Chapter 222: Supreme Treasure Emerges

In the blink of an eye, it was already the 86th year since Zhou Yang arrived at the Universe Sea, and nearly seventy years had passed since the battle with the Lord of Yunfu and the others.

In those nearly seventy years, Zhou Yang encountered almost a hundred battles of various scales! Yet in most of them both sides merely sought to spar and hone themselves, never reaching a life‑or‑death clash.

Through repeated duels, some brand‑new combat styles and their novel applications of the Laws dazzled Zhou Yang.

Through analogical reasoning, Zhou Yang's comprehension of Fusion Law and Secret Technique advanced rapidly, progressing dozens of times faster than his diligent cultivation in the Original Universe! Especially with the existence of the New Universe, even aside from the New Universe's transformations that stirred and amplified him, the mere time‑acceleration method alone benefited Zhou Yang enormously!

Now the New Universe's time‑acceleration limit is close to ten thousandfold; while seventy years pass in the outside world, nearly seven hundred thousand years elapse within the New Universe! His true body handles the adventuring battles, while each doppelganger stays in the Time Acceleration Zone to focus on comprehension.

Some are tasked with studying the Life Record Secret Pattern, some concentrate on delving into the Treasure Refining Art left by the hermit, some continue to comprehend the Chaos Secret Pattern, advancing the fusion progress of the Eight Fundamental Laws; combined with insights gained from countless battles, Zhou Yang's strength has improved astonishingly!

After seventy years, he not only created several sets of the strongest Secret Techniques at the Universe Master level again, but also refined his grasp of the Fusion Law! Now, even without the aid of Reincarnation Divine Armor, the secret technique "Chaos Hole Suppression" already wields power comparable to the Universe Master's strongest Fusion Secret Method.

If further triggered through Reincarnation Divine Armor, its power would certainly reach a terrifying magnitude!

Beyond the comprehension of Secret Techniques, the Life Record engraved in his divine body continues to function, and his Divine Power tier is slowly rising, now nearing eleven thousand times! Yet the rate of increase has begun to slow, and merely imprinting it onto the divine body no longer suffices; he must truly grasp each Meridian Diagram contained within the Life Record, perceive the special "Law Power" they embody, and nurture his body with that Law Power to further advance the divine body.

Deep within the Qingfeng Realm.

"I've been in the Qingfeng Realm for nearly a hundred years, yet I haven't seen a single Supreme Treasure."

Zhou Yang maintained rapid flight at a hundred times light speed.

He had long since exited the "Fenguang Corridor", and now he is within a massive cavern space.

This cavern, called "Yanfeng Cave", is a perilous place whose danger level is almost on par with the Lava Sea Region.

Yanfeng Cave spans tens of thousands of light‑years in diameter, and its center houses thousands of massive "Wind Eyes" each a hundred billion kilometers across.

Endless Black Annihilation Divine Wind gushes from these Wind Eyes, filling the entire cavern.

This Black Annihilation Divine Wind contains immense destructive power; even a single strand can easily erase an ordinary Supreme Treasure.

Near the Wind Eyes, the Black Annihilation Divine Wind's force surges dramatically, requiring at least a Peak Palace Type Supreme Treasure to linger even briefly.

Nevertheless, under such harsh conditions, any Supreme Treasure that does emerge must be exceedingly rare.

After all, with the endless Black Annihilation Divine Wind constantly eroding, only at least a Top-tier Supreme Treasure can remain intact.

Thus this region naturally draws a number of fairly powerful Universe Masters to venture here in search of treasures.

Within Yanfeng Cave, countless massive "meteors" nearly a trillion kilometers in size drift continuously with the endless Black Annihilation Divine Wind.

Having withstood the Black Annihilation Divine Wind's prolonged scour without damage, these meteors' durability is naturally beyond imagination.

On one extremely huge meteor, there is a deep internal cavern.

Inside the cavern, a four‑legged beast covered in black scales, its head bearing a massive single horn resembling a Golden Horned Beast, lies calmly on the cavern floor, waiting.

The years spent adventuring in the Qingfeng Realm are like this—mostly tranquil, but when opportunity arises, that's when the real struggle begins.

The scale‑armored exotic beast waited silently; suddenly, as if sensing something, its gaze flicked unintentionally, and through the opening it instantly saw a distant flash of Golden Sword Light entering its view.

"Golden Sword Light Domain—it's the Lord of Reincarnation!" the scale‑armored beast's eyes brightened. In recent decades, Zhou Yang has clashed with numerous Universe Masters from the First Reincarnation Era and the Second Reincarnation Era, and those he faced were at least Fourth‑Tier Top in strength, with many Fifth‑Order Universe Lords among them.

After decades of battles, his reputation has naturally spread far and wide.

Many powerful figures of the Universe Sea also know that the Original Universe Human Race has produced a formidable Lord of Reincarnation, who not only wields Fifth‑Order Universe Lord combat power but also possesses a unique Sword Light Domain whose might rivals the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure.

The scale‑armored beast recognized Zhou Yang's identity but did not reveal itself; instead, it quickly produced a black token to send a message.

"Meng Yao Zu, I have located the Human Race's Zhou Yang at Yanfeng Cave coordinate system 135327, 45618544, region 124685387!"

The scale‑armored beast is named Lord of Yegou, a Universe Master of the Original Universe Demon Race Alliance! "Found Zhou Yang? Good, Yegou, this time I'll credit you with a great merit. I'll need about nine months to arrive; during that period you must constantly monitor Zhou Yang's movements!"

A message from Meng Yao Zu soon arrived via the black token.

According to the Three Great Races' plan, this millennium is precisely its duty to guard the Universe Sea! "Understood, Meng Yao Zu, I will keep watch at all times!"

Lord of Yegou replied.

Within the cavern filled with endless Black Annihilation Divine Wind, Zhou Yang piloted rapid flight using the Jianhe Luo Domain.

As long as he avoids the locations of the Wind Eyes, the Jianhe Luo Domain, empowered by New Universe Power, can easily repel those ordinary Black Annihilation Divine Winds.

"Maintaining this Jianhe Luo Domain constantly is exhausting; if only I had a Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure, that would be great."

Zhou Yang sighed silently in his heart as he flew.

Among the Universe Masters adventuring in the Qingfeng Realm Inner Domain, most carry Top-tier Palace-type Supreme Treasures, making him appear somewhat modest.

The Universe Sea map sent to the Chaos City Lord last time, after being evaluated by the Great Axe Founder, awarded him 4,000 Supreme Treasure Points as Race Contribution.

With those contribution points, if Zhou Yang adds a few more himself, he could barely exchange for a most ordinary Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure.

However, the few powerful Supreme Treasures he previously obtained were allocated to several doppelgangers, and his true body already bears Reincarnation Divine Armor, providing sufficient temporary defense, which has thus suppressed that thought for now.

"In the original work, that kid Luo Feng could just circle the Universe Sea once and a slew of opportunities would come knocking; why don't I have that kind of luck?"

Zhou Yang sighed silently in his heart, and at that moment—

Within the Wind Eye closest to Zhou Yang, a violently fierce Black Annihilation Divine Wind suddenly erupted! The blast was so intense it hurled a massive meteor, a diameter of nine trillion kilometers, that had been drifting near the Wind Eye, flinging it away! "Boom—"

The huge meteor kept tumbling and being tossed, and in the process it happened to collide with another meteor! "Crack~"

The collision of two meteors of such colossal size produced a force beyond imagination!

The massive meteor, hardened to the extreme after countless years of Black Annihilation Divine Wind erosion, shattered explosively at its edge under the fierce impact, and a huge fissure spread inward toward the meteor's core.

Within that massive fissure, a faint blood‑red palace began to emerge.

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up! "It's a Supreme Treasure!"
