Chapter 524 High-Stakes Gamble

The blade flashed repeatedly, so fast that only afterimages remained. In less than sixty seconds, the divine body of the supreme being of the demon race disintegrated inch by inch and vanished into nothingness.

"You killed a cosmic master?" Luo Feng's throat tightened, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"The Lord of the Universe... isn't that hard to kill." Chung Kwok-hung looked down at his palm, as if he had just swatted a pesky flying insect.

"We've really struck it rich!" He Tiezhu grinned broadly, his eyebrows beaming with joy. He wasn't surprised at all that Zhong Guoxiong had managed to slay the Black Mountain Lord—his master was always unfathomable, and his master's younger brother was wielding countless treasures...

"I don't want the spoils, you can divide them among yourselves." Chung Kwok-hung waved his hand, his tone as casual as if he were offering a basket of fruit.

"You don't even care about the possessions of the Lord of the Universe?" Luo Feng was speechless.

"It's just taking up space." Chung Kwok-hung replied casually, but it left people speechless.

Luo Feng clutched a pile of relics belonging to a second-tier universe master, his mind churning with mixed emotions.

Even the Lord of Chaos City would be moved by a treasure of this caliber, let alone him now.

The cosmic venerable one who was protecting the three in the shadows moved his fingertips slightly, and a secret message broke through the air and went straight to Chaos City.

Chaos City, deep within the main hall.

"An invincible immortal who was crowned king killed the Lord of Black Mountain?"

The Lord of Chaos City sat upright on a jade chair, his voice so low it was almost a whisper.

"Even if Chung Kwok-hung possesses an extremely powerful treasure, his cultivation level is ultimately only at the King-level Invincible realm—how could the Lord of Black Mountain fall into his hands?"

He frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally suppressed the idea of ​​summoning the person immediately.

A moment later, he got up from his seat and headed straight for Earth.

Chung Kwok-hung, Ho Tie-chu, and Luo Feng are all from Earth.

Lin Quan, a human from Earth, has been missing for many years.

The unassuming King Wu, an Earthling.

Lin and Thor, who are just beginning to show their talents, are still Earthlings.

At this moment, as the Lord of Chaos gazed at the small blue dot on the star map, he felt for the first time that this inconspicuous mother star weighed heavily on his heart.

The main body was stationed in Chaos City, while an avatar teleported out via the divine kingdom's passage, landing directly in the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Two hours later, he stepped into the atmosphere and landed on Earth.

Is Chung Kwok-hung here?

The sound was like a gentle breeze sweeping across the solar system, bringing peace and tranquility to all things, and no one frowned or felt uncomfortable.

"The Lord of Chaos City?" Zhong Guohong appeared out of thin air, his smile warm, as if he had been waiting for him all along.

"You recognize me?" The Lord of Chaos City asked, slightly surprised.

"I've heard others mention it a few times," Chung Kwok-hung nodded.

"I apologize for my abrupt arrival and hope you will forgive me." The Lord of Chaos City was extremely respectful.

"Please." Chung Kwok-hung stepped aside to lead the way.

He took his seat in the living room and personally brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea.

As the aroma of tea wafted out, the Lord of Chaos City's nose twitched slightly; after taking a small sip, his body suddenly froze, his eyes lost focus, and he entered a meditative state on the spot.

"So... you've figured it out?" Chung Kwok-hung smiled, his eyes lowered, fully aware of the situation.

After a long while, the Lord of Chaos City slowly opened his eyes, his expression solemn, and bowed deeply: "I have learned a lot."

"It's nothing," Chung Kwok-hung waved his hand, his smile undiminished.

"Are you aware of Zhong Guoxiong's killing of the Lord of Black Mountain?" The Lord of Chaos City cut to the chase.

"I have always seldom inquired about matters of foreign lands," Zhong Guohong said calmly, without any emotion.

"The Lord of Black Mountain was a second-tier universe lord of the demon race. Zhong Guoxiong killed only one of his avatars," the Lord of Chaos City slowly explained.

"Oh," Chung Kwok-hung responded softly, offering no further comment.

Once one cultivates to the point of immortality, creating clones becomes commonplace.

Which being at the level of a universe master doesn't have several substitute incarnations?

"I heard that the treasure Zhong Guoxiong uses was bestowed upon him by you?" The Chaos City Lord's gaze narrowed slightly.

"Yes, I gave him a few items." Chung Kwok-hung nodded frankly.

"How many?" The Chaos City Lord paused, his breath catching in his throat.

"Just a supreme treasure." Zhong Guohong raised his eyes, his tone calm. "I can refine it."

"You can refine the most powerful treasure?" The Chaos City Lord's pupils shrank suddenly.

"These two items are just sitting idle anyway. If the city lord doesn't mind, please accept them." Zhong Guohong flipped his palm, and a battle blade gleaming with cold light and a suit of armor with flowing light appeared quietly in mid-air.

The treasure basin operates day and night, and the energy it gathers in a single day is enough to create hundreds of billions of treasures of the same rank.

"This...this..." The Chaos City Lord's Adam's apple bobbed, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a moment.

"These two supreme treasures are just hidden away in my possession. I'll give them to you—it'll be a small contribution to our human race." Zhong Guohong said lightly, a smile playing on his lips, but the words "give before you take" were already etched into his very bones.

He had just traversed the territory of the mechanical race and then swept through the lands of the demon race.

Strictly speaking, that wasn't extortion, it was accepting gifts.

When he was with the demon race, he traveled around under the title of "Master Tianhu," and elders, kings, and ancestors from various races lined up in a long queue, each holding a treasure box.

Even in the territory of the Machine Race, transforming into a "humanoid novice" still results in a mountain of gift lists and a tower of congratulatory gifts.

Humans, Demons, Machines, Insects, Prisoners, and Crystals—the six pinnacle races of the primordial universe, none of which can be missing.

At present, he has not yet even begun to explore the Star Marrow Vein in the heart of the Zerg, the Soul Flame Crystal in the Forbidden Land of the Prison Clan, the Condensed Light Stone in the Ancestral Mountain of the Crystal Clan, the Ancient Origin Jade hidden in the secret of the Human Clan.

Giving two supreme treasures to the Lord of Chaos City? Worth it.

It not only strengthened the backbone of the human race, but also paved a golden road for itself.

From now on, as long as you hang up the sign "Master of Treasure Refining Who Can Refine the Most Powerful Treasures", people will flock to your door seeking treasures.

"Thanks!" The Chaos City Lord's voice trembled, and his eyes brightened.

"I'm obsessed with refining treasures and I also love tinkering with elixirs. The few new spiritual elixirs I've just refined are specifically designed to help world lord-level experts break through to higher realms..." Zhong Guohong said, half-truthfully, leaving room for interpretation.

Without saying a word, the Lord of Chaos City handed over a world ring.

"Then I won't refuse." Zhong Guohong tucked the ring into his palm.

"That's how it should be," the Chaos City Lord laughed loudly.

How could this renowned tycoon be stingy with his money?

Seeing him turn to leave, Zhong Guohong raised his hand and offered him five catties of Enlightenment Tea.

Luo Feng, Zhong Guoxiong, and He Tiezhu had already joined the Virtual Universe Company; and the Chaos City Lord was the true leader of this company.

This small gesture is not a bribe, but a gesture of goodwill—a gesture of goodwill toward one's own brother's future.

As expected, after giving away two supreme treasures, he gained two real powers: the freedom to enter and exit Chaos City and the freedom to enter all the secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company at will.

Previously, when we went to the Primal Secret Realm and ventured into Chaos City, we relied entirely on Xiao Hei for cover, sneaking away like a shadow.

What happens next? He strode in, no need to announce his arrival, and no one blocked his way.

Watching the figure of the Chaos City Lord disappear into the void, Zhong Guohong's consciousness sank into the ring.

Inside this world ring, which could contain several solar systems, floated a landmass with a diameter of over ten trillion kilometers.

The forests are lush and green, filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs, with exotic fruits hanging from the branches and lingzhi mushrooms covering the slopes. The entire continent is like a living treasure trove.

"Supreme treasures? I can make them with ease. But these medicinal herbs and exotic fruits, if I were to search for them one by one and dig them up from place to place, it would take me tens of thousands of years to gather them all."

For Chung Kwok-hung, this ring is heavier, hotter, and more tangible than a thousand supreme treasures.
