Chapter 316 Irele brutally beats up the Nightmare Candle King (4.8K)
This meeting of the Giant Axe was not long, because the effects of the "Primordial Secret Record" had already been known to the other major forces.
Even though the Virtual Universe Company strictly forbids revealing the specific effects of the secret technique, the news of nearly three hundred people being promoted from King to Universe Venerable cannot be kept from others.
Not to mention, during this arcane test, one of the Venerables was promoted to the Lord of the Universe.
When the Lord of Silverstorm appeared at the Great Axe Conference, the importance of the Primordial Secret Record was beyond doubt, and the proposal to promote the secret method was naturally passed unanimously.
As for the contribution reward for Chen Yuan, the founder of the secret method, Giant Axe also made a unilateral decision to distribute it at 6000 Treasure Points, which would be 1200 points for each of the five major forces.
It wasn't that no one objected to this decision, but firstly, the effects of the secret technique were obvious to all, and secondly, the giant axe had already acted first and informed Chen Yuan in advance, thus providing him with the treasure points. Therefore, it was ultimately passed smoothly.
Then, the giant axe explained the origin and effects of the Earth.
When they heard that Earth had given birth to geniuses like Hong and Chen Yuan, who possessed such strong willpower and talent, unsurprisingly, there was a strong call for the race to take control of the Earth, and more than half of the universe lords agreed to this proposal.
Of course, this proposal was rejected by the giant axe, for a simple reason: Earth is Chen Yuan's home.
Chen Yuan is not only the creator of "The Secret Record of the Primordial Beginning", as well as Wang Jia and Wang Hun, but his own strength has also reached the level of a top-tier cosmic overlord.
Moreover, this strength was personally verified by the Giant Axe, with Chaos, Darkness, and Youhou witnessing it from the sidelines.
This news effectively silenced most of the high-ranking officials, but one or two universe masters were still somewhat tempted by Earth and continued to insist that Earth be handed over to their respective races for control.
Of course, the insistence of one or two people was quickly drowned out by the voices of the crowd, especially since the six universe masters of the Virtual Universe Company publicly supported Chen Yuan, and the final resolution was passed: the ownership of Earth will remain in the hands of Earthlings.
So after the meeting, news about the "Primordial Secret Records" and Earth spread among the group of cosmic venerables.
After learning of these two pieces of news, the human race's cosmic lords were basically divided into two factions.
One approach is to focus on cultivating the Primordial Secret Records, striving to correct the errors in one's own laws as soon as possible, and to find a breakthrough opportunity. Such individuals usually stay in small universes for a relatively long time.
Secondly, there are the cosmic venerables who are more interested in Earth. Unlike the other group, these people have spent more time in the original universe, so the laws of the universe have hardly been affected.
Furthermore, most of the Cosmic Venerables have formed large families. Perhaps for the sake of their descendants, or simply to cultivate a descendant with super talent, this group values Earth far more than the Primordial Secret Record.
It could even be said that, in order to negotiate the lease of Earth, more than half of the rulers of the 1008 universe nations either went there in person or sent their trusted confidants to Earth.
It is worth mentioning that, regarding the news from Earth, just like in the original story, Venerable Fire Erosion of the Giant Axe Arena arranged for his son, Demon Candle King, to go there.
However, unlike the original story where the purpose of buying Earth was different, this time, due to the Supreme Council's ban, only the various cosmic lords are allowed to purchase Earth's "reproductive rights," and they are not allowed to threaten Earth's lords with force.
Of course, because information about Earth was blocked, Venerable Fire Eclipse did not know who the ruler of Earth was, but his eldest son, Demon Candle King, discovered that the Earth his father was talking about was actually the territory of Luo Feng, who had caused him to be dismissed from his post!
Just like in the original story, long before the Giant Axe Conference, the Candle King had already found out about Earth and arranged for someone to secretly place an Immortal Crystal on Earth as a coordinate for the teleportation of the divine kingdom.
His purpose, of course, was to one day take revenge on Luo Feng in some way.
Unfortunately, not long after his conflict with him, Luo Feng went to Chaos City to cultivate, so the Demon Candle King naturally put his revenge plan on hold for the time being.
Unexpectedly, in just a few hundred years, this ordinary native planet has transformed into a treasure trove for the entire race, and it is foreseeable that Luo Feng, as the lord of Earth, will gain a lot of resources from this.
To the Demon Candle King, letting his enemy make money was more painful than losing money himself. Of course, he didn't want to see Luo Feng peacefully making a fortune off Earth.
"Fortunately, I had my men hide an immortal crystal on Earth beforehand."
The Demon Candle King felt fortunate. "My father sent me to Earth to negotiate the purchase of reproductive rights. If I had followed the normal procedure, I would not have been able to compete with the other cosmic venerables."
"But with the cosmic crystal, I could arrive on Earth several days earlier."
"Although my father forbids me from using force in this matter, that Earth lord Luo Feng is just a minor domain lord. I can directly use my power to intimidate him and forcibly buy all the spots. Does Luo Feng dare to disobey me?"
The Demon Candle King had a well-thought-out plan: "Not to mention, Luo Feng has already entered Chaos City to cultivate, and Earth currently has no powerful protectors."
"As long as I have Luo Feng's family under my control, this kid is completely at my mercy."
His plan was sound: if Luo Feng was forced to comply and he didn't use force, no one could accuse him of wrongdoing.
"It's probably impossible to get Luo Feng to give up all ownership of Earth, but getting all reproductive rights at once is no problem."
"Anyway, I won't hurt his family, but if I lock his family in my divine kingdom for the rest of their lives, what can they do to me? They can only obediently submit."
"Once the die is cast and I obtain the right to sell the right to reproduce on Earth, I can have my father resell these rights, and then the wealth that belongs to Luo Feng will naturally belong to me."
Thinking of this, Demon Candle King wished he could take action immediately. However, in addition to entrusting Demon Candle King with this matter, Venerable Fire Erosion also entrusted his disciples with it. Naturally, the person in charge was his son, Demon Candle King.
Therefore, before setting off, the Demon Candle King contacted his junior brothers and sisters, and only announced the plan after everyone had arrived.
When everyone heard that Senior Brother Demon Candle actually possessed the divine coordinates of Earth, they were overjoyed and believed that they could perfectly complete their teacher's task.
They then heard about the Demon Candle King's plan. Since this group was unaware of Earth's true nature, they were immediately united in their hatred upon hearing that Earth's lord actually had a grudge against the Demon Candle King, and all expressed their willingness to obey the Demon Candle King's orders.
Therefore, after gathering the five kings and twelve marquis disciples under the Fire Erosion Venerable, the Demon Candle King, shortly after the conclusion of the supreme meeting...
They arrived on Earth directly through the divine kingdom teleportation. Of course, those who acted even faster than the Demon Candle King were Luo Feng and the others, who had left the initial universe much earlier and also returned to Earth through the divine kingdom teleportation!
Even the Immortal Crystal, which the Candle King had placed on Earth beforehand, was found immediately after Ireil took over the Earth's defense system and taken outside the Earth's boundaries.
So when the Candle King and his group of eighteen people were teleported over, they were met by a lineup consisting of Irelia and the three Immortal Zerg Queens.
As for Luo Feng? Given his current limited strength, he is currently hiding with Dylan aboard the Meteorite Starship, observing the changing situation.
Luo Feng initially didn't know who had placed the Immortal Crystal on Earth, but with the appearance of Demon Candle King and the others, his expression instantly changed: "It was him!"
"It's actually the Demon Candle King who's come." Dylan, standing to the side, was also worried. "Junior Uncle, the enemy has brought a total of eighteen people. I roughly estimate that there should be six powerful kings and twelve powerful marquises among them. This is not to be underestimated."
Luo Feng did not tell Dylan the details about Irene and the others, only saying that they were reinforcements borrowed from a friend.
"Junior Uncle, what is the strength of these four people you found?" Because Irele and the others were of such high cultivation levels, and each of them had a powerful treasure to conceal their aura, Dylan couldn't tell their cultivation levels at all.
"Don't worry, Dylan." After his initial surprise, Luo Feng calmed down and smiled as he thought of Irele and the others' formidable strength. "Those three immortals, each over ten meters tall, are the Zerg's immortal-level queens, whose strength is no less than that of a King-level Invincible."
"An Immortal-class Zerg Queen!" Dylan's expression changed instantly, even showing some fear, because the name reminded him of unpleasant memories.
Yes, just a few hundred years ago, when he and his junior uncle were on a mission to eliminate traitors, they were attacked by an Immortal-level Zerg mother hive.
If it weren't for the Golden Horn Clan elder's desperate rescue, they would have almost lost their lives there, and they still feel lingering fear when they think about it now.
However, Dylan quickly realized that this time the Immortal Queen was not an enemy, but rather came to protect them. He was immediately relieved and said with a smile, "With three Queens protecting us, I think the Demon Candle King and his people are going to walk right into our trap."
"Yes," Luo Feng sighed, "Fortunately, Chen Yuan arranged for people to do it; otherwise, given the Demon Candle King's temperament, it's hard to say whether he would have agreed to the deal."
As the two people inside the spaceship talked, in the outer space, after being teleported over, the Demon Candle King discovered that this was not Earth, but a cosmic space.
Furthermore, not far away, there were four immortal tigers of unknown strength watching intently.
The Demon Candle King's expression immediately changed: "Who are you? Where is this?"
"Senior brother, this is indeed Earth's coordinate system," a blue-haired, one-horned old man beside him transmitted his voice. "Look at the distance; Earth is only three million kilometers away."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Candle King looked into the distance and frowned slightly: "It really is Earth, but the Immortal Crystal I set up—"
A sudden thought struck him. He looked at the four women, including Irelia, and wondered, "So, these are the ones who took the Immortal Crystal and changed the teleportation coordinates of the Divine Kingdom? Who are they?"
Unable to assess the opponent's strength, the Demon Candle King and his companions hesitated to make any rash moves.
But Irelia wouldn't wait. In fact, she recognized him at a glance. The leader of the opposing kings was the same villain who had troubled her master in the Wulong Starfield back then.
"It's the Demon Candle King. This guy made things difficult for my master back then, he's definitely not a good person."
Ireil transmitted her voice to the three Zerg sisters: "The other side didn't make the first move, they might be holding back on something, but I believe they came to Earth with bad intentions."
"I'm not good at dealing with spirits. Who among you is confident you can use illusions to influence them and make them tell the truth?"
"Sister Irelia, this is not difficult." Mingli, the eldest of the three Zerg sisters, smiled confidently. "Our Zerg Queen is all a master of the soul, not to mention the royal soul and soul treasures bestowed upon us by our master."
"I can easily control these people with my soul all by myself, and of course, casting illusions is even simpler."
"Just use illusions to make them tell the truth," Irele said. "There's no need to waste enslavement slots on these people. Once their crimes are recorded in the virtual universe, I'll seal them away and hand them over to my master for disposal."
"no problem!"
Mingli readily agreed. As her eyes brightened slightly, a wave of soul energy spread out, instantly striking the Demon Candle King and the others, leaving them all stunned.
After activating the virtual universe synchronized recording, Irele asked telepathically, "This is Earth. What is your purpose here? Tell the truth, and I'll start you!"
Irelia pointed, her gaze fixed on the Candle King, who stared blankly as he said, "I came to Earth because—"
He quickly made the purpose of his trip public, and even spread it through divine power, so that even Luo Feng and the other person on Meteorite Star heard it.
"That Candle King is truly cunning!" Luo Feng's expression changed slightly. The Candle King's method had struck at his weak point. If it weren't for the help of Chen Yuan's subordinates, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Of course, Chen Yuan would not have rashly exposed Earth's special characteristics without being absolutely certain of its safety.
Soon, under the influence of the illusion, the Demon Candle King and his party revealed the purpose of their trip, which was then uploaded to the virtual universe system by Ireil.
After the evidence was recorded, Irene said, "That's enough, let's dispel the illusion."
"Now that I have gathered enough evidence, I can legally retaliate."
"Sister Irene," Mingli asked doubtfully, "Do you really need to deal with these small fry? I can handle them all by myself."
"This matter must be handled by me," Irele said calmly. "Back then, that Candle King dared to wrong my master, and I've always remembered that grudge. I can't let them be subdued so easily."
"How can I vent my anger if I don't teach them a lesson?"
"Okay, then." Mingli blinked. "I'll dispel the illusion then."
Ireil nodded, and the instant she dispelled the illusion, she instantly summoned the powerful set of treasures, "Master of Wisdom".
"The realm unfolds—a glimpse of the heavens!"
The moment the Demon Candle King and his companions left the illusion, they instantly recalled their earlier conversation and their expressions changed drastically: "Oh no, the opponent is a Soul Master!"
However, before they could make any move, the white-haired girl leading the group suddenly changed her appearance, and put on one powerful treasure after another.
As the silver bracelet on the girl's hand flashed, a verdant domain instantly unfolded, enveloping them all and pressing them down so hard they could barely move.
"A domain-type treasure?!" The Demon Candle King's expression changed instantly. With his vast knowledge, he immediately recognized the true nature of this domain.
After the Wisdom main set resonates, the power of any treasure on Irelia's body is no less than that of a supreme treasure, naturally including the domain.
"Who exactly are you?" The Demon Candle King asked, his face pale. "I have no grudge against you, and my target is only Earth. It should have nothing to do with you."
Irene smiled coldly, too lazy to answer him. Instead, with a thought, the Seven-Leaf Abyss Wheel transformed into beams of light, slicing towards him.
In an instant, all eighteen immortals present, except for the Demon Candle King, had more than 90% of their divine power extinguished and fell into a deep sleep.
As for the Candle King? Irene didn't annihilate his divine power instantly; that would be too easy on him. Instead, she dealt with the others first.
He manipulated the Seven-Leaf Abyss Wheel to cut through his body time and time again.
This act of being pierced by countless blades was nothing short of torture for the Demon Candle King. Having been pampered since childhood, he had never experienced such pain.
Even when his father, Venerable Fire Erosion, was training him, it wasn't this torturous.
"Stop! Who are you?!" The Demon Candle King's face contorted with rage. What bothered him most was that he still didn't know why this white-haired girl was targeting him so much.
He struggled desperately, but how could he possibly break free from the oppressive power of a supreme treasure-level domain?
Not to mention that Ireil's divine power is now comparable to that of a high-ranking Venerable. Even with just a slight exertion, she can instantly annihilate all of the Demon Candle King's divine power.
However, she didn't do that in order to avenge her master.
Thus, the Candle King was like a mosquito caught in a spider's web, left only to quietly await death in despair.
Seven strange leaves passed through her body time and time again. Even though Ireil didn't exert much force, the power of the Candle King gradually faded away as time passed.
When his divine power dropped below 50%, fear finally appeared in the eyes of the Demon Candle King, who cried out in panic, "Stop! My father is the Fire Erosion Venerable! Aren't you afraid of his revenge?!"
Irene remained silent, simply watching as the other's divine power gradually diminished.
Only when the Demon Candle King's divine power dropped below 30% did she slowly step forward, her blazing white longsword shining brightly in her hand.
She stared coldly at him, her tone disdainful as she said, "Erosion Venerable, are you very strong?"
With that, Irene raised her longsword, ready to deliver the final blow.
"No!" The Demon Candle King's eyes widened as he cried out in his final moments, "Father, save me—"
Just as the blazing white longsword was about to pierce the god's body, a sudden pressure descended, followed by an urgent shout:
"stop!"
