Chapter 1150: The Founder of the Black Abyss

“To deal with the Master of Yuan’ao, we must suppress and seal him,” said the Sovereign of Nine Netherworlds, looking toward the various Sovereigns of the Universe who stood or loomed in the distance. “However, the Master of Yuan’ao is no fool. First, he will definitely be vigilant because this is the only way to kill him. Second, he won’t allow himself to be suppressed and sealed by us. We must come up with a detailed plan.”

“I possess a peak Domain-type treasure whose domain spans dozens of light-years in radius, making it difficult for the Master of Yuan’ao to escape.”

“I have a top-tier suppression and sealing treasure powerful enough to subdue him.”

Each of the major factions’ Sovereigns of the Universe spoke up one by one, doing their best because they clearly understood that ‘strange beings’ like the Master of Yuan’ao are rejected by the Primordial Universe. Once the Master of Yuan’ao is eliminated and the strange being is removed from the Primordial Universe, the rewards each faction receives will vary depending on their contributions. Naturally, everyone was doing their utmost.

“He’s ruthless,” murmured Luo Feng.

They were indeed representatives sent by powerful factions, all well-prepared.

Among them, three possessed peak Domain-type treasures—Sovereign of Golden Horn, Sovereign of Minglian, and Sovereign of Zimo. The peak suppression and sealing treasure was carried by Sovereign of Icepeak.

After a brief discussion among the nine factions—

“Good.”

The Sovereign of Nine Netherworlds nodded, “The plan is set. We’ll proceed as discussed. However, the Master of Yuan’ao is no fool, so everyone must remain vigilant.”

“Yes.”

“Of course.”

“Don’t worry, Jiuyou.”

The Sovereigns of the various factions spoke one after another, their voices deep, hoarse, or shrill.

“Your plan sounds promising, but with so many Sovereigns of the Universe gathered here, are you truly confident you can suppress the Master of Yuan’ao and seal him within that artifact?” A chilling, eerie voice reverberated through the cosmic void, prompting the Sovereigns of Nine Shadows, Icepeak, Golden Horn, Flame Emperor, and others to glance around warily.

Luo Feng also gazed into the distance…

A strange pressure descended from the endless void—an incredibly powerful will that made all the Sovereigns of the Universe feel immense pressure.

“It’s a Cosmic Overlord,” Sovereign of Icepeak said coldly.

“I wonder which Overlord it is,” said the Sovereign of Nine Nether directly.

Whoosh!

From the endless void, a blurred figure gradually solidified. It was a pitch-black armor, within which golden flames formed a vaguely humanoid shape. This golden-flamed giant wore black armor, and behind him in the void was a massive phantom filled with countless rising and falling stars, as though it were an entire universe.

“Black Universe!”

“Founder of Black Universe!”

“It’s actually him.”

“That is the supreme treasure, the ‘Black Cosmos Divine Armor.'” The rulers of the Nine Nether factions were all overwhelmed by the majestic aura of this unexpected arrival—the Black Cosmos Founder.

Luo Feng also observed carefully.

Was this the founder of Black Universe?

Based on the intelligence he had collected, the founder of Black Cosmos was originally a being of flame. The golden flames alone radiated boundless heat and brilliance. Yet, the colossal phantom looming behind the golden fiery figure emanated an overwhelming aura of darkness and frigidity—a presence diametrically opposed to the golden flames.

“Is that the supreme treasure, the Black Universe Divine Armor?” Luo Feng observed closely. On the surface of the golden flame figure was a seemingly ordinary black armor. This black armor sometimes flowed like liquid into the golden flames and sometimes reappeared.

“I have a proposal,” said the golden flame, which gradually formed a flaming head.

“I will take the lead while you support me, ensuring that the Master of Yuan’ao is trapped within the sealing treasure. I travel alone, without any faction or territory, so I won’t interfere with your credit.”

The great mountain ranges floating in the void, where the Sovereigns of the Universe stood, fell silent for a moment.

“What do you want?” inquired the Sovereign of Nine Netherworlds.

“I want the strange being,” said the golden flame surrounded by black armor. “Don’t panic, I’m not going to take it by force. I’m willing to exchange it for equivalent treasures—supreme treasures and others. It’s just one strange being, which none of your factions can divide among yourselves. It would be better to give it to me, and I will provide treasures in return.”

“What do you all think?” The Sovereign of Nine Shadows swept his gaze across the others.

Silence filled the air.

After a moment, the Sovereign of Minglian spoke first, her voice melodious, “Since the Founder of Black Cosmos is personally stepping in, we of the insect race have no objections.”

“We of the Northern Border Alliance also have no objection.”

“We of the Hell Clan have no objection.”

“We of the Human Race have no objection,” said Sovereign of Icepeak.

Even those present who seemed somewhat reluctant, such as the Flame Emperor, eventually agreed. It wasn’t their own decision but rather the will of the Cosmic Overlords behind them. This matter had long involved the Cosmic Overlords of various universes. Now, the Founder of Black Cosmos was willing to appear personally, regardless of his reputation…

Just for a strange being, and it was an equal exchange.

There was no need to offend this Cosmic Overlord. After all, a lone Cosmic Overlord was best not antagonized. Although Sovereigns like the Master of Yuan’ao might be suppressed and sealed, suppressing and sealing a Cosmic Overlord was beyond the capabilities of any faction.

“I will manipulate the cosmic space to support your Domain-type treasures, making it even more difficult for the Master of Yuan’ao to escape,” continued the Founder of Black Cosmos. “Of course, if he flees beforehand and even I cannot locate him, then we will have to rely on the Ancestral God Sect. The Ancestral God Sect should be able to easily pinpoint the Master of Yuan’ao’s whereabouts.”

“Agreed,” the Sovereign of Nine Nether nodded.

It wasn’t actually about determining the Master of Yuan’ao’s location, but rather about locating the strange being.

Previously, before the Master of Yuan’ao had unveiled the Black Divine Wood, the Ancestral God Sect had already detected anomalies in this area and dispatched Luo Feng. The moment the Master of Yuan’ao revealed the Black Divine Wood, his location was pinpointed.

The Secret Realm of Yuan’ao.

Majestic figures—some reptilian lifeforms, some rock beings, some flesh-blood beings—appeared one by one near the twelve continents, about ten light-years away. Leading them was the golden flame giant radiating immense pressure, forcing the cosmic laws themselves to retreat.

“We go now,” said the Founder of Black Cosmos.

Whoosh!

A group of mighty figures instantly appeared in the void outside the continent of Mogao, extremely close.

“Seal!” ordered the Founder of Black Cosmos.

Boom!

Within a radius of one hundred light-years centered on Black Hole, space was instantly locked down, and spatial restraints surged rapidly.

“I have locked onto the Master of Yuan’ao. You may begin,” said the Founder of Black Cosmos.

“Infinite Light Domain!”

Standing in the void, Sovereign of Golden Horn of the Star-Beast Alliance spread his massive wings. From him radiated a domain of endless light about eighty light-years in radius. Brilliant white light filled the space, making everything dazzlingly radiant. Every powerful being present could sense the immense power contained within the light.

“Golden Horn is indeed formidable,” Luo Feng remarked, glancing aside. “He doesn’t know I am the Venerable Jinfeng yet.”

“Boom~~~”

Suddenly, from the floating continent of Mogao, a mighty figure burst forth. He held a massive black divine wood, looked upward, and roared in fury, “I didn’t expect you all to unite for a strange being. You are all major powers of the Primordial Universe. Ah, even a Cosmic Overlord is here!”

“One-on-one, I fear none of you.”

“But since you have united, don’t blame me for escaping.” The Master of Yuan’ao roared, suddenly stomping his foot. Boom~~~ His massive foot crushed the void, instantly shattering tens of thousands of kilometers of space into particles, directly entering the spatial rift.

The spatial rift was filled with endless spatial fragments.

The Master of Yuan’ao roared and, holding the black divine wood, dove straight into the spatial rift.

However—

The light of the ‘Infinite Light Domain’ followed him into the spatial rift.

“Go!”

The golden flame giant took a step, the void cracked open, and he entered.

“Master of Yuan’ao, you also want to escape?” Flame Emperor roared furiously, tearing open a massive rift in the void with his claw-like right hand and stepping through.

“Let’s go, Luo Feng,” said Sovereign of Icepeak and Sovereign of the Milky Way, Luo Feng. One transformed into a silvery-white sword beam, while the other became a golden blade light, slicing through the void and rapidly diving into the spatial rift.

One by one, the Sovereigns of the Universe followed, either radiating immense power or moving effortlessly.

As they ventured deeper into the spatial rift, the spatial currents grew increasingly turbulent. In certain profound depths, even Universe Venerables could be obliterated by the massive spatial fragments.

However—

Whether it was the fleeing Master of Yuan’ao or the pursuing Founder of Black Cosmos and the other Sovereigns of the Universe, they were incomparably stronger than the Universe Venerable. They had no fear of these spatial fragments.

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

One after another, they shot deep into the spatial rift at incredible speeds.

“Roar~~” The massive scaly wings of Sovereign of Golden Horn flapped wildly as he flew forward, directly crashing into one massive spatial fragment after another, causing them to collapse. These spatial fragments were as fragile as water droplets, unable to hinder him in the slightest.

Luo Feng also transformed into a golden beam of light.

He unleashed the ultimate secret technique ‘Golden Light’ with his divine form, augmented by the Godslayer Wings, achieving an astonishing speed.

Among the pursuers, the swiftest was undoubtedly the Founder of Black Cosmos. The other Sovereigns of the Universe varied in speed, yet without question, they all far outpaced the Master of Yuan’ao.

Firstly, the Master of Yuan’ao was bound by peak Domain-type treasures.

Secondly, he was also constrained by the Founder of Black Cosmos’s control over space.

These two oppressions slowed the Master of Yuan’ao to an absurd degree, while the pursuers rapidly closed in from behind.

“Finally caught up,” the Master of Yuan’ao appeared furious yet inwardly brimming with anticipation. “I’ve been waiting for all these factions for so long. Now they’ve finally arrived. However, the emergence of the Founder of Black Cosmos was unforeseen… Even with Black Cosmos, it won’t disrupt my plans. Bring it on.”

(Note: “Black宙” is translated as “Black Cosmos” based on contextual interpretation, as “宙” can imply cosmic or universal scale in certain contexts. If “Black宙” is a proper name or title, it may alternatively be rendered as “Black Zhou” or kept as “Black宙” per preference.)

“You, as the supreme powers of the Primordial Universe factions, actually gang up on me shamelessly! How despicable!!!” The Master of Yuan’ao roared in fury while fleeing.
