The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

In his field of vision.

A large amount of text gradually manifested.

[Name: Heart of the Evil Heavenly Venerable]

[Grade: Eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor]

[Description: Countless years ago, during the peak of the Immortal Realm Universe, numerous top-level experts near the Heavenly Dao Realm were born, and the Evil Heavenly Venerable was among them. The apocalyptic battle for the Realm Source back then was too terrifying, and even someone as strong as the Evil Heavenly Venerable was annihilated, leaving behind only a single heart.]

[Note: Revivable]

Upon seeing this, Ye Feng's breath stagnated.

"So that's what it is!"

Some time ago, he had read many stone carvings detailing the ultra-ancient history in Sky Piercing City and learned that countless years ago, a world-ending battle had erupted in the Immortal Realm.

At that time, the Immortal Realm Universe had almost been blasted apart.

Aside from those Heavenly Venerables, nearly all the other Hundred Tribulations Realm Immortal Emperors had perished.

The Evil Heavenly Venerable had also fallen during that time.

However, it seemed that this person hadn't completely died.

His heart had undergone petrification and remained buried underground in the Evil Clan World, occasionally causing energy tides by relying on its innate talent to absorb starry sky energy.

Over time, it might revive.

"Based on this information, one could deduce that the Evil Heavenly Venerable's heart coming into this temporal fissure introduced the Spiritual Energy, which eventually gave birth to the Evil Clan World."

"If I take the Evil Heavenly Venerable's heart, this world will lose its energy tide phenomenon."

Ye Feng analyzed.

"But how should I deal with this heart?"

Standing near the Evil Heavenly Venerable's heart, Ye Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

The heart could be revived.

Yet even Ye Feng wasn't sure how much energy it would take to stimulate its revival, nor could he tell if the other party would return to its peak state or start cultivation anew.

"If the Evil Heavenly Venerable revives, he will likely attack me because, after all, I killed the Evil King."

"And the Evil King was one of the Evil Heavenly Venerable's descendants."

Ye Feng stroked his chin again.

He felt that he might be in danger.

"How about refining this heart and implanting it into my Micro-Universe to trigger energy tides that could help accelerate its growth?"

At this thought, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

"Alright, let's do that!"

Ye Feng immediately took action.

First, he activated the "Decrypting Eye", releasing decrypting radiance to envelop the Evil Heavenly Venerable's heart, analyzing and unraveling its internal seals.

Thump! Thump!

The Evil Heavenly Venerable's heart beat incessantly, causing waves of energy tides that dimmed vast stretches of the starry skies in the Immortal Realm and plunged numerous powerful beings into chaos.

Underground in the Evil Clan World.

After swallowing an immense amount of energy, the Evil Heavenly Venerable's heart began to compress, eventually shrinking to the size of a head while emanating profound power.

"What a dense aura!"

"This is an item at the Eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor level. If I directly place it into my Micro-Universe, wouldn't it explode under the pressure?"

Ye Feng felt a pang of worry.

But moments later, he gritted his teeth and, using both hands, grabbed the petrified heart and hurled it into his Micro-Universe.

At the same time.

Ye Feng also vanished.

Inside the Micro-Universe.

Within an endless expanse of starry space.

Ye Feng's figure emerged, observing the head-sized heart of the Evil Heavenly Venerable flying ahead, eventually submerging itself into the core of a Sun.

There, it absorbed the intense heat. Its stone-like exterior began to shed, revealing its true form.

It was a heart of dark gold!

Its surface radiated layers of brilliance. Upon closer inspection, Ye Feng discovered countless luminous runes imprinted on it, containing the Evil Heavenly Venerable's cultivation technique and experiential knowledge.

"This is the Evil Heavenly Venerable's legacy!"

"And there isn't a trace of his Divine Soul or Life Mark in it. It seems he has indeed perished completely."

"The so-called 'revival' of this heart is actually about passing down the legacy, not the comeback of the Evil Heavenly Venerable himself. How disappointing."

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly.

If the Evil Heavenly Venerable could have returned, Ye Feng would have taken advantage of his weak current state to bind him within the Micro-Universe and mark him with its imprint.

Even if the Evil Heavenly Venerable fully revived, he would remain a being subservient to the Micro-Universe, under Ye Feng's control.

But alas…

Ye Feng's grand schemes had fallen through.

The Evil Heavenly Venerable was utterly, irreversibly dead and couldn't return to life.

"These runes are excellent. I can scatter them across the universe to transform into Laws that will stabilize it."

Ye Feng grinned.

He continuously activated "Decrypting Eye", breaking down the heart into purple radiance filled with countless Laws, which dispersed throughout the universe.

Some merged into stars.

Some entered nebulae.

Some augmented suns.

Some diffused into the air, spreading to all corners.

The entire universe became reinforced with these Laws and inheritances, growing remarkably sturdy.

"Impressive!"

"Now, as long as I gather enough energy, I might even ascend to Creation Realm Layer Ten or Twenty!"

Ye Feng burst into laughter.

Whoosh!

He arrived at the Ancient Mechanical Star.

By this time, the Hexagonal Ancestral Box had completed the derivation of the second species, but it hadn't yet scanned the carbon-based lifeforms from the Misty Realm Star, so the appearance of the new species remained unknown.

Just then.

A wisp of purple Law thread floated by, drawn into the Hexagonal Ancestral Box, merging with the derived runes in its second compartment.

Buzz!

The Hexagonal Ancestral Box trembled slightly as its emotionless mechanical voice spoke:

"The Ancient Mechanical Star cannot consist solely of virtuous mechanical beings; there must also be malignity to maintain balance within the star."

Not far away.

Ye Feng heard this statement and smirked with a trace of amusement.

At that moment, a Teleportation Array appeared on the Hexagonal Ancestral Box's surface, transporting over a three-meter-long pit viper for scanning, before sending it back.

Then, the creation process began.

As a large quantity of materials was absorbed by the Hexagonal Ancestral Box and modified within, it projected onto the ground, operating like a printer to create a three-meter-long pure black one-horned pit viper. Strangely, it had four short legs.

"Hiss!"

The Mechanical One-Horned Pit Viper raised half of its body from the ground, its head half a meter high, glaring at the nearby Hexagonal Ancestral Box and the four humanoid Mechanical Black Tortoise Clan Guards, its purple eyes flickering with malevolence.

Click-clack!

With a burst of mechanical transformation sounds, the three-meter-long black one-horned pit viper quickly shifted into a humanoid mechanical form roughly one foot tall.

It appeared slender, with a snake tail trailing behind its back.

Its glaring eyes sparkled brilliantly.

Its lower body, though shorter, had thick, powerful legs equipped with sharp claws.

The two upper limbs were slightly thinner, each with four fingers bearing claw-like fingernails akin to fangs.

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"And who are you?"

The black mechanical being glared at the Hexagonal Ancestral Box and the humanoid Mechanical Black Tortoise Guards, a puzzled look glowing in its pupils.

"You are from the Mechanical Evil Dragon Clan!" boomed the Hexagonal Ancestral Box, "I am your creator, your everything."

"Oh, really?"

The Mechanical Evil Dragon squinted at the four Mechanical Black Tortoise Guards, sensing the immense energy flowing within their bodies and feeling an intense desire to devour them.

In the next instant.

It lunged forward, striking out with its arm at one of the Mechanical Black Tortoise Guards.

"Foolish arrogance!"

The targeted Mechanical Black Tortoise Guard accelerated swiftly, using its rhomboid shield to slam into the Mechanical Evil Dragon, sending it flying and crashing heavily into distant rocks, shattering several boulders.

"You're quite rebellious."

The Hexagonal Ancestral Box's cold mechanical voice rang out once more.

"I, the Mecha Evil Dragon King, was not created by you, nor do I owe you loyalty!" The Mechanical Evil Dragon sneered, showing no allegiance to the Hexagonal Ancestral Box, and turned to flee.

The Hexagonal Ancestral Box did not give chase.

Nor did the four Mechanical Black Tortoise Guards, though a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.

"Creator, why aren't we pursuing him?"

"The Mecha Evil Dragon King is a threat and cannot be allowed to grow unchecked."

"Indeed!"

"Please permit me to destroy him!"

The four Mechanical Black Tortoise Guards spoke in turn.

"No need! The Mecha Evil Dragon King is my creation, and the essence of malignity was instilled by me. No matter how strong he becomes, I can suppress him in an instant."

The Hexagonal Ancestral Box remained composed.

With just one thought wave, it could paralyze the Mecha Evil Dragon King or revert it to beast form, significantly diminishing its combat power. Thus, there was no need to worry.

"But he might pose a threat to my clan members."

One of the Mechanical Black Tortoise Guards remained apprehensive.

"Being selected as my guards signifies that you are no longer connected to your offspring. Henceforth, you need only protect me... although I don't truly require your protection."

The Hexagonal Ancestral Box spoke indifferently.

It was the Creator.

Infighting, battles, and integrations among its subordinate races could provide inspiration for the creation of new species.

And so, it had created the Mechanical Evil Dragon Clan.

This was the first antagonist of the Ancient Mechanical Star!

In the distant void.

Ye Feng crossed his arms, watching all of this with a cold detachment, his eyes devoid of emotion.
