Chapter 8: One Strike Slays the Venerable One
"NO.3 has left the initial universe and its whereabouts are unknown. Quickly, gather all the data and find out its destination."
"Send this intelligence to headquarters immediately so they can prepare accordingly."
"Yes"
........
Demon Realm, Blood Demon Secret Realm
Intelligence indicates that this secret realm is guarded only by a mid-level cosmic venerable from the Thousand-Legged Centipede Clan.
Gao Ya stored the immortal servant in his world ring, tore open space, and stepped into it.
"Human, how dare you trespass into my demon race's secret realm! You're courting death!"
Boom!
The ground suddenly shook as if an avalanche had occurred.
A demon lord, tens of meters tall and possessing thousands of legs, slammed towards Gao Ya, enveloped in a crimson-black light.
"Isn't he a mid-level Venerable?" Gao Ya sensed a power from the demon race Venerable's attack that was usually only possessed by a high-level Venerable.
"Never mind, it doesn't make much difference."
His ultimate realm as a king, combined with ten thousand times the level of his life genes and a hundred times the amplitude of his body, already possessed 1000 billion times the power of a realm lord, equivalent to a hundred times the power of a gene universe lord.
Add to that a supreme secret technique at the level of a universe master... but unfortunately, he only possesses an ordinary treasure; it's already quite an achievement that he can unleash the power of a supreme secret technique at the level of a universe overlord.
Overall, he possesses at least the combat power of a quasi-first-tier universe master, so defeating a high-level Venerable who is a hundred times weaker than him shouldn't be a problem.
Divine body burning!
stab
Gao Ya clenched his fist, and endless lightning instantly enveloped hundreds of millions of kilometers. The crackling lightning magma, like mud, greatly reduced the speed of the demon venerable, preventing him from even fully unleashing his own power.
"You think you can trap me with a mere ordinary treasure of the domain type!" The demon lord slammed down his hammer, the immense power nearly shattering the spherical domain.
"Break!" His second hammer blow followed immediately.
Gao Ya's lips curled slightly as he flipped his hand and unleashed a silver fox...
"Severing Time with a Single Slash"
"Bang!" The demon clan venerable's treasured iron hammer, instead of being cleaved by the blade, struck him directly.
The lingering force of the attack, not yet neutralized, carried incredible power, instantly striking his heavily armored weapon.
Click!
The precious armor shattered instantly!
"How is this possible?" The demon lord's blood-red pupils were filled with shock and disbelief.
Rumble~~~~~
The demon lord was thrown away without resistance, like a broken sandbag; his divine body trembled under the impact.
Divine body -1%, -2%, -3%...-99%!
In the blink of an eye, the demon lord's eyes dimmed, and his consciousness vanished.
"Enslavement!" Gao Ya unleashed a secret enslavement technique, his soul power piercing into the body of the demon lord, planting his own soul imprint.
He could have killed the demon lord with a single strike.
But considering he didn't have any decent servants, he showed mercy.
Lifting the body of the demon lord, he found the Blood Demon Tree, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers in the secret realm.
The air around the tree was filled with the metallic, bloody stench.
The branches, like congealed blood, twist and gnarled upwards, each twig laden with distorted fruits.
Some resembled clenched baby fists, with dark red juice oozing from the knuckles, and the veins on the peel were clearly visible.
Some resembled miniature animal skulls, with a ghostly red glow emanating from their eye sockets and fine bits of blood clinging to their teeth.
"What the hell?" Gao Ya felt a bit nauseous looking at it, so he released his immortal servant and had him pick fruit.
This was the perfect time for the Blood Demon Fruit to ripen, with tens of thousands of them hanging from the tree.
After handing over the thousand to the company, he absorbed the rest into the body of the demon lord.
The Blood Demon Fruit has the power to restore one's divine body, which is why it is guarded by a demon lord.
However, this thing is best suited for use by Immortal Realm experts; its effect is reduced by at least two-thirds for Venerable Realm experts, and the stronger the expert, the worse the effect.
Fortunately, he provided enough quantity to wake up this demon venerable one.
Gao Ya took the Demon Lord into his World Ring, left the secret realm with his immortal servants, and teleported out of the Demon Realm through his divine kingdom.
a few hours later
A man nearly 10 kilometers tall, with snow-white fur all over his body and a huge, blood-red vertical eye on his face, appeared in the secret realm.
"Where are they?" His soul force swept across the secret realm, but he couldn't find the Star King, nor even Venerable Kaguya.
"Could the intelligence be wrong?"
With a thought, the man unleashed his soul power, which spread like a giant net over the entire secret realm, repeatedly probing every inch of its space.
A moment later, he extracted an extremely faint aura of demonic energy and a powerful aura of human energy from the layers of space and held them in his palm.
The man's brows furrowed instantly, and the cold light in his eyes almost solidified.
A mere Immortal King could actually send a High-Level Venerable into a deep slumber!
In such a short time, Star King has already acquired the combat power of a cosmic overlord!
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the man quickly left the secret realm; he needed to report this shocking news immediately.
Losing a high-level Venerable was already painful enough, but now the human race has produced another heaven-defying powerhouse.
It's truly one wave after another.
Two months later
Not far from the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, in the starry sky, the Cosmic Venerable of the Thousand-Legged Centipede Clan awoke from his slumber.
"Owner"
"Hmm, what's your name?"
"My name is Edgar, and my title is Venerable Kaguya."
"How much of your divine body have you recovered now?"
"10%"
"Alright, I'll find a way to shrink the rest of the divine body to my size later. Come with me."
"Yes, Master."
Gao Ya walked ahead, with Venerable Kaguya following closely behind. The two arrived at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.
"My lord," a white-robed immortal deity in charge of the reception stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Prepare the spaceship, heading to Chaos City."
"Yes"
The immortal god in white robes glanced at the centipede-like demon race behind him, and was so shocked he almost fainted. He quickly averted his gaze and prepared to leave for his spaceship.
Initial Universe Reception Hall
Having waited for half a month, Mi Lu glanced at the more than 500 people in the hall and couldn't help but mutter, "Too slow. At this rate of arrival, we'll probably have to wait another half a month."
"Who can argue with that? But it'll all fade into oblivion by now."
"Be patient, there's no use in rushing."
Just then, an immortal deity strode into the hall and shouted, "The initial universe portal is opening immediately! Everyone, assemble here and board the spaceship!"
"Huh? We still don't have enough people?"
"Why do you care so much? Just let me in."
The middle-aged realm lord, who knew some of the inside story, said, "In this situation, it's likely that some important figure is heading to the Initial Universe."
"Is it that powerful? What kind of important figure can open the Initial Universe Portal alone?"
"According to the family's powerful members, they must at least be core geniuses of the five major forces or experts at the King-level or above."
Amidst the curious conversation, the people in the hall quickly lined up before the immortal god and boarded a dark blue spaceship with a massive belly.
Shortly after, a deep sound rang out from the outside, and the spaceship entered the spatial tunnel.
Gao Ya sat in the luxurious quiet room, twirling a wine glass in his hand, admiring the starry sky of the primordial universe.
This enjoyment didn't last long before the spaceship arrived above a chaotic city.
"My lord, we've arrived at Chaos City," the ship's owner personally and respectfully announced.
"Um"
Gao Ya glanced at the extremely respectful ship owner, nodded, and walked outside.
Along the corridor...
Amidst the respectful presence of the King-level Immortal-class ship owners, Immortal-class crew members, and Realm Lord crew members, Gao Ya stepped out of the hatch.
Then the other passengers emerged one by one, and upon seeing this scene, they whispered, "Who is that? Even the ship owner is being so respectful?"
"Perhaps it's some supreme being of the universe."
"That's amazing!"
"Look, even the black-clad messenger from Chaos City who came to greet us is bowing respectfully to him."
The passengers whispered among themselves
Many realm lords who were visiting Chaos City for the first time stared at the distant figure, their hearts filled with longing. They wished they could be so majestic someday.
