The oddly shaped supreme treasure, after Yang Hao had bound it, instantly grew from its original size of several hundred meters into a massive entity several thousand kilometers across.
"Go!"
With a surge of excitement within, Yang Hao quickly flew into the palace supreme treasure.
"Interesting." Venerable Liangzhu smiled. Seeing Yang Hao rush into the vortex passage leaving the Primal Star, he did not linger.
The bizarrely shaped palace supreme treasure looked like a chubby toad with a bulging chin. Its entire body was a pale gray, and ten horizontal red stripes covered the whole hull.
The red stripes emitted light; the brighter the light, the faster the palace would travel.
"Haha, awesome!" Inside the central control hall of the supreme treasure, Yang Hao sat upon the throne.
His consciousness spread through the supreme treasure, feeling as if it were an extension of his own divine body.
This Palace-type Supreme Treasure was named Luohua Hall, and its true body could reach a maximum size of one million kilometers in length and three hundred thousand kilometers in width.
Its greatest capability was possessing extremely formidable defense. Unless an enemy blasted through the hull, matter attacks would be weakened until they were practically useless, and soul attacks would also be drastically diminished.
Wanting to breach a hull like that of Luohua Hall would require nothing less than the frantic bombardment of an exceptionally powerful universe master to possibly crack it.
"With Luohua Hall, I can roam the vast majority of the Primal Universe!" Excitement flared in Yang Hao's eyes.
Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate!
Luohua Hall emerged from the vortex passage and entered normal space.
Following an infusion of divine power, it accelerated at a terrifying pace until it reached the speed of light.
Boom!
The stars shifted and the original starry sky vanished, replaced by a dark void dotted only with faint points of flowing light.
In the original universe, matter could not exceed the speed of light. Once light speed was surpassed, it would be transferred into the dark universe. The coordinates in the dark universe and the original universe corresponded at a ratio of one to 10.081 million.
In other words, advancing one meter in the dark universe corresponded to advancing ten thousand kilometers in the original universe.
Ten times! A hundred times! A thousand times! Five thousand times the speed of light!
Yang Hao's divine power poured in frantically, driving Luohua Hall faster and faster until it hit its limit at five thousand times the speed of light.
Moreover, this was merely Yang Hao's limit, not the limit of Luohua Hall. If Yang Hao burned his divine power to drive it, the speed could be even greater, but there was no need.
"Ding! The Top Universe Overlord combat power activation time has expired, reducing the host's divine power to thirty percent!"
Suddenly, Yang Hao, still immersed in the thrill of the palace supreme treasure, felt an unprecedented wave of weakness wash over him.
With only thirty percent of his divine power remaining, his combat power was merely one-fifth of his peak-a peak that clearly referred to before he had used the trial card.
Without the trial card, calling Yang Hao a universe overlord was already a stretch. Naturally, if he were weakened from a Top Universe Overlord to his current level in the middle of a battle, the enemy would probably die of joy.
He would simply drop dead on the spot during combat.
Fortunately, he had already entered the palace supreme treasure, so there were no safety issues whatsoever.
"Hmm, flying in the dark universe at a hundred times speed will do; I'll recover my divine power first." Yang Hao stopped drawing upon massive amounts of divine power to pilot Luohua Hall.
Flying at a hundred times the speed of light was effortless for a palace supreme treasure, requiring only a tiny sliver of divine power.
"Flying palace supreme treasures are worth between 18 and 80 supreme treasure points; I wonder what my Luohua Hall is worth." Yang Hao thought to himself while recovering his divine power.
Although he did not know its exact worth, he figured the value would certainly not be low.
"Palace-type supreme treasures really are fine things." Yang Hao thought, It's just that this Luohua Hall is an ordinary palace supreme treasure with no other special functions.
In the original work, that Lord of Sky Wolf possessed strength that was not considered formidable among universe masters, yet by relying on a top-grade senior palace-type supreme treasure, he roamed everywhere in the universe quite merrily.
As for the Craftsman God Star possessed by the Craftsman God, it was a top-tier palace-type supreme treasure. Aside from its conventional functions, it also allowed the Craftsman God to forge top-tier supreme treasures, showing just how precious it was.
"I have no chance to obtain these powerful supreme treasures for now, but my luck in getting Luohua Hall this time was exceptionally good." Yang Hao could not help pondering.
First, he had joined forces with the Golden Horned Beast, the Mother Emperor, and the Demon Race team to kill two venerables from the Northern Border Alliance, scaring the other eight venerables into running for their lives.
Subsequently, he obtained the check-in reward: a Top Universe Overlord trial card.
In a very short time, he annihilated most of the Zerg Mother Emperor's divine power, ten percent of the Golden Horned Beast's divine power, and killed one of the venerables from the Demon Race team, reaping an ordinary attack-type supreme treasure.
Yet the most bizarre part came afterward.
Venerable Liangzhu was a genuine Top Universe Overlord, yet during the battle, he hadn't even used an innate secret technique.
One had to know that he was a unique special lifeform in the universe, possessing a life gene multiplier as high as six thousand times. Naturally, he had received the favor of the Primal Universe and possessed an extremely powerful innate secret technique.
"That Venerable Liangzhu clearly didn't go all out when fighting me; with my strength, I'm simply no match for him." Yang Hao recalled.
With a six thousand times life gene multiplier and a divine body on the scale of a thousand kilometers, how immense must his divine power be?
"I don't know what Venerable Liangzhu was playing at. He contested the supreme treasure with me yet didn't use his full strength. Even without using any innate secret techniques, simply trading divine power with me would have been enough to chase me away." Although Yang Hao had prepared to risk it all, he clearly had no intention of throwing his life away.
If there truly were no chance, he definitely would have tucked tail and fled immediately.
If Venerable Liangzhu had possessed a domain-type treasure, or if his innate secret technique had been of the suppression type to trap Yang Hao, he could only have awaited resurrection.
However, Yang Hao's gamble was that Venerable Liangzhu lacked the ability to trap him. As the saying went, wealth and honor were sought within danger; if he won the gamble he could get the palace-type supreme treasure, and if he lost, the worst he would do was wait for resurrection.
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, so be it. When my strength reaches the level of a Top Universe Overlord or I become a universe master, I'll just go ask him directly."
Yang Hao cleared his mind and concentrated on recovering his divine power.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a palace-type supreme treasure, rewarding the host with a Top Universe Overlord-level check-in!"
"Ding! The host has completed a snatch from the jaws of death, triggering a critical hit for the check-in system, and the check-in reward has been upgraded to the universe master level!"
"Ding! The host has continuously triggered the check-in system, scoring a critical hit, and the check-in reward has been upgraded to the Universe Strongest level!"
Just as he was recovering his divine power with all his might, the check-in system rang out once more.
"Huh, why has the check-in system been popping up so frequently lately?" Yang Hao thought.
The second check-in had been nearly twenty years after the first, but the second and third hadn't been far apart at all.
The third check-in was even ten minutes ago-how could it be this fast?
Of the three check-ins, the first was at the Universe Strongest level after a critical hit, the second and third were both at the universe overlord level, and now this was at the Universe Strongest level.
"What reward could it be? Check in!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host on a successful check-in. You have obtained the Samsara Inheritance Secret Technique, the second turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns!"
"Ding! Notice: given that the check-in system has appeared too frequently lately, the check-in system is temporarily crashing. The host is requested to further elevate his own strength!"
"The second turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns!" Excitement surged in Yang Hao's heart; this was truly good stuff.
"A Universe Strongest-level reward, how wonderful!"
After learning the first turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns rewarded from the first check-in, he had raised his life gene multiplier from thirty times to three hundred times. His divine power directly increased tenfold, and his combat power instantly took off.
"I wonder how many times the life gene multiplier can be raised once I learn this second turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns..." Yang Hao pondered.
As for the check-in system crashing, there was nothing to be done about that.
Although the check-in system appeared randomly, overall it was still quite reliable, always rewarding suitable things.
"It shouldn't crash for too long, right?" Yang Hao thought to himself.
The entire contents of the second turn of Hunyuan Ten Turns had already been transmitted into his mind. Under the rules of the Primal Universe, such heaven-defying entities were not permitted to be spread.
"So be it. Then I'll learn the second turn first and boost my own combat power!" Yang Hao put away Luohua Hall, utilized the divine kingdom teleportation of his soul slave to head to the Qian Wu Secret Realm, and after handling his affairs, began a period of secluded closed-door cultivation.
