As the Giant Axe Founder gazed at the " Space-Splitting Axe" so close at hand, feeling the powerful Daoist aura that resonated perfectly with his own axe-wielding path, his entire body trembled slightly with excitement.
He searched for countless years, dreaming of a Supreme True Treasure battle axe that suited him perfectly!
With it, his strength will undergo a dramatic transformation!
He extended his broad, calloused hand and, with a slight tremor, accepted the " Space-Splitting Axe." The instant his divine power connected with the battle axe—
"Buzz!"
A burst of dark golden divine light erupted instantly, completely enveloping the Giant Axe Founder!
A supreme realm of Heaven Opening, breaking through chaos, completely merged with his own Dao!
After a long while, the divine light subsided.
The Giant Axe Founder gripped the " Space-Splitting Axe" tightly, feeling the boundless power contained within it. He looked up at Lu Ming, and a hint of excitement flickered in his tiger eyes.
He took a deep breath and said with utmost solemnity, " Lu Ming, this gift—is too heavy! I—"
He was momentarily at a loss for words to express his gratitude.
This Supreme Treasure is of immense significance to him personally, and to the entire Human Race!
But—he simply couldn't refuse.
Lu Ming waved his hand, interrupting him. " Giant Axe, there's no need for formalities between us. You've sacrificed countless lives for the human race, guarding our people for so long. This Supreme Treasure is what you deserve. With it, your strength will surely reach new heights, and only then will our Human Race truly have the confidence to stand at the Universe Ocean!"
The Giant Axe Founder nodded heavily, burying all his gratitude in his heart. He gripped the Space-Splitting Axe tightly, his pride surging again, and said in a deep voice, "Good! Lu Ming, I will remember this favor! With the Space-Splitting Axe, I am confident that I can stabilize my strength at the ninth level within ten thousand years! At that time, my Human Race will be able to act without restraint!"
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
The Giant Axe Founder stroked the cold blade of the " Space-Splitting Axe," feeling the immense power contained within it that seemed capable of Space-Splitting Axe and the starry sea. His eyes grew brighter and his fighting spirit intensified.
He looked up at Lu Ming, his tone filled with eager excitement.
" Lu Ming, with Space-Splitting Axe, many of my previous ideas about the Axe Path have become possible! I feel that the bottleneck that has been holding me back for so long has finally loosened!"
He gripped his battle axe tightly, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.
"I plan to immediately return to my Miniature Universe, activate Ten Thousand Times Time Acceleration, and devote myself to studying the secret runes of this Supreme Treasure, creating my own ultimate secret technique worthy of this Supreme True Treasure!"
His eyes burned with intensity, as if he could already envision his future, where he would master his axe techniques and dominate the entire Universe Ocean: "The day I emerge from seclusion, I will make the name of this 'Universe- Space-Splitting Axe Axe' resound throughout the entire Universe Ocean!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. Strength is Giant Axe. The sooner you master the Space-Splitting Axe, the sooner our human race will truly be fearless in the face of any challenge. You should focus on your seclusion; I will handle the external affairs of the clan for now."
"Okay! I feel at ease with you here!"
The Giant Axe Founder nodded emphatically, now having complete trust in Lu Ming's strength and methods.
He stood up, thanked Lu Ming again solemnly, and then left without further delay.
The Boundary Abyss Palace stopped in a relatively safe void and opened its doors.
The Giant Axe Founder nodded to Lu Ming, then took a step forward, his figure merging into the void. He immediately used Great Teleportation to rush towards his own Miniature Universe, not wanting to wait a moment longer.
After bidding farewell to the Giant Axe, tranquility returned to the Boundary Abyss Palace.
" Giant Axe has gone into seclusion to improve his strength, and I cannot stop either."
He murmured to himself, toying with the World Ring from the God Eye Race, filled with samples of life genes.
"While the genetic sample of the God Eye Race is vast, the boundless Universe Ocean has nurtured countless wondrous life forms. My < Life Atlas > project needs even more unique genetic samples as its foundation."
With a thought, the Boundary Abyss Palace activated again, transforming into an invisible stream of light that silently swept across the Universe Ocean.
This time, he had no specific destination, but instead embarked on a journey that seemed to wander through the Universe Ocean.
His divine sense, like an invisible spider web, spread out in all directions from the Boundary Abyss Palace, carefully sensing all life fluctuations along the way.
He traversed perilous and unpredictable wastelands, exploring Barren Star Domain that even the strongest beings in the universe were reluctant to set foot in. His footprints covered ancient ruins, the edges of forbidden zones, and even the outer reaches of some Miniature Universe.
During this process, he encountered many strange Universe Ocean creatures.
Some life forms are unique, resembling aggregates of energy; some races possess extraordinary talents, naturally affinityd to certain laws; and others are rare species left over from a previous Reincarnation Era.
Lu Ming did not launch a large-scale hunt based on these discoveries.
He usually just quietly takes in a trace of life or a small tissue sample, records its genetic structure, and then lets it go.
Sometimes, when he encounters intelligent races, he will appear and fairly exchange some of their genetic samples for materials or knowledge that are useless to him but Supreme Treasure to those races.
On the other side.
The God Eye Race.
The God Eye Race, the first Miniature Universe, the Core Temple.
Seven towering figures sat atop the throne, each radiating a terrifying pressure that seemed to freeze time and space.
They are the Seven True Masters, the highest power core of the God Eye Race!
--
Normally, the Seven True Masters each reside in their own region or roam the Universe Ocean, rarely gathering together.
But today, because of a human named " Master of Ash Universe," they have all come.
The atmosphere inside the temple was terrifyingly oppressive, like the deathly stillness before a storm.
The Third True Master's face remained ashen. He recounted his journey to the Qingfeng Realm without reservation, filled with humiliation and anger.
His voice trembled slightly with extreme anger when he mentioned how Lu Ming mocked him and how his Supreme True Treasure, " Jade Eye Divine Light," was completely ineffective.
That's how it happened.
After speaking, the Third True Master sat heavily back on his throne, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
After a brief silence.
"Third brother, you were careless this time. If you had let us go with you, how could he have survived!"
A chilling voice rang out, emanating from the Second True Master.
"A dignified eighth-tier True Lord, wielding Supreme True Treasure and leading four Universe Master, was actually toyed with by a single Universe Master, who then calmly departed! You have utterly disgraced my God Eye Race!"
The Third True Master suddenly looked up, wanting to refute, but faced with the Second True Master's undisguised contempt and his own undeniable defeat, he opened his mouth but ultimately couldn't utter a word; his expression only grew more unpleasant.
