Facing the shadow of death, the remaining nearly one hundred alien-race Champion-level Immortals finally abandoned all hesitation and joined forces, resisting Bai Yue with desperate resolve.
They wanted to live.
Yet resistance, at this point, was nothing more than wishful thinking.
The Hun Yuan Staff tore through layer after layer of defense. Domains shattered, secret techniques collapsed, and divine bodies were crushed one after another. Some Champions were blasted apart outright, while others—eyes filled with unwillingness and despair—chose to self-detonate, turning themselves into brief flashes of destructive brilliance.
Escape was not an option.
Every passageway had been sealed by Human Race powerhouses. In the open battlefield, Champions could flee freely, but within these narrow tunnels, blocking movement was far easier than killing outright. Every attempt to break through was forced back.
The slaughter continued until silence returned.
When the final alien Champion fell, the cave was filled only with residual energy fluctuations and drifting debris.
The Human Race Champion-level Immortals quickly gathered, their gazes toward Bai Yue now carrying unmistakable respect.
Strength reshaped everything.
"Congratulations, Battle King! Another great harvest!"
"Haha, after today, the name Battle King will truly echo throughout the Universe!"
That was no exaggeration.
The fall of nearly one hundred Champion-level Immortals in a single battle was a seismic event anywhere. Many of those Champions had already transmitted information at the moment of death. Each belonged to a race, had a teacher, a lineage, a network behind them.
The spread of news was inevitable—and explosive.
Of course, this also meant trouble.
Those races, teachers, and families would not simply swallow this loss. Retaliation was only a matter of time.
Fortunately, Bai Yue had never revealed his true identity.
If his origins had been exposed, he could not guarantee that his enemies would not turn their blades toward Earth when direct revenge proved impossible.
In this matter, Battle King had acted.
What did that have to do with Bai Yue?
"This outcome was also thanks to everyone blocking the exits," Bai Yue said calmly. "In that case, you may collect the remaining spoils."
During the battle, he had already taken the truly valuable items. The leftovers no longer interested him.
The Human Race and Great Alliance Champions were delighted.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony. Battle King is truly generous!"
They immediately scattered, sweeping up the battlefield.
Bai Yue, meanwhile, examined his own gains.
First was the skull-shaped treasure that had triggered everything.
It had no recorded name, but its nature was unmistakable—a top-tier soul-oriented treasure. It could guard the soul, disguise one's soul aura, and amplify soul attacks. Such items were extraordinarily rare.
Next came the weapons and equipment left behind by the fallen Champions.
Among the nearly one hundred Champions, five had possessed treasures. After confirming them one by one, Bai Yue found that they were all ordinary attack-type treasures. Without hesitation, he tossed them into his Original Universe, where they would eventually be analyzed and absorbed as resources.
Seeing the others still busy collecting, Bai Yue lost interest. After a brief notification, he recalled his Undying servants into his Life Ring and departed through the passage.
After his departure, the remaining Champions began discussing openly.
"It seems the Human Race is about to witness the rise of another true powerhouse."
"Indeed. Battle King never revealed his real name, but it's not hard to guess—he must come from the core of the Five Great Powers, perhaps even a direct disciple of a Universe Lord."
"Enough speculation. We all have Battle King's contact information. When the time comes, we'll know."
Lavos Secret Realm — Ronghuo Clan
Within the Monster Race's territory lay the Lavos Secret Realm, home to the Ronghuo Clan, an affiliated race of the Alliance of Demon Race.
At the heart of the realm stood a continent nearly two light-years across. Its tallest mountain housed the clan's most sacred temples, with the grandest temple at the peak—the political and spiritual core of the Ronghuo Clan.
At this moment, almost all of the clan's Universe Exalts, along with a large number of Champion-level Immortals, were gathered inside the main hall.
"Fermo has fallen in the Ninth Battlefield," an elder announced coldly.
The hall erupted.
For the Ronghuo Clan, Champion-level Immortals were pillars of the race. The loss of even one was intolerable.
"Silence!" the elder shouted.
"Elder Norchi—who killed him?" a Champion stood up, hatred burning in his eyes.
"The Human Race's Battle King," Norchi replied. "He rose rapidly in recent years and has concealed his identity. We lack precise information."
"Battle King…" the Champion repeated softly, killing intent surging.
Norchi immediately continued, his tone stern. "Chelter—and all of you—are forbidden from seeking revenge. Battle King is already invincible among Champions. Unless a Universe Exalt intervenes, killing him is unrealistic. Any rash action will only increase casualties."
The hall fell silent.
Anger filled every heart, yet no one could refute the truth.
Finally, someone spoke. "Are we simply going to let this go?"
"He is Human," Norchi replied. "Universe Exalts cannot enter the Outside Territory Battlefield. Any attempt will only bring disaster upon our clan."
Another elder then spoke, eyes glinting. "Information suggests that Battle King possesses three treasures—one offensive, one defensive, and one soul-based. Spread this news. Let others act for us."
"Understood."
Fermentation Spreads
Similar discussions unfolded within the Insect Race, the Metal Life Katuo Clan, and other major factions.
Soon, rumors exploded across the Primordial Universe:
Battle King possesses three treasures.
The story grew more exaggerated with every retelling.
Even within the Great Alliance, whispers circulated.
In the Virtual Universe, Bai Yue sat opposite Gan Wu Country Lord.
"Three treasures?" Gan Wu Country Lord laughed helplessly. "Even your teacher didn't have that many at his peak. Be careful—this kind of rumor makes even me feel tempted."
"Teacher," Bai Yue replied calmly, "they're being conservative."
Gan Wu Country Lord went silent.
Treasure armor from Primordial Chaos City Lord.
The Hun Yuan Staff.
Yi Jian Manor.
Three treasures… at least.
Primordial Chaos City
Within the endless Chaos Ruins, Primordial Chaos City Lord listened to the reports.
A faint smile appeared, vanishing as quickly as it came.
"This disciple of mine truly carries great fortune," he murmured. "That staff… is also a treasure."
"Junior Brother's progress is astonishing," Gui Yi Venerable said respectfully. "He has already gained acknowledgment of the Space Origin Law."
"Yes," the City Lord nodded. "Faster than I expected."
Yet one question lingered.
Bai Yue's training mission had ended long ago—yet he still remained on the Ninth Battlefield.
And the Divine Territory…
Even the Origin Ancestor had warned against it.
Primordial Chaos City Lord gazed into the Chaos, eyes deep and unreadable.
Whatever Bai Yue was searching for—
—it was no ordinary thing.
