“One move to kill a nine-star Earthly Venerable in seconds.” Venerable Earth Splitting Spear frowned slightly.
Although he and the other two ten-star Earthly Venerables could achieve this, Ye Tian effortlessly killed Guan Ling. Guan Ling wasn’t just any nine-star Earthly Venerable; he was at least a top-tier nine-star Earthly Venerable.
This time, the attack on the Immortal Race was just a prelude, meant to test if the Eternal Universe had any hidden forces. If there were none, once the Immortal Race was taken down, the next targets would be the Demon Race and other major races of the universe.
The ten-star Earthly Venerables being monitored would find it difficult to come to the rescue, and Ye Tian was not among their known powerful individuals.
It wasn’t their fault that their information was inaccurate. Ye Tian had kept a low profile; only powerhouses like the Master of the Primordial Era knew his true strength, while ordinary Earthly Venerables were unaware.
“A hidden powerhouse, huh!” Venerable Earth Splitting Spear thought to himself.
He didn’t believe Ye Tian was at the Divine General level. Given the cultivation conditions of the Eternal Universe, becoming a Divine General was extremely difficult. How could one appear so easily? In his view, Ye Tian was at most a top-tier ten-star Earthly Venerable.
Three against one, they had a good chance!
Swish! Swish! Swish! The three ten-star Earthly Venerables stood in three positions, their auras locking onto Ye Tian. One by one, the strongest supreme treasures appeared, suppressing the area.
“Do you truly wish to oppose me?” Ye Tian said coldly. “Leave immediately, and I might spare your lives!”
He actually had no real conflict with these people. Even though they came from different universes, it didn’t matter much. If the two universes eventually merged, they would naturally be beings of one Grand Universe.
Therefore, if the people of the Cangyu Universe didn’t oppose him, he wouldn’t pursue them relentlessly.
Of course, the real reason was that he didn’t want to make too many enemies. If he killed these Earthly Venerables and provoked a Divine General, leading to the death of that Divine General, it would mean full-scale war with the Cangyu Universe.
“Arrogant!” Venerable Earth Splitting Spear snorted coldly.
“Earth-Splitting Spear!” Venerable Earth Splitting Spear thrust his spear, countless spear shadows enveloping the void. Each spear shadow contained the power of the Grand Dao, enough to kill any nine-star Earthly Venerable.
This strike’s power was even sufficient to slay weaker ten-star Earthly Venerables! Venerable Silver Moon Saber and another ten-star Earthly Venerable—Venerable Shadow Demon—also attacked, each launching a killing blow.
They didn’t want to test anything. At this level, probing was tantamount to courting death. If the opponent was very strong and they failed to discern his killing move, they could easily be killed in one strike.
Under the full-force ultimate moves of the three ten-star Earthly Venerables, even a ten-star Earthly Venerable would be injured. They didn’t believe Ye Tian could withstand it.
“Sigh!” A sigh echoed through the void.
“Why must you seek death?” Ye Tian murmured.
With a wave of his hand, the void solidified, and he gently slashed with a blade formed from laws.
Rip! In an instant, the space where the three ten-star Earthly Venerables stood shattered, and blade energy pierced through their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, Venerable Silver Moon Saber and Earth-Splitting Spear Venerable’s bodies shattered, and the supreme treasures in their hands cracked.
The two ten-star Earthly Venerables vanished completely with incredulous thoughts.
“Huh, you’re still alive!” Ye Tian curiously observed Venerable Shadow Demon, noting that despite being severely injured, he hadn’t died.
“So, you cultivated a rather powerful life-saving divine ability, along with several protective treasures. That’s why you survived my blade qi. Otherwise, even a peak ten-star Earthly Venerable couldn’t withstand that blade qi!” Ye Tian remarked.
Venerable Shadow Demon felt no relief at having survived. Instead, he was filled with fear. He never imagined that the Eternal Universe had another Divine General, and seemingly not an ordinary one. The casual strike that killed Venerable Earth Splitting Spear, who was almost at the peak of ten-star Earthly Venerables, could hardly be the work of a weak Divine General.
“This Divine General, please spare me! I am a ten-star Earthly Venerable of the Xulong Holy Land. Our Holy Land’s leader is also a Divine General, a mid-one-star Divine General. For the sake of our Holy Master, Divine General Xulong, please spare my life. I am willing to persuade Divine General Xulong to befriend the Eternal Universe!” Venerable Shadow Demon pleaded urgently.
“Too late!” Ye Tian said indifferently. “If you had said this before I took action, you might have lived. But now, I have already killed two of your ten-star Earthly Venerables. How can we still be friends? Die!”
Ye Tian struck again, this time with a blade more than twice as powerful as before.
“No!” Venerable Shadow Demon desperately tried to escape, even burning his entire strength, flesh, and soul to activate his life-saving divine ability. Yet, Ye Tian’s blade pierced through his body, turning his soul and flesh into nothingness.
“Run!” The other Earthly Venerables and Human Venerables of the Xulong Holy Land were terrified, fleeing in all directions.
“Primordial Domain!” Ye Tian deployed this technique, enveloping the entire area.
Under the suppression of the Primordial Domain, those Earthly Venerables couldn’t escape, and the domain’s power crushed them into blood mist, annihilating them completely.
After all the Xulong Holy Land’s powerhouses were dead, the First Divine Lord emerged from the Divine Realm, quickly expressing his gratitude.
“Thank you, Supreme of Ten Thousand Laws, for your assistance!”
“I promised to help the Immortal Race once, and now I’ve done so. Our agreement is settled,” Ye Tian stated.
“Supreme of Ten Thousand Laws, if you leave, the powerhouses of the Xulong Holy Land will return. At that time, our Immortal Race will still be in danger. My agreement with you was to ask for your help to resolve the crisis facing the Immortal Race. The crisis still remains,” the First Divine Lord said.
He knew that saying this would offend Ye Tian, but he had no choice. If Ye Tian left, they would have to face the wrath of the Xulong Holy Land, and the Immortal Race would surely be destroyed.
“Hmph, First Divine Lord, according to your logic, do you expect me to stay with the Immortal Race forever to protect you? Otherwise, if you keep claiming the Immortal Race is in crisis, should I continuously help you?” Ye Tian questioned.
The First Divine Lord replied, “Supreme of Ten Thousand Laws, you only need to guard the Immortal Race for a hundred years. That would resolve the crisis. How about it?”
“A hundred years, huh!” Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Alright, I’ll stay with the Immortal Race for a hundred years. But if the Human Race faces a crisis, I will leave immediately!”
“Agreed!” The First Divine Lord responded, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
