Chapter 657 The Wings of the Lord of the Path
"Don't push us too far. If we notify our kin in the Holy Land, they can send their strongest warriors here very quickly!"
The Lord of Fire Sky, though outwardly fierce, inwardly weak, said.
Chu Yang said nonchalantly, "You can try, see if I can take care of you before they arrive!"
They knew Chu Yang was telling the truth; that was the rule of the Cosmic Sea: the strong prey on the weak, and strength reigns supreme.
When you have enough strength, everyone, no matter who they are, will take you seriously.
Just as the three were hesitating, Chu Yang's clone dropped another bombshell: "I forgot to tell you, I need the universe lord you lured out. He has something I need on him: a pair of wing-shaped treasures."
Upon hearing the words "a treasure shaped like wings," the three of them instantly changed color, their faces turning even more ashen than if they had swallowed a fly.
They instantly understood who Chu Yang's target was—the Lord of Peixing of the Purple Moon Holy Land, who possessed the supreme treasure of wings, the "Five-Colored Cloud Wings"!
"Lord of Peixing... he is a peak fifth-order universe lord!" Lord Huoxiao gasped, his voice trembling slightly.
The Lord of Purple Lightning's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This Chu Yang, his appetite is far too great! The Lord of Peixing has been famous for a long time, and his strength is unfathomable. The three of us are no match for him in a one-on-one fight, yet he actually dares to set his sights on the Lord of Peixing!"
The Lord of Jade Star frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "What exactly is Chu Yang trying to do? Luring the Lord of Peixing out, he definitely has ill intentions! What if..."
He didn't finish speaking, but the other two understood what he meant.
If Chu Yang wanted to use them to get rid of the Master of Peixing, wouldn't they become accomplices?
When the Purple Moon Holy Land investigates, they'll be in deep trouble!
The three of them looked at each other, and each saw a deep sense of apprehension in the other's eyes.
They didn't know what Chu Yang was up to, but their intuition told them that this was a hot potato, and if they weren't careful, they would get burned.
Chu Yang's clone saw the three people hesitating and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
He knew perfectly well what these three were worried about: they were afraid that if they were found to have betrayed their own kind, they would suffer the most severe punishment!
So they decided to add fuel to the fire.
To be precise, it requires adding some more conditions!
"It seems the three of you are still hesitant, but I can understand. Lord Peixing is an outstanding member of your clan, and I reckon he's not far from becoming the strongest!"
Chu Yang's clone said slowly, "I can also grant you one more request: I can teach you that array that absorbed various energies. As you saw, I successfully condensed the Heart of a True God using this array!"
As he spoke, Chu Yang's clone unabashedly released a trace of the aura of the Heart of a True God.
Although this aura was only a wisp, it was as profound as the vast universe, instantly filling the entire palace.
Sensing this aura, the three of them could no longer sit still.
The heart of the true God, this is the breath of the heart of the true God!
The Lord of Purple Lightning, a powerful figure who had been trapped in the realm of the Lord of the Universe for more than twenty reincarnations, began to breathe rapidly.
He longed to break through and become the strongest, but this hope remained out of reach.
Now, Chu Yang has given him a tangible opportunity!
"The heart of the true... true god..."
The Lord of Purple Lightning stammered, "You...you're really willing to teach us that formation?"
The Lord of Fire and the Lord of Jade Star also stared longingly at Chu Yang's clone.
They too have been stuck at the level of the Lord of the Universe for too long, with little hope of breaking through.
If one can truly condense the heart of a true god, then becoming the strongest being in the universe will no longer be a dream!
As for whether the Purple Moon Holy Land universe can support them to become the strongest, that's not a problem at all.
What a joke! If they can't reach the limit of the Lord of the Universe, even if the strongest one falls, it won't be them!
Moreover, among the cosmic lords in the Purple Moon Holy Land, there are many who are stronger than them.
"certainly!"
Chu Yang's clone smiled slightly, "I keep my word. As long as you help me lure the Lord of Peixing out, the formation, plus one act of assistance, are all yours."
The three looked at each other, their minds in turmoil.
On one side is the Lord of Peixing, who betrayed the Purple Moon Holy Land; on the other is the temptation to become the strongest. How should they choose?
"Alright, we agree!" In the end, the three Lords of Purple Lightning nodded, gritted their teeth, and made their decision.
The Lord of Fire Sky and the Lord of Jade Star nodded in agreement.
They crave power more than illusory loyalty!
The Lord of Fire Sky and the Lord of Jade Star nodded in agreement.
They crave power more than illusory loyalty!
The Lord of Jade Star said, "We agree to your request! However, if you dare to play us for fools, we will fight to the death to make your human race pay the price!"
Chu Yang's clone laughed and said, "Don't worry, when have I, the Lord of All Laws, ever lied to anyone? As long as you do as I say, I believe you can all become the strongest in the universe!"
Seeing the three universe lords of the Purple Moon Holy Land overjoyed, Chu Yang's clone's smile deepened, thinking to himself, "Three fools, do they really think they can get any benefits from me?"
The Chaos Limitless Array? I can indeed teach you that, but if you want to use this array to absorb energy and improve yourself…
Unless one's level of understanding reaches an extremely profound level, they will only suffer a qi deviation! And then, hehe…”
"Then, the three of you should act quickly. I'll be waiting for your good news."
Chu Yang's clone waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared into the palace, leaving only a faint trace of the True God's Heart.
After Chu Yang's clone left, the Jade Star Cauldron began to fly towards the outside of Flowing Cloud Valley. Finally, in a dangerous place in the Inclined Peak Realm, the Jade Star Palace slowly came to a stop.
During the recent battle, they hid inside the Jade Star Cauldron and amassed quite a few spoils of war, with each of them obtaining several top-tier or peak-level treasures.
Although the harvest couldn't compare to the treasure of the palace, the Flowing Cloud Palace, it was still a worthwhile trip.
More importantly, they saw hope in breaking through to become the strongest!
Seeing the three Universe Lords of the Purple Moon Holy Land leave, the powerhouses of other races did not stop them. For them, losing a powerhouse meant losing a competitor!
Inside the Jade Star Cauldron, they began discussing how to lure the Lord of Peixing to appear.
The Lord of Jade Star broke the silence first, his tone tinged with anxiety: "The Lord of Peixing is an old fox by nature cautious and suspicious. It won't be easy to lure him out."
"indeed!"
Lord Fire Sky echoed in a gruff voice, "That old guy is as slippery as an eel, and he's incredibly strong and fast. Even if the three of us joined forces, we might not be able to take him down."
The Lord of Purple Lightning's eyes darted around, and he chuckled sinisterly, "I do have an idea, hehe..."
He leaned closer to the two of them and whispered in their ears.
Meanwhile, deep within the Purple Moon Holy Land, in a magnificent palace, the Lord of Peixing sat cross-legged, cultivating with his eyes closed.
He wore a purple robe, had eight heads and sixteen arms, and a pair of colorful wings on his back, exuding a powerful aura.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, a glint of light flashing in them.
"What's wrong? Why do I feel uneasy, like something bad is about to happen?"
The Lord of Peixing frowned, a strange unease rising in his heart.
Just then, a message token flew into the palace and landed in his hand.
The Lord of Peixing unfolded the command token, his expression changing drastically. It read: "Brother, come quickly to the Black Wind Canyon at the edge of the Qingfeng Realm! I think I've detected the same aura as the wings on your back!"
This communication token was forged by the Lord of Purple Lightning.
"What?"
"There are others like my winged treasure? Are these two pairs of wings not my limit?"
"The treasure formed by my two pairs of wings is already comparable to a peak-level treasure. If I had two more pairs, wouldn't it be—the most powerful treasure?"
The Lord of Peixing examined the token in his hand repeatedly, his eight heads all frowning, and his sixteen arms unconsciously rubbing against each other.
"The Peak Realm... the same aura of wings as the wings behind me..."
He muttered to himself, his purple robe fluttering without wind, and the wings on his back trembling slightly, as if sensing something.
"Could there really be other winged treasures like mine? If I could obtain them and combine them into an ultimate treasure, wouldn't that be...?"
Thinking of this, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes, and the unease in his heart dissipated.
He suddenly stood up, transformed into a streak of purple light, and soared into the sky, heading straight for the ancestral land.
"Forget all the conspiracies and schemes, who can resist the allure of such a supreme treasure!"
At the edge of the Peak Realm lies Black Wind Canyon. In reality, it is not a canyon, but a silent void. It is called Black Wind Canyon by the powerful beings of various races in the Cosmic Sea because some pitch-black spatial rifts often appear here.
The three Lords of Purple Lightning were hiding behind a huge meteorite hundreds of light-years away, looking towards the canyon with sinister smiles on their faces.
Lord of Purple Lightning: "Hehe, that old guy should have received the message by now. Did my avatar in the clan pass the message on to him?"
"It should be soon," the Lord of Jade Star chuckled sinisterly. "That old bastard is incredibly greedy. If he knew there was another treasure just like his, he would definitely come out of curiosity!"
"Then let's wait. It takes time for them to come from the sacred land of their clan!" The Lord of Purple Lightning sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the struggle for the Flowing Cloud Palace has reached a fever pitch.
With the departure of the three from the Purple Moon Holy Land and the withdrawal of other races, a strange balance emerged on the originally chaotic battlefield.
The eighteen strongest individuals and thirty-five universe lords were divided into three forces, confronting each other, with none daring to make a rash move.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and a suffocating sense of oppression.
One of the forces, led by the strongest members of the Divine Eye Clan and the Demon and Insect Clans from the second era of reincarnation, along with the remaining ten Universe Lords of their respective clans, formed a powerful alliance.
When these people join forces, the moves they unleash are comparable to attacks at the tenth rank.
The other force is composed of the strongest beings in the original universe and the ruler of the universe.
It is composed of the strongest beings, including the Father God of the Mechanical Race, the Ancestor of the Crystal Race, the Ancestor of the Prison Race, the Ancestor of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Tremor Demon Ancestor, and the Mother Queen of the Insect Race.
The last group consists of seven lone strongest individuals and the Lord of the Universe.
They are also the strongest team individually. However, because they are not of the same race, their combined strength is actually less than that of the other two teams.
It is worth mentioning that even the Bone Demon Lord, the strongest eighth-tier expert of the Skeleton Clan, had to flee Flowing Cloud Valley in a sorry state under the combined attack of the Divine Eye Clan and their forces.
As for the human race, although Chu Yang and Giant Axe are the strongest at the level of combat power, with the addition of several universe masters such as Luo Feng, they can still unleash the attack power of the tenth rank.
They stood inside the Star Tower, silently observing the situation before them, their faces expressionless.
Outside the Flowing Cloud Palace, fragments of the broken treasures were scattered in the void like stars, shimmering with a dim light.
A strong, pungent smell of blood permeated the air, lingering even in the vacuum of space, making one feel nauseous.
Five days—just five days since the Flowing Cloud Palace was created—and of the more than eight thousand universe lords, less than sixty remain.
Among them, more than five thousand cosmic lords perished, most of whom did not have the ability to create clones and were completely destroyed.
Even the strongest among them, more than ten have fallen!
This number is enough to terrify any ethnic group.
In the vast universe, it is rare for even one of the strongest beings to fall, yet now, in just five days, more than ten have perished!
"Tsk tsk, that's really tragic."
The founder of the giant axe looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, "This Flowing Cloud Valley really is a graveyard of gods."
Chu Yang stood atop the Star Tower, overlooking the battlefield below, his expression calm and serene.
His gaze swept over the surviving cosmic lords, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
These people, each with blood on their hands, each reaped enormous benefits.
"These guys are really ruthless."
Luo Feng's voice came from behind Chu Yang, "For the treasure, they're willing to risk their lives."
"People die for wealth, birds die for food," Chu Yang said calmly. "This cosmic sea is inherently a world where the strong prey on the weak."
"However, their haul this time is truly substantial. I suspect every one of them who survived has collected a tremendous treasure!"
The founder of the giant axe grinned, his eyes gleaming with greed.
Chu Yang didn't speak, but simply watched the battlefield below.
This struggle is not over yet, and the final ownership of Liuyun Palace has not been determined.
In fact, the ownership of Liuyun Palace is no longer important. Everyone who is still here is thinking about eliminating the other teams and obtaining the treasures they possess!
Just then, a deafening explosion rang out, shaking the entire Flowing Cloud Valley.
"Not good!" Luo Feng's expression changed, and he shouted, "The Divine Eye Clan has made their move!"
In the distant void, the allied forces of the Divine Eye Clan and others suddenly launched an attack, their assault surging like a tidal wave toward the location of the Machine Clan Father God and others in the primordial universe.
Dozens of terrifying energy beams intertwined, forming a massive web of death.
"snort!"
The Mechanical Father God snorted coldly, and his massive mechanical body instantly emitted a dazzling silver light. "Since you're courting death, then so be it!"
The Crystal Clan Ancestor and the Prison Clan Ancestor also attacked simultaneously. The power of the three strongest beings merged into one, condensing into a dazzling pillar of light in the void, which collided fiercely with the attack from the Divine Eye Clan. (End of Chapter)
