Crimson Gold King Armor

He chose the Outer Domain Battlefield for a simple reason.

First, he was somewhat familiar with the Outer Domain Battlefield.

In the Virtual Universe, he had consulted a great deal of information concerning the Outer Domain Battlefield and understood its rules, environment, and distribution of forces.

He would not need to spend an extremely long time feeling his way around.

Second, the Outer Domain Battlefield imposed strict limits on the levels of powerful beings.

Powerful beings who surpassed Immortals and reached the Venerable Level were not permitted to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield.

That way, he would not encounter enemies beyond his ability to handle, nor would he perish for no reason.

Universe Secret Realms were different.

They were filled with unknowns. With bad luck, it was entirely possible for a Universe Lord to emerge and hunt him down.

The Chaos City Lord nodded.

"Good. Since you have made your decision, I will no longer interfere."

He paused, then raised a hand and waved. A golden light emerged from the void and descended before Qian Yu.

It was a suit of armor.

Its entire body was dark gold, its surface flowing with intricate secret patterns and faintly radiating a heart-palpitating pressure.

The pressure was so powerful that even with Qian Yu's current strength, he felt suffocated.

"This treasure is called the Crimson Gold King Armor. Within the universe, it is considered a supreme treasure."

The Chaos City Lord spoke slowly.

"With this treasure, you should face no true threat to your life on the Outer Domain Battlefield. However..."

He paused, his gaze turning solemn.

"There may still be exceptional circumstances. If you encounter an incredibly unlikely situation, then even if you must self-destruct, never allow yourself to be Soul Enslaved."

The Chaos City Lord truly feared that Qian Yu would perish for no apparent reason. Ever since taking Qian Yu as his disciple, he had come to understand what a peerless genius truly was.

His cultivation speed was astonishing. In merely a thousand years, he had reached a level countless people could not attain even after hundreds of millions of years.

With a Gene Level 300 times greater than normal, along with law comprehension that had already reached King Level, Qian Yu's true strength was absolutely no weaker than that of a King Level expert.

A Realm Lord comparable to a King Level expert, yet he had cultivated for only a little over a thousand years.

Moreover, Qian Yu possessed that terrifying Wild Beast Clone.

So long as he did not perish, the Human Race had an extremely high chance of producing another supreme powerhouse in the future.

That was why the Chaos City Lord directly took out a suit of armor incomparably suited to the Fire-Space Dao and bestowed it upon him.

With Qian Yu's soul will, the possibility of him being Soul Enslaved on the Outer Domain Battlefield while relying on this armor was practically nonexistent.

This way, he no longer needed to worry that Qian Yu would die in an accident.

Qian Yu's heart tightened.

Soul Enslavement.

That was a fate even more terrifying than death. Once Soul Enslaved, one would completely lose oneself and become a puppet like a walking corpse.

More terrifying still, even if a Universe Lord reversed time and space, they could not resurrect someone who had been Soul Enslaved.

He solemnly accepted the armor and bowed.

"This disciple will remember."

The Chaos City Lord looked at the young disciple before him, and a trace of gratification flashed through his eyes.

"I have seen the results of your thousand years of cultivation. Your progress has been swift, and your foundation is solid."

He paused before continuing.

"However, true cultivation has never been completed in a peaceful environment. Actual combat, battles of life and death, are what truly make you grow."

"This is my token."

The Chaos City Lord flipped his hand over, and a golden token appeared in his palm. It bore faint carvings that vaguely depicted a city.

Qian Yu respectfully accepted it.

"If you encounter danger and cannot withstand it, destroy this token immediately. Its material is very brittle; it is C9-grade Alloy, and with your ability, you can crush it easily. Once you crush it, the spiritual imprint I left upon it will alert me at once, and I will arrive in the shortest possible time."

Qian Yu nodded.

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Of course, I also do not wish to see you forced to use this token. I hope you can become a peerless powerhouse through your own strength, someone those alien races cannot shake."

Qian Yu nodded again.

"Go. The Outer Domain Battlefield is your true stage."

Qian Yu raised his head, blazing battle intent burning in his eyes.

"Just wait, Teacher. Before long, the entire Primordial Universe will remember my name."

The Chaos City Lord smiled.

That smile was filled with anticipation.

Qian Yu turned around and strode out of the Chaos Ruins.

Behind him, that towering figure watched his departing back for a long time without looking away.

Outer Domain Battlefield.

I'm here.

Qian Yu applied to leave the Initial Universe, then shot directly into the sky and flew above Chaos City. A massive shuttle-shaped universe ship was parked there.

"Your Highness Qian Yu, we are ready."

A Golden-Haired Immortal stood at the hatch.

Qian Yu nodded and entered, turning back to look down one last time at the place where he had lived for over a thousand years.

He turned away and did not linger.

"Set off."

The hatch closed. With a thunderous roar, the universe ship activated and flew straight out of the Initial Universe.

He had already purchased everything needed for the journey to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Now, he also possessed the armor-type supreme treasure bestowed by the Chaos City Lord.

For this journey to the Outer Domain Battlefield, he had absolute confidence.

His fame throughout the Primordial Universe would begin with the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Qian Yu's consciousness sank into the Dao Tree Space.

The moment he looked up, he saw the enormous Primordial Dao Tree that pierced through heaven and earth.

The Primordial Dao Tree was now far larger than it had been a thousand years ago.

It stood more than six hundred million kilometers tall, while its spreading, drooping canopy extended over a billion kilometers. It stretched across the void like an independent world.

Light flowed across the trunk, more dazzling than it had been a thousand years ago.

Those profound patterns seemed to have come alive, with traces of the aura of laws flowing from them.

The canopy overlapped in countless layers. Every leaf glowed faintly, and innumerable points of light danced among them like hundreds of millions of gathered stars.

Over the past thousand years, the Primordial Dao Tree had not produced a second flower.

It seemed to have devoted all its energy to its own growth.

However, as the Primordial Dao Tree grew stronger, Qian Yu could clearly sense that his connection with it had deepened, and the portion he could control had grown greater and greater.

In the past, he could only slightly interfere with the Primordial Dao Tree's instinctive operation.

Now, he could already tentatively draw upon its power. Although he still could not fully control it, this was already a qualitative leap.

However, he still could not actively make the Primordial Dao Tree bear Fruit.

Qian Yu vaguely came to an understanding. The reason the Primordial Dao Tree had borne Fruit first before was likely because he had been too weak at the time.

That Fruit had been the Primordial Dao Tree's way of helping him, allowing him to survive in this cruel universe.

But now, he had grown stronger.

The Primordial Dao Tree could finally devote its energy to its own growth.

Still, Qian Yu could sense that when the Primordial Dao Tree next produced flowers and Fruit, they would likely be far beyond the previous time.

"I really am looking forward to it..."

He murmured softly, a trace of anticipation flashing through his eyes.

But that was a matter for later.

His consciousness withdrew from the Dao Tree Space, and Qian Yu returned to reality.
