"This is the building." Lin Yan walked through the walls of the ancient building and entered the secret chamber.

Whoosh!

He appeared out of thin air in mid-air, looking down at the endless earth.

Below him were a series of undulating palaces. On the walls of these palaces, it was as if an ancient scroll had been unfurled, with carvings of enormous ships, ancient holy spirit totems, roaring chieftains, and Military Formation. These countless carvings seemed to be telling him a story of ancient history.

"This is..."

"Traces left by the Wu Kingdom's powerful warriors on the Cosmic Boat?"

Lin Yan looked at the carved pattern. The huge ship was obviously Cosmic Boat. The vague pattern seemed to unveil a corner of the mystery, allowing him to touch a trace of the warmth of an Ancient Civilization.

The so-called secret chamber of the token space... perhaps now, many of them have become resting places for the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea on their Cosmic Boat, or left behind some final traces and legacy before the end of the cycle of reincarnation. However, in the heyday of the endless long years ago, it should have been Cultivation Space exclusively for the powerful beings of the Wu Kingdom Legion.

"[The Legacy of the True Lord Zhendan], the system has determined the opportunity level to be [Mysterious]. I originally guessed that it was related to the inheritance of ancient relics, and now it seems that the Wu Kingdom people of the Wu Kingdom left something here."

Whoosh—

"Hmm?" Lin Yan stood in the void, and with a thought, a hazy black light spread out, instantly enveloping the entire secret chamber. In an instant, everything in the entire independent space was under his control.

Whoosh!

He walked through the gate of a palace and entered it.

Ancient carvings adorn the corridors of this palace, testifying to the power and wonder of that ancient civilization.

Suddenly--

Lin Yan looked at the text on the huge wall in the distance, the characters faintly glowing with lightning.

"I am Shen Pan!"

"I am Special Lifeform, having cultivated for over 300,000 epochs. I became the master of the universe by following the Path of the Thunder-Time Beast God. However, to break through to become the Universe's Strongest, I must take a different path! The Beast God path and the like have all been trodden by predecessors, and all of them required abandonment. I have gone through more than half a Reincarnation Era and have gained nothing."

"Until I ventured into the Three great forbidden zones of the Cosmic Boat, I was fortunate enough to discover this Green Token, find this ancient relic in this spatial chamber, and after careful study, I discovered some secrets of the Ancient Civilization. Finally, through the Path of Thunder-Void Fusion, I stepped into the Universe's Strongest!"

"I originally thought this would be my chance to Transcend Reincarnation... Unfortunately, the ancient relics left behind here have extremely profound and unfathomable mysteries. I spent nearly three Reincarnation Era and still couldn't figure them out. But it did enable me to create the Tier 9 peak secret technique, 'Gate of Heavenly Tribulation,' reaching the limit of the Universe's Strongest."

"Young man, since you have obtained the token I left behind, this is your destiny!"

"Besides the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, I have left many other Supreme Treasure here. You may take them as you wish, as well as the secret technique diagrams that I have comprehended. These diagrams embody my life's work, and I hope that future generations can use them as a springboard to explore higher realms."

Lin Yan stared silently at the words left on the wall, as if he could see a powerful figure with eight arms, like a demon god, appearing before him.

Beside the wall are diagrams of secret techniques left by the True Lord Zhendan. The engraved patterns are profound and unfathomable, radiating boundless pressure. There are dozens of such diagrams.

Lin Yan was Secret Pattern Diagram Flow and couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

Among these secret techniques diagrams... the weakest is the Universe Master's Strongest Secret Technique, while the strongest, the "Gate of Heavenly Tribulation," is a huge Secret Pattern Diagram woven from countless tiny secret patterns.

Even though Lin Yan's mastery of the Secret Pattern Diagram was close to the Universe Master's Limit, after seeing this Secret Pattern Diagram, he could only understand some of the minor details, as if it were a book written in the heavens.

Lin Yan watched it for half a month, and gradually gained a deeper understanding.

"The path of the True Lord Zhendan mainly involves cultivating and comprehending the Law of Thunder, Time Law, Space Law Thunder-Time Fusion Law, and the Thunder-Void Fusion Law."

"Compared to Jie Fanzi's lofty ideals and direct approach to the origin, it is more inclined to the cultivation methods of the powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea."

"However, Jie Fanzi started from the 'Water Law' and the 'Law of Fire,' which is biased. The true way of the king is to start from the Ten Great Basic Laws, take these Ten Great Basic Laws as the foundation, and advance simultaneously. The hard work left behind by the True Lord Zhendan... will be of great reference value for my future cultivation and understanding of 'lightning'."

Lin Yan sighed inwardly, "But I am still Universe Venerable for the time being, and I have not yet comprehended the 'Time Law'. I will wait until I become the Lord of the Universe before considering it. For now, I will focus my energy on the 'Water Fire Origin'."

Beside this wall stands a miniature tower.

This is also a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure. After recognizing its owner and sorting through the information, it was discovered that the treasure of the True Lord Zhendan is even more precious than that of Jie Fanzi, with more treasures at each level.

Although it does not possess the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, it does have a Set Supreme Treasure "Eight Hun Needles" with extremely strong power!

Each of these eight long shuttles is comparable to Peak Top-Grade Supreme Treasure, and the complete set of Supreme Treasure they form is second only to the Ultimate Supreme Treasure. Their value is comparable to the [Ancient Phoenix Robe], and they are extremely rare and hard to come by.

This is not to say that the True Lord Zhendan is stronger than the Jie Fanzi.

It can only be said that Jie Fanzi was obsessed with the "Water Fire Origin" and had little ambition, while True Lord Zhendan's style of doing things was much more decisive and efficient, as he could not stand the pretentious behavior of the Bei Zhen Star Master of the East Emperor Holy Land.

"With my current personal wealth, I'm afraid that apart from a very few forces like the Holy Land Universe and the Divine Eye Clan, none can compare to me. And that's without even considering the hidden value of the Yuan Embryo." Lin Yan was delighted.

"And the most important point is... The True Lord Zhendan said that the ancient relics left here have extremely profound and unfathomable heritage, which I have not yet truly witnessed." Lin Yan continued walking forward.

Walk through the long corridor.

He arrived at a spacious courtyard, where there was nothing else but a huge stone tablet. The tablet was about three thousand meters high and about one thousand meters wide, with ancient and mysterious engravings on its back. The entire tablet exuded an incomparably majestic aura.

"This is..." Lin Yan glanced at it and saw three huge, three-dimensional, Secret Pattern Diagram on the stone tablet.

These three three- Secret Pattern Diagram range from light to dark.

The first one was far more profound than the "Gate of Heavenly Tribulation". Even if the second one was just a corner, about one ten-thousandth of the entire Secret Pattern Diagram, it was far more complex than the Secret Pattern Diagram of the "Gate of Heavenly Tribulation", making it impossible for Lin Yan to comprehend it.

As for the third one... countless tiny, nano-sized Secret Pattern Diagram were seen building upon each other, even penetrating the interior of the stone wall. These countless Secret Pattern Diagram perfectly matched each other to form this Secret Pattern Diagram.

These Secret Pattern Diagram are exquisitely crafted and contain endless meaning, captivating Lin Yan completely.

"Originating from lightning..."

"Finally, Chaos..."

Lin Yan was completely shocked.

Looking at the stone tablet, he felt an infinite mystery: the mysteries of metal lightning, wood lightning, water lightning, fire lightning, earth lightning... and even metal-water lightning, metal lightning space, metal lightning time, and so on. Countless mysteries seemed to be completely integrated, or at least partially integrated.

For a long time--

"This feeling is like an illusion..." Lin Yan came back to his senses and shook his head. "I can sense that the Secret Pattern Diagram of this stone tablet has reached the pinnacle of skill, but I can't comprehend even a fraction of it. Or rather, this Secret Pattern Diagram is too heaven-defying and is simply beyond my comprehension."

"Um?"

Lin Yan was slightly taken aback.

He had been completely absorbed in the Secret Pattern Diagram, and now he was surprised to find that more than a hundred years had passed in the outside world, but in his consciousness it seemed like only a moment.

"What's so special about this?" Lin Yan shook his head helplessly. The remnants left by the Origin Continent expert were indeed amazing. If he were to look at them again next time, it would be better not to be so focused.

He walked to the front of the stone tablet.

At first glance, there are complex characters on the front. The characters are ancient and mysterious, and they are the same characters that were used when a large number of Supreme Treasure recognized their owners. Although I don't recognize them, I can clearly understand their meaning.

"Chaos Thunder, I finally see the direction my teacher told me about 'Chaos Thunder'. If I have time, perhaps in the future I will also be qualified to have the word 'Saint' after my name and be revered by countless powerful people."

"But it was too late... The general failed, and in this calamity of death, no one can survive."

"I will never be able to reach a higher realm. The three realms of True God, which represent my three most proud skills, have come to an end. My highest peak... has stopped here."

In these simple words left behind, there is an overwhelming sense of sorrow. It is as if an ancient and powerful being stands in the same place before Endless Samsara, not fearing death, but longing for and reluctant to leave the road ahead.

That will to seek the Dao was incredibly strong, piercing through endless time and space, and even directly affecting Lin Yan's state of mind through these few words.

"Chaos Thunder... Peak..."

Lin Yan closed his eyes, and two streams of tears involuntarily flowed down his cheeks. It was a heartfelt emotion that he found hard to let go of for a moment.

If what the powerful figure who left these words said is true, he is definitely a powerful figure among the Eternal True God, and may even have the opportunity to glimpse the realm of the Chaos Master in the future. However, the moment he stepped into the Cosmic Sea, it meant that his future had been severed.

"The three realms of True God... These three Secret Pattern Diagram should refer to the highest peaks he reached in True God, Void True God, and Eternal True God respectively," Lin Yan murmured.

He looked at the first Secret Pattern Diagram again and suddenly felt that something had changed.

He had been immersed in the third Secret Pattern Diagram for over a hundred years, feeling that he had gained nothing. But now, looking at the first diagram again, he vaguely felt that some parts of it were easier to understand.

"No wonder the True Lord Zhendan was able to become an invincible powerhouse in the Cosmic Sea by taking advantage of this opportunity." Lin Yan was immediately pleasantly surprised. "Although this powerhouse did not intend to leave behind any legacy, he still left some guidance in this Secret Pattern Diagram. Although these few guidances are not even one ten-millionth of the effect of the Chaos Stele, they have left behind a sliver of possibility."

"Haha... that's good luck."

When he looked at the secret diagrams left by the True Lord Zhendan again, he felt as if many mysteries had been dispelled. Those hundreds of years seemed to have broadened his horizons and made his foundation more solid.

Following closely behind...

Lin Yan wanted to try to take the stone tablet away, but it seemed to be completely integrated with the Green Token Space and could not be moved at all. So he simply left behind a Green Line Devouring Worm clone and left the Green Token Space to start his return journey.

In the vast Cosmic Sea, deep within the Inner Domain of the distant Qingfeng Realm.

Rumble...

Flames soared into the sky, each strike of which was enough to bring down the Lord of the Universe. Suddenly, a dazzling axe appeared out of thin air.

"Break!" A powerful and furious roar rang out.

Snap—

The solidified space around it shattered in an instant, completely forcing back all laws and becoming unrestricted by the operation Law. The Giant Axe, which was more than 90,000 kilometers long, had an extremely large axe face and ancient secret patterns carved on its back. The secret patterns were mysterious and emitted a soaring light at this moment!

Boom!

The surrounding spacetime was torn apart, and the endless flames all dissipated, revealing the figure of a Savage Giant with disheveled hair.

"Hahaha..." The Savage Giant looked at the Divine Axe in his hand, which exuded a sharp aura, and was extremely excited. "The Ultimate Supreme Treasure Giant Axe! It's been too long, really too long. I've always lacked a suitable Ultimate Supreme Treasure, I've always lacked one!"

"Ever since the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed, I have been afraid of bringing disaster to the human race, so I have kept a low profile and endured it, simply because I did not have the Ultimate Supreme Treasure in my possession. But... things are different now."

"Hahaha!" The Savage Giant's eyes shone with a tangible light, bursting with madness and absolute confidence. "Primordial Ancestor, you have done me a great favor. I will definitely lead the human race back to its peak!"

Along with his laughter, his Divine Power Clone, which he left in the Primordial Universe, also connected to the Virtual Universe and sent the message to the Chaos City Lord.

The Ultimate Supreme Treasure is the clan's most prized possession. For a top-tier clan, the absence of Ultimate Supreme Treasure has always been a source of unease and anxiety for many of its Super Existence beings.

But--

From this moment on, this gloom should dissipate!

Soon.

The excited Chaos City Lord quickly contacted the other universe lords of humanity, and the highest levels of the human race all learned of the situation.

Virtual Universe, outside the Great Axe Divine Hall.

The 20 human cosmic lords and the Great Axe Founder gathered here to celebrate with excitement.

"The Ultimate Supreme Treasure? Giant Axe, you really obtained the Ultimate Supreme Treasure?" Lord Peng Gong was extremely excited and looked at the Savage Giant in the main seat, asking.

"Hahaha, I also had a stroke of great luck. By chance, I obtained an Ultimate Supreme Treasure 'Giant Axe', which has already successfully recognized me as its master." The Great Axe Founder was the happiest. "My specialty is axe techniques, and I have entered the ranks of the Universe's Strongest with the axe. This time, the Ultimate Supreme Treasure I obtained was a Giant Axe. With the Divine Axe in hand, my strength has also made great progress."

"That's wonderful." The Lord Qing Dong showed his delight.

"The three races of Demon Race, Zerg, and Mechanical race have always wanted to suppress us, especially the Demon Race with two demon ancestors. They even dared to form Three-Race Alliance to besiege our human Origin Master and invited the Lone Walker, the Void True Demon God, to assassinate the Galaxy City Lord on Purple Thorn Island."

The Lord Huang Jian laughed loudly, "Now, our human race has an invincible Origin Master in the Primordial Universe, and in the Cosmic Sea... the Giant Axe has also obtained the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, making our position unshakeable. Let's see who dares to be arrogant in front of us humans!"

The long table was laden with delicacies and fine wines, and many powerful figures were drinking heavily and talking loudly.

"This matter will remain a secret for now," the Great Axe Founder said. "I have just obtained this Ultimate Supreme Treasure, and no one knows about it yet. We will use it at the right time to achieve its miraculous Ultimate Supreme Treasure."

"Yes."

"Good."

All the lords of the universe nodded in agreement.

"Haha, it seems the Origin Master was right after all." The Lord of Dragon Walk laughed as he drank. "The Giant Axe really did obtain an Ultimate Supreme Treasure by virtue of the fragmented map of the Inner Domain of Tilted Peak Realm. The bit of luck that he lacked in the past has finally arrived this time."

"The Origin and the Galaxy have both presented tremendous opportunities, allowing our race to cultivate without any cost. Treasures have emerged one after another, and our strength has improved immeasurably." The Lord Qing Dong's voice was clear and resonant. "What we have gained is not merely a sliver of luck from the Giant Axe, but the very destiny that will allow our human race to truly rise!"

"Qing Dong is right."

"Ha ha..."

In a short time.

The atmosphere in front of the temple was incredibly lively. Even the Great Axe Founder couldn't help but smile and glance at Lin Yan a few more times.

Even the Ultimate Supreme Treasure are not necessarily suitable for everyone. The Great Axe Founder never expected that the Ultimate Supreme Treasure he would obtain would be the Giant Axe. Although he, who uses an axe, could improve his strength with other Ultimate Supreme Treasure, they were ultimately not as good as this "axe-type" Ultimate Supreme Treasure.

The probability of that is too low.

There's no way to deny the power of fate... Someone with his strength but no Ultimate Supreme Treasure is unique in the Cosmic Sea. Lin Yan, on the other hand, is a typical "lucky kid" in his eyes. He had just said a few nice words to him last time, and now his luck has exploded, and he has obtained the Divine Axe.

What does it mean for Word is Law?

That's what you call "Word is Law"!

Unfortunately, Lin Yan had no idea what the Giant Axe was thinking. If he did, he would have to protest his innocence, as this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Chaos, now that I have this Divine Axe, the Mysterious Item Divine Wood I obtained before is of no use to me. I will temporarily entrust it to you to use." The Great Axe Founder looked at the Chaos City Lord.

"Alright." The Chaos City Lord smiled and nodded, not standing on ceremony.

"I don't think Senior Brother Chaos needs that Black Divine Wood," Lin Yan said with a smile, raising his wine cup.

"Hmm?" The Chaos City Lord looked at Lin Yan with a puzzled expression.

The other powerful figures also looked over.

Why is Chaos unnecessary? They didn't understand.

"I obtained a special treasure in the Cosmic Sea called the 'Eight Hun Needles,' which is an extremely powerful Set Supreme Treasure. It's of no use to me, so I wanted to give it to Senior Brother Chaos," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"A special treasure?"

Many beings in the human race were astonished.

"Give it to me?" The Chaos City Lord was also surprised.

This is a special treasure, second only to the Ultimate Supreme Treasure. More than a thousand years ago, the human race did not have any treasures of this value. How could they just give it away like that?

Furthermore...

How many years has it been, and yet we've already obtained another special treasure!

"I have obtained the treasures in that Green Token Space and reaped a great harvest." Lin Yan looked around at the many universe lords and smiled. "Although we need to consider the future, it is more than enough to change everyone's equipment."

"I will return the treasure to my tribe soon."

A powerful person can only have a limited Supreme Treasure.

Lin Yan now possesses over 70 treasures at the peak of the Domain-type. What does that mean? He's incredibly wealthy. Rather than keeping them to himself in his treasure vault, he'd rather share them with others.

As a wealthy man, it's time to show them what I'm made of.

"Everyone?"

"Change your gear?"

The Great Axe Founder was stunned, the Chaos City Lord was stunned, and all the powerful figures present were dumbfounded. How many treasures must he have obtained to say such a thing?

Surely there are at least six or seven of these top- Domain-type treasures?
