The founder of the giant axe smiled.

“Every newly appointed universe lord receives a treasure of the value of a top-tier supreme weapon from their race. Lu Ming, what are your requirements?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is the difference between the elite clans and some smaller forces.

"Lu Ming, please speak freely."

The founder of the giant axe looked at Lu Ming.

Many universe lords also looked at Lu Ming.

Thoughts raced through Lu Ming's mind.

As for lacking rare treasures? He certainly doesn't.

He had gained a lot from the battle in the Shadowy Realm.

All the treasures left behind by the fifty-six Venerable Overlords after their fall are on him.

He hadn't even had time to carefully count these spoils, let alone offer them as sacrifices.

If these gains were sacrificed, along with the few treasures I already possess...

What is truly lacking?

Unless you give him a top-tier, supreme treasure, then sacrificing him might return you an extremely powerful treasure.

But to exchange the value of a top-tier treasure weapon for a supreme-grade treasure? That's obviously impossible.

As for the others, the ultimate treasures...

He currently has the "Sky-Splitting" battle blade for attack, the "Mysterious Scale Armor" for defense, and the "Nine Dragons' Dawn Palace" for his flying palace. Although the grade of his domain-type treasures isn't very high, they're still barely enough.

Upon closer reflection, there really isn't anything that's urgently needed.

"never mind……"

Lu Ming made up his mind.

Looking up at the creator of the giant axe, he calmly said, "This junior desires a top-tier treasure of the soul defense type. Of course, I know it's quite valuable, but I will make up for any missing pieces."

This choice surprised the cosmic lords present.

Upon hearing this, the founder of the giant axe was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Good! You have guts! The value of a top-tier soul defense treasure is indeed far greater than that of an ordinary top-tier weapon, but since you have this need, I will grant your request."

His gaze swept over everyone present, his voice steady: "The top-tier soul defense treasure that Lu Ming needs this time will be provided by the clan's treasury. As for anything exceeding the standard..."

The founder of the giant axe looked at Lu Ming with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "I will make up for it for you."

Upon hearing this, even the Lord of Chaos City and others showed surprise.

Although it was known that the founder of the Great Axe always valued the younger generation of the clan, such generosity was still unexpected.

Lu Ming was also shocked.

He had only made the request tentatively, and he was confident that he could make up for the missing parts. He did not expect the founder of the Giant Axe to be so agreeable.

"This……"

Just as Lu Ming was about to speak, the founder of the giant axe waved his hand to interrupt him.

"No need to say more."

The founder of the giant axe smiled.

"Now that you are a member of the highest echelon of my human race, strengthening your power is strengthening the power of our race. A soul defense treasure is worth it."

"Moreover, if you have this soul defense treasure, your last weakness should be filled."

Lu Ming gave the founder of the giant axe a deep look and said solemnly, "Thank you, founder of the giant axe. I will remember this kindness."

"With this supreme treasure, I am confident that no one in the primordial universe can do anything to me, not even the strongest being in the universe!"

He secretly vowed that he would find an extremely powerful and precious axe in the future to repay the kindness shown to him today.

In fact, Lu Ming knew very well that if he could sacrifice the top-grade treasure axe currently used by the founder of the giant axe, he would very likely obtain a supreme treasure axe.

But this matter is now impossible to bring up—he has neither a suitable reason to demand the weapon of the Great Axe Founder, nor can he explain the existence of the sacrificial system.

"It seems we can only wait for another opportunity."

Lu Ming sighed inwardly.

As soon as Lu Ming said this, the entire area in front of the Giant Axe Temple fell into silence.

All the lords of the universe wore expressions of disbelief.

"What? You're not afraid of the strongest being in the universe?"

The Lord of False Gold couldn't help but speak up.

"Lu Ming, do you know the power of the strongest being in the universe?"

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror's ferocious face was also filled with surprise and doubt: "Among everyone present, those who can be unafraid of the strongest beings in the Primordial Universe are probably only a few fifth-tier Universe Lords like the Lord of Chaos City. Although your combat power is astonishing, you are ultimately still only at the Venerable Realm..."

The Lord of Qingdong frowned and said, "Lu Ming, confidence is a good thing, but don't be too arrogant."

Faced with the crowd's questions, Lu Ming simply smiled and said, "Esteemed seniors, there is something I have never explained before."

He surveyed the crowd and slowly said, "I actually possess two avatars. One is the Nine-Headed Dragon avatar, and the other..."

Lu Ming paused, his voice calm yet booming like thunder in everyone's ears: "It is the Abyss Sea clone. Moreover, the current Abyss Sea has reached a diameter of 35 billion kilometers, and it is still expanding. In the future, it will reach a maximum diameter of 12 light-years."

Chapter 122 The Invincible Land of the Primitive Universe

"what?!"

"A diameter of 35 billion kilometers?!"

"How can this be!"

"Up to 12 light years!"

"You stole the home of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?"

The lords of the universe present all gasped in shock, and even the usually composed Lord of Chaos City showed a look of astonishment.

The founder of the giant axe suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Three hundred and fifty billion kilometers? Lu Ming, are you sure?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Absolutely true."

A collective gasp filled the air in front of the temple.

Master Peng murmured, “No wonder…no wonder you dare to say you’re not afraid of the strongest in the universe. Such a massive divine body, even if it stood still and let people attack it, it would be almost impossible to completely annihilate it!”

"Another Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, only this time it's one of my human race."

For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on the Dark Lord's sinister face: "With the addition of a top-tier soul defense treasure... indeed, the last weakness has been addressed."

The Lord of Dragons exclaimed, "With a divine body this enormous and an impenetrable soul defense... it can truly be said that he is invincible in the primordial universe."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Lu Ming with satisfaction in his eyes: "So that's how it is. No wonder you dared to act like this in the Shadow Realm, it turns out you had such a trump card."

Even if you encounter an opponent you can't handle, you can simply self-destruct.

With the Youhai clone around anyway, self-destruction is just a normal tactic for Lu Ming.

The Giant Axe Founder sat down again and laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! It is truly a great fortune for our human race to have a genius like you!"

His gaze toward Lu Ming was full of admiration: "With this kind of capital, you are indeed qualified to say that you are not afraid of the strongest in the universe. In the primordial universe, even if the strongest in the universe wanted to kill you, it would be almost impossible."

The other universe lords nodded in agreement, their gazes toward Lu Ming now completely changed.

If they had previously regarded Lu Ming as a junior, now they truly placed him on an equal footing with themselves.

A powerful being who possesses such a terrifying divine body and has made up for the shortcomings in soul defense has indeed the ability to roam freely in the primordial universe.

Shortly after the Giant Axe Conference ended, Lu Ming received an email from the Virtual Universe System, informing him to go to the Chaos City Treasury to retrieve the Soul Defense Treasure.

When he stepped into the treasure vault, he was surprised to find that the founder of the giant axe was waiting for him there in person.

"The founder of the Giant Axe?"

Lu Ming was somewhat surprised.

The founder of the giant axe smiled and took out a jade talisman that emitted a soft white light. The jade talisman was crystal clear, with countless fine secret patterns flowing on its surface, and it emitted a reassuring soul fluctuation.

"This treasure is called the 'Heart-Guarding Jade,' and it is the finest among top-tier soul defense treasures."

The founder of the giant axe handed the jade talisman to Lu Ming.

"Its defensive capabilities are sufficient to withstand the soul attack of any universe's strongest being within the primordial universe, enough to allow you to calmly self-destruct."

Lu Ming took the Heart-Guarding Jade and immediately felt a cool sensation spread throughout his body, as if his soul was completely protected by an invisible barrier.

He could clearly feel the immense power contained within this treasure. It was not just an ordinary top-tier soul defense treasure, but a true masterpiece!

"This……"

Lu Ming looked at the founder of the giant axe in shock.

"Such a precious treasure..."

The founder of the giant axe waved his hand and laughed, "Since we're going to make up for your shortcomings, we should naturally choose the best. This Heart-Guarding Jade has been in the treasure vault for a long time, and today it has finally found the most suitable owner for it."

Lu Ming solemnly accepted the Heart-Guarding Jade, his gratitude towards the creator of the Giant Axe growing even stronger. He would repay this kindness tenfold in the future.

After leaving the treasure vault, Lu Ming returned directly to his divine kingdom.

He carefully considered the plan for the sacrifice, since each treasure could only be sacrificed once.

First, he took out all the spoils he had obtained in the battle of Shaddoll's Lair.

After inventory, there were a total of twelve high-grade treasures, 32 ordinary treasures, and a large number of precious materials.

"These treasures are nice, but they are of limited use to me."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment.

He first offered the twelve supreme treasures one by one:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your sacrifice has been successful!]

[Sacrifice the supreme treasure 'Flame Dragon Spear' to trigger an 800x return!]
