Chapter 164, The Netherworld Mirror
There was no other way; the Xi Feng Wings here on the human race were the last piece that had been used over the past two hundred thousand years. Even knowing that it would require blood loss, they had to replace it. Before this, he had already used various means to obtain the precious pieces from the White Elephant Venerable of the Demon Race and the Blood Dance Venerable of the Prison Race. After all, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance held a transcendent position, and the strong members of the race did not have any deadly enmity with the major forces.
The final result of the Xi Feng Wings transaction was that the Golden Horn Lord acquired the complete Sky-Patrolling Wings, whose power surged in his hands, comparable to a top-tier flight treasure. However, the Lord of Peng Gong also acquired a top-tier treasure armor set, whose power rivaled that of ordinary top-tier treasure armor. He was also an ancient universe lord with avatars, and his main battle avatar, which roamed the cosmic sea, used a top-tier treasure armor set. Although not the absolute best, it was still of high quality. Now, his main body, remaining in the primordial universe, could also use a top-tier treasure set.
However, the last piece of the high-level treasure set belonging to the Lord of the Netherworld is in the hands of the Zerg Queen, so it is estimated that it will be impossible to complete the set.
……
If we were to name the most sensational news in the last hundred thousand years, besides the fact that Hanyang is a member of the Hong Alliance, it would be that twenty-three of the Netherworld Palace's tokens, the Netherworld Sword Seals, have finally appeared, and only the last Netherworld Sword Seal is left to be revealed—each token is under the watchful eyes of many powerful figures, making it very difficult to conceal.
Currently, all major powers have powerful figures stationed on Primordial Star 08314, mostly universe lords, waiting for the Netherworld Palace to open. This has led to Ye Muxuan's three avatars not going there, and even those universe overlords are refusing to go.
Since the faction of the Chien-Yue clan was revealed, many powerful figures knew that, barring any idiots, the person chosen to enter the Netherworld Palace this time would most likely be the Giant Axe Founder, and less likely the Chaos City Lord. Therefore, the powerful figures confident of entering the Netherworld Palace were all top-tier cosmic overlords with the combat power of a cosmic lord, essentially cosmic lords themselves.
Compared to the Netherworld Palace, the Nine-Colored Star, a token of the Star Realm, only caused a stir comparable to ordinary treasures upon its emergence, so it still has the potential to remain hidden—at least no one else knows that Hanzhe has obtained a token—and to this day, it is unknown how many tokens have been definitively revealed.
However, according to rumors, more than ten of the nine-colored stars have already appeared, and it is estimated that it will take at most tens of thousands of years to gather them all, at which point another battle will be inevitable.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the avatar of the Jadeite slammed down with the Heavy Crack Hammer, blasting a high-level Venerable from the Northern Frontier Alliance millions of kilometers away. The special energy sweeping from the Xuanhuang Domain was like a mudslide, carrying a supreme treasure back to his side and storing it in his world ring.
The battle for these treasures has ended. The three treasures that appeared were not part of a set, but rather individual pieces. One was snatched by a clone of the Jade Demon, another by seven high-level Venerables from two teams of the Northern Frontier Alliance, and the third by the Prison Clan's cosmic overlord.
The single eye of the avatar of the Thousand Moons glanced at the two teams of the Northern Frontier Alliance. The five high-level Venerables, working together and with the help of top-level domain treasures, finally managed to restrain the avatar of the Thousand Moons and thus steal a supreme treasure.
However, now that the battle for the treasure was over and there was no life-or-death feud, the clone of the Thousand Jade Dragon flew away.
Of the 10081 original stars, only three thousand remain to be searched, so I couldn't be bothered with them.
Over the years, the three avatars have spent nearly 300,000 years searching for more than 7,000 primordial stars. The earliest avatar to enter a primordial star to search for treasures has been searching for more than 310,000 years. Even the Nine Nether avatar, after expanding to its limit, began to fully comprehend the laws of time and attempted to merge the three into one, and 130,000 years have passed.
The three avatars rarely fight with other powerful figures for treasures on the original star anymore; they spend most of their time preparing to step into the Venerable realm.
Seventeen thousand years later, the last Netherworld Sword Seal was born on the Primordial Star No. 05764. From then on, all the Netherworld Palace tokens were born!
A year later, the Giant Axe Founder entered the Netherworld Palace with the token, followed by the other powerful individuals possessing the Netherworld Sword Seal. According to the observations of the powerful individuals stationed on that primordial star, among the twenty-four powerful individuals, seventeen were Universe Lords of various races, two were the strongest in their respective universes—the Giant Axe Founder and the Primordial Island Lord—and five were top-tier Universe Overlords possessing the combat power of Universe Lords, with life gene multipliers of eight to nine thousand times.
A century later, the Netherworld Palace reopened. The Lord of the Primordial Island left the Primordial Star with a gloomy expression, while the Giant Axe Founder left with a beaming smile, together with the Lord of Chaos City who was guarding the place.
Intelligence later revealed that of the five top-tier cosmic overlords who entered the Netherworld Palace, three had perished, along with four of the seventeen cosmic lords who entered with them. One of them was a pillar of a powerful clan. This powerful clan only had three cosmic lords in total, and neither their individual strength nor their clan strength was particularly strong. Now, one of their pillars had fallen.
Because of a Netherworld Mirror, four universe lords and three top universe overlords perished!
When Ye Muxuan heard this news, he was still searching for treasures on the original star and was stunned for a long time.
More detailed information came from his teacher, Palace Master Bai Feng. In addition to the Netherworld Mirror, a top-grade treasure of the soul type, there are three other top-tier treasures in the Netherworld Palace, including a palace treasure, eleven high-grade treasures, and thirty-six ordinary treasures.
The creator of these treasures, the Giant Axe, obtained the Netherworld Mirror and a top-tier treasure, as well as three ordinary treasures. The Lord of the Primordial Island obtained the top-tier palace treasure and five high-level treasures—these treasures were almost useless to a lone strongest being in the universe. The remaining top-tier treasure and some high-level and ordinary treasures were taken by the lords of the universe.
This time, humanity emerged as the biggest winner.
Although the giant axe did not seize the top-tier palace treasure from the Netherworld Palace, according to the previous agreement, Ye Muxuan could choose any one of the top-tier palace treasures in the clan's treasury.
This was somewhat unexpected for him.
Normally, even if someone promises to give him a top-tier palace treasure, he wouldn't be allowed to choose it; he would be given something similar. Ye Muxuan was prepared for this. He knew that even among top-tier treasures, the quality difference was enormous, and the closer they were to the ultimate treasure, the greater the gap became.
Ordinary top-tier palace treasures may only cost around two thousand treasure points, but those top-quality palace treasures may cost three thousand or even four thousand. The difference between them is roughly equivalent to two items!
Of course, the clan also has conditions: before Ye Muxuan enters the Venerable realm, this top-tier palace treasure is not allowed to leave Chaos City.
After all, the treasures of top-tier palaces are extremely precious. Even the strongest beings in the universe cannot break through them when they are hidden inside. Of course, it is a different story if they are suppressed by the pinnacle treasures of the sealing type. Not to mention top universe overlords, even some long-established universe lords do not have such treasures! Or rather, the entire wealth of some powerful races' universe lords is only this much.
With the strength of his clone, reaching the Venerable level would be equivalent to a Universe Lord, barely enough to use a top-tier palace treasure. However, he is currently only an Immortal, which is the strength of an ordinary Universe Overlord. If he were to reveal a top-tier palace treasure, there would definitely be Universe Lords or even the strongest beings in the universe secretly watching him!
Ye Muxuan, who was comprehending the laws in Chaos City, was still focused on his studies and did not choose any palace treasures. He had not even given a lecture for tens of thousands of years.
At a certain moment, the avatar of the Divine Realm, which was flying on the Primordial Star, was moved. The Nine Netherworld Avatar, which was sitting cross-legged in the Treasure Palace in the Divine Realm, suddenly opened its eyes and looked at a complete secret diagram drawn by blue divine power in front of it. Then, it looked up at the void in the spatial interlayer.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, I have cultivated for 510,000 years. Today, the complete Law of Time has been achieved…
