Chapter 99, The Emergence of an Avatar
Chapter 99, The Emergence of an Avatar
In the starry sky of the Qingyuan Starfield, a beautiful woman with silver hair reaching her waist gazed at a beautiful purple planet in the distance. She took a step and landed on a high peak of the planet.
On the high peak, covered in snow, a beautiful woman stands atop the snow-capped mountain, overlooking the distant city.
This star system belongs to the Mu tribe. This inhabited planet is home to hundreds of cosmic-level beings, forming the core of the Mu tribe and the star system itself. With abundant cultivation resources, cosmic-level beings are relatively easy to cultivate, but becoming a domain lord still requires a certain level of talent. The Mu tribe currently has no domain lords, but it does have several ninth-tier cosmic-level beings.
To date, the Qingyuan Clan has a total of twenty-seven Domain Lord-level Elders, one World Lord-level Grand Elder, two Immortal Gods, Zhong Li, and Mu Xuan, the most talented clan leader in the history of the Qingyuan Clan!
Thinking of the clan leader, Qingque, who stood atop Snow Peak, had waist-length silver hair that fluttered in the wind, and a strange glint flashed in her eyes that reflected the sunlight.
……
The primordial universe, Chaos City.
On the rooftop of the small building, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes from his slumber. Within his inner world, spanning a million kilometers, crimson light spots had spread to one-fifth of its size, forming a fiery domain.
At the center of the fire domain, a cluster of flames rose and leaped. At a certain moment, the entire fire domain suddenly contracted, and endless fire-attribute energy poured into that cluster of flames.
The power of the world surged forth automatically, transforming into endless fire-attribute energy. This energy was compressed and solidified, eventually forming a lotus pedestal with a diameter of 100 meters. Layer upon layer of flame-shaped lotus leaves, ranging in diameter from several meters to tens of meters, enveloped the lotus heart.
At a certain moment, the layers of flame-shaped lotus leaves opened, and at the heart of the lotus, a crimson flame nearly thirteen meters tall, as solid as a physical object, floated silently.
This is the core of Li Yan, a crimson flame!
With a thought, Ye Muxuan unleashed a burst of crimson flames. A wisp of flame shot out and coiled around the layers of flame-shaped lotus leaves that had fallen off, absorbing all the energy within.
This is one of Li Yan's innate secret techniques: Devour!
It can devour fire-attribute energy, materials, treasures, and supreme treasures. The essence extracted after devouring can increase the life gene multiplier.
After devouring all the fallen lotus leaves, Li Yan's size changed, increasing from about thirteen meters to fifteen meters. Li Yan's clone spun in mid-air, transforming into Ye Muxuan, who wore a fiery red robe but was shrunk by ninety percent to only about one and a half meters tall. His long, fiery red hair danced like flames, and his robe was adorned with various flame patterns, making it extremely magnificent.
Energy life form, whose essence is a flame, can naturally transform into any shape.
On the rooftop, Ye Muxuan quietly sensed the state of Li Yan's clone, and soon he learned about Li Yan's innate secret technique.
Li Yan's clone possesses two innate secret techniques: Devouring and Domain Breaking, which was already known. However, contrary to previous knowledge, the resulting Li Yan clone did not reach the expected 530 times genetic multiplier, but only 53 times, with strength merely at the first tier of the Universe level. Moreover, the use of the "Devouring" technique also has its limits. If fire-attribute energy and materials are used, or even if a star is devoured, the clone's genetic multiplier limit is only one hundred times! To exceed one hundred times, it must devour powerful treasures, even supreme treasures.
Ye Muxuan's world ring contained numerous fire-attribute materials, as he had taken notice of Li Yan the moment he first saw him. Therefore, after retiring from the extraterrestrial battlefield, he kept all these fire-attribute spoils—weapons, armor, metal, life forms, and various precious materials—without selling them. Now, he's sending them all into his inner world for Li Yan's clone to devour.
Although this trip to the extraterrestrial battlefield only lasted a few thousand years, the spoils of war were plentiful. Now that they were sent into my inner world, they piled up to form a small mountain.
Ye Muxuan, dressed in a robe of flames, quietly melted away, revealing his true form as flames. Wisps of fire, like roots, took root into the small mountain.
Fire-attribute materials, weapons, armor, and so on were decomposed, and strands of energy that Ye Muxuan could not comprehend entered Li Yan's main body along the roots.
As the flames flickered on Li Yan's clone, Ye Muxuan could clearly sense that a certain quality within his body was being enhanced.
The mountain of various fire-attribute materials was eventually devoured, and the flames on Li Yan's clone suddenly surged, increasing from about fifteen meters to fifty-two meters. His strength also rose from the first level of the cosmic level to the ninth level.
Most importantly, the life gene multiplier has increased from the initial 53 times to 55 times.
Ye Muxuan calculated that the small mountain of materials consisted mostly of weapons and armor used by the Marquis Immortals, as well as various materials they had collected, with a total value of approximately 700 billion Hunyuan.
If we calculate it this way, even if the cost of increasing the life gene multiplier remains the same, it would still require close to 16 trillion Chaos Yuan to increase it to 100 times. If the cost is even greater, it might exceed 20 trillion!
This is worth about two ordinary treasures! Ye Muxuan suddenly felt very poor. The numbers in his account that looked pretty good before suddenly became all alone.
After purchasing the remains of Li Yan and the Purple Dew, Ye Muxuan's account now held just over two trillion. Later, his teacher, Palace Master Bai Feng, transferred the money from the Qianwu Kingdom's purchase of the Feather Treasure, bringing the total to a little over seven trillion. This wealth, even among the King-level Immortals, was among the most substantial, not to mention those of Realm Lords. However, it seemed he was still too poor. Just cultivating Li Yan's clone to a hundredfold level would require nearly sixteen trillion, leaving a shortfall of almost ten trillion—and this was assuming no further delays.
So poor, so poor. I'd better go hunt down alien immortals and use their assets to cultivate my own Li Yan clone.
……
Although he had decided to hunt down the alien immortals, Ye Muxuan still purchased a drop of Soul Cleansing Dew, spending one trillion points. The Purple Dew was indeed suitable for immortals, and even more effective for realm lords, but it had lost its effect after the fourth use. The Soul Cleansing Dew, however, was only being used three times, and it still retained about one-tenth of its effect.
Now Ye Muxuan has changed his mind. He will devote himself to comprehending the fundamental laws of time, and will first thoroughly understand the last profound law before considering the four laws of space.
Besides, Li Yan's clone is only at the ninth level of the Universe Realm. What would he do in the outer battlefield? He can wait until he reaches the ninth level of the Realm Lord Realm.
Before the Soul-Clearing Dew even arrived, Palace Master Bai Feng arrived in Chaos City, bringing Ye Muxuan's battle sword with her.
Inside the small building, in the living room, Ye Muxuan's fingertips touched the battle sword in front of him. The hilt was longer, making the sword more suitable for two-handed grip, and it looked even more ferocious. Flame-shaped secret patterns were on the slender blade.
Ye Muxuan's Flame Law has been acknowledged, so using this battle blade will not be difficult, and comprehending the secret runes on the blade will be relatively easy.

P.S.: Just wanted to say something. Could you, the reader of this book, please change your system nickname (that string of numbers) to a name you like? I'm terrible at naming things, so I can just grab one when I can't think of one. By the way, that's how I came up with the names of Sixth Senior Sister Liya, Elder Qinghuo, Eldest Senior Brother Luo Qianwang, Yantong, and so on. Please, preferably not with obscure characters, otherwise they won't display in the main text. Thank you!
