A figure appeared before Zhang Junbao. He was wearing very strange armor, which did not seem to be armor in the ordinary sense, but rather it was woven from a large number of dense vines.
Countless vines wrapped around his body like silk, and his eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light, making him appear extremely terrifying.
Zhang Junbao felt as if an endless nightmare was assaulting him the moment he met his gaze.
Numerous demons roared, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse, determined to completely devour Zhang Junbao's soul.
" Undying Venerable, this test was rather lacking!"
Zhang Junbao smiled, and a light emanated from his body. All the demons from hell shattered and dissolved instantly, disappearing without a trace.
"Wow wow wow wow"
A piercing, eerie laugh echoed in the distance, sounding like glass being shattered or steel being scratched, sending shivers down one's spine.
"As expected of the Aurora King, such terrifying soul defense ability is truly rare." Countless vines gradually formed a human figure, creating a bizarre silhouette, its purple lips emitting a horrifying laugh.
Even across the Virtual Universe, the assembled geniuses were completely mesmerized.
" Aurora King, your will is truly terrifying!"
"Your illusion is not bad, but it's a bit lacking compared to the Illusion Heart King!"
Upon hearing Zhang Junbao belittle his illusion techniques, the Undying Venerable narrowed his eyes, revealing a gloomy expression.
"I know that Illusion Heart King is your friend, but you are just an Immortal God. Do you think you are worthy to compete with me in the realm of illusion?"
"I'm not talking about the strength of Divine Power, but the creativity of the illusion. Forgive my bluntness, but if the Illusion Heart King's Divine Power is comparable to yours, your illusion is really not up to par!" Zhang Junbao spoke the truth. Hong's talent in illusions had begun to gradually emerge, and after receiving the Beast God Inheritance, he had even forged a unique path.
"Gagaga"
The Undying Venerable laughed, his laughter sounding like a hoarse crow.
"Everyone says that geniuses from Earth are exceptionally talented and incredibly arrogant; seeing it today, I can confirm it!"
"With the same Divine Power, how could Illusion Heart King surpass me? Unfortunately, I am now the Universe Overlord, while he is merely a World Lord. I can easily crush him; that's the truth!"
"You too, Aurora King. Your talent is truly remarkable, capable of defeating dozens of High Venerable in succession. Your Kumu Secret Technique earlier particularly impressed me; I just wonder which is superior, your Undying Secret Technique or my technique!"
The Undying Venerable extended his scarlet tongue and licked his lips. Tens of thousands of dense vines on his body swayed continuously, like Bloodthirsty venomous snakes, ready to strike at any moment.
" Undying Venerable, you have pushed the life force of the Law of Wood to its limit, and you have forged a unique path. It is a pity that you have only comprehended one aspect of the Dao of Life and Destruction, and it is ultimately incomplete."
My secret technique, " The Withering and Flourishing of Wood," though lacking in profound understanding, combines the forces of birth and death to form the complete Path of Life.
In the universe, nothing Undying immortal; Destruction is also a form of rebirth.
"It's terrifying. To have reached such a level of understanding of the Universe Origin at the Immortal Realm is truly something to look forward to."
I chose to wager not for the Supreme Treasure, but to see just how powerful you, hailed as the greatest genius of Human Race, truly are.
Zhang Junbao looked at the Undying Venerable in front of him with a strange expression. Logically speaking, as a high-ranking member of the Giant Axe Arena, he should know that Hong, Thunder God, and the others had a close relationship with him, and Giant Axe paid special attention to him. The Undying Venerable couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
However, the Undying Venerable was eccentric and capricious, and since he wasn't actually opposing Zhang Junbao in reality, the Giant Axe wouldn't do anything to him.
Just out of curiosity, he gambled away hundreds of Supreme Treasure Point. He's incredibly extravagant, with money to burn.
" Undying Venerable, since you're willing to gamble hundreds of Supreme Treasure Point, how about I let you experience death?" Zhang Junbao said.
"Oh? Interesting, very interesting indeed! I have traversed the universe for billions of epochs and seen countless geniuses and powerful beings. Even when facing the Universe Master, I am confident of escape. Now you, a junior, say you want me to experience the feeling of death? Do you really think that the Universe Overlord of our race are all fake?" The Undying Venerable laughed instead of getting angry, as if Zhang Junbao had told a huge joke.
"My Undying Secret Technique is Peak Secret Technique of the Universe Master. Even if you are an extremely talented genius, could you possibly comprehend the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Master?"
A hint of impatience appeared in the eyes of the Undying Venerable. His Divine Power began to burn wildly, and countless vines around him twisted and shot towards Zhang Junbao.
"Die!"
Rumble
The void shattered, and endless destructive power arrived in an instant.
As soon as the Undying Venerable finished speaking, he unleashed all his power. All his Divine Power burned, and his divine might surged, sweeping across a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers.
The void within the Killing Space could not withstand this immense divine Divine Power, cracking and shattering, and the earth was dismembered into countless fragmented meteorites.
The once lush green grass instantly turned into withered, dead ashes, disintegrating and breaking into cosmic dust under the influence of spatial forces.
This terrifying destructive power enveloped Zhang Junbao completely in an instant.
"Burning their full Divine Power, with no life-or-death threats in the Virtual Universe, they're all unleashing their strongest abilities right from the start—they're really showing no mercy!"
Zhang Junbao shook his head, and a huge Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared behind him.
He is capable of using Supreme Treasure when facing Universe Overlord.
The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation was activated instantly, controlling the surrounding spacetime and forcefully blocking the Undying Venerable's annihilating power outside the domain.
"My Law Domain couldn't even break through his defense! This is the power to Control of Space-Time and time that only Universe Master possesses!" The Undying Venerable's eyes widened, his pupils flashing with green light, and he was Extreme Point excited.
"Rumor has it that the Aurora King possesses the ' Control of Space-Time ' that only the Universe Master has, and it's actually true! Hahaha, I made the right choice in this bet!"
So what if Control of Space-Time and time? Even if I face the true Universe Master, I still have the power to fight!
"Undying and indestructible, all things perish, only I am Undying!"
With a roar, the Undying Venerable unleashed a ghostly green light that corroded everything. Its extreme destructive power constantly clashed with Zhang Junbao's Control of Space-Time, even invading his own space-time.
For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
"That Supreme Treasure is the legendary Domain-type Supreme Treasure of the Aurora King. Its terrifying power can even be combined with his secret techniques. It is definitely not as simple as an ordinary Domain-type Supreme Treasure!" As an ancient Universe Overlord, the Undying Venerable's strength is close to that of Top Overlord. Ordinary Domain-type Supreme Treasure are not insurmountable for him.
But now, Zhang Junbao's secret techniques and Domain-type Supreme Treasure actually managed to withstand his attacks.
"My ultimate offensive Supreme Treasure, the ' Indestructible Ancient Tree,' couldn't even break through his domain. This Supreme Treasure is at least at the High-grade Domain-type Supreme Treasure level, or even higher!"
The moment they made contact, the Undying Venerable realized that he was completely outmatched by Zhang Junbao in terms of Supreme Treasure.
"No wonder you dared to challenge a host of Universe Overlord with your Immortal realm! You think you can block my attack with just your Supreme Treasure? Can't even I force you to use your Strongest Secret Technique?"
From within the eerie light came the Undying Venerable's unwilling voice, tinged with a hint of madness.
As Universe Overlord, a being close to the Top Overlord, it was simply unbelievable that he would burn his Divine Power and use his Strongest Secret Technique right from the start. For such an arrogant Universe Overlord who could Undying even when facing the Universe Master.
In battles between Universe Overlord, basic methods like Space Lockdown and Space Strangulation are completely ineffective. They rely on secret techniques they have comprehended themselves, Ultimate Secret Technique Universe Overlord, and even Peak Secret Technique of Universe Master.
In reality, only the Universe Master can force them to unleash their full power.
It is actually very difficult for an ordinary Universe Master to kill a Universe Overlord; this is the power of Universe Overlord.
However, at this moment, the proud Undying Venerable was repeatedly struck down.
" Undying Venerable, your secret techniques are very powerful, but your understanding of the universe is too limited."
As a strong person, one needs to broaden one's perspective.
"The pursuit of Undying is nothing more than self-comfort for the weak," Zhang Junbao said calmly.
"The strong, even amidst the chaos of the universe, should wield a three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled feats!"
Then the Undying Venerable saw Zhang Junbao strike out with both hands, and eight enormous phantom Beast God Phantom appeared behind him. The pressure exerted by each of them was no weaker than that of the previously appeared Light Beast God.
"The illusory figures of the Eight Beast Gods... He has deduced the Eight Beast God Paths to such a terrifying degree? Is this the terrifying progress brought about by millions of Glory Points and tens of thousands of inheritance insights?"
The Eight Beast Gods surrounded the Undying Venerable, who was now like a Undying Venerable to the slaughter.
" The Path of the Beast God, this is the true Path of the Beast God! When will my Gold Beast God be able to compare with Junbao's Beast God? Is this the level he spoke of, the level one can reach after comprehending the ' Heart of the Beast God '?"
Within the ancient ship Galaxy, Luo Feng separated a wisp of his consciousness to observe the battle. When he saw the Eight Beast Gods appear beside Zhang Junbao, he realized that his understanding of the Path of the Beast God was still so shallow.
"This... this is your Strongest Secret Technique? The Eight Beast God Paths! You can completely rely on the Path of the Beast God to reach the level of the Universe Master!" The Undying Venerable felt the terrifying Beast God will on the Eight Beast Gods, something he had only experienced on a true Beast God.
In other words, the Eight Beast Gods that Zhang Junbao conjured were already quite similar to the real Beast God.
"I've said it before, your perspective is too narrow. The Path of the Beast God is merely a manifestation of one of the Ten Great Laws of the Universe Origin."
"Any Path of the Beast God, while representing an ultimate Fusion Law, also means that it is incomplete."
"Complete? The mysteries of the Universe Origin are countless. Who can comprehend the complete? Even just one Law has stumped billions of powerful beings. You have exceptional talent, but if you want to comprehend all the Law on your own, I fear you will ultimately fail!" The Undying Venerable said unwillingly.
" The Universe Origin is one, but you insist on separating a Law into its own. It may be easy to understand at first, but it becomes more and more difficult as you go on."
With each level of skill improvement, the difficulty increases ten thousandfold.
"Little did they know that only by understanding the connections between the Origin Law can they mutually promote and enhance each other, and truly comprehend the mysteries of the origin."
" The Giant Axe, is what Zhang Junbao said true?"
Zhang Junbao's words caused a great stir in the Hall of Gods, because he raised a question that many powerful figures knew but chose to ignore: Should a powerful figure specialize in one path, or should they advance through all the Law simultaneously?
Most cultivators in the universe choose to specialize in one Law, since just one law is enough to consume their entire lives, leaving them with no time to cultivate other Law.
However, Zhang Junbao's situation made the higher-ups in humanity begin to ponder: is this method of cultivation truly effective against the enemy?
Why is it that Aurora King Zhang Junbao, who cultivates Ten Great Laws simultaneously, can achieve a faster cultivation speed than those who specialize in only one law?
That's not scientific!
"What Zhang Junbao said is both right and wrong!" the Giant Axe said slowly.
"When I broke through to Universe Supreme Master, I did have a realization that I needed to supplement my Law Comprehension before I could advance to a higher level."
"This..."
The Universe Master present were all shocked. How could Zhang Junbao, an Immortal God, reveal the secret of the Universe Supreme Master's advancement?
"However, if I had started by cultivating all the Law, I wouldn't have reached the level of the strongest!"
The Giant Axe spoke for everyone.
That's right, perhaps practicing Ten Great Laws together is the most correct path, but how many people can actually do it?
Even these super-powerful beings who have already achieved the status of Universe Master cannot guarantee that they could have become Universe Master if they had chosen to cultivate the Ten Great Laws simultaneously at the very beginning of their cultivation. How much less could others?
This method is practically reserved for the most exceptional geniuses.
Humanity's Universe Master suddenly discovered that they were nothing more than mediocre individuals?
"Whether one specializes in one law or explores all Law depends on the individual. Everyone has their own suitable Law of cultivation; there's no need to pursue someone else's method."
Seeing that the Universe Master were all deep in thought, the Giant Axe spoke up.
However, the subtext of these words is that even if you were asked to learn from Zhang Junbao, you wouldn't be able to; that's a talent reserved for geniuses. Just stick to your own path.
Compared to these Universe Master, the Undying Venerable is the most frustrated one.
He was taught a lesson by Zhang Junbao, ruthlessly crushed by a junior who was many eras younger than him. When the Eight Beast Gods joined forces to attack and tore his Undying vines to shreds, he realized how ridiculous his pursuit of Undying was.
The attacks of the Eight Beast Gods were like eight sharp blades, dismantling the Undying Venerable's secret techniques one by one. No matter how powerful the secret techniques were, they could not escape the foundation of the Ten Great Laws.
The vines shattered, Undying Venerable died!
Zhang Junbao wins again!
