The Palace Opens: Entering and Blocking the Entrance

Buzz--

A figure formed from starlight appeared silently not far from the Purple Cocoon Beast.

This figure had no fixed form, seemingly composed of countless swirling Stars particles. At its core was a deep, dark star phantom emanating a chilling suction force. The enormous divine body shifted between reality and illusion, exuding a vast aura that seemed capable of devouring everything.

Its arrival was not as barbaric as the Purple Cocoon Beast, but it caused a slight distortion in the Space-Time of the entire area. All the Universe Venerables present felt a heavy pressure, and even the Purple Cocoon Beast subconsciously took a step back.

"It's the Star Palace Master!" the High Venerable of the Crystal Race exclaimed again.

"It's the Star Palace Master of the Northern Border Alliance! He's actually on this Primal Star?"

"That's great! With him here, we might actually be able to compete with that Jixing Palace Master!"

"The Star Palace Master is a true Top Universe Overlord. Legend he possessed Special Lifeform called the 'Star Spirit,' possessing an incomparably vast divine body and combat power comparable to a second-tier Universe Master! In the Primal Universe, he was a being who could truly stand up to Universe Master without being defeated."

"That's right! The Northern Border Alliance's top enforcer! With him around, it won't be so easy for the Human Race Universe Master to obtain the Supreme Treasures in this palace!"

The appearance of the Star Palace Master was like a shot in the arm for these resentful and powerful individuals.

In their view, this Human Race's Jixing Palace Master was "nothing more than a newly promoted Universe Master; even if a Top Universe Overlord couldn't defeat him, he could hold out for a long time."

The eyes of the three overlords of the Crystal Race, the Purple Cocoon Beast, the overlord of the Machine Race, the overlord of the Prison Race, and the powerful members of several other teams lit up. With this person joining them, they would have a better chance of obtaining that Supreme Treasure.

Hundreds of venerable ones also held their breath, watching the situation unfold with bated breath.

The Star Palace Master's face, composed of starlight, turned to Qie Qiong and said, "Human Jixing Palace Master? I've long heard of your great name. Congratulations on your rise to the position of the new Universe Master." Its voice was calm, but upon closer listening, it seemed to carry a hint of dissatisfaction.

Qie Qiong certainly sensed the dissatisfaction in his voice, but he could actually understand it.

It's called "Star Palace Master" because Qie Qiong's title is "Jixing Palace Master".

It's important to know that while one can choose their own title of "strong," as long as they don't break any taboos, it's fine.

For example, if a newly ascended Universe Master claims to be the "Lord of Destruction," then how many years he can live is an unknown.

And now, we are precisely committing this taboo.

However, even if Qie Qiong knew, he wouldn't care; after all, what level was this Star Palace Master?

Even when he wasn't choosing Supreme Treasure, Qie Qiong was confident he could go toe-to-toe with it, let alone now.

Do you think he's joking about all these Supreme Treasures he owns?

"I think it's best if everyone who sees these treasures on the Primal Star has a share. This palace is extraordinary; it's not something you can possess all by yourself."

There was already a hint of hostility in those words.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the two figures in the core area.

On one side was the newly appointed Jixing Palace Master, with silver armor and golden eyes, his aura as deep and boundless as the sea.

On the other side is the Star Palace Master, Top Universe Overlord with a fearsome reputation in the Northern Border Alliance.

The palace was still rising, swirling with chaotic energy and shimmering with extraordinary runes, clearly indicating that the Supreme Treasures inside were of extremely high quality and of immeasurable value.

The breaths of hundreds of powerful figures seemed to catch in their throats as they awaited the response of this human Universe Master.

Qie Qiong finally turned her head slightly, her silver-gold eyes looking at the Star Palace Master whose starlight shimmered.

Facing this Top Overlord of the Northern Border Alliance, he simply spoke, his voice not loud, yet clearly ringing in the ears of every powerful figure present. "I still prefer to have both."

Moreover, according to Qie Qiong's intelligence, there is usually only one high-level Supreme Treasure in this palace.

The Star Palace Master's body, composed of starlight, rippled slightly. It stared at Qie Qiong and remained silent for a moment.

"Hmph!" he sneered. "Then let's see who has the best skills."

After speaking, the Star Palace Master fell silent, focusing all his attention on the Ancient Palace below, whose pressure continued to rise and grow increasingly terrifying.

Verbal exchanges are pointless; the truth will be revealed once the palace is fully completed.

Following the Star Palace Master's statement, the three overlords of the Crystal Race, the Purple Cocoon Beast, the overlord of the Machine Race, the overlord of the Prison Race, and many other Alien Race venerables exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts.

The Star Palace Master's attitude gave them a glimmer of hope—perhaps in the chaos, these "small fry" might still have a chance to fish in troubled waters and pick up some bargains.

His greedy gaze swept back and forth between the palace and the two peak experts once again.

Qie Qiong seemed oblivious to the Star Palace Master's cold snort and the countless prying eyes around him.

His gaze remained calm as he looked down at the colossal structure below, which seemed to have broken free from the earth's embrace.

He was like Sea God rooted in this Space-Time, firmly occupying the best position directly above the palace, declaring sovereignty.

The several Venerable Ones of the Hongmeng Alliance Universe Venerable felt their Palace Master's unwavering and powerful aura, and their anxiety subsided considerably.

Time slipped away little by little as we waited.

With each rise of the palace, the ancient and mysterious patterns on its surface became even clearer, causing all the powerful figures present to gasp for breath.

Two minutes felt exceptionally long in the unique environment of the Primal Star.

Finally!

"Boom!!"

A deafening explosion erupted!

It was as if the very core of the Primal Star was trembling.

Finally, the force binding the palace was completely broken, and endless chaotic energy surged and spread in all directions like a tsunami.

The majestic, ancient, dark golden Ancient Palace, exuding an aura of vastness, finally emerged completely from the ground and stood firmly in the center of the enormous basin.

It stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers, its structure covered with the marks of time and mysterious patterns, as if it had always existed there.

A pressure a hundred times stronger than before suddenly descended, suppressing all directions of space and Space-Time. Even the Star Palace Master's body, composed of starlight, froze slightly for a moment, and the various Universe Overlords and Universe Overlord took a half step back.

The palace gates were tightly shut, made of a dark material that was neither gold nor jade, and were also covered with complex and incomprehensible patterns, subtly isolating the space.

In front of the palace's main gate, an equally ancient, thousand-meter-high bronze stele rises from the ground.

The surface of the stone tablet gleams with clear golden characters!

All the powerful individuals present instantly understood its meaning.

[Light Annihilation Domain]: Domain-type Supreme Treasure, possessing light and spatial attributes.

Core competencies:

The Light Annihilation Domain, once expanded, can form a pure Light Annihilation Domain with a diameter of one hundred million kilometers.

Purification: The core of the domain can condense "Light of Purification," which has an extremely strong ability to dispel and purify non-material attacks such as Soul Attacks and energy toxins. It can greatly weaken such attacks.

Holy Light Pegasus: A "Holy Light Pegasus" can be condensed at the core of a domain. Its power can reach the level of Universe Master.

The Law of Light can be initially activated once one becomes Immortal.

"Domain-type Supreme Treasure!"

"What terrifying properties! This must be considered a top-tier treasure among high- Domain Supreme Treasure!"

"Domain Supreme Treasure! Invaluable!"

"This Supreme Treasure is probably comparable to the Sky Wolf Palace of my Demon Race 'Lord of Sky Wolves!"

It should be understood that the Sky Wolf Palace, as a high-level Supreme Treasure Palace, is far more valuable than Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapons; it would take several of them to be comparable to it.

Exclamations erupted instantly throughout the basin.

The gazes of all the powerful figures present turned greedy, fixed on the stone tablet and then sweeping towards the tightly closed palace gates.

However, they also knew that this top-grade, high- Domain Supreme Treasure was not something they could covet.

However, this palace contained more than one high- Domain Supreme Treasure; based on past experience, that was merely the main Supreme Treasure among them.

Besides Top-tier Supreme Treasures, the palace also contains other valuable treasures and even Ordinary Supreme Treasures, attracting many Universe Overlords and daring Universe Venerables to explore and search for them. This is why ten Universe Overlords and hundreds of Universe Venerables are waiting here.

Otherwise, they would have left long ago the moment they recognized the Jixing Palace Master.

However, the competition for the other Supreme Treasures within this palace is extremely brutal. It's considered good if two-thirds of the powerful individuals who enter survive; in most cases, more than half of them perish.

Finally, they involuntarily gathered around Qie Qiong, who was closest to the palace gate in front of the stone tablet, and the Star Palace Master not far to his side.

The effects of high-level Domain Supreme Treasures are too obvious in battle, especially in a complex environment like the Primal Star where there are many enemies. A powerful Domain Supreme Treasure can even be enough to change the course of the battle.

The dark star phantom at the core of the Star Palace Master suddenly lit up. Countless points of light spun rapidly on its body, which was made of stardust, revealing its inner turmoil.

Its gaze toward Qie Qiong already carried a hint of fighting spirit.

It knew that when this Supreme Treasure appeared, it would have to go through the motions with this newly crowned Universe Master.

Its greatest asset is its enormous divine body.

At this Qie Qiong, deep within Qieqiong's silver-gold eyes, a glint of light far surpassing that of any other powerful individual flashed across their gaze the instant they saw the name and description of "Light Annihilation Domain."

Wind Annihilation Domain, Thunder Annihilation Domain —and now Light Annihilation Domain has appeared?

Moreover, their abilities are so similar that they must have a common origin.

The Supreme Treasure formed by their fusion is likely comparable to the most top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure.

However, his luck was too good; he found this top- Domain Supreme Treasure in just over a decade.

Rumble--

At this moment, the majestic dark gold palace below emitted a deafening roar, causing the surrounding space to tremble, as if the space itself could not bear its full arrival.

The unique and intense aura of a Supreme Treasure reaching its peak at this moment, crashing into the minds of every powerful individual like a tsunami, making it almost impossible for them to look away from the tightly closed palace doors.

Bang!

An even louder explosion followed.

Suddenly, the enormous palace gate, forged from a dark material that was neither gold nor jade, burst open!

"It's open! The palace gates are open!"

The "Radiant Annihilation Domain," a supreme treasure of advanced technology, is inside!

"Charge! We dare not even dream of High-grade Supreme Treasures, but there must be other great treasures and even Ordinary Supreme Treasures inside!"

"The opportunity is right in front of you!"

The moment the palace gates opened, the basin erupted like a powder keg.

The eyes of the three Crystal Race overlords, the Purple Cocoon Beast, the Machine Race overlord, the Prison Race overlord, and the hundreds of Universe Venerables all flashed with astonishing light.

While those top-tier, high-level items are beyond their reach, the accompanying Supreme Treasures within them are also quite valuable.

Furthermore, based on past experience, the higher the value of the main Supreme Treasure, the higher the value of its accompanying Supreme Treasures will also be.

"Jixing Palace Master, first come, first served!" The Star Palace Master's body, composed of starlight, burst forth with dazzling light. The dark star phantom at its core spun rapidly, and a vast devouring power spread out. It transformed into a dazzling stream of stars that traversed the void and rushed directly toward the palace gate.

Its speed increased to its maximum in an instant, clearly indicating the use of some powerful secret technique.

"Hmph!" Qie Qiong merely snorted in response to the Star Palace Master's words.

A cold glint flashed in his silver-gold eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly transformed into a silver-gold rainbow, his speed exceeding the perception limits of all the Universe Overlords present.

Swish!

Qie Qiong's figure seemed to merge into the space itself, arriving at the palace entrance almost simultaneously with the Star Palace Master.

Two torrents of power, representing the pinnacle of the Primal Universe, collided violently before the palace gates.

Space shattered like fragile glass, only to be forcibly repaired by the Primal Star's powerful restorative abilities.

The mere tentative collision caused the expressions of several nearby Universe Overlords to change drastically.

As for why Qie Qiong, Third-Order Universe Master, did not gain the upper hand during this process, it was because Qie Qiong was hiding his strength.

According to intelligence, it would take several years to emerge from this palace. He didn't believe that no one would be blocking the entrance by then, so he couldn't let anyone immediately see through his disguise.

"Star Palace Master, if you want the treasure, have you asked my sword first?" Qie Qiong's icy voice pierced through the energy storm and rang out clearly.

"Jixing Palace Master, you can't stop me!" Star Palace Master Xingguang's body rippled.

The two figures stood frozen at the entrance of the palace, their auras locked together, as if a great battle between the Universe Master was about to erupt.

Just as these two top figures were confronting each other in front of the palace gate.

"Now! Charge in!" The three overlords of the Crystal Race were of one mind, transforming into three streaks of Flowing Light. Taking advantage of the gap created by the confrontation between the top experts, they instantly slipped into the huge palace gate from the side.

"Roar! The treasure is mine!" The Purple Cocoon Beast roared, its massive body rapidly shrinking into a dark purple Flowing Light, following closely behind the Crystal Race Overlord as it rushed into the palace.

"Never mind that, let's go inside and talk first!"

"Rob it!"

"Everyone, then it'll be up to you to see who has the best skills!"

Just as everyone rushed over, Qie Qiong and the Star Palace Master said nothing more and entered the palace together.

The palace gates opened for only two or three seconds, and ten Universe Overlords and a large number of Universe Venerables surged like a torrent toward the single entrance.

One after another, figures disappeared into the darkness shrouded in chaotic energy within the palace, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart.

About ten seconds after the palace door opened, the huge, heavy door began to creak and slowly close inward without anyone pushing it. The secret patterns on its surface lit up again, and it began to isolate the inside and outside Heaven and Earth once more.

Just then, a flying palace in the distance tried to slip inside through the last crack before the palace doors closed.

Just as he was about to enter, the palace doors slammed shut, their surface shrouded in intricate patterns, completely isolating the interior of the palace.

"Damn it, just a little short." A somewhat exasperated voice came from within the Palace Supreme Treasure.

"It seems we can only wait until that person comes out, and then try to rob him by force."
