A magnificent ice palace floated within it. The Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Azure East, Ai Chen, and Qian Shui, through the exterior simulation, stared intently at the distant outline of the decaying universe.
The collapse of every inch of space was clearly visible, like the convulsions of a dying beast.
"King Zhenjia is dead, and the mini-universe is beginning to disintegrate! Proceed immediately! Sweep away!"
—The email from the Lord of the Yellow Heaven and the collapse of the miniature universe arrived almost simultaneously!
However, this email was originally sent to all the rulers of the universe.
At the beginning of the scheme, Lin Hao didn't know which lucky person would win, or if they would gain nothing at all.
So from the beginning, the ruler of the race's universe, including his sisters, except for Janet who was left to find a secluded spot in the void among the human race, were all divided into groups to keep an eye on the smaller universes of the three strongest universes.
The treasure of the ice-sculpted palace suddenly trembled!
"Done! Let's get started!!!"
The Ice Peak Lord's eyes flashed with a sharp light, a mixture of killing intent and wild joy!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Almost simultaneously...
Several streaks of light tore through the chaotic airflow and hurtled toward the collapsing universe from different directions!
"Hahahaha! Huang Tian is mighty!!!"
Peng Gongzhi's loud laughter echoed through the dedicated communication channel in the virtual universe.
"Charge! Loot it! It's all ours!"
The Lord of Qingdong, riding the palace's most precious treasure, charged ahead and crashed into the small, cracking gap in the cosmic membrane!
Several streaks of light rushed into that apocalyptic scene.
What comes into view are floating, broken stars, a boundless continent torn apart, and chaotic currents surging from spatial rifts.
Even more... countless floating, lifeless divine bodies!
Immortals, Venerables, Lords of the Universe... like the most precious "treasures," scattered everywhere, their armor, weapons, and world rings on their fingers all shimmer with alluring light!
"Swallow!!!"
Without any hesitation, several palace-like treasures opened their gaping maws like greedy beasts!
A terrifying suction force swept in all directions!
The iceberg formed by the Lord of Ice Peaks crushed a shattered continent, and wherever it passed, countless divine bodies, weapons, and even the cores of entire mineral planets were sucked into the black hole at the base of the iceberg!
The palace of the Lord of Qingdong was like a giant vacuum cleaner, swallowing up a floating group of cosmic lords and the surrounding broken temple fragments!
Ai Chen and Qian Shui, wielding their respective supreme treasures, worked with exceptional efficiency, specifically targeting areas where powerful divine energy fluctuations lingered...
"Hurry! Hurry! Faster! Hao Lei and Qiu Yan could arrive at any moment!"
The voice of the Lord of Darkness urged them on in the channel.
"Haha! This King Zhenjia is far richer than that old bachelor, the Demon God Xuzhen! He's lived for almost three reincarnations; that's real wealth!"
Master Peng was laughing wildly as he devoured a massive, wrecked ship that was clearly a treasure trove.
"Stop talking nonsense! Is it all loaded? If it's full, let's go!"
The voice of the Lord of the Ice Peaks rang out.
His ice palace was also full, even swallowing a collapsing energy vein.
"go!"
"withdraw!"
Several streaks of light, like locusts swarming across the land, carrying the endless wealth plundered from the destroyed world, rushed out of the small universe that was rapidly collapsing and exuding an aura of despair and annihilation, even faster than when they arrived. They accelerated instantly, plunging into the depths of the chaotic airflow, heading straight towards the primordial universe.
In its place, only an even more dilapidated cosmic remnant remains, accelerating towards ultimate destruction.
……
Virtual universe, the exclusive dimension of the founder of the giant axe.
A long table was laid out, laden with a dazzling array of delicacies and fine wines.
Founder of the Giant Axe, Lord of Chaos City, Lord of Void Gold, Lord of the Desolate Mirror, Lord of Dragon Journey...
All the main deities or energy avatars of the human universe gathered together, creating an atmosphere of unprecedented fervor.
"Hahaha! That's great! Absolutely great!"
The Giant Axe Founder slammed his fist on the table, downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, and roared, "Lin Hao, well done! The three strongest beings in the universe, Lord Hao Lei and the others, still tried to scheme against us. King Zhenjia deserved to be tricked to death by you! How many eras has it been since our human race has felt this good? Come, let's all toast the Lord of the Yellow Heaven!"
"Homage to the Lord of Yellow Heaven!"
All the lords of the universe raised their glasses, their gazes towards Lin Hao filled with amazement, admiration, and gratitude.
Especially those who participated in the sweep, such as Bingfeng and Peng Gong, had rosy complexions, clearly showing that the joy of the harvest far exceeded that of the fine wine.
Like the other sisters, Tia sat quietly beside Lin Hao.
Lin Hao smiled and raised his glass: "We were fortunate to succeed, and it's also thanks to everyone's cooperation in sweeping through the area. King Zhenjia's wealth is enough to multiply the size of our human race's treasury several times over! Everyone's weapons and armor can be replaced with new ones!"
These words immediately drew knowing laughter and expectant looks.
Raiding the lair of the strongest being in the universe, accumulated over nearly three lifetimes, yields benefits far beyond imagination.
The Lord of Chaos City could not hide his joy, and his gaze toward Lin Hao was full of praise: "Huang Tian's plan was ingenious, and he risked his life to deliver the final thunderous blow. He deserves the greatest credit."
"but,"
The Chaos City Lord changed the subject, his expression turning serious. "The Hao Lei Star Lord and the Qiu Yan Ancestral God will not let this go easily. They had already joined forces with King Zhenjia to set up a plan to hunt down powerful individuals in the inner domain of the Qingfeng Realm. Now that they have lost King Zhenjia, their hatred for our human race will surely be immense. They will soon confirm the news of King Zhenjia's universe collapsing."
"Hmph! Two stray dogs! What are you afraid of? If you're so capable, chase them all the way to the primordial universe!"
The founder of the giant axe snorted heavily, his eyes flashing with a fierce light like an electric axe. "If they encounter me outside, I will make them taste my power!"
Lin Hao spoke up at the opportune moment: "Senior Giant Axe is naturally fearless due to his bravery. However, the Peak Realm is, after all, their home ground. They have lived for far too long and their understanding of the dangers of the inner domain far surpasses ours. Their schemes and ambushes are impossible to defend against. For the safety of the other universe lords of our clan, I believe that the Peak Realm... should not be left behind any longer. While Hao Lei and Qiu Yan are still in shock and anger, I suggest that all members of our clan and the Hong Alliance in the Peak Realm and even nearby areas be notified to evacuate immediately! Leave no one behind!"
The Lord of Chaos City immediately nodded: "Lin Hao is absolutely right. The inner domain of the Peak Realm is already fraught with danger, and now with these two strongest beings in the universe who hate our human race to the bone lying in ambush, the risk has increased tenfold. For the sake of the greater good, I agree to abandon the exploration of the Peak Realm."
"Give up the Peak Realm?"
Some of the universe lords showed a hint of regret, after all, one of the three forbidden zones offered a huge opportunity.
But when he thought of how Zhenjia King had just been tricked to death, and then of Haolei Star Lord's terrifying strength as a top-tier eighth-order being, and Qiuyan Ancestral God, this regret was quickly replaced by lingering fear.
The founder of the giant axe pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Lin Hao's face.
He grinned, revealing a hearty smile: "Good lad, you've thought this through perfectly, even more like a leader than your teacher! Alright! We'll listen to you! We're done with this Qingfeng Realm! The Cosmic Sea is so vast, are we afraid of not finding a treasure trove? Chaos, Engineer Peng... let's move on to Liuchong Mountain! Or maybe try our luck on the outer edge of the Cosmic Ship! There are just as many treasures and opportunities hidden there!"
He raised his glass, surveyed the room, and roared, "Gentlemen! Congratulations on our victory! Now, let us expand and strengthen on this new battlefield, creating even greater glories! Cheers!!!"
"Dry!!!"
Amidst the clinking of glasses, wine splashed everywhere, and laughter resounded.
"And there's good news."
Lin Hao said.
"Oh?"
The founder of the giant axe asked curiously, "What other good things are there?"
Lin Hao put down his wine glass, a hint of amusement and seriousness on his face: "This time, I also found something good on King Zhenjia—a map of the cosmic sea."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City's eyes sharpened instantly: "A map of the Cosmic Sea? The Cosmic Sea map treasured by that old monster, King Zhenjia, who has lived for nearly three reincarnations, is probably of immeasurable value!"
Lin Hao generated a partial overview of the light and shadow of a complex star map in the virtual universe.
He then pointed to the core of the map of light and shadow: "This map not only contains the routes our race follows, but more importantly—"
He paused deliberately, drawing everyone's attention.
"It records in great detail the outer perimeter of the peak boundary and the more verified safe paths leading to the inner domain, and—",
Lin Hao emphasized, "It extends its records to numerous key areas surrounding the core of the two forbidden zones, 'Cosmic Ship' and 'Flowing Mountain'! Its level of detail and coverage far surpasses our clan's previous archives!"
The Lord of Chaos City and the Founder of the Giant Axe almost simultaneously gasped for breath.
The core and outer perimeter maps of the three major forbidden zones!
This is simply the lifeline for exploring the cosmic ocean!
"That old bastard King Zhenjia actually hid himself so well!"
The Lord of False Gold was astonished.
"No wonder he was able to operate deep within the Inner Domain of the Peak Realm for so long!"
Even the Lord of Huangjian was moved.
Lin Hao continued, "I've done a preliminary analysis of this information and discovered that it couldn't have been drawn up overnight. It contains the accumulation of exploration over a long period of time and multiple reincarnations. King Zhenjia obviously paid an unimaginable price. Now, it's actually benefiting us."
He spoke these words with a natural demeanor, perfectly packaging the information from the Sitting Mountain Guest Map as the true nature of King Zhenjia.
The founder of the giant axe slammed his hand on the table and stood up excitedly: "Haha! Good! Well done! Lin Hao, you even copied his map! This is a hundred times, a thousand times more valuable than several more supreme treasures!"
The Chaos City Lord suppressed his excitement and asked urgently, "Is the map data safe?"
"Don't worry, at least the routes I've taken in the inner region are exactly the same."
As Lin Hao spoke, he looked at the Lord of Chaos City, "Teacher, please accept this."
A vast yet well-organized map of the universe instantly flooded into the consciousness of the Chaos City Lord.
The Lord of Chaos City closed his eyes for a moment, carefully sensing the massive amount of data containing information about the three forbidden zones.
When he opened his eyes again, they shone with an unprecedented brilliance, and his voice trembled slightly: "Excellent... wonderful! This map... is so detailed! Its value... is worth it even if we give up exploring the Peak Realm! It will greatly improve the safety and efficiency of our race's Lord of the Universe's exploration of the other two forbidden zones in the Cosmic Sea!"
"Everyone!"
The founder of the giant axe rang out in a booming voice, "With this map, it doesn't matter if we decide to abandon the Peak Realm! Now, the vast cosmic ship and the Flowing Mountains will be the new hunting grounds for our human race!"
He raised his enormous wine glass, surveyed the entire hall, and his voice resounded throughout the surrounding area: "The value of this map is unparalleled! The Lord of the Yellow Heaven has once again achieved an unparalleled feat! Let us take this as our guide and usher in a new era in the cosmic sea! Cheers! To our people! To the Lord of the Yellow Heaven!"
"Cheers! To our people! To the Lord of Heaven!"
