Void-Rending Claws

In the Initial Universe, within a secluded palace in Chaos City, White Phoenix Palace Master suddenly raised her head, her gaze landing on a small gray building in the distance as she smiled faintly.

She took out all the Heavy Treasures she had acquired in recent years along with some she had left idle, looked them over, and finally placed them all into the tray before her.

"A total of thirty-seven Heavy Treasures. Offering them to the race will grant you 2.9 Treasure Points. White Phoenix, are you willing to contribute these treasures to the race?"

"I am."

Click, click, click. The tray retracted, the thirty-seven Heavy Treasures vanished, and the side hall fell into silence.

White Phoenix Palace Master flipped her hand, and a long spear appeared in her palm. It was entirely silver, with blood-red grooves at the tip, and a sharp aura emanated from it!

A tray rose from the stone platform, and White Phoenix Palace Master placed the spear upon it.

Hum~~~ Threads of cyan light rose from the stone tray, enveloping the entire spear to begin a meticulous inspection.

In the million-plus years she had spent roaming the Primal Star, this item was her greatest harvest: a high-tier Treasure! She had even fought a Universe Overlord from the Northern Territory Alliance for it, though it was a pity that the weapon she excelled with was not a spear, otherwise she would have kept it for herself.

As for the thirty-some Heavy Treasures from before, some were picked up by sheer luck while traveling, while others were snatched up when she happened to encounter them manifesting; those Venerables and even ordinary Overlords were no match for her. As a top-tier Overlord, she wouldn't lower herself to intentionally rob those Venerables, but since she had encountered them, she wouldn't let them go to waste.

She had originally been on the Primal Star killing and fighting for treasures when news broke of Ye Muxuan passing the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Only then did White Phoenix Palace Master leave the Primal Star to visit the Initial Universe, both to accept him as her personal disciple and to trade for a Treasure.

She had experienced the Primal Star many times, and her own collection of treasures had mostly been upgraded to the Treasure level. However, because she possessed three divine bodies, she had not yet been able to replace the treasures on all three with Treasures; she could only prioritize replacing the gear on her main combat body with better, more suitable ones!

"High-tier Treasure Bloodthirsty Spear. Offering it to the race will grant you 25 Treasure Points. White Phoenix, are you willing to contribute this treasure to the race?"

"I am."

Click, click, click. The tray retracted, and the side hall fell into silence.

White Phoenix Palace Master opened the massive gray list floating in mid-air and found the Treasure that had made her covetous for so long under the "High-tier Treasure" category.

"Void-Rending Claws, high-tier Treasure set. Requires 131 Treasure Points to exchange. Confirm exchange?"

"Confirm."

A stone tray rose, upon which rested a pair of silver claw-type Treasures. Although they were only two pieces, they were a high-tier Treasure set, and in terms of raw attack power alone, they were comparable to top-tier Treasures.

White Phoenix Palace Master reached out to take them, the stone tray retracted, and the side hall fell into silence.

The high-tier Treasure set, Void-Rending Claws, would shine with new brilliance in her hands!

Having once possessed the special life form White Phoenix, her main body was that of a White Phoenix, possessing three thousand times the life gene and a highly powerful innate secret technique; naturally, her sharp claws were her most important means of attack! For the sake of this Treasure, aside from bestowing a top-tier Heavy Treasure armor upon Heavenly Feather King and a top-tier Heavy Treasure boot upon Ye Muxuan, she had contributed all the Heavy Treasures and ordinary Treasures she had previously obtained to the race. Before heading to the Primal Star, she had even borrowed a Treasure from Chaos City Lord, and now she had even removed two ordinary Treasures from her other two clones. Finally, she had saved up enough Treasure Points!

Now, those two clones were left with only some ordinary Heavy Treasures. It could be said that all her harvests over hundreds of millions of eras had been concentrated together to equip her main combat body with its two most important Treasures!

The high-tier Treasure set Void-Rending Claws had attack power comparable to a top-tier Treasure! The high-tier Treasure Silver-Veined Armor could, when pushed to its limit, reduce the attack power of most top-tier Overlords to one ten-thousandth!

With these two Treasures, combined with her ordinary domain-type Treasure and ordinary palace-type Treasure, she possessed complete capabilities in attack, defense, and survival. Even when facing the most peak Universe Overlords, such as the strongest World Tree or Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, she would have no fear! If she went to the Primal Star again and was lucky enough to obtain a soul-type Treasure, even if it were only an ordinary-level one, she would have the courage to face a Universe Master head-on!

Taking one last look at the remaining 1.1 Treasure Points, White Phoenix Palace Master left the side hall. This amount of points could only be exchanged for the most ordinary weapon-type Treasure, but she no longer had any interest in such things. Her main combat body had reached its strongest state in history, which would be enough to harvest even more on the Primal Star.

In the Virtual Universe, after Ye Muxuan passed the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, he immediately became a member of the Primordial Secret Realm. His qualification for the villa in the Heavenly Region was canceled, and he was granted a manor in the Primordial Region instead.

In the Primordial Region, Manor No. 00586, the layer of white light that had originally shrouded it was replaced by blue light. The next moment, numerous servants arranged by the Virtual Universe moved in, and the entire manor began to bustle with life.

Another member had been added to the Primordial Secret Realm, increasing the count from 853 to 854!

Ye Muxuan chose one of the palaces, and he had Nine Phoenix modify some of the interior decorations to suit his habits.

In any case, this manor was merely a transition. The next World Lord-level secret realm qualification battle was only two hundred years away. Given his current level of law comprehension, entering the Primal Secret Realm after the qualification battle was practically a certainty!

He had already investigated the matter: the Virtual Universe Company currently had eighty-four World Lords in the Primal Secret Realm. Two had already passed the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, six were at the seventeenth level, and the majority were at the sixteenth level. The situation at the Giant Axe Dojo was similar, while the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance only had one person at the eighteenth level. As for the other two major powers, their strongest members were merely at the seventeenth level.

In other words, as a World Lord, Ye Muxuan passing the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge meant his law comprehension could rank in the top five, or even top three, among his peers! And considering his cultivation time and resources, calling him the number one genius of his generation was no exaggeration!

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

Setting these thoughts aside, Ye Muxuan clicked on the secret technique on the screen before him once more. After browsing carefully, he chose Bright Pavilion.

"Confirm exchange for Bright Pavilion?"

"Confirm exchange!"

"Confirmed. Primordial Secret Realm member Muxuan, you possess an 80% discount privilege. Exchange successful. Detected that you have 9,279,100 points of free exchange quota remaining. 1,440,000 points have been deducted. Remaining free point quota: 7,839,100. Remaining points: 79,293,000."

"Please wait a moment; someone will deliver the secret technique to you shortly."

Looking at the long string of numbers in his remaining points—nearly eighty million—Ye Muxuan smiled faintly. The points he had earned from passing the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge totaled 26,214,300, and passing the nineteenth level of the Illusion Sea had earned him 52,428,700. Added to the 50,000 points for a perfect score on the Immortal Altar and the 600,000-point reward, it was all right here.
