Chapter 197: Leaving Chaos City

Inside a private room of a restaurant in Rain-Phase Mountain of the Virtual Universe.

Bo Lan, clad in a snow‑white battle robe, and the towering, burly Rong Jun walked side by side into the private room; besides the server, Uka and Hong were also present.

They had already been struck by Xiao Yu and had no intention of inspecting the scene; they merely asked Jian Shou Zhe Ba Fen to send them the results of Xiao Yu's breach of the Sky Bridge.

"Ha ha, you're here, sit, sit," Uka laughed.

Rong Jun and Bo Lan both sat down.

"You step back first," Uka instructed the server.

【Ability: Complete defense against Venerable Rank and below soul attacks; reduces soul intrusion of Venerable Rank by 99.99999%; reduces Lord of the Universe soul‑intrusion attacks by 99.99%.】

……

The star‑devouring metallic lifeform has been upgraded to Immortal Level and simultaneously integrated into the F9-grade Spaceship.

This defensive artifact is so powerful that even a Venerable Rank user can stand toe‑to‑toe with an ordinary Lord of the Universe.

"Being born in the same era as Xiao Yu is both an honor and a sorrow!" Bo Lan sighed.

"Perhaps I should properly unleash my talent; I can't always be outclassed by the third," Hong said darkly.

【Ability 4: The battle armor can transform into any form while its defensive capability remains unchanged.】

Having obtained the Heaven‑Crushing Blade and the Chaos Blade, Xiao Yu felt that his original Immortal Divine Armor could now be retired.

"Hm?" the four of them all checked their messages.

"Analyze two artifacts."

"Yes, master!" thousands of ground giants bowed respectfully.

Since Xiao Yu became Realm Lord, 600 years have passed; Mo Yun Teng has absorbed and digested all resources, its strength has risen to Immortal Level, and it now awaits Xiao Yu's return to the Primordial Universe before it can establish the Divine Kingdom.

【Ability 1: Complete defense against attacks below Venerable Rank; reduces Venerable Rank impact, physical, and divine power attacks by 99.9999%; reduces Lord of the Universe attacks by 99.9%.】

A Insect Queen as massive as a giant radiated overwhelming pressure, "Xiao Yu actually managed to breach the 19th layer of the Sky Bridge; his law comprehension places him among the strong even within Seal King. Dispatch forces into every Outer Realm Battlefield immediately; once Xiao Yu's trace is found, crush him with full force!"

"His Highness Xiao Yu."

The server bowed respectfully, then stepped out and closed the private‑room door; inside remained only Uka, Rong Jun, Bo Lan, Hong, and the others.

Bo Lan, Hong, and Rong Jun are now Domain Lord Level of the Primordial Secret Realm; they have grown more familiar with each other, and they are all impressed by Hong's open‑minded, all‑embracing heart.

They left the residence and entered the inner palace of the Chaos City Lord's mansion.

Xiao Yu spent 10 trillion Wish Gold Coins to forge a tower‑shaped soul artifact, and spent another 200 billion Wish Gold Coins to create a battle‑armor defensive artifact and an offensive artifact.

The Chaos City Lord stood up and turned his gaze toward Xiao Yu.

The Immortal guards of the inner palace greeted warmly and cleared the way.

【Ability 1: Space Squeeze; the range of the Space Squeeze depends on the amount of divine power and World Force the user employs.】

【Combat‑blade attack artifact: Heaven‑Crushing Blade】

"Hmm, it's time to go out and explore," the Chaos City Lord nodded slightly, "Where do you plan to go first? the Universe Secret Realm? the Outer Realm Battlefield?"

"Control Time and Space" also cultivated and mastered two moves: 'King Slayer' and 'Universe Slash'.

……

【Ability 2: Seal Breaking; can dispel spatial seals, Time Pause, and other spacetime‑seal mysteries.】

Two Fire‑God Source Crystals worth 400 million points each arrived, followed by various Mechanical Race weapons and equipment.

【Ability 3: Thousand‑fold increase to the user's law power; requirement: fully comprehend the Fundamental Law.】

"Yes, master," Xiao Yu replied.

【30 Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

On the vast ruined continent, Xiao Yu appeared and walked up to a giant seated on his knees.

"He usually does something that startles everyone!" Hong smiled, "Even if he breezes through the 20th layer in one go, I wouldn't be surprised."

Insufficient Wish Points caused an immediate absorption of 300 million Mixed Yuan Units of Universe Crystals.

【Ability 3: Hundred‑fold increase to the user's law power; requirement: acknowledgment by the Fundamental Law.】

【Ability 2: Time Reversal; when subjected to a fatal attack, it passively triggers Time Reversal, restoring all injuries except soul‑enslavement within 24 hours. It can be actively triggered, once per ten years.】

Xiao Yu spent 10 billion Wish Gold Coins to forge ten low‑grade high‑tier defensive artifacts.

"For three millennia we thought law comprehension would become harder over time; Xiao Yu started high, so his progress must be small. We worked hard to catch up, but the gap kept widening," Rong Jun shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Yu naturally understood that the Chaos City Lord was referring to the earlier breach of the 19th layer of the Sky Bridge.

During Xiao Yu's 900 years in the Primordial Universe, Wu had risen to Immortal Level, but unfortunately he is a soul‑type being and is not recognized by the Universe Origin; even after reaching Immortal Level, no soul metamorphosis occurred. Yet Wu, who has comprehended the Soul Law, can apply soul‑based secret arts beyond any peer human.

"Master," Xiao Yu said respectfully.

【Quality: Top‑grade high‑tier artifact.】

"Outer Realm Battlefield," Xiao Yu said respectfully.

He sent it directly to Luo Feng to finish.

Beyond the distant Human Race frontier, in the darkness‑shrouded Divine Kingdom.

Xiao Yu's ascension to Realm Lord could not be hidden from the alien tribes' surveillance; as soon as Xiao Yu cleared the 19th layer of the Sky Bridge, the Insect Race, Demon Race, Prisoner Race, Mechanical Race and other alien tribes learned of it and dispatched Venerable Rank forces stealthily into the Outer Realm Battlefield.

【Ability 3: Hundred‑fold increase to the wearer's internal Universe Origin energy, mental telekinesis, and Immortal Divine Power recovery speed.】

While the four were discussing, a message suddenly arrived.

【Analysis successful!】

【Battle‑armor defensive artifact: Venerable Divine Armor】

"Well done!" the Chaos City Lord said gently, "Ready to leave Chaos City?"

The Chaos City Lord sighed, "My little disciple's talent surpasses Kedi's; I hope he lives well. Perhaps the Human Race will gain another Lord of the Universe!"

Xiao Yu has prepared to leave Chaos City and return to the Primordial Universe; before departing, he intends to spend all his points and exhaust the six newly acquired Chaos Tablet comprehension opportunities.

Xiao Yu entered the inner palace, quickly reached the courtyard of Chaos Ruins, took a step forward, and the space shifted!

All three artifacts recognized their master, were refined, and the refining was swift, taking less than a month in total.

Exactly 1.56 billion points; spending them all is easy, but maximizing efficiency in improving oneself is not.

【Quality: Superior high‑grade artifact.】

"Yes."

In these 600 years, Xiao Yu not only gained insight through temporal‑spatial comprehension, but also cultivated the Phantom Slash Technique to the fourth tier, the "Phantom Thousand Slashes" level.

"I don't know how many layers Xiao Yu will clear this time," Rong Jun turned his head toward Hong. "Hong, can you guess?"

The venerable one's soul attack is weakened to one ten‑millionth, likely still unable to shake Xiao Yu's own soul defense.

【Quality: Superior high‑grade artifact.】

"Has he cleared 19 layers of the Sky Bridge?" Uka, Bo Lan, Rong Jun, and Hong exchanged glances.

Soul‑defense artifact: Soul Tower.

In the primordial universe, within Chaos City and Chaos Ruins.

Realm Lord Level core members must undergo life‑and‑death trials, one in the Outer Realm Battlefield, the other in the Universe Secret Realm; both places are extremely dangerous.

Of course, Xiao Yu now harbors millions of Insect Race legions within his body; with his perfect genes, his base power reaches 10,081 times the ninth tier of a Realm Lord, and with a hundredfold amplification it equals a million times the ninth tier of a Realm Lord, tantamount to the invincible strength of a Seal King.
