NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Vast Sea of the Universe and the Angelic Divinity
After the pitch-black black hole disappeared from the azure sky, Lu Yunzhou's figure slowly appeared.
"Greetings, Holy Lord."
At the moment Lu Yunzhou appeared, the elders of the Ethereal Sanctuary all spoke in unison, their expressions displeased.
With a slight nod in response, Lu Yunzhou muttered to himself, "This feeling… is truly exhilarating and satisfying."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to his right hand, and he clenched his fist slightly.
In the next moment, a powerful surge of mana erupted from Lu Yunzhou's body.
This energy was vast like the ocean, mighty like a mountain, deep and inexhaustible.
It felt as if the sky itself was above, invoking a sense of reverence and awe, like the divine presence of the heavens.
"Lu Yunzhou's strength… has improved again!"
Feeling the overwhelming aura of magical power, Elder Golden Crocodile, a core elder of the Ethereal Sanctuary, spoke as his breathing became involuntarily rapid.
How old was Lu Yunzhou?
Not yet twenty, surely?
And Golden Crocodile? Almost a hundred and fifty years old, wasn't he?
The age difference between them was like that of the heavens and the earth,
and even their cultivation realms were worlds apart!
The most important thing was, Lu Yunzhou's strength was like the sky, like clouds, while Golden Crocodile's was like the earth, like mud!
Thus, Golden Crocodile felt deeply uncomfortable, but it was only natural— after all, he had cultivated for most of his life, yet still couldn't compare to a mere youth. Who wouldn't feel miserable in such a situation?
At the same time, this demonstrated just how powerful, formidable, and terrifying Lu Yunzhou was.
"This bastard has taken everything for himself!"
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes gleamed with a sharp light as she thought to herself.
"I don't know why, nor whether it's my problem or Lu Yunzhou's, but right now, I just feel something's off about him, something isn't quite right. Why do I feel this urge to bow down to him? That shouldn't be… it can't be...
"After all, who am I? I'm the Silver Dragon King, half of the Dragon God, so why would I feel the need to submit to him?"
As she thought to herself, Gu Yuena was deeply puzzled, unable to understand why she felt this way.
After absorbing the world's origin energy, Lu Yunzhou had become one of the masters of the Douluo Continent, even the Douluo Star.
As a result, all living beings on Douluo Continent would naturally develop feelings of admiration, respect, and reverence for him.
For an outsider like the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, it was even more pronounced.
Once the black hole was easily dealt with by Lu Yunzhou, the Ethereal Sanctuary returned to its normal state, and everything resumed its usual order, operating smoothly and without disruption.
Looking at his precious granddaughter, Qian Renxue, and then at the distinguished guests of the Ethereal Sanctuary—or rather, Lu Yunzhou's esteemed guests, Gu Yuena— Qian Daoliu wisely spoke,
"Lu Yunzhou, I will take my leave and not disturb you further."
After speaking, Qian Daoliu made to depart.
However, at this moment, Lu Yunzhou suddenly spoke,
"Grand Elder, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's words, Qian Daoliu instinctively paused his steps,
then cautiously replied, "Sanctuary Master, is there something else?"
Nodding slightly, Lu Yunzhou responded,
"I need to borrow something from you."
After hearing this answer and confirming he hadn't misheard,
Qian Daoliu was filled with confusion and astonishment. He replied,
"I wonder, Holy Lord, what is it that you require from me?"
Truthfully, Qian Daoliu could not fathom why Lu Yunzhou would need something from him, and he couldn't understand what Lu Yunzhou might want.
After all, Lu Yunzhou was who he was, and Qian Daoliu was who he was.
It was unimaginable that Lu Yunzhou would need anything from someone like him.
After giving his response, Qian Daoliu awaited with anticipation, eager to hear what Lu Yunzhou would ask for next, while beside him, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena were equally curious about what it could be.
With a slight smile, Lu Yunzhou gave his answer, informing Qian Daoliu of what he desired:
"If I recall correctly, the Angel God's trial has yet to be taken by your sect, right? What I want is precisely that— the Angel God's trial. Of course, if you prefer, you could call it the Angel God's divinity."
Having spoken, Lu Yunzhou did not wait for a response from Qian Daoliu but immediately followed up, continuing with a supplementary request:
"Therefore, I wonder if the Grand Elder might guide me to your Angel Clan's sacred inheritance ground. I need the Angel God's divinity right away, after all, it holds immense importance for me."
After finishing his words, Lu Yunzhou extended his right hand, and a triangular blue shape appeared in his palm.
This was none other than a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire!
Its name?
The Vast Sea Universe Shield!
At first glance, this appeared to be a priceless, rare, and precious soul-guiding tool.
But in reality, this was the Heart of the Sea God—essentially, the artifact for the Sea God's trial!
In the original story, Tang San used this very item to begin the legendary Sea God's Nine Trials, and now, it had found its way into Lu Yunzhou's hands.
You may wonder how Lu Yunzhou came into possession of it?
Naturally, when he left the Heaven Dou Empire, his puppet, the Snow Night Emperor, handed it over to him.
Such a divine treasure was too valuable to pass up.
Seeing that what Lu Yunzhou sought was merely the Angel God's divine trial,
Qian Daoliu did not hesitate for even a moment and immediately responded with a smile:
"It is our honor that the Sanctuary Master has set his sights on something from the Qian family. There is no time to waste, and lest we delay further, how about we retrieve it right away?"
Hearing Qian Daoliu's considerate words, Lu Yunzhou's lips curled into a subtle smile, a satisfied gleam appearing in his eyes. After a slight nod, he quickly replied, "I am at your service!"
With those words, Lu Yunzhou followed Qian Daoliu toward the Angel Hall of the Spirit Hall.
Beside them, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena also immediately fell in step.
Lu Yunzhou's goal for acquiring the Angel God's divinity was simple: to use it in crafting a powerful artifact, one that would help him quickly locate the Dragon Valley.
In addition to the Angel God's divinity, there was one more item Lu Yunzhou needed.
