133: Kill first and talk later

At this moment, a civil official stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Secret Realms are divided into seven types, with the Titan Secret Realm being the most difficult and the Insectoid Secret Realm the simplest!"

The civil official merely explained the process and had no other thoughts.

But the Galactic Grand Duke was different.

Within a few short seconds, his thoughts underwent a fierce debate.

He projected Mental Energy towards the civil official.

The civil official quickly received the information.

"I ask you, can the Secret Realm on the last floor of the Trial Tower be forcibly changed?"

This civil official was a very intelligent man and immediately understood the Grand Duke's meaning.

Forcibly changing the Secret Realm meant either secretly helping someone or secretly killing someone!

He quickly connected it to Li Zhantian, and then to Lin Wu.

These two together posed a very great threat to the Galaxy King!

"Your meaning is?"

"Lin Wu is a threat; you handle it."

This was not a hint; it was practically an explicit instruction!

The Grand Duke thought for a moment, fearing he hadn't been clear enough, and projected another wave of Mental Energy:

"Lin Wu has Awakened an unknown Sacred Body; although not yet confirmed, it's highly probable. Do you know what the Flame Dragon Emperor said? He said that those with a Sacred Body are destined to become Universe Emperors in the future!"

"If he becomes a Universe Emperor, he will certainly covet my King's property!"

"Our Milky Way Galaxy is one of the most fertile parts of the Flame Dragon Empire!"

The civil official listened, a few drops of cold sweat running down his forehead.

The King's property was extremely valuable.

"I understand!"

"I'll just assign him the most difficult Secret Realm randomly!"

The civil official was not foolish; he knew what his superior meant.

The Grand Duke shook his head.

"Not only the most difficult Titan Secret Realm, but also increase his clearance requirements!"

"Raise them so high that he has no possibility of clearing it, so high that it takes him an extremely long time!"

"So high that other contestants have already Broken Through the ninety-ninth floor, while he is still caught in a fierce battle. It would be best if he accidentally gets killed by a Star Beast!"

Fierceness gleamed in the Grand Duke's eyes; when doing something, it must be done thoroughly!

The civil official naturally dared not resist and knew the stakes involved, so he quickly agreed via Mental Energy.

So the Grand Duke then transmitted this message to the Galaxy King.

"My worthy brother did well!"

"Before, I thought you did well by overstepping your authority to bestow honors upon him. Now I see you were completely wrong; this fellow is too terrifying!"

"Brother, I will atone for my mistakes with meritorious service and will never disappoint your expectations!"

"It's alright, you are my brother, and in the future, the succession will pass from brother to brother."

Hearing this promise, the Grand Duke quickly nodded.

How could one hand over one's own possessions to others?

...Inside the Trial Tower.

A light screen appeared before Lin Wu's eyes.

[This Trial Tower's final floor has a total of seven Secret Realms, with difficulty ranging from low to high, including: Insectoid Secret Realm, Swamp Secret Realm, Lava Secret Realm, Plague Secret Realm...]

[The most difficult is the Titan Secret Realm, where a massive number of Titan Giants are stationed. Although their Bloodline is not pure, they have all reached above the Star Domain Realm, with the strongest reaching the Star Realm!]

[Not only that, there are also some Star Beasts mixed with Titan Bloodline!]

"Titan Giants aren't considered Star Beasts? It seems they are also an intelligent race similar to humans!"

"They possess stronger Cultivation Techniques and a Cultivation system than Star Beasts!"

"It's a pity it's a random Secret Realm; otherwise, I would definitely challenge the Titans. Their entries must be very powerful!"

Lin Wu felt a slight anticipation.

But since it was random, it meant there was a great deal of uncertainty.

Soon.

The light screen before him rapidly changed.

[Randomizing...]

The names of the seven Realms scrolled continuously, finally stopping slowly on the Plague Secret Realm.

"Is this the Plague Secret Realm? Although it's the fourth difficulty, it's still not bad."

What Lin Wu most wanted to go to was still the Titan Secret Realm.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

However... the Plague Secret Realm suddenly changed!

It directly became the Titan Secret Realm!

"Good!"

Lin Wu was very excited.

A spatialcrack opened before him, clearly leading to the Titan Secret Realm... Outside the Trial Tower.

Everyone saw this change!

The trait that was supposed to stop at the Plague Secret Realm directly jumped to the Titan Secret Realm!

For those who were not very strong, they naturally couldn't perceive the change within, only thinking that the show was about to begin!

But for Li Zhantian's people, they smelled something different.

It was still Wu Sa; although he was a simple warrior, he was not a fool!

He clearly saw the change behind this.

"Big Brother, this change is absolutely incorrect; in previous years, this never happened!"

"That old bird, the Galaxy King, wants to kill your disciple!"

Li Zhantian also frowned; he indeed smelled something different!

This scent was full of conspiracy, full of Killing Intent!

The Titan Secret Realm was a very difficult Secret Realm. Although those who successfully cleared this Secret Realm, no matter how much time they spent, would directly win first place, the question was, could Lin Wu pass it?

The strongest Titan had reached Star Realm First Layer!

What kind of concept was that?

Li Zhantian was only Star Realm Seventh Layer!

The Galaxy King was merely at the Peak of Star Realm!

"Let's observe the situation. If it really comes down to it, we'll have to find a way to rescue Lin Wu!"

"Understood!"

Li Zhantian originally intended to remain still, quietly awaiting developments.

It was just that someone could no longer hold back!

Li Zhantian had been fighting and killing all these years; he was definitely not some easily bullied lamb.

"Galaxy King, I have worked diligently all these years, and you ignoring my brothers is one thing!"

"Now you are even resorting to insidious schemes; I am not to be trifled with!"

However.

Li Zhantian still couldn't be certain.

What if this result was truly completely random?

"Big Brother, I know what you're thinking!"

The speaker was a strategist named Tian Xing; he was exceptionally intelligent and possessed great wisdom.

He saw through the Galaxy King's intentions from the beginning, but he also dared not draw a conclusion or make a judgment!

His thoughts were the same as Li Zhantian's: that before reaching a certain level of combat power, one must never act rashly!

"Although we cannot easily determine it right now, if the Galaxy King truly has such intentions, it will not be limited to just this one manifestation."

Li Zhantian nodded, then issued a message:

"I understand, everyone, please remain calm for now."

...Inside the Trial Tower.

Lin Wu had already passed through the long spatialcrack.

And reached the Titan Secret Realm!

The Titan Secret Realm lived up to its name; everything was oversized. A giant tree reached four or five hundred meters, as thick as a skyscraper.

"This truly is a vast world; no wonder it's hailed as the most difficult Secret Realm."

Lin Wu looked out, and even a tree-dwelling insect here reached over ten meters.
