Outer Battlefield Turmoil, New Simulation Opportunity

Chaos City Lord spoke with Zhou Yu for a while longer, inquiring about how he had reached the level of an invincible King-Sealing.

Chaos City Lord was not particularly surprised that Zhou Yu had reached the 7,000th level of the Kongguang Divine General inheritance, assuming it was simply because the inheritance was exceptionally well-suited to him.

However, he was genuinely astonished when he learned that Zhou Yu had actually become a Black Warrior.

"To think that you, who study the laws of fire and space, could become a Black Warrior—that is truly rare," Chaos City Lord remarked.

"Since you have become a Black Warrior, go and apply for some Beast God Blood; it will further enhance your strength."

"Understood." Zhou Yu nodded.

Beast God Blood is a treasure refined from Xueluo Crystals; it takes one hundred Xueluo Crystals to refine a single drop, and integrating one drop of Beast God Blood is equivalent to perfectly integrating one Xueluo Crystal.

At this moment, Zhou Yu possessed strength at the ten-fold gene level, and on this foundation, every drop of Beast God Blood integrated would increase his strength by another fold.

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not ask further about the Beast God Blood, Chaos City Lord offered no more explanation and, after giving a few final instructions, allowed Zhou Yu to leave.

"Teacher, I shall take my leave." Zhou Yu bowed and retreated.

Zhou Yu settled temporarily in Chaos City. Following Chaos City Lord's instructions, he applied for the Beast God Blood. He had a free quota of fifty drops, and after integrating them into his body, his base strength quickly soared from one million times the peak World Lord power to six million.

Not long after, a staff member from the Virtual Universe Company delivered a World Ring.

The World Ring contained a wisp of Chaos City Lord's divine power, which only Zhou Yu could refine.

Once Zhou Yu refined the World Ring, the first thing he saw was 1,008 "cone-shaped" treasures arranged across a vast plain.

Each cone was over a hundred miles high, standing on the plain like black towers—a truly spectacular sight.

"The 'Black God Cone Set'." Zhou Yu found a written description nearby.

This "Black God Cone Set" was undoubtedly a treasure for a controller-type fighter, and each individual Black God Cone could be considered a heavy treasure.

The complete set of 1,008 Black God Cones was fully worthy of being called a supreme treasure!

"This treasure..."

Zhou Yu appeared in a flash within the world inside the World Ring. He reached out to touch one of the massive Black God Cones, his heart filled with awe.

The efficiency of using these Black God Cones to slaughter enemies would be unimaginable.

Soon, Zhou Yu found a metal box within the ring world. Upon opening it, a strip-like crystal about the length of a thumb appeared before his eyes.

The crystal radiated a brilliant three-colored light, looking incredibly beautiful.

"Is this the 'Time Thousand-Vein Crystal'?" Following the manual, Zhou Yu carefully integrated the crystal into his divine body.

At that moment, a three-colored mark appeared on Zhou Yu's forehead, and his perception of the outside world changed drastically.

Ever since becoming an Immortal, Zhou Yu's perception of laws other than space and fire had been very vague.

Becoming a Black Warrior had improved it slightly, but not significantly.

This time, integrating the 'Time Thousand-Vein Crystal' finally gave Zhou Yu a decent grasp of the time laws.

Although it's not as good as when I was a World Lord, it is much better than before. With my three great talents, comprehending the time laws shouldn'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 channel and arrived at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

There, Zhou Yu met Venerable Mofeng.

"Haha, Zhou Yu, I heard you have been accepted as a disciple by Chaos City Lord. This is a joyous occasion indeed." Venerable Mofeng was a lean, elderly man. Since the news of Chaos City Lord taking on a disciple had already been made public within a small circle, Venerable Mofeng had naturally heard of it.

"I was just lucky to be favored by Teacher," Zhou Yu said, then added, "Moreover, I could not have reached where I am today without your help, Venerable Mofeng."

Venerable Mofeng was effectively Zhou Yu's direct superior. Regarding the previous matter of the heavy treasure, and judging by what Fire Dragon King had told him, Venerable Mofeng had clearly played a significant role, a fact Zhou Yu kept firmly in mind.

"That is because you have the ability," Mofeng shook his head. "In my opinion, I should have just given you a heavy treasure directly. But enough of that, come, let me take you to see your treasures."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

He followed Venerable Mofeng and soon entered a separate treasure vault.

"Relying on your own strength, you already possess the power of an invincible King-Sealing, so for this treasure selection, I have chosen a 'flight-type' treasure for you." Venerable Mofeng looked ahead at a massive, shuttle-like treasure.

"A flying shuttle?" Zhou Yu understood immediately; this was a heavy treasure to be stepped upon.

The reason it was classified as a flight-type treasure rather than an "attack-type" likely had to do with its inherent secret patterns.

Every heavy treasure or supreme treasure possessed its own secret techniques; one could only unleash their maximum power by activating these inherent techniques or by integrating them into one's own.

Of course, one could also use their own secret techniques while utilizing the treasure, depending on the choice.

"What do you think? If you are not satisfied, I can help you exchange it," Venerable Mofeng looked at Zhou Yu.

"This is the one!"

Zhou Yu nodded.

For attacks, he had the "Black God Cone Set," and a flight-type heavy treasure would compensate for his weakness in mobility, making him a more well-rounded fighter.

It had to be said that Venerable Mofeng was very thoughtful. His previous battle against the three Demon Race King-Sealing fighters had highlighted his weakness: his speed was not fast enough!

Otherwise, he would not have had to worry about any of the three escaping, nor would he have needed to feign weakness at the start.

Zhou Yu accepted the flight-type heavy treasure, the "Universe Shuttle," and after thanking Venerable Mofeng, he departed from the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

He did not rush to study the secret technique inscribed on the stone tablet given to him by the Chaos City Lord; instead, he headed once again to the Outer Battlefield.

With his strength having increased significantly, it was only natural for Zhou Yu to indulge in a proper slaughter.

This time, Zhou Yu did not return to the Dark Continent. Having killed the Black Fierce King and two others last time, he had surely terrified the King-Sealing experts there; returning now would likely yield little reward.

Consequently, Zhou Yu went directly to the "Heavenly Dragon Abyss," another core danger zone in the 11th Outer Battlefield.

There, using the Black God Cone, Zhou Yu easily dispatched several peak King-Sealing and limit King-Sealing experts, his efficiency in killing far higher than before.

Afterward, Zhou Yu traveled to other danger zones and even ventured into different battlefields, constantly hunting for prey and continuing his slaughter.

Naturally, this frenzied killing spree by Zhou Yu quickly drew attention.

"Damned human, despicable and shameless! He has already reached the level of an invincible King-Sealing expert, yet he continues to massacre in the Outer Battlefield."

"We must make him pay the price."

"..."

The powerhouses of other factions could no longer sit idly by and began petitioning the invincible King-Sealing experts of their own factions to settle the score with Zhou Yu.

During this period, the majority of those who died at Zhou Yu's hands belonged to the Demon Race faction, so it was the Demon Race's invincible King-Sealing experts who reacted the fastest.

Soon, a long-renowned Demon Race expert, the "Black Feather King," issued a challenge, inviting Zhou Yu to a duel. He declared that if Zhou Yu dared to hide and refuse the fight, the Black Feather King would remain in the Outer Battlefield for hundreds of millions of years, slaughtering human King-Sealing experts until the number matched the Demon Race experts Zhou Yu had killed.

This move effectively put Zhou Yu on the spot.

Of course, if Zhou Yu were shameless enough, he could choose to ignore the challenge.

However, after some consideration, Zhou Yu went to the Hong Alliance and publicly announced his acceptance.

"One hundred years from now, in the Dark Continent. Black Feather King of the Demon Race, come if you have the guts."

Zhou Yu's words reached the ears of the Demon Race's invincible King-Sealing expert, the Black Feather King, with lightning speed.

"What an arrogant human. I'll make him regret it when the time comes." The Black Feather King, a massive black avian standing a hundred meters tall, merely sneered upon hearing the news.

He had been accumulating power as an invincible King-Sealing expert for hundreds of millions of years; how could someone who had just reached this level compare to him?

"Black Feather King, I heard that Zhou Yu has only been an Immortal for less than two hundred years and already possesses such strength. If we give him another hundred years, might he improve even further?" Some within the Demon Race advised the Black Feather King not to agree to the terms.

But the Black Feather King did not care.

While it was true that Zhou Yu had been an Immortal for less than two hundred years, he was not actually less than two hundred years old. The man had spent tens of thousands of years at the World Lord level; his foundation was incredibly deep, so it was not strange for him to be this powerful upon breaking through.

Once one reaches the level of an invincible King-Sealing expert, every aspect has been pushed to the limit; making any significant progress thereafter is extremely difficult.

Moreover, the Black Feather King actually hoped that Zhou Yu would be powerful.

He had been stuck at a bottleneck for too long. This excursion was not just to teach Zhou Yu a lesson, but also for his own sake.

Perhaps a battle between evenly matched opponents would allow him to break through!

News of this duel spread across the Outer Battlefield at an incredible speed, and many powerhouses were quite stirred, harboring thoughts of going to watch the battle.

A clash between invincible King-Sealing experts was a rare sight indeed.

As for Zhou Yu himself? He was, of course, very calm.

One hundred years was enough for him to integrate the "Black God Cone Set" and the "Universe Shuttle" into his combat techniques. By then, his strength at the King-Sealing level would be pushed to the absolute limit, and he would naturally have nothing to fear from the Black Feather King.

Besides, this simulation might even give me a surprise, Zhou Yu thought, a faint smile playing on his lips.

During his slaughter in the Outer Battlefield, he had killed only peak and limit King-Sealing experts—the quality was high enough.

Combined with the sheer volume of kills, he had earned another opportunity to simulate.

With the opportunity in hand, Zhou Yu naturally intended to simulate.
