Chapter 441: Yan Shui Lake

Yan Shui Lake is abundant in precious Ultimate Treasures, and its danger level is relatively low, so some factions have stationed people here.

Zi Yue Sheng Di has assigned the Sealing Furnace Lord to guard the skies above Yan Shui Lake permanently.

The spatial fluctuations above Yan Shui Lake are normal, allowing Instant Teleport.

"There just seemed to be an abnormal fluctuation—could it be an Ultimate Treasure emerging?" the Sealing Furnace Lord said, scanning the surroundings.

The perception of a super‑strong being is so powerful that it can not only see directly with the eyes but also sense with divine power.

Very quickly, the Sealing Furnace Lord spotted a figure far below.

"Is that the Cold Cliff Fortress?" the Sealing Furnace Lord wondered. "The Human Creator Lord—previously the Holy Lord specifically instructed us to keep a close watch on the Creator Lord's information."

"Coward!" the Sealing Furnace Lord muttered sarcastically, his voice so low that only he could hear it.

Unable to Instant Teleport, he could only fly.

"Ha ha, the Creator Lord's power is formidable; even if he doesn't leave, my Zi Yue Sheng Di will not duel you over such a matter," the Sealing Furnace Lord said calmly. "However, no matter how strong you are, at most you're only in the Cosmic Sea's rampant three‑reincarnation era."

After checking for safety, he Instant Teleported over.

The Realm of Gods is divided into three tiers: the First Tier World houses countless Immortal Divine Spirits, the Second Tier World is populated by many Universe Venerables, and only the Third Tier World is home to the Lord of the Universe.

Here the space is frozen, so Xiao Yu rode the Cold Cliff Fortress straight through, protected by palace Ultimate Treasures; even the Cold Wind Belt posed no danger to him.

"Alright, you're not here just to give me a reminder, right? Rest assured, I'll inform Youya," the Lord of Pan Ke added.

This dangerous area blocks the transmission of spatial fluctuations from two regions, making direct Instant Teleport impossible.

Inside the hall.

"Oh?" Xiao Yu said, still hearing it for the first time.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yu snorted.

The gold‑haired, short‑haired man in black armor stepped out of the temple and said, "Sealing Furnace."

However, those distinctions apply only to ordinary people; for super‑strong beings, such hierarchical divisions no longer matter.

"Above the Frozen Lake Thunder Fire lie the Twelve Great Abysses; six of them continuously spew Frozen Lake Thunder Fire, while the other six incessantly devour endless Frozen Lake Thunder Fire."

Flying at ten‑thousand times the speed of light through the Cold Wind Belt, he crossed in an instant; Xiao Yu then continued using the Three Thousand Blade Domain's area‑scanning function while consolidating other powers.

"Come, let's talk inside," the Sealing Furnace Lord said, pulling the Lord of Pan Ke into the temple.

A towering ice mountain sped through the Cold Wind Belt, where the belt was constantly surrounded by swirling Frozen Lake Thunder Fire.

The temple guards' attendants dared not disturb them; they had just recognized that this was a friend of their master, the Lord of Pan Ke.

Immediately, Xiao Yu rode the Cold Cliff Fortress, flying at ten‑thousand times light speed to the spot.

…

The closer one gets, the more the icy chill of the Frozen Lake Thunder Fire is felt, even freezing the surrounding space.

"This Yan Shui Lake is territory of my Zi Yue Sheng Di; you'd better leave at once," the Sealing Furnace Lord said.

The Sealing Furnace Lord, upon taking his seat, immediately said, "Earlier the Holy Lord instructed all Universe Lords of our Sheng Di to monitor the movements of the Primordial Cosmic Humans' Creator Lord. I just encountered the Creator Lord."

"I was just passing through," Xiao Yu replied coldly, then Instant Teleported away without giving the Sealing Furnace Lord another glance.

"What would happen if I didn't leave?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

The Sealing Furnace Lord is among the upper echelon of the hundreds of Universe Lords in Zi Yue Sheng Di, sharing the same tier as the Star River Lord.

The Zi Yue Sheng Di cosmos, the Realm of Gods.

At the same time, Xiao Yu noticed a golden streak behind him rushing toward him, so he halted, ready to see what the other side intended.

"Four‑faced Sixteen Arms, Zi Yue Sealing Furnace Lord," Xiao Yu recalled, having learned some data about the Sealing Furnace Lord from earlier intel.

Then the Cold Cliff Fortress headed toward the Frozen Lake Thunder Fire above.

"Hmm, I still need to report to the Holy Lord," the Sealing Furnace Lord nodded slightly, then rose, left the temple, and walked toward the core of the Sheng Di.

…

"You are the Sealing Furnace Lord?" Xiao Yu asked with a slight nod.

Although what the Sealing Furnace Lord said was factual, it still left an unsettling feeling.

Through the Cold Cliff Fortress, Xiao Yu saw the endless Frozen Lake Thunder Fire above being devoured into a twisted massive vortex, like a black hole of an infinite abyss.

The Sealing Furnace Lord opposite just now deeply regretted his tone, fearing that a single slip might let the Creator Lord cut him down in an instant.

Within the Cosmic Vessel, territories had even been divided among factions.

The Sealing Furnace Lord is a member of the Zi Yue Tribe of Zi Yue Sheng Di.

"No need to worry much; it seems he was just passing by, gave a brief encounter and left," the Sealing Furnace Lord said.

"You are the Primordial Cosmic Humans' Creator Lord," the Sealing Furnace Lord said softly as he flew over.

"I didn't expect the Creator Lord to come to this dangerous Cosmic Vessel," the Sealing Furnace Lord remarked.

"And within the Eighth Abyss above me lies a treasure," Xiao Yu constantly cross‑checked the coordinates, continuously adjusting the Cold Cliff Fortress's flight path.

Outside a white domed temple, the Sealing Furnace Lord stepped out, flew to another temple and shouted, "Pan Ke, Pan Ke."

The primary group of Zi Yue Sheng Di is the Zi Yue Tribe; among them, the purest‑blood Zi Yue tribe members possess Eight‑faced Twenty‑four Arms, followed by Four‑faced Sixteen Arms, then Three‑faced Eight Arms, and the most common are single‑faced double‑armed.

He also knows that the Creator Lord is not to be provoked; the Divine Eye Clan serves as a living example, having been exterminated after a campaign against them.

Xiao Yu looked at the thin mist ahead, where countless luminous ice spears floated, each comparable to a full‑force strike from an ordinary Universe Lord.

Though angry, he could not slaughter indiscriminately, lest the Human Race be targeted by all forces of the Cosmic Sea.

"It's time to fly upward," Xiao Yu said, keeping his eyes on the coordinates, approaching the target by the shortest and safest route.

This is also the four tiers of the Zi Yue people, divided by bloodline purity.

From hundreds of light‑years away, Xiao Yu silently comforted himself, "For the rise of the Human Race, I'll endure for now."

By then, though he might not fear it, humanity will face annihilation.

The entire Yan Shui Lake contains nearly a hundred hazardous spatial spots; the most ordinary is the Cold Wind Belt, with a maximum diameter of about three light‑years and a minimum of 1.8 light‑years.

"So the Creator Lord has reached Yan Shui Lake," the Lord of Pan Ke added. "Then we must be cautious. Yan Shui Lake is a small outpost of our Zi Yue cosmos within the inner domain, and we cannot afford any loss."

Only after seeing the Creator Lord actually leave did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Xiao Yu also felt that almost endless swallowing power.

Xiao Yu did not resist, gathered his Domain power, and guarded outside Cold Cliff Fortress.

The closer one gets to the black hole, the stronger the swallowing power becomes. (End of chapter)
