In the void, a grotesque Beast of the Domain stared at the skeletal life before it: "Skeleton Master?"

"Halt!"

Thousands of Beasts of the Domain could communicate telepathically, and instantly, they all ceased their devouring.

"According to the plan, we are supposed to take on a servant. Those two idiots, Zhen Jia and Qiu Yan, have no idea about the latest intelligence."

"Let's take this Skeleton Master."

"Take him."

The nine hundred thousand Beasts of the Domain exchanged mental messages, quickly settling the matter.

"Since you are willing to defect to us," the hideous, pitch-black Beast of the Domain said directly, "I will give you this opportunity."

A flicker of bitterness crossed the Skeleton Master's eyes, yet he still responded thankfully to the command.

"Do not offer the slightest resistance," the Beast of the Domain watched him coldly.

"Yes," the Skeleton Master replied respectfully.

Instantly, bloody rune patterns began to emerge in the Beast of the Domain's single pair of eyes. The two blood-colored patterns rotated... As the Skeleton Master gazed at the patterns in the Beast's eyes, he felt his very soul subtly agitated.

...

"No."

"Ah."

"Father."

Within a small universe, planar spaces began to collapse one after another. The origin of this small universe had been nearly entirely devoured, and naturally, all spaces within the entire small universe began to break down and annihilate. Soon, the origin completely vanished, and all planar spaces shattered like glass, annihilating all living beings.

"Beast of the Domain, Beast of the Domain, Beast of the Domain!!!" In a distant void, a man with three pairs of black wings, hiding there, let out a painful roar. His small universe was gone just now, and his race was finished too.

...

"Galaxy Master, you truly are useless. We trusted you so much. Our race will depart first; your human race is also doomed to extinction!" a roaring Golden Armored True God from the Second Reincarnation Era screamed. He did not choose to flee but stayed in his small universe to share life and death with his kin.

Race extinct, universe destroyed—he had no possibility of transcending reincarnation. After the three reincarnation eras passed, he would still die.

It was better to die now than to die lonely later.

...

"I am True Master Divine Eye, one of the Eight Heroes of the Cosmic Sea, and once the strongest entity in the Cosmic Sea! I possess an immense amount of intelligence! I am willing to submit to you." True Master Divine Eye also pleaded with the Beast of the Domain in the void.

"Submit?" The grotesque Beast of the Domain in the distance pondered.

Simultaneously, the several thousand Beasts of the Domain devouring this small universe all stopped.

"Good," the Beast of the Domain nodded. "I will give you this opportunity."

True Master Divine Eye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember, absolutely no resistance," the Beast of the Domain warned him.

True Master Divine Eye responded respectfully.

The Beast of the Domain directly erupted with streaks of black light from its body, instantly penetrating True Master Divine Eye. The armor and treasures on True Master Divine Eye’s surface offered no obstruction; at this moment, he offered no resistance either.

"Suck," the Beast of the Domain immediately began to devour frantically.

For a Beast of the Domain to devour a True God, even with full resistance, the absorption would be incredibly fast. This was especially true without resistance.

Almost instantly, more than half of True Master Divine Eye’s divine body was consumed.

"This is..." True Master Divine Eye was greatly alarmed.

"Don't resist," the Beast of the Domain roared. "Your divine power must be drained to nearly nothing before a portion of the Beast of the Domain Power can be cultivated, making you an affiliate of the Beasts of the Domain."

True Master Divine Eye hesitated, then gritted his teeth and gambled.

In just a moment.

All his divine power was sucked away with a whoosh. At the moment of his final demise, True Master Divine Eye understood. A bitter smile touched his lips as he murmured, "Cataclysm!" He then completely annihilated, leaving only some treasures floating behind.

"Fool," that Beast of the Domain sneered coldly. "Still one of the Eight Heroes? Now that we have the Skeleton Master as a servant, why would we need others!"

It then opened its mouth and directly swallowed the treasures left behind after True Master Divine Eye’s death.

The weapons and treasures used by True Gods were unusable by the Beasts of the Domain in any case! This was because their power was the absolute antithesis of True Gods and others, making them naturally incapable of recognizing masters or activating them. However, holding them for show was possible. For instance, holding an axe and treating it as a dead object could work, but it couldn't grow in size or be commanded with secret patterns, etc.

...

The races of the Cosmic Sea were gripped by panic.

Within the East Emperor Sacred Land.

"Ancestor East Emperor, what do we do now?"

"We fight our way out."

"Slay those Beasts of the Domain."

Ancestor East Emperor stood tall on the Ancestor Tree, looking down at the many clansmen below. He shook his head: "No need to struggle; await the final destiny."

The clansmen below were filled with despair and unwillingness, but they had no recourse.

"Alas..." Ancestor East Emperor sighed. What he could do was reinforce the origin with his will to resist the suction. His will had already reached the peak of Eternal True God! Once reinforced, it did indeed slow the devouring speed of those Beasts of the Domain to an absurd degree, and the origin of his small universe was also slightly stronger than Ancestor Purple Moon's.

"Hm?" Ancestor East Emperor suddenly started in surprise. "They stopped?"

He clearly sensed that the thousands of Beasts of the Domain outside had ceased devouring.

...

"I obtained a great opportunity, but I haven't truly become powerful yet. Am I to perish just like this? I refuse, I absolutely refuse!" Ancestor Purple Moon stood within the origin of his Purple Moon Sacred Land Universe, looked around, and screamed in pain. Suddenly, his expression turned stunned, mixed with surprise and joy: "They stopped?"

...

The Beasts of the Domain moved in a massive horde.

"The origins of the two Sacred Lands are too difficult to devour. The East Emperor Sacred Land's resistance is the strongest, and the Purple Moon Sacred Land's resistance is slightly weaker, but both far surpass the small universes of the True Gods," the Beasts of the Domain transmitted messages. "If we truly devour them, it will take a long time. The two Sacred Land universes will not affect us in the slightest. We will spare them for now. Time is crucial now; we must hurry... Luo Feng is our greatest enemy."

"Continue onward."

"First, sweep clean the First and Second Reincarnation Eras."

The Beasts of the Domain were utterly unified.

Small universes, races from the First and Second Reincarnation Eras, began to annihilate one by one. Many messages of distress, roars of anger, and curses were transmitted to the Primal Universe, and the races within the Primal Universe, including Luo Feng, could only remain silent; they had no way to intervene.

××××××

Because his divine power avatar was always with Mo Luo Sa, he understood clearly that the nine hundred thousand Beasts of the Domain were scattering out toward the Primal Universe! Even when devouring the same small universe, the distance between them exceeded a million light-years! They absolutely would not give Luo Feng a chance to wipe them out in one go.

Pleading calls, curses, hatred—numerous messages kept arriving.

The races of the Primal Universe Era were also uneasy, with heavy weights on everyone's hearts.

One clan after another was annihilated...

"Ancestor God Sect."

Luo Feng and City Lord Chaos appeared in the Ancestor God Secret Realm. These two were currently the leaders in the Primal Universe. As the Beasts of the Domain successively annihilated the First and Second Reincarnation Eras and advanced toward the Primal Universe, they came to the Ancestor God Sect.

Swish! Swish!

The two headed directly for the Ancestor God Palace. The Three Ancestor Gods sensed their arrival and intentionally lifted the seal, allowing them to instantly teleport there.

"Three Ancestor Gods," Luo Feng and City Lord Chaos stepped into the Ancestor God Palace side by side.

Young Ancestor God, Aged Ancestor God, and Two-Faced Ancestor God were all seated on their thrones. Among them, Aged Ancestor God spoke: "Galaxy Master, City Lord Chaos, this is the most critical moment. The Beasts of the Domain should arrive within a day or two. At such a crucial time, why have you two come here? In a moment, I will also arrange for some experts from my Ancestor God Sect to head toward the Galaxy Sacred Land."

"Three," City Lord Chaos stated directly. "The Beasts of the Domain are attacking; their numbers are immense, and devouring the origin is naturally even more terrifying. He and I have come here hoping that the Will of the Origin will release Primal Ancestor! Without the blessing of Primal Ancestor's will, his small universe would likely be devoured instantly."

A general True God's small universe, devoured by several thousand Beasts of the Domain, could last a few minutes.

But without the blessing of a True God's will, the Initial Universe would indeed break down instantly.

"Please, Will of the Origin, release Primal Ancestor," Luo Feng also requested.

"Release Primal Ancestor?" The Three Ancestor Gods exchanged glances.

Under normal circumstances, the two would have immediately rejected Luo Feng and City Lord Chaos. After all, Primal Ancestor had challenged the Will of the Origin back then and was suppressed. Why would the Will of the Origin easily release him? But the situation now was extraordinary; it was the moment of life and death for all races in the Primal Universe.

"We shall contact the Will of the Origin," Aged Ancestor God said.

"Good."

"We will wait."

City Lord Chaos and Luo Feng responded, but the tone of their voices clearly exerted pressure!

No matter what, Primal Ancestor had to be released, otherwise, the Initial Universe was almost guaranteed to be annihilated.

Boom—

An invisible, overwhelming pressure descended. The Will of the Origin had arrived. The Three Ancestor Gods closed their eyes to listen to the decree of the Will of the Origin. After a long time, the three opened their eyes and looked apologetically at Luo Feng and City Lord Chaos.

That apologetic, helpless gaze made Luo Feng’s heart tremble—not good!

"Can the Will of the Origin release Primal Ancestor?" City Lord Chaos asked, his face ashen.

Luo Feng also stared at the Three Ancestor Gods.

The Three Ancestor Gods exchanged glances, then Young Ancestor God spoke: "The Will of the Origin has informed us of everything. Primal Ancestor certainly cannot be released. However, the Will of the Origin will no longer suppress his will, allowing him to condense a divine power avatar within the Initial Universe to apply his will to bolster his small universe."

"What is going on?" Luo Feng frowned. "Since his will is no longer suppressed, why not release him directly?"

Primal Ancestor was suppressed, and even his will was suppressed.

Primal Ancestor couldn't even condense a divine power avatar in the outside world; otherwise, the Initial Universe wouldn't have needed 'City Lord Chaos' to manage it back then. Primal Ancestor relied solely on a secret technique, 'Virtual Universe'—this technique covered a vast area, allowing him to extend his perception everywhere through it.

But his true body and will remained suppressed.

"Galaxy Master," Aged Ancestor God sighed, "Primal Ancestor's strength was already immense back then, and now he has gained the inheritance of ancient civilization through your assistance, making him even stronger! If he were to come out, relying on mechanical stream treasures, his power might not be much less than yours. Such strength would greatly increase our Primal Universe's chances of survival against the Beasts of the Domain. If he could be released, the Will of the Origin would have already released him. To ease your minds, we will tell you the truth: Primal Ancestor violated the supreme rules back then and is bound by them, which is why the Will of the Origin suppressed him and has no authority to release him. Only if you can resolve the Beast of the Domain catastrophe and make a great contribution, only then can Primal Ancestor be released."
