" Master of Craftsman God!" Lord of Sky Wolf roared, the rumbling sound causing the surrounding space and time to tremble. This time, he was truly furious to the Extreme Point.
"How dare he, a mere ant-like World Lord, humiliate me, the great Universe Master? Am I not even allowed to punish him?"
The Lord of Sky Wolf wanted to rush down and crush Zhang Junbao in front of him, but with the Master of Craftsman God stopping him, he couldn't do it at all.
The Lord of Sky Wolf was able to hold off the Master of Craftsman God from rescuing Zhang Junbao, and similarly, the Master of Craftsman God could prevent him from getting close to Zhang Junbao.
"No!"
The Master of Craftsman God's answer filled the Lord of Sky Wolf with despair; in terms of strength, he was inferior to the Master of Craftsman God.
"Furthermore, I agree with Zhang Junbao. Although you weren't Innate Beast God, you are still Universe Master. If you were to skin you and forge a Top-tier Supreme Treasure, it should be more than enough."
The Master of Craftsman God's eyes gleamed with a dark light; those familiar with him knew that it was the look of someone scrutinizing materials. At this moment, the Master of Craftsman God truly regarded the Lord of Sky Wolf as a material for Treasure Refining.
Even under the scorching black flames spewed by the Flame Gourd of the Master of Craftsman God, the Lord of Sky Wolf's fur remained undamaged, demonstrating its extremely strong defensive capabilities.
The cold gaze sent chills down the spine of the Lord of Sky Wolf. As a fellow Universe Master had fused with the Flame Law, the Master of Craftsman God was far more powerful than him. Whether it was secret techniques or Supreme Treasure, he was far inferior.
Although it was unlikely that the Master of Craftsman God could kill him, that look in his eyes made the Lord of Sky Wolf very uncomfortable.
"Hmph, Master of Craftsman God, if you have the guts, then stay by Zhang Junbao's side. Otherwise, my Demon Race will surely kill him!" The Lord of Sky Wolf's voice, filled with rage, rang out.
" Zhang Junbao, it is indeed remarkable that you, a World Lord, have made such a name for yourself with Supreme Treasure. However, your existence has already made all the major races feel threatened."
World Lord Level cultivator can not only slay King Rank, but also forge Supreme Treasure. If you were to grow to the Universe Master, wouldn't you even be able to forge the Strongest Supreme Treasure!
Not only my Demon Race, but also the Zerg and the Machine Race will not let you go. Even if you have the Universe Master protecting you at all times, there are still ways to kill you.
The other Zerg and Machine Race weren't willing to pay the price before, but now's the perfect opportunity to show them your threat!
"It's just refining Supreme Treasure. There are many people on my Craftsman God Star who can do this. Do you mean to exterminate all of you top races?" The voice of the Master of Craftsman God boomed, containing terrifying rage.
If being able to forge Supreme Treasure is a crime, then wouldn't most of the disciples on Craftsman God Star be guilty?
" The Master of Craftsman God, the Original Ancestor Progenitor mankind, once ravaged the universe and suppressed other races, not only because of his heaven-defying secret techniques, but also because he possessed an extremely terrifying Treasure Refining technique."
Now that Zhang Junbao has risen to power, he vaguely resembles the Original Ancestor. Not to mention our Demon Race, Zerg, and Machine Race, even the Crystal Race and Prison Race, which are far removed from Human Race, will probably be restless.
"There are too many geniuses among Human Race, and they are too strong. Do you think you alone can protect him?"
" Zhang Junbao, I've let you escape this calamity today. It's alright, your news will soon spread to other top clans. No clan wants to see a second Original Ancestor rise."
Hmph! You're going to die!
After saying that, the Lord of Sky Wolf snorted coldly, and then the Sky Wolf Palace transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew away, quickly disappearing into the Dark Universe after reaching the speed of light. The area around the Craftsman God Star was within the range of the Master of Craftsman God's power, and even with the ' Sky Wolf Palace ', it was impossible to Teleportation away.
"This celestial Sky Wolf is still as arrogant as ever!" The Master of Craftsman God shook his head, his face somewhat gloomy.
He originally did not intend to reveal Zhang Junbao's identity. Zhang Junbao was arranged by Sitting Mountain Guest to undergo training and assessment on Craftsman God Star. Once his identity was exposed, it would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the assessment.
"Great Lord of Sky Wolf, please lead us away!!!"
When Venerable Pingtian saw that the Lord of Sky Wolf had left, his heart sank.
Although he was originally suppressed by the disciple of the Master of Craftsman God, it was still possible for the Lord of Sky Wolf to save him if he wanted to. But now, the Lord of Sky Wolf didn't even glance at him and left directly.
He violated the rules of the Craftsman God Star by attacking Zhang Junbao on the Craftsman God Star, which was undoubtedly a provocation against the Master of Craftsman God.
The majesty of the Universe Master cannot be easily offended.
Even though he was Universe Venerable, he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow desperately, begging the Master of Craftsman God to spare his life.
The Venerable Kuiniu was completely stunned. When Zhang Junbao said he would skin the Lord of Sky Wolf, he felt as if the entire universe was about to collapse.
"Brother, you're amazing! That's the Universe Master! You actually dared to say you wanted his hide to make a treasure. Let me tell you, I'm also envious of that hide, but I don't dare to say anything. I think it's at least equivalent to Top-tier Supreme Treasure!" Venerable Kuiniu came up to Zhang Junbao, gave him a thumbs up, and said with admiration.
Over the centuries of crafting the Supreme Treasure, the two had become quite familiar with each other. Venerable Kuiniu lacked the arrogance of ordinary Universe Venerable, and Zhang Junbao was not one to grovel. Thus, a Universe Venerable and a World Lord interacted as equals, a truly extraordinary tale in the universe.
"He is the Universe Master of the Demon Race, not one of my Human Race. Why should I respect him? Even if I kneel and kowtow to him today, he won't let me go. Why should I humiliate myself?"
"Besides, I'm not joking. The Human Race's true Universe Master is eyeing his skin." Zhang Junbao smiled. He and the Lord of Sky Wolf were old enemies. Back in the Outer Domain Battlefield, it was the Lord of the Lord of Sky Wolf sent Venerable Tianhua to hunt him down. If the Demon Lord Luan Shen hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have ended up like Kedi.
" The Lord of Sky Wolf is arrogant and unruly? That's because he hasn't met a strong enough person to beat him to a pulp. One day, I'll make him crawl on the ground like a husky."
What is a Siberian Husky?
"There's a type of dog in my hometown that looks like a wolf, but it's completely lacking in ferocity; it just acts silly all day."
The corner of Venerable Kuiniu's mouth twitched. He had finally seen what a so-called top genius of the universe was like, someone who didn't even put the Universe Master in his eyes.
" Venerable Kuiniu, we are very grateful for your help here, but I'm afraid it will bring some trouble to your ' Desolate Ancient Race '," Zhang Junbao said, getting back to the main point.
"Don't worry, our Desolate Ancient Race always keeps its promises. Since I owe you a favor, I will naturally repay it. If you die, where will I repay the favor? My clansmen will support my decision." Venerable Kuiniu said he wasn't worried, but his face still showed concern.
The Desolate Ancient Race doesn't have a large population, only a few hundred million, which is about the size of an ordinary life-bearing planet. However, they are all incredibly brave, have a very high rate of geniuses, and are under the protection of Universe Master, which is why they can be called a high-level race in the universe.
However, in terms of overall strength, they are completely incomparable to the Demon Race.
"To be honest, the patriarch of the Desolate Ancient Race is my father, who is also the only Universe Master our clan. Within the clan, I still have a voice."
"Oh? Is that so!"
Zhang Junbao hadn't expected that the fierce-looking man before him, who showed no airs of Universe Venerable, was actually the crown prince of the Desolate Ancient Race. This identity was similar to that of Wuka during the Genius Battle, but Wuka was far inferior to the Venerable Kuiniu, and his father was not Universe Master either.
" Venerable Kuiniu, why don't you, the Desolate Ancient Race, join my Hong Alliance? You should know about the Hongmeng Alliance, right?"
" Hongmeng Alliance? You want to make my Desolate Ancient Race a vassal of humanity?"
The Venerable Kuiniu instantly understood Zhang Junbao's thoughts.
"We are not vassals. The Hongmeng Alliance consists of races that are on friendly terms with humans and support each other. Our Human Race is different from the Demon Race and insect Zerg; we rarely attack other races."
The formation of the Hongmeng Alliance was also intended to counter other top-tier races.
"If the Desolate Ancient Race joins, it will naturally be as an ally. Moreover, your father is the Universe Master, a Palace Master level figure even within the Hongmeng Alliance, belonging to the Core Member of the highest level of the Hongmeng Alliance, not a subordinate race."
In this way, if the Demon Race wants to attack you, the Hong Alliance Hall Master and my teacher, the Chaos City Lord, can openly and legitimately assist you.
Someone like the Lord of Sky Wolf can't be arrogant in front of the Chaos City Lord.
" The Hong Alliance Hall Master is helping us resist the Demon Race, which is a good idea. However, I need to report to the clan so that the clan's higher-ups can discuss and decide on it together," said Venerable Kuiniu, seemingly somewhat tempted.
The Desolate Ancient Race is no match for the Demon Race race, but with the support of the Hong Alliance, things are different.
"Indeed, this Supreme Treasure Armor originally belonged to Venerable Kurui, but he no longer needs it. Consider it a gift from me to the Desolate Ancient Race."
After saying that, Zhang Junbao took out a World Ring. Inside the ring was a Supreme Treasure- grade armor that shimmered with golden light. It was the Supreme Treasure that Venerable Kurui had asked Zhang Junbao to refine earlier.
Now that the Venerable Kurui Venerable Pingtian have been suppressed by the disciples of the Master of Craftsman God, their Supreme Treasure naturally cannot be left for them and have all been taken away.
Although the Venerable Pingtian's Supreme Treasure battle axe was destroyed, the Venerable Kurui's Supreme Treasure Armor remained completely undamaged.
Since this Supreme Treasure was originally crafted by Zhang Junbao, it naturally ended up in his hands.
"This... this is Supreme Treasure! Doesn't it need the approval of the higher-ups in humanity?"
Venerable Kuiniu stared wide-eyed at Zhang Junbao in disbelief, feeling that he had wasted all those years Universe Venerable.
When did it begin that a World Lord could casually take out a Supreme Treasure and give it away to other races?
The gift they received was a Supreme Treasure; even the entire Desolate Ancient Race didn't possess many of them.
"After all, you saved my life before. You're not the kind of person to go back on your word, and I'm not one to forget kindness. It's just an Ordinary Supreme Treasure. Although the Human Race doesn't have many Supreme Treasure, we can still afford to give it to you."
In reality, if it were a decision made by the high-ranking Human Race, they might not actually be able to give away a Supreme Treasure.
Even the Universe Venerable in the human race possess many Supreme Treasure, so naturally they cannot have so many that they can simply give them away.
However, what Zhang Junbao truly valued Universe Master of the Desolate Ancient Race. If he could leverage the relationship with Venerable Kuiniu to gain an ally of the Universe Master for the Human Race, then that Supreme Treasure would be absolutely worthwhile.
If Universe Master is born within the Human Race, the race will bestow upon them a High-grade Supreme Treasure. If Universe Master is from another race, the bestowal will be correspondingly less, with a value higher than an Ordinary Supreme Treasure but lower than a High-grade Supreme Treasure.
"Very well, since you value my Desolate Ancient Race so much, I will certainly convey your words to the clan's higher-ups and my father."
"Haha, I look forward to meeting you in the Hongmeng Alliance."
Having said that, Venerable Kuiniu turned and soared into the sky. He would definitely transmit such important information back to his race as soon as possible. Not every race has Virtual Universe Network like humans that can cover the entire universe. For most races, transmitting information in the universe is already quite good if it can cover their own territory.
After Venerable Kuiniu left, Zhang Junbao heard the summons of the Master of Craftsman God in his mind, ordering him to go to the temple on the Craftsman God Mountain.
"Greetings, Master of Craftsman God!" Zhang Junbao arrived at the temple and saw the Master of Craftsman God sitting on the throne. He bowed respectfully.
"Forget it, you have absolutely no reverence for the Universe Master. You even dared to skin the Lord of Sky Wolf; I never even imagined that!"
Zhang Junbao didn't stand on ceremony, took out a sofa for himself, and sat down directly. He didn't have the habit of kneeling and bowing before Universe Master. "Really never thought about it? Such smooth and soft leather with strong defensive capabilities, and it's at the level of Universe Master, I don't believe you haven't been tempted!"
"..."
"I really have thought about it. I just used a secret method to observe it, and if it were to be forged into battle armor, it would indeed be quite good."
"Hahaha..."
The two exchanged a smile, realizing they were kindred spirits and had long coveted the Lord of Sky Wolf's body.
"It's a pity he has the support of the Demon Race. If he were a lone wolf like the Innate Beast God, who had no one to rely on, he might actually be surrounded and killed by other forces."
" The Innate Beast God is indeed quite pitiful. He is clearly a genius favored by the Universe Origin. In terms of race alone, it is no exaggeration to say that he belongs to the strongest race in the universe. However, he was regarded as a precious resource by other races, who joined forces to kill him and even divided up his corpse."
"I'm very curious, aren't the Beast God all protectors of the Ancestral God Sect? Why did the Ancestral God Sect watch them get surrounded and killed?" Zhang Junbao asked.
" The Ancestral God Sect is the representative of the Universe Origin Will, and the Beast God are the darlings of the Universe Origin. However, not all Beast God go to the Ancestral God Sect immediately after birth. Some will never go there in their entire lives."
The actual administrators of the Ancestral God Sect are the Three Ancestor Gods, while the Beast God are much more loosely managed. I only know a little about the specifics; you can investigate for yourself if you have the opportunity when you visit the Ancestral God Sect in the future.
"Now that you've obtained the Beast God Inheritance Token, are you preparing to head to the Ancestral God Sect?"
"I originally planned to collect all eight Beast God Inheritance Token before heading there, but it seems there's no chance now. The Demon Race won't let me refine Supreme Treasure on Craftsman God Star in exchange for the Beast God Inheritance Token," Zhang Junbao said regretfully.
"Collect the Inheritance Token of the Eight Beast God Paths? You really dare to dream. Do you intend to cultivate all eight Path of the Beast God at once?"
"My cultivation method is somewhat special, requiring a balance among all the Law of nature, which is why I need eight Beast God Inheritance Token."
There are many methods of cultivation in the universe, but most of them cultivate a basic Law to perfection before Immortal, and then cultivate the Path of Time and Space after breaking through to Immortal.
But you had already come into contact with the Fusion Law when you were World Lord, and you even used that as a foundation to forge a path completely different from that of your predecessors.
"However, as far as I know, a slight imbalance between different Path of the Beast God does not actually have any impact. I have seen you refine treasures, just like your cultivation, all the Law develop in a balanced way, in order to achieve rapid progress in the Fusion Law."
But I always feel that you focus too much on balance, and in doing so, you've lost the courage and diligence of the Path of the Beast God!
"Hmm? Too balanced?"
The words of the Master of Craftsman God touched Zhang Junbao's heart. His True Meaning of Taiji was based on the Eight Great Fundamental Laws and integrated with the Space-Time Law. He had always believed that he needed to maintain a close level of understanding of the eight Law in order to advance to Immortal.
But the words of the Master of Craftsman God startled Zhang Junbao awake.
The Path of Taiji is not just about balance, but about the balance within the ultimate, combining strength and gentleness, rather than being solely about yin and softness.
While the method of balance may progress rapidly, it may also lose sight of the True Meaning of Taiji.
"Moreover, when receiving the Beast God Inheritance, one can only receive one Path of the Beast God at a time, and it is impossible to receive them all at the same time. Therefore, your balance of Law Comprehension the laws will inevitably be broken."
What should you do then?
Zhang Junbao then remembered that during the inheritance of the Path of the Beast God, one would rapidly comprehend a certain Path of the Beast God. If he couldn't maintain balance, would his True Meaning of Taiji, cultivated for so many years, be rendered useless?
In his years of cultivation, he seemed to have gone astray, but the words of the Master of Craftsman God suddenly awakened him.
