Chapter 111, Gathering
With the space sealed off, Li Yan's clone was like a mosquito trapped in amber; although it could still fly, it was greatly hindered.
The next instant, Li Yan's clone saw a turquoise bamboo with overwhelming power and a prison-like aura appear above the small island.
The island, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, is smaller than a single bamboo leaf. The lowest rhizome of the green bamboo is tens of thousands of kilometers thick and over a million kilometers long, covered with countless new bamboo shoots.
The Qingyu bamboo floats above the small island, with its lowest bamboo whip only a few hundred kilometers away from the island, while the bamboo leaves above it are already in the starry sky.
Almost at the same time that Qing Yuzhu arrived here, the two long vines, each over ten million kilometers long, the Void Blood Vine and the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine, also appeared here. The three immortal-level plant life forms appeared at the same time, their auras overwhelming the entire starry sky!
On the small island beneath the Jade Bamboo, Li Yan's clone saw four bamboo shoots detach from the bamboo rhizome. Then, the sheaths fell away, and almost instantly they transformed into a single, emerald-green bamboo shoot. These four newly sprouted emerald-green bamboo shoots, radiating an aura of immortality, vanished in an instant.
From Li Yan's perspective, only two breaths later, four new bamboo shoots returned, along with eight special life forms with terrifying auras.
Ye Muxuan recognized the owners of three of the auras!
A mountain giant over 200,000 kilometers tall, a magma dragon over 10,000 kilometers long, and a giant fire tree over 10 million kilometers tall with a trunk over 100,000 kilometers long.
Besides the three auras that Ye Muxuan recognized, the remaining five auras were equally terrifying, but he did not recognize them. He had sensed two of them from afar before.
I sensed the presence of a giant whale and a sea dragon from afar when I was in the endless sea.
The remaining three auras were completely unfamiliar. One was a Xuan Turtle, about the size of an ordinary person's palm, its size insignificant, even minuscule; hundreds of Xuan Turtles combined wouldn't even be as big as the mountain giant's eye. But the aura emanating from it was terrifying, even surpassing that of the mountain giant standing beside it!
A pair of purplish-gold gloves, roughly the same size as the Xuan Turtle, but emanating an equally terrifying aura. Ye Muxuan could vaguely sense that the gloves were originally some kind of metallic life form, but he didn't know why they had taken on the shape of gloves.
The last aura was that of a giant blue bird with a body length exceeding 100,000 kilometers and a wingspan exceeding 200,000 kilometers.
Eleven terrifying auras lingered here; those with eyes stared at Ye Muxuan, while those without eyes locked onto him with their auras.
……
Virtual universe, Thunder Island summit, palace.
"Senior brother, how did it go this time?" The voice of the White Phoenix Palace Master came from a chaotic stream of air.
The chaotic energy parted, and the Lord of Chaos City stepped out. Looking at the Palace Master of White Phoenix before him, he said, "Not bad. I managed to snatch a top-tier treasure longsword, two high-grade treasures, and seven ordinary treasures."
"Even with Senior Brother's personal intervention, he couldn't snatch that supreme treasure longsword? Could it have been taken by the Lord of the Star River? Or the Lord of the Golden Horn?" Palace Master Bai Feng was somewhat curious. In this primordial universe, the Lord of Chaos City could be considered one of the most powerful figures. Could it be that some other strong individual managed to steal it this time?
The Lord of the Star River is no less powerful than the Lord of Chaos City, and the pair of maces in his hands are top-grade treasures among peak-level treasures, possessing extraordinary combat power. The Lord of the Golden Horn also possesses a peak-level domain-type treasure, although it is only the most common type of peak-level treasure, it still gives him a significant advantage in this situation.
"No, it was the Lord of the Underworld who ultimately seized that supreme treasure." The Chaos City Lord spoke up, interrupting the White Phoenix Palace Master's guess. He then sighed, "The Underworld Bell in the Lord of the Underworld's possession truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier supreme treasure. It's a treasure on par with the long mace in the Star River Lord's possession. This time, he gained an advantage by directly killing a Universe Lord, and even the Golden Horn Lord suffered a loss in the end."
"A universe lord has died?" Palace Master Bai Feng was somewhat surprised. She had anticipated that the struggle for the ultimate treasure would not be peaceful, and it was normal for universe lords to have a great melee among themselves, but the direct killing of one was still unexpected.
"Not just one, three died this time." The Chaos City Lord corrected the White Phoenix Palace Master. "One died in the Three Mountains Alliance, one died in the Nine Domains Alliance, and one died in the Northern Frontier Alliance."
At this point, a murderous aura flashed between the brows of the Chaos City Lord, "Originally, it was Yan Emperor who was supposed to die in this Nine Domains Alliance, but in the end, for some unknown reason, the Lord of Yu Peak stood in front of Yan Emperor and was directly obliterated from his soul by Huang Quanling."
Palace Master Bai Feng remained silent. In the battle for the supreme treasure, three Universe Lords had perished. Among them, Lord Yu Feng, although not the strongest among the Universe Lords, was still at a normal level and held a high position in the Nine Domains Alliance. However, he was killed by Lord Huang Quan in one blow!
"I remember the Void Demon God once said that the Lord of the Underworld's level in the Dao of the Soul was no less than his own when he was the Lord of the Universe. Now it seems he wasn't wrong. Moreover, with the Underworld Bell, the Lord of the Underworld might even surpass the Void Demon God back then." The Chaos City Lord sighed somewhat. Reaching a high level in the Dao of the Soul is truly terrifying. Among the human race, or rather, within the entire Hong Alliance, no one has yet reached the level of the Lord of the Underworld. Only the Dark Lord, who inherited the ancestral soul path, comes closest. However, although the Dark Lord possesses several supreme treasures, none of them can compare to the Underworld Bell.
"Is the Lord of the Underworld really that terrifying?"
"The Lord of the Underworld, with the Yellow Springs Bell in his hands, is more terrifying than you think. However, his path overlaps somewhat with that of the True Demon God. He's alright now, but becoming the strongest in the future won't be so easy." Although the Chaos City Lord values the Lord of the Underworld, he's not exactly afraid of him. Looking across the entire Primordial Universe, there are only three or five Universe Lords whom he truly respects, and the Lord of the Underworld isn't among them yet.
"By the way, according to the usual practice, the message you sent this time will either grant you a high-grade treasure longsword or 15 treasure points. You can choose one." This message from the temple was sent by Palace Master Bai Feng to the Lord of Chaos City. As is customary, he will also give her a portion after obtaining the treasure.
High-grade treasure weapons generally cost around 8-30 treasure points, so giving Palace Master Bai Feng 15 treasure points is a normal allocation.
"Give me some Treasure Points. I happen to have some unused Treasures on hand. I'll keep one or two ordinary Treasures as a reward for whichever little guy breaks through to the Venerable realm later. I also need to prepare to exchange the rest." The White Phoenix Palace Master has reaped considerable rewards on the Primordial Star over the years, even acquiring two high-grade Treasure weapons. With the 15 Treasure Points given by the Chaos City Lord, she can consider exchanging for a high-grade flying palace-type Treasure.
The Lord of Chaos opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
He valued fairness above all else, and he would never reward his personal disciples with a supreme treasure upon breaking through to the Venerable realm, even if it was just the most ordinary one. However, these supreme treasures were, after all, the White Phoenix Palace Master's own acquisition, and how they were disposed of was none of his concern.
However, sometimes he would ask himself if he had given Coty a treasure back then, so that Coty could calmly self-destruct when in danger, instead of being unable to be resurrected even if time was reversed.
