For the next few years, the Time-Space Supreme became Qin Hanchu's master.
Every day, Qin Hanchu would seek guidance from the Time-Space Supreme on the profound mysteries of time-space laws.
The Time-Space Supreme kept her promise, divulging all her understanding of the time-space laws.
At this point, Qin Hanchu was standing on the shoulders of a giant. In just five years, he managed to fuse time and space.
With the fusion of these two laws, Qin Hanchu acquired his second Supreme Law.
On this particular morning, the Karma Supreme finally arrived.
Standing in the void, he frowned as he gazed at the Ancient Secret Realm where Qin Hanchu resided.
"The Golden Dragon Supreme's Grotto-Heaven?"
"Why is he here?"
The Karma Supreme did not immediately enter the Ancient Secret Realm. Instead, he stood in the void and activated his karma divine ability.
As a Supreme Law, the law of karma naturally possessed miraculous abilities.
Upon unleashing his karma divine ability, the Karma Supreme foresaw the outcome of entering the Ancient Secret Realm.
"How can this be? If I enter, I will face a life-or-death choice!"
"Even if the Golden Dragon Supreme intervenes, he shouldn't be able to threaten my life."
Although the Karma Supreme could foresee his fate, he could not discern the details.
After all, both Qin Hanchu and the Golden Dragon Supreme were possessors of Supreme Laws.
"Karma Supreme, you've tracked me here as well."
Just as the Karma Supreme was agonizing over whether to take the risk, ripples suddenly appeared in the void.
Following that, the Time-Space Supreme emerged from within.
"Why are you here?"
Upon seeing the Time-Space Supreme, the Karma Supreme's gaze held a hint of surprise.
He had assumed only he knew that the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe was in Qin Hanchu's possession.
"I have my ways," the Time-Space Supreme replied first, then her gaze fell upon the Ancient Secret Realm before her. "The Golden Dragon Supreme's Grotto-Heaven? Why are they here? Have they been captured by the Golden Dragon Supreme?"
"It's likely not just the Golden Dragon Supreme."
The Karma Supreme was unwilling to give up.
Since it was dangerous for him to go alone, why not join forces with the Time-Space Supreme?
With two Supreme Immortals and Gods entering together, they could retreat safely even if danger arose.
"What do you mean?" the Time-Space Supreme frowned. "Have you deduced something?"
The Karma Supreme did not conceal anything and stated directly, "If I enter alone, my life will be in danger. A single Golden Dragon Supreme is not qualified to threaten my life."
The Time-Space Supreme's eyes widened in shock. "Could there be other Supreme Beast Gods hidden within?"
The Karma Supreme nodded. "Very likely."
"We absolutely cannot let the Supreme Beast Gods obtain the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe," the Time-Space Supreme declared resolutely. "If they get their hands on the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, we will never achieve transcendence."
"That is my thinking as well," the Karma Supreme nodded. "It seems we have a common goal."
The Time-Space Supreme pondered and said, "Let's first work together to retrieve the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, and then we can each rely on our own abilities."
The Karma Supreme nodded. "Agreed."
"If there is danger, leave immediately. Do not engage in prolonged combat," the Time-Space Supreme stated gravely.
"Yes, let's go in and see."
Both the Karma Supreme and the Time-Space Supreme had their own hidden agendas, so neither of them mentioned the matter of the Dao Oath Contract.
Under the guidance of the Karma Supreme, the two of them entered the Ancient Secret Realm of the Golden Dragon Supreme together.
"How is there a human sect here?"
"What is the Golden Dragon Supreme's game? Does he not know the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe is with this kid?"
The Karma Supreme's spiritual sense immediately locked onto the location of the Shenzhou Immortal Sect.
Seeing so many human Immortals and Gods, the Karma Supreme's confusion deepened.
"Could the Golden Dragon Supreme have been bewitched by that kid?" the Time-Space Supreme speculated.
"We'll play it by ear," the Karma Supreme said, having already sensed the Golden Dragon Supreme's spiritual presence. He knew he had been exposed.
The Time-Space Supreme nodded. "Be careful. If there's irresistible danger, I'll leave immediately. I won't risk my life for you."
"That's truly your style," the Karma Supreme said in a low voice.
Roar…
A dragon's roar echoed, and the Golden Dragon Supreme flew out from the white clouds.
"Human Supremes, why have you come to my domain?" the Golden Dragon Supreme questioned coldly, its feet treading on auspicious clouds.
The Karma Supreme looked towards the direction of the Shenzhou Immortal Sect and answered his question indirectly, "Golden Dragon Supreme, since when have you been so friendly with us humans? Allowing humans to establish a sect in your Grotto-Heaven."
"What business is that of yours?" the Golden Dragon Supreme roared. "Why are you here? You know very well I have no good impression of you human Supremes."
"Two human Immortals and Gods stole my belongings, and they are here with you."
"If you hand them over to me, we will leave immediately."
With a wave of his hand, the Karma Supreme's conjured images of Qin Hanchu and Axiang appeared in the air.
The Golden Dragon Supreme glanced at them and sneered, "You are a human Supreme, and your belongings were stolen by these two?"
"They stole it while I was away from my Grotto-Heaven," the Karma Supreme replied immediately.
"Very well, I will summon them to confront you." The Golden Dragon Supreme cast a wary glance at the Time-Space Supreme, then continued, "If they truly stole your belongings, I will hand them over to you."
"That would be excellent. We have no desire to be your enemy," the Karma Supreme said. He felt something was amiss, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
A moment later, Qin Hanchu and Axiang arrived before the Karma Supreme.
"Karma Supreme, was it you who helped Long Yunzi and his wife pursue me before?" Upon seeing the Karma Supreme, Qin Hanchu's first question was about the pursuit by Long Yunzi and his wife.
The Karma Supreme was not surprised. It was normal for Qin Hanchu to suspect him. He nodded, "It was merely a transaction."
"This play should end now. Let's talk about business!" Qin Hanchu did not continue that topic, instead saying something that baffled the Karma Supreme.
"Play? What play?"
The Karma Supreme's heart suddenly became uneasy.
"Karma Supreme, I apologize," the Time-Space Supreme said, directly sealing off the surrounding time-space, thus cutting off the Karma Supreme's escape route.
The Time-Space Supreme's words and actions startled the Karma Supreme. "Time-Space Supreme, you are in league with them!"
"The Time-Space Supreme is the guide I sent to welcome you," Qin Hanchu said with a smile. "You are too indecisive. Since you've already arrived at the doorstep, why are you still hesitating?"
"You sent the Time-Space Supreme?" The Karma Supreme looked at the Time-Space Supreme in shock and asked incredulously, "You have submitted to him?"
The Time-Space Supreme nodded. "Not only me, but the Golden Dragon Supreme has also submitted to him."
The Karma Supreme looked at Qin Hanchu in disbelief, never imagining that both the Time-Space Supreme and the Golden Dragon Supreme had been subdued by Qin Hanchu.
"I have cultivated divine power. Supreme Immortals and Gods are nothing more than lambs waiting to be slaughtered before me."
"If you submit to me now, I can pass on the divine power cultivation method to you later."
"But if you insist on opposing me, I can only ensure your demise."
Qin Hanchu laid all his cards on the table, giving the Karma Supreme a choice.
