The divine powers of Lord Jiwei, Venerable Thousand Shadows, Venerable Tianhua, and Luo Feng had long since permeated the surroundings of that divine hammer. The moment the blue divine hammer emerged, the divine powers from the four directions attempted to assimilate it as its master. However, just like the previous scramble to claim and suppress the stars, their simultaneous attempt to claim ownership naturally resulted in failure. Marking a life imprint requires a solitary process, one that cannot tolerate interference. "Another scrub!" Venerable Tianhua roared, "Get out, all of you!" "Dream on!" Venerable Thousand Shadows manipulated a thousand illusions to engulf Venerable Tianhua, obstructing his advance. "Break!"

Venerable Tianhua swung the divine hammer, smashing the illusions into dissipation. The scattered illusions were, in fact, a thousand flying daggers as thin as cicada wings—a full thousand pieces! Each flying dagger was inscribed with secret patterns of the Law, and countless strands of Law connected them, making the thousand daggers function as a single entity. Although each individual dagger was merely a heavy treasure, the overlapping might of a thousand converging power levels was enough to rival a high-tier Ultimate Treasure! "Whoosh!" Luo Feng, who had been diving down, instantly split into two figures.

One was the burly figure still wreathed in black flames (the transformation of the Demon Killer Race clone), and the other was Luo Feng himself, having just shattered out of a World Ring. Luo Feng kept tens of thousands of ordinary World Rings prepared, as in true combat, divine power fluctuations made it impossible to guide the World Power. Thus, the quickest way to emerge was by shattering the world contained within the ring. For Luo Feng, merely vibrating his divine power was enough to collapse the heaven and earth, shattering the world instantly. "Rooooaaar..."

Golden torrents surged and swelled, instantly inundating a vast area of the dense forest, transforming that expanse into a roaring golden river. Lords Jiwei, Venerable Thousand Shadows, and Venerable Tianhua, the three of them, naturally encountered strong resistance from this golden river, their speed sharply reduced. Moreover, the nine exotic beasts within the endless golden river surrounded the divine hammer, directly seizing it and flying toward Luo Feng. Silence!

Venerable Tianhua, Lord Jiwei, and Venerable Thousand Shadows, who had been fighting, all halted. The alien Venerables hovering in mid-air stared downward in stunned silence. This scene was utterly unexpected; they had anticipated a bloody battle among the four powerful figures, never imagining that one side possessed a domain-type Ultimate Treasure. "That is..." "The Nine Blight River!" "It's Luo Feng's Nine Blight River!" "The domain-type Ultimate Treasure, the Nine Blight River! Luo Feng has arrived!" The alien Venerables, initially stunned into silence in the air, quickly exploded into shocked chatter, all turning their gaze below. Upon the surging golden river, a black-haired youth, clad in silver armor and with silver wings carrying a battle saber on his back, stood smiling upon the waves. It was the human, Luo Feng! "Luo Feng!" "It's Luo Feng!" Venerable Tianhua, Lord Jiwei, and Venerable Thousand Shadows were all shocked. They couldn't believe that after fighting so fiercely, the spoils were being snatched by the legendary human, Luo Feng!

The waves surged and swelled, the nine exotic beasts circling around, delivering the divine hammer into Luo Feng's hand. Luo Feng reached out and accepted the hammer; as for the Demon Killer Race clone, it had already entered the World Ring. "Your fierce fight... it seems cruel to let you celebrate in vain, but I regret to say, I am taking this Ultimate Treasure." Luo Feng’s divine body naturally repelled all external divine power, easily claiming the hammer as his own before storing it in his World Ring. "Hurry and leave!" "We're going." "It's Luo Feng; if we delay, we're doomed." The alien powerhouses high above quietly and swiftly retreated. Even Venerable Thousand Shadows and Lord Jiwei exchanged a glance. Luo Feng's reputation was simply too immense—he had killed Universe Masters! Several Universe Masters had fallen by Luo Feng’s hand. No treasure was worth more than one's life. The two of them swiftly broke through the waves and fled. Fearsome prestige! This was true renown! The moment Luo Feng appeared, the Universe Venerables, including the two Universe Masters, immediately backed off and avoided conflict. Only the peak Universe Master, Venerable Tianhua, remained in the surging waves of the Nine Blight River, glaring at Luo Feng. "Human Luo Feng, you dare to show yourself on the Primitive Planet!" Venerable Tianhua roared. "Why wouldn't I dare?" Luo Feng stood on the waves, smiling lightly. He had anticipated that the moment he appeared, Venerable Tianhua and the other alien Venerables would instantly notify their respective factions. However, this was all part of his calculation; Luo Feng was fully prepared for this "battle that cemented his fame." "Good, very good."

Venerable Tianhua bent slightly; beneath his snow-white fur, his single blood-red eye grew even more manic. "Those two scoundrels, Lord Jiwei and the other, fear you, but before me, you are merely a joke!" He truly held no fear of Luo Feng; his life level was nearly 2,000 times greater. In his view, even if Luo Feng possessed several thousand times the life gene level, the gap wouldn't be significant. Moreover, His divine body was far larger than Luo Feng's. Even in a pure attrition fight, he held a decisive advantage. "A joke?" Luo Feng lightly grasped the hilt of the Blood Shadow Saber on his back, then drew it out, stroking the blade as he looked down at it. "I have killed Universe Masters... but I have never killed a peak Universe Master! I heard even Universe Masters find it difficult to kill one peak Universe Master. I wish to try." "You... you want to kill me?" Venerable Tianhua's blood-red single eye widened, as if he had just heard the greatest joke. "Yes, I want to kill you," Luo Feng nodded, his voice resounding powerfully, spreading out immediately. The alien Venerables who had already fled beyond the range of the Nine Blight River watched silently from a distance. As long as they maintained sufficient distance from Luo Feng, they were not afraid. Furthermore, seeing that two peak Universe Masters were about to clash, how could they miss such an exciting battle? When they heard Luo Feng's words, the alien Venerables, including Lord Jiwei and Venerable Thousand Shadows, were all astonished. "Haha, what a joke, a total joke... You killed a few Universe Masters and dare to claim you will kill me? Even a Universe Master is not certain of that, let alone you! Human Luo Feng, I will show you just how powerful a true peak Universe Master is!" Venerable Tianhua roared, grasping a divine hammer in each hand, stomping forward. "Rumble!" He charged directly toward Luo Feng. Luo Feng stood, holding the Blood Shadow Saber and smiling. The alien Venerables high in the air, including Lord Jiwei and Venerable Thousand Shadows, watched closely. The distance between the two rapidly closed. 100,000 kilometers, 50,000 kilometers... "Hah!" Luo Feng, who had been smiling, suddenly changed. His eyes filled with ferocious light, instantly transforming as if he had become a God of Beasts, charging forward like lightning. Before, he was calm as the sea, meeting the challenge with a smile, but his explosion was like an erupting volcano—suddenly violent and unstoppable, his aura appearing even stronger than his opponent's. The divine hammer tore through the air. The Blood Shadow Saber cleaved down! "Boom!" The two forces collided. Luo Feng retreated three steps consecutively, while the wildly charging Venerable Tianhua was thrown backward, soaring away. However, he twisted his body mid-air and quickly stopped his momentum. "As expected of someone capable of killing Universe Masters, your strength is greater than mine, but only slightly! You can't even completely suppress me, haha!" Venerable Tianhua had anticipated Luo Feng would be slightly stronger, given Luo Feng could easily slay Universe Masters—something Venerable Tianhua could not do. From this first exchange, Venerable Tianhua quickly judged that the opponent was only marginally stronger than him. "Is that so?" Luo Feng held the Blood Shadow Saber, walking forward across the golden waves. What he had just displayed was only the ultimate secret technique of a Universe Master, Heavy Mountain, the power of which was equivalent to the secret technique Venerable Tianhua used, only gaining the upper hand due to advantages in divine body and weaponry. "Haha, still want to fight? I wonder how many exchanges your divine body can sustain!" Venerable Tianhua strode forward, wielding his twin hammers, causing the very space to subtly tremble. A cold light flickered in Luo Feng's eyes. The previous exchange was merely a warm-up, a way to gauge Venerable Tianhua's true strength. After the assessment, he realized that even deploying the peak Universe Master secret techniques, Gold Mountain or Gold River, might not allow him to kill his opponent quickly. He would need to unleash the Universe Master ultimate secret technique, Golden Light! The number of alien Venerables high above had also increased, totaling more than thirty, hailing from various powers across the universe. Each watched the battle intently. However, Lord Jiwei stated, "The peak Universe Master's strength and divine body are formidable. Luo Feng can, at best, gain a slight advantage. If it drags into a war of attrition, human Luo Feng might actually lose..." His expression froze. The thirty-plus alien Venerables high in the air, who had been quietly discussing, were all stunned, staring at the scene unfolding below. In the Nine Blight River below, Luo Feng and Venerable Tianhua exchanged blows in an instant, and that streak of golden light flared... a dazzling, piercing golden light—sharp and utterly cold! "Peng!" Venerable Tianhua's divine hammer was cleaved away by a single strike, which instead smashed back onto his own body. The unbelievable power contained within that blow instantly impacted his high-tier Ultimate Treasure armor, pushing it to its absolute limit. Venerable Tianhua could faintly hear the armor screaming in protest. "How could he be this strong?" Venerable Tianhua's blood-red eye was filled with shock and disbelief. "Rumble..." Venerable Tianhua was sent flying backward as if he were a mere sack of sand, utterly defenseless. His divine body trembled under the force of the impact. "A loss of 11%! How is this possible? Is he... is he a Universe Master? Has he broken through to become a Universe Master?" Venerable Tianhua was completely stunned. His divine body, after taking over another's, was nearly ten kilometers tall! One strike instantly depleted his divine body's energy. This was too exaggerated. This... this was something only a Universe Master could achieve! Back when Luo Feng slew Venerable Zhong Zhan, it took two strikes to deplete more than half of his divine body. Venerable Tianhua possessed the same high-tier Ultimate Treasure armor as Venerable Zhong Zhan, but his divine power purity was twenty times that of Zhong Zhan's. Yet, Luo Feng's divine power purity after ascending to Universe Venerable had increased by a factor of one hundred compared to his past self! Furthermore, his weapon had upgraded from the Cleaving Light Saber to the "top-tier Ultimate Treasure weapon, the Blood Shadow Force," giving Luo Feng an even greater advantage. Moreover, at this level of combat, the protective effect of high-tier Ultimate Treasure armor was significantly diminished. Thus, a single strike! It destroyed 11% of his divine body. The thirty-plus alien Venerables in mid-air were shocked to find that Venerable Tianhua's aura had visibly weakened—the reduction was extremely clear, dropping by at least ten percent! "One strike, causing a peak Universe Master to lose nearly ten percent of his divine body?" They were completely shaken by this scene. This... this was absolutely something only a Universe Master could accomplish!
