Chapter 1205: Bowing the Head

“I’ve always lacked a suitable supreme treasure, always lacked one!” the Axe Creator stood in the void, holding his divine axe and gazing into the distance. “Precisely because I lacked a supreme treasure, I’ve remained low-key and endured silently, fearing that excessive brilliance would bring calamity upon our human race. Yuanzu saved me with great kindness, and he was permanently sealed away, solely hoping that I would properly lead our human race. Third Zhenzhu, Sixth Zhenzhu, you two know… what angers me most?”

The Axe Creator’s eyes suddenly flared with intense light, two beams of tangible brilliance slicing through the sky, as a furious roar echoed, “It’s the attempt to exterminate our entire human race!”

“Annihilation! Annihilation!”

“Dare you, of the Divine Eye Clan, be so arrogant as to attempt the extermination of our human race?”

“When Yuanzu was around, would you dare utter a word?”

“Today, I’ll show you the consequences of attempting to exterminate our human race!” The Axe Creator’s voice shook the heavens, and already, he held his divine axe aloft and roared, “Fifteen!!!”

“Run!”

“Go!”

Third Zhenzhu and Sixth Zhenzhu were both startled and furious, yet they had no time to think further and immediately tried to flee.

One axe strike…

Endless darkness descended, as if a colossal axe phantom in a virtual space radiated dazzling brilliance. Following this, the radiant axe phantom merged silently with the “Divine Axe” and soundlessly slashed toward Third Zhenzhu and Sixth Zhenzhu.

“Boom~~~”

Countless stars obstructed the path, but were directly shattered.

“Hurry! Stars, quickly block him!”

Sixth Zhenzhu panicked, while Third Zhenzhu angrily said, “His attack can even shatter an Eternal True God formed by the fusion of three supreme treasures. How could my domain-type supreme treasure possibly contain him? It can’t even significantly affect his speed. Hurry, we must escape first.”

“You won’t escape!”

The giant axe flew rapidly through the void, chasing them relentlessly.

Its speed rapidly increased—thousandfold, ten-thousandfold the speed of light… rising at an incredible pace. Moreover, around the flying axe, phantom axes swirled, wreaking havoc and slicing apart the countless stars that attacked like meteors. Even the domain-type supreme treasures were powerless against the Axe Creator.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

A palace flew at high speed.

This palace was merely a peak treasure, while the Axe Creator wielded the “Supreme Treasure Divine Axe” as his guide, combined with his own strength… how could his speed be matched?

“He’s approaching.”

“Not good.”

At speeds exceeding a hundred thousand times the speed of light, the Axe Creator caught up in the blink of an eye.

“Hiding inside the palace? Then let me seal you.” The Axe Creator extended his right hand, which suddenly enlarged into a hand hundreds of kilometers wide. Each finger of the hand was wreathed in phantom axes, plunging the surrounding area into eerie darkness.

“Let’s separate.”

“Hiding in the palace treasure, we can’t resist at all. Even an Eternal True God cannot stop him, so this peak palace treasure… once we’re captured, we won’t be able to resist inside, and might be thrown into a sealing palace for imprisonment.”

“Blue Eye, your strength is insufficient to oppose him. Quickly enter my world.”

“Alright.”

If the opponent possessed sealing artifacts and was far stronger, naturally one couldn’t remain in hiding.

Swish! Swish!

The palace vanished into thin air.

A man bathed in purple light stood in the void, clad in purple armor, glaring at the Axe Creator and shouting, “Axe, we’ve already fled, yet you still relentlessly pursue us? If it were merely the Sixth Zhenzhu, he would indeed be in mortal danger before you. But I, Star… even if I’m not your equal, I’m not in danger of perishing.”

“Surrender three peak treasures of the palace level, and the feud between your Divine Eye Clan and our human race will end!” The Axe Creator’s voice was rough and bold. “Otherwise… my axe techniques truly need worthy opponents to hone and improve.”

The Third Zhenzhu, clad in purple armor, looked grim and remained silent for a long time.

“Fine! The Divine Eye Clan respects you, so we’ll give you three supreme treasures,” said the Third Zhenzhu. “One peak domain-type treasure, one peak palace-type treasure, and one peak soul illusion-type treasure.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three streaks of light flew directly toward the Axe Creator.

The Axe Creator extended his hand, grasped the three treasures, glanced at them, and then stored them away.

“Whoosh!” The Third Zhenzhu immediately transformed into a streak of light and swiftly departed.

Meanwhile, far away, the Golden Demon God, and the Situanchuan within the azure stone peak both looked astonished.

The Divine Eye Clan had been so arrogant and dominant.

Yet no one expected the Axe Creator to be so powerful, forcing the two Zhenzhus of the Divine Eye Clan to submit, willing to hand over three peak supreme treasures.

“Axe, congratulations! The humans of the Primordial Universe are indeed formidable—Yuanzu was mighty, and you, Axe, are mighty too. Ha ha, with a supreme treasure in hand, your power has become this mighty,” a crisp child’s voice emanated from the Golden Demon God.

“Haha… Golden Demon, please keep this news under wraps for now,” the Axe Creator called out from afar.

“Keep it under wraps? Tsk tsk… The Divine Eye Clan has suffered a major loss, and they won’t spread the news themselves. They probably wish other factions would suffer too. Axe, you’re quite cunning. Fine, I absolutely won’t spread it,” the Golden Demon God chuckled.

“Master Situanchuan, please don’t leak this news either,” the Axe Creator turned his gaze toward another distant location.

“Of course,” Situanchuan’s voice responded.

The Axe Creator nodded slightly, then his figure blurred… transforming into a giant axe and swiftly departing into the void.

The Golden Demon God also bid farewell to Situanchuan and departed, while the azure stone peak flew toward the exit of the abyss.

Deep within the abyss.

The azure stone peak was advancing at high speed.

“Master,” Luo Feng still felt excited and also puzzled, pouring wine for Situanchuan first. “Our human, the Axe Creator, is powerful, but could he really be strong enough to kill other Cosmic Sovereigns?”

“Haha… Of course he can!” Sitting leisurely, Situanchuan held his wine cup and laughed. “Back then, when Yuanzu roamed the Cosmic Sea, no one in the three reincarnation eras or the two Holy Universes dared provoke him. Even other Cosmic Sovereigns would flee immediately upon seeing him from afar! Tell me, if he merely had the upper hand, would other Cosmic Sovereigns fear him so greatly without facing actual life-threatening danger?”

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

Indeed, if there were no life-threatening danger, Yuanzu wouldn’t have instilled such fear in other Cosmic Sovereigns.

“Although the Axe Creator’s strength is still a bit short of Yuanzu’s back then, he’s already very close,” Situanchuan mused.

“Can the Axe Creator kill the Third Zhenzhu?” Luo Feng asked.

“No,” Situanchuan replied directly. “The Third Zhenzhu possesses two supreme treasures and ranks second among the seven Zhenzhus in strength. The Axe can suppress and sweep past the Third Zhenzhu… but cannot kill him! As for the Sixth Zhenzhu, he’s weaker, possessing only one soul-attacking supreme treasure. Facing the Axe, he might very well be killed.”

“If he can’t be killed, then why did the Third Zhenzhu submit?” Luo Feng pressed.

“Haha…” Situ Anchuan laughed. “Of course he submitted. This Axe had always concealed his true strength and never fully unleashed his power before. Now that he has displayed such formidable might, this sudden surge will inevitably lead to more outbursts and battles with other powerhouses. Before this, without ever releasing his full power or engaging in combat with peers, he had already reached such a level. Once he begins fighting other Cosmic Sovereigns, it will undoubtedly elevate his abilities. Once he takes another step forward… he’ll become another Yuanzu! In that case, it’s better to submit early and avoid unnecessary losses.”

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

Indeed.

Even without ever unleashing that axe technique before, he had already cultivated to this level. Once he engaged in battle and honed his skills, it was highly likely he would advance further.

“If that’s the case, then demanding only three peak supreme treasures seems trivial for the Divine Eye Clan?” Luo Feng said. “That shouldn’t be a big deal for them.”

“Haha, do you think the Divine Eye Clan is just any ordinary clan?” Situanchuan shook his head. “They were the greatest power of the First Reincarnation Age! Even when compared to the two Holy Universes, they are nearly on par! The Third True Lord could even resist the Axe… and as for the First True Lord, even if the Axe advances further, it could at most suppress him. Back then, the First True Lord could even withstand Yuanzu.”

“If all seven Zhenzhus unite, it would be even more terrifying.”

“Hmph, combined with the Divine Eye Clan’s impending crisis, the seven Zhenzhus are naturally extremely desperate in their hearts… If a real battle breaks out with the Divine Eye Clan, even if he alone is mighty, how could the entire human race stand against the Divine Eye Clan? Probably, other Cosmic Lords would dare not even enter the Cosmic Sea anymore.”

“This was just settling an old grudge.”

“Gaining some benefits, without making the Divine Eye Clan too resentful.”

“The Divine Eye Clan doesn’t want to provoke the Axe! And the Axe, for the sake of the future of the human race, also doesn’t want a full-scale war with the Divine Eye Clan…” Situanchuan said, “Thus, this scene unfolded.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Yes, the human race’s Axe is mighty, but other Cosmic Lords are weaker. Once a full-scale war breaks out, for safety, they might be forced to avoid entering the Cosmic Sea… If they can’t venture into the Cosmic Sea to explore and hone their skills, it would be extremely difficult for the human race to produce a third Cosmic Sovereign.

“There’s such a huge gap between the Cosmic Sovereigns,” Luo Feng sighed.

“Only Yuanzu was an exception, a special case. I think, the Axe must have received guidance and instruction from Yuanzu to become this powerful,” Situanchuan mused. “Otherwise, if he had relied solely on his own comprehension to reach such a level, it would be nearly impossible.”

“Yuanzu?” Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

Although Yuanzu was permanently sealed, he could still communicate with the humans, though probably only with a few, like the Axe, Chaos, and a couple of others.

The azure stone peak entered the frenzied suction zone. This was where Luo Feng had once been sucked in, and the suction force was even stronger than the Axe’s attack.

Now, flying out against this suction force was the challenge.

“Swish swish~~” The azure stone peak rotated, tracing arcs and gradually moving outward in spirals through the abyss.

“To get out, one must resist part of the suction force while utilizing another part,” Situanchuan said. “You must use the force; otherwise, even a Cosmic Sovereign cannot escape! Only in this way can one get out. The process will be slow, likely taking months. During these months, I will help you fully repair the Mad God-Destroying Armor, and then you can continue on your way. Do whatever you need to do.”

“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng respectfully replied.

After leaving this place, he would naturally head to the Black Pattern Pillar to temper his willpower. Moreover, having obtained the black token from Wu Hun, he was even more determined to go there!
