Cosmic Wind Haze Beast

Fang Yan raised his hand, and the Black Lotus Battle Armor automatically fitted itself over his body.

At the same time, Hei Lian flew over from the Dawn Zone, a slender jet-black sword in her hand.

Dim light flowed across the blade. Its edge was as thin as a cicada's wing, and countless fine law-patterns could vaguely be seen slowly circulating within it.

"World-Ending Sword."

Hei Lian handed the sword to Fang Yan.

"A common supreme treasure the Virtual Universe Company gave me. I have no use for it, so take it."

Fang Yan accepted the sword and felt the world-destroying power contained within its blade.

"You really don't need it?"

"I really don't. Besides, you're my master. What's mine is yours."

Fang Yan smiled helplessly and stored the World-Ending Sword in his World Ring.

Wind-Following Wings, worth 16 heavy treasure points.

World-Ending Sword, worth 2.5 supreme treasure points.

Fang Yan calculated silently. He could be considered to have a modest fortune now.

The reconstruction of the Black Heaven Secret Realm had come to an end, but Hei Lian's divine body recovery had encountered a bottleneck.

"Less than half a percent of my divine body has been converted. At this rate, it will take at least tens of millions of epochs to return to my peak."

Hei Lian stood in the center of the giant lotus in the Dawn Zone. There was little expression on her pale face, but Fang Yan could sense a trace of anxiety in her words.

"The Virtual Universe Company headquarters has Origin Supreme Treasures available for rent."

After pondering for a moment, Fang Yan voiced his idea.

"With the power of a supreme treasure, the conversion of your divine power can be greatly accelerated."

Hei Lian glanced at him, and a complicated glimmer flashed through her deep, black-hole-like eyes.

"Can I use one too?"

After asking Chaos Lord, Fang Yan smiled and answered.

"Of course. It's just that you, Lord of Black Heaven, will have to work for our Human Race for a while."

Hei Lian fell silent for a moment, then the corners of her lips lifted slightly into an exceedingly faint smile.

"Alright."

Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

Fang Yan's human Clone, clad in the Black Lotus Battle Armor, walked out side by side with Hei Lian.

Hei Miaomiao's soft, curious voice came from within the armor.

"Wow, is this Human Race territory? It's so huge! So bright!"

"Miaomiao, don't make such a fuss."

Fang Yan transmitted helplessly.

"Okay."

Hei Miaomiao obediently fell silent, but her curiosity still passed through the armor like a restless little kitten.

Hei Lian walked beside Fang Yan, her long black dress drifting gently through the void while golden light flickered faintly among her hair.

Her arrival caused quite a stir.

An alien universe master entering the core territory of the Human Race was unprecedented in the history of the entire Human Race.

The Immortals, Marquises, and Kings along the way all stepped aside, casting respectful yet curious looks at her.

"So that's the Lord of Black Heaven?"

"I heard she broke through in the Black Heaven Secret Realm..."

Whispers spread through the crowd, but Hei Lian's expression remained unchanged, as if she had heard nothing.

Fang Yan led Hei Lian through corridor after corridor until they reached the core region of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

A massive palace floated in the void. Silver-white light flowed across its surface, radiating an aura that made one's heart tremble.

Deep within the palace stood a silent figure.

Chaos Lord.

He was tall, and merely standing there made him seem like the center of the entire universe.

His deep, starry eyes fell on Fang Yan, carrying a hint of satisfaction.

"You did very well."

Chaos Lord's voice was calm and gentle, yet every word contained the resonance of laws.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Chaos Lord got straight to the point, looking calmly at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan took a deep breath and gave the answer he had long prepared.

"Senior, I wish to possess a special lifeform."

The Spring Autumn Cicada was a product of the supreme rules' correction. Fang Yan's soul had now been perfectly split into two, so abandoning his human Clone had been part of his plans from the start.

As an exchange student from the Gu World, Fang Yan had no psychological burden whatsoever about no longer being human.

Chaos Lord nodded slightly, seeming to ponder something.

He raised a hand and tapped the void, and a dazzling list appeared before Fang Yan.

The list densely displayed dozens of special lifeforms, their genetic multipliers, innate secret techniques, suitable law paths for cultivation...

Fang Yan's gaze swept rapidly over the list, and his heartbeat quickened slightly.

Any one of these special lifeforms would be a treasure worth making venerables fight tooth and nail for on behalf of their juniors.

Yet now, they were neatly listed before him, awaiting his selection.

Fang Yan's eyes moved repeatedly over the list.

Those with high genetic multipliers had unsuitable innate secret techniques.

Those with powerful innate secret techniques had genetic multipliers that were lacking.

Those suited to Wind and the Time Law...

His gaze suddenly stopped on a certain entry.

Cosmic Wind Haze Beast.

Genetic multiplier: 520 times.

Divine body: fifty kilometers.

Innate secret techniques.

Cosmic Wind Haze: Forms a region of white haze based on one's own strength, equivalent to the effect of a domain treasure.

Transformation: Can transform into any appearance it has seen.

Cosmic Wind Body: A darling of the Wind-Time Fusion Law.

"Cosmic Wind Haze Beast..."

Fang Yan murmured, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

A genetic multiplier of 520 was not the very best among special lifeforms, but it was definitely not low either.

More importantly, it suited the Wind-Time Fusion Law path he intended to follow.

The corners of Fang Yan's lips rose slightly as he silently renamed "Transformation" in his heart.

Why does this feel so familiar?

"This one."

Fang Yan raised his head and looked firmly at Chaos Lord.

Chaos Lord nodded slightly. He had always disliked interfering with the decisions of the younger generation.

He raised a hand and tapped the void. A streak of white light shot out from the list and landed in Fang Yan's palm.

It was a white crystal. Within it, he could vaguely see the phantom of a thousand-meter-long beast slowly swimming.

"After the possession, your human body will be replaced."

Chaos Lord warned him.

"The soul transfer process will be very painful. You need to prepare yourself mentally."

Fang Yan clenched the crystal, feeling the surging vitality in his palm, and nodded solemnly.

"I understand, Senior."

Inside a sealed cultivation chamber at the Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

Fang Yan sat cross-legged in the center, with the white crystal floating before him.

Hei Lian stood outside the cultivation chamber, watching him through the transparent barrier.

Hei Miaomiao's voice carried a trace of concern.

"Lady Sovereign, is Master not going to be human anymore? Can't Master become a Black Sky Lotus like us too?"

"Hey! Lady Sovereign, why did you hit me?"

Hei Lian did not take her eyes off Fang Yan and silently sighed.

Even after taking human form, the intelligence of plant lifeforms still varied greatly.

The reason humans held a favorable impression of the Black Sky Lotus race was also because, although they were considered plant lifeforms, their genes still had much in common with the Human Race.

(Was it the mother tree that cheated, or the male flower that strayed? ٩(๑^o^๑)۶)
