As the five keys were gathered, they quickly merged into one and then turned into a stream of light, flying into the distance.

“It’s not here?” Jiang Ming was surprised.

He thought that after the activation, the Supreme Treasure would unearth right in front of him. Never did he think that it would be totally different.

As Jiang Ming reached out his hands and grabbed mid-air, Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng involuntarily followed him, dashing through the air. Before they could even catch up to the stream of light, they saw the light streak landed on top of a 1,000-meter high mountain, penetrated the mountain, and disappeared out of sight.

Immediately afterwards, the mountain peak trembled. A divine light could be seen at the top of the peak rushing straight up into the sky and exploded. The aura of Supreme Treasure instantly filled up the whole realm with its vast suppressive force.

It didn’t matter if the experts had just arrived at the scene or were around the place all along. All of them were startled as they looked towards the mountain peak. Their shock quickly turned into ecstasy.

“This is the aura of a Supreme Treasure! It can’t be wrong! There’s no doubt about it!”

“My God! A Supreme Treasure is actually unearthed! Hurry up! Let’s go”

“Hopefully Jiang Ming of the Human race isn’t there. If he is, we will end up with misery. Not only will we not reap any benefit from the emergence of the Supreme Treasure, we might even end up dead here!”

“That beast! No! He’s much worse than a beast. Hurry! Hurry! Run!”

Some of the experts started to flee in a hurry. However, they were very slow.

Jiang Ming had already landed on the mountain top.

A ray of golden luminance could be seen right at the very top of the mountain. There was a silhouette within the golden luminance that couldn’t be seen clearly.

Jiang Ming reached out and tried to grab the golden luminance but was instead blocked by it.

“This is because the Supreme Treasure has yet to be fully unearthed.” Zhao Changkong explained, “Brother Jiang, items that are generally in a semi-unearthed state in the Specter Secret Realm cannot be obtained by force.”

As he explained, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he recalled Jiang Ming’s rampant and domineering ways throughout the journey. It didn’t matter if the item had been unearthed or not. All of them were forcefully acquired by him, which really went against common sense.

“You can have a go at it again. If it doesn’t work, then this is probably the specialty of a Supreme Treasure.” Zhao Changkong continued.

Jiang Ming nodded his head.

As he pointed his finger, he evoked the Return of Infinite Law technique, converging three thousand great Daos into one. Although the overall structure of the technique was still quite unpolished, its offensive power was absolutely terrifying. Yet it failed to affect the Supreme Treasure in the slightest.

He also tried attacking with his Saint Soul but the result was the same.

“Big brother, why bother with this?” Jiang Ming raised his head and clasped his hands towards the sky, “Since this is something you are giving me, is there a need for such a test?”

Jiang Ming received no response, and felt slightly embarrassed.

Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng, on the other hand, were confused by his actions.

“Big brother, are you sure you don’t want to give me your response?” Jiang Ming rubbed his hands, and a root of the Chaos World Tree appeared in his palm.

This root of the Chaos World Tree was obviously different when compared with its previous state.

Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng were both puzzled. They had no idea what Jiang Ming intended to do. They wondered whether Jiang Ming was threatening the Specter Secret Realm. Could it be that the Specter Secret Realm had a master? But wasn’t this just pulling on people’s legs?

However, what happened next really caused their expression to change wildly as the golden luminance disappeared.

The golden luminance disappeared, just like that. A small needle tip suddenly flew out of the luminance and landed in front of Jiang Ming.

This was a single needle. A gray needle. It looked somewhat unreal as if it was existing in between the rift of reality and illusionary, giving off a sense of unreality.

When Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng looked at the needle, both of them gasped, and they couldn’t help but tremble.

With a confused face, they looked at Jiang Ming, the divine needle and then looked up into the sky again. They didn’t know what was happening.

Jiang Ming on the other hand, had overwhelming joy on his face. As he kept the divine needle into the Human Path Record, he looked up into the sky and smiled: “Big brother! You’re still the generous one!”

“I recognise you as my big brother!”

“This vast space doesn’t seem useful to you. How about giving it to your younger brother?”

Jiang Ming asked shamelessly.

*Clank…*

A black thunder that contained the power to destroy a whole world streaked across the top of his head.

Jiang Ming’s heart trembled.

The power of that thunder strike was a thousand times stronger than that Return of Infinite Law technique that he just evoked. It had the power to kill him.

“Big brother! You’re quite stingy!” Jiang Ming smiled.

Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng’s faces were further darkened.

The Specter Secret Realm had a master? Or did the universe give birth to its own will? They knew it was still a shocking event no matter what the situation was.

“Brother… Brother Jiang…” Zhao Changkong transmitted his thoughts telepathically with a trembling voice, “What’s going on here?”

“I don’t know either!” Jiang Ming hesitated a little and continued, “But…”

He pointed above his head into the sky. “This realm should have a master. I’m not sure, but since it bears no hostility to us, that’s enough.”

“That’s enough! Yes, that’s enough!” Zhao Changkong felt chills down his spine.

It would be alright if the Specter Secret Realm had a master. The master would be just a peerless expert of unimaginable power, after all. Nevertheless, if the origin of the universe was to have a consciousness, then he didn’t dare to imagine, and didn’t want to imagine…

Jiang Ming turned around and looked into the distance. He couldn’t help laughing. “Brother Zhao, the foreign clans are here. I will take the two of you to the bottom of the mountain first and then I’ll go on another wave of killing spree.”

“You still want to go on a killing spree?” Zhao Changkong grinned.

“Go for it!” said Luo Heng who was already numb from seeing Jiang Ming’s actions. He pitifully said, “However, you need to help with the troubles outside the secret realm later on. Otherwise, I’m too weak to handle them.”

“Relax!” Jiang Ming said with a smile, “Those are not foreign clans, but wealth! Endless wealth!”

Zhao Changkong and Luo Heng were speechless yet again. However, they knew that the two of them were not of such a level at all. They should just listen on and then follow the arrangement of fate, or rather, the arrangement of Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming brought the two of them to the foot of the mountain, placed them in a remote location and sped off into the air.

“The foreign clans are really unlucky!” Luo Heng smiled as he continued, “This time, Jiang Ming is really going to slaughter them until chills run down their spines. Alas the infinite races of the universe. With them being killed here, the strength of all these factions they originate from, will be greatly reduced.”

Zhao Changkong shook his head and said worriedly, “It won’t work. As long as their Supreme Experts are still alive, the death toll of each clan has little impact towards the overall situation. Instead, it will have an adverse effect, and will only lead to the hostility of all clans towards the Human Race. Or rather…”

His expression was solemn, with a hint of bitterness. “These thousands of clans will form an alliance and besiege the Human Race. If that situation were to happen, what can we do? Even Pan Wang won’t be able to deter such a situation. After all, Pan Wang wouldn’t be able to stand against the alliance which has united many powerful Supreme Experts from different clans.”

Luo Heng’s heart sank. He had already thought of this. However, he had confidence in Jiang Ming. Since Jiang Ming has promised to solve the problem, Luo Heng believed that he definitely would be able to do it.

“Brother Jiang should have the means to solve this. No, he surely has the means to do so.” Luo Heng said, “Brother Jiang managed to advance into the Supreme level in such a short period of time. Also, don’t forget…”

He then pointed to the top of his head.

Zhao Changkong was shocked.

In the distance, Jiang Ming had started his hunting trip once again. Every one of them here were treasure troves to him.

Experts with a cultivation base of at least Star Sea level would already have countless great wealth with them already. Coupled with the benefits that they reaped from the Specter Secret Realm here, they were all fat pigs ready to be slaughtered.

Moreover, since he was killing foreign clans, he felt no burden in his heart at all.

“The number of experts gathered here is quite a lot.”

As Jiang Ming scanned through the surroundings, he was greatly delighted. There were just so many great treasures that he had plundered. Even the corpses of these experts Jiang Ming hadcollected and incorporated into his inner world as nutrients.

These were, after all, beasts.

As he turned around and looked in the direction of Luo Heng and Zhao Changkong, he left a clone of himself, and his figure quickly disappeared.

Jiang Ming headed into the Supreme Pagoda and was ready to settle himself down from the plunder.

There was still a great battle that awaits him in the outside world!
