The Rewards and the Encounter
Just as Yang Wu was fighting Venerable Heiyao, a figure appeared out of thin air near this vast continent. It was none other than Venerable Songshi, who had already separated from Venerable Tianhua.
Upon seeing this vast and boundless continent, Venerable Songshi did not immediately choose to inform Venerable Tianhua.
"A supercontinent where no life exists!"
Venerable Songshi gazed at the continent before him, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
"Such a vast continent might contain some precious treasures. I should explore it first and then inform Venerable Tianhua!" Venerable Songshi thought to himself.
After all, his agreement with Venerable Tianhua did not include any restrictions on his own actions.
Moreover, if Venerable Tianhua had been notified from the beginning, the resources he would have received would have been far fewer.
With this in mind, Venerable Songshi immediately followed the Law of Space fluctuations in the void, preparing to Teleportation directly to the central region of the continent to begin his exploration.
For such a vast continent, the core region is always one of the most important areas, and it is naturally where Venerable Songshi most wants to go.
"Hmm?" Just as Venerable Songshi was about to Teleportation, he was slightly taken aback, because he had discovered that a part of the central area of this vast continent had been completely Space Lockdown.
"Space Lockdown... Could there really be some treasure hidden there?" Venerable Songshi wondered to himself.
Generally speaking, areas where Space Lockdown is implemented are either Strongest Battle or important locations like the Sacrificial Tower of the Yanji Continent or the core areas of some super powers.
Just as Venerable Songshi was about to Teleportation to the outer edge of the Space Lockdown zone, he suddenly sensed the terrifying battle fluctuations within the Space Lockdown zone.
"This is..." Venerable Songshi frowned slightly. "Could it be that some powerful figures are vying for a supreme Supreme Treasure?"
After this thought flashed through his mind, Venerable Songshi could no longer afford to explore this vast continent alone.
After all, the intense battle fluctuations alone indicated that the enemy was extremely powerful, Venerable Songshi Chow dared not go there rashly.
"The fact that powerful figures would fight here means there must be treasures here!" Venerable Songshi thought to himself. "Moreover, with Venerable Tianhua's strength, he might be able to capture everyone else. Even if I get less spoils, it will probably be enough to exchange for a suitable Supreme Treasure!"
With this in mind, Venerable Songshi immediately contacted Venerable Tianhua.
"What powerful energy!"
On the other side, after Venerable Heiyao self-destructed, Yang Wu sighed, "He was just a Universe Overlord. If it weren't for Ting Ni Clone, my Earthling Main Body would probably be seriously injured!"
Yang Wu knew very well that although Ting Ni Clone, wearing the Eight Treasure Exquisite Armor, had not suffered much damage, under such a powerful impact, the Ordinary Supreme Treasure armor worn by the Earthling Main Body would probably not be of much use. It would be good if it could reduce the impact force to one percent!
One in ten thousand is a thousand times different from one in a hundred percent!
What does a thousand times mean?
With a difference in strength of a thousand times, he could easily annihilate his opponent without suffering any damage himself.
Just like how some Peak King Level experts could kill those Marquis experts with ease.
Given the size of Earthling Main Body's Divine Body, even if it wasn't completely annihilated, it would be severely injured.
Of course, with the existence of Ting Ni Clone, such a thing would never happen.
"The treasure is in my hands!"
Standing amidst the aftershocks of the explosion, Yang Wu waved his hand, and several treasures flew rapidly toward him from afar. The most conspicuous among them was a Supreme Treasure spear that exuded astonishing pressure.
Immediately, Yang Wu imprinted his divine power mark into the Supreme Treasure spear, completely ignoring the other treasures.
"Slaughtering Spear? How laughable!"
Sensing the message emanating from the Supreme Treasure spear, Yang Wu couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, "However, I didn't expect this to actually be a Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon!"
Clearly, the "Slaughtering Spear" mentioned by the Venerable Heiyao was simply a name he changed himself out of jealousy towards the human race.
This Supreme Treasure spear was originally called the 'Nine-Turn Coiling Dragon Spear', and it was a Top-tier Supreme Treasure!
After sensing all the information about the Nine-Turn Coiling Dragon Spear, Yang Wu couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
It's important to understand that although weapons are the lowest value among Supreme Treasure of the same level, even ordinary Universe Master only use Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapons. Some weaker Universe Master even use High-grade Supreme Treasure weapons.
It was indeed extremely fortunate that Yang Wu was able to obtain a Top-tier Supreme Treasure spear so easily.
Looking at the Nine-Turn Coiling Dragon Spear in his hand, Yang Wu was filled with joy. "With this Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon, my strength has increased significantly. Even some weak second-tier Universe Master probably wouldn't be able to do anything to me!"
Meanwhile, the three Nine Sword Venerable on the other side were also filled with shock and sighs upon seeing the Venerable Heiyao's demise. A Universe Overlord had fallen just like that.
Call out!
Yang Wu immediately canceled the Space Lockdown and flew directly to the three Nine Sword Venerable, handing them over several treasures, including a Supreme Treasure Armor.
"Teacher, Kandeli, Venerable Azure Dragon!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "That Supreme Treasure weapon is very important to me, so I'll keep it for now. Although these Supreme Treasure differ greatly in value, they are still quite precious, so let's share them together!"
"No!"
"No!"
The three Nine Sword Venerable simultaneously refused.
Immediately, the three exchanged a glance, and then the Venerable Azure Dragon spoke up, "Venerable Shenwei, you killed the Venerable Heiyao all by yourself, so the spoils naturally belong to you alone!"
"Yes!" Kandeli chimed in, "If it weren't for Venerable Shenwei here today, the three of us would probably be in grave danger!"
Yang Wu looked at the Nine Sword Venerable also nodded slightly.
"Alright then!" Yang Wu waved his hand, directly storing several treasures into the World Ring he carried with him, and then said, "Since there is a Universe Overlord guarding this place, there will probably still be some treasures here!"
Upon hearing this, the Nine Sword Venerable and the others were slightly moved.
Yes, with a Universe Overlord guarding this place, there must be some incredibly precious treasures here.
Thinking of this, Yang Wu and the others immediately turned their gaze to the majestic temple not far away.
Even with the protection of Ting Ni Clone, and the mountains and forests within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers all reduced to nothingness, the majestic temple remained unscathed.
This temple looked extremely special, as it was able to withstand the divine power probes of Yang Wu and the others. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, even the most sophisticated detection instruments probably wouldn't have been able to detect its existence.
Soon, Yang Wu and his companions arrived at the main entrance of the temple.
Although the palace gates looked extremely ancient, they exuded boundless pressure. Above the gates were several incredibly complex characters, which turned out to be the script of the extinct Solitary Dragon Race.
Having already learned about the Solitary Dragon Race, Yang Wu immediately understood the meaning of those words: 'Dulong Clan Sanctuary'!
"The Dulong Clan Sanctuary?" Yang Wu couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"It's actually the Dulong Clan Sanctuary!" The Venerable Azure Dragon beside him also recognized the meaning of those characters, and then couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "Back then, when the Master of Dulong led the Solitary Dragon Race across the universe, the place where he lived was called the Dulong Clan Sanctuary!"
"Although the Master of Dulong was later killed by a super being of our Human Race, our Human Race never found the Solitary Dragon Race's most core holy temple. I never expected it to be here!"
"Teacher, let's go in!" Yang Wu said calmly, looking at the three of them, including the Nine Sword Venerable.
He was certainly skilled and daring, after all, even if the Master of Dulong were to be resurrected, it would be impossible for him to kill Yang Wu in his current state!
"Alright!" The three Nine Sword Venerable nodded in unison.
Without further hesitation, Yang Wu and his companions flew directly towards the palace gate.
The palace gates were already open, so Yang Wu and his companions flew directly into the main hall.
Inside the palace gate was an enormous hall, containing three palaces: the main hall in the center and two side halls on either side. Moreover, one could vaguely see a burly figure in the main hall.
"That's..." Yang Wu and the other three immediately turned their gaze toward the main hall.
In the main hall, a colossal figure sat cross-legged. He was tens of thousands of kilometers tall and exuded an astonishing aura, far surpassing that of Yang Wu and his companions.
"It was actually a fallen Universe Master!" Upon seeing that imposing figure devoid of any life force, Yang Wu couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.
He had seen many Universe Masters, but this was the first time Yang Wu had seen a fallen Universe Master.
Moreover, judging from the integrity of the opponent's Divine Body, it should have been directly annihilated by Soul Attack, which is why the Divine Body is so intact!
On the other side, the three Nine Sword Venerable were also shocked as they stared at the corpse of the Universe Master before them. The Venerable Azure Dragon directly transmitted his voice, saying, "This is the former leader of the Lone Solitary Dragon Race, the Master of Dulong. I never expected him to perish here!"
After the initial shock, Yang Wu and his group immediately began plundering the resources within the temple.
Unfortunately, the side halls on both sides of the main hall have long been empty.
"These two side halls likely contain the Inheritance Secret Technique of the Solitary Dragon Race, as well as some precious treasures!"
Looking at the two empty side halls, Kandeli calmly said, "It seems there are still survivors among the Solitary Dragon Race. However, since they have vanished from the universe, they are probably just barely clinging to life!"
"Kandeli is right!" The Nine Sword Venerable beside him glanced at Yang Wu and nodded in agreement, saying, "Although those Alien Race hate our Human Race, in this vast universe, strength ultimately reigns supreme!"
The Nine Sword Venerable seemed afraid that Yang Wu would think that the Human Race's actions of annihilating other races were wrong, after all, Yang Wu's cultivation time was too short, so he continued, "The larger our Human Territory is, the higher the chance that geniuses will emerge from our Human Race, and in the long run, we will gain a greater advantage!"
But how could Yang Wu possibly pity those Alien Race?
"Don't worry, teacher!" Yang Wu looked at the Nine Sword Venerable and said earnestly, "I am a member of the Human Race, so naturally I must prioritize the interests of my Human Race!"
He knew very well that the rise of any race was always accompanied by slaughter and bloodshed!
Even the Solitary Dragon Race, which is now virtually extinct, didn't they slaughter other Alien Race when they expanded their territory?
As the saying goes, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."
Wars between ethnic groups are nothing more than battles for survival and development; there is no right or wrong, only the law of the jungle.
Back then, which powerful figure did those eight Natural Beast God offend? Weren't they all surrounded and killed?
"Everyone, let's collect the resources in this temple as soon as possible!" the Venerable Azure Dragon reminded from the side.
"Yes!" Yang Wu and the others nodded in agreement, and then began to collect the remaining valuable treasures in the hall.
"The Divine Body of this Master of Dulong is extremely powerful; it might even be used to forge Supreme Treasure!" Yang Wu thought to himself as he stored the Master of Dulong's corpse into his World Ring. "It's just a pity that all the Supreme Treasure on the Master of Dulong's body are gone!"
What Yang Wu didn't know was that the Nine-Turn Coiling Dragon Spear was one of the Supreme Treasure used by the Master of Dulong, but the Master of Dulong had already distributed it before his demise.
Soon, Yang Wu and his group had collected all the resources in the temple, and even the temple itself, which was made of very precious materials, was taken away by Yang Wu.
On the other side, Venerable Tianhua of the Monster Race also rushed over after receiving Venerable Songshi's notification.
"Hahaha!" Venerable Tianhua face had a huge, blood-red eye, appeared out of thin air in front of Venerable Songshi and said with a laugh, "I didn't expect Venerable Songshi to be so lucky, discovering the one who got there first so quickly!"
"Venerable Tianhua!" Venerable Songshi hurriedly said, "The battle fluctuations in the core area have disappeared. We should hurry over there, or those people might leave soon!"
It should be noted that for Universe Venerable, the range of Space Lockdown is far less than the range of Teleportation.
In other words, if they don't arrive in front of the enemy and set up Space Lockdown before the enemy Teleportation away, it will be very difficult to catch up with the enemy!
"Don't worry!" Venerable Tianhua smiled and said, "Even after the battle is over, those damned Alien Race will probably be delayed for a while! But you're right, let's hurry over there!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After teleporting twice in Teleportation, Venerable Tianhua and Venerable Songshi arrived at an area less than ten million kilometers away from Yang Wu and the others.
"Huh?"
However, when Venerable Tianhua spotted Yang Wu and his companions, he couldn't help but be surprised. "I didn't expect them to be those damned humans!"
"Venerable Azure Dragon, Kandeli, and the Nine Sword Venerable, but who is the other one?"
Sensing the divine power fluctuations of Yang Wu and his companions, Venerable Tianhua revealed a cold smile, "They're unlucky to have met me this time!"
Just then, Venerable Songshi excitedly transmitted his voice to Venerable Tianhua, saying, "Venerable Tianhua, we've probably really hit the jackpot this time!"
"Hmm?" Venerable Tianhua was slightly puzzled.
The Venerable Songshi excitedly transmitted his voice, "Venerable Tianhua, you may not know this, but the black-haired human next to the Nine Sword Venerable is none other than the number one on the clan's kill list, the King Shenwei!"
Because Venerable Tianhua had been busy exploring the secret realm recently, he hadn't paid much attention to Yang Wu's news. However, Venerable Songshi had Clone, so he still had a very deep impression of Yang Wu.
That's why, even though he had never met Yang Wu, he quickly recognized Yang Wu's identity through other characteristics.
Of course, this is also because Yang Wu did not deliberately pretend; after all, with his current strength, he no longer needs to pretend.
"The King Shenwei of the Human Race? He actually appeared here?"
Venerable Tianhua couldn't help but reveal a look of wild joy. "What a stroke of luck! As long as I suppress or kill him, the reward from the clan will probably be extremely astonishing!"
As a disciple of the Dream Monster Ancestor, and possessing astonishing strength himself, Venerable Tianhua also vaguely received the news that the Monster Race had paid an extremely high price to eliminate the King Shenwei.
"By then, what will a mere Star Prison Demon Master be?"
"Moreover, I've long heard that the King Shenwei obtained the First Treasure within the Ancestral God Religion, so he must possess extremely precious treasures as well!"
"Mine, all mine!" Venerable Tianhua's eyes seemed to be shining.
"Near!"
"I must kill this King Shenwei and make a great contribution to my Monster Race!"
Immediately, Venerable Tianhua and Venerable Songshi flew swiftly towards the direction where Yang Wu and the other three were located.
