Chapter 74, Meeting an Old Friend
One year, two years, ten years...
While practicing secret techniques in this training ground, Ye Muxuan would also hunt down alien immortals in the Starry Sea to test the level of his secret techniques, and occasionally return to the military camp base to rest.
The 360 main vines of the Cloud Vine, despite only having a 40% success rate and having consumed precious materials worth 116 billion points, were successfully completed by sheer luck. Although the Cloud Vine is now at the high-level King rank, the Cloud Armor formed from its massive size and resilience makes it comparable in defense to the peak King rank of the human race.
The strongest eighty-one-leaf sword-shaped grass, which cost 469 billion points of precious materials and had a 30% success rate, ultimately failed. The total cost of over 550 billion points was wasted.
This pained Ye Muxuan for a long time. Although with his current wealth, cultivating another Sword Leaf Grass wouldn't be difficult, after much deliberation, he still gave up. He decided to leave some of the money for his clansmen, letting those with exceptional talent cultivate some plant life forms for assistance. With his current survival skills, one or two plant life forms wouldn't be of much use.
Soon, news spread that a human immortal had appeared in the Ninth Battlefield, the Starry Sea. His swordsmanship was ruthless, his movements unpredictable, and he was suspected of possessing the combat strength of a Marquis. Few of the military lord immortals he encountered were able to escape. Because no clear response was received from this human immortal, and his specific title was unknown, the alien immortals in the Starry Sea were vaguely referred to as "Shadow Blade Marquis."
With the opponent set by the Palace Master Bai Feng, the excellent effect brought by the enlightenment of the Pure Soul Source Dew, the research secret technique worth more than 300 million points, and the "Miscellaneous Treatises on Pure Shadows", etc., Ye Muxuan successfully killed his 500th opponent in two hundred years, and his secret technique officially entered the top level.
The truly top-tier secret techniques, once perfected into a complete system, can be entered into the treasure vault, not the crude versions of the past!
Many powerful figures have perished over the endless years and cannot be resurrected for various reasons, but the secret techniques they left behind still circulate in the universe, and Ye Muxuan's current secret technique has the right to be passed down!
The Palace Mistress of Baifeng Palace was surprised by this for a long time.
She had envisioned it taking a thousand years, but she never expected him to achieve it in just two hundred years.
Two hundred years later, Ye Muxuan was trapped by his 600th opponent for a full ten years before finally killing him!
……
In the sea of stars, on a patch of broken rocks, a thin, cold blade of light appeared. In the next instant, the alien race "Star Flame Clan," possessing the strength of a low-level Marquis, had its divine body transformed into specks of starlight and flames, and was ultimately forcibly annihilated.
With the strongest alien immortal killed, how could the remaining two military lord immortals possibly withstand a high-level military lord immortal and a realm lord general with immortal combat power? With Ye Muxuan providing support, escape was hopeless, and they were quickly killed by the high-level military lord immortal. Then, together with the realm lord general, they killed the last immortal.
Before this, most of the nine realm lords of this alien team had been killed by the realm lords of the human elite team. The remaining three realm lords were affected by the aftershocks of Ye Muxuan's sword light, and their primordial beads shattered, causing them to die.
"Thank you for your help, Shadow Blade Marquis!" After the battle ended, the captain of the human immortal squad, an immortal god of the ice element with the strength of a high-level military lord, thanked Ye Muxuan politely. He even let Ye Muxuan choose the spoils they collected after killing the alien race.
Ye Muxuan naturally didn't care about these things. He had already put away the strongest spoils of war from the Star Flame Clan's Marquis-level Immortal. However, he casually picked out a weapon used by an alien Immortal as a spoils of war, which was estimated to be worth around 100,000 Hunyuan. It wasn't the most valuable, but it was still acceptable.
The immortal god of the Frost element was filled with gratitude, feeling that Shadow Blade Marquis truly lived up to his reputation as a powerful figure who had emerged in recent centuries, indeed possessing the demeanor of a strongman. If it hadn't been for the notification from the army system allies that Shadow Blade Marquis was nearby, his squad would have suffered no losses, and it was uncertain whether even one or two members could have escaped. Encountering a Marquis from another race, they would most likely have been completely annihilated.
The nine realm lords, having escaped death, gathered excitedly inside the spaceship. While chatting and distributing their spoils, they couldn't help but glance at Shadow Blade Marquis, their envy barely concealed in their eyes.
While I am still struggling in the Realm Lord stage, he is already a big figure among the Immortals. The title of "Shadow Blade Marquis" that is recognized by the alien race's strongmen is much more valuable than the titles bestowed by the five major forces within the human race!
After exchanging a few words with Ye Muxuan, the Ice Immortal noticed that Shadow Blade Marquis's gaze kept falling on a Realm Lord in the group, so he introduced him, "Shadow Blade Marquis, this is Mei, the Realm Lord of the Nightmare Maiden Clan. She has only been in the outer battlefield for a short time but has already become a Realm Lord General. Her strength is quite impressive."
"Hmm." Ye Muxuan nodded to the Nightmare Maiden, then suddenly asked, "I remember the Nightmare Maiden has a King of Illusion, what are your names to her?"
"Does Lord Shadow Blade know my clan's Lord Illusionary King?" The Nightmare Clan's enchantress, shrouded in a black robe and surrounded by a faint gray aura, slightly lifted her cloak to reveal a round, fair chin and a profile adorned with light purple secret patterns. Her gaze, hidden beneath the cloak, fell upon Ye Muxuan. "Lord Illusionary King is a high-ranking member of my clan and also my teacher."
"I do know Huanli King, but unfortunately, he's not familiar with me yet. I guess we'll get to know each other better later." Ye Muxuan nodded, then said to the Immortal Captain, "Now that the matter is resolved, I won't stay any longer. I wish everyone good luck in living to retirement!"
Huanli Wang, whose real name is Liya, possesses peak King-level strength. She is the strongest among the Nightmare Maiden Clan's two Venerables, and holds an absolute high position above billions of others in the Nightmare Maiden Clan. She is a disciple of the White Phoenix Palace Master, becoming the sixth disciple, and thus Ye Muxuan's sixth senior sister. She has met Ye Muxuan once in the virtual universe; she sent him a congratulatory email when he successfully entered the Primal Secret Realm during the World Lord-level qualification battle. However, it is true that they are not very familiar with each other yet.
A peak-level illusionist is even more terrifying than some peak-level or even invincible illusionists! Although she has been stuck at the peak-level of the King realm for countless epochs, her teacher, Palace Master Bai Feng, still believes that she is likely to reach the Venerable level earlier than her senior brother.
However, the relationship between Huanli King and Yingdao Hou is beyond Mei's control; she is merely a realm lord. As for the captain, he seemed to have realized something and naturally couldn't force anyone to stay. After drinking a toast with Yingdao Hou, he watched Yingdao Hou leave gracefully.
This enchantress was the Nightmare Maiden Realm Lord she had encountered when she first arrived at Shadow Hunter Star; back then, both she and he were Realm Lord Generals. The most important reason Ye Muxuan was able to recognize her was that she possessed a powerful treasure within her body.
Mei possessed a powerful treasure suited to her, but at most she could only activate the first level of its secret runes. Facing a Marquis and two Military Lords, she could only say she had a chance to escape, not a guarantee. After all, this Marquis of the Starfire Clan was an illusionist, possessing exceptionally strong resistance to illusions.
