"My teacher has finally broken through!" Luo Feng was thrilled. Before he imparted the ancient civilization's inheritance to the Human Race, City Lord Chaos had already been on the verge of a breakthrough. With the subsequent detailed guidance from the inheritance, coupled with the pressure of the Great War of Destiny for the race... internally, the Human Race had been yearning for Chaos to break through before the 'Grand Decisive Battle.'

Yet, even after that great war concluded, Chaos had not managed to advance. Fortunately, Luo Feng broke through to Universe Master first, using the 'Endless Nether Sea' to salvage the tide of battle.

"Before the war, there was a desperate craving for a breakthrough, but it remained unattainable."

"Now that the war is over, the breakthrough has arrived so suddenly." Within the Virtual Universe, Luo Feng immediately headed for his teacher's location.

...

Virtual Universe, the summit of Thunder Island.

The atmosphere here was incredibly festive. As soon as Luo Feng arrived, before he could clearly discern the faces in the distance, a cacophony of voices reached him—some deep and powerful, others sharp, still others hoarse...

"Oh?" Luo Feng took in the scene and couldn't help but be surprised. "So many have come, even beings from other races are here."

"Galaxy Master."

"Hurry, Galaxy Master, your teacher has broken through! You, as his disciple, must show generosity; prepare a suitably grand congratulatory gift!" A Universe Master from an alien race, possessing dozens of tentacles, greeted Luo Feng.

Immediately, quite a few beings from other races surrounded him.

For someone to ascend to the level of the Universe's Strongest, what an immense event!

In the current Primitive Universe, if a race could produce one Universe's Strongest, it signified that race's potential to become a 'Peak Race'! With the Primordial Ancestor suppressed and Giant Axe having perished, the Human Race currently lacked a Universe's Strongest to anchor them, which had caused some unease within the Hong Alliance. Now that City Lord Chaos had broken through, all the Universe Masters felt they finally had a 'pillar of strength.'

"Luo Feng, Luo Feng." City Lord Chaos, surrounded by the crowd, spotted Luo Feng and beckoned him over immediately.

"Teacher." Luo Feng also smiled and hurried to greet him.

"Before the last war, I pushed myself to the limit, daring not to slacken even slightly, hoping to break through before the conflict. But I just couldn't..." City Lord Chaos shook his head and chuckled. "Who would have thought that only when my entire being relaxed naturally did the breakthrough occur."

Luo Feng replied, "Teacher's achievement is built on deep accumulation, naturally culminating in success."

Glancing at the lively scene around him, Luo Feng somewhat understood. Given the tense geopolitical situation in the Primitive Universe, the fact that City Lord Chaos had announced his breakthrough to all Universe Masters of the Hong Alliance for a joint celebration also served to enhance the internal cohesion of the Alliance.

This boisterous celebration lasted for the better part of a day before the beings from other races gradually departed, leaving only the Universe Masters of the Human Race behind.

"Luo Feng, you sent a private message asking us all to stay; what is the matter?" asked Master of Ice Peak, as City Lord Chaos, Master of Darkness, Master of Dragon Walk, and others all turned their gaze toward Luo Feng. During the gathering, Luo Feng had indeed sent a silent communication to the native Human Universe Masters.

"The battle between myself and Master of Vast Thunder is about to commence," Luo Feng announced, surveying the group.

Silence immediately fell.

Although the Human side had confidence in Luo Feng, their opponent was Master of Vast Thunder, a Universe's Strongest.

"Luo Feng, Master of Vast Thunder is not easy to provoke. Giant Axe has fallen, and revenge is necessary. But there is no need to rush this one moment," spoke Master of Peng Gong.

"I have a thirty percent chance of killing Master of Vast Thunder in this fight," Luo Feng stated.

"Kill him?"

Everyone, including City Lord Chaos, was stunned and disbelieving.

To kill a Universe's Strongest? Even other Universe's Strongest beings would not dare make such a claim. Luo Feng was only a Universe Master... yet he dared to utter such words? However, having witnessed Luo Feng's plan in the previous conflict, and seeing how his Endless Nether Sea avatar endured the combined soul attacks from the coalition army and the Freedom Alliance, the Human Universe Masters were somewhat inclined to believe him.

"A thirty percent chance?" City Lord Chaos inquired personally.

"Yes," Luo Feng nodded. "After all, he is a Universe's Strongest. To kill him, I cannot rely solely on my own strength; I must utilize the environment of the three great Forbidden Zones. Therefore, I can only say there is a thirty percent chance! With premeditation against his complacency, if he is arrogant, there is a genuine possibility of him falling for a trap."

Whoosh!

The Human Universe Masters, including Master of Void Gold, Master of Gloomy Marquis, Master of Azure East, and others, were simultaneously shocked and exhilarated. While they found it hard to accept, recalling Luo Feng possessed the 'Mourning Ship' and perhaps some special methods granted by the Duan Dong River inheritance, they entertained the possibility that it might actually succeed.

"If you succeed, Master of Vast Thunder's 'Vast Thunder Divine Armor' will belong to our Human Race," Master of Gloomy Marquis exclaimed.

The Vast Thunder Divine Armor was an ultimate treasure belonging to Master of Vast Thunder.

"Teacher," Luo Feng said with a smile, "I asked everyone to remain because if, by some stroke of luck, I succeed... once Master of Vast Thunder perishes, all the experts of the Thunderstorm Race living within his 'Small Universe' will instantly perish, and that Small Universe will collapse and dissipate. A massive amount of treasures will appear then..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present understood.

From ordinary life forms up to Universe Masters, all relied on the Primitive Universe for their root of life... Life forms from the First and Second Reincarnation Eras, however, depended on a Small Universe! Once a Small Universe disintegrated, all life relying on it would die... naturally, if a Small Universe evolved into a 'Holy Land Universe,' the Immortals, Venerables, and Universe Masters inside could exist eternally.

"An entire race wiped out, countless treasures—yes, this needs attention," City Lord Chaos nodded, then turned to Master of Darkness. "Junior Brother, you must make a trip personally. If Luo Feng truly succeeds... when the Small Universe collapses, you sweep through it and bring back every single treasure."

"Understood." Master of Darkness nodded, then turned to Luo Feng. "Don't make me travel for nothing."

"I will certainly exert my utmost effort," Luo Feng smiled.

In the vast Universe Sea, no one dared claim certainty in killing a Universe's Strongest.

Luo Feng was taking a gamble!

Master of Darkness secretly departed the Primitive Universe that same day, traversing the boundless Universe Sea, utilizing natural wormholes and long-distance teleportation with all his might. It took him a full six days to finally arrive at Master of Vast Thunder's Small Universe.

"Small Universe."

Like a sesame seed-sized black pyramid suspended in the chaotic currents, Master of Darkness gazed from inside the pyramid at the distant, immense Small Universe. "Luo Feng is truly reckless, aiming to kill a Universe's Strongest... even with the aid of the Forbidden Zone environments, it's incredible."

...

Universe Boat, center of the Spiraling Abyss Sea, upon a colossal reef.

"It is incredible," Luo Feng mused from within the Star Tower, looking down at the outside world, listening to the discussions of the Universe Masters on the reef. "Usually, it is only when Universe's Strongest beings fight each other that one side falls. For a Universe Master to cause the death of a Universe's Strongest... it truly has never happened."

"And I, Luo Feng! In terms of pure strength, I can erupt to Tier Nine combat power! That places me at the pinnacle even among the Universe's Strongest; only my speed cannot break the limit."

"I absolutely have the potential to create a miracle," Luo Feng resonated with infinite battle intent.

One-on-one.

He had a possibility of success. If it were one against two, or one against three... there would be no hope. That was why he chose to provoke only Master of Vast Thunder. If Zhenjia King and Qiuyan Ancestral God had also come this time, Luo Feng would certainly have turned tail and fled, perhaps even calling Master of Vast Thunder a coward.

...

Days passed one by one.

"Rumble~~~" The vortex of the Spiraling Abyss Sea grew more terrifying, and the gale in the sky intensified.

The wind on the reef was comparatively weaker, yet the 15 waiting Universe Masters watched with anticipation.

"It should be soon; Master of Vast Thunder will arrive," one speculated.

"Mmm."

"Let's wait. The battle between Master of Vast Thunder and Galaxy Lord—it's something to look forward to," the Universe Masters felt they couldn't miss this fight.

Just as they were chatting idly, in the distant void above the dim and vast Spiraling Abyss Sea, a massive bolt of lightning suddenly appeared. This single streak instantly ripped across the sky, moving from the distant void to hover above the reef in the blink of an eye, causing the previously leisurely and casual Universe Masters to become instantly excited.

"Human brat! Hand over the Master of Lei Suo of my race immediately!" A majestic voice boomed down from the sky.

The immense lightning in the high sky had coalesced into a giant form made of lightning. This Lightning Giant was imposing and tall, with a large orb of swirling lightning at its chest, looking down coldly upon those below.

"Vast Thunder!" A cold shout rang out.

From the side door of the Star Tower emerged a silver-robed youth with silver wings. He extended his left hand, and the nearby Star Tower rapidly shrank, settling into his palm. He looked up, sneering at the Lightning Giant standing motionless against the gale above. "Vast Thunder, the life and death of Master of Lei Suo are now in my control. I hold the advantage, yet you dare to be so arrogant."

"Hmph." The Lightning Giant in the sky looked down and let out a cold snort, then forced back his fury. "Tell me, what will it take for you to release Master of Lei Suo."

"It is easy for me to hand over Master of Lei Suo," Luo Feng replied. "Simply kneel before me and kowtow in apology! Then I will spare Master of Lei Suo."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Universe Masters from the alien races, who had gathered to watch, were all greatly alarmed.

Luo Feng had gone mad!

"Insolence!" The Lightning Giant in the sky roared with fury upon hearing this. "To insult a Universe's Strongest is unforgivable."

"Insult? If my strength were sufficient, I would have killed you and tortured you a thousand times over," Luo Feng retorted coldly, looking up at the Lightning Giant.

Master of Vast Thunder looked down.

He instantly understood...

It seemed the Human Race truly knew that the death of Giant Axe was connected to the three of them! It was precisely because of this deep hatred that Luo Feng would humiliate him so thoroughly.

"It seems you are unwilling to hand over Master of Lei Suo," Master of Vast Thunder stated, looking down.

"I never intended to hand him over!" Luo Feng said coldly.

"Lei Suo..." Master of Vast Thunder called out from the high sky. "I will avenge you."

As these words were spoken, the Universe Masters hiding within their palace treasures on the nearby reef became intensely excited. They understood that when Master of Vast Thunder said this, he clearly no longer held the intention of rescuing 'Master of Lei Suo'; the great battle was about to begin.

"Human brat, I will make you understand the foolishness of provoking a Universe's Strongest!" The Lightning Giant in the sky suddenly roared fiercely. His massive lightning right leg, spanning over a hundred million kilometers, instantly transformed into a colossal bolt of lightning, smashing down directly toward the reef below. Its destructive power pulverized the space along its trajectory.
