The transmission of news across the vast Sea of the Universe was notoriously slow. During the First Reincarnation Era, communications were the fastest, yet the intelligence networks of the two great Holy Lands were incredibly formidable. Given that many factions maintained ties with the Purple Moon Holy Land, it was only on the fourth day after the Lord of Wuhun charged into the magma sea—the very next day after the news reached the God-Eye Clan—that the information spread by Yintuo finally reached the Purple Moon Holy Land universe.
The Purple Moon Holy Land was immensely vast and prosperous, teeming with powerful experts.
Purple Moon Cliff was one of the legendary locales of the Purple Moon Clan, a frequent meeting place for their many Universe Masters.
Wisps of cloud and mist drifted under the glow of a purple moon in the sky, rendering the entire Purple Moon Cliff even more serene and cool. Hundreds of figures were scattered about in small groups, engaged in lively discussion. Their extraordinarily long, boundless lifespans afforded them immense leisure; chatting casually for ten thousand years during a single gathering was entirely normal.
“I just received some news! Big news, truly big news!” exclaimed a silver-clad woman with three heads and eight arms.
“What big news is it?”
“Spit it out quickly.”
“That Luo Feng, the Silver Winged Lord from the Original Universe human race, actually managed to hold his own in the God-Destroying Chasm against Yintuo of the First Reincarnation Era, the Lord of Wuhun, and the Lord of Jiu Jian, forcing them all to suffer massive losses when the Molten Lava God appeared! Yintuo was severely injured and suffered heavy losses as a result, while the Lord of Wuhun and the Lord of Jiu Jian were plunged into the magma sea and are rumored to have perished!”
“What!”
“The Lord of Wuhun was incredibly strong. Perished?”
A stir erupted through the crowd.
This prompted the Universe Masters present who had ties with the First Reincarnation Era to immediately begin their inquiries. Soon, they gathered confirmation from multiple sources, and the detailed situation grew increasingly clear.
“I just asked a friend from the God-Eye Clan, and surprisingly, he didn’t know the full details, but the high command of the God-Eye Clan hasn't issued any denial regarding this news!”
“No denial?”
“It seems the news is true.” The message also claimed that Luo Feng possessed a winged ultimate treasure capable of controlling space-time, which was even stronger than the Lord of Wuhun’s Water Wave Prison. Luo Feng’s divine power was weaker than the Lord of Wuhun’s, yet he managed to suppress the Water Wave Prison using his winged ultimate treasure. This suggests the winged treasure truly rivals the Extermination God Armor of the Lord of Wuhun—making it second only to the supreme ultimate treasures.”
“Tsk tsk. Such an ultimate treasure, so special, so rare, and so powerful.”
“Impressive.”
“Haha! It’s a waste for such an ultimate treasure to fall into the hands of a mere junior. Where is that Silver Winged Lord now? I’m going to seize that treasure.”
“Count me in. Let’s go together.”
“Treasures like this should belong to those with the power to wield them.”
The experts of the Purple Moon Holy Land possessed diverse temperaments. While some were disinclined toward combat, others were exceedingly aggressive! Because, having lived for such an infinite lifespan without any limit, yet finding themselves unable to break through to become the strongest in the universe, some Universe Masters had grown extreme, perverse, or even mad.
In a corner of Purple Moon Cliff, a man with short golden hair and only two arms frowned slightly, murmuring softly, “Where is Luo Feng…?”
Swish!
He vanished instantly with a teleportation, leaving the place.
The Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, Realm of the Gods.
The Realm of the Gods was divided into three tiers of worlds. The first tier housed countless Immortal beings; the second tier accommodated a large population of Universe Venerables; only the third tier was home to the Universe Masters.
“Feng Long! Feng Long!” The golden-haired man in black armor shouted directly outside a round, white divine palace.
Outside the palace, servants were numerous, yet none dared to interrupt, for they recognized the caller as a friend of their master, the Lord of Feng Long—the Lord of Panke.
“Panke, why have you come seeking me out?” The great giant Lord of Feng Long, possessing sixteen arms, strode out, laughing heartily.
“Come, come, let’s talk inside,” the Lord of Panke urged.
“Oh?” The Lord of Feng Long showed a hint of confusion.
Inside the hall.
As the Lord of Feng Long took his seat, he immediately asked, “What is the matter?”
“Didn’t you tell me before that in the region you were guarding, you encountered a fellow from the Original Universe, a human named Luo Feng?” the Lord of Panke asked.
“Yes, what about it?” the Lord of Feng Long inquired doubtfully.
“Here is what happened. I just received the news at Purple Moon Cliff.” The Lord of Panke quickly recounted the detailed circumstances, his eyes shining with excitement. “Feng Long, the Flame Water Lake territory is under the jurisdiction of our Purple Moon Holy Land, serving as one of our small gathering points in the inner domain. Including you and me, there are three Universe Masters stationed there. This is a rare, prime opportunity! A special ultimate treasure nearly on par with a supreme ultimate treasure—its value is limitless! Once we acquire it, with that treasure that controls the void, and perhaps one more pinnacle domain ultimate treasure, we would be invincible in terms of void control.”
The Lord of Feng Long was already listening with growing excitement.
“It’s that powerful?” the Lord of Feng Long asked, thrilled.
“If you don’t believe me, ask around. The news is already spreading; other Universe Masters will likely tell you soon enough,” the Lord of Panke asserted. “We must act quickly. The news mentioned the magma sea, and Luo Feng appeared near the Flame Water Lake. It seems undeniable!”
“Indeed.” The Lord of Feng Long nodded solemnly.
“Such rare treasures are hard to come by,” the Lord of Panke sighed.
“We fight for it!” the Lord of Feng Long declared. “An opportunity like this only arises once in endless epochs. If we don't fight now, when will we?”
“Where is Luo Feng now?” the Lord of Panke asked.
“It’s only been a few days; he’s still within the Flame Water Lake region. Based on the location where I last encountered him and the direction he headed when he left, I have a good guess as to his current whereabouts. Let You Ya go intercept him at the first reference coordinate!” the Lord of Feng Long instructed. “You and I should converge on the location as soon as possible.”
Back when Luo Feng first made a name for himself in the (Qingfeng Realm), many experts had learned of his winged ultimate treasure and its control over space-time, which allowed it to suppress top-tier domain ultimate treasures.
While that was valuable, it hadn't previously motivated the Lord of Feng Long to act.
Now, it was different. The Lord of Wuhun had personally used a pinnacle domain ultimate treasure and was still suppressed! Furthermore, Luo Feng’s divine power was clearly weaker, implying that the winged ultimate treasure was instantly elevated to a level of preciousness second only to a supreme ultimate treasure. Supreme ultimate treasures were rare even within the Purple Moon Holy Land, and treasures at the level of the Extermination God Armor or the Silver Winged treasure were also exceedingly uncommon; the Lord of Feng Long certainly didn’t possess one. Such a golden opportunity could not be missed.
The God-Eye Clan’s First Miniature Universe.
“Jiu Jian has fallen. I wonder about Wuhun’s status. Wuhun hasn’t emerged from the divine palace, which truly makes us anxious.”
“Perhaps Wuhun’s true body has perished, or perhaps he is struggling to cling to that sliver of life. No one dares to disturb him.”
“We wait,” they decided.
Dozens of figures gathered, all waiting anxiously. While the Lord of Jiu Jian held only an average status among the Universe Masters, the Lord of Wuhun was unquestionably one of the flag-bearers of the God-Eye Clan. His Extermination God Armor had long been famous. If he truly perished, the loss would be immense, both in terms of clan prestige and treasure.
The boundary between the Magma Sea and the Flame Water Lake was a stretch of void.
The void writhed violently, extreme heat and biting cold intersecting here, causing the space to warp and mist to rise.
Rumble! A ferocious beast tore out of the magma sea and plunged into this distorted void. It possessed thick, powerful limbs, three pairs of wings, and nine tails. It also had five heads: one a bizarre head entangled with vines, another a single-horned lizard radiating oppressive killing intent, and another a dragon head wreathed in flames…
Five heads, a sturdy lion-like body, four limbs, six wings, nine tails—and rolling magma covered its form.
“Roar!” The strange beast tilted its head back and emitted five distinct sounds—some deep, some high-pitched, some hoarse—all filled with madness and elation.
It shook its body, and the magma scattered.
Then, the savage beast rapidly shrank and transformed, finally coalescing into a peculiar divine armor that settled onto a figure: the God-Eye expert, the Lord of Wuhun. The Lord of Wuhun’s eyes were filled with frenzy, and the black scales covering his body showed faint traces, indicating slight damage.
“Aaaarrrggghhhh!” The Lord of Wuhun threw his head back and roared in fury, a sound like thunder that shook the surrounding void, causing the lake water far above to tremble, and the vast magma flow below to ripple violently.
This single roar expelled the madness, anger, tension, and suppression of the past five days.
“I survived.”
“I survived! I, Wuhun, am alive!” The Lord of Wuhun gritted his teeth, his fists clenched, his body trembling slightly. “This hasn’t happened in a very, very long time. Silver Winged Lord Luo Feng, you are ruthless, truly ruthless… to drive me into such a desperate situation, to have my Forbidden Temple destroyed! Fortunately, my Extermination God Armor can transform into the Five Beast Gods using a secret technique, and the Five Beast Gods are sufficient to rival the defense of a pinnacle palace ultimate treasure.”
“My precious Extermination God Armor has sustained minor damage.”
“Though the impact is minimal, this is the Extermination God Armor!” The Lord of Wuhun felt the ache of loss. Nearly all his power resided in this divine armor; his many secret techniques achieved a terrifying level of might only when channeled through it.
“I regret it, I regret it! The moment I saw Luo Feng, I should have gone all out and used the Five Beast Great Extinction immediately!” The Lord of Wuhun was furious and resentful, though he neglected to consider that when he first discovered Luo Feng, the distance between them was too great for a close-range attack. He could only attack through the Water Wave Prison.
“I am alive!”
“I am still alive! Luo Feng, I will show you what true regret is!” The Lord of Wuhun was incandescent with rage. He could not swallow this insult. If he let it go now, the rumors spreading outside would suggest that the Lord of Wuhun feared Luo Feng. He had to personally kill Luo Feng to wash away the humiliation he had suffered.
“Die!” The Lord of Wuhun instantly flipped his hand and took out an oval, disc-shaped flying vessel—the remnant left by the deceased Lord of Jiu Jian, which was also a top-tier palace ultimate treasure.
The Lord of Wuhun quickly entered it.
Whoosh!
The disc-shaped vessel shot into the icy Flame Water Lake.
A graceful Purple Moon Clan woman, possessing three faces—one demonic, one holy, one hazy—and clad in a tight black combat suit, instantly appeared in the void. Immediately following her, a dazzling, emerald-green light descended from the empty sky—it was a domain ultimate treasure.
“Feng Long, Panke, I have reached the second reference coordinate. There was no sign of Luo Feng at the previous coordinate; I hope he is here.”
“I have activated the domain ultimate treasure to scan—it is him! Feng Long, your deduction was correct. The Silver Winged Lord Luo Feng is indeed in this area.” Within the Realm of the Gods of the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, the avatars of the three of them were gathered together.
