Chapter 85: Save Me, Teacher, The Conditions of the Human Race

While Lu Qingshan was conversing with Zifeng Zunzhe, Hun Dun Chengzhu and Xu Jin Zhi Zhu also appeared within the Yan Secret Realm.

After witnessing Yan Di being trampled by Bing Feng Zhi Zhu for a period, they finally emerged to offer gentle persuasion.

Yet they did not expect that Yan Di, having been trampled by Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, harbored even greater resentment; despite the gentle persuasion from Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other, he still insisted on leading the Yan Shen Zu lineage to break away from the Human Race, shouting that he would give Bing Feng Zhi Zhu a severe lesson in the future.

"Xu Jin!"

Yan Di looked at Xu Jin Zhi Zhu, then spoke coldly: "You traitor, you actually intend to help the people of the Virtual Universe Company faction against me?"

"Yan Di, this is the order of the Great Founder of the Giant Axe!"

Seeing that Yan Di remained obstinate, Xu Jin Zhi Zhu could only frown and say: "Since you insist on leading the Yan Shen Zu to break away from our Human Race, then we have no choice but to take action to suppress you!"

"Just the three of you?"

Yan Di looked at Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other two, then spoke with extreme arrogance: "I admit, I am not yet your match, you three old things, but for you to think you can suppress me is absolutely a fool's dream!"

"Just wait; after I cultivate for a while longer, I will definitely make you old fellows pay the price!"

Hearing these words, Xu Jin Zhi Zhu's face also showed anger; immediately he looked at Hun Dun Chengzhu and said: "Hun Dun, act!"

"Senior brother, act!"

Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, standing nearby, also transmitted a voice saying: "Let this fellow Yan Di see how we deal with a powerful Universe Master!"

Hearing Bing Feng Zhi Zhu's transmitted voice, Xu Jin Zhi Zhu also sighed deeply in his heart.

The current Yan Di wields three supreme supreme treasures and indeed possesses the qualification to roam the universe, but this does not mean he will absolutely not encounter danger within the Primitive Universe.

Even the Eight Born Beast Gods of the past, who were stronger than Yan Di and backed by the Zushen Sect, the largest faction in the Primitive Universe, ultimately met their demise due to the siege of countless powerful beings, did they not?

Yan Di was able to act so recklessly on the Primitive Star before for three reasons: first, because his strength was formidable; second, because he had the Human Race, a peak race, behind him; and third, because he had not touched upon the core interests of other factions!

"Sigh!" Hun Dun Chengzhu let out a sigh.

Immediately, with a thought, the vast and mighty Thousand Treasure River domain instantly spread across a range of dozens of light-years surrounding them.

This Thousand Treasure River was a top-tier domain-type supreme treasure that Hun Dun Chengzhu obtained when the Primitive Star opened last time; at that time, he had expended great effort to gather all the thousand treasures within the Thousand Treasure River.

And after all components of the Thousand Treasure River were assembled, its power did not disappoint him; it absolutely ranks as a masterpiece among top-tier domain-type supreme treasures.

"Hun Dun Chengzhu!"

Yan Di's angry roar sounded: "Do you really think I fear you? Even if I stand still and let you hit me, what can you do to me?"

Hun Dun Chengzhu was indeed one of the most terrifying Universe Masters in the vast universe, yet Yan Di's life gene level had reached nearly ten thousand times, his divine body spanned tens of thousands of kilometers, and he was protected by the Jie Jia, a masterpiece among peak supreme treasure armors, so he had absolutely no need to fear Hun Dun Chengzhu.

"Yan Di!"

Bing Feng Zhi Zhu slashed out with his sword again: "Let us see how long you can remain arrogant!"

"Sigh!"

Xu Jin Zhi Zhu sighed, then also took action!

"In single combat, I fear none of you!"

Yan Di immediately roared: "But since you are joining forces, do not blame me for fleeing; however, in the future, the Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of your Human Race will suffer!"

Yan Di was not a fool; although he could rely on supreme treasures to withstand the siege of Hun Dun Chengzhu and the others, even Bing Feng Zhi Zhu alone was enough to suppress him, and with the addition of Hun Dun Chengzhu and Xu Jin Zhi Zhu, he would only be trampled.

He was not a masochist, so naturally he had to flee first.

In Yan Di's view, as long as he could escape smoothly, his strength would allow him to easily join factions hostile to the Human Race, such as the Meng Yao Zu, the Insect Race, or the Mechanical Race; at that time, he would have plenty of time and energy to continue fighting the Human Race.

Thinking of this, Yan Di swung his halberd, and the void spanning millions of kilometers around him instantly shattered completely; space was churned into basic particle streams, and immediately he rushed into the space interlayer.

Within the space interlayer, there were endless space fragments, so Yan Di's escape was naturally quite easy.

But unfortunately, the domain cast by the Thousand Treasure River also rushed into the space interlayer!

"Xu Jin, let us follow!"

Bing Feng Zhi Zhu and Xu Jin Zhi Zhu, one transforming into a silver-white sword light and the other into a golden blade light, also cut through the void and rushed into the space interlayer!

In the space interlayer, the deeper one goes, the more terrifying the power of the space torrent becomes; there are even places where even a Universe Zifeng Zunzhe would meet their demise.

However, whether it was the fleeing Yan Di or the three pursuers behind him—Hun Dun Chengzhu and the others—their strength was countless times greater than that of a Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, so naturally they had no fear of these space fragment torrents.

One could see pieces of space inner fragments collapsing and shattering directly under their collisions, with the occasional unlucky Immortal's Divine Kingdom mixed in among them.

Yan Di, bound by the Thousand Treasure River domain, was naturally slower than Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other three, so he was quickly caught up by the three.

"Do you really think I fear you?"

Yan Di turned and swung his halberd, then roared madly: "Come on, I want to see what you can actually do to me!"

"Poor fellow!"

Xu Jin Zhi Zhu silently shook his head and sighed in his heart: "This Yan Di probably does not yet know what he is about to face!"

Against a powerful Universe Master like Yan Di, the most effective method was naturally to suppress him through a siege until he fell into a disadvantage, and then use a suppression-type treasure to completely seal him!

In this way, even if Yan Di possessed the ability to create clones, he would definitely have to discard these precious supreme treasures on his body!

And without the protection of the three supreme treasures, Yan Di would be no different from an ordinary Universe Master, completely unworthy of fear!

The reason Yan Di had not been suppressed by those alien Universe Masters before was entirely because he had the powerful Human Race behind him.

After all, suppressing a powerful Universe Master was not something that could be accomplished in a short while; once Yan Di encountered such a crisis, other powerful beings of the Human Race could naturally arrive quickly to provide support!

"Bingshan!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through Xu Jin Zhi Zhu's mind, Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, not far away, let out a cold shout and directly threw out a palace that was crystal clear throughout.

As soon as this palace appeared, it rapidly expanded; in an instant, it grew to hundreds of millions of kilometers, with incredibly complex secret patterns carved upon it, while emitting an ancient, icy aura.

This was one of Bing Feng Zhi Zhu's most precious treasures, a peak suppression-type supreme treasure: the Bingshan Palace!

"Open!" Bing Feng Zhi Zhu shouted explosively again.

Whoosh!

The doors of the Bingshan Palace Boom—opened; inside, one saw only darkness, and immediately an incredibly powerful suction force acted upon Yan Di.

In fact, with Yan Di's strength, under normal circumstances he could completely resist the suction of the Bingshan Palace, but now, besieged by Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other three, he had already completely fallen into a disadvantage; trying to resist the suction of the Bingshan Palace was naturally quite difficult.

"Not good! They intend to suppress and seal me!"

Seeing Yan Di resisted with all his might, then, with a thought, the Jin Yu Silver Wings he had snatched from Zifeng Zunzhe quickly appeared behind him.

After leaving the Primordial Star, he had been studying the three forms of the Jin Yu Silver Wings and had mastered two of them very quickly.

When Master Bing Feng Zhi arrived, he was still studying, so he had not used them immediately.

Now it seemed that to break free from the suppression of Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other two, he could only rely on this supreme treasure for auxiliary flight he had just obtained.

Buzz!

The Jin Yu Silver Wings vibrated wildly behind Seeing Yan Di, while the ordinary supreme treasure of the domain type in his hand was also driven to the extreme; with the two working together, he finally barely broke through the constraints of the Thousand Treasures River.

Seeing this, Seeing Yan Di was overjoyed.

He knew that during the battle with Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other two, what he feared most was the Thousand Treasures River, this top-tier domain-type supreme treasure; now that he had broken its constraints, escaping would be much easier!

"Hahaha, this is the will of Heaven!" Seeing Yan Di laughed heartily.

Using treasures snatched from a Human Universe Zifeng Zunzhe to fight a Human Clan Universe Lord, how delightful!

Thinking this, Seeing Yan Di quickly continued to break through the endless space torrent, flying deeper, though his speed was much faster than before!

And just then...

In a remote territory within the Hun Mystery Secret Realm, a faint light suddenly lit up on a meteor fragment floating in the void.

Then a bald man with a slightly chubby build and a long beard suddenly appeared; the moment he manifested, he immediately sensed Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other four chasing through the endless space torrent.

This person was none other than Peng Gong Zhi Zhu, a fifth-tier Universe Lord of the Human Clan and the ruler of the Universe Star River Bank.

"Chaos!"

Peng Gong Zhi Zhu instantly broke through layers of space to converge with Hun Dun Chengzhu and the other two: "I haven't arrived too late, have I?"

"Peng Gong, you've arrived just in time!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu immediately transmitted a voice: "The supreme treasure Seeing Yan Di snatched from Zifeng seems very powerful; with the power of the Thousand Treasures River, it is already difficult to restrain him. Act quickly!"

"Good!"

Peng Gong Zhi Zhu nodded in agreement and instantly activated the peak domain-type supreme treasure on his person.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a fluctuation in space, centered on Peng Gong Zhi Zhu, an area with a radius of eighty light-years was instantly covered by thick, earth-yellow air currents.

Within this earth-yellow air current domain, even the domain of the Thousand Treasures River began to constantly retreat.

Of course, the reason the Thousand Treasures River domain retreated was twofold: first, its power was indeed slightly weaker than these earth-yellow air currents, and second, because Hun Dun Chengzhu actively chose to retreat.

On the other side, Seeing Yan Di, who was fleeing, found himself trapped in this earth-yellow air current domain, and his speed instantly weakened significantly again!

After all, breaking the constraints of the top-tier domain-type supreme treasure, the Thousand Treasures River, had already been quite difficult for him; now breaking the peak domain-type supreme treasure held by Peng Gong Zhi Zhu was naturally an impossible task.

Seeing this, Seeing Yan Di's complexion became extremely ugly.

"Seeing Yan Di, you cannot escape!" Lord Bingfeng struck out with his sword once more.

Boom!

Endless sword light instantly appeared around Seeing Yan Di, while the earth-yellow air currents filling the void offered no resistance whatsoever.

"You want to kill me? You, Lord Bingfeng, think you can kill me?"

Seeing Yan Di's voice was utterly mad, and he then swung his halberd out fiercely once more.

But even in a one-on-one fight, he had been completely suppressed by Master Bing Feng Zhi; let alone now, when Master Bing Feng Zhi had the assistance of Peng Gong Zhi Zhu's peak domain-type supreme treasure.

"Seeing Yan Di, give up resistance!"

Peng Gong Zhi Zhu also stepped forward and fiercely swung the black mysterious iron rod in his hand.

With Peng Gong Zhi Zhu possessing the strength of a fifth-tier Universe Lord making his move, Seeing Yan Di could no longer hold out and could only rely on his powerful divine body and tribulation armor to endure!

And in the void above Seeing Yan Di, the peak suppression-type supreme treasure, the Bingshan Palace, was continuously sucking.

In an instant, Seeing Yan Di fell back into his previous dangerous situation, only this time even the Jin Yu Silver Wings could not help him!

"Damn it!"

Divine power on Seeing Yan Di's body burned wildly, while he constantly pondered a way to escape in his mind: "The Bingshan Palace in the hands of that scum Lord Bingfeng is a peak suppression-type supreme treasure; even if I hide in the Northern Prison, I'm afraid I will still find it hard to resist the suction!"

Yes!

After breaking through to the Universe Lord realm, Seeing Yan Di had long ago inherited the identity of the Northern Prison Lord, an incredibly evil existence in the universe, from his teacher, Zuo Shanke.

And the Northern Prison Lord held a top-tier suppression-type supreme treasure, the Northern Prison!

Unfortunately, facing such a predicament now, even if Seeing Yan Di disregarded Zuo Shanke's instructions and summoned the Northern Prison, he still could not break free from the predicament!

"Hmph! Damn Human Clan, ganging up on the few!"

Feeling the attraction from within the Bingshan Palace becoming increasingly difficult to resist, Seeing Yan Di quickly flipped his hand to take out a green stone token.

This green stone token looked ordinary, but it was actually a supreme treasure used to transmit messages!

"Teacher, save me!"

While constantly burning divine power to resist the siege of Hun Dun Chengzhu and the others, as well as the suction of the Bingshan Palace, Seeing Yan Di quickly sent a sliver of consciousness into the green stone token to begin sending an urgent distress message.

In a void place within the vast universe.

Here stood a towering black mountain, and beside a pool inside the mountain, an old man whose entire body radiated a black light, with two crystal horns on his forehead, was carving a statue.

This old man was none other than Zuo Shanke, one of the most mysterious, most difficult to deal with, and most ancient lone supreme beings of the vast universe!

Suddenly, Zuo Shanke had a thought, and a voice immediately entered his mind; it was the distress message sent by Seeing Yan Di within the Human Territory.

Seeing the distress message sent by Seeing Yan Di, Zuo Shanke felt quite disappointed.

But a moment later...

Zuo Shanke still sighed, then with a thought, began to condense his avatar within the distant Human Territory using the methods of a supreme being of the universe.

In the spatial interlayer of the Yan Mystery Realm.

Hun Dun Chengzhu and others were continuously besieging Seeing Yan Di, seeking to suppress him.

But just then, a phantom figure suddenly appeared without a sound in the void not far from them; it was a projection condensed by Zuo Shanke.

"Zuo Shanke?"

The one who first discovered Zuo Shanke was undoubtedly Peng Gong Zhi Zhu, who had deployed a supreme treasure of the domain type.

"Hun Dun Chengzhu, Peng Gong Zhi Zhu!"

Zuo Shanke looked at Peng Gong Zhi Zhu and others besieging Seeing Yan Di, then spoke calmly: "Can you spare Seeing Yan Di this time, for my sake?"

Hun Dun Chengzhu and others were slightly stunned, then suddenly understood.

No wonder Seeing Yan Di, having just broken through to the Cosmic Lord realm, could wield three peak supreme treasures; it turned out the mastermind behind him was Zuo Shanke, this mysterious lone strongest one.

Soon, the Great Axe Founder of the Human Race also condensed his own projection here, then began communicating with Zuo Shanke.

A moment later, Virtual Universe.

Many Cosmic Lords of the Human Race gathered once again, except for Seeing Yan Di, who intended to lead the Yan God Race to break away from the Human Race.

"Everyone already understands the situation!"

The Great Axe Founder looked at both sides of the stone table, then spoke directly: "Everyone, speak up. How should this matter be handled?"

"Great Axe!"

Huang Jian Zhi Zhu of the Universe Mercenary Alliance said with considerable confusion: "What exactly is the relationship between Zuo Shanke and Seeing Yan Di? Why would he stand up for him?"

"I only just learned of this matter myself!"

The Great Axe Strongest One said: "According to Zuo Shanke, the Yan God Race lineage where Seeing Yan Di resides was guided and nurtured by him!"

"What?"

"This is too incredible!"

"Yes! To be able to guide and nurture the Yan God Race lineage, Zuo Shanke is truly unimaginable!"

After hearing the Great Axe Strongest One's words, many Cosmic Lords around him sighed in amazement.

It must be known that the status of the Yan God Race lineage within the Human Race is extremely special!

Among the many races in the Human Race, besides the Yan God Race, even the Man Ka Star People, who can reach the peak of Domain Lord upon adulthood, have life gene levels identical to ordinary life in the universe.

Only the Yan God Race lineage; the moment they are born, their life gene level is twice that of ordinary life in the universe, and it continues to rise as their strength increases.

Once Yan God Race members reach the Domain Lord level, their life gene level can transform into four times that of ordinary life in the universe; and after they cross into the World Lord level, their life gene level can even reach eight times that of ordinary life in the universe!

It must be known that a life gene level of eight times even surpasses the royal bloodlines of the Meng Yao Zu, falling only slightly short of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts!

Furthermore, the peerless geniuses within the Yan God Race can, even at the World Lord level, without relying on any external objects, transform their life gene level into sixteen times, or even thirty-two times, that of ordinary life in the universe!

But what truly made the name of the Yan God Race resonate across billions of races in the universe was the incident twenty trillion years ago, when Seeing Yan Di, at the Universe Zifeng Zunzhe stage, defied the laws of cosmic operation and raised his own life gene level to nearly ten thousand times!

And since then, countless alien races have risked danger to infiltrate the Human Race's territory and hunt down Yan God Race members, all to uncover the secret of how the Yan God Race's gene level can continuously grow.

But now, Zuo Shanke actually claims the Yan God Race was guided and nurtured by him; naturally, this leaves the Human Race's assembly of powerful ones greatly surprised.

"I heard my teacher say long ago that Zuo Shanke is the one among the many universe's strongest ones he can least fathom!"

The Dark Lord, sitting beside Hun Dun Chengzhu, sighed even more: "I never expected he could guide and nurture a race as miraculous and powerful as the Yan God Race!"

"Enough, let us discuss these matters later!"

The Great Axe Strongest One spoke again: "Everyone, let us discuss how to handle Seeing Yan Di's matter!"

"Is this matter truly irreparable?"

A gentle voice sounded: "If we can dissuade Seeing Yan Di from his idea of breaking away from the Human Race, would that not be good? Moreover, we could use this to draw closer to Zuo Shanke!"

"Impossible!"

"This is inappropriate!"

Two Cosmic Lords spoke simultaneously; they exchanged a glance, then Huang Jian Zhi Zhu spoke first: "Previously, Hun Dun and Xu Jin Zhi Zhu must have already pleaded with Seeing Yan Di in good terms, yet he not only did not appreciate it but insisted on leading the Yan God Race to break away from our Human Race! If we compromise now, would we not further fuel Seeing Yan Di's arrogance?"

"Exactly! Seeing Yan Di is by nature cold and selfish; even if we barely keep him this time, he will surely cause other troubles in the future!"

"What about Zuo Shanke?" a Cosmic Lord asked.

"Since Zuo Shanke has already intervened, we indeed cannot and should not suppress Seeing Yan Di anymore!"

Xu Jin Zhi Zhu pondered briefly, then said: "In my view, we can simply expel Seeing Yan Di from our Human Race!"

"What about the others of the Yan God Race lineage?" another Cosmic Lord said. "The Yan God Race was guided and nurtured by Zuo Shanke, and Seeing Yan Di is currently the leader of the Yan God Race; they probably will not allow the Yan God Race to remain in our Human Race!"

"Then expel both the Yan God Race and Seeing Yan Di together!"

Huang Jian Zhi Zhu immediately said: "Although the Yan God Race lineage possesses considerable talent in life gene levels, their comprehension is no different from other races; even if we expel them all, it will not cause too great an impact on our Human Race!"

"Moreover, I suspect Seeing Yan Di does not wish for any more peerless geniuses to emerge from the Yan God Race; otherwise, he would never have brought the Yan God Race to the Cosmic Secret Realm to breed and thrive!"

"Let Seeing Yan Di take the Yan God Race and break away from our Human Race together?"

Qingdong Zhi Zhu of the Universe's First Bank could not help but say: "This is too favorable for Seeing Yan Di! If this news spreads, our Human Race will surely be mocked by countless alien races!"

"What else can be done?"

Huang Jian Zhi Zhu said: "We cannot offend that old fellow Zuo Shanke over this matter, can we? If we truly offend Zuo Shanke, the Meng Yao Zu, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race will surely take advantage of the situation!"

"That is true!"

Qingdong Zhi Zhu nodded and said: "However, even if we allow Seeing Yan Di to lead the Yan God Race to break away from the Human Race, we must set clear conditions!"

"Exactly! At the very least, the information regarding Dark and Wang Chuan Zhi Zhu must absolutely not be leaked by Seeing Yan Di!"

Hearing this, many Cosmic Lords around nodded.

Besides Seeing Yan Di and the intelligent core of the Virtual Universe, the Human Race currently has sixteen Cosmic Lords; yet, apart from the Human Race's own Cosmic Lords, all powerful ones, including top Human Race cosmic overlords and many Cosmic Lords within the Hong Alliance, only know the information of fourteen Human Race Cosmic Lords.

As for the Dark Lord and Wang Chuan Zhi Zhu, their news of breaking through to the Cosmic Lord realm was not leaked; they were hidden by the Human Race and kept as a trump card!

If Seeing Yan Di breaks away from the Human Race and leaks this news, then this trump card of the Human Race will naturally be exposed.

"The supreme treasure that Seeing Yan Di seized from Zi Feng must also be returned in full!"

The icy voice of Bing Feng Zhi Zhu rang out: "And the gifts bestowed upon Seeing Yan Di by the human race after he broke through to become a Lord of the Universe must also be returned in full!"

Upon hearing Bing Feng Zhi Zhu's words, the many Lords of the Universe of the human race nodded again.

After a powerful being of the human race breaks through to the Lord Realm, the human race will proactively bestow a resource equal in value to a top-tier supreme treasure weapon to help the newly ascended Lord of the Universe rapidly increase their strength!

Since Seeing Yan Di is now going to leave the human race, he naturally has to return the resources bestowed by the race!

"I think we can also have Zuo Shanke compensate us with a peak supreme treasure!"

The Lord of Wilderness of the Universe Mercenary Alliance considered briefly before saying: "Anyway, that Zuo Shanke is skilled at refining treasures. Even many of the strongest beings in the Sea of Universes have sought him out to refine treasures. He must have quite a few treasures on him! And this time, because of his face, we are letting Seeing Yan Di lead the Yan God Clan in leaving our human race, which will surely affect the reputation of our human race. Demanding a peak supreme treasure as compensation from him is completely reasonable!"

"That is true!"

The Lord of East Azure nodded and said: "Zuo Shanke has always rarely clashed head-on with others. When fighting, he always uses some clever tricks. I estimate he will very likely produce a peak supreme treasure to settle this matter!"

"Then this matter shall be handled this way!"

The Axe Founder seated in the main position immediately said: "Does anyone else have anything to add?"

"No!"

"No!"

Hearing everyone's words, the Axe Founder immediately said: "Next, I will negotiate with Zuo Shanke according to the conditions everyone has proposed. Let's first see whether he can accept our conditions. However, everyone should also make other preparations!"

"We understand!" The many Lords of the Universe nodded one after another and said.
