Chapter 1191: The Deadly Gambit

The speed of information dissemination in the Cosmic Sea is still relatively slow. The fastest exchange occurred during the first cycle era. The intelligence networks of the two holy universes are also extremely powerful. Many factions maintain connections with the Purple Moon Holy Land. Thus, when the Flame God Clan received the news, the very next day—four days after the Wuhun Sovereign entered the Magma Sea—the information spread by Yintuo finally reached the Purple Moon Holy Land universe.

The Purple Moon Holy Land is vast and prosperous, filled with countless powerful beings.

Purple Moon Cliff is one of the legendary places of the Purple Moon Clan. It is a gathering place often frequented by numerous Cosmic Sovereigns of the Purple Moon Clan.

Thin clouds drifting in the sky, illuminated by a purple moon, made the entire Purple Moon Cliff appear even more cold and serene. Over a hundred figures stood in small groups, chatting joyfully. With their long and boundless lifespans, they lived extremely leisurely lives. It was normal for them to engage in discussions lasting tens of thousands of years.

“I just received some news! Big news, big news!” shouted a silver-robed woman with three heads and eight arms.

“What big news?”

“Quick, tell us!”

“The human of the Primordial Universe, Lord Silver-Wing Luo Feng, actually dragged Yintuo, Wuhun Sovereign, and Qiujian Sovereign of the first cycle era into a disadvantage when the Magma Demon God appeared at the Divine Eye Ravine. Yintuo was severely injured and suffered heavy losses. Wuhun Sovereign and Qiujian Sovereign even got trapped in the Magma Sea. It is said they have perished!”

“What!”

“Wuhun Sovereign is extremely powerful. Perished?”

A wave of shock spread.

This caused several Cosmic Sovereigns present who had connections with the first cycle era to immediately begin investigating. Soon, each of them received confirmation. As the information pieced together, the detailed situation became increasingly clear.

“I just asked a good friend from the Flame God Clan. Surprisingly, he didn’t know either. Anyway, the Flame God Clan’s upper echelons have not denied the news!”

“No denial?”

“It seems the news is true. It also says that Luo Feng possesses an extremely powerful treasure-wing artifact capable of controlling space and time, even slightly stronger than Wuhun Sovereign’s Waterwave Prison. Although Luo Feng’s divine power is weaker than Wuhun Sovereign’s, he managed to suppress the Waterwave Prison using the treasure-wing artifact. It seems the treasure-wing artifact is indeed comparable to Wuhun Sovereign’s Extinction God Armor, making it second only to the supreme artifacts.”

“Wow, such an artifact is both special and rare and powerful.”

“Amazing.”

“Haha, such a treasure being in the hands of a youngling is such a waste. Where is this Silver-Wing Lord now? I’ll go take that artifact from him.”

“Count me in, let’s go together.”

“Such a treasure should belong to those with strength.”

The experts of the Purple Moon Holy Land have various temperaments. Although some are not warlike, others are extremely aggressive. When their lifespans become infinitely long without any limit, and they cannot break through to become the strongest beings in the universe, some Cosmic Sovereigns become extreme, sinister, and even crazy.

In a corner of the Purple Moon Cliff, a golden-haired man with only two arms frowned slightly and whispered, “Luo Feng…”

Swish!

He immediately vanished with a blink.

In the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, within the Divine Realm.

The Divine Realm is divided into three layers. The first layer is home to countless immortal gods. The second layer houses numerous Cosmic Lords. The third layer is where the Cosmic Sovereigns reside.

“Fenglong, Fenglong.” A golden-haired man in black armor shouted directly outside a white-domed temple.

Outside the temple, countless attendants stood without daring to interrupt, for they recognized the speaker as the friend of their master, the Sovereign Fenglong — the Sovereign Pankel.

“Pankel, why have you come looking for me?” The giant with sixteen arms and four faces, Sovereign Fenglong, laughed as he stepped out.

“Come, come, let’s talk inside.” Sovereign Pankel urged.

“Oh?” Sovereign Fenglong looked puzzled.

Inside the temple.

As soon as Sovereign Fenglong sat down, he asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”

“You previously told me that you spotted a young human from the Primordial Universe named Luo Feng in your territory, right?” Sovereign Pankel said.

“Yes, what about it?” Sovereign Fenglong asked, puzzled.

“Here’s the thing. I just received the news at Purple Moon Cliff,” Sovereign Pankel quickly explained, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Fenglong, Yanshui Lake is within our Purple Moon Holy Land’s territory—a minor gathering point in our inner domain. Including you and me, there are three Cosmic Sovereigns stationed there. This is a rare opportunity. A special treasure, second only to supreme artifacts, of immeasurable value. Once we obtain it, with its ability to manipulate the void, combined with a peak domain-type treasure… we could become unrivaled in domain control.”

Sovereign Fenglong was already filled with excitement.

“Is it really that powerful?” he asked excitedly.

“Don’t believe me? Ask around. The news has already spread. I’m sure other Cosmic Sovereigns will tell you the same soon,” Sovereign Pankel said. “We must act quickly. The news mentioned the Magma Sea, and Luo Feng is at Yanshui Lake. That must be correct!”

Sovereign Fenglong nodded gravely.

“Such a rare artifact is hard to come by,” Sovereign Pankel sighed.

“Let’s go for it!” Sovereign Fenglong exclaimed. “Opportunities like this are rare across endless eons. If we don’t seize it now, when will we?”

“Where is Luo Feng now?” Sovereign Pankel asked urgently.

“He’s still within the Yanshui Lake area. Based on the location where I last met him and the direction he left, I can roughly guess where he is now. Let’s send Youya to intercept him at a reference coordinate!” Sovereign Fenglong said. “We should surround him as soon as possible.”

When Luo Feng first made a name for himself in the Qingfeng Realm, many experts learned about his treasure-wing artifact and its control over space and time, capable of suppressing top-tier domain-type artifacts.

Although it was considered valuable, it wasn’t enough to entice Sovereign Fenglong.

Now, the situation was different.

Wuhun Sovereign personally used a peak domain-type artifact, yet it was still suppressed! And Luo Feng’s divine power was clearly weaker… This meant that the treasure-wing artifact had instantly become second only to the supreme artifacts in value! Even the supreme artifacts are rare within the Purple Moon Holy Land, and artifacts at the level of the Extinction God Armor or Silver-Wing Treasure are extremely uncommon. At least Sovereign Fenglong didn’t possess one.

How could such a golden opportunity be missed?

In the first minor universe of the Flame God Clan.

“Qiujian has perished. I wonder how Wuhun is doing. Wuhun hasn’t come out of the temple for a while, which makes us all anxious.”

“Wuhun might have perished in his main body or might be struggling for a chance at survival. No one dares to disturb him.”

“Let’s wait.”

Dozens of figures gathered anxiously, waiting. As members of the same clan, they share both glory and disgrace. Qiujian Sovereign’s status among the Cosmic Sovereigns was nothing special, but Wuhun Sovereign was definitely one of the flag bearers of the Flame God Clan. His “Extinction God Armor” had long been renowned. If he truly perished, it would be a significant loss both in terms of clan prestige and treasures.

At the boundary between the Magma Sea and Yanshui Lake, there was a vast expanse of void.

The void twisted, with extreme heat and cold intermingling, causing the space to distort and mist to rise.

“Boom~~~” A grotesque beast tore through the Magma Sea, bursting forth and flying into the twisted void. It had thick four hooves, three pairs of wings, and nine tails. It also had five heads: vine-entwined strange heads, a horned lizard head radiating a fierce aura, and a dragon head surrounded by flames…

Five heads, a strong lion-like body, four hooves, six wings, nine tails, and its body was covered in rolling magma.

“Roar~~” The beast raised its heads and let out five different sounds—some deep, some high-pitched, some hoarse—each filled with madness and joy.

Its body trembled, shaking off all the magma.

Then the grotesque beast quickly shrank and transformed, eventually becoming a peculiar divine armor that landed on a figure—a powerful member of the Flame God Clan—Wuhun Sovereign. Wuhun Sovereign’s eyes were filled with madness. The black scales covering his body bore faint traces, seemingly damaged.

“Aaaaaaahhh…” The Wuhun Sovereign threw back his head and let out a furious roar. The thunderous sound shook the void, causing the distant lake waters above to tremble and forcing the massive magma flows below to recoil in shock.

This roar released all the madness, anger, tension, and pressure accumulated over the past five days.

“I survived.”

“I survived. I, Wuhun, survived.” Wuhun Sovereign gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and his entire body trembled slightly. “It’s been so long, so very long since I was pushed to such a desperate situation. Silver-Wing Lord Luo Feng, you’re ruthless, ruthless indeed… forcing me into such a dire strait, causing my Jinchandian to be destroyed… Fortunately, my Extinction God Armor can use secret techniques to transform into the Five Beast Gods, which are sufficient to rival the defense of peak palace-type artifacts.”

“My precious Extinction God Armor has sustained some damage.”

“Although the damage is minor, this is the Extinction God Armor!” Wuhun Sovereign felt heartache. His strength almost entirely relied on this Extinction God Armor. Many of his secret techniques could only reach terrifying levels of power when channeled through the armor.

“I regret it, I deeply regret it. At that time, as soon as I saw Luo Feng, I should have used my full strength and immediately unleashed the Five Beast Great Extinction!” Wuhun Sovereign was both angry and furious. However, he had forgotten that when he first spotted Luo Feng, he was still far away and couldn’t launch a close-range attack.

He could only attack through the Waterwave Prison.

“I survived!”

“I’m still alive! Luo Feng, you will come to know what regret truly means!” Wuhun Sovereign was furious. How could he swallow this bitter pill? If he did, then the outside world would spread rumors that Wuhun Sovereign was afraid of Luo Feng. He must personally kill Luo Feng to wash away the humiliation Luo Feng had brought him.

“Die!” Wuhun Sovereign instantly flipped his hand, pulling out an oval disc-shaped spaceship. This was the heirloom of Qiujian Sovereign after his death, also a top-tier palace-type artifact.

Wuhun Sovereign quickly climbed inside.

Zoooom!

The disc-shaped spaceship shot into the icy Yanshui Lake.

A slender figure with three faces—demonic, holy, and hazy—dressed in form-fitting black battle armor, the Purple Moon Clan woman appeared in the void with a blink. Immediately, a dazzling emerald light descended from the endless void—it was a domain-type artifact.

“Fenglong, Pankel, I have arrived at the second reference coordinate. The previous coordinate didn’t have him. I hope this one does.”

“I have used the domain-type artifact to scan… it is him!!! Fenglong, your guess was correct. That Silver-Wing Lord Luo Feng is indeed within this area.” Within the Divine Realm of the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, their three avatars were together.
