Challenge

Although Wind Jade Gold is precious, comparable to the entire net worth of an ordinary Immortal Deity, Ye Muxuan is not without such assets! In the World Ring of that Sky Wolf Race World Lord, which he had yet to process, there were spoils of war totaling nearly 3 million Hunyuan Units! Among them were several pieces of weapon-crafting materials equal in value to the Wind Jade Gold, likely collected by that Sky Wolf Race World Lord to forge his own weapons!

Furthermore, he had collected several pieces of material worth tens to hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan Units himself, intended for forging weapons and armor in the future. Although it was not yet enough to forge a complete battle blade, the total value was already close to a million. There was even a treasure that would make those powerhouses who achieved immortality through the Origin Law of Earth covetous: "Star Gravel Sand," with a staggering value of 800,000 Hunyuan Units!

To say that Wind Jade Gold worth 300,000 Hunyuan Units is valuable is certainly true, but it hasn't reached a level that would make him lose his mind!

"Then let's have another match! Is the eighth level of the Extreme Wind Secret Canon enough to qualify for a fight with you?" Li Zheng's gaze was like a blade—sharp, keen, and bloodthirsty!

As soon as these words were spoken, the dozens of World Lords and over a dozen Immortal Deities present, including Thunderbolt Spear Zhendan and Rain Sword Kong Yan, were all stunned!

The Extreme Wind Secret Canon is a Marquis Level combat secret technique that uses the Origin Law of Wind as an entry point! It has nine levels in total, and the eighth level is a secret technique at the threshold of the Immortal level! The ninth level is a secret technique that barely reaches the Marquis level! Normally, being able to cultivate to the seventh level is already the limit for a World Lord!

"If you have cultivated the Extreme Wind Secret Canon to the eighth level, you are indeed qualified to challenge me." Ye Muxuan nodded, and Zhendan, standing beside him, also acknowledged it. He specialized in a combat secret technique of the same level as the Extreme Wind Secret Canon, so he naturally understood how difficult it was to successfully cultivate a combat secret technique at the Immortal Deity level!

This meant that Li Zheng's comprehension of the laws had already stepped into the Immortal level!

Although he had reached the ninth level thousands of years ago and was now walking his own path, how else could he have killed an Alien Race Immortal head-on, even if it was only the weakest Military Lord Immortal?

The gap between a World Lord and an Immortal is something those who haven't reached their level simply cannot fathom! Only the two of them, who had actually killed one, knew how much of that victory was due to luck rather than just strength!

"However, just the eighth level is still not enough for you to beat me." Ye Muxuan looked at him with deep, dark eyes and spoke calmly. He reached out, and in his palm appeared a piece of metal with a strange luster, like amber. It was one of the spoils from that Sky Wolf Race World Lord, and it looked slightly larger than the Wind Jade Gold. "I respect your dignity as a Fighter in issuing this challenge, but I won't take advantage of you. This Purple Spirit Jade would fetch at least 300,000 Hunyuan Units at an auction. If you win, it's yours."

"Even though I still believe you won't win."

The item Ye Muxuan brought out made those World Lords very envious, and even those Immortal Deities had looks of surprise in their eyes!

Are World Lords this wealthy nowadays? They casually bring out treasures comparable to the entire net worth of an ordinary Immortal Deity!

"Fine! I have already applied for a decisive battle space in the Virtual Universe Slaughter Arena. Let's go in and fight!" Li Zheng spoke, his eyes sharp and piercing like blades!

"Very well." Ye Muxuan nodded, easily splitting off a wisp of consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe and teleporting to the decisive battle space Li Zheng had requested!

For a World Lord, splitting off a wisp of consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe has basically no impact on reality; it is very easy.

After all, they were only fighting in the Virtual Universe, not a life-and-death battle in the real world.

"You don't mind if I go watch, do you?" Thunderbolt Spear Zhendan, who was standing to the side, spoke in a muffled voice that sounded like thunder.

Li Zheng scanned his surroundings and finally fixed his gaze on Ye Muxuan, leaving the decision to him.

Since he was the one who initiated the challenge against Ye Muxuan, he naturally had to respect Ye Muxuan's opinion. If Ye Muxuan minded, he certainly couldn't make the battle public!

"It's fine." Ye Muxuan nodded. "The ID of the decisive battle space is 500667346736. Anyone interested is welcome to come and watch!"

Hearing Ye Muxuan's permission, the eyes of the many World Lords and Immortals present lit up!

Wind Blade Muxuan was one of the strongest World Lords who had once killed an Alien Race Immortal Deity head-on! Now, among all the World Lords on the entire Outer Battlefield, he stood at the very pinnacle; the only ones who could be stronger than him were the core members of the Five Great Powers! If such a figure remained trapped as a World Lord, so be it, but if he were to break through the cage one day and achieve immortality, it was highly likely he would directly become a Marquis, or even a high-level Marquis!

And even for this Blade Maniac Li Zheng, who had escaped from an Alien Race Immortal Deity a thousand years ago and could now cultivate the eighth level of the Extreme Wind Secret Canon, he was a one-in-a-million existence among World Lords!

A battle between two such World Lords was definitely worth looking forward to, especially for those of them who were also powerhouses at the World Lord level!

In the Virtual Universe, in the decisive battle space with ID 500667346736, two figures stood in the air on a massive arena!

On the left was a man in azure battle armor with a silver horn shaped like a curved blade on his forehead; this was the mark of a Blade Race member who had reached the World Lord level!

On the right was a man in black battle armor with three vertical lines intertwined like an eye on his forehead. He was slightly taller, about two meters, and his dark eyes were deep and bottomless.

"Draw your blade!" Ye Muxuan, clad in black armor, looked at the Blade Race man in azure armor and spoke in a calm voice. "If I strike first, you won't have a chance!"

"Fine!" The Blade Race man, Blade Maniac Li Zheng, let out a roar. His long, curved blades spun, and layers of bright, snowy blade light surged like waves, each strike sharper than the last!

The weapon he used was a Grade 5 Force Weapon, the Extreme Shadow Blade. Compared to the Wind Shadow Blade in Ye Muxuan's hand, it prioritized speed—ultimate speed—and since he had long been acknowledged by the Origin Law of Wind, his speed was even more astonishing!

Ye Muxuan watched all of this, a long, bright blade appearing in his hand.

A Grade 5 Force Weapon, the Wind Shadow Blade!

The Extreme Shadow Blade had a greater curvature and favored speed, while the Wind Shadow Blade was straight and long, favoring power!

The Extreme Wind Secret Canon was a combat secret technique that could barely be considered Marquis Level. Each level contained dozens of sets of blade techniques, and learning these helped in comprehending the secret technique's combat essence. However, what Li Zheng was displaying now did not belong to any of them!

Born from the Extreme Wind Secret Canon, he had begun to try and walk his own path! The blade technique he was displaying was absolutely no less than the techniques of the eighth level of the canon itself!

But so what?

He had taken this step ten thousand years ago! Otherwise, how could he have killed an Alien Race Immortal Deity head-on? In the ten thousand years since, he had long since pushed his self-created first secret technique to a level near that of a Marquis, which in itself was close to the ninth level of the Extreme Wind Secret Canon! Even now, three years later, thanks to a massive increase in the clarity of his law comprehension, he had not only officially pushed his self-created first secret technique to the Marquis level during his three-plus years of interstellar travel, but he had also created a second one! It had reached the level of a peak Marquis secret technique!
