The Youmo Country Lord's lips twitched slightly, his usually compassionate face now bearing an unnatural expression. He said in a sinister tone, "Young people just lack self-control. Fine, let me bear the crisis brought by these many Supreme Treasure for you!"
Waaaaah
At the same time, his divine Divine Power surged continuously, his aura soared wildly, and gusts of yin wind constantly swept around him.
The Youmo Country Lord immediately unleashed his Divine Power upon entering the fray. Having witnessed Zhang Junbao's previous battle, he dared not be careless now.
A massive wind scythe appeared in his hand, and at the junction of the huge scythe blade and the handle, the head of a Demon Race beast was embedded, making it look extremely terrifying.
The Youmo Country Lord swung his wind scythe, creating a massive Half Moon black slash that completely enveloped Zhang Junbao and even swept across millions of kilometers of void. Countless black void cracks crawled across the entire Killing Space, as if demonstrating the terrifying power of this ancient Universe Country Lord to everyone watching the battle.
" Aurora King, I burn my Divine Power and unleash my ultimate power. This Supreme Treasure was forged by me and ten other Universe Venerable when we killed a Special Lifeform that controlled the Law of Wind. It is called the ' Soul-Slaying Scythe ' and has the unique effect of annihilating souls."
With the power I'm unleashing now, at least two hundred million times the World Lord Power, even your Beast God Phantom would be absolutely unable to withstand it!
The voice of the Youmo Country Lord echoed, as Youmo as his title suggested.
"Possessing a wind-attribute Supreme Treasure capable of Soul Attack and annihilation? That's rather rare. But you haven't forgotten, have you? I'm Treasure Refiner!"
Zhang Junbao's calm voice rang out. This amount of Soul Attack and pressure was far inferior to that of the Barking Mirror King, who had absorbed the World Beast Blood, and could not shake Zhang Junbao at all.
" The Universe Laws, though ever-changing, remain fundamentally the same. No matter how you change, it's merely an extension of these basic Law. Understanding the origin is the key to mastering all changes!"
"You've only grasped a sliver of the secrets of the Fusion Law the Law of Wind and Time Law, yet you think you're invincible in the universe? You're truly a frog in a well!"
" Youmo Country Lord, in terms of demonic energy, you are no match for me!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Junbao's aura shifted dramatically. From his initial refined and peaceful demeanor, he seemed to have fallen into hell, exuding a deep aura of death that was a hundred times more terrifying than that of the Youmo Country Lord.
Zhang Junbao struck out with his palm, and countless withered trees sprang up behind him. Although deathly energy permeated the area, it gave people the illusion of boundless vitality.
This special power, imbued with the force of life and death, rapidly spread throughout the entire space. The slash unleashed by the Youmo Country Lord was instantly shattered when it met the Kumu of life and death that Zhang Junbao had struck out.
"What kind of secret technique is this?"
The Youmo Country Lord, seeing the Kumu relentlessly creeping towards him, dared not touch them and constantly Teleportation away into the distance.
His face was filled with terror; just a moment ago, he had felt the threat of death.
It was a terrifying annihilation power that far surpassed his Youmo Secret Technique. The only thing that could be sensed was the endless expanse of time contained within those Kumu, as if it could erase the years and age all things.
The Universe Venerable possessed eternal life, but at that moment, the Youmo Country Lord suddenly felt the end of endless life. A terrifying voice kept warning him from the depths of his soul that once he touched those Kumu, his lifespan would quickly end. Even the Universe Venerable, who possessed eternal life, would eventually turn into a handful of dust.
"Hmm? I can see traces of the Law of Wood and the Time Law in this secret technique, but why would these two Law appear in the same secret technique?" The Lord Qingdong narrowed his eyes slightly. In his opinion, the previous battle was nothing more than children fighting, and there was nothing interesting about it.
But when Zhang Junbao struck out with his palm, countless Kumu trees carrying an aura of desolation and annihilation sprang up. That aura of death was definitely not as simple as annihilating a divine body or soul; even he, the Universe Master, could not quite understand it.
How could it be that an Immortal God, the Universe Master, couldn't understand a secret technique he had comprehended?
In fact, not only the Lord Qingdong, but also the other Universe Master present were astonished.
" The Law of Wood is Lower Laws of the Space Law. How could it possibly merge with the Time Law to create a secret technique?" Lord Huang Jian looked at Chaos City Lord and asked in confusion.
"I've never seen this secret technique before. Of the Ten Great Laws, only my teacher has ever truly mastered it." The Chaos City Lord shook his head, his expression extremely serious.
Zhang Junbao's secret technique actually stumped many Universe Master.
" Giant Axe?"
The Chaos City Lord looked at the Giant Axe Founder, but the Giant Axe ignored him and stared intently at Zhang Junbao, seemingly trying to glean some insight from his secret technique.
"This..."
Seeing this, the other powerful individuals all wisely shut their mouths.
Upon seeing Zhang Junbao's secret technique, Giant Axe suddenly entered a state of enlightenment, something no one could have predicted.
Although they didn't know what the Giant Axe had seen, it was definitely no ordinary thing that could make the Giant Axe, the Universe Supreme Master, feel something.
" Luanshen, can you tell what secret technique Junbao is using?" the Chaos City Lord asked privately via telepathy.
"I can see that this is a secret technique resulting from the fusion of the Law of Wood and the Time Law, and it's not just a simple mystery of Time Acceleration or Time Deceleration, but Law far more terrifying—the past and the future."
"We, the Universe Master, are able to Reverse Time and Space and resurrect life because we have mastered the Time Law, allowing us to forcibly reverse time at a specific point in time. Junbao's secret technique feels very similar to controlling time, but after being fused with the Law of Wood, it has produced unexpected effects."
"This Kumu Secret Technique, though seemingly lifeless, possesses endless vitality; it is a complete contradiction. I once learned about the True Meaning of Taiji practiced by Junbao on Earth, and it seems that the Path of Taiji he cultivates excels at controlling these extreme opposing forces."
"Look closely, the Wind Scythe, the Supreme Treasure in the hands of the Youmo Country Lord, seems to have undergone some changes."
Reminded by the Demon Lord Luan Shen, the Chaos City Lord also noticed the Wind Scythe Supreme Treasure, in the hands of the Youmo Country Lord.
The Wind Supreme Treasure, originally inlaid with the skull of Special Lifeform form, should have been Eternal Undying existence. However, now, this Supreme Treasure seems to have greatly diminished its power after countless years.
"Even the time of Supreme Treasure can be accelerated? Even after hundreds of millions of epochs, the power of Supreme Treasure only weakens slightly, but after coming into contact with the Kumu of the Junbao, it rapidly decayed. Doesn't that mean that Ordinary Supreme Treasure don't even have the right to exist in front of it?"
Meanwhile, somewhere on the Outer Domain Battlefield, a human adventure team was hiding inside a mountain, intently watching the live broadcast of the battle.
"Captain Blood God, can Aurora King really defeat the Universe Venerable? I feel like I'm dreaming."
" Kumu, you've asked this hundreds of times. It's true, and he even defeated twelve Universe Venerable in succession!"
"Haha, this is our former teammate."
"If our captain hadn't been recruited by the Chaos City Lord and become a key talent under his wing, we wouldn't have had the chance to witness his gambling match!"
" Aurora King, our former teammate Taiji is actually able to fight Universe Venerable! I've only just broken through to the Immortal God!" Kumu, the teammate who once gifted Zhang Junbao a secret technique called " Withering of Wood," said with a proud expression.
"Back then, Aurora King was besieged in the Central Star Core, but unfortunately, our strength was too weak, and we had no way to provide support. How long has it been, and he has even managed to kill Universe Venerable!"
"Wait a minute, look at Aurora King's secret technique, how come it looks so similar to yours, Kumu?"
At this moment, under Zhang Junbao's control, a large number of withered Kumu seemed to transform into a zombie army, frantically chasing after the Youmo Country Lord.
The Youmo Country Lord's face was extremely ugly. Every time he was touched by the Kumu, he felt as if a large part of his divine body was being annihilated.
"Not only is the divine body annihilated, but even the soul is corrupted. What kind of bizarre secret technique is this?"
The current Youmo Country Lord no longer has time to ponder the level of Zhang Junbao's secret technique; he's nearly driven mad.
Instead of killing him in one move, Zhang Junbao toyed with him and kept driving him away.
"Isn't it said that Aurora King is skilled in the Path of the Beast God? He used the Path of the Beast God to deal with other Universe Venerable before, so why is it different when it comes to me?" The Youmo Country Lord was on the verge of tears. He had also tried to fight back against Zhang Junbao's attack.
But after just a light touch, his divine body was inexplicably annihilated. How could the Youmo Country Lord dare to have any more contact with Zhang Junbao?
"My arcane attacks are instantly neutralized by those Kumu. Arcane attacks are ineffective, and melee attacks can't even touch them. How am I supposed to fight this?"
The Youmo Country Lord was extremely frustrated, yet there was nothing he could do.
"He... he really succeeded. This is ' The Withering and Flourishing of Wood,' this is the true terrifying power of the Withering and Flourishing of Wood. Even Universe Venerable would be powerless against him!"
"This path is feasible, hahaha!" Kumu laughed wildly, but his teammates didn't laugh at him; instead, they were happy for him.
Only they knew how much effort Kumu had put into this secret method. Only now, after Zhang Junbao showed him the complete method, did he realize that the path he had chosen was correct.
The Youmo Country Lord has also gone mad; he has been driven completely insane by his own actions.
"Demonic winds protect me! I am the Undying and indestructible Universe Venerable!" The Youmo Country Lord roared madly. He no longer cared about anything else. Rather than have his divine body consumed by Zhang Junbao, he would rather burn it himself to gain even more terrifying power.
But Zhang Junbao didn't give him any chance at all, and didn't engage him in close combat.
Countless Kumu surrounded the Youmo Country Lord.
"Break!"
The Youmo Country Lord roared repeatedly, trying to completely eradicate the Kumu. But no matter how he wielded his Supreme Treasure Wind Scythe, it was all in vain.
"What kind of secret technique is this? The Law of Wood? The Time Law? How could they be fused together? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Could it be a secret technique at the level of Universe Master?
The Youmo Country Lord's eyes flashed with a scarlet light; his mind had collapsed as too many incomprehensible things overwhelmed him.
Click
The Youmo Country Lord discovered that one of his legs had been touched by Kumu at some point and completely assimilated, turning into a piece of rotten wood. With the slightest force, it crumbled into powder.
Next came the other leg, then the upper body, and then both arms. Under the impact of the terrifying, withering power, the demonic wind on his body dissipated continuously, and finally collapsed.
In the end, this great Universe Country Lord transformed into a single tree among the vast expanse of withered Kumu, and with a gust of wind, he was completely reduced to cosmic dust.
Breath fades, life perishes.
Inside the Hall of Gods, the Youmo Country Lord's face was ashen and extremely unsightly.
In the previous battle, he exerted all his strength, even burning his Divine Power completely at the last moment, but he still lost.
The defeat was utterly predictable and completely shattered his confidence.
This was based on a divine body in reality. Zhang Junbao didn't use Supreme Treasure at all. Before the bet, he absolutely didn't believe he would lose.
But he didn't even get to touch Zhang Junbao's body. He was suppressed and tortured from beginning to end, just like a pitiful mouse being toyed with by a cat.
"What exactly is this secret technique?" The Youmo Country Lord raised his head and looked at the Chaos City Lord.
The other Universe Venerable also looked over, completely baffled by Zhang Junbao's combat power. They could only hope that the Lord of Chaos City Lord and other Universe Master lords could provide an explanation.
Those High Venerable had applied for the betting battle were all deathly pale. How unbearable it must have been for them to personally hand over such a Supreme Treasure!
Millions of years of hard work, but one wrong move can lead to total defeat.
" Zhang Junbao is a peerless genius, a rare find in countless epochs of our Human Race!" The voice of the Chaos City Lord echoed from the endless sky, majestic yet indifferent, praising without reservation, "Our race's Universe Master has the right to recommend genius powerhouses to enter the Supreme Council."
This is both a right and a responsibility; there is absolutely no intention to show favoritism!
The Chaos City Lord's words were merely stating a fact, but they also demonstrated to everyone how foolish those who had previously doubted his decision to appoint Zhang Junbao as the Universe Overlord were.
"One of the most important criteria for judging geniuses among our Human Race is comprehension! Aurora King Zhang Junbao has heaven-defying comprehension. His understanding of the Origin of Laws far surpasses that of ordinary geniuses. Even I have been inspired by him."
Looking across the entire universe, among his contemporaries, which group of geniuses could compare to him? In fact, since the beginning of the universe, there have been very few who could rival him!
"At the World Lord level, he achieved a million consecutive victories within the Ancestral God Sect, rendering Alien Race geniuses and powerhouses afraid to even raise their heads, and earning a staggering million Glory Points. Who else could do that?"
"However, the Beast God Inheritance was merely a reference he used to comprehend his own Law. His achievements in the Path of the Beast God alone are unmatched by you, so what challenge do you have?"
In just tens of thousands of years, the Alien Race Immortal have been suppressed to the point of silence, the Alien Race Venerable are extremely wary of him, and the Alien Race Universe Master regard him as a thorn in their side. None of you have considered these things!
The Chaos City Lord was clearing Zhang Junbao's name, listing all the honors that had been overlooked by the Universe Venerable, letting these high-ranking humans know exactly what contributions he had made to the race.
The fact that the Alien Race Venerable were extremely wary of him only proved that Zhang Junbao posed a threat to them.
Despite being far inferior to Divine Power, the unique secret technique was incredibly powerful.
"A secret technique at the level of Universe Master? Peak Secret Technique? Or Ultimate Secret Technique?" The Youmo Country Lord muttered to himself, unable to comprehend it.
The Chaos City Lord did not answer.
None of the Universe Master answered him, because even they didn't know what level Zhang Junbao's secret technique was at.
The Fusion Secret Technique the Law of Wood and the Time Law continues to shake the worldviews of the Universe Master.
The Universe Overlord also fell silent, their faces grim.
Could they withstand such a high level of secret technique?
The way the Youmo Country Lord died was too humiliating.
On the grassland, a second High Venerable appeared.
" The Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable!" Zhang Junbao looked at the person who had appeared, who was none other than the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable, who had opposed him along with the Youmo Country Lord.
"I cultivate the Path of the Beast God. I don't believe that with just tens of thousands of years of cultivation, you can surpass me in the Path of the Beast God! Come, let's settle this with the Path of the Beast God!" The Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable roared incessantly, transforming into Beast God Phantom, completely engulfed in madness.
In the madness and destruction of the extreme, the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable had given up thinking and surrendered everything to the Path of the Beast God.
Only by using this method to awaken his own understanding of the Heart of the Beast God could he have a sliver of a chance to defeat Zhang Junbao.
"You haven't even grasped the Heart of the Beast God, yet you dare to unleash the Path of the Beast God in front of me?" Zhang Junbao's lips curled slightly as he shook his head and laughed.
In his eyes, having comprehended the Heart of the Beast God, all the secret techniques of the Path of the Beast God were riddled with flaws. Without comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, one could not fully align with the Path of the Beast God, and the secret techniques comprehended in this way were extremely unnatural and discordant in Zhang Junbao's view.
Even if such a secret technique is extremely powerful, it cannot harm him.
Before comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, all practitioners of the Path of the Beast God are merely imitators, not the Beast God himself.
" Ten Thousand Beasts Stampede!"
With a roar, the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable knew that hesitation would mean instant death, so he didn't pay much attention and transformed into countless phantom beasts, rushing towards Zhang Junbao.
In that instant, he burned his divine Divine Power, condensing it into a single, Void Divine Power, and unleashed his most powerful Soul Attack technique.
In reality, the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable wouldn't dare use such a suicidal technique, but this is Virtual Universe Network, so even if he dies with Zhang Junbao, he'll still come out ahead.
" Ten Thousand Beasts Stampede? It's just an illusion. So, they were planning to attack my soul directly!" Zhang Junbao saw through the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable's intentions at a glance.
In the Virtual Universe Network, Zhang Junbao lacked Soul Defense Supreme Treasure; his soul was indeed his greatest weakness.
But all of this is based on the premise that the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable can break through his Soul Defense Secret Technique.
"You've probably forgotten, but I initially cultivated the Law of Light. The Light Beast God excels precisely in the Soul Secret Technique!"
He extended one hand forward, spreading his five fingers to grasp at the air, and a huge Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared before him. The secret patterns corresponding to the Law of Light flickered, illuminating a beam of white light.
A gigantic Light Beast God appeared before everyone. Most remarkably, the Light Beast God's single horn seemed to be a physical entity, radiating a seven-colored light.
The Light Beast God is arguably the Beast God that Zhang Junbao is most familiar with.
From the moment he first entered the secret realm for training on Viska Star, he forged an indissoluble bond with the Light Beast God.
The Ancestral God's Spiritual Acupuncture, the Secret Technique of Doppelgangers, and the Heart of the Light Beast God—a supreme treasure for soul defense—all belong to the Light Beast God.
The Soul Attack Secret Technique unleashed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable transformed into a giant black dragon, rushing towards us with a world-destroying force.
However, a hint of human disdain flashed in the eyes of the Light Beast God covering Zhang Junbao.
Faced with the menacing black dragon, the Light Beast God extended a front paw and unceremoniously pinned the Black Dragon to its ground.
No matter how the black dragon struggled, it was all in vain. Compared to the Light Beast God, its size was like that of a small mudfish, unable to cause the slightest disturbance.
Smack
The black dragon's body shattered, annihilating along with the divine body of the Ten Thousand Beasts Venerable in the distance.
Annihilated in one move, not even a ripple could be made.
Inside the Hall of Gods, everyone was stunned.
"Another secret technique at the level of Universe Master?"
"He has transformed into the Light Beast God, and this is no longer an illusion; it is like the Beast God himself, definitely reaching the fifth or even sixth level. Just how far has his inheritance of the Path of the Beast God reached?"
"How far has he progressed on the Path of the Beast God? Such a terrifying secret technique is merely a secondary Law he cultivates?"
"He could clearly have reached the Venerable through the Path of the Beast God, so why did he choose to cultivate other paths of Law? Such a terrifying Path of the Beast God could very well allow him to become the Universe Master through the Path of the Light Beast God, and become the new Light Beast God!"
Inside the Hall of Gods, Jiu Feng Venerable also cultivated the Path of the Beast God, looked puzzled. He was the one who received Zhang Junbao when he entered the Ancestral God Sect.
How much time has passed? Zhang Junbao's achievements in the Path of the Beast God are more than enough to easily crush him. He's Universe Overlord!
"Could it be that he has comprehended the Heart of the Beast God? How could an Immortal possibly comprehend the most difficult Path of the Beast God —the Heart of the Beast God, which is the final test to become a true Beast God!"
"Why isn't this the Law he's best at? What exactly is he good at?"
The powerful figures in the Hall of Gods were at a loss for words to describe their feelings. At this moment, countless thoughts in their hearts were reduced to just two words.
Holy crap!
If they had studied the Earth Huaxia Language.
Zhang Junbao's performance was truly amazing; even the Universe Master felt a sense of pressure.
" Giant Axe, I suggest that the Aurora King cultivate to at least the level of Universe Venerable within the clan. We absolutely cannot give any chance to the Alien Race!"
"I agree with Lord Qingdong's statement. Aurora King's expression is too dazzling. The news of the battle has probably already reached the ears of the Alien Race Universe Master. They will definitely not let go of any opportunity to kill Aurora King, and may even have their Universe Master take action personally," Lord Huang Jian also said.
" Chaos, Aurora King is your disciple, what do you think?" Giant Axe asked Chaos City Lord.
"I respect his opinion. In fact, I have always given him limited guidance. Most of the time, Junbao has been practicing on his own."
"It's inevitable that powerful Alien Race races will hunt him down, but we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater and confine him to his own kind. While that would protect him, it might also waste his talent," said the Chaos City Lord.
" Chaos, such a genius, even if his cultivation is a bit slow, we hope he can grow safely to the point where he can stand on his own, rather than be assassinated by the Alien Race at a young age."
"I've discussed this issue with him before. Junbao doesn't want to be trapped within the clan. The only solution now is for us to protect him secretly. The clan hasn't offered him any help since he started growing up, so now is the best time for the clan to shelter him from the storm," said the Chaos City Lord.
"Let me do it. I have a close relationship with Junbao, and you all know about my Innate Secret Technique. I'm not afraid of being discovered by other Universe Master, so I'm the most suitable," said the Demon Lord Luan Shen, standing up.
"Very well, the secret method of the Luanshen is indeed suitable, then you shall protect it."
No one knew that in that short period of time, humanity's top powerhouse had made a momentous decision.
Within the Killing Space, Zhang Junbao annihilated eighty-four High Universe Venerable, bringing the battle to its climax.
They were all killed in one move; no one could force Zhang Junbao to use a second move, not a single one.
This overwhelming power was so great that even the Universe Master were extremely shocked and eagerly anticipated his next move.
And Zhang Junbao finally encountered his first Universe Overlord.
