Chapter 316: The interest of the hermit? Xu Yang's countermeasure!
Unable to persuade the Heaven-Swallowing Overlord, Xu Yang had to control his temper and listen.
After all, although the Heaven Devouring Overlord was a bit stubborn, he was ultimately doing it to maintain his authority... Just imagine, if even his teacher didn't have the qualifications to overstep his authority, who among the remaining powerful men of the Heavenly Wolf Clan would have the qualifications? !
"Venerables in the clan, I have sent out a total of twenty people. Although you said that the task of finding high-powered special life forms has been slowed down, it is still good to let them go out and move around."
Xu Yang nodded. He was the one who gave the order to slow down. Now his gene multiples had increased to nine thousand five hundred times. It was almost impossible to find special life with a higher gene multiple than this in the entire primitive universe... Even if there were any, they were not something that those middle and high-level masters could deal with.
However, he also understood what the Sky-Devouring Overlord meant. Even if he could not use these special lives, he could still raise them in the clan like the black hole special life. Once they grow up, they would become useful fighters.
After all, having a thousand times more genes is something that most of the Venerables dare not even think about.
"Then, some powerful people from the original four tribes of the Five Domain Continent want to come to our tribe for pilgrimage." When he said this, a hint of unstoppable pride appeared on the corner of the Devouring Sky Overlord's mouth.
In the past in the Five Realms Continent, although the God-Devouring Wolf Clan vaguely occupied the first position among the five clans, in fact, the other four clans were not very convinced. But now, the old guys from the four clans directly used the word "pilgrimage"!
For the Heaven-Devouring Overlord, praising the Heavenly Wolf Clan is a hundred times more effective than praising himself.
"You can arrange it as you see fit." Xu Yang raised his paw nonchalantly. Those four tribes were the first to surrender, so it was only right that they should be given some benefits.
"Okay, then I will draw up a list of six names first, Venerable Mad Python, Venerable Shadow, Venerable Dazzling Wings..." Sky-Swallowing Overlord read out the draft in his mind.
Xu Yang nodded without comment and yawned. Dealing with such things was not as comfortable as practicing.
……
In the sea of the universe, chaotic air currents permeate the air wildly.
The blood-colored light flew in the direction of the Desolate Star in a swaggering manner. Although there was no detailed information about the Desolate Star, the Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace was not distressed at all. He thought it was just a way to kill time, so he might as well choose something new.
With his strength and means, he has nothing to fear as long as he is not trapped in the real death zone of the three desperate places.
From afar, the Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace had already seen the lightning barrier covering the sky above the Desolate Star. In that barrier, arcs of lightning flashed continuously, falling on the surface of the planet and making crackling sounds.
Just as the Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace was about to land in the palace and fly towards the Desolate Star.
The corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a fleeting battle wave in the distance. Thanks to his excellent dynamic vision and thinking speed as a True God-level powerhouse, his mind automatically restored and simulated the two figures in the battle wave for him.
It's vague, but kind of familiar.
This couldn't help but arouse the interest of the Blood Cloud Palace Master.
"Let me see, um, the floating island chain?" A smile suddenly appeared on the face as cold as a rock. The Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace turned the Blood Cloud Palace and quietly went towards the floating island chain.
Floating within the island chain.
Xu Yang and the Lord of Purple Cloud were besieging a third-order evil beast, one in front and one behind, from far and one near. The size of this evil beast was no smaller than the previous one. It was covered with black scales, and it was flashing a faint cold light in the interweaving of thunder and fire. It had three dragon heads, each of which was hideous and terrifying, and could spit out thunder and fire. It was extremely powerful.
"Brother Dongshan, I think this evil beast has no new tricks. You step back for now and guard the formation for me while I kill it." The Lord of Purple Cloud dodged the head of the evil beast that was biting at him. The head was wrapped in lightning and sparks. He turned around and said to Xu Yang calmly.
"Okay!" Xu Yang didn't hesitate. He stomped his feet and retreated violently like an arrow, instantly distanced himself from the evil beast.
"Split the light!" The Purple Cloud Lord shouted, and raised the long sword 'Long River' in his hand across his chest. He quickly wiped the sword with two fingers of his left hand, and the tip of the sword suddenly burst into a brilliant light, as if illuminating the entire world for a moment. Then, he shouted loudly, "Transform into a shadow!"
The sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.
With this loud shout, the Lord of Purple Cloud was surrounded by sword shadows, which split into countless sword lights, each of which contained the power to destroy the world. These sword lights intertwined in the air to form a huge sword net, which swept towards the evil beast.
For a moment, lightning, fire and sword light intertwined, and the entire space was torn into countless black cracks by this force.
Although the evil beast was only at the third level, it only had strength but no secret skills. In addition, the two of them had already fought with the evil beast for quite some time, and it was already covered in wounds. Involuntarily, its reaction was instantly slowed down.
If divided, it can be transformed into thousands.
In reality, they are all gathered into one.
How could the Lord of Purple Cloud miss such a golden opportunity? At the moment when the evil beast was slow to react, he suddenly raised the sword in his hand, and countless scattered sword shadows gathered into one.
"cut!"
A huge golden arc of light flashed out from the tip of the sword, it was magnificent and extremely fast, much faster than the normal flying speed of the Lord of the Universe!
As the sword passed through the space, not a single sword energy leaked out. The power was so great that even Xu Yang, who was far away, felt a little nervous.
If this move had landed on him while he was unprepared, he would probably have suffered some minor injuries. If it weren't for Hui Yinshan's armor, he would have even been seriously injured.
Every master of the universe who has survived to the present day has one or two unique skills.
Three consecutive swords!
The three heads of the evil beast were like fruits cut by a sharp blade. They broke off from the neck and fell off suddenly, smashing the ground and creating a cloud of dust that covered the sky.
"burst!"
While cutting off the last head, the Lord of Purple Cloud immediately controlled the golden blade of light to shatter and explode, transforming into countless extremely powerful sword qi that directly strangled the beast into its body through the three broken neck points.
No matter what kind of creature it is, its internal body is always more fragile than its external body, even evil beasts are no exception.
The turbid evil spirits were wiped out by the sword energy.
Boom!
The corpses collapsed, creating a huge hole in the valley.
"Hahaha, it's time to reap the spoils again!" The Lord of Purple Cloud was very excited. With helpers, work went faster. In the past, when he encountered a third-level evil beast, he didn't dare to hunt it, but now he can deal with it with just some effort.
So cool!
……
Beyond the void of the floating island chain.
The Blood Cloud Palace Master, in a fluttering blood-colored robe, watched silently in the void. Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared on his face: "Is this the Lord of Dongshan? The one from the Nine Domain Alliance? Strange, I remember that he only broke through to the Lord of the Universe more than 100,000 years ago. How could his gene multiples have increased to this level? His strength is almost reaching the third level. Tsk tsk, there must be a secret."
Of course, the strongest person in the ordinary universe cannot have such a skill to see the high or low gene multiples of others at a glance, but who is the true identity of the Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace? It is Zuo Shan Ke! Zuo Shan Ke was able to guide and breed the Yan Shen Clan, a race with extraordinary physical talents, from nothing. Naturally, he has studied genes and life very deeply! So even though they are separated by hundreds of millions of kilometers, Zuo Shan Ke can tell at a glance from Xu Yang's attack, the force and power of his body during action that his current gene multiple is very high, at least 8,000 times or more.
"Make contact and observe closely." The Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace looked around and found that there were no other living beings. He immediately changed his robes, and instantly transformed from the evil and crazy Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace into a calm, simple and mysterious hermit.
The two tentacles on the forehead swayed gently, and the dim eyes seemed turbid, but in fact they seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe. The blue armor on his body was flowing with nebulae, and it was obvious at first glance that it was an extraordinary item.
As the Lord of Blood Cloud Palace, he has a grudge against the Nine Domain Alliance, so of course he cannot go in this identity. However, as the Hermit, he has a relationship with Emperor Yan, so it should be much better.
call out!
He took a step forward and, with his great skill and courage, teleported directly there.
Floating within the island chain.
Xu Yang and the Lord of Purple Cloud are using their divine powers to search everywhere and dig deep into the ground, trying to find the hidden treasures.
"Dongshan, you go to the east and I'll go to the west."
"Row."
call.
In the valley, Xu Yang was flying extremely fast towards the east.
"Huh?" Xu Yang suddenly slowed down. He frowned and looked forward. A skinny old man with snow-white skin and starry eyes suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
"A hermit?" Xu Yang frowned, he recognized the other person.
Xu Yang was extremely alert. How could he meet a hermit in such a remote place? This was too strange. Could it be that the hermit had discovered his secret and was following him?
But this shouldn't be the case. If we were discovered, Emperor Yan would have come to our door long ago.
Xu Yang's mind raced, but he had no clue. After all, this was too outrageous. The universe was so vast, yet he encountered a hermit without any preparation!
Xu Yang has always been extremely wary of the Hermit. Although he was free and alone in the original novel, he indirectly helped the human race a lot because of Luo Feng... and in this life, Xu Yang was destined to be an enemy of the human race, so Xu Yang never thought of saying hello to the Hermit.
"I didn't expect you knew me too." Zuo Shanke squinted his eyes and laughed, "But since you know me, you probably also know the relationship between me and the Emperor Yan of your alliance. There's no need to be so tense. If I really want to harm you, your defense will be useless at such a close distance."
The hermit gently stroked the ring on the little finger of his right hand with his left hand, took it off and threw it over.
Xu Yang was startled and asked, "Hermitage, what does this mean?"
It’s no wonder that Xu Yang reacted so strongly. The main reason was that he discovered that the ring lying in his palm was actually a treasure in his domain. When his divine power penetrated into it, a stream of information suddenly gushed out.
This is a domain treasure of high-level treasure level!
“Haha, just a little thing I made as a gift.” The hermit said nonchalantly, “In fact, I noticed you the last time you broke through to become the Lord of the Universe. Now, more than 100,000 years have passed, and not only has your strength greatly increased…”
"Fate has led me to meet you in this vast universe, so let's make a good connection."
For Zuo Shan Ke, this kind of high-level treasure is just something he can refine casually. If he is not afraid of giving out a treasure that is too high and it will seem abrupt and strange, he can easily take out even a top-level treasure.
The last time, he appeared in the world pretending to be the Lord of Blood Cloud Palace, and he happened to encounter this little fellow named 'Dongshan' who broke through to become the Lord of the Universe. That caused quite a stir.
And this time, it was even more strange, he just closed his eyes and randomly chose a place to kill time, but he ended up meeting this little guy named Dongshan again in the vast ocean of the universe. He hadn't seen him for more than 100,000 years, not to mention that his strength had greatly improved, but now that he came in to take a look, he must have a big secret.
It can be one or two, but not three.
This was their second meeting, and he decided to make a good acquaintance with him. If such a "coincidence" could happen again in the future, he would carefully observe this little fellow named Dongshan, and if possible, it would not be a bad idea to invest some money in him.
The main purpose of the Hermit is of course to train assistants who can help him realize his revenge wish in the future, but he has no inspiration at the moment. He wants to find inspiration from the creatures that are "focused on training" in the original universe, such as the Lord of Dongshan.
Find hope.
Only those who can carry the Star Tower in the future will have a glimmer of hope of becoming his helper on the road to revenge.
Xu Yang was still a little confused, but he was not a three-year-old child after all. Even though he was reluctant to have any in-depth contact with the hermit, he still showed a fearful expression on his face: "This treasure is a little too valuable..."
The mountain guest looked unprepared, and the interest in his eyes faded a little, obviously dissatisfied with Xu Yang's cautious attitude. In his opinion, although a genius should be respectful and polite to a strong man, he should not be so "servile" and have no arrogance at all.
Such a lack of ambition, even if he has talent, it is unlikely that he will achieve great things.
"Just keep it if I give it to you. I have never taken back anything I have given away." Waving his hand, the hermit turned around and was about to leave.
"Thank you very much, sir." Xu Yang seemed not to notice the disappointment in the hermit's eyes, and still thanked him sincerely.
"Ah."
The hermit could imagine Xu Yang's current posture without looking back, and responded coldly with a dull look.
The next moment, he disappeared in front of Xu Yang.
After a long time, Xu Yang slowly stood up from his half-bowed body. The flattering and cautious look on his face quickly faded away like the tide, and was replaced by a deep and solemn look. He knew in his heart that his previous fear and trepidation was just a stopgap measure, an elaborate disguise.
He knew that his attitude just now would reduce his points with the hermit, but he didn't mind at all. He did it on purpose.
Because, deep down, he resisted having too much contact with the hermit.
This was because the initial interests between him and Zuo Shan Ke were completely different, and there was absolutely no possibility of future cooperation.
The hermit needs to train a 'disciple' who can help him with revenge, who can carry the Star Tower, and who can practice the "Lie Yuan Shu"...but Xu Yang has no hope of obtaining these.
Then being valued and targeted by the hermit will only bring disadvantages and no advantages.
He didn't dare to look down on the hermit, nor did he dare to let the hermit stay by his side for a long time. The fall of the God King only meant that he no longer had the strength of the God King, but the God King's vision and insights were still there!
With the help of the system, Xu Yang would retrieve secret techniques and skills from the Origin Continent from time to time. Although the system had been modified, there was no guarantee that the hermit would not be able to see the clues.
Before he reaches the level of suppressing the universe, Xu Yang is unwilling to fight against the hermit. (End of this chapter)
