Chapter 549 Palace Treasures
On the other side, the Canyan Overlord saw that the Biyun Star Lord and Chu Yang were besieging Zhongzhan Venerable together. The Biyun Star Lord was a mid-level universe overlord just like them, but the Qingyun Sword in her hand was a high-level treasure that could already threaten Zhongzhan Venerable.
Immediately, a wicked plan came to mind.
"Venerable Zhongzhan, please don't blame me. My demon race has already lost a cosmic overlord, a huge loss indeed! Lord Sirius will definitely not forgive me! So I have no choice but to drag you down with me! As for Venerable Qianfan, as a member of the mechanical race, he must have many life-saving treasures on him, so he'll most likely be fine! I don't need to offend him any further!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Radiant Rock Overlord. A thought flashed through his mind, and he seized the opportunity to turn and flee at an astonishing speed.
It was because no one stopped him that he was able to escape quickly.
After leaving the forbidden area, he did not leave but instead guarded the exit.
Chu Yang and the Lord of Biyun Star did not care about the escape of the Canyan Overlord. After all, the Canyan Overlord's divine body was the largest among the three universe overlords, and even the two of them together could hardly cause him much damage!
The Azure Cloud Star Lord's eyes were icy cold. The Azure Cloud Sword hummed in her hand, its sword energy as cold as frost.
"Venerable Zhongzhan, you cannot escape!"
Chu Yang was not to be outdone. The Lu Ai Sword Gourd spun rapidly, and the domain power formed by the golden sword was like an invisible giant hand, firmly imprisoning Venerable Zhong Zhan.
"Today is your death day!" The Zanpakuto slashed through the void, its blade light crisscrossing like a bolt of lightning, sealing off all of Venerable Zhongzhan's escape routes.
Venerable Zhongzhan was suppressed by the two of them and was in a sorry state. The high-grade treasure armor on his body also became dull. If this continued, his divine body would not be able to hold on!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Venerable Zhongzhan's divine body was engulfed in raging flames, managing to withstand the attacks from Lord Biyun and Chu Yang.
Using the force of this counterattack, it flew far away again.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Lord Biyun sneered, and the Azure Cloud Sword shone brightly. A dazzling sword light ripped through the void and slammed into Venerable Zhongzhan's armor.
After fighting for so long, Chu Yang's second divine kingdom, the Underworld, finally found a glimmer of opportunity and began to integrate Fengdu into his divine kingdom.
Just as the Heavenly Palace transformed into the Heavenly Court, Fengdu finally began its metamorphosis.
Rumble~
The deafening roar was like the beginning of creation or the collapse of the universe.
Within Chu Yang's body, the second divine kingdom, the Underworld, was frantically devouring the power of Fengdu.
The once illusory city of Fengdu is now gradually solidifying, with the patterns on the city walls clearly visible, and even the ghostly soldiers roaming on them, creating a chilling and terrifying scene.
A vast and powerful pressure emanated from Chu Yang, causing even the surrounding space to subtly distort.
The golden light in his eyes shone even brighter, like two burning golden suns, scorching and intense.
At this moment, the domain power formed by the golden swords became more solid, and its power increased dramatically.
The disheveled figure of Venerable Zhongzhan came into Chu Yang's view. His high-grade treasure armor had almost completely lost its luster, and his divine body had shrunk even further.
"Damn it! How is this possible!" Venerable Zhongzhan roared in terror. At this moment, he clearly felt the threat of death.
The Lord of Azure Clouds sneered, "Zhong Zhan, your death is near!"
With that, the Azure Cloud Sword emitted a piercing sword cry in her hand, and sharp sword energies of law clung to Venerable Zhongzhan like maggots, constantly devouring his divine body.
"You want to kill me? Not so easy!"
Venerable Zhongzhan roared as he burned his divine body's essence. A violent power erupted from his body, forcefully breaking through the domain of the Lu Ai Sword Gourd and fleeing towards the exit of the forbidden area like a stray dog.
At this moment, his speed was actually slightly faster than that of Venerable Qianfan, who was using the Winged Treasure!
He covered a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers in an instant.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Biyun Star Lord shouted, and the Azure Cloud Sword transformed into a streak of light, relentlessly pursuing and stabbing straight at Venerable Zhong Zhan's back.
But the speed was still a bit slow.
However, at that moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared from the entrance and struck the unsuspecting Venerable Zhongzhan, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily back into the center of the forbidden area.
"You dare, Lord of Brilliant Rock!"
Venerable Zhongzhan roared in exasperation. The three major clans had temporarily formed an alliance to assassinate Venerable Wanfa of the human race, but who would have thought that the Overlord of Canyan would actually outmaneuver him!
The Radiant Rock Overlord grinned, revealing its stark white fangs, exuding an indescribable ferocity and terror.
"Zhong Zhan, don't think I don't know what you Zerg are plotting! If you had the chance, you would treat me the same way I did! Hmph, do you think I, Can Yan, am a fool?"
His enormous body stood at the exit of the forbidden area, like an insurmountable mountain, blocking Venerable Zhongzhan's only path to survival.
Venerable Zhongzhan was both shocked and furious. He never expected that the Overlord of Canyan would betray him at this time.
The speed he gained by burning his divine essence now became his death warrant, causing him to crash headlong into the trap of the Radiant Rock Overlord.
"Canyan, this is betrayal! You will regret it!" Venerable Zhongzhan roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"No, it was the Human Race's Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws and Lord of Azure Cloud who killed you, not me!"
After saying this, the Overlord of Brilliant Rock stopped blocking the entrance and found a safer place where his divine kingdom teleported out.
As the Azure Cloud Star Lord watched Zhong Zhan Venerable being sent flying back, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Canyan, you despicable villain!"
Although she hated the Zerg, she also despised their treacherous behavior.
Venerable Zhongzhan scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, his armor shattered and his divine body riddled with holes and covered in blood.
He stared venomously in the direction where the Brilliant Rock Overlord had disappeared, roaring, "Brilliant Rock Overlord! The cosmic ruler of my Zerg Alliance will not let you get away with this!"
Unfortunately, the Radiant Rock Overlord couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Now, it's your turn, Zhongzhan."
Chu Yang's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the deepest hell.
"snort!"
A hint of madness flashed in Venerable Zhongzhan's eyes. He began to gather all the essence of his divine body, and a destructive aura emanated from his tattered divine body, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
The Azure Cloud Star Lord's expression changed drastically: "Not good! He's going to self-destruct!"
The self-destruction of a cosmic overlord is powerful enough to destroy this forbidden area.
A golden light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, and the Lu Ai Sword Gourd spun wildly. The domain power composed of the golden swords was like a golden cage, trapping Venerable Zhong Zhan inside.
"Want to self-destruct? Not so easy!" Chu Yang snorted coldly. He was prepared and was just waiting for Venerable Zhongzhan to self-destruct.
Just as Venerable Zhongzhan's divine body was about to completely collapse, Chu Yang once again summoned the Dao Heaven Diagram.
The ancient and mysterious Dao Heaven Diagram slowly unfolded, radiating boundless pressure, like a vast starry sky, enveloping Venerable Zhongzhan within it.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment. The destructive energy generated by Venerable Zhongzhan burning his divine body's origin was rapidly absorbed by Daotiantu. His divine body, which was about to explode, shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon.
"No...impossible!" Venerable Zhongzhan stared wide-eyed in horror. He couldn't understand why his self-destruction had been stopped.
This is his last trump card!
Chu Yang sneered, "Nothing is impossible. The Dao Heaven Diagram, this supreme treasure, is beyond your imagination!"
After Venerable Zhongzhan's essence was completely drained, his last remaining body was also absorbed by the Dao Tian Diagram.
In fact, Chu Yang was also a little confused. Just now, when Venerable Zhongzhan accelerated the burning of his divine power origin, this celestial map reacted.
"Perhaps it's related to the Dao Heaven Diagram's abilities. The Dao Heaven Diagram's greatest function is 'releasing' and 'absorbing,' and absorption naturally refers to absorbing the essence of powerful beings!"
Chu Yang came up with a reason for Dao Tian Tu.
In conclusion, all of this can only be attributed to the special nature of this treasure!
After the Dao Tian Tu devoured the essence of Venerable Zhong Zhan, a faint golden light flowed across the originally simple and ancient surface of the scroll, and an even more vast and unpredictable aura spread out.
A faint ripple inexplicably appeared in the void. It was very slight, but Chu Yang still felt it.
Chu Yang looked up at the sky. He remembered that the guardian of this Star Tower, Puti, had always been there, and perhaps it was Puti who was spying on him.
A hint of shock flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Azure Cloud Star Lord. She could clearly sense the improvement in Chu Yang's strength. Although it was only a very subtle change, for powerhouses like them who had reached the level of cosmic overlords, any improvement was extremely difficult.
What caught her attention even more was the Dao Heaven Diagram, which exuded a mysterious aura; it was definitely a treasure beyond her comprehension.
"Venerable Wanfa, your treasure is quite peculiar. May I ask its origin?" Lord Biyun asked tentatively.
Chu Yang smiled faintly, put away the Dao Heaven Diagram, and said, "It's just a high-grade treasure, nothing to mention."
It wasn't that Chu Yang was unwilling to explain, but rather that he himself wasn't quite clear about the true origin of this treasure. When his senior brother Chaos gave it to him, he didn't mention its origin either.
Seeing that Chu Yang was unwilling to say more, the Lord of Biyun Star did not press the matter further.
On the other side, Venerable Qianfan, covered in blood, used his treasured longsword to kill a Zergling that charged at him, preparing to self-destruct.
He could no longer remember how many Zerg he had killed; he only knew that he had killed until his hands were sore and he was numb.
A rough estimate suggests that at least half of the Duter Zerg are dead, either from his attacks or from their own self-destruction.
However, his own divine body has already been depleted by nearly 30%!
In the final period, the Zerg almost went mad, forming groups of a hundred and directly committing suicidal self-destruction against him.
This also left him exhausted and unable to support Venerable Zhongzhan.
Twenty thousand Zerg, nearly invincible and fused with the fighting gene, managed to hold back a mid-level cosmic overlord!
Seeing Chu Yang and the Lord of Biyun Star about to attack him, Venerable Qianfan finally stopped holding back and took out a palace-shaped treasure.
Once this treasure was released, it immediately grew larger, transforming into a palace one kilometer long and wide.
The Thousand Sulfur Palace, a treasure of ordinary palaces, was a life-saving item lent to him by the Cosmic Lord of the Machine Race.
With a flap of its wings, it reappeared inside the Thousand Sulfur Palace.
Chu Yang withdrew the Dao Heaven Map, his gaze coldly fixed on the majestic Thousand Sulfur Palace, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
With a flick of his wrist, the Poison-Slaying Sword Gourd appeared in his hand.
The gourd opened, and thousands of golden swords poured out like a torrential downpour, whistling through the air as they slammed into the golden walls of the Thousand Sulfur Palace.
"Clang clang clang!" The dense sound of impact echoed through the void, like popping beans, stirring up layers of energy ripples, causing the space to tremble.
The Azure Cloud Star Lord was not to be outdone. The Azure Cloud Sword in her hand transformed into streaks of azure light, like giant azure pythons, tearing through the void and slashing fiercely towards the Thousand Sulfur Palace.
The sharp sword light collided with the defenses of the Thousand Sulfur Palace, unleashing a dazzling light that illuminated the entire starry sky.
However, the Thousand Sulfur Palace truly lived up to its reputation as a palace-type treasure. Not only was its defensive power astonishing, but Venerable Qianfan inside was completely unharmed.
Seeing that their attack had no effect, Chu Yang and the Lord of Biyun Star had no choice but to give up.
Chu Yang glanced in the direction of the Zerg. At this moment, less than half of the remaining Dut Zerg remained, and each of them had lost more than half of their divine bodies.
Chu Yang reluctantly put away the remaining Zerg. These 20,000 Zerg had taken over a thousand years to develop to this number, and half of them were wiped out in a single battle.
Moreover, the remaining Duter Zerg would incur a huge expense in order to fully restore the divine body.
Fortunately, Chu Yang had collected several of the great treasures of Venerable Taiyuan and Venerable Zhongzhan. These treasures alone were enough to make up for the losses of his insectoid race!
The Thousand Sulfur Palace transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Chu Yang and the Lord of Biyun Star stood in the starry sky, their expressions not very good.
"Damn it, he got away!"
Chu Yang spat, his tone filled with resentment, and slammed his fist into the void, causing ripples to spread through the space.
The Lord of Azure Clouds sighed softly, sheathed his Azure Cloud Sword, and said helplessly, "This Venerable Qianfan is indeed decisive. As soon as he saw that things were not going well, he immediately ran away. The Thousand Sulfur Palace is a treasure bestowed by the Lord of the Mechanical Race's Universe. Its defensive power is astonishing. With the strength of the two of us, it is indeed difficult to break through it."
Chu Yang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Lord Biyun, thank you for your help. I will remember this kindness!"
The Lord of Azure Clouds laughed, "Venerable One of Ten Thousand Laws, you are too kind. This time, the three major races—the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race—broke their agreement. I need to report this matter to the Palace Master of the Hong Alliance as soon as possible. In fact, the Lord of Chaos City is also here. Right now, he is in a corner outside the Star Tower!"
"Oh? My senior brother is here too?"
Chu Yang was startled; the Lord of Chaos City hadn't mentioned this to him.
On second thought, it made sense. Chu Yang believed that the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race all had cosmic masters watching over this place.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the Lord of Biyun Star took his leave.
The outer perimeter of the Star Tower.
The Lord of Chaos City sat upright on an ordinary rocky planet, his gaze fixed on the three figures in the distance.
The battle at the Star Tower was instigated by these three cosmic lords, and the Chaos City Lord has come to demand an explanation!
"Lord of Sirius, Lord of the Nether Lotus, Lord of the Balance Strings, the outer battlefield forbids anyone above the Immortal level from entering. Do you intend to incite a war between your races?"
The Lord of Chaos looked down at the three cosmic lords. The battle inside the Star Tower had ended. If it weren't for his appearance, which suppressed the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and the Lord of the Nether Lotus, these two would probably have disregarded their pride and gone straight into the Star Tower to rescue people.
These three dared not be careless in front of the Lord of Chaos City, after all, the title of Lord of Chaos City was not just for show.
In the cosmic sea, the Lord of Chaos City can be considered the second strongest among all humans! (End of Chapter)
