I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 569 Nine Netherworlds

A gray mist churned as Chu Yang dodged an icicle with a clumsy effort. The cold air grazed his cheek, leaving a sharp, piercing pain.

They truly are special life forms!

Chu Yang cursed under his breath, pushing the Wood-Time Fusion Law to its limit. His figure flickered in the flow of time, barely avoiding the flames spewed by the purple head.

"Little bug, you can't escape!"

The orange head emitted a sharp shriek, and a bolt of lightning shot out like a venomous snake, heading straight for Chu Yang's back.

Chu Yang grunted, enduring the blow head-on. He felt numb all over, and the circulation of the laws within his body became somewhat sluggish.

"Hehehe, your death throes are truly amusing!"

The purple head said mockingly, "Witness my true power!"

The three heads shone brightly at the same time, with flames, lightning, and ice energies surging wildly and slowly merging, spreading out a chilling wave.

Chu Yang's expression turned solemn. This old monster really did have a backup plan!

The fusion of these three laws results in a power that is far more than a simple summation!

As the wounds on his body multiplied, the Wood-Time Fusion Law, though powerful, gradually began to show signs of weakness under the absolute suppression of power.

"Let's end this!"

The three heads of Venerable Sanqi roared in unison, and the fused energy transformed into a dazzling pillar of light, like a world-destroying divine punishment, crashing towards Chu Yang with earth-shattering power.

Chu Yang's lips curled into a cold smile, a sly glint in his eyes.

It was time! He deliberately slowed down, revealing a huge opening, as if trembling with fear.

"Hahaha! You're finally scared!"

Venerable Sanqi laughed triumphantly, and the beam of light moved even faster, about to engulf Chu Yang.

At this critical moment, an even more terrifying energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from Chu Yang's body!

Golden light, like the rising sun, instantly illuminated the entire chaotic space. The Golden Time Fusion Law, which he had kept hidden all along, finally erupted completely at this moment!

"What?!" Venerable Sanqi's three heads simultaneously revealed expressions of horror. This power... was even stronger than the fusion of his three laws!

"Kintoki: Dawn!"

With a roar, Chu Yang unleashed a golden light that coalesced into a giant axe, which, with unparalleled power, slashed fiercely at Venerable Sanqi!

The giant axe cleaved through the chaos, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The next moment, a deafening explosion rang out, and terrifying energy swept out, instantly dispelling the gray mist.

The massive body of Venerable Sanqi was cleaved in two by the giant axe, and his three heads rolled helplessly to the ground.

The divine body vanished into nothingness at that moment!

Before his death, Venerable Sanqi's eyes were filled with resentment and disbelief.

He never imagined that this seemingly weak human would possess such terrifying power!

Outside the world of Glory, the three cosmic lords and the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars were dumbfounded.

The Thunder Beast God's eyes widened, and the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

"This...how is this possible?!"

The golden light slowly dissipated, and Chu Yang's figure reappeared in the square.

The three Universe Lords had already surrounded them. The Thunder Beast God spoke first, his tone filled with undisguised shock: "Venerable Myriad Laws, you have truly given us a tremendous surprise! To actually defeat Venerable Sanqi, such strength is rare even among Universe Lords! Your Golden Time Fusion Law is almost complete, isn't it!"

"Just lucky," Chu Yang said with a modest smile.

"You remind me of the Lord of Qingfeng. He also followed the path of fusion with the laws of wood, but unfortunately he is already..." The Thunder Beast God said regretfully.

The difficulty of cultivating different types of fusion laws is indeed much greater, but once successful, the achievement is also frighteningly high.

"As per your agreement, these two treasures are now yours!"

With a wave of his hand, the guardian beast god tossed two high-grade treasures toward Chu Yang.

Chu Yang smiled faintly, put away the treasure, and his gaze fell on Venerable Sanqi, who was in a daze not far away.

Venerable Sanqi stood to the side, his face ashen, without uttering a word.

He snapped out of his daze, but his heart was in turmoil.

He, a top-tier cosmic overlord who had lived for countless years, was actually defeated by an immortal! This was an utter disgrace!

Their proud understanding of the laws and their meticulously researched secret techniques appeared utterly insignificant in front of Chu Yang.

Lord Wanxing, standing to the side, saw the two return to reality, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Although he didn't know how Chu Yang had defeated Venerable Sanqi, he could tell from Venerable Sanqi's face that he was absolutely unconvinced.

He immediately sent a telepathic message to Venerable Sanqi to inquire about the details of the battle. After listening, Lord Wanxing was not afraid at all; on the contrary, his fighting spirit was even higher.

"Venerable Master Wanfa, I would also like to learn from you!"

It's just a high-grade treasure, isn't it? As a unique and special life form that has traversed the primordial universe for trillions of years, he has several high-grade treasures in his possession. Even if he loses one, he doesn't really care.

Now, people are paying more attention to their appearance!

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Oh? You want to try it too?"

Lord Wanxing laughed heartily: "That's right! The wager is also a high-grade treasure! I have a common soul-type treasure here. Although it's just a common treasure, its value is definitely no less than that of a high-grade treasure!"

As he spoke, a crystal shimmering with a deep blue light appeared in his hand. Inside the crystal, it seemed as if a galaxy was flowing, radiating a soul-stirring energy.

"Can!"

Chu Yang's lips curled up slightly as he said, "I accept your challenge."

The Lord of Myriad Stars looked at the three Lords of the Universe: "Then I'll trouble the three of you to be witnesses once more!"

The two entered the world of Glory once again.

Without wasting words, Lord Wanxing immediately displayed his formidable power, gathering endless starlight to form a massive nebula vortex, attempting to trap Chu Yang within it.

At the center of the vortex, space is distorted and time is disordered, as if it is about to devour everything.

Chu Yang remained unfazed, unleashing the Golden Time Fusion Law once more. Golden light, like a sharp sword, tore through the nebula and disrupted spacetime.

The forces of time and space collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

Lord Wanxing sneered, "Do you think you're the only one who can manipulate time and space?"

He formed a hand seal, and the nebula vortex suddenly accelerated its rotation, generating an even stronger suction force that seemed to pull out Chu Yang's soul.

Chu Yang groaned, feeling a sharp pain in his soul. The Golden Hour Fusion Law seemed to be suppressed.

This Lord of Ten Thousand Stars is indeed quite skilled. His Nebula Vortex not only contains powerful spatial energy, but also incorporates soul attacks!

In this world of glory, Chu Yang did not have a soul palace to guard him, so he seemed somewhat flustered when faced with soul attacks.

Those who can become top-tier cosmic overlords all possess ultimate secret techniques. Chu Yang also created two ultimate secret techniques at the cosmic overlord level by relying on the Golden Time Fusion Law, but it was still not enough!

"A myriad of stars fall from the sky!"

Lord Wanxing roared, and the dark blue nebula vortex suddenly contracted before exploding!

Countless fragments of stars, imbued with terrifying soul power, rained down like a meteor shower, crashing towards Chu Yang.

Each "meteor" contains enough power to annihilate a cosmic lord; this is the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, a cosmic overlord!

Chu Yang remained expressionless, golden light swirling around him, the power of time and space intertwining to form an indestructible barrier.

"Golden Time - Eternity!" The deep voice echoed. This was also an ultimate secret technique of the universe's overlord level, using offense as defense and defense as offense!

The golden barrier not only blocked the "Meteor Shower" attack, but also reflected the soul attack contained within it back.

Lord Wanxing grunted, clearly not expecting Chu Yang's defense to be so formidable.

But he didn't panic. Instead, he sneered, "A mere trick! You think you can stop me like that?"

The nebula vortex coalesced once more, and this time, a massive blue star emerged within it, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"Oh? It seems you have a backup plan."

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He did not rush to attack, but instead kept observing the Star Lord's attack methods, looking for his weaknesses.

The Lord of Myriad Stars manipulated the blue stars, launching continuous attacks on Chu Yang, each attack containing destructive power.

Chu Yang, relying on the defense of "Golden Time - Eternity", resolved the crisis time and time again.

In the fierce battle, Chu Yang gradually discovered a weakness of the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars: although his use of the laws of time was exquisite, it was not as proficient as his own!

The Time Law of the Myriad Stars Lord is more used to assist the Space Law and enhance the power of attacks, while Chu Yang's Time Law is purer and more flexible.

"Found it!"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.

He seized an opening in the Star Lord's attack and abruptly accelerated time! Everything around him seemed to slow down, except for Chu Yang's astonishing speed. He transformed into a golden light, instantly passing through the nebula vortex and arriving before the Star Lord.

Lord Wanxing was terrified and tried to escape, but it was too late.

A golden light flashed in Chu Yang's hand, and a golden longsword formed from the fusion of the Golden Time Law appeared out of thin air. With the power to tear through space and time, it fiercely pierced towards the core of the Myriad Star Lord!

With a dull thud, the golden longsword pierced the core of the Star Lord.

Lord of Myriad Stars let out a shrill scream, his massive body trembled violently, and the eerie blue light quickly dimmed.

The massive body of the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars crashed to the ground, like a extinguished star, extinguished without a trace of light.

The battle world of Glory collapsed, and Chu Yang and the consciousness of Lord Wanxing were forcibly ejected.

In the plaza, the three universe lords stared at Chu Yang, their eyes filled with shock.

The wine cup in the Thunder Beast God's hand slipped again and shattered. He stammered, "You...you won again?"

The guardian beast god took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Truly, the younger generation is formidable! Venerable Wanfa, your comprehension of the laws has likely surpassed most universe overlords and is comparable to some weaker universe lords!"

"Haha, Venerable Wanfa, your Golden Time Fusion Law is simply monstrous! In all my years of traversing the universe, this is the first time I've ever seen such a subtle fusion law."

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds laughed heartily, his eyes full of admiration.

Chu Yang smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "You flatter me, seniors. I was just lucky."

Lord Wanxing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He never expected that he would be defeated by an immortal, and twice in a row!

This was an utter humiliation for him! Gritting his teeth, he reluctantly tossed the dark blue soul crystal to Chu Yang, "Here you go! A bet's a bet!"

Chu Yang took the precious crystal and examined it carefully. This precious crystal was not only a soul defense treasure, but it also contained extremely pure soul power, which would greatly help him cultivate the secret techniques of the soul.

As for the high-grade treasure spear of Venerable Sanqi, Chu Yang doesn't really need it and plans to offer it to the clan's treasury after returning to the human territory!

He nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Wanxing."

Lord Wanxing snorted coldly, turned around and left, not wanting to stay here a moment longer.

"Venerable Wanfa, what are your plans next?" asked the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"I plan to visit the secret realm next," Chu Yang replied, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He had already visited the three treasure lands of the Ancestral God Sect: the Land of Inheritance and the Land of Treasures, and had gained a lot from them. Now, only this secret realm remained.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest, "Oh? To the secret realm? Could it be that Venerable Wanfa is also interested in the many beings within the secret realm?"

The most famous creatures in the secret realm are the various special life forms.

In the entire primordial universe, the place with the most special life forms is undoubtedly the Ancestral God Cult.

Within the Ancestral God Cult, most of the special life forms live in secret realms.

Only those who are inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect can enter this secret realm.

While these rules restrict the freedom of special life forms, they also greatly ensure the safety of those special life forms in the secret realm.

Chu Yang did not hide anything and frankly admitted, "To be honest, I do want to obtain a branch from the World Tree."

"A branch of the World Tree? Venerable Wanfa, you want to take a piece and plant it in your own divine kingdom, don't you!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds laughed heartily, his voice causing the surrounding space to ripple slightly: "Venerable One of Ten Thousand Laws is indeed frank. Since that's the case, why not join my lineage? If you agree, I will personally go to the World Tree and ask for a branch for you, how about it?"

Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat. Joining the lineage of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds? This was unexpected. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What is there for this junior to do upon joining your lineage, senior?"

"Haha, Venerable Wanfa, don't worry. Once you join my lineage, there will be no restrictions. You can still be as free as ever. The only requirement is that if the Ancestral God Sect ever needs your help, you can lend a hand once," the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds said heartily, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

This condition wasn't too harsh on Chu Yang. After all, the Ancestral God Sect had protected the human race for so many years, and if it really came down to a life-or-death situation, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

"In that case, I am willing to join the lineage of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds." Chu Yang immediately agreed.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was overjoyed and quickly said, "Good! Good! Good! Venerable Wanfa is indeed a straightforward person! Don't worry, I will go and obtain a branch of the World Tree for you right away!"

Chu Yang cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, senior! However, I still prefer to ask for it myself. I appreciate your kindness!"

"Very well. Although the World Tree Clan is gentle in nature, they have many rules. Your personal visit will show your sincerity."

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds nodded approvingly: "How about this, I'll give you a token first. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the secret realm, and even directly enter Tree Island."

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant that emitted a faint green light and handed it to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang did not refuse the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' kindness this time. At this moment, Chu Yang's goodwill towards this cosmic lord with a huge divine body also increased greatly.

"No need to be so polite. We are now of the same lineage, and from now on, we are family!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was in a great mood and waved his hand, "You can come to me anytime. If you need any help, just ask!"

After thanking him again, Chu Yang took his leave. (End of Chapter)
