"Primordial Star No. 08293, Human Luo Feng not found."
"Primordial Star No. 08448, Human Luo Feng not found."
"Number..."
The Universe Masters of the Three Great Alliances swept across one primordial star after another, swiftly investigating and continuously relaying information back to the Demon Ancestor Chi.
"Meng Cha, have you found Luo Feng yet?" In the virtual space covering the Meng Ancestor Secret Realm, before the cluster of palaces belonging to the Demon Ancestor Chi, a massive beast with a serrated carapace emerged from the darkness and slowly descended, addressing the winding, coiled silver serpent below.
"Not yet."
"It's been this long and still nothing?" the Tremor Ancestor roared. "With the speed of Luo Feng's Demon Killing Clan avatar, he has likely already fled the primordial stars, possibly even reaching the Human Territory by now."
"I believe so too." The massive silver serpent head turned to look at the beast with the serrated carapace. "After all, ordinary Universe Venerables exploring can only be suicide, and the Universe Masters... even among the Three Great Alliances, there are only so many, and they are spread thin. Just the travel time would allow Luo Feng to flee far. If he were to be discovered, it would have happened much sooner. This long delay... Luo Feng must have already escaped back to the Human Territory." "Meng Cha, what if that human Luo Feng is hiding in the Initial Universe the entire time?" the Tremor Ancestor asked.
"There is nothing we can do," the Demon Ancestor Chi replied. "The Initial Universe is controlled by the Primal Chaos City Lord. Even if we went there... we would not be a match for the Primal Chaos City Lord, who commands the full might of the entire Initial Universe."
In the Initial Universe, the Primal Chaos City Lord was invincible.
The two fell silent.
"This Luo Feng is truly unwise!" the Demon Ancestor Chi lamented. "The Four Peak Races have fought for endless eons, and none can destroy the other. As long as the Universe's Strongest exist, the struggle is merely a matter of reputation! Since Luo Feng can unleash such terrifying secret techniques, he is clearly already a Universe Master."
"Perhaps he isn't a Universe Master," the Tremor Ancestor suggested.
"Whether Zhen Jiao is a Universe Master makes little difference now. His battle strength rivals that of a Universe Master. Not only does he possess a Universe Master ultimate secret technique, but he also created a supreme secret technique unique to Universe Masters! Of these two techniques, at best one is a talent-based technique; the other must have been created by him. Furthermore, he possesses numerous avatars." The giant silver serpent head moved slowly, a trace of melancholy in its eyes. "Even if we attack, we would likely only destroy one avatar, harming nothing essential."
"If we cannot eliminate him, this conflict is destined to remain a contest of honor."
"If he were smart, he would send an avatar to die! This incident would be concluded," the Demon Ancestor Chi said with some irritation. "But his fleeing has caused humiliation to all Three Great Alliances. Thus... this grudge has only deepened! For endless ages to come, the Three Great Alliances will never forgive him!"
Although the Three Great Alliances desperately wanted to kill Luo Feng, as this incident had cost them dearly.
Firstly, they were the ones who plotted against Luo Feng first.
Secondly, Luo Feng was backed by the Human Alliance! And even further back, the Ancestor God Sect!
The Human Alliance was, after all, one of the nine supreme powers of the universe! The Ancestor God Sect also protected Luo Feng from the rear... Luo Feng's strength was already so great that unless the Four Peak Races decided on a fight to the death, they could not touch him. Therefore, they could only swallow this bitter pill for now. If Luo Feng submitted, future confrontations wouldn't need to be so frenzied.
But now...
At the very least, there was no room for reconciliation between Luo Feng and the Three Great Alliances!
"Demon Ancestor Chi, Tremor Ancestor, I have found Blood Cloud Hall Master!"
"Blood Cloud Hall Master is currently on Primordial Star No. 03129." An urgent message suddenly arrived, shocking the Demon Ancestor Chi and the Tremor Ancestor, who had just been discussing Luo Feng.
"Blood Cloud Hall Master?" Both the Demon Ancestor Chi and the Tremor Ancestor were utterly surprised.
"That fellow has actually emerged?" the Tremor Ancestor exclaimed in shock. "He dares to show himself?"
"Hmph, hmph, that madman," the Demon Ancestor Chi growled with anger. "That's true, he’s been missing for millions of epochs. It’s rare for the primordial stars to open while he is on one. It’s difficult for the Universe's Strongest to kill him there. His appearance is hardly surprising!"
"What should we do?" the Tremor Ancestor asked.
"Naturally, spread the news widely so that all major forces in the universe know about it!" the Demon Ancestor Chi declared. "This Blood Cloud Hall Master is extremely adept at escaping. The Monster Race Alliance alone cannot take him down, much less kill him, which would surely come at a significant cost. He is a public enemy of the universe! It would be best to let all parties strike together, wouldn't it?" "Indeed," the Tremor Ancestor nodded slightly.
"...Hmph, hmph, how long has it been? He still dares to show his face!" Infinite coldness flashed through the Demon Ancestor Chi's eyes.
The news of Blood Cloud Hall Master appearing on Primordial Star No. 03129, actively disseminated by the Monster Race Alliance, quickly reached the Insect Alliance, the Mechanical Alliance, the Human Alliance, the Star Beast Alliance, the Prison Race Alliance, the Crystal Race Alliance, the North River Alliance, the Ancestor God Sect... one by one!
In addition to the nine supreme powers, slightly lesser forces like the Thorn Ring Alliance and the Nine Domain Alliance also became fully aware.
The Ancestor God Sect, Ancestor God Palace.
An enraged voice echoed.
"Blood Cloud Hall Master? Blood Cloud has appeared? He still dares to show himself! Feng Tian God Master... you will lead the three Universe Masters under your command to the primordial star and kill that Blood Cloud!"
"As you command, Ancestor God."
One of the Guardian God Masters of the Ancestor God Sect, Feng Tian God Master, immediately departed the Ancestor God Palace along with the other three Universe Masters aligned with him.
"It's Blood Cloud!"
The North River Alliance was the largest among the nine supreme powers in terms of the number of strong experts, Universe Venerables, and sheer race size. Correspondingly, when Blood Cloud Hall Master rampaged across the universe with terrifying might and countless killings, the North River Alliance suffered the most devastating losses. The casualties were immense: numerous powerful experts perished, top-tier Universe Hegemons fell, and even a Universe Master was killed.
No enmity, no personal grievance—simply because he found a certain expert displeasing, Blood Cloud Hall Master began a slaughter! Even when some experts tried to flatter Blood Cloud Hall Master or invite him to join them, the North River Alliance was subjected to humiliation, imprisonment, and eventually, death at his hands.
In short.
Blood Cloud Hall Master was a lunatic! Extremely evil! The fact that he managed to offend nearly every major force in the universe was, in a twisted way, a testament to his capability.
When he reappeared after three million epochs of absence, the ancient resentment surged back into the minds of those experts. The high command of the North River Alliance could no longer tolerate it! Blood Cloud Hall Master's previous actions against the North River Alliance were blatant contempt, disdain, and repeated humiliating slap-in-the-face attacks!
"Madman!"
"This madman dares to show up again! Does he think that because the Universe's Strongest can only fly on the primordial stars, he is safer?"
"Leave him to me. I will teach him a lesson and kill him!"
"I want to go too."
"He killed me back then. Fortunately, the Alliance Master reversed time and space to resurrect me, and I finally broke through to Universe Master! The grudge for my death and the insult must be repaid. I am going too."
Soon, a full twelve Universe Masters were eager to hunt down Blood Cloud Hall Master.
The Star Beast Alliance, Star Beast Divine Mountain.
"Blood Cloud? He still dares to show himself?" the Star Beast Ancestor roared. "The insult he inflicted upon our Star Beast Alliance back then must be washed away with his demise today!"
"Ancestor, I will go kill him."
"I will go too."
"That detestable fellow escaped just as I arrived back then. My Golden Horn lineage cannot be left out of this matter."
Quickly, including the Universe Masters already present on the primordial stars, the Star Beast Alliance immediately decided to dispatch four Universe Masters to settle this matter, and the four chosen were far from ordinary.
The Human Alliance, Virtual Universe, Human Alliance City, Human Alliance Hall.
The Giant Axe Creator sat in the main seat, with various Hall Masters seated around.
"That old fellow Blood Cloud Hall Master has actually appeared. After three million epochs of absence, he still dares to show himself! Giant Axe! What should we do?"
"Blood Cloud Hall Master hasn't really provoked the Human Alliance much. Among the major forces of the universe, we are the only ones who haven't suffered significant losses from him. I suggest we stay out of this matter. You all know Blood Cloud Hall Master's methods; his Blood Cloud Palace is a supreme treasure for escape and survival, having evaded encirclement several times."
Discussions broke out within the Human Alliance, as no one was willing to get involved. If the Human Alliance interfered, and Blood Cloud Hall Master sought revenge later, the consequences would be disastrous.
"We will simply watch what the outcome will be when all the universe's forces join together to deal with Blood Cloud Hall Master this time," the Giant Axe Creator decided.
...
On Primordial Star No. 03129.
By the edge of the hillock.
Blood Cloud Hall Master, clad in a blood-red battle robe and wearing a blood-red mask, holding a gleaming long glaive, leaned casually against the earthen mound behind him, looking utterly relaxed.
"Truly insane."
"From the news received from the Human Alliance City, it seems the forces of the universe are about to go mad. Teacher is Teacher... you are too formidable. You’ve provoked every major power in the universe except the Human Alliance to want you dead," Luo Feng sighed inwardly. With his identity shifted, even those who were on good terms with him, like the Ancestor God Sect and the Star Beast Alliance, were probably coming to kill him.
"It's about time."
"The message has been spread widely enough." Luo Feng nodded slightly.
He then immediately stood up!
Luo Feng looked up at his surroundings and said softly, "Time and Space Control, monitor my movements. You major factions must all be mobilizing now, hahaha! Come on, if you want to kill me, come! But don't end up being the ones I kill instead!"
Whoosh!
Luo Feng, draped in a blood-red robe with a pair of golden, curved horns, tore through the void and flew toward the distance.
Shen Huo Master, who had been continuously employing Time and Space Control to monitor Blood Cloud Hall Master’s movements, naturally heard Luo Feng’s words clearly. This caused Shen Huo Master’s expression to immediately change. He knew that Blood Cloud Hall Master must be aware that he was controlling time and space, but he never expected Blood Cloud Hall Master to be this audacious.
"Blood Cloud Hall Master has moved! He is moving."
"He is heading toward the nearest vortex passage!" Shen Huo Master immediately began reporting to the Demon Ancestor Chi and the Tremor Ancestor.
However, the forces of the universe were currently in motion, meaning a perfect encirclement had not yet been formed.
"Shen Huo Master, I order you to stall Blood Cloud Hall Master! Stop him!" The Demon Ancestor Chi's command was issued directly.
