Chapter 230: Emergence of the Peak Supreme Treasure

In the massive dark canyon, a blood‑red palace kept flying.

There was also a Sword Light Domain spreading out, constantly sweeping the surroundings.

From time to time, bolts of lightning, flames, or other forms of scorching energy erupted from below, even from the cliffs on both sides.

Boom—

A massive golden sword beam roamed continuously within the endless Sword Light Domain, dispersing nearby lightning and flames.

"These energy blasts are probably comparable to the power near the Wind Eye of Yanfeng Cave!"

Zhou Yang thought to himself, "If the Blood God Palace stays exposed for a long time, it probably won't hold out much longer."

There's no choice; the Blood God Palace is only a Top‑tier Palace‑type Ultimate Treasure. Without the Jianhe Luo Domain pre‑weakening those thunder and flame assaults, it will likely be damaged before long.

"Now that I've penetrated this Wanku Gorge for nearly five hundred light‑years, I'm already approaching the limits of some Universe Strongest beings. I can't go further down, so I'll just explore around this layer of the domain for now!"

At this moment, both the bewildering power of the black mist and those scorching energy blasts were subtly nearing Zhou Yang's limit.

He didn't continue downward; instead, he flew along one side of the cliff toward the other direction of the canyon.

In this Wanku Gorge, a treasure can emerge in two ways.

One is to be hurled out from the endless abyss below, carried by those lightning, flames, and other energies.

The other is to erupt from the massive caves on the cliff walls.

Thus, most of the strong ones adventuring here have two choices.

Either, like the Yuanhu Master, they guard a relatively dense cave area and wait patiently.

Or, like Zhou Yang now, they actively roam the canyon in search.

"According to the records, the probability of a Supreme Treasure emerging in this Wanku Gorge ranks among the highest of the countless perilous spots within the Universe Boat Inner Region, and when it does, it is essentially a Peak Supreme Treasure. I hope my luck holds out so I can obtain a few Peak Supreme Treasures!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel hopeful.

As Zhou Yang began exploring the Wanku Gorge, about a hundred light‑years above him a tiny purple light point floated silently.

The point seemed minuscule, yet it contained an immensely vast interior.

Within the purple light point lay a magnificent hall.

Six Insect Race matriarchs, each cloaked in a veil that was faintly visible like transparent gauze, respectfully bowed before the Insect Race queen on the throne.

The Insect Race queen looked down, speaking slowly, her voice filled with endless allure yet now tinged with a hint of murderous intent.

"That Human Race Zhou Yang's growth rate is truly exaggerated; if we let him continue, his threat could even surpass the lord of Chaos City!"

"And his methods of escape and survival are extremely bizarre; even the Demon Race's Meng Yao Zu cannot keep him, so there may be only one chance to strike him, and we must find the most suitable opportunity."

"This time, you will follow my orders and strike together with me. First, we will exert all our might using Soul Attack or a mesmerizing method, attempting to annihilate him directly at the soul level. Second, to be safe, while the Soul Attack is underway, you will command all your Insect Race warriors to deliver a combined strike; I will coordinate the Empress Palace to cooperate, ensuring absolute certainty!"

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

Each beautiful, enchanting Insect Race matriarch responded in kind.

"The six of us will combine our attack, targeting only a single Universe Master; our power will exceed six tiers, and that human is certainly doomed!"

"Right, when it comes to killing, how could the Demon Race or Mechanical Race compare?!"

The six matriarchs were all very confident. "Let them see how formidable our Insect Race is," the queen on the throne said with a light laugh, "You all stay ready at all times, await my command, and it would be best to strike when Zhou Yang battles others for the treasure!"

The laugh was captivating, yet it contained absolute murderous intent and ruthlessness.

Time slipped by silently; in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yang had been in the Wanku Gorge for over seventy years.

A blood‑red palace flew along one stone wall at dozens of times light speed.

The Wanku Gorge stretches for tens of thousands of light‑years; even at a straight line speed of dozens of times light speed, it would take hundreds of years, let alone Zhou Yang's occasional explorations up and down the cliffs. Thus, after more than seventy years, he has only surveyed an exceedingly tiny fragment of the area.

The core space of the Blood God Palace.

Zhou Yang sat there, his gaze fixed outward, endless secret patterns intermittently weaving across his eyes.

"Those who roam this Wanku Gorge truly are powerful; the Master of Xialong, when he unleashes, seems to surpass even the Yuanhu Master."

Zhou Yang couldn't help murmuring.

During these seventy‑plus years, as he trekked along the cliffs, he naturally encountered some Universe Masters like the Yuanhu Master who guard caves and lie in wait for treasures.

Zhou Yang had no rapport with these Universe Masters; barging into their territories, if he met one with a good temper it would be fine, but encountering a volatile one would inevitably lead to a clash.

Along the way, he truly endured several great battles.

Especially the duel with the Master of Xialong; even with his current strength, it was somewhat arduous.

The Master of Xialong is a unique special lifeform "Xialong" from the First Reincarnation Era, its Life Gene Level approaching ten thousandfold, and its divine body spans a million kilometers in height.

Moreover, his Supreme Treasure comprises a full set of Peak Supreme weapons, battle armor, domains, and Soul Supreme Treasure; his secret arts are the Strongest Fusion Secret Method, with several sets that can be combined.

With such lavish setup, aside from lacking a Supreme Strongest Treasure, the Master of Xialong's divine body, attacks, defenses, speed, domains, etc., are nearly at the limit of a Universe Master.

Especially his agility, which reached a terrifying degree; unless Zhou Yang used Teleportation directly, it would be hard to keep up with his speed.

"The 'Chaos Hole Massacre' technique is powerful, yet the Master of Xialong evaded it outright with his agility. This is the first time anyone has dodged my attack by speed, so I need to study several methods to boost attack and movement speed, further enriching my combat tactics."

Zhou Yang silently recalled the recent battle.

At that moment, a faint ripple instantly radiated outward; though weak, Zhou Yang still sensed it.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yang's eyes instantly cleared.

"Is that a special ripple? A Supreme Treasure emerging?"

Zhou Yang murmured softly; in dangerous places like the Wanku Gorge, spacetime is extremely condensed and stable, making it hard for tremors to propagate, so any ripple is noteworthy.

Only when a Universe Strongest breaks the law with force, or when a mighty Supreme Treasure appears, would a faint ripple arise.

"The strongest ones here are only a few; they probably aren't the source—most likely a Supreme Treasure is emerging. Since I sensed this ripple, it must be close!"

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up, "Looks like my luck is good; let's go see!"

Whoosh! Zhou Yang followed the signal, steering the Blood God Palace to fly swiftly.
