Read God and Devil World - Chapter 1132: Wiping out the Giants! online free - Light Novel Full

After hearing Jody's explanation, Yue Zhong finally understood why there was such a huge difference in technology. He also understood why the Emperor would do such a thing.

Earth, before the apocalypse, was also an advanced world, with lack of cultivators and martial artists. It was not because the people of today were less smart, but because the effectiveness of such skills was not as comparable as a technologically-advanced world.

A martial artist could train for an entire 20 years but would be easily taken out by some small-thug with a bare proficiency in firearms wielding a gun. Under such circumstances, few would actually take the time to train. Furthermore, in the past, a person could easily win a small-scale war with their own prowess, that was why there were more cultivators in the past.

It was precisely because of this that the Emperor of the Sirius Empire would ban technology for all the cities and towns. However, the usage of such equipment was important in a war, that was why the central army was equipped with such highly advanced stuff, hence, creating an imbalanced image.

Yue Zhong was an outsider and was in no position to comment on the strategy. He smiled and did not continue harping on the subject.

The 12 battleships flew over a dense and thick forest, which was formed of numerous huge trees that were easily over hundreds of meters tall. There were even some that extended beyond 200m and 300m.

The forest covered a huge portion of the terrain, and one could hear the roars of wild beasts from within.

"It's right here, Yue Zhong. Let me clear the rubbish for you first."

With a chuckle, Jody gave an order through his watch, "Execute the plan immediately!"

"Begin the plan immediately!"

"..."

Under Jody's orders, the huge cannon on his battleship, that had a 30m-diameter, lit up with its countless runes glowing, as a huge form of energy gathered in the cannon.

After 10 seconds, the mouth of the cannon lit upm and a huge, light pillar of over 3km blasted downwards at the huge forest.

Under that assault, everything within the diameter of the light beam was instantly vaporized, revealing a huge, ugly, hole within the dense forest.

Yue Zhong could clearly see that at the edges of the hole, there were many human corpses.

After firing that cannon, over a hundred elites of the Sirius Empire's forces flew out of the battleship, equipped with their mech armor and particle cannons.

The moment they appeared, they began firing their weapons into the forest, hitting the many giants who were currently gathered.

Under those probing shots, the giants were all enraged and charged out towards them.

There was a vicious glint in the eyes of one 60m-tall Wind Giant, as he opened his huge mouth to spit out a powerful wind blade, cleaving towards the soldiers.

With a single swish, the huge wind blade went through one of the Sirius Empire's elite soldiers, slicing him cleanly in two, as blood and organs splattered out.

Another 70m-tall Flame Giant swung out powerfully, sending balls of flames towards the soldiers.

Although the soldiers continued to dodge and evade, one of them was still struck, unfortunately, and he caught on fire while screaming out in agony.

Those giants were not only capable in close-combat, but many of them had abilities of range. It was truly terrifying. Within a matter of seconds, a dozen elite soldiers had already fallen. Had they been any closer, they would have been wiped out.

Jody swiftly gave the order, "Retreat!"

At that, the Sirius Empire elites began to retreat into the forest while firing a few more shots.

They were intelligent and used the terrain to their advantage while dodging the ranged attacks.

With the trees acting as cover, the ranged attacks of the giants lost most of their strength.

As for the giants, they were currently chasing at full speed and in a mad fury.

Almost all the giants with ranged capabilities were throwing everything they had at the battleship in the sky.

The 12 battleships in the skies had opened up their energy shields under Jody's orders earlier and were rising slowly to evade the attacks.

Inside the ship, Jody observed the giants below and had an incredulous look, "Strange! The giants seem weaker for some reason? There doesn't seem to be any Type 8 giant holding the fort. What's going on? Usually, there should be one. How come there isn't one right now?"

Jody's army had clashed with the giants many times, and he knew their circumstances well. Now, seeing that no Type 8 giant was chasing after them, he could not help but feel bewildered.

If there were any Type 8 powerhouses giant in their midst, they would have stepped into the air to assault their battleship already.

Lina's gaze had a strange glint as she said, "What's strange about it? Since there are no Type 8 giants here, they must have all been killed in the earlier raid on Adenia Town." She then asked curiously, "Yue Zhong, how many Type 8 giants did you kill exactly?"

Yue Zhong replied mildly, "13."

When Jody heard that, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, and exclaim somewhat "13?!! Are you sure?! You really killed 13 of them?!"

Even Lina had a shocked look.

Human Type 8 powerhouses were known to be weaker than any other race of the same realm. This was common knowledge. Of course, there were human Type 8 powerhouses that could kill other races easily, but these were the heaven-defying talents, who were rare, or they possessed some form of a treasure.

Even among these geniuses, few could take on 10 on their own, killing so many Type 8 giants by themselves.

Such an expert would have so much potential, a peak expert of the human race, and could possibly become a half-God existence.

Jody and Lina had thought that they already evaluated him strongly, but now, they could sense that they had truly underestimated him.

"That's right!" Yue Zhong laughed, and stood up, before walking out, "Those giants have already left the forest. I'll go clear them."

After Yue Zhong left, Lina suddenly asked Jody, "Jody, do you think he was telling the truth?"

Jody signed, his gaze complicated, "Perhaps. He could take on the entire group of giants on his own, this is proof enough of his strength. He doesn't need to lie to us."

There was a complicated look in her eyes, as she bit her lips, speaking with some jealousy, "Then, isn't his strength already on par with the Holy Children of the Temples?"

Jody and Lina were the esteemed Prince and Princess of the Holy Sirius Empire and had cultivated to reach the Type 6 realm. However, within the Holy Heavens, they were just ordinary people. There were so many people who had a strength that far surpassed them.

The Holy Sons and Daughters of the 5 Great Temples were all at the Type 8 realm, heaven-defying geniuses, and the weakest was still so much stronger than Jody or Lina and could view them with contempt.

The Emperor of the Holy Sirius Empire could not compare to any of the Holy Sons or Daughters. Due to his ordinary talent, he was doomed to stay at the initial Type 8 realm for his entire life, with no hope of entering the Type 9 realm. Therefore, he was not as valuable.

Jody had a wise look as he spoke, "Perhaps. Lina, the stronger Yue Zhong is, the more beneficial it is for us. We have to get in his good books and attract him over to our Northern Temple! If he could even become a Holy Son of the Temple, then we would be rewarded more!!"

Lina nodded, she was just slightly jealous of Yue Zhong's talents, but she was smart, and she knew the crux of the matter, as she turned to look at Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong soared out of the battleship and saw the countless giants running towards him. There were even over 40 Type 7 giants manipulating the atmospheric energy to soar towards him.

However, they were not of the air, thus their speed wasn't fast.

"Go to hell!"

Yue Zhong stared at them with a cold look, and with a wave of his hands, a bright blood light shot towards the skies, turning into a blood cloud, that started pouring on them.

Within seconds, thousands of them were instantly sucked dry and turned into emaciated corpses.

Jody saw the scene and felt a chill down his back, "What terrifying means!! This Yue Zhong is truly terrifying!!"

Lina looked at Yue Zhong with a strange gaze, speaking slowly, "His strength has already surpassed the Central Holy Son of the Holy Heavens."

In the Great God World, powerhouses were revered, the stronger that Yue Zhong seemed, the more he would be respected. Lina was ambitious, and seeing that he was able to take out over thousands of giants in a single move, she could not help but feel a stir in her heart.

After all, there were so many experts within the Holy Heavens. All the powerful people were gathered there. Although Lina was one of the Princesses from the Holy Sirius Empire, with her strength, she would not even have the qualifications to be a concubine of any of the Holy Sons. If she could get Yue Zhong within her grasp, her future was sure to be bright.

Under Yue Zhong's control, the huge patch of blood rain managed to consume the giants and wiped most of them out. There were only the dozens of Type 7 giants left, who were pushed to the brink of insanity. Their bodies were wrapped in a layer of energy, blocking the invasion of the rain, as they charged at Yue Zhong madly.

Facing the remaining Type 7 giants, Yue Zhong's gaze was cold. He pointed out, and in an instant, a powerful energy blade congealed towards the group of giants.

With a single sweep, all of them were sliced in two at the waist, as blood splattered, and their corpses fell out of the sky.

"Strong!!!"

"That was too insane!! This human is formidable!!"

"Monster!! He's a freak!!"

"..."

When the soldiers saw how easily Yue Zhong slew the hundreds and thousands of giants, they were all stunned with their mouths agape, their gazes filled with awe and shock.

Such a group of giants was not something Lina and Jody's forces could take on without suffering huge losses.

However, this group of giants was actually taken out by Yue Zhong in a second, causing them to feel a sense of fear.

When Yue Zhong was done, he flashed and reappeared in the battleship.

Jody came up to him, smiling, "Yue Zhong, you're truly strong. With your strength, it would be easy for you to become the Holy Son of our Northern Temple. When that time comes, please take good care of us."

Yue Zhong laughed lightly, "Sure. Since the Giants have been dealt with, let's head to the Holy Heavens then."

"Sure! Jody nodded, and gave the order, "Move out! Coordinates: Holy Heavens!"

With that, the entire fleet set off into the distance.

Inside the dense forest, one green giant who looked no different from the trees around him, stared at the leaving battleships with a deep hatred, "Damn humans, you dare hunt our Giant Clan. I will not let you off."

The Great God World was truly vast. The 2 main battleships of Jody's fleet were B-Grade Battleships, and their maximum speed could reach up to Mach-20.

The group sat on the battleship for an entire day, before arriving at the capital of the Holy Sirius Empire.

Yue Zhong looked at the capital, and could not help but praise, "Not bad, is this your capital? It's beautiful!"

The Holy Sirius Empire was very different from Adenia Town. In the skies, there were 156 satellites. Surrounding the city were 8 mechanical fortresses floating in the air. There were also 3 airship fleets that patrolled the space constantly, conducting surveillance and maintaining security.

Other than that, there was also a huge wall of over 200m tall, its entirety bright and resplendent like jade. On top of the wall, there were many soldiers equipped with mech armors and particle cannons. At the same time, one could see countless advanced technology at various hidden corners.

The defense of this Holy Sirius empire was tighter and more advanced than anything Yue Zhong had obtained for Earth from all his travels.

When Aisha saw the futuristic city of the capital, even she was awestruck.

Adenia Town was as backward as the Middle Ages, and the Holy Sirius Empire seemed as though it was far more advanced than Earth by a large margin. Such a vast difference made Aisha feel like a bumpkin.

Of the 2 youthful ladies, Xi Jie had family in the town, thus Aisha, who was on her own, chose to follow by Yue Zhong's side, hoping to broaden her horizons.

Jody turned to Yue Zhong and explained, "That's right, this is the capital of the Holy Sirius Empire, Guha City. The Great God World is huge, in order to reach the Holy Heavens, one would have to make use of the transport gate here in the capital. Otherwise, you would have to go through 435 different kingdoms to reach it, and it would take at least half a year's time."

Yue Zhong was slightly taken aback, as he narrowed his eyes, "435 kingdoms? How are these kingdoms compared to the Holy Sirius Empire?"

Jody chuckled, "Of the 435, the weakest is about half of our strength. Most of them are stronger than us. The strongest has a Type 9, half-God powerhouse holding the fort, and the kingdom is definitely more than a 100 times stronger than ours."

Yue Zhong was shocked by now, "This world is truly something. Even the Radiant Battleship cannot transcend this area. The number of people here in the Sirius Empire alone numbers over 10 billion, with over 435 kingdoms added together, there has to be at least 5 trillion. With so many people, no wonder there are more Type 9s here."

Jody then invited warmly, "Yue Zhong, opening the spatial gate is no small matter. I need to report to our Father first. The shortest might still be a day. Why not come to my palace and let me host you properly?"

He knew that his position within the Holy Heavens was not high. Even the entire Holy Sirius Empire was not particularly highly regarded in the Holy Heavens. They were just a sort of passage for talents to get there.

Any envoy from the Holy Heavens could easily surpass Jody and the rest of his siblings. That was why he wanted to win Yue Zhong over, if there were any troubles in the future, he would at least have some backing.

Yue Zhong agreed, "Sure!"

The huge battleship came to a stop at the port of Guha City, and the party came out and headed for the inner city.

Aisha walked excitedly, as she saw the automated cleaning robots on the streets, her eyes brightening as she pulled on Yue Zhong's hands, "Yue Zhong, look, what is that?"

Yue Zhong took a glance and replied mildly, "They should be automated cleaning robots."

Compared to Aisha, who had never even seen a television before, Yue Zhong's concept of technology back on Earth was much more advanced, and could roughly guess what those were.

Jody chuckled, "That's right, these are automated cleaning robots. They even have the function of maintaining security. Anytime there's a minor issue with security, they would handle it. They can also give directions, answer basic questions about laws, and considered somewhat robot police enforcers."

Yue Zhong had an idea then, "These robots are pretty decent, seems like when I head back to Earth, I need to produce some cleaning and policing robots."

With the amount of technology and resources he obtained from the Mech Kingdom, he was truly poised to produce enough robots to last a lifetime. However, most of them were geared for war use, and not much had been developed in the civil sense.

On Earth, the human race was fragile, thus, the military was the most important. Yue Zhong was not an invincible entity yet, thus he needed to focus on the military, while the civilian side suffered less priority.

Right at this moment, there was an arrogant voice that sounded, "Brother Jody, your taste is quite poor, to actually mix with such riff-raff. You've thrown the face of our Holy Sirius Empire Royal Clan."

Yue Zhong frowned and looked towards the sound.

Only to see 8 lavishly dressed young men and women, with an air of nobility and elegance, and behind them, were 20 powerful experts, decked in mech armor, their faces solemn, and their killing intent palpable.

Among them, the leader was one who wore a black suit, had short, golden hair, and he looked about 30-40% similar to Jody. However, his look of arrogance was off-putting, and he stared at Yue Zhong coldly, and with disdain, barking, "Lowly citizen, what are you looking at!! Damn trash, this seat is irked by the sight of you. Men!! Go dig out his eyeballs for me! Then grab that woman beside him, I'll have a good time with her."

"Yes, your Highness!"

One burly guard behind the young man responded and waved his hands, as 2 guards stepped forwards towards Yue Zhong and Aisha.

Yue Zhong was filled with a killing intent when he heard this, and he coldly swept a glance at Jody.

Feeling that gaze, Jody felt his entire body doused in a freezing aura, as he stepped forwards and barked out, "Stop!"

Under that enraged shout, the 2 guards halted, not daring to step forward. Jody was, after all, a prince as well, and these small characters were unwilling to act against him.

Jody had a cold look as he barked at the other prince, "Georgie, Yue Zhong is my guest. If you dare touch him, I will not let you off."

Georgie had a look of disgust on his face as he roared out in a domineering manner, "Brother Jody! These are just some lowly commoners! Who the hell are they?! By the time I'm done with them, I will return them to you! The 2 of you, what are you waiting for? You want me to throw you into the leopard cage?!"

Since the Emperor of the Holy Sirius Empire had lived for so many years, his children were too many to count. It was even enough to form a regiment of soldiers on their own. There were all sorts of characters among them.

Compared to Jody, Georgie was a talented cultivator, reaching the peak-Type 6 stage by the age of 65. Among the numerous children of the Emperor, he was considered the top in talent and received love from Emperor George.

Due to his age, plus having spent most of his time training, coupled with the doting of Emperor George, he was extremely despotic and arrogant. He had lustful tendencies and was violent, treating commoners like trash. His demeanor was vastly different from Jody. Each time they met, he would try to humiliate Jody. Yue Zhong and Aisha had thus become the target for his intended humiliation.

As the energy in the Great God World was abundant, most of the cultivators led long lives. A normal Type 6 powerhouse would usually be above 600 years old. 65 was considered a youth by Earth's standards.

"Pardon our offense, your Highness!!" Hearing Georgie's threat, the 2 soldiers felt a chill and quickly pounced towards Yue Zhong and Aisha.

Within Guha City, Georgie truly did as he liked, and had toyed many people to death. The 2 guards did not wish to be added on to the death count.

"Scram for me!!"

Jody had a furious gaze as he roared out, turning into 2 shadows and charged right at the 2 guards. Both silhouettes shot out punches at them.

The 2 guards were at the peak-Type 5 realm, and had the most advanced of mech armors, possessing abundant experience in combat. Although they were suppressed by Jody, they were not defeated instantly.

Georgie laughed out loud in arrogance, waving his hands, "Hahaha!! Brother Jody, you're truly useless! To think you can't even beat my guards! All of you, go! Get those 2 for me. Don't harm my brother Jody! Just teach him a lesson, HAHAHA!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

The guards behind Georgie all responded loudly and pounced towards Yue Zhong.

Lina stepped forward, her own face also frosty as she barked, "Georgie, stopped. Yue Zhong is my guest too. You want to bring harm to my guest?!"

One mature lady among Georgie's entourage, who had heavy makeup and a sexy figure, laughed out, as she spoke sarcastically, "Lina, it's just 2 wretched commoners. Are they worth your anger? I recently purchased a pair of twins. They're fun to play with. Give Georgie those 2 and I can gift you those 2. How about it? They're from a noble clan if you must know."

Georgie loved to play with women, not letting those he set his sights on off. Those who followed him were of the same feather, indulging in their pleasures.

To these rich playboys, only those of noble and royal birth were people. Commoners were lower existences and could be killed without any remorse.

It was easy to recognize Aisha as a country bumpkin from the first look, without a single air of nobility. Yue Zhong was also dressed in casual clothes and had an ordinary look, that was why they assumed these were easy targets.

One young man, who was thin, his face sallow and there was even an air of gloom between his eyebrows, chuckled, "Your Highness Georgie, that woman seems decent, after you're done, can you give her to me? I want to train her into a proper bitch."

Georgie laughed out wantonly, "Haha, no problem at all! Once I'm done, I will give her to you! Haha!"

There was a look of joy and lust on that man's face as he thanked Georgie, "Thank you, your Highness!!"

Another beauty within their group who wore a revealing leather suit, with most her flesh exposed, sneered and suggested, "The man is also not too bad. Once I train him to be a good dog and put him in the dog farm, let him watch the female being fucked by the other dogs, wouldn't that be interesting?"

"That's right!!"

"Lynna, good idea!!"

"That is an interesting preposition."

"..."

When the rest of the group heard this, they laughed out in an unbridled manner. Having been from prestigious families, they had toyed with others to the point of boredom. The more they pushed boundaries and finding new thrills, they more they enjoyed themselves.

Inside Guha City, other than Emperor George, no one could control these bunch of upstarts. This was why they were able to be so unbridled and run around uncontrolled, acting so viciously.

Lina's face turned even colder, as she felt her heart clench in anger. Her body started to tremble with rage, as she barked out angrily, "Idiots, are you looking to die?!"

She knew the terror of the 2 behind her. Aisha might be an ordinary country bumpkin, but Yue Zhong's might was unimaginable and was someone who could easily wipe out an entire horde of giants in a second. Such an expert was no pushover.

As expected, a chilly voice sounded from behind her, causing her to freeze in fear, "Since you're all looking for death, you can die then."

Behind Lina, Yue Zhong pointed out with a finger, and in an instant, the surrounding energy congealed into multiple powerful blades, that slashed across the numerous soldiers behind, who were equipped with mech armor and had been through countless battles.

At that moment, those soldiers who were all at least at the Type 5 realm, were sliced apart by the numerous blades, their body parts and broken armor scattering across the ground.

Witnessing this gory scene, the entire group which had been talking loudly fell silent, their faces ashen as they began to tremble.

Among them, one of the young men trembled and shouted out hoarsely, "You...you...dare...to kill...the elite guards!!! This is a capital offense!!! You're still not kneeling to surrender?! When our Holy Sirius Empire forces reach, your entire family would be wiped out!!"

"My family? What a joke, before that, you can go to hell first!"

Yue Zhong laughed coldly, and waved his hands, as another energy blade formed, and directly separated the man's head from his body.

After killing the man, Yue Zhong's gaze fell upon the one called Lynna, his killing intent apparent for all to see.

Lynna's face was pale as she trembled, screaming out in fear, "You can't kill me!! You can't kill me!! My father Max is the right-hand man of the Emperor, if you kill me, he would not let you off!! He will definitely hunt you down and make you die a horrible death!!"

"Your father will join you below. Go first, and wait for him."

Yue Zhong's voice was icy as his energy blade slashed out, directly splitting her in half.

After that, Yue Zhong's gaze swept and fell upon the gloomy man.

The unfortunate guy was so frightened that he pissed himself, his body trembling uncontrollably. He got down on his knees as he kowtowed profusely, "Don't kill me!! Please!! I can give you all my beautiful women!! Spare my dog life!! My father, Hammond, is the Minister of Justice, and he would not let this go too!!"

Yue Zhong swiped his hand carelessly, allowing the energy blade to fall once more, slicing him in two, "Let him find me then. I'll get him to join you."

Seeing Yue Zhong slaughter 3 of their friends consecutively without any mercy, the remaining people were frightened out of their wits.

The sultry woman at the start kneeled on the ground, acting like a female dog as she sobbed and crawled to Yue Zhong, "Don't kill me...please... Sir... spare me!! I can be your bitch, spare my lowly life! I didn't mean what I said earlier, spare me please!!"

Yue Zhong stared at her coldly, her beauty did nothing to hide her venomous heart, and his eyes flashed with an icy glint, before the energy blade slashed down on her head, without the slightest mercy.

Another despotic member of the group had a frenzied look by now, as he shouted out in madness, "Since he wants to kill all of us, let's fight it out with him!! We can't let him live!!"

With another swish, the head of that man was sliced apart.

"Warning, warning! You have flouted the 136th law of the Holy Sirius Empire, murdering others! Immediately cease your resistance, or we will act against you!"

At this point, the countless cleaning robots began to swarm over, having activated their security measures.

The entire Guha City was blaring with alarms by now.

Seeing those robots, the rest of the group had a look of hope. If the robots were able to stop Yue Zhong, they would have the chance to flee.

Seeing the robots, Prince Georgie, who had been watching the entire thing with an ashen expression, spoke slowly, "Mr. Yue Zhong, this was our fault. We didn't recognize your esteemed self and had offended you. Please forgive our mistake."

Georgie had a fleeting killing intent in his eyes, as he spoke in neither servile nor overbearing tone, "Since you've already killed so many of our people, why don't we both take a step back and let this go. This is after all the imperial city. If things get blown up, it would not be good for you."

He was not stupid, although he went around and lorded over others, he knew when to watch himself. It was obvious that Yue Zhong was above the Type 7 realm. If he was to truly go on a rampage, he would be killed within a second. The only way out was to give in for now and hit back for revenge later down the road.

Georgie had a venomous look in his eyes, as he thought viciously, "Today's matters, I will definitely not let it go. Once I leave, I will activate the troops to tear this bloody Yue Zhong into countless pieces, to give vent to this anger of mine!!"

Jody frowned slightly, as he came up to Yue Zhong and persuaded, "Yue Zhong, why not, we just forget about it? These men and women are all children of important officials of the Holy Sirius Empire, if you were to continue, those old fellows would not let this go."

Yue Zhong ignored him, his face an icy mask, as he swept a disdainful glance at the robots and laughed coldly, "A bunch of trash robots, you want to stop me? Break."

A powerful atmospheric energy then wrapped the robots and in an instant, they all exploded, turning into piles of metal.

After killing those robots, Yue Zhong turned and reached out to grab at thin air, as a number of energy-formed hands wrapped around the remaining despotic members of the group, and crushed them.

There was a unison of cracks, as the few people were turned into meat paste.

Seeing how vicious Yue ZHong was, Georgie's countenance turned even uglier, his eyes finally revealing a hint of fear.

He was used to being the vicious and dominating one, slaughtering whoever he liked. However, he was also a huge coward, that treasured his own life and was fearful of death.

"Stop!!!!"

At the same time, the few members of Georgie's group were crushed, there was an enraged shout that traveled from the skies.

A number of soldiers equipped with powerful mech armor suddenly appeared as they shot through the skies and descended on the scene.

As the entire city was within the surveillance of their integrated network, the moment Yue Zhong had killed the first scion, he was already discovered.

If he had killed someone ordinary, it would not be an issue. However, everyone he killed was all scions of high-ranking officials. Each death would represent a huge uproar in the city.

Because of this, the empire had quickly reacted and despatched their elite soldiers towards the scene.

Seeing the numerous experts, Georgie no longer held his fury in check, as he roared out, "Yue Zhong! Do you see that?! All of Guha City's strength has been activated! Surrender now and you may yet have a chance! I can plead for you in front of my father! Otherwise, there'll only be death!! Even the woman beside you will be implicated!! She would suffer a fate worse than death!! If you dare kill me, the great Emperor George, my father, will not let you off!!!"

Jody frowned, and urged Yue Zhong, "Yue Zhong, it's enough. If you were to kill him, Father would really not let this matter go."

Yue Zhong glanced at him, his gaze icy, his tone incomparably cold, "Jody, this bastard has to die. If you want to stop me, then you'll be my enemy."

Georgie had a nasty character, viewing commoners as ants, and toyed with them. Such a person could not be any higher on Yue Zhong's hated list. If he did not have the strength, then there was no choice. However, now that he had the might, he would not let such scum off. While there were many such characters under the sun, and he naturally could not deal with all of them, as long as he came across one, he would not mind killing them as a favor to the rest of humanity.

The vile actions of scum like Georgie and his friends had thoroughly crossed Yue Zhong's line. He had thus come to the decision in his fury, even if he had to kill the rest of the experts in order to deal with them, he would do so.

Stared at by Yue Zhong, Jody felt his heart shudder, and he retreated a few steps, keeping silent.

Lina frowned, and stepped up to pull Jody, shaking her head gently. She had witnessed Yue Zhong's might, and it was obvious he had many more trump cards. If he were to go crazy, the whole Guha City might be annihilated.

Their exchange was heard by everybody.

When Georgie heard Yue Zhong's voice, his face fell, and he pulled out a white box the size of a palm and roared out in haste, "Father!! Save me!! Someone wants to kill me!!"

Immediately, a huge Type 8 pressure billowed from the palace within Guha City, as a thunderous voice range out, "Who?! Who dares kill the son of I, Emperor George!!"

Yue Zhong had a look of ridicule as he grabbed Georgie, "It's useless, even if the Heavens themselves came down, they can't save you. You're destined to die today!"

A huge palm of energy then swiped downwards at Georgie without mercy.

Georgie's face fell and tried to react at the first moment. His body tensed up and his muscles became taut, as he punched out with over a hundred palms in an instant, slamming into Yue Zhong's energy palm.

His reaction was fast and exemplary. However, there was a vast difference in strength between the both of them. All of Georgie's defenses were broken through and he was grabbed.

The moment he was caught, his aggressive demeanor crumbled, as he began to plead, "Don't kill me!! Please!! Please don't kill me!!! I can give you all my wealth!! I can hand my women, as well as 3,000 other virgins!! Please spare me!!"

The scene of how Yue Zhong crushed the rest of his friends resurfaced in his mind, and his fear was heightened once more.

"I'm the commander of the Central Guards, Ereman, put down his Highness!! Everything can be discussed!!"

An enraged roar sounded, as numerous elite guards surrounded the place, and the leader stepped through the air, emitting a Type 7 aura as he barked at Yue Zhong.

Over a thousand of the guards had converged on this location, surrounding Yue Zhong tightly as they eyed him warily. They did not dare to act impertinently, as their prince was in his hands. Furthermore, Georgie was Emperor George's favorite son. If he were to die, their fates would be sealed.

Even when encircled by those elites, Yue Zhong's eyes turned cold as he closed his right hand tightly, "You can atone for those innocents who had died at your hands!!"

"NO!!!"

Screaming out in despair and fear, the human scum was finally crushed.

"NO!!!" Ereman saw Georgie squeezed to death and let out a howl of agony, his eyes scarlet red, as he ordered in fury, "Kill him!!"

Georgie had been killed in front of him, Emperor George would definitely not let him off. At best, he would be reduced to a commoner and had to work his way up again. At worst, he would be killed.

Jody's face fell as he roared out, "Stop!!!"

Jody's words would usually be heeded by Ereman. However, the commander was enraged and had lost his rationality. The thousands of elites were charging at Yue Zhong in rage as well.

At that instant, numerous particle beams fired out at Yue Zhong.

"Bunch of ants, die!!"

Yue Zhong looked to the sky, his eyes flashing with a cold glint. The atmospheric energy then gathered around him and transformed into countless swords and blades.

In that instant, all 1,000 elites were slaughtered, turning into a pile of meat and metal.

At that moment, Emperor George had just arrived at the scene, and he stopped at a distance of about 3km from Yue Zhong, his voice ringing out, "I am Emperor George of the Holy Sirius Empire. May I ask who are you? Why did you start slaughtering the moment you came to Guha City, and even killed me son Georgie?!"

The distance was enough for him to react should anything happen. With his measures, he was certain he could flee even if the opponent was a peak-Type 8 expert.

Yue Zhong stared at Georgie and spoke solemnly, "I'm Yue Zhong, and I was invited by Prince Jody and Princess Lina to visit your Guha City as a guest. Your son Georgie and his bunch of trash friends had offended me and crossed my boundaries. Naturally, they had to pay the price. As for the rest, since they attacked me, I killed them in retaliation."

Lina immediately stepped forward, "Father, Yue Zhong is indeed a guest we invited. He had helped to solve the Giants' issue at Adenia Town, wiping out the 2 groups, and he is a true hero. This time, he is here in preparation to enter the Holy Heavens to join the Northern Temple."

"What?! He actually slaughtered 2 groups of Man-eating Giants by himself?!" When George heard Lina's words, his heart was filled with shock.

If there was a place with 2 groups of giants, there was sure to be at least 4 Type 8 giants. The Holy Sirius Empire would come to clashes with them once in a while, and most of the time, they would be at the losing end. Their rare victories were against the groups which no Type 8 giants.

George himself did not have the ability to wipe out 2 whole groups of giants by himself, and he understood Yue Zhong's strength in an instant.

With his ability to deal with giants, even if the entire Guha City deployed all its trump cards, the end result would be at best, both sides suffering heavy casualties. If he were not careful, it was possible that Guha City might be annihilated as well.

As the Emperor of the Holy Sirius Empire, George was no simple character. He came to a judgment quickly and immediately smiled warmly at Yue Zhong, directly bowing and apologizing, "So it was like that. I apologize, Mr. Yue Zhong, for my failure to discipline those fellows, causing them to offend you."

Jody and Lina stared at their father, their eyes filled with shock, but immediately after, relief. George was fierce usually, but facing the stronger Yue Zhong, there was nothing in lowering himself. Before he had come to govern the Holy Sirius Empire, he had been through so much more in the past.

Yue Zhong looked at George and spoke without standing on ceremony, "George, those scum that had offended me, did so because of their backing and used it to threaten me. I'm not satisfied, other than Georgie, I want to wipe out those who backed those lowlifes."

George chuckled lightly, stepping towards Yue Zhong, as he replied, "Not a problem, I've been busy cultivating these few years, and thus, my management of Guha City has relaxed. That is why there are so many scum. It was a mistake on my part. I will definitely deal with them, and give you a proper answer."

George then gave an order to a Type 7 powerhouse besides him, "Ibi, convey my orders, go get Prime Minister Max, Minister of Law Hammond…, and all of them, are to be thrown into jail. If there's any resistance, kill them without mercy."

Jody and Lina, who stood one side, watched George giving orders with a complicated gaze. They knew that under those orders, most of the bigshots who could affect the Holy Sirius Empire were going to be stripped of their posts. Even Jody and Lina had to view these people with respect and fear in the past. However, a single sentence of Yue Zhong changed things.

Ibi bowed, and swiftly led 20 experts with him, "Yes! Your Majesty!!"

George then invited warmly, "Yue Zhong, in order to open the spatial gate, it would take a day's time. While waiting, why not come over to my palace and have some fun? Let me host you, and build our friendship."

Yue Zhong replied without batting an eyelid, "However, I've already promised Jody and Lina to go to their palaces."

George swept the 2 a stern look and ordered, "Jody, Lina, come to the imperial palace and help me treat Yue Zhong as well."

Jody and Lina could only respond, "Yes! Father!"

George then smiled at Yue Zhong, "This way please!"

Yue Zhong chuckled and brought Aisha as they followed George towards the palace.

George took a look at Aisha and asked, "Yue Zhong, is this your woman?"

Aisha felt flushed, as she replied hastily, "Your Majesty, I'm not…"

To Aisha, George was the mighty Emperor of the Holy Sirius Empire and deserved idolization and reverence. When she was young, she had heard the stories of how he established the empire all by himself. Seeing him in person, she was a little flustered.

Yue Zhong chuckled and did not say much.

Before George established the kingdom, he had been a commoner as well, having been through countless miracles and hardships to reach where he was. He was a man of charms, and once he put down his identity and took the initiative to befriend Yue Zhong, both sides got along well.

He might not be on the level of those Holy Sons and Daughters, but with his Type 8 strength, he was still a decent character within the Holy Heavens and knew many things. Yue Zhong thus benefitted.

The Great God World was incomparably vast, with numerous races and species, as well as countless hidden gateways that could access the 800 worlds.

In this Great God World, where countless races reside, and experts were aplenty, there were still 4 main classifications.

They were the Human Race, the Mutant Beast Race, the Man-eating Race, and the Devils Race.

Of these 4, the Devils were the strongest, while the humans were the weakest. The Mutant Beasts were 2nd and the Man-eating Races were the 3rd.

Each main group was made out of countless other subcategories, and the Man-eating Giants were one of those under the Man-eating Race. The Asura Clan would be something that fell under the Devils Race.

Among the 4 races, there had always been a competition for resources and treasures, in order to break through and escape from the cage of control. Conflicts and wars were inevitable, and thus, hatred ran deep.

For the sake of the whole of humanity, the Human Race created the Holy Heavens, and with it, all the human experts gathered, establishing a foothold in this cruel world.

The humans had their Holy Heavens, and the Man-eating Race had their own Divine Temple. The Devils had their 10,000-Devil Altar, and the Mutant Beasts had a relaxed Union.

Other than these 4 main groups, there were numerous others as well that did not get involved in the conflict, living their own lives.

At the same time, within the Great God World, there were many forbidden lands, where it was rumored to be formed from the battles between Type 10 Legends. Even Type 9 powerhouses would fall if they entered.

Inside these forbidden lands, there were sure to be countless treasures, and the imprints left behind by those Type 10 powerhouses. Every year, there would be numerous experts who tried their luck within.

Many perished, but at the same time, with risk came reward, and many others earned their way into becoming overlords of their own lands.

George then extended a warm invitation to Yue Zhong, "It's dinner time, come, Yue Zhong, let us have a good meal together."

Having lived for so long, he was still approachable, knowing where the lines were and was good with his words. In front of Yue Zhong, he did not exude the bearing of an Emperor, instead, maintaining the aura of an ordinary person, and through his efforts, Yue Zhong and he were already good friends throughout the journey.

Yue Zhong chuckled, "Sure!"

George then revealed a mysterious smile, "I'll bring you to a fun place in a while, and let you enjoy yourself."

After dinner, George brought Yue Zhong away from the palace and came to a lavish center not far from the palace, and it was beautifully furnished.

George donned a mask, and handed another mask to Yue Zhong, "Here, this is for you!"

2 beautiful ladies with alluring figures then came up to the 2 of them, saying, "Sirs, please take out your member cards."

George laughed lightly and handed a white-gold card to one of the beautiful ladies.

She took one look at the card and her attitude became even more respectful, "So you're an esteemed guest, please come with me."

Under her lead, the two of them entered the building.

George then brought Yue Zhong to a room located on the 2nd floor deep within the center, where one could see below, although the people below could not see above.

Inside the room, there were a number of maidservants who brought rare delicacies into the room for both of them to enjoy.

George casually placed a fruit into his mouth, before pointing below, "Yue Zhong, you must be wondering why I brought you here. Take a look below."

Yue Zhong peered down curiously, and noticed many men and women with masks, holding wine glasses in their hands as they chit-chatted.

At the center of the hall below, there was a huge pool, and a few couples were grooving with one another.

"Yue Zhong, those below are all nobility of the Holy Sirius Empire. This is an entertainment and thrill center. As long as there is a pair who likes one another, they could head to another room to do their business. With the masks, they feel assured that their identities would not be revealed. In truth, I know clearly who they all are. Look at that particular pair, the woman is the wife of the Marquis of Wharton, and the man with her is her father-in-law, the old Marquis of Wharton. They had already engaged in activities here no less than 10 times. Haha, isn't it interesting? The Marquis of Wharton is actually made a cuckold by his own father. Hahaha, it's really funny!"

George waved his hands, and the masks were revealed only to himself and Yue Zhong, as he pointed excitedly and laughed.

As Yue Zhong listened, he understood that this George had the fetish of voyeurism. He was not interested in the private affairs of others, thus he just listened while helping himself to the food.

George laughed lightly, "Yue Zhong, every woman below is a noble. Some of them are even high in the social class. See if any caught your eye, and just choose. The moment they entered, they have no way of disobeying the orders of the owner of this box. Every one of them is a decent quality good."

George continued to point out a few top beauties, as he laughed gently, "Those are from powerful backgrounds in Guha City, and are influential madams and wives within the city. Many of the young male ministers are under their skirts, and thus, they're proud and arrogant. They came here purely to seek a thrill and enjoy the atmosphere, and would not engage in illicit affairs that casually. However, if you just say the word, they will be yours."

Yue Zhong looked down below, noticing the few prominent females. As George said, they had an aura about them, their bodies sexy and their features beautiful. They carried themselves with elegance and power, causing one to feel the desire to dominate them.

Many males had the intention to dominate these women of power and press them beneath. It would give them a sense of achievement.

Yue Zhong swept a gaze, before turning to look at the food, "I'm not interested."

George laughed and pressed a button, "That's true. Those women are not worthy. However, there's one that you might be interested in."

At that moment, smoke started to billow on the stage below. Within the fog, a fairy-like maiden stepped out carefully but gracefully, her long black hair accentuating her jade-like features. Coupled with her demeanor and the clothes that she wore, it was a picture of perfection.

"Dong Yu Yao!!"

"It's Dong Yu Yao!!"

That's the top beauty and idol superstar of the 4 Kingdoms!! What is she doing here?"

"That's Dong Yu Yao!! Who would have thought, that I could see her in person!!"

"..."

The fair maiden with perfect looks and charm caused a huge uproar the moment she appeared. Looks of admiration, love, envy, worship, longing, greed, lust, all fell upon the stage.

Yue Zhong was affected by the commotion below and looked towards the stage. When he saw Dong Yu Yao, his heart could not help but be shocked, as a distant memory resurfaced in his mind, and the silhouette of a young girl in his mind merged with the Dong Yu Yao on stage, as he blurted out, "Jing Qi!!"

On stage, the beautiful Dong Yu Yao bore a 30% resemblance to Yue Zhong's first love, it was just that Dong Yu Yao was a lot more attractive and eye-catching.

Dong Yu Yao walked through the smoke, her eyes bright like crystals. Her beautiful lips parted and the next moment, an unearthly melodious voice resounded throughout the hall.

The moment she started singing, the noisy venue quietened down, and everyone became immersed in the singing, their expressions of bliss.

Dong Yu Yao had an incredible quality to her voice, to the point of being almost mysterious, as it was able to calm down one's heart and bring back beautiful memories.

Inside the venue, everyone was reminiscing about their childhood memories, and without knowing, many of them began to tear up slightly.

As for Yue Zhong, even at his Type 8 stage, his immense willpower and fortitude, he could not help but recall his wild and young, passionate days.

The first time he saw the girl. The first time he was moved in his heart. The first time he skipped class. The first kiss he had. The first time he fought because of her. The first heartbreak he suffered. Without knowing why, 2 clear teardrops appeared out of the corner of his eyes, his stone-like heart that had been a result of so many battles, physically, mentally and emotionally. He had been through so much and had been so taut and tense for so long. His exhausted self finally felt a hint of rest for the longest time.

Although he had a Third Order God-Devil Body, and most Spirit-based attacks were nullified to him, Dong Yu Yao's singing was not considered a Spirit attack. Instead, it was a strange power that could relax one's mind, bringing back the good memories, causing him to understand a little more about himself.

Yue Zhong recovered quickly, wiping the tears with an impassive face as he gazed at the beautiful Dong Yu Yao, asking in a low voice, "Who is she?"

George revealed a crafty, fox-like grin, "She's called Dong Yu Yao, a superstar of the 4 Kingdoms, namely, the Holy Sirius Empire, the Wei Dong Empire, the Frost Mist Empire, and the West Wind Empire. She has countless admirers everywhere, and possesses a rare physique, the Yin-Jade Physique, and came from the rare race of humans known as the Heavenly Song Race. In the entire Great God World, there are barely 200 of them that are pure-blood and she is one of them. Every single one of them is an idol throughout the continent, known to sing well. She's also one of the top few cultivating geniuses of the Race as well."

Yue Zhong spoke resolutely, "I want her!!"

George had a difficult look, "Yue Zhong, it isn't so easy. She's a revered idol of 4 kingdoms, and most of the upper echelons are her fans. If I were to touch her, it would affect the relationship among all of us. Why not, let's do it this way, I'll head back and immediately get someone to gather a 100 virgins of noble birth, how about that?"

As the Emperor of the Holy Sirius Empire, George was in control over a billion citizens. Within his palace, he had a huge number of beautiful virgins, and choosing a hundred was not a difficult task.

Yue Zhong frowned slightly, staring at George for a long while, before flipping his hands and revealing a precious Type 8 Mutant Beast nucleus, "This Type 8 nucleus in exchange for her."

George stared at the nucleus, his eyes brightening and there was a hint of greed. Such a nucleus was incredibly precious, there was not even one within the Holy Sirius Empire.

A Type 8 Mutant Beast was not long powerful, but also possessed intelligence. It was hard for George to take on one without leaving unscathed. In all likelihood, chances of his death would be 90%

Therefore, a single Type 8 nucleus could easily be used to exchange for a lot of wealth in the Holy Sirius Empire.

George forcefully suppressed the desire for the nucleus, as he grinned at Yue Zhong, "No, I can gift her to you, but, you will owe me a favor."

George had risen from the ranks, starting as a lowly commoner, and continued on the arduous path of cultivation, reaching where he was after hard work. He could tell that Yue Zhong was powerful, and if he continued on his path, it was likely that his future was full of potential. It was not impossible for him to be a Type 9 or even half-God powerhouse. It was worth it to try and get him on his side.

After all, a Type 9 powerhouse was at the peak of the Great God World and the rest of the 800 worlds. If he was willing, he could easily crush the Holy Sirius Empire.

Yue Zhong was silent for a while, after some time of consideration, he replied slowly, "Alright!"

George laughed lightly, "After she finishes her song, she will be yours."

Yue Zhong continued, "George, what will you do to get her to follow me willingly? If you intend to force her, then forget it. I'd rather do it myself."

George held up his wine and drank it down, laughing confidently, "I brought her up from young. It was because of my support that she could reach where she is today. She would naturally obey my orders."

It was not easy to become a superstar across kingdoms. Without a strong backer, no matter how pretty she was, she could have easily been gobbled up by any of the upper echelons in these empires.

Yue Zhong nodded, as he continued to gaze at Dong Yu Yao quietly.

In another box not far from them, there was a young youth, wearing luxurious clothes. He was gazing at Dong Yu Yao with a look of greed, "Who would have thought that I could come across such an outstanding woman here. Marius, tonight, I must have her!!"

Facing that young man was another handsome man with a deep-set gaze and beautiful blond hair. He spoke against it, "Young Master Fang Ming, this Dong Yu Yao is not an ordinary woman. She is a superstar and well-known across all 4 kingdoms. Her backer is the Emperor of our Holy Sirius Empire, His Majesty George. If I were to take her forcibly, and it was found out, our Helu Family would be in trouble."

Fang Ming stared at Marius and barked out, "George? Who the fuck does he think he is? He's just a trash stuck at the initial-Type 8 realm. A few hundred years ago till now, there has not been any change. He has no more potential! Within the Holy Heavens, he's a mere commoner. As for me, Fang Ming, my father is the 1st Holy Son of the Western Temple, Fang Xuan! Our Fang Clan is also the royal family of the Da Xing Empire, with a Type 9 ancestor holding the fort. He would not dare to provoke us! Marius, go grab the woman now, or else, don't blame me for being rude!!"

Being scolded by Fang Ming, Marius felt his back drenched in cold sweat as he trembled. The youth in front of him was truly not simple, and not an existence he could afford to antagonize. If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as squashing an ant. Even Emperor George could not save him.

Marius gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes! Young Master Fang Ming!!"

After that, he quickly waved his hands at 2 soldiers, pointing to Dong Yu Yao and ordered, "Go grab that girl here for the young master."

Report chapter

The 2 guards swiftly replied, "Yes!"

They had followed Marius for a long time and were Death Warriors groomed by the Helu Clan. They were willing to die for their masters, thus they would obey orders without a single question or word of complaint.

They disappeared, and leaped down from the 2nd story, charging towards the singing Dong Yu Yao.

Yue Zhong glared, his killing intent bursting forth. Reaching out with his hands, he intended to crush them directly.

George stopped him, however, and chuckled, "Yue Zhong, there's no need to act. You will be able to watch a show. Such a thing always happens every year. She naturally knows how to handle it."

Yue Zhong's frown eased, as he placed his hand down and laughed, "That's true."

As the 2 soldiers were about to reach Dong Yu Yao, she lifted her head and frowned slightly. There was a chilly light within her eyes, and she quickly whisked out a soft, silver sword from her waist, charging forth. At the moment she pulled out her weapon, her entire demeanor shifted, and the aura of an idol was transformed into a valiant female swordswoman, exuding an imposing 'One with the Sword' will.

A powerful Type 7 energy was emitted from her alluring figure, as her eyes turned frosty. Her sword then thrust out at the sky, as a powerful Sword Qi shot out, seemingly capable of tearing apart the sky, as it enveloped the 2 elites from the Helu Clan.

In an instant, the 2 of them disappeared within the Sword Qi and was sliced apart till there was nothing left.

If one had been hit by an ordinary blade, there would still at least be a corpse. However, under the merciless attack of Dong Yu Yao, there was no bone or blood left.

Marius saw the 2 Type 5 experts that had followed him loyally for so long, killed in an instant, and there was a look of envy and fury in his eyes, "Damn bitch!!"

Type 5 powerhouses were not as common as cabbages even among the Holy Sirius Empire. Within the Helu Clan, there were not many of them. With 2 of them dead, it was an aching loss for Marius.

Seeing Dong Yu Yao killing the guards of the Helu Clan, Fang Ming roared out with laughter, his lust for her deepening, "What a fiesty one. I like it. Who would have thought that such a woman existed?! It's truly amazing!! Haha! Fang Sheng, this woman is a Type 7 powerhouse, the rest of the trash here are no match for her. You go and grab her for me!"

"Yes! Master!" A middle-aged man with short hair who had been standing quietly behind Fang Ming all this while, replied curtly, and immediately shot towards Dong Yu Yao, his aura bursting forth.

Fang Sheng stepped through the air and came up in front of Dong Yu Yao, threatening, "Miss Dong Yu Yao, my Young Master requests your presence."

Dong Yu Yao saw Fang Sheng emerging from the Helu Clan's area, and a flash of rage appeared in her eyes. She replied coldly, "What if I refuse?"

Dong Yu Yao had been on the road during her tours and had seen countless scum. She knew that if she were to go up, there would be no end to her humiliation. The other party obviously did not treat her as a person, but a toy to be had.

"That's not up to you!"

Fang Sheng's gaze turned frosty, as he exuded an initial-Type 8 aura, and reached out to grab her.

Star Sword!

Dong Yu Yao's face fell, and she became tense, pushing her strength to the limits, and the soft sword in her hands transformed into many sharp beams, shooting out at Fang Sheng like shooting stars.

This was the strongest technique she possessed. It was able to exhibit a power 30 times of hers, capable of injuring even a Type 8 powerhouse.

"Not bad, your sword skills are excellent, and you have potential! If you were a Type 8 powerhouse, it would truly be difficult for me to deal with you. However, you're not my match right now! Just give up!"

Fang Sheng laughed coldly, his right hand suddenly congealing a powerful and mysterious glass shield, which struck towards the countless sword beams. In an instant, all of Dong Yu Yao's attacks were nullified, and there was not a scratch on Fang Sheng's right arm.

Amidst Dong Yu Yao's despairing gaze, Fang Sheng laughed savagely and reached out to grab her.

Just as his fist was about to close on her, his face changed suddenly, and he retreated explosively.

A powerful sword beam descended upon his original location, splitting the stage in half.

As the terrifying sword qi faded, Yue Zhong's figure appeared.

Fang Sheng swept Yue Zhong a look, his gaze turning serious, as he asked arrogantly, "Who is this? I'm Fang Sheng from the Da Xing Empire's Fang Clan. My Young Master has his sights set on this woman. Please make way, otherwise, you will surely regret."

When George heard this, his countenance turned ugly, "Da Xing Empire Fang Clan!! To think it's them!! This matter is troublesome. No wonder those fellows were so overbearing, they did not put my country's laws in their eyes at all!!"

The Da Xing Empire and the Holy Sirius Empire were basically like a dragon and an ant. There was a true Type 9, half-God existence guarding the interests of Da Xing Empire. At the same time, there were many half-step Type 9 powerhouses and over hundreds of Type 8 experts. There were 500 kingdoms to their name. Each one of them alone was already much stronger than the Sirius Empire. If they were to offend the Da Xing Empire, the Holy Sirius Empire could be easily wiped out without anyone knowing.

George quickly made a decision, "Thankfully, Yue Zhong is here to take this, looks like I have to take a step back."

He had always been like this, not offending those he could not afford to offend, and made as many friends as possible. This was how he rose to power.

George spoke in a telepathic manner to Dong Yu Yao, "My good daughter, the man in front of you is Yue Zhong. From today on, you are his. Understand?"

When Dong Yu Yao heard that, she was taken aback at first, before she looked at Yue Zhong with a complicated gaze, "Understood, Father."

Dong Yu Yao had undergone a strict upbringing and knew there would be one day where she had to obey George's intended suitor for her. The notion of submitting to her new master had been carved deep into her bones. Even though she was slightly reluctant, she adjusted her emotions quickly.

Yue Zhong swept Fang Sheng a look and laughed coldly, "Da Xing Empire's Fang Clan? Who the fuck is that? You and your Young Master had better crawl out of here like dogs, and I will spare you. Otherwise, the both of you can go to hell."

Hearing how Yue Zhong had insulted the Fang Clan, George was dumbfounded, his scalp numb, "It's over, it's over!! This Yue Zhong is too arrogant!! That's the Fang Clan!! An empire with a half-God entity!!! There're even a few half-step Type 9 powerhouses. He dared to curse them so, what an overbearing tone!!"

When Fang Sheng heard this, he trembled with rage, as though his eyes were about to burn with flames. The Fang Clan was truly considered a powerful family, and regardless of where they went, the mere mention of them would be sufficient for people to relent. There was almost nobody who dared to curse at the Fang Clan like Yue Zhong.

"Little bastard, you dare insult our Fang Clan, today will be your death day!!"

Fang Sheng immediately executed his strongest technique from the Fang Clan, the Diamond Glass Sutra, and his entire expanded into a 3m-tall giant that seemed to be made of glass.

After transforming, Fang Sheng's physique attributes were raised by more than 10 times. Each punch and kick matched a mid-Type 8 powerhouse. At the same time, his defense had soared, capable of blocking even a C-Grade Cannon.

"Die!!"

He reached out to grab, as the surrounding atmospheric energy swarmed to lock Yue Zhong in place. He stomped forward and disappeared, suddenly reappearing with a blazing temperature of space tearing, punching at Yue Zhong.

George saw how quietly Yue Zhong stood, as though frozen in place, and had a feeling of regret, "Why the hell did he not dodge?!!"

Fang Sheng's strike was enough to send George into a panic. Had it been him who received that blow, he would still be injured gravely while blocking.

Dong Yu Yao could not help but scream out, "Watch out!!"

Fang Sheng stared at Yue Zhong, his gaze filled with disdain, "To think I had thought you were capable of something! Who knew you were such a trash!!"

"Someone who lacks a domain dares throw a punch at me, just die!!"

Yue Zhong did not even lift his head, as his entire hand swung out to strike Fang Sheng in the chest.

With a loud blast, there was a look of shock in Fang Sheng's eyes, as his entire body began to crumble, and broke apart in a shower of blood and diamond pieces.

Seeing that, Fang Ming stood up in a flash, his face pale and his body trembling with shock, "Fang Sheng actually died?! How is that possible?! His Diamond Glass Physique is even able to block a C-Grade Cannon!! Even a Type 8 powerhouse would not be able to break his defenses so easily. How could that fellow just kill him in a single hit?! He did not even execute any technique!!!"

George stared at Yue Zhong, his expression frozen as he thought, "What a terrifying fellow! My choice was right! But… he's has gone and offended the Fang Clan thoroughly. If I continue this friendship with him, it might affect me. What should I do?"

Dong Yu Yao was filled with shock as well, "This man's strength is truly domineering! No wonder Father wants me to be with him. If I do this properly, it would be of great help to Father."

Yue Zhong's single slap had caused Fang Shang to disintegrate. He then turned to look at Fang Ming, his eyes exuding a sword-like gaze at him.

Glared at by Yue Zhong, Fang Ming felt a chill in his heart, "Shit, he discovered me!!"

"Come on down!"

Yue Zhong grabbed out at the direction, and a huge energy palm directly caused the entire box to be destroyed, as he grabbed Fang Ming and pulled him towards himself.

Fang Ming felt the overwhelming killing intent and his eyes went wide as he screamed out, "I'm Fang Ming from the Fang Clan, my father is the Holy Son of the Western Temple, Fang Xuan! This time, many people know that I came here to the Holy Sirius Empire! If you were to kill me, the entire Sirius Empire would be buried!!"

When George heard this, he was taken aback and quickly shot out of his box, coming to Yue Zhong, persuading, "Yue Zhong, give me some face, why don't you forget about this. Both sides should take a step back, and treat it as though nothing happened. How about that, Young Master Fang?"

Fang Ming seemed compliant as he agreed, "Yes, yes, Yue Zhong, as long as you let me go, I will forget about today. I will find some way to cover Fang Sheng's death… let's have it that he died protecting me from some Mutant Beast."

Although he seemed cooperative on the surface, his inner thoughts were entirely different, "Treat it as though nothing happened? Impossible!! Since you guys dare to kill someone from my Fang Clan when I'm home, I will definitely report this, and wipe all of you from the face of this world."

Yue Zhong stared straight at George, speaking solemnly, "George, from the moment I killed Fang Sheng, there's no way of repairing the relationship with Fang Clan. Do you think the Fang Clan would let someone who killed a Type 8 powerhouse from their Clan, off?"

George felt a shudder, and his expression turned dark, as he could not deny that. A Type 8 powerhouse would be a core character within the Fang Clan. Now that he was killed by Yue Zhong, this meant there was no reconciliation between Yue Zhong and the Fang Clan.

Unless a Type 9 powerhouse came out to intervene or mediate, the Fang Clan would not let things go. Furthermore, most Type 9 powerhouses were peak characters, while Yue Zhong and George were just considered small-time characters in front of them. They did not know any Type 9 powerhouses, so it would be a stretch to hope for reconciliation.

George had a cold look, as he ordered out, "Roger, seal the exit. Clean up everything here!!"

"Yes!"

The silent guardian of the location appeared and replied with a low voice, before disappearing.

Fang Ming's face changed as he shrieked, "No!! No, please, don't kill me!! I will go and plead the ancestor from the Fang Clan!! You guys can take me as hostage!! With that, the Fang Clan would not touch you! An imprint of my consciousness is placed in our Fang Clan's Soul Hall if I were to die, and the imprint goes out, the Fang Clan would definitely send people to investigate, and you guys will have no way of hiding it."

Yue Zhong's heart shook slightly, as he grabbed Fang Ming and knocked him out, "So there's such a thing, I'll spare your life then!!"

At the same time, a Type 7 Puppet Rune was sent into his head, turning Fang Ming into his puppet.

George stared at the unconscious Fang Ming and laughed bitterly, his expression sullen, "This time, we're really in trouble."

He had intended to give Yue Zhong a surprise, by giving Dong Yu Yao to him, in order to pull both sides closer. Who would have thought that someone from the Fang Clan would be here, and caused such trouble? This was a huge headache for him. If not handled properly, the Holy Sirius Empire was in danger of being annihilated.

Yue Zhong laughed lightly, "Don't worry, as long as I join the Northern Temple and become a Holy Son, the Fang Clan would not dare touch me either."

George squeezed out a bitter smile, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you then."

Since things had come to this point, George could only rely on Yue Zhong.

Seeing the broken center, everyone lost interest and began to clear out the place.

Yue Zhong then brought Dong Yu Yao and the puppet Fang Ming and left.

After reaching the palace, Dong Yu Yao followed Yue Zhong silently, towards where he was supposed to stay.

"Greetings Master!"

When Yue Zhong came to his assigned room, there were 20 beautiful young women kneeling outside the room, greeting him.

These were all incredible beauties, and could easily command attention anywhere in the world, and yet, with a single sentence from Yue Zhong, they would give their all obediently.

Under their welcome, Yue Zhong led Dong Yu Yao into his room.

When Yue Zhong entered the room, the women kneeling outside stood up and gazed at his back with shock in their eyes.

One of them spoke up with uncertainty, "Wasn't that… Dong Yu Yao?!"

"The Dong Yu Yao?! The idol of all 4 empires?! She is actually Master Yue Zhong's lover?! Unbelievable! Isn't she supposed to be a pure maiden?!"

"I was her fan!! Seems like her image is broken now…"

"..."

The few beauties began to engage in small talk. Dong Yu Yao's appearance had shocked them thoroughly. They could not imagine that the top superstar would actually become Yue Zhong's women.

One of them who exuded an elegant demeanor frowned and barked out softly, "All of you, quiet. This is the palace. How could you guys talk behind your master's back? Are you sick of living?"

Hearing that reminder, the rest of them quickly fell silent, not daring to speak further. They knew how strict the rules of the palace was, and if they were not careful, they could be reduced to an ice-cold corpse without them knowing.

Upon entering the room, Yue Zhong saw someone who he did not expect, "Why are you here?"

Lying on the soft bed, with a healthy skin color and an alluring figure that was dressed in a tight suit, accentuating her curves, while her flushed face turned away from Yue Zhong in shyness.

The woman was precisely Aisha, who had followed Yue Zhong all the way from Adenia Town.

Aisha gathered her courage to speak to Yue Zhong, "I want to be with you!"

The moment she said that she felt as though a huge weight had been lifted, and she stood up bravely, burrowing into Yue Zhong's embrace, while she moaned out in a flustered voice, "Take me!!"

Yue Zhong felt the lithe and nimble body in his arms as he took in her scent, and his body burned with desire. He hugged her back and placed her on the bed, getting on top of her.

Not too long after, there was a sharp moan from Aisha, as a small red puddle formed on the pure white bed sheet.

Dong Yu Yao stood at the side, her face scarlet red as she watched the scene of spring, before hesitating a short moment and entering the bathroom to take a bath.

After taking an entire hour to bathe, the fairy-like Dong Yu Yao finally walked out from the bathroom.

Dong Yu Yao had just walked out of the bathroom when a huge hand reached out to grab her into his embrace and his lips locked deeply with hers.

Dong Yu Yao was startled, but soon, she stretched out her tongue to meet Yue Zhong's passion.

The 2 of them embraced and after a while, there's another puddle of blood on the bed sheet.

At the moment when Yue Zhong and Dong Yu Yao were joined as one, a cooling sensation traveled from Dong Yu Yao into his body.

This energy was the Xiantian Primordial Yin from Dong Yu Yao's Yin-Jade Physique and it was extremely precious. It could transform a person entirely, reaching higher potential through metamorphosis.

The Xiantian Primordial Yin would not be of much use to someone like George, who was already at the limit of his talents and had spent much of his lifeforce. However, to Yue Zhong, who had a bountiful life force within him, it was a powerful nourishment.

As the clear and soothing Yin energy went into Yue Zhong's body, it joined with the life force within him. At that instant, it felt like his entire body was ignited, and the life force transformed, charging into his sea of knowledge. The golden energy that resulted then coursed through his body once more and seeped into his bone, transforming even his marrow into the color of gold.

After the energy was gone, Yue Zhong's bones were transformed into godly bones, and he finally reached the high-Type 8 realm.

Early the next morning, Yue Zhong opened his eyes and felt refreshed. He looked at Dong Yu Yao's fragile expression beside him, as his eyes flashed with warmth, "This lass seems to be a lucky star, to think that she helped me break through to the high-Type 8 realm. I should be able to take on a half-step Type 9 powerhouse like this."

At this moment, Dong Yu Yao stirred awake. She took a look at Yue Zhong beside her, and was frightened as she squealed, "No more, I can't take it!!"

Seeing that lovable expression, Yue Zhong was stirred, and could not help but pounce towards her, and hugged her tightly.

After spending an amazing morning together, Yue Zhong brought Aisha, Dong Yu Yao, and Fang Ming to the port.

"Yue Zhong, I still have to manage the affairs of the Holy Sirius Empire, therefore, I can't follow you this time." George extended his apologies, before turning around to his children and ordered, "Jody, Lina Bisiya, the three of you had better listen to your Uncle Yue Zhong, and be good guides, understood?"

This time, other than Jody and Lina, there was a 15-16-year-old girl who had her long hair tied up in 2 ponytails, looking extremely cute yet possessing a devilish body with a pair of D-cup breasts. She looked at Yue Zhong curiously, while smiling sweetly.

Hearing George's orders, the 3 of them replied respectfully, "Yes, Father!!"

'Goodbye!!"

"Goodbye!"

Soon after, a huge battleship soared out of the port at Guha City.

Within the imperial palace, a huge beam of light shot out and blasted towards the skies, revealing a huge door out of thin air.

The battleship soared straight into it and disappeared.

The huge door also gradually disappeared after the battleship soared through it.

"Was that spatial power? I could sense some fluctuations of space earlier. It was too bad that the fluctuation was a little weak."

Upon entering the door, Yue Zhong shut his eyes and tried to perceive the changes in the tunnel they had appeared in. It was just that he only managed to sense a sliver at the moment the tunnel was opened.

Inside the tunnel, space was turbulent, with random and powerful waves crashing everywhere. There were powerful principles and laws hidden within the turbulence, but this was a place that not even a Type 9 powerhouse dared to enter with their own fleshy body. The moment Yue Zhong were to try it, his body would be ripped apart.

Currently, amidst the chaotic space, there was a single tunnel that was relatively peaceful, and the group continued to traverse along the path inside their battleship.

Just then, a bright voice rang out, "You're Dong Yu Yao!! I know you!! You're Dong Yu Yao!! Big sis Yu Yao, I'm a huge fan!! Can you sign an autograph?"

Yue Zhong turned around, only to see the huge-breasted Bisiya bouncing towards Dong Yu Yao, practically begging for an autograph with a starstruck expression.

She was at the age where she would chase after idols and idolized the top idol of the 4 kingdoms very much.

Dong Yu Yao looked at her, chuckling slightly, as she signed on the board that Bisiya brought over, "Sure!!"

Jody walked up to Yue Zhong, looking at him with a complicated gaze, "Uncle Yue Zhong, you're truly formidable. To think that you've gotten the most sought-after pearl within a single day in our empire. Congratulations, Yu Yao is the dream woman of many within the 4 kingdoms. I'm guessing that many men would be heartbroken soon."

Dong Yu Yao was truly the dream lover for many men due to her status, and Jody was no exception, having harbored feelings for her secretly. In the end, she had ended up belonging to Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong chuckled, but changed the subject, "Haha. Any idea how long it would take to reach the Holy Heavens on this tunnel?"

Jody spoke, "5 minutes, it takes 5 minutes through this passage to reach the Holy Heavens."

Yue Zhong continued to ask, "Can the spatial tunnel of the Sirius Empire reach the other kingdoms?"

Jody replied, "No, the spatial tunnel in every human kingdom only leads to the Holy Heavens, and it's only there where one can find ways to other kingdoms and empires.

Yue Zhong immediately understood the underlying military application of such a system, "IN that case, doesn't it mean that humans could swiftly deploy their forces anywhere from the Holy Heavens?"

Jody spoke, "That's true, by using the tunnels, the numerous human kingdoms would be connected to the Holy Heavens. Which is to say, the tunnels are the core part of a kingdom, if it's destroyed, it's over for that empire. In our fights against some of the other species, those with intelligence would usually choose to target the spatial gates.

Yue Zhong then spoke, "The consumption of energy for the activation of the gates should be pretty steep, right?"

Jody nodded, "That's right. Each time, it would cost a Type 7 Mutant Beast nucleus to be consumed to the point of its destruction. That is why we don't usually activate it."

"We're here!!"

As the 2 were still talking, there was a huge door that suddenly appeared in the midst of the chaotic space, and the huge battleship passed through it, appearing on the other side.

The battleship soared through the gates and appeared over an enormous planet.

There were many spatial gates that opened and closed rapidly, as numerous battleships appeared out of those gates and flew towards the planet.

Yue Zhong stared at the shocking sight below and asked, "A planet!! The Holy Heavens is actually a planet? Or is this the Great God World?"

Jody explained, "The Holy Heavens truly is a planet. The Great God World is vast, its horizons of unimaginable size. About a million kilometer altitude is space. Beyond space, there are many galaxies and nebula systems that surround the Great God World. Many of the foreign races and species are from those places. Therefore, the fact that the Holy Heavens being a planet is not too surprising."

When Yue Zhong heard this, he reacted quickly. He was taken aback because he had never seen such a case before. Yue Zhong had never even left Earth within his own world, never been to the moon, and that was why he felt slightly lost.

Yue Zhong looked out the battleship and discovered many open spatial gates, taking up an area of over 300km across, with many huge mech fortresses floating around, each of them easily over 3km tall.

Within these fortresses, there were numerous C-Grade Particle Cannons, capable of injuring Type 8 powerhouses. At the same time, there was one single D-Grade Particle Cannon powered by countless Mutant Beast nuclei in each and every fortress.

The might of the D-Grade Cannon was immense. Most Type 9 powerhouses would easily be annihilated by a single hit of that cannon.

There were over 100 mech fortresses, and other than them, there were also over 100,000 other smaller fortresses with only C-Grade Particle Cannons covering about 10km each.

The dense network of fortresses formed a powerful defense grid, and under their coordination, even a peak-Type 9 powerhouse would perish here.

As Yue Zhong took in the surroundings, the battleship they were on slowly arrived at one nearby port.

No battleship was allowed to fly directly into the Holy Heavens. They could only dock at the designated mech fortresses, and after going through strict checks, they could then be transported through transfer gates.

"Hello, I'm the guide 1160, please come with me."

Just as Yue Zhong and his party disembarked, an ordinary-looking lady with decent features appeared, smiling at them.

"Sure!"

The group knew the rules, thus, they followed her.

Along the way, Yue Zhong continued to reach out with his perception, his eyes filled with shock, "What terrifying capital. Everyone's at least at the Type 5 realm here."

Within this particular port, there were easily 3 million inhabitants, each of them over the Type 5 realm. Here, a Type 5 powerhouse was actually considered the weakest.

On Earth, any one of them would be considered a talented individual already. However, here, they were just ordinary folk.

Right at this time, there was a grating voice, "Isn't this Jody and Lina? You guys came back too? I thought that you would stay holed up in that shit hole you call an empire."

Yue Zhong turned around, only to see 8 young men and women walking over, the leader a handsome young man of blue eyes and hair, his demeanor arrogant.

Jody turned to look, and his face sunk, "Arcadia… it's you?"

Arcadia laughed out lightly, and his gaze landed on Dong Yu Yao. He was immediately attracted, as he spoke, out, "That's right, it's me! Hi beautiful! I'm Arcadia, the Divine Envoy of the Western Temple, a glorious Type 7 Divine Warrior. Come, let us date."

Dong Yu Yao laughed out coyly, her mannerism enough to cause time to stop for a moment, as she grabbed Yue Zhong's right hand lightly, her bountiful chest pressing against him, "I already belong to him."

Seeing this, all the men stared at Yue Zhong with jealousy and envy.

Within these port, with over 3 million people, there was not a single woman who could compare to Dong Yu Yao.

Seeing that smile of hers, Arcadia felt his heart speed up before he tore his gaze reluctantly to look at Yue Zhong. After a moment of careful assessment, he spoke up, "This mister, I don't seem to have seen you before. You're not from our Holy Heavens, are you?"

Yue Zhong continued impassively, "I'm here to join the Holy Heavens."

Arcadia laughed out, and extended a warm invitation, "Then let me recommend you to join the Western Temple. Within the 5 temples, the Western Temple's strength is on par with the Central Temple, with a sizeable amount of resources. If you join us, I can help you too."

In this Starship Port, Arcadia knew he could not act unbridled. However, if Yue Zhong were to join the Western Temple, he would not even have to resort to any violent means, he could deal with him through various underhanded ways. Using such a method, he had already broken up numerous couples.

Seeing that, the 2 women behind Arcadia had sunken expressions and their eyes flashed with jealousy. However, they did not say anything. They were his lovers and were naturally unwilling to see Dong Yu Yao being roped in by Arcadia too. However, he was the Divine Envoy and had a prestigious status, there was nothing they could do.

"Not interested, let's go!" Yue Zhong did not bother with Arcadia and brought his people along.

One handsome man with graceful looks, comparable to a girl, laughed, "Haha, Dia, this young punk did not place you in his eyes. Pretty arrogant eh, why don't you go teach him a lesson, and teach him the rules of the Holy Heavens."

There was a crafty look in Arcadia's eyes, as he spoke slowly, "Dyman, that fellow is not simple. I can't see his strength level. He should have some form of a technique that masks it. If we were to act without investigating, who knows, we might get humiliated instead. Let's follow after them. In front of the Initiation Gate, he would definitely have to go through it as a newcomer. Once we know his strength, then we can decide what to do."

His companions agreed, "Yeah!"

In order to be domineering, one needed to have the capital. Within this Holy Heavens, there were numerous talented geniuses. Arcadia did not wish to offend someone he did not know anything about.

Fang Ming dared to throw his weight around because to him, the Holy Sirius Empire was basically a village. He could do anything he liked.

If it were in the Holy Heavens, then it would be different. Fang Ming would be careful, and not casually provoke someone he did not know anything about. Who knows, an ordinary Type 5 powerhouse might be the son, or grandson, or great-grandson, of some Type 9 old freak. If he made a mistake, there would be hell to pay.

The guide brought the party to a tall gate, standing at over a hundred meters tall, covered with numerous strange and mystical runes, as well as embedded with countless Mutant Beast nuclei. It looked ancient and powerful. She spoke, "This is the Initiation Gate. Please step through it to be evaluated."

Yue Zhong glanced at it and walked through it confidently.

When Yue Zhong walked through the gate, a golden beam shone directly on his body.

At that instant, a golden pillar shot out from Yue Zhong, heading for the skies, and congealed into an image of a huge golden dragon and a powerful golden tiger, as both illusions clashed and let out a powerful roar that shook the entire Starship Port.

The moment Arcadia saw that image, he was shocked till his mouth hung agape, his eyes filled with disbelief, "The mingling of a golden dragon and golden tiger! This is the legendary state of the Howling Dragon and Roaring Tiger! This fellow is actually at the high-Type 8 realm before the age of 50?! A powerful physique and a terrifying innate potential! As long as he is not killed, he's likely to reach the Type 9 half-God stage!! Where the hell did Jody and the rest find this freak?!"

When he thought to earlier, he felt a sense of fear, "Thankfully I was just being sarcastic and did not offend this monster, otherwise, he could have killed me in a single slap!!"

As for Yue Zhong's guide, when she saw the image, her face was filled with shock as well. She had never expected the person she was in charge of to be such a character, a potential Type 9 powerhouse in the future.

After all, even within the Holy Heavens, there were not many Type 9 powerhouses. Every single one of them was a major character, a leader of their own factions. Their combat strength was astonishing, and their actions mysterious. One would not need to pass through the gate to enter the planet.

Jody stared in excitement while thinking, "State of the Howling Dragon and Roaring Tiger!!! It was actually so high!! If he does not meet with any mishap, he will definitely become a Type 9 powerhouse!! Amazing!! We actually managed to befriend such an expert!! This is great news for the Sirius Empire!!"

As for Dong Yu Yao, Lina and Bisiya, they stared on in wonder.

"State of the Howling Dragon and Roaring Tiger!! It's a rare occurrence!! Who is it?! Who is this future peak expert?!"

"Image of the Howling Dragon and Roaring Tiger!! To think there was a monster who could summon such a vision!! I had thought that it was just a myth!!"

"..."

Seeing the powerful image in the sky, many experts within the port came swarming over.

Within moments, the area in front of the Initiation Gate was packed full of people.

After the image maintained for a short 5 minutes, it disappeared, and from the skies, a golden card fell into Yue Zhong's hands.

When he obtained it, a number of messages came through, allowing him to understand the usage of the card. It was his identity card, and he could make use of it to engage in all sorts of transactions. With this card, he could now walk freely in the Holy Heavens.

If there was someone without an identity card that appeared in the Holy Heavens, he or she would immediately be targeted for annihilation. Under the joint efforts of experts, even a peak-Type 9 half-God powerhouse would be killed.

When he received the identity card, Yue Zhong swept a gaze towards the guide, who finally regained her senses, and quickly explained the usage of the card to Yue Zhong, while bringing them through a spatial transfer gate with respect.

Inside the Holy Heavens, the main currency was contribution points. With those, one could buy anything. One of the ways to earn contribution points was to present items of value in exchange with an official, another was to complete missions given by anyone within the Holy Heavens. There was one more, which was to engage in trade.

As she finished explaining, the group stepped through the transfer gate and disappeared.

Just as they left, a man charged up to the guide and asked, "Who was that man? Tell me and I'll give you 10 contribution points."

In the Holy Heavens, a single Type 4 Beast nucleus was worth 1 point, 10 points would allow a purchase of 10 nuclei. To a guide, it was a sizeable fortune.

Another man charged up and waved his own card, "Give me the exclusive, and I'll pay a 100 contribution points!"

"I'll pay 300 points for the exclusive information on that man!!"

"..."

A flurry of activity then broke out as experts rushed forward, each hoping to obtain information on Yue Zhong. Faced with such enthusiasm, the guide was slightly flustered but excited at the same time.

At this moment, a man in golden robes walked slowly forward, as he exuded a Type 8 pressure and barked out, "Out of my way!"

Under that pressure, the crowd immediately separated into two, "Holy Son Zhuo Nan."

He then smiled slightly, taking out a Type 6 Mutant Beast nucleus and placed it in the hand of the guide, saying, "Miss, I'll have to trouble you to give me the information on the man. This is your reward!"

"Thank you!" The guide was moved, and she quickly spoke of everything she knew about the group.

"So that was the case!"

After gaining the information, his figure flashed, as he brought the guide through the spatial transfer gate along with him.

At the moment as he entered, he waved his hands and caused a blockade to form outside the gate.

After the Holy Son Zhuo Nan went through the gate, many experts surged forwards in a bid to follow after him.

"Damn it, it's sealed!"

"So domineering!!"

"Bastard!!"

"..."

As the powerhouses charged through the spatial gate, they slammed into the huge shield and was sent flying back.

The experts could not help but curse out.

Arcadia took out a communicator and hurriedly reported all that he had witnessed, "Connect me to his Highness, Holy Son Xin Luo now!!"

At various parts of the Holy Heavens, the experts were all taking out their communicators to convey the news of the appearance of a future Type 9-powerhouse.

In the Central Temple, atop a crystal palace built on top of a floating mountain, came a booming voice, "What? The image of a dragon and tiger appeared? Zhuo Nan, are you for real?"

Zhuo Nan spoke respectfully, "Master, it is true. I saw it with my own eyes. He's a young man called Yue Zhong, and when he passed the Initiation Gate, he caused the image of a howling dragon and roaring tiger to appear! It was witnessed by many others over here at Starship Port as well!"

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

The voice continued with a satisfied tone, "Very good, Zhuo Nan, well done. You're truly my disciple. As your reward, you may enter the Space Pagoda to practice spatial laws for 10 years!"

Zhuo Nan immediately rejoiced, "Many thanks, Master!!"

The Space Pagoda was one of the Gold-Grade Treasures within the Holy Heavens. Inside it, there was an abundant source of atmospheric energy, as well as stable spatial laws for a cultivator to comprehend.

If Zhuo Nan could go in for 10 years, it would be equivalent to practicing hard and bitterly outside for 300 years. He was naturally elated.

"Yue Zhong eh? Let me see, where are you now?" The mysterious voice from within the floating mountain sounded once more, as the owner opened his eyes, a pair of powerful and strange eyes that seemed capable of piercing through the heavens.

The pair of eyes suddenly flashed brightly, locking onto Yue Zhong's position, "Found you!!"

At that moment, the owner of the eyes took a step out and tore through space, entering the rip.

On top a floating mountain within the Western Temple, a young man with short golden hair, eagle eyes and hook nose, as well as handsome features had a change in expression. "What?! The image of a howling dragon and roaring tiger?! Such a young heaven-defying genius in a thousand years! We cannot let him go to the other temples!! He belongs to us!" With that, he disappeared.

"Is this the Holy Heavens? Truly extraordinary!!" Yue Zhong stepped out from the gate, and saw a resplendent sight, causing him to sigh.

The gravity on the planet of the Holy Heavens was a hundred times stronger than Earth, and the energy was so much thicker and more vibrant.

The streets were clean, without any dust, and the structures were all maintained well and constructed beautifully. If any of these buildings were placed on Earth, they would easily win any architecture award, putting the most prestigious buildings to shame.

The pavements were wide and many automatic vehicles were floating and traversing, sending the passengers to where they wanted to go.

The transport system was not limited to the ground, as there were all sorts of vehicles floating through the air, according to different layer.s Yue Zhong observed the area carefully and noticed that there were flying carpets, things with mechanical wings, anti-gravity floating vehicles, flying Mutant Beasts, flying foreign species, clouds, etc.

At the same time, there were a number of floating mountains as well as huge, gigantic mechanical forts, giving the Holy Heavens a sense of wonder.

As Yue Zhong was observing the surroundings, the space beside him suddenly split open, as a young man in a green robe, with short hair and decent looks, stepped out.

Yue Zhong saw the man and his body became tense. He retreated a few steps and stared at the man warily, "Type 9 powerhouse!! This fellow is a Type 9 powerhouse!!"

The man had an appreciative look as he spoke, "Ah, to be able to tell my strength and make the appropriate response. Not bad! Truly a talent that can produce the fabled image of the howling dragon and roaring tiger. Kid, I'm Tian Duo, the Holy Lord of the Central Temple. I can tell that you have a bright future, and am here to invite you to be my disciple. With my pointers, as long as you join us and complete the test to be a Holy Son, you can become one of ours. Without my guidance, if you were to join other temples, you will have to start from the bottom, and slowly accumulate your contribution. It would take at least 5 years to complete the rest."

Within the Holy Heavens, with the 5 main temples as the bases, the Heavenly Lords were all at least peak Type 9 half-God powerhouses. Below them were the Holy Lords at the Type 9 realm, and below them, the Holy Sons at the Type 8 realms. Underneath the Holy Sons, there were a few Type 8 Elders who worked hard but had no way of breaking through. Below the Elders, there were Holy Sons-in-Training. Below them were the Divine Envoys, followed by the Divine Envoys-in-Training. After that were the Divine Servants, followed by the Divine Servants-in-Training. After that were the Ordinary Members, followed by the Ordinary Members-in-Training.

Yue Zhong's current identity was an Ordinary Member-in-Training. If he were to become a Holy Son, without anyone to recommend him, he would have to start from the bottom, continually completing missions and accumulating points. After reaching a certain level, then he would be able to raise in rank.

With Yue Zhong's current high-Type 8 realm, although he could quickly complete them and rise through the ranks, it would still take up some time.

Yue Zhong quickly made his decision, asking sincerely, "It is an honor to receive your invitation. Dare I ask Master, what are the customs to recognizing one as a Master? I'm not entirely sure about the traditions and customs here."

Yue Zhong had originally intended to join the Northern Temple. However, the fact that this Holy Lord Tian Duo came to invite him personally, it was giving Yue Zhong a lot of face. He was not someone who did not know how to reciprocate, therefore, he made the decision.

Right at this time, another spatial tear happened, as a golden-hair, hooked-nose man stepped out and barked out, "Hold it!!"

The man's gaze was electrifying, as he stared at Yue Zhong, "Yue Zhong, I'm from the Western Temple, Holy Lord Ursula. I admire you a lot, and I'm here to invite you to join our Western Temple. Accept me as your Master. As long as you join us, I will do my best to propel you to become a Holy Son within the shortest possible time. I can even grant you the authority to cultivate for 100 years within the Space Pagoda."

Inside the Holy Heavens, although all 5 Temples share the same goal in defending against external forces, there was sure to be internal strife and a disparity in strength.

The Heavenly Lords of all 5 Temples were all engrossed in discovering and comprehending the secrets of the world. Unless it came to a situation where the whole of humanity was at risk, they would be spending most of their time cultivating.

Like this, the strength of the 5 Temples depended on the other Type 9 powerhouses.

Among them, the Central Temple had the most Type 9 powerhouses. Their strength was also the strongest, and the resources the most abundant.

Although the number of Type 9 powerhouses within the Holy Heavens was not particularly high, there was still a difference of 3 powerhouses between the Western and Central Temples. If the Western Temple could pull Yue Zhong over, they would decrease the distance in the future.

Holy Lord Tian Dou frowned and asked, "Ursula, I was here first, how can you try to snatch a person in front of me?"

Ursula shot him a disdainful glance, "Tian Dou, there's no first come first serve. Yue Zhong can make the choice. It is his freedom."

Holy Lord Tian Dou's expression sunk as he frowned. He was intending to offer even better conditions. After all, compared to a future Type 9 powerhouse, a few conditions were nothing much.

If it was not for the strict rules of the Holy Heavens, Holy Lord Tian Dou would have promoted Yue Zhong to a Holy Son instantly.

Yue Zhong then bowed to Holy Lord Ursula, his voice apologetic, "Holy Lord Ursula, I'm so sorry, but I've already agreed to Holy Lord Tian Dou to join the Central Temple and accept him as my Master. I appreciate your intentions."

Ursula revealed a look of regret and pity, as he sighed, "What a pity, a pity!! I was late by just that much."

"Since I'm already here, it could be considered to be fate as well. Here's a communication talisman, with this, you can contact me directly." Ursula took out a talisman and threw it to Yue Zhong, before he clapped his hands and tore through space, stepping into the spatial tear.

Ursula was an intelligent man. Although he did not manage to pull Yue Zhong over, he still left with favorable feelings. If Yue Zhong could become a Type 9 powerhouse, who knows, they might become friends.

Yue Zhong, "Thank you, Holy Lord Ursula."

Holy Lord Tian Dou looked at Yue Zhong, his impression of him getting better by the second. His gaze then swept to Aisha beside Yue Zhong, and he could not help but frown, "Who is this woman? How come she's only at the Type 4 realm?"

These few days, Yue Zhong had also made use of some resources to push Aisha to the Type 4 realm.

Yue Zhong quickly explained, "Master, she is my woman, and has yet to reach the Type 5 realm, hence she can only make use of the temporary card to travel with me."

Holy Lord Tian Dou waved his hands, tearing a hole in space, "Those who are not yet in the Type 5 realm cannot join a Temple. I will arrange for her to be trained in a camp. Come with me."

"Yes!" Yue Zhong replied, before turning to Jody apologetically, "Sorry, Jody, I've joined the Central Temple."

Jody smiled warmly, "No worries. Joining the Central Temple is even more beneficial to you. When you make it big, don't forget this old friend."

"Of course!"

Yue Zhong laughed, and turned, bring Dong Yu Yao and the rest through the spatial hole.

Looking at Yue Zhong's disappearing back, Lina's gaze turned complicated, as she spoke with a lowered voice, "He's gone."

Jody's gaze also turned complicated as he sighed, "In the end, he's not of the same mold as us. It's understandable that he'd leave."

Lina kept quiet.

At this moment, space ripped apart again, as a beautiful woman stepped out, her long golden locks flowing till her waits. She looked at Jody and her brows arched, "Jody, where's the young man who had caused the image of a dragon and tiger?"

Jody stared at the woman, who possessed an incredible aura and seemed above anyone else, and spoke respectfully, "Holy Lord Yue Hua, the man Yue Zhong who was with us, and had triggered the image of a dragon and tiger during his initiation had already been taken away by the Holy Lord Tian Dou from the Central Temple, and joined them."

The beautiful woman was precisely the Holy Lord Yue Hua, in charge of the floating mountain of the Northern Temple. Her combat strength was astonishing and was the highest authority of 15 different human empires.

Her brows furrowed, as she spoke in a strong tone, that revealed her dissatisfaction, "Jody, since you're on good terms with Yue Zhong, why didn't you invite him to join our Northern Temple?"

To be able to trigger such a phenomenon during the initiation ceremony, it was a rare occurrence, and such an expert was definitely a peak talent. As long as he did not perish, he was sure to have a bright future.

Of the 5 heads within the Holy Heavens, 2 of them had also caused similar phenomenons when they had first entered.

If Yue Zhong could be taken in as part of the Northern Temple, then when he reached the Type 9 realm, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

Jody chuckled bitterly and explained himself, "Ma'am, I had wanted to bring him. However, the Holy Lord Tian Dou appeared personally to invite him, there was nothing I could do too."

To receive the invitation personally from one of the important figures of the Holy Heavens, it was impossible to reject. It was especially so for those with no background. If they were to offend a Type 9 powerhouse, then it would be difficult to traverse the Holy Heavens in the future.

Holy Lord Yue Hua sighed deeply, as her jade-like hands waved to tear space apart and she stepped through it, "What a pity! I was late just by a step!"

Lina asked, "Jody, what should we do now?"

Jody fell in silent contemplation, "Let's head back to the Northern Temple."

Having made a decision, the group quickly left.

On the other side, Yue Zhong's party stepped out of the spatial tear and arrived on the floating mountain that belonged to the Holy Lord Tian Dou.

Holy Lord Tian Dou pointed at the crystal palace on the peak of the mountain, saying, "This crystal palace is called the Tian Dou Palace, my living quarters. There are 8 mountain peaks behind it, where 8 of your senior brothers are currently residing in. The 9th peak shall be called Heng Yue Peak, and that is where you will reside."

Yue Zhong took a look and could sense the immense energy emitting from the peak. With joy and excitement in his heart, he replied, "Yes!"

Holy Lord Tian Dou then barked out in a low voice, "Xue Luo!"

A green spirit then materialized in front of Holy Lord Tian Dou, forming a human-like demon, with a green face and long, sharp canines, "Master, Xue Luo is here!"

Holy Lord Tian Dou ordered, "Go take these ladies to Heng Yue Peak, and arrange for their accommodations."

Xue Luo replied swiftly, "Yes! Master! Ladies, please follow me."

Dong Yu Yao and the other 2 followed Xue Luo away towards the Heng Yue Peak.

Holy Lord Tian Dou brought Yue Zhong towards his own crystal palace.

Under his lead, they came to a beautiful pavilion made out of crystal, surrounded by a lake filled with fragrant wine. The air was thick with an intoxicating scent, and within the lake, there were strange Mutant Beasts, even a few mermaids swimming within.

The 2 of them sat down, and 2 beautiful mermaids shot out from the lake, landing beside the 2 of them, their fish tails transforming into legs. They looked no different from any beautiful ladies, as they each held a jar of wine, as they poured out a cup for the Holy Lord Tian Dou and Yue Zhong.

Holy Lord Tian Dou waved his hands and a number of 1000-year lotuses shot out from the lake, landing on a jade plate as he casually took one and bit into it, offering some to Yue Zhong with a smile, "Eat up, these lotuses taste decent."

The 2 mermaids stared at the 1,000-year lotuses, their eyes filled with expectation. These lotuses were precious, formed from the essence of this wine lake, not only were they delicious, there were the miraculous effects of washing and tempering one's bones and marrows to have a qualitative change. If those 2 Type 6 mermaids could eat one, there was a chance to evolve to the Type 7 realm.

Yue Zhong took one piece and bit into it, and immediately, a powerful taste of wine was released into his mouth, and as it entered him, a clear energy coursed through his body, shaking his mental faculties slightly.

Holy Lord Tian Dou chuckled before a silver card flew out and landed in Yue Zhong's hands, "This is an identity token representing a Divine Envoy. From now on, you are a Divine Envoy of the Central Temple."

He then pointed to thin air, as a number of detailed instructions appeared, "In order to become a Holy Son of our Central Temple, these are the missions you'll have to complete. Here, there are a few mission, you can pick 5 of your choosing."

Although he could also directly transmit the details to Yue Zhong's sea of notification, it was considered an offensive thing to do.

When Yue Zhong glanced through them, he realized they were all extremely detailed, with some requiring a few death-defying tasks like killing 3 groups of Type 8 powerhouses. One of them was especially special, the moment that task was completed, one could become a Holy Son.

It was to charge into the Man-Eating Divine Temples, as well as the 10,000-Devil Altar and kill a half-step Type 9 powerhouse.

Within any of the powers, a half-step Type 9 powerhouse was important, once one was killed, it would be a huge loss to the faction.

If Yue Zhong could take down one from the Man-Eating Divine Temple or the 10,000- Devil Altar, that could prove that he was not a spy from the foreign races.

Yue Zhong's gaze flashed, as he chose 5 missions, one of which was the assassination of a half-step Type 9 powerhouse from those 2 enemy factions, "These are my choices!"

When he first entered the Great God World, he might not have been a match for a half-step Type 9 powerhouse. However, he had since risen by 2 small tiers, and already possessed the confidence of dealing with one.

There was a look of admiration in the gaze of the Holy Lord Tian Dou. He grabbed out and those 5 missions formed into a card, before handing it to Yue Zhong, "Good! These are the information on the missions. Once you've completed them, you will have completed the rites to the Master-disciple relationship. I will then impart all that I know, to you!"

One's mantras could not be passed on so easily, although Holy Lord Tian Dou was appreciative of Yue Zhong, he had to test him as well, to see if Yue Zhong was sincere about joining the Holy Heavens.

Once Yue Zhong completed those tasks, his hands would be stained with the blood of foreign species, he naturally would belong to the Holy Heavens.

Yue Zhong was not surprised, as he replied respectfully, "Yes!"

Holy Lord Tian Dou was an efficient man, once he handled everything, he let Yue Zhong leave.

When he returned to Heng Yue Peak, Yue Zhong took out his identity card and went into the network, "Let's see what privileges does a Divine Envoy have?"

Inside the Holy Heavens, there was a network that encompassed the entire world, allowing the inhabitants to communicate.

When Yue Zhong logged on, he was instantly swarmed with numerous notifications, "What amazing capital. This virtual network actually covers the entire human race, allowing all 108,765 human kingdoms to be linked up. As long as one has a Holy Heavens identity card, they could use the network to communicate."

The network reached all human cities, and each human kingdom was like a transmitting station.

However, only those of the highest authority could make use of the system. Ordinary folk did not know they were living under the surveillance of such an extensive network.

As a Divine Envoy of the Holy Heavens, Yue Zhong's authority within the network was decently high. He could easily investigate any person below his level of authority, digging up everything from their past. If he wanted to find someone, such a power was incredibly terrifying.

Yue Zhong quickly glanced through the information, before he turned his attention to the exchange system, and soon, a list of items appeared in front of his eyes.

"Type 9 Mutant Beast Blood, one vial: 100 million contribution points required. (only Divine Envoys and above can exchange.)"

"Type 8 Mutant Beast, Alive: 2 billion contribution points. (only Elders and above can exchange.)"

"Type 8 Mech Armor: 1.5 billion points. (only Elders and above can exchange.)"

" written by Type 9 expert Huo Lin: 10 billion contribution points. (only Holy Sons and above can exchange.)

"Life Fountain Water, one bottle, allows one to transform their bones and marrows. If a Type 7 powerhouse consumes this, greatly increases chances of breaking through to the Type 8 realm: 500 million contribution points. (only Divine Envoys and above can exchange.)"

"..."

Yue Zhong glanced through it roughly, and could already make out many heavenly treasures. Not only were they expensive, but they also required certain statuses to purchase. With Yue Zhong's current status, there were still many items he could not exchange for.

For example, the written by the Type 9 powerhouse Huo Lin, Yue Zhong wanted that badly, however, he did not even possess that many contribution points and his identity was not high enough to authorize that purchase.

Yue Zhong looked at all the items with red eyes, while thinking to himself, "No, I need to complete the missions fast, that way, I can earn contribution points to purchase items suitable for me, and quickly reach the Type 9 realm."

5 days passed by quickly. During these 5 days, Yue Zhong had been cultivating diligently to consolidate his strength, while obtaining as much intelligence as he could from the network.

He had killed Fang Sheng, and turned Fang Ming into his puppet, thus offending the Fang Clan greatly. He had to make preparations for itself.

On this day, Yue Zhong had just exited from the network, when Dong Yu Yao came up to him and said, "Yue Zhong, Jody's here. He's waiting in the living room."

"I got it!"

When Yue Zhong came to the living room, he noticed Jody was sitting alongside a beautiful woman with long, blonde hair, her figure voluptuous, and dressed in red leather.

Jody immediately introduced her to Yue Zhong, "Yue Zhong, this is Holy Daughter Bianna from our Northern Temple. She has some matters she would like to discuss with you."

Bianna smiled charmingly and said, "How do you do, I'm Bianna, pleased to meet you."

Yue Zhong directly asked, "Hi, I'm Yue Zhong. May I ask, Miss Bianna, what exactly are you looking for me for?"

She adjusted herself, accentuating her figure even more for Yue Zhong's viewing pleasure, before laughing lightly, "Mr. Yue Zhong, I know that you have chosen the mission to explore the Merlot Battlefield. A few of my comrades and myself have chosen that same mission. The Merlot Battlefield is a public area, and not only will there be spatial tears left behind by those Type 10 legends of the past, there are also spiritual imprints, undying devil spirits, as well as powerhouses from other species. I would like to invite you to join us on the expedition."

Yue Zhong then asked the crucial question, "In that case, how would we distribute any findings or spoils?"

She replied forthrightly, "If the person found the item, it belongs to him or her. If it were obtained as a group, then it would be determined by the efforts contributed."

With a thought, Yue Zhong agreed, "Sure! I'll join you guys!"

On such an expedition, the more people there were the better, Yue Zhong had also intended to head to the Merlot Battlefield for investigation.

Bianna then said, "3 days later, we'll meet at Chen Tang Mountain of the Tang Ce Empire, 10a.m. sharp."

"Sure!"

The Tang Ce Empire was the most remote of empires at the edge of human civilization, around the edge of that empire, there was nothing but a barren wasteland.

The foreign species were rampant in these wastelands, fighting amongst themselves continuously. There were even some Type 9 powerhouses among them. If it was not for the protection of the Holy Heavens, those foreign species would have already ravaged the Tang Ce Empire countless times.

Chen Tang Shan was a mountain that was the closest to the border, about 5,000m in height.

On this day, on top of the remote mountain, there were 4 people waiting.

Of the 4 people, there were 2 men and 2 women, the men handsome and suave, the women beautiful. Each of them looked like immortals, exuding an indescribable aura that was attractive and extraordinary.

One of the men, who wore a green robe and had a long sword on at his waist frowned slightly, as he asked, "Why isn't Yue Zhong here yet?"

The other man, who had golden hair and blue eyes, his nose slightly red and he wore a white robe, laughed lightly, "Bi Feng, he's someone who could cause the image of dragons and tigers to appear, a rare genius of a thousand years, it's natural that he's some big shot."

Bianna laughed and replied, "Azaman, Bi Feng, it's only 9:56 now, it's still not time yet."

The last woman, who wore spectacles and a white round hat on her head, her entire body decked in white, spoke coldly, "It's already 9:57, to be precise. With only 3 minutes to the appointed time, yet, there's no sign of him. Seems like he would not be here punctually. Such a person, with no time management, lacks bearing. Furthermore, we're all Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of our respective Temples, while he's merely a Divine Envoy. How could he be so arrogant? When he becomes a Holy Son in the future, who's to say he would not be uncontrollable?"

While Yue Zhong's trigger of the tiger and dragon illusion had shocked many, it had left many others with a bitter taste in their mouths due to jealousy and envy.

The 4 on this Chen Tang Peak were the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Holy Heavens, each of them having gone through numerous tests, and were recognized as geniuses and talents. They were all confident of their own strength, and now that Yue Zhong was making them wait, they were naturally unhappy.

Bianna tried to console her friend, "Annie, there's still 2 minutes. I think he should be able to make it within the time."

Annie spoke coldly, "Let's hope so."

"I don't think I'm late!"

Right at this time, a mysterious voice sounded from one side of the peak. Hearing Yue Zhong's voice, the rest all stiffened, as they whirred around towards the direction of the voice, noticing Yue Zhong standing behind them.

Bianna smiled warmly, "Yue Zhong, you're here. How come I did not see you come up?"

The remaining people also looked at him, curious to find out how he had managed to come up noiselessly. After all, their perceptions had been scanning the entire peak this whole time. Even an ant would not be able to escape their notice. However, under their very noses, Yue Zhong had still appeared behind them. It was as creepy as a spirit.

Yue Zhong laughed lightly, "I used some methods, intending to give you all a surprise."

Bianna took the initiative to introduce them, "Yue Zhong, let me introduce you. This is Holy Daughter Annie from the Western Temple. This is Holy Son Azaman from the Eastern Temple, while this is Holy Son Bi Feng from the Southern Temple."

Yue Zhong grinned, "Hi y'all! I'm Yue Zhong, pleased to meet you guys."

Bi Feng spoke coldly, "Since everyone's here, let's go!"

After that, he shot off into the distance.

Annie and Azaman nodded towards Yue Zhong, before following after Bi Feng.

"Let's go!"

Bianna then led Yue Zhong as they soared into the great barren lands.

Yue Zhong and the rest flew for a few hundred meters, when suddenly, Bi Feng, who was in the lead, came to a stop, his gaze serious, "Wait!"

The rest came to a halt and gazed ahead. In front of them, at about a dozen kilometers away, there were a number of black battleships, each one of them over 10,000m long. Inside these battleships, there were many humanoid creatures covered with black scales, a pair of horns on their heads, as well as a pair of demonic wings on their backs.

Annie spoke up coldly, "The Black Devil Clan! There are a total of 12 Black Devil Battleships. This is a huge fleet, and it likely possesses an entire regiment of soldiers. Usually, there would be 2 to 4 Type 8 powerhouses helming the fleet. If all goes according to past examples, the one leading such a troop would be a Type 8 expert. Since they've come out to the barren wastelands, it is likely that this is their slave-hunting team."

The Black Devil Clan was one of the 4 min Devil Clans among the Devils Race. They were bloodthirsty and savage, usually focusing on hunting other people to become their slaves while confiscating all their belongings.

Azaman frowned and asked, "Do we evade them?"

If it was just one battleship, he did not mind charging over to deal with the soldiers on board. However, against a huge fleet, the outcome would be unclear.

"Since they're here, we naturally have to deal with them! I'll make my move first!"

Yue Zhong gazed at the fleet, his eye filled with a blazing combat will. He took a single step and spared towards the 12 battleships.

Yue Zhong had risen to the high-Type 8 realm thanks to Dong Yu Yao's Primordial Yin. However, the energy accumulated within him had been utilized and wiped out. He naturally needed more, and would not let these enemies off.

The physique of these Black Devil Clan warriors was much stronger than humans. If Yue Zhong could kill them, then he would gain a huge amount of life force.

Annie spoke coldly, "He actually rushed out! What do we do, Bi Feng?"

Within this group of 4, Bi Feng's strength was the highest, reaching the peak-Type 8 realm. He was just barely some ways into the half-step Type 9 realm. As the rest were at the high-Type 8 realms only, they could only look to Bi Feng in this situation.

Bi Feng had a dissatisfied look, "The fleet of the Black Devil Clan is not so easy to handle. Let him taste some problems first, when he cannot hold out, we will go and save him."

Azaman laughed lightly, "Fine, let us see what this man capable of triggering the dragon and tiger illusion, can do."

Bianna waved her hands, and a white sash soared out, wrapping the 4 of them as they disappeared from this space.

Yue Zhong was already on his way to one of the ships. In a manner of seconds, he reached the shield and fired a punch onto its frame.

With that, the entire ship was rocked, and with a violent explosion, there was a huge hole that was blasted at the point of impact from Yue Zhong's fist.

The moment Yue Zhong charged through the ship, with a thought, the surrounding atmospheric energy transformed into countless blades that sliced out everywhere.

Under the barrage of attacks, the numerous Black Devil Clan soldiers within the battleship were sliced up into countless pieces, as he absorbed the life force voraciously.

The soldiers of the Black Devil Clan were different from humans. They were naturally powerhouses, each of them at least belonging to the Type 5 realm. Their numbers in the Type 6 realm was even more. The life force from dozens of thousands of these soldiers would be even more abundant than a billion ordinary people.

Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!

Within the battleship, there were numerous explosions. As that happened, critical parts of the battleship began to explode, as parts descended towards the ground.

A great number of Black Devil Clan soldiers flapped their wings, and flew out of the damaged battleships, heading towards the rest.

As for the remaining 11 battleships, they did not dare to be careless, quickly activating their energy shields, at the same time, aiming their main cannons at the huge battleship that Yue Zhong was still in.

Inside the remaining 11 battleships, one particular Type 8 commander, whose hands were wielding a battle spear engraved with runes, shouted out coldly, "Fire!!"

Immediately, the 11 cannons lit up and fired out, in that instance, a number of light beams burst forth, slamming into the huge battleship.

With a loud blast, the entire battleship, as well as the Black Devil Clan experts that had yet to escape, were all blasted into pieces.

"What a vicious Black Devil Clan!!" Before the cannons had fired, Yue Zhong had already fled out of the battleship, he stood in the air, and looked at the disintegrating battleship, and could not help feeling a sliver of fear. Had he been slightly slower, he would have been heavily injured as well.

After the 11 battleships had destroyed the ship, over a million Black Devil Clan soldiers soared out from the 11 battleships.

"What are they intending to do?"

Yue Zhong stared at the million Black Devil Clan soldiers with a strange glint in his eyes. He then reached out to grab, and a huge dragon claw condensed out of thin air, instantly gathering over a thousand soldiers and squashing them into meat paste.

With a thought, the atmospheric energy continued to roll and churn, forming multiple sharp blades that sliced out at the warriors.

Under that vicious attack, huge patches of the Black Devil Clan warriors were instantly killed.

One Type 8 Black Devil Clan general, whose body was shrouded in a black, devilish energy, wielding a 2m-long Devil Blade, stepped through the air and slashed out at Yue Zhong, "Brazen human!! I will tear you apart!!"

As the blade came slicing down, the surrounding energy was also absorbed into the blade, forming a terrifying blade beam that howled out.

Yue Zhong stared at the general and punched out right at the Devil Blade.

At that moment, the Devil Blade collapsed and was completely destroyed, while the body of the Black Devil Clan general was also obliterated in a mess of blood and flesh.

"General Lei Cha was killed!!"

"General Lei Cha was actually killed by a human, who is that?!"

"..."

Seeing the Black Devil General wiped out by Yue Zhong in a single fist, the soldiers of the Black Devil Clan were all shocked. They had not expected their guardian to be killed off so casually.

Azaman sighed in appreciation, "Powerful!"

Bi Feng spoke mildly, "Truly capable!"

Annie coldly snorted, "He's just so-so, at least he did not let down the expectations of his potential."

The 4 of them were peak powerhouses of the Holy Heavens, and if they were to use their strength, they would be able to kill that Black Devil General as well. Hence, they were not too surprised by Yue Zhong's might. Instead, they were curious and wanted to see what else he was capable of.

Bianna laughed gently, "The next one is the true test of his skill."

The hundreds and thousands of Black Devil soldiers still alive quickly formed a huge formation. With a unified roar, dense devilish energy surged out from them, pouring into the Type 8 general among them.

After absorbing the energy, the Type 8 general began to execute some secret technique and formed into a giant half-step Type 9 Black Devil figure, formed from all of them combined together.

Bi Feng and the rest stared at this, their gazes turning serious, "It's here!!"

This Black Devil giant that was exuding a half-step Type 9 might, was an entity that could kill a Holy Son from the humans with only a single slap.

Once the Black devil giant was formed, it stepped out and used its huge fist to slap out at Yue Zhong. A powerful energy locked the area around, preventing Yue Zhong from moving away.

"Just nice, I wanted to see what's the difference between me and a half-step Type 9 powerhouse." Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a strange glint, and he sent out a fist at the hand of the Black Devil giant.

A loud explosion occurred.

As the terrifying energy blasted outwards in all directions, the hand of the Black Devil giant disintegrated. In just a strike, over thousands of Black Devil soldiers had been killed.

"Seems like such an imitation still cannot match up to a proper half-step Type 9 powerhouse. You're of no use to me, you can go to hell now."

Yue Zhong's gaze turned frosty after destroying the hand of the giant, and he then turned into a beam of light as he appeared in front of the mid-riff of the giant, sending out a powerful fist at the head of the Type 8 Devil Clan general within the formation.

At the center of the Black Devil Giant, the strength of the near-million Black Devil soldiers was gathered, forming a huge, black shield. Its defense was incredibly strong, however, under Yue Zhong's attack, it instantly shattered, and the general within was also annihilated, his body breaking apart.

The moment the general was killed, the entire giant that seemed capable of covering the heavens and wreck continents crumbled, and the million Black Devil soldiers were all struck by the backlash, spitting out blood and suffering grievous injuries.

At that moment, Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly and ignited the atmospheric energy to transform into a terrifying tornado of wind blades, sweeping up the Black Devil Clan soldiers.

Under the assault of the violent wind blades, the entire sky started pouring with blood, as pieces of flesh splattered on the ground.

Countless life energy swarmed into Yue Zhong.

Seeing how Yue Zhong wiped out the million-strong group of Black Devil warriors, Azaman, who had been treating it lightly, as though everything was a joke, finally had a serious look, as he muttered, "Strong!!"

Annie and the rest were also filled with shock, as though their hearts and minds were rocked.

The Black Devil giant might not be a true half-step Type 9 powerhouse, but it possessed enough strength to deal with a human Holy Son. Such an entity was dealt with so easily by Yue Zhong, it just showed how powerful Yue Zhong was.

Bianna had a complicated look as she spoke, "A person who could cause the howling dragon and roaring tiger phenomenon is truly not simple!"

This time, the other 3 did not say anything to refute her, or anything sarcastic, as their eyes were filled with a look of acknowledgment without them knowing.

As for the rest of the Type 8 generals within the fleet saw the situation, their faces fell as they hollered out, "Retreat!! Retreat now!!"

Hearing that order from the Black Devil general, the remaining ships quickly spread out in a bid to flee.

After all, there was no force within this fleet that could take on Yue Zhong. Thus, they had made the right choice in fleeing.

"You want to run? Stay behind for me!"

Yue Zhong eyed the fleeing ships, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. With a grab out at thin air, 2 huge hands made out of energy closed in on the last 2 ships, pulling them back.

With a loud rumble, the 2 battleships were forced to an abrupt halt.

At that moment, Yue Zhong shot towards the huge battleship, his fists pummeling down and shattering the energy shield. He then passed through it easily.

Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!

After a series of explosions, the battleship began to burst apart from within and descended towards the ground in a huge ball of fire.

Yue Zhong then continued to slam into the other battleship like a meteor, destroying it from within.

By the time Yue Zhong was done with those 2 ships, the other 9 battleships had fled till nothing could be seen of them.

Each battleship represented a huge source of power, if Yue Zhong had tried to spread out his strength, he would not have been able to retain even a single ship.

Right at this time, Bianna suddenly flew out in front of Yue Zhong and laughed, "Yue Zhong, truly formidable."

Bi Feng came and motioned for them to continue, "Let's go, our target is the Merlot Battlefield."

Azaman revealed a smile, as he followed, "That's right, you're strong!"

Annie also nodded slightly, before flying off.

Having witnessed his strength, the 4 of them had already come to view Yue Zhong as an equivalent existence, and not disdain him just because of his identity.

Before this, they had already known of the commotion he caused with the image triggered. However, as old-timers, they had their own pride and were not able to view Yue Zhong as equal.

However, Yue Zhong had shown them what he was capable of, and they had no choice but to acknowledge it.

With a light laugh, Yue Zhong followed after. However, he was scanning his storage ring, checking out a blue crystal key with some doubt in his mind, "What treasure is this, why would the network not possess any information on this?"

This item had been picked up when he was destroying the 2nd battleship and discovered it within a jade box. In fact, there had been a Type 8 powerhouse guarding it. Unfortunately for the guard, Yue Zhong had killed him in one punch. The moment he obtained this key, he had checked the network for information, only to be met with nothing. This caused him to be even more sure that this crystal key that was emitting some strange aura, was a precious treasure. However, he just did not know what it was.

He then threw it to the back of his mind, "Forget it, let's wait till we're back before I check it out properly."

In the distance, the remaining 9 Battleships had fled a distance of thousands of kilometers, before gathering once more.

At this time, a powerful, mechanical planet of over a hundred kilometers in diameter descended in front of the 9 Battleships.

A terrifying voice filled with pressure traveled out, "Hei Chi, did you get the item?"

One Black Devil general of the Type 8 realm shot out from the battleships, kneeling on the ground as he trembled and reported, "Answering your Highness Holy Son Anchaman, the item was snatched away by a human powerhouse."

The Black Devil general opened his palm, and a green light shot through the skies, forming an image of Yue Zhong clashing with their forces, "This is the image we obtained."

From the mechanical planet, a handsome youth stepped out, his forehead bearing a pair of goat horns, a pair of demonic wings on his back, and his entire body covered in black scales. However, he had a full head of hair and incredibly good looks. This was the one of the Holy Sons of the 10,000-Devil Altar, Holy Son Anchaman.

When he flew out, he was followed by a number of powerhouses also emitting terrifying pressures. There were a total of 6 of them, each of them possessing strength not lesser than that of a Holy Son.

These were the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the 10,000-Devil Altar, each of them with extraordinary looks and aura.

Anchaman looked quietly at the image, before his voice turned icy, "Since the item was lost, how did you come back alive?"

General Hei Chi heard that voice filled with killing intent, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He began to kowtow profusely, "Your Highness, I wanted to preserve the lives of our hundreds and thousands of soldiers, hence I brought them back. I plead for your Highness to show me mercy, on account that I had preserved our forces!"

Within the Devil Race, there were many powerful experts, Hei Chi was just an initial-Type 8 realm expert, and was much weaker than Anchaman. Furthermore, he did not complete his mission, thus, Anchaman had full authority to execute him.

There was a savage look in Anchaman's eyes, as he flickered in front of general Hei Chi, his claws grabbing out at his head, and he took a vicious bite out of his head, "You spoiled my matters, and dare to ask for mercy?! Naive!! Go to hell!!"

The Black Devil Clan was a cruel race, even they looked similar to humans, they were much more vicious and frequently engaged in slaughter and in-fighting.

With a shudder of his body, general Hei Chi's last moments was watching his head being bitten by Anchaman, as he died and crumple to the ground.

Beside Anchaman, there was a beautiful lady with fair skin and a revealing figure, who looked at Hei Chi's corpse with some pity, "Damn it, Anchaman, why didn't you give him to him and let me play around first?"

Anchaman licked the blood off his right hand, while his mouth was still smeared with brain matter, as he grinned deviously, "Yao Ji, if I pass him to you, there would be a stench. Furthermore, you'll just suck him dry, there would be nothing left of him to eat."

One Holy Son, standing at 3 meters, his body muscular, his visage demonic and his tail one that was sharp like a blade, frowned. He was from the Blade Demon Race, the Holy Son Blade Thirteen, and he spoke, "Anchaman, since that item had been stolen, what's our next step?"

Anchaman's eyes flashed with an intelligent look, as he quickly analyzed, "From the movement of that human, he does not know that the item is a secret. Few human experts would come out to the barren wastelands, thus, the only reason he should be here would be to temper himself in the Merlot Battlefield. We just have to head there and we should come across him. Furthermore, even if we do not see him, we need to train there anyway. Our next step would be the Merlot Battlefield then."

"Fine!" The rest of the Holy Sons and Daughters replied and quickly flew back into the mechanical planet.

The mechanical planet then soared up into the skies, before emitting powerful bursts of air, pushing its speed to Mach-30, tearing apart the air in front of it as it shot towards the Merlot Battlefield.

Report chapter

The Merlot Battleground had been around thousands of years ago when true God-realm powerhouses ruled the Great God World. It was an ancient battlefield that had formed naturally within the Merlot Mountain Range. Within this battlefield, there were many spiritual imprints, weapons, undying spirits, spatial tears, and it was full of danger.

Even a Type 9 powerhouse might perish if he or she was not careful.

However, it was also a place of opportunities, in fact, many Type 9 powerhouses had come here when they were still at the Type 8 realm, going through the baptism of the Merlot Battlefield, and obtained many treasures or benefits from the things left behind here. That was how they broke through to the Type 9 stage.

One of the main reasons why the Great God World was able to churn out so many Type 9 powerhouses, was because that there were many secret realms and ancient battlefields left behind from the experts of past, allowing the current generation to benefit from the spiritual wills and imprints.

Furthermore, inside this Merlot Battlefield, there were frequent appearances of Gold-grade Treasures, which would cause anyone to go crazy over.

In front of the battlefield, Bi Feng stopped once more, and could not help but reiterated himself, "This is the Merlot Battlefield. Once we enter, we have to be careful. Not only are there experts from the other 3 main races, but there are also countless Mutant Beasts, Ferocious Beasts, and even Undying Devil Spirits. Even if we meet another human, they might not necessarily be our allies or friends, especially if we find any treasures."

Yue Zhong looked towards the Merlot Battlefield, his heart feeling a chill, "This is truly a dangerous place. I can vaguely sense a threatening level of danger. If I'm not careful, I might perish her."

The location of the battlefield was in a vast place where one could not see the end, as though the entire world was shrouded in mist and extended all the way to the clouds.

Currently, the mountain range had been destroyed by some unknown force in the past, turning into multiple peaks, each still larger than the size of China.

There was a chaotic surge of energy within the mountain range. Since Yue Zhong had developed the God-Devil Eye, if there were no obstructions, he could easily see over a 1000 li away. However, when he looked out at the direction of the Merlot Battlefield, he could only see the outskirts, and everything within was foggy.

All of a sudden, Bi Feng's face fell, as he sent out a spiritual wave, transmitting, "Hide!"

Hearing his words, Bianna's sent out a white cloth that wrapped the 4 of them, as they disappeared from their location.

Not long after, 30 individuals soared through the sky. They were 4m-long, each of them possessing a human-like head, but with green features and long canines. They had a pair of wings on their backs and a singular horn on their forehead. Around their necks, they hung necklaces formed from skulls. These were experts from the Green-faced Ghost Clan.

The Green-faced Ghosts were also a race under the Man-Eating Races, they came like the wind, flying freely wherever they liked, and hunt humans everywhere they went. They were even harder to deal with compared to the Man-eating Giants. They were capable of flight, and their speed was just slightly below Mutant Beasts of the same level, but above everyone else. Even if they could not defeat their enemies, they could choose to fly away. The moment their enemies let down their guards, they would quickly swoop in for the kill.

The 30 Green-faced Ghosts emitted a terrifying aura, they were all at the Type 8 realm, of which, 10 of them seemed even stronger than a human Holy Son.

As Yue Zhong stared at them, his eyes brightened up. If he could take down all of them, he could gain a huge increase in his strength.

Type 8 powerhouses were not easy to come across. Within the Holy Sirius Empire, there was only one like George. Furthermore, Yue Zhong was not willing to slaughter other human powerhouses for no reason, otherwise, he would also be ostracized by the Holy Heavens and would have nowhere to go within the Great God World.

Whereas in the various secret realms, there were many Type 8 Mutant Beasts. However, behind these beasts were powerful Type 9 existences guarding them. If he killed one or two, it would not be an issue, but if he were to go on a massacre, then the Type 9 powerhouses would not let him off.

However, there was no hidden danger in dealing with these Green-faced Ghosts. Among the tasks that Yue Zhong had accepted, there was the requirement of hunting enemy forces, Man-eating Races as well as Devils.

Looking at the Ghosts, Yue Zhong opened up his ring noiselessly, causing many dust-sized nanobots to fly out and follow the Green-faced Ghosts.

Among the 4 races, the Mutant Beasts occupied the most territories and were the most numerous. However, it was obvious that these were scattered. They also seldom engaged in a mindless slaughter of the humans they come across.

One of the Green-faced Ghosts faced their most burly member, opening his mouth to ask, "Ye Cha Ghost, is your intelligence accurate?"

Ye Cha Ghost revealed a savage grin, "Of course, not too long ago, there were easily 30 and more human Holy Sons that entered the Merlot Battlefield. Furthermore, there were others that joined in. Right now, the total number of human cultivators within is over 60, and they're there for us to hunt!"

One other Green-faced Ghost stuck out his tongue to lick it, while smiling viciously, "That's great! 60 Holy Sons, I can already smell their flesh! The previous time, when I had crushed the bone of the human Holy Daughter, her despair and expression of pain were so enticing!"

Another Green-faced Ghost frowned, "However, 60 of them is not weak. If they join forces, we might not be a match for them."

One laughed lightly, "Don't worry, humans usually go in groups of 4. Furthermore, within the Merlot Battlefield, it's not easy for them to sense one another. By the time they react, we would have gained the advantage. At that time, we're free to kill or leave, why should we be afraid?"

Ye Cha Ghost laughed, flapping his wings and charged into the battlefield, "Haha! Let's go!"

The rest also quickly flapped the wings and entered.

When all of the Green-faced Ghosts disappeared into the Merlot Battlefield, the white sash came down, revealing Yue Zhong and the rest. Other than Yue Zhong, the rest had ugly expressions.

Bianna frowned, "What do we do? The network does not reach inside, we have no way of informing those fellows within."

The Holy Heavens network was extensive and could reach many places. However, due to the residual power of the True Gods of the past and spiritual imprints, the network could not penetrate the Merlot Battlefield.

Bi Feng declared, "It is not something that we can handle, we have to go back and report this. Let the higher-ups deal with this."

30 Green-faced Ghosts, with 10 among them possessing Holy Son-level strength. With such a group, even Bi Feng would not be able to handle at his peak-Type 8 strength.

The rest also nodded quietly, they might be proud of their strength, but they were clear that sometimes, retreat is the right strategy.

"Why not we do it like this, you guys retreat, I'll go in and check it out." Yue Zhong laughed lightly, and suggested, "I have a method that can hide my aura and presence. As long as I employ that technique, it would be hard for them to discover me."

Bi Feng frowned, "The Green-faced Ghosts have an ability through their horns, that can allow them to break past many illusions and stealth techniques. Knowing this, do you still want to go?"

Yue Zhong was resolute, "Yes!"

They were an important source of evolution for Yue Zhong, he naturally wanted to hunt them down.

Right at this time, Annie also spoke up coldly, "I'll follow you then!"

The rest shot her a bewildered glance. They were clear that among them, her strength was not at the peak, if she got herself entangled with the Green-faced Ghosts, she would likely be in danger.

Under their shocked gazes, Annie spoke coldly, "Within the Holy Heavens, I might not be the strongest, but my abilities in life-preservation and support can be considered in the top 10. I can cover you."

"Fine! In that case, come with me!"

Yue Zhong laughed, and in a flash, he had charged through into the Merlot Battlefield.

Annie's figure also turned hazy and disappeared mysteriously, entering the Battlefield.

Bi Feng stared at them, his fists clenched tight and there was a strange glint in his eyes. He wanted to enter as well and fight it out with the Green-faced Ghosts. However, his rationale told him that there was a 90% chance of death.

Azaman looked at the Merlot Battlefield with a complicated gaze, "Let's go!"

Bi Feng fell silent, before turning around and soared away.

Not long after they left, a huge meteor descended from the skies, landing right outside the Merlot Battlefield, revealing a huge mechanical planet. A number of peak experts from the Black Devil Clan flew out and shot into the Battlefield as well.

When they had all entered, the planet soared up and disappeared, coming and going like the wind.

It was too dangerous inside the Merlot Battlefield for the mechanical planet to enter. It would likely be torn apart by the countless undying spirits within.

Inside the Merlot Battlefield, there were all sorts of strange energies clashing and mixing with one another. The moment Yue Zhong entered the place, he could sense as though he had emerged in a different world, with different rules and law. He turned around, and could no longer see the path he came from, nor Annie who had entered with him.

All of a sudden, a strange piece of white jade engraved with runes landed on his hands. As he grabbed it, he could sense Annie's aura, as a message transmitted directly through it, "This is a jade token. With it, you can sense my location, and can even use it to communicate. It would not cause any spiritual fluctuations or energy reverberations. If there's nothing, try not to contact me."

Yue Zhong laughed lightly, and kept the token. The next moment, he waved his hands and donned on the Stealth Armor.

At the moment he put it on, he disappeared entirely, without a single trace of his presence, causing the invisible Annie beside him to be shocked as well, "He truly has extraordinary methods. Without the jade token, I would not be able to tell where he was. No wonder he has such confidence to hunt them down! However, even if he has the stealth, can he cope with the combat?"

"I wonder if the Merlot Battlefield would affect those nanobugs of mine. Those are precious tracking devices from the Mech Kingdom, if they're destroyed, it would be problematic!"

Yue Zhong glanced at his watch, and noticed that there was still an update on the location of the bugs.

"Got it!"

Yue Zhong then zeroed in on their location, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile, and he quickly shot towards them.

Within the Merlot Battlefield, under the terrifying strength of the True Gods of the past, regions had been carved out, but their energies were relatively stable. Within each area, a unique biological system had emerged and thrived, housing numerous life forms.

Inside a mountain range, 3 men and 1 women were standing at the precipice, looking within, their eyes filled with wild joy.

One of them, a young man with golden hair and blue eyes, decked in white-silver armor and a huge broadsword on his back, spoke up in excitement, "This is the fluctuation of a True God's will!! This is great, it will be a perfect cultivation ground for our wills. As long as we can withstand the pressure and comprehend the lingering will left behind, we could forge our wills and when we break through to the Type 9 realm in the future, it would be beneficial to our foundations!"

Another small and scrawny man who stood only at 1.42m, looking like a small kid, chuckled, "Our luc is pretty good, to be able to come across this stable True God's will. If it was too wild, we would be unable to utilize it, in fact, we might die under the might. Such a stable area is truly getting rare."

The only woman of the group, who had 2 ponytails and an ordinary figure, wielding a huge sword on her back as well, looked towards the lead male with a hint of fervor, "This is all due to Maruf. If he did not insist on checking this area, we would not have discovered this location."

At this moment, the last male, who had been keeping silent all this time while surveying the environment warily shouted out with a crestfallen expression, "Watch out!!"

Right after he shouted, he had already waved his hands and caused a number of energy shields to appear. At the same time, he had pulled out a round mechanical plate, tossing it to form a huge mechanical wall to protect them.

At that moment, the 30 Green-faced Ghosts appeared in a flash, and slammed into the mechanical barrier viciously.

With a loud bang, the mechanical barrier collapsed, not even slowing them down in the slightest.

The defense of the barrier was supposed to be shocking, capable of withstanding even the strikes of a peak-Type 8 powerhouse. However, with the joint efforts of the 30 Green-faced Ghosts, their combined might was terrifying enough to destroy the barrier.

"Haha, go to hell!"

The leader, Ye Cha Ghost, had laughed out savagely the moment the barrier was crushed, and reached out to grab the Holy Son who had thrown out the plate, and squeezed viciously.

"Ah!!!"

The Holy Son screamed out in agony, as blood poured out of all his orifices, every single bone and organ within him crushed. There was an intense look of pain, suffering, and despair at the moment of his death.

"Good, good! This is the expression, it's just too savoury!!" Ye Cha Ghost cackled, and tossed the corpse into his mouth, his sharp teeth closing down and gibbled up the Holy Son.

The short and scrawny Holy Son screamed out in fear, as he was grabbed by 2 of the Green-faced Ghosts, "No!!!"

The 2 Ghosts grinned evilly and grabbed him at one end each, before tugging with all their might, directly tearing the Holy Son in two.

At the moment the small Holy Son was killed, another 2 Green-faced Ghosts flew out, and gobbled up his spine.

Maruf was the only peak-Type 8 powerhouse within this group, and due to the blockade of the other 2, he had gained some time to react, as he waved his hands and 36 golden pearls appeared.

The moment the 36 pearls materialized, and released a powerful radiance that enveloped Maruf.

This particular treasure was called the 36-Scorpio Golden Protection. Among the Human Race, it was the strongest defensive treasure. Once activated, even a half-step Type 9 powerhouse would not be able to break it in a short time.

As the Green-faced Ghosts continued to slam into the shield, it only served to create temporary dents, and there did not seem to be any way they could break through in the short future.

Water Domain!

The eyes of the lady narrowed, as she activated her trump card, causing powerful water bodies to gush out from her, wrapping the surroundings.

"Domain? Do you think that only you humans know Domains? Break for me!"

One of the Holy Son-grade Green-faced Ghosts had a vicious look, as he roared out with mad laughter and emitted a powerful Ruthless Domain, that was shrouded in red, which slammed into the Holy Daughter's Water Domain.

At that moment, 5 others also laughed, and revealed another 5 Ruthless Domains, slamming the Water Domain viciously.

Wth 6 powerful domains assaulting the Water Domain of an equal level, it did not take long for the Water Domain to be obliterated completely.

Just as the domain collapsed, one Green-faced Ghost shot forward to the chance and seize the Holy Daughter when she was defenseless, and gripped her tightly.

She revealed a look of despair as she screamed, the majority of her bones already broken, "AH!!!! Save me!!! Maruf!! Save me!!"

Maruf took a look at the Holy Daughter who had always held him in high regard, Xiangma Hui, and his eyes turned red, releasing a roar that sounded like a wounded beast, "Damn bastards!!! Xiao Hui!!! Bastards!!!"

However, while the 36-Scorpio Golden Protection had an amazing defense, the person within was also considered trapped, unable to move to save or attack anyone. This was a sort of last-resort, if Maruf had not been forced to the edge, he would not have used this. Once utilized, he could not save his friends or comrades.

The Green-faced Ghost grabbing Xiangma Hui looked at the struggling Holy Daughter, and he revealed a cruel smile, opening his jaws and was about to bite down.

The lower half of Xiangma Hui's body had been crushed, her domain broken, and her strength already 90% sapped. There was no way she could defend herself, and as she stared at the incoming jaws, her eyes were filled with despair, her tears and snot flowing as she sobbed, "No!! No!!! Save me!! Somebody!!"

Peng!

As the Green-faced Ghost was about to swallow Xiangma Hui, his head suddenly exploded as though he was struck by a huge hammer of over a billion tonnes. Red and white matter, as well as its ugly countenance was blasted to the side.

The death of that Green-faced Ghost seemed to be trigger a chain-effect, as the Green-faced Ghosts beside him also had their heads blasted apart. In just a few breaths, 4 of them had died mysteriously.

With their deaths, the strongest among them, Ye Cha Ghost, had a fearful countenance as he roared, "Enemy attack!! There's an enemy here!!! He's in stealth, and is very strong!! Watch out!!"

As Ye Cha Ghost screamed out the warning, an incredibly vast domain suddenly shrouded the entire area, as the Devil Domain appeared and suppressed the remaining 26 Green-faced Ghosts.

Within the domain, numerous devils pounced onto the 26 Ghosts, devouring their body, as the thick Devil Qi also began invading their bodies, preventing them from moving.

Yue Zhong himself was like a fish in water within the domain, flickering and teleporting on top of each of the Ghosts, bursting their heads with a single punch.

Yue Zhong had locked down on these weak Green-faced Ghosts, in front of him, they were helpless, and could only be killed. Within a breath's time, 10 of them had their heads exploded, their life force absorbed cleanly by Yue Zhong.

6 others were also torn apart by the Devils within the Devil Domain.

As Yue Zhong continued to grow stronger, the God-Devil Domain of his also continued increase in strength.

The remaining 10 Green-faced Ghosts were all shocked and furious, each of them channeling their Domains, as the powerful Ruthless Domains appeared, smashing within the Devil Domain in a bid to break out.

The powerful and violent energy surged, clashing against Yue Zhong's Devil Domain as both sides continued to wear each other down.

"It's useless!! Accept your deaths obediently!"

At that moment, Yue Zhong charged up to one of the Ruthless Domains, his fist obliterating everything in his path, slamming into the body of that Green-faced Ghost.

A powerful might exploded forth, tearing the Green-faced Ghost apart, and the flesh and blood were directly consumed by the devilish manifestations, becoming their nourishment.

Ye Cha Ghost roared out in rage, slamming the Devil Domain with all his might, "Gather!! Only when we combine, we can kill this freak!!"

Inside the Devil Domain, sound, spirit, and wills could not be transmitted. They could only rely on their utmost strength to scatter some of their devil-energy, to communicate with their allies.

It was because this God-Devil Domain was so heaven-defying, that Yue Zhong had the confidence to deal with all 30 of them.

"Combine? No chance!! Die!!" Yue Zhong walked out of thin air and sent a fist towards Ye Cha Ghost.

"You're still far off from being able to kill me!! Green Ghost Transformation!!"

There was a fierce glint in Ye Cha Ghost's eyes, as his body began to convulse, and his muscles and bones began to transform at a visible pace, becoming stronger and thicker. At the same time, there was a metallic luster coursing through his arms. He sent out a punch, meeting Yue Zhong's.

The Green Ghost Transformation was a secret art of the Green-faced Ghost Clan, after executing this art, Ye Cha Ghost's physique could become 5 times as powerful. His fist would be no less than 30 times as powerful.

"Impossible!!! How could a human's physique be so strong?! You're just a Type 8 powerhouse, how could you be so strong?!" With a loud explosion, Ye Cha Ghost's right fist was obliterated by Yue Zhong's and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying, while his eyes were filled with shock.

Yue Zhong was also knocked back. However, he had just flown a few meters, when he disappeared and reappeared behind Ye Cha Ghost, sending another fist at his back.

Inside this Devil Domain, Yue Zhong could will it and teleport anywhere. It was almost an invincible area for him.

At that moment, Ye Cha Ghost's body glowed brightly, and a green shield appeared over his body. In his right hands, he even held a C3-Grade protection.

Yue Zhong's fist slammed into the shield, and a terrifying force exploded out, destroying the shield completely.

When the C3-Grade shield was destroyed, there was a hint of madness in Ye Cha Ghost's eyes, "Human! Don't kill me!! I know the position of a treasury in this Merlot Battlefield!! Let me and my people off, I'll tell you where it is!!"

"As long as you become my puppet, everything of yours will become mine!"

Yue Zhong did not waste time on any bullshit, as he stepped out and appeared in front of Ye Cha Ghost, grabbing his head in a claw-like grip. With a cold laugh, he knocked him out, the terrifying strength surging through Ye Cha Ghost's head.

At the same time that the Ye Cha Ghost was knocked out, a Type 8 Puppet Rune was sent into his head, turning Ye Cha Ghost into a puppet.

With his death, although the remaining Green-faced Ghosts were still trying to escape, Yue Zhong took them out one by one.

Not long after, the Devil Domain was retracted into Yue Zhong's body, leaving only Ye Cha Ghost kneeling in front of Yue Zhong to express his loyalty.

Annie was hidden in a corner, and she witnessed how Yue Zhong had dealt with 30 Green-faced Ghosts, her heart full of shock, "Strong!! How could he be this formidable?! To actually clear 30 Green-faced Ghosts?! Even if it was a sneak attack, isn't such strength too shocking?! Only those Holy Sons at the half-step Type 9 stage would be a match for him!!"

In a battle, a sneak attack would give a preemptive advantage. Yue Zhong relied on it to launch the Devil Domain on them, that was how he kept them apart and took them out one by one.

Had they been prepared and stuck together, then even a half-step Type 9 powerhouse might not be able to take them out so quickly.

Even so, it proved Yue Zhong's overbearing might.

Yue Zhong could sense the atmospheric energy within him coursing through his body, and he grinned, with a hint of excitement, "Not bad. The life force from those 29 Type 8 Green-faced Ghosts helped increase the energy within me. However, I still need much more to reach the peak of the Type 8 realm."

Currently, the half-crippled Xiangma Hui looked at Yue Zhong, pleading bitterly, "Save me!! Save me!"

With her whole body crushed, had it been anyone else, they would have died. However, a Type 8 powerhouse could be said to be near the peak of the power chain, their life force strong, hence, even if she was crippled, she would not die so fast."

Maruf stared at Yue Zhong and said, "Brother, please save me. I'm Holy Son Maruf from the Southern Temple, and she is Xiangma Hui of the Eastern Temple. As long as you save her, we will repay you in the future."

"I'm Divine Envoy Yue Zhong from the Central Temple. As humans, I will definitely help her." Yue Zhong sent a yellow vial of liquid into her mouth.

She quickly opened her mouth and swallowed it. The moment the liquid coursed through her body, there were loud cracking sounds, as her broken bones and organs were recovering at a visible rate.

Soon, she leaped to her feet and thanked Yue Zhong with gratitude. "Thank you!!"

The technology of the Great God World was incredibly advanced, even more so than the Mech Kingdom. No matter the injury, with the right medicine, one could recover quickly. Only those attacks with wills imbued or laws within them would be tough to deal with. Many powerhouses had to carry such injuries throughout their lives once struck with such afflictions. Their strength cut down over time, and in the end, perishing.

Xiangma Hui pointed to the chasm and spoke, "Yue Zhong, there's a will imprint of a True God within, you can go down and try cultivating."

When Maruf heard this, his brows furrowed, but he soon regained his composure and did not say anything.

"Sure!"

Without standing on ceremony, his figure disappeared into the chasm.

Xiangma Hui looked at Maruf within the 36-Scorpio Golden Protection, her gaze complicated.

She knew the function of the 36-Scorpio Golden Protection, once used, it meant that Maruf had already treated his life as important and had abandoned her. Her love and awe for him had been doused in a bucket of cold water, and it was no longer the same.

Xiangma Hui did not say much, as she just turned around and chased after Yue Zhong.

Seeing her leaving back, Maruf's face changed multiple times, as he eyed the 36-Scorpio Golden Protection, not knowing what to think.

When Yue Zhong arrived on the mountain, he could feel an overbearing pressure, seemingly capable of suppressing the entire world, lingering in the atmosphere. Before this lingering will, he was like a small ant.

Compared to this powerful will, the Type 9 9-headed Dragonhawk that Yue Zhong came across the other time was not even worth mentioning.

Yue Zhong sensed the will capable of covering the entire world, and his eyes lit up in a pleasant surprise, "What a powerful will!!"

Currently, after Yue Zhong had experienced that battle, he had already comprehended the usage of will. He was hoping to temper his own will as well since it would benefit him when he was stepping into the half-Type 9 realm.

Feeling the powerful will, Yue Zhong steeled himself and walked steadily into the inner mountain, and with each step, the pressure increased.

Not too long after, Xiangma Hui also flew into the chasm, resisting the effects of the will as she walked further into temper her own will.

In the Great God World, it was a constant battle to reach the top. That was the cruel reality of the world. Even a female cultivator would constantly train herself given the chance, to become a true expert.

Yue Zhong's evolved God-Devil Body was the most perfect physique and strongest of the God-level physiques. It represented the peak of the 800 worlds and empowered the owner to have high comprehension talent. Not only could Yue Zhong sense the will, but he was also able to feel a hidden, unyielding aura, as well as other strange powers.

As he sensed it and absorbed the will in order to temper his understanding towards the laws and principles, Yue Zhong's speed became even slower.

Not long after, Maruf also chased up, and he did not say anything, before charging right into the narrow tunnel containing the terrifying will.

Resisting the will, Maruf continued to soar forward, surpassing Yue Zhong's speed.

When he passed by Yue Zhong, he shot him a look, revealing a self-confident smile, "Seems like your will isn't strong. Although your combat power is strong, a person with a weak will would never be able to become a Type 9 powerhouse. I will surpass you in the future."

Following the passage of time, the 3 of them traversed further and further down the path.

When Xiangma Hui reached the 200m-mark, her face turned pale, and she crumpled to the floor, gasping for air while her eyes were filled with shock.

Maruf also started turning pale the moment he crossed the 200m mark. It was no longer as easy to continue, each step as heavy as though a mountain was pressing down on him. He struggled for another 30m before his body buckled and he stuck to the floor, with no way to move.

While gasping for air, he braved a throbbing headache and retreated step by step, "So terrifying, this is a will of a True God expert. And to think that this is a relatively calm and stable one. If it had been filled with any killing intent, it would have done me in the first instance. A True God expert is too terrifying."

As he was crawling back, the sounds of steady footsteps sounded from behind.

Maruf turned to look and noticed Yue Zhong progressing slowly but steadily over.

He continued to walk casually, soon passing Xiangma Hui and did not look like he was going to stop. Under Maruf's envious gaze, he continued forward, surpassing Maruf in a relaxed manner.

Maruf saw how easily Yue Zhong went pass him and was filled with jealousy. At the same time, what he hated more was that Yue Zhong did not even look at him from the start till the end, as though he had never placed him in his eyes, not treating him as competition, "Damn it!! How is his will so strong as well?"

Annie, who had been hiding all this while, eyed Yue Zhong's back with shock in her eyes, "Strong! His will is really terrifying as well. Truly a talent that is capable of triggering the tiger and dragon image."

Annie could only walk up to a location about 170m in and had no choice but to stay back. She could sense that her strength was enough to get her to the 180m-mark, but still far from comparable to Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong maintained his rhythm, and when he passed the 300m mark, he finally felt some form of pressure. When he reached the 360m, an overbearing pressure weighed down on him, slamming into his will like a storm.

Under the torrential assault, Yue Zhong's face turned pale, his back breaking out in sweat, and it looked as though he had just come out from the sea.

Yue Zhong shut his eyes and focused on his avatar within his sea of consciousness.

The attacking will appeared within Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness, forming into a humanoid character decked in golden armor, his features sharp and saintly, emitting the aura of a ruler of life and death.

He stared at Yue Zhong in disdain, declaring contemptuously, "Despicable ant!! Kneel, and submit, and I shall grant you eternal life and endless glory!!"

With those words, there was a feeling that rose up in Yue Zhong's mind, as though he was an ordinary beggar, looking up at a majestic emperor, and he was filled with fear and awe. It was as though that the True God expert was a natural ruler, and he did not need to consider further about expressing his fealty.

"NO! I CANNOT KNEEL!"

Just as he was about to get to his knees, his inner-self roared out in fury and shook him back to clarity.

Before the apocalypse, he had been an ordinary person, his biggest dream was to open a medium-sized enterprise with his close buddies, living a comfortable and secure life. Even if he had to bow to authority or bigger powers, he could only accept it helplessly.

However, throughout the apocalypse, he had been through so many battles, and slowly reached this stage. He had already transformed, from a nobody, into a ruler and an expert. He could sense that the moment he bowed to this True God expert, then from this moment on, even if he reached the True God stage with his God-Devil Body, he would be doomed never to advance further in his cultivation.

"You're already a dead man, the dead should go back to their graves. Let me send you back there!!"

Inside Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness, the small avatar of Yue Zhong suddenly grew larger, and let out a powerful roar, filled with strength and he emitted a powerful combat intent while charging at the True God expert.

The True God expert saw Yue Zhong charging over, and his face fell while roaring out, "Audacious! You dare to antagonize the might of a True God?! Break for me!!"

Under that ordinary finger, all things in the universe seemed to be sucked into him and began to press down upon Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong's body was immediately crushed and destroyed by that pressure.

However, just as that avatar disintegrated, another one of him appeared within the sea of consciousness. As it appeared, he charged towards the True God expert once more, utilizing his strongest technique in his arsenal, the Yin-Yang palm, "This is my consciousness, as long as my will is not eradicated, I will keep reviving in here! Whereas you're just a lingering will!! Your strength will diminish over time, and you will be ground away by me!! Just accept your death obediently and be a part of me!"

"Wishful thinking! Lowly existence, even if I'm just a will, I'm enough to wipe you out. You might be undying in here, but each time your avatar gets crushed, the pain should be intense and wrecks you!! When you aren't able to hold out, it will be when your will is crushed and you will die!!"

The True God expert laughed coldly, and fired another finger, causing the pressure of the universe to weigh down and meet Yue Zhong's Yin-Yang Palm, destroying it as well as the avatar in the process.

The Yin-Yang Palm might be extremely powerful, it was still a technique derived by a Type 7 powerhouse. While it was useful against others, it was definitely not as effective against a True God expert. It felt like the entire universe was suppressing him.

Inside the sea of consciousness, Yue Zhong's avatar appeared, again and again, charging at the True God expert with his Yin-Yang Palm once more.

The expert just continued to point out with his Cosmic Finger, crushing Yue Zhong each time.

The fight in Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness affected his true body, as he laid crumpled on the ground, rolling around in agony, while his face was contorted with pain.

Each time he gets annihilated, it felt like he had just been through a car crash. If it was not for his resolute will, and the intense desire to live, he would have died long ago.

However, at the same time, while his avatar kept being crushed, in the process of reforming, his will became stronger.

At the same time, the lingering will became weaker as time passed, after all, he was not a True God expert, but just a residual intent.

"Break for me!"

As Yue Zhong was destroyed for the hundredth time, he directly condensed a Cosmic Finger, pointing it at the True God expert as the power of the universe surged into this attack of his.

The gaze of the True God expert was as cold and pointed out with his own Cosmic Finger.

The 2 powerful universes clashed, and the resulting force caused the avatar of Yue Zhong to crumble once more.

The True God expert's avatar was also rocked until he lost an arm, which transformed into countless motes of light, spreading within Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness.

Inside the sea of consciousness, Yue Zhong's avatar had gained the advantage, absorbing the bits and pieces of the True God expert's will, reforming swiftly once more.

This time, the reformed avatar of Yue Zhong possessed a sliver of saintly and majestic aura, exuding a powerful bearing.

As for the True God expert's avatar, while it still seemed as imposing as ever, its aura was weaker, and within Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness, as long as Yue Zhong's will was indomitable, and kept reforming, the True God expert was at a disadvantage, since he could not reform. How much he expended was how much he lost.

"This time, break for me!!"

There was a look of confidence in Yue Zhong's eyes, as he fired out the Cosmic Finger once more, pressuring the True God expert.

Even after losing the right arm, the True God expert continued to fire out another cosmic finger with his remaining arm.

The 2 forces clashed once more, but this time, the universe of the True God expert crumbled, while his body also broke down, and was absorbed by Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness.

After the avatar of the True God expert was obliterated, Yue Zhong's will and spirit underwent another round of baptism. With the tempering earlier, he had become stronger once more.

Making use of the God-Devil Imprint, he could absorb life force like nobody's business, evolving quickly. However, in terms of the will, he had to temper himself through the countless fights and battles. Before ascending to the Type 9 realm, there was no issue with this method.

In order to break through the Type 9 bottleneck, however, and to reach the legendary Type 10 realm, he had to possess an incredible amount of will. It did not matter if it was good or evil, there was only absolute strength. Only then could one break out of the cage to control his own destiny.

After obliterating the True God expert's will from his consciousness, Yue Zhong opened his eyes, revealing a sharper glint within them. With a thought, the fresh blood on his face disappeared. He stood up, and braving the pressure once more, he continued forward.

Since the avatar had been dealt with, the remaining will had no source, and while the pressure was still huge, it was unable to hold Yue Zhong back.

As he braved the pressure, Yue Zhong went further and deeper into the chasm, finally arriving at the deepest part of the mountain.

At the deepest part of the chasm, there was a stone with a remnant dark red color. From time to time, a strong will would diffuse out from it, adding on to the surrounding will.

Yue Zhong eyed the stone, sighing in his heart, "This should be the fresh blood of the True God expert. They cannot grow old and die, and have eternal youth, but they can still be killed by others. Seems like a True God expert is not the peak of evolution.

Yue Zhong had read up on the topic of will while in the Holy Heavens, and he reached out to grab the red stone.

When his hand came in contact with the red stone, a powerful will swarmed into his body and assaulted his sea of consciousness, forming the avatar of the True God expert once more.

The same scene appeared once again, as the armored True God expert shot Yue Zhong a disdainful look and ordered, "Despicable ant!! Kneel, and submit, and I shall grant you eternal life and endless glory!!"

This was just a lingering will of the True God expert, and could only react mechanically.

With a cold look in Yue Zhong's eyes, his avatar formed, and fired out a Cosmic Finger at the True God expert, "I've killed you once, I'll kill you again!"

The lingering will had no expression, as he immediately channeled the same Cosmic Finger at Yue Zhong.

Not long after, the lingering will was destroyed by a punch of Yue Zhong.

When the True God expert was destroyed by Yue Zhong, the dark red stone in his hands also crumbled and turned to dust.

When the stone crumbled, the pressure in the tunnel disappeared without a trace.

When Maruf felt the pressure disappear, he was filled with even more envy towards Yue Zhong, "He absorbed the will?! Damn it!! It would take at least 60 years for even a half-step Type 9 powerhouse to fully absorb the core of a True God expert! How could he do it so fast?! What a freak!!"

Annie eyed Yue Zhong from afar, with shock in her eyes, "Every single fellow who could trigger the phenomenon were truly heaven-defying talents. In just a day's time, he had actually finished consuming the will of the True God expert. His future potential is limitless. The legends are indeed true, with his capabilities, it is just a matter of time before he hits the Type 9 realm. With enough opportunities, it is not impossible for him to become a True God expert as well."

Originally, Annie was quite bitter about the fact that Yue Zhong had triggered that image, and thought that he was not necessarily her match. However, she could not help but acknowledge that the gulf between their strength was huge, and it would only grow bigger.

Ye Cha Ghost, who had been waiting at one side kneeled down, "Congratulations Master, for absorbing the will of this True God expert, from now on, your cultivation will be smooth. As long as you have gathered enough strength, you will be able to reach the half-step Type 9 realm. With additional space laws, you will become a true Type 9 powerhouse."

Yue Zhong opened his eyes, as 2 sharp gleams shot out from them, and his gaze was filled with power, causing Ye Cha Ghost to be slightly fearful of looking, "Ye Cha Ghost, was the treasury you spoke of real or fake? Where's the location?"

Ye Cha Ghost lowered his head and spoke respectfully, "Master, the treasury is real. Based on the information on hand, it is around this area. As for its exact location, I'm not too sure. However, based on the intel, there should be many entrances. There might even be one in this area."

Yue Zhong's heart shook, as he assessed the location, "Is it here?"

The location that the True God expert's will had been located was a flat land, and at a glance, there did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

"It's right here!" With a thought, his powerful perception stretched out and scanned the area, discovering a small corner where there was a ripple of space.

With a flash, Yue Zhong appeared in front of the corner, with a powerful tug, he tore a hole out of the space.

Yue Zhong looked at the space and frowned, giving an order to Ye Cha Ghost, "You go and test it out!"

In the Merlot Battlefield, the danger was everywhere, and Yue Zhong did not dare to walk around, thus he needed a guinea pig.

"Yes! Master!"

Ye Cha Ghost replied, and charged into the spatial tears.

In a few breaths, Ye Cha Ghost came back out, and reported, "Master, everything is normal over there, there's a lot of resources. It is definitely a treasure ground. From my intel, it should be the treasury."

When Yue Zhong heard this, his body flickered and he flew through the spatial tear.

Xiangma Hui, Maruf and Annie shot through after Yue Zhong.

Ye Cha Ghost was left at the entrance, acting as a protector.

The moment Yue Zhong stepped through, he went through the spatial tear and appeared on the other side.

The other side was a vast place, with no end in sight, and numerous mountains forming a mountain range.

All across the land, there were many precious herbs and grasses that were filled with spiritual energy, capable of transforming a person.

Xiangma Hui looked at a particular patch of red grasses, her eyes filled with heated passion as she charged up there. She grabbed it carefully and placed it in her storage bag, "This is the Divine Blood Grass, and legend has it that it is formed after absorbing a huge amount of blood from half-God powerhouses. It can help an expert of the Type 7 realm and above go through a metamorphosis. To Type 8 experts, it definitely is effective to a certain extent, each stalk is worth at least 10,000 contribution points. How could there be so many?"

Within the Holy Heavens, experts were numerous, and most of them had some spatial treasures. Many Holy Sons and Holy Daughters had their own spatial treasures.

Maruf looked at a particular tree in the distance, his eyes flashing with a strange glint as he charged over, "That's the Lightning Pearl Jade Fruit! It is particularly helpful for cultivators who trained in lighting-attribute arts! It only bears fruit every 3,000 years, and it's incredibly rare, to think that would be so many here?!"

Yue Zhong looked at Maruf dashing towards the Lightning Pearl Jade Fruit Tree, and he suddenly felt a bad premonition. He shouted, "Watch out!! Maruf!! Come back!!"

"Damn, after I obtain those fruits, I will have earned a fortune. Who would give a damn about you?"

Maruf did not stop when he heard Yue Zhong's warning, instead, he pushed his speed faster towards the Tree.

At that moment, the earth split open, and a huge hand covered with huge spikes burst out, grabbing Maruf with lightning speed.

"Bastard, break for me! Great Vanquishing Sword Finger!"

Maruf was also a powerhouse at the peak-Type 8 realm, facing such a situation, he roared out in rage and executed his secret technique. His entire being seemed to transform into an incredibly sharp sword. It seemed as though there was nothing he could not pierce, and he slashed out at the huge hand.

The Great Vanquishing Sword Finger was a top-tier technique, excelling in offense, and if a Type 9 powerhouse were to be struck by Maruf, he or she would also be greatly injured. With this technique, he had killed numerous experts.

At the moment that Maruf executed the skill, Yue Zhong did not even bother any further, as he flickered and fled towards the distance.

When Annie saw Yue Zhong's strange actions, her heart turned cold and she quickly followed, fleeing towards the distance.

Xiangma Hui was stunned, not knowing what to do.

At that moment, Maruf's huge sword slashed down on the huge hand covered in spikes and caused an earthshaking roar. A terrifying shockwave blasted outwards.

A terrifying scene full of despair then unfolded, as the sword that was capable of damaging even a Type 9 powerhouse could not slice into the hand, instead, it had cracked and was on the verge of breaking apart.

Maruf stared at the unharmed hand, his eyes filled with shock and fear, "Impossible!! How could there be such a monster in this world?!"

Inside the Great God World, the strongest existences were the Type 9 powerhouses. However, even they could not withstand Maruf's Great Vanquishing Sword Finger. Now, some mysterious hand that popped out from the ground was unaffected by it, causing him to feel shocked and fearful.

"Right… this is…!!"

A terrifying thought that flashed past his mind. At that moment, the huge hand grabbed out at him viciously, squeezing hard, and the sharp spikes drove deep into his body, while the immense strength squashed Maruf into minced meat.

"Maruf is dead!! This is an Undying Devil Spirit!! An Undying Devil Spirit!! I need to flee!! I need to flee!!"

Xiangma Hui watched Maruf being squashed to death and her heart was filled with fear, turning around to flee in panic.

At the moment she turned, the earth split apart, and a towering figure of over 20m, with countless spikes covering its body and a dense indomitable aura shrouding it. Its face was savage, and it exuded a terrifying bloodlust and killing intent as it emerged from the ground. This was the strongest, and most dangerous existence within the Merlot Battlefield, the Undying Devil Spirit.

These spirits were existences that had resulted in the battles of True God experts. They were condensed from the battle lust, killing intent and powerful laws. Having absorbed the constant anger, and hatred, and dark feelings, they only knew to eliminate all living things around them, absorbing their death energy as well as negative emotions at the point of death.

These Undying Devil Spirits had a hint of those True God experts' soul, thus, even half-step True God-level powerhouses without any Gold-grade weapons would not be able to deal with them. As for low-level Type 9 powerhouses, they simply posed no threat to these powerful existences. There were also different strengths to them, with the strongest being capable of eliminating a half-step True God powerhouse. Due to this, the Merlot Battlefield ground was largely a forbidden ground, where even half-step True-God experts would not dare be careless.

As the Undying Devil Spirit climbed out of the ground, it eyed the fleeing Xiangma Hui, and its eyes flashed with a vicious glint. It immediately leaped forward, closing the distance between them, and grabbed out at her.

Xiangma Hui was so frightened that her face turned ashen, and activated her Water Domain at the first moment, causing a large torrential water body to envelop her, while she disappeared from where she was.

Within the domain, she could transform into a drop of water, hiding among the body of water to escape.

The eyes of the Undying Devil Spirit turned cold, as 2 saintly beams shot out from its eyes, shining upon the Water Domain. It immediately caused anything of transformation to be revealed. Its right hand then shot out and tore through the domain, grabbing Xiangma Hui.

She began screaming while her strength was sealed by the Spirit, as her body trembled from the fear and despair, "No!!! Don't kill me!! I don't want to die!!"

The Undying Devil Spirit took a look at the pleading Xiangma Hui, and with a cruel flash of its eyes, its hands closed tightly.

With a loud 'pa', she was instantly squashed flat, turning into a pile of minced meat.

After killing her, the Spirit turned towards the direction where Yue Zhong fled, and its perception sweeping out towards him.

However, since Yue Zhong put on the Stealth Armor, capable of retracting all signs and presence of him, no matter how the Spirit tried, it was unable to detect Yue Zhong.

After sweeping around for a few minutes, the Undying Devil Spirit then took in a deep breath, and let out a powerful roar.

The howl spread outwards like a shockwave in all directions.

The powerful roar could do nothing to Yue Zhong. Unfortunately, when it struck Annie, it caused her body to shudder, disrupting her energy and blood flow, as she spat out a mouthful of blood and her body flickered into view, as she tumbled out of the sky.

"Not good!!"

Yue Zhong saw Annie appear and his heart skipped a beat. Annie's stealth technique was powerful, which the Undying Devil Spirit was unable to see through as well, however, once her true body was discovered, she would only face death.

Yue Zhong pointed at her, executing his Blood Manipulation ability, causing her thrown-up blood to transform into 6 beams that shot out in different directions.

Yue Zhong then grabbed out at her, before soaring and heading for a valley.

The moment the Spirit caught the scent of Annie's blood, it whirled around and chased after one of them, flying towards it.

In that instant, the Undying Devil Spirit had caught up to one of it, immediately devouring it before turning around to give chase to another.

While this Undying Devil Spirit was strong, its intelligence was not high, thus, it could chase after targets to kill, giving Yue Zhong and Annie a chance.

Inside the valley, Annie thanked Yue Zhong, "Thanks."

Yue Zhong chuckled, "Not a problem."

Annie then asked, "Who would have thought there to be an Undying Spirit here? What do we do now, go back?"

Unknowingly, Annie had already treated Yue Zhong as a pillar of support. If it were at the initial point of their meeting, she would not have asked for his opinion.

Yue Zhong sighed deeply, "No, I think we need to continue forward."

In order to evolve further, Yue Zhong needed more resources, or to kill more powerhouses. However, with the numerous experts in the Great God World, in order to become strong, he needed more equipment or obtain some other strength. Otherwise, if he were to take his time to slowly evolve, who knew when he would become a Type 9 powerhouse.

Hearing his words, Annie replied mildly, "En!"

After resting a short while, she stood up, and disappeared, "I'm alright now! Let's continue!"

Yue Zhong also stood up.

All of a sudden, there was a warmth from Yue Zhong and Annie's identity cards. A powerful will transmitted through their card, "This is First Holy Son Qian Chang Qing from the Eastern Temple. Right now, we're confronting enemies from the Man-Eating Temples, and 10,000-Devil Altar. Any other human brothers and sisters, please rush over to this location and join us to wipe out these damned foreign races."

The identity card of the Holy Heavens had a special function, which was to provide information only of certain duties. As the 1st Holy Son of the Eastern Temple, and was far above Yue Zhong or Annie, thus he could deliver the message.

Following a powerful intent, a map then appeared in their identity cards, showcasing the location where Qian Chang Qing was supposedly at.

Yue Zhong sighed, before asking, "What's this Qian Chang Qing like?"

Annie thought for a while before replying, "Qian Chang Qing is the 1st among those from the Eastern Temple, a half-step Type 9 powerhouse. He has the Radiant Domain. He possesses countless secret techniques, and is recognized to be one of the foremost experts of the Holy Heavens, top 10 among those at the Type 8 realm, also the one deemed to have the most potential to rise to the Type 9 Holy Lord-in-Waiting position."

Annie explained calmly, "Furthermore, he's extremely warm in his treatment of others, and is exceptionally kind. In our Holy Heavens, many have received his grace and favor."

Yue Zhong came to a decision, "In that case, let's go meet up with him now."

Inside this strange world, other than the Undying Devil Spirit, and a few other undying existences, there were many foreign species. Among those foreign races, experts were aplenty, and there were even half-step Type 9 powerhouses among them.

If there was one, Yue Zhong had confidence in taking on. However, if it was 2 of them, he could only choose to flee. The chances of obtaining the treasury in this place were infinitely small. Only by gathering people would there be a chance to take on the foreign races.

Annie agreed, "Sure!"

After they agreed, Yue Zhong also put on his Stealth Armor and followed the instructions on the identity card, heading towards where Qian Chang Qing and the rest were.

In this mysterious realm, where there were countless treasures, resources, rare fruits, and other items, if an ordinary person were to take one, he or she could immediately become a 6-attribute perfect Evolver. Some of them were even able to propel one to the Type 4 realm instantly.

However, with Maruf as an example, Yue Zhong and Annie did not retrieve any items they saw along the way. Those fruits might be precious, but if they were to trigger the defenders or guardian spirits, they might not be able to live. The Undying Devil Spirit was too terrifying. Only a Type 9 powerhouse would be capable of meeting its attack.

There were also other huge Mutant Beast hordes within the realm, of which countless Type 8 and half-step Type 9 existences were among as well.

Each time there was a strong Mutant Beast horde, Yue Zhong and Annie would carefully route around them, before moving along quickly.

After passing through a number of mountains, they finally arrived at the location specified by Qian Chang Qing.

It was a vast and desolate valley, and at the edge of it, there was a huge palace constructed out of red glass crystals, emitting an archaic and saintly aura, looking powerful and grand.

3 forces were facing off in front of the palace, namely the Human Race, the Man-Eating Race, and the Devils Race. On the human side, there were 40-odd, while the Man-Eaters had 8. The Devils had even lesser, a total of 4.

However, among the Man-Eaters, there were 3 half-step Type 9 powerhouses, while the other 5 were freaks at the peak-Type 8 realm. The Devils had 4 half-step Type 9 powerhouses.

Even though the humans had the advantage in numbers, they merely had 2 half-step Type 9 powerhouses. 6 were at the peak-Type 8 realm, hence, their total combat prowess could be considered the weakest.

However, even though the humans' combined strength was the weakest, when using an array or formation, they were able to channel a terrifying strength. These formations were researched by humans and was one of the strongest killing trump cards against foreign races.

One of the half-step Type 9 Devils, who had a single horn on his forehead, his body ripped and exuding a metallic luster, looked towards the Man-Eaters, asking with a savage expression, "Ghost Tun, why don't we join forces and wipe out these cockroaches, before splitting the treasures of this temple?"

The Man-Eater expert Ghost Tun, had a chilly light in his gaze, "Fine! Your Devil Race can go first!"

Ghost Tun was not stupid, though the human race was weaker after they completed their array, even a half-step Type 9 powerhouse would have to pay a huge price to take them on.

Among these 3 factions, the Devils had the least numbers, but their strength was highest. Once the Man-Eaters and the humans both suffered from the clash, the Devil Race could definitely wipe them all out.

The Devils loved to battle and were cruel and violent by nature. Even among themselves, there were common cases of infighting and slaughter. They were the worst allies to have. In the past, the Man-Eaters had tried allying with them, but each time, they would end up fighting among themselves, driving a wedge further between both factions.

The single-horn Devil Race member laughed, and spoke, "Since you're unwilling, then forget it."

A blue-eyed human powerhouse with a huge sword on his back and his body clad in golden armor frowned, his gaze wary, "Qian Chang Qing, these fellows are not easy to deal with. If they join hands, we will definitely lose."

This was the First Holy Son of the Western Temple, Hai Yin.

This time, it was Hai Yin and Qian Chang Qing who had organized a huge party to come search for treasures in the Merlot Battlefield. However, they had never expected there to be so many foreign races gathered in front of the temple as well.

Qian Chang Qing gazed at the 2 enemy groups, laughing lightly, "Hai Yin, don't worry, if we had met either one of them, it would have been a tough battle with heavy losses on our side, maybe even death. However, since they are both here at the same time, it is advantageous to us. As long as we maintain our stance, they would not attack us casually. After all, whoever attacks us first would suffer, and once there're any weaknesses or injuries, the other party would pounce on them, tearing them apart."

Hai Yin nodded his head silently. Suddenly, he turned around towards the direction of Yue Zhong and Annie who had flown over, his eyes narrowing, "Someone's here."

Qian Chang Qing was slightly taken aback, as he looked towards the direction as well, his mouth curling upwards, "To think there are 2 other outstanding fellows, I did not even detect their arrival, their stealth abilities are truly top-notch."

At the same time, Yue Zhong felt shocked, "I was discovered. The human race truly has hidden experts. Heaven-defying talents are everywhere. I cannot get complacent and be careless."

Just as Hai Yin was looking towards Yue Zhong, a powerful energy was hidden over at the human's side, staring at Yue Zhong coldly, preparing to deal a direct hit towards Yue Zhong and Annie.

Space contorted and Annie revealed herself, retrieving her identity card as she announced, "Holy Daughter Annie from the Western Temple, and Divine Envoy Yue Zhong from the Central Temple, have arrived. "

Qian Chang Qing's eyes flashed with an intelligent look, as he analyzed, "It is indeed Annie, and the one beside her should be the new Divine Envoy of the Central Temple. Among our reports, there's nothing on this new Divine Envoy among those Divine Envoys-in-Waiting, and he's obviously someone who had reached that position after we came to the Merlot Battlefield. To reach this position at such a short time, he must be capable. Let them in."

The human camp quickly opened up.

"Hahaha!!! New humans? Don't go in, stay here and become my food!"

At that moment, there was a distortion of space behind Yue Zhong, as a half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost appeared, with a strange rune carved on his forehead, his four limbs engraved with spatial runes as well. His right hand was currently enveloped in devil qi, as he slashed towards Yue Zhong's heart with a savage laughter.

"Watch out!!"

"..."

Seeing that, the human powerhouses all had horrified expressions, shouting to warn him.

Hai Yin pulled out his large sword at the first moment with a crestfallen expression, "Damn it!! It's the Spatial Devil Ghost!! Seems like it's over for Yue Zhong!! Fuck!!"

There was a look of regret in Qian Chang Qing's eyes as well, "Damn it, this human talent is about to fall here!!"

The Spatial Ghost Devil was one of the strongest and terrifying races of the Devils Race, and while they did not possess much strength, they were naturally attuned to spatial laws and could move around space freely, making them one of the toughest enemies to deal with.

If the humans did not have a formation sealing their location, just that single Spatial Devil Ghost was enough to wipe most of them out.

"Just with you? I've already discovered you earlier! This was a trap meant to lure you out! Please become a stepping stone for my evolution!"

Yue Zhong laughed coldly, his Devil Domain bursting forth, enveloping the half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost within his domain.

Inside the Devil Domain, an endless amount of Devil qi was surging, and space was secure. Even the half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost had no way of tearing apart the space to flee.

After releasing the Devil Domain, Yue Zhong was certain of the strength of this enemy, and could not let him react. With a though, he whirled around to face the Devil Ghost, instantly utilizing the Cosmic Finger that he had comprehended from the True God expert.

At that moment, it seemed that the countless things and galaxies converged on Yue Zhong, forming the powerful Cosmic Finger as it slammed towards the half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost.

"Shit!!! How is this human so strong?! I can't take this move head-on!! Spatial Domain, appear!!"

Facing the True God-skill, there was a deep fear that sprouted in the Spatial Devil Ghost. He gritted his teeth to execute his Spatial Domain, and at that moment, a powerful region of spatial laws appeared, slamming into the Yue Zhong's Devil Domain, both sides clashing and wearing each other down.

The Spatial Devil Ghost took the chance when his domain clashed against Yue Zhong's to tear another spatial hole, trying its best to escape.

With the ability to manipulate space freely, especially at its half-step Type 9 realm, even Yue Zhong's Devil Domain was unable to fully seal its movements.

Relying on the spatial advantage, this Spatial Devil Ghost would be to escape even from a Type 9 powerhouse.

Yue Zhong stared at the Devil Ghost with a chilly glint in his eyes. With a thought, he made use of the Radiant Battleship hidden within the void, and let out a powerful roar, "Break!!"

The Radiant Battleship released a powerful radiance, containing the laws and principles of space that struck the area, directly collapsing any spatial holes that the Devil Ghost had created. The hole he had just opened was instantly sealed shut.

Fear and despair were written all over the face of the Spatial Devil Ghost as he screamed out, "Impossible!! Impossible!! How could the spatial hole I tear open be closed?! Even a Type 9 powerhouse would not be able to do it!"

The Radiant Battleship was a Gold-Grade treasure worthy of challenging God and was a spatial treasure as well. It could transcend worlds, and travel freely, hence, sealing a spatial rip was incredibly easy for it.

As the Spatial Devil Ghost continued to scream and shout, the Cosmic Finger conjured by Yue Zhong finally struck the body of the enemy, causing it to break apart.

In order to vanquish this foe in the shortest possible time, Yue Zhong had thoroughly employed his trump cards. If he were to go easy, he would not be able to kill this Spatial Devil Ghost.

With the death of the Devil Ghost, a powerful source of life force flowed into Yue Zhong. At the same time, as he absorbed it, he gained a stronger sense of spatial laws, and the inner energy within him had reached the peak of the high-Type 8 level.

By the time he was done, his spirit rumbled, and there was joy in his eyes, "This Spatial Devil Ghost is a huge nourishment to me!! If I can hunt a dozen more of such half-step Type 9 powerhouses, I would be able to break into the Type 9 realm directly!"

"What?! Space Ren was killed!!"

"Who the hell is that fellow? How could he take down Space Ren?! That was unbelievable!! He's merely at the high-Type 8 realm, how did he do it?"

"..."

Seeing the half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost taken down by Yue Zhong, the 3 remaining Devils had eyes of shock and disbelief, their gaze towards Yue Zhong more wary and alarmed.

The Spatial Devil Ghosts were one of the toughest races to kill, even the 3 experts of the Devil Race would not be able to kill one in a frontal clash. At most, it would just be an impasse.

"Strong!!"

"That was formidable, who is this Yue Zhong? He was actually able to kill that half-step Type 9 Spatial Devil Ghost."

"Divine Envoy, are you certain he's just a Divine Envoy? If only those at the Divine Envoy level could kill that half-step Type 9 monster, then what the hell are we Holy Sons for?!"

"..."

A hubble of discussion began to break out within the human camp, as respect, admiration, envy, all sorts of gazes were thrown on Yue Zhong.

Yue Zhong's slaughter of that Devil Ghost had caused everyone to be filled with complicated feelings towards him.

Under their gazes, Yue Zhong and Annie entered the formation and came up to Qian Chang Qing.

Qian Chang Qing wore an amiable smile, as he greeted Yue Zhong warmly, "Yue Zhong, within our information network, we have never heard of you before! In all of Holy Heavens, any expert above the Type 7 realm had all been researched on and I've studied them all and remember them clearly. Are you able to share your background with me?"

Yue Zhong's strength had been displayed clearly for him to see, thus, Qian Chang Qing did not mind treating him as an equal.

Yue Zhong replied with a short but direct answer, "I'm the new disciple of the Central Temple's Holy Lord Tian Dou, and I'd just been raised to the Divine Envoy position a few days back."

Annie suddenly added in, "When he passed through the Initiation Gate, he triggered the Howling Dragon and Roaring Tiger image."

Hearing that, the rest all had changes in their expressions, their gazes towards Yue Zhong becoming even deeper. Someone who could trigger that image was definitely a heaven-defying genius. As long as he did not die, there was no question about his or her ascension to the Type 9 realm.

Qian Chang Qing and Hai Yin were considered talented powerhouses and were at the half-step Type 9 realm. However, to make that leap and cross into the Type 9 realm, it was incredibly difficult. Many experts have been stuck at that bottleneck for so long. Even the two of them had no confidence that they could break that barrier.

The rest of the Holy Sons and Daughters stared at Yue Zhong. They had not taken the legend of the dragon-tiger illusion, only after seeing Yue Zhong in action, did they realize how terrifying such a talent was.

Yue Zhong's gaze narrowed, "Qian Chang Qing, since the situation is at a stalemate, it's not good for us. Along the way, we sensed a number of Undying Devil Spirits, as well as powerful Mutant Beasts. If this continues, just a few of those Undying Devil Spirits would be enough to wipe us out."

Qian Chang Qing laughed bitterly, "I know this as well, however, if we were to move casually, the Man-Eaters and Devil Clan would launch an assault. If they were to join hands, we would be in trouble."

Yue Zhong glanced towards the direction of the opposite factions, and he frowned. He did not have a solution as well.

If the 2 groups joined hands, they would be enough to deal with the human faction. Even with Yue Zhong and Annie, it would be hard to deal with them.

Right at this time, the blue crystal key that was hidden in Yue Zhong's ring suddenly shot out of his ring, transcending space and directly inserted into the doors of the majestic temple.

The archaic and ancient gates of the temple that was engraved in runes then swung open slowly.

At the same time, there were many loud horn sounds.

Under the enveloping horn sounds, the entire region started to crack open, as numerous skeletons of different sizes started climbing out of the ground.

They were of different sizes and shapes, but share one common trait, which was that their bones were all golden in color. Even after goodness knows how long, they had maintained that resplendent gold color. Their eyes were all shining with intelligent flames, and their bodies radiated an insidious but powerful aura.

These skeletons were not Undying Devil Spirits, but another variant of the undead called Specter Skeletons. In the past, these had all been half-step Type 10 powerhouses. They had developed indestructible physiques and were just left with the transformation of their souls to reach the Type 10 stage, a True God. After their deaths, they had left their physiques behind, that merged with the gathered Yin qi and resentment to form these Specter Skeletons.

Each one of them was at the Type 8 realm, some of the strongest even being at the Type 9 realm. Within the Merlot Battlefield, they were also considered one of the most terrifying forces.

These tens of thousands of Specter Skeletons gathered together, even a half-step True God powerhouse would feel his scalp turn numb and retreat. Otherwise, there was a danger of perishing here.

Within the area of over a 10,000 li, countless skeletons continued to emerge from the grounds, and the beautiful region rich in cultivation energy was suddenly overflowing with resentment, deathly qi, insidious Yin energy.

The skeletons gathered immediately when they emerged, moving slowly but steadily towards the temple.

At this point, a land near the temple also began to split open as large, golden skeleton hands burst out, pulling the rest of their skeletons up.

"The doors of the treasury is open! Let's head in first!" The 3 Devils laughed out loud, and transformed into beams of light that shot towards the temple.

Earlier, when all 3 factions had waited outside the palace, it was because the gates were shut. If any were to try and open the gate, the other 2 would pounce on them. Hence, a strange equilibrium was achieved. Now that the gate was opened, the Devil Race could not be bothered with the humans. The treasures within the palace were of even greater importance.

At the entrance, 8 Specter Skeletons leaped out, wielding bone-formed weapons, pouncing towards the 3 Devils.

"Hahaha, a bunch of bones, break for me!!"

One of the Devils charged forward with a vicious smile, punching out over a thousand times on the bodies of the 8 Specter Skeletons.

With a single blast, all of the skeletons broke apart in multiple directions, the souls in their heads also dissipated by the Devil Race member.

After that, the 3 of them immediately charged into the temple.

"Go!!"

Following Qian Chang Qing's signal, the rest of the humans also charged right into the temple.

The 8 Man-Eaters also quickly moved, heading into the temple.

All of a sudden, a golden mighty hand came bursting forth from the ground, grabbing the 8 Man-Eaters.

Ghost Tun roared out, sending out his own fist that caused the atmospheric energy to congeal into a green fist that slammed into the descending palm, "Get lost!"

The huge golden hand waved casually, and scattered the energy punch of Ghost Tun, before slapping out once more, turning one of the Man-Eating Ghosts into meat paste.

"It's a Type 9 Specter Skeleton!! Everyone flee!!" Ghost Tun had a horrified expression as he roared out and quickly shot towards the temple.

A Type 9 powerhouse and a half-step Type 9 powerhouse were 2 vastly different entities. Ghost Tun, who was at the half-step Type 9 stage, would only fall at the hands of a Type 9 powerhouse.

Hearing that, the rest of the Man-Eaters had changes in their countenance as they quickly made for the huge temple.

In that instant, a humanoid Specter Skeleton with a pair of golden wings and a single golden horn on its forehead shot out from the side, the blade in its hands slicing down at one of the Man-Eaters, carving him in half.

Another Specter Skeleton formed from only 10 bones leaped out from the ground, grabbing one of the Man-Eaters and dragged him towards the deep recess of the abyss in the ground.

Not long after, there was a miserable shriek from the ground, before it fell silent.

In just a moment, the Man-Eaters had suffered a huge loss. The humans did not have an easy time either.

A huge golden palm burst out from the ground, exuding a mighty aura that slapped towards the formation of the human group.

That palm carried a boundless strength formed from resentment and Yin Qi, as well as thick Death laws, slapping down towards them.

The leader, Qian Chang Qing, had a steely expression as he roared, "Evacuate!!"

Even if they were to combine all 40 of them, it would not be enough to take on that single palm. The only thing they could do was to quickly leave the location.

The 40 human experts were all alert, and reacted at the same time, dodging to the sides. However, since the golden palm had burst forth, in a single grab, it managed to grab one Holy Son.

"Save me!! Save me!!"

The face of the Holy Son contorted as he let out screams of despair and fear. However, a terrifying pressure enveloped him, and in an instant, he was crushed and reduced to a pile of bones without any sign of life left.

Yue Zhong stared at the Holy Son, his scalp turning numb, "What a domineering Type 9 Specter Skeleton!!"

There were Specter Skeletons everywhere, and under the terrifying pressure, 2 Holy Sons immediately executed their techniques in a bid to flee. They had already abandoned all thoughts of fighting for treasures and wanted to get out alive.

Seeing that, the rest also began to react, a few of them wanting to leave as well. Treasures were good, but their lives were more important.

Right at that moment, 2 golden bone arrows tore through the skies, piercing the 2 fleeing Holy Sons. In a breath, they turned into skeletons and fell from the skies, not a breath left in them.

Yue Zhong swept a look and discovered many of the Specter Skeletons were just standing guard outside of the Temple, not daring to go near it. He had the epiphany right then, "The inner sanctum!! Enter the inner sanctum and we'll have a chance!! These Specter Skeletons do not dare enter the Divine Temple."

After that, his figure flashed and he charged in the direction of the Temple.

At that moment, a Specter Skeleton with gold bone wings shot in front of him, slashing out towards Yue Zhong's heart with its claws.

"Go to hell!" Yue Zhong punched out with his fist, slamming into the Specter Skeleton and his immense strength burst forth, directly breaking the skeleton apart.

After destroying the Specter Skeleton, Yue Zhong took the opportunity to enter the Temple Gates, as he stood there and turned around, his eyes flashing with a strange glint, "There's no life force. These are all undead, there are no benefits for me in killing them."

The God-Devil Imprint could absorb the life force of the entities that Yue Zhong killed, but with regards to those that did not have any flesh or blood, even if they were killed, there was no life force to be absorbed. After all, they were constructed from strength and resentment.

The various Holy Sons and Daughters of the human factions were experts in their own right, making use of all their abilities to weave through the line of Specter Skeletons, arriving at the temple gate. However, 3 of them were lost to the Specter Skeletons.

However, with more humans entering the temple, the attention of the Specter Skeletons shifted to those still outside, increasing the difficulty.

One particular Holy Son opened his palms, and fired out vines, grabbing 2 of the Specter Skeletons in front of him and flung them violently behind, "Get the hell out of my way!"

After throwing those 2 skeletons, the Holy Son continued to soar towards the gates. As long as he reached, he would be safe.

At that moment, there was a flash of gold, as a blade sliced through the head of the Holy Son, directly splitting his head in half and his corpse fell out of the sky. He was barely 50m away from the Temple gates.

Seeing this, all the human experts felt a chill in their hearts, as they watched the 5 remaining human powerhouses and their struggles.

Even a half-step Type 9 powerhouse would fall when surrounded by such numbers. The remaining 5 powerhouses were considered the weakest among the human faction, without any external help, they would surely die.

Yue Zhong took a look, and frowned, before tapping his foot and charging straight into their midst.

Annie was surrounded by numerous transparent silk while in the midst of the Specter Skeletons, continually fending them off. If the skeletons had flesh, they would have been ripped apart by those wires. However, as their bones were from half-step Type 10 experts, they were incredibly tough, and unless an actual Type 9 powerhouse acted, it was impossible to break their bones.

Annie then controlled the silk to bounce the skeletons away. Soon, she was covered in perspiration, and her strength was beginning to ebb away. She was utilizing all her concentration and strength to resist their attacks. As long as she became weaker by half, the Specter Skeletons would be able to barge through her defenses and tear her apart. Under that sort of pressure, she continued maintaining her focus.

All of a sudden, a huge Skeleton appeared, over a dozen meters tall, sending a powerful punch towards her.

With a loud blast, the silky webs were almost torn apart, while the Specter Skeleton was also sent flying back by the rebound.

At the moment Annie's defenses crumbled, 4 Specter Skeletons charged forth, slashing out at her from 4 different directions.

As danger befell her, Annie continued to maintain an icy look, however, there was a sliver of despair in her heart, "Who would have thought that I'd perish here!!"

Just then, a figure shot past one of the Skeletons, sending a powerful punch out, and the atmospheric energy gathered together before exploding out, and the Specter Skeletons were all blasted backward in a shower of gold bones.

Annie focused her eyes, noticing that it was Yue Zhong, and there was a strange feeling that welled up in her, "It's Yue Zhong! He saved me!!"

"Gather on me!!" Yue Zhong roared out in rage, as he sent out another punch full of strength, blasting another dozen Specters away.

The 4 other Holy Sons quickly gathered around him, forming a small formation.

"Charge!!"

He waved his fists, and punched out at space, causing a huge atmospheric pressure to weigh down on the scattered bones, preventing them from reforming, and forcefully carved a path out.

The 5 other Holy Sons and Daughters quickly executed their secret techniques as well, triggering the atmospheric energy to fend off the Skeletons at the side.

In terms of strength, these human powerhouses were stronger than those ordinary Specter Skeletons, after all, they were talented cultivators.

Just as they were about to break out of the deadlock, the earth suddenly split apart, and a huge giant Specter Skeleton appeared. It was the one who had squashed the peak-Type 8 Man-Eater.

The Type 9 Golden Giant Specter Skeleton opened its eyes, as 2 beams that could tear through the heavens itself, imbued with terrifying suffocating pressure as they weighed down on Yue Zhong.

"Shit!" When he was swept by those beams, Yue Zhong felt his body turn cold as an incredible feeling of danger arose.

Right at that moment, the Type 9 Specter Skeleton stretched out its huge palms and brought along a terrifying strike imbued with death laws, aiming for Yue Zhong.

This was a true Type 9 powerhouse, that single palm contained spatial laws, and directly sealed Yue Zhong's movement. Even the Wings of Hope could not be utilized.

Against that attack that could easily level an entire planet, Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed and he activated his Devil Domain, channeling a surge of Devil qi towards the Type 9 Specter Skeleton.

The palm of the Type 9 giant came crashing down, directly destroying the Domain that Yue Zhong was so proud of and relied so much upon.

A Type 9 powerhouse was extremely close to God, possessing utmost strength, and unless it was a domain from a similar-level opponent, it was impossible even for the perfect God-Devil Physique and the nigh-invincible God-Devil Domain to withstand.

As the Devil Domain collapsed, Yue Zhong immediately fired out the Cosmic Finger he had comprehended, and a powerful force that contained the strength of a small-universe congealed at his fingertips, firing out into the sky.

With a loud blast, the Cosmic Finger struck the Skeleton and dispersed. The powerful recoil caused Yue Zhong to spit out a mouthful of golden blood.

However, there was also a huge hole within the Type 9 Specter Skeleton.

Seeing Yue Zhong execute that Cosmic Finger, causing a huge hole in the Type 9 Specter Skeleton, Qian Chang Qing was filled with shock, "He actually blocked it?! He blocked a Type 9 powerhouse?! That's unbelievable! Is he still human?! How come there's such a monster?!"

The distance between a Type 8 and Type 9 powerhouse, was that of a spirit and a half-god, the difference of an ant and a heavenly dragon. It would already be considered incredible for a half-step Type 9 powerhouse to be able to flee from a Type 9 powerhouse. To actually face on an attack, it was incredibly rare.

Hai Yin stared at Yue Zhong, his eyes filled with envy, "That's so formidable! Damn it!! How is it the gap between humans can be that wide also?!"

The rest of the Holy Sons and Daughters were also shocked. They had seen and experienced a lot along with their own journeys, and they were naturally clear on the strength of a Type 9 powerhouse.

Yue Zhong's Cosmic Finger tore through the Specter Skeleton, and he gritted his teeth to suppress the backlash, grabbing the 5 other humans, and charged through the large hole, flying directly for into the Temple gates.

The Type 9 Specter Skeleton watched blankly at the huge hold in its right arm, and its resentful gaze then turned to Yue Zhong who was standing at the Temple Gates.

There was a sudden strange glint in the gaze of the Type 9 Specter Skeleton, and it grabbed towards the Temple viciously.

"What?! Is the Type 9 Giant actually not afraid of the Temple?"

A terrifying thought appeared for everyone, and their faces turned pale, as they quickly dashed further inside the Temple.

If the Type 9 Specter Skeleton was truly not afraid of the Temple, it would be able to kill everyone present.

When the claws of the Specter Skeleton came to a distance of about 10m from the Temple, they suddenly broke apart and scattered over the ground.

It quickly retracted its claws, or what was left of it. The seemingly indestructible hand had actually lost everything from the wrist.

Yue Zhong had stayed behind to observe, and upon noticing its situation, his eyes brightened, "Everyone, no need for panic! It cannot enter the temple!"

"Ah! Help!!"

Right at this time, one of the walls of the Temple began to split open, as a huge, thorny vine shot out, wrapping around one of the Holy Sons, and instantly ground him into pieces.

Hai Yin let out a roar of rage, retrieving his huge sword on his back, as he charged at the vine and swung out a thousand blade beams at one go, "Damn bastard!! Die!!"

Qian Chang Qing's face was steely as he came up to the vine, "This is a well-known Devil Race trap, the Bloodsucking Vine. Once caught, even a Type 8 powerhouse would be helpless. Everyone, be careful. There is definitely more around here. Those damn Devils want to slow us down."

Inside the Great God World, there were many strange things, capable of devouring even Type 8 powerhouses. Only by reaching the Type 9 realm would one be able to ignore such things.

Annie stepped up and spoke coldly, "Let me handle these traps. My ability is the best counter to these trifling things."

With that, she waved her hands, and countless silk shot out towards everywhere, and everywhere they touched, the traps folded and disappeared mysteriously.

She then retracted her lines, "It's done. Those traps are already destroyed. However, I'm not sure if there are other traps within the Temple."

Qian Chang Qing nodded silently, "Let's move on!"

The group then proceeded further into the Temple.

The insides of the temple were resplendent, gold shining everywhere, and engraved with many beautiful murals.

However, within those crystal walls, there were also fluctuations of True Gods' wills and everyone did not dare approach them carelessly. If they were to accidentally activate some restriction, it would spell the end of them.

If a True God expert wanted to kill a Type 8 powerhouse, all it took was just a thought. Even someone like Qian Chang Qing, a half-step Type 9 powerhouse would not be able to escape. Only a Type 9 powerhouse would cause a True God to take another look.

The group continued forward, following the long and narrow tunnels, before finally arriving at a large field.

Inside the central field, there was a round altar, exuding a saintly and ancient aura, carved with countless mysterious runes.

Right in the center of the altar was a single suit of armor that was gold in color, giving off a powerful and oppressive aura.

Qian Chang Qing stared at it, his heart skipping a beat as a heated and excited look appeared on his face, "That's the Gold-Grade Treasure Battle Armor!! Oh my goodness, to think there's such a treasure!! With it, I can take on a Type 9 powerhouse!!"

Hai Yin stared at the armor and his heart trembled too, his eyes filled with greed, "Gold-Grade Battle Armor!! If I can obtain it, I can instantly become a Holy Lord-level powerhouse!!"

A Gold-Grade Treasure was extremely rare even in the Holy Heavens. Furthermore, an armor-based Gold-Grade Treasure was increasingly rare. These were items that had existed in history eons past, where even True Gods had worn them before. A Type 9 powerhouse could not hope to damage it in the slightest.

Every piece was extremely precious, and if a Type 8 powerhouse were to put it on, it would allow his or her combat strength to reach the Type 9 stage. Furthermore, while the item was lacking in offensive power, its defense was definitely much stronger, and the user would be hard to kill.

The rest of the Holy Sons also stared at it with heightened desire.

"That is mine!!"

3 Holy Sons finally could not suppress their greed, as they shot towards the altar.

When they saw people making their moves, the rest also could not help themselves, as they pounced towards the armor.

There was only one such armor, and yet there were so many of them. It would naturally belong to whoever reached it first. Once any of these Holy Sons or Daughters obtain it, they would become the strongest powerhouse among those present here.

Even Qian Chang Qing and Hai Yin could not help themselves, as they shot towards the altar.

Only Yue Zhong was the only who kept his guard up, as well as Annie, who stood quietly behind him, not moving.

Annie had a rare hint of anxiety as she asked, "Yue Zhong, why aren't you going over? If you gain it, you can instantly become a Holy Lord-level powerhouse."

Yue Zhong's perception swept up, as he replied warily, "It's not so simple. The 3 Devil members and those Man-Eaters had entered earlier than us. If that treasure was so easy to obtain, they would have taken it long ago. It's likely that this is a trap!"

"What a cautious fellow! However, no matter how guarded you are, it's useless! Ghost Tun, do it!"

Following a light laugh, 3 black blurs shot out from the void, each of those half-step Type 9 Devil Race members striking at their designated targets.

The 3 half-step Type 9 experts from the Devil Clan threw all their might into their attacks. At that instant, one of the Holy Sons had his head dug out, another was sliced in two, and the last had his head decapitated.

The 5 remaining Man-Eaters who had been hiding suddenly launched an attack at the other human Holy Sons, and in an instant, 5 of them had been torn apart, and their corpses consumed.

Within a short moment, over 8 Holy Sons had been annihilated.

Inside this temple, the number of human experts was the most, but in terms of collective strength, they were the weakest. With 8 of their members gone, their overall strength had dipped considerably.

Annie looked at the 8 Holy Sons who had been decimated and felt her heart turn cold. Had she joined in the rush for that armor, she would have been torn apart by those foreign species.

Qian Chang Qing's eyes turned bloodshot as he roared out, "Formation!! Get into formation!!"

Only by being in a formation, could the humans take on the terrifying foreign species!

However, they were now surrounded and encircled, each of them being taken out by the enemies, and there was no way to respond quickly enough.

Qian Chang Qing and Hai Yin were also being held back by one of the half-step Type 9 Devil Race members, as well as a half-step Type 9 Man-Eater.

The physiques of humans were weaker than those foreign races, and even if Qian Chang Qing and Hai Yin were both heaven-defying talents, against the top experts of the Devil Race and Man-Eater Race, they were at a disadvantage, with no way of extracting themselves, and there was even the danger of them falling.

"Damn it! Follow me!" Yue Zhong looked at the foreign races engaging in wanton slaughter of his fellow humans and frowned. With a tap of his foot, he shot towards one 8m-tall Cyclops Werewolf, a being with a single eye, wolf head, human body, and his entire body covered in black scales.

"Hehe, this handsome little brother, come and play with this sister ok? This sister will give you the best experience of this world you'll ever enjoy."

One Devil woman came up to Yue Zhong, her hair purple and long, her figure voluptuous and alluring, with only 2 pieces of black armor covering her private parts, revealing most of her fair skin. Her features were exceptionally charming, and she revealed a coy, yet insidious smile.

Seeing that smile, 2 Holy Sons became infatuated and had the sudden urge to become her servants. The moment that thought came to mind, their strength dipped. The single-horn Cyclops Werewolf laughed savagely and took the opportunity to slam into them, his claws digging out their hearts and swallowing them.

"Ugly freak, you're too old!!"

Yue Zhong swept the beautiful Devil Witch a look, and laughed coldly, immediately casting his Devil Domain, enveloping the Devil With with a surging amount of Devil Qi.

"Stinking brat, you dare say I'm old? When I capture you, I will suck you dry of your essence and tear you limb from limb!"

Hearing Yue Zhong's curse, the mouth of the Devil Witch twitched, as she reached out and sent out a powerful yet kinky Lust Domain that was pink in color. The pinkish aura surged forth and tried to resist the invading Devil Qi from Yue Zhong's Devil Domain.

This Devil Witch was one of the peak experts of the 10,000-Devil Altar, her Lust Domain could ignite all passion and desires of any living creatures. Even a Type 9 powerhouse would turn into a lustful wolf when enveloped by this Domain.

The Lust Domain was considered one of the top domains of the 10,000-Devil Altar and the moment she executed that move, Yue Zhong's Devil Domain was held at bay.

"Keke, handsome, do you think I'm beautiful?"

The beautiful Devil Witch wore an alluring smile, shaking her body in an erotic manner while exuding an intoxicating charm, flying towards Yue Zhong.

Within that Domain, every single move of hers seemed capable of capturing the attention of all male living things. 6 Holy Sons were actually distracted by her, smitten by her sensual movements, and lost their will to fight, before they were torn apart by the Devil Race member as well.

Other than a few other half-step Type 9 powerhouses, even the Man-Eaters could not help but stir at the sight of that Devil Witch, their movements and strength sapped, giving some of their human opponents a moment of breath. Her charms were potent enough to distract even half-step Type 9 powerhouses.

When Annie saw the unfolding scene, her eyes were filled with astonishment, "What a beautiful woman, if I were a man, it would be impossible to resist her charms!!"

"Ugly bitch, just go to hell!"

Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, as he channeled the God-Devil Domain with all his might, and both sides of the Domain surged. The angelic side began to envelop him, as he took in a deep breath, and absorbed the blessings and holy nature of the God-Domain, pushing his strength to the peak, reaching the terrifying half-step Type 9 realm.

Yue Zhong stared at the incoming Devil Witch with an icy look and shot out his Cosmic Finger. In that instant, a terrifying might surged from the sky, pressing towards the Devil Witch viciously.

Instantly, her face turned pale, as she screamed out pitifully, "No!! Don't kill me!! I'm willing to be your slave and warm your bed!!!"

Her begging and plea could easily shake anybody's heart, but the Cosmic Finger continued to press down on her without any mercy.

"Damn it!! Break for me!!" The beautiful Devil Witch's expression turned many times before she breathed deeply, and her lithe body suddenly burst forth with strength, turning metallic black as her half-step Type 9 strength burst forth. She sent a fist out explosively.

Although this Devil Witch seemed helpless and relied on her charms, she was a true half-step Type 9 expert and could hold her own even in dangerous battles. She did not need to rely solely on her charms, as her strength was decent enough.

A black light that seemed capable of tearing the sky slammed into the Cosmic Finger and with a loud boom, a powerful shockwave blasted outwards, causing many to shudder.

The image of the cosmos from Yue Zhong's attack shuddered slightly but managed to disperse the fist of the Devil Witch, as it slammed into her, directly obliterating her.

The moment she was killed, a pure and abundant life force surged into Yue Zhong's body.

"Marlin died!!"

"That human's domain is so strong!! What is it?! How come it's so terrifying?!"

"..."

Seeing how the beautiful Devil Witch had been killed, everyone was filled with shock as they stared at Yue Zhong in trepidation.

As for Yue Zhong himself, he had already leaped out at one 6m-tall Man-Eater who had a long horse-face, yet his teeth as sharp as a tiger, and sent out a fist.

There was a loud blast as the head of the Man-Eater expert burst apart like a watermelon.

Annie, who had been standing quietly behind as though she did not exist, waved her hands and caused countless transparent silk to shoot out, instantly binding a 13m-tall Type 8 Mutant Giant, stopping his movements for a while.

The Type 8 Mutant Bronze Giant had immense strength, his physique surpassing many others. With a powerful shrug, he caused the strings to break.

As the strings floated away, Yue Zhong appeared in front of the Type 8 Mutant Bronze Giant mysteriously, sending a powerful fist at his head and bursting it.

The Devil Qi continued to surge, and within the Devil Domain, there was a weak Man-Eater warrior within, with a crow head and dragon wings. Yue Zhong then teleported in front of that warrior and punched out at the head as well, blasting it to smithereens.

In just a few breaths, 4 foreign species members had fallen at Yue Zhong's hands, their immense life force absorbed by him, causing him to become even stronger.

The deaths of these 4 experts were also a huge loss to these foreign species.

"Join hands to deal with him! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

The single-horn Cyclops Werewolf let out a loud howl, activating his Domain, as his own Devil Domain surged forth and clashed against Yue Zhong's.

Hearing that war cry, the 3 remaining half-step Type 9 powerhouses abandoned their opponents, as though they were all connected in mind, and launched their domains, attacking Yue Zhong with all their might.

At that moment, 2 Devil Domains, 1 Ruthless Domain, and 1 Devil Blade Domain assailed Yue Zhong.

Report chapter

Qian Chang Qing and Hai Yin eyed Yue Zhong who was being surrounded and hesitated for a bare moment, before turning around to soar towards the Gold Grade Battle Armor. Evidently, the treasure was more important than Yue Zhong.

"Joining hands? It's a pity, you're too late. Had you guys been earlier, I might have been unable to take on you guys. Now, all that awaits you is death!"

With a cold laugh, Yue Zhong shot to the skies, his Devil Domain suddenly shrinking around his right fist. With another step, he then traversed through the air like a god, his fist slamming into the Devil Domain released by one of the Horned Devils.

After absorbing so much life force of the many Type 8 powerhouses, Yue Zhong's base strength was already in the peak Type 8 realm, and his power had increased qualitatively. The God-Devil Domain was increasingly stronger and could be maintained over a longer period of time, not dispersing so easily now.

Under the merciless assault of Yue Zhong, the Horned Devil's Domain was instantly obliterated, the Devil Qi within absorbed by the Devil Domain around Yue Zhong's right fist.

The God-Devil Domain of Yue Zhong was the strongest and purest form of energy, placed atop the rest of the Devil-related Domains, and had the most comprehensive of laws within. All other Devil Domains within the Great God World would be suppressed by Yue Zhong's Domain, thus, it was no surprise the Horned Devil lost.

Furthermore, Yue Zhong had enhanced his strength through the God Domain, reaching the half-step Type 9 realm. He could naturally crush the enemies' Devil Domain with a single punch.

There was an utter look of disbelief and shock in the eyes of the Horned Devil, "HOW?! How could my domain be broken by a mere Type 8 human?!!"

"Go to hell!" Yue Zhong roared, as he sent a punch at the head of the Horned Devil after breaking through the Domain, bursting it and absorbing the remnant life force.

At the same time, the remaining 3 domains also surrounded him, sealing his movements.

Facing the attack of those 3 half-step Type 9 powerhouses, Yue Zhong laughed coldly, as he barked out, "Open!"

The Radiant Battleship that was hidden in the void immediately shot out a beam of light, as it tore a spatial rend right in front of Yue Zhong.

The attacks of the 3 half-step Type 9 powerhouses were all absorbed into the spatial tear, without harming Yue Zhong in the slightest.

One of the Devil had a pair of goat horns, his visage savage and he had a pair of devil wings, looked horrified as he muttered, "Impossible! How can he control space?! That's a power only Type 9 experts have!! He's just a Type 8 powerhouse, how can he control space?! HOW?!"

Ghost Tun was also shocked when he saw the spatial tear in front of Yue Zhong, "Space control?! He can control space?! Is he a Type 9 powerhouse that is pretending to be a Type 8 expert?"

Control of space and spatial laws was something only a Type 9 powerhouse could do, and one of the most important abilities that set a Type 9 apart from a Type 8.

Within the Great God World, many Mutant Beasts had strength already exceeding some Type 9 powerhouses even at the half-step Type 9 stage. However, against the true Type 9 powerhouses, these beasts would still be slain, purely because Type 9 experts could control space and tear spatial holes, playing around with even the strongest and toughest of Type 8 powerhouses.

After the spatial tear absorbed the 3 Domains, Yue Zhong flickered and appeared in front of the Cyclops Werewolf, his fist punching towards the head.

Among the 3 of them, this Cyclops Werewolf was the weakest, and nearest to Yue Zhong in terms of strength.

The eye of the Cyclops Werewolf flashed dangerously, as he locked onto Yue Zhong, and his body went taut before he retreated explosively.

Yue Zhong swept him a glance, and laughed mysteriously, barking out in a low voice, "Break!"

There was a sense of danger that welled up in the werewolf's heart.

At that moment, a number of transparent silk wrapped around the Cyclops Werewolf, and in a flash, his body was torn and scratched by that silk, causing fresh blood to flow, while his retreat was suddenly cut off.

Yue Zhong's brilliance had completely overshadowed Annie, causing everyone to forget that there was this Holy Daughter who was an expert as well. She was a powerhouse with countless experience, her eye for opportunities not losing out to Yue Zhong, just that her strength was slightly weaker.

"Not good, I was careless!!"

A look of shock flashed in his eye, and ignoring the injuries he already had, he burst forth with his strength to struggle out. At that moment, his flesh was sliced in multiple areas, revealing the light-gold bones beneath, however, he continued to break apart the strings and silk in a bid to escape.

Yue Zhong's gaze was cold as he appeared on top of the Cyclops Werewolf, his fist punching down, "Too late, die!!"

With a loud bang, the head of the Cyclops Werewolf burst open, as life force was absorbed into Yue Zhong's body.

Seeing how vicious Yue Zhong was, the remaining Devil Race member quickly turned tail in a bid to flee.

Now, all that left of the 4 half-step Type 9 powerhouses that had surrounded Yue Zhong was Ghost Tun himself.

"Human, you're really strong. I respect that. However, the stronger you are, the more I must kill you. Let's die together!!" Ghost Tun revealed a savage expression as he tossed a black pill into his mouth.

The moment the pill entered his stomach, Ghost Tun suddenly became rigid, as countless golden bone blades burst out of his body. Veins started popping dangerously in his face, forming an ugly and hideous visage. Suddenly, the aura of a Type 9 expert exuded from his body.

Annie saw Ghost Tun's transformation and her face fell, as she barked, "Sky Devouring Pill!! It's the Sky Devouring Pill!! Everyone, attack him!! Otherwise, we will all die!!"

The Sky Devouring Pill was a secret pill developed by the Man-Eaters, once consumed, it could ignite the latent potential of a cultivator, allowing his or her prowess to increase exponentially. However, due to the potent effects, once consumed, the user will battle until he died. There was no cure, and unless one was pushed to the extreme brink, no one would utilize such a pill.

Currently, all the human powerhouses were attracted by the Gold Grade Battle Armor at the center of the altar, fighting to reach it first, and no one responded to Annie's call.

The allure of the treasure was too great. Once it was obtained, it could help the user become a mighty figure throughout the Great God World. Few could resist such temptations.

"Go and die!"

Ghost Tun eyed the human experts near the altar and with his fingers outstretched, numerous bone blades shot out, forming a Blade Domain, blasting towards the human cultivators.

Save me!!"

"Help!!"

"..."

These human Holy Sons and Daughters all activated their own Domains, but when clashing against Ghost Tun's domain, they were all crushed, their bodies riddled with grievous injuries, as they screamed out in agony before they died.

In a single instant, Ghost Tun had already killed 3 human powerhouses.

The rest of the powerhouses continued to struggle in agony, even Qian Chang Qing and Hai Yin were executing their own domains, struggling madly within the Bone Blade Domain.

Annie gritted her teeth, waving her jade-like hands and caused more transparent silk to appear beside Ghost Tun, wrapping around him.

Ghost Tun did not even bother about the silk, as he charged at Yue Zhong, and when he brushed past that transparent silk, the sharp bone blades on his body just sliced them all up. In an instant, he already appeared in front of Yue Zhong, slashing towards him, while channeling the Bone Blade Domain as well.

"You want to die with me? Not a chance!!"

There was a strong battle intent in Yue Zhong's eyes, as he immediately cast the Cosmic Finger, pressuring the Bone Blade Domain.

With a loud blast, Yue Zhong's Cosmic Finger was actually destroyed by the Bone Blade Domain, while the Bone Blade Domain also collapsed under the Cosmic Finger.

In the midst of the resulting shockwave, Yue Zhong stepped through the air, transcending space and sent out a punch atop Ghost Tun's head.

The terrifying strength burst forth and caused a huge hole within Ghost Tun's head.

At that instant, numerous bone blades shot out from Ghost Tun's body, slicing upwards at Yue Zhong.

The Bone Blades had laws and principles imbued in them, even when Yue Zhong tried his best to dodge, he was still sliced up, causing fresh blood to splatter onto the ground.

The torn muscles and flesh on Ghost Tun's head quickly regenerated, as the injury that Yue Zhong caused recovered in a blink of an eye.

Yue Zhong's body flickered through the endless Bone Blades, while his fists punched out rapidly, covered in golden saint-like radiance, destroying the Bone Blades that appeared in front of him.

After passing through the bone blades, Yue Zhong came up to Ghost Tun's head once more, his fist punching downwards in a thousand fist shadows.

Under that merciless assault, Ghost Tun's head was ravaged and healed, over and over again. Even when Yue Zhong managed to destroy it fully, it was able to regenerate within seconds. The brain could be destroyed, but Ghost Tun was not yet dead. It was truly horrific.

As Yue Zhong was continuously pummeling Ghost Tun, Ghost Tun's body also fired out a number of bone blades, using strange angles to attack Yue Zhong, forcing him back.

At the moment Yue Zhong retreated, Ghost Tun's body recovered completely, as though he had not been injured at all. He was basically an undying freak right now.

Yue Zhong stared at it and frowned, "Damn it!! I can't kill him!! If this goes on, the person to die will be me!! Seems like I can only do that!"

With the support of the God Domain, Yue Zhong had temporarily risen to the half-step Type 9 realm. However, each second sapped him of a lot of energy. He could not maintain it for too long.

His gaze narrowed, and he quickly smashed the Bone Blades apart. He then appeared behind Ghost Tun, and ignited his Flame Domain, before congealing it to a layer that covered his right fist, burning with the God-Devil Flames. He then punched out at Ghost Tun.

At that moment, the golden God-Devil Flames ignited and began burning Ghost Tun's body, burning up large chunks of its flesh and blood.

"Ah!!"

Burned by that God-Devil Flames, Ghost Tun screamed out in agony, as countless bone blades burst out from him again, trying to slice at Yue Zhong.

"Break for me!!"

Yue Zhong's body started to radiate like a god, as his left fist channeled a Sky Covering Shadow Fist, breaking through all the bone blades, while his right fist smashed into Ghost Tun's body mercilessly and continuously while wrapped in the God-Devil Flames. The intense assault caused Ghost Tun to roar out in agony, his body ablaze in flames.

Ghost Tun's vitality was incredibly tenacious, even when his flesh was being burnt away, it was regenerating at an insane speed. However, ultimately, the regeneration speed could not compare to the God-Devil Flame's incineration, and amidst his miserable cries, he was finally burnt to a pile of ashes.

With his death, a pure amount of life force shot into Yue Zhong, nourishing him.

After killing Ghost Tun, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately released the God-Devil Domain and Flame Domain. Maintaining both at the same time was a huge expenditure of his energy. Under such circumstances, he would be totally sapped after a mere 3 minutes of combat.

At this time, Yue Zhong glanced towards the altar, noticing a number of the Holy Sons reaching it.

One of them managed to get to it, with greed in his eyes, as he stretched out to grab the Gold Grade Battle Armor.

Behind him, another Holy Son had a chilly glint in his eyes, as he roared out and sent a vicious slap, causing a dragon formed out of energy to blast the Holy Son in front, sending him flying with heavy injuries, "Get lost!! It's mine!!"

Among the humans, there was strife too. Against the foreign species, they would work together and fight alongside. However, once those external threats were not present, and faced with an incredible treasure, their inner greed and demons would rear their ugly heads, causing them to slaughter each other in greed.

Another beautiful Holy Daughter waved her hands, causing a rainbow to shoot out and slam into 3 Holy Sons in front of her, breaking down their attacks and sent them flying to one side. She then grabbed out at thin air, forming a grasp at the Gold Grade Battle Armor.

Just as her energy hand shot out, another Holy Son fired out a black radiance, slamming into the energy hand, dissipating it forcefully.

If anyone present were to obtain the Gold Grade Battle Armor, they would become an existence capable of dealing with Type 9 powerhouses. Under such an allure, no one could maintain their rationale. The only thing holding them back from killing one another was because they were still fellow humans. Hence, no one died. However, as the battles raged on, they became even more furious with one another.

Yue Zhong stared at them quietly, without any intention to join in, just frowning at their mad behavior. At the same time, he took out a vial of Type 9 Mutant Beast blood to drink and recover his energy.

Annie also stood quietly by Yue Zhong's side, like his shadow, watching the scene in front of her, and a hint of greed in her eyes.

She was someone who fought in the shadows, acting as support. Her silk strands enabled her to control someone else like a puppet and could split apart armors and tie her enemies. However, in a frontal clash, she was no match for the rest of the Holy Sons and Daughters. Hence, when fighting for treasures, she knew she did not have an upper hand. She was always one who kept her calm, and since she knew there was no chance for her to obtain the treasure, she did not step forward to fight for it.

Qian Chang Qing let out a loud roar towards the sky, "Everyone, stop!!! Listen to me!! There's a problem with this treasure!! If it was so easy to obtain, then the Devil Race and Man-Eaters would have taken it before us!! Stop!! Stop fighting!!"

Every one of the Holy Sons and Daughters was smart, and they quickly sobered up at that, realizing that they had missed that point. It was unfortunate that greed had blinded their eyes earlier.

Qian Chang Qing had used a psychological attack in his roar, shaking them out from the greed that overtaken them, forcefully bringing the infighting to a stop.

At the moment they stopped, one handsome Holy Son dressed in white appeared like a specter atop the altar, his lips revealing a smug smile as he reached out to grab Gold Grade Battle Armor.

Just as he touched the armor, the altar suddenly radiated brightly, forming a huge golden shield that enveloped him and the armor.

The runes around the altar shone, and a number of sharp gold spikes burst out from the altar, piercing that Holy Son.

A mysterious force then traveled through the spikes, immediately sucking the Holy Son dry, turning him into dust.

A wind blew past, scattering the ashes to one side.

Seeing this, everyone's heart turned cold. They had finally cooled down enough to stop fighting and come up to the altar together.

Yue Zhong also came up to observe carefully.

The temple was harboring too many mysteries, if one was not careful, a Type 8 existence could be snuffed out just like an ant.

All around the altar, there were many runes engraved, each of them emitting a strange aura. The Gold Grade Battle Armor was placed right in the middle, and right at the spot where the treasure met the altar, was a silver keyhole.

Seeing that, Yue Zhong's brows furrowed and turned to leave. Such a treasure needed a key to open, with his current strength, he could not break through it. Only a Type 9 or even Type 10 True-God expert would be able to deal with the methods of another True-God expert.

Right as he was about to leave, the crystal silver key within his storage ring began to shudder as though it was alive.

Immediately, he decided to stay, watching them quietly.

Qian Chang Qing swept the entire place a glance, before sighing, "There's no way about it, this treasure needs a key to retrieve. Let's go search for other treasures!"

After that, he turned around without any delay and headed further into the temple.

This palace was a treasury, and there was sure to be other treasures other than this armor. Plenty of Mutant Beast nuclei, leather, scales were placed everywhere. Type 5 Mutant Beast nuclei were piled up as high as mountains. Weapons of all sorts were placed everywhere casually. There was even a treasure on the same level of the Heaven-Piercing Bow.

The remaining Holy Sons and Daughters began to leave, dispersing in other directions, retrieving the various treasures.

Chapter 968: Crumbling of the Temple!

Translator: Kun Editor: TheAlliance

Yue Zhong told Annie, "Take a step back!"

Annie retreated silently.

Yue Zhong sighed a while, thinking deeply, before inserting the key warily.

As the crystal key went into the hole, there was a bright, resplendent gold radiance that shone out of the altar, as the Gold Grade Battle Armor began to exude a terrifying aura, before shooting and latching onto Yue Zhong.

Amidst the radiance, Yue Zhong's body was covered with that Gold Grade Battle Armor, at the same time, a powerful aura began to emit from him. His eyes closed and he did not move.

A powerful will imprint then went into his mind, forming into the True God-expert with golden eyes.

After the True God-expert formed, Yue Zhong's sea of consciousness trembled. He could only quickly summon his avatar within his consciousness.

The True God-expert gazed at Yue Zhong with a look of disdain, as though he was viewing an ant, and barked out, "Pathetic lifeform, I'm the great True God Wade! Stop resisting and surrender your body to me! I will grant you eternal life and endless glory!"

Inside his consciousness, Yue Zhong looked at the True God Wade's avatar, and his eyes were filled with battle intent, "Another lingering will? I've already destroyed you once before, this time, it's not going to be any different!"

"Lingering will? No, within this Gold Battle Armor, it is not just a lingering will, it is an undying strand of my soul! You think that you could obtain the Temple key so easily, enter my Temple, and obtain my treasure, just because of your luck? No, it was all within my calculations. Throughout the ages, among those who had obtained the key and entered this Temple, only your body can handle my soul imprint, and allow me to revive!"

"This avatar of mine is an undying soul strand, and even a True God-expert would find it hard to remove. Just based on you, a mere Type 8 powerhouse, and you want to defeat me? Just hand your body over and be a good slave. Once I stand at the peak once more, I will help you reform another body, and give you eternal life and endless glory. I'm invincible and undefeatable!" Wade glared at Yue Zhong coolly, as though he was an ant, trying to beat down Yue Zhong's sense of self-confidence.

Inside this consciousness, where strength depended on the will and confidence of the expert, if Yue Zhong was to lose hope, Wade would gain an advantage. He might look arrogant and unbridled, but it was all part of his ploy.

"What a joke, if you were really invincible, how come there's only a strand of soul left? Just scram back to your grave!!"

Yue Zhong's mental fortitude was too strong, and he shot forward and fired out a Cosmic Finger, pressing down on Wade.

Wade laughed coldly when he saw that, directly obliterating it, "The Cosmic Finger is my secret technique, you've barely gotten a grasp on it. Break for me!"

After destroying the image of the universe, Wade's palm slapped out, causing an encompassing figure that blotted out the sky to slap down viciously, destroying Yue Zhong's avatar, as pain coursed throughout his body.

In just a second, Yue Zhong's avatar had reformed, and he looked at Wade with a hint of trepidation, "Strong. This soul strand is definitely more than 10 times stronger than the previous lingering will."

After reforming, Yue Zhong continued to launch attacks upon Wade. He had to destroy this soul strand, otherwise, death was all that awaited him.

At the same time, in the temple, the moment Yue Zhong donned on the Gold Battle Armor, there was a surge of strength that emitted out.

"The aura of a Type 9 powerhouse!!"

"That's a Type 9 strength!!"

"..."

The other experts who were searching for treasures turned around, noticing Yue Zhong who had the armor, and their eyes were full of shock and envy.

Qian Chang Qing stared at Yue Zhong, his eyes filled with undisguised jealousy, "How did he do it?"

Hai Yin also stomped his foot, his eyes filled with envy, "Damn it!!! Why isn't it me!!! Why didn't the armor choose me?!"

Hong! Hong! Hong!

When the Gold Battle Armor landed on Yue Zhong's body, the entire Temple began to tremble, as it started to fall apart.

At the areas where the Temple started to disintegrate, spatial tears appear in those places, looking extremely threatening.

One particular Holy Son stood at the edge of the Temple, and when the Temple started falling apart, he was caught in the sudden spatial tear. He only had time to scream out, "Save me!! Save me!!"

Qian Chang Qing swept a glance at the still Yue Zhong, before shouting out, "Run!!"

At that instant, he threw down everything and took the opportunity of the momentarily calm to flee outside.

The rest of the Holy Sons and Daughters also fought to follow after.

Yue Zhong was still immobile, standing near the altar.

Within the human faction, only Annie rushed up to Yue Zhong, grabbing him while he was still exuding a Type 9 aura.

Annie's right hand had just touched the gold radiance, when many golden lights suddenly shot out and sliced her hands, causing blood to flow.

She bore the pain, as she roared out, "Yue Zhong!!! Run!!! The place is going to collapse!!"

However, no matter how she screamed and shouted, Yue Zhong was immobile, as though he was already dead.

"Damn it, Heaven Silk Domain!!"

She had a resolute look as she waved her hands, as countless silk shot out and formed a domain, wrapping around them. With a wave of her hands, the Heaven Silk Domain shrunk and formed 10 main beams, wrapping around Yue Zhong.

As the silk touched the Gold Battle Armor, they were pierced by the golden beams, constantly being worn down. However, with the support of the domain, the silk continued to repair while securing Yue Zhong's figure.

The moment she secured Yue Zhong with the Heaven Silk Domain, she tapped her foot and shot outside.

However, right at that moment, the path ahead collapsed, as a huge spatial tear appeared, swallowing both Annie and Yue Zhong.

As they were being swallowed up by the spatial tear, Annie's face turned pale, and her heart was filled with despair, "Oh no!!"

Even a Type 9 powerhouse with spatial laws would not dare to spend too long in a spatial tear.

Without any protection, a half-step Type 9 powerhouse would be torn apart in an instant, wiped out from this world. Only a person with good enough fortune would be able to pass through the spatial tear and reappear somewhere else.

As Annie was despairing, Yue Zhong, who had been immobile and his eyes shut suddenly opened his eyes, his hand reaching out to pull Annie into the area of defense provided by the Gold Battle Armor, and the both of them fell deeper into the abyss, disappearing within the chaotic space.

Falling into space, Yue Zhong was still engaged in battle with the soul strand of Wade within his consciousness. Both parties continued to slaughter each other, or rather, Yue Zhong was being obliterated over and over again.

Wade's soul strand was incredibly powerful, even after fighting within Yue Zhong's consciousness for so many days, his energy had only been depleted by a mere fraction, and yet, Yue Zhong's avatar had already crumbled tens of thousands of times.

In the process, Yue Zhong's will became weaker, but at the same time, it was being ground and tempered.

Wade stared at the reformed avatar of Yue Zhong, each time his face pale, as he frowned and barked, "Give up, human. You can never best me!! Before I finish expending my energy, your will would have collapsed. No one would be able to help you resurrect then!"

Yue Zhong then retorted, "No!! I might not be able to defeat you now, but it doesn't mean I don't have a way to deal with you! Seal!!"

Immediately, the Radiant Battleship hidden within the void glowed, and the Type 9 Mutant Beast nuclei within began to ignite, allowing the numerous cannons to light up and blast out a hole in the chaotic space, before shooting Yue Zhong and sending his spiraling body out of the space.

At the same time, a powerful sealing power was shot out of the Radiant Battleship, entering Yue Zhong's consciousness, forming a cage that sealed Wade's soul strand within.

Report chapter

True God Wade began roaring madly within the cage, blasting out his numerous techniques, causing the cage to tremble continuously, "Damn it!! Break!!"

The soul strand of a True God expert was incredibly powerful, however, the Radiant Battleship was a treasure capable of tackling God, and even if Yue Zhong could not exhibit the fullest potential of the battleship, utilizing a Type 9 Mutant Beast nuclei was able to form a seal to trap Wade's soul strand.

The Radiant Battleship was Yue Zhong's strongest trump card, as long as he had enough Type 9 Mutant Beast nuclei, he could display a terrifying might. This was why he dared to enter the temple in the first place.

As True God Wade continued to roar, he was forced to a corner within Yue Zhong's consciousness.

Once that was done, he heaved a sigh of relief. The terror of a True God expert was beyond his imagination, and he had originally assumed that since he could surpass a Type 9 powerhouse's will, he would be able to deal with a soul strand from a True God. However, he had to rely on the Radiant Battleship in the end to seal Wade.

"These True Gods powerhouses are truly frightening, even a soul strand is so hard to deal with. If I have to deal with them next time, I had better be prepared. However, this time, I've gained some insights on a soul strand, allowing my own willpower and soul to be refined and tempered further. It would prove beneficial in my breakthrough next time."

After going through the countless battles against a True God expert within his mind, although he had been defeated each time, in the process, he had gained some insights to the usage of a soul strand and his will. It would bring about benefits in the future.

Yue Zhong could obtain such comprehension mainly because he had taken on the lingering will before, and his spirit and willpower had been tempered before. The will was only accessible when one reached the Type 9 realm. Without any tempering, Yue Zhong would only be able to use the Radiant Battleship to seal the True God Wade, and not obtain any understandings.

Suddenly, Yue Zhong felt like his head cooled with water. He mustered his strength to open his eyes, discovering that he had appeared within a cave. Annie was currently using a white towel that was soaked to help him wipe his forehead, her eyes full of concern.

While he was unconscious and protected by the Gold Battle Armor, Annie had been unable to pry his mouth open to feed him any medicine, thus, she could only rely on such an old-fashioned method to care for him.

The moment she saw him open his eyes, she took her hand away quietly, sitting beside him with a cool expression, not saying of concern. From young, she had been aloof, even when she cared for someone, she did not know how to express herself.

Yue Zhong twisted his body, and he suddenly realized he could not control his body, even moving a single finger was extremely difficult.

"Damn it, I can't move!! Shit!!" He frowned, apparently, while his willpower and soul had been tempered, it had suffered greatly. Thus, he was currently extremely weak, and could not coordinate with his physical body.

Had he not utilized the Radiant Battleship at the critical moment, it was likely that his soul would have been ground away by Wade, and his body possessed by him.

Yue Zhong asked, "Where is this place?"

Annie replied, "I'm not too sure myself. It should be another world. There isn't a trace of the strong energy from the Great God World here."

Yue Zhong asked without batting an eyelid, "Other than the Great God World, are there other worlds?"

Annie continued, "Yes, other than the Great God World, there are 800 other worlds. Our Great God World is at the apex, a world where True God warriors lived in ancient times. Although those True Gods had disappeared for some unknown reason, our Great God World still remains as the strongest in the universe, till this date. I don't know much about the other worlds, however, one thing's for sure, the human race is constantly being oppressed everywhere else."

Yue Zhong spoke softly, "These few days, I might be unable to move. I'll have to trouble you."

Although Yue Zhong had suffered greatly from the constant destruction and resurrection of his avatar, he had gained insights into the willpower of a True God. Furthermore, with his powerful God-Devil Physique, as long as he rested, he would recover fully.

"En!"

Suddenly, Annie felt her heart race as she stood up, looking out with a sharp gaze, as she muttered coldly, "There are 3 people, from their aura, it seems they're just ordinary folk at the Type 2 realm."

Yue Zhong sighed, "No, it's alright. Let them come over."

If it were an enemy, Yue Zhong would not hesitate to kill without mercy. However, if it was not an enemy, then he would not go on a rampage as well.

Annie's countenance flashed with a look of bewilderment, as she sat quietly beside Yue Zhong.

"Plucking the Blacksnow Grass here is the best!"

"If we can hand in this amount, our lives would be better!"

"..."

Following some sounds of discussion, 3 young girls wearing clothes made out of leaves came across this cave.

The moment they entered the cave, the 3 of them immediately saw Yue Zhong and Annie and were taken aback.

The one in lead, whose skin was tanned and barefoot, her eyes gleaming with an intelligent light, asked curiously, "Big sister, who are you guys?"

Annie took a look at Yue Zhong, not knowing what to say, she had not been one to tell fibs.

Yue Zhong felt helpless, as he mustered his energy to reply, "I'm Yue Zhong, she's Annie. We're world travelers, and after coming to this world, there was some accident, thus I can only stay here."

The lead girl, who had blue hair, chuckled, "I'm Lan Lan. This is Qing Qing, and the one over there is San Ya. You're injured, why not come to our village to recuperate? My father is a renowned doctor, he can definitely treat you.

"Ok!" Yue Zhong chuckled, he did not think that a small village could produce a doctor capable of helping him. However, he did not reject the kind-hearted actions of others.

Annie then reached out to carry Yue Zhong as though he was a princess as she walked out.

Yue Zhong felt a little helpless and embarrassed in her arms. However, he quickly closed his eyes and took in her scent at such close proximity. At the same time, he could feel the soft yet tender peaks of hers.

"Hehe, they're so close!"

"Sister Annie is so beautiful if only I can grow up to be like her."

"Sister Annie is so pretty, but her man is slightly lacking. Yue Zhong is not fit or strong, nor handsome, why would Sister Annie be with him?"

"..."

The 3 lasses had never seen many outsiders before, thus they just let their guards down, and continued to talk about them in full sight and hearing.

Annie was a Holy Daughter from the Holy Heavens after all. Although she did not speak well, her looks were exceptional, and her charms apparent. As for Yue Zhong, he was heavily injured and looked weak, plus, his ordinary looks really did put him at a disparity when compared with her.

Hearing their words, even the cool expression of Annie broke a little, revealing a beautiful, amused look.

The place where the 3 of them stayed was a small village at the bottom of a valley, where about 50 households lived.

In this village, there had never been a woman as pretty as Annie before, thus, as she carried Yue Zhong in, there was a bustling of discussion as many people gathered round to gawk.

Even so, they were mindful enough not to get too close, just discussing among themselves. Many men stared at Yue Zhong, their gazes filled with envy, wishing that it was them instead,

Lan Lan rushed into a wooden hut, speaking to a middle-aged man whose upper torso was naked, and his pants made of fox fur, saying, "Father, I'm back, there's a man who's injured! Come and take a look!"

The middle-aged man, whose hair was bright blue just like Lan Lan, turned around and was momentarily stunned. Evidently, he was also enraptured by Annie, however, he quickly adjusted his gaze towards Yue Zhong, and smiled while pointing to the bed, "I'm called Yi Da, the doctor of this village. Friend, are you injured? Please lay down here and let me take a look."

Annie quickly placed Yue Zhong down, before standing by his side quietly.

Yi Da walked up to him, reaching out to measure his pulse like a Chinese doctor utilizing traditional Chinese Medicine. He then pressed a little on Yue Zhong' bones, before frowning, "Yue Zhong, from your physique, you seem extremely healthy and full of vitality, without any signs of problems. It seems like your injury is spirit-related?"

Yue Zhong replied, "That's right, I came across a strange beast with 3 eyes, and when the eye of the forehead shone on me, I became like this."

Yi Da had an apologetic expression, "Medicine for spirit-related injuries are incredibly precious, and I don't have any here. It might only be available in the Jiao Beast City. However, us humans cannot enter there. I'm truly sorry, there's nothing I can do for you."

Yue Zhong's perception was strong, he could sense when Yi Da talked about the Jiao Beast City, Lan Lan's body went taut for a second, and her eyes flashed with fear.

He did not pursue the matter, instead, he closed his eyes and began focusing on the Star Luo technique he had learned, and fell asleep.

The Star Luo Truths had been written by a Type 9 powerhouse, and one of the chapters was about training and cultivating the soul. However, it was not useful to powerhouses below the peak-Type 8 realm. Other than that, only a few special cases could actually cultivate it. To Yue Zhong, it was the thing he needed right now.

The atmosphere of the village was relaxing, and the villagers were warm and nice, accepting Yue Zhong and Annie.

The both of them thus stayed in the village.

As Type 8 powerhouses, their physiques were incredible, even if they did not eat or drink for 30 years, they could survive on absorbing the atmospheric energy. However, their bodies would still be weak.

In order to make herself useful, Annie joined the hunting team, employing a few skills and easily convinced the rest of the hunters, becoming their leader.

With her terrifying strength, the Mutant Beasts and wild beasts within the mountains all perished under her lead. The hunting party managed to hunt a staggering amount of meat with zero casualties ever since, bringing in an abundant harvest. Annie had thus become a goddess in many of the villagers' eyes.

On this day, both Yue Zhong and Annie were in a wooden hut, as Yue Zhong laid quietly on the bed, Annie hoisted him up, and began to feed him a bowl of meat soup tenderly. She would blow gently on the spoon before feeding it to Yue Zhong.

Watching him swallow the soup, there was a gentle look in Annie's eyes. These few days, she had already transformed from a lady who did not know how to serve others, into the epitome of a housewife taking care of her sick husband.

It was not a tough thing, as long as one was willing, most could pick it up. Annie was talented and resolute, furthermore, her state of mind was usually calm and steady, thus, these small things did not bog her down.

Lan Lan came bouncing over, looking at Annie, her eyes radiating with idolization as she reached out, "Sister Annie, let me help you!! You should go take a rest, you're just back from hunting, it's been tough on you."

Annie's performance had totally won over all the young men and women of the village. Not only was she adept at hunting, but she also picked things up first, and excelled in them. She cared for Yue Zhong meticulously, not leaving his side unless she had to carry out tasks. The entire village was jealous of this Yue Zhong who was bedridden.

Currently, outside the wooden heart, there were piles and piles of meat, and in the corner of the garden, there were all sorts of fur, leather, and bones from the hunting.

Annie frowned, and patted Lan Lan's hands away, "No, I'll do it myself."

After these few days of interaction, Lan Lan knew that Annie was cold externally but warm inside, she was not angry, just staring at Yue Zhong in envy, "Yue Zhong ah Yue Zhong, I wonder how your ancestors are blessing you, to be able to find such a good woman. Your luck is truly too wonderous, I envy you so much."

Yue Zhong laid on the bed and chuckled when he heard those slightly innocent words, but did not say much.

At this time, 3 youths wearing tiger hides and carrying bows on their backs came into the room, their muscled bodies rippling.

The leader was a handsome youth with long hair, his eyes gazing at Annie with deep infatuation as he kneeled on one knee, declaring, "Sister Annie, I like you! No! I love you!! I love you more than my life!! Please be my woman, I will bring you happiness."

Annie looked at the kneeling youth and frowned, declaring indifferently, "I don't like you. Go out!"

The youth showed a stunned look, as he got up and retreated bitterly.

Another of the youths, Ada, came forward and kneeled, looking at Annie, his eyes also filled with love and passion, "Sister Annie, I like you, marry me. For you, I can give up everything else. As long as you marry me, I will help you look after Yue Zhong till the day he dies."

Lan Lan saw Ada professing his love and was taken aback. He was the top youth highly sought after by most girls in the village and was proud by nature. To think that he would actually kneel because of Annie, and was even willing to help Annie look after Yue Zhong.

Annie's next sentence knocked him out, "I don't like you. Go out!"

Ada chuckled bitterly and stood up solemnly. He asked loudly with unwillingness in his heart, "Why? Sister Annie, how am I not comparable to this fellow here? Why won't you choose me, instead, you would rather spend your life with this crippled trash? If you were to follow me, I will give you happiness!"

Annie frowned and her finger flicked out, causing an energy bolt to slam into Ada's chest, sending him flying out a few meters as he sprawled to the ground, "He's not a crippled trash! The 3 of you, get out of my sight!"

Seeing that she was finally pissed, there was a look of fear in their eyes, as they gritted their teeth and headed out. They did not dare antagonize her further and could sense a terrifying might beneath her fury.

Lan Lan came up to Annie carefully and tried to speak on their behalf, "Sister Annie, don't be angry, they're just in love with you. They did not mean any harm."

"En!" She replied casually, as she continued feeding Yue Zhong while blowing on the soup gently, as though nothing was more important than this.

Seeing him take in the soup, the corners of her mouth lifted in a smile, revealing a satisfied expression, as though she was the most fortunate and blissful woman in the world.

Lan Lan stared in bewilderment, not knowing what in the world was going on, "What's so good about this guy? How is Sister Annie so enamored with him, unbelievable!"

At this moment, San Ya ran in with an ashen face, her voice low and urgent, "Lan Lan, not good, the nobles of the Jiao Beast City are here!!"

"What?! They're here?!" Lan Lan's face turned pale, as her body trembled. She turned to Annie and urged, "Sister Annie, quick, hide! The nobles of the Jiao Beast City are here, those people come here to take our food and women. With your looks, they will not let you off."

Annie placed the spoon down, her perception sweeping out, as she asked Yue Zhong coldly, "23 of them, 21 Type 3, 1 Type 4, 1 Type 2. Take them out?"

Yue Zhong sighed, and shook his head, "Take me out for a look!"

Annie reached out to carry him like a princess once more.

Yue Zhong chuckled helplessly, "Can you switch up the way you carry me?"

Annie grinned, a crafty smile on her face, "Nope, I like this very much!"

Seeing that smile, Yue Zhong could not help but be stunned, captivated by her radiant smile.

With Yue Zhong's current willpower, even the charm techniques of a Type 9 powerhouse was no use to him. Only Annie, without any tricks, her smile full of her feelings, was enough to send Yue Zhong into a daze. His willpower was strong against other spirit techniques, but not a person's heart.

Being stared at by Yue Zhong, Annie was flushed slightly as well. She did not dare to look at him and quickly changed to a piggyback style as she stepped out.

At the entrance of the village, there were a few soldiers in black armor, their figures exuding a cold killing intent, guarding a middle-aged man dressed lavishly while riding a white horse, and another young man dressed in black robes riding a black horse.

The households in the village poured out, bringing out their best food, placing them at the side, while kneeling. Their faces were pale and their bodies trembling.

The middle-aged man on the white horse shot the villagers a look and wrinkled his nose, waving his hands, "Damn it. This rundown place is truly too pathetic. There's nothing good here! Forget it, you, go grab 20 kids, we need to complete Sir Zuo Yi's orders."

One soldier rushed out, and quickly rounded up the kids of the village, throwing them into cages.

The villagers began to bawl and sob.

The village head trembled, his face full of fear as he stepped up and asked, "Esteemed Lord Ives, we had just given the blood sacrifice 3 months ago? Isn't the next time not for another 5 years? Why have you come to take our kids this time?"

Ives shot him a glare, as he roared out savagely, "Lowly commoner, do I need you to teach me how to do my job?! Kneel, otherwise, I'll chop you up!!"

The expression of the village head turned incredibly pale, as he kneeled on the floor hurriedly and kowtowed.

Supported by Annie, Yue Zhong walked out from the wooden hut and immediately saw a number of children aged 5 to 10 being rounded up and thrown into a cage, crying and wailing. The villagers who lost their kids were also crying uncontrollably, kneeling on the floor, not daring to move.

Even the 3 youths who had barged into Yue Zhong's hut earlier were on the ground, their bodies trembling and their faces ashen.

Seeing this, Yue Zhong frowned, and a hint of killing intent erupted. Those kids were obviously intended to be used for demonic practices. Otherwise, there would be no need to cage them.

Ives saw Annie, and his eyes immediately lit up with lust and greed, ordering loudly, "What a beautiful chick!! To think that there would such a high-quality good here! Men, go catch her for me!!"

Hearing his orders, 6 soldiers quickly charged towards Annie.

Annie hoisted Yue Zhong with one hand, pulling out a bat with the other, and sent 6 shadows slamming into the bodies of the 6 soldiers.

In that instant, the 6 Type 3 soldiers were sent flying back, as they doubled over on the floor and trembling with incredible agony.

Under Yue Zhong's instructions, she had already shown mercy, otherwise, with her Type 8 strength, just blowing at them would cause them to disintegrate.

Ives saw how strong she was, and was not upset, instead, looking extremely excited, as he asked, "Great!! What an incredible specimen! I like her!! Baru, who is she?!"

Village Head Baru trembled as he replied, "Sir Ives, she's called Annie, and she is a wandering hunter that had just joined us not long ago."

Ives had an evil look in his eyes as he laughed savagely, threatening, "Annie, kneel down and submit to me. I can make the decision and spare this village from the blood sacrifice. Otherwise, I will kill all these kids, and raze the entire village to the ground. If you don't want to be the cause of their slaughter, surrender now! Become my woman. You only have 30 seconds to consider. By the end, if you cannot answer, I will kill everyone here."

When he waved his hands, his personal guards had already raised their weapons at the children within the cage.

Ives then swept the villagers a gaze, and laughed cruelly, "You people, if you want to leave, go beg her to save you."

"Annie, please, surrender! My son is in their hands!! Please!! Surrender to Ives, he will provide for you!"

"Annie, please, on account that we had sheltered you these few days, please save us."

"..."

The villagers began to kneel, crawling towards Annie as they begged pitifully.

Even the village head Baru came up to Annie, kowtowing profusely, as blood appeared, "Miss Annie, I'm begging you!!! On behalf of our village, please, please save us!! Please!!"

Ives was extremely cunning and knew how to pit others against one another. If Annie did not submit, he would really commit genocide. That was why Baru and the rest could only plead and beg for Annie to sacrifice herself.

Yue Zhong frowned when he saw the sight, and he spoke indifferently, "Kill all of them, leave only 6. Separate that Marquis and the black-robed guy beside him."

"Got it!" Annie replied and with a wave of her hands, a number of transparent silk shot out, instantly slaughtering all of Ives' men.

In an instant, most of the soldiers were sliced up into fine pieces, fresh blood splattering everywhere. It was a gruesome sight.

Before Ives could even express his shock, he, the black-robed man beside him, as well as 4 others were all tied up by the silk and dragged before Yue Zhong.

"What?! Dead!?!'

"What did she do?!"

"She actually slaughtered all the soldiers and even captured Ives!!"

"That was too terrifying!!"

"..."

Seeing how Annie actually slaughtered the soldiers under Ives, the villagers were all full of shock.

Ives was a noble of the Jiao Beast City and had a huge background. If he were to be injured slightly, the entire village would be wiped out by the forces sent by the city.

Compared to Jiao Beast City, this village was nothing much. In these years, many other villages had been wiped out due to the slightest offense of any noble within the city.

The moment they realized the guards of a member of nobility had died in their village, Baru and the rest felt an intense sense of fear and helplessness.

At that instant, the black robes fluttered, revealing a strange monster with the head of a Wyrm, his body covered entirely in grey scales, while wearing a casual outfit over his human-like body.

This Wyrm-head spoke in a growl, "Release me, you damn human scum. Do you know who I am? I'm a member of the Grey Wyrms, and if you lowly humans dare touch a single hair of mine, the entire Grey Wyrm Clan would not let you off!! You guys have offended me, I will definitely tear you limb from limb and cook you alive!"

Ives was also struggling, as he roared out, "This is Sir Sanford, one of the nobles of the Grey Wyrm Clan among the Holy Race! If you guys dare hurt him, the entire village would suffer the wrath of the Holy Race! Your plight would be worse than death!! Release us this instant, and offer your sacrifices!! There is still a chance to appease Sir Sanford!"

"What?! Holy Race!?!"

"He is actually from the Holy Race?"

"Shit, it's over, we actually offended a noble from the Holy Race!"

"..."

The moment they heard the term Holy Race, every one's countenance changed, and they were filled with despair.

Baru began kowtowing once more, pleading profusely, "Annie, please, release Sir Sanford, he's from the Holy Race. If we were to hurt him, even after we die, we will not be let off lightly. The Holy Race would not let us off, and they would round us all up and eat us alive."

"Release him!"

"Annie, release him!"

"..."

The villagers clamored to persuade her. They were extremely afraid of the Holy Race, as it would mean the demise of their entire village.

Facing the begging of the villages, Annie did not do anything, instead, she turned to Yue Zhong and asked, "What do we do? Kill them?"

Her personality was like that, cool and unfeeling. Other than those she cared about, she would not frown even if more died in front of her.

In fact, most of the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Holy Heavens were like that. Only such characters could trudge through the countless challenges and rise to become an overlord.

If she had to change her mind because of unrelated people, or threats, Annie would have died umpteen times over.

Hearing those cold words, the entire village felt a chill, their eyes turning towards Yue Zhong. This seemingly crippled man was the one who decided their fate.

Baru pleaded, "Yue Zhong, please, release the 2 sirs. I'm begging you!!"

Sanford continued to struggle wildly, as he threatened viciously, "Release me, and give me 10 children to feed on! I will spare you guys this once. Otherwise, if you lowly humans dare to hurt me, I will get the Holy Army to round you all up and cook you guys to eat!"

Cries and screams began to ring out, and the entire field turned extremely chaotic. The moment they heard that Sanford wanted to eat 10 children, many of the villagers trembled, crying out, not knowing what to do.

Yue Zhong frowned and ordered, "Knock them out!"

Annie shot out a finger, and she manipulated the atmospheric energy to strike the heads of Ives and his men, knocking them out.

With a wave of Yue Zhong's hands, a number of Puppet Runes entered the brains of Ives and his men.

Yue Zhong then ordered, "Release their bindings!"

Annie waved her hands, and the silk strands tying up the bunch disappeared without a trace.

Sanford woke up immediately, crawling in front of Yue Zhong and spoke, "Your lowly servant Sanford greets Master. I had offended Master previously, and I seek Master's mercy and grace!"

Ives also woke up just then, crawling in front of Yue Zhong as though he was a loyal dog, "Your shameful servant Ives greets Master. I deserve death for my earlier offenses, and seek Master's instructions on how this servant can atone."
