Chapter 528 The Guiyi Venerable One, filled with remorse, enslaves the Universe Venerable One!
Although Chu Yang's immortal divine power had reached its limit, he could still use his soul power to unleash the Earth Sword Formation.
With a mere thought, he could use the third level of the Earth Sword Formation, "Prison Suppression," to annihilate the golden-robed man in the Divine Realm, who had already lost nearly 80% of his strength.
Of course, if he does that, then all his scheming will have been for nothing.
After all, Chu Yang's original intention was not to lure in alien spies and then kill them, but to control them and make them his soul slaves.
Earth is currently in need of a guardian to prevent the island's inhabitants from causing trouble, and this man in golden robes is the perfect candidate.
However, since the other party was, after all, the soul slave of a powerful alien race, Chu Yang had to erase the alien race's soul imprint first if he wanted to control him.
It would be most prudent for Venerable Guiyi to handle such matters.
However, if Venerable Guiyi is unwilling to take action, Chu Yang will have no choice but to kill the man in the golden robe.
Because he knew very well that although the golden-robed man had lost nearly 80% of his divine power, even if he reassembled his divine body, his strength would be less than one percent of his peak.
But the problem is...
The opponent only needs a single thought to instantly self-destruct!
By then, you'll have tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
The self-destruction of a cosmic being is absolutely terrifying...
The reason why the man in the golden robe has not yet reassembled his divine body is because he has been affected by the "celestial light".
Actually, it was Chu Yang's surprise attack that caught the golden-robed man off guard, giving him no time to react. That's why he didn't have time to self-destruct and ended up in this situation.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Chu Yang.
Wearing a fiery red battle robe, barefoot and bald, he was none other than Venerable Guiyi.
Venerable Guiyi bowed slightly to Chu Yang and said, "I apologize, Junior Uncle."
He didn't explain much, but that one "Junior Uncle" and the attitude he showed were enough to say a lot.
From this moment on, Venerable Guiyi completely acknowledged Ke Chuyang as his senior uncle, and he was truly convinced of his worth.
Even he, the overlord of the universe, was somewhat shaken by the methods Chu Yang displayed at the last moment.
Venerable Guiyi was certain that it was a power of an extremely high level, but his junior uncle was clearly not yet able to master it perfectly, so the power he could unleash was limited.
No matter how much importance is placed on seniority or how much respect is shown to teachers within a sect, this is ultimately a world where strength reigns supreme.
As the saying goes, talent is not the same as strength. In fact, in the entire sect, apart from the four universe masters, only Liang Wei truly acknowledged Chu Yang as her junior uncle.
But the battle just now made Venerable Guiyi suddenly realize that even though Chu Yang's realm is still low, his strength should not be underestimated!
He knew that Chu Yang had been deliberately suppressing his cultivation level, focusing on comprehending the laws.
He didn't understand the point of doing this, but there was no denying that Chu Yang's foundation would be incredibly solid.
In other words, Chu Yang could step into the realm of a Universe Venerable at any time!
The invincible king can kill a mid-level universe venerable, and even that last blow was probably difficult for a high-level universe venerable to withstand.
Once Chu Yang becomes a Universe Venerable, just how terrifying will his strength be?
Venerable Guiyi had realized that as long as this junior uncle was willing, it probably wouldn't be long before he could catch up with his cultivation level.
By then, I'll probably be able to crush him with one hand!
After all, he had been in Chaos City all along, following the Lord of Chaos City, so he had the most direct understanding of the speed of Chu Yang's laws.
With that kind of heaven-defying speed, he could probably comprehend the fundamental laws of time within a few hundred years of becoming a cosmic sovereign!
At that time...
Wouldn't that directly lead to becoming the master of the universe?
Of course, becoming the master of the universe is not that simple; comprehending the two superior fundamental laws is merely the threshold.
Regardless of the circumstances, Chu Yang's strength and charisma completely won over Venerable Guiyi.
He initially thought the other party was overly ambitious and relied on his protection to boldly display their talent, thus attracting spies from other races.
Now it seems that's not the case at all!
Even without making a move, the other party still managed to kill the mid-level universe venerable who was carrying three top-tier treasures!
Chu Yang simply nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
The Venerable Guiyi disappeared again, then reappeared in the Earth Sword Formation. He raised his hand and suddenly clenched it, and terrifying divine power instantly enveloped the golden-robed man's divine body.
Immediately afterwards, the soul power contained within the divine power of the Venerable One forcibly erased the soul mark used by the alien powerhouse to enslave the golden-robed man.
Venerable Guiyi turned to look at Chu Yang, and said with some concern, "Um... Junior Uncle, how about I control him first, and then enslave him after you recover from your injuries?"
He knew very well how difficult it was to capture and enslave a spy from another race.
These spies are practically suicide soldiers; once faced with a desperate situation, they will self-destruct at the slightest provocation.
If he had just stepped in to help, the end result would probably have been a wasted effort.
Because once a spy from another race is captured and successfully enslaved, it means that the powerful alien behind him will be exposed, and it may even implicate an entire vast network of spies.
Therefore, Venerable Guiyi naturally did not want to kill the man in golden robes, but he could not personally enslave him, since he had not participated in the battle at all; it was entirely Chu Yang's achievement.
If he ends up reaping the rewards, won't he get beaten to death by his teacher when he gets back?
Chu Yang glanced at him speechlessly, his eyes seeming to say...
Why didn't you do this sooner?
Now you're concerned about my injuries?
If Venerable Guiyi had acted sooner, Chu Yang could have cooperated with him, using the time-stopping effect of the Wind Law to add the second layer of the Earth Sword Formation, thus imposing a momentary restriction on the golden-robed man.
Chu Yang knew that with Venerable Guiyi's strength, this instant was enough to shatter the golden-robed man's divine body and completely control him.
Venerable Guiyi touched his bald head and could only laugh dryly. He had always been straightforward, and now that he was completely convinced, he would regard Chu Yang as a senior disciple.
Chu Yang tried to wave his hand, but found that his arm was completely immobile, so he could only say, "No need, my soul power is still plentiful."
Venerable Guiyi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Earth Sword Formation and then at Chu Yang's divine body, which was on the verge of collapse. He was somewhat bewildered.
What the hell is this "abundant soul power"?
Do you want to see how shattered your divine body has become?
Every powerful being above the Immortal level will have their soul, genetic energy, mental power, and physical body completely merged, ultimately forming Immortal Divine Power and condensing into an Immortal Divine Body.
To put it simply, the divine body is the origin of immortal divine power, and every gene cell has been completely fused with the soul.
Therefore, if even the divine body becomes unstable, it means that the source of the immortal divine power is severely depleted, so where does the soul power come from?
Now was clearly not the time for explanations. Chu Yang said nothing more. Countless soul threads emerged from between his brows and then wrapped around the divine body factors of each of the golden-robed men.
At this moment, the golden-robed man's immortal divine power source was only about 20% remaining, which was completely unable to resist Chu Yang's soul power.
In just a moment, the soul imprint had been integrated into the golden-robed man's divine power, meaning that he had completely become Chu Yang's soul servant.
Although Chu Yang had previously consumed a lot of his soul power in order to forcibly merge the Divine Kingdom and the Lingxiao Palace, this consumption was only about 50%.
You should know that his soul power is comparable to that of a Universe Venerable. The remaining 50% is more than enough to enslave a mid-level Universe Venerable whose strength is less than one percent of his peak!
Seeing how easily he succeeded, Venerable Guiyi was once again bewildered, suddenly feeling that this junior uncle had become mysterious.
Those mysterious and powerful methods, as well as that special soul power, were all strange.
After glancing at the golden-robed man who was slowly coalescing and had already taken on a human-like outline, Venerable Guiyi hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and threw out a large amount of cosmic coins.
With the help of these cosmic coins, the golden-robed man's speed of condensation immediately increased, and after a short while, he re-condensed his divine body and his strength recovered to about 50%.
The Venerable Guiyi ignored him and watched as the 108,000 earthen-yellow swords returned to the Lu Ai Sword Gourd. He then quickly came to Chu Yang's side and chuckled:
"Um... Junior Uncle... how about I help you restore your divine body?"
Even now, he doesn't think Chu Yang's injuries are that serious, because as long as there are enough Chaos Units, repairing the Immortal Divine Body is only a matter of time.
Chu Yang shook his head slightly with difficulty, and then said, "No one can help me. My divine body is quite special. Once it is completely shattered, it cannot be reassembled."
Venerable Guiyi was stunned, and then his expression began to change continuously.
If what Chu Yang said is true, then didn't he almost kill this junior uncle before?
Chu Yang added, "My divine kingdom is also quite special, and my soul is equally special."
"You can think of it as me pioneering a completely new path."
"Therefore, unlike other immortal gods, I have no chance to make mistakes. Once my divine body is destroyed, it means my physical body dies."
There are only two ways to kill an ordinary immortal god: one is to forcibly annihilate its divine power source, which can also be called physical destruction.
Another method is to directly attack with the soul, annihilating the opponent's soul essence.
Killing Chu Yang would obviously be much simpler.
Because there's no need to go to great lengths to annihilate his divine power; simply destroying his soul or his physical body would suffice.
But this is only what appears to be simple...
It should be noted that Chu Yang's soul origin is connected to the Soul Palace.
Although the Soul Palace does not provide external protection for his soul, if he were to face a life-or-death situation, Chu Yang could completely separate a wisp of his soul essence and return it to the Soul Palace.
In this way, even if his body and soul are destroyed, he will at least have a chance to make a comeback.
Back on the Zando, the spaceship changed direction and headed straight for the Wulong star system.
This is Chu Yang's true goal for this trip!
If his only goal was to go to the initial universe, he could have simply entered the cosmic passage; why go through all that trouble?
To put it bluntly, he had been waiting for the alien race to send someone, then he would go to the Wulong Starfield to buy Zerg corpses, and finally go to Chaos City.
What he didn't expect was that the alien race would send a mid-level universe venerable directly.
In retrospect, this was actually a pleasant surprise.
On the spaceship, Chu Yang held a world ring in his hand, which was just given to him by Venerable Guiyi, containing a total of three trillion Chaos Units.
This amount of money is nothing to Venerable Guiyi, and even for Chu Yang, it is not a huge sum.
After all, he still had 44 trillion mixed units in his account.
But the advantage is that it's a sum of "cash," which can be used directly to repair the divine kingdom.
Forcibly merging the Lingxiao Palace with the Divine Kingdom will not only backfire on Chu Yang's divine body, but also on the Divine Kingdom that has not yet been opened!
However, repairing the divine kingdom is much easier; it simply requires consuming a large amount of cosmic crystals, which are also known as primordial units.
Throughout the journey, Venerable Guiyi and the man in the golden robe stayed by Chu Yang's side, one on his left and one on his right, both with a hint of guilt on their faces.
The former acted impulsively and failed to help, resulting in his junior uncle suffering such severe injuries.
The latter is because Chu Yang's injuries were all caused by himself.
Soul slaves are like this: no matter how murderous they were before being enslaved, once they are enslaved by a soul, they will submit wholeheartedly, consider their master's needs in everything they do, and have absolute loyalty.
Chu Yang finally opened his eyes when the spaceship arrived at the Wulong Starfield.
Throughout his journey, he continued to heal his injuries and repair his divine kingdom.
At this point, his skin was no longer covered in cracks, and at least on the surface, he did not appear to have suffered any serious injury.
Overall strength has recovered to about 60%, but it will take some time to fully recover.
The unique nature of the Immortal God Body gives him almost no margin for error, and also gives him advantages that other immortal gods do not have.
The most direct manifestation of this is the rapid recovery of injuries and the speed at which immortal divine power is generated, without consuming any mixed units.
However, it must be said that repairing the divine kingdom is a truly expensive undertaking!
When Chu Yang returned the World Ring to Venerable Guiyi, less than 100 billion of the three trillion Chaos Units inside remained.
In other words...
If Chu Yang were to forcibly use the method of merging the Lingxiao Palace with the Divine Kingdom again, he would need to prepare three trillion Chaos Units in advance!
Three trillion at once—even with his vast wealth, he has to be careful…
Keep in mind that this is merely the undeveloped divine kingdom.
Once he further develops or even perfects the divine kingdom, the cost of repairing it after it is damaged will be even higher.
At the same time, Chu Yang also realized a problem...
That is, although his path of cultivating four divine kingdoms has a very high limit, apart from the Golden Divine Kingdom, the other three divine kingdoms are destined to be very expensive!
In short, it's "every inch of land is worth its weight in gold"!
Every step of exploration and improvement requires a large amount of cosmic crystals to fill it!
money!
I'm short of money!
The profits from those one hundred islands are probably far from enough!
Chu Yang had already begun to ponder how to accumulate more capital in the initial universe.
Without a doubt, the two most direct and profitable methods are to refine powerful artifacts and create secret techniques, and then sell them through the Yu Bao Tang or the exchange vault within the Virtual Universe Company.
However, regardless of which method he chooses, he can only begin implementing it after reaching the level of a Cosmic Venerable... (End of Chapter)
