Chapter 302 The Star Tower Has an Owner?
Rewind to the moment Chen Yuan crushed the orange pit.
As the fundamental laws descended upon the Star Tower, the Limitless Kings and Invincible Powerhouses who were originally wandering around the Star Tower area immediately noticed this fluctuation.
"The primordial law of the ocean has descended! Its scope is vast!"
"With such a vast ocean of laws, could someone have broken through to the level of a Universe Venerable?!"
"Without the five-colored vortex, this isn't the sound of someone breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm!"
"A pure ocean of wind laws—this is where a realm lord broke through to immortality."
"Which realm lord has chosen to break through, and with such momentum that it rivals that of a universe venerable being?!"
No one knows who chose to break through to immortality here, or even which race they belong to. All that is known is that they are a heaven-defying realm lord who specializes in the Law of Wind.
Just by looking at this vast ocean of laws, one can tell that after breaking through, this realm lord's strength is at least at the level of an invincible king, no less than that of a cosmic venerable.
The fact that such a talented realm lord would not break through within his own territory, but instead went to the Star Tower region to break through to immortality, is quite intriguing.
At this time, the kings wandering in the Star Tower were mostly from the four top clans, or they were strong people from the clans' subordinate or allied clans.
The moment the Ocean of Laws descended, many people began to speculate whether this person's breakthrough was related to the Star Tower.
Could it be that this supreme treasure, which has stood on the battlefield beyond the Seventh Domain for countless epochs, is finally about to welcome its master today?
Considering the importance of the Star Tower to their respective clans, the powerful figures present unanimously reported the matter to the higher-ups of their clans at the first opportunity.
After all, judging from this commotion, the master of this Star Tower is at most an Immortal. Even if the other party is stronger, he is at most a Universe Venerable.
Such weak strength, yet possessing treasures coveted by even the most powerful clans—there's basically only one word to describe it:
Possessing a treasure is a crime.
Even though this mysterious immortal could wield the Star Tower, a supreme treasure, he was still utterly powerless against the strongest member of his race.
The group of immortals who had been granted the title of King immediately reported to the higher-ups, hoping to notify the strongest members of their clan to come as soon as possible and find the mysterious immortal who was suspected of controlling the Star Tower.
If the person who obtains the Star Tower is an immortal of another race, do your best to kill them and seize the Star Tower that has already been refined.
If it is one of our own, then we must quickly protect them to prevent them from being killed by the strongest of the alien race.
As for the arrangements for the Star Tower—since we're all from the same race, we can discuss it behind closed doors. It's always better to let things rot in our own country than for the enemy to steal them.
However, although these people reported very quickly, even invincible kings did not have a way to directly communicate with the strongest members of their clans and could only report through the chain of command, which wasted a lot of time.
When the strongest beings of the four races descended upon this place, the ocean of primordial laws that had been hovering above the Star Tower had already disappeared.
The Giant Axe Founder was the third to arrive; before him, the Father God of the Mechanical Race and the Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon Race had arrived first.
However, the arrival times of the strongest beings were not much different. Just one second after the giant axe arrived, the Zerg Queen also arrived late.
"Everyone is here."
The disheveled, burly savage looked around, his gaze lingering mainly on the Mechanical Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor: "Mechanical, Dream Tea, you two arrived first, don't you have anything to say?"
"Mengcha and I arrived a second earlier than you, what can you say?"
The black sphere spoke in a calm voice: "I can only say that when I descended in my avatar, I did not find the ocean of primordial laws."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the kings of your human race. These people were there the whole time."
"Haha, fine, I'll believe you this once."
.
Although the founder of the giant axe said this, he had actually asked the king-level experts of his own clan in private, and the answer he got was the same as that of the mechanical progenitor.
The progenitor of the Machine Race and the progenitor of the Dream Demon were indeed only one second earlier than him, and the ocean of laws in the sky had already disappeared twelve seconds before the arrival of the four strongest beings.
Twelve seconds is neither a long nor a short time for an immortal who has just broken through. Fortunately, this time it is the Law of Wind, which means that the opponent is most likely an immortal who cultivates the time side, and at most has mastered the secret of time stop.
If it were a master of spatial manipulation, then those twelve seconds would be more than enough time for the opponent to teleport far away from this area.
In fact, during the time it took for the four strongest individuals to arrive, many space-type kings had already teleported away to avoid encountering the strongest alien beings.
Of course, after the arrival of the four strongest individuals, the space in the Star Tower area was sealed off, and the remaining Kings had no chance to leave.
"Looks like we're a bit late."
The Zerg Queen, who arrived last, gently shook her head: "Many of the Kings have already left. If that Immortal, who is suspected to be the master of the Star Tower, isn't stupid, he should have left this place far away immediately."
"That's not necessarily true."
The silver-white snake head said, "The source that just descended was the Law of Wind, which means that this immortal is most likely an immortal who is skilled in the Law of Time. If he did not master teleportation, he could not leave the range of this Star Tower in just twelve seconds."
"So—I guess this immortal is still hiding inside the Star Tower."
"What the Dream Demon Ancestor said makes some sense, but the reasoning is too one-sided." The Giant Axe Founder shook his head. "If the other party has a king-level servant who can teleport, or an avatar, then they can leave immediately as well."
"Not to mention, the other party has only broken through within the Star Tower's range, which does not necessarily mean that he is the master of the Star Tower."
"Then what do you suggest we do?" the silver-white snake head said. "Are we just going to make this wasted trip?"
"Our purpose in coming here is to check the status of the Star Tower and see if it has fallen into the hands of others."
The founder of the giant axe said calmly, "Now you can see that the Star Tower is still here, and no one can shake it."
"I suspect that the breakthrough to immortality was probably just a coincidence. After all, no one can prove that breaking through to immortality here would satisfy the Star Tower's requirements for recognizing a master."
"What Giant Axe said makes some sense."
The black sphere then changed the subject: "But since we've come all this way, regardless of whether that mysterious immortal has left or not, we should verify the identities of the immortals present, to prevent anyone from blending into the crowd."
What do you think?
"I agree with the mechanical opinion," the Dream Demon Ancestor said immediately, and the Zerg Queen followed suit: "Agreed, it would be good to test it out."
"What about you, Giant Axe?"
As the gazes of the three progenitors turned toward him, the Giant Axe Founder hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I have no problem either."
He then added, "However, any test must be conducted under the watchful eyes of the four of us. If this person is not the mysterious immortal, he must not cause any harm to the person being tested, nor may he steal their opportunity."
"Okay." "Agreed." "No problem."
This request was unanimously approved. After all, as the strongest individuals, they wouldn't be interested in the opportunities offered by a group of King-level Immortals.
The black sphere spoke first: "Let's start with my mechanical race."
"Life is over, you go first."
"Yes, Ancestor." A mechanical race king, dressed in golden armor with black skin, stepped forward. He was calm and allowed the other three strongest beings in the universe to scrutinize him. He even took the initiative to release the treasures from his world ring.
Due to the unique nature of the Machine Race, its superiors have absolute control over the lower-level intelligences. This is why the Machine Progenitor made their race undergo testing first.
Because he had already inquired with all the mechanical immortals in the Star Tower, he was certain that the mysterious immortal was definitely not one of his kind.
As expected, after the Fallen King passed the inspection, one after another, the mechanical race kings emerged and passed the test of the strongest.
Soon, all the mechanical race powerhouses had been checked. They were all individuals whose names were recorded in the rosters of their respective races, and they did not fit the description of mysterious immortals.
After all the mechanical race kings had finished their inspections, the demon and insect race powerhouses also stepped forward for their tests, and all of them passed without any abnormalities.
"Next up is the human race."
The black sphere said calmly, "Giant Axe, what are you hesitating about? Are you feeling guilty?"
Giant Axe frowned slightly, though he himself was unsure whether this mysterious person was truly a powerful human.
Because of the three points—the breakthrough of the wind element law to immortality, the momentum comparable to the advancement to the Venerable, and the breakthrough in the outer realm—a guess arose in his mind.
That was Chen Yuan.
Although this genius realm master is not well-known, all his characteristics are perfectly matched—not only is he proficient in the laws of wind, but he also possesses a perfect genetic clone. It is not surprising that his breakthrough momentum is comparable to that of a Venerable.
In addition, the other party is not currently in the human race, so all three conditions are met.
That's why the founder of the Giant Axe was so conflicted. He had just been thinking about this issue: if the mysterious man really was Chen Yuan, then he would have to protect him at all costs.
The problem is that the ancestors of the three clans are all here now. If the three of them make a move, he alone may not be able to protect Chen Yuan.
But regardless, it was still necessary to confirm whether this person was Chen Yuan, so Giant Axe said calmly, "What do I have to be guilty of?"
"I was just wondering, if even my human race doesn't have anyone who meets the criteria, how should this be resolved?"
"Now is not the time to consider this," the silver-white Kun said calmly.
"The experts of my three races have already completed the examination. If there's anything else, we'll discuss it after the examination of your human race."
"Very well." The Giant Axe Founder nodded and said in a deep voice, "Human powerhouses—step forward!"
"yes!"
As one human king after another stepped forward, despite the meticulous observation of every detail by the three races' progenitors, they still failed to find a mysterious immortal who met the criteria.
Soon, all the human powerhouses had finished their inspections. The Giant Axe Founder breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his expression remained unchanged as he looked at the three: "My human race has also finished its inspection. What do you have to say now?"
"It seems this mysterious immortal has already departed," the Zerg Queen said softly. "Even now, we still cannot determine which race this powerful being belonged to."
"In my opinion, these are not the main points at all."
The founder of the giant axe said calmly, "For us, as long as the Star Tower is still here, that's fine. That mysterious immortal may not be related to the Star Tower; he may have just broken through by chance."
"That makes sense." The black sphere spoke: "What about the Star Tower? Should we seal off the area?"
"To seal off an extremely powerful artifact nine light-years high?" the silver-white serpent head questioned. "Mechanical, do you have that capability?"
"Of course I can't do it alone," the black sphere said honestly, "but the four of us working together can."
"Mechanical, you must be joking."
The founder of the giant axe shook his head. "The four of us, united? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life."
"It's impossible," the Zerg Queen shook her head slightly. "We simply can't trust each other, so how can we possibly join forces?"
The silver-white snake head sneered, saying nothing, but its attitude was clear.
"Fine."
The black sphere sighed. This wasn't the first time they had disagreed, so it said, "Since we can't seal it off, let's leave it as it is."
The remaining three strongest individuals exchanged glances, realizing that maintaining the status quo was indeed the only option, and thus nodded in agreement.
"Can."
