Chapter 148 The Fall of Venerable Tianyang
Venerable Tianyang's pupils suddenly contracted, and the Eight-Light Shuttle hummed and trembled in his palm, but it was too late to retract it.
The two attacks collided violently, creating a deafening roar that shattered space, sending endless energy waves crashing outwards in all directions.
Venerable Tianyang and Venerable Chanlie were immediately knocked away. Qi Yuan's supreme treasure, the "Starlight Armor," emitted a series of starlight halos, which blocked all the energy impact.
A violent energy surge swept past, and Chan Shuo Wang's eyes widened in shock.
He never expected that in just over ten thousand years, the Kunpeng King would actually break through to become a Universe Venerable, and what's even more terrifying is that the power of his siege is even greater than that of Venerable Tianyang!
He wanted to teleport away, but the entire temple space was covered by starlight runes, making the space tough and viscous, like a fish in mercury, making even movement difficult.
Unable to teleport and relying solely on flight, he had no time to dodge the aftershocks of the battle.
A fierce energy surge swept over and caught up with him in an instant. His divine body was annihilated at lightning speed, and he perished without even making a sound.
Venerable Tianyang and Venerable Chanlie were thrown thousands of kilometers away before they regained their footing.
When Venerable Tianyang saw that 10% of his divine power had been annihilated, Venerable Chanlie fared even worse, losing 50% of his divine body in this attack!
"You are not the Supreme Being of the Universe! You—you are the Lord of the Universe?!"
Venerable Tianyang and Venerable Chanlie were horrified, and their voices trembled uncontrollably.
They couldn't help but secretly lament their own misdeeds, wondering what they had done to deserve such an assassination attempt by a cosmic ruler. Moreover, he had to play dumb to deceive them, pretending to be an invincible king. This was utterly outrageous!
They couldn't help but wonder if they were under a spell, which was why they were experiencing such an absurd plot.
After all, they had checked the information about Qi Yuan's body before they came to search for the treasure, and learned that he was a famous invincible king in the extraterrestrial battlefield and a special life form.
Either this Kunpeng King broke through from being an invincible king to becoming the Lord of the Universe within ten thousand years; or he was originally the Lord of the Universe in disguise.
However, it is clear in their understanding that the former is absolutely impossible, and no life in the entire universe can break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe in just over ten thousand years.
So he was originally the master of the universe, and he has been pretending for the past ten thousand years.
But that doesn't make sense either. What universe lord would be so bored as to go to the outer battlefield and pretend to be an invincible king? Besides, there's nothing on the outer battlefield that a universe lord would covet. After all, the Star Lord's treasure was only discovered after the King of Illumination accidentally provoked a war with him, leading to a series of subsequent events.
Of course, they didn't know that Qi Yuan was only a Universe Venerable. It was only through the blessing of the special inheritance of the Dongbi Ancestral God and the enhancement of the supreme treasure "Starlight Armor" that he possessed the combat power of a second-tier Universe Lord.
"Damn it! We can't escape, what do we do?"
The two mechanical race elders grew anxious and repeatedly used their divine power avatars left within their race to plead for help from the stronger members of the race.
"Lord of Hengxian, please save me! I am being chased by the Lord of Kunpeng!" The divine incarnation of Venerable Tianyang arrived outside the temple of Lord Hengxian and anxiously begged him for help.
"The Lord of Kunpeng? Which race's cosmic lord is this? Why have I never heard of him before?" Lord Hengxian asked curiously.
To become a strong person, one must go through all kinds of hardships and trials; it is impossible to become the master of the universe by working in isolation.
Moreover, the circle of top-tier powerhouses is relatively small; the number of universe lords in the entire universe is limited.
It's impossible for a universe master to appear out of thin air. Generally speaking, they all have some background. At least these top races and forces have some understanding of the information about every universe master in the universe and the universe venerables who may become universe masters.
However, he had never heard of the Lord of Kunpeng, nor had he ever collected any information about any related cosmic venerables.
"It's the special life form Kunpeng King, who became famous on the battlefield outside the realm more than 10,000 years ago!" Venerable Tianyang didn't bother to hide the matter of the Star Lord's treasure and quickly recounted the whole story, even projecting a simulated image of their battle.
The Lord of Strings abruptly stood up, his eyes widening in astonishment. "This—this is a second-tier Universe Lord! He's definitely not a newly broken-through Universe Lord! It must be some old guy in disguise!"
He quickly stood up, put on his armor, weapons, and other equipment, and said rapidly, "Try to stall for time. I'll be there soon. Whether you survive or not depends on your luck. But don't worry, I'll immediately notify the Cosmic Leader of our clan to mobilize. Even if you die, I will avenge you, and I will get your weapons back for you."
Venerable Tianyang felt a bitter taste in his mouth, yet he still had to express his gratitude with tears in his eyes.
He understood that even if the treasured weapon he possessed was taken back, it would no longer belong to him in the future, unless he exchanged it for treasure points.
This time I've suffered a huge loss. Thinking of this, I can't help but blame Wen Shuo Wang, that troublemaker, for dragging me down with him.
On the other side of the battlefield, Venerable Tianyang did not sit idly by and await his death. He quickly transmitted his voice to Venerable Chanlie, saying, "Venerable Chanlie, since you are destined to perish this time anyway, why don't you just self-destruct? If you can tear a crack in this secret array, I can escape with my life. Then, when you are resurrected in the future, I can give you 500..."
"I'll give you the most precious item."
"make a deal!"
Venerable Chanlie had no time to bargain; he knew that if his opponent made another move, he would perish on the spot.
If one can exchange their own sacrifice for the life of Venerable Tianyang, then this deal is actually quite worthwhile.
The cost of resurrecting him, plus the treasures he possessed, wouldn't even amount to 500 Treasure Points.
From this perspective, dying once is actually quite worthwhile.
Since the mechanical race has no souls, they are not afraid of being enslaved by souls.
The two reached an agreement in the blink of an eye.
Venerable Chanlie flashed and blocked Qi Yuan's path. Before Qi Yuan's attack could come again, Venerable Chanlie detonated all the divine power in his body.
"Venerable Tianyang, now is the time! Go quickly!"
Venerable Chanlie roared, his divine power bursting forth in a dazzling burst, like a colossal supernova exploding, all energy violently spraying out and sweeping in all directions.
The light, endless light, dazzling and radiant, obscured everything.
The self-destruction of a high-level cosmic venerable caused a violent energy shock that surged towards Qi Yuan like a giant tsunami.
Qi Yuan activated the ultimate treasure, "Starlight Armor," and stood motionless like a reef amidst the energy tide, resisting the energy explosion.
The starlight rune array was severely affected at this moment and was torn apart.
Despite burning his divine power and desperately activating his supreme armor, Venerable Tianyang was still blown away by the explosive energy.
The energy from Venerable Chanlie's self-destruction blasted his divine body into dust through the treasure armor, then reformed and recovered, causing his divine body to be damaged by another 12%.
However, Venerable Tianyang couldn't care less about that. Taking advantage of the huge opening torn in the Starlight Secret Pattern Array, he quickly flew out.
Once outside the area covered by the Starlight Secret Pattern Array, Venerable Tianyang immediately prepared to teleport away.
At this moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of joy at surviving a disaster welled up inside him.
But his joy was premature; a vast, colorful river of light enveloped him.
It turned out that Qi Yuan had activated the top-level treasure, the "Celestial Origin Wheel," at this moment.
A massive circular wheel hung high in the air, and a domain river composed of eight lower-level laws enveloped this space, preventing Venerable Tianyang from teleporting away.
Venerable Tianyang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He quickly flapped his wings and accelerated his flight, reaching the speed of light in an instant.
This is already the maximum speed within the realm's treasure.
He believed that if they could delay for a while longer and wait for the Lord of Hengxian and his group to arrive, the situation would definitely turn around.
If Qi Yuan were the only one present, even with the restraint of the domain treasure, and with the support of the Wu-killing wings, Qi Yuan would indeed not be able to kill Tian Chang Venerable in a short time.
Fortunately, the intelligent life form that could control the secret patterns set up by the Lord of Starlight was still here, and fortunately, he regarded Qi Yuan as a descendant of the Starlight Clan.
Driven by a desire to protect future inheritors and a hatred for the mechanical race, he once again surrounded the secret rune array.
Under the cover of the starlight rune diagram, and bound by the supreme domain treasure "Celestial Origin Wheel", Venerable Tianyang felt as if he had fallen into amber. The surrounding space became tough and viscous, making even flying difficult.
Qi Yuan quickly caught up with him.
"Go to hell!"
Tu Yu's claws and wings transformed into sharp weapons, launching a continuous attack.
He unleashed his three self-created ultimate secret techniques of the Beast God's Way: "Opening Heaven," "Evolution," and "Ending."
The three moves were unleashed almost simultaneously, as if a universe were being created and destroyed in a cycle before one's eyes.
This move disrupted spacetime, shattered the space itself, and threw the laws of time into chaos, turning this small area into a state of utter confusion.
"Ding!"
Faced with the first move, Venerable Tianyang tried his best to defend with the "Eight-Light Shuttle", but his ultimate technique "Eight-Light Shuttle" was instantly broken, and the high-grade treasure "Eight-Light Shuttle" was also knocked away and then hit him.
Two more attacks followed, striking him in quick succession.
"what!"
Venerable Tianyang let out a miserable cry as his divine body shattered into powder. It was reassembled only to be shattered again, then reassembled again, and then shattered once more.
His divine power rapidly dissipated, quickly dropping below 40%.
"Damn Kunpeng Lord! A dignified Lord of the Universe is impersonating King Wudi, bullying the weak with his power, shameless!"
"We, the Machine Race, will not let you get away with this!"
He uttered a loud curse, his voice filled with resentment, and then unleashed the remaining divine power.
Venerable Tianyang is a top-tier cosmic overlord with combat power comparable to a first-order cosmic lord. The power of his self-destruction is countless times greater than that of Venerable Chanlie.
Even Qi Yuan, who was wearing the ultimate treasure armor, was forced back thousands of kilometers by the fierce explosive energy.
After the aftershocks of the explosion subsided slightly, Qi Yuan hurriedly flew over, chasing after the treasures such as the Wu Shi Yu Yi that had been blown away.
These treasures were sent flying everywhere by the energy from Venerable Tianyang's self-destruction, some even plunging into the spatial storm.
Qi Yuan rode in the supreme treasure palace "Fortune Origin Tower" and chased after them. At the same time, the domain of "Celestial Origin Wheel" unfolded vastly, restricting the speed of these treasures.
His figure flickered back and forth, continuously collecting one treasure after another.
He even retrieved the treasures that had been caught in the spatial storm.
As he tallied his spoils, Qi Yuan was overjoyed, thinking to himself that he had really struck it rich this time.
Although the treasures on King Kan Shuo's body were insignificant to him, they were still quite substantial among those who were enfeoffed as kings. His wife Wan Luo, son Qi An, and sister Xiao Hui could all use them.
Venerable Chanlie possessed a wealth of treasures. His battle sword and giant hammer were ordinary supreme treasures, as was his armor. In addition, he had many precious materials that were cosmic treasures that could be used to forge supreme treasures.
The equipment of Venerable Tianyang is even more precious: the high-grade treasure "Eight-Light Shuttle", the high-grade treasure armor, and the top-level treasure flying palace, which is more valuable than ordinary treasures.
Most importantly, I finally got my hands on the Wu-Slaying Wings.
Don't underestimate these two Wu-killing wings just because they are ordinary treasures. When combined with the one on Qi Yuan's body, they become a top-tier treasure. Moreover, they can gain a preliminary grasp of spacetime and have the ability to manipulate spacetime similar to that of the Lord of the Universe.
Qi Yuan happily pocketed all these treasures.
"You—you are the Lord of the Universe?" The intelligent life form looked at Qi Yuan, its tone filled with shock and surprise.
Qi Yuan removed the blessing of the "Fortune Origin Tower," and the primordial energy of the universe faded away.
"As you can see, I am currently only a Universe Venerable. It was only by chance that I obtained a special treasure, and with the blessing of the treasure, I temporarily possess the combat power of a Universe Lord."
"Good, very good. You have such a special opportunity, which proves that you are very lucky. The master once said that although luck is ethereal, it is indispensable on the path of every strong person's growth. It seems that choosing you as the successor was the right choice. I believe that you will definitely lead the Starlight Clan to restore its glory."
He looked at Qi Yuan and smiled with relief. "You should leave quickly. Those mechanical scum might have already sent word back to their tribe. If you don't leave soon, things will get complicated. Remember, you must be patient when facing the four top-tier tribes. Don't put yourself in a desperate situation."
"And you? Do you want to come with me? I can find you a mechanical heart, so you can become a true life form capable of autonomous cultivation." Qi Yuan was still grateful to this intelligent life form. If it weren't for his help, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Venerable Tianyang so easily.
Even if he regrets it after learning the truth, Qi Yuan is not afraid; he won't be able to cause any trouble.
"Now that the matter is settled, I should join my master in eternal rest—" He shook his head.
