Chapter 377, Laying the Foundation
Beyond the mysterious walls, the Palace Master of Qingying Palace, the Lord of Golden Horn, and the Lord of Nine Netherworlds, among other allies, greeted each other, but their gazes were fixed on the Yan Emperor, who had a proud single horn on his forehead, held the Yan God Halberd in his hand, and exuded an aura of dominance.
Tens of thousands of years ago, in that great war, Emperor Yan escaped because he was in the army of the True Demon God. After that war, the True Demon God, the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader, and even E Zhou all disappeared. Emperor Yan and a group of universe masters, from the original Nine Domains Alliance to the Free Alliance, and then to the new Nine Domains Alliance formed by dozens of universe masters after the fall of the Primordial Island Lord, still live in a remote place on the edge of the universe.
When the Palace Master of Qingying Palace saw that Yan Di's gaze had fallen on him, ancient cosmic lords such as the Lord of Golden Horn and the Lord of Nine Netherworlds naturally knew about Yan Di's past when he left the human race. At this moment, they looked at Yan Di's self-glow with a hint of amusement.
Emperor Yan gripped the Flame God Halberd, his gaze fixed intently on Palace Master Qingying, not daring to look away for even a moment.
Facing the Galactic Lord Luo Feng, he could rely on his seniority as the "Second Senior Brother" and even scold him, since such matters wouldn't be reported to the Mountain-Sitting Guest. However, this was completely ineffective against a Universe Lord like the Palace Master of Qingying Palace, who had a powerful background and formidable strength.
She is the eldest disciple of the Shadow Blade Master, and herself a true Universe Master, holding an extremely high position within the human race and the Hong Alliance. Others might be wary of the Lone Ranger, the strongest among them, who has connections with her, but she wouldn't, and neither would the Shadow Blade Master behind her. Others might be helpless against the Flame Emperor, who possesses the Primal Soul and the Flame God Halberd, but the Palace Master of Qingying Palace definitely has the means.
As the eldest disciple of the Shadow Blade Master, she is likely stronger than the Ice Peak Master who drew his sword in a fit of rage!
"Palace Master Qingying, why don't you try fighting with that Lord Yuan Ao?" Upon seeing Palace Master Qingying's gaze, Lord Cixin, who was also from the Nine Domains Alliance, quickly spoke up.
What a mess this is! He was also worried that the Palace Master of Qingying Palace might get angry and ignore the Lord of Yuan'ao's affairs, and instead attack Emperor Yan first. He didn't know whether he should intervene then.
Before the arrival of the Palace Master of Qingying Palace, Luo Feng, the Lord of the Galaxy, was the first to discover that the Lord of Yuan'ao was one of the two sources that caused the golden toad's eyes to turn red, and he was also the first to take action.
However, the Lord of Yuan'ao, possessing only a piece of black wood, had his strength soar to a level comparable to a top-tier fifth-order universe lord. Even Luo Feng, who possessed a top-grade domain treasure and combined it with the "Golden Kingdom" he had comprehended from three pairs of Chaos Golden Wings, giving him an absolute advantage in domain and spacetime, could only remain undefeated. As for defeating or even killing the Lord of Yuan'ao, he was still far from being able to do so.
After contacting the two-faced ancestral god, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds sent by him used his strongest secret technique, "Nine Netherworlds: Sea Eye," but he still could not defeat the Lord of Yuan'ao alone.
However, the fact that Yuan Aozhi took the initiative to use that black wood also made the strongest beings of the other three super powers in the original universe aware of it, which is why they sent a group of powerful universe lords here.
Every cosmic lord who comes here considers himself extraordinary, and some have even joined forces with their own factions to fight against the Lord of Profound Mystery, but no single faction has been able to kill the Lord of Profound Mystery alone.
Even an ancient universe lord like the Golden Horn Lord, who possesses supreme treasures of the pinnacle realm, cannot do it, nor can a fifth-order universe lord like the Nether Lotus Lord, who is proficient in souls.
However, they still had an advantage in some aspects, so they wouldn't lose even if they couldn't win. But the Lord of Heart Piercing and the Yan Emperor who came later were beaten so badly by the Lord of Yuan Ao with a black wooden stick that they fled in panic.
The power gap between the current rulers of the universe and the strongest beings in the universe is already widening.
Currently, only the Palace Master Qingying has just arrived, and she hasn't yet had a direct confrontation with Yuan Aozhi.
"Senior Sister, the artifact in the hands of Lord Yuan'ao is extremely powerful, second only to the Supreme Treasure. He should now possess the strength of a top-tier fifth-order cultivator." Upon hearing Lord Cixin's words, Galaxy Lord Luo Feng hurriedly spoke to Palace Master Qingying, "In addition, he also possesses a top-tier Domain Treasure and a peak-level Treasure Armor. He has no obvious weaknesses in any aspect."
As the first powerful figure to have fought against the Lord of Yuan'ao, he naturally knew the power of that strange object. It was practically equivalent to his current ability to activate only the second level of the Star Tower, and its power was extremely strong.
Palace Master Qingying nodded, shifting her gaze from Emperor Yan to the depths of the Mysterious Realm.
"I haven't been a Universe Lord for long, so I probably won't be a match for the Lord of Yuan'ao," said Palace Master Qingying. Although she was also a newly promoted Universe Lord, due to the strength of the human race, many powerful figures seemed to have the intention of making her their core. She also knew that these Universe Lords wanted to see her strength. "But since we're here, we should at least see just how strong the current Lord of Yuan'ao really is."
Hearing that Palace Master Qingying was humble but showed no fear, the other Universe Lords present were all moved, even Emperor Yan glanced at her sideways. These Universe Lords who had fought before knew that the current Lord of Yuan'ao was approaching the limits of the Primordial Universe in terms of attack power alone.
"I'll go lure out the Lord of Yuan'ao." Seeing that his senior sister was about to make a move, Luo Feng also wanted to see her skills.
Numerous cosmic lords teleported to the edge of the Mysterious Realm of Yuan, gazing at the twelve continents from afar. The six silver wings on the back of the Galactic Lord flapped, and endless golden light spread out, forming a vast, hazy golden space with a radius of twenty light-years, completely enveloping the twelve continents.
Apart from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and the Lord of the Dark Serpent, who had seen it before, the other universe lords were quite surprised. This range was even larger than that of ordinary top-level domain treasures, and immediately none of them dared to underestimate the newly promoted Galactic Lord.
"Yuan Ao!" Within the golden space, the Galaxy Lord uttered a low shout, his voice echoing across the twelve continents.
"垣AO!" "垣AO!" "垣AO!" "垣AO!" "垣AO!" "垣AO!"
Luo Feng's shout echoed through the golden kingdom, instantly reaching every inch of space on the twelve continents, causing countless lives on those continents to feel terrified and uneasy.
"Humanity's Galaxy!!!"
An angry roar resounded, and a dazzling stream of light shot out from a continent, instantly arriving in the void only millions of kilometers away from Luo Feng and his companions. The enormous single eye on the majestic divine body swept across the void, naturally taking in the twelve universe lords present.
Aside from the universe lords they had previously clashed with, this time there was an unfamiliar female human universe lord, and it was clear that the other universe lords intended to have her as their leader.
"Human! And who are you? I have never seen you before!" A black wooden stick radiating endless power appeared in the hand of the Lord of Yuan'ao, and his huge single eye was filled with confidence and madness.
"You may call me Palace Master Qingying." Standing before numerous universe lords, even powerful figures like the Galaxy Lord and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds lagged behind by half a step. The Palace Master Qingying's captivating fox eyes fell upon Lord Yuan'ao, his aura flickering faintly.
"Palace Master Qingying? You're a disciple of the Human Shadow Blade Master?" The giant, one-eyed being looked at Palace Master Qingying with some curiosity, then at the Galaxy Lord, its roar carrying a hint of admiration. "The Shadow Blade Master's disciple is indeed formidable, but even if he himself came today, I wouldn't be afraid in the slightest!"
It is incredibly difficult for a universe master to emerge from among the billions of races in the primordial universe, yet two of the Shadow Blade Master's personal disciples have achieved this.
In the Cosmic Sea, a place of extreme danger and countless waves, within a crimson palace treasure that drifts slowly with the waves, a being whose entire body is as if forged from steel casts a gaze more terrifying than the burning of billions of stars onto the distant primordial universe, and slowly speaks: "Humanity has entered the game."
Beside him stood a reptile, its body composed of chunks of gray-brown rock resembling a majestic mountain range. At that moment, a deep, rumbling voice rang out, vibrating through every inch of space: "Since humans are the strongest, then let us choose humans."
"Hao Lei threw in a rare divine wood, but was killed by the human Shadow Blade Master long ago. Your map is about to fall into human hands, which can be considered revenge for Hao Lei." The steel creature spoke slowly, its voice oppressing a space-time, "For the sake of your race, for the sake of eternity, please, humans, die."
"The trap has been set; we're just waiting for humans to come and die," the creeping mountain of gray-brown rock spoke. "For our race, for eternity!"
