The Guixu Secret Realm, a dangerous place in Ruin Wind Mountain.
Several figures dodged through layers of black hurricanes and fell towards a vast landmass with a diameter of trillions of kilometers.
It just landed.
They saw a valley that had been carved out, and the Ganwu Country Lord beside it.
" Ganwu, you've really struck it lucky! You've discovered so many Void Star Stone!"
"Could it be that what Beiming discovered before was just a small branch, and now you, Ganwu, have discovered the main branch?"
"If this place were entirely composed of Void Star Stone, how much would it contain? The entire mineral vein would probably stretch for trillions of kilometers!"
"We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich this time!"
" Ganwu, you're simply our lucky star!"
This five-person team has been in this dangerous place for many years. Several Universe Venerable joined forces and they had almost exhausted the previous mineral vein. Everyone had a premonition that there might be other mineral veins nearby, so they split up to search. Unexpectedly, Ganwu found them!
The Ganwu Country Lord could not hide his excitement.
really.
Having not ventured out for a long time, my luck has accumulated.
If all these Void Star Stone were mined, his share alone would be enough to pay off all his debts.
He smiled broadly and waved his hand, saying, "It's all thanks to Beiming and you guys. If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have discovered such a wonderful opportunity."
"Haha, Ganwu, don't be modest. You were the one who found the target this time. As agreed, you'll keep three portions for yourself, and we'll split the rest."
Venerable Beiming spoke.
"Sure, I'm fine with it."
The Ganwu Country Lord nodded; these were all pre-arranged distribution plans, and he did not refuse.
Thirty percent of the Void Star Stone —if I sold them all, hehehehe—
Venerable Lei Ming also smiled broadly and said, "Although this place is secluded, many Universe Venerable have recently arrived in dangerous areas, so it's inevitable that we'll be discovered by others. Everyone should hurry up and get to work. Dig as much as you can—and I just checked, if this Void Star Stone vein is large enough, it might produce Void Spirit Marrow, which is truly a treasure!"
" Void Spirit Marrow? No way, this thing hasn't appeared in so many years!" Venerable Leiying exclaimed in surprise.
"I recall the last time the Void Spirit Marrow appeared, Yan Emperor had not yet betrayed the Human Race," the Ganwu Country Lord said after thinking for a moment.
"That's too long—it shouldn't be that long, that thing is extremely rare. Not to mention us, even the Universe Master desperately desires it."
"Yes, the Universe Master can increase Gene Multiplier, and this Void Spirit Marrow is one of the best treasures of this kind."
O
"Never mind all that, let's mine! Whether or not we have the Void Spirit Marrow, these Void Star Stone are enough to make us rich!"
Yes, yes, yes!
Several Universe Venerable dared not delay and each used their methods to excavate the Void Star Stone.
While everyone was digging with great enthusiasm...
A white, spindle-shaped palace hurtled towards them, hurtling through countless hurricanes. Even Universe Venerable had to be careful to avoid it, as the black hurricanes could destroy a divine body if one was not careful. Yet, they could not leave even the slightest trace on the white palace.
"According to Watasi, the coordinates should be here."
Once again, we passed through a black hurricane.
Inside the palace, the white Sky Wolf gazed down at the vast continent below, a ruthless glint in its eyes.
" The Human Race's Universe Venerable —damn it—even if we kill them, the Human Race's higher-ups will definitely find out everything that happened here."
Facing five High Venerable, one of whom was close to the level of a hegemon, the Sky Wolf in the palace did not care at all. Instead, he regretted that he could not kill them all at the same time.
If he cannot kill it, then he may not be able to find the Void Spirit Marrow and bring it back before the arrival of the Human Race high command.
"Asshole!"
Sky Wolf's eyes flashed with rage as he charged straight downwards.
Such is the change.
The Ganwu Country Lord and his companions naturally noticed this as well.
"That's the White Needle — Palace-type Supreme Treasure —it belongs to the Demon Race!"
Venerable Lei Ming's expression changed drastically.
The others also paled upon hearing the name.
The White Needle —a Supreme Treasure Palace born on the Primal Star, which caused countless battles among powerful beings. In the end, it was obtained by a Universe Master of the Demon Race. Although it has never appeared in the world for so many years, once it does, it will surely be a powerful being of the Demon Race!
"Go! Split up!"
The Venerable Lei Ming transmitted his voice.
The others didn't dare hesitate either, fleeing in all directions. Someone possessing Palace Supreme Treasure and charging towards the five of them couldn't possibly be an ordinary Universe Venerable; they were highly likely the Demon Race Universe Master.
The Universe Master Control of Space-Time; if they disperse and try to escape, there is still a sliver of hope for their survival.
"Run! Let's see where you run to!"
The expected Control of Space-Time did not materialize. The Palace Supreme Treasure caught up with the strongest Venerable Lei Ming at an extremely fast speed and crashed into him.
"Boom!"
Venerable Lei Ming let out a muffled groan, his armor gleaming as he was thrust into the black hurricane.
The black hurricane tore at his divine body like a hungry wolf, but it was all blocked by the Supreme Treasure Armor.
"Luckily, I had the Supreme Treasure Armor protecting me, otherwise I would have been in serious trouble!"
Venerable Lei Ming was pale and felt a lingering fear. He glanced back at the others, but without stopping, he rushed out.
As he fled, he reported the situation to the higher-ups of the Human Race.
Damn it!
Sensing that Venerable Lei Ming was not dead, Sky Wolf's expression in the palace grew even more gloomy. His blood-red vertical pupils swept across the area and immediately locked onto his target again.
While others must carefully avoid danger to escape, the Supreme Treasure Palace allows for unbridled movement, making it difficult to hunt down and kill someone.
The Ganwu Country Lord had already escaped far away and thought everything was fine, but unexpectedly, the white palace reappeared behind him.
Why me?
The Ganwu Country Lord was stunned!
Of the five, he possessed the fewest treasures and was the weakest. Why were they chasing him?
This time, Sky Wolf did not use the Palace Supreme Treasure, the White Needle, to strike the Ganwu Country Lord. Instead, after catching up, he appeared directly behind him.
" The Venerable Tianhua —it's actually the Venerable Tianhua of the Demon Race!"
The Ganwu Country Lord was filled with despair.
Although encountering Venerable Tianhua was somewhat better than encountering Universe Master, it wasn't much better. Venerable Tianhua was Top Universe Overlord of the Demon Race, with immense strength, no weaker than a newly ascended Universe Master.
" Ganwu Country Lord —stop struggling, just die!"
Venerable Tianhua accelerated instantly.
A pair of enormous golden iron hammers slammed down towards the Ganwu Country Lord. From the Ganwu Country Lord's perspective, the golden hammers resembled two massive Star Level, and the power they contained was far beyond his reach.
Another black hurricane loomed ahead.
There's no escaping it now.
There's no stopping it!
The Ganwu Country Lord felt a pang of regret. He should have listened to his disciple Longjing's advice and not ventured out. This time, the loss of True Treasure was bad enough, but the debt for resurrection would increase considerably.
" Venerable Tianhua —you wait! My disciple will avenge me sooner or later!"
The Ganwu Country Lord uttered a harsh statement.
He chose a dignified way to die.
With a loud bang.
When the golden hammer came crashing down, the Ganwu Country Lord chose to self-destruct—the immense energy propelled the surrounding black hurricanes far away, even blowing away the pursuing Venerable Tianhua.
However, such an impact did not pose a significant threat to Venerable Tianhua.
With his own Gene Level two thousand times higher and the protection of Supreme Treasure, the power of the Ganwu Country Lord's self-destruction, though strong, was dispersed in all directions and could not cause him any damage, only leaving him slightly disheveled.
"You still dare to dream that your disciple will avenge you? What a joke!"
Venerable Tianhua scoffed, feeling that the Ganwu Country Lord was simply delusional. Even he himself couldn't withstand a single blow from the Venerable Tianhua, yet he thought he could rely on his disciple for revenge?
With a flick of his claw, he collected the storage device belonging to the Ganwu Country Lord.
When the Universe Venerable go on adventures, they always use extremely sturdy minerals to protect their storage containers.
If it were an ordinary World Ring, a single gust of wind here would destroy it, rendering it unusable.
The Heavy Treasure Armor suffered some damage during the self-destruction, but the Top-Tier Heavy Treasure weapon remained completely unaffected.
"Pah, you poor wretch!"
After examining the spoils, Venerable Tianhua couldn't help but curse. Two True Treasure, one of which was damaged, and the rest were worthless weapons. Besides that, there were some Void Star Stone, not many in number, but there were more than ten thousand Guixu Soul Fruit —but what use were these? Venerable Tianhua even complained that they took up too much space in his World Ring.
After a casual glance, Venerable Tianhua put away the Ganwu Country Lord's items with a look of disgust. He did not chase after the others, but instead manipulated the Palace Supreme Treasure, the White Needle, and smashed it violently into the mountain below.
The mountain range was smashed open—countless star stones were revealed. He casually collected the Void Star Stone in front of him and then dug deeper—he had to determine whether there was any Void Spirit Marrow here before the Human Race experts arrived. If there was, he would take it directly—that thing was an extremely precious treasure to him.
The Ancestral God Secret Realm, within a manor on Bauhinia Mountain.
The Longjing Venerable, who was in the middle of cultivation, slowly got up, feeling only agitated.
Logically speaking, now that he has become Universe Venerable and has taken in True Yan King as his worthy junior disciple, he shouldn't have any worries.
"Could it be the teacher—"
--
The Longjing Venerable thought of his teacher, who was planning to venture into the Guixu Secret Realm.
He immediately sent emails and made phone calls in the Virtual Universe, but received no reply.
His expression changed slightly, and he took out a dark brown token from his World Ring.
Looking at the token, it appeared dull and lifeless.
The Longjing Venerable slumped into his chair with a thud, his expression a mixture of sadness and disbelief.
"Our old teacher has passed away again!"
The Longjing Venerable looked very unwell, and he hurriedly contacted his junior brother Lu Qingshan in the Virtual Universe.
Thunder Mountain, Virtual Universe.
"Senior Brother Longjing, I am aware of this matter." Lu Qingshan replied to an email, then looked at the ashamed-looking Venerable Beiming on the other end.
" Venerable Beiming, how exactly did my teacher perish?"
Venerable Beiming sighed and said, "It was Venerable Tianhua of the Demon Race — Ganwu and I, a group of five, were overjoyed to discover that enormous Void Star Stone mine. Who knew that our joy would turn to sorrow when we ran into Venerable Tianhua? He manipulates the flying Palace Supreme Treasure; once he chooses to pursue someone, in that environment, no one can escape—"
The Venerable Beiming recounted everything that happened after he teamed up with the group of Ganwu.
After listening, Lu Qingshan nodded and said, " Venerable Beiming, you don't need to blame yourself. Although your teacher has perished, there is still a chance for resurrection. It's just a few Supreme Treasure Point, after all. I will find a way."
" Qingshan, don't be impulsive. That Venerable Tianhua is Top Universe Overlord —very powerful—and possesses the Palace Supreme Treasure. Even ordinary Universe Master cannot do anything to him."
The Venerable Beiming felt that Lu Qingshan was too calm.
"I know what's important. Even if I were to deal with Venerable Tianhua to avenge my teacher, that would be something I do after I become the Universe Master," Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"It's good that you know. The Universe Venerable will definitely be resurrected by the clan, so don't be too sad." Venerable Beiming stood up and continued, "I'm going to visit Venerable Lei Ming. He also suffered great losses in his divine body this time. We've already reported this matter to the clan, and the clan's strongmen should be going to investigate soon."
