Chapter 433: Cosmic Vessel

In the Virtual Universe.

The Giant Axe Founder left a message for the Chaos City Lord: "I have hit great luck; by chance I, together with the Creator Lord, obtained an Axe-type Supreme Treasure, and have already successfully recognized the master."

"Axe-type Supreme Treasure?" The Chaos City Lord instantly became excited and thrilled; although now the Human Race possesses more than ten Supreme Treasures, the Chaos City Lord still rejoiced for the Great Axe.

He knows what a Divine Axe means to the Giant Axe Founder.

From the Creator Lord, he also learned that before possessing a Divine Axe, the Giant Axe Founder's combat power was such; with a Divine Axe it would only become stronger.

"Our Human Race shall prosper!" the Chaos City Lord exclaimed happily, quickly sending this good news to each of the Human Race's Universe Lords.

Soon, Lord of Darkness, Lord of Void Gold, and others each received the news, each becoming excited and glad.

Soon, in the Virtual Universe, on the Giant Axe Plane, the twenty highest tiers of the Human Race gathered to celebrate, drinking lavishly and speaking loudly, all appearing very excited.

"Everyone, keep it secret for now. Since the true Lord of the Divine Eye was exterminated, rumors have claimed Xiao Yu was the one who killed him; although unverified, they roughly guess that all the Divine Eye Clan's Supreme Treasures have been obtained by our Human Race," the Giant Axe Founder continued, "Therefore, from now on, any Supreme Treasure our Human Race acquires must be kept secret externally."

The Human Race must always keep some trump cards; if all trump cards become known to outsiders, it would be disadvantageous for the Human Race.

"Agreed."

Xiao Yu, the Chaos City Lord, and the other Universe Lords all nodded.

……

Cosmic Sea.

After bidding farewell to the Giant Axe Founder, Xiao Yu set out on the road toward the Cosmic Vessel.

Emerging from the depths of the Qingfeng Realm, Xiao Yu simultaneously used the Three Thousand Blade Domain to scout, and performed Instant Teleportation repeatedly, moving continuously at great speed.

Leaving the Qingfeng Mountain Body, he Instant Teleported into the airspace, and Xiao Yu exerted full power to Instant Teleport out; the entire airspace was of extremely low danger, especially since Xiao Yu was continuously riding within the Cold Cliff Fortress, a palace Ultimate Treasure.

Beyond the Qingfeng Realm's bounds lay the vast Cosmic Sea, permeated by endless chaotic currents.

The Cosmic Sea is extremely barren; aside from occasional spatial vortices, most of it consists of chaotic currents, and even a single stone or fragment is rare.

Even the small universes used as reference points are spaced apart by distances measured in tens of trillions of light‑years. Frequently, one must Instant Teleport continuously for days or even tens of days to encounter a small universe.

Moreover, the farther one is from the Primordial Universe, the greater the distances between small universes.

"I wonder whether the Cosmic Sea was created by the Wu Nation? Is it the same faction as the Broken East River? For the Origin Continent, what exactly is the role of the three‑thousand‑dimensional Cosmic Sea? Is it a base for cultivating geniuses? Or a testing ground for some strong individual? Or perhaps the entire Origin Continent was created by a strong individual?" Xiao Yu couldn't help looking forward to the future.

While idly daydreaming, he continued high‑frequency long‑range Instant Teleportation.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu stopped.

"Natural wormhole." Xiao Yu said, looking at the huge twisted spatial vortex in the distance, a smile appearing on his face; a natural wormhole can greatly shorten travel time.

"What will we encounter on this journey to the Cosmic Vessel? Even on maps recorded by humans, the Cosmic Vessel already contains many perilous regions, some of which test one's resolve," Xiao Yu repeatedly recalled the introductions and data about the Cosmic Vessel in his mind.

Time passed.

After three days of racing through the vast Cosmic Sea, Xiao Yu finally reached the Cosmic Vessel, one of the Three Great Absolute Lands.

"There ahead is the Cosmic Vessel," Xiao Yu said, gazing at the vague silhouette shrouded by chaotic currents, and performed continuous Instant Teleportation for several minutes.

He then stopped, stunned as he beheld an incredible scene billions of light‑years away.

There stood the immensely towering Cosmic Vessel, about tens of millions of light‑years tall and over a hundred million light‑years long, its whole body a blend of deep black and alluring purple.

The Cosmic Vessel truly was a ship; its hull was riddled with hundreds to thousands of massive cracks and holes, still visible even from billions of light‑years away.

"What has it endured? What kind of being could inflict such massive damage on a vessel of this magnitude?" Xiao Yu wondered, yearning to investigate everything.

However, Xiao Yu also knew that the Cosmic Vessel's appearance in the history of the Cosmic Sea predates even the Two Great Holy Lands; to investigate, one must delve deep into the interior of the Cosmic Vessel.

"Boom—"

A colossal attraction erupted from the Cosmic Vessel, wildly devouring the surrounding chaotic currents, making the nearby chaotic flow perpetually thin.

Xiao Yu also saw the chaotic vortex beneath the Cosmic Vessel being continuously devoured; within the vortex flickered golden, red, blue, and cyan lightning among many colors, and a faint Illusory Shadow of a small universe, half‑consumed, could be seen.

"Perhaps the Cosmic Vessel is a Mechanical Flow Ultimate Treasure, of Divine King Ultimate Treasure rank?" Xiao Yu kept speculating.

The Cosmic Vessel continuously devoured chaotic currents while emitting power; massive rings of fiery rivers encircled it, and a vast sea of cold air enveloped its surroundings, within which faint, crystal‑clear ice resembling mirrors could be seen.

Additionally, numerous gigantic wind vortices raged around it.

Huge electric serpents, each tens of thousands of light‑years long, roamed wildly.

Massive ink‑green vines clung to the entire surface of the Cosmic Vessel.

Almost every extreme manifestation of the Ten Fundamental Laws could be seen outside this Cosmic Vessel.

Xiao Yu became mesmerized for a moment; the immense law power manifested outward, and under the Eye of Law, their true forms were revealed, displaying their original states.

Xiao Yu continuously absorbed them, supplementing his own law comprehension.

He had long known that fully understanding the laws is merely a starting point, not the end; the path of the laws is unfathomable.

……

Edge of the vast Divine Kingdom.

Deep within the Lofty Mountain Range, the birthplace of endless flames, dozens of towering figures were continuously striking.

All these dozens of figures looked identical, differing only in the color of their armor.

"Number 15, this Ultimate Treasure requires an additional sturdy Illusory Secret Pattern," one blood‑colored figure handed the freshly forged Ultimate Treasure to a nearby purple figure who was continuously imprinting a secret pattern onto it.

The blood‑colored figure then continued to forge the next Ultimate Treasure.

"Received," the purple figure replied. The Ultimate Treasure floated within the endless flames, and his divine power instantly permeated it, carving intricate and profound secret patterns onto the treasure as if with a chisel.

After a brief moment, the purple figure had imprinted the secret pattern and said, "Number 11, all components of this exotic beast statue have been forged; the next step is yours."

They are all divine avatars of Xiao Yu, essentially Xiao Yu himself; to avoid boredom while refining treasures, he assigned each a number as a designation.

"Alright," the golden figure responded. His entire body radiated divine power, endless divine energy spreading into each Ultimate Treasure, carving them simultaneously as if with a chisel. (End of chapter)
