The Giant Axe Founder spoke in a loud voice, with his usual boldness, but there was concern in his eyes.
Although he was venturing into other areas of the Universe Ocean, he was always keeping a close eye on the movements of this newly emerging pillar of the Human Race.
" Giant Axe."
Lu Ming nodded in acknowledgment and cut straight to the point. "I just caught a fish here, it was the Lord of Anyong of the God Eye Race, and it has now been suppressed."
" The Lord of Anyong?"
The Giant Axe Founder raised an eyebrow, then laughed, "Haha, well done! Those guys from the God Eye Race are used to being arrogant; it's time to teach them a lesson. What's wrong, running into trouble?"
He knew that Lu Ming wouldn't contact him at this time unless something was wrong.
"There's no trouble for now, but it might come soon."
Lu Ming said calmly.
"I demanded genetic samples of all races and levels of life within their Miniature Universe as ransom. They agreed, with the handover to be completed in ten years. However, their Third True Master just arrived with four other Universe Master."
" The Third True Master?"
The Giant Axe Founder looked slightly more serious.
"That old fellow is quite powerful, capable of displaying eighth-tier strength in the Universe Ocean, and possesses the Supreme True Treasure Jade Eye Divine Light ' and the Star Kingdom, making him a formidable opponent. His personal intervention suggests the God Eye Race highly values Lord of Anyong."
No, perhaps it's because I value you.
"That's exactly right."
Lu Ming nodded.
"The transaction will be completed in ten years. I'm worried that the God Eye Race might not be obedient. They might secretly make arrangements to keep me there after the deal is finished. If a conflict breaks out then, there might be more than one True God on the other side. I need a safe evacuation plan."
Upon hearing this, the Giant Axe Founder's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He grinned, exuding an overwhelming confidence. "Don't worry! Ten years from now, I'll be waiting for you on the outskirts of the Qingfeng Realm. If they trade honestly, fine. But if they try anything funny—hmph, I haven't used my full strength in a long time. This will give the God Eye Race a run for their money!"
His words carried absolute confidence. Although he did not have Supreme True Treasure to protect him, and the Giant Axe Founder had always held back his strength, Lu Ming knew very well just how terrifying the strength of this pillar of the Human Race was.
Even without the Supreme True Treasure in hand, the Giant Axe Founder has already firmly established himself at the top of the eighth rank by relying on his own powerful secret techniques and realm!
This is extremely rare even among the strongest beings in the entire universe.
If the Human Race hadn't been weakened after the Original Ancestor was suppressed by the origin of the Primal Universe, and if the Giant Axe hadn't needed to conceal some of his strength to avoid becoming a target of everyone, his name, Giant Axe, would have been even more renowned.
"I feel relieved to hear that."
Lu Ming smiled.
"You might not even need to lift a finger then, but with you there to back me up, I can have no worries."
"Haha, that's exactly how it should be!"
The Giant Axe Founder waved his hand.
"Go ahead and do it. Our Human Race has been dormant for too long. It's time for the powerful beings of the Universe Ocean to recognize us again! In the past, I supported the race alone, and I often had to endure, but now it's different—"
His gaze fell upon Lu Ming, filled with admiration and anticipation. "With you, our Human Race now possesses two combatants at the level of the strongest in the universe! Moreover, your growth rate is astonishing, and you possess numerous Supreme Treasure. With the two of us joining forces, why should we need to be so hesitant as before? Even if Seven True Masters of the God Eye Race were to arrive, we would dare to challenge them!"
The Giant Axe Founder was not blindly confident in his words.
How glorious were Human Race in their Primal Ancestor Era?
After the Original Ancestor was suppressed, he was left to fend for himself and had to hide some of his strength, even deliberately downplaying his true combat power, for fear that the Human Race would be targeted by a united front because he was "too powerful without the Supreme True Treasure ".
After all, the existence of a single Original Ancestor has already alarmed the major powers. If another similar being were to emerge, it's hard to guarantee that they wouldn't join forces to suppress it.
But now, the situation is completely different.
Lu Ming's sudden emergence not only filled the gap in the number of top-tier combatants in the Human Race, but the many Supreme True Treasure he possessed also greatly enhanced the race's foundation.
The Giant Axe Founder knew that once he obtained the Supreme True Treasure battle axe that he had been dreaming of, he would be able to instantly leap to the ninth rank! He had been searching for it in the Universe Ocean, but Supreme True Treasure are rare and hard to come by.
Given a little time, it's not impossible for the Human Race to have two ninth-tier combatants.
With such power, there is indeed no need for excessive restraint.
"I see."
Lu Ming sensed the determination and passion in the Giant Axe's words, which calmed him down considerably.
"Ten years from now, we will proceed as planned. I will wait here."
"Alright! Be careful and on guard. I'll set off now and will definitely reach the pre-set coordinates outside the Qingfeng Realm within ten years."
After the Giant Axe Founder finished speaking, his figure slowly disappeared into the Virtual Universe.
After the connection was broken, Lu Ming's consciousness returned to the Boundary Abyss Palace.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the palace walls and see the surging waters outside.
" The God Eye Race - The Third True Master - "
He murmured to himself.
"I hope you know what's good for you, otherwise, this Tilted Peak Realm Waters might really become the place where some true god falls."
With the Giant Axe Founder as his backer, Lu Ming felt much more at ease.
He began to calm his mind and contemplate, while simultaneously keeping a portion of his attention alert to the outside world.
The World-Extinguishing Blade lay horizontally before his knees, its pitch-black blade faintly emanating the aura of Destruction Dao; the mysteries of the Boundary Abyss Palace also swirled in his mind, becoming increasingly familiar and mastered by him.
Time passed slowly as they waited. Deep within the Tilted Peak Realm Waters, undercurrents surged, and a storm that could sweep across multiple forces was quietly brewing.
After this----
It's time to give the Giant Axe the Supreme True Treasure!
Ten years is but a fleeting moment on the scale of the Universe Ocean.
Boundary Abyss Palace, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, and a fleeting phantom of the birth and death of the universe and the rotation of the Great Dao seemed to flash in his eyes.
The World-Extinguishing Blade before his knees emitted a faint hum.
"Time is up."
He spoke softly, his gaze fixed outside the palace.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the distant waters were once again torn apart by a powerful aura.
There were still five figures, with the leader being the Third True Master of the God Eye Race.
The Third True Master's gaze swept across like a bolt of lightning, instantly locking onto the Boundary Abyss Palace, which remained silently suspended in place.
His heart sank slightly. Ten years had passed, and the Master of Ash Universe had not moved an inch.
" Master of Ash Universe, the items have been delivered."
The voice of the Third True Master pierced through the waters and entered directly into the Boundary Abyss Palace, devoid of any emotion.
Let's make a deal.
The gates of the Boundary Abyss Palace remained closed, and Lu Ming's calm voice rang out. " The Third True Master is indeed true to his word. However, for safety's sake, the transaction must proceed according to my method."
"Explain."
The Third True Master's words are concise and to the point.
"First, please, Third True Master, place the World Ring containing the life gene sample at the core of that chaotic energy field in front of you."
Lu Ming pointed out the direction.
I need to inspect the goods first.
