From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Li Yang was shocked.

’Celestial Moon Emperor fell five quadrillion years ago, so does that mean all these powerful Emperors inside the black bead have been dead for five quadrillion years?’

Even for the Human Race, five quadrillion years was an unfathomably long time!

After reviewing the information, Li Yang looked at the black bead in his hand again. In his eyes, it now seemed even more mysterious!

’Who killed all these Emperors, and who put them inside this black bead? What was their purpose?’

Countless questions now swirled in Li Yang’s mind.

After observing it for a while longer, Li Yang finally decided to put the black bead away.

’Those Emperor corpses are shocking, but they’re useless to me,’ Li Yang thought, shaking his head.

The treasures on the Emperors’ bodies had all lost their power, and he had no intention of taking out the Human Race’s Celestial Moon Emperor for the time being.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain how he’d discovered Celestial Moon Emperor’s body.

’When I’m truly powerful in the future, I’ll take out Celestial Moon Emperor’s body and deliver it to the Stone Moon Race.’

’Forget it. I’ll head back to Earth first.’

Li Yang took a deep breath, pushed the thoughts aside, and prepared to place the black bead into his Spatial Ring.

”Master, there’s a message. It’s from inside the Saint Hall,” Virtual Assistant No. 6 said, appearing just as he was about to put it away.

”Oh? What is it?” Li Yang asked upon hearing this.

”It’s the second opportunity the Saint Hall has granted you...”

As No. 6 was speaking, Li Yang was already reading the message.

”Li Yang, the Thunder Spirit Race’s Thunder Pool body tempering will begin in three days. Please proceed to the Thunder Spirit Race within three days...”

The message was displayed before him.

’Another opportunity?’ Li Yang was clearly a little surprised.

He had just left the Star Moon Race. He didn’t expect to be heading to the Thunder Spirit Race for another opportunity less than two days later.

”Master, it’s not surprising.”

Virtual Assistant No. 6 was clearly quite intelligent. It explained, ”Master, you were originally scheduled to receive the inheritance at the Star Moon Race for one year. The Thunder Spirit Race opportunity was scheduled for more than three years after that.”

According to the Eternal Saint Hall’s arrangements for the Human Race, Li Yang was supposed to stay with the Star Moon Race for a year, then cultivate for over three years before the Thunder Spirit Race opportunity was arranged.

But unexpectedly, Li Yang had caused a huge stir among the Star Moon Race, pulling a fragment of their Sacred Artifact, the Sword Net Array, from the Star Moon Stele. This directly extended his inheritance period by two years.

Because he had lit up the Star Moon Stele with a purple light, he was highly valued by the Star Moon Race. They took the initiative to befriend him and allowed him to go to their secluded cultivation ground, which led to him staying with the Star Moon Race for over four years before leaving.

No. 6 added, ”Furthermore, the Thunder Spirit Race’s body tempering is initiated for everyone at the same time. Once the energy has accumulated, they allow their clan members to enter. The time just happens to be now, which is why it feels so soon for you, Master.”

After hearing No. 6’s explanation, Li Yang thought for a moment and said, ”No. 6, what exactly is this Thunder Spirit Race body tempering?”

No. 6 explained, ”Master, the Thunder Spirit Race is a race that excels at physical combat. They possess a supreme treasure, the Thunder Pool. By entering the Thunder Pool, one can absorb its energy to strengthen their physical body!”

”Moreover, the energy within the Thunder Pool is unique. If you can condense enough of it, you can even form your own unique Evil Qi Domain!”

”Evil Qi Domain?”

Hearing this, Li Yang’s interest was piqued. ”What’s the use of this Evil Qi Domain?”

”Master, during combat, activating an Evil Qi Domain will instantly give you a massive boost in strength!”

No. 6 continued, ”Also, every Law has four major profundities. Mastering one makes you a World Master. Mastering all four makes you one of the Deities! And for the vast majority of Laws, one of those four profundities is a domain!”

Li Yang nodded. For example, the Fire Element Law had four major profundities: Fire Domain, Fire Armor Body, Endless Generation, and Core Meltdown.

The Space Law had four major profundities: Spatial Domain, Teleportation, Space Freeze, and Spatial Collapse.

A Law’s domain was one of the profundities for almost every type of Law.

”And possessing an Evil Qi Domain provides some assistance in comprehending the domain profundity of any Law.”

”A Law’s domain must be comprehended on your own, whereas this Evil Qi Domain doesn’t require comprehension, but there are similarities between the two types of domains.”

Hearing this explanation, Li Yang nodded in complete understanding.

The Space Law, Time Law, Thunder Law, and Fire Element Law he was currently comprehending all included a domain profundity.

If he could acquire an Evil Qi Domain, it would clearly help his comprehension of the domain profundities for all four of these Laws.

”Of course, Master, this Evil Qi Domain is very difficult to condense. Even top-tier geniuses can only barely form a prototype, with a maximum range of one thousand meters,” No. 6 said.

”The more energy you absorb, the stronger the Evil Qi Domain you condense will be.”

A thousand meters might seem large, but to a top-tier expert, such a distance was practically negligible.

”I see.” Li Yang nodded, now understanding more about the Thunder Pool and the Evil Qi Domain. He then opened the file on the Thunder Spirit Race, preparing to learn more about them.

’The Thunder Spirit Race is also in this region? They aren’t too far from the Star Moon Race. But the Thunder Spirit Race is a bit weaker than the Star Moon Race; they have no Hegemon, their strongest expert is an Emperor, similar to the Fire Nether Divine Beast race...’

Li Yang absorbed the information bit by bit.

”Hm? So this is the Thunder Spirit Race?”

After a quick search, information about the Thunder Spirit Race appeared before Li Yang, including an image of what they looked like.

Their skin was rock-like, but entirely gray, and they had a pair of purple wings on their backs.

They even had four eyes on their faces, and these eyes were two different colors.

This appearance made Li Yang pause.

’The black bead?’

One of the five giant beasts he had first seen inside the black bead looked just like this!

’There’s the corpse of a Thunder Spirit Race Emperor inside the black bead’s space?’

Li Yang was a little surprised. What a coincidence!

He looked at the black bead in his hand, and a wisp of his soul entered it once more.

Since Li Yang was about to visit the Thunder Spirit Race, he was naturally a bit more interested in the corpse of this Thunder Spirit Race Emperor.

The giant beast’s corpse, which radiated an astonishing Evil Qi, was right before Li Yang’s eyes. The weapons on its body had lost all their fluctuations.

”Hm? What’s this?”

Taking a closer look, Li Yang was about to withdraw when he suddenly noticed a token-like object next to the powerful Thunder Spirit Race Emperor.

The moment his soul touched it.

BOOM!

A faint wisp of consciousness suddenly emanated from it. It was so weak that if Li Yang’s soul hadn’t been at the Perfection level, he would never have been able to sense it.

The information within this consciousness was...

”Please help... Token... Thunder Spirit Race...”

After being released, the weak consciousness immediately dissipated.

’There was still a trace of consciousness left?’ Li Yang was stunned. This Thunder Spirit Race Emperor had been dead for five quadrillion years, yet a faint wisp of his consciousness remained.

The consciousness was incredibly weak and the information was fragmented, but Li Yang was still able to figure it out.

’Take this Token back to the Thunder Spirit Race?’

He thought for a moment, then withdrew his consciousness. With a single thought, the Token from inside the black bead appeared in his hand.
