At the Core Land the Ancestor God Cult, the massive and dazzling Ancestor God Palace sits, surrounded by the floating Eight Directions Beast God Hall.

The Thunder Beast God Hall is one of the Eight Directions Beast God Hall. The palace is over 100 million kilometers high, and beneath its magnificent and dazzling exterior lies a space-time within.

In this space and time, there are rivers, mountains, ice and snow, deserts... scenery everywhere.

The endless, continuous mountain range, in particular, presents a scene resembling Purgatory.

"Roar..." "Whoosh..."

"Roar..." "Whoosh..."

The rhythm, seemingly as gentle as breathing, shook heaven and earth.

Each roar fills a spacetime with lightning, exceeding one light-year in diameter, with endless bolts of lightning shooting forth. Each whoosh causes a fierce wind to howl, destroying countless mountains, stopping rivers, and sending desert sands swirling into the sky...

Suddenly--

The roaring and shouting stopped.

Who disturbed my sleep?

A thunderous sound resounded throughout the entire space-time. A gigantic Beast God with three hooves, wings, and a body covered in blue fur stood up. It was over 100,000 kilometers long and its body was filled with terrifying divine power. Every step it took could cause the earth to tremble and mountains to collapse.

"The other seven Beast God have all been slacking off and I don't know where they've gone. I'm so envious. The Ancestor God is really something, making me responsible for managing the trivial matters of the religion for 100 million epochs."

"Ugh, how long have I been asleep? Only 30 million epochs, and I still have to stay here for 70 million epochs before I can leave?"

The enormous Beast God, covered in blue fur, moved about, causing space and time to tremble.

"Come in!" Thunder Beast God commanded.

Suddenly, a space-time portal opened up within the Beast God Hall, and the divine generals who had been waiting outside the Beast God Hall entered.

"Bloodfire Divine General pays respects to the Beast God." The Bloodfire Divine General streaked across the sky and landed atop a mountain range, gazing up at the enormous Beast God in the distance, and respectfully greeted him.

"I have said that unless something truly important happens, do not disturb my slumber." The Thunder Beast God looked down at the Bloodfire Divine General, exhaling white gas from his nostrils, causing the surrounding mountains to vanish into nothingness, and countless bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, as if expressing the Thunder God's wrath.

The world seemed to be collapsing.

Bloodfire Divine General bowed respectfully. "Beast God, there is indeed something important to report."

The Ancestor God Cult has existed since the birth of the universe, and its operation has long been systematic. They do not need to compete for territory or cultivate races. Their daily affairs can be handled by their divine generals. As for the Beast God... they are too lazy to manage these things, let alone connect their consciousness to the Glory World.

If this matter were not truly of great importance, Bloodfire Divine General not have wanted to disturb this Beast God.

"Explain."

The Thunder Beast God looked down at the tiny creature before him.

The Divine General inheritance is extremely difficult, and few people can receive a complete Divine General inheritance. However, once someone does this, they can be considered Universe Overlord, and in this case, they are called a "Candidate Divine General." The Bloodfire Divine General is the one who inherits the position of divine general and can definitely be considered top-tier Universe Overlord, comparable to some of the most ordinary cosmic lords.

"We have discovered a cosmic genius worthy of our Ancestor God Cult's cultivation," Bloodfire Divine General Lian said.

"Cosmic genius? You interrupted my slumber for this?" Thunder Beast God's voice was filled with suppressed rage, and his eyes flashed with lightning.

For the Thunder Beast God Beast God, who inherited the position of Beast God and whose status was second only to the Three Ancestral Gods, his standards were naturally extremely high. What did so-called cosmic geniuses count for? Geniuses like "Ke Di," who could be called "once in hundreds of millions of epochs" by the human race, were completely disregarded by the Ancestor God Cult Sect.

Every inheritor of the Ancestor God Cult is a top genius among all races in the universe; otherwise, they would never have been able to obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token. However, after arriving here, they almost all become just ordinary people. Compared to those powerful Special Lifeform, the geniuses of Myriad Races in the universe inevitably pale in comparison.

Only Special Lifeform with an extraordinary Life Gene Level, such as the Bug Hunter King, are qualified to be favored by the Ancestor God Cult and receive its special training.

"Of the 108 Great Treasures in the Treasure Land, he opened two in succession, ranking 3rd and 91st respectively!" Bloodfire Divine General said repeatedly. "This kind of example is unprecedented. And according to what I know, he has only been in the Ancestor God Cult for a little over a hundred years. In fact, when he first arrived, he had only comprehended the first level of the Light Path of the Beast God."

"What! Such a low level of mastery in the Beast God Inheritance, yet he was able to unlock two great treasures in the Treasure Land?" The Thunder Beast God's voice boomed, his enormous eyes filled with shock. "Who is he?"

It is very clear what this means.

The specific conditions for opening the Treasure Land are kept absolutely secret and managed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake control system. Apart from the one who placed the treasure, only the supreme Ancestor God can know the secret behind it, and even it has no way of knowing.

However, the conditions are absolutely stringent. Being able to open any one of the treasures means that one is a promising talent with great potential, and opening two treasures at the same time is simply unimaginable.

Especially... those with low attainments in the Beast God Inheritance would be filtered out by the vast majority of treasures!

"According to the intelligence of my Ancestor God Cult, he was born into the human race. More than 5,000 years ago, he won first place in Stellar Level Genius Battle and entered the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company. His Cosmic level cultivation Law Comprehension after a hundred years were comparable to that of Marquis. When he was at the Domain Lord level, he was assassinated by the Zerg Alliance. The assassin was a High-class Universe Venerable inheritor in my Ancestor God Cult, 'Venerable Jue Guang'. Because he was protected by Venerable Ancestor Tree, Venerable Jue Guang perished."

"Perhaps considering the threat from other races, his movements have always been very mysterious. When he rose to fame again, he directly killed a Mechanical race expert who was almost Invincible Feng Wang. At this time, he had only cultivated for three thousand years, but he had already stepped into the Immortal realm and possessed Invincible Feng Wang combat power!"

"After remaining silent for over two thousand years, he suddenly entered my Ancestor God Cult, received the Beast God Inheritance, and spent 160 years in seclusion. On his first visit to the Treasure Land, he unlocked two great treasures!"

Bloodfire Divine General explained.

"Hmm? Human talent can be this high?" Thunder Beast God pondered. "Being able to open two great treasures... means that what he has shown may only be the tip of the Iceberg. After all, the length of his previous cultivation cannot be used as a basis for the Five-Colored Aurora Lake control system. Apart from these, this human genius must possess even more amazing talents."

"Beast God, it was precisely because of this that I disturbed your slumber. His rate of progress surpasses all known peerless geniuses in the universe, including many Special Lifeform. In addition, he hides many secrets and is an extremely worthy successor," said Bloodfire Divine General.

"Pay attention to him, from now on, keep paying attention to him." Thunder Beast God nodded, his voice booming, "To be able to defy the heavens to this extent, this is not just a matter of talent, but should also be related to some Special Encounters. However, he is of the human race and cannot be completely loyal to my Ancestor God Cult, so we will not take any other measures for the time being."

"By the way, what's his name?" Thunder Beast God asked.

"King Xuanyuan! His real name is 'Lin Yan'," said the Bloodfire Divine General.

"Take a good look. If he reveals any other special abilities in the future, report back to me. I am also very curious to know what else this peerless genius of the human race is hiding..." Thunder Beast God.

"Yes, Beast God." Bloodfire Divine General bowed respectfully.

Suddenly--

His expression suddenly changed.

"What is it now?" Thunder Beast God asked, seeing his expression.

"King Xuanyuan, King Xuanyuan has opened the treasure trove once again, this time... it's the highest peak of the Treasure Land!" Bloodfire Divine General hurriedly said.

"He unlocked the Highest Mountain Treasure? This, how is this possible?" The Thunder Beast God stared wide-eyed, filled with disbelief.

It wasn't just the Bloodfire Divine General and Thunder Beast God who felt incredulous; countless inheritors present at the scene, whether they were King Rank or Universe Venerable, were all questioning their existence.

Who I am?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Since the birth of the universe, through countless ages and billions of inheritors, the 108 Great Treasures, which have only been opened 42 times, were opened three times in a row by the same person on this day!

Two of them are among the top three.

It even includes the most precious treasures that, according to legend, were personally placed there by the Ancestor God!

"How... how did he do that?" Even the melancholy young man in the semi-transparent purple armor couldn't help but break down in shock. "This is just too outrageous!"

Purple Rain Venerable was just there for the fun of it. With his strength, he didn't really care much about this so-called Treasure Land. He had actually obtained the 11th ranked treasure. He only came to take a look after hearing that someone had opened the 3rd ranked treasure.

He still has no shortage of treasures at the High-class Supreme Treasure.

But this clearly does not include the highest peak.

This is a treasure that the Ancestor God himself put in!

The Ancestor God Cult is the number one power in the universe. The Three Ancestral Gods undoubtedly stand at the very top of the Primordial Universe, and even the Universe's Strongest beings of those peak races cannot shake them. How low could the value of the treasures placed in by such beings be?

According to Purple Rain Venerable, it is definitely a Top-tier Supreme Treasure!

Only the Top-tier Supreme Treasure are worthy of the status of the Ancestor God and are qualified to become the most precious treasures in the Treasure Land!

This idea was clearly not unique to him; it was a consensus shared by countless inheritors of the Purple Thorn Island.

"Top-tier Supreme Treasure, absolutely Top-tier Supreme Treasure!"

"Top-tier Supreme Treasure are usually only possessed by the rulers of the universe. This King Xuanyuan, who is merely Invincible Feng Wang, has actually obtained such a peerless treasure!"

"Once he reaches the level of Universe Venerable, coupled with this Top-tier Supreme Treasure, he will become another super strong individual among the human race."

"An Invincible Feng Wang can be lucky to have a few treasures. What makes him worthy of taking away this Top-tier Supreme Treasure? Adding the previous two treasures, he already has three Supreme Treasure."

"What can you do if you're not convinced? Try to steal it? Anyone who dares to attack King Xuanyuan under the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will surely perish... And once he returns to Purple Thorn Island, as long as he's not stupid, he only needs the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to send the obtained Supreme Treasure back to the Human territory. Who can still covet them? Even if he perishes by accident, given his status, the universe's lord of the human race will surely immediately Reverse Space-Time to revive him. As long as those Supreme Treasure are still there, there is no loss whatsoever."

The inheritors were discussing it animatedly.

Some were shocked and horrified, some were envious and jealous, and some harbored ill intentions... But no matter what they thought, this place was ultimately within the range of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake of the Ancestor God Cult and under the protection of the Ancestor God Cult. Not to mention them, even the Lord of the Universe could perish here if he acted recklessly.

They want treasure, but they don't even have their lives, so what treasure are they thinking about?

Once King Xuanyuan returns to Purple Thorn Island, the Divine Kingdom Teleportation the treasures back to Human territory, ensuring his peace of mind. Even a human genius who walks the Path of Space-Time might not return to Purple Thorn Island after obtaining these three treasures.

But...

What countless inheritors never expected, or rather dared not imagine, was that... the Highest Mountain Treasure was not a Top-tier Supreme Treasure at all, but a genuine Peak Supreme Treasure!

Supreme Treasure are divided into five categories: Ordinary Supreme Treasure, High-class Supreme Treasure, Top-tier Supreme Treasure, Peak Supreme Treasure, Ultimate Supreme Treasure!

In the Primordial Universe, there are very few treasures that can be classified as "the Ultimate Supreme Treasure". Even the human race, which is the most powerful race, does not have a single Ultimate Supreme Treasure!

It is conceivable that... among the human race, the Peak Supreme Treasure is already the most top-tier treasure.

Of course, the value of Peak Supreme Treasure varies greatly. The less valuable ones include War Soldier, while the more valuable ones include Domain-type, Soul-type, and Palace-type. The difference between the two can be as high as tens of times. Even the most ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon requires 1200 Supreme Treasure Points to exchange with the human race.

In comparison, the most precious Supreme Treasure Lin Yan possessed before entering the Treasure Land should be the Soul Supreme Treasure "Illusion Realm Bead". Ordinary Soul Supreme Treasure are generally worth between 36 and 120 Supreme Treasure Points, while the Illusion Realm Bead is a relatively high-grade one, worth about 90 Supreme Treasure Points.

The Peak Supreme Treasure Armor is even more precious than the Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon.

This is a treasure that even the Lord of the Universe would covet.

"Fortunately, the Ancestor God Cult has this Treasure Land. Otherwise, where would I, a World Master, find a Peak Supreme Treasure Armor?" Lin Yan was overjoyed. "I have many treasures on me, but they won't be very suitable once I reach the Universe Venerable. However, this Azure Lotus Divine Armor will accompany me for a very long time. Even after I break through to the Universe Lord level, I will still be able to use it."

Supreme Treasure can only be activated when one's strength reaches a certain threshold.

The higher one's strength, the stronger the power of the Supreme Treasure; however, the power of the Supreme Treasure has its limits, and the Supreme Treasure Armor also has its limits in terms of endurance.

Ordinary Supreme Treasure treasures and armor have no effect on the Lord of the Universe; what they pursue are Top-tier Supreme Treasure, Peak Supreme Treasure, and even the Ultimate Supreme Treasure.

Obtaining a Peak Supreme Treasure at the World Lord level warmed Lin Yan's heart.

At this time.

The Five-Colored Aurora Lake has fallen for the third time, this time covering the highest mountain peak.

Whoosh!

As if the entire mountain peak had cracked open, a stream of azure light slowly flew out and fell into Lin Yan's hand.

Within A World in the World Ring, a magnificent suit of armor, tinged with azure and gold, floats in the air.

The armor is mainly made of blue metal, with a lot of gold trim. The carved patterns are like layers of lotus petals, with various secret patterns flowing and changing. The whole armor has a faint blue light, which is like Thunderbolt appearing and disappearing, surrounding the Green-Gold Battle Armor.

Lin Yan felt the ancient aura emanating from the Green-Gold Battle Armor, which was like an unscalable, Sky-Connecting Jianmu Tree, making him completely breathless.

"This is the Peak Supreme Treasure Armor! The Azure Lotus Divine Armor!" Lin Yan could hardly contain his excitement.

His Spiritual Imprint was imprinted within it, and instantly an ancient message was transmitted into Lin Yan's consciousness.

The Azure Lotus Divine Armor has three forms. The first form can reduce Material Attack to one percent, the second form can reduce Material Attack to one-thousandth, and the third form can reduce Material Attack to one ten-thousandth.

That's quite normal.

In fact, whether it is Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor, high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor, Top-tier Supreme Treasure Armor, or Peak Supreme Treasure Armor, they are all the same in this respect, with the maximum reduction to one ten-thousandth. The main difference lies in the range of tolerance.

For example, Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor might shatter directly when facing an attack from a universe master, while Peak Supreme Treasure Armor can still be weakened to one ten-thousandth of its original strength when facing a universe master. The difference between the two is naturally enormous.

Certainly--

A very small number of Peak Supreme Treasure Armor can be weakened by 100,000 times, making them even more valuable. Lin Yan doesn't need to hope for that yet; the Azure Lotus Divine Armor in front of him already satisfies him quite a bit.

"Once I reach the level of Universe Venerable, the ones I will truly value will be beings at the level of Universe Lords. Ordinary Supreme Treasure Armor will be of no use to me then, and I will be able to put it to good use." Lin Yan thought to himself with delight.

Before he stepped into the Universe Venerable, the Black Phoenix Armor was enough for him. The Black Phoenix Armor's range of endurance was comparable to that of Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor, except that it did not have a third form and was weakened by up to a thousand times. However, even if he had Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor, Lin Yan's Law Comprehension would at most be at the second form, so there was no difference.

After reaching the Universe Venerable, his strength will undergo a tremendous change, and at that time his abilities will be sufficient to power the Azure Lotus Divine Armor.

"Moreover, the Azure Lotus Divine Armor is made of a special material that affects the Soul Will. It can also weaken Soul Attack to one-tenth of their original strength. However, this is normal, as many Peak Supreme Treasure Armor, except for some of the worst ones, have this function."

After Lin Yan's authority was upgraded, he naturally learned about the Peak Supreme Treasure within the clan and was quite familiar with them.

Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor rarely has the ability to weaken Soul Attack, but the materials used to forge Peak Supreme Treasure Armor are generally extraordinary.

The most precious Peak Supreme Treasure Armor Lin Yan had ever seen in the Human Race Treasury could not only weaken the soul to one percent, but also weaken Material Attack to one ten-thousandth, making it the Peak Supreme Treasure Armor.

The Azure Lotus Divine Armor is in a relatively balanced position; it's not top-tier, but it's not the worst either, so it can be considered quite good.

It is truly a pleasant surprise that even World Master could obtain such a treasure.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The various Aurora that had enveloped the highest peak flew back to the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Lin Yan was still waiting for a message from the Ancestor God, but this time, there was no movement at all, no message at all.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Such a Peak Supreme Treasure was placed there without any restrictions or comments... It's really strange. But if it was just placed there for display, there's no reason why the system could successfully activate the opportunity." Lin Yan was somewhat puzzled.

But he didn't think much of it.

Since he has so many treasures, someone from the Ancestor God Cult should contact him eventually and find out.

Lin Yan glanced around at the surroundings in the distance. Countless inheritors were looking at him, each with a different meaning in their eyes.

Shock, jealousy, greed, resentment...

"As long as I return to my palace, I can use the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to send the treasure back to my Inner World, so... your only chance to make a move is now!"

"Because of you, for thousands of years I have had to live in anonymity and be extremely cautious, until today, when I finally appear outside the Human territory in my true identity."

"So this time... who will be sent to their death?"

Lin Yan licked his lips, a bright smile spreading across his face.
