Chapter 2006: Chapter 2006: Duanmu Is Killed

Upon entering the Great Hall, Duanmu Supreme saw a black silhouette seated atop the throne. An ominous aura intermittently emanated from its entire body.

Duanmu Supreme bowed his head, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure—it was overwhelmingly powerful.

”Lord Jiao Jian, Duanmu is here,” Gong Ding said, bowing in greeting.

This life from the All Things Realm was named Jiao Jian. He had entered this universe not long ago, not among the first batch.

”Greetings, Lord,” Duanmu also bowed in greeting.

Beside Jiao Jian were several others, all strong figures inside this secret realm, each at the Heavenly Venerate Level. These Heavenly Venerates knelt on the ground, recognizing Duanmu but dared not greet him.

Just yesterday, one of the Heavenly Venerates had been killed directly for slightly displeasing the outsider lord, with the body hung on a pillar in the outer square.

”Hmm!” Jiao Jian nodded, eyes half-closed, surveying Duanmu.

”Interesting. A plant lifeform? Hehe, plant lifeforms are rather rare In Chaos. In this seed universe, for a plant lifeform to possess your power is truly remarkable,” Jiao Jian said, smiling slowly.

Duanmu Supreme was an Initial Creature of the universe, born at the Supreme Level. Through countless years of cultivation, he had slightly improved his strength but had yet to reach the Four-step Dao Method Realm.

”You overpraise me, Lord!” Duanmu Supreme quickly replied.

”Say, what brings you here?” Jiao Jian waved his hand and asked.

”Lord, then I’ll speak frankly! In our universe, there have been long stretches of calm. However, recently, powerful outsiders have disturbed this calm. Our Sky Creation City Alliance’s Councilman wishes to meet the managing outsider lord, have some discussions, and see if we can provide assistance.” Duanmu Supreme said.

His words were tactfully spoken.

Implicitly, he wished to inquire about the outsiders’ intentions. If there was a purpose, perhaps the Sky Creation City Alliance and Councilman Jing Yun could help.

”Sky Creation City Alliance? I’m aware it’s the strongest faction in this universe, controlling most of it. I’ve heard of your Councilman; he wishes to converse with me, and I consider this possible. Hmm, where is he?” Jiao Jian asked.

”Lord, our Councilman awaits Your Eminence at the Sky Creation City Alliance headquarters!” Duanmu said.

”Hehe...”

”You mean for me to go and see him? Young Duanmu, are you joking?” Jiao Jian sneered with a cutting gaze.

”Lord...” Duanmu’s body trembled, trying to explain.

”Silence!”

”Mere natives, wishing for me to proactively meet them? Who do you think you are? You young one, have you come here to disgrace me today? Do you realize, even in the Endless Chaos, few dare speak to me impolitely?” Jiao Jian’s aura slightly condensed, faint intent to kill visible in his eyes.

Duanmu Supreme felt a sinking in his heart.

He was somewhat unsure, having not been disrespectful. Earlier, the sight of the bodies outside indeed made him uncomfortable, but meeting Jiao Jian, he showed no anger. He merely hoped this called Jiao Jian to meet with Councilman Jing Yun at Sky Creation City; could such an invitation upset this lord?

”Lord, you misunderstand, I didn’t...” Duanmu felt the killing intention.

”Didn’t what? Hmph, truly deserving to die. A group of natives daring to speak disrespectfully? Seems I’ve been too merciful lately. My generosity didn’t bring your respect but made you view me as weak! Since so, don’t blame my unkindness!” Jiao Jian sneered coldly.

Duanmu’s sense of crisis suddenly intensified.

He hadn’t foreseen matters turning this way. This powerful being named Jiao Jian was very difficult to reason with.

”Lord, I’ll take my leave now, to inform the Councilman of this matter and see if he will personally come to meet you!” Duanmu wished to leave.

”Haha, do you think my place is somewhere easily entered and exited? Young one, today, you may not escape!” Jiao Jian stood abruptly, the killing intent growing strong.

”Lord, what are you intending? I am a Guest Elder of the Sky Creation City Alliance, our Councilman Jing Yun, is the son of Lord Jing Yan!” Duanmu sensed the other intended harm.

He had discerned from Gong Ding’s tone, Jing Yan held great renown In Chaos and instinctively mentioned Jing Yan.

”Palace Master Jing Yan?”

”Damn, you insolent young one, daring to wield Palace Master Jing Yan against me? Let me tell you, Palace Master Jing Yan is indeed powerful in Chaos, leading the strongest faction, the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. But even so, Palace Master Jing Yan cannot impact all creatures of Chaos! Today, I will personally kill this disrespectful being!” Jiao Jian barked loudly.

”Die!” Jiao Jian attacked abruptly.

Duanmu, in the universe, is a top-tier strong figure. Yet, faced with a being of the All Things Realm, Duanmu had no power to resist. Not just against Jiao Jian, even Gong Ding was beyond Duanmu’s ability to oppose.

As Jiao Jian struck suddenly, Duanmu could retreat only a few steps before being surrounded by fearsome power.

”No!” Duanmu shouted.

”Pfft!” Immediately following, Duanmu’s gaze dimmed, vitality fading.

After killing Duanmu, Jiao Jian sneered coldly once more.

”Plant lifeform, excellent! The essence of a Taoist Realm plant lifeform is precious In Chaos as well. Haha, not bad!” Jiao Jian’s fingers curled, and from Duanmu Supreme’s body, a sphere of green luminescence emerged and swiftly floated above Jiao Jian’s palm.

This was Duanmu Supreme’s innate plant essence, unique to plant lifeforms.

In fact, Jiao Jian’s decision to kill Duanmu Supreme wasn’t due to disrespect but rather his intent to kill had been present since seeing Duanmu. A Taoist Realm plant lifeform’s essence was among the most prized resources In the Seed Universe, containing parts of the Primordial Chaos Tree’s life essence.

”Lord, this... this Duanmu seemed acquainted with Palace Master Jing Yan. He just mentioned the Sky Creation City Alliance Councilman as Palace Master Jing Yan’s son. With Duanmu’s death here, might there be some trouble?” Gong Ding stuttered.
