Chapter 594 Trading Traps
"Three to five times?" The Lord of Chaos City was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "Even if it can only be used three to five times, that's still amazing! Junior Brother Chu Yang, your weapon-refining skills have probably already surpassed those of the God of Craftsmen, haven't they?"
Chu Yang waved his hand, feigning modesty: "Senior brother, you flatter me. I was just lucky."
He was secretly pleased with himself. The weapon-forging memories of the Primordial Chu Yang and the Chu Yang of other worlds over the years, as well as his application of various laws, were far beyond what the God of Craftsmen could compare to.
The Lord of Chaos City stared at the Qiankun Disc, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.
He reached out, wanting to touch the Qiankun Disc, but hesitated. "This treasure is so precious, I..."
"Senior brother, feel free to give it a try," Chu Yang said with a smile.
The Lord of Chaos then carefully placed his hand on the Qiankun Disc.
A strange energy fluctuation instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel as if he were in chaos, and everything around him became blurry.
"This...this is..."
The Lord of Chaos City exclaimed in surprise, but before he could finish speaking, an invisible force stopped him from speaking, and his eyes were immediately filled with shock.
He quickly withdrew his hand, as if he had touched something forbidden.
Chu Yang shook his head, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Chu Yang instantly understood that this was a restriction imposed on them by the will of the universe!
The Lord of Chaos City's expression shifted several times before finally letting out a long sigh: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed! Junior Brother Chu Yang, your treasure is far too heaven-defying!"
His eyes were filled with complex emotions: shock, envy, and joy.
Chu Yang shrugged, looking indifferent: "Senior brother, there's no need to worry. Although this Qiankun Disc is powerful, it also has obvious flaws. It can only be used three to five times before it breaks down. Moreover, I spent a great deal of effort refining this Qiankun Disc."
"Three to five times..." The Chaos City Lord smiled bitterly, "Three to five times is enough to change the outcome of a war! Junior Brother Chu Yang, this treasure of yours will likely attract the covetous eyes of major powers throughout the universe!"
Chu Yang smiled dismissively: "When soldiers come, I'll block them; when water comes, I'll dam it. Who have I, Chu Yang, ever feared?"
Looking at Chu Yang's confident demeanor, the Lord of Chaos City felt both gratified and worried.
It's gratifying that Chu Yang possesses such formidable strength, but worrying that his brilliance is too conspicuous, easily attracting the frenzied assassination attempts of the other three major clans.
It's a bit better among human groups, but if I go to other places, I'll have to arrange for an avatar to secretly follow me!
Yes, before Chu Yang broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of Chaos City had always secretly instructed Chu Yang to carry his token, so that if there was any danger, his clone could immediately teleport to the scene.
Of course, this is on the premise that Chu Yang avoids dangerous places, such as the Primal Star and the Ancestral Mystic Realm.
Chu Yang bid farewell to the Lord of Chaos City, and in a flash, he disappeared from the Lord's mansion.
The next moment, he appeared in his private palace within the Ancestral Mystic Realm.
"Overlord of Yueshan, I am the Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws of the Human Race." Chu Yang directly contacted Overlord of Yueshan through the contact method of the Glory World.
In the world of Glory, the Overlord of Yueshan sat regally in a magnificent palace. Upon hearing Chu Yang's voice, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on his face, but his tone was extremely enthusiastic: "Venerable Master of Ten Thousand Laws, I have long admired your name! I never expected you would take the initiative to contact me; it is truly an honor!"
"You're too kind, Lord Yue Shan. I'm contacting you this time to discuss a deal," Chu Yang said bluntly.
"Oh? What kind of deal? Venerable Wanfa, please feel free to say whatever you want. As long as it's within my power, I will do my best," Yue Shan Overlord said, feigning generosity.
"I heard you have a top-tier realm-class treasure you'd like to trade. I'm very interested in it. Would you be willing to part with it?"
Chu Yang stated his purpose directly.
A glint of light flashed in Yue Shan Overlord's eyes, and he was secretly delighted: "As expected, it was all for this supreme treasure! It seems that this Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws is nothing more than this; in the end, he was blinded by the treasure."
The Overlord of Yueshan laughed heartily, his voice deep and resonant like a bell: "Venerable Wanfa is too kind. Your name is renowned and I have long admired you! It is my honor to trade with you."
"I'm naturally willing to part with the top-tier domain-level treasure you requested, but the price..."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his eyes gleaming.
Chu Yang didn't beat around the bush and directly offered his bargaining chips: "Five high-grade treasures, plus this Qian Blade Disc, how about it?"
As he spoke, Chu Yang took out the information on the Qian Blade Disc and the five high-grade treasures.
Because it was in the world of Glory, the full power of the treasure could not be displayed. However, after seeing the information about the Qian Blade Disc, Yue Shan Overlord's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing became rapid.
He didn't recognize the Qian Blade Plate, nor had he ever heard of such a treasure, but its mysterious patterns and ancient aura all pointed to its extraordinary nature.
The image alone gave him a strange sense of oppression; this was definitely not an ordinary psychic-powered treasure!
"The Qian Blade Disc, a supreme treasure of peak psychic power, plus five other high-grade treasures, is worth more than your Thousandfold Water Domain!"
The overlord of Yueshan's eyes darted around as he quickly calculated in his mind.
The Qian Dao Pan is indeed very valuable, but no matter what, it will never end up in his hands. Even among those five high-grade treasures, it would be quite good if he could get one or two of them in the end!
After all, this Thousandfold Water Domain was brought out by the Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon Clan. If it weren't for the need to complete this plan, it wouldn't have been given to him.
"Alright, since Venerable Wanfa is so agreeable, I won't refuse any longer."
The overlord of Yueshan gritted his teeth, feigning a reluctant parting, and said, "Deal!"
"Great!" A barely perceptible smile played on Chu Yang's lips. "Three days from now, we'll trade at Tranquil Lake within the Tide Beast Secret Realm of the Ancestral Mystic Realm!"
"Alright!" After thinking for a while, Yue Shan Overlord nodded in agreement.
After ending the call, Chu Yang immediately set off for the place mentioned.
This Tide Beast Secret Realm was once the place where a special life form called the "Tide Beast" lived in the primordial universe. However, this special life form perished during an adventure in the cosmic sea, so this secret realm is now devoid of any life.
This Beast Realm is considered one of the more remote secret realms among the many secret realms of the Ancestral God Sect.
Within this secret realm, spacetime passages exist everywhere, many of which lead to dangerous places, or even to the realm of universe rulers. One wrong move and you could suffer a great loss.
Chu Yang chose this place partly because of these spacetime tunnels, since no one knows where these spacetime tunnels lead.
It's not surprising that Yue Shan Overlord agreed. In Chu Yang's view, if this incident was a scheme by the three major races of demons, insects, and machines, they would definitely attack him at the crucial moment of the transaction.
At that time, these time-space tunnels might be Chu Yang's best chance to escape!
Although Chu Yang was very confident in his ability to survive, he was helpless if the three major races sent multiple universe lords to kill him, or even their strongest members.
However, within the Ancestral God Cult, the three races must also have their concerns, and it is estimated that at most they will send one Universe Lord with the ability to create clones to kill them.
Moreover, the opponent will most likely only have one or two chances to make a move.
After all, this is within the territory of the Ancestral God Sect, where the Five-Colored Aurora Lake exists. Any fluctuation from any action could alert the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, thereby attracting the Universe Lord of the Ancestral God Sect to come over.
In the original story, the three major clans invited the strongest lone wolf, the True Demon God, to assassinate Luo Feng. However, they did not expect that one of the three ancestral gods was hiding next to Luo Feng and saved him in time.
Within the Beast Realm, there lies a place called Tranquil Lake. Though called a lake, it is more like a small ocean, boundless and rippling with azure waves.
When Chu Yang arrived, it was early morning, and the golden sunlight shone on the water, making it sparkle and look beautiful.
The area around Jingxin Lake is filled with strangely shaped rocks and towering peaks, creating a rather spectacular landscape.
Chu Yang looked around and saw the Azure Peak Domain silently spreading out, covering an area of millions of kilometers.
Just as the intelligence indicated, there was absolutely no sign of life here, not even the slightest energy fluctuation could be detected; it was eerily quiet.
Not long after, a streak of light appeared on the distant horizon and rapidly approached. It was none other than the cosmic overlord, Yue Shan Overlord, whose size spanned hundreds of kilometers.
In comparison, Chu Yang's divine body was quite small.
As soon as Yue Shan Overlord landed, he greeted him with a beaming smile: "Venerable Master of Ten Thousand Laws, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, haha..."
"You're too kind, Overlord of Yueshan," Chu Yang replied with a forced smile as he stood up.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Overlord of Yueshan couldn't wait to get to the point: "Venerable Wanfa, this is the Thousandfold Water Domain you requested. Take a look." With that, he flipped his hand, and a crystal-clear treasure shaped like a water droplet appeared in his palm, emitting a faint blue halo, as if it contained a vast ocean.
Chu Yang used his divine power to sweep across the "Thousand Layers of Waters" and began to observe it carefully.
This treasure appears unremarkable on the outside, but its interior is filled with a surging, pure, and incredibly potent water elemental power—exactly what he urgently needs right now.
He nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, this is it."
Then, Chu Yang took out five high-grade treasures and the Qiankun Disc, saying, "These are what I promised you. Please check them."
The moment Yue Shan Overlord saw the Qiankun Disc, his breathing quickened, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Although he did not recognize this treasure, the ancient and mysterious aura emanating from it, as well as the heart-palpitating pressure, all indicated its extraordinary nature.
He suppressed his excitement and, feigning composure, scanned the Qiankun Disc with his divine sense, examining it carefully.
"No problem, Venerable Wanfa truly keeps his word. These six treasures are indeed as you said before!"
A slight smile appeared on Yue Shan's lips.
Even the Lord of Chaos City couldn't see the abnormality of the Qian Blade Disc, so how could the Overlord of Yue Mountain, a cosmic overlord, possibly see it?
Chu Yang couldn't explain it either.
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "Since it's confirmed, let's make the deal!"
"What's the rush?" Yue Shan Overlord, contrary to his usual demeanor, sneered, "Kill you, and your treasures, along with this Thousand Layers of Water, will still be mine!"
Chu Yang's smile froze on his face, and he sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, things weren't that simple.
The scheme that the three clans laid out to deal with him was so grand!
"Yue Shan, are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
Chu Yang's voice was icy cold, like a thousand years of frozen ice.
"Haha, Venerable Master of Ten Thousand Laws, you're too naive!"
The overlord of Yueshan burst into laughter, his voice filled with disdain. "Who do you think you are? Just an Immortal, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of me?"
"It seems you're determined to die." A cold glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.
"Die? I think you're the one who'll die!" The overlord of Yueshan sneered, and a giant axe suddenly appeared in his hand, radiating a chilling aura. This giant axe was completely black, and its blade was extremely sharp, as if it could cleave the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, in the inner world of Yue Shanba, Min Man, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.
Before Yue Shan Overlord finished speaking, the space behind him rippled, and a figure gracefully stepped out.
This was a tall woman with long purple hair cascading over her shoulders, a cold and beautiful face, and icy light flashing in her eyes.
The moment she appeared, time and space seemed to freeze, and an invisible pressure enveloped Chu Yang.
"It's actually the Lord of Minman!" Chu Yang's heart sank as he instantly recognized the newcomer.
Most of the Zerg universe rulers are known for their soul attacks, and this Minman ruler is one of the best among them!
Almost at the same time that Chu Yang recognized the Lord of Minman, an invisible attack silently arrived, piercing straight into his soul.
This attack was ethereal yet contained a world-destroying power, enough to instantly obliterate the soul of an ordinary universe venerable.
"Hmph, trying to control me? Dream on!" Chu Yang sneered inwardly.
Deep within his mind, the majestic palace of his soul trembled slightly, instantly neutralizing the attack.
Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Minman's eyes.
She never expected that an immortal being could withstand her soul attack.
"Interesting. It seems there's a treasure of the soul defense type!" Lord Minman smirked. "However, that's all."
As soon as she finished speaking, she unleashed her strongest secret technique, which was also the foundation that made her comparable to a fifth-order universe master!
"Falling Lotus Star..."
Lord Minman's slender fingers traced a strange arc in the void, and a huge, transparent lotus flower appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating.
The edges of the lotus petals burned with eerie blue flames, and a suffocating aura of death permeated the air.
This is her signature move – Falling Lotus Star, a soul technique that can kill most first- and second-tier universe lords with a single strike.
If the first soul attack was a test, then this move is the final blow!
Even a cosmic lord with a high-level soul defense treasure would find it difficult to withstand, let alone an immortal.
The black lotus spun rapidly, faster and faster, until it finally transformed into a transparent stream of light that shot towards Chu Yang.
Chu Yang's expression was solemn; he dared not be careless.
Although the Soul Palace guards his soul, he has never suffered such a terrifying soul attack before, and he doesn't know if the Soul Palace can withstand it.
Before Chu Yang could think further, the soul palace shone brightly, and golden runes appeared, forming an indestructible defense on his body.
The black streak of light instantly struck and penetrated the body, and as soon as it entered, it unleashed a deafening roar.
Not only that, but an extremely powerful force retaliated, striking back along the direction of the transparent light at ten times its speed. (End of Chapter)
