Chapter 434: Movements of All Parties

Just as the human race was preparing to contact the Meng Yao Zu to discuss exchanging the Lord Tianlang for a supreme treasure, news of the human race's great battle against the Meng Yao Zu on the Primordial Star had already begun to spread widely throughout the vast universe through the many Universe Lords who had observed the battle.

After learning the general situation of the battle between the human race and the Meng Yao Zu, all forces throughout the entire Primordial Universe were quite shocked.

In the core territory of the Insect Race, within a crystalline, resplendent divine temple.

At this moment, slender figures exuding all manner of seductive charm stood respectfully in the great hall — all of them Insect Race Mother Empresses at the Universe Lord level.

And upon the crystalline Wang Zuo at the front of the great hall sat a figure who seemed capable of dragging countless lives into depravity — it was none other than the supreme existence of the Insect Race, the Insect Race Empress.

"Empress!"

The Lord of Lord Hai Lan, who had watched the entire battle between the human race and the Meng Yao Zu, quickly spoke respectfully to the Insect Race Empress upon the Wang Zuo: "In this great battle between the human race and the Meng Yao Zu, although the human race gained a slight advantage, the Lord Changjiu of the Meng Yao Zu has already broken through to the fifth tier!"

As she spoke these words, the Lord of Lord Hai Lan was also quite jealous in her heart.

After all, she had been cultivating for far longer than the Lord Changjiu, yet she had still not created the strongest secret technique for Universe Lord fusion, while the Lord Changjiu had already stepped into the fifth tier — how could she not be jealous?

"The Lord Changjiu has stepped into the fifth tier?"

After hearing the Lord of Lord Hai Lan's words, a hint of surprise also appeared in the Insect Race Empress's eyes, and she could not help sighing: "I never expected the Meng Yao Zu to have produced yet another fifth-tier Universe Lord!"

"The Meng Yao Zu truly have too many powerful beings!"

The Lord of Yutu at the side quickly said coldly: "The Lord Mie Jin, the Lord Xuezan, the Lord Changjiu — now the Meng Yao Zu alone already have three fifth-tier Universe Lords!"

"Once any one of them breaks through to the level of the strongest in the universe, the Meng Yao Zu will have three strongest beings in the universe!"

Speaking to this point, the Lord of Yutu could not help looking at the Insect Race Empress and saying: "Empress, should we find a way to suppress that Meng Yao Zu?"

Hearing the Lord of Yutu's words, the other Insect Race Universe Lords were all stirred in their hearts.

One must know that among the four peak races, the Insect Race had the fewest Universe Lords — there were only six Mother Empresses at the Universe Lord level in total.

Of course, although the number of Insect Race Universe Lords was sparse, their combat power was still extremely astonishing.

Not to mention that each of them was a born Soul Master, and they could also unleash the Sea-of-Insects tactic.

Although the Sea-of-Insects tactic was relatively less effective at the Universe Lord stage, if they united and mobilized their full heritage, the strength they erupted with could absolutely rival the combined force of a dozen, or even twenty, Universe Lords of other races.

"The Meng Yao Zu truly must be restrained somehow!"

The Insect Race Empress also spoke: "They originally already had two strongest beings in the universe — usually one roams the Sea of Universes while one guards the Primordial Universe, letting the Meng Yao Zu claim many advantages!"

"If they produce a third strongest being in the universe, it will be even more troublesome!"

"However, that Lord of Wan Jie of the human race also needs some attention — he was able to escape from the siege of the Lord Changjiu and other Meng Yao Zu Universe Lords, so his strength is already quite formidable!"

"Perhaps after some more time, the human race will also produce a third fifth-tier Universe Lord!"

"Empress, you worry too much!"

The Lord of Lord Hai Lan, who had just blocked Lu Qingshan from leaving the Primordial Star, quickly spoke: "That Lord of Wan Jie is indeed quite strong, but he is certainly still a long way from being a fifth-tier Universe Lord!"

"Do not be careless!"

The Insect Race Empress quickly said: "I once examined the records regarding that Lord of Wan Jie of the human race. When this person first began cultivating, his talent was utterly ordinary — he barely managed to cultivate to the Decay Realm Military Lord level!"

"But later he stepped into the Marquis level, then the Hei Fengwang level, the Zifeng Zunzhe realm, and now even possesses the strength of a fourth-tier Universe Lord!"

"What?"

"Just a Decay Realm Military Lord?"

After hearing the Insect Race Empress's words, several Insect Race Universe Lords all revealed looks of astonishment on their faces.

One must know that all Insect Race Empresses had no Decay Realm Military Lord or Marquis-of-Decay level.

Any World Lord-level Insect Race Mother Empress only had a chance to break through to the Immortal God Realm after her comprehension of laws reached the Hei Fengwang level.

Coupled with the augmentation of life gene level, amplification secret techniques, the Sea-of-Insects tactic, and so on, any Insect Race Mother Empress who broke through to the Immortal Realm could be called invincible below the Zifeng Zunzhe realm.

Even the Immortal-level Insect Race warriors they bred generally possessed the strength of a high-tier Military Lord.

In other words, an Immortal-level Insect Race warrior they casually bred was probably already stronger than Lu Qingshan, who had just broken through to the Immortal Realm.

"Therefore, you must never underestimate that Lord of Wan Jie!"

The Insect Race Empress continued to remind them: "This person rose from obscurity. Although he did not reveal his brilliance at the start, he has now grown to his current state — he is naturally not an easy person to deal with!"

"Yes, Empress!"

Hearing the Insect Race Empress's words, the many Insect Race Empresses, including the Lord of Lord Hai Lan, all nodded and replied respectfully.

……

In the core territory of the Prison Race.

Lofty figures now stood throughout the vast great hall — some were rock lifeforms with endless flames burning across their entire bodies, others were burly flesh-and-blood lifeforms covered in hair…

Although these beings, each emanating powerful auras, took various different lifeforms, every one of them radiated an endless aura of evil.

And upon the towering Wang Zuo at the front of the great hall sat an evil figure whose body was a mottled mix of silver and black.

This evil figure was similar in size to an ordinary human, except that a long, sharp tail like a scorpion's stinger grew from its back, extending outward and almost encircling half the great hall.

This was the Demon Ancestor!

The supreme Demon Ancestor of the Prison Race!

Under the guidance of this evil Demon Ancestor, the slaughter and strife throughout the entire Prison Race territory were all incomparably brutal, and its hierarchy was incomparably strict.

The brutal slaughter combined with the strict system made every Prison Race powerhouse who grew up amidst endless killing incomparably iron-blooded, mad, and ferocious!

"Demon Ancestor!"

A terrifying existence whose face was covered in black, evil, mysterious patterns, with dozens of eyes all gleaming with a faint silver light, now spoke respectfully to the Demon Ancestor seated high upon the Wang Zuo: "A powerhouse within the alliance has sent word that the Meng Yao Zu and the human race just had a great battle on the Primordial Star, with both sides deploying over a dozen Universe Lords!"

"The cause of this great battle was that the Lord Tianlang of the Meng Yao Zu was suppressed by the Lord of Wan Jie of the human race, and the Lord Changjiu of the Meng Yao Zu displayed fifth-tier strength in this battle, but even he and several Meng Yao Zu Universe Lords besieging together let that Lord of Wan Jie of the human race escape!"

"What did you say?"

A hint of surprise colored the Demon Ancestor's voice: "Thousand Eyes, is the information true?"

Although the Prison Race rarely participated in the struggles between the four peak races, it still paid a great deal of attention to news about the four peak races.

"The information has already been verified!"

The Lord of Thousand Eyes quickly said respectfully: "This was witnessed firsthand by the Lord Tian Yao of the alliance on that Primordial Star. I also inquired with several other friends, and now both the Meng Yao Zu and the human race have already ceased fighting, and that Lord Tianlang of the Meng Yao Zu has also been taken back to the core territory of the human race by that Lord of Wan Jie!"

"That Lord Tianlang's strength is not worth mentioning — whether or not he was suppressed by the human race is no big deal!"

The Demon Ancestor pondered for a moment, then continued: "On the contrary, that Meng Yao Zu's Lord Changjiu has actually gained fifth-tier combat power, which may well exert some influence on the various factions!"

"I wonder just how that Lord Changjiu cultivated — to have reached fifth-tier strength so quickly!"

"Indeed! Back when Lord Changjiu had just entered the Sea of Universes to wander and still needed to call for help from the many experts of the Meng Yao Zu Alliance, I had already created the strongest secret art of a Lord of the Universe. Yet now, after all this long stretch of time, my strength has not improved at all — instead, Lord Changjiu has actually stepped straight into the fifth tier!"

"Just how did he manage it?"

For a time, the many super-existences of the Prison Race began to discuss it among themselves.

"Demon Ancestor, what shall we do?" an extremely ancient Lord of the Universe asked in a low voice.

"What to do? Naturally, we need do nothing at all!"

The Demon Ancestor gave a cold laugh, then continued: "Our Prison Race's territory is not adjacent to that human race's or the Meng Yao Zu's territory. Even if Lord Changjiu has fifth-tier strength, even if that Lord of Ten Thousand Realms is extremely difficult to deal with — the ones to be affected first will be the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race! With them taking the brunt of it, the impact on us certainly will not be too great!"

Just at this moment…

A wondrously evil, terrifying aura directly seeped in from outside the great hall. The entire hall quickly fell silent, and the many Prison Race experts, the Demon Ancestor included, all looked toward the outside of the hall.

Boom!

A streak of flowing light was seen flying straight in from outside into the great hall, and immediately a towering Wang Zuo, pitch-black all over, appeared before everyone.

At the top of the backrest of this towering Wang Zuo, eighteen yellow-gold alien heads still grew, looking extremely evil.

After this black, towering Wang Zuo landed in this great hall, it soon conjured forth a figure clad in simple armor.

This figure was seen to have skin black all over, both legs and feet entirely bare, a skull growing on its shoulder, its forehead jutting forward like a curved blade, and its twin eyes burning with two clusters of black flames that radiated an endless evil aura.

That invisible evil aura spread out in all directions, even several degrees denser than that of the Demon Ancestor on the Wang Zuo ahead.
