Top Universe Overlord Trial Card

The Golden Horned Beast's barrage of verbal taunts nearly drove the three Demon Race Venerables into a rage. Fortunately, the azure serpent remained calm and stopped the other two. "What's the rush? The Supreme Treasure hasn't emerged yet. Don't let the Human Race and the Zerg take advantage of us!"

Even if the three of them failed to claim the Supreme Treasure, they would never let the Human Race or the Zerg have it.

The four races occupied the finest territories in the universe, but their borders adjoined one another. Countless battles over countless ages had driven their hatred deep into their bones. Every gain in an enemy's strength meant a corresponding loss in their own.

For a time, the sea, which had been churning under the shock waves of battle, gradually settled. The six powerhouses surrounded the volcanic island from four directions.

The instant the Supreme Treasure emerged, a fierce battle would erupt. This was merely the calm before the storm.

"How can I seize the Supreme Treasure?" Yang Hao swept his gaze over the other five, then focused on the Supreme Treasure about to emerge from the crater.

Even though his offensive power was the strongest among the four races, he still could not guarantee that he would claim the Supreme Treasure.

The Golden Horned Beast probably had the best chance of taking it. His two other bodies stood nearby, continuously providing support effects. He came with his own buffs, especially to his speed, which was unimaginably fast.

"Ding! The host has been detected facing considerable difficulty competing for the Supreme Treasure. One check-in reward has been granted. Reward tier: Universe Overlord."

What? Another check-in? What will a Universe Overlord-tier reward be? Yang Hao rejoiced inwardly, but his expression did not change in the slightest.

He silently commanded, Check in!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on a successful check-in. Check-in reward obtained: the host's attack power will rise to the Top Universe Overlord level for the next five minutes."

"Please note: after five minutes, the host's divine power will be reduced to thirty percent. Please keep track of the time!"

Five minutes? That's more than enough! Yang Hao tightened his grip on the Mixed Jade Fang again, cleared his mind, and waited for the coming battle.

Powerhouses fought at incredible speed. Five minutes would be enough.

This was attack power at the Top Universe Overlord level, not the vaguely defined strength of an ordinary Universe Overlord.

Normally, only a Universe Venerable whose combat strength matched that of a weaker Universe Master could be called a Top Universe Overlord.

Since they were Universe Venerables, they could be resurrected. As a result, Top Universe Overlords enjoyed exceptional standing within their races, on par with Universe Masters.

After all, the human race currently had only two Top Universe Overlords, while the Zerg had just one. That alone showed how rare they were.

Yang Hao had originally expected a treasure or something similar as his reward, but instead received a temporary boost to his combat strength. Clearly, that was the best choice right now. If he had received a treasure, it would have taken considerable time to master its use and improve his combat strength.

A five-minute Top Universe Overlord trial card was the best reward he could receive at present.

Even the second turn of the Hunyuan Ten Turns would require at least several years to learn before he could raise his life gene level.

"Ah! Divine Power Burning!" Yang Hao roared. Without waiting for the wondrous Supreme Treasure to emerge, he began burning his divine power.

"Fervor!"

"Judgment!"

"Termination!"

Divine power poured into the Mixed Jade Fang, activating its secret patterns. It blazed with light like a star.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Mixed Jade Fang flashed like lightning, delivering three blindingly fast strikes that landed on the Zerg Mother Emperor.

All three attacks landed simultaneously. Space on the Primal Star shattered like a mirror, and turbulent space fragments surged everywhere. Clearly, it would not mend anytime soon.

Towering waves rose from the sea. The mere shock waves of the battle produced a tsunami over a thousand kilometers high.

The Mother Emperor's breathtaking face instantly filled with terror. Her earlier composure vanished completely.

She immediately hid inside the Mother Nest. Outside, the mouthparts of the thousand Zerg Warriors shone brilliantly. Under her control, all thousand unleashed their attacks at the same moment, converging directly on Yang Hao.

Rumble!

Another ball of light a million kilometers across formed in midair. Teleportation was impossible on the Primal Star, so he could only endure the attacks of the thousand Zerg Warriors head-on.

"Whew, good thing I have Supreme Treasure Armor. Those thousand Zerg Warriors only cost me one percent of my divine power in total." Yang Hao sensed the change in his divine power.

Losing only one percent had no effect on his strength. The Mother Emperor, however, had hidden inside her Mother Emperor Palace and used the thousand Zerg Warriors' attacks to cover her escape.

Yang Hao's attack, comparable to that of a Top Universe Overlord, had directly annihilated sixty percent of the Mother Emperor's divine power. That was despite the protection of her top-grade Heavy Treasure Armor. Clearly, even armor of that caliber could not withstand such an attack. It had already shattered!

"Still enjoying the show?" The Golden Horned Beast had been watching from the sidelines. Seeing the Zerg and the Human Race fighting, both he and the Demon Race team were secretly delighted. They had yet to notice the tremendous change in Yang Hao.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Another triple thrust struck the Golden Horned Beast's hundred-thousand-kilometer-scale body. Yang Hao's attacks created spatial turbulence there as well.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The Golden Horned Beast's expression changed drastically.

Despite his enormous divine body, taking that attack squarely cost the Golden Horned Beast five percent of his divine power.

"My divine body is so enormous. How did he do that?"

When everyone had attacked the Northern Border Alliance together earlier, he had observed that Yang Hao's attacks were powerful, but they had been nowhere near this outrageous!

"An attack this powerful must be at least at the Top Universe Overlord level!" The Golden Horned Beast possessed an immense reserve of divine power, yet a single attack had cost him five percent of it. The might behind it was easy to imagine.

The larger the divine body, the more divine power it contained. But Venerable Golden Sakura had only a suit of defensive Heavy Treasure Armor. How could it withstand a battle like this? It had already been annihilated along with his divine power.

In the past, he had always relied on his massive divine body to weather attacks. What need had he had for a good defensive treasure? He had traded most of his wealth for a Supreme Treasure longsword to venture onto the Primal Star.

Five percent might not sound like much, but this was the Golden Horned Beast-a planet-sized behemoth with a torso ten thousand kilometers long, a tail ten thousand kilometers long, and a wingspan exceeding twenty thousand kilometers.

That's going to hurt! Yang Hao thought.

Venerable Golden Sakura is used to acting so arrogant. Now he knows what pain feels like!

"Fervor!"

"Judgment!"

"Termination!"

Before the beast could catch his breath, another lightning-fast triple thrust struck.

Boom!

Spatial turbulence surged.

"Run!" Venerable Golden Sakura no longer had any desire to compete for the Supreme Treasure. Two attacks in quick succession had annihilated ten percent of his divine power. In absolute terms, that was an incalculable amount. Recovering so much divine power would likely take endless ages, or countless treasures.

Fortunately, Yang Hao had no means of keeping him there. With support from his two other bodies, the Golden Horned Beast accelerated as though he had engaged a nitrous boost, reaching near-light speed almost instantly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Only three streaks of light remained in the sky.

What had happened? The three Demon Race Venerables were somewhat bewildered. A moment ago, all four races had been competing. How had two of them fled in the blink of an eye?

Thousand-Footed Striped Centipede, Ziqian Myriad Snake, and Gold-Fearing Hou saw that things had gone wrong and hurried to flee. Even the arrogant Golden Horned Beast had run away. Following his example had to be the right choice.

Anyone who became a powerhouse was naturally no fool. But how could Yang Hao let them slip away so easily?

He could not waste his five-minute Top Universe Overlord trial card. Gold-Fearing Hou was renowned for devouring. His entire body was covered in golden scales, and his wolf-like head bore a single horn. Incredibly intricate secret patterns marked the scales on his head.

Yang Hao chose Gold-Fearing Hou as his final target, mainly because his divine body was the smallest of the three Demons, and he was also the slowest to flee.

"Why me?!" Gold-Fearing Hou roared in fury, for Yang Hao's attack had already landed on his divine body.
