Chapter 165 The Killing Intent of the Purple Moon Ancestor

In the days that followed, he immersed himself in the mysteries of the diagrams, constantly trying to understand and learn.

On this day, the Lord of Chaos City suddenly contacted him in the virtual universe, asking him to attend the Giant Axe Conference.

When Qi Yuan arrived at the main hall, he found that all the human universe masters had gathered there.

"Chaos, what is the purpose of summoning us here this time?" Master Peng asked.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin. Here's what happened." The Lord of Chaos began to recount how Qi Yuan obtained the wings of the Wu assassination, and then talked about the deal with the Lord of Peixing.

"Oh? An ordinary treasure, after acquiring another component, actually transformed into a top-tier treasure! And moreover, another component was discovered, which may eventually transform it into a peak treasure, or even an ultimate treasure?!"

All the lords of the universe cast envious glances at Qi Yuan, marveling at his good fortune.

It should be noted that since the Primordial Ancestor, humanity has not possessed a single supreme treasure, and even peak treasures are extremely rare. Many veteran universe lords present do not even possess a peak treasure.

"Qi Yuan, the Lord of Need has finished his seclusion and said he wants to befriend you. I wonder if there's some kind of conspiracy behind this. Universe Lords from the two Holy Lands are always incredibly arrogant, looking down on even the top universe powerhouses. It seems a bit odd that they want to befriend you." The Chaos City Lord spoke, a hint of hesitation in his voice. "However, it's also possible they see your talent, believing you have a chance to become the progenitor of a Holy Land universe, hence their special regard for you and a desire to invest in you in advance?"

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, wondering if the proposed deal had alerted the other party and made them realize the extraordinary nature of Wu Shiyuyi.

Then he thought it was unlikely. The Wu-killing Wings were the pinnacle of Wu's mechanical engineering masterpieces. Each pair of wings that separated was perfect and there was no flaw in them.

If it's not about treasures, then it must be about him personally.

His cultivation speed is definitely no less than that of the original ancestor. Given the temperament of the Purple Moon Holy Land, they would not try to win him over, so they would definitely try to suppress him.

He just couldn't understand how the Purple Moon Holy Land would deal with him. After all, he was still the Lord of the Universe and had clones. Even if one of his clones fell, it wouldn't be too serious a damage to him.

As for soul enslavement, that's even more impossible. With the ancestor of the Purple Moon Holy Land unable to intervene, they have no ability to enslave a universe lord's soul.

"I think it's worth going on this invitation. As long as we can successfully trade the Five-Colored Cloud Wings from the Lord of Need, it's worth taking a risk," Qi Yuan said after thinking for a while. "The worst-case scenario is that I'll only lose one clone. I don't believe they have the ability to make me completely perish. If they had that ability, there would have been a lot of news about it in the Cosmic Sea."

The main reason is that, based on the information in the original work, he did not find any extraordinary methods of the Purple Moon Holy Land. Moreover, even the Cosmic Sea is subject to the constraints of the Primal Universe and cannot use anything beyond the cultivation system of the Primal Universe.

The Lord of Darkness said, "The Purple Moon Holy Land universe has always acted in a mysterious and unpredictable manner. Perhaps they have some unknown means to deal with you. I think it's best to be cautious and not take any risks."

The other cosmic lords also advised him against taking the risk.

What if the Purple Moon Holy Land has some unknown methods?

Qi Yuan is the future of humanity. In their view, Qi Yuan's future achievements are very likely to surpass those of the Giant Axe Founder, and he may even become another Primal Ancestor.

Therefore, they really didn't want Qi Yuan to suffer even the slightest mishap.

The Lord of Chaos nodded. "Your will is still somewhat weaker than that of a veteran universe lord. If they want to deal with you, they should start with your soul. In that case, I'll go alone. The worst that can happen is that I'll have to sacrifice an avatar and lose some treasures."

"Several of us fifth-order universe lords with avatars will also go with you, so we can look out for each other. Moreover, the transaction location will be chosen on the outskirts of the Peak Realm. If they really have malicious intentions, we can simply retreat back to the Primal Universe. I don't believe they can stop us!" said Peng Gong and the other fifth-order universe lords.

"Alright. Let Chaos, Peng Gong, and the others go. I will provide covert support with Darkness. If war truly breaks out, I will let all the races of the Cosmic Sea witness my axe! Even if the Purple Moon Holy Land mobilizes its entire force, I can at least ensure your safe return to the Primal Universe!" The Giant Axe Founder made the final decision with a single blow.

The Giant Axe Founder has always concealed his strength; in reality, his combat power is no less than that of the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan, the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea.

Moreover, although there are many powerful beings in the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, due to the universe's own carrying capacity limit, there are only two of the universe's strongest beings.

Moreover, because their own microcosms had long since decayed, these two strongest beings in the universes were somewhat inferior in strength to most of the strongest beings in the universes.

That's the source of his confidence to say that.

"This—" Qi Yuan didn't expect everyone to be so considerate of him. "Then you all need to be careful. If things get out of hand, your safety is the most important thing."

After the meeting, Qi Yuan left a divine avatar in the Beilan Secret Realm to continue viewing the life gene map, while his human avatar left and returned to the original universe. Then, carrying the "Fortune Origin Tower," he passed through the Toya Black Hole and waited outside the cosmic membrane.

Here, he can unleash his sixth-tier combat power and even use the power of the universe's origin to suppress enemies. It's a perfect place to meet up with human powerhouses.

Within the cosmic sea, a massive microcosm with a diameter of 21 light-years floats amidst chaotic air currents; this is the Purple Moon Sacred Land universe, one of the two great sacred land universes.

Every life that passes by here is filled with awe, reverence, and envy when they look at this vast microcosm.

At this moment, in the highest plane of the Purple Moon Holy Land, the enormous divine tree standing in the center was radiating light.

"The progenitor!"

"The progenitor has appeared!"

"Paying homage to the progenitor!"

The beings in the microcosm were incredibly excited. The two strongest beings in the universe, along with nearly four hundred universe lords and numerous quasi-universe lords, all went to pay their respects.

The so-called Quasi-Universe Master is someone who is capable of breaking through to become a Universe Master, but is stuck because the Holy Land Universe has a limit to its capacity, and thus cannot break through.

Because the Holy Land universe can exist eternally, many of these beings are old guys who have cultivated for more than ten cycles of universe reincarnation.

Such a long period of time is more than enough to develop all of one's potential.

However, the Holy Land universe is only so big, and can only accommodate so many powerful individuals. Each one is like a radish in a hole, resulting in severe class stratification.

A quasi-universe master will only be allowed to break through if a cosmic master falls.

After giving his sermon, the Purple Moon Ancestor asked, "Has anything significant happened in the Cosmic Sea recently?"

The True God of Awakening, who is in charge of the affairs of the Holy Land and the universe, respectfully reported: "Ancestor, nothing major has happened recently."

"If we're talking about something, I wonder if this counts?" He then thought for a moment and continued, "A peerless genius has emerged among the human race in the primordial universe. In just tens of thousands of years, he has become a Universe Lord, and upon breaking through to the Universe Lord level, he killed a Universe Lord of the Zerg! Although that Lord Banff was only a low-level Universe Lord, he is clearly extraordinary. This person's potential is definitely no less than that of the original progenitor!"

"To become a master of the universe in just tens of thousands of years, and even have the feat of killing a master of the universe?" The Purple Moon Ancestor's expression suddenly changed, and her voice became sharp. "Humans, it's humans again! Back then, to lure that 'Primordial One' into a trap, to make him believe that entering the cycle of reincarnation was a conspiracy, we meticulously planned and left some seemingly plausible fragments in the ruins throughout the cosmic sea. How much effort did we expend to bewitch him, to provoke the Primordial Universe, and then to be suppressed? And now, how long has it been! How long has it been!"

Another guy has appeared who's no less impressive than "Yuan"! Tell me who he is, and what his name is!

Seeing the Purple Moon Ancestor lose his composure like this, all the powerful figures from the Purple Moon Holy Land present were shocked and found it hard to understand.

In their view, it's just adding another Holy Land universe at most, so what does it have to do with them? After all, the Holy Land universe isn't unique; the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe still exists, and it's even larger than the Purple Moon Holy Land.

"That old man, the Eastern Emperor, has only so-so potential. He's never been my rival. Only the Primordial One, and this newcomer, are my real competitors! Their talents are even stronger than mine. If they enter the Origin Continent, they're very likely to surpass me and seize control of the Primordial Universe before I do! No, I must eliminate them. No one can stop me from seizing control of the Primordial Universe. The Primordial Universe is mine! Mine!" The Purple Moon Ancestor roared in his heart, his mind flashing with all sorts of crazy calculations.

Possessing the original universe had always been part of his plan; it was a shortcut to becoming a god-king.

He would not allow any living being to pose a threat to his plans.

"The progenitor, his name is Qi Yuan, and his title is Lord of Origin," the True God of Awakening answered cautiously.

"The Lord of Origins? Origins?" The Purple Moon Ancestor's eyes widened suddenly, his heart surging with turmoil. "Is this a coincidence? But for him to become the Lord of the Universe in just tens of thousands of years, such a rapid rise is extremely rare even in the Origin Continent, let alone in this barren primordial universe. So, could he be the legendary reincarnated one?"

Upon realizing this, the Purple Moon Ancestor was immediately terrified.

It should be known that only God-Kings can be reborn; or top-tier Chaos Realm Saints can be reborn with the help of certain top-tier powers.

"Qi Yuan—" The Purple Moon Ancestor muttered this name repeatedly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes. "Whether you are a reincarnated being or a peerless genius rising from the ranks of the natives, those who stand in my way will die!"

"We must nip this Qi Yuan in the bud." He said fiercely to the crowd, his tone filled with unwavering resolve. "At all costs! Do you understand? At all costs!"

Upon hearing the roar of the Purple Moon Ancestor, everyone trembled and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, respectfully accepting the order.

"But Ancestor, how can we eliminate him?" a Universe Lord asked worriedly. "If we use the same methods we used against the Primordial Ancestor, he definitely won't fall for it again. Besides, as far as I know, he has clones; we can't kill him at all. Unless we wait until he breaks through to become the strongest being in the universe, and then devise a plan to lure him into an unknown, perilous place in the cosmic sea, and then ambush and kill him!"

The Purple Moon Ancestor snorted coldly, "That's too long, and there are too many variables. How can you be sure he'll definitely enter that forbidden area? Once he breaks through to become the strongest in the universe, and has the support of the human race behind him, will you still be able to kill him?"

Everyone felt helpless upon hearing this.

Killing a cosmic ruler with an avatar in the cosmic ocean is an almost impossible task.

Unless it's a super strong individual like the Primordial Ancestor who is proficient in soul attacks, but clearly there is no such existence in the Purple Moon Holy Land.

Neither of the two strongest beings in the universe were proficient in soul attacks, and the universe master who was skilled in this was clearly not enough to completely kill Qi Yuan, who was also a universe master.

If you can't withstand it, the opponent can simply self-destruct a clone, making it difficult to encounter them again in the future.

"I left behind a supreme treasure, a trump card. Any life form suppressed within it will have its soul and consciousness suppressed as well. If it's a universe lord with a relatively weak will, they will instantly lose consciousness and become helpless." The Purple Moon Ancestor pondered for a moment, then said, "Take it and suppress Qi Yuan. Once you suppress one of his avatars, you can attack his soul through that avatar, causing all his avatars to perish completely!"

"So the progenitor actually left behind such a treasure!" Juehua Zhenshen's eyes lit up. "Now the only remaining question is whether his soul and will can withstand the suppression."

"That's all we can do. But he only recently broke through to the level of a Universe Lord, so his soul and will shouldn't be too strong." The Purple Moon Ancestor's tone was filled with regret. "It's a pity I couldn't send back the Will-Breaking Treasure I possessed! Alas!"

The True God of Awakening said again, "There is another problem: how to lure him out without alerting him. If we cannot suppress him in a very short time, it will be difficult to find another opportunity in the future if we alert him."

At this moment, the Lord of Need spoke up: "Ancestor, True God of Awakening, the human race has recently been trading with me. I had heard of the Lord of Origin's reputation and intended to befriend him. Why don't we take advantage of this trade to launch a surprise attack on Qi Yuan and catch him off guard? We're sure to achieve great success in one fell swoop."

The Purple Moon Ancestor's eyes lit up. "This is an opportunity. Let's deal with him during the transaction!"

Meanwhile, the Lord of Chaos City and others were already waiting for the arrival of the Lord of Need in the waters outside the Peak Realm.

The Giant Axe Founder and the Lord of Darkness were scouting further afield, confirming that no other universe's strongest beings were lying in ambush nearby.
