Chapter 616 Acquisition of a Strange Item
In the endless ocean of the universe, chaotic currents swirled, like a thick fog, obscuring the view.
But this is not an obstacle for the lords of the universe, whose way of perceiving the world is far beyond the ordinary and is not limited to the naked eye.
When the divine power of the Lord of the Universe spreads out, one can clearly "see" everything around, far more clearly than what the naked eye can see.
Each teleportation by the Chaos City Lord and Chu Yang covered ten thousand light-years. They spent two days teleporting through the passage leading to the Cosmic Sea before finally emerging from the passage.
At this point, Chu Yang finally entered the Cosmic Sea.
Chu Yang looked up and saw a small, dilapidated universe. Although it was dilapidated, its diameter was still 100 million light-years.
"Junior brother, the Lord of the Universe in the Cosmic Sea is already waiting for your arrival in the Peak Realm. It's still many days' journey from here to that place!"
"Let's hurry on our way!"
"Um!"
Chu Yang and the Lord of Chaos City stopped talking and focused on their journey.
The cosmic ocean is vast and boundless.
Compared to the primordial universe, this place is more like a primordial chaos, filled with violent energy turbulence and various strange celestial bodies.
Chu Yang followed the Lord of Chaos City, constantly teleporting. Each jump covered tens of thousands of light-years, but in this boundless cosmic sea, it still seemed insignificant.
The journey through the cosmic sea is long and strange, with chaotic currents constantly churning.
Along the way, Chu Yang witnessed all sorts of amazing sights.
Huge meteorites, like floating mountains, some of which are engraved with ancient and mysterious runes.
The colorful nebulae, like a palette of colors in the universe, scatter dreamlike light, ever-changing and dazzling.
There were also various strange and bizarre cosmic life forms traversing the chaotic currents. They varied in form and possessed powerful auras. Some exuded a chilling pressure, while others emanated an ancient and mysterious aura.
Even the Lord of Chaos City was cautious when he saw these lives.
Several days later, they finally arrived at the outer edge of the Peak Realm.
From a distance, Qingfengjie resembles a mountain peak cleaved by a giant axe, majestic and imposing.
At the fracture point, endless waterfalls cascade down from the mountaintop, crashing against the mountainside below with a deafening roar.
The water flowed so far that it submerged most of the foot of the mountain, forming a vast expanse of water.
This waterfall is not an ordinary stream of water, but contains a dense, chaotic airflow that exudes a suffocating sense of oppression, as if even space itself is about to be torn apart by it.
"The space within the Peak Realm is extremely unstable, filled with all kinds of gales capable of annihilating even the strongest beings in the universe. One careless move could lead to being swept into it, and even riding a palace treasure might not guarantee an unscathed escape."
The Lord of Chaos City warned solemnly.
Chu Yang took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.
Before arriving here, he was somewhat dismissive, but after witnessing the scenery of the Peak Realm firsthand, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
The vastness and mystery of the universe far exceeded his imagination.
They continued on and came to a celestial rock about 8.2 light-years in diameter.
More than a dozen human cosmic lords have already gathered here, including the Giant Axe Founder, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Dragons...
Each of them possessed a powerful aura, exuding authority over all directions, and stood there silently.
The most imposing of them all, resembling a towering mountain, is none other than the giant axe that recently entered the Cosmic Sea with the wondrous black divine wood.
He laughed heartily, his voice booming like a bell: "Lord of All Laws, you've finally entered the Sea of the Universe! Chaos, how was your journey?"
The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly: "It went smoothly enough, without encountering any trouble."
He turned to look at Chu Yang, a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Junior brother, you must already know the universe masters of our human race. Come, let me introduce these people to you."
Chu Yang's gaze swept over the crowd, and he was secretly surprised.
Besides the Giant Axe Founder and the Human Universe Lord whom we had seen before, there were several other unfamiliar Universe Lords.
These universe lords are those who joined the Hong Alliance in the last three eras. The strongest among them is a third-order universe lord named Azure Lord.
"This is the Lord of Azure, this is the Lord of Bone..." the Lord of Chaos introduced them one by one.
The introduced universe lords all nodded to Chu Yang, and Chu Yang returned the greeting to each of them. Although he had never met most of these universe lords before, he had heard of their names before.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the slightly overweight Lord Peng laughed heartily, "Haha, Lord of All Laws, now besides you, the only other human being who hasn't yet reached the Cosmic Sea is the Galaxy Lord, a powerful figure with the strength of a Universe Lord!"
Chu Yang nodded slightly. Luo Feng believed that it wouldn't be long before he would also head to the Cosmic Sea, since there weren't many challenges left in the Primordial Universe.
Only here can the Lords of the Universe feel immense pressure, forcing them to continuously evolve and even break through their own limits.
The human race is generally quite united, with the cosmic lords present, representing all five major human factions.
In the vast ocean of space, if you don't unite, you'll be devoured by others until nothing is left.
Compared to the powerhouses of the first and second reincarnation eras, the current generation of universe masters and even the strongest beings in the primordial universe are somewhat inferior to those of the previous two reincarnation eras, except for a few exceptionally talented individuals.
For example, the Primordial Ancestor, before he was suppressed, was able to dominate the cosmic sea, causing the strongest of countless races to dare not challenge his power.
The Lord of Bones laughed, "Chaos, your Virtual Universe lineage now boasts seven powerhouses at the Universe Lord level! Tsk tsk, truly enviable!"
"That's right, several of them have clones. For example, the Chaos City Lord has three clones, and the Galaxy Lord also has three clones!"
The Chaos City Lord smiled faintly: "Although my Virtual Universe Company has a considerable number of Universe Lords, not to mention others, the founder of the Giant Axe alone is equivalent to several of our Universe Lords."
The founder of the Giant Axe laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "Chaos, don't be modest. Your Virtual Universe Company lineage has a profound foundation, abundant talent, and unlimited potential for the future!"
The Lord of Chaos waved his hand and said, "Alright, today we are welcoming the Lord of All Laws as he enters the Cosmic Sea for the first time. Come, everyone, let us congratulate him on his boundless treasures and endless life!"
"Infinite treasures, endless life!" All the lords of the universe shouted their congratulations in unison, their voices rolling and shaking the void.
Chu Yang returned the greeting with a cupped hand and smiled, "Thank you all for your kind words, and I also wish my human race even greater prosperity in the cosmic sea!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the founder of the giant axe couldn't wait to take out the piece of black divine wood.
"Lord of All Laws, this is a treasure! Lord Yuan'ao only achieved the strength of a fifth-tier Universe Lord thanks to this thing!"
He grinned and presented the black sacred wood to Chu Yang as if offering a treasure.
The black sacred wood exudes a rich life force, with mysterious patterns flowing across its surface, as if it contains endless secrets.
Chu Yang could sense a strange energy fluctuation, powerful and mysterious, contained within it.
As soon as it was brought out, the cosmic lords present all looked at this wondrous object with great interest.
"This thing..."
Chu Yang hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the black divine wood.
The hand felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a powerful life energy surged into his body through his palm, invigorating him. At that moment, the divine power within him seemed to have become much purer and stronger.
"It really is a good product," he exclaimed sincerely.
The Giant Axe Founder grinned and said, "Lord of All Laws, this black divine wood is a rare treasure from the cosmic sea, only slightly inferior to the most powerful treasures!"
Chu Yang said, "Giant Axe, you are the strongest among our human race. You don't possess any supreme treasures. This extraordinary item, which is second only to the supreme treasure, should be more effective on you than on me!"
The giant axe shook its head: "I have other opportunities. This rare item was obtained by you and the Galactic Lord, so it naturally belongs to you! Besides, I also have a rare item, no less valuable than this one! Please take a look!"
As he spoke, the giant axe took out the spherical object.
"What is this?" Chu Yang asked curiously.
"Haha, this is a treasure I obtained from the Peak Realm, named 'Mist River Pearl'!" The Giant Axe Founder said, and with a gentle wave, the Mist River Pearl swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a vast mist river that enveloped the surrounding void.
Within the misty river, stars twinkled, radiating brilliant light, resembling a real universe and containing boundless power.
With a thought, the Mist River Pearl transformed into a transparent armor, protecting the giant axe's divine body. Then it transformed into a palace treasure.
No matter what shape it takes, this wondrous object can rival the finest among the most precious treasures.
"What a treasure!" Chu Yang exclaimed sincerely as he looked at the Mist River Pearl that had finally turned into a sphere. With his current level of understanding, it was not difficult for Chu Yang to see that the power of this treasure was no weaker than that of the black divine wood!
The Giant Axe Founder laughed, "Lord of All Laws, please accept this black divine wood! Your strength is still weak; with this black divine wood, your power will increase significantly! It will also be a great help to our human race!"
"As humanity's foremost master craftsman, your safety is of utmost importance!"
The last sentence was transmitted telepathically by the giant axe. After all, there were still several non-human universe lords present. Although they had joined the Hong Alliance, there were some secrets that they would not be allowed to know.
However, these universe lords of the human race were aware of Chu Yang's identity as a weapon refiner.
"This..." Chu Yang hesitated.
"Take it, junior brother," the Chaos City Lord said. "With this 'Mist River' treasure, the Giant Axe's survivability has increased more than tenfold!"
Chu Yang nodded, no longer refusing, and put away the black divine wood.
The four alien universe lords looked at Chu Yang with envy.
This treasure, second only to the most powerful treasure, was just given away like that?
"Haha, that's more like it!" The Giant Axe Founder laughed. "Lord of All Laws, is there anywhere you'd like to go since this is your first time entering the Cosmic Sea?"
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard that the inner region of the Qingfeng Realm is fraught with danger, but also holds many opportunities. I'd like to venture in and explore."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding universe lords changed slightly.
The Lord of Darkness said in a deep voice, "The Myriad Laws and the Peak Realm are extremely dangerous. Even ordinary universe lords dare not set foot there easily. You are new to the Cosmic Sea, so it would be better to be cautious."
The Lord of Dragons also advised, "Yes, Lord of All Laws, the Peak Realm is no joke. One wrong move and you'll perish. Why don't you train in other places outside the Peak Realm first, and then go to the Peak Realm when your strength has improved?"
The founder of the giant axe laughed and said, "With the Lord of All Laws having such ambitions, how can we stop him? However, the realm of Qingfeng is indeed dangerous, so you must be extremely careful and not be careless."
Chu Yang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your concern, I understand."
Seeing that Chu Yang was determined, the Lord of Chaos City stopped trying to dissuade him and said, "Junior brother, since that's the case, I'll accompany you."
Chu Yang laughed and said, "Senior brother, there's no need. I won't go too deep, and I'll mostly be visiting places that have already been explored. You should proceed on your own!"
Having the Lord of Chaos City by my side is indeed much more convenient, but if I want to quickly improve my strength, I have to hover between life and death.
Chu Yang politely declined the Chaos City Lord's offer. He needed to face the cruelty of the Cosmic Sea alone to unleash his potential and will. He also needed to undergo trials and tribulations to break through to the strongest level.
Chu Yang knew that the Lord of Chaos City was trying to protect him, but flowers in a greenhouse can never withstand the baptism of wind and rain.
The Lord of Chaos City was still somewhat worried, but then he saw Chu Yang wave his hand and say, "Senior Brother, my mind is made up, you don't need to worry."
The Lord of Ice Peak then pondered and said, "Senior Brother Chaos, since Junior Brother has his own plans, we don't need to interfere too much! He has grown to his current strength almost entirely on his own!"
The Lord of Chaos City seemed to be persuaded, and nodded slightly: "Alright then, junior brother, if you encounter any danger, your avatar in the Primal Universe must notify us immediately!"
"Understood!" Chu Yang turned to look at the Giant Axe Founder. "Giant Axe, you should be the strongest among our human race who has penetrated the deepest part of the Peak Realm. Could you tell me about some relatively safe areas within the Peak Realm?"
The founder of the giant axe pondered for a moment and said, "The inner region of the Peak Realm is fraught with danger. So-called safety is only relative. However, 'Flowing Cloud Valley' is worth a visit. Although there are some dangers there, with your strength, if you are careful, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Liuyun Valley?" Chu Yang's heart stirred; he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.
"Flowing Cloud Valley is a rather special area within the Inner Domain of the Peak Realm. It is filled with a strange energy called 'Flowing Cloud Power'."
This energy exerts immense pressure on the divine body, but if one can adapt to it, it is also extremely beneficial to the improvement of the divine body.
The Lord of Darkness explained, "However, there is another race within Flowing Cloud Valley, the 'Cloudwing Beast' race from the second era of reincarnation. They make up almost half of Flowing Cloud Valley, so when we go there, we're actually going to the other half!"
"The Cloudwing Beast clan?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. "I'd like to see them for myself."
Chu Yang remembered that the original work didn't seem to mention this place name much, nor did it mention the Cloudwing Beast race. However, Chu Yang had seen it in the information given to him by the Chaos City Lord. The Cloudwing Beast race had a strongest member and eight Universe Lords under its command, each with an enormous divine body and extremely formidable.
The founder of the giant axe laughed and said, "You have guts! However, remember to be careful and act within your capabilities."
