In the main hall of the Hong Alliance Palace, located in the inner city of the Hong Alliance City within the Virtual Universe, numerous Universe Masters had gathered.
“I just heard about it recently from the Second Cycle Era, and I don’t even know if it’s true,” Flint Sovereign anxiously looked around, “Luo Feng has done me a favor. If he is in danger…”
“This news is likely false,” Void Gold Sovereign shook his head, “Back then, I entered the Universe Vessel with Hun Dun, who had strictly ordered Luo Feng not to go further. Plus, Luo Feng’s strength was weak; he wouldn’t dare to venture into the inner domain and end up at the God-Annihilation Ravine. Moreover, how could he possibly fight against the likes of the Five Hun Sovereign to such an extent?”
“Mm.”
“Right,” nodded the gathered Universe Masters.
During the First Cycle Era, the Five Hun Sovereign was someone who could rival the Hun Dun City Lord.
“Don’t panic. I have some connections with several Universe Masters from the Zi Yue Holy Land. I’ll ask around,” Peng Gong Sovereign smiled. Immediately, over a dozen Universe Masters in the hall turned their attention to Peng Gong Sovereign. Though usually quiet, Peng Gong’s power was on par with Hun Dun City Lord’s, giving him an extremely high status.
Peng Gong Sovereign’s expression gradually turned solemn.
“It’s confirmed.”
Peng Gong Sovereign swept his gaze around the hall, “Luo Feng indeed reached the God-Annihilation Ravine in the inner domain of the Universe Vessel and fought against Yin Tuo Sovereign, Five Hun Sovereign, and Qiong Jian Sovereign. Then the Lava Demon God appeared, severely injuring Yin Tuo Sovereign unprecedentedly, forcing Qiong Jian Sovereign and Five Hun Sovereign into the Lava Sea. Qiong Jian Sovereign perished, while Five Hun Sovereign managed to cross the Lava Sea, although he must have suffered significant losses.”
“This…”
“Is this true?”
Inside the main hall of the Hong Alliance Palace, each race’s Universe Masters were shocked and stunned.
Qiong Jian perished?
Yin Tuo severely injured, and Five Hun forced to cross the Lava Sea?
“Are you sure, Peng Gong?” Void Gold Sovereign couldn’t help but ask. After all, Qiong Jian Sovereign was on par with him in strength.
“Confirmed,” Peng Gong Sovereign nodded, “Let me summon Hun Dun.”
Moments later—
Upon learning the news, Hun Dun City Lord was also stunned. His first action was to immediately summon Luo Feng: “Luo Feng, come here now.”
“Master, Peng Gong Sovereign, Void Gold Sovereign, everyone…” Luo Feng appeared in the hall, greeting everyone present.
“Galactic Lord.”
“Galactic Lord.” Each of them called out, their voices carrying a hint of respect. Previously, because Luo Feng was a newly promoted Universe Master, the other Universe Masters didn’t hold him in high regard, merely showing politeness on the surface. But this incident was huge, resulting in Qiong Jian Sovereign’s death, severely injuring the seemingly immortal Yin Tuo, and forcing the formidable Five Hun Sovereign to risk crossing the Lava Sea.
Respect!
“Is it true about your battle with Yin Tuo, Five Hun Sovereign, and Qiong Jian Sovereign?” Hun Dun City Lord asked.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded, “Yin Tuo was kicked twice by the Lava Demon God, and even his Golden Sun Armor might have been damaged. As for Yin Tuo, even if he survives, his divine body probably isn’t in good shape anymore.”
“Qiong Jian Sovereign’s Blade Core Realm is in Five Hun Sovereign’s hands, so he likely is truly dead.”
“Five Hun Sovereign crossed the Lava Sea, and he must have suffered significant losses.”
Luo Feng spoke directly, causing Hun Dun City Lord, Void Gold Sovereign, and the other powerful beings’ hearts to race. This was a life-or-death battle.
“And you?” Hun Dun City Lord pressed.
“Of course, I had no choice but to cross the Lava Sea as well,” Luo Feng replied.
Instantly, the group of Universe Masters felt their hearts tighten. Crossing the Lava Sea? It was practically suicidal.
“I barely survived crossing it and arrived at the Yan Shui Lake, but then I was pursued by Feng Long Sovereign, Pan Ke Sovereign, You Ya Sovereign from the Zi Yue Holy Land, and the surprisingly resilient Five Hun Sovereign. The four of them teamed up to hunt me down…” Luo Feng stated directly, “Now I’m fleeing for my life, and my master summoned me here.”
“Four? Feng Long Sovereign and Five Hun Sovereign?” Hun Dun City Lord held his breath.
Luo Feng nodded.
“What should we do now? What can we do?” Hun Dun City Lord frowned, “Even if I rush to Yan Shui Lake, it will take me decades. And the Founder Giant Axe is still at Qing Feng Realm… Who can save you?”
“There’s no time to save him,” Void Gold Sovereign shook his head.
Peng Gong Sovereign also frowned.
But Luo Feng directly said, “Master, please don’t worry. This battle has gone this far. Five Hun Sovereign and I are now enemies to the death… I will sacrifice my main combat avatar if necessary. I won’t retreat even an inch. They are currently chasing me, and I can’t afford any distractions. I’ll withdraw for now.”
With a bow, Luo Feng vanished with a flash.
“Enemies to the death?” Hun Dun City Lord, Peng Gong Sovereign, and others felt their hearts tighten, but they were helpless.
“Amazing.”
Other Universe Masters, especially those from the Hong Alliance’s subordinate races, felt their hearts tremble. Killing Qiong Jian Sovereign was one thing, but now fighting Five Hun Sovereign to the death and clashing with Feng Long Sovereign from the Zi Yue Holy Land? This was utterly insane. Normally, they wouldn’t dare provoke terrifying beings like Feng Long Sovereign and Five Hun Sovereign.
…
“Luo Feng, keep running, run as far as you can. Let’s see how long you can escape. If I don’t kill you, how can I maintain my standing in the Universe Sea?” Five Hun Sovereign roared, “You’re doomed, doomed!!”
“Doomed? Killing requires strength, not just words! Just shut up!” Luo Feng, far away, rushed upward.
Luo Feng was flying at the very top.
Pan Ke Sovereign and You Ya Sovereign were the closest to him, merely less than 100 million kilometers below him. At their speed of a hundred times light speed, they could close the distance in mere seconds.
Five Hun Sovereign and Feng Long Sovereign were approaching from different directions diagonally, their distances from Luo Feng significantly greater… Five Hun Sovereign was over a trillion kilometers away from Luo Feng, while Feng Long Sovereign was even farther.
“Whoosh~~”
The higher he flew, the colder it became.
At the very top, the coldest wind carried the ever-present Frost Lake Thunderfire.
Looking up, endless flames filled the highest reaches of the sky, existing like this for countless eons. Occasionally, major fluctuations would ripple downward… even affecting the Yan Shui Lake below, causing the entire lake to freeze completely.
If it didn’t ripple downward, it remained at the highest altitude.
“The top is Frost Lake Thunderfire!”
“We’ve been flying for days, and the top is still Frost Lake Thunderfire. Why is Silver Wing Lord Luo Feng still flying upward? Frost Lake Thunderfire is extremely cold; even top-tier palace-class treasures would freeze and shatter in it. It’s terrifying. However, it seems he must possess a peak palace-class treasure.”
Flash!
Luo Feng at high altitude instantly dove into a crimson pyramid, riding it directly into the endless Frost Lake Thunderfire at the very top.
“Yao Ya, come in,” Pan Ke Sovereign also took out a silver-white sphere, complex runes covering its surface. As both of them entered it, the sphere quickly dove into the vast Frost Lake Thunderfire.
After a long while—
“Fleeing into Frost Lake Thunderfire? No matter where you run, you won’t escape!” Five Hun Sovereign’s eyes burned with fury. Instantly, his Annihilation Divine Armor disintegrated, soon condensing into the Five Beast God. He was inside the Five Beast God, controlling it… and dove into the Frost Lake Thunderfire.
A little later, Feng Long Sovereign also rode his peak palace-class treasure into the Frost Lake Thunderfire.
“Strange.”
“Luo Feng’s speed has slowed.”
“Yes, he’s decelerating. This is really odd,” Pan Ke Sovereign and You Ya Sovereign, following Luo Feng closely, were puzzled.
“Feng Long, Luo Feng’s flight speed has slowed.”
“Just keep following. The front is a dead end; he can’t escape,” Feng Long Sovereign replied.
…
Luo Feng slowed down, so Pan Ke Sovereign and You Ya Sovereign, knowing they couldn’t overpower Luo Feng, also slowed their pace. Meanwhile, Five Hun Sovereign and Feng Long Sovereign behind kept advancing at maximum speed.
One slowed, one accelerated.
The distance between Five Hun Sovereign and Luo Feng grew closer, six hundred billion kilometers, five hundred billion, four hundred billion… one hundred billion, fifty billion, ten billion, one billion…
“Luo Feng, you’re really asking for death. If I don’t kill you, I’d be betraying your determination to die,” Five Hun Sovereign’s voice was filled with endless killing intent.
“Five Hun, chasing me for so long, you truly have perseverance. Do you know what lies ahead?” Luo Feng gradually slowed, his voice naturally transmitted through his Golden Domain to Five Hun Sovereign’s ears.
“That’s a dead end,” Five Hun Sovereign said.
“Yes, it’s a dead end. To be precise, it’s the Twelve Abysses,” Luo Feng replied.
At the very top of the Yan Shui Lake space, there was Frost Lake Thunderfire.
How did Frost Lake Thunderfire originate?
It came from the Twelve Abysses. The Twelve Abysses were twelve immense infinite spaces. Among them, six Abysses continuously spewed out extremely cold Frost Lake Thunderfire, while the other six Abysses constantly absorbed infinite Frost Lake Thunderfire, forming a cycle. Once the eruption force exceeded the absorption force, infinite Frost Lake Thunderfire would ripple downward, affecting the Yan Shui Lake below.
And the Abysses were dead ends!
They were dead ends for two reasons: first, once you entered, there was no other way out, and you could only return the way you came.
Second, entering the Abysses meant certain death unless you were the strongest being in the universe. Even Universe Sovereigns with supreme treasures dared not enter. To go in was to walk a path of no return.
“Abysses…” Luo Feng flew upward. Above, the endless Frost Lake Thunderfire was already being absorbed, forming a twisted massive vortex. An expansive, infinite abyss black hole appeared above, its powerful suction forcing Luo Feng to rely on both the Star Tower and the Golden Domain together to resist.
“You want to scare me? Hmph, the closer you get to the Abyss, the stronger the suction becomes. However, your ability to withstand the suction force is definitely inferior to mine. You’re doomed!” The monstrous Five Beast God roared, transforming into a streak of light, charging toward Luo Feng.
Luo Feng looked up at the endless dark abyss above. This was an even more terrifying place than the Lava Sea. Even if he fell into the abyss, he couldn’t escape.
“Don’t regret if you come any closer,” Luo Feng said.
“Haha, regret should be yours,” the Five Beast God roared, its massive hoof already trampling toward the crimson pyramid.
“I’m no match for you, so…” Luo Feng murmured softly.
Boom~~~
A micro-universe instantly came into being, completely enveloping Five Hun Sovereign and Luo Feng. The massive micro-universe couldn’t resist the overwhelming suction force at all. It didn’t even try to resist and was instantly sucked into the endless dark abyss. As the micro-universe collapsed under the suction force, Five Hun Sovereign, already deep within the abyss, struggled desperately but it was too late…
“No!” Five Hun Sovereign was furious. The Five Beast God frantically tried to fly back.
“It’s my honor to have Five Hun Sovereign accompany me on this path of no return,” Luo Feng’s voice echoed in Five Hun Sovereign’s ears.
…
Silence.
Outside the endless abyss black hole, a silver sphere lingered for a moment before a palace appeared there.
“Crazy, crazy,” Pan Ke Sovereign and You Ya Sovereign still trembled slightly.
That was a dead end.
Even Universe Sovereigns with supreme treasures were unwilling to enter.
“This Silver Wing Lord is indeed such a madman, mad at others, and mad at himself,” Feng Long Sovereign also looked at the massive abyss black hole high above, trembling inwardly. He understood that Five Hun Sovereign was finished! Suddenly, he realized how wrong a choice it was to try to seize Luo Feng’s treasures.
“Fortunately, it was Five Hun who was caught, not me,” Feng Long Sovereign couldn’t help but inwardly feel relieved.
