Chapter 40

The Chaos City Master then said a few more things to Zhou Yu, for example asking how Zhou Yu had reached the Invincible King level.

Regarding Zhou Yu accepting the Kong Light God General's inheritance and reaching 7000 layers, the Chaos City Master wasn't too surprised, only thinking that this inheritance was extremely compatible with Zhou Yu.

But when he learned that Zhou Yu had actually become a Black Warrior, he was truly shocked.

"You have comprehended the fire and space laws, yet you could become a Black Warrior— that's also remarkable." said the Chaos City Master.

"Since you can become a Black Warrior, go apply for some Beast God's Blood; it will further increase your power."

"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded.

Beast God's Blood is a treasure refined from Blood Luo Crystal; it takes a hundred Blood Luo Crystals to refine a single drop, and each drop of Beast God's Blood fused is equivalent to perfectly fusing a Blood Luo Crystal.

At this point Zhou Yu's strength was ten times the genetic level; on this basis, each drop of Beast God's Blood fused would double his strength.

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not ask about the Beast God's Blood, the Chaos City Master didn't elaborate further; after giving a few instructions, he let Zhou Yu leave.

"Master, I'll go first." Zhou Yu bowed and then withdrew.

Zhou Yu temporarily resided in Chaos City; first, following the Chaos City Master's instructions, he applied for Beast God's Blood, his free quota being fifty drops. After these fifty drops of Beast God's Blood were fused into his body, his basic strength quickly surged from 1,000,000 times the peak power of a World Lord to 6,000,000.

Not long after, a staff member of the Virtual Universe Company delivered a World Ring.

The World Ring contains a strand of the Chaos City Master's divine power, which only Zhou Yu can refine.

After refining the World Ring, Zhou Yu's first sight was of 1008 cone‑shaped treasures placed on a plain.

Each cone was over a hundred li high; standing on that plain, they looked like black spires, truly magnificent.

"Black Divine Cone Set." Zhou Yu found a textual explanation nearby.

This Black Divine Cone Set is undoubtedly a treasure of the Controller school; each Black Divine Cone can be called a great treasure.

1008 Black Divine Cones form a complete set, truly a supreme treasure!

"This treasure"

Zhou Yu swooped into the world inside the World Ring in a flash, he reached out and stroked a massive Black Divine Cone, his heart filled with astonishment.

Using this Black Divine Cone to kill enemies, who knows how high the efficiency would be.

Soon, Zhou Yu also found a metal box inside the ring's world; upon opening it, a rod‑shaped crystal about the length of a thumb appeared before his eyes.

The crystal emitted a gorgeous three‑color light, looking extremely beautiful.

"Is this the Time Myriad Thread Crystal?" Zhou Yu, following the manual, carefully fused that fragment of crystal into his divine body.

At that moment, a three‑colored mark appeared on Zhou Yu's brow, and his perception of the outside world changed completely.

Since becoming immortal, Zhou Yu's sense of laws other than space and fire has become very vague.

Becoming a Black Warrior had improved it a little, but not noticeably.

This time, fusing the Time Myriad Thread Crystal finally gave Zhou Yu a decent perception of the time law.

"Although not as good as when I was a World Lord, it's much better; with my three great talents, comprehending the time law won't be too difficult." Zhou Yu nodded inwardly.

After several days, Zhou Yu bade farewell to the two teachers in Chaos City and left the Primal Universe.

He directly traveled via the Primal Universe passage to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

Here, Zhou Yu met Venerable Mo Feng.

"Haha, Zhou Yu, I heard you have become a disciple of the Chaos City Master—that's wonderful news." Venerable Mo Feng is a thin old man; by now the Chaos City Master's acceptance of disciples had been made public in a small circle, so Venerable Mo Feng naturally had heard of it.

"I'm just lucky; the teacher took a liking to me." Zhou Yu said, then added: "And I have today thanks to your help, Venerable Mo Feng—it is indispensable."

Venerable Mo Feng counts as Zhou Yu's direct superior; moreover, regarding the previous great treasure, from what the Fire Dragon King told him, it seems Venerable Mo Feng also contributed greatly—Zhou Yu naturally keeps this in mind.

"That's because you have the ability." Venerable Mo Feng shook his head: "In my opinion, I should just give you a great treasure outright; never mind that for now—come, let me show you your treasure."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

He followed Venerable Mo Feng and soon entered a private treasury.

"You yourself already have Invincible King strength, so this time I've chosen a 'flight‑type' treasure for you." Venerable Mo Feng looked ahead; there lay a huge shuttle‑shaped treasure.

"A shuttle?" Zhou Yu instantly understood; this must be a great treasure to be stepped on.

The reason it is a flight‑type treasure, not an attack‑type, is likely related to its innate secret markings.

Any great treasure or supreme treasure possesses its own secret art; activating its innate secret art, or merging that secret art with one's own, is needed to unleash its maximum power.

Of course, using a great or supreme treasure can also be used to execute one's own secret art; it just depends on the choice.

"What do you think? If you're not satisfied, I can help you exchange it." Venerable Mo Feng looked at Zhou Yu.

"This one!"

Zhou Yu nodded.

For attack, he has the Black Divine Cone Set; a flight‑type great treasure makes up for his weakness in flight, rendering him more well‑rounded.

It must be said, Venerable Mo Feng's consideration is quite thorough; the previous battle against the three great demon clans' kings also revealed his weakness—his speed wasn't fast enough!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry about one of the three escaping; at the outset he feigned weakness.

Zhou Yu accepted the flight‑type great treasure "Cosmos Shuttle," thanked Venerable Mo Feng, and then left the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

He didn't rush to study the secret art on the stone tablet given by the Chaos City Master; instead, he headed again to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Now Zhou Yu's strength has greatly increased; naturally he wants to carry out a proper slaughter.

This time, Zhou Yu did not go to the Dark Continent again; last time he killed the Black Fiend King and two others, surely frightening the Dark Continent's kings—returning now would yield little gain.

Thus, Zhou Yu went straight to another core perilous zone of the 11th Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the "Heavenly Dragon Abyss."

There, Zhou Yu easily slew several peak kings and extreme kings with the Black Divine Cone, his killing efficiency far higher than before.

Afterward, Zhou Yu went to other perilous zones, even other battlefields, constantly seeking prey and constantly slaughtering.

And Zhou Yu's frenzied slaughter naturally quickly drew attention.

"Damnable human race, vile and shameless, having reached Invincible King status yet still slaughtering in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield."

He must pay the price.

「。」 -> This is just a period inside quotes? The line is a quotation containing only a period? Probably it's an empty quote with a period inside? The Chinese line: 「。」 That's a quotation mark, a period, then closing quotation mark. So translate as "."? Probably just ".". Keep as ".".

The strong ones from other camps could no longer sit still; many went to ask the invincible King-realm experts of our camp to settle accounts with Zhou Yu.

During this time, the most killed by Zhou Yu were the monster clan's Kings, so the quickest to react were also the monster clan's invincible Kings.

Soon, a long-famed 'Black Feather King' of the monster clan spoke up, challenging Zhou Yu to a duel; if Zhou Yu dared to hide and refuse the fight, the Black Feather King would stay in the outer battlefield for hundreds of millions of years, continually slaughtering the human clan's Kings until he had killed as many as Zhou Yu had killed of the monster clan's Kings.

This put Zhou Yu in a difficult position.

Of course, if Zhou Yu were shameless enough, he could also choose not to fight.

But after some consideration, Zhou Yu still went to the Hong Alliance and publicly announced his acceptance of the challenge.

"In a hundred years, on the Dark Continent, if the monster clan's Black Feather King has the guts, let him come."

Zhou Yu's words reached the ears of the monster clan's invincible King, the 'Black Feather King,' at extreme speed.

"Such an arrogant human; when the time comes, he'll have something to look forward to." The Black Feather King is a massive black bird over a hundred meters tall; upon hearing the news, he merely smirked.

He has accumulated hundreds of millions of years as an invincible King; how could someone who just reached this level compare?

"Black Feather King, I've heard that Zhou Yu only just broke through to Immortality less than two hundred years ago and already has such strength; give him another hundred years, will he still improve?" Some in the monster clan also advised the Black Feather King not to accept this demand.

But the Black Feather King didn't care.

Zhou Yu broke through to Immortality in less than two hundred years, but he isn't under two hundred years old; the other side has stayed at the Lord level for tens of thousands of years, accumulating deep foundations at that level, so breaking through to such strength is not surprising.

Having reached invincible King status, with all aspects at their peak, making any noticeable further progress is extremely difficult.

Moreover, the Black Feather King actually hopes Zhou Yu becomes stronger.

He has been stuck at a bottleneck for too long; this time leaving his seclusion, besides teaching Zhou Yu a lesson, it is also for his own sake.

Perhaps, a battle of equal strength could let him break through!

This challenge quickly spread across the outer battlefield at an astonishing speed; many strong ones felt moved and wanted to go watch.

Clashes between invincible Kings are exceedingly rare.

As for Zhou Yu himself? He is, of course, very calm.

A hundred years is enough for him to integrate the 'Black God Cone Set' and the 'Cosmos Shuttle' into his battle secret arts; by then, he will be supreme in every aspect at the King level, naturally unafraid of the Black Feather King.

"Moreover, this simulation might even give me a surprise," Zhou Yu smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

This time, in his slaughter on the outer battlefield, he killed Kings at the peak and limit, the quality being high enough.

Furthermore, having killed enough, he also gained an opportunity for a simulation.

Having the opportunity, Zhou Yu naturally would simulate.
