Chapter 1309: A Sudden Surge in Power

Even the calm Dark Sovereign couldn’t help but feel excited at this moment. Throughout the entire Cosmic Sea, who could capture more than 70 Cosmic Sovereigns at once?

“Rise!” Holding his breath, the Dark Sovereign extended his right hand. The black pyramid in his palm immediately flew out and rapidly expanded, soon becoming a towering structure hundreds of millions of kilometers tall. At the same time, a massive abyss appeared at the pyramid’s base, directly aiming at the black disc-shaped palace treasure ahead.

Seeing this, Luo Feng smiled slightly. A Primordial God Eye appeared in his palm. There were now two Primordial God Eyes: one held by his Mosha Clan clone and the other by his true self.

“Go!” Luo Feng extended his palm toward the disc-shaped palace treasure. The divine power seawater around him automatically parted to form a path. Even if occasionally affected by the surrounding forces, Luo Feng’s willpower ensured no real harm.

Boom!

An invisible wave of willpower surged toward the disc. Inside the palace, there were a total of 72 Cosmic Sovereigns. Under this powerful willpower assault, 65 of them immediately collapsed. Only seven remained conscious. These seven were all extremely strong-willed and true elites, possessing a total of eleven divine bodies.

“It’s a willpower attack!”

“Block it!”

“Bayer, what should we do?”

The eleven divine forms of the seven surviving Cosmic Sovereigns were completely thrown into chaos. The weaker-willed Cosmic Sovereigns had already fallen and couldn’t help. With only these seven remaining, how could they resist? Moreover, the nearest palace treasures of the Free Alliance were nearly a hundred billion kilometers away. There was no time to call for help.

“It’s the Black Prison Tower sucking us in.”

“Block it.”

“Hold on! If we are sucked into the Black Prison Tower, we’re finished!”

The seven Cosmic Sovereigns panicked and grew even more desperate.

But no matter how desperate they became, things were different now. Previously, when so many Cosmic Sovereigns were together, they could jointly attack the divine power seawater and resist the obstacles of the “Five-Color Aurora Lake” and the “Golden Realm.” Now, with only seven remaining, it was difficult even to control the palace treasure and attempt to move it. At this moment, they were being sucked into the Black Prison Tower…

If it were only the Black Prison Tower’s suction, they might still resist.

But the relentless divine power seawater kept crashing against them, pushing the palace treasure further and further toward the Black Prison Tower!

“No, we can’t hold anymore.”

“We can’t hold anymore! No, no!” These Cosmic Sovereigns were unwilling to perish.

Far away at the core territory of the Free Alliance, on an island surrounded by endless golden waves, more than 400 Cosmic Sovereigns of the Free Alliance and the Shihua Island Lord had all left divine power clones here.

“We can’t hold anymore.”

“We’ve been hit by a willpower attack, and only seven remain capable of resistance. We’re being doubly suppressed by the Five-Color Aurora Lake and the divine power seawater, and the Black Prison Tower is sucking us in… We can’t resist. The palace is flying toward the Black Prison Tower.”

“Everyone, please save us.”

On those thrones, especially in one area, many divine power clones of the Cosmic Sovereigns sat motionless and unconscious, with only seven still in a state of extreme anxiety.

“We’re too far away to reach you.”

“The divine power seawater and the Five-Color Aurora Lake are creating too much resistance. We can’t accelerate, can’t even reach light speed, let alone enter the dark universe. What should we do? What should we do?” Although the Cosmic Sovereigns of other palace treasures had not yet faced a life-threatening crisis, seeing their comrades in such a state made them equally anxious and worried.

Suddenly, the seven anxious Cosmic Sovereigns displayed a look of despair: “We’ve been sucked into the Black Prison Tower.”

“All 72 of us have been sucked into the Black Prison Tower.”

Instantly, the surroundings fell silent.

72 Cosmic Sovereigns?

Heavens!

After a brief silence, the surviving Cosmic Sovereigns of the Free Alliance grew even more anxious: “It’s that willpower attack artifact! If not for that willpower attack, with more than 70 Cosmic Sovereigns working together, even temporarily trapped in the endless divine power seawater, the Black Prison Tower wouldn’t have been able to suck us in.”

“Right, that willpower attack artifact eliminated our numerical advantage. More than 70 Cosmic Sovereigns instantly collapsed, with only seven remaining capable of resistance.”

“What should we do?”

“If only we hadn’t split into six teams back then. If all 400-plus Cosmic Sovereigns had gathered together, even if hit by a willpower attack, there might still have been dozens capable of resistance. Plus, the Shihua Island Lord was with us. We wouldn’t have been so passive.”

“Who could have imagined Luo Feng would create this endless divine power seawater to trap us!”

The Free Alliance was in a panic.

The reason they had split into six teams initially was both because of the six factions and their plan to divide into six subunits if joining the allied forces. If hit by a willpower attack, it would only affect part of their combat strength. If they had gathered together, it would have meant their combat strength being reduced by 90%.

“Hahaha!” Even the normally reserved and cold Dark Sovereign couldn’t help but burst into laughter at this moment. The massive black pyramid immediately shrank rapidly and landed directly in his palm.

“More than 70 Cosmic Sovereigns, captured in one fell swoop.” Standing in the surging divine power seawater, the Dark Sovereign couldn’t help but display a proud expression. “Even among the strongest Cosmic Sovereigns in the Cosmic Sea, I doubt many have ever achieved something like this.”

Then he looked at Luo Feng beside him.

He clearly understood…

Achieving such a great success was due to many special factors. First, the Primordial God Eye, a rare treasure capable of launching a willpower attack that eliminated their numerical advantage. Second, the divine power seawater and the Five-Color Aurora Lake entangled them, preventing their escape. Third, Luo Feng had managed to withstand soul attacks from more than 800 Cosmic Sovereigns and more than ten top experts, leaving the allied forces unable to harm Luo Feng and forcing them to struggle in the endless divine power seawater.

“Luo Feng, I really must thank you this time,” said the Dark Sovereign, looking at Luo Feng.

“Luck,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Achieving this outcome required the convergence of multiple factors. Missing even one would have made it impossible. Moreover, my Endless Abyss makes movement extremely difficult. If the allied forces had managed to escape this time, we might never have gotten another opportunity like this.”

Movement is difficult in the Endless Abyss.

If the enemy is far away, the Endless Sea is powerless.

If the enemy escapes this time, they could easily flee far beyond several light-years. Unless humanity remains perpetually within the influence of the Endless Abyss, once they venture beyond this domain and lose the advantage of the Endless Abyss, they would be utterly at the enemy’s mercy!

“Therefore!” the Dark Sovereign said coldly, “We must seize this opportunity while they are trapped in your Abyssal Sea and capture as many as possible! This way, the number of Cosmic Sovereigns in our camp will greatly increase.”

“Exactly,” Luo Feng nodded seriously. “This kind of opportunity may not come again. We must capture as many Cosmic Sovereigns as possible.”

Inside the Black Prison Tower.

The 72 captured alien Cosmic Sovereigns had just fallen into that endless dark space when they heard a voice: “Honorable members of the Free Alliance, please don’t worry. As long as you don’t oppose humanity and are willing to assist us, humanity will not kill you.”

“We are willing to assist humanity.”

“We are willing to assist!”

“We are willing to join the human camp.” Many desperate alien Cosmic Sovereigns immediately shouted out upon hearing this voice. After all, joining the human camp wasn’t that big of a deal. Previously, many had considered it, but chose to help the allied forces because the Purple Moon Holy Land offered better benefits.

However, no benefit is worth more than one’s life.

One by one, they surrendered. Even those with multiple divine forms and no immediate danger were willing to defect! After all, they didn’t want to abandon their primary battle divine forms or the countless treasures accumulated over endless eons.

Under the combined suppression of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and the Golden Realm over the Qiqu Starlight Lake, the allied forces and the Free Alliance were unable to instantly discern each other’s situation. It wasn’t until the Northern Border Lord’s consciousness traversed the distance and directly communicated with the Shihua Island Lord that the latter finally stated: “The human side has employed a willpower attack artifact—the Black Prison Tower, divine seawater, and the Five-Colored Aurora Lake in tandem to capture one of our Free Alliance subunits.”

“What!”

This news immediately shocked the Northern Border Lord. The main human forces were still engaged in repeated divine power attacks and battles with the allied forces. It turned out that was just a show, while the real decisive move was happening elsewhere.

“Everyone! The human side has used a willpower attack artifact, the Black Prison Tower, divine power seawater, and other combined forces to capture a Free Alliance subunit. Everyone be careful and don’t let the humans succeed.” The Northern Border Lord immediately transmitted this message through voice projection or mind transmission to every Cosmic Supreme.

Mind projection…

This is a special ability of the Cosmic Supremes.

Normal cultivators, even those reaching the Cosmic Sovereign level, must rely on the “Primordial Cosmic Essence.” Everything they possess, such as divine power, is granted by the Primordial Cosmic Essence. Therefore, they cannot resist the various rules of the cosmic essence, no matter how strong they become, because their power source is the “Primordial Cosmic Essence.”

However, the Cosmic Supremes possess their own universes. They rely solely on themselves. Therefore, they can easily resist the “Dark Universe Summoning,” exceed light speed while remaining in the original universe, and easily project their minds across endless space and time to distant locations…

Of course, there are also weaknesses.

For example, innate secret techniques granted by the Primordial Cosmic Essence, such as the ability to create clones, are completely lost. They no longer receive any gifts from the Primordial Cosmic Essence and must rely entirely on themselves.

“Not good!” The Father God of the Mechanical Race also transmitted his mind urgently, saying, “We cannot allow the humans to capture the Cosmic Sovereigns of the Free Alliance. The Free Alliance has a large number of Cosmic Sovereigns. If the humans capture them, they might soon switch sides to the human camp. Then the human camp’s strength will greatly increase… Even without using these underhanded tactics like divine power seawater, we won’t be able to suppress them anymore.”

“Hurry.”

Here is the translation:

“We must immediately depart from the vicinity of this Endless Nethersea. Moreover, we should do everything in our power to assist the Free Alliance. Every subunit we save means one fewer subunit seized by the humans. The Free Alliance has six teams in total, with one currently under the protection of the Shihua Island Lord. This means the humans could potentially capture up to five subunits, amounting to more than 300 Cosmic Sovereigns… Should they all be captured, the number of Cosmic Sovereigns in the human faction would skyrocket to over 500, surpassing half the total in the entire Primordial Universe! We would then lose any opportunity to suppress humanity forever.”

“Hurry.”

The allied forces panicked, but understanding the situation was one thing; whether they could act accordingly was another.
