Life was very happy in the Blood Fiend Secret Realm.

Every now and then, Tang Ping and Liu Hui would have a heated argument, comparing their cultivation levels, methods, and who could be more cunning, resulting in a chaotic and even chaotic fight, yet they also respected each other.

As the two continued their relentless competition, the strength of Liu Hui's family also increased rapidly, advancing by leaps and bounds, and they even faintly touched upon the breakthrough bottleneck that stood in their way to the Immortal Realm.

Even the group's education experts, after deducing the situation, bluntly stated that Liu Hui's family did not need to step into the Initial Universe at all; they could have easily achieved a breakthrough simply through external accumulation and Tang Ping's subtle influence.

Upon hearing this conclusion, Tang Ping agreed to the plan without hesitation.

Firstly, the quotas for the Initial Universe are ridiculously expensive. Even with his current status and position, it would take an ordinary person an entire breath to go through the application process to get a quota. The level of complexity is simply terrifying.

Secondly, the Immortal Realm is high and mighty. Once Liu Hui truly breaks through, when will he have time to fool around with me like this? So I need to cherish this precious time.

He had absolutely no intention of bullying anyone.

Hehe~

It was just another ordinary day.

Tang Ping was arguing with Liu Hui, spittle flying everywhere, when suddenly his brows furrowed slightly. The playful atmosphere around him vanished instantly, and a terrifyingly powerful aura quietly emanated from his body. The surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted by this aura, and even the wind stopped.

Before Liu Hui could react to why his good brother's style had suddenly changed, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and Tang Ping's figure had vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace behind.

"Holy crap! Where's my brother?!" Liu Hui was dumbfounded and shouted at the top of his lungs, completely stunned.

All these years of tempering in the Blood Fiend Secret Realm, struggling through bloodshed and carnage, if it weren't for Tang Ping accompanying him through thick and thin, he would have collapsed long ago.

That sudden surge of power just now made his heart pound. Had this guy suddenly awakened some kind of Tiantian and run away?

Of course he wanted his brother to be well, but it couldn't have happened so suddenly! The key point is that he didn't take him with him when he ran away!

Waaaaah~

The headquarters of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the Peng Gong Divine Temple, and the secret rear area.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the universe, and the primordial Laws of Origin of the Primal Universe, carrying unparalleled pressure, crashed down from the depths of the cosmos.

Approaching.

Above the secret realm, vortexes of law, each over a hundred kilometers in diameter, surged and churned wildly. The two extreme colors, black and white, intertwined and entwined. The outer black vortex was cold and desolate, seemingly about to devour all things in heaven and earth and annihilate all laws; the inner white vortex was lustrous and dazzling, containing endless vitality and nourishing the origin of heaven and earth.

Layer upon layer of black and white vortexes nested together, their overwhelming power sweeping in all directions. That pressure penetrated straight to the soul, and was even sensed by the Cosmic Venerable one millions of kilometers away.

At the very core of the vortex, a law-based passage spanning heaven and earth suddenly opened up. The inner walls of the passage were filled with densely packed primordial runes. One end connected to the ethereal and endless Universe Origin Sea, interwoven with laws, while the other end was firmly anchored in the center of the secret place, motionless.

"This aura—it's terrifying! What happened?"

"My God, has this triggered the Laws of Origin of the Primal Universe? Could someone be about to break through to become the Universe Master?"

"This is terrifying! The secret runes and restrictions across the entire continent are trembling. Is the heavens about to crack?"

Countless Immortal Expert were alarmed by this fluctuation, and even several reclusive Cosmic Venerable looked over from afar, their eyes filled with shock and doubt.

This Coin Continent is a collection of the universe's most advanced technology and ancient secret runes and restrictions. Ordinary experts don't even have the qualifications to approach it. Yet, it has caused such a world-shaking commotion that the entire territory of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank headquarters is trembling slightly.

The next moment, a figure in black stepped through the air and appeared in the sky above the Coin Continent as if by Teleportation. It was Tang Ping.

With his privileges, he could move freely through this top-level forbidden area for Human Race as if it were his own territory, without triggering a single alarm.

And there already stood a figure: Lord of Peng Gong.

Lord of Peng Gong stood casually with his hands behind his back, yet he exuded an aura of overwhelming power that seemed to look down upon the world.

This powerful figure was covered in a dark purple star-patterned robe, the hem of which fluttered in the breeze, shimmering with a faint golden halo. Embroidered on it was a simplified "Star River Coin" totem, with a slowly rotating miniature star system at the center of the coin. The star orbits intersected, the nebulae surged, concealing the universe and revealing the supreme power of the Universe Master.

"Grandmaster," Tang Ping greeted casually, cupping his hands in greeting.

Lord of Peng Gong nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the small figure below the passage of laws, not shifting even slightly.

Tang Ping also looked over and saw that the little figure was none other than his master: Wind-Thunder Venerable.

At this moment, Wind-Thunder Venerable was a small figure, barely reaching his waist. She was dressed in black, and her delicate face was full of focus. Only the surging fluctuations of laws around her indicated that she was undergoing a breakthrough to Universe Master.

However, in Tang Ping's view, the momentum of this breakthrough was far inferior to that of his own back then.

However, being so small, it's rather cute.

A moment later, the surging fluctuations of the laws between heaven and earth suddenly subsided, and the law passage that spanned heaven and earth slowly closed.

As the ripples of time and space gently spread, the figure of Wind-Thunder Venerable instantly appeared before Lord of Peng Gong. She was still in that miniature form, her black clothes making her face even more exquisite. Her Double Pupils, one gold and one silver, curved into crescent moons, and she couldn't stop smiling. Her eyes were full of joy, and there was no trace of the decisive and ruthless female killing god she was outside.

"Master! I've finally broken through! I've become the Universe Master!" Wind-Thunder Venerable's voice was soft and sweet, filled with undisguised joy as he skipped and hopped over to Lord of Peng Gong.

Lord of Peng Gong laughed heartily, his voice shaking the surrounding space slightly. "Hahaha, excellent! My precious disciple, you are indeed amazing! You truly deserve to be my disciple, Peng Gong!"

"Of course~" Wind-Thunder Venerable proudly raised his chin, his little head held high, completely different from his cold demeanor outside.

"Hehe." Tang Ping stood aside, watching the heartwarming scene between the master and apprentice with a smile.

I really didn't expect that my master, who is usually stern and quick to threaten, would have such a sweet and gentle side.

As the laughter subsided, Wind-Thunder Venerable noticed Tang Ping standing to the side. His golden and silver Double Pupils glared at him, and he instantly puffed out his cheeks, hands on his hips. "What are you doing here? Who let you come?"

Tang Ping quickly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and began to flatter in a serious tone. "This disciple naturally sensed Master's breakthrough and came here specifically to congratulate Master on ascending to the Universe Master and becoming the supreme ruler of our Human Race!"

"Of course." Wind-Thunder Venerable was instantly flattered, raising his head and puffing out his chest, looking arrogant and haughty.

However, upon further reflection, he abruptly suppressed his arrogance, coughed twice, silently channeling his Divine Power to rise several meters, precisely positioning himself higher than Tang Ping but lower than Lord of Peng Gong. Only then did he clear his throat and say in a deliberately serious tone, "However, this breakthrough is also largely thanks to the secret technique you taught me. Thank you!"

Tang Ping's lips curled into a slight smile as he arrogantly declared, "That's only natural. Who rules this vast land? Only I, Anle, reign supreme!"

Master, you don't need to bother comprehending the secret techniques anymore. I'll teach you them after I've thoroughly understood and integrated the Chaos City Lord's secret techniques. Then, we, master and disciple, can both reach the Tier-Five Universe Master and roam freely across the universe. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Wind-Thunder Venerable's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded hurriedly, "Of course! Of course! Then you'd better hurry!"

She used to disdain comprehending other people's secret techniques, believing that only her own self-created techniques were most suitable for her. But since she tasted the sweetness of Tang Ping's teachings, her breakthrough speed has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and she has long since thrown that arrogance to the winds.

Bang!

A sharp crack of the knuckles rang out, and Wind-Thunder Venerable covered his smooth forehead, looking at Lord of Peng Gong with teary eyes. "Master! I've become the Universe Master! Why did you hit me!"

Lord of Peng Gong stood with his hands behind his back, exasperated. "Tang Ping is content with a life of leisure, unwilling to work hard, and has always followed the path of comprehending other people's secret techniques, so naturally I have no expectations for him. But what about you? Do you also want to stop at the fifth level, remain below me for life, and forever be overshadowed by me?"

Wind-Thunder Venerable secretly glanced at his master, muttering to himself, his little face full of resentment, clearly plotting some future revenge. Yet, he still obediently nodded, looking aggrieved, and said, "Alright~"

After all, if he doesn't break through to a higher level, how will he ever get back all the hard knocks he's endured over the years? How will he ever be able to hold his head high in front of his master again?

Rush!

Seeing that she had given in, Lord of Peng Gong nodded in satisfaction, then burst into laughter that echoed throughout the entire Coin Continent.

The Peng Gong Lineage, with its three generations of masters—grandmaster, Grandmaster —all becoming Universe Master, is a magnificent and miraculous achievement, unprecedented in the entire history of Human Race! From now on, let's see who dares to say that Peng Gong's disciples are incompetent.

This wave of energy will allow him to boast about it for billions of years, even among the strongest Human Race and in the Primal Universe and the Universe Ocean!

Upon hearing this loud laughter, the immortals and Venerable who had come to investigate exchanged glances, then smiled knowingly.

The ruler smiled; that must be a very good thing.

While Lord of Peng Gong was still happily imagining his future "bragging spree," Wind-Thunder Venerable was already rubbing his small hands together, his light swirling back and forth between Lord of Peng Gong and Tang Ping, before extending his delicate white hand and placing it in front of them.

"Master, my dear disciple, I've achieved such a joyous breakthrough to the Universe Master! What about a gift? I'm not greedy. Just some Supreme Treasure or rare herbs that can increase Gene Multiplier will suffice. Nothing too expensive."

Lord of Peng Gong:----

Tang Ping:----

So, having just broken through to the Universe Master, he's already sponging off his parents and children?

Lord of Peng Gong, said irritably, "No! Now that you've become the Universe Master, your race will allocate resources equivalent to a Top-tier Supreme Treasure. As for the rest, you'll have to earn them in the universe yourself!"

Tang Ping also spread his hands, looking miserable. "Master, don't you know your disciple? He stays at home all day, never leaving the house. The other day he even asked Grandmaster for pocket money to support his family. What treasures could he possibly have as gifts?"

All he possessed were the three Peak Treasure bestowed upon Mountain Sitting Guest.

"What?!"

Wind-Thunder Venerable's golden and silver Double Pupils widened instantly, his pink lips opened into an "O" shape, he was shocked, and his voice rose eight octaves.

"You actually have three Peak Treasure?! I... I... I... Waaah, this is so unfair! Why is your teacher so generous to you, giving you three Peak Treasure, while my master is so stingy, he can't even give you a single Top-tier Supreme Treasure!"

As she spoke, she eagerly moved closer to Lord of Peng Gong, tugged at the hem of his robe and shook it, rubbing her little head against him. Her golden and silver Double Pupils were big and watery, making her look exactly like a little kitten begging for food. Her miniature appearance, coupled with her tearful expression, was incredibly endearing.

Lord of Peng Gong:???

He flung his disciple's hand away, veins throbbing on his forehead. "Look for yourself at the Supreme Treasure I'm using! There are only a handful of Peak Treasure in the entire Human Race, and most of them are still Giant Axe that old man's hands. I don't even have any, so what am I going to give you?"

No, get out!

Despite being rebuffed, Wind-Thunder Venerable was not discouraged. His eyes darted around, and he eagerly moved closer to Tang Ping, clutching his sleeve tightly with his little hands, nuzzling his arm with his head, his Double Pupils gazing at him pitifully.

Tang Ping looked at his master's shameless act, his lips twitched, and he pondered for a moment. Then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh. "Master, I've got it! The Primitive Star will open in tens of thousands of years! You are an unparalleled assassin in the universe, and no one can match your stealth and assassination skills. I have the Peak Supreme Treasure Armor to protect me, and my divine body is enormous and incomparable, making me a mobile meat shield."

How about we team up, master and apprentice, and go to the Primitive Star to scavenge some treasures? I'll tank the damage and act as bait, while you ambush from behind and pick up the scraps. Clear division of labor, and we'll split the spoils 50/50, how about that?

Wind-Thunder Venerable was taken aback, then reacted, raising his hand and poking Tang Ping's fingertip with his slender little finger. "It's a deal! No going back on your word!"

"I will never go back on my word!"

Hehehe~

Hehehe~

Two sinister laughs echoed in the sky above the secret realm. A man and his master huddled together, whispering and plotting their "get-rich-quick scheme" on the Primitive Star, their faces beaming with excitement. They looked nothing like the pillars of Human Race and the Universe Master; they resembled two notorious bandits preparing to rob a place.

Looking at the master Lord of Peng Gong shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Given that Peng Gong was an upright, kind, and self-disciplined man throughout his life, how could he have taken on two such unconventional apprentices and grand-apprentices?

One is stingy and calculating, the other is greedy and avaricious; they're even plotting to rob Primitive Star. What if they fail? Wouldn't they be utterly disgraced in the Primal Universe?

Alas, what a misfortune for our sect!
