Chapter 303
Zhen Yaozu enters the game, severing one arm of the demon race!
The cosmic sea.
Within the Inner Domain of the Peak Realm lies the dangerous place known as "Aurora Valley".
This great rift valley, 3.9 light-years long and about 0.3 light-years wide, is filled with beams of light of various colors and is an extremely dangerous place.
Whoosh!
The Lord of Poison Dragons carefully navigated the Grand Canyon, maneuvering through the greyish-white palace.
"Ugh!"
"What bad luck! I've been wandering in this Aurora Valley for tens of thousands of years and haven't found any valuable treasures."
The Lord of Poison Dragons, with his enormous body coiled in the center of the hall, was quite depressed.
His true combat strength is at least that of a fifth-order universe master, and the strength he has shown to the outside world is also at the fourth order.
However, even now, he is still only using the "Jade Bone Star," a high-level palace-class treasure.
High-level palace-type treasures, if placed in the primordial universe, would certainly be enough to roam freely throughout the universe.
Even the Lord of Sirius, relying on the "Sirius Palace," dared to exchange a few words with the Lord of Chaos City in the Primordial Universe.
However, in the Peak Realm, one of the three most dangerous places in the Cosmic Sea, Jade Bone Star is not enough.
"Without a powerful enough palace-type treasure, I wouldn't dare to enter many dangerous places in Aurora Valley."
The Lord of Poison Dragons sighed softly.
Aurora Valley is located in the inner region of the Peak Realm, which is considered an extremely dangerous place for the Lord of the Universe, and there is a certain possibility that a supreme treasure will be born there.
However, the places where treasures are born are often fraught with great dangers, which makes the requirements for palace-type treasures even higher.
The Lord of Poison Dragons has roamed Aurora Valley for tens of thousands of years, and has only obtained a few high-level treasures, totaling less than one hundred treasure points.
swoosh~
Jade Bone Star transformed into a streak of gray-white light, weaving through endless white light.
Aurora Valley is like an "ocean of light," filled with light of all colors.
The white ray is the weakest form of power; even ordinary second- or third-order universe masters can move about it at will.
"Ok?"
The Lord of Poison Dragons suddenly opened his eyes, a strange light flashing in his bright yellow pupils.
"My master just sent me a message... the operation can begin!"
"After tens of thousands of years of planning, we can finally make a move against that old bastard, Zhen Yaozu!"
The Lord of Poison Dragons was very excited.
This is certainly not because he is inherently rebellious, but because as Ye Xingkong's soul servant, he would wholeheartedly support Ye Xingkong's decision.
Moreover, if the assassination of the Demon Ancestor is successfully completed, the Poison Dragon Lord will certainly have made a great contribution.
Given Ye Xingkong's personality, when the time comes to reward merit, he might just bestow upon him a supreme treasure of the highest palace type.
of course……
As Ye Xingkong's soul servant and the "beloved disciple" of Zhen Yaozu, the Lord of Poison Dragons is regarded as the next strongest being in the universe among the demon race, and he is not lacking in treasures.
He broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe less than 100 million years ago. He possesses the "Eye of the Evil God," a top-tier soul-type treasure, the "Azure Dragon Armor," a top-tier armor, and the "Exploding God Claw."
Judging from these features alone, the Dragon Lord's treasure is truly luxurious.
However, his time as the ruler of the universe was ultimately too short, and he lacked some foundation. For example, his treasures such as domain-type, palace-type, and sealing-type treasures were all quite ordinary.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The Lord of Poison Dragons made a decisive move, changing the direction of "Jade Bone Star" and flying deeper into Aurora Valley.
A few months later.
The heart of Aurora Valley.
A deep, intense crimson light rippled outwards, resembling a magnificent crimson lake from afar.
"Crimson aurora..."
The Lord of Poison Dragons looked on with great apprehension.
In the Aurora Valley region, the crimson aurora is considered one of the most dangerous types of "light".
White aurora, low danger level, occasionally produces ordinary treasures;
Blue aurora, medium level of danger, usually contains high-level treasures and top-level treasures;
Red aurora, highly dangerous, generally appears as a top-tier treasure.
Crimson aurora is extremely dangerous and usually produces top-grade treasures or even the most powerful treasures!
The Lord of Poison Dragons took a deep look at the distant, extremely dangerous crimson "lake," and then his eyes erupted with unprecedented ecstasy.
……
Deep in the territory of the demon clan.
"Teacher! Teacher!"
The Lord of Poison Dragons transformed into a streak of light and flew into the palace where the Demon Ancestor Zhen was located, shouting excitedly.
"Poison Dragon, what is it?"
Seeing his most beloved disciple in such a flustered state, Zhen Yaozu also became somewhat nervous.
"The Poison Dragon should be roaming the Cosmic Sea right now."
"This appearance... could it be that he has encountered some life-threatening danger?"
Zhen Yaozu's heart tightened involuntarily.
This kind of thing is obviously not unprecedented among the demon race, just like the "Lord of Changjiu" back then.
The Lord of Changjiu was an extremely talented genius of the demon race back then, with great potential, and he honed his skills in the cosmic sea at a very young age.
Although the demon race bestowed upon him some powerful treasures for protection, he encountered several insurmountable dangers, causing the entire demon alliance to scatter in panic and rush to his rescue.
However, after a long period of trials and tribulations.
The Lord of Changjiu has indeed become the most powerful and terrifying cosmic lord among the demon race, with his strength in no way inferior to that of the former Lord of Chaos City!
Its status is second only to the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor.
In the eyes of the Demon Ancestor, the current Lord of the Poison Dragon is actually the former Lord of Changjiu.
However, the Poison Dragon Lord's talent is even more extraordinary than that of the Changjiu Lord.
"Poison Dragon, let's talk things out calmly, don't rush."
Zhen Yaozu couldn't help but speak.
However, when he saw the Lord of Poison Dragons flying in excitedly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like they're facing a life-or-death crisis.
However, the next sentence from the Lord of Poison Dragons sent a shiver down the spine of the Demon Ancestor.
"Teacher! Teacher!"
"Haha, I'm so lucky!"
The Lord of Poison Dragons roared excitedly, saying, "I have been venturing into the dangerous 'Aurora Valley' within the Inner Domain of the Peak Realm for tens of thousands of years without any success. But just as I was about to leave, I happened to witness the birth of an extremely powerful treasure!"
"What! A supreme treasure!"
Zhen Yaozu suddenly raised his head and asked in a shocked tone, "Poison Dragon, are you sure it's an extremely powerful treasure?"
"It's definitely true!"
The Lord of Poison Dragons nodded and said, "In the Aurora Valley region, the crimson aurora may give birth to top-grade peak treasures and supreme treasures... However, I can still distinguish the difference in aura between peak treasures and supreme treasures."
Subsequently, the Lord of Poison Dragons recounted the situation in detail, and many of the characteristics indeed matched the conditions for the birth of an extremely powerful treasure.
"The crimson light is extremely dangerous; even a fifth-order universe lord wouldn't dare to venture in lightly."
“My disciple’s ‘Jade Bone Star’ is merely a high-grade palace-level treasure; I dare not venture inside.”
The Lord of Poison Dragons quickly said.
"Poison Dragon, you did the right thing."
Zhen Yaozu nodded and said excitedly, "Few people can restrain their greed in the face of temptation."
The Cosmic Sea has never lacked treasures; even legendary supreme treasures have appeared many times over the long years.
However, while opportunities abound, so do dangers. Often, some incredibly powerful individuals do not die because they lack strength, but because of their own greed.
"Poison Dragon, you did a great job this time."
A hint of approval flashed in Zhen Yaozu's eyes as he smiled and said, "Teacher will now set off for the Cosmic Sea. Before that, do not act rashly."
"If I obtain this supreme treasure, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Zhen Yaozu laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
As one of only two of the strongest beings in the universe among the demon race, his status should theoretically be equivalent to that of the Dream Demon Ancestor.
In reality, however, the Dream Demon Ancestor always had the upper hand over him in many ways.
why?
The reason is simple: the Dream Demon Ancestor possesses the most powerful treasure, while he does not!
Possessing the most powerful treasures, the Dream Demon Ancestor was at the eighth rank, while the Tremor Demon Ancestor was only at the seventh rank.
Don't underestimate the difference at this level.
The difference between the eighth and seventh orders is even greater than the sum of the first to seventh orders.
Now, he finally has the opportunity to obtain a supreme treasure that belongs to him!
"Poison Dragon is the strongest genius of my demon race throughout countless eras."
"Whether it's me, the Dream Demon Ancestor, or the Lord of Changjiu, in terms of talent alone, none of them are as good as the Poison Dragon."
"It's normal for a peerless genius to have better opportunities when they are born."
Zhen Yaozu was filled with anticipation.
boom!
Moments later, the vast starry sky, surrounded by endless, dazzling air currents, suddenly trembled for several light-years.
Immediately, an ancient cyan palace located deep in the starry sky vanished in a flash of light.
To avoid any accidents, Zhen Yaozu didn't tell anyone this time, not even Meng Yaozu, and went to the Cosmic Sea alone.
······
The cosmic sea.
Deep in the Aurora Valley.
The Lord of the Poison Dragons sat atop a rock millions of kilometers in diameter, waiting quietly.
hum~ hum~ hum~
A faint spatial ripple appeared in the void.
Then, three figures exuding boundless pressure slowly walked out.
The leader, dressed in flowing white robes, possessed an extraordinary and refined air; he was none other than Ye Xingkong, the Lord of Hongmeng Dao.
Secondly, there is the Demon-Slaying True God, who exudes boundless demonic energy, wears dark golden divine armor, and wields a blood-red battle blade.
The last one is Guilang, a familiar face to the demon race.
This time, Ye Xingkong went to great lengths to kill Zhen Yaozu.
Not only did the main body and the five elemental avatars participate, but even the new force of the Guilang Demon God was brought out.
"Owner."
Guilang Demon God first glanced at Ye Xingkong, then respectfully bowed to the Demon Slayer True God.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, he has come to understand the inheritance that Ye Xingkong gave him, and his heart is filled with even greater awe for the unfathomable depths of the Demon Slayer God.
With a casual gesture, he could produce treasures comparable to the most powerful and precious artifacts, as well as a set of inheritances that pointed directly to "transcending reincarnation".
Such a mysterious figure, even if he doesn't control souls, makes it incredibly difficult for the Demon God Guilang to harbor any thoughts of betrayal.
"Gui Lang, for this operation, all you need to do is cooperate with us."
The Five Elements Avatar spoke calmly.
To ensure everything went perfectly, he didn't even tell Guilang the Demon God the specifics of the plan beforehand.
Guilang Demon God is not a soul servant like the Poison Dragon Lord, so theoretically there is still a possibility of leaks.
"Yes."
Guilang Demon God said respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the Five Elements Avatar nodded, looked at Ye Xingkong beside him, and smiled, "Hongmeng Dao Master, let's go in together."
"The Lord of Hongmeng Dao?"
Gui Lang, the Demon God, was taken aback and couldn't help but glance at Ye Xingkong again.
He had naturally heard of the great name of the Hongmeng Dao Master.
After all, suppressing three fifth-order universe lords with a single move is an extremely incredible achievement.
A fifth-order universe master, placed in the vast universe, which one wouldn't be a prominent figure?
However, although Guilang Demon God had always heard of the name "Hongmeng Dao Master", he had never actually met him.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The three transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the depths of the crimson "Aurora Lake".
"This aura...is it from an extremely powerful treasure?"
Guilang Demon God sensed an incomparably powerful aura, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
However, when he looked up at Ye Xingkong and the Five Elements Avatar, he was slightly taken aback to find that both of them had calm expressions.
Clearly, they all knew that there was an extremely powerful treasure here.
"Okay, here it is!"
Ye Xingkong led the two to land on a gnarled ancient tree tens of thousands of kilometers high, where they hid on a leaf.
Although it is a "leaf", it is tens of thousands of meters long and wide.
From this vantage point, the three could see half of an ancient pagoda, exuding a majestic aura, emerging from the incredibly lush lake in the distance.
The most powerful and exquisite treasure among flying palaces!
However, Ye Xingkong remained extremely indifferent to the sight of this supreme treasure being born.
Not to mention, this treasure was originally bait that he put in tens of thousands of years ago to lure Zhen Yaozu into the trap.
Even if a supreme treasure were placed before him, it wouldn't be enough to move him.
For a weapon refiner who is already capable of forging supreme treasures and has received materials from an entire Divine King Sect, a supreme treasure is indeed nothing special.
"Owner."
"Who are we going to deal with?"
A thoughtful look flashed in Guilang Demon God's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
As an ancient being who has lived for countless years, he is not stupid and naturally saw through some clues.
A supreme treasure is right here, yet instead of taking it, they find a place to ambush it. Even a fool could see this is a trap.
"You'll know then."
The Five Elements Avatar spoke calmly.
The reason we invited Guilang the Demon God along this time was just to be on the safe side; we didn't expect him to contribute much.
After all, Ye Xingkong has deployed two powerful fighters this time, each of whom possesses strength comparable to the ninth rank.
Dealing with a seventh-tier universe powerhouse is incredibly easy!
However, when it comes to the Demon God Guilang, it doesn't mean that at all.
"My master probably summoned me this time to test my strength."
"Fortunately, I have been diligently studying and passing on this knowledge for tens of thousands of years without ever slacking off."
Guilang Demon God's heart tightened.
He had made up his mind that he would go all out in this battle, even at the cost of serious injury, to demonstrate his worth.
"This time, two of the strongest beings in the universe have been dispatched. Although the Hongmeng Dao Lord is only a universe master, he also possesses an extremely powerful treasure."
"Such a luxurious lineup... is probably meant to deal with the strongest being in the universe."
Gui Lang, the Demon God, thought to himself silently. (End of Chapter)
