Chapter 176, Taking Charge
Chapter 176, Taking Charge
Fifty thousand years ago, Morning Star's comprehension of the laws reached a bottleneck. She had been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City, rarely appearing in public and seldom personally engaging in battle. The killing field was, after all, virtual and could not replace reality, so she prepared to step into the outer battlefield.
As a master of mental energy, Ye Muxuan prepared a simple yet powerful set of wings for her, instructing her to comprehend the secret runes on the wings before venturing into the outer battlefield. Now, training on the sixth battlefield of the outer battlefield, codenamed "Spark," she is considered one of the strongest realm lord generals among the hundred military bases of the sixth battlefield.
As for the other three children, they haven't had enough fun yet. The youngest, Le Yun, is doing well, but the third and fourth are still having a blast in the various secret realms of the Mingyou Universe Kingdom. When Ye Muxuan met the King of Mingyou in Hongmeng City, the latter mentioned it once, but after Ye Muxuan gifted him an ordinary supreme treasure armor, the King of Mingyou had nothing more to say.
The Lord of Mingyou Kingdom is an even more ancient being than the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, and his strength is far greater; he is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a cosmic overlord. Now that he possesses the supreme treasure armor for self-preservation, he will naturally be able to perform even better on the Primordial Star, so those trivial matters are no longer a concern.
They're just kids, nothing more. Besides, you've all lived for tens of thousands or billions of years and have been ennobled as kings and nobles. Why are you arguing with a few children? That's just too much, isn't it...?
……
As expected, Yan Tong and Qing Que couldn't hold back any longer. Ten thousand years after breaking through to immortality, they both chose to break through, directly becoming high-level Marquises, though they didn't directly become Kings. However, due to their twenty times stronger genes, their strength was comparable to that of Kings. Thirty thousand years later, Lian Feng, following Qing Que's wishes, married and had children, suddenly having three wives and four concubines. After having twelve children, he also broke through to immortality in one fell swoop, reaching the peak of Marquis status and possessing the combat power of a King.
Even excluding clan leader Ye Muxuan, the Qingyuan Clan now has five immortals. With the help of the powerful treasure, Lianfeng is already comparable to a king.
Moreover, Ye Muxuan, as the clan leader, also made a promise to the Grand Elder Zhong Li and the future: whoever can reach the strength of a King, he will give them an ordinary treasure in the name of the Qingyuan Clan, even if it is only for a Grand Elder to reach the strength of a King later.
As for Yan Tong Qing Que's cultivation level not yet reaching the King level, yet she already possesses a powerful treasure... As her husband, is there a problem with Ye Mu Xuan giving her several powerful treasures for protection?
……
The original star numbered 00001 was once the birthplace of a major component of a top-tier treasure armor set, and later a Netherworld Sword Seal also appeared. Therefore, a cosmic lord from the Northern Frontier Alliance is stationed here on this original star.
Consequently, many high-ranking Venerables of the Northern Frontier Alliance also made this place their base camp.
In the two million years since the Primordial Star was created, two top-tier treasures have been born on this Primordial Star. However, because the Universe Lord of the Northern Frontier Alliance is stationed here, other forces have tacitly accepted that this is the territory of the Northern Frontier Alliance and rarely come here.
In the primeval forest of the southern part of the primordial star, a bamboo, millions of kilometers tall and as green as jade, stands silently. The powerful figures of the Northern Frontier Alliance all know that this is Qingyu Bamboo, a solitary, top-tier cosmic overlord who joined the alliance hundreds of thousands of years ago.
As a special life form with an extremely high gene pool, many cosmic overlords of the Northern Frontier Alliance have offered to exchange a bamboo branch with Qing Yuzhu as material for creating a clone. Some did so for their disciples, others for their clansmen, or for their exceptionally talented descendants, hoping to nurture a clone of Qing Yuzhu, but Qing Yuzhu refused them all.
Some cosmic overlords were uncomfortable about this, but they could only endure it. After all, there was once a cosmic ruler who used this as an excuse to cause trouble, but in the end, he was beaten by the enraged Qing Yuzhu, losing 27% of his divine body and becoming depressed on the spot.
In the end, the Lord of the Star River intervened to mediate the matter, and the two sides reached an unresolved settlement.
However, this also led many special life forms and ordinary races to attach themselves to Qing Yuzhu, because they truly felt safe under her command. After all, those nine clones, each possessing 80% of the original's strength, along with Qing Yuzhu herself, were like ten top-tier cosmic overlords beating up a single cosmic master—the scene was, wow, incredibly brutal.
Especially with the onlookers, Huosang and Xuan Turtle, both eager to try, possessing divine bodies millions of kilometers in length, and Huosang Tree's divine body even reaching a height of twenty million kilometers, they were truly no match for them.
Later, Ye Muxuan entered the Venerable realm, and Qing Yuzhu's clone also reached the strength of a top-tier universe overlord. Qing Yuzhu was essentially a member of the clan with the strength of two top-tier universe overlords. Although the Northern Frontier Alliance had hundreds of universe lords, Qing Yuzhu's strength and status could definitely rank in the top 100.
If Qing Yuzhu's treasures weren't somewhat lacking—only her weapon treasures were top-tier, and she didn't possess top-tier palace treasures—she could easily be considered a cosmic ruler.
At a certain moment, a special energy fluctuation was transmitted in a mighty wave. The branches and leaves of the Qingyu Bamboo swayed, looking into the distance, and then flew away through the air.
Judging from the intensity of its aura, it should be either an ordinary treasure or a top-tier treasure set.
……
Virtual universe, Thunder Island, mountain peak.
In the endless chaotic air currents, two imposing figures sat on either side of a stone table.
"Mu Xuan greets his senior uncle." Ye Mu Xuan, who had just sat down, looked at the Chaos City Lord opposite him and greeted him.
"Sit." The Lord of Chaos City poured a cup of wine into the glass in front of Ye Muxuan. The bluish-green liquid looked particularly mysterious. "Haven't you been to Chaos City lately?"
"I created my own secret techniques in the Divine Kingdom." Ye Muxuan was not reserved. He came here after receiving a message from the Lord of Chaos City; otherwise, he would not have had this authority.
The palaces on Thunder Island are extremely private; no outsider is allowed to trespass. Even Ye Muxuan's palace, and even the creator of the giant axe, cannot enter.
"That's good too." The Chaos City Lord nodded. This little guy wasn't blinded by his current achievements and was still trying to improve himself, which was quite good. He then continued, "Since you're not going to explore the Primal Star right now, I happen to have a mission here that requires you to go."
Ye Muxuan raised his wine glass, took a sip of the bluish-green liquid, and slowly savored it.
"Please speak frankly, Uncle-Master." Ye Muxuan put down his wine cup and said, "If there's anything I can do, I'll do it."
"Since that's the case, then I'll be frank." The Chaos City Lord looked at Ye Muxuan and said, "The Purgatory Abyss of the Primordial Secret Realm is currently lacking a cosmic overlord to oversee it. The previous overseer was Emperor Hai Venerable, who recommended you to me, wanting you to oversee it for ten thousand epochs. What do you think?"
Emperor Hai, the eldest disciple of the Ice Peak Lord, possesses strength comparable to Guiyi, the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord. He is also a cosmic overlord who has fully comprehended the laws of space. He is currently only one step away from fully mastering the laws of time; taking that step will make him a cosmic master.
At the Venerable Banquet, he had interacted with Ye Muxuan. Although Ye Muxuan was arrogant, he had the right to be. Unfortunately, he was also trapped in the final step of the Endless Era, and no one knew when he would be able to break through.
