King of Creation-Chapter 775 - 765: This Isn’t a Dream?

Thanks to the strict defense layer upon layer of the Ten Thousand Stars Tower, and the fact that the Establishment King Qing Qi probably never thought he would die, or that he would be killed by a Martial Artist at the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, he didn’t send out any warning talisman during the fight.

By the time he wanted to send it, it was already too late.

So, until Ye Zhen secretly slipped out of the treasure vault of the Stars Tower, not a single person in the tower realized that something major had happened in the treasure vault.

Of course, this was related to how short the time Ye Zhen used for the heist was. From beginning to end, from entering the vault passage to finishing the battle with the Establishment King Qing Qi and then emptying the treasure vault, it didn’t even take half a quarter-hour.

After robbing the treasure vault of the Stars Tower, Ye Zhen’s plan for today was not yet complete; it was only halfway done.

Moreover, the remaining half of the plan was extremely important; if it wasn’t completed, apart from causing significant losses to the Stars Tower, it wouldn’t help Ye Zhen with his current crisis at all.

The remaining half of Ye Zhen’s plan was actually very simple: to assassinate the frequently appearing Establishment King, Tributor Du, of the Stars Tower!

Only when the Stars Tower was leaderless would there be a great chaos, which might even stir up the entire Qinglan Martial City.

Otherwise, even if the Tower Master Yan Cong was killed and the treasure vault robbed, with the presence of that Establishment King to stabilize the situation, the Stars Tower would quickly regain its footing.

With Divine Sense sinking into the Mirage Dragon Pearl and the Shadowless Mountain Penetrating Beast Essence Soul Pearl within it, Ye Zhen swiftly fled while suddenly the light around him paused. Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense attached to the Earth Spiritual Power slowly dispersed outward, and in the Divine Sense, an old man was seen sitting cross-legged—Tributor Du.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi condensed into tangible forms, weaving in and out of Tributor Du’s body, clearly showing he was cultivating.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed sharply; a Martial Artist in cultivation was extremely vigilant.

However, if he didn’t act now, the fact that the treasure vault was robbed would soon be exposed, making it difficult to assassinate an Establishment King later.

Holding several Heavenly Level Defense Talismans in his hand that he just got from Yan Cong, Ye Zhen was still shaken by the terrifying counterattack from Qing Qi in the treasure vault.

Cautiously, he stealthily moved to ten meters below where Tributor Du was sitting, and Ye Zhen began contemplating the most suitable attack plan.

After pondering for a few breaths, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth; then he restrained his aura and extremely slowly approached the ground.

When he was within three to four meters, Ye Zhen’s expression was already tense to the extreme.

Suddenly, with a shift of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen’s body, which was slowly moving, accelerated at an extreme speed, bursting out from underground directly into the Silent Chamber where Tributor Du was cultivating.

The distance was very short, and the speed was exceedingly fast. Almost at the moment of thought, Ye Zhen’s upper half had emerged from the ground; within that instant, Ye Zhen fiercely shook the Soul Capturing Jade Skull in his hand!

At the very moment Ye Zhen emerged from the ground, the abnormal Spiritual Power wave immediately alerted the cultivating Tributor Du, who abruptly opened his eyes.

Jingle jingle jingle!

The demon sound, which seemed to tug at his very soul, penetrated his mind, startling Tributor Du, who had just opened his eyes and hadn’t had a chance to react. He was in a cultivation state and had set up layers of defenses outside the room; his Divine Soul was in its most relaxed state.

This sudden Soul Capturing Demon Sound caused his Innate Divine Soul to jitter violently, giving his head a moment of dizziness—not quite dizziness, more like a impact, as if his head was struck by an iron hammer.

If it were a typical Vein Forging Martial Artist, a surprise attack by the Soul Capturing Jade Skull during cultivation would see their Innate Divine Soul almost certainly ripped out directly by the skull, resulting in complete soul annihilation; even if they survived, they’d be left on the brink of death.

However, Establishment Kings are different. The Innate Divine Soul of an Establishment King is protected by the Innate Soul Light, so even though the Soul Capturing Jade Skull struck first, it didn’t cause obvious damage to Tributor Du’s Innate Divine Soul, only a mere jolt.

Yet even so, this brief jolt slowed Tributor Du’s reaction by half a beat. More critically, the jolting of the Innate Divine Soul left Tributor Du in panic, instinctively thinking a Heart Demon was attacking, with his first reaction being to stabilize his Innate Divine Soul!

And then, there was no "and then!"

Because at the moment when the Soul Capturing Jade Skull was shaken by Ye Zhen, a white light simultaneously shot out from Ye Zhen’s shoulder.

This white light was none other than the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, whose cultivation was infinitely close to a Mid-Grade Spirit Tier.

What followed next was quite simple.

Under the vibration of the Soul Capturing Jade Skull, Tributor Du, the Establishment King, found his head intimately interacting with the claws of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, completely defenseless.

The sensation was as though hitting an egg with a sledgehammer.

With a soft pop, before Tributor Du even realized what had happened, his head exploded, white and red splattering into a large mass, a mass of Three-Colored Spiritual Light protecting Tributor Du’s Innate Divine Soul flying out.

This was when Tributor Du’s Innate Soul Light saw both Ye Zhen standing in his room and the formidable Cloud Winged Tiger King beside his corpse, revealing an expression of utter terror.

The Three-Colored Spirit Light moved, enveloping the Innate Divine Soul as it wobbled away; compared to Gan Rusong’s Innate Soul Light, Du’s was at least three times more powerful, and his flying speed was nearly three times faster.

However, compared to the flight speed of a normal Martial Artist, it was still much slower.

How could Ye Zhen possibly allow the escape of Tributor Du’s Innate Soul Light?

His figure shot out like an arrow, gray airflow was released from Ye Zhen’s five fingers, instantly capturing Du’s Innate Soul Light, and directly throwing it into the storage ring.

"Haha, assassinating an Establishment King so effortlessly, it’s simply too easy!"

With a hearty laugh, Ye Zhen then swiftly pulled off Tributor Du’s storage ring, not bothering to look at it, he strung it on a long piece of Heavenly Silkworm Silk around his neck.

During the day, having sold over twenty various storage rings to the Stars Tower, Ye Zhen now had over ten storage rings hanging on his chest.

In the next instant, Ye Zhen’s figure sank; like a fish entering water, he once again merged into the ground, beginning to travel underground within the Stars Tower.

Since I’m already involved, I might as well make it even more chaotic, ensuring the Stars Tower falls into complete disarray.

In just under half a quarter-hour, Ye Zhen scurried around underground, resulting in the demise of six deacons whom Ye Zhen knew to be in charge of the Stars Tower.

This included four deacons at the Vein Forging Realm and two at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm. Compared to assassinating an Establishment King, killing these people was much easier; whether using the Soul Capturing Jade Skull or the Thousand Vine, both could make them die silently.

The last to be killed was Deacon Ding, who had transacted with Ye Zhen during the day.

Actually, Ye Zhen hesitated a bit before acting, as these people held no irreconcilable hatred with him, yet he still shook the Soul Capturing Jade Skull.

After all, they were senior members of the True Spirit Domain’s Stars Tower; if they didn’t die, it might be Ye Zhen who would, perhaps bringing an unbearable calamity upon himself.

Having experienced so many bloody storms in the Jianghu, Ye Zhen was no longer the hot-blooded youth who had just debuted.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Almost at the moment Ye Zhen crushed Deacon Ding’s skull, the piercing alarm bell resounded through the entire Stars Tower.

According to the night patrol regulations of the Stars Tower, even though the Treasure Vault had its own independent defense system, the patrolling martial artists on the surface would inspect the entrance to the Treasure Vault once every quarter-hour. These patrols were the only martial artists in the Stars Tower with permission to approach the Treasure Vault.

Besides these people and a few senior members within the tower, anyone daring to approach unauthorized would be killed without mercy!

The guards within the Treasure Vault were the most elite martial artists of the Stars Tower.

As the chilling alarm bell rang, the entire Stars Tower was like an awakened fierce beast, with lights igniting swiftly like a fire dragon, illuminating the whole tower.

Figures darted out from the various Refined Houses within the Stars Tower, converging into a stream of people, quickly gathering towards the direction of the Treasure Vault, with some part of the flow flying directly into the sky, beginning to block off the aerial space above the Stars Tower.

This indicated that the management of the Stars Tower was extremely tight, with rehearsals even for such scenarios where the Treasure Vault was robbed.

Additionally, some martial artists directly dashed towards the rooms of the Tower Master, Tributor Du, and several senior members for further confirmation and notification.

Because these people, for safety reasons, would deploy Guardian Talisman Scripts during cultivation, sometimes not necessarily hearing outside noises unless warned by a Talisman Communication.

However, when these people rushed into the courtyards of many senior members of the Stars Tower, banging on the doors with no response, they boldly broke the light of the Guardian Talisman and burst into the rooms.

As they rushed into the courtyards, the wailing began anew.

"Tower Master?!"

"Quick, someone come, the Tower Master has been killed, someone hurry!"

"Someone, someone, Tributor Du... Tributor Du has actually... actually been killed..." the martial artist who rushed into Tributor Du’s courtyard was shivering.

With the wailing echoing, the Lou Practitioners of the Stars Tower, who had just gathered near the entrance of the Treasure Vault, suddenly felt dizzy. What, the Tower Master was assassinated?

Even Tributor Du, an Establishment King, was killed; how powerful must the intruder be?

"Something terrible, Steward Ma is dead, heavens, Steward Ma..."

"Steward Qian, hurry, Steward Qian is in trouble!"

.....

"Deacon Ding, Deacon Ding was also killed, quick, quickly notify the Tower Master..." novelbuddy.cσ๓

The exclamations, rising and falling, were like waves of muffled thunder, fiercely pounding the heads of the Stars Tower martial artists.

The Tower Master, Tributor Du, Steward Ma, Steward Qian... Deacon Ding... all dead?

Some people touched their foreheads, then brutally slapped the inside of their thighs. This isn’t a dream, right?

Ow!

Crying out in pain, countless martial artists of the Stars Tower turned as pale as paper!

This isn’t a dream!

They’re all dead!

In an instant, the entire Stars Tower burst into chaos, and the martial artists found themselves utterly bewildered and in an uproar!

Already having fled far and hidden in the clouds from a distance, witnessing this scene, Ye Zhen’s lips curled in a harsh smile, "Heh heh, all this effort, and it’s done!"

With a thought, he flicked his hand, and a light of the talisman flew towards the direction of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect! (To be continued.
