Chapter 38

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu had been on the Dark Continent for a month, yet he had not encountered any other powerhouses; instead, he discovered a mountain peak with a darkshine stone vein of about thirty percent purity, which was more wealth than he would gain from killing a king—his luck was extremely good.

Although he hadn't run into any other powerhouses, Zhou Yu wasn't in a hurry; the density of powerhouses in the depths of the Dark Continent was not low, so as long as he stayed there, it would be impossible for him to never encounter one.

That day, Zhou Yu was as usual comprehending the spatial laws inside his starship when his auxiliary intelligence suddenly alerted him that he had received a distress message from the military system.

"A distress message?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up.

Due to the virtual universe, the human faction can roughly locate allied positions within a certain range on the extraterritorial battlefield; when a sudden crisis they cannot handle arises and they discover allies nearby, sending a distress call is quite normal.

What pleased Zhou Yu was that the powerhouses in the depths of the Dark Continent were mostly extraordinary; the fact that someone was calling for help indicated he had encountered an even stronger powerhouse.

What Zhou Yu is currently looking for is a powerhouse.

"Master, the powerhouse who sent the distress request wants to speak with you," the auxiliary intelligence then reported.

"Connect!"

Zhou Yu directly agreed.

The next moment—

Whoosh!

A flickering image appeared, and immediately a tall figure with wings on its back appeared before Zhou Yu.

"Yu Zhen Wang?" Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised; when he had gone to receive the "Grand Light God General" inheritance, he had coincidentally met them, and he hadn't expected to encounter them again in the depths of the Dark Continent.

However, Yu Zhen Wang had previously said she was adventuring in the Dark Continent; it seems that after receiving the inheritance, she came here again.

"Zhou Yu!" Seeing Zhou Yu, Yu Zhen Wang was also quite delighted, and she quickly said:

"I am currently being chased by the monster faction's Black Ruthless King, Nine Bird King, and Wind Domain King; please help me this once."

"These three are all at the king limit, right?" Zhou Yu felt somewhat surprised; it was rather rare for three to gang up on one Yu Zhen Wang.

"Indeed, they are all at the king limit." Yu Zhen Wang said: "I am willing to offer 5 billion primordial units as your reward."

The three king‑limit powerhouses are no joke; to hire someone to deal with such powerhouses, it's certainly impossible without paying a price.

However, Yu Zhen Wang spending this money is willing and happy; she knows Zhou Yu had already created a peak secret art, and after receiving the "Grand Light God General" inheritance, his strength is certainly not ordinary.

"Alright, open your location."

Zhou Yu readily agreed; making a bit of extra money on the side wasn't bad either.

Whoosh!

Zhou Yu made a teleport, arriving above a continuous mountain range.

"It's right there."

Zhou Yu looked ahead; at this point he could already sense the vast energy fluctuations erupting from there.

Space here is sealed, so he can only fly over.

Whoosh!

Zhou Yu directly burst forth with speed and charged in.

At the center of the battle, Yu Zhen Wang's face was grim as she continually launched illusion attacks from the rear, while her three king‑limit servants burned their divine bodies to oppose the three king‑limit powerhouses.

In fact, Yu Zhen Wang originally had five king‑limit servants, but two had been killed in earlier battles; the remaining three could hold out for now, but over time they would surely not be able to endure.

Of course, Yu Zhen Wang had not been idle; she had already sought help through the Grand Unity Alliance, and one of her friends had promised to come assist.

But that, after all, takes time!

At this moment, Yu Zhen Wang suddenly noticed allied forces appearing nearby, so he straightforwardly called for aid; upon realizing the ally was Zhou Yu, he decisively proposed hiring Zhou Yu for 5 billion primordial units.

These 5 billion primordial units roughly equal the value of the price she would have to pay to stall until her friend arrives.

Now that Zhou Yu is present, Yu Zhen Wang naturally leans more toward seeking aid from him.

This way she only needs to spend 5 billion primordial units, without incurring a favor from her friend.

"Here!" Yu Zhen Wang sensed Zhou Yu's arrival, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Someone's here."

At this moment, the three monster‑faction king‑limit powerhouses naturally also noticed Zhou Yu.

"Who is that?" The Nine Bird King and the other two monster‑faction kings did not immediately recognize Zhou Yu; at this point Zhou Yu indeed had little fame among the other races.

"It's the Hell Realm King; he also roughly possesses king‑limit strength."

The Black Ruthless King frowned tightly.

Zhou Yu had killed his fellow clansman, the Owl King, and now he's come to spoil his plans, which is indeed infuriating.

"I'll go meet this Hell Realm King; you all continue dealing with Yu Zhen Wang, forcing her to hand over the item." The Black Ruthless King said coldly:

"I don't believe that for an uncertain gain she would truly risk everything!"

"No problem."

The Nine Bird King and the Wind Domain King both agreed.

They indeed felt no pressure.

Yu Zhen Wang's strength lies in soul illusion, but they can each withstand her attacks now, so the threat is much reduced; as for her three servants? They're even more ordinary!

Even if they burn their divine bodies, they can barely match them in a fight.

On the contrary, the king‑limit Hell Realm King could be a tough nut; since the Black Ruthless King is willing to go, let him go.

Whoosh!

The Black Ruthless King moved his form and immediately left the battlefield, heading straight for Zhou Yu.

"Hell Realm King, I said let you come to the depths of the Dark Continent, not to ruin my plans!" As the Black Ruthless King approached Zhou Yu, his four arms suddenly swelled several sizes.

"Four Phenomena Divine Fist!"

The Black Ruthless King roared angrily, and terrifying divine power poured out from his four arms.

The Black Ruthless King's divine power amplitude also reached 1,500 times; at this moment four fist shadows blasted out, their might vast and indeed astonishing.

"Divine Shield!"

Zhou Yu felt calm in his heart; when his mind moved, a series of circular mind‑force artifacts instantly flew out around him, forming a shield.

This was precisely the Thousand Yuan Ring mind‑force weapon he had obtained earlier in the Kongguang Divine General inheritance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four terrifying fist shadows slammed into the shield formed by the Thousand Yuan Ring, and all were easily blocked.

"This Prison Realm King, his defense is also this strong?" Black Fierce King was startled.

Zhou Yu's move was obviously not his famous signature technique, yet it easily blocked his full‑power strike at 1500‑times amplitude.

This move was his strongest move.

"Space‑Time Array!"

At that moment Zhou Yu's mind shifted, and his other mind‑force weapon "Square Void Ten‑Thousand Disc" instantly released 2,000 blades.

These 2,000 blades sped toward Black Fierce King; Black Fierce King tried to dodge, but he was not a strong flyer, and his flight speed could not match Zhou Yu's mind‑force weapon.

In a blink, the Space‑Time Array formed around Black Fierce King, trapping him within.

However, Black Fierce King felt no panic; having witnessed Zhou Yu's Space‑Time Array before, he knew that if he focused, he could soon break this move.

"Black Fierce King, stay right here." Zhou Yu smiled, and the next moment he leapt directly over the Space‑Time Array, flying toward the distant battlefield.

"He went mad?" Black Fierce King was extremely shocked.

It should be noted that a controller can only wield a limited number of mind‑force weapons; the Prison Realm King now manipulating a massive number of mind‑force weapons to trap him indicates he is no longer at his peak state, so even if he rushed over, what use would it be?

"Could it be that this Prison Realm King's mind‑force amplitude is absurdly high? Trapping my mind‑force weapons, yet it's not his full power?"

Black Fierce King thought this, and he also immediately unleashed his full strength to bombard the Space‑Time Array that had trapped him.

But after several successive bombardments, Black Fierce King realized something was off; the stability of this Space‑Time Array seemed much stronger than before.

…

On the other side—

Swish!

Zhou Yu flashed to the battlefield vicinity, again wielding the Square Void Ten‑Thousand Disc, sending out 4,000 blades, each shooting toward Wind Realm King and Nine‑Beast King.

The Square Void Ten‑Thousand Disc contains a total of 10,000 blades; at this moment Zhou Yu had more than enough to use.

"This Prison Realm King trapped Black Fierce King with a single move, and still has so much surplus strength?" Wind Realm King and Nine‑Beast King were both astonished.

At this moment, Wind Realm King's own Space‑Time Array quickly formed, trapping him within.

But Nine‑Beast King is a gigantic avian lifeform; his movement is astonishing, and Zhou Yu's released mind‑force weapons could not catch up with him for a while.

"Hahaha, this move does nothing to me!"

Nine‑Beast King laughed loudly, and with extreme speed he slashed out from Zhou Yu's side, a pair of fierce eagle claws snapping toward Zhou Yu's head.

Zhou Yu's expression remained calm; he again activated the Thousand Yuan Ring to form a defensive light shield, blocking this move.

"Impressive, impressive, while you trap two Crowned Kings at their limits, you still have the strength to block my attack!" Nine‑Beast King said to Zhou Yu.

"Feather Array King could invite a helper like you thanks to her good luck; we concede."

"This Zhou Yu truly lives up to being a ten‑million‑era genius; it seems he gained a lot from the Kongguang Divine General inheritance." Feather Array King watched this scene, also feeling admiration.

The opponent had only just become immortal, yet he easily forced three Crowned Kings at their limits to concede.

"Concede? That probably isn't that simple."

Zhou Yu sneered coldly; the next moment, the speed of the thousands of blades from the Square Void Ten‑Thousand Disc he controlled suddenly surged.

That speed easily surpassed Nine‑Beast King's movement speed.

"What?"

Nine‑Beast King was shocked in his heart, but by the time he reacted, he was already trapped inside the formed Space‑Time Array.

Zhou Yu's goal from the start was to kill the three; to avoid alerting them, he initially did not use his full strength.

He only employed one hundred thousand times the peak Realm Lord power, which is the normal Crowned King peak strength.

Even so, that was already strong enough; after all, the Space‑Time Array is a peak secret technique, and combined with mind‑force weapons controlled at two‑thousand‑times amplitude, it can trap ordinary Crowned King limits.

But now he invoked the Blood Luo Force, boosting his power to one million times the peak Realm Lord power, which was naturally different.

Even if Nine‑Beast King's movement was strong, Zhou Yu, with even stronger power, controlled the mind‑force weapons; their speed instantly exceeded Nine‑Beast King's, easily trapping him.

"Prison Realm King, you concealed your power?" Nine‑Beast King finally reacted, both shocked and angry.

If the opponent had unleashed such power from the start against Black Fierce King, he and Wind Realm King might have fled long ago; now all are caught in his technique.

"Isn't this obvious?" Zhou Yu shook his head.

At this moment he directly commanded the three great Space‑Time Arrays to launch a killing move.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Each Space‑Time Array contained thirty‑six streams of light spiraling wildly, unleashing terrifying crushing force.

Thousand Spiral Kill! Thousand Spiral Kill! Thousand Spiral Kill!

"This power?"

The three Crowned Kings were stunned; they could not block this move; their divine bodies were instantly crushed to powder, and even part of their divine power vanished within.

"My divine body is lost?"

The three were extremely angry.

In fact it was normal.

The three great Space‑Time Arrays, all peak secret techniques plus one million times Realm Lord power plus two thousand times mind‑force amplitude, in terms of power already reached two thousand times the usual Crowned King peak, enough to wound a Crowned King peak divine body.

Although the three Crowned Kings, including Nine‑Beast King, are at the Crowned King limit, their divine bodies may not be stronger than a Crowned King peak; under Zhou Yu's unleashed move, they naturally get injured.

"Fight him!"

The three dared not hesitate any longer; they directly chose to burn their divine bodies.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both of them unleashed power a thousand times greater than before, and the terrifying force instantly twisted the spacetime array.

Zhou Yu saw this and also frowned slightly; if he were fighting one‑on‑one, his seven‑thousand‑fold mental‑force amplitude could be devoted entirely to stabilizing a spacetime array, in which case even a King‑Sealing Limit that burns its Divine Body could be trapped.

But now his power must be divided into three parts to deal with three opponents, so naturally he cannot fully withstand that force.

"If there were a priceless treasure, would it be so troublesome?"

Zhou Yu's gaze hardened, and he decisively burned 0.5% of his Divine Body; earlier he had consecutively consumed soul‑type treasures, so the burned Divine Body had already recovered.

Burning it again at this moment was no big deal.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under Zhou Yu's thousand‑fold surge of divine power, the three massive twisted spacetime arrays instantly stabilized; no matter how wildly the three attacked within them, they could not move the spacetime arrays in the slightest.

"Thousand Spiral Kill!"

Zhou Yu consecutively unleashed the Thousand Spiral Kill six times, and before the terrifying power supplied by his burning Divine Body was exhausted, the three King‑Sealing Limits were completely slain.

"My god, those three King‑Sealing Limits were killed outright."

"The strong one you summoned, Master, is terrifying as well."

"That must be the power of the King‑Sealing Invincible Tier, right?"

"."

The Feather Formation King's three King‑Sealing Servants watched the scene, their hearts shocked beyond measure, and they whispered among themselves.

King‑Sealing Invincible, each one a legend.

"You three, shut up!" Feather Formation King scolded, and upon hearing it, the three King‑Sealing Servants immediately obeyed and closed their mouths.

"Such a genius is indeed frightening." Feather Formation King looked toward Zhou Yu's direction at this moment, feeling rather envious.

She has been a King‑Sealing for ten million years; this time she received the Kongguang Divine General's inheritance, which still does not qualify as a King‑Sealing Limit, otherwise, as a Soul Master, she would not have been bullied like that.

And Zhou Yu, an immortal who has existed for only about two hundred years, has already reached the King‑Sealing Invincible Tier; that is indeed absurd.

Thinking this, Feather Formation King also flew over proactively.

"Zhou Yu, thanks for this time; I didn't expect your power to improve so much after receiving the inheritance. It seems my previous offer was low," Feather Formation King said.

"Your price was to escape the three pursuers; burning the Divine Body to kill them was my own decision," Zhou Yu smiled and said little more.

Hearing this, Feather Formation King nodded and said, "What is your bank account? 50 billion Hunyuan Units; I'll transfer the money to you later."

"It's &&T*6t," Zhou Yu gave his account number, and at the same time asked curiously:

"But why are these three demon‑race King‑Sealing Limits chasing you?"

"Of course, if it involves secrets, it's fine if you don't say," Zhou Yu added.

"I believe, with your strength, Zhou Yu, you wouldn't care about my little secret," Feather Formation King smiled faintly and waved her hand.

In an instant, a cosmos‑level lifeform, entirely black with three eyes, appeared here.

"Is this... a Dark Radiance Lifeform?" Zhou Yu asked, quite surprised.

"Yes, Dark Radiance Lifeforms are stone beings; they once developed a highly prosperous civilization on the Dark Continent, but later this place became a battlefield for the four great camps, and the Dark Radiance civilization faded away," Feather Formation King said.

"However, the reproduction of Dark Radiance Lifeforms is unique; they are born within Dark Radiance ore veins, and generally only ore veins with purity exceeding seventy‑five percent can possibly give rise to a Dark Radiance Lifeform. Thus, finding a Dark Radiance Lifeform on the Dark Continent essentially means discovering a vein of extremely high purity."

"No wonder," Zhou Yu nodded and said nothing more.

A Dark Radiance Lifeform could indeed represent a vast ore vein, so the three demon‑race King‑Sealing Limits' relentless pursuit is understandable.

Seeing Zhou Yu ask no further questions, Feather Formation King silently breathed a sigh of relief.

This Dark Radiance Lifeform had already been enslaved by her, and she learned much from its mouth; it was not an ordinary Dark Radiance Lifeform.

Had it not been so, she would not have chosen to clash to the end with those three King‑Sealing Limits.

After all, if luck is bad, the ore vein she found with the help of this Dark Radiance Lifeform might not even recoup the 50 billion Hunyuan Units she spent this time, let alone her five King‑Sealing Servants, two of which have already been destroyed, and the remaining three are also burning their Divine Bodies; restoring them quickly would be another huge expense.

"Zhou Yu's strength is too great; otherwise, my current power loss is severe, so cooperating with him once wouldn't be impossible," Feather Formation King shook her head inwardly.

Even if they were all human King‑Sealing, she still dared not trust Zhou Yu too much; if Zhou Yu were to strike covertly, she would have no means to resist.

Zhou Yu said little to Feather Formation King, and he left quickly.

Striking while the iron is hot, his power surged this time; it would be best to kill more strong opponents on the Outer Realm Battlefield and directly trigger the next simulation!
