in shock. The other bull-headed men in her proximity lurched back in fright, then started to run off. They picked up the injured bull-headed Duke and fled without saying a word.

Although the bull-headed Duke was not a real elite, a minor slap from the woman had almost killed him. She obviously possessed a disturbing amount of power.

Qing Li sat down and quietly told Han Sen, "Right now, every race is thinking that the traitor is hiding someplace in Steel City. They are checking around everywhere in the hopes of finding him. The bull-heads and the Destroyed seem to have a connection, too. If I am guessing correctly, they were sent here to test that woman. No one expected the woman to be so strong, and so they're wondering if she is the traitor."

"Do you know where the traitor comes from?" Han Sen asked.

Qing Li thought for a moment. "The one that betrayed the Destroyed isn't actually one of the Destroyed himself. He was an outsider that joined them. The Destroyed did not say which race the person belongs to, so we have no clue who it might be. According to our investigation, the traitor's race has yet to be determined. And there's a good chance that the traitor can shapeshift into any race."

After that, Qing Li looked at the Feather woman. Her eyes narrowed slightly in suspicion.

Han Sen nodded and asked, "Do you know what treasure the traitor stole?"

Qing Li nodded and said, "There is some news, but I'm not sure whether or not it is the truth. It looks like the traitor stole a deified treasure called the Destroyed Bible. That is why the Destroyed are so on edge. They really need to find that traitor and reclaim the Destroyed Bible. All the races are looking for the treasure as well. That is why the situation has become so complicated."

"Where did this nugget of information come from?" Han Sen looked at her queerly.

"No one knows the original source, but the topic is being discussed everywhere." Qing Li looked confused, and then she went on to ask Han Sen, "Do you think it isn't true?"

Han Sen shrugged. "I'm just wondering. Maybe the traitor released the news himself, hoping to stir up all this chaos. That might be the way he has managed to survive. Otherwise, something so secretive wouldn't have spread so quickly. This is just a guess, of course. I don't really know much of anything."

Han Sen paused, and then went on to ask, "What is the Destroyed Bible? It sounds like a geno art. Why is it considered a treasure, instead?"

Qing Li looked at Han Sen in surprise. "You've never heard of the Destroyed Bible? It's a Destroyed treasure. The story goes that when the Destroyed alpha died, his xenogeneic gene became a deified treasure. And it also contains the Destroyed alpha's powers. Inheriting that power is very difficult, however. No one can really understand it, so they can't make use of the Destroyed Bible's power.

Even so, the Destroyed Bible is still their most important treasure. They cherish it because it represents their race as a whole. So, the Destroyed really want the Destroyed Bible back. They won't allow any other race to take it."

Han Sen didn't speak, but to himself, he was thinking, "A deified treasure sounds valuable indeed. Especially if it carries the power of a Destroyed alpha. It is no wonder that everyone seems to be after it. Even I fancy poking around for it now. But with that being said, anyone who takes it would find much ire directed at them by the Destroyed."

Han Sen noticed that the Destroyed Marquises and Dukes were staring at Zero, Han Meng'er, Little Angel, and the Feather woman. Their eyes were intent.

Han Sen's heart jumped, and he thought to himself, "Did they find out that the traitor that stole the Destroyed Bible was not a man, but in fact… a woman?"

And then, Han Sen looked at the Feather woman. If the traitor was a woman, then the Feather woman really did seem suspicious. She was all alone, after all.

As he looked at her, Han Sen became more and more intrigued. The woman's presence seemed like an ordinary Feather Marquise on the surface, but when Han Sen scanned her with his Dongxuan Aura, her aura seemed like nothing more than a disguise. That woman's presence actually ran really deep. It possessed a depth Han Sen's Dongxuan Aura could not even reach.

"Is she the real traitor of the Destroyed?" Han Sen guessed.

Chapter 2181 Who is the Traitor?

The woman seemed to know what Han Sen was thinking. She smiled at Han Sen, but she did not say anything. Quietly, she continued eating her meal.

Han Sen thought that the woman was definitely a suspicious character, but he could not be sure if she was the traitor of the Destroyed or not.

Han Sen thought of something, but a Dragon man was already approaching his table. He sat down next to Han Sen, then looked at Zero and the rest of the girls. "Marquise Han, I have heard that one of your female Marquises used one arrow to almost completely obliterate Barr. That is a most impressive feat. I must wonder which of your companions were able to do such a thing? Could you tell me?"

When the Dragon man spoke, the whole restaurant became deathly quiet. Everyone turned to look at their table.

Han Sen looked at the Dragon man with a quizzical expression. He had obviously been sent to verify and confirm the identity of Han Sen's companions. Han Sen wasn't surprised by this, but it was strange how a connection was drawn via the attack on Barr.

When Barr heard the Dragon man speak, he did not move. Obviously, Barr had to be afraid of the figure.

If the man next to Han Sen was able to stay Barr's hand through fear, though, then he had to be someone of profound notoriety.

Han Sen kept his gaze on the Dragon man. "This is my daughter Han Meng'er. Those two are my sisters. And this is Flower King's daughter from Narrow Moon. Her name is Qing Li. As for this Feather friend, I must admit I do not know her." Han Sen introduced the rest on his table, but he didn't mention Little Silver or Little Star.

After the Dragon man heard what he said, he turned his eyes to the Feather woman. He looked at her and asked,

"Where have you come from? What business brings you here?"

The Dragon man's behavior made Han Sen certain that the Destroyed traitor was in-fact a woman. Either that, or the traitor at least had the ability to present themselves as a woman. If this was not the case, then the Dragon man would have been sure to ask for the identity of Little Silver and Little Star. His interest remained fixed on the women, though. His sudden focus on the Feather woman made it very obvious. Han Sen didn't think he was even bothering to hide it.

The Feather woman smiled and looked at the Dragon man. "I know of you, Dragon Six. Your title is Toxic Dragon Old Six. And while you are a Dragon Duke, I don't have to answer your questions. This place does not belong to the Dragon."

Toxic Dragon Old Six froze. He looked at the Feather woman and smiled. "If you know who I am, then you must be aware of what I can do. You should spare yourself the trouble and cooperate. I would not like to destroy a woman."

But that Feather paid no mind to Toxic Dragon Old Six's threat. She smiled and said, "If I am the person you are looking for, killing me wouldn't get you what you want. And if I am not the correct person, and you did kill me, you won't get what you want and people will become suspicious. They will think that perhaps you were the one that took it. I don't think there is any sound reason for you to kill me here. So, why should I cooperate with you? I might be mistaken, of course. Are you cruel enough to slay me right here? If that is the case, then so be it."

After that, the Feather woman elegantly returned to eating her dish. She totally ignored the simmering anger of Toxic Dragon Old Six.

The muscles in the Dragon's jaw tightened, and he laughed darkly. "I won't kill you. There are ten thousand ways to make you wish you were dead. That is what I am going to do to you."

After that, Toxic Dragon Old Six's dragon hand clutched a dragon knife. He slowly moved to grab the woman's head.

But the Feather woman kept eating as if she hadn't seen it coming. Either that, or she was willing to concede. She ignored Toxic Dragon Old Six's hand completely.

"Dragon Six, this is where you eat. This isn't where you sh*t. Even if she was the traitor of the Destroyed, you should allow us, the Destroyed, to do this ourselves. This is none of your business," a Destroyed Duke said coldly.

When Dragon Six heard that intrusion, his hand stilled. He looked at the Destroyed Duke and grinned. "You want to get me mad and goad me into killing her, just so everyone turns their attention to me? Good idea, but I'm not that stupid."

After that, Toxic Dragon Old Six returned his gaze to the Feather woman. He lowered his hand, got up, and returned to sit with the rest of the Dragon.

Han Sen was entertained. Whether or not the woman was the Destroyed traitor, she was a powerful character. If she wasn't, she couldn't have remained so chill.

Han Sen could see that Dragon Six wasn't going to kill her right there, but she was very calm. And it only took her a few sentences to talk down suspicions of her identity. She made people uncertain of what to do with her. She seemed rather dangerous, but it brought an air of balance to her character. There were not many people that were able to do such a thing.

There were too many suspicious things about her, though. Even if she didn't say anything more, she was still attracting every eye in the establishment. But no one would do anything to her before they figured this out. There were too many factions present with too much at stake.

"I am full. I appreciate you allowing me to sit here. I believe we will meet again." The Feather woman smiled at Han Sen, then she got up and went upstairs. She was living there.

"Powerful woman. Might she really be the traitor?" Qing Li pursed her lips.

"Who knows? Maybe she is. Maybe she isn't." Han Sen looked around him, and he noticed all the other races were staring at them.

That woman had established a connection between him and her. And because they were suspicious about her, the association made them suspicious about him and his own companions.

After eating, Han Sen took his companions outside. He noticed that every elite was now gathered in Steel City. The whole town was locked down. You could only get in, and you could not get out. Apparently, the authorities believed that the traitor was indeed located somewhere in Steel City.

That was a fairly sensible conclusion, or at least, Han Sen thought so. The only place to hide on Planet Sodi was in its sole city, and finding the traitor amongst the hordes of Marquises there would be a very trying task.

But Han Sen had to wonder why the traitor had selected Planet Sodi. And he pondered what the traitor's escape plan might be.

If the traitor was really there, the person might be very difficult to locate. Of course, it was only a matter of time. They would find the traitor, sooner or later. And if the traitor came here, she had to have been prepared. And if the traitor was prepared, then she had to have an escape plan. Han Sen could not think of a way in which he might manage that, though.

Han Sen was giving the matter a lot of thought because he now wanted the Destroyed Bible for himself. If he was able to find the traitor before everyone else, he could take it without anyone noticing. He could throw it back into the sanctuaries, and that way, no one would ever find it. It would remain hidden even if people thought he was the culprit.

But right now, not even Han Sen knew who the traitor was. He did not know if the traitor had brought the Destroyed Bible with them, either.

Chapter 2182 Messy Figh

The whole of Steel City was a chaotic mess. All the Dukes and Marquises had been gathered in the city, and the tension was electric. The different races all suspected one-another, which led to many conflicts and brawls that served no purpose.

Ultimately, the traitor stayed hidden. And above all, that meant Han Sen had no choice but to remain where he was. He was not allowed to leave.

Although the Rebate had been trying to negotiate, the Destroyed were adamant about not permitting anyone to leave Planet Sodi until the traitor was found. Those of the other races were not allowed to leave, and that included the Rebate themselves.

Han Sen believed there to be other individuals mixed up in this, people who were aiding the traitor in her escape. He thought much of the current chaos and anarchy was a deliberate concoction to help the true traitor get away. It was difficult to determine the truth of this, though. There were no more leads or clues, so whether the traitor was alone or working with others was impossible to confirm.

And that was the reason that all the races were suspicious of each other.

The next day, after Han Sen left his room, the restaurant was jam-packed with elites again. This time, however, he was unable to find a seat. Just as he was going to take his meal back to his room, though, the Feather woman from the day before called him over and said, "Why don't we sit together?"

Han Sen glanced over at her empty table. Although others were keen to watch her, no one dared to actually sit next to her.

Han Sen knew this was because she was a very suspicious individual. No one wanted to sit with her and risk drawing attention and trouble to themselves. Their fear was more about the other elites than the woman herself.

Han Sen did not care about that, though. He had already interacted with her the day before, so sitting with her again wouldn't make a difference. The suspicion wasn't going to rinse off that easily.

Han Sen and his companions had just sat down when the Extreme King lady entered the restaurant. People did not know she was of the Extreme King, but her slap had made people afraid of her.

The Extreme King woman, having just entered the establishment, was unable to find a seat for herself. So, she walked to the table she had used the day before.

There were a few Dragons sitting there that day, though. And amongst them was Dragon Six.

Everyone saw the woman approach Toxic Dragon Old Six, and everyone knew immediately that they'd be in for some mid-meal entertainment.

The Extreme King marched right up to the table and informed them directly, "I will allow you guys the chance to leave now."

No one expected that woman to be so brash; after all, no one spoke to Toxic Dragon Old Six like that. Everyone was very interested in seeing how he'd react to her.

Toxic Dragon Old Six rolled his eyes and then looked at the woman with flat eyes. "Why?"

The woman did not speak. Instead, she just punched him.

Toxic Dragon Old Six hummed. His fist suddenly glared with a green Evilbreaker power, and he lifted it against the woman's mighty fist. The two powers thrummed against each other.

But because the two people hadn't released all their powers, they both pulled back before they created a restaurant- destroying explosion. It looked like a tie, though, and neither of the two seemed willing to back-off.

But Toxic Dragon Old Six's eyes widened. He stood up and said, "Let's go."

Then, he and his friends quickly left. He allowed the woman to occupy the table all by herself.

Everyone watched in silence as the woman ordered her meal. No one could understand why Dragon Six had been so willing to back off and give her his table. This also raised a few suspicions in regards to the identity of the woman.

Han Sen knew that the woman hailed from Extreme King, so he knew why Dragon Six was so willing to walk away. And furthermore, Dragon Six had deliberately chosen that seat to test her. After that punch, Dragon Six seemed to fully acknowledge who she was. And so, he relented. He knew he shouldn't bother her anymore.

While Han Sen was still in thought, Barr lifted his bone knife and ran at Han Sen, shouting, "You will die today! Either in here or out there."

Han Sen frowned. If Barr had come looking for him, that meant the man had found a way to resist the cold. Han Sen was not afraid of him, but he did find this a bit of a nuisance.

Steel City was locked down, so it wasn't as if he could run away or escape.

"Barr, do not be so cocky. This place belongs to the Rebate." The Rebate manager frowned.

"So?" After Barr said that, he lost all of his patience. He lifted his knife toward Han Sen while a red and black light amassed on the blade. When he unleashed that strike, it was sure to slice the entire hotel in half.

The entire lobby descended into chaos. Everyone in the knifelight's path tried to run away. No one wanted to get involved with whatever was about to happen.

Han Sen kept his seat, though. He didn't move away, but he did draw a pistol and fire a shot at Barr.

Barr looked murderous. The bone knife struck the incoming bullet, though. The bullet was stopped, and Barr was saved from the gunshot. That knifelight had been so strong, however, that the strike kept coming. It sliced through the lobby, causing enough instability in the building to bring the whole place crumbling down.

Han Sen dodged Barr's knifelight. And as he did, his pistols swept smoothly up to point at Barr. He began firing without reprieve.

Barr was not very good when it came to defense. He didn't even bother defending himself, and so the bullets fell on him easily. The ice light of those bullets began to spread across him, too.

But this time, the ice light was unable to freeze him. A silver necklace with a gold jewel hung from Barr's neck.

After the ice light exploded, the gold jewel on Barr's necklace began to glow with a lava-looking, gold flame. It melted the icy force and kept it from doing anything.

"A Light Fireseed necklace!" someone screamed, recognizing the necklace Barr was now wearing.

When Barr saw that the necklace worked and that Han Sen's freezing power no longer posed a threat, he smiled. Then he looked at Han Sen with rage. He waved his knife and screamed, "I am going to eat you!"

Han Sen's heart jumped. He summoned his dragon wings, his dragon ear wings, and petrified his skin. He flapped his wings, and his red body teleported away from the incoming strike.

Barr roared. He lifted his knife and ran after Han Sen. His eyes looked like they were on fire with the desire to kill Han Sen.

The restaurant had been thrown into turmoil. No one knew who started this all, but everyone was now fighting. And as everyone fought against each other in a massive brawl, the hotel was rapidly reduced to splinters.

No one knew where Toxic Dragon Old Six came from, but he was back, and he threw a punch towards the Feather woman that was near Han Sen.

The woman flapped her wings and avoided the strike, though. Toxic Dragon Old Six was unable to catch up with her.

It was possible that he deliberately didn't go after the Feather woman, because Toxic Dragon Old Six seemed fine with allowing the green light shrouding his fist to come down towards Little Angel and the others.

Little Angel and Zero were able to avoid the strike, but another few xenogeneics came forward to attack them.

Han Sen had stumbled outside to fight Barr, and he finally realized what was going on. People were suspicious of the girls around him, and they wanted to test out his companions. Han Sen couldn't believe it.

Neither Han Meng'er, Little Angel, or Zero was the traitor they were looking for. But even so, it mattered little. If Han Sen's companions could be killed, that's all that mattered to the others. Somehow, they had just gained a horde of new enemies.

Chapter 2183 Siege

Han Sen wanted to go back, but Barr was hounding him. He wasn't going to let Han Sen return to his friends.

Toxic Dragon Old Six missed his attack, but he did not stop. He ran towards the Feather woman, with a toxic light leaking from his fist. He really was like a toxic dragon.

The Feather woman kept dodging, though. She maneuvered as gracefully as a dancer. She was just a Marquise, and yet she was acquitting herself well against the Duke Dragon Six. He was unable to land a single blow on her.

A few of the Destroyed Dukes were headed for Little Angel. They looked murderous and cruel, and it was clear that they planned to destroy her.

As those attacks came down on Han Sen's group, a blue light suddenly shone from Han Meng'er. It shielded Little Angel, Zero, Little Silver, and Little Star.

Pang!

The Destroyed Dukes hit the blue shield, but none of their attacks were able to do anything.

"She's using Han Sen's defense treasure!" One of the Destroyed Dukes frowned. They knew Han Sen's shield was impervious to damage, even from something that was King class in power. So, they knew right away that they'd be unable to hack their way through the shield.

"Good! If they have the defense treasure, then that means Han Sen has nothing to protect himself. We finally have an excuse for killing Han Sen!" The Destroyed Duke that spoke looked cruel. He headed for Han Sen, who was leaping through the air, still engaged in combat with Barr.

"Stay back! He is mine!" Barr shouted and swung his knife at the approaching Dukes.

Those Destroyed Dukes were almost struck by Barr. They all had to scramble and leap away, which left them angry and shocked.

"Barr! What are you doing?" a Destroyed Duke shouted at Barr.

"I told you that he's mine, didn't I?" Barr grunted as he moved in to attack Han Sen. Those Destroyed Dukes came to a standstill in mid-air, their faces turning green from Barr's rude refusal to accept their help.

"Ignore him! Find the traitor first," commanded a Destroyed Duke with hard eyes.

"Yes, Mister Dia Robber." That group of Destroyed Dukes complied immediately, and so they all descended on the city and the women in it.

The Destroyed weren't the only ones doing this, though. Everyone started to attack the women who were of a different kind to themselves. They were all desperate to find the traitor.

Just as Han Sen expected, everyone believed that the traitor was indeed a woman. But they did not know which race she belonged to, and so every woman became a target. Everyone started to attack without a second thought.

It was absolute chaos in every direction. Their fight had cascaded until the entire city turned into a battleground. Fortunately, Han Meng'er and the others had the protection of the Demon Bug Bai Sema, so they were able to avoid being hit. There were no King class elites around, so no one present could break the Bai Sema. The Feather woman kept coming under attack by the furious Dragon Six, and everyone else had their eyes on her. She really did seem to be the most likely suspect.

Barr attacked Han Sen in a fury. Han Sen relied on his dragon wings and Break Space Flash to avoid him. He didn't attack Barr, though. He did not want to risk making the crazy man any stronger.

Ice no longer worked on Barr. Han Sen fired volley after volley, but it wouldn't freeze him. Spell's freezing powers would only work if they hit the enemy. But now, the necklace was keeping the ice from making contact every single time. The freezing powers weren't going to work.

"The Light Fireseed necklace is one of the deified treasures of the Destroyed, right? I cannot believe the Destroyed let Barr use it. How much do they want me dead?" Han Sen chuckled darkly, then squinted at the necklace.

Han Sen knew that the most famous treasures of the Destroyed were the Light Fireseed necklace, the Dark Eye Ring, and the Chaos Statue.

Barr's neck looked to be adorned by that same Light Fireseed necklace.

Life starts with fire, and it ends with fire. The legendary Light Fireseed necklace had the light of fire. It was one of the strongest fire element treasures, even possessing light powers.

The legends said that a deified Destroyed once owned that necklace. He used it to incinerate an entire system. It was quite a scary item, if the story was true.

But Barr was only a Duke. He could not use the might of the necklace in full. Even so, it was more than adequate to protect its bearer from any cold powers that came against him. Unless Han Sen was King class, there was no chance of him being able to freeze Barr this time.

Han Sen flapped his wings. He flew one hundred meters away and fired his gun, shooting a few of the Destroyed Dukes that were nearby.

Pang! Pang!

The explosive sounds were everywhere, and the Destroyed Dukes were reduced to ash.

Han Sen moved quickly, and he evaded each and every one of Barr's attacks. He kept shooting at the Destroyed as he went, raising their death toll higher and higher.

"Han Sen, fight me!" Barr roared, but there was nothing he could do to stop Han Sen.

Dia Robber saw a Duke get wasted by Han Sen, and it made him frown. Then, he went after Han Sen with his fist raised.

The male face that represented light started to glow resplendently. His fist was like an actual sun, holding a candescent godlight.

Han Sen flapped his wings and disappeared. He avoided the punch and fired his gun at Dia Robber.

The female face of Dia Robber represented darkness. She released a dark light. The ten fingers were like daggers that shredded the hail of bullets Han Sen fired at them.

The bullets exploded on contact, but the black power formed a bottomless black hole in the air that sucked in the bullets and swallowed their effects. They were removed from play.

"Dia Robber! He is mine," Barr proclaimed angrily.

"Then kill him before I can," Dia Robber said coldly. The bird face of the middle represented chaos, and it began to produce light.

A turbulent power leaked out of him to cover a radius of one thousand meters, and when Han Sen tried to use Break Space Flash, he realized he was unable to teleport anymore.

Barr roared. He swung his bone knife through another flurry of attacks to smite Han Sen. He didn't try to force Dia Robber to leave as he had all the other Destroyed Dukes.

Dia Robber was coming for Han Sen now, too. The six arms released a trio of powers to damage Han Sen.

Dia Robber continually released a chaotic power into the air around him. Break Space Flash did not work anymore, so Han Sen was unable to teleport away to safety.

Facing the attacks of two Dukes, Han Sen was now at a disadvantage. Han Sen relied on his movements and speed, and he had to operate at max capacity to stay ahead. But even so, it ultimately insufficient to avoid the attacks of both Barr and Dia Robber.

"If I was a Duke, I wouldn't have to be afraid of fighting them. But I am just a Marquise, and my power is far inferior to Dukes like Dia Robber." Han Sen thought about how he might deal with his current enemies. There were still things he wanted to gain from this situation.

"Traitor! She is the traitor!" Suddenly, a deafening shout came from behind them. Everyone stopped to pay attention.

Chapter 2184 The Real Traitor

Everyone's attention was drawn to the shout; even Han Sen's. The voice had come from Toxic Dragon Old Six. He was flecked with blood, and a black shape had been seared into his chest that looked like a woman's hand.

The handprint had burned through Toxic Dragon Old Six's dragon scales, branding his chest with its black mark.

"Destroyed power!" someone shouted. Then everyone was jumping toward the Feather woman. Even Dia Robber abandoned his attack on Han Sen to deal with her.

Aside from the Destroyed, the only person that could use Destroyed power to damage Dragon Six in such a way had to be the Destroyed traitor.

Toxic Dragon Old Six had kept pursuing that Feather woman, and she had finally hurt him.

Everyone was running for the Feather woman now. Only Barr, who was completely obsessed with Han Sen, remained to finish what he had started.

Han Sen felt glum about this, of course. But when Dia Robber left, he took his disruptive powers with him. Han Sen could suddenly use Break Space Flash again, thankfully.

Han Sen moved fast, activating Break Space Flash as he went. Before Barr caught up with him, Han Sen rushed into a building. When Barr ripped the building apart to locate Han Sen, he couldn't find him anywhere.

"Han Sen! Get out here!" Barr struck out furiously with his bone knife, reducing the building to smaller and smaller pieces, but he still couldn't find Han Sen.

Han Sen wasn't in the mood to deal with the immortal madman. After Little Invisible cast a power on him, he became completely transparent. And furthermore, he used his Dongxuan Aura to mask his presence. Then he slipped out from under Barr's nose.

Everyone was intent on hunting down the Destroyed traitor now. Many scary powers were being hurled towards the Feather woman, but the Feather woman slipped by them with unbelievable grace.

Despite being only a Marquise, she was teleporting straight through the Dukes and Marquises hunting her. Even Dia Robber was unable to stop her.

Dia Robber's bird head flashed. That same field of chaos was opened, and the woman fell into it.

But shockingly, the woman's movement abilities weren't affected by the power. She could still teleport, and no one was able to do her any harm.

"You stupid people! Do you really think I am the Destroyed traitor? Dragon Six used that palm strike himself. He hit himself! It has nothing to do with me!" the woman exclaimed after another successful evasion.

"Liar! Do you honestly expect us to believe that?" a Destroyed Duke roared back. His desire to kill her was greater than ever.

"If I was the traitor, why would I make it so obvious?" The woman smiled and spread her arms cockily. She did not dodge. Instead, she brought a light to the tip of her finger, and she aimed it at the Destroyed Duke.

The Destroyed Duke moved his six arms and fired three separate powers. He used a tri-colored godlight to counter her attack.

But her godlight broke through the tri-colored godlight. It branded the Destroyed Duke with a weird mark. The Destroyed Duke was suddenly turned into a miniature version of himself. His flesh and bones were all compressed and condensed together. The three-meter-tall body was turned into little more than a sugar cube.

"A mark of the Very High! You are of the Very High!" Everyone's faces went white. Those who had been going for the woman now stopped. They quickly began to scramble backward.

Dia Robber seemed to realize something. He looked towards where Toxic Dragon Old Six had been, but the Dragon was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Toxic Dragon Old Six?" Dia Robber asked one of the other Dragons.

"I don't know… He was here, though…" The Dragons felt that something was very amiss.

Now, all the races started to realize that the woman was associated with the Very High. They knew of her marking ability. It was a Very High skill. The Very High certainly couldn't have been the traitor.

But Toxic Dragon Old Six had definitely been hit by a Destroyed power. If the power hadn't come from the woman, then he really must have used it on himself.

Toxic Dragon Old Six was a Dragon, though. He couldn't have used a Destroyed power on his own, which meant he had to have been the traitor. He had stolen the Destroyed Bible.

But now, he was gone. He had vanished amidst the chaos, and no one knew where he had gone. Perhaps he had even fled Steel City.

Dia Robber looked at the Feather woman and bowed. "Excuse our most impolite rudeness. We will issue a proper and formal apology at a later date. Can you please tell us which direction the traitor went?"

The fake Toxic Dragon Old Six had framed her. She must have seen where he went.

"When you guys attacked me, he escaped that way." The woman coldly pointed towards the Steel City gate.

Without a moment of hesitation, everyone ran in that direction. He had left a trail as he ran, and they tracked him into some mountains.

The woman watched impassively as everyone left. They wanted to find the traitor, but they also wanted to escape her wrath with all haste. The thought that they had all attacked one of the Very High had given them massive chills. They sincerely hoped she'd be forgiving.

The woman did not seek revenge, though. Instead, she flew up into the skies.

What happened in Steel City was watched by the ships. They saw when the woman revealed herself as one of the Very High, and so no one stopped her from leaving Planet Sodi.

The universe's number one race: the mysterious Very High. They were the strongest and most mysterious race. Even the Extreme King and Ancient God races were afraid of them.

When the Very High mark appeared, bad things tended to follow. This had happened many times through the ages, and many races had been destroyed by the Very High, wiped from the annals of history.

Dia Robber and his followers searched the mountains up and down, and eventually, they found the fake Dragon Six and engaged him.

"Are you guys blind? Why would I be the traitor? Don't you know that the fox race is only comprised of women? They become weaker if they turn into males. Do I look like a f*cking woman?" Toxic Dragon Old Six shouted as he fought back.

Dia Robber saw that the man's Toxic Dragon Evilbreaker powers were real. As he fought, he asked, "What are you doing, then? Why are you running if you aren't the traitor?"

"I'm not running! I'm f*cking injured, and I'm looking for a place to heal!" Toxic Dragon Old Six shouted angrily.

"You say you are Toxic Dragon Old Six, yes? How can you prove your identity?" Kahn asked. Something seemed wrong about this whole situation.

Toxic Dragon Old Six's body then seemed to turn inside out. His body was covered with toxic scales, and he looked like a humanoid-but-toxic dragon. He breathed out toxic gas and said, "No matter how strong a fox lady might be, she wouldn't be able to imitate a xenogeneic toxic dragon body."

"Oh no!" Dia Robber looked horrified. When he returned to Steel City, the Very High woman was gone.

Chapter 2185 Taking the Bible

A small business ship was flying through the expanse of space, following a designated route. Suddenly, the crew saw a woman approaching their vessel. The ship came to a stop and opened its doors to let her in.

The woman quickly entered the ship, and not long after, she was given a private room.

Inside that room, the Feather woman began to change her form. Her Feather features started to fade away. A white tail grew from her backside, and her body became curvier than ever. Her face underwent a change, too, becoming sharp and refined.

The beautiful woman then pulled a cubic object out of her pocket. It was the Very High mark that had manifested when she made it look like she had condensed a Destroyed.

The woman threw the Very High mark on the floor, and the Very High mark started to shake. It rattled around for a while until a pang noise sounded. A fox-like woman with fox ears emerged. She looked exactly the same as the other beautiful woman, save for the fact that she was quite a bit younger.

The fox woman scratched her bum and then got up. She snickered happily. "Sister, we made it! We managed to fool all of those people."

If Dia Robber had been there, he would have been very angry. Killing the Destroyed Duke with a Very High mark had been merely a ruse. The shapeshifting foxes had outwitted everyone with their illusions.

It was a shame that the King class elites had been stuck outside the Six Star xenogeneic space. If they had been able to observe the foxes' tricks with their own eyes, they'd have known what was up.

But the King class elites were forced to watch from a distance. The two fox sisters had counted on that, putting on a show that would only fool Dukes and Marquises.

"I told you. All those races might pretend to be tough sh*t around us, but they grovel like worms before the Very High. Seeing the Very High mark nearly scared them to death. They didn't dare stay long enough to find out the truth." Big sister Bai Lin smiled.

Little sister Bai Fu pulled out her pink tongue and said, "Luckily, those guys were restricting each other and thought it best not to allow the King class sorts to enter the Six Star xenogeneic space. Had this not been the case, we wouldn't have been able to fool them. So, what do we do next?"

"Let's become Ipo. We can head to Planet Ipo, then visit the Dragon after that…" Bai Lin trailed off and her eyes widened. There was a punch headed for them. It shot their way like a laser, destroying the ship in the process.

White light covered the two sisters as they escaped from the ship. A proud-looking woman hovered in space near the wreckage, looking at them coldly.

When the fox sisters saw the woman, they looked even more frightened. It was the powerful woman they had seen inside the Steel City restaurant.

They had never expected that the woman would manage to escape the locked-down planet, pursue them, and catch up with them before they got too far away from the system.

"Give me the Destroyed Bible," the woman said flatly, staring at the sisters.

"I don't have a clue what you are talking about. How could we have the Destroyed Bible?" Bai Lin laughed.

The woman's expression did not change. She just remained where she was, staring at them. Slowly, she said, "You and Toxic Dragon Old Six performed well. But now I've caught you, and I won't allow you to deliver the Destroyed Bible to the Dragon. I will give you one last chance to hand it over."

That woman then raised her fist. An overbearing power began to gather around it.

"You are strong, but you are alone. There's no guarantee you can catch up with us, either." Bai Lin frowned.

"Why don't you test that theory?" The woman launched her fist right at Bai Lin.

Bai Lin and Bai Fu moved, and their bodies seemed to disappear in the black of space. They soon realized that no matter how they attempted to evade that strike, they wouldn't be able to escape the punch.

It was as if the woman's fist was coming from every direction at once. They were locked in. And while they could often survive dangerous situations by changing their race to hide in place sight, that skill wouldn't help them in this situation. This punch wasn't something they could avoid.

Pang!

Bai Lin and Bai Fu amassed and combined their power to fight back against that incoming punch, but they both ended up being hit. They were launched through space, with trails of blood drifting away from them. They crashed into an asteroid, and the asteroid broke into fragments.

Their amazing talents had allowed them to survive many attacks from a wide array of Dukes, but they weren't Dukes themselves. They had the power of Marquises.

Bai Lin recovered from the blow and gritted her teeth. Her chest began to flicker with a formation of black light. The black light swept down to her fist, and she flashed forward to punch the enigmatic woman.

If the Destroyed had been there, they would have identified the black light as a power of the Destroyed Bible. No one could have guessed how Bai Lin was using her shapeshifting to cast the Destroyed Bible's power, though.

Pang!

Despite the power of her attack, Bai Lin was sent flying away again. She curled slightly in pain after using the Bible, and her expression seemed stunned. "Is this… Did you just throw an Extreme King Punch?"

The woman was not inclined to answer, and so she raised her fist once more.

Bai Lin clenched her jaw again, then coughed from deep in her chest. She spat out a black light, which floated through space near her enemy.

"That's for you," Bai Lin sneered. She started pulling Bai Fu away from the area. "Let's go."

The Extreme King woman frowned as the two flew off. Their power was only average, but they were very quick. The Extreme King woman seemed hesitant, but she moved over to examine the black light.

The black light before her was actually a black stone book. It looked old, and the cover was adorned with a triangular symbol. There was nothing else remarkable about it. It was crude and worn, and it looked like the work of an older race.

Most people wouldn't have known that the old stone book was actually the prestigious Destroyed Bible.

The Extreme King woman knew what the object was the moment she saw it, though. Although her race was one of the most important and powerful in the universe, the Extreme King's resources were actually quite limited. Deified treasures like the Destroyed Bible were difficult to come by.

Securing the Destroyed Bible was the woman's first priority. After that, she would go and finish off the two fox sisters.

The woman had almost touched the Destroyed Bible when she stopped. She frowned and looked at the Bible. It wasn't actually floating in space as she had originally thought.

"Come out!" The woman stared at the Bible coldly.

In response to her shout, a shadow appeared right next to the Bible. Then a gold-armored hand reached out and grabbed the book.

Chapter 2186 A Punch and a Punch

"Dollar?" The woman recognized the person hovering in front of her.

The Extreme King were quite full of themselves, and since they always thought themselves superior to others, they didn't participate in the Geno Being Scroll. They did, however, keenly watch the fights that unfolded there.

That was especially true of the Marquise fights. The woman had watched each and every one of them. She recognized the gold armor Han Sen was wearing.

"I will be keeping this. You can go now," Han Sen stated, turning the Destroyed Bible over in his hands.

He had used Little Invisible to hide himself so he could follow Bai Lin, but he had waited until now to make a move.

He hadn't wanted to take action while they were inside Six Star xenogeneic space, but as he followed the fox sisters, he noticed the Extreme King woman was pursuing them as well.

This would probably be his best opportunity to steal the Destroyed Bible while pinning the crime on the Extreme King woman.

Since the fox sisters had made their escape, everyone would soon learn that the Destroyed Bible had been stolen by the Extreme King. No one would believe that someone had actually confronted one of the Extreme King and stolen it back, so Han Sen would likely be safe from accusations.

Even if people believed that Dollar ultimately claimed it, that wouldn't matter. No one had a clue who Dollar really was. So, Han Sen was safe.

He originally planned to launch a sneak attack, but the woman had discovered his presence before he had the chance to. That surprised him.

"In the eyes of the Extreme King, achieving first place in the Marquise Geno Being Scroll is nothing more than a joke," the woman said cockily, with a snarky tilt of her head.

With no hesitation, she threw a punch towards Han Sen. The incoming strike was far harder than the one he had seen before.

The space around him seemed to get compressed by the overwhelming force of that punch. Spacetime itself looked like it was going to freeze and shatter.

Although she pretended that Dollar was beneath her notice, after seeing Dollar fighting Evil Eye and Lone Bamboo, she knew he wasn't a foe to be underestimated. She was well-aware that he would be a difficult foe, so she poured all of her strength and power into that punch.

Seeing the woman's punch coming for him, Han Sen used Super Spank with his left hand.

Pang!

When their fists collided, the force of the Extreme King's punch disintegrated into little more than dust and echoes. The woman's face paled, and she retreated with haste.

But it was still too late. Her gauntlet had shattered, and the disintegrating power continued up into the rest of her armor. All she wore was turned to dust. She was left completely naked.

The Extreme King woman's implacable face heated with embarrassment. She summoned another set of armor to clothe herself, but by the time she turned back to look for her opponent, Dollar was gone.

"Dollar, I'm going to kill you." The Extreme King woman was very angry, and her teeth gnashed. Try as she might, though, she was not going to find Dollar that day.

Han Sen had returned the punch he was owed. She had sent Han Sen sprawling on Planet Blade, and he had destroyed her armor. He was only getting what he was due; they were even now.

Han Sen headed to the Six Star xenogeneic space. He needed to return and let everyone know that the real Han Sen was still there. That way, he could eventually leave without raising any more suspicions.

And in regards to the Extreme King woman, he had no interest in killing her. He headed back to the Six Star system immediately to avoid wasting any more time with her.

After all, as long as she was left alive, Han Sen could frame her for the theft. If she was killed, that would be more difficult. The Destroyed wouldn't be the only ones investigating her death; the rest of the Extreme King would also want to know what had happened. Having them descend on the investigation would be bad.

Han Sen returned to Six Star xenogeneic space and met up with Little Angel.

All of the races participating in the search had confirmed that the escaped woman was a shapeshifting fox. There was still hope, however. The lockdown on the Six Star xenogeneic space was yet to be lifted' so Kings finally went in to look around for themselves.

But they quickly came to the conclusion that the shapeshifting fox had managed to escape successfully. Two days later, when all was done, the lockdown on the Six Star xenogeneic space was lifted. Han Sen then took his companions back to Narrow Moon.

In the base on Planet Eclipse, in a secret room, Han Sen happily ran his finger along the spine of the Destroyed Bible.

"A deified treasure. That was a pretty good gain."

After a while, though, Han Sen's joy turned to frustration. No matter what he tried, he couldn't unlock the Bible or make use of its power.

Han Sen combined his light and dark powers, but even so, he made no progress in casting the powers of the Bible.

Han Sen couldn't even open the d*mned book or get a glimpse of its contents.

Han Sen tried a myriad of different elements, but nothing seemed to work.

So, Han Sen used his Dongxuan Aura and Purple Eye Butterfly to inspect the Bible. After a time of careful observation, Han Sen noticed that it was actually created through a combination of light, dark, and chaos powers.

"Genes are insufficient; cannot absorb deified gene."

Han Sen kept hearing that announcement, telling him he was unable to absorb it. The Destroyed Bible was a deified xenogeneic gene, so he couldn't absorb it since he was still just a Marquise. It was the same as with the Sun Gold Bird.

"I can't eat it, and neither can I make use of it. It's useless in my hands, even though it is deified. Unless I make it up to the class of deified, it can only be cast with light, dark, and chaos powers. Light and dark powers are already hard enough to simulate, and I can't simulate chaos powers at all. Unless I learn all three and combine them well, I won't be able to tap into its power." After thinking about it for a while, Han Sen decided to give it up.

Han Meng'er pushed open the secret door and stuck her head in, then pointed at the book. "Father, can I have this book?"

"You want to have a look?" Han Sen turned to Han Meng'er with some surprise. She had never asked for anything before.

Han Meng'er nodded. She looked at the Destroyed Bible and said, "That book seems to resonate with a power that is familiar to me somehow."

Han Sen handed Han Meng'er the Destroyed Bible and thought to himself, "It is possible, I suppose. Meng'er's blood is complicated. But I do remember the Sacred leader possessing a light power. Her mother had the power of death, and my blood…"

As Han Sen mulled all of this over, Han Meng'er took the Destroyed Bible. The book had shown no response while Han Sen held it, but it suddenly caught fire when she touched it. Flames wreathed the stone book, then spread to consume Han Meng'er's entire body.

Three different lights began to shine from the stone book's triangle. The white was light power, the black was dark power, and the grey was clearly chaos power. Each color correlated with a specific element.

Chapter 2187 Watching the Destroyed Inheritance

The three lights of the triangle merged to become a swirling grey color. When you looked at the symbol from one side, the grey color shifted to black, and if you looked from the other side, the grey turned white.

The triangle seemed to pulse with that mystic grey. The color stained Han Meng'er's power grey, as well.

Han Sen could sense a frightening presence radiating from the power, and it seemed as if all that energy was going to explode.

Han Meng'er held the Bible comfortably in one hand, as if she hadn't noticed any of the power surging around her. Her other hand flicked through the Bible's pages. From what Han Sen could see, there were many images and sections of text within. It was like he was watching a 3D movie flicker past on the pages.

Although Han Sen couldn't open the book himself, he had no trouble seeing the book's content now that someone else had opened it.

The images were so impressive that they made Han Sen feel like he was watching a supernova. The universe began; the universe was destroyed. Life was started; life was ended.

"Born from the Destroyed. Live for the Destroyed. Survival is the Destroyed." Han Sen examined the first line of the Destroyed Bible.

The Destroyed Bible was a deified treasure, a holy book of the Destroyed race. It recorded the practices of their alpha's geno arts, his experiences, and the understandings he had come to throughout his entire lifetime.

As Han Sen read the Destroyed Bible, it was like he could hear the Destroyed Alpha explaining geno arts. He could see the true meaning of it all.

Han Sen was delighted. Destroyed geno arts required the user to possess all three powers, but Han Sen did not have chaos power. Because of this, he lacked the ability to cast Destroyed powers.

But the Destroyed Alpha's explanations clarified a whole host of things and filled Han Sen with inspiration. He was able to understand Break Six Skies much more deeply because of it.

The Destroyed were a part of the Breakskies, and they even claimed to be the royalty of that ancient race. No matter what the case might have been, the geno arts the Destroyed alpha left behind had a connection with Break Six Skies.

The things Han Sen had learned from the Destroyed geno arts gave him a vat of additional knowledge that he could apply to Break Six Skies.

Han Sen had been stuck in the first tier of Break Six Skies. Now he was able to understand more. Proficiency with the geno art allowed access to the second tier. And as he learned more, he would be able to keep climbing.

Break Six Skies was not a technique that could be practiced to gain greater strength. It forced a student to teach themselves to utilize their powers more effectively. However, progressing with the art required a lot of understanding and knowledge.

As he studied Break Six Skies, Han Sen sometimes felt like an ancient swordsman trying to understand how bombs were made.

The geno art required understanding rather than raw strength. If a student understood how the geno art's powers worked, then they could control the power and unleash its full potential. And that was more than enough.

Whether the practitioner was a Baron or a deified elite, they could still access all tiers of Break Six Skies. The level of power output would be the only difference between the skill being used by someone weak and someone strong; the techniques themselves would remain unchanged.

Low level Nobles did not really understand that power, though. It was difficult for them to make use of Break Six Skies.

Han Sen was still in the beginning phases of learning these techniques. Or at least, he had been. By reading the Destroyed Bible, he was able to understand more about how its power worked. Break Six Skies improved greatly in a short amount of time.

By merely watching as Han Meng'er flipped through the Destroyed Bible, Han Sen's Break Six Skies was able to progress and reach the third tier.

As the content of the Destroyed Bible was revealed, the grey power seeped into Han Meng'er's body. She stared at the Destroyed Bible with an unreadable expression. The Destroyed Bible began to morph in her hands. Not long after, the Destroyed Bible had transformed into a grey arrow. The grey Destroyed power sank into her hands and subsided.

If Han Sen hadn't actually watched it happen, he never would have believed that the stone arrow she now possessed was actually the Destroyed Bible. He couldn't detect even a trace of Destroyed power radiating from it.

Han Meng'er lifted the Destroyed Bible and looked at Han Sen. "Father, thank you very much for this arrow."

"Oh, I'm glad you like it," Han Sen stumbled. Luckily, Han Meng'er was rather naive, so she didn't notice his awkwardness over the whole affair.

Han Sen was on the third tier of Break Six Skies, and as he realized that, he quickly tried to recall everything he had seen from the Destroyed Bible. If he had any more breakthroughs, that would be the greatest reward.

Aside from Super Spank, Break Six Skies was the strongest geno art Han Sen had in his arsenal. When he wasn't using his Dollar identity, Break Six Skies was effective enough as a killing power to be depended on.

It was a shame that Break Six Skies was so powerful, though. If he used it in close-quarter combat, there was every chance he could blow himself up.

It was fortunate that Spell provided him with three different weapons. Their range meant that they were the perfect tools to pair with Break Six Skies.

"Meng'er, stay with me for a little while. I have a geno art I would like to teach you." If Han Sen could teach her Break Six Skies, then she could have those destructive powers as well.

Although many problems could not be solved through violence, they still needed to be able to unleash violence and overwhelm any force that happened to be aimed at them.

So, Han Sen spent some time teaching his daughter. When he was done, he went to Cold Palace to accept the benefits of being the Guardian. Jadeskin leveled up quickly. It would definitely reach Duke in two years.

It was difficult to level up any geno art from Marquise to Duke. Even if there was an abundance of resources available, it would still take a while. Higher races could usually become Dukes within the space often years. If a race was of poor quality, though, they could end up taking an entire century.

Han Sen was only progressing so quickly because he could absorb the deified toad's force of ice. Such an opportunity was extremely rare.

Han Sen wasn't too worried about his Jadeskin, but he was concerned about how things would go with The Story of Genes. There were no special resources for him to consume, so all he could do was slowly practice it by himself. And despite his efforts, he couldn't feel The Story of Genes improving.

Han Sen paid attention to what happened after the Destroyed Bible incident. And just as he thought, the searching races eventually found those shapeshifting foxes and confirmed that the Destroyed Bible had been taken by one of the Extreme King. After learning that, no one dared to continue the investigation. Even the Destroyed weren't brave enough to ask the Extreme King for the Bible.

Han Sen thought there might be some trouble, but the entire matter just came to an end. It was as if the Destroyed came to terms with the loss of their deified artifact, and that was that.

"It looks like I underestimated the effect the Extreme King have on people. They don't even dare bark." Han Sen rolled his eyes.

It looked like that unlucky Extreme King woman had become the perfect scapegoat for the affair. But Han Sen knew he had to be extra careful to avoid giving the Extreme King any hint that Han Sen was actually Dollar.

Chapter 2188 Dive Heart Practice

A year passed.

Over the course of that year, Han Sen spent a lot of time practicing Jadeskin. He wanted to get that up to the rank of Duke first and foremost. At that point, he would be able to absorb Duke genes. With one hundred Duke genes for a base, he'd be able to level up his other geno arts a little faster.

As the year went by, Han Sen also came up with excuses to enlist more companions from the sanctuaries.

From the humans, he brought over Ning Yue, Lin Feng, Tang Zhenliu, Qin Xuan, Huangfu Jing, Ji Qing, and Han Yan. There were also many super creatures and spirits that made the jump. Planet Eclipse did not have much in the way of high-class resources, but there were many xenogeneics. After he brought people to the geno universe, raising them to Marquise was fairly easy.

Everyone's super god body was different, so Han Sen's personal experience might not translate well to each of them. They all had to discover their own paths; Han Sen only gave them the opportunity to do so.

Han Sen brought such large numbers of people because he knew how powerful the many races were. There was a multitude of powerful forces in the geno universe.

Groups such as Sky Palace, the Dragon, and the Destroyed were not to be taken lightly. They were all very strong factions.

Even the deified Kong Fei had to pay a high price to knock the Feathers down a few pegs, and they weren't even in the top hundred. The Feathers didn't have anyone deified either. Han Sen would require as many elites as he could enlist if he wished to light his own lantern in the future.

There was no doubting their loyalties, either. In the Alliance, they were all allies. And Han Sen knew them personally. Even the spirits and creatures he brought over wouldn't want to sell out humans.

Even so, Han Sen took a few precautionary measures so that, in the event someone actually did try to betray him, he could deal with the situation quickly.

Han Sen's sister Han Yan was very talented. She was like Han Sen in many ways, but the development of her powers was still quite different. That was because she practiced with the Falsified Sky Sutra and the Asura Sutra. She was on a different path than he was.

Han Sen knew her super god body was called King Release Sky. It was different from Han Sen's own super king spirit body. Not many people had the same super god body as each other.

People practiced differently than one another based on their super god bodies. Some of the differences were obvious, and some might take years to be revealed.

Super god bodies were usually secret, though. And Han Sen only asked Han Yan about hers because she was his sister. He hadn't asked for the names or details of anyone else's body.

Every human he brought over was a genius of their race, though. With their super god bodies, their talents wouldn't be far off those of the higher races. That meant they would gain rank quickly.

With the resources available on Planet Eclipse, many of the people he had brought over managed to reach the rank of Earl within that single year.

Aside from Ji Qing and Han Yan, the others were keen to explore and see more of what lay beyond that entry point to the geno universe. And this was something Han Sen agreed to. They all wanted different things for their lives, and it wasn't as if they needed to be babysat. Planet Eclipse was only going to limit their development. They would have to explore and obtain their own resources if they really wished to grow.

Han Sen didn't want to allow Han Yan to explore, however. She repeatedly asked him to let her travel, but he kept preventing her from leaving. If something happened to her, his parents would murder him.

But Han Yan wasn't the sort to give up easily, and eventually, Han Sen conceded and said he'd give her a recommendation at Sky Palace. She agreed to that happily enough, at least.

Ji Qing was Ji Yanran's cousin. By extension, she was Han Sen's little cousin-in-law. And the Ji family had focused quite a bit of their time and attention on her. Ji Yanran told him to take good care of her, as well, and not permit her to take any unnecessary risks.

Fortunately, Ji Qing wasn't too keen on the prospect of exploring. When Han Sen brought up the subject, she smiled at him. "I have to stay next to you and keep an eye on you for Yanran. Otherwise, who knows what you'll get up to, all alone here in this geno universe? If it was something bad, I'd feel bad for Yanran."

"I have Bao'er as a spy. Why would I dare to do anything inappropriate?" Han Sen touched Bao'er's face.

"You wouldn't dare? That must mean you thought about it, but you didn't…" Ji Qing smiled at Han Sen.

Han Sen shrugged his shoulders. "You'll be here, and you can't go back. Even if I have such thoughts, you won't be able to tell her."

Ji Qing looked surprised, and Han Sen left.

Han Sen went to Cold Palace. By guarding the door, he was able to watch the tadpoles slowly become little toads. They absorbed the powers of the moons released by the deified toad, which made Han Sen quite jealous.

The deified toad could use its power to produce moons to level up its babies, but Han Sen couldn't.

Little Angel and Little Silver were already Marquises. If they were unable to locate high-class resources, it would be much harder for them to level up. In the geno universe, if you were not King class, you weren't really considered strong.

That was why Xi Qing King and Ning Yue went exploring often. King class elites were the true powers of the geno universe.

As the moonlight shone down on the baby toads, Han Sen put down the Cold Palace guardian tablet and left the stone porch so he could soak in the power of the moonlight and the ice.

After a year of absorbing icy powers and refining moonlight, Jadeskin might not have reached Duke, but he did understand a lot more about the ice powers and the moon powers. He was also more familiar with the deified toad's strength now.

Even without the protection of the Cold Palace guardian tablet, Han Sen wasn't frozen by the deified toad's cold powers anymore. It was very cold, of course, but he could endure it.

Ordinary Marquises and Dukes couldn't have withstood that level of cold.

Han Sen absorbed much of the deified toad's ice powers and moon powers over time, and that was how he was able to build up his resistance to the ice. His body was very strong, and his Jadeskin power was connected to the deified toad. They were very closely aligned.

The deified toad spat out a moon atop the waterfall, and then looked at Han Sen. Its sudden attention made Han Sen jump, but the toad did not look hostile. In fact, it looked surprised.

After a while, the toad turned around and continued spitting out moon powers.

The toad didn't seem to mind his presence, and that made Han Sen happy. He walked closer to the waterfall. He did not follow the little toads up it, but even that proximity was enough for him to absorb more moon powers and cold powers.

The deified toad showed no desire to kick Han Sen away, either. And when the moon powers were gone, the deified toad took the little toads down to the pool.

The little toads left the water and went up the banks, and then they all proceeded to enter the cave in the side of the stone house. They saw Han Sen standing off to the side. Perhaps it was because he did not have the guardian tablet, but the little toads sensed him and approached him.

Chapter 2189 Bad News

The little toads gathered around him, and they seemed to think he was one of them. The thought made Han Sen's heart sink, though, and he found himself thinking, "I'm not some dirty toad!"

After that day, Han Sen continued coming back to absorb cold and moon powers twice every month. He didn't need the Cold Palace guardian tablet anymore, and the big toad allowed him to follow the toad family to the waterfall. He was able to absorb the moon powers right next to the deified toad.

Han Sen's Jadeskin grew stronger far faster. Han Sen initially thought it might need another year to reach Duke rank, but it was on the precipice of that change already. He believed that if he continued this steady absorption of cold and moon powers, he'd make it to Duke in three months.

When Jadeskin did become Duke, though, he'd have to track down a source of high-quality resources for himself. He couldn't rely solely on Planet Eclipse.

It was a good place for early practice, but he couldn't develop fully if he remained stuck there.

On that fifteenth of the month, when Han Sen was done guarding the door, he planned to leave Planet Blade and return to Planet Eclipse. But when he reached Yisha's palace, two Rebate butlers approached, alongside Snowbird Duke.Read latest chapters at l

"Han Sen, Moon Wheel King is looking for you. Please follow us to Full Moon Hall," said a butler, his face expressionless.

"Why is Moon Wheel King looking for me?" Han Sen asked with a frown.

Full Moon Palace was a place to hold discussions. Only the Kings of Narrow Moon were allowed to debate there. It was very rare for Moon Wheel King to summon a Marquise for an audience in Full Moon Hall.

"You will know when you get there, won't you?" another butler said coldly.

Han Sen looked at Snowbird Duke. She was behaving strangely, holding herself a little more rigidly than usual. He did not say anything, but he just nodded to her.

"Moon Wheel King and the other Kings are waiting for you. Let's go," the butler told him, apparently in a rush.

Han Sen followed them to Full Moon Hall. On the ship there, Han Sen got to thinking, "Something bad must have happened to Yisha. Otherwise, there's no way I'd be called to the Full Moon Office. If something has happened to her, then my days here will be over. Things might be coming to an end."

Han Sen knew that the only other person of rank in Narrow Moon who liked him was Black-Moon King.

The other Kings were not very keen on him, despite being Yisha's student. After all, Han Sen was not one of the Rebate. And he had consumed many of their resources. He was just fortunate that the Rebate didn't flat-out hate him.

If Han Sen had been able to practice really quickly, perhaps the Kings would have viewed him differently. However, leveling up took Han Sen an excruciatingly long time. They did not think Han Sen would ever reach King, let alone become deified. This was one of the primary reasons they didn't think too highly of him.

To them, his guardianship was just another example of his deficiency. If the post had been given to another talented Marquise, that person would definitely have become a Duke after so much time. No change had been observed with Han Sen, though. No change for him meant no gain for them.

Han Sen was backed by Yisha, but if she was gone, then the Rebate wouldn't waste more resources on an outsider like him.Read latest chapters at l.

"The Rebate is too small of a faction. It is a higher race that used to be a slave race. They aren't selfless, either. Only Yisha was willing to help me. What a shame this is!" Han Sen vented silently. He knew what was going to happen on this trip.

When Han Sen reached the Full Moon Office, everyone was sitting around a large table within.

Almost all of the Narrow Moon Kings were present. Moon Wheel King was in the middle. Black-Moon King, Shadow King, Flower King, Night River King, and the other Kings sat next to him. The table resembled a half-moon, and as Han Sen walked in, they all turned their attention to him.

"Greetings to all the Kings." After Han Sen bowed to each of them, he stood where he was without displaying any emotions.

Moon Wheel King sighed and told Han Sen, "Yesterday, the Extreme King delivered some news to us. Your teacher, on her venture into the chaos system, was killed. Not even her bones remain. We are going to build a mausoleum in her honor. You were her only student, and so there are many things we must now do together."

"I will do whatever I am able to. May I ask how my master was killed?" Han Sen bowed, feeling very strange about this.

In truth, Yisha was Han Sen's enemy. He had only become her student as a pretense, and Yisha seemed to have accepted him as a student for reasons of her own, not because she was being altruistic.

But in all the time they had spent together, Yisha had treated him nicely. She had provided him with many opportunities. Without those opportunities, He might have spent ten years wandering around, and he wouldn't have achieved half of what he had right now.

So, his feelings towards Yisha were very conflicted. Hearing she had died, an odd pang rolled through him. He didn't really know what he was feeling.

"According to the Extreme King ambassador, she joined the siege against a deified xenogeneic. She was swallowed by it, and so nothing of her remains," Moon Wheel King said with a sigh.

Moon Wheel King's sigh was not fake. It wouldn't be easy for the Rebate to raise a half-deified warrior. And Yisha had been their best hope of gaining a fully deified Rebate.

Losing Yisha was a big blow to their race.

If Yisha had not gone to the Extreme King, though, she wouldn't have been able to become deified by herself. If she remained in Narrow Moon, she'd have been half-deified forever.

For someone like Yisha, stopping there would have been worse than death.

Han Sen stayed silent after hearing about her death. Being killed by a deified xenogeneic, without so much as a bone being left behind, was something of a clean way to go out. That was very much like her own style.

When Moon Wheel King lapsed into silence, Night River spoke. "After sorting out Knife Queen's mausoleum, there will still be some things I will need you to do. You are her only student, so there are some legacy matters and items you will have to take over. I will confirm them, and later give them to you."

Han Sen knew that this was the primary point. He didn't know how much of a legacy the Rebate would be willing to leave him with.

Han Sen was afraid he wouldn't have a say in these matters. Night River King surely didn't want to give him anything, and it was definitely going to be a one-sided decision.

Han Sen had expected this, though, so he didn't say anything. He listened to what he was told, and then he left Full Moon Office. He went to sort out her funeral arrangements.

"The Extreme King have sent the reward she was owed for the fight. It should be given to Han Sen…" Black-Moon King said, but before he could finish, Night River King interrupted him.

"Han Sen isn't one of the Rebate, have you forgotten? He isn't qualified to accept it. We have discussed this already. Say no more," Night River King said firmly.

Chapter 2190 Taking the Legacy

Yisha had been a very special person to the Rebate, so there was no need to worry about the funeral too much. Narrow Moon performed the services very well, and all Han Sen had to do was cooperate with their rituals.

Yisha's death impacted the Rebate a great deal. It affected them deeply, in a variety of ways.

As one of the two highest ranked individuals of the Rebate, Yisha's death made them far weaker. It also altered the distribution of benefits and resources that various important Rebate received.

Due to these changes, the biggest negative ended up impacting Yisha's student Han Sen.

When Han Sen went to Night River King to confirm what of Yisha's legacy would be left to him, he found himself frowning continually.

Night River King provided Han Sen with a list, and there were very few items on that roster with any actual value. Furthermore, Yisha's home planet of Planet Blade was taken by the elders.

Han Sen was only allowed to claim Yisha's personal items and belongings. Having expected this treatment, though, Han Sen was prepared to accept the verdict in silence. Now that Yisha was gone, Han Sen was back to being a proper outsider, and the Rebate wouldn't be willing to give anything of theirs to someone like him.

"Knife was the Cold Palace guardian, but you replaced her. And now that she is dead, it is down to us to select a new guardian for Cold Palace. A real one. Thanks for your help in the meantime, but you can now give us back the tablet. And this is the list featuring all her legacy items you may claim. You will need to sign it," Night River King said coldly, peering right at Han Sen.

Night River King wanted the Cold Palace guardian's position. This time, things were going more his way. He would indeed become the guardian in Han Sen's stead.

Han Sen met Night River King's eyes and held out the guardian tablet.

Night River King stared at the guardian tablet as it was passed toward him, and his eyes sparkled. The geno art he practiced was aligned quite well with the boons that the deified toad could impart. He'd be able to use the ice and moon powers of the deified toad to become half-deified in only a few centuries.

"I can give you the tablet, and I will sign the form as you asked, but I have one request to make." Han Sen did not pass the tablet to Night River King just yet. As he spoke, he held it tightly.

"This is a decision from the Full Moon Office. You aren't out shopping, kid. You can't haggle with me for a better deal," Night River King said emotionlessly.

Han Sen ignored Night River King's jab, and while fiddling with the tablet, he said, "Planet Blade is where my master used to live. I hope I will be able to visit Planet Blade during the times that I miss her. I would like permission to access Planet Blade whenever I fancy."

"I cannot permit this. Planet Blade belongs to the elders, and this is known to the public of Narrow Moon. People cannot just go there willy-nilly. Not even I can go there without proper permission," Night River King said seriously.

Night River King certainly could have provided Han Sen access to the planet, but he didn't want to help Han Sen in any way.

Han Sen did not speak. He merely continued to play with the tablet. He didn't sign the paper, either. All he did was smile at Night River King.

Night River King frowned and retreated into thought for a moment. "Okay, fine. I will help. I will go and talk to the elders on your behalf, and I will see if I can get you permission."

"I don't need you to talk. I need you to add that permission onto this list." Han Sen stared at Night River King icily as he spoke.

"That is impossible. Don't push me too far now," Night River King growled.

"Without that permission added to this list, you can find someone else to sign it. But you won't see my name on it," Han Sen said simply.

Night River King looked gloomy, but he didn't look mad just yet. He turned to Han Sen and said, "You can only enter Planet Blade. You cannot touch anything there, then."

Night River King didn't want to cause any trouble for himself. After all, he and the elders had already taken many things that, by all rights, should have now belonged to Han Sen. If Han Sen didn't sign the agreement, that unfairness would get way too much exposure.

"I only miss her. I do not want to take anything from there," Han Sen said.

Night River King amended the list for Han Sen without saying a word. He provided Han Sen with permission to access Planet Blade freely. When he was finished, Han Sen signed it. He confirmed his acceptance of the measly legacy, and then he passed the tablet to Night River King.

Han Sen didn't look at the list. Night River King would only have given him whatever the Rebate were willing to part with. They had taken everything they wanted, and they had left what they didn't. There was no point in looking at the stuff.

Seeing Han Sen packing up Yisha's things, Night River King laughed inside and thought to himself, "What is the point to get permission to go to Planet Blade? You will never receive any more resources from the Rebate."

Han Sen took Yisha's legacy items back to Planet Eclipse with him. He had gained many treasures, but not a single one of them was King class. The highest were two Duke treasures that weren't even useful to him.

The other things were worth nothing, and they would not benefit him in the least, either.

"Is that all she possessed as a half-deified being?" Han Sen laughed darkly. He thought the whole of Narrow Moon must have looted Yisha's warehouse already. They had only left him with the meaningless scrap.

Even so, there was nothing Han Sen could do about it. The only person that could back him up was gone, so there was no way he'd ever get his hands on those things.

Yisha seemed to have known that, though. And that was why she told Han Sen to let go.

"I will let go, only if I should. But I will not let go of anything that belongs to me by right." Han Sen smiled.

Han Sen put the items in storage in his warehouse on Planet Eclipse. He took out the few useful items, some of which were things Yisha always made use of.

Yisha's death had crushed the Rebate, but people like Night River King had benefitted a great deal from her passing. They were probably happy about what had happened.

"Brother-in-law, are we staying here in Narrow Moon?" Ji Qing asked Han Sen.

"Of course we are. Planet Eclipse has a fair amount of resources, and if we were to leave, we'd be allowing others to benefit." Han Sen smiled

"But Night River King and the others keep trying to undermine you. The coming days on Planet Eclipse won't go well for you," Ji Qing said.

"It is hard to say who will have a difficult time and who will not," Han Sen murmured, squinting his eyes in thought.

Han Sen did not plan on leaving Narrow Moon. He didn't like the idea of being kicked out; he'd leave on his own terms.

The fifteenth day of the month rolled around, and Night River King went to Cold Palace for the first time since accepting the position of Cold Palace guardian. He merrily trekked up to the stone house and settled himself on the porch as the Cold Palace guardian.

"With this Cold Palace guardian position, I might become half-deified in a mere two centuries. I will be able to replace Knife in Narrow Moon." Night River King grinned at the thought. He held the Cold Palace guardian tablet so tightly that his hands began to shake. He had waited for this opportunity for so long.

Time passed, and midnight came. Night River King looked at the stone door, waiting for the deified toad to emerge.

Suddenly, Night River King saw a shadow walking across the mountain. He was shocked. Planet Blade was taken, so no one should have been wandering around. And on top of that, it was a restricted area.

Report chapter

Chapter 2191 In Front of Cold Palace

Night River King quickly recognized that shadow. He frowned and said, "What is Han Sen doing here?"

Han Sen had journeyed over the range of mountains to arrive near Cold Palace. He looked at the time and found that he still had five minutes to go. This was perfect.

"Han Sen, what are you doing? You are not the Cold Palace guardian anymore. Don't you know that this place is restricted?" Night River King shouted at Han Sen.

Han Sen smiled and said, "Night River King, are you too old to remember things correctly? Don't you remember that I was given permission to access any location on Planet Blade? You allowed this yourself."

Night River King looked glum at first, but then he laughed. He looked up at Han Sen with disdain and said, "This is why you wanted access to Planet Blade? That's fine. If you would like to watch me absorb moonlight, then feel free to watch. But don't blame me for not saving you when you freeze to death because you don't have access to the tablet and its protection."

Night River King believed Han Sen must have had a death wish. He was only a Marquise, after all. Not even Night River King would remain there without the tablet's protection.

If the deified toad was some distance away from him, Night River King could fight back against the cold power it created with his own power. But he would absorb less moonlight in the process. Without the tablet, the deified toad wouldn't allow him close. And if he made the toad mad, he'd likely lose his life.

Han Sen wouldn't be there for long. Han Sen wouldn't stay if the deified toad emerged.

Night River King believed that Han Sen was about to run off, but then, Han Sen approached. He was in front of the stone house now, standing on the other side of the door.

Han Sen saw Night River King smile at him, and so he said, "Night River King, you are so weird. You could be a King, but instead, you have come to guard this door."

Night River King's chuckle was brittle. "Yeah, well, one of us doesn't even have permission to guard the door."

Night River King raised his head. "Don't say I haven't warned you. There is less than a minute to go until the jade toad comes out. If you don't run off now, it will be too late for you by the time it emerges. And I will be unable to save you."

Thank you very much for reminding me, but I'll go when I feel like it," Han Sen responded flatly.

Night River King hummed to himself and did not speak. He thought Han Sen was there to play some sort of prank on him. Without the guardian tablet, though, it was only a matter of time before the annoying Marquise gave up and left.

Time ticked by, and the jade toad was on the verge of coming out. But even so, Han Sen gave no sign of wanting to leave the area.

"Whatever happens next, you had it coming. If you die, you die. If you honestly think I will make an effort to save you, you are gravely mistaken. When Knife was still around, I wouldn't have allowed you to die in my proximity, but now that she's gone…" Night River King's smile was full of teeth.

Boom!

The door of the stone house opened, and a gust of frosty air came out. It washed out like a tide, freezing the whole area around the house. It turned the basin of water into an iced-over lake.

A green toad started to emerge from the stone cave. The waterfall and the river quickly froze as well.

"This is definitely a deified creature. Even the power surrounding it is so strong. The icy power it commands is shocking to witness," Night River King thought in awe.

He turned to look at Han Sen. There was no way Han Sen could repel the frosty air, so Night River King figured that he'd swiftly turn to ice.

But when he looked, he found Han Sen standing casually in his original position. His body was like jade, and he looked normal. It didn't seem as if he was freezing, at all.

Night River King stared, and he thought to himself, "What is this? Although the frosty air is a passive effect that the toad gives off, not even a Duke should be able to block it at this proximity. If I did not have the guardian tablet with me, even I would have to be careful at this range. Why is Han Sen not freezing?"

As Night River King wondered this, the deified toad emerged. Its green eyes looked at Night River King. Even when it saw the tablet in his hands, the beast ignored him. It turned its head to look at Han Sen.

Night River King laughed. "I don't know what you have done to keep your body from freezing, but the guardian tablet is an agreement between the jade toad and my race. Without the tablet, the jade toad won't stand for you being here. He will eat you. You were too cocky to come here, and you will now pay for this by dying."

The jade toad looked at Han Sen on the other side of the door, but it didn't do anything to him. It merely meandered onwards to the pool.

Night River King wondered, "Has the jade toad not killed in so long that it is no longer interested in meat?"

When the jade toad made it to the pool, twenty or thirty small jade toads came out of the water. They all looked about the same size as a football. They shimmered like jade, too. They were all so beautiful.

When the small jade toads climbed out, they saw Han Sen standing near the door. Some of them ran towards Han Sen. Seeing this, Night River King was made very happy.

"Good! Good! Good! Although these small jade toads haven't reached their adult strength, if they attack Han Sen and he resists, he will be killed by the deified jade toad." Night River King grinned at the prospect.

But the scene that followed made Night River King freeze.

The small jade toads weren't coming to attack Han Sen. When they clambered around him, he crouched and started to pat their heads. Then, he picked up two.

"What the hell?" Night River King couldn't think straight, and he was starting to look as cold as the ice itself.

The jade toad was thought to be very cruel. Because the Rebate had a deal with it, people with the guardian tablet were allowed near it. No one would dare come to where it lived without the tablet, though.

The fact that the jade toad hadn't eaten Han Sen had surprised Night River King. But seeing Han Sen happily playing with the deified creature's young was bizarre. Night River King was starting to think that some sort of glamor had been placed on him.

The small jade toads weren't following. The deified jade toad stopped and looked at Han Sen.

"He dares to touch the small jade toads? The deified jade toad will surely be angry about this," Night River King thought desperately.

But the deified jade toad only made a noise. It turned around and kept going up towards the frozen lake.

Han Sen was still holding one little jade toad, and he followed the crowd across the lake and up the waterfall.

"How… The deified toad is allowing an outsider to sit next to it?" Night River King froze. His expression turned very foul.

Chapter 2192 Fighting

Han Sen stood atop the waterfall, absorbing the moon and cold powers alongside the smaller jade toads.

When Night River King saw this, his face hardened. Inside, he was thinking to himself, "This must have been set up before Knife left or something. That must have been why she allowed him to become the Cold Palace guardian. How could Knife treat an outsider so well without sparing a second thought to her own kind, the Rebate?"

Night River King thought this must have been a scheme concocted by Yisha. That was the only explanation he could think of for Han Sen's immunity to the cold powers and his friendship with the jade toad. He had no idea that, in reality, Yisha hadn't been able to get that close to the jade toad either.

He was angry, but there was nothing he could do to Han Sen. He most certainly regretted giving Han Sen permission to access Planet Blade. If he hadn't caved in, Han Sen wouldn't have been able to do anything.

Night River King forced himself to ignore Han Sen's presence for the moment. He cast his geno art and readied himself to absorb the moonlight.

But just as he prepared to absorb the moonlight, Han Sen stepped forward atop the waterfall and went before the moonlight that the jade toad was spitting out. By doing that, he completely blocked it from Night River King.

Night River King's parcel of land was left completely dark. He was wholly inside Han Sen's shadow, and he couldn't see the moonlight he wished to absorb.

"D*mn it!" Night River King thought furiously. But in the presence of the jade toad, he wouldn't dare make a disturbing noise. He didn't want to interrupt the jade toad, which was still in the process of unleashing moonlight.

Night River King didn't think the jade toad was all that nice of a creature. The jade toad used to be very infamous for its cruelty. It had once swallowed a planet and killed countless people. Its true self couldn't have been as friendly as it seemed to be with Han Sen.

The jade toad wasn't in Narrow Moon as a subordinate of the Rebate. It was a joint-partnership.

The jade toad had to spit out moonlight to practice its geno arts. Narrow Moon had many moons, so it was the perfect place for it to practice.

The jade toad had intended to enter Narrow Moon by brute force. It would have begun a war, and during that war, it probably would have extinguished the lantern of the Rebate. Luckily, the Extreme King had intervened. They stopped the deified creature and established the working deal between the toad and the Rebate.

The jade toad was permitted to live in Narrow Moon, and in the meantime, the Rebate would look after it. The Rebate would send one person with the guardian tablet, and the toad would also allow that individual to absorb the moonlight powers. And if Narrow Moon even faced a crisis, the jade toad would have to chip-in and help.

Over the many years since, the jade toad had been taken care of by the Rebate. And always, one of the Rebate was elected to absorb the moonlight. It was a peaceful thing. And Kings like Night River King, who was very old, still remembered the time when the jade toad wished to force its way into the Narrow Moon system. The fear had been constant in those days, and the old King knew better than to attempt provoking it.

Now Han Sen was there, blocking the moonlight, and it was prohibiting him from absorbing the moon powers. A dour look etched itself into Night River King's face. His forehead was green, and the blood vessels in his eyes looked like they were about to burst. There was nothing he could do about it, either.

Night River King gritted his teeth, looked around, and thought to himself, "If Han Sen is allowed to go up there, then I should be able to select a different spot to sit."

Night River King wanted to move to a different position, but he didn't dare go close to the waterfall. He just wanted to place himself at a different angle to absorb the moonlight powers from an area that wasn't cloaked by Han Sen's shadow.

Night River King wasn't sure if that would work or not. The agreement with the toad stated that the guardian must always remain on the porch.

If he wasn't permitted to go anywhere else, then he had no way of keeping Han Sen from blocking the moonlight. Not a single ray of light would be able to reach him, and he'd be unable to practice. But of course, that wasn't something he'd be willing to let happen.

Night River King mustered the courage necessary to risk moving. While looking at the jade toad, he raised one leg with the intent of putting it down off the porch.

But the moment his leg rose, the jade toad atop the waterfall moved its eyeball and looked his way. A chill rolled over Night River King's heart. He stopped, as if he had been stricken with petrification. Cold sweat covered his brow, and he didn't dare complete the move. He pulled his leg back.

The jade toad returned to looking at the sky. It was as if nothing had happened.

"Why… why… How could things turn out this way?" Night River King stood in place, his forehead glistening with sweat. His face had gone ashen, robbed of color and fixed with a contorted expression.

It had been a long struggle for him to gain the position of guardian, but now that he had finally achieved his goal, he was unable to see any of the moonlight the jade toad was spitting out. He could only sit there uselessly and enjoy the cool breeze, like a run-of-the-mill security guard.

"Han Sen… Han Sen… I will kill you…" Night River King hissed. He stared up at the back of the man standing atop the waterfall, and a capillary pulsed in his forehead.

Of course, while the toad was still there, Night River King could only remain where he was. He had almost ground his teeth to dust.

Han Sen hadn't spared Night River King a single glance the entire time, though. He stood in front of the moonlight, absorbing as much of the power as he could, all alone.

He knew Night River King despised him, but so what? If Han Sen just gave up without fighting, that was exactly what would make Night River King happy. And it would only halt Han Sen's progress in leveling up.

Humanity was born to compete. Even from the time each individual was a sperm amongst billions of others, everything was a race. In a family, fighting siblings for resources was common. Fighting against classmates for opportunities, or fighting against your workmates for chances of advancement. Fighting off creatures for the claim of food. Fighting for the chance to be the one who would evolve first.

If someone refused to fight, they'd never become better. They'd never reach the top.

If Han Sen had been afraid to fight, he wouldn't be traveling the road he was currently on. Instead of coming to the geno universe, he'd have stayed at home to make babies.

Anyone who crossed over to the geno universe, whether they were Han Sen or Ning Yue, they all knew what they would face: a fight. They would do anything to proceed, and falling back wasn't an option.

Night River King had cut off Han Sen's resources. That meant he had put a stop to Han Sen's chances of evolving. That was as bad as killing Han Sen's parents. And that meant Han Sen couldn't settle for peace with him.

The moment Han Sen accepted the legacy items, he knew right away that only one of them would end up hurting.

Night River King stood on the stone porch, and he stared at the shadow falling from atop the waterfall. He wanted to kill Han Sen, but he could only stand and watch as the man absorbed the moon power.

Han Sen looked so cold and proud. In his mind, he swore that if anyone fought against him for resources, they'd be the ones left chewing dust.

The shadow was like a mountain's, and it left Night River King gasping. He really wanted to kill Han Sen. And he began to scheme for a way in which he could make Han Sen dead.

Chapter 2193 You Don't Know My Eye

The moonlight was bright, and Han Sen still stood near the jade toad. He quietly absorbed all the moon and cold powers he could draw in.

The jade toad was treating him well partially because he had proficiency in the practice of Jadeskin. After he absorbed the moon and cold power, his power and aura became closer to the jade toad's. That was why the jade toad was okay with him being there.

But still, that wasn't enough for the jade toad to treat him so specially. The toad's kindness was mostly because of another important reason: Han Sen had the title Son of Moon.

Wherever Han Sen went, the moon presented him with moonlight. The moonlight was very strong, and since the jade toad had to spit out moons to practice its own geno arts, Han Sen's presence benefitted them all. It was good for the deified toad, and it was good for the smaller toads. So, the jade toad was happy to allow Han Sen to do whatever he wished.

Han Sen knew that the toad's goodwill depended on his reciprocation. He was useful to the jade toad, and that was why he was being treated nicely. Otherwise, the deified xenogeneic would have forced him to remain on the porch.

Han Sen didn't think he was prettier than others. Even if he was handsome, he didn't think the jade toad knew how to determine the beauty of humans for favoritism.

Han Sen only figured that out after sitting down and having a good think.

Han Sen had paid close attention to his relationship with the toad. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared fight against Night River King for the moonlight, especially without having the tablet. It was just that the jade toad needed him, and Han Sen had realized it. The toad wouldn't be angry because he didn't have the guardian tablet.

When the reflection of the moon was on the water, Han Sen's image seemed to grow crisper and clearer. The moon power and the cold power drifted inside of Han Sen. They made his genes quietly evolve to a better level.

Twenty-two hours later, Night River King was still moving around on the stone porch. Han Sen's body was wholly blocking the moon. Try as he might, Night River King couldn't absorb an ounce of that moonlight.

It didn't matter how angry Night River King was, all he could do was sit there. He was unable to leave. He had to wait until the jade toad returned to Cold Palace. Once it had fully vanished through the door, only then could he leave.

But Night River King wasn't planning on going anywhere. He was waiting for the jade toad to enter Cold Palace. Han Sen was just a Marquise, and he had humiliated Night River King a lot. This was something Night River King wasn't willing to accept. He had to wait until the jade toad returned to Cold Palace. And when it was gone, he'd kill Han Sen.

Even though Yisha was dead, killing Han Sen would still damage his reputation. But no one would offend Night River King in order to protect the soon-to-be-deceased Han Sen.

Night River King was very confident. He knew his limits. He knew what he could and couldn't do. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained so calm in the days when Yisha was alive and well. He had never brought harm to Han Sen.

Over the course of time, though, Night River King had become calmer and calmer. He paid attention to the time, and he knew each tick of the clock brought Han Sen one second closer to the doom that awaited him.

Eventually, the jade toad brought the little jade toads down the frozen waterfall. They went back into the stone cave as they always did.

Night River King stood where he was, not daring to make a move just yet. He stared at Han Sen, his eyes intent.

Night River King knew that to kill someone, you had to remain calm. Blinding yourself with anger would only make you lose control. Mistakes usually arose from careless anger. Even though Han Sen was just a Marquise, Night River King did not want to leave too much in the way of evidence.

Night River King wasn't the most famous character in the Rebate. His talents were only considered fair. It was rather unique that he had survived and made it to King class, because the geniuses of his generation were all dead.

When the jade toads all retreated back into the stone cave, the stone door closed. Then, Night River King went over to Han Sen. He walked with a straight back, as calm as the water in a well.

"Han Sen, you are still too young. You don't know your place, in that you don't know what you should do and what you shouldn't do," Night River King said as he approached Han Sen.

He didn't plan to strike just yet. He just followed the path that would take him to Han Sen. His black robe waved in the breeze of the night.

It wasn't as if he couldn't kill Han Sen. He just didn't want to do it there, in the event that what he did disturbed the jade toad.

Although Night River King didn't think the jade toad would avenge Han Sen's death, if he planned to kill Han Sen, he'd have to kill him in one hit. He couldn't afford Han Sen the chance of a getaway. He'd only have one shot.

"Oh, I don't? Then tell me: what is it that I should do?" Han Sen asked with a laugh.

"Wait. You have to endure the heaviness and strike in one fell swoop. A mature fighter would have this thought in mind when facing an enemy that is stronger than he," Night River King said coldly. A black ribbon began to swirl around his hands. It was like a snake that was coiling and slithering around a branch.

You are right!" Han Sen nodded. He agreed with what he was told.

Night River King laughed and said, "Then it looks like you can still be saved. Let me give you one more opportunity.

Leave now and never set foot on Planet Blade ever again."

Han Sen stopped. He looked at Night River King with disdain. "What you say might be right, but you don't know my eye."

"What about your eye?" Night River King asked calmly.

Han Sen laughed. "In my eyes, you are not strong. Why must I wait?"

"Good point. You must be prepared to accept the wrath of a King." Night River King had started calmly, but he ground out the final words between clenched teeth. And then, his hand that was surrounded with black water rose.

The black water became an enormous beast that looked ready to consume Han Sen. Even a mountain could find itself swallowed by the black water beast.

The sight of that river was unnerving. Night River King was using his strongest geno art. He wasn't holding back in the least.

As Han Sen seemed about to be consumed by the black water, a blue light suddenly encased his body. His form was wrapped up by a translucent blue shield.

Boom!

The terrifying black water beast bit down on it. It swallowed a chunk of the ground Han Sen was standing near. A hole was torn into the soil, as if the planet's surface was an apple.

"I know you have the power to block a King class attack, but my Night River Beast God is different. Its power may not be the strongest out of King class attacks, but it might very well be the longest-lasting. No matter how strong your treasure is, no one can withstand this attack if they are not of the same level as this strike." Night River King sounded cold, and his murderous tone seemed like it could freeze all who heard him.

The black water beast was wrapped around Han Sen's shield, and it didn't fall back. Its power was corrosive, and it suffused the blue shield in its energy.

Suddenly, Night River King frowned. The black water was moving, but something was rumbling.

Chapter 2194 Nothing Out of the Ordinary

The highly corrosive power of that black water was something like a whetstone. It looked like a grinder that could wear a diamond down into dust. It whirled continuously just outside the blue shield.

Night River King was confident in his Night River Beast God. The geno art didn't have overwhelming strike power like Yisha_s Teeth powers, which could one-hit-kill almost any enemy.

But this corrosive and grinding power could destroy King class weapons. Even a deified item could be reduced to dust if Night River's attack bore down on it for long enough.

Night River King didn't believe Han Sen's shield was deified. And even if he did, with Han Sen's Marquise power, he wouldn't be able to use it at max capacity. Whatever the blue shield was, it wouldn't last long if Han Sen's rank was below the item's.

This was the rule that applied to all treasures. Night River King believed his power would be able to break Han Sen's shield and kill him. All he required was time.

Night River King only hoped that no other Narrow Moon elite took notice of his actions before Han Sen was dead. If someone interrupted, that would ruin his night.

Sadly, Night River King was woefully uninformed about the differences between a beast soul and a treasure. A Marquise could not make use of all the power of a treasure, that was true. But that did not apply to a beast soul.

A treasure required the power of its user to support its usage, but a user's power wasn't needed when it came to a beast soul.

Beneath the black water wheel that was like a countless number of gears all spinning together, the Demon Bug Bai Sema was not incurring a single point of damage.

The half-deified Demon Bug Bai Sema, when it shrank far enough to only shield one person, provided a defense that could only be defined as insane. No opponent could break through it unless they were half-deified themselves. Only dust could be scraped off its surface.

To those with King class power, its resilience was mind-boggling.

"Night River King's power is quite interesting. His attack power isn't the strongest, but it holds a strong corrosive ability. And it's shaped to create a grinding action, as well. It's a pretty smart technique." Han Sen observed the black water that was spinning like a wheel, and as he did, he walked forward.

The Bai Sema followed Han Sen's movement, breaking away from the black water as it went.

Night River King could see the mass of black water moving, and the blue shield was becoming lighter and lighter as it emerged from within. Han Sen was forcing his way out of the Night River Beast God.

"What a powerful treasure." Night River King's face turned dim. He watched as Han Sen broke away from the water with his blue shield and walked away.

But Night River King seemed to expect this would happen. Unhurriedly, he put his hand to his waist and brought out a black blade. It was serrated, and its shape was like a crescent moon. He lifted it and slashed towards Han Sen.

The spinning crescent blade carried Night River Beast God power with it, too, and it was headed right for Han Sen's Demon Bug Bai Sema. The wheel power came against the surface of the Demon Bug Bai Sema hard, and a flurry of sparks flew at the contact. A loud screeching noise accompanied it.

"Let's see how much force you can really repel," Night River King murmured.

The crescent blade sent out an unbroken series of slashes, and the black water wheel came down on the blue shield again.

Han Sen ignored it, though. He just kept walking across Planet Blade.

Night River King had been very confident at one point. He would break Han Sen's shield before anyone else noticed, and when that was done, Night River King would kill him. That way, the matter would be finished. Even if it wasn't looked upon fondly, no one would bother raising an issue with Night River King's deed.

Plus, Han Sen wasn't one of the Rebate. He was an outsider. If everybody hadn't agreed with this fact, then they wouldn't have agreed to split Yisha's legacy items up amongst themselves.

But the black water wheel that kept pounding the small blue shield was not proving effective. It was like a ferry wheel, grinding uselessly against the water.

Night River King created many of those black water wheels. A lot of destructive power was now focused on the shield, but the blue shield's appearance hadn't changed. Han Sen didn't seem exhausted, either. It was as if he didn't have to use his own strength to keep the shield up.

"Impossible! No matter what the treasure is, it has to be feeding off his power." Night River King's face looked very gloomy. But still, he kept attacking the shield.

And try as he might, nothing seemed to work.

Many giant black water wheels hit the shield, making the shield look tiny beneath their mass and weight. After a countless number of them were used, the shield was still there. It was unfathomable, because that amount of corrosive power would have reduced the planet itself to space dust. But the shield still gave off the same blue light, unhindered and unharmed.

Night River King was causing such a ruckus that it was only a matter of time before Moon Wheel King and the others took notice. And they did.

"What is Night River King doing? Knife has only just passed away, and already he seeks to kill her only student. What would Night River King's own student feel?" Moon Wheel King looked grim.

When Black-Moon King saw this, he himself looked very dim. Then, he smiled and said, "Night River King, you have abandoned your own honor and tried to kill a student. But look at you: you have failed. You are a complete and utter embarrassment."

The few other Kings of Narrow Moon, witnessing the situation, looked on with confused expressions.

They were all well-acquainted with Night River King's power. They knew he wasn't the strongest, but if he had time, he should have been able to grind down a King class weapon.

Han Sen's blue shield was not even quivering beneath Night River King's unrelenting attack. The Kings had never seen anything like it.

"What kind of treasure is that, though? It has that sort of defense even in the hands of a Marquise?" everyone wondered.

Han Sen stepped off the surface of Planet Blade. Night River King kept trying to kill him, but all his attempts were useless. He couldn't stop Han Sen from proceeding.

Rage and embarrassment warred across Night River King's face. Despite sacrificing his reputation in front of the other Kings, he hadn't even managed to mess up Han Sen's hair. Shame washed through him.

Night River King roared to the sky, and more black water rose from him. His power exploded. His serrated crescent flashed towards Han Sen, who was still rising from Planet Blade.

A flying crescent headed toward Han Sen, carrying the power of the black water behind it. It struck the blue shield with all force. The King class weapon kept spinning against the blue shield. It ground harshly against the shield, emitting many sparks and sounds. It lit up the entire sky.

Planet Blade was overtaken by the noise and lights, and all the creatures fled as far away as they could. Only the King class elites stayed to watch. Now, many of them saw the sparks in the sky.

The elites stared at the light show in the sky, which centered on Han Sen encased in his blue shield. Their eyes traced the lines of the crescent with its black water power. They stood in silence for a long moment.

"Isn't that Night River King's King class weapon? Isn't that the crescent blade? How…"

"What did Han Sen do to provoke Night River King? What would inspire Night River to attack with the serrated crescent?"

The sky erupted with sparks like there was an ongoing firework show. The serrated crescent kept grinding. But the Kings could see that Han Sen's shield had yet to crack, and the jagged teeth of the crescent blade were beginning to

The toothy crescent blade was going to lose its teeth. And even so, it was unable to break Han Sen's shield.

"River Night Beast God is failing already? It's really nothing out of the ordinary, huh?" Han Sen's voice bellowed all across Narrow Moon. He ignored the crescent blade and kept flying with the wind.

Night River King's eyes were bulging with fury, but he couldn't stop Han Sen from moving. He saw Han Sen leaving slowly, and as he did, he felt a mixture of hopelessness, shame, and anger. A fire burned in Night River King's chest, making his blood pulse savagely.

Chapter 2195 Jade Drum

Night River King wanted to kill Han Sen. He even used his crescent blade, but try as he might, he couldn't lay so much as a finger on Han Sen. When Han Sen left the planet unharmed, Night River's failure made him a laughingstock to all the Nobles inside Narrow Moon.

Although ordinary Nobles wouldn't mock Night River King to his face, they were more than happy to discuss it while his back was turned. They were all surprised that Han Sen's shield was so powerful, and that Night River King had performed so poorly.

A while ago, Han Sen handed out his spare Bai Semas to Zero, Little Angel, and Han Meng'er. He kept the gold one for himself.

Han Sen did this because he wanted them to guard the base. If King class elites ever attacked the base, his companions could use the tri-color Bai Sema to protect it. By combining the three shields of different colors, the defensive properties could then protect the entire base from an assault. King class elites wouldn't be able to punch through that easily.

If Night River King decided to go all the way, Han Sen had to ensure that his base was protected. He couldn't afford to be ambushed unprepared.

And as for Han Yan, Han Sen had contacted Sky Palace in the hopes he could secure a place for her there. When they accepted her, he'd give her the gold Bai Sema so that her own safety was assured.

"It would be great if I was able to obtain a few more Bai Sema beast souls." Han Sen already had four, but he was of the mind that it wasn't enough. He imagined finding and killing a few more of those Demon Bug Kings.

At this stage, Han Sen didn't need to be afraid of anything. He went to Cold Palace to absorb moon and cold powers on every first and every fifteenth day of the month. Every single time, he also blocked all the moonlight that might otherwise fall on Night River King. He received nothing.

Night River King had finally gotten the guardian position, but all he could ever do was sit around and watch Han Sen get all the goodies he had wanted for himself. The refreshing breeze was all he could enjoy. He hated Han Sen to the depths of his soul, but he now knew there was nothing he could do to him.

He looked for another elite who might be willing to stop Han Sen from visiting Planet Blade, but even the other Kings that were friends with him—like Shadow King—did not agree with him.

The Narrow Moon assembly had cooperated against Han Sen when Yisha died because they wished to share Yisha's legacy items. Even the Nobles that followed Yisha did not want to give Han Sen all her things. He was an outsider, and they all wanted some of her stuff for themselves. That's why no one had objected when Han Sen was given almost nothing.

Now, things were different. The items were distributed and Night River King had become the guardian, so there was no longer a reason for anyone to help him take Han Sen out.

Yisha had only just died, and they had already stolen what Han Sen deserved. What would people think of them if they went after Han Sen again?

Plus, Han Sen had that powerful Bai Sema. He'd be very difficult to take down, and there was no guarantee they could. Night River King had already tried to overcome the shield, and it had only led to a soured reputation. The other Kings did not want to do something that wouldn't benefit them. It was none of their business.

Night River King couldn't stop Han Sen alone. So, two nights a month, Night River King was forced to watch as Han Sen absorbed that moonlight. He hated the fact that Han Sen had weaseled permission to access the planet out of him.

But now, it was too late. Han Sen never missed a day. And eventually, Night River King lost all interest in going to Planet Blade.

Han Sen kept practicing with his cold and moon powers, hoping to become a Duke soon. And then, he'd be able to absorb Duke genes.

Night River King wasn't crazy enough to go to Planet Eclipse, although he wanted to very much. Part of him wanted to go and crush the planet in every way. But even causing an issue with the delivery of supplies didn't seem likely.

There weren't many people in the base, and on top of that, there were many resources around. So they wouldn't run out of food anytime soon. And in regards to everything else, they were well-supplied there as well.

Black-Moon King gave Han Sen some additional help, which ensured that Planet Eclipse wasn't an isolated community. Isolation did not mean anything to Han Sen, but he appreciated the aid he was given.

Time passed, and Han Sen's Jadeskin neared Duke level. But before he could break through and reach the rank of Duke, he received a message from Huangfu Jing.

That surprised Han Sen. Huangfu Jing was a very independent woman. Her title in the Alliance was Queen, and her personality fit that title very well. If she was contacting Han Sen out of the blue, then something must have happened.

"What happened?" Han Sen asked immediately. There was no need for formalities with her.

Huangfu Jing answered just as directly. "I am on Planet Jade Drum. There's trouble."

Tell me clearly." Han Sen scanned through an overview of Planet Jade Drum as he walked and talked.

Planet Jade Drum was a planet that belonged to Thousand Treasures. There was a xenogeneic there that was named Jade Drum. It was the namesake of the planet.

Stone Drum, Steel Drum, Bronze Drum, Silver Drum, Gold Drum, Jade Drum—those six xenogeneics were ordinarily Duke class.

And all of them lived exclusively on Planet Jade Drum.

According to the information he dug up, Jade Drums could become King class, but the King class Jade Drums were usually taken away from Planet Jade Drum.

The Jade Drums were highly sought after because they were very unique. The creatures couldn't move, and they required other races to help them travel around the universe. Normally, Drums would follow a stronger race. If someone wished to take a Drum away, they would have to receive Drum's approval. If this was given, the Drum would allow itself to be removed from Planet Jade Drum.

Jade Drum xenogeneics were musical xenogeneics. They could go anywhere in the universe and absorb sound to level up. The powers they wielded were sonic, as well. If someone kept a Jade Drum next to them, and they were attacked with sonic power, the Jade Drum would shield them and fight back with sonic powers of its own.

Huangfu Jing was off exploring. When she went by Planet Jade Drum, she wanted to try her luck at catching a Silver Drum.

Surprisingly, Huangfu Jing received the approval of a Jade Drum. But after that, things started to go poorly.

The Jade Drums belonged to Thousand Treasures. Thousand Treasures kept the creatures there as free treasures. Anyone who bought a ticket from Thousand Treasures could go to Planet Jade Drum and find a Drum that might wish to accept them.

As far as how one went about finding a Drum and gaining their approval, Thousand Treasures did not care. They would just register the Drums that were taken away.

Huangfu Jing was just an Earl, but she had gained the approval of a Jade Drum. Thousand Treasures might still allow her to take it, but if she registered it, everyone would learn that an Earl had taken a Jade Drum. She would be safe on Planet Jade Drum, but many people would seek to take it away from her if she left.

So, Huangfu Jing hadn't registered it yet. Instead, she called Han Sen.

Chapter 2196 Sound

As he spoke to Huangfu Jing, Han Sen had a look at the route and estimated the travel time it would take for him to get there. "Don't register it just yet. Wait for me on Planet Jade Drum. I'll be there in four days; can you wait that long?"

Since the entry pass for Planet Jade Drum was only valid for ten days, visitors would be forced out if their allotted time expired. That was why Han Sen had to confirm that he would make it in time.

Yes, I am still eligible to be here for another six days," Huangfu Jing answered.

"Okay, then. Wait for me." Han Sen sighed with relief.

Han Sen hung up the phone and readied himself to go to Planet Jade Drum. With Huangfu Jing's ability-level and intelligence, he wouldn't worry too much for her safety there. But bringing the Jade Drum back safely would be difficult.

Planet Jade Drum was named after the Jade Drums, but Jade Drums were rare. Many sonic Kings wished to locate a Jade Drum in order to grow their powers.

It would be rather magnificent if they managed to get a King class Jade Drum for themselves. But Huangfu Jing, who was only an Earl, had managed to secure a Jade Drum for herself. It was going to be hard to get it away from there without attracting unwanted attention.

Han Sen had his Demon Bug shield, so he wasn't afraid of any King class enemies. All he feared was the prospect of more than one King on the lookout for him. That could go badly.

Han Sen packed up his things and told Han Yan and the others not to leave the base while he was away.

He took Bao'er with him as he left Narrow Moon, and they used a wormhole to get to Planet Jade Drum.

Han Sen had only just left Narrow Moon when Night River King received word of his departure.

"Han Sen, you know what? It's fine if I can't kill you. I can still make you suffer a fate worse than death." Night River King's face was all twisted, and his eyes shone with a malevolent hatred.

A Duke came and bowed to Night River King. "My King, I have done everything you asked me to."

"Good. Very good." Night River King waved his hand to excuse the Duke. He then turned his attention to the screen that displayed Planet Eclipse. With a twisted smile, he said, "Han Sen, I can't wait to see the look on your face when you come back and realize all your friends are dead. I will be looking forward to that."

The day after Han Sen's departure, a fleet of ships entered Narrow Moon. They were cargo ships that delivered produce. They were outsiders to Narrow Moon, so they had to pay taxes to enter.

There were many resources aboard, with many hailing from a variety of different planets. There were many xenogeneics, which made for their primary load of cargo.

When the ship went by Planet Eclipse, one of the ships broke down. Many of the xenogeneics escaped from the ship and scattered across Narrow Moon. The people of Narrow Moon attempted to capture them again.

As this occurred, someone snuck into Planet Eclipse and placed one of those xenogeneics atop a mountain there.

It was a xenogeneic that looked like a queen bee. Instead of the expected yellow and black, however, its body was dark red. When that xenogeneic regained its freedom, it killed a whole host of xenogeneics all across that mountain. Then, it placed eggs inside the bodies of the slain. The eggs were red, as well.

Those eggs incubated quickly, and as this happened, the corpses dried and shriveled into husks. It was like the eggs were absorbing all the nutrients that the bodies had to offer.

Not long after, the bees began to hatch and journey to a single mountain amidst a vast range. Together, they hollowed it out. There were many entrances all across the mountain's slopes. It was like a huge beehive, and many of those red bees came in and out.

As all this occurred, no one in the base took notice. Han Sen had told everyone to stay inside the base when he left, so his people did as they were instructed; no one went hunting and no one left.

This situation made the murderous Night River King frown deeply. He quickly said, "Han Sen is evil! After he left, he told all of his friends to hide in the base. But hiding away won't do them any good. They're all going to die. We just need to lure the Shadow Queen Bee their way with an incense she likes. If we guide her toward the base, she is sure to kill all of them. Han Sen! When you come back and see all your friends and family have been implanted by the eggs of the queen bee, I wonder what the look on your face will be like!"

Han Sen followed the designated route and arrived at Planet Jade Drum in time. Four days wasn't a long time, but to Han Sen, the delay was quite worrying. He was afraid Queen and the Jade Drum might have been discovered by this point.

Luckily, all that he feared had not come to pass. He paid the Thousand Treasures some cash, then entered Planet Jade Drum.

When flying over Planet Jade Drum, the planet was visibly covered in grey mountains. No life was visible. There was no countryside, and there were no xenogeneics.

But that was just the surface of the planet. Inside a large mountain on Planet Jade Drum, there was a slew of mines. The Drum xenogeneics lived there.

To look for them, people had to explore the mines and dig. The level of creature they found, however, was determined by a combination of luck and their own abilities.

Even King class elites might only be able to locate a low-level Bronze Drum or Silver Drum. Jade Drums were incredibly rare. The rate of finding them was often below one per year.

Han Sen used his phone to give Queen a call, but the call didn't go through. She had turned her communicator off, and that made Han Sen frown.

Before entering Planet Jade Drum, he had been talking to Queen. But now, the phones weren't working. It suggested to him that something must have happened.

Fortunately, Han Sen already knew her last location. So, he summoned his red cloud and went right for her with Bao'er.

Inside a specific mountain on Planet Jade Drum, there was a Taurus Marquise clutching a strange treasure weapon. He looked murderous. He looked at Huangfu Jing and laughed. "I was just coming here to search for a Jade Drum and see if I could steal it. Thanks to you, I have found it right here. Give it to me, and I will let you leave here alive."

Huangfu Jing didn't move, and she calmly looked at the Taurus Marquise. She was confused, unsure how he knew she had managed to find a Jade Drum.

When Huangfu Jing spoke to Han Sen, they used their human language. It was very different from the common tongue of the geno universe. Even if they were overheard, no one should have been able to understand what they were saying.

The Taurus slowly neared her. He grinned proudly and said, "You must think it is weird that I understand your language. But I think it's the most natural thing in the universe, because I study sound. No sound can escape my ears. It is a power that allows me to understand any language I hear, even if I have never heard it before. Nothing you say can escape my ears."

Chapter 2197 Killer Queen

"Where is the Jade Drum? Give it to me, and I will permit you to live." The Taurus began to approach Huangfu Jing, lifting his creepy weapon to point it at her threateningly.

The weapon looked very strange. It was roughly the shape of a greatsword, but the back of the greatsword had a rectangular slot. Inside of that slot, there was something that looked like a string.

Huangfu Jing gave no response, so the Taurus Marquise looked at her murderously. He unleashed a strike in her direction.

That strike was strong. The string in the slot moved and made a sharp sound.

Huangfu Jing dodged it. She immediately flowed into her Heavenly Go and phoenix movements, the latter of which she had learned from Han Sen. Just as she was about to evade that swordstrike, she suddenly realized that a sonic attack was coming for her, as well. It struck her, and it made her body shake. Her brain felt as if it had been prodded with a number of prickly needles.

Katcha!

The disorientation allowed the sword to hit Huangfu Jing's body, and the blow sent her flying away. Blood trailed behind her through the air.

Fortunately, Huangfu Jing was incredible capable at evasive maneuvers. She had a strong will, too, so after that sonic attack, she immediately returned to dodging. If she hadn't done this, her arm would have been hacked off.

"If you don't want me to cut your limbs off one by one, then give me the Jade Drum." The Taurus Marquise's eyes looked to be on fire. His four legs sprinted towards Huangfu Jing, and his arms lifted the greatsword above his head.

And then, the shadow of a red beast appeared behind him. It roared as the greatsword moved. And as this occurred, the sonic powers surged angrily into her brain.

Huangfu Jing wiped the blood off of her face and slipped back into her Heavenly Go movements to avoid her foe.

Bzzt!

Huangfu Jing felt as if her brain was being stabbed by knives. It almost left her paralyzed. Still, she managed to dodge the strike and avoid getting hit.

The Taurus Marquise saw Huangfu Jing evade his greatsword, and he frowned. He looked angrier than ever, following that.

"It is useless!" he barked. "With my sonic sword, you will not live. Your only hope is to give me the Jade Drum."

After that, the greatsword came swinging at Huangfu Jing with even more speed. The sound emitted by the string grew louder and louder.

Huangfu Jing's expression didn't change at all, though. She calmly looked at the Taurus Marquise, and then her body began to change.

Huangfu Jing had a geno armament, which had come after she initially obtained a geno armor. Just like Han Sen's Dongxuan Sutra, it provided her with an entire set of armor.

The gold geno armament clad her entire body. Although it was just an Earl set, it was still very powerful. It was no weaker than the armors possessed by the very top Earls.

But that wasn't the scariest thing about her. A strange power started to brew within the gold armor. It changed her actual body.

A gold light began to shine from her armor, and the armor itself began to look like red steel. She looked as if she had just emerged from a pool of lava.

There was no heat coming off of her, though, and the growing power remained contained by the armor. It made her shine gold.

Dong!

The greatsword slashed, but this time, Huangfu Jing did not dodge. She raised her arm and grabbed the falling blade. That slashing power was brought to a dead halt by Huangfu Jing's hand. The blade came to a standstill, and despite the force the Taurus was using, the blade refused to descend any further.

The gold-looking hand was glowing, and a flurry of sparks spewed out from the point of contact. The Taurus stared with wide eyes. He could not believe an Earl had managed to block his sword. He was so angry that he couldn't help but roar. As he held his greatsword, he began to apply even more force in a bid to drive it downwards.

Huangfu Jing's eyes shone, and the gold light radiated powerfully from her form. Her other hand was like a blade then, and it came across her body to slash the assaulting greatsword.

Pang!

The greatsword's string snapped under Huangfu Jing's strike, and the sharp noises were at last brought to an end. But the force drove Huangfu Jing to her knees on the ground.

"Even without sonic powers, killing you will be a satisfying endeavor!" the Taurus thundered. His muscles were bulging, and his shadow looked furious. The greatsword came slashing down at the half-kneeling Huangfu Jing.

Even as the greatsword came bearing down on her, Huangfu Jing remained absolutely calm. And then, she moved. She ignored the incoming strike of the greatsword as her gold fist punched up towards the Taurus.

"D*mn!" The Taurus Marquise looked upset, but he was still greedy. He had only aimed for her hand. He didn't want to kill her just yet. He needed her to locate the Jade Drum for him, after all.

Just as the greatsword was just about to hit Huangfu Jing, her body suddenly disappeared. She teleported behind him, and her fist was driven into the back of his head.

Pang!

That brightly-lit fist hit the back of the Taurus' head like a hammer. It broke through his protection and wrecked his helmet.

The Sagittarius was both shocked and enraged, and so he hastily swung his sword behind him.

But the greatsword found no target. It couldn't touch her, as her body teleported to his left side. A powerful leg swung toward his neck with the ferocity and speed of a hunting cat.

Katcha!

The glowing leg was like an ax as it came forward to strike his neck. The leg broke the armor of his neck and drew blood from his flesh.

Huangfu Jing did not stop, though. She appeared all around him, striking like a killing machine. She attacked him with her fists, fingers, elbows, legs, and knees. She left the Taurus an abundance of wounds. His armor kept breaking further and further with each hit.

The Taurus Marquise looked as shocked as some stupid bear. No matter how much he struggled now, he wasn't able to attack Huangfu Jing, and every attempted counterattack just ended with him getting hit again.

The Taurus was covered in his own blood. Anger, fear, and hopelessness were painted all across his face. It made him scream in pain.

Boom!

Amidst those crazy attacks, the rest of the Taurus' armor broke. Huangfu Jing ripped his head off completely, and the headless body slumped to the floor, squirting blood.

Huangfu Jing settled herself back down on the floor. Her face hadn't changed at all. The light glowing from her faded gradually, until she looked like her usual self again.

Han Sen had arrived in time to witness Huangfu Jing make use of her super god body. Her performance really impressed him. "Killer Queen's super god body is real. The unlimited teleporting ability will be more than enough to carry her through this universe."

Chapter 2198 Digging Up the Jade Dru

This was the first time Han Sen had been able to see Huangfu Jing's super god body up-close. Although her level was low, her teleportation skill was still a league better than his own Break Space Flash.

Break Space Flash only let him move in a direct line. It appeared as if Huangfu Jing's teleportation ability had no such limitations. She could appear at any location she wished to. And when she used her geno art attacks, her powers teleported along with them. It was quite sick.

Luckily, Huangfu Jing's level was still low. The teleportation ranges were quite low. If they were any bigger, it'd be something quite frightening.

"It was a Marquise of a lesser race. It's no big deal," Huangfu Jing said simply.

If someone had said that, they would have been bragging. But Huangfu Jing meant exactly what she said.

Han Sen just shrugged without speaking. Just as Huangfu Jing said, it was an enemy of a lesser race, so the fight hadn't really been too serious.

Huangfu Jing turned and silently guided Han Sen and Bao'er to the mine in which she had located the Jade Drum.

Because she didn't want the Jade Drum to be found, she hadn't hauled it around with her. She had kept it securely in the mine she had first located it in.

Han Sen followed her into the mine and immediately saw one of the legendary Drums.

But it was not the Jade Drum that met his eyes first. It was a Steel Drum protruding from the stone. It was about a foot long. It was black like steel, and it looked like a drum that you would hang around your waist.

A searcher had to dig a Steel Drum from the rock and then hit it. If the drum made a noise when it was struck, that would be the sign that the person had earned its approval. Then they could take the Drum away from Planet Jade Drum with them.

But each ticket only gave a visitor the right to take one creature out with them. So, no matter how many Drums a person found, they could only take one away with them.

The Steel Drum was quite common on Planet Jade Drum, so there was no need to spend time locating them. And because of this, not many people actually went looking for them.

Han Sen followed Huangfu Jing down a very complicated, winding mine shaft. But all they saw along the way were Steel Drums. They did not even see a single Bronze Drum. It looked as if it was a very large mine shaft dedicated exclusively to Steel Drums.

Normally, a Steel Drum would rarely have a Bronze Drum or Silver Drum in its general vicinity. There was even less chance of finding a rarer Drum. Huangfu Jing finding a Jade Drum there had been most fortuitous.

They had been walking down that complicated mine shaft for over a day when they finally found the place she had spoken about.

There were lots of Steel Drums along the way to that place, and rarely would they spot a Bronze Drum. It didn't seem likely they'd find a Jade Drum there, but there was indeed a Jade Drum in the stone. The Drum looked white, and its surface was transparent. It was a very pretty thing to behold.

Huangfu Jing struck the Drum gently, and it responded with a booming noise. To Han Sen, that noise was like an explosion taking place inside his head.

And that was what it produced when she only gave it a slight tap. If all of its powers were triggered, it would likely leave Dukes bleeding profusely.

If they could level the thing up to King class, it could be even stronger.

But leveling up the Jade Drum to King class wouldn't be an easy feat. With Huangfu Jing's power, she would still depend heavily on the Jade Drum's strength while exploring.

"Why didn't you dig it up?" Han Sen asked.

"The rock around it is too hard. I spent some time trying to dig it up earlier, but I didn't make any progress," Huangfu Jing admitted.

Han Sen noticed the rocks around the Drum had been corroded by the Jade Drum. The solvent looked like ink. Han Sen pressed his hand into the stone, but he was only able to collect and remove a small amount. It was indeed very hard.

Han Sen drew out his Ghost Teeth Knife, though, and he dug the Drum out of the stone in a matter of minutes. He tried to tap the Drum himself, but it didn't work. So, he had no qualms about giving it to Queen.

Han Sen was planning to leave the planet alongside Queen right then and there. But all of a sudden, curiosity shone in Bao'er's eyes. She leapt off of Han Sen's shoulders and went down a specific path. She yelled over her shoulder to Han Sen, "Dad, let's go here!"

"Bao'er, what have you found?" With curiosity, Han Sen took off after her.

Huangfu Jing, while carrying the Jade Drum, followed after Han Sen. Bao'er was still leading, and she eventually reached a crevice and crawled into it.

The crevice was so small that even Bao'er had a hard time squeezing into it. Han Sen and Queen had to compress their bones to fit and squirm their way through. A little while later, Bao'er shouted and leapt towards a rock.

"Dad, dig here!" Bao'er pointed at a stone wall.

There were Steel Drums all around, so it didn't look as if there would be anything good in the vicinity. But still, Han Sen trusted Bao'er. So, he drew out his Ghost Teeth Knife again and began hacking at the black rocks.

Beneath the Ghost Teeth Knife's razor edge, the stone was like tofu. The surface of the wall came apart quickly, but his progress soon slowed a little. And the further he went, the harder it became to dig. The stone soon went from the color of steel to various jade colors. Eventually, he reached a black crystal surface. It became so difficult to dig that he began to sweat with the effort.

After digging seven meters, he still hadn't found anything. But then suddenly, there was the dinging noise of his knife striking crystal. The knife hit something, and it couldn't dig any further.

Han Sen chopped away the rocks all around, and before long, he found a white Jade Drum inside the wall he had been working on.

"A Jade Drum!" Han Sen exulted. He swung the Ghost Teeth Knife faster to fully reveal the Drum.

After Han Sen dug it up, he kissed Bao'er and said, "Bao'er, you are such a good daughter!"

If he had a Jade Drum to practice with, there was now a chance Han Sen could become King. It was like he was carrying a King class fighter with him. It was something truly awesome.

Bao'er blinked and looked at the broken surface of the mountain. She pointed at it and spoke again. "Dad, keep digging!"

"There are even more Jade Drums?" Han Sen was surprised. He followed Bao'er directions and kept on digging.

Usually, there couldn't be more than one Jade Drum inside a single mine. It was similar to the way one area rarely had two predators. Even though the mine was big, there were already two Jade Drums there. It seemed incredibly unlikely for there to be a third one around.

But Bao'er must have had her reasons for wanting to continue, and so Han Sen kept going.

The rock there was even harder than what they had gone through earlier. Han Sen kept giving it his full power, but he could only peel away thin layers of the stone at a time. After half a day, the black rocks began to gleam with red light.

Han Sen was even happier than before. The constant digging had soaked him with sweat, but a short time later, he had hacked away enough of the black crystal. The surface of a Drum became visible.

It was indeed a Jade Drum, but it looked different from the usual ones. This Jade Drum was built from jade, but it had red marks across it. The mixed white and red formed a remarkable design.

Chapter 2199 Blood Scorpion Jade Drum

Han Sen carefully examined the red patterns that adorned the Jade Drum and realized that they formed the shape of a scorpion. In all, it was around the size of a man's hand. It was red like jade, and it contrasted sharply with the white surface of the Drum. The pattern didn't look as if it had been engraved into the item, though. It looked as if an actual scorpion lived beneath the Drum's surface.

Huangfu Jing looked at the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum. She blurted in surprise, "I have heard that the Jade Drum is the best Drum you can find. But this one has a scorpion pattern on it. Maybe this is even better? It could be a King class Jade Drum that just so happens to be born this way."

Han Sen nodded. He was very happy about this find. Normal Jade Drums could reach the class of King. But if this one was born a King, it might eventually reach a deified status. Even if that wasn't possible, it could surely become half-deified.

There were many races that were considered to be higher races. Usually, that claim depended on having one half-deified elite to maintain their position.

Han Sen stopped talking. He gripped his Ghost Teeth Knife and returned to digging out the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum. He had only gone there to help out Huangfu Jing, and he never expected to get something so nice for himself.

"Good people receive good rewards. I need to do more nice things, then, huh?" Han Sen mumbled as he kept digging through the stone.

The rock was too hard, though. Han Sen had to exhaust a lot of his energy, and he was breaking his hands in his attempt to dig out the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum.

This Drum was a little smaller than the other Jade Drums they had collected. It was only the size of two adult fists. Both of its sides showed that red scorpion symbol, and it looked as if there was a red scorpion alive inside it.

The side of the Drum was inscribed with a number of additional red symbols. Again, they were different than anything that might appear on an ordinary Jade Drum.

Han Sen lifted it in his hands, and he was delighted. He gathered up power and hit the Jade Drum.

Pat!

What was emitted was not the sound of a drum. Han Sen hit the Drum, and the Drum actually ricocheted the power back towards Han Sen. It put him in immediate pain.

"It doesn't work!" Han Sen wasn't about to give up that easily, though. To gain the Drum's approval, Han Sen had to display his power for it.

Han Sen gathered up his Jadeskin power and struck the surface of the Drum again.

Pat!

The Drum didn't move or release any real sound. There was just the dull thud of Han Sen's hand striking something solid.

Han Sen did not want to give up. He used all his power to hit the Jade Drum. He tried to hit it, poke it, and slap it. But that Jade Drum seemed like it was muted. It wouldn't work for him, no matter what he tried.Visit website our

Now Han Sen was feeling depressed. If he wanted to take the Jade Drum back with him, he'd need to gain its approval. If he didn't earn its approval, the Thousand Treasures wouldn't let him take it away with him.

Pang!

A big explosion sounded in Han Sen's ear. It almost made him collapse. He turned around to see Bao'er laying into the Jade Drum.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

Bao'er was having a lot of fun playing with it. She even played a song called General.

She might have been having a lot of fun, but Han Sen and Huangfu Jing weren't. They were struggling not to vomit. Han Sen quickly picked up Bao'er and put the Drum away.

"Bao'er, play this one, as well." Han Sen moved Bao'er the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum, while he himself moved to the white Jade Drum to see if he could play that.

"The Blood Scorpion Jade Drum might be too high level. This Jade Drum looks good, at least. It could be a Duke. And there's always the chance it might be King class," Han Sen thought. He doubted that Bao'er would succeed. But if she did, that would be fine.

Han Sen had confidence. When he patted the drum, though, he felt a pain.

Pat!

After that little sound, the white Jade Drum made no more noise. He gathered up more and more power, and he kept hitting it.

And despite his continued pounding, the white Jade Drum made no noise for him no matter what he did.

Han Sen was left clutching the white Jade Drum with feelings of depression. Then, he thought to himself, "Bao'er played the General song. Does claiming the drum require you to use a sonic power?"

The theory intrigued him. He tried to remember a particular song, and then he used his fist like a hammer and followed the melody of that song while he hit the Drum.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

He repeated the General, which Bao'er had played earlier, but not to the same quality. Han Sen played it so badly that his hands ended up getting swollen. But again, the white Jade Drum made no additional sound. All that was heard was the pounding of his fists.

"Do I have bad rhythm? There is no way I cannot earn its approval. Especially since this is my luck I'm talking about it. Let me try another song." Han Sen quickly tried a different song. And then, he focused all his power back into his fists.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound of striking steel was heard. After a few more tries, Han Sen's hands felt like they were on the verge of breaking. If that happened, he'd be disabled.

Han Sen was rubbing his fists in a bout of fierce depression. But all of a sudden, he heard the sound of a drum. As the noise rolled over him, it felt as if a steel rod had been shoved down through the top of his head and out his butthole.

Pang!

Han Sen fell down onto the ground, coughing up blood. His head was buzzing as if something was grinding it. His organs were all damaged. His body was stronger than a pure Dragon's, but not even he could stand the strength of that Drum sound.

Huangfu Jing wasn't doing much better. Blood was leaking past her lips in thin trails.

Bao'er was shocked, and she immediately let go of the Jade Drum she was holding. She went over to Han Sen and held his head. She shouted at him. She had just randomly struck the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum because she was bored. She never expected it to injure Han Sen and Huangfu Jing.

"Bao'er, are you trying to kill your Daddy?!" Han Sen pulled himself off the ground with immense pain in his head. He couldn't think straight.

"Sorry, Dad! I just randomly hit it." Bao'er said innocently.

"Luckily, your strike was light. If you had used more strength, we'd be dead right now!" Han Sen said, while picking up Huangfu Jing.

It was fortunate their injuries weren't lasting. They recovered with their geno arts, but they had realized just how scary that Blood Scorpion Jade Drum was.

"I'll take you guys back for now, then return here myself. There has to be some way that I can make a noise with this thing." Han Sen reached out his hand and pointed at the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum. Han Sen summoned his Destiny's Tower from his Sea of Soul and tried putting the Drum in there for future investigation.

Because each person could only take one Drum out, and only Huangfu Jing and Bao'er having been accepted by a Drum, there was one left over. So, Han Sen had to hide it.

But when Destiny's Tower covered the Drum, the Drum suddenly made a noise and flashed brightly. A sonic force pressed against Destiny's Tower, pushing it back into Han Sen's Sea of Soul.

"D*mn! It won't go in?" Han Sen's face changed, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum in shock.

Chapter 2200 Violent Approval

Han Sen frowned. He had tried using his Destiny's Tower to try to claim the other Jade Drum, but it did not work.

"This is bad. If I am unable to make a sound with the Jade Drum, I will have no choice but to leave it here." Han Sen felt bad about this, but he was short on time.

Queen had less than a day. If she didn't register her own Drum in time, she wouldn't be able to take it with her, even if she did have one willing to follow her. Han Sen had a tight deadline for earning the approval of the Jade Drum.

"It doesn't matter which Jade Drum accepts me. As long as one of them will make a sound, we can figure the rest out later," Han Sen thought to himself. He picked up the white Jade Drum Duke. Then, he gave Bao'er to Huangfu Jing. "Take Bao'er away from me. I am going to hit this Drum. If it works, I don't want to bring you two any harm."

Huangfu Jing nodded. Then, she took Bao'er towards the exit.

When Huangfu Jing left, Han Sen brought out his Demon Bug Bai Sema. He looked at the white Jade Drum, then straightened his middle finger and his thumb. A gold light appeared.

Han Sen couldn't rely on using luck to get the Drum to obey, so he would have to rely on brute force. He actually wanted Huangfu Jing to take Bao'er away because he didn't want to be seen in his Dollar persona.

A coin appeared in his hand. On its surface was the number one. As time passed, the number increased in singular ticks.

Two… Three… Four… Five…

Saving Money was working, and the number went up. With every jump in number, the force that gathered on the coin was multiplied.

The white Jade Drum was a Duke. So, Han Sen brought the coin's power up to the number ten. When that was done, he fired it at the Jade Drum. The coin was unleashed with the force of a meteor, and it hit the Drum hard.

Dong!

A strong power made a very loud noise atop the white Jade Drum. The sound washed out of the Drum like a tsunami. When it hit the gold Demon Bug Bai Sema, however, it bounced back.

The sonic force inside the Bai Sema kept bouncing and rolling around with the echo. It was getting stronger.

Han Sen was inside all that sonic force, but he was not hurt. He had struck the white Jade Drum brutally and gotten its approval. The way he had gone about it was just a little violent, but the white Jade Drum's power did not hurt him because it had accepted him.

But after the results of the blow surprised Han Sen. The sonic power inside the Demon Bug Bai Sema was increasing. It reminded Han Sen of White Real's Echo ability.

He had once joked that if he had a big bell to trap his enemies, he could use Echo to increase sonic powers in the confined space. The Demon Bug Bai Sema might not have been a bell, but it had been proven to be able to trap an enemy. On top of that, Echo seemed to work inside it.

"I have only been thinking about the Demon Bug Bai Sema's ability to protect me, and so I've been overlooking an incredible opportunity. I should really go back to Sky Palace and learn Echo from White Real. Using Echo and the Jade Drum in combination could work very well," Han Sen thought to himself.

The white Jade Drum, after that manic and violent display, gave its approval to Han Sen. When Han Sen tried to confirm this and hit it again, it was a much simpler affair. By just hitting it lightly, the Drum now made a sound and emitted sonic powers.

"Sometimes, violence really does work more than reason." Han Sen chuckled as he put away the white Jade Drum. Then he looked at the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum.

"Let's see if I can take this one with me." Han Sen brought out a coin and began gathering up power again. When the number ticked its way up to ten, he fired the coin at the Drum.

Dong!

The coin hit the Drum's surface. A metal noise sounded. He wasn't able to make it respond with a proper drum sound.

The coin was stuck to the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum, but it wasn't having any amazing effects. The Drum wasn't being crushed; not that he wanted that. Han Sen didn't want the Drum to get damaged, of course.

"Reaching the number ten with Saving Money is all I can do. Even if I can take it further, that won't be much of an increase. It looks like this thing really is King class. My power isn't enough to make a sound." Despite his failure, Han Sen wasn't disappointed. He only wanted to take the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum away with him so he could have the time to claim it in the future.

Han Sen thought for a moment, then cut his finger. He melted his crystal blood and dropped a little onto the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum.

He saw the blood slowly melted into the scorpion symbol, but still, it took a while to absorb.

But it actually was absorbing. Although it hadn't melted completely into the symbol just yet, there was a weird red spot on the scorpion's back. It didn't match with the image.

"If blood is able to melt into it, then I'm sure I will be able to infect it. That would make gaining the Drum's approval far easier," Han Sen thought to himself. He took the two Jade Drums with him as he left the cave. He went looking for Bao'er and Huangfu Jing.

Now that Han Sen had the white Jade Drum's approval, the three of them could each take a drum and leave.

After Han Sen found them, they all headed for the Thousand Treasures base that was located on the planet. He wanted to leave with the Jade Drums as soon as he could.

Han Sen knew that it was exceedingly rare for three people to appear with Jade Drums all at once, and that made him certain that the trip home wouldn't be a safe one.

Han Sen was not afraid of trouble, of course. If he had been, he wouldn't have come in the first place. But this wasn't just any trouble. This had the potential to be Big Trouble. Three Jade Drums might entice many sonic-practicing elites into coming after them. Any enemies that started hunting them would have to be dealt with.

In the Planet Jade Drum's base, a half-humanoid and half-snake Ghana King was in the middle of registering his claim on a Gold Drum.

All the elites standing around were looking jealous of the Ghana King, who was registering the highly-coveted Gold Drum. The Ghana King wasn't happy with his prize, however. In fact, he looked rather glum.

His target had been a Jade Drum, but after ten days of searching, he had only managed to find a Gold Drum. That wasn't what he wanted, and it made him ill.

A beautiful man with butterfly wings walked in front of the Ghana and laughed. "Stephen, I see that you found a Gold Drum."

"Sonic Butterfly King, didn't you just get a Gold Drum, as well?" Stephen looked at his Gold Drum and smiled.

Sonic Butterfly King sighed and said, "This planet still has Jade Drums, but too many people are digging for them. They are being taken faster than they are being birthed. They aren't easy to find anymore."
