Chapter 377: Divine Eye

"Great Axe, you exerted great effort to obtain these two Strongest Supreme Treasures; pick one," Xiao Yu waved his hand and retrieved the Star Lord's two Strongest Supreme Treasures.

This time Xiao Yu was able to slay the Third True Lord mainly because Great Axe delayed time, waiting for Xiao Yu's arrival.

"This time it was also thanks to your rescue," Giant Axe Founder said gratefully, "Moreover, in killing the Star Lord I didn't exert much force."

"Great Axe, I already possess a suitable Strongest Supreme Treasure; even if I added another Strongest Supreme Treasure, my power wouldn't increase, but you are different—whether it's a Domain Treasure or an Attack Treasure, it can boost your strength," Xiao Yu transmitted his voice.

"I prefer axe-type weapons. Since I began self-cultivation, I have always fought with axes, and my self-created secret arts are mostly axe-based," Giant Axe Founder said directly, then he seized the Star Realm, letting divine power permeate it, erasing the soul imprint left by the Star Lord and imprinting his own soul mark.

Giant Axe Founder said, "I'll take this Star Realm for provisional use for now."

"Alright, then this Star Hand, I'll give it to the teacher, the Chaos City Lord, for use," Xiao Yu said directly.

Giant Axe Founder looked at Xiao Yu in surprise.

Xiao Yu raised the God‑slashing Blade in his hand, which emitted endless black radiance, and said, "This one is also a Strongest Supreme Treasure; as for that Cold Cliff Fortress, I intend to use it myself."

"Hmm, let's return to the base first," Giant Axe Founder transmitted.

He had no significance regarding how Xiao Yu allocated the Ultimate Treasures; in fact, all three Strongest Supreme Treasures were obtained solely by Xiao Yu, even the Star Lord's two Treasures.

Immediately the two instantly teleported back to the canyon among the celestial mountain stones.

…

Divine Eye Clan, within the small universe of the First True Lord.

The First True Lord has already learned of the Third True Lord's fall and dispatched a host of Lords of the Universe to the Star Lord's small universe to rescue the clan's geniuses and strong ones, as well as to gather various Ultimate Treasures and cultivation resources.

Swish!

A blue‑eyed Divine Eye Clan figure appeared out of thin air above the temple, conveying the Sixth True Lord's thought.

His true body was still hurrying back.

This time he was severely wounded and needed to return to his own small universe to restore his Divine Body.

"Divine Eye True Lord," the Sixth True Lord said.

"Azure eyes, what happened? Didn't you and the Star Lord go to intercept the Giant Axe Founder? How did the Star Lord suddenly fall?" a thought echoed from the sky.

Immediately an Illusory Shadow appeared opposite the Sixth True Lord's shadow; this shadow was an elder, the First True Lord 'Divine Eye'.

"Divine Eye, according to the plan, after the Star Lord and I learned that the Seventh True Lord had found the Primordial Cosmic Human Xiao Yu, we went to the Qingfeng Realm's inner domain to intercept the Great Axe, preventing his return for support. However, during the process the Seventh True Lord fell, and we then decided to join forces to deal with the Great Axe," the Sixth True Lord said.

"But we didn't anticipate that the Giant Axe Founder's combat assessment was merely a low‑profile, restrained façade; in reality the Great Axe's strength had already surpassed the eighth tier, reaching the ninth‑tier threshold, nearly the limit of a True God. Even when the Star Lord and I combined ancient secret arts to unleash the Eternal True God, we still couldn't defeat the Great Axe," the Sixth True Lord continued.

"Although the Eternal True God couldn't defeat the Great Axe, it didn't lose either; if the battle continued we believed we could still overcome it. What we didn't expect was that the Human Creation Lord Xiao Yu arrived in such a short time," the Sixth True Lord added.

"The Creation Lord Xiao Yu's power was far greater than the Great Axe's; with a single move he merged the three Strongest Supreme Treasures into the prototype of the Eternal True God, and also employed an exceedingly cruel soul attack. I was struck by the Great Axe as well; at the final moment the Star Lord self‑detonated his Divine Body, destroying the suppression of the Cold Cliff Fortress, allowing me to escape," the Sixth True Lord still shuddered.

"Second True Lord, Fourth True Lord, Fifth True Lord, you all heard that, right," Divine Eye True Lord transmitted, "Now let's discuss what measures we should take."

Three figures clad in armor, each with a single‑eyed Illusory Shadow behind them, materialized out of thin air.

"Divine Eye True Lord, our Divine Eye Clan has traversed the Cosmic Sea for three Reincarnation Eras without opponent; even the Sacred Lands dare not openly confront us, especially in this era. They all know we will inevitably seize that sliver of survival here," Second True Lord said, "Only the original ancestors dared oppose us before, and now another appears, a Human Creation Lord."

"Now the four strong ones of our clan who recently fell all perished because of the Human Creation Lord. This vengeance cannot go unanswered," Fourth True Lord roared, "In a single day we lost two Strongest of the Universe. This grudge outweighs the Cosmic Sea; the entire Hongmeng Alliance humans must be sacrificed."

"Why did the Original Ancestor's power suppress us back then? Because he could slay the Strongest of the Universe!" Second True Lord said, "Now the Creation Lord also possesses that ability, and his strength even surpasses the Eternal True God. How shall we avenge? Should the remaining five of us unite, regardless of loss? Our greatest problem now is that if we cannot ascend, we face extinction of our clan."

"Second True Lord, you are too weak! The Eternal hardship makes us fight desperately. This time may be an opportunity for our Divine Eye Clan," Fifth True Lord also transmitted.

The Sixth True Lord said nothing; he has now been frightened by Xiao Yu.

"Then how do we counter the Creation Lord?" Second True Lord posed a sharp question.

"Since the Eternal True God's power, formed by merging three Strongest Supreme Treasures, is insufficient, we five True Lords will merge ten Strongest Supreme Treasures; that combined might, even surpassing a True God, can cope," Fourth True Lord said.

"One sip, one bite, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Now is our clan's crisis, perhaps also hiding a sliver of hope. The Divine Eye Clan has no retreat; we can only advance," Divine Eye True Lord, as the clan's leader and the foremost strong one, declared decisively.

"First, we must search the third and seventh small universes for resources and Ultimate Treasures, then recall all our clan's Lords of the Universe, and then launch a strike to capture all Hongmeng Alliance humans in one net," Divine Eye True Lord continued.

Immediately the entire Divine Eye Clan moved like a machine, all True Gods and Lords of the Universe withdrew from the Three Great Absolute Lands of the Cosmic Sea and other perilous sites, while actively gathering all intelligence on Hongmeng Alliance humans, tracking the movements of every Hongmeng Alliance human Lord of the Universe.

…

Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island.

The Chaos City Lord sat beside a stone Round Table, with a floating screen before him displaying a flood of data on the recent conditions of the human races.

As the controller of a Virtual Universe lineage, the Chaos City Lord has many directions to oversee.

Suddenly a person approached, it was Xiao Yu, who respectfully bowed and said, "Teacher."

The Chaos City Lord's eyes brightened at the sight of Xiao Yu and immediately asked, "How is it?"

"It's going fairly smoothly; the Giant Axe Founder is fine, and with the Third True Lord's fall I have again obtained two Strongest Supreme Treasures and several exquisite Peak Treasures," Xiao Yu said with a smile. (End of chapter)
