After the Northern Territory Alliance conceded, they voluntarily withdrew from the two Main Halls and split into several teams to seize treasures from the side halls.
Meanwhile, the eight Universe Master from the Human Alliance gathered on the plaza in front of the Main Hall.
"Haha, Void River did well."
Penggong Master said with a smile, "Because of you, our Hong Alliance was able to easily acquire two sets of top-tier set treasures."
Xi Yun Master of the Flying Spirit Alliance, after inquiring, also learned that Ender possessed a Pinnacle Treasure.
His Human Clone's Immortal Energy body was even as massive as a million kilometers tall, already possessing the combat power of an ordinary Fourth-rank Universe Master.
an Immortal Energy body a million kilometers tall was rare among Fourth-rank and Fifth-rank Universe Master.
Many Fourth-rank and Fifth-rank Universe Master lacked the ability to create Clones, and even if they were born as special life forms, they might not possess such a massive Immortal Energy body.
Among those who could create Clones, only a few possessed such a massive Immortal Energy body.
What was even more commendable was Ender's rapid growth, even faster than that of Chang Jiu Master of the Demon race.
One must know that Chang Jiu Master, due to being valued by Shock Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon race, had undergone tempering in the Universe Ocean early on.
When she first entered the Universe Ocean, even with numerous treasures, she had only just stepped into the Third-rank threshold.
Moreover, during her tempering in the Universe Ocean, she had sent out distress calls several times, causing the entire Demon Clan Alliance to be in a panic to rescue her.
But it must be said that Shock Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor possessed very keen insight.
Chang Jiu Master indeed became a Fifth-rank Universe Master of the Demon race, with her strength and status even higher than the more ancient Mie Jin Master, second only to the two Demon Ancestors.
"Xi Yun Master, thank you for your help in this treasure hunt."
Penggong Master turned his head and said, "After leaving the palace, you can send someone to retrieve the 'Zhu Yan' components."
Upon hearing this, the heartache of Xi Yun Master from losing a large amount of Immortal Energy was finally greatly alleviated at this moment.
In his opinion, being able to retrieve the 'Zhu Yan' components was worth the loss of some Immortal Energy, far better than handing over a top-tier treasure.
"Thank you, Penggong Master."
Xi Yun Master nodded slightly, "Since the treasure hunt has ended, I should also try my luck in the side halls. I won't disturb you further."
Penggong Master smiled, "Please do as you wish."
Upon hearing this, Xi Yun Master transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the main passage.
"Penggong Master, these are the top-tier set treasures, 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Claw,' that we acquired."
Seeing Xi Yun Master leave, Ender took out the four silver beast claws, erased their life imprints, and presented them to Penggong Master.
"Now both main components of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' are in hand."
Penggong Master refined the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Claw' and then took out a silver spine resembling a long whip.
"Now we can go and open the side hall where the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' components are stored."
"According to the agreement between me and Black Lotus Master, the Northern Territory Alliance will not contend for the side hall storing the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' components."
Penggong Master paused and said, "And we will not contend with them for other treasures."
"That's good too."
Dragon Walk Master smiled and nodded, "Each takes what they need, avoiding the risk of conflict with the Northern Territory Alliance."
"Let's go, to open the side hall."
Penggong Master was the first to transform into a streak of light, flying towards the main passage they came from, while Ender and the others followed him.
...
After a while.
Ender and the others arrived in front of an unopened side hall.
They saw a Universe Master from the Northern Territory Alliance there, seemingly waiting for the hall door to open.
"The powerhouses of the Human Alliance have arrived."
That Universe Master of the Northern Territory Alliance secretly thought, "Could it be that this side hall contains the components of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor'?"
"Penggong Master."
That Universe Master bowed slightly upon seeing Penggong Master arrive.
"Hm."
Penggong Master nodded slightly and flew directly to the hall door, placing his hand on the door covered in numerous complex secret patterns.
Boom...
As Penggong Master's hand touched the hall door, brilliant light illuminated the secret patterns on the door.
"It really is..."
Upon seeing this, that Universe Master immediately understood that the treasures stored in this side hall were components of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor'.
"Since this side hall contains components of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor', I shall take my leave."
He did not linger, leaving a voice transmission before transforming into a streak of light and flying away.
Ender and the others did not pay attention to the departure of that Northern Territory Alliance Universe Master, but rather focused on the secret patterns on the hall door that emitted brilliant light.
The light of the secret patterns on the hall door flowed, finally converging into a roaring exotic beast, faintly exuding a sense of violent annihilation.
Boom!
When that exotic beast appeared, the previously tightly shut hall door suddenly opened!
"Follow me inside to take a look."
While the hall door was still opening, Penggong Master sent a voice transmission to Ender and the others.
Upon entering the side hall, everyone saw an altar at the end of the hall, with numerous silver, shield-like armor pieces floating above it.
Roughly counted, there were over a hundred pieces, each emitting a faint pressure, clearly all treasures!
"The more components a set treasure has, and the higher the quality of its main components, the stronger its power."
Dragon Walk Master spoke, "Given the value and power of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor', it should have at least a thousand components."
"Although these armor pieces are ordinary treasures, they are ultimately incomplete and can only unleash the power of a top-tier Arcana Treasure individually."
"Only when combined can they possess stronger power."
Dragon Walk Master shook his head slightly, "However, it's not easy to gather them all. Even if we collect all the components in the palace, we'll probably still be missing a few crucial ones."
"That's normal."
Penggong Master collected all the armor pieces and continued, "For multi-component treasures like this, each piece will have components appearing on multiple Original Stars."
"At that time, we can go and contend for them."
"Even the Flying Spirit Alliance could gather the Pinnacle Treasure 'Zhu Yan', so how could our Hong Alliance fail to gather this 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor'?"
Penggong Master smiled, "It's just contending with other forces. How could our Hong Alliance be afraid?"
Ender and the others nodded.
The Hong Alliance was one of the nine super forces, and in terms of Alliance strength, it ranked among the top, with at least sixty Universe Master on the surface!
Penggong Master then said, "Let's go to the other side halls."
Everyone transformed into streaks of light and left, heading to other side halls to collect 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' components.
...
Several days later.
Virtual Universe, special plane.
"Only five crucial components are left, and the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' will be complete."
Penggong Master said softly, "I have already sent the information of the five components to the Venerables of the Hong Alliance who are searching for treasures on the Original Star."
"Once components of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' are found, Universe Overlords will immediately be mobilized to blockade the area, and at the same time, Universe Master will descend to seize the treasure."
"The 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' is of considerable value. The five components must not fall into the hands of other Alliance forces, giving them an Opportunity to threaten our Hong Alliance."
Penggong Master concluded, "When the palace opens, we should also prioritize acquiring the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' components."
"Understood."
All Universe Master nodded. If the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' were assembled, it would certainly be placed in the Treasure Vault of the Human Race, and all Universe Master who participated in the treasure hunt would receive a certain amount of Arcana Treasure Point rewards.
But before it was assembled, it would nominally be the Hong Alliance contending for the components, mobilizing many Six-Star Venerables and Seven Star Overlords of the Hong Alliance.
Even some hall masters would set out to seize the treasure.
...
Another day passed.
Ender's Immortal Energy Avatar received an email: a Huge Axe Meeting was about to be held.
"A Huge Axe Meeting is the highest-level meeting of the Human Race. Unless there's something important, a meeting won't be convened."
After receiving the email, he murmured softly, "Could something important have happened that requires a Huge Axe Meeting?"
Curious, Ender went directly to the Huge Axe Godly Palace.
...
Virtual Universe, in front of the Huge Axe Godly Palace.
Amidst the chaotic airflow, there was a huge and ancient long stone table.
At this moment, many towering figures had already taken their seats on the thrones on both sides of the stone table.
"Why is this Huge Axe Meeting being held?"
"I was about to ask."
"I don't know either."
One by one, the Universe Master expressed surprise, not knowing the reason for this Huge Axe Meeting.
"Void River is here."
"Void River."
One by one, the Universe Master greeted Ender.
Ender responded with a smile and sat on his own throne.
A Universe Master spoke, "Void River, I heard that you acquired treasures from the palace on Original Star No. 233, treasures whose value is no less than a Pinnacle Treasure."
"With Penggong Master and my teacher taking action, successfully acquiring the treasures is normal."
Ender replied with a smile, "If we hadn't acquired the treasures, that would be strange instead."
Another Universe Master spoke, "I heard from Lancang Master that your Human Clone's Immortal Energy body is a million kilometers tall, which is truly rare."
"an Immortal Energy body a million kilometers tall?"
"Human Clone? Isn't it a Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone?"
"Void River's Human Clone has such a massive Immortal Energy body?"
Upon hearing this, most of the Universe Master were surprised.
Their Immortal Energy bodies were generally around a hundred or a thousand kilometers, with only a very few who had special Opportunities having Immortal Energy bodies of several thousand or tens of thousands of kilometers.
But that was all; it was very difficult for their Immortal Energy bodies to Break through further, because the Human Race's foundation was too poor.
"I had a special Opportunity, which is why my Immortal Energy body is so massive." Ender replied with a smile.
The Universe Master were not surprised by this answer; it would be strange if he had such an Immortal Energy body without a special Opportunity!
"It's An Jue Master."
"An Jue Master is here."
At this moment, An Jue Master walked out from the chaotic airflow, greeted the Universe Master, and sat down.
"An Jue Master, was this treasure hunt intense?" a Universe Master inquired.
Another Universe Master said, "A palace with a diameter of a hundred thousand kilometers, treasure hunting naturally isn't easy."
"It was indeed not easy. This time, our Human Alliance and the Northern Territory Alliance had the most powerhouses. The Northern Territory Alliance brought over ten Universe Master, and Black Lotus Master even descended."
An Jue Master sighed slightly, "Moreover, Zhao Li Master had hidden his strength, possessing Liu Lan Star Master's Pinnacle Treasure 'Yuan Star', and had created a matching ultimate secret technique, overpowering Xi Yun Master of the Flying Spirit Alliance in strength."
"Yuan Star?"
"Zhao Li Master dared to bring out such a treasure?"
"Yes, isn't he afraid of falling and losing the Yuan Star?"
"The value of Yuan Star is not low; perhaps only treasures of the Pinnacle Palace-type Treasure level can surpass it."
The Universe Master sighed, Zhao Li Master's boldness exceeded their expectations.
"With Black Lotus Master there, Zhao Li Master wouldn't have had it so easy."
An Jue Master shook his head slightly, "If Void River hadn't unleashed Fourth-rank strength, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to acquire the treasure."
He recalled that when acquiring the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Claw', the last beast claw fell into Mo Li Master's hands. If Ender hadn't arrived, it would have been very difficult to get it back!
"Void River has Fourth-rank strength?"
"When did Void River obtain a Pinnacle Treasure?"
The Universe Master were quite surprised. Given Ender's wealth as a newly appointed Universe Master, it was impossible for him to have enough Arcana Treasure Points to exchange for a Pinnacle Treasure.
This was indeed the case. Excluding the Dragon Awakening Spear and Molten Crystal, all of Ender's treasures, converted into Arcana Treasure Points, amounted to about 1300 points.
This was enough to exchange for a Pinnacle Treasure weapon, but after exchanging it, he wouldn't have a top-grade top-tier treasure armor for protection, making such an exchange meaningless!
"That Pinnacle Treasure is Penggong Master's 'Crimson Radiance'."
Ender said softly, "Penggong Master lent it to me for the treasure hunt, and it just happened to come in handy during this treasure hunt."
Of course, Ender wouldn't tell them that 'Crimson Radiance' had not been returned to Penggong Master.
It wasn't that he didn't want to return it, but Penggong Master told him to keep using it for now and return it later when he had a Pinnacle Treasure weapon.
Clearly, Penggong Master thought highly of Ender, believing he would soon be able to exchange for a Pinnacle Treasure weapon.
"So it was Penggong Master's 'Crimson Radiance'."
"Since it was lent by Penggong Master, then there's no problem."
The Universe Master suddenly understood and stopped discussing it.
Penggong Master lending a treasure to Ender was a private matter between the two of them.
Such lending of treasures happened not only among Universe Venerables but also among Universe Master, though less frequently.
After all, even if the former fell, they could still be resurrected.
Lending treasures to the former, although there was a risk of the treasure being lost if they fell, at least the person was still alive and could repay the debt with Heavy Treasures or Arcana Treasure Points.
But once the latter fell, they truly fell, and the treasure was gone!
They believed that Penggong Master was willing to lend treasures to Ender because the latter had created the ultimate secret technique, and with a Pinnacle Treasure weapon, he possessed Fourth-rank combat power, making the probability of him falling on the Original Star almost zero!
It was just that...
Penggong Master and Ender's relationship wasn't particularly close, so why would he lend treasures to Ender?
If he were to lend treasures, it should have been Primal Chaos City Lord or Darkness Master of the Virtual Universe lineage who lent them.
Being from the same master's sect, their relationship was even closer!
As the Universe Master were surprised, Ice Summit Master, Dragon Walk Master, and the leaders of the five major forces successively walked out from the chaotic airflow.
"Primal Chaos City Lord."
"Primal Chaos City Lord."
Seeing Primal Chaos City Lord arrive, the Universe Master greeted this powerhouse who eternally guarded Primal Chaos City.
Desolation Master, Void Gold Master, Qingdong Master, and even Penggong Master, as they took their seats, couldn't help but glance at Ender.
Ender also noticed this.
He was somewhat puzzled by this and was about to ask his Senior Martial Uncle Primal Chaos City Lord when...
Whoosh!
The Huge Axe Creator, with his hair disheveled, appeared on the main seat.
Immediately, all the Universe Master turned their gaze to the Huge Axe Creator, their expressions filled with reverence.
"Everyone knows that our Human Race has acquired a treasure whose power, once its components are assembled, is no less than a top-tier Domain Arcana Treasure."
The Huge Axe Creator spoke, "This highest council meeting is to discuss the use of this treasure..."
