The Silk Drawing, after all, was merely a map of the Apex Peak Realm created from specialized materials, and the Lord of Yuan Ao possessed the strength to directly tear apart and destroy ordinary supreme treasures. Thus, the single Silk Drawing instantly shattered into dozens of pieces.

This was quite similar to the black metal slab Luo Feng once possessed, which recorded the Nine Tribulations Secret Tome... Although broken, each fragment of the Silk Drawing still held a portion of the pictorial records.

Assembling the several dozen pieces would yield the complete remnant map of the Apex Peak Realm left behind by Xuan Yuan. "The Silk Drawing!" "Damnable Yuan Ao!" The dozen or so Universe Masters from the major powers were first furious, then immediately scrambled to seize the Silk Drawing fragments.

They understood clearly that even though they were mere fragments, they were remnants left by Xuan Yuan; therefore, even the partial map recorded on the fragments was likely immensely valuable! "Luo Feng, seize the Silk Drawing fragments," Lord of Ice Peak urgently transmitted telepathically.

"Understood." Luo Feng also went into a frenzy. "Don't fight me for it!" Lord of Visceral Demon, whose colossal body bore a white, ferocious face on its chest, roared angrily while attacking the Founder of Black Cosmos.

Ignoring the Founder of Black Cosmos, he lunged toward one of the nearest Silk Drawing fragments—a relatively large piece. "Get lost!" Rumble~~~~ Lord of Visceral Demon gripped a massive long whip and snapped it violently.

The whip instantly extended over a hundred million kilometers, sweeping toward Lord of Nether Lotus of the Bug Race Alliance, who was also attempting to snatch a Silk Drawing fragment. Under this frenzied siege, Lord of Nether Lotus dared not summon his vast numbers of bug race warriors.

"Visceral Demon!" Lord of Nether Lotus’s beautiful face was filled with rage as well. "That one is mine!

You bugs, don't even think about getting it," Lord of Visceral Demon roared as he charged forward. "Boom~~~~ That one is mine!

You go find others." Suddenly, endless ripples began to appear around Lord of Nether Lotus, spreading outward. The powerful impact completely repelled the surrounding 'Endless Light Domain,' naturally pressing down on Lord of Visceral Demon.

"Hmph." The white face on Lord of Visceral Demon’s body roared, and immediately, black waves surged outward from him in all directions. The churning black sea instantly spread, crashing against the surrounding Endless Light Domain and the area of endless ripples.

The Universe Masters from the nine major powers present were all prepared for their trip to the Yuan Ao Secret Realm this time. There were three who possessed supreme domain-type supreme treasures: Lord of Golden Horn, Lord of Nether Lotus, and Lord of Visceral Demon.

Previously, when dealing with Lord of Yuan Ao, Lord of Golden Horn using his peak domain-type supreme treasure alone was sufficient, and they remained united. But now, over the contest for the Silk Drawing...

unity was impossible. Naturally, everyone fought desperately; the stronger individuals were more ambitious, wanting to secure one piece or even several, aiming for the larger fragments of the Silk Drawing...

"You all fight over the Silk Drawing; I don't want it. I only want that Strange Object," the Founder of Black Cosmos growled suddenly.

"Good." "Good." "Founder of Black Cosmos, we won't contend with you." "The Strange Object is yours." "The Strange Object is yours, and the Silk Drawing belongs to us." The powerful figures from all sides instantly breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of sheer strength, the Founder of Black Cosmos absolutely suppressed them.

When they had previously united, they could completely suppress a universe's strongest being, but once they were no longer united... if the Founder of Black Cosmos had intended to seize them, it would have been unlikely for him to take the majority, but securing eight or ten pieces would have been highly probable.

"Hmph," the Founder of Black Cosmos snorted internally. "If that were the complete remnant map of the Apex Peak Realm left by Xuan Yuan, it would surely detail the entire situation from the exterior to the depths.

But now that it’s broken, even if I get ten pieces, they will likely be scattered fragments from various corners, incapable of forming a clear path. Its value is greatly diminished...

It’s better to secure this Strange Object. With the Strange Object in hand, my strength in the Sea of Universe can erupt to another level!" Boom!

The Founder of Black Cosmos rapidly pursued the fleeing Lord of Yuan Ao. Although various factions were currently fighting each other, Lord of Yuan Ao would be deliberately suppressed whether he was in the 'Endless Light Domain,' the 'Endless Ripple Domain,' or the 'Endless Black Water Domain.' Since they had agreed that the Strange Object would go to the Founder of Black Cosmos, they would naturally sell him a favor.

Moreover, Lord of Yuan Ao’s action of shattering the Silk Drawing had already angered these Universe Masters. "Lord of Ice Peak, help me out.

Control your Ice Mountain Palace with all your might," the Founder of Black Cosmos commanded. "Afterward, I will reward you with a peak supreme treasure." "Agreed." Lord of Ice Peak separated a portion of his consciousness to fully control the Ice Mountain Palace, desperately trying to suck Lord of Yuan Ao inside.

As for Lord of Ice Peak himself, naturally, he was like the other Universe Masters, frantically vying for the Silk Drawing fragments. "Lord of Yuan Ao, you have no hope," the Founder of Black Cosmos rapidly closed the distance.

"Damn it." Lord of Yuan Ao’s speed was ridiculously slow. Under the triple restraint of the space binding controlled by the Founder of Black Cosmos, the restraint of the peak domain-type supreme treasure, and the suction of the peak sealing-type supreme treasure...

Lord of Yuan Ao’s speed became pitifully slow, while the Founder of Black Cosmos could maintain extreme speed. "Founder of Black Cosmos, I will hand over the Strange Object to you, just let me go, how about it?" Lord of Yuan Ao urgently transmitted telepathically.

The space around his voice was already distorted by the suction of the Ice Mountain Palace, causing his divine power to dissipate slightly, which alerted Lord of Ice Peak in the distance. "He cannot be spared!

Founder of Black Cosmos, he must die," Lord of Ice Peak communicated constantly from afar. "Kill him." "Kill him." The consciousness of the Universe Masters was immensely powerful.

Even while fully engaged in seizing the Silk Drawing fragments, they also noticed the scene of the Founder of Black Cosmos pursuing and killing Lord of Yuan Ao. It was clear that all factions wished for Lord of Yuan Ao's death.

Once Lord of Yuan Ao perished, their major forces would receive great merit, and their racial powers would obtain rewards from the Original Universe. "The Strange Object goes to me?" the Founder of Black Cosmos inquired.

"Yes, to you, and let me live." Lord of Yuan Ao was anxious. "If I kill you, I get the Strange Object anyway, plus a large amount of other supreme treasures on your body.

And I also gain great merit. Although it’s not that important to me, merit toward the Original Universe is always welcome," the Founder of Black Cosmos laughed heartily.

"Yuan Ao, die." "Merit? What merit?" Lord of Yuan Ao pressed.

"A dying man doesn't need to know so much," the Founder of Black Cosmos charged forward rapidly. …… Because the Founder of Black Cosmos did not involve himself in the nine factions' contest for the Silk Drawing, the scope of the universe space he controlled was narrowed down to the area immediately surrounding him and Lord of Yuan Ao, and it did not affect the other parties at all.

Thus... Luo Feng gained a huge advantage.

"Golden Kingdom!" Luo Feng flapped his wings, and endless, hazy golden light instantly enveloped a region with a radius of a full light-year. Except for the area controlled by the Founder of Black Cosmos, all other areas fell under his control.

"Quite strong control," even the Founder of Black Cosmos glanced remotely at the silver-winged figure amidst the endless shattered space fragments, then immediately resumed dealing with Lord of Yuan Ao. Whoosh whoosh~~~~ Golden waves also spread out, and the Nine Dragon River instantly permeated the surrounding three thousand kilometers.

With the blessing of the 'Golden Kingdom,' the Nine Dragon River was utterly rampant. Apart from the 'Ripple Zone,' the 'Black Water Zone,' and the 'Light Zone'—those three specific areas—the top domain-type supreme treasures used by some other experts were all smashed apart by Luo Feng's Nine Dragon River.

It must be noted that everyone was well aware of the rules. For instance, although Luo Feng's 'Golden Kingdom' covered a vast area, he would absolutely not deliberately cause destruction in other regions.

Because the distance was too far, even if he caused destruction, he wouldn't benefit, and instead, he would offend other experts. And Lord of Golden Horn, Lord of Nether Lotus, and Lord of Visceral Demon, who possessed peak domain-type supreme treasures, also understood their own capabilities, so they used their peak domain-type supreme treasures quite reservedly, rather than destroying the actions of many other experts.

Once they did that, they would become public enemies and face encirclement. "Insolent!" "Luo Feng, you dare to contend with me?

You are courting death!" Emperor Yan roared angrily. A Silk Drawing fragment that was about to fall into his grasp was struck by Luo Feng, shattering his supreme treasure domain and allowing the Nine Dragon River to envelop the fragment.

"Emperor Yan, this treasure belongs to the capable. If you have the ability, come and take it," Luo Feng laughed heartily.

The Silk Drawing fragment, inside the Nine Dragon River, swiftly flew toward Luo Feng. "That's mine." The Nine Dragon River transformed into a streak of light and directly plunged into the river.

Boom~~~ Wielding the Yan God Halberd, Emperor Yan roared, using the halberd to cleave through the endless golden waves, pursuing the Silk Drawing fragment. This startled Luo Feng.

The Silk Drawing was still twenty million kilometers away from him; it would take a long time to fly over. It seemed Emperor Yan could intercept it midway.

"Hmph." Luo Feng held the peak supreme treasure, 'Jue Ke.' Whoosh! He rushed over directly, simultaneously manipulating the Silk Drawing fragment through the Nine Dragon River to intentionally make it curve.

The fragment and himself rapidly closed the distance, and then with a wave of his hand, he quickly stored the Silk Drawing in his world ring. This was the first Silk Drawing fragment he had obtained!

"Hahaha, Emperor Yan, thank you," Luo Feng glanced at Emperor Yan. "We are returning a favor." Emperor Yan’s face was ashen.

Of course, he understood Luo Feng's meaning. Back then, when Luo Feng went to his place to retrieve the 'Jie Armor,' Emperor Yan had secretly released information to attract numerous Universe Venerables and Universe Hegemons to besiege and hunt Luo Feng, nearly costing Luo Feng his life.

Even when Luo Feng finally arrived, Emperor Yan was unwilling to hand over the Jie Armor until Zuo Shan Ke was brought forth to pressure him, forcing Emperor Yan to comply. Emperor Yan’s actions back then were dishonorable; Luo Feng was now settling a score.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Teacher favoring you and allowing you to obtain this powerful, spatial-controlling supreme treasure, you would never have been able to snatch a Silk Drawing fragment from me," Emperor Yan transmitted coldly. "In terms of strength and ability, you are simply no match for me." "Hahaha, if you couldn't grab it, you blame Teacher's favoritism," Luo Feng sneered.

Whoosh! Luo Feng turned and flew away, too lazy to bother with Emperor Yan.

"Insolent!" Emperor Yan's face contorted, then he gritted his teeth and turned toward another Silk Drawing fragment in the distance that seemed most promising to acquire. …… "Suppress!" The Founder of Black Cosmos expended considerable effort, aided by the cooperation of Lord of Ice Peak and the peak domain-type supreme treasure.

Lord of Yuan Ao, heavily wounded, finally flew toward the massive gate of the 'Ice Mountain Palace.' "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!" Lord of Yuan Ao roared madly. "You want me dead?

You want my treasures? Don't think it will be easy for you!

Explode for me!!!" Boom~~~~ The divine body of a Universe Master, millions of kilometers high, contained terrifying divine power. In an instant, he self-destructed...

The might of the self-destruction was so strong that it even surpassed the strongest attack of the Star River Master, reaching the absolute limit constrained by the entire 'Original Universe.' Endless energy waves instantly surged outward in all directions. "Yuan Ao self-destructed." "Protect the Silk Drawing!" "Protect the Silk Drawing fragments!" …… : Happy First Day of the Lunar New Year, may the Year of the Dragon bring great fortune and prosperity~~~~ Fanqie bows to offer New Year greetings~~RO
