Under Han Jue's perfect control, Han Xinwang was severely injured, his divine body damaged just enough to force him into deep unconsciousness.
In that state, with almost no ability to resist, the Zerg Queen was enslaved by Han Xi's soul technique.
Having such a Zerg Queen at the Invincible King level was a considerable threat even to ordinary Universe Venerables. For Han Xi, it represented a massive boost to her combat strength.
"Father."
Han Huan bowed respectfully.
From the moment Han Jue appeared to crushing the treasure and instantly killing the two attackers, only a brief instant had passed.
"Tell me what happened," Han Jue said.
First targeted by the demon race, now by the Zerg. Would the machine race be next? Or would all three simply join forces?
Han Huan immediately recounted the entire sequence of events.
"Zerg... demon race..." Han Jue murmured thoughtfully.
"Alright. You two have both reached the Invincible King level now, there's no reason for you to stay on this extraterritorial battlefield any longer. Come back to human territory with me. When you break through to the Universe Venerable realm, you can return," Han Jue said.
"But Father, " Han Huan looked up suddenly, wanting to protest.
"Hmm? What are your thoughts?" Han Jue didn't mind hearing their opinions.
"...It's nothing." Han Huan shook his head.
After reaching the Invincible King realm, staying on the extraterritorial battlefield truly served little purpose and would only attract attacks from alien races, potentially even affecting Han Jue himself.
Since that was the case, it would be better to go to Chaos City, establish a sect, comprehend the laws, and strive to break through to the Universe Venerable realm as soon as possible. That way, they could become the true backbone of the human race and help Han Jue in the future.
"If there's nothing else, let's go."
Han Jue took them both and returned directly to human territory through his divine kingdom's teleportation. He sent the two into seclusion in Chaos City while he returned to Earth to continue what he'd left unfinished.
Ganwu Secret Realm, Ganwu Universe Country
"Investigate! Investigate everything!"
Within the Ganwu Secret Realm of Ganwu Universe Country, King Ganwu roared in fury.
"That Iron Bone King was actually a Zerg spy! Thoroughly investigate whether there are any other alien spies within Ganwu Universe Country!"
King Ganwu was absolutely livid about the assassination attempt on Han Huan.
The Earth lineage, or more accurately, Han Jue himself, was a powerful figure he needed to curry favor with to repay his debts!
If Han Jue harbored resentment toward him because of this incident, the loss would be catastrophic!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The many Immortals below trembled, witnessing King Ganwu this angry for the first time. Even the death of his own son hadn't provoked such an intense emotional reaction.
"Teacher."
A bald man in white robes appeared in the palace hall.
Upon seeing this figure, King Ganwu's anger subsided considerably as he said kindly, "Good disciple, how did it go? What did Venerable Starry Sea say?"
Lei Shen shook his head slightly. "Master, Han Jue said that Han Huan has been brought back by him. This time, the Zerg Alliance sent a Universe Overlord who was already killed by Han Jue. However, he didn't mention anything about Iron Bone King, he only briefly recounted the events."
"Is that so... Wait, a Universe Overlord, killed by Han Jue?" King Ganwu was shocked.
Did Han Jue possess such strength before?
Even a top-tier Universe Overlord couldn't kill another Universe Overlord, could they?
"Could it be... that he's broken through?" King Ganwu couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but I heard the Universe Overlord was instantly killed by Han Jue," Lei Shen shook his head.
"Instantly killed..."
King Ganwu immediately realized that Han Jue had definitely broken through. He'd officially reached the Universe Venerable realm, and upon breakthrough, he possessed the combat power of a true Universe Master!
Moreover, he was definitely stronger than the Lord of Sirius, probably comparable to a third-tier Universe Master.
"Quickly, go apologize to Han Jue!" King Ganwu immediately ordered.
"Teacher, you're even poorer than I am," Lei Shen kindly reminded him.
As a high-level Universe Venerable, King Ganwu didn't possess any supreme treasures. Lei Shen, on the other hand, possessed a melee-type supreme treasure sword that Han Jue had given him after his breakthrough to Immortality, making him far wealthier than King Ganwu.
King Ganwu froze.
Yes, what could he possibly offer Han Jue as an apology? The only valuable thing he possessed now was probably Ganwu Universe Country itself, right?
Could he give the entire Ganwu Universe Country to Han Jue?
It seemed... not impossible?
"Never mind all that, let's apologize first!" King Ganwu glanced at Lei Shen.
"Good disciple, come with me."
Lei Shen was somewhat helpless but could only nod obediently.
King Ganwu had indeed treated him extremely well.
Earth
Han Jue examined the new abilities brought by his Six Eyes evolution, but felt somewhat disappointed.
This ability... was a domain-type power.
Han Jue tentatively named it Boundless Void.
Specifically, it created a domain with a diameter of one hundred million kilometers, similar to a miniature universe. Within this domain, Han Jue possessed the ability to make his words come true on a small scale. He could also restrict enemies entering the domain, preventing their escape and blocking all contact between them and the outside world, unless he actively released the Boundless Void.
While this ability seemed extremely powerful, to Han Jue it felt somewhat lackluster.
Han Jue wasn't lacking in methods to trap enemies!
This Boundless Void was completely useless to him. It would have been better to directly increase his life gene level or gain an offensive ability, that would be more practical.
Still, it was better than nothing.
"From now on, I can shout 'Domain Expansion: Boundless Void!'" Han Jue thought to himself. "However, could this ability be used to counteract the space-time control of Universe Masters and the reality-warping power of the universe's strongest beings?"
If so, it would still have some value.
At minimum, with this ability, Han Jue wouldn't fear any of the universe's strongest beings within the Origin Universe.
"If it blocks all connections with the outside world, could it also sever the connection between enemies and the Origin Universe?" Han Jue suddenly had an idea.
Fourth- and fifth-tier Universe Masters, such powerful beings, were extremely difficult to kill within the Origin Universe due to its blessings.
Within the Origin Universe, there were no sixth-tier Universe Masters, only sixth-tier Universe's Strongest Beings. If the strongest beings wanted to attack Universe Masters, they would encounter resistance from the Origin Universe itself, making it nearly impossible to kill them.
If Han Jue were to possess sixth-tier strength in the future, combined with Boundless Void blocking all connections, wouldn't he be able to slaughter these Universe Masters within the Origin Universe at will?
"I'll need to test it in actual combat."
Han Jue shook his head slightly.
Relying solely on his own deductions was useless.
