Chapter 183: Giant Axe Temple

This silent, ancient starry sky seemed frozen, appearing exceedingly oppressive.

Four massive phantasms formed from four streams of thought were positioned in three directions.

Among them, the huge silver‑white snake head and a strange beast cloaked in a serrated shell shared the same direction.

A graceful figure stood in another direction.

The massive oval black sphere phantom also occupied a solitary direction.

"Everyone knows the situation."

The Silver White Great Snake's voice was icy cold, "That Human Race Zhou Yang possesses means to control space‑time, and also has mastered a tremendously powerful Universe Master's Strongest Secret Method, which can instantly burn massive Divine Power to unleash a formidable attack. Moreover, he should also have a specially large doppelganger that can rapidly restore his Divine Power, and in the end even the Rotating Annihilation fell into his hands!"

"With control over space‑time, the Universe Master's Strongest Secret Method, and an ultra‑strong divine body, Zhou Yang can already be regarded as a Universe Master."

The black sphere phantom's voice was solemn.

"Not only that, according to Tu Jiang, Zhou Yang ultimately vanished calmly by teleporting amid their space‑time contest, and he went beyond their detection range. This indicates he possesses something akin to a 'Domain', even more exaggerated than a 'Domain', allowing a special means to bypass space‑time control and teleport directly."

The graceful figure, the Insect Race Queen, spoke with her usual gentle, endlessly alluring tone, "With such defiant escape methods, unless one can kill him in an instant, even deploying countless Universe Masters cannot threaten him."

"Tricky."

The two Demon Race ancestors, the Mechanical Race Father God, and the Insect Race Queen were all slightly irritated at this moment.

Clearly just a Human Race youngster with less than ten thousand years of cultivation, yet he made these few who stand at the pinnacle of the Original Universe—Universe Strongest—find him troublesome.

Zhou Yang's escape methods are utterly incomprehensible; unless he can be slain the instant they meet, he will calmly flee, essentially standing invincibly from birth.

Yet he already possesses Universe Master combat power; to achieve an instant kill, only a Universe Strongest can act.

But a Universe Strongest striking a Human Race Universe Master in the Original Universe would not only incur severe punishment from the Original Universe's will, but also incur the frenzied retaliation of the Human Race Giant Axe Founder!

Each of them has ties to their race and absolutely cannot bear such a cost.

If they were to let Zhou Yang run unchecked and grow, the Human Race could again produce a powerful being comparable to the Chaos City Lord, which they likewise cannot accept; thus these supreme beings find themselves in a dilemma.

"Zhou Yang's defiant performance makes the Human Race naturally place great importance on him; they will certainly grant him an extremely powerful Supreme Treasure for protection. Moreover, with his perverse escape methods in this Original Universe, the chance of a Universe Strongest succeeding is low, since a Universe Strongest acting in the Original Universe faces huge restrictions."

After a long while, the black sphere phantom was the first to speak.

"Mechanical, what do you mean?"

The two Demon Race ancestors and the alluring Insect Race Queen all looked toward him.

"My Mechanical Race will not continue to act against Zhou Yang in the Original Universe."

The Mechanical Race Father God said, "Zhou Yang's such defiant display means he cannot remain hidden in the Original Universe forever; sooner or later he will venture into the Universe Sea. In the Universe Sea, our strength will face no restrictions."

"Universe Sea?"

The two Demon Race ancestors and the Insect Race Queen both nodded, "It can only be that way."

"Issue the order: the Human Race Zhou Yang possesses Universe Master combat power; let those Venerables under your command be cautious,"…

While several supreme beings of the Three Great Races were deliberating, in a special plane of the Human Race Virtual Universe, the silhouettes of powerful entities rapidly gathered.

Endless darkness, with faint starlight shimmering in the distance.

A plain temple floated in midair.

In front of the temple, a modest open space held a long stone table; at the head of the table was a single stone chair, while each side had a row of stone chairs, and now towering figures sat upon those chairs.

The Four Top‑Tier Races have been battling for endless eras, each planting numerous spies within the other's ranks.

A Universe Master fell, and although it was a doppelganger that fell, it still counted as a highly impactful event.

Furthermore, the upper echelons of the Three Great Races, to alert their subordinate Universe Venerables and Immortals, swiftly disseminated the news that Zhou Yang possesses Universe Master combat power, and this information quickly reached the Human Race side.

"Zhou Yang killed the Rotating Annihilation Lord? Control over space‑time. Strongest Talent Secret Art. This—this can't be a joke,"

"Zhou Yang became a Universe Master?"

"Heavens, how many years has that kid been cultivating?"

"Crazy."

It's funny, actually: because Zhou Yang holds the New Universe as a trump card, he did not call for help from the Human Race when in danger, so the Human Race leadership only learned through the Three Great Races' reports that another Universe Master combat power had emerged within their own race! This explosive news drove each Human Race Universe Master into frenzy; it's practically a legend! How long has that kid been cultivating? Six thousand years? Seven thousand? At this point, most members of his same Genius Battle cohort are still at the Domain Lord stage, yet Zhou Yang can already slay a Universe Master? Even if it's a Universe Master's doppelganger, it is still a genuine Universe Master!

"This—this kind of exaggerated rise speed is truly shocking!"

"Incredible, incredible! It seems our Human Race will produce another peerless figure!"

"Ha ha, Chaos, you guy, you really kept the news deeply hidden!"

"Quick, quickly summon your proud disciple over for a talk!"

The Virtual Universe Company, the Giant Axe Arena, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and each Universe Master of the Human Race's Five Great Powers couldn't help but focus their gaze on the seated Chaos City Lord.

Yet they were unaware, even the Chaos City Lord himself found it unbelievable at this moment.

Not long ago he had just asked how Zhou Yang's power was after his breakthrough, and the answer was that he was a rare opponent even among Venerables.

I originally thought that was already sufficiently unbelievable, but then he turned and instantly slew a Universe Master! In just a few hundred years since breaking Immortality, he reached the level to kill a Universe Master; such a feat is truly dreamlike! Even he and the Giant Axe in his youth could not achieve that. "Could he someday grow to the teacher's stature?"

In the Chaos City Lord's deep eyes a faint gleam flickered, and he smiled, "Very well, I shall summon him now!"

After his breakthrough, Zhou Yang had reestablished his doppelganger at the Virtual Universe Company headquarters and on Earth, so although his true body resides in the New Universe, he still received the Chaos City Lord's summons.

"The teacher sent me to the Giant Axe Temple? This Giant Axe Temple is... there, the permission has been upgraded, it was actually here..."

A strand of his consciousness swiftly linked to the Virtual Universe, then instantly teleported to the plane where that massive temple resides.

The moment he appeared, numerous curious and probing gazes immediately converged upon him (End of Chapter).
