Three months passed in the blink of an eye, a fleeting moment for powerhouses of their caliber.
During that time, even more powerful figures gathered around the golden temple.
"That's... Lord Qilan?" Lord Youhou's composure finally cracked.
Lord Qilan was another Universe Master from the Northern Frontier Alliance, a third-tier Universe Master whose strength vaguely surpassed Lord Youhou's. He possessed both a massive divine body and a top-tier armor-type Arcana.
This Lord Qilan was a troublesome Universe Master, quite famous within the Northern Frontier Alliance!
If he also joined the fight for the Heavenly Flowing Sail, humanity's chances of securing the treasure would drop dramatically.
"Lord Qilan," Lord Baizhu said respectfully.
"Mm." Lord Qilan nodded slightly, then glanced at Lord Youhou with a cold sneer before falling silent.
Lord Qilan's appearance resembled that of an ancient Earth mammoth, with white fur growing from his four hooves and a massive, stout body. His divine form towered even larger than Han Jue's human form, reaching hundreds of thousands of kilometers in height, a special life form through and through.
"Junior brother, you'll need to be extra careful once we're inside. Even if we can't snatch the treasure together, nothing can happen to us," Lord Youhou transmitted telepathically.
Han Jue nodded, acknowledging the warning.
The temple was about to open!
The golden gate slowly swung open, and the moment it did, the four Universe Masters, eighteen Universe Overlords, and hundreds of Universe Venerables present rushed into the temple, each vying to seize the initiative.
Han Jue naturally counted himself among the four Universe Masters.
However, he wasn't entirely certain whether he qualified as a second-tier or third-tier Universe Master, since he hadn't yet unleashed his full power in battle.
During the tens of thousands of years he'd spent traveling the universe, Han Jue had completely refined the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body, achieving a terrifying 81-fold amplification of his divine body. When he attempted to proceed to the next step, reaching a hundredfold amplification, the Ice Peak Lord had instructed him to research the corresponding tenth prison secret technique himself.
This proved somewhat troublesome, but it wouldn't significantly impact his current strength.
As the last Universe Venerable entered the temple, the massive doors slowly closed behind them.
Now, the battle for the top-tier palace-type Arcana, the Heavenly Flowing Sail, would begin in earnest!
Upon entering the temple, Han Jue discovered he'd been separated from Lord Youhou.
On Primordial Star, virtual universe communication was impossible, and Han Jue had no idea where Lord Youhou had gone.
Beside him appeared three Universe Venerables from different races.
"Star Sea Venerable!"
Someone recognized Han Jue and exclaimed in alarm.
Han Jue's reputation on Primordial Star had grown considerably over the years.
Even those unfamiliar with him had heard of his immense strength, and from the pronouncements of Universe Venerables from top-tier races, they naturally knew the title "Star Sea Venerable."
However, some who didn't know Han Jue personally had given him a new name:
Void Realm Venerable.
This name stemmed from the Boundless Void Domain he wielded.
For Han Jue, this name sounded far better than "Star Sea Venerable," and adopting this title in the future seemed quite fitting.
After all, the Northern Frontier Alliance already had a Star River Master.
If Han Jue became the 'Star Sea Master,' he'd inevitably be compared to the Star River Master, which would prove quite annoying. Han Jue didn't want such a derivative title.
Of the three Universe Venerables, two belonged to the Mechanical Race Alliance, and the remaining one bore no grudge against humanity.
"Five Transformations Sword Qi!"
With a single sword strike, Han Jue instantly killed the two Universe Venerables from the Mechanical Race Alliance!
"Ah, "
The two Universe Venerables couldn't even utter a complete scream before their divine bodies were utterly annihilated, perishing completely.
"Star... Star Sea Venerable." The remaining Universe Venerable trembled, not daring to move.
What a joke!
Two beings of the same realm were instantly killed, meaning Han Jue wouldn't need much effort to kill him either.
"From now on, call me Void Realm Venerable... or simply Lord of the Void Realm," Han Jue said.
After this seizure of the Heavenly Flowing Sail, the fact that Han Jue possessed Universe Master-level combat power would be officially spread throughout the universe. At that time, all races would regard Han Jue as a Universe Master.
"Yes, Lord of the Void Realm!"
The Universe Venerable realized Han Jue didn't intend to kill him, and his heart calmed considerably. He nodded excitedly.
Han Jue nodded slightly and turned to leave.
This temple resembled a huge golden maze.
The surrounding walls were no less sturdy than ordinary Arcana. Han Jue estimated that the temple itself was probably a palace-type Arcana, and he wondered if he could take it away.
The maze was vast. Han Jue had been wandering through it for over a month without encountering anyone else.
The three he'd met at the beginning were all he'd seen.
Keep in mind, over a hundred people had entered this temple! Even the weakest among them were high-level Universe Venerables.
Whoosh!
Han Jue's speed exploded to its limit, rapidly passing through the corridor before him. After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up!
Before him stretched a golden hall!
The hall was incredibly vast, a million kilometers high and tens of millions of kilometers wide. Many people had already gathered there.
"Star Sea Venerable."
As soon as Han Jue appeared, a Universe Venerable from the Hong Alliance immediately approached him.
"Star Sea Venerable." In the distance, where the powerful figures of the Northern Frontier Alliance had gathered, Lord Baizhu frowned as he looked at Han Jue.
Lord Baizhu's strength was slightly inferior to Lord Heavenly Wolf's. After all, Lord Heavenly Wolf was a veteran Universe Master from a top-tier clan, possessing the Heavenly Wolf Palace, a high-tier palace-type Arcana, which Lord Baizhu couldn't match.
Since Han Jue could force Lord Heavenly Wolf to use the Heavenly Wolf Palace, his strength was probably similar to Lord Baizhu's.
Furthermore, during Han Jue's time on Primordial Star, Lord Baizhu had heard that Han Jue's strength had increased significantly. He'd seemingly broken through to the Universe Master realm and mastered an extremely powerful domain-type Arcana or special secret technique with astonishing effects.
Lord Baizhu estimated that if he were to actually fight Han Jue, he would most likely be unable to defeat him.
Meanwhile, Han Jue was also pondering.
Could Lord Baizhu force him to use his full strength?
"What's the situation here?" Han Jue asked the Universe Venerable from the Hong Alliance.
The Universe Venerable immediately explained, "To obtain the supreme Arcana, the Heavenly Flowing Sail, one must enter the second level of the temple. The first level is a maze, containing three halls similar to this one. Passing through these halls will allow entry to the second level."
Hearing this, Han Jue nodded.
