From the allied force of the three races, a slender and captivating figure slowly emerged from the colossal purple sphere.

From the ancient warships, two immense beings also flew out, while the oval-shaped black sphere remained utterly motionless.

The mere pressure waves emitted by the sudden appearance of these three supreme powerhouses caused the distortion of space and time to intensify dramatically; distant desert planets and dying stars instantly detonated like fireworks.

On the human faction's side, the hatch of the Tomb Lode Ship opened, and two figures emerged, standing atop the vessel, gazing across the expanse.

"Humph~"

A vast expanse of golden light, mingled with countless drifting, icy grains of sand, permeated every corner of the entire battlefield, enveloping an area spanning ten light-years in diameter—it was the "Golden Dominion" and the "Snow Sand Sea." Although the three-race alliance was formidable, they lacked a Supreme Treasure of the Domain type, leaving them with no recourse but to watch Luo Feng display his might.

"Zhen Yao Zu, Meng Yao Zu, we meet again." Lord Peng Gong gazed toward the opposing formation, his voice booming—amplified by Luo Feng, his words resonated throughout every inch of the domain. "And this must be the Queen of the Bug Race! I've always heard that the Queen fought in the Outer Universe, yet she always hid within the so-called Queen's Nest. Many powerhouses claimed the Bug Race Queen was cowardly and only dared to hide within her palace-type Supreme Treasure. It's rare to see her emerge today; it seems the outside world was wrong—the Bug Race Queen fears death not at all."

The Bug Race Queen possesses a palace-type Supreme Treasure, referred to variously as the "Queen's Nest," the "Queen's Palace," or the "Queen's Hall."

"Peng Gong, you are mistaken; the Bug Race Queen certainly fears death," Luo Feng interjected with a tease. "It's just that the attack power in the Primitive Universe maxes out at the peak of the sixth tier, posing no threat to her life, so naturally, the Queen isn't afraid."

"Oh, I see now," Peng Gong called out.

The two played off each other perfectly.

Immediately, various cheers and roars erupted from the human faction. The three-race alliance was clearly indignant—how dare they mock the Bug Race Queen! Yet, they were helpless, as the entire domain was under Luo Feng's control; even if the alliance called out, their voices could not travel.

"Mechanical God-Father, you don't even have a palace-type Supreme Treasure, so why hide inside that little black sphere?" Lord Peng Gong shouted. "Come out and show yourself. Luo Feng, Dark, and the rest of us Universe Masters haven't seen your true appearance yet."

"He must be too ugly to show his face," Luo Feng added confidently from the side.

Rage.

The three-race alliance was furious. Zhen Yao Zu, Meng Yao Zu, the Bug Race Queen, and the Mechanical God-Father understood this was deliberate provocation, designed to inflame them. But their anger boiled over because their voices were completely suppressed. No matter who among them shouted, Luo Feng's domain forcibly terminated and sealed the transmission.

No talking! No spreading of voices!

On the human side, Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong traded remarks, their voices echoing around every powerhouse in both formations, while the curses and angry shouts from the three-race alliance were entirely blocked, unable to propagate.

"Kill!"

This was too much humiliation; they weren't even permitted a rebuttal.

The first to break was the Mechanical God-Father. The noble Mechanical God-Father, whom every Mechanical Race expert revered to the extreme—a single command from the God-Father would see Mechanical Race Universe Masters obey without question, even unto death. In such an environment, how immense was the Mechanical God-Father's pride? Now, being mocked by Luo Feng and Peng Gong as "ugly," along with other vile words, naturally sent him into a rage.

Since debate was impossible, they would settle it with force!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The colossal, dark, oval sphere suddenly unleashed a series of stooped figures—a full 10,081 stooped forms instantly surged toward the Tomb Lode Ship. Each stooped figure stood nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, forged entirely from metal, possessing eight metallic arms and two legs, their waists perpetually hunched. Their heads were adorned with braids that hung down around them.

"The Mechanical God-Father is enraged," Lord Peng Gong exclaimed in alarm, quickly transmitting to Luo Feng beside him. "This puppet legion of the Mechanical God-Father numbers 10,081! According to our intelligence, when the Mechanical God-Father rampaged through the Outer Universe, his strongest burst deployment only involved 9,000 puppets."

"It’s simple," Luo Feng replied gravely via transmission. "In the Outer Universe, the environment is incredibly harsh and dangerous, and the other supreme beings are difficult to cross. Battles likely resulted in puppet losses! Every single puppet is immensely valuable, more precious than an ordinary Supreme Treasure, so the Mechanical God-Father was reluctant to risk them. But here in the Primitive Universe, the maximum combat strength is only peak sixth tier; he doesn't fear losing puppets, so naturally, he's going all out." Luo Feng focused on the roaring, incoming puppet legion.

Since the two factions were quite far apart, even traveling at near light speed would take some time, so Luo Feng was not in a hurry.

"Mechanical Puppets..." "The Mechanical God-Father is clearly employing the swarm tactics of the ancient civilization's 'Mechanical School'," Luo Feng murmured to himself. Having inherited the legacy of Duan Dong He, he had also studied countless streams of inherited knowledge and understood the Mechanical School intimately. Compared to the Mechanical School of the ancient civilizations, the Mechanical God-Father's methods were still quite 'low-end.'

Because the Mechanical God-Father cannot create excessively powerful machines, he must compensate with sheer 'quantity'! Since the Mechanical School possesses replicability, swarm tactics are suitable.

However, truly high-end existences in the Mechanical School's elite branches typically create single, immensely powerful mechanized artifacts, like the "Tomb Lode Ship" or even the "Universe Boats"!

"Although they are low-end,"

"In the ancient civilizations, powerful beings could sweep them away easily. But in the Outer Universe, especially the Primitive Universe, I genuinely have no defense against this. The Mechanical God-Father is a life-form evolved from intelligence, and he can execute swarm tactics to the absolute extreme."

Luo Feng rubbed his temples. He could tell at a glance.

The materials used for these 10,081 mechanical puppets were extremely rare, likely materials at the level of a peak Supreme Treasure! Although the material cost per puppet wasn't huge (the puppets themselves are small, capable of scaling up or down under divine power activation, like the Tomb Lode Ship or Supreme Treasures), the cumulative value was nearing that of a single Ultimate Supreme Treasure.

Fighting them is futile.

Absorbing them with the Star Tower? The Black Prison Tower? Under the Mechanical God-Father's full control, all 10,081 puppets could move as one, merging their power, easily breaking free from any suction force. If absorption were simple, the Mechanical God-Father wouldn't rely on this method in the Outer Universe, having suffered almost no losses to his puppets.

"Enter the Dark Universe," Luo Feng transmitted.

"Agreed," Lord Peng Gong echoed, and the Dark Lord in the distance also received the message.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Tomb Lode Ship and the Black Prison Tower simultaneously accelerated to light speed, plunging directly into the Dark Universe.

"I knew they would enter the Dark Universe," Zhen Yao Zu roared. "Enter the Dark Universe!" Ah, their voices could finally propagate!

The Dark Universe.

The speed of Universe's Strongest Beings can instantly reach ten or even a hundred times the speed of light. Fighting in the Original Universe space was thus a significant disadvantage for the human faction, who lacked any Universe's Strongest Beings. Naturally, they chose the Dark Universe, and moreover, in the Dark Universe, during a critical moment in battle, they could stop movement and instantly return to the Original Universe.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Less than a second after Luo Feng, Lord Peng Gong, and the others entered the Dark Universe, the vast puppet legion appeared.

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~" Every mechanical puppet emitted a roar, simultaneously channeling their burning divine power for manipulation. Just like how Luo Feng and the others controlled their mental weapons...

This is how the Mechanical God-Father controls his puppet legion! As the singular supreme being who has reached the zenith of intelligence, his ability for multitasking is unrivaled across the Outer Universe!

Intelligent life-forms like Babata had their calculation capabilities pushed to the extreme even when weak. Once they became Immortal, their computational power far surpassed Immortals of other races. Let alone the unique Mechanical God-Father; even utilizing just one percent of his control ability would exceed the manipulation capacity of most general Universe's Strongest Beings.

Consequently, all 10,081 puppets seemed to possess their own souls, rapidly dividing into two squads to surround and attack Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong.

"Boom~~"

Approximately 5,000 puppets struck Luo Feng almost simultaneously with perfectly executed punches, blending their power into a single, vast torrent capable of devastating heaven and earth. The sheer force made Luo Feng's expression change; he dared not resist head-on. Although his armor was the God-Slaying Annihilation Armor, his physical body was still hundreds of times weaker than other "top-tier Universe Masters."

"Block!" Luo Feng didn't even have time to retreat into the Tomb Lode Ship. He instantly enlarged the Blood Shadow Blade in his hand, turning it into a massive cleaver to stand guard before him.

"Break!" Lord Peng Gong, not far away, roared and swung his Yan Jun Rod, meeting offense with offense.

Boom! Boom!

Both were struck and pushed back several steps while still anchored to the Tomb Lode Ship. In terms of defense, the armor formed by Lord Peng Gong's extending Yan Jun Rod was in no way inferior to the God-Slaying Annihilation Armor. Coupled with Lord Peng Gong being a Universe Master with a ten-thousand-times gene level, his physical defense was actually slightly superior to Luo Feng's!

"Hmm, while the power is strong, it's not as monstrous as anticipated," Lord Peng Gong transmitted to Luo Feng. "Just taking the attack from about 5,000 puppets, it doesn't feel like peak sixth tier." If it were a peak sixth-tier attack, Luo Feng and he should have been violently flung backward, not just forced back a few steps.

"It's not as strong as we imagined. It probably takes all ten thousand-plus puppets combined to equal peak sixth tier," Luo Feng transmitted back. "It seems this is the suppression of the Primitive Universe! If they could each exert their maximum power purely through multitasking, then the Primitive Universe's restrictions would effectively be useless."

"It seems the threat of swarm tactics is limited," Lord Peng Gong also breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
