Chapter 500: We Surrender

Venerable Feather and Venerable Ice were stunned, but Zhao Xing laughed after hearing this.

Take back the divine power? The cabin itself was only at the level of an ordinary reincarnation Dao weapon. If the divine power were taken back, then with his own ability, he wouldn't even need to destroy the cabin; he could shake both of them to death through the cabin.

"Meng Wu, don't do this; if you take it back at this time, aren't you putting us to death?"

"Meng Wu, you must be falsely conveying the Martial God's message; you are biased!"

"General Meng, Lord Meng—"

At first, the two demigods of Carlos were still stubborn, but when Meng Wu took out a gourd and aimed it at the cabin, and the handwriting on it began to slowly turn into golden light and be taken away, they really panicked and began to beg for mercy continuously.

However, Meng Wu just looked at them coldly: "When you made your move back then, I advised you not to make it look so ugly. As a result, you turned around and launched an economic siege, forcing Great Zhou into a karmic war."

"Heaven's sins can be compensated for, but self-inflicted sins cannot be lived through."

Having said that, Meng Wu found them noisy and directly blocked the sound coming from inside.

In the process of absorbing the divine power, Meng Wu looked back: "Zhao Xing."

"General Meng." Zhao Xing bowed. He had always respected Meng Wu. When he tricked Meng Wu into coming to the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly, the other party was very generous and didn't hold it against him, only locking him up for five hundred years. In fact, these five hundred years even had a training nature, allowing him to learn the Great Five-Finger Mountain from Wu Tian.

Later, when developing the Annihilation Star Ancient Path, Meng Wu, as a partner, actually did some things beyond the cooperation, such as stopping the military actions of the Carlos family.

However, Meng Wu couldn't help much more with the karmic war triggered by the commercial war afterward.

After all, he wasn't alone; he needed to consider the thoughts of many people.

"At the beginning of the Wild Territory Era, it was also the official determination of a space-time defense node. Back then, the Emperor and many Divine Realm figures made some protective measures for the meritorious officials under their command to prevent them from being damaged in the Wild Territory Era."

Meng Wu explained: "During that special period of shared hatred, Official Carlos begged my master to inscribe characters for his son."

"My master used divine power to carve martial virtues on a stone wall, namely: Benevolence, Righteousness, Trust, Courage, Propriety, Filial Piety,"

"Loyalty, and 'Abstain from Pride, Luxury, Lust, and Indulgence'."

"Afterward, Official Carlos turned the stone wall into a boundary ship cabin and gave it to his son."

"After giving it, the master went into seclusion."

Zhao Xing listened quietly to this past event.

Meng Wu continued: "You also know that in the Empire's system, the strong have great privileges, let alone a family like Carlos. So the characters left by my master were just a kind of beautiful expectation, and he didn't expect them to be moral gentlemen."

"As long as they don't go too far, the characters inscribed by the Master using his essence, energy, and spirit as a brand can protect them forever."

"But if they go too far, these inscriptions will slowly fade away."

Zhao Xing realized: "No wonder I saw that most of the characters on the cabin were blurred, with only three characters and the Martial God's signature remaining. So that's how it is."

Meng Wu nodded: "Yes, but the Master is in seclusion and won't care about such trivial matters. He only instructed me that if one day the Martial Virtue divine power he left behind disappears, I should come and collect the remaining divine power."

Zhao Xing nodded. The two Venerables of the Carlos family had worn away the characters, which might not necessarily violate Imperial law. For example, their wanton killing of registered practitioners does not violate Imperial law. Even with their privileges, some things can be atoned for by paying fines.

Once they reach the level of the Carlos family, as long as they don't commit treason, they can basically remain prosperous forever.

However, Imperial law is only the most basic moral bottom line. The standard of Martial God Yan Gao is clearly above this baseline.

Even if they are not dealt with by the Empire, they will no longer be protected by Yan Gao's divine power.

"Zhao Xing, my mission is complete." The divine power brilliance quickly disappeared completely, and Meng Wu swallowed the gourd into his abdomen.

"Do whatever you want."

"However, my Master asked me to bring a message to you."

"General Meng, please speak." Zhao Xing's attitude became respectful; he was not in a hurry to take action.

"My Master said:"

"You have great hope of reaching the God Realm; do not waste your energy on such matters. Do not use cruel means to torture them; give them a quick end."

Zhao Xing nodded: "This junior accepts the instruction."

After Meng Wu finished speaking, he left without looking back.

At this moment, Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing, who could still hear the conversation between Meng Wu and Zhao Xing inside the cabin, were completely stunned.

"Zhao Xing has hope for the God Realm? Did I hear that wrong?"

"My god, Father and Big Brother have never received such an evaluation. Martial God Yan Gao actually said Zhao Xing has 'great hope'?"

"If we had known this, how could we have gone to provoke Zhao Xing—"

Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing both started trembling.

If they had known that Zhao Xing had such an evaluation, they would never have set their sights on the Yanxing Ancient Path.

"It's too late to say anything now! Brother, hurry and reincarnate!" Venerable Yu said to Venerable Bing. "Reincarnation still offers a hope of survival."

"If we are triggered into a True Spirit Tribulation by Zhao Xing, then it's completely over."

Venerable Bing gritted his teeth and immediately took out his life-bound reincarnation Dao weapon from his bosom, wanting to undergo True Spirit reincarnation.

However, just at this moment, the cabin shattered violently, and their reincarnation secret technique was interrupted.

The two appeared in a fiery red world.

It was Zhao Xing who had swallowed both of them along with the cabin.

He activated the second secret technique of the Nine-Marsh Divine Descendant: Heavenly Ruins Five Viscera.

"The five viscera form a world of their own, which can devour most non-divine objects and convert them into nutrients."

"However, I find eating them dirty," Zhao Xing snorted coldly.

A pair of fiery eyes reflected the minds of the two.

The second innate secret technique was activated.

Burning World Divine Eye, activated with Xuan Soul magic power; this is an innate skill that can amplify True Spirit power.

Burning World Divine Eye does not kill them directly, but adds a fire to the True Spirits of these two.

Zhao Xing knew very well that killing these two in the ordinary sense would likely result in the other party still undergoing True Spirit reincarnation, or being resurrected by a Carlos priest.

In this way, his first-stage plan would not achieve the expected effect.

Therefore, Zhao Xing chose this method to burn out the other party's True Spirit, forcing them to undergo the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation.

The fire of the Burning World Divine Eye helped them along, making their True Spirit fire seeds become incomparably vigorous, as if declaring their existence to the dark universe.

"True Spirit Tribulation is a tribulation born because of defying the laws of cosmic lifespan."

"Burning one's own True Spirit fire seed is highly likely to trigger a True Spirit Tribulation."

"Therefore, demigods above the fourteenth tier rarely fight at full strength; they avoid it if they can."

Zhao Xing's eyes continuously urged the True Spirit fire seeds of the two.

After trying again and again, the True Spirit aura of these two was forced to surge continuously.

When they tried for the seventh time, the True Spirits of the two became unprecedentedly powerful at this moment!

Zhao Xing seemed to sense something and immediately threw Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing out.

"Zhao Xing—you, you are so vicious." Venerable Bing looked at the void layer above his head with a terrified expression. It suddenly cracked, and a wind of the void suddenly appeared.

"Venerable Bing's eleventh tribulation is the Wind Spirit Tribulation," Zhao Xing watched carefully.

This void wind appeared extremely abruptly, as if the ubiquitous primordial Dao of the universe had suddenly descended here, heading towards Venerable Bing.

"True Spirit Tribulation is divided into tangible tribulations and intangible tribulations. This method of destroying living beings with violent primordial Dao is called a tangible tribulation."

"I haven't encountered a single tangible tribulation, so I can take a good look," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

As for Venerable Yu? His tribulation seemed to be still brewing, but forbidden by Zhao Xing's Void Claw talent, he couldn't run away either, and could only wait quietly for death to descend, which was even more desperate.

"Zhao Xing, listen to me, I can tell you a big secret, spare my life." Venerable Yu transmitted his voice to Zhao Xing. Seeing his brother's True Spirit Tribulation triggered, he actually calmed down at this moment.

Zhao Xing ignored him.

Soon, another void wind appeared, trapping Venerable Yu as well.

"!"

The void wind seemed to cross endless void layers, with four wind walls closing in from above, below, left, and right, forming a wind-origin box. The square box continuously shrank, while rotating in layers, forming tens of thousands of different types of winds, which began to twist and kill Venerable Bing back and forth.

"This is a tangible tribulation! Once it descends, there is no avoiding it; Venerable Bing can only resist it head-on." Zhao Xing stared carefully at the formation of those winds, continuously sensing them.

"There are cold winds from the Dao Ancient layer, and solar winds blowing from the largest giant sun star in the Xuanling Star System. Some of these winds come from the Witch Sea, some from the extreme ice regions—"

In the eyes of a Siron like Zhao Xing, wind is not only divided by attributes but also by region; this is the regional division of wind power by Sirons.

Zhao Xing can remember every kind of wind from places he has personally visited, but now the Wind Spirit Tribulation that Venerable Bing is undergoing has billions of types of winds.

Many of them Zhao Xing had never seen before, and each one was extremely powerful. Even the wind of spiritual energy, in this narrow space, was not a help to Venerable Bing, but became a death-inducing agent.

"Break, break, break!" Venerable Bing threw out his Dao weapons without regard for his life.

Among them were several Force Divine Artifacts.

But under the eleventh Wind Spirit Tribulation, the power of the divine artifacts was quickly worn away.

The essence of True Spirit Tribulation is the operation of the cosmic Dao origin and natural laws. Even if one can resist with divine artifacts for a while, one will soon be trapped again.

Unless protected by an especially powerful Great Dao God Weapon, but the Great Dao God Weapons that can withstand True Spirit Tribulation are extremely rare.

In most cases, they can only be used once, and the second time they have no effect at all, because divine weapons refined from Great Dao origin materials are ultimately part of the cosmic rules.

Being able to avoid it for a while does not mean avoiding it for a lifetime.

Therefore, the same method cannot be used to undergo tribulation multiple times, at most only once. This is also the reason why demigod resources are precious.

"Hmm? This Venerable Yu actually has some substance." Zhao Xing quickly lost interest in Venerable Bing.

Because this person was not tough enough and didn't dare to resist the tribulation himself at all, relying entirely on treasures.

However, his younger brother, Venerable Yu, took out a pair of blades.

Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing were both on the martial artist path, which is why the characters they sought from Martial God Yan Gao were given to them.

Yan Gao's characters are not just for protection, but can also be observed for Dao enlightenment to improve martial arts.

The twin blades used by Venerable Bing were top-grade reincarnation Dao weapons.

"Only life-bound Dao weapons can be fully activated, with mind and intent connected. In tribulation, unless they are particularly heaven-defying, divine artifacts are not as useful as top-grade reincarnation Dao weapons."

"Clearly, Venerable Bing trusts the twin blades in his hands more."

"Zhao Xing, I have a secret to tell you, spare my life." Venerable Yu, in the wind tribulation, actually still had the heart to

transmit his voice to Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing's gaze looked over. Venerable Yu's twin blades stirred up a wild wind, his posture dancing lightly in the box like a dancer.

His blade technique was extraordinary; the left-hand blade focused on defense, protecting his body, while the right-hand blade continuously emitted bursts of golden light, repeatedly probing into the wind origin and actively shattering various wind origins.

Zhao Xing examined it carefully and found that Venerable Yu's right-hand blade technique was Yang, and the left-hand blade technique was Yin, forming a perfect balance on his body.

And in this Yin-Yang balance, Venerable Yu placed himself at the equilibrium point, and a trace of vitality gradually appeared.

"Every time he performs his blade technique, his own martial body golden body becomes stronger by a point; he is actually using the Wind Spirit Tribulation to strengthen himself."

"This is the reward brought after successfully undergoing the tribulation."

"Not simple." Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Venerable Yu is probably very confident in passing the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, but in the data, it was said that his brother was stronger. It seems he has always been hiding his strength."

Being able to have the heart to beg for his life shows he is extremely confident in passing the tribulation.

Venerable Yu must have seen that even after passing the eleventh tribulation, he would not be able to defeat Zhao Xing in his Hou Bian state.

"Zhao Xing, I beg you to give me a chance! I am willing to repent, willing to compensate." Venerable Yu roared, his voice full of the desire to survive.

Of course he was confident in passing the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, but he wouldn't take the initiative to undergo it; he would drag it out as long as possible. After all, being in the Carlos family, the need to undergo tribulation to become stronger was not great, unless it was to become a god.

After passing the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, the next True Spirit Tribulation would become even stronger, far exceeding the benefits gained from passing the tribulation.

"In Zhao Xing's current state, even if I pass the eleventh tribulation, I won't be able to survive. If he triggers my twelfth True Spirit Tribulation, I'll be dead for sure." Venerable Yu was extremely anxious in his heart.

During the tribulation process, he had no way to notify his brother and father, and besides, it was too late anyway.

Who could have thought that the two brothers would be assassinated? Who could have thought that Martial God Yan Gao's characters would disintegrate, and that Meng Wu was not here to save people but to collect divine power?

Perhaps they had thought about it, but having been comfortable for too long and in power for too long, they didn't take it to heart. They didn't even carry powerful divine artifacts with them. After all, this was just a very small incorporation operation.

However, tribulations often arise in such inadvertent moments.

Zhao Xing, with his immense strength, had driven them into a dead end.

There was no other path to take but to bow his head and beg Zhao Xing for mercy.

"The operation of cosmic laws still gives people a glimmer of hope. Siron Zhao, you are a model for all Sirons in the world; are you really unwilling to spare my life? I will tell you the secret, and then I will immediately reincarnate. The Great Emperor has regulations for veteran-level families like ours: once children reincarnate, they will no longer enjoy protection, and all karma will be eliminated. I will no longer be a threat to you!"

Venerable Yu's desire to survive was simply maxed out.

Because at this moment, his wind tribulation and his brother's wind tribulation were slowly dissipating.

But his brother was already gone, melted and crushed in the wind origin, drifting with the wind to all parts of the universe, completely indistinguishable from each other.

He had passed this wind tribulation, but Zhao Xing was still beside him; this was the greatest tribulation!

"Venerable Bing's origin aura has completely disappeared." Zhao Xing watched the gradually disappearing void wind.

"It can't be distinguished, nor can it be gathered or pieced together. Dying under True Spirit Tribulation means one cannot even reverse time and space to resurrect. Because in this era, he no longer exists at all." Zhao Xing had an epiphany in his heart.

Theoretically speaking, if there were a powerful God King willing to take Venerable Bing from a certain point in the past and bring him to the past, he could still live at an earlier point in time.

But Venerable Bing is just a small character; which God King would be willing to cross layers of space-time blockades just to save a small character?

What's more, as far as the past Venerable Bing is concerned, that would also be very confusing. I am living well, and you say I will die in the future,

so you want to take me away? Are you crazy!

This would be treated as a proper Evil God.

"Venerable Yu, then you should speak." Zhao Xing said calmly. "You must think carefully; you only have one chance. If this secret cannot satisfy me, you will still be unable to escape death."

"Yes." Venerable Yu, who had passed the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, lowered his posture and desperately flattered Zhao Xing: "With Siron Zhao's talent and current strength, I am just a small character. After reincarnation, it is impossible to catch up to you, and I will never be a threat to you again—"

"Alright, speak quickly." Zhao Xing interrupted Venerable Yu.

"Siron Zhao, the secret I am talking about concerns the Black Abyss and the Lord of Cold Food," Venerable Yu said.

"Ever since Bowei released a God King incarnation called the Lord of Cold Food, a Black Abyss has appeared near the Black Sky Desolate Domain, and many altars have appeared."

"Evil God altars, right? You call this a secret?" Zhao Xing interrupted again. "I now have hope of reaching the God Realm;

could it be that I can't find out the intelligence you know?"

"No, no, no—" Venerable Yu was sweating profusely. "I didn't mean that. Of course you might know, but as a member of the Carlos family, I know many specific details."

"Back then, the God Realm of the Primordial Heavenly Palace went to investigate and subsequently sent many demigods to monitor the situation in various Desolate Domains, because if one wants to hide, the Desolate Domain is the best place to hide."

"Of course you have an understanding of the overall situation, but the news I am talking about is something I analyzed myself."

Seeing Zhao Xing looking impatient, Venerable Yu could only say quickly: "In addition to the Black Abyss in the Black Sky Desolate Domain being out in the open, there should be such altars in various Desolate Domain belts."

"In the past two years, many geniuses at the Origin Realm and Dao Domain Realm have emerged in various parts of the Xuanling Star System. I analyzed their experiences, and they all have similar characteristics: they suddenly had significant growth after entering a certain Desolate Domain."

"Because this data comes from vassals controlled by my Carlos family, or from foreign demon territory, I am the only one who knows this inference."

Zhao Xing stared carefully at Venerable Yu, then took out a mirror and reflected the other party in it.

"Senior, is what he said true?"

The artifact spirit of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror nodded.

"The dimensions that the God Realm focuses on are different. If they only focus on high-end power, they view these events as a short-term, high-intensity accident."

"Suppose the Evil God left behind space-time altars, not intending to bewitch Emperors and demigods, but those Origin Realm and

Dao Domain Realm geniuses with decent talent, intending to fight a protracted war?"

"If the altar in the Black Sky Desolate Domain is a decoy placed in the open, and one thinks everything is safe after removing it, then it is indeed very easy to overlook some details."

Zhao Xing pondered: "In this way, Venerable Yu has really contributed a good piece of intelligence to me."

"This credit shouldn't be low. Did Venerable Yu not have time to report it?"

The artifact spirit of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror said: "I don't think it's necessarily that he didn't have time to report it. Maybe this guy wanted to try it himself; he had the idea of being a space-time spy."

"Don't kill him yet; take him back and interrogate him. I feel he can still spill more information, which will also be helpful to your plan."

Zhao Xing nodded, grabbed Venerable Yu, and began to use the Desire Dream Method on him, letting him sink into an endless illusion.

"Martial God Yan Gao told me not to torture him out of hatred, to avoid my mind being clouded by hatred and affecting my Dao heart."

"Now I am torturing him for the safety of the entire Xuanling Star System, not for pleasure."

Zhao Xing's mind was very calm. He began to return to Imperial territory, while at the same time, in the Desire Dream illusion, he separated a thought to observe Venerable Yu's experiences time and time again.

The mind of a person in a dream is the most fragile, and any secret might be revealed. At the same time, the soul will not collapse, whereas some methods of interrogating for intelligence can easily lead to the collapse of the True Spirit.

Zhao Xing tortured Venerable Yu with the Desire Dream Method for a long time, but found that this person never revealed the secret.

His True Spirit was about to collapse, but it was still uncontrollable.

Zhao Xing was also very confused. He carefully observed hundreds of cycles before he got the reason.

"Killing Venerable Yu is easy, but interrogating him is even more difficult than dealing with Fu Mengzhen."

"Because he has received the blessing of the Free God, he can be killed, but cannot be possessed, cannot be enslaved.

Either die, or maintain the independence of the soul. This is the protection of a certain Mind God of the Empire for Venerable Yu."

"Although the Desire Dream Method is good, it cannot interrogate Venerable Yu. It seems I can only take him back first and remove this layer of protection," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"However, this is just right; it can be used as a means for the second stage of attacking the Carlos family."

Zhao Xing took Venerable Yu and returned directly to the Primordial Realm.

In the seventy-fifth year of the Second Era of the Desolate Domain, the news that Venerable Bing and Venerable Yu were one dead and one injured spread like wildfire.

It immediately caused a great shock.

"What? The Carlos family, two demigods, actually one dead and one injured? Who did it?"

"I heard Zhao Xing did it."

"How is that possible? When did Zhao Xing become a demigod?"

"How is it impossible? The subtlety of Siron Zhao's dharma theories is something you laymen don't understand at all. In the eyes of a Siron, he has long been a demigod-like figure."

"Now that the Yanxing Ancient Path has been sold, isn't it normal for Siron Zhao to have such strength?"

"But those are demigods of the Carlos family. This is too strong, isn't it? Only two thousand years, and such progress?"

"The Carlos family is also too unlucky. They are used to bullying people, and this time they hit an iron plate."

"Yo? It's the Carlos family. How are they unlucky? Tell me in detail."

"It's a long story. Back when Siron Zhao was developing the Yanxing Ancient Path, he was ambushed by these two, which caused the development progress of the ancient path to be delayed a lot—"

"..."

Public opinion spread, shocking more than half of the Xuanling Star System.

Since the Desolate Domain Era, whether it was the war with the demon race or the expansion war with the Tianze Star Domain, the total number of demigods who died in the two eras combined did not exceed twenty.

But now, one has actually died. This news immediately caused a sensation.

The three older brothers of Venerable Bing of the Carlos family were also incomparably angry.

"Too much bullying! Zhao Xing actually killed Bing'er? And didn't even give him a chance to reincarnate?" A man with fiery red skin and a black moon pattern on his brow slammed the table and stood up.

"That's right, Big Brother, we must retaliate, otherwise the prestige of the Carlos family will be gone!" Another figure, identical to the black moon man, also stood up angrily.

"Yiping, Yile, sit down first." Sitting in the first seat, a green-robed man stroking the strings of a zither said calmly.

He is the first son of the Carlos priest, Fu Jin.

"What you want to do, I wanted to do three hours ago," Fu Jin said calmly. "But, just as I was about to act, I was warned by the Mind General 'Qiluo'."

"What?" Yiping and Yile sat down immediately.

Mind General Qiluo is more famous among the high-level officials of the Empire than Yan Gao.

Although Martial God Yan Gao has brilliant battle records and strong strength, he does not care about the trivial matters of fighting among subordinates.

But Mind General Qiluo is known as the Judicial Heavenly God of the Empire.

The Great Emperor inherited some systems from the Five Emperors era. The Judicial Heavenly God manages gods, which is of course terrifying. But the Red Star Empire is not as strong as the Five Emperors era and doesn't have so many gods for him to manage, so demigods who theoretically have hope of becoming gods are also under his supervision.

Of course, those below demigod level are not worth Mind General Qiluo taking action.

If they were warned by the Mind General, it proves that their two younger brothers violated some taboos, at least—they are not clean!

"Big Brother, do you mean that Bing'er and the others violated taboos?" Yiping and Yile asked cautiously. "I'm not sure, but no armed action is allowed. This is a warning," Fu Jin said. "I heard Yu is still alive, so let's wait and see the situation for now."

The Carlos family wanted to wait and see, but Zhao Xing's second stage of the attack had also begun.

Zhao Xing gathered his former partners: Du Yun, Tuo Sen, Yang Baihe, Emperor Heihai of the Shenhai Building, Emperor Chengxing of the Ziwu Heavenly God Hall, as well as Emperor Tianwu of the Primordial Heavenly Palace who owed him favors, Emperor Chixiao whom he met on Jixing Island, the Prince of Tianyou Kingdom whom he saved before, now the ruler Liang Rui, Emperor Yushu of the Ancient Kingdom Alliance, etc., and declared war on the Carlos family.

In the seventieth year of the Second Era of the Desolate Domain, a battle that used economic encirclement as a method but was actually a battle of karma began.

"Ji Si, put this on." Zhao Xing lent the palm bone of the Xue Rui Luck God to Ji Si, and then handed the Eight Directions Divine Mirror to Ji Si.

Ji Si could be considered to have seen big scenes, and he calmly took the two things.

As a result, the next moment, the words "Holy crap" slipped out.

This caused the karmic incarnations in the Mind Hall to cast their gazes over.

"Lord Ji, what happened to you?"

"Venerable Ji, what went wrong?" Emperor Heihai of the Shenhai Building asked hurriedly.

He had just ordered the cutoff of the sea market supply to the Carlos family from the Nanling Sea territory. Could there be something wrong with this decision?

"Venerable Ji, is our intensity not high enough?" Emperor Heihai asked cautiously. The first step was to cut off the Carlos family's foreign trade market, because this step was relatively critical.

Most of the Carlos family's debt is held abroad.

The reason is also very simple: the Carlos family can borrow cheap money abroad, so why not use it?

"No, it has nothing to do with you—everyone continue." Ji Si realized he had lost his composure and immediately returned to a calm expression.

The others did not suspect anything and continued their actions.

Ji Si, however, was trembling with excitement.

He opened a separate barrier with Zhao Xing to chat: "Great Siron, where did you get such good things! It's simply—simply eye-opening!"

"Is it easy to use?" Zhao Xing asked.

"It's too damn easy to use!" Ji Si couldn't help but swear.

The Xue Rui Luck God bone directly raised his luck level to Yan Thirty. The Eight Directions Divine Mirror is even a Fate Master divine artifact.

If he had these two treasures in the last karmic battle, would he have had to walk between life and death, and would he have had to have nightmares every day?

Ji Si had never fought such a wealthy war!

"As long as it's easy to use," Zhao Xing laughed. "Return the bone afterwards. You can try the mirror to see if you can get the recognition of the artifact spirit senior."

"Okay, okay."

Ji Si was suddenly full of confidence.

Once the dispute began, Zhao Xing's side gained the upper hand.

Because Venerable Yu was captured alive and handed over to Mind General Qiluo for detention by Zhao Xing through the channel of Venerable Xinghuo.

This caused the Carlos family to be afraid of damaging the vase. The intensity of their counterattack appeared very weak.

Except for verbal protests against those cooperative forces that broke their contracts, there was almost no substantial action.

This weakness immediately caused a big problem.

Old-school nobles saw that the situation was not good and began to prepare to cut ties, or bet on both sides, neither offending the Carlos family nor giving money to Zhao Xing's side.

In just five years, most of the foreign business was cut off. Except for the business supported by the Empire's officialdom,

almost all private business came to a standstill.

This scene simply dropped the jaws of all the major forces that operated chambers of commerce.

How could the once-arrogant Carlos family be so weak?

"Quick, quick, dump all the debt notes of the Carlos family!" The Vice Island Master of the Wanxin Mother River roared in a star mirror hall.

"Island Master, it's too late, no one is taking them!"

"Sell them to Zhao Xing's side; they want to strike the Carlos family, they must have a need!" The Vice Island Master in charge of business operations for the Wanxin Mother River had a trembling voice.

He seemed to see countless karmic causes rising through commercial activities, about to spread to the major star systems of the Empire.

"Island Master, what kind of price should we negotiate?"

"Negotiate my foot, sell at a discount, sell as long as there is money! Hurry up and contact the Dazhou Chamber of Commerce!"

"Yes, yes!"

In the Four Seasons Palace, Palace Master Jixia was discussing with the four palace masters.

"Raise prices, all of you damn well raise prices! All economic crops sold to the star systems controlled by Carlos, raise prices by fifty times!"

"All cargo world-ships that have already been sent out, turn them all back for me!"

"Teacher, this will cause us to suffer heavy losses ourselves, assuming the Carlos family buys seeds from other channels." Someone below raised a question.

"Less nonsense, just do as I say. The losses will be quickly earned back later, execute immediately!" Palace Master Jixia roared.

Waiting for the disciples to execute, Palace Master Jixia looked at the intelligence sent by Xinghuo, feeling a cold sweat in his heart while also being incomparably fortunate.

"Even Venerable Wudu has clearly supported it, and sixteen Primordial Envoys are involved. What cheap seeds can the Carlos family still buy?"

"Fifty times? In another year, they will have to buy at a hundred times!"

"Ordinary chamber of commerce restriction orders are one thing," Palace Master Zhongxia couldn't help but say. "But the cultivation Dao seeds used by those above the Origin Realm are restricted by region from the life origin zone. In any territory belonging to Carlos, not a single Dao seed can survive."

"This should be the method of a Venerable, right? Can such a prohibition order be successfully issued from the Primordial Realm?"

Palace Master Lindong laughed: "No need to think, it must be the Venerable's method. You don't know, more than a thousand years ago, Wudu was an Emperor. After getting a dividend from the disciples of the Dazhou Chamber of Commerce, he was in the middle of impacting the True Spirit Tribulation."

"As a result, he was forced to come out of seclusion by the Carlos family."

"Later, although they reconciled, everyone has witnessed Wudu's temperament."

"He has no family and no private forces. This is a deep hatred of blocking his Dao. How could he let it go?"

"That's true," Palace Master Jixia nodded. "There has never been so-called 'letting go', only 'forget it' out of helplessness due to insufficient strength."

"Now that Wudu has become a Venerable, I think the Carlos family will have enough to drink."

"Why is everyone attacking Carlos? What exactly happened?"

"Don't worry about it, shorting Carlos at this time is making money. Brother, stop cultivating, hurry and borrow some money to take a slash!"

"Coming!"

In this karmic battle, the Carlos family could be said to be retreating steadily.

In the sixtieth year of the Second Era of the Desolate Domain, the Carlos family, let alone counterattacking, could barely even resist.

"The once-tough Carlos family, as long as they show the slightest weakness, will face a situation where everyone pushes them down."

"Since the Empire developed the Desolate Domain, a large amount of wealth has been divided, and the wealthy class of internal forces will have to be reshuffled."

"The Great Emperor does not spend the money of the poor. This can be seen in the policy of developing ancient paths. Large forces are always losing money year after year,"

"while small and medium forces are often making money."

"Dazhou, as the initiator this time, is hunting the big cargo that is the Carlos family. The purpose is only one," Zhao Xing emphasized his philosophy at an expanded partner meeting: "For the wealth harvested from the Carlos family, Dazhou only takes the small share. I have already made appropriate adjustments according to the proportion everyone had in the chamber of commerce back then."

"Attacking the big with the small, one must attack more and more fiercely!"

"Everyone, take a look at this contract."

Du Yun looked at the dividend ratio re-issued by Zhao Xing and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Because his staff told him that Dazhou's approach, assuming there are some obstacles in the attack, will cause great injury.

Even if the harvest is completed, it will be difficult for Dazhou to have large gains in the short term.

"Brother Zhao is really ruthless. He would rather lose a piece of his own flesh than slaughter the Carlos family?"

"However, only with such momentum can one challenge the operations of the Carlos family over hundreds of eras."

Du Yun immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go, immediately withdraw all liquid funds from my territory. Don't worry about any conversion or calculation; as long as it can enter the Empire, bring it all to me. I want to accompany Brother Zhao to slay the dragon!"

"In addition, hand over all talented Fate Masters to Ji Si to lead, and let them seize the opportunity!"

"If this wave of karmic battle is won, they will all be Lord-level in the future!"

"Yes, Prefecture Master." Du Yun's staff immediately went to mobilize troops and funds.

The forty-fifth world-star year of the Second Era of the Desolate Domain.

Fu Jin was in his palace, looking at the bad news being delivered to his desk, his brow furrowed.

In front of him was an upright Bagua diagram, and beside it was a star map.

It marked the territory of the Carlos family and the many locations of their operations.

At this moment, sixty percent of them had lit up with red dots, which represented dangerous signals and difficulties in non-armed conflicts.

The remaining half were also on high alert.

Especially the mid-to-high-end cultivation crops, herbs, and troop types were the hardest-hit areas, showing extreme scarcity!

"In just over thirty years, the collapse has been so fast."

Fu Jin's gaze passed through the palace walls and landed on another Bagua Hall.

Inside were the Fate Masters cultivated by his Carlos family. At this moment, almost all the elites were transferred here.

In the past thirty-plus years, these Fate Masters were either calculating or taking drugs every day.

Even so, more than half of them already had white hair.

"Shen Yue, what are our chances of winning?" Fu Jin walked into the Fate Master Palace and asked the Fate Master at the very top.

She was also a demigod Fate Master. Before entering this confrontation palace, she was very beautiful, with fair skin, exquisite features, and an outstanding temperament, like a fairy.

But now, Shen Yue looked like an old woman.

She was the strongest Fate Master of their Carlos family, but in just thirty-five years, she had become like this.

Shen Yue was an old acquaintance of Fu Jin since childhood, having accompanied Fu Jin since they were young.

Seeing her like this, Fu Jin couldn't help but feel unbearable.

"Young Master, if we continue to persist with the current strategy of only resisting and not attacking, we can hold on for at most eighty more years," Shen Yue said.

"So short?" Fu Jin wanted to hold on until there was a conclusion about his brother's matter, but he didn't expect Shen Yue to say only eighty years.

"Yes, time and fate are on Zhao Xing's side," Shen Yue said pointedly.

Fu Jin understood: "Father has occupied a high position for many years and mastered many resources, but has been unable to break through to the God Realm. And Zhao Xing has more hope of becoming a god. Guluohe tacitly allowed Wudu to set up that kind of prohibition, and Mind General Qiluo has been dragging out the ruling on my brother, making us afraid of damaging the vase."

"Father, however, was sent to explore the Black Abyss at this time—"

Fu Jin suddenly realized: It's not that time and fate are on Zhao Xing's side; it's that the gods are on Zhao Xing's side. The Carlos family has been abandoned by the gods.

This battle, no matter how it is fought, is useless.

Fu Jin even felt that if this continued, the Carlos family would only see the Mind General's ruling at the moment they fell!

Fu Jin seemed to see countless Zhao Xings outside, laughing at him.

It's time to stop, Fu Jin thought in his heart.

He sighed and sent a spirit medicine into Shen Yue's body: "Shen Yue, contact Zhao Xing through the karmic line."

"Young Master, are you sure?" Shen Yue hesitated. "I still have the strength for one battle."

"No, there's no need," Fu Jin said calmly. "We admit defeat."
