" High-grade Supreme Treasure!" Zhang Junbao shook his head, reached out and grabbed the Dark Hidden Venerable's Supreme Treasure Armor.
These days, anything that he values must be at least Top-tier Supreme Treasure; anything of higher grade is not even worth his attention unless it has an extremely special purpose.
Now, with his ability to Origin Clone Universe, he is capable of nurturing High-grade Supreme Treasure. He is fully capable of mass-producing Supreme Treasure of this level.
Looking around, they saw more and more powerful figures gathering, but having witnessed what had just happened, none of them dared to approach. They only dared to rely on their numbers to follow from a distance.
"Still too few!" Zhang Junbao shook his head. "Most of those who reach the level of Universe Venerable are too afraid of death. They spend an extremely long time to reach that Universe Venerable, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of epochs. Such a long time, while giving them enough power to accumulate, also wears down their spirit of becoming strong."
"When a strong person advances, their mental state may seem unimportant, but that is not the case. Cultivation of Law, secret techniques, and even willpower all have absolute differences in strength, but mental state is the only exception. It is not true that the longer one cultivates one's mental state, the stronger one becomes."
Over time, with increased experience and knowledge, one becomes afraid of death. This is an instinct of all life, and a major reason why the strong are prevented from advancing.
Biyun and Feitian listened to Zhang Junbao's instructions, seemingly understanding but not quite. Compared to the Universe Venerable present, their cultivation time was not even a fraction of what it was.
"Master, there are now over eight thousand Universe Venerable gathered here, but they all seem afraid to approach," Biyun asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That's right, they're afraid. They're following me because they see enough temptation in me to entice them. Although there were rumors in the universe that I could kill Top Universe Overlord, in reality, there were still quite a few Universe Venerable didn't believe it."
There's nothing I can do; my cultivation period was too short, so short that they couldn't believe it.
But after that battle, where a Universe Overlord was easily annihilated, most Universe Venerable probably only now realize that the rumors might be true.
"But they have so many people, why don't they join forces?"
"For the sake of profit, these eight thousand-plus Universe Venerable, if they joined forces, could even kill Universe Master. But they are afraid, not only of me, but also of those around them."
With so many people joining forces, who will be the first to take the lead?
"If they join forces to attack, I will disregard everything and relentlessly kill the ringleaders. How many people can guarantee they will survive my attack?"
"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. To them, I am the Jianmu tree that breaks through the forest barrier. But anyone who dares to touch me will surely suffer my, or even the entire Human Race's, mad revenge."
They wanted the treasure, but they were afraid of being the first to stick their necks out. That's why I said that so many years of cultivation had actually dulled the sharpness of these Universe Venerable.
"Let's go! They won't dare to move until Top Universe Overlord, or even Universe Master, appears."
Despite being surrounded by many powerful figures, Zhang Junbao remained completely calm and composed, regarding all the world's strongmen as mere ants.
With each step he took forward, the powerful figures blocking his path would retreat a step.
Suddenly, a very unusual scene appeared on the Primal Star: with Zhang Junbao at the center, other Universe Venerable formed an encirclement with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers, but this encirclement was hollow, and no one dared to take a step closer.
"Such a terrifying sense of oppression, is this the work of Human Race's top geniuses?" Many ordinary Universe Venerable couldn't help but wonder.
"Wouldn't it be better for so many of us, Universe Venerable, to join forces and annihilate him, directly seizing the Supreme Treasure?"
"Go ahead and go. I'll keep all the treasures in your God Kingdom safe for you, especially your 108,000 beautiful women from various races. I'll take good care of them!"
"Bullshit! With thousands of Universe Venerable attacking together, do you think Aurora King could wipe us all out?"
"Whether he can kill them all is unknown, but I believe he will definitely kill you first. Wild Boar Venerable, have you been in your own God Kingdom for too long, and your brain is filled with pig feed?"
"If Aurora King were so easy to kill, do you think those top powers would have let him live until now?"
Many Universe Venerable had originally considered assassinating Zhang Junbao, but seeing that so many Universe Venerable had refrained from doing so, and that the Dark Hidden Venerable who had just gone up had been killed by Zhang Junbao in one move, who would dare to be the first to step forward?
"How boring. With this kind of mentality, they want to advance to the level of Universe Master? These people have already reached the Universe Venerable." Zhang Junbao glanced around and shook his head.
"I'm not playing with them anymore. When the Primal Star was first opened, the Universe Master took the initiative to descend and explore the entire Primal Star. He is not usually here."
They will only come when Supreme Treasure is born. According to the information given by the clan, it will take at least an hour for the Universe Master to arrive.
Biyun, before the Universe Master descends, prepare to advance to the Venerable level.
"Yes, Master!" Biyun replied excitedly.
The Universe Venerable is already considered an extremely powerful being in the entire universe; he could become a high-ranking figure in any power.
Her true form is merely a support plant Cloud-Touching Vine. Ninety-nine percent of Cloud-Touching Vine plants, throughout their entire lives, cannot break through the limits of Immortal God. Their breakthrough difficulty is even comparable to that of the Zerg Mother Emperor or even beings like the Starry Sky Behemoth.
However, after following Zhang Junbao, he has acquired countless treasures along the way, and now he has even killed Universe Venerable while still in the Immortal Realm. If he can break through to the Universe Venerable, his strength will surely approach the level of Top Universe Overlord.
"There are too few people here. Adding Luo Feng's group should be enough."
Zhang Junbao's figure blurred, and he flew rapidly towards Luo Feng's direction.
His speed was extremely fast, and he quickly exceeded the speed of light.
" The Aurora King is trying to escape! Chase after him! We can't let him get away!"
"Wow, that's fast!"
"We absolutely cannot lose him. This is a mission assigned from above. We must keep a close eye on the Aurora King. Even if we can't kill him, just reporting his whereabouts to the clan at all times will be a great achievement!"
"He can't escape! I received a message that another human genius, Daohe King Luo Feng, is also on this primordial star. He is likely trying to reunite with Daohe King."
But even if humanity's two top geniuses unite, so what? There are over eight thousand Universe Venerable watching him here, and on Blade River King's side, there are also over six thousand Universe Venerable.
Nearly 15,000 Universe Venerable, powerful figures from numerous cosmic forces joined forces to besiege and kill two Human Race geniuses. Such a spectacle might not be seen even in billions of epochs.
" Human Race's Universe Master is still being targeted by powerful races. They are either entangled in the conflict or prevented from descending upon the Primal Star in time."
How did they escape without the assistance of the Universe Master?
With just Aurora King and Blade River King, they think they can take on so many Universe Venerable together? Even if both of them could kill Top Universe Overlord, it would be absolutely impossible!
"Doesn't that mean they're doomed?!"
"Humanity's only Universe Supreme Master, Giant Axe, has already been targeted by the three Universe Supreme Master. Who do you think can save him?"
"Hehehe, this time, if they Undying, it will be an injustice."
"Humans are just an ordinary race, but the Aurora King, with his Immortal, was able to kill Top Universe Overlord, making him even more terrifying than unique Special Lifeform."
His life genes may be even higher than those of Innate Beast God.
I once witnessed the fall of Innate Beast God. Of the nine major powers in the universe, apart from the Ancestral God Sect, the other eight powers all sent powerful figures to join forces and kill the Innate Beast God.
"The powerful figures that Aurora King has now provoked even surpass those of the Innate Beast God. To enjoy treatment exceeding that of Universe Master while possessing the Immortal Realm—even death would be worthwhile."
"Hahaha, the flesh and bones of the Innate Beast God are all extraordinary materials that can be used to refine supreme Supreme Treasure and even help break through realms. I wonder if the flesh and bones of the Aurora King, after being annihilated, also have the same miraculous effect."
"I think it's very possible. Otherwise, how could an Immortal possibly kill Top Universe Overlord!"
"He was too outstanding, too monstrous, making all forces extremely wary. If he had kept a low profile, it would have been fine, but he offended all three major races. It is said that the Lord of Sky Wolf of the Demon Race would fly into a rage every time he heard the name of the Aurora King, vowing to kill him with his own hands."
Being targeted by the Universe Master, it would be one thing to stay quietly among the Human Race, but to dare to so openly search for treasure on Primal Star is simply courting death!
Many powerful figures discussed the matter at length. The reason they were able to back down and not provoke Zhang Junbao was simply because they all believed that Zhang Junbao was doomed.
An Immortal God, even with the strength of Top Universe Overlord, would perish if targeted by the Universe Master of various races, even if he were Innate Beast God!
The Universe Venerable on the other 10,080 Primal Star were in an uproar. In an instant, the spacetime tunnel was overflowing with people heading to Primal Star 02881 to witness the fall of two of humanity's greatest geniuses.
The Universe Venerable have three great joys on the Primal Star: the birth of Supreme Treasure, the rise of powerful beings, and the fall of geniuses.
Zhang Junbao alone dominated three major events.
News of him had already spread throughout the universe, and among the most crucial points were: firstly, the plant life forms beside Aurora King possessed the combat power of Universe Overlord, which was truly astonishing. It was one thing for him to be talented and strong, but for the plant life forms that accompanied him to also possess such terrifying power was highly unusual.
They had long known that Zhang Junbao's Auxiliary Lifeform, the Cloud-Touching Vine, had been with him since he entered the universe, and was not a special plant life form obtained from some Cosmic Secret Realm.
Such an ordinary life can actually reach such terrifying strength; perhaps Zhang Junbao possesses a special inheritance that can cultivate powerful individuals.
They realized that the people around Zhang Junbao were all rising to prominence and would be top geniuses in any era.
Putting aside other things, just take the Cloud-Touching Vine. Plant life may grow faster in the early stages, and it can rely on accumulating a lot of resources before it Immortal. However, after breaking through to Immortal, growth becomes too difficult.
After Immortal, the path to breakthrough relies on comprehension of the Law, not simply the accumulation of energy. However, plant life is notoriously simple-minded and lacks understanding. Looking across the universe, how many have reached the strength of Universe Venerable? Which one of them hasn't cultivated for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions of epochs?
Even the strongest world tree is only at the level of Top Universe Overlord, yet Zhang Junbao casually cultivated a plant life form that possesses strength approaching that of the Strongest World Tree.
Given time, it's not impossible for it to surpass the Strongest World Tree.
The rise of Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God could be attributed to their unique souls nurtured by Earth and their exceptional comprehension. But how could Cloud-Touching Vine, a mere plant life form, be so powerful?
Who would believe that Zhang Junbao didn't have special methods for cultivating geniuses?
Many races besieged him, not only to obtain the Supreme Treasure he possessed, but more importantly, to seize the legacy of the powerful individuals he cultivated.
For an individual, Supreme Treasure are more important, but for a clan, the cultivation of geniuses and the inheritance of their legacy are fundamental.
"If we can obtain his legacy, perhaps our clan can also cultivate a large number of top geniuses, Universe Venerable, or even Universe Overlord!"
The powerful figures of most major forces in the universe are extremely excited, and countless Universe Overlord and Universe Master are on their way.
The continuation of a clan's heritage is more important than any Supreme Treasure.
" Junbao and Luo Feng have attracted tens of thousands of Universe Venerable. What are they trying to do?" Even though he had already sent his Clone from the Original Universe to the Primal Star, the Chaos City Lord in the Chaos Ruins still found it unbelievable.
Neither of these two is easy to deal with.
They're all incredibly restless and troublesome.
Although Zhang Junbao spent less time venturing into the universe than Luo Feng, every time he appeared, he caused a bloodbath.
"If this continues, not even Giant Axe could withstand it, let alone me!"
The terrifying waves that surged through the universe made even the Chaos City Lord's eyelids twitch.
Before his Clone in the Original Universe could even arrive on the Primal Star, he was stopped. " Chaos, Primal Star, I'm afraid you won't be able to go."
" Virtual Master, you are still no match for me!" A mottled stone staff appeared in the hand of the Chaos City Lord, his ultimate offensive Supreme Treasure.
As the strongest human being besides the Giant Axe, how could he not possess a powerful Supreme Treasure?
The Chaos City Lord unleashed his divine Divine Power, causing the void spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers to tremble and countless spaces to shatter.
" Chaos, do you think this is still the era of the Original Ancestor? That old thing has been suppressed by the Universe Origin. Your Human Race doesn't even have a single Strongest Supreme Treasure, yet you dare to be enemies with the major races?"
"I am indeed no match for you, but I am more than capable of keeping you occupied!" The Virtual Master, who resembled a giant mechanical planet, exuded a terrifying pressure. His body was a Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure.
The terrifying aspect of the Machine Race's powerful members is that they can refine some Mechanical Flow Supreme Treasure into their own divine bodies.
Supreme Treasure remains unbroken, the divine body will never perish!
" Virtual Master, you're courting death!"
"Hmph, if the Aurora King rises to power, he might become the next you, perhaps even comparable to the Giant Axe, or even Original Ancestor. Our elite clans will absolutely not see a second Original Ancestor appear!"
You stay here obediently! This time, Aurora King must die! Don't even mention you, even Giant Axe would never allow him to appear on the Primal Star!
"You think you can stop me?" The Chaos City Lord exuded endless killing intent, as if he had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
His Clone, who was stationed in the Original Universe, was known for his killing prowess. Even the Lord of Chaos City Lord, the Universe Master, had killed him!
Boundless power erupted from the mottled stone staff, while the enormous divine body of the Virtual Master, as large as a star, also emitted a dazzling light.
The two peak experts clashed, shattering countless Star and annihilating the void.
