"Think you can bully the Human Race because we have no one to stand up for us?" the Lord of Ice Peak asked, his voice chilling.
Fueled by divine power, his top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure crushed all the spacetime controlled by the Lord of Desolation, unleashing its formidable domain.
It placed the Northern Border Alliance's Universe Master under immense pressure.
Having suppressed the Lord of Desolation, the Lord of Ice Seal looked toward the grand hall. "I wonder how Qian Wu is doing in there."
Like the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Ice Peak was a Universe Master of the Virtual Universe Company. Though aloof, he was powerful and handled important matters well.
When he heard that the Qian Wu Country Lord had entered a grand hall comparable to a top-tier supreme treasure on the Primal Star to compete for a treasure, he decided to come help.
As luck would have it, he ran straight into a Universe Master of the Northern Border Alliance waiting outside.
"Good thing Qian Wu notified Chaos in advance. Otherwise, before a Universe Master..."
The Lord of Ice Peak merely activated his Domain Supreme Treasure casually, yet the Lord of Desolation had to expend tremendous effort to resist it.
Boom!
Another powerful aura swept in.
Rings of lotus leaves encircled his body, and his head resembled the center of a flower. He was the Lord of Black Lotus, the representative of the Northern Border Alliance's six great plant-life races.
"Ice Peak, the Northern Border Alliance has countless powerhouses. How could we let you bully us as you please?" As an exceptionally powerful Universe Master, the Lord of Black Lotus naturally possessed a formidable Domain-type Supreme Treasure. He suppressed the Lord of Ice Peak's Cold Mist Realm as he spoke.
"The Lord of Black Lotus?" Ice Peak's expression remained cold, but inwardly, he was stirred.
As a plant life-form, the Lord of Black Lotus not only had an enormous divine body but was also exceedingly powerful. Even among the Northern Border Alliance's hundred-plus Universe Masters, he ranked in the top three.
Although the Human Race had several powerhouses comparable to the Lord of Black Lotus, Ice Peak was not one of them.
"What, are you going to start a major battle over a mere top-tier supreme treasure?" the Lord of Ice Peak asked calmly.
The Lord of Black Lotus casually swayed his flower-like head. "Haha, one top-tier supreme treasure certainly isn't worth a battle between us."
"Hmph! Desolation, let's go!" Though the Lord of Black Lotus was powerful, this was not a good time to fight.
Every Universe Master of the Human Race was formidable and possessed numerous supreme treasures. They were all difficult opponents.
Their people had already fallen inside. With so many treasures on the Primal Star, making enemies of the Human Race over an ordinary top-tier supreme treasure simply was not worth it.
The Lord of Black Lotus had only feared that the Lord of Desolation would suffer here. After all, his strength was rather lacking.
Inside the grand hall, the chamber, two hundred thousand kilometers in diameter, had been ravaged by battle and then swept by four self-detonations, leaving its space in a horrific state. Once the space had more or less recovered, Yang Hao and Liang Zhu looked toward the energy crystal rising again at its center.
The energy crystal had a hundred thousand facets and radiated a faint, multicolored glow.
"So this is a high-grade Soul-type Supreme Treasure!" Yang Hao said, looking at the treasure.
"I hope it's an offensive Soul-type Supreme Treasure. That would greatly increase my strength, and might even let my Innate Secret Technique evolve!" Liang Zhu gazed at the crystal.
"Take it and have a look!" Yang Hao gestured.
They had only been friends for a short time, but they respected each other enough that, despite how badly Liang Zhu wanted this soul treasure, he had not simply claimed it.
"All right!" Liang Zhu hesitated no longer.
The hundred-thousand-faceted crystal instantly blazed with brilliant light before merging into Liang Zhu's body.
His already sacred divine body became even more majestic under the soul treasure's enhancement.
After a long while, Venerable Liangzhu laughed. "Haha, it really is a Soul-type Supreme Treasure for Soul Attacks!"
"With this Hundred-Thousand Soul Crystal, my strength will keep increasing for some time. Once I've mastered it completely and cultivated further, I'll probably be able to rival a Top Universe Overlord!"
It was actually that powerful. A single high-grade Soul-type Supreme Treasure could raise Liang Zhu's strength to the level of a Top Universe Overlord.
"Then congratulations!" Yang Hao said with a smile.
In his own hands, the Hundred-Thousand Soul Crystal would be most useful for guarding his soul, or he could contribute it to his race in exchange for supreme treasure points.
Using it to increase a friend's strength was an excellent outcome.
A Top Universe Overlord-what incredible combat power. They can already exchange a few blows with an ordinary Universe Master, Yang Hao thought. He still had a long way to go before reaching that level.
"Haha, thank you, my friend," Venerable Liangzhu said with a smile.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After speaking, he moved his hoofed claws, and four supreme treasures appeared before Yang Hao.
"Here are four high-grade supreme treasures. All the spoils from our earlier battles are yours too. Even then, I'm still getting the better end of the deal." Liang Zhu did not let Yang Hao lose out.
On top of the earlier spoils, he had brought out four high-grade supreme treasures.
After all, the battle in the chamber had involved not only the Machine Race's mechanical weapons, but also three Universe Overlords from the Northern Border Alliance and the Demon Race.
Between them, they had possessed two High-tier Attack Supreme Treasures, six ordinary supreme treasures, and one Domain-type Supreme Treasure.
Although Yang Hao had not obtained the final treasure after entering the temple to compete for it, his gains were still considerable.
His spoils totaled three High-tier Attack Supreme Treasures, nine ordinary supreme treasures, two ordinary Domain-type Supreme Treasures, and three Top-grade Set-type Heavy Treasures.
There was also the Entropy Decomposer belonging to the Machine Race powerhouse, Venerable Entropyfall, and finally the four high-grade supreme treasures Liang Zhu had voluntarily offered.
This friend of mine really has a lot of supreme treasures. He can casually produce four high-grade ones.
"In that case, I'll gladly accept!" Without wasting words, Yang Hao took the four high-grade supreme treasures.
"It was a pleasure working with you, my friend!" Venerable Liangzhu smiled.
After roaming the universe for hundreds of millions of years, he had actually befriended a human powerhouse because of a strange feeling.
"My friend, let's go. A powerhouse from the Human Race is still waiting outside for us," Yang Hao said with a smile.
To avoid being trapped at the entrance by a powerhouse, Yang Hao's divine power avatar had already notified the Chaos City Lord. He had since received word that the Lord of Ice Peak was waiting outside.
He could not keep a Universe Master waiting too long.
"Oh? It seems belonging to a powerful race has quite a few advantages." Venerable Liangzhu's eyes lit up.
Rumble!
The two entered the passage that had opened in the chamber.
"Lord of Ice Peak!" Seeing the man outside, with graying temples, ancient battle armor, and a sword on his back, Yang Hao recognized him at once.
"Lord of Ice Peak!" In the universe, strength commanded respect, and Liang Zhu, who had followed Yang Hao outside, greeted him as well.
"This is my friend, Venerable Liangzhu of the Ancestral God Cult," Yang Hao hurriedly explained.
It was perfectly normal for powerhouses roaming the universe to make friends. Besides, Liang Zhu did not belong to an enemy race, so Ice Peak said nothing more.
He nodded, then departed through a Vortex Passage.
"He really is aloof," Venerable Liangzhu said, looking in the direction Ice Peak had left.
"Haha, every powerhouse has their own personality. But our Lord of Ice Peak is a very good person," Yang Hao said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first. I've already gained plenty from this opening of the Primal Star," Venerable Liangzhu said. "Take this token. You can use it to contact me when you visit the Ancestral God Secret Realm."
The time had come to say goodbye. Although the Primal Star would remain open for a long time, they had already gained enough. It was better to focus on improving their strength first.
"Goodbye, my friend." Yang Hao nodded.
Venerable Liangzhu left as well. In the blink of an eye, Yang Hao was alone.
"Whew, how strange. I actually made a friend like this." Looking at the token in his hand, Yang Hao could not help smiling.
Whatever the case, this friend was powerful and generous, and worth getting to know better.
"I've gained plenty too. Time for another trip to the Initial Universe."
He now had nearly ten high-grade supreme treasures, along with the Machine Race's Entropy Decomposer. He did not know how much it was worth, but a complete set should fetch quite a lot.
