Chapter 527: Chu Yang vs. Cosmic Sovereign! Heavenly Court Divine Kingdom!

Chu Yang originally thought that Blood Luo Crystal could not affect him and could only be used to catalyze a spiritual embryo.

But now it seems that is not the case!

This thing can actually merge with the Sacred Heart Demonic Refinement Technique and perfectly draw out the faint Beast God Will it contains.

The reason it was able to break through the spatial seal just now was the influence of the human will.

However, this is only a one‑time method; after use, the Beast God Will embedded in the demon pattern dissipates.

But for Chu Yang, this is not the crucial point, since the so‑called Beast God Will can only function in extreme situations like the present, or merely to intimidate.

The crucial question is what effect the Sacred Heart Demonic Refinement Technique has when perfected. It will double the amplification factor of Chu Yang's bodily vibrations! What does Blood Luo Crystal do for ordinary people? It raises the life gene tier! If the two are combined, what reaction occurs? Chu Yang can almost be certain that it will be an effect related to the life gene tier.

What an unexpected delight! Chu Yang suddenly feels grateful to the man in the golden robe; had the opponent not come to hunt him, he might not have discovered this for a while.

Why is he so severely affected by the Sea of Laws in his comprehension of laws? Because Chu Yang has already reached, and far surpassed, the limit of law mastery that an Immortal Divine can grasp.

But that limit is the Human Race's limit, not the limit of all races in the universe!

As the saying goes, the starting point of the Human Race's life gene tier is too low…

However, if Chu Yang's life gene tier rises dramatically, the influence of the Sea of Laws on him will gradually weaken.

If the Human Race's life gene tier starting point is likened to "one," and Chu Yang raises his own to "ten," then the so‑called Immortal Divine limit would naturally increase tenfold.

Thoughts flutter in his mind, yet Chu Yang's movements show no hesitation.

The instant he broke the spatial seal, he abruptly changed direction, surged upward, then elegantly arced around to confront the golden scissors head‑on.

The Heavenly Gate in his hand breathed blade light, its white radiance reaching a peak; Chu Yang lifted his hand and flung the Heavenly Gate! The ancient plain longsword, imbued with the ultimate temporal primordial law and Haotian's power, seemed to have crossed the river of time.

Above Chu Yang, 1,800 golden small swords whistled out, arranging around the Heavenly Gate; the scene resembled ten thousand swords converging into an immensely formidable sword formation.

That is a brand‑new sword formation Chu Yang created by merging the Slaughter Sword Gourd with the mysterious hand‑seal diagram, using the Heavenly Gate as the formation's eye! The ten thousand eighty‑six esoteric patterns of the hand‑seal diagram had already been fully comprehended by Chu Yang, and his flamboyant application is probably even more subtle than the one who originally inscribed the Void Chaos Tablet.

Chu Yang constantly feels that those ten thousand eighty‑six esoterics are not the limit of the temporal primordial law, but merely a threshold, a bottleneck.

If he can break through that bottleneck and create the first ten thousand eighty‑seven esoterics, he will step into a whole new realm! Then, even if the Slaughter Sword Gourd is merely a top‑grade treasure, in Chu Yang's hands it will wield power comparable to a supreme treasure! Moreover, as his grasp of the temporal primordial law deepens, the power of the Ephemeral Bloom will also increase.

The sword formation of golden small swords resembled a meteor shower streaking across the endless night sky, dazzlingly intoxicating.

The man in the golden robe narrowed his eyes slightly; from this moment he finally regarded Chu Yang as an equal and prepared to hold nothing back.

He should know that this time he brought three top‑grade treasures bestowed by his master; two have already been used, yet he still cannot deal with this rogue of the virtual universe corporation.

Among the three treasures, the golden scissors are the strongest offensively, an ultimate top‑grade offensive treasure.

This treasure is special; although it contains a greater amount of golden primordial law power, that power is not meant for direct attacks on enemies.

It is meant to cut space!

The golden primordial law power slices open cosmic space, then the spatial primordial law power draws out spatial fragments from the interstitial layers.

Finally, the two laws achieve a subtle balance, attaching the golden law's "sharpness" to the spatial fragments, forming a spatial storm.

Even for a mid‑rank Cosmic Sovereign, using it can cause severe injury to a high‑rank Cosmic Sovereign caught in the spatial storm! But the prerequisite is…

The spatial storm must hit the target and envelop it to maximize its power.

If the opponent also defends with ranged attacks, the potency will be greatly reduced.

In fact, according to the man in the golden robe's plan, using the golden scissors against Chu Yang is perfectly fitting.

After all, it is a top‑grade treasure, mostly wielded by high‑rank Cosmic Sovereigns; a mere Immortal Divine, no matter how rogue, could not possibly intercept or resist a spatial storm.

He never imagined that Chu Yang would possess such a means!

Even though it is a top‑grade treasure, under the boost of Chu Yang's self‑created sword formation its potency has risen to a level between top‑grade treasure and supreme treasure! Thus the golden scissors' advantage is completely nullified.

The Heart‑Protecting Mirror was, in the man in the golden robe's original plan, the key that would prevent Chu Yang from escaping, and it is also an extremely precious domain‑type top‑grade treasure.

The ultimate spatial seal belongs to the level of a Universe Overlord's spatial seal! Without also bearing a top‑grade spatial‑law treasure, even a mid‑rank Cosmic Sovereign would be tightly restrained.

But an accident occurred: the opponent effortlessly broke through the spatial seal, and the man in the golden robe didn't even know what happened.

Now, only the final treasure remains!

After the previous clash, the man in the golden robe realized that without relying on treasures, he could not deal with the opponent at all, perhaps not even be a match.

Is this a rogue‑level genius? He had only heard before of beings who, after reaching the limit of the Unrivaled King, could rival a primary Cosmic Sovereign.

Today he witnessed that an Unrivaled King could render a mid‑rank Cosmic Sovereign wielding three top‑grade treasures helpless! The sword formation collided with the golden scissors, generating a terrifying aftershock that swept across the entire star domain! Countless cosmic dust turned to powder, planet after planet were destroyed and exploded, as if a brilliant fireworks display blossomed across the boundless cosmic space.

The man in the golden robe's expression hardened; he had already anticipated that the golden scissors could not deal with Chu Yang, so he drew out the final top‑grade treasure.

It was a rectangular black case, about three meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter high.

The case itself was forged from F‑grade alloy, emitting a cold sheen.

The man in the golden robe brushed his palm across the case's surface, and with a "click," a slit opened in the center, then the case slowly swung open to the sides.

Inside lay three entirely jet‑black "needles," each about 2.5 meters long, the thickest with a diameter of roughly thirty centimeters.

Compared with ordinary treasures, even weapons of Immortal Divines, these needles appear somewhat diminutive.

Yet the terrifying aura they exude makes Chu Yang's complexion shift slightly.

The aura nearly reaches the limit of a Cosmic Sovereign, or rather, half‑steps into the realm of a Universe Overlord! Chu Yang can clearly see that the "needle rack" inside the case has six slots, three of which are now empty.

This indicates only two possibilities: either it was originally a set of six precious needles, now only three remain.

If so, even half‑missing and still this powerful, the full version is likely a supreme treasure! The other possibility is that these needles are one‑time treasures.

Like the Fire God Source Crystal, also a one‑time artifact with tremendous potency, its value is heavily discounted because it is single‑use.

If it is the second case, the needles' power is probably also extremely close to that of a supreme treasure.

Chu Yang knows clearly that a supreme treasure driven by a mid‑rank Cosmic Sovereign is far beyond what he can handle now.

He waved lightly, and the golden small swords flew back one by one, while the Heavenly Gate leapt again into his palm.

However, most of those golden small swords became somewhat battered, after all the enemy is a mid‑rank Cosmic Sovereign attacking with a top‑grade treasure.

Chu Yang can block them, but it is inevitably a strain.

Nevertheless, he does not mind the damage to the golden small swords; by providing some cosmic crystals—i. e., mixed‑origin units—the Slaughter Sword Gourd can quickly nurture and repair these swords.

Chu Yang's gaze swept the surroundings; the situation has progressed to this point, and if a unified Sovereign prepares to strike, they must already be near his side now.

When he gets close enough, even if the opponent bears a heavy treasure of the Hidden Unit's concealed aura, Chu Yang can still detect some clues.

But after scanning around, he found nothing.

It's unclear whether that nephew has confidence in this young senior uncle of his, or is certain to act at the crucial moment and rescue him successfully.

Regardless of which possibility, Chu Yang will not place all his hope in others.

Unlike other immortal deities, Chu Yang has only one life; once his Divine Body collapses, it cannot reconstitute! The Unifier Venerable naturally doesn't know this, but Chu Yang knows very well that his method of using the Unifier Venerable's protection as bait is extremely arrogant.

Anyone who can cultivate to the Cosmic Venerable realm isn't a fool; the Unifier Venerable can naturally see Chu Yang's obvious scheming.

Therefore, in the Unifier Venerable's view, acting so arrogantly despite insufficient personal strength will inevitably lead to a heavy loss on the extradimensional battlefield later.

So he didn't rush to act; instead he planned to wait until Chu Yang's Divine Body shatters, then rescue him at the critical moment, giving this overly youthful senior uncle a lesson.

But the problem is…

If Chu Yang's body shatters, that's total ruin! Chu Yang can guess the Unifier Venerable's thoughts, but in his view, the other side is mistaken in one respect…

Namely, although his scheme is extremely arrogant, it does not rely on anyone's protection!

Chu Yang has always liked to keep destiny in his own hands; however, if the Unifier Venerable is willing to intervene, he could avoid many troubles and keep some hidden cards.

It seems now that this nephew harbors some resentment toward him! With that in mind, Chu Yang stared at the gold‑robed man who had already raised his hand to draw a black Divine Needle, and his gaze suddenly turned fierce.

The gold‑robed man's eyes also flashed murderous intent; having further witnessed Chu Yang's demonic prowess and strength, it was clear that both he and his master had severely underestimated this young Human Race's talent.

He must not be allowed to grow! Perhaps today is the best chance to snuff him out! If missed, there will be no further opportunity in the primal universe.

With that thought, the gold‑robed man gritted his teeth, swung his hand forcefully, and a torrent of Divine Power surged out, pouring into the black Divine Needle.

The Divine Needle trembled with a hum, causing the entire star region's cosmic space to ripple, then it transformed into a streak of light that instantly arrived before Chu Yang!

At the same time, the white light of the Heavenly Gate in Chu Yang's hand surged, and in the blink of an eye turned into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, with Ziwei and Beidou rising from his shoulders.

In that moment, Chu Yang's eyes seemed to become the sun and moon; this was the first time, after he founded his immortal Divine Body on the basis of the primal martial method, that he drove the Divine Body's power to its utmost!

Immediately after, an immensely chaotic world floated behind him, appearing to be a projection of a world yet exuding the aura of a Divine Kingdom.

An unestablished Divine Kingdom!

Chu Yang's forehead veins pulsed as soul power surged wildly, building a bridge between the Divine Kingdom and the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, drawing the two into mutual fusion.

Just as the black Divine Needle was about to pierce Chu Yang's Divine Body, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall fully merged into the Divine Kingdom, and the previously chaotic Divine Kingdom suddenly revealed countless jade towers and crystal palaces.

Heavenly Court!

This is one of Chu Yang's four paths to become a true god: establishing a Divine Kingdom based on the law of fusion, then using the Divine Kingdom to contain the Heavenly Gate and the power of the Vast Heaven, thereby creating a Heavenly Court universe.

Yet at this moment, Chu Yang skipped all intermediate stages, forcing the Heavenly Gate—still lacking the full power of the Vast Heaven—to forcibly merge with the still chaotic Divine Kingdom.

Doing so naturally carries huge side effects; Chu Yang himself will bear an enormous strain, possibly suffering severe injury.

At least for a while to come, the wound will be hard to heal.

But the heavier the price paid in this mortal world, the greater the gain tends to be.

Although the Heavenly Court Divine Kingdom lasted only an instant, it already broke through the Cosmic Venerable's threshold, reaching the level of a Cosmic Overlord!

"Puff…"

The black Divine Needle didn't even stir a ripple before it was instantly erased by a sweep of endless celestial light.

Just before the Heavenly Court Divine Kingdom collapsed, a stray beam of celestial light fell upon the gold‑robed man.

The gold‑robed man's body shattered instantly, turning into countless dust particles; no matter how hard his will strained, he could not reconstitute!

The Heavenly Court Divine Kingdom completely collapsed, and Chu Yang's skin was riddled with cracks as if shattered porcelain, yet his expression remained calm.

Chu Yang slowly lifted his head, looked in one direction, and whispered, "Nephew, if you still don't act, this senior uncle of mine will have been busy for nothing!"

As he spoke, the Lü Hai Sword Gourd atop Chu Yang's head quivered, releasing eighty‑one thousand earth‑colored small swords that swiftly formed an Earth Sword Formation, enveloping the gold‑robed man's Divine Body particles within. (End of chapter)
