The moment the Heaven Opening Battle Axe appeared, it caused the void in the Origin Universe to tremble. Even the will of the Origin Clone frowned slightly, as if the entire Source World had been stirred up by this Heaven Opening Axe.
"What a ferocious battle axe! It's barely formed, yet it already wants to cleave my universe in two. Does it think this universe isn't big enough to contain it?"
"Don't worry, I'll find you a suitable owner."
The Heaven Opening Axe hummed, seemingly understanding Zhang Junbao's words, and gradually fell silent.
Seeing that the Heaven Opening Axe had finally stopped causing trouble, Zhang Junbao breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly worried that this Strongest Supreme Treasure axe would strike his world with its power the moment it was born. Even his Origin Universe might not be able to withstand its terrifying force.
" The Heaven Opening Axe received the blessings of the original Universe Origin and my Origin Clone Universe, and I also infused it with a trace of the World Beast Blood. The entire battle axe is filled with an aura of Destruction and is extremely ferocious. I'm afraid that every time it strikes, it will only stop when the enemy's life is sacrificed."
Hopefully, the Giant Axe will be able to tame it.
Most Strongest Supreme Treasure only need to meet the conditions for recognizing a master, but there are always some anomalies among Supreme Treasure. They seem to be born with sentience and can choose their own masters. If one cannot match the habits of this Supreme Treasure, even if one forcibly recognizes a master, it will be difficult to unleash its power.
Just like Luo Feng's Star Tower and his Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, they are extremely special Supreme Treasure.
After Zhang Junbao fused a World Beast Blood into this Heaven Opening Axe, it has already acquired a preliminary spirituality. Perhaps it only needs to be nurtured for a period of time to give birth to Supreme Treasure Spirit. A Supreme Treasure with a spirit is more terrifying in power than Supreme Treasure without a spirit, but it is also more difficult to control.
The Supreme Treasure Spirit is the embodiment of the Supreme Treasure itself and possesses absolute control. If the owner cannot gain the approval of the Supreme Treasure Spirit, the Supreme Treasure's power cannot be unleashed.
The next moment, Zhang Junbao returned to the Original Universe, and in his hand appeared a battle axe that was entirely black, with profound Secret Pattern Diagram covering its blade.
"Finally finished." Sitting Mountain Guest saw Zhang Junbao appear, he was immediately drawn to the Giant Axe in Zhang Junbao's hand.
"This battle axe is about to come alive. It has even formed natural Secret Pattern Diagram."
"Is this ' Heaven Opening '? Such a domineering name means it's destined to be no peaceful weapon."
With his seasoned and astute eye, the Sitting Mountain Guest immediately discerned the situation with the Heaven Opening Axe.
" The Secret Pattern Diagram on its surface were bestowed by the Universe Origin, much like Special Lifeform being granted Innate Secret Technique. Such Supreme Treasure is among the Strongest Supreme Treasure, and is a top-tier existence."
"That's right, as soon as it was finished, it almost shattered my Origin Clone Universe. Fortunately, it had fused with the aura of the Origin Clone Universe, and I promised to find it a suitable master before it calmed down." Recalling the scene just now, Zhang Junbao was still a little shaken.
" The Giant Axe Founder is quite fortunate. If he could tame such a ferocious battle axe, his strength would surely reach a new level. Now it seems I'm starting to believe the secret you spoke of." The Sitting Mountain Guest looked at the Supreme Treasure he had crafted as if it were a work of art.
"Won't you miss it?" Zhang Junbao asked with a smile.
"Can't bear to part with it? How could that be?"
I am Treasure Refiner. What I enjoy is the process of refining treasures from raw materials into their final form. As for who the treasure belongs to after it is finished, that depends on its own destiny. Great Supreme Treasure will always seek out their own masters.
Luo Feng's Star Tower is a case in point. The Star Tower is of an extremely high level, but it's not suitable for me, so I handed it over to the leader of the Earth Lineage. I just never expected that such a freak like you would appear.
Despite ruling over the Earth Lineage, it refuses to acknowledge the Star Tower as its master.
"Hehe, I had already gained the approval of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation at that time, but the Zhou Heavenly Stars was not yet the Strongest Supreme Treasure. However, it was already connected with the Universe Origin."
"Moreover, my Clone Secret Technique doesn't allow me to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual anymore. If I don't give this opportunity to Luo Feng, am I supposed to keep it to gather dust for myself?" Zhang Junbao laughed.
" The Star Tower is Strongest Supreme Treasure. Don't you feel even a little regret?"
"There is certainly regret, but the Star Tower is not suitable for me. The Zhou Heavenly Stars, which has accompanied me all the way, is the most suitable Supreme Treasure for me. The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation has now become the key to managing the original Universe Origin and my Origin Clone Universe. Its level may not be inferior to the Star Tower."
"That's true. Rather than saying you crafted this Strongest Supreme Treasure Supreme Treasure, it's more accurate to say you facilitated its birth. In the universe, there are naturally occurring Supreme Treasure that are born because they are perfectly aligned with the Universe Operation Rules. Therefore, once they become Supreme Treasure, they possess immense power."
"Our Treasure Refiner of supreme Supreme Treasure is essentially learning the process of how naturally born Supreme Treasure are created," said the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"So, we Treasure Refiner don't actually create treasures, but rather we're just transporters of natural Supreme Treasure."
"Haha, that's a pretty apt way to put it."
"Now that the Supreme Treasure Battle Axe has been forged, shouldn't you be leaving?" said the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? You were so concerned just a moment ago, and now you're turning your back on me."
"Hmph, you extorted a batch of valuable materials from me in just one visit. If I let you stay any longer, who knows what might happen?" the Sitting Mountain Guest said irritably.
He wouldn't have invested so heavily if it weren't for the Human Race.
The materials used to forge the Heaven Opening Axe were already incredibly precious, not to mention that it was personally crafted by the universe's number one Treasure Refiner, the Sitting Mountain Guest.
There are only a handful of Supreme Treasure in this universe that can attract the secret runes bestowed by the Universe Origin.
"Didn't you just say that we were just moving materials? Your two precious materials for Treasure Refining will only truly show their value when they are forged into the Heaven Opening Axe."
As a Treasure Refiner, I should be happy.
Now that the material you have is ready to grow, just like a daughter you've raised will eventually get married, shouldn't you give her some extra dowry?
"My requirements aren't high, just ten or eight more Peak Supreme Treasure will do. I Human Race will treat this Heaven Opening Axe well," Zhang Junbao said with a grin.
"Roll!"
With a roar, the Sitting Mountain Guest slapped his back, teleporting Zhang Junbao back into the Blood Cloud Palace.
"Take Luo Feng and get out of here right now. Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up!"
Inside the Blood Cloud Palace, Luo Feng, who was cultivating, suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the surrounding space-time. Then, Zhang Junbao rolled out from a space-time tunnel. At the same time, the angry roar of the Sitting Mountain Guest also crossed space-time and reached the Blood Cloud Palace.
"What's wrong with Master Sitting Mountain Guest? Why are you so angry?" Luo Feng asked in shock.
"It's nothing. The old man is just being dramatic. He wants to invest in the Human Race but doesn't want people to think he has too much ulterior motive. He's a typical hypocrite."
"So what if I ask you for ten or eight Peak Supreme Treasure? With your strength, crafting Supreme Treasure of that level would be a piece of cake. Why are you so bothered by it?"
Luo Feng looked surprised; he finally understood why the Sitting Mountain Guest was so angry.
Zhang Junbao asked the Sitting Mountain Guest for so many Peak Supreme Treasure right off the bat; he's really trying to fleece him relentlessly!
No wonder the Sitting Mountain Guest got angry.
Just as Luo Feng was in shock, he noticed that the space-time around the Blood Cloud Palace was faintly trembling with thunder. He quickly steered the Blood Cloud Palace, which had just recognized him as its master, and fled the area.
" Junbao, it seems that Master Sitting Mountain Guest is really angry."
"Haha, he couldn't stand seeing such a precious Supreme Treasure given to the Human Race. I was afraid he'd change his mind, so I gave him a little jab."
"Is the Strongest Supreme Treasure battle axe of the Giant Axe complete?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
"That's right."
Can I take a look?
"I'm afraid that won't work. This battle axe is too powerful. If we display it here casually, it might be discovered by powerful individuals. Moreover, its nature is extremely ferocious; it will slaughter its enemies as soon as it appears. You'll see its true power when the Giant Axe is used to kill its enemies." Zhang Junbao shook his head.
It wasn't that he didn't want to show it to Luo Feng, but rather that this Heaven Opening Axe was extremely unstable. He could only suppress it by forcefully using the Universe Origin to make it somewhat stable. If he simply showed it to Luo Feng, the battle axe might accidentally go berserk.
"Then I'm really looking forward to it."
"Let's go back to the Human Race. We've been suppressed for so long; it's time to show the other races in the universe our true colors."
Inside the Blood Cloud Palace, Luo Feng gazed into the distance.
Even before leaving Human Territory, he was constantly targeted by assassins from Alien Race. He evaded their attacks time and time again, but was never able to retaliate.
Now, among the Human Race, including his Star Tower, there are already three Strongest Supreme Treasure.
"I have four Clone, with the Endless Nether Sea as their base and source of Divine Power, providing a continuous flow. The Star Tower, the Tribulation Armor, the Beast God Armor, and now the Blood Cloud Palace are all extremely powerful Supreme Treasure."
My God Kingdom is incredibly stable and powerful. Even if the Universe Master were to invade it, the combined power of the Endless Nether Sea and my God Kingdom would not deter me in the slightest.
"Once I obtain the Star Tower, I will fear no powerful opponent." A terrifying light flashed in Luo Feng's eyes, and his oppressive aura filled the entire Blood Cloud Palace.
"Hahaha, aren't you already impatient? It's too late for the Alien Race to wipe us out." Seeing the oppressive aura emanating from Luo Feng, Zhang Junbao knew he couldn't hold back any longer.
Immediately, Zhang Junbao waved his hand, and a Divine Kingdom Passage appeared before them. The Blood Cloud Palace flew straight into it.
Soon, two figures appeared outside the spacetime portal leading to the Initial Universe.
However, no one discovered any trace of them.
Zhang Junbao used a secret technique to forcibly reverse the surrounding space-time.
The Chaos City Lord had already received Zhang Junbao's email and arranged for a spaceship to wait for them there early in the morning.
The spaceship was controlled by Virtual Universe Network throughout the entire process, and even the person in charge of the original spacetime channel was completely unaware of it.
Chaos City, a sacred place for Human Race, still has ancient Cultivation Residence powerful human cultivators can be seen sitting cross-legged on the rooftops, comprehending the Law.
Do you remember the first time we came here?
"Of course. Back then, it was my first time leaving the Ganwu Universe Country. I had no idea how vast and wondrous the universe was. When I first entered Chaos City, I was like a country bumpkin, looking around in bewilderment."
"Hehe, the Initial Universe was the Original Ancestor's Miniature Universe. With his strength, the Miniature Universe should have been extremely perfect, but he forcibly stabilized Miniature Universe in the state of the Initial Universe, allowing the Law to manifest and creating a sacred place for cultivation for the Human Race," Zhang Junbao said with emotion.
"When Human Race clash with other races, this is our last safe haven."
Luo Feng was also filled with emotion. No matter how dangerous it was outside, once he returned to Chaos City, he felt completely at peace. It was absolutely safe here.
"Protect Human Race, protect these billions of living beings. We were once one of them, but now that we have established our foundation, it is our turn to protect others."
As the two talked, they arrived at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.
Venerable Guiyi was already there waiting for them.
" Gui Yi."
"Hehe, Junbao, Luo Feng, your teacher is already waiting for you inside. You can go in by yourselves," Venerable Guiyi said respectfully.
He watched as his two junior brothers' strength surpassed his own in the blink of an eye. Not only Zhang Junbao, but even Luo Feng was now able to contend with the Universe Master, and all this in just a few hundred thousand years!
"Let's go inside first, and then we can have a proper get-together later," Zhang Junbao said.
"Good!"
The Venerable Guiyi replied with a smile.
Although Zhang Junbao's strength is now comparable to that of the Chaos City Lord, his attitude towards him remains unchanged, which reassured Venerable Guiyi quite a bit. He had also seen many powerful individuals who, after gaining great strength, could no longer treat their former brothers and friends as equals.
However, Zhang Junbao and his companion never displayed any haughty attitude, which greatly comforted Venerable Guiyi.
It feels like a child I've raised has finally become independent and successful.
Although they were nominally disciples of the Chaos City Lord, they were actually guided more by Venerable Guiyi in daily life.
" Junbao, what do you think would happen if Venerable Guiyi knew you weren't his junior brother, and instead he had to address you as 'Uncle-Master'?" Luo Feng asked with a smile, transmitting his voice.
He was also curious to see if others would be shocked when they learned Zhang Junbao's true identity.
"From the time we were weak, it was Venerable Guiyi who guided us. Whether we are junior uncle or junior brother, it's just a title." Zhang Junbao waved his hand dismissively and said.
For them, identity doesn't actually mean much.
Within the Chaos Ruins, the Chaos City Lord greeted the two upon their arrival.
"I'm relieved to see that you two are both safe and sound."
"Greetings, teacher!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
The Chaos City Lord was slightly taken aback, then looked at Zhang Junbao and asked, "Did you tell Luo Feng your identity?"
"Yes, we couldn't keep it a secret forever. I went to see the Sitting Mountain Guest, and he exposed my identity, so I just admitted it," Zhang Junbao said.
"Very well, you were originally Luo Feng's senior uncle, it's been unfair of you to treat him as his senior brother all this time," said the Chaos City Lord.
"It doesn't matter, whether it's my senior brother or my uncle, I'll beat him up the same way," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
Luo Feng also stood by with a forced smile.
Indeed, regardless of Zhang Junbao's identity, he was always the brother who got beaten up but always stayed by his side, and that was enough.
"Did you gain anything from Sitting Mountain Guest?"
" Senior Brother Chaos, please come with us to the Miniature Universe of the Giant Axe," Zhang Junbao said.
"Huh? What brings you to the Giant Axe's Miniature Universe?" the Chaos City Lord asked, puzzled.
"This is a major event, a matter of great importance concerning the future of our Human Race. I'd also like to take this opportunity to discuss the Star Tower plan with Giant Axe."
"Good!"
The Chaos City Lord knew that Zhang Junbao had come to him for serious business, so he activated a teleportation portal to the Miniature Universe of the Giant Axe.
Within the Giant Axe Miniature Universe, inside the palace of the Giant Axe, Zhang Junbao and his two companions appeared. Accompanying them Demon Lord Luan Shen.
" Junbao, you summoned us here to discuss the Star Tower plan?" The Giant Axe Founder asked, seated on his throne.
" Giant Axe Founder, please shield the surrounding spacetime to prevent your aura from leaking out."
"What are you going to do?" Giant Axe asked suspiciously. However, he did not doubt Zhang Junbao, and then sealed off the space-time within the temple.
The next moment, a terrifying aura of Destruction appeared in Zhang Junbao's hand. The incomparably frenzied Destruction intent even moved the Giant Axe, the Universe Supreme Master.
"This is... Strongest Supreme Treasure!"
Giant Axe's eyes widened as he stared intently at the Heaven Opening Axe that had appeared before him. He had become the Universe Supreme Master through the Way of the Giant Axe, and no one knew better than him the power of the battle axe before him.
"This... where did you get this from?" The Chaos City Lord was equally shocked.
If Zhang Junbao's Zhou Heavenly Stars and Luo Feng's Star Tower can be traced back to something, then where did Zhang Junbao's Strongest Supreme Treasure battle axe come from?
"Didn't I say I'd go to the Sitting Mountain Guest to ask for our share of the Ancestral God Sect Sect's war? This battle axe is called ' Heaven Opening,' and that's the share the Sitting Mountain Guest is giving to our Human Race!"
At this moment, everyone—from the Giant Axe - Sitting Mountain Guest, and even the Demon Lord Luan Shen —wanted to ask: When will the next assassination attempt be? Will there be another one?
If assassinating Zhang Junbao once results in Human Race a Strongest Supreme Treasure, then it doesn't seem so unacceptable!
"How could the Sitting Mountain Guest so casually hand over such a Strongest Supreme Treasure to the Human Race?" The Chaos City Lord forced himself to calm down; what had just happened was truly shocking.
"He is the Universe Supreme Master. Even if the attributes don't match, this is still Strongest Supreme Treasure! I've never heard of the Sitting Mountain Guest possessing Strongest Supreme Treasure. Could it be a trap?"
It's no wonder the Chaos City Lord was suspicious; there was simply no reason for the Sitting Mountain Guest to place such a huge bet on the Human Race!
"Among these reasons, there is compensation for the previous battle with the Ancestral God Sect, and another reason is the deal that the Original Ancestor Master made with the Sitting Mountain Guest when he appeared. The deal at that time mainly consisted of three points: first, to guide me in the art of Treasure Refining, which the Sitting Mountain Guest has been doing all along; second, to help the Human Race Human Race it is in danger. Since the Human Race is not facing a life-or-death crisis, he has not intervened."
As for the third point, it is to forge an Strongest Supreme Treasure for our Human Race.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Giant Axe exclaimed with delight. "Our Human Race has gained another Strongest Supreme Treasure! Congratulations!"
He was genuinely happy. When he learned that Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng each possessed an Strongest Supreme Treasure, the Giant Axe was also happy for them.
But ultimately, there are still some regrets.
He was the only Human Race in the Universe Supreme Master, and he devoted his entire life to fighting for Human Race. Giant Axe often ventured into the Universe Ocean, and apart from the treasures he obtained for his own use, he stored all the rest in the Human Race Treasury.
For the sake of Human Race, the Giant Axe gave almost everything.
But he could not escape the awkward situation of not having the Strongest Supreme Treasure.
Now, Zhang Junbao took out an Strongest Supreme Treasure battle axe right in front of him.
He could even feel the call of the battle axe.
"This Strongest Supreme Treasure battle axe is named ' Heaven Opening,' and it was specially crafted for the Giant Axe by the Sitting Mountain Guest. However, some other phenomena occurred during its crafting, and the Universe Origin Law bestowed secret patterns upon this battle axe. Therefore, the conditions for recognizing it as a master will probably be somewhat harsh."
This Supreme Treasure was specially crafted for you, the Giant Axe Founder; you still need to tame it and make it your master.
After saying that, under Zhang Junbao's control, the Heaven Opening Axe flew straight to the hand of the Giant Axe Founder.
"Alright!" The Giant Axe didn't stand on ceremony. He looked at the Heaven Opening Battle Axe in front of him, revealing a resolute expression, and grabbed it with both hands.
He didn't know what price the Original Ancestor paid to Sitting Mountain Guest to make that promise, nor did he know what Zhang Junbao had sacrificed to bring this Strongest Supreme Treasure back.
But he knew that he had to continue to bear the responsibility of protecting Human Race.
Everything for Human Race!
The moment the Heaven Opening Battle Axe landed in the Giant Axe's hand, it unleashed an incomparably powerful aura of Destruction, as if it were about to cleave the entire void and universe in two.
"What an ax!"
With a roar, the Giant Axe axe unleashed a terrifying pressure, causing the entire Miniature Universe to tremble slightly and infuse the Giant Axe with boundless power.
" The Heaven Opening Battle Axe shall expand the territory of our Human Race and usher in a completely new era."
The two powerful killing intents collided, and the Giant Axe actually used its own killing intent to forcefully suppress the Heaven Opening Axe.
"This is one of the conditions for recognizing a master: one must suppress the Destruction aura of the World Beast Blood within the Heaven Opening Axe with one's own will! Otherwise, one's soul will be impacted by the Destruction aura of the Heaven Opening Axe, causing the soul to collapse."
The killing intent in Giant Axe's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and the terrifying aura made everyone present feel immense pressure.
"The aura of the Giant Axe is far more powerful than that of the Void True Demon God from back then!" Zhang Junbao finally understood why the Sitting Mountain Guest said that the Giant Axe could easily suppress the Dream Demon Ancestor.
Even the Universe Supreme Master, such as the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Void True Demon God, were powerful enough to make Zhang Junbao feel despair.
However, the aura emanating from the Giant Axe at this moment had clearly overwhelmed the Destruction aura of the Heaven Opening Axe. Once it was completely subdued, the Giant Axe would successfully recognize its master.
Just from sensing it from the side, Zhang Junbao felt that even with his Domain-type Supreme Treasure, he would have absolutely no chance of survival against the Giant Axe's blow.
"This is the purest intent of slaughter. The path followed by the Giant Axe Founder is Dao of Slaughter. Without a Strongest Supreme Treasure axe capable of withstanding his power, he couldn't even unleash half of his full strength!"
"Submit!"
Suddenly, the Giant Axe let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, as if a whole new universe had exploded before them.
The axe of the Heaven Opening Axe trembled violently, then gradually fell silent.
"Hahaha, I've always lacked a suitable Strongest Supreme Treasure, always lacked one!" The Giant Axe Founder stood in the void, holding the Heaven Opening Axe, gazing into the distance.
"It is precisely because I do not possess the Strongest Supreme Treasure that I have always kept a low profile and endured hardship, fearing that my brilliance might bring disaster upon my Human Race."
Demon Race, Zerg, Machine Race, Void True Demon God god, you lowly villains, how dare you bully my Human Race's genius!
The Giant Axe's eyes flashed with light, exuding a murderous aura.
"I will show you that Human Race are not to be trifled with!"
"Congratulations, Giant Axe! Congratulations, Human Race!" Seeing that Giant Axe no longer needed to hold back, the Chaos City Lord was also extremely excited.
No one knew the strength of the Giant Axe better than him, and no one knew better than him how much the Giant Axe had sacrificed and endured for the Human Race since the Original Ancestor was suppressed.
At this moment, the Giant Axe was unleashed.
" Junbao, you are a hero of the Human Race. You deserve immense credit for obtaining this Strongest Supreme Treasure!" The Giant Axe's voice was filled with unwavering determination.
"I only did what I was supposed to do. Congratulations to the Giant Axe Founder for subduing the Strongest Supreme Treasure!"
