Chapter 183, Xuanbing Palace
Chapter 183, Xuanbing Palace
On the original star numbered 00001, the branches and leaves of the Qingyu bamboo, at an altitude of millions of kilometers, swayed and rustled.
"I wonder what kind of supreme treasure will emerge from Tuoyan Valley. But I also have a Xuanbing Seal here, which will be emerging soon. I might not be able to catch it twice." As the branches and leaves swayed, a seal exuding a strong cold aura appeared in front of Qingyuzhu. This was the token of the top-level treasure Xuanbing Palace, one of her greatest gains in the past hundreds of thousands of years.
It has been confirmed that the Xuanbing Palace is a top-tier palace treasure, its value no less than that of the Starry Sky Realm that Ye Muxuan obtained. Moreover, for Qing Yuzhu, who already possesses a high-level treasure, a top-tier palace treasure is clearly more tempting than a top-tier treasure like the Tuoyan Valley, whose type is still unknown.
Only by possessing top-tier palace treasures can she truly gain a foothold in the Northern Frontier Alliance. At that time, even the strongest beings in the universe will not be able to kill her in the primordial universe.
It is not yet known whether these two top-tier treasures will appear at the same time. If that is the case, then another powerful expert will be needed.
Qing Yuzhu thought of Huo Sang, Xuan Gui, and that little guy Ye Muxuan.
Of these three, the Xuan Turtle is slightly weaker, but after Ye Muxuan entered the Venerable realm, his Qingyu Bamboo clone is no less powerful than mine. If the events start around the same time, and I can't catch up, I can let him try.
Having made up his mind, the Qingyu Bamboo swayed its branches and settled down on the 00001 Primitive Star.
……
In the 330,000th year of Ye Muxuan's reign over the Purgatory Abyss, the Xuanbing Palace opened. Qing Yuzhu entered with the Xuanbing Seal, along with a Universe Lord. Including Qing Yuzhu, there were a total of four top Universe Overlords and nineteen Universe Overlords.
Ten years later, Tuoyan Valley opened. Qing Yuzhu, who had not yet left Xuanbing Palace, arranged for an avatar to give the token, the crystal pillar, to Ye Muxuan's Qing Yuzhu avatar, so that he could enter Tuoyan Valley on the condition that if he finally obtained the most precious treasure, he would have to give her half of it.
Ye Muxuan agreed.
Ninety years later, the gates of the Xuanbing Palace opened again. Twenty-four powerful figures entered, and thirteen emerged. Rumors circulated that the treasure hunt culminated in a chaotic battle, ultimately resulting in the deaths of two top-tier cosmic overlords and nine others. The cosmic overlord lost 43% of his divine body, while Qing Yuzhu lost 32%. In the end, they seized the supreme palace treasure, the Xuanbing Palace, along with the supreme weapon treasure, the Yin Lotus Staff, and several other high-level treasures.
That cosmic lord seized a top-tier armor treasure, as well as several other high-level treasures.
Meanwhile, the avatar of the Thousand Blaze, inside the Tuoyan Valley, was unaware of the situation outside. With his two arms gripping two top-tier treasures, the Cracked Mace, he slammed the maces down with tremendous force, fueled by burning divine power.
The space within the temple shattered, transforming into a stream of the most basic spatial particles.
The opponent was a cosmic overlord. Under this blow, his divine body suffered a direct loss of 21%, even with the protection of the Supreme Armor—although the power of this blow had exceeded the upper limit of the Supreme Armor, greatly reducing the weakening effect.
Facing an opponent whose divine body was reduced to only 14%, the clone of the Thousand Jade slammed down again, instantly annihilating the opponent.
With a swift movement, it swept up the World Ring, two ordinary treasures, and some fragments of precious artifacts. The enormous single eye glanced into the distance before finally entering a passage.
Unlike the trials in the Starry Sky Temple, the interior of Tuoyan Valley is a maze of passages. The twenty-four powerful individuals who enter randomly choose a passage to enter, and the first one to reach the end will be able to obtain the supreme treasure.
There were also some scattered treasures along the way. For example, the clone of the Thousand Jade obtained two ordinary treasures and one high-grade treasure.
Similarly, the clone of the unicorn showed no mercy to the opponents it encountered along the way. The passages along the way kept converging and diverging, and now the third cosmic overlord has died at its hands.
Don't assume that it's easy to walk straight to the end of a passage. As soon as the clone entered the passage, it encountered a cosmic overlord and got stuck in an illusion, unable to distinguish reality from illusion.
Without the unwavering will of a cosmic overlord, one could easily fall into an illusion. Fortunately, the clone of the Jadeite has no soul, so this kind of illusion is useless against it.
Along the way, this was the first cosmic overlord he had seen who was in a conscious state. The previous two were in an illusion and were killed by him with a single blow.
After traveling approximately several million kilometers, the clone of the Jadeite slowly came to a stop. This time, the opponent it would face was an alien race with the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord from the Nine Domains Alliance.
If they were outside, even cosmic overlords would not be killed, let alone top cosmic overlords. Once they were allowed into the palace treasure, with the current strength of the avatar, it would be impossible for it to break through the palace treasure's defenses.
However, entering the palace's treasure here is tantamount to forfeiting one's qualification; one will be directly teleported to the temple entrance, waiting for the temple gates to reopen.
After exchanging three blows, the supreme treasure armor of the top cosmic overlord could not withstand the supreme treasure mace of the avatar of the celestial being, and he directly lost 12% of his divine body. In fright, he immediately took out an ordinary palace treasure and was about to hide inside.
The clone activated the Star Realm, a top-tier domain treasure, suppressing the top cosmic overlord. The two long maces also activated their second layer of secret runes, smashing down repeatedly with astonishing power.
"Shadow Blade! I'm withdrawing from this treasure hunt!" The supreme armor on the top cosmic overlord groaned as it struggled to fend off the attacks of the Divine Blade clone while transmitting its divine power. His top-tier domain treasure had been shattered by the Starry Sky Realm, barely able to protect his surroundings. Although he had brought out his palace treasure, it was bound by the Starry Sky Realm and had no chance of entering.
"You can withdraw, but hand over the treasures you obtained on the way." The attack of the clone of the Thousand Jade did not slow down. The top-level treasure mace, which activated the second layer of secret runes, combined with the two self-created peak secret techniques of the universe overlord, and his understanding of the laws became more and more profound in the battle.
Sure enough, fighting against strong opponents of the same level is more effective, especially for someone like me who is stuck in a bottleneck.
"You!" The top-tier cosmic overlord was somewhat aggrieved, but under the suppression of the Starry Realm, even activating only the first level of the secret rune, he had no chance of escaping. "Fine!"
The clone of the unicorn slammed down with its long mace, slowing its attack. Taking advantage of this, the top cosmic overlord entered the palace's treasure. Looking at his remaining 21% of his divine body, he felt both frustrated and alarmed.
This cloak is merely an avatar of the Shadow Blade Venerable, yet its strength is far too great. Even while wearing the Supreme Treasure Armor, it was still beaten like this. It must truly possess the strength of a Universe Lord.
Before being teleported to the entrance of the temple, the top cosmic overlord tossed out three ordinary treasures.
Among the strong, treachery, cunning, and ruthlessness are all acceptable, but they still have a sense of shame. Since he has already begged for mercy, there's no need to lie about this. He promised to bring out the treasure he found on the road, and he certainly will.
However, he suffered a huge loss in this battle at Tuoyan Valley.
