Chapter 285, "Bloodstained"
Virtual Universe, Hongmeng Palace.
When Ye Muxuan arrived, 21 of the other 25 universe lords of humanity had arrived, and all three strongest beings in the universe had come (the Dark Demon God was hidden in the shadows and did not come). The 25 of the 29 universe lords of the Hong Alliance had also arrived.
The reason for this trip is that the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos True God joined forces to obtain an extremely powerful treasure in the dangerous Washing Dust Sea deep within the inner domain of Flowing Heavy Mountain!
Moreover, it is an extremely precious and valuable soul-type supreme treasure!
The ultimate treasure is the most precious artifact of a clan, supporting the foundation of the clan. Even though humans have publicly revealed that they possess eight ultimate treasures (two of which are actually natal array plates), obtaining even one ultimate treasure is still worth celebrating.
The celebration lasted for three days, which naturally strengthened the cohesion among the universe lords of the Hong Alliance. The human universe lords who returned to the Chaos Temple also celebrated once again.
No one mentioned the final distribution of this supreme treasure of the soul. The only ones qualified to speak now are the four strongest and the Shadow Blade Master. The rest are not qualified, not even the strongest among the twenty-five universe masters, the Desolate Mirror Master and the Azure East Master.
These two are currently preparing to challenge for the title of the strongest, and they have reduced their management of affairs within their respective forces, mostly entrusting them to other universe lords.
Of the five people qualified to speak, Ye Muxuan didn't care about a supreme treasure at all. The Dark Demon God's natal array plate was of the illusion type, so he naturally didn't need it. The other three either possessed palace-type treasures or their natal array plates were of the palace type, so it was highly likely that they would use the giant axe themselves.
Therefore, the founder of the Giant Axe, who possesses three supreme treasures and the Giant Axe of his natal array plate, can stably maintain his position as the strongest being in the universe.
His attack methods include the Giant Axe, a natal array plate; the Black Stone Temple, a palace-type supreme treasure; the Southern Green Branch, a binding-type supreme treasure; and the newly acquired soul-type supreme treasure. The creator of the Giant Axe felt he could look down on every strongest being in the universe equally.
During the celebratory banquet, Ye Muxuan mentioned that one of the members in this genius battle was a member of the Giant Axe bloodline. As a result, the founder of the Giant Axe fell silent for a long time, which was unusual for him.
That was the end of the matter; Ye Muxuan had only mentioned it casually. Besides studying the fourth level of the secret runes on several supreme treasures, he had also set his sights on creating his own seventh-tier secret technique.
Such messages from higher-ups don't even reach the Venerables, let alone youngsters like Luo Feng who have just arrived in Chaos City to cultivate.
Eight months after arriving in Chaos City, Luo Feng hunted Chaos Beasts to absorb Chaos True Spirit, allowing his soul to undergo a transformation and become more in sync with the laws of divination. At the same time, he studied the imprints left by Lian Luo and diligently comprehended the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.
Without "Bloodstained," he could only resort to this clumsy method.
Fortunately, he had good talent and comprehension. When Bolan passed the third level, he also passed the first level of the Bridge to Heaven in one go.
Because members of the Genius Battle receive a tenfold bonus for their first time entering Chaos City and crossing the Heavenly Bridge, Luo Feng immediately exchanged 1000 points for the "Bloodstained" manual without hesitation.
I read and pondered with great eagerness.
These genius warriors had no right to listen to the lectures of the grandmasters before they passed the third level of the Tongtian Bridge, so they all bought secret techniques to study on their own. As a result, Luo Feng sat on the cultivation platform for ten years.
Their cultivation, which involves no involvement in external affairs, is naturally none of their concern. In the primordial universe outside, the Blood Sword Venerable led his enforcement team to annihilate three powerful families with the potential to become kings, and escorted a group of immortals to the Eighteen Star Prisons guarded by the Fiery Venerable. According to the judgment given by Ye Muxuan, the imprisonment time ranged from one hundred epochs to one hundred thousand epochs.
Of course, if any Immortal is able to break through to the Venerable level during this period, the imprisonment time will be shortened accordingly.
However, to this day, there have been those who broke through from the Realm Lord to the Immortal, but those who broke through from the Immortal to the Venerable are still in the Eighteen Star Prison Cage and have never been there before.
During this time, Ye Muxuan pondered for a long time and finally mentioned to Mingyu another genius in this Earth era, Hong, who was suitable to follow his path, even though he lost in the genius selection battle.
A martial arts genius with an extremely high level of mental fortitude, perfectly suited for the Illusionist style.
For this reason, Mingyu had been secretly observing Luo Feng and Hong for several years. After all, he knew some things. Among the few people who entered the universe in this Earth era, only Luo Feng and Hong were most likely to go to the Star Tower to recognize their master.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Luo Feng, who possessed the Golden Horned Beast but followed the path of a mental master, is indeed more likely to recognize the Star Tower as his master, rather than Hong, who follows the Illusionist martial arts path as a martial artist.
Even with the slightest mishap, the Star Tower was originally designed to be a primary weapon suitable for mentalists. Whether it was the Mountain and Sea Realm or Mingyu of the Origin Star, they were both mentalists; the only difference was whether the wielder was a magician or an illusionist.
Even so, Mingyu did not directly intervene. Instead, he arranged for his eldest disciple, Mo Shang, now the Limitless King of Night Sorrow, to approach Hong from the perspective of traveling the universe. He also gave Luo, the Lord of Time Realm, a spot to enter Chaos City for comprehension, thus fulfilling his wish.
Whether Luo can break through to immortality or will be trapped at the peak of the realm lord until his death is another matter.
Hong became an unofficial disciple of Nightfall King. Mo Shang also knew that this young man was very likely to become his junior brother, so although there was no formal master-disciple relationship, he had the kindness of guiding him.
Luo went to the initial universe, while Mo Shang took Hong on a journey, occasionally venturing into small secret realms to train and fight ferocious beasts. Meanwhile, Luo Feng, who had been sitting in meditation on the cultivation platform in Chaos City for ten years, finally stood up one day, breaking through the second and third levels of the Bridge to Heaven, surpassing Rong Jun for the first time in a true sense, and catching up with Bo Lan.
Although Berlan quickly passed the fourth level, the two of them began to take the lead over the other geniuses.
When Luo Feng emerged from the City Lord's Mansion after studying the Chaos Stele for the first time in ten years, he saw the blood-stained man who had left a deep impression on him.
Over the past ten years, whenever he awoke from his cultivation, deep in his heart, besides the city lord who easily annihilated two powerful immortals with a palm formed from chaotic energy, there was also the "Blood Sword Venerable," who could make even immortal powerhouses tremble and revere, who left a deep imprint on his heart.
That immortal once said that the Blood Sword Venerable was more powerful than the vast majority of cosmic rulers. This "vast majority" should include the Qianwu Kingdom ruler he already knew, and perhaps even be comparable to the "Guardian of the Chaos Stele," Lord Kandri.
"I heard from the teacher that you are currently cultivating 'Blood Flowing'. How does it feel?" The Blood Sword Venerable was just standing there, and the rich bloody aura seemed to solidify into a tangible form. If a true first-level universe-level cultivator were to be subjected to the overwhelming pressure of his will, they would probably fall into an illusion.
However, Luo Feng's true will was, after all, the ninth-order will of the Golden Horned Beast at the cosmic level. After a moment of confusion, he immediately regained his senses, bowed respectfully, and then replied, "The Bloodstained Manual is very suitable for me, but it is also very difficult."
"Back then, I was young and arrogant, thinking that other people's secret techniques were nothing special. So I wanted to create a basic secret technique that was most suitable for comprehending the Nine Universes Chaos Stele. My teacher tolerated my nonsense, so I created this secret technique when I was in the Realm Lord stage. However, looking back now, there are still many shortcomings." The man in blood-red clothes stood there, creating his own world. This domineering aura of self-importance was far beyond what all the immortals he had seen before could match.
A secret technique he created in a whim during his time as a Realm Lord? Wasn't that Blood Sword Venerable the "Lian Luo" whom he didn't have permission to access?
Luo Feng was dumbfounded!
