Chapter 362 Immortal Thought, Tears of Time
The five cosmic venerables met briefly, had a simple conversation, and formed a rather unstable temporary alliance.
Both major clans have issued orders to find Ye Yang, who has shown his presence in the Chenya Secret Realm, and then keep him occupied!
According to the latest intelligence, Ye Yang has recently advanced to the Immortal realm, and his strength may already be comparable to that of a Universe Venerable. Therefore, the orders from the higher-ups of the Demon Race and the Mechanical Race are that their ordinary and high-level Universe Venerables should simply entangle and delay him.
These old guys who have lived for countless epochs know very well that a genius like Ye Yang, who has just broken through to become an immortal, will definitely have an eagerness to prove himself!
Therefore, if it's just a matter of entanglement and delay, given Ye Yang's style of doing things, he definitely won't immediately self-destruct his clone; instead, he will risk continuing the fight.
Meanwhile, a cosmic overlord of the demon race, who was extremely skilled in soul attacks, was exploring the Chenya Secret Realm. He was not in the "Liangyun" area, but he had already arrived via teleportation from the divine kingdom.
Therefore, as long as Ye Yang is kept from leaving, when that cosmic overlord arrives, even if he cannot completely destroy all the clones through soul erosion and penetration, he can at least make Ye Yang lose one clone, which is not a loss.
The cosmic venerables of the demon race and the mechanical race, who were exploring the Chenya Secret Realm, reached an agreement to share Ye Yang's location information. Then they scattered and continued to wander in the "Bright Cloud" area, searching for the treasures that flew out from the center.
They only explored the outermost area of the middle layer of "Bright Cloud".
The interior of "Bright Cloud" is extremely dangerous. The deeper one explores, the greater the chance of encountering powerful light attacks. These lights are formed from strange energy condensed from the unique environment of this cosmic secret realm, containing profound mysteries of the laws governing light and time, and possessing immense power. At its deepest point, even cosmic overlords riding in palace-like treasures have been blasted into near-accessible depths!
Only a few cosmic lords took the time to explore it, bringing out many treasures.
It is said that a batch of treasures is being nurtured inside, but it is not yet fully formed. However, the estimated timeline for successful nurturing has been drawn up and has become common knowledge within the various factions.
Some of those treasures weren't of much interest to even the most powerful beings in the universe, but there were also treasures so precious that even the most powerful beings in the universe would be envious!
It's not worth having a cosmic ruler stay here for long, so only a group of cosmic venerables wander around, waiting for prey to come to them.
According to the gestation timeline, a crystal capable of being refined into a supreme treasure will be born within the next 1000 years, but no one knows exactly which direction it will fly out from when it is born.
Rumble~~
Within the "Bright Clouds," a magnificent palace, approximately 100 kilometers high, was flying at high speed. Although it had been shrunk to its smallest size, it still collided head-on with countless rays of light shooting out from the depths of the "Bright Clouds."
It's as if a high-ranking venerable being is bombarding this magnificent and extraordinary place every moment.
However, the great hall remained completely unfazed by this attack and continued its high-speed flight.
"Hmph, a mere Immortal nobody, and you dare require this Palace Master to take action?"
In the center of the main hall, a fox about 12 kilometers long, with snow-white fur, a small tuft of blood-red fur on its head, and nine huge, fluffy tails huddled behind it, was lazily lying on the bed.
She exudes an extremely alluring aura, mysterious and proud.
"Very well, it's just a matter of waiting in a different place. Liangyun, a treasure will appear in the next thousand years; perhaps I can just manage to get my hands on that crystal."
This giant white fox is none other than the Demon Clan's "Nie Tong Venerable," a renowned master of seduction.
Although it is extremely difficult to enslave souls at the level of a Cosmic Venerable, one can still gain a huge advantage by using charm to distract the enemy in battle or even make them dazed.
Many times, Venerable Ni Tong relied on his terrifying charm to seize opportunities and win in one strike!
Even if she can't severely injure the enemy with a single blow, she still possesses a top-tier palace-type treasure, whose value is in no way inferior to a supreme treasure. She can take advantage of the enemy's momentary lapse in concentration to suppress them directly!
Even if they are also superpowers of the universe, they can at most destroy ordinary treasures and damage some high-level treasures, but they have basically no way to deal with top-level treasures.
Therefore, in her eyes, suppressing and capturing a minor immortal was not a difficult task.
As for the internal discussion within the race about whether or not to ask the Lord of the Universe for help—Venerable Ni Tong even scoffed: "That's too exaggerated~ The Lords of the Universe don't waste their time like that!"
Outside the "Bright Clouds," Ye Yang was flying slowly.
At this moment, he was wearing the top-tier treasure set, the "Ten Extremes Frenzied Beast Armor," so the beams of light from the outside world, comparable to the casual attacks of a beginner-level cosmic Venerable, could not cause him any harm at all.
It didn't even require burning divine power to easily resist it.
It's been over three months since we entered the "Bright Cloud" area, and we haven't seen a single ghost in this vast space.
Ye Yang felt somewhat helpless.
Even if he is currently being searched for by a group of alien venerables, he will at least be keeping an eye on his surroundings while exploring the secret realm.
But after flying aimlessly for so long, we didn't see a single life.
There are many King-level Immortals in the Chen Secret Realm, but there is not a single King-level Immortal in the "Liangyun" area, including the surrounding area.
There are probably no more than 30 Cosmic Venerables exploring the "Bright Cloud" area, and the probability of them meeting each other is extremely low.
And it was during this solitary wandering that he began to continue refining his theory of intermediate True Lord level thinking algorithms.
"The strong individuals on the Devouring World side have some strange variables in their thought models that cannot be incorporated into their frameworks. This phenomenon actually started at the World Lord stage—and it is more obvious in the more talented the strong individual."
Ye Yang gradually discovered a strange set of variables, and soon he found the pattern within them: "So this is the origin of the universe?"
"Consciousness is connected to the origin of the universe. Realm Lords can directly establish this connection, and after achieving immortality, even their divine power is drawn from the ocean of laws."
"The cultivation system on the Devouring World side is tantamount to growing oneself on the primordial universe—as long as one has not yet become a true god, then one is only equivalent to an unborn fetus."
"Before the true god, all life was still part of the original universe. The connection between the realm lord and the immortal is the closest to the origin of the universe. This affects the independence of thought, so there are many unpredictable and unmodelable variables in the thought algorithm."
"These variables actually originate from the very source of the primordial universe —"
Ye Yang tried his best to analyze it, but the final result was only able to separate the Realm Lord's thinking algorithm and core information from this variable.
But once it achieves immortality, it can no longer be divided.
"In other words, the three levels of power—Immortals, Venerables, and Lords of the Universe—who devour worlds cannot exist outside of this world. Once they do, the very foundation of their existence collapses! Their divine bodies crumble, and their minds cease to function—"
Ye Yang couldn't help but frown.
In this way, his plan to create a multi-billion dollar "Empress" persona would not work—no, it's not impossible.
"Perhaps we can utilize the principle of soul resonance to construct a cross-soul consciousness entity. This would allow the soul of an immortal queen to connect with her 100 derivative personalities, and these derivative personalities would then operate on mimicry mycelium—"
Such research is considered taboo in the Devouring World. Whether due to the limitations of thought or the guidance of some kind of will, the strong here always have many dark zones in their thinking.
Just like a race with transparent minds is naturally incapable of lying.
Many of their ideas are things that even the most powerful beings who devour the world would never normally conceive of.
This is also where the advantage of the Star Alliance civilization, which can span across the heavens, lies.
While Ye Yang was still pondering the mysteries of the soul, consciousness, and thought, a ferocious figure gradually appeared billions of kilometers away.
"Huh?!" Ye Yang was immediately jolted out of his reverie and looked in that direction.
As the figure gradually became clearer, Ye Yang could barely make out that it was a powerful member of the Crystal Clan from a distant star region.
The Crystal Clan, one of the six supreme races in the universe, is incredibly united. When a group of Crystal Clan members join forces, their power increases exponentially.
However, at this moment, Ye Yang only had one Crystal Clan expert in front of him.
This powerful member of the Crystal Clan had an incomparably perfect face, with a golden eye between his brows, and his crystal-forged body seemed to be formed from the essence of the universe.
His ferocious armor added a unique contrast to his figure, making him appear even more handsome and majestic.
"You are—human?" The Crystal Clan's Cosmic Venerable stopped a long way off.
Sensing the powerful pressure emanating from Ye Yang, and his ability to stand firmly despite being bombarded by countless rays of light while wearing only a set of battle armor, the Crystal Clan Venerable subconsciously regarded Ye Yang as a Universe Venerable as well.
After all, even with the most precious treasure, it would be extremely difficult for an immortal king to move around outside the "Bright Cloud" area.
"Unfamiliar human cosmic venerable one, I have never seen you in the files before. Are you newly promoted?"
The Crystal Clan Venerable asked in confusion.
"More or less." Ye Yang remained noncommittal, then smiled and said, "I recognize you, Venerable Qi Ling of the Crystal Clan."
"What should I call you?"
"Just call me Minghong." Ye Yang didn't hide his name.
Although he named his descendants "Minghong," the name did not become known throughout the universe.
Just like how many powerful people have heard of the name "Luo Feng", but few people know about "Yinhe".
"Human Venerable Minghong, a Venerable from the Thorn Ring Alliance discovered a treasure in the direction I came from and started fighting with the demon race. Among them are high-level cosmic Venerables, which is beyond our ability to get involved in."
This Crystal Clan Venerable was only a nodding acquaintance of Ye Yang, but he still kindly offered a reminder.
In fact, it's quite normal for powerful beings from factions like the Crystal Clan, who don't have much hatred or conflict of interest with human groups, to occasionally form alliances.
After all, it was just a casual thing, and many friendships start from such small things.
Venerable Qi Ling flew away in another direction, far away. Ye Yang looked back in the direction he had come from and smiled, "What a coincidence!"
"Although I only came to test my skills, why not take advantage of the chance to obtain a treasure so easily?"
He immediately increased his speed and flew in that direction.
Within Ye Yang's World Ring, there are 10 fungal clones that have differentiated into bacterial communities.
Each differentiated microbial community is a mycelial planet with a diameter of 100 million kilometers!
With these 10 fungal planets replenishing his divine power, Ye Yang had no fear of depletion.
Buzz buzz buzz~~
Countless rays of light distorted and rotated wildly around a certain point.
In an unusual spacetime region, hundreds of beams of light, equivalent to the attack power of a high-level cosmic venerable, enveloped the interior. Occasionally, a mysterious silver droplet could be seen through the gaps between the beams.
"Single-Hat Venerable! Your Thorn Ring Alliance only has four Cosmic Venerables in the Chen Secret Realm, and now two of them are here—"
"Here, not only do we demons outnumber you, but we also have a cosmic overlord nearby!"
"If we back down now, I can pretend that what happened before never occurred."
The leader of the demon race, whose physique resembled that of a rhinoceros, spoke in a deep, resonant voice, exerting immense pressure.
This caused the two Cosmic Venerables from the ordinary races of the Thorn Ring Alliance opposite to show expressions of fear.
"Venerable Qingji, we discovered this Tear of Time first. Even if we give it to your demon race, shouldn't we at least offer some compensation?"
The Venerable One with the Single Hat gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Um?"
The three Venerables from the demon race all frowned and looked over coldly.
"Still don't you understand what I mean?" Qingji's voice was displeased. "If you keep arguing, you're dead!!!"
Both of them were pale-faced, especially the powerful figure behind the Single-Hat Venerable, whose aura was weaker than that of a typical low-level universe venerable. Clearly, he had lost a portion of his divine body and suffered a loss in the battle just now.
"Du Mao, let's give up. You've already repaid the favor this time, and we have no other choice."
The Venerable One with the Single Hat frowned, and in the end could only sigh, slowly retreating with his friend.
"Hmph~"
The demons, including Venerable Qingji, revealed expressions of either pride or disdain before focusing their attention on the ball of light.
"As agreed beforehand, I will collect this tear of time," and then distribute 10% of its value among your races," said Venerable Qingji.
The other two demons had no objections, and then they saw the Azure Thorn Venerable begin to collect the treasures.
The powerful beams of light struck the Azure Thorn Venerable's hoof and claw armor, causing him to sway slightly.
Without burning divine power, it is not easy to wear down these powerful rays; it requires a long and painstaking process.
However, not long after they began collecting the items, they sensed a powerful aura approaching.
"Who?"
The three demon lords turned their heads in unison and saw a ferocious figure tens of thousands of kilometers tall appear in the distance, its sharp horns and claws terrifying to behold.
Clearly, this is a giant beast with golden horns!
The distinctive golden exterior and claw-like weapon clearly indicated the identity of the newcomer.
"Golden Claw King! It's the golden-horned behemoth avatar of human Ye Yang!"
The Azure Thorn Venerable immediately perked up, quickly sealing off the space and saying to a Venerable of the avian race beside him, "Quick! Catch up with him and engage him! We've encountered a big fish!"
The Venerable One of the Flying Bird Clan, who was considered the most skilled in speed among the demon race, immediately transformed into a streak of light, braving a barrage of rays of light as he charged toward the giant beast Ye Yang.
"You stay here and guard the Tear of Time," I will go and suppress that human. Venerable Qingji did not forget to leave a companion to guard the treasure, while he himself followed closely behind the Venerable of the avian race.
At the same time, they also notified Venerable Ni Tong through the information channels of the demon race.
"Hahahaha—today is truly a double celebration!" Qingji laughed heartily.
Seeing the two demon clan venerables rushing towards him so eagerly, Ye Yang also felt excited.
He turned and fled, but strange scales and patterns made of divine power quickly appeared on his body.
