“Request?”
The powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan within Ice Cliff Fortress were so enraged that they wanted to devour the friend of Donghe Feng’s meat, drink his blood, and gnaw his bones!
They were consumed by hatred!
…
The Divine Eye Clan’s seven small universes, the first small universe.
The seven Sovereigns were gathered together, closely watching the progress of this ‘Donghe Clan’ inheritance. They were jealous of Luo Feng and Venerable Blood’s brilliance; they were resentful of their own clan lacking excellent candidates; they were also relieved that the Lord of Witchery had broken through the second bottleneck at the last moment…
Just as they were shaken by the opportunity to transcend samsara, Donghe Feng declared that ‘the Divine Eye Clan is entirely unworthy and must all perish,’ instantly leaving the seven Sovereigns stunned.
It was like a thunderclap to their heads!
Despair!
The seven Sovereigns were overwhelmed with feelings of despair and anger. Why should the Divine Eye Clan be denied the chance to transcend samsara? Why? Why is it so unfair? Why?
Now they knew—it was at the request of Donghe Feng’s friend. It was precisely this friend’s request that caused their clan to lose the opportunity, and even resulted in the deaths of two cosmic peak masters and many elites!
“Who!”
“Who exactly is it!”
“Who is this friend of Donghe Feng!!!” The First Sovereign roared in fury. Instantly, the entire first small universe darkened and trembled.
“Who cut off our chance!”
“Who is it!”
The other Sovereigns were also filled with pain and rage.
…
The 28 candidates of the Divine Eye Clan within Ice Cliff Fortress felt an overwhelming sense of despair, anger, frustration, and resentment…
“Donghe Feng!” The Second Sovereign’s voice rang out, still rational despite his fury. “For this inheritance, our Divine Eye Clan followed your instructions, resisted the monster Kui Luo, and resolved the Rhinoceros Emperor’s formation without any destructive actions. Yet now, you would exterminate our entire Divine Eye Clan just because of someone’s request?”
Donghe Feng looked down upon the Ice Cliff Fortress coldly. “Eliminating you all is but a trivial matter.”
“Is there absolutely no room for negotiation?” The Second Sovereign asked desperately.
“Foolish,” Donghe Feng scoffed.
Hearing this scoff, the Second Sovereign finally felt despair and roared, “Donghe Feng, you old wretch who has been dead for countless samsara cycles, do you really think you can exterminate our Divine Eye Clan? It won’t be that easy. I’d like to see just how much power you, a dead man, truly possess.”
The Seventh Sovereign’s voice also rose, “Donghe Feng, who is your friend? Who wants to destroy our Divine Eye Clan?”
“Who is it!”
“Who exactly is it!” Several more furious voices rose. They desperately wanted to know who the bastard was that had brought their Divine Eye Clan to this desperate situation.
“Be patient.”
Donghe Feng gazed down at the fortress below, “You will find out.” Then he pointed outward…
Whoosh!
One side of the hall’s wall suddenly split open, revealing a passage. The other powerful beings from the various factions in the cosmic sea turned their gaze toward it, eager to discover who the being was that had brought the Divine Eye Clan to this dire strait.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng also looked toward the passage, vaguely seeing a blurred figure slowly emerge. The figure had golden-scaled armor, a humanoid upright form, and a pair of golden wings on its back. It had nine pairs of eyes scanning the crowd… no one dared to meet its gaze directly.
“Is it him?” Seeing the emerging figure, Luo Feng was astonished. “Lei Yi, the Demon God?”
Lei Yi, the Demon God, was a lone Cosmic Peak Master from the Second Cycle Era. Among the Cosmic Peak Masters, he was considered only ordinary, as he didn’t even possess a Supreme Treasure. His famed treasure, the “Lei Yi,” was similar to the Mad God Annihilation Armor. In the cosmic sea, he was known as an extremely low-profile figure.
“Lei Yi?”
“Is it him?”
“Donghe Feng’s friend, Lei Yi, the Demon God?”
Not only was Luo Feng surprised, but figures from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, the Purple Moon Holy Land, and the three Cycle Eras were also shocked. This Demon God, who was so low-profile and rarely made any news, had actually been involved in this matter.
“Lei Yi?”
“Is it you who made Donghe Feng cut off our Divine Eye Clan’s chance and wants to exterminate us?” The Second Sovereign still couldn’t believe it.
“Lei Yi? Is it you?” The Seventh Sovereign also couldn’t believe it.
The Demon God Lei Yi was emerging from the passage. His expression flickered between ferocity and silent laughter, as if he had lost control. After laughing soundlessly for a while, he finally raised his head, trembling all over, and gnashed his teeth, “Yes, it’s me! It’s me, Lei Yi! It’s me, the Demon God Lei Yi, the one who masterminded everything from the shadows!”
“It was I who cut off your Divine Eye Clan’s chance! It was I who wanted to destroy you all! Second Sovereign, Seventh Sovereign… hahaha… over a dozen Cosmic Sovereigns… hahaha…” Lei Yi’s voice trembled.
“Damn you!” The Seventh Sovereign roared.
“Lei Yi, you Demon God, you deserve to die!” The Second Sovereign also shouted.
From below the Ice Cliff Fortress, voices continued to rise.
Lei Yi, the Demon God, stood there, smirking coldly at the fortress. “Deserve to die? I deserve to die? No, it’s you who deserve to die! All of you Divine Eye Clan deserve to die!”
“Accursed Divine Eye Clan!”
“When you sought the Supreme Treasures, the seven Sovereigns joined forces to attack me and Kong Luo. You were ruthless indeed. Kong Luo died… and I barely escaped…” Lei Yi clenched his teeth. “Kong Luo and I were indeed easy targets, not strong enough, without Supreme Treasures… Yes, we were easy targets…”
“You Divine Eye Clan are powerful, rivaling the two Holy Lands in the cosmic sea. How could I, a man without a Supreme Treasure, possibly contend with you? In your presence, I was alone and weak, what was I even worth?” Lei Yi shook his head and laughed, a mad laugh.
“Never expected it, did you!”
“This time, you’ve fallen into my hands!” Lei Yi, the Demon God, stared at the Ice Cliff Fortress, his eyes seemingly burning with flames. “Never expected that a weakling like me, the Demon God Lei Yi, could cause your Divine Eye Clan such a great loss?”
“Why would Donghe Feng listen to you!” A hoarse voice came from within the Ice Cliff Fortress.
“Because… I was the first to enter this Boat of the Mausoleum!!!” Lei Yi, the Demon God, sneered.
…
Silence fell.
Luo Feng and the others were all stunned. It turned out they weren’t the first to enter the Boat of the Mausoleum—it was actually this Demon God Lei Yi? But looking at it now, that must have been the case. They had just arrived at this hall, while Lei Yi had already been here long ago and even became friends with Donghe Feng.
Lei Yi laughed heartily. “You thought the Boat of the Mausoleum would appear here? No, the Boat of the Mausoleum actually appeared in the core area of the Cosmic Ark. The core area is a place even Cosmic Peak Masters dare not recklessly enter, only daring to stay within familiar regions. When the Boat of the Mausoleum appeared, none of you knew… If it weren’t for me being a Cosmic Peak Master, I wouldn’t have been able to accept the inheritance. So how could it have been your turn? That’s why I made a deal with Donghe Feng.”
“To be honest…”
“You should all be grateful to me.” Lei Yi’s gaze swept across, landing on Luo Feng. “Especially you, the Milky Way Human, you should be especially grateful to me.”
Luo Feng smiled slightly.
Lei Yi also laughed heartily. “I should also be grateful to you, grateful that you showed the best performance and were the most promising. And that the Divine Eye Clan didn’t snatch the first position.”
…
The Ice Cliff Fortress was silent.
They truly hadn’t expected that a seemingly weak figure like Lei Yi, who didn’t even possess a Supreme Treasure, could cause the Divine Eye Clan such a devastating loss! Normally, even figures like the Lord of Five Chaos, the Lord of Shadow Ash, or the Lord of Witchery could confront Lei Yi head-on, at most being at a slight disadvantage.
But now, they understood—the situation was dire indeed.
Lei Yi spoke softly, “I gave your Divine Eye Clan the chance to enter.”
“I made you ecstatic with joy!”
“And then…”
“At your most exhilarated moment, I brought you despair!” Lei Yi sneered. “If any of your Divine Eye Clan had been able to rank first in solving the Rhinoceros Emperor’s formation, I would have been troubled. After all, Donghe Feng would never allow me to kill the most promising candidate. But your Divine Eye Clan failed… so you are destined to perish entirely!”
“Then don’t you fear that someone from our Divine Eye Clan might have great potential and come in first? Wouldn’t that mean your attempt to destroy us would instead benefit us?” The Second Sovereign from the Ice Cliff Fortress sneered.
“Hahaha…”
“First, I don’t believe that in the three Cycle Eras, with the two Holy Lands, your Divine Eye Clan could come first,” Lei Yi scoffed. “Second, I am already prepared. If, by some miracle, your Divine Eye Clan actually produced a supremely promising expert… I would rather perish myself than allow him to survive!”
Lei Yi turned his head toward Donghe Feng above and slightly bowed. “Lord Donghe Feng, please forgive my disrespect.”
“I understand.” Donghe Feng nodded slightly.
“Lord Donghe Feng, I’ve held this grudge for too long. Finally, I’ve been able to speak it out.” Lei Yi smiled, looking relieved. “Lord Donghe Feng, you may now take action against them.”
“Very well.” Donghe Feng nodded.
Take action?
The 28 powerful members of the Divine Eye Clan within the Ice Cliff Fortress immediately tensed up.
“Lei Yi, you want to exterminate us? I’d like to see just how capable this old wretch, who has been dead for countless samsara cycles, really is!” The Second Sovereign roared.
“You’ll find out soon enough.” Lei Yi looked at them with a trace of pity in his eyes and sneered. “Moreover, once you perish, your Supreme Treasures will all become mine.”
“Come then, come then, let me see just how strong this dead man can be!” The Second and Seventh Sovereigns both roared.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Ice Cliff Fortress transformed into a streak of light, radiating boundless power, and directly surged toward Lei Yi.
“Seal!” Donghe Feng, looking down, pointed his finger.
Whoosh~~~~~ The walls and floor of the entire hall immediately began emitting countless golden secret runes. Innumerable golden threads condensed in the air, wildly surging toward the Ice Cliff Fortress, wrapping it layer by layer like silk threads, binding it tightly.
“Boom!” The Ice Cliff Fortress struggled violently, causing the surrounding void to tremble.
Yet the countless golden threads continued wrapping and binding it, preventing the fortress from breaking free.
“It can only be sealed, not destroyed.” A voice came from within the Ice Cliff Fortress. “After all, it’s a Supreme Treasure!”
“How ridiculous.”
Donghe Feng looked down, lightly pointing at the ground. The floor split open, revealing a deep abyss from which terrifying auras seeped out. The Ice Cliff Fortress, bound by the golden threads, was forcibly dragged toward the abyss’s entrance.
“This secret technique left behind in this hall may not be able to kill you, but the other dangerous areas I set up as part of the inheritance can destroy you.”
“Supreme Treasure? Ridiculous!”
“In my homeland… there is no such thing as a Supreme Treasure.” Donghe Feng shook his head and sneered.
Whoosh!
The Ice Cliff Fortress struggled violently, and within it, the Second and Seventh Sovereigns roared in fury. However, they were still dragged by the countless golden threads directly into the terrifying abyss with a loud crash. Immediately afterward, the split ground snapped shut, restoring everything to silence.
