Humans devour, and the proverb "living off a woman is eternal" holds true.

The man sitting on the mountain pressed on, "So, about the cooperation?"

Lin Hao suddenly revealed a shrewd businessman's smile: "Even between brothers, accounts should be clear! Don't issue empty checks. What substantial benefits can I possibly gain?"

Upon hearing this, the guest sitting on the mountain was completely relieved—it was easy to handle as long as they were willing to negotiate the price!

"I have never been stingy with my investment in those who are worthy of cultivation!"

He regained his composure, stroked his beard, and said, "Look at Luo Feng's Star Tower, Yan Di's Primal Soul, and Yan Shen Halberd; I have bestowed upon them all top-tier treasures. Naturally, I will not be stingy with you!"

"As long as you agree to cooperate, I'll give you a top-tier treasure tailor-made for you as a gift! You can choose the type and style! Isn't that more than enough?"

"Are you taking on an apprentice?"

Lin Hao raised an eyebrow at him, "What happened to the promised partnership?"

"It's a misunderstanding,"

The hermit quickly waved his hand, "I have never helped you grow, how dare I call myself your master? We are merely fellow practitioners, you can just call me 'senior', this small token of respect is not excessive, is it?"

He brought up the origins of the Earth.

Lin Hao thought about it and agreed with this statement.

"A common peak-level treasure?"

Lin Hao curled his lip, "Trying to get rid of a kid? No use!"

"Uh..." The Mountain-Sitting Guest choked for a moment, then said with pride, "My skill in crafting weapons is unparalleled in the primordial universe. What I forge for you will surely be the most perfect piece to suit your taste!"

"I have no interest in regular goods."

Lin Hao stroked his chin, as if he had "thought deeply" about it, and suddenly made an outrageous demand, "A supreme treasure of the domain type, and it can't be one of those cheap, mass-produced items... Can you handle that?"

The terms "true god" and above could not be spoken in the primordial universe, but he believed the old fox could understand them.

"puff--"

Even someone like the Mountain Dweller, who had lived through countless reincarnations, was nearly choked by Lin Hao's casual request.

The wine he had just tasted almost spilled from his lips, but he forced himself to swallow it down to avoid losing his composure.

Those deep, penetrating eyes, which seemed to pierce through time and space, widened in front of Lin Hao for the first time, filled with indescribable shock and speechless disbelief that "you really dare to dream big."

The long, snow-white beard hanging down his forehead seemed to be stirred by an invisible current, fluttering slightly.

"The most... the most powerful treasure? Or a domain-type treasure? It can't be the most basic one?"

The voice of the Mountain-Sitting Guest cracked slightly, then turned into a suppressed, indignant, and somewhat ridiculous laugh: "Little fellow, do you know what the word 'Supreme Power' means in the Primordial Universe? It's the ultimate treasure that even the most elite beings in the Cosmic Sea would covet and struggle to obtain in their entire lives!"

He raised his withered finger and pointed it at Lin Hao from afar. "In this primordial universe, many things are suppressed by the primordial will and cannot be spoken! The 'supreme' treasure you want? This is not a question of difficulty... Do you think I have enough materials? Or do you think I can carry around a few of these kinds of things and wait to give them away?"

Lin Hao, however, maintained his "I was just asking casually" expression, shrugging his shoulders. "See, you said it yourself, that was under the limitations of the original universe. Since we're talking about the future 'after reincarnation,' we should aim higher. I didn't say it had to be right now. If you think there's no hope... then I can give you a promise as an IOU, okay?"

"What a brilliant idea to raise the price! What a brilliant promise IOU!"

Sitting Mountain Guest was almost amused by Lin Hao's shameless attitude; how could this kid be so thick-skinned?

He took a deep breath, suppressing the emotional turmoil caused by the absurdity he had just experienced.

"That's it!"

The Mountain-Sitting Guest waved his sleeve heavily, "You're the kind of guy who won't act until he sees the benefit. You look down on ordinary treasures, and I don't have the 'ultimate' item you're talking about for the time being."

His gaze sharpened as he refocused on Lin Hao, saying each word clearly, "My promise is worth more than ten million top-tier treasures! However, to show my sincerity, and to prevent you from thinking I'm trying to get something for nothing..."

The mountain dweller pondered for a moment, then gathered starlight at his fingertips, instantly condensing it into a single, incomparably dazzling point of light, seemingly containing the infinite cycle of birth and death of the universe.

The point of light drifted silently toward Lin Hao.

"These are my impressions of the Cosmic Sea, ancient ruins, and many dangerous and hidden forbidden zones. Among them, several perilous places that even the strongest in the universe would face near death, as well as various clues, are marked in detail! For some places, knowing of their existence is an opportunity in itself, and also a guide for the future. Consider this my 'deposit,' as paving the way for your future journey into the Cosmic Sea."

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Hao sent the starlight into his palm, where it instantly merged with his consciousness. A vast amount of complex yet exquisitely refined information fragments poured into his mind like a galaxy flowing backward, causing his eyes to light up instantly.

In some ways, this map is more valuable than a top-tier treasure!

Although he had not yet seen the diagram with the pits, his intuition told him that this map was broader and more valuable!

As expected of the Mountain Dweller!

"So? Does this 'deposit' meet your standards, Lord of the Yellow Heaven?"

Seeing the glint in Lin Hao's eyes, the Mountain Guest knew that this appetizer had been the right thing to do, and his tone returned to its leisurely manner.

"You're very generous, senior. It's been a pleasure working with you!"

Lin Hao finally smiled with genuine joy and raised his glass to the guest sitting on the mountain.

Chapter 144 Divine Armor Appears! A Head-on Clash with the Lord of the Universe!

With the protection of the True God Armor, Lin Hao is not worried about offense or defense for the time being.

Aside from the supreme treasures of the domain type that can control the entire battlefield, which make his eyes light up, other types of supreme treasures? They don't really have much appeal.

He acquired an ultimate treasure of a certain domain, combined with his ridiculously overpowered talent...

Just thinking about that scene is exhilarating!

A peak match between the strongest players in the universe?

They can still come and go as they please!

Even without utilizing the special environment of the Star Tower, one can attempt to replicate the operation that led to the death of the True Demon God!

Even if it's just a little bit off—we can still fight or retreat whenever we want!

"I have shown you all my sincerity,"

The Mountain-Sitting Guest's voice carried a hint of urging laughter, "Lord of the Yellow Heaven, you also have to give me some 'deposit of sincerity,' right?"

"Please do not hesitate to give me any orders, senior!"

Lin Hao patted his chest and agreed quite readily.

"Ah."

The mountain dweller was quite pleased with Lin Hao's attitude.

He cast his gaze in a certain direction in the void and said calmly, "Two 'guests' have arrived. They're quite strong."

"Oh?"

Lin Hao turned his head upon hearing the sound.

In the outermost starry sky of the Yan Mystic Realm, two terrifying auras that distorted the starry sky descended almost simultaneously!

Just by the overwhelming pressure emanating from him, one can tell that he is definitely a formidable opponent among the Lords of the Universe!

These two newly arrived super beings exchanged a fleeting glance and nodded almost imperceptibly.

With a swift movement, he tore through space and instantly teleported into the depths of the Yan Mystic Realm.

"This aggressive stance, is it aimed at your precious disciple Luo Feng?"

A smile of amusement crept onto Lin Hao's lips.

"Just shield me from this attack and protect Luo Feng, is that alright?"

The mountain dweller stroked his beard and laughed, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"There absolutely must be no problem!"

Lin Hao nodded, "Even if you don't say anything, I won't stand by and watch them harm my brother right in front of me!"

The Mountain-Sitting Guest nodded in satisfaction and casually flicked out an ancient-looking metal token to Lin Hao: "A communication token. You can use it once you refine it. As for the treasure you want, the difficulty lies in the lack of a few rare main ingredients. Once you gather them all and refine it, I will use this thing to notify you to pick it up."

He stood up and said, "I'll leave this little trouble to you. I'll take my leave now."

Swish!

The figure vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Ai Chen and Qian Shui, who were chatting and laughing quietly nearby, were completely unaware of what had just happened; everything remained as normal.

The methods of the God-King are silent and terrifying!

Moreover, this is only a divine power clone of the Mountain-Sitting Guest!

Lin Hao looked in the direction where the Mountain-Sitting Guest had disappeared and stroked his chin.

"This old guy... he's got some skills."

……

Emperor Yan, who sat high on the throne in the palace, naturally sensed the two terrifying auras that were not concealed and had intruded into his own secret lair immediately!

His vision pierced through layers of spatial barriers: "The Lord of Tongling of the Demon Clan Alliance... and the Lord of Banff of the Zerg Clan Alliance, who is skilled at bewitching people."

"Finally here!"

A cold smile of triumph crept across Yan Di's lips.

His gaze met the two descending cosmic lords almost imperceptibly, and they nodded to each other in tacit understanding—no need for words, they understood each other perfectly!

It is unacceptable to admit that the other party is making a move on one's own turf.

But he was willing to lose face in order to protect the armor!

This time, the three clans were truly provoked by Lin Hao's monstrous talent and decided to go all out to eliminate any future troubles!

The goal is to eliminate Luo Feng and prevent the possibility of humanity having a 20th Universe Lord!

As for why there are two?

This is already the most extreme form of targeting. If three or more of these beings were to invade, the Nine Domains Alliance would definitely be furious, and it could easily trigger a large-scale conflict between forces.

Both of them, within the limits that all parties can tolerate.

Neither of them can handle Luo Feng?

No matter how many factions there are, they will only push things into an uncontrollable abyss.

"Hopefully, these two will act quickly and accurately enough to finish off Luo Feng completely."

Yan Di's cold gaze fell upon the small, dilapidated ship crawling at a snail's pace in the distant void.

"Junior brother, don't blame your senior for being unfair,"
