Chapter 515: The Strongest in History

Although they had mixed feelings, the members of the Thunder Star Beast race were actually more joyful than anything else.

It didn’t matter if this genius appeared in the tenth branch or another; once he matured, the entire Thunder Star Beast race’s strength would increase.

While the many Thunder Star Beasts were overjoyed, the experts from the other Alien Races felt far more conflicted.

“The Sovereign of the Thunder Star Beast race has descended?”

“Super-grade Talent in the Five Elements… If a genius like that appeared in my race, it would also cause our Sovereign to descend.”

“The Thunder Star Beast race really lucked out this time.”

Beside them, Xun Lie was also a bit shocked by the Sovereign’s arrival, but his face was all smiles. He looked at the Alien Race experts before him and said with a laugh, “Haha, what do you all think of my race’s genius, Mu Xuan?”

But at that moment, Xun Lie thought to himself, ‘Mu Xuan’s Talent is actually this strong. With so many experts from other races here, there’s no way we can keep this a secret.’

‘We’re only allied because of mutual interests. Would these Alien Races really want a prodigy from our race to mature? Impossible.’

‘So, news about Mu Xuan will definitely spread and become known to the many other races in the Cosmos.’

“Xun Lie, I admit it. Your race has truly produced a prodigy.”

“This Talent might even be a bit stronger than the Human Race’s Li Yang. At the very least, they’re on par with each other.”

“That’s right. The Human Race’s Li Yang has been cultivating for longer than your race’s Mu Xuan, and Li Yang hasn’t comprehended the Dark Law either.”

“Congratulations, Xun Lie.”

The Alien Race experts all spoke with smiles on their faces. Of course, no one knew what they were truly thinking.

“Xun Lie, since your race’s talent event is over, we’ll be taking our leave.”

After exchanging a few more words, the Alien Race experts began to bid their farewells one after another.

Xun Lie was currently basking in his success, and they… had no desire to see his triumphant expression.

“Haha, take care.” Xun Lie was indeed feeling triumphant, and the smile on his face remained exceptionally bright.

He felt no need to hide it from these Alien Race experts. He wanted to show off, to rub it in their faces.

After watching them leave, the broad smile on Xun Lie’s face slowly faded.

With a flicker of his figure, he appeared directly beside the elder, Baleng.

“Elder Xun Lie,” Baleng said with a hint of reverence as he looked at him.

This Xun Lie was an Emperor Level expert of the Thunder Star Beast race, and he was presiding over this talent test.

“Baleng, were you unaware that Mu Xuan’s Talent was this strong?” Xun Lie asked, his brow slightly furrowed.

“With such powerful Talent, it’s impossible to hide it from the outside world now.”

Elder Baleng had been incredibly excited before, but beneath his excitement, he understood what Xun Lie was saying.

‘Talent this powerful… it might even be comparable to the Human Race’s Li Yang!’

‘And look at the Human Race’s Li Yang’s current situation.’

‘The Demon Race and other major races have joined forces, even camping out at the edges of the Slaughter Battlefield, just to ambush and kill the Human Race’s Li Yang and stop his growth.’

‘If news of their own Mu Xuan’s Talent gets out, he’ll probably be hunted down relentlessly by the other races too.’

‘Compared to the powerful Human Race, their Thunder Star Beast race is much weaker. The danger to Mu Xuan might be even greater than that faced by Li Yang.’

Elder Baleng shook his head. “Elder Xun Lie, Mu Xuan did briefly mention his Talent before. He said he had cultivated for a hundred years and had only just broken through to the World Realm. I didn’t know the specific details, so I had no idea his Talent was actually this powerful.”

He felt helpless. There was a clear gap between the strength Mu Xuan had displayed previously and the results from the Talent Stone Tablet.

Hearing this, Xun Lie also shook his head helplessly. “This kid… Most people can’t wait to show off their full Talent, yet he goes and hides it.”

‘If we had known Mu Xuan’s Talent was this strong, we most likely wouldn’t have let him take the test and would have hidden him away in secret.’

‘Even if he were discovered later, he would have at least had a period of peaceful growth.’

“Forget it. What’s exposed is exposed. The Sovereign and the others should have ways to protect Mu Xuan.” Xun Lie stopped dwelling on it. Since the race’s Sovereign had already appeared, Mu Xuan’s safety was no longer his concern.

…

Meanwhile, Li Yang’s Thunder Star Beast clone felt his surroundings change, and he found himself in a new location.

Before him floated the body of an incomparably massive beast. Its entire form emanated a timeless, eternal aura, and the surrounding void seemed on the verge of collapsing under the sheer pressure of its presence.

Gazing at the enormous Thunder Star Beast, Li Yang quickly said, “Greetings, Sovereign.”

Li Yang had already anticipated that his Talent would be enough to startle the Sovereign of the Thunder Star Beast race into making an appearance.

‘It was no surprise. In just eighty years, he had broken through to the World Realm in the Four-Element Laws and the Star Lord Realm in another. And it wasn’t just a simple breakthrough, either.’

‘Take his Fire Element Law, for example; he had already mastered two Profundities!’

‘And the Talent Stone Tablet could detect the specific degree of his Law comprehension… Such Talent would rank in the top ten in the entire history of the Human Race!’

‘A genius like this had never appeared in the history of the Thunder Star Beast race. Of course they would place immense importance on him!’

‘The Talent displayed by his Thunder Star Beast clone was leagues better than Mixed Void’s when he had first entered the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall. And back then, a Sovereign of the Human Race had descended to take Mixed Void as a disciple.’

“Mu Xuan,” the Sovereign of the Thunder Star Beast race instructed as he looked at Li Yang’s clone, “fully display your Laws for me.”

Even the Talent Stone Tablet could only give a rough measure of Li Yang’s Law comprehension; the exact details were bound to be somewhat off.

“Yes.”

Li Yang’s Thunder Star Beast clone nodded.

He no longer held back in front of the Sovereign.

With a wave of his claws, he displayed his Laws one by one, concealing nothing!

Everyone’s comprehension of Laws is different. Previously, Li Yang’s main body’s strength was a combination of various factors, such as the Hexagram Spear and the Destruction Spear Skill… These were what gave him the power to slay Deities.

As for the specific state of his main body’s Law comprehension, probably very few people knew.

Therefore, Li Yang’s Thunder Star Beast clone wasn’t worried that someone would connect him to his main body.

After all, this was the first time he had revealed his comprehension of the Dark Law, and he had also passed the Thunder Star Beast race’s Soul Hall inspection.

As he watched the display from Li Yang’s Thunder Star Beast clone, the Sovereign’s eyes lit up.

‘He has mastered two Profundities in the Fire Element Law, and he’s close to mastering a second Profundity in both the Space Law and Time Law. Even in his weakest Dark Law, he has mastered more than half of one Profundity…’

Sensing the specifics of the clone’s Law comprehension, the Thunder Star Beast Sovereign’s eyes shone even brighter.

This degree of Law comprehension was even greater than he had imagined!
