Flame Emperor, good luck…
Ender shook his head slightly after watching the various forces' encirclement and suppression of the North Prison Master.
In fact, Flame Emperor's rash behavior was very foolish; if the powerhouses of various cosmic forces hadn't been dominated by ingrained assumption .
The fact that Flame Emperor was the North Prison Master could have been exposed by the powerhouses of various forces.
The reason being, all cosmic abilities to simulate Divine Power Qi were innate secret techniques, and Flame Emperor was not a special life form, nor did he possess the ability to create Clones, so it was impossible for him to simulate the Divine Power Qi of the North Prison Master under normal circumstances.
However, the powerhouses of various cosmic forces did not know that Sitting Mountain Guest could refine treasures that simulated Divine Power Qi, and had even disguised himself as the North Prison Master and Blood Cloud Palace Master to wreak havoc in the Universe.
"Seventh Senior Brother, after learning that the major cosmic forces' encirclement and suppression of the North Prison Master had failed, perhaps realizing he couldn't escape from the North Prison Master, he chose to self-detonate to get away…"
Ender's eyes held a hint of coldness, "The fact that Flame Emperor is the North Prison Master should only be known to Sitting Mountain Guest and Flame Emperor; even Sitting Mountain Guest's eldest Disciple, Pu Ti, doesn't know."
"Although I know about this, I cannot reveal it…"
Ender had a very good relationship with Seventh Senior Brother. Now that Seventh Senior Brother was forced to self-detonate by Flame Emperor, he was quite displeased.
He was unhappy and wanted to find an excuse to teach Flame Emperor a lesson. If the other party was not sensible, he wouldn't mind killing him!
However, Flame Emperor had Sitting Mountain Guest backing him, so he couldn't directly kill him based on his identity as the North Prison Master. He had to find another suitable reason.
Fortunately, Seventh Senior Brother was a Universe Overlord, and even if he fell, he would be resurrected by Huge Axe Creator.
Since Seventh Senior Brother did not possess any Heaven-Defying Opportunities, falling only meant losing some treasures; he wouldn't lose those unique Heaven-Defying Opportunities.
Of course, Seventh Senior Brother would probably be heartbroken by the loss of so many treasures from his self-detonation, as that was his accumulation over countless years.
And the treasures Seventh Senior Brother lost, Ender would recover a hundred or a thousand times over from Flame Emperor!
Several days later.
"This is…"
Ender, who was Cultivating in seclusion, suddenly received two messages, the content of which made his eyes light up, "They've come together! This is a good Opportunity to teach Flame Emperor a lesson!"
He stood up and disappeared directly within the palace.
…
Original Star, the deepest part of Daylight Sword Tomb.
Within the hall, which was over a billion kilometers in length, height, and width, sword-shaped carvings and decorations were visible everywhere on the walls and pillars.
Deeply carved marks covered the hall floor. If one looked down from a very high vantage point, they could see a profound secret pattern diagram, at the center of which was a bright silver longsword tens of thousands of kilometers tall.
Ice Summit Master, clad in blood-stained armor and wielding a silver longsword, stood on the hilt of that bright silver longsword, surrounded by brilliant green light, looking indifferently at the three Universe Masters around him.
In the distance, there were even more Universe Masters observing the battle.
"I originally thought Ice Summit Master came to Daylight Sword Tomb to seize treasures, aiming for the accompanying Arcana treasure within the Sword Tomb. I didn't expect him to actually possess the strength to seize 'daylight'."
"Not only does he have the strength to seize 'daylight,' didn't you hear Star River Master say that Ice Summit Master possesses a Xeon Arcana treasure and his strength rivals that of an Ancestral God?"
"Xeon Arcana treasure, rivaling an Ancestral God! Humans actually still possess a Xeon Arcana treasure, and it's on Ice Summit Master."
"Not only did we not expect it, but powerhouses like Star River Master also didn't expect Ice Summit Master, who rarely takes action, to be so formidable."
"Humans are truly impressive, with two Sixth-rank Universe Masters possessing Xeon Arcana treasures appearing."
"Hehe, humans have revealed two Arcana treasures now; perhaps there are still more hidden. Huge Axe Creator probably also has an Arcana treasure on him."
"Let's go. The strongest Arcana treasure opened on this Original Star will likely be taken by humans. We should go search for accompanying Arcana treasures instead."
Two familiar Universe Masters, seeing the human Ice Summit Master suppress three Fifth-rank Universe Masters with his sixth-tier combat power, knew that the outcome of this strongest Arcana treasure competition was likely decided.
Therefore, they thought of finding accompanying Arcana treasures early to avoid coming in vain.
The strongest Arcana treasure opened on this Original Star was named 'daylight.' According to the description within the Sword Tomb, 'daylight' was a Pinnacle Domain-type Spirit Weapon-type Arcana treasure.
As the name suggests, 'daylight' could not only be used as a Pinnacle Domain-type Arcana treasure but also as a Pinnacle Spirit Weapon-type Arcana treasure, similar to Morning Star Master's 'Endless Star Sea'.
…
Inside the hall.
Three Universe Masters, exuding powerful auras, all stood a million kilometers away from the bright silver longsword.
"Ice Summit Master, impressive."
Star River Master, whose entire body seemed to be composed of flowing crystal, slowly said, "You've hidden yourself deep enough, able to wield strength comparable to an Ancestral God with an Arcana treasure."
The Ancestral God Sect represented the original universe source will, and the Ancestral God Sect's Three Ancestor Gods, by virtue of their status, could exert top-tier sixth-tier combat power in the Original Universe, with individual strength no less than a True God.
According to Star River Master's understanding, a Universe Master holding an Arcana treasure, even if they thoroughly comprehended the secret techniques and secret patterns on the Arcana treasure, could often only exert sixth-tier combat power.
However, Ice Summit Master could exert top-tier sixth-tier combat power, which clearly indicated that the Arcana treasure in his hand was extraordinary, its quality surpassing ordinary Arcana treasures!
"Ice Summit Master, even if you can exert top-tier sixth-tier strength with an Arcana treasure, it won't be that easy for you to make us give up the fight for 'daylight'!"
Then, a Universe Master exuding a powerful aura spoke coldly.
This Universe Master had black skin, his entire body covered in simple armor, exposing his arms, legs, and feet. His head was a skull, with a forehead protruding forward like a curved saber, and two black flames burning in his eye sockets.
This was the Prison King of the Prison Race!
The Prison King was a being with a special status within the entire Prison Race.
When the entire Original Universe was first born, countless beings began to emerge from the evil place known as 'Prison'.
However, at the 'Ancestral Mountain' within this evil place, a black throne was born, radiating endless Killing Intent…
At that time, the Prison Race beings were still very weak, and each of them believed that only the strongest among them was qualified to sit on that throne.
But unexpectedly, this black throne was actually a living being. Once this being became Immortal, it could automatically change its form!
And strangely, it was born with some characteristics of a 'Arcana treasure'… for example, it could naturally form illusions and naturally form an Arcana treasure Domain!
Moreover, it progressed smoothly, quickly Cultivating to the Universe Master level, becoming the strongest existence in the Prison Race. However, after that, it could not improve at all.
Other powerhouses of the Prison Race were born one after another, like the Demon Ancestor, who was a latecomer and also became the Ancestor of the entire Prison Race!
Yet, the Demon Ancestor still respected the 'Prison King'.
After the Prison Race Alliance obtained a Daylight Sword Tomb token, they intended to have the Prison King, a powerful and very special figure in their race, come and seize the treasure.
The Prison King possessed partial Arcana treasure characteristics, and combined with the powerful Arcana treasure he wore, his individual strength could overpower either Star River Master or Siphon Easy Master.
However, when two Universe Masters joined forces, the Prison King was no match and was instead suppressed.
But what these three Fifth-rank Universe Masters didn't expect was that Ice Summit Master, whom they only needed to be wary of, displayed the formidable strength of a Sixth-rank Universe Master, and they could only contend with him by joining forces.
"Ice Summit Master, if you want to seize 'daylight,' it's best to pay some price."
Siphon Easy Master, who seemed to be formed from yellow sand and wore green armor, spoke slowly.
As the ruler of the Yuan Chen Alliance, Siphon Easy Master did not want to make things too difficult with humans.
There was no other way; the strength displayed by humans was too formidable. Just on the surface, there were as many as five Fifth-rank Universe Masters! In addition, humans also had Void River Master and Ice Summit Master, these two Sixth-rank Universe Masters, as well as True Gods, Huge Axe Creator.
With so many high-end combat forces, the Hong Alliance, led by humans, was only slightly weaker than the Ancestral God Sect in the Original Universe. Other super forces could not compare to them!
"Northern Territory Alliance, Prison Race Alliance, Yuan Chen Alliance…"
Ice Summit Master's gaze swept around, and he slowly said, "Three top-tier Arcana treasure armors from each side, in exchange for your abandonment of 'daylight'."
"Too low!"
"Not enough."
The Prison King and Star River Master spoke one after another.
"Three top-tier Arcana treasure armors, and you want to exchange them for 'daylight'…"
Siphon Easy Master shook his head and said, "Ice Summit Master, 'daylight' is a Pinnacle Domain-type Spirit Weapon-type Arcana treasure, its value far exceeding that of ordinary Pinnacle Domain-type Arcana treasures."
Ice Summit Master's expression was indifferent, his gaze sweeping over the three Fifth-rank Universe Masters.
If this wasn't the Original Universe, but the Universe Ocean, he wouldn't even want to give three top-tier Arcana treasure armors!
Because in the Universe Ocean, with the Fusion strongest secret technique he created, coupled with the 'Frost Sword' Arcana treasure whose fourth-level secret patterns he had comprehended, and the Burning Divine Power Secret Technique that could greatly enhance his strength.
He could exert strength in the Universe Ocean that approached or even reached that of an ordinary True God, crushing these three Fifth-rank Universe Masters before him was not an issue.
Unfortunately, this was the Original Universe, where the upper limit of individual strength that could be exerted was top-tier sixth-tier.
When he previously fought with the three Universe Masters, he tried to use the Burning Divine Power Secret Technique, but his strength did not increase at all, wasting so much Divine Power for nothing.
"One top-tier Domain-type Arcana treasure of this level for each side."
Ice Summit Master said coldly, "If you are still not satisfied, then we can only continue to fight and see who can't hold on!"
The three top-tier Arcana treasure armors he offered earlier had a total value of 2000-3000 Arcana Treasure Points.
The valuable top-tier Arcana treasure he was now offering to each side had a total value of 6000-8000 Arcana Treasure Points.
For a Pinnacle Domain-type Arcana treasure, the Human Race's treasure exchange price started at 20,000 Arcana Treasure Points.
And 'daylight' was a Pinnacle Domain-type Spirit Weapon-type Arcana treasure, with a high quality, its value starting at least at 40,000 Arcana Treasure Points.
It seemed that exchanging three valuable top-tier Arcana treasures for 'daylight' was a very good deal, with the cost being more than 5 times the gain.
Ice Summit Master originally didn't want to pay such a high price, but unfortunately, this was the price given after discussion by Huge Axe Creator and others.
If Star River Master and the others did not accept, then the battle would continue until one side could no longer bear the Divine Power loss!
"Yes, we accept."
Star River Master and the others agreed after a brief discussion.
Because they all understood that this was already the highest offer from the Human Race. If they didn't agree, a great battle would ensue.
The upcoming great battle would not be a mere probing like before, but a true, fierce struggle for the treasure, continuing until one side could no longer bear the Divine Power loss!
Because Star River Master, Prison King, and Siphon Easy Master were not from the same Alliance force, they could not achieve absolute trust. Perhaps someone would reach a deal with the Human Race during the battle and then backstab.
Therefore, to avoid the upcoming great battle, obtaining a valuable top-tier Arcana treasure as compensation and giving up the competition for the valuable Pinnacle Arcana treasure 'daylight' was undoubtedly the best choice.
"How do we trade?" Siphon Easy Master asked.
Star River Master and the Prison King also looked at Ice Summit Master, awaiting his reply.
"You set a location, and our human powerhouses will arrive as soon as possible to hand over the three top-tier Arcana treasures to you," Ice Summit Master said indifferently.
The Prison King spoke, "Ice Summit Master, I want a top-tier flying palace-type Arcana treasure. Your Human Race should be able to satisfy this, right?"
"Our Human Race will provide one top-tier Domain-type, one Soul-type, and one flying palace-type Arcana treasure. You can discuss how to distribute them yourselves," Ice Summit Master replied.
The Prison King, Star River Master, and Siphon Easy Master exchanged glances briefly, seemingly discussing in secret via telepathy.
Finally, the Prison King slowly said, "No problem. The trading location will be…"
After the Prison King finished speaking, the powerhouses waited quietly.
…
Several minutes later.
Original Universe, a certain desolate star field.
Peng Gong Master, Void Gold Master, Phantom Blood Master, Lancang Master, and six other Universe Masters teleported over, only to see numerous powerhouses from the Northern Territory Alliance, Prison Race Alliance, and Yuan Chen Alliance in the distance.
"To obtain the strongest Arcana treasure 'daylight' opened on this Original Star, our Human Race actually has to trade with other forces."
"With three top-tier Fifth-rank Universe Masters joining forces, even Ice Summit Master would have to pay a huge price. Don't forget that outside the Daylight Sword Tomb, powerhouses from various forces are gathered."
"This trade was decided by Huge Axe Creator; we just need to follow this instruction."
Watching the powerhouses of the three forces in the distance, the human Universe Masters communicated via telepathy, while also waiting for the trade message.
…
"Let's begin the trade."
Star River Master, the Prison King, and Siphon Easy Master learned through their Divine Power Avatars that the human powerhouses, Peng Gong Master, Void Gold Master, and others, had already arrived at the trading location.
As the words fell, the three Universe Masters withdrew their Divine Power, allowing Ice Summit Master to brand his life imprint on the bright silver longsword 'daylight', which was tens of thousands of kilometers tall.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the three forces also received the three valuable top-tier Arcana treasures given by the human powerhouses.
The three sides seemed to have already discussed it, with the flying palace-type Arcana treasure going to the Prison Race, the Domain-type Arcana treasure to the Yuan Chen Alliance, and the Soul-type Arcana treasure to the Northern Territory Alliance.
The human powerhouses did not care how the three forces distributed them. After the trade was concluded, they rushed towards the Original Star to rendezvous with Ice Summit Master.
…
Universe Ocean, Flowing Overlapping Mountains inner region.
Above the varying heights of strange rocks, space-time had long been distorted, and the Law of the Universe's operation retreated.
Huge Axe Creator, with his hair disheveled like a savage, held a black Divine Axe, and wore black armor derived from the Divine Axe.
And around him were…
A gigantic black-shelled, serrated strange beast.
A silver-white great snake surrounded by countless snake shadows.
A purple sphere with twisted patterns on its surface.
And a black oval sphere.
