Flowing mountains, outer realms.
Step by step, over millions of years, 35% of the array foundation before them had been destroyed. The most difficult task involved erasing the runes from the single stone pillar, a process that took a full 25 years. This was only achievable by a fifth-tier universe lord and the strongest being in the universe combined; anyone else might not have been able to accomplish it.
"It's almost there. I feel that if we destroy two more stone pillars, the shift in the base of this array will be enough to affect the operation of the entire array, and then we will be able to break it." Even the Chaos City Lord was somewhat tired after millions of years of relentless effort.
"It should be about a hundred thousand more years," the giant savage beside him said. "If the Primordial Ancestor knew, he would be very happy. The Giant Axe and the Primordial Ancestor are not master and disciple in name, but they are master and disciple in reality. He has received guidance from the Primordial Ancestor and has come this far step by step. Otherwise, how could a cosmic overlord trapped in the Flowing Heavy Mountain have spent millions of years rescuing him?"
"I've already told him." The Chaos City Lord gazed at the magnificent array formations before him, even though part of the array's foundation had been destroyed.
However, it still possesses the ability to bewitch the soul and will of a Universe Lord. If trapped within the formation, even the will of a Universe Lord would certainly not be able to withstand it. "The teacher was surprised and also very happy."
If it weren't for the fact that the divine kingdom still existed and his avatar was still asleep, they would have all thought he had perished.
In truth, his demise might actually be a good thing, at least the Giant Axe Founder could resurrect him. However, trapped in an illusion and asleep, unable to interfere with his avatar within the formation, he could only watch him slumber for countless eons. Was he supposed to annihilate his soul while trapped in the illusion? Neither the Giant Axe nor Chaos could do that.
"Our ancestor has been waiting for this day for a long time." The founder of the giant axe nodded. "Let's put in more effort and see if we can break the formation within 100,000 years."
"Um."

Inner domain, Sapphire Valley.
The newly born Qing Yuzhu stared at the law-inspired patterns carved on a 700,000-kilometer-tall stone pillar in front of her, mentally rehearsing them countless times.
At a certain moment, a bamboo branch tens of thousands of kilometers long fell off, and divine power outlined the laws and secret patterns on the bamboo branch. When the last stroke was completed, the laws and secret patterns combined to form a complete secret pattern diagram, and the entire bamboo branch exuded a heavy aura.
Become!
Over millions of years, he started from the shortest stone pillar, imitating the secret patterns on it, beginning with the simplest law-based secret pattern engraving, exploring and progressing step by step. Today, he has finally engraved a complete secret pattern on the bamboo branch of Qingyu Bamboo.
As Qing Yuzhu examined the bamboo branch, he could sense a trace of "suppressive" power emanating from it.
"If we had several, or even dozens or hundreds, of suitable materials, and inscribed these law-based runes on them, wouldn't it be possible to form the base of a sealing formation?"
"No, no, most of the palace's treasures also have sealing functions, but they don't have these kinds of law-based runes on them. Is it because they're inscribed elsewhere and I couldn't find them, or are they too complex for me to decipher right now?"
The newly born Qing Yuzhu took out his black sphere, the pinnacle palace treasure, and carefully examined the four layers of secret patterns on it.
"Then let's continue!" The newly born Qing Yuzhu leaned towards a gray-brown stone pillar, which was 900,000 kilometers long and a million kilometers away, and began to study the secret patterns on it.
Ye Muxuan, who was engrossed in studying the secret runes of the laws and had not noticed the passage of time, suddenly received an email jointly signed by the Lord of Chaos City and the founder of the Giant Axe, calling for a Giant Axe meeting!
Every Great Axe Meeting is a major event that affects the entire tribe!
Even if he becomes the "Lord of the Universe," it's just that the Lord of Chaos City sends an email.
Ye Muxuan snapped to attention, connected to the virtual universe, and rushed to the Giant Axe Temple.
Over the millions of years, Ye Muxuan's Huang clone in the Cosmic Sea has proven its strength, even revealing its self-created strongest secret technique for the Lord of the Universe. Although its position has not changed, it is no longer the bottom one among the Lords of the Universe.
While powerful treasures played a significant role, Lord Youhou didn't possess nearly as many high-quality treasures. However, the universe is realistic and cruel; you only need to have strength that commands respect from others. How that strength is acquired, whether through external forces or not, is irrelevant.
When Ye Muxuan arrived at the Giant Axe Temple, it wasn't too late, but it wasn't too early either. Seven or eight Universe Lords had already arrived, and within a few short seconds, all nineteen Universe Lords had arrived.
The space rippled slightly, and a savage giant with disheveled hair appeared at the head of the table. At the same time, at the other end of the stone table, opposite Ye Muxuan, a seat appeared, occupied by a young man in a white robe.
Ye Muxuan carefully examined the man opposite him.
This man looks so unfamiliar. Is it worth the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe Founder jointly signing a document to summon all the universe lords? Ye Muxuan confirmed that he had never seen him before, nor was he one of the many universe overlords who might have entered the realm of universe lords but were in seclusion, nor had he seen him among the hidden powerhouses of the human race.
The man sitting opposite Ye Muxuan wore a well-fitting white robe, and his smile was warm and gentle. His most striking feature was his eyes.
Bright and clear, his gaze seemed to see right through people. His face wasn't particularly handsome, not comparable to the universally acknowledged beauty of the Ice Peak Lord, but about the same as Ye Muxuan's. However, the moment Ye Muxuan saw him, he felt as if he were seeing a reliable, steady, kind, and gentle senior brother.
He now holds an extremely high position and possesses an innate air of authority. Moreover, neither the Ice Peak Lord's eldest disciple, Venerable Emperor Hai, nor the Dark Lord's eldest disciple, Lord Youhou, nor even the Giant Axe Founder's eldest disciple, Lord Xujin—the current head of the Giant Axe Arena—have given him this feeling! As for Venerable Guiyi, the Chaos City Lord's proxy outside, he also lacks a certain air of authority!
However, unlike Ye Muxuan who was sizing up the stranger, seventeen of the other eighteen universe lords, excluding the Chaos City Lord, stood up at once!
The appearance of this white-robed man shocked them even more than when Ye Muxuan contributed the map of Liuchong Mountain!
Of the twenty-one powerful figures present, only four remained seated: the founder of the Giant Axe, the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Shadow Blade, and the white-robed man.
"Gentlemen, I'm back." The man in white robes slowly rose, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. He was not arrogant at all, but rather gentle and refined. "I'm very happy to see you all still here."
"very good!"
"Very good!"
"good!"
"It's so good to be back!"
"How did you get back?"
"Good, good, it's good to be back!"
Amidst the ramblings of the cosmic lords, the white-robed man bowed to the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord at the head of the stone table.
Then, amidst the astonished gazes of many universe lords, he bowed to Ye Muxuan, the Shadow Blade Lord, opposite him.
"Thank you so much, Aurora!"
Ye Muxuan suddenly stood up.
He might not be able to accept this gift!
"Mu Xuan, you deserve this courtesy. If you hadn't obtained the map of Liuchong Mountain, marking the dangerous areas and the solutions, neither Giant Axe nor I could have rescued him. So, it's only right that you accept his courtesy." The Chaos City Lord at the top of the stone table on Ye Mu Xuan's side spoke with a smile, introducing, "If you don't know him, let me introduce him. He is the Palace Master of Aurora Palace, my eldest disciple, and also a descendant of our teacher. He was trapped in an illusionary formation in Liuchong Mountain trillions of years ago and has only just escaped."
"Aurora, this is your Uncle Bai Feng's youngest disciple, Mu Xuan, whose title is Master of Shadow Blades. The greatest credit for rescuing you this time is that he obtained a map that perfectly covers your area; otherwise, Giant Axe and I wouldn't have dared to go there." Without the map, they, the greatest pillars of the human race, wouldn't dare gamble on being able to rescue someone from the formation!
Ye Muxuan felt a little dizzy.
The most mysterious eldest disciple of the Chaos City Lord is also a descendant of the Primordial Ancestor! Any one of his identities alone would be enough to overwhelm these universe lords present, let alone the combined identity!
Therefore, the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City have not entered the inner domain or even the core area of Flowing Mountain for hundreds of years in order to rescue this Lord of Aurora Palace!
P.S.: I was thinking, I didn't write the last paragraph. Although you can all guess what it is, I don't know if that will get me in trouble.
