Chapter 246: Pursuing a Hundred Years (Part 2)

Yu Lan World.

In a bustling street tavern, seven or eight alien Immortals sat together.

"It is said that now in the Star Tower, our race's numbers have fallen below ten thousand, and many Seal King Primary, Seal King High, even some Seal King Peak strong ones have left the Star Tower," a Mechanical Race member clad in golden battle armor said in a low voice.

"What?"

"How could it be so few?"

"Shouldn't it normally exceed a hundred thousand?"

Three or four Mechanical Seal Kings who had previously trained in other dangerous zones of the Seventh Battlefield looked puzzled.

"Since the Sealed Star was born, for these past thirty‑odd years, our Mechanical Race loses dozens of Seal King Peaks in the Star Tower each year! Some King Limit Extreme Strongers have even perished here," said an alien Seal King dressed in a black battle robe.

Immortal Lord King is already hard to kill, let alone Seal King Peaks and King Limit Extreme Strongers.

In thirty years, Xiao Yu hunted down over three thousand Mechanical Seal Kings.

"You didn't see the scene when the Sealed Star was born; Fatefall King, Xuan Mu King and the like all died directly at the hands of Ape Three Sword!" Mechanical Alien King Kou De King said, "After we left the Void Passage, we thought Ape Three Sword wouldn't go crazy again. Who could have guessed that even after thirty years, he still relentlessly hunts our kind."

Yang Qu King, though an Immortal Lord King of a Mechanical Race subsidiary tribe, has power close to 'Seal King Invincible.' The black‑robed alien Seal King did not expect even Yang Qu King to depart.

To slay a King Limit Extreme Stronger, even Seal King Invincible might not suffice; one needs Universe Sage Level strength to accomplish it.

In a Forbidden Space covered with ice and snow.

"With our talent, even after death the clan revives, but the revival cost still falls on us; risking everything for a single trial, even having to work tens of thousands of eras for the clan to repay debts," Yang Qu King continued, "Some gains are not worth the loss!"

"Kou De King, you are truly lucky!" said a five‑meter‑tall alien Seal King.

"I will temporarily stop going to the Star Tower."

"Yang Qu King, your strength is a strong presence even among the King Limit, nearly catching up to Fatefall King. Why must you also leave?" the black‑robed alien Seal King asked.

"Even Fatefall King, such a being, with over a thousand Seal Kings around him, were all smoothly slain by Ape Three Sword. When we encounter him, escape is hard. After all, who can guarantee luck like Kou De King's?" Yang Qu King sighed.

……

"Then we will also leave!"

In the first ten years, Xiao Yu could kill nearly two hundred Mechanical Immortals each year, but in the recent ten years, the number of Mechanical Immortal Lord Kings he encounters each year is less than fifty.

"I am also leaving!"

All these years, any Mechanical Immortal Xiao Yu met was basically slain by him; only a few exceptionally lucky ones escaped, totaling fewer than ten.

"You say that? If I hadn't fled quickly last time, or if the Forbidden Space passage hadn't appeared beside me, I would have been killed by that Ape Three Sword!" said an alien Seal King in teal battle armor.

During these thirty years, although he roamed the Star Tower, he still remembered that day and has prayed for thirty years not to encounter Ape Three Sword.

"No matter how hard to kill, I will definitely slay ten thousand," Xiao Yu thought silently.

The tall alien Seal King raised a cup of fruit wine, drank it in one gulp, and sighed, "Every year lately a dozen or so King Limit Extreme Strongers die. I also plan to temporarily leave the Star Tower."

Xiao Yu stood beside an alien Seal King's corpse, murmuring, "The 9,865th. Now it's truly getting harder to encounter Mechanical Immortals."

"Yang Qu King, since you are leaving, my strength is still inferior to yours, so I might as well also leave," said a Mechanical Race member in golden battle armor. Though now he participates in the Seventh Battlefield as a puppet, he still carries most of his wealth, making him much more cautious.

Then he floated in mid‑air within the Forbidden Space, quietly waiting for a passage to appear, heading to the next Forbidden Space.

……

In the fiftieth year, Xiao Yu had already slain 9,932 Mechanical Seal Kings.

……

In the sixtieth year, Xiao Yu's tally of slain Mechanical Seal Kings reached 9,966.

In these ten years, all the Mechanical Seal Kings he killed were King Limit Extreme Strongers; he never encountered a Seal King Peak.

……

In the seventieth year, Xiao Yu's count of slain Mechanical Seal Kings reached 9,986.

……

In the eightieth year, Xiao Yu's count of slain Mechanical Seal Kings reached 9,999.

……

In the ninety‑ninth year, Xiao Yu's count of slain Mechanical Seal Kings remained at 9,999.

In just twenty years, Xiao Yu traversed tens of thousands of Forbidden Spaces, yet did not encounter a single Mechanical Seal King.

Virtual World Thunder Island Chaos Hall.

Xiao Yu materialized outside the palace hall's gate, then strode in, walking through a deep, endless hall whose far end the naked eye could not discern, and stopped after a moment.

"Teacher," Xiao Yu said respectfully.

"The Outer Realm Battlefield has lost its honing meaning for you; when do you plan to return?" the Chaos City Lord asked casually, his voice causing the chaotic currents to churn.

As the head of the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Lord holds the highest Permission of the Virtual Universe System; nothing that occurs in the Seventh Battlefield can escape his notice.

The Chaos City Lord naturally knows that Xiao Yu, single‑handed, almost drove all the Mechanical Race out of the Star Tower.

"Teacher, after I slay one more Mechanical Seal King, I intend to leave the Outer Realm Battlefield," Xiao Yu said respectfully.

"Oh?" the Chaos City Lord replied, surprised, "You aim to reach ten thousand Mechanical Seal Kings."

"Yes," Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

"Ha ha, you kid hold grudges well; that ordinary Mechanical Common Venerable only attacked you once, and you want to hunt ten thousand of their kind! Not bad, truly not bad," the Chaos City Lord said, pleased, admiring Xiao Yu's vengeful resolve.

Moreover, the Chaos City Lord also knows that Xiao Yu handed a Sealed Star to the Seven Sword King, which fully shows Xiao Yu's friendliness toward the Human Race's internal people; he has already considered matters from the whole Human Race's perspective.

"Since they can break the rules to rush the Seventh Battlefield and attack me, I can naturally retaliate ten thousandfold within the rules. After I leave the Seventh Battlefield, I will ask you, Teacher, to announce my identity; I want these alien tribes to know the price of attacking me," Xiao Yu said, looking at the Chaos City Lord.

"Ha ha, of course; once you leave, I will publicly announce that San Yan Wang and Ape Three Sword are both you, Xiao Yu, alone," the Chaos City Lord laughed.

"Thank you, Teacher," Xiao Yu said respectfully.

"Then I will await your good news," the Chaos City Lord smiled.

……

Perhaps to make up for the unlucky twenty years before.

In the 100th year, Xiao Yu entered an endless desert Forbidden Space and actually encountered five hundred Mechanical Race Seal King Limit Extreme Strongers all at once.

Ape Three Sword!

Ape Three Sword has arrived.

Ape Three Sword, you have finally come; we five hundred King Limit have been arranging here for fifty years, finally waiting for you." The leading black-armored Mechanical Race person lowly shouted.

Activate, Plan No. 0125.

Above the desert, five hundred Pyramids hovered around Xiao Yu, completely surrounding him.
