Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 183 The Shocked Yan Emperor

Zhang Yi nodded slightly. He understood that Lord Youhou meant that they should be reserved in their dealings with these alien races.

The two quickly arrived at the water area marked on the map.

Whoosh! A dark stream of energy appeared centered on Lord Youhou, instantly covering an area with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

"This is the Black Quicksand, a top-tier treasure of the domain category?" Zhang Yi asked in surprise. He recognized the treasure; he remembered that it cost two thousand treasure points in the clan's treasure exchange list.

"Haha, I contributed a new map this time, and I used the treasure points I earned to exchange for this domain-type treasure. Although Black Sand is not as good as my master's Thousand Treasure River, it is still at the same level." Lord Youhou laughed proudly. "With it, our exploration will be much more convenient."

"However, although this method allows for faster exploration, some truly treasure-filled locations are so affected by the entire Qingfeng Realm that they cannot be discovered using a domain alone."

"Yeah." Zhang Yi nodded.

"That's already pretty good. At least we were able to spot a lot of dangers in advance. The exploration is still mainly up to the two of us to figure it out."

The two then began exploring the waters, including canyons, caves, mountains, and forests. They initially stayed together, but later separated to increase efficiency.

However, the two were not far apart, and they could reach each other in a few teleports.

As time passed, Zhang Yi's consciousness in the primordial universe received a message from the Lord of Youhou: he had just discovered the Yan Emperor and warned him to be careful.

"Emperor Yan?" Zhang Yi's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that Emperor Yan would also be exploring the Endless Waters.

He understood Emperor Yan far better than Lord Youhou.

All they knew was that this Yan Emperor was domineering, petty, and jealous. For the sake of a supreme treasure, he was willing to kill the universe's ruler of the human race. After being discovered, he did not hesitate to betray the human race.

Due to the immense power of the Yan Emperor and his intricate connections with the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the human race endured the situation.

Little did they know that this Yan Emperor was the second disciple whom the Mountain Master had painstakingly cultivated. He was originally highly regarded by the Mountain Master, but unfortunately, he had now been largely abandoned by the Mountain Master.

Now, the expectations of those who sit on the mountain are placed on the Earth's lineage.

However, based on the current timeline, the first and second inheritors of the Star Tower have already failed.

The mountain dweller is still patiently waiting for the birth of the next successor.

Of course, Zhang Yi knew that this would take many more epochs, since the Earth where Luo Feng was born had not yet been formed.

After receiving information about the Flame Emperor, Zhang Yi continued exploring the waters, but he did not encounter the Flame Emperor.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm? Lord Youhou is asking for help." Zhang Yi received the distress message in the virtual universe.

Without a second thought, Zhang Yi teleported to the coordinates provided by the Lord of Youhou.

Before long, Zhang Yi arrived at a canyon.

Two figures were engaged in a fierce battle. One of them was the Lord of Youhou, and the other... Zhang Yi stared intently at him.

It was a towering figure, covered in dense scales, with a single, enormous horn on its head.

That soaring domineering aura, that domineering attitude of "I am the only one who matters" and "I am the only one who is supreme," was none other than the Flame Emperor.

"Lord You, get out of my way! This treasure is mine!" The tall and burly Yan Emperor roared, wielding the massive Yan God Halberd, repeatedly striking Lord You in an attempt to reach the treasure.

Boom! Lord Youhou also gripped his signature Youhou Dagger tightly, fighting back again and again to prevent Yandi from getting close to the treasure.

In terms of momentum and strength, Emperor Yan has the upper hand, but the advantage is not significant.

Rumble! Around the two, black air currents and endless vortexes were frantically consuming and confronting each other.

The endless vortex is Emperor Yan's top-tier domain-type treasure.

The two supreme treasures of different domains possess similar powers and restrain each other, with the treasure located in the middle of the two domains. "Lord You, I've arrived," Zhang Yi's voice rang out.

Lord Youhou was initially delighted, but then he spoke anxiously.

"Zhang Yi, you are no match for him. Do not get close, or you will be in danger of dying."

In the eyes of Lord Youhou, Zhang Yi's strength, as demonstrated in the Origin Palace, was at most that of a second-tier universe lord. Encountering Yan Di, who possessed strength nearly equivalent to a fourth-tier universe lord, was indeed extremely dangerous.

Zhang Yi shook his head, and with a swift movement, transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the treasure.

"It's worth exposing my strength for a top-tier treasure," Zhang Yi thought to himself. He sensed the aura emanating from the distant treasure, which was roughly at the level of a top-tier weapon.

"Boy, you have guts!" Upon discovering that Zhang Yi was flying directly towards the top-tier treasure, the Flame Emperor's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his divine power erupted. He repeatedly slammed the Flame Divine Halberd in his hand towards the Lord of Youhou.

Lord Youhou was thrown back hundreds of thousands of kilometers away by the impact.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor Yan continued to fly towards Zhang Yifei.

At the same time, an endless vortex pressed down on Zhang Yi.

"Take this!" Emperor Yan swung his Yan Divine Halberd down.

"Not good!" Lord Youhou exclaimed in alarm from afar. "Zhang Yi, get out of the way quickly! This Yan Emperor is not comparable to the Lord of the Sinking Fire."

As if he hadn't seen or heard anything, Zhang Yi waved his hand and directly put away that top-tier weapon treasure.

"Human brat, you're asking for death!" Emperor Yan was furious when he saw Zhang Yi take the treasure without dodging his halberd.

Zhang Yi, having put away his most precious treasure, smiled slightly as Yan Di's Flame God Halberd came crashing down upon him.

Boom! The spear in his hand exploded.

"The Disc of Time and Space!"

The spear burst forth with dazzling light, directly meeting the Fiery Divine Halberd head-on.

Rumble!
A violent shockwave emanated from the point where the spear and the Fiery Divine Halberd clashed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Both of them involuntarily stumbled backward.

Zhang Yi retreated by hundreds of thousands of kilometers, while Yan Di retreated by tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Huh?" Yan Di's eyes widened as he looked at him in shock. "The strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe?"

"You have third-tier strength?"

He simply couldn't believe it.

He knew Zhang Yi's detailed information very well; Zhang Yi was another unparalleled genius of the human race after him. In just ten thousand years, he had become the master of the universe.

In the previous battle of the Origin Palace, Zhang Yi's strength was only close to that of a second-tier Universe Lord. How many years has it been since then? He has created the strongest secret technique of a Universe Lord and possesses the strength of a third-tier Universe Lord.

"You, Zhang Yi, created the strongest secret technique of the universe's ruler, and you've been hiding it all this time!" Lord Youhou, recovering from his shock, came to Zhang Yi's side and deliberately shouted angrily.

"Lord You, you didn't ask me this before," Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Lord Youhou was taken aback, as if he had indeed not asked before.

However, you can't blame him for this. Who would have thought that Zhang Yicai, after only a short time as the Lord of the Universe, would be able to create the strongest secret technique for the Lord of the Universe?

You must know that it took him countless eons, and countless hardships under the guidance of his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, to create it.

But Zhang Yi, in less than a hundred years, quietly created it.
