Orderly tyrant

“Your Majesty, are we just retreating like this?”

“Your Majesty, this…”

Inside the vast hall, a group of nine-star civilization royals and important ministers were somewhat dumbfounded.

They had traveled a long way from their homeland, only to retreat like this?

“Silence.”

King Blood Cauldron swept his cold gaze across the hall, and silence was immediately restored.

The Emperor, sitting high above, said calmly, “The Earth civilization obtained the legacy of a previous civilization and buried a great weapon deep within the Earth, capable of annihilating a planet in an instant. What else can we do but retreat?”

“Annihilate a planet?”

The royal ministers below were stunned.

Even star deities, whose power is enough to shake continental plates, would probably be exhausted to death if they wanted to completely shatter and destroy a planet.

Although void creatures have the strength to destroy planets, they generally need to attack with full power multiple times. Only some special races or high-power technological weapons can achieve the instantaneous annihilation of a planet.

Even a nine-star civilization doesn't have such a great weapon. How could Earth produce one?

As expected, it is formed from the core fragments of a level-two civilization…

“But there is no need to worry too much.”

The Emperor said indifferently, “This kind of great weapon used by level-two civilizations to clean up the starry sky cannot maintain its material state for a long time. Each piece can only last for a year or two. How many copies can the Earth civilization produce? We just need to wait a few more years.”

He glanced around and ordered, “Temporarily retreat to Mars and wait.”

After the many royal ministers dispersed, only King Blood Cauldron remained in the hall.

“Brother.”

The Emperor said, “Next, you will be in charge of stationing on Mars. I will now return to Earth.”

“Return to Earth now?” King Blood Cauldron asked in surprise.

“As long as I merge into the void layer, no one on Earth can find me.” The Emperor said indifferently, “The threat of the Earthlings is insignificant to me, but you will have to wait a few years before you can explore the treasures of Earth.”

King Blood Cauldron was silent for a moment, then said, “It's nothing. Although my lifespan is nearing its end, I still have hundreds of thousands of years left. Waiting a few more years is nothing.”

The Emperor nodded slightly and said, “With your accumulation, there is still hope to recognize a void essence and control the void. If the relics of Earth can help you, I will tell you.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” King Blood Cauldron said respectfully.

“I'm leaving.”

Without saying more, the Emperor stood up, and his figure disappeared into the void.

…

Earth.

Inside the defense base, Lin Qing sat quietly cross-legged, cultivating while waiting silently.

Suddenly—

In his perception, the six relic spaces connected to Earth, which were originally calm and without waves, suddenly changed, like a quiet lake into which a stone had been thrown.

Only he, as a star-level Origin Realm citizen, could sense the changes in the six relics.

“Someone has entered the Bronze Demon Mountain!”

Lin Qing immediately unleashed his mental power and transmitted his voice, “Ms. Irenado, have you discovered anyone on Earth entering the Bronze Demon Mountain?”

Irenado immediately replied, “No, I have been observing with my mental power at all times. Do you mean…”

“It seems to be that void creature.”

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qing's mouth, “He came so quickly, he really doesn't take us seriously. Just right… Climbing the Bronze Demon Mountain takes a long time. We can start planning.”

…

Mars.

The massive fleet of the nine-star civilization had entered Mars and stationed there, with a large number of exploration instruments and defense systems being rapidly deployed.

Inside the giant pyramid spaceship, King Blood Cauldron stood in front of a pool filled with viscous liquid, watching the pulsation of the life form within, occasionally ordering the intelligent system to add some special substances or materials.

The unknown life form in the pool trembled from time to time, roaring and causing the liquid in the pool to ripple continuously.

“Experimental subject No. 935 still hasn't reached the goal…”

King Blood Cauldron frowned slightly, “The gene optimization technology based on this has been failing… If this improvement is successful, the gene index should be able to break through the 22000% bottleneck.”

In his life of over a million years since birth, he had always aimed for the void creature.

Even with the talent of a ninth-level energy, being able to sense space, he still found it difficult to understand the essence of the void, unable to see it clearly or recognize it.

So he had to try those stupid methods, trying to understand the essence of various life energies, and also trying to improve his genes as much as possible, so that he would be more stable when he transformed into a void-level life form in the future.

“If I could go to those level-two civilizations for real systematic learning, I probably would have succeeded long ago…”

King Blood Cauldron took a deep breath.

But he also knew clearly in his heart that those level-two civilizations living in the secret realms of the void simply looked down on people like him from a level-one civilization.

Even void creatures had to sign various unequal treaties to truly become a member of a level-two civilization.

This universe is inherently filled with hierarchy and cruelty.

“It's almost time…”

King Blood Cauldron had a strong expectation in his heart, “Earth is my greatest opportunity…”

Suddenly—

“Lord Governor.”

The spaceship's intelligent system prompt sounded, “The warning system deployed near Mars has detected a Zhishen race member, the elder 'Kadoan' of the Yuanchen civilization.”

“An elder of the Yuanchen civilization?” King Blood Cauldron said calmly, “The main force of the Yuanchen civilization and the Seventh Prince were destroyed by the Earthlings, right? I didn't expect Kadoan to still be alive?”

The intelligent system replied, “Judging from Kadoan's spaceship data, he should have been away from Mars that day, so he escaped.”

King Blood Cauldron said casually, “Regardless of whether it's true or false, let him say everything he knows.”

“Yes.” The intelligent system said, “Kadoan said he knows a secret of the Earthlings and requests to meet His Majesty the Emperor.”

“His Majesty is not here.”

King Blood Cauldron said calmly, “This matter will be handled entirely by me. After thoroughly examining him, arrange for him to see me.”

“Yes.”

…

Ten minutes later.

Inside the vast hall, King Blood Cauldron looked at the silver-haired old man below and said, “Kadoan, an elder-level figure of the Yuanchen civilization, took the initiative to seize and downgrade to enter Earth in order to find the ninth-level energy genius of the Three-Eyed race, is that correct?”

“Greetings, King Blood Cauldron,” the silver-haired old man said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“Speak.”

King Blood Cauldron said indifferently, “What is the secret of the Earthlings that you mentioned?”

The silver-haired old man looked at the two guard leaders beside him and asked hesitantly, “I wonder where His Majesty the Emperor is?”

“You are not qualified to see His Majesty.” King Blood Cauldron frowned slightly and said, “If the secret you speak of is truly useful to His Majesty, you will naturally be given the opportunity to see His Majesty.”

“Since that's the case, please take a look, King Blood Cauldron.”

With a flip of his hand, the silver-haired old man suddenly took out a precision and compact spherical instrument, and then with a force of his fingertip, he crushed it.

In an instant, an invisible wave spread out, filling the hall.

At this moment, all the devices used to log into the Second Universe Network were instantly blinded, and the consciousness sensing was interrupted.

“Hmm?” King Blood Cauldron's eyes turned cold.

“Presumptuous!”

The two guard leaders with the strength of the ninth level of the Star Abyss also became alert in an instant.

Although Kadoan's strength was weak and insignificant, this act of blocking the login devices of the Second Universe Network was very strange!

Just then—

A ray of light suddenly flew out from the center of Kadoan's eyebrows, and the spatial scale where the ray of light was located also expanded sharply, turning into a naked young man in the blink of an eye.

“Lin Qing?”

King Blood Cauldron instantly recognized the other party, and couldn't help but become more suspicious, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.

The moment Lin Qing was reborn, the vertical eye in the center of his eyebrows also lit up, and then—

“Boom!!”

The terrifying energy impact erupted suddenly, rolling in all directions, and the space twisted and rippled!

In this incomparably solid eighth-order spaceship, even an attack from the tenth level of the Star Abyss was difficult to break, and the sealed hall completely withstood this terrifying explosion!

“What is this?”

King Blood Cauldron's pupils shrank, and a scarlet cauldron phantom immediately appeared on the surface of his body, and terrifying power instantly enveloped him completely.

The two guard leaders also tried their best to resist the explosive impact.

Although the terrifying energy impact that erupted in this instant was very powerful, they could still resist it with their strength of the ninth level of the Star Abyss.

Lin Qing took this opportunity to release the Black Flame clone from the center of his eyebrows again.

“Merge!”

In the midst of the violent and chaotic energy impact, the Black Flame clone burned with black flames all over his body, and immediately turned into a ray of light and merged into Lin Qing's body.

The powerful foundation brought by the fusion technique suddenly caused Lin Qing's aura to skyrocket.

“That's enough.”

Lin Qing suddenly flipped his hand and took out a dark red metal plate.

—This was the 'Life Plate' he had obtained from Kadoan, which had the magical ability to deprive life!

“My… one million and three hundred thousand years of life, leaving only ten thousand years, all the rest are invested in the Life Plate to use life deprivation!”

At this moment, as Lin Qing's mind urged this strange Life Plate, his vitality also began to be drawn away by this Life Plate at a terrifying speed.

One million and three hundred thousand years of life was really too huge, and it would take some time for this Life Plate to absorb it.

Lin Qing didn't care, he just maintained the impact of the world god energy, in this hall with a range of only a few hundred meters, the world god couldn't take shape.

However, he stretched out his right hand, and the streamers transformed by the divine weapons quickly condensed and collapsed, turning into a pure, lightless darkness, like a black hole, exuding an endless aura of silence.

“Lin Qing!”

As expected, the two guard leaders with relatively ordinary strength were suppressed by the impact of the world god energy, while King Blood Cauldron forcibly tore through the impact of the world god energy under the protection of endless blood-red light, and killed Lin Qing.

“The strength of being close to the tenth level of the Star Abyss is indeed powerful…”

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, constantly absorbing the world god energy, and also constantly releasing the world god energy, maintaining the explosive impact in the cycle, so as to suppress King Blood Cauldron as much as possible.

King Blood Cauldron, shrouded in the phantom of the blood-red cauldron, turned into a scarlet meteor, directly crashing towards Lin Qing.

Wherever he passed, the space rippled violently like a tide!

Even if suppressed by the impact of the world god energy, its power was still terrifying!

“Primal Annihilation!”

With a wave of Lin Qing's hand, that pure darkness that devoured and annihilated everything turned into a narrow dark blade, directly迎向King Blood Cauldron!

When the scarlet meteor transformed by King Blood Cauldron collided with the dark blade, he only felt that the amazing devouring power was surging wildly, rapidly absorbing and annihilating his energy. Even if the power he displayed was large enough, it was like being sucked by endless gravity, and the energy began to flow continuously.

“What kind of divine skill is this? Is it a combined divine skill?”

King Blood Cauldron became more and more shocked, and his heart was full of disbelief, “A little guy who is not even a star deity actually has this kind of strength? The top geniuses in level-two civilizations can master combined divine skills, does Earth have this kind of genius?”

He didn't know that Lin Qing was only using seventh-level energy divine skills, and only relied on his powerful gene index and the soaring basic attributes after fusion to be able to exert such strength.

If it were an eighth-level energy divine skill, the world god impact at the face-to-face would have annihilated him!

“Kill him!”

Under the shock of King Blood Cauldron, he became more and more desperate, but that terrifying divine skill that annihilated and devoured everything like a black hole forcibly restrained him again and again, and the constantly impacting terrifying energy around him suppressed him, making it difficult for him to exert his power.

Lin Qing constantly resisted King Blood Cauldron's offensive, and his heart also relaxed: “Although I am not an opponent, I can still resist…”

King Blood Cauldron's strength was very strong, close to the tenth level of the Star Abyss.

After he used the fusion technique, he was also at the peak of the ninth level of the Star Abyss within ten seconds. At this time, he was also wholeheartedly delaying and defending, so he could naturally block it.

“One second is enough…”

Lin Qing allowed his vitality to pour out like a flood, constantly being extracted by the Life Plate, and only focused on defense.

“What's going on with this Lin Qing?” King Blood Cauldron attacked frantically, but still couldn't understand, and couldn't defeat him. What was the point of doing this?

It was obvious that there were other purposes, but he couldn't think of it.

Suddenly—

“Enough!”

Lin Qing sensed that the Life Plate in his body had absorbed one million and two hundred and ninety thousand years of his life. That huge vitality was completely integrated into the Life Plate, and then transformed into a strange and terrifying power!

In an instant, a strange scarlet light flew out from his body, and instantly submerged into King Blood Cauldron's body at the speed of light.

“Life, deprivation!”

“Hmm? This is…”

King Blood Cauldron only felt a flash of scarlet light, and he found that his vitality began to decline at a terrifying speed, constantly being annihilated and melted by that strange power!

Almost every second, his lifespan would decrease by tens of thousands of years!

“What is this!”

King Blood Cauldron felt his frantically passing lifespan, and couldn't help but become more shocked and frightened, and his offensive became more and more crazy.

He only had four hundred and tens of thousands of years of life left, but he lost almost fifty thousand years of life every second!

“Sure enough…”

Lin Qing constantly resisted the other party's offensive, and sneered in his heart: “One portion of my lifespan can almost reduce King Blood Cauldron's five portions of lifespan. It seems that my gene index is five times his?”

This life deprivation is actually a life confrontation offset, and the quality of vitality mainly depends on the level of life and the gene index.

He and the Blood Cauldron King were both at the ultimate Star Creature level, but his genetic index was over a thousand times the universal standard, while the Blood Cauldron King's was probably only a little over two hundred times.

The one million two hundred and ninety thousand years of lifespan he had just poured in could theoretically shave off more than six million years of the Blood Cauldron King's life!

Nine seconds later—

"I'm not willing! I'm not willing!"

The Blood Cauldron King let out an angry roar, and his whole being lost all vitality, completely shattering like a sand sculpture, turning into nothingness in the energy shock.

At the same time, Lin Qing also felt the Eternal Gate in his mind take a soul into it.
