Number 02881 Primal Chaos Planet—the instant the Golden Horned Beast chased Venerable Tianyang into that spatial vortex, a figure shrouded in black mist materialized, suspended in mid-air.

"I saw correctly."

"Venerable Tianyang definitely flew into this spatial vortex." The figure in the black mist nodded secretly. Venerable Tianyang's high-speed flight while being pursued by the Golden Horned Beast had rendered him a streak of light across the sky, conspicuous enough to be silently observed by this alien Venerable cloaked in darkness.

"Fortress Master Fan Nuo placed a bounty on information about Venerable Tianyang within the Alliance. I never expected to find him first. Heh heh heh..."

His external avatar immediately transmitted the message to Fortress Master Fan Nuo.

Fortress Master Fan Nuo... was a supreme entity within the Ring Assassination Alliance, practically one of the top Cosmic Overlords, a heaven-defying existence comparable to the mightiest World Trees. The reason he was called Fortress Master was due to possessing a 'High-Tier Ultimate Treasure Flying Fortress'; hiding within it gave him a high chance of escape even from a Universe Master. One must realize that the Sirius Hall possessed merely a High-Tier Ultimate Treasure flying palace, slightly superior in quality but undeniably belonging to the same tier of ultimate treasures.

"A mere Ordinary Ultimate Treasure?"

"Fortress Master Fan Nuo is indeed generous. Merely tracking him has brought me such a great reward."

The black-misted figure chuckled sinisterly and followed directly into the spatial vortex.

"Hmm?"

The black-misted figure emerged from the spatial vortex into the open air and immediately caught sight of the overwhelming black radiance far in the distance. Though tens of millions of kilometers away, the domain was simply too vast, allowing him to see clearly from afar. This shocked him greatly: "The power seems unusual; it must be a Domain Type Ultimate Treasure!"

The black-misted figure dared not approach, fearful of being trapped within it.

"Rumble~~~" Suddenly, a dazzling golden river surged violently from the distant horizon, battering the endless black light.

It was as if two oceans were crashing against each other.

The black light was continuously forced backward; the power of the golden river was in no way inferior to it. The two great domains collided repeatedly... yet they were clearly evenly matched.

"Another Domain Type Ultimate Treasure?" The black-misted figure was secretly stunned. "Very few Cosmic Overlords possess Domain Type Ultimate Treasures, and now there are two right at the start! It seems two Cosmic Overlords are locked in battle... I wonder if Venerable Tianyang is among them?"

About one hundred million kilometers away from the spatial vortex, within a vast forest, the Golden Horned Beast and Venerable Tianyang faced each other from a distance. Endless tides of black light and endless rivers of gold enveloped the forest, repeatedly smashing into it, destroying and shattering the branches and undergrowth; only the main trunks remained standing.

"Hmph," Venerable Tianyang grew increasingly irate and roared, "Golden Horned Beast, must you fight me to the death?"

Venerable Tianyang actually did not wish to fight. Releasing this Domain Type Ultimate Treasure was intended to drastically reduce the Golden Horned Beast's speed, forcing it to retreat in the face of difficulty. He hadn't expected this Golden Horned Beast to also possess a Domain Type Ultimate Treasure.

"Venerable Tianyang, you should know that escape is impossible for you in this battle." The Golden Horned Beast stared from afar.

"Escape? Why would I escape? Do you think your meager power can harm me? Hmph... I truly don't want to fight you, not because I fear you, but purely because I don't wish to. Battling you holds no appeal... so I used the Domain Type Ultimate Treasure to make you retreat. I thought my luck was quite good, but I never imagined you would possess one too." Venerable Tianyang sneered, "It seems you've had some good fortune over these last twenty thousand years."

The Golden Horned Beast stared back from a distance.

Venerable Tianyang said coldly, "It seems a battle is inevitable."

"Indeed," the Golden Horned Beast rumbled low.

"Then come, let's finish this quickly." Venerable Tianyang was completely enraged. Did this Golden Horned Beast truly believe it could overcome him? He had contended with top Cosmic Overlords; who was there to fear?

"Come then!"

The Golden Horned Beast let out a low roar, its entire carapace liquefying to pure black. The central, longest horn, surrounded by five others, shone with unparalleled sharpness.

"Heh heh heh..." Venerable Tianyang, the Mechanical Race Overlord, clutched a black light shuttle in each of his eight arms, watching the Golden Horned Beast coldly.

Boom!

Boom!

Both moved simultaneously. As they charged toward each other, their vast domains crashed together fiercely. The forefront of the endless black light condensed into rolling massive boulders, while before the endless golden river emerged nine alien beasts one after another, desperately colliding to suppress the opposing force.

"Damn Golden Horned Beast! Don't you understand you cannot touch me! And I cannot touch you! Why must you insist on chasing me, you fool!!!" Venerable Tianyang transmitted his divine power, which echoed like thunder in Luo Feng's ears. Simultaneously, the eight black light shuttles transformed into ethereal light.

"Eight!" Venerable Tianyang roared.

"Eight!"

The seemingly saintly Venerable Tianyang's expression became subtly ferocious; he exerted his full strength, intent on severely punishing this stubborn Golden Horned Beast.

"Roar~~~" A faint, almost imperceptible roar seemed to echo right by the ear, or perhaps deep within the mind. This ancient roar, representing the ultimate path of the Beast God Law, made Venerable Tianyang pause slightly. Immediately after, the Golden Horned Beast charged forward, head lowered. With its head down, the longest horn resembled a spear, shimmering with endless, dazzling golden light!

The sharp, cold golden light directly shattered the eight light shuttles.

"Peng!!!"

The Golden Horned Beast lowered its head and slammed its longest horn forward with full force.

"Rumble~~~" The instant Venerable Tianyang was struck, he was completely stunned. The power of this attack was absolutely the strongest he had ever withstood! Even when fleeing from Fortress Master Fan Nuo previously, the attack he endured hadn't been this terrifying.

He did not know.

The Golden Horned Beast’s divine body multiplier was very close to Luo Feng's Earthling true body—10081 times versus approximately 9800 times. Their divine power purity was nearly identical! The offensive secret technique they used was the Universe Master's ultimate secret technique, 'Golden Light.' The only difference was... the Earthling true body used the High-Tier Ultimate Treasure weapon, the Soul-Slaying Blade!

Whereas the Golden Horned Beast utilized a Top-Tier Ultimate Treasure set, the 'Beast God Armor,' whose value rivaled a Peak Ultimate Treasure, focusing its might on its sharpest horn!

The power was vastly superior!

Venerable Tianyang was sent flying backward. He was horrified to discover that his divine body had instantly lost 22% of its integrity.

"How is this possible? No, impossible!" Venerable Tianyang could not believe it.

"It's a High-Tier Ultimate Treasure Armor!" Luo Feng was also secretly amazed. Venerable Tianyang's divine body wasn't particularly large, only a little over eight meters tall. If the Golden Horned Beast attacked him using the Top-Tier Ultimate Treasure set, the Beast God Armor, a normal ultimate treasure armor would have meant certain death. Luo Feng could easily sense the resistance of the treasure armor just now.

He estimated the reduction in damage went from the usual one ten-thousandth down to one percent! This absolutely had to be High-Tier Ultimate Treasure Armor!

"If it were a small divine body like Venerable Zhong Zhan, even with High-Tier Ultimate Treasure Armor, an attack from the Golden Horned Beast would result in instant annihilation. However, Venerable Tianyang's divine body is much larger," Luo Feng mused.

"High-Tier Ultimate Treasure Armor?" The Golden Horned Beast growled, "It seems you prepared this new armor for this Primal Chaos Planet passage opening."

Venerable Tianyang stared at the Golden Horned Beast, a mixture of shock and fury in his eyes. He couldn't fathom it... Indeed, intelligence circulating in the universe suggested he used an Ordinary Ultimate Treasure Armor, but that was outdated. This time, he had indeed exchanged with his race for a High-Tier Ultimate Treasure Armor to enter the Primal Chaos Planet.

Last time, the Golden Horned Beast's attack power was weaker; there was no discernible difference between Ordinary and High-Tier Ultimate Treasure Armor.

This time... the Golden Horned Beast clearly felt the difference.

"You—how could you?" Venerable Tianyang stared in rage at the Golden Horned Beast. "How is this possible? You were clearly much weaker than me back then, but..."

"Stop asking why. Once you're dead, there's no need for further questions."

The Golden Horned Beast immediately charged again.

"You want to kill me?"

Venerable Tianyang roared in fury, "In your dreams!"

Flee!

Venerable Tianyang manipulated the tide of endless black light to defend against the Golden Horned Beast, beating his wings rapidly to escape at top speed!

The Golden Horned Beast, utilizing the 'Nine Fierce River' surrounding it, plunged directly into the endless tide of black light to continue the pursuit.

"Roar~~~" Intricate golden secret patterns flowed across the Golden Horned Beast's body. It turned itself directly into a weapon, unleashing the Golden Light, causing its speed to surge instantly, transforming into a straight line as it lunged toward Venerable Tianyang.

"What!" Venerable Tianyang was startled and quickly changed direction—his greatest specialty was agile maneuvering.

"I'm good at that too," the Golden Horned Beast flapped its wings and kept up the chase.

The two engaged in a chase—one pursuing, the other fleeing!

Both relied on constant course corrections, changing direction dozens of times per second. Yet, while chasing, the Golden Horned Beast was astonished to find that in terms of instantaneous directional change, it was actually inferior to Venerable Tianyang.

"He's getting away. His black feathers share the same origin as my Wu-Slayer Wings. I cultivated in the Secret Technique Diagram stream for 180 million years. After coming out, although I quickly deciphered the method for activating the Nine Fierce River, the Wu-Slayer Wings are significantly more complex; I still cannot unleash the third form," Luo Feng understood. If those black feathers also possessed a third form, the opponent might be using it.

No wonder he couldn't catch up, no matter how hard he tried.

"You can't catch me, give up," Venerable Tianyang transmitted, his heart filled with anxiety. That terrifying 'Golden Light' attack was already incredible; could it not be his strongest move? This Golden Horned Beast, which was clearly weaker than him two decades ago, had become this powerful in less than twenty thousand years.

"Rumble~~~" The Golden Horned Beast's eyes were utterly calm as surging divine power erupted. As a Golden Horned Beast over 90,000 kilometers long, its divine power reserves had not depleted even one ten-thousandth after fighting so far.

But the moment it activated the move 'I Am the Universe,' divine power surged forth...

The endless world was instantly enveloped!

The black-misted figure, which had been tracking cautiously one hundred million kilometers away from the battle site, suddenly looked around. He found everything shrouded in a dim, gray haze, filled with endless chaotic currents.

"What's happening? Heavens, why is it dark?" The black-misted figure stared blankly at his surroundings.
