Lu Ming nodded and directly transferred one million Hunyuan units to the other party's account through the virtual universe network.
Upon seeing this enormous reward, which far exceeded the market price by dozens of times, King Yan Tong was overwhelmed with gratitude and repeatedly expressed his thanks.
The deal was struck, and Lu Ming arrived at the reserved location as provided by the other party.
"Lord Fenkong!"
King Yan Tong, who had been waiting there, quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Lu Ming nodded slightly, without exchanging many pleasantries, and took a step forward.
Teleportation from the Kingdom of God.
Gazing at the entrance to the secret realm in the distance, which exuded a chaotic and ancient aura, Lu Ming's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Shadowdress Realm, here I come."
"I hope my 'friends' here can bring me some fun."
At the entrance to the Shadowy Realm, the space is distorted and uncertain like a broken mirror, exuding a chaotic and ancient aura.
As soon as Lu Ming stepped inside, the surrounding scenery instantly changed.
Upon entering, a surge of cosmic energy, several times more concentrated and refined than that outside, rushed towards them, even faintly forming a thin mist of energy.
Looking out, this secret realm is vast and boundless, with stars twinkling in the distance and nebulae spreading everywhere. The vastness of its internal space is indeed comparable to a complete star field.
"It's a decent burial place."
Lu Ming chuckled, and his divine sense surged out like an invisible tide, instantly covering a range of several light-years.
His goal was clear: to find a fellow alien race with whom he had a "connection," preferably a demon, to catch up and, incidentally, announce his arrival.
The demon race's activities are indeed most frequent on the borders of their territory.
Before long, Lu Ming's divine sense locked onto an area with abnormal energy fluctuations.
"found it."
……
On a massive meteorite landmass floating in the void of the secret realm, a demon lord, "Burning Lizard Venerable," whose body is as large as a mountain, covered in dark red scales, with a lizard-like head and six scarlet compound eyes, is cautiously exploring.
It has been guarding this secret place for a long time, following orders from its clan.
suddenly!
Not far in front of it, the space rippled like water, and a figure wearing dark red armor, with black hair and black eyes, and a lazy smile on his face, appeared out of thin air without warning.
It was Lu Ming!
He hovered there with his arms crossed, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
"Who?!"
The Venerable Burning Lizard was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that his soul trembled. His six compound eyes instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and his massive body subconsciously took a half-step back, stirring up ripples in the surrounding space.
When it saw the face of the newcomer, a chill from the depths of its soul instantly swept over its body, and a voice filled with utter horror escaped its lips.
"It's...it's you! King Burning Sky!!"
"How did you get here?! Shouldn't you be in human territory...?"
Seeing the other person's horrified expression, Lu Ming's smile grew even brighter. He spoke slowly, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.
"What, do I need to report to you just because I came out for a walk?"
He looked the Burning Lizard Venerable up and down, his massive body trembling slightly with extreme tension, and nodded, as if evaluating a product.
"Hmm, judging from your reaction, it's best if you know me. It saves me the trouble of introducing myself."
“Go back and tell your old friends in the demon race that I, Lu Ming… well, I should be called ‘Burning Sky Venerable’ now.”
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I am coming."
"We'll wait for them here in the Shadowy Realm."
"Whatever grudges we have, let's settle them all at once."
As the Burning Lizard Venerable listened to Lu Ming's calm yet murderous words, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and immense fear gripped his mind.
It almost instantly burned its divine power, its massive body transforming into a dark red streak of light, fleeing madly into the depths of the secret realm without a second thought, not daring to utter a single harsh word.
Watching the Burning Lizard Venerable's disheveled escape, Lu Ming did not pursue him, but simply smiled.
"The bait... has already entered the water."
"Next, let's see what big fish we can catch."
He believed it wouldn't be long.
The news that "Venerable Burning Void appeared in Shadow Realm" will sweep through the high-ranking members of various races like a cosmic storm.
And this is exactly the result he wanted.
Chapter 113 Gathering
Almost the instant the Burning Lizard Venerable fled in disarray and relayed the news back to the demon race—
In the demon realm, in a space-time shrouded in endless green flames, stands a majestic, colossal palace forged from unknown black bones.
Inside the palace, a colossal wolf, its body covered in dark scales and larger than a star, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction, lay prostrate on the throne.
Its eyes, burning with a ghastly green flame, seemed to pierce through layers of time and space.
Suddenly, it received the latest intelligence from the front lines of Shaddoll's Lair.
"Hmm? Shadowy Realm... King Burning Sky... no, now I should call him Venerable Burning Sky? He actually dared to leave human territory and appear there?!"
After a brief moment of astonishment came an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy and ferocity!
"Haha! Hahaha!!!"
A terrifying laugh shook the entire space-time continuum, and green flames danced wildly, scorching and distorting the void until it collapsed.
"Burning Sky King! Lu Ming! A peerless genius of humanity, appearing only once in billions of epochs? He killed so many of our race's Venerables!"
The Lord of Sirius's voice boomed like a million thunderbolts, filled with long-suppressed resentment and the excitement of impending revenge.
"If you had stayed hidden in the core territory of humanity, under the wings of those guys like the Chaos City Lord, we might have had to put in some effort! But alas... alas, you came out to die! You dared to step into the Shadowy Realm, a lawless area!"
An intense killing intent flashed in its burning pupils.
"Arrogant and conceited, courting death! Does he really think that possessing the power of a hegemon means he can run rampant without restraint?"
"Since you've come to us of your own accord, then stay there forever! Your treasures, your opportunities, everything you have... will all become resources for the rise of our race!"
"Relay my order!"
The voice of the Lord of Sirius instantly resounded among the many cosmic venerables under his command.
"Locate the coordinates of the Shadowy Realm! Mobilize all available forces nearby! At all costs, surround and kill Venerable Burning Sky!"
"This time, we absolutely cannot afford to fail!"
At the same moment, in the distant Zerg territory, in the magnificent and deadly alluring core of the hive.
A languid yet slightly cold and magnetic female voice softly rang out, echoing in the hall where fragrance and murderous intent intertwined.
"Oh? That little human finally couldn't resist coming out to stir things up? And in Shaddoll's Lair at that... He's certainly picked a good spot."
"Sister, should we..."
Another, slightly shrill voice asked.
"With such a lively atmosphere, how could we be missing?"
A lazy female voice chuckled softly.
"Send a message to the children near the secret realm, and tell them to wait for the right opportunity. Those stupid wolves of the demon race will definitely be at the forefront, and we... will just wait to reap the benefits. If we can seize the relics of that human genius, the Queen Mother will surely be very happy."
In the cold, mechanical realm, countless streams of data surge through the invisible network.
The lights of the Supreme Council flickered, and the cold, absolute logical commands had already been issued:
[Target confirmed: Human race, Lu Ming (Burning Void Venerable).]
Location confirmed: Shaddoll's Domain.
[Execution Plan: Joint Elimination Protocol Initiated. Authorize the mobilization of all combat units surrounding the secret realm, with the highest priority. Coordinate with the demon and insectoid forces, with the ultimate goal of completely destroying the target.]
In contrast to the boiling killing intent of these three top races, the reaction of the higher-ups of the Northern Frontier Alliance, who also received the news, was much calmer.
An ancient being with countless tentacles slowly opened its eyes, its divine sense sweeping over the information before slowly closing them again, leaving only a single thought transmitting among the alliance's higher-ups.
"It's that human guy named Lu Ming... He's still young and impetuous, and can't stand being alone."
"The three top races hate him to the bone. Now that he has taken the initiative to show himself, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They will definitely lay a trap."
"We need not join in this commotion. Wouldn't it be better to sit back and watch the tigers fight? If the three parties suffer losses as a result, it would be a good thing for our Northern Frontier Alliance."
"Pass down the order: all members of our alliance in Shaddoll should exercise caution and stay away from trouble in the near future. We will not wade into these muddy waters."
In an instant, Lu Ming's proactive appearance caused a stir among the four top powers in the universe!
The three major races were filled with murderous intent, sharpening their knives, and an invisible but deadly net began to be quietly cast towards the Shadowdark Realm.
Deep within the Shadow Realm, Lu Ming remained leisurely suspended in the void, even having somehow acquired a floating meteorite, which he lazily leaned against, as if admiring the bizarre and wondrous starry scenery of the realm.
However, in his powerful divine perception, the originally relatively calm secret realm was now like a lake with a boulder thrown in, with turbulent undercurrents!
Powerful auras were pouring in from every corner of the secret realm, even from the entrance, and rapidly converging on the area where he was!
The owners of these auras mostly exude the ferocity unique to the demon race, the sinister and eerie nature unique to the insect race, and the icy and deathly stillness unique to the mechanical race!
"The efficiency is quite high."
Lu Ming's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
"It seems that the bounty and hatred directed at me are stronger than I imagined."

In another twisted nebula belt within the secret realm.
