"The Ancestral God Sect side?" Luo Feng caught the underlying meaning and couldn't help but ask, "Lord of Nine Nethers, could it be that not only the Ancestral God Sect has come here this time?"

"Correct."

The Lord of Nine Nethers nodded.

"Not only the Ancestral God Sect, but likely every major power in the universe guarded by a Universe Supreme Master will send a Universe Master," the Lord of Faint Difficulties beside him said, his bone wings spread, but his voice was gentle. "The Northern Border Alliance, the Star Beast Alliance, the Demon Race, the Mechanical Race, the Insect Race, the Crystal Race, the Prison Race, the Human Race, and others—all of them will probably have Universe Masters rushing over."

The Lord of Ding Mang's voice was hoarse, "With you, the Galaxy Lord, leading us, we are the fastest to arrive via Divine Kingdom Teleportation. Other factions will likely need some time. After all, this is the territory of the Lord of Yuan Ao, and I doubt many left behind tokens here."

"Why would they come?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Because they know about that wondrous item," the Lord of Faint Difficulties replied.

"How did they know?"

"Wondrous items are special objects that can only be born in the three great forbidden zones of the Sea of Chaos. Each one seems naturally present, whether it's a tree or a vine... In short, every one looks as if it grew naturally, and each possesses immense power. They can be called the closest things to Supreme Supreme Treasures. And wondrous items have another difference from Supreme Supreme Treasures... To exert sufficient power, Supreme Supreme Treasures require one to fully grasp their mysteries. If not perfectly activated, their power won't reach the limit of a Supreme Supreme Treasure."

Luo Feng nodded.

The Star Tower, he could only activate the second layer. But even activating just the second layer of the Star Tower... was already astonishingly heaven-defying.

"Wondrous items are different."

"Wondrous items have no intricate secret patterns carved on them, so any expert who wields one can directly unleash its maximum power," the Lord of Faint Difficulties said gently. "If a Supreme Supreme Treasure isn't activated to its maximum potential, it might only be equivalent to a wondrous item. A Supreme Supreme Treasure activated to its full might... can surpass a wondrous item. So you can imagine how precious it is."

Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

Like the peak treasure set used by the Dual-Faced Ancestral God, like the dual bronze artifacts used by the Lord of Star River, or even the Star Tower that he himself could activate to the second layer... they felt no more than equal to that black divine wood. Moreover, that black divine wood could unleash its strongest power immediately upon being taken. Who wouldn't want such a treasure?

"However, wondrous items have one major flaw," the Lord of Faint Difficulties sighed. "They are inherently rejected by the universe! Whether it's the core, the most colossal Original Universe, or the various small universes, they all reject wondrous items. Once a wondrous item is inside a universe... it affects the stability of the universe's origin. It seems they are natural adversaries to the universe's origin!"

Luo Feng was stunned.

Natural adversaries?

No wonder! No wonder the Ancestral God said something detrimental to the Original Universe was happening here.

"It's a pity that the Lord of Yuan Ao was merely a solitary individual. While being solitary brings freedom, some secrets are not shared with anyone. Coupled with the rarity of wondrous item births, even I only learned these secrets recently from the Ancestral God," the Lord of Faint Difficulties smiled... "The Lord of Yuan Ao didn't know... that the black divine wood was rejected by the Original Universe, so he brought it back. If he hadn't used it, it would have been fine. But the moment he used it... the black divine wood's power immediately clashed with the universe's origin. Other experts might not sense it, but the Universe Supreme Masters can clearly detect the presence of that wondrous item, the black divine wood."

Luo Feng nodded.

"Although the black divine wood cannot be brought back to the Original Universe—bringing it back is a crime!—super experts mostly roam the Sea of Chaos, so they could simply keep the black divine wood in the Sea of Chaos under their own care. This alone is already considered a lesser Supreme Supreme Treasure..." How could this not drive the major factions insane? If the Universe Supreme Masters didn't realize that the other parties were also aware, they wouldn't just send Universe Masters; they would come personally."

Luo Feng fully understood; this was the whole story.

"Yuan Ao must have brought the wondrous item back quite some time ago," the Lord of Nine Nethers said slowly. "The wondrous item knows it is rejected by the Original Universe, so it began to gradually integrate part of its aura into his body, causing even the Original Universe to start rejecting him. That's why this time... the Lord of Yuan Ao must also be eliminated."

Luo Feng was secretly shocked: "Its aura integrated into his body?"

"Wondrous items are very special, very evil, and very powerful," the Lord of Nine Nethers stated. "Not many experts can resist their temptation."

"A lesser Supreme Supreme Treasure, who can resist its lure?" the Lord of Faint Difficulties and the Lord of Dark Python also sighed.

Luo Feng nodded.

Supreme Supreme Treasures... the probability of obtaining them is too low. At least in the Original Universe, there's no news of any Universe Master possessing a Supreme Supreme Treasure. Even Lord Chaos City, Lord Star River, and the others don't have one—even Founder Giant Axe and the few other supreme experts lack Supreme Supreme Treasures! Who wouldn't desire a wondrous item slightly weaker than a Supreme Supreme Treasure?

"It has no temptation for me," the Lord of Nine Nethers shook his head and smiled... "Every time I fight, my clones are ready to be annihilated at any moment; I never bring vital treasures."

Luo Feng let out a wry smile.

"Let's go. Our Ancestral God Sect is the fastest. Even if the other factions rush over at top speed, it will likely take another half a day to arrive. While there's time, I will go deal with the Lord of Yuan Ao first. I want to see... just how powerful the Lord of Yuan Ao has become with this wondrous item," the Lord of Nine Nethers stated directly.

"Let's go."

"Good."

"I haven't seen the Lord of Nine Nethers make a move yet," Luo Feng also smiled.

Whoosh!

Instantly, these four supreme beings from the Ancestral God Sect vanished from this stretch of void.

In the void, four figures separated, looking from afar at the massive, continent-sized landmass floating in the distance.

"How do we lure that fellow out?" the Lord of Faint Difficulties mused. The simplest method would be a long-distance divine power strike, causing an explosion within one of the continents, which would naturally enrage the Lord of Yuan Ao to appear. However, the Lord of Faint Difficulties and the others held extremely high statuses; unless ordinary life forms provoked them, they wouldn't resort to such actions.

"Leave it to me," Luo Feng said, which drew the attention of the Lord of Nine Nethers, the Lord of Faint Difficulties, and the Lord of Dark Python.

Swish!

Luo Feng spread his four wings.

Endless golden light suddenly permeated the area, instantly forming a vast, hazy golden space with a radius of billions of light-years—it was the 'Golden Kingdom.' The entire Golden Kingdom completely enveloped that continent mass. This move immediately astonished the Lord of Nine Nethers and the others, who looked at Luo Feng. Such a vast range? Even top-tier domain-type Supreme Treasures didn't boast such coverage. Suddenly, none dared to underestimate this Human Luo Feng.

"Yuan Ao!" Luo Feng shouted suddenly.

"Yuan Ao!" "Yuan Ao!" "Yuan Ao!" "Yuan Ao!" "Yuan Ao!" "Yuan Ao!"...

Luo Feng's shouts, passing through the Golden Kingdom, instantly resonated across every inch of space spanning the continent mass, causing the countless lives on that landmass to feel terrified and uneasy.

"Human Luo Feng!!!" an angry roar sounded.

A dazzling stream of flame rushed out from one of the continents, followed by an immediate teleportation, arriving within a million kilometers of where Luo Feng and the others stood in the void.

"Fleeing in disgrace earlier, and now you dare to return?" The towering Lord of Yuan Ao's single eye was filled with madness. His gaze swept over them, and he immediately sneered, "No wonder this cowardly Galaxy Lord dared to come; it seems reinforcements have arrived. Let me see who this is? Two little things, and... isn't that the Lord of Nine Nethers? The famous Lord of Nine Nethers, the renowned Lord of Nine Nethers! Nine Nethers, what? Are you planning to join forces with these three little guys to attack me? I truly don't care."

The Lord of Nine Nethers looked at him: "Relax, I alone am enough."

"I admit you lunatic are powerful, with an endless divine body. I'd rather encounter Lord Star River or Lord Chaos City than you. Without the wondrous item, I would run even if I saw you. But now... I'm not afraid of you," the Lord of Yuan Ao laughed heartily. "I'm not even afraid of Universe Supreme Masters."

"Is that so?"

The Lord of Nine Nethers moved, instantly sealing off the surrounding space completely.

"Come then," the Lord of Yuan Ao also summoned the black divine wood radiating boundless power in his hand, his single eye brimming with confidence and madness.

Luo Feng, the Lord of Faint Difficulties, and the Lord of Dark Python watched from a distance.

As the distant Lord of Nine Nethers transformed into a stream of light charging toward the Lord of Yuan Ao, he suddenly let out a piercing roar. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—the entire Lord of Nine Nethers suddenly transformed into an immense, towering sea of water. This water churned up giant waves spanning millions of kilometers, crashing directly towards the Lord of Yuan Ao. The Lord of Yuan Ao also frantically unleashed his strongest secret technique, 'Incineration.'

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

The surging seawater formed a colossal vortex, completely engulfing the Lord of Yuan Ao within it.

"Nine Nethers, Sea's Eye," the Lord of Faint Difficulties couldn't help but exclaim. Luo Feng held his breath.

"Nine Nethers, Sea's Eye, is a legendary ultimate move, one that only the Lord of Nine Nethers can execute."

Rumble, rumble, rumble—The endless seawater completely formed a massive vortex, which first expanded monstrously, and then, as if a star exploded and collapsed into a neutron star, the entire massive vortex violently expanded and then rapidly contracted. Boundless divine power erupted in that instant! The power exploded instantaneously! This was a terrifying move executed at the cost of a 'self-detonation.'

Luo Feng also knew this move.

Microscopic Universe Annihilation!

Of course, Luo Feng received it as a talent secret technique, while the Lord of Nine Nethers created this move, the 'Nine Nethers Sea's Eye,' based on the nature of his own Nine Nether Sea.

Bang, bang, bang—

Amidst the furious explosions and impacts, the endless vortex water instantly shrank to the size of an ordinary human's fist, and only then did it completely annihilate and dissipate, revealing the Lord of Yuan Ao, who appeared quite battered, shrunk to the size of a mere head. The sheer power generated by the previous rapid contraction had already turned the surrounding space into a scorching stream of particles, countless particle streams resembling soup boiling in a large pot...

As the heat dissipated, the shrunken Lord of Yuan Ao, now the size of a fist, suddenly began to grow larger again.

Luo Feng secretly anticipated that when he became a Universe Master, his 'Sea of Nethers Clone' would also be able to execute a move of equivalent power!
