Within the miniature universe, two other Universe Masters, just preparing to fly to its edge to shatter it, were instantly overwhelmed as the "Endless Chaos Qi Current," spurred by the very origin of the miniature universe, crashed down upon them with crushing force, resulting in the demise of over 6,000 Universe Venerables!
"This—this... this..." The Six-Hoofed Long-Nosed Alien Beast and the Three-Eyed Alien, these two Universe Masters were utterly stunned; they knew this matter had escalated beyond measure.
Master Banfu's eyes widened to their limit, flames burning in his gaze as he stared furiously at Luo Feng: "Audacious!"
"Hahaha, of course, I am not timid. You have all encroached upon me, sought to extinguish me, so how could I show mercy? If they dare kill... I dare to kill!" Luo Feng roared, and across the vast expanse of the miniature universe, the endless Chaos Qi Current surged madly towards him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Luo Feng’s divine body instantly swelled to a thousand kilometers, and the Blood Shadow Blade in his hand grew to several hundred kilometers long. The Chaos Qi Current poured entirely into the Blood Shadow Blade, rushing into it, causing a vast, hazy blade shadow to form around the weapon.
"Take one strike from me!" Luo Feng shouted in rage.
"Kill me? Presumptuous!" Master Banfu, gripping his long spear, roared back and charged directly forward.
This spear thrust from Master Banfu carried the might of the Eluo Realm, subtly affecting space and time.
Luo Feng’s strike, however, carried the inherent power of the miniature universe, amplified by the ultimate secret technique, "Golden Light."
"Boom!"
The instant the two collided, the immense power instantly transformed the surrounding area into a vacuum of nothingness. Neither the Chaos Qi Current nor the green specks of light from the Eluo Realm could penetrate; even the flow of space particles was swept away.
Master Banfu’s four hooves retreated continuously, while Luo Feng only stepped back twice.
"Hahaha..." Luo Feng charged forward again.
"What?" Master Banfu’s eyes snapped open; he had not expected to be at a slight disadvantage.
"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"...
At the level of Master Banfu, engagements were astonishingly fast; one hard collision after another. In just three seconds, they exchanged dozens of blows, and in every exchange, Master Banfu was suppressed. When the final collision occurred, the entire miniature universe instantly dissipated, and the Chaos Qi Current vanished along with it.
"Haha... Master Banfu, I cannot keep you here, and fighting on serves no purpose. I depart for now." As he was shoved back in the final exchange, Luo Feng instead used the momentum to quickly spread his four wings and shot away like a stream of light, his voice echoing through the heavens and earth.
"Trying to flee!" Master Banfu roared, transforming into a streak of light to pursue rapidly, while simultaneously controlling the Eluo Realm to fiercely obstruct Luo Feng.
However, the Eluo Realm might easily dispatch a Universe Hegemon, but Luo Feng's Wings of Destruction sliced through countless green light points, causing his speed to continue accelerating. Though the acceleration was slow, he eventually reached near light speed when Master Banfu was about ten thousand kilometers behind him, flying ever onward into the distance.
The two flew, separated by ten thousand kilometers.
This time, Luo Feng had deployed the miniature universe. The entire process of accumulating, mobilizing, and crushing the endless Chaos Qi Current to annihilate the 6,000-plus Universe Venerables took nearly six seconds. During this period, Luo Feng had also exchanged words with Master Banfu... The ensuing battle lasted three seconds. When the miniature universe had sustained for a total of nine seconds, Luo Feng swiftly cut off the divine power supply, causing the miniature universe to automatically dissolve and collapse.
Each deployment required at least Miao—that was the absolute minimum duration. In that brief moment, Luo Feng's divine body consumed Kai.
"What a pity... after the death of the 6,000-plus Universe Venerables, they were too far away, and I couldn't reclaim their treasures and heavy treasures," Luo Feng muttered to himself while flying, a trace of smugness showing.
He was naturally pleased.
Because this battle was destined to become a shocking event in the history of the universe, one that could never be erased! The simultaneous destruction and fall of over 6,000 Universe Venerables (who must have been at least High Universe Venerables) was extremely rare in the history of warfare across the countless forces of the universe—it was an event sufficient to shake the cosmos.
And an incident as bizarre as Luo Feng’s—it truly hadn't happened. The AX 6,000 Universe Venerables seemingly surrounding Luo Feng only to be wiped out in one go was unprecedented. Large-scale massacres in cosmic history usually involved major cosmic factions battling, followed by a supreme existence crashing the enemy's lair for a massive slaughter.
Luo Feng flew swiftly, glanced back, and shouted via telepathic transmission: "Master Banfu, you can't stop me, why keep chasing?"
"Scoundrel," Master Banfu behind him refused to give up in the slightest.
This situation had blown up.
This wasn't a large-scale war threatening the extinction of entire races; it was merely an operation to encircle and eliminate Luo Feng, yet the flourishing alliance of the three peak races had suffered such a massive loss? And Master Banfu, responsible for killing Luo Feng, was naturally filled with burning indignation.
"Thousand Treasure River!"
Luo Feng continued flying, heading toward the distant Thousand Treasure River.
It must be noted that the constant collisions between the Thousand Treasure River and the Floating Mountain Sea were demarcated by the boundary of the battle between Luo Feng and Master Banfu. Luo Feng soon flew directly into the domain of the Thousand Treasure River.
"Hahaha..." Inside the Thousand Treasure River, Luo Feng turned back to look at Master Banfu, who had stopped pursuing him. "Why stop chasing?"
"Luo Feng, don't get cocky!" Master Banfu’s voice was low, filled with fury. "I admire your strength; you are formidable to have created the ultimate secret technique! But this matter won't end so easily. You killed over 6,000 High Universe Venerables from the three alliances; how could the three alliances not go mad?"
"Then I shall wait," Luo Feng grinned.
"You can't withstand it," Master Banfu stared at Luo Feng.
"Oh? Is that so?" Luo Feng smiled, then turned and flew deeper into the Thousand Treasure River.
"Hmph!"
Master Banfu immediately turned and flew back. Simultaneously, he controlled the Eluo Realm, sweeping up the treasures left behind by the dead 6,000-plus Universe Venerables, causing those treasures to rapidly fly toward him. However, even at maximum speed, the treasures couldn't travel faster than 300,000 kilometers per second, and they were scattered everywhere—many were billions of kilometers away, requiring a long time to collect.
Chaos City Master, upon seeing the miniature universe deploy, immediately sensed trouble: "Master Banfu has created the ultimate secret technique? This is bad; Luo Feng is in deep trouble this time. But having been pushed this far, it seems soul control and soul infiltration have failed. If that avatar dies, however, the treasure will be lost."
"Hmm?"
"He's out?"
Chaos City Master suddenly noticed the miniature universe dissipating, with Luo Feng flying towards him. Although the Eluo Realm's obstruction prevented the Thousand Treasure River from detecting the remnants of the fallen Universe Venerables' treasures, Master Banfu’s furious roar directed at Luo Feng reached the Thousand Treasure River area after Luo Feng entered it, so Chaos City Master was aware of the situation.
The content of that roar was: "I admire your strength; you are formidable to have created the ultimate secret technique! But this matter won't end so easily. You killed over 6,000 High Universe Venerables from the three alliances; how could the three alliances not go mad?"
Chaos City Master was truly shaken.
"Luo Feng," a voice suddenly sounded in Luo Feng's ear within the Thousand Treasure River.
"Teacher." Luo Feng replied.
"That... that ultimate secret technique of a Universe Master, was that unleashed by you?"
"Yes," Luo Feng admitted directly.
"And you killed over six thousand Universe Venerables?"
"Yes, every single one, not a single survivor," Luo Feng also stated.
Chaos City Master fell silent.
Luo Feng could unleash the ultimate secret technique of a Universe Master! Luo Feng had annihilated over six thousand Universe Venerables (and they were all at least High Universe Venerables) in one go! These two pieces of information made even an existence like Chaos City Master feel bewildered, difficult to comprehend—how could such a thing have happened?
A miracle!
"In the universe, truly anything can happen," Chaos City Master murmured to himself, then transmitted his voice: "Luo Feng, from this moment forward, you are a Universe Master."
"Disciple dares not deceive Teacher; in truth, I haven't truly become a Universe Master yet," Luo Feng admitted.
Hiding things was necessary for the alien races and outsiders. He didn't need to hide things from his Teacher, who understood him deeply and would likely see through any pretense.
"If I say you are a Universe Master, then you are a Universe Master. What difference is there between you now and a true Universe Master? Even if you cross that threshold in the future, it will only be a slight increase in divine body strength and the ability to master space and time, nothing more!" Chaos City Master declared. "Crossing over to become a Universe Master won't grant you that large an increase in overall strength anymore."
Luo Feng understood his teacher’s meaning. Other experts ascending to Universe Master status gained a surge in divine body power, an improved understanding of laws enabling stronger secret techniques, and a jump of two or three levels in secret technique mastery. Cumulatively, their combat strength was vastly superior to their Hegemon stage.
But Luo Feng was different.
Luo Feng had already reached the peak limit of Universe Master-level secret techniques—the ultimate secret technique. Upon becoming a Universe Master, his divine power would only become purer, and mastering space-time would offer little advantage when battling true Universe Masters.
"Empress, Luo Feng unleashed the Universe Master's ultimate secret technique; its power was overwhelming, forming a colossal world with a diameter of over ten billion kilometers, instantly annihilating all 6,000-plus Universe Venerables within that range."
Though Master Banfu was distressed, he still transmitted the news to the Insect Race Empress.
In reality, his transmission was unnecessary; the simultaneous annihilation of the avatars of numerous Universe Venerables meant that over 6,000 avatars belonging to the three alliances had perished simultaneously, already inciting rage, anxiety, and roars from the vast populations of the three races.
The news shocked the highest echelons of the three alliances. The Universe Masters of the three alliances roared in fury: "If Luo Feng isn't killed, what face do our three alliances have? This is a disgrace, a disgrace to our three alliances!"
"Kill Luo Feng! He must be killed!" "How? Who will kill him? Do they think the Alliance Masters are fools?"
The Universe Masters argued ceaselessly, each feeling profound shame. The other powers in the universe would surely turn the three alliances into a laughingstock, and Luo Feng would use them to truly establish his name across the universe! This was something the Universe Masters of the three alliances could absolutely not tolerate.
Under these circumstances, the two strongest beings of the Demon Race—Ancestor Meng Yao and Ancestor Zhen Yao—along with the Insect Race Empress and the Mechanical Race Father God, gathered to solemnly discuss the matter.
