Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, Mainland China.
A waterfall cascades down from the clouds like an inverted Galaxy. In a pavilion at the foot of the waterfall, Lu Qingshan is leisurely sipping fine wine.
In front of him.
A figure dressed in a white robe knelt on the ground.
"Many thanks to the Lord of Myriad Laws for his assistance, which has given me the opportunity to break through to the Universe Venerable level."
After breaking through to the Universe Venerable, King Anju immediately went to Lu Qingshan's manor to express his gratitude.
He knew that his breakthrough was entirely due to the assistance of the Lord of Myriad Laws —and that he wouldn't have reached this point so quickly if it weren't for the treasures bestowed upon him by the Lord of Myriad Laws over the years.
Although his age is unknown, it is no exaggeration to say that the Lord of Myriad Laws Lord of Myriad Laws is his second parent.
"While I provided assistance, your breakthrough was largely due to your own efforts."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
He then said...
Get up.
King Anju then slowly rose to his feet.
Lu Qingshan gestured to the chair opposite him, indicating for him to sit down, before saying, "Back when I was World Lord Level, you guided me and were my first Universe Venerable. There's no need for you to be reserved in front of me. Now that you've become Universe Venerable, there are some things I need to discuss with you."
" Lord of Myriad Laws, please speak," King Anju said hastily.
"Becoming Universe Venerable means you're already among the higher echelons of the Human Race. Universe Venerable also have their own duties, whether it's guarding a region, training disciples, or following the race's arrangements to complete tasks within their capabilities. You can look into those tasks after your identity is confirmed and choose one that suits you. However, I see you're content with the status quo and dislike conflict. Perhaps you could teach more students and cultivate outstanding disciples; that would also be a merit."
"Understood."
Although King Anju had lived for an incredibly long time, he had only displayed the strength of Peak King before, and was completely unable to access the domain of Venerable Yu Shen. He was unaware of this beforehand.
"After becoming Universe Venerable, the clan will have a limit of 100 True Treasure Points that you can withdraw, which can be considered as Beginning funds from the clan. This is enough for you to further improve your strength. In addition, you are my subordinate—now that you have become Universe Venerable, I will also show my appreciation."
As he spoke.
He drew a silver longsword.
"This is an Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapon; with your current strength, you can barely use it."
King Anju stared at the Supreme Treasure before him, slightly moved.
When he King Rank, he joined the Lord of Myriad Laws and was already given a True Treasure weapon, which was already quite extraordinary. But now, with the Lord of Myriad Laws' help, he has broken through to the level of Universe Venerable and received an even Supreme Treasure as a reward.
The Human Race —there probably will never be another powerful being as generous as the Lord of Myriad Laws.
"Thank you, Lord of Myriad Laws, for this."
King Anju bowed again before finally putting away the Supreme Treasure weapon.
A Supreme Treasure weapon can elevate his strength to a whole new level. It's worth noting that many High Universe Venerable don't even possess Supreme Treasure.
"Hmm! Once you've deciphered the secret runes on this Supreme Treasure, you can travel to the Initial Universe to confirm your identity. What will your title be then?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Still call him Venerable Anju ----" King Anju said without thinking.
"Just as I thought!" Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Go on, come here immediately after your breakthrough. You haven't even properly digested your strength yet. Go and digest your strength and refine the Supreme Treasure. I'll contact you if there are any missions in the future."
"You are the Lord of Myriad Laws; I take my leave!"
After taking his leave, King Anju departed.
King Anju's manor is quite far from here, after all, he was only a King-level Immortal before.
Back to my own little home.
King Anju separated a wisp of his consciousness to comprehend the secret runes on the Supreme Treasure.
Attacking the Law Secret Patterns on Supreme Treasure is the simplest thing to do, especially since it's just a normal attack on Supreme Treasure; it's not very difficult for him.
"With this Supreme Treasure bestowed upon me by the Lord of Myriad Laws, my confidence is even greater!"
King Anju muttered to himself.
Then, a terrifying killing intent flashed in his calm eyes.
That was a form he had never shown in countless eons.
Over the years, he had been pretending, pretending for so long, so very tiring. Now, as the Universe Venerable, he could no longer suppress the flame burning within him.
He took out a crystal, which was somewhat whitish, clearly having undergone the test of time.
Within the crystal, a faint image emerged, preserved despite the passage of trillions of epochs.
" An Yue, you're a good person in every way, except you're too dull. This time, coming with us to the Outer Domain Battlefield will broaden your horizons."
She was a woman with angelic wings; she was gentle, beautiful, and the person he admired.
"This Phantom Orb was obtained from my family's ancestor. Our journey to the Outer Domain Battlefield is of utmost importance, and I want to record this exciting event."
The images rippled like water.
The 19 most outstanding geniuses from the Guanghua Star Region made a pact to travel together to the Outer Domain Battlefield.
Everyone wore a smile, showing absolutely no tension about heading to Outer Domain Battlefield.
After all, their Guanghua Star Region is the core star region of the Universe Country, and they are all the top geniuses in the entire star region, each of them is at the level of World Lord General. Even when facing Immortal God, they will not be afraid at all. Moreover, this time there are 19 people together, and as long as they do not go to those high-level battle areas, their danger is not very great.
They went to the Fifth Battlefield, the Sea of Death —the area where Ordinary Immortal Army Lord and World Lord fought. The 19 of them cooperated with each other and fought for hundreds of years. Although they experienced countless risks, none of them perished because they supported each other and carried their family treasures.
After hundreds of years of fighting side by side, their friendship has become even stronger, and An Yue, who was once a taciturn boy, has become much more cheerful.
" An Yue, that's it. You've become much more cheerful and mature. I originally thought it was because your older sister was taking care of you, but I didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly. Now, out of the 19 of us brothers and sisters, only your eldest brother can overwhelm you in terms of strength."
" An Yue is now the number one genius in our Guanghua Star Region, and he has the potential to become King-level Immortal God in the future."
The eldest brother had a warm smile on his face.
"Becoming King Rank! That's a very prestigious position in our Universe Country! An Yue —you're truly amazing!"
The scene in the video was still beautiful, but King Anju's face had turned completely gloomy.
Sure enough, not long after----
A Demon Race resembling a black dog with nine tails appeared in the video.
"Haha----I've finally found a squad composed entirely of World Lord General. I'll kill them all. The merit I gain will probably be comparable to killing a Peak Marquis."
He would never forget that battle for the rest of his life.
These nineteen individuals, the most dazzling geniuses in the Guanghua Star Region, had fought in the Sea of Sea of Death for centuries without ever suffering a defeat. They were too confident, so confident that they forgot the cruelest truth of the Outer Domain Battlefield.
There is no absolute safety there; you never know what you will encounter next.
That was a Marquis -Marquis Immortal God of the Demon Race, and also the current Universe Venerable of the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff lineage of the Demon Race, the Venerable Evil Tail.
Marquis Immortal God is a force to be reckoned with in lower-level Outer Domain Battlefield, a force akin to a dimensional reduction in strength. He wasn't just passing by; he came specifically to hunt them down.
"Nineteen World Lord General -- tsk tsk, it's been a long time since I've tasted such delicious blood!" The Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff hovered in mid-air, its nine jet-black tails swaying slowly like nine venomous snakes.
That battle could not even be called a battle.
That was a massacre.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff didn't even use its full strength; it simply opened its eyes and its Soul Attack instantly annihilated the seventh brother, who was the strongest among them but had the weakest will.
His features were contorted, and he seemed to have lost his soul as he plummeted straight down from the sky.
"Seventh Brother!!"
The third brother rushed over like a madman, trying to catch his falling body.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff simply raised its hand.
A beam of dark light pierced through the third brother's chest.
Then, he grabbed the other man's heart and swallowed it whole.
Although they are World Lord General, even if they break through to Immortal, they are no match for Marquis Immortal God, let alone World Lord at present.
" An Yue ----"
As his brothers and sisters fell one by one, the eldest brother's voice suddenly became calm, eerily calm.
He turned his head to look at An Yue, whose weathered face still held a gentle expression.
" An Yue, you are the most talented among us. You must survive and protect our family."
The elder brother spoke each word carefully, and at the same time, his body began to glow.
It was a golden light, a warm light.
" Yun Xi," the elder brother said, glancing at the winged woman beside him, his tone becoming more serious, "You take An Yue away."
"I'm not leaving!" An Yue shook his head. "We came together, so we'll leave together!"
"Fool, Yun Xi said you've matured. If you don't leave, who will avenge us?"
The golden light grew brighter and brighter, and the energy within the eldest brother's body began to burn wildly. This was a forbidden secret technique of the eldest brother's family, which could temporarily enhance strength, but it could only be used once, because using it would inevitably lead to death!
But he did not hesitate.
The golden light transformed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, slamming fiercely towards the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff.
Then beams of light rushed toward the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff. The other brothers knew what their leader was about to do; they couldn't escape—but they could buy some time.
" An Yue!" Yun Xi grabbed An Yue's struggling hand, and her words of obedience calmed him down. Her wings fully unfolded, and she moved with extreme speed.
Explosions rang out behind them, accompanied by the furious roar of the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff.
Yun Xi's tears fell onto An Yue's hand, so tender, yet so hot.
She stuffed something into An Yue's arms—this Phantom Orb and a Space Ring.
" The Phantom Orb contains the memories of all of us, as well as the faces of our enemies. The ring contains what I gave you—you must return alive."
She smiled.
That smile, An Yue remembered for trillions of years.
When the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff came chasing after them.
Yun Xi shoved him away abruptly, and at the same time, her wings burst forth with a blinding white light. At the cost of damaging the treasure, she unleashed her fastest speed. Those were not her original wings, but a flying treasure. The wings enveloped An Yue as they fled at top speed.
Then, a crisp explosion shattered his spirit.
Fortunately, the powerful members of the Hongmeng Alliance camp arrived in time to rescue him, but everyone else—his elder brother, all his brothers and sisters, and Yun Xi —did not return.
Nineteen people came, and one returned.
When he left the Outer Domain Battlefield, he cried for several days and nights at the Barracks Base.
From that day on, An Yue died.
Of those who survived, only one remained: a puppet driven by revenge.
After cultivating his way up to the King Level, he named himself King Anju, with Anju meaning An Yue and Ju meaning Ju meaning to be mindful of danger in times of peace.
He's waiting.
Waiting for an opportunity.
Wait until you are strong enough.
I long to be able to personally tear that murderer to pieces.
After the trillion-year era.
He finally became Universe Venerable, his strength catching up with that of his enemy. His fingers slowly tightened, and his hand holding the Phantom Orb trembled slightly.
The nineteen young people in the video are still laughing, joking, and full of vigor.
An Yue gently pressed the Phantom Orb to his chest and closed his eyes.
After a long time!!
He took out a slightly yellowed white robe from the Space Ring. Although he had never worn it, the robe was already very old, but King Anju still put it on.
He slowly sheathed his Supreme Treasure longsword.
Then he put a black orb into his body. It was a treasure he had obtained from the Time Ripple Secret Region. Over the years, he had sold all the Time Origin Orb, but had never shown this treasure.
Finally, he released a servant, who was an ordinary Immortal God of the Demon Race.
"Teleport to the territory of the Nine-Tailed Demon Mastiff."
His voice was tinged with excitement; he had waited far too long for this day!
