Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 242 The Strongest Universe Master in History

"I got a rare item."

Qi Yuan scooped up the black divine wood in his hand.

The moment he touched it, he felt a slight heat coming from his palm. At the same time, a unique aura, extremely vast and faintly alluring, instantly appeared in his senses.

"This is the substance that originated from the Origin Continent? It certainly feels somewhat special."

However, being on the battlefield at the moment, Qi Yuan did not have time to study it further.

He directly stored the black divine tree into his world ring, and then looked at the Black Universe Founder who had approached him.

At this moment, the Black Universe Founder was less than ten million kilometers away from Qi Yuan. Its black armor floated in the spatial interlayer, and within the black armor, clusters of dazzling golden flames continued to rise.

The Black Universe Founder's enormous fiery pupils were fixed on Qi Yuan's direction, his voice filled with solemnity:
"Your words become law, and even the rules of the universe yield to them. You... you've broken through to become the strongest being in the universe?"

However, he immediately exclaimed again, "No, you are not the strongest in the universe. Your divine body has not reached the level of the strongest in the universe. Moreover, when facing you, I am still suppressed by the original universe and cannot make the rules of operation retreat. So you are still the master of the universe!"

"How is this possible! Why, why can you, a ruler of the universe, make your words law and cause the rules of operation to regress? Why! This is impossible!"

The golden flames around the Black Universe trembled continuously. At this moment, he was truly unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes!
A cosmic ruler actually used the ability to retreat from the rules of the universe, an ability that was originally only possessed by the strongest beings in the universe!

However, he, the true strongest being in the universe, was suppressed by the primordial will and was temporarily unable to possess such authority. This was completely beyond his comprehension!

"Impossible! I don't believe it! Let me test your strength!"

The Black Universe Founder roared, and the golden flame figure suddenly stretched out a palm, the huge palm striking directly forward.

Boom~~~
Spacetime collapses!

A colossal black hand, millions of kilometers high, shot out through the air, with countless stars faintly rotating within it, as if there were endless stars within.

In just a moment, this giant hand quickly reached above Qi Yuan.

Faced with this attack, Qi Yuan could have used his extreme speed to dodge it directly, but he did not!
Facing the enormous hand crashing down from the void, Qi Yuan also unleashed a palm strike—

whoosh whoosh~~~
On the Blood Soul Armor, twisted shadows constantly floated and rapidly converged towards the right palm.

A massive, dark red hand, also growing to over a million kilometers in size and shrouded in endless shadow patterns, rapidly condensed and crashed directly into the black hand descending from above!
A black palm and a dark red palm, two enormous palms, collided violently.

"Boom~~~"

It was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split open!
An incredibly powerful and terrifying shockwave instantly swept outwards in all directions. Even a huge fragment of space that was rapidly approaching from the surrounding area was directly blown away by this terrifying shockwave!
Some of the most precious treasures that perished after the Lord of Yuan'ao self-destructed were sent flying even further away by the impact.

"Boom~~~"

The two giant hands were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before the dark red giant hand below collapsed first, while the remaining power of the dark giant hand instantly spread throughout Qi Yuan's body through the Blood Soul Divine Armor.

However, thanks to the powerful defense of the Blood Soul Armor, the remaining impact force, apart from causing him to stagger backward, did not cause him any substantial damage.

whoosh whoosh~~~
The collapsed spacetime around them quickly recovered.

Seeing that his all-out attack had failed, the Black Universe Founder stopped attacking and instead hovered in the endless spatial interlayer, his huge fiery pupils fixed on Qi Yuan.

His palm strike just now was the strongest attack that could be unleashed within the primordial universe, yet such a powerful attack did not cause Qi Yuan the slightest damage. There would be no point in him continuing to attack.

More importantly, the human universe master in front of him can actually make his words law and control the rules for his own use, while he himself is restricted by the original will and has temporarily lost such authority. If they were to fight, it is not certain who would have the upper hand. In terms of speed alone, he would suffer a great loss!
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't waste his energy.

"Such strong defense! Is this armor a top-grade, supreme treasure armor?" The Black Universe Founder stared at Qi Yuan, his voice resounding outwards.

He didn't think about the Supreme Treasure Armor. After all, Supreme Treasures are extremely precious. Even if the human race had a Supreme Treasure, it would definitely be given to the Giant Axe Founder first. It would never appear on Qi Yuan.

However, if it's simply about withstanding his strongest attack within the primordial universe, even a top-tier treasure could achieve that level.

Furthermore, Qi Yuan had indeed only activated the Blood Soul Divine Armor to unleash the most powerful fifth-tier energy, which is why he made this guess.

"The founder of the Black Universe has keen insight."

Qi Yuan readily admitted to it, following his words; naturally, he had no need to proactively reveal his own trump card.

"Can you tell me how you managed to make the rules of operation give way?" The voice of the Black Universe Founder was filled with endless curiosity.

The fact that a ruler of the universe possessed a special ability that was originally only available to the strongest beings in the universe naturally aroused his curiosity and shock, compelling him to want to understand the secrets behind it.

However, Qi Yuan smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Hehe, the founder of the Black Universe is joking. How can such a trump card be revealed so easily?"

"Hehe, okay, okay, okay."

The Founder of the Black Universe gazed in Qi Yuan's direction for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Humanity has produced an extraordinary universe master! With this ability, you are worthy of being called the strongest universe master in the history of the entire primordial universe, and even the entire cosmic sea!"

"After all that work, I ended up empty-handed, haha, Human Fate Master, I'll remember you, we'll meet again someday!"

The Black Universe Founder gave Qi Yuan one last deep look, then turned around without hesitation and flew quickly towards the direction of leaving the spatial interlayer.

As for the treasure left behind by the Lord of Yuan'ao, the fluttering fragments of the silken diagram, he couldn't be bothered to take another look.

In his view, those things were not even as interesting as the formidable strength that Qi Yuan had revealed.

"My old friends, I've discovered something truly remarkable." On his way out, the Black Universe Founder couldn't contain himself and began contacting other familiar, powerful beings in the universe.
In the spatial interlayer, while the cosmic lords of various major forces were vying for the fragments of the Puzzle Diagram, they were also constantly monitoring the movements of the entire battlefield.

From the self-destruction of the Lord of Yuan'ao to Qi Yuan's instantaneous burst of power to seize the black divine wood, and then to Qi Yuan's collision with the Black Universe Founder, the entire process was extremely brief, almost happening in an instant.

However, this incredibly brief yet breathtaking scene was still captured by the surrounding cosmic lords.

In an instant, a huge uproar was stirred up in the hearts of those universe lords!

"What? That...that speed of the Lord of the Strange Fate Pavilion?"

"Words become law, complete control over a universe, even the rules of operation must yield. The strongest being in the universe, has the Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion broken through to become the strongest being in the universe?"

"The rare item has fallen into the hands of the Master of the Mysterious Fate Pavilion!"

"The Black Universe Founder, even the Black Universe Founder couldn't suppress him, so he retreated directly?"

"The Founder of the Black Universe claims to be the strongest cosmic ruler in history, or perhaps the ruler of the universe?"

"My God, how is this possible?"

The lords of the universe watched this scene in utter astonishment, their shock beyond words!
Although the strength of the strongest beings in the universe is limited in the original universe, several such as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, the Lord of the Golden Horn, and the Lord of the Demonic Eyes are confident that they can briefly entangle one of the strongest beings in the universe.

However, being able to entangle and being able to confront the enemy head-on are two different concepts!

What surprised them even more was that the owner of the Strange Encounter Pavilion actually displayed a power similar to the universe's strongest being's 'words become law'. The significance of this was what they were really concerned about!
"How is that possible? How many years has the Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion cultivated before he directly broke through to become the strongest in the universe?"

"No, no, even when the Black Universe Founder faced the Lord of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion, he was still constrained by the rules of operation. That Lord of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion was not the strongest being in the universe! The Black Universe Founder himself confirmed this!"

"If that's the case, then it's even more terrifying. A cosmic ruler can make his words law, while the strongest being in the universe would still be restricted by the rules of operation if he attacked him. In that case, who in the primordial universe would be his match!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Report! We must report immediately!"

Each lord of the universe immediately reported to the strongest being in their respective universe.

A fifth-order universe master and a universe master who can make their words law are two completely different concepts.

In the same primordial universe, the former could at most survive against the strongest being in the universe, while the latter could almost be regarded as a true strongest being in the universe!
In some ways, he is even more troublesome than the strongest being in the universe!
When the strongest beings in the universe attack the rulers of the universe or the venerable ones of the universe, they are still subject to the restrictions of the universe's operating rules. However, Qi Yuan himself is the ruler of the universe, so he is not subject to such restrictions.

In this way, the combat power he can unleash is absolutely terrifying!

Meanwhile, Luo Feng, who also belonged to the human race, was deeply shocked.

He had previously thought that once he broke through to the level of a Universe Lord, with the help of the supreme treasure, the Star Tower, he might become the first sixth-order Universe Lord in the history of the Primordial Universe.

However, seeing the sudden outburst of the Master of Extraordinary Fate, he felt that being a sixth-order universe master was not something to boast about.
Despite being at the level of a master of the universe, he can make his words become law, face the strongest beings in the universe without any harm, and even subtly suppress them in certain aspects. This unprecedented achievement is something even the Chaos City Lord teacher could not accomplish. This is true power!
At this moment, Luo Feng felt immense respect for this fellow clansman, the Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion!
This is a goal that I need to work incredibly hard to catch up with and even surpass!
Amidst this utter shock, he suddenly heard that person's voice transmission in his mind—

"Luo Feng, the Flaming Sand Cup of the Lord of Yuan'ao is flying towards you. It's a top-tier domain-type treasure, extremely valuable. I'll use my treasure domain to assist you and try to capture it!"

"The Flaming Sand Cup?"

Luo Feng's gaze swept across the scene and immediately locked onto the rapidly flying golden flame sand cup.

"Okay, I understand!"

With a flap of his four wings, he immediately charged toward the direction where the flaming sand cup was located.

But at this moment——

"Humans, get out of our way! The treasure is ours!"

In the void, a huge black wolf was staring at Luo Feng from afar.

Rumble~~~~
Extremely dreamlike colorful threads instantly appeared in the endless void, spreading in all directions and beginning to collide with the Thunder Sea Domain.

However, with the blessing of the Golden Kingdom, the power of the Thunder Sea Domain has reached the pinnacle of the domain-type treasures, and is extremely close to the strongest domain-type treasure.

Despite the constant collisions, they were unable to shake the almost omnipresent ocean of lightning.

"Damn it, such a powerful domain! Demon, come help me, let's give it our all!"

Black Sirius roared loudly.

"it is good!"

Hua Hua Hua~~~~
Suddenly, the ugly Demon Lord let out a sharp cry, and black vines shot out from his entire body.

In an instant, a vast expanse of black vines appeared, with a total of 81 black vines spanning the sky and crossing tens of millions of kilometers, directly attacking Luo Feng.

Even the Thunder Sea Domain only slightly reduced the speed of the black vines, but could not completely restrain them.

"Does the Dream Ancestor Domain also possess the Demon Island Vine, a top-tier psychic weapon?"

"You demons, how dare you provoke me!"

Luo Feng, who was under siege, turned cold and an incredibly vast chaotic world instantly took shape!
