The Black Prison Tower and the Empress Palace, two supreme treasures of the palace type, both erupted with terrifying suction power.
The Universe Masters from both factions flew into a complete frenzy.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Both sides were locked in a head-on clash.
The allied army of the three races boasted 112 Universe Masters, swelling to over 120 divine bodies when factoring in their clones!
The human faction, on the other hand, had 92 Universe Masters (including the Dark Master), also totaling over 100 with their clones!
With so many Universe Masters gathered, countless attacks converged, causing the energy level to continuously transform and surge! The might of both sides' attacks reached a level nearly comparable to Tier 8, while the Universe's Strongest were only at the peak of Tier 6. Anyone struck by these blows would surely be flung far away.
"Kill!"
"Slay these demon race, bug race, and mechanical race scum!"
"I haven't properly fought the Bug Race yet! So many Universe Masters attacking together—this, this is truly exhilarating!" One Universe Master after another felt their blood boil with excitement.
When hundreds of divine bodies unleashed their techniques simultaneously, the area spanning millions of kilometers before them completely transformed into an "energy domain." Even the Universe's Strongest, burning their divine power to cause it to steam, could only push back the nearby "Golden Kingdom"—the Sea of Sand—within a small radius.
Let alone the combined might of these hundreds of Universe Masters.
"Boom~~" "Boom~~" The enemy's frenzied attacks were violently consumed upon entering this energy domain.
Be it divine power attacks! Soul attacks! Illusory attacks!
Everything was directly worn down by the collective assault before it could even touch the Universe Masters.
"Too powerful. Our combined strength as Universe Masters is truly formidable. Even the Universe's Strongest mean little now." "A top-tier supreme treasure, subjected to our combined strike, would probably shatter."
"Of course it would shatter. Earlier, one of the idiots in the three-race allied army sent a slash of light slicing through the void—that top-tier supreme treasure saber was instantly pulverized."
Exhilaration.
The Universe Masters on both sides fought with intense satisfaction.
They were, after all, merely Universe Masters. When else could they unleash such terrifying might? They could even force the Universe's Strongest to step aside. This kind of overwhelming, world-shattering attack was undeniably intoxicating.
The attacks unleashed by both sides either resisted and were ground down within the surrounding "energy domains" immediately after being launched, or they charged out of their energy domains to engage the enemy forces... only to be worn down within the enemy's energy domain.
Though the human faction totaled slightly over 100 bodies, they were fewer than the three-race allied army.
Their main focus was defense over offense!
But at the very least, maintaining their defensive perimeter was not an issue.
"Let us combine our attacks," the Mechanical Race Father God immediately transmitted telepathically. "Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong are cowardly hiding in the Tomb Ship. Since they won't come out, we will focus our attacks on that group of Universe Masters! Zhen Jiao, Meng Cha, Empress, we attack together to support our Universe Masters." "Agreed." "If we join forces, the might of our assault will surely break through Tier 8, perhaps even higher." "Let's seize this chance to slay some Universe Masters; we will definitely win this battle."
The four Universe's Strongest made their decision in an instant.
In the dark universe void, the tens of thousands of mechanical puppets, though encircling the Tomb Ship, could not harm it. The entire puppet legion suddenly ignored the ship, instead roaring and opening their mouths to spew out arcs of flowing light. These tens of thousands of arcs merged with each other.
Finally, they converged into a single, razor-sharp arc of light.
Swish!
The arc swept toward the Black Prison Tower.
"Go!" The shell-covered beast, 'Zhen Yao Zu' (Vibration Demon Ancestor), roared, launching a pointed dark storm directly at the Black Prison Tower.
"Humans!" Meng Yao Zu (Dream Demon Ancestor) shrieked, and a streak of cyan light shot from the gigantic serpent's mouth.
"Hmph!" As the human Universe Masters attacked the Empress Palace relentlessly, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared there as well.
In that moment, all four Universe's Strongest attacked simultaneously.
Each Universe's Strongest was equivalent to 10 Universe Masters. The simultaneous action of the four propelled the three-race allied army's power from 120 divine bodies instantly soaring to the equivalent of 160 divine bodies! After mixing in the attacks of the four Strongest, the energy underwent another transformation, completely surpassing Tier 8.
"Rumble~~" Endless attacks descended.
The "energy domain" of the human faction's Universe Masters was instantly compressed to one-tenth of its previous area. The ferocious assault even prevented the human faction's Universe Masters' attacks from breaking out of the energy domain! They could only scramble desperately to defend.
"Too strong." "We can't hold." "If this continues, something is bound to go wrong. If a flaw or gap appears in our defense, allowing that violent attack to sweep in, Universe Masters will certainly perish."
"We can't let this go on." The human faction panicked.
They were thrown into disarray!
Facing an overwhelming offensive, 100 divine bodies had to directly withstand the might generated by 160 divine bodies... remembering that the more powerful entities there are, the greater the multiplier effect on their strength, the gap in power was estimated to be as much as two or three times. This forced the human side into a desperate holding action.
"Under this pressure, even if no gaps appear, just the consumption of divine bodies—once we lose 50% of our bodies, our strength drops by nine-tenths! As divine bodies are depleted, our combat power will continuously weaken, while the three-race allied army has four Strongest who can easily maintain peak Tier 6 combat power through a war of attrition, no matter how long it drags on."
The Universe Masters of the human faction, being who they were, were not foolish and understood the perilous situation.
Inside the Tomb Ship.
Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong had just admired the clash between the Universe Masters of the two factions when they saw the four Strongest join the fray...
"Luo Feng! Peng Gong! If you don't move now, we're going to have problems over there," the Dark Master urgently transmitted.
"It's only just started, it's not that bad yet," Peng Gong transmitted back. "How long has it been fighting? Our Universe Masters' divine bodies shouldn't have suffered much consumption yet."
"Stop the nonsense," the Dark Master grew anxious. "Try holding this position! The power of the enemy's attack is too immense; if we fail to defend, Universe Masters will die. If the fighting drags on, our resistance will weaken as divine bodies are lost. Luo Feng, when do we counterattack?"
"Peng Gong, let's go together!" Luo Feng frowned and commanded directly.
"Fine." Peng Gong's eyes narrowed, flashing with ferocity.
Boom~~ The speed of the Tomb Ship suddenly surged, charging directly toward the distant three-race allied army. The imposing Tomb Ship caused the mechanical puppets to dare not obstruct it. Seeing it charge, the previously arrogant Mechanical Race Father God immediately halted the puppet legion's assault.
"Zhen Jiao, Meng Cha, Empress, you continue attacking the human faction's Universe Masters. As for Luo Feng and Peng Gong, leave them to me," the Mechanical Race Father God transmitted.
"Understood."
"Mechanical, hold off those two."
"Be careful of Luo Feng; he inherited the lineage of the Duan Dong River and might possess a wondrous treasure."
The Mechanical Race Father God transmitted, "Rest assured, I have never let my guard down."
The ten thousand mechanical puppets surrounded the Tomb Ship as its speed accelerated to a hundred times, then several hundred times the speed of light. Just as the entire Tomb Ship was about to collide with the black elliptical sphere...
Whoosh~~
The Tomb Ship vanished into thin air, and Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong appeared in mid-air.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
As soon as they materialized, both unleashed their attacks simultaneously.
"Break!!!" Luo Feng wielded the Blood Shadow Saber, which frantically enlarged. It swiftly expanded from its previous length of tens of thousands of kilometers to over a hundred million kilometers, becoming proportionally massive towards the tip, while the hilt remained small. This colossal Blood Shadow Saber completely ignored the mechanical puppets and cleaved towards the converged Zhen Yao Zu and Meng Yao Zu!
"Bug Race Empress, brace for a heavy blow!" Lord Peng Gong’s Yan Jun Staff also expanded dramatically, stabbing fiercely toward the distant Empress Palace!
One saber slash, one staff thrust!
Neither of them paid attention to the mechanical puppets; their targets were Zhen Yao Zu, Meng Yao Zu, and the Empress Palace.
Zhen Yao Zu, Meng Yao Zu, and the Bug Race Empress were beings of immense stature. They clearly understood that the key to victory lay with the Universe Masters on both sides. Thus, they ignored the attacks from Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong, continuing to pour down their power onto the Black Prison Tower and the human faction's Universe Masters.
Did the Blood Shadow Saber injure Zhen Yao Zu and Meng Yao Zu?
If a peak Tier 6 attack could harm a Universe's Strongest, that would be a joke. It only managed to shake the two strongest beings back slightly.
"Ignore those two humans," Zhen Yao Zu transmitted. "Mechanical, you cannot contain them both while they have the Tomb Ship to charge recklessly. Since that's the case, just ignore them. Peak Tier 6 attacks? Hmph, they can't hurt us. We only need to focus on attacking those Universe Masters."
"Exactly. The human faction's Universe Masters are already showing signs of panic. If even a slight mistake occurs, a Universe Master will surely fall... and then more will die. Victory is ours." The Bug Race Empress also transmitted.
"Agreed." The Mechanical Father God stopped paying attention to Luo Feng and Peng Gong as well.
This immediately left Luo Feng and Lord Peng Gong feeling anxious and furious, yet helpless. After all, while the original universe suppressed the attack power of the Strongest, it did not suppress their defensive capabilities.
"Luo Feng, Peng Gong, the divine bodies of most Universe Masters are above 95% capacity now, but if we continue, the consumption will only grow. And our defense is already strained!" the Dark Master transmitted anxiously.
"Luo Feng and I are anxious too! But the four Strongest are too cautious; even with such a massive advantage, they refuse to leave the proximity of their Universe Masters. If we counterattack now, trying to capture both groups of Universe Masters at once will be difficult—even capturing one group will be challenging," Lord Peng Gong transmitted back.
Luo Feng was also worried.
The Universe Masters of the three-race allied army were distributed in three locations: 80 in the Empress Palace, 16 on the Demon Race's vessel, and 16 near the Mechanical Race Father God's elliptical sphere! Although Luo Feng and the others couldn't discern the exact numbers, they could vaguely see the figures near the entrances and hatches.
Luo Feng had initially intended to capture in one fell swoop the groups of Universe Masters guarded by the two Demon Ancestors and the Mechanical Race Father God.
But now...
"We can't afford to wait any longer. If this continues, not only will we not win, but we might actually lose," Luo Feng gritted his teeth and transmitted, "Counterattack!!!"
Second update done!
