These two Monster Race Venerable only expressed their envy, jealousy, and hatred through gritted teeth; they truly dared not do anything under the cover of the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake." Even knowing that the 13th ranked treasure must contain high-level or even higher-quality Supreme Treasure, their own lives were more important in comparison.

"It's a treasure! The thirteenth-ranked treasure is about to be opened!"

"The mountain shook. I wonder which of these two humans is the lucky one?"

"The treasure must be about to be opened." At the summit, Lu Yan'an and King Tianyu exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of excitement in their eyes. This was the first time either of them had come here. Although King Tianyu had spent a long time in the treasure-hunting area, he had never dared to go to the 108 most famous peaks. If it weren't for Lu Yan'an's company, he probably wouldn't have had the confidence to come here.

"It was definitely because of my arrival that the conditions for opening the treasure were suddenly triggered." This was the thought in both of their minds. After all, it was the first time either of them had set foot on this mountain, so they both felt that it must have been their fault that the treasure had been discovered.

Until the facts are clear, anything is possible. After all, this is one of the 108 treasures!

"Splash splash splash..."

Above the Treasure Land, directly above this mountain peak, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake suddenly saw thousands of Aurora begin to rotate like a vortex.

Rest! Rest! Rest! Rest! Rest! Rest!

Suddenly, thousands of Aurora fell from the sky, each tens of thousands of kilometers long and in five colors, like countless colorful meteors falling directly downwards. In just a moment, these thousands of Aurora completely enveloped the mountain peak, like a beaded curtain surrounding it.

Absolutely gorgeous!

This magnificent sight stirred the excitement and envy of countless inheritors nearby! The pressure contained within those thousands of Aurora was incredibly immense. One must know that just a few Aurora could slaughter Universe Venerable, so what kind of power must these thousands of "Aurora" possess? After all, the supreme treasure protecting the Supreme Treasure of the universe's number one power, the Supreme True Treasure the universe, was no joke.

The entire mountain peak was enveloped by thousands of Aurora, and the two people on the summit were within the envelope. But then, waves of force swept over them, "Teleportation" one of them away.

"It seems the recipient of this treasure has been decided, but I wonder which of the two will be it?" The many Alien Race inheritors watching all looked enviously at the mountaintop shrouded in Aurora...

"It's actually a powerful human?"

"That should be correct. I only saw two powerful human beings land on the 13th highest peak."

"It's quite obvious now. Nobody usually goes up to this 13th highest peak to wander around. The moment those two went up, something strange happened. Who else could it be but a human?" The excited Alien Race inheritors discussed and watched. On the mountaintop illuminated by the Aurora, a figure had already been quietly "kicked" away by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Which of the two of them actually triggered the treasure?

"The Aurora was so dazzling, I couldn't even see it!"

"It's that guy standing in front, the one whose King Ziyun of the 'Kuitu Race' even went up to curse before! What's his name again? I think it's 'Illusion'?" Although the group of inheritors outside were unwilling, they quickly checked and soon confirmed... it was the human "Illusion" who hadn't come out.

"Hmph, 'Illusion'? That name looks like it was chosen on the spot. Who knows, it might be an alias of some human genius Feng Wang?"

The group of people outside all looked on with envy at the figure still shrouded in the Aurora, even the King Tianyu who had been teleported out was no exception! He really didn't expect that his human companion in front of him could actually open the treasure, and it was even a top 20 treasure.

But what can we do?

"At least this Supreme Treasure has fallen into the hands of our human race, so it's not a loss!" King Tianyu could only console himself with this thought. Tears are no loss, a characteristic of the human race!

Lu Yan'an couldn't see what was happening outside, but he had no interest in paying attention to these messy things.

"It really was me." Lu Yan'an looked around and realized that the King Tianyu's figure had quietly disappeared at some point. This made him even more certain that he was the one who opened the treasure.

The scene triggered by the "treasure" in the Treasure Land is clearly described in the original work. And the current scene does indeed match the description in the original work very well.

Some of the most powerful beings in the Ancestral God Religion hid the treasure in the "Treasure Land" and then determined the detailed conditions for activating the treasure. These detailed conditions are controlled by the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake"! The Five-Colored Aurora Lake constantly monitors the area it covers, recording every move of the inheritors.

The Five-Colored Aurora Lake gathers all the information it has collected, and then uses the things that the inheritors of the Glory World have shown as supplementary information. Once the conditions for opening a certain treasure are met, when that person who meets the conditions arrives at the treasure's location... the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will automatically control the treasure to appear in the world!

To maintain secrecy, the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake" will be completely sealed off. Apart from the person who placed the treasure, the person who opened the treasure, and the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake," no one knows what the treasure is.

The mountain trembled, and at the same time, a crystalline Moonlight Stone slowly rose from its summit. Moonlight Stone, one of the specialties of the Ancestral God Secret Region, is said to be used by master craftsmen as a catalyst to solidify the shape of Supreme Treasure. Therefore, its price in the universe has always been high. Each cubic meter of Moonlight Stone can fetch an astronomical price of tens of millions of Hunyuan Unit.

"Hmm?" Lu Yan'an stared at it intently.

This Moonlight Stone, with a volume of over a thousand cubic meters, slowly rose and then flew up, completely hovering above the mountain peak. This Moonlight Stone alone could bring Lu Yan'an wealth of over ten billion Hunyuan Unit!

"What kind of treasure is this?" At this moment, he had no time to pay attention to the Moonlight Stone. He just stared intently at the huge hole that was revealed after the Moonlight Stone flew up. The hole was dark and silent. After a moment, a black ring slowly flew up, then turned and flew directly towards Lu Yan'an, hovering in front of him.

Lu Yan'an took a deep breath. He knew the lottery draw would be the most thrilling moment. Although Lu Yan'an had no shortage of Supreme Treasure, the Supreme Treasure the better; who would complain about Supreme Treasure too many?

So he immediately reached out and took the ring. It was an unclaimed ring, and Lu Yan'an easily imprinted his Spiritual Imprint into it.

"What exactly is it?" Lu Yan'an's Spiritual Force penetrated in and began to investigate.

Within the World Ring, there are only two items.

A long sword! An ancient painting!

The long sword exuded a sharp edge, with a ferocious appearance and a deep blue color, combining to create a magnificent yet beautiful form. The ancient painting was also extraordinary; from the outside, it appeared as a white scroll without any color rendering, yet Lu Yan'an felt a strange sense of constraint whenever his consciousness approached it.

"What is this?" Lu Yan'an's Spiritual Force directly entered the two Supreme Treasure. As his Spiritual Imprint continued to merge, a large amount of information flooded into his mind, causing a look of surprise to appear on Lu Yan'an's face.

"Come." Lu Yan'an stretched out his hand. The azure longsword and the painting flew towards Lu Yan'an's hands at the same time. The next moment, he grasped the longsword in his right hand, while the ancient painting floated in his left hand.

"There are actually two treasures, and they're even top-tier Supreme Treasure!" Lu Yan'an's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the two Supreme Treasure in his hands, unable to hide his excitement. "One of them is even a high- Domain-type Supreme Treasure! I wouldn't trade it Supreme Treasure for a top-tier weapon!"

Lu Yan'an already knew about the two Supreme Treasures.

This longsword, originally named "Arc Light," is a high-grade weapon Supreme Treasure with formidable armor-piercing capabilities. More importantly, it perfectly matches Lu Yan'an's own attributes of time and light fusion, making it arguably the pinnacle of high-grade weapon Supreme Treasure.

That ancient painting, originally named "Heavenly Realm," is Domain-type Supreme Treasure! Once its power is unleashed, it possesses extremely strong oppressive and binding abilities. If the enemy is weak, it can directly annihilate the opponent with its power. Because it is Domain-type Supreme Treasure with composite attributes of light and time, it can be used by strong individuals who specialize in the Time Law. By using the composite domain to enhance the Law Domain, its power can be further increased.

"Haha, with my current wealth, even ordinary fourth-tier Universe Master probably can't match me. Add to that the boost from these two High-level Supreme Treasure, who below the Overlord can pose a threat to me?" Lu Yan'an was overjoyed. With his current wealth, once he stepped into the Immortal realm...

He couldn't help but grin.

Of course, the enhancement of strength by treasures also depends on the user's foundation. If one is weak, even with these Supreme Treasure, one would likely just be a "money-giving child." What good are countless Supreme Treasure if they can be easily sealed away by a powerful being?

"Once I step into immortality, even the Overlord will have to rub their whiskers." Lu Yan'an nodded to himself. "Besides, my ambition isn't just to become a simple immortal. If possible..."

Shaking his head, Lu Yan'an buried his ambition deep within his heart once more. He wanted to do something unprecedented in history! And to accomplish this, the first thing he needed was a profound understanding of the laws of nature.

"Now I have no shortage of protective Supreme Treasure, all I lack is the comprehension of the laws." Lu Yan'an looked at the two newly acquired Supreme Treasure in his hands and thought to himself, "Below the Overlord, I am invincible; above the Overlord, one for one!"
