From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

”Teacher.” Li Yang suddenly spoke up after hearing what the Blade Slaughter Sect Master said.

”Is there something you want to say?” the Blade Slaughter Sect Master asked with a smile.

Looking at the man before him, Li Yang said solemnly, ”I will definitely defeat Lan Yu and be the first to pass the ninth stair.”

His teacher planned everything for him. Deeply grateful, he knew he had to let his results do the talking.

Hearing Li Yang’s words, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master smiled and said, ”Good, Li Yang. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

...

”Li Yang, Li Yang.”

On the mountainside of the Lianyun Mountain Range, Mute called out hurriedly.

Looking at Mute, Li Yang asked, ”What is it?”

”Li Yang, I just got the latest news.” Mute said with a mysterious look on his face, ”Lan Yu went somewhere to train and stumbled upon a huge opportunity.”

Li Yang didn’t say anything. As Longevity Realm cultivators, they could choose to go to various places to train; it was all up to them.

Mute continued, ”That great opportunity was left behind by the Profound Moon Emperor of our Human Race. And just recently, Lan Yu’s teacher, Dulun Emperor, sought out Profound Moon Emperor to guide Lan Yu.”

’Profound Moon Emperor? An opportunity? Guiding Lan Yu?’ Hearing this, Li Yang’s heart stirred.

’My own teacher, the Blade Slaughter Sect Master, invited Yuan Wu to guide me, and now Dulun Emperor has also invited another Emperor to guide Lan Yu.’

At this time, these events had already sparked discussions among many powerful experts within the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall.

”Haha, Blade Slaughter invited Yuan Wu to specially guide Li Yang for a month, and right after, Dulun Emperor went and invited Profound Moon Emperor to guide Lan Yu.”

”Both teachers hope their disciples can pass the ninth stair faster.”

”This is getting more and more interesting. In terms of cultivation resources, Lan Yu clearly has the advantage over Li Yang.”

”You can’t really say that. For Longevity Realm geniuses like Li Yang and Lan Yu, there’s practically no difference between guidance from a powerful Deity and an Emperor.”

”Seeing how things are developing, the two will probably decide a winner sooner than we expected.”

...

After learning of this, Li Yang smiled and said, ”Mute, thanks for letting me know.”

”It’s nothing, Li Yang.”

Mute clenched his fist and chuckled at Li Yang. ”Between you and Lan Yu, I’m firmly on your side!”

He and Li Yang had a good relationship. As for Lan Yu—who had utterly crushed them from the very beginning and headed straight to the mountaintop upon arriving at the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall—Mute had barely interacted with him.

After exchanging a few more words with Mute, Li Yang returned to the mountaintop.

’An opportunity? Guidance from an Emperor?’ Li Yang thought to himself.

His heart was calm. Speaking of opportunities, the one he had within the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan could definitely be called a top-tier one!

...

SWOOSH!

In the territory of the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan, Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar flew out of the Inheritance Tower.

He had become the Fire Nether Divine Beasts’ most powerful genius, but at this moment, few of them knew his identity.

He also had his own new space within the Inheritance Tower, so the other Fire Nether Divine Beast geniuses who came to receive their inheritance couldn’t see him at all.

The upper echelons of the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan valued such a powerful genius immensely, even worrying that the Human Race might get ideas if they found out.

In reality, the Human Race probably wouldn’t have cared.

However, as a vassal of the Human Race, the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan would subconsciously overthink things. Thus, Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar became a secret.

”Flame.”

Just as he flew out, a voice suddenly called. Supreme Elder Zun Lie and the others appeared, all looking at Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar with smiles on their faces.

Apparently, they had been paying attention to the area and came over as soon as he emerged.

”Flame, how has your progress been?” Supreme Elder Zun Lie asked with a smile.

Beside Zun Lie, Clan Leader Fire Prison, Second Elder Zhu Xu, and the others also had faces full of anticipation.

Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar said respectfully, ”Supreme Elder, Clan Leader, Second Elder, allow me to demonstrate an attack.”

He demonstrated his attack. Upon sensing that it was much stronger than before, the eyes of Zun Lie, Fire Prison, Zhu Xu, and the others all lit up.

”It’s not just the Fire Element Law! Flame’s Space Law and Thunder Law have also improved by a huge margin!”

”At this rate of progress, perhaps in less than a thousand years, Flame will be able to completely master all Three-Element Laws!”

”The Human Race has the peerless genius Li Yang, who comprehends the Fire Element, Space, and Thunder Laws, and has already passed the eighth stair of the Path of Deities. But who would have known that we, the Fire Nether Divine Beasts, have also produced a peerless genius who comprehends the Fire Element, Space, and Thunder Laws!”

Zun Lie, Fire Prison, Zhu Xu, and the others were all incredibly excited.

Clearly, they were very satisfied with Flame’s rate of progress in such a short time.

Watching the excited group, Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar felt completely calm.

He was, of course, only revealing a portion of his strength, showing a little more each time.

When it came to Law comprehension, it was impossible to know the true extent without seeing it in action.

Take a Longevity Realm cultivator like Li Yang, for example. At first glance, he just looked like he was in the Longevity Realm. But once he displayed his power, who would have known he could easily kill a Master of the Starry Sky?

’This Fire Nether Divine Beast clan keeps comparing me to my main body,’ Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar grumbled internally.

His and his main body’s Law comprehension were identical, so the name he heard most often from the mouths of Zun Lie and the others was ”Li Yang.”

Second Elder Zhu Xu, in particular, said it the most.

”Supreme Elder, Clan Leader, in terms of Talent, the Human Race’s Li Yang is absolutely no match for Flame! Flame’s current strength might be less than Li Yang’s, but he’s only ten years old! At the same age, even Mixed Void was inferior to Flame!” Zhu Xu laughed heartily.

He had always resented the Human Race and wanted to shake them off. Unwilling to remain a vassal, he dreamed of one day breaking away and allowing his clan to be truly independent.

That was why he was the most excited about Flame’s appearance, believing Flame was a heaven-sent opportunity for them to break away from the Human Race!

”Haha, Li Yang’s Talent is certainly inferior to Flame’s, but it’s hard to say about Mixed Void. After all, he’s one of the top 100 geniuses in the Human Race,” Supreme Elder Zun Lie said with a faint smile.

He could easily tell that at Flame’s current rate of progress, even another thirty years wouldn’t be enough for him to match Mixed Void’s strength.

As for whether Li Yang and Flame were related, the thought had never even crossed their minds.

”Flame, continue your training. Focus on improving your strength.”

After coming to check on Flame’s progress, Zun Lie and the others didn’t stay long and left.

Left alone, Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar continued to gaze at the rows of Inheritance Towers.

’I wonder how the opportunity Lan Yu encountered compares to the one I have now?’

A faint smile played on Li Yang’s lips.

With the combined Law comprehension of his three great avatars, his rate of progress was already no less than Lan Yu’s. And now, he even had the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan’s Inheritance Towers completely open to him!

’I’ve entered the Fire Element Law Inheritance Tower and the Thunder Law Inheritance Tower. Next up is the Space Law Inheritance Tower!’ His gaze quickly locked onto one of the towers.

WHOOSH!

With a thought, Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar vanished, having clearly entered the Inheritance Tower.
