Chapter 522: All Captured

Marquises Hippo and the three other Marquises made the right choice to scatter and flee.

Their actions were decisive and well-coordinated.

However, a correct choice does not guarantee the expected outcome.

From beginning to end, Marquises Hippo and his companions only focused on capturing and controlling Yi Chen to gain unimaginable benefits.

Yet, no one knew that Yi Chen had received news more than two months ago, just two hours after Duke Farah decided to send an assassination team to the blood-colored planet.

He had been waiting for them to arrive.

With Yi Chen’s current strength realm, defeating and controlling them was as good as certain.

His previous pursuit and attacks were merely for researching and improving the Heaven-Slashing Technique.

Now that the technique had been successfully refined, when Yi Chen decided to end the battle, the escape of Marquises Hippo and the others would change nothing.

With a thought, Yi Chen appeared before Marquises Hippo.

A sea of fire surged toward Marquises Hippo.

Caught off guard, Marquises Hippo had barely shifted direction before being engulfed by the flames.

Screams echoed within the sea of fire.

Looking at the other three Marquises, the furthest one had only managed to escape just over a thousand kilometers.

This distance was almost negligible compared to Yi Chen’s divine consciousness, which had reached over four hundred thousand kilometers.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Chen appeared before another Marquises.

Once again, a sea of fire consumed the opponent before he could react.

Next came the third and fourth Marquises.

Including the strongest member, Marquises Hippo, all four were swallowed and controlled by the sea of fire.

Once all four Marquises were trapped within the sea of fire, the first Marquises, still struggling, repaired his body continuously thanks to his powerful self-healing ability.

Yi Chen arrived before him, delivering another blast of fire.

Within just a few seconds, he reappeared before Marquises Hippo and the other three, unleashing another wave of flames upon them.

Thus, he continuously drained the blood of these five Marquises.

From beginning to end, he had not even used the Map of Mountains and Rivers or the Binding Immortal Rope, yet he controlled five Marquises whose strength realms were on par with his own.

Meanwhile, Marquises Moses watched in awe.

Indeed, the master had not only advanced an entire major realm in a short term but also showcased terrifying strength.

Based on his estimates, even Duke Farah, who was over level 140, would undoubtedly be defeated in front of Yi Chen.

In just two or three minutes, Yi Chen ended the sea of fire attack.

The blood of the five Marquises was almost completely exhausted, leaving only a little left.

Marquises Moses seamlessly took action just as the flames vanished and the bodies of the five Marquises had not fully recovered, using the unique methods of the Undying Race to control them one by one.

In total, within just half an hour, the six Marquises and thirty-five Counts had all become prisoners.

“Master!”

Marquises Moses respectfully approached Yi Chen.

“Make your decision!”

Yi Chen disliked wasting time, so he gave a lot of power to his subordinates.

He treated Marquises Moses, the first insider of the Undying Race, in the same way.

“Okay!”

Marquises Moses quickly nodded.

Not saying anything more, Yi Chen instantly returned to the flying treasure to continue his training.

Marquises Moses excitedly calculated and released the six Marquises and thirty-five Counts.

Streams of energy flowed into the bodies of these Marquises and Counts, awakening them.

“Marquises Moses, what do you want by colluding with the strongest member of humanity?”

The awakened Marquises and Counts glared angrily.

Especially Marquises Hippo and the other six Marquises, whose faces turned extremely grim.

They never expected that what seemed like a high chance of capturing Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, would suddenly turn into a situation where Yi Chen easily defeated and captured them.

“I have pledged my loyalty to His Majesty!”

Marquises Moses said somewhat proudly.

“As a Marquises of our Undying Race, you serve the strongest member of humanity! Such self-destruction! You don’t even feel shame but instead take pride in it. You have brought disgrace to the Undying Race!”

Marquises Hippo couldn’t help but scold him.

The other Marquises and Counts also showed disdain.

However, Marquises Moses was unfazed. In his view, being Yi Chen’s slave, having his life and death controlled by him, was indeed something to be proud of.

Only these people did not understand.

He said, “I believe you have only seen the tip of the iceberg of His Majesty’s strength realm. The reason I say this is that His Majesty’s true power has not been fully revealed.”

“…”

The Marquises and Counts fell silent.

They had no rebuttal to this.

Especially the six Marquises, who sensed that Yi Chen had easily defeated and captured them without using his full strength.

“Moreover, about a year ago, there was an incident on the Undying Star where many strong from various tribes were killed. You should have heard of it.”

Marquises Moses proudly continued, “During that time, I was fortunate enough to witness His Majesty’s terrifying power firsthand.”

Wow…

The Marquises and Counts erupted in discussion.

“Are you saying this was done by Yi Chen?”

“How is that possible? The Undying Star is under the protection of the Undying King himself; he would never act with such boldness!”

“Does this mean this strongest member of humanity, even if not at the level of the Undying King, at least has the ability to defend himself in front of him?”

All the Marquises and Counts looked at Marquises Moses in disbelief.

This was indeed a significant event they had heard about.

However, based on rumors, it was likely the work of Duke Bolai or the Soul Clan’s Soul Emperor.

The former certainly aimed to weaken the Undying King, while the latter sought to plunder resources and treasures.

No one expected that the true instigator was Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity.

“And at that time, His Majesty’s level was only a little over level one hundred twenty.”

Marquises Moses added.

“That’s impossible!”

Marquises Hippo instinctively retorted.

All the Marquises and Counts also thought it was out of the question.

How could someone at level one hundred twenty kill many strong opponents on the Undying Planet right under the Undying King’s nose?

Moreover, how could someone increase an entire major realm in just about a year?

“Impossible?”

Marquises Moses sneered, “Even if you haven’t seen it, you should have heard of how many miracles His Majesty has created.”

Suddenly, all the Marquises and Counts fell silent.

Marquises Moses’ words made them realize.

This strongest member of humanity had emerged just over a decade ago and had created countless miracles from nothing.

Defeating strong enemies beyond one’s level was nothing surprising.

Gaining an entire major realm in just about a year also seemed insignificant compared to those miracles.

They suddenly understood why Marquises Moses, even after becoming Yi Chen’s slave, looked so pleased with himself.

Being able to rely on such a powerful existence, aside from abandoning his Undying Race identity, promised an exceptional future.

As a result, in their hearts, there lingered a hint of envy and jealousy.
