Peak Supreme Treasures
On the Golden Throne of the Sun Temple, Tang Ping stroked his new sword with his fingertips, his eyes filled with amazement.
The sword's blade was as smooth and lustrous as black jade, without a trace of impurity. Only the edge of the blade shimmered with a cold, dark silver light. Although its sharpness was concealed, it exuded a fierce aura that could cleave through the universe and tear apart Chaos.
He flicked his finger and gently touched the blade.
"Clang!"
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the Divine Temple. In an instant, a burst of cold light shot out, and the surrounding void was shattered by this unparalleled sharpness, creating a fine spatial rift. The Chaos energy escaping from the rift was instantly annihilated into nothingness the moment it touched the sword light.
"Perfect new, a rare find, definitely a top-quality sword!"
Tang Ping chuckled softly, his tone full of satisfaction. He then looked up at the endless starry sky beyond the Divine Temple's dome and respectfully said, "Thank you, Master Mountain Sitting Guest, for bestowing this treasure!"
Although I don't know if Master Mountain Sitting Guest, who is far away on the other side of the universe, can hear me, as his disciple, I will definitely express my gratitude.
What if you hear it someday!
With admiration, his gaze shifted downwards, landing on two other Supreme Treasure resting quietly on either side of the throne: an Origin Soul Supreme Treasure shimmering with soul light, and a set of Peak Supreme Treasure Armor Flowing Light.
The armor was also in pristine condition, clearly the work of Master Mountain Sitting Guest. It should be noted that it would take an ordinary master craftsman millions of years to forge a single Peak Treasure.
The fact that the teacher was able to forge two Peak Treasure in just ten thousand years is due to several factors. First, the Human Race had exhausted its resources to gather all the rare materials. Second, the teacher's treasure-forging skills were already unparalleled in the entire universe. As for the third point, it must be because the teacher did not hesitate to expend the Origin of the Universe to activate the secret technique of Time Acceleration in order to achieve such efficiency.
Thinking of this, Tang Ping felt a surge of warmth and was deeply moved, so he raised his hand.
Loyalty!
After expressing his gratitude, he reached out and picked up the Origin Soul Supreme Treasure.
Although this item was secondhand, it was personally refurbished by Master Mountain Sitting Guest. Not only was all traces of its former owner completely erased, but its core runes were also re-refined.
The moment he touched it, he felt a warm and gentle aura wash over him, instantly resonating with his soul's essence, creating a harmonious and seamless feeling.
At the moment of the blood oath, Tang Ping's consciousness surged deep into the core of the Supreme Treasure like a tidal wave.
In an instant, an indescribable feeling of comfort swept through his body. His soul seemed to be tightly wrapped by a warm barrier, and under the power of the secret runes contained within the Supreme Treasure, it was slowly honed, tempered, and strengthened, with each strand of soul becoming more and more condensed and pure.
"That's wonderful." Tang Ping sighed softly with his eyes closed. "With this Origin Soul Supreme Treasure protecting me, I can rest easy even when facing those powerful Alien Race races in the Primal Universe who are skilled in Soul Enslavement and soul annihilation."
After a long period of careful contemplation, until his soul and the Supreme Treasure were completely and seamlessly integrated, Tang Ping slowly opened his eyes.
Then, he took out the identity token given to him by Master Mountain Sitting Guest and found that the token had unlocked the "Master-Disciple Group Chat" permission at some point. In the group member list, there was a familiar name: Emperor Yan.
After a moment's hesitation, he immediately sent a message to his second senior brother, filled with sincere gratitude.
On the other side, in the Yan Emperor Secret Realm.
Deep within the mysterious realm, Emperor Yan sat cross-legged on his throne, surrounded by the raging power of the Origin of the Universe. His eyes were closed, clearly indicating that he was attempting to reach a higher realm.
He underwent arduous training solely to break through his limitations as soon as possible, become the Universe Supreme Being, avenge his past humiliations, and trample all those enemies who had bullied him underfoot.
Suddenly, the long-sealed token began to tremble in his arms.
Emperor Yan suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of wild joy in them!
This token was bestowed upon me by Master Mountain Sitting Guest! Could it be that Master has finally forgiven my past disrespect, not only returning the Supreme Treasure that was taken from me, but also arranging for me a heaven-defying opportunity for training?
He almost impatiently reached out and took out the token, his eyes fixed on the words that appeared on it.
Hmm, why is it information from the fourth junior brother?
The moment the message was read, the ecstasy on Emperor Yan's face vanished, replaced by a deathly pale color.
"Many thanks to my second senior brother for generously gifting me this Origin Soul Supreme Treasure! Your treasure is truly well-preserved; it feels soft and comfortable to the touch, and the patterns are perfectly formed—"
It was so round and abundant that my consciousness immediately began to refine it as soon as it entered. Now my soul is so smooth and clear, so comfortable, it's like I'm in a state of complete freedom!
One word: Smooth!
Deathly silence, an eerie, deathly silence.
After a full three breaths of silence, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from Emperor Yan's chest! He abruptly raised his hand, about to send a message in response.
However, the next moment the token displayed a cold, impersonal message.
[You do not have permission to reply to this message]
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the entire Yan Emperor Palace exploded!
Countless lava boulders were blasted into dust, and the disheveled Emperor Yan soared into the sky from the ruins, his eyes bloodshot and his appearance like a madman. He rushed out of the secret realm and rampaged wildly in the void, the space collapsing inch by inch wherever his fists struck.
Just then, a group of Zerg Venerable happened to pass by. Before they could even let out a scream, they were smashed into a bloody mist by the enraged Emperor Yan's punch.
"Iiikekekeiii, the deafening roar echoed in the star field for a long time.
Sun Temple.
Tang Ping looked at the "read" mark on the token and the silent chat box that followed, and couldn't help but touch his nose, revealing a relieved smile.
"I didn't expect my second senior brother to be so shy; he was even embarrassed to reply to the message of thanks. Everyone in the clan says he's selfish, self-centered, domineering, and tyrannical, but in my opinion, it's clearly just hearsay and rumors spreading like wildfire!"
He shook his head, thinking that he would definitely thank him again in person if they had the chance to meet again in the future.
Tang Ping put away the token and pointed in the air, instantly creating a virtual screen. On the screen was Powerhouse Information Registration Form sent by the high-ranking Human Race in the Virtual Universe.
After all, the Human Race suddenly gained a powerful individual who possessed three Peak Treasure, and such a momentous event naturally had to be announced to the entire universe.
He can't possibly travel the universe in the future and announce his name only to be met with blank stares, forcing him to shout at the top of his lungs, "I am Tang Ping, a disciple of the Mountain Sitting Guest!"
Moreover, the addition of a pillar-level powerhouse to the Human Race involves the distribution of racial interests, the division of star domain authority, and even requires a grand celebration to announce it to the world.
All these things must be registered and filed in advance. If there is any oversight that causes you displeasure, that would be a serious offense.
Tang Ping swiped the screen with his fingertips, his gaze landing on the "Title" column. After a moment's thought, he typed: Lord of Peace and Joy!
Next was the "area of expertise," and without thinking, he casually filled in: playing with women.
[Ding~ The information you entered violated the rule of "promoting the fine qualities of Human Race and showcasing the noble demeanor of the strong." Your information has been cleared!]
A cold system notification sounded, and Tang Ping's lips twitched; he was somewhat speechless.
Undeterred, he continued to fill in "admiring girls," "having a fleeting romance," "cherishing wives," "carrying on the family line," and "a close friendship like that of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya"—all of which were ruthlessly rejected by the system without exception.
"Damn! This system is too intelligent, it doesn't even offer any fun?"
Tang Ping pursed his lips, and with no other choice, he could only casually fill in a simple and crude answer: Super Divine Body!
[Beep~ The information meets the rules and has been approved!]
Well, this is still the most practical.
His gaze moved down to the last column: Equipment Name (optional).
"Optional? We absolutely have to choose!" Tang Ping's eyes lit up.
Back in the day, when the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasure River appeared, countless passersby in the universe vied to explain it. If one's own Supreme Treasure doesn't even have a resounding name, wouldn't one be ridiculed for "that guy's sword doesn't even have a name" when traveling the universe?
We have to save face!
Armor and the Origin Soul are protective items, so it's fine to keep a low profile. But this Divine Sword must have a name that will shake the world!
Tang Ping lightly tapped the sword's blade with his fingertips, the names of famous ancient Huaxia swords flashing through his mind: Tai'e, Xuanyuan, Zhanlu, Chixiao, Longyuan...
Yuchang, Chengying ----
Names flashed through his mind, and finally, he made his decision. "Tai'e!"
Legend has it that the Tai'e Sword was the sword of the first emperor of Huaxia, who unified the six kingdoms, standardized cart tracks and writing, and established a monumental achievement that shook the world.
Tang Ping has always held this sage in high esteem.
Imagine the Primal Universe today, a mere corner of the world, yet it is inhabited by billions of races, each with its own writing system and laws, constantly at war with one another, in utter chaos.
This is division, disorder, and disrespect for the ancient sages' concept of "great unity"!
"One day, I will surely wield the Tai'e, point it at the world, Gui Yi all civilizations, and restore the glory of our ancestors!" Tang Ping gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his heart filled with boundless pride.
Of course, after 20,000 years of painstaking effort, he had long since achieved the last two characters of that sage's title: "Shi Huang" (始黄).
Quack!
After a moment of triumph, Tang Ping put away the three Peak Treasure. Without any delay, he immediately began refining them.
Instead, a Nether Sea Clone emerged directly from the World Ring and began refining within the Solar System, choosing not to return to the God Kingdom or have the main body of the Nether Sea refine it.
This is certainly not a lack of trust in those Mountain Sitting Guest, but rather a matter of caution and prudence.
After all, he knew perfectly well that Master Mountain Sitting Guest had been plotting revenge for countless years, and had long since reached the point of using any means necessary. He, Tang Ping, was about to reach the pinnacle, look down upon all living beings, and become a true winner in life. He was absolutely unwilling to take even a one in a billion risk.
"Buzz~"
The core runes of the Peak Treasure were complex and profound, as vast and unpredictable as a galaxy, yet they did not leave Tang Ping feeling helpless. As long as he followed the clues and peeled back the layers step by step, with a progress bar in place, he would surely be able to completely refine it in time.
It's not a big problem.
Another avatar of Tang Ping sat on Golden Throne, raising his head and gazing into the depths of the universe.
Refining the Supreme Treasure is just a matter of time; the most important thing right now is to figure out the future: how to become stronger!
After all, only those with sufficient strength can truly enjoy the act!
Unfortunately, for those at the level of the Universe Master, there are very few ways to increase their strength.
After being promoted to the Universe Master, Tang Ping's authority increased dramatically, and the core database of the Human Race was almost completely open to him. The classification of Universe Master is simple and straightforward: beginner, ordinary, peak, and top.
The so-called top level refers to reaching the ultimate level of the Universe Master in terms of Life Gene Level, Supreme Treasure grade, and cultivation secret method. People like the Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Void Gold of the Virtual Universe Company, as well as the outstanding individuals of other races in the universe, all belong to this category.
However, there is another group that stands above the top: Lord of Peng Gong, Chaos City Lord, Lord of Nine Serenities—
They are the cream of the crop, arguably the strongest known Universe Master the Primal Universe!
Take the Lord of Nine Serenities for example. His clone's Life Gene Level is only a thousand times higher, far inferior to other experts of the same level. However, he possesses an astonishing secret technique. Once activated, it can compress all the energy of his clone's divine body to its extreme in an instant and explode with a roar! Its power surges to a terrifying level, enough to fight beyond its level!
Of course, this secret technique also has a fatal weakness: each clone can only be used once. Once the technique is activated, the clone will be completely annihilated, and a new clone can only be created by God Kingdom Teleportation.
But by then, the prey had already escaped.
In comparison, the Lord of Peng Gong and the Chaos City Lord are undoubtedly more daunting.
After sorting everything out, Tang Ping understood.
Ultimately, there are only four paths for the Universe Master to increase his power: the Life Gene Level, Supreme Treasure, secret techniques, and divine body!
Generally speaking, most Life Gene Level of the Universe Master are limited to the basic limit of the Primal Universe: a hundredfold increase in genes.
The secret techniques they cultivate are mostly still at the level of the Cosmic Overlord Realm. However, after Universe Master Lord Realm, their understanding of the divine soul and laws has greatly improved, making it not difficult for them to create a first-order Universe Master secret technique.
However, rare and precious materials that can elevate the Life Gene Level have always been the scarcest resources in the universe, something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after. Therefore, most Universe Master choose to devote themselves to research and create even stronger secret techniques.
The hierarchy of the secret techniques of the Universe Master is also clearly defined: from Tier 1 to Tier 5.
With each advancement to the next rank, the power increases tenfold! And the Fifth Order Peak secret techniques can even elevate the combat power of Universe Master to a terrifying level of 100,000 times!
This is the fundamental reason why top-tier Universe Master can easily defeat ordinary Universe Master!
With a thought, Tang Ping saw a pale golden information panel appear before his eyes.
[Realm: Universe Master] (1%)
[Willpower: Universe Master, Tier 2] (10%)
[Laws: Wind Laws (100%), Thunder Laws (100%), Time Law (100%), Space Law (100%)]
[Secret Technique: Sword Twenty (Universe Master Tier 1)]
[Lifespan: 21893/∞]
[Divine Power Path: (6000/10081)]
[God Kingdom: 10 Billion Kilometers]
[Nether Sea Clone: 0.8 light-years]
He has mastered the first-order Universe Master's secret technique, <Sword Twenty>, to perfection; his Life Gene Level is six thousand times higher than others of the same order; and he possesses a massive divine body capable of traversing star fields millions of kilometers wide.
Even though the three Peak Treasure have not yet been refined and can only exert basic offensive and defensive power, his overall combat strength has firmly entered the ranks of ordinary Universe Master!
The main reason for his lack of willpower was that his strength had improved too quickly; reaching this level in just over 20,000 years was already quite impressive.
The direction for improving our strength is now clear.
He only needs to diligently study the Time-Space Fusion secret technique passed down by the Chaos City Lord and elevate it to a higher level. Master Mountain Sitting Guest has already prepared all the rare and precious materials needed to enhance his Gene Level; he only needs to refine them step by step. Furthermore, he needs to thoroughly understand the secret runes of the three Peak Treasure—
Given time, he will surely ascend to the throne of the supreme Universe Master!
Only then will he be considered a true overlord of the Primal Universe!
Of course, this only applies to the original universe.
Limited by the Universe Origin Laws, even the Universe Supreme Being can only unleash the maximum combat power of the sixth rank here.
But once they step out of the Primal Universe and enter the vast and boundless Universe Ocean, those Universe Supreme Being can completely break free of their shackles and unleash sixth-order, seventh-order, or even stronger power!
Terrifying!
Tang Ping shook his head, temporarily putting the turmoil of the Universe Ocean behind him. He immersed most of his consciousness into his body and began to cultivate with all his might, his strength rising rapidly at a visible speed.
The remaining wisp of consciousness needed to get down to something truly "important." Tang Ping's lips curled into a smirk as he took out a yellowed booklet from his Storage Space: Little Notebook.
Those who offended him in the past should now be held accountable and given an explanation!
