Not long ago.
Virtual Universe, Special Space.
The Swallow Eagle Master, whose image was a deep green flying bird with golden feathers on its head, arrived.
A throne, also a thousand meters high, quickly condensed beside the throne Ender was sitting on.
The Swallow Eagle Master landed on the throne, turned his head and asked, "Void River, have you got the treasure?"
"I had it..."
Ender frowned slightly, "But because the Sky Wolf Master of the Demon race interfered with the control of Time-Space, I lost control of the treasure."
"Sky Wolf Master? Why would he help the Northern Territory Alliance?"
The Swallow Eagle Master heard this and felt strange, "Doing this is completely detrimental to others and not beneficial to oneself."
"Who knows?"
Ender's eyes were cold, "Maybe the Sky Wolf Master deliberately made trouble for me!"
"Hmm... Since the Sky Wolf Master intervened, I'll just come over then."
The Swallow Eagle Master nodded slightly, "I will soon descend through Original Star Channel 2131."
Ender nodded slightly, "Just right, the Venerable Peifeng's escape route should be heading towards Original Star Channel 2131."
He felt it was too coincidental, but he didn't care much, as long as he could get the treasure.
Venerable Hansha had broken through the blockade from Original Star Channel 2131, and the Venerable Peifeng would certainly rush to meet him and hand over the treasure to the former.
Compared to the Venerable Hansha, whose strength was close to a Top-tier Universe Overlord, the Venerable Peifeng's strength was obviously much weaker, making it easier for the former to carry the treasure back to the Northern Territory Alliance.
"It seems that the 'Zhu Yan' component is destined to belong to the Hong Alliance."
The Swallow Eagle Master smiled, "Wait for my good news."
...
Original Star 10000, in front of a certain vortex channel.
The Sky Wolf Master, who was about ten kilometers long, with flames spiraling around his body and a pitch-black complexion, was very proud.
He used Time-Space Control to disrupt the Void River Master's Time-Space Control, causing him to lose control of the 'Zhu Yan' component.
On the Original Star, a Universe Master can control the Time-Space of the entire Original Star and easily suppress and kill Advanced Venerables.
However, once interfered with by the Time-Space Control of other Universe Masters, at a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers, a Universe Master who wants to kill a Universe Overlord can only fly over at sub-light speed.
And Ender's current situation was exactly like this.
To kill the Venerable Peifeng and obtain the treasure, he could only fly over and use a Domain type Arcana Treasure to suppress the opponent from a greater distance.
But the problem was that the coverage of a Domain type Arcana Treasure on the Original Star was limited, barely able to cover hundreds of millions of kilometers, far less powerful than it was outside.
"Hmph hmph! I finally got my chance!"
The Sky Wolf Master felt a sense of revenge, "You made me lose face in the clan and constantly ridiculed me; now it's your turn to experience this feeling."
"Mobilized so many Universe Overlords, the 'Zhu Yan' component that was originally within reach has now been taken by the Venerable Peifeng again."
"Hehe, when the Void River Master returns to the Human Territory, he will probably be ridiculed a lot."
The Sky Wolf Master managed the Demon race's intelligence department and was also responsible for arranging assassinations of the three races' Geniuses.
When Ender and Kedi participated in the same Genius Battle, the latter showed the talent of mixing Time and Space Law at the Stellar Rank, which made him rank the latter as NO.1 on the assassination list!
During Kedi's training period at the Virtual Universe Company, the Demon race spent a lot of effort on assassinations, but all ended in failure.
During this period, Ender also showed talent no less than Kedi's, but the Sky Wolf Master still ordered the assassination of the latter as the priority.
As a result, the assassination of Kedi failed, and he watched Ender grow rapidly step by step, now even becoming a Third-rank Pinnacle Universe Master stronger than him!
It was precisely because the Sky Wolf Master misjudged and invested a large amount of manpower and resources into assassinating Kedi, which led to some Demon race Universe Masters ridiculing him for it.
In fact, the Sky Wolf Master was also very helpless; he didn't know that Ender's growth rate would be so fast!
He became a Universe Overlord in just tens of thousands of years.
In hundreds of thousands of years, he had the strength of a Heaven-Defying Top-tier Universe Overlord.
After ten million years, he appeared on the Original Star, not only becoming a Universe Master but also creating the Strongest Secret Technique!
"Hmph hmph, what if he grows fast and is a Third-rank Pinnacle Universe Master?"
The Sky Wolf Master grinned smugly, "He still lost the treasure in my hands now."
In terms of strength, he was indeed inferior to the Void River Master.
But even if his strength was weak, he could still make him suffer!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the Sky Wolf Master's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look into the distance.
Boom!
On Original Star 2131, a majestic azure figure descended.
It was a deep green flying bird with golden feathers on its head, enveloped in a pale green Domain, exuding a powerful Immortal Energy pressure.
"Swallow Eagle Master!"
The Sky Wolf Master's eyes contained a hint of anger, "He actually descended on the Original Star, and he descended there..."
The Swallow Eagle Master, the Human Alliance's only alien Fourth-rank Universe Master, and his strength was no less than that of the Desolation Master and the Void Gold Master!
With his Fourth-rank Pinnacle strength, he could completely support an Alliance second only to the Twelve top forces, just like the Mystwing Master of the Muqi Alliance.
Under normal circumstances, even if a strong individual like the Swallow Eagle Master descended on the Original Star, it wouldn't make him so uncomfortable.
But the problem was, the location of the channel he descended through was too close to the Northern Territory Alliance's Venerable Peifeng and Venerable Hansha...
Too close!
...
Near Original Star Channel 2131.
Venerable Hansha was about to meet up with the Venerable Peifeng; together, they could completely break through the blockade of Original Star 2131.
But the suddenly descending majestic figure, with its pale green Domain rapidly expanding, directly made these two Universe Overlords of the Northern Territory Alliance dare not move rashly!
"It's the Swallow Eagle Master!"
"Why would this great existence descend so quickly!"
Enveloped by the Domain type Arcana Treasure, the Venerable Hansha and the Venerable Peifeng felt a powerful restraint, a pressure exceeding that of Time-Space Control.
They both knew what kind of existence the Swallow Eagle Master was.
If the Void River Master was already very strong, there were no more than ten individuals in the Northern Territory Alliance who could suppress him.
Then the Swallow Eagle Master was even more terrifying; only a great existence like the Star River Master could truly suppress this leader of the Yanying clan!
"Hand over the 'Zhu Yan' component."
The Swallow Eagle Master's body was enormous, with a wingspan exceeding thirty thousand kilometers, as he looked down at the two Universe Overlords of the Northern Territory Alliance.
The pale green Domain's pressure was too strong, and facing a super strong individual even more terrifying than his teacher, the Venerable Peifeng couldn't even think of delaying time.
"Swallow Eagle Master, this is the 'Zhu Yan' component."
He took out the silver moon blade, erased the life imprint, and threw it out.
Whoosh!
The pale green Domain, under the Swallow Eagle Master's control, carried the silver moon blade back.
"Good luck."
The Swallow Eagle Master was slightly pleased in his heart, "I originally intended to just come and see if I could help Void River, but I didn't expect to actually help."
The Void River Master was a super Genius cultivated by humanity, very similar to the Changjiu Lord of the Demon race in the past.
In the eyes of many alien Hall Masters of the Hong Alliance, the Void River Master was no less than the Changjiu Lord and would become humanity's third Fifth-rank Universe Master, or even the second True God!
The reason they believed this was simply because the Void River Master was truly Heaven-Defying, cultivating the Beast God Path to become a Universe Master, and at such a fast speed!
It wasn't that there were no Universe Masters who became one in ten million years in the Universe, but all of them cultivated the Time-Space Path.
Independently cultivating the Beast God Path and becoming a Universe Master within ten million years, in the entire Universe... there was only this one example!
Not to mention that the Void River Master also created the Strongest Secret Technique; as long as his treasures and life gene level could keep up, he could be ranked Fourth-rank.
This made it so that even the Swallow Eagle Master, a Fourth-rank Pinnacle Universe Master, had to find a way to befriend him.
After all, he was ultimately an alien, and the Hong Alliance was dominated by the Human Race!
...
"Venerable Peifeng, you're quite bold."
With this in mind, the Swallow Eagle Master refined the silver moon blade, and his consciousness received no messages, knowing that this was indeed the 'Zhu Yan' component.
"Swallow Eagle Master!"
The Venerable Peifeng heard this and immediately became anxious, wanting to explain, "I..."
Swish!
The pale green Domain surged, and a blade of light flew past the Venerable Peifeng's Divine Body, its powerful might directly exceeding the upper limit of the Arcana treasure he wore.
Crack!
After taking a hit, the Venerable Peifeng's aura was very weak, his Divine Body only had less than 10% remaining, and his Arcana treasure armor even made a soft sound.
"My Arcana treasure armor!"
The Venerable Peifeng's six eyes widened, sensing that cracks had appeared in his refined Arcana treasure armor, and his heart ached instantly!
This Arcana treasure armor was of no low quality, its value close to a High-level Arcana treasure weapon; it was his confidence in traversing the Universe.
But now, this precious Arcana treasure armor... had cracks!
"This is the punishment for your audacity in trying to reclaim the treasure."
The Swallow Eagle Master said indifferently, "Alright, you may leave."
"Thank you, Swallow Eagle Master."
Venerable Hansha, seeing that he was not punished, quickly bowed.
"Yes."
The Venerable Peifeng was heartbroken and desperately wanted to kill the Swallow Eagle Master, but he still had to bow his head.
"Peifeng, I'll take you."
Venerable Hansha, using Immortal Energy, carried the extremely weak Venerable Peifeng through the pale green Domain's opening and flew towards the vortex channel in the sky.
"Void River."
After obtaining the silver moon blade, the Swallow Eagle Master, in his Immortal Energy Avatar, said, "The Pinnacle Arcana treasure 'Zhu Yan' component is in hand."
"As long as it's in hand."
Ender nodded slightly, "Now, the Hong Alliance has the capital to threaten the Flying Spirit Alliance."
He came to seize the 'Zhu Yan' component precisely to give the Hong Alliance the capital to threaten, and if necessary, make the Flying Spirit Alliance bow down.
As long as the component was obtained, whether it was him or the Swallow Eagle Master who obtained it, there was no difference.
The 'Zhu Yan' component was very important to the Flying Spirit Alliance, as it related to whether a Pinnacle Arcana treasure could exert its full power.
But its importance to the Hong Alliance was greatly reduced; it was merely capital to threaten the Flying Spirit Alliance.
In terms of value, it was at most comparable to a cheap Top-tier Arcana treasure armor.
Suddenly, Ender and the Swallow Eagle Master regained their ability to control the Time-Space of the Original Star.
"The Sky Wolf Master has left."
Seeing this, Ender noticed that the Sky Wolf Master's figure had disappeared.
"Haha, that's normal."
The Swallow Eagle Master laughed, "The Sky Wolf Master's strength is very average; he relies on his famous Arcana treasure, the Sky Wolf Palace, to roam the Universe."
"That Sky Wolf Palace is an excellent High-level flying palace Arcana treasure; even a Fifth-rank Universe Master would have to expend some effort to break it."
"However, I have a Top-tier sealing palace-type Arcana treasure, so the Sky Wolf Master wouldn't dare to challenge me."
The Swallow Eagle Master explained, "The Sky Wolf Master is notoriously a bully; he wouldn't dare to offend a strong individual who can suppress the Sky Wolf Palace."
"Sky Wolf Master, I've noted this matter today..."
Ender thought to himself, "One day, I will break your turtle shell, and then we'll see how arrogant you can be."
A Fifth-rank Universe Master could break the Sky Wolf Palace, but it would take a long time, and that time would be enough for the Demon race's strong individuals to arrive.
But Ender was different; he had a Xeon Arcana treasure weapon, and even the worst Xeon Arcana treasure had sixth-tier power.
As long as he created a Fusion Strongest Secret Technique, he would be able to unleash the attack power of a sixth-tier Universe Master and completely break the Sky Wolf Palace in a short time.
With the Sky Wolf Master's Third-rank strength, once the Sky Wolf Palace was broken, it would be extremely easy to kill him!
"We should leave; the Flying Spirit Alliance's strong individuals will probably arrive soon."
The Swallow Eagle Master said, "If the Yu Ling Master comes, it will be troublesome."
"Mm."
Ender heard this and flew towards the nearest vortex channel.
...
Human Territory, Primal Secret Realm.
Not long after Ender returned to the Thousand Treasure River Territory, he received a message from his race.
He and the Swallow Eagle Master teamed up to seize the Pinnacle Arcana treasure 'Zhu Yan' component, receiving a reward of 20 Arcana Treasure Points.
Upon receiving the message, Ender couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "The value is even lower than I expected..."
Before, he had guessed that the component's value could be comparable to a cheap Top-tier Arcana treasure armor.
But now it seemed that its value was at most equivalent to an excellent High-level Arcana treasure armor.
"20 Arcana Treasure Points, that's not a small amount..."
Ender murmured, "Accumulating small amounts, I'm one small step closer to exchanging for a Pinnacle Arcana treasure armor."
"This time, the 'Zhu Yan' component appeared, and it was the Venerable Bei Ming who reported it to me."
"I remember he hasn't become a direct Venerable of a Universe Master yet."
He thought to himself, "Since he made me 20 Arcana Treasure Points, I can give him a chance."
Thinking of this, Ender sent an email to the Venerable Bei Ming.
...
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island Central Mountains, halfway up the mountain.
In the Main Hall of a palace complex, the Venerable Bei Ming sat on a throne, his face showing unconcealable excitement.
"The Void River Master wants to see me; this day has finally come!"
He had been a Venerable for so long, and now he could finally become a direct Venerable of a Universe Master!
Swish!
The Venerable Bei Ming clicked on the address in the email and disappeared directly as a white light.
Space shifted.
In an instant, he arrived inside a majestic palace and saw the black-haired, vertically-pupiled youth sitting on the throne.
"Greetings, Void River Master."
The Venerable Bei Ming bowed respectfully, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"Bei Ming, your timely report of the 'Zhu Yan' component's news this time helped our Human Race successfully seize the 'Zhu Yan' component."
Ender said softly, "Presumably, the race has already given you a reward. Now I want to ask you, are you willing to become my direct Venerable?"
The Venerable Bei Ming immediately replied, "This subordinate is willing."
"Good, as my direct Venerable, I naturally won't be harsh."
Ender nodded with satisfaction, "I bestow upon you 2 Arcana Treasure Points to exchange for treasures to enhance your strength."
"Thank you, Void River Master!"
The Venerable Bei Ming bowed respectfully, but his heart was filled with joy.
2 Arcana Treasure Points were enough to exchange for two ordinary Arcana treasures: a weapon and armor.
And the reward given by the race, plus his conversion of unused treasures into contributions, was enough to exchange for a better Top-tier Domain type Heavy Treasure.
This way, his strength would greatly increase, and he would have stronger self-preservation ability when facing Universe Overlords.
"Go."
Ender's voice sounded.
"Yes, this subordinate takes his leave."
Hearing this, the Venerable Bei Ming bowed respectfully, took two steps back, and disappeared as a stream of light.
Ender looked down at the white light and murmured, "Bei Ming is a relatively ancient Venerable; his strength hasn't improved for countless years, so it won't be easy to cultivate him into a Universe Overlord."
"Unless I can refine an Arcana treasure armor that can bestow stronger basic power..."
"Never mind, it's more important to create secret techniques and acquire treasures on the Original Star first, as it concerns going to the three Dangerous Lands of the Universe Ocean."
He shook his head slightly, "The matter of researching the gene map is not urgent for now."
With this in mind, he closed his eyes, his consciousness entering the Special Space to create secret techniques.
...
A million years later.
A palace appeared on Original Star 233, and Ender received the news and rushed there immediately...
