Chapter 312: Xuzhen Demon God

In the vast universe, within a stretch of starry sky.

Three streams of thought pierced the endless void, descending onto this starry sky, faintly revealing three towering figures.

The three figures were, respectively, the graceful Insect Tribe Queen, Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha, and the Mechanical Lord, who resembled a massive oval black sphere.

"Mengcha, what about the shock horns?" the Mechanical Lord asked.

"We Demon Race, I can handle it," Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha said, her voice instantly reaching both sides. At this moment, the Primordial Universe's Cosmic Operation Law seemed ineffective, "Mechanical, you summoned our Demon Race and the Insect Race; both I and the Insect Tribe Queen have arrived, it's time to discuss matters."

"Mechanical, speak," the Insect Tribe Queen said.

"Fine," the Mechanical Lord said, "Now, under the protection of the Great Axe, a rebellious genius Xiao Yu of the Human Race has emerged. His strength has risen rapidly; in less than thirty thousand years he already rivals the Lord of the Universe. If he continues to grow, the Human Race will gain another powerful being. He must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"We must eliminate him early!" the Insect Tribe Queen said, "But how can we eliminate him? According to Xiao Yu's past records, he can alter Life Breath, even Soul Breath. Finding him, locating him is already difficult—how can we even speak of elimination?"

"I agree with the Queen; our Demon Race also wishes to eliminate him early, but how?" Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha added.

"Doesn't he have a dependent clone constantly on Zijing Island?" the Mechanical Lord said, "Perhaps his true form possesses the ability to alter Life Breath; surely his clone doesn't share that! Our three great races are unwilling to oppose the Ancestor God Sect, but couldn't we just enlist the Lone Wanderer, the Strongest of the Universe?"

The Mechanical Lord had already analyzed Xiao Yu's previous battle with the Lord of Purple Heaven, and at the same time observers noted that Xiao Yu still made regular trips to Zijing Island, leading him to conclude that Xiao Yu possesses a clone.

"The Lone Wanderer among the Strongest of the Universe?" the Insect Tribe Queen hesitated slightly, "The price must be high. Even if the price is modest, what is the success rate? Xiao Yu previously fought the Lord of Purple Heaven for a long time until the Chaos City Lord arrived, yet he suffered no serious injury!"

"The success chance is truly low. If it were in the Cosmic Sea where the Strongest of the Universe's power is less constrained, there might be a chance! Within the Primordial Universe, even the strongest of the Strongest of the Universe can only exert Six-tier Strength; Xiao Yu's displayed power that day would certainly sustain until the Ancestor God Sect reacts," Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha said.

"Moreover, to enlist even a single Strongest of the Universe, each of our three races must sacrifice a Peak Treasure; even if the three races share the cost, each still needs at least three Top-level Treasures," the Insect Tribe Queen continued, "A thousand years ago in the war against the Lord of Purple Heaven, our own Cosmic Lord of the Insect Race suffered no loss, but within the alliance two Lords of the Universe fell, many were severely damaged; our race compensated them with a total value exceeding three Peak Treasures."

"We are all willing to eliminate Xiao Yu, but for a plan with an obviously low success rate, the cost and reward are mismatched," Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha added.

"You won't even part with three Top-level Treasures, yet speak of eliminating Xiao Yu?" the Mechanical Lord said, "Previously we were all outmaneuvered by the Lord of Purple Heaven; everyone's losses were similar. If you are unwilling, even if all costs are borne by my Mechanical Race alone, I will still carry out the plan."

"If three Top-level Treasures can truly eliminate the Human Xiao Yu, I am willing to provide them," the Insect Tribe Queen said, "But with a success rate less than one in ten thousand, I will not partake. We will wait for him to leave Zijing Island, or discover his true form elsewhere before acting."

"I will not participate either," Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha said.

……

On a living planet within the Human Race's territory.

A stream of thought pierced endless spacetime, suddenly descending onto this planet, arriving in a capital city, where the Mechanical Lord stood.

"Stone, you are called a Demon God! Even the Lord of the Universe fears you, and you still have the interest to frolic on this ordinary living planet?" the Mechanical Lord asked.

"If you wish to kill, I will kill. If you wish to save, I will save. If you wish to play, I will play. If you wish to view scenery, I will view scenery," the Hunchbacked Elder turned to the Mechanical Lord, "Mechanical, this is Human Race territory; what is the purpose of your thought's descent?"

"I ask you to kill one person," the Mechanical Lord said.

"Is his strength great?" the Hunchbacked Elder asked.

"Human Xiao Yu," the Mechanical Lord said.

"Xiao Yu? I know that youngster; after returning from the Cosmic Sea, rumors about him spread fiercely. No wonder you ask me. Where is he?" the Hunchbacked Elder asked.

"Zijing Island," the Mechanical Lord replied.

"Ancestor God Sect!" the Hunchbacked Elder's eyes flashed, black light shimmering, "Mechanical, I don't care about the Great Axe; I can help you kill that youngster. But he is in the core of the Ancestor God Sect; you let me breach the core of the Ancestor God Sect and kill their heir."

"I helped you once back then; this time, consider it repaid," the Mechanical Lord said.

The Hunchbacked Elder rasped, "Fine, I owed you then; this time I agree, send me his information."

"Comparable to the Lord of the Universe, his Divine Body rivals special lifeforms, seemingly possessing the Clone talent; merely eradicating a single Divine Body is useless, we must infiltrate the soul, causing all Divine Bodies to perish, or perhaps soul control," the Mechanical Lord said, "In the Primordial Universe, among all the Strongest Beings, only you possess Illusion Flow, and only you can achieve this."

"Fine, I'm departing now," the Hunchbacked Elder said.

……

Zijing Island.

Within the mansion, Xiao Yu's Divine Avatar sat cross‑legged, cultivating.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu looked up, vaguely sensing something amiss.

Above, beneath the Five-colored Aurora Lake, a figure encircled by endless black currents suddenly emerged; the currents obscured it, only a pair of eyes faintly visible.

When Xiao Yu saw those eyes, he sensed danger.

Those are only perceivable when confronting the Giant Axe Founder.

It turned out to be a Strongest of the Universe descending.

Whoa!

Invisible attack descends!

The Five-colored Aurora Lake truly went berserk, massive fissures spontaneously appearing.

A strand of invisible attack spread to Xiao Yu's side, Xiao Yu's Divine Avatar instantly seized by mental force.

Far within the Giant Axe Microcosm, Xiao Yu's Human True Body instantly detected the anomaly and swiftly made a decision; the Divine Avatar's hundredfold Soul Sensitivity was instantly siphoned away.

On Zijing Island.

Xiao Yu's Divine Avatar suddenly froze, like an empty shell, standing motionless in the mansion.

As if its sensitivity had been instantly annihilated!

"What? It's an empty shell?" the Hunchbacked Xuzhen Demon God stared wide‑eyed.

"Xuzhen Demon God, this is my Ancestor God Sect! How dare you attack our heir again!"

An Ancestor God with a front and back face each bearing a visage appeared in the Five-colored Aurora Lake.

"Ha ha, so it's the double‑faced Ancestor God, what a bold claim. You dare be so arrogant before me, hm, some others fear your Ancestor God Sect, but I, Xuzhen, have never cared. I go wherever I wish; who can stop me. However, I won't fight you today; I'll withdraw first."

The side of spacetime controlled by the Xuzhen Demon God withdrew swiftly.
