    “Someone save me!”


    Wu Zhan was utterly terrified. To save his own life, he had already used numerous life-saving items and overexerted his control over the Deste Realm’s power to protect himself.


    But even so, he felt he couldn’t hold on much longer.


    As time ticked by, Wu Zhan constantly felt he could be killed at any moment.


    Just as he was on the brink of death, a voice called out.


    “Alien race, how dare you massacre the living beings of the Deste Realm? Courting death!”


    Hearing this voice, a glimmer of hope arose in Wu Zhan’s heart.


    “Someone hase to save me!” he thought.He quickly sensed the presence of a Universal God, but his heart sank immediately.


    He recognized this Universal God—a higher n Universal God whose strength was significantly weaker than his own. How could this person possibly save him? This higher n Universal God was just here to die too!


    “It’s over!” Wu Zhan despaired.


    The higher n Universal God was also stunned. The Innate Deities had told him that an alien was ughtering the creatures of the Deste Realm and sent him to kill this alien.


    He came enthusiastically, but he hadn’t expected this scene.


    “Wu Zhan, the Deste Demon, is much stronger than me, yet he is about to fall to this alien. How can I be a match for him?”


    He realized he had been tricked by those Innate Deities. This alien was not someone he could provoke! But he had to act. Wu Zhan couldn’t die; if he fled now, the Innate Deities wouldn’t spare him, and even his family would be in danger.


    If he saved Wu Zhan, it would be a great merit. Besides, the Innate Deities had said other Universal Gods were on their way, so he wasn’t without hope.


    “Release Wu Zhan!”


    The higher n Universal God attacked, attempting to use his assault on Ye Tian to stop him from killing Wu Zhan.


    But at that moment, Ye Tian used his spatial powers to block the higher n Universal God’s attack and then reached out to grab Wu Zhan.


    “Chaos Xumi Palm!”


    This move was a recent creation by Ye Tian, a True Chaos Technique that could trap enemies within the Xumi Storage Realm in his palm.


    The power of the Chaos Xumi Palm far surpassed that of the Xumi Palm. While Wu Zhan could have blocked the Chaos Xumi Palm at his peak, now, gravely injured and on the brink of death, he couldn’t resist.


    Whoosh!!


    Wu Zhan was captured by Ye Tian and suppressed within his palm.


    “An ordinary Universal God dares to oppose me? Seeking death!”


    Ye Tian teleported over, wielding the Spear of Hellish Void, and thrust it fiercely.


    The higher n Universal God tried to dodge but waspletely affected by the time ability, unable to evade.


    St! The higher n Universal God was severely injured.


    “No!”


    The higher n Universal God was terrified.


    He never imagined Ye Tian’s power was so horrifying, rendering his own abilities useless. The power gap between them was too vast! In less than half a minute of pursuit, Ye Tianpletely ughtered the higher n Universal God in this void.


    Wu Zhan was also crushed to death by Ye Tian,pletely falling to his demise.


    At the moment of Wu Zhan’s fall, a voice and angry roar echoed through the void from a Universal God.


    “Alien race, how dare you kill a Deste Demon? You’re dead!”


    “The Deste Demons are thergest n in the Deste Realm, few in number but with high potential, created by the Deste Sovereign and his proudest creation.”


    “You’ve enraged us; you won’t leave the Deste Realm alive!”


    “Alien race, you’re dead! Not only will you die, but all other aliens in the Deste Realm will die too!”


    Ye Tian nced upward and sneered, “I’ll be waiting!”


    The threats from the Innate Deities were undoubtedlyughable. Did they really think killing him would be that easy? Moreover, killing all the powerful beings from other realms wasn’t simple either.


    Manyary System level and Gxy level warriors had entered this time, each carrying numerous secret treasures. Theirbat power wasn’t weak.


    The various ns of the Deste Realm were already disunited; even some lower ns and parts of the higher ns were afraid of death and wouldn’t fight at all costs to kill a single race.


    If they truly fought, the Deste Realm would suffer significant losses.


    Compared to the losses of the various races in the universe, losing a few insignificantary System level or Gxy level warriors was nothing. However, the Deste Realm could not afford such losses.


    At this moment, the threats from the Innate Deities seemed more like an outburst and a disy of ipetence!


    “Swish!” Ye Tian quickly flew away, leaving the area.


    Immediately after, he infiltrated a city, disguised himself as a Deste Realm being, and left the city using various escape techniques to evade the Innate Deities’ detection.


    Of course, he knew he couldn’tpletely avoid the Innate Deities’ searches, but he only needed to evade them temporarily. That would be enough.


    In a remote mountain of the Deste Realm, Ye Tian secluded himself to merge with the Deste Mark talent. Once he integrated this talent, his power in the Deste Realm would surge, greatly enhancing his survival capabilities.


    “Merge!”


    With a single thought, Ye Tian began the fusion process.


    Half an hour passed quickly, and Ye Tian sessfully integrated the Deste Mark talent.


    Then, Ye Tian truly understood the utility of the Deste Mark talent.


    “The Deste Mark talent allows me to connect with a trace of the Deste Realm’s origin, thereby mobilizing its power, and can amplify mybat strength up to tenfold!” Ye Tian was overjoyed.


    His strength was already formidable. If he could amplify it tenfold, he would definitely be on par with the top-tier Universal Gods.


    “No wonder Divine de Supreme warned me to be wary of the Deste Demons of the Deste Realm. Luckily, the one I encountered this time wasn’t powerful. If I had encountered a strong Universal God Deste Demon, even with my life-saving abilities, I wouldn’t have been able to escape!” Ye Tian thought to himself.


    “Deste Mark talent, activate!”


    Ye Tian instantly activated the Deste Mark talent, connecting with a trace of the Deste Realm’s origin.


    In an instant, Ye Tian felt the world change. It seemed as if everything was under his control. He could now mobilize the Deste Realm’s power to enhance himself, attack enemies, and protect himself.


    Just as Ye Tian was immersing himself in the Deste Mark talent, he suddenly sensed even more powerful Deste Realm forces sweeping towards him.


    “It’s the Innate Deities!” Ye Tian sensed.


    He quickly realized that these Deste Realm forces had locked onto him. Without the Deste Mark talent, he wouldn’t have been able to sense the Deste Realm’s power and would have been unaware that the Innate Deities had locked onto him.


    But now, with the Deste Mark talent, he could evade at any time, avoiding being locked onto by the Deste Realm’s Innate Deities.


    “It’s time to leave. I’ve been discovered here!”


    Ye Tian escaped once more.


    Before long, several powerful Deste Demons arrived, but they couldn’t find Ye Tian.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    In the following days, the Innate Deities tried to locate Ye Tian, but they failed every time.


    One day, the Innate Deities began a heated discussion.


    “What’s going on? Why can’t we find that alien each time?”


    “It’s strange. We are using the Deste Realm’s power to search for that alien, so we should be urate. Why does he always escape as if he knows we’reing?”


    “Have you noticed that the alien has a faint trace of the Deste Realm’s origin on him?”


    “Huh, you noticed too? I thought it was just an illusion!”


    With this discussion, the Innate Deities were stunned.


    Soon, they confirmed that Ye Tian indeed carried the aura of the Deste Realm’s origin, a discovery that left them all astonished.


    Eventually, they spected that Ye Tian might possess a special treasure from the Deste Realm, which had been taken by an outsider.


    This treasure could sense their searches, allowing him to escape easily each time.


    Another possibility was that a Deste Demon was hiding with Ye Tian, helping him escape.


    As for Ye Tian possessing the Deste Mark talent, they couldn’t even imagine it. After all, only Deste Demons had this talent, and other aliens or even higher ns of the Deste Realm couldn’t possess it.


    Unable to capture Ye Tian, the Innate Deities eventually gave up after some time, instructing all races to heighten their vignce.
