Chaos City Lord spoke with Zhou Yu for a while longer, asking, for instance, how Zhou Yu had reached the Invincible King-Rank level.
Chaos City Lord was not overly surprised that Zhou Yu had accepted Divine General Kongguang's inheritance and reached the 7,000th level. He simply assumed that the inheritance was exceptionally compatible with Zhou Yu.
But when he learned that Zhou Yu had actually become a Black Warrior, he was genuinely shocked.
"You comprehend the Fire and Space Laws, yet you were able to become a Black Warrior. That is quite unusual," Chaos City Lord said. "Since you can become a Black Warrior, apply for some Beast God Blood. It will further increase your strength."
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded.
Beast God Blood was a treasure refined from Xueluo Crystals. A hundred Xueluo Crystals could be refined into a single drop, and every drop of Beast God Blood fused into one's body was equivalent to perfectly fusing a Xueluo Crystal.
At this point, Zhou Yu possessed strength at ten times the genetic level. On that basis, every drop of Beast God Blood he fused would double his strength.
Seeing that Zhou Yu had not asked about Beast God Blood, Chaos City Lord did not elaborate further. After giving him a few more instructions, he dismissed Zhou Yu.
"Teacher, I'll be going, then." Zhou Yu saluted and withdrew.
Zhou Yu temporarily settled down in Chaos City. Following Chaos City Lord's instructions, he first applied for Beast God Blood. His free quota was fifty drops, and after fusing all fifty drops into his body, his base strength rapidly soared from one million times a peak World Lord's strength to six million times.
Not long afterward, an employee of the Virtual Universe Company delivered a World Ring.
The World Ring contained a strand of Chaos City Lord's divine power, and only Zhou Yu could refine it.
After refining the World Ring, the first thing Zhou Yu saw was 1,008 spike-shaped treasures arranged across a vast plain.
Each spike stood more than a hundred li tall. Rising from the plain like black spires, they formed an immensely spectacular sight.
"The Black God Cone Set." Zhou Yu found a written explanation nearby.
This Black God Cone Set was undoubtedly a treasure set for the controller path. Every Black God Awl was itself a heavy treasure.
With all 1,008 Black God Awls forming a complete set, it could absolutely be called a supreme treasure!
"This treasure..."
With a whoosh, Zhou Yu appeared within the world inside the ring. He reached out and touched one of the enormous Black God Awls, his heart filled with amazement.
Using these Black God Awls to kill enemies, the efficiency would be unimaginably high.
Soon, Zhou Yu found a metal box within the ring world. After opening it, he saw a thumb-length strip of crystal.
The crystal radiated dazzling tricolored light and was incomparably beautiful.
"So this is the Time Thousand-Vein Crystal?" Following the instructions, Zhou Yu carefully fused that piece of crystal into his divine body.
At that instant, a tricolored mark appeared between Zhou Yu's brows, and his perception of the outside world became completely different.
Ever since becoming Immortal, Zhou Yu's senses for Laws other than Space and Fire had been extremely vague.
Becoming a Black Warrior had improved them somewhat before, but the effect had not been too obvious.
This time, fusing the Time Thousand-Vein Crystal finally gave Zhou Yu a decent perception of the Time Law.
"Although it isn't as good as when I was a World Lord, it's still much better. With my three great talents, comprehending the Time Law won't be too difficult." Zhou Yu nodded to himself.
Several days later, Zhou Yu bid farewell to his two teachers in Chaos City and left the Initial Universe.
He passed directly through the Initial Universe passage and arrived at the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.
There, Zhou Yu met Venerable Mofeng.
"Haha, Zhou Yu, I heard you became Chaos City Lord's disciple. That's wonderful news." Venerable Mofeng was a thin old man. By now, Chaos City Lord taking a disciple had become known within a small circle, so Venerable Mofeng had naturally heard of it.
"I was fortunate enough to catch Teacher's eye," Zhou Yu said. Then he added, "And I could not have come this far without Venerable Mofeng's help."
Venerable Mofeng was effectively Zhou Yu's direct Venerable. As for the earlier matter involving the heavy treasure, based on what Fire Dragon King had told him, Venerable Mofeng had likely contributed considerably as well. Zhou Yu naturally remembered that kindness.
"That was because you had the ability." Mo Feng shook his head. "If it were up to me, I would have given you a heavy treasure outright. Enough of that. Come, I'll show you your treasure."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.
Following Venerable Mofeng, he soon entered a private treasure vault.
"You have attained Invincible King-Rank strength on your own, so this time, I selected a flight-type treasure for you." Venerable Mofeng looked ahead. There rested an enormous shuttle-shaped treasure.
"A flying shuttle?" Zhou Yu immediately understood. This was probably a heavy treasure meant to be ridden beneath one's feet.
The reason it was categorized as a flight-type treasure rather than an attack-type treasure was likely related to the secret engravings it contained.
Every heavy treasure and supreme treasure had its own secret technique. Only by activating their innate secret techniques, or incorporating them into one's own secret techniques, could one unleash their greatest power.
Of course, one could also use heavy treasures and supreme treasures to perform one's own secret techniques. It depended on one's choice.
"What do you think? If you aren't satisfied, I can help you exchange it." Venerable Mofeng looked at Zhou Yu.
"This one will do!"
Zhou Yu nodded.
For offense, he had the Black God Cone Set. A flight-type heavy treasure would compensate for his weakness in flight and make him more well-rounded.
It had to be said that Venerable Mofeng had considered everything carefully. His battle against the three King-Sealing members of the Monster Race camp had exposed his weakness: his speed was not fast enough!
Otherwise, he would not have needed to worry that one of the three might escape, nor would he have needed to feign weakness at the start.
Zhou Yu accepted the flight-type heavy treasure, the Universe Shuttle, thanked Venerable Mofeng, and left the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.
Rather than immediately studying the secret technique on the stone tablet Chaos City Lord had given him, he headed once more for the Outer Battlefield.
Now that Zhou Yu's strength had greatly increased, he naturally intended to slaughter to his heart's content.
This time, Zhou Yu did not return to the Dark Continent. After killing Black Fierce King and the other two there last time, he had surely frightened the King-Sealings of the Dark Continent. If he went back now, the chances of gaining much would be low.
Thus, Zhou Yu headed directly to another core dangerous region of the 11th Outer Battlefield: Heavenly Dragon Abyss.
There, Zhou Yu easily killed several Peak-Level King-Ranks and Limit-Level King-Ranks with the Black God Awls. His killing efficiency was far higher than before.
Afterward, Zhou Yu traveled to other dangerous regions and even other battlefields, constantly searching for prey and constantly killing.
Such frenzied slaughter naturally drew attention at once.
"Damn Human Race scum! He has already reached Invincible King-Rank, yet he is still massacring people in the Outer Battlefield. Despicable and shameless!"
"He must be made to pay the price."
"..."
The powerhouses of the other camps naturally could not sit still. One after another, they sought out Invincible King-Rank experts from their own camps to settle the score with Zhou Yu.
During this period, the greatest number of King-Sealings slain by Zhou Yu came from the Monster Race camp. Therefore, the Monster Race's Invincible King-Ranks were the first to react.
Very quickly, a long-famous Monster Race expert, Black Feather King, publicly challenged Zhou Yu to a duel. If Zhou Yu dared hide and refuse the challenge, Black Feather King would remain in the Outer Battlefield for hundreds of millions of years, continuously slaughtering King-Sealings of the Human Race camp until the number he killed equaled the number of Monster Race King-Sealings Zhou Yu had slain.
This thoroughly put Zhou Yu over a barrel.
Of course, if Zhou Yu were shameless enough, he could choose not to accept the challenge.
But after considering it, Zhou Yu still went to the Hong Alliance and publicly announced that he would accept.
"In one hundred years, at the Dark Continent. Black Feather King of the Monster Race, come if you have the guts."
Zhou Yu's words reached Black Feather King, the Monster Race's Invincible King-Rank expert, at astonishing speed.
"What an arrogant Human Race brat. He will suffer when the time comes." Black Feather King was a gigantic black bird over a hundred meters tall. Upon receiving the news, he merely sneered inwardly.
He had accumulated experience at the Invincible King-Rank level for hundreds of millions of years. How could someone who had only just reached this level compare to him?
"Black Feather King, I heard that Zhou Yu attained such strength less than two hundred years after breaking through to Immortal. If he has another hundred years, might he improve further?" Some among the Monster Race urged Black Feather King not to accept the terms.
But Black Feather King did not care.
Zhou Yu had broken through to Immortal less than two hundred years ago, but he was not less than two hundred years old. He had spent tens of thousands of years at the World Lord level, and his accumulated foundation there was extraordinarily deep. It was hardly strange that he had become so powerful the moment he broke through.
Once one reached Invincible King-Rank, every aspect had already reached its limit. Trying to make any obvious further improvement was simply too difficult.
Moreover, Black Feather King actually hoped Zhou Yu would become stronger.
He had been stuck at his bottleneck for far too long. This time, apart from teaching Zhou Yu a lesson, he had emerged for his own sake.
Perhaps an evenly matched battle would allow him to break through!
News of this appointment soon spread through the Outer Battlefield at an unbelievable pace. Many powerhouses were tempted and considered going to watch.
Battles between Invincible King-Ranks were simply too rare.
As for Zhou Yu himself? Naturally, he remained calm.
A hundred years was enough for him to integrate the Black God Cone Set and the Universe Shuttle into his own combat secret techniques. By then, every aspect of his strength at the King-Sealing level would have reached its peak, so he naturally did not fear Black Feather King.
"Besides, this simulation might even bring me a surprise." A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yu's lips.
During this round of slaughter in the Outer Battlefield, Zhou Yu had killed Peak-Level King-Ranks and Limit-Level King-Ranks. The quality was high enough.
Coupled with the sheer number he had killed, he had gained another simulation opportunity.
With an opportunity in hand, Zhou Yu naturally intended to simulate.
