Chapter 176: Exit the Seal, the Chaos City Lord's Shock

Virtual Universe Company headquarters, within a palace shrouded by the vast Qianbao River, Zhou Yang in black‑gold battle armor appeared silently.

"I didn't expect that after a stint in the New Universe, five hundred years have already passed."

He gave a faint smile, then rose tall and stepped straight out of his palace.

Walking among the palace clusters within the Qianbao River realm, Zhou Yang flickered a few times and arrived before the Main Hall where the Chaos City Lord resides; in front of this Main Hall stood several Immortal Attendants and even Universe Venerables.

However, the moment Zhou Yang appeared, these people felt a massive shock in their hearts!

"Zhou Yang has emerged from the seal."

"What a mighty Divine Might!"

"This Divine Might is stronger than all of us!"

In the distance, two Universe Venerables were startled, and the Immortal Attendants trembled even more.

On Zhou Yang, they sensed an endless, vast, powerful pressure.

That aura was stronger than any Universe Venerable they had seen, causing them to feel both awe and unease.

"This Zhou Yang, having just broken through Immortal and already has such momentum—remarkable, truly remarkable."

The two Universe Venerables exclaimed inwardly, "There must be a fate‑defying opportunity on Zhou Yang."

They did not realize that this Divine Might was merely Zhou Yang's aura leaking naturally; if he truly unleashed it, even Immortal Gods might not even be able to stand.

Zhou Yang stood waiting outside the hall; although the hall doors were open, inside seemed an endless Chaos, impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Come in."

A voice came from the Main Hall.

Zhou Yang immediately entered, quickly walked to the deep part of the great hall, and looked up to see the Chaos City Lord in the distance.

"Master."

Zhou Yang respectfully performed a bow.

The Chaos City Lord gazed at Zhou Yang, scrutinizing him for a long time.

At this moment, in his perception, Zhou Yang's figure seemed both real and illusory, as if he did not exist in this spacetime; even he felt an ungraspable sensation.

This inevitably made him silently marvel.

One must know that this place lies within the Qianbao River's shrouded range and under the coverage of a Top-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure; that someone could cause the Chaos City Lord to feel an ungraspable sensation is simply inconceivable! "Enough, the Master instructed that no investigation is needed."

The Chaos City Lord suppressed his lingering doubts.

"Returning safely is all that matters; have you finally completed the breakthrough?"

The Chaos City Lord finally asked.

"Yes, I caused the Master to worry."

Zhou Yang replied respectfully, while his heart was also uneasy.

He understood that the entire Virtual Universe Company headquarters was shrouded by the Chaos City Lord's Qianbao River domain, and his silent disappearance for five hundred years could not escape his notice.

If the Master asked, how should he explain? The Stellar Transformations technique involves huge causality, and the New Universe is his greatest trump card and opportunity now; before he has enough strength, he truly does not wish to reveal it. Yet, to his surprise, the Chaos City Lord seemed not to probe further.

"Very good, you performed even better than I imagined."

The Chaos City Lord nodded in satisfaction; he was extremely pleased, happy, delighted—having cultivated so many disciples, the Chaos City Lord existed to add several pillar-like strong figures to the Human Race.

And Zhou Yang not only met his expectations but far exceeded them, naturally pleasing him.

"I know your fate is defying the heavens; you must carry a tremendous opportunity."

He seemed to see Zhou Yang's embarrassment, smiled faintly, "However, among us Human Race strong ones, which one doesn't have a fate‑defying opportunity? Should the clan study every person's opportunity to the end? Then who would still devote themselves to the clan? So, you only need to remember that you are a member of my Human Race; nothing else needs pondering."

Hearing the Chaos City Lord's words, Zhou Yang finally let go of his doubts.

He bowed respectfully toward the Chaos City Lord:

"Thank you, Master, for understanding."

"Mm."

The Chaos City Lord lightly nodded, then smiled and asked, "After the breakthrough, how is your strength? Now I am somewhat unsure about your power."

"Strength?"

Zhou Yang was slightly stunned, then considered his reply, "It should be; within the Esteemed-level Realm there are few opponents, right?" "Oh?"

The Chaos City Lord's eyes brightened, then nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, extremely good!"

He wouldn't think Zhou Yang would deliberately brag, since there is no benefit in doing so.

"Our Human Race, constrained by body size and Life Gene, rarely has anyone at Immortal Level who can match a Universe Venerable."

The Chaos City Lord said, "Now that you possess such strength, it is a blessing for our Human Race."

Saying that, he looked at Zhou Yang and asked with a smile, "What are your plans next—are you going to build a Divine Kingdom?"

"Yes, I happen to have something that requires me to go out."

Zhou Yang nodded.

Although he no longer needs to build a Divine Kingdom, these matters need not all be explained to the Chaos City Lord.

"Hmm, you have broken through Immortal, and with Myriad Elephant Tower guarding souls, as long as you avoid entering certain dangerous Secret Realms, you should be safe."

The Chaos City Lord waved his hand, "Go then."

Zhou Yang respectfully bowed, then withdrew.

At Zhou Yang's level, the Chaos City Lord would not intervene; the road ahead is entirely his own.

When he returned to his own palace, Zhou Yang first used a servant's Divine Kingdom Teleportation to leave the Original Secret Realm.

Before leaving the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he had contracted many Seal King Immortal Servants, and many powerful Seal King Immortals also have their own Soul Slaves.

Thus, by using his servants' Divine Kingdom Teleportation, he could quickly reach most places in the Universe.

"Buzz~~~" On a desolate planet, emerald light spread.

A ferocious Immortal alien and a youth clad in dark‑gold battle armor appeared on this desolate planet.

Well done.

The armored youth smiled and glanced at the immortal alien.

That ferocious immortal alien even prostrated itself respectfully.

"By relying on the many alien races under my command, I have left numerous relic locations throughout the universe. This place is the nearest to my teacher's residence."

"Zhou Yang spoke softly, and with a wave of his hand he stored that ferocious immortal alien into the World Ring: 'Setting out from here to my teacher's residence, it's still quite a distance.'"

With a thought, a towering figure several hundred meters tall appeared beside him.

This figure was covered head to toe in blood-red metal armor, even the body beneath the armor was entirely metallic, and on its back it bore two War Blades each three to four hundred meters long, with edges razor-sharp.

"Master, you've finally let me out again; being cooped up in the World Ring all day bored me to death."

The metal giant jumped excitedly in the Xingkong, yet emitted a clear, childlike mechanical sound.

"Master, who are we going to slash this time?"

The metal giant asked excitedly.

This metal being is none other than the metal life Big Red Bee fused with the Yunmo Star, but now, after being nurtured by Zhou Yang's resources, it has advanced to a level comparable to a Crowned King Peak Immortal.

"Just hurry along honestly!"

Zhou Yang glared at it, and it immediately quieted down.

"Click, click"

A series of mechanical scraping sounds rang out, and the several-hundred-meter-tall metal giant's joints and body seemed to have numerous metal components reshaping and combining, quickly transforming into a blood-red triangular spacecraft.

"Spaceship, transform and set off! Master, please board!"

The hatch of the spacecraft opened, and from inside came the youthful, childlike metallic voice of the Big Red Bee.

"I thought you summoned me to fight, but it turns out you just wanted to hurry along."

"Or last time I went out having fun with Brother Babata, that Demon Hand King was cut down by my two blades to near Yun Luo; the mighty Seal King Immortal constantly begged for mercy—really hilarious, hahaha."

"."

Zhou Yang couldn't be bothered with that metal life led astray by some little demon, and he simply stepped into the spacecraft.

The destination's coordinates had already been transmitted to the spacecraft's control system; the triangular fighter immediately shot through space, then continuously accelerated, and in a moment it reached the limit of light speed, whereupon it vanished outright into the Dark Universe.
