438: Leon, who knows how to adapt to the times

Upon hearing these words, Leven's eyes shifted slightly, but he remained silent, not speaking.

Xun Xiuyuan was completely indifferent to this and continued coldly, "If I recall correctly, you were the person in charge of the Silver Sea Universe that time, right? And when the Silver Sea Secret Realm first appeared, our Sect Master, True Person Yuan Ling, personally led many Disciples to participate, but you Silver Sea Universe used Nuke to hold back our Sect Master, and it was you who personally led the experts of the Silver Sea Universe to slaughter our Yuan Ling Universe Disciples."

Leven's gaze finally refocused, and he spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying a trace of exhaustion and anger, "Even if that is the case, that is enough. You have slaughtered over a hundred million Silver Sea warriors this time, over a hundred million lives! Are you even human?"

Xun Xiuyuan just smiled disdainfully and responded calmly, "To me, they are just enemies."

It was indeed over a hundred million. The "Dream of a Thousand Years" unleashed by Xun Xiuyuan in this massive war was simply like an efficient harvesting machine, ruthlessly sweeping across the battlefield.

The only people who could barely resist Xun Xiuyuan's powerful Soul attack were a few dozen Saint King Realm experts who had reached the six-system level.

However, even these powerful Saint Kings appeared vulnerable before Xun Xiuyuan; he treated them like fruits and vegetables, easily defeating and killing them one by one with a Ling Li blade light.

In this war, without super experts to hold the line, no matter how many warriors were committed, no matter how vast the sea of people, it was meaningless to Xun Xiuyuan and could not pose a substantial threat.

Although Xun Xiuyuan had achieved a staggering number of kills in this battle, he was still a small portion of exotic beast value away from truly advancing to the Saint King Realm; although it was only a little, it had not yet been achieved.

Xun Xiuyuan deeply desired to break through and advance, but he was unwilling to enter the Silver Sea Universe for indiscriminate slaughter, because this was an unwritten rule in the entire Cosmic Battlefield.

Although many people did not abide by this rule, Xun Xiuyuan was unwilling to break it himself.

Deep in his heart, he always harbored a worry, fearing that if he acted recklessly, one day the Yuan Ling Universe would face the same fate and suffer ruthless slaughter by others.

Xun Xiuyuan calmly took out a pure white sound transmission jade from his storage ring. With a slight movement of spiritual light from his fingertip, a message containing a special fluctuation shot through the air.

Leven, standing opposite him, saw his pupils constrict sharply. He could not understand why this powerful enemy, while occupying an absolute advantage, chose to send a message instead of taking his life.

Various speculations surged in his mind, but he could not find a reasonable explanation.

However, this puzzle did not trouble him for long.

In just a moment, a familiar aura approached from afar. When he saw the face of the newcomer, Leven could not help but gasp—this was actually his biological brother, the bandit group leader Lai Wu.

At this moment, Lai Wu's face was full of suspicion. He had been half-doubting when he first received Xun Xiuyuan's message, but only until he personally rushed back to the base of the Silver Sea Universe and witnessed the devastated state of this Star Domain with his own eyes did he finally believe the message was true.

Just as Lai Wu had not yet sorted out his thoughts, Xun Xiuyuan just raised his hand casually.

The next moment, under Lai Wu's furious gaze, Leven's figure slowly dissipated like ethereal smoke, eventually completely annihilated in the Void Realm.

Lai Wu's face turned livid instantly, his fists clenched tight, but he dared not act rashly.

Although he had long betrayed the Yuan Ling Universe, he was still an important member of the Silver Sea Universe, and he knew how terrifying the man before him was.

Xun Xiuyuan had no intention of explaining, just speaking coldly, "The various schemes of the Silver Sea Universe against the Yuan Ling Universe over these years end here today. I specifically summoned you back; you must know the meaning of this."

Lai Wu's teeth chattered, and he really couldn't understand why, since he had been specifically summoned, he would kill his brother right in front of him.

"I will completely destroy all external Teleportation Arrays of the Silver Sea Universe, including those hidden deep in the Void Realm," Xun Xiuyuan's voice carried no emotion, "And your only choice is to submit."

In Xun Xiuyuan's view, a person who could betray their homeland was nothing more than an extreme egoist or an arrogant person. But in any case, such people were often the most protective of their lives, and it was precisely this attachment to life that made them easiest to control.

As long as enough deterrence was provided, they could be made to submit obediently.

Seeing Lai Wu remain silent for a long time, Xun Xiuyuan added nonchalantly, "If you are unwilling to accept, I can choose someone else."

Just as Lai Wu was about to argue, a respectful voice suddenly came from behind him: "Master, this subordinate is willing to guard the Silver Sea Universe for you."

This sudden statement made Xun Xiuyuan slightly stunned. He noticed the shrewd light flashing in the eyes of the person who spoke—although there was no stance to speak of, he was indeed a smart person who knew how to assess the situation.

"Very well, that will be you." Before Xun Xiuyuan's words fell, a Ling Li blade light had already flashed, and Lai Wu was beheaded before he could even react.

The one who actively surrendered immediately knelt on one knee: "Subordinate Leon, willing to serve you, Master."

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Xun Xiuyuan's mouth. After casually casting a Soul Control Technique, he turned and stepped into the Void Realm.

Thus, the two main neighbors hovering around the Yuan Ling Universe had all been dealt with by the Yuan Ling Universe, completely losing the power to resist and no longer posing any worries.

Not only that, even the Phantom Poison Universe and the Silver Sea Universe, these two forces that originally still had the possibility of maintaining contact with the outside world through space channels, had their external Teleportation Arrays completely destroyed by the Yuan Ling Universe, cutting off all possible aid and connections.

Most importantly, for others who wanted to come here, there was only one path: Void Realm teleportation.

At this time, even if the nearest Universe traveled at full speed in the Void Realm, it would take several months at the fastest to reach the Yuan Ling Universe.

In this way, the Yuan Ling Universe had gained extremely valuable and sufficient preparation time to welcome any challenges that might come.

Although the currently accumulated exotic beast value was not enough for Xun Xiuyuan to directly advance to the Saint King Realm, it was gratifying that through over a hundred million successful slaughters, he had accumulated a considerable number of lottery opportunities, with a total count approaching nearly one hundred thousand.

Judging from previous lottery probabilities and experience, this large number of lottery attempts should be enough to collect twenty fragments of the cosmic core.

Once these fragments were successfully collected, Xun Xiuyuan would be able to successfully promote to a true Eight-System Saint King, and his strength would gain a qualitative leap.
