After Snow King agreed to accept Xue Xi as her disciple, Golden Axe wasted no time in bringing them both to a lava field outside Chaos City. The space there was permeated with the Law of Fire, bathing the area in red. Waves of heat rolled through the air, distorting space.
Protected by Golden Axe's shield, Xue Xi barely felt a thing. Snow King, on the other hand, looked as if she were about to melt, her tongue hanging out. "Huangxin's grown even stronger. Could he be about to take that final step?"
Golden Axe shook his head. "Not yet. I heard he obtained a Domain-type Supreme Treasure suited to him in a Cosmic Secret Realm. His combat strength now rivals that of a peak Universe Overlord, and his understanding of the essence of fire has deepened considerably. I'd say he's made great progress along the path of the Fusion Law."
Xue Xi could hear the envy in his voice. After all, even as a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he didn't possess a Supreme Treasure of that level—much less a Domain-type Supreme Treasure, which could greatly boost one's combat strength. Acquiring one depended on a person's own power and luck.
Snow King looked envious, too. Back when the three of them had first become Universe Overlords, they'd explored the universe together. Now Huangxin had somehow pulled ahead, reaching the final level beneath Universe Master. It was enough to make her green with envy!

"Hahaha! Golden Axe, Snow King! I never expected you two to come visit
