Chapter 334: Ten Life Heavenly Coffin, The Divine Clans Enter the World

"Senior could kill me in an instant," Dao King said calmly. "But my purpose in coming is to discuss business with you, senior. You always value reputation, and you won’t kill me."

"True," Ye Xu said. "Killing you would only require me to lift a finger, but you’re clearly not worth my effort."

"The information on the Star Realm, thirty billion Star Yuan."

"The avatar of Li Ruoshui, twenty billion Star Yuan."

"If you can muster fifty billion Star Yuan, I will trade with you."

"Fifty billion?" Yan Duxing was both shocked and furious. Ye Xu was purely making an unreasonable demand.

The strength of the Star Realm was far inferior to that of the Spirit Realm or the Mysterious Realm, so how could it warrant thirty billion Star Yuan?

One avatar of Li Ruoshui was obviously not worth twenty billion Star Yuan either.

Ye Xu knew Dao King would agree.

Dao King wanted to attack the Star Realm not only to seize its power of Fortune and Virtue, but also to exploit the crisis in the Star Realm to hunt down Nangong Zhandao.

It must be known that Lan Youruo was the saintess of the Moon God Clan, and the Moon God Clan was in the Star Realm.

If the Star Realm faced disaster, Lan Youruo could not avoid returning.

Nangong Zhandao had married her and would not stand idly by.

This was a perfect two-for-one strategy.

Ye Xu was also happy to see this.

His Second Primordial Spirit Avatar cultivated the Way of Virtue and Fortune, and he was determined to acquire the power of Virtue and Fortune from all realms.

Nangong Zhandao was the most crucial piece.

Dao King was merely a pawn to him.

"Hahaha, the Master remains unchanged as ever," Dao King laughed heartily. "I hope the Master keeps his word."

Dao King stirred his magic power, and countless treasures—immortal pills, celestial herbs, and artifacts—flew out as beams of light from his Purple Palace.

The scars of the heavens had changed, and powerful experts from the Taihao Heavenly Sect descended again, bringing many resources. Currently, after plundering the Spirit Realm and the Mysterious Realm, the Taihao Heavenly Sect’s foundation was extraordinarily rich.

Fifty billion Star Yuan was not considered a large sum.

Moreover, if they succeeded in capturing Nangong Zhandao, fifty billion Star Yuan would be a drop in the bucket.

"Please, Master, tally them."

Gazing at the countless treasures floating in mid-air, the Third Elder and Yan Duxing appeared grave; the two could not understand why Dao King agreed so readily.

Tears filled Li Ruoshui’s avatar’s eyes. She could finally leave this ghostly place.

This wisp of an avatar contained a portion of her primordial spirit power. Until it returned, Li Ruoshui’s primordial spirit remained incomplete. Though the impact was small, it persistently held sway and could even obstruct her cultivation.

"System, exchange."

【Congratulations, host. You have obtained fifty-two billion heavenly secrets points.】

"Li Ruoshui, starting today, you are a free woman." Ye Xu flicked his wide sleeve, sending a force into Li Ruoshui’s brow. Li Ruoshui immediately fell into a deep sleep.

"Master!" Yan Duxing and the Third Elder’s expressions changed drastically. The Third Elder stared at Ye Xu. "Senior, what do you mean by this?"

"Don’t worry, I only erased her memories of this period," Ye Xu stated lightly.

Li Ruoshui’s avatar had stayed in Heaven’s Secret Pavilion for a while and learned numerous profound secrets. Those secrets alone were worth far more than five billion heavenly secrets points. Ye Xu certainly wouldn’t let her carry them out.

"She will wake up naturally in a quarter hour," Ye Xu said.

Hearing this, the two looked slightly relieved.

"System, check the complete information of the Star Realm," Ye Xu prompted mentally.

Ding!

[Congratulations, Host. Spent 1.6 billion heavenly secrets points. Query successful.]

With a soft chime, a flood of information about the Star Realm poured into Ye Xu’s mind.

The Star Realm, born in the Primordial Era, was long ago ruled solely by the Star God Clan. However, eight million years ago, the Star God Clan split into the Sun God Clan and the Moon God Clan.

After a million years of warfare, the Moon God Clan lineage ultimately won the final victory.

Today’s Star Realm was firmly under the Moon God Clan’s dominion.

Yet, within the Moon God Clan, they suppressed the ten life heavenly coffin. It was left by the first chieftain of the Star God Clan and contained a fragment of a Chaotic Demon God’s primordial spirit True Spirit.

This remained a secret of the Moon God Clan. Even their saintess, Lan Youruo, was completely unaware.

The Star Realm’s fate energy was also condensed within the ten life heavenly coffin.

Ye Xu was inwardly surprised.

The origin of the Moon God Clan was entangled with such a history of mutual slaughter within the divine clans.

"Di Wuyou, this is what you asked for."

Ye Xu flicked his finger. A jade slip flew towards Dao King.

"Thank you, Master."

Dao King focused his consciousness onto the jade slip.

"I see."

Dao King’s expression turned grave. "The Moon God Clan isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface."

Conquering the Star Realm was a plan he’d formulated long ago.

But Dao King had always been wary of the Moon God Clan because it was the Star Realm’s sole ruler from ancient times until now. For a single power to dominate a realm for millions of years was profoundly unusual.

It was precisely this wariness that made him think of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

"The ten life heavenly coffin, the Chaotic Demon God, an indestructible True Spirit…" Dao King seized upon a vital piece of information.

Within the Moon God Clan, there truly lingered the indestructible True Spirit of a Chaotic Demon God.

That was a fearsome deity existing before the creation of the heavens.

Dao King felt a chill in his heart. If he hadn’t gotten this information from Heaven’s Secret Pavilion and launched a rash assault on the Star Realm, activating the ten life heavenly coffin and releasing the Chaotic Demon God’s indestructible True Spirit would mean certain disaster.

"Thank you, Master," Dao King said, cupping his hands respectfully.

Although he disliked Ye Xu, he greatly admired his abilities.

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave now," Ye Xu said.

"Yes."

The four men withdrew.

"Master, shall we attack the Star Realm immediately?" Yan Duxing said solemnly. "For this battle, I wish to go to the Star Realm and kill enemies for our sect."

Dao King nodded with satisfaction and smiled. "No need to rush."

"First, spread the news and gather the troops. We will attack the Star Realm after ten days."

His ultimate goal was Nangong Zhandao.

Therefore, he had to attract Nangong Zhandao’s attention.

"Master, let’s go back first."

The three boarded a golden boat, shattered the world barrier, and charged into the Sea of All Realms.

Boom!

At that moment, an extremely terrifying aura erupted over the Sea of All Realms. An ancient and vast city slowly rose from the seabed.

The city radiated a profound aura, as if weathered by endless ages, yet a gap of several zhang wide marred one corner of its wall, lending it an absurdly ludicrous air.

"The Everlasting City of Desolation…" Dao King murmured.

The Everlasting City of Desolation had emerged. Though Dao King had not gone there himself, he had long heard the news.

Seeing it now, he instantly guessed its identity.

Swoosh!

As the Everlasting City of Desolation appeared, waves surged across a million li of sea. The city rose steadily, breached the world barrier, and plummeted into the Yuan Realm.

An immense aura swept through the entire Yuan Realm.

Immortals and Emperor Venerables gazed toward it, utterly horrified.

"The Everlasting City of Desolation has entered the mortal realm."

Ye Xu sat in Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, looking distantly at the gradually ascending ancient city, a faint smile curling his lips.

"It grows more thrilling by the moment."

Various powers began entering the fray.

Crash!

The Everlasting City of Desolation hovered high in the sky while threads of chaotic energy, thick as dragons, anchored the ancient metropolis.

"After all these years, we can finally leave the Everlasting City of Desolation and see the outside world."

The Undying Divine Clans’ members wore expressions of joy.

Xuanxin released his Divine Sense, enveloping the entire Yuan Realm.

"Huh…"

He looked surprised. "In this world, there is actually a place even my Divine Sense cannot penetrate!"

"That is Heaven’s Secret Pavilion."

Lin Qianmo said with a light smile, "Its Master is the only transcendents in this entire universe."

Xuanxin felt an inward chill.

He had already learned of the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion’s power from Li Ruoyu.

"This Master plays in the mortal realm, caring not for power, solely focused on business," Lin Qianmo said. "So, do not worry Heaven’s Secret Pavilion threatens us."

"On the contrary, with enough resources, you can buy any information there."

Xuanxin was utterly bewildered.

"Does such an idle transcendents truly exist?"

The Hall Master’s Elder also wore a strange expression.

Lin Qianmo smiled calmly.

"Secular cultivation detached from grudges and entanglements, like that Master, is also rather fascinating."

"But with your shallow cultivations, it is only natural you wouldn’t understand."
