Chapter 599 Human Summit
The next day.
"Junior brother, are you ready?" the Chaos City Lord asked with a smile.
"Ready, Senior Brother." Chu Yang nodded.
"Then let's go." The Lord of Chaos waved his hand and flew into the sky with Chu Yang.
The two flew for a long time and soon arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
The palace is entirely cast from an unknown black metal, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
This place is also known as the Temple of the Giant Axe!
The palace gates were tightly closed, with two rows of guards in silver armor standing on either side.
Each of these guards possessed a powerful aura; they were all powerful beings at the level of Universe Venerables!
Chu Yang was secretly astonished. As expected of the venue for the highest-level meeting of the human race, such a grand occasion was truly breathtaking.
The Lord of Chaos City led Chu Yang to the palace gate, where two guards immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Lord of Chaos City."
The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly and said, "Open the gate."
"Yes." The two guards respectfully opened the palace gates.
Chu Yang followed the Lord of Chaos City into the palace, where he found the interior to be extremely simple.
In the center of the main hall, there is a long stone table with only one stone chair in the main seat, but there are rows of stone chairs on both sides.
At this time, more than a dozen people were already sitting on these stone chairs.
Each of these people possessed an aura as profound as an abyss, clearly indicating that they were all beings at the level of universe masters.
The Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice, and their fellow disciples have all arrived; only the Lord of Chaos City and Chu Yang are missing.
Chu Yang immediately spotted a burly figure sitting in the main seat.
The man was over 300 meters tall, with a rugged face, thick fingers, and long, disheveled hair, resembling a savage giant.
He exuded an aura of unparalleled dominance, like an ancient war god, making people dare not look him in the eye.
"The founder of the giant axe!" Chu Yang's heart trembled.
When the founder of the giant axe saw the Lord of Chaos City and Chu Yang, he nodded slightly as a greeting.
The Lord of Chaos led Chu Yang to the empty seat on the left and gestured for him to sit down.
After Chu Yang took his seat, he calmly surveyed his surroundings. Besides the giant axe, there were more than a dozen universe lords, each with an unfathomable aura, making him feel an invisible pressure.
These are the pillars of humankind, rarely seen on ordinary days, yet they have gathered here today.
"Chu Yang, we only learned of your arrival as a Universe Lord based on information from the Lord of Chaos City. That's why we've gathered here today!"
The founder of the giant axe spoke in a booming voice, his tone tinged with a hint of satisfaction.
Other universe lords also offered their congratulations. Although some of them sounded a bit perfunctory, it was clear that they didn't have much of an opinion about Chu Yang.
After all, we are all human, and the more powerful humans there are, the better.
Chu Yang and the Lord of Chaos City had thought that everyone might have doubts about Chu Yang's strength, but at this moment, not a single person had any doubts.
Although Chu Yang has now broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, before breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, Chu Yang was merely an Immortal.
How many eras have passed? And they already possess the combat power of a universe lord?
Even if you break through to the level of a Universe Venerable, a Universe Venerable and a Universe Lord are completely different things!
As soon as Chu Yang sat down, a Universe Lord clad in dark gold armor with a cold and stern face spoke up. His voice was deep and tinged with doubt: "Chaos, I have also heard about Chu Yang's breakthrough to the Universe Lord realm, but... the gap between a Universe Venerable and a Universe Lord is like an insurmountable chasm. How can he prove that he possesses the strength of a Universe Lord?"
"It's undeniable that the One Beginning School founded by Chu Yang is of great significance to humanity, but every one of us here has reached the level of a Universe Lord!"
The speaker was none other than the Lord of Qi Huo of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, whose strength was close to that of a fourth-tier Cosmic Lord, and who also held considerable prestige among the human race.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately became subtle after the Lord of Qi Huo uttered these words.
Several other universe lords also began to whisper among themselves, but their gazes remained fixed on Chu Yang, filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
They were also secretly looking forward to Chu Yang's next performance. Was the Lord of Chaos exaggerating, or did this Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws really have the strength of a Lord of the Universe?
After all, the birth of a new ruler of the universe is of great significance to the human race.
Chu Yang remained calm. Faced with the questioning of the Lord of Qi Huo, he did not argue, but instead slowly released a trace of his aura of pressure.
This aura was vast and powerful, yet restrained and profound, like a lurking dragon, instantly sweeping across the entire hall.
Chu Yang's current divine body is a perfect divine body, and after his spiritual embryo tempering reached the third level of perfection, he is no less than a second-order universe master!
"Hmm?" The Lord of Qi Huo raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The intensity of this aura has clearly reached the level of a second-order universe lord!
The other universe lords also felt the oppressive aura emanating from Chu Yang, and their faces showed shock.
It's unbelievable that they could possess such power in just a few eras!
Seeing this, the Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "Everyone, Junior Brother Chu Yang not only possesses the combat power of a Universe Lord, but also has mastered the secret technique of reversing time and space."
"Reversing time?"
The voice of the Giant Axe Founder, booming like a bell, echoed in the hall, "Chaos, is this truly true?"
The Lord of Chaos City nodded solemnly: "It is absolutely true. I have confirmed that Junior Brother Chu Yang has successfully reversed time and space and resurrected his fallen clansmen."
Upon hearing this, the hall fell completely silent.
Reversing time and resurrecting one's people—this is one of the most important and iconic abilities of the Lord of the Universe!
If Chu Yang truly possesses this ability, then he is undoubtedly a genuine ruler of the universe!
The founder of the giant axe stared intently at Chu Yang and asked in a deep voice, "Chu Yang, have you truly mastered the secret technique of reversing time and space?"
Chu Yang calmly met the gaze of the Giant Axe Founder and slowly nodded: "Reporting to the Giant Axe Founder, this junior has indeed mastered this secret technique."
The founder of the giant axe laughed heartily, his voice resounding throughout the universe: "Good! Good! Good! Our human race has gained another pillar!"
With the approval of the Giant Axe Founder and the corroboration of Chu Yang's own aura, the other universe lords naturally had no further objections.
Peng Gongzhi jokingly added, "Now, the Virtual Universe Company has one more Universe Master than the Giant Axe Arena!"
Upon hearing this, several universe lords from the Virtual Universe Company couldn't help but laugh, with the Chaos City Lord beaming with pride and satisfaction.
The booming laughter of the founder of the giant axe echoed throughout the hall.
The laughter contained both recognition of Chu Yang's strength and expectations for the future of the human race.
After the laughter subsided, the Giant Axe Founder's expression turned serious, and he said, "Chu Yang, as is customary, everyone who breaks through to the Universe Lord level receives a reward. You are now no different from a Universe Lord, so the clan has decided to bestow upon you a top-tier treasure."
He paused, his eyes barely concealing his amusement: "What type of treasure do you desire?"
Chu Yang already had a plan in mind; he had carefully considered this issue before coming here.
Although top-tier offensive treasures are incredibly powerful, for him, the improvement isn't that significant; survival is the most important thing.
After all, he doesn't have the ability to create clones. Once he falls, it's uncertain whether he can be resurrected. Even if he is resurrected, he will lose his treasures and other items, which means his combat power will be reduced!
Moreover, you can only enjoy everything if you're alive!
After a moment's thought, Chu Yang slowly said, "I want a top-tier treasure of the palace type."
These words sparked a low murmur of discussion within the hall.
Peng Gongzhi stroked his chin and chuckled, "This kid is quite cautious."
The Lord of False Gold had a knowing look on his face: "I knew he would choose this."
Palace-type treasures are considered special treasures, and their value is much higher than that of ordinary top-tier treasures. In terms of value, they can even be compared to some inferior peak treasures.
The founder of the giant axe seemed to have anticipated Chu Yang's choice. He nodded, waved his hand, and a palace model the size of a palm appeared before everyone.
The palace model shimmered with seven colors, dazzling and beautiful, yet it exuded a suffocating pressure.
"This treasure is called 'Yutian Palace' and is one of the most precious treasures in our clan's collection."
The powerful voice of the Giant Axe Founder echoed in the hall. Pointing to the radiant palace model, he continued, "It possesses formidable defensive capabilities. Even the strongest beings in the universe would find it difficult to breach it due to the limitations of the primordial universe."
Chu Yang received the Yu Tian Palace with both hands. It was slightly cool to the touch, and a vast energy fluctuation flowed into his body through his fingertips, making him secretly excited.
This was the treasure he had been dreaming of! He had already planned it out. He had the Soul Palace for soul defense, and his biggest weakness now was his divine body.
Firstly, because he hadn't created any particularly good defensive techniques; secondly, because his divine body wasn't very large, compared to those cosmic lords who were hundreds or thousands of kilometers tall, he was practically a tiny speck.
With the Yutian Palace, he could practically roam freely in the primordial universe. Even if he encountered the strongest being in the universe, as long as he hid in the palace's treasures in time, he would be virtually invincible.
Even if they go to the Cosmic Sea, the strongest beings in the universe, unless they have a supreme treasure of the highest level to seal them, will not be able to harm them in the slightest!
Chu Yang had already donated the ordinary palace treasure that Puti had given him to his clan.
"Thank you, founder of the Giant Axe!" Chu Yang suppressed his excitement and bowed respectfully.
The founder of the giant axe laughed heartily, his voice booming: "Chu Yang, I hope you can make good use of this treasure and make greater contributions to the clan."
Chu Yang nodded solemnly and took the Yutian Palace into his inner world.
The Lord of Illusory Gold suddenly asked, "By the way, Chu Yang, now that you've become the Lord of the Universe, will you continue to use the title of Lord of All Laws, or will you choose another title?"
Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think the title 'Lord of All Laws' is quite fitting, so let's continue using it."
The Lord of Void Gold nodded and said, "Now that you have broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, you should also be qualified to know some of the secrets of your race."
He paused, his expression turning serious, and said, "Lord of All Laws, do you know... the Cosmic Sea?"
Chu Yang's heart stirred; he had naturally heard of the Cosmic Sea.
That is the vast space beyond the primordial universe, filled with endless dangers and opportunities, and the main battlefield where the strongest beings in the universe compete.
He nodded and said, feigning calmness, "I've heard a little about it."
In fact, Chu Yang was already quite familiar with these situations, but he still listened to the Lord of Void Gold explain them to him again.
The Lord of Illusory Gold said, "The primordial universe also experiences rise and fall, and it has a certain time limit. We call each process of rise and fall of the primordial universe a cycle of reincarnation!"
"Within the cosmic sea, there are at most three powerful figures from different eras of reincarnation!"
"Aside from the primordial universe, the others are respectively called the First Cycle Era and the Second Cycle Era! But neither of them can enter the primordial universe!"
"Once they survive the three great cycles of reincarnation, even the strongest beings in the universe cannot escape their demise. Therefore, in order to live forever, they have become extremely insane!"
"Of course, after a long period of time, their strength has become incredibly formidable! Even we, including the Lord of Chaos City, might not be a match for those universe lords from the era of reincarnation!"
"The cosmic sea is more dangerous than you imagine."
The Lord of False Gold's voice deepened, "At least the primordial universe had the suppression of the fundamental laws governing its operation, but the Cosmic Sea is a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak. The law of the jungle is vividly displayed there."
He paused, then continued, "In the vast universe, our human race can only be considered an emerging force, far less established than those ancient races that have existed for several cycles of reincarnation."
The cosmic ocean is vast and boundless; the area we have explored so far is merely the tip of the iceberg. The cosmic ocean maps that humanity has obtained so far are just a drop in the ocean!
Chu Yang listened quietly, knowing that what the Lord of Void Gold was about to say was the key point.
"Besides the powerhouses of the first and second reincarnation eras, there are two extremely special forces in the cosmic sea, known as the Holy Land Universe."
A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Void Gold: "They are the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe and the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, respectively. These two holy land universes are truly eternal existences, unaffected by the changing of the cycle of reincarnation."
"Eternal existence?" Chu Yang's heart stirred. These two were beings who had successfully transcended reincarnation.
"Yes, it will exist forever!"
The Lord of Void Gold said solemnly, "The strength of these two powerful figures from the Holy Land universe is unfathomable."
As far as we know, within this sacred universe, there are numerous beings at the level of Universe Lords, and they are generally extremely powerful; quite a few possess the strength of a sixth-tier Universe Lord.
"The universe masters who are able to venture out for training are generally at the fifth-tier universe master level!"
"The Holy Land Universe..."
Chu Yang repeated these words over and over, but in his heart he was unconvinced.
The founders of these two sacred universes, namely the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and the Purple Moon Ancestor, were both beings who had transcended reincarnation. However, at this time, their true forms were not in the Cosmic Sea, but on the Origin Continent.
In other words, what they left behind in the cosmic sea was merely an avatar.
In the original story, when their universes were being devoured by the World Beasts, they could only watch helplessly as the World Beasts feasted on them.
The Lord of Void Gold, unaware of his thoughts, said in a deep voice, "Therefore, Chu Yang, before you have sufficient strength, do not step into the Cosmic Sea. The dangers there far exceed your imagination."
Having said all that, the Lord of Void Gold stopped there. He had sent a copy of the maps discovered by humans via the virtual universe to Chu Yang. Whether Chu Yang went to the Cosmic Sea was up to him. (End of Chapter)
