The Nine Rivers surged forth, suspended within millions of kilometers of space. Under Luo Feng's supreme divine power acceleration, especially given his current profound mastery of mysteries, engraving the mystic patterns of these mere Nine Rivers was accomplished with ease, fully pushing its power to the absolute limit. A vast, imposing might radiated outward, the pressure incredibly intense. With Luo Feng's life gene level at 9,800 times, a divine power amplitude of 100 times, and the Nine Rivers operating at full capacity— If the 'Nine Strange Beasts' of the Nine Rivers united, they could easily annihilate a Universe Middle Stage Venerable, and even separated, they could severely wound one. Caught within, even a Universe High Stage Venerable would find aerial movement agonizingly slow!
"Ultimate Treasure!!!"
"It's a Domain Type Ultimate Treasure!"
"That human Luo Feng was hiding his strength, concealing the might of this Domain Type Ultimate Treasure." Venerable Ji Qi immediately transmitted to Venerable Zhuka, who was very close. Venerable Zhuka, with his four hooves, strained to move towards Venerable Ji Qi but felt his flight speed inexplicably slow, anxiously transmitting back, "Why did that human Luo Feng hide the power of the Domain Type Ultimate Treasure? If he had released it earlier, he could have easily escaped us—what is his objective!"
Both Venerable Ji Qi and the four-hooved alien felt a surge of panic. The sudden surge in the Nine Rivers' power alerted them that something was terribly wrong!
"It's a trap!"
"It must be a trap! We need to leave this domain immediately. Our flight speed here is ridiculously slow; if a powerful enemy appears, they can pick us off one by one."
"Quick."
"Hurry!"
Though without absolute certainty, when adventuring on a place like the Primitive Planet, these alien Venerables were inherently cautious. Before, their eyes had been clouded by greed upon seeing 'Human Luo Feng,' but now that things felt wrong, even though some of the thirteen alien Venerables still harbored reluctance or avarice, hoping to find the human within, the majority decided... to flee at once!
At the center of the Nine Rivers, Luo Feng stood silently, his wings spread. He was perfectly aware of the movements of all thirteen alien Venerables trapped within.
"Starting to panic?"
"Their caution is indeed high. Too late, unfortunately." Luo Feng's fingers lightly gripped the hilt of the saber on his back and drew it. The icy blade met no resistance in the waters of the Nine Rivers; instead, it moved as if swimming in its natural habitat, because... this was Luo Feng's domain.
Boom!
Beside him, a Jin Jiao Beast, entirely black, also floated.
"The Jin Jiao Beast clone will slaughter on the periphery, and I will kill within. We must... not let a single one escape." Luo Feng whispered, "Beast God Transformation!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Luo Feng and the Jin Jiao Beast transformed simultaneously. The four hooves of the Jin Jiao Beast became thicker, and its head began to change. Apart from the two wings, it looked almost like a true Beast God. Human Luo Feng also underwent changes... his divine body grew slightly taller, faint scales appeared beneath his skin, and his eyes subtly shifted to a dark gold hue. Although the divine power amplitude had already reached the hundredfold limit, in the Beast God Transformation state... he could utilize the 'Heart of the Beast God' more freely to unleash slaughter.
"Slaughter!"
"Begin!"
Luo Feng moved, charging directly toward the strongest among those trapped in the Nine Rivers—the Universe Hegemon, Venerable Zhong Zhan. Venerable Zhong Zhan was the calmest among this group trapped in the Nine Rivers. Though not originating from the Bug Clan Alliance, he held an extremely high status due to his sheer power. He excelled in close combat and possessed formidable might; his soul defense was naturally very strong. His only weakness was his small divine body—he was only 0.8 meters tall! Therefore, he placed great importance on divine body defense, and his most prized possession was the High-Grade Ultimate Treasure Armor he wore.
"Fallen into the trap!" The moment Venerable Zhong Zhan felt the power of the Nine Rivers surge, he instantly understood, "It's a trap!"
"Intentionally using this human Luo Feng as bait to draw the aliens closer. There must be existences like Universe Hegemons hidden in that human Luo Feng's universe ring... This is bad for me; I must leave immediately!" Venerable Zhong Zhan, wielding his massive great saber, directly carved a path through the heavy obstructions, flying forward. His speed was the fastest!
"Hmm?" Venerable Zhong Zhan frowned slightly, sensing the other aliens closing in. Although he felt things were unfavorable, he wasn't truly afraid... He didn't believe a Universe Master was hiding in Luo Feng's universe ring. If it wasn't a Universe Master, then ordinary Universe Hegemons posed little threat to him. "The Human Race's most terrifying Universe Hegemon, Palace Master Tian Yi, perpetually lurks deep within the Human Race's secret realms and rarely appears." "Nor have I heard that Star Prison Demon Lord is on the Primitive Planet. Except for those top two or three most heaven-defying Universe Hegemons, the Human Race's Universe Hegemons are not worth worrying about." Venerable Zhong Zhan’s thoughts flashed by. A golden light, beautiful enough to shake Venerable Zhong Zhan's soul, flared into existence... This golden saber light sliced through the waters of the Nine Rivers, appearing slow yet arriving before Venerable Zhong Zhan with irresistible force. His eyes widened in shock and rage, and he exerted his ultimate technique, Judgment of Fate!
Peng!
The great saber was instantly sent flying, tumbling in the golden river water.
Icy!
Sharp!
Poignant!
This golden saber light, with almost no reduction in momentum, cleaved directly into Venerable Zhong Zhan's divine body. Terror filled his heart: "What... what is this saber? This strike... this is far more terrifying than any Universe Hegemon I have encountered in my long years!" The strike was beautiful to the point of shock... perfectly representing the ultimate limit of a Dao! The ultimate limit of an Order!
"Peng~~~" With that single strike, the power reached the maximum limit of his High-Grade Ultimate Treasure Armor, causing the armor—which could normally reduce impact by one ten-thousandth—to only lessen the attack's force to nearly one-thousandth! In an instant. Venerable Zhong Zhan’s divine body sustained 62% damage, horrifying the Venerable who had narrowly escaped death under that blow. "Even with my High-Grade Ultimate Treasure Armor, half my divine body is gone. This is bad!" Venerable Zhong Zhan understood that the next strike would surely kill him, and at that moment, the poignant golden saber light flared again.
"Flee!!!" Venerable Zhong Zhan transmitted his panic through divine power, a desperate cry echoing outward! Swoosh! Under the saber light, Venerable Zhong Zhan's small, dwarf-like divine body was instantly annihilated, leaving behind only an exquisitely beautiful Ultimate Treasure Armor emitting a faint purple glow floating in the air. His universe ring and great saber had already been flung far away.
"Two strikes to kill him. It seems that even against Universe Hegemons equipped with High-Grade Ultimate Treasure Armor, they can withstand my ultimate technique under my Universe Master's profound mystery... And this one had a small divine body. If his body were as large as the Jin Jiao Beast, I might swing ten thousand strikes and still fail to kill him," Luo Feng quickly recognized his own weakness. His saber was already extremely powerful, but it had only just exceeded the limit of the High-Grade Ultimate Treasure Armor. Such armor still offered formidable defense to the enemy.
"Oh? Panicked?"
The saber swept, the wings flapped, tracing an arc as it lunged toward another Universe High Stage Venerable. Indeed, they were panicked! The strongest of the thirteen alien Venerables trapped in the Nine Rivers, Venerable Zhong Zhan, after enduring one blow and knowing escape was impossible, had let out that piercing transmission, driving the already anxious alien Venerables into a frenzy.
"Run!"
"It's a trap!!!"
"Even Venerable Zhong Zhan couldn't block it, hurry, run!"
"Ah!"
"It's a strange beast... Ah!" Piercing screams traveled through the medium of divine power within the Nine Rivers.
"Boom!" The residual shockwave of the battle boomed. Compared to the cold, decisive efficiency of Luo Feng’s saber work, the Jin Jiao Beast was more savage, more unstoppable! "Roar~~~" Accompanied by intermittent roars, the ferocious black Beast God, the Jin Jiao Beast, executed a near-instantaneous low-head collision at high speed. The longest horn on its head struck Venerable Ji Qi fiercely. Venerable Ji Qi’s eyes widened in terror, then—Peng~~~—his divine body was completely annihilated. Equipped with only a Top-Grade Heavy Treasure Armor, he offered no resistance to the Jin Jiao Beast's attack.
"It's a trap!"
"That human Luo Feng was bait, there's a powerful Universe Hegemon! Far stronger than Venerable Zhong Zhan! He is slaughtering us, quickly..."
"Damn human!!!" Screams of desperation, madness, and unwillingness echoed through the domain. But Luo Feng, having undergone Beast God Transformation and gripping his great saber, flew coldly through the golden river, then strode toward one Venerable after another, raising his saber... Under the poignant golden saber light, Universe High Stage Venerables fell one after another. Most aliens, lacking even ordinary Treasure Armor, were utterly defenseless against Luo Feng.
Luo Feng attacked from the center outwards! The Jin Jiao Beast attacked from the outermost perimeter inwards, ensuring that no alien Universe Venerable could escape... Considering that the speeds of these Universe High Stage Venerables were already ridiculously slow within the Nine Rivers, and the only one capable of high-speed flight, Venerable Zhong Zhan, was the first to be eliminated, these aliens had lost all hope. The number of alien Venerables trapped in the Nine Rivers rapidly dwindled: 8, 6, 3, 2, 1...
Outside the surging Nine Rivers. The commotion from the earlier battle involving five Universe Venerables pursuing Luo Feng had attracted other groups of alien Venerables from slightly further distances. A total of six groups of alien Venerables were watching from afar near the Nine Rivers—a total of fifteen individuals, including one Universe Hegemon.
"Trap!"
"Bait!"
"Run!" Desperate warnings, transmitted via divine power, spread far and wide, chilling the hearts of the six distant groups totaling fifteen alien Venerables. They watched from a distance. But the dense waters of the Nine Rivers obscured their vision, though they could sense the activity within. Initially, there were bursts of powerful energy, then shrill screams, and roars of unwilling fury: "Human Luo Feng! Bait!" "It's a trap!" "Universe Hegemon!"... But in just a moment, absolute silence descended. A dead silence. The six groups of alien Venerables watching from afar felt their blood run cold; they understood... all the alien Venerables trapped inside were dead.
"Splash, splash, splash~~~" The Nine Rivers gradually calmed. In the center of the golden river, a figure emerged on the surface. With a saber on his back and wings spanning behind him, his black hair catching the light, he swept his gaze towards the six groups of alien Venerables millions of kilometers away. For a long moment... not a single alien Venerable uttered a sound.
