As the Human Faction and the allied Three-Race Faction clashed, far in the distance, numerous powerful beings watched from afar.
“I never expected that combining the power of over a hundred Universe Masters would result in such a formidable assault. It seems I need to learn from you, North Frontier Alliance Master; perhaps becoming an alliance master myself would grant me a host of Universe Masters to command.” A figure in a purple robe stood in the dark universe void, his gaze piercing through time and space towards the battlefield, all while maintaining a slight, continuous flight.
“Shi Hua, you wish to become an alliance master? Very well, I will cede my North Frontier Alliance to you.” About ten billion kilometers away from the purple-robed figure stood an old man whose hair and beard were entirely white, his body covered in wrinkled skin.
“You are generous indeed, but I wouldn't dare steal your prize. Esteemed ones, esteemed ones, what do you predict will be the outcome of this battle?” Lord Shi Hua’s voice carried to the various powerful beings present.
“The allied Three-Race Faction is likely to win,” a deep, powerful voice resonated.
“Even the Ancestral Gods favor the Three Races? I also favor the Three Races,” a mass of flame spoke.
“That’s hard to say. Luo Feng has obtained the inheritance lineage of Duan Dong River; the Human Faction now possesses two ultimate supreme treasures. Who knows if there are others? Old Beast God, what is your assessment?” A leisurely voice inquired.
“I fear the Three-Race Faction will prevail,” an aged voice sounded.
“Old Beast God, haven't you always had good relations with humanity? Why aren't you helping now that the Human Faction can’t hold on? And you don't even favor them now. I despise treacherous beings like you the most,” a sharp, hoarse voice shrieked from a massive, slowly undulating creature in the distant expanse.
“What, do you want to fight?”
“Fight then, are you afraid?”
“Old Beast God, E Zhou, why are you fighting amongst yourselves at a time like this?”
“Xu Zhen, this has nothing to do with you! I just find this Old Beast God distasteful.” The sharp, hoarse voice was filled with bitter resentment.
“Let us observe the battle first,” another voice interjected.
“Sit on the Mountain Guest is right; let’s watch first.”
“This battle is incredibly significant.”
“Observe.”
The attraction exerted by the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance was terrifyingly potent. Universe Supreme Masters, either in person or via an avatar, rushed over, all sensing the ebb and flow of time and space... Their range of temporal-spatial perception was immense. As soon as the allied Three-Race Faction appeared in human territory, they detected it and naturally converged.
However, to avoid sparking misunderstandings, they kept their distance once the battle commenced, unable to interfere immediately.
Besides these Supreme Masters, some Universe Masters came to investigate the commotion, such as Prison King and others. Yet, due to their lower status, they dared not interrupt the discourse of the Supreme Masters.
“There’s movement!”
“Not right!”
“The Human Faction is about to turn the tide!” The Supreme Masters and Universe Masters watching from afar were all stunned.
The dark universe, the battlefield of the two great factions.
“Counterattack!” Luo Feng commanded.
“Prepare to counterattack.”
“Prepare to counterattack.”
“Prepare to counterattack.”
The Dark Master’s voice simultaneously echoed in the mind of every Universe Master standing at the edge of the Abyss of the Black Prison Tower, igniting excitement among them. They only knew of the three possible strategies within the “Counterattack Plan,” but the full, intricate details remained hidden from them.
What they did understand was one crucial point...
The Human Race still possessed a hidden trump card! And now, it was time to reveal it!
In an instant, they were filled with fighting spirit; even their frantic defenses stabilized slightly.
“They are about to counterattack.”
“It’s happening now.”
They fought furiously, yet simultaneously kept a distant watch, awaiting the shift in the situation.
In the void.
Before Luo Feng and Master Peng Gong stood the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Tremor Demon Ancestor, and the Mechanical Race Father God, yet these three completely ignored Luo Feng and his companion.
“Boat of the Tomb Mausoleum.”
Luo Feng made a gesture, and instantly, the Boat of the Tomb Mausoleum materialized from thin air, expanding rapidly and massively, instantly reaching a diameter of ten billion kilometers, nearly blocking the path of the entire allied Three-Race Faction. Yet, the Three-Race Faction acted as if the Boat of the Tomb Mausoleum did not exist; they knew well they could neither harm the boat nor could it harm them.
Suddenly, suspended at the hatchway of the Boat of the Tomb Mausoleum, a crystal sphere hovered. The sphere violently swelled, continuously expanding until it reached a diameter of ten million kilometers, almost filling the entire aperture of the hatch.
Rings of light gathered on the crystal sphere, converging onto a single point—a point resembling an eye’s pupil! This pupil was aimed directly toward the distant Empress Palace. The entire crystal sphere was about ten million kilometers in diameter, yet this pupil was only about one hundred thousand kilometers across.
Boom!
A potent wave of will shot out in a straight line across the void, directly striking the cluster of Universe Masters stationed at the edge of the Empress Palace’s Abyss. However, since the will traveled strictly in a straight line, like a laser beam, even from Luo Feng’s angle, it could only affect about a dozen Universe Masters simultaneously.
It wasn't that Luo Feng was unwilling to attack all eighty Universe Masters at once; it was because the pupil of the “Ancient God Eye” could maintain its highest intensity only within a diameter of one hundred thousand kilometers. If it expanded further, causing the range of the Ancient God Eye to become vastly larger, the intensity of the will would continuously weaken.
A diameter of one hundred thousand kilometers was already the maximum range (to maintain the highest intensity of the will impact).
“Ah!” A tall Mechanical Race Universe Master, struck by the powerful wave of will, let out a muffled roar, collapsing to his knees, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“No!” Some Universe Masters knelt, some fell prone, and others simply lost consciousness and collapsed.
The will impact contained within this Ancient God Eye was exceptionally strong. Because distances in the dark universe were relatively close, and Luo Feng had deliberately positioned the Boat of the Tomb Mausoleum near the Empress Palace, the Ancient God Eye was able to unleash its full destructive power.
“Buzz~~~” The Ancient God Eye slowly rotated, causing the direction targeted by the pupil to shift gradually.
In one sweep, it could impact more than ten Universe Masters.
A slight adjustment, and it swept over another dozen Universe Masters beside them. This simple rotation!
It caused the “Will Impact Storm” generated by the Ancient God Eye to sweep in a circle around the edge of the Empress Palace’s Abyss, ensuring that all Universe Masters were affected! Although this meant the Ancient God Eye’s will impact momentarily left the Universe Masters initially struck, once they were overwhelmed by the psychic blow, it would take considerable time to recover, even after the impact subsided.
Thus, in the blink of an eye, the Ancient God Eye completed one full circuit.
The slight turn of the Ancient God Eye, sweeping its pupil in a circle, proved to be a fatal sweep! Among the eighty Universe Masters, some were core members of the Insect, Monster, and Mechanical Races, but the majority were from allied subordinate groups. Furthermore, learning from previous lessons in this war, the Three Races dared not gamble the lives of extremely powerful Universe Masters who held the “hope of impacting the Universe Supreme Master level,” such as Master Mie Jin, who were mostly kept safe within their race’s small universes.
If those peak Fifth-Order existences like Master Mie Jin, whose wills had reached the "Universe Supreme Master level," they might have resisted the impact.
Unfortunately, to prevent losses to their race’s hopes, among these eighty, only three possessed wills at the Supreme Master level; only these three could withstand the impact. All others were either subjugated or had completely lost consciousness.
This... was catastrophic!
The sudden loss of the combat strength of seventy-seven Universe Masters meant that out of the 112 Universe Masters in the allied Three-Race Faction, only thirty-five continued to attack the Human Faction. The combined attack power of merely thirty-five Universe Masters did not even reach the level of a Seventh-Order attack.
The four Universe Supreme Masters of the allied Three-Race Faction were equivalent to forty Universe Masters.
Therefore...
A single sweep of the Ancient God Eye instantly reduced the attack power of the Three-Race Faction from the combined might of over 160 Universe Masters to approximately the combined might of 80 Universe Master god-bodies!
Meanwhile, the Human Faction possessed the combined might of over 100 god-bodies!
And then—"Boom!" "Boom!"—Luo Feng and Master Peng Gong simultaneously unleashed their own techniques.
A streak of blade light and a terrifying shadow of a staff, both capable of destroying heaven and earth, simultaneously swept toward the Empress Palace! Including these two peak Sixth-Order combatants, the Human Faction now commanded the combined might equivalent to 120 Universe Master god-bodies. Finally, the Human Faction’s Universe Masters broke through the “Energy Domain Range” and were no longer forced solely into defense by the enemy.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Rumble”……
Massive attacks from the Human Faction’s Universe Masters slammed into the Empress Palace! The attacks from Luo Feng and Peng Gong also converged on the Empress Palace!
The most fatal move was the “Suction!”
While the Ancient God Eye was active, the Dark Master had been relentlessly utilizing the Black Prison Tower’s suction ability, and it finally took effect! After seventy-seven of the eighty Universe Masters instantly collapsed, including the three who remained conscious, these eighty Universe Masters were utterly unable to resist and were immediately pulled toward the Black Prison Tower.
As they flew toward it...
The massive assault from the Human Faction rained down upon them!
“No!” “How could this be—”
“Empress!”
The three remaining conscious, absolute peak existences from the subordinate races were shocked and enraged.
With only three of them, how could they break free from the suction of an ultimate supreme treasure palace? With only three of them, how could they resist the combined assault from the Human Faction, including Luo Feng and Master Peng Gong?
And before them, the multicolored, powerful attacks, along with that thin blade light and the sky-piercing staff shadow, all rushed toward them.
Trapped between internal collapse and external assault!
“Empress!” the Mechanical Race Father God shouted repeatedly through telepathic communication.
“Empress! Save them!” Master Tremor Demon roared urgently.
“Protect them!” The Dream Demon Ancestor was also frantically anxious.
This sudden raid had caught the three of them unprepared; they didn't even have time to deploy another set of offensive measures to hinder the attack. Their only hope rested on the Insect Race Empress. She was the sole remaining hope for the Three-Race Alliance in this war! If dozens of Universe Masters were killed or absorbed, it would truly be a nightmare!
