Within the Lost Sand Realm.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
The battle between the Yan Emperor and the Lord of Ice Peak intensified, while the Giant Axe Founder and Luo Ao rapidly approached the center of the fluctuations in the ' Two Poles Heaven ' domain.
"Boom!"
Another sword light streaked across the sky. With the enhancement of the domain's power, the Lord of Ice Peak's attack was in no way weaker than his opponent's. In fact, with his more ingenious and varied moves, he was able to gain a slight advantage.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that Ice Peak would actually break through in strength, and even gain this troublesome Peak Domain Supreme Treasure!" After facing Lord of Ice Peak, Yan Emperor suddenly regretted making his move. He misjudged Lord of Ice Peak's strength, and now he had put himself in a disadvantageous situation.
"Damn it, if I also had a Peak Domain Supreme Treasure, would I have been entangled by you!" According to the plan, he should have needed a considerable amount of time to attract more 'bait' before staging a 'grand show'. But now that he has been entangled by the Lord of Ice Peak ahead of time, the plan has been directly declared a failure.
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
The black divine iron slammed relentlessly towards the Lord of Ice Peak time and time again!
Yan Emperor even expended his divine power to unleash his strongest attack techniques time and again, but he still couldn't shake off the Lord of Ice Peak's entanglement.
And in the distance.
"Hiss--" A heavy, ancient palace broke through the layers of sand and dust, and inside the palace stood a Savage man who looked like an ancient God King.
" Yan Emperor!" The savage-like Savage, resembling God King, suddenly spoke from the distant horizon, billions of miles away, drawing the attention of the two who were engaged in fierce combat.
" The Giant Axe has arrived!" The Lord of Ice Peak's eyes lit up with joy. As soon as the Giant Axe arrived, he knew that today was destined to be the anniversary of Yan Emperor's death.
" Cao Benqi! You betrayed my Human Race back then, and I only spared you because of Sitting Mountain Guest. I never expected that you would become even more wicked and unrepentant. Today, I will not let you live any longer!" The Savage's voice, filled with endless killing intent, pierced through layers of space and rang out like Leiming in Yan Emperor's ears.
' Cao Benqi ' is the real name of Yan Emperor. This name was only known to some Human Race powerhouses in the early days of Yan Emperor's rise. Since Yan Emperor broke through and betrayed the Human Race, no one has ever called him by this name again.
" Giant Axe!" Upon hearing the voice, Yan Emperor instantly recognized the newcomer, a flash of shock, anger, and resentment crossing his eyes.
"Damn it, how did that Giant Axe arrive so fast!" Yan Emperor's mood plummeted.
" Yan Emperor, prepare to die!" The Savage burly man didn't give Yan Emperor a chance to speak again, and immediately took out his battle axe.
"Whoosh--"
Under the watchful eyes of the Yan Emperor and the Lord of Ice Peak, the Giant Axe Founder immediately unleashed a powerful axe strike!
"Whoosh!"
As he raised his Divine Axe, suddenly, phantom images of Giant Axe axes appeared in the surrounding space and time. Each phantom image of Giant Axe was as vast as billions of kilometers, as if it were a world in itself!
Twelve Giant Axe phantoms appeared, scattered in all directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back. Under the pressure of these twelve Giant Axe phantoms, the incredibly solidified cosmic space began to crack and break apart in every place.
Twelve Giant Axe phantoms, each separated by billions of kilometers!
In an instant, in the endless space, the Giant Axe Founder raised the Divine Axe seemed to be the core of this universe! Then his powerful right arm swung forward and cleaved!
This move, the ' The Twelfth ', is not even his strongest move, but it is enough to overwhelm Yan Emperor.
"It's over!"
Yan Emperor's vision went black instantly.
Although the Giant Axe Founder's axe strike wouldn't instantly kill him, the moment the Giant Axe appeared, his fate was sealed!
"Boom!"
The axe was drawn, and endless spacetime trembled.
Although the Giant Axe Founder rarely makes a move, his strength is absolutely astonishing.
He didn't even bother to suppress and seal the Flame Yan Emperor at this moment. Instead, he stubbornly withstood the opponent's Supreme Treasure Armor and chopped down with his axe again and again!
"Boom!" "Boom!"...
Although the Black Battle Armor worn by Yan Emperor is a Peak Supreme Treasure Armor that can greatly reduce attacks from enemies.
However, in battles against the Universe Supreme Master, the armor's limits are repeatedly exceeded, naturally reducing its defensive effectiveness.
This armor might be able to reduce physical attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original value, but it's hard to say to what extent it can reduce them once the limit is exceeded.
Not to mention, the Giant Axe's attack is extremely powerful, even among the Universe Supreme Master. Faced with the Giant Axe's attack, even with the Mysterious Object Black Iron in hand, Yan Emperor had no chance to fight back.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" It was a one-sided ravage; the Yan Emperor was nothing more than a toy in the hands of the Giant Axe!
After enduring the Giant Axe axe's repeated attacks, Yan Emperor soon could no longer withstand them. This was, after all, the Universe Ocean, where the Universe Supreme Master faced minimal suppression, not to mention that the Giant Axe was no ordinary Universe Supreme Master.
" Ice Peak, Giant Axe! I'll be waiting for you in the Infernal Realm!"
When Luo Ao arrived, he happened to witness the Giant Axe unleashing its final, earth-shattering strike, which cleaved the Yan Emperor into obliteration!
"Clatter!"
After his death, the Mysterious Object Black Iron, black armor, World Ring, and other items naturally all fell into the hands of the Giant Axe.
" Luo Ao, you've come too." Upon seeing the Nine Fiends Prison appear, the Lord of Ice Peak instantly knew that it was his disciple who had arrived.
"If the darkness hadn't informed the clan, we wouldn't have known that the renowned Master of Nine Fiends Prison was you, Asura." At this moment, the Giant Axe Founder also turned around and looked at them with a smile.
"Teacher, the Giant Axe Founder." Luo Ao also met up with the two of them and greeted each other first.
"You've arrived at just the right time, coinciding with the final blow of the Giant Axe Yan Emperor." Having just killed the Yan Emperor, this great scourge, both the Lord of Ice Peak and the Giant Axe Founder are feeling extremely pleased.
"I don't know what's wrong with this Yan Emperor. Without the protection of the Sitting Mountain Guest, he actually dares to jump out and oppose my Human Race. He's really courting death!" The Giant Axe Founder deliberately used his axe to kill him, actually to vent his anger.
"However, this Yan Emperor's luck is extraordinary. Not only did he create the Universe Master Strongest Secret Technique, but he also somehow obtained this Mysterious Object Black Iron."
He then focused his attention on the unremarkable, dark iron rod in his hand.
This black iron rod is indeed a Mysterious Object.
The power of these Mysterious Object is second only to the Strongest Supreme Treasure; even the Universe Supreme Master can experience a significant boost.
Although it doesn't contain any secret runes and is far inferior to the Strongest Supreme Treasure, it's still a pleasant surprise for the Giant Axe.
"Was it really just good luck? Maybe he also got a map?" Luo Ao said noncommittally, then looked at the World Ring in the Giant Axe Founder's hand.
"A map?" The Giant Axe Founder was taken aback at first, then quickly recognized the World Ring as its master, immersing his mind in the inner space of the World Ring.
The number of powerful Supreme Treasure here is not actually that many. The most precious ones are the few Supreme Treasure originally possessed by the Master of Anyan and the Master of Jinguang. However, there is one extremely special item that quickly caught the attention of the Giant Axe Founder.
"This is... Silk Thread?" The Giant Axe was struck by a thought, and a piece of black and gold mottled silk cloth appeared in his hand.
" The Silk Thread Map!" The Lord of Ice Peak beside him also quickly recognized the object.
Silk Thread are an extremely precious material, used to create a map. Even the Universe Supreme Master are not all willing to use them.
A map that can be recorded using Silk Thread cannot be simple.
"This is a fragment of a map recording the depths of the Tilted Peak Realm, and it was actually left behind by that ' Xuan Yuan '!" The Giant Axe Founder was almost stunned by this sudden surprise!
" Xuan Yuan? That legendary Xuan Yuan?" Even the Lord of Ice Peak was moved.
Xuan Yuan was the Universe Supreme Master before the Great Destruction, living longer than any other Universe Supreme Master in the Primal Universe... He ventured into the Tilted Peak Realm countless times, exploring Tilted Peak Realm countless times. The Tilted Peak Realm Fragment Map that Xuan Yuan carried with him had become incredibly rich and invaluable!
With this fragment of the map, it's entirely possible to obtain a large number of treasures, and even the Strongest Supreme Treasure are not impossible!
"No wonder the Yan Emperor was able to suddenly obtain such a Mysterious Object; it turns out he was lucky enough to acquire this Silk Thread Map." The Giant Axe Founder's eyes instantly brightened.
Even with Yan Emperor's strength, he probably wouldn't dare to venture too far into some of the core areas marked on the map, yet he still managed to obtain a Mysterious Object. If he were to explore, obtaining even the Strongest Supreme Treasure wouldn't be difficult.
"Just as I thought." Luo Ao couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.
When the Yan Emperor first appeared, he instinctively sensed that something was amiss.
He suddenly appeared in the Universe Ocean, went specifically to hunt down the Universe Master the Hongmeng Alliance, and even deliberately stayed in the Lost Sand Realm to Human Race powerhouses to deal with him.
However, he actually had no effective means of countermeasures, and would be quickly and directly suppressed once he encountered the Giant Axe Founder.
The Yan Emperor's various actions actually revealed a hint of strangeness.
"So that's how it is?" The Giant Axe Founder suddenly came to his senses and seemed thoughtful after hearing Luo Ao's words.
" Luo Ao, do you mean this is a trap?" The Lord of Ice Peak suddenly frowned as well.
"It's highly likely. This Yan Emperor, despite possessing True Treasure, doesn't discreetly hide and slowly improve himself. Instead, he inexplicably jumps out, attracting our Human Race's powerful warriors to surround and kill him. This is highly unusual!"
"Therefore, I suspect this is a setup! A trap!" Upon hearing Luo Ao's words, the Lord of Ice Peak and the Giant Axe Founder also fell into deep thought, especially when they recalled the 'curse' left by Yan Emperor before his death, they felt even more that Luo Ao's statement made a lot of sense.
"But the main enemies of our Human Race are those Three Great Peak Races, right? Would they really be willing to use a ' Silk Thread Map' to set up a trap? Besides, I feel that this map should still have some credibility." The Giant Axe Founder looked at the map, still somewhat hesitant.
Ultimately, it's because the Human Race's foundation is too shallow.
Before this, there wasn't even a single rare Mysterious Object, let alone the Strongest Supreme Treasure.
Now that he finally has a chance to obtain the Strongest Supreme Treasure, the Giant Axe Founder naturally doesn't want to give it up easily.
"It's best to be careful." The Lord of Ice Peak, upon realizing that this was a map left behind by the Yan Emperor, also began to have strong doubts about its authenticity.
"Although this Tilted Peak Realm Fragment Map looks quite complete, it is indeed possible that it has been tampered with." The Giant Axe Founder frowned.
This map itself records the depths of the Tilted Peak Realm. Unlike the Outer Domain and Inner Domain, the depths of the Tilted Peak Realm are far more terrifying and dangerous. Even the slightest mistake could lead to Myriad Tribulations.
"This map was left behind by the Yan Emperor, and the chances of it being a trap are indeed very high. Giant Axe, you really need to reconsider." The Lord of Ice Peak also began to persuade Giant Axe.
"If this map is indeed a trap set by Yan Emperor and other powerful figures, it would truly be a disaster for our Human Race!" After careful consideration, the Giant Axe Founder finally made a decision: not to take the risk.
"Well, at least I obtained this Mysterious Object, the Black Iron, which will significantly enhance my strength in the Universe Ocean. So it wasn't a complete waste."
He was currently the only pillar of the Human Race, and despite knowing that there was a significant possibility of a trap, the Giant Axe Founder ultimately decided against risking his life.
"Actually, I do have an opportunity to obtain Strongest Supreme Treasure, which is much better than this dubious map." Seeing that there was still a trace of hesitation in the eyes of the Giant Axe Founder, Luo Ao finally decided to give them a boost of confidence in advance.
