Chapter 656 Forcing the Purple Moon Holy Land
Chapter 656 Forcing the Purple Moon Holy Land
Inside the Star Tower, Chu Yang and his two companions waited quietly.
After a long while, seeing that there was no more movement outside, Chu Yang finally spoke, "It seems they were scared out of their wits and actually went back."
Giant Axe laughed loudly, "Of course! Don't you know who we are? Daring to mess with us, this is what happens!"
Luo Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Star Tower, and said, "This time the harvest was not bad. Killing so many of the Dream Demon Ancestor's subordinates can be considered as venting my anger."
A cold glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes as he said, "This is just the beginning. Our goal is to annihilate the entire demon race!"
Giant Axe and Luo Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement and killing intent in each other's eyes.
In the distance, some cosmic lords were gazing in terror toward the Star Tower, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
Since humans were able to hunt down this group of demons, they might be able to wipe them out too!
These cosmic lords and strongest beings watched in disbelief as Chu Yang and his group swept away the demon race like autumn leaves, their hearts filled with immense shock.
They had never seen such a powerful human force, nor did they expect that humans would dare to so blatantly provoke the demon race.
With the annihilation of the two demon clan teams, an eerie atmosphere began to permeate Flowing Cloud Valley.
The surviving factions, who were initially just observing, are now starting to stir.
"Damn it, these human brats are incredibly audacious! They actually dared to wipe out two of the Dream Demon Ancestor's teams right under our noses!"
"The strongest being, made of metal, said through gritted teeth."
"Hmph, I think they're tired of living! Do they really think they're invincible?" Another burly man with a pair of huge fleshy wings on his back sneered.
However, many of the strongest individuals fell into deep thought.
They realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The demon race suffered heavy losses and its strength was greatly reduced. In the future, its status in the primordial universe will also decline significantly!
This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation and weaken our competitors!
This idea, like a seed, quickly spread among various forces.
The fifth and sixth True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
"Our Divine Eye Clan still has ten Universe Lords. With the combined power of you and me, we can reach the peak of the ninth rank. If we can win over one or two more forces, we might be able to take down that old guy from the Mechanical Clan!" The Fifth True Lord's tone was tinged with excitement.
The Sixth True Lord nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming: "Indeed! That one from the Skeleton Clan has always been a major thorn in the side of our Divine Eye Clan. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate him, it will be of great significance to our Divine Eye Clan!"
Similar scenarios are playing out among other forces as well.
Firefly Clan, Crystal Clan, Prison Clan... these powerful races from the cosmic sea or the primordial universe have begun to secretly connect, seeking suitable allies and preparing to take action against their old rivals.
Chu Yang and the other two naturally noticed the change in the atmosphere around them.
"Looks like our operation has given these guys a wake-up call." Giant Axe grinned, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
Luo Feng laughed too: "Yeah, these people are probably all plotting how to take advantage of the chaos. Things are about to get interesting!"
Chu Yang's lips curled into a slight smile, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Then let them fight like dogs! We just need to sit back and watch them fight, waiting for the right moment to strike and wipe them all out!"
The atmosphere around them became subtle, with powerful figures from all sides exchanging glances and subtle undercurrents.
Chu Yang and the others, however, stood firm like rocks in a storm, unmoved by the wind and waves.
"What do we do next? Just wait here?" One of the human race's cosmic lords, who possessed an avatar, idly toyed with his supreme weapon, his eyes coldly fixed on the group of powerful figures.
"What's the rush!" Chu Yang glanced at him. This Universe Lord was the Universe Lord from the Universe Galaxy Bank. Although he only had two clones, both clones were at the level of a fourth-tier Universe Lord. One of the clones had already returned to the original universe with the main force.
"We've made such a big fuss this time, those old guys definitely won't sit still. Just wait and see what happens."
Luo Feng laughed and said, "That's right, let's just treat it as a free monkey show and see what tricks these guys can pull."
As they were talking, a commotion arose in the distance.
A strangely shaped group of people was flying towards them, led by none other than the Fifth and Sixth True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan.
"Here you are." Chu Yang's lips curled into a playful smile.
The Divine Eye Clan quickly approached. The Fifth True Lord stared intently at Chu Yang and his companions, and said in a deep voice, "Humans of the Primordial Universe, our Divine Eye Clan intends to cooperate with you. What are your thoughts?"
Chu Yang feigned confusion and asked, "Oh? Cooperation? I wonder what kind of cooperation you mean?"
A glint of light flashed in the Fifth True Lord's eyes as he said, "It's simple. We'll join forces and first destroy the Bone Nether Lord of the Skeleton Clan. His domain-type treasure will be obtained by our Divine Eye Clan, but we'll also compensate you with three peak-level treasures!"
"Did I hear that right?" Giant Axe snorted coldly, wanting to object, but then heard Chu Yang wave his hand and say, "Are you sure you can kill the Bone Nether Lord?"
The Sixth True Lord snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, our Divine Eye Clan naturally has the strength! What, are you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Chu Yang laughed loudly. "When have we humans ever been afraid! But why should we cooperate with you? Why should we listen to you? Among the dozens of strongest individuals present, are there any stronger than us, including myself and Giant Axe?"
The Sixth True Lord's pupils contracted, realizing the truth of what Chu Yang said. Not long ago, Giant Axe had single-handedly withstood eight of the strongest beings without defeat, and later Chu Yang had even killed a fifth-tier universe lord with a single blow, which was enough to demonstrate their strength.
"You two are indeed impressive, but this isn't a time where individual skill alone is enough!"
"Our Divine Eye Clan has ten Universe Lords, and with the addition of your two sides, we are more than capable of sweeping through the entire Flowing Cloud Valley! As for the spoils, we can compromise and divide them equally with you! We can discuss who should own the Flowing Cloud Palace at the very end!"
The Sixth True Lord spoke arrogantly, seemingly confident that he had Chu Yang and the others under his thumb.
"Oh? Is that so?" Chu Yang smiled noncommittally, his gaze sweeping over the various factions around him who were itching to make a move. He said calmly, "I don't think so. What do you all think?"
As soon as Chu Yang finished speaking, a chorus of agreement immediately arose from the surrounding crowd.
"That's right! Why should we listen to your Divine Eye Clan? Cooperating with our Wei Clan is the same!"
"Exactly! If you want to cooperate, you need to show some sincerity! Giant Axe, and this powerful human, we're also willing to cooperate with you!"
"I think we should all join forces, wipe out the Divine Eye Clan first, and then divide up their treasures!"
The powerful figures around were not fools either. If humans and the Divine Eye Clan were to unite, they would be an absolutely overwhelming force!
……
Upon hearing the shouts coming from the surrounding area, the expressions of the Fifth and Sixth True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan immediately turned ugly.
They never imagined that they would become the target of everyone's criticism!
"You..." The Sixth God was trembling with anger, pointing at the crowd around him, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"What? You want to make a move?" A cold glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes as he sneered, "I advise you to think carefully before you act. I have a bad temper, and if I accidentally wipe out your Divine Eye Clan, don't blame me for not warning you!"
"You..." The Sixth God was speechless.
Although the Divine Eye Clan is powerful, it does not dare to easily make enemies of so many forces.
Moreover, the strength displayed by Chu Yang and the others made them wary.
The Fifth True Lord took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said with forced restraint, "Very well, in that case, we, the Divine Eye Clan, will take our leave!"
After saying that, he led the Sixth True Lord and the other members of the Divine Eye Clan away in a sorry state.
Watching the departing figures of the Divine Eye Clan, Chu Yang's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Are we just going to let them go like this?" Giant Axe asked, somewhat unwillingly.
"Giant Axe, hold on," a cold glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. "These powerful figures are just making empty promises, expecting us to work hard. There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
The human race is now like a sharp knife; no one dares to challenge it easily, nor dares to let it go unchecked.
Because this knife could be used to stab them at any moment!
……
With the departure of the Divine Eye Clan, the surrounding atmosphere became even more eerie.
After the Divine Eye Clan was defeated and fled, Flowing Cloud Valley fell into an eerie silence.
The air was thick with tension, like the calm before a storm, so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
Various forces are eyeing each other warily, yet none dare to make a rash move.
Every powerful person knows that beneath this calm surface lies a far more dangerous undercurrent.
Back at the Star Tower, Luo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned close to Chu Yang: "Senior Brother, I have an idea!"
Chu Yang glanced at him with a smile, then sat lazily on the ground: "Tell me about it."
"We're powerful now, why don't we take this opportunity to squeeze some money out of those tribes! Let them give us some treasures in exchange for our 'peaceful coexistence'!" Luo Feng's tone was sly.
Chu Yang chuckled inwardly; he knew exactly what this kid was up to.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to collect the remaining wing parts of the Wu-killing Wing!
The Wu-killing wings, with just two pairs of wings, are comparable to the most powerful treasures. If all the parts were gathered, wouldn't their power be heaven-defying?
It's likely that Luo Feng also wanted to take this opportunity to collect those wing-type treasures!
Treasures like wings are rare in the cosmic sea, but not uncommon either. If something is particularly special, Luo Feng would almost certainly suspect that it might be a part of his own Killing Wings.
Luo Feng didn't know where the remaining wings were, but Chu Yang knew perfectly well.
Of the remaining components, three pairs are related to the Purple Moon Holy Land, which presents a good opportunity.
"Good idea," Chu Yang said, feigning contemplation. "But how do we do it? We need a suitable reason; we can't just rob them outright, can we?"
Luo Feng chuckled: "Isn't that simple? We'll just say we need some 'price' to avoid attacking them. If they don't pay, hmph, we'll let them taste our power!"
Chu Yang suppressed a smile. This idea was thanks to Luo Feng, but it suited his taste perfectly.
Chu Yang and Luo Feng exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
……
The three cosmic lords of the Purple Moon Holy Land are currently hiding in a huge palace treasure, the Jade Star Cauldron, a supreme treasure of the highest level.
Meanwhile, the three cosmic lords of the Purple Moon Holy Land—the Lord of Purple Lightning, the Lord of Fire Sky, and the Lord of Jade Star—were gathered together, their faces grim.
Their previous trip to Liuyun Valley was a disastrous one; they not only failed to obtain Liuyun Palace, but also lost many powerful individuals.
The moment Chu Yang's divine power clone appeared, it immediately attracted their attention.
"Human! What are you doing here?" The Lord of Purple Lightning spoke in an unfriendly tone through divine power, with crackling arcs of electricity dancing on his eight-headed, sixteen-armed body, as if he might suddenly burst into flames and injure someone at any moment.
The Lord of Fire was engulfed in raging flames, his fiery red eyes fixed on Chu Yang as if he wanted to burn him to ashes.
Only the Lord of Jade Star remained relatively calm, but only on the surface. He was secretly on guard, preventing any sneak attacks on his palace treasures.
Chu Yang's clone remained relaxed, showing no sign of being intimidated by the three's imposing aura. Instead, he smiled and said, "Gentlemen, don't be so nervous. I'm here to make a deal with you."
"A deal? What right do you have to talk to us about a deal?" Lord Firefly sneered, his tone full of disdain.
"Just because I can remove the three of you from the Cosmic Sea." Chu Yang's clone spoke in a calm tone, but with an undeniable domineering air.
The three men's expressions changed. Although they were furious, they had to admit that Chu Yang had the strength to back it up.
The bizarre scene earlier, and what the universe lords who escaped later said, all proved that Chu Yang's strength had advanced another step, and he might even have reached the top level of the strongest beings in the universe.
"What kind of deal do you want to make?" The Lord of Purple Lightning suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
"It's very simple. I need you to help me lure out a universe lord. In return, I can spare your Purple Moon Holy Land and help you take action once," Chu Yang's clone revealed his purpose.
"Whom are you trying to lure?" the Lord of Jade Star asked, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"You don't need to worry about that, I'll tell you later," Chu Yang's clone said, keeping everyone in suspense.
The three fell silent, weighing the pros and cons.
Agreeing to Chu Yang's offer, though somewhat humiliating, would at least save their lives and earn them Chu Yang's assistance; however, refusing would mean that, given Chu Yang's strength, he might very well kill them.
"What if you don't agree?" the Lord of Jade Star suddenly asked, his tone tinged with hostility.
Chu Yang's clone laughed, a hint of coldness in his smile: "The consequence of not agreeing is that you will all perish here!"
Don't be skeptical. I know you have supreme treasures of the palace type, but among the strongest people here, there are supreme treasures of the suppression type!
Furthermore, none of you are the strongest; you simply cannot withstand the suppressive supreme treasures wielded by the strongest. This is precisely your nemesis!
Chu Yang's words sent a chill down the spines of the three of them.
If we fight, we certainly can't win. Even if we rely on the Jade Star Cauldron, the most powerful treasure, we will still be countered by the opponent!
Palace-type treasures are precisely the kind of treasures that are countered by suppression-type treasures of the same level!
Indeed, the three of them combined possess combat power at the level of the strongest, but they are not truly the strongest. Their control over palace-type supreme treasures is not as perfect as that of the absolute strongest! (End of Chapter)
