Chapter 2052: Plotting, Cosmic Crystal

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Congratulations, Senior Brother!" Finally, Fifth Junior Brother Jin Yuan bent over and saluted, appearing respectful.

The gaps within the Heavenly Dao Realm are vast.

Every advancement in turn increases the power tenfold, equivalent to a major realm in the Immortal Realm.

And Senior Brother Qingyuan, whose combat power in the same rank is more than double that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, seems weaker than Jin Yuan with triple strength of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, but after advancing one realm, he can achieve a reverse crush.

"Fifth Junior Brother, are you stuck at the peak of the First Turn? If so, then devour and refine Ye Feng’s corpse; by that time, you will certainly be able to break through."

Senior Brother Qingyuan smiled and said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for making it possible." Fifth Junior Brother Jin Yuan hurriedly expressed his gratitude, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to continually suppress Senior Brother Qingyuan again after refining Ye Feng and advancing to Second Turn Heavenly Venerable.

"Hahaha, no need to be polite!" Senior Brother Qingyuan looked at Fifth Junior Brother Jin Yuan with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. How could he not understand the other’s thoughts with his wise yet seemingly foolish demeanor?

However, for the sake of the sect, he didn’t want to say more.

After all, Fifth Junior Brother Jin Yuan’s talent is the highest in the sect, even surpassing that of the Master, and can go further in the future. He is the hope of the sect.

For some small matters, Qingyuan would endure.

"Devouring Ye Feng? Truly enviable!" Silver Eyebrow Venerable couldn’t help but lick his lips.

Cultivation relies on talent.

After advancing to the Heavenly Dao Realm, no physique can keep up with enlightenment being more important. The higher the enlightenment, the further one can go.

"With Ye Feng’s super enlightenment, if he hadn’t embarked on the path of cultivating his inner universe and limited his cultivation level to the peak of the Ninth Turn Heavenly Venerable, he would have had the potential to advance beyond the Heavenly Venerable in the future."

Silver Eyebrow Venerable muttered.

"Above Heavenly Venerable?!!"

Qingyuan, Baiyuan, Jinyuan, and others all took a deep breath and looked at Silver Eyebrow Venerable.

"Is Ye Feng’s enlightenment really that strong?"

The three asked in unison.

"It should be this way. Although this person is merely a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, his enlightenment seems to rival that of a Heavenly Venerable. If he waits until he breaks through to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable or Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, won’t his enlightenment be even stronger? It’s simply terrifying! Moreover, this person seems to have the legendary Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree."

Silver Eyebrow Venerable quickly said.

"What, Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree!!"

The three Qingyuan were shocked again.

In the Origin of All Things, heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can enhance enlightenment are all in great demand. If people knew that Ye Feng possessed a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, even many Heavenly Venerables would be willing to contend personally.

"Yes, I have seen Ye Feng take out many leaves from the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, but it seemed to be still in the mature period." Silver Eyebrow Venerable said.

He did not know that the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree had now entered the metamorphosis period.

If he knew, he would certainly be shocked.

Qingyuan and others became increasingly excited upon hearing this.

"This must be kept confidential!"

"First capture Ye Feng, then force out the whereabouts of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, find this item, and when Master comes out of seclusion, we gather the entire sect’s strength and can surely cultivate the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree."

"Yes, with this item, our sect can flourish, cultivate more Heavenly Venerables, and it will not be difficult to become a main force within the Abyss Clan in the future."

Qingyuan and others discussed passionately.

Now, the Primordial Divine Mountain, stretching billions of miles, where they were located, is the stronghold of the Abyss Clan within the Origin of All Things, with several Heavenly Venerables stationed, and the strongest one is said to be close to surpassing the Heavenly Venerable.

And their master, although also a direct line of the Abyss Clan, even after breaking through, is only at the Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable level, barely considered a high-ranking member of the Abyss Clan.

But, not the top-level.

However, if they could obtain the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree and further cultivate it to the peak stage, then through continuous transformation, becoming the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, it would definitely gradually enhance their enlightenment beyond that of the Heavenly Venerable.

Surpassing the Heavenly Venerable is just a matter of time.

"Ah, hahaha!"

"Once we can break through to beyond the Heavenly Venerable, the entire Abyss Clan will be within our grasp; those major forces around will also have to fear us."

"Beyond Heavenly Venerable... tsk tsk!"

Qingyuan, Baiyuan, Jin Yuan, upon thinking of the legendary realm above the Heavenly Venerable, immediately became immensely excited.

In the Origin of All Things, being a Heavenly Venerable is essentially establishing a firm foothold, but it’s just having a foothold, can open a Dao Sect, and not be oppressed by other Heavenly Venerables. As long as one does not cause trouble, life is comfortable.

However, Heavenly Venerables cannot live freely.

Being above Heavenly Venerable is different.

At that realm, one becomes a local overlord across the entire Origin of All Things. Whether founding a sect or joining top forces, excellent treatment as an offering can be achieved.

Such people live very carefreely.

As for even higher realms, that’s not something Qingyuan and others dare to think about. That’s already the top existence in the Origin of All Things, to advance further is to reach the peak.

Unfortunately, no one could advance further.

Among heaven and earth, there are only those few people who can step into the pinnacle and become ruler-level existences. Aside from them, no one can step into the peak.

It’s as if the hierarchy has solidified.

No matter how hard other top powerhouses strive, they cannot become new peak powerhouses.

Thankfully, these few peak powerhouses are all very reclusive, don’t step outside, and have no interest in competing for fame or profit. Otherwise, no one would be able to contest them.

"What do you say, besides that pinnacle existence who controls the Cosmic Sea, where are the other few now?"

Silver Eyebrow Venerable cautiously inquired.

"Shh!"

"Do you have a death wish?"

"Whether it’s that one who controls the Cosmic Sea or the other few pinnacle existences, they’re not something we can discuss privately. Even just thinking of their names would invite karma. Unspeakable, unspeakable!"

Qingyuan glared with his eyes wide, lowered his voice and shouted.

This made Silver Eyebrow Venerable swallow hard, realizing he was out of line.

The one of the Cosmic Sea is one of the pinnacle existences in the entire Origin of All Things, has reached a level where he can easily modify the rules of the Origin of All Things, even the top powerhouses dare not be impudent in front of that existence, not even daring to talk back.

"Alright, let’s skip this topic. Next, let’s prepare the formation, send the Soul Fragments with enough Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons to the Cosmic Sea."

"Alright."

Everyone promptly got busy.

An hour later.

In an underground cave mansion.

Senior Brother Qingyuan, Second Senior Brother Baiyuan, Fourth Disciple Silver Eyebrow Venerable, Fifth Junior Brother Jin Yuan arrived here, making various modifications to an altar.

On-site are three Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Having lived for countless ages, their expertise in formations is very high. Coupled with Heavenly Venerable level enlightenment, and various top-notch materials accumulated over daily life, forming a formation is naturally not difficult, it was soon finished.

"Commence the descent to the Cosmic Sea."

Senior Brother Qingyuan formed seals with both hands, pointed his right index finger at his brow, and forcefully pulled out a wisp of the soul fragment, which merged into the dodecagonal altar before him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The other three also followed suit, choosing to send their soul fragments into it.

"Fourth Senior Brother, you’re barely at the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Realm, you can personally descend to the Cosmic Sea, why not choose to continue going over?" Fifth Junior Brother Jin Yuan smiled.

"It’s too dangerous!" Silver Eyebrow Venerable jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Alright, the Cosmic Sea over there is too dangerous, even Third Junior Brother Hong Mei has been killed, Fourth Junior Brother Silver Eyebrow has no need to personally descend, having a soul fragment go over to lead the way is enough. If there’s any mishap, we couldn’t explain to Master." Said Senior Brother Qingyuan.

"Oh." Fifth Junior Brother Jin Yuan shrugged.

"Thanks for understanding, Senior Brother." Hearing that he didn’t have to personally descend, Silver Eyebrow Venerable felt as if he was granted amnesty.

"Alright, continue dispatching the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons. Recently, I’ve refined five sets of Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level battle armor and several special divine weapons all sent over, enough to counter Ye Feng’s Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array."

Senior Brother Qingyuan flicked his sleeve.

More than a dozen azure lights flew out, merging into the dodecagonal altar in front of them, causing waves of law fluctuations.

"Rise!"

As Qingyuan, Baiyuan, and Jinyuan, the three Heavenly Venerables exerted their strength simultaneously, the four’s soul fragments absorbed the origin substances of the Origin of All Things, swelling infinitely, reaching the maximum they could withstand, then wrapped around more than a dozen Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons, transmitted through the altar to the Cosmic Sea.

In a small courtyard.

The Invincible Old Man was drinking tea.

Whoosh!

A wisp of thread of light drifted in, merging into the Cosmic Ancient Tree in the yard, causing no fluctuations.

"Yo, arrived rather quickly."

The Invincible Old Man continued sipping his tea; he had long foreseen this event but chose not to intervene. This was destined to befall the Cosmic Sea’s fate, and he did not want to interfere, for fear of drawing the attention of those rivaling opponents, which might expose Ye Feng’s existence.

"Young fellow, let’s see if you can withstand it!"

The Invincible Old Man smiled slightly.

Whoosh!

At this moment, another strand of light floated over, merging into a leaf of the Cosmic Ancient Tree.

"Oh, someone else is coming, this is going to get even more lively. Kid, your pressure just increased!"

He chuckled.

He had no intention of helping Ye Feng. Geniuses need to endure trials and hardships; as the saying goes, without enduring bone-chilling cold, how can the plum blossoms smell so fragrant?

Struggles, if they don’t crush a person, will force him to grow up quickly and mature.

...

The boundless Cosmic Sea.

The Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan.

This place had already been bathed in blood by the Abyss Demon Army, building numerous Blood Pools to breed more Abyss Demon soldiers, then offer sustenance to the four Heavenly Kings.

Crackle!

A divine thunderbolt struck down, only to be torn apart by a metal claw, unable to harm it in the slightest.

Soon after, four figures soared into the sky, precisely the four Heavenly Kings under the Master of the Abyss.

They had successfully broken through.

Each one was a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

"My Lord!"

The four Quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level Abyss Demon Heavenly Kings, Qing, Hong, Zi, and Huang, knelt down together, paying great homage to the powerful figure before them, the Master of the Abyss.

"Very good, you’ve all broken through, now our cultivation level has reached the limit of the Cosmic Sea, unable to advance further. It’s time to invade the major universes, to obtain more Cosmic Dao Origin Crystallites. Once we accumulate enough, we can all break through to Heavenly Venerable."

The Master of the Abyss spoke coldly.

His combat power was immense, reaching thirty times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme. That, once he broke through to Heavenly Venerable, crushing ordinary newly ascended Heavenly Venerables would not be a problem. Coupled with his four Heavenly Kings and vast army, encountering a Third-Turn Heavenly Venerable would still allow for a battle, or rather... an escape.

Establishing a foothold in the Origin of All Things was not difficult.

"Hehehe!"

"Finally ready to invade the universe."

"My Lord, from which universe shall we begin? Should we directly assault Universe 426?"

The four Heavenly Kings grinned ferociously.

"No," the Master of the Abyss waved his hand, "though I want to suppress Ye Feng and occupy Xue Rongqing, reason tells me that it’s not wise to become enemies with Ye Feng now; we should invade other universes to collect resources from there."

With that, he entered the treasure house of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan.

Stored here were many Cosmic Crystals.

Unfortunately, they were all at the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable level; after fusion, they could only nurture a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

As for Quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level and Heavenly Venerable-level Cosmic Crystals, they would either be refined by the controllers or sent to the Origin of All Things to be digested.

The Bronze Holy Temple was the same.

At most, there were Half-Step Heavenly Venerable-level Cosmic Crystals.

"So, are we just going to let Ye Feng go?" Red Demon Heavenly King clenched his fists, unwillingly.

"No matter, send out part of the forces to attack those two Outer Domain Battlefields, most of the troops will follow me to invade the nearby universes."

With that said, the Master of the Abyss began to move.

One sea region.

Boom!

The Master of the Abyss landed heavily, and the sea waves churned, revealing three vortices, each corresponding to one universe, one Middle Rank Great Universe, and two Lower Rank Great Universes.

"Kill, directly blow up the universe."

The Master of the Abyss coldly ordered.

"Yes." The Red Demon Heavenly King and Green Demon Heavenly King each led a million-strong army into the two Lower Rank Great Universes, wantonly slaughtering the living beings within.

On the other side.

Crack!

The Master of the Abyss personally tore apart the barrier of that Middle Rank Great Universe and led ten million soldiers to charge in.

"You will face heavenly retribution!"

Feeling the terrifying aura of the Master of the Abyss, the awareness of this universe, comparable to a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, immediately rolled in with Law Fluctuations in an attempt to block him.

"An ant trying to topple a cart!"

The Master of the Abyss remarked disdainfully, wielding the metal longsword which easily sliced through the law fluctuations. Then he waved a signal, and his ten-million-strong army charged out, slaughtering the beings of this universe as if entering an uninhabited land.

"Damn the Outer Realm Evil Spirits!"

The beings of this universe roared, self-destructing their bodies just before death, but they couldn’t kill the Abyss Demon Army, and could only die in endless despair.

"All Outer Realm Evil Spirits should die!"

This Middle Rank Universe’s consciousness went berserk, directly detonating the cosmic backup energy core, causing the entire universe to compress to the extreme, then explode.

Boom!

Brilliant beams of light radiated, penetrating thousands of Abyss Demon soldiers, causing them to die, even the Master of the Abyss was blown back thousands of meters.

"What a pity!"

The Master of the Abyss dissipated the mist and appeared in a patch of darkness; he hadn’t expected this universe to self-destruct directly. Tough of them indeed.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, he noticed a shining crystal in the deeper mists, containing cosmic origin and various laws, comparable to a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

"An unexpected delight."

The Master of the Abyss smiled, although he hadn’t obtained a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level Cosmic Crystal, obtaining a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable level was still good for nurturing one.

Om!

As the Master of the Abyss grasped this Cosmic Crystal, the surrounding mist quickly dissipated, and he walked out of a water curtain, returning to the sea surface of the Cosmic Sea.

"Rebirth!"

He spat out numerous fragments, remnants of scales from his Abyss Demon soldiers, kept hidden within himself. As long as he didn’t die, his Abyss Demon Army could continuously regenerate.

Whizz whizz whizz!

In the blink of an eye, one by one, Abyss Demon soldiers reappeared on the sea surface; his million-strong army remained untouched.

"While I live, the army remains eternal."

The Master of the Abyss grinned maliciously.

Soon, the Green Demon King and Red Demon King also returned from their campaigns after breaching a Lower Rank Great Universe each, but failed to obtain even a single Cosmic Crystal.

"My Lord, we have failed."

The two Heavenly Kings knelt to apologize.

"It’s alright, Cosmic Crystals are difficult treasures to acquire. Sometimes breaking a hundred universes might not yield a single one. Now, let’s continue invading other universes, first nurturing the army."

The Master of the Abyss launched another assault.

Elsewhere, Outer Battlefield Area One and Area Two.

The Purple Demon Heavenly King and Yellow Demon Heavenly King, each commanding a million soldiers, invaded these battlefields, occupying the Misty Holy Sect’s disciples and the strong warriors from the universes.

Of course, these two Heavenly Kings did not enter the fight.

They were overseeing the battle from the field’s periphery, keeping their true bodies safe from harm.

In the Cosmic Sea, above one sea region.

A strand of light fell there, transforming into four towering figures: Senior Brother Qingyuan, Second Senior Brother Baiyuan, Jin Yuan, and Venerable Hong Mei.

"Finally returned."

The Silver Eyebrow Venerable’s Law Soul Fragment scanned the area coldly, eyes filled with resentment.

"Master of the Abyss, just you wait!"

He gritted his teeth.
