Chapter 193, Master of the Shadow Blade
Amidst the starlight, inside the Giant Axe Temple, beside a long stone table, a dozen cosmic lords chatted and laughed. Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the space, and a man dressed in a simple white robe appeared inside the temple.
All eighteen universe lords and the founder of the giant axe present looked at this newly appeared figure, Ye Muxuan.
Of the eighteen cosmic lords, he was only somewhat familiar with the Chaos City Lord; the Giant Axe Founder had only glimpsed him from afar.
That was when I broke through to immortality; the giant axe came by once.
At this moment, the Chaos City Lord was positioned first to the right and first to the left of the Giant Axe Founder. He was a chubby, bald man with a long, snow-white beard. If memory serves, he should be Master Peng Gong, the founder and head of the "Cosmic Galaxy Bank." His eldest disciple, Venerable Zhu Mang, was an extremely powerful cosmic overlord. At his own Venerable Banquet, he and Venerable Xing Kong represented the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to offer their congratulations.
Beside the Lord of Chaos City stood a bald man with skin as white as jade, clad in silver and black armor and a black outer robe. Even within the Giant Axe Temple, a faint, eerie aura emanated from him. If there were no surprises, this was the hidden Lord of Darkness, one of the three top-tier fifth-order Universe Lords of the human race.
Below Peng Gongzhi was a man with long golden hair, long eyebrows reaching his chest, a smiling face, and a majestic and imposing figure. His aura was very similar to that of the Chaos City Lord. He was the person in charge of the Giant Axe Arena, the Lord of Void Gold.
Before Ye Muxuan could finish examining the eighteen cosmic lords, the savage giant in the main seat opposite him spoke up: "Muxuan,"
sit."
There were originally nine seats on each side of the stone table, but now an extra chair has appeared out of nowhere, located at the very bottom of the Chaos City Lord's side, right next to a thin man.
Ye Muxuan sized up the tall, slender man. He wore a set of dark blue, scale-like armor, and above each ear was a scythe-like curved horn. As he turned to look at Ye Muxuan, it was clear that…
He had a vertical eye between his eyebrows, and his entire body was filled with a strong aura of menace.
Lord Youhou is a disciple of the Lord of Darkness. Before Ye Muxuan, he was the youngest of the eighteen human Universe Lords, the fifth Universe Lord of the Virtual Universe Company, and also the weakest among the powerful figures present. Besides the fact that he had only recently ascended to the position of Universe Lord and hadn't yet created his own strongest secret technique, his insufficient accumulation of supreme treasures was also a major reason. When a race becomes a Universe Lord, they are given a top-tier supreme treasure weapon, but the rest must be accumulated by oneself. Even if there are some supreme treasures in the treasury that can be lent, they won't be of a very high level.
Supreme treasures are extremely important to powerhouses at the level of Universe Lords. Ye Muxuan was able to successfully kill the Lord of Qinxin not only because he created the ultimate secret technique for Universe Lords, but also because he had a huge advantage in supreme treasures. Even selling the entire Qinyuan Clan wouldn't be enough for just one Star Realm.
Facing the gazes of all the universe lords, Ye Muxuan slowly sat down, his divine body automatically adapting to the size of the seat, and fine wine automatically appeared on the table.
"Today, we gather here to welcome Mu Xuan as one of us!" The savage giant at the head of the table raised his wine cup, looked around, and finally addressed Ye Mu Xuan, "From today onwards, we humans have gained another master of the universe, making humanity even stronger—this is a joyous occasion. Moreover, Mu Xuan possesses the ability to create clones, and his survival skills rank among the top ten in the universe! This cup is a toast to Mu Xuan!"
Of the eighteen Universe Lords present, some powerful figures wondered why Ye Muxuan possessed such outrageous survival abilities—after all, Huang and Qing Sui alone couldn't have accomplished this. However, at this moment, they all unanimously raised their wine cups, pointing them towards Ye Muxuan.
"Thank you, human race, and thank you all!" Ye Muxuan stood up, raised his wine glass, gestured to everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.
All nineteen powerful figures drank it all in one gulp.
"Alright, according to the rules of the human race, every person who becomes a master of the universe will receive a treasure of the value of a top-tier weapon from the race. Mu Xuan, what are your requirements?" The founder of the giant axe said with a smile. Obviously, having another master of the universe, especially one with the ability to create a clone of the Nine Nether Ocean, would mean having another pillar supporting the sky for humanity.
Perhaps Ye Muxuan is still a Universe Venerable and somewhat naive. But once he takes that step, his place on this stone table could very well be right next to you!
"I once obtained two top-tier treasure weapons in the Star Realm, which are perfect for my use. Moreover, last time, Qing Yuzhu, a top cosmic overlord of the Northern Frontier Alliance, traded a token of Tuoyan Valley to me. After I obtained Tuoyan, I exchanged it for the Star Blessing for her and left her over a thousand treasure points. I don't lack weapons or treasures now." Ye Muxuan slowly spoke, then looked at the nineteen powerful figures present, "I want the territory of a medium-sized cosmic kingdom so that my people can thrive and multiply."
"The Qingyuan Starfield is indeed a bit small." The Chaos City Lord, who was first on the right, was undoubtedly the universe master who knew Ye Muxuan's situation best, and he nodded upon hearing this.
"Even the largest mid-sized universe nation isn't worth a top-tier treasure weapon." Lord Peng Gong, sitting opposite the Chaos City Lord, spoke up. If it were a high-level universe nation, it naturally wouldn't be enough, but the territory of a mid-sized universe nation was something that the universe lords present could decide.
"A territory equivalent to a medium-sized universe kingdom will suffice; I will send an avatar to oversee it," Ye Muxuan said slowly.
"A clone specifically went to oversee the territory of a medium-sized universe kingdom?" Among the many universe lords present, there was some surprise about this matter.
Having a single avatar stationed in a location—even if this is considered the clan and homeland of a Universe Lord, it's still quite a luxury. Most Universe Lords reside in important locations within their clans, places where numerous immortal beings of the human race reside, as well as talented descendants who require protection. For example, several Universe Lords reside in the Primal Secret Realm, and the same is true for the Giant Axe Secret Realm.
As for their hometown, they simply send cosmic venerables and immortals from under the demonic realm to look after it. Moreover, there is a divine kingdom passage, so if there is any unexpected situation, they can go there directly.
However, Ye Muxuan was, after all, the Lord of the Universe of the Virtual Universe Company. Since the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Darkness did not speak up, others could not interfere.
"Chaos, you can handle this matter. The Mingyou Universe Kingdom belongs to the Virtual Universe Company," the savage giant said, then looked at Ye Muxuan and said, "The last thing is your title of Universe Lord, Muxuan. Do you plan to continue using the title of Shadow Blade Lord, or will you change it?"
Generally, the Lord of the Universe will retain the title they held when they were crowned King or Venerable. However, some may have other ideas and want to change it, which requires their own decision. As long as it's not too outrageous, others will not and cannot interfere.
Ye Muxuan did not secretly advance to the position of Universe Lord, but rather brazenly killed a Universe Lord on the Primordial Star. This matter has already spread like wildfire among the powerful beings of various races in the Primordial Universe. Humanity will certainly also publicize the title of Universe Lord to demonstrate the strength of the human race. Therefore, Ye Muxuan needs to establish the title himself.
"Shadow Blade is a title given by the alien races back in the battlefield outside the domain. Since it has been used ever since, we won't change it now. We can discuss it again if we have any other ideas later," Ye Muxuan said after a moment's thought.
"Very well!" The savage giant at the head of the table glanced at the nineteen powerful figures present and spoke, making a decisive statement, "The nineteenth Universe Lord of my human race is the Shadow Blade Lord!"
