Founder Giant Axe is Actually Second!

When the rewards obtained by Shihua Island Master were announced, the entire Primal Universe fell into a brief silence.

Two Supreme True Treasures, plus the Divine Power Burning Technique—Shihua Island Master's strength had reached a height that induced despair.

Yet, what was even more suffocating was that he was only ranked third!

Just what kind of terrifying existences were the two people ranked ahead of him?

For a moment, countless gazes were locked onto the Sky Screen, waiting for the list to refresh.

Finally.

On the massive list spanning the starry sky, characters slowly emerged.

[TOP 2: Founder Giant Axe.]

"What?!"

"Founder Giant Axe!"

"The human race's Giant Axe!"

The entire Primal Universe instantly erupted!

Virtual Universe, the highest round table meeting of the human race.

The moment they saw the name of Founder Giant Axe appear in second place, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately after.

"Hahaha!"

"I knew it! I knew it!"

Desolate Mirror Lord was the first to jump up, his eyes filled with excited light. "Giant Axe, I knew your strength would definitely be among the best! Second place! It's second place!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The usually composed City Lord of Chaos could not help but repeat the word 'good' three times, his eyes even turning slightly red.

He had waited for this day for far too long!

Ever since Original Ancestor was suppressed, the human race had been carried by Giant Axe alone.

For countless eras, Giant Axe had walked on thin ice, not daring to make a single mistake.

Because he lacked a Supreme True Treasure, whenever he encountered those strongest beings of other races in the Universe Ocean, he had to swallow his pride and dared not truly unleash his full strength.

City Lord of Chaos had seen all of this with his own eyes.

Now, finally!

Giant Axe's strength had been certified by the Sky Screen!

The second strongest in the Third Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe!

"Giant Axe..." Darkness Master's hoarse voice rang out, and those eyes hidden in the darkness were now also glowing with excitement. "You deserve this ranking."

"Second place!" Dragon Walk Master swung his massive dragon tail, his voice filled with joy. "Now let's see who still dares to look down on our human race!"

Peng Gong Lord, Ice Peak Master, Void Gold Master...

Every human Universe Master present was unable to contain their excitement.

The suppression of countless eras was completely released in this moment!

Founder Giant Axe himself stared blankly at the name on the list.

His fists were clenched tight, and a smile of relief appeared on his rugged face.

"Second place..."

He whispered to himself, his voice carrying a trace of a tremor.

Not because of fear, but because it had been too long.

Far, far too long.

So long that he had almost forgotten that he was actually this strong.

"Original Ancestor, do you see this?"

Founder Giant Axe looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the Virtual Universe to see that white-robed figure suppressed in the deepest part of the universe.

"I have not failed your expectations."

In the deepest part of the universe, a place of chaos.

Original Ancestor, dressed in white robes, sat quietly, his body suppressed and sealed by invisible forces, unable to move.

Yet at this moment, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Giant Axe... well done."

Original Ancestor said softly, his eyes filled with pride.

Back when he guided Founder Giant Axe, he knew that this seemingly rugged man possessed an incomparably firm heart toward the path, along with astonishingly high talent and comprehension.

Later, after he was suppressed, Founder Giant Axe shouldered the entire human race all by himself.

Throughout countless eras, Original Ancestor had watched every single thing Founder Giant Axe had done.

He knew how bitter and difficult things had been for Founder Giant Axe.

But now, everything was different.

"Second place... not much worse than I was back in my day."

Original Ancestor chuckled softly, "And looking at the rules of the Sky Screen, the reward for second place will surely exceed all imagination. With these rewards, the strength of Founder Giant Axe will truly stand at the pinnacle of the Primal Universe, and by then..."

His gaze looked toward the distance, as if he could see the glorious future of the human race.

"I will finally be able to rest easy."

Milky Way Galaxy, Earth.

Luo Feng, having just finished his cultivation, looked up at the massive ranking list in the starry sky.

"Founder Giant Axe... the universe supreme master of my human race!"

Luo Feng's fists were tightly clenched, his eyes filled with excitement and yearning.

Although he was currently just a small member of the Virtual Universe Company, he was not entirely ignorant of the situation facing the human race.

His teacher, Zhen Yan King, had sighed countless times that if the human race could produce another universe supreme master, life would not be so difficult.

And Founder Giant Axe, as the only universe supreme master of the human race, had always been his idol and the goal he strived toward!

"Second place! The second strongest in the Third Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe!"

Luo Feng was trembling slightly with excitement, "My human race, we are actually this strong!"

At this moment, a surge of intense pride welled up in Luo Feng's heart.

It was the pride of being a member of the human race!

At the same time, a seed of becoming stronger was quietly planted in his heart, taking root and sprouting.

"One day, I too shall be on this list!"

Just as the human race was plunged into wild joy, other factions in the Primal Universe were plunged into deep shock and panic.

Demon Ancestor Secret Realm.

"Giant Axe... it's actually Giant Axe!"

Dream Demon Ancestor's massive silver serpentine body suddenly reared up, her scarlet eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible! How could he be second!"

Tremor Demon Ancestor could no longer remain calm, a flicker of fear flashing through the eyes beneath his serrated shell.

They had clashed with Founder Giant Axe in the Universe Ocean.

Back then, although Founder Giant Axe's strength was decent, he could only fight them to a draw or even fall slightly behind because he lacked a supreme treasure.

Therefore, they had never truly taken Founder Giant Axe to heart.

They felt the human race was just so-so, relying entirely on the foundation left behind by Original Ancestor.

But now, the Sky Screen was telling them.

The true combat power of Founder Giant Axe was second in the entire Third Reincarnation Era!

Stronger than True Void Demon God!

Stronger than Shihua Island Master!

Stronger than Zerg Queen, Starry Sky Progenitor, and even that Beast Ancestor!

"Tier 8 peak++..."

Tremor Demon Ancestor muttered to himself, his eyes filled with bitterness.

His secret technique was only Tier 8 ordinary, and Dream Demon Ancestor was only at Tier 7 peak.

Yet Founder Giant Axe was Tier 8 peak++!

This meant the secret technique created by Founder Giant Axe had already reached the Tier 8 limit, just one step away from breaking through to Tier 9!

This gap was simply despair-inducing!

"Zhen Jiao..." Dream Demon Ancestor's voice trembled slightly, "If Founder Giant Axe's secret technique is this strong, what if he also obtains the Divine Power Burning Technique..."

Before she could finish, Tremor Demon Ancestor's expression changed completely.

If Founder Giant Axe obtained the Divine Power Burning Technique and combined it with a supreme treasure...

His combat power would directly break through Tier 9 and reach Tier 10!

Or perhaps even higher!

That level of strength was already enough to crush the entire Universe Ocean!

"It's over..."

Inside the great hall, the Sky Wolf Master and the other Demon Race universe masters all looked ashen-faced.

Only moments ago, they had been discussing how to expand their territory and how to deal with the human race.

Thinking back on it now, it was nothing short of a joke!

Zerg territory.

The stunningly beautiful Zerg Queen furrowed her delicate brows, a flicker of wariness flashing through her eyes.

"Giant Axe... second..."

She whispered to herself, her voice tinged with bitterness.

As the sole strongest being of the Zerg race, she had always believed that even if she wasn't the absolute strongest, she would at least rank in the top five.

As it turned out, she only ranked seventh.

And the ever-low-profile Giant Axe was actually second!

"The human race... they have hidden themselves so deeply..."

The Zerg Queen sighed, a trace of anxiety crossing her eyes.

Although she had obtained the Eternal Pearl and her soul attacks had reached the high level of the ninth tier, she had no confidence at all when facing an opponent like Giant Axe.

After all, how could the willpower of an existence capable of creating a top-tier ninth-tier technique be weak?

And strong willpower was precisely the best counter to soul attacks!

"It seems the plan to deal with the human race will have to be reconsidered..."
