High-grade Soul-type Supreme Treasure

The two waited at the end of the passage. In the hall's seven other directions, the contestants were either still fighting at the doors or trying to find their way through the spatial mazes.

Fortunately, the primal will had set a deadline. Anyone who failed to reach the end of a passage by then would be eliminated outright.

3! 2! 1!

Time's up!

The deadline arrived, and every expert who had yet to reach the end was thrown out of the hall.

"What's going on? Wasn't I in the spatial maze? I was just about to solve it! Why did I get thrown out?" A Universe Overlord could not help pounding the ground.

He rarely had the good fortune to compete for a Supreme Treasure like this, yet he had fallen just short on time. If only he had fought more fiercely at the entrance, or thought of a way through the spatial maze sooner.

"What happened? Why was I thrown out?" A venerable looked equally bewildered. After entering the hall, he had hidden in a corner and barely managed to survive, only to be kicked out.

Every venerable who had entered from the same direction as him was thrown out as well. With no powerful expert among them, the venerables had fought each other far too inefficiently. Even after wasting so much time, several of them were still alive.

Boom!

The experts who had been thrown out instantly felt an unprecedented pressure bearing down on their Divine Bodies. It was so powerful that even lifting their feet to walk became difficult.

A Universe Master had arrived!

He was a Universe Master from the Northern Border Alliance, and he was not particularly powerful. Even an ordinary top-tier supreme treasure held more than enough appeal for him.

Two Universe Overlords from our Northern Border Alliance are inside, so our chances of securing the Supreme Treasure are fairly high. And with me standing guard here, which of these Universe Overlords could escape? His Divine Body was only five kilometers tall, ghostly flames flickering all over it. His enormous mouth seemed to split his face in half.

He was the Lord of Desolation, whose strength was fairly ordinary among Universe Masters. The sole Universe Master of a powerful race, he had later brought his race into the Northern Border Alliance.

His gaze swept across those present. Whether venerable or Universe Overlord, none dared meet his eyes.

If they come out and hand over the Supreme Treasure willingly, I might spare their lives if I'm in a good mood. But if they refuse, they'll have only themselves to blame!

"I have no interest in slaughtering weaklings like you. Leave at once!" The sight of that enormous mouth speaking was rather chilling.

"Go!"

"Let's leave!"

How could the experts still concern themselves with competing for the Supreme Treasure? With a Universe Master standing guard here, they hurried to flee this accursed place.

"Only six contestants remain in the struggle for the Supreme Treasure!"

The message arrived, and the doors rumbled open.

Beyond them lay an enormous space, over a hundred thousand kilometers across and more than fifty thousand kilometers high.

The doors in all eight directions opened simultaneously, but experts emerged from only four of them.

Yang Hao and Liang Zhu emerged from one door. From the other three came Venerable Entropyfall of the Machine Race, Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare of the Demon Race, and two Universe Overlords from the Northern Border Alliance.

As the six experts entered, a platform rose in the center of the hall. On it sat an energy crystal with a hundred thousand facets, radiating multicolored light.

"It's a Soul-type Supreme Treasure!" One of the Northern Border Alliance's Universe Overlords spoke first.

"To think it's a Soul-type Supreme Treasure!" Venerable Liangzhu stared at it with burning desire.

"A Soul-type Supreme Treasure?" Yang Hao had naturally noticed the hundred-thousand-faceted crystal at the center. "Could it be a High-grade Soul-type Supreme Treasure?"

It probably was. A top-tier Soul-type Supreme Treasure would be worth roughly as much as an ordinary pinnacle Supreme Treasure. Something like that could not possibly appear here.

Even this High-grade Soul-type Supreme Treasure was worth as much as a top-tier supreme treasure weapon or suit of armor.

"Qian Wu, there's something you don't know. My Soul Attacks are actually even more powerful," Liang Zhu transmitted.

"I have two Innate Secret Techniques. I already demonstrated Space-Time Tsunami earlier. The other is a soul-based attack."

"A soul-based Innate Secret Technique?" Yang Hao was somewhat puzzled.

"That's right. My Divine Body is extremely powerful, but my Soul Attacks are actually my greatest strength. Still, for my own safety, I don't use them lightly," Liang Zhu explained.

"My soul-based Innate Secret Technique can instantly paralyze an enemy's soul for a moment, making them temporarily lose consciousness. It can even sever their connection to their bound Supreme Treasures."

"If I use that move later, hurry and collect the enemy's treasures!"

"If this Soul-type Supreme Treasure is meant for attacking, I'd like to have it. I'll compensate you..." Venerable Liangzhu said.

"Since the Supreme Treasure would improve your strength more, I have no problem with you using it." Yang Hao nodded. For now, he could only trust him.

"But we haven't secured it yet. Get ready to fight first!"

All six looked toward the Supreme Treasure in the center. The two Universe Overlords from the Northern Border Alliance moved first, hoping to seize it outright.

However, at that very instant, the platform holding the Supreme Treasure retracted and vanished.

Only contestants who emerged from the same door may survive.

The sentence appeared in the middle of the hall, making it clear that there was no longer any way out.

If the six experts present wanted to live, they could only fight with everything they had-not merely to claim the Supreme Treasure, but to avoid dying themselves.

"Fight!" The two Universe Overlords from the Northern Border Alliance struck first, choosing Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare as their target.

"You've gone too far!" Faced with two enemies, Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare remained calm. Different laws poured from the golden and silver eyes on his two heads, influencing time and space respectively.

That was not all. He also carried a glowing staff. Driven by his divine power, it formed a domain.

The domain worked with his golden and silver eyes to exert tremendous control over space-time. Combined, their influence over space-time became even stronger.

Demonic energy surged around Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare, and his fighting spirit reached its peak. Even facing two Universe Overlords alone, he showed no fear.

"What a powerful domain!" One of the two Northern Border Alliance experts felt Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare's influence over space-time. The domain it formed was astonishingly powerful.

"My strength seems to have dropped by twenty percent!" the other exclaimed.

They had not expected that Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare of the Demon Race possessed not only an innate ability to control space-time, but also a Domain-type Supreme Treasure. Combined, the two produced such a powerful effect.

Still, they were two Universe Overlords, after all. Surely they would not lose a two-on-one fight?

"Desolation!"

Each of Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare's two heads held a Supreme Treasure saber in its mouth. Within the domain he had created, he moved so swiftly that a single move struck both Universe Overlords at once!

After their initial discomfort, the two Universe Overlords grew familiar with the space inside the domain and began bringing their combat strength to bear.

Rumble!

The three Universe Overlords fought in a chaotic melee, throwing the surrounding space into utter turmoil.

The two from the Northern Border Alliance had very few Supreme Treasures, and their combat strength was average. Even fighting two against one, they could not gain a clear advantage.

If the battle dragged on, their Divine Bodies would not sustain them for long. Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare's ten-kilometer Divine Body was nothing remarkable among the Demon Race, but compared with the Divine Bodies of the two Northern Border Alliance experts before him, which were only tens of meters tall, it was enormous.

"Looks like I'll be facing you two!" While the three experts fought on the other side, the Machine Race Universe Overlord, Demon Venerable Wild Nightmare, saw the situation and knew that he, too, would have to fight two opponents alone.

Yet he felt no urgency. Heh, a space like this was practically made for me. Once the mechanical weapons I spent countless years creating-worth several High-grade Supreme Treasures-begin their attack, everyone will die!

His confidence naturally came from his mechanical weapons. Wasn't an enclosed space like this tailor-made for them?

Outside, these experts could flee if they could not win. Here, however, there was nowhere to escape. They could only await death.
