Chapter 524

The grudge between Zhao Xing and Carlos has a long history, dating back to when Zhao Xing first participated in the Primordial Assembly.

At that time, Zhao Xing was too weak; even when the territory conquered by the Great Zhou was destroyed by the agent of the Carlos family, Lord Rainbow Moon, he had no choice but to endure it.

Back then, the Empire's Great Wilderness Development Plan had not yet begun, and the conflict of interests in the Annihilated Star Corridor was not particularly significant.

Later, he purchased the development rights for the Annihilated Star Ancient Path from Ruyin Carlos.

Ruyin Carlos once sent someone to find Zhao Xing, demanding to rejoin the development and get a share of the profits, but Zhao Xing ruthlessly rejected him.

This was because, at that time, he already had Emperor Venerable Hong Shan, Emperor Wudu, Emperor Lushan, and Zuo Zuo Qiyu as shareholders.

Furthermore, Bowei attended the thirty-two Dharma Assemblies, so even if they wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't.

Later, having found Meng Wu of the Martial God Palace as a backer, Zhao Xing originally thought the Carlos family wouldn't have any 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 began plotting again.

This was because the profits generated along the Annihilated Star Ancient Path were so immense that they even attracted the interest of that Carlos Venerable.

And since Zhao Xing, the actual controller, was missing, the Carlos family made two relatively serious moves during the two thousand years of his disappearance.

They wanted to kick the Great Zhou and Zhao Xing out of the game and obtain a portion of the rights to the Annihilated Star Ancient Path.

"Ji Si, what is this intelligence about?" Zhao Xing immediately found Ji Si to inquire about the situation from back then.

"Great Si Nong, at that time, Wudu and Venerable Hong Shan were still in the midst of breaking through to become demigods, and Carlos, being a demigod family, had immense power."

"In the end, I had to seek help from Meng Wu of the Martial God Palace, and under his intervention, we managed to survive 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 merging the 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."

"In the middle two hundred years of the 1998 solar years of the Wilderness Era's 2nd Epoch, except for the plant-based raw materials, troop types, and star-land materials supplied by the Primordial Hill, almost everything else—the Dao soldier materials, elixirs, artifact refining materials, and weaving bureau supplies used for our Annihilated Star Ancient Path—increased in price by more than fifty times."

Ji Si sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that the harvest from that cave dwelling was sufficient and the Great Si Nong had left behind ample funds, we would have collapsed during the first wave of the siege."

"Afterward, the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce increased Emperor Bi Sui's shareholding ratio, and combined with the efforts of the Great Si Nong's friends in the Primordial Realm, we finally stabilized the supply of daily necessities, but 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 powerless against this kind of commercial behavior targeting the Great Zhou.

In this capital war, it was truly easy for the deep-pocketed Carlos family to short the Great Zhou.

"We tightened our debt ratios, cut off 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 in it."

"Even Senior Venerable Hong Shan 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 as a result, leaving only the exploration route you originally planned, which had no problems because of the cooperation with the Martial God Palace's direction."

Zhao Xing merged the memories of the 'Annihilated Star Clone,' and suddenly, a tragic 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 the Great Zhou and the Carlos family; it was also a struggle between the new and old power elites.

Although the Great Zhou became rich overnight after digging out more than three thousand cave dwellings, compared to an epoch-spanning family like Carlos, they were not yet a financial giant. Even with Emperor Wudu, Zuo Zuo Qiyu, and Emperor Venerable Hong Shan calling on their friends, they were still at a disadvantage.

At the most intense point, the arrays and mechanisms on the Annihilated Star Ancient Path were losing 100,000 Five-Emperor Coins every day they operated—equivalent to one Emperor-level entity going bankrupt every single day!

Killing without drawing blood; the Carlos family used this method to force the Great Zhou and Zhao Xing to make concessions and let them get a share of the profits.

"The turning point came seventy-eight years later, when two Origin Realms and one Annihilation Realm were discovered in succession along the Annihilated Star Ancient Path," Ji Si said.

"This was the second major harvest after the cross-domain boundary ship and the cave dwelling inheritance were discovered."

"Ten years later, I, Emperor Venerable Hong Shan, 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: "The Great Zhou is 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 is destined not to perish," Ji Si said somewhat trance-like. "If it had been a little later, it would have been over."

"We survived that time, but we also felt the power of the Carlos family, so this intelligence was just kept on file; we were powerless to launch any counterattack."

"The Carlos family is bullying people too much." Zhao Xing immediately gathered the key personnel and communicated through causality.

Yu~

Venerable Wudu, Venerable Venerable Hong Shan, and Venerable Lushan each sent a causal incarnation to descend.

Upon seeing Ji Si, they all nodded to him.

"Kid, before you talk about this Carlos matter, I have to tell you one more thing first," Venerable Wudu said, pointing at Ji Si.

"Back then, your true self was not here. There was a portion of demigod resources that should have been left for you, but it was given to Ji Si. I, Emperor Venerable Hong Shan, including Bi Sui and Zuo Zuo Qiyu, all unanimously agreed to it."

"He led the Great Zhou to win the vast majority of the wars on the causal 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: "Great Si Nong, I was just lucky; it doesn't count as any real skill."

"Ji Si, this child, doesn't claim credit, but we have to help him speak up, lest you cause a misunderstanding," Wudu said.

"That's right," Emperor Bi Sui nodded: "That commercial war radiated across multiple industries, and the geography involved nearly half the empire. Seven or eight super-first-class star systems were affected."

"Commercial actions also represent the intertwined causal destinies of countless people."

"At that time, in your Great Zhou, Ji Si was the main decision-maker!"

"I, Venerable Hong Shan, Wudu, and the others could only be considered assistants at the time, because the main body of the mining rights was the Great Zhou and you."

"Because no matter what, the causal destinies involved in countless commercial actions would inevitably feed back or backlash onto the Great Zhou here."

"Others couldn't replace him."

Emperor Venerable Hong Shan nodded: "At that time, the 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's equivalent to passing a True Spirit Tribulation."

"

"When the causal entanglements of countless people were on Ji Si, if Ji Si's decision-making had been wrong by even a little bit at that time, it would have led to the causal backlash of countless families being destroyed; it was absolutely terrifying."

A scene suddenly appeared in Zhao Xing's mind: countless late nights, Ji Si standing in the Tianji Pavilion, bearing the causal destinies of countless people, while also facing the attacks of countless causal lines.

Such causal battles were no less intense than the causal war that Old Qing, Wei Ling Tianchen, Bowei, the Demon Race, and the Heavenly Master Mansion had fought against him.

On countless late nights, Ji Si would be forced into dreams to heal his wounds, only to wake up in a start countless times.

During this period, he even took the time to request Yang Baihe to find his whereabouts and spoke with Wang 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 more words.

Of course, the feedback after surviving this battle was also very strong, 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 Great Si Nong and His Majesty," Ji Si just replied lightly, as if that were a distant, light past.

"Having suffered a loss, there is no reason not to retaliate," Zhao Xing looked at Ji Si, Wudu, Venerable Hong Shan, and the others.

"Now that I am back, teachers, are you willing to support me in having another go with the Carlos family?"

"Good disciple, I have been waiting for these words from you for a long time," Emperor Wudu said with great joy: "These hairless bad seeds forced me out of seclusion once, riding on my head to shit and piss; this anger has been bottled up in me for a thousand years! I, your grandfather, have never endured for so long!"

Wudu seemed very excited: "Old Venerable Hong Shan, are you in?"

"I actually haven't fought with anyone for a long time; harmony is precious," Venerable Venerable Hong Shan said slowly.

"Old Venerable Hong Shan, stop pretending. Don't think I don't know how you got the title of Eight-Armed Demon God back then."

Venerable Venerable Hong Shan sighed and said: "That was all a long time ago."

"Stop the nonsense, just say if you're in or not."

Venerable Venerable Hong Shan looked at Zhao Xing: "Zhao Xing, of course I am willing to help you."

"However, I am a person of the Primordial Hill; it is ultimately not good to intervene in the internal strife of the Empire. Just as I said before, the Great Zhou and you are the main body."

"You have to face the impact of the Carlos family directly."

Venerable Venerable Hong Shan's words indicated his attitude: he was willing to help, but he was also worried about whether Zhao Xing could hold up.

Hearing Venerable Venerable Hong Shan's words, Zhao Xing didn't say a word and began to stick needles into himself.

While sticking them, he said: "Teacher, seniors, I am currently a ninth-rank demigod, but—Boom!"

A wild surge of energy swallowed Zhao Xing, and then a giant hand, dark black all over with a singularity in the palm, appeared.

The next second, Zhao Xing completed his transformation, sporting double horns and thick hair, with robust muscles and Nine-Marsh Secret Patterns circling his body.

He walked out from the flames.

"Now, I am a tenth-rank demigod! I can maintain this state for at least about three days; this is the change brought by the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle."

Zhao Xing understood that to group up for a fight, he had to be tough enough himself, so he immediately revealed some of his trump cards.

"This is not the end yet," Zhao Xing roared, Red Lotus magic power, Green Lotus magic power, Cangming magic power, and Xuanhun magic power, four magic powers blessed him.

The body of the Nine-Marsh Divine Descendant underwent another astonishing change; the hair retracted, the horns retracted, becoming closer to a human, and the muscle lines of his body, as well as the fluctuations of Qi and origin, became more perfect.

"Now, I am at the peak of the eleventh rank!" Zhao Xing had powerful confidence in his red eyes.

This was the improvement brought by the four types of magic power, and only the body of the Nine-Marsh Divine Descendant could accept the amplification of four magic powers merging simultaneously.

"In this state, I can maintain it for more than half a month," Zhao Xing said.

"Not only that, I also obtained all of Wei Ling Tianchen's inheritance, including the Five Great Divine Medicine series."

"Teacher Venerable Hong Shan, do you want to see my state after taking the medicine?"

Even though Emperor Venerable Hong Shan was only a causal incarnation present, he couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Xing's momentum at this moment.

Peak of the eleventh rank—this strength was already on par with his!

It was only one rank away from Emperor Wudu and Emperor Lushan.

And if he took the medicine? Emperor Venerable Hong Shan had heard of Wei Ling Tianchen's Five Great Divine Medicines.

At most, one could obtain a three-rank increase in strength!

"That's enough, that's enough—" Emperor Venerable Hong Shan hurriedly stopped Zhao Xing from taking the medicine; it would be too wasteful to consume a divine medicine just for a demonstration.

"Wei Ling Tianchen's inheritance was actually received by you?" Venerable Lushan was also extremely curious about Zhao Xing's experiences.

"He dominated many epochs; I didn't expect him to die at your hands."

"No, senior, I didn't kill him," Zhao Xing shook his head and changed back into human form, "It's just that I'm not convenient to talk much about the experiences involved."

"Hmm," Venerable Lushan nodded. "I have no objections either."

As long as Zhao Xing wasn't acting on impulse, 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 Bi Sui 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: "We will retaliate against the Carlos family in the same way they retaliated against us; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

"They ambushed us once, so I will ambush them once. Once the Yan God Military Department intervenes, or the higher-ups intervene, we will then shift to a commercial siege."

Zhao Xing also had a certain understanding of the Red Star Emperor; the Emperor did not care about struggles below the God Realm.

To the Emperor, except for monstrous talents, he wouldn't take a second look, and struggles were beneficial to ensuring the vitality of the Empire, preventing the social strata from becoming completely solidified.

Zhao Xing had also seen a thing or two about this from the classics of Yu Shenzhou.

However, there was more than one God Realm entity in the Empire; the Emperor was a God King and wouldn't pay attention to these matters, but there must be other gods watching.

For example, that Martial God in the Yan God Star System might intervene when the scope of the struggle became too large and the situation escalated.

This could be seen from Meng Wu's actions back then; Meng Wu represented the will of the Yan God, and it was also Meng Wu who took action twice to force the Carlos family to shift from military action to commercial war.

This point should be the same for the Carlos family and for himself. Zhao Xing didn't expect preferential treatment, but as long as there was relative fairness, it would be enough.

He believed that he could now receive this respect because Gu Luohe's previous words gave him this confidence, as that statement expressed the meaning: he had already entered the shortlist for the God Realm!

"The first stage will only be done by me and the people of the 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 causal war, a military war, or the subsequent commercial war, Zhao Xing and the Great Zhou would lead as the main body.

If Venerable Venerable Hong Shan were the main body, or Wudu were the main body, the nature of the matter would change.

Wudu didn't have his own family or private 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 Hong Shan or Venerable 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 matter himself.

"In the second stage, I will notify all partners, my friends; those with people will provide people, those with money will provide money, and those with strength will provide strength."

"At that time, we'll see if the Carlos family's head is harder, or if ours is."

Next, the few old monsters, Zhao Xing, and Ji Si began to discuss the details.

"First, let's confirm one point: is the main target of the retaliation a specific trunk of the Carlos family, or a branch?"

"No restrictions; it is a war against the entire Carlos family," Zhao Xing said.

"That ancestor of the Carlos family is at least a fifteenth-rank demigod, and he has quite a few divine objects," Venerable Lushan said.

"He's just an old guy with one foot in the grave! Does he dare to fight with all his might? Having lived for so long, if he dares to fight with all his might, he will immediately trigger the sixteenth True Spirit Tribulation!"

Wudu laughed: "Besides, we don't have the opportunity to have a direct military conflict with him. Once we enter the second stage, he won't be able to take action either."

"Zhao Xing, have you thought about to what extent you want to fight? What goal do you want to achieve?"

"The Carlos family has five main trunks, and his five sons are all demigods," Zhao Xing said lightly: "In the first stage,"

"If we can kill a few, that would be best, but it cannot be within the Empire's territory."

"And in the second stage, we will attack their pillar industries. I will give his five sons a choice: either be our dogs, or be wiped out."

"Good, very good! But in that case, the plan for the first stage must have enough lethality."

". ·I manage many things in the Primordial Realm, and I just happen to know where two of his sons are going, hehehe..." Emperor Wudu laughed sinisterly.

Time: 77 star-years remaining until the 3rd Epoch of the Wilderness Era.

Location: Imperial vassal dynasty, Taram Dynasty, Yunni Star System.

At this moment, on the Imperial capital administrative planet of the Yunni Star System, two massive boundary ship fleets passed through the boundary wall and descended here.

Yunni Star was rich in spiritual energy; various spiritual mountains, continents, and spiritual lakes were strictly regulated, giving it a sense of artificial construction.

At this moment, the entire Yunni boundary star was cheering and celebrating, with crowds celebrating everywhere.

Prince Ram stood on the high level of the palace, overlooking the scene below, his face carrying a sincere smile.

This was because the Taram Dynasty was finally going to be incorporated by the incomparably powerful Red Star Empire today.

This was 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 was only a Samsara-level lord, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the Siyue Domain.

"It is said that the Empire calls the Siyue Domain the Wilderness Domain; I really don't know how vast and magnificent the outside world is," Prince Ram sighed in his heart.

He was born relatively late and was currently only in the second stage of the Origin Realm; he had never been to the outside world at all.

And their information channels were also closed; they didn't know things comprehensively, and they even used the most rudimentary version of the Star Mirror.

"Obtaining a Star Mirror and gaining the right to know is just the simplest thing for citizens of the Empire, but for a Wilderness Dynasty like ours, it requires immense effort."

"Fortunately, two powerful demigods from the Empire will come to our Taram Star today."

"We will soon be able to go to the Empire for advanced studies, enjoy the spiritual energy so rich it drills into one's body, enjoy those incomparably powerful Dao soldiers that can shatter a sun with one strike, and all kinds of powerful and magical spells..."

Prince Ram fantasized.

He looked up at the boundary wall in the sky; through the visible boundary wall, 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 the Emperor and his royal uncle were both favored by the two demigods of this family. Today was a glorious moment for them to descend personally, not only to incorporate their entire Taram Dynasty so they could obtain the qualification of an Imperial vassal, but also to accept his father and uncle as disciples.

"I will also have a chance to pay my respects later; which set of Dharma robes should I wear?"

"Hmm, I heard that the Carlos family will also have many exceptionally talented women coming; if I could be favored by one of them, that would be great."

Prince Ram began to call his servants, letting them dress him up.

The great ceremony began when the sun star reached its peak.

Prince Ram stood in the royal palace welcoming procession, looking at the two fleets in the sky.

"As expected of an Imperial demigod family; I have never seen such a fleet. Just looking at it gives me immense pressure, making one's heart tremble."

"Our flying boundary wall actually dissipated automatically, and the two stars that gave us Origin Realm cultivation were actually fixed by their fleet."

As the appearance of the fleets became clearer, the crowd below began to cheer, surging like a tide.

Prince Ram also couldn't help but start shouting: "Carlos family, the powerful Carlos family, the great Empire!"

In the Carlos fleet, on the main ship, two demigods were watching Taram Star.

They were Venerable Bing and Venerable Yu; these two were of the second generation of the Carlos family and were also two of the more famous ones among the five demigods.

It wasn't because they were the strongest, but because they often walked in the world and appeared before people.

"The two guys from 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 brother, Venerable Bing.

After developing the Siyue Wilderness and opening up the ancient path, many indigenous races were naturally discovered along the way.

Among them, this Taram boundary star belonged to an area managed by 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 while drinking boundary wine, in a measured tone: "Now these two have grown up, and the bloodline power is relatively obvious."

"Later, I asked a friend in the Primordial Realm to check their life origin Dao charts, and I discovered that these two were very similar to the life Dao charts of a certain God race in the Tianze Star Domain."

The Tianze Star Domain was a spiritual energy territory discovered after the Empire opened up the Siyue Wilderness, but it was not as developed as the Xuanling Star System and would be conquered sooner or later.

"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 hope for the bloodline power to go further."

"Brother Yu, don't hold back then."

"Brother, you and I are brothers; if I have a discovery, would I not tell you?" Venerable Yu gave his word.

But in his heart, he was thinking about something else:

Researching this God race bloodline—if there were a discovery, it would inevitably involve the hope of becoming a god; how could he tell his brother?

The path to becoming a god is full of difficulties and obstacles; the brother is a fool, but I am not.

"Once the apprenticeship ceremony is over, leave the tedious process of incorporation to you," Venerable Bing said lightly. "Take them to the family territory and just find a planet to settle them."

"Just settle them casually?"

"Hmm, after so many years, only the two Taram brothers have stimulated the God race bloodline; the others probably have no hope, and I am too lazy to spend more effort."

"Where is brother going?" Venerable Yu asked.

"A Black Abyss has appeared in the Black Heaven Wilderness—" Venerable Bing lowered his voice. "Brother, have you heard of the Black Abyss?"

"Brother, I don't understand what you are saying; what is there?" Venerable Yu was puzzled.

"You really don't know?" Venerable Bing frowned.

"I really don't know," Venerable Yu said sincerely. "Alright, don't spread this; this is what father was talking about with someone, and I heard it unintentionally; it's still a top-secret file."

"Of course."

"Deep in the Black Abyss, it is rumored that there is an altar that can sacrifice to a certain god to obtain power, and perhaps even become a god—"

"What? There is actually such a thing?" Venerable Yu was shocked. "Sacrifice with what?"

"I don't know; the sacrificial materials are not yet clear—Alright, this is taboo; we cannot talk more about evil gods."

Venerable Bing suddenly stopped speaking.

"Hmm, we shouldn't talk more; evil gods all deserve to die," Venerable Yu said with his mouth, but in his heart, he kept thinking. Sacrifice?

And perhaps even become a god?

Prince Ram looked at the sky, shouting continuously.

But just at this moment, his vision suddenly darkened, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Prince Ram tried to recall the scene before he went blind: first, the Taiyin star seemed to go out, while the Sun star expanded extremely.

He was very puzzled, but didn't know what had happened.

However, the next moment, light descended again, only it was particularly dazzling.

Then Prince Ram saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

He saw that the boundary wall of the Taram boundary star had completely disappeared, exposed to the radiance of the starry sky.

The incomparably powerful fleet in the starry sky, like gods, the largest one at the front, had been broken into two pieces.

As for the rest of the fleet, it had completely disappeared.

Countless meteorite-like substances filled his vision, obscuring the starry sky.

Prince Ram almost suffocated.

He looked at the other half of the starry sky and saw, in the starry sky covered with gray stones, a figure surrounded by nine purple secret patterns, burning with flames all over.

This figure, looking like a god, was holding another boundary ship of the Carlos family in its hand.

"Heavens—" Prince Ram 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 grabbed the Carlos family's boundary ship, and the two demigods of the Carlos family were inside.

It was actually not difficult to ambush these two from the Carlos family.

Because these two were the kind of people who often walked in the world, and many of their itineraries were public.

Although this itinerary was not made public, Wudu knew it.

Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing 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?

So Zhao Xing just ambushed a grass-man clone on their path in advance, and when the two appeared, he immediately used non-distance teleportation to bring his true self over.

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 boundary ship fleet.

Only this boundary ship, the one where the two Carlos demigods were located, had a core cabin that was actually a divine object. "No wonder I couldn't crush it."

"However, fortunately, this is not a Dao Divine Weapon, but a Power Divine 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 Divine Weapon, but power left behind by a certain God Realm entity that protected this cabin.

As for who it was, it was not hard to find.

Zhao Xing examined it carefully and found a few words on the cabin: Yi, She, Fang Jie.

Following that was the inscription—Martial God Yan Gao, inscribed in the first year of the Wilderness Era.

"Martial God Yan's calligraphy?" Zhao Xing's expression changed.

He didn't expect that there would be Martial God Yan Gao's calligraphy on the cabin of these two.

This was not a Great Dao Divine Weapon, but it was superior to one!

Martial God Yan was a living Martial God; Great Dao Divine Weapons were theoretically stronger than Power Divine Weapons, but it also depended on whose power was left behind.

Zhao Xing absolutely could not break this cabin.

"From the account, do you know who we are? How dare you attack us!"

"Where did this monster come from, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth? We are from the Carlos family—"

Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing were startled at first, but seeing that Zhao Xing couldn't tear the cabin, they immediately regained their composure and began to threaten him.

"You don't know who I am? I am Zhao Xing!" Zhao Xing snorted coldly, "The victim who was bullied by you!"

"Zhao Xing? You've become a demigod? How is this possible—" Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing were stunned.

The strength Zhao Xing was showing now made them 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 who was in charge of the Annihilated Star Ancient Path; how could you two forget so quickly?" Zhao Xing laughed.

"Zhao Xing, don't talk nonsense," Venerable Yu said seriously: "We never did such a thing; on the contrary, you suddenly ambushed the nobles of the Empire, which is a major taboo and a serious violation of Imperial law."

"That's right, did you see the words on the cabin?" Venerable Bing warned: "That is the power left by Martial God Yan Gao,"

"And the Martial God Palace 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 the Empire's land; your incorporation has not been completed, so this is the Wilderness territory, following the exploration regulations, where one can kill freely."

"Secondly, Imperial law couldn't protect me back then, so it can't protect you now either!"

"Break for me!"

Zhao Xing roared, four-colored magic power fused through his whole body, and his power suddenly soared.

The cabin was squeezed by Zhao Xing's palm, making cracking sounds.

The sound of countless sharp claws tearing at the cabin wall made the two demigods inside tremble with fear.

Zhao Xing had to speed up; he couldn't let the Martial God Palace get involved.

He had to kill these two quickly, or 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 in the past; we can reconcile..."

The two venerables kept trying to persuade Zhao Xing.

"Reconcile?" Zhao Xing shouted angrily: "You think that's 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 words were a bit blurry, the words "Martial God Yan Gao" remained indestructible.

And it emitted a faint golden light, seemingly forming some kind of array. Zhao Xing could feel that some kind of power was truly crossing the void to come here.

"Bang!"

Under the final attack, Zhao Xing lost his grip, and he was sent flying.

Zhao Xing chased after him quickly, 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're saved!" Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing immediately had this thought in their hearts.

However, Meng Wu didn't look at Zhao Xing, but said to Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing inside.

"Yu, Bing, back then the teacher inscribed: Benevolence, Righteousness, Trust, Courage, Propriety, Filial Piety, Loyalty, and to abstain from arrogance, extravagance, lewdness, and indulgence."

"Now only these few words remain, which truly makes the teacher ashamed—I am here by the teacher's order to take back his remaining divine power."

"Ah?"

Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing were stunned.
