Chapter 305: Purple Sky Palace Lord

"Damn it!" the Purple Crystal Giant roared, then instantly fled into the distance.

Xiao Yu did not intervene. The fact that the Purple Crystal Giant survived just now was because Xiao Yu's power, akin to controlling the Heaven-Opening Secret Technique, misfired; otherwise, with the Open Heaven power amplified a hundredfold, he could have instantly erased that Purple Crystal Giant.

Now Xiao Yu no longer cares about the several High-level Treasures on that Purple Crystal Giant's body.

The Purple Crystal Giant, having just flown out of the Illusory Cold Nine Heavens Domain, turned its head toward him and sent a divine telepathic voice, "This is not a place for you. You are stronger than me; I admire your strength, but if you wish to stay alive, leave now. If you continue to press forward, my master will surely kill you."

The Purple Crystal Giant vanished into thin air, using Instant Teleport to depart.

The Purple Crystal Giant's words startled Xiao Yu.

"His master? With the strength of a Top-level Overlord and such a massive Divine Body, he could even flee from an ordinary Lord of the Universe. Who then could be his master?" Xiao Yu realized that this endless flame was far from simple.

No wonder it has attracted some Lords of the Universe to investigate.

Xiao Yu was surrounded by the Illusory Cold Nine Heavens Domain, cautiously advancing; each step spanned billions of kilometers, and wherever he passed, the flames were absorbed by the Bright Moon Bottle.

In the void, tiny crystal shards occasionally emerged.

"Damn human, how dare you disturb the master."

"Even if he's not a Lord of the Universe, his strength is comparable," the Purple Crystal Giant Zi Liu said.

Within the endless flame, Xiao Yu, over ninety thousand kilometers tall, had a Bright Moon Bottle above his head, surrounded by the Illusory Cold Nine Heavens Domain, moving swiftly, each step a short-range Instant Teleport.

For three full days he encountered no obstacles, yet Xiao Yu still sensed some powerful beings watching from the shadows.

"But Zi Liu, what should we do? The master's authority tolerates no provocation. Should we let him breach the master's Hall?" the slightly smaller Purple Crystal Giant Zi Liu asked.

"The human is advancing toward the master's Hall! We must stop him; we cannot let him disturb the master!"

Since those hidden presences had given up disturbing him, Xiao Yu naturally ignored them. After half a month of marching, a vague corner of a massive palace emerged amid the distant endless violet flame, the towering palace revealing just a fragment.

Zi Liu and Zi Liu instantly vanished into the endless flame, departing from the palace.

"His strength is formidable; even Lord Zi Liu nearly fell."

Deep within the endless flame, outside a towering divine temple constructed from Heavenly Gang Crystals.

"Hmph! If he doesn't heed our warning, we won't fare well, and he will also fall," the Purple Crystal Giant Zi Liu snorted.

"His strength is so great; could he be a Lord of the Universe?"

After Lord Zi Liu took a loss, those special beings hidden in the shadows each gave up trying to stop Xiao Yu, the human.

"Heavenly Gang Crystal!" Xiao Yu exclaimed with delight. This Heavenly Gang Crystal is a precious material formed when Heavenly Gang Purple Fire condenses to its extreme, containing intense fire and void law energy; each grain is worth as much as a Heavy Treasure.

"Watch, when he meets his master, he will regret it, but by then it will be too late."

"Zi Rong, I was almost cut down by his blade, let alone you."

The incomparably towering palace radiated a purple‑gold hue; even the single visible corner was unimaginably massive.

The endless violet flame rushed outward from the palace, as if this purple‑gold palace were the source of the Heavenly Gang Purple Fire.

"How can a palace exist deep within this endless flame?" Xiao Yu thought, perhaps the master the Purple Crystal Giant mentioned resides inside this palace.

Even a Lord of the Universe would not frighten Xiao Yu; the massive World Tree Clone within the Divine Kingdom is his greatest support, and even if the Human True Body falls, it is merely a loss of some Ultimate Treasures.

Ultimate Treasures—Xiao Yu now lacks nothing in that regard; the Divine Kingdom possesses hundreds of Top-level Supreme Treasure Weapons, as well as materials to forge nearly a hundred top‑rare Ultimate Treasures.

Moreover, on Jiang Shen Star, Yan Sancai continues to amass materials.

Xiao Yu steered the Illusory Cold Nine Heavens forward swiftly and soon arrived at the palace's main gate.

The palace gate appeared ordinary but exuded endless pressure; above it were three incomparably intricate Secret Pattern characters, indecipherable yet their meaning instantly transmitted to his mind—Purple Sky Palace!

"Purple Sky Palace?" Xiao Yu had heard of it before.

In the early Primordial Universe, before the Human Race emerged, the Purple Sky Palace was already famed among the super‑strong beings of countless cosmic races; wherever the Purple Sky Palace passed, a sea of slaughter followed. The Purple Sky Palace Lord's temperament is bizarre—if he dislikes a particular strong being, he will march straight to that being's stronghold, even into the heartlands of some races' territories, determined to slay the target.

However, the Purple Sky Palace Lord's origin? Identity? Which race? True strength?

Everything remains unknown!

It is known that the Purple Sky Palace is both a Flying Palace Treasure and a Domain Treasure.

Back then the Purple Sky Palace Lord roamed the cosmos, slaughtering countless foes, bearing grudges against nearly 99% of the forces in the universe! Many Lords of the Universe sought his death; though the Purple Sky Palace Lord was solitary, his power was immense, and more than five Lords of the Universe had fallen by his hand.

And the Purple Sky Palace Lord has been missing for billions of eras.

There are even rumors that the Purple Sky Palace Lord was besieged by the eight great super‑powers' Lords of the Universe and has already perished.

Never imagined that today I would see the Purple Sky Palace again.

Within the palace shrouded by chaotic currents on Thunder Island of the Virtual Universe.

Xiao Yu materialized out of thin air, stepped up to the Chaos City Lord, and respectfully bowed, "Master."

"Xiao Yu, why are you in such a hurry to come?" the Chaos City Lord asked directly.

"Master, within the endless flame of the Yuan Suo Secret Realm, I discovered the Purple Sky Palace, and its Lord appears to be inside." Xiao Yu said plainly.

"What? The Purple Sky Palace Lord, how can that old fellow still be alive?" the Chaos City Lord exclaimed, having only heard of the Purple Sky Palace Lord but never seen him.

"Xiao Yu, leave at once; that's beyond your capability," the Chaos City Lord urged.

"Master, to escape, I'm afraid it's already too late," Xiao Yu said helplessly.

"Hold on, I will arrive immediately," the Chaos City Lord added.

Before the Purple Sky Palace, Xiao Yu was pondering whether to enter; the Purple Sky Palace is not only a Flying Palace Treasure but also a Domain Treasure, its power boundless.

"Boom!"

A towering pressure descended instantly, radiating from the Purple Sky Palace across dozens of light‑years, while the surrounding spacetime was completely seized, and spatial fluctuations halted in an instant.

"Lord of the Universe!" Xiao Yu gasped. In his hand appeared the D‑grade metal shard the Chaos City Lord had given him; with a slight pressure, the shard, infused with the Chaos City Lord's divine power, shattered.

Xiao Yu slightly lifted his head and saw a figure emanating endless killing aura appear at the palace gate; he wore a black battle robe, sprouted a pair of purple curved horns, wore a black mask, his tail protruded from his war skirt, sweeping slightly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yu.

"Purple Sky Palace Lord?" Xiao Yu slowly turned his gaze; the black aura of his Heaven-Crushing Blade intensified, his entire aura shifted dramatically, instantly drawing upon over ten thousand times his soul, the soul's pressure flaring like fire.

The Divine Body spontaneously ignited, its power surging thousands to tens of thousands times.

Lord of the Universe, so what?
