A new dimensional Universe Ocean.

Between the two Natural Wormhole lies a vacuum region where countless distorted Space-Time Vortex are scattered across the void like stars.

A powerful Sea Race, its body a deep blue and shaped like a giant whale, was fleeing in a sorry state. It was tens of thousands of kilometers long and covered with fine blue scales, but now the scales were damaged in many places, making it look extremely disheveled.

"Damn Demon Race! They ambushed me!"

The powerful Sea Race gritted their teeth, yet dared not stop.

Behind them, three figures were hot on their heels.

They resemble humans in appearance, but have ferocious black horns, are surrounded by a dense aura of darkness, and each exudes the pressure of Universe Master.

"Haha, you fool of the Sea Race, obediently hand over your Supreme Treasure, and we might spare your life!"

The Demon Race Universe Master, grinned maliciously and hurled his black halberd, which transformed into a streak of black lightning, aiming straight for the back of the Sea Race's powerful warrior.

The Sea Race expert's expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but the halberd seemed to have locked him firmly in place. No matter how he struggled, the halberd remained firmly locked behind him.

"Give up. You're just a lowly Second-Tier Universe Master. You're lucky you managed to get this far."

The black figure laughed loudly. "I heard this guy has good talent, and he's a disciple of that old bastard from the Sea Race. Destroying him will weaken the Sea Race's power, and our Demon Race Alliance will surely unify the Primal Universe."

However, just as the halberd was about to strike...

"Puff!"

A streak of crimson light flashed past, striking the black halberd precisely and knocking it off course, grazing past the side of the Sea Race expert.

"Who dares to ruin my plans!"

The Demon Race Universe Master abruptly stopped, looking warily in the direction from which the crimson light had come.

A figure clad in a blood-red robe emerged from the void, his face expressionless, yet his aura of evil was palpable.

The three Universe Master from the Demon Race faction were all dumbfounded.

This guy... is too evil. Are you Demon Race or are we Demon Race?

They searched for information but found nothing about this guy.

That's not surprising.

Their Third Reincarnation Era was relatively recent, and their understanding of the Universe Ocean was already limited, so the appearance of an unfamiliar powerful figure was not unusual. "Who are you? You look more like our Demon Race. Why are you helping the Sea Race?"

The Demon Race Universe Master had made the move earlier asked the question.

The other two Universe Master from the Demon Race faction split up and blocked the escape route of the Sea Race's Universe Master.

"I was just passing by."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

His gaze fell upon the three Universe Master.

The leader resembled a demon from mythology, while the other two were more normal. One of them resembled a human and might be Human Race born from this Primal Universe. However, all three exuded terrifying demonic energy.

Moreover, judging from their conversation, the Sea Race and the Demon Race seem to be two major factions within this Primal Universe, fighting against each other.

If the Primal Universe he inhabits is now characterized by one superpower and multiple strong powers, then this Primal Universe is a battle between two opposing forces.

"Since they're just passing by, they have no grudge against us, so why are you interfering?"

"The Demon Race Universe Master asked."

"The three of you chasing after one person, ganging up on one, I don't like that." "Don't like it?" This reason stunned the three Demon Race Universe Master. The leader of the Demon Race Universe Master said coldly, "We are the Master of Blazing Horn, the Master of Dark Spear, and the Master of Shadow of the Demon Race. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

Lu Qingshan did not answer.

He only glanced at the three of them.

A surge of Phantom Demon erupted from his body, instantly enveloping the three Demon Race Universe Master.

The three Demon Race Universe Master screamed almost simultaneously, their anger and vigilance instantly turning into fear.

"Get out of here before I change my mind," Lu Qingshan said calmly.

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll leave now."

The three Demon Race Universe Master, no longer daring to be arrogant, immediately turned and ran without any hesitation.

Lu Qingshan did not pursue them.

He guarded the passage outside the Primal Universe to learn about the information of this Universe Ocean, not to kill.

To understand the information, one Universe Master is sufficient.

He had just saved the man's life; there was no reason for the other party not to answer his questions. "I have a few questions for you."

Lu Qingshan turned to look at the powerful Sea Race.

The powerful Sea Race was taken aback for a moment, then quickly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you so much for saving my life, senior! Master of Wave Whale of the Sea Race. May I ask how you are addressed, senior? If you have any questions, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge..."

"You can call me Xue You," Lu Qingshan said calmly. He continued, "I've been in seclusion for too long and don't know much about the current state of the Primal Universe. If it's convenient for you, you can tell me about the current situation of the Primal Universe."

Master of Wave Whale nodded hastily. "Lord Xue You Nether has been in seclusion for too long, so it's normal that he doesn't understand the Primal Universe. Only five billion epochs have passed since the birth of the Primal Universe."

"Only fifty billion epochs..." Lu Qingshan's heart stirred slightly.

One Reincarnation Era the Primal Universe is roughly ten trillion epochs, and fifty billion epochs is only the beginning of the Reincarnation Era.

In other words, the Primal Universe of this dimension has just experienced a cycle of destruction and is still in a primitive era. No wonder the Universe Master the two major factions in this Primal Universe seem to be very weak. Of the Universe Master he saw, only one was at the Level 3, and the rest were at the Level 2, and their Supreme Treasure were all trash.

Such weak Universe Master generally wouldn't dare to venture into the Universe Ocean Universe Ocean their own dimension.

Moreover, in the early stages, the probability of forming large-scale alliances is higher. Later, as the Universe Supreme Master are born, the forces will gradually split up, and it will be impossible for them to be as united as they are now.

"Your Third Reincarnation Era has only just begun; how much do you know about the Universe Ocean?"

Lu Qingshan then asked, " The Universe Ocean is teeming with powerful beings, with hundreds of forces of varying sizes." The Master of Wave Whale recalled the information he had obtained from the Sea Race Temple. Every powerful member of the Sea Race would review this information before leaving the Primal Universe.

He continued, "These hundreds of forces, each with True God in charge, but the one who truly rules this Universe Ocean, as our predecessors surely know, is the Black Butcher Holy Land Universe."

"Of course I know."

Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised, but he didn't show it. Moreover, this guy mentioned "True God," which clearly meant he knew what the next realm after "Universe Master " was.

The Master of Wave Whale's eyes were filled with awe as he continued, " The Black Butcher Holy Land Universe is the only holy land in this Universe Ocean, existing through countless Reincarnation Era. The Holy Land's Progenitor benevolent and compassionate, protecting the beings in the Primal Universe at the beginning of each Reincarnation Era. We are able to venture into this Universe Ocean only because the Black Butcher Holy Land Universe spoke up to take care of the little ones in the Third Reincarnation Era; only then did other forces give our Sea Race face."

Lu Qingshan remained silent for a moment.

Black Butcher Holy Land Universe... that name sounds familiar.

After Luo Feng passed through the cycle of reincarnation, the restaurant owner he met in Huyang City, who was at the Void True God Level, seemed to be called Black Butcher. It's unknown whether he had any connection with the Progenitor of the Black Butcher Holy Land.

That Black Butcher also came to the Origin Continent after passing through the cycle of reincarnation in the Universe Ocean, and he was even able to advance to the Eternal True God Level. Obviously, his Small Universe is still there... In other words, his Small Universe did not experience the World Beast Calamity, and it is very possible that his Small Universe is currently in the Universe Ocean of some dimension.

Lu Qingshan wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence of names; he would need to find out more information to know.

"Send me all the information you know?"

Lu Qingshan replied directly, "Yes." The Master of Wave Whale dared not refuse, and took out a white, transparent Stone, imprinting all the information he knew into it.

He then carefully handed it to the powerful figure named Xue You.

This sir, with just one Soul Attack, managed to send those three Demon Race demons fleeing in disarray; his strength is likely already at the Level 5.

Such a powerful individual would rank among the top three in their Sea Race camp.

Their Sea Race faction only had two Fifth-Order Universe Master, one of whom was his teacher. Yet, any Universe Master in the Universe Ocean who had been in seclusion for countless years possessed such formidable strength.

However, if he is the Universe Master, he should have his own faction... If he has True God as his backer, why would he need to ask me for information?

Although I had some doubts.

But the Master of Wave Whale dared not ask any further questions.

When venturing into the Universe Ocean, the biggest taboo is to casually pry into the secrets of the powerful. This was his teacher's advice to him... Although the Black Butcher Holy Land had said that the powerful in the Universe Ocean generally would not attack the little guy from their Third Reincarnation Era, that was only because other forces were giving face to the Holy Land Universe Sea, and there was not much constraint.

Fighting for treasures, venturing into dangerous lands, even the strongest of their Third Reincarnation Era often perished...

Lu Qingshan ignored the Master of Wave Whale's thoughts and quickly scanned the messages sent by the other party.

Although this information was very basic, it gave him a general understanding of the Universe Ocean. The Holy Land Universe, the two Desperate Land, and countless forces.

This information was similar to the Universe Ocean of his own dimension, yet subtly different. The introduction to the Black Butcher Holy Land Universe further solidified his understanding by about 70-80%.

"This Black Butcher Holy Land Universe diameter of 4.3 billion light-years, which is much larger than the East Emperor Holy Land. It is obviously a relatively powerful level among the Void True God. It is very likely that it is the Black Butcher Huyang City."

Lu Qingshan put away the memory crystal.

He looked at the Master of Wave Whale and said calmly, "This information of yours is of some use to me. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I..." The Master of Wave Whale hurriedly bowed, "My lord, you just saved my life. I have no way to repay you, how could I dare to ask for anything more?"

"Hehe..." Lu Qingshan smiled slightly. He naturally had his own purpose in saying this. He smiled and said, "I am a master craftsman who can craft Supreme Treasure below the peak level. If you need them, you only need one set of materials to have me craft them. Of course, other Universe Master from your Sea Race camp can also come to me for crafting."

"Only one set of materials?" The Master of Wave Whale was startled and asked, "Then, sir, what reward do you require?"

Generally, a master craftsman needs to prepare two to three sets of materials to forge Supreme Treasure, with the extras considered as payment to the craftsman; but only one set of materials is required, which clearly shows that the craftsman is confident in his skills, since some special materials may be damaged and unusable during the forging process.

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan knew he had achieved his goal. He said, "I need biological materials from your Primal Universe, as well as biological materials from the Universe Ocean. One part of the Universe Ocean is equivalent to one hundred million parts of the Primal Universe. The exact amount needed depends on the level of the treasure being refined."

"Lord Xue You, do you need the biological materials intact or...?"

"Just a small portion will suffice," Lu Qingshan said calmly.

"My lord, I wish to forge a high- Supreme Treasure Armor..."

"The Master of Wave Whale quickly said."

"A high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor requires ten million portions of Universe Ocean creature materials, or equivalent to one hundred billion portions of Primal Universe creature materials, in addition to the materials themselves. You need to provide me with the list as well. For now, I only need one portion of each material, so the more you seek me out to refine the Supreme Treasure, the greater your advantage will be."

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

Master of Wave Whale did some mental calculations. Universe Ocean life materials were not easy to obtain, but biological materials from the Primal Universe were far too easy. Their Sea Race was one of the two super powers in the Primal Universe, and obtaining a hundred billion materials was a piece of cake.

"Lord Xue You Nether, no problem, all the refining materials are here."

The Master of Wave Whale took out a World Ring containing materials for crafting a Supreme Treasure Armor, and there were even extra materials.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the materials; there were more than enough to forge a high-grade armor. He nodded and said, "Go back and prepare the biological materials first. Once you have them ready, you can contact me."

As he spoke, he took out the memory crystal that the other person had just taken out.

Flames flickered on his hands.

The memory crystal instantly liquefied, but after a moment, it condensed again. Lu Qingshan left a wisp of his consciousness within it, saying, "Contact me once you have the biological materials ready." "Yes, Lord Xue You."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Master of Wave Whale.

The fact that this master craftsman could create a teleportation token so easily clearly shows that his reputation as a weapon-refining expert is well-deserved.

Within the Primal Universe, master craftsmen are extremely rare, and those capable of crafting High-grade Supreme Treasure are even rarer; the Sea Race has only one such master.

Most of the treasures in the Primal Universe today were obtained from the Primal Star Primal Star during its first opening.

Therefore, their numbers are extremely limited.

I'm quite excited to have met a master craftsman from the Universe Ocean, Master of Wave Whale.

If we maintain a good relationship with this weapon-refining master...

It will be much easier to refine Supreme Treasure in the future.

"Your divine body has suffered severe damage and is no longer suitable for venturing into the Universe Ocean. I'll send you back."

"Take me back?"

The Master of Wave Whale was only stunned for a moment. Then he felt his divine body being locked in place as if out of his control. Then he felt his consciousness disappear, but only for a moment... his consciousness returned.

He stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

He had actually arrived at the location of that Natural Wormhole outside the Primal Universe.

Once he passed through this wormhole, he could return to the Primal Universe. The reason he was being hunted was because the distance between the two Natural Wormhole was very far. It took him more than a month to reach the location he had just arrived at, but he didn't expect to be back in just an instant.

"Could it be...?"

The Master of Wave Whale was incredulous.

Could this Lord Xue You Nether not be the Universe Master, but True God?

Only True God could disregard the limitations of the Universe Ocean and unleash such terrifying speed.

"Get the biological materials ready, then send me a message... Hmm, better hurry."

"Yes, sir."

The Master of Wave Whale felt even greater awe for this powerful being.

Lu Qingshan said no more, turned around and disappeared... The Master of Wave Whale stood there for a long time before taking a deep breath, passing through the wormhole, and returning to the Primal Universe.
