Chapter 521: Want a Genius?

Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone appeared directly in the void.

This clone was equipped with some weapons, but it had no Divine Artifacts.

To be safe, none of Li Yang’s other clones would have Divine Artifacts. That way, if one were to perish, Li Yang wouldn’t feel the loss at all.

"Let’s go!"

Previously, Li Yang wasn’t very skilled at controlling his Thunder Star Beast clone, but now his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone was quite adept. It charged straight toward the other Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon engaged in battle!

In just a few minutes, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone arrived at the location.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two powerhouses were battling in the void, their strength clearly evenly matched.

Without hesitation, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone flew straight over.

In reality, this clone’s strength was obviously quite weak. Without using the Destruction Spear Skill, it was no match for Deities at all.

However, upon seeing Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone arrive, the expression of the combatant from the Alien Race changed slightly.

’Another Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon? Could there be a Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon unit nearby?’

His expression shifted, and he immediately turned to flee.

It was well known that races with astonishing reproductive capabilities, like the Human Race and the Demon Race, produced the most Deities, making their appearance on the Slaughter Battlefield the most common.

However, many other races rarely appeared, and the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragons were one such example.

It was no joke—Sky-Fierce Flood Dragons were born with mastery over the profundities of three different laws of the World Realm!

If their reproductive ability were as astonishing as the Human Race’s, with billions of individuals on a single planet, could you imagine billions of people all mastering three profundities and reaching the World Realm, just a step away from becoming Deities?

That was clearly impossible.

That was why Sky-Fierce Flood Dragons rarely appeared on the Slaughter Battlefield; encountering even one was already a difficult feat.

The Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon Deity saw the alien flee but didn’t give chase. Instead, his gaze fell upon Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone, and he flew directly over.

"Who are you? Which tribe are you from? How come I’ve never seen you before?"

The young Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon asked, looking at Li Yang’s clone.

Logically, anyone who appeared on the Slaughter Battlefield should be quite outstanding. Such an individual would be conspicuous, yet he didn’t recognize this one at all.

"A tribe?"

Hearing the youth’s words, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone. "I don’t belong to any tribe," it said.

"You don’t belong to any tribe?"

The youth frowned slightly at this. "Then where do you come from?" he asked.

Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone replied, "I come from a desolate star region. I’ve been cultivating in seclusion and only recently entered the Slaughter Battlefield."

Upon hearing this, the young Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon understood at once. "So you’re one of our kin who has been wandering the outside world."

It was common for Sky-Fierce Flood Dragons to venture out and leave descendants behind.

However, regardless of where Li Yang’s clone came from, since they were of the same race, the young Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon’s attitude was quite friendly. "My name is Han Yun, from the Thirteenth Tribe of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race."

"I am Kong Yu," Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone said, once again giving itself a casually chosen name.

"Kong Yu, one of our clan’s elders is just ahead. Would you be willing to come with me to meet him?"

Hearing the name Kong Yu, the young Han Yun nodded. "We’re all from the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race. Even though you were born in the outside world, you should still return to the clan."

At his words, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone feigned hesitation for a moment before replying, "Alright."

He was overjoyed. ’It worked again.’

...

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Two giant, flood dragon-like beasts flew side-by-side through the void, heading for a certain destination.

"Kong Yu, how many years have you been cultivating? How is your comprehension of the laws?" the young Han Yun asked casually, looking at Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone.

"Just now, when I saw you display your laws, it seemed like you were using several different kinds?"

’Here it comes.’

Hearing this question, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone knew that his answer would immediately attract the attention of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race.

He was perfectly calm as he replied, "Around seventy-odd years."

His law clones had been nurtured sequentially; first, the Thunder Star Beast clone on Earth, and then, only after Earth made contact with the Cosmos, did he find an opportunity to nurture the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone.

In terms of age, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone was definitely younger than the Thunder Star Beast one.

"How many?"

Hearing Kong Yu’s answer, the young Han Yun froze for a moment and couldn’t help but repeat his question.

"Seventy-odd years," Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone repeated.

The young Han Yun was now visibly stunned. Based on the attack Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone had displayed, even if it hadn’t reached the Divine Realm, it was at the very least an extremely powerful expert within the World Realm. Reaching that stage should have taken an incredibly long time.

Yet the Kong Yu before him had done it in just over seventy years? Was that even possible?

’News had recently spread of a monstrous genius from the Thunder Star Beast race, but even that genius had cultivated for eighty years. Has the Kong Yu before me cultivated for even less time?’

In his shock, the young Han Yun hurriedly asked, "Kong Yu, you’re not lying to me, are you?"

If this was true, it would be absolutely fantastic news for the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race.

’Our race hasn’t produced a genius in so many years,’ he thought. ’This Kong Yu is an absolute, peerless prodigy.’

"I’m not lying," Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone said.

"Great! Kong Yu, I’ll report this immediately!"

After confirming several times, the young Han Yun added hastily, "The elder will surely be delighted to hear this!"

He quickly sent his report. Less than ten seconds later, he looked back at Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone and said excitedly, "Kong Yu, the elder told us to find a place to hide and wait for them. They’re coming right away!"

...

This was a tall mountain range where three enormous flood dragons currently stood. The one in the lead, in particular, radiated an aura that far surpassed that of the Deities. Clearly, this was a powerful Emperor!

On the Slaughter Battlefield, the outer regions were almost exclusively populated by those at the World Realm. A little deeper inside, one would find experts at the Divine Realm.

However, beings from even stronger realms could also enter.

"Xuan Mo, what of the matter I had you monitoring?" the massive, Emperor Level Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon asked in a deep voice.

Beside him, the Deity named Xuan Mo replied respectfully, "Elder Heiya, that monstrous genius of the Thunder Star Beast race, Mu Xuan, has not reappeared since entering their Saint Mountain. We don’t know the specifics of his situation. Whether or not he has awakened the Thunder Star Beast race’s heaven-defying Talent, Thunder’s Judgment, remains unknown."

The interior of the Saint Mountain was a world of lightning, yet from the outside, it appeared perfectly calm. This meant that outsiders couldn’t see what was happening inside at all.

Few knew whether Li Yang’s Thunder Star Beast clone had remained inside the Saint Mountain the whole time or had been eliminated early.

After all, even if he were eliminated early, the top experts of the Thunder Star Beast race could simply prevent Mu Xuan from leaving and take him directly to their Land of Legacy.

"Damn it."

The Black Sub-Emperor’s eyes filled with gloom. "That Mu Xuan’s Talent is so powerful, it’s entirely possible he’ll awaken the Thunder Star Beast race’s heaven-defying Talent, Thunder’s Judgment. If he does, his future achievements will be unimaginable!"

"To think the Thunder Star Beast race produced such a monstrous genius! Our Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race is even more powerful, our life-form hierarchy is higher—so why haven’t we produced a genius of our own?"
