" The Universe Origin has a mission for me?" Zhang Junbao, slightly surprised.
"You have been Guardian Beast God of my Ancestral God Sect for so long, yet you have never completed a single task. Now, the Origin has a task for you. I wonder if you are willing?" The Two-Faced Ancestral God looked at Zhang Junbao, a complex expression in his eyes.
The Two-Faced Ancestral God once shielded Zhang Junbao from the attack of the Void True Demon God, but now, his strength has probably already surpassed his.
The most terrifying thing is that the Universe Origin told the Ancestral God that Zhang Junbao was not the Universe Master, but merely Universe Venerable. This was what greatly shocked the Two-Faced Ancestral God.
If their Ancestral God were able to contend with the Universe Supreme Master in the Original Universe while holding the realm of Universe Master, it was because they received the Universe Origin Will. Then, how did Zhang Junbao, at the realm of Universe Venerable, manage to contend with and even kill two of the strongest beings?
Two Strongest Supreme Treasure alone are probably not enough.
No matter how powerful Supreme Treasure is, its power depends on who uses it. If one cannot comprehend the secret runes within Supreme Treasure, even the Strongest Supreme Treasure will have very limited power to unleash.
The Two-Faced Ancestral God has seen countless geniuses of the universe and knows their secrets.
Zhang Junbao was the only one he could never see through.
To be honest, Zhang Junbao's relationship with the Origin is quite delicate. In the eyes of others, he is the Origin's favorite, and even the Ancestral God Sect Ancestral God of the Ancestral God Sect, who represents the Origin Will, thinks so. After all, during the war of Human Race destruction, the Origin once Ancestral God to stop other universe powerhouses from besieging Zhang Junbao, which makes people think a lot.
The Universe Origin has always been just and transcendent. Since the Ancestral God Sect has granted Zhang Junbao its protection, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Only Zhang Junbao himself knew that some of his secrets had probably already been discovered by the Origin. Logically speaking, he possessed the World Beast Blood, and the Destruction aura within it was something that the Universe Origin abhorred and rejected. World Beast were beings completely opposed to the Universe Origin, and the Origin was extremely sensitive to the aura of Destruction.
However, despite having possessed the World Beast Blood for so long, the Universe Origin not only did not reject him, but instead showed him even more favor, making Zhang Junbao wonder what the Origin Will was really after.
Zhang Junbao initially thought it was because he had hidden the World Beast Blood in his Origin Clone Universe, separated by a universe, Original Universe Origin Will couldn't detect it. But now it seems that might not be the case.
However, he wasn't too worried. Since the Universe Origin didn't allow the Ancestral God Sect to destroy him before he grew up, it at least meant that he was useful to the Universe Origin.
All life seeks advantage and avoids harm, even the sublime and great Universe Origin Will is no exception.
Since the original Universe Origin has a will, it means that it possesses the basic characteristics of life.
Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao smiled slightly, understanding dawning on him.
A great man once said, "It is endlessly joyful to fight against Heaven, endlessly joyful to fight against Earth, and endlessly joyful to fight against Man!"
The Universe Origin Will is itself a part of the Primal Universe and also belongs to one of the Universe Operation Law. Zhang Junbao comprehended the Universe Origin through " The True Meaning of Taiji," so naturally he must have a sufficient understanding of the Universe Origin.
In his view, all the actions of the Universe Origin are a kind of enlightenment.
He then said, "May I ask, Ancestral God, what is the task? As long as it does not involve the Human Race or my relatives and friends, I will certainly do my best for the origin."
The Ancestral God Sect had once protected him and prevented other powerful beings from attacking when Human Race was in peril. Zhang Junbao wanted to repay this kindness.
He also wanted to use this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Universe Operation Law; the more he came into contact with the origin, the more secrets he could see within it.
Beep!
A Golden Light light suddenly appeared before Zhang Junbao. It was a statue resembling Golden Toad, but the toad's eyes were dark gray.
"Take this to this area and annihilate any life that can cause his eyes to turn red," said the Two-Faced Ancestral God. "Furthermore, you must investigate what is happening there. The Universe Origin tells me that something detrimental to the Original Universe is occurring there."
Zhang Junbao held the Golden Toad, somewhat surprised.
This task, which was originally intended for Luo Feng, ended up in his hands.
"How wide is its monitoring range? Is the life form that turned it red contaminated with something that threatens the Universe Origin, or do they themselves harbor malice towards the Universe Origin?" Zhang Junbao asked.
Zhang Junbao looked at the toad's eyes, but they didn't turn red. Logically, if it were related to World Beast, its eyes should have turned red after contact, but the toad in his hand remained unchanged.
Otherwise, the Ancestral God would probably have regarded him as a threat and killed him directly.
If the person designated by the origin to carry out the mission is themselves a threat to the Universe Origin, that would be the biggest joke.
"A range of approximately 100 million kilometers. Your life is imprinted within it. By controlling it, you can clearly sense what kind of life or Mysterious Object caused this reaction."
If it is life, no matter who it is, it must be annihilated!
This is a new Communication Token that allows you to contact me directly.
A golden token floated over. Zhang Junbao examined it and, finding nothing unusual, put it away.
"Go! For the sake of the great Universe Origin, all life that makes its eyes turn red shall be annihilated. They are all enemies of the Universe Origin," said the Ancestral God.
"Understood!" Zhang Junbao stood up and Teleportation away.
After leaving the Ancestral God Sect, Zhang Junbao arrived at the Heng Ao Secret Realm in the blink of an eye.
"According to the scope taught by the Ancestral God Sect, it is within this Heng Ao Secret Realm." Zhang Junbao suddenly appeared on the surface of a desolate and lifeless mineral planet.
"If I remember correctly, what alerted the Universe Origin this time was the Kumu Mysterious Object in the hands of the Lord Heng'ao. But that Mysterious Object is not the point at all; the point is the Silk Thread Map in his possession that records information about the Tilted Peak Realm."
"Another Silk Thread Map. According to Feitian, the Mechanical Race Father God was able to obtain the powerful secret technique ' Mechanical God ' because he obtained a map of the Tilted Peak Realm. The Lord Heng'ao also obtained a map of the Tilted Peak Realm. This Tilted Peak Realm has far too many maps."
"The map of the Lord Heng'ao is clearly flawed; it's a mechanical map, which may be the key reason why it was tainted with the aura of the World Beast. If so, this is likely a conspiracy by the World Beast."
Zhang Junbao stood in space, looking out at the distant void.
"Is the threat sensed by the Universe Origin due to the Mysterious Object, or the map tainted with the aura of the World Beast?"
"Only by obtaining the Silk Thread Map' of the Lord Heng'ao can we know all this."
After several teleportations, Zhang Junbao stood in the void of the Heng Ao Secret Realm. With a flick of his hand, a golden toad appeared. The toad's eyes were normal, and its pupils were still dark.
"According to the data, the Heng Ao Secret Realm consists of 12 vast continents, the largest of which is nearly 8 light-years in diameter and the smallest has a diameter of more than 1 light-year."
The Lord Heng'ao is a solitary and Special Lifeform. His strength ranks in the upper-middle range among the Universe Master, enough to support a mid-level race.
"The others only came into contact with the Lord Heng'ao and thus obtained the information; the most important thing is the Lord Heng'ao and his Mysterious Object. In that case, we should just find them directly."
Even before the mission, Zhang Junbao had Feitian's subordinate intelligence investigate the information about the entire Lord Heng'ao. This was an extremely brutal Universe Master treated all life in the Heng Ao Secret Realm like his merchandise, wantonly slaughtering and buying and selling it, and making all life worship the legendary Heng Ao Supreme God. His behavior was disgusting.
"If that's the case, then he has no reason to exist." Zhang Junbao's face turned cold, and the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation instantly covered the entire secret realm. Countless lives on the 12 continents felt an unprecedented terrifying pressure at that moment.
"Time-space lockdown!"
Time and space froze completely in an instant. Countless Immortal God and Universe Venerable were unable to move and could only look into the distance in terror.
"What terrifying spacetime binding force! Is this the great Heng Ao Supreme God punishing us?"
All the powerful beings above the Immortal God scattered throughout the entire secret realm were constantly calling out the name of ' Heng Ao Supreme God '. The entire secret realm instantly turned into black and white, and all other colors faded away.
But the Heng Ao Supreme God they spoke of was now filled with terror.
" Control of Space-Time, this incomparably powerful control is the Domain-type Supreme Treasure!" Lord Heng'ao immediately sensed the abnormality and hurriedly used his Supreme Treasure to resist.
"Who exactly is this super-strong individual who possesses the Domain-type Supreme Treasure, and why has he descended upon my Heng Ao Secret Realm?"
At this moment, Zhang Junbao, who was in the Heng Ao Secret Realm, instantly sensed a force that Control of Space-Time vying with him for Space-Time Control.
"Found you!" Zhang Junbao smiled slightly.
He didn't need to use the golden toad to confirm the location of the Lord Heng'ao. He only needed to use the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation to control the spacetime of the entire secret realm. Ordinary Universe Venerable were simply unable to compete with the Domain-type Supreme Treasure for control. Only Universe Master were granted the ability to ' Control of Space-Time ' by the Original Ancestor could put up some resistance.
Upon Lord Heng'ao's resistance, Zhang Junbao instantly located him.
The next moment, a young man dressed in a scarlet Daoist robe appeared before the Lord Heng'ao, holding a golden toad in his hand, the toad's eyes emitting a dazzling red light.
"So you are the Lord Heng'ao?" Zhang Junbao asked coldly.
"Who are you?" Lord Heng'ao looked at the man in front of him and asked with some doubt in his eyes.
" Zhang Junbao ' Daoist Sanfeng '!" Zhang Junbao said calmly.
Upon hearing this name, the Lord Heng'ao's single eye was immediately filled with shock. "That peerless genius of humanity back then? The terrifying existence who slew the Void True Demon God?"
The Lord Heng'ao does not belong to any super power. He became the Universe Master at the beginning of the universe. Over countless years, his strength has gradually increased, making him a solitary being in the universe with limited access to information.
Even so, he had still heard of the name ' Daoist Sanfeng '.
In the Original Universe, the Universe Supreme Master were few and far between, and the fall of any one of them would be a major event that shook the entire universe. During the war that led to the destruction of the Human Race, two of the Universe Supreme Master were killed by Human Race in succession. Even though the Lord Heng'ao was a recluse for billions of years, he had long heard of Zhang Junbao's name.
"You... ah, no, Your Excellency, what brings you to my Heng Ao Secret Realm?"
The thought of Zhang Junbao's terrifying record, with even the Universe Supreme Master falling at his hands, caused the once arrogant Lord Heng'ao to droop his head by half. It wasn't that he had no temper; in fact, the Lord Heng'ao was an extremely ruthless powerhouse.
However, Zhang Junbao's ruthlessness far surpassed his own by more than a hundred times.
He merely exploited the weak within his own secret realm, while Zhang Junbao had indeed annihilated a peak clan. The Lord Heng'ao was cruel, but not stupid; to confront Zhang Junbao head-on was tantamount to courting death.
Zhang Junbao was surprised by the humility of the Lord Heng'ao. However, he shook his head as he looked at the Golden Toad shimmering with red light in his hand.
"I have come by order of the Ancestral God Sect to annihilate you and the many powerful warriors you have commanded."
The once humble face of the Lord Heng'ao was suddenly filled with astonishment, followed by terror, and then boundless rage.
"Why did the Ancestral God Sect send you to kill me? I, Heng Ao, have always been a loner. I have never offended your Human Race, nor have I offended the Ancestral God Sect!" Lord Heng'ao roared, his face full of grievance.
That pained and helpless expression was enough to break the hearts of anyone who saw it and bring tears to their eyes.
Zhang Junbao raised an eyebrow; the behavior of the Lord Heng'ao was completely different from the information he had received.
"My lord, is there a mistake? Look closely. I, Heng Ao, have always abided by the Universe Laws and have never dared to violate them, nor have I indiscriminately killed innocent people. My reputation for gentleness and kindness has spread throughout the entire Heng Ao Secret Realm." The Lord Heng'ao approached Zhang Junbao with a wronged expression, as if he wanted Zhang Junbao to see his sincerity.
If Zhang Junbao hadn't known beforehand just how ruthless the Lord Heng'ao was, he might have truly been deceived. Which being who has reached the level of Universe Master can be considered gentle and kind?
Just when Lord Heng'ao and Zhang Junbao were only a few hundred kilometers apart, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.
Endless flames erupted from his body, the flames flying everywhere were extremely violent, forming an endless sea of fire that instantly enveloped Zhang Junbao, even burning away the void itself.
"Hahaha, foolish Human Race. You think you can kill me in my Heng Ao Secret Realm? Wishful thinking!"
Endless flames raged wildly over the area where Zhang Junbao was located. The Lord Heng'ao's originally aggrieved face instantly became twisted and ferocious, and he laughed wildly.
" Daoist Sanfeng, I'm not afraid of those scum from the Ancestral God Sect. Even the Universe Supreme Master couldn't kill me. You think you can kill me? The legend that you killed the Universe Supreme Master is a joke."
A little guy who has only cultivated for a little over 100,000 years must have been given a lot of merits by the Human Race. Does he really think those merits are his own?
"Not even the Universe Supreme Master, yet you can kill the Universe Supreme Master in just a few hundred thousand years? How utterly laughable!" Lord Heng'ao laughed wildly.
"Your Domain-type Supreme Treasure is mine!"
The next moment, the Lord Heng'ao held a huge, dark red circular shield in his hand, while his other hand gripped a round hammer. The hammer was bronze in color, stained with blood, and studded with sharp nails, making it look extremely ferocious.
Before Zhang Junbao could react, the Lord Heng'ao's round hammer, carrying boundless power, directly struck the area where Zhang Junbao was located, shattering even the surrounding spacetime into particle streams.
"Hahaha, utterly foolish! So what if you have the Strongest Supreme Treasure? You still fell for my trick. The Ancestral God Sect wants to kill me, so they send a little guy like you? They might as well just give me the Supreme Treasure directly!"
" The Domain-type Supreme Treasure is mine!" Lord Heng'ao roared madly.
"What terrible acting! A direct attack might have earned me some respect." Zhang Junbao's voice came from beside him.
"What makes you think you can ambush me from within my Domain-type Supreme Treasure?"
Zhang Junbao's Strongest Supreme Treasure, the True Martial Sword, was instantly unsheathed. The True Martial Sword condensed the power of the Eight Beast God Paths and was a powerful Supreme Treasure prepared to fight against the World Beast King.
With a single strike, the heavens and earth changed color. The Lord Heng'ao sensed the anomaly and raised his shield to block the sword. However, the blade of the divine sword struck his massive circular shield as easily as slicing through melons and vegetables, splitting the giant shield in two.
The Lord Heng'ao's arm couldn't dodge in time and was also cut into ashes by Zhang Junbao's sword.
At this moment, the Lord Heng'ao finally reacted, and hurriedly dodged and retreated, looking at Zhang Junbao with a look of horror.
"My giant shield is Top-tier Supreme Treasure; unless attacked by the Universe Supreme Master, it's impossible to pierce it. Yet your divine sword can easily unleash the power of this attack—is it also Strongest Supreme Treasure?"
Did you really kill the Universe Supreme Master all by yourself?
It's no wonder that the Lord Heng'ao didn't believe it; the news was simply too shocking. Even as the Universe Master, he found Zhang Junbao's killing of the Universe Supreme Master as unbelievable as a myth.
To possess the power to kill the strongest without reaching the level of the strongest is unprecedented in the history of the Original Universe.
Moreover, Zhang Junbao also possesses two Strongest Supreme Treasure, one of the Domain Type and the other of the attack type. In the Original Universe, there has never been any strongest person who possesses two Strongest Supreme Treasure.
The Lord Heng'ao was utterly shocked. He had originally been greedily planning to ambush Zhang Junbao and seize Zhang Junbao Strongest Supreme Treasure. But now, he was only thinking about how to save his life.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Whether you believe me or not, I'm taking your life today." Zhang Junbao had no intention of letting him go.
The Lord Heng'ao suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, two Strongest Supreme Treasure, it's simply a match made in heaven!"
"Since obtaining it, I have only used it once in the Universe Ocean, and I have never used it in the Original Universe. However, it is well worth it for two Strongest Supreme Treasure!" A red light flashed in the single eye of the Lord Heng'ao. He turned his wrist, and the round hammer in his hand disappeared.
In its place stood a strange black object, which, upon its appearance, radiated boundless power.
"Is this the Mysterious Object?" Even without seeing the Golden Toad, Zhang Junbao could sense the immense power contained within this black object.
The Mysterious Object resembled a giant black log covered with bizarre patterns. These patterns formed intertwined semicircles, completely different from the Secret Pattern Diagram found in the Original Universe.
However, Zhang Junbao could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from it.
"The ' Mysterious Object ' that even the Original Universe Origin Will fears is a piece of black wood. The patterns on this wood are completely different from the Secret Pattern Diagram of the Original Universe, yet it can emit power far exceeding that of Peak Supreme Treasure and approaching that of Strongest Supreme Treasure. It is indeed very worthy of study."
Zhang Junbao looked with great interest at the Mysterious Object in the hands of the Lord Heng'ao.
"I used it last time, and with just one move, I annihilated a Universe Master. It's perfect for dealing with you now!" Lord Heng'ao stroked the black wood, staring coldly at Zhang Junbao and laughing.
