Multiverse Skill System

At this time, the battle between Yi Shuihan and Varus had spread throughout Chaos City, and the number of onlookers was now dozens of times greater than it had been three days ago.

Besides ordinary onlookers, many guardians from other major forces also came to guard the battlefield, keeping a close eye on the situation.

"I never expected Varus to fall here. It's truly gratifying."

"Yingfeng, you were just defeated by Varus, so why are you so resentful? Varus hasn't lost yet!"

"Win or lose, Varus will be quiet for a while after this."

"That's true. The company's guardian is really unexpected. I heard that he has a great background. He only recently became a Chaos Emperor and is the fastest Chaos Emperor in the history of the myriad realms. I didn't expect him to have such strength in such a short time. It's really terrifying."

In Yi Shuihan's personal world, the sky was already dark and the concentration of spiritual energy had dropped by more than 50% compared to before, giving it a doomsday feel. Many creatures living in this world were terrified. If it weren't for Tsunade and the others being there to keep things under control, the personal world would probably be in complete chaos.

The damage is so great that it would take hundreds of millions of years for the portable world to recover naturally. It can be said that the loss suffered by Yi Shuihan this time is unprecedented.

The greater the loss, the more intense Yi Shuihan's anger towards Varus burned. If Varus had offered to stop at the beginning, Yi Shuihan might have considered it. But now, he felt he had to kill him.

"Is it finally about to break down?"

With an expressionless face, Yi Shuihan stared at Varus opposite him. Sensing that Varus's energy was weakening, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

They've finally worn Varus down; these three days have been torture for Yi Shuihan.

In fact, if Yi Shuihan had really gone all out, he could have used the system to amplify the power again without the stalemate lasting so long. However, he underestimated Varus. He originally thought that Varus could only last for a few hours at most, in which case using the system would be a waste of time and effort. Then, a few hours later, Yi Shuihan had the same thought again, which led to the current situation.

If the output had been increased from the very beginning, the portable world would have taken at most tens of millions of years to recover, instead of the current situation.

This experience taught Yi Shuihan a profound lesson. If he encounters a similar situation in the future, he will definitely make a decisive decision and not repeat the same mistake.

"It seems we've really lost this time."

Varus's consciousness was beginning to blur. He had already exhausted his body to the point of exhaustion by the time he had managed to hold on until now. He had already been on the verge of collapse a day ago, and he was only pushing his body to its limits with sheer willpower. Now, he was finally unable to continue.

Staggering, Varus lost consciousness, and his energy output ceased completely. Then, the central energy sphere lost its balance, flickered twice, and exploded.

Yi Shuihan had a chance to get away from the explosion, but Varus was not so lucky and took full impact from it.

Chapter 1361, Primordial Elixir

The energy gathered by the two top Chaos Emperors of the Seeking Dao Realm over three days, even at the cost of their physical exhaustion, has created an explosive force that far exceeds the range of the first realm and has reached the level of the second realm, the Enlightenment Realm. If they were to fully withstand this explosion, it would be extremely difficult for a first-realm Chaos Emperor to survive.

In other words, Varus would have died as a result if nothing had happened, but in reality he is still alive.

"Jun Busan, didn't we agree not to interfere? Why did you save him?"

Ma Fengzi came to Yi Shuihan's side and saw that although Yi Shuihan's breath was weak, he was not seriously injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Jun Busan in a sarcastic tone.

At the moment of the final explosion, the formation shattered. At that time, Jun Busan and Ma Fengzi both made their moves at the same time, but one was for Varus and the other was for Yi Shuihan.

Previously, Jun Busan wanted to stop Ma Fengzi because he felt that Verus was not in danger and did not need his rescue. However, this final explosion made him somewhat nervous, so naturally he would save Verus first. Compared to stopping Ma Fengzi from saving Yi Shuihan, Verus's safety was more important to him.

Ma Fengzi had a similar idea, so both sides tacitly agreed to save their own side's guardians. Of course, if given the chance to take advantage of someone's misfortune, they would both be very willing.

Faced with Ma Fengzi's sarcastic remarks, Jun Busan did not answer, but just snorted coldly. He was a little scared at this moment. Fortunately, he acted quickly, otherwise Verus would have been dead for sure. He was just a little bit away from death.

After examining Verus's body, Jun Busan couldn't help but gasp. It was terrible, terribly terrible. Not to mention the physical injuries, even his soul was tattered. He couldn't even be sure if Verus could regain consciousness. Moreover, even if he could, recovery would be extremely difficult, taking at least billions of years, and requiring countless rare and precious materials.

Regardless of whether Varus can recover, he has been severely crippled, making it difficult for him to even reach the second realm. Originally, it would have been very easy for Varus to reach the second realm of the Chaos Emperor, and he even had a chance to achieve the third realm.

"Kid, you're really ruthless."

Jun Busan turned his gaze to Yi Shuihan and coldly shouted, "Such a talented man, ruined like this, how can I not be furious?"

"hehe."

Yi Shuihan's answer was exactly that word, what a joke. It made it sound like Varus wasn't being ruthless at first. If it were any other Chaos Emperor, they would have been killed by Varus long ago.

"Jun Bu San, what's this? You want to bully the weak? This is my territory, not your arena."

Ma Fengzi said in a deep voice. Although he did not unleash any earth-shattering aura, he inexplicably possessed boundless power.

A fleeting look of apprehension crossed Jun Busan's eyes. He didn't say anything more, but gave Yi Shuihan a deep look before turning and leaving.

"Don't forget the gold badge."

Madman Ma shouted at Jun Busan's retreating figure.

"A golden badge? What the heck! Could it be one of those bets from the movies? A wager between two people on who will win?"

The quick-witted Yi Shuihan easily guessed the truth and wanted to complain, but he didn't say it because Ma Fengzi still defended him.

"I didn't expect him to be the one to win in the end? It seems that another extraordinary person has arrived in Chaos City."

"It won't be long before this matter spreads throughout the myriad realms. He truly deserves to be called the most prodigy in history to achieve the Chaos Emperor in the shortest time."

"This kind of monstrous genius must not be made an enemy of. Add him to the family's list of those who should not be provoked. If any junior in the family dares to provoke him, the family will not only not step in, but will also personally send his head over."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, an undercurrent was about to unfold.

......

"Yi Shuihan defeated Verus and made a great contribution to protecting the interests of our company. I have decided to exempt him from ten duties of guarding the city and bestow upon him three Hunyuan Pills. If he has any questions about cultivation in the future, he can come to me for answers at any time."

In front of all the guardians, Ma Fengzi announced the rewards for Yi Shuihan. This was just the announced reward; there were many other rewards that were not announced, such as the golden badge, and the company would provide some healing treasures for Yi Shuihan to treat his injuries.

After hearing what Ma Fengzi said, all the guardians were extremely envious of Yi Shuihan. Ten guardian duties were nothing to them; what mattered was the three Chaos Pills and the right to ask Ma Fengzi questions at any time.

The Primordial Chaos Pill is a special elixir that can even help Chaos Emperors. It is of extraordinary value and has a significant effect even on a second-realm expert like Ma Fengzi. If it were given to a first-realm Chaos Emperor, its effect would be even greater. For one thing, a Primordial Chaos Pill can help one comprehend the Great Dao. With Yi Shuihan's talent, after taking three Primordial Chaos Pills, it would not be a problem for him to reach the ninth level of the Tower of Babel.

Ma Fengzi is a powerful expert at the second level of the Chaos Emperor realm, and his ranking on the Chaos Ranking is not low, extremely close to the third level. With the Great Dao Emperor not appearing and those at the third level all going into seclusion to seek a breakthrough to the Great Dao Emperor realm, Ma Fengzi can be said to be the top expert in the open in all the heavens and myriad realms. Having him answer the difficult questions in cultivation is of great help to someone like Yi Shuihan, who is at the first level of the Chaos Emperor realm.

Despite their envy, the guardians couldn't say anything. It was a fact that Yi Shuihan had defeated Verus, and he was now getting what he deserved. They knew that if they were in Yi Shuihan's shoes, they certainly couldn't have done what he did.

Among the guardians, there are those stronger than Verus, but they are all Chaos Emperors at the second level, having cultivated for over a hundred billion years. They are simply no match for Verus, and even if they win, it would be bullying the weak.

As for the first realm, anyone who watched that battle knows that even if they were only in the first realm, Yi Shuihan and Verus's combat power had reached a level close to the second realm, which can be said to be the invincible level of the first realm.

Among the guardians of the Dao Seeking Realm, besides Yi Shuihan, only Princess Baihuaxiang is probably able to fight Verus with the help of her mother's treasure. However, even if she wins, it is not a victory based on her own strength, and she will not be recognized. At most, people will only show some awe because of the princess's background. As for heartfelt recognition, there is definitely no such thing.

Chapter 1362, Purchasing Intelligence

After the battle with Varus, Yi Shuihan entered a state of healing. His own injuries were one aspect, but the most important thing was to sort out his personal world.

Yi Shuihan recovered from his own injuries in just a hundred years, but it was not so easy for his personal world. Even with the support of the company, it took Yi Shuihan more than a thousand years to restore the spiritual energy of his personal world to 60%, and he only managed to restore 10%.

To fully restore the portable world without significant investment would take hundreds of millions of years. This wouldn't be a problem for a typical Chaos Emperor, but it would be quite a long time for Yi Shuihan.

In fact, Yi Shuihan did find something to accelerate the recovery of his portable world, but with his current wealth, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy it, which made him hesitate.

In the end, Yi Shuihan had only just become a Chaos Emperor, and his wealth was not high among Chaos Emperors; in fact, he could be considered poor, as evidenced by the fact that he didn't even have a single Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

Of course, Yi Shuihan also gained a lot this time. For example, the Hunyuan Pill is extremely valuable. If he sold it, he could exchange just one for the repair of his personal world. Overall, Yi Shuihan's battle was very worthwhile and he made a profit.

"Should we take out a single Primordial Elixir or not?"

Yi Shuihan seemed somewhat hesitant about this question. The Hunyuan Pill was very effective, and Yi Shuihan was reluctant to part with it. If he lost one, it might take him more than a hundred million years to break through to the ninth level of the Tower of Babel.

If a single Primordial Elixir causes his comprehension of the Dao to take more than a hundred million years longer, then his act of exchanging the Primordial Elixir for repairing his personal world would be a losing proposition.

Repairing a portable world is easier to obtain than obtaining a Primordial Chaos Pill. To put it simply, a Primordial Chaos Pill is extremely rare and hard to come by; you can't buy it even if you want to. However, you can buy materials to repair a portable world anytime, as long as you can afford the price.

When Yi Shuihan emerged from seclusion, three thousand years had passed. After his injuries healed and his personal world stabilized, he spent another two thousand years cultivating. He also gained many insights during his battle with Varus, and these two thousand years were spent transforming those insights into his own foundation.

"Lord Yi Shuihan, you've come out."

A guard was standing outside Yi Shuihan's secluded retreat. When he saw Yi Shuihan come out, he quickly came over to greet him.

Looking at the respectful guard, Yi Shuihan nodded lightly and then asked, "Tell me what major events have happened since I went into seclusion?"

"Yes, sir, after you went into seclusion..."

This guard was a thoughtful person; he explained in detail the major events that had occurred over the past few thousand years since Yi Shuihan went into seclusion, clearly indicating that he had deliberately collected information.

An hour later, Yi Shuihan left, leaving behind a guard with a joyful expression.

"This thing is worth a million years of my work."

Looking at the object in his hands, the guard muttered to himself.

Upon emerging from seclusion, the first thing Yi Shuihan did was naturally to report to Ma Fengzi, since he was her superior and had been quite protective of her.

"Are you feeling better so soon?"

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, Ma Fengzi was somewhat surprised. In his view, it was normal for Yi Shuihan to reappear even after several million years. Once a Chaos Emperor was injured, it was not so easy for him to recover. Recovering for a million years at once could be considered a minor injury.

Upon closer inspection, Ma Fengzi was quite surprised to find that Yi Shuihan had no injuries.

"It's not completely healed, but the rest doesn't require any special care."

Yi Shuihan, of course, would not reveal anything about his personal world.

"I see!"

Ma Fengzi seemed thoughtful but didn't press the matter further; everyone has their own secrets, right?

"If you need anything, you can tell me. After all, you were injured for the company."

Ma Fengzi said in a very generous manner.

Even the generous Yi Shuihan was somewhat flattered. He was also tempted to ask if he should tell them what he needed.

After thinking it over, Yi Shuihan finally gave up the idea. The main reason was that he didn't want to say that what he needed was to restore the world. If he said that, it would arouse suspicion, since he had never heard of needing to restore the world after being injured.

To be honest, it does explain everything, but Yi Shuihan doesn't want his personal world to be exposed yet. If he doesn't tell the truth, Ma Fengzi will probably suspect that Yi Shuihan is deliberately blackmailing him, which is not what Yi Shuihan wants to see.

"I will definitely ask if I need to."

Seeing that Yi Shuihan was unwilling to speak, Ma Fengzi did not force him and changed the subject.

After spending half a day with Ma Fengzi, Yi Shuihan left the company's branch. During that time, Yi Shuihan benefited greatly and received a lot of guidance on cultivation.

Apart from Ma Fengzi and the guard, no one else knew that Yi Shuihan had left the company branch. They all thought that Yi Shuihan was still in seclusion healing his injuries.

"Is this the Merchant Alliance?"

Standing in the Merchant Alliance branch in Chaos City, Yi Shuihan looked around curiously.

The business alliance is much more lively than the company branch, at least in terms of the number of cultivators, which is at least dozens of times more than the company branch.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

As soon as he entered the Merchant Alliance, a fairy who was only about 10cm tall flew over and asked Yi Shuihan in a sweet voice.

Looking around, many customers were greeted by these fairies, who were special sales guide fairies from the business alliance.

It has to be said that the business alliance is really good at doing business. The fairy's appearance is very good and it is easy for customers to accept. At least, that's how Yi Shuihan sees it.

"I need to purchase some intelligence."

Intelligence, that's right. Yi Shuihan came here to buy intelligence. The Merchant Alliance is the most comprehensive force selling everything in the myriad realms, so intelligence is naturally among their products.

What Yi Shuihan wanted was naturally information about his master, mainly his master's location. In fact, if he didn't want to expose his relationship with his master, he could also get information about his master from the company. After all, the company would definitely pay attention to a Great Dao Emperor.

"Okay, please follow Xiaoxi, I'll take you to the place where information is sold."

Under the guidance of the fairy, Yi Shuihan gradually deepened his involvement in the merchant alliance.

Chapter 1363, Wishes Fulfilled

Yi Shuihan was led into a very small cubicle. There was only a small table in the cubicle, and behind the table sat a masked "person".

"My lord, we've arrived. Xiaoxi is waiting for you outside."

As the fairy spoke, she left the cubicle, leaving only Yi Shuihan and the masked figure whose appearance was obscured in the small space.

"If you put a crystal ball on the table, it'll definitely look like a witch telling fortunes!"

The familiar scene brought Yi Shuihan a sense of relaxation.

Upon entering, Yi Shuihan immediately realized that this small compartment was no ordinary place; at least in terms of its ability to isolate and probe, it was very powerful. Even with his spiritual power, Yi Shuihan could not easily probe the outside world from inside, as he was confined to this small space.

Moreover, Yi Shuihan had no idea what was under that black robe, which was clearly a treasure that could isolate one's aura.

"Please have a seat, guest."

A cold voice rang out, but the figure in the black robe did not move at all, not even raising its head.

"They've made it sound quite mysterious."

With a knowing smile, Yi Shuihan sat down on the small stool that was clearly reserved for a guest.

"What do you want to know?"

"Information about the Great Dao Emperor."

"The Great Dao Emperor!?"

The surprise in his voice was easily discernible; he was clearly shocked.
