Mullie, who was still chasing Ender, suddenly flew backward. A one-meter-long battle mace appeared out of thin air and struck his body.
At this moment, the space here twisted and transformed, followed by a terrifying surge of power.
Boom!
The sudden attack of the battle mace contained extremely powerful energy, causing the area where the One-Horned Black Snake was struck to shatter. The aftermath of the attack dispersed the dust accumulated in the surrounding starry sky.
This single blow caused the One-Horned Black Snake to lose 2% of his Divine Body!
The One-Horned Black Snake fixed his gaze and saw a human man in casual clothes appear out of thin air at the location he had been pursuing. The young man was over two meters tall, with a very ordinary appearance, holding a one-meter-long dark red battle mace in his hand.
Although the young man who appeared out of nowhere held a terrifyingly powerful battle mace, his aura was quite peaceful, without the oppressive presence of an Immortal, and a faint smile played on his face.
However, if one were to carefully examine the young man's body, they would discover that it contained an extremely terrifying Immortal Divine Power, far surpassing in quality that of the One-Horned Black Snake, who had arrived via Divine Kingdom teleportation.
"Teleportation!"
The sudden appearance of the young man sent a chill down the One-Horned Black Snake's heart.
The three great profound mysteries of the Space Origin Law: Teleportation, Lockdown, Strangulation!
Anyone who comprehends the Space Origin Law, as long as they grasp any one of these three profound mysteries, their comprehension of the Law is considered to have reached the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
An Immortal who can comprehend one profound mystery is at least a High stage King-level Immortal, and after a period of further cultivation, becoming a Pinnacle stage King-Level is the norm. Therefore, comprehending one profound mystery can basically be equated with a Pinnacle stage King-level Immortal.
"I didn't expect the One-Horned Black Snake Race of the Demon race to produce a Low Stage King level Immortal. That's truly rare."
The young man who appeared out of nowhere stared at the One-Horned Black Snake in front of him and said, "Hmm... I found it. You are Black Snake King of the One-Horned Black Snake Race, and you have been Soul enslaved by the Zerg."
The One-Horned Black Snake is one of the lowest-level Demon Beasts of the Demon race, the kind that can barely even serve as cannon fodder.
It is extremely difficult for a Demon Beast of this level to become an Immortal, let alone reach the King-level Immortal. That's why this young man called it rare. However, such a rare King-level Immortal was actually Soul enslaved by the Zerg, and he had already exposed his identity, making him useless for covert operations.
After carefully observing the young man and comparing him with the information in his memory, Black Snake King said in a deep voice, "You are King Sealing Mace!"
King Sealing Mace, a great general under the Lord of Ganwu, had established a formidable reputation on the Extraterritorial Battlefield and was a Pinnacle stage King-Level expert long ago.
Hearing Black Snake King identify him, King Sealing Mace chuckled and said, "I haven't been active on the Extraterritorial Battlefield for a long time. I didn't expect you, a newly promoted Pinnacle stage King-level, to still recognize me."
"King Sealing Mace, you are a Pinnacle stage King-Level expert. I admit defeat!" Black Snake King said in a deep voice, "But this is the home of Ender, a Genius of your Human Race..."
"You want to self-detonate?" King Sealing Mace smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Don't you even look at where this is?"
Upon hearing this, Black Snake King's gaze swept around, and he realized that he was now in an unknown place, surrounded by an endless Void.
"You teleported me!" Black Snake King said in a deep voice, "You had already prepared the battlefield. It seems you have been waiting and guarding Ender's home all along, otherwise you wouldn't have prepared this battlefield."
"Now you can continue to self-detonate." King Sealing Mace made a gesture of invitation and smiled, "You're not qualified enough to consume my Immortal Divine Power."
Seeing that his plan to force King Sealing Mace to rescue him by self-detonateing had failed, Black Snake King no longer hesitated. He directly burned his Immortal Divine Power, his body trembled, and he transformed into a streak of light, charging forward!
As a Soul servant, Black Snake King acted according to the orders given by his master: assassinate the Genius of the Human Race. If the assassination failed, he was to consume the Immortal Divine Power of the Human Race's experts.
The Immortal Divine Power of an Immortal is extremely precious, and the stronger the expert, the more precious the Divine Power!
Because Divine Power is a Fusion of Soul, losing a portion of Divine Power is equivalent to losing a portion of Soul. If too much Divine Power is lost, the strength of that Immortal will also decrease accordingly!
When the Divine Body is reduced to only 5%, the Immortal will fall into a deep sleep to recover his Divine Power.
"That's more like it!"
Seeing Black Snake King charging towards him, King Sealing Mace's smile became radiant. He swung his dark red battle mace and charged towards Black Snake King!
...Meanwhile.
"Disappeared?! That alien King-level Immortal disappeared!"
Mullie had stopped fleeing. He looked back at the empty, starless sky where the One-Horned Black Snake was no longer present, feeling a sudden sense of strangeness.
Ender glanced around, then relaxed and nodded lightly, "He did disappear."
Recalling the spatial fluctuations that had occurred behind them, he speculated, "There must have been an expert from our Human Race who intervened and took that alien King-level Immortal away."
"An expert from our Human Race intervened." Mullie suddenly understood what had happened, then he asked, "Your Highness, what do we do now?"
"Return on the Shadow Dragon!"
Ender said, taking out a dark red prismatic Universe spaceship, "The Shadow Dragon is a top-tier F-class spaceship. A general Marquis-level Immortal cannot destroy this spaceship."
"Your Highness is worried about the safety of Kuka Planet?" Mullie asked after entering the spaceship.
Ender's voice was a bit heavy as he said, "Kuka Planet is just an ordinary planet. Even after being modified, it cannot withstand the attacks of two Marquis-level Immortals from the Lorgar Tribe. My parents are still on Kuka Planet."
"If it's Kuka Planet's problem, I don't think Your Highness needs to worry," Mullie said. "The two Marquis-level Immortals of the Lorgar Tribe are not all alien spies. If it weren't for Marquis Zhuhan's assistance, we would probably have been forcibly taken into the Divine Kingdom."
Thinking of the sudden Divine Kingdom teleportation, Ender felt a shiver of fear. This assassination came too quickly and too suddenly. Fortunately, with the help of Mullie and Marquis Zhuhan, otherwise he would not have escaped the fate of being taken into the Divine Kingdom.
Once taken into the Divine Kingdom, he would only be able to commit suicide, at the cost of immense wealth, to resurrect with his Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone, which was far away in the Primal Secret Realm.
"Marquis Tian Yi was most likely Soul enslaved by an alien race, and may even have been lurking for a long time." Ender said in a deep voice, "The alien races are truly pervasive!"
Mullie nodded upon hearing this. It is difficult for others to detect any abnormality in a person who has been Soul enslaved, unless they are screened by a powerful expert.
"Go! Back to Kuka Planet."
Under Ender's command, the Shadow Dragon flew towards Kuka Planet... In space outside Kuka Planet.
Originally, this was a bustling transfer spaceport, with many Universe spaceships docked and many merchants active and entertained here.
However, a sudden assassination turned this prosperous spaceport into ruins. Thousands of Universe spaceships were destroyed, countless materials were ruined by the aftermath of the battle, and those merchants were also turned into minced meat in the aftermath of the battle!
"You want to self-detonate in front of me and destroy Ender's home? Marquis Tian Yi, have you become so stupid after being Soul enslaved!"
Marquis Zhuhan held an ice-blue battle saber in his hand, its blade containing spatial Origin Law fluctuations. He slashed at Marquis Tian Yi with a single strike.
At this moment, Marquis Tian Yi was in an extremely sorry state. Faced with the offensive of a Hou-level Pinnacle Stage Immortal, he could only barely resist and was unable to contend. His battle armor was covered in scars, and his Divine Body had lost over 31%, with his strength less than five-tenths of his Pinnacle, and his aura greatly weakened.
"Marquis Zhuhan! You deserve to die! Deserve to die!"
Marquis Tian Yi roared wildly. He had finally gotten an opportunity to complete his master's mission, but such a good opportunity was ruined by Marquis Zhuhan, who had followed him.
Since he couldn't complete the assassination and couldn't escape the Human Territory, he decided to destroy Ender's home. If he could achieve this, it would inevitably affect Ender's mindset, and perhaps even diminish his future achievements.
But the problem was, he couldn't even self-detonate and perish with Kuka Planet, Ender's modified home.
The reason, of course, was the obstruction of Marquis Zhuhan, who also kept driving him away from Kuka Planet.
"Die! Let's all die together!!!"
"Explode! Explode! Explode..."
Marquis Tian Yi roared madly, and his remaining 68% of his Divine Body instantly transformed into a dazzling ball of light, like a supernova explosion.
Boom... As a Pinnacle Marquis-level Immortal, Marquis Tian Yi's self-detonation caused the surrounding Universe space to collapse. Dark cracks appeared one after another, then healed under the Original Universe's rules.
The explosion's shockwave spread in all directions, and dazzling light extended outwards, destroying all insufficiently hard matter in its path. The already dilapidated spaceport was completely annihilated in this self-detonation.
And the modified Kuka Planet, even with the protection of its planetary defense System, violently shook in the aftermath of the Marquis-level Immortal's self-detonation!
...Inside Kuka Planet.
Buildings established long ago collapsed in the aftermath of the self-detonation. Some Apprentice-level residents died due to the collapse of these buildings and the impact of the aftermath!
Royce Family territory.
After the invisible shockwave swept through, as the ground shook violently, everyone flew out of their respective tents and gathered in the sky to assess the situation.
Wendy asked, "Eleven just left not long ago, and this happened. Could something have happened to Eleven?"
"Not sure," Derrick replied. "It might just be an earthquake."
He also had such a guess in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly, and the other people present also had similar conjectures.
"Fourteen," Royce said, "You go organize people to rescue the various cities."
"Yes." Fourteen, having received his grandfather's order, flew towards the nearest Morning Light City.
As he flew, Fourteen saw the devastation of Kuka Planet. A planet that had never experienced such a disaster in its long history, facing a sudden violent earthquake, some ancient buildings simply could not withstand it.
"Ah!"
"Save them! Hurry and save them!"
Screams and shouts rang out. Planetary Level or Stellar Rank survivors flew into the sky, checking the situation in various parts of the city, and those who could save people went to help...
In the space battlefield outside Kuka Planet.
The moment Marquis Tian Yi self-detonated, Marquis Zhuhan fled in the direction of Kuka Planet, doing his best to resist many of the explosion's aftershocks in that direction.
Even though he constantly forced Marquis Tian Yi away from Kuka Planet, the self-detonation of a Pinnacle Marquis-level Immortal's 68% Divine Body was too powerful, and it wasn't particularly far from Kuka Planet.
This caused Kuka Planet to be significantly affected. Marquis Zhuhan could see the planet shaking violently, but after being modified by the Virtual Universe Company, it could indeed withstand the impact of the self-detonation's aftermath.
Looking at the surrounding wreckage of buildings and metal, and the green planet that was still shaking slightly, Marquis Zhuhan's expression turned grim, "This is troublesome!"
He had come to Kuka Planet this time, hoping to mend the rift between the Lorgar Tribe and the Royce Family, and also to bring the troublesome World Master to explain everything clearly.
But now that this had happened, how could he explain it clearly?
His Lorgar Tribe's Marquis-level Immortal had assassinated Ender, and even used Divine Kingdom teleportation to send an alien King Level Immortal here.
That was a King-level Immortal. Even a First Class King-level was not someone he could deal with.
"I wonder how Ender is doing now. I hope he can survive the pursuit." Marquis Zhuhan sighed, "But that's the pursuit of an alien King-level Immortal. The odds are probably against him."
He had noticed when Ender's guard fled that his strength was only at the Military Lord-level Immortal Pinnacle level. Although he had fled for a period of time in advance, facing the pursuit of an alien King-level Immortal, he would be lucky to last two seconds!
How fast was the flying speed of a King-level Immortal? It was not something an Military Lord-level Immortal Pinnacle could escape from!
"Ender's home is saved, but if the person isn't saved, it's all for naught." Marquis Zhuhan glanced at the green planet again and said in a deep voice, "The situation here must be reported to the Ancestor immediately!"
The Lorgar Tribe has only one Ancestor, who is currently the only King-level Immortal in the clan.
"No!" Just as he was about to send the email, Marquis Zhuhan paused slightly, "If that alien King-level Immortal successfully killed Ender, then why didn't he return? Did he use Divine Kingdom teleportation to leave?"
Divine Kingdom teleportation requires opening a spatial channel, and after the spatial channel is opened, it takes some time for the spatial fluctuations to subside. Even if that alien King Level Immortal escaped using Divine Kingdom teleportation, he wouldn't be able to move the Divine Kingdom's location in a short time.
As long as the Divine Kingdom coordinates don't change, the Human Race's experts can lock onto that alien King Level Immortal's Divine Kingdom through the spatial fluctuations. In this situation, that alien King Level Immortal also cannot escape!
"If it were me, after completing the assassination, I would leave through Marquis Tian Yi's Divine Kingdom teleportation. Even if it was exposed, it would be Marquis Tian Yi's Divine Kingdom coordinates."
"It seems Ender still has a chance of survival." After this speculation, Marquis Zhuhan's expression became a little more relaxed, "As long as Ender is alive, there's still room to salvage the situation, and the Lorgar Tribe's situation will be much better."
Marquis Zhuhan knew that with Marquis Tian Yi, a Marquis-level who had been Soul enslaved, appearing in the clan, the Virtual Universe Company would inevitably conduct an investigation and purge. This was unavoidable, whether Ender was alive or not.
But if Ender was alive, and he had a small share of the credit, the Lorgar Tribe's situation would definitely improve.
"Ender, oh Ender, I hope you're alright..."
