The last item, and also the most important trump card for survival.

"Supreme Treasure, Peak Palace Supreme Treasure."

The list has been refreshed again, and even more rare Peak Palace Supreme Treasure are now extremely scarce.

Qie Qiong's gaze finally settled on a palace with an ancient style and magnificent presence.

"Silent Star Palace" - Peak Palace Supreme Treasure.

The palace is entirely silver, with sharp yet flowing lines, exuding a sense of overwhelming weight that suppresses the Universe.

Complex and mysterious patterns flow across the surface of the palace. These patterns move slowly like living things, giving the space around the palace an extremely stable yet distorted feel, as if it were a separate Space-Time of its own.

The palace doors were tightly shut, and a simplified version of the cosmic star map was carved on the doors, exuding an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

The Silent Star Palace is hundreds of millions of kilometers high, and its perimeter is surrounded by countless Jixing of varying sizes, whose orbits echo the cosmic star map.

"Take out the Silent Star Palace." Qie Qiong's voice carried a hint of anticipation.

With this palace, even if one encounters a powerful Third-Order Universe Master or even a fourth-tier being, one can retreat calmly and remain invincible if one is unable to defeat them.

With a thunderous roar, a miniature palace model rose from the Abyss of the stone disc, and was then refined by Qie Qiong, turning into Flowing Light that entered Qie Qiong's body.

Thus, Qie Qiong completed the second exchange of the Human Race Treasury:

High- Domain-type Supreme Treasures: Wind-Thunder Realm High-level Supreme Treasure Armor: Cosmic Golden Armor High-level Supreme Treasure Weapon: Sky-Splitting Sword Peak Soul Supreme Treasure: Soul-Suppressing Star Peak Palace Supreme Treasure: Silent Star Palace Feeling the newly acquired Supreme Treasures within his body, especially the sense of security brought by the two Peak Supreme Treasures, Qie Qiong barely managed to calm the excitement in his heart.

Who would have thought that an ordinary Universe Overlord could possess far more Supreme Treasures than most Fifth-Order Universe Master?

Before Luo Feng appeared, he could be considered the richest and most powerful being in the universe.

After leaving the side hall, Qie Qiong went straight to the Initial Universe Trial, since he had obtained so many Supreme Treasures and wanted to test their power.

The place for the experiment, naturally, was within one's own divine kingdom.

"Splash!"

66~~~

"Boom!"

Qie Qiong stood suspended in the void, his aura contained. With a slight thought, he activated the wind and thunder-infused mark on his palm.

Buzz-!

In an instant, the vast void, spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers and centered on Qie Qiong, was completely enveloped by a purplish-blue ocean of energy.

The endless howling cyan Hurricane and the surging, roaring deep purple Thunder ocean merge to form a world of wind and thunder, in which space is easily shattered like thin paper by cyan and purple wind and lightning serpents.

Wind and thunder, two completely different forces, intertwine and merge.

The turbulent currents of blue and purple energy intertwined and surged, forming a World Domain with a diameter of one hundred million kilometers— the Wind-Thunder Realm.

At the heart of this realm, Qie Qiong's figure appeared incredibly small, yet he stood like Sea God.

His body erupted with silver Annihilation Divine Power that merged with the power of the Wind and Wind-Thunder Realm.

"Annihilation Divine Power."

"Wind-Thunder Realm."

"Integration."

Qie Qiong let out a low shout, perfectly merging his own Annihilation Divine Power with the Wind-Thunder Realm.

Boom!

The already powerful domain energy surged instantly! The wind blades and Thunder both exuded an aura of annihilation, their power increasing dramatically.

The entire Wind-Thunder Realm seemed to come alive, transforming into an ancient, ferocious beast that devoured its prey.

"What a powerful domain! It's many times stronger than the previous Thunder Annihilation Domain." Qie Qiong was shocked as he felt the world-destroying power within the domain. "Back then, I could barely withstand the claw attack of the Lord of Sky Wolf with the Thunder Annihilation Domain combined with divine power. But this Wind-Thunder Realm, with its own binding and annihilation power, could probably annihilate Advanced Universe Venerable in an instant if fully activated."

This is an indiscriminate attack, meaning that within this domain, any number of High Venerables who come will die, assuming they don't fight together.

His mind stirred again.

"Wind Falcon, Thunder Dragon Condensation!"

With a thought from Qie Qiong, energy gathered within the Wind-Thunder Realm.

A colossal eagle phantom, its wingspan obscuring the sky and composed entirely of Annihilation Wind, materialized and took shape. Each flap of its wings stirred up Hurricane that tore through the galaxy.

A colossal dragon, millions of kilometers long, its scales shimmering with the light of extinguished Thunder, roared with its head held high, its cry drowning out the thunder that filled the sky.

These two colossal beasts, formed from the Origin Energy of the domain, exuded a pressure that clearly reached the level of Universe Master.

Now, with just these two giant beasts, Qie Qiong can contend with the Lord of Sky Wolves for a while.

Moreover, the Wind-Thunder Realm still has hidden cards up its sleeve.

"Even Universe Overlord like Skeleton King could only hold out for a few breaths within my Wind-Thunder Realm. Even the Lord of Sky Wolf— " Qie Qiong nodded to himself, "With the weakening effect of the Wind-Thunder Realm's domain binding, combined with the defense of the Cosmic Golden Armor and the Space-Splitting, I'm afraid I can suppress him."

Qie Qiong retracted the Wind-Thunder Realm and stood in the void.

"Next, I'll go test my strength with Lord Youhou." Although Qie Qiong felt that his strength was already comparable to that of a normal Third-Order Universe Master.

But since this is just a comparison I've made myself, I still need to find a true Third-Order Universe Master to have a real duel.

Within the Virtual Universe Company, there is only one Lord of the Universe Master Lord Youhou, who is at the third rank. The others are all too powerful to serve the purpose of sparring.

Ten days later, in Chaos City.

Qie Qiong sat cross-legged in the quiet room of the Chaos City mansion.

This mansion was recently changed by Qie Qiong. Now Qie Qiong's status is equivalent to that of the Universe Master, so of course it's not in the same place as before.

The quiet room was Law Secret Patterns engraved on the walls, emitting a faint silver glow. Qie Qiong's thoughts drifted back to the sparring match a few days ago.

Ultimately, with neither side resorting to their most powerful techniques and stopping short of defeat, the match ended in a draw.

In the quiet room, Qie Qiong opened her silver-gold eyes, deep in thought.

"A draw," he murmured to himself.

This result was not different from what he had expected. With both sides stopping short of a full exchange, his combat power was already comparable to that of a normal Third-Order Universe Master.

This is no longer a normal Top Universe Overlord; it can be said that Qie Qiong is now the most powerful Universe Venerable in this universe.

But Qie Qiong remained unusually clear-headed.

Lord Youhou, this Third-Order Universe Master, far surpasses him in his comprehension of laws and creation of secret techniques.

"My advantage lies in the domain suppression of the Wind-Thunder Realm combined with the characteristics of the Annihilation Divine Power, which is enough to withstand his offensive," Qie Qiong analyzed. "The sharpness of the Sky-Splitting Sword, combined with the Abyssal Abyss and the Annihilation Divine Power, can also make him wary."

However, despite these advantages, Qie Qiong's own weaknesses are also quite obvious.

"There's still a gap in mastery over the laws." He frowned slightly. With every gesture, the Lord Youhou wielded the Space-Time Law with effortless skill, their variations endless, always finding a point of counterattack against his attacks.

As for himself, he was able to contend with him mainly by relying on the power of the Supreme Treasure and the domineering power of the Annihilation Divine Power.

Although Qie Qiong's divine power was greatly enhanced through the cultivation of "Space-Time Destruction: Space Chapter", his recovery speed and divine power capacity were greatly improved. However, it only made Qie Qiong's 1.8-meter-tall divine body comparable to a divine body that was more than 10 kilometers long.

"A draw is based on neither side fighting desperately, and on my advantage of the Supreme Treasure," Qie Qiong finally concluded, pondering, "If it were a life-or-death struggle, Lord Youhou a deeper foundation and more methods; I certainly wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. Especially with his mastery of Space-Time, combined with secret techniques at the level of Universe Master, I'm afraid I could only hold out for a short while."

Qie Qiong, even if one were to enter the Silent Star Palace, it would be of no use to the Lord Youhou, no matter how much stronger he became.

"We must not become complacent with the power brought by these Supreme Treasures," Qie Qiong reminded himself. "The Wind-Thunder Realm, the Cosmic Golden Armor, and the Sky-Splitting Sword are ultimately external things."

Only by elevating one's own Law Comprehension, creating more powerful secret techniques, and utilizing every ounce of divine power to its fullest potential, can one truly rival a normal Third-Order Universe Master like the Lord Youhou, and even potentially reach the threshold of Fourth-Order Universe Master.

Thinking of this, Qie Qiong's heart stirred slightly, and he entered a state of seclusion. He had only embarked on the path of fusion of Gold-Space.

The "Universe" Secret Technique is merely a top-tier secret technique among Advanced Universe Venerables; he still has a long way to go.

He believed that by continuing to deduce each move step by step, he would soon reach the level of a true Top Universe Overlord.

Time slips away quietly.

Beneath the unchanging sky of Chaos City, the mansion of Qie Qiong remained silent.

Nine days later.

Qie Qiong was awakened from his seclusion.

It was an email from the Giant Axe Founder.

[Qie Qiong, proceed immediately to the Giant Axe Temple in the Virtual Universe.]

"Ten days have passed. So it takes this long for Universe True God to recover," Qie Qiong thought to himself.

Keep in mind that this was Giant Axe's own Miniature Universe, and he didn't believe that Giant Axe hadn't started the universe's Time Acceleration, yet he still needed so much time to recover within that timeframe.

However, this is understandable, considering it represents the highest level within the Universe Ocean.

"I wonder when I will be able to cultivate to such a level."

With his mind racing, he immediately focused his attention and connected his consciousness to the virtual universe.

Virtual Universe, Giant Axe Temple.

It was still suspended in that temple in the starry sky, with a long stone table lying across it.

When Qie Qiong appeared at his designated spot beside the stone table, the Giant Axe Founder was already seated in the main seat.

He still had that rugged and bold appearance, but at this moment, his eyes burned with an unprecedentedly intense light.

It contained an indescribable joy and a look in his eyes that seemed to have broken free from some invisible shackles.

Beside the Giant Axe, the Lord of Void Gold, the Lord Lan Cang, and other Universe Master of the Giant Axe Arena had already arrived.

Following closely behind, the Lord of Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Lord Huang Jian, the Lord Peng Gong, the Lord Qingdong — the Universe Master of other Human Race forces also descended one after another, and without exception, all their gazes were fixed on the Giant Axe in the main position.

Everyone sensed the change in the Giant Axe, but they could all understand it.

Previously, the Giant Axe dared not take risks because the Original Ancestor was suppressed, after all, he was the only Universe True God among the Human Race who could still move.

This also resulted in him having an extremely high level of attainment among the Universe True Gods of the Primal Universe and even the Universe Ocean.

However, he never engages in excessive battles with the strong, nor does he dare to risk venturing into perilous places to search for Supreme Treasures. In addition, his luck is still a little lacking, which results in him, an eighth-order Universe True God, not possessing Most Powerful Supreme Treasures.

However, as the Giant Axe cultivated its clones, it was no longer so easy for it to perish.

Although his temperament hasn't completely changed, something else has emerged.

After a moment of silence, the voice of the Giant Axe echoed in the temple, "Gentlemen!"

Just two words were enough to make all the Universe Master Qie Qiong focus their attention.

"Qie Qiong!" The Giant Axe's gaze fell upon Qie Qiong, its voice booming, "You have rendered a great service to the Human Race, a service worthy of the gratitude of all the strong among our Human Race."

As he spoke, he stood up, bowed to Qie Qiong, and said, "Thank you!"

As he rose, all the Universe Master rose in unison and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Venerable Qie Qiong!"

As the powerful figures rose, Qie Qiong quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "This is Qie Qiong's duty."

Even so, Qie Qiong's heart was still filled with excitement.

The fact that the Universe Venerable was so grateful to by a Universe True God and the Universe Master suggests that Qie Qiong is probably the first person in this Primal Universe to receive such thanks.

Whether there will be anyone Qie Qiong him in the future is unknown, but he is definitely unprecedented.

He also knew that from this moment on, the history of the Human Race would turn a completely new page.

As the one who initiated all of this, he will inevitably embark on a magnificent and eventful journey.

The Giant Axe and the Universe Master straightened up and sat down again.

The Giant Axe's gaze swept across the entire area once more, and he said, "I just received news that the Primal Star is about to open."

The atmosphere around the stone table froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

For the Lords of the Universe present, the opening of the Primal Star, though a major event, was not entirely unpredictable.

Although the cycle of the Primal Star's activation is long and not absolutely fixed, it will activate once every extremely long period of time, which is one of the laws governing the operation of the Primal Universe.

It has indeed been a very long time since it was last opened, and judging by the time, it's about time to open it again.

"The Primal Star is about to open?" A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Lord Huang Jian. "That's perfect! Our race has just acquired the secret technique of creating clones, and it's a time of great fortune. This opening is a great opportunity for our Human Race to gain much!"

"Indeed," Lord Peng Gong stroked his beard and smiled, "With the secret technique of creating clones, our Human Race's Universe Master will surely be able to seize more opportunities on the Primal Star."

"That's indeed good news." The Lord of Void Gold nodded in agreement.

The various Universe Master spoke one after another, their words carrying a hint of anticipation and excitement.

The Primal Star is an extremely special secret realm in the universe. Each time it opens, it becomes a grand feast for all races in the universe to compete for resources. For a top race like the Human Race, it is an excellent opportunity to obtain precious Supreme Treasures.

The Clone Technique brought by Qie Qiong undoubtedly added tremendous confidence to this trip to the Primal Star.

However, sitting at the stone table, Qie Qiong felt a huge storm raging in his heart!

The Primal Star is about to be activated?!

The news struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him outwardly calm but with a barely perceptible hint of confusion deep within his silver-gold pupils.
