Chapter 499: Declaration of War and Action, the Handwriting of Martial God Yan Ao!
The grudge between Zhao Xing and Carlos had long existed, dating back to when Zhao Xing participated in the Primordial Assembly.
At that time, Zhao Xing was too weak; even when the territory conquered by Great Zhou was destroyed by the Hongyue Lord, an agent of the Carlos family, he had no choice but to endure it.
Back then, the Empire's Wild Territory Development Plan had not yet been implemented, and that conflict of interest in the Annihilation Star Corridor was not significant.
Later, he purchased the development rights for the Annihilation Star Ancient Path from Ruyin Carlos.
Ruyin Carlos had once sent someone to find Zhao Xing, demanding to rejoin the development to get a share of the profits, but was ruthlessly rejected by Zhao Xing.
This was because, at the time, he already had Emperor Hongshan, Emperor Wudu, Emperor Lushan, and Zuo Qiyu as shareholders.
Furthermore, Bowei had attended the thirty-two Dharma assemblies, so even if they wanted to sabotage it, they couldn't.
Later, having found Meng Wu of the Martial God Palace as a backer, Zhao Xing had assumed the Carlos family would have no more ideas.
However, according to this intelligence, ever since his true self went missing and his clone only acted according to established goals, the Carlos family had once again set their sights on him.
This was because the profits generated from the Annihilation Star Ancient Path were so immense that they even piqued the interest of that Venerable Carlos.
With Zhao Xing, the actual controller, missing, the Carlos family had made two relatively serious moves during the two thousand years of his disappearance.
They wanted to kick Great Zhou and Zhao Xing out of the game to gain a portion of the rights to the Annihilation Star Ancient Path.
"Ji Si, what is this intelligence about?" Zhao Xing immediately found Ji Si to inquire about the situation from those years.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, at that time, Wudu and Hongshan were still in the midst of breaking through to become demigods, and the Carlos family, being a demigod family, possessed immense power."
"In the end, I had to seek help from Meng Wu of the Martial God Palace. It was only through his intervention that we survived that crisis."
"Later, we didn't encounter any more military attacks, but it evolved into an economic one," Ji Si recalled.
"The Carlos family used their massive capital advantage to begin annexing Great Zhou's upstream and downstream industrial chains both domestically and abroad, and they bought up our debts at a premium."
"They launched a large-scale commercial siege against us."
"During the middle two hundred years of the 1998th solar year of the Wild Territory Era 2, except for the plant-based raw materials, troop types, and star-land materials supplied by the Primordial Hill, the prices of almost everything else used for the Annihilation Star Ancient Path rose by more than fifty times."
Ji Si sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that the harvest from that cave dwelling was large enough and the Grand Minister of Agriculture had left sufficient funds, we would have collapsed in the first wave of the siege."
"Afterward, the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce increased the shareholding ratio of Emperor Bisui, and with the friends of the Grand Minister of Agriculture in the Primordial Realm exerting their efforts together, we finally stabilized the supply of daily materials, though the development progress slowed down."

Zhao Xing listened with a gloomy expression. The military offensive had been blocked by Emperor Meng Wu, but Meng Wu was beyond his reach when it came to this kind of commercial behavior targeting Great Zhou.
In this capital war, it was truly easy for the deep-pocketed Carlos family to short Great Zhou.
"We tightened our debt ratios, cut many businesses, and adhering to the principle of steady progress, we didn't give the Carlos family any more opportunities. We struggled through fifty years."
"Afterward, the Carlos family intensified their siege. This time, Senior Zuo and Senior Lushan had to participate."
"Even Senior Hongshan and Senior Wudu had to interrupt their seclusion."
"Even so, we were still at a disadvantage in this siege. A large number of projects were interrupted, leaving only the exploration route you originally planned, which, because of the cooperation with the Martial God Palace, did not encounter any problems."
Zhao Xing integrated the memories of the 'Annihilation Star Clone,' and suddenly, a brutal financial war appeared in his mind.
As a founding demigod family, the Carlos family's rallying power was beyond doubt. This was not just a battle between Great Zhou and the Carlos family; it was also a struggle between the new and old nobility.
Although Great Zhou had become rich overnight after excavating over three thousand cave dwellings, compared to an era-spanning family like Carlos, they were not yet financial giants. Even with Emperor Wudu, Zuo Qiyu, and Emperor Hongshan calling upon their friends, they were still at a disadvantage.
At its most intense, the arrays and mechanisms on the Annihilation Star Ancient Path lost 100, 00 Five-Emperor Coins every day they operated—equivalent to an Emperor-level figure going bankrupt every single day!
Killing without shedding blood; the Carlos family used this method to force Great Zhou and Zhao Xing to make concessions and let them have a share of the pie.
"The turning point appeared seventy-eight years later, when two Origin Realms and one Nirvana Realm were discovered in succession on the Annihilation Star Ancient Path," Ji Si said.
"This was the second major harvest since the discovery of the cross-domain boundary ship and the cave dwelling inheritance."
"Ten years later, I, Emperor Hongshan, Emperor Wudu, and Emperor Lushan all entered the ranks of demigods."
"Also, because of this harvest and the increase in strength, the Carlos family knew they could no longer kill us economically, and with Emperor Meng Wu mediating, this crisis was resolved."
Zhao Xing recalled this invisible war and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. "Great Zhou was truly destined not to perish. If those three small worlds had been discovered a few years later, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold on."
"It was destined not to perish," Ji Si said, somewhat dazed. "If it had been any later, it would have been over."
"We survived that time, but we also felt the power of the Carlos family, so this intelligence was only kept on file; we had no power to launch any counterattack."
"The Carlos family is bullying us too much." Zhao Xing immediately summoned the key personnel and communicated through karma.
Yu~
Venerable Wudu, Venerable Hongshan, and Venerable Lushan each sent a karmic avatar to descend.
Upon seeing Ji Si, they all nodded toward him.
"Kid, before you talk about this Carlos matter, I have to tell you one more thing," Venerable Wudu said, pointing at Ji Si.
"Back then, when your true self was away, there was a portion of demigod resources that should have been left for you, but it was given to Ji Si. I, Emperor Hongshan, including Bisui and Zuo Qiyu, all agreed unanimously."
"He led Great Zhou to win the vast majority of the battles on the karmic level during that siege operation."
"He even broke through the ninth True Spirit Tribulation because of it."
Zhao Xing was somewhat stunned. "Ji Si, why didn't you say anything?"
Ji Si shook his head. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I was just lucky; it's not really any skill."
"This child Ji Si doesn't claim credit, but we have to speak up for him, lest you create a misunderstanding," Wudu said.
"Indeed," Emperor Bisui nodded. "That commercial war radiated across multiple industries, and the region involved nearly half of the empire. Seven or eight super-first-class star systems were affected."
"Commercial actions also represent the intertwining of the karmic destinies of countless people."
"At that time, in your Great Zhou, Ji Si was the main decision-maker!"
"I, Hongshan, Wudu, and the others could only be considered assistants at the time, because the main body of the mining rights was Great Zhou and you."
"Because no matter what, the karmic destinies involved in countless commercial actions would inevitably feedback or backlash onto Great Zhou."
"Others could not replace that."
Emperor Hongshan nodded. "At that time, Great Zhou only had three paths: either compromise with the Carlos family and be their dog."
"Or resist hard, but if you lose, it's total destruction."
"As long as you can survive, it is equivalent to passing a True Spirit Tribulation."
"
"When the karmic ties of countless people were on Ji Si, if Ji Si's decision had been even slightly wrong at that time, it would have led to the karmic backlash of countless families being destroyed; it was absolutely terrifying."
In Zhao Xing's mind, a scene suddenly emerged: countless late nights, Ji Si standing in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, bearing the karmic destinies of countless people, while also facing the attacks of countless karmic lines.
Such a karmic battle was no less than the one Lao Qing, Wei Tianchen, Bowei, the Monster Race, and the Celestial Master Mansion fought against him.
On countless late nights, Ji Si would be forced into dreams to heal, only to wake up in a start countless times.
During this period, he even found time to request Yang Baihe to find his whereabouts and spoke with Wang Tianzhi. Thinking of this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh, "Ji Si, you've worked hard."
He did not bow to Ji Si; there was no need for that. Their bond needed no words.
Of course, the feedback after surviving this battle was also very strong, even enough for Ji Si to break through the ninth True Spirit Tribulation and become a demigod Fate Master!
Afterward, he used resources, so in just over two thousand years, Ji Si became a tenth-rank Fate Master and a ninth-rank Historian.
"I was lucky not to have failed the expectations of the Grand Minister of Agriculture and His Majesty," Ji Si replied lightly, as if it were a fleeting past.
"Having suffered a loss, there is no reason not to retaliate," Zhao Xing said, looking at Ji Si, Wudu, Hongshan, and the others.
"Now that I am back, teachers, are you willing to support me in having another go with the Carlos family?"
"Good apprentice, I have been waiting for these words from you," Emperor Wudu said, overjoyed. "These hairless bad seeds forced me out of seclusion once and sat on my head to crap and pee. I've been holding this in for a thousand years! I, your grandfather, have never endured for so long!"
Wudu seemed very excited. "Old Man Hongshan, are you in?"
"I actually haven't fought anyone for a long time; harmony is precious," Venerable Hongshan said slowly.
"Old Man Hongshan, stop pretending. How your title of Eight-Armed Demon God came about, don't think I don't know."
Venerable Hongshan sighed and said, "That was a long time ago."
"Stop talking nonsense, just say whether you're in or not."
Venerable Hongshan looked at Zhao Xing. "Zhao Xing, of course I am willing to help you."
"However, I am a person of the Primordial Hill; after all, it is not good to interfere in the internal struggles of the Empire. As I just said, Great Zhou and you are the main body."
"You have to face the impact of the Carlos family directly."
Venerable Hongshan's words indicated his attitude: he was willing to help, but he was also worried about whether Zhao Xing could hold up.
Hearing Venerable Hongshan's words, Zhao Xing didn't say a word and began to insert needles into himself.
While inserting them, he said, "Teacher, seniors, I am currently a ninth-rank demigod, but—BOOM!"
A wild surge of energy engulfed Zhao Xing, and then a dark, pitch-black hand with a singularity in its palm appeared.
The next second, Zhao Xing completed his transformation, sporting double horns and lush hair, with robust muscles and Nine-Marsh secret patterns circling his body.
He walked out of the flames.
"Now, I am a tenth-rank demigod! I can maintain this state for at least three days or so; this is the change brought by the Heaven-Changing Divine Needles."
Zhao Xing understood that to fight as a group, he had to be tough enough himself, so he immediately revealed some of his trump cards.
"That's not all." Zhao Xing roared, Red Lotus magic power, Green Lotus magic power, Cangming magic power, and Xuanhun magic power, all four magic powers added together.
The body of the Nine-Marsh Divine Descendant underwent astonishing changes again; the hair retracted, the horns retracted, becoming closer to a human, and the muscle lines of his physique, as well as the fluctuations of Qi and origin, became more perfect.
"Now, I am at the peak of the eleventh rank!" Zhao Xing's blood-red eyes held powerful confidence.
This was the improvement brought by the four types of magic power, and only the body of a Nine-Marsh Divine Descendant could accept the amplification of four types of magic power merging simultaneously.
"In this state, I can maintain it for more than half a month," Zhao Xing said.
"Not only that, I have also received all of Wei Tianchen's inheritance, including the five great divine medicine series."
"Teacher Hongshan, do you want to see my state after taking the medicine?"
Even though Emperor Hongshan was only a karmic avatar present, he couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Xing's momentum.
Peak eleventh rank—this strength was already on par with his own!
It was only one rank away from Emperor Wudu and Venerable Lushan.
And if he took the medicine? Emperor Hongshan had heard of Wei Tianchen's five great divine medicines.
At most, one could gain a three-rank increase in strength!
"That's enough, that's enough—" Emperor Hongshan hurriedly stopped Zhao Xing from taking the medicine; it would be too wasteful to consume a divine medicine just for a demonstration.
"You actually received Wei Tianchen's inheritance?" Venerable Lushan was equally curious about Zhao Xing's experiences.
"He dominated multiple eras; I didn't expect him to die at your hands."
"No, senior, I didn't kill him," Zhao Xing shook his head and transformed back into human form. "It's just that I'm not comfortable talking much about the experience."
"Hmm," Venerable Lushan nodded. "I have no objections either."
As long as Zhao Xing wasn't acting on impulse, then of course he was willing to support him.
Otherwise, having endured for a thousand years, there was no need to rush.
Zhao Xing's personal safety was the top priority.
Emperor Bisui said, "Zhao Xing, what do you plan to do?"
After reaching a consensus, it was time to ask about the plan.
Zhao Xing held the two pieces of intelligence in his hand: "How the Carlos family retaliated against us, we will retaliate back in the same way—an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"They ambushed us once, so I will ambush them once. When the Yan God Military Department intervenes, or the higher-ups intervene, then we will turn it into a commercial siege."
Zhao Xing also had a certain understanding of the Red Star Emperor; the Emperor did not care about struggles below the Divine Realm.
To the Emperor, except for those of extremely heaven-defying monster levels, he wouldn't even take a second look, and struggles were beneficial to ensure the vitality of the Empire, preventing the classes from becoming completely solidified.
Zhao Xing had also seen a thing or two about this from the Jing'e of Yu Shenzhou.
However, there was more than one Divine Realm in the Empire; the Emperor was a God King and wouldn't pay attention to these matters, but there must be other gods paying attention.
For example, that Martial God in the Yan God Star System; when the scope of the struggle became too large and the situation escalated, they might intervene.
This could be seen from Ban Wu's actions back then; Ban Wu represented the will of the Yan God, and it was Ban Wu's two-yuan move that forced the Carlos family to turn from military action to commercial war.
This should be the same for the Carlos family and for himself. Zhao Xing didn't expect special treatment, but as long as there was relative fairness, it would be enough.
He believed that he could receive this respect now because the words of Guluohe before had given him this confidence, because that statement meant: he had already entered the shortlist for the Divine Realm!
"The first stage will only be done by me and the people of Great Zhou," Zhao Xing said. "For now, only the teacher and a few seniors know."
This was to confirm the main body; whether it was a karmic war, a military war, or a subsequent commercial war, Zhao Xing and Great Zhou would be the main body leading it.
If Venerable Hongshan were the main body, or Wudu were the main body, the nature of it would change.
Wudu didn't have his own family or forces; he was the ruler of the Primordial Realm. If he were the main body, it would become a struggle between two major official institutions, which was clearly inappropriate.
If Venerable Hongshan or Lushan were the main body, it would become a foreign dispute.
Zhao Xing wanted to stir up trouble now, so of course, he had to take on the trouble himself.
"In the second stage, I will notify all my partners, all my friends; those with people will contribute people, those with money will contribute money, and those with strength will contribute strength."
"At that time, we'll see if the Carlos family's head is harder, or if ours is."
Next, the old monsters, Zhao Xing, and Ji Si began to discuss the details.
"First, let's confirm one thing: is the target of the retaliation a main branch of the Carlos family, or a sub-branch?"
"No restrictions. We are declaring war on the entire Carlos family," Zhao Xing said.
"That ancestor of the Carlos family is at least a fifteenth-tier demigod, and he possesses quite a few divine artifacts," Venerable Lushan said.
"He's just an old man with one foot in the grave! Does he dare to fight with all his might? Having lived this long, if he dares to fight at full strength, he will immediately trigger the sixteenth Primordial True Spirit Tribulation!"
Wudu laughed: "Besides, we won't have the opportunity for a direct armed conflict with him. Once we enter the second stage, it will be impossible for him to take action anyway."
"Zhao Xing, have you decided to what extent you want to strike? What goals do you want to achieve?"
"The Carlos family has five main branches, and his five sons are all demigods," Zhao Xing said calmly. "In the first stage,
if we can kill a few of them, that would be best, but it cannot be within the Empire's borders."
"As for the second stage, we will attack their pillar industries. I will give his five sons an ultimatum: either become our dogs, or be wiped out."
"Good, very good! But in that case, the plan for the first stage must have sufficient lethality."
"I manage many affairs in the Primordial Realm, so I happen to know where two of his sons will be going. Hehehe..." Emperor Wudu chuckled sinisterly.
Time: 77 world-star years remaining until the Third Era of the Desolate Domain.
Location: Imperial vassal dynasty, Taram Dynasty, Yunni Star System.
At this moment, on the capital administrative planet of the Yunni Star System, two massive fleets of world-ships pierced through the world barrier and descended.
The Yunni world-star is rich in spiritual energy; various spirit mountains, continents, and spirit lakes have been strictly planned, giving it a sense of artificial construction.
At this moment, the entire Yunni world-star is cheering and celebrating, with crowds of festive people everywhere.
Prince Taram stands on the high level of the palace, looking down at the scene below, his face wearing a sincere smile.
This is simply because the Taram Dynasty is finally going to be incorporated by the incomparably powerful Red Star Empire today.
This is a great achievement earned by the Emperor of the Taram Dynasty and all his subjects working day and night for over two thousand years.
After all, the strongest person in their dynasty is merely a Lord-level leader, which is difficult to gain a foothold with in the Siyue Domain.
"It is said that the Empire calls the Siyue Domain the Desolate Domain. I really don't know how vast and magnificent the outside world is," Prince Taram sighed in his heart.
He was born late and is currently only at the second stage of Origin; he has never been to the outside world at all.
Their information channels are also closed off, so they do not know everything comprehensively; they even use the most rudimentary versions of star mirrors.
"Obtaining a star mirror and gaining the right to know is the simplest thing for citizens of the Empire, but for a Desolate Domain dynasty like ours, it requires immense effort."
"Fortunately, two powerful demigods from the Empire will arrive at our Taram star today."
"We will soon be able to go to the Empire for advanced studies, enjoy the spiritual energy so dense it drills into the body on its own, enjoy the incomparably powerful Dao soldiers that can shatter a sun with one strike, and various powerful and magical spells..."
Prince Taram fantasized.
He looked up at the world barrier in the sky; through the visible barrier, there were two massive fleets in the starry sky.
It is said that they come from the great Empire's veteran-level family—Carlos.
And it is this benevolent family that possesses the right to incorporate them.
His father and uncle were both favored by two demigods of this family. Their descent today is not only to incorporate their entire dynasty, allowing the Taram Dynasty to obtain the status of an Imperial vassal, but it is also a glorious moment for his father and uncle to be accepted as disciples.
"I will have a chance to pay my respects later. Which set of dharma robes should I wear?"
"Hmm, I heard that quite a few exceptionally talented women from the Carlos family will be coming. If I could be favored by one of them, that would be great."
Prince Taram began to summon his servants to help him dress up.
The grand ceremony began at the moment the sun star reached its zenith.
Prince Taram stood in the palace welcoming procession, gazing into the distance at the two fleets in the sky.
"As expected of an Imperial demigod family. I have never seen such fleets before. Just looking at them gives me a sense of immense oppression, making one unable to stop trembling."
"Our ascension world barrier actually dissipated automatically, and the two stars that gave us our Origin cultivation were actually fixed in place by their fleet."
As the appearance of the fleets became clearer, the crowd below began to cheer, surging like a tide.
Prince Taram also couldn't help but start shouting: "Carlos family, the powerful Carlos family, the great Empire!"
In the flagship of the Carlos fleet, two demigods were watching Taram Star.
They were Venerable Bing and Venerable Yu, both of whom were of the second generation of the Carlos family and were two of the more famous among the five demigods.
It was not because they were the strongest, but because they often walked in the world and appeared before the public.
"The two fellows of the Taram family actually have the rare 'Xibo Divine Bloodline'. Brother, to be able to wait until now to incorporate them, you really have patience."
Venerable Yu looked at his older brother, Venerable Bing.
After opening up the Siyue Desolate Domain and clearing the ancient path, they naturally discovered many indigenous races along the way.
Among them, this Taram world-star belonged to a region under the management of the Carlos family.
"More than thirteen hundred years ago, when I passed by, I was only suspicious, so I casually bestowed some treasures and secret techniques," Venerable Bing said, sipping spirit wine in a leisurely manner. "Now both of these people have grown up, and the power of their bloodline is relatively obvious."
"Later, I asked a friend in the Primordial Realm to check their life origin Dao charts and discovered that these two people's life Dao charts are very similar to those of a certain divine race in the Tianze Star Domain."
The Tianze Star Domain is a spiritual territory discovered after the Empire opened up the Siyue Desolate Domain, but it is not as developed as the Xuanling Star Domain, and being conquered is only a matter of time.
"Now that they have broken through to the Lord level, it is time to take them away. You take one, and I take one."
"Let's see if there is any hope of taking the bloodline power a step further."
"Brother Yu, don't hold anything back when the time comes."
"Brother, we are brothers. If I make a discovery, would I not tell you?" Venerable Yu promised.
In reality, however, he was thinking about something else:
If there were any discoveries in researching this divine bloodline, it would inevitably involve the hope of becoming a god. How could he possibly tell his brother?
The path to becoming a god is fraught with difficulties and obstacles. My brother is a fool, but I am not.
"Once the apprenticeship ceremony is over, the tedious process of incorporation will be left to you," Venerable Bing said calmly. "Take them to the family territory and just settle them on any planet."
"Just settle them anywhere?"
"Yes, after so many years, only the two Taram brothers have stimulated the divine bloodline; the others should have no hope. I am too lazy to spend any more effort."
"Where is Brother going?" Venerable Yu asked.
"A Black Abyss has appeared in the Black Sky Desolate Domain—" Venerable Bing lowered his voice. "Brother, have you heard of the Black Abyss?"
"Brother, I don't understand what you are talking about. What is there?" Venerable Yu asked in confusion.
"You really don't know?" Venerable Bing frowned.
"I really don't know," Venerable Yu said sincerely. "Alright, don't go spreading this. This is something I overheard Father talking to someone about; it's a top-secret file."
"Of course."
"Deep in the bottom of the Black Abyss, it is rumored that there is an altar where one can sacrifice to a certain god to gain power, and perhaps even become a god."
"What? There is actually such a thing?" Venerable Yu was shocked. "What is used as a sacrifice?"
"I don't know; the sacrificial materials are not yet clear—Alright, this is taboo. We cannot talk too much about the Evil God."
Venerable Bing suddenly stopped speaking.
"Yes, we shouldn't talk too much; all Evil Gods deserve to die," Venerable Yu said, but in his heart, he kept thinking: Sacrifice?
And it's even possible to become a god?
Prince Taram looked at the sky, shouting continuously.
But just at this moment, his vision suddenly went dark, and he couldn't see anything at all.
Prince Taram tried to recall the scene before he went blind: first, the Moon Star seemed to have extinguished, while the Sun Star expanded extremely.
He was very confused, but he didn't know what had happened.
But the next moment, light returned, only it was particularly blinding.
Subsequently, Prince Taram saw a scene he would never forget in his life.
He saw that the world barrier of the Taram world-star had completely disappeared, exposed to the illumination of the starry sky.
The incomparably powerful fleet in the starry sky, which looked like gods, had its foremost and largest ship broken into two pieces.
As for the rest of the fleet, it had already completely disappeared.
Countless meteorite-like substances filled his field of vision, obscuring the starry sky.
Prince Taram was almost suffocating.
He looked at the other half of the starry sky and saw, in the sky filled with gray stones, a figure surrounded by nine rings of purple secret patterns, with flames burning all over its body.
This figure, looking like a god, was holding another world-ship of the Carlos family in its hand.
"My god—" Prince Taram collapsed to the ground.
In the starry sky, Zhao Xing transformed into a Nine-Marsh Divine Descendant, frowning as he looked at his palm.
He had caught the Carlos family's world-ship, and the two demigods of the Carlos family were inside it.
It was actually not difficult to ambush these two from the Carlos family.
Because these two were the type of people who often walked in the world, and many of their itineraries were public.
Although the itinerary for this trip was not made public, Wudu knew about it.
Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing had never even thought about hiding it.
Who would dare to ambush the fleet of a demigod-level family of the Red Star Empire? Are they tired of living?
Thus, Zhao Xing simply ambushed a straw-man clone on their necessary path in advance. When the two of them appeared, he immediately used distance-defying teleportation to bring his true self there.
In his transformed state, he had already surpassed the realm of these two demigods, succeeding in the ambush in one fell swoop and destroying most of the world-ship fleet.
Only this one world-ship, the one where the two Carlos demigods were located, had a core cabin that was actually a divine artifact. "No wonder I couldn't crush it."
"However, fortunately, this is not a Dao God Weapon, but a Force God Weapon."
Zhao Xing could feel that when he exerted force, there was an extremely scorching power resisting him.
In other words, the core cabin was not a Great Dao God Weapon, but power left behind by some god-level being, protecting this cabin.
As for who it was, it was not hard to find out.
Zhao Xing examined it carefully and found a few characters on the cabin: Extravagance, Luxury, Abstinence.
Behind it was the signature—Martial God Yan Gao, inscribed in the first year of the Desolate Domain Era.
"Martial God Yan's calligraphy?" Zhao Xing's expression changed.
He didn't expect that there would actually be calligraphy by Martial God Yan Gao on the cabin of these two people.
This is not a Great Dao Divine Artifact, but it is better than a Great Dao Divine Artifact!
Martial God Yan is a living Martial God. Great Dao Divine Artifacts are stronger than Force Divine Artifacts in terms of rank, but it also depends on whose power was left behind.
Zhao Xing absolutely could not break this cabin.
"Zhao Xing, do you know who we are, daring to attack us!"
"Where did this monster come from, not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth? We are of the Carlos family—"
Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing were startled at first, but seeing that Zhao Xing could not tear the cabin, they immediately began to regain their composure and started to threaten him.
"You don't know who I am? I am Zhao Xing!" Zhao Xing snorted coldly. "A victim who has been bullied by you!"
"Zhao Xing? You have become a demigod? How is this possible—" Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing were both stunned.
The strength Zhao Xing was displaying now made their hearts tremble.
But when did Zhao Xing become a demigod? Wasn't his true self missing?
"More than a thousand years ago, you two sent people to kill my clone managing the Yanxing Ancient Path. How could you two forget so quickly?" Zhao Xing laughed.
"Zhao Xing, don't talk nonsense," Venerable Yu said sternly. "We never did such a thing. On the contrary, you suddenly ambushed an Imperial noble, which is a major taboo and a serious violation of Imperial law."
"That's right, do you see the characters on the cabin?" Venerable Bing warned. "That is the power left behind by Martial God Yan Gao,
and the Martial God Hall is definitely on its way. If you surrender now, it's still not too late."
"Don't talk to me about Imperial law," Zhao Xing said coldly. "First of all, this is not Imperial land. Your incorporation has not been completed, so this is Desolate Domain territory. Following the exploration regulations, one can kill freely."
"Secondly, Imperial law did not protect me back then, so it cannot protect you now!"
"Break for me!"
Zhao Xing roared, his four-colored magic power fusing throughout his body, and his power suddenly surged.
The cabin was squeezed by Zhao Xing's palm, making creaking sounds.
The sound of countless primordial claws tearing at the cabin walls pierced the hearts of the two demigods inside with fear.
Zhao Xing had to speed up; he could not let the Martial God Hall get involved.
He had to kill these two quickly; even if he couldn't kill them, he had to quickly make them lose their ability to resist.
"Zhao Xing, you have a bright future, don't be impulsive—"
"Zhao Xing, we can talk about anything. You didn't die, did you? The past is already in the past; we can reconcile—"
The two Venerables kept trying to persuade Zhao Xing.
"Reconcile?" Zhao Xing said angrily. "You think that's a reconciliation? How ridiculous."
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing unleashed hundreds of millions of innate secret techniques.
However, although the characters on it were somewhat blurred, the characters "Martial God Yan Gao" remained indestructible.
Moreover, it emitted a faint golden light, seemingly forming some kind of array. Zhao Xing could feel that some kind of power was indeed crossing space to come here.
"Bang!"
Under the final attack, Zhao Xing's whole body slipped, and he was sent flying.
Zhao Xing quickly chased after him, but at the same time, the cabin erupted with golden light, and a person appeared in the void layer beside it.
"Meng Wu?" Zhao Xing's heart sank. He didn't expect Meng Wu to appear here.
"Great, we are saved!" Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing immediately had this thought in their hearts.
However, Meng Wu did not look at Zhao Xing, but only said to Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing inside.
"Yu, Bing, back then the teacher inscribed: Benevolence, Righteousness, Faith, Courage, Propriety, Filial Piety, Loyalty, and Abstinence from Arrogance, Luxury, Lust, and Extravagance."
"Now only these few characters remain, which truly shames the teacher—I am ordered by the teacher to collect his remaining divine power."
"Ah?"
Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing were stunned.
End of Chapter
