Chapter 2515: Pick One
"Fortune teller, where will you run this time?" A woman was gripping a knife in a rock-steady hand. She was holding the knife to an old man's neck.
Cough, cough!
"What is this? Put your knife down. We are old friends. We should talk about this," the man said indignantly.
"If I don't keep this knife to your neck, I'm afraid you might just run away," Yisha growled to the old man.
"Why would I? Seeing you actually makes me very happy. Why would I run?" The old man forced a smile. His fingers tried to touch the knife against his neck, hoping to move it away.
"Stop talking crap. I have been looking for you for the longest time. You must pay the terms of our bargain," Yisha said emotionlessly. The knife was still against the old man's neck. The old man dropped his hands away from the blade.
"You're talking about that? You should have told me sooner. I found out a long time, but because you weren't looking for me, I thought you didn't need the information anymore." The old man looked as if he had just woken up.
"Where is he?" Yisha didn't want to explain. She had been looking for this old man for so long. Finding him hadn't been easy.
The old man seemed to be sad, and he said, "I made the calculation far too long ago. He is long gone by now."
Seeing Yisha's expression darken, the old man quickly said, "But don't worry, I'll calculate a new bearing for you at once. Three minutes. Give me three minutes, and I will give you Dollar's location."
Hearing the old man say this, Yisha's mood lightened a little.
"I will calculate it now. Just stop waving that knife around. You are such a pretty girl, but no one will marry you if you behave like this." The old man carefully pushed the knife away.
This time, Yisha didn't resist. She slid the knife back into its sheath, then turned her expressionless face back to the old man. "You have three minutes. If I don't know where Dollar is in three minutes, I am going to make you marry someone."
"Me?" The old man was shocked, and he didn't know what Yisha meant.
"I will make you the son-in-law to the king of hell," Yisha grunted.
The old man smiled wryly. He lifted his hand and began the calculation. He raised his head to Yisha and said, "I lost the bet. I have to admit it. I have your answer, but I also have two locations. One is Dollar's location, and the other is your student's location. You know the rules. I only lost to you once, so you can only choose one location. Which do you wish to know more?"
"Han Sen is still alive?" Yisha frowned.
"He is for now, but he isn't doing well. If no one goes to save him, I'm afraid…" The old man stopped talking. He just shook his head and sighed.
"Can he still be saved?" Yisha asked with a frown.
"He can if you go there." The old man nodded.
"Where is he now?" Yisha asked.
"My lady, are Dragon One and Dia Robber really going to kill the Gold Armor General?" In the core area, a maid-looking woman of the Kate was curiously looking at a woman in a yellow shirt. They were on a ship.
"They're spending a lot of manpower on this project. It cannot just be for show." The lady in yellow was attractive and composed. She seemed young, probably no more than twenty years old. But her eyes were alert and intelligent, as if they could see through everything.
"The Gold Armor General is as good as a deified xenogeneic outside the core. Are they really going to kill it? I have heard that they have hired someone called Dollar, and they seem to have high expectations of him. I don't get it, though. He hails from some small, nameless race. He achieved first place in the Marquise bracket of the Geno Being Scroll fights, but that's it. The evolution of his genes can't be that good. Why would geniuses like Dragon One and Dia Robber place their faith in a guy like that?" the maid asked, still not understanding.
The yellow-clothed woman laughed and said, "They're collecting all the strength that they can. Expensive things are often useful, but we do not know if Dragon One and Dia Robber are using their resources correctly."
"My lady, Little Butterfly doesn't understand this. In your territory, you can choose geniuses of the Extreme King, and some of them are already deified. That would save you trouble. Why are you giving up that option, though? To pick a silkworm of some other race? Dragon One and Dia Robber are strong, but they are half-deified. And even when compared to other half-deifieds, they are still worse than the likes of the Extreme King. Am I right?" the maid asked with wide eyes.
The yellow-clothed woman blinked and said, "I didn't say I would choose the Extreme King. It's just that the blood of the Extreme King is quite strong. After all these years, however, I believe they have peaked. Even if they could help me, they cannot improve much more. I prefer someone who can keep improving."
"Will that make a difference? They will reach the same strength as the Extreme King in the end." Little Butterfly didn't understand.
The yellow-clothed woman laughed. "It is just like how some people enjoy buying adult dogs to watch over their gardens. I would prefer buying a young one and raising it myself. Watching things grow is fun."
Little Butterfly seemed to understand this, and so she said, "You mean that Dragon One and Dia Robber are like young puppies? And the Extreme King are adult dogs?"
"Something like that." The yellow-clothed woman laughed again. "It isn't just Dragon One and Dia Robber, though. Other races could fit the bill, too. There are many different breeds of racing dogs; you just need to find the one with the most potential."
"So, which do you think has more potential? Dragon One or Dia Robber?" Little Butterfly was curious.
"Neither of them are bad. Their potential shouldn't be any worse than the Extreme King's princes and princesses. But they aren't the best." The yellow-clothed woman sighed. "Out of all the people I've seen, the best still has to be Sky Palace's Yu Shanxin. Lone Bamboo isn't bad, but he is probably taken."
"Isn't that a bad thing?" Little Butterfly asked with shock.
"It isn't that bad. This universe has no lack of geniuses. I just need some more time to find them. Let's watch Dragon One and Dia Robber for now. Perhaps we might learn something interesting." The woman's eyes were like stars. She looked at the sky, thought of something interesting, and smiled. It had a beautiful curve, and she spoke to herself, "Very High's forgotten love. Although they have big hearts, they are boring."
Many of the higher races knew Dragon One and Dia Robber were preparing to defeat the Gold Armor General. And so, their every move was watched.
When the time for respite was up, Han Sen followed Dia Robber and Dragon One to the system with the Gold Armor General.
They had eleven half-deifieds with them and six Kings. Most of them were Dragons or Destroyed. There were only two different races.
Although Dragon One and Dia Robber could enlist the help of more half-deifieds, they didn't. The success of this mission wouldn't rest on the strength of numbers. The trust and cooperation between the fighters were the most important factors.

Chapter 2516: Gold Armor General
Dragon One and Dia Robber knew many people were watching them, but they didn't care.
Killing the Gold Armor General was an incredibly ambitious goal, and it would be a cooperative effort. Keeping their preparations under wraps would be almost impossible, so they didn't bother to try.
"Brother Dollar, according to the plan, we will deal with the Gold Armor General. All you need to do is find the right opportunity for your attack. You need to have pinpoint accuracy. If the opportunity is squandered, there won't be a second chance," Dragon One reminded Han Sen.
Dragon One wasn't trying to be annoying; this was simply a huge deal. The Dragon had already paid a high price for this operation. And the thousand King class xenogeneic genes he was giving Han Sen was not a small sum. They couldn't afford to waste so much preparation and resources.
"Sure." Han Sen nodded.
He wasn't someone who usually took on employers, but they really were paying him a lot of xenogeneic genes. It wasn't difficult to give them verbal confirmation, once again, that he would do his job. He had to satisfy their anxiety.
"Crown prince, Dragon One and Dia Robber are going now," Nightmare Knight said, as he bowed before Bai Wan Jie.
"Let's go. Let us see how much they can accomplish." Bai Wan Jie moved out to lead the members of royal knights towards the region that the Gold General Armor occupied.
"My lady, this place is very popular. There are many familiar faces around." A small ship was parked near a mountain that looked like an asteroid. Little Butterfly, the maid, looked out across the galaxy and spoke.
"Killing the Gold Armor General is a huge goal. It is understandable that Kings and half-deifieds from all over have come to watch. Who wouldn't want to be here in case they discover so way to take advantage of the situation?" the yellow-clothed woman asked in a toneless voice.
"Are you saying that they've come to steal the Gold Armor General from Dragon One?" Little Butterfly was shocked.
"Not quite, but most people are sure to have that thought in their minds," the yellow-clothed woman said. Her eyes brightened. Dragon One and Dia Robber entered the system.
The yellow-clothed woman looked at Dragon One and then at Dia Robber. Then, her eyes stopped on a person wearing pitch-black armor. His face was hidden.
"Is that Dollar?" the yellow-clothed woman asked herself. She stared at him.
As the woman focused on him, he suddenly turned around and seemed to look back at her. The woman was stunned. The man in black armor had turned his head in her direction, but he didn't even pause as he continued flying forward with the others.
"Does he know that I was watching him, or was that just a coincidence?" The woman frowned.
She had looked at Han Sen with her eyes, not activating any special abilities. Even a deified creature shouldn't have been able to tell she was watching him.
But it seemed like the figure in black armor had turned to meet her gaze. Whether it was on purpose or an accident was unknown.
"Maybe I'm overthinking this." The woman shook her head. Her body and geno arts were special. Noticing her gaze should have been impossible.
Han Sen had been flying forward with the others when he felt as if he was being watched. Although many people were keeping an eye on them, this particular stare felt different. That was why Han Sen turned to take a look.
When he looked, all he saw was a belt of asteroids. He knew the watcher was somewhere among the floating rocks, but he also knew that the stare hadn't been hostile. Because it seemed non-threatening, Han Sen didn't spend much time searching.
The woman watched for a while and frowned. Even with her eyesight, she couldn't tell the strength of Han Sen's genes. This surprised her.
"This Dollar is intriguing. I cannot wait to see the limit of his power," the woman murmured to herself with interest.
After Dragon One and the others entered the system, they headed for a meteorite. The Gold Armor General always stayed near asteroids. It was a space xenogeneic, so it wasn't interested in living on a planet.
Han Sen was ordered to wait near the outer edge of the asteroids. Dragon One and Dia Robber went deeper into the asteroid belt where the asteroids were clustered more tightly. There were too many of the rocks for Han Sen to could accurately. But not long later, a gold swordlight flashed through the asteroids, parting them.
And then, Han Sen saw Dragon One and the others retreat from the asteroid belt. Following them was a three-meter-tall golden body.
The gold body wasn't very large, but it was obscenely powerful. The gold armor made the being look like a robot. It seemed heavy and powerful, and there were many gold cogwheels and pipes across its surface. It was like a gold robot warrior.
On its back was a red cape that looked as if it had been made of blood. Its hands were clutching a gold greatsword, and the blade of the sword was taller than the fiend's body.
That greatsword was different from normal greatswords, too. Instead of being a single piece of metal, the inner portion of the blade was filled with gold cogwheels. The outer edge of the blade was serrated like a saw.
When the gold cogwheels inside the blade spun, the teeth on the edge of the blade began to rotate. It was like a giant gold chainsaw.
In the center of the sword was a yellow crystal. It looked like it held the essence of lightning inside it. It was the type of lightning that struck when things were born.
Looking at the Gold Armor General was a very weird experience. It seemed both lifelike and soulless, just like a robot. It was hard to say if it was a living thing or an actual robot.
This was the first time Han Sen had seen a xenogeneic as special as this. He had encountered many metallic xenogeneics before, but it was a first for him to see a xenogeneic that was half biological and half robotic.
Seeing its blood cape and saw-like greatsword, he knew the enemy was very unique.
The Gold Armor General's eyes flashed gold. Due to the fact it had a helmet, Han Sen couldn't tell if the enemy had a mouth. But he didn't hear it make a sound as it swung its sword at Dragon One.
Han Sen could see clearly that the creature's gold greatsword was like a saw. The swordlight it unleashed spun like mad. It looked as if it could cut through the fabric of space. Wherever the swordlight went, space would break and cracks would form in the nether.
But when it slashed downwards, cracks spread rapidly through space until they looked like galaxies in the sky.
The swordlight came for Dragon One. At the speed they were moving, Dragon One and his party would be unable to dodge swordlights like those.
As Han Sen wondered how Dragon One was going to block that scary swordlight, a half-deified Destroyed opened his area. It wrapped around Dragon One and the others, then disappeared. The next second, Dragon One and the others reappeared right next to the Gold Armor General.
"Group Galaxy Teleport," Han Sen breathed in surprise. He didn't know the Destroyed had geniuses like that.

Chapter 2517: Surround and Kill the Xenogeneic
"It finally begins." Bai Wan Jie looked at the people fighting in space. His eyes gleamed with excitement.
The moment Dragon One and the Gold Armor General appeared, the Gold Armor General's saw sword was buzzing. The swordlight flashed toward them.
Pang!
The swordlight flew right past them, cutting their bodies in half. The people who were spectating the battle felt their hearts run cold.
The next second, they realized that the fighters themselves hadn't been slashed in half; the swordlight had only cut through the shadows that they left behind. Dragon One's real body had already moved. He and the others were now standing behind the Gold Armor General.
Almost at the same time this happened, Dragon One and Dia Robber used their areas. A dozen areas combined to shield them from the strong Gold Armor General. It was like they had encased themselves in dozens of layers of crystal.
The Gold Armor General's eyes flashed. It moved forward as it swung its gold greatsword, and the dozen hastily-combined areas broke like shattered glass. Their protection couldn't stop the attacks of the Gold Armor General.
But because Dragon One and the others instantly separated, the Gold Armor General's attack was unable to hurt everybody. The strike swept toward a few of the Kings in the front.
At the same time, the Kings and half-deifieds in the back gathered up power. All their beams of light struck the body of the Gold Armor General. The Gold Armor General obviously didn't intend to dodge. It allowed those beams of light to strike its armor, and not even a scorch mark was left in their wake.
The Kings in front had no chance to dodge the creature's counterattack. They were struck by the swordlight, but again, their bodies became shadows. They were teleported away by a half-deified who was neither one of the Destroyed nor one of the Dragon.
This all seemed to happen slowly, but from start to finish, it took less than a second. There was a half-deified there that was well-versed in teleportation techniques, and a half-deified who was skilled in cloning. They were cooperating together, and they managed to save the Kings from the Gold Armor General's attack.
Dragon One and the others surrounded and attacked the Gold Armor General, but the monster's gold armor seemed impervious to their weapons. They were unable to break through its defense, which rendered their attacks useless.
But as Han Sen watched the fight from a distance, he saw that there was a strange symbol of light on the Gold Armor General's back. Dragon One's attacks were useless against the Gold Armor General, but every time he hit the Gold Armor General, that spell became brighter.
Han Sen looked closer, and he realized what that spell was for. It was a skill similar to Dollar's Saving Money. The symbol of light on the creature's back would absorb whatever power was used to attack it. Then, it would transform that power into something it could use itself.
A dozen elites were continuing to attack the Gold Armor General, and their efforts were making the spell grow brighter and brighter. But Han Sen couldn't see if it was affecting the Gold Armor General or not.
The Gold Armor General swung its sword, but its attackers stayed ahead of it with their teleportation and shadows. Dragon One and the others had yet to be killed.
After a few slashes, the Gold Armor General seemed to be growing impatient. It stopped swinging its sword. It spun the handle of its weapon and raised it upward. The creature lifted the sword above its head.
The gold greatsword's cogwheels spun, but the saw teeth on the outer edge of the sword stopped spinning. All of a sudden, countless raging swordlights were unleashed.
The swordlights came out like a net of lasers, blanketing the entire sky. Everything below was sliced into pieces.
Countless asteroids were reduced to rubble, and even a small planet had the misfortune of being caught in the swordlights. Dragon One and the others found themselves within the radius of that sword net, too.
Dragon One's team wasn't afraid, though. It appeared as if they knew the Gold Armor General would perform a move like this.
One of the half-deified Dragons moved at the same time the Gold Armor General did. It used an area to encompass Dragon One and the others.
The scary substance chains that formed the sword net landed on Dragon One's team, but their bodies had become like shadows again. The sword net slid right through their bodies, and it was unable to hurt them.
Just as the sword net passed by them, their bodies started to become solid once more. The half-deified who had just used that area looked pale, though. A trickle of blood snaked down from his lips. It appeared as if using an area like that brought harm upon him.
Dragon One and the others tried to buy time, and so they attacked Gold Armor General again. The light on the back of the Gold Armor General was incredibly bright. It was like a small sun.
The yellow-clothed woman had been watching all the while, and she nodded thoughtfully. "I'm surprised they found people with Group Galaxy Teleport, Mirror Doppelganger, and Ghost Shadow. As long as those three powers are used in concert, they can guarantee that Dragon One's people won't be killed by the Gold Armor General. They really did come prepared. But these three powers cost a lot of energy, so they won't last forever. The Gold Armor General doesn't look too angry yet. I think they can last ten minutes, all in all. I don't know if they will survive any longer than that."
Little Butterfly didn't understand, and so she asked, "Even if they survive for a short time, won't this all be rather pointless if they can't kill the Gold Armor General?"
The yellow-clothed woman pointed at the Gold Armor General's back. The glowing symbol now looked like a little sun. "This is a skill of the Dragon. It's an Evilbreaker spell. When the strength accumulates to a level, even a deified elite will be affected by it. It will make them pause for a brief while. And in regards to how long the Gold General Armor will be stopped, it all depends on how much power they can gather up in the time they have. I don't think its effects will last any longer than one or two seconds."
"What is the point in doing all of this to stop Gold Armor General for a measly two seconds? Their attacks won't be able to break Gold Armor General's armor. It will be pointless if they only buy themselves two seconds. Even if they had two hours or two days, it would still be useless." Little Butterfly still didn't understand.
The yellow-clothed woman looked at Han Sen on the battlefield. "Dragon One must have placed his hopes on Dollar. When Gold Armor General stops, Dollar will perform the deadly strike. If I am correct, the item on his waist is a deified treasure of the Dragon. It is called the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger. If it was used by a deified, it could easily break through that armor."
After pausing, the yellow-clothed woman went on to say, "But if it is used by a King class, it is unlikely that it will puncture the armor. I bet it can only be used to pierce the Gold Armor General's eyes. The eyes must be their target. I cannot be sure if Dollar can succeed here, though. Even if he can, piercing the eyes won't kill the Gold Armor General. Dragon One must have another ace up his sleeve."
As she said this, Dragon One and the others reached the end of their ability to hold on. The two who used Galaxy Teleport and Mirror Doppelganger were pale, and their bodies were shaking. They had used these skills ten times, and the radius of the areas they cast was huge. They were tired, and they could no longer go on.
The half-deified using Ghost Shadow was even worse off. After he made Dragon One and the others ghosts, he didn't have enough power to totally erase the substance chains. The effects would land on him, and after using three Ghost Shadows, he was bleeding out of all seven of his holes.

Chapter 2518: The Plan Fails
Bai Wan Jie looked on from far away. Behind him were a hundred royal knights. They were all lined up in a formation, and the weakest knight in their ranks was King class.
Very few races in the universe could gather up an army of knights like that. And Bai Wan Jie had only brought a small segment of their knights.
"Dragon One and Dia Robber really have put a great deal of effort into this, but they put all their hope in Dollar. Letting him deliver the single most important hit, that was just too careless of them. If that strike was being delivered by Yu Shanxin, it would be a guaranteed hit. It is a shame they got Dollar instead. He isn't even half-deified. This won't turn out well for them," Bai Wan Jie said grimly.
The yellow-clothed woman's eyes moved. She quietly said, "This is the time Dragon One and the others reach the max."
As the woman spoke, Dragon One was also shouting, "Dollar! Get ready to strike."
Han Sen heard the call and immediately pulled out the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger. He sprinted into the battlefield and deployed his Dongxuan Area. The awareness of the Dongxuan Area rolled through his mind.
Blergh!
The user of Ghost Shadow activated his area again. He helped Dragon One and the others avoid the sword net, but he was bleeding badly. Blood gushed from every orifice in his body, and after this last use of his power, he passed out.
The half-deified user of Mirror Doppelganger shone a light on him, bringing the man's true self close and leaving a shadow in his place. His mouth was bleeding, and his face was all grey.
"Back!" Dragon One shouted, Dragon blood spilling over his own lips as he did. That Dragon blood became a Dragon shadow that flew at the Gold Armor General. After it landed upon Gold Armor General's back, it melted into the spell. The spell became red.
When the Dragon blood Evilbreaker spell was activated, the Gold Armor General became incredibly angry. The yellow saw-like greatsword was lifted, and the fiend drew a circle above its head. The circle of swordlight blasted out like a shockwave.
Dragon One and the others were teleported away by the Galaxy teleporter, dodging that scary, rain-like swordlight. At the same time, the Gold Armor General's body froze in place. He remained in the same position, with the golden greatsword held up over his head.
"This is it!" Dragon One shouted with insane glee.
The Dragon blood Evilbreaker powers had activated before there was a single casualty. Right now, everything was copacetic, and everything had gone according to plan. Now, everything rested on Dollar's shoulders. If Dollar could blind the Gold Armor General, then their killing of the beast was guaranteed.
But no one could be certain Dollar was up to the task, or that he'd be able to perform his assigned duty.
After all, Han Sen didn't have much time. He had to make his way past the rain of swordlight and get close enough to the Gold Armor General to blind both of its eyes. Doing all this would be very difficult, probably too difficult. Dragon One and Dia Robber weren't completely sure that he could do it.
Of course, if they hadn't been confident, they wouldn't have hired him.
Han Sen's body flashed toward Gold Armor General with blinding speed. When Han Sen came before the rain of swordlight, the space around his body warped slightly. He used a teleportation power. Although his abilities of teleportation took some time to prepare, Han Sen had put that into motion earlier. When he reached the rain of swordlight, his body was already in teleportation mode. He teleported behind the rain of swordlight, and he kept flying toward the Gold Armor General.
Dragon One was so excited to see this. His Dragon blood Evilbreaker spell was something he was very confident in. He had gathered up enough power to stop their foe for two whole seconds.
Han Sen moved very smoothly, and within less than a second, he was hovering directly before the Gold Armor General.
Because it had taken him less than a second to reach the Gold Armor General, he had at least one second to blind the Gold Armor General's eyes.
If this was a normal xenogeneic with King class power, Dollar could stab it multiple times. Although the Gold Armor General's eyes were its weak spot, they wouldn't be easy to pierce through. Dragon One was hoping Dollar would be able to blind both of its eyes in that sole second he had. Things would go awry if he was unable to do that.
Bai Wan Jie and the yellow-clothed woman were watching the show, their eyes focused on Han Sen. They understood that a single blow would determine the entire outcome of the battle. Dragon One's success in hunting the Gold Armor General now depended on Dollar's strike.
Suddenly, the yellow-clothed woman shifted her eyes. She looked disappointed.
As Han Sen drew within striking range of the Gold Armor General, the monster's body hissed like a steam machine. The pipes across its form released gold flames.
The stationary body suddenly moved. Its gold eyes turned to stare at Han Sen in front of it. Its gold greatsword began to move through the air, striking downwards.
The cogwheels spun, and the blade was groaning. A gold swordlight was emitted, unleashed like a chainsaw. The entire asteroid belt shook, and the darkness of space moaned. The realm was breaking under the force of that gold swordlight.
"It's over… the calculations were incorrect. We underestimated the Gold Armor General. That Dragon blood Evilbreaker power was only able to stop the fiend for a second." Dragon One suddenly felt overwhelmingly cold. His stomach turned.
Dia Robber and the others were in shock, too. The pipes on Gold Armor General's back were spitting out gold fire. They broke the Dragon blood Evilbreaker power, while the blood cape on his back rippled and waved. The cape was dyed a golden color.
"It's all over." Everyone looked hopeless.
They had known from the beginning that if the Gold Armor General recovered its movements while Dollar was next to it, Dollar was a dead man. He would be unable to finish the plan of destroying the Gold Armor General's eyes. It was impossible to tell if he would even get out of there alive.
He was too close to the Gold Armor General, and his entire body was barely the size of the Gold Armor General's arm. Even if Galaxy teleportation was used, he couldn't be brought back in time.
"That is what happens when someone misjudges his own power." Bai Wan Jie sighed in his heart.
Dollar was quite the character. If the crown prince had been able to hire him, he wouldn't mind feeding another mouth. But Dollar had come and stolen his business instead. The Extreme King wouldn't be sorry when he died. Nightmare, who was next to Bai Wan Jie, was wondering if now was the time to strike. Dragon One's hunting plan had failed.
The yellow-clothed woman felt dismal and disappointed. She was interested in Dollar, and she wanted to see what he was really like. But because of Dragon One's miscalculation, the plan had failed. The Gold Armor General was stronger than assumed, and Dragon One had placed Dollar in danger, directly in front of the Gold Armor General. There was nowhere to run or hide.

Chapter 2519: Killing a Deified
Han Sen squinted. Instead of falling back, he concentrated on the Gold Armor General in front of him, with his Purple-Eye Butterfly spinning like mad.
He had known before he approached that there was something wrong. Although the Gold Armor General had been frozen by the Dragon blood Evilbreaker power, Han Sen's Dongxuan Area showed him that its self cogwheel was still spinning slowly. The beast hadn't been captured.
But even so, Han Sen didn't want to retreat. He went after the Gold Armor General anyway. Everyone was watching as the scary gold greatsword came down, its buzzing, saw-like swordlight tearing through everything there was. It instantly landed on Dollar's head.
There was nowhere to run. From what they could see, even if Dollar tried to teleport away, he stood no chance of surviving that strike. Dollar's teleportation speed was too slow, anyway.
But Han Sen didn't plan on dodging. A white light glowed from his eyes, and his body turned into a shadow in front of everyone. He was like a god hanging in space.
The gold greatsword's power was sufficient to break a planet in two, but when it landed on him, it went right through. It was like his body didn't exist. His existence was nothing more than a shadow.
"Is that a shadow or a clone?" People wondered in shock.
But a second later, the people watching the battle became even more astounded. The gold greatsword was slashing through Dollar's body with god-like power. Dollar seemed insubstantial, but his shadow-like form was still clutching the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger. The dagger struck at the Gold Armor General's left eye.
The dagger shone brightly. It pierced through the crystal wall shielding the eye and went right into the eyeball. Gold blood came gushing out of it.
Everyone was shocked. They couldn't believe their own eyes.
"Impossible… If this was just a shadow or a doppelganger, it couldn't keep attacking… and it couldn't wield power like this…" Bai Wan Jie was shocked, as well.
The woman in yellow squinted. She looked at Han Sen and whispered to herself, "It looks kind of like the Extreme King's Ghost King Body, but it is different. What kind of power is this?"
The two half-deifieds who used Mirror Doppelganger and Ghost Shadow were frozen. They knew that what they were seeing wasn't something similar to their powers; otherwise, Han Sen wouldn't have been able to attack in his current form.
Unless this was Dollar's real body, he wouldn't have been able to use the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger to perforate the Gold Armor General's eyes.
If this was Dollar's real body, though, it meant that the Gold Armor General's power was unable to land on him. That was unbelievable.
Dragon One was as shocked as he was delighted. His plan had failed. They were on the cusp of losing everything. The five hundred King class xenogeneic genes and the money he had spent to hire the aid of a few other races would have also cost his people an arm and a leg.
But things had taken a drastic turn. Dollar was facing the Gold Armor General alone, and he had managed to pierce one of its eyes. On top of that, he was still safe.
"This guy is too scary." Dia Robber looked gloomy. He stared at Dollar.
The Gold Armor General roared in response to its injury. While it roared, the pipes on its body kept spitting streams of gold fire. The creature swung its saw greatsword wildly, wanting to kill Han Sen.
And yet Han Sen just stood there, taking each strike without making an effort to evade them. Han Sen thrust the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger the moment the gold greatsword went right through him. Even space shuddered and cracked under the power of the Gold Armor General's mighty strike, but Han Sen's body remained perfectly intact. The dagger in his hand punched a hole in the Gold Armor General's other eye.
Everyone was petrified when they saw the Gold Armor General swinging his greatsword like crazy. He was smashing the planets all around, breaking them in a frenzy. And yet, despite all that, he was unable to deliver any damage to Han Sen.
Dollar looked like some kind of god as he stood before the Gold Armor General. He was able to ignore that scary gold greatsword and the swordlights that it unleashed, focusing purely on stabbing the Gold Armor General's eye repeatedly. The Gold Armor General's eyes kept bleeding. Even the brain juice behind it was starting to leak out in a steady stream.
No one dared to believe what their eyes were telling them. A King class was killing the Gold Armor General in front of them. The Gold Armor General was enraged, and yet it was helpless. It roared hopelessly, unleashing frightening powers. But before that man who was like a god, all its attempts to fight back were for naught. It kept getting stabbed in the eye, over and over.
Dollar worked methodically, as if he wasn't stabbing a scary deified xenogeneic. Rather, he looked like he was just repeatedly prodding a lifeless slab of pork.
As he stared, Dragon One's mask of cool detachment slipped from his face. He had no idea how to react to what was happening, and it almost slipped his mind that he had to perform the final killing strike after Dollar blinded both of the Gold Armor General's eyes.
It wasn't as if he had forgotten his role in all this. It was just that Dollar really had surprised him. If it wasn't for the fact that deified elites couldn't enter the core area, he would have easily believed that Dollar was actually an incredible elite who had simply disguised his power.
It wasn't just Dragon One who was shocked, either. Everyone stared at the battle in silent awe. Even the Extreme King crown prince Bai Wan Jie, who had seen many incredible things, had his mouth wide open in the shock.
The yellow-clothed woman was astonished, too. Her pink lips opened. She could barely believe that the Gold Armor General was being stabbed in such a fashion.
Han Sen didn't have the power to destroy or kill a deified xenogeneic on his own, but with the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger, killing a deified xenogeneic would be possible. It was still a very difficult task, but this deified had a well-defined weakness. That convergence of factors gave Han Sen a very good chance of killing it.
But after he stabbed it a dozen times, the Gold Armor General still wasn't dead yet. The presence emitted by its body had grown even fiercer.
"Is that enough?" Han Sen turned around and asked Dragon One.
Dragon One was in awe, and he acted as if he had just woken up. He quickly pulled out an item and aimed it at the Gold Armor General. Then, he shouted to Han Sen, "Quickly, get out there!"
"It is fine. Just attack!" Han Sen said simply.
Dragon One didn't hesitate. Dollar wasn't concerned about the Gold Armor General's attacks, so there wasn't much need to concern himself with whatever was coming next.
With that thought, Dragon One activated the item in his hand. A dragon's roar came from his hand, then transformed into a dragon shadow that raged toward the Gold Armor General. It went into the ruined eye sockets of the Gold Armor General, which were still bleeding.
Boom!
When the dragon shadow came back out of the Gold Armor General's eyes, it did so with a scary explosion. The blood-like fire came surging out of the eyes like an erupting volcano.
The scary red flames fountained into Han Sen. But even so, they went right through Han Sen. They couldn't affect him.
The Gold Armor General had taken their attack, and under its force, its head was reduced to little more than mud. But it still shook and moan. Even that attack wasn't enough to kill it.
Han Sen swung his dagger to end the last of its life force. The fire of their enemy's life was extinguished.

Chapter 2520: Wan'er Wakes Up
"Deified Xenogeneic hunted: Gold Robot General. Xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Gold Robot General beast soul."
Han Sen was thrilled. "I got its beast soul. Am I on a lucky streak to keep receiving their beast souls these days?"
When the Gold Robot General fell, its gold greatsword dropped from its loosened grip, too. Dragon One and the others were all ecstatic. After seeing this, they all ran up to Han Sen.
Bai Wan Jie watched Han Sen from afar, with his face cycling through a variety of different emotions. The members of his royal knights were all frozen, and none of them could speak.
The results of the battle were far too surprising. The Gold Armor General was considered too difficult to kill, and yet Dollar had single-handedly secured the victory. Watching Han Sen at that moment was like looking at a god and a demon. It left a really deep impression in their brains.
"What just happened?"
"That Dollar just soloed the Gold Armor General. Am I seeing this correctly?"
"It was too f*cking scary. Dollar is too powerful. He just soloed a deified as a King. Can any of the Extreme King do such a thing?"
"Even someone else could do this, there's no way they could do it as casually as Dollar did. He must be a deified pretending to be a King."
After the King class audience watched the fight, they were all left looking shocked.
The yellow-clothed woman looked at Han Sen. Her pretty eyes had become unreadable as she spoke to herself. "What is up with this Dollar character? What is his power? Interesting. How interesting. Is he stronger than Yu Shanxin?"
"Brother Dollar, we couldn't have done this without you…" Dragon One was so shocked and happy, he wasn't quite sure what to say. If not for Dollar, the Dragons would surely have lost everything. Dollar had managed to pull them out of the fire and secure victory for them all by himself.
At that moment, Dragon One was only thinking that the one thousand xenogeneic genes he owed were well worth it.
"When can you pay me the second batch of five hundred xenogeneic genes?" Han Sen asked, looking at Dragon One. After fulfilling the work he was tasked to perform, he required his payment.
"Tomorrow… No, give us half an hour. We will deliver them right away!" Dragon One had come to kill a deified xenogeneic. He couldn't have brought them with him. He immediately told his Dragon subordinates to retrieve the xenogeneic genes that the man was owed.
"Brother Dollar, are you interested in striking another deal?" Dia Robber approached, lowering his voice as he spoke to Han Sen.
Han Sen shook his head. "I have things to do. I don't have time."
Dia Robber felt so annoyed. The reason why he let Dragon One ask Dollar first was that he himself wasn't confident in Dollar's abilities. He wanted to see how strong Dollar was before deciding to hire him.
But God knew Dollar was insanely strong. After all, he had practically killed the Gold Armor General all alone. Now that Dia Robber wanted to hire him and was unsure if he could, he was really regretting his previous hesitation.
"If you have the time, Brother Dollar, we can discuss payment," Dia Robber said hopefully, praying he would still have a chance to hire Dollar.
"Sure. I will contact you sometime down the line," Han Sen said.
Han Sen handed the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger back to Dragon One. The Dragons quickly brought the other five hundred xenogeneic genes over. Han Sen took the xenogeneic genes back to the core area hall. Then, he placed them all inside Destiny's Tower.
"With one thousand xenogeneic genes, I can max out one King area, at least." Han Sen observed the mountain of King xenogeneic genes he had piled inside his Destiny's Tower. It gave him a warm and comforting feeling. He sighed and said, "It is nice to always have a little in the bank."
Seeing so many xenogeneic genes all in one place was enough to make Han Sen start drooling. Then, he suddenly heard Wan'er make some moaning sounds on a lower floor. When he went to see her, he saw her eyelids flicker. It looked as if she was going to wake up.
Han Sen was shocked. He went back to the white whale and brought Wan'er out of Destiny's Tower.
Earlier, Han Sen had used his super god spirit to kill the Gold Robot General. He felt that Wan'er's effect on him was weaker now. Her power was no longer canceling his super god spirit straight away. Han Sen thought that was weird.
Originally, he only wanted to use his super god spirit body to blind the Gold Robot General's eyes. He hadn't known it would last so long and enable him to do as much as he had.
Now, it seemed as if Wan'er waking up was in some way related to what had happened.
Wan'er lay on the bed as her eyes slowly opened. When she saw that Han Sen was there, she suddenly jumped forward. She wrapped her arms around his neck and curled against his chest like a cat. She closed her eyes and gleefully said, "Big Brother."
Han Sen didn't know what to do, and he pushed her back a bit. He had yet to learn why Wan'er was so insistent about calling him "big brother." He thought that having her as a sister was something he would probably remember.
"Ahem, ahem. Wan'er, do you remember your big brother?" As he said that, even Han Sen thought his choice of words was a bit strange.
"Of course I recognize my big brother." Wan'er leaned toward Han Sen. She closed her eyes as if she was dreaming and said, "I don't ever want to be apart from you. I want to be with my big brother forever."
"Good Wan'er. Your big brother wants to be with you forever, too." Han Sen patted Wan'er on the back like she was a child. And then he asked, "Do you remember my name?"
"Of course I remember. How could I forget my big brother's name? I would never forget my big brother's name." Wan'er rubbed her face against Han Sen's chest in another feline motion.
"Then, what is my name?" Han Sen asked in a rush.
Wan'er raised her head. She looked at Han Sen with confusion and said, "Has big brother forgotten his name?"
"Of course I remember my name! I'm testing you." Han Sen felt as if he was some kindergarten teacher.
Upon hearing Han Sen say this, Wan'er's face started to become red. It was so pretty, and she was looked like a piece of crystal that was about to cry. "Big brother doesn't believe me?"
"Of course I believe you, Wan'er! I am just kidding with you." Han Sen felt his resolve soften, and so he opted to try and comfort her.
Wan'er laughed. She placed her cheek against Han Sen's chest, closed her eyes, and said, "I want to be with you like I was before. I want to just chat and travel with you all around the universe. But Wan'er feels so tired. I want to sleep a lot."
Han Sen really wanted to know the name of Wan'er's big brother, but he didn't know how to ask. He was in a rush about it, too.
Han Sen felt as if dealing with Wan'er might be harder than dealing with a deified xenogeneic. Dealing with a deified xenogeneic might at least give him a chance, but facing Wan'er, he couldn't even use his full strength. It would be like punching cotton.
"Big brother… can we not go back to Sacred? Just the two of us together, forever… Together, forever," Wan'er mumbled dreamily, and her voice became quieter and quieter.
Han Sen froze. "Is she really from Sacred? If she is, then who is her big brother? Is it someone else from Sacred?"

Chapter 2521: Armored Beast
Han Sen still wanted to ask Wan'er about a few things, but it really did appear that she had just fallen asleep again. She looked exhausted, but happiness still glowed from her face. She lay against Han Sen's chest, curled up in a merry little ball. She was like a helpless kitten.
Han Sen tried to wake her up, but there was no reaction. She must have been a very deep sleeper.
Han Sen continued to hold Wan'er, though. He didn't set her down on the bed. If Han Sen put her down somewhere and then went too far away from her, she would return to her gold hair mode. It would damage her body even further if that happened.
Han Sen hesitated to do it, but he placed her back inside Destiny's Tower. She could sleep freely there.
"I'm going to have to wait until she wakes up before I can question her again." Now Han Sen had some time to check out the Gold Robot General beast soul.
Deified Gold Robot General beast soul: Armor-type
Han Sen didn't immediately react. He knew this armor-type beast soul would be different from other armor-type beast souls.
Han Sen summoned the Gold Robot General, wanting to see exactly what kind of beast soul it was.
The Gold Robot General beast soul instantly flew out into the air in front of Han Sen, and his heart leaped. It floated right before Han Sen. It had a golden body and held a gold greatsword, just as it had when it was alive. The red-colored cape was striking.
But the beast soul had a shadowy element to it. It wasn't solid and it didn't look real.
As a second passed, though, the Gold Robot General beast soul quickly solidified. It was like the Gold Robot General had been brought back to life. It floated in front of Han Sen without moving.
While Han Sen was still in shock, Gold Robot General's gold body suddenly disassembled. It became pieces of metallic machinery, all of which flew right at Han Sen. It began to reassemble itself around Han Sen, encasing him within. It soon reformed the shape of the Gold Armor General around him.
Han Sen was inside the Gold Robot General now. He felt as if his thoughts were symbiotic with those of the machine. Oddly, it felt like he could now control a second body.
Han Sen quickly realized what the Gold Armor General. The revelation made him grin. "This is like one of the warframes of the Alliance, but the controls of this machine are far more sophisticated than the warframes were. The pilot uses their own mind to guide this thing, and I'm the one who is now controlling the Gold Robot General. I have the Gold Robot General's attack power now, but even so, it is different from shapeshifting beast souls. While I'm controlling the Gold Robot General, I can only make use of its power. I cannot send my own power through this body."
But having the Gold Robot General's power made him practically deified. Han Sen didn't even have to use his own power.
"I wonder if the Gold Robot General can be used in the core area? If that is possible, then I'll become unimaginably rich. I'll be able to wipe out anything in the core area." Han Sen was exhilarated by the prospect. He couldn't wait to go to the core area to try it out.
This time, Han Sen didn't use his Dongxuan Sutra's cogwheel to enter the core area. There must have been many people waiting where he last departed. It would be troublesome for him to show up there again.
So, Han Sen used his Jadeskin's self-cogwheel to enter the core area. Under the power of Jadeskin, he appeared elsewhere inside the core area.
Han Sen found a quiet place without anyone around, and then, he quickly summoned the Gold Robot General. He discovered he could use it. Beast souls were not restricted in that realm, which meant that the Gold Robot General wasn't the only beast soul that he could use; even the Peacock King's garments could be donned in the core area.
"Haha! God is on my side. My time to shine has finally come. Fighting those old deified elites in the outside world will be difficult, but mopping up across the core area should be an okay task." Han Sen wanted to shout to the sky to release some of his excitement.
Han Sen didn't immediately head out to kill xenogeneics, though. The core area extended into infinity in all directions, and he wasn't very familiar with the place. He didn't even know where to find deified xenogeneics there.
Plus, he already had one thousand King xenogeneic genes to make use of. That was too many for him to eat in a short period of time anyway. He could only eat two or three King xenogeneic genes per day. And that was only possible because he could use Consume. One thousand xenogeneic genes would take a long time to process.
"I wonder if there are any other geno arts that can help me to digest King xenogeneic genes faster," Han Sen thought to himself. He didn't have an answer, though.
"Maybe the Thousand Treasures might know a thing or two about this. I should ask Fang Qing Yu." Han Sen put away the beast souls and returned to the white whale. He went to tell Fang Qing Yu what he was wondering about.
Of course, he didn't say he was eating King xenogeneic genes. He asked Fang Qing Yu if there was a geno art similar to Consume but even better.
Fang Qing Yu thought for a moment, then said, "The Consuming Ant's Consume is the best geno art of its kind. A geno art that is better than Consume might be difficult to find. But there is a very famous geno art that most people would be unable to practice."
"What geno art would that be?" Han Sen quickly asked.
"Big Destroyed," Fang Qing Yu said.
"Big Destroyed? Isn't that a very destructive geno art?" Han Sen had heard about this geno art before, and he had heard that it utilized powerful destructive forces. Even amongst the Destroyed, not many could use Big Destroyed.
Even elites like Barr weren't capable of practicing Big Destroyed. Dia Robber was said to have talent with it, but Han Sen had never seen him make use of it.
"Big Destroyed is an overbearingly destructive geno art," Fang Qing Yu said. "The Thousand Treasures Alliance has researched Big Destroyed before, and we discovered that it is a geno art that breaks down substances and returns them to a base state. Any substances that are struck by Big Destroyed will be shattered and returned to their most primitive and practical form. If you eat those practical results, things might be easier for you to digest."
After saying all this, Fang Qing Yu laughed and said, "But I have to tell you: aside from that, I don't think there is any geno art greater that Consume for this task. Consume is the best in its field of geno arts. There are a few that are similar, but they are basically all the same."
Han Sen considered his options and decided that Big Destroyed might work out for him. He asked Fang Qing Yu, "Where can I get Big Destroyed? Can I buy it from the Thousand Treasures Alliance?"
"It's a secret geno art of the Destroyed. You would need the body of a Destroyed to learn it. The Thousand Treasures Alliance has never had that skill," Fang Qing Yu said as he shook his head.
"It looks like I will have to start with the Destroyed," Han Sen thought. "Dia Robber does want to hire me to hunt another deified xenogeneic, but I don't know if he would be willing to give out the secrets of Big Destroyed in exchange for the help."
Han Sen didn't plan to go looking for Dia Robber. That would give Dia Robber too much advantage. Instead, Han Sen planned on waiting a few days before returning to the core area. That way, Dia Robber would likely approach him.

Chapter 2522: Yellow Clothes
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wan'er had been sleeping for a few days straight, and yet, there was no sign of her waking up anytime soon. That made Han Sen feel a bit depressed.
The white whale was doing the same as it always was. There was still no way for them to escape the dimension they were locked in, and the white tiger pest was still too skittish to get close to them. Still, whenever a horde of snakes approached the island, it would make sure to shoo them off.
Everyone still had a mushroom on their heads. The mushrooms weren't hurting them, though. Every time Han Sen came back from the core area, his head would grow a new mushroom. Before he entered the core area each time, he used his Original Water King Body's power to get rid of it and be separated from the mushroom.
Bao'er released the knights of the Extreme King to work on the ship as deckhands and the like. They didn't dare disobey, because doing so would be pointless. Even if they knew their situation, they wouldn't dare to leave the safety of the white whale.
Bao'er had her new toys, so she was no longer bored. She carried around her big carrot that she called ginseng, and she had a bunch of Extreme King knights that she could freely order around. The Kings and even half-deifieds were being bossed around like they were rookies.
The deckhands became more afraid of "Little Captain Bao'er" than they were of Han Sen or even the little red bird. Whenever her name was mentioned, the men of the ship would tremble.
Han Sen's tally of King class genes reached a hundred. Without hesitation, he increased his Dongxuan Area to the fourth tier. Now that he had enough King class xenogeneic genes, Han Sen planned on maxing out his Dongxuan Area before anything else.
Because the Blood-Pulse Sutra and Spell were of little use in combat, he could only choose between Jadeskin and the Dongxuan Sutra. The Dongxuan Sutra was harder to improve than Jadeskin, and it required more power from his self-cogwheel. However, strengthening that geno art's area would prove more useful in the short term.
Whenever he leveled up an area, his fitness and his area's power would increase by a lot. Still, Han Sen didn't notice any changes.
This lined up with what he had been told about the process. He would only feel the changes when he became half-deified and his nine tiers condensed into one. Reaching that level would be like having all nine tiers of his area combined into one. Stronger than all that, even.
It was almost time to return to the core area. Dia Robber should have been in a rush to see him by now. Han Sen used the Dongxuan Sutra's self-cogwheel to open the door to the core area.
Han Sen thought that after fighting the Gold Armor General, many more Kings would come seeking him out. Dia Robber was likely going to be one of many.
Yet when Han Sen entered the core area, he couldn't see a single King. He flew for thousands of miles, and yet he found no hide nor hair of Dia Robber in the core area.
"Weird. Why is no one looking for me? That isn't normal. Am I too expensive, and my high prices have scared people away?" Han Sen looked around in confusion. His performance was so spectacular, how could others not pay attention and want him?
Although Han Sen was depressed by the lonely stretches of space around him, he still had to kill a few more xenogeneics. He wasn't familiar with the xenogeneics in the core area, and after thinking about things for a while, he planned to call on the bronze furnace. It should have been familiar with the core xenogeneics, so his job would be easiest if it led him to populated areas. It would be better than wandering around aimlessly, all alone.
After Han Sen returned to the bronze furnace's planet, he finally found the bronze furnace. It looked to be in poor condition, though. A yellow-clothed woman of the Sky was beating it up. It was trying to flee from her, and it was in a sorry state.
"This little guy is really unlucky. I beat him up once, and now he is getting beaten up by a woman," Han Sen thought with a slight smile.
Upon seeing Han Sen, the bronze furnace flew over to him, crying all the while. It hid behind Han Sen's back.
The yellow-clothed woman flew in front of Han Sen, looked at him, and said, "Are you going to steal my prey?"
"Lady, you misunderstand. I don't want to do that." Han Sen looked at the yellow-clothed woman and then went on to say, "This furnace is my pet. Please, find it in your heart to let him live on my account. This core xenogeneic gene will be a gift for your kindness."
After that, Han Sen pulled out a core crystal for the yellow-clothed woman.
Han Sen had once studied in Sky Palace, and he still planned to seek out their protection while on the lam. That yellow-clothed woman was one of the Sky, and so the last thing he wanted was to make an enemy of her.
The yellow-clothed woman didn't accept the core xenogeneic gene from Han Sen. She just looked at him and said, "I need this core furnace's material to make a treasure. No other xenogeneic gene can replace it."
"Lady, must you really kill it? Is there no other way?" Han Sen asked patiently.
"There is another way, but it would be annoying," the yellow-clothed woman said.
"That is good! As long as there is another way, we're all set. Just tell me what it is, and I will do my best to fulfill your wishes." Han Sen laughed.
The yellow-clothed woman pointed at the bronze furnace and said, "You aren't helping me. You are just saving his life."
"Right. I was wrong. In that case, tell me what to do to save its life?" Han Sen was still giving her that care-free smile.
"You don't look like a bad person. If you can hunt a core bronze tripod with me, then I'll let the bronze furnace go," the yellow-clothed woman said.
"That is no problem. Do you know where the core bronze tripod can be found?" Han Sen asked.
The yellow-clothed woman looked at Han Sen and said, "Core bronze tripods aren't difficult to locate, but they are half-deified xenogeneics. Can you kill one? Don't just go there and get yourself killed."
"I don't think highly of my strength, but I do think I can kill a core bronze tripod. Plus, you will be helping me, too, right?" Han Sen asked.
"In that case, let's go." The yellow-clothed woman said that and then flew off in another direction.
"My Lady, might I ask your name?" Han Sen signaled the bronze furnace to follow them and headed after the woman. The bronze furnace was terrified of her, and it wouldn't dare stay close. It just hid behind Han Sen.
"I don't know your name, either," the yellow-clothed woman said.
"My name is Dollar," Han Sen told her.
"That doesn't sound like a name. It sounds more like a title," the yellow-clothed woman said.
"All names are just titles, aren't they?" Han Sen said.
"In that case, you can just call me Yellow Clothes. It is just a title, anyway," the yellow-clothed woman said.
"Lady Clothes, are you a student at Sky Palace?" Han Sen didn't tell her his true name. There was no reason for them to be on a first-name basis, so he picked a name that was easier to pronounce.
The yellow-clothed woman smiled and said, "What? I've never heard your name before, and you are asking about me?"
Han Sen thought the woman's temper was strange, and that getting along with her would be difficult.
Yellow Clothes went on to say, "The core bronze tripod that we're hunting is different. Normal half-deifieds cannot defeat it. You can die within the blink of an eye. Let me see what sort of geno art and area you are good with. I don't want you to die and blame it on me."

Chapter 2523: Listening Sword
Han Sen looked at her for a minute. She was spoiled and a touch crazy, but he didn't want to do as she said. Still, he was not mad. He laughed casually and said, "I have learned all kinds of different geno arts. I'm not a master with them, but I have sufficient skill to use each."
"The term 'sufficient' means different things to different people. Are you sure you have learned these geno arts sufficiently?" Yellow Clothes asked seriously. Her face was solemn.
"I suppose so." Han Sen didn't know what was wrong with Yellow Clothes. She was talking like they were competing, and they had to find out which of the two was stronger.
"Okay. In that case, I will test you with the most basic sword skill. Do you know Listening Sword?" Yellow Clothes asked coldly.
"What is Listening Sword?" Han Sen had never heard of the skill.
Yellow Clothes didn't laugh at Han Sen for his ignorance. She simply explained, "A sword is like a person. A person is like a sound. We can see a person, but until we speak with them, they cannot truly become a friend. You only need a voice to communicate. In that way, we do not learn who people truly are by their appearance. Swords are this way, too. If you just look at its appearance, you cannot understand what is inside the sword. You need to listen to the sword to truly understand the blade. Only then can you understand it."
This was the first time Han Sen had heard of this. He thought it was a very interesting concept, and so he asked, "People talk, but swords don't. How can you hear the voice of a sword?"
"The sounds of instruments are not a language, so how can people listen to music and still understand what emotions it conveys and what it means? Although a sword does not speak, when you use a sword to make a sound, you are hearing the voice of the sword. If you know a sword really well, even if you cannot see the sword, you can know what sword it is by the sound it makes," Yellow Clothes said.
Han Sen didn't believe what she was saying. He looked at Yellow Clothes and said, "That means I can pull out a sword and randomly swing it, and by that, Lady Clothes will know which sword I wield?"
"Of course," Yellow Clothes answered. She did so with absolute certainty.
"Great. I have a sword, and I would like you to unveil my sword," Han Sen said.
"Sure." Yellow Clothes turned around and closed her eyes. She said to Han Sen, "You can swing your sword for me."
Han Sen's heart jumped. Using his body to block her line of sight in case she peeked, he whipped out his Toxic Umbrella Mushroom beast soul.
The Toxic Umbrella Mushroom was a weapon beast soul, but it was not a sword. It was an umbrella. When it was folded, it was three feet long and could be used as a sword.
Han Sen held the toxic umbrella and waved it around with a couple of sword skills. He kept using the Dongxuan Area to scan Yellow Clothes, in case she was using some sort of geno art to see the umbrella.
Han Sen was too suspicious, though. Yellow Clothes wasn't using any geno arts to watch him. She was merely listening to Han Sen wave his sword around.
Han Sen had only swung his sword twice before Yellow Clothes said, "That's plenty."
Han Sen put the toxic umbrella away. He looked at Yellow Clothes and said, "Please tell me what my sword sounded like."
"This sword is bad," Yellow Clothes coldly said.
"Why is it bad?" Han Sen asked.
"If you're using an umbrella as a sword, you should focus on thrusting and sweeping. Your sword skills were just you slashing," Yellow Clothes said succinctly.
Han Sen wasn't surprised. Identifying an item by the sounds it made wasn't difficult. Han Sen could do it, too. Many Kings could do it, so it was nothing special.
Yellow Clothes seemed to understand what Han Sen was thinking, and she said, "Your umbrella sounds very bitter. If I am hearing this correctly, it is likely a toxic umbrella. Its sounds are very pure and concentrated. It is likely a King class weapon."
"You can distinguish its sounds to that level?" Han Sen was shocked. Even if someone looked at the umbrella, there should have been no way for them to know that it was toxic. Plus, he was the only person in the geno universe who used a toxic umbrella beast soul. There should have been no way for Yellow Clothes to know what it was. How could she know the toxic umbrella was toxic? Han Sen was confused by this.
"Everything has its reason for being. I can hear swords, and I can hear umbrellas. One skill can be like a thousand skills. There is nothing that can escape my hearing." Yellow Clothes spoke naturally as if it was a universal truth.
Yellow Clothes did sound a bit too boastful, though. Not even a high race alpha would claim to know everything. Yellow Clothes had said this casually, as if it was no big deal.
Han Sen was thinking, "If this woman is this cocky despite being only King class, she must be someone important to the Sky. Why did I not see her when I was in Sky Palace?"
Yellow Clothes could see what Han Sen was thinking, and so she fixed her hair and told him, "If you don't believe me, you can use a geno art. Without seeing it, I will tell you about it and its element."
"Interesting. I want to see this very magical listening skill." Han Sen laughed.
"Yes, please." Yellow Clothes smiled.
She had tried so hard to get close to Han Sen and speak to him because she wished to get to know him better. But the best way to get to know him was to see how he practiced his geno arts.
The theory of listening to sounds was just an excuse that Yellow Clothes had given so she wouldn't have to explain her real ability. Yellow Clothes had practiced a secret skill of the Very High. It was called Very High Sense, and it could feel anything.
It wasn't just about hearing. Even if she blocked all seven of her senses, she could still picture everything around her clearly in her mind. Her ability to hear and feel would not be impaired.
Han Sen didn't believe what he was being told, though. He paused for a bit and then turned his hands into stone. It was the Petrified skill he had learned from Left Crazy.
Han Sen was thinking, "This Petrified skill makes no sound. I don't think she will be able to hear anything."
He only petrified his hands so his arms could still be used. He used his arms to swing his fists. Then he asked Yellow Clothes, who had turned around, "Can you tell what sort of geno art this is?"
Yellow Clothes used her Very High Sense to feel every single moment of Han Sen's movements. She did not turn around, but seeing it behind her, she said, "Your fists sound very heavy and clumsy. It feels rather natural. If I am hearing it correctly, you have employed a petrification skill. And in regards to your punch, if you want to name it, call it Petrified Punch."
Han Sen was shocked, and he sighed. "Lady Clothes is so strong."
"Petrification skills are not mainstream. You use secret geno arts quite casually. If I name one incorrectly, you do not have to come to hunt the core bronze tripod with me," Yellow Clothes coldly said. She wanted to engage Han Sen's curiosity so that Han Sen would use the geno arts he was good at. That way, she could find out just who Han Sen really was.
Dollar and the race of humans were an oddity in the geno universe. No one knew where he was from.

Chapter 2524: You Lose
"In that case, I will give it a shot." Han Sen had passed his years of always wanting to win. He wasn't fond of Yellow Clothes' personality, at all. If he didn't have to hunt a core bronze tripod alongside her, that was more than fine with him.
"I can use whatever geno art I desire?" Han Sen asked for confirmation.
"Yes. You can use any geno art you want," Yellow Clothes answered with complete certainty as she turned away from Han Sen. She closed her eyes.
"Okay. I am going to start now." Han Sen smiled.
"Please," Yellow Clothes said.
But after she said spoke, she didn't hear Han Sen make a move. After a while of not hearing anything, Yellow Clothes felt strange. She then heard Han Sen say, "Alright, please guess what kind of geno art I used, lady."
Yellow Clothes smiled coldly. She turned around, looked at Han Sen, and said, "You didn't move. I guess that can be considered a geno art, too."
She was pretty sure Han Sen hadn't moved or used a geno art.
Han Sen smiled. "I think you have guessed incorrectly this time. According to the terms of our deal, I can leave now, right?"
"I'm never wrong." Yellow Clothes was very sure of that. The Very High Sense could sense everything. She could even sense the sneaky skills of some deified elites. Han Sen was just King class, so she was confident she would be able to feel anything that he did.
"You say that you can't be wrong, but you won't tell me what geno art I used. You are being rather obstinate," Han Sen said in annoyance.
"You didn't use a geno art and you didn't move," Yellow Clothes said to Han Sen while looking at him. Her tone was held high by sheer confidence.
"I did move. And I did use a geno art. It isn't my problem if you are unable to guess what I used." Han Sen spread out both of his hands.
Yellow Clothes peered at Han Sen without speaking. After a while, she looked disappointed and she said, "In that case, you can go. I lose."
"Thank you very much for the convenience," Han Sen said. He took the bronze furnace with him and departed without another word.
Seeing Han Sen leave, Yellow Clothes looked let down. She spoke to herself, "Playing tricks over such a small matter? It doesn't matter how talented he thinks he is; he didn't notice what he missed by playing this trick."
Yellow Clothes was certain her feelings hadn't been wrong. Han Sen hadn't moved or used a geno art. He was a complete con man. He had made such a bad impression that Yellow Clothes no longer wanted to deal with him.
Every member of the Very High was allowed to select a silkworm to grow. They had to choose carefully and go for the best of the best.
Dollar had powerful talents, but his behavior had disappointed Yellow Clothes. She didn't want to argue with him any further.
"He has talent, but his personality and heart are terrible. What a shame." Putting the whole matter out of her mind, Yellow Clothes also turned to leave.
Seeing Yellow Clothes return, Little Butterfly immediately came running out. She asked Yellow Clothes with proper surprise, "My Lady, you let Dollar go that fast?"
Yellow Clothes had spent a lot of effort to get all the others that were waiting for Han Sen to leave. That was why she had been able to encounter Dollar alone. But right after she met Dollar, Yellow Clothes had hastily returned. Little Butterfly was surprised by this. She thought she would be gone at least three or four days before she came back.
"He is not the silkworm I require," Yellow Clothes grumbled.
"Why don't you take one more look? Dollar is very strong. He was able to take down the Gold Armor General by himself. I don't think even Yu Shanxin could do that. It would be a shame to let this opportunity go by," Little Butterfly tried to convince her.
Yellow Clothes poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "His talent and power are strong, but the geno universe is home to many geniuses like that. They just can't reach that perfect threshold. Plus, Dollar has a major flaw."
"What kind of flaw would that be?" Little Butterfly asked with curiosity.
"His personality is bad. I don't like how his mind works," Yellow Clothes said while putting down her teacup.
"No way. How long has it been, and you can already tell his personality is poor?" Little Butterfly looked at her in disbelief.
Yellow Clothes told her what happened with Han Sen, and then Little Butterfly nodded, and said, "My Lady's Very High Sense is never incorrect, and that means Dollar's personality isn't that good. How dare he lie right before you? With a personality like that, he really cannot be your silkworm. But he does have talent and power. He is strong."
"It doesn't matter. A person like that won't be able to achieve the final step. Li Keer's silkworm must be the silkworm that can become a butterfly. There cannot be any flaws," Li Keer said in a hard voice.
"That Dollar, why would he try to play a trick on you? If he knew that little trick had cost him so much, he would probably cry himself to death." Littler Butterfly sighed.
"Most people are stupid that way. Few can truly rise above the rest. You can't hold it against him. If everyone could be perfect, then that final step would not be so difficult," Li Keer said casually. She didn't seem too affected.
"You are right, but I do think your standards are too high. All the other princes have selected a silkworm, and only you are left. You have visited many geniuses that you do not like. What kind of person will you consider acceptable?" Little Butterfly was worried about Li Keer.
Li Keer wasn't in a rush, though. "I would rather lack one than pick the wrong one. If I cannot find a suitable silkworm, I would rather go without."
"How can that happen? If you don't choose, then you will lose your opportunity to become a leader." Little Butterfly was even more worried upon hearing that.
"I was just complaining; I didn't actually mean it. I need to choose someone. Otherwise, things will be too easy for the other princes. I am going to choose, but I'll choose someone I like." Li Keer laughed.
Little Butterfly let out a long sigh and stroked her chest, "Oh, you scared me."
"Alright, now come and give me a massage. I have just moved a little and already my shoulders feel bad." Li Keer had another sip of tea.
Little Butterfly went behind Li Keer. She reached out to begin massaging Li Keer, but her hands stopped still in the air. She didn't touch her, but her mouth opened with shock. "My lady, you… your back has words."
"Words? What words?" Li Keer was shocked.
"You… lose…" Little Butterfly slowly read the words planted upon Li Keer's back.
Li Keer's face turned red. She gnashed her teeth and reached out her hand. She summoned a mirror so that she could view her own back. There, she saw the two words written down upon her back. They were around the size of a fist. There was even an exclamation mark.
"You lose!"

Chapter 2525: Cutting Cucumbers and Slicing Vegetables
"Lady, why are those two words written on your back?" Little Butterfly asked with curiosity.
Li Keer nibbled her lips as her face flushed. After a while, she released a burst of laughter, then suddenly grew strangely serious. "Dollar is good. He can mask his actions from my Very High Sense."
Little Butterfly's eyes widened in disbelief. She had to ask, "How was it possible for Dollar to write these words without you having a clue that he had?"
Little Butterfly couldn't believe this was possible. Li Keer had the Very High Sense. She was like a god that could feel anything. How could someone write words on her own back while she was oblivious to it?
"I haven't been King for long. My Very High Sense has yet to be perfected. It isn't strange that I might miss something occasionally, but not just anyone could do something so bold. Dollar made sure that I felt absolutely nothing, so whatever talent he used must have been quite strong. I clearly underestimated him." Li Keer's beautiful eyes flashed strangely.
"My lady, if Dollar is that strong, do you want him to be your silkworm?" Little Butterfly blinked.
"I don't know him well enough yet. I cannot select him simply based on this showing of power. Plus, I cannot find him. Even if I wanted him to be my silkworm, how am I supposed to get in touch with him?" Li Keer blinked.
Han Sen hadn't known what Li Keer was thinking, but he clearly wasn't interested in her.
The reason Han Sen had been able to write words on her back without her knowledge was because he had used his Dongxuan Sutra. He locked down all the universal cogwheels around them, allowing himself to move without being noticed. So, Li Keer was unable to feel anything. As far as the universal cogwheels were concerned, it was like nothing had happened. She wouldn't realize Han Sen had taken the time to write something down on her back.
When it came to the powers of sense, the Dongxuan Sutra wasn't any inferior to the Very High Sense. Li Keer didn't know what the Dongxuan Sutra was, and so that was the reason she lost the contest. Had she known about the geno art, she wouldn't have lost in such a terrible fashion.
The bronze furnace kept making crying noises as it led the way. The fires of the creature rose and fell. A hundred swords were poking out from inside it. All of them were of different sizes. It appeared as if it had spent a lot of time slaying core xenogeneics and taking their xenogeneic genes to produce swords.
"Where are you taking me?" Han Sen asked the bronze furnace.
He had asked the bronze furnace to find deified xenogeneics. It had been leading him for half a day, but they had yet to find a single shadow lurking nearby. As they traveled, the space around them was getting quieter and quieter. There were not even planets or asteroids around.
"Choo-choo!" the furnace shot out some flames. They hovered in the sky to form the words, "Steel castle."
"What is that place?" Han Sen asked.
"Deified xenogeneic," the bronze smithy said by producing more of those fire words.
The intelligence of xenogeneics was quite limited. They were never that good at expressing themselves. Han Sen couldn't ask much, but it was fine as long as they were going someplace with deified xenogeneics. He wasn't going to be scared of any power he faced.
He followed the bronze furnace in flight. After flying for a few days, they saw a castle hanging in space.
The castle seemed to have been made of metal, and it had been constructed using cogwheels and machinery. Two giant exhaust pipes came out of it. The cogwheels spun, and fire billowed out of it continually. Han Sen could even hear the sound of a generator within, and it hummed melodically.
That giant thing was like a huge steel monster. It floated in the air, and that entire trip, Han Sen hadn't encountered a single xenogeneic. That had seemed quite abnormal to Han Sen.
The closer they got to the castle-like machine, the weirder it looked. The giant steel cogwheels spun, and there were clanging sounds like a blacksmith working in a smithy. Fire came pouring out of the machine. It was like some sort of factory.
"The xenogeneics of the core area are so weird. This steel castle can't be a xenogeneic, can it?" Han Sen was shocked.
As Han Sen was thinking about this, he suddenly saw the steel monster rumble forward like a bulldozer. Flames roared out of its twin exhaust pipes. The running generator seemed to rev up, and the rhythmic banging noises became one sustained sound.
The cogwheels of various sizes spun like mad all along its robot arms. The next second, the steel door of the castle opened. Fire came bursting out as if it was a big furnace. From within the steel castle, a ten-meter-tall steel robot appeared. The xenogeneic looked very strong as it strode out.
The robot xenogeneic looked very ramshackle. It couldn't compare with the modern AI robots that Han Sen was familiar with. Its design was more reminiscent of the armor of knights in ancient Europe.
As the castle door opened and belched out more angry fire, more steel robots queued out of the castle. It was like a production line of toys.
Han Sen stared at the emerging robots in shock. He opened his eyes wide and said, "King class core xenogeneics? This steel monster castle can make King core xenogeneics?"
Encountering a bunch of King class xenogeneics wouldn't surprise Han Sen, but finding a monster that could produce them with ease? Han Sen hadn't seen anything like that before.
Within a second, the steel robots that had emerged from the castle assembled into separate regiments. Then they all marched on Han Sen.
Han Sen wanted to try out the power of his Gold Robot General. When he summoned it, the Gold Armor General appeared around him.
Han Sen used his mind to control the gold robot the same way he controlled his own body. He lifted the saw-like gold greatsword. The cogwheels on the blade whirled, and the sawblade spun, too. It was like a giant chainsaw.
Katcha!
Han Sen swung the sword, and the chainsaw swordlight cut the robots in half. Not one of them could repel the power of his sword.
"Nice, very nice… This is a good fight!" Han Sen cackled in excitement. He kept swinging his blade, cutting through the robots like he was slicing vegetables. He managed to kill an entire group of those steel robots.
"Xenogeneic King hunted: Steel Armor. Xenogeneic gene found."
Han Sen heard the announcement play repeatedly, but there was no mention of a beast soul.
"Are these really King class xenogeneics? Do they simply live in the castle, or are they made there?" Han Sen looked at the weird steel castle and sank into thought.
The first group of Steel Armors had been slain. The castle monster looked angry. It summoned all its power to open every door across the breadth of the castle, and many more Steel Armors came flying out. There had to be at least a hundred, and even more were on the way.

Chapter 2526: Meeting Li Keer Again
When he fought with his Gold Robot General, Han Sen was like a wolf entering a sheep pen. Wherever his swordlights went, his enemies fell to pieces. Those King class Steel Armors couldn't withstand the weakest of his strikes.
"Xenogeneic King hunted: Steel Armor. Xenogeneic gene found. Obtained Steel Armor beast soul."
After killing one hundred Steel Armors, Han Sen finally earned a beast soul.
The steel castle appeared to be tired now, though. Its speed had slowed, and not as many Steel Armors were coming out of its doors. It looked like a gasping beast after a long run.
There were fewer than two hundred Steel Armors, all-in-all. Before today, Han Sen would have had a hard time tracking down and eliminating that many. But the Gold Robot General went through them like a hot knife through butter. He mopped up the last of them in moments.
When Han Sen turned to go after the steel castle, the space around it vibrated, trembling like it was being shaken by some cosmic earthquake. A crack in space opened behind the weird steel castle, and the monster entered the space crack and disappeared.
Han Sen was shocked. The bronze furnace was happily munching on the bodies of the Steel Armors, placing them in its forge-like belly.
But because the furnace was small, after eating eight of the Steel Armors, it couldn't consume any more.
"Where is the deified xenogeneic you were talking about?" Han Sen asked the bronze furnace.
The bronze furnace whistled like a steam engine and spat out more fire. The fire became words, and they said, "Didn't it just run away?"
"That steel castle was a deified xenogeneic?" Han Sen mumbled in surprise. And then he asked, "Can I still find it?"
He had wanted to see what else might be able to come out of the steel castle, which was why he hadn't tried to enter it. But now that it had run off, Han Sen was starting to regret his approach.
"Can't find it," the bronze furnace said by spitting out words.
Han Sen shrugged his shoulders. He turned around and rummaged through the broken Steel Armors for their xenogeneic genes. There was a steel cogwheel in each of their hearts. Those were their xenogeneic genes.
Han Sen wasn't going to swallow their entire bodies like the smithy furnace. He dug out the core xenogeneic genes and placed them inside Destiny's Tower.
Han Sen put away the Gold Robot General beast soul. He didn't need it any longer.
Han Sen was still collecting his core xenogeneic genes when he saw someone approach. He raised his head. It was that yellow-clothed woman again.
Li Keer had followed the trail left behind by the bronze furnace's presence. She had been quite shocked to find that her Very High Sense couldn't pick up Han Sen's trail. Her only hope of finding him was to follow the leftover presence of the bronze furnace.
As soon as Han Sen came into view, Li Keer also saw the Steel Armors scattered all across that zone of space. She paused for a moment to stare at the sight, dumbfounded.
She recognized those Steel Armors for what they were. She knew that the Steel Armors came from a steel castle that was a core deified xenogeneic. She could only see the bodies of the Steel Armors, though. She didn't see the steel castle anywhere. The steel castle, she surmised, had probably run away from Han Sen.
That realization was stunning.
During the fight with the Gold Armor General, Han Sen's main attack had come from Dragon One's deified treasure, the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger. Li Keer understood that.
At that point, Li Keer had doubted Han Sen's attack power. But now, Han Sen had chased the steel castle away all alone. She was no longer hesitant to believe in his capabilities.
"A King can battle deifieds? Although the core area's deified xenogeneics are weak—akin to fake deifieds—the results Dollar is achieving are still nearly unbelievable. Plus, he can somehow slip under my Very High Sense. Where does this human Dollar come from? Even the Extreme King haven't had someone this talented in the last thousand years," Li Keer thought to herself. Without hesitation, she went right up to Han Sen.
"Lady Clothes, how much of a coincidence it is for you to show up here." Han Sen greeted her grudgingly, but he still acknowledged her as she drew near.
"It isn't a coincidence. I have come looking for you," Li Keer said.
"You were looking for me? You aren't asking me to kill the bronze core tripod again, are you?" Han Sen frowned. He wasn't interested in doing that, and if Li Keer didn't uphold her end of their bargain, he was just going to ignore her.
Li Keer shook her head. "I saw the words you left on my back. I saw them, and I'm here to admit that I lost. I really did lose to you."
Han Sen was shocked. He hadn't expected Li Keer's attitude to change so much. She suddenly wasn't so annoying to talk to.
"You don't have to say such things, my lady," Han Sen said.
"Why don't we get to know each other a little better? Let's try this again. My name is Li Keer." Li Keer held out her hand and smiled.
"Dollar." Han Sen shook her hand.
"I've heard a little about you. If it is possible, I'm interested in hiring you to kill the bronze tripod with me." After Li Keer lowered her hand, she smiled again.
"I'm afraid I must disappoint you. I have something important that needs doing." It didn't matter if Li Keer was nice or not; Han Sen had no interest in traveling with her. His plan to kill deified xenogeneics took precedence.
Li Keer wasn't disappointed, though. She gently said, "Don't say no just yet. How about hearing what I can offer you first?"
Han Sen thought she would offer up a xenogeneic gene or something. It couldn't be anything spectacular, but since she was being polite and she wasn't an enemy, Han Sen was willing to let her say her piece.
Li Keer rolled her eyes. She moved forward to stand atop the bodies of the Steel Armors. "If I'm understanding this situation correctly, you have just slain a horde of Steel Armors and made the steel castle run away, yes?"
Han Sen looked at Li Keer. He didn't confirm or deny her summary. His silence was an affirmation on its own, though.
Li Keer's eyes brightened. She had already guessed what had happened, but now her conjecture had received confirmation. She was pleasantly surprised.
"The steel castle of the core area isn't very strong for a deified, but you have managed to chase it off as a King class. Not many people in this universe could do such a thing. Dollar's name surely carries weight," Li Keer said, gushing his praises.
"What are you trying to say?" Han Sen frowned. He felt annoyed.
He wasn't a kid who had never seen the world. He wasn't going to get cocky just because this woman was complimenting him. From what he could tell, Li Keer's praise was just wasting his time.
"You have the power to kill core deified xenogeneics, but actually taking them down isn't as simple as beating them in a fight. Most deified xenogeneics won't remain in one place for you to deliver the final blow. Like the steel castle, they can be hard to find once they decide to flee. But I can find them. If you help me hunt a core bronze tripod, I can help you locate the deified xenogeneics you seek," Li Keer said with a wink.

Chapter 2527: Wolf God
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen and Li Keer flew through space together, but the bronze furnace lagged some distance behind them. It still wasn't willing to come anywhere close to Li Keer.
If Li Keer was willing to lead, Han Sen had no reason to reject her offer. If she could find deified xenogeneics, Han Sen wouldn't mind helping her slay the bronze tripod.
Han Sen still wasn't fond of Li Keer's personality, so he didn't talk to her all that much. But Li Keer was smart and talkative, and Han Sen discovered that she even had a sense of humor. He found it difficult to rectify her personality with how she had acted when they first met.
Han Sen didn't know that her attitude had actually changed.
When they first met, Li Keer had looked at Han Sen as if she was far superior to him. It was like a human talking to a cow. Humans normally wouldn't bother talking to cows, because there was no point in having a conversation with a being of such low intelligence. They would just teach the cow what to do, instead.
But ever since that bet, Li Keer had realized Han Sen wasn't just some lesser being. He was her equal, or perhaps he even stronger, in some ways. Li Keer could no longer think of Han Sen as some foolish creature.
But the blame couldn't be put on Li Keer for her initial assumptions. Across the entire universe, all beings with emotions made similar assumptions about others that were not of their species. Even humans did.
"There's a deified xenogeneic that I saw not too long ago. It is a wolf god. I don't really know much about it, but I have heard that he isn't very strong compared to most of the deified xenogeneics in the core area." Li Keer continued to fly forward as she gave Han Sen the low down on the deified xenogeneic.
As she spoke, Li Keer was thinking, "I'm not lying; the wolf god really isn't that strong compared to most deified xenogeneics in the core area. It can be considered medium-low. But it does have a wolf god area. That area not only summons a wolf pack, but it also summons clones of the wolf god. A whole horde of wolf god clones will be summoned, and they aren't much weaker than the wolf god itself. Let's see how you deal with an opponent like this."
Li Keer wasn't doing this to harm Han Sen, but to see how he handled himself in danger. When he did fall into trouble, she would swoop in and help. She would save him and impress him with her skill at the same time. Then, Han Sen would more willingly obey her. That way, she could take him on as her silkworm.
Following Li Keer's lead, Han Sen flew down toward a planet. Li Keer pointed in the direction of a mountain and said, "I saw the wolf god on that mountain. I'm too weak to fight it, so I'm certainly not going over there."
"Okay. Wait here, then. If there is a deified xenogeneic, I will help you eliminate the core bronze tripod whether or not I manage to kill this deified," Han Sen said.
"I will await your good news," Li Keer said with a smile.
Han Sen nodded and flew toward the mountain. The bronze furnace remained behind at Han Sen's request. It didn't head for the same mountain as him.
Li Keer's eyes flickered. She was far away from the mountain, but she could see all the flowers and forests that littered the landscape.
Quickly, Li Keer's senses detected the wolf god on that mountain. It was different from ordinary wolves. The wolf god lived alone, and its body wasn't very big. It was barely bigger than an ordinary wolf.
The wolf was colored grey with a single black line running across its coat, but its fur wasn't ordinary. It was made of some weird metal. The metallic fur was smooth, and it didn't affect the creature's mobility.
As Li Keer's watched, Han Sen quickly found the wolf god. The wolf god was very territorial, and Han Sen had only just stepped into the valley when the wolf god revealed itself. Its hair straightened up, and its green wolf eyes peered down on Han Sen.
Buzz!
The wolf god crouched and leaped forward, but then it disappeared.
The wolf disappeared from Han Sen's vision before he even got a good look at it. His eyes couldn't match the speed of the wolf god.
Without hesitation, Han Sen used his super god spirit body. While Han Sen was invincible, the wolf god's gray body leaped at him.
But instead of landing on Han Sen, the wolf god's leap carried it past him. It turned around and looked at Han Sen without attacking again.
Han Sen had only just opened the super god spirit body, but he noticed that his super god spirit power was already starting to fade. Although Wan'er was asleep, her effect on the super god spirit body was still strong.
Li Keer planned to watch the fight between the man and the wolf, and then save Han Sen during a critical moment. But right after the fight began, Han Sen ran away.
As Han Sen flew up away from the planet, she could see that he had committed his full strength to fleeing. He didn't hesitate or ponder what direction he was going. Li Keer was frozen as she watched him do that. She didn't know if she should swoop in to save Han Sen.
Although this was the result she wanted, she hadn't expected it to happen like this. She was planning to use the fight with the wolf god to witness Dollar's real power. Now she was still empty-handed, and Han Sen was running away.
Li Keer was very confused. Han Sen apparently had no way of defeating the wolf god, and the creature leaped into the air and tore into Han Sen's body with its teeth.
Pang!
Han Sen's body was torn to shreds, but it was just a Moon doppelganger. The real Han Sen appeared farther in space, and he was still running.
He only wanted to confirm that there was a deified xenogeneic on the planet. He didn't plan on summoning the Gold Armor General to defeat the wolf god in front of her.
But the wolf god was a very aggressive creature, and it kept chasing after Han Sen. Although it wasn't as strong as the Gold Armor General, Han Sen would still have a hard time fighting it. He kept using Moon copies of himself to avoid the wolf god.
Han Sen noticed that the core area's deified xenogeneics had some flaws. They might be deified in some ways, but in other ways, they were much worse than proper deified xenogeneics.
Such as the Gold Armor General: while its defense and swordlights were deified in class, its speed was still wholly King class. It even fought like a King. The creature didn't have the control and talent that Han Sen would expect from a true deified.
And while this wolf god's speed was deified, its judgment and skill weren't up to par. Its attacking skills fell short, about as talented as an average King. So, Han Sen could see that the wolf was far weaker than an ordinary deified.
"No wonder the core area's deifieds are referred to as fake deifieds. They all have flaws. I can't see them as being truly on a deified level," Han Sen thought to himself.
The epic battle Li Keer had hoped to watch quickly devolved into a hungry wolf chasing a fleeing human. Han Sen used his clones and movements to evade his foe. His movement skills were spectacular, and not even the wolf god could harm him. But that still wasn't what Li Keer wanted.

Chapter 2528: Very High Sense?
Li Keer decided not to help Han Sen, as he wasn't in any grave danger just yet. She did raise an eyebrow as she watched him, though. "What is up with this guy? Why is he strong like a god one minute, and he behaves like a wimp the next?"
Li Keer couldn't wrap her mind around what he was doing, and she noticed how annoyed the wolf god was starting to look. It looked up and howled to the sky. Its body became blurry, then exploded in a misty haze. Many carbon copies of the wolf god came racing out of that mist. In a second, a dozen other wolf gods emerged in all their angry glory. They were in the sky, on the ground, in front of Han Sen and behind him. They surrounded him, preventing his escape from every direction.
"Doppelganger? No… these clones must have at least eighty percent of the original wolf's power." Han Sen glanced around at the wolf gods, impressed.
Han Sen's Moon Doppelganger skill exuded power that could take on a solid shape and little more. He couldn't use the skill to fight.
But this wolf god's doppelgangers were different. Each duplicate was its own individual creature, and each one had nearly enough power to rival the original wolf god. Each one could move on its own accord, too.
This was the first time Han Sen had seen a doppelganger talent like this.
Before Han Sen could organize his thoughts, the doppelgangers came at him. All of them were shockingly fast. They were only a tiny bit slower than the wolf god itself.
Han Sen used his Dongxuan Movement to the max. He employed formations, snap judgments, and movement skills. All of his evasive talents were firing on all cylinders. Amidst all of the attacks of the wolf god's doppelgangers, Han Sen was like a dancing butterfly. The dozen wolf god doppelgangers were unable to do a thing to their foe. They couldn't harm Han Sen.
After the wolf god brought out its doppelgangers, Li Keer wondered if she should help Han Sen. After all, she hadn't seen the battle that she wanted and expected. If she helped now, it might only end up doing him a favor.
But as Li Keer watched Han Sen use his skills to kite all those foes, she froze. Han Sen's movements seemed almost effortless as he led his enemies around by the nose.
"How… how is that possible? Isn't this the Very High Sense's Sky and Being Combination? Impossible. How can another race have the skills of the Very High? And how can someone else have the Sky and Being Combination? How can he push it to such an extreme?" Li Keer's face was blank. She was watching Han Sen dance through the pack of wolves, but she could barely believe her own eyes.
"No, this isn't the Very High's Sky and Being Combination, but it is something very similar. It is almost the same thing, but it is different. It is like the Sky's Textless Book, but it is different from that as well… This is so weird… What kind of geno art is this? Is there some ancient, scary undead being that has made a geno art similar to the Very High Sense?" Li Keer's face kept changing. She looked very confused.
She thought rapidly, but she couldn't come up with the name of any geno art that was remotely similar to the Very High Sense. Aside from the Sky's Textless Book, that is. Although other races had similar geno arts, they were only superficially reminiscent of the Very High Sense.
The abilities Han Sen was using weren't weak or superficial at all. Li Keer could see that her movements and abilities weren't as good as Dollar's.
"What is going on? Is Dollar one of the Very High? Or is he one of the Sky? From what I know, in this generation, the Sky only taught the Textless Book to Lone Bamboo. Yu Shanxin practiced the Textless Book, but he didn't learn it very well. He forged his own path. Dollar can't be one of those two. And besides, when Dollar was in the Geno Being Scroll, he fought against Lone Bamboo. So, they cannot be the same person…" Li Keer was so confused. She didn't understand anything she was seeing.
Even if Li Keer thought until her brain exploded, she ever would have imagined that Han Sen's geno arts were a product of a completely different universe. What she was seeing were skills created by the human Xuanmen, after many generations of research.
Although the Dongxuan Sutra wasn't the Very High Sense, some elements made them quite similar. The two of them alike in execution, although they had been developed in different directions. Beneath the surface, the two skills worked very differently.
Plus, each skill could be used in a number of different ways. It would be hard to tell which might be stronger and which might be weaker.
The Very High Sense was the product of many Very High elites' research. It was the best geno art in the geno universe, and it had been for a very long time.
The Dongxuan Sutra was also the very best in the sanctuaries. It wasn't complete in its development outside the sanctuaries, however. It needed a lot more practice before it was finished. Compared to the Very High Sense, the Dongxuan Sutra was like a prototype geno art in its early stages of learning.
Until the Dongxuan Sutra was finished, no one would be able to tell whether it or the Very High Sense was stronger. There was only one thing that was certain right now, however; Li Keer was weaker than Han Sen.
As Li Keer watched Han Sen, her face kept changing. For the longest time, her gaze never flickered from his form.
She had thought she would save Han Sen when he was in danger, but that no longer seemed necessary. Han Sen had maxed out a skill similar to Sky and Being Combination. The wolf god doppelgangers weren't dangerous enough to put his life at risk. It would be pointless for Li Keer to participate.
But that made Li Keer more curious. Her pretty eyes were looking brighter than ever. "Who is Dollar? What geno arts is he using?"
Han Sen was fighting against the wolf god doppelgangers, and through observation, he noticed something quite interesting. After the wolf god used doppelgangers, although the doppelgangers had a power that was similar to that of the original wolf god, they didn't have one hundred percent of the wolf god's power.
"Does that mean the wolf god's doppelganger skills are split from its true self? Are they something more than just doppelgangers?" Han Sen was happy.
The doppelgangers of the wolf god were very powerful, but as a threat to Han Sen, they weren't as dangerous as the wolf god focusing all its power into one body.
Group fights were what Han Sen feared the least. Plus, the Dongxuan Armor provided Han Sen an endless amount of energy. He didn't have to worry about power conservation. It didn't matter how many times the doppelgangers tried to surround him, they couldn't harm Han Sen.
"It is a shame I don't have the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger. Otherwise, perhaps I wouldn't even need the Gold Armor General to kill the wolf god." Han Sen didn't use the Thunder God Spike. Even if he struck with that weapon, he would only paralyze the wolf god doppelgangers. He couldn't use the spike to break the wolf god's body.
The Thunder God Spike and the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger were deified treasures. One was a thunder element, whereas the other focused on destructive powers. So, the Thunder God Spike could paralyze the wolf god without breaking its body. The Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger had a chance to break the bodies of deified xenogeneics. It didn't have the power to paralyze them, however.
It was impossible to say which of the two was stronger. Their uses were different. But now, Han Sen was more in need of the dragon tooth's destructive power.

Chapter 2529: God's Wonder
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen was fighting with the wolf god's doppelgangers when he suddenly felt the space around him shift. He was shocked. He prepared to strike, but then he saw that it was Li Keer who had appeared.
"Come with me." Li Keer grabbed Han Sen's arm. Her body jolted and teleported away, taking Han Sen with her.
"I cannot believe Lady Li knows the geno art called Galaxy Teleportation." Han Sen looked around. He noticed that he was now far away from the planet occupied by the wolf god. Even the bronze furnace had been brought along with them. He was shocked.
Han Sen had always been interested in learning Galaxy Teleportation, but he had never taken the time to learn it.
His lack of knowledge wasn't just limited to Galaxy Teleportation, either. He had only learned a small amount of any kind of teleportation. His talents in the field took too long to prepare for use, and he just hadn't taken the time to learn proper teleportation. That was why he didn't yet have Galaxy Teleportation.
So, seeing Li Keer's casual use of Galaxy Teleportation made Han Sen somewhat envious.
"It's just a simple trick. If you want to learn it, I can teach you." Li Keer smiled at Han Sen as she spoke.
Han Sen raised his eyebrows, then asked Li Keer. "What do you need me to do?"
Han Sen didn't think Li Keer would teach him a skill like Galaxy Teleportation for free.
Plus, Han Sen wasn't even sure if he had the chops to learn it. Those that could make use of Galaxy Teleportation usually had been born with the talent. The capacity to learn the skill was innate.
"It's just a small trick. If you want to learn it, I can teach you; I won't require anything in return. But Galaxy Teleportation does require talent and power. I don't know if you have what it takes to learn it." Li Keer smiled.
"Yes, of course, I can learn it," Han Sen quickly said.
The chance to learn Galaxy Teleportation for free wasn't an opportunity that Han Sen was going to turn down. Whether he could learn it or not, he was going to try.
"Then let's talk as we go. If you want to learn Galaxy Teleportation, you must first learn Teleport. If you cannot use Teleport, you cannot use Galaxy Teleportation…" Li Keer winked.
Li Keer didn't lie to Han Sen. As she taught Han Sen about Teleport, she guided them steadily toward the core bronze tripod.
Han Sen had already learned a thing or two about Teleport from the times he had used Break Space Flash. He knew the fundamentals, but Li Keer was actually teaching him various types of Teleport. He needed some time to adjust to that first.
But Han Sen still managed to learn what she was teaching him quite quickly. The techniques that she taught were quite different from Break Space Flash. There was no delay; he only had to think, and he would teleport.
"This is the real power of teleportation," Han Sen sighed.
But Han Sen had only just started studying these new techniques, so the distance of his teleportations was limited. His accuracy was poor, as well. He could only teleport accurately within a distance of five hundred meters.
When Li Keer saw how quickly Han Sen was picking up teleportation, it caught her completely off guard. She didn't allow that surprise to show in her face, though.
Li Keer wasn't just teaching Han Sen ordinary Teleport. She had decided to teach him a skill of the Very High called God's Wander. It was part of the Very High Sense. Even if they possessed space powers, beings that had learned Teleport couldn't learn God's Wander without first practicing the Very High Sense.
Ordinary Teleport skills had a delay. The only question was how long those delays were. Some delays were so short they were barely noticeable at all. The basic Teleport was similar to the highly advanced God's Wander in that regard.
But Teleport was the weakest of the skills. After it came Galaxy Teleportation. And lastly, there was God's Wander. After reaching the highest level of God's Wander, you could travel across entire systems with a minor thought.
Normal Galaxy Teleportation couldn't achieve this. The further one wished to travel, the longer it would take to prepare, as well.
Li Keer taught Han Sen God's Wander. She wanted to confirm the similarity of Han Sen's geno art with her Very High Sense.
When she confirmed that Han Sen could oh-so-simply learn something like God's Wander, it revealed many things. It was a surprise how much faster he learned the skill than Li Keer had when she was in her infancy. Li Keer was very shocked.
"What kind of person is this? He can use a geno art similar to the Very High Sense? Has someone stolen our Very High Sense? No way! Without the body of a Very High, you cannot learn the Very High Sense. Only the Sky can replicate a part of it, which was how they created the Textless Book." Li Keer was full of wonder.
But she didn't think Han Sen had practiced the Very High Sense or the Textless Book. If he had one of those, he would have known how to teleport already.
"He can't be like the Very High. And he doesn't seem to be one of the Sky. Human; what kind of race is that?" Li Keer's curiosity was driving her nuts.
"If I can get Dollar to become my silkworm, a silkworm that can learn Very High Sense, what will happen? Throughout the entire history of my race, there has never been a silkworm like this. It will be easy for him to become a butterfly." Li Keer was so excited, she kept thinking, "I wonder what the people in my race will think when they see me with a silkworm like this."
After Han Sen learned Teleport, Li Keer taught him some of Galaxy Teleportation. She left out the part about God's Wander.
Han Sen believed Li Keer's teleportation skill Galaxy Teleportation was very similar to the Dongxuan Sutra. Using the Dongxuan Sutra and Galaxy Teleportation together when he teleported actually made the process much easier.
But there was a limit to how quickly Galaxy Teleportation could be learned. Before Han Sen could learn it in full, they arrived at the home of the bronze tripod.
Accompanying Li Keer had benefitted Han Sen greatly, so he wasn't slow in moving to help her with the bronze tripod. He took the bronze furnace with him as he swooped forward. The half-deified bronze tripod was strong, but it couldn't withstand the attacks of Han Sen and his bronze furnace. Shortly after Han Sen began the attack, he killed the creature and cut it in half.
After Han Sen delivered the bronze tripod core gene to Li Keer, he asked, "Is one enough, or do you require more?"
"One is enough. It is just a secondary material, however. The primary material is a core deified xenogeneic's core gene. I cannot hunt such a thing down." Li Keer sighed.
Han Sen didn't speak. He had learned two geno arts, Teleport and Galaxy Teleportation, but that wasn't enough for him to consider hunting a deified xenogeneic on someone else's behalf.
Li Keer went on to say, "Teleport and Galaxy Teleportation you have learned, but there is one more part. But I have to seek out a deified xenogeneic first. I don't have the time to teach you."
Han Sen's eyes brightened. "There is another part to Galaxy Teleportation I can learn?"
Li Keer looked at Han Sen and laughed. Han Sen knew what she meant, and so he said, "If I help you kill that deified xenogeneic, can you teach me the final part?"

Chapter 2530: The Sea Sky Eye
Han Sen promised to help Li Keer kill a deified xenogeneic, but Li Keer didn't know where the xenogeneic she needed actually lived. She only knew which system it was said to be in. Han Sen had to go to that system with her.
But this time, Li Keer didn't offer to teach God's Wander to Han Sen first. She was going to wait until Han Sen slew the deified xenogeneic before giving him the final part.
"It looks like Teleport and Galaxy Teleportation were just a down payment." Han Sen wasn't upset about that. It wasn't as if he and Li Keer were family, so this was normal. If Li Keer taught him the skills without anything to gain, he wouldn't know how to repay the favor.
He was chatting with Li Keer on the way, and he was pleasantly surprised to learn that Li Keer was well-educated about most geno arts. In fact, she spoke of many that Han Sen hadn't even heard of. Aside from the woman in Two World Mountain, there was no one Han Sen knew that was as smart as Li Keer.
Han Sen himself was very good at geno arts. He had studied them a lot, but he had never poured his full energy into those studies. He focused more on practicing geno arts rather than researching them.
"With Li Keer's knowledge, and with her being King class, she should be famous in Sky Palace. Why haven't I heard her name before?" Han Sen wondered.
After visiting the system Li Keer told him about, they searched for the deified xenogeneic for two whole days without finding anything. They did manage to kill a dozen King core xenogeneics, though.
The system was huge. If they searched every planet, it would take a while.
Fortunately, Han Sen had continued studying Teleport and Galaxy Teleportation, and searching the system was a perfect opportunity to practice. Han Sen teleported everywhere he needed to go. He was getting the hang of it. He was a fast learner.
The two of them and the furnace were hurrying along their way when, all of a sudden, they saw a group of people coming toward them. Han Sen had a closer look, and he noticed it was Dia Robber, Dragon One, and a few others.
At this point, Han Sen considered them to be old friends. He had expected Dia Robber would come looking for him. He hadn't expected it to take this long for Dia Robber to find him, however.
"Brother Dollar, do you have some free time to help me kill a core deified xenogeneic? We can discuss the price." Dia Robber knew Dollar's personality well, so he didn't beat around the bush. He jumped immediately to his real request.
"I do have the time, but I have just struck a deal with this Lady Li. I need to help her kill a xenogeneic, too," Han Sen said, nodding to Li Keer.
Dia Robber and Dragon One looked at Li Keer. They didn't know her. She was one of the Sky, too, so they didn't pay much attention to her after giving her a once-over.
Dia Robber looked happy and he said, "That's okay. Can I book you in for next time?"
"Sure, but I don't have a lack of xenogeneic genes at this point. If you want my help, I'm going to need a geno art as a reward. Lady Li is rewarding me with a geno art, and that is why I'm helping her," Han Sen explained.
"Geno art? What geno art do you want?" Dia Robber was surprised.
"I have heard your race has a geno art called Big Destroyed. From what I've been told about it, I find it quite interesting," Han Sen said.
"I… is there any other geno art I can give you? Big Destroyed is a secret geno art of the Destroyed. We don't teach it to outsiders. Plus, without the body and talent of a Destroyed, it's impossible to learn Big Destroyed. It wouldn't work, even if I did give it to you. If you are interested in geno arts, I can give you another geno art that is on the same level as Big Destroyed," Dia Robber offered.
Han Sen shook his head, looking determined, "For the time being, I'm only interested in Big Destroyed. Please think about it, Brother Robber."
He had too many geno arts to practice already. He didn't have any time to take on more geno arts that he didn't already need. He only wanted Big Destroyed so he could use it as a replacement for Consume. That way, he could absorb things faster.
"We can talk about this more as we travel. What kind of deified xenogeneic are you looking for? If you aren't opposed to the idea, we can help you out with your task." Dia Robber smiled.
"But I don't have anything to pay you with," Han Sen said.
"Being allowed to follow Brother Dollar is enough of a payment already." Dia Robber smiled.
If someone was offering to help them for free, Han Sen had no reason to refuse the offer. So, he brought Dia Robber and the others along. Han Sen had witnessed their powers before, and he knew they could be useful in the hunt for a deified xenogeneic.
Han Sen told Dia Robber and the others about the xenogeneic Li Keer wanted to kill, asking if they had already seen it.
"Li Keer is hunting the Sea Sky Eye?" When Dragon One and Dia Robber heard the deified xenogeneic's name, they were shocked.
Li Keer smiled. "I'm not that powerful. Hence why I asked Dollar for his aid."
Dia Robber sighed and said, "The Sea Sky Eye is known as one of the stronger deified xenogeneics in the core area. He is no weaker than Gold Armor General was. Many races have tried to fight it, but no one has been able to hurt it."
Dia Robber spoke in a hesitant manner as he tried to explain the situation to Han Sen. If he wasn't standing in front of Li Keer, he would have told Han Sen not to take the job.
The Sea Sky Eye was very destructive to Kings and half-deifieds. It was scarier than the Gold Armor General had been.
But Dia Robber couldn't offend the Sky, so he tried to tell Han Sen in a non-direct way. The Sea Sky Eye was a scary being.
Han Sen nodded. "I have heard the Sea Sky Eye appears someplace in this system. Do you know where it can be found?"
Li Keer had mentioned that the Sea Sky Eye was very scary, but Han Sen wanted the final part of Galaxy Teleportation. So, he wasn't planning on running.
Even if he couldn't deal with it, he could always use the Peacock King's soul robe and the Gold Robot General.
"It is difficult to determine. The Sea Sky Eye hangs around this system, but it doesn't have a nest. And it sometimes leaves this system. Encountering it all depends on luck," Dragon One said.
Dragon One and Dia Robber didn't know where the Sea Sky Eye could be found. There was nothing Han Sen could do about that. His only option was to keep trying his luck, hoping to meet the Sea Sky Eye.
"I know that the Sea Sky Eye will be difficult to find. If you guys need Dollar, I can lend him to you first. I'm not in a rush." Li Keer seemed to be an easy woman to get along with.
"Thank you very much." Dia Robber was happy to hear this, but then his expression soured a little. He said, "Brother Dollar, aside from Big Destroyed, is there no other geno art you would be willing to learn?"
"I am only interested in one geno art. I have no interest in any others." Han Sen's answer was very resolute.
"In that case, can you give me some time? I will talk to my people." After Dia Robber said goodbye, he left the core area.
"Hopefully I'll be able to get Big Destroyed now," Han Sen thought to himself. He had so many xenogeneic genes left, and at his current rate, he could only eat three a day.

Chapter 2531 Earning Money and Not Afraid of Trouble
After Dia Robber departed, Han Sen and the others continued their search for the Sea Sky Eye. They were unable to find the Sea Sky Eye, but they did find royal knights of the Extreme King.
When crown prince Bai Wan Jie saw Han Sen and the others, he brought the royal knights with him to fly over and meet with them. He looked at Dollar and said, "Brother Dollar, this is a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Has the crown prince been looking for me?" Han Sen asked, looking at Bai Wan Jie. He frowned and thought, "Why would Bai Wan Jie be here? And why has he brought so many royal knights with him? Surely, it cannot be for me."
"I guess. I would like to hire Brother Dollar to hunt a xenogeneic. Please, name your price," Bai Wan Jie said.
"What kind of xenogeneic are you looking to kill?" Han Sen had a bad feeling about this.
"The Sea Sky Eye," Bai Wan Jie said simply, not trying to hide his intentions.
The name rippled over Han Sen and the others in a wave. They couldn't believe such a coincidence had come about. Bai Wan Jie had picked this time to come and kill the Sea Sky Eye.
Li Keer's face looked shocked, but in her heart, she had known that this might happen. She didn't really need to kill the Sea Sky Eye. She had only asked Han Sen to kill a xenogeneic with her so that she would have an opportunity to get close to him.
She knew the Extreme King wanted to slay the Sea Sky Eye, which was why she had picked this deified in particular. She wanted to see how Dollar might react to the Extreme King stepping on his toes. If Han Sen offended the Extreme King, she could step in and smooth things over. That way, Han Sen would owe her a favor.
Han Sen hesitated, but he still admitted the truth to Bai Wan Jie. "My Prince, I am sorry. I have already accepted the task of slaying the Sea Sky Eye."
Bai Wan Jie's eyes widened. He looked at Dragon One, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Dragon One, the Dragon have just hunted the Gold Armor General. Now you are here to hunt the Sea Sky Eye? You are richer than I thought."
Dragon One shook his head. "This time, we aren't the ones who have hired him. The Dragons aren't after the Sea Sky Eye."
"Then who? The Destroyed?" Bai Wan Jie looked at Han Sen with a raised eyebrow.
"It is me." Li Keer immediately stepped forward, not waiting for Han Sen to answer.
"Are you from Sky Palace?" Upon seeing Li Keer there, Bai Wan Jie frowned.
Sky Palace wasn't stronger than the Extreme King, but they had the Very High backing them up. Because of that, the Extreme King had to be careful about offending the Sky.
The Extreme King's name was enough to back down the Dragon and the Destroyed, but it couldn't put much pressure on Sky Palace.
"What if I am?" Li Keer replied coldly.
"Competition is good fun. Let's see which of us has what it takes, then." Bai Wan Jie smiled. Then, he spoke to Han Sen. "If Brother Dollar is willing to help us, then no price is too high. I believe you know all about the power of the Extreme King. We can offer you much help, so you can kill the Sea Sky Eye with far greater ease."
"My Prince, thank you, but no thank you. Business is established on the foundation of trust. I have already accepted Li Keer's task. I must keep my promise to her," Han Sen said.
"In that case, I won't force you to help us. If you change your mind, however, come and look for me." Bai Wan Jie nodded, then led the royal knights away.
"Brother Dollar, the Extreme King isn't like an ordinary high race. You might not be afraid of them in the core area, but if they come after you outside the core area, you are sure to encounter a lot of trouble." Dragon One frowned at Han Sen.
Han Sen wasn't afraid of the Extreme King. It would be impossible for the Extreme King to find him, and even if they could, he had already offended them. Insulting them further couldn't make things any worse than they currently were.
"If Brother Dollar thinks something is amiss, then we can cancel our deal," Li Keer offered gently.
Han Sen laughed. "If you don't want to hunt the Sea Sky Eye, that's fine. But if you still want to, I will do my best to help you kill it."'
"Of course I want to hunt the fiend, but I don't want to bring you unnecessary trouble," Li Keer said.
"I don't mind trouble as long as I can earn money." Han Sen chuckled again.
After Bai Wan Jie left with his people, Nightmare Knight approached and said, "My Prince, Dollar is going to hunt the Sea Sky Eye. What are we going to do about that?"
"Let us find Sea Sky Eye first. We will have to kill it before he does. We cannot miss it this time," Bai Wan Jie rumbled.
At first, he had wanted to ask Dollar for help. That way, there would be a greater chance of success, and many rare Extreme King items and resources wouldn't have to be wasted. But he had failed to hire Dollar, and he was now in competition with the man. Bai Wan Jie couldn't dwell on this too much. He needed to kill the Sea Sky Eye before his opposition. He couldn't accept having another repeat of what went down with the Gold Armor General.
Giving up the Gold Armor General hadn't cost Bai Wan Jie too much, but he couldn't just abandon his hunt for the Sea Sky Eye. It wouldn't happen again.
The people of the Extreme King were fervently seeking the Sea Sky Eye. Han Sen knew he couldn't search any faster than the Extreme King could, so he didn't bother searching by himself. He decided to follow the Extreme King.
If they found the Sea Sky Eye and had a battle, things would quickly become chaotic. He might have an opportunity.
"Keer, can you tell me what the Sea Sky Eye does?" Han Sen watched the Extreme King look for the Sea Sky Eye like mad, and he found his curiosity piqued.
Li Keer hesitated, but then said, "I suppose I can tell you. The Sea Sky Eye core xenogeneic gene is the primary material for creating Sky Eye replicas."
"Sky Eye replicas? Like Sky Palace's Sky Eyes?" Dragon One grunted. He looked at Li Keer in disbelief.
Li Keer nodded, but she didn't elaborate any further.
Dragon One's face was shocked. "I see. No wonder Bai Wan Jie wants to kill the Sea Sky Eye so badly. With their power, killing most deified core xenogeneics would take more valuable resources than they stand to earn if they are victorious. If Sea Sky Eye can make a replica Sky Eye, however, the price they are paying will be worth it."
"What is a Sky Eye?" Han Sen asked with confusion. He had been in Sky Palace for a long time, but he had never heard of them before.
Dragon One looked at Li Keer and didn't answer Han Sen.
Li Keer laughed harshly and said, "The Sky Eye is the primary defense of Sky Palace. All of Sky Palace's defensive systems depend on their Sky Eye. In regards to the strength of the defensive systems, Sky Palace's defenses are stronger than the Extreme King's. And that is all because of the Sky Eye. The Extreme King want to kill the Sea Sky Eye to create a defensive system as powerful as the Sky's. While this core xenogeneic might not yield a genuine Sky Eye, it could greatly increase the defensive power of the Extreme King."

"That means Bai Wan Jie is confident that he'll be able to obtain a Sea Sky Eye?" Han Sen frowned.
Li Keer smiled. "That is why I said, if you think this is too troublesome, you don't have to help me locate and destroy the creature. I want the Sea Sky Eye, but not as much as the Extreme King do."
"I don't mind trying to get it. The Extreme King might not be strong enough to take it down anyway," Han Sen said flippantly. But inside, he was thinking about how he was going to get his hands on the Sea Sky Eye.
When Dia Robber finally returned, the royal knights still hadn't found the Sea Sky Eye.
Clearly, the Destroyed had spotted the royal knights scouring the system for the Sea Sky Eye. When he saw them, he asked in surprise, "Why are the Extreme King here?
Dragon One explained the situation to him, and in response, Dia Robber said, "If the Extreme King believe they are going to get it, I doubt there will be much for us to do in this system. I have spoken to my people. Dollar, they have agreed to allow you to learn Big Destroyed as a reward for helping us slay a deified xenogeneic. I can't give you part of the geno art as a downpayment, though. We are hoping that you will help us defeat the deified xenogeneic before receiving the reward, and in the event that you don't trust us, we can give the Big Destroyed to a trusted third-party to hold onto. The third-party will pay you after the deified xenogeneic has been slain. What do you think of that, Dollar?"
"Sure. Let the Dragons hold onto the geno art, then," Han Sen said.
"I thought of that as well. I would like to ask you to help us, Dragon One." Dia Robber looked at Dragon One as he spoke.
"Sure." The Dragon promptly agreed.
"I have brought Big Destroyed here with me. Should we sign the agreement now?" Dia Robber asked, presenting a little box.
"There is no rush. Let me finish-off this Sea Sky Eye, and then I will sign." Han Sen waved his hand.
The people around him were shocked. No one had expected that Han Sen still intended to defeat the Sea Sky Eye after learning of the Extreme King's interference.
"Brother Dollar, the Extreme King are very strong. Plus, they are very confident in their task here. They must have made special preparations, and they will have tricks up their sleeves. There is no need to fight with them over this," Dragon One said, attempting to persuade Han Sen to drop the matter.
"I'm just here to try my luck. I have nothing against Bai Wan Jie." Han Sen paused, and then went on to say, "In regards to signing the contract, let us wait until this has been resolved first. You guys probably shouldn't stick around. Why don't you leave for now? When I'm done here, I will contact you both."
Dragon One and Dia Robber looked at each other with apprehension, and then they took their people and left.
The Dragons were frequent allies of the Extreme King. Although the Destroyed didn't often see eye to eye with the Extreme King, they also didn't want to risk a falling out with such a powerful race. So, they thought it was a good idea to leave now, as well.
After Dragon One and Dia Robber left, Han Sen spoke to Li Keer and said, "You should leave, too. If I get the Sea Sky Eye, I will deliver it to you."
Li Keer smiled and said, "I'm not as strong as you, but I do have Galaxy Teleportation. I'm perfectly capable of getting myself out of trouble, if need be. You just mind your own business without fretting over my wellbeing."
Han Sen had no response for that. He merely proceeded to wander around the system, slaying xenogeneics as he went. He seemed to be meandering aimlessly, but he carefully stayed within the borders of the system.
If the intruder had been anyone else, Bai Wan Jie would have sent his people to chase them away. The crown prince wouldn't allow anyone to hover around him like a vulture. But Han Sen's performance against the Gold Armor General had been terrifying. It made others fearful of him.
Although the Extreme King's royal knights had an impressive reputation, they weren't confident that they could defeat Han Sen in the core area. Instead of attempting to oust him, they sent scouts to watch him and attempt to contain him, if need be.
Han Sen didn't feel guilty at all about his plan to steal from the Extreme King.
He had expected to wait a long time before the Sea Sky Eye was found, but it was only two days later when he felt a scary shockwave rolling out from a distant spot in the system. Bai Wan Jie must have discovered the Sea Sky Eye, and he was in the process of killing it.
Han Sen wanted to travel there, but two royal knights barred his way.
"Where are you going?" a royal guard said while looking at Han Sen.
"Why do I have to tell you where I'm going?" Han Sen asked icily.
The royal knight wasn't angered, but his face remained impassive as he said, "You don't have to tell me where you're going, but if you are headed for the battlefield, then you will become an enemy of the Extreme King. I hope you think this through."
Before Han Sen could speak, the other royal knight said, "Our crown prince said that if you are willing to stay here and not interfere in the fight, he will owe you a big favor. We would appreciate it greatly."
"In that case, I will not go. Please tell the crown prince not to break his promise," Han Sen said. Then he turned around to leave.
Both of them were shocked. When they were sent there, the two knights had been ordered to stop Dollar no matter what. They were prepared for a fight to the death, but Dollar was actually being nice. He departed after a brief exchange of words.
But they still felt uneasy. They followed Han Sen, not wanting to let him escape their watch.
"Giving up was a good idea. After all, they are the Extreme King." Li Keer let out an exaggerated sigh.
Han Sen laughed and said, "Lady Keer, do you like chess?"
"Chess?" Li Keer was shocked.
"Yes, chess." Han Sen nodded. "Do you play?"
"I know how to play chess, but why are you asking?" Li Keer didn't know what Han Sen wanted.
"Please play a game of chess with me." Han Sen pointed to a planet that was far away. "How about there?"
Li Keer knew Han Sen was up to something, but instead of asking what he was planning, she just nodded.
The two of them arrived on the planet. They found a quiet place and set up the chess game. When the two royal knights who were stalking him saw Dollar playing chess with a female Sky, they were surprised.
"What is he doing?" A royal knight mumbled in confusion.
The other royal knight laughed and said, "So, what? No matter how strong he is, he is just a King. Plus, he is a King from a nameless race. He wouldn't dare make enemies of the Extreme King. He made the right decision."
"I hope so. That way, we won't have to die." The royal knights were finally beginning to relax. They had seen Han Sen fight the Gold Armor General, and so they didn't want to fight him.
Li Keer, who was playing chess with Han Sen, thought that they had dramatically misjudged Han Sen's intentions. That was because she wasn't actually playing chess with Han Sen; she was playing with a doppelganger. The real Han Sen had left a long time ago. Even Li Keer hadn't felt it when he teleported away.
"This guy really is brave. He dares to steal from the Extreme King. Not only that, but he's taking something that they want really badly." Although Li Keer was playing chess, she wasn't paying much attention to the game. Her eyes were flashing, and a starscape gleamed across them. It was the image of Bai Wan Jie fighting the Sea Sky Eye.

Chapter 2533: Emperor Staff
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All the royal knights were lined up, surrounding a giant eyeball that looked like a blue gem. It was as big as a moon. Although the knights were all Kings who had powerful areas, most of the knights weren't using their powers.
They had been split up into teams, and every team had a leader. Under the leader's command, the Kings released their powers and areas one by one. The process was smooth, and there were no errors or faults. The knights worked together like a well-oiled machine, and the fight was precise, tidy, and unhindered.
Han Sen had allowed Bubble to take on his appearance and play chess. Meanwhile, he snuck into the battleground. He hid between the asteroids so he could watch the crazy fight unfold.
Han Sen had to compliment them. There were many elites in the Extreme King. For every one hundred Kings, there were twenty to thirty half-deifieds. They had all kinds of powers, which could be used in any way they deemed suitable.
The half-deifieds that could use Galaxy Teleportation were the types that Dia Robber and Dragon One had spent so much time looking for. The royal knights had two soldiers with those powers.
The powers of the various knights were utilized very well. They trapped the giant blue gem eyeball within their circle, and no matter how many times the blue gem eyeball released its blue light, it couldn't break out of its cage. It was unable to hurt the members of the royal knights.
The power that bound the creature was completely silent, and Bai Wan Jie hovered to the side as he watched the fight. He didn't even participate in the actual battle. But Han Sen had noticed that the leader of the knights seemed to have a heart. The man used his heart to command the knights, and that was why their performance had been so flawless.
"So strong. The Extreme King's geniuses are too strong compared to the geniuses of other races. Any of their Kings that awaken their king bodies have a great chance of becoming deified. Compared to the other high races that must practice for so long, having a king body is like using a cheat code." Han Sen sighed. He was very hopeful about humans.
Every human that came from the Sanctuary had a super god body. If their development was spurred and humans eventually developed an army, it would be stronger than any army of the Extreme King.
However, in this fight, even the powerful Extreme King knights surrounding the Sea Sky Eye were unable to hurt it.
The Sea Sky Eye kept dancing and releasing blue lights. Although it couldn't escape the circle of knights, its enemies were still unable to hurt it.
Han Sen continued to watch the battle proceed for a while longer. The reason the Extreme King knights couldn't injure the Sky Eye was simple; the Sky Eye had a special eye skill.
No matter how complicated the attacks of the Extreme King knights were or how perfectly they cooperated, the Sky Eye was impervious to all their attacks. It wouldn't allow any powers to land on it.
"If this continues, the royal knights are going to lose," Han Sen thought.
After all, the Sea Sky Eye casually brushed off every attack of the royal knights. The knights had much more difficulty resisting the eye's attacks, by comparison. Using group Galaxy Teleportation was particularly exhausting for the Extreme King soldiers. Casting that geno cost a lot of energy, and after a few uses, the caster would grow tired.
"Bai Wan Jie must have another trick up his sleeve, right?" Han Sen was still hiding, not yet planning on doing anything. He just watched the scary fight play out.
The powers being used in the fight were flashing across space, causing the darkness itself to shake. Normal people would see it all like a rainbow light in space, with a few shockwaves causing the light to ripple and jump. They wouldn't see anything in detail.
Han Sen was so far away, but he had his Purple-Eye Butterfly and Spell sniper rifle. His view of the battle was crystal clear, which allowed him to keep up with every attack and parry. As he watched, he was learning a lot.
"I didn't know that ice element skills could be used that way… And that must be a metal area…" While Han Sen watched with interest, the Sea Sky Eye suddenly became brighter. The moon-like Sea Sky Eye lit up. It was now like a sun that was releasing blue light.
A blue glow spread along its substance chains, breaking the areas of the knights effortlessly. They were completely helpless to stop it. The blue light was everywhere, and there was nothing they could do to evade it. From the looks of it, one hundred royal knights were about to be killed on the spot.
Bai Wan Jie, who was watching the fight, finally moved. He was holding a staff that looked as if it had been made of platinum. A crystal ball was mounted on the top of the staff, and when Bai Wan Jie raised his staff, the crystal ball began to shine. It released some transparent substance chains, which shielded the royal knights with a screen of crystal.
When the Sea Sky Eye's blue light struck that layer of crystal, the light disappeared. It was actually unable to break through that layer of crystal.
"What is that staff? How does it possess so much power?" Han Sen was shocked. Bai Wan Jie was just half-deified. Even if he was wielding a deified weapon, he shouldn't have been able to trigger a deified substance chain.
But now, Bai Wan Jie was using his staff to protect all the royal knights from the attacks of the Sea Sky Eye. Han Sen didn't know what to make of the sight.
"Attack!" Bai Wan Jie raised his staff. The transparent substance chain kept buffing the knights, and the knights surged forward like a legion of the undead. Suddenly, none of them were afraid of the Sea Sky Eye's power anymore, so they stopped defending themselves and focused all their strength on attacking.
The Sea Sky Eye was strangely enraged. The blue light it wielded was so strong that it looked like an angry blue star. Han Sen could barely look in the creature's direction. But even so, the Sea Sky Eye couldn't break the defense of the transparent substance chain.
The powers of the knights finally landed on the creature, but they weren't very effective. They could barely damage the Sea Sky Eye.
Han Sen used his sniper rifle to aim at Bai Wan Jie. The man's body was releasing a white light. The staff sucked in the light he was producing, then pumped out transparent substance chains in return.
"Weird. Bai Wan Jie is fueling the staff with his own power, but he's obviously producing way more power than a half-deified should be capable of. At the rate that the staff's draining his strength, even Dragon One would only last for a few seconds. But Bai Wan Jie is maintaining that output, and he has yet to look exhausted. That isn't normal," Han Sen thought to himself.
Bai Wan Jie did look pale, but he wasn't about to collapse.
Bzzt!
As Han Sen watched Bai Wan Jie, something happened to the Sea Sky Eye.

Chapter 2534 Gold General Appears
The Sea Sky Eye seemed to notice that its blue lights were unable to kill the knights, but it still lashed out angrily. It imbued its blue light with even greater strength. When the substance chains coming from the Sea Sky Eye seemed to reach their maximum power, the creature's blindingly bright body seemed to suddenly darken. A giant blue vortex formed around the creature and began sucking everything else toward it.
The King class elites blasted their power at the blue vortex in an attempt to disrupt its pull, but their efforts were fruitless. Not even the half-deifieds could resist the attractive force of the vortex. Under the power of that scary suction, they went flying forward.
As a few of the knights got sucked into the blue vortex, Bai Wan Jie suddenly shouted, "Nightmare, now!"
The leader of the knights was drawing near the vortex. Hearing Bai Wan Jie's shout, he pulled out an item. Han Sen adjusted his scope to get a better view. The Extreme King leader was holding an object that looked like an old statue. The statue seemed familiar to Han Sen. After a second, he placed it.
"An Ancient God Statue?" Han Sen was shocked.
The statue blazed with light the moment that the man pulled it out. The light created a mysterious shadow that shielded Nightmare Knight. It also increased Nightmare Knight's power, giving him deified strength in an instant. A gold substance chain appeared around his body.
This Ancient God Statue was different from the one that Han Sen had seen before. This one was giving its user metal powers.
Nightmare Knight didn't hesitate. Once he had received the metal powers from the Ancient God Statue, he pulled out a metallic spear. Han Sen could see that the spear was laden with mysterious symbols. As the deified metal power flowed into Nightmare Knight, the symbols across the spear became very bright. Metal substance chains swirled around the spear, transforming the spear into an old, mysterious metal pillar.
Nightmare Knight roared and shoved the mysterious metal pillar into the blue vortex.
"An Ancient God Statue and a deified treasure? The Extreme King are wealthy indeed!" Han Sen didn't blink. He just stared at Sea Sky Eye and the mysterious metal pillar. He wanted to see what would happen next.
That mysterious metal pillar looked like the weapon of some ancient sea deity as it was thrust into the blue vortex. When the pillar touched the vortex, the swirling blue power began to slow. The metal pillar was driven deeper and deeper into the vortex, and the blue power began to shine strangely. It was like a series of thunderbolts were striking the pillar. The creature's attacks failed to break the pillar, though. Cracks began to spread through space around the blue vortex, and every time the pillar sank another inch into the vortex, one of the Sea Sky Eye's substance chains fell apart.
The Sea Sky Eye seemed to have realized that something wasn't quite right. It wanted to retreat, but it was too late for that. The mysterious metal pillar has suppressed the vortex and pinned the creature in place. As the seconds ticked by, the pillar pierced relentlessly through the creature's defenses.
Han Sen could see that the Sea Sky Eye wasn't going to last. Since the time had arrived, he quickly summoned the Gold Armor General beast soul. With his new beast soul cloaking his form, he headed straight for the Sea Sky Eye.
Han Sen hadn't been flying for long when something changed within the Sea Sky Eye again. The blue vortex that had spun like water became ice. It froze the metal pillar that was half-way inside it.
From afar, it looked like a long metal pencil sticking out of a giant blue eyeball. It was an extremely disturbing sight.
"All of you! Deploy your power to push the pillar inside. We have to use it to suppress the Sea Sky Eye!" Bai Wan Jie's face had become grim as he shouted the new command.
The royal knights reacted quickly. They hurled all of their scary powers at the end of the metal pillar, striking it like they were hammering in a nail. With each new explosion of power, they pushed the metal pillar deeper into the blue eyeball.
As the metal pillar went in, the cracks across the blue eyeball widened and spread. The eyeball was growing too weak. It was going to shatter.
Bai Wan Jie's eyes brightened as he watched the Sea Sky Eye's strength fail. He knew that success was within arm's reach.
They were sacrificing a great deal for this victory. It had taken the combined powers of an Ancient God Statue, a Sky God Pillar, and an Emperor Staff. The Sky God Pillar and Emperor Staff could be used again, but the Ancient God Statue was a one-time use item.
And because he used the Emperor Staff, he had burned through a lot of the strength in his king body. He had used his body's power to activate the Emperor Staff, and using it for so long had cost him a lot of energy. He would be another year or two before he recovered his strength.
eCOV
But as long as he could get the Sea Sky Eye's xenogeneic gene, it would all be worth it.
As Bai Wan Jie's excitement grew, a gold light flashed by him. A gold form appeared behind the Sky God Pillar, drawing his attention.
"Gold Armor General! Why is a Gold Armor General here?" Bai Wan Jie's brain had no idea what to do with what he was seeing.
All the royal knights stared in shock, as well. They couldn't imagine why there was a Gold Armor General before them, so they had no idea how to react.
Finishing off the Sea Sky Eye was taking all their power, and now a Gold Armor General had appeared out of nowhere. They had no clue what to do.Boom!
Before they could muster a reaction, Han Sen used the Gold Armor General to slam the Sky God Pillar's base. A glowing gold substance chain hurtled into the Sky God Pillar, shoving the pillar all the way into the Sea Sky Eye. A hole appeared in the moon-sized Sea Sky Eye.
"Core Deified Xenogeneic hunted: Sea Sky Core Eye. Xenogeneic gene found."
As this announcement played inside Han Sen's head, he felt disappointed that he hadn't received a beast soul.
Han Sen didn't stop, though. He drove the gold general into the big hole that the Sky God Pillar had opened up. As he flew, he saw a fist-sized blue eyeball. He grabbed it in his hand as he went through the body of the Sea Sky Eye. When the gold general emerged from the other side of the Sea Sky Eye, the creature's giant corpse suddenly collapsed. It shattered, spraying out like chips on blue ice. The explosion washed over the system like a quick, passing blizzard.
Han Sen returned to the Sky God Pillar. As its power faded, it returned to its shape as a spear. The gold general grabbed it, then turned and raced off at full speed.
Bai Wan Jie and all the royal knights in the area had seen the bloody cape flying behind the figure. And they had seen the golden pipes spewing fire. The place now looked quiet and dead.
"Gold Armor General stole the Sky God Pillar and the Sea Sky Eye's core gene," Bai Wan Jie seethed. When the shock wore off, he was so angry that he felt like he was about to vomit. He wanted to chase after the Gold Armor General, but it was too late to do so. The Gold Armor General was barely visible at this point; it was little more than a golden dot in the distance.

Chapter 2535 One Move
"What the f*ck is going on?" Bai Wan Jie was angry and frustrated, but more than anything else, he was simply confused.
Gold Armor General had been killed by Dollar and Dragon One. Why would it have appeared here, all of a sudden? And on top of that, it had taken the Sea Sky Eye's core gene and the Sky God Pillar.
It wasn't uncommon for there to be multiple of the same type of xenogeneic in the core area, but if there had been a second deified Gold Armor General, someone would have noticed.
Bai Wan Jie could only think of one possibility. Although it was hard to believe, he couldn't think of any other reasonable explanations for what had happened.
"Dollar? Where is Dollar?"
Li Keer's mouth was hanging open, and she showed no signs of remembering to close it.
She hadn't been sure where Han Sen had gone when he sneaked away from their chess match, but she had assumed he had headed toward the battleground. Because of that, she had been keeping a careful eye on the events of the battle. Seeing the gold general destroy the Sea Sky Eye and steal the Sky God Pillar had been a shock for her, too.
She knew that Gold Armor General had been killed by Dollar, so seeing the Gold Armor General show up again had been unexpected, to say the least.
But her shock was different from Bai Wan Jie's. Li Keer kept staring at the spot where the Gold Armor General had vanished. When the Gold Armor General flew away from the battlefield, she had lost her ability to sense it. She couldn't feel any trace of its presence.
"Was that Dollar?" Li Keer knew the Gold Armor General had to be connected to Dollar in some capacity. There was more chance of that than of it being under Bai Wan Jie's control, at least. Li Keer was certain it was Dollar because he was the only person she knew who could evade being picked up by the Very High Sense. Aside from Dollar, Li Keer was confident that no one in this system could commit such an act and then escape her senses.
Not long after, Li Keer saw the Dollar sitting in front of her become blurry for a moment. If she wasn't right in front of Dollar, she wouldn't even have noticed when his real body returned from the battlefield.
Li Keer looked at Han Sen and opened her mouth to say something, but before she could speak, Bai Wan Jie rushed up and surrounded them with a contingent of his royal knights. "Dollar, hand over the Sea Sky Eye core gene and the Sky God Pillar," Bai Wan Jie said while looking at Han Sen.
"My Prince, you must be looking for the wrong person." Han Sen raised his head and coldly met the man's stare.
"Give me the core gene and the Sky God Pillar. Then, we can pretend nothing happened, and I will still owe you a favor," Bai Wan Jie said with a frown.
Han Sen opened his palms wide and said, "Crown prince, I would certainly enjoy it if you owed me a favor, but I really don't have the core gene or the Sky God Pillar. I've never even seen the things you are speaking about."
Bai Wan Jie coldly looked at Han Sen. He could not be sure if Gold Armor General was related to Dollar, but the Extreme King had paid a lot for what they had just lost. They even wasted an Ancient God Statue. He couldn't just let it go and return to his people with nothing
"In that case, you'll need to come with us and explain the situation to our people," Bai Wan Jie said slowly, staring at Han Sen.
"Do you Extreme Kings really enjoy throwing your weight around that much? Just because you told us not to come close to the battleground, I obliged, My Prince. When your people approached me, I turned around and left as requested. Now, you haven't even thanked me. And what's more, you're trying to accuse me of stealing your stuff. What kind of person do you think I am?" Han Sen's voice had grown chilly, and his face was darkening.
Bai Wan Jie had already spoken to the two half-deifieds he set to guard Dollar, so he knew that Dollar was speaking the truth. But Dollar was the one who had killed the Gold Armor General. And it had appeared in the battleground and stolen the Sea Sky Eye core gene and the Sky God Pillar. The entire situation was way too coincidental, which was why Bai Wan Jie refused to believe there was no connection between the thief and Dollar.
"You think too much. I'd just like you to help investigate this crime. Please, do a favor for the Extreme King and come with us," Bai Wan Jie said, his voice becoming less accusatory. He was still suspicious, though, and he wouldn't let it go easily.
Plus, there was too much that he didn't know about Dollar, anyway. He was going to take the strange man back to the Extreme King no matter what.
Li Keer knew it was her time to say something. Dollar was being pushed to the edge, but all she had to do was reveal her true self. If she did that, Bai Wan Jie would leave. Then, Dollar would be impressed by who she was and owe her a favor. It was a two birds with one stone opportunity.
Li Keer narrowed her eyes. She was going to say something, but Han Sen laughed and said, "Bai Wan Jie, do you think that all other races are merely slaves of the Extreme King? Do you think others must do whatever you bid them to? You think far too highly of your heritage."
"The universe doesn't belong to us, but you still have to come with us today." Bai Wan Jie stood as still as a statue, and he continued to glare down on Han Sen.
Many of the Extreme King knights drew closer. They built a formation to block all of Han Sen's potential escape routes. Whenever Bai Wan Jie gave the command, they would use their powers against Dollar in tandem, the same way they had fought against the Sea Sky Eye. Even if Dollar had the power to fight a deified elite, their powers would allow them to stand up to him.
Han Sen was still sitting in front of the chessboard with a chess piece in his hand. He paid little attention to the royal knights, and his mind was clearly still focused on his next move.
"It looks like I'm going to have to force you back," Bai Wan Jie growled.Before he could give the command, Nightmare Knight had already activated his heart area. The King class knights unleashed their powers in sequence, layering their areas over Han Sen and Li Keer. The scary powers seemed demonic, and it suddenly felt like some unimaginable apocalypse was bearing down upon them.
"This is good. I won't save Dollar until the Extreme King has pushed him to the brink. My last-minute rescue will be even more staggering," Li Keer smugly thought.
Those scary areas came down with enough power to destroy an entire planet. And all the while, Han Sen continued to deliberate his chess move without a care in the world.
Red, orange, yellow, green, chartreuse, blue, and purple areas spread out around them. Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning; all kinds of overwhelming powers roared. Knives, swords, spears, and axes were breaking the sky as they came. Attacks were surging toward Han Sen from all directions.
But Han Sen still sat where he was without moving. It was like the enormous wave of lethal power didn't even exist. Han Sen's brow was furrowed in thought, as if the chess game in front of him was more important than anything
Li Keer frowned. When she saw that Han Sen was giving no indication that he wanted to move, she hadn't a clue about what he was planning to do.
As that tsunami of power prepared to crash down across him, Han Sen set his chess piece down on the chessboard. The chess piece clicked, loud and clear, as it touched down on the chessboard.
That crunchy, striking sound was like a switch getting flicked. The moment the chess piece came down, the roaring rain, wind, thunder, sword lights, knife lights, and scary areas vanished. The attacks became shadows, then faded entirely.

Chapter 2536: Very High
In that instant, the faces of Bai Wan Jie and all the royal knights grew pale. They all knew that what had just happened wasn't a dream. Hundreds of Kings and half-deifieds had summoned and unleashed their power.
But without moving, Han Sen had erased everyone's power in the blink of an eye. What he had done was scarcely believable.
Li Keer's face changed, too. She couldn't wrap her mind around what had just happened, and she stared at Han Sen where he sat casually. There was no way that she could have done what he just did so easily.
"The No Taboo skill… you are of the Very High!" Bai Wan Jie suddenly said to Han Sen.
"I'm not one of the Very High. I am human," Han Sen said simply.
Although Han Sen denied it, Bai Wan Jie did believe he was one of the Very High. He raised his hand and said, "If you are one of the Very High, then this is beyond my ability to handle. But the Extreme King will demand an explanation from the Very High's elder."
After that, Bai Wan Jie waved his hand, and his royal knights formed ranks and left with him. Not a single one remained.
Han Sen was shocked. He didn't know what was going on. He had already used his gold general, and he was ready to kill them if he had to. But when he canceled their powers, he had simply used his Dongxuan Area. He didn't know what was wrong with Bai Wan Jie. After declaring that Han Sen was one of the Very High, the man had stormed off like a sulking child and threatened to tattle on Dollar to the Very High.
Li Keer didn't know how to process what had just transpired. She felt numb. She could no longer predict what might happen next. Bai Wan Jie believed Dollar was one of the Very High.
There was a Very High present, but that Very High was Li Keer, okay? She felt rather indignant that Bai Wan Jie had assumed Dollar was the Very High.
"You cannot blame Bai Wan Jie for his assumption, though," Li Keer thought glumly. "The powers Dollar used are similar to my No Taboo of the Very High. But while the two powers might be similar, they aren't exactly the same."
Li Keer had planned to reveal herself as one of the Very High, suppress Bai Wan Jie, and pull Dollar out of the fire. But by assuming that Dollar was a Very High, Bai Wan Jie had stolen her thunder. It made her—the real thing—become quite speechless.
If she said she was one of the Very High now, the effect she expected would be gone. Han Sen wouldn't owe her anything, and it'd just make things awkward.
"You are one of the Very High?" Li Keer asked, looking at Han Sen and pretending to be shocked.
"I'm not one of the Very High. Didn't I tell you I was human?" Han Sen said in annoyance.
Li Keer laughed. "If you were one of the Very High, just the name would shock anyone. The Very High are the first race in the universe. If I was one of the Very High, I would be proud to reveal it."
"I don't know anything about the Very High," Han Sen grumbled. "I am human and I am proud of it!"
"Right." Li Keer thought to herself, "I have never even heard of humans before. How can he compare himself to us?"
"Let's just go," Han Sen said, standing up.
"Give me the core gene." Li Keer reached out her hand.
"What core gene?" Han Sen pretended to be shocked as he looked at Li Keer.
Although he had the Sea Sky Eye core gene, he hesitated to give it to her. He wondered if it was really a worthwhile trade to swap it for the final part of Li Keer's Galaxy Teleportation teaching.
This was the primary material for creating a Sky Eye defensive system; he wouldn't find another one. This was the only material of this type that he would be able to use in trade.
There was also the fact that Han Sen had used the Gold Robot General to steal the Sea Sky Eye. If he gave it to Li Keer, that meant divulging his association to the gold general. If word about this got out to the Extreme King, nothing would stop them from coming after him.
Although Han Sen wasn't afraid of provoking the Extreme King, there was no need for him to do something that wouldn't earn him a benefit.
Li Keer smiled and said, "My power isn't incredibly strong, but I can be insightful. I have another skill that is akin to Galaxy Teleportation, and I'm very good at reading situations. I have seen you control the Gold Armor General to steal the Sea Sky Eye and the Sky God Pillar. I also watched you exit the Gold Armor General. Are you going to break your promise?"
Li Keer was just bluffing Han Sen, though. Of course, she hadn't seen Han Sen exit the Gold Armor General.
Han Sen was shocked. Li Keer should have been playing chess here the entire time. If she was able to tell what happened in the fight, she couldn't have been bluffing.
But Han Sen didn't believe she had really seen him come out of the Gold Armor General. He had used his Dongxuan Area to keep the universal cogwheels around him from moving. If someone was watching him, he should have been able to feel it.
But Li Keer was smart. When she saw Han Sen looking so shocked, she knew she was right. She looked at Han Sen with surprise, and said, "I was just guessing. It really was you, huh?"
Han Sen shrugged slightly. He neither denied nor admitted it. He pulled out the Sky Eye Core gene and presented it to her.
If Li Keer had guessed this, then there was no point in him denying it. Although the Sea Sky Eye was good, Han Sen didn't even know how to build a Sky Eye. It was pointless for him to hold onto it.
Plus, Han Sen was very interested in the final part of Galaxy Teleportation. So, he decided to make the exchange with Li Keer.
Even if Li Keer told people that he had stolen the Sea Sky Eye, it wouldn't really affect him. No one knew who Dollar was, anyway.
"How did you do that? You can control the Gold Armor General?" Li Keer looked at Han Sen as she moved to take the Sea Sky Eye.
"Where is the final part of Galaxy Teleportation? We make the trade at the same time." Han Sen pulled his hand back, not allowing Li Keer to take the Sea Sky Eye.
Li Keer hesitated. She wasn't really all that interested in the Sea Sky Eye. The item could make a fake Sky Eye, but it wouldn't have the power of the original. It would be great if it could copy just sixty percent of a real Sky Eye's strength. Maybe the weaker Extreme King might have been interested, but the Very High didn't need such a bauble.
But if Li Keer didn't make the trade, they might have to go their separate ways. And that was something Li Keer did not want.
"The next part is complicated. You didn't even finish the first part of Galaxy Teleportation, so you wouldn't understand even if I told you the final part. But that is okay. I have time, and so I will teach you slowly," Li Keer said with a laugh.
Li Keer didn't ask Han Sen to hand the Sea Sky Eye over, which made him feel a little more comfortable with the arrangement. He took Li Keer with him to continue hunting xenogeneics.
Before Han Sen traveled far, Dragon One and Dia Robber flew over to them. Dia Robber looked extra happy as he said, "Brother Dollar, you must be one of the Very High! How can you be so strong?"
"I worry too much. If Brother Dollar is one of the Very High, it doesn't matter how brave Bai Wan Jie is: he will never dare to hurt a hair on your head," Dragon One said.
Han Sen and Li Keer looked weirded out upon hearing this, but they were reacting for very different reasons.

Chapter 2537: Big Evil Beast
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Who told you I was one of the Very High?" Han Sen asked with confusion.
Li Keer wanted to ask this, as well, but she didn't have a chance to.
"Brother Dollar, stop hiding it from us. We have heard that you stole the Sea Sky Eye and the deified treasure Sky God Pillar from Bai Wan Jie before he could even fart," Dia Robber said.
Dragon One was technically an ally of the Extreme King, but the three big races hadn't started fighting yet. The Dragon wouldn't do anything to the people of the Very High. Instead, as the leader of the three big races, the Very High had an even better reputation than the Extreme King did. When it became a matter of life and death, no one would ever oppose the Very High.
"I'm not one of the Very High. I am human. I said that a long time ago," Han Sen said.
"We understand that Brother Dollar is human." Dragon One and Dia Robber looked at each other. For a moment, Han Sen thought they were going to wink knowingly at each other.
Han Sen looked at their faces, and he knew he hadn't explained things well enough. But still, Han Sen wasn't in the mood to talk about it anymore. So, he didn't speak.
Li Keer, however, was very frustrated. She wanted to say that Dollar wasn't one of the Very High and that she actually was, but now wasn't the time to mention something like that.
"How did things come to this?" Li Keer couldn't figure out how she had gotten herself into this situation.
Dollar said he was human, but now people were recognizing him as one of the Very High. And a Very High like her couldn't even explain things clearly.
"Brother Dollar, do you have the time to hunt a deified xenogeneic with me? I have prepared Big Destroyed," Dia Robber said to Han Sen with an excited look.
The Destroyed hadn't been very happy to bargain with their precious Big Destroyed, but now that they thought Han Sen was one of the Very High, their apprehension vanished. They weren't just happy to proceed with the deal; they felt honored.
It was like saying, "Are you seeing this? Even the Very High are interested in a geno art that we Destroyed have created. They want to research our Big Destroyed. Do you know how strong our Destroyed geno arts are? We have geno arts that even the Very High are interested in."
Of course, the Destroyed didn't make their true feelings known openly. They were just more than willing to make this exchange using Big Destroyed. Han Sen wasn't just going to be given Big Destroyed, though; the Destroyed were going to provide a manual and a heap of extra information to go along with the geno art. Unlike their previous meeting, Dia Robber had actually brought the geno art with him this time.
"Sure. We can go now. Sign the contract and give Big Destroyed to Dragon One to hold onto." Han Sen nodded.
Dia Robber pushed the box containing Big Destroyed to Han Sen and said, "I totally trust you. You can take a look at Big Destroyed first. It's okay!"
"There are actually some benefits to having that Very High title erroneously above my head…" Han Sen thought. He knew that Dia Robber still believed he was one of the Very High, which was why the man was being so kind. Still, Han Sen didn't see any point in explaining since he had no intention of betraying his word.
"What is going on?" Li Keer thought again. Hearing all this made her want to cry.
Han Sen accepted Big Destroyed and had a look. He discovered that there were many manuals and pamphlets of information, which would make the geno art easier for him to learn.
Han Sen quickly flicked through Big Destroyed and memorized all the contents. He would practice it whenever he had the time to.
Due to the fact this geno art required the talents of the Destroyed, Han Sen didn't know if he would be able to learn it.
The deified xenogeneic Dia Robber wanted to kill was called Big Evil Beast. It was both incredibly powerful and insanely fast. It also possessed an evil area. Inside that area, no matter how great your defenses were, you would be weakened. Even deified creatures in its radius would be reduced to half-deified or even King level. There was no way they could defeat the Big Evil Beast.
"Brother Dollar, how are we going to kill the Big Evil Beast?" Dia Robber had plans of his own, and he only required Han Sen's power. But after learning that Han Sen was one of the Very High, Dia Robber was more interested in hearing Han Sen's thoughts and ideas for tackling such a foe.
Han Sen asked, "How did you guys plan on fighting it?"
"We planned to combine our powers to restrain the Big Evil Beast, and then have you perform the deadly strike," Dia Robber explained their attack strategy. "What do you think about the plan?"
"We'll use your plan, then." Han Sen didn't have an opinion on the matter. He thought this plan would work because the Big Evil Beast probably had a weakness somewhere, as well. It wouldn't be like ordinary deifieds outside the core area, which were flawless. Cooperating with them to fell the Big Evil Beast wouldn't be too difficult.
Seeing that Dollar wasn't opposed to their plan, Dia Robber and Dragon One believed he was just too polite. They would never have expected that Han Sen simply wasn't interested in coming up with a plan of his own.
Li Keer could see Dia Robber and Dragon One falling in love with Han Sen, and it made her as angry as she was amused. She was the genuine Very High of the assembly, and yet, no one even paid any attention to her. And yet they lavished attention on Dollar, who was a fake Very High.
"Wait until you guys learn the truth. It'll be funny to see how you respond to that revelation," Li Keer laughed. She didn't plan to expose the reality of the situation, however. She was going to go along with the charade for a while.
After a brief journey, everyone arrived where the Big Evil Beast was said to reside. Dragon One and Dia Robber sent out a lot of people to draw the creature into the open so Han Sen could perform the final strike.
Dia Robber borrowed Dragon One's Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger and gave it to Han Sen. Although they believed Han Sen was one of the Very High and thus had no lack of deified weaponry, they still did what they believed was courteous and right. They didn't want to make a bad impression.
"I can use Galaxy Teleportation. If you need my help, I can lend a hand," Li Keer volunteered. She said this to Dia Robber, but she only wanted to fight alongside Han Sen to further refine their tender friendship.
But Dia Robber shook his head. "Thank you, Lady Keer, but you can just spectate. We are fine with Dollar's help."
Li Keer felt so sad, and she thought to herself, "There is a real Very High here, and yet you leave her on the sidelines. And you're spending so much to hire a fake Very High in the belief that you're getting a bargain. Are you guys stupid?"
Li Keer knew she couldn't blame Dia Robber or the others, but she still felt depressed about it.
Han Sen was waiting in the system. A short while later, Dragon One and Dia Robber rushed out of a planet. They were being chased by a very scary giant beast.
The beast looked like a tiger, and it was pitch black. Its body was covered in scales, though, and a pair of enormous wings spread out behind it. The tail looked like a lion's tail.
When it flapped its wings to fly, black smoke billowed out behind it. It was like a monster soaring out of the pits of hell.
Dia Robber and Dragon One led a dozen half-deifieds to restrict the Big Evil Beast, but their performance was worse than it had been when they fought the Gold Armor General. After a short while, they were on the cusp of losing.
"Brother Dollar, it is your time!" Dragon One cast the Dragon Blood Evilbreaker and shouted to Han Sen.

Chapter 2538: Killing Big Evil Beast
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This time, Dragon Blood Evilbreaker didn't have enough power to contain their enemy. It was still effective, though. Things didn't go awry as they had last time when they fought the Gold Armor General.
Han Sen was holding his Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger tightly. He teleported behind Big Evil Beast. His time learning teleportation skills hadn't been wasted; he was able to appear next to Big Evil Beast in a moment.
The dagger was brimming with Han Sen's power when it cut through the enemy's wings. The powerful of Han Sen's strike ripped through the tissue of the wing all the way down its length. That was the creature's weakest spot. The rest of the monster's body was covered in scales, and not even with the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger could damage those locations.
After he pierced through the wing, Han Sen saw a small part of the creature's back, next to where the wings used to be attached, that wasn't protected by scales. Han Sen stabbed the monster with the dagger, sending its power through the beast's flesh. The creature's flesh wasn't as tough as its scales were, but the flesh was still harder than that of an ordinary half-deified xenogeneic. Han Sen's dagger couldn't cut deep enough to reach the creature's heart.
Upon feeling the strike, Big Evil Beast roared. Its aura of evil descended upon the system, cloaking everything around Han Sen and the others. When it flapped its wings, black feathers were fired everywhere like a hail of arrows.
Han Sen stood before that hailstorm of feather arrows. He knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge them, and neither could he deflect them all. Judging by the radius of the attack, he wouldn't even be able to teleport to a safe distance.
Han Sen didn't hesitate. He used his super god spirit body. The arrows passed harmlessly through him, and then Han Sen raced into Big Evil Beast's body. He reached the heart and stabbed it with his dagger.
The super god spirit body only lasted a second. After that, he was back to normal. Fortunately, in that time, Han Sen was able to rush into Big Evil Beast's heart and stab the organ repeatedly like a madman. Blood spilled everywhere. Big Evil Beast screamed, flapping around in circles like it was deranged. It was unable to do anything to Han Sen, who was in its heart.
Dragon One, Dia Robber, and the others watched as Big Evil Beast shrieked and spewed blood everywhere. Someone murmured, "Brother Dollar really is one of the Very High! He is only King class, but he is already so strong. If he becomes half-deified, will he be able to fight a proper deified?"
"What are you saying about becoming half-deified? He is already fighting a deified," someone shot back.
"After seeing Brother Dollar, I know what a real champion looks like."
"Such amazing power. It would be very hard for any race other than the Very High to do this. Not even the Extreme King has Kings on par with Dollar."
"What do you mean by 'very hard'? Feats like this are clearly impossible for anyone else."
As everyone was discussing this, they suddenly heard Big Evil Beast roar louder than before. Its scream was interrupted as its mouth filled with blood. Dragon One saw the creature cough out some chunks of flesh with the blood.
Dia Robber and the Destroyed were so happy. "Brother Dollar is so strong! That Big Evil Beast must be dead."
Shortly thereafter, Big Evil Beast's blood ran dry. Its movements slowed, and its lifeforce grew weak. The evil aura that had weighed on them all disappeared as the creature's substance chains dissipated one at a time.
Dragon One and Dia Robber moved forward to finish it off. They ran to attack the Big Evil Beast with all their strength, but they didn't have the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger, and so they couldn't deal any damage to the Big Evil Beast. Despite launching a frantic series of attacks, they couldn't penetrate Big Evil Beast's scales. They could only further damage its wings.
Blergh!
Big Evil Beast spilled more blood. Then, someone emerged from the bloody body. It was Han Sen, and he cut his way out, still clutching the Dragon Tattoo Tooth Dagger.
After Han Sen came out, the Big Evil Beast lost all control of its body. Its carcass floated in the system like a fish gone belly-up. Blood cloaked its form, and it twitched weakly from time to time.
"Xenogeneic core deified hunted: Big Evil Beast. Deified xenogeneic gene found."
Han Sen felt depressed. Again, there was no beast soul. "It looks like my luck has run out. Two deifieds and still no beast souls."
Han Sen felt like high-class xenogeneics had a lower drop rate than low-class xenogeneics. Han Sen couldn't be certain that was the case, but it was the way he was currently feeling.
"Thank you for your assistance, Brother Dollar." Dia Robber was thrilled, and he thanked Han Sen profusely.
"You are welcome, Brother Robber. It was a fair trade, and I didn't help you out of charity." Han Sen also returned the dagger to Dragon One.
"Is Brother Dollar still interested in hunting more xenogeneics?" Dragon One asked as he accepted the dagger.
"I want to research the geno arts that I've received recently. I don't plan on killing more xenogeneics right now. So, perhaps another time." Han Sen shook his head.
Dia Robber and Dragon One felt disappointed, but if Han Sen didn't want to go, then there was nothing they could do about that. They left the core area.
Han Sen and Li Keer visited the nearby systems. They killed any xenogeneic Kings they saw. If they didn't find any, they kept traveling. Han Sen used most of his power to practice Li Keer's God's Wander and the Destroyed's Big Destroyed.
He practiced Big Destroyed for the longest time in that hope that Big Destroyed could help speed up his consumption of King class genes.
Li Keer saw Han Sen practicing Big Destroyed and said, "That geno art was designed by the alpha of the Destroyed. It was created based on the unique design of their bodies. Light, dark, and chaos must be balanced within you. The geno art can't be practiced unless you have all three of those elements. Even among the Destroyed, only pure-blood Destroyed can practice it. Not many outsiders can learn it, that is for sure."
"I am just giving it a try," Han Sen said, unperturbed. He focused on using the Dongxuan Sutra to practice Big Destroyed.
When Han Sen was in the sanctuaries, his body had evolved using all the elements. That included light, dark, and chaos elements. Plus, the Dongxuan Sutra itself enabled him to simulate geno arts. So, Han Sen was reasonably confident that he would be able to practice Big Destroyed. If he hadn't believed this, he wouldn't have risked fighting a deified xenogeneic to get his hands on the geno art.
When Li Keer saw that Dollar continued to practice Big Destroyed despite her warning, she said nothing more. She just didn't think Han Sen would succeed.
Even the Very High would have trouble learning Big Destroyed. The Very High Sense wouldn't be of much help. Even if Han Sen had a similar geno art, it wouldn't get him very far.
But Li Keer didn't know that Han Sen's Dongxuan Sutra wasn't a creation of the Very High. Many parts of the geno art had been designed for entirely different purposes, and it was possible for him to do things that the Very High could not.

Chapter 2539: We Are Going to Die
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen wanted to hear the final part of God's Wander, so he had to continue hanging around Li Keer. But he didn't speak to her much while he was practicing. When they did talk, Li Keer would either tell Han Sen about God's Wander or answer questions about herself.
"This person is a fighting freak like Lone Bamboo." Li Keer had grown a little depressed as they traveled. She planned to take Han Sen as her silkworm, but after spending so much time with him, she realized that there was nothing Han Sen really needed from her. She couldn't even bring herself to tell him that she was one of the Very High.
Li Keer regretted this. If she had known this was going to happen, she would have told him she was one of the Very High the first time they met. That way, they could have had a more serious discussion, at least. If she revealed her identity now, Li Keer didn't think it would amount to much. It wasn't right, she thought. She would even feel lower than Han Sen.
After Li Keer finished teaching God's Wander to Han Sen, she wouldn't have another opportunity to reveal her identity and convince him to go with her.
"I still have some matters to take care of. We will meet again if fate bids our paths to cross once more," Han Sen quickly said goodbye to Li Keer and departed the core area. He returned to the white whale.
Li Keer was so upset that she wanted to kick something. She looked so sad when she returned to her ship.
"My Lady, what happened? Did you tell Dollar? Did he agree to be your silkworm?" Little Butterfly asked, looking at Li Keer with confusion.
Li Keer sighed and said nothing. She didn't want to admit that she had missed an opportunity to reveal that she was one of the Very High.
"My Lady, what is going on? Why are the rumors saying Dollar is one of the Very High? What happened?" Little Butterfly hastily asked.
"It's nothing. I will claim him." Li Keer felt annoyed and just waved her hand to indicate she wanted no more questions.
"Dollar, you must become my silkworm." Li Keer nibbled her lips in anger.
Han Sen returned to the white whale and was shocked to find out what had happened in his absence.
Fang Qing Yu and the pirates were hiding in a corner, and Ning Yue was curled up behind Bao'er. She was very scared, but Bao'er was holding the purple ginseng that looked like a big carrot. She chewed on it as she stood in front of the others.
Inside the control room, Gu Qingcheng was fighting Elysian Moon. What surprised Han Sen was that they were both using area powers.
"How did they level up so quickly?" Han Sen wondered. "They are already King class."
Although he had given Gu Qingcheng some xenogeneic genes, she and Elysian Moon had become King class much more quickly than he expected. And they were using area powers. That was a bit much.
That was especially true of Elysian Moon. She had spent less time in the geno universe. There was no way she could have leveled up this quickly.
The white whale's control room had become their battleground. Gu Qingcheng stood there with loads of swords coming out of her. All those flying swords were like a river headed for Elysian Moon.
Elysian Moon opened her umbrella that was made of paper. The flying swords, upon hitting the umbrella, were sucked into the drawing on the umbrella's surface. More and more flying swords appeared on the drawing.
Elysian Moon spun her white paper umbrella, making the flying swords inside the canvas come back to life. Now under Elysian Moon's control, the flying swords flew forward to strike back at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng frowned. Her area power was put to work again. She regained control of the swords and sent them back at Elysian Moon.
The two pretty girls were having a stand-off, with one holding a sword and the other holding an umbrella. A storm of swords flew back and forth between them. It was like there was no end in sight.
"What are they doing? Why are they fighting?" Han Sen asked, after jumping over in front of Bao'er.
Everyone other than Bao'er shook their heads. Clearly, they didn't know why Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon were fighting, either. They were also shocked about how fast Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon had leveled up.
Bao'er was clutching her purple ginseng when she answered, "They are fighting about which is bigger and which is smaller."
"Bigger and smaller? What does that mean?" Han Sen asked in confusion.
"I don't know. I heard them fighting. Gu Qingcheng said she wants to be big, but Elysian Moon said no. She said Gu Qingcheng can be small, and she can be the big one," Bao'er explained, not seeming to understand it herself.
Upon hearing that, knowing expressions crossed the faces of the pirates. "I know. They both must have fallen in love with the same man. So, they both want to be with that man. But they are fighting about which will be the mistress and which will be the wife."
"Right, right; things must be like that. I'd like to know which man is so lucky to have two pretty girls fighting over him."
"A family must have been storing up luck for generations for a man to have these two women. I can't imagine what he did in a past life to earn this. Maybe he saved the universe or something."
"Saving the universe once wouldn't be enough. He must have done it twice, at least."
"I don't think so. That man must have been a virgin for ten generations, and that was how he was gifted two women like this."
"If I was able to marry them both, I would be satisfied to live with them as my wives for one day before dying."
"You want to just die on top of their bellies?"
The pirates were now caught in a firestorm of discussion. They all wanted to be the man that Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon liked.
Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon looked very similar. They were both beautiful to an almost disaster-inducing degree. The pirates loved them. If Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon weren't Han Sen's friends, the pirates and the Extreme King knights would have been hitting on them night and day. They'd probably fight for them, too.
When Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon heard what the pirates were saying, they became even angrier. Gu Qingcheng turned to stare at the men. The swords of the pirates suddenly flew out of their scabbards. Under Gu Qingcheng's control, they flew toward their masters.
"Gu Qingcheng! Elysian Moon! Stop!" Han Sen reached out his hand to absorb all the swords. All of the swords writhed like snakes, trying to escape Han Sen's grasp, but they were unable to.
Upon hearing Han Sen, Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon stopped. They coldly stared at the pirates, who then felt a chill. They quietly stepped back.
"You both come with me." Han Sen took Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng to his office.
"Tell me what's going on. Why are you two fighting?" Han Sen sat on the office chair and looked at Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon.
"We are going to die." Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon looked at each other and said the same thing to Han Sen. He stared at them in stunned silence.

Chapter 2540: Only One Can Live
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"What happened? Is it because of the mushrooms?" Han Sen pointed at the plants that were on both of their heads.
Gu Qingcheng shook her head. "I told you, I'm not a person of the modern age. I am a Qi Gong user of ancient times."
"So is this happening because of your lifespan?" Han Sen's heart jumped. Gu Qingcheng was the same as him; both of them had entered a crystallizer control room. When Gu Qingcheng had left the control room, she had been transported tens of thousands of years beyond the period in which she had been born. She had entered a world that was completely different from the one she knew.
If they calculated the time that had passed while she was in the control room, Gu Qingcheng should have died a long time ago.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, then shook her head. "It is because of my lifespan, but it is not as you think. It isn't because I entered a crystallizer control room."
"Then, what is it?" Han Sen asked in concern.
Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon looked at each other. Then, Elysian Moon said, "It is because of me."
Han Sen turned his gaze to Elysian Moon and said nothing. He waited for her to proceed. He still had no idea what was going on.
Elysian Moon was confused and unsure of what to say. She moved her lips but no words came. Gu Qingcheng said, "Let me explain it, then."
Han Sen turned back to Gu Qingcheng. He was growing more concerned by the minute.
A long time ago, he had been interested in the relationship between Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon. Gu Qingcheng was an ancient human Qi Gong master. Elysian Moon had been a spirit inside the sanctuaries. Their races were different, but they looked exactly the same. So, Han Sen was curious about the relationship they shared.
"I practiced a Qi Gong called Sword Fairy Picture," Gu Qingcheng said. "According to the ancient theories of Qi Gong, you could watch yourself generate a god and become the Sword Fairy Picture. Through this, you could unlock the Sword Fairy Path."
"Elysian Moon is your Sword Fairy Picture? You created her?" Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng with shock.
Gu Qingcheng shook her head. "Elysian Moon is the Elysian Spirit, and she is very special. Due to an accident, the two of us combined with my Sword Fairy Picture. That was how our fates became intertwined."
Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon. He wasn't sure what sort of "accident" she was referring to. It would have taken quite an accident to make a Qi Gong master connect with a spirit, after all.
"Didn't I tell you that I was different from ordinary spirits? I told you that my spirit stone wasn't in a spirit statue, and I kept it on my person instead. I was actually lying to you, though. My spirit stone had already combined with her." Elysian Moon pointed at Gu Qingcheng.
"Is that related to your lifespan?" Han Sen asked.
Gu Qingcheng nodded. "Our situation is very complicated. I am a human combined with a spirit's spirit stone. It made my spirit very strong, and I also earned the body type of a spirit. I took Elysian Moon's spirit stone, while she drew power from my Sword Fairy Picture. Over time, her body changed. We are a part of each other, but not exactly."
"When we entered the Alliance, we were reconstructed. At that time, our connection was pretty much severed. We thought the effect we had on each other would be over and we would live apart from each other, but after contacting each other, we swiftly found out that the connection was becoming stronger and stronger. Stronger than it had been before."
Elysian Moon looked gloomy. She said, "In the geno universe, this power resulted in big changes happening to our bodies. We have begun to level up very quickly, and as long as there is energy available, our level can continue to increase at this rate. We were happy about this, but then we discovered that these changes make us age faster, as well."
Han Sen's face changed. "You guys are saying you are getting old very fast?"
"Something like that. I'm not sure exactly how it works. Based on the speed we've been progressing, though, we only have a year at best. A few months, in the worst-case scenario. We will grow old, and we will die." Gu Qingcheng nodded.
"Have you found a way to stop this?" Thinking about what Bao'er said, Han Sen had a few guesses.
Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon nodded. Elysian Moon said, "We have been investigating this issue for quite some time, and we have conducted many tests. We have come to realize that we are supposed to be together. As long as we remain separate, we will never be whole. So, there are flaws in our genes. These flaws are what is making us grow so old so fast. They're pushing us to develop far too quickly."
Gu Qingcheng leaned forward and said, "It is like this: if we were ordinary humans, our lives would have a lifespan of one hundred years. Our current aging process is like that of a mosquito. From birth to death, our whole lives could now pass us by in a fortnight. The only way to get rid of this flaw is for me and Elysian Moon to become one. In that way, we can repair the flaws of our genes. When we are perfect, we will have a lifespan like an ordinary human."
"Can you guys combine and become one person?" Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon with confusion.
While Elysian Moon was still a spirit, Han Sen could picture her possessing Gu Qingcheng.
Now that they both had physical bodies in the geno universe, Han Sen couldn't believe that they could still combine.
"I wish we couldn't, but we did find out it was possible. But that means we will become one person, and even our personalities will be merged." Elysian Moon looked dire.
Han Sen understood the crux of their conflict now. As a creature with emotions, no one would want to be a part of another. They wanted to be individuals.
But now they must become a part of each other. Otherwise, they'd die. It was a very painful dilemma.
As Han Sen thought about their conflict, he realized that they were fighting over which of the two would control the body.
But the reality was crueler than Han Sen thought. Gu Qingcheng coldly said, "And we found another way. We don't need to combine our personalities; the other option is for one person to die. That way, the body of the deceased can be combined with the body of the living one. If we do that, there will only be one personality. There would be no need for a merging."
Han Sen was shocked. He just stared at Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon with bewilderment. He hadn't expected that to be a potential solution.
"Are you guys going to go through with this?" Han Sen sighed. In a situation like this, Han Sen didn't know how he should advise Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng.
"We don't want to do this, but it doesn't seem like there is a fairer alternative. If the two of us are going to die, then I would rather the other be alive," Elysian Moon coldly said.
"Even when you combine and become one, your personalities may not match," Han Sen said.
"No, they do. We have tried it before." Elysian Moon shook her head with certainty.
"How?" Han Sen asked the two with curiosity.
Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything. They looked at each other, and then Han Sen's mouth opened wide. Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng walked nearer each other. Then, when their two pretty faces drew closer, they locked lips in a kiss.

Chapter 2541: Pick for Us
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen was frozen as he watched Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng's bodies becoming one. The process was pretty much like how Han Sen could combine himself with Little Angel.
But when Han Sen combined with Little Angel, Han Sen's body was the primary controller. Little Angel was secondary.
Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng were equals. They completed each other.
Before, whenever Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon, he had always thought they were so pretty that any man could fall for them. Even Han Sen caught himself watching them, now and again. After all, everyone liked to admire pretty women.
When Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon completed themselves, Han Sen no longer felt as if he was looking at a human. The beauty of the being that emerged was unearthly. A sword fairy stood in front of him; she was so pretty that she no longer looked like something that belonged in this world.
The black hair spilled down her back like a waterfall. Her eyes were like pools of black water. It looked as if she could see into the bottom of a person's heart with a mere glance. She could look so deeply into a person that it was almost frightening.
There wasn't a single blemish on her face, and every inch of it was amazing. If people saw her, they would feel ashamed simply for being in her presence. They would deem themselves unworthy.
Gu Qingcheng was beautiful, but she never used her looks to put pressure on other people. This person now, though, was different. Her divine beauty was naturally suffocating.
Of course, the most oppressive thing about her wasn't just her looks—it was her scary swordmind.
Han Sen thought he was very good at sword skills. His swordmind could compete with the swordmind of a deified being, after all. But this woman's swordmind made Han Sen's swordmind look dim by comparison. It was like comparing a firefly to a bright moon.
"It is a perfect sword fairy," Han Sen thought, despite the fact that she was holding a white paper umbrella instead of a sword.
"Do you know what I want to do now?" Suddenly, Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng spoke to Han Sen.
"What would you like to do?" Han Sen asked with curiosity.
"Kill you," the woman said as she looked at Han Sen.
"Stop joking around," Han Sen said. Although he was pretty sure she wasn't serious, he couldn't actually discern her emotions or gauge how she was feeling. Regardless, she did have a proud look about her. Han Sen had never witnessed that level of pride before. She was like some goddess perched in a lofty realm, despising the commoners beneath her. Or anyone who was not worthy of being in her presence.
The woman shook her head and seriously said, "I'm not joking. I really want to kill you. Not just you. I want to kill every living creature in this world. You are all so ugly in my eyes. You are all so imperfect. I cannot accept these imperfections I am forced to witness. I have held it in for so long; stopping myself from killing people."
Han Sen looked at her with shock. He realized that she wasn't joking. Right now, he was in trouble.
Pang!
The woman's body suddenly split in two. Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng splintered into their separate bodies again. They looked very pale and ill.
"Now you know why you must kill one of us and keep our personalities uncombined. If we are one, things will end up that way. We will have a personality that is untouchable and entirely ruthless. That personality is obsessed with perfection, and it will seek out and destroy all it deems imperfect. We combine very well, but there are dark thoughts deep within our genes that are brought to the surface. We can suppress the slaughterous desires for the moment, but we have no idea what the future may bring," Gu Qingcheng said.
"So, if only one personality is alive, we won't have this problem?" Han Sen asked with a frown.
Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon nodded. They didn't want to become murderous perfectionists. Even if it guaranteed survival, that wasn't a life that they wanted to lead. They would become a demon that sought the destruction of pretty much everything. The rest of their lives would be one of battle.
"What kind of sword fairy is this? It's just an evil swordswoman." Han Sen had a wry smile.
Looking at Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng, Han Sen knew he was in trouble. When they combined, they didn't just have an ugly seek-and-destroy heart: they had a terrifying level of talent that could probably make their sordid wishes come true.
After they combined, they were still King class. But after getting a good look at their willpower, it was easy to guess they would one day become deified. At that point, they would become even more frightening.
Both Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon were supremely talented. Even more frightening, they both had super god bodies. When those combined, they would be even more perfect than they were now.
Han Sen didn't know how the two super god bodies might exist together, but anything was possible.
Regardless of how exactly the combination happened, their talents would make them scarier than any human or spirit that existed. That was an undeniable fact.
"After you guys combine, will you two still have your super god bodies?" Han Sen asked the pair.
Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon nodded. They didn't speak, but Han Sen knew how scary the confirmation was.
Elysian Moon looked at Han Sen and said, "I'm sure you understand the gravity of the situation now. If we don't combine, we will die. We estimate we will live no longer than another year. But if we do agree on a combination, the result still isn't a good one. We might not die, but many others would. We have killed before, but we find the thought of such a pointless, murderous existence to be abhorrent. We don't want a life based on killing."
"Maybe that won't happen. Maybe when you do fully combine, that desire to kill will disappear." Han Sen tried to offer them comforting words.
"That is impossible," Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng said at the same time.
They looked at each other, and then Elysian Moon said, "We want to live, but we don't want to become someone like that. So, only one of us can be permitted to live. If a winner doesn't come about through our battles, then we will allow you to decide. With your involvement, one of us is sure to be a clear victor. You should decide which of us should live."
Han Sen sat in his chair, unmoving. He hadn't expected Elysian Moon to say something like this. He was closer to Gu Qingcheng, though. He knew that deep inside of himself, some part of him wished for her to be the one who would live.
But Elysian Moon wasn't his enemy. He didn't want her to die.
Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng nodded. Sadly, he said, "Why do you have to make me decide this?"
"Because you are the only one capable of killing us, even if we want to fight back. So, this is a decision only you can make," Elysian Moon said emotionlessly. She said it as if this was none of her business, like she was reading the headline of a particularly boring newspaper.
Han Sen felt a headache coming on. He was very strong, even here. In the sanctuaries, he was more like a god. It turned out, however, that there were problems even a god couldn't solve.
"This is harder than choosing between a mother and wife who have fallen into a stream. It is too f*cking hard." Han Sen couldn't help but swear.
He wasn't just deciding who to save. He was deciding who to murder.

Chapter 2542: Elysian Moon Changing
The two beautiful women looked like flowers made of jade, and Han Sen couldn't turn his back on either of them. He wasn't their enemy, so he couldn't simply choose which one should die.
But when he thought about the arrogant, perfectionist, blood-thirsty being they combined to become, he knew that he had to do something. It wasn't just the other races of the universe that would fall under their wrath—eventually, they would go after humans as well.
"What should we do?" Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng and then at Elysian Moon. They looked extremely similar to each other. Their presences, however, were different.
Gu Qingcheng was mysterious, but she didn't distance herself from everyone. Elysian Moon was as cold as ice, and looking at her gave people the feeling that they were being shut out. Han Sen could tell the two apart, though, and he would never mistake one for another.
When they both combined and became one, their presence was completely different. The woman they made felt like a fairy. She was a being that didn't care about anything in the world. That coldness was chilling to see.
"Which of us do you choose to kill?" Elysian Moon asked when Han Sen remained silent.
"I'm not killing anyone. To be honest, even if I agreed to kill you, I don't think that's something I could make myself do." Han Sen shook his head.
"Then would you prefer to watch us fight each other to death or die of old age?" Elysian Moon asked emotionlessly.
"That doesn't matter. I think there might be a road out of this mess. It is worth a try, at least," Han Sen said hesitantly.
"What road do you mean?" Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng looked up with interest.
After a moment of thought, Han Sen said, "The aging problem is being caused by the flaws in your genes. If you can fix these flaws, then there is no reason for you to fight to your doom."
Gu Qingcheng shook her head. "If things were that simple, we wouldn't have been fighting in the first place. My genes are included in Elysian Moon's spirit stone. And Elysian Moon's genes contain the sword fairy I created. We both have a part of each other, and because of that, parts of ourselves are missing. We can't use the genes of other creatures to fix problems that are inherent in our own."
"I know." Han Sen nodded, sighed, and said, "My method isn't for you to combine with the genes of another creature. My method can fix your genes as they are."
"What do you mean? If we could fix our genes, we wouldn't be stuck in this situation," Elysian Moon said, tilting her head to the side.
"You're both missing a part of yourselves, and the parts you're missing are the parts you gave to each other. That means you aren't complete. But, you both still contain the missing components of each other. All you need to do is fill in the gaps. I can try to activate both of your gene potentials, which might allow your incomplete genes to repair themselves. I'm not sure if it will work, but it is something we should at least try." The method Han Sen was proposing would require the power of the Blood-Pulse Sutra's area. He would push their self-cogwheels in an attempt to force their genes to evolve.
The Blood-Pulse Sutra's area power was little more than a nudge. Whether or not it worked would be determined by the possibilities harbored by the genes that required fixing. Therefore, Han Sen couldn't promise that he would succeed. It was a chance for them, though. It was something they had to try before they resorted to the more sordid solutions.
If it worked, they could both live.
"You can fix the flaws of our genes?" Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon's beautiful eyes were staring at Han Sen.
"I can't promise you it will work, but there is no harm in trying," Han Sen said.
"Try it, then," Elysian Moon said immediately.
"We'll test it on you first. Come over here," Han Sen said, looking at Elysian Moon.
"Is there a risk to this process?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
"There is no risk. While there is a chance that it won't succeed, failure shouldn't result in any harm to your bodies," Han Sen said.
Elysian Moon walked over to Han Sen. Her voice was completely level as she said, "A long time ago, you were rather unfond of me, weren't you? It is good that I'm in danger, is it not? If I am dead, then you can be free."
Elysian Moon was saying this to Gu Qingcheng, not Han Sen.
Gu Qingcheng moved her lips, but no words were spoken.
"Don't worry, only good things can happen to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to try this." Han Sen understood what the two women wanted. He smiled at Elysian Moon.
"Stop talking crap. Let's get on with it. Even when I was a spirit, I was never afraid of death," Elysian Moon said, meeting Han Sen's eyes.
Han Sen smiled, lifted his right hand, and pressed his fingers to Elysian Moon's forehead. Then, he started to cast the Blood-Pulse Sutra. He made his self-cogwheel connect with Elysian Moon's self-cogwheel. Then, he started to spin them.
"Don't try to resist my power. Try to accept it and move with it." A blood godlight formed on Han Sen's hands, and the light seeped into and melded with Elysian Moon's body.
When the blood light entered her, Elysian Moon's self-gene power was activated. The dusty self-cogwheel started to spin a little.
Elysian Moon's self-cogwheel was blue. It had old-fashioned symbols inscribed upon it. Han Sen didn't know what they meant, but he knew that it was the source of Elysian Moon's power.
When Elysian Moon's self-cogwheel began to accelerate, the old-fashioned symbols shone brightly. They were like a sun. The light blurred as the self-cogwheels spun.
Blue lights rose from the cogwheel, dyeing Elysian Moon's flesh and cells a weird shade of blue. The woman looked like a blue crystal statue.
The color was rather ghostly, and Elysian Moon no longer looked like a person. She was like some sort of phantom, or the crystal statue of a witch. And before long, the crystal started to melt.
No, rather than melting, it was like dirt was being washed off of the crystal statue, layer by layer. It was like a flower shedding its wilted petals.
Gu Qingcheng watched Elysian Moon and Han Sen. Her face was always impassive, but right now, she looked nervous.
The crystalline Elysian Moon's blue light began to fade. The blue light dissolved into dust, and Elysian Moon's body changed as the light peeled away. She was starting to become someone different from who she was before.
Han Sen was so happy. Elysian Moon's genes were starting to change. That meant his Blood-Pulse Sutra was working. Even if he was unable to fix them entirely, this process was still going to benefit Elysian Moon's body.
But Elysian Moon wasn't like Lando, who was a top half-deified. Rather than leveling her up, Han Sen's power simply improved her genes. Her talent and powers were increasing.
Buzz!
A strange sound came from Elysian Moon's body, like a sword was being unsheathed. A scary swordmind blossomed from her, and the ghostly air shifted around her. The weird blue light faded further.
Describing Elysian Moon was difficult, because she now looked like a ghost woman from hell. Right now, Elysian Moon looked like a cold fairy in the moonlight. She seemed distant, but not in a way that would frighten people.

Chapter 2543 Failure?
When Elysian Moon's self-cogwheel changed, the genes of her body changed more. Her swordmind became stronger and stronger, slowly climbing closer to the strength of the being that she and Gu Qingcheng created when they combined.
Buzz!
A blue umbrella was unleashed. It automatically opened over Elysian Moon's head. The swordmind of the umbrella became heavier. The swordmind was surging throughout Elysian Moon's body, spurring it on to change even more.
Gu Qingcheng was as shocked as she was happy. Even if she didn't have the power of the Dongxuan Area to show her exactly what was happening, she could tell that Elysian Moon's body was becoming stronger. It was becoming even more perfect.
That was especially true of the swordmind. It was the sword fairy picture she practiced, but different. Elysian Moon was now just like the sword fairy she had once imagined. Only instead of holding a sword, she held a paper umbrella instead.
The umbrella was like a sword. The ribs of the umbrella were like individual blades, and they all combined to make an amazing umbrella sword. As the umbrella sword changed, Elysian Moon's body altered as well. The swordmind became almost tangible. The umbrella sword generated a sword sun and wrapped up Elysian Moon inside it.
When the blue sword sun finally dimmed, Han Sen and Gu Qingcheng saw a cold, blue fairy. She was standing still, clutching a blue umbrella. It looked as if she no longer had to eat food, and she was like a goddess from the Moon Palace.
Han Sen was shocked. He could no longer feel Elysian Moon's swordmind now, but the fact that she could hide it from his detection made it even scarier.
As he looked over Elysian Moon now, Han Sen felt that she was no weaker than the figure she became when combined with Gu Qingcheng.
Aside from having just one super king body, her power should have been just as strong as it would have been if combined. But its nature was also different from the power that the combination being possessed.
"The Blood-Pulse Sutra is such a powerful geno art. Why can I not use it on myself?" Han Sen felt very troubled by this. The geno art he practiced could pass genes to his children and help others in their evolution. He only received a small benefit himself, and he couldn't use it to level up any faster.
In truth, Han Sen had simply misunderstood the concept of the geno art. Every time he practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra, it was slowly modifying his genes. The Blood-Pulse Sutra helped his genes develop better, but it worked slowly. When Han Sen used his power on others, the results were just faster and easier to see.
It looked so weak, as it didn't seem to directly benefit Han Sen himself. And that was why the Blood-Pulse Sutra was so scary.
The results the Blood-Pulse Sutra created reached far beyond the geno art itself.
The real purpose of the Blood-Pulse Sutra was to break the limitations of one's blood lineage. So, the geno art wasn't limited to a certain set of skills or techniques. Rather, the Blood-Pulse Sutra had the potential to expand one's practice endlessly.
Most ordinary people would never accomplish much in their lifetimes. They would work for the necessities of survival, and they would live within the confines of pre-determined limits. Most people were complacent, so they never put their full effort into transcending those limits or breaking the glass ceiling.
But some special people would end up doing things that others would consider unbelievable. Their success was never guaranteed, though. What people could do was unknown because the future itself was unknown.
The Blood-Pulse Sutra sought out ways for people to rise throughout their lives, and it tried to figure out the unknowns of the future. That was why it never limited the people that practiced with it. And unlike humans, who often got discouraged by failure, the Blood-Pulse Sutra never stopped trying. It was always there to help, in the background.
A more modern way to explain this would be to say that Han Sen's practice of the Blood-Pulse Sutra put him at the zenith of what technology could achieve. The people he cast the Blood-Pulse Sutra on would receive the best of what technology could provide. However, the person would only receive the best of what Han Sen had managed to discover. He couldn't impart technologies that he himself hadn't yet explored.
"Did it work?" Han Sen looked at Elysian Moon, who had finished changing.
Elysian Moon shook her head. "My body has become stronger, but I can still feel a connection with her. The need to combine with her is still there, as well."
Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng shook her head and said, "That feeling is still here."
Han Sen comforted them by saying, "Maybe it is because your genes have yet to finish being repaired. That is why the feeling is still there. Perhaps you need to wait until your genes have finished, and then that feeling will be gone."
Gu Qingcheng was confused, but she didn't resist Han Sen's power. Just like Elysian Moon, she walked in front of Han Sen and accepted the power of his Blood-Pulse Sutra.
Her self-cogwheel was different from Elysian Moon's. Gu Qingcheng's self-cogwheel was green. She also had symbols that began to glow on the cogwheel. Even though Han Sen couldn't directly interpret them, he had the overwhelming feeling that the symbols meant "sword."
Gu Qingcheng's evolution process was similar to Elysian Moon's. Her body changed continually, becoming stronger and stronger. Her swordmind grew more powerful as well. When the old, bronze sword appeared, a strong swordmind wrapped her up. Inside it, she kept changing.
But the changes happening to her were different from those that Elysian Moon experienced. Gu Qingcheng was already a very holy woman, and when her body changed, her presence changed, as well.
That holy presence was still there, but it was now so much harder to feel. It was very mysterious.
If Gu Qingcheng used to be a fairy, then right now, she was becoming a goddess cloaked in fog. Her presence was half-transparent. It made others want to see her real face and pull down the facade she hid behind.
She was so pretty, and yet, she was so blurry. She was beautiful and mysterious. Even Han Sen, as he stared at her, thought to himself, "What a beautiful, dangerous woman. If this was in ancient times, she would destroy a country worse than Da Ji did."
"No, this is the era of the geno universe. If the scary elites of the universe saw her like this, it wouldn't lead to the destruction of a country. It could spark a war. It could destroy far more than just the lives of a single system." Han Sen was shocked. He looked at her for another couple of minutes, then turned away.
"How do you feel?" Han Sen lowered his head and frowned.
Gu Qingcheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid you have made things worse. My body has evolved so much, and so has Elysian Moon's. If we combine now, the damage created will be one thousand times more terrible."
Han Sen's face changed upon hearing this. Clearly, their connection was still there.
But Han Sen wasn't ready to give up yet. "Even if your connection is still there, if you guys stop getting old, you don't need to combine. Therefore, all is fine."
"I don't know. We would have to test such a system for a while and see if we get older," Elysian Moon said.
"Let's just give it a try. If this method doesn't work, then we'll have to look at other options again," Han Sen said, quietly praying that they wouldn't continue to get older. If this failed, there was nothing else he could do.

Chapter 2544 Third Sister
Two days later, Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon were happy to report to Han Sen that they had not grown any older. Although their connection was still there, they no longer had to combine if they wanted to survive.
Han Sen let out a long sigh. This was the best result he could have hoped for. If the problem hadn't been resolved when he completed their genes, he had no other ideas on how to fix the issue. In the meantime, he spent all his energy practicing Big Destroyed. As he attempted to practice Big Destroyed safely, he wasn't putting in enough power to fully cast Big Destroyed. But as time passed, and he practiced more and more, he was able to generate Big Destroyed's light. But the Big Destroyed light he created wasn't even enough to kill a Duke in its current state. That meant it couldn't be used to consume King class xenogeneic genes.
Progress was progress, though, and his advancement thus far made Han Sen happy. If he could successfully activate Big Destroyed's godlight, that meant developing power and control with the technique was only a matter of time.
Han Sen kept practicing Big Destroyed. As he got used to how Big Destroyed's godlight worked, he grew more and more powerful with it.
Han Sen used King class xenogeneic genes to practice. A month later, his Big Destroyed godlight could digest King class xenogeneic genes. It turned them into a pile of dust that was smaller than a speck of powder.
He used Consume to eat the King class xenogeneic genes that he had ground up with Big Destroyed. When he tested the process, Han Sen noticed his digestive speed had increased. Within a day, he was able to absorb a dozen King class xenogeneic genes that had been ground up into a powder, earning a dozen King genes. "Hahaha! Big Destroyed is different. Right now, I still haven't mastered the technique, but if I can practice and take Big Destroyed to the max, I think I'll be able to absorb King class xenogeneic genes incredibly quickly. I might even be able to eat one hundred King class genes in a single day." Han Sen was delighted. Within a few days, his Dongxuan Sutra's area had broken through to another tier.
Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng wanted to go to the core area to hunt xenogeneics. When they told Han Sen where they were, he discovered that they were close to his Jadeskin spawn point. He had them wait there for him, and he entered the core area himself. He found Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon, and after the rendezvous, they went out to hunt core xenogeneics.
Most people never really worried about the future; they only worried about the present. Han Sen had lots of King class xenogeneic genes, but his Big Destroyed and Consume were getting stronger and stronger. If he was able to break down a hundred genes a day, eating a thousand King class xenogeneic genes would only take a week and a half.
Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon were first-tier Kings, but their powers exceeded what the average first-tier King could do. They were practically the same as Han Sen had been at his first-tier. Their skills and area powers were very good, so killing King class xenogeneics was a trivial affair.
But their digestion speed was much slower than Han Sen's Consume. Even if Han Sen used Big Destroyed to break their xenogeneic genes down for them, they could only digest one per day. Han Sen wasn't in a rush, but Li Keer was. She had been there for a whole month, waiting on Dollar's return. Not even the flicker of his shadow showed up, though. It was like he never planned on coming back. Li Keer's teeth itched.
"That *sshole." Li Keer sat in the front of her ship, gritting her teeth and looking up into the sky. If he showed up, she'd probably have to fight off the urge to smack him.
"Little Sister, this is bad. The Very High should be emotionless, but you are very emotional right now. This is bad for you." A very pretty woman appeared on her ship. She stood behind Li Keer and looked at her.
"Third Sister, why are you here?" Li Keer turned around to find a green-clothed woman standing behind her. The woman was pretty, but she was emotionless. Her face was like ice.
"I hear you have selected your target. Let me see how your silkworm is," the woman said coldly.
"Good or bad, it doesn't concern you." Li Keer lifted her lips.
The woman, seeing Li Keer's face, shook her head. "You're displaying too many emotions. Your practice of the Very High talents isn't up to par. I'm worried about you failing, or resorting to selecting a poor silkworm that can't do anything in service of the Very High."
"Good or bad, it is none of your business," Li Keer insisted.
Third Sister didn't become angry. She acted as if she hadn't heard Li Keer at all, and emotionlessly said, "It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not; I am your Third Sister. I cannot let you walk along this path of constant failure."
Before she could reply, Third Sister continued, "Okay. Now tell me, where is this person you've chosen? Let me see if he is capable of serving the Very High."
"He isn't here right now," Li Keer said.
"Why not call him over?" Third Sister said.
"I haven't told him I am claiming him. I can't contact him. If you are so smart, why don't you go and find him for me?" Li Keer snarled.
"You are so slow. You still haven't claimed him? What have you been doing all this time?" Third Sister frowned. She wasn't happy with Li Keer's progress.
Li Keer blushed. She had spent so much effort trying to convince Han Sen, but it never worked out. She hadn't told him who she was, and thus, she couldn't claim him.
Third Sister looked at Li Keer's face but did not say anything. Something in her eyes swirled, looking as if a spinning galaxy was residing with them.
"Tell me who your target is." Third Sister's eyes looked very magical.
"If you are so smart, why don't you guess who it is?" Li Keer said in a sulky manner.
Again, Third Sister didn't become angry. She just reached her hand out and grabbed one of Li Keer's hairs. Then, she stared into that strand of hair with her shiny eyes.
Her spinning galaxy-like eyes revealed the image of Li Keer. The image danced as if the woman was rewinding time, revealing what Li Keer had been doing. Everything she had done in the past few days played before the woman's eyes. Time quickly went back to when she parted ways with Han Sen.
"He is your target, yes? Dollar. I have heard his name. Right. He came first in the Geno Being Scroll. He defeated Lone Bamboo," Third Sister said, her voice neutral. Then, she stopped looking. Her eyes returned to normal, and the strand of hair turned to dust in her hand.
"Third Sister, how could you read my past without my permission?" Li Keer sounded annoyed.
"Behavior like this doesn't belong in the Very High." Third Sister shook her head, ignoring Li Keer's protest. The stars in her eyes were still spinning when she spoke to herself, saying, "Let me help you take a look at what this Dollar is doing. I will see if he can be your silkworm."
Her eyes spun and the lights in them flashed. A shadow that looked like Han Sen appeared.

Chapter 2545 Ji Yang Sheng
Han Sen was out hunting xenogeneics with Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon. All of a sudden, though, he felt a strange movement in his Sea of Soul. Han Sen was surprised by this, and so he looked inside himself. There, he saw the black crystal armor twitching slightly. For an instant, some sort of vortex appeared around his body.
The vortex only lasted for a second, though. Then, the black crystal armor returned to its usual motionless self as if nothing had occurred.
"What the hell?" Han Sen wondered as he glanced around. He didn't see anything dangerous.
Far away, in a certain system inside the core area, Third Sister's eyes looked magical. The shadow of a man appeared and began to grow clearer. The image was on the verge of revealing his face.
"Argh!" Suddenly, Third Sister screamed and cupped her hands over her eyes.
"Third Sister, what happened?" Li Keer was shocked. There was blood seeping out of the gaps between Third Sister's fingers.
"Someone broke my scrying skill. Who is this Dollar?" Third Sister lowered her hands. Her eyes were red, and tears of blood were rolling down her face. Li Keer was shocked seeing this. Third Sister's Very High Sense was much stronger than her own. The powerful Very High had only just used her scrying skill, and her eyes had been injured. It was difficult to believe.
"Dollar is Dollar. He said he is human!" Li Keer realized she actually knew nothing about Dollar.
"What is a human? This Dollar isn't someone ordinary. He broke my scrying skill. He must have some sort of deified protecting him. How could someone who doesn't even have a name possess deified protection?" Third Sister gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"I don't know." Li Keer's face kept changing. She hadn't expected Dollar to have such a mysterious background.
Both of them spent some time trying to guess where Dollar had come from. Third Sister didn't dare try to steal a look at him again, though. As a result, neither of them could come up with a solid idea for who he truly was.
"I want to see who he is." Third Sister lowered her hands emotionlessly. Her eyes had recovered a little. They weren't bleeding, but they still looked injured.
She planned on waiting with Li Keer for Dollar to show up so she could find out who he was.
Han Sen did not know the situation of Li Keer and Third Sister. He was busy killing xenogeneics with Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon. Along the way, he kept practicing using his teleportation talents and Big Destroyed in combat. Although he was growing more familiar with both skills, he needed to test out their practical applications in real fights.
While the three were fighting a metal wolf, someone appeared before them. When that person laid eyes on Han Sen, he was immediately recognized.
"Han Sen, you aren't dead?"
When he realized someone else was there, Han Sen stopped using his teleportation skills and Big Destroyed. Turning to take a look, he noticed it was the Extreme King's Princess Bai Wei.
Bai Wei looked at Han Sen with a conflicted expression.
She thought Han Sen had been killed by Bai Yi. She had always wanted to help Han Sen and herself. She even wanted to save Bao'er. Little did she knew that it wasn't Bai Yi that had killed Han Sen; it was Han Sen that killed Bai Yi.
And then Bai Wei thought about the things Han Sen had done. She couldn't believe the fake prince claimed an Extreme King's alpha statue and did so many horrible things in his time with her people.
The scariest thing about him was the fact that he escaped the wrath of the Extreme King without being damaged. And he traveled through the Tianxia System while the Extreme King were pursuing him. He had done so many shocking things in the universe that it was hard to fathom. He even grabbed Bai Wuchang and held him as a hostage. Ultimately, the Extreme King couldn't do anything to him, and above all, they'd lost track of him.
Thinking about what Han Sen had accomplished in recent times, Bai Wei felt as if her own experiences were nothing.
No matter how bad her situation became, at least she was a bona fide royal amongst the Extreme King. She would always have resources, and no one would dare try to take her life.
Han Sen was just an outsider, and yet, he had become a very famous character in the historical annals of the Extreme King. She was a real royal and yet, compared to Han Sen, it was like he was in the sky and she was stuck on the ground. There was no way she couldn't do all the things he could, she believed.
In the time since they had last met, Bai Wei had changed a lot. Those changes had happened because she had pondered these questions thoroughly. It was all due to Han Sen. So, Bai Wei had very complex emotions when it came to confronting Han Sen again.
Seeing him there now, Bai Wei had no intention of attacking.
"Congratulations, you have now reached King class." Han Sen bowed before Bai Wei.
Bai Wei looked at Han Sen. A while later, she said, "Just go, and don't ever let me see you again."
But Han Sen still went on to say, "I will never forget how you took care of me and my daughter. If you need anything in the future, have someone deliver a message to me. I will do whatever I can, and I will put my utmost effort into not disappointing you."
Han Sen still really liked Bai Wei; after all, she had tried her best to save Bao'er. He had always felt as if he owed her something.
"When we meet again, we will be enemies and not friends," Bai Wei said. Then, she turned around and flew away from Han Sen in the opposite direction.
"Then let us hope we never meet again." Han Sen, Gu Qingcheng, and Elysian Moon also flew away.
The three of them were traveling through space when Elysian Moon suddenly stopped. She floated and pointed in the direction of a planet.
"There is something amiss up ahead."
"What is wrong?" Han Sen didn't sense anything unusual coming from the planet. His Dongxuan Area still couldn't reach that far.
Elysian Moon frowned and said, "I don't know. But I can sense that an extremely dangerous presence resides on that planet."
"Is it a xenogeneic or some other sort of creature?" Han Sen asked.
"It should be a xenogeneic," Elysian Moon said quietly.
Han Sen's eyes brightened. "A xenogeneic is great. You guys hang back while I go take a look."
Han Sen readied himself to attack when suddenly, a bunch of people came flying over. They were clearly coming toward Han Sen.
"Demons?" Han Sen frowned upon seeing the people with purple horns approach.
"I am Ji Yang Sheng. I have admired you for a long time, and finally, I have the chance to see you in person. This is a great privilege." A half-deified Demon bowed to Han Sen.
The Demon man looked very pale and very handsome. He was very polite, too. It would be hard to find a reason to hate him.
"Thanks." Looking at Ji Yang Sheng, Han Sen knew he must have been quite famous amongst the Demons. Otherwise, Kings and half-deifieds wouldn't have been following his leadership.
Han Sen thought to himself, "That Demon protector Moldo wanted me to come and bless a prince of the Demon. It cannot be this guy, can it?"
After Ji Yang Sheng bowed before Han Sen, he looked at Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon. Something strange passed through his eyes, but it only happened for a second. No one noticed it.

Elysian Moon and Gu Qingcheng frowned. They were sensitive enough that they noticed the glance that the man directed toward them.
Although Han Sen saw it, he said nothing. Considering the beauty of the two women, it would be weird if men didn't have any reaction towards them.
The Demon and humans looked alike. Their definitions of pretty were similar, so it wasn't strange that a Demon man would be drawn to the appearance of a human woman.
Attraction was one thing, but it would be a different matter if the Demons tried to make a move. If Ji Yang Sheng didn't do anything stupid, Han Sen wouldn't begin a conflict himself.
Ji Yang Sheng turned away from Gu Qingcheng and Elysian Moon, then said to Han Sen, "Teacher Han, Mister Moldo might have spoken to you before about how he hoped that you could bless me. Do you have time now?"
"Ah yes, Moldo mentioned that." Han Sen went quiet for a moment, then he told Ji Yang Sheng, "I told Mr. Moldo before that my blessings can affect others, but I cannot make people deified. Becoming deified is all about the potential of one's genes."
"I understand, but I would be very grateful if you were willing to try to help me. Whether we succeed or not, it is the thought and effort that counts." Ji Yang Sheng was maintaining his politeness quite well.
Han Sen laughed. "There is no need to say that. We are merely trading. I will still charge you."
"That is okay. Tell me if there is something you want. If I can pay it, I won't disappoint you," Ji Yang Sheng responded quickly.
Han Sen shook his head. "We can talk about the price later. I haven't yet fully recovered from the blessing I gave Lando. It will take another four months for me to recover enough that I can bless someone else. We can talk about it then."
In truth, Han Sen could use his Blood-Pulse Sutra power whenever. That didn't mean he wanted to keep using it, though. If he did, its value would drop off substantially.
Up until now, Han Sen had only used it on Lando, Gu Qingcheng, and Elysian Moon. He wanted to use it on Little Silver, too. Han Sen wouldn't use it on Bao'er or Ling'er, because they were so talented themselves. They had so many possibilities, and the use of the Blood-Pulse Sutra could limit their development.
Little Silver's talents were a bit on the weak side. The Blood-Pulse Sutra could only do good for him.
"Okay. If you don't mind, though, I can protect you. I won't let anyone disturb whatever you are doing in the meantime," Ji Yang Sheng said with a look of sincerity.
"Thank you, but no thank you. We are only here to hunt xenogeneics. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to be together." Han Sen didn't want a bunch of people following him.
"In that case, I will contact you at a later date. This is my contact information. If you need anything, all you have to do is ask," Ji Yang Sheng said, before taking his people with him to depart. He didn't say anything about wanting to loot xenogeneics.
After Ji Yang Sheng left, Elysian Moon coldly grunted and said, "That guy doesn't seem very likable."
"You will probably end up meeting a lot of other people you hate," Han Sen said, with a shrug of his shoulders. Their own beauty might have been their biggest challenge.
In that universe, many races looked just like humans, including the Rebate, the Demons, the Sky, and the Extreme King, to name a few. Their definition of beauty was quite similar, and so the two girls were undoubtedly quite eye-catching to those of such races.
"From what we have seen, we should learn from Dollar and wear armor," Gu Qingcheng said, glancing at Han Sen.
"I'm afraid wearing armor won't help. Your bodies are quite distinctive, and even if others cannot see your faces, your curves are sure to attract men. Your appearance makes quite an impact." Han Sen laughed.
"If we are that sexy, why aren't you affected by us?" Elysian Moon asked, quirking her lips into a half-smile.
"I'm different. People like me are so faithful and loyal. I'm just a good man, so a few looks here and there keep me happy. I'm afraid you'll never meet another man like me in the universe," Han Sen joked.
Gu Qingcheng smiled but said nothing. Elysian Moon looked at him with disdain, and she said, "You're just a creep who has no balls. You call yourself a good man? Pff."
After that, she ignored Han Sen and resumed her flight.
"What's wrong with her? Since when did I become a creep?" Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng laughed and raised an eyebrow at him. Not saying another word, she flew after Elysian Moon.
"Hey, what is wrong with you both?" Han Sen was so depressed. Although Gu Qingcheng said nothing, he felt as if he had been bullied.
Ji Yang Sheng and his Demon allies didn't venture far. When Han Sen and the others departed, Ji Yang Sheng spoke to a King in his entourage and said, "You go home and bring me my Demon Doll. If my father asks, tell him I need it."
The Demon King was shocked, and so he said, "Are you going to attack Han Sen?"
"I can't believe that I encountered him here. This is a very rare opportunity. We were unable to find him in the systems of chaos, but now we have a second chance to snare him," Ji Yang Sheng said in a hard voice.
"Please think about this, sir! The Extreme King sent deifieds after him, and even they were unable to capture him. Only half-deifieds can come to the core area. I don't think you have what it takes to catch Han Sen. If he knows that we have tried to snare him, I do not think he will ever spare the time to bless you," the Demon said.
"That's why I'm going to use the Demon Doll; it is deified. Attacking Han Sen will be a guaranteed success. And even if it fails, Han Sen will have no clue it was us who used it," Ji Yang Sheng stated flatly.
"But the Demon Doll is the Demon's…" The Demon King wished to say something, but Ji Yang Sheng cut him off.
"Just bring me the doll and stop your protesting," Ji Yang Sheng snapped.
"Yes." The Demon King didn't dare disobey a direct command. He opened his core area hall and returned to the Demon Realm.
An hour later, the core area hall's door opened again. The Demon had returned, but with someone else in tow.
If anyone else had seen this, they would have been very surprised. Kings could only use their power to open a personal door to the core area. No other creature should have been able to enter through that same door. That Demon King brought a creature through the door with him. Even the Extreme King wouldn't have been able to believe their eyes if they had seen this.
