What might be the power of the universe's strongest beings? They might not be able to kill certain heaven-defying entities like the 'Lord of Nine Nethers' or the 'Lord of the Star River,' but to make a universe's strongest being perish is truly inconceivable; remember, even Ancestor, who directly confronted the 'Primal Universe,' was merely suppressed permanently!

"Perish? A universe's strongest being has fallen?" Luo Feng was secretly startled.

Simultaneously, the Nether Sea Clone immediately connected to the Virtual Universe, beginning to investigate the information regarding Xuan Yuan.

With Luo Feng's current authority, he immediately retrieved the data upon checking.

Xuan Yuan: A universe's strongest being from before the Great Annihilation Era, who loved adventure and exploration, and perished after venturing too deep into one of the three great perilous zones of the Sea of Universe—the Edge of Collapse Boundary.

"The Sea of Universe's three great perilous zones?"

"Exploration?"

Various thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind. 'The Edge of Collapse Boundary, capable of causing the fall of a universe's strongest being... just how dangerous is it! The three great perilous zones! They truly live up to their name!'

Just as Luo Feng finished investigating the information through the Virtual Universe, the Master of Yuan Ao, at this moment, seemed to grasp the last sliver of life.

"Yes, Xuan Yuan! That universe's strongest being who absolutely loved adventuring and venturing—Xuan Yuan!" The Master of Yuan Ao stood suspended in the void. The massive spatial fragments flying toward him were instantly shredded by the Endless Light Domain, and countless smaller shards struck the Master of Yuan Ao, yet he remained as unshakable as Mount Tai.

However, the Master of Yuan Ao himself was in extreme danger. He possessed the peak sealing Supreme Treasure, the 'Ice Mountain Hall.' If other powerful beings besieged him again, preventing him from having sufficient ability to resist the Ice Mountain Hall, and he was directly sucked inside, it would truly be the end.

"You claim to have a fragment map of Xuan Yuan's Edge of Collapse Boundary—how do you prove it’s real?"

"He's about to die, he’s probably lying!"

The Universe Masters from the various major factions watched from afar, including the Founder of Black Zhou, none rushing to strike immediately.

"I'm lying? Where do you think I obtained my Black Divine Wood?" The Master of Yuan Ao surveyed his surroundings. "I believe you all know that this rare object only appears in the three great perilous zones."

The Universe Masters of the major factions in the Primal Universe fell silent.

The rare object truly only originated from the three great perilous zones.

"I luckily obtained this fragment map of the Edge of Collapse Boundary. I never dared let other powerful beings know, fearing I would invite disaster," the Master of Yuan Ao explained. "Relying on this fragment map, I explored the Edge of Collapse Boundary... I was lucky enough to obtain this rare object. At that time, I was discovered by another Universe Master, the Master of Hu Zhi. I easily killed him using the Black Divine Wood."

"So it was you who killed him."

"The Master of Hu Zhi was killed by you."

The Universe Masters in the surrounding void realized with sudden clarity. Some Universe Masters who roamed the Sea of Universe perished without even being able to transmit a message back, making the cause of their deaths difficult to trace.

"Hahahaha..."

"He can only blame his bad luck," the Master of Yuan Ao looked around. "After I obtained the rare object, the Sea of Universe was too dangerous... So, I immediately returned to the Primal Universe, intending to find some major factions to exchange for Supreme Treasures. After all, with the Divine Wood, my set of offensive Supreme Treasures became useless. I could exchange them for better defensive armor or even purchase treasures to enhance my life gene factors."

"But..."

"Before I could act, that human Luo Feng arrived!" The Master of Yuan Ao glared toward Luo Feng, gritting his teeth. "Luo Feng!"

Standing in the distance, Luo Feng in silver armor and silver wings with his battle blade strapped to his back merely smiled faintly.

"I don't understand, why is the Ancestor God Sect's intelligence so well-informed, and why do they want to eliminate me?" The Master of Yuan Ao glared at Luo Feng. "Lord of Nine Nethers, 'Jiu You,' can you tell me why you want to kill me? I have no quarrel with your Ancestor God Sect."

"You deserve to die," Jiu You stated coldly.

"Tell me the reason," the Master of Yuan Ao roared.

"Stop the nonsense," Emperor Yan, not far away, harshly interjected. "You've said so much, it could all be you fabricating it. Who knows if you obtained that rare object purely by luck! None of this can confirm that you truly possess the 'Edge of Collapse Map Fragment,' let alone confirm it was left by Xuan Yuan."

There were many Edge of Collapse Map Fragments.

The Edge of Collapse Boundary was one of the three great perilous zones of the Sea of Universe, vast and boundless. If the map fragment only recorded the outermost regions, it held no value.

However, fragments recording the deeper areas held immense value. The size of the recorded area—small versus large—naturally dictated the difference in value. If it only recorded an area of a million kilometers versus an area spanning a hundred light-years... the value difference was like heaven and earth.

And 'Xuan Yuan' was a universe's strongest being from before the Great Annihilation, having lived longer than any current universe's strongest being in the Primal Universe. He had ventured in time and again, exploring the Edge of Collapse Boundary countless times. The Edge of Collapse Map Fragments Xuan Yuan carried would naturally be enriched to an extremely high degree, holding immeasurable value. Obtaining this fragment... one could completely use it to acquire vast amounts of treasures; even obtaining an Ultimate Supreme Treasure would not be impossible.

"This is Xuan Yuan's legacy."

The Master of Yuan Ao roared, and with a flip of his hand, a black and gold mottled silk cloth appeared in his grasp. "This is... the Thread Silk Map! Thread Silk is an extremely precious material, used to create a map. Even universe's strongest beings are not all willing to part with it."

"The Thread Silk Map!"

"The Thread Silk Map!"

"It is indeed the Thread Silk!"

"The legendary Xuan Yuan, the map he carried with him was the Thread Silk Map."

The Universe Masters present instantly grew excited. To use Thread Silk so extravagantly to create a map—few possessed such grand means.

Virtual Universe.

Luo Feng and the Master of Ice Peak were before the City Lord of Chaos.

"Whether his words are credible is still hard to say," the City Lord of Chaos commented.

"Senior Brother, what the Master of Yuan Ao just brought out is exactly the Thread Silk Map!" the Master of Ice Peak suddenly stated.

"The Thread Silk Map?"

The City Lord of Chaos was shocked. "The Master of Yuan Ao is just a lone Universe Master. Suddenly obtaining a rare object and now presenting the Thread Silk Map... perhaps what he said is very likely true! If this is truly the Edge of Collapse Map Fragment left by 'Xuan Yuan,' then it is priceless. For our race, its value is even higher than that single rare object. Junior Brother, Luo Feng, both of you must find a way to obtain that Thread Silk Map. This Thread Silk Map is unique and cannot be divided; there will certainly be a struggle. You two must cooperate and do your best."

"Mm," the Master of Ice Peak nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, Teacher," Luo Feng also nodded.

Northern Frontier Alliance.

"The Thread Silk Map?"

"Since the Master of Yuan Ao has the Thread Silk Map, it seems what he said is true! The surrounding space is locked; I cannot teleport there directly. Without Divine Kingdom Teleportation, it will take me a long time to rush over. It's up to you all; try your best first to secure that Thread Silk Map. The rare object is secondary."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Demon Race.

"There will definitely be a fight. The Thread Silk Map cannot be divided, and no one is willing to share it. That Black Zhou is truly lucky to be the first one there. It will take us some time to rush over. How fast are battles between powerhouses? If we go, it will certainly be too late... Tian Lang, You Mo, both of you do your best. Once the Thread Silk Map is obtained, immediately flee."

"Yes."

The avatars of the Master of Tian Lang and the Master of You Mo both responded.

Their avatars remained here, ready to relay any news from that location to the Ancestral Demon Lord and the Shocking Demon Ancestor. The original target was the 'rare object,' but now the focus had shifted to the 'Edge of Collapse Map Fragment.'

Prison Release, Crystal Clan, Star Beast Alliance...

All parties were envious.

Remember, the Sea of Universe is a place with even more treasures than the 'Primal Universe.' The three great perilous zones of the Sea of Universe... have produced numerous peak Supreme Treasures and even 'Ultimate Supreme Treasures'! Therefore, map fragments from the three great perilous zones have always been highly valuable; the wider the recorded area, and the deeper the location within those three perilous zones, the higher the value.

Moreover, the powerhouses of the Primal Universe were all born after the Great Annihilation.

But before the Great Annihilation... those ancient powerhouses all lived far longer than the current ones, meaning they naturally had more experience regarding the three great perilous zones. The fragment map left by 'Xuan Yuan'... its value absolutely surpasses that of a single rare object.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Powerful auras surged toward the sky, one powerhouse after another staring from afar in every direction at the Master of Yuan Ao, and then at the Founder of Black Zhou.

"Founder of Black Zhou, you won't be greedy, will you?" the Lord of Nine Nethers spoke up.

"Founder of Black Zhou, you possess an Ultimate Supreme Treasure, and you are a lone universe's strongest being. This Edge of Collapse Map Fragment is not as useful to you," the Master of Gold Horn also slowly stated.

Super powerhouses one after another stared at the Founder of Black Zhou.

The Lord of Nine Nethers, the Master of Gold Horn, the Master of Ice Peak, the Master of Zi Mo...

Each one could tie down the Founder of Black Zhou.

"I want the map," the Founder of Black Zhou declared. "Yuan Ao, I will protect you!"

"You cannot protect him!"

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The super powerhouses from the Nine Great Factions instantly erupted. The Master of Gold Horn and the Master of Zi Mo flickered and simultaneously launched an assault on the Founder of Black Zhou. The Master of Gold Horn roared, spreading its scaled wings and charging thunderously toward the Founder of Black Zhou. The Master of Zi Mo let out a shriek, the white face on its massive body looking extremely ferocious.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

They were completely frenzied.

"Damn it," the Founder of Black Zhou was also enraged, but within the 'Primal Universe,' his strength was suppressed. Both the Master of Gold Horn and the Master of Zi Mo were only slightly weaker than him. Moreover, the divine power and armor of the Master of Gold Horn and the Master of Zi Mo were stronger; they were top-tier figures among the Universe Masters of the Star Beast Alliance and the Prison Clan, respectively.

"Go in."

"Go in."

Emperor Yan, the Master of You Nan, the Master of Jue Feng, the Master of Ming Lian, the Galaxy Leader, the Master of Ice Peak... more than ten Universe Masters besieged the Master of Yuan Ao.

Despair!

The Master of Yuan Ao was completely desperate. The Universe Masters dispatched by the major factions were either skilled at survival or overwhelmingly powerful! The Master of Gold Horn and the Master of Zi Mo alone could contain the Founder of Black Zhou; the combined efforts of the other numerous Universe Masters made sealing the Master of Yuan Ao incredibly easy.

"Ah, ah, ah! You want to kill me, to seize the treasure? Then take it!" The Master of Yuan Ao let out a fierce roar, tearing his hands apart violently. Chiiiii... The Thread Silk Map was instantly ripped apart.

Boom!

It split into dozens of pieces, scattering and flying in all directions, instantly drawing the gaze of the more than ten Universe Masters toward the fragments of the Thread Silk Map.

"If you want it, take it," the Master of Yuan Ao immediately turned and transformed into a streak of light, attempting to flee.
