The Human Race's high command was plotting how to protect Zhang Junbao, while Zhang Junbao, on Bauhinia Island, welcomed two brothers.
" Junbao, you guys are too strong. You actually went up against the Universe Supreme Master. I thought I could catch up with you after this training, but I didn't expect that you and Luo Feng are already Universe Venerable." Thunder God looked on with admiration.
He and Hong traveled to the Cosmic Secret Realm to hone their Law Comprehension to the extreme. But who would have thought that after only tens of thousands of years, Zhang Junbao's opponent was no longer Immortal God or Universe Venerable, but the strongest being at the pinnacle of the universe.
"You two have nearly reached the pinnacle of your Law Comprehension. Since that's the case, then find an opportunity to break through. Staying at the World Lord level for too long is meaningless. Even if you possess combat power comparable to an ordinary Universe Venerable, it's still nothing special," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"Yeah, Brother Hong, Thunder God, fighting against Immortal God is so boring. Why not take this opportunity to break through to Immortal and reach the Venerable? With your Law Comprehension, you'll quickly become Venerable after achieving Immortal."
"As for Law Comprehension is slower, but with increased strength, one's understanding of the Universe Origin will be greater, and may not be inferior to that of the World Lord era," Luo Feng said.
While Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng were cultivating themselves over the years, neither of them was idle.
Tens of thousands of years of cultivation is actually a very short time for World Lord.
World Lord Level being possesses a lifespan of one thousand epochs, which is ten million years. A mere hundred thousand years is merely their infancy.
Other people wouldn't need to be nervous, but it depends on how the people around them are.
Luo Feng was already able to fight against the Universe Master without being defeated, and Zhang Junbao severely injured the Universe Supreme Master, the Dream Demon Ancestor.
Compared to them, the two of them were simply weaklings.
"Although Master Giant Axe is the strongest, he excels in close combat. I, on the other hand, am an illusionary warrior. My master can guide me in the path of martial arts, but I need to explore the path of illusion on my own. However, some time ago I stumbled into a secret realm, which seems to have been left behind by a powerful illusionary master."
Within that secret realm, I felt as if I had cultivated to the level of Universe Master. The illusions within were so real that I could even comprehend the Law and Creation Secret Technique.
Although it was just an illusion, it greatly enhanced my actual understanding of Law and secret techniques.
"I'm just one step away from being able to deduce the Ultimate Secret Technique the Universe Venerable level," Hong said with emotion.
The Virtual Universe can only demonstrate secret techniques, but it cannot allow people to comprehend the Universe Origin Law. However, the secret realm that Hong entered actually allowed him to comprehend these Law. This incredibly realistic illusion allowed Hong to see his future path.
"I also comprehended the ultimate mystery of the Law of Thunder in that secret realm. I plan to go into seclusion for a while; breaking through to Immortal is just a thought away." The Thunder God also gained a lot.
"An illusion that allows one to comprehend the Law? Even an illusion created by the Universe Master cannot achieve this, nor can the Universe Supreme Master. The Universe Supreme Master can, however, enter and exit their own Miniature Universe at will, but since you can do so freely, it is not Miniature Universe."
"It was probably left behind by some Universe Supreme Master was extremely skilled in illusions." Hearing Hong and Thunder God's words, the Demon Lord Luan Shen narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something.
" The World Lord is indeed too weak. Find an opportunity to break through to Immortal. From now on, if the two of you don't reach the level of Top Universe Overlord, you won't even be qualified to participate in the battle."
"You are all disciples of the Giant Axe. The Giant Axe is devoted to the Human Race and cannot offer you much guidance, but you must not diminish the Giant Axe's reputation."
"Yes!"
Facing the Demon Lord Luan Shen and Demons, Hong and Thunder God Shen dared not be too presumptuous. Although the Demon Lord Luan Shen and Demons had a very close relationship with Zhang Junbao, to them, the Universe Master was the Universe Master, and the due respect was indispensable.
" Junbao, the Giant Axe has decided that humanity will take the initiative to kill some powerful Alien Race to deter Alien Race from attacking you again. I will also participate in this. Therefore, I will return to the Human Territory and work with them to hunt down the Alien Race Universe Master," said the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
Zhang Junbao raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the Giant Axe would lead the Human Race to take the initiative in order to relieve their pressure.
In reality, Human Race powerhouses rarely provoke Alien Race because the Original Ancestor suppressed the major powers of the Original Universe too much. If the Human Race were to act too aggressively now, it would easily provoke the major races to join forces to suppress them.
Given Human Race's current strength, it would be difficult to retaliate against the combined suppression of the top powers from other universes.
Although the Giant Axe is powerful, it lacks its own Strongest Supreme Treasure and cannot unleash its full combat potential. Facing Universe Supreme Master like the Dream Demon Ancestor, who possesses Strongest Supreme Treasure armor, it is meaningless if it cannot inflict substantial damage.
This time, the Giant Axe's decision to take the initiative was unexpected by Zhang Junbao.
"My arrival has brought about some changes to the Giant Axe."
Zhang Junbao transmitted his voice to the Demon Lord Luan Shen, saying, "Senior Brother Luanshen, if the Giant Axe axe possesses Strongest Supreme Treasure, could it suppress the Universe Supreme Master?"
The Demon Lord Luan Shen's expression shifted, as if he were pondering something, before replying, "As far as I know, it should be possible. Although Giant Axe hasn't used his full power much these past few years, it's clear that he hasn't dared to unleash it. The Peak Supreme Treasure battle axe he's currently using is simply insufficient for Giant Axe to exert its full strength. Right now, Giant Axe is like a powerful warrior fighting with a wooden stick; with the slightest exertion, his Peak Supreme Treasure battle axe would likely shatter."
"It seems we should find an Strongest Supreme Treasure battle axe for the Giant Axe."
"Hmm? You have a way?" A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
"Perhaps there is. Don't forget, the Original Ancestor and the Sitting Mountain Guest made an agreement. The main points were threefold: first, the Sitting Mountain Guest would help the Human Race Human Race times of crisis; second, he would guide me in the art of Treasure Refining."
The first point is that Human Race is not currently facing a crisis, Sitting Mountain Guest naturally won't intervene. As for the second point, the Sitting Mountain Guest has actually already secretly instructed me on it.
"No wonder you can refine Supreme Treasure now. I didn't expect the Sitting Mountain Guest to have such a hidden skill. There are probably very few people in the universe who know about his superb Treasure Refining abilities."
"And what is the third one?"
"The third condition is to forge an Strongest Supreme Treasure for my Human Race!"
"What? He can forge the Strongest Supreme Treasure?" The Demon Lord Luan Shen was shocked. In the Original Universe, the strongest Treasure Refining master on the surface, the Master of Craftsman God, could only forge Top-tier Supreme Treasure, not even Peak Supreme Treasure.
Zhang Junbao actually said that the Sitting Mountain Guest could refine the Strongest Supreme Treasure, treasures that all the Universe Supreme Master dream of.
" The Master of Craftsman God actually received guidance from the Sitting Mountain Guest." Zhang Junbao didn't mind revealing a little about the Sitting Mountain Guest's secrets to the Human Race's powerful figures, as the Human Race still actually lacks Supreme Treasure.
Of the Supreme Treasure Zhang Junbao seized on the Primal Star, aside from those he left for the Chaos City Lord and the Demon Lord Luan Shen, he fed the Supreme Treasure to his two Clone.
Although these Supreme Treasure, if given to powerful Human Race, would certainly greatly increase their strength.
However, how can the growth of others' strength compare to the guaranteed growth of one's own?
This wasn't because Zhang Junbao was selfish, but because he clearly understood that only by becoming stronger could the Human Race become stronger.
He's not a saint; he'd rather give away his Supreme Treasure to others.
"It seems you know quite a few secrets of the universe."
I know a little bit about it.
"I will find an opportunity to contact the Sitting Mountain Guest and inquire about the Strongest Supreme Treasure."
"That would be perfect! If the Giant Axe possesses Strongest Supreme Treasure, other peak-level experts would certainly not dare to surround and kill you."
"The idea of Human Race Universe Master hunting down Alien Race Universe Master is not bad. However, aimless hunting seems inappropriate. Once the Human Race begin hunting, the news will spread quickly. The other Universe Master are not fools, waiting idly for Human Race powerhouses to come and kill them," Zhang Junbao said.
"This is indeed a problem. Originally, places like the Primal Star, rich in treasures, attracted a large number of powerful individuals, making it easier to hunt down Alien Race Universe Master. Now, those Universe Master are all hiding in their respective territories, making them difficult to kill," the Demon Lord Luan Shen lamented.
The Alien Race Universe Master wouldn't foolishly gather together to be slaughtered by Human Race. Who to hunt, how to kill them, and how to ensure that the news of the Universe Master' demise doesn't reach others are all issues that the Human Race Universe Master need to consider.
"What if a Supreme Treasure were to appear, capable of attracting enough Universe Master, or even the Universe Supreme Master?" Zhang Junbao said slowly.
"What do you want to do?" the Demon Lord Luan Shen asked suspiciously.
Zhang Junbao smiled slightly and looked at Luo Feng.
At this moment, Luo Feng seemed to have thought of something as well.
" Junbao, could it be that you're thinking of...?"
"That's right, we're creating the illusion that the Star Tower is about to be born and recognize its master!" Zhang Junbao said with a slight smile.
"Kindness?"
Not only the Demon Lord Luan Shen, but even Luo Feng and his two companions were taken aback.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen was stunned because the Star Tower was indeed a good target to attract powerful Alien Race races, but he wondered what Zhang Junbao was going to do.
What puzzled Luo Feng and his companions was that since the Star Tower had clearly recognized Luo Feng as its master, why would Zhang Junbao still say that the Star Tower needed to recognize a master?
"My Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation is now at the level of Strongest Supreme Treasure. As long as it is well controlled, it is not impossible to slightly shake the Star Tower. If the Star Tower undergoes an anomaly, do you think the Alien Race Universe Master will flock to the Star Tower?"
"That's natural. The Star Tower is universally recognized as the Strongest Supreme Treasure in the universe, but since its discovery, no one has been able to claim it as their master. If the Star Tower were to become unstable, it would surely attract the attention of top experts from various major powers."
"That makes things easier. Demon Lord Luan Shen, inform the Human Race Giant Axe and the others not to rush into action. Since we've already decided to hunt down the Universe Master, let's go all out and do something big!"
"I will find a way to destabilize the Star Tower and attract powerful figures from all sides. At that time, Human Race experts will infiltrate it."
"Lurking within the Star Tower? But the Star Tower is an unclaimed property; even the Universe Supreme Master cannot control it. Once Human Race expert enters the Star Tower, they can't simply leave as they please."
"Ahem, actually, the owner of the Star Tower is right here."
Seeing that Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God Shen were all feeling too uncomfortable, Zhang Junbao simply used his domain to cover the surroundings.
He was known for his outrageous words, and upon hearing them, even the Demon Lord Luan Shen widened his eyes in shock.
"You... you all knew?"
Seeing the expressions on Luo Feng's and the others' faces, how could the Demon Lord Luan Shen not guess that all four of them actually knew that the Star Tower had an owner?
Who exactly is it?
"It's me," Luo Feng said honestly.
"Actually, all four of us went through the process of being recognized by the Star Tower. I was lucky and was recognized by the Star Tower."
"However, before I became Universe Venerable, I didn't have enough Divine Power to drive the Star Tower. Now that I am Universe Venerable, controlling the Star Tower is certainly no problem." Luo Feng admitted this directly, but concealed the fact that he Sitting Mountain Guest.
He believed that Zhang Junbao would not deliberately harm him.
Since the plan is to use the Star Tower as bait to lure other powerful beings from the universe, the fact that the Star Tower is under the control of the Human Race will inevitably be exposed.
So what if it's exposed?
With the Star Tower in hand, Luo Feng was confident that he could fight even the Universe Supreme Master.
Zhang Junbao used the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation to fight against the Dream Demon Ancestor, while the Star Tower was the Strongest Supreme Treasure left to him by the Sitting Mountain Guest. According to the Sitting Mountain Guest's description, the power of the Star Tower even far surpasses that of ordinary Strongest Supreme Treasure.
If he still can't catch up with Zhang Junbao after acquiring the Star Tower, then he has no hope for the rest of his life.
Facing the Universe Supreme Master, Luo Feng felt no fear, but rather boundless fighting spirit.
Finally, the day has come. He will be able to stand at the pinnacle of the universe and fight against the strongest.
"In other words, the Human Race does possess two Strongest Supreme Treasure Strongest Supreme Treasure, and they are in the hands of the two of you!"
The Demon Lord Luan Shen felt his worldview had been completely shattered. Since when could one find Strongest Supreme Treasure everywhere? Why couldn't he find any?
The Star Tower is Strongest Supreme Treasure, a fact acknowledged by many powerful beings in the universe. Yet, even the Universe Supreme Master cannot claim it as their master. Now, Luo Feng claims to be the master of the Star Tower, which is truly astonishing.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Junbao's Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation was discovered by him first, but he just couldn't recognize it as his master.
There was once an Strongest Supreme Treasure right in front of him, but he couldn't pick it up, and instead it benefited Zhang Junbao.
If we're talking about envy, then of course there is; but to say it's jealousy wouldn't be an exaggeration.
With his open-mindedness, he naturally understood that every Strongest Supreme Treasure comes with a special opportunity; if it's not his, he can't obtain it even if it's placed in front of him.
Zhang Junbao's words were so shocking that he was stunned. This was Strongest Supreme Treasure, and even the Giant Axe was not available, yet the two people in front of him each possessed one. If it weren't for the fact that they were both from the Virtual Universe Company, the Demon Lord Luan Shen would have already considered snatching the Supreme Treasure.
It's a pity, but oh well. Zhang Junbao is his junior brother, and Luo Feng is his junior nephew. Their obtaining of the Strongest Supreme Treasure is their own good fortune, and there's no point in envying them.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen could only console himself with this thought.
"That's right. Luo Feng can completely control the Star Tower. When the time comes, with my Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation combined with Luo Feng's Star Tower, not a single Alien Race Universe Master who dares to enter will be able to escape."
"You guys are too cruel!"
The Demon Lord Luan Shen was terrified. Two Universe Venerable were actually plotting to kill the Universe Master of various major forces. Who would believe it if word got out? Yet, Zhang Junbao's plan seemed so reliable to him.
With the Star Tower suppressing them and the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation restricting space and time, the enemy's Universe Master are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter. Even if the Universe Supreme Master were to arrive, they would not be able to break through the Star Tower's defenses.
These two Strongest Supreme Treasure, and extremely rare Flying Palace-type and Domain-type Supreme Treasure at that, are simply beyond the ability of a group of Universe Master to withstand.
With Zhang Junbao's Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, Luo Feng could easily Teleportation away using the Star Tower, leaving a group of the Universe Supreme Master to stare in disbelief.
"Since they want to surround and kill us, then don't blame us for being impolite. This matter needs to be handled quickly. In order to revive the Universe Venerable, the major powers will likely suffer considerable losses to the Universe Master in a short period of time."
Even if a hundred thousand Universe Venerable pay a price to have those colossal Universe Master Reverse Time and Space, I refuse to believe that not a single one of their own race's Universe Master will be resurrected.
"The more resurrected beings there are, the more severe the spacetime backlash will be for the Universe Master. Do you think they'll be tempted if news of the Star Tower's turmoil spreads at this time?"
"No, we can't be too hasty. We need to give them enough time to revive the Universe Venerable. Human Race Universe Master investigate the major forces in the universe to see which Universe Master have made their moves. Once they've been revived and used up all the treasures to restore their divine bodies, then we'll send out the message." Zhang Junbao became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes gleaming.
Don't spout nonsense about some so-called Universe Master being innocent. When they ordered 100,000 Venerable to surround and kill Zhang Junbao and his companion, the feud was already irreconcilable.
Given this, why not try to weaken the strength of each side?
"If we want to stop all sides from attacking Luo Feng, we either need the protection of a powerful force, like the Ancestral God Sect, or we need to prevent them from having enough power to attack us."
" Junbao is right. They're already mortal enemies, so we must strike first. We should deliver a fatal blow while they're at their weakest!"
The Demon Lord Luan Shen always thought he was crazy enough, but compared to the two people in front of him, what he had done before was nothing more than that of a good boy.
During his time Universe Venerable, how could he dare to plot to kill Alien Race Universe Master! Being able to escape the Universe Master's pursuit was already something to be proud of.
Hong and Thunder God, standing to the side, were extremely excited, but their eyes revealed resentment. They were too weak to participate.
" Demon Lord Luan Shen, these are the four divine swords of the Top-tier Supreme Treasure set ' Sword River Luo.' You can use them for now. This Supreme Treasure set consists of a compass and nine divine swords. It is the best among the Top-tier Supreme Treasure of the Domain Type, and its attack power is comparable to that of Peak Supreme Treasure. I obtained it on the Primal Star."
The remaining divine sword and compass are in the hands of a Universe Master within the Thorn Ring Alliance. If we can lure him here this time, we'll destroy him and collect the entire set of Supreme Treasure treasures for you."
The Demon Lord Luan Shen looked at the black divine sword in his hand, filled with emotion.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Junbao can now casually produce Top-tier Supreme Treasure.
"Furthermore, this World Ring should be given to the Chaos City Lord. It contains some Supreme Treasure that should be able to elevate his Thousand Treasure River to the level of Peak Supreme Treasure."
"As for plotting to become the ruler of the Alien Race Universe Master, I will discuss it with Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord in the Virtual Universe," Zhang Junbao said.
"Why don't you just quietly return to the Human Race with me? If you leave Divine Kingdom Teleportation, they might not be able to detect it."
"No, Luo Feng and I must show ourselves from time to time to lower the guard of the various races. Moreover, Luo Feng and I haven't yet reached the pinnacle of our Path of the Beast God, so this is a good opportunity to improve our cultivation."
"Very well, what you lack most right now is time. If it weren't for the fact that the Universe Master major powers would definitely Reverse Time and Space to revive the Universe Venerable and weaken their divine bodies, I would have preferred that you could focus on your cultivation for a while."
With your talent, given tens of thousands of years, advancing to the Universe Master wouldn't be difficult at all. At that time, even the Universe Supreme Master wouldn't be able to do anything to you.
"Hahaha, hiding in a coward's shell is not the way of our cultivation. In my opinion, a cultivator must have a clear mind. If I were to be besieged and attacked by many forces and still not fight back, then what I am cultivating is not the True Meaning of Taiji, but the way of the tortoise."
The Path of Taiji is not just about softness, but about the interplay of softness and strength. All feigned compliance is for the sake of an ultimate, more powerful outburst. I have been patient enough over the years; it's time to let the races of the universe see my temper."
"Back in the days of the Genius Battle, I called myself ' Daoist Sanfeng,' but now it seems that not many people in the universe know this name."
Then let them remember this well: as long as I am here, the Human Race will not be bullied!
