Chapter 123 The Secret of King Kan Shuo
Tu Yu tore open the energy shield of a pyramid and then put it away.
With the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom destroyed, its power was greatly reduced.
So Qi Yuan pressed on and, with the help of the Dark Assassin King, quickly acquired another white pyramid.
In this way, the power of the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom will be almost completely destroyed.
King Chanshuo was heartbroken; he had suffered a huge loss this time.
Not to mention that the Nine Absolute Divine Kingdom lost two tower foundations, the Annihilation Aurora, which was its trump card, was also a priceless treasure. It was used up just like that, without achieving the results he wanted. How could he not feel heartbroken!
However, he knew it was time to leave; he had no chance of winning since the first white pyramid had been taken away.
Based on Kunpeng King's battle record, Chanshuo King felt that his strength was definitely no less than his.
However, the Kunpeng King possesses a powerful armor, giving him an invincible advantage from the start.
"Fine, I'll find another chance to kill him later!"
King Chanshuo put away the remaining seven white pyramids and prepared to leave.
The Kunpeng King transformed into an endless array of enormous Kun fish, instantly becoming more sensitive to the laws of space.
He instantly sensed the location of the spaceship carrying King Chanshuo, and teleported inside.
"Hmph! They think they can just fight whenever they want and leave whenever they want? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
"Impossible! How could you possibly have found my coordinates?"
King Kan Shuo was taken aback. His spaceship represented the highest level of technology in the Immortal stage. Logically speaking, unless one was a cosmic venerable, it would be difficult to detect the spaceship's presence.
However, the Kunpeng King is not only a special life form with an extremely high genetic level, but also possesses a talent and secret technique in the field of spacetime laws, so naturally his perception in this area is more acute than that of most invincible kings.
Qi Yuan didn't bother with any pleasantries and charged straight at him.
He used the Beast God's Way secret techniques he had created one by one, and gradually perfected them in the midst of exhilarating battles.
Since the mechanical race has no soul, Qi Yuan's Illusion Warrior Secret Technique can only exert the effect of a pure warrior secret technique.
Although Qi Yuan cannot burn divine power, his genetic level is very high. Overall, his combat power is close to that of an invincible king.
After burning his divine power, King Chanshuo's strength surpassed the typical limit of a king.
Moreover, with the assistance of various technological weapons, the mechanical race can often unleash combat power far exceeding his own level.
However, because the battle in the Nine Absolute Divine Realm had already exposed all his trump cards, his strength was now diminished without the aid of technological weapons.
In this way, he was naturally no match for Qi Yuan.
The Demon Queen cast a spatial blockade on the outermost edge, keeping the Shining King at a distance.
With the protection of the Dark Thorn Armor, the Dark Thorn King directly engaged in battle with the Illuminating King, helping Qi Yuan to hold him back and prevent him from escaping the battlefield.
The more Qi Yuan's main body, Tu Yu, fought, the more excited he became. Inspiration flowed into his mind, his attacks grew stronger, his movements became faster, and his self-created Beast God Path secret technique became more and more complete.
King Wen Shuo grew increasingly alarmed. This Kunpeng King hadn't even unleashed his divine power yet, and his attack power was already so formidable. Most astonishingly, he was still growing stronger; his techniques were actually being refined and elevated during the battle.
King Chanshuo wanted to run but couldn't. Fortunately, he was very strong and his defense was among the best of the mechanical kings. So he was at a disadvantage for a while, but his life was not in danger for the time being.
"Kunpeng King, you can't kill me! Unless you're willing to drag this out for a long time, but we all know that the battlefield outside the domain is constantly changing, and everyone has the support of their respective allies. It's impossible to fight for a long time, for years or even decades—this time, I launched the attack on you, and the mistake was mine. I can offer you some compensation, and how about we turn hostility into friendship?"
King Chanshuo offered a way out for both sides, intending to end this battle that was destined to have no conclusion.
He understood that he alone, or even if he invited one or two more invincible kings, would not be able to kill the Kunpeng King unless he could break through the Qingguang Armor's defenses.
"Well, I'm no match for him today, so I'll just have to give up my wealth to avoid disaster. It seems I can only tell my master this secret so he can take the Qingguang Armor and dig out the treasure of the Starlight Clan's Universe Lord! Alas, what a pity!" He sighed repeatedly in his heart.
The Machine race has a tradition of recognizing a master through its core program.
The recognition of masters ascends in a pyramid-like structure, with each level recognizing the next master. For example, several domain lords recognize one realm lord, and several realm lords recognize one immortal god.
Finally, the Machine Race Father God became the highest being in the pyramid, the ultimate endpoint of the entire Machine Race's master recognition process.
It is precisely because of this tradition of recognizing masters at different levels that the Machine Race has a very high degree of unity, second only to the Crystal Race among the six top races in the universe.
Of course, the machine race does not have a soul; their recognition of a master is based on the core program, which is very different from soul enslavement.
The mechanical race's father god decreed that if a person's strength surpasses that of their master, then the master-servant relationship between them must be dissolved.
Clearly, the master of the King of Illumination is a cosmic venerable of the mechanical race.
He originally planned to seize the Star Clan's treasure, rise to power, become a cosmic venerable, and break free from the master-slave relationship.
However, since he couldn't defeat the opponent, the original plan was obviously no longer feasible. He could only hand over the secret and let his master deal with the Kunpeng King. His master would eat the meat, and he would drink some soup.
Unfortunately, Qi Yuan completely ignored Chan Shuo Wang's words of surrender, as he was completely absorbed in the enlightenment of the battle.
The laws he has comprehended over the years, the various secret techniques he has learned, the enemies he has encountered, especially the opponents that the Lord of Darkness, his teacher, specially arranged for him in the virtual universe—
These inspirations and memories converged in his mind, were honed in battle, and refined.
suddenly.
"Tear the sky with one claw!"
The Kunpeng King's two sharp claws suddenly slashed across Wen Shuo King's chest, and the fierce beast god aura made Wen Shuo King feel suffocated.
This move made him smell the scent of death.
His body shattered in two with a tearing sound. The beast god's intent contained in that ultimate technique was still relentlessly annihilating his divine body, and his immortal divine power continued to decline.
"One move was enough to destroy 5% of my divine body. If it were to come in another twenty or thirty moves, wouldn't I be doomed!"
How did he suddenly become so strong?
King Chanshuo was filled with shock and fear.
The shock stemmed from the rapid increase in the Kunpeng King's strength; he was even able to break through during battle, which was extremely rare.
Living beings are more likely to break through in battle because the stimulation of life pushes their potential to its limit. For ordinary people, breakthroughs usually occur when inspiration strikes during battle, followed by seclusion and cultivation. It is relatively rare to break through directly in battle by seizing that inspiration.
His fear stemmed from the fact that his breakthrough in combat power now posed a threat to his life.
Even if Qi Yuan's Tu Yu main body could kill him, it would take a very long time, which was simply unrealistic, because the mechanical race's King Feng would definitely come to save him.
However, once Qi Yuan's original Beast God Path secret technique broke through to its peak, it meant that he could kill him in a very short time, which is why King Chan Shuo was terrified.
Creating a pinnacle technique means that Qi Yuan's strength has truly entered the level of being invincible at the King level, instead of relying on treasures and defensive power as before to be considered invincible at the King level.
As a result, Qi Yuan's attacks became even more ferocious and relentless.
King Wen Shuo's divine body was shattered time and time again, only to be reassembled each time.
Each shattering resulted in a significant loss of immortal divine power, at least 5% or more.
Almost instantly, King Chan Shuo endured more than a dozen attacks, and more than half of his divine body was annihilated.
He had already frantically sought help from his own people, but reinforcements couldn't arrive so quickly, and King Chanshuo was already in despair.
"King Kunpeng, spare me! If you spare me this time, I can tell you a secret, a secret that involves the treasure of the Lord of Starlight!"
Seeing that he was about to perish under Qi Yuan's attack, King Wen Shuo could no longer keep the secret.
If they perish, it's unknown how long it will take before they are resurrected.
If too much time passes, the treasure might be taken by someone else.
After all, he himself was able to obtain this secret from the remnants of the Star Clan by chance, and there's no guarantee that others might also find out about it from somewhere.
Moreover, each resurrection incurs enormous costs, requiring countless epochs of sacrifice to repay, during which time any progress in strength is practically impossible.
Therefore, dying is a very unwise and helpless choice.
Instead of doing that, why not cooperate with the Kunpeng King to obtain the treasure, and then each of us can use our own methods?
"Um?"
Upon hearing his words, Qi Yuan abruptly stopped his attack, pressing his claws against Chan Shuo Wang's chest. "Speak, what secret?"
"The treasured armor you wear, the 'Clear Light Armor,' is the key to unlocking the Star Lord's treasure."
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
"I don't know the specifics either; we'll only find out when we reach the gates of that treasure."
Qi Yuan looked at him and pressed, "Where is the treasure located?"
"Heh, do you think I can say it now? And if I did, would you still let me go?"
"If you don't tell me, how will I know if you're lying to me?"
"Then let's see if you dare to gamble. Either kill me, or release me and join forces with me to retrieve the treasure of the Lord of the Universe!"
An endless stream of data flashed in the eyes of the King of Illumination, calculating all sorts of possibilities.
"When are we going to open the treasure?" The Kunpeng King released its claws from his chest.
"Each era can only be opened once. We will contact each other again in ten thousand years." King Chanshuo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Qi Yuan stopped him, "One thing at a time. Hand over all the treasures you have. This is the ransom for your life."
King Chanshuo was momentarily speechless, then helplessly tossed a world ring to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan recognized the world ring as his own, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered a large number of precious treasures inside.
"Not enough." He shook his head, his tone firm.
King Chanshuo paused for a moment, then ran over with another world ring.
After checking the contents, Qi Yuan said, "It's still not enough."
"Don't go too far—this is already most of my assets. Do you really want to take advantage of me completely? You might as well just kill me!" King Kan Shuo was furious.
"Fine, since you're unwilling to part with your money and treasures, then I'll kill you!"
"Wait a minute, you don't want the Star Lord's treasure anymore?" King Chanshuo was startled.
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." The benefit you gain first is the one you truly benefit from!
Seeing that the Kunpeng King was really going to kill him, the Chanshuo King had no choice but to submit and give all his treasures to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan even personally inspected the place, leaving him with only a spaceship.
"Not bad, King Chan Shuo is quite wealthy. This harvest is enough for King Dark Assassin to exchange for a few Illusionary Demon Eyes."
Qi Yuan did a preliminary review of his findings and was secretly delighted.
"Xiao Jiu, carefully sort through all the items we snatched from King Kan Shuo, and see if there are any clues about the Star Lord's treasure. Also, investigate the specific origin of my Qingguang Armor," he instructed Xiao Jiu.
Qi Yuan and his companions embarked on their journey once more, and the Demon Queen began healing herself again, restoring her immortal divine power.
As the Kunpeng King's spaceship sailed away, a look of madness flashed in Kan Shuo King's eyes.
"Damn it, they robbed me of everything! If you won't let me have a good time, I won't let you have one either. Don't blame me for bringing the master here!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.
He didn't actually want to share the spoils with his master, because that would only give him a small portion. If he missed this opportunity, would he ever have another chance to rise to power?
But there was nothing he could do; he was no match for the Kunpeng King.
The Netherworld Sea is vast and boundless, occupying more than half of the entire Sinking Star Continent.
The entire ocean was a dark red, deep sea, exuding a faint sense of power, containing negative emotions such as despair, bleakness, and sorrow.
The closer we flew to the center of the sea, the stronger the impact on our will became.
By the time they approached the second island, that desperate will had reached the limit of the crowning stage.
It seemed as if I could hear the roars of monsters and the wailing of ghosts and gods.
It was as if someone was uttering a desperate curse.
A sense of sorrow and despair spread out, and within that despair lay endless hatred.
"Master, this aura is said to have been born after the fall of the Star Lord. It contains his hatred for the four supreme races and his despair over the innocent annihilation of the Star Clan—"
Xiao Jiu's voice suddenly rang out.
Qi Yuan and his group fell silent.
"This is the universe. The Star Clan may be innocent, but they are weak and happen to have something that the four top races covet. This is called 'possessing a treasure and being punished.' The universe is just like this, where the strong prey on the weak!" Qi Yuan sighed.
Xiao Jiu said, "Master, we've found out the origin of the Qingguang Armor. It's said to have first appeared in the tomb of a Starlight Clan descendant, then was fought over by various parties, and finally fell into the hands of the human Golden Ring Venerable. However, the Qingguang Armor was somewhat damaged at the time, and Golden Ring Venerable traded it to the company's Qianwu branch, originally intending to put it at a high-level auction, but then—"
Clearly, apart from King Kan Shuo, no one else knew the secret of the Qing Guang Armor.
