Chapter 514: Startling the Dominator

“Eighty… eighty years! This Mu Xuan has only been cultivating for eighty years!”

“In just eighty years, he broke through to the World Realm with four laws and reached the Star Lord Realm with a fifth.”

“Gods, how does he cultivate? We Thunder Star Beasts are born at the World Realm and can easily grasp the explosive profundities of the Thunder Law, but it still takes us at least several hundred years to make our first breakthrough!”

“Super-grade! Five super-grade law Talents!”

“Is the clan’s Talent Stele broken?”

Everyone watched in shock, all of them wondering if the Talent Stele was broken or something.

For a Cultivator, eighty years is an incredibly short time.

Take a top-tier race in the Cosmos like the Human Race. In their most recent genius selection, even the absolute top-tier talents would at most reach the Longevity Realm in eighty years. They wouldn’t even touch the Star Lord Realm.

To any powerful expert, eighty years passes in the blink of an eye.

“Eighty years?”

Lei Xuan was also stunned, staring in disbelief.

‘So Mu Xuan really was hiding his strength.’

One hundred years and eighty years—that’s a twenty-year difference! Twenty years might pass in a flash under normal circumstances, but in this context, it was impossible to ignore!

Beside Lei Xuan, his younger brother also wore a look of utter disbelief. “Brother, is this what you meant when you said Baleng’s lineage was about to rise?”

His older brother had told him that Baleng’s lineage was on the verge of rising and that their status would greatly improve. He had been confused at the time, not understanding why Lei Xuan would say such a thing.

But now, seeing the results on the stele, he understood completely.

The weak Baleng lineage had actually produced a monstrous genius!

Super-grade talent in five laws… Nothing like this had ever appeared in the history of the Thunder Star Beast race!

…

Not far from Lei Xuan, Xun Lie was also dumbfounded.

‘This Mu Xuan…’ He had only hoped to use Mu Xuan to give those experts from the allied races a vicious slap in the face. He never expected Mu Xuan to display talent that would make him the strongest in their race’s history!

Beside Xun Lie, the expressions of the various members of the Alien Races changed abruptly. One by one, they rose to their feet, all traces of their earlier mockery gone.

“Eighty years, broke through to the World Realm in four laws, and the last one, the Dark Law, is at the Star Lord Realm!”

“His talent in all five laws was rated as super-grade!”

“To think the Thunder Star Beast race has produced such a monstrous genius!”

“The human Li Yang only comprehended four laws.”

“This genius from the Thunder Star Beast race has comprehended one more law than the human Li Yang. His future growth potential is even greater!”

“He didn’t just break through to the World Realm. Look at those purple light dots—they’ve almost reached the top of the stele! This means that not only has the young Thunder Star Beast’s four laws broken through to the World Realm, but he has likely progressed a great deal within the World Realm itself!”

“That’s right! The Thunder Star Beast race’s Talent Stone Tablet doesn’t just test one’s realm; it also provides a comprehensive evaluation of potential and the depth of one’s comprehension!”

“Even his weakest law, the Dark Law, is rated as super-grade talent!”

…

The expressions on the faces of these experts from the Alien Races shifted as they stared intently at the Thunder Star Beast, Mu Xuan, below the stele.

Super-grade talent in five laws… With such talent, becoming one of the Five Elemental Deities would be effortless. With just a little more progress, he could become an Emperor!

And with such powerful law talent, if he becomes an Emperor, this young man from the Thunder Star Beast race would be an exceptionally powerful one.

The Thunder Star Beast race hadn’t produced a peerless genius in a very long time. Now that one had finally appeared, he was this heaven-defying!

Currently, the human Li Yang is widely acknowledged as the strongest genius in the Cosmos. But the young man now standing beneath the Thunder Star Beast Talent Stele is definitely his equal!

As the talent test results appeared, everyone around him was in shock, but Li Yang remained calm.

He couldn’t help but think, ‘This Talent Stone Tablet of the Thunder Spirit Beast race is truly strange. It actually managed to detect my exact cultivation time!’

His Thunder Star Beast avatar had indeed only been cultivating for eighty years.

BOOM!

As he was lost in thought, the surrounding space suddenly seemed to freeze. Everyone was rendered immobile.

And before the massive stele, a figure had appeared at some unknown moment.

The figure was blurry and indistinct, its true appearance impossible to discern. But in its presence, space froze and time stood still. It was as if spacetime itself had lost all meaning, and the figure had become the absolute center of the entire Cosmos.

“The Sovereign!”

Upon seeing this figure, the many Thunder Star Beast experts present grew instantly excited, their voices filled with immense reverence.

“Is that the Sovereign of our Thunder Spirit Race?”

“Gods, this is the first time I’ve ever seen the Sovereign of our race!”

“It must be because of Mu Xuan! Mu Xuan’s talent prompted the Sovereign to descend!”

The other Thunder Star Beasts didn’t recognize the newcomer, but upon learning his identity, they too became excited and said respectfully, “We greet the Sovereign!”

The Sovereign of the Thunder Spirit Race descended, his gaze falling upon the Thunder Star Beast, Li Yang.

“You. Your talent is quite good.”

He said this, then with a wave of his right hand, he and the Thunder Star Beast Li Yang vanished in an instant.

WENG…

The frozen space instantly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened at all.

No one could have imagined that a moment ago, a mighty Sovereign had actually descended!

The surroundings erupted into an uproar once more, especially the members of Elder Baleng’s lineage, who were practically mad with joy.

“Haha, Mu Xuan’s talent actually prompted the Sovereign to descend personally.”

“Super-grade talent in five laws! Mu Xuan has only cultivated for eighty years, and four of his laws have already broken through to the World Realm. Talent like that is definitely number one in our race’s history! It’s only normal that it would attract the Sovereign’s descent!”

“Mu Xuan is from our tenth branch! Who said our tenth branch couldn’t produce a genius?”

“Lu Kaixiu, what do you have to say for yourselves now?”

The young men and women of Elder Baleng’s lineage were thrilled. They had always been oppressed, holding in their frustrations, and had desperately hoped for a genius to appear in their branch and lead them to prominence!

But they also knew this was just an extravagant hope.

Earlier, when they heard that a genius might have appeared in their lineage, they had rushed over immediately. Even if it was just a sliver of hope, they hadn’t been willing to give up on it.

And now, before their very eyes, a genius had truly appeared—and one so monstrously talented at that.

They could finally, unreservedly, release all their pent-up frustrations.

Faced with the ecstatic tenth branch, the youths from the other branches remained silent, no longer daring to mock them.

‘To think the strongest genius in our race’s history appeared in the weak tenth branch, which only has three Deities.’

‘That Mu Xuan will surely be valued by the Sovereign and taught with great care. With Mu Xuan backing them, the tenth branch’s status will rise.’

With the Sovereign having descended, Mu Xuan would most likely be taken as his disciple. One could only imagine what the tenth branch’s status would become.
