Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 464 Zhou Ze's Doubts! The Primordial Ancestor's Soul Enslavement Secret Technique

Unlike other races, humans possess virtual universes. Generally, once you reach the planetary level and don't become disconnected from the universe, you will enter the virtual universe.

People who are connected to the universe but do not have a virtual universe account are almost non-existent except in special circumstances. In this virtual universe network era, the probability of a genius growing up without being discovered is almost infinitely close to 0.

Not to mention such a cosmic overlord-level existence. Even if other races don't know about it for protection, they certainly do know about it internally. As the Lord of Void Gold, the Lord of the Universe stands at the pinnacle of the primordial universe. Apart from Zhou Ze's existence back then, there is nothing he doesn't know.

"We can't find any information or intelligence about you in the virtual universe. Who exactly are you?" The Lord of False Gold asked coldly.

The aura of this descendant of the giant axe was completely unfamiliar; he was definitely not one of their own kind and was probably a member of another race in disguise.

Seeing the Void Gold Lord's aura surge and he seemingly about to attack, Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Void Gold..."

At the same time, Zhou Ze regained his original appearance, and his aura and soul returned to what they were before.

The Lord of False Gold blinked, his handsome face filled with utter surprise: "Holy Master, how could it be you?"

"Your disguise is too perfect. I can't detect your divine body structure or soul aura at all. You..."

"Hmm... come to think of it, I've been stationed here since before the Primal Star opened. It's impossible for anyone to sneak into the Primal Star through this passage without my knowledge, while you were directly teleported here..."

The Lord of Void Gold paused slightly, his eyes filled with boundless curiosity: "Holy Master, you're so lucky to have obtained a top-tier treasure armor?"

"Haha, my luck is indeed quite good. Those two guys, the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of the Lion, underestimated me because they thought I was just a cosmic overlord. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to seize this top-tier treasure armor so easily!"

Zhou Ze laughed heartily. With a thought, the top-tier treasure armor, larger than a star, rapidly shrank and merged into Zhou Ze's cells.

"I can't chat with you any longer, I'm going to Chaos City to exchange for a weapon..."

Zhou Ze immediately summoned a soul servant and ordered him to activate the divine kingdom teleportation.

……

The Lord of False Gold stared blankly at the spot where Zhou Ze had left, a hint of surprise in his heart:

"The Holy Master has only been inside for a short time, yet he has already obtained a top-tier treasure armor from two Universe Lords. Truly..."

The Lord of False Gold realized he was completely blind to Zhou Ze's strength. In fact, Zhou Ze had never revealed his true strength; he was a complete mystery.

Perhaps only the Lord of Chaos City and the Primordial Ancestor know some of this.

The Lord of False Gold disappeared before the passage and hid in the spatial interlayer. A wisp of his consciousness connected with the virtual universe and shared the information that Zhou Ze had obtained the top-tier treasure armor with the other universe lords.

Since Zhou Ze didn't ask him to keep it a secret, he obviously didn't care if he revealed it.

The rulers of the universes were quickly shocked to learn that Zhou Ze had obtained a top-tier treasure armor.

"The Holy Master obtained a top-tier treasure armor so quickly? His luck is unparalleled..."

"Hmm, to snatch the armor from two universe lords, the Holy Master's strength seems far greater than we imagined!"

"Amazing! The Holy Master is actually the first among us to obtain a top-tier treasure."

A group of cosmic lords were expressing their sentiments in a makeshift chat room when Zhou Ze quietly spoke up:

"Anyone need a top-tier treasure armor? If so, trade one top-tier treasure weapon, preferably a longsword, and two high-grade treasure weapons!"

Zhou Ze's words immediately attracted the attention of all the universe lords.

"Holy Master, you don't even need a top-tier treasure armor?"

"Um, Holy Master, you probably don't have a top-tier treasure armor yet, right? You're not the Lord of the Universe yet, and your clan hasn't equipped you with a top-tier treasure. You probably don't."

"Holy Master, aren't you going to keep this top-tier treasure armor for yourself?"

After briefly replying to the comments from these Huawei "curious cosmic masters," Zhou Ze sent another message:

"One top-tier supreme weapon is a must. As for two high-grade supreme weapons, if you don't have those, you can give me four sets of high-grade supreme weapon forging materials instead!"

Four sets of high-grade treasure refining materials?

In the temporary chat room, many universe lords who lacked top-tier treasure armor suddenly became very interested.

As one of the six most powerful races, the human race naturally has accumulated some top-tier treasures in its clan treasury. However, these top-tier treasures are not given away for free; they need to be exchanged based on contributions, which is called treasure points.

The race is awarded Treasure Points based on its contributions to the Lord of the Universe. These contributions typically include completing missions, handing over treasures, and providing information about the perilous areas of the cosmic sea.

A top-tier treasure weapon typically costs 80 treasure points, a top-tier treasure armor costs about 100 treasure points, and two high-level treasure weapons cost about 20 treasure points.

The conditions Zhou Ze proposed seemed to be an equal exchange, but they were actually a win-win situation.

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice":

If Zhou Ze were to hand over the top-tier treasure armor to the clan's treasury, the treasure points he would receive would definitely be slightly lower. Furthermore, the cost for the lords of the universe to exchange for two high-grade treasures would be far greater than that of four sets of high-grade treasure refining materials.

Soon, Zhou Ze received private messages from several universe lords.

Of the several private messages from the Lords of the Universe, all indicated that they could exchange for it, but Zhou Ze chose Lord Youhou after a moment's thought.

Under the same conditions, Zhou Ze would naturally choose the Lord of the Universe from the Virtual Universe Company, since he himself was affiliated with the Virtual Universe Company.

Zhou Ze quickly replied to several emails to the other universe lords, and then directly sent an email to Lord Youhou, saying:

Are you on the Primal Planet right now?

Lord Youhou immediately replied: "Yes, Holy Master, I am on my way back. By the way, Holy Master, are you in a hurry for the high-grade treasure materials? If not, could you give me some time?"

Zhou Ze replied, "I'm not in a hurry for high-grade treasure materials, but I need top-grade treasure weapons right now!"

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

After waiting for about half a day, the Lord of Youhou flew out from the Primal Star Passage and teleported directly in front of Zhou Ze.

"Pretty fast, have you gotten any treasures these past few days?" Zhou Ze asked with a smile, handing over a world ring.

"You're lucky, without the Holy Master. You only got one high-grade treasure, a few other treasures, and top-tier heavy treasures!" Lord Youhou said with envy.

It's important to understand that even if the Primordial Star remained active for a thousand epochs, the appearance of top-tier treasures would be rare. Many universe lords might not be able to obtain a single top-tier treasure even after 1000 epochs.

However, Zhou Ze obtained a top-tier treasure armor within just a few days of the Primordial Star's opening, which made Zhou Ze very envious.

"Here you go, Holy Master, this is a top-tier treasure longsword and four sets of high-grade treasure materials. I will gather them soon!" Lord Youhou said quickly.

"Well, seeing you like this, I won't chat with you any longer. I wish you success in acquiring more treasures, hehe..." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll be going now." Lord Youhou had no intention of chatting with Zhou Ze. The frequency of treasures appearing was the highest during the initial stage of the Primordial Star's opening.

Compared to other established universe rulers, Lord Youhou clearly lacks several suitable treasures.

After Lord Youhou left, Zhou Ze immediately imprinted his soul mark on the treasured longsword and refined it, and then activated the overclocking state to comprehend the secret runes.

In a very short time, Zhou Ze created several suitable secret techniques based on the secret patterns on the longsword.

"With this top-tier treasure longsword and its accompanying secret techniques, my attack power has increased by at least one level compared to before, making it much more efficient to seize treasures in the future!"

……

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

During his more than one hundred years on the Primordial Star, Zhou Ze reaped considerable rewards, acquiring over ten high-grade treasures, thousands of ordinary treasures, and countless heavy and top-grade heavy treasures.

Unfortunately, apart from the top-tier treasure armor I encountered at the beginning, I haven't obtained another top-tier treasure.

The supreme treasure is something that can cause universe lords to fight over. Even top universe lords will get involved. Even the Chaos Lord, the most powerful universe lord in the original universe, would not mind acquiring one.

Zhou Ze possessed a top-tier treasure longsword and a complete set of high-grade treasures, enough to surpass a third-tier universe lord, but still not enough to face a true top-tier universe lord.

These top universe masters all possess supreme treasures, more or less, whose power is truly terrifying.

One of his clones was vying for the treasure when he was caught in the aftershocks of an attack by a top-tier universe master and died.

"Devouring worlds is all about treasures, secret techniques, and fortuitous encounters. Only with a top-tier treasure longsword and a complete set of high-level treasures, plus secret techniques, can I truly possess the attack power of a third or fourth-tier universe lord. But clones, especially those without even a single treasure, can be instantly killed by any universe lord wielding one!"

Zhou Ze was slightly annoyed.

"I still need to find a way to enslave a Universe Lord. That way, I can break through to the Universe Lord level. Once I break through, I will definitely become a top-tier Universe Lord. With a complete set of supreme treasures, even the strongest ordinary universe beings won't be able to do anything to me!"

"But it's not easy to enslave a Universe Lord. At the level of a Universe Lord, their will and consciousness are terrifyingly strong. Even the strongest being in the universe would find it difficult to enslave a Universe Lord. The Primordial Ancestor was able to enslave a Universe Lord because his will was at least at the level of a Void True God..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze paused: "Soul enslavement usually requires a soul, right? But how did the Primordial Ancestor enslave a soulless mechanical universe lord?"

"As far as I know, the Primordial Ancestor was extremely skilled in soul attacks; perhaps he received a special inheritance in the Cosmic Sea..."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Ze immediately entered the virtual universe and found the Lord of Chaos City to explain his purpose.

"Soul control techniques? Our teacher is indeed skilled in soul manipulation, even enslaving the mechanical universe lord. We've sometimes speculated about it. In that case, I'll ask him and see what he says!"
