Chapter 64 World of the Realm Lord

"World Lord's World, I never expected that a space pirate would have such an opportunity!"

Looking at Huang Mo, who was completely immersed in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, Lu Yunhe felt a little emotional. No wonder so many people, knowing that the universe is dangerous, still enjoy taking risks.

Aside from the fantastical and mysterious universe and the near-infinite wealth, there is the search for a sliver of opportunity that might change one's destiny.

Huang Mo was originally just an ordinary stellar-level life form, but due to an adventure, he accidentally entered a world master's world, and his fate was changed from then on.

Even though Huang Mo didn't enter the core palace of the World Lord's World at that time, and only took some resources from the World Lord's World, he still managed to cultivate to the Universe level, and even comprehended the Domain by chance.

If he hadn't encountered Lu Yunhe, with his Domain level, he probably wouldn't have died even if he had been captured. After all, having a future Domain Lord level expert as a subordinate is quite desirable.

pity……

Lu Yunhe clenched his right hand, and the Yellow Demon, bound by the power of Wood Release, instantly lost its life force. Often, seizing opportunities from others is part of the fun of venturing into the universe.

From the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, Lu Yunhe had already learned the crucial location of the World Lord's World. As for other information, Huang Mo didn't know either. He discovered the World Lord's World at the Stellar level, and only discovered the World Lord's Palace after cultivating to the Universe level using some resources within it.

Then he discovered that his cosmic-level self was far from being able to break through the palace's defensive limitations, so he ventured out into the universe, striving to reach the domain lord level and obtain that realm lord's legacy.

Besides that, Huang Mo also didn't know any specific information about the World Lord's World.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!

Having learned of the invaluable information about the World Lord's World, the original mission of the cosmic mercenary assessment naturally became insignificant. To avoid any unforeseen complications, Lu Yunhe chose to humanely annihilate Huang Mo directly. Once a person discovers certain secrets, everything seems like a threat.

Unfortunately, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is one of the five major forces of the human race. If he leaves now, it will most likely cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, Lu Yunhe can only obediently get through the assessment mission.

Lu Yunhe immediately parked the spaceship on a nearby meteorite, let the Thirteen Thieves Black Eyes, who were under the control of the illusion, come out, and then activated the recording function of the virtual universe to record the process of killing the target and complete the space mercenary assessment mission.

Outside the asteroid belt, the spaceships of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance remained quietly in place, awaiting the return of the examinees or their complete annihilation.

"Someone has already completed the assessment task so quickly!"

Inside the spaceship, the examiner was astonished to learn that someone had returned, and his eyes widened even more when he saw the corpses of Black Eyes and Yellow Demon.

"Only the video of the black-eyed killer is available!"

After some verification, the examiner was puzzled to find that Lu Yunhe only provided videos of Black Eye's kills, not Yellow Demon's.

"In order to kill the leader of the Thirteen Thieves, I used some special methods, so I didn't activate the virtual universe recording," Lu Yunhe said casually.

"It won't affect anything!"

The examiner said that the task of the test is to kill one target to pass, so killing more or even all of them will not have any impact.

Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of the domain lord-level examiner, Lu Yunhe honestly took out all the wealth he had plundered and handed it over to the staff member next to him for verification.

Seeing Lu Yunhe's cooperation, the examiner couldn't help but ask, "Since you were able to kill two targets in such a short time, including their leader, why didn't you continue searching for other targets?"

“My deceased friend warned me not to let greed cloud my judgment. In order to kill the leader, I used my trump card. I was worried about being targeted by the other examinees, so I simply came back early,” Lu Yunhe explained briefly.

"That's right!" The examiner nodded approvingly. Many people know this principle, but few can truly restrain their direct greed.

If the other examinees find out that Lu Yunhe has obtained so many resources, some of them who have passed the test will definitely want to join forces with others to attack Lu Yunhe and steal the resources that have been taken from him.

In this scenario, even if Lu Yunhe manages to save his life, he'll likely only receive the bounty on the target. Compared to the final share of resources, this bounty is practically worthless.

"He's probably a disciple from some powerful family or force who's out here for training!" The examiner thought to himself as he looked at Lu Yunhe's cultivation level of the third stage of the Universe Realm.

After submitting the mission objectives and the acquired resources, Lu Yunhe waited in the spaceship for the assessment mission to conclude. A day later, the assessment mission for one-star cosmic mercenaries ended. Of the 100 cosmic-level personnel, only twelve passed, and 30 died.

A 30% mortality rate isn't high, but if Lu Yunhe hadn't killed Huang Mo, one of the Thirteen Bandits, the mortality rate would probably have doubled.

After the mission was completed, Lu Yunhe received a total of more than 200 billion Qianwu coins, successfully upgrading his Galaxy account to one star.

After purchasing some cultivation supplies and exchanging them for a D-class spaceship, spending a total of 100 billion Qianwu coins, Lu Yunhe began his journey to the coordinates of the World Lord world he had obtained from Huang Mo.

"arrive!"

After a period of flight, Lu Yunhe had left the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's sphere of influence and arrived at this nameless planet. The entire planet was barren and clearly not a habitable place.

"Dracion!"

Lu Yunhe had Delacion scan the entire planet. Even if there were corresponding images, it was unrealistic to search for them bit by bit by manpower. We would need an intelligent optical brain to detect them.

“Three similar locations were found, with matching degrees of…!” Delacion reported the results.

Having obtained the location, Lu Yunhe flew directly to the planet. Upon landing at the second similar location, he instantly sensed the invisible light curtain.

"right here!"

Lu Yunhe was somewhat excited. He stepped directly across the spatial light barrier, and then his figure disappeared on the planet.

World Lord!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yunhe seemed to have traveled to another world and arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

What a vast world!

Lu Yunhe remained suspended in the sky, his body completely unmoved by the thousands of times stronger gravity. It was his first time in the World Lord's World, and he was still attracted by the environment here.

"The primordial universe was so generous!"

Shocked by the World Lord's World, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but marvel at the generosity of the Primordial Universe. From the World Lord level onwards, the Primordial Universe provided cultivators with a one-stop service, helping them to create worlds, strengthen their divine bodies, and even directly dividing their bodies and giving them to cultivators when they broke through to True God, just like a loving father.

However, it won't be long before Lu Yunhe will be able to enjoy the one-stop service of the Primal Universe. Just thinking about this makes him a little impatient.

"Ultra Vision!"

Under the scanning of Ultra Vision, Lu Yunhe quickly discovered the only man-made object in the World Lord's World and flew directly towards the target without hesitation.

Chapter 65 World Core

"finally reached!"

Looking at the magnificent palace radiating light in the distance, Lu Yunhe stopped far away. After all, it involved a realm lord, so he still needed to remain vigilant.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"

Lu Yunhe quickly landed on the ground, clasped his hands together, and immediately large swathes of trees sprouted from the ground. Then, wooden humanoid clones emerged from the trees and rushed swiftly towards the location of the palace.

Rumble!

Seemingly detecting the intruders entering its attack range, the previously still palace sprang to life, unleashing countless laser beams and massive energy cannons that blasted directly at the wooden clones from within. In a mere instant, all the wooden clones created earlier were completely annihilated.

"No cosmic-level being could withstand this attack!"

Watching the palace's attack, Lu Yunhe seemed thoughtful, but he needed to confirm it further. The next moment, countless wooden clones sprouted from the forest again and rushed towards the palace.

The reason Lu Yunhe wasn't very interested in the Zerg Queen's Nest was because the Divine Tree clone could also achieve a massive number of people. The Zerg Queen's Nest's two greatest advantages were its enormous number of Zerg swarms and its ability to gather the power of Zerg warriors, unleashing power far exceeding that of the Queen.

However, the former can be accomplished by the Divine Tree clone, and the latter can be handled by other main battle monster clones, so there's not much need to raise another Zerg Queen, especially since it's very expensive. If one cannot break through to the Immortal level or even the Cosmic Venerable level, it's equally meaningless.

Rumble!

Waves of energy laser rain poured down on the location of the wooden clones, but with Lu Yunhe's support, the number of wooden clones continued to appear without any sign of decreasing.

"What a mechanical attack!"

After observing for a period of time, Lu Yunhe discovered that the palace's defense mechanism seemed very rigid, not at all like something operated by intelligent life, but rather similar to the laser channels in a spaceship.

"This distance!"

Lu Yunhe's entire body flashed with light, transforming into Ultraman's true form. His body, over sixty meters tall, stood on the ground like a giant. Then, a red light mixed with golden light flashed by, transforming him into a power type + dazzling type.

"Photon Blaze!"

Lu Yunhe crossed his arms, his entire body shimmering with light, and a dazzling beam of photon energy blasted directly towards the distant palace. The Ultraman clone, at full power, unleashed an energy beam powerful enough to easily destroy an asteroid.

Seemingly detecting excessive energy fluctuations, the artificial intelligence within the palace also unleashed its D-level energy cannons, unleashing an energy attack powerful enough to kill a domain lord-level expert. The next second, the two energy cannons collided.

Photon Blazing Ray vs. Domain Lord-level Energy Cannon!

On one side was a pinnacle race from another universe, and on the other side was a technological masterpiece from a fantasy world, with energy bursts reaching the level of a domain lord filling the entire battlefield.

"As expected of a domain lord-level energy cannon!"

Ultraman's clone's basic strength was indeed a bit lacking, and it was clearly at a disadvantage in the clash with the D-class energy cannon. However, at this moment, the advantage of its massive size became apparent, along with the even larger Divine Tree clone within it.

Lu Yunhe said he could maintain such a high-intensity resistance for a whole day.

However, Lu Yunhe wouldn't be so foolish as to directly confront the energy cannon. His divine tree clone was already prepared and created another batch of even better wood clones that rushed towards the palace.

Seeing this, the artificial intelligence inside the palace maintained the energy cannon while continuing to control other attacks to deal with the wooden clone.

However, among the numerous wooden clones, one stood out. Using a large number of wooden clones as cover, it evaded the palace's attacks while rapidly approaching the palace gates.

Indeed, among this batch of wood clones, the Divine Tree clone concentrated most of its consciousness into one of the wood clones, and then, relying on its super strong foundation of consciousness and perception, easily dodged the palace's attacks.

Under the control of the divine tree clone, the wood clone quickly reached the palace gates. Looking at the ancient building that had stood for who knows how long, the wood clone didn't hesitate and pushed open the ancient doors.

hum!

The moment the palace gates were pushed open, the energy cannons clashing with Lu Yunhe's and the attacks that were slaughtering the wooden clones instantly stopped, and the whole world fell silent.

"it's over!"

Upon noticing the energy cannon stop, Lu Yunhe immediately ceased his attack to avoid directly hitting the palace and causing any further accidents.

"I wonder if there are any other traps!"

Looking at the palace with its doors wide open, Lu Yunhe pondered to himself. If there were any more traps, he would have his golden dragon clone arrive in a time-space bubble, and then use the time-space realm to devour the palace.

Once you enter the Time-Space Realm, no matter what kind of backup plan a Realm Lord has, it's all useless. A single move to freeze time leaves those below the Immortal Realm with virtually no ability to resist.

As Lu Yunhe pondered, he controlled his wooden clone to enter the palace. The Divine Tree clone also had a talent not listed in its innate abilities: it could create nested clones, resulting in wooden clones.

If you encounter some unknown dangers, you can send the wood clones to explore first. Only if they cannot withstand the attack should you send the monster clones in.

Upon entering the palace, the wooden clone first saw a smart control panel. Apart from that, the entire palace hall was empty and contained nothing special.

"Do I need to connect my own auxiliary optical computer?"

Seeing this scene outside the palace, Lu Yunhe frowned slightly, then immediately deactivated his Jinchūriki mode, leaving the Divine Tree clone outside. At the same time, his tall body began to shrink, until it was only two meters tall, before he instantly rushed into the palace.

It seemed that because the gate had been opened, the entire palace had stopped functioning and showed no intention of attacking Lu Yunhe.

"Dracion!"

Lu Yunhe entered the palace and retrieved a smart chip containing the Delacion sub-body. He was somewhat uneasy about simply letting Delacion infiltrate the palace's system; who knew if an artificial intelligence might reverse-engineer Delacion?
