Isaac's Venom

Just a few hours later, Li Che saw the true forms of the two immortal gods, Rong Bing and Qi Yao, again in an exceptionally magnificent palace deep within the Rong Bing Holy Land.

At this moment, the two veteran immortal military lords are sitting on their high thrones, watching a huge virtual screen together.

Upon noticing Li Che's arrival, the two immortals did not show any surprise. They simply pointed to the third throne in the hall, which stood beside them, and invited Li Che to join them.

Li Che didn't stand on ceremony. He took a few steps and arrived at the throne that exuded a strong earth elemental power.

Then he looked at the virtual screen in front of the two immortal gods.

The information displayed on the screen is a rough outline of another powerful figure.

The immortal deity Yu Chenhou, a mentalist master at a near-high-level marquis level, was originally born in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. A lone wolf, he had long resided in the tenth battlefield outside the domain, fighting against the Zerg Alliance and the Mechanical Alliance.

Approximately twelve epochs ago, the immortal god squad to which Marquis Yu Chen belonged clashed with the immortal insectoid queen "Wan" on an extraterrestrial battlefield. Of the five immortal gods in Marquis Yu Chen's squad, three died, one was enslaved by the insectoid queen's soul, and only Marquis Yu Chen managed to escape, but he was also severely wounded in the soul and was quickly pronounced dead...

"This is... the owner of the immortal divine legacy of the Marquis level that you found?"

After analyzing the information briefly, Li Che guessed the identity of this Marquis Yu Chen.

Lord Rongbing nodded slightly:

"This is the information we obtained from that intelligent life form. It confirms that the F-class spaceship ruins located in the K-13 binary star system belong to that Marquis Yu Chen."

Li Che wasn't particularly surprised; in fact, he was somewhat impressed: "To be able to escape from the Zerg Queen, that's quite an achievement."

As a top race that is in no way inferior to humans, the ruling queens of the Zerg, although far fewer in number than humans, each possesses unparalleled potential.

Generally speaking, each immortal-level Zerg queen has a large number of world lord-level or even immortal-level Zerg warriors under her command. She herself is also very skilled in illusion and charm techniques, and is extremely outstanding in terms of soul.

The chances of a mere squad of Marquis-level deities surviving being targeted by the Immortal Zerg Queen are extremely low.

"He was an immortal who was skilled in the fundamental laws of light and time. Before his death, he handed over his entire legacy to intelligent life, requiring that the successor must be a celestial or cosmic-level mentalist who had crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of light and time, and could only fully inherit his legacy after learning his self-created secret techniques."

Looking at the information about Marquis Yu Chen, Commander Qi Yao sighed with a hint of envy, his voice carrying a touch of resentment.

As an immortal deity who shares the same fundamental laws of light, she naturally longed for a free secret method to attain the rank of Marquis for reference.

Unfortunately, the standards set by Marquis Yu Chen were far too high. It was extremely difficult to find examples of people at the Eternal Star or Universe level who had mastered the fundamental laws of the higher realms within the universe.

"If we can win this inheritance, we will sell that intelligent life form to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. They have no shortage of talent and will soon find a strong enough person to inherit its legacy."

Lord Rongbing added,

"Let the secret technique that Marquis Yu Chen is so proud of be passed down in the universe. That intelligent life form is also very willing to accept the result of joining the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance."

There's really nothing we can do about it.

She knew very well that if the assets left by Marquis Yu Chen to his successor were 1000 million Hunyuan units, then the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance would be lucky to offer 600 million Hunyuan units.

But what if they were to find a genius with cosmic-level mastery of the fundamental laws of light and time, sign a distribution contract with that person, and then wait for that genius to grow up...?

The time, energy, and uncontrollable factors involved are far too numerous.

Li Che expressed his understanding and continued to ask, "So, what follows is a battle between us and that Kingdom of Gourd Wind, with the winner obtaining that inheritance?"

Lord Rongbing nodded and said, "Yes, we have completed the signing. The battle will take place in a year. The victor will receive 90% of the proceeds from the sale of that inheritance, and the loser will receive 10%."

Even though the two great empires of Rongbing and Hufeng had no intention of peacefully sharing this profit, they tacitly blocked the news and prevented the information about Marquis Yuchen's inheritance from leaking out.

After all, if information about treasures of this caliber were released, the Rongbing and Hufeng branches of the five major powers would be restless, and all sides would come together to fight and distribute them, which would lead to many unpredictable situations.

"You guys are quite well-behaved."

After listening to Rong Bing's description, Li Che sighed. The legacy of a Marquis-level immortal god—even if this thing were placed on the outskirts of the extraterrestrial battlefield, it would cause a fight among a group of immortal military lords.

"This is, after all, a universe within a country, and rules must be followed. Although the Calabash God Lord is greedy, he's not stupid."

Qi Yao, the military commander, looked at Li Che, his expression becoming slightly serious.

"It is now confirmed that Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star, will send his Iron Sword Marquis to compete for that inheritance."

"You are a powerful ally on our side. Your normal combat strength is at the initial level of a Marquis, and your understanding of laws and secret techniques far surpasses the two of us. We must rely on your strength this time."

"But in the end, you are just a realm lord. What you lack is not only immortality, but also the signature explosive method of an immortal god—divine power burning."

Upon hearing this, Li Che's expression also became slightly serious.

He must admit this.

The method of burning divine power is a powerful combat technique mastered by any immortal god. It involves burning divine power to achieve a high-multiplier burst of power. The cost is not small, but the amplification is enormous.

In the past, Li Che had witnessed the methods of burning divine power when fighting those immortal military lords.

Even an immortal with only five or six hundred times the power of a peak realm lord and mediocre understanding of secret techniques and laws, could suppress Li Che the moment his divine power erupted after burning 5% of his divine power at once.

In the past, when Li Che faced immortal military lords who did not have immortal bodies burning their divine power, he would try to dodge if he could, and if he couldn't dodge, he would choose to fight head-on. Even if it meant being seriously injured as a world lord, he would try to deplete those guys' divine power to the point of dormancy as quickly as possible.

However, Li Che's plan was not very effective against immortals at the Marquis level.

On one hand, the divine power and physical strength of the Marquis-level Immortal Gods are stronger than those of the Immortal Army Lords. Their basic strength is at least 1000 times that of the peak World Lords, and their efficiency and amplification in burning divine power are enormous.

On the other hand, the immortal gods at the Marquis level generally possess immortality, making it difficult for Li Che to efficiently annihilate their divine power through brute force.

"In response, Rong Bing and I pooled our money and exchanged it for a bottle of Divine Venom in the Extraterritorial Battlefield Military Merit System to support your battle against that Iron Sword Marquis."

As Qi Yaojun spoke, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and a metal bottle the size of a palm immediately appeared, which he casually tossed to Li Che.

"Snapped!"

Li Che took the exquisitely crafted metal bottle, which was decorated with a strange symbol, and shook it gently, making a faint sound of water inside.

"Specially supplied to the Fourth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the divine power suppressant toxin 'Isaac's Venom'. According to reliable experimental results, 30-50 grams of Isaac's Venom is enough to cause severe 'divine power dormancy' symptoms in a low-level Marquis-level immortal god, greatly suppressing their explosive power."

Li Che nodded slightly at what Qi Yaojun said.

Divine Power Venom is a type of venom invented by apothecaries to target immortal gods. This stuff poses no threat to flesh, rock, or energy-based life forms; it only targets immortal divine power.

For venom like this, both the upper and lower limits are extremely outrageous.

The most prestigious and famous of them all is the Fimo Venom, named after the human alchemist "Fimo". It is said that just 10 grams of that stuff can obliterate the divine body of a King-level Immortal God.

The Isaac venom in Li Che's possession is only a lower-level version of Femo venom; 30-50 grams are needed to effectively suppress the divine body of a low-level Marquis-level immortal god.

But Ritchie still carefully collected the venom.

This amount of venom is certainly enough, at least for the upcoming battle.
