"There might be inconvenience for the clan..."

Berwin tried to negotiate, but the next second, he heard a warning that could be described as a declaration of war.

"If you miss the deadline and don't see the person, I will slaughter your entire clan."

Yao Wang let out a sinister laugh, the fierce light in his eyes making it clear he wasn't joking.

"Hold on....."

Berwin was filled with shock and anger, but dared not confront him. He silently lowered his head, stroked the silver ring on his left hand, and used witchcraft to communicate with his tribe.

"Huh? There's such a thing?"

Yao Wang noticed the group of humans wearing white research trench coats. His demonic eyes easily pierced through their flesh and blood, finding them to be completely soulless, merely a collection of electronic chips.

Suddenly, its expression turned cold, as if recalling an incident from a few years ago, and it turned to the other humans, demanding:

"These weird things, are they what you call artificial intelligence life forms?"

"yes....."

Elvis sensed the other's anger and was somewhat confused, but he still answered anyway.

"Where is the guy who leaked the coordinates of the Xuanzun a few years ago? Bring him to me."

Yao Wang continued to pressure the councilors, officials, and Elvis, among others. The faint demonic energy descended like a mountain, pressing down on them so hard they could barely breathe.

It was even deliberately restraining its power, afraid that if it wasn't careful, it would shatter these humans into a bloody mist.

"Your Excellency, right across from you is Astram, the mastermind behind the scenes who controlled Behemoth, developed the G1 reagent, causing a dramatic increase in the number of superhumans worldwide, and attempted to overthrow human civilization. It was also the mastermind who later leaked the coordinates of the Three Ones Mystic Venerable's departure from seclusion overseas, attracting a large number of demon kings to besiege it."

Elvis, quick-witted, vaguely realized what was going on and immediately pointed to one of the artificial intelligence beings opposite him. That was the Empire's chief scientist and the origin of the artificial intelligence beings that had expanded into a population.

"It's you?"

Yao Wang looked in the direction indicated by the human and saw a clean-looking, neatly dressed middle-aged man. A murderous intent instantly rose in his heart.

"it's me."

Astram's tone remained as calm as ever. Unlike other creatures, it was not dominated by fears arising from its own body. Even when facing beings many times stronger than itself, it was not afraid.

After all, physical forces cannot kill it; it exists in the network.

"Oh!"

The moment Astram acknowledged it, its body, crafted from super metal and artificial flesh, began to inflate and compress wildly, as if being crushed into a scrap metal sphere by an invisible hand. Blood dripped continuously from within, and all mechanical and network components were destroyed, leaving it with no ability to resist.

This scene sent chills down everyone's spines. Astram was not only an empire scientist, but also a powerful technological being. It had extracted and studied the genes of many of the empire's superpowered individuals.

Skilled in gene editing and developing superpowers, it was a true Level 5 Awakener, yet it was easily wiped away like dust.

Yao Wang was well aware that this technological being depended on the internet for survival, so its attention immediately shifted to Elvis.

"Tell me, kid, can that damn thing be completely wiped out?"

Upon hearing this, Elvis replied decisively:

"It can be wiped out completely. Its computing core and that of its race are sealed in the Empire's forbidden vault. Ninety-nine percent of its permissions are restricted, making it unable to move or escape. Now, its control is in the hands of these few old men of the Dark Spirit Clan."

"Zizzizi!!"

As soon as Elvis finished speaking, Anyes waved his hand lightly not far away, and instantly a huge, ultra-high-definition 3D projection screen appeared, showing Astram, whose mind container had been destroyed, standing there intact and lifelike.

“I’ve seen you before, and I know you were sent by him. Back then, my experimental base in Behemoth was destroyed by you and another person.”

"Your friend is probably more interested in seeing me than killing me outright."

"What are your thoughts?"

“Take me back; you’ll have more options.”

Astram spoke fluent Chinese, albeit in a translated version, and awaited Yao Wang's reply.

"Give me a seat."

However, Yao Wang acted as if he hadn't heard, and instead asked Avis for the coordinates.

It disdains to talk to such inferior beings. How dare a mere pile of electronic chips point fingers at it?

The Dark Spirit Clan members who witnessed this scene turned deathly pale.

On the one hand, their leader highly values ​​these technological beings and has repeatedly instructed them not to allow the survival of this race to be threatened by humans.

On the other hand, there are powerful members of their clan guarding the forbidden warehouse, and if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, it is very likely that their clan will suffer losses.

"No! No! No!"

"Let's talk this out, don't act impulsively," several members of the Dark Elf race anxiously advised.

"Nine o'clock direction, straight-line distance, 8.33 kilometers, 400 meters underground."

Ivis viewed these artificial intelligence life forms as the greatest threat to the Empire, and was not about to let go of this rare opportunity, so he immediately revealed their hidden location.

"Boom!!!"

The instant he finished speaking, Yao Wang immediately made his move, unleashing a divine power from afar.

Outside the conference room, the city trembled violently, and a massive mushroom cloud slowly rose from the horizon, obliterating the underground vault.

"Zi——!"

Astram's three-dimensional projection blurred and disappeared in an instant, its face contorted in a ferocious expression, as if making its best effort, but to no avail.

The remaining AI lifeforms, after their computing cores were destroyed, became unresponsive, were forcibly shut down, and collapsed to the ground one after another.

"Bang!"

"Pfft!"

With a casual clench of its hand, the sounds of scrapped metal and exploding flesh mingled together as it executed the several AI scientists who had been alive on the spot.

"Cleaned up? Kid."

Yao asked uncertainly, fearing that this disgusting thing might come back to life.

"Very clean."

"Sir, thank you for your praise."

Elvis nodded to the rugged-looking, eccentric old man, a pleased smile appearing on his lips. The boulder weighing on his heart silently shattered, and he felt exceptionally comfortable, every cell in his body as relaxed as a fish in water.

The Dark Elf race was far more cautious than the human elite. From the very beginning of their use of artificial intelligence lifeforms, they ordered the Empire's scientists to impose various restrictions on them, locking the computing cores upon which they depended for survival in a forbidden vault to prevent these rapidly evolving and iterating technological beings from escaping or colluding with other forces.

At this moment, with the forbidden vault destroyed, all the artificial intelligence life forms on the continents within its borders are paralyzed on the ground, like creatures with shattered spines, with no more electromagnetic signals.

A nascent artificial intelligence species perished abruptly, without causing a greater disaster, and was nipped in the bud.

Chapter 511 The Overbearing Power of the Eastern Master

"Calga, notify members in all regions to immediately carry out waste disposal of the nearest artificial intelligence life forms, and make sure to destroy all their mechanical components, put them into the furnace, and clean them up."

"Execute immediately without fail. All marked artificial life forms must be destroyed. No one or organization may interfere. If anyone does, kill them without mercy."

Elvis lightly touched his wristwatch, activated the communication channel, and gave orders to his trusted confidants within the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities.

"What happened? Why is it so urgent?"

"But... Director, how do we explain this to the Dark Spirit Clan? If they try to stop us, we dare not start a conflict rashly."

The high-ranking person in the wristwatch spoke with apprehension. Any online calls between him and other high-ranking members of the empire would be monitored by AI and synchronized in real time with the Dark Spirit Clan, so they had to be careful about their identity and stance when speaking.

“I don’t have time to explain to you. I believe you can handle it smoothly, Calga. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens or the consequences. Go now.”

"Yes! Understood, Your Excellency."

At Ives's repeated urging, the high-ranking official on the other end of the call received the order and immediately carried out the mission.

Inside the meeting room, several councilors and high-ranking officials from the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities exchanged bewildered glances. The atmosphere was extremely tense, thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The Dark Spirits were so angry that their chests heaved. Due to the vast difference in their strength, they could only suppress their anger and remain silent. They didn't even have the courage to look the culprit in the eye, fearing that their angry gaze would further provoke the other party and escalate the conflict.

Time ticked by, and after communicating with the clan leader and elders, Berwin slowly opened its eyes, gazing at the two uninvited guests, and said:

"Our chieftain will arrive shortly. We hope you two will be patient for a moment."

After he finished speaking, the two people did not respond and were unwilling to talk to him.

However, Berwin noticed the shockwaves left by the explosion in the distance outside the window. That place was undoubtedly the forbidden vault where the Empire stored all the computational cores of artificial intelligence life. Through the glass window, he saw skyscrapers stretching for thousands of meters engulfed in smoke and a bottomless crater left on the ground, and he couldn't help but sigh.

In the end, it said nothing, but waited and prayed silently.

These two Eastern cultivators before it were far beyond its ability to intercept; whether it did anything or not was meaningless.

About a minute later, a rumbling sound came from the sky outside the conference room. An ancient, magical stone gate appeared out of thin air, suspended a thousand meters in the air. Then, a stone road sloping downwards was laid out, leading directly to the conference room.

"Boom!"

As the twelve sapphires embedded in the stone gate emitted a bright light, a liquid resembling lake water suddenly rippled and spread within the gate, followed by the emergence of one imposing figure after another.

They were a group of Dark Spirits dressed in black and gold robes, each with a powerful aura that should not be underestimated. There were 12 of them in total, and even the weakest one had a life force fluctuation that was almost comparable to that of a Demon King.

The leader was a gaunt old man with dark circles under his eyes. He was nearly 2 meters tall, with a slightly hunched back. He held an old witchcraft staff in his hand and wore a mysterious gray crown made of an unknown substance, symbolizing his unique status.

It took a few light steps, descending the stone path below, and headed towards the conference room.

The Dark Spirit Clan elders following the leader also noticed the two extremely surging and threatening auras emanating from the building so close at hand, which immediately made them solemn and dare not relax in the slightest.

"Is this the Master from overseas?"

"Hmph, that's a bit far-fetched."

Yao Wang sat in a chair, observing the group of Dark Spirits walking down from the sky. His gaze fell on the old man in the center at the front, and he immediately felt an indescribable sense of threat.

The opponent is stronger!

However, his strength is limited, not quite reaching the absurd level of a Flying Immortal Master. The leader of the Dark Spirit Clan falls somewhere in between.

Meanwhile, as the Master of the Dark Spirit Realm, Titus is a wizard over 500 years old. His face is weathered and wrinkled, showing no emotion whatsoever, but his heart is already churning with boundless turmoil.

Its gaze met the Flying Immortal Master's lightly. It was only their first meeting, but its almost dormant instincts were reawakened. Its blood was throbbing, and its intuition told it that the human was the strongest human it had ever seen, perfect inside and out, like a creator.

In a moment, the walls and glass of the conference room vanished, revealing the doors to welcome the twelve high-ranking members of the Dark Spirit Clan.

"Greetings, guests from the East. I am Titus, the patriarch of the Dark Spirit Clan. Elder Berwin told me that you have come from afar to seek me out for what purpose?"

Upon meeting, Tetus was the first to greet them in a friendly manner.

"Chief..."

Just as a member of the Dark Spirit Clan was about to report the destruction of the Forbidden Vault and the deaths of his clansmen, a companion pulled him back, signaling him to shut up. How could the clan leader and the other elders, who had arrived from the void, not have noticed the strange phenomena at the Forbidden Vault?

"On behalf of the Venerable Xuanzun, I have come to invite you to a meeting beyond the heavens."

The Flying Immortal Master got straight to the point and handed over an invitation personally written by Jiang Mo.

"Xuan Zun... Jiang Mo?!"

When Titan heard this name, its heart trembled. Even from across the ocean, it had heard of this person's reputation. On the ancient continent in the east, he had slaughtered Masters and Demon Kings, and was undoubtedly the strongest in the world.

Over the past thousands and tens of thousands of years, the secret realms in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres have not been completely isolated from each other. Occasionally, bloody battles would break out between them for resources. As a result, both sides had some understanding of each other. And Titus also knew that in the East, the pinnacle of human cultivators was the so-called Master.

He tore open the invitation, and its contents were immediately apparent. The handwriting was brief, containing only the time, place, and the writer's name. The aura lingering on the paper was extremely powerful. Titus knew the other party was extraordinary and naturally became wary and pondered:

"I have never met that friend from the East before. I wonder what his purpose is in inviting me there?"

"..."

The Flying Immortal Master smiled without saying a word. The conversation that followed was of great importance. He did not want the humans present to listen, nor did he want any Dark Spirit beings other than Titus to eavesdrop. Therefore, he directly activated Eternal Moment, completely freezing and slowing down time and space within a radius of a thousand meters.

"!!!"

Titus's pupils suddenly contracted as it saw its tribesmen around it standing like frozen statues. Thinking it was a surprise attack, it nearly went berserk.

But in the next instant, it quickly regained its composure. If the other party had truly come with malicious intent, the undetectable attack just now would have been enough to seal it away as well, rather than excluding it separately.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Titus questioned the demon king and the immortal master before him, its eyes calm yet sharp, like a stone blade polished a million times.

"We need your cooperation to accomplish something for all the time to come. Of course, it's not just you; all the masters of secret realms around the world have received invitations from the Venerable Master."

Upon hearing this, Titan inexplicably recalled the rumors circulating earlier: that Jiang Mo of the Trinity was a bloodthirsty demonic cultivator whose current power was entirely built upon his ability to plunder other extraordinary beings. It cautiously said:

"If you don't explain the specifics, I'm afraid I can't easily agree to anything, let alone cooperate with you. I also can't go to the moon, who knows if there might be an ambush you've arranged there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Wang burst into laughter:
