Outside the Milky Way Star Domain.
Three figures converge.
These three figures are the same three rank-eight invincible ones who previously attempted to assassinate Lin Yuan.
At this moment, these three rank-eight invincible ones are filled with fear and their auras are weak. They paid a terrible price to escape the pursuit of the Milky Way Star Lord.
"How can the Milky Way Star Lord be so strong?" one figure trembled as he spoke. Originally, they were five rank-eight invincible ones, thinking the task was simple: to assassinate a newly advanced rank-eight evolver.
Wasn't this supposed to be an easy task? How could that Milky Way Star Lord, even if a genius, pose a problem? But reality slapped them hard. If they hadn't run quickly, they would have been completely left in the Milky Way Star Domain.
Although the three rank-eight invincible ones had avatars, they had invested countless resources to condense each avatar, and losing one would be painful for a long time.
"How does the Insect Race conduct their operations? They didn't even investigate the background of the Milky Way Star Lord before sending us to assassinate him," the second rank-eight invincible one couldn't help but say.
The Milky Way Star Lord was too strong.
Strong enough to make rank-eight invincible ones tremble with fear.
Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly the Insect Race's fault.
"Yes, how does the Insect Race gather intelligence?" the third rank-eight invincible one also complained.
Milky Way Main Star.
Countless evolvers were in shock at the scene they had just witnessed.
What did they see? Five rank-eight invincible aliens were easily repelled by the Milky Way Star Lord.
Ordinary evolvers couldn't see more, only knowing that the five rank-eight invincible ones voluntarily retreated.
But rank-eight evolvers could roughly see that the Milky Way Star Lord chased two rank-eight invincible ones and easily killed them.
Killed?
Rank-eight invincible ones?
These two terms shouldn't appear together at all.
Even if a rank-eight invincible one is killed, it would be by a rank-nine powerhouse or some war weapon.
Killed by the newly advanced rank-eight Milky Way Star Lord?
Is this world crazy?
"When did the Lord of the Stars become so powerful?"
"Why do I feel that those rank-eight invincible ones are very weak?"
"How can rank-eight invincible ones be weak? Did you forget the space oppression they caused the moment they appeared?"
"It's not that the rank-eight invincible ones are weak, it's that the Lord is too strong."
Chun Bo and Jia Li, two rank-seven evolvers, were on the Milky Way Main Star, discussing excitedly.
Red Skin and Green Eyes were the same, looking at the Milky Way Star Lord with shock as he effortlessly displayed his strength in killing rank-eight invincible ones.
They had followed the Red Kun Star Lord and knew the power of rank-eight invincible ones. Even the Red Kun Star Lord couldn't kill a rank-eight invincible one.
Suppressing a rank-eight invincible one might be possible, but defeating or even killing one was as hard as climbing to the sky.
The Milky Way Star Lord.
Outside the Milky Way Main Star, Captain Nolan's mouth was dry. He had seen more than those rank-eight evolvers on the main star.
He had witnessed the appearance of the five rank-eight invincible aliens and their panicked escape.
"The myth of the rank-eight invincible ones has been shattered by the Milky Way Star Lord."
Captain Nolan quickly thought.
The so-called myth of the rank-eight invincible ones is that they absolutely cannot be killed by same-level powerhouses.
Rank-eight invincible ones are at the absolute peak of the rank-eight level.
To kill a rank-eight invincible one, there are only two ways: either a higher-level powerhouse takes action, or one uses some powerful 'external force'.
The external force refers to weapons, treasures, and so on.
On the alien battlefield, it occasionally happens that some strong individuals wield powerful weapons.
That is considered 'external force'.
But the Milky Way Star Lord just now did not use any external force.
This was clear to the five rank-eight invincible ones, and to Captain Nolan as well.
Not using external force yet easily killing rank-eight invincible ones, isn't this shattering the myth?
Whoosh.
While Captain Nolan was still in shock.
A figure suddenly appeared before him.
It was the Milky Way Star Lord.
"I'll take these Taiwei Pure Crystals," Lin Yuan said.
Just now, when he was about to collect the Taiwei Pure Crystals, he was interrupted by the five rank-eight invincible ones. Now that he had dealt with them, he naturally intended to finish the business.
"Okay."
"Please sign for the Taiwei Pure Crystals, Milky Way Star Lord."
Captain Nolan immediately responded.
He then respectfully spoke.
At this moment, Captain Nolan's respect was entirely from the heart, without any other factors.
Before today, Captain Nolan's respect for Lin Yuan was due to his background, talent, and other factors.
But now, it was entirely due to his strength.
Just like countless evolvers of human civilization, they revered and respected the nine strongest ones.
Buzz.
As Lin Yuan confirmed his identity and signed for the crystals.
With a thought, he stored the spatial devices from the warship into his internal world.
The Taiwei Pure Crystals purchased with eighty thousand universe crystals, piled together, were enough to form several planets.
Captain Nolan, near the peak of rank-eight, had an internal world only a few thousand miles in diameter and couldn't hold all the Taiwei Pure Crystals.
As for putting the spatial devices containing a large amount of Taiwei Pure Crystals into the internal world, it depended on the carrying capacity of the internal world.
A spatial device holding materials the size of a planet cannot be stored in an internal world only a few hundred miles in diameter.
But for Lin Yuan, these Taiwei Pure Crystals were not a problem.
Even without expansion, Lin Yuan's current internal world was millions of miles in diameter.
Not to mention eighty thousand universe crystals worth of Taiwei Pure Crystals, even eight hundred thousand universe crystals worth could be easily stored.
Milky Way Main Star, inside the palace.
After storing all the Taiwei Pure Crystals in his internal world, Lin Yuan returned here directly.
"Let's look at the spoils of war," Lin Yuan thought, and two spatial wristbands appeared before him.
These two spatial wristbands came from the two rank-eight invincible ones Lin Yuan had killed. In addition, the essence and blood from their dissolving bodies and their weapons and treasures were also collected.
"So wealthy."
Lin Yuan roughly explored them, a smile appearing on his face.
Inside the two spatial wristbands, just the universe crystals alone exceeded two hundred thousand.
Not to mention other treasures and weapons.
If converted to universe crystals, it was a huge income.
Lin Yuan roughly calculated that the total value of the spoils from killing two rank-eight invincible ones was close to five hundred thousand universe crystals.
In other words, one rank-eight invincible one contributed an average of two hundred fifty thousand universe crystals to Lin Yuan.
This was actually the normal value of a rank-eight invincible one.
Whether it was the Dark Lin Clan's Sara or another rank-eight invincible one, they didn't expect any issues with this assassination of the Milky Way Star Lord.
The Milky Way Star Domain is at the edge of human civilization territory, and the worst outcome they considered was a failed assassination, expecting to retreat intact. They never imagined being completely trapped by Lin Yuan.
So these two rank-eight invincible ones' avatars carried a large number of universe crystals and treasures, not expecting any risk in the assassination mission.
"This is... Memory Poison?"
Lin Yuan's expression slightly changed.
In the Dark Lin Clan's Sara's spatial wristband, he discovered this strange item.
"The aliens intended to completely kill me..." Lin Yuan naturally knew the effect of Memory Poison, a strange item targeting the memory level, even the strongest 'resurrection' couldn't save from it.
"Unfortunately, Memory Poison is ineffective against me." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Even without his strength surging to a level comparable to a rank-nine powerhouse after the eighth traversal, the Divine Sealing Bead given by the strongest Xia Qin could resist the invasion of Memory Poison.
"Although useless to me, such a strange item is priceless." Lin Yuan carefully put away the Memory Poison.
"In a flash, I've made back my investment." Lin Yuan felt joyful.
Earlier, he was distressed about purchasing eighty thousand universe crystals worth of Taiwei Pure Crystals, but unexpectedly, he had now gained treasures worth five hundred thousand universe crystals.
Not only did he make back his investment, but he also made a huge profit.
And this was excluding the value of Memory Poison.
Lin Yuan didn't know the exact value of Memory Poison, but he was sure it was far more than tens of thousands of universe crystals.
"With this Memory Poison, I can completely kill a peerless genius of the aliens," Lin Yuan thought.
Not only the Insect Race and other peak races collect and list human peerless geniuses for assassination, but human civilization also collects lists of peerless geniuses from other peak races. Killing one equals removing a threat to human civilization and earns significant merit points.
"If only I had also captured those three rank-eight invincible ones."
"At least I should have chased them."
Lin Yuan felt some regret. He didn't know that these rank-eight invincible aliens, when entering human civilization territory for assassination, would carry so many treasures and universe crystals.
Virtual World.
Personal Space.
Red Kun Star Lord and White Light Star Lord sat facing each other.
"What did you say? The aliens sent five rank-eight invincible ones to assassinate my disciple?" Red Kun Star Lord was shocked.
The moment White Light Star Lord discovered the five rank-eight invincible aliens outside the Milky Way Main Star, he split a part of his consciousness into the virtual world to contact Red Kun Star Lord.
"Don't worry, I will use the secret treasure White Heart Flame." White Light Star Lord's expression was solemn.
"White Heart Flame..." Red Kun Star Lord wasn't reassured.
Once activated, the White Heart Flame could indeed unleash nearly rank-nine basic power, but the opponents were five rank-eight invincible ones.
If they were willing to pay the price, they could completely endure the damage of White Heart Flame for a short time.
Since the aliens had dispatched five rank-eight invincible ones, they must have been determined to succeed.
"No, I have to contact the strongest ones."
Red Kun Star Lord abruptly stood up.
"Wait."
Suddenly, White Light Star Lord stopped Red Kun Star Lord.
"Wait for what?" Red Kun Star Lord frowned.
"They have retreated; those five rank-eight invincible aliens have retreated." White Light Star Lord was silent for a moment and said with disbelief.
"Retreated?"
Red Kun Star Lord was also stunned.
Although this outcome was unexpected, it made him slightly relieved.
"Did one of our rank-nine evolvers pass by and save my disciple?" Red Kun Star Lord sat down again.
"I must thank them in person."
In Red Kun Star Lord's view, only a rank-nine evolver could make five rank-eight invincible ones voluntarily retreat.
As for human rank-eight invincible evolvers? One or two rank-eight invincible evolvers couldn't make five rank-eight invincible aliens retreat.
As for five or six human evolvers? How could there be such a coincidence? Rank-eight invincible evolvers mostly stationed in medium-sized alien battlefields, wouldn't gather without the three goddesses' command.
So Red Kun Star Lord believed it was a passing human rank-nine evolver who saved Lin Yuan.
"It wasn't a rank-nine evolver." White Light Star Lord was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"It wasn't a rank-nine evolver?" Red Kun Star Lord was surprised. "Then who were the rank-eight invincible ones? I must thank them personally."
If not a rank-nine evolver, then it must have been several passing rank-eight invincible ones. Although this scene was unbelievable, since it happened, Red Kun Star Lord wouldn't say anything.
"No passing rank-eight invincible ones." White Light Star Lord was silent for a moment before speaking again.
These words made Red Kun Star Lord also fall silent.
"Old man, what do you mean?" Red Kun Star Lord grew impatient.
Denying his guesses but not revealing the truth, what was he trying to hide?
"Your disciple himself repelled those five rank-eight invincible aliens." White Light Star Lord looked at Red Kun Star Lord with a complicated expression.
"My disciple... um... who did you say?" Red Kun Star Lord was stunned, not reacting.
He understood every word White Light Star Lord said, but together they made Red Kun Star Lord a bit confused.
"I said, your disciple, with his own power, made the five rank-eight invincible aliens retreat voluntarily." White Light Star Lord repeated.
Now, Red Kun Star Lord fully understood.
He blinked, not knowing what to say.
Making five rank-eight invincible ones voluntarily retreat could mean many things, but the most likely reason was that those five rank-eight invincible ones felt they couldn't deal with Lin Yuan, so they retreated.
Entering human territory for an assassination, even on the edge, those five rank-eight invincible ones wouldn't dare stay long. Once they realized they couldn't succeed, they would retreat decisively.
To avoid being intercepted by human powerhouses.
But to achieve this, Lin Yuan must also be a rank-eight invincible one.
Thinking of this, Red Kun Star Lord felt emotional. How long had it been since he accepted his little disciple, who now had grown to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
"Red Kun, there's one more thing I don't know if I should say." White Light Star Lord glanced at the emotional Red Kun Star Lord, hesitating.
"What can't you say now?" Red Kun Star Lord laughed. "I should be happy that my disciple has caught up with me."
"Your disciple not only made those five rank-eight invincible ones retreat but also chased and killed two of them."
White Light Star Lord said softly.
"Killed two rank-eight invincible ones?"
Red Kun Star Lord fell silent again. Even with his strength, he couldn't kill two rank-eight invincible ones, let alone while being surrounded by five.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Red Kun Star Lord's expression grew serious.
Killing rank-eight invincible ones isn't inconceivable; on large alien battlefields, rank-eight invincible ones fall from time to time.
But Lin Yuan...
"I confirm."
White Light Star Lord affirmed.
Though not a rank-eight invincible one himself, his deep understanding of space rules allowed him to see clearly the death of those two rank-eight invincible aliens at the hands of the Milky Way Star Lord.
"My disciple..."
Red Kun Star Lord, hearing this, didn't doubt but showed a helpless look.
He had misspoken earlier.
His disciple hadn't caught up to him.
He had surpassed him.
