Top-tier Universe Overlord

A top-tier Heavy Treasure, the Holy Sun Spear!

Qin Cang's breathing grew slightly heavy. This was a top-tier Heavy Treasure; even among those Universe Venerables, not everyone could afford to equip such items. It could be said that the value of this object was enough to make those Universe Venerables fight tooth and nail.

Perhaps the value of this Holy Sun Spear could not compare to the Huangyan Battle Armor, but in Qin Cang's hands, its utility would be even greater than that of the armor.

The Huangyan Battle Armor was a treasure focused on defense and concealment, while the Holy Sun Spear was a purely offensive Heavy Treasure.

Whether it was wing-based attack techniques or claw techniques, Qin Cang had never delved into them; only in spear techniques had he studied for a full ten thousand years!

In the future, if he were to encounter a Marquis or even a King-level powerhouse, he would need his Crowned Python Clone to wield the Holy Sun Spear to contend with them.

If, before obtaining the Holy Sun Spear, the Crowned Python Clone only had a chance to escape when facing a peak King-level powerhouse, then with the addition of this spear, combined with the defensive power of the Huangyan Battle Armor and the auxiliary abilities of the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, the Crowned Python Clone would dare to fight even a true peak King-level powerhouse. Even if he couldn't win, he could retreat calmly, rather than being forced to flee without the ability to resist head-on as he had before.

"Teacher, this item is simply too precious. With my current strength, I fear..." Qin Cang knew clearly in his heart that while the treasure was good, if word of it leaked, he would be hunted down across the entire Outer-Region Battlefield. Even within the Human Race, there would be no shortage of powerhouses who would want to make a move on him.

To possess two top-tier Heavy Treasures while only at the World Lord level—such a configuration was somewhat inconceivable in this current era.

After all, among the current Human Race, even those Venerables who were on the poorer side might not necessarily possess assets worth as much as these two top-tier Heavy Treasures of Qin Cang's.

"Haha, my disciple, I hadn't originally intended to give you this item, but I didn't expect the usually stingy race to be so generous with their investment in you this time. The Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead, the genetic material of the Sky Canopy Python, and even a top-tier Heavy Treasure set—they brought it all out. Naturally, I cannot be stingy either," Demon Wing Venerable laughed. "You must remember, the better your talent, the more the race invests in you, and the more resources your teacher prepares for you."

"I tell you this so you know there is no need to hide or hold back. Boldly display your talent; your teacher and the race will always be your backing. You must understand that your teacher and the race have only one expectation for you: to become a top-tier Universe Overlord!"

"You should have heard of the three top-tier Universe Overlords of our Human Race."

"I have heard of them. The three top-tier Universe Overlords of our Human Race are the Star Prison Devil Lord of the Universe Galaxy Bank, the Ancestral Tree Venerable of the Giant Axe Coliseum, and the Red Crow Venerable of the Universe Mercenary Alliance," Qin Cang replied.

The Human Race still had these three top-tier Universe Overlords, though he didn't know where the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master had gone. In Qin Cang's estimation, it was highly probable that he had not yet emerged into the world. As for the Red Crow Venerable, the original work did not mention him; perhaps he fell in some future event, or perhaps he broke through to become a Universe Master. After all, there were several Universe Masters in the original work whose names were never mentioned. He wondered if this Red Crow Venerable was one of the three future Universe Masters of the Universe Mercenary Alliance (Dear readers, feel free to suggest some names; there are so many characters from the original work who never appeared, and they might have some interactions in the future).

"Correct. The three top-tier Universe Overlords of our Human Race are all renowned existences in the universe. What common trait do you think they share?" Demon Wing Venerable asked.

"Teacher, as far as I know, all three possess formidable special life-form divine bodies. That is why their strength can far exceed that of ordinary Universe Overlords," Qin Cang replied. Whether from the content of the original work or the information he had gathered over the years, the basic details of the Human Race's three top-tier Universe Overlords were no secret. Once one reached a certain status, such information was naturally accessible.

The original work had introduced the Star Prison Devil Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable, both of whom possessed powerful special life-form clones. As for the Red Crow Venerable, judging by his title, it was highly likely he had possessed a powerful special life-form.

"Indeed. These three powerhouses all have divine bodies with life genes reaching a thousand or even several thousand times the norm. Furthermore, the Star Prison Devil Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable possess the ability to create clones. In terms of deterrence, they are even stronger than the Red Crow Venerable. Although the Red Crow Venerable lacks the ability to create clones, he has cultivated to this day relying on the formidable special life-form he possessed early on, and his strength is also incredibly powerful," Demon Wing Venerable explained.

"Disciple, when I possessed the Two-Headed Demon Marten back then, I didn't choose the target for my clone-birthing well. That has always been a small regret of mine. Therefore, when you wanted to obtain the ability to create clones, I personally petitioned the Chaos City Lord based on your situation, which finally led to the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead and the Sky Canopy Python. You can surely guess this much."

"I have told you so much just to let you know that the race has already given you the opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of the Star Prison Devil Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable. For ordinary geniuses, if they can become a Universe Venerable, or even just a King, the race considers it a profit. But you are different; the race has only one expectation for you: to become a top-tier Universe Overlord."

"I know this is difficult, but the most difficult external conditions for becoming a top-tier Universe Overlord have already been solved for you. The rest depends on your own efforts. If you can become a top-tier Universe Overlord, then in the future, our lineage will be proud of you."

In truth, what Qin Cang did not know was that from the moment the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead was obtained by the race, Demon Wing Venerable had been planning to take on a disciple. Unfortunately, he never found a suitable one, and after waiting for fifteen million epochs, he finally waited for Qin Cang.

The six-fold life gene level after the Yan God Clan member broke through to the World Lord level, combined with the Xueluo Crystal, and then absorbing the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead—these factors combined allowed the effect of the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead to be maximized.

When Qin Cang first appeared at the Virtual Universe Company, other Venerables were still observing, but Demon Wing Venerable chose not to wait and appeared directly to take him as his disciple.

Demon Wing Venerable's expectations for Qin Cang had never changed from beginning to end: to become a top-tier Universe Overlord.

Demon Wing Venerable couldn't quite explain why he had this thought, but countless years of stagnation in his strength had made him lose interest in almost everything.

The only things that could pique his interest were methods to become a Universe Master or the cultivation of talented juniors.

As for becoming a Universe Master, Demon Wing Venerable dared not think about it; after countless years, perhaps that drive had long since vanished.

But merely cultivating a King or an ordinary Venerable was not enough to stir any interest in Demon Wing Venerable.

After all, he had taken five disciples: two were already solid high-level Venerables in terms of combat power, his eldest disciple was approaching the level of a Universe Overlord, and his two youngest disciples were a "King Invincible" and a "King-limit," both with high probabilities of becoming Venerables in the future.

Under these circumstances, he had no desire to take on another disciple just to cultivate an ordinary King or Venerable.

Only by cultivating another Universe Overlord, or even a top-tier Universe Overlord, or perhaps a Universe Master, could his long-extinguished heart of ambition be reignited.

The Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead and the race's internal special life-form genetic material gave Demon Wing Venerable a perfect reason.

"If this disciple of mine can truly become a top-tier Universe Overlord, why can't I become a Universe Master?" Demon Wing Venerable muttered to himself, staring at Qin Cang's departing back.
