Chapter 118 The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace
The Xuanmu Blade sliced through layers of space, emitting a faint, blood-red glow.
Seeing that he was no match for the enemy, King Tihu cried out for help to his master, Nan Cheng.
hum!
A Zerg hive flew out, blocking the attack of the Xuanmu Blade.
"King of the Mysterious Tomb, why are you so irritable?"
A soft, gentle voice rang out, and the Zerg hive shrank rapidly, held in Nan Cheng's hands.
The Zerg Queen, Nan Cheng, has delicate and beautiful features. She is about 12 meters tall, wears a light gauze dress, and has a pair of transparent wings on her back. She has a shapely figure.
"Is this the Zerg Immortal Queen, Nancheng?"
"I'd only ever heard of her fierce reputation before, I never imagined she'd be so delicate, beautiful, and pitiful. You really can't judge a book by its cover!"
Several immortal kings secretly muttered to themselves.
Seeing that Nan Cheng had made a move, Xuanmu King snorted coldly and put away his Xuanmu Blade.
All eyes turned to Qi Yuan, who glared back fearlessly, stood with his sword drawn at the doorway, and shouted, "This road is blocked!"
For a moment, everyone stopped in their tracks.
No one is a fool. Since neither the Xuanmu King nor the Talong King chose to make a move, it is obvious that they cannot defeat him or that they have some concerns.
Nan Cheng looked at Xuanmu King, his tone mocking: "You two were just scheming against us, keeping everyone at bay. Now that we've arrived, why aren't you making a move? Could it be that the two of you working together can't take him down?"
"If you're so capable, why don't you go and try it yourself?" King Xuanmu said irritably.
"This human king possesses strength commensurate with his status, and even if he has powerful treasures and star marrow, he is still qualified to possess them."
Talong said in a low voice.
He looked at Qi Yuan and asked, "Human king-level powerhouse, could you please leave your name?"
"origin."
Qi Yuan uttered two universally understood syllables.
"Origin King, I'll remember you." With that, he stepped back to the side.
King Talong's words caused a huge uproar among the hundreds of powerful kings present.
"The Tower Dragon King has acknowledged the human's strength to become a king."
"King of Origins————"
"It seems that the human withstood the attack of the Invincible King, which means his strength is at least close to that of the Invincible King!"
"He acknowledges the strength of the Origin King and recognizes that the Origin King is qualified to possess such a powerful treasure."
"What a pity, it seems we won't get to see the Tower Dragon King and the Origin King clash."
"Clearly, they had already been fighting before we arrived. This battle—it should be Origin King proving his strength. Neither Tower Dragon King nor Tomb King could do anything to him!"
"I wonder if the Zerg Immortal Queen, Nan Cheng, will still make a move?"
"The other invincible kings are about the same strength as the Tower Dragon King, so it doesn't matter whether they make a move or not. Only Nan Cheng is good at illusions, so he might be able to have a surprising effect."
"Do you think these invincible kings might join forces?"
"Probably not. If they were to join forces, the human faction's powerhouses wouldn't be pushovers. If it were just an ordinary King-level Immortal, that would be one thing, but the Origin King possesses the strength of an invincible King-level expert, so his status and background among humans are probably quite significant. The human faction's King-level powerhouses wouldn't stand idly by."
The assembled immortal kings discussed amongst themselves, all marveling at how such was the world of the strong.
Only the strong deserve to possess great treasures. Even if the weak are lucky enough to obtain them, they must use them with utmost care, lest other strong individuals find out.
Once exposed, they will be besieged!
Which of the invincible kings like the King of Destiny and the Dragon King of the Tower didn't possess one or more powerful treasures?
For example, the invincible human king Anju not only possesses a set of powerful treasures, but also several other powerful treasures.
The same applies to the Mysterious Tomb King and the Fallen King.
On the battlefields beyond the borders, everyone knows they possess great treasures, yet no one has ever heard of anyone attempting to seize them!
That's real strength!
This battle left the Tower Dragon King and the Mysterious Tomb King completely convinced of its power. In particular, his abnormal defense and almost undamaged divine body caused the two alien kings a great deal of trouble, leaving a deep impression on them.
Nan Cheng had already guessed that the Tower Dragon King, the Mysterious Tomb King, and this human who had been granted the title of Immortal had fought each other and that they probably hadn't gained any advantage.
"Young man, please let me in. What's the point of fighting and killing? Let's sit down and talk things over."
Nan Cheng looked at him with a smile, her tone gentle and pitiful, her voice containing endless allure.
boom!
Her immortal divine power burned, and her self-created "Thousand Hearts" soul illusion technique attacked, its powerful illusionary force penetrating his sea of consciousness.
"snort!"
Qi Yuan didn't even use the Nine Grains, the supreme treasure that guards the soul. He simply condensed his soul's will into a crystal, and with a counter-shock, he broke her illusion.
"Amazing! Not only did they withstand the Tower Dragon King and the Mysterious Tomb King, they even passed the Southern Punishment test."
"Not only that, he also proactively countered Nan Cheng's illusion technique. Nan Cheng's 'Thousand Hearts' illusion technique is feared throughout the outer battlefields. Even fellow invincible kings are wary of her. This shows how powerful the Origin King's will is!"
"Yes, he's almost flawless in every aspect. I don't know where he came from, he just suddenly rose to prominence!"
"Shouldn't only one of humanity's five top powers be able to cultivate such talent?"
"Look! Nan Cheng is discussing something with King Mingyun and several other invincible alien kings. Could they be planning to join forces to attack King Origin?"
"Go, stand with the Origin King! We cannot allow our invincible human kingship to be besieged!"
"Very well, with King Anju's call, anyone who dares to disobey is a traitor to humanity!"
The immortal kings of the human camp secretly discussed the matter, and then, led by the invincible human king "King Anju", they all sided with Qi Yuan.
"Nan Cheng, if it's one-on-one, I have nothing to say. But if you intend to gang up on me, ask the knife in my hand if it will allow it!"
King Anju rebuked Nan Cheng and other foreign kings who were invincible.
He turned to look at Qi Yuan, "King Origin, rest assured, not only do you have the Immortal Kings of our human race as your backing, but I've also summoned two Invincible Kings from the Hong Alliance!"
"Thank you, King Anju, and thank you everyone."
Qi Yuan expressed his sincere gratitude.
He understood that this was because he had demonstrated the invincible strength to withstand the title of King, which earned him everyone's respect.
He planned to transfer a sum of military merit points to each of them later.
On the battlefield outside the territory, killing a high-ranking marquis will earn you 1000 billion military merits;
Killing a low-ranking king grants 10 trillion military merits.
Killing a peak-level King grants 1000 trillion military merits.
In short, on battlefields outside the region, the stronger you are, the easier it is to gain military merits.
Qi Yuan's body, adorned with celestial feathers, had already slaughtered several immortal kings.
Upon arriving at the first battlefield, the human clone encountered two kings at the limit of their power, Yao Lei Wang and Xia Shi Ka. Their deaths allowed Qi Yuan to leave the main force, thus accumulating a huge amount of military merit points, enough to exchange for most of the cultivation resources.
Seeing that the human camp had an invincible king like King Anju stepping forward, the invincible kings on the alien side no longer had the idea of joining forces.
Because the invincible king is very difficult to kill, and the opponent has a strong opponent of the same level to restrain him, this battle is destined to be fruitless and futile.
"I acknowledge that the Origin King is qualified to possess such a treasure."
Through the probing exchange just now, Nan Cheng realized that his opponent's will was extremely strong, and he was no match for him.
If the battle continues, the situation might not be as good as it was with King Talong and his group back then.
So she wisely chose to stop, and instead encouraged the Fallen King, saying, "We've already fought against the Demon Clan and our Invincible King of the Insect Clan, don't you want to give it a try, Fallen King?"
The King of Destiny snorted coldly, ignoring her. Lines of data flowed continuously in his red electronic eyes, constantly analyzing the strength of everyone present.
"King of Origin, you have silenced the invincible king of the alien race. Impressive, impressive."
The various immortal kings from the human camp congratulated him.
They understood that the human camp had gained another powerful figure of extraordinary status.
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to the help of my brothers from all the human races, especially King Anju, that their ambitions were thwarted!"
Qi Yuan humbly exchanged pleasantries with them outside the Evolution Tower.
Seeing that they could do nothing against Qi Yuan, the alien kings and immortals all left.
After this battle, the name of the Origin King spread throughout the battlefields beyond the realm, and his fame has been praised for billions of years.
"The Origin King can not only withstand the divine power attacks of the two invincible kings, the Tower Dragon King and the Tomb King, but also easily resist the illusion attacks of the Zerg Immortal Queen Nan Cheng, which means that he has almost no weaknesses."
"A soulless Immortal King might escape from Nan Cheng's grasp, but against the Origin King, there's no escape!"
This news spread among the foreign tribes.
The other alien races left one after another, but the King of Youquan came over, chatted with Qi Yuan for a few words, and then exchanged contact information with him.
He said he wanted to exchange an item with Qi Yuan, but neither of them had any free time right now, so they agreed to contact each other later.
Qi Yuan gazed thoughtfully at the departing figure of King Youquan.
"King Origin, what's wrong? Did that King of the Nether Spring make some unreasonable request?" King Anju asked him curiously.
Qi Yuan shook his head and asked him about the King of Youquan.
King Anju was an ancient and invincible king, and he knew a great deal of information.
According to him, this Nether Spring King is a special being from the mysterious Ancestral God Cult, belonging to the Ancestral Mystic Realm.
When King Youquan first appeared on the battlefield outside the realm, he was known for his madness.
Because he doesn't usually carry any precious treasures with him, he fights for his life when he's in battle with the enemy, and he's prone to self-destruction.
After his self-destruction, he will immediately reappear on the extraterritorial battlefield.
Therefore, people speculate that he has a very large clone that can replenish his divine power and create clones at any time.
Now, after years of adventures, the King of the Netherworld has become even more troublesome. His moves are all developed at the cost of the annihilation of his divine body, making them more powerful than simple self-destruction.
After a while, Anju and the other immortal kings from the human camp also took their leave.
Far beyond the secret realm, the cosmic venerables of the four peak races who were stationed on the extraterrestrial battlefield all withdrew their gazes.
"Hehe, it seems this treasure has been claimed by the strongest members of our human camp. Do you agree?" The human Universe Venerable looked smugly at the other three Universe Venerables.
"Hmph, it's just a mere bit of Star Essence. We wouldn't break our word."
"Congratulations to your human race on having another new king-level powerhouse. But you'd better hide well, lest you perish unexpectedly!"
The three alien cosmic venerables cursed a few times in displeasure.
"Hmph, don't worry about me. If you're so capable, come and see who has the stronger methods!" The human universe venerable showed no weakness.
With the dust settled, the three alien cosmic venerables teleported away.
The secret realm returned to calm. Qi Yuan sat cross-legged at the entrance, comprehending the laws and waiting for the evolution of Tu Yu Body and Holy Light Feather.
The energy of the Star Marrow was continuously dissolved by the Evolution Tower, transforming into secret runes that seeped into their bodies.
Tu Yu continued to place more and more Star Essence onto the countless star patterns inside the Evolution Tower.
The more Star Essence was used, the more dazzling the interwoven rays of energy became.
The pain and tingling caused by that strange energy penetrated even deeper into my bones, gradually reaching the limit of the King level, just a hair's breadth away from reaching the Venerable level.
Qi Yuan glanced at Sheng Guangyu and saw that her body was covered with countless beads of blood, indicating that she had reached the limit of her willpower.
He then stopped and continued to evolve while maintaining this energy concentration.
Buzz!
A beam of emerald light shone on them, instantly filling them with a vibrant energy that swept away the fatigue from the evolution process.
The force was gentle and warm, propelling their bodies to rapidly transform into astral bodies, causing their gene counts to multiply even faster.
Qi Yuan rushed into the Evolution Tower and saw a human man about 1.8 meters tall standing in the void.
He had black eyes and black hair, and his appearance was similar to that of Qi Yuan, a typical human in the universe, very handsome and elegant.
Qi Yuan sensed his unfathomable aura, which seemed to far surpass that of his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.
He tentatively asked, "Are you the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace?"
The other person smiled and nodded.
"Actually, I've been here for quite some time, but the alien cosmic venerable was spying outside just now, so I couldn't show myself to avoid attracting more alien powerhouses and making things get out of control."
The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace offered a brief explanation.
If he doesn't show himself, this place won't be valued by the alien races, and they can move the entire secret realm away without anyone noticing.
"We humans also studied the Star Marrow for a long time. I will lend you a hand and help you accelerate your evolutionary process."
As he spoke, the green light in his hand, along with the potion, merged into the unique energy of the Star Essence.
Qi Yuan and his group's absorption speed increased again.
Through repeated trials and tribulations that pushed his will to its limits, Holy Light Feather finally broke through to the Venerable level.
However, this is not surprising.
She had cultivated for millions of years, and at the Realm Lord level, her understanding of laws and her soul will were already extremely powerful.
For such a genius, when his strength reaches the limit of the King level, breaking through to the Venerable level in willpower is just a natural progression.
Qi Yuan poured in more Star Essence, making the entire evolution process even more intense.
Soon after, Tu Yu gradually approached the 600-fold genetic level!
The gene multiplication factor of Holy Light Feather is also close to the cosmic limit of 100 times.
Buzz!
Their bodies were taking the final step towards becoming astral bodies, turning transparent and radiating brilliant light.
