Void-Rending Claws

In a remote palace in Chaos City, in the Initial Universe, White Phoenix Palace Master suddenly lifted her head. Her gaze fell on a distant gray tower, and she smiled faintly.

She took out the Heavy Treasures she had acquired in recent years, along with some she had previously left unused. After looking them over, she placed them all on the tray before her.

"Thirty-seven Heavy Treasures in total. Offering them to the race will earn you 2.9 Supreme Treasure Points. White Phoenix, are you willing to contribute these treasures to the race?"

"Yes."

Clack, clack, clack—the tray was taken away, and the thirty-seven Heavy Treasures vanished. The side hall fell silent.

White Phoenix Palace Master flipped her hand, and a spear appeared in her palm. It was silver all over, with a blood-red groove near the tip, and a faintly keen aura.

A tray rose from the stone platform. White Phoenix Palace Master placed the spear on it.

Buzz~~~ Threads of green light rose from the stone tray and enveloped the spear, meticulously inspecting it.

During the more than one million years she had spent exploring Primal Stars, this treasure had been her greatest find: a High-grade Supreme Treasure! She had even fought a Universe Overlord from the Northern Territory Alliance over it. Unfortunately, spears weren't her weapon of choice, or she would have kept it for herself.

As for the more than thirty Heavy Treasures she had just offered, some had been lucky finds along the way, while others had appeared just as she happened to pass by, letting her seize them without much trouble. Those Venerables and even ordinary Overlords couldn't compete with her. As a Top Overlord, she wouldn't stoop to deliberately robbing Venerables, but she wouldn't let an opportunity go to waste if one came her way.

She had still been fighting and competing for treasures on a Primal Star when news broke that Ye Muxuan had passed the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Only then had White Phoenix Palace Master left the Primal Star and come to the Initial Universe. Taking him on as her direct disciple was only part of the reason; she had also come to trade for Supreme Treasures!

She had explored Primal Stars many times, and nearly all the treasures on her had already been replaced with Supreme Treasures. However, she had three divine bodies, so she still hadn't been able to replace all the treasures on them. She could only start by upgrading the Supreme Treasures on her main battle body to better, more suitable ones!

"High-grade Supreme Treasure, Bloodthirsty Spear. Offering it to the race will earn you 25 Supreme Treasure Points. White Phoenix, are you willing to offer it to the race?"

"Yes."

Clack, clack, clack—the tray was taken away, and the side hall fell silent.

White Phoenix Palace Master opened the huge gray list floating in midair and found the treasure she had coveted for a long time under the "High-grade Supreme Treasure" category.

"Void-Rending Claws, a High-grade Supreme Treasure set. Exchange cost: 131 Supreme Treasure Points. Do you wish to exchange for it?"

"Exchange."

A stone tray rose, carrying a pair of silver claw-type Supreme Treasures. Though they were only two pieces, they formed a High-grade Supreme Treasure set, and their attack power alone rivaled that of a Top-tier Supreme Treasure.

White Phoenix Palace Master reached out and picked them up. The stone tray retracted, and the side hall fell silent.

The High-grade Supreme Treasure set, Void-Rending Claws, would shine anew in her hands!

After possessing the Special Lifeform White Phoenix, her true form had become a White Phoenix. She had a life gene level of three thousand times and a powerful Innate Secret Technique. Naturally, her claws were also her most important means of attack! To obtain this treasure, she had contributed all the Heavy Treasures and Ordinary Supreme Treasures she had previously acquired to the race, aside from bestowing a Top-tier Heavy Treasure armor on Heavenly Feather King and a pair of Top-tier Heavy Treasure boots on Ye Muxuan. Before heading to the Primal Stars, she had even borrowed a Supreme Treasure from Chaos City Lord. Now, she had finally saved enough Supreme Treasure Points by removing the two Ordinary Supreme Treasures from her other two bodies as well!

Now, those two bodies had only some Ordinary Heavy Treasures left. One could say that all her gains across countless eras had been gathered together to equip her main battle body with its two most important Supreme Treasures!

The High-grade Supreme Treasure set Void-Rending Claws had attack power comparable to a Top-tier Supreme Treasure! The High-grade Supreme Treasure Silver-Veined Armor, when pushed to its limit, could weaken the attacks of most Top Overlords to one ten-thousandth of their original power!

With these two Supreme Treasures, plus an Ordinary Domain-type Supreme Treasure and an Ordinary Palace-type Supreme Treasure, she had everything she needed for offense, defense, and survival. Even facing the most powerful Universe Overlords, such as Strongest World Tree and Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, she wouldn't fear them in the slightest! If she got lucky and found a Soul-type Supreme Treasure on a Primal Star—even an ordinary one—she would have the courage to face a Universe Master!

After glancing at her remaining 1.1 Supreme Treasure Points, White Phoenix Palace Master left the side hall. That many points could only buy the most ordinary weapon-type Supreme Treasure, which she no longer cared for. Her main battle body had reached the strongest state it had ever been in, and she was ready to gain even more on a Primal Star.

In the Virtual Universe, after Ye Muxuan passed Primordial Tongtian Mountain, he became a member of the Primordial Secret Realm. His villa in the Heavenly Region no longer qualified, so he was assigned a manor in the Taichu Region instead.

At Manor No. 00586 in the Taichu Region, the white light that had originally enveloped it was replaced by blue. The next moment, the many servants arranged by the Virtual Universe Company moved in, and the manor came to life.

The Primordial Secret Realm had gained another member, bringing its total from 853 to 854!

Ye Muxuan chose one of the palaces, and had Nine Phoenix change some of its interior decor to suit her usual preferences.

In any case, this manor was just a temporary stop. The next World Lord Level Secret Realm Qualification Battle was only two hundred years away. Given his current Law Comprehension, entering the Primal Secret Realm after the Qualification Battle was practically a sure thing!

He had already confirmed the current situation: the Virtual Universe Company had eighty-four World Lords in the Primal Secret Realm, two of whom had passed the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, six were at the seventeenth, and most were at the sixteenth. The Giant Axe Dojo was in a similar situation. The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance had only one at the eighteenth level, while the strongest among the other two factions were each at the seventeenth.

In other words, as a World Lord, Ye Muxuan's passing the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge put his Law Comprehension among the top five of his generation, perhaps even the top three! Considering his training time and resources, calling him the greatest genius of his generation wouldn't be an exaggeration!

It would have been strange if he couldn't enter the Primal Secret Realm under these circumstances.

Setting aside his thoughts, Ye Muxuan opened the Secret Techniques on the screen before him again. After browsing carefully, he chose Bright Pavilion.

"Confirm exchange for Bright Pavilion?"

"Confirm exchange!"

"Confirmed. Muxuan, member of the Primordial Secret Realm, you have an 80% discount. Exchange successful. Your remaining free exchange allowance is 9,279,100 points. 1,440,000 points have been deducted. Your remaining free points are 7,839,100, and your remaining points are 79,293,000."

"Please wait. Someone will deliver the Secret Technique shortly."

Looking at the long string of digits in his remaining points, nearly eighty million, Ye Muxuan smiled faintly. Passing the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge had earned him 26,214,300 points. Passing the nineteenth level of the Illusion Sea had earned him 52,428,700 points. On top of that, he had earned 50,000 points for a perfect score at the Immortal Altar and received a 600,000-point reward. They were all right there.
