Chapter 177: Peak Supreme Treasure

In a remote corner of the Universe, more than 90 billion light‑years from human populations, Zhou Yang first used Divine Kingdom Teleportation to the nearest point of these coordinates, then boarded the Yunmo Star and spent nearly two years traversing the Dark Universe before finally arriving here.

"That mountain‑dwelling teacher, lives here?"

Clad in Dark Gold Battle Armor, Zhou Yang stepped off the Yunmo Star and stood directly in the pitch‑black starry sky.

At a glance, before his eyes was total darkness, not a speck of light, not a single star, absolute silence and cold.

"The void of the Universe?"

Zhou Yang thought to himself: as the Universe evolves, galaxies are born, and there are gaps between galaxies. Vast numbers of galaxies combine into a "star region," and the distances between star regions are even greater; the gaps between star sectors are even larger.

As for the human domain, between it and the domains of other races lies an incomparably vast void of pitch‑black emptiness.

These voids are resource‑poor, unsuitable for life, so no race expends effort to occupy them.

Zhou Yang stared at the black void; even with his sight he could not detect any glimmer of light, enough to attest to the terrifying vastness of this empty starry sky.

"Disciple, aren't you coming in?"

A voice sounded beside Zhou Yang's ear.

Zhou Yang turned his head to look.

"Buzz~"

The space rippled slightly, and a brilliant radiance spread across a golden, ornate, exquisite bridge.

The whole bridge seemed forged from transparent crystal stone; Zhou Yang flew across, landed on it, and headed toward its far end.

With that step, he instantly felt the space undergo violent fluctuations.

"Hm?"

Zhou Yang immediately checked the Universe coordinates and was shocked to find that each step on the bridge spanned tens of millions of light‑years.

From one end of the bridge to the other.

The Universe coordinates had shifted by 1.2 billion light‑years! At the bridge's far end lay an exquisite pool, with various fish swimming within.

"Not right."

Zhou Yang glanced back; the bridge had seemed only a hundred meters long, yet it spanned 1.2 billion light‑years, and the pool was only a few hundred meters in diameter. Yet, by his Divine Power perception, this was not a pool or fish at all—it was a Domain-type Supreme Treasure of overwhelming power!

Walking along the pool, there were flower beds and lawns beside it.

Zhou Yang examined closely; those seemingly insignificant blades of grass were actually ancient towering trees, and even the decorative stones beside them were metal masses as large as stars!

"Impressive."

"So this is the power of the Universe Strongest; such control over cosmic space is truly unimaginable."

As Zhou Yang walked, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The mountain‑dweller's abode was exceedingly tranquil, yet concealed limitless mysteries within.

That exquisite palace and pool, for instance, were respectively a flying Palace Type Supreme Treasure and a Domain-type Supreme Treasure; the other items were also rare, precious materials found throughout the Universe.

……

Zhou Yang proceeded into the palace, entered a garden, and saw the mountain‑dweller holding a stone, stroking it while his eyes were closed.

"Teacher."

Zhou Yang stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

The mountain‑dweller opened his eyes, set the stone aside, and smiled at him: "You came rather quickly."

"I heard you say the Supreme Treasure has been refined; naturally the disciple is itching to know."

Zhou Yang also laughed.

The black stone the mountain‑dweller had previously given him, inscribed with Treasure Refining Inheritance, was in fact an Ordinary Supreme Treasure that also possessed communication functions.

After Zhou Yang completed his breakthrough and returned from the New Universe, he received word from the mountain‑dweller that the Supreme Treasure promised to him had been finished.

Back then, during their first meeting on Earth, the mountain‑dweller had promised him a Peak Supreme Treasure!

The Peak Supreme Treasure, at this tier, is enough to make countless Universe Masters go mad with desire to seize it; Zhou Yang naturally was eager, and upon receiving the mountain‑dweller's message he hurried here immediately!

"May I ask what kind of Supreme Treasure the teacher has forged for the disciple?"

Zhou Yang asked out of curiosity.

"You little fellow are indeed impatient."

The mountain‑dweller shook his head with a smile, then rose and walked toward the interior of the palace, "Come, let's see your Supreme Treasure armor."

"Armor?"

Zhou Yang was momentarily stunned, then quickly followed.

……

This was a hall with very distinctive decorations; its walls were covered with numerous carvings depicting scenes—two mighty figures battling on a vast plain, a powerful being slaughtering hordes of others—exuding ancient aura and pressure, and the images together cast a strange atmosphere over the entire hall.

"It feels as if I'm on a battlefield."

Within the hall, Zhou Yang felt his blood boil, an urge to engage in fierce combat, which startled him inwardly: "My will is even being affected."

"Everything placed in this hall are Supreme Treasures, including decorative items; all are Supreme Treasures, though Ordinary Supreme Treasures make up the majority," the mountain‑dweller said.

Zhou Yang scanned the scene.

The hall contained countless displayed implements, each bearing knives, swords, ropes, cords, spindles, halberds, hammers, axes, bells, towers, ships, balls, flowers, grasses, fabrics, shields, statues, cubes and myriad other items—thousands in total—scattered throughout the hall.

"All are Supreme Treasures?"

He couldn't help but be amazed at the mountain‑dweller's extravagant wealth.

"Ordinary Supreme Treasures are just made casually; to me they hold no value," the mountain‑dweller laughed, "things like communication tokens, decorations, display ornaments... are generally Ordinary Supreme Treasures."

Zhou Yang silently clicked his tongue in astonishment.

Only someone so bold would speak like that; Ordinary Supreme Treasures are made at a whim.

At the same time, he secretly looked forward, thinking that such a 'rich' inhuman strongman would surely prepare a proper master‑apprentice gift.

"Teacher, which one is mine?"

He couldn't help but ask eagerly.

"Look there."

The Mountain-Seat Guest pointed from afar.

Zhou Yang followed the direction of the Mountain-Seat Guest's finger and at a glance saw a seemingly ordinary set of armor in the corner.

The armor had a simple, ancient design and was entirely dark Jin Shu in color.

The armor comprised a breastplate, helmet, arm guards, gauntlets, greaves and war boots—a full set of battle armor—each piece etched with dense, intricate secret patterns.

These secret patterns seemed to contain endless mysteries of the laws, and Zhou Yang, after just one glance, couldn't help but become immersed in them.

"Teacher, these secret patterns—"

He said in surprise.

"You can see it?"

The Mountain-Seat Guest smiled lightly, "I have imprinted the entirety of the Chaos secret pattern's profound meaning into it, allowing you to fully unleash the complete power of the Fusion Law."

"Chaos secret pattern?"

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up.

Different Supreme Treasures emphasize different aspects during refinement, and their suitability for various strong individuals also varies.

For example, the ordinary Domain-type Supreme Treasure Thunder Light Realm he obtained is a Thunder Lightning attribute Domain-type Supreme Treasure; the Thunder Lightning Law can be used by an Immortal strongman, and its domain can overlap with this treasure's domain, increasing its power.

If one becomes a Universe Venerable through the Time Law, since the Time Law is a higher law above the Thunder Lightning Law, its domain can also overlap with this treasure's domain, boosting its power.

However, Immortals or Spatial Venerables who cultivate other laws are not suited to use this treasure.

Zhou Yang, who practices the Ten Great Laws, can naturally and easily wield any law‑attribute Supreme Treasure.

However, all Supreme Treasures existing in the current Universe are essentially single‑attribute, at most Gold Void, Wood Void, Light Time. For this kind of dual‑attribute Fusion type, he can only activate it with a single law's power, preventing him from fully expressing his ultimate combat strength.

After all, no one in this Universe has yet comprehended the Chaos Law, so naturally no one can refine such multi‑attribute Fusion Supreme Treasures.

However, who is before him? It's the Mountain-Seat Guest, a former Divine King‑rank treasure refiner; what others cannot do is no difficulty for them! The Mountain-Seat Guest raised a hand, and the ancient, dark Jin Shu armor instantly flew forward.

"Buzz!"

All the secret patterns on the battle armor lit up, and boundless pressure spread instantly! At this moment, the life seal within Zhou Yang's Divine Power was fully imprinted onto it.

"Clack, clack, clack"

The armor's individual pieces automatically fitted onto Zhou Yang in the blink of an eye, and he transformed into a Golden Armor War God! What Zhou Yang did not expect was that, although this divine armor looks like a set of armor, it also possesses extremely strong "attack" power.

This divine armor consists of a breastplate, helmet, arm guards, gauntlets, greaves and war boots; the other parts are Top‑tier Supreme Treasure, while the pair of gauntlets has reached Peak Supreme Treasure level!

The combination of all parts caused the treasure's tier to surge, making both defense and attack monstrously powerful.

Perhaps this can no longer be called an armor Supreme Treasure, but should be regarded as a set‑type Supreme Treasure!

"Hoo hoo hoo~~~"

Zhou Yang continuously poured massive Divine Power into this armor Supreme Treasure, the intricate secret patterns lit up on the battle armor, and boundless power rippled in all directions.

He raised his palm, and with a casual activation, a Chaos Hole slowly formed between the dark Jin Shu gauntlets.

"The flow of power becomes swifter, and the amplitude intensity soars dramatically."

Zhou Yang silently felt it, his heart racing, "With this treasure on me, when I unleash the Chaos Hole Suppression move, its power skyrockets to the extreme; even the topmost Universal Overlord would hardly be able to easily block this technique!"

"Hoo hoo hoo~~~"

After a long while, the dazzling brilliance gradually subsided.

"Thank you, Teacher, this treasure—I, your disciple, am very satisfied!"

Zhou Yang gave a respectful bow to the Mountain-Seat Guest.

"Haha, as long as you like it."

The Mountain-Seat Guest smiled lightly, "This treasure armor is called 'Reincarnation Divine Armor', named after your title."

"The current power of this divine armor is still limited; defensively it can reduce both material attacks and Soul Attack to one ten‑thousandth, barely reaching the Peak Supreme Treasure armor tier. Offensively it's fairly good, ranking among the upper echelons of Peak Supreme Treasures."

The Mountain-Seat Guest looked at Zhou Yang and continued, "However, I did expend considerable effort refining this divine armor, so its power can still be further enhanced."

"Further enhancement?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but be puzzled, "Teacher, once this treasure is refined, isn't it set? How can it still be further enhanced?"

"Ordinary Supreme Treasures certainly cannot."

The Mountain-Seat Guest smiled lightly, "But you should have sensed that this Reincarnation Divine Armor is not a pure armor Supreme Treasure, but was refined using a set‑type Supreme Treasure method."

"According to my expectation, the complete form of this treasure, besides the current main components, should also include 10,081 ordinary Supreme Treasure scales; only when all left and right parts are gathered can the true power of this 'Reincarnation Divine Armor' be unleashed!"

The Mountain-Seat Guest, while speaking, looked at Zhou Yang; a fist‑sized transparent crystal sphere drifted toward him, "Inside are all the refining methods for this divine armor. Since you must learn the Treasure Refining Art, consider this a test I leave you; the 10,081 scales of this divine armor are for you to complete yourself."
