The Emperor Yan watched the scene unfolding hundreds of light-years away... everything was precisely within his grasp. Luo Feng observed the massive vortex of sand grains around him, a structure nearly a hundred kilometers high and incredibly dense. Though each individual grain possessed negligible power, their convergence generated a crushing pressure that made Luo Feng feel on the verge of being pulverized.
"Mo Sha Clan avatar," Luo Feng said, gripping a small stone in his left hand.
Whoosh!
The stone vanished instantly.
"Rumble~~" The endless sand vortex instantly swept over Luo Feng, crushing him into fragments before grinding him into nothingness by the relentless particles.
"Human Xi He is dead, dead! His supreme treasure is mine!" Far away, the Venerable Ma Sha trembled with exhilarating anticipation, sensing the supreme treasure within the boundless sand. He had never imagined... obtaining a supreme treasure could be this effortless. At least six supreme treasures, acquired so easily—it was incredible. "Ah!"
"Where is my supreme treasure? Where is it?!" The Venerable Ma Sha suddenly let out a high-pitched, furious roar. Despite the exhaustive search by his countless sand grains, not a single supreme treasure could be found.
Swish!
A figure of a youth in golden armor appeared in the distance.
"Luo Feng!"
"King Daohe, Jie Feng."
"He's there!" The Cult Leader Xie Yi and the Sage Ni Wa spotted him instantly. "He was just besieged by the endless sand, how did he suddenly appear ten thousand kilometers away? Is it teleportation? But within the space confinement field, teleportation is impossible!"
"Human Daohe!" The Venerable Ma Sha stared at Luo Feng in the distance, disbelief etched on his face; the man hadn't died.
"Die," the Venerable Ma Sha growled low.
The surrounding endless sand grains pressed down violently toward Luo Feng.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng vanished as if absorbed into the air, reappearing ten thousand kilometers further away in an instant.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Luo Feng flickered frantically, covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
"It's not teleportation; it's a innate divine ability."
"It's the spatial innate divine ability, 'Domain,'" the Sage Ni Wa frowned slightly.
"Troublesome," the Cult Leader Xie Yi coiled his body, spreading his wings, but then turned to look at the enraged Venerable Ma Sha behind him, sneering, "Old Ni Wa, the one most disappointed among the three of us is probably Venerable Ma Sha. He possesses a domain-type supreme treasure but still let Luo Feng escape... With this innate divine ability, Luo Feng can flee from almost anyone below the level of a Universe Master. Only a very few Universe Overlords could prevent his escape."
"Indeed," the Sage Ni Wa nodded.
The Domain involved first merging with space, then transforming the physical body. No matter how Venerable Ma Sha manipulated his supreme treasure to attack, once Luo Feng merged into the space, he could easily evade it. Of course, if he encountered a Universe Master, the Master could completely control a region of space and time! Everything within that controlled space would be manipulated; even if merged into space, one could be forcibly ejected. However, Venerable Ma Sha, Sage Ni Wa, and Cult Leader Xie Yi were incapable of this.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!" Watching Luo Feng escape with no means to stop him, Venerable Ma Sha felt utterly helpless against the innate ability 'Domain,' roaring in fury. Meanwhile, the Sage Ni Wa and the Cult Leader Xie Yi watched the spectacle with detached interest.
"Neither of you got anything, so what are you gloating about?" Venerable Ma Sha snapped.
"Venerable Ma Sha, you are also a Universe Overlord; look how uncontrolled you are," the Sage Ni Wa smiled gently. "Neither the Cult Leader Xie Yi nor I are gloating. We merely pursued King Daohe Luo Feng together. Both Xie Yi and I believed you had the best chance of obtaining the treasures, so we didn't hold high hopes initially; naturally, we wouldn't be disappointed by failure. But you are different... the supreme treasures were practically in hand, and then this King Daohe Luo Feng revealed this trick, and the treasures slipped away again! That suffering, hahaha, we can easily imagine it."
"Hahahaha..." The Cult Leader Xie Yi also let out a deep, resonant laugh.
"Let's go," the Cult Leader Xie Yi said. "Old Ni Wa."
The Sage Ni Wa nodded with a smile, and immediately, he and the Cult Leader Xie Yi accelerated to light speed, entering the Dark Universe and departing.
"Damn it, bastard, idiot, ahhhhhh~~~" Venerable Ma Sha's handsome features were contorted in rage. Though a Universe Overlord, it didn't mean he couldn't feel anger; it just meant very few things could provoke it. This time, he had anticipated obtaining at least six supreme treasures, including soul-type and flying palace-type artifacts, only for it to vanish suddenly. This reversal caused Venerable Ma Sha immense pain and rage.
"Daohe!"
Venerable Ma Sha roared through gritted teeth, before also entering the Dark Universe to leave.
Inside the main hall of the void palace cluster surrounding the three continents of the Yan God Clan, Venerable Ba Feng remained cautiously silent, sensing the Emperor Yan’s building fury.
The Emperor Yan watched the void coldly. The void rippled, displaying a scene where Luo Feng, utilizing his innate divine ability 'Domain,' was moving forward repeatedly.
"Very good, my Third Junior Brother... I truly underestimated you," the Emperor Yan mused inwardly, watching the scene with icy detachment.
"Emperor Yan, what should be done now?" Venerable Ba Feng dared to speak only after sensing the Emperor Yan's aura stabilize.
"Do you have a way to kill him?" the Emperor Yan looked toward Venerable Ba Feng.
"If he continues to flee, I cannot stop him," Venerable Ba Feng shook his head. "This is the innate divine ability 'Domain,' possessed only by certain special life forms extremely adept at concealment and escape. It is rumored that very few within the Mo Sha Clan also possess this capability. Although such beings usually have mediocre combat strength, their survival ability is exceptionally high."
"Wait," the Emperor Yan watched the void coldly. "Other powerful beings from various races are arriving one after another—Universe Overlords, High Venerables. Perhaps one of them can finally intercept this Human King Daohe."
Venerable Ba Feng listened obediently, yet inwardly he felt doubt: "Is it necessary for Emperor Yan to be so obsessed with killing King Daohe Luo Feng? If he truly wanted him dead, couldn't he act himself? If he acted, he could annihilate King Daohe Luo Feng in a mere flick of his hand. Yet, he refrains from acting and keeps watching. Truly strange!"
In the Yan God Secret Realm, after using the innate divine ability 'Domain' for some time, Luo Feng boarded a biological ship to continue his journey.
"Second Senior Brother, you sealed the space and masked the Dark Universe coordinates, so Junior Brother anticipated your strategy," Luo Feng said, holding a wine cup. "That’s why I long ago instructed my servant to take my Golden Horned Beast avatar, and have that avatar carry my many supreme treasures back to Human Territory."
"Earthling main body, Mo Sha Clan avatar, You Hai avatar."
"None of these three carry a single supreme treasure or even a valuable artifact. If I fail, the worst that happens is wasting some energy," Luo Feng scoffed.
Luo Feng was not a fool. Knowing the Emperor Yan would not easily return the Jie Armor, he certainly wouldn't risk artifacts like the 'Tower Bead' or the 'Wu Killing Wings.' After the Golden Horned Beast avatar carried the numerous supreme treasures back to Human Territory, he could face any difficulty with a clear conscience.
Previously, when attacked by Venerable Ma Sha’s domain-type supreme treasure, the Earthling main body was annihilated, but the Mo Sha Clan avatar managed to escape with the World Ring. Hidden within the World Ring was the You Hai avatar, whose divine power allowed the annihilated Earthling main body to be completely restored with ease.
"This time, I have revealed my greatest escape technique: the innate divine ability 'Domain'!" Luo Feng narrowed his eyes. "Teacher City Lord Chaos once said that the 'Domain' technique guarantees escape success against anyone below a Universe Master."
"By revealing 'Domain,' I aim to secure the Jie Armor!"
"The Jie Armor, I must have it!"
Luo Feng looked into the void, guessing that the Emperor Yan was observing his every move.
"If it's mine, it's mine. Even if you want to keep it, you won't succeed!" Luo Feng grinned.
Soon after the first batch of three Universe Overlords, including Cult Leader Xie Yi, arrived, Universe Overlords and High Venerables from various major super-forces rapidly converged on the Yan God Clan territory from distant realms, using methods like God Kingdom Teleportation and instantaneous movement. Their numbers grew continuously.
Since Luo Feng was deep within the space confinement zone, other pursuers simply couldn't catch up.
So... the Emperor Yan shrunk the space confinement zone by nearly another hundred light-years. This was done so that the other pursuers could easily close in on Luo Feng.
"Second Senior Brother, you really are shameless," Luo Feng scoffed inwardly.
Swish!
This time, Luo Feng hesitated not at all. He first teleported directly to the edge of the space confinement zone, then used the innate divine ability 'Domain' to flicker repeatedly, diving deeper into the zone! By the time the fastest alien expert arrived in pursuit, they were still millions of kilometers away from Luo Feng. And the innate divine ability 'Domain' was enough to make the pursuing alien experts give up; once Luo Feng plunged into the depths of the confinement zone, other latecomers didn't even get a chance to try.
"A bunch of trash!"
Wherever the Emperor Yan's gaze fell, the suspended images shattered. At this moment, the Emperor Yan's rage was completely unconcealed, engulfing the entire main hall like a vast ocean of fury. Venerable Ba Feng, standing nearby, was inwardly terrified, unable to fathom why Luo Feng's survival provoked such intense anger from the Emperor Yan.
"You may leave," the Emperor Yan swept a glance at him.
"Yes," Venerable Ba Feng bowed respectfully before stepping into the hazy red light and departing.
"Waste, waste, a group of waste!" It had been a long time since the Emperor Yan was this enraged. His failed scheme against Luo Feng and Luo Feng's imminent acquisition of the Jie Armor fueled his fury.
"Third Junior Brother, you can fly slowly. It will still take you over a hundred years to reach me," the Emperor Yan stated coldly. He had shrunk the space confinement zone twice consecutively. As a supreme Universe Master, this act of repeatedly reducing the confinement zone—something rather base—was only driven by his involvement with Sitting Mountain Guest and the Jie Armor.
"The Primal Star is about to open."
"I will go to the Primal Star and fight first. Perhaps I can acquire a supreme treasure comparable to the Jie Armor," the Emperor Yan thought silently.
But the Emperor Yan knew that the probability was extremely, extremely low. He had experienced many Primal Star openings. Although he had gained considerable treasures, most were ordinary; high-tier supreme treasures were rare, and top-tier supreme treasures had never appeared. Of course, through exploration and ruthless struggle in other areas, he had painstakingly prepared a top-tier supreme treasure armor as a backup.
But treasures are meant to be compared. That top-tier supreme treasure armor, when measured against the Jie Armor... they were on entirely different levels.
"Hmph."
The Emperor Yan sat on his throne, staring into the boundless void, then closed his eyes to await the opening of the Primal Star. He had no recourse against Luo Feng; after all, the deterrent posed by Sitting Mountain Guest prevented him from going too far.
