Chapter 412 The Power of the Secret Technique: Making an Example of Someone Else
When Chen Yuan left the area of the No. 11 black-patterned stone pillar and arrived at the area of the No. 12 stone pillar.
"You are the Primordial Lord?"
Two figures blocked Chen Yuan's path. They were humanoid and shrouded in white light.
Upon seeing the white halo behind the two people's heads, and the one-eyed phantom within the halo, Chen Yuan immediately recognized the identity of the person blocking his way.
"The Divine Eye Clan?" Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "What do you intend to do, blocking my way?"
Although Chen Yuan had not obtained information about the major powerhouses of the Cosmic Sea from his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, he could recognize that these two powerhouses were from the Divine Eye Clan, but he did not know their specific titles.
But—with his strength, it didn't really matter if he knew the other party's identity, since judging from their aura, they were just universe lords.
As long as he is a master of the universe, he is at most at the sixth level of strength, which poses no threat to him at all.
Chen Yuan did not act immediately simply to confirm the purpose of the two Divine Eye Clan members.
Although he had roughly guessed the purpose of these two people, it was nothing more than that information about him had been leaked from the mouths of powerful beings in the primordial universe, letting all races in the universe sea know how wealthy he was.
This is normal. After all, the Tower of Primordial Chaos is open to trade with all races in the universe. So, even if the humans don't say anything, the powerful people of other races won't keep his information a secret.
It has been more than a hundred years since the Tower of Primordial Beginning opened. Given the speed at which the Lord of the Universe transmits information, it is estimated that all races in the Cosmic Sea have known about it long ago. However, they have been able to remain at peace because they could not find anyone else.
That's why Chen Yuan avoided everyone in his previous actions, deliberately seeking out sparsely populated areas whether exploring ruins or confronting the Black-Patterned Stone Pillar.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of anyone; he just wanted to focus on his cultivation and didn't want to cause trouble.
But now that his whereabouts have been discovered, Chen Yuan doesn't just know how to avoid those powerful figures with ill intentions.
The reason for not taking immediate action was simply to give the other party an opportunity.
If you retreat now, you might still save your life, but if you remain stubborn—then I'm sorry to say.
These two powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan were unaware of Chen Yuan's plans, but that did not prevent them from knowing that Chen Yuan's strength was indeed as the powerful beings of the Primordial Universe had said—he was merely a Lord of the Universe.
No matter how many treasures a cosmic ruler possesses, their power ceiling is fixed; at most, they can only reach the top level of a sixth-tier O.
With such strength, yet carrying more than ten supreme treasures, and daring to show himself in the cosmic sea, he is like a child carrying gold in a bustling marketplace, attracting the covetous eyes of many powerful figures.
And since the Divine Eye Clan was lucky, they naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Although they did not act immediately out of caution, they had already notified the powerful members of their clan in the vicinity to come and prepare to gather their strength to take down this Primordial Lord.
Before this, their goal was simply to stall until the strongest members of their clan arrived.
"The Primordial Ruler".
One of the powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan smiled and said, "I heard that you opened a Primordial Tower in the Primordial Universe, which contains countless treasures. My Divine Eye Clan has long admired it and has wanted to make a deal with the Primordial Tower for a long time."
"However, Lord of the Primordial Beginning, your whereabouts are unpredictable, and we haven't found an opportunity yet, so we didn't bring the treasures we were going to exchange with us."
"How about this, we sincerely invite you, Lord of the Primordial Beginning, to visit the Divine Eye Clan and trade our clan's treasures with the Tower of the Primordial Beginning."
"If you're worried, I can send someone to fetch the treasure. You'll just have to wait a moment, okay?"
Chen Yuan stared speechlessly at the nonsense spouted by the Divine Eye Clan member. The greed in the eyes of these two was almost overflowing; they didn't seem to want to make a deal at all.
I don't think it's very good.
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly and said calmly, "If the Divine Eye Clan wants to make a deal, the Primordial Tower will eventually arrive in the Cosmic Sea, but not now."
"I still need to cultivate, and I'm not in the mood to waste time with you all."
"If you're interested in the treasures of the Primordial Tower, then you can wait patiently, or perhaps—"
As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them indifferently, "If you can't resist the urge to take action, then go ahead, just remember to think carefully about the consequences before you do it."
Upon hearing this, the two powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan exchanged a glance, and one of them secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "What should we do? We didn't manage to fool him."
"I told you your method wouldn't work."
Another person said, "Even if this Primordial Lord possesses countless treasures, he is still merely a Lord of the Universe."
Even if someone is very strong, their strength is still limited.
"You and I are only at the fourth and fifth tiers, why would we be afraid of a universe lord?"
These words silenced the person who had spoken earlier, but it must be said that his companion's words were indeed reasonable.
Even though the powerful beings of the primordial universe said that the Primordial Lord was powerful and strange, he was still the Lord of the universe after all, and there were limits to how strong he was.
Even if they couldn't defeat a top-tier and a peak universe master, they wouldn't perish, as long as they could keep the opponent occupied, because their fellow clansmen would arrive soon.
"Then...shall we make a move?"
"Let's get started."
In a short moment, the two powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan had already secretly discussed their options and were preparing to test each other's strength directly. If the opponent was indeed very strong, they would hold him off and wait for the other members of their clan to arrive.
If this Primordial Lord's strength is only average, then there's no need to wait; the two of them can take him down directly.
Just as they made up their minds and were about to make their move, Chen Yuan, who was standing to the side, had already sensed their true purpose.
After all, since his will ascended to the Void True God level, his mental power has also changed significantly, gaining more functions.
He hadn't just overheard their telepathic communication; he had directly understood their will through mental perception and knew that they had made up their minds to attack him.
Since that's the case, Chen Yuan wasn't going to be foolish enough to wait for the other side to make the first move. He was in a hurry to continue his cultivation and didn't have time to get entangled with them.
Before the two members of the Divine Eye Clan could finish their discussion, Chen Yuan was already preparing to make the first move. A hidden spatial-temporal power began to gather in his palm, and under the shield of his mental power, the two powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan did not notice it at all.
However, before Chen Yuan could make a move, his eyes suddenly flickered slightly.
Someone has arrived, and they are quite powerful.
Moreover, many people in more distant places also noticed the unusual situation and began to gather in this direction.
There was nothing that could be done. Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, then dispelled the secret technique that had been gathering power in his hands.
Chen Yuan originally thought he had only attracted two small insects, and he planned to kill them and go back to cultivate. However, since more and more people were being attracted here, he was destined to have no peace and quiet for the time being.
Since that's the case, Chen Yuan had no choice but to gather more people and then demonstrate his strength in front of everyone to intimidate these powerful individuals.
As long as the adventurers of the Cosmic Sea know that the Primordial Lord's strength is worthy of these treasures, then no more fools will dare to disturb them.
At the same time, the two God-Eye Clan universe lords also finished their discussion and prepared to attack Chen Yuan.
Just then, a powerful aura emanated from afar, causing the two to slightly change their expressions: "Not good, it's the strongest being in the universe!"
This aura approached at an extremely fast speed. Almost in the next second, a dazzling golden light appeared from the distance and rapidly approached the area where the three were located.
"Haha, Wu Hun and Jiu Jian, I knew you two were acting suspiciously and plotting something, that's why I followed you here."
The golden light revealed itself to be a powerful alien warrior clad in golden armor.
The golden-armored alien warrior grinned and said, "Just as I thought. Look who I see here! It's the renowned master of the Primordial Tower from the primordial universe."
"Are you two blocking their way here, trying to eat it all by yourself?"
"Rampaging Demon God!" The powerful member of the Divine Eye Clan, known as the Lord of Five Chaos, said with a livid face, "If you wanted a share of the pie, you could have come quietly. Why did you have to be so conspicuous?"
"Do you realize that this will quickly attract other powerful individuals?"
I'm so angry!
They finally managed to corner the Primordial Lord in a remote area, but unfortunately, the Rampaging Demon God, the strongest lone wolf, saw them!
Most importantly, this lone traveler couldn't resist making a scene; he couldn't just sneak over there, he had to make sure everyone knew.
Well, the plan to make a fortune in silence has failed. Whether or not they can seize the treasures from the Primordial Lord now depends entirely on their own abilities.
The problem is that although the Divine Eye Clan is not weak, they are by no means invincible in the Cosmic Sea. The two holy lands alone are much stronger than them, and both the quality and quantity of their experts are formidable.
As one of the three forbidden zones, the Cosmic Ship usually attracts many powerful figures from holy lands who come here to adventure. If these people join forces, the Divine Eye Clan will be no match for them.
In fact it is.
Due to the great commotion caused by the rampaging demon god, this remote area attracted many powerful figures. After these people discovered that the Primordial Lord had actually appeared here, they immediately called on their friends who were still in the cosmic ship.
As a result, more and more powerful individuals gathered in this area, quickly exceeding three digits! Moreover, none of them were weak; even the weakest among them was at the level of "Lord of Youhou".
In a short while, all the adventurers in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area gathered here, and many powerful figures were also rushing here from the spaceship.
Even the cosmic lords of the two holy lands were drawn to this turmoil, since even for them, the supreme treasure was an extremely precious item.
Upon suddenly hearing that the Primordial Lord possessed over a thousand supreme treasures, these people naturally had to come and see for themselves!
The Five Lords were furious! This despicable, rampant demon god—if it weren't for him, they probably would have already secretly captured the Primordial Lord!
"What good will it do you to run rampant like a demon god!"
The Lord of the Five Chaos glared angrily at the golden, rampaging demon god.
As a supreme ruler of the universe, he was not afraid of his opponent. After all, this lone traveler was of average strength and was only difficult to kill because of his tough armor!
"I just wanted to join in the fun, I don't care about anything else."
The rampaging demon chuckled, his expression unconcerned.
In fact, if he hadn't been unable to kill the Five Chaos Lord and hadn't been unable to offend the Divine Eye Clan, he would have been enraged long ago if any other universe lord had dared to speak to him like that.
As a lone wolf, the Demon God is quite cautious in his actions.
Just like this time, he was also eyeing the supreme treasure on Chen Yuan's body, but he couldn't be sure of the other party's strength. After all, how weak could a universe master who could control ten supreme treasures be?
However, the rampaging demon god was also unwilling for the treasures to fall into the hands of the Divine Eye Clan. If a true god were to arrive on their side, then these treasures would truly have to be said goodbye to him.
So he devised a plan to disrupt the situation by attracting other powerful figures, so that he could take advantage of the chaos.
He certainly wouldn't make the first move, but others might, especially the powerful figures from the two holy lands.
He would just observe and see if this Primordial Lord was truly powerful. If so, he would turn around and leave without ever trying to harm him.
However, if the opponent is not strong enough—then when this Primordial Lord falls, that will be the time for him to act as a rampaging demon god.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Five Chaos was furious but helpless. After all, even the weakest of the strongest was not someone the Lord of the Universe could bully.
Moreover, the rampaging demon gods are only bad at attacking; in terms of survivability, even their first true god might not be able to defeat them.
"Quickly call upon our own people."
The Lord of the Five Chaos and his companions exchanged a glance, and then immediately called out to the tribesmen who had not yet arrived, urging them to hurry up.
About half an hour later, the other powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan finally arrived, a total of ten people. Including Wu Hun and the other two, there were twelve of them.
However, since the true god is too far away, he cannot arrive in a short time. But the Five Lords also breathed a sigh of relief. They had twelve powerful figures gathered here, making them the strongest group in the area.
Although some powerful figures from the two holy lands also came, only five or six gathered in a short period of time. The combined strength of the two holy lands was about the same as theirs.
At this time, there were more than three hundred universe masters gathered in this area, but most of them were just scattered groups, with only two or three people in each group.
As for the strongest being in the universe? Currently, there is only the Rampaging Demon God here, and the Lord of the Five Chaos is not afraid of him.
For Wu Hun, the only thing they need to be wary of are the powerful figures from the two holy land universes. Although the number of the opposing forces is not as large as that of the Divine Eye Clan, each of them is strong and their average strength is above that of the opposing forces.
Especially the leaders of the two holy lands, the Mist Master of the Eastern Emperor Universe, a peak fifth-order expert, whose strength is no less than Wu Hun's, and even a few points stronger.
The leader of the Purple Moon Holy Land is even more terrifying—the Lord of the Deer Insects! A sixth-order Universe Lord even stronger than him, second only to the Rampaging Demon God in this battle!
At this moment, there are more than 300 powerful people gathered here, but they are all still observing and no one has made a move without authorization.
Along with the news that "the Primordial Lord possesses ten supreme treasures," came his astonishing battle record—fighting four of the universe's strongest beings single-handedly!
Even within the primordial universe, where the highest level of power one can achieve is no more than the peak of the sixth rank, the Primordial Lord's ability to fight four opponents single-handedly suggests that his strength is perhaps infinitely close to that of the strongest beings in the universe.
For this reason, no cosmic ruler dared to make the first move, fearing they would become a sacrifice in this struggle.
The Lord of the Five Chaos was confident he could kill Chen Yuan, but he was also wary of the powerful figures from the two holy lands, fearing he might be ambushed by the Lord of the Primordial Beginning during his battle with him.
So he stepped forward and said, "Mist Transformation, Deer Insect, shall we join forces and take down the Primordial Lord together?"
"Once the Primordial Lord falls, his treasures will be divided equally among our three major powers, how about it?"
"Not so great." The Lord of the Deer and Insects of the Purple Moon Holy Land said indifferently, "I just came to join in the fun. The supreme treasures don't attract me much."
"If you're going to do it, then do it quickly and don't dawdle here."
At the same time, the Lord of Mist on the other side also said, "We're the same. You are the strongest among the Five Lords of Chaos, so what are you waiting for here?"
The Lord of the Five Chaos couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. If it weren't for his fear of you, I would have made my move long ago!
However, unsure of what the other party was thinking, he could only say, "We can help, but we need to agree beforehand that you cannot interfere before our battle is over."
The Lord of the Five Chaos subtly threatened: "Otherwise, let's all stay here and wait until our clan's seven True Lords arrive. These treasures will also belong to our Divine Eye Clan."
"ha."
Lord of the Deer and Insects gently shook his head, "Rest assured, our Purple Moon Holy Land will not interfere until your battle is over."
"The Eastern Emperor Holy Land is the same," said the Lord of Mist on the other side. "A few supreme treasures are not as important as the reputation of the Holy Land. You can rest assured."
"Fine, you said it yourself!"
Having received their promises, the Lord of the Five Chaos breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at his other kin: "Shall we attack together?"
The other members of the Divine Eye Clan responded in unison, "Yes!"
At the same time, Chen Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Finally, I've made up my mind."
To be honest, if it weren't for wanting to establish his authority, he would have already taken action. These people are making a fuss over a fight.
If he were to go all out, these three hundred-plus universe lords would be no match for him; probably only one rampaging demon god could withstand him.
But there's no need. Killing too many people would create enmity with other tribes, and he wants to do business with these people in the future, so he naturally doesn't want to provoke public anger.
Therefore, his way of establishing his authority was to find a typical example among these people and then kill him.
This act of making an example of someone is both to prove one's own strength and to intimidate others.
In Chen Yuan's eyes, the Divine Eye Clan was not weak overall, and their constant antics were extremely annoying, making them a good target for establishing his authority.
As long as he doesn't offend the entire universe, he doesn't care about a mere Divine Eye Clan member; killing them is no big deal.
Therefore, when the Five Lords and twelve other powerful figures attacked him together, Chen Yuan not only remained calm, but also showed an expression of "it's finally over."
The next second—
"Power of spacetime, unleash!"
boom!
The twelve powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan were horrified to discover that they had unknowingly rushed into a void space, where chaotic energy permeated the air and the boundaries were completely indistinguishable.
"What's going on!"
"Where are we? Have we been teleported?"
"Wu Hun! Think of something quickly!"
"Don't rush!"
The Lord of the Five Chaos felt a strange sense of panic, as if the surrounding chaotic energy could devour them at any moment.
In reality, these people had already been devoured.
The twelve powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan were caught up in the situation, so they were unaware of what was happening, but the more than three hundred powerful individuals outside saw it all clearly.
That's a hand!
To be precise, it is an open palm facing upwards.
The twelve powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan rushed into this palm, each becoming extremely small.
And the owner of this palm is none other than the Primordial Lord, Chen Yuan!
"Everyone."
Chen Yuan looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "Soon, the Primordial Tower will come to the Cosmic Sea. All races of the Cosmic Sea are welcome to come and trade with me."
"The Tower of Primordial Chaos contains countless treasures, which can be obtained by exchanging them for relics and remains found throughout the Cosmic Sea. It is a rare opportunity."
"Of course, the Tower of Primordial Chaos welcomes guests, but if you are not guests—"
At this point, Chen Yuan lowered his head slightly and looked at the twelve tiny lives in the palm of his right hand.
"This is what happens!"
boom!
With a gentle toss, the space-time world that was originally in his palm flew out and then collapsed with a crash.
When this spacetime collapsed to its limit—the entire space exploded instantly, and the force of the explosion made everyone on the scene change color instantly, even the rampaging demon god.
As soon as the explosion ended and the chaotic airflow dispersed, everyone looked closely and saw that the original location in space and time was now completely empty.
As for the twelve powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan who were originally enveloped in spacetime, they all perished in the explosion, leaving not even ashes behind.
In an instant, everyone, including the powerful figures from the two holy lands, showed expressions of horror, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Chen Yuan.
With just one secret technique, all twelve powerful Universe Lords of the Divine Eye Clan were annihilated!
