Devouring Star Heart: Illusionary Demon Lord

In the main seat of the hall, the Lord of Chaos City was clad in dark red battle armor, his fiery red horns gleaming slightly. His face, covered with secret patterns, was expressionless, except for his deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the universe.

Having just finished listening to the discussion among the high-ranking officials about the Star Tower Blood Soul King's slaughter of a million alien races and his enfeoffment as king, the Chaos City Lord tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest of the jade throne, nodding slightly as he prepared to finalize the arrangements.

A dark, ghostly light suddenly appeared on his fingertip—this was an urgent email notification from the virtual universe. Only beings at the level of a universe master could send emails of such priority.

He raised an eyebrow and probed the light patterns with his divine sense. His originally calm face instantly showed an expression of disbelief, and the surrounding space was cracked due to the fluctuation of his aura.

The high-ranking officials in the hall noticed the Chaos City Lord's unusual behavior and focused their attention on him, their eyes filled with doubt.

It should be noted that the Lord of Chaos City is the most powerful universe master of the human race. After countless eras of accumulation, he has long since become calm and composed. Anything that could cause him to lose his composure must be extraordinary.

The Lord of Chaos City took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart. The light patterns on his fingertips slowly dissipated. He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over each of the high-ranking members in the hall. His tone carried a hint of barely concealed turmoil: "Everyone, I have just received information that this matter concerns a super genius of our human race. It must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked in the slightest."

Upon hearing the words "strict confidentiality," the high-ranking officials in the hall straightened up, their expressions becoming solemn.

They all knew that the secret that made the Lord of Chaos City take it so seriously must be extremely important, and any leak could lead to unpredictable consequences.

The Chaos City Lord's voice was deep and powerful, each word like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of the high-ranking officials: "The Blood Soul King who recently slaughtered a million alien races and enslaved a large number of top experts in the Star Tower is not some hidden Hong Alliance expert, but the clone of my newly accepted disciple, Wu Qingfeng, a special life form, the Void Flame Soul Emperor clone."

I can't help but blush a little when I talk about this, after all, the Lord of Darkness is a hidden trump card, and those who are not powerful or powerful enough to be the Lord of the Universe would not even know of his existence.

Therefore, Wu Qingfeng is registered under his name.

"What?!" A startled exclamation rang out from inside the hall, instantly plunging the once silent council hall into chaos.

The high-ranking officials were all flustered, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. Several cosmic venerables even stood up, their eyes wide with astonishment.

"City Lord, you're saying Blood Soul King is an avatar of Heart Illusion King? How is that possible!" A cosmic overlord clad in golden armor, with a majestic face, spoke, his voice trembling slightly. "Heart Illusion King is merely a Realm Lord. Even with his extraordinary talent, he couldn't possibly possess such a powerful avatar! Heart Illusion King's title was obtained by defeating Venerables in the Glory World, a place equivalent to a virtual universe. This only proves the level of his fusion technique."

"The Blood Soul King's combat power is comparable to that of a high-level Venerable. He can even slaughter a million Kings and enslave invincible Kings. This is something that a mere avatar of a Realm Lord could not accomplish!" The other high-ranking members echoed, their faces full of doubt and skepticism.

In their understanding, even the most talented Realm Lords could only match the power of a King-level Immortal at best. Reaching the terrifying level of a Blood Soul King was simply a pipe dream. Moreover, Wu Qingfeng was merely a young Realm Lord who had been around for less than five eras. Even with his heaven-defying comprehension of laws and his exceptional talent, he couldn't possibly possess such extraordinary combat power.

It should be understood that a high-level Venerable is generally a billion times stronger than a Realm Lord, and this gap cannot be bridged by secret techniques or genetic levels.

The Lord of Chaos City raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. His tone calmed down a bit, but a hint of shock still lingered in his eyes: "I initially found it hard to believe, but there's no mistake. Wu Qingfeng's genetic level has reached the limit of the Primordial Universe, and he also obtained the clone talent secret technique bestowed by the Primordial Universe Will, which allows him to create three clones. The Void Flame Soul Emperor is one of them, specializing in soul illusion techniques and the Fire-Void Fusion Law. His combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level. In addition, Wu Qingfeng himself has a very deep understanding of the laws, which is why the clone's combat power has reached such a level."

After hearing the explanation from the Lord of Chaos City, the high-ranking officials in the hall gradually calmed down, but the shock in their eyes had not yet subsided.

The perfect genes of the primordial universe, the secret technique of the clone talent, and the combat power of a realm lord comparable to a high-level Venerable—each of these points is enough to overturn their understanding.

They finally understood that Wu Qingfeng's talent was far more extraordinary than they had imagined, and that the Chaos City Lord's decision to take him as a disciple was indeed a sign of exceptional insight.

"Everyone, I don't need to elaborate on the importance of this matter." The Chaos City Lord's expression turned solemn once more, and the oppressive aura around him intensified. "Wu Qingfeng's talent is the hope for the rise of our human race. If it were to be leaked, it would inevitably attract a frenzied assassination attempt from the higher-ups of the alien races, and perhaps even the strongest beings in the universe would personally take action to kill this peerless genius. Therefore, keeping this a secret is of paramount importance!"

The Lord of Chaos City paused for a moment, then continued, "All participants in this meeting are strictly prohibited from revealing that the Blood Soul King is an avatar of Wu Qingfeng. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished as a traitor! At the same time, the investigation into the Blood Soul King's identity is cancelled. The Virtual Universe Company will provide full support to ensure that he grows up as quickly as possible and becomes a pillar of our human race."

"Yes, sir!" All the high-ranking officials in the hall responded in unison, their tone filled with absolute respect. They all knew that Wu Qingfeng had a bright future, and protecting him was protecting the future of the human race. They dared not be negligent in keeping the matter secret.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly and waved his hand: "Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Everyone, please disperse."

The venerable ones rose, bowed, and left the council hall one after another, and the hall returned to silence.

The Lord of Chaos City sat alone on the jade throne, his fingertips stroking the armrests, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes: "Wu Qingfeng is truly a heaven-defying existence. I hope he can grow up soon and lead my human race to the pinnacle of the universe."

The Chaos City Lord's figure vanished, instantly appearing before the Dark Lord's palace.

This palace is hidden deep within the city lord's mansion, quiet and profound.

Beside the stone table in the center of the hall, a dark figure sat upright; it was none other than the Lord of Darkness.

The Chaos City Lord stepped forward without any formalities. The solemnity he had displayed during the council vanished, replaced by undisguised envy. His tone was tinged with emotion: "Junior Brother Darkness, I truly envy you today! You already have a disciple at the level of a Universe Lord, which is something we can only envy. Now you've taken in such a heaven-defying genius as Wu Qingfeng. You're truly lucky!"

The Lord of Darkness raised his eyes, a faint hint of satisfaction flashing in his dark pupils. His tone was calm but could not hide his pride: "Qingfeng is indeed quite good. He has perfect genes from the Primal Universe and is favored by the will of the Primal Universe. His clone's strength is comparable to that of a high-level Venerable. His temperament is also calm enough. He is a promising talent."

"A promising talent? Junior brother, you're too modest!" The Chaos City Lord waved his hand, his tone slightly sour. "A World Lord who has cultivated for less than five eras can have an avatar capable of slaughtering millions of Kings and enslaving countless Kings, his combat power comparable to a High-Level Venerable. Even if you and I were at the same cultivation level, we would be far inferior to that!"

"Our human race has never produced such a heaven-defying existence in countless eras. You've taken in a promising talent who could one day challenge for the title of the strongest in the universe!" He paused, then chuckled, "If you weren't the hidden trump card of our race, and couldn't reveal your identity too early, forcing you to have him nominally under my name, I wouldn't be so fortunate to have such a disciple. You must nurture him well. When he grows up, our human race will have another pillar, and he might even lead our race to new heights."

The Lord of Chaos City then became somewhat worried: "It's just that after his adventures and trials, we need to strengthen our covert protection. Now that his two avatars are famous throughout the universe, there are too many eyes watching him in secret."

The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly: "I have already arranged for Youhou's main battle avatar to return from Qingfeng Realm to protect my junior brother for a period of time. He should be back in about a hundred years. After all, it is inconvenient for me to show myself, so Youhou will secretly protect Qingfeng when he goes out in the future."

The Chaos City Lord nodded in agreement: "Then I have nothing to worry about. From now on, the Virtual Universe Company will provide all the resources Wu Qingfeng needs. To be honest, I really envy you for being able to take on such top-notch disciples one after another. I can't compare to your vision and opportunities."

The Lord of Darkness smiled faintly, saying nothing more. The two sat quietly by the stone table, both filled with anticipation for Wu Qingfeng's future.
