--------------------------
What just happened?
The Blood Demon God King looked up at the fireworks in the sky.
"God King?"
This was a fluctuation at the God King level.
The Blood Demon God King's expression slightly changed.
In truth, over the past few years, his actions had been relatively cautious. He hadn't used the overwhelming might of a God King to force all factions into handing over bloodlines but instead searched for information himself and hunted them down individually.
This was because the Blood Demon clearly understood that Falan Planet harbored God King-level powerhouses.
Moreover, he knew that these God Kings had all suffered severe injuries and were hiding in their respective places to heal.
The initial three-day and three-night orbit around Falan Planet had been his suggestion. Not detecting any God King presence allowed him to temporarily confirm that those God Kings hadn't fully recovered.
Even so, he hadn't recklessly gone about collecting the bloodlines he needed.
"Is it Xu Yuan?"
The Blood Demon's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the five bloodline essences he'd already gathered, integrating them into the Blood Demon Egg. He quickly moved toward the site of the fireworks' explosion while remaining wary of potential God Kings emerging from other directions.
"This Xu Yuan—just ascended to God King status, and he's already provoking an old-school God King? And one who's hiding so deep in the starry expanse!"
The Blood Demon cursed inwardly.
Youngsters truly didn't know their limits.
His energy hasn't even caught up yet, and he's already causing trouble everywhere?
Ice and fire dual extremes.
Space trembled, with visible cracks appearing. The entire universe seemed like porcelain on the verge of shattering.
The Beast God King's face darkened as his gaze locked onto the core of the ice and fire explosion.
He could sense it—the person's presence was still there, completely unscathed by any impact.
How was this possible?
Even the virtualization of spatial power couldn't have immunized him against this attack. In fact, due to the spatial instability, it should've caused even more catastrophic damage.
How did this human do it?
At the heart of the explosion, Xu Yuan stood unharmed in the depths of space, not even adopting a defensive stance. He appeared to be leisurely observing his surroundings as if on a sightseeing tour.
"The demon race…"
Xu Yuan's attention wasn't focused on his opponent, the Beast God King, but rather curiously directed toward Falan Planet.
No wonder he hadn't found a single God King on Falan Planet.
The Beast God King stayed hidden deep in the starry expanse, concealed within the fabric of cosmic space. If not for locating his figure through fortune, Xu Yuan wouldn't have found him either.
As for the three demon ancestors of the demon race, they too were in hiding.
But they were different—they remained on Falan Planet, though they seemed to have concealed themselves in extremely covert locations due to the nature of demons.
"'Nothingness'—there's actually a race involving 'nothingness.' It seems the demons of Falan Planet are extraordinary."
Xu Yuan instantly thought of things like "Celestial Demons."
These three demon ancestors of the demon race were actually hiding in the corresponding void side of Falan Planet.
It was only after experimenting—silently gaining control of the opposite side of the universe with the World of Will—that Xu Yuan sensed fluctuations from that side.
Of course, the Beast God King's attack had also acted as a trigger, causing the demon ancestors to react.
Xu Yuan didn't lose focus for long. He merely glanced in the direction of Falan Planet before refocusing on dealing with the Beast God King.
The space was nearly shattered. At this moment, Xu Yuan felt that even the slightest movement on his part could cause the space to collapse, sweeping him into spatial turbulence.
Falling into spatial turbulence meant either being swept away to an unknown location or having to resist with full strength, which would inevitably expose weaknesses.
This ice-and-fire dual-extreme technique had meticulously calculated the strength of space itself.
At this moment, even the Beast God King refrained from attacking Xu Yuan.
Because the Beast God King was also restricted.
After waiting three seconds, the space returned to its original state, and the intense elemental fluctuations gradually subsided.
Seeing Xu Yuan completely unharmed, the Beast God King's pupils visibly contracted.
"The demon race's abilities!"
A hybrid of humans and demons?
The Beast God King quickly formed numerous guesses.
Could such an origin be what allowed this brat to ascend to God King status?
But becoming a God King wasn't something achieved in isolation. It required immense external support, such as fortune. How could Falan Planet quietly produce a new God King without anyone noticing?
The question circled back to the beginning.
Where did this human come from?
Various thoughts swirled in the Beast God King's mind, but his hands didn't slow down. His two hands covered in black fur had already extended.
The pitch-black hands were invincible, even piercing through space.
Xu Yuan felt a surge of pressure.
Though he was still in the dimension of nothingness, he could still be affected by the Beast God King.
"Techniques developed from fighting the demon race?"
Xu Yuan grew excited.
What he most wanted to comprehend now was the boundary between existence and nonexistence.
However, since this dimension was so rare, Xu Yuan hadn't made it his main task. Instead, he prioritized further evolving the World of Will. Today's visit to the Beast God King was simply to gain experience in God King-level combat.
Unexpectedly, both the demon ancestors of the demon race and the Beast God King of the beastmen had mastered techniques related to "nothingness."
This was excellent—a pleasant surprise for Xu Yuan.
"Come on, let me feel your techniques!"
Xu Yuan stepped forward. Stellar energy from the surrounding universe converged, forming a brilliant galaxy.
The galaxy rotated, and the power of time seemed to distort the surrounding space. Meanwhile, a dense force of fortune was drawn in and integrated into the galaxy.
The galaxy spiraled upward around Xu Yuan's body, eventually transforming into a spear.
Xu Yuan thrust the spear forward.
The tip of the spear collided with a fist, sending out ripples imperceptible to the senses. The universe's space didn't even change.
"Are these hands something you chopped off from a demon?"
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, feeling the immense power of these hands.
It was as if they completely belonged to the realm of "nothingness."
"From what I understand, when demons reach the twelfth-stage Great Celestial God level, they're bestowed the title of Demon King. In a sense, Demon Kings are immortal. Before death, they can choose to reincarnate into a successor, known as a Demon Seed Spirit Child."
Undoubtedly, combined with Xu Yuan's perception of the demon ancestors' locations, once demons became Demon Kings, they gained immortality, which was tied to "nothingness."
Generally speaking, reincarnation and rebirth were realms only God Kings could access, as they had already condensed their essence and could integrate everything about themselves into a new body.
Reincarnation, of course, wasn't just simple memory transfer.
"Brat, die!"
The Beast God King roared, his massive black hands grabbing toward Xu Yuan again.
He had sensed it—Xu Yuan's weakness. Though he could borrow the universe's power, the gap in raw energy was too great.
Xu Yuan's expression shifted slightly.
This collision had left him feeling drained.
At the God King level, each individual was already a top-tier expert in their respective fields. Even if they hadn't fully analyzed and understood the powers they wielded, they absolutely brought those powers to their peak efficiency.
Thus, in battle, in terms of sheer power comparison, it was difficult for Xu Yuan to catch up based solely on the depth of his comprehension.
The spear in his hand transformed back into a galaxy and dissipated into the surroundings.
As the galaxy faded, the surrounding starry expanse began to shimmer with starlight. The glowing light passed between stars, resembling communication between neurons.
From afar, the entire starry sky seemed to have become a giant brain.
