Chapter 508: Cultivation, the Way of Leadership
The demon clan obtained three extremely powerful treasures.
Unlike Xu Yang's previous acquisition of a series of powerful treasures such as the Tianyun Spear and the Wanjie Demon Bell, part of the credit for these three powerful treasures should be attributed to Zhenjiao. After all, he was the first to arrive as reinforcement and joined forces with Mo Yan to obtain the transcendent inheritance.
Therefore, the first thing to consider is the shock angle.
It’s a pity that all three are powerful attack-type treasures, and Zhenjiao’s own Crushing Cone is also a powerful attack-type treasure, which is a bit of a conflict.
The demon clan, the land of the Heavenly Wolf clan.
Xu Yang's divine power incarnation, Zhen Jiao's true body, and Meng Cha's divine power incarnation all gathered together. Very few people knew about the transaction with the East Emperor Holy Land, and only they were qualified to obtain the most powerful treasure. The strongest people who defected, even the old beast god who merged his entire clan into the demon clan, could not.
"Three most powerful treasures, here are the detailed information." Xu Yang's incarnation waved his hand, and three shadows suddenly appeared in the air. Although he didn't recognize the master, it was not difficult to sense the conditions for recognition.
When Zhenjiao and Mengcha heard this, their eyes lit up immediately and they looked over quickly: "So many?"
"If a Shenjun Axe belongs to the strongest person in the universe, then it requires the ultimate will of the strongest person in the universe. If it belongs to the master of the universe, it also needs to cross the threshold of the will of the strongest person in the universe." Xu Yang smiled, "Compared to the more expensive Shenjun Axe, the other two pieces, 'Autumn Water Sword' and 'Ink Blade', are more ordinary. They only need the peak will of the master of the universe to recognize their master."
Because it was just an illusion, Zhen Jiao and Meng Cha certainly couldn't feel it personally, so Xu Yang told them directly.
"When we were fighting for the transcendent inheritance in Liuchong Mountain, Zhenjiao made great contributions and even almost died because of it. So I decided to let you choose a treasure first. What do you think?" Xu Yang said directly.
When Zhenjiao heard this, his scales trembled slightly. His golden pupils stared at the three treasures, and a low humming sound came from his throat.
The most powerful treasure, the strongest currency in the universe, no one would not want it, and no one would think it is too much!
Before Xu Yang said it, Zhen Jiao had some guesses, but when he actually heard it, his heart was still as excited as rippling in a lake.
“Tianlang…” Zhenjiao’s voice was a little tense, “Are you serious…letting me choose first?”
Xu Yang smiled slightly: "If it weren't for you, Zhen Jiao, who fought desperately for it in Liuchong Mountain, how could we have these three treasures today? This credit will be remembered by everyone in my demon clan."
"I don't think Mengcha will have any objection."
"Haha, of course, Zhenjiao, just feel free to accept it." Meng Cha advised with a chuckle.
"Okay... okay."
Zhen Jiao's pupils swept over the three phantoms one by one, and the golden light stayed on the black axe blade of Shen Jun Axe for a moment - the space law flowing on the axe was strong, and through the recognition conditions, it was known that it was the most precious of the three treasures. However, he already had the Shattering Domain Cone, and getting another powerful attack treasure would not help improve his combat power. Taking the most precious treasure would only make it gather dust...
You know, he is not only the strongest one, but also one of the leaders of the demon clan. Deep down, he must want the demon clan's strength to be improved as much as possible.
Therefore, he quickly made up his mind.
His fingertips traced the shadow of the ink blade in the air, and black light flowed along the scales. He looked up at Xu Yang, and the golden light in his pupils gradually settled into a calm amber: "I choose the ink blade."
Before the last word fell, Meng Cha's divine incarnation tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion: "The grade of the Mo Blade is half a level lower than that of the Shen Jun Axe."
She was obviously a little surprised by Zhenjiao's choice.
A hint of tenderness flashed across Zhenjiao's golden vertical pupils. He slowly retracted his fingertips, and the black light quietly dissipated between the gaps in the scales.
"Tian Lang, Meng Cha." His deep, rumbling voice was filled with a hint of laughter. "Have you forgotten my Domain-Breaking Cone?"
Xu Yang's incarnation slightly raised his eyebrows, with a hint of doubt in his wolf eyes: "Of course I remember. But Shen Jun Axe is more powerful, even if they are both offensive treasures——"
"I have studied the Shattering Domain Cone for countless years and it suits my heart, but the Shenjun Axe is completely new and unknown... Since I am not changing my weapon, then having another attack treasure is just icing on the cake for me." Zhenjiao laughed, and his thick tail gently slapped the ground, shaking up tiny light and shadows, "But if I give it to Changjiu..."
Meng Cha's divine incarnation suddenly chuckled, and ripples appeared on his translucent body: "I see. Chang Jiu has been stuck at the peak of the fifth level for a long time. If there is a powerful treasure to help..."
"That's right." Zhenjiao nodded, and the scales collided with each other, making a crisp sound. "Although the Mo Blade is not as precious as the Shenjun Axe, the destructive artistic conception on it is very consistent with Changjiu's 'Way of Annihilation'." He looked at Xu Yang and said, "Rather than giving me an extra treasure that I can't use, it's better to help my demon clan gain a new sixth-level combat power."
"Of course, I'm only giving it to him in my name, but the ownership of this treasure is still mine." Zhenjiao said with a smile, "You won't suspect that I'm trying to bribe the demon's heart, right?"
"Hahaha……"
"You worry too much, haha."
The hall was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while. Not to mention that the Lord of Changjiu was close to Zhenjiao. They were all leaders of the demon clan. Mengcha and Zhenjiao had been together for a long time, so naturally they would not take it seriously. And with Xu Yang's current strength and status, he was still slightly above Mengcha and Zhenjiao. Would he be afraid that he would bribe a fifth-level Lord of the Universe?
So, everyone just treated it as a joke.
As Zhen Jiao's choice was finalized, Xu Yang's wolf eyes swept over the remaining two most powerful treasures - Shen Jun Axe and Qiu Shui Sword.
"Since Zhenjiao chose the Mo Blade, these two items will be stored in the monster clan's treasury first." Xu Yang waved his claws, and the shadow disappeared. "If there is a suitable candidate in the future, we will distribute them."
Meng Cha's divine incarnation nodded gently, and his divine body slightly expanded: "Yes, even if we are from the same clan, we cannot break the rules. The strongest treasures are extremely precious, and only those with both strength and merit can exchange them."
Mengcha has a supreme armor, so it is impossible for her not to want a supreme weapon. However, she has made almost no contribution in the acquisition of these three supreme treasures, so she is naturally embarrassed to ask for it. The Lord of Changjiu is certainly not qualified, but Zhenjiao decided to give his treasure to him, which is reasonable.
"That's right." Xu Yang said calmly, "But Mengcha, as one of the leaders of our tribe, you can borrow this most powerful treasure if you need it." In name, the most powerful treasure still belongs to the tribe, but as Mengcha is the leader, Xu Yang will naturally give her privileges, such as the right to use it.
"Alright." Meng Cha didn't pretend to refuse, and a beautiful look flashed in her eyes, "Then thank you, Tianlang."
In fact, there would be no problem even if Xu Yang put both treasures into his own pocket, but Xu Yang did not do so.
The soft light in the hall circulated, and a hint of depth flashed in his wolf eyes. The reason why he collected the two most powerful treasures into the demon clan's treasury instead of taking them for himself was not out of generosity, but a decision made after careful consideration.
First, consolidate the foundation of the demon clan.
Although he is strong, the demon tribe does not belong to him alone. Zhenjiao and Mengcha are both leaders. If he monopolizes all the treasures, it will inevitably make other strong people feel resentful.
Great power belongs to oneself, and the strong can dominate everything, but there is no need to alienate and create discord among the strong people who should be close to and admire you because of something that is not important to you.
——The strongest treasure is precious, but the unity of the ethnic group is more precious.
Second, motivate the ethnic group to make progress.
If the most powerful treasure is only in their own hands, the universe masters in the tribe will have less motivation to fight. But if clear conditions for obtaining it are set - such as making great contributions, breaking through realms, etc.
It can inspire the enterprising spirit of the entire demon race. I think Zhenjiao is willing to give the ink blade to the Lord of Changjiu, and he may have such considerations.
As long as everyone has hope, the appearance and vitality of the entire ethnic group will definitely be renewed!
Third, arm some of the strong men under your command.
His current strength has surpassed Mengcha and Zhenjiao, and he is vying for the top of the universe sea! The help these powerful treasures bring to him is extremely limited. He has even obtained eternal true god mechanical treasures such as Chaos Golden Wings and Three Evils Blood River. Why would he be stingy with these true god-level weapons?
But it is different for strong people like Meng Cha and Lord Changjiu. A powerful treasure can greatly enhance their combat power, from fifth level to sixth level. Meng Cha may even be able to break through the seventh level boundary and possess the strength of eighth level.
The demon clan has swept across the entire universe, but their main fighting power actually lies with him, three divine bodies, four divine generals… Without him, the demon clan’s strength would be just that.
……
“Tianlang, you are quite generous.” Zhenjiao laughed loudly, his tone full of ridicule, “Mengcha, I think you should just give in, hahahaha…”
Zhen Jiao knew something about the relationship between Meng Cha and Xu Yang.
Xu Yang grinned, wagging his wolf tail: "Haha..."
He did not need to rely on possessing treasures to prove his strength, because his strength no longer needed external objects to support it. At the same time, he did not deny Zhenjiao's teasing, but accepted it calmly.
On the contrary, Meng Cha looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't make any excuses.
Seeing this, Zhenjiao laughed even more happily, and his deep laughter echoed throughout the hall. Mengcha's divine power incarnation actually turned slightly red.
A hint of smile flashed across Xu Yang's wolf eyes, and then he said seriously: "Okay, this matter is settled. I will give the ink blade to Changjiu on my way back. Mengcha, if you need it, you can come and use the treasure at any time."
Zhenjiao restrained his expression and said, "Tianlang, since the matter has been settled, I will trouble you. Changjiu is guarding outside the mechanical universe."
"I won't remind him in advance. We'll go together and give him a surprise when the time comes."
……
time flies.
In the endless chaotic airflow, a towering black palace was suspended in the void, surrounded by countless secret patterns of laws, forming a huge warning formation.
Inside the palace, a terrifying warrior wearing dark purple armor and carrying wings on his back was lying on the throne, his eyes closed, and a faint aura of destruction permeated his entire body.
He is none other than the Lord of Changjiu, the Lord of the fifth-order peak universe of the demon race, and is famous for his 'Way of Annihilation'.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his pupils.
"This aura...Lord Zhenjiao?"
Before he could stand up, the void outside the palace suddenly twisted and two terrifying auras descended.
"Changjiu!" The sound of Zhenjiao exploded like thunder, echoing in the entire airflow.
The Lord of Changjiu appeared outside the palace in an instant. Looking up, he saw the huge incarnation of Zhenjiao stretching across the starry sky, and beside him was a familiar and majestic figure—the Lord of Sirius!
"Lord Zhenjiao! Lord Tianlang!" Lord Changjiu hurriedly saluted, feeling confused and uncertain.
What brought these two big guys here? It seems like they came here specifically to see me.
Zhenjiao laughed loudly, and his scales vibrated. A pitch-black short blade slowly emerged, emitting a heart-pounding wave of destruction.
"Changjiu, go ahead!"
The ink blade turned into a black stream of light and instantly flew in front of the Lord of Changjiu.
The Lord of Changjiu subconsciously reached out to catch it, and in an instant, a vast will of destruction rushed over, as if to swallow him up!
"This is... the most powerful treasure?!" His pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at Zhen Jiao in disbelief.
Zhenjiao grinned and said, "Let's see if he can recognize the master."
The Lord of Changjiu held the ink blade in both hands, feeling the surging destructive power in it, and was a little dazed for a moment. This is the most powerful treasure! There are only a few rare treasures in the entire universe!
Now... it's in my hands so easily???
"What are you standing there for?" Zhenjiao's voice exploded like thunder. "What a nagging person!!"
Xu Yang stood beside him with a smile on his face, his wolf eyes flickering with a playful light: "Hahaha, Zhenjiao, you're too fierce."
The Lord of Changjiu was shocked, and streaks of light appeared on his dark purple armor. He took a deep breath, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes: "Thank you two adults for the gift of treasures!"
After saying this, he released his divine power without hesitation and started to acknowledge his master.
Instantly, the dark destructive force erupted like a tide, shaking the entire starry sky. The Ink Blade seemed to come alive, and the mist it emitted turned into a black dragon that coiled around the Lord of Changjiu.
"boom!"
The terrifying pressure swept all around, and the face of the Lord of Changjiu was distorted by pain, but his eyes became more determined. His divine body was shaking violently, but his feet seemed to be rooted in the void.
Zhenjiao nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, that's more like it."
Xu Yang secretly evaluated: "He can still keep his eyes open and awake. It seems that his willpower should have reached the threshold of the strongest in the universe. He is worthy of being the strongest genius of the demon race."
Sudden--
The Ink Blade burst out with a blinding black light, and the Lord of the Changjiu looked up to the sky and howled. The wings behind him fully spread out, and every feather turned into a sharp blade of destruction. When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned into pure black, as if containing endless destruction.
"Success!" The Lord of Changjiu could not hide his excitement and knelt on one knee, "Thank you both for your cultivation!"
A smile flashed across Xu Yang's wolf eyes, and his wolf tail swung gently: "You don't have to thank me, you have to thank Zhen Jiao. This most powerful treasure is his, and he took the initiative to give it to you."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhenjiao's golden pupils, and then he laughed out loud: "Tianlang, what you said is wrong. If you were not so powerful, how could you have obtained this treasure?" (End of this chapter)
