Chapter 280 Mysterious Cube
Three drops of crystal clear blood fell. They looked like liquid, but they were actually the crystallization of divine power containing the soul imprints of the three venerables of the Huoyang clan.
pat!
The three colored liquids gathered together, and then with a whoosh, they drilled into the shadow of the ancient tree behind the three monsters.
"Buzz!"
A purple-black light suddenly swept out from the ancient tree's shadow, and then turned into nothingness behind it. All of a sudden, a terrifying pressure swept over!
"Interesting, it's actually made with overlord-level special life. I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't activated." Xu Yang couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that the Sheep Tribe had some background.
It makes sense. The Lord of the Trouble Sheep was born at the beginning of the primitive universe. The primitive universe of that era was full of treasures, and all kinds of rare and exotic materials were countless. They were clearly placed everywhere in the starry sky, and you could just pick them up.
"Huh? It's just an empty shell. Where are the genes of this special life?"
Xu Yang controls the surrounding space and time. Now that the shadow of the ancient tree has become solid, he naturally wants to find out what's going on. After all, he can improve his genetic level by devouring the genes of special life forms.
"How strange, the bones and blood left behind by the Natural Beast God can still be preserved intact...how come there is not even a trace of the genes of this special plant life?" Xu Yang was confused. After all, normal soul destruction only eliminates the soul imprint, but in fact the genetic information will still be left behind.
Moreover, if he wants to preserve the body and only destroy the gene fragments in each divine power cell, it will be an extremely troublesome thing for Xu Yang now... He is even not sure whether he has the ability to do it.
It’s nothing, it’s just too troublesome.
It's just like asking an ordinary person to peel a basket of sesame seeds. It's troublesome and has no benefits.
However, the three demons of the Lord of Disaster naturally did not know what Xu Yang was thinking. This ancient tree treasure house was indeed well built by the Lord of the Disaster Sheep in ancient times. It is now the largest treasure house of the Disaster Sheep Clan. Many things that do not involve the real background are placed here. The treasures that really involve the background are naturally placed on the clone of the Lord of Disaster who is hiding in the endless distance.
After all, Xu Yang was not the first Lord of the Universe to come and "borrow". If he had placed these high-level treasures in the treasury, they would have been taken away by the Lords of the Universe long ago.
When the ancient tree was completely solidified, Lord Evil said respectfully, "Please go first."
Xu Yang did not suspect any trick. His divine power had already entered into it before him. He laughed heartily, pointed the tip of his claws at the void, and suddenly rushed out.
The diameter of the solid ancient tree was so huge that even Xu Yang's huge body, which was nearly 10,000 kilometers in diameter, was dwarfed by it. Entering from the open door of the treasure house, unlike the starry sky outside, what appeared in front of Xu Yang was an endless sea of materials.
Inside, all kinds of rare minerals exist in piles, and there are huge shelves one after another that are like mountains, on which are placed all kinds of rare medicinal materials and spiritual fruits in the universe. The rich aroma seems to be condensed into substance, hovering in the air.
"The background is quite deep..."
Looking at the endless ocean-like metal mines and spiritual medicines, Xu Yang couldn't help but be shocked. He was the Lord of the Universe, and his vision was indeed very high, but he had never seen such a seemingly boundless treasure house.
He had been to the treasure house of the God Devouring Wolf Clan, and it was far less shocking than that of the Sheep Tribe. It was not that the God Devouring Wolf Clan was not as good as the Sheep Tribe, but that their accumulation was not as deep! The foundation of the Sheep Tribe in those days seemed quite terrifying.
"Hehe, look, the books you need are in the center of this treasure house." The reason why Lord Ernan dared to show this treasure house to Xu Yang was naturally because in his eyes these things were not enough to attract Xu Yang's greed... There were many things in the treasure house, which were the wealth accumulated by the Huoyang Clan for countless years, that is, the treasures. These things could not be purchased with these "conventional resources", otherwise, with the things in this treasure house, it would not be a problem to buy eight or ten treasures.
According to the thinking of the Lord of Disaster, ordinary treasures have no appeal in the eyes of the Lord of the Universe, let alone these scattered conventional resources.
However, he underestimated Xu Yang's current "poverty". Moreover, although Xu Yang and the Huoyang Clan were not enemies, they did have some grudges against each other. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, Xu Yang naturally didn't mind making a killing!
After all, his kingdom of God is so vast, and he will definitely have to raise a large number of living creatures in it in the future. These "conventional resources" are not of much use to him, but they are just right for his subordinates.
"Don't worry, it's a disaster." Xu Yang said.
"Hmm?" Lord Evil hurried forward and said respectfully, "You go ahead."
The Lord of Disaster had a vague feeling of foreboding. This great being seemed to be a little different from the previous demon universe master who had come here... There was something wrong with the way he looked at these resources...
This is also because of the experience of the Lord of Disaster, so it is said that inertial thinking kills demons. He did not think that the demon universe masters who came here before, all of them had eaten a lot in the Battle of Rise. With the size and treasure of the royal family under their command, they naturally looked down on the things of the Disaster Sheep Clan.
But Xu Yang is different, he has only risen recently, and the God Devouring Wolf Clan was established because of the expulsion of the Heaven Devouring Overlord, and the Heaven Devouring Overlord was driven away with nothing. A Overlord-level strongman, especially an Overlord who loves to spend money to buy opportunities for his disciples, can't save any money at all!
What's more, Xu Yang was too embarrassed to exploit the Sky-Devouring Wolf Clan. After all, he had cultivated his own power. He couldn't just make a breakthrough himself and drain the treasures accumulated by the Clan for billions of epochs before giving it any benefits.
Therefore, Xu Yang did not hide his desire to make extra money.
"I just made a breakthrough recently and I'm currently lacking some resources. You see..." Xu Yang said directly, while waving his claws at the mines and medicine seas in the distance. Of course, the huge library that was vaguely visible in the center of the entire treasure house was not included.
"Ah?" The Lord of Disaster was completely dumbfounded. It was the first time he encountered such a situation. He did not expect that the most unlikely thing would actually happen.
Although Xu Yang didn't finish his words, Lord Evil naturally knew what he meant. He could only smile with a bitter sheep face and trembling mouth: "It is our blessing that my tribe can contribute a little to you."
The corner of Xu Yang's mouth curled up into a smile. Since he was so tactful, then let's just write off the past events. Although the Sheep Tribe had never intentionally caused him any harm before... it was just because he traveled through time and space and landed in this place, it was really an unprovoked disaster.
After all, the prison battlefield is not an invention of the Sheep Tribe alone; the entire border star zone of the Demon Tribe does the same.
Without rushing to collect resources, Xu Yang stepped directly over the mountains and seas below and landed towards the library in the center.
The library is a towering wooden building, which should have been carved from the core of the ancient tree. When Xu Yang and the other monsters landed on it, the dust in front of the library also rippled. It was obvious that this place had been sealed for many years.
"These are all treasures, how can we let them gather dust?" Xu Yang criticized softly.
The Lord of Disasters did not dare to say that his three demons had been stuck and could not move forward, so he could only bow his head and apologize. See, weakness is the original sin. It is obviously his own thing, but outsiders forced him to take it away and watch it, and he was scolded and criticized.
Xu Yang walked in the library and found many doors and secret rooms, which were obviously arranged according to categories. He pushed open a door with his claws, and then saw a tide of dust pouring out from the secret room. The dim color filled his eyes, but there was also a burst of extraordinary aura surging in the air.
The bookshelf is full of books, one after another. These are certainly not all secret methods created by the Huoyang Clan. Xu Yang waved his claws and picked up one at random, and found that it was a secret method created by a weak tribe that had long disappeared in the long river of history. It was very crude and unsystematic, but in that era when everything was flourishing, it was already considered pretty good.
After all, the cultivation system is constantly evolving, and the older it is, the stronger it is not.
Of course, when it comes to the level of the Lord of the Universe, it is a different story. At this level, everyone is a great being who has fully comprehended the two superior laws. They may not have returned to their roots, but the secret methods they created are all great works that can directly point to the core of the laws.
Otherwise, in the original book, the human race would not have created 52 chaos monuments in the initial universe. No, in the era where Xu Yang is now, there are definitely not as many as 52.
Those Chaos Monuments, even the worst one in terms of understanding can become a Venerable, because the creators of the monuments left their own "Tao" in them. For later generations who go to comprehend them, it is like having a teacher analyzing the laws for you, which is of course incredible!
As far as Xu Yang knows, there are similar things among the monsters.
It is said that similar inheritance sites have been established within the eighteen royal families and those top royal families. However, because the demon family does not have a leader as powerful as the original ancestor who can completely unify the major royal families and royal families, then naturally the royal families and royal families who own such top-level inheritance sites will use these places for their own groups.
Unlike the human race, they would select geniuses from the entire territory and then give them the opportunity to comprehend. For the various tribes in the demon race, the demon race is just a big alliance! The tribes can cooperate closely with each other, but no matter how close they are, they are not as close as the real tribes! The real good things must be kept by their own people.
Xu Yang's expression was calm. He didn't waste any words and didn't care whether the books were of high or low level. He just flipped through them one by one.
Some glanced at it, some paused for a moment...
In just a few minutes, he had read all the books in the secret room. This speed was so fast that even the Lord of Disaster, who had been following Xu Yang, was astonished.
As expected of the Lord of the Universe, he finished reading a room full of secret techniques in just a few minutes.
Swish!
Opening the next secret room, Xu Yang continued to browse.
He climbed up level by level, like sweeping a building, and quickly swept through each secret room… Most of the things he found were useless, but there were also many bright spots. He was very knowledgeable and talented, and this was not a scam.
Wow!
Another gust of dust blew in Xu Yang's face. He looked uneasy. The Lord of Disaster who was following behind him was worried that Xu Yang would be killed if he was unhappy.
"Is this the last secret room?" Xu Yang looked into the room with a sharp gaze, but the things inside were a little different from what he had imagined, so he turned around and asked Lord Disaster.
"Yes, this is what our ancestors left behind." Lord Disaster replied, "Every great being that comes here will take a piece away, even the Dream Demon Ancestor took it away."
"Oh?"
Xu Yang's figure flashed, and he rushed out as fast as lightning, but his eyes were locked on the depths of the secret room. There, there were stones scattered on the ground, like regular cubic building blocks, with circles of ring-shaped patterns on the surface. Faintly, Xu Yang felt a fluctuation from them that even made him a little palpitating...
Very faint, almost unnoticeable.
"What is this?" Xu Yang did not touch it rashly. After all, these blocks gave him an instinctive feeling of discomfort.
The Lord of Disaster flew over. It was obvious that Xu Yang was not the first to ask such a question. He said with ease, "This is what our ancestor brought back from the universe sea. Our ancestor never told us what it was. We only know that our ancestor attached great importance to these things. During that period of time, our ancestor almost locked himself up here all day to study... Until the outbreak of the War of Rise, our Disaster Sheep Clan was also affected, and our ancestor was ambushed and died."
Xu Yang didn't want to listen to what Lord Disaster said next. He only noticed that these things came from the cosmic sea.
It's definitely not a rare object. If it was a rare object, the original universe would have been in turmoil long ago. Besides, there couldn't be so many rare objects. Xu Yang roughly counted them and found that there were no less than 20 pieces piled here. In addition, the universe masters of the demon race mentioned by the Lord of Disaster each took one piece. Obviously, there were at least 40 pieces here!
If the Lord of the Disaster Sheep brought back forty rare objects from the sea of the universe, I am afraid that there would be no need to wait until the battle of rise. The original universe would immediately mobilize all the original universe creatures to drown the Disaster Sheep tribe.
"Why did the Lord of the Universe who came here before only take one? Is there any explanation?" This was Xu Yang's second point of confusion.
Logically speaking, this was something that the Lord of the Woe Sheep brought back from the Universe Sea. After the Lord of the Woe Sheep fell, the entire Woe Sheep Clan had no right to resist, so how could they dare to set a requirement that each person take one? Wouldn't the first Lord of the Universe who came here just sweep up all these things and be done with it?
Is there any hidden story behind this?
The Lord of Disaster chuckled, his voice a little mysterious: "I don't know the principle of this, but it is said that only one can take one."
So evil?
Xu Yang raised his eyebrows. How did the Lord of the Sheep of Misfortune bring these cubes back to the original universe from the universe sea? Could it be that he is more powerful than the Dream Demon Ancestor?
Wow!
With doubts in his heart and after observing for a long time, Xu Yang decided to take action. Since the previous masters of the universe had taken this thing without any disaster, there was no reason why he would be in trouble.
Click.
Xu Yang grabbed two blocks with one claw and opened his eyes suddenly.
