Chapter 20, Palace Treasures
Ye Muxuan and his group entered the hall, facing the diverse gazes of thousands of people, and found a corner to sit down. Many people were also sizing up the thousands of powerful figures in the hall, while others simply closed their eyes in contemplation. Upon learning that these thousands of people had obtained their spots through an internal auction within the Universe Kingdom, many of the 120 powerful figures present lost the will to interact with them.
The path of the strong is worthy of respect; those who stand at the pinnacle are the pillars. To put it bluntly, any one of the hundred Realm Lords from the outer battlefield could easily kill any of the eight or nine hundred Realm Lords among the thousands in this hall. Even Li Zheng, though he might not withstand Ye Muxuan's second strike, could single-handedly slaughter more than half of these eight or nine hundred. And if it were a super Realm Lord like Zhen Dan, the "Thunderbolt Spear," who had once directly killed an immortal god, he could slaughter all of these Realm Lords alone.
While quantitative change can certainly lead to qualitative change, the mere eight or nine hundred realm lords here are not enough for a super realm lord like Zhen Dan. So, why should they be given even a second glance?
Those Realm Lords who can afford to buy a spot at the auction either have the support of an Immortal or have experienced extraordinary encounters. A spot in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield requires military merit worth 20,000 Chaos Yuan units, and it's even more expensive at the auction. Each cosmic nation has only one spot per era, and the auction price once doubled, soaring to nearly 50,000 Chaos Yuan units. While Li Zheng and Ye Muxuan casually produce treasures worth hundreds of thousands of Chaos Yuan units, a normal Realm Lord would consider themselves wealthy with only 100 Chaos Yuan units.
As for the Immortal slots, those are even more expensive.
Therefore, the realm lords of the extraterritorial battlefield look down on those realm lords who obtained their spots through auctions within the cosmic kingdom. Similarly, these realm lords with powerful backers also look down on the group of lone wolves from the extraterritorial battlefield.
Amidst an atmosphere where both sides looked down on each other, seven days quietly passed, and the final three teams arrived as scheduled.
In the hall, two distinct circles, one large and one small, each had their own topics and were subtly at odds. At this moment, a man dressed in a deep purple battle robe, with a pair of crystalline curved horns on his forehead, suddenly appeared.
Ye Muxuan suddenly looked up!
His intuition told him that several things far more terrifying than his own soul-related treasures were nearby. The aura emanating from any one of them was like an abyss, capable of easily swallowing everyone present!
Ye Muxuan's gaze immediately locked onto the purple-robed man who appeared in the hall; the source of those several items emanating a terrifying aura was there.
As Ye Muxuan's gaze locked onto the man in the purple battle robe, his heart sank, his pupils contracted sharply, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The man in the purple battle robe was clearly standing right here in the hall. But in his perception, this person seemed like a virtual projection, as if he were in another space, and he couldn't sense his presence at all.
"Are these the people on the list heading to the Initial Universe?" His indifferent gaze swept across the hall; apart from Ye Muxuan, no one noticed his arrival.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A tall, thin man with red eyes, dressed in a black robe, suddenly appeared in the hall and respectfully answered the man in the purple robe.
"Let's go." The man in purple robes said indifferently, and then disappeared.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The tall, thin man in the black robe raised his head, his dark red eyes sweeping across the hall. The faint aura of immortal divine power emanating from him caused the entire hall to tremble slightly.
"Everyone, follow me." His dark red eyes swept across the entire area, and his immortal divine power spread out, pressing down on the hundreds of immortal gods present.
In the hall, only twenty immortals were eligible to exchange military merits for military titles, ten of whom would be granted the title of Marquis and ten the title of Military Lord. Meanwhile, a total of 373 immortals from within the Cosmic Kingdom had come to participate in the auction, and of these, 49 would actually be granted the title of Marquis.
Within the universe, the disparity between military leaders and those granted titles of nobility is far greater than on the battlefields outside the region.
This tall, thin man with red eyes, dressed in a black robe, single-handedly suppressed the fifty-nine marquises and three hundred and thirty-four military lords present.
Even those who were granted the title of Marquis and Immortal were suppressed to the point of having no power to resist, let alone the Realm Lords like Ye Muxuan, even though there were thousands of them.
Everyone stood up and followed the tall, thin man with red eyes toward the lawn outside.
A few minutes later, thousands of people on the lawn saw a dark, three-story, pointed palace and looked at each other in disbelief.
These people had been here for anywhere from two days to several months, and they had never seen a palace on this lawn before. And now, such a massive palace had appeared.
Among the crowd, only Ye Muxuan's mouth was slightly agape.
He probably knew what it was.
Palace-type treasures!
Although it's unclear whether it's a precious treasure or a supreme treasure, it's something that can rival or even surpass soul-type treasures of the same level.
Unexpectedly, that being possessed such a treasure, he must be an extremely powerful Venerable, or even a hegemon.
Ye Muxuan lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at the tall, thin man in black robes with red eyes.
"Everyone, Realm Lords go to the first level, Immortals go to the second level." The tall, thin man in black robes with red eyes glanced at the thousands of people in the arena, and then disappeared without a trace. Even with Ye Muxuan's understanding of spatial laws, he could only vaguely sense extremely subtle spatial fluctuations.
This was happening right now, only a few dozen meters away. If it were any farther, he definitely wouldn't be able to sense any spatial fluctuations. This tall, thin man in black robes with red eyes had a level of understanding of the fundamental laws of space that even surpassed Ye Muxuan's expectations.
Even the smallest movement by a thousand people could cause a huge commotion, but this was the headquarters, the main base, of the Virtual Universe Company. If there were any places in the Primal Universe where Ye Muxuan could feel safe, this was at least in the top three. Others might not know, but Ye Muxuan was very clear that the starry river above his head was not necessarily the real starry sky of the Primal Universe, and that more than one Universe Lord was stationed here.
Therefore, Ye Muxuan did not hesitate at all and took the lead in walking towards the palace.
The realm lords of the extraterritorial battlefield are almost all led by Ye Muxuan, even though he hasn't spoken up yet. But counting the battle more than four years ago, even "Sword Madman" Li Zheng, who had cultivated the "Extreme Wind Secret Manual" to the eighth level, lost. Even "Rain Sword" Kong Yan and "Thunderbolt Spear" Zhen Dan privately admitted that they were inferior. Which of the other realm lords would dare to cause trouble?
