Chapter 299: Movements of All Parties

After Lu Qingshan departed, the assembly of Meng Yao Zu experts did not leave but remained on the spot to discuss information concerning Lu Qingshan.

"I once heard Dark Night mention it at a banquet..."

One Meng Yao Zu expert could not help but say, "According to our Meng Yao Zu intelligence department, Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe performed extremely ordinarily before becoming Immortal. When he first became Immortal, he was not even a Marquis Sealed; only after a vast span of time did he cultivate to the peak of the King Sealed Realm, earning the reputation of King Sealed Invincible on the Foreign Battlefield!"

"I heard this matter too!"

Another Meng Yao Zu expert likewise spoke, "I recall Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe earned his reputation as King Sealed Invincible only after killing Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, who was then at the King Sealed Realm. Who would have thought that this time, after Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe became a Cosmic Venerable, she fell into the other's hands again!"

"However, when Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe earned his reputation as King Sealed Invincible, he had already cultivated for a very long time, so Dark Night, who was then in charge of the intelligence department, did not pay too much attention. Who would have thought that Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe immediately broke through to the Cosmic Venerable Realm!"

"I heard this matter too!"

Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe quickly nodded and said, "After Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe broke through to the Cosmic Venerable Realm, Dark Night was almost punished by Lord Tianlang for this matter. It was only because Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe intervened that Dark Night escaped this calamity!"

Just as the assembly of Meng Yao Zu experts were exchanging words...

A figure less than two meters tall suddenly appeared before them. This was a human figure; judging by its aura, it had crossed into the Cosmic Venerable layer. Yet these Meng Yao Zu experts made no move.

Because this human figure was a projection of Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, a Meng Yao Zu expert. They were familiar with Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe's divine power aura and naturally would not mistake it for an expert of the human race.

"Bai Hua!"

"Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe!"

Seeing Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe appear, the surrounding Meng Yao Zu experts all spoke up to greet her, yet their gazes were complex, some regretful, some pitiful...

"Just now Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe said all the supreme treasures on Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe were snatched away by Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"

"Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe has perished twice at the hands of Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe in succession; she must hate Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe to death!"

"Who would say otherwise! But given Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's strength, Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe will likely be unable to deal with the other in the future!"

"Don't even talk about dealing with Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe! Although Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe has projections, her human projection's body is so small; who knows how long it will take for her to re-conceive her true body in the future!"

Seeing Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe appear, some Meng Yao Zu experts could not help but begin communicating via voice transmission with those close to them.

Regarding the previous Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, they were undoubtedly very envious.

After all, Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe's talent and comprehension were slightly weaker than theirs, yet she had become a disciple of King Jin Zhi, and even after breaking through to become a Cosmic Venerable, she was bestowed a precious supreme treasure by King Jin Zhi.

But now they felt Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe was somewhat pitiful.

After all, this time the supreme treasures on Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe were stolen; even though she possessed the ability to create projections, it would still require an incredibly long time for her to restore her original strength in the future.

Just then...

"Senior Brother Long Ya!"

Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe's gaze quickly turned to Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe: "Now that peace has been restored here, have you already killed that damn Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe?"

To regain the lost treasures, Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe had previously rushed back to the Purple Snow Secret Realm via her Divine Kingdom's teleportation.

However, since she had no armor to protect her body at this moment, she naturally dared not approach the battlefield, so she could only wait until the combat fluctuations had completely vanished before rushing over.

"No!"

Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe's voice was quite calm: "Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe has already left by now!"

"How is that possible?"

After hearing Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe's words, Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe wore an expression of utter disbelief: "Senior Brother, could it be that even with your strength, you were unable to detain Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe?"

"Bai Hua!"

Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe quickly looked at Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, then spoke in a heavy voice: "Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's strength is even greater than you imagine, and his defense is even more shocking. I advise you to cultivate well in the future and stop thinking about seeking trouble with Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"

"Yes, Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe!"

Another Meng Yao Zu Cosmic Hegemon nearby likewise said, "Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's attacks are considered relatively ordinary among Cosmic Hegemons, but his defense is extremely terrifying!"

"Just now, we all joined forces to attack Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe, yet we could not inflict too much damage on the other. Even if a top-tier Cosmic Hegemon were to strike, it would likely be very difficult to do anything to the other in a short time!"

"Although we are unwilling to admit it, we must say that given Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's strength, plus his backing of the human race and the Hong Alliance, unless a Universe Master personally intervenes, even a top-tier Cosmic Hegemon may not be able to kill him!"

"How is that possible?"

After hearing the words of the many Meng Yao Zu experts, Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe's face quickly showed an expression of disbelief.

Next, the group chatted idly for a while, and also advised Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe twice more, before all teleporting away.

As for Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe, he did not care too much about Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, this convenient junior sister, and directly returned to the place where the Ice Crystal Flowers were being nurtured that he had previously guarded.

"Damn it!!!"

After the other Meng Yao Zu experts had all left, Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe stood in the endless void, roaring with extreme unwillingness.

"Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"

Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe clenched her fists tightly, and her originally beautiful facial expression completely twisted: "Just wait; I will definitely make you pay the price!"

"Since I cannot deal with you, I will tell every expert about your strength and expose all your secrets; let's see how you deal with others then!"

In this battle, Lu Qingshan directly killed two Cosmic Venerables and withdrew unscathed despite being besieged by nearly ten Meng Yao Zu experts; such a feat is extremely rare in the universe.

Especially since among the many experts besieging Lu Qingshan this time were non-Meng Yao Zu experts within the Meng Yao Zu Alliance, and with Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe's stirring of the waves, this matter began to spread continuously throughout the vast universe.

The first to learn of this news were naturally the assembly of experts within the Meng Yao Zu Alliance.

In the core territory of the Meng Yao Zu, within a vast Cosmic Secret Realm.

In the vast starry sky, a towering palace emitting terrifying pressure floated silently in the void.

Endless flames surrounded the palace; these flames had various colors, and each one was as large as a star. This was the Tianlang Hall of Tianlang Zhuzhu, one of the Meng Yao Zu's supreme experts.

At this moment, the outside of Tianlang Hall was utterly silent, but suddenly a black wolf figure appeared outside the palace; it was Black Wolf Zifeng Zunzhe, who had once been killed by Lu Qingshan.

"Leader!" The Black Wolf Zifeng Zunzhe, having manifested his form, quickly prostrated himself on the ground and then respectfully shouted.

On the Tianlang Hall ahead, a pair of statues resembling eyes suddenly blinked, and then a majestic voice soon emerged from within the palace: "Black Wolf, what business brings you to me? Speak!"

"Leader!"

Black Wolf Zifeng Zunzhe quickly said respectfully: "Just now, news came from within the clan that the human race's Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe has already attained the strength of a Cosmic Hegemon, and his defense is extremely shocking!"

"The Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe first slew Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe and Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe of the Shuangshou Yaodiao lineage within the Purple Snow Secret Realm, and then withdrew unscathed despite being besieged by nearly ten powerful figures including Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe and San Yang Zifeng Zunzhe!"

"Hmm?"

As soon as Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe finished speaking, a towering figure bathed in flames slowly emerged from within the Tianlang Hall; it was none other than one of the Meng Yao Zu's supreme existences, the Lord of Tianlang.

It must be known that ever since Lu Qingshan became a Universe Venerable, the Lord of Tianlang had already taken notice of him.

Back then, his assessment of Lu Qingshan was that even with his clones, it would be difficult for Lu Qingshan to pose any threat to the Meng Yao Zu.

However, after Lu Qingshan slew Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe of the Tianlang lineage, the Lord of Tianlang began to take Lu Qingshan more seriously, and started to feel that Lu Qingshan might one day possess power on the level of a Universe Dominator.

Yet he never expected that merely tens of millions of eras later, the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe would have grown to such a degree.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Tianlang, who had already emerged from the Tianlang Hall, directly looked down upon the prostrate Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe and asked, "Is there any video of Long Ya and the others besieging that Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe?"

"Yes!" Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe quickly responded.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a three-dimensional virtual projection instantly appeared in mid-air, displaying exactly the video of Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe and others besieging Lu Qingshan.

In the video, Lu Qingshan, clad in purple-gold battle armor, first effortlessly withstood Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe's attacks, and then withdrew unscathed amidst the siege of numerous Meng Yao Zu powerful figures.

The Lord of Tianlang watched silently, all the way to the end.

As a Universe Dominator sitting high above all, he could naturally discern many mysteries while watching this video.

Undoubtedly, the Lu Qingshan in the video had indeed already attained power on the level of a Universe Dominator, and his defense was particularly astonishing. "The secret technique level of this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe is still relatively low; it should be an Ultimate Secret Technique created solely from the complete fifth layer of the Beast God Dao!"

The Lord of Tianlang quickly said, "The reason he can unleash power on the level of a Universe Dominator is mainly due to that supreme treasure weapon in his hand, plus his life gene level and amplification secret technique are also quite excellent!"

"As for his powerful defensive capability, it appears to be a high-grade supreme treasure armor, very likely the treasure this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe obtained in the Zushen Sect's treasure vault!"

"With such means, ordinary powerful figures indeed find it very difficult to do anything to him!"

The Lord of Tianlang spoke again in a deep voice, "However, since this person dared to successively slay so many of our Meng Yao Zu's powerful figures, especially including powerful figures from my Tianlang lineage, he indeed deserves to be taught a lesson!"

"Moreover, that high-grade supreme treasure armor in the opponent's hand also counts as a rare treasure!"

"However, as a Universe Dominator, I am not suitable to act personally! How about this..."

The Lord of Tianlang directly looked at Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe and ordered, "Hei Lang, you go and inform Tian Hua of this matter, telling him to seize the opportunity in the future to slay that Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe once and take the protective armor on his body!"

"Once that high-grade supreme treasure armor is gone, that Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe will be quite ordinary among Universe Dominators!"

"Yes, Leader!" Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe quickly nodded and said.

"And one more thing!"

The Lord of Tianlang quickly spoke again, "Inform all Universe Venerables of my Tianlang lineage of this news, telling those among them whose strength is insufficient to seek reinforcements or retreat as soon as they encounter the Human Race's Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"

"Yes, Leader!" Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe nodded again and said.

"Very well, you may withdraw!" As soon as the Lord of Tianlang finished speaking, his figure instantly vanished before Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe.

And just as Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe reported Lu Qingshan's news to the Lord of Tianlang, the news of Lu Qingshan slaying Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe and another, and withdrawing unscathed from the siege of numerous Meng Yao Zu powerful figures, also began to spread continuously throughout the vast universe.

Although the Human Race did not receive the news immediately, due to the Virtual Universe, the speed of receiving the news was also very fast.

It must be known that a single Universe Dominator is enough to lead a race in occupying a rather decent territory within the universe to breed and thrive.

Just like the Jinjiao Race, the entire race is supported by Xiluo Duo, this Universe Dominator.

In the vast universe, the birth of Universe Venerables is still relatively common, especially on the endless battlefield of the Outer Regions, where powerful figures almost break through to the Venerable Realm every so often under the tempering of endless slaughter and life-or-death crises.

But reaching the Universe Dominator level is not so easy!

Even for a peak race like the Human Race, the number of Universe Dominators would not exceed three hundred.

The Meng Yao Zu might have a few more, but would not exceed four hundred; as for the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race, the number would be even smaller.

Precisely because of this, upon learning that Lu Qingshan had already attained power on the level of a Universe Dominator, slew Meng Yao Zu's Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe and Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe, and withdrew unscathed from the siege of numerous Meng Yao Zu powerful figures including Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe, the entire Human Race, and even the entire Hong Meng, fell into a great shock.

Among those in the Hong Meng who received the news fastest were naturally the numerous high-ranking officials of the Human Race.

Virtual Universe, the highest center of power in Hong Meng City, inside the Hong Meng Hall.

"Hahaha! I never expected our Human Race to produce another Universe Dominator so soon, and one with clones at that!"

"Bing Feng, you truly have the wisdom to recognize talent; casually taking in a disciple and seeing him grow to such a degree!"

"However, Bing Feng, you are truly biased! You have so many disciples, yet you merely casually bestowed supreme treasures upon them, but unexpectedly bestowed a high-grade supreme treasure armor upon this little fellow!"

"Yes! That Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe has clones; he can accumulate treasures slowly, so there was indeed no need to directly bestow such a precious life-saving supreme treasure!"

"Everyone!"

The Lord of Bingfeng raised his wine cup and said with a smile, "Back when my disciple broke through to the Venerable Realm, although I paid considerable attention to him, I only bestowed four supreme treasure points!"

"As for that high-grade supreme treasure armor, it was an opportunity he obtained from the Zushen Sect's treasure vault!"

"Hmm? I do recall this matter now!"

"That's right! This little fellow did indeed open a treasure vault in that Zushen Sect not long ago!"

"I never expected it to be a high-grade supreme treasure armor!"

A full five Hall Masters sat upon the towering Wang Zuo, exchanging words with one another.

Regarding the matter of Lu Qingshan possessing power on the level of a Universe Dominator, although they paid considerable attention, they did not regard it as too important.

After all, Lu Qingshan's current comprehension of the laws is still relatively low; the reason he can possess such strength is mainly because he has mastered precious treasures on his person.

In the territory of the Jinjiao Race, quite far from the Human Race's territory.

At this moment, Xiluo Duo, the leader of the Jinjiao Race, was inside the Holy City watching the race's powerful figures guide some Jinjiao Race geniuses.

Seeing the Jinjiao Race geniuses constantly improving under the guidance of the race's powerful figures, Xiluo Duo's face was full of joy.

As the leader of the Jinjiao Race, what he liked to see most was one after another of the race's juniors growing into powerful figures, and then contributing a portion of their own strength to the rise of the Jinjiao Race in the universe.

But just at this moment...

"Hmm?" A flash of surprise quickly crossed the face of Xiluo Duo, who had Lie Shen Bing strapped to his back.

"Did the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe actually slay the Meng Yao Zu's Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe and Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, and even escape unscathed from a group of Meng Yao Zu elites led by Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe?"

After opening the email sent by his Hong Meng friend, Xi Luoduo's face was filled with shock.

You know, let alone the combined forces of Lord Longya and a host of powerful demon cultivators, even Lord Longya alone would probably be enough to kill him!

Normally, when Herodotus encountered a top-tier cosmic overlord like Lord Longya, he would voluntarily step aside. But now, Lord Wanjie had not only refused to yield, he had actually escaped unscathed from a siege by Lord Longya and a group of powerful demon cultivators?

"Lord Wanjie's strength has already surpassed mine?"

While Herodotus was shocked, he was also somewhat excited: "I remember Lord Wanjie visited my Golden Horn tribe back when he was still an undying marquis, and Kremans even gave him some pointers back then!"

"Since my Golden Horn tribe has such a deep connection with Lord Wanjie, surely he will look after my Golden Horn tribe a little within the Hong Alliance Alliance in the future!"

You know, ever since the Golden Horn tribe's sage 'Baron' proposed warmly entertaining the powerful human tribe cultivators who came to the Golden Horn tribe, the Golden Horn tribe has formed good relationships with dozens of cosmic sovereigns from the human tribe as a result.

But among these cosmic sovereigns, the strongest was only a high-level cosmic sovereign, and now Lu Qingshan has become the strongest cosmic sovereign with good relations to the Golden Horn tribe.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan also possesses the enviable ability to create avatars.

A cosmic overlord with the ability to create avatars, if not a cultivator from a peak tribe like the human tribe, would certainly be recruited by various cosmic factions.

He would only need to casually join any one faction to gain considerable say.

And Lu Qingshan is a proper human tribe cultivator, with a teacher who is the Lord of Ice Peak. With such a background and strength, he will definitely wield tremendous authority within the Hong Alliance Alliance in the future.

When that time comes, Lu Qingshan would only need to look after their Golden Horn tribe a little, and it would already benefit them immensely.

Thinking of this, Herodotus quickly began ordering his tribesmen to prepare precious gifts, then summoned Kremans, who had the best relationship with Lu Qingshan among the Golden Horn tribe.

"Chief, you wanted to see me?" Kremans, who had been summoned by Herodotus, still didn't know what had happened.

"Kremans!"

Herodotus soon said with a smile: "Just now, a good friend of mine within the Hong Alliance Alliance sent me a message saying that Lord Wanjie of the human tribe has already reached the strength of a cosmic overlord. Later, you and I will head to the human tribe to congratulate Lord Wanjie!"

"This..."

Hearing Herodotus's words, Kremans was instantly dumbfounded.

You know, the scene of him giving pointers to Lu Qingshan, who was still at the marquis level, was still vivid in his memory!

But how long has it been since then?

Lu Qingshan breaking through to the cosmic sovereign realm was already beyond his imagination, and now he actually possessed strength comparable to the strongest leader of the Golden Horn tribe?

After a moment, Kremans finally came to his senses and quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, Chief!"
