Chapter 309

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lord of Ice Peak, Dragon Xing Zhuzhu, Lord of Desolate Inspection and the other eleven Hongmeng Alliance universe masters arrived one after another, and together with the previously arrived Lord of Darkness and Chaos City Lord, there are a total of thirteen universe masters.

"The Great Axe is in the Cosmic Sea, rushing back, but we can't wait for his return," said the Chaos City Lord. "Let's act."

Boom!

Suddenly—

The entire Yuan Suo Secret Realm seemed to have been detonated, completely shrouded in purple‑golden flames. Within the endless purple‑golden fire swirled vortexes, and the power emanating from this purple‑golden flame was even stronger than the power when the Purple Sky Palace fully erupted.

The Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness and the other thirteen universe masters, along with Xiao Yu, instant‑teleported to the edge of the purple‑golden flames.

"What cataclysm has occurred in this Yuan Suo Secret Realm? How could it be enveloped by flames of such overwhelming power?" After disappearing for a moment, Dragon Xing Zhuzhu had already surveyed the entire perimeter of the Yuan Suo Secret Realm, all of which was shrouded by the purple‑golden flames.

"What kind of flame is this? It even makes me feel threatened," the Lord of Darkness sighed; it was still his first time encountering flames of such potent power.

"Now the entire Yuan Suo Secret Realm has been sealed by a Space Seal; even we cannot instant‑teleport. To enter, one must fly in," said the Lord of Desolate Inspection.

"It seems that the Lord of Purple Heaven, previously unafraid of the Insect Tribe Queen, Dream Demon Ancestor and others, and watching the three race universe masters go ahead, had already prepared for this!" the Chaos City Lord laughed, "That Lord of Purple Heaven is truly scheming!"

…

Immediately, Xiao Yu used the Mo Yun Teng Divine Nation to teleport away.

"Chaos City Lord, should we still enter?" asked a universe master from the Hongmeng Alliance.

"Teacher."

At the highest point of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.

Over ten thousand years, even though Xiao Yu only allocated a soul speed five thousand times faster to comprehend the Beast God inheritance, he still reached the Sixth Tier of the Beast God inheritance.

Xiao Yu was cultivating on Zijing Island, while also awaiting news.

"Xiao Yu, you're still not leaving; what are you waiting for?" the Chaos City Lord transmitted his voice.

"Ah, okay." Xiao Yu was startled for a moment, then regained his composure and solemnly transmitted, "Teacher, be careful."

Three months later, Xiao Yu received an audience with the Chaos City Lord within the Virtual Universe.

Xiao Yu came to Zijing Island precisely because it is the Ancestor God Sect, protected by the Ancestor God; even ordinary Strongest of the Universe dare not trespass, unless they are those lone Strongest of the Universe.

An ancient, plain cyan‑gray massive round table stood amid endless currents of air; beside this cyan‑gray stone table were six huge stone chairs, each chair bearing intricate Secret Patterns.

"Go, why not go? A Strongest Supreme Treasure, a rare chance, and even in the Primordial Universe, even the Strongest of the Universe can at most exert Sixth Tier universe master power, which is not enough to make us timid," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile, transmitting his voice.

Using the Mo Yun Teng Divine Nation as a relay, they teleported into the mansion of Zijing Island.

"Haha, my disciple is truly cautious!" the Chaos City Lord smiled.

"Sit down." The Chaos City Lord smiled and pointed at the chair opposite.

"Yes." Xiao Yu sat down, glanced at the stone table before him, his mind full of curiosity; after following his teacher for so many years, he had never known there was such a place in the teacher's palace—a floating platform built in mid‑air of the palace.

Xiao Yu looked at the carvings on the stone table; they depicted scenes: three powerful beings respectfully saluting a single powerful being, a lone powerful being slashing in all directions, and two powerful beings jointly attacking a group of powerful beings. Though the statues were abstract, Xiao Yu instantly recognized one of them as his teacher, the Chaos City Lord.

Xiao Yu also noticed the carving on the chair he sat on, portraying a powerful being bathed in blazing fire battling an even stronger being.

"You should have guessed that the Purple Sky Palace set a trap in the Yuan Suo Secret Realm," the Chaos City Lord said solemnly.

"Teacher, what exactly happened?" Xiao Yu asked, though he had some guesses, he still didn't fully understand.

"Haha." The Chaos City Lord laughed: "The matter is this: the Lord of Purple Heaven previously used the Endless Era to turn the entire Yuan Suo Secret Realm into a massive trap. The day we left the Yuan Suo Secret Realm, the Lord of Purple Heaven fought together with the universe masters of the Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race alliance. After the Lord of Purple Heaven was gravely wounded, he kept fleeing deeper into the Yuan Suo Secret Realm."

"The Lord of Purple Heaven has been gravely wounded, his strength halved; how could those universe masters and Strongest of the Universe let him go? Not even old grudges, even for a Strongest Supreme Treasure they wouldn't abandon. After they pursued him into the depths of the Yuan Suo Secret Realm, the Lord of Purple Heaven used the ultimate secret technique to trigger the trap; of the thirty‑eight universe masters who entered, only thirty‑three escaped, five fell within the trap," the Chaos City Lord sighed.

"If it weren't for your fated encounter that let you break in early, exposing the news of his survival and revealing a flaw in the Lord of Purple Heaven's trap, otherwise, after waiting another several ten‑thousand eras, all thirty‑eight universe masters besieging the Lord of Purple Heaven would have perished; perhaps only the three Strongest of the Universe would have survived, and even they would have been gravely wounded," the Chaos City Lord continued.

Xiao Yu held his breath.

He could imagine the peril at that time, and was glad he hadn't insisted on following; otherwise he might have had to experience the feeling of a Human True Body falling.

"Those thirty‑three escaped universe masters are all wounded, haha; the treasures required just to restore their Divine Bodies would fill a whole pot!" the Chaos City Lord laughed.

"Teacher, what became of the Strongest Supreme Treasure?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

"The Lord of Purple Heaven, just as he was billions of eras ago, vanished without a trace. Whether in combat ability or survival skill, this Lord of Purple Heaven remains top‑tier," the Chaos City Lord sighed.

"Teacher, our Human Race hasn't been harmed, right?" Xiao Yu continued.

"After the thirteen of us universe masters entered the secret realm, we were affected by some minor traps; the Lord of Desolate Inspection and four other universe masters had their Divine Bodies severely damaged. However, for us now, restoring Divine Bodies is quite simple," the Chaos City Lord said, "And that is thanks to your Primordial Treasure; otherwise we wouldn't have dared such action."

Xiao Yu finally felt at ease; the Human Race and even the Hongmeng Alliance suffered no loss from his butterfly effect.

As for the life or death of those Alien Tribe universe masters, who cares?

"Xiao Yu, do you still remember when you lent your Primordial Treasure to the tribe, the reward they were to give you?" the Chaos City Lord suddenly asked.

"I remember, I once had a chance to use the Giant Axe Microcosm to accelerate time," Xiao Yu replied, puzzled; he naturally recalled having applied for it before, but the Great Axe was still out in the Cosmic Sea and hadn't returned.

"In three more years, the Great Axe will return to the Primordial Universe, and your earlier application will be approved," the Chaos City Lord said.

"Haha," Xiao Yu laughed heartily.

He had long intended to use the Giant Axe Founder's microcosm for acceleration, gaining more time to devise his own secret arts or study the Chaos Law.

Xiao Yu left the Chaos City Lord's palace, returned to his own palace, continued cultivating, and also waited.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Palace of Qianbao River.

"Xiao Yu, the Giant Axe Founder has returned; he will lead you into the microcosm," the Chaos City Lord said.
