Chapter 160: Return

On this day, an earth‑shattering piece of news instantly spread across the entire Universe, causing a massive shock among the billions of races in the Universe.

In the Fourth Domain Battlefield, the Human Reincarnation King unleashed a powerful Secret Technique, wiping out nearly 8,000 powerful Seal King Immortals from the three great peak camps of the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race! Among them were close to two thousand Seal King Extremes and two mighty Invincible Kings! Such explosive news instantly left countless strong beings among the billions of races in a stunned daze! "To annihilate nearly eight thousand Seal King‑level powerful Immortals in a single strike—how was that done? Could it be that the Reincarnation King has broken through to become a Universe Venerable?"

"You're overthinking it; Universe Venerables are absolutely forbidden from acting on the Outer Domain Battlefield, otherwise they would be directly slain by the Universe Master of the Four Top‑Tier Races, and I heard that he might not even be an Immortal—his true state is merely a Realm Lord!"

"Realm Lord! Sss~~~ Human Race, another defiant prodigy is about to rise."

Meanwhile, within the three major camps of the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race, countless high‑ranking officials let out angry roars:

"The Reincarnation King is immortal; do our three alliances still have any face? This is a disgrace, the disgrace of our three alliances!"

"Kill, kill the Reincarnation King, we must kill him!"

"How to kill him, who will kill? The Reincarnation King isn't stupid; he's probably already returned to Human Race Territory."

Among the three camps, powerful Universe Venerables argued endlessly, each feeling endless humiliation.

After today, other forces in the Universe will treat their three alliances as a laughingstock, while the Human Reincarnation King will trample the very fame of their three alliances across the Universe!

More importantly, many of the deceased Seal Kings were their close confidants and disciples!

Even a Universe Venerable must expend enormous effort to cultivate a Seal King peak, a Seal King Extreme‑level disciple.

The Reincarnation King's action is tantamount to cutting off one of their arms; how could it not cause them pain!

Of course, alongside the pain, the high‑ranking members of the three races now feel endless worry.

As the most direct participants, they clearly know that the Reincarnation King at this moment is indeed only a Realm Lord.

A single Realm Lord, with one strike, slew nearly 8,000 Seal King‑level powerful Immortals, including a large number of Seal King Extremes and two Invincible King champions! To say this aloud is like a tale from Arabian Nights! An Invincible King can even tangle with the most ordinary Universe Venerable.

To annihilate the 8,000 Seal King Immortals, including them, in a single strike, an ordinary Universe Venerable could not manage; it would require a mid‑tier or higher Universe Venerable to act! The Realm Lord level already displays combat power comparable to a near‑mid‑tier Universe Venerable, and just thinking of that chills them.

If the Reincarnation King is allowed to continue growing, the Human Race may gain another figure as powerful as the Chaos City Lord! That is absolutely intolerable to the three races!

"We must eliminate him; his current deeds are already defying the heavens. If we wait for him to break through to become an Immortal, to become a Universe Venerable, wouldn't we be easily slain as well!"

"Report to the leader."

Soon, the news about the Reincarnation King was directly reported to the Universe Master of the three races, and a formal negotiation concerning the Human Reincarnation King was solemnly initiated. Meanwhile, as the high officials of the three races continued to argue over his matter, Zhou Yang had already returned to Human Race Territory via the Divine Kingdom Teleportation of Mo Yun Teng.

The headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

Zhou Yang resumed his Realm Lord demeanor, boarded a spacecraft of the Virtual Universe Company, and, via the Cosmic Channel, headed to Chaos City in the Initial Universe.

"Your Highness."

"Zhou Yang, Your Highness."

The Seal King Immortals in charge of the spacecraft all appeared very respectful.

Zhou Yang merely smiled and nodded, then found a private cabin inside the ship to rest. "Captain, is it necessary to be so courteous to Zhou Yang? He's just a Realm Lord; with your Seal King‑high strength, a wave of your hand could slay a Realm Lord."

An Immortal God crew member said, and the other crew members nearby began to chatter: "Exactly, Zhou Yang simply got lucky, was taken as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord. If he weren't the personally transmitted disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he's just a Realm Lord—what's the big deal?"

"This time it's mainly for him; we have to escort him specifically to Chaos City. If it were an ordinary Realm Lord, we'd have to wait patiently until enough passengers accumulated before departing."

The crew members kept discussing.

However, the high‑ranked Seal King ship captain glared and shouted angrily: "All of you, shut up!"

"I warn you, if anyone dares to gossip behind my back about Zhou Yang, Your Highness, don't blame me for kicking you all out of the squad!"

These Ordinary Immortal God crew members have limited information channels and know little about Zhou Yang.

He, however, is different; he himself is a high‑rank Seal King Immortal God and serves as the squad leader for this escort mission in and out of the Initial Universe, regularly interacting with many strong beings, naturally gaining access to information ordinary people cannot.

He had vaguely heard that this Zhou Yang, Your Highness, might be the same person as a certain super‑strong individual who recently caused a massive shock in the Outer Domain Battlefield. "Remember your own status, and show the proper respect to the strong!"

He reminded them solemnly again.

"Yes, Captain!"

"We understand."

Each crew member, seeing their captain lose his temper, promptly responded.

Yet deep in their eyes, a trace of resentment still lingered.

The captain shook his head inwardly, understanding their thoughts.

Zhou Yang, Your Highness, has been a disciple of the Chaos City Lord for over six thousand years, yet throughout those six millennia he has remained extremely low‑key.

He never ventured onto Tongtian Bridge, nor challenged Tongtian Mountain; no news of him emerged from the Outer Domain Battlefield or any Universe Secret Realms.

It seemed he had no discernible achievements.

This inevitably makes many ordinary people feel uneasy, thinking that if they received the same treatment, they would certainly outdo Zhou Yang! Yet they do not know that the reason Zhou Yang's news is rarely spread is not because he lacks notable deeds, but because his deeds are so sensational that the higher‑ups of the races have ordered a ban on any dissemination about him. "A reliable information channel is truly precious; if I were unaware of these reports, I might also feel displeased with Zhou Yang's conduct, and inadvertently offend him."

The spacecraft passed through the teleportation channel and soon arrived above Chaos City.

"Take care, Your Highness."

The captain led all the crew in respectfully escorting Zhou Yang out of the ship.

"Thank you all."

Zhou Yang smiled in reply, then the whole of him directly flew toward the ancient city below.
