Luo Fan heard this and looked at Giant Axe with a meaningful gaze.
"My time exploring the Universe Sea this trip was short, but I did gain something."
"And I also fought the Lord of Blazing Fire from the Ancestral God Sect of the First Reincarnation Era." (TL/N: Blazing Fire, Blazing Flame... Potato Potahto.)
Hearing this, information about the Lord of Blazing Fire instantly surfaced in Giant Axe's mind.
"The Lord of Blazing Fire?"
"That should be a Fourth-Tier Universe Master, right?"
"He possesses a Fire Sea supreme treasure domain that fits him extremely well, along with a peak supreme treasure warhammer."
"Although his Fire Sea domain is only a top-tier supreme treasure domain, when combined with his own abilities, it can fully rival a peak supreme treasure domain."
"With the addition of a peak supreme treasure warhammer, his combat strength is extremely powerful."
"Moreover, he is the only Blazing Fire Mountain lifeform of the First Reincarnation Era."
"His divine body is extraordinarily massive."
"Even though he is only a Fourth-Tier Universe Master, among Fourth-Tier Universe Masters, he ranks among the very strongest."
"It can be said that he is already very close to the Fifth-Tier Universe Master level."
"How did you end up clashing with that stubborn rock?"
After thinking briefly, Luo Fan answered directly.
"At that time, I discovered that Underwater Abyss No. 229800188 had a supreme treasure appearing."
"The disturbance caused by its emergence was quite large."
"When I sent an avatar down to investigate, the Lord of Blazing Fire arrived."
"So my Space Worm clone intercepted him above the abyss."
"My avatar descended alone to check the situation below."
"After all, it was only an avatar. Even if there was danger below, it wouldn't matter."
"And since the Space Worm clone needed to block the Lord of Blazing Fire, they fought for several days."
Giant Axe was not surprised after hearing this.
Such situations were extremely common in the Universe Sea.
As for Luo Fan's safety, Giant Axe believed that as long as the opponent was not a Universe Strongest or a Universe Master possessing a supreme supreme treasure, Luo Fan would have little difficulty handling the situation.
Giant Axe clearly knew how enormous the divine body of the Space Worm clone was.
However, a trace of emotion appeared on his face.
"Normally, one must explore the Universe Sea for countless eras before encountering a supreme treasure's emergence even once."
"I didn't expect that shortly after you entered the Universe Sea, you already encountered one."
"So, did you obtain that supreme treasure?"
Giant Axe was not particularly concerned about the treasure itself.
The moment Luo Fan mentioned the abyss number, Giant Axe already knew its information.
Even at the bottom of that abyss, it barely counted as part of the inner region of Inkling Peak Realm. (TL/N: Inkling Peak is also called Qingfeng in pinyin.)
In such places, obtaining a peak supreme treasure would already be considered fortunate.
Most areas located between the inner and outer regions of Inkling Peak Realm usually produced only top-tier supreme treasures.
Moreover, they were almost always weapon-type top-tier supreme treasures.
Giant Axe did not care much about treasures of that level.
If not for the needs of the human race, he might not even care greatly about peak supreme treasures.
Seeing Giant Axe's expression, Luo Fan naturally understood what he was thinking.
"My avatar bound it immediately after obtaining it."
"After that, I directly left using a wormhole."
Giant Axe nodded.
"Not bad. Your fortune truly is powerful. Your destiny can be called exceptionally blessed."
"You had not been in the Universe Sea long before obtaining a top-tier supreme treasure."
Luo Fan glanced meaningfully at Giant Axe.
"I never said it was a top-tier supreme treasure."
He could not reveal anything about the system.
Therefore, Luo Fan intended to simply claim that the Heaven-Shaking Hammer was the treasure obtained this time.
Giant Axe froze for a moment, the admiration on his face deepening.
"Your luck is unbelievable."
"Your first trip to the Universe Sea, and you already obtained a peak supreme treasure?"
Luo Fan smiled, pretending to sigh as he took out the Heaven-Shaking Hammer.
"Unfortunately, this Heaven-Shaking Hammer doesn't suit me."
"I've rarely used warhammers before."
Seeing Luo Fan produce a hammer-type supreme treasure, Giant Axe knew Luo Fan primarily used blades.
"That's fine. You can exchange it for supreme treasure points and check whether the human race treasury has a blade-type supreme treasure suitable for you."
"If that still doesn't work, you can trade with other Universe Sea factions…"
At that moment, Giant Axe suddenly noticed the secret engravings on the Heaven-Shaking Hammer.
Ordinary supreme treasures usually possessed only three or four layers of secret engravings.
Only special supreme treasures contained more.
Or they were supreme supreme treasures.
Previously, he had never considered that possibility.
After all, it was nearly impossible for a supreme supreme treasure to appear at the boundary between the outer and inner regions of Qingfeng Realm.
Otherwise, Universe Strongest experts would have discovered it long ago.
The outer and inner regions of Inkling Peak Realm were relatively safe for Universe Strongest experts as long as they were cautious.
Such places typically produced only peak supreme treasure weapons or armor.
To obtain rare peak supreme treasures or palace-type treasures, one had to venture deep into the inner region or even the core.
When Luo Fan brought out the hammer, Giant Axe instinctively examined it.
Warhammers were not very different from battle axes.
Giant Axe himself had used hammer-type treasures before, though axes ultimately suited him better.
But while observing the secret engravings, Giant Axe suddenly realized something was wrong.
Seven layers of secret engravings.
Wait…
This is…
Giant Axe immediately extended divine power, wrapping the warhammer.
His voice trembled slightly.
"This is… a supreme supreme treasure?"
Luo Fan smiled but said nothing.
He casually tossed the Heaven-Shaking Hammer toward Giant Axe.
Giant Axe subconsciously caught it.
"You actually obtained a supreme supreme treasure!"
At this moment, Giant Axe's eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
There was also a trace of complexity.
He had explored the core of Inkling Peak Realm for countless eras.
Yet even after all that time, he had never found a supreme supreme treasure.
Because he lacked such a trump card, Giant Axe had always concealed part of his strength.
After endless eras, he had nearly fallen into despair.
After Luo Fan appeared, Giant Axe no longer placed hope on obtaining a supreme supreme treasure.
Now, his only wish was to protect Luo Fan and allow him to grow steadily.
He knew that what the human race needed most was not a supreme supreme treasure, but Luo Fan himself.
If Luo Fan had allowed it, Giant Axe would have stayed inside Luo Fan's world ring at all times just to protect him.
In truth, the other human race experts thought the same.
Although they continued exploring the Universe Sea, most remained in areas of Inkling Peak Realm close to the outer region.
That way, if Luo Fan encountered danger, they could provide immediate support.
Giant Axe himself had planned that after receiving the peak supreme treasure from the demon race, he would remain exploring only within the inner region.
He feared that entering the core region might prevent him from reaching Luo Fan in time if danger arose.
In his heart, Luo Fan already occupied the most important position.
To him, supreme supreme treasures were far less important than Luo Fan.
Yet unexpectedly, Luo Fan, who had entered the Universe Sea only days ago, now stood before him holding one.
It was like a young scientist sent abroad for study returning within a week while piloting an aircraft carrier loaded with lithography machines and raw materials.
Looking at the Heaven-Shaking Hammer in his hands, Giant Axe felt everything was unreal.
"I'm not used to using warhammers either."
"You should be more accustomed to this, right?"
"This Heaven-Shaking Hammer is yours."
Luo Fan spoke calmly while looking at the stunned Giant Axe.
Giant Axe finally reacted.
"You're giving this supreme supreme treasure… to me?"
His voice carried disbelief.
A supreme supreme treasure was unimaginably precious.
Back then, Flame Emperor had betrayed the human race for a single treasure.
And that had not even been a peak supreme treasure.
It was merely a top-tier supreme treasure.
A single top-tier supreme treasure was enough to cause a Universe Master to defect.
Yet now, Luo Fan casually handed him a supreme supreme treasure.
"Among the human race, there aren't many who can properly use a warhammer besides you."
"As for me, I'm more used to blades."
Only then did Giant Axe truly confirm Luo Fan's intention.
He looked at the Heaven-Shaking Hammer, about to speak.
Luo Fan interrupted him directly.
"In my hands, this supreme supreme treasure can't even unleash Sixth-Tier power right now."
"Only in your hands can the Heaven-Shaking Hammer display its true strength."
"The stronger you are, the more time you can buy for our human race."
"That way, I'll have time to grow."
"And with my fortune, I might obtain several more supreme supreme treasures in the future."
"Maybe I'll eventually acquire one that suits me, a supreme supreme treasure blade."
Giant Axe was not a hesitant person. He immediately wrapped the Heaven-Shaking Hammer with divine power.
His divine power seeped into it as he began the binding process.
"Alright. Then I'll accept it."
"But I can't take it for nothing."
"I'll transfer ten thousand supreme treasure points to you shortly."
"If it's not enough, tell me."
"In the future, I'll try to find another supreme supreme treasure for you."
"Or once my strength increases, I'll seize one from another Universe Strongest."
Luo Fan nodded.
He did not care much about those words.
His current strength was still limited. The Heaven-Shaking Hammer could greatly enhance Giant Axe's combat power.
Rather than letting it gather dust in system storage, it was better to give it to Giant Axe.
"After you finish binding it, go share this news with the other human race experts."
Luo Fan said with a smile while watching Giant Axe complete the binding.
Giant Axe simply nodded without speaking.
He focused entirely on binding the Heaven-Shaking Hammer.
…
Time passed quickly, and before long, Giant Axe successfully completed the binding.
For a Universe Strongest, binding a True God–level treasure weapon was extremely simple.
"Let's go. We'll tell everyone this good news!"
After opening his eyes, Giant Axe smiled and spoke to Luo Fan.
