"Hurricane!"

Holding Turbid Abyss Breath, Yang Hao attacked the void in rapid succession, his strikes light and his movements elusive.

With each of his four consecutive attacks, the power grew greater. On the final strike in particular, countless spear phantoms appeared along the rear half of Turbid Abyss Breath.

The spear phantoms formed by Turbid Abyss Breath could attack as well.

"My Hurricane can produce over a hundred phantom spears over the course of its attacks. If they hit together with Turbid Abyss Breath, their power stacks like crazy. It's much stronger than my old attacks!" Yang Hao was quite pleased with the secret technique he had created.

Unfortunately, creating a pinnacle Universe Overlord secret technique took over six hundred eras. There are only a little over a hundred eras left before the Primal Star closes, Yang Hao thought.

He had spent a great deal of time fighting relentlessly while the Primal Star was open. Through constant insights and battles, he had finally achieved some success with his secret technique.

Although it had not yet reached the ultimate level, the improvement was clear. Compared with Natural Disaster's first three moves, its attack power had increased severalfold at the very least.

Over the six hundred-odd eras he spent creating his secret technique, Yang Hao had focused on combat rather than competing for Supreme Treasures, so he had not obtained many.

Even so, he had made some gains. His Supreme Treasure Points now totaled 500.

"I'm a little stronger now. It's time to get ready for revenge." Yang Hao was now powerful, and his secret technique was a full tier above what it had been.

Once he exchanged for suitable Supreme Treasures, his strength would be quite formidable even among Universe Overlords.

"Qian Wu, your key has finally sold." A call from the Chaos City Lord came through in the Virtual Universe.

"Oh? You mean the key to the Zhenren Stone Formation?" Yang Hao's eyes lit up. After waiting so long, he had almost forgotten about it. At last, there was news.

It had happened several hundred eras ago. Yang Hao had won one of the seven keys. It was said that opening the Zhenren Stone Formation could yield treasures such as a top-tier Soul-type Supreme Treasure, a top-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure, a top-tier palace-type Supreme Treasure, or even a Peak Supreme Treasure.

Although they were not among the most powerful Supreme Treasures available each time the Primal Star opened, they were still exceptionally powerful.

A single key had little value on its own, but collecting all seven to open the stone formation and obtain its treasures gave them immeasurable value.

"Yes. We Human Race held two of the seven keys," the Chaos City Lord said. "The Machine Race had one, but they were remarkably patient and refused to sell it to the Northern Border Alliance. Only recently did the Northern Border Alliance purchase it at a steep price."

"Mm..." Yang Hao nodded. Transactions at this level could only be handled by powerhouses such as Universe Masters. Even a slight delay could waste a great deal of time.

"Haha, but we got a good price too. Two High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasures!" The Chaos City Lord laughed.

"Then my key was worth one High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure?" Yang Hao's eyes lit up. He had never expected a single key to be worth so much.

"Of course. Come to Chaos City to collect it when you have time," the Chaos City Lord said generously.

"Thank you, Chaos City Lord!" Yang Hao hurriedly expressed his thanks.

"Haha, what is there to thank me for? It's all for our race. If you can raise your strength to my level, that will be thanks enough." The Chaos City Lord waved a hand.

A Universe Master-and one of the very strongest among them. How difficult would that be? Yang Hao still had a long road ahead before he could reach the Chaos City Lord's level.

But at least he could see hope now. Compared with the former Qian Wu, whose potential had been exhausted, it seemed possible.

The Chaos City Lord went to all this trouble for me without taking anything in return, Yang Hao thought.

Merely having a Universe Master negotiate on one's behalf would normally demand a substantial payment, let alone negotiations with the Northern Border Alliance, one of the universe's nine great powers. How much pressure must he have borne behind the scenes?

Converted into Supreme Treasure Points, a High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure was worth at least 180 points, enough to buy a top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon.

Chaos City.

"So this is a High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure!" Yang Hao looked at the statue of a strange beast in his hand, formed from icy streams of water.

The Ten Thousand Skies Sea was a High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure! It was exceptionally compatible with space Venerables, but not with Time Venerables.

The Supreme Treasure had two levels in total. The first released an ocean space with a radius of fifty million kilometers, exerting immense pressure and restraint.

Within the domain, its controller could increase their own speed and that of their allies, as well as their attack speed and even their attack power.

Enemies covered by the ocean space, however, would be subjected to its powerful pressure and restraint, weakening both their speed and combat strength.

Once the Ten Thousand Skies Sea's secret patterns were fully mastered, its second level could be used.

The second level released an additional layer of mist over the first level's ocean space.

Under the combined effects of the ocean and mist, weaker enemies could even become lost in space.

Not only was the restraint stronger, but the controller could also concentrate the vast restraining domain into one area, exerting even greater pressure on a specific region of space.

"If I contributed the Ten Thousand Skies Sea to the race, I could exchange it for a full 420 Supreme Treasure Points!" Yang Hao studied the Ten Thousand Skies Sea.

"Once I can perfectly control the Ten Thousand Skies Sea's second level, I'll seek out Venerable Hanjing for revenge." Yang Hao's eyes flickered.

"High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasures are extremely valuable. Qian Wu, you'd best not use it carelessly," the Chaos City Lord could not help reminding him.

Qian Wu's strength had soared. He possessed quite a few Supreme Treasures and several hundred Supreme Treasure Points, and now he had obtained a High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure as well.

Ordinarily, an average Universe Overlord would never have such wealth. Possessing Supreme Treasures that did not match one's strength was a problem too.

"Mm, I'll be careful when I use it." Yang Hao nodded. His strength was indeed fairly ordinary, so he needed to be cautious with a Supreme Treasure of this caliber.

Some of the weaker Universe Masters had become powerhouses through their extraordinary talents, yet lacked good Supreme Treasures.

If they learned about this, their eyes would probably turn red with envy.

"Who would've thought the wealthy had their troubles too!" Yang Hao could not help laughing.

Qian Wu Secret Realm.

"Huiyun, how is your cultivation going?" Yang Hao looked at the disciple before him. Her gaze was resolute, the youthful innocence in her eyes long gone.

As Yang Hao's first disciple, her talent was not monstrous, but she was devoted to cultivation and progressed at a respectable pace.

She had cultivated at the World Lord level for five hundred eras, comprehending the space laws to an extremely profound degree before finally breaking through to become an Immortal God.

Had Yang Hao not dissuaded her, she would probably still have remained a World Lord.

"The more you comprehend as a World Lord, the harder it will be to become an Immortal later. Why be so greedy?"

As a Universe Overlord, Yang Hao had an exceptionally far-reaching perspective. Even though law comprehension was extremely fast at the World Lord level, the more laws one comprehended, the harder it became to break through to Immortal.

If she cultivated for a thousand eras and attained unrivaled law comprehension among World Lords, only to exhaust her lifespan before she could break through to Immortal, even Yang Hao would have no way to save her.

Once she became an Immortal God, she would have an unlimited lifespan. What did it matter if law comprehension was slower? She would simply spend more time on it. Time was the least valuable thing in the universe.

Fortunately, although Huiyun was ambitious, she listened to her teacher. How could she ignore a Universe Country Lord's advice?

In the end, with Yang Hao's help, she successfully broke through and became an Immortal God.

Thanks to her strong foundation, she soon reached the strength of a Marquis-level Immortal and continued to improve steadily.

"Teacher, I haven't encountered any major problems with my cultivation. But my cultivation environment is too safe. I want to venture out into the universe again!" Huiyun looked at Yang Hao with fervor in her eyes and hurriedly bowed as she spoke.

"Cultivating in peace for too long isn't good, either." Yang Hao nodded in understanding.

Years of secluded cultivation in the Qian Wu Secret Realm had steadily improved her strength, but without battles on the brink of death or trials of blood and fire, becoming a true powerhouse would be difficult.
