With a muffled thud, Yunlan's head exploded like a ripe watermelon. Before the red and white matter could even scatter, it was completely evaporated by the power of the laws surrounding Xingchen.
The headless corpse hovered stiffly in the void, its severed neck not even having time to spurt blood before being instantly carbonized by the terrifying heat.
"Master, what should we do with these small fish?"
The King of Flames licked his lips, his eyes blazing with bloodlust.
Xingchen turned and walked away, waving her hand without looking back: "Leave no one alive."
"As ordered!"
More than a hundred kings responded in unison, their voices shaking the very stars.
The next moment, the entire star field transformed into a purgatory.
The entire process takes no more than three seconds.
After he took a few steps, all that remained behind him was emptiness. The once-mighty Falling Cloud Fleet had not even left a speck of dust.
"Palace Master!"
Elena, accompanied by three domain lords, hurried forward, her eyes filled with excitement.
Xingchen's gaze swept over them, and when he saw the injuries of the three domain lords, his brows furrowed slightly.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xingchen summoned three world rings that shone with dazzling light, which floated in front of the three domain lords.
"These resources are enough for you to recover from your injuries."
The stars' voice remained calm.
"By the way, I'll break through to the Realm Lord level."
The Azure Mist Domain Lord trembled as he accepted the ring. A sweep of his spiritual energy over it sent a jolt through him: "This...this is..."
The ring contained mountains of cosmic crystals, various rare treasures, and even several treasures that suited their respective law attributes, each of which was priceless!
"Take it."
Xingchen said calmly.
“You deserve to shed blood for the Star Palace.”
"thump!"
The three domain lords simultaneously knelt on one knee, their foreheads slamming heavily into the void: "Thank you for your grace, Palace Master! Your subordinates swear to serve you to the death!"
Elena stood to the side, her eyes shining with satisfaction. She knew that from this day forward, the Star Palace would have three more loyal World Lord-level combatants.
"Get up."
Xingchen slightly raised her hand, and a force lifted the three of them up.
"Go and heal your wounds first."
After the three domain lords respectfully withdrew, Xingchen turned to Elena and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work during this time."
Elena quickly shook her head: "This subordinate only did her duty. It's the Palace Master who..."
She hesitated.
"Are you leaving again after coming back this time?"
Xingchen gazed into the depths of the starry sky, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I'm not leaving for now. After all, Lord Luoyun has gone too far as to bully us. If I don't respond, wouldn't that be a bit unreasonable!"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "I'll play along with him for a while."
Xingchen's gaze swept over the hundreds of king-level experts under his command, his voice resounding throughout the starry sky:
"King Hiro, King Doyan...!"
He selected ten people in a row.
Ten powerful experts at the pinnacle of their kingship level stepped forward simultaneously and knelt on one knee: "Your subordinates are here!"
"The ten of you will remain at the Star Palace headquarters and obey Elena's orders."
The voice of the stars is beyond question.
"Ensure that headquarters is absolutely safe."
"As ordered!"
The ten kings responded in unison.
Xingchen turned to Elena and said, "You are in charge of overall coordination. Notify me immediately of any unusual activity. All ten of them are Immortal Kings. With them guarding the country, no one can break through Blue Rain Star unless ordered by the Qianwu King."
"To bestow...to bestow upon the title of an immortal king!"
He wasn't entirely clear on the specific strength levels of the Immortals, but based on their aura, he felt they were much stronger than ordinary Immortals.
This was actually his misperception, because the strength was far greater than that of Elena. However, judging from Xingchen's expression, they dared not unleash their power in front of Elena.
Elena nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
Xingchen gazed one last time into the depths of the starry sky, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "The rest of you, follow me to Falling Cloud Star!"
"Yes!"
Everyone rushed up to the Purple Cloud Palace.
The Purple Cloud Palace burst forth with dazzling purple light, instantly transforming into a streak of light that traversed the Milky Way.
"Today, I will let the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom know..."
"Anyone who dares to disturb my Star Palace will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
Meanwhile, Luo Yunxing.
Marquis Luoyun was cultivating in the main hall.
He looked up abruptly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "What's wrong? Why do I suddenly feel so uneasy?"
"Report——!"
A realm lord rushed into the main hall in a panic.
"My lord! Something terrible has happened! Young Master Yunlan just sent out a distress signal, but... it has just been confirmed that Young Master Yunlan is... dead!"
"what?!"
Marquis Luoyun suddenly stood up, his aura erupting uncontrollably.
Chapter 70 One Hundred Million Hunyuan
"Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
The realm lord trembled all over, his forehead pressed against the ground: "Reporting, reporting to Your Excellency, according to the last transmitted images, the young master encountered a mysterious powerhouse outside Blue Rain Star."
"Where's the footage?!"
Marquis Luoyun shouted sternly.
The Realm Lord quickly presented a quantum computer with both hands.
Luo Yunhou grabbed it, causing it to pop out.
In the scene, Yunlan stands proudly in the starry sky when suddenly a purple palace descends. Immediately afterward, Yunlan is forced to her knees as if pressed down by an invisible hand, and then… her head explodes!
Luo Yunhou's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
His fingers trembled uncontrollably, almost crushing the quantum computer in his hand.
"This...this is..."
His voice was as dry as sandpaper.
"A palace of immense value?!"
As one of the three hundred kings and marquises of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Marquis Luoyun naturally recognized this level of treasure.
Throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, he had never seen an immortal being who possessed such a treasure!
I'm afraid only the confidant of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler would possess a treasure of this caliber!
He didn't know that the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom he spoke of was a complete pauper.
The oppressive aura emanating from the purple palace in the image was suffocating, even through the visual medium. That perfectly natural fluctuation of law indicated it was undoubtedly a true treasure!
"Yun Lan is such an idiot!"
Marquis Luoyun's face was ashen.
"We actually provoked such a being!"
He no longer wants to think about his son's death.
Why keep someone of this level around if you've offended them? It'll bring disaster to the entire family!
He suddenly remembered something and abruptly turned to look at the realm lord: "Find out who owns this palace! Immediately! Right now!"
"Reporting to you, sir, according to the last message the young master sent back, the other party claimed to be the Lord of the Star Palace."
"Star Palace? Stars?"
Marquis Luoyun frowned, then his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Wait! Could it be that Star King who has recently risen to fame on the extraterritorial battlefield?!"
He remembered receiving intelligence a few days ago that a mysterious human powerhouse had appeared on the extraterrestrial battlefield, and that the Star King had recently snatched a treasure from a group of immortals and escaped unscathed.
Combined with the palace-like treasures on the screen.
The results speak for themselves.
"It's over!"
Luo Yunhou's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
He finally understood why he was so uneasy; it was a premonition of impending death!
This is a king who can rise to fame even in places like the battlefields beyond the borders; his ordinary title of marquis is nothing compared to him.
Marquis Luo Yun forced himself to stand up, but cold sweat poured down his forehead uncontrollably. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down and think of a solution.
Xingchen shouldn't kill him, after all, he is one of the three hundred kings of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
