Chapter 300: Fame Spreads Across the Universe

Outside the gate of a simple, sprawling manor in a remote district within Chaos City.

The manor's gate, black as ink, appeared to have remained unopened for countless ages.

Yet suddenly, a figure clad in green battle armor appeared before the gate; it was Sovereign Beihai, who had just presided over a peak genius battle and led numerous geniuses into Chaos City for cultivation.

"Haha, it is rare to have a friend visit me!"

Immediately after Sovereign Beihai appeared at the manor entrance, a gentle laugh sounded from within.

Following this, the black gate opened automatically, and an old man with three eyes, dressed in hemp robes, stepped out.

"Elder Kandeli, long time no see!"

Sovereign Beihai smiled and said, "Since I was responsible for presiding over the peak genius battle this time, I thought I would drop by your place!"

Elder Kandeli quickly invited Sovereign Beihai into the manor's living room. After waving to serve him fine wine and delicacies, Elder Kandeli raised his cup with a smile and said, "Beihai, I heard you suffered some setbacks while exploring the Cosmic Secret Realm before?"

"That is correct!"

Sovereign Beihai drained the wine in his cup in one gulp, then spoke with considerable frustration: "Previously, Jin Dao and I were exploring the Purple Snow Secret Realm together. We finally encountered a Xiaoxiang Bamboo, only for the Meng Yao Zu's Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe and Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe to snatch it first. Then, relying on their massive divine bodies, those two Meng Yao Zu scum chased me relentlessly, causing me to expend a great deal of divine power. I have not fully recovered even now!"

"Beihai, you are still too young!"

After hearing Sovereign Beihai's words, Elder Kandeli quickly smiled and said, "Actually, encounters like yours are common among the Cosmic Venerables of our human race; there is truly no need for you to be angry!"

"Moreover, your luck this time was already quite good; the loss was merely some divine power! Among the Cosmic Venerables of our human race, many have perished while seeking treasures in the Cosmic Secret Realm!"

"Although they would certainly be resurrected by the reversal of space-time by the race's high leadership after perishing, they would also owe a massive debt because of it!"

"You must know that you have not yet cultivated for one hundred million epochs. In my opinion, it would be better for you to settle down and cultivate for a while longer, waiting until your strength is greater before venturing into the Cosmic Secret Realm again!"

If it were an ordinary person, Elder Kandeli would naturally not speak so deeply despite their shallow acquaintance.

However, the relationship between Sovereign Beihai and him was very good; when Sovereign Beihai first came to Chaos City to cultivate, Elder Kandeli had guided him once, so their relationship had always been excellent.

Precisely because of this, Elder Kandeli, whose cultivation years were incredibly long, offered such a warning to Sovereign Beihai.

He had seen far too many super geniuses in the past who, after breaking through to the Venerable Realm, remained full of confidence, only to perish while exploring the Cosmic Secret Realm and thereby owing the race a massive debt.

"I understand!" Sovereign Beihai nodded quickly.

Having broken through to the Venerable Realm after cultivating for only tens of millions of years back then, he was naturally very confident in his heart, even believing he could rapidly grow to the level of a Cosmic Hegemon, or even the Cosmic Lord.

Yet now, after more than eighty million epochs had passed, he finally understood how difficult it was to cultivate after becoming a Venerable.

"Beihai, when we Venerables explore the universe, the most taboo thing is..."

Just as Elder Kandeli wanted to continue warning Sovereign Beihai, the two of them simultaneously received an important message.

"It is actually a group message from the high leadership of the Hong Alliance?"

Seeing the message, Elder Kandeli quickly waved his hand to open a virtual screen in the void before them.

"Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe of our human race has crossed into the Cosmic Hegemon level, having successively slain the Meng Yao Zu's Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe and Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe in the Purple Snow Secret Realm, and escaped unscathed from the hands of nearly ten Meng Yao Zu Venerables led by Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe and San Yang Zifeng Zunzhe!"

"Let us all congratulate our human race on gaining another Cosmic Hegemon, and at the same time hope that everyone continues to work hard, eventually becoming super powerful beings who roam the universe and shield our human race from wind and rain!"

After seeing this news, Elder Kandeli could not help but be slightly stunned.

Regarding Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe Lu Qingshan, although he was not as familiar with him as with Sovereign Beihai, he knew him quite well; the two had even met a few times at banquets hosted by other Venerables in reality!

But how much time has passed since then?

You must know that after Lu Qingshan broke through to the Venerable Realm, no new Venerable had appeared in the human race until now; therefore, Lu Qingshan is currently the Venerable of the human race with the shortest cultivation time to breakthrough.

Yet how much time has passed, and Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe already possesses the strength of a Cosmic Hegemon? Moreover, he was able to escape unscathed under the siege of Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe and others?

In terms of strength, Elder Kandeli is actually a Cosmic Hegemon himself, yet he has no confidence in escaping unscathed from Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe's hands!

If Elder Kandeli's expression was merely a moment of stunned silence, then the expression of Sovereign Beihai beside him was even more shocked.

After all, he had just encountered the Meng Yao Zu's Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe and Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, so he knew very well how troublesome those two were!

Even in a one-on-one situation, encountering either one of them would be very troublesome for him.

These two Meng Yao Zu powerful beings, whose comprehensive strength was even slightly greater than his, have both perished at the hands of Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe?

Does this not mean that Lu Qingshan, who cultivated longer and broke through to the Venerable Realm slower than him, now possesses the strength to easily kill him?

And just at this moment...

"Beihai!"

Elder Kandeli spoke quickly from the side: "You just said that the ones troubling you before were Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe and Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, right?"

"Correct!"

Coming to his senses, Sovereign Beihai quickly said: "Previously, Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe even asked me about the whereabouts of Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe and the other, saying that if the opportunity arose, he would teach those two a lesson. I did not pay too much attention at the time, but I never expected..."

"Then Wan Jie has avenged you this time!"

Elder Kandeli quickly said: "Let us go to Wan Jie's place to offer congratulations; I imagine many powerful beings of our human race will rush there!"

"This..."

Sovereign Beihai was slightly stunned, then quickly nodded and said: "Let us go together, let us go together!"

When Lu Qingshan originally slew the Meng Yao Zu's Hei Lang Zifeng Zunzhe, Sovereign Beihai still had the thought of competing with Lu Qingshan in his heart!

But now...

After more than eighty million epochs passed, Sovereign Beihai had long realized how difficult cultivation is for a Venerable.

Although he possesses treasures bestowed by his master, You Hou Zhi Zhu, and his strength is somewhat greater than other Venerables of the same level, reaching the Cosmic Hegemon level is still as difficult as climbing to the sky for him!

Precisely because of this, the thought in Sovereign Beihai's heart of competing with Lu Qingshan has completely vanished.

This is the same as the geniuses in the genius battle!

If a genius is merely slightly stronger, other geniuses naturally feel unwilling to admit defeat and refuse to yield;

but if it is a super genius appearing once every ten thousand epochs, or even once every ten million epochs, then other geniuses can only look on in awe, having absolutely no thought of comparing themselves to him!

In a luxurious manor on the continent of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, a key location of the human race.

At this moment, two figures emitting terrifying auras were drinking and conversing in the manor's living room.

One of them stood about two meters tall, wearing a dark blue long robe inscribed with countless secret patterns; behind him, he carried an extraordinary green long sword on his back.

The other was over eight meters tall, with a burly build, clad in blood-red battle armor, and possessed eight arms!

These two were precisely the Tianfeng Venerable and the Tiequan Venerable, who had once roamed the Ancient God Secret Realm alongside Lu Qingshan, only to perish in the hands of the Meng Yao Zu's Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe.

It had been over eighty million eras since the three of them fell to Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe; naturally, the Tianfeng Venerable and the Tiequan Venerable had both been resurrected by the human race's high command through time reversal.

"Tiequan, I heard you just received the mission to guard the Lost Star Domain?"

The Tianfeng Venerable raised his wine cup and congratulated him: "Congratulations!"

"Actually, it was mostly thanks to Tushen's help!"

The Tiequan Venerable said helplessly: "Back then, the two of us and the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe perished in the hands of that Meng Yao Zu's Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, and naturally, the Tushen Hall Tushen lent me was lost as well!"

"Fortunately, after being resurrected by the race's high command through time reversal this time, Tushen did not rush me to return the Tushen Hall; instead, he helped me find a position within the company to gradually repay the debt!"

"Just recently, Feixing, who was guarding the Lost Star Domain, planned to venture into the universe, so with Tushen's help, I obtained this mission!"

"That is already very good!"

The Tianfeng Venerable quickly nodded and said: "With this mission, as long as you serve for a while, there will surely be a chance to repay the debt!"

"Sigh! It is really too difficult for me to repay the debt!"

The Tiequan Venerable couldn't help but sigh: "This time, all the treasures on my person were lost, not to mention the Tushen Hall Tushen lent me, plus the cost of this resurrection; I now owe a debt of 2.3 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points, which is estimated to be more than Qian Wu and the others!" "If I had known this, I shouldn't have borrowed the Tushen Hall from Tushen; even if I had perished in the hands of that Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, I would have owed less debt!"

"Actually, encountering that Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe was just our bad luck!"

The Tianfeng Venerable raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp, then sighed: "Who could have thought that the originally ordinary Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe could produce both a Domain-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao and a Flying Palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao?"

"If that Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe had no Palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, relying on the Tushen Hall, we would definitely have been able to hold out until reinforcements arrived!"

"Sigh! Let's not talk about me for now!"

The Tiequan Venerable shook his head, then continued asking: "Tianfeng, how have you been recently?"

"My situation is just average!"

The Tianfeng Venerable immediately said: "Fortunately, the race treats us fallen Cosmic Venerables well; even though we owe debt due to resurrection, they do not immediately deduct all the Heavy Treasure Points in our hands!"

"After this resurrection, I used the remaining Heavy Treasure Points to exchange for a top-tier Heavy Treasure armor and a ordinary mental-weapon Heavy Treasure; although my strength is a bit weaker than before, it will suffice for a while!"

"The race indeed treats us Cosmic Venerables very well!"

The Tiequan Venerable quickly nodded and said: "Even though we owe huge debts, they do not urge us, leaving us with the most basic dignity!"

"However, I still envy Wan Jie; he possesses a clone, so even if he perished in the hands of that Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, it would only mean the loss of some treasures, and there would be no need for the race's high command to reverse time to resurrect him!"

"That is true!"

The Tianfeng Venerable quickly said: "I once heard a friend mention that during our demise, Wan Jie went to the Zushen Sect, and even opened a precious treasure vault in the Zushen Sect's treasure storage; I heard that even the worst of those treasures could rival a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao!"

"I heard about this too; Wan Jie's luck is indeed good!"

The Tiequan Venerable quickly nodded and said: "However, since Wan Jie possesses a clone, accumulating wealth is naturally much simpler for him than for us!"

Just as the Tianfeng Venerable and the Tiequan Venerable were conversing, they suddenly received a mass email from the Hong Alliance high command.

The Tianfeng Venerable curiously opened the email and saw news that Lu Qingshan had killed the Long Diao Zifeng Zunzhe and the Bai Hua Zifeng Zunzhe, while also escaping unharmed from the hands of the Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe and others.

"This..."

After reading the news, the Tianfeng Venerable's face was full of disbelief: "How little time has passed? Does Wan Jie actually possess such terrifying strength now?"

"Yes!"

At this moment, after reading the email, the Tiequan Venerable also looked shocked: "The strength of that Long Ya Zifeng Zunzhe was in no way inferior to that Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, differing at most only in protective treasures; I never expected Wan Jie to now be able to escape unharmed from the hands of a powerhouse of such a level!"

Hearing the Tiequan Venerable's words, the Tianfeng Venerable couldn't help but sigh: "If Wan Jie had possessed such strength back then, wouldn't we not have perished?"

"Tianfeng, you are overthinking it!"

The Tiequan Venerable quickly said: "If Wan Jie had possessed such strength back then, he would not have roamed the Cosmic Secret Realm with the two of us!"

"That is true!"

The Tianfeng Venerable nodded slightly, then continued: "Tiequan, this time Wan Jie became famous in one battle; I plan to go over to congratulate him; do you want to come along?"

Hearing this, the Tiequan Venerable hurriedly nodded and said: "Let's go together, let's go together!"

In the control room of Base Camp 001 in the Eleventh Battlefield of the Outer Regions.

At this moment, two figures were conversing in the control room; they were the Venerable Yao Guang and the Liufeng Venerable.

"Liufeng!"

Zifeng Zifeng Zunzhe Yao Guang looked at the Liufeng Venerable and quickly asked: "This time, when the Hei Fengwang of the Qiu Jia Hou race broke through, was the loss on our human camp side significant?"

"The loss for our human race this time was relatively small!"

The Liufeng Venerable quickly replied: "The 'Chuanshan Venerable' of the Qiu Jia Hou race broke through temporarily under the attack of a young one from the Mechanical Race who was close to being an Invincible Hei Fengwang, so after his breakthrough, the first ones he naturally had to deal with were the powerhouses of the Mechanical Race camp!"

"Moreover, I arrived there relatively quickly; that Chuanshan Venerable had no time to strike against the Hei Fengwang Immortals of our human race before I, together with several Cosmic Venerables from other camps, drove him out of the Outer Regions Battlefield!"

"It is just a pity that the Heavy Treasure that just emerged also fell into the hands of that Chuanshan Venerable!"

"That doesn't matter!"

Zifeng Zifeng Zunzhe Yao Guang said with a smile: "It is just an ordinary Heavy Treasure; it means nothing to our human race!"

"The Qiu Jia Hou race, where that Chuanshan Venerable belongs, is a powerful race; after killing a genius of the Mechanical Race this time, they have effectively clashed with the Mechanical Race; I hope he will bring some trouble to the Mechanical Race in the future!"

"For our human race, dogs biting dogs is indeed a good thing!"

The Liufeng Venerable nodded, then said regretfully: "It is a pity that the one who broke through this time was not from our human race, nor a member of the Hong Alliance!"

"Since we opened this Eleventh Battlefield of the Outer Regions, sixteen Hei Fengwang Immortals have broken through to the Venerable Realm here; among them, five belong to our human camp, yet only one of these is a Hong Alliance member, and that one is not even a powerhouse of our human race!"

"There is no way!"

Zifeng Zifeng Zunzhe Yao Guang quickly spoke: "This Outer Regions Battlefield gathers powerhouses from billions of races in the universe; among the many powerhouses of our human camp, Hong Alliance members do not even make up one-tenth, let alone powerhouses of our human race!"

"Having one Hong Alliance member among these sixteen breakthrough powerhouses is already considered very good!"

"If a powerhouse of our human race could break through as well, that would be wonderful!"

Lord Liu Feng could not help but sigh, "Since Lord Wan Jie broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, eight hundred million eras have already passed, yet our human race has not yet produced a single new Cosmic Venerable!"

"That is very normal!"

Venerable Yao Guang said calmly, "How much time has actually passed? Have the Meng Yao Zu, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race produced many Cosmic Venerables either?"

"And before Junior Brother Lu Qingshan, our human race produced several Cosmic Venerables in succession, including powerful figures like the Sky Eater Palace Master and Lord Jiu Feng!"

"That is true!"

Hearing Venerable Yao Guang's words, Lord Liu Feng quickly nodded in agreement.

But just at that moment, the two of them simultaneously received a mass message from the Hong Alliance high command.

Seeing this, Venerable Yao Guang quickly opened the message, which displayed news that Lu Qingshan had slain Lord Long Diao and Lord Bai Hua, while also escaping unscathed from the hands of Lord Long Ya and others.

"This..."

Having finished reading the message, Venerable Yao Guang was momentarily stunned: "Junior Brother Lu Qingshan..."

"Lord Wan Jie's strength has improved far too quickly!"

Lord Liu Feng, standing nearby, was even more shocked: "Lord Long Ya's strength is terrifying; I recall that when the Primordial Star opened last time, he slew Lord Zhong Zhan of the Insect Race camp. Who would have thought that even with other Meng Yao Zu experts joining forces, they could not harm Lord Wan Jie!"

"Indeed!"

Venerable Yao Guang, now back to his senses, still found it hard to believe.

After all, Lord Long Ya's strength was even greater than his own, yet now Lu Qingshan was able to escape unscathed from his grasp.

"I never expected Junior Brother Lu Qingshan's growth speed to be this fast!"

Venerable Yao Guang quickly said, "Liu Feng, I intend to go to Junior Brother Lu Qingshan's location to offer my congratulations. Do you wish to come with me?"

"Of course!" Lord Liu Feng quickly nodded and said.
