" Zhang Junbao?" The Undying Venerable was stunned for a moment. He recalled that when his will collapsed, it seemed that a force had explained the true mystery of the Undying Secret Technique to him, allowing him to comprehend the origin of the transformation between life and death, thus enabling him to be resurrected.
Such an insight is even more difficult to achieve than Reverse Time and Space and being resurrected.
Reverse Time and Space pulls a powerful individual from a certain point in the past back to the present. Under the influence of the Universe Origin, they can quickly regain the strength they had before their fall.
However, most of their most Heavy Treasure and Supreme Treasure will be lost, and even some powerful inheritances may disappear.
It's not that it's impossible to bring them back to the present, but bringing a Heavy Treasure from the past back to the present would come at a price far greater than the Heavy Treasure, perhaps even more than ten times that price.
Unless a powerful being who Reverse Time and Space wants to test the strength of their divine body, they wouldn't deliberately bring back treasures.
Although the Undying Venerable did not Reverse Time and Space and resurrect, for him personally, it was not much different from dying and being resurrected. As his will collapsed, his soul was also rapidly dissipating. If Zhang Junbao had not intervened in time to help him stabilize his will, his demise would have been inevitable.
"I remember now. When my will collapsed, there was a power that transcended life and death, constantly surrounding me, as if guiding me. This is the true Path of Undying." The Undying Venerable recalled the previous scene, still deeply shocked.
His will was on the verge of extinction, but he was forcibly pulled back. It was this unique encounter that allowed him to comprehend the mystery of life and death, and to advance his Undying Secret Technique to the level of Peak Secret Technique of Universe Master. His strength also surged to the level of Top Universe Overlord, ranking alongside the Tian Shi Palace Master, the Star Prison Demon Lord, Ancestor Tree Venerable.
It's important to understand that while his previous strength was considered powerful among Universe Overlord, it was still significantly weaker than that of Top Universe Overlord. The fundamental difference lies in the fact that Top Universe Overlord have generally mastered Ultimate Secret Technique- level secret techniques of Universe Master, while his Undying Secret Technique is merely Peak Secret Technique of Universe Master.
The only difference between them and the true Universe Master is the ability to Control of Space-Time.
The Undying Venerable felt the immense power of his secret technique and realized that he had unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune, gaining a chance for rebirth. And this opportunity was given to him by Zhang Junbao, an Immortal God.
"That's right, the power you felt earlier that transcended life and death was Zhang Junbao's secret technique, ' The Withering and Flourishing of Wood '."
Your will collapsed, and even the Lord of Void Gold, the Chaos City Lord, and I were helpless. We could only let Zhang Junbao try, and unexpectedly, he actually saved you.
Not only did it preserve a Universe Overlord for the race, it even greatly increased your strength, bringing you to the level of Top Universe Overlord, hahaha.
The Primal Star is about to open, and with this new Top Universe Overlord, our Human Race might have a significant advantage in the upcoming Primal Star Wars.
" Undying, your becoming Top Universe Overlord still needs to be kept secret for now, as a unique tactic for our race to fight against Alien Race."
"Yes, I understand!" the Undying Venerable replied respectfully.
Being able to use this as a unique tactic against Alien Race races is, in essence, an acknowledgment of his strength. What ordinary Universe Overlord would warrant such a serious explanation from the Giant Axe? Far from being dissatisfied that his strength couldn't be fully displayed, the Undying Venerable was filled with gratitude.
Humanity has gained a Top Universe Overlord, a major event second only to the birth of Universe Master, and the Giant Axe is very pleased.
Unexpectedly, a betting war resulted in Human Race gaining a Top Universe Overlord for free, which can be considered an unexpected bonus.
Giant Axe looked at Zhang Junbao, his eyes filled with satisfaction. Zhang Junbao was like a lucky star for the Human Race, bringing great benefits to the race with every action he took.
If anyone dares to question Zhang Junbao again, Giant Axe will be the first to stand up and oppose him.
As for the Undying Venerable, he was constantly thanking Zhang Junbao, even promising to go through fire and water for Zhang Junbao should he be in any danger in the future.
"Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Junbao now has the support of another Top Universe Overlord. This is probably why a group of Universe Venerable were willing to lend him their Supreme Treasure during the gambling battle!"
The rise of a top genius, if it were merely an increase in his own strength, would be outstanding, but not enough to impress a powerhouse of the Giant Axe's caliber.
Zhang Junbao's rise was not a solitary act, but rather a result of his ability to lead a group of supporters and continuously increase his strength. Such a rising genius is the most terrifying; when he possesses top-tier strength, he is not a lone hero, but a leader with a formidable force behind him.
"After the Genius Battle, he led the geniuses of the same year to rise up without realizing it. Whether it was Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God Shen, my bloodline descendant Rong Jun, Prince Wuka of Manka Star, or the genius Bolan who appeared once every tens of millions of epochs, these people might have had good performances, but it was already very rare for a Universe Venerable to be born."
However, because of Zhang Junbao's appearance, Luo Feng now possesses the strength of Universe Venerable level. Although Hong and Thunder God Shen have not yet broken through to become Immortal God, their strength is comparable to the Peak King Rank, and they should not be underestimated. Even the other three have possessed the strength of Marquis Level during their World Lord period.
"Now that he has broken through, a group of Universe Venerable are willing to risk their lives to follow him. Whether it is Chaos's disciple Gui Yi or Iron Fire and others, their strength has improved much faster than before."
"How similar this scene is to the time when the Primal Original Ancestor rose to power!"
The Giant Axe gazed into the distance, towards the direction of Chaos City.
" The Human Race may soon see the birth of a second Original Ancestor."
Having made arrangements for the Undying Venerable, Zhang Junbao, led by the Lord of Void Gold, returned to Chaos City. However, this time, the Lord of Void Gold's attitude towards him was clearly different.
" Zhang Junbao, I never expected that you could actually revive the Undying Venerable even the Giant Axe couldn't handle. Chaos recommended you to the Supreme Council, placing you alongside the Universe Overlord. This is not favoritism, but rather a waste of your talent!" the Lord of Void Gold said with emotion.
"Even position doesn't really matter to me. What does it matter if I'm a hegemon or an ordinary Immortal? I'm still me, and I won't change anything because of a position."
"That's the best way to put it. I think no one in the clan dares to object to you now. So, should you cancel your duel with the Star Prison Demon Lord?"
"Cancel? Why cancel? I haven't faced Top Universe Overlord head-on yet. Rather than being bullied by a top-tier Alien Race Top Overlord on the Primal Star, I'd rather test the waters with my own Top Overlord first."
"Moreover, I heard that the Star Prison Demon Lord possesses a Supreme Treasure, which was forged by the Human Race after they killed the Gold Beast God the Blood Luo World, and it belongs to the Beast God Crystallization."
"Such Supreme Treasure is very much to my liking. I don't think the Star Prison Demon Lord would be stingy with a Supreme Treasure like this." Zhang Junbao smiled. He had already thoroughly investigated the Star Prison Demon Lord's information.
The Chaos City Lord once told him that after the Human Race obtained the essence of the Beast God of the Blood Luo World, they were able to refine Supreme Treasure.
That Supreme Treasure is in the hands of the Star Prison Demon Lord.
Zhang Junbao's True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword requires eight Beast God Crystallization Components to be restored to its peak condition. Currently, he has only collected the ' Beast God Guardian ' crafted from the Condensation of the Beast God of Thunder and the 'Beast Heart of the Beast God ' crafted from the Condensation of the Light Beast God.
The Supreme Treasure in the Star Domain Demon Lord's hand was a supreme artifact crafted by Ninghua, the Gold Beast God.
Even if the Star Prison Demon Lord doesn't wager a battle with him, Zhang Junbao will eventually come after him.
"You're destined to have the Star Prison Demon Lord's Supreme Treasure?" The Lord of Void Gold looked at Zhang Junbao with a strange expression, as this was the first time he had heard of another powerful figure's Supreme Treasure being destined to be his.
If the Star Prison Demon Lord is defeated, then this Supreme Treasure will likely be difficult to preserve.
When Zhang Junbao's true form returned to Chaos City, and he re-entered the Hall of Gods, the way others looked at him was different.
It was publicly stated that Zhang Junbao was only assisting, and that the Undying Venerable only recovered thanks to the treatment of the Giant Axe, and still needed to rest.
Only the human Universe Master know the truth.
But seeing the Undying Venerable return to the Hall of Gods and look at Zhang Junbao with respect in his eyes, one knows that Zhang Junbao's role was probably quite significant.
"Gentlemen, the Primal Star will open in a year. Previously, due to special reasons, the wager between Zhang Junbao and the Star Prison Demon Lord was suspended. Now that Zhang Junbao has returned, do both sides wish to continue the wager?" The Chaos City Lord's magnificent voice resounded throughout the Hall of Gods.
This highly anticipated battle has been eagerly awaited; is it finally about to begin?
"Hehehe, I'm afraid no one questions Aurora King's strength now. But since this is a wager, as the Universe Overlord, we must keep our word and not give up halfway. I think we should continue. What do you think, Aurora King?" The Star Prison Demon Lord still had a sinister demonic aura. The previous battle had allowed him to see some clues about Zhang Junbao's strength. Although he was powerful, there was still a considerable gap between him and Zhang Junbao.
"Hahaha, if the Star Prison Demon Lord is interested, I will gladly risk my life to accompany him. However, if the Star Prison Demon Lord loses, I don't want the Supreme Treasure Point; I want your Top-tier Supreme Treasure War Blade!"
The Star Prison Demon Lord wagered a staggering 1,000 Supreme Treasure Point because he used the Supreme Treasure crafted from the Golden Beast God Crystallization as the stake in the battle.
This Supreme Treasure was forged from the horn of the Gold Beast God of the Blood Luo World, and the Star Prison Demon Lord added a large number of precious materials, thus elevating the Supreme Treasure War Blade to the level of Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
The Gold Beast God was originally an existence with incomparably powerful attack capabilities, and the Supreme Treasure forged from its single horn were extraordinary in power.
" Aurora King, you have guts! Even facing Top Universe Overlord like me, do you really think you can win?"
Although you can defeat ordinary Universe Overlord, the gap between Top Overlord and an ordinary overlord is even greater than the gap between Universe Overlord and King-level Immortal. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only three of us Top Overlord in the entire Human Race." The Star Prison Demon Lord's aura spread out, like an unparalleled demon lord ruling Purgatory. Ordinary Venerable didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"To comprehend the deepest Law and fight the strongest enemies has always been my lifelong pursuit. Not to mention Top Overlord, even if I face the Universe Master, I will not surrender."
"Star Prison Demon Lord, do you dare or not?" Zhang Junbao asked with a smile, completely ignoring the Star Prison Demon Lord's oppressive aura.
"Since you've chosen your own death, I'll grant your wish!"
A major battle between the two sides is imminent.
Two figures suddenly appeared within the special Killing Space.
The mere clash of their auras cleaved the surrounding void, countless black spatial rifts spreading like lightning across the point where their auras separated.
"I will go all out in this battle, don't blame me for showing you no mercy!" said the Star Prison Demon Lord.
As he said, he was going all out in this battle, even withdrawing his mental Clone from the Hall of Gods, treating Zhang Junbao as a top expert of the same level.
Although the Star Prison Demon Lord is usually arrogant, he becomes incredibly focused once he enters battle mode. He is a true born battle maniac, not only loving battle but also thoroughly enjoying it.
His opponents are often completely overwhelmed by the Star Prison Demon Lord's momentum even before the battle begins.
No matter how much pressure the Star Prison Demon Lord exerted, Zhang Junbao on the other side remained calm and composed, as if he wasn't the one releasing terrifying pressure.
"Will the Aurora King win?" A murmur rang out in the Hall of Gods, prompting everyone to ponder deeply.
No one can guarantee that the Star Prison Demon Lord will win, even if he is Top Universe Overlord.
"Teacher, can Junbao defeat the Star Prison Demon Lord?" Venerable Guiyi looked in the direction of the Chaos City Lord and asked with some worry.
He knew Zhang Junbao still had tricks up his sleeve, but his opponent was Top Universe Overlord, someone even he himself was slightly inferior to, let alone Zhang Junbao who had only cultivated for a few hundred thousand years.
"When have you ever seen him do anything he wasn't sure of?" The Chaos City Lord's words gave Venerable Guiyi great confidence.
Yes, when has Zhang Junbao ever done anything he wasn't sure about?
"I hope the Star Prison Demon Lord can force him to reveal some of his secrets. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Within the Killing Space, Zhang Junbao did not let his guard down when facing his final opponent. The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation had already been deployed behind him, and he held the True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword in his hand. In the Virtual Universe, he had already integrated two Beast God Crystallization into it, and its current power was comparable to Peak Supreme Treasure.
"You are a true genius, your talent is so great that it overshadows the universe!" The Star Prison Demon Lord looked at Zhang Junbao and praised him sincerely. "I have seen far too many geniuses. I was also a peerless genius, but I have been cultivating for billions of epochs, while you have only been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years."
Compared to you, I pale in comparison!
"In the past, I never believed that an Immortal God could put pressure on me, let alone stand before me and fight me."
"But now, Aurora King, you've done it. I even have a feeling that I might lose to you."
"This is simply unbelievable, you know? I haven't been this excited in a very, very long time!" As he spoke, the Star Prison Demon Lord's aura surged once again, and he became incredibly violent.
Madness, endless madness—that was Zhang Junbao's most immediate feeling.
The Star Prison Demon Lord did not underestimate him; instead, he used the pressure he brought to push himself to his limit.
This is an opponent who grows stronger with each challenge. Even the usually composed Zhang Junbao had to admit that the Star Prison Demon Lord had inadvertently stirred his fighting spirit.
boom
The Star Prison Demon Lord's figure vanished instantly, and the surrounding void shattered completely.
