Chapter 1265: The War Begins!

“All the Cosmic Sovereigns and the Immortal Kings shall enter the Zuyao Universe!” commanded both Zuyao of the Yaos.

The war began!

The Immortal Kings and Cosmic Sovereigns were potential candidates for future Cosmic Lords and thus could not be risked. As for Domain Lords and World Kings, it was uncertain whether any could ascend to Cosmic Sovereigns, and even if many died, more would soon emerge again.

Within the virtual space of the Yao race:

“Zhenjiao, I will personally lead this expedition this time!” said the giant silver serpent. “You defend the clan in case of emergencies.”

“Okay,” replied the serrated-shelled beast. “The Insect Race and the Machine Race each have only one Cosmic Overlord, while we have two…you going out is sufficient! Carry my token with you; if the battle turns critical, I will arrive immediately.”

“Alright.”

…

Shortly afterward, at the same location, Zhenzu Yao and Mengzu Yao observed the twelve powerful Yao warriors before them.

Meng Zuyao declared: “This battle is about seizing the foundation of humanity, and the human race will undoubtedly retaliate with full force. This time, I will personally lead you all, and naturally, I will ensure your protection! However, the twelve of you must split into four teams. Each team of three should fight together, and in critical moments, two teams can merge, or even all twelve unite… In short, prioritize your safety. Your mission is to support me! I am the main force in this battle.”

“Yes, Yao.”

The twelve Yao Cosmic Lords were excited and full of anticipation.

A tripartite alliance.

This was practically a plan to annihilate the entire human race. With just the twelve of them, they could already wreak havoc freely within human territory—let alone under the leadership of Zu Meng.

“Move out!” ordered Meng Zuyao.

…

In the distant Insect Race territory.

A colossal purple sphere, trillions of kilometers tall, floated in space. Its surface bore layers of twisted, coiled patterns resembling human blood vessels.

“Whoosh!”

A streak of light approached from afar, and the massive purple sphere automatically split open, creating a passageway through which the streak swiftly entered.

Moments later, another streak of light arrived.

One after another, streaks of light flew continuously into the purple sphere.

“Empress!”

Inside a magnificent hall within the massive purple sphere.

Six Insect Race Queens, each wrapped in a faintly shimmering, translucent veil-like garment, respectfully bowed to the Insect Empress seated on the throne.

The Insect Empress gazed down at them, speaking slowly in a voice filled with infinite allure, now laced with a hint of killing intent: “We must obtain the inheritance of the Dondonghe bloodline, through which our Insect Race can transcend samsara! In this battle… all six of you shall remain within my War Nest, controlling the insect warriors under your command. You have been prepared to the utmost for this battle. Though there are only six of you, combined, your power may rival twenty or even thirty Cosmic Lords of the Yao and Machine Races.”

“How can the Yao and Machine Races compare to our Insect Race?” one Insect Queen remarked. “One-on-one, we already have the advantage. In group battles, our advantage is even greater. This time, we are using our reserves and operating within the Empress’s War Nest, so we need not worry about our safety. Each of us can unleash our maximum combat power.”

“The six of us can coordinate attacks, focusing solely on one Cosmic Lord. Even if the opponent is strong enough to survive, they might be overwhelmed and directly subdued or sealed.”

“Right.”

“Our combined power will absolutely reach the peak within the Prime Universe.”

The six Insect Queens were very confident.

“Then let’s show the humans how formidable our Insect Race is,” the Empress on the throne said softly with a smile.

Her laughter was captivating, yet it carried absolute killing intent and mercilessness.

…

In the silent Machine Universe.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, towering figures resembling metal statues teleported from all directions to the surrounding area and then flew rapidly toward the massive black oval sphere.

“Father God!”

“Father God!”

“Father God!” powerful mental messages spread out.

“Go, to the Prime Universe, to human territory!” the black oval sphere spoke. The towering metal figures responded in unison and then flew into the cosmic passage together.

…

The Yao, Insect, and Machine Races acted very quickly, launching their actions on the same day the news was secretly spread by the Jail Race.

Meanwhile, the human race remained constantly vigilant and under surveillance.

…

In the Prime Universe, at Chaos City.

Currently, Chaos City had become the true core of the human race, where the Dark Lord, Penggong Lord, and Luo Feng resided.

“Junior Disciple, Penggong, Luo Feng! Hurry!” a voice instantly echoed throughout three different corners of Chaos City—the locations of Luo Feng, the Dark Lord, and Penggong Lord.

Luo Feng, seated cross-legged in a quiet hall, opened his eyes.

“Has it begun?” Luo Feng murmured softly.

Swoosh!

He teleported instantly.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, the main hall.

Three figures almost simultaneously teleported in, exchanging glances before turning their heads to look at the Chaos City Lord standing before them.

“Chaos, has the news leaked?” the Dark Lord asked.

Chaos City Lord nodded: “The news has just spread, and Ancestor told me… his virtual universe has already detected movements from the Yao, Machine, and Insect Races. It won’t be long before teams of super-powerful beings come to attack. We must prepare immediately.”

“Ancestor?” Luo Feng, the Dark Lord, and Penggong Lord all showed a hint of surprise.

“I haven’t told you all this before.”

Chaos City Lord said solemnly: “Ancestor’s virtual universe covers the entire Prime Universe! Unless a Cosmic Overlord uses his power to forcibly alter a region, thereby expelling the virtual universe. So, except for a few rare regions like the Star of Origin, every place covered by the virtual universe is as if Ancestor himself is watching it!”

“Oh.” Luo Feng, the Dark Lord, and Penggong Lord immediately showed delight.

They were pleased by Ancestor’s capability.

Even more pleasing was the fact that this technique allowed constant surveillance of the entire battlefield, with Ancestor’s monitoring range being so vast, almost encompassing the entire Prime Universe.

“If a Cosmic Overlord acts, even if he forces the virtual universe away,” Chaos City Lord continued, “Ancestor can determine which area has expelled the virtual universe, thereby deducing the approximate location of the Cosmic Overlord.”

“Mm.”

“Right.”

Luo Feng and the others nodded.

“The news has just spread, and even if the Yao, Insect, and Machine Races need some time to organize, it won’t be long now.” Chaos City Lord said urgently. “You three are the main forces this time! Act immediately. Also, if you urgently need any peak treasures within the race now, you can apply to use them.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng, the Dark Lord, and Penggong Lord were slightly surprised but then understood naturally.

That made sense.

“I do lack a peak domain-type treasure,” Luo Feng smiled. “But I have peak palace-type treasures to exchange for one.”

“I also need an illusion-type treasure for support,” the Dark Lord nodded slightly.

“Alright, act quickly. I’ll arrange for other Cosmic Lords…” Chaos City Lord said. “Later, other Cosmic Lords will be divided into three teams, each following you to provide support. Although their individual strength may not be enough, combined, they can still be of great help.”

Luo Feng and the others nodded and immediately departed.

…

During the previous battle for the inheritance of the Dondonghe bloodline, many powerful beings of the Divine Eye Race perished, and some peak treasures were looted from the Boat of the Tombs.

Among them was a peak soul-type treasure!

Though no peak domain-type treasure was obtained, one was acquired from the race’s reserves.

“The race’s reserves… the majority were left behind by the Ax Creator,” Luo Feng sighed.

“The Yi Wu Wings, now totaling three pairs.”

“Even when combined, their power hasn’t increased… it might be better to separate them for now.” Luo Feng had already planned this out. The first two pairs of Yi Wu Wings were worn on his Earthman avatar, allowing him to fully utilize the ‘Golden Kingdom,’ combined with a peak domain-type treasure! This spatial constraint would be extremely powerful.

As for the white wings?

They were carried by the Jingu Beast avatar. The white wings were used as ‘blade wings,’ sharp and powerful enough already. When combined with the ‘Nirvana Rebirth,’ their might would be formidable indeed.

…

Soon.

Luo Feng, the Dark Lord, and Penggong Lord gathered again in the main hall. This time, twelve Cosmic Lords were present.

“They twelve will be divided into three groups, each following one of you three,” Chaos City Lord said solemnly. “The team led by Voidgold Lord will follow Penggong Lord. The team led by Qingdong Lord will follow the Dark Lord. The team led by Icepeak Lord will follow Luo Feng!”

“You all should prepare yourselves. Once we detect any movement from the three races, I will notify you immediately.”

“Alright.”

“Okay.”

“I’ve been waiting impatiently for this.”

Each Cosmic Lord brimmed with killing intent. The humans were, by nature, very proud.

Dare they come against humanity? Then come, let’s fight!

“Luo Feng, stay behind,” Chaos City Lord said.

The others departed.

Chaos City Lord addressed Luo Feng: “Are you certain about the combat capability of your Jingu Beast avatar?”

“Absolutely certain,” Luo Feng nodded. “Its power burst won’t be inferior to a Cosmic Overlord. The only drawbacks compared to a Cosmic Overlord are its escape speed and endurance in battle. However, I have many protective measures, and under normal circumstances, it can fight for a long time while burning divine energy.”

Jokingly.

In Luo Feng’s arrangement, his Jingu Beast avatar possessed treasures like the Star Tower and the white wings—both considered supreme treasures. The will impact from the divine blood on the white wings was also terrifying. Combined… its combat power was indeed formidable.

“Alright,” Chaos City Lord nodded.

“Good, the combat capability of this avatar shall remain undisclosed for now,” Chaos City Lord continued. “This time, your group, the Dark Lord’s group, and Penggong’s group are the main forces. Your Jingu Beast avatar’s combat capability will serve as a mobile reserve, ready to handle any unexpected situations.”

“Alright,” Luo Feng nodded.

“Go,” Chaos City Lord said. “Once there’s any movement, I will notify you immediately. But it won’t be long. I estimate the three races’ actions will occur today.”
