The Universe Ocean, in the Endless void.
Lu Qingshan and the Giant Axe stood amidst the Chaos currents, gazing at the Endless, majestic Universe Boat countless light-years away.
Even though he had read countless documents and seen the Virtual Universe model of the Universe Boat, Lu Qingshan was still incredibly shocked when he saw this behemoth in person.
"That's the Universe Boat..."
The Giant Axe's thick fingers pointed forward.
"Although it looks close, we are actually hundreds of millions of light-years away from the Universe Boat. The Universe Boat is enormous, hundreds of millions of light-years long and tens of millions of light-years high, but it is in ruins."
"It is indeed damaged."
Lu Qingshan could clearly see the appearance of this majestic warship, the countless broken pieces along the edge of the hull, and the numerous cracks.
It looked like a warship that had just survived a fierce naval battle and was about to sink into the sea.
The Chaos airflow beside the Universe Boat was extremely weak, because the Universe Boat Chaos absorbed all of it. Its terrifying suction power disintegrated the Chaos airflow, creating terrifying dangers in various places. In some places, flames were boiling, while in others, Bing Chuan covered the area.
Lightning, rays of light, rubble... the ten Fusion Law of the Primal Universe were now fully materialized before us.
Of course, that wasn't the most shocking part. The most shocking part was the Small Universe that were pulled into the Universe Boat, already half-swallowed. "Those were the Small Universe of the Universe Supreme Master who had perished many times before the Reincarnation Era. They were broken and out of control, and were drawn here by the Universe Boat Universe Boat, where they were slowly swallowed up. However, this process was very long... Since my birth, the Universe Boat has only swallowed a few broken Small Universe."
In terms of size, the Universe Boat and the Universe Supreme Master, the Small Universe, are not much different, but it can swallow the Small Universe.
This can only be described as a miracle.
The Giant Axe continued, "Where the Universe Boat came from is unknown, not even to the Holy Land Universe. It seems to have always existed in the Universe Ocean, enduring countless Reincarnation Era, and no one has been able to shake it... But there are also rumors that it is related to Ancient Civilization. In an extremely ancient era, a very powerful and brilliant civilization was born in our Universe Ocean, and this Universe Boat was created by that civilization. Of course, this is just speculation; there is no other evidence to prove the existence of that civilization..."
It's not surprising that the powerful beings in the Universe Ocean would think this way.
Of the Three Great Forbidden Lands, Tilted Peak Realm and Liuzhong Mountain are relatively safe, as they can be said to have been naturally formed by the Universe Ocean.
But this thing... is clearly an incomprehensible advanced mechanical warship. This thing could not possibly have been created naturally; it was obviously man-made.
For example, those Black Pattern Stone Pillar, those secret chambers, and that Tomb Ship —no one would believe that these were formed naturally.
The reason behind this was unclear to the Giant Axe Founder, but Lu Qingshan knew it perfectly well.
This Universe Boat is a mechanical warship of the Wu Kingdom. Its purpose in heading to the Universe Ocean is to Enslave World Beast and complete its revenge. This purpose is exactly the same as that of the Sitting Mountain Guest, and even predates the Sitting Mountain Guest's arrival.
But they all failed. Under the intervention of the Supreme Rule, the God King Sitting Mountain Guest still had a chance to catch his breath, but the Wu Kingdom's army was completely wiped out... The last bit of life force of this powerful nation was also completely cut off in the Universe Ocean.
However, due to the interference of the Will of the Original Universe, he could not and had no need to reveal these things. As for who else in the entire Universe Ocean might know about this, perhaps the Progenitor of the Two Holy Land Universes could guess.
According to the intelligence he obtained, the Two Great Holy Lands had the most powerful explorers on the Universe Boat, and many dangerous areas on the Universe Boat were guarded by powerful individuals, treating them as their own spheres of influence. Clearly... they were eager to obtain what they wanted from this Universe Boat.
Both Tilted Peak Realm and Liuzhong Mountain are among the Three Great Forbidden Lands, yet they do not receive the same treatment.
The Giant Axe Founder and Lu Qingshan Teleportation once again.
In less than half a day, the Giant Axe Founder and Lu Qingshan arrived near the Universe Boat. Here, the entire universe could no longer be seen; only huge black fragments could be seen, each fragment larger than a Cosmic Secret Realm.
However, these fragments, pulled by the Universe Boat, remained as one with it despite being broken, and even the Universe Supreme Master Universe Boat not separate them.
The Universe Boat is to the Universe Ocean what the Star Tower was to the Outer Domain Battlefield. All the powerful beings know it is there, but no one can shake it. Even if the strongest beings join forces, they cannot budge it in the slightest.
" Chaos and Darkness are currently on that fragment of the Universe Boat ahead, which is also our Hongmeng Alliance's base on the Universe Boat. Let's go and join them."
The Giant Axe axe spoke.
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
In just a moment... they landed on a fragment of a Universe Boat. This fragment was about a hundred light-years in diameter, surrounded by countless terrifying vortexes of wind, forming a natural barrier. The suction power of these vortexes was no less than that of Peak Palace Supreme Treasure. Top Universe Overlord and weaker Universe Master would probably find it difficult to move an inch here.
But this is only the outermost edge of the universe, and only a part of a fragment. One can imagine how dangerous the interior, Outer Domain, Inner Domain, and core areas of the Universe Boat are.
Two figures approached.
It was the Lord of Darkness, shrouded in a black robe, and the Lord Peng Gong, dressed in loose-fitting battle armor.
" Giant Axe, Myriad Laws... you've finally arrived."
Lord Peng Gong grinned, looking very happy.
"What about the others?"
"The Giant Axe Founder asked."
" Huang Jian and Ice Peak have gone to explore the Outer Domain of the Universe Boat. Chaos recently felt that his strength had improved, so he went into seclusion to cultivate. Peng Gong and I are here to protect Chaos."
"That's what the Lord of Darkness replied."
The Giant Axe Founder and Lu Qingshan exchanged a glance, their eyes both flashing with anticipation.
They successively annihilated King Zhen Jia and Haolei Star Lord, obtaining the blessing of the Will of the Original Universe. This blessing... Lu Qingshan and the Giant Axe Founder both used it to enhance the potential of the Human Race. It's unknown whether Chaos's sudden seclusion is related to this.
If there is a connection, the Chaos City Lord might have a considerable chance of breaking through to the realm of the Universe Supreme Master.
" Chaos said he has seen the path ahead clearly, and the path he is taking is fine and can be broken through... This seclusion is also to try and see if he can break through the final bottleneck."
The Lord of Darkness explained.
"It seems that our Human Race is about to produce its third Universe Supreme Master."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
The Chaos City Lord suddenly went into seclusion, and did not even appear to greet them, which clearly showed that this seclusion was very important to him.
"This is all Myriad Laws and Giant Axe. The other Universe Master of our Human Race were all astonished to learn that you joined forces to kill King Zhen Jia and Haolei Star Lord. Now, all the forces in the Universe Ocean are very polite to our Human Race! The dangers of going out to explore have been greatly reduced."
Lord Peng Gong smiled and replied.
"Oh, right." As if remembering something, he continued, "Darkness and I swept away many treasures from the Small Universe of King Zhen Jia and Haolei Star Lord, far more than the accumulated wealth of our Human Race. A small portion was stored in the Race Treasury, while the majority was sent to the Initial Universe and given to Chaos."
"You've worked hard. If any of those treasures are suitable for you, you can take them for yourselves; there's no need to exchange them for Supreme Treasure Point."
"Haha, we each kept a few pieces," the Lord of Darkness and the Lord Peng Gong said with a laugh.
The group walked together into the palace. The Giant Axe Founder glanced into the depths of the palace and then said, "Darkness, Peng Gong, I'll stay here and look after things. You can rest assured. If you wish to venture out to the Universe Boat, you may leave."
At the crucial moment when the Chaos City Lord was in seclusion, the Giant Axe Founder planned to stay there and wait for the Chaos City Lord to finish his seclusion.
"With your Giant Axe here, no one can disturb Chaos's cultivation. There's no point in us staying. Lord of Myriad Laws, we plan to venture into the Inner Domain of Universe Boat. Would you like to come with us?" Lord Peng Gong turned to the Lord of Myriad Laws and asked.
"I plan to go to the Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar, is the route the same?"
Lu Qingshan smiled and did not refuse to go with him.
The Black Pattern Stone Pillar of the Universe Boat has its own name among the various forces in the Universe Ocean, while the Human Race prefers to call it the Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar.
"We plan to go to the Death Ice Prison. We've been exploring there for a while, so we're relatively familiar with it."
"That's what the Lord of Darkness replied."
The Death Ice Prison is an extremely dangerous place within the Inner Domain of Universe Boat. It is rumored to be where the Universe Boat imprisons prisoners, and the battles there are fierce. The probability of finding Supreme Treasure is also relatively high.
Both the Lord of Darkness and the Lord Peng Gong are Fifth Order Peak Universe Master, so there's naturally no problem for them to venture there.
However, the Death Ice Prison and the Black Pattern Stone Pillar are not in the same direction; their routes only overlap for a short distance. "In that case, you all go to the Death Ice Prison, and I will head to the Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar alone."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
" Myriad Laws... did you go to that Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar to temper your will?"
"The Giant Axe Founder asked curiously."
"Yes and no."
Lu Qingshan took out a pot of fine wine and several wine cups, filled one cup, and took a small sip.
"Besides tempering one's will, what other purpose does that Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar serve?"
Lord Peng Gong also raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The Giant Axe chuckled and said, "That Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar is also engraved with many ancient secret runes. Perhaps the Lord of Myriad Laws, besides tempering his will, also had the idea of studying those ancient traditions."
Not entirely.
Lu Qingshan smiled.
Then he placed his hand on the table, his palm sliding slightly, and three black cosmic tokens and a cyan Universe Boat Token appeared on the table. "I went to the Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar mainly to see if any good things were left in the spaces contained within these tokens."
Given Lu Qingshan's status among the Human Race, let alone these few tokens, even if there were ten times more, no one would dare to covet them.
"So many Universe Boat Token!"
The Lord of Darkness and the Lord Peng Gong were astonished.
The Hongmeng Alliance also possesses two Black Token from the Universe Boat, one in the hands of the Human Race and the other in the hands of the Hongmeng Alliance Universe Master.
That is the accumulation of countless eras.
Unexpectedly, the Lord of Myriad Laws took out four pieces, one of which was a Azure Token, which was even more high-grade than the Black Token.
" Lord of Myriad Laws, could these tokens have been left behind by the powerful being who left the map of the Universe Boat?"
"The Giant Axe Founder asked."
Lu Qingshan simply smiled slightly, which was taken as tacit agreement.
He continued, "I'll go check out those spaces first. After I've finished exploring, I'll put these tokens in the Race Treasury. If you find anything of value during your exploration of the Universe Boat, you won't need to return to the Primal Universe; you can go to the Heaven-Reaching Demon Pillar to cultivate and store your treasures."
" Myriad Laws, thank you so much! I'll definitely exchange for one when the time comes," the Lord of Darkness said hurriedly.
A few days later, Lu Qingshan left with the Lord of Darkness and the Lord Peng Gong. After traveling together for a short while, they parted ways and headed towards their respective destinations.
