Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

"By breaking away from the human race, I have gained freedom, but my responsibilities have also become heavier." Emperor Yan's eyes were as deep as an endless black hole, immersed in the abyss of thoughts, his fingers still mechanically tapping on the armrests of the throne, and the "tapping" sound was like the countdown drumbeat, beating in this empty hall and also in his own heart.

He is selfish, vicious, stubborn, arrogant... a series of derogatory words can be used to describe him! Even now, the Nine Domain Alliance that he personally created is just a tool for him to reach a higher status. If there is a better choice, he can easily discard it.

“Humph, this Nine Realms Alliance…” He snorted coldly, full of disdain and indifference. “It seems to be prosperous now, with all parties flocking to it and bowing down to it, but in this primitive universe, it is only the second echelon. In the midst of a storm, it can be turned into dust at any time.”

He stood up suddenly, his figure like a towering black mountain, his scales rustling as they rubbed against each other, exuding a murderous aura.

However, there is one thing that he cannot let go of, and it is also his only weakness.

Yan Shen Clan!
"This is my root. My people are carrying on my bloodline and my will. I must not let it be lost!"

Even the most extinct spiritual beasts will not kill their own offspring, let alone Cao Benqi. He can betray everyone, even the hermit who guided and gave birth to him, but he is only worried about the Yanshen clan.

His fiery eyes penetrated the palace and looked at the habitat of the Yanshen clan surrounding it.

He knew every member of the Yanshen tribe who had reached the immortal level, and he could call out their names! Whenever there were ten immortal kings in the tribe, he would personally come down to bestow titles on them and crown them!

wow~~
At this moment, there was a slight movement at the palace gate. A dark shadow quietly sneaked in and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, the spies reported that the demon clan seems to have made unusual movements recently..." The spy's voice trembled slightly. "Your Majesty, please take a look. This is what the spies collected. It does show that the demon clan royal family is gathering near the border!"

Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows and sneered, "We, the Nine Realms Alliance, just had a big fight with the demon tribe. We have been at peace for tens of thousands of years. How could we possibly start a war again?"

Shadow didn't dare to refute, he knelt on the ground with his head down and listened.

But in a flash, a sinister look flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, and he thought to himself: Some time ago, the demons started a war in the human territory, probably to avenge the human giant axe and the insect mother, and mechanically attacked and killed the demon genius Gu You... Then...

"Pass the order down, strengthen the alliance's border defense, and activate all the spies of the demon tribe that are currently bordering the Zerg and Mechanical tribes! Report any suspicious traces of the demon tribe immediately!" Emperor Yan gave the order in a cold voice, and the sound wave was like a sharp blade stirring in the hall, "Although the possibility is one in ten thousand, if the demon tribe rushes towards our alliance, do not fight them for the time being, just retreat! If you dare to disobey, you will be killed without mercy!"

Shadow obeyed the order and retreated like a ghost.

Emperor Yan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his thoughts racing. He didn't have much information at hand at the moment, but based on his billions of years of experience, he was pretty sure.

This should be the demon clan expressing their dissatisfaction with the insect and mechanical clans attacking and killing the masters of other universes.

Most of the time, the thunder is loud but the rain is small. At most, a few more Universe Masters will die, but it won’t even be considered a serious injury...

The sound of heavy footsteps and the rubbing of scales intertwined, and every step seemed to step on the taut heartstrings. The atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn, as if shrouded by an invisible haze.

“Never mind. I believe the demon tribe is not stupid enough to provoke my Nine Realms Alliance. What’s more, the Primordial Star is about to open, and the treasure hunt will last for a thousand epochs. If I’m lucky, I might get two top treasures.” Although he has top treasures, he is not so extravagant as to ignore them. Moreover, as long as he accumulates enough top treasures... maybe he can shamelessly go to the hermit to exchange them for a top treasure in the future... At worst, he can give it to the overlord of the tribe to enhance his strength.

……

Time passes and days go by.

After returning from the Universe Sea, Xu Yang and Lord Ziyun have returned to their respective forces. Although Dongshan City was built casually, it has now gathered many weak tribes of the Nine Domain Alliance and has become a powerful force that cannot be ignored!

“…My Lord, these are all the details of the current situation of our Dongshan City.” Under the throne, an arrogant lord in luxurious robes knelt down and spoke respectfully.

Xu Yang sat upright with a calm expression, and said in a deep voice: "Very good, I was not wrong about you."

Upon hearing this, the arrogant master was delighted. His tense shoulders relaxed a little, but he remained respectful. He quickly said humbly, "Master, thank you for your praise. If you hadn't created Dongshan City, there wouldn't be the current situation. I am just following your plan and doing my best. I dare not take credit for it."

Xu Yang raised his hand slightly, and a gentle force lifted up the arrogant Venerable. His eyes penetrated the hall and looked at the prosperous streets of Dongshan City. There were all kinds of creatures shuttling among them, including the Feathered Tribe with gorgeous wings and lively eyes, the Dwarf Tribe with short stature and skilled in forging, and the Wood Spirit Tribe who could control spiritual plants and were surrounded by a faint halo of vitality. All the weak tribes gathered here, and there was really a scene of prosperity among all races.

"Although it was just a casual act at the beginning, now that Dongshan City has grown to a considerable size, we must manage it well in the future. The various races in the city have different habits and talents, and we must ensure that all races live in harmony. Resource allocation must also be reasonable and fair, and disputes must not be allowed to breed." Xu Yang's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it seemed to carry an unquestionable pressure, echoing slowly in the hall, and every word struck the heart of the Arrogant Venerable.

"Don't worry, my lord. I have already formulated detailed rules and regulations and set up many mediation centers in the city. They are staffed by powerful and respected people from each race on a rotating basis. Any conflicts and contradictions can be resolved in a timely manner. As for resources, they are temporarily distributed according to the comprehensive strength of each race. Later on, they will be allocated based on the contribution. All races are encouraged to exchange their skills and specialties, and the trade fairs are always bustling." The arrogant master straightened his back and reported in detail.

Xu Yang nodded slightly and was about to speak when his expression suddenly moved. He looked up into the sky and saw a dazzling ray of light streaking across the sky like a meteor, and in a moment it landed in front of the main hall of Dongshan City. The light faded, revealing the graceful and capable figure of the Lord of Purple Cloud.

"Well, you step back first." Xu Yang waved his hand.

The Arrogant Master stood up, bent his body and backed away. When he retreated to the door, he bowed to the Lord of Purple Cloud.

"Have you recovered from your injury so quickly?" Xu Yang waved his hand, and suddenly a large throne appeared.

The Purple Cloud Lord was not polite and sat down directly, saying lazily: "It's just some minor injuries. I also borrowed the Origin Treasure from the Everfreeze Lord. The fee is very reasonable and very cost-effective."

The Lord of Eternal Frost has an original treasure in his hand, which is said to increase the speed of absorbing divine power thousands of times. In the past, everyone was not in the same alliance, and if you wanted to borrow it, it was only possible if you had a very good relationship... But now, everyone belongs to the same force, with interests guaranteed, so it is much easier to borrow treasures.

"Well, that's good." Xu Yang nodded. The Purple Cloud Lord looked around Xu Yang's palace and said with a smile: "Dongshan, your palace is well built. The one who just left is your agent, and he seems to be a capable person."

"It's OK." Xu Yang said with a smile on his face. Although the arrogant master was not strong, he had enough courage and decisiveness, otherwise he would not have led the so-called "Five Evil Masters" to join him. This hall was built by the arrogant master with the strength of hundreds of weak tribes in Dongshan City and a series of rare treasures.

Of course there were some conflicts, but on the one hand, this hall was built for themselves, and secondly, it was not too excessive and was within the tolerance of those weak tribes. There were no strong people causing trouble... So Xu Yang naturally turned a blind eye.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. This is a world where power is supreme. If some flatterers who know how to deal with things make good use of them, it will make things easier for you.

"If you like anything, just pick it out and take it." Xu Yang looked around. There were all kinds of scrolls and decorations hanging on the walls of the hall. The styles were varied but not complicated. They had a unique beauty.

"Forget it." The Purple Cloud Lord turned his head and said with a smile, "I came to see you today because I have something important to tell you."

"I guess so, otherwise you'd rather be fishing in your flying boat."

"Hahaha, you still understand me." The Lord of Purple Cloud laughed heartily, very happily. He didn't socialize much, or it could be said that the Lords of the Universe rarely socialize. Most of them only have three or two good friends, and it's good enough to get together for a drink occasionally.

It's so cold at high places.

"The Primordial Star is about to be opened." The Purple Cloud Lord lowered his voice and said solemnly, "You should have been to the Primordial Star before, right?"

How could Xu Yang have never been to the original star? He has only lived for a few years in total. However, his current Dongshan clone is also an old guy who survived from ancient times. It would be unreasonable if he had never been there.

"Of course I have been there, but I didn't get any benefit from it as I was alone."

“That’s right. At that time, you were just a wandering venerable, without any friends to cooperate with you. The most you could do was to pick up some valuable treasures. Unless you were extremely lucky, you would get involved in the fight for the most valuable treasures and be besieged. You would most likely die on the spot.” The Lord of Purple Cloud sighed.

"Haha, but now it's good, you are already the high and mighty Lord of the Universe! Back then, I was just the Lord of the Universe of an idle tribe. As long as I didn't go too far in seizing treasures, no one would make things difficult for me. But now, we are members of the Nine Domain Alliance! More than two dozen Lords of the Universe gathered together, this is a force that cannot be underestimated. Now, even if it is a top-level treasure... if the two of us join forces to seize it, those guys won't bother us!"

There was longing in the eyes of the Lord of Purple Cloud. When he went to the Primitive Star to grab treasures alone before, he did not dare to snatch the top treasures.

Wherever there are people, there are levels and classes.

The highest level of treasures from the Primordial Star is the Peak Treasure, and it is a set, that is, the Peak Treasure that is composed of individual parts. This kind of treasure will only appear once the Primordial Star is opened, and it is usually collected by super powers or powerful lone strongmen.

Below this, there are varying numbers of top-level treasures. The time and place of the birth of each treasure are not fixed. Logically speaking, a second-level universe master like him should also have the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

But it's actually very difficult.

Because every high-level treasure will make a lot of noise when it comes out, unlike the "roadside goods" of the heavy treasures that can be stepped on when walking. The huge noise will attract a lot of attention, unless it happens to be on the original planet where the treasure was born and can immediately recognize its owner, otherwise it will trigger a fierce competition like a fight between dragons and tigers.

Obviously, with 10081 original stars, the Lord of Purple Cloud does not have such incredible luck.

"Join forces?" Xu Yang raised his eyebrows, this was a good idea. Not long ago, he had accumulated another opportunity and performed the [Secret Spell Extraction]. Although he did not draw the 'Special Secret Spell' option, he did draw the 'Strongest Secret Spell'.

The strongest level of secret techniques can be mastered by a few third-level powerhouses, and the vast majority of the rest are fourth-level masters of the universe!
His gene multiplier is now close to ten thousand times, and he has mastered a secret technique of the strongest level. In addition to his most precious treasure, he also has a pair of high-level sledgehammers. He is already the standard configuration of a fourth-level universe lord!
The incarnation of the Lord of Dongshan, without using the secret technique of will, has the strength of a fourth-level Lord of the Universe when burning with divine power!
Enough to conquer the universe!

"Yes, let's go together." The Purple Cloud Lord looked at Xu Yang nervously, half jokingly and half seriously, "Have you made an appointment with someone? Or do you plan to go alone?"

He had a vague sense of Xu Yang's strength. When he escaped from the claws of a fourth-level evil beast before, he saw with his own eyes that Xu Yang had fought the beast head-on several times and still escaped unscathed.

You know, the material of high-level treasure armor is often harder than high-level treasure weapons. His high-level treasure armor was torn apart by a claw of the fourth-level evil beast, while Xu Yang's heavy hammer collided with the evil beast several times, but did not even leave a deep scratch...

The only explanation is that Xu Yang's realm is much higher than his!

Even if he didn't really believe it in his heart, facts spoke louder than words. It was an ironclad fact that Xu Yang was stronger than him.

"How come? Let's go together." Xu Yang said, "But when is the exact time? I don't know yet."

Meng Yaozu naturally knew the time when the Primordial Star would be opened, but the key point was that the clone of Xu Yang's demon clan already had a set of pinnacle treasures, and the Primordial Star would only produce one pinnacle treasure at a time... There was no need to bother with this, so Meng Cha didn't tell him directly.

Xu Yang, who had never experienced this before, naturally would not think of investigating.

"There is still about a thousand years left. I have been paying attention to the opening time. After all, the area of ​​the Original Star is usually very quiet. Apart from the major superpowers who will monitor the fluctuations there, no other strong people will bother to do that." The Lord of Purple Cloud said with a smile.

"But our Nine Regions Alliance can now be considered a powerful force, so we naturally want to get involved and seize the initiative." (End of this chapter)
