Chapter 84, Moon in the Sky
Time flies, and a century has passed quietly.
Inside the residence, Ye Muxuan sat on the edge of a table by the window, holding a wine glass filled with clear, orange liquid that shimmered with a light. Opposite him, Sui Chen, shrunk to just over a meter long and resembling a silver tiger, lay sprawled on all fours like a large white cat.
The dust, originally nearly 800 meters long from beginning to end, has shrunk the immortal divine body to its current size of just over one meter, with less than one percent of its original strength. Whether an immortal powerhouse enlarges or shrinks its divine body, it will result in a decrease in strength. Unless in a place where safety is assured, no powerhouse would do such a thing; it would be irresponsible to their own life.
After emerging from seclusion, Ye Muxuan carefully inquired about Suichen's situation. After all, this was a special life form with a gene multiplier of 70 times, naturally 70 times stronger than ordinary humans. Even Ye Muxuan himself only had ten times the gene multiplier thanks to Feng Qingjing.
As Sui Chen recounted the story, Ye Muxuan gradually learned about its situation.
The Dust-Shattering Being, a special life form randomly conceived in the secret realms of the universe, has two eyes, one gold and one blue. The purer the gold, the higher its affinity for the laws of space, while the purer the blue, the higher its affinity for the laws of water. The sharp horn wrapped with blood-red runes is the Dust-Shattering Being's only innate secret technique, which it calls "Tear."
In past battles, a single charge would easily annihilate a portion of an opponent's immortal divine body with the "Tear" technique, whose hundred-meter-long crimson horn could extend far beyond that. However, for Ye Muxuan, this "Tear" was merely passable, its power equivalent to his previously self-created top-tier secret technique. This was precisely why he had lost when he encountered him before.
After all, he has the Ink Rock Armor and the Cloud Vine, whose toughness is comparable to that of a peak-level King. Even in a head-on collision, Sui Chen's innate secret technique can only be described as mediocre.
After a long while, the afterglow of the setting sun came into view. Ye Muxuan put the wine in his hand down his throat, and the fragrance of the wine still lingered on his taste buds.
Each time she returned to the military base, Jiufeng would sort through Ye Muxuan's spoils of war and sell them according to Ye Muxuan's habits. She did this every time she returned to the military base during her more than two thousand years on the extraterritorial battlefield.
As an intelligent quantum computer, Jiufeng is evolving faster and faster, and it is estimated that it is not far from becoming an intelligent life form.
Ye Muxuan spent over a month handling these trivial matters: selling the unused spoils to the army, contacting powerful individuals with whom he had already made agreements to trade, or even selling them directly to the trading department of the Virtual Universe Company.
If I enter the Luoyin Continent again and things go smoothly, I will be able to complete the military merit quota issued by the virtual universe system. The quota of ten trillion military merits is only about three trillion away from completion, which is only three peak Marquis titles.
With his current level of understanding of the laws, especially after comprehending the art of time stillness, he might even be able to pass the twentieth level of the Heavenly Bridge, making hunting down some Marquis-level enemies extremely easy. However, if given the opportunity, he could consider capturing his opponent after they fall into a deep sleep; even if he didn't want them, he could sell them to someone else. If all else fails, he can kill them later.
However, this is difficult. He doesn't care about ordinary immortals, and the Dark Marks are limited and cannot be wasted. As for a Marquis-level immortal, even one at the initial level, he cannot hold back. Every attack is all-out, and he might accidentally kill them if he overdoes it.
A life-or-death struggle, especially on a perilous battlefield in a foreign land where one should hold back against an alien race? That would be a death sentence.
……
Inside the Flying Feather, Ye Muxuan stroked the hilt of the Shadow Blade with his right hand, his gaze fixed on the distant, scattered stars.
Soon, Jiufeng selected a suitable target based on the probe. The Feiyu stopped above a lake with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers. The spaceship disappeared, and Ye Muxuan appeared there, his gaze falling on a cave at the bottom of the lake below.
One reached the pinnacle of the Marquisate, one reached the initial level of the Marquisate, and three became immortal military lords.
Both of the Marquis titles belong to the Tail Remnant Clan, while the other three Military Lord Immortals belong to another clan. What they have in common is that all five of them came to the extraterrestrial battlefield as members of the Demon Clan.
Then... let's test it out!
……
boom!
He lunged down, the Shadow Blade hanging at his waist, his right hand drawing three inches, gleaming with a dark light.
Inside a cave at the bottom of a lake hundreds of thousands of kilometers deep, two Tail Remnant Clan members, who had just reached the rank of Marquis and Immortal, were talking when a cold blade of light pierced through the defenses formed by the plant life and landed inside the cave.
A flash of light and an explosion!
The first move of his self-created secret technique emphasizes "heavy" power. Now that his vision has broadened and his mindset is different from before, he hasn't prepared a name for it; he'll just call it the First Move. The battle blade itself is the head of the nine short blades, a deadly weapon. It combines his original wind elemental law and time law, making it capable of wielding any force that can stop a mountain.
Within the cave, of the five immortals, two who had reached the rank of Marquis still had a chance to react amidst the explosion of blades, realizing they had been ambushed and immediately burning their immortal divine bodies. However, of the other three military lord immortals, two groaned and immediately fell into a deep sleep. Only the alien immortal who had barely reached the rank of Marquis still possessed 52% of his divine body, but his remaining strength was less than one-tenth.
Ye Muxuan, who had just entered the cave, had a glint in his eyes. He stretched out his left hand and pressed it down in mid-air towards the place where the two Marquis Immortals were.
Time stands still!
Within the cave, spanning hundreds of kilometers, everything seemed to be frozen in time, the five immortal bodies of the alien races completely still. Ye Muxuan's gaze swept over them, and with a flick of his Muying Blade, its light shone once more, like the moon in the sky, showering the world with silvery moonlight.
The second move of the self-created peak secret technique focuses on "lightness" in its power. Just like a mortal walking on the ground, you cannot feel the weight of the moonlight falling on you, nor can you feel when the moonlight fell on you. When you notice it, your body is already covered with moonlight.
Time is also like the moon!
It's not just the moonlight, it's the erosion of time! Nothing in this world is unchanging except the passage of time!
As the sword light fell like the moon, the divine bodies of the three alien immortal military lords were silently annihilated. The aura of the newly appointed Marquis suddenly weakened by at least 30%, and even the strongest Marquis peak immortal's aura weakened by about 10%.
"Master, you have earned 1.2 billion military merits."
Despair filled the enormous compound eyes of the newly ascended Immortal Tail Clan member. A single attack from this powerful being could annihilate 32% of its Immortal Divine Body, and it also possessed the ultimate technique of time stop. Faced with such a powerful being, neither it nor its clansmen could possibly survive!
Faced with time standing still, even escape is a luxury!
"Encountered a human Shadow Blade Marquis, suspected of having already been crowned a king! Help! Help!"
In an instant, the Tail Remnant Clan's peak-level Immortal also realized the life-or-death crisis and frantically cried for help within the demon clan's camp.
