Chapter 253 Lord You's Surprise
After confirming the fall of the four alien immortals, led by Wan Qianwang, Chen Yuan shut down the real-time transmission function of the virtual universe network.
I checked the military merit system and found that my military merits had been credited to my account, increasing by a full 80.1 trillion, which can be exchanged for 8 million Chaos Units.
Or equal integrals.
As for the primordial energy, it also increased by 3300 million, of which the Wanqian King contributed the lion's share, amounting to 2800 million, while the remaining three Magic Snail Monkeys combined only contributed 500 million.
"That's a pretty good start."
Chen Yuan revealed a satisfied smile, then searched through the spoils of war and obtained another 33 billion Hunyuan units, mostly contributed by that Wanqian King.
In other words, his net worth increased by more than 40 billion after this battle. If word got out, it would make the other kings green with envy.
Under normal circumstances, it's almost impossible for a high-level King to be killed. Even if they encounter a King at the peak of their power, they can escape if they can't win.
But this Prince Wanqian was extremely unlucky, as he encountered Chen Yuan, an unreasonable opponent.
Under the triple suppression of the Treasure Domain, the Time Slowing Domain, and the Time Stopping Secret Technique, coupled with the "God-Slaying" characteristic of the Azure Sky Sword, Wan Qianwang didn't even have a chance to burn his divine power and died unjustly under Chen Yuan's sword.
More importantly, the process of his killing of Wanqian King has been transmitted synchronously through the virtual universe network, which means that the human race's high-ranking officials can see this achievement.
As expected, when Chen Yuan was traveling to his next destination in the Shiyuan Palace, he received another communication from the Lord of Youhou.
"Junior Brother, you just killed a high-level King?!"
Lord Youhou's expression was one of disbelief. "How did you do that?"
He could have killed a King when he was a Realm Lord back then, but it took him all his strength and a bit of luck to accomplish it, and he only killed a King at the initial stage!
That's why he was so surprised.
"Senior brother should have seen the battle video, right?" Chen Yuan smiled. "That's how he killed him."
"—Of course I've seen the video, but it's precisely because I watched it that I'm even more confused."
Lord Youhou shook his head. "I'm not surprised you could activate the second layer of the 'Thousand Mist Mirror of Light,' and your 'Suppressing Time' technique was also very clever, successfully halting the time of that Thousand Serpent Ziqian and preventing it from burning its divine body, but—"
At this point, Marquis You took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to kill him in just one second?"
"Even with the strength of a World Lord, and even if you had a hundred times the genetic potential, plus methods like 'Feimo Venom,' it would still take you more than ten seconds to kill a high-level King!"
Chen Yuan knew that what his senior brother Youhou said was true. If he really had the same strength as his senior brother described, then he definitely wouldn't be able to kill a King-level Immortal.
However, he didn't intend to hide it, so he smiled and explained, "Senior brother, you don't know this, but I was able to kill Wan Qianwang this time because of the power of three great treasures."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan gave a brief explanation of the effects of the Heavenly Light Battle Armor and the Azure Sky Sword. Of course, he made the specific amplification of the Heavenly Light Battle Armor vague, only saying that it could amplify the power of a Realm Lord by tens of thousands of times.
After hearing the explanation, Lord Youhou finally understood Chen Yuan's methods, but he still couldn't hide his surprise: "Junior Brother has such amazing luck, but this treasured battle armor—its effects are simply unheard of. I've only seen something similar with one other race."
"Senior brother, are you referring to the armor of the Yan God Clan?"
"That's right." Lord Youhou nodded, then hesitated, "Could it be that Junior Brother's treasured battle armor is related to the armor of the Yan God Clan?"
"You could say there's a connection. The amplification effect of this battle suit is derived from the technology of the Flame God Clan's battle armor."
Chen Yuan told him the truth.
"Oh?!" Lord Youhou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, his voice brimming with excitement: "Junior Brother, who is the master craftsman who created this treasured battle suit? Can this kind of battle suit be mass-produced, even if its effects are somewhat weaker?"
It should be noted that the origin of the Flame God Clan's armor can be traced back to a supreme treasure. According to Youhou, this treasure was crafted by the strongest being in the universe, "Sitting Mountain Guest".
This is why the human race has spent a great deal of manpower and resources trying to crack the secret of the Flame God Clan's armor, but has been unsuccessful.
But now, he actually learned from his junior brother about the possibility of mass-producing the Flame God Clan battle armor. How could he not be excited about such a technology that could enhance the clan's combat power?
The Heavenly Mantle Armor's abilities were naturally derived from system optimization, a secret Chen Yuan would not reveal. However, he brought up the topic to showcase himself to the higher-ups of the human race.
So Chen Yuan said, "I met this treasure-refining master by chance. However, he is mysterious and comes and goes without a trace. He only comes over occasionally to teach me some forging techniques."
"As for the technology contained in this Flame God Clan armor, I once learned it from that treasure-refining master."
At this point, Chen Yuan paused, "With my current skill level, I dare not reveal the secret of the Armor Power, but I am confident that I can replicate the Armor Power of Soldiers."
Lord Youhou was initially disappointed to hear that the master craftsman was unwilling to show himself, but his eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Chen Yuan's next words, and he quickly exclaimed, "Really?!"
In fact, Chen Yuan had been observing the power of the armor for some time and had already gained some understanding of the secrets it contained. Therefore, he confidently said, "If you give me ten years, Senior Brother, I will definitely be able to create armor containing the power of the armor."
Upon hearing this affirmative answer, Youhou immediately became excited: "Only ten years? Junior Brother, if you can do it, it will be a great achievement for the human race!"
"Merit? Is there any reward?" Chen Yuan asked curiously. He did know that analyzing weapon technology could enhance the overall strength of the clan, but he had only recently advanced to the Realm Lord level, and he was busy enough just comprehending the laws and cultivating secret techniques. He didn't have time to delve into the secrets of weaponry.
It can only be a superficial attempt.
However, if the rewards from the clan are very attractive, it's not impossible to seriously study it, since it only takes a few years anyway.
Hearing his junior brother's question, Lord Youhou held up one finger and said in a deep voice, "A supreme treasure."
"As long as Junior Brother can decipher the Flame God Clan's weapon technology and achieve mass production, I can grant you the right to choose any ordinary treasure, regardless of type."
Upon hearing the reward, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Can I choose any ordinary treasure? Can I see the actual item before making a selection?"
"Of course," Lord Youhou nodded in agreement. "You can look around as you like, and I'll let you choose until you're satisfied."
Upon receiving an accurate answer, Chen Yuan could not hide his excitement. Of course, he was not excited about the value of the treasure, but rather that if he could see the actual object, he would be able to analyze the various technologies of the treasure through the system!
It's important to understand that Chen Yuan's current difficulty in optimizing his treasures lies in the lack of various resources. Both materials and secret runes are extremely scarce, which is why he has only optimized one Shiyuan Palace so far.
But if he were to come into contact with a true treasure, once the system had collected the technical data, then, without a doubt, creating a set of treasures for himself would be a piece of cake. That was what truly excited him.
"Then it's a deal."
Chen Yuan nodded repeatedly: "Just wait for my good news, senior brother."
"Alright!" Youhou smiled, but then he suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, junior brother, since you want to focus on analyzing technology, there's no need for you to stay in the outer battlefield. It's not very safe there."
"Given your identity, if it were exposed, it could easily provoke a joint assassination attempt by the alien races. It would be better to return to human territory first."
To be honest, after learning that his junior brother had such talent, Youhou was really reluctant to let him continue to take risks, and even wanted to protect him well so that he could focus on his research.
As for cultivation? To be honest, with Junior Master's talent, breaking through to immortality is definitely not a problem. With an infinite lifespan in the future, even if he cultivates in seclusion every day, he can easily become a Universe Venerable.
But how could Chen Yuan possibly go back? He still needed to accumulate his source energy, so he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, no one can do anything to me on the battlefield outside the domain. This place is perfect for me to continue my training."
"Alright then, junior brother, please be careful." Seeing Chen Yuan's confident expression, Youhou knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he could only nod in agreement.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Junior Brother has already met the requirements to join the Hong Alliance by killing the alien king this time. He should receive an invitation in a while."
"However, junior brother, your identity is special. I suggest you don't join under your real identity to avoid being targeted by the alien race."
"No problem." Chen Yuan nodded. It would be best to join the Hong Alliance while concealing his identity, at least it wouldn't attract the attention of the alien races.
Just like Luo Feng in the original work, he joined the Hong Alliance with two identities: one as Dao He Wang, and the other as his true self.
"I will inform my teacher and Uncle Chaos about this matter. The three of us will work together to block your information and then forge a title of king for you."
Lord Youhou then inquired, "However, even if it's a false identity, it still needs a title. Junior Brother, do you have a preferred title?"
As for the title of king, Chen Yuan didn't have any particular requirements, as long as it didn't sound bad.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Qingxiao."
"Qingxiao? Is that the name of your treasured weapon?"
Lord Youhou nodded, "Alright, then I will register you under the name of King Qingxiao."
