Chapter 185: The Hundred Flowers King and the Lord of the Peng Gong Zhi

And just as Lu Qingshan was exchanging words with Qingping Wang of the Intelligence Department...

Within the territory of the Demon Race, inside a Cosmic Secret Realm, a strange bio-ship was speeding through the dark universe.

And in the control room of the ship, two humanoid puppets were currently conversing.

The appearance of one of these humanoid puppets was none other than the Hundred Flowers King, who had once worked in the Transport Department of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Hundred Flowers!" another humanoid puppet called out softly.

"Master!" the puppet resembling the Hundred Flowers King immediately responded respectfully.

"When you chose to nurture a weak human clone, I, your master, once opposed it!"

The Hundred Flowers King's master, 'Long Diao Zunzhe', could not help but sigh, "Now it seems I was too conservative!"

"Master, you speak too heavily!"

The Hundred Flowers King hurriedly said, "Back then, you did it for my own good. After all, our Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage has a relatively small physique; nurturing a clone with a massive body and a higher genetic level would definitely be a better choice!"

The Twin-Headed Demon Mantis is one of the sixteen royal families of the Demon Race, and the strength of the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage is enough to rank third among the many royal families of the Demon Race; only the Zhen Yao lineage from which the two Demon Ancestors originated, and the Wheel-Return Cyclops Eye Snake lineage, can surpass them.

And the reason the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage possesses such strength is first because their leader, the Peng Gong Zhi Zhu, is a fifth-order Universe Master with terrifying strength, comparable to the Hun Dun Chengzhu and the Peng Gong Zhi Zhu;

second, because among the many top Universe Dominators of the Demon Race, a full four come from the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage!

The reason the top Universe Dominators of the Demon Race far outnumber those of the other three peak races is most importantly because the Demon Race possesses some races capable of nurturing clones like the Golden Horned Beast.

Especially the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage; their life genetic level is naturally six times that of ordinary life in the universe, and they can nurture a clone before breaking through to Immortality.

A life genetic level six times higher makes it easier for the experts of the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage to reach the limit of a hundred times the life genetic level; and after the life genetic level increases, they can nurture clones with an even higher life genetic level!

A Twin-Headed Demon Mantis World Master genius whose life genetic level has reached the hundred-fold limit can, in a maximum state, even nurture a special life clone with an eight-hundred-fold life genetic level.

Precisely because of this, the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage has been able to produce four top Universe Dominators throughout the long years!

It's just that the Hundred Flowers King back then had no talent at all in increasing her life genetic level; when she was at the World Master level, in a maximum state she only fused two Light-Net Crystals, so her life genetic level remained at the original six times.

And fusing Light-Net Crystals can be said to be the simplest and most convenient method for the Demon Race to increase their life genetic level.

The Hundred Flowers King's background was very ordinary; among those close to her, the most powerful was only her master, a medium-universe Zifeng Zunzhe of relatively ordinary strength named 'Long Diao Zunzhe'.

Such a background, combined with her law comprehension which was not particularly heaven-defying, was simply insufficient to support her in obtaining more precious treasures for increasing life genetic level.

However, at that time, Long Diao Zunzhe considered her quite important, even applying for genetic material from a special life whose life genetic level reached thirty times that of ordinary life in the universe on her behalf.

Moreover, the body size of that special life reached over ten thousand kilometers, making it one of the most suitable clones for an ordinary genius of the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage to nurture.

Nowadays, among the Marquis Immortals and King Immortals of the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage, many have nurtured that kind of special life clone, so the strength of their special life clones often surpasses all others of the same realm.

It's just that the Hundred Flowers King, who was only a World Master at the time, rejected Long Diao Zunzhe's suggestion and instead chose to nurture a human, then resolutely joined the Demon Race Intelligence Department.

Subsequently, under the arrangement of the Demon Race Intelligence Department, her human clone directly obtained a suitable identity within the human territory, and then she smoothly broke through to become an Immortal Deity.

At that time, as soon as she broke through to Immortality, she was sealed as a High Marquis; although this strength could not compare to those peerless geniuses of the Demon Race, it was still considered very impressive.

And in the long years that followed, her original body stayed within her own Divine Kingdom; even many of her fellow clansmen friends she met before breaking through believed she had perished on the Outer Battlefield.

The only ones in the entire Demon Race who knew she was still alive were her master Long Diao Zunzhe and a few experts from the Demon Race Intelligence Department.

And at this moment, her human clone also began her 'struggle' within the territory of the human race!

First, she roamed the universe as a lone Immortal Deity, then inadvertently met many experts from the five major camps of the human race, and finally smoothly joined the Virtual Universe Company faction through a Marquis Immortal from the Demon Race Intelligence Department who had been lying in wait in the Virtual Universe Company long ago.

Then she began working diligently within the Virtual Universe Company!

During this process, the Hundred Flowers King even regarded herself as a true and genuine human.

Later, she gained the appreciation of one of the Transport Department supervisors, the Feng Po Wang, and thus was able to join the Transport Department of the Virtual Universe Company to work.

And at this time, the Hundred Flowers King's status within the Demon Race Intelligence Department became higher and higher.

After she smoothly broke through to the King level, she not only held greater power within the Transport Department of the Virtual Universe Company, but also enjoyed a higher status within the Demon Race Intelligence Department.

At that time, the supervisor of the Intelligence Department, the An Ye Zunzhe, personally received her original body; he not only arranged a dedicated communication channel for her, but also ordered the Marquis-level Demon Race spy who had originally invited her to join the Virtual Universe Company faction to 'perish' in a very reasonable manner and withdraw from the human territory; the purpose of doing so was merely to ensure her safety within the human race territory to the greatest extent.

And the Hundred Flowers King indeed did not disappoint the An Ye Zunzhe; during the long years she worked in the Transport Department of the Virtual Universe Company, she brought back countless precious intelligence to the Demon Race and caused huge losses to the human race!

Precisely because of this, the Hundred Flowers King also received the full investment of the Intelligence Department; they not only arranged a suitable Divine General inheritance for her, but even produced many precious treasures to increase the life genetic level of her original body.

In addition to this, there were even many precious treasures assisting cultivation; combined with her talent which was indeed not bad, and the fact that she constantly faced life-and-death crises within the human race, she was able to smoothly raise her law comprehension to the peak of the King level all the way.

Until now, when her identity within the human race was exposed, she could finally retire after accomplishing her mission!

"No!"

Just as the Hundred Flowers King was sighing in her heart, Long Diao Zunzhe also quickly sighed, "If you had nurtured a special life clone according to my arrangement back then, our Demon Race would now have at most one additional King Immortal!"

"But you chose to nurture a human clone, and have thus established endless merit for our Demon Race; even the Leader has personally evaluated you as a merit-maker for the race!"

"The Leader?"

Hearing these words, the Hundred Flowers King was startled in her heart: "Master, could it be that the one you are now taking me to see is the greatest Leader of our Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage?"

It must be known that the reason the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage holds such a high status in the Demon Race, surpassing other royal families, is not only due to the several top Universe Dominators, but more importantly because the Leader of the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage possesses incomparably powerful strength!

"That is correct!"

Long Diao Zunzhe immediately said, "After the Ancestor heard about your matter, he said 'good' three times in a row, and then ordered me to take you to see him!"

"Now we have arrived at the Peng Gong Zhi Zhu Secret Realm; it won't be long before we reach the Leader's Divine Palace!"

"See the Ancestor?" The Hundred Flowers King was slightly stunned, then became incredibly excited.

The Leader of the Twin-Headed Demon Mantis lineage is a super existence far stronger than the An Ye Zunzhe, the leader of the Demon Race Intelligence Department, and is even enough to rival the Hun Dun Chengzhu of the human race!

Now that the Leader has heard of her matter, how could she not be excited?

Half a day later, the bio-ship trembled slightly, obviously having returned to the Original Universe.

"External Scene Simulation!" Long Diao Zunzhe directly ordered.

The Hundred Flowers King's eyes lit up; the surrounding scenery changed, and she felt as if she was placed within the vast starry sky.

However, this universe starry sky was completely empty, with not even a trace of cosmic dust existing.

The only thing existing was a magnificent Divine Palace in the distance, and the huge strange statues located on both sides of the Divine Palace.

"Did you see it?"

Long Diao Zunzhe pointed at the corpses beneath the temple, then said with immense excitement: "Those two prostrate statues are the two alien Universe Masters who were once slain by the Leader!"

"However, under the Leader's terrifying power, those two alien Universe Masters were completely annihilated, so the Leader crafted these two statues as a memorial!"

"The Leader's divine might is invincible!" Hei Fengwang looked at the temple and statues ahead, a trace of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

One must know how terrifying the strength of a Universe Master is; even reversing time and space to resurrect the dead is a trivial matter for them.

Yet such a great existence fell at the hands of the Leader of the Twin-Headed Yaodiao lineage!

Shortly after, Long Diao Zunzhe shifted his mind, and soon brought Hei Fengwang out into the void of the outside world.

"Leader!" Long Diao Zunzhe stood in the void, revealing his original form, and called out respectfully.

Hei Fengwang naturally also revealed the form of the Twin-Headed Yaodiao lineage.

Boom!

Time and space twisted, and Long Diao Zunzhe and Hei Fengwang instantly vanished from the void.

After Hei Fengwang's consciousness cleared, he immediately found himself in a vast, desolate space.

"Leader!" Long Diao Zunzhe respectfully knelt to the ground.

"Hmm?" Hei Fengwang then realized that not far ahead of him, a figure of immense grandeur had appeared.

This figure was as towering as a mountain, with a long tail behind him and two heads growing on his shoulders. He looked no different from an ordinary Twin-Headed Yaodiao, except his size was countless times larger, and he radiated an endless aura of slaughter.

The moment Hei Fengwang's gaze fell upon this figure, he immediately felt his soul tremble.

"Leader!"

Long Diao Zunzhe said respectfully: "This is a meritorious member of our Twin-Headed Yaodiao lineage. She has lain in wait for endless years in the territory of the Human Clan, establishing endless merit for the Meng Yao Zu. Now that her identity is exposed, she has retired in triumph and returned to our Meng Yao Zu territory!"

At this moment, Hei Fengwang also respectfully prostrated himself on the ground: "Greetings, Leader!"

"Good!" A mighty voice rang out.

Hei Fengwang and Long Diao Zunzhe both listened respectfully.

King Jin Zhi looked at Hei Fengwang, his voice full of praise: "Truly worthy of being the peerless genius of our Twin-Headed Yaodiao lineage!"

"Let the other royal families see how the genius of our Twin-Headed Yaodiao lineage contributes to the entire Meng Yao Zu!"

"Bai Hua, you have lain in wait in the territory of the Human Clan, establishing great merit for our Meng Yao Zu. Now, are you willing to become my direct disciple?"

"The Leader's direct disciple?"

Hei Fengwang was slightly stunned, then fell to the ground with a face full of wild joy: "This disciple is willing!"

Long Diao Zunzhe, standing aside, watched this scene before him, and his heart was filled with immense envy.

Although he was already a Universe Venerable, he had not been able to become a disciple under any Universe Master of the Meng Yao Zu, let alone a terrifying powerhouse like King Jin Zhi!

Looking at Hei Fengwang kneeling on the ground, King Jin Zhi nodded slightly.

"Bai Hua, you have established endless merit for our Meng Yao Zu, and the clan must naturally offer a reward!"

King Jin Zhi waved his hand, and four streams of light instantly appeared before Hei Fengwang: "These are four treasures very suitable for you, including a top-tier heavy treasure claw, a top-tier heavy treasure armor, a soul-type heavy treasure, and a flight-assistance heavy treasure!"

"With these four treasures protecting you, even if you have not created a peak secret technique, you will possess the strength of an Invincible King. Even an ordinary Universe Venerable would be utterly unable to harm you!"

Long Diao Zunzhe, standing aside, watched King Jin Zhi's bestowal upon Hei Fengwang, and his heart was extremely envious.

Although the Meng Yao Zu has the most powerful beings among the four peak races, compared to the same-level experts of the other three peak races, they are also the poorest.

As a mid-level Universe Venerable, Long Diao Zunzhe currently possesses only one top-tier heavy treasure weapon and one top-tier heavy treasure armor for protection; as for the more precious soul-type heavy treasures and flight-assistance heavy treasures, he has none at all!"

In other words, Hei Fengwang, who is merely at the King realm, already possesses wealth that completely surpasses his!

"Thank you, Teacher, for the gift!"

Hei Fengwang hurriedly bowed respectfully, then immediately stored all the heavy treasures before him.

"Hahaha!"

King Jin Zhi immediately laughed heartily: "Our Meng Yao Zu will absolutely not treat any meritorious member poorly!"

"Bai Hua, your greatest weakness right now is that your self-created secret technique is relatively weak, and your comprehension of the laws has only grasped teleportation; you have not yet comprehended space lockdown or space strangulation! I hope you will continue to work hard and strive to fully comprehend the complete Space Origin Law, successfully entering the Universe Venerable realm!"

"This disciple will certainly strive!" Hei Fengwang said respectfully.

"Good!"

King Jin Zhi nodded slightly, then continued to ask: "So, do you plan to cultivate in the Ancestral Demon Universe, or to temper yourself in some Cosmic Secret Realm?"

Hearing this, Hei Fengwang hurriedly said: "Teacher, this disciple plans to go to the Outer Battlefield to gain experience!"

"The Outer Battlefield?"

King Jin Zhi was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but frown and say: "Bai Hua, your strength can now rival an Invincible King; going to the Outer Battlefield to gain experience has little meaning!"

"This disciple understands!"

Hei Fengwang immediately said: "However, what this disciple intends is to send his human avatar to the Outer Battlefield to gain experience!"

"Human avatar?"

Hearing this, King Jin Zhi quickly said: "Do you know that you have already become a thorn in the eye and a splinter in the flesh of the Human Clan? Once your human avatar appears on the Outer Battlefield, it will likely immediately attract the attention of countless Human Clan experts!"

"No matter how many Human Clan experts there are, this disciple fears them not!"

Hei Fengwang immediately said: "If one comes, this disciple will kill one; if two come, this disciple will kill a pair! This disciple goes to the Outer Battlefield to step on the corpses of countless aliens and cross into the Universe Venerable realm!"

Having remained low-profile in the Human Clan territory for endless years, Hei Fengwang was now long past being able to restrain himself.

"What ambition!"

After hearing Hei Fengwang's words, King Jin Zhi couldn't help but praise: "Truly a powerhouse of our Twin-Headed Yaodiao lineage!"

"Since you have such ambition, then I, your teacher, promise you here: as long as you can break through to the Universe Venerable realm, I will prepare two most suitable supreme treasures for you!"

One must know that among King Jin Zhi's many Universe Venerable disciples, even those he favored relatively, he would at most bestow only one supreme treasure.

Now, Hei Fengwang has not yet broken through, yet he has already promised two supreme treasures; from this, one can see how highly he values this disciple!

And for a supreme existence like King Jin Zhi, although supreme treasures are precious, those of ordinary levels are no longer in his eyes.

"Disciple thanks you, Teacher!" Hundred Flowers King said again with extreme gratitude.

"Mm!"

Lord of the Forbidden Seal nodded slightly, then continued to warn: "Hundred Flowers, although the clone talent of my Dual-Headed Demon Stoat lineage defies heaven, it is still possible to perish!"

"Even I, your teacher, dare not claim I will definitely not perish! Therefore, even after obtaining the method of clones, you must always maintain reverence for the universe!"

"Disciple understands!" Hundred Flowers King said respectfully.

She had been lying low in the human race's territory for endless ages and had long been prepared to perish.

For her, if she could not become an unparalleled powerhouse, then even perishing meant nothing!

"Mm!"

Lord of the Forbidden Seal waved his hand, then said: "You may go. When you, Hundred Flowers, become a Zifeng Zunzhe of the universe, come see me again!"

"Yes, Teacher!" Hundred Flowers King said respectfully.

"Leader, your subordinate takes his leave!" Long Diao Zunzhe also bowed respectfully.

Whoosh!

The figures of Hundred Flowers King and Long Diao Zunzhe vanished instantly, then quickly appeared in the starry sky outside.

Inside the Divine Temple, the gaze of Lord of the Forbidden Seal seemed to pierce through time and space.

Watching the departing figures of Hundred Flowers King and Long Diao Zunzhe, he couldn't help but think inwardly: "Damn Hun Dun Chengzhu, this appearance of Hundred Flowers should make the Virtual Universe Company lineage feel very uncomfortable!"

In fact, for endless ages, the Meng Yao Zu had also had some Hei Fengwang immortals lying low within the other three peak races.

Under normal circumstances, after these Hei Fengwang immortals returned to the Meng Yao Zu, they would at most be somewhat valued; obtaining one or two heavy treasures would be considered good, and it was very difficult to obtain top-tier heavy treasures or soul-type heavy treasures.

And the reason Lord of the Forbidden Seal valued Hundred Flowers King so much this time...

First, because Hundred Flowers King was a powerhouse of the Dual-Headed Demon Stoat lineage;

Second, because his main combat clone in the Sea of the Universe had just suffered a significant defeat at the hands of Hun Dun Chengzhu, directly causing him to lose a peak supreme treasure weapon!

Therefore, upon seeing a powerhouse within his clan bring trouble to the Virtual Universe Company lineage, he was quite delighted, even taking her as a disciple!

And compared to that peak supreme treasure weapon which caused him considerable pain, the harm Hundred Flowers King caused to the human race, and the few heavy treasures bestowed upon Hundred Flowers King, were merely a drop in the bucket!
