"Let's go!" After a long, anxious wait, Yang Hao finally secured the warhammer and immediately sent a telepathic message.

"Haha, let's go!" Country Lord Beichen and the other two laughed.

They pushed their domain treasures to the limit, unleashing the Glimmer Domain to ruthlessly suppress Flame Demon Venerable.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four streaks of light shot into the sky, then entered a Vortex Passage.

Worried that Flame Demon Venerable would follow them and cause trouble, they passed through dozens of passages in succession, until even they had no idea which Primal Star they had reached.

"Damn it!" Flame Demon Venerable raged, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the vast land. But every flower and tree on the Primal Star was extraordinarily tough. His boundless flames swept over them like a gentle breeze, leaving everything unchanged.

"Damn humans! What a nuisance!" Flame Demon Venerable was a powerful Universe Overlord, but without a domain-type treasure, he had no way to counter Country Lord Beichen and his companions' domain treasures. He was suppressed, while the four humans were like fish in water, their strength enhanced. As one side weakened and the other grew stronger, the humans' combat prowess rose several notches.

Moreover, the Human Race's High Venerables all had exceptional comprehension and generally possessed ultimate secret techniques at the Universe Venerable level. Their combat strength was naturally formidable.

Of course, they were no match for a Universe Overlord in a head-on fight, but delaying him briefly to help Yang Hao seize the treasure was no problem.

"Cunning humans..." After venting his anger, Flame Demon Venerable could only seek a new target. The Primal Stars would remain open for ages, giving him plenty of opportunities to seize treasures.

"Qian Wu, I never expected you to venture onto the Primal Stars alone!" Country Lord Beichen said with a laugh.

"Ah, I had no choice. I'm buried in debt, so I could only come to the Primal Stars and try my luck." Yang Hao smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you, everyone. Once I contribute this Supreme Treasure warhammer to the race and receive the supreme treasure points, we'll split them equally," Yang Hao said, cupping his hands toward them.

Had Beichen and the others not appeared, Yang Hao would have had virtually no hope of obtaining the Supreme Treasure warhammer. Fortunately, luck had been on his side. Three powerful members of his race had appeared to hold the enemy back, letting him take advantage of his proximity to seize it first.

"No problem at all. Your luck has turned around, Qian Wu. You scored a win as soon as you arrived on the Primal Stars. We'll be waiting for those supreme treasure points, then."

"Haha, those were easy supreme treasure points! We'll be off!"

The three were in excellent spirits. They had earned a decent reward without having to put their lives on the line. Although they had burned divine power, the fight had been so brief that they had only used about one-thousandth of it.

Contributing a Supreme Treasure warhammer to the race would earn roughly 1 supreme treasure point. Split four ways, that meant 0.25 supreme treasure points each-a substantial gain.

"Goodbye, everyone. I'll be off too."

After bidding the three farewell, Yang Hao did not linger on the Primal Star. He left through a Vortex Passage leading to the outside universe.

He teleported some distance, then used a soul slave's Divine Kingdom Teleportation. Afterward, he entered Chaos City and headed to the treasure exchange.

"I'm so poor. Even a single Supreme Treasure means a trip to Chaos City." Yang Hao shook his head.

There was no helping it. Since he had accepted help from others, he naturally had to distribute the spoils as soon as possible.

None of them used a warhammer, so he turned it in at the Human Race's treasure exchange, intending to transfer the resulting supreme treasure points to the others.

Not bad. This Supreme Treasure warhammer is actually worth 1.2 supreme treasure points. It must be one of the better ordinary offensive Supreme Treasures, Yang Hao thought after placing the warhammer inside and seeing its value.

He could then see the warhammer he had just turned in listed in the treasure exchange.

"Hmm, redeeming it costs 1.4 supreme treasure points."

Within the Human Race, the weak received while the strong contributed. Turning in heavy treasures and Supreme Treasures was one way for the strong to contribute to the race.

After all, while the race nurtured them into powerhouses, they had only taken, enjoying vast quantities of resources and treasures.

Once they reached the ranks of the strongest, they had to make some contribution to the race. That was only natural. The stronger the race became, the more confidence its powerhouses could have.

"The heavy treasure set from before was worth 0.3 supreme treasure points too. That means I've earned 0.6 supreme treasure points in ten years on the Primal Stars." Yang Hao rubbed his chin, feeling rather pleased.

"Country Lord Qian Wu, you still owe the race 2.5 supreme treasure points. Please repay your debt as soon as possible!"

The moment the supreme treasure points arrived, he received a debt collection message.

"What the hell..."

The debt to the race can wait. It's already been so many years anyway. Let me pay back my friends first.

Yang Hao was rather speechless. He had finally earned something, only to discover that he was still the biggest debtor.

How come all that effort hasn't changed anything?

"No, I need to hurry up and trick some sucker."

After transferring the supreme treasure points to Country Lord Beichen and the other two, he did not linger in Chaos City. He returned to the Primal Stars to continue his adventure.

Primal Star

"I'm back!" Before much time had passed, Yang Hao returned to the Primal Stars once again.

"The treasure hunt continues!"

Boom!

A streak of light shot across the sky.

"Huh? Wasn't that Venerable Jue Nian of the Prison Race?" Yang Hao's eyes lit up when he saw the figure fly past.

Like the humans, the Prison Race was one of the Six Great Peak Races. Unlike the Human Race, Demon Race, Machine Race, and Zerg, however, its territory was not in the universe's central region, bordering the others.

Instead, it occupied a remote region of the universe. Every living being born in that stretch of space belonged to the Prison Race.

It did not matter whether they were rock lifeforms, energy lifeforms, or flesh-and-blood lifeforms.

The Prison Race was also extremely chaotic internally. Its higher-ups fanned the flames from behind the scenes, ensuring that bloody slaughter continued year after year.

Powerhouses who emerged from that bloody slaughter would be accepted by the Prison Race.

"Venerable Jue Nian has an eccentric personality and likes to act alone." Yang Hao recalled the information he had read.

Most powerhouses from the Prison Race were eccentric, loved slaughter, and acted with extreme brutality.

Venerable Jue Nian was one of them. Rumor had it that he possessed a soul-defense treasure as well as an offensive Supreme Treasure. As a High Venerable, he was an exceedingly troublesome opponent who fought like a madman once battle began.

"Hmm, not bad. This guy has strong offense, but his defense is average. I can give it a try!" Yang Hao chased after him without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Two streaks of light flashed through the skies of the Primal Star, one behind the other.

"Do all humans like following people?" Venerable Jue Nian asked telepathically.

Although he had an eccentric personality, no treasure was emerging at the moment, so there was really no need to fight.

"That saber of yours looks pretty good. Why not lend it to me to play with?" Yang Hao spouted nonsense with a straight face, not even knowing what he was saying.

"Haha, you like my weapon? 'Qian Wu,' has all that debt driven you stupid?" Venerable Jue Nian could not help laughing. "If you like it, come and take it. We'll see whether you live long enough!"

How could Venerable Jue Nian tolerate such an insult? Some pauper was telling him, "Your stuff looks nice. Give it to me."

All he wanted was to slap him dead and be done with it.

"Unleash!"

Secret patterns activated on the vicious-looking saber, and it expanded to five kilometers in size. A scarlet blade aura condensed and slashed thunderously toward Yang Hao.

That wildly ferocious strike was only an ordinary attack from Venerable Jue Nian, yet it already possessed such power.

In the outside universe, an attack of this level would shatter stars and neutron stars. Even smaller black holes would be annihilated.

Only the Primal Star's unique environment and resilient space prevented even a spatial crack from appearing.

What a powerful attack! Yang Hao was alarmed.

He could not dodge this attack and had to take it head-on.

My heavy treasure armor can't withstand an attack of this level at all. It only reduces the power to two percent!

An ordinary heavy treasure armor could reduce a normal Intermediate Universe Venerable's attack to one ten-thousandth of its original power.

Clearly, if the attack were any stronger, it might not be able to withstand it at all.

Just this one ordinary attack cost me two-thousandths of my divine body. Yang Hao was shocked. That damage had been inflicted despite his 300-fold life gene level.

It was easy to imagine just how devastating Venerable Jue Nian's attacks were! A full-power strike would probably come close to matching a Universe Overlord's might...
