Chapter 213: The Strongest of the First Reincarnation Era

"Hahaha, it seems my luck is good; I actually ran into a newcomer who just set out to explore the Universe Sea!"

A cold laugh echoed through the endless flames, resonating across this span of space-time: "Human, state your name; your name will become a sacrifice on my eternal path, forever remembered."

As the voice rang out, a towering giant spanning tens of thousands of kilometers slowly emerged from the endless flames.

He wore silver battle armor; his exposed cheeks, neck, and arms were covered with fine blue scales, and three massive horns sprouted from his head, each wrapped in concentric Jin Shu patterns, making the horns dazzling.

"Is this... the Desolate Race of the First Reincarnation Era?"

At the moment the figure appeared, Zhou Yang's brows twitched slightly.

The Desolate Race, as one of the peak peoples of the First Reincarnation Era, now boasts three Universe Strongest among its ranks.

Moreover, the Desolate Race's strong ones possess innate divine bodies, granting them extraordinary melee talent; each Desolate Race strongman's combat power is truly astonishing!

"Look at that appearance; it seems like the Desolate Race's Lord of Gui Long."

Zhou Yang fixed his gaze on the towering figure striding forward, and information about the opponent flashed rapidly in his mind.

For some Universe Masters who frequently operate in the Universe Sea, the Hong Alliance's database naturally contains detailed records.

Lord of Gui Long, the Universe Master of the Desolate Race—the peak people of the First Reincarnation Era—is a Fourth-tier 'Top-tier Universe Lord'! He not only commands several sets of the Universe Master's Strongest Secret Method, but his own Supreme Treasures are also immensely powerful; his weapons and armor are at Peak Supreme Treasure level, and he possesses a Top-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure, the Xuan Huo Prison.

Combined with the Desolate Race's super melee talent, once this Lord of Gui Long employs a desperate fighting style, his strength ranks among the top of all Fourth-tier Universe Lords! "Hm hm, you human do have some courage, not fleeing upon seeing me."

Lord of Gui Long's sharp laugh reverberated, laced with a hint of ferocity and madness: "What, is this your first outing for training, scared stiff? Hahaha, cowardly Human Race!"

Zhou Yang stared at the raging black flames around him; this was the Lord of Gui Long's Top-level Domain Treasure, the Xuan Huo Prison. When fully activated, its power was almost on par with the Lord of Chaos City's Thousand Treasure River, easily eradicating ordinary Universe Venerables.

However, the flames striking Zhou Yang felt like a gentle breeze on the face, unable to cause him any harm.

"I am the Original Universe Human Race Reincarnation Master."

Zhou Yang looked at the Lord of Gui Long, a faint smile playing on his face, "Lord of Gui Long, think carefully; if you intend to strike me, be ready for Yun Luo."

"Boom~"

As his voice rang out, endless Jin Shu sword light burst forth with a boom, the fierce sword aura sweeping all around, instantly dispelling every black flame nearby.

Moreover, black Divine Swords roamed within the endless sword light, their bone‑piercing sharp energy augmenting the blade's power further.

After breaking through the Universe Master, Zhou Yang remained in the Original Universe for nearly two thousand years before venturing out to the Universe Sea.

During those two thousand years, with the aid of the entire Hong Alliance, the number of Divine Swords integrated into the Sword River Luo has reached six, already possessing the power of a Top-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure! "Boom—boom—boom~~~"

The endless sword light generated by the Sword River Luo enveloped a vast area of space-time, standing in stark opposition to the Lord of Gui Long's black flames.

Zhou Yang even stood at the center of the entire endless Sword Light Domain, gazing at the Lord of Gui Long from afar.

"Lord of Reincarnation? A kid from the Third Reincarnation Era? Never heard of it."

Lord of Gui Long's massive pupils scanned the surrounding endless sword light that subtly contested his Xuan Huo Prison, a grim smile appearing on his face, "But I am quite interested in your Domain Supreme Treasure!"

Boom! The Lord of Gui Long erupted instantly, gripping a massive golden Divine Mace in his palm, which slammed toward Zhou Yang with a thunderous crash! "Boom—boom—boom~~~"

It was as if an immense Jin Shu mountain illusion crashed onto Zhou Yang, its crushing weight instantly bearing down on him, hampering his movements.

"The First Reincarnation Era truly is full of madmen; whether known or not, they strike the moment they meet!"

Zhou Yang sighed, then his divine body rapidly expanded, swelling to tens of thousands of kilometers; his hand, clad in Reincarnation Divine Armor gauntlets, thrust forward violently! Strands of Chaos Airflow gathered between his fingers, forming a Chaos vortex in an instant! "Boom!"

The Jin Shu mountain illusion collided heavily with the Chaos vortex, the endless momentum exploding, causing the surrounding black flames and fierce sword light to erupt violently.

"Hoo—hoo—hoo~~~" After the collision, the Jin Shu mountain illusion shattered with a boom, the Lord of Gui Long's golden mace rose high, and his body involuntarily retreated backward repeatedly.

In contrast, Zhou Yang's arm merely sank slightly, yet he remained standing firmly in the void.

Zhou Yang now wields Divine Power at Myriad-Fold Gene Level as a Universe Master, considerably stronger than the Lord of Gui Long.

Moreover, the power of the Fusion Secret Method 'Chaos Hole Suppression Killing' already subtly exceeds the scope of the Universe Master's Strongest Secret Method, giving Zhou Yang a clear advantage in this strike.

"Oh? Your move's power is not small!"

The Lord of Gui Long glanced at Zhou Yang, a piercing gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Haha, rare to have a decent opponent, come at me again!"

The Lord of Gui Long let out a hearty laugh, then lunged forward once more!

This time, the aura on his golden mace changed! Previously it was heavy, unimaginably dense and crushing, as if to crush everything! Now, the entire mace seemed to merge into a swirl of golden light, becoming faintly ethereal.

"Sss~~~"

A lightning‑fast dazzling strike suddenly lit up! It seemed to break all limits of time and space, a blinding golden light arriving before Zhou Yang in the blink of an eye.

Fast, beyond ultimate speed! Facing this strike at the limit of speed, Zhou Yang felt completely locked onto.

No matter how he tried to dodge, the blow would inevitably land on him!

"Extinction!"

Zhou Yang's divine body ignited instantly, and in a flash 10% of his Divine Power transformed into a surging torrent of endless force.

A black ethereal glow shot out from in front of him, heading straight toward the dazzling golden light! Zhou Yang had already broken through the Universe Master, his Divine Power level soaring a hundredfold.

Now his 10% Divine Power, in total magnitude, matches his previous 100% full‑force strike! "Sss—sss—sss~~~"

The black ethereal glow and the dazzling golden light met, rapidly annihilating each other.

In the end, the dazzling golden light dispersed first, followed by the revealed golden giant mace being repelled by Zhou Yang's palm.

After the black ethereal glow expended most of its power, the remaining force was weakened by the Lord of Gui Long's Peak Supreme Treasure battle armor, yet it still inflicted no effective damage on him.

"Haha, Lord of Gui Long, coming without returning is impolite; try my move as well!"

Zhou Yang laughed aloud.

At the same moment, dense rule patterns on his Dark Gold Battle Armor began to light up continuously.

Under the interlinked dense rule patterns, the Dark Gold Battle Armor's chestplate, war boots, greaves, helm, arm guards, gauntlets, and other parts each emitted dazzling Jin Shu scales that shone piercingly.

A total of 10,081 scales, each engraved with intricate secret patterns, with strands of colored light converging and twisting along them, turning into sparkling special symbols.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the Reincarnation Divine Armor seemed to form a strange link with the Chaos Ocean of the entire Universe Sea, endless Chaos Airflow surging forth, then continuously gathering into Zhou Yang's dual gauntlets.

Zhou Yang, as if blessed, swiftly activated the Fusion Secret Method 'Chaos Hole Suppression Killing'.

「Boom—~~~」

Endless Chaos Airflow rolled and rose in Zhou Yang's palms, as if an ancient world was being opened up; a heavy, solemn, vast, ancient aura continuously surged forth—the might of this strike even surpassed Zhou Yang's own imagination!
