Chapter 197 Assassination Attempt, Paying Homage to the Venerable One
Inside the D-class spaceship, the first Golden Horn clone, carrying the original core, waited quietly.
The first human clone went down to explode.
Not long after, the explosion was successful, and Ye Yang recorded the trajectories of the 36 Origin Void Crystals as they scattered.
The human body quickly revived, left the D-class spaceship, looked around, and found nothing unusual, just like usual.
"Get down!"
This was not just an ordinary operation, but also a test, after all, Ye Yang had already sensed something unusual.
Therefore, he became even more vigilant about the cliff top, focusing most of his attention on it.
I'm not going to worry about how many Origin Void Crystals I can collect at the bottom of the abyss.
As a result, Ye Yang collected the Origin Void Crystals one by one at the bottom of the abyss, and soon collected more than 20, but he did not see the Origin Crystal Beast come up to attack.
"What happened?"
He paused for a moment, but didn't hesitate much. He continued to follow the trajectory of the primordial void crystal as it was blown away at the moment of the explosion, heading towards the various landing points.
第23颗、27颗、31颗—34颗收集到35颗之后，叶阳双脚已经踏在渊底地面上，却不见了那头本源晶兽的蹤迹。
Only then did he feel a chill run down his spine:
"This is definitely a trap, isn't it?"
Ye Yang hesitated for a moment, then focused his attention on the first golden horn clone on the cliff top, scanning the surroundings with the detectors on the D-class spaceship.
There was nothing unusual; everything was calm and peaceful.
But it is this silence that is truly terrifying.
"Never mind, just the last two!"
Ye Yang rushed to the last two beads at top speed, extracted them into the Immortal Alliance World, and turned them into sealing beads.
"It's time to go, hurry back!"
He was preparing to have the human clone self-destruct, reviving the clone within the original core.
But suddenly, a flash of light swept across the D-class spaceship on the cliff top!
A Class D spaceship would require considerable effort even for a World Lord to destroy, yet this blade of light sliced it through as easily as cutting tofu.
The blade swept across the first golden horn clone inside the spaceship, slicing it in two.
"Immortal!!!" Ye Yang's first golden horn clone, with only half of its body remaining, was still roaring madly, activating the power of the Blood Luo and the innate secret technique 'Enhancement'.
However, if he were the Lord of the Realm, perhaps he could contend with him.
If he were a ninth-level Domain Lord, he might have a chance to save his life.
However, the first clone was only at the ninth level of the cosmic level at this time, and the gap between it and the immortal god was still too great.
The second blade of light appeared, and this time it easily cut into the massive body of the first Golden Horn clone, hitting the original core inside its body with incredible precision!
Even though this primordial core fused with 49 original void crystals and could support an internal world with a diameter of 9400 kilometers, it was still equivalent to the primordial core of an ordinary realm lord.
For an ordinary realm master, the diameter of their inner world is only tens of thousands of kilometers.
Faced with an attack from an immortal, it was naturally easily shattered!
With the original core shattered, the most crucial source of the soul naturally lost its support and quickly dissipated.
The human clone at the bottom of the abyss glared and then fell to the ground unwillingly.
Ye Yang, a member of the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company, has perished.
On Bright Peak, there are always messengers watching the Void Cliff below, monitoring everything below.
At least they can see what's happening outside the abyss.
But today, something extraordinary happened before their very eyes, so fast that they didn't even have time to report the sudden event—a prince had fallen!
"My God! Has that immortal who made the move gone mad?"
"Soul slaves! These were definitely enslaved on the extraterrestrial battlefield and infiltrated!"
"Quickly! Report to His Holiness!"
Inside the monitoring station, a group of realm lords panicked.
The Virtual Universe Company cultivates geniuses, preparing them for assassination by external forces at the Domain Lord and World Lord stages.
However, during the cosmic-level cultivation stage, due to the closed cultivation process, assassination is virtually impossible. But if something unexpected happens, then the problem becomes much bigger.
These surveillance personnel failed to detect the assassination attempt against members of the Primal Secret Realm and did not report it in time; they will certainly be punished.
"Ha ha ha ha"
On a clifftop atop a deserted island, an immortal human, wielding a crescent-shaped scimitar, stood before a pile of spaceship debris and the carcass of a colossal beast, laughing wildly: "Master! The task you entrusted to me is complete!"
Suddenly, a giant hand materialized in the sky, about to press down and capture it.
However, while this immortal was laughing, he had already begun to self-destruct.
As the giant hand pressed down, it merely grasped a ball of violent energy in its hand, failing to prevent it from self-destructing.
"Hmph~ They're quite efficient. I wonder if they're insectoids or demons?"
A cold snort echoed throughout the Void Cliff.
These changes naturally alarmed a large number of immortals.
They all came out to see what had happened, only to find that the site of the assassination was now just a pile of wreckage.
"What happened?"
"A core member who came to Void Cliff for training and adventure was assassinated and perished."
"It seems to be a primeval, hidden realm, right?"
"What a pity."
The immortals were abuzz with discussion.
Most of them are already immortal marquises, and two or three out of ten are immortal military lords. They are members of the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company. If they do not perish, their future achievements will be at least comparable to theirs, or even higher!
"A genius is just a genius after all. No matter how high their potential is, if they fall from grace, it's all for naught."
Meanwhile, in a starry sky incredibly far from the territory of humankind.
Upon receiving the message, the two alien immortals exchanged a glance and both smiled.
"Our master asked us to collect information on members of the Virtual Universe Company's cosmic-level Primal Secret Realm. Seeing that this 'Ye Yang' had already passed the eighth level of the Sky Bridge before the first qualifying battle really startled us."
"Moreover, he has the ability to create clones. If I hadn't had a servant who happened to be lurking in the Void Cliff and noticed his arrival in advance, keeping a close watch on him, I probably wouldn't have known this secret."
"It's a pity that you, my servant, are not skilled in soul manipulation. Otherwise, enslaving you with your soul before killing you would be the safest course of action," one of the alien races said, shaking his head.
"That's fine. I had my servant keep a close watch on him and only made my move after confirming his behavior patterns."
Another alien laughed smugly:
"The target is exploring the bottom of the abyss by dying and resurrecting clones, so his true core, his Achilles' heel, must be on that spaceship!"
"Having confirmed this, we should strike directly at his vital point. Even if he has multiple clones, they're doomed!"
"I never expected it to be a golden-horned behemoth—"
"He has talent and powerful survival skills. This person has the potential to grow into a high-level king or even reach the limit of kingship! It's a pity that he was too careless and too reckless."
"Hehe, exchanging the life of an ordinary Immortal Army Lord's servant for a future King is definitely not a loss."
"Report the success to your master."
In the outer area of the Void Cliff, in the crevice between two rocks, a dark purple creature quietly curled up.
Suddenly, a figure reappeared from nowhere.
Ye Yang's first clone was resurrected at the pre-set second resurrection point!
"I never expected that I would be assassinated by alien races even during a cosmic-level cultivation mission."
Ye Yang's expression was very unpleasant; he understood this without even thinking about it.
Aside from the soul slaves controlled by other hostile alien races, what immortal would want to assassinate me for no reason, offering their life in exchange for mine?
His existence is a variable in itself, which will trigger a butterfly effect, causing many things that would not have happened to occur.
Luo Feng was never assassinated by alien races when he was at the cosmic level, but that doesn’t mean that the alien races’ hidden forces can’t infiltrate him!
"I just don't know how he managed to collude with those Origin Crystal Beasts in the Abyss, going so far as to use 36 Origin Void Crystals as bait to get those Origin Crystal Beasts to cooperate in playing me."
Unfortunately, while the assassination plot succeeded, it did not achieve the results these people had envisioned.
Ye Yang was dead, but he came back to life very soon, which was something no one would have expected.
"In total, I currently have 36 Primal Void Crystals, and my first clone has already fused with 49. The resurrection of the Gate of All Heavens will naturally restore the state before death, so my first clone will soon reach the point of fusing 85 crystals."
"Shall we continue?"
Ye Yang knew that if he 'robbed' these Origin Crystal Beasts on a large scale, it would be fine for a year or six months, but over time, the news would definitely spread among these Origin Crystal Beasts.
Often walking by the river, how can there not be wet shoes?
Those primordial crystal beasts aren't mindless rock monsters; they'll surely devise countermeasures. Their recent, inexplicable collaboration with that immortal being is a clear example of this counterattack.
At that moment, a giant hand descended from the sky and grasped the immortal who had assassinated him.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yang couldn't help but shake his head:
"Forget it, we've already made such a big fuss. If we continue, it will just be too conspicuous."
He decided to give up collecting the Origin Void Crystals and leave.
Ye Yang put away the cloud-patterned vine and the intelligent core of Babata hidden in the crack of the rock, and his consciousness entered the virtual universe.
"Beep beep beep~"
Immediately, an alarm sounded from the virtual universe system.
"Ye Yang, a member of the Primal Secret Realm, you were recorded as 'dead' by the Void Cliff Bright Peak Monitoring Station 1 second ago. Cause of death: assassinated by the Immortal 'Chloe'."
"Please proceed to Bright Peak of Void Cliff for identity verification!"
Ye Yang said helplessly, "Here we go again."
However, submitting the quest also requires a trip to Bright Peak, so it's not a big deal.
"Your Highness Ye Yang, you're actually alright?"
The realm lord who came to guide Ye Yang looked surprised and full of admiration.
After quickly passing the soul aura test, the guide said:
"Please come with me. This incident was caused by the negligence of Bright Peak, which allowed a spy from another race to infiltrate."
"Your Highness's escape from death also surprised the Peak Master. After learning about your situation, the Peak Master wishes to meet you."
"Peak Master?" Ye Yang raised an eyebrow.
He has already witnessed this person's actions twice since arriving at Void Cliff.
Last time it was to suppress the uprising of the Origin Crystal Beasts; this time it's to capture the alien spy who tried to assassinate him.
