Crimson Gold King Armor

He chose the Outer Domain Battlefield for a very simple reason.

First, he had a certain familiarity with the Outer Domain Battlefield.

In the Virtual Universe, he had consulted a vast amount of information about the Outer Domain Battlefield, gaining an understanding of its rules, environment, and distribution of forces.

This meant he wouldn't need to spend an extremely long time fumbling around.

Second, the Outer Domain Battlefield had strict restrictions on the level of power allowed.

Powerhouses who surpassed the Immortal level and reached the Venerable Level were not permitted to enter the Outer Domain Battlefield.

This way, he wouldn't encounter enemies beyond his ability to handle, nor would he inexplicably fall.

The Cosmic Secret Realms were different.

They were filled with unknowns. If luck turned bad, it wasn't impossible for a Cosmic Lord to come hunting him down.

Chaos City Lord nodded.

"Good. Since you've made your decision, I won't interfere."

He paused, raised a hand, and waved. A beam of golden light materialized from the void, landing before Qian Yu.

It was a suit of armor.

Its entire body was a dark gold, its surface flowing with complex secret patterns, faintly radiating a soul-shaking pressure.

That pressure was so intense that even Qian Yu, with his current strength, felt a stifling sensation.

"This treasure is called the Crimson Gold King Armor. In the universe, it ranks among the class of supreme treasures."

Chaos City Lord spoke slowly.

"With this treasure, you should face no true life-threatening danger in the Outer Domain Battlefield. However..."

He paused, his gaze turning grave.

"There are exceptions. If you encounter an extremely unlikely situation, even if you have to self-destruct, never allow yourself to be soul-enslaved."

Chaos City Lord was truly afraid that Qian Yu would fall inexplicably. Since taking Qian Yu as his disciple, he had come to understand what a peerless genius truly was.

His cultivation speed was astonishingly fast. In a mere thousand years, he had reached a level that countless beings couldn't achieve in billions of years.

With a 300-fold Gene Level, plus his current comprehension of the laws at the Sealed King level, Qian Yu's true strength was absolutely no less than that of a Sealed King.

A Realm Lord matching a Sealed King, with a cultivation time of only a little over a thousand years.

And on top of that, Qian Yu had his terrifying Wild Beast Clone.

As long as he didn't fall, the possibility of humanity gaining a super powerhouse in the future was extremely high.

So Chaos City Lord directly bestowed upon him a suit of armor perfectly suited to the path of Fire and Space.

With Qian Yu's soul will, relying on this armor, the possibility of being soul-enslaved in the Outer Domain Battlefield was nearly zero.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about Qian Yu accidentally falling.

Qian Yu's heart tightened.

Soul enslavement.

That was a fate worse than death. Once soul-enslaved, one would completely lose oneself, becoming a mindless puppet like a walking corpse.

Even more terrifying was that even a Cosmic Lord reversing time and space could not revive someone who had been soul-enslaved.

He solemnly took the armor and bowed.

"Disciple will remember."

Chaos City Lord looked at this young disciple before him, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"I have seen the fruits of your thousand years of cultivation. Your progress is very fast, and your foundation is solidly laid."

He paused, then continued.

"However, true cultivation is never completed in a peaceful environment. Real combat, life-and-death battles—these are what truly make you grow."

"This is my token."

Chaos City Lord turned his hand over, and a golden token appeared in his palm. On the token was a faint engraving, vaguely depicting a city.

Qian Yu respectfully accepted it.

"If you encounter danger you cannot withstand, destroy this token immediately. The token's material is very fragile—C9-grade Alloy. With your ability, you can easily crush it. Once you crush it, my spiritual imprint is on it. I, your teacher, will know instantly and will arrive in the shortest possible time."

Qian Yu nodded.

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Of course, I also hope you won't be forced to use this token. I hope you can rely on your own strength to become a supreme powerhouse, one that those alien races cannot shake."

Qian Yu nodded again.

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

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

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

Chaos City Lord smiled.

That smile was filled with anticipation.

Qian Yu turned and strode out of the Chaos Ruins.

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

The Outer Domain Battlefield.

I'm here.

Qian Yu applied to leave the Initial Universe. He shot straight up into the sky, flying toward the space above Chaos City. There, a massive spindle-shaped cosmic ship was docked.

"Your Highness Qian Yu, we are fully prepared."

Standing at the hatch was a Golden-Haired Immortal.

Qian Yu nodded, stepped inside, and turned back to glance down at the place where he had lived for over a thousand years.

He turned his head. No more lingering.

"Set off."

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

He had already purchased everything needed for the trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield long before.

Now, he even had the armor-type treasure bestowed by Chaos City Lord.

This journey to the Outer Domain Battlefield was one he was absolutely certain of.

Making his name shake the Primordial Universe—let it start from the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Qian Yu sank his consciousness into the Dao Tree Space.

As he looked up, he saw the colossal Primordial Dao Tree that pierced heaven and earth.

Qian Yu sank his consciousness into the Dao Tree Space.

As he looked up, he saw the colossal Primordial Dao Tree that pierced heaven and earth.

Now, the Primordial Dao Tree's size had grown far beyond what it was a thousand years ago.

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

Light and radiance flowed along its trunk, far more dazzling than a millennium ago.

Those profound patterns seemed to come alive, with faint traces of law energy seeping from them.

The canopy layered upon itself, every leaf shimmering with a faint glow. Countless specks of light danced within, like billions of stars gathered together.

In a thousand years, the Primordial Dao Tree had not nurtured a second flower.

It seemed to have poured all its energy into its own growth.

But as the Primordial Dao Tree grew stronger, Qian Yu could clearly sense that his connection to it had deepened, and the parts he could control had increased.

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

Now, he could tentatively mobilize its power. Though he still couldn't fully command it, this was already a qualitative leap.

Still, he remained unable to actively make the Primordial Dao Tree nurture a Fruit.

A faint understanding dawned in Qian Yu's heart. The reason the Primordial Dao Tree had produced a Fruit first back then was likely because his strength had been too weak at the time.

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

Now, he had grown.

The Primordial Dao Tree could finally channel its energy into its own development.

But Qian Yu could sense that the next time the Primordial Dao Tree nurtured a flower and Fruit, it would likely be on an entirely different level from before.

"I really can't wait..."

He murmured softly, a glint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

But that was a matter for later.

Withdrawing his consciousness from the Dao Tree Space, Qian Yu returned to reality.
