Chapter 70: Legacy of the Crimson Abyss Lord

Inside the divine kingdom of Zhou Yu's human clone.

When the vast primordial cosmic origin dissipated, the turbulent divine kingdom gradually regained calm.

"God body conversion is at ninety-nine percent." Zhou Yu sensed his god-body conversion state, feeling somewhat wistful.

Speaking of god-body conversion rate, the human clone far surpasses the Seven-Star Vine clone; the Seven-Star Vine clone ultimately converted only thirty-three percent of its god-body.

But how big is the Seven-Star Vine clone's god-body? How big is the human clone's? The total divine power absorbed by the two is not even on the same level; the difference is huge.

"Fortunately, the Universe Lord has already broken the cosmic rule limits; whether it's genetic level or god-body size, both can be improved." Zhou Yu nodded silently.

"No matter what, I am now also a Universe Lord!" A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face.

From Immortal to Universe Lord? That can be called a meteoric rise!

Whoosh!

Zhou Yu instantly left the divine kingdom, silently entering the Dark Continent of the 11th Extraterrestrial Battlefield, and at the same time arrived at that mysterious land.

At this moment, Feather Formation King had already noticed Zhou Yu's sudden disappearance, and she was somewhat puzzledly searching around.

Zhou Yu, however, paid her no heed; instead, he directly stepped from the spatial interlayer, instantly teleporting into an independent spacetime.

"As expected, entering as a Universe Lord poses no difficulty." Zhou Yu silently nodded.

This independent spacetime, as it now appears, was not set up to keep others out; for a Universe Lord, the gate here is completely unlocked, essentially wide open.

"This spacetime should be for dwelling?"

Zhou Yu easily took control of everything in this independent spacetime; it is not large, only about a billion kilometers across, with a tract of land at its center, upon which stands a silver-white temple, towering and vast.

With a single step, Zhou Yu entered that temple.

"This should be the dwelling of some Universe Lord, though he hasn't returned for a long time."

Zhou Yu probed inside the temple and soon reached a conclusion.

"Huh? What is this?"

Zhou Yu came to a side hall of the temple, and his gaze was instantly drawn there.

It was a set of armor floating in midair, entirely gray-black, its surface dotted with points of light, each point a special star, these stars continuously revolving upon the armor.

The armor naturally hovered there, also exuding an extremely strong aura, outright stronger than Zhou Yu's current god-body aura.

"A supreme treasure! Definitely a supreme treasure!"

Zhou Yu immediately made a judgment, and it is at least a high-level supreme treasure.

The aura of an ordinary supreme treasure could not possibly be stronger than his current god-body aura.

Swish!

Zhou Yu instantly arrived before the armor, and divine power surged into it.

Easily, Zhou Yu refined the set of armor, and a flood of information immediately appeared in his mind.

"Starflow God-Slaying Armor!"

Zhou Yu learned the armor's name; it possesses a powerful body-protection effect—once activated, the countless stars on its surface rotate, layering weakening of incoming force, up to a maximum of one ten-thousandth.

It also has a certain weakening effect against soul attacks, but at most only one percent.

"Just from its effect, one cannot tell what grade of supreme treasure it is; the key is its load limit." Zhou Yu understood.

High-level, top-tier, and even some peak supreme treasure armors all weaken force at most by one ten-thousandth; only some extreme-grade peak supreme treasure armors can weaken force by one hundred-thousandth.

Different tiers of armor differ in their limits; once exceeded, the weakening effect drops sharply.

"The chance it's a peak supreme treasure is slim; I hope it's a top-tier supreme treasure." Zhou Yu thought.

This temple should be the residence of some Universe Lord; he hasn't returned for a long time for unknown reasons, allowing Zhou Yu to snag a bargain.

If it were a peak supreme treasure armor, that Universe Lord would hardly not wear it himself, unless he had two sets of peak supreme treasure armor—but that possibility is minuscule.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the Starflow God-Slaying Armor instantly turned into a stream of light, which Zhou Yu donned.

"It can also regulate aura via the supreme treasure—excellent." Zhou Yu felt the armor, nodding with considerable satisfaction.

Zhou Yu continued searching the temple, and soon he gained another harvest in a side hall.

"These are..." Zhou Yu looked ahead, his heart also startled.

Within this side hall's not-large space, a total of 3,216 kinds of treasures floated densely.

Each kind of treasure was preserved by special means; Zhou Yu could sense the auras emitted by these treasures.

For each treasure, judging by aura, at least it is of the level of the mysterious lotus that his Seven-Star Vine clone consumed during simulation.

Moreover, many far surpass that level.

"That Universe Lord must have placed all his wealth here, right?" Zhou Yu understood.

Like supreme treasure weapons, which can be carried personally, only one set of armor is superfluous, so it was left in the lair; but the other treasures, though carrying them is of little use, he nevertheless left them all here.

And while Zhou Yu was thinking, a piece of spacetime suddenly twisted within this side hall.

The next moment, a phantom appeared there.

The phantom resembled a three-headed strange beast, with a bunch of huge wings behind it.

"Huh?" Zhou Yu looked at the phantom, his heart first startled, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is merely a video.

And at that moment, the strange beast finally spoke.

"Outsider, I don't know who you are, but I know that the countless treasures I obtained through repeated adventures will be taken by you." The strange beast said in a low voice:

"I am the Crimson Abyss Lord; born loving stimulation and adventure, I died in the cosmic sea, I have no regrets—I could have destroyed all my treasures before death, but I didn't; you have obtained these treasures, so you must thank me—I need no verbal thanks, you need only do one thing for me: I have a mortal enemy, the Twining Excess Lord of the Second Cycle Era; I don't expect you to kill him, but if you get a chance to disgust him, then these treasures of mine will not have been wasted!"

Having said that, the strange beast's phantom gradually dissipated.

"Ugh, this Crimson Abyss Lord is really interesting." Zhou Yu, watching this image, also fully understood.

This is the Crimson Abyss Lord's lair; his true body encountered danger in the cosmic sea, and at the last moment, a divine-power incarnation left behind in the primordial universe left this image.

Of course, the Scarlet Underworld Lord's demand had no binding force; he was simply leaving himself a lingering thought.

From this it can also be seen that he truly hated the 'Coiled Dragon Lord', and even on his deathbed he didn't forget to cause trouble for him.

'Scarlet Underworld Lord, rest easy and go; if I get the chance, I will fulfill your demand.' Zhou Yu thought silently to himself.

The precondition is having an opportunity, and Zhou Yu also needs the ability; he would never take the initiative to do this.
