The small, broken universe, the time scale of its decay measured in cycles of epochs, rendered it akin to half a sieve; save for the missing half, its very membrane was riddled with countless holes, large and small, allowing the dense chaotic currents within to mirror those outside.

"Whoosh—" The Tomb Raider's Boat slipped through a breach in the cosmic membrane with effortless ease.

Inside the ruined universe, desolation reigned, punctuated by floating corpses and shards of space.

"It has been nine days since the passing of Giant Axe Creator, the moment I immediately set off into the Sea of Universe to arrive here! Merely nine days; the news shouldn't have leaked yet," Luo Feng thought, a thread of tension weaving through him within the control hall of the Tomb Raider's Boat. This transaction was profoundly crucial for the human race, currently mired in crisis.

"I hope nothing goes wrong!"

"Absolutely not!" Luo Feng murmured inwardly.

"Galaxy Lord! We have detected you, and we are on our way," a message crackled from the communication token.

Luo Feng grasped the token, simultaneously transmitting a thought: "I will wait here for you."

He also scanned the surroundings. The Tomb Raider's Boat offered unimpeded vision, allowing him to quickly spot a magnificent, colossal black polyhedron in the distance. With a mere flash of movement, the black polyhedron materialized ten million kilometers from the Tomb Raider's Boat.

"Galaxy Lord, give me the Stone of Memories, and I will give you the tokens representing two Supreme Treasures," stated North True Star Lord.

"North True Star Lord, since we have reached this stage, I trust both sides possess sincerity in this trade. Let's dispense with pleasantries," Luo Feng replied. Accompanied by a deep rumble, the hatch of the Tomb Raider's Boat opened. Luo Feng, the stone blade strapped to his back, stood at the threshold. "I am here. Toss over the two Supreme Treasure tokens, and I will hand over the Stone of Memories."

"What if you refuse, Galaxy Lord?" The towering black sphere suddenly split open, revealing a fissure that formed a passage. North True Star Lord emerged, and with a single stride, he stood just outside the hatch of the Tomb Raider's Boat.

One inside the hatch.

One in the void outside the hatch.

They regarded each other.

"This is the Stone of Memories," Luo Feng said, holding the artifact in his right hand. "Trust me, and give me the two Supreme Treasure tokens."

North True Star Lord gazed at Luo Feng, so close now.

He felt the impulse to strike.

But he knew that Luo Feng was already powerful before receiving his inheritance. To conquer experts like Emerald Blood Venerable and Deer Insect Master in the "Basic Inheritance" and emerge as the inheritor meant he must have developed combat secret techniques at the level of a Universe Supreme Master! Coupled with methods from the core inheritance, one-on-one, North True Star Lord genuinely lacked the confidence to subdue Luo Feng.

Moreover, Luo Feng was inside the cabin; he could likely seal the hatch with a mere thought.

"Fine!"

North True Star Lord hurled a world ring.

Luo Feng beckoned, and the ring, its surface a fiery red that suggested contained flames, settled in his palm. He swiftly imprinted his divine power, easily piercing into the world contained within. Within the world ring, two majestic Supreme Treasures stood erected on a vast wasteland: one shaped like a black pyramid, the other a colossal, long staff.

"It is indeed as expected," Luo Feng mused. "The initial agreement stipulated a Palace-type Supreme Treasure must be included. East Emperor Holy Land dared not cheat and procured this 'Black Prison Tower'! The other one is straightforward—a mere attack-type Supreme Treasure, one I haven't even heard of, likely part of the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's internal reserves."

Though he hadn't seen it, judging by the aura, the staff was indeed a Supreme Treasure.

Supreme Treasures...

A Palace type was naturally far more precious; an attack type was clearly a notch below.

"This world ring was specially forged by the ancestor of our East Emperor Holy Land," North True Star Lord chuckled. "Even the natural pressure radiated by Supreme Treasures is immense; ordinary world rings might collapse under such coercion."

"Forged by the Ancestor himself?" Luo Feng weighed the ring slightly, nodding. "Do these two Supreme Treasures have any further detailed information?"

"Galaxy Lord, look at the Stone of Memories..." North True Star Lord smiled broadly, his eyes fixed intently on the Stone of Memories in Luo Feng's other hand.

"No problem," Luo Feng tossed it casually.

Swish!

The Stone of Memories flew swiftly away.

North True Star Lord reached out and snatched it, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

"The detailed information on those two Supreme Treasures?" Luo Feng turned to North True Star Lord.

"One is the Black Prison Tower, which I presume the Galaxy Lord is aware of. The other staff is named 'Yan Jun.' As for their detailed information—once you master them, you will naturally know." North True Star Lord explained.

"And the condition for mastery?" Luo Feng pressed.

"Mastery primarily requires a stringent willpower," North True Star Lord elaborated. "For the Black Prison Tower, if one is a Universe Master, one must possess the willpower of a Universe Supreme Master. As for the Yan Jun Staff, the requirements are more standard: a Universe Master needs the peak willpower of a Universe Master; a Universe Supreme Master needs the peak willpower of a Universe Supreme Master."

"Oh," Luo Feng nodded.

From the mastery requirements, one could gauge the preciousness of the artifacts. Although most demanded willpower, the degree varied.

The Black Prison Tower's requirement was clearly higher than the Yan Jun Staff's.

However, the Wu God Wing required Universe Venerables to possess the "willpower of the strongest within the universe"... which was a full tier higher than the Black Prison Tower!

And the Star Tower...

The Star Tower's requirement was even more terrifying!

A Sector Lord needed the peak willpower of a Universe Venerable to succeed! As for the requirement for Immortals, Luo Feng was uncertain, but sitting Mountain Guest had claimed that Universe Venerables, Universe Masters, and others had absolutely no chance of mastering it! Furthermore, a failed attempt meant certain death. Its conditions were clearly harsher than the Wu God Wing's!

To this day, although Luo Feng had seen many treasures and knew of many Supreme Treasures, he had never encountered a situation where... failure to master resulted in guaranteed death.

Therefore...

Luo Feng always felt that based on the severity of the mastery requirements, the Star Tower should be the more terrifying and unique item. Yet, even now, the Star Tower appeared standard, showing no unusual traits. In contrast, the power of the Wu God Wing was extraordinary; even in its incomplete state, it was potent. Of course, the Wu God Wing belonged to the mechanical school, inherently excelling at explosive bursts, but regrettably, the most crucial component—the 'Source'—Luo Feng was unwilling to utilize for now.

"If this Stone of Memories satisfies the ancestor of our East Emperor Holy Land, there will be a next transaction," North True Star Lord stood in the void, watching Luo Feng inside the hatch. "I hope the Galaxy Lord does not disappoint our ancestor."

"Rest assured, there will be no disappointment," Luo Feng replied.

"Mm."

North True Star Lord nodded with a smile, then turned and strode away, instantly reaching the entrance fissure of the distant black polyhedron. The massive black sphere vanished into thin air—it had teleported away.

"Hiss!"

The hatch of the Tomb Raider's Boat finally sealed shut.

Luo Feng let out a slow breath.

"Everything went smoothly, no incidents whatsoever. Two Supreme Treasures acquired." Luo Feng returned to the control hall, a smile tugging at his lips as he recalled North True Star Lord's expression earlier.

He could tell...

North True Star Lord had definitely been tempted to act, but without his own small universe, he was merely mid-tier among Universe Supreme Masters, lacking any true certainty of victory.

"If you had rushed into the Tomb Raider's Boat, I would have sealed the door and trapped the dog," Luo Feng thought.

No matter how powerful a Universe Supreme Master was, once inside the Tomb Raider's Boat, doom was sealed.

However...

All races knew the perils within the Tomb Raider's Boat; no one would dare enter.

In the Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island.

Chaos City Lord sat beside a wooden circular table, a screen floating before him displaying a torrent of data detailing the recent situation of the human race across various sectors. Since the demise of Giant Axe Creator nine days prior, Chaos City Lord had been constantly monitoring everything. Now, the entire human race was rapidly being brought to the Primal Universe, involving countless Immortal level beings.

However, the human territory was vast, and gathering everyone would take considerable time.

Even operating at maximum efficiency, utilizing Divine Kingdom Teleportation and other means despite the energy drain, it would still take long, simply because everyone was so widely dispersed.

"Teacher," a figure approached him; it was Luo Feng.

Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up upon seeing Luo Feng, and he quickly inquired, "How was it?"

"Everything went smoothly; the Supreme Treasures are secured," Luo Feng smiled. "I have mastered them and examined them briefly. Both Supreme Treasures are quite good."

Although, based on mastery requirements, they were inferior to the Wu God Wing.

But the true value of a treasure lies in its usability. For a Universe Supreme Master, a Supreme Treasure with six layers of secret patterns and one with nine layers of secret patterns were functionally the same! Because the extra three layers of secret patterns were completely beyond the reach of a Universe Supreme Master to activate.

"One is the Black Prison Tower," Luo Feng explained. "The teacher already knows the characteristics of the Black Prison Tower; it is a true marvel. The other is the Yan Jun Staff, an attack-type Supreme Treasure, and the Yan Jun Staff can also function partially as armor."

When wielding the Yan Jun Staff, its material would naturally extend, covering the entire body to form armor.

While not comparable to a true Supreme Treasure armor, it could rival artifacts on the level of the Maddening Demon God-Slaying Armor.

"The Yan Jun Staff emphasizes weight," Luo Feng elaborated. "It attacks using immensely terrifying gravity. The stronger the divine power used to activate the secret patterns, the heavier and more formidable the Yan Jun Staff becomes."

"Oh!"

Chaos City Lord frowned, nodding slowly. "Looking at it this way, without a doubt, the Black Prison Tower should suit your Martial Uncle, the Lord of Darkness. His strength profile perfectly matches that Black Prison Tower. As for the Yan Jun Staff... it is better suited for the Lord Peng Gong, the most elite among our human race, who excels with staff-type weaponry."

"Lord of Darkness? Lord Peng Gong?" Luo Feng paused in surprise.

"Teacher!" Luo Feng immediately said, "Your strength is currently recognized as the strongest in our race. Once paired with a Supreme Treasure, you would undoubtedly reach the pinnacle of the Sixth Stage. That Black Prison Tower, Teacher, you should take possession of it. Moreover, this Palace-type Supreme Treasure emphasizes defense above all else, so anyone can use it; there's no concept of 'suitability.'"

Considering both Chaos City Lord's standing in the human race and Luo Feng's own feelings, he strongly wished Chaos City Lord would take the Black Prison Tower.

It simply couldn't be that...

The controller of the Primal Universe, Chaos City Lord, possessed no Supreme Treasure, while Luo Feng, Lord Peng Gong, and the Lord of Darkness all had them?
