As ti passed, among the seven First-Class Marquises of the Emperor Chu Lineage, Di Chu Yu seed to have beco much more low-key when tasks were being distributed. In the blink of an eye, more than half an era had gone by.
“Finally, it’s my turn to have priority again.” Di Chu Yu, leveraging his First-Class Marquis Token, discovered a newly issued King-level task.
Even for the First-Class Marquises, encountering a King-level task was a rare occurrence, and the seven First-Class Marquises had to choose in turn.
“Guarding the Netherfire World?” Di Chu Yu looked at the task, his eyes burning with intensity. “The value of this task might even surpass that of the ‘North Sea Beast Forest.’”
“My priority rights…”
Di Chu Yu sneered coldly and unhesitatingly claid this task for himself.
After the last lesson, Di Chu Yu had remained low-key for more than half an era, but at this critical mont, he struck again. As soon as he snatched this task, the other six First-Class Marquises imdiately beca aware of it.
“Hmm? Interesting.”
“It seems we’ve underestimated Chu Yu. He actually has so guts.”
“He dares to snatch it directly? He’s courting death!”
“There’s no rush. Marquis Chu Yuan will definitely be the first to act.”
Each of the other First-Class Marquises harbored their own thoughts.
Indeed, when Marquis Chu Yuan discovered that Di Chu Yu had dared to use his priority rights to seize this King-level task, a naless rage instantly burned through his entire body, even igniting his very soul.
“A newly promoted Chaos Realm? With such weak strength, he should have endured! How dare he compete with ?” Marquis Chu Yuan seethed with fury.
In his view, only those at the peak of the Chaos Realm had the right to compete fairly! A newly promoted Chaos Realm, even if he relied on the Infinite Divine Body and the resources of a First-Class Marquis to cultivate… his strength was still far inferior, and he had no right to contend with them!
“Di Chu Yu!” Marquis Chu Yuan contacted Di Chu Yu, sending a direct ssage. “You have so nerve, daring to snatch a King-level task!”
“Oh? Are you saying that as a First-Class Marquis, I’m not qualified to snatch a King-level task?” Di Chu Yu responded calmly.
He was transmitting his voice from a great distance away, unafraid of this madman.
“It seems the last lesson didn’t sink in.” Marquis Chu Yuan’s voice ca through, laced with killing intent.
“I’ve heard that you, Marquis Chu Yuan, are quite formidable. Among the seven First-Class Marquises, you’re the strongest? You’ve even fought against many Chaos Realm peak powerhouses without eting a worthy opponent?” Di Chu Yu remarked with interest. “I’m at my residence right now. Do you have the guts to co and kill ?”
Marquis Chu Yuan paused.
Breaking into a First-Class Marquis’ residence?
Even the Guest Marquis’ mansion could mobilize a portion of the defensive power of the city of Chu Capital! Even transcendent beings of the Chaos Realm were highly wary of it.
As for the First-Class Marquis’ residence, it could mobilize even more of Chu Capital’s city defenses! Even so ancient Divine Kings wouldn’t dare to recklessly intrude.
“You only dare to hide in your mansion?” Marquis Chu Yuan retorted.
“You’re right. Before my protection period ends, I have no mandatory tasks to perform! So during this period… I will remain in my mansion. What can you do about it?” Di Chu Yu replied leisurely. “I won’t step out of the mansion. What can you do to ?”
Marquis Chu Yuan was enraged.
“I won’t give way on any task.” Di Chu Yu said coldly. “You and I are both First-Class Marquises, and you think you can suppress ? Dream on!”
“Very well, very well indeed!” Marquis Chu Yuan’s face twisted in anger.
Di Chu Yu abruptly cut off communication, unwilling to continue dealing with the madman. Safe within his mansion, Di Chu Yu had no fear.
After severing communication, Di Chu Yu imdiately contacted Luo Feng: “Guest Marquis Luo He, I’ve had so conflicts with the other First-Class Marquises. It’s best if your disciples don’t leave the mansion for the ti being.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng, who was in seclusion, received the ssage. “Don’t worry, I’ll give them instructions.”
Luo Feng then instructed Morosa, Moyu Qingyan, and Yuanzu accordingly.
…
“Ahhh!”
Marquis Chu Yuan was furious, lightning flashing all around him. In an instant, he tore apart the pavilion he was in, and even the two maids outside the pavilion were caught in the blast, turning to ash in their terror and despair.
“Damned! Damned!” Marquis Chu Yuan’s eyes were filled with lightning.
At this mont, a figure appeared in the sky—it was Marquis Chu Ji.
“Chu Yuan!” Marquis Chu Ji shouted, his voice reverberating through Marquis Chu Yuan’s soul, causing him to regain so clarity. He looked up to see the descending Marquis Chu Ji.
“Elder Brother.” Marquis Chu Yuan gritted his teeth. “That Di Chu Yu did it on purpose. He deliberately provoked .”
“Indeed, he’s provoking you on purpose, trying to make you lose control again and violate the rules set by the Ancestor. Then they’ll imprison you in the Netherfire World for ten thousand eras.” Marquis Chu Ji reprimanded.
Marquis Chu Yuan was stunned, looking at his only trusted elder brother.
“You’ve co a long way, becoming a First-Class Marquis, enduring much hardship.” Marquis Chu Ji said. “You have extraordinary talent, with the potential to transcend the Chaos Realm! At this mont, you must not fall into the enemy’s trap. If you go mad and act recklessly… you’ll only give Di Chu Yu sothing to laugh about.”
Marquis Chu Yuan nodded.
“In everything you do, be mindful of the laws. Just don’t break the taboos.” Marquis Chu Ji sighed. This brother of his used to be sowhat rational, but after practicing the Hunyuan Secret Technique inheritance, his temper had beco increasingly uncontrollable.
“Many mbers of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom’s royal family have uncontrollable tempers, and when they erupt, they even clash with the Divine Kings. My brother, it seems, has inherited so of the traits of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom’s royal family,” Marquis Chu Ji thought.
Due to the dual royal bloodlines, after Marquis Chu Yuan reached the Chaos Realm, the Ancestor of the Chu Empire personally guided his cultivation, causing him to progress rapidly.
“Summon a few guest marquises, and let’s discuss how to deal with this matter.” Marquis Chu Ji suggested.
“Alright.” Marquis Chu Yuan nodded, suppressing his temper.
Monts later.
Marquis Chu Ji, Marquis Chu Yuan, and three guest marquises gathered together. These five Chaos Realm peak powerhouses discussed the matter, essentially to help Marquis Chu Yuan vent his anger! If Marquis Chu Yuan didn’t release his anger… he would only beco more and more unhinged!
“Di Chu Yu has said that during the protection period, he will stay within his mansion and not take a single step outside.” Marquis Chu Yuan’s ugly, black-haired face was filled with fury. “I wish I could smash him into pulp! But fine, if he doesn’t leave, I don’t believe his wife and children won’t!”
“Attacking the close relatives of a First-Class Marquis is equivalent to attacking the First-Class Marquis himself,” Marquis Chu Ji remarked.
“I’m not going to kill them, just rough them up a bit.” Black streams of energy surged around Marquis Chu Yuan’s body. “As long as they don’t die, it’s just a minor punishnt.”
“Attacking the family mbers is taboo.” Marquis Chu Ji shook his head.
“This won’t do, that won’t do, so what can we do?” Marquis Chu Yuan fud with anger.
The man in the green robe beside him chuckled, “Marquis Chu Yuan, there’s no need to be anxious. The reason Di Chu Yu is being so aggressive is because he’s competing for resources… So, we should target what he cares about most. His greatest ally right now is that Guest Marquis Luo He, isn’t it? There are no rules against teaching a guest marquis a lesson—even killing one won’t bring any repercussions.”
In the Ancient Fla Kingdom, there were many guest marquises, and conflicts among them were common, sothing the kingdom rarely intervened in.
“Right, the most formidable one by his side is that Luo He.” Marquis Chu Yuan nodded. “But Luo He is at the peak of the Chaos Realm and must have mastered several life-saving techniques. It would be extrely difficult to kill him completely.”
He wasn’t confident.
“While it may be impossible to kill him outright, just defeating him once and seizing his treasures would surely cause him great distress,” the man in the green robe suggested.
“A strong figure like him, who has accumulated treasures over countless years, would carry them all on his person. If he dies once and loses all his treasures, even if he survives through so life-saving technique, the pain would be unbearable,” an elderly woman nearby added.
“With our thods, though we may not be able to kill him completely, seizing his treasures wouldn’t be difficult,” an old man with golden bands around his left arm said calmly.
“Alright,” Marquis Chu Yuan nodded. “Since he hides himself away, we’ll target his guest marquis! Let’s see if this Luo He still dares to assist Di Chu Yu!”
…
Luo Feng had indeed instructed Morosa, Moyu Qingyan, and Yuanzu, so even when they went out, they only used their divine power incarnations to wander around.
In Chu Capital, at Qianxing Tower.
“I was once suppressed by the Primal Universe for over half a reincarnation era, carefully observing the myriad life forms and the operation of all things in the Primal Universe,” Yuanzu sat in a small building within Qianxing Tower, drinking wine and observing the beings outside. “However, the myriad life forms and the operational rules of the Origin Continent… are far more profound.”
After receiving a large amount of inheritance from the Heart Shadow Sect, Yuanzu began to integrate the experiences of many predecessors, creating an eternal-level technique known as the ‘Virtual Universe’.
As this technique began to take shape, Yuanzu’s strength grew substantially.
“Sotis, reality is also illusion, and illusion is also reality,” Yuanzu smiled.
“With the initial success of my technique, I can now form an ‘illusory avatar’, which possesses thirty percent of my true body’s strength,” Yuanzu was quite satisfied. “I’ve heard that even among the beings of the Chaos Realm, few have techniques to create avatars.”
Suddenly—
A powerful presence descended.
Yuanzu saw a green-robed figure standing beside him, an invisible force completely restraining him.
At this mont, Yuanzu felt as if the green-robed figure before him was an endless expanse of heaven and earth, utterly beyond his ability to resist. The gap in power was unfathomable.
“So, you’re Yuanzu?” The green-robed figure looked at him. This was indeed an Eternal True God-level being, not so divine power incarnation.
“May I ask what orders the great sage has?” Yuanzu stood and respectfully bowed.
“I’ve heard that Guest Marquis Luo He went to great lengths to bring you to Chu Capital,” the green-robed figure said leisurely. “Quickly send a ssage to Luo He and tell him… if he doesn’t co, your life is forfeit.”
Yuanzu hesitated slightly.
“Very well, I’ll send the ssage right away,” Yuanzu still kept a low profile.
…
Inside Luo Feng’s mansion.
Luo Feng, who was in seclusion, was called out.
“Yuanzu, is there sothing urgent?” Luo Feng asked as he looked at Yuanzu.
“Luo Feng, my illusory avatar was in Qianxing Tower within the city when it encountered Marquis Chu Yuan’s guest marquis, ‘Sage Tianyu.’ He demands that you co imdiately, or he will kill ,” Yuanzu said. “But don’t worry, he’s only captured my illusory avatar.”
“An illusory avatar? And Sage Tianyu couldn’t tell?” Luo Feng was surprised.
Even he hadn’t cultivated an avatar yet.
The Heart Shadow Sect’s inheritance didn’t include any avatar techniques. Yet Yuanzu had managed to create an illusory avatar?
“The illusory avatar is also a real body, just slightly weaker than my main body,” Yuanzu explained.
Luo Feng nodded slightly. If Yuanzu were truly captured, it would be quite troubleso for him.
But now?
Luo Feng was filled with fury.
They had begun targeting those close to him? Luo Feng’s killing intent grew even stronger.
“You need to be careful. If they’re calling you over, there might be an ambush,” Yuanzu reminded him.
“Don’t worry.”
Luo Feng nodded, then took a step forward and vanished into the void.
