Chapter 137: Marquis of Azure Clouds

Zhou Yang's consciousness exited the Virtual Universe.

"I tried the method of fusing the Eight Laws, and it actually caused the Lord of Chaos City to personally intervene and persuade."

Inside the spaceship, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head.

A powerhouse with a status like the Lord of Chaos City, if Zhou Yang merely took a slight detour and wasted a few ten thousand years, it would probably be a trivial matter in his eyes and would never rouse his Law Carriage.

And now he personally steps forward to persuade; it can only be said that he is very pessimistic about the outcome, to the point that he felt the need to warn Zhou Yang in advance.

Zhou Yang understood that in the current Swallowing Universe, the cultivation paths from Planet Level to Universe Master Level have been explored extremely thoroughly by successive generations of powerhouses.

Among those generations of powerhouses, there are certainly some who have attempted to explore this Multi-Law Fusion Path.

But judging from the fact that no related cultivation texts survive today, those who tried must have given up early.

Only those with talent that tops the age—the true heavenly prodigies—have the confidence to try this road.

And there are only two reasons why they would abandon it after a brief attempt.

First, the road truly cannot be traversed, causing the peerless heavenly prodigies of Endless Eras to balk.

Second, after trying, those prodigies find that the cost and benefit of cultivating this path are disproportionate, making it unworthy of further pursuit.

Come to think of it, whether it's the Space-Time Dao or the Eight Beast God Dao, fusing any two laws can make one a Universe Master.

Then, by cultivating steadily and finding one's own 'path', one has a chance to ascend into the ranks of Universe Supreme.

Cultivation is no child's play; there is no chance to start over.

With such a broad avenue, proven by countless predecessors, before one's eyes, who would still risk a road that has never been traversed?

"The teacher's expectation of me is to become a Universe Venerable, a Universe Master, so his counsel has its own logic, but my goal is to place it beyond transcendence."

"Only, I cannot voice these, and even if I did, I fear no one would believe them."

Zhou Yang's gaze remained steadfast.

"Then prove it with action to the Lord of Chaos City, teacher!"

The Core Land of the Nine Fiend Continent is a super continent cluster formed by ten massive land fragments each over five light-years in diameter.

Compared with the 'Yanji Continent' that Luo Feng visited in the original work, the biggest feature of this Nine Fiend Continent is its size—astonishingly huge!

And such a vast land area naturally hides a terrifying number of strong beings.

Above Continent 05 of the Nine Fiend Continent, a black flying saucer is traveling at Sub-light Speed.

"The Core Land of this Nine Fiend Continent is teeming with strong ones; you can almost everywhere encounter Noble Prince-level Immortals!"

Babata couldn't help but exclaim.

In the more than a month they spent entering this main continent region, they discovered over six hundred squads, each led by an Immortal above Noble Prince-level, and some squads even had more than one Noble Prince-level.

His former master, the Lord of Yunmo Star Huyan Bo, only barely reached the strength of a Noble Prince-level Immortal.

That means that in just this one month, they have encountered at least six to seven hundred Immortals far stronger than Huyan Bo, which gave Babata, this intelligent being, a truly eye-opening experience.

Zhou Yang sat on the sofa in the spaceship's control room, most of his consciousness immersed in the deduction of the second stage of the Qiankun Secret Technique, leaving only a sliver of awareness to monitor his surroundings.

Listening to Babata's words, he couldn't help but smile.

"According to the data we surveyed, over ninety percent of Immortals with strength above Noble Prince-level on the Nine Fiend Continent are concentrated in the top ten numbered main continent zones; can the chance of meeting a strong one be any less?"

"Indeed."

Babata replied, "By the way, Zhou Yang, how shall we arrange the next step—go to the most central Continent 1, or, as before, first find a place to settle and adapt?"

"Obviously we go straight to Continent 1; after all, most of the Seal King Immortals on this Nine Fiend Continent gather on Continent 1, and only by confronting such powerhouses can my research on the second stage of the Secret Technique benefit."

Zhou Yang laughed, "But don't idle on the way, Babata—turn off the shielding function of the scanner, leaving only the basic detection function."

"Understood!"

Babata executed immediately.

"Zhou Yang, you're truly cunning; you're preparing to fish, aren't you?"

"Haha, let's see how many fish bite; my life-and-death trial still lacks a good amount of Military Merit."

Five hundred fifty million kilometers from Zhou Yang's ship, a gray-black disc-shaped vessel was traveling at Sub-light Speed.

Inside the control room, there was an Immortal of an alien race with a human body and a wolf head.

It was an Immortal from the Demon Race.

Immortal deities of the Demon Race generally possess gigantic divine bodies, and ordinary Universe spaceships cannot accommodate their massive forms.

Therefore, when boarding a ship, they exist as a strand of consciousness attached to a mechanical puppet, while their true form is hidden within the World Ring on the puppet's hand.

"Huh, a Human Race spaceship?"

When the gray-black ship entered the five hundred million kilometer boundary, the human-body wolf-head alien Immortal lightly opened its eyes.

"The opponent is flying toward my right front, and so far shows no sign of altering course, indicating its scanner is not as advanced as mine."

The human-body wolf-head alien Immortal, after a brief thought, decided, "Change course and go kill that Human Race Immortal!"

He is the 'Marquis Peak' known as Cangyun Hou from the Silver Feather Wolf Clan, one of the thirty-six royal families of the Demon Race; he himself is a Noble Prince-level Immortal at the peak, and with the Demon Race's innate gigantic divine bodies, unless the opponent is a Seal King Immortal, ordinary Human Race Immortals are not even worth his attention.

And every Seal King Immortal has a renowned title and appearance known to all; the one before us clearly is not among them!

The gray-black ship gradually approached.

A mocking smile appeared on the face of Cangyun Hou's mechanical puppet body.

"Hehe, you really know how to enjoy yourself, still leisurely drinking—if you knew you were being watched by the great Silver Feather Wolf Clan's Cangyun Hou, you'd probably be scared stiff!"

"I must say, ignorance truly is a bliss, so I'll let you die more pleasantly!"

The gray-black disc and a deep-blue ancient-sword-shaped vessel rapidly closed in, soon entering the hundred-thousand-kilometer boundary.

"Hoo!"

The gray-black disc vanished, and Cangyun Hou's true form appeared in the sky.

It was a silver giant wolf as majestic as a mountain.

The silver giant wolf stood about fourteen kilometers tall, its body length nearing a terrifying thirty kilometers.

On its back grew a pair of huge wings covered with silver scales; the wings spread like clouds hanging from the heavens, directly enveloping a vast stretch of sky.

A light sphere, constantly compressing Immortal Divine Power, streaked across tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant and slammed straight into the ancient sword‑shaped spacecraft that Zhou Yang was riding.

Boom!

The E9 Level pinnacle spacecraft was instantly blown apart, its alloy debris scattering in all directions; even the surrounding space was torn open, and countless space fragments trembled.

The space gradually stabilized and calmed.

Amid the explosion's afterglow, the silhouette of a human youth standing on a strange silver Star Plate began to emerge.

The youth grinned broadly:

"Ignorance truly is a kind of happiness, so I'll let you die a little more pleasantly!"

"Heh heh heh~~~"

Silver streams of light shot out from the Star Plate beneath his feet, and dense Law Threads continuously intertwined.

Gold Law, Wood, Water Law, Fire Law, Earth Law rotate, while Wind Element, Thunder Law, Light Law three aspects blend; the surrounding space of nearly ten thousand li was instantly shrouded by a massive black‑and‑white dual‑colored grinding disc.
