[The Black Monkey King took you leaping all over the Celestial River local galaxy.]
[You saw planets whose internal resources had been completely mined out, ocean planets used to raise giant aquatic mounts, and planets where fierce winds never stopped, allowing people to study wind-related Divine Abilities...]
["Hey, Little Blackie, do you even know what you're doing? Is your random-jumping technique really that utterly unreliable?"]
["Heh heh! Don't rush, don't rush. They say there's order in chaos. This move of mine may look completely random, but it has its own method."]
["A method that's completely unreliable..."]
[To your surprise, after yet another spatial jump, the Black Monkey King really did take you to a Special-tier Star!]
[The Black Monkey King rubbed his already somewhat bald head and pointed at a gigantic planet in the distance, its surface flowing with auspicious clouds and radiant colors.]
["Hahaha! That's Ares Star!"]
[Your eyes lit up.]
["Ares Star? The capital of the Ares Immortal Kingdom! The planet where the Ares royal family lives, and the political, economic, and military center of the Ares Immortal Kingdom!"]
["That's right! This is the place! Let me take a look..."]
[The Black Monkey King's eyes glowed with black light as he peered toward Ares Star.]
[His technique was similar to Clairvoyance, allowing him to see distant places with perfect clarity.]
["Good, good, good! The Ares royal family is holding its once-in-a-millennium Imperial Banquet. Everyone invited is either a royal relative, an important official of the Immortal Kingdom, or the head of a top faction!
The delicacies and drinks at the banquet are rare treasures from all across the Immortal Kingdom, and the guests will receive precious and exotic gifts as party favors!
They say the scraps tossed to the guests' mounts would be enough to turn a sect on a Second-tier Star into one of the leading local factions!"]
[The Black Monkey King rattled off the details as if he had them all memorized.]
[You couldn't help giving him a sidelong glance.]
["Have you eaten those scraps?"]
["Bullshit! Why would a dignified Immortal King eat scraps? Before I was sealed, I attended a few times, okay!"]
["Attended? Would they invite you? You don't exactly look like an upstanding fellow."]
["Who says I need an invitation to attend?"]
[You and the Black Monkey King looked at each other, the corners of your mouths rising in unison.]
["Chow time!!"]
[You and the Black Monkey King turned into two meteors and hurtled down from outer space, heading straight for the Ares Royal Gardens, where the Imperial Banquet was being held.]
[Members of the royal family and heads of top factions from across the Immortal Kingdom were raising their glasses and chatting merrily.]
[The scene was harmonious and orderly. Guests of all sorts of races were present, but not a single member of the Human Race.]
[Anyone who could appear at an event like this either had powerful connections or a cultivation level above the Heaven-Connecting Realm. Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings were a common sight.]
[Someone spotted the two shooting stars in the sky.]
["Oh, dear Emperor Zhezheli Kanjiji, is this an entertainment act you've arranged for us? Two humanoid meteors?"]
[Zhezheli Kanjiji was the current king of the Ares Immortal Kingdom. He possessed the formidable cultivation level of an Immortal King, ruled over half the Southern Star Realm, commanded countless elite troops and powerful generals, and had throngs of supporters.]
[The king wore golden battle armor encrusted with strange gemstones, a crown bigger than his head, and a large belly. A thick beard covered his face.]
[Zhezheli Kanjiji glanced up, then immediately spoke in a loud, composed voice.]
["Without a doubt! Those are two invaders! They're about to crash right here!! Guards!!! Turn them into air!!"]
[His expression and movements were indeed calm, but his voice was deafening.]
[This was a tradition of the Ares royal family.]
[The Royal Guard sprang into action, soaring into the sky!]
[The Royal Guard lost at lightning speed, turning into a cloud of bloody mist!]
[Black Monkey King: "Heh heh!! Your old pal Black is back!! Old King, throwing a feast and not inviting your old pal Black is a bit disrespectful, don't you think?!!"]
[You: "Get out of my way!! Rare treasures!! Precious and exotic treasures!! Mine!! They're all mine!!!"]
[Two lunatics came crashing down.]
[Every defensive measure protecting the Ares Royal Gardens was as flimsy as paper, shattered on the spot by an iron staff and a single fist.]
[Formations collapsed, barriers shattered, talismans flew everywhere, and guardian beasts were slain...]
[One was covered from head to toe in black fur; the other was wreathed in black energy. No matter how you looked at them, they were two great fiends.]
[The pair charged into the Ares Royal Gardens and attacked everyone in sight.]
[Anything edible was shoved into their mouths on the spot and swallowed in a flash.]
[Anything inedible was stuffed into Pot Heaven space. They took everything they could get their hands on.]
["Black Monkey King! Why is he back again?!"]
["And who is that other person? Doesn't he look like he's from the Human Race?"]
["The Human Race? Impossible! People from the Human Race wouldn't have the guts to wreak havoc at a royal banquet!"]
[The royal relatives and powerful guests began to fight back.]
[There might not have been a hundred Immortal Kings on the scene, but there were definitely dozens.]
[You two were ridiculously strong, but two fists couldn't beat four hands. If you actually fought them head-on, you'd definitely lose.]
[The thing was, you two weren't fighting them at all.]
[One relied on his innate physical body, which was so tough and thick-skinned that he wasn't afraid of getting hit.]
[The other relied on Venom to strengthen his darkening, giving him incredibly high damage resistance against the Alien Race. Anything that hit him felt like a tickle.]
[The two of you rampaged through the Ares Royal Gardens, taking whatever you wanted and demanding whatever you pleased.]
[One of you charged from east to west, while the other charged from south to north.]
[After a few rounds, the magnificent Ares Royal Gardens, hailed as one of the Southern Star Realm's wonders and a place every person from the Celestial River had to visit once in their life, was reduced to a field of ruins.]
[Prince Tuo Chiqi Kanjiji was there too. Several Immortal Kings protected him so well that he wasn't hurt at all.]
[But when he saw his favorite gardens destroyed, he flew into a furious tirade on the spot.]
["You bastards!! There are so many Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords here! Every one of you is either a mighty leader or a peerless powerhouse! And you can't even catch two lunatics!! Useless! You're all useless!!"]
[He was cursing at the guests.]
[They were helping him catch the invaders, and he was cursing them. Who was supposed to help him, then?]
[The guests left at once, leaving the royal family to clean up the mess themselves.]
[Zhezheli Kanjiji scolded Tuo Chiqi Kanjiji.]
["You brainless fool! Do you even know how to talk? As of today, you're no longer a prince! Go be a mine owner on a Second-tier Star!!"]
["Oh!! No!! Father!!! I was wrong! I shouldn't have cursed them to their faces!! I should've done what you do and said behind their backs that they were disobedient!! That they wouldn't follow your orders!! That they didn't pay enough taxes!!"]
[The situation grew extremely awkward.]
[You and the Black Monkey King wreaked havoc all across Ares Star, with the royal guards pursuing you every step of the way. You toured the entire planet through a hail of Divine Arts, laws, and Spiritual Treasures.]
[There were a few places you simply couldn't break into, but neither of you insisted on it.]
[There were precious treasures everywhere, anyway.]
[There was too much to eat, far too much!]
[There was too much to take, far too much!]
