The twelve Universe Masters of the demon race, moments ago brimming with fighting spirit and confidence, were instantly struck by a series of heavy blows. As the imposing black pyramid hovered high above, emitting waves of dark ripples that spread outwards, these ripples effortlessly pierced their armor and divine bodies, beginning to affect their souls.
"What's happening? I feel... I feel drained."
"My focus... I can't concentrate my will."
Lord Mie Jin and the other demon Universe Masters sensed immediate danger. This technique, "Darkness Submergence," was a wide-area attack. Since it struck all twelve of them simultaneously, it didn't cause them to completely sink, but the pervasive weakness and inability to concentrate their will meant that even as they bit down and frantically burned their divine power to fight, they felt they could only utilize half their true strength!
"No fighting spirit!"
"My will is affected too."
"This state is unbearable."
Just as they were suffering immensely, endless, hazy golden light and snow-white grains of sand began to drift across the surrounding ten-light-year expanse. If "Darkness Submergence" was an attack on the spiritual and conscious level that severely hampered their power, then the combination of the "Golden Kingdom" and the "Sea of Snow Sand" constituted a massive physical restraint! It was as if countless ropes were coiling around each and every one of their Universe Masters.
"It's a Domain!"
"What about Luo Feng's Domain? Why are his silver wings still out?"
"Weren't his silver wings lost in the Ninth Abyss? How are they—" The domains belonging to these Universe Masters were easily shattered by this onslaught. Within this ten-light-year radius, everything was the cold, snow-white sand drifting under the endless golden light. This restraint caused their combat strength to plummet again.
Darkness Submergence and Domain Restraint—these two techniques combined meant that, on average, the twelve demon Universe Masters could only exert thirty percent of their fighting power! Those whose wills had reached the level of "Universe Supreme Master," such as Lord Mie Jin, were less affected, retaining sixty to seventy percent of their power. As for those on the weaker side, like Lord Tian Lang, their effective strength might have dwindled to a mere one or two percent.
"Lord Peng Gong, Lord Dark, join forces against those twelve Universe Masters," Luo Feng transmitted instantly through the Domain. "Ancestor Meng Yao, leave that one to me!"
"Understood."
"Understood."
Luo Feng stood at the very front edge of the colossal Tomb-Lair Ship and charged directly toward the twelve demon Universe Masters. Meanwhile, Ancestor Meng Yao roared and thrashed, whipping its colossal body to strike the "Black Prison Tower," attempting to force Lord Dark to cease the "Darkness Submergence" technique. But at that moment, "Luo Feng!" Ancestor Meng Yao's gigantic snake head saw the Tomb-Lair Ship hurtling toward it. It knew things were dire; its twelve Universe Masters were already severely compromised. If they were now besieged by Luo Feng, Lord Peng Gong, and the others, what hope remained?
"Get out of the way!"
Its towering, immense body, due to its sheer size, could easily attack the Black Prison Tower, Lord Peng Gong, and the Tomb-Lair Ship. With a single flick of its tail, it lashed out at the Tomb-Lair Ship.
"Come on!" Luo Feng, standing on the ship's deck, felt a surge of excitement. The Tomb-Lair Ship, which had been charging toward the twelve Universe Masters, suddenly shifted course.
Boom—
The Tomb-Lair Ship began to inflate violently. In moments, it expanded from hundreds of billions of kilometers to trillions, reaching a size comparable to Ancestor Meng Yao's body. Back in the Yan Ice Domain, when attacked by the supreme ultimate move formed by the five True Masters of the Divine Eye Race—the "Eternal True God"—Luo Feng had survived precisely by having the Tomb-Lair Ship rapidly expand, shattering that Eternal True God. This Tomb-Lair Ship, a treasure of ancient mechanical civilization, was superior to even a Supreme True Treasure in terms of brute power and momentum.
Clang, clang, clang— A gigantic warship met a colossal silver serpent.
Both were approximately one light-year in size. These two behemoths collided directly in the silent expanse of space.
"Roar—" Ancestor Meng Yao shrieked, but it quickly realized grappling with the Tomb-Lair Ship was an utterly foolish endeavor. The ship's momentum barely faltered, sending the entire silver serpent flying backward.
"Luo Feng!!!" Ancestor Meng Yao suddenly cried out in fury.
Because just as the Tomb-Lair Ship expanded, Luo Feng had abruptly vanished from it, dashing toward the twelve waiting demon Universe Masters! His unfurled, gigantic silver wings flashed like dazzling blades, whistling as he dove toward the twelve foes.
Luo Feng had originally planned to engage Ancestor Meng Yao alongside the Tomb-Lair Ship, but upon seeing that Meng Yao hadn't reduced its volume and seemed prepared to meet the ship head-on with its massive size, Luo Feng instead redirected his assault toward the twelve Universe Masters, leaving a mere divine power avatar to control the Tomb-Lair Ship.
The Tomb-Lair Ship was easy to control mechanically. Duan Donghe had died long ago; even a virtual consciousness could pilot it. As long as Luo Feng provided some divine power, the control exerted would naturally be significant.
The twelve demon Universe Masters were instantly plunged into desperation.
Darkness Submergence, Domain Restraint!
And then Luo Feng, Lord Peng Gong, and Lord Dark all charged in. Who knew if the latent human Universe Masters waiting nearby would join the fray? The enemy possessed a Supreme True Treasure, especially the "Black Prison Tower," which was perfectly capable of suppressing and sealing them.
"Hide inside quickly!"
"Get into the ship."
The twelve demon Universe Masters dared not resist recklessly and immediately retreated into their massive vessel.
"Demon Ancestor!"
"Demon Ancestor!"
"Demon Ancestor!" The twelve Universe Masters cried out for aid. Individually, they were no match for any human, but who could have predicted that the human side possessed a Supreme True Treasure? Their disadvantage regarding Supreme True Treasures placed them at a total loss the moment the fight began.
"Roar—" Ancestor Meng Yao, which had been at a disadvantage in the initial clash with the Tomb-Lair Ship, raised its serpentine head and howled. It understood clearly that entangling with the Tomb-Lair Ship was foolish. After that single collision, though unwilling, it immediately changed its strategy. Its divine body rapidly shrank!
From a giant one light-year long, it swiftly transformed into a silver serpent merely one hundred thousand kilometers in length.
It had grown so massive initially to use sheer size to intimidate the entire formation of human powerhouses! Then, the twelve demon Universe Masters would join forces to sweep through the human contingent. But reality had mocked it. The enemy's Tomb-Lair Ship and Black Prison Tower—equivalent to two Supreme True Treasure Palaces—made its initial plan impossible.
Whoosh!
Having shrunk into a silver serpent only one hundred thousand kilometers long, Ancestor Meng Yao’s speed immediately skyrocketed, instantly shattering the light-speed limit. It was impossible to observe with the naked eye; only through divine power and Domain sensing could one detect that terrifying velocity.
"This is a Universe Supreme Master!" Luo Feng, Lord Peng Gong, and Lord Dark sighed inwardly.
They had already planned for this before the battle, never expecting to eliminate the demon race so easily. Ancestor Meng Yao alone, once it shrank, possessed an irresistible speed that transcended light, impossible to bind. It could instantaneously arrive at any critical location on the battlefield.
"Get aside!"
The silver serpent roared and slammed directly into the Black Prison Tower. Rumble— The Black Prison Tower tumbled and was thrown far away.
Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong hadn't even reached the giant vessel yet.
"Too fast," Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong exchanged glances.
The silver serpent, Ancestor Meng Yao, after blasting the Black Prison Tower aside, immediately hovered in mid-air. The twelve Universe Masters emerged from the giant ship and landed on Ancestor Meng Yao’s neck, each maintaining a divine body roughly ten thousand kilometers long.
"Humans!" Ancestor Meng Yao’s icy eyes swept over the surroundings. "I underestimated you. However, without a single Universe Supreme Master on your side, the control of this battle remains entirely in my hands! Now, I have decided to deal with you one by one, slowly." Ancestor Meng Yao’s gaze settled upon Lord Peng Gong. "The first one is you!" Whoosh!
Ancestor Meng Yao moved instantly, its speed terrifyingly fast. Lord Peng Gong roared, and the Yan Jun Rod in his hand swelled violently, reaching millions of kilometers in size, sweeping out with majestic force—shattering space-time as the Yan Jun Rod directly collided with Ancestor Meng Yao’s tail. Meng Yao was jolted backward, and Lord Peng Gong was also pushed back slightly.
"If we were in the Original Universe Sea, you would never be my match!" Ancestor Meng Yao roared in anger. "Attack with everything!"
"Yes, Ancestor."
"Yes."
"Die, Peng Gong."
"Die!"
The demon Universe Masters on its neck simultaneously attacked. In an instant, remote psychic weapon attacks, oversized battle blades slashing from a distance, forceful soul assaults, and illusionary attacks descended upon the distant Lord Peng Gong all at once.
"Darkness Submergence!" The returning Black Prison Tower once again released endless black ripples, intending to affect the twelve Universe Masters.
"Suppress!" Luo Feng uttered a low shout.
The Golden Kingdom and the Sea of Snow Sand simultaneously pressed down.
"Break it all!" Ancestor Meng Yao roared. Its divine power surged violently, causing the surrounding space-time to twist and vibrate repeatedly. These powerful divine shocks impacted again and again, forcibly pushing back the encroaching "Golden Kingdom" and "Sea of Snow Sand," even suppressing the black ripples.
The twelve Universe Masters remained completely unaffected.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! In that instant, their combined attacks landed on Lord Peng Gong. Although he desperately used the Yan Jun Rod to block the numerous assaults, he was still staggered and dazed. After all, when these twelve Universe Masters truly acted without restraint in unison, the combat power they unleashed was even more terrifying than that of a single Universe Supreme Master!
"Hahahaha, you are the first to fall!" Ancestor Meng Yao shrieked, accelerating to an almost horrifying speed, diving straight toward Lord Peng Gong.
It, Ancestor Meng Yao, and its twelve subordinate demon Universe Masters—once they joined forces! Even Lord Peng Gong, possessing the Yan Jun Rod, faced only the path of being suppressed and sealed!
