The wispy clouds drifted and spread over an area of tens of millions of kilometers. The powerful figures of the various forces stationed in the Flame Ice Domain also knew that this was the location of the Shadow Blade Master's Huangque clone, so most of them would avoid him.
After all, with the configuration of Huang's clone and Huang's battle armor, currently, unless several of the strongest beings in the universe join forces to suppress it, or a ninth-tier universe powerhouse like the Divine Eye True Lord takes action, ordinary universe powerhouses really can't do anything about it.
After all, the supreme treasure armor, combined with the innate secret technique of the Huangjue, provides perfect physical defense. Since he has no soul, there's no way to enslave him.
Furthermore, according to publicly available information from the human race, the Shadow Blade Master also possesses a supreme treasure of the palace type, and it is unknown whether it is carried by his Huang clone.
More importantly, the Human Race's Giant Axe Founder is now the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea, and the Chaos True God and Peng Gong True God are also the strongest beings in the universe, possessing supreme treasures and considerable strength. If Huang Jue were to be killed and his supreme treasures stolen, he would undoubtedly be besieged by a group of powerful Human Race members.
The Shadow Blade Lord and his allies are currently in the Primitive Universe Era. Unless the Holy Land Universe intervenes, no force in the entire universe can truly withstand them. The Shadow Blade Lord can really celebrate in their dilapidated miniature universe.
"Is this supreme treasure of the domain the master of the Shadow Blade?" A powerful and vast divine voice traveled from the top-tier domain treasure, Falling Star Lake, to the Cloud Dream Realm.
"Lord of the Underworld?" A detached and indifferent voice echoed from the Cloud Dream Realm, crashing into Falling Star Lake.
"Hahaha! I'm so lucky to meet a fellow powerhouse from the primordial universe on the spaceship!" From within a top-tier, grayish-brown palace treasure, the voice of the Lord of the Underworld was slightly hoarse and sharp. "I happen to have something I'd like to tell the Lord of Shadow Blade. I wonder if it would be convenient?"
"Okay." Through his senses, Huang's clone knew that the Lord of the Underworld only had two peak treasures and three top-tier treasures. As for the dozen or so high-level treasures, there was no need to worry about them. These treasures also proved that the Lord of the Underworld was traveling alone and that there were no powerful figures hidden in the palace treasures to ambush him. So he agreed directly.
Manipulating the cloud realm to open a passage, the gray-brown palace treasure instantly teleported to within hundreds of thousands of kilometers in front of the Azure Cloud Palace.
Above was an endless sea of lava, below was a black swamp—in the middle of the fiery ice domain, Huang's clone, clad in the magnificent armor, emerged from the Azure Cloud Palace.
They arrived in the void. They watched as the Lord of the Underworld, also clad in peak-level treasure armor, left his supreme palace and appeared in the outside world.
Virtual Universe, Shadow Blade Temple.
There were only five people sitting around the stone table, but they were the five people who stood at the pinnacle of the human race and even the entire Hong Alliance.
"Mu Xuan, what do you want with us?" Seeing that only five people were present and the rest were not, the Chaos True God spoke first. "I met the Lord of the Yellow Springs in the Cosmic Sea and had a conversation with him." Ye Mu Xuan, dressed in a plain white robe, looked at the four strongest beings in the universe present and explained the reason. "The Lord of the Yellow Springs told me something: the two demon ancestors of the demon race have secretly joined forces with those powerful races."
They even contacted him during that time, offering him a supreme treasure in exchange for joining the Demon Clan Alliance.
When some cosmic lords join powerful forces, they are given some supreme treasures; this is an unspoken rule. For example, seven cosmic lords from three powerful races joined the Hong Alliance with their races. The Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos True God also contributed eight top-tier supreme treasures in the name of their races. Unlike the Lone Wanderer, they also brought their races and needed the Hong Alliance's protection, so the supreme treasures they received were naturally not very good.
If it were a lone universe lord, those top-tier fourth-order universe lords joining the Hong Alliance would likely require offering a supreme treasure of the highest domain level. However, when the Dark Lord broke through to become the strongest in the universe, the twelve top powers invited him to join as the Grand Alliance Leader, but it was merely a nominal position; the price they offered was the ability to choose ten treasures from the Alliance's treasury!
Don't underestimate the resources of a top-tier power. They may not have had the strongest individuals or the most powerful treasures before, but they have more universe masters than the six top races. The resources in their treasury are no less than those of super powers.
Currently, the Hong Alliance has fifty-seven Universe Lords, second only to the Northern Frontier Alliance among the nine super powers. However, ten of them are human cultivators who broke through after Ye Muxuan, and nine of them joined the Hong Alliance later. Even the Star Fortress Lord joined Ye Muxuan's demonic path during the era of the Universe Overlord and later broke through. Apart from these, the Hong Alliance is merely an elite alliance, and in terms of sheer numbers, it does not hold an advantage among the various powers.
"The demon race plans to expand its alliance?" True God Peng Gong couldn't help but ask, while the Giant Axe Founder frowned slightly.
"The Lord of the Underworld wouldn't lie to me about something like this; there's no need for it," Ye Muxuan nodded.
"As far as I know, the Lord of the Yellow Springs is not the absolute leader of the Dark Alliance. Besides him, there is another fifth-order universe lord, the Lord of the Nine Suburbs, in the Dark Alliance. It seems that it has split into two factions now." The Chaos True God spoke. In terms of intelligence capabilities, he is the strongest among humans and even the Hong Alliance, after all, he is in charge of the Virtual Universe Company Endless Era.
The Lord of the Underworld possesses fifth-tier strength thanks to the Underworld Bell, but his other treasures are somewhat lacking, placing him some distance from top-tier fifth-tier universe lords like the Lord of the Star River and the former Lord of Chaos City. Furthermore, within the Dark Cosmic Alliance, there is another fifth-tier universe lord, the Lord of the Nine Suburbs, a soulless, rocky mountain-like special life form. The Underworld Bell is ineffective against him, and if the Lord of the Underworld were to be recruited, he could become a formidable opponent.
"Although the Lord of the Underworld only revealed this information to me and did not express any intention to join the Hong Alliance, I think this is a good start. We can let Chaos inquire about it." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, spoke and looked at the four strongest beings present. "For one of the strongest beings in the universe to personally negotiate is already a great honor. If the Lord of the Underworld is willing, offering some supreme treasures as a price for winning him over should be enough."
The Chaos God was previously considered a top-tier being among the universe's rulers, and now, as the strongest being in the universe, his strength remains top-tier. His personal intervention to discuss this matter is a sign of great respect.
"Chaos." Upon hearing Ye Muxuan's words, both the Giant Axe Founder and Peng Gong True God Dark Demon God turned their gazes to the Chaos True God.
"Alright, I'll give it a try." The Chaos God nodded, then asked, "If the Lord of the Underworld joins the Hong Alliance, what price should we offer to win him over?"
To recruit powerful individuals into the Hong Alliance, it's not enough to rely solely on the human race's treasury; the Hong Alliance's treasury must also be utilized, as its treasures pale in comparison to those of the human race today.
"If it works out, we can offer two top-tier treasures. If he can bring ten universe lords with him, we can consider offering four top-tier treasures, or a top-tier domain treasure for him personally. The treatment of the other universe lords will remain the same as before," the Giant Axe Founder said slowly.
