Chapter 431 Confrontation!
Thorn Ring Alliance?
Xu Yang nodded slightly. In the original book, this was a top force at the same level as the Nine Domain Alliance. It also had double-digit universe masters who were good at assassination and intelligence, and walked the dark side of the original universe.
Although he didn't know when the Thorn Ring Alliance in the original book was established, he didn't think it was now.
Now, all timelines have been disrupted by his great power and have lost a lot of reference value.
But at the same time, doesn’t this add a lot of fun?
Yes, in the eyes of Xu Yang, who is at the ninth level, the combination of these three super powers has, in some ways, reduced the difficulty for the demon race to dominate the original universe.
Moreover, in many cases, the stronger the strength on paper is not necessarily the stronger the combat effectiveness.
In the extremely powerful era of the First Universe, the God's Eye Clan had seven of the strongest people in the universe, the Skeleton Clan had four of the strongest people in the universe, and the number of other miscellaneous strongest people in the universe was also in double digits.
Although the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan has the strength of the ninth level, the Skeleton Lord of the Skeleton Clan is also at the top of the eighth level, and can be called a pseudo-ninth-level existence. Even if he cannot defeat the True Lord of the Divine Eye, he can still stop him.
In this case, if we only talk about the number and comprehensive strength of the strongest people in the universe, the Skeleton Clan combined with those idle strongest people in the universe must be much stronger than the God's Eye Clan, but why did the God's Eye Clan dominate the first universe era in the end?
It's simply that the God's Eye Clan comes from the same ethnic group and works together, while the Skeleton Clan and those idle strongest beings in the universe, although claiming to be an alliance, are definitely not able to give their wholeheartedly, so how can they defeat the God's Eye Clan?
Similarly, but more advantageously, the demon clan that Xu Yang belongs to now has the equivalent of five of the strongest people in the universe. Not only can they work together, but they also have an advantage in paper combat power because of his three ninth-level clones.
Xu Yang couldn’t figure out how to lose!
……
Nine Realm Alliance, in the void outside the God Yanshen realm.
Two figures emerged from nothingness. They were Dongshan's true body and the Lord of Ziyun who had rushed back to the alliance.
"Although Dongshan, you are now much stronger than the other two, but everyone doesn't know yet, so we can only let Emperor Yan show off his power first." The Lord of Purple Cloud said softly. In terms of relationship, he is naturally closer to the Lord of Dongshan. After all, he invested in Dongshan when it was just the overlord of the universe. Therefore, no matter what he said, he supported the Lord of Dongshan.
"Emperor Yan is just a small matter. Now it mainly depends on what those three super powers say." Xu Yang has been in a high position for a long time, so even a casual word he says carries great majesty.
"Well, I heard that those three superpowers have all sent people, so we can go up and take a look." The Purple Cloud Lord nodded and said, "We are definitely not the last to arrive."
Wow.
The two of them shuttled towards the center of the Yanshen Mysterious Realm.
now.
In the center of the Yanshen mysterious land, a towering palace was suspended in the void, surrounded by blazing flames, like a torch that would never go out.
This is the core area of the Yanshen clan and also the residence of Emperor Yan.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was solemn. Emperor Yan and Lord of Eternal Freeze stood side by side, and behind them stood five or six Lords of the Universe from the Nine Domain Alliance. Each of them had a deep aura and an imposing presence like the sea.
Emperor Yan was wearing red armor, his hands hanging down, and flames swirling around him, like a god of war walking out of flames. His torch-like eyes swept forward, with a hint of arrogance and confidence in his expression.
The Lord of Eternal Freeze beside him was wearing an ice-blue robe, exuding an air of chilliness that formed a sharp contrast with the fiery Emperor Yan. At this moment, his eyes were equally cold, as if they could freeze everything.
Wow~~~
A space vortex suddenly appeared, and in the center of the palace, envoys from the three tribes suddenly appeared and stood in a row.
The Crystal Clan envoy was crystal clear, as if carved from crystal, and radiated a soft glow. The Prison Clan envoy was dressed in black armor, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes. The Northern Frontier Alliance envoy was a burly giant, with skin as rough as rock and a breath as heavy as a mountain.
"You three have come a long way, thank you for your hard work." Emperor Yan spoke first, his voice was loud and clear, with an unquestionable majesty, "But I have already rejected the invitation, why are the three tribes bothering you to make a wasted trip?"
The Crystal Clan envoy smiled slightly, his voice as clear as jade hitting each other: "Emperor Yan is joking. As far as I know, the Nine Realms Alliance is a loose alliance, and there is no leader... So how can this be a wasted trip?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm on his thin lips: "Oh? From what you said, do you think that I, Emperor Yan, can't be the leader of the Nine Domain Alliance?"
The Crystal Clan envoy still had a smile on his face, and his tone was calm but sharp: "Emperor Yan misunderstood. I heard that the Nine Realms Alliance has always been based on the principle of equal consultation, and any major decision requires the joint consultation of the Lords of the Universe. Therefore, we came here this time, hoping to have in-depth exchanges with the high-level officials of the Nine Realms Alliance, rather than just talking to Emperor Yan alone."
Emperor Yan snorted coldly, and flames suddenly rose around him. The hot breath swept across the entire palace, as if to burn everything to ashes. The three universe masters behind him also released their pressure, obviously supporting Emperor Yan.
However, the Lord of Everfreeze raised his hand gently at this moment, and a icy force instantly spread out, offsetting most of the pressure of Emperor Yan's flames. He said calmly: "Emperor Yan, please be patient. What the Crystal Clan envoy said is not without reason. The Nine Domain Alliance is indeed not a place for arbitrary decisions."
Emperor Yan frowned, turned to look at the Lord of Everfreeze, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Eternal Freeze, what do you mean by this?"
The Lord of Everfreeze had a calm expression, his eyes as deep as a cold pond. “What I mean is, since the envoys of the three tribes have come from afar, we might as well listen to their proposals. After all, the threat of the demon tribe is imminent, and any possible cooperation is worth considering.”
Emperor Yan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Yongdong, you are quite generous. However, don't forget who the Nine Domain Alliance relies on to have its current status!"
The Lord of Everfreeze was unmoved and said calmly, "Oh? Who is it?"
"Is it you? Me? Or is it that mysterious hermit who is hard to find?"
"Compared to these, I believe more in the credit of all the universe masters of our Nine Domain Alliance!"
As he spoke, the two Universe Lords behind the Lord of Everfreeze stepped forward together and stood firmly beside the Lord of Everfreeze. Although the conversation between the two was calm, there was an undercurrent between the lines. Obviously, within the Nine Domains Alliance, the conflict between Emperor Yan and the Lord of Everfreeze was no longer a secret and was becoming clear.
At this time, the voice of the Prison Clan envoy sounded in a low voice, with a bit of cold ridicule: "It seems that your Nine Regions Alliance is not a monolithic entity. In this case, the proposal of our three clans may be more meaningful."
The Rock Envoy of the Northern Frontier Alliance also sneered and said, "That's right! If the Nine Realms Alliance can't reach a consensus, how can we deal with the threat of the demon race? Why don't our three tribes discuss with everyone in the Nine Realms Alliance separately to see who is more sincere in cooperating."
The three envoys were all of level four strength, backed by a behemoth like a superpower. Although on the surface they communicated with the Nine Domain Alliance on an equal footing, they all subconsciously held a hint of contempt and disdain.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan's eyes became even angrier, and just as he was about to explode, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Haha, the envoys of the three tribes have come from afar, why are they trying to sow discord as soon as they enter the door? This is not very kind."
As the voice fell, two figures walked out from the void. They were the Lord of Dongshan and the Lord of Ziyun.
The Lord of Purple Cloud smiled as he swept his eyes over everyone in the hall, finally landing on the envoys of the three tribes. He said with a hint of ridicule, "Three of you, please do not worry about the internal affairs of the Nine Territory Alliance. As for the cooperation, we will naturally consider it carefully."
The Prison Clan envoy narrowed his scarlet eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the Purple Cloud Lord. His tone was filled with undisguised contempt: "Oh? This is the Purple Cloud Lord, right? Your strength is only the second level, but you can occupy a place in the Nine Domain Alliance. It's surprising."
Upon hearing this, the Purple Cloud Lord still had a gentle smile on his face, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He did not directly respond to the Prison Clan envoy, but turned to look at Emperor Yan and Lord Yongdong, and said lightly: "It seems that the envoys of the three clans do not have a deep enough understanding of our Nine Domain Alliance."
The Prison Clan envoy sneered, his voice hoarse and cold: "Understand? I'm afraid our three clans know more about the Nine Realms Alliance than you do. A second-level universe master is qualified to make decisions here? What a joke!"
The Rock Envoy of the Northern Frontier Alliance also sneered, with a mocking tone in his voice: "If the Nine Realms Alliance can even make decisions for the second-level universe master, then the strength of this alliance is probably no more than this."
Although the Crystal Clan envoy did not make any direct sarcastic remarks, the faint smile on his face clearly showed his disdain for the sudden appearance of the Purple Cloud Lord.
We, the top fourth- and third-tier masters, are discussing important matters between our forces. Why are you, a second-tier universe master, showing off? Don’t you see that the other second-tier universe masters in your alliance are just staying behind Emperor Yan and Lord Yongdong as background boards?
Upon seeing this, Emperor Yan frowned slightly and was about to speak, but the Lord of Eternal Freeze beat him to it.
The Lord of Everfreeze said coldly: "Messengers of the three tribes, please be careful with your words. Although the Lord of Purple Cloud is not as powerful as you, his contribution to the Nine Domain Alliance is unquestionable."
Speaking of which, although the Lord of Purple Cloud has not belonged to a camp, he is vaguely moving closer to him, and the Lord of Eternal Frost doesn't mind flattering him.
The Lord of Purple Cloud smiled slightly, his eyes swept over the envoys of the three tribes, and his tone was full of deep meaning: "Messengers of the three tribes, strength is important, but wisdom and foresight are equally indispensable. Although I am only a second-level universe master, I ask myself that the contribution I have made to the Nine Domain Alliance is not necessarily less than that of some self-proclaimed powerful universe masters."
He paused, then turned his gaze to the Lord of East Mountain, and said solemnly, "Moreover, in the Nine Regions Alliance, there are more real strong men than just the few on the surface. For example, the Lord of East Mountain, his strength has already broken through the fifth level, and he is only one step away from the top. In terms of combat power, I am afraid that no one present can match him."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace.
Emperor Yan's face instantly turned gloomy, and Lord Yongdong also frowned slightly, looking back and forth between Lord Ziyun and Lord Dongshan, as if judging the truthfulness of Lord Ziyun's words.
The faces of the three clan envoys suddenly changed when they heard this. The Prison Clan envoy's scarlet eyes flashed with fear, and his tone was full of strong doubt: "Fifth level? Lord of Dongshan, when did you break through?"
"If I remember correctly, you broke through to the Lord of the Universe only in the last few dozen epochs, right? Are you thinking I'm a three-year-old kid? You broke through to the fifth level in just a few dozen epochs?"
The Lord of Dongshan looked calm, his eyes as deep as the starry sky, and he said calmly: "What's the point of lying to you? The demon tribe can produce a Heavenly Wolf Overlord, so why can't we, a small tribe, produce an extraordinary genius?"
Although his tone was light, it carried an unquestionable majesty. And as his voice fell, a vast aura like the sea slowly released from him, instantly covering the entire palace. This aura contained endless pressure, as if it could suppress everything, causing everyone present to feel palpitations.
Emperor Yan felt this aura, his face became even gloomier, and a trace of shock and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. Although he boasted of being powerful, he felt a little powerless in the face of the pressure from the Lord of Dongshan.
He gritted his teeth in his heart: "How is this possible? He was just the Overlord of the Universe a few dozen epochs ago. How could he break through to the fifth level in such a short time? I just want to be the boss of a powerful faction. Why is it so difficult?!!!"
A complex look flashed across the Lord of Eternal Freeze's eyes, showing both surprise and thought.
"If the Lord of Dongshan really breaks through to the fifth level, the power structure of the Nine Domain Alliance will be reshuffled. The gap between the fifth level and the third level is too big, so we can only rely on him."
The expressions of the envoys from the three tribes also became solemn.
Level five, this aura alone cannot be faked.
This Lord of Dongshan is actually a fifth-order expert! And just as he said, he broke through to the fifth order in just a few dozen epochs, so it is possible that he will break through to the strongest in the future.
This made the three of them feel awe in their hearts.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that after all these meetings, the real boss who can take charge is here!" The rock envoy of the Northern Frontier Alliance greeted him in a straightforward manner, "Dongshan, I see that you are also a rock life. Isn't this a coincidence? My name is 'Enyan', from the Jiuling Mountain Clan."
Xu Yang smiled faintly, his eyes swept over En Yan, the rock envoy of the Northern Frontier Alliance, and his tone was full of deep meaning: "Jiulingshan Clan? I have heard of your name for a long time. However, although I am a rock life, I don't have much intersection with your Northern Frontier Alliance."
Hearing this, Enyan still had a generous smile on his face, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Dongshan, this is wrong. We are both rock creatures, so we should be closer. What's more, the demon tribe is now powerful, so we should join forces to deal with it."
Seeing how friendly the envoy of the Northern Frontier Alliance was towards Xu Yang, Emperor Yan's expression became even more gloomy, with a hint of unwillingness and anger flashing in his eyes.
This Nine Realms Alliance was clearly founded by me, how come it is out of my control now? ! ! ! (End of this chapter)
