The Universe Master who stepped forward, named Lord Huang Ke, was actually a native of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land’s universe. However, he possessed the ability of avatars, and from his prior observation of Lord Xi Huang engaging in discussions with other clan members, he noticed… his comprehension speed was noticeably slower. Thus, when this matter arose, he was willing to step forward to contribute to the clan.
“Seventh True Master, that Ice Cliff Fortress…” Lord Huang Ke stood aside, waiting for the Seventh True Master to produce the Ultimate Supreme Treasure.
Dozens of Universe Masters present also watched this scene unfold.
“Ha ha, just handing it over directly? Do you take my Divine Eye Clan for fools?” The Seventh True Master sneered, glancing at Lord Huang Ke. “After all, this is an Ultimate Supreme Treasure. If you take it, and Duan Donghe cannot reclaim this Ultimate Supreme Treasure, yet you insist on not returning it, what then? So, I have a suggestion… Your Eastern Emperor Holy Land can offer an Ultimate Supreme Treasure, or offer some Peak Supreme Treasures in my keeping. After dealing with that Human Galaxy, we can exchange treasures.”
“Hmph, if that Ultimate Supreme Treasure is taken by Duan Donghe, will you return it?” Lord Huang Ke said coldly.
“Those Peak Supreme Treasures are of no use to me either,” the Seventh True Master transmitted via voice transmission, his words echoing in every expert’s mind. “An Ultimate Supreme Treasure that risks being seized by Duan Donghe, mortgaged with numerous Peak Supreme Treasures—is that not acceptable? Moreover, this inheritance carries a risk of death for all of us… especially for us Universe Masters, as we have no avatars; once killed, it is a complete demise. Do you still think I would swallow it?”
“How precious is my Ice Cliff Fortress? Choose or not, that’s up to you,” the Seventh True Master sneered. “If there’s no sincerity, I’ll directly demand an Ultimate Supreme Treasure from you.”
The Eastern Emperor Holy Land had over ten Universe Masters!
And the quality selected this time was clearly extremely high; they were absolute elites within the Eastern Emperor Holy Land. Among the Universe Masters who arrived, there were actually two possessing an ‘Ultimate Supreme Treasure’! The Purple Moon Holy Land, including Lord Lu Chong, also had two Universe Masters possessing Ultimate Supreme Treasures.
It was just that the Seventh True Master’s Ultimate Supreme Treasure was in danger of being lost… so the Eastern Emperor Holy Land was naturally unwilling to use an Ultimate Supreme Treasure as collateral.
“Fine, let’s do it this way!”
“We agree.”
The Divine Eye Clan and the Eastern Emperor Holy Land swiftly exchanged items. The Divine Eye Clan picked and chose, ultimately selecting 8 Peak Grade-A treasures, three of which could even rival the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor. This demonstrated the deep reserves of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land.
“This is the Ice Cliff Fortress,” the Seventh True Master waved his hand.
A towering iceberg manifested in the air, upon whose cliff edge sat an exquisitely crafted fortress. This Ice Cliff Fortress was truly a work of art… the iceberg was crystalline and translucent, the fortress magnificent and breathtaking… radiating endless chill.
Lord Huang Ke’s eyes burned with desire. He nodded slightly and immediately proceeded to attempt to recognize it as his master.
In the corridor, the Star Tower, shaped like a ‘Blood-Colored Tower,’ remained still and quiet.
Inside the control room.
Luo Feng had been cautiously observing the outside world, but because the powerful experts outside were deliberately communicating via divine power transmission, Luo Feng was unaware of their plans. It was only when those experts started producing treasures one after another, and the Seventh True Master unveiled the Ice Cliff Fortress… that Luo Feng immediately guessed their intention.
“Ice Cliff Fortress? The renowned Ultimate Supreme Treasure of the Seventh True Master?” Luo Feng’s expression shifted slightly, his pupils contracting. “It seems they intend to use a sealing palace-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure to capture my Star Tower.”
Ultimate Supreme Treasure versus Ultimate Supreme Treasure.
Who was stronger, who held the advantage? Without a direct comparison, it was difficult to deduce.
“The Star Tower’s power is immense; it remained in the Primal Universe for so long, and no one could seize it,” Luo Feng mused. “But that was only in the Primal Universe… the Star Tower has never competed against this Ice Cliff Fortress.”
“If he can take it, then I am finished.”
“If he cannot take it… while I might be safe, the Star Tower will be exposed. If even the Ice Cliff Fortress can’t seize it, everyone will know that this Blood-Colored Tower must be an Ultimate Supreme Treasure.” Luo Feng’s mind raced through countless possibilities.
“What to do? What to do? What to do?” Luo Feng frowned deeply, thinking urgently.
Regardless of whether it could be seized or not, the situation was disadvantageous to him.
Luo Feng’s gaze was fixed outside as he thought rapidly.
“Hm?” Luo Feng’s eyes suddenly fell upon the crystal pillars and stone pillars, and his eyes instantly lit up. “Good, let’s do this.”
Just as Lord Huang Ke was attempting to claim the Ice Cliff Fortress, the Blood-Colored Tower, which had been quiet nearby, suddenly shot out with a whoosh, quickly flying above a crystal pillar. The base of the Blood-Colored Tower indented, then plunged down fiercely, directly encasing the crystal pillar within it.
The Blood-Colored Tower rapidly elongated, and with a peng, it smashed against the corridor ceiling.
The base embedded the crystal pillar, while the top pressed against the corridor wall.
“Ha ha, you think this helps?” Lord Huang Ke, holding the Ice Cliff Fortress, laughed loudly, then violently hurled the Ice Cliff Fortress in his hand. Burning his divine power, he activated it, and immediately the entire Ice Cliff Fortress began to hover, angling towards the Blood-Colored Tower.
Boom~~
The Ice Cliff Fortress instantly unleashed an incredibly powerful suction force, directly acting upon the Star Tower, causing the Blood-Colored Tower to tremble and shake with a wum wum wum. Although it seemed on the verge of success, it was clearly still short.
“How can this be?” Lord Huang Ke exclaimed in shock and anger, looking at the Seventh True Master.
“It’s impossible that it can’t suck it in, unless his is also an Ultimate Supreme Treasure,” the Seventh True Master frowned, shaking his head.
“No.”
The gloomy-faced Divine Eye Clan member frowned, then suddenly spoke. “It’s not that it’s not an Ultimate Supreme Treasure, but that the Human Galaxy suddenly moved his treasure and embedded it with that crystal pillar. Don't forget, Wood Clan member… that crystal pillar was left by Duan Donghe, completely connected to the Tomb Lair Boat. To suck in and suppress this human’s treasure… it will inevitably cause the crystal pillar to snap.”
“Ah, this, this… only… This has never happened before.”
“How could…”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Luo Feng, in the control room of the Star Tower, smiled.
The Star Tower was inherently a sealing treasure, so its base position could split open a massive void to swallow everything. Furthermore, coupled with the effect of the Blood Cloud Orb, it could also change its shape. Now that the Star Tower’s base was firmly locked onto the crystal pillar, even if the Star Tower wasn't an Ultimate Supreme Treasure… for the opponent to seize the Star Tower, they would have to separate the Star Tower from the crystal pillar.
Either the Star Tower’s base must shatter, or the crystal pillar must shatter, or they must be sucked in along with the crystal pillar.
But clearly, those stone pillars and crystal pillars left by Duan Donghe were indestructible and unmovable, incredibly stable.
“This situation almost never happens,” Luo Feng muttered softly. “When other experts are subjected to suction, they usually can only rely on burning their divine power to resist. If they hide inside a palace, they can only rely on the resistance capability of their own palace treasure.”
“This is because it is rare to encounter objects that even Ultimate Supreme Treasures cannot shake.”
“And such objects are rare in the Three Great Forbidden Zones.”
Indeed, this was the case. In the Three Great Forbidden Zones, in places filled with lava, fierce winds, or lakes, if one was subjected to suction, there might be nothing to cling to. It was much like an ordinary person being caught in a hurricane and clinging to a tree; only if the tree breaks or the person’s arm loosens can they be swept away.
And for some Super Experts, they were too strong; they had nothing to cling to! Even in the Three Great Forbidden Zones, objects that even Universe Masters could not destroy or shake were rare—the Tomb Lair Boat? The Black Patterned Stone Pillars? etc., were very rare. Even the Black Patterned Stone Pillars could not be approached.
As for the Abyss of Time and the Mountain of Flowing Weight, most were natural environments. Rocks and the like could shatter under random attacks, naturally making it impossible to secure a hold.
Therefore, immovable objects that experts could ‘cling to’ were rare.
However, Luo Feng and the others were currently inside the Tomb Lair Boat! Even the ordinary ground of the Tomb Lair Boat could withstand the attacks of a Universe Master! Those stone pillars and crystal pillars were even more indestructible, having been personally left by Duan Donghe for inheritance trials.
This kind of situation was almost impossible to encounter, but by chance, they were in the Tomb Lair Boat this time, and by chance, an expert was using a sealing palace Ultimate Supreme Treasure to swallow.
Thus, this event occurred. The experts present were not fools; they couldn't believe it at first, but they quickly understood the underlying secret.
“Damn it.”
“What a lucky fellow.”
“Although Ultimate Supreme Treasures are strong, the suction force alone cannot possibly break that crystal pillar. Nor can it shatter a Peak Grade-A Supreme Treasure. It seems there truly is no way.”
“Ah, that crystal pillar the Human Galaxy is attached to is the one he uses himself! Even if he hides inside forever, he can demonstrate the Xi Huang Game within the crystal pillar at any time!” The experts all realized the truth, gnashing their teeth in fury, but what could they do?
“Alas!”
“There’s no way to solve him permanently.”
“Lord Huang Ke, return the Ice Cliff Fortress to me,” the Seventh True Master spoke. Lord Huang Ke hesitated slightly, exchanged a look with the other experts, and finally swapped treasures back with the Seventh True Master, retrieving the Eastern Emperor Holy Land’s treasures from earlier.
The situation having reached this point made the three major factions furious.
“Since there is no other way, we must use the only clumsy method.”
“Attack it!”
“Material attack, soul attack! Attack again and again… This is just a Peak Palace Treasure; perhaps it resists material attacks better, but it certainly won't resist soul attacks. Once the soul is attacked, I don’t believe he can still focus on comprehending the Xi Huang Game! We might even annihilate his soul.”
“Good.”
“Attack together.” Immediately, those seven Universe Masters resumed attacking Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng was now hiding inside the Star Tower, an unmoving target, allowing them to attack at will.
“Ah.”
“The soul attack cannot penetrate at all. His palace treasure is extremely special; it must be formed from a special material. The etherealized divine power cannot infiltrate, and it can sever all soul attacks.” Soon, these seven Universe Masters discovered this fact.
Some materials do impede etherealized divine power. For example, the Robe of Calamity… can weaken all soul attacks to one-tenth. The Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor… can weaken all soul attacks to one-hundredth. As for the Tomb Lair Boat, it completely seals soul attacks.
The Star Tower, or even a stronger supreme treasure.
If kept inside the body, it can guard the soul. But if kept outside, with the user hiding within, the Star Tower can easily block all soul attacks. As for material attacks? Some impact force might transmit inside, as no Ultimate Supreme Treasure can completely sever the impact force… but under the protection of the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, the material attack cannot break the treasure, so the impact force becomes negligible.
“This treasure can actually sever soul attacks!”
“Truly a supreme treasure, second only to an Ultimate Supreme Treasure.”
“Damn it.”
“Then material attacks!”
“It’s just a Peak Grade-A Supreme Treasure. Under the shockwave of the impact, I don’t believe he can maintain his composure while comprehending the Xi Huang Game.” The seven Universe Masters, maddened by frustration and having no other options, furiously attacked the Star Tower again and again with their treasures, repeatedly chopping and hammering the Star Tower with their treasures, causing it to tremble repeatedly.
Of course, the trembling was feigned.
The tremors from being sucked in earlier were all disguises. This level of attack was insufficient to even scratch the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, the Star Tower.
