Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 468 A Protracted Tug-of-War! Zhou Ze began to have some ideas.

The Lord of the Golden Gauntlet has a relatively weak will, but his strength is not weak. With his enormous divine body, apart from a few other universe lords with equally enormous divine bodies, few universe lords are willing to fight him in a protracted battle.

Such a massive divine body is something that even a typical universe lord, after exhausting their entire divine body, would find difficult to deplete even a fraction of the Golden Wedge Lord's divine body. While others would require a vast amount of treasures to recover from severe damage to their divine bodies, the Golden Wedge Lord could easily recover by relying on his enormous divine body.

If the Lord of the Black Lotus wasn't among the cosmic lords vying for Tian Liufan this time, and he was lucky enough to be the first to seize Tian Liufan, he would only need to use his massive divine body to run while enduring the attacks of the other cosmic lords, and then take the opportunity to imprint his soul mark on them.

But the truth is, he was a bit unlucky. The Black Lotus Lord, the Universe Lord who came in this time, was not only a top-level Universe Lord, but his strength was not much weaker than that of the Chaos City Lord. Moreover, he had a top-level treasure, the Flying Palace!

Flying palace-type treasures are almost completely immune to physical attacks. The higher the level of the flying palace-type treasure, the faster its flight speed, far exceeding that of any space warship.

The Lord of the Golden Gauntlet was no match for the Lord of the Black Lotus. Even though he kept sacrificing parts of his divine body and trying to stop the Lord of the Black Lotus through self-destruction, it still didn't have a very good effect.

The defensive power and speed of top-tier treasures like flying palaces are so great that even the strongest beings in the universe would find them difficult to destroy. A mere third- or fourth-tier universe lord is simply no match for them.

"Lord of the Golden Gripping Sword! This Heavenly Flowing Sail is of immense value; you cannot control it!"

As the Lord of the Black Lotus pursued, he transmitted his voice:

"If you hand him over to me, I can give you a top-tier treasure weapon!"

The Lord of the Golden Gauntlet almost laughed in anger: "Do you think I'm a fool?! This special-type top-tier treasure is worth no less than a top-tier soul-type treasure! You think you can fob me off with a mere top-tier weapon?!"

"Come and take it if you dare! You think I'll hand it over willingly? No way!"

The Lord of the Black Lotus within the Black Lotus Temple remained unperturbed, smiling slightly as he transmitted his voice, "With my strength, obtaining the supreme treasure is only a matter of time. Since you are ungrateful, you will ultimately end up with nothing!"

The Lord of the Golden Gauntlet did not reply, focusing solely on escaping. He was quite displeased; they were both Lords of the Universe, so what was there to be so smug about? Top-tier Lords of the Universe were indeed very strong, but killing him was virtually impossible.

Why should he back down?

The Lord of Golden Gauntlets was very displeased with this arrogant tone. "What the hell are you pretending for?"

……

"It's turned into a long, drawn-out battle!"

Zhou Ze stood high in the void, watching the three universe lords chase each other. No wonder this battle for the Heavenly Sail had lasted for six years.

"Although the Golden Wing Lord's divine body is enormous, it shouldn't be able to hold out for six years against the Ice Peak Lord and the Black Lotus Lord, one a peak Universe Lord and the other a top-tier Universe Lord."

Zhou Ze waited patiently, and before he knew it, a year had passed.

The Lord of the Golden Gauntlet has lost 10% of his divine body, which is affecting his strength.

Losing up to 10% of one's physical strength has almost no impact on one's abilities.

With a 30% loss, our strength is reduced to only 50%.

With a 50% loss, our strength is reduced to only 10%.

In just one year, the Lord of the Golden Gauntlet has lost more than 10%. How will he survive the next five years?

Zhou Ze became somewhat interested.

"This can't go on!"

As the Lord of the Golden Gauntlet ran, he pondered inwardly.

"My divine body has suffered more than 10% damage, which is already affecting my performance. Continuing like this will only lead to more losses than gains..."

Feeling the Black Lotus Temple and the Ice Peak Lord following him, the Lord of Golden Gauntlets gritted his teeth, sacrificed another part of his divine body, detonated it, and then drew an arc in the air, throwing the Heavenly Flowing Sail in his hand directly at the Ice Peak Lord!

The Lord of Ice Peaks widened his eyes, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. He knew that the Lord of Golden Wraps couldn't withstand the pressure of losing his divine body and wanted him to temporarily distract the Lord of Black Lotus. This was a blatant scheme, unless he didn't want the Heavenly Flowing Sail.

"Hmph! Maybe this is my chance!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks immediately took the Heavenly Flowing Sail into his hand and flew swiftly in another direction.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Black Lotus in the Black Lotus Temple snorted coldly and transmitted his voice, "Lord of the Ice Peak, hand over the Heavenly Flowing Sail. Your human race has already offended the three major alliances of the Insect Race, the Demon Race, and the Mechanical Race. Do you intend to offend my Northern Frontier Alliance as well?"

The Lord of Ice Peak fled without looking back, transmitting his voice: "Lord of Black Lotus, stop with the useless talk, come and snatch the Heavenly Flowing Sail from me if you dare!"

Enraged, the Lord of the Black Lotus immediately steered the Black Lotus Temple toward the Lord of the Ice Peak, unleashing a barrage of secret techniques through the temple's gates to attack him.

"This can't go on..."

While resisting or dodging the attacks of the Black Lotus Lord, the Ice Peak Lord was becoming somewhat impatient.

"Being constantly attacked, I had no time to imprint my soul mark."

"It seems we can only continue like this until the Black Lotus Lord's divine power is exhausted and his strength weakens..."

……

"Killing a universe master is incredibly difficult... especially one who's desperately trying to escape!"

"Killing a universe master is incredibly difficult... especially one who's desperately trying to escape!"

Zhou Ze finally understood why soul defense treasures were so precious.

Annihilation of pure energy is unlikely to cause real damage unless the difference in strength exceeds hundreds or thousands of times, while soul attacks can directly damage the opponent's divine body.

"The Lords of Ice Peak and Golden Gauntlet are treating the Lord of Black Lotus like a dog..."

Zhou Ze couldn't help but laugh. A top-tier universe master was actually in such a sorry state, all for the sake of fighting for a supreme treasure.

After the Ice Peak Lord lost nearly 10% of his divine body, he threw the Heavenly Flowing Sail to the Golden Whirlwind Lord. When the Golden Whirlwind Lord could no longer bear it, he threw it back to the Ice Peak Lord. This went on and on, over and over again. Even though the Black Lotus Lord was furious inside, he had no way to stop it.

The only option is to supply them as effectively as possible, increasing the frequency of the exchange of Tianliu Sail between the two sides. This will weaken their strength, eventually forcing them to give up competing with them.

"Huh! Something's gone wrong!" Zhou Ze's eyes widened.

Just as the Ice Peak Lord threw the Heavenly Flowing Sail to the Golden Whirlwind Lord again, a beam of black light suddenly appeared in the Black Lotus Temple, directly striking the Heavenly Flowing Sail. This caused the Heavenly Flowing Sail to fly diagonally downwards at an astonishing speed. The three Universe Lords pursued it closely, but their speed was still considerably slower.

Zhou Ze had the best view. He saw a cosmic overlord immediately grab the Tianliu Sail flying towards him, then flee, continuously infusing it with immortal power, trying to imprint a soul mark.

In the primordial universe, it would be impossible for a single cosmic overlord to compete with three cosmic lords for a treasure. However, this is the primordial planet, where everyone is under immense pressure, including their speed.

This cosmic overlord, holding the Heavenly Flowing Sail, was already some distance away from the three cosmic lords. Moreover, as soon as he got his hands on it, he immediately burned his divine power and moved away from the three cosmic lords. For a while, the three cosmic lords were unable to catch up with him and could only watch helplessly as this cosmic overlord branded his soul mark.

That's the charm of the Primal Star Treasure Hunt!

Even cosmic sovereigns and cosmic overlords have the opportunity to seize treasures from the cosmic lords, and once they successfully imprint their soul mark, they will be teleported out and safely returned.

Therefore, whenever a supreme treasure appears, even if the Lord of the Universe is present, many Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords are willing to go in and take a gamble.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

This cosmic overlord had bloodshot eyes, and all his will and consciousness were mobilizing the power of immortality, constantly penetrating Tian Liufan with maximum output, just like a gambler who had lost everything.

How could he miss such a good opportunity? If he succeeded, he would obtain a special top-tier treasure, and then he would be able to escape with ease even if he faced the Lord of the Universe.

Just then, more than a dozen streams of ethereal divine power surged into the Heavenly Flowing Sail. Clearly, the Universe Venerable who had been watching the Heavenly Flowing Sail all wanted to see him obtain it so easily.

If those three universe lords obtained it, they would naturally have nothing to say. But you are just a minor universe overlord with the same strength as them. Why should you get it?

The thought of this cosmic overlord obtaining a special top-tier treasure filled others with intense jealousy, and naturally, they couldn't let him have his way.

"hateful!"

The cosmic overlord was filled with shock and rage. The feeling of watching the Heavenly Flowing Sail, which was about to be imprinted with his soul, being destroyed just as he was about to succeed was truly ominous.

At this moment, the three universe lords behind him were about to arrive, which meant that he had already lost this extremely rare opportunity!

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more..." This cosmic overlord was still unwilling to give up, his mind clouded by the supreme treasure!

The first to arrive was the Lord of the Black Lotus, a top-tier universe lord. He burned his divine power and blasted this universe overlord into dust with a single blow, completely erasing his divine body!

Furthermore, it also affected several cosmic venerables, causing the deaths of four venerables and one cosmic overlord with a single blow!

call out!

Struck by the burning divine power of a top-tier universe master, Tian Liufan shot out again, at a speed much faster than the Black Lotus Temple.

"Haha, a top-tier treasure is flying towards me!" A cosmic venerable was overjoyed, but before he could obtain the Heavenly Flowing Sail, he was reduced to ashes by a hegemon.

……

"It's a mess, so very messy..."

Zhou Ze looked puzzled and confused.

"These cosmic venerables are truly willing to risk their lives for supreme treasures. Even with a chance that is infinitely close to zero, they still want to try to obtain top-tier supreme treasures."

"That's true. After all, they can all be resurrected. Those who can enter aren't necessarily fearless of death, but rather they can be resurrected even after death..."

Venerable-level powerhouses have the backing of the Lord of the Universe, making it difficult for them to completely perish. Their lifespan is already infinite, unless they are enslaved by their souls or suppressed.

Looking down at the three cosmic lords chasing Tian Liufan, killing gods and Buddhas alike, Zhou Ze couldn't help but have some thoughts.
