Chapter 449

In the special space within the Blue Wave Sea where Lu Qing is located.

Just as the powerful figures from various factions sensed the disturbance and rushed toward Lu Qing’s location, Lu Qing also ceased his contemplation of the legacy left behind by the Fire Void Beast God, Fenkong .

At this moment, Lu Qing was completely unaware of the commotion outside, yet his infinite divine sea avatar within his divine domain remained connected to the Virtual Universe, heading toward the Axe Founder’s divine palace.

After all, his gains this time were truly immense—entirely sufficient to match half the wealth held by the human race.

Although his current strength should allow him to return safely to the Original Universe, carrying such vast resources naturally demanded greater caution.

Not to mention!

In special zones like the Blue Wave Sea where instantaneous teleportation is impossible, cosmic lords can at most accelerate to a hundred times the speed of light—the maximum permitted by the laws of motion—while cosmic supreme beings can break through these limitations, reaching speeds of a thousand, ten thousand, even a hundred thousand times the speed of light…

With the Axe Founder’s assistance awaiting him, even if unforeseen dangers arose, he could still return safely to the Original Universe.

…

In the Virtual Universe, within the Axe Founder’s independent dimension.

At the center of the dimension stood a majestic divine palace, and before it loomed a colossal axe radiating overwhelming energy.

Whoosh!

A figure clad in dark golden battle armor suddenly appeared before the grand palace gates—it was Lu Qing, his consciousness linked to the Virtual Universe.

“Axe Founder!”

Lu Qing gazed toward the palace ahead and called out loudly.

His voice echoed directly into the hall, reverberating within.

Normally, when the Axe Founder ventured into the Cosmic Sea, he left behind a divine force avatar in the Original Universe to maintain his connection to the Virtual Universe—let alone now that his true body had already returned.

Thus, barely had Lu Qing finished speaking when a deep yet piercing voice sounded in his ears: “Wanjie, why stand outside the door instead of entering?”

Simultaneously, the palace gates burst open with a thunderous crash.

“Without your nod, Axe Founder, I dare not intrude!”

Lu Qing replied with a smile, then stepped inside the palace.

As Lu Qing entered, the chaotic energy flows within automatically parted to either side, and soon he saw the Axe Founder seated upon the throne ahead.

“Wanjie!”

The Axe Founder gestured for Lu Qing to take a seat beside him, then smiled and asked: “What brings you here all of a sudden?”

The Axe Founder had already learned from the Chaos City Lord that Lu Qing had created a fusion supreme technique for cosmic lords, and the Virtual Universe had also notified him of Lu Qing’s exchange for the Miti Illusion Palace.

He knew well that Lu Qing, with his array of tools, was now the most formidable human being after himself—only slightly lacking in defensive treasures.

“It’s like this!”

Lu Qing spoke quickly: “Axe Founder, I’m currently exploring the Blue Wave Sea within the Cosmic Boat. By sheer fortune, I’ve uncovered the treasure left behind by a cosmic supreme being who perished eons ago!”

“But these treasures are too precious—I wondered if you might come to meet me, so I can safely bring them back to the Original Universe!”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, the Axe Founder’s eyes instantly lit up.

He knew Lu Qing already possessed fifth-rank power.

Coupled with Lu Qing’s immense reserves of divine energy, he could easily safeguard two or three peak-tier domain treasures.

Now, having just acquired these treasures, he came seeking aid out of fear of mishaps—how invaluable must this cache truly be?

Thinking this, the Axe Founder quickly said: “A treasure left by a cosmic supreme being? Wanjie, your gains this time are enormous!”

“Indeed, my gains are substantial!”

Lu Qing nodded swiftly: “The cosmic supreme being’s cache includes eleven peak-tier domain treasures, twenty-seven peak-tier weapons, armors, and top-tier domain treasures, and roughly a hundred lesser treasures scattered among them—plus alchemical materials, special resources, and items capable of elevating a cosmic lord’s life gene tier…”

“Additionally, this cosmic supreme being left behind statues of the eight primordial beast gods of his cycle—these could aid our human race’s young geniuses in comprehending the Beast God Dao.”

“Together, these are too precious. Though my strength has grown significantly, I still lag behind cosmic supreme beings. I humbly ask you, Axe Founder, to come and escort me—so we may safely return these resources to our human race’s territory!”

“This…”

Upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, the Axe Founder was momentarily stunned.

“Eleven peak-tier domain treasures… over twenty peak-tier armors…”

Regaining his composure, the Axe Founder’s face glowed with excitement: “This alone rivals half the resources our human race currently holds!”

He recalled how, after eons of exploration in the Original Stars and the Cosmic Sea, his own gains had been scarcely greater than Lu Qing’s.

“Wanjie, you found this treasure in the Blue Wave Sea?”

The Axe Founder asked quickly: “Our human race has had warriors recover relics from fallen supreme beings before—but never more than one or two peak-tier treasures. I never imagined your haul would be this massive!”

“The fallen supreme being’s strength rivaled the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan—and he achieved cosmic supreme status through primal beast god evolution!”

Lu Qing smiled: “He left these treasures primarily to ensure his legacy wouldn’t vanish, so he stored much of his arsenal there.”

Upon hearing this, the Axe Founder first blinked in surprise, then quickly smiled.

The surprise stemmed from the fact that the treasure’s owner was a primal beast god; the smile, from Lu Qing’s extraordinary windfall.

“Hahaha!”

The Axe Founder burst into laughter: “Who knew a primal beast god could ascend to cosmic supreme status? Too bad we weren’t contemporaries—I’d have loved to test my mettle against him!”

“But for our human race, Wanjie, your acquisition of this master’s legacy and treasure is pure fortune!”

“I’ll depart immediately and head straight for the Blue Wave Sea!”

“But I’ve only just returned to the Original Universe—it will take time to reach the Blue Wave Sea.”

“I recall Peng Gong and Qingdong are currently exploring within the Cosmic Boat, and their location is near your position. I’ll notify them to rendezvous with you.”

“Thank you, Axe Founder,” Lu Qing smiled.

“No trouble at all!”

The Axe Founder laughed: “I spent ages in the Cosmic Sea before luck granted me one peak-tier palace treasure. Now, merely escorting you brings our human race such a windfall—if this is trouble, I’d welcome it every time!”

“Hahaha!” Hearing this, Lu Qing couldn’t help but laugh too.

Soon, the Axe Founder summoned Peng Gong Lord and Qingdong Lord, informed them of the situation, and ordered them to rush to the Blue Wave Sea to meet Lu Qing.

At that moment, Peng Gong Lord had just sensed the emergence of a treasure in a perilous zone of the Cosmic Boat. Without hesitation, he immediately activated his palace treasure and sped toward the Blue Wave Sea.

…

Cosmic Boat, Blue Wave Sea region, within Lu Qing’s special space.

“Finally, everything’s arranged!”

After informing the Axe Founder, Lu Qing finally exhaled in relief.

It wasn’t that he was impatient—it was simply that these resources were invaluable to both him and the human race.

Just as when he exchanged for the peak-tier palace treasure, Miti Illusion Palace, Lord Huangjian had long saved the resources—but the human race’s treasury lacked such a treasure, so the exchange remained delayed.

Now, he alone had acquired three peak-tier palace treasures; even after keeping one for himself, two remained to contribute to the human race’s treasury!

And the peak-tier domain treasures!

Like the Thousand Treasures River used by the Chaos City Lord—even though it’s a top-tier domain treasure of the highest caliber, it’s still under-equipped for a fifth-rank cosmic lord.

Is it because the Chaos City Lord lacks sufficient resources to exchange for a stronger peak-tier domain treasure?

No!

It’s simply because peak-tier domain treasures are so rare in the human race’s treasury that even the Chaos City Lord can only equip one for his avatar exploring the Cosmic Sea.

His avatar guarding the Original Secret Realm makes do with the Thousand Treasures River.

Now, with Lu Qing donating multiple peak-tier domain treasures to the human race’s treasury, other strongholds will have far greater options.

“Now I only need to wait here in this special space until Peng Gong Lord, Qingdong Lord, and the Axe Founder arrive—then we can return together to the Original Universe.”

Lu Qing thought inwardly: “Once I fully absorb this opportunity, our human race’s overall strength will rise noticeably.”

But at that moment, Lu Qing suddenly felt the space he occupied beginning to destabilize.

Boom!

Violent ripples erupted suddenly in the surrounding void, as if it were about to collapse at any instant.
