Returning to the Initial Universe, the Demon Race's Discussion
As Qie Qiong steered the Silent Star Palace toward the Initial Universe, his clone in the Giant Axe Miniature Universe was discussing the matter of suppressing the Lord of Sky Wolf with the Chaos City Lord.
"Lian Luo." Qie Qiong's calm voice rang in Lian Luo's ears.
At this moment, Lian Luo was still staring in shock at the Sky Wolf Palace, which had been suppressed by her teacher.
Lian Luo never expected that her teacher would be so powerful, even the Lord of Sky Wolf, who was also Universe Master, could suppress him with a wave of his hand.
What he didn't know was that Qie Qiong was only currently benefiting from the advantages of the Supreme Treasures, especially the existence of the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure Myriad Star Compass " and the " Peak Palace Supreme Treasure Silent Star Palace," which gave Qie Qiong absolute suppression over a powerful peak Universe Master like the Lord of Sky Wolf.
If we don't categorize them by level of Universe Master, the strength of Universe Master should be divided into: initial stage, "ordinary," peak, and "top-tier."
The difference in combat power among the peak Universe Masters is extremely large.
"Newcomer" refers to Universe Master, Life Gene Level is 100 times higher, and who hasn't yet created the ultimate secret technique of Universe Master. Generally, this type of Universe Master...
"Ordinary" refers to expending some resources to reach a Life Gene Level that is temporarily difficult to improve, such as 1000 times the Life Gene Level, while also creating the ultimate secret method of the Universe Master and obtaining some great Supreme Treasures.
The peak is achieved by obtaining a heaven-defying Supreme Treasure, creating the Strongest Secret Technique, or reaching Life Gene Level approximately ten thousand times higher. Meeting one of these conditions, along with the other two levels being close to it, is roughly considered the peak.
Of course, this "peak" refers to the Fourth-Order Universe Master. There is another type of "peak" universe lord, such as the Lord of Sky Wolf, whose power is only around the third order, but whose ability to protect himself is extremely strong among the peak.
The top tier consists of beings like the Star River Lord, the Chaos City Lord, and the Lord of Darkness. Only those who have reached an extremely high level in terms of life level, Supreme Treasures, and secret techniques can be considered top tier!
In terms of actual combat strength, if they possessed the same Supreme Treasure, Qie Qiong would only be equivalent to a normal second-tier Universe Master.
However, if we include the two Peak Supreme Treasures, then Qie Qiong's strength is at a decent level among the peak Universe Masters, and his suppression ability is even more powerful.
In other words, for ordinary strong individuals, killing others is more difficult than suppressing them, but for Qie Qiong, it's the exact opposite.
Lian Luo finally snapped out of her shock upon hearing Qie Qiong's voice and immediately looked towards Qie Qiong.
"Teacher."
"Where is the Beast God Inheritance Token you obtained?" Lian Luo asked.
"Here." Lian Luo quickly took out a hexagonal stone tablet from her World Ring.
Qie Qiong glanced at it and nodded, saying, "It's Earth, the Beast God Inheritance Token of Space."
"With this Beast God Inheritance Token, I can exchange it for Beast God Inheritance Token suitable for your Golden Space. As for the Beast God Inheritance Token that you were promised when you reached the Invincible King, I can exchange it for a Supreme Treasure."
"Master, this—" Lian Luo hesitated.
It wasn't that he felt Qie Qiong couldn't exchange for a Beast God Inheritance Token, but rather that he felt exchanging a Beast God Inheritance Token for a Supreme Treasure was too unfair to his teacher.
"Hmm?" Qie Qiong asked in confusion, "You don't want to!"
"No, no, no," Lian Luo hurriedly said, "I just feel that this is really too unfair to the teacher."
"Haha." Qie Qiong laughed and shook his head, saying, "A Supreme Treasure is nothing to me, and how do you know that the Beast God Inheritance Token is less valuable than a Supreme Treasure?"
It's also a matter of perspective. Although Lian Luo has extremely high authority among Human Race because he is a disciple of Qie Qiong, he doesn't know that in the Human Race Treasury, a single Beast God Inheritance Token can be exchanged for a decent ordinary weapon or armor Supreme Treasure.
"Then this disciple will respectfully accept your offer." Lian Luo, without further hesitation, bowed to Qie Qiong.
"Haha, cultivate diligently and obtain this Beast God Inheritance Token. I hope you'll quickly reach the level of Universe Venerable." Qie Qiong Lian Luo's shoulder. "At that time, our future junior brothers and sisters will all depend on you for guidance."
Throughout these eras, the Chaos City Lord urged Qie Qiong to accept disciples more than once.
However, Qie Qiong didn't particularly enjoy teaching disciples, so he could only make things difficult for his first disciple.
The Giant Axe Miniature Universe, the place where the Chaos City Lord's avatar cultivates in seclusion.
"Jixing, what brings you here? What a rare guest."
The Chaos City Lord looked at the suddenly arriving Qie Qiong with surprise.
You see, ever since he let Qie Qiong recruit disciples, this Jixing Palace Master has been avoiding him like the plague. I never expected him to actually take the initiative to seek him out.
"It seems you've thought it through." A smile appeared on the Chaos City Lord's face. "A powerful Human Race— "
Before he could finish speaking, Qie Qiong interrupted the Chaos City Lord and quickly explained the situation briefly.
"You suppressed the Lord of Sky Wolf?"
The Chaos City Lord was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.
Although the Lord of Sky Wolf was not taken seriously by the Chaos City Lord, he was still the Demon Race Universe Master, with the entire Demon Race behind him.
With the protection of the Sky Wolf Palace, even if he encountered the other party under normal circumstances, he wouldn't bother to fight the Lord of Sky Wolf.
After all, he wasn't confident he could defeat the two Universe Supreme Masters from the Demon Race before they arrived.
"Yes, the Lord of Sky Wolf is currently in my Silent Star Palace," Qie Qiong affirmed. "I am heading towards the Initial Universe."
"Although I suppressed the Lord of Sky Wolf, its Sky Wolf Palace is, after all, a high-level Supreme Treasure Palace, and I cannot open that tortoise shell," so I came to ask Chaos for help.
Although Qie Qiong's Annihilation Divine Power can destroy ordinary Supreme Treasures, it can even leave traces on top-tier Supreme Treasure Weapons like the Heavenly Qie Qiong Sky Wolf Claw.
However, Qie Qiong was powerless to help with the higher-level Supreme Treasure Palaces.
"Of course, helping is no problem." The Chaos City Lord readily agreed, after all, a Demon Race Universe Master was definitely good news for humanity.
For the Chaos City Lord, who was wholeheartedly devoted to the entire Human Race, this was the best news imaginable.
"But how did you manage to do that?" the Chaos City Lord asked, puzzled.
Even with the addition of Supreme Treasures, Qie Qiong only possesses the strength of a normal Fourth-Order Universe Master. How could he possibly capture the Lord of Sky Wolf, whom even he couldn't defeat?
"Hahaha, we have to thank the Myriad Star Compass for this," this Supreme Treasure at least suppressed the Lord of Sky Wolf's strength by a level, and his Sky Wolf Palace can hardly move an inch in the Star World."Qie Qiong laughed and explained to the Chaos City Lord.
"Regardless, being able to suppress the Lord of Sky Wolf is already quite remarkable; Supreme Treasures are also part of strength." The Chaos City Lord shook his head and smiled at Qie Qiong, "Jixing, you're truly going to become famous throughout the universe this time."
Regardless of what Qie Qiong says, being able to suppress a Universe Master is definitely a remarkable thing.
Qie Qiong nodded. With so many Kou witnessing it, he estimated that the news would soon spread throughout the Primal Universe.
However, he'll probably have another title to his name then.
The enormous phantom of Ancestor Zhen Yao, shrouded in a sawtooth shell, slowly coalesced within the Dream Demon Ancestor Secret Realm.
The Dream Demon Ancestor's silvery-white serpentine body coiled up, its icy serpentine eyes surging with boundless rage. "Jixing Palace Master! The Myriad Star Compass! Peak Palace Supreme Treasure! This Human Race is truly willing to part with it!" The Dream Demon Ancestor's voice swept through the void like ten thousand years of ice. "What a Human Race! What a Qie Qiong! To actually suppress my race 'Lord of Sky Wolf, a disgrace beyond measure!"
The Ancestor Zhen Yao's voice was deep and tinged with solemnity. "Meng Cha, anger is useless. Although Sky Wolf acted rashly this time, he is still the Demon Race Universe Master and a major powerhouse of our Demon Race. We must save him. He is suppressed in the Silent Star Palace, and that Human Race Qie Qiong is escorting him back to the Human Race's Initial Universe. Once he enters the Initial Universe and is handed over to the Chaos City Lord or the Giant Axe, rescuing him will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
The Dream Demon Ancestor raised its enormous serpent head and said, "I already know. I just arrived at the Wuhua Secret Realm, but unfortunately I was a step too late. That Jixing Palace Master is extremely cautious and swift in his actions, and he is also protected by Peak Palace Supreme Treasure. Although I was able to catch up, the rules of the Primal Universe..."
"Breaking through his Silent Star Palace and capturing him is difficult! Forcing an attack will only trigger a clan war, and might even alert the Giant Axe, resulting in more harm than good."
Even a high- Supreme Treasure Palace like the Sky Wolf Palace could withstand the attack of this Universe Supreme Master in the Primal Universe.
Not to mention Peak Supreme Treasure palace like the Silent Star Palace.
To the Primal Universe, Immortals, Universe Venerable, and Universe Masters were like its children.
The three stages— Immortal, Universe Venerable, and Universe Master— are all manifestations of the Universe Origin: giving! giving! and giving again!
Grant me boundless divine power!
By a stroke of luck, he was bestowed with Innate Secret Technique!
Grant complete control over Space-Time, grant the possibility of Reverse Time and Space and resurrection!
However, as soon as they reach the Universe Supreme Master, it's as if they've been abandoned by the Primal Universe —no, it's not even that they've been abandoned, but rather that they're hostile to it. Their strength is suppressed, and they can only exert power that's slightly stronger than the strongest Universe Master!
This is what is called the sixth rank, but it is important to know that there are almost no sixth-rank beings who have broken through to the Universe Supreme Master, because after the chaotic evolution of their own Miniature Universes, there are almost no sixth-rank beings.
Only when suppressed in the Primal Universe can it only exert its sixth-order level.
Even the Sky Wolf Palace would need some time to break through to the sixth rank! Not to mention the Silent Star Palace.
Even the Universe Supreme Master could kill Universe Master or Universe Venerable.
It is important to know that the Universe Venerable and the Universe Master are all protected by the Primal Universe!
If they really killed it--
The Universe Supreme Master will be punished by the Universe Origin! The stronger the one killed, the heavier the punishment.
If the Universe Supreme Master were to kill the Chaos City Lord in the Primal Universe, perhaps even the Punishment could kill him. Of course, firstly, the Universe Supreme Master would need to be able to kill the Chaos City Lord in the Primal Universe.
"There's no way," Ancestor Zhen Yao said slowly. "The Sky Wolf Palace is High-grade Palace Supreme Treasure. It cannot be broken by Qie Qiong, and even the Chaos City Lord outside the Initial Universe may not be able to break it easily. But with the assistance of the Initial Universe, the Sky Wolf Palace probably won't last long."
"Once Sky Wolf himself is captured, even if he is not killed, imprisoning him would be a major loss to our race and would also damage the prestige of our Demon Race."
One of the Demon Race's Universe Master has been captured. If he can't be rescued, won't he become a laughingstock among all races?!
This is even more unacceptable to the two Universe Supreme Master than losing Lord of Sky Wolf himself.
It paused, then continued, "Right now, the only option is to exchange."
"Exchange?" The Dream Demon Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly. "You mean, use Supreme Treasures and resources to exchange for Sky Wolf from the Human Race?"
"Exactly," Ancestor Zhen Yao affirmed. "Although the Human Race has benefited, Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord are not short-sighted. The Sky Wolf's survival is a valuable asset to our race, and also a bargaining chip for them."
"Killing a Sky Wolf wouldn't bring much real benefit to the Human Race; on the contrary, it would thoroughly enrage our race and trigger an uncontrollable war. But if we could redeem it at a suitable price, for them, exchanging the Sky Wolf for tangible treasures and resources to strengthen the Human Race's foundation is a calculation they understand clearly."
The Dream Demon Ancestor remained silent for a moment, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
Although it was frustrating, Ancestor Zhen Yao's analysis was indeed correct.
The situation in the Primal Universe was delicate. Although there were frictions between the elite races, a large-scale life-or-death battle would not benefit anyone.
As long as the Universe Supreme Master are alive, it won't be considered a serious blow to the top races.
"What price will we have to pay?" the Dream Demon Ancestor's voice was icy. "The Human Race will definitely demand an exorbitant price. They finally captured one of our Universe Masters; they probably won't let go easily."
"The price will certainly be high," Ancestor Zhen Yao agreed. "One Peak Supreme Treasure might not be enough, but two—or perhaps a vast amount of rare resources and territorial compensation. The exact amount will need to be negotiated."
"The key is to show Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord sincerity, to show them the importance of redeeming Sky Wolf to our race, and to make them feel that this deal is more worthwhile than imprisoning or killing Sky Wolf."
They never cared whether the Lord of Sky Wolf would be Soul Enslavement. After all, the Lord of Sky Wolf was the Universe Master, and there weren't many beings in the Primal Universe who could enslave him.
While the Human Race once had one, they don't have one now!
Its enormous phantom said directly, "This matter needs to be handled quickly. Qie Qiong is on his way back, and we don't have much time left."
"Perfect timing. My true form is currently active on the outskirts of the Universe Ocean Tilted Peak Realm, and I sensed that the Giant Axe's aura appeared in my vicinity not long ago."
The Dream Demon Ancestor's eyes lit up. "That's perfect, the Zhen Jiao is yours now."
The Divine Power Avatar of the Ancestor Zhen Yao nodded. "I will set off immediately and head directly to the area where the Giant Axe is located to speak with him face to face!"
"Alright! Zhen Jiao, I'll leave this matter to you." The Dream Demon Ancestor's voice carried a hint of solemnity and expectation, "You must bring back Sky Wolf! As for the price—as long as it doesn't shake the foundation of our race, we can agree to it."
"Jixing Palace Master — Human Race —Hmph, this score will be settled later!"
"Rest assured." The Divine Power Avatar of the Ancestor Zhen Yao began to blur, leaving behind only these words: "I will make the Giant Axe understand that a living Sky Wolf is more valuable to Human Race than a dead Universe Master. Await my news."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Divine Power Avatar of the Ancestor Zhen Yao completely dissipated within the Dream Demon Ancestor Secret Realm.
Almost at the same moment, in the outer region of the Universe Ocean and the Tilted Peak Realm Boundary.
The Ancestor Zhen Yao looked in the direction of the Giant Axe's aura. "Giant Axe— " the Ancestor Zhen Yao whispered, and its vast divine power erupted. Without the slightest hesitation, its enormous body transformed into a stream of Flowing Light and shot towards the approximate location of the Giant Axe Founder.
