The Ancestral God Secret Region is vast and boundless.

In one of the voids, a beautiful fountain appeared out of thin air, its water sprinkling endlessly. A figure emerged from the fountain—it was the Demon Beast Clone.

The Demon Beast Clone surveyed its surroundings. Aside from the fountain suspended in the void, there were no other guardians. It murmured, "Truly worthy of the Ancestral God Religion's confidence. They haven't even assigned a single guardian to monitor the Special Lifeform forms within this Ancestral God Secret Region! But that's to be expected. After all, there are quite a few Special Lifeform here comparable to Universe Master. If they were to monitor them, the Ancestral God Religion would have to expend a great deal of their combat power."

"Retract." His body instantly switched; his true form emerged, while the Demon Beast Clone was stored in his World Ring. Generally speaking, the true form was weaker in combat than the Demon Beast Clone, and the Demon Beast Clone's advantage lay solely in its combat strength. Since the Time Demon Beast was merely Energy Lifeform, although it could convert Spiritual Force through the unique properties of its Life Crystal Core, there was still a gap. Its mastery of this Spiritual Force conversion was not as refined as Lu Yan'an's true form.

"Detector." Lu Yan'an the miniature and large detectors.

The probe was originally designed for the purpose of exploring the Cosmic Secret Realm, not for Outer Region Battlefield.

Large detectors are used for rapid travel in the Cosmic Secret Realm. By detecting distant celestial bodies through large detectors, one can avoid them as soon as possible. Regardless of whether there is danger, proceeding directly into the void is the safest approach. Miniature detectors, on the other hand, are used for cautious and adventurous exploration when entering dangerous areas.

Whoosh!

Lu Yan'an transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew away. Occasionally, when he found that the path ahead was safe, he would use Teleportation to accelerate his progress.

Carefully avoiding one danger after another, the natural forms in the Ancestral God Secret Region are quite bizarre. Some of the giant celestial bodies are very strange. In the normal universe, most celestial bodies are spherical, such as planets, stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and even black holes.

Within the Ancestral God Secret Region, irregular celestial bodies may appear, or a vast landmass may appear, or a huge lake may appear out of thin air. There may also be some islands on the lake, and occasionally some undulating mountain ranges may float in the void, with waterfalls on the mountains.

What appears beautiful and magical is actually fraught with hidden dangers.

For example, there was a waterfall that Lu Yan'an saw while passing by. Even Universe Venerable would be instantly frozen solid if drenched in it, their Life Imprint completely collapsing, resulting in immediate death. And the water of this waterfall... was also an extremely precious material called "Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water." If one could obtain some of this Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water in a vessel made of extremely high-grade metal, one would be rich. The Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water could be skillfully used in Strongest Battle, possessing limitless power.

Pity--

Beneath the cascading waterfall formed by the Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water lies a terrifying and Special Lifeform called the "Cold Whale" in a vast, icy pool below. The Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water displays different colors from different angles, totaling nine hues. Not long before the birth of the universe, a powerful explorer discovered this Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water -colored water and, finding it beautiful and wondrous, attempted to take some. However, before even touching it, he was attacked by the terrifying being within the pool, the "Cold Whale," and died instantly.

In the information collected by King Limeng and King Tianxuan, there is only a simple description of the Cold Whale: only the Universe Master can contend with it.

Knowing the situation, Lu Yan'an naturally wouldn't foolishly go to his death. Although he was fully prepared to have ample time to calmly self-destruct even when facing a being at the level of Universe Master, the problem was that he wasn't stupid enough to try and make his Clone and main body cannon fodder.

So, he cleverly bypassed the "Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water," a cleverly disguised "poisonous apple," and Teleportation towards his first destination, the "Jiuyou Space-Time." He wanted to see with his own eyes just what level the Strongest World Tree had reached!

At this moment, in another direction heading towards the Jiuyou Space-Time, a figure was also activating a detector and Teleportation rapidly towards the Jiuyou Space-Time.

Not long after, a figure appeared out of thin air on the Huangshi Island. A Venerable One, nearly three hundred meters tall and dressed in snow-white battle armor, was hovering in the void. Thousands of horizontal eyes were densely packed on his head. These eyes were currently closed, faintly emitting fluctuations in spacetime, causing the surrounding spacetime to become somewhat disordered.

Whoosh!

"It's the Jiuyou Space-Time, we're almost there! This time, I must obtain a branch of the World Tree. If I'm not mistaken, this World Tree will definitely help me achieve my goal. From then on, my Mantuo's God Kingdom will no longer be a weakness!"

The newcomer was none other than the Mantu Divine General who discovered the Life Tree in the original story. He was currently in the exploratory stage of understanding the effects of the World Tree and was planning to ask the Strongest World Tree World Tree for a branch of it.

At this moment, it looked expectantly at the Jiuyou Space-Time ahead, seemingly having already set its sights on the Strongest World Tree.

"This is now Huangshi Island."

"Just as described in the information, it is indeed desolate. I have arrived at the Huangshi Island."

"Should we activate the detectors first to survey the surrounding dangers?" Just as he was thinking this, the thousand horizontal eyes around the Mantu Divine General trembled simultaneously, and then the space-time around him began to ripple. The next moment, thousands of illusory gazes were generated directly from those rippled space-time fluctuations, seemingly reflecting the endless void of heaven and earth around him.

This is one of the two great Innate Secret Technique of the Mantu Divine General, the "Kaleidoscope." Once unleashed, it can sweep across a radius of one billion kilometers in a straight line, as if it has completely controlled all information, and no danger can hide from it. Moreover, unless one is an invincible powerhouse who has mastered space-time, no one can even detect that it has already conducted a probe.

"Um?"

After activating his Innate Secret Technique, the Mantu Divine General showed a brief moment of slight surprise, followed by a meaningful smile.

"Interesting! I didn't expect this King Huanshi to dare come to the Jiuyou Space-Time. The Three Great Peak Races, the Monster Race, the Machine Race, and the Zerg, jointly put a bounty on this King Huanshi. In addition, he carries multiple supreme Supreme Treasure. This kind of mobile treasure trove is truly tempting! Moreover, he is only a World Lord. Isn't this a golden opportunity?" Mantu Divine General said with some excitement.

"Hehehe, if Heaven gives something and you don't take it, you'll suffer the consequences. Besides, my Northern Territory Alliance isn't afraid of that Human Alliance." Mantu Divine General smiled. "Am I not the new owner of this mobile Supreme Treasure? And if I add these Supreme Treasure from the King Huanshi, I'll have even more confidence when I ask the Strongest World Tree for a branch!"

The Northern Territory Alliance is one of the alliances with the largest number of races in the universe, and it is also one of the top powers, fully comparable to the major alliances of the top races such as humans, Monster Race, and Zerg.

"Walk."

The Mantu Divine General grinned and flew slowly into the distance, not daring to fly too fast for fear of causing a commotion.

"If I can obtain that mobile Supreme Treasure, then this trip to the Jiuyou Space-Time will have been worthwhile. Even if the Strongest World Tree doesn't intend to negotiate and attacks me directly, I can still escape unscathed." The golden eyes of the Mantu Divine General were filled with greed. As Special Lifeform, it was inherently greedy and fierce. It felt no shame at all, but rather considered it a matter of course.

"Moreover, the bounty notices from those Three Races specifically state that Soul Annihilation is required! Hahaha, how many Special Lifeform at the Universe Venerable level can meet this condition? I'm determined to take this treasure trove!" As Special Lifeform called "Soul Demon," the Mantu Divine General possesses two Innate Secret Techniques. The first secret technique is the detection-type secret technique Kaleidoscope that he just used, and the second secret technique is the Soul Attack "Soul Annihilation"!

Two Innate Secret Technique, one for detection, the other for Soul Attack. This reveals the Primal Universe's preference for Special Lifeform!
