Just as the Black Divine Wood appeared, in a remote region of the Original Universe, a desolate planet suddenly exploded, and an incomparably powerful figure burst out, staring intently at a direction in the universe.
"This fluctuation... it's Mysterious Object! That location is in the direction of the Yuan Ao Secret Realm. Could it be that the Lord Heng'ao obtained Mysterious Object?" The powerful figure sneered. "What an idiot! To actually bring such a Mysterious Object back to the Original Universe. No wonder, the Master of Yuan Ao is a solitary Universe Master. He probably kept it hidden after obtaining the Mysterious Object, not letting others know."
Naturally, no one told him that the Primal Universe vehemently rejected such Mysterious Object.
"It's likely that the Original Universe sensed the existence of this Mysterious Object long ago and ordered the powerful members of the Ancestral God Sect to kill it. Mysterious Object are extremely rare even in the Universe Ocean, and in the Original Universe, they are even rarer, appearing only once every billions of years. Although they cannot compare to the Strongest Supreme Treasure, they are very close."
The appearance of this Mysterious Object has likely alerted even the Universe Supreme Master in the Original Universe. I must hurry there.
It wasn't just that powerful figure; all the forces in the Original Universe that possessed the Universe Supreme Master — the Demon Race, the Zerg, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, and others—sensed the appearance of the Mysterious Object and dispatched their respective Universe Master to it.
Inside the Yuan Ao Secret Realm, the Master of Yuan Ao stared greedily at Zhang Junbao, his eyes filled with smugness.
"So what if you have Strongest Supreme Treasure? Although I don't have Strongest Supreme Treasure, the power of this Mysterious Object far surpasses that of ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure, and it is entirely possible for it to be comparable to Strongest Supreme Treasure."
You've only been cultivating for a short time, and you've only had the Strongest Supreme Treasure for a very short time, so you certainly can't comprehend it deeply. If you had a Strongest Supreme Treasure of the armor type, I would have some concerns, but unfortunately, you don't.
Die! Your Strongest Supreme Treasure is mine now!
Suddenly, the Master of Yuan Ao roared, " Burning Annihilation!"
This was the Strongest Secret Technique he had ever comprehended. With a roar, a dazzling and enormous vortex of flame appeared in the void, enveloping him and causing his aura to rise continuously.
Zhang Junbao coldly observed the Master of Yuan Ao's madness and let out a sigh.
Ignorance is truly terrifying.
" Master of Yuan Ao, what makes you think that a mere Mysterious Object can withstand the combined attack of my two Strongest Supreme Treasure? From the moment you unleashed that Mysterious Object, you have already lost."
" The Zhou Heavenly Stars, suppressing the void of the universe!"
The enormous black and white Taiji Diagram instantly enveloped the surging aura of Master of Yuan Ao. The endless flames that had illuminated the entire void collapsed instantly, leaving only a few embers remaining on a black, Kumu, revealing that Master of Yuan Ao had once unleashed his strongest secret technique.
"This... how is this possible?"
The once arrogant Master of Yuan Ao was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the Black Divine Wood in his hand.
The more arrogant he was before, the more pathetic he became now.
"This is Mysterious Divine Wood that far surpasses even the Peak Supreme Treasure, why is this happening?"
" Master of Yuan Ao, your ignorance is truly astonishing."
"I'd rather you just turn into cosmic dust in your ignorance." Zhang Junbao shook his head, too lazy to waste words with him.
The True Martial Demon-Subduing Sword in his hand shimmered with seven-colored light. It was a simple and unadorned sword strike, yet it carried the power to destroy the world as it slashed down towards the Master of Yuan Ao.
"Impossible! I went through so much trouble to obtain this Mysterious Object. It can even easily kill the Universe Master. How could it not be able to unleash its power?"
"Come on, let me see the power of the Strongest Supreme Treasure Divine Sword!" Master of Yuan Ao roared madly, instantly restoring his true divine body. His enormous divine body, millions of kilometers tall, stood in the void, holding Black Divine Wood that had also expanded to millions of kilometers in size, wanting to confront Zhang Junbao's Strongest Supreme Treasure Divine Sword head-on.
The boundless power generated by ' Burning Annihilation ' was all concentrated on the Black Divine Wood, causing wisps of Black Divine Wood energy to rise around it.
Zhang Junbao's eyes lit up immediately.
" Power of Destruction!"
He finally discovered the Power of Destruction hidden within the Black Divine Wood, Power of Destruction possessed only by the World Beast of the Universe Ocean.
No wonder the Original Universe Origin Will so rejected the Master of Yuan Ao; it turns out he really was connected to the World Beast.
"In that case, they absolutely must die!"
Zhang Junbao's eyes turned cold, and he swung his divine sword down with all his might. Compared to the Black Divine Wood that had been magnified to millions of kilometers, his Strongest Supreme Treasure sword was like a tiny embroidery needle.
But just as the two treasures collided, they unleashed an unprecedented and terrifying power.
Bang bang bang!!!
The Original Universe void continued to collapse, with countless void fragments flying everywhere like shattered glass, directly cutting some surrounding planets into perfectly smooth fragments.
Zhang Junbao did not retreat an inch, while the Master of Yuan Ao was directly blasted millions of kilometers away by the terrifying impact.
He stared blankly at the sacred wood in his hands, his hands trembling uncontrollably from the earlier collision.
"Impossible! One percent of my divine body has been annihilated!"
"Even the Strongest Supreme Treasure couldn't be this strong!"
"You don't even possess the Strongest Supreme Treasure, yet you make wild guesses; it's utterly laughable."
Zhang Junbao's figure suddenly disappeared before the Master of Yuan Ao's eyes. The next moment, the Master of Yuan Ao felt that he could not move. The surrounding void was completely frozen, and his ' Control of Space-Time ' had failed.
"You have offended the Universe Origin Will, yet you still dare to presume to obtain the ' Control of Space-Time ' bestowed upon you by the origin? Killing you will not only spare you from punishment, but will also bring you favor."
When the Master of Yuan Ao heard Zhang Junbao's voice again, his divine body had already been completely annihilated by the True Martial Sword.
"Why..."
In the void, the incredulous voice of the Master of Yuan Ao echoed, but unfortunately, he would never know the answer.
"I planned for so long, waiting for the arrival of various forces from across the universe, but now they haven't even come yet, and I've been killed. Everything has come to nothing..."
The Control of Space-Time is a secret technique bestowed upon the Lord of the Universe by the Universe Origin of the Universe Master. However, the Master of Yuan Ao has been rejected by the Universe Origin and can no longer receive its favor. Therefore, he can no longer use the Control of Space-Time.
A Universe Master cannot even fully control space and time is powerless before Zhang Junbao's Domain-type Supreme Treasure treasure.
Under the Space-Time Control, Master of Yuan Ao had no chance to dodge at all. Zhang Junbao, who Teleportation behind him, unleashed tens of thousands of attacks in an instant, directly annihilating his divine body.
At the last moment, the Master of Yuan Ao, with his dying strength, actually took out a piece of black and gold mottled silk cloth from the World Ring.
The Black Divine Wood, now out of control, drifted in the void, its surface still swirling with black energy. A remnant of a World Ring lay nearby.
"That's... the Silk Thread Map? The Master of Yuan Ao even wanted to retrieve it before his death. What force was driving him behind the scenes?" Zhang Junbao was very surprised. He originally thought that this Silk Thread Map would be as hard to find as the mechanical one, but he did not expect that the Master of Yuan Ao would retrieve it even at the cost of his life.
Did he originally intend for someone else to get the map?
Just as Zhang Junbao was about to acquire the Black Divine Wood and the Silk Thread Map, a powerful force surged into his domain.
" The Mysterious Object is mine!"
A loud shout rang out in the void, and the newcomer unleashed a powerful aura, directly confronting Zhang Junbao's Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, attempting to invade the domain and seize the Mysterious Object.
" The Universe Supreme Master!"
Zhang Junbao only had time to collect the Silk Thread Map and the World Ring before the Black Divine Wood was forcibly blasted away by a golden flame.
boom!
In the endless void, a blurry figure gradually solidified. It was a blurry human figure formed from golden flames, and he was wearing a deep black armor.
As soon as the golden fire giant clad in black armor appeared, a huge phantom formed behind him, as if countless Star were rising and falling, creating another universe.
" The Black Universe Founder!" Zhang Junbao said coldly.
Upon seeing the suddenly appearing powerful figure, Zhang Junbao recognized his identity.
The Black Universe Founder, one of the Universe Supreme Master in the Original Universe, was a solitary being in the universe. His true form was a flame life form, and he possessed the Strongest Supreme Treasure, the Black Universe Divine Armor. He had a wild and unrestrained personality, even more arrogant than the fallen Void True Demon God.
"Human ' Daoist Sanfeng,' this black Mysterious Object is mine!" the Black Universe Founder declared in a piercing voice.
The Black Universe Founder naturally recognized Zhang Junbao. He was one of the powerful figures hidden in the void during the war when the alliance destroyed the Human Race. However, he had no opportunity to take advantage of the situation at the time, so he left in embarrassment.
Although he knew that Zhang Junbao possessed combat power at the level of the Universe Supreme Master, he did not give in the slightest when faced with the treasure.
He twisted space and time, attempting to pull the Black Divine Wood directly out of Zhang Junbao's domain.
" Black Universe, do you think my Human Race is afraid of you?"
With a roar, Zhang Junbao stomped his right foot into the void. Instantly, the void spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers was frozen, firmly fixing the Black Divine Wood within his domain.
Seeing that the Mysterious Object that was about to be obtained had been stopped, the Black Universe Founder immediately threw a punch at Zhang Junbao.
Golden flames, tinged with starlight, condensed in his hands into a gigantic fiery fist. Wherever it went, space and time were shattered into streams of particles and evaporated into nothingness. The surrounding space and time, which had been frozen solid like ice, seemed to melt away inch by inch as if it had encountered a scorching iron rod.
The Black Universe Founder grabbed the tail of the Black Divine Wood with one hand, attempting to escape directly into the Space Interlayer of the Dark Universe.
However--
A seven-colored sword light struck, directly hitting the Black Divine Wood and blasting it away once more. Then, 10,081 Primal Star formed a giant Star net, enveloping the Black Universe Founder within it.
"You think you can suppress me with Domain-type Supreme Treasure? Do you think I'm as foolish as the Void True Demon God? I'm not the Universe Supreme Master who achieved this through the Illusion Dao!"
"My attacks far surpass those of the Void True Demon God!"
boom!
The Black Universe Founder's original fiery body transformed into 10,081 giant golden hands. In an instant, the arms swung, and the shadows of fists shattered the void, actually blasting the Primal Star away.
Zhang Junbao was startled and quickly commanded the Primal Star to form an encirclement again, but the Black Universe Founder had already escaped.
"As expected of the Universe Supreme Master in the Flame Dao, his attack power is far superior to that of the Void True Demon God." Seeing this result, Zhang Junbao had no choice but to be cautious.
This was the second time he had faced the Universe Supreme Master alone. But unlike the last time, the Void True Demon God was the strongest being who achieved his power through the Illusion Dao. His strongest Soul Attack technique was restrained by the Origin Clone Universe, and could not be used.
But the Black Universe Founder is different. Born with a life form of fire, his attack power is not to be underestimated even in the Original Universe.
" Daoist Sanfeng, you are not the Universe Supreme Master, and you do not possess Miniature Universe. Even if you obtain this Mysterious Divine Wood, you will be rejected by the Universe Origin, making you nothing more than a burden. You might as well exchange it with me. If you give me this Mysterious Object, I am willing to exchange it for five Peak Supreme Treasure!"
For a solitary and powerful being like the Black Universe Founder, there are only a few Supreme Treasure that he can use. He has no clan burdens, so whatever Supreme Treasure he obtains are his own.
Therefore, he possesses many Peak Supreme Treasure that he can freely exchange, without needing to consider the interests of his clan.
The moment they clashed, he knew he couldn't possibly snatch the Black Divine Wood from Zhang Junbao in a short time, let alone kill him.
He wasn't like the Master of Yuan Ao, an ignorant loner who lived only in his own world and was completely ignorant of some common cosmic knowledge. That's why he thought he could use a single Mysterious Object to fight against Zhang Junbao's two Strongest Supreme Treasure, and even wanted to seize his Strongest Supreme Treasure.
The appearance of the Mysterious Object must have been sensed by the Universe Supreme Master as well. He was the first to arrive, but he did not expect that Zhang Junbao had already dealt with the Master of Yuan Ao. If he had been any later, he would not have even seen the Mysterious Object.
" Black Universe, I may not have Miniature Universe, but my Human Race has Giant Axe. You don't mean to think that because I haven't cultivated for long enough, I don't recognize this Black Divine Wood as Mysterious Object from the Universe Ocean, and you're trying to deceive me, do you?" Zhang Junbao sneered, directly seeing through the Black Universe Founder's thoughts.
Seeing that Zhang Junbao was not fooled, the Black Universe Founder's eyes immediately turned cold.
" Daoist Sanfeng, this is the Original Universe. Although your Human Race is powerful now, it's best not to make too many enemies. I advise you to hand over the Mysterious Divine Wood and trade with me. You won't lose out!" the Black Universe Founder said coldly.
" Black Universe, you possess the Strongest Supreme Treasure armor, and you are the Universe Supreme Master. Why would you make an enemy of Human Race for a Mysterious Object rejected by the Primal Universe?"
Zhang Junbao also didn't want to fight him. A large part of the reason he was able to kill the Void True Demon God was because he had infiltrated his Miniature Universe. However, the Black Universe Founder had never had any connection with him, and Zhang Junbao didn't know his weaknesses. It would be extremely difficult to suppress him directly.
His purpose was merely to access the black energy residing within the Mysterious Divine Wood, an energy absolutely connected to the World Beast. As for the Silk Thread Map recording the core area of the Tilted Peak Realm, it was released by the Master of Yuan Ao before his death.
Fortunately, the Black Universe Founder did not seem to possess this Silk Thread Map.
However, the Black Universe Founder was also extremely angry.
As the Universe Supreme Master, he had already humbled himself by negotiating a deal with Zhang Junbao, yet he was still rejected. He already possessed the Strongest Supreme Treasure Armor, and although the Mysterious Divine Wood was not a Supreme Treasure Weapon, its power was second only to the Strongest Supreme Treasure. If he could obtain it, even if he was rejected by the Universe Origin, as long as he entered the Universe Ocean, he could become the strongest among the Universe Supreme Master.
At this moment, only Zhang Junbao was vying with him for the Black Divine Wood Mysterious Object, and the killing intent in the heart of the Black Universe Founder gradually emerged.
" The Human Race Giant Axe has sensed the appearance of the Mysterious Object and will likely arrive soon. Then, I will have no more chances. Daoist Sanfeng, since you are unwilling to trade with me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Black Universe Founder, whose body was originally composed of golden flames, now had a wisp of white light appearing within it.
