Chapter 236 I Avoid His Edge?
Faced with the Nightmare Candle King's questioning, Chen Yuan frowned.
He was not guilty—unlike Luo Feng, he had acted openly and honestly since arriving in the Wulong Star Region and had never done anything underhanded, so he had a clear conscience.
That's why he really couldn't understand why the other party was targeting him.
Logically speaking, he had no connection with King Zhenyan, so King Zhu should not have been hostile towards him.
Is it simply because he works for Virtual Universe Company that the other party hates him because of him?
"The ability to control this assassin is naturally due to my unique secret technique."
Chen Yuan said calmly, "Moreover, I did not enslave this person a second time, but rather isolated his soul and consciousness, and created a second personality within him that possessed all his memories and was under my control."
"Oh? I've lived all these years and never heard of such a secret technique."
A cold glint flashed in the Demon Candle King's eyes: "What's the name of this secret technique? What are its effects? Tell me the truth!"
"This is a secret technique I created myself."
Chen Yuan's brows furrowed more and more. He had already been tolerant enough, but he did not expect the other party to be so aggressive.
"You, a domain lord, dare to presume to claim you've created your own secret techniques?"
The Demon Candle King's eyes were full of doubt, and he chuckled:
"You're not making this up, are you? Secretly enslaving my employees in the Wulong Star Region, trying to extort money from me?"
These words completely severed all pretense of civility. Not only did Chen Yuan's expression change, but the other four leaders also hurriedly tried to dissuade him, saying, "No, no, Demon Candle King, you've gone too far with your words."
"That's right, given Prince Chen Yuan's status, there's no need for him to act in this way."
"Your Highness spent hundreds of millions of Chaos Units just to purchase Zerg host bodies. Is it really necessary to be greedy for such a small amount of resources?"
"Demon King, don't speak recklessly without evidence."
Compared to the Demon Candle King, the four leaders all chose to side with Chen Yuan. Firstly, Chen Yuan's status was noble—the Demon Candle King only had a father who was a Universe Venerable, while Chen Yuan was a direct disciple of the Lord of the Universe. The difference in their status was obvious.
Secondly, Chen Yuan was in the right in this matter. It is a fact that the Wulong Star Region did not suffer any losses. The Demon Candle King's words were malicious slander.
Seeing that his colleagues were not giving him any face, the Demon Candle King's face became even more gloomy: "It's very simple to verify the truth. Chen Yuan, hand over Kosel, whom you have enslaved, so that I can examine his soul memories. Whether it's true or false, I'll know immediately."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan's expression also darkened.
Kosel was connected to the entire alien infiltration network, and he originally planned to hand it over to the company so that he could get credit for clearing out the alien strongholds.
If the Demon Candle King were to review his memories, wouldn't that be like watching his achievements be stolen by the other party? How could he agree to that?
"Lord Candle, you think you can just hand it over like that?"
The other party continued to push their luck, so Chen Yuan stopped tolerating it. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Who do you think you are?"
"What did you say?"
The Demon Candle King seemed surprised that a mere domain lord dared to speak to him like that. After a moment of stunned silence, his face filled with disbelief: "Say that again?!"
"Who do you think you are?" Chen Yuan said calmly. "Are you deaf?"
"You dare to insult me?"
Seeing that Chen Yuanzhen dared to speak so rudely, the Demon Candle King's face immediately turned red: "Insolence!"
Enraged, the Demon Candle King launched a fierce attack, his giant hand, formed from immortal divine power, slashing fiercely at Chen Yuan.
"stop!"
"Lord Candle, stop!"
King Longjue and the others were terrified and rushed forward to stop it. Several strands of immortal divine power intertwined to form a net, barely managing to block the giant divine hand.
Fortunately, the Demon Candle King still retained his rationality and knew that he could not really kill Chen Yuan. He only wanted to teach him a lesson, so he held back some of his strength, which is why he was stopped by the crowd.
"Kid, that was a warning."
The obstruction from his colleagues was within the Demon Candle King's expectations. He looked at Chen Yuan's figure and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Remember, no matter how high your status or how strong your talent, you are just a minor domain lord."
"Remember to always remain humble before those who are granted the title of Immortal King," the Demon Candle King said calmly. "Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time."
"Oh, really?"
Facing that attack just now, Chen Yuan didn't even blink, and now he retorted sarcastically: "Is your arrogant confidence based on the strength of a peak-level King?"
"But without your father, Venerable Fire Eclipse, backing you up, what are you anyway?"
Everyone was surprised that Chen Yuan dared to provoke the Candle King, and their expressions changed slightly. They couldn't understand where Chen Yuan got the courage.
It is true that you have a noble status, but the Demon Candle King was right when he said that you are merely a domain lord.
If you anger the other party, they might attack you in a fit of rage. What will you use to defend yourself?
Several people in charge felt a pang of sorrow, wondering how things had suddenly escalated to this point.
However, they could not stand by and watch Chen Yuan die in the Wulong Starfield, so they all stood in front of the Candle King and tried to dissuade him by sending telepathic messages, fearing that he might kill the prince on the spot in a fit of anger.
"Demon King, calm down."
Don't argue with him.
"The other party is a direct disciple of the Lord of the Universe. If you really kill him, even Venerable Fiery Erosion cannot protect you."
The Demon Candle King felt a surge of rage. He stared intently at Chen Yuan's figure. If it weren't for his colleagues blocking his way, he probably would have already lost control of his urge to attack.
Upon seeing this, Li Shan immediately sent a telepathic message to advise, "Junior Uncle, I've heard that this Demon Candle King is a madman. You don't need to lower yourself to his level. Otherwise, if he really goes berserk, none of us here can stop him."
As a peak-level King-level expert, Demon Candle King is the strongest among the five leaders of the Wulong Starfield, while King Longjue and others have only just reached the King-level.
If a fight really breaks out, King Longjue and his four companions alone will not be able to stop the enemy.
Therefore, out of concern for Chen Yuan's safety, Li Shan secretly advised him to back down for the time being and leave safely first.
At the same time, King Longjue also sent a telepathic message to Chen Yuan: "Your Highness, King Mozhu is eccentric and narrow-minded. You are of noble status, so there is no need to confront him head-on."
"Let's back down for now and avoid his sharp edge. It won't be too late to deal with him when you advance to immortality."
Chen Yuan understood the thoughts of Li Shan and Long Jue Wang, but he had been too low-key in recent years, so much so that the outside world regarded him as an ordinary genius.
It should be noted that on the battlefield outside the domain, he could kill dozens of Marquis-level immortals without batting an eye. He was the famous "Silver Armor Man" in the "Black Mist Clan War".
With his strength and record, would he be afraid of a useless person like the Demon Candle King who rose to power because of his father?
"It seems I still need to show some strength appropriately, otherwise I'll be looked down upon wherever I go."
Actually, this matter was originally very simple. The evidence was clear, and once he handed the assassin over to the company for disposal, the entire chain of evidence would be completed.
However, just because he did not bow to the Demon Candle King, the other party held a grudge against him, feeling that he had not given them face. That's why, after the Longjue King and others had agreed on compensation, the Demon Candle King still obstructed their plans.
The Demon Candle King's goal was simple: to force Chen Yuan to submit and satisfy his ridiculous pride.
But with Chen Yuan's strength, how could things possibly go as he wished? So, under the constant pressure from the Demon Candle King, he had no choice but to confront him head-on.
That's why things have gradually developed to this point.
Chen Yuan finally understood that it was all because, in the eyes of outsiders, his strength was too weak, which was why he did not receive the respect he deserved.
The best approach in this situation is to demonstrate some of our strength.
Chen Yuan then gave a cold laugh: "Me, avoid his sharp edge?"
"Alright, let's see if he, the Demon Candle King, has the ability."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, seemingly not expecting that this prince would have such a strong personality, daring to challenge the peak of the King-level realm as a mere Domain Lord.
"Very well, very well." The Demon Candle King laughed in extreme anger, "You all heard it, it was this brat who kept provoking me."
"If I don't make a move, wouldn't it make me look like I'm afraid of a mere domain lord?"
"This—" King Longjue and the others looked at each other. Both sides had strong personalities and neither was willing to back down.
Now that things have come to this, they don't know what to do.
"Go ahead and do it. I'll take full responsibility for the consequences; it has nothing to do with anyone else," Chen Yuan said calmly. "But there are so many goods here..."
"If a war breaks out, I will not be responsible for the losses caused to the Wulong Star Region."
"Very well, you still have such courage even when death is imminent. I'm starting to admire you." The Demon Candle King sneered, "Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for all the losses here. You don't need to worry about it."
"However, you don't need to worry about it."
Before he finished speaking, the Demon Candle King's immortal divine power surged, condensing into a dazzling finger, which he pressed towards Chen Yuan, seemingly intending to crush him to death on the spot.
The power of this attack caused everyone present to change color, and King Longjue exclaimed, "Demon Candle King, don't—"
This time, however, the Demon Candle King did not stop. His face hardened, and he threw all his concerns to the back of his mind, determined to kill his opponent on the spot.
Such power clearly indicated that he had used his full strength, causing everyone to change color, but no one dared to risk their lives to stand in front of him.
Only Li Shan gritted his teeth, took out his spaceship, and prepared to stand in front of his junior uncle. However, an invisible thought came to him, which made him pause for a moment.
Just as the Candle King's finger was about to strike, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from Chen Yuan's body, and an unparalleled power shot out, like thousands of forces intertwining, colliding fiercely with the divine finger.
boom!
The collision between the two produced a violent explosion, the force of which even surpassed that of a supernova explosion, directly leveling everything within tens of millions of kilometers.
Finished!
Upon seeing this, King Longjue and the others felt a chill run down their spines, while Li Shan's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Junior Uncle!"
However, when the smoke cleared and the light faded, Chen Yuan, dressed in a silver-white battle suit, stood unharmed in the same spot, with a miniature palace floating above his head.
Behind Chen Yuan were countless Zerg warriors, exuding a fierce aura, roughly numbering over 700,000!
"He's not dead?" The Demon Candle King looked somewhat surprised. When he saw what was behind Chen Yuan, his pupils shrank.
"Wait, this is—a Zerg Overlord Warrior?!"
