FunTranscript
00:00How did he survive?
00:01Luo Feng caught the confusion radiating through his own godly power ocean.
00:06The raw disbelief pouring off every universe.
00:10Master and supreme master in the United Forces camp.
00:13Why couldn't I?
00:15His eyes went cold.
00:16Too late for regrets now.
00:18A thousand combined godly bodies was genuinely terrifying force, no question.
00:24But Luo Feng had proposed this plan, already accepting the worst case.
00:28The Freedom Alliance siding with the enemy.
00:31He'd prepared specifically for a soul attack at exactly this scale.
00:35Material attacks never worried him.
00:37His remote ocean body could grind through a long fight without concern.
00:42Soul attacks were the only real threat, which was exactly why he'd let the earlier.
00:47Ambush from a hundred plus, allied masters land on him first.
00:51As a live test, that strike had reached level eight.
00:54He'd proposed the test believing his godly power was perfected, his mind already at a supreme master's level.
01:02With Star Tower guarding his soul on top of it, enough.
01:06He'd calculated to survive level nine.
01:09Add the three techniques from the Duandong River Inheritance, especially Dwan-mi's ability to accelerate his own godly power burn
01:17rate for a real.
01:18Strength surge, and level ten felt reachable too.
01:22The theory sounded solid.
01:23He hadn't actually been certain.
01:26What genuinely startled him afterward, he hadn't even needed the crazy demon extermination.
01:31Godly armor.
01:33Star Tower alone had handled it.
01:35A level eight strike had barely registered.
01:37Curious.
01:38He'd summoned a fresh remote ocean avatar at a thousand times life gene level.
01:43Put it under Star Tower's guard, and had the same master's strike again, and it absorbed level eight with total
01:50ease.
01:51If this weaker body handles level eight this cleanly, he'd reasoned, the true endless remote ocean should take level nine
02:00without much trouble.
02:02And with Dwan-mi active, level ten becomes possible.
02:06He'd been thrilled, and still amazed, and his own math suggested, he could only barely survive level ten even so.
02:14Remote ocean, Dwan-mi pushing his defense to supreme master level, and Star Tower together just barely enough.
02:21But the test body under Star Tower had handled level eight far more easily than that math predicted.
02:28No real strain at all, which meant the real advantage was Star Tower itself.
02:34That tracked with everything he already suspected about it.
02:37Star Tower demanded a stricter, master recognition bar than any known supreme treasure in existence.
02:43Stricter even than Shuwu.
02:45Wing, sitting mountain guest had, created the entire earthling race for exactly this purpose.
02:51And it had taken an eternity before someone worthy.
02:55Luo Feng was finally born to claim it.
02:57A treasure with standards that extreme was never going to be ordinary.
03:01He'd always sensed Star Tower was special.
03:04Only now, pushed to his absolute limit, using it purely to shield his soul,
03:09did he grasp exactly how extraordinary it really was in his remote ocean burning around.
03:15All seventeen enemy palaces commit sustaining peak output.
03:19Star Tower anchored at the ocean's center, guarding his soul directly.
03:24The attack had barely troubled him.
03:26Difficulty only crept in afterward.
03:29Once he'd eased off the burn and let Dwan-mi lapse, he'd prepared thoroughly.
03:34Star Tower had delivered a genuinely happy surprise on top of it.
03:38One side celebrated, the other reeled in horror.
03:41Stop wasting time, attack now, the city leader ordered, pointing at the nearest palace.
03:46The allied masters from other races glanced over, unbothered, still composed.
03:52It was the humans who were actually stalling, swarming Luo Feng, hugging him, more than a few in tears.
03:59Attack!
04:00Attack!
04:01Every human master, including those sheltering in the ancestral god altar, unleashed blurred godly power at once.
04:08A figure rose above the remote ocean.
04:11Luo Feng.
04:12Black clad, blade in hand, ancient god eye held aloft in his left palm.
04:17Light spilling out to carve open a portal into the nearest palace treasure.
04:22Mind shock swept through it unopposed.
04:24The soul attack followed right behind.
04:26Watch yourself, dream demon!
04:28Someone warned.
04:29An instant too late, the mind shock hit her hard.
04:32She herself held on, but 90% of her subordinate masters dropped instantly.
04:38Only three left standing.
04:40Alarmed, she whipped her tail and yanked every surviving master into her.
04:45World ring for safety.
04:46Northern Territory Alliance master, watching through his Shikyu Starlight River, went pale.
04:52Careful, everyone.
04:53We failed to kill him, which puts us at a genuine disadvantage now.
04:57Once the humans start soul attacking directly, every single team is exposed.
05:02Supreme masters, store your universe masters the instant they close in.
05:06We don't have a supreme master on our team, came the anxious reply.
05:11Neither do we.
05:12Panic spread fast through the freedom.
05:15Alliance's six teams, only Shihua Island.
05:19Leaders carried a supreme master at all.
05:21Cluster together, fast, Northern Territory Alliance master pushed.
05:25Numbers mean safety.
05:28Group with whoever has a supreme master?
05:30Worst news followed.
05:32The remote ocean's binding power had trapped the palace treasures.
05:36Outright?
05:36None of them could fly at all.
05:38Crawling at barely a hundredth of light speed, with no one realizing the ocean was deliberately
05:44burning itself via Dan Metzdo M-Force exactly that resistance.
05:48Still unsatisfied, Luofeng called out,
05:51Ancestral gods, five color Aurora Lake now.
05:55Done.
05:55Aurora light swept the sky and slammed into.
05:59Shikyu Starlight Lake.
06:00Both genuine domain-type supreme treasures, colliding directly.
06:05Shikyu gave ground, and the two domains settled into roughly equal territory.
06:10Golden country?
06:11Luofeng shook his four wings.
06:13Spreading a dim golden light that reinforced the Aurora Lake's push.
06:18Shrinking Shikyu further until the human side controlled.
06:21A full 80% of the contested space.
06:24Golden country alone couldn't push past that limit.
06:27Good enough, Luofeng said, satisfied.
06:30He could have called on Primal Chaos City.
06:33Leader to deploy the Palm Universe instead, far stronger than his own.
06:37Golden country, but chose to hold it in reserve.
06:40In case the United Forces still had a real trump card left to play.
06:45Uncle Darkness, he said, turning.
06:47Darkness Master grinned.
06:49Finally, I've been waiting.
06:50Let's go collect what's ours.
06:52Luofeng launched outward.
06:54Darkness followed.
06:55Black prison tower in tow.
06:57Leaving every remaining human and allied master safely inside star tower.
07:02Shikyu Starlight Lake only ever covered the United Forces.
07:06Own eight palaces.
07:07Never the other three.
07:08And never any of the Freedom Alliance's six.
07:11The Freedom Alliance suffered worst of all.
07:14Their palaces faced the oceans full.
07:16Duan Mi charged resistance with no Aurora Lake or Golden Country boost of their own.
07:22Crawling nowhere near even a hundredth of light speed.
07:25Scattered billions of kilometers apart across.
07:28Star Tower's hundred billion kilometer base.
07:31Material attack, blast the ocean back.
07:33Break through it now.
07:34Every attack that left a palace simply vanished into the ocean the instant it touched the water.
07:40The entire thing was godly power.
07:42Continuously consuming whatever struck it while still surging forward.
07:46Unbound by any of that, Luofeng and Darkness reached full light speed.
07:51Cut through the dark universe.
07:53And reappeared directly in front of a Freedom Alliance palace.
07:57That had originally stood over ten.
07:59Billion kilometers tall.
08:01Uncle Darkness, bring Black prison tower in.
08:04Time to take this one.
08:05Luofeng fixed his gaze on the palace ahead of them.
08:08Home to more than 70 universe masters.
08:11Even Darkness Master, composed as he always was, couldn't fully contain himself this time.
08:17Who, anywhere in universe ocean, had ever captured more than 70 universe masters in a single move?
08:24Rise!
08:25He held his breath and thrust out his right arm.
08:28The black pyramid shot from his palm.
08:30Growing at an insane rate until it stood a hundred million kilometers tall.
08:35A deep abyss opening at its base.
08:38Aimed squarely at the black.
08:40Disc-shaped palace treasure ahead of them.
08:43Luofeng watched, smiling.
08:44And summoned a second ancient god.
08:47Eye into his palm.
08:48One now carried by his Moshe body, the other by his original one.
08:52Go!
08:53He faced his palm toward the disc.
08:55And the surrounding ocean parted automatically to give the willpower a clean path.
09:01Minor interference wouldn't slow it regardless.
09:03The invisible strike swept through the palace, hitting all 72 universe masters inside at once.
09:1065 dropped unconscious instantly.
09:12Only seven remained awake.
09:14The true elites of that team.
09:16Carrying 11 godly bodies between them.
09:19Willpower strong enough to survive what leveled everyone else.
09:22Willpower impact.
09:23Block it!
09:25By Ur, what do we do?
09:26Panic set in fast among the seven who remained.
09:29The unconscious 65 couldn't help at all.
09:32And seven alone felt hopelessly thin against what was coming.
09:36The nearest allied palace sat at least 10 billion kilometers off in any direction.
09:41No rescue was arriving in anything close to time.
09:44Black prison towers pulling us in.
09:47Block it!
09:47If we get sucked in, we're finished.
09:50The seven spiraled deeper into panic with every passing second.
09:54Their situation had flipped entirely from moments earlier.
09:57With their full numbers intact, they'd had the strength to burn straight through the surrounding
10:02ocean and force their way past.
10:05Five color Aurora Lake and Golden Country, together through sheer combined effort.
10:10With only seven left standing, they couldn't even properly maneuver the palace treasure itself
10:15anymore, let alone resist being dragged steadily toward the tower's pull.
10:19I can't block it.
10:21I can't-
10:22One by one, unwillingly, they were annihilated.
10:25Far off on the Freedom Alliance's island in the golden waves, more than 400 universe
10:30masters sat as godly avatars alongside.
10:33Shihua Island leader, watching the same disaster unfold in real time through their connection to
10:39the battle.
10:40We can't block it.
10:41Only seven of us still standing, and we're caught between five color Aurora Lake and the
10:46ocean itself, squeezed from both sides at once.
10:50With Black Prison Tower pulling now on top of that, there's nothing left to resist with
10:54at all.
10:55The palace is heading straight into it.
10:57Someone save us.
10:58Across a section of the gathered thrones, avatar after avatar sat completely motionless,
11:04unconscious.
11:05Every single one of them already fallen.
11:07Only the seven, still conscious, showed any reaction whatsoever, and it was pure, undiluted
11:14dread.
11:15We're too far away to reach them in time.
11:17There's no way.
11:19Caught between the ocean and the Aurora Lake both, we can't even accelerate properly, let
11:24alone hit light speed or slip into the dark universe to close the distance.
11:28There's genuinely nothing we can do from here.
11:31Every other palace watching felt the same fear tighten around them, even those not directly
11:36threatened yet.
11:37Then, from the doomed seven, we're being swallowed by Black Prison Tower.
11:42All 72 of us, gone.
11:44A stunned hush fell across the island.
11:4772 universe masters.
11:49The number alone was staggering.
11:52The quiet didn't last.
11:53Anxiety crashed back in immediately after.
11:56It was that willpower weapon.
11:58That's what did it.
11:59Without that thing, 70-plus of us combined could have held the ocean off indefinitely,
12:04even trapped.
12:05It erased our number's advantage completely.
12:0890% gone in an instant.
12:10Only seven left standing at all.
12:12What do we do now?
12:14We never should have split into six teams.
12:16If we'd stayed as one force, 400-plus strong, dozens of us could have resisted that willpower
12:21strike.
12:22With Xihua Island leader in the group, too, we wouldn't be sitting this passively.
12:27Who could have predicted?
12:28Luofeng would build an endless godly ocean specifically to trap us like this.
12:33The original logic behind splitting, into six had made, sense at the time.
12:38Six factions handling.
12:39Their piece of the human, confrontation independently, and if they ended up siding with the united
12:45forces.
12:46A hit against any one team would only cost part of the alliance, not all of it.
12:50United as one mass, a single strike.
12:53Like this would have stripped 90% of their entire combat.
12:58Strength in one blow instead.
13:00Back at the site of the capture, Darkness Master finally broke.
13:04Real, unguarded laughter.
13:06As the massive pyramid shrank back down into his waiting palm.
13:10Over 70 universe masters.
13:12Taken in one clean move, he said, standing amid the churning ocean, unable to resist gloating.
13:18I doubt there are many supreme masters, anywhere in universe ocean, who've pulled off something
13:23like this.
13:24He glanced at Luofeng beside him, running through exactly what had made it possible.
13:29First, the ancient god eye's willpower impact.
13:32Stripping the enemy's numerical edge outright.
13:35Second, the ocean and five color aurora lake weaving together, leaving no possible escape route.
13:41Third, and most crucially, Luofeng's own survival against a combined soul strike from over eight.
13:48Hundred universe masters and ten plus supreme masters, which had left the entire united forces
13:54camp with no answer at all.
13:56Forced to struggle helplessly inside his own remote ocean.
13:59We owe this one to you, Luofeng, Darkness Master said.
14:03Luck, Luofeng said, shaking his head.
14:06It took every one of those factors together, miss any single piece.
14:10And this doesn't work.
14:11My remote ocean is genuinely difficult to move.
14:14If the United Forces had actually gotten away this time, an opportunity like this might never
14:20come again.
14:20That difficulty was real.
14:22Against distant enemies, the ocean was nearly useless.
14:25Anyone who slipped a few, light years clear of its influence, would be safe from it entirely.
14:31And anyone caught still inside that radius, without its protection, was doomed regardless.
14:36Exactly why we use this chance fully, Darkness Master said, cold and deliberate.
14:42Draw them into the ocean.
14:43Capture as many as we can in one motion.
14:46Everyone we take grows our own numbers.
14:48Agreed, Luofeng said solemn.
14:50A chance like this doesn't come twice.
14:52We take everyone we possibly can.
14:55Inside Black Prison Tower.
14:57The 72 newly captured.
14:59Masters heard a voice the instant.
15:01They landed in that endless dark space.
15:04Freedom Alliance.
15:05Don't be afraid.
15:07Treat us as allies.
15:08Show real willingness to help.
15:09And no human will harm a single one of you.
15:12We're willing to help the humans.
15:14Willing.
15:15We'll join the human camp.
15:17Desperation made the choice easy.
15:19Most of them had originally intended to side with humanity anyway, before Purple Moon Holy Land's
15:24better offer, pulled them toward the United Forces instead.
15:28But no offer mattered.
15:29More than simply staying alive.
15:31Every one of them surrendered.
15:33Even those with backup bodies who faced no real mortal risk here.
15:38Nobody wanted to lose a war-capable godly body.
15:41Or the treasures they'd spent centuries accumulating.
15:43Because Five Color Aurora Lake and Golden Country had Xichu.
15:48Starlight River fully suppressed.
15:50Neither the United Forces nor the Freedom Alliance could easily track what was happening to the other.
15:56Northern Territory Alliance Master.
15:58Finally crossed the distance himself to contact.
16:02Shihua Island Leader directly.
16:04And got the full picture.
16:04The humans combined the willpower treasure.
16:08Black Prison Tower, the godly ocean, and Five Color Aurora Lake against us.
16:13They've already taken one of our teams.
16:15What?
16:16The news hit Northern Territory Alliance Master hard.
16:19The visible battle.
16:20Godly power bombarding godly power was apparently just theater.
16:25The real fight was happening somewhere else entirely.
16:28He transmitted a warning immediately.
16:30Everyone.
16:31The humans are combining multiple true treasures.
16:34Against us.
16:35The willpower weapon.
16:37Black Prison Tower.
16:39The godly ocean.
16:40More besides.
16:41They've already captured one Freedom Alliance team.
16:43Proceed with extreme caution.
16:45Don't let them get away with this.
16:47He sent it through a move of intention.
16:50Reaching directly for every other Supreme.
16:52Masters mined at once.
16:54Across the whole battlefield.
16:56A method unique to their level alone.
16:58Unavailable to anyone beneath it.
17:01Universe Masters drew their strength entirely from the
17:04primal universe origin itself.
17:06Which meant they remained bound by its laws no matter how powerful they personally grew.
17:11Unable to resist certain fundamental rules regardless of raw strength.
17:16Supreme Masters, by contrast, possessed universes of their own to draw on, relying purely on themselves rather than on any
17:24external source.
17:25Able to resist the dark universe's pull outright.
17:28Exceed light speed while still remaining within the primal universe's own space.
17:33Glide across vast stretches of space and time at will to reach anywhere they chose.
17:38The trade-off came with real weight.
17:40They lost every talent technique the primal universe had once freely granted them.
17:45The ability to divide bodies included among the casualties.
17:48The primal universe's generosity toward them ended the moment they crossed into that level.
17:54From that point forward, they stood entirely on their own resources.
17:58In every respect, with nothing more given to them.
18:01This is bad, Father God of the automaton race added, alarmed.
18:06We can't let the humans keep capturing Freedom Alliance Masters freely.
18:11Captured Masters switch sides fast.
18:13And every defection makes the human camp stronger.
18:16Left unchecked?
18:18They won't need tricks like this ocean anymore.
18:20They simply won't fear any of us.
18:22Move now!
18:23Pull clear of the remote ocean's influence and get to the Freedom Alliance teams.
18:28One at a time.
18:29Every team we reach first is one less the humans capture.
18:33Six teams total.
18:34One under Shihua Island leader with a supreme master already protecting it.
18:38That leaves five teams over 300 universe masters exposed.
18:42Capture all of it.
18:44And the human camp?
18:45Jumps past 500 universe.
18:47Masters outright.
18:49More than half of every universe master in the entire primal universe.
18:53After that, we lose the ability to suppress them.
18:56Permanently.
18:57Move!
18:58Urgency gripped the entire united forces.
19:01Camp.
19:02But understanding.
19:03Exactly what needed to happen.
19:05And actually managing to do it were proving to be two very different problems.
19:10Get in, everyone.
19:12Get in!
19:13Father God of the Automaton Race.
19:15Shock Demon Ancestor.
19:16Dream Demon Ancestor.
19:18Prison Race Devil Ancestor.
19:20The Crystal Race's Holy Master.
19:22Bug Empress.
19:23Northern Territory Alliance Master.
19:25Space Beast Ancestor.
19:26Black Universe creator, Yizhou.
19:28The Virtual Real Devil Master.
19:30And Shihua Island.
19:32Leader all pulled their remaining masters.
19:34Back into world rings and palace treasures at once.
19:37Winning was no longer the goal.
19:39Every leader present just wanted out with whatever strength they could still salvage.
19:44Escaping the remote ocean still.
19:46Left them at a disadvantage overall.
19:48But every group of masters.
19:50The humans managed to capture along the way was a double blow.
19:54A direct loss for the United Forces.
19:57And a direct gain for the human camp.
19:59The math cut both ways at once.
20:01Move!
20:02Luo Feng transmitted through the ocean.
20:05Uncle Darkness now.
20:06They're making their last real push.
20:08Understood.
20:09Darkness Master said.
20:10Tension in his voice.
20:12Besides Star Tower.
20:13Moshe body stood on the water's surface holding an ancient god eye.
20:18And turned toward the tower.
20:20Teacher, they're making a final struggle.
20:22We need to take as many masters as we can.
20:24I'll use Star Tower for it.
20:26We've already got over a hundred masters here.
20:29We don't need it.
20:30The city leader said.
20:31Go capture the enemy instead.
20:33Understood.
20:34Moshe waved a hand.
20:36Shrinking Star Tower into his palm.
20:38And launched at light speed straight into the dark universe.
20:41To begin the hunt.
20:42Elsewhere, a giant silver serpent thrashed through the ocean.
20:46Straining to grow.
20:47Bigger, bigger, bigger.
20:48Dream Demon.
20:50Ancestor's palace treasure couldn't expand at all.
20:53Against the ocean's suppression.
20:55So she abandoned it and reverted to her true body instead.
20:58Her own supreme master.
21:00Strength could outmuscle the ocean's binding force.
21:03Where a mere pinnacle.
21:04Treasure couldn't.
21:06Though even she had limits.
21:08Left unrestrained, something could expand endlessly.
21:10The way Star Tower had.
21:12But confinement mattered.
21:14A cave on an ordinary planet gave plenty of room to.
21:17Bulge outward and smash resistance aside.
21:20A sealed room inside the boat of mausoleum gave none.
21:23Even to a supreme treasure.
21:25Once.
21:26When Luo Feng had found himself surrounded by supreme masters in universe ocean.
21:30The boat of mausoleum had been swallowed whole by the divine.
21:34I clan's eternal true god.
21:36And still managed to bulge.
21:38And break clean through that.
21:40Eternal treasure regardless.
21:42Ordinary supreme treasures simply couldn't manage that.
21:45Cursed ocean.
21:46Came the fury from Northern Territory Alliance master.
21:49Father God.
21:50Shock Demon ancestor.
21:52And the virtual real devil master.
21:54None of them able to properly control.
21:56Their own palace treasures anymore.
21:58Forced instead.
21:59To reveal their true bodies and grow those directly.
22:03Individually their bodies outmatched the ocean's raw strength.
22:07But the ocean.
22:08Sustained by Duan Mi.
22:10Resisted just hard enough to slow them to a crawl.
22:13What should have reached.
22:14Ten billion kilometers instantly now crept upward in.
22:18Stages.
22:18A million.
22:19Ten million.
22:20Fifty million.
22:20A hundred million.
22:22Bug Empress's Empress Palace.
22:24A genuine supreme treasure.
22:26Grew at something closer to a normal pace.
22:28All twelve giant shapes in the ocean.
22:31Empress Palace and the eleven supreme masters.
22:34True bodies.
22:35Whether serpent.
22:36Monstrous giant.
22:37Beast or beauty.
22:38Kept climbing.
22:39A hundred million.
22:41Five hundred million.
22:41A billion kilometers.
22:43The ocean's resistance dragging harder on all of them except Empress Palace.
22:47Which stayed fast.
22:49Already tens of billions of kilometers tall.
22:52Watching all twelve swell.
22:53The city leader guessed their intent.
22:55Growing large enough to reach each other.
22:57Trying to help the Freedom Alliance directly.
23:00He raised a hand and something floated onto the water's surface.
23:04Expanding rapidly.
23:05A mountain.
23:05A lake.
23:06A wooden house.
23:07Confusion rippled through the allied masters watching.
23:10What was this?
23:11Two of his bodies appeared.
23:13One walking to the mountain.
23:14One to the lake.
23:16A green sky spread across the ocean.
23:18Gray land stretched beneath it.
23:20The wooden house blazed at the center of it all.
23:23A full square light year of coverage.
23:26Green sky and gray land closing together.
23:28Like two halves of a single miniature universe built around that one house.
23:33The pressure alone staggered every allied master present.
23:36All eleven supreme masters in Empress Palace slowed sharply at once.
23:41The Palm Universe, combined with five color Aurora Lake, was actively dissolving Luofeng's own golden country.
23:49Their territories having overlapped.
23:51Combined, Palm Universe and the Aurora Lake carried enough force to annihilate.
23:56Shichu Starlight Lake outright as well.
23:58What is that?
23:59How do the humans have another valuable like this?
24:02Something for controlling space and time itself.
24:05Stronger than anything we've seen from them yet.
24:08Father God, prison race devil ancestor?
24:11Shock demon ancestor and the rest strained harder.
24:14Burning their own godly power just to keep growing at all.
24:17Shihua Island leader broadcast to every Freedom Alliance master at once.
24:22Split up!
24:22Every remaining team break into three or four smaller groups, roughly twenty masters each.
24:28Scatter and run separately.
24:30The humans only have Star Tower and Black Prison Tower.
24:33They can't chase everyone.
24:35Splitting up is our best shot at keeping losses low.
24:38Already three billion kilometers tall himself and still growing.
24:42Positioned closer to his own alliance's palaces than anyone else.
24:46He kept repeating it.
24:47Split!
24:48One team was already lost.
24:50Shihua was personally shielding a second.
24:52Four remained and they began fragmenting.
24:55Roughly twenty masters per group.
24:58Sometimes more counting extra bodies.
25:00Twenty combined godly bodies already exceeded top tier level six.
25:04Reaching level seven.
25:06Enough to blast a path through the surrounding ocean and limp forward.
25:10However slowly.
25:11Fewer than that.
25:12And movement through the ocean wouldn't have been possible at all.
25:15Luo Feng and Darkness Master watched four palace treasures scatter in four directions.
25:21Swallow!
25:22Darkness Master ordered.
25:23And Black Prison Tower surged out.
25:26Bulging beginning to consume.
25:28They're spreading out, Luo Feng said frowning.
25:31This gets harder now.
25:32The scattered palaces weren't moving fast.
25:36But every passing moment widened the distance between them regardless.
25:41Ancient god eye and Black Prison Tower struck together, swallowing a green, boat-shaped palace hole.
25:47Its masters powerless to resist at all.
25:50Capture!
25:51Capture!
25:52Capture!
25:53The hunt continued, target after target.
25:57Xihua, now eight billion kilometers tall, simply reached out and closed a hand around one palace treasure.
26:03Come here!
26:05Its masters didn't fight at all.
26:07They cheered instead.
26:08Alliance Master!
26:10He pulled it back without any resistance whatsoever.
26:13No!
26:14Luo Feng said tight.
26:16Xihua just took one.
26:17Being closest to his own alliances, palaces gave him the first move every time.
26:23And Empress Palace was closing in, too.
26:25He stopped second-guessing and simply pushed harder.
26:28Every asset in play at once.
26:30The ocean itself.
26:31Five-color Aurora Lake.
26:33Palm Universe.
26:34Ancient god eye star tower.
26:36Black Prison Tower.
26:37The remote ocean binding the enemy supreme masters while sustaining.
26:41Doami at full burn.
26:43Even with everything running, capturing them all still took real time.
26:47Empress Palace, the largest United Forces object present, reached 200 billion kilometers.
26:53The ocean still wound tightly around it the entire way.
26:57That Luo Feng is a genuine problem, Bug Empress admitted grudgingly.
27:01Without the ocean constraining her, Empress Palace could have grown ten times taller.
27:07Enough to have saved every remaining.
27:09Freedom Alliance Palace outright.
27:11Come to me!
27:12Save us, Empress!
27:13Come in!
27:14Come in!
27:15A long white arm extended from Empress Palace, closing around fleeing palace treasures one after another.
27:22Their masters offering no resistance, making her rescue efforts far more efficient than they should have been.
27:28Both Bug Empress and Shi Hua raced to save whatever they still could.
27:32While Luo Feng, Darkness Master, and Moshe body split into two hunting parties of their own.
27:39Eventually nothing remained.
27:40Inside the remote ocean except the eleven giant, supreme master bodies, and empress.
27:46Palace's towering shape.
27:47Every other palace treasure had been taken.
27:50One way or the other.
27:52Standing together in the endless water.
27:54Moshe body, Luo Feng's original body, and Darkness Master tallied the result.
27:59We gave it everything, Darkness Master said, sighing.
28:03Empress Palace was too large, and the Freedom Alliance masters cooperated with her rescue at every turn.
28:09We only got 208 universe masters, far fewer than I'd hoped.
28:13He sighed again, and then caught Luo Feng's eye, and neither of them could hold it back any longer.
28:20Ha ha ha!
28:21Ha ha ha!
28:22They broke into real unguarded laughter, relief pouring out of both of them at once.
28:27After this battle, nothing left in the primal universe would ever threaten humanity again.
28:33Luo Feng, Darkness Master, and Moshe body cut through the churning ocean at full speed,
28:38hit light speed, and crossed the dark universe to reappear a hundred billion kilometers off,
28:44back among the gathered human team.
28:47Luo Feng.
28:48Darkness.
28:49Excitement rippled through the whole group, human masters especially.
28:52Nobody outside the three of them knew the exact count yet, though the city leader had a working
28:58estimate from his palm universe, tracking how many palace treasures had gone down,
29:03somewhere around 200 by his count.
29:06Milky Way Horde leader, how many did you actually get?
29:09How many?
29:10Tell us!
29:11Even the allied races were leaning in.
29:13A capture on this scale might not have happened in any previous universe era.
29:18The sheer coordination required to take down over a hundred universe masters at once was
29:24almost unheard of.
29:25How many, Luo Feng?
29:26Darkness?
29:27Ice Mountain Master and Remote Lord Master pressed, and even the city leader waited, expectant.
29:34Luo Feng and Darkness Master traded a glance.
29:38208, Luo Feng said.
29:40Long Yan Master let out a yell.
29:42The city leader's eyes lit up.
29:44Wonderful.
29:45Unbelievable.
29:47208, all at once.
29:49I've never heard of anything like it.
29:51A genuine miracle.
29:52In the whole of universe ocean.
29:56Exclamations rippled through the allied ranks.
29:58Even the three ancestral gods, the eight beast gods, and nine remoteness master looked stunned.
30:04Pure celebration all around.
30:06Darkness Master just shook his head.
30:08Could have been more, honestly.
30:09They kept stalling us during the capture.
30:12Cost us real time.
30:14The resistance had genuinely slowed them down.
30:17Every time they tried to swallow a palace treasure, the target would shrink.
30:22Itself.
30:23A normal treasure ran, several million kilometers long, and shrinking it down to the size of a speck of dust
30:30put real relative.
30:31Distance between it and black prison towers pull, even moving at a hundred thousand kilometers a second toward it.
30:38Luo Feng and Darkness had ways around that.
30:40But the stalling still meant, roughly half the Freedom Alliances, members slipped free.
30:46Despite being trapped inside the remote, ocean half was still, more than enough to call a win.
30:52Back inside the ocean, the eleven remaining, supreme masters strained to grow.
30:57Their own bodies large enough to break free.
31:00Fighting the water the whole way.
31:02Luo Feng burned godly power freely to hold them.
31:05A negligible cost, measured against an ocean this size.
31:09Everyone get in, Bug Empress transmitted.
31:12Understood.
31:13Understood.
31:14Shihua Island leader.
31:16Shrank himself down and clung to Empress Palace's outer surface.
31:20Shock Demon Ancestor.
31:21Dream Demon Ancestor.
31:23Father God.
31:24Ejo.
31:24Black Universe Creator and the rest did the same.
31:27Not one of them actually went inside the palace itself.
31:30Nobody dared.
31:31Stepping inside would have put their lives entirely in Bug Empress's hands.
31:37She wasn't carrying many masters of her own yet, so betrayal seemed unlikely for now.
31:43But if she ever did turn on Eleven Supreme, masters trapped inside her,
31:48she'd instantly become the single most powerful being in the original universe.
31:52Nobody was willing to risk that trade.
31:55All Eleven clung to the exterior instead as Bug Empress grew Empress Palace larger.
32:00And larger still, carrying them forward with it.
32:03Luo Feng watched, shaking his head.
32:05A supreme treasure could easily clear several light years in height.
32:10Star Tower itself could reach nine.
32:12With truly endless godly power behind it, Empress Palace could push past ten.
32:17His own remote ocean, at its core, was still a godly body.
32:21And a godly body couldn't bulge without limit the same way.
32:24He let up once Empress Palace passed a trillion kilometers.
32:28Back, he ordered.
32:30And the ocean, itself over a trillion kilometers by then, pulled inward.
32:35Resistance dropped sharply.
32:37Empress Palace surged.
32:39And all eleven supreme masters broke free of the ocean entirely.
32:43A flame-wrapped, human-shaped figure floated clear, exhaling.
32:47Finally out.
32:48That godly ocean of Luo Feng's is a genuine problem, Father God sighed.
32:54Without Empress Palace, we'd have been stuck in there far longer.
32:57On your own, against something that size, all you can do is crawl.
33:01The three ancestral gods couldn't sustain Five Color Aurora Lake indefinitely.
33:05And the city leader couldn't hold Palm Universe.
33:08Running forever, either.
33:10Both cost too much godly power to maintain.
33:13Only Luo Feng had been willing to burn his own power without any real limit.
33:18If he'd been their only obstacle, they might have managed a tenth of light speed, at least.
33:23Moving the remote ocean at all was brutally difficult.
33:26Which meant Luo Feng's only real lever was expanding it to physically block them.
33:31And even that had limits.
33:33He couldn't stretch it to ten light years.
33:35Given ten years, even a hundred.
33:37The United Forces could eventually outlast it and slip free on their own.
33:42Small mercies, shock demon ancestor said quietly.
33:45He genuinely can't move that ocean.
33:48Explains why Star Tower never budged the entire fight.
33:51It was hiding this thing inside it the whole time.
33:54Something that hard to relocate can't be brought anywhere else to fight.
33:58Even carrying it, Star Tower's pinned to one spot.
34:01Nods went around.
34:03True enough, with the ocean inside it?
34:05Star Tower couldn't even pass.
34:07Through a god country portal.
34:08Without shattering it outright.
34:11Avoid Luo Feng, the boat of mausoleum.
34:13Or Star Tower whenever any of them sit still.
34:16Northern Territory Alliance, Master said.
34:19If he moves freely, that's the tell he isn't carrying the ocean with him.
34:23After this battle, Luo Feng sat at the very top of every Supreme Master's list of genuine threats.
34:29Still, his soul is human.
34:31Through and through, Prison Race Devil Master offered.
34:34Once he actually becomes a Supreme Master, he returns to origin.
34:38All four bodies combine into one back to a single human form.
34:42That ocean's scale comes entirely.
34:44From what the original universe, bestowed on him, once his breakthrough lands.
34:50His god country finishes into a true miniature universe.
34:53His bodies merge.
34:55And one combined human body won't need anywhere near this much power to sustain.
34:59Merging alone burns through enormous reserves.
35:02His output drops considerably after that.
35:05That's right.
35:06Once he's down to one body as a real Supreme Master, he won't be nearly this much trouble here.
35:11Right now, Luo Feng ran four separate bodies.
35:15Each hitting top tier level six.
35:17Where an ordinary Supreme Master only ever gets one.
35:20His limitless ocean made him harder to handle than an actual Supreme Master.
35:25But only here, in the original universe.
35:27Out in universe ocean itself, real Supreme Masters was still far more terrifying overall.
35:33After the breakthrough, he loses the bodies and the inherited techniques both.
35:38Ejo said, sighing.
35:40Different story for nine remoteness master.
35:42Though, his original body already is that ocean.
35:45Even after his own breakthrough, it stays his true godly form permanently.
35:49Ejo, Black Universe creator, Northern Territory Alliance master, and Shihua Island leader had no race depending on them.
35:57So none of this truly worried them personally.
36:00Shock Demon Ancestor, Dream Demon Ancestor, and Prison Race Devil Master didn't have that luxury.
36:05Enough about Luo Feng.
36:07Space Beast Ancestor cut in.
36:09Ancient voice flat.
36:10We've already lost this fight.
36:12What now?
36:13That's the real question, Father God said, anxious.
36:16Northern Territory Alliance master shook his head.
36:19What can we do?
36:20They took over 200 masters.
36:22Assuming their leaders aren't suicidal, they won't kill the captives.
36:26They'll work to win them over instead.
36:29Plenty of those Freedom Alliance masters count humans as close friends.
36:32Some even share a race with them.
36:34More defections are coming.
36:36Right now, the human camp sits past 400 universe masters.
36:40We're still above 600.
36:42Even counting what's left of the Freedom Alliance.
36:45But factor in, Luo Feng's four bodies, the city leader, Darkness Master Peng Gong, and the three ancestral gods combined.
36:54And our numerical edge nearly disappears on paper.
36:58Worse, they hold two Mind Shock valuables now.
37:01Enough to sweep through two of our teams at once.
37:03And they'll obviously target whichever two hold the most members.
37:07Split into too many small groups.
37:08And we just hand them easy isolated kills one at a time.
37:12Our numbers advantage is neutralized either way.
37:15And they've got a space-time treasure now too, someone added.
37:19Stronger than a standard domain supreme treasure by the look of it.
37:22There's no path to a real win left.
37:25Just a stalemate.
37:26Lose-lose for everyone.
37:28Dream demon ancestor, shock demon ancestor, father god of the automaton race, the empress of the bug clan, the prison
37:36clan's demon ancestor, and the crystal races.
37:39Holy Master had already sensed how this would go.
37:42But hearing Northern Territory Alliance Master lay it out plainly only deepened the frustration.
37:48Bad blood with the humans already existed before this, after a crossfire this intense.
37:53How could the humans not walk away holding a grudge?
37:57And once they grew stronger, wouldn't that grudge become justification enough for revenge?
38:02The math was unforgiving regardless.
38:04Their numerical edge meant nothing against two willpower impact treasures.
38:08Fighting this out fully meant a genuine war of attrition.
38:11Life and death indefinitely and in the Freedom Alliance.
38:14The Northern Territory Alliance and the Space Beast Alliance had no appetite for that kind of commitment.
38:21Without them, the remaining races alone wouldn't be fighting a war of attrition at all.
38:26They'd simply be crushed.
38:27We've already lost this, Bug Empress said, voice still carrying its usual charm despite the words.
38:34The human race's rise can't be stopped now.
38:36When they're stronger later, this enmity we've built today becomes exactly the excuse they need to come for us.
38:43Yes, yes, that's right.
38:45Nods went around the group.
38:47Which is why we help each other, Bug Empress continued.
38:50A long-standing, loosely held alliance, built for exactly one.
38:55Purpose.
38:56Dealing with whatever.
38:57Threat the humans eventually become.
39:00Nothing else asked of anyone.
39:02Just mutual aid, when that threat finally becomes unbearable, so our races survive it.
39:07Thoughts?
39:08Father God, the prison clan's devil ancestor, and the rest nodded their approval.
39:14Northern Territory Alliance Master.
39:16Ejo, the virtual real devil god, and the other lone travelers went along easily enough.
39:21They've retreated.
39:23The United Forces Alliance is gone.
39:25Watching from above the endless remote ocean, the human masters saw Empress Pallas vanish in a hasty teleport.
39:31Space itself rippling from the speed of it.
39:35Celebration broke out immediately.
39:37They'd entered this war as the weaker side and turned the entire outcome.
39:41Around through the strength of one ocean.
39:44A great procession of masters.
39:46The ancestral god school among them.
39:48Moved toward the primal secret region's core ground, palace clusters, and all.
39:53Every guard and servant boarded their own god country transportation, and hurried home as well.
39:59A lavish victory banquet followed.
40:01Human masters were the most euphoric of all.
40:04But the allied races celebrated too.
40:06Humanity's good fortune meant better days ahead for its vassal races as well.
40:11Once the banquet wound down and the allied masters departed, the human masters alone settled into smaller groups.
40:18Wine and fine cuisine from across the universe spread before them.
40:22A definitive victory this time, the city leader said, tearing up but his voice as steady as ever.
40:27Our race is foothold in the primal.
40:30Universe is secure now.
40:32Nothing the united forces camp can rally.
40:35No matter who they bring in will be enough to shake it loose.
40:39Real prosperity is within reach.
40:40We've lived through Teacher Origin's era, then Huge Axe's era.
40:44Now we finally enter an era of genuine strength.
40:47He sighed.
40:48Teacher Origin lifted us from humble beginnings into a pinnacle race.
40:52When he was eternally suppressed, we were fortunate enough to have someone like Huge Axe holding our position steady in
40:59his absence.
41:00Silence settled over the group.
41:02Everyone lost in memory.
41:04Huge Axe's death cost us more than we ever let ourselves say.
41:07The city leader went on, quieter now.
41:09We were too consumed with our race's own survival back then to properly look into it.
41:15And the circumstances were strange enough that they deserved real scrutiny.
41:19The map that led him into the land of darkness, deep in the tilted peak region, was fake.
41:25So who built it and why?
41:27Huge Axe knew exactly how dangerous that place was.
41:30How does someone with that awareness fall into it regardless?
41:33And given his actual power, how does anyone annihilate him that suddenly, that completely?
41:38The land of darkness sits at the very core of the tilted peak sector, he added.
41:43Grave.
41:44We all know how dangerous it is.
41:46None of us has ever been confident enough to go digging there ourselves.
41:50True.
41:51We can't afford to lose someone like that again.
41:54Everyone nodded, all too aware of what Huge Axe's loss had actually cost them.
41:59A wound they couldn't survive twice.
42:01This time, though, we won decisively, the city leader said, brightening.
42:06And Luofeng carried the largest share of that.
42:09A toast.
42:10To Luofeng.
42:11We owe him this victory, truly.
42:13To Luofeng.
42:14Every glass rose.
42:16They'd all witnessed it themselves.
42:18Luofeng single-handedly, absorbing a combined soul attack from the
42:22entire United Forces Alliance through his remote ocean, genuinely terrifying.
42:27And he'd walked out of it alive,
42:29having taken the whole weight of it onto himself.
42:32Gratitude and awe filled the room in equal measure.
42:36Luofeng raised his own glass quickly.
42:38Honestly, I'm the one who caused this whole disaster to begin with.
42:42By taking that ancient civilization's transmission in the first place.
42:46Call it my mistake.
42:47How is that a mistake?
42:49Someone called back.
42:50We're this powerful now because of it.
42:53Another round?
42:54Cheers!
42:55Luofeng had no choice but to answer every toast that came his way.
42:59The city leader let the celebration run its course.
43:02Then smiled and turned the conversation practical.
43:05Now, the 208 we captured.
43:07First, recruit them properly.
43:09They strengthen us.
43:11Second, stay cautious against betrayal.
43:13Third, how do we actually prevent that betrayal?
43:16And win genuine loyalty instead of grudging compliance.
43:21Get them wanting to belong here.
43:23Not just tolerating it.
43:24Thoughts, everyone.
43:26Suggestions came from around the group and a simple workable plan took shape.
43:31First, given how unstable the primal universe still was,
43:35keep the bulk of these masters together, rather than scattered.
43:39Send nearly all of them into the vast original.
43:41Universe as a fixed arrangement, since dispersing them widely risked losing them entirely to opportunistic
43:48defection.
43:49Second, don't provoke resentment.
43:51Every ten eras grant each master a full, era of complete freedom to roam the primal.
43:56Universe and universe ocean exactly as they pleased.
44:00Great beings spent most of their existence cultivating.
44:03Normally, only a tenth of their time was truly their own.
44:06So this was a real meaningful gift.
44:08First, staggering the rotation, also guaranteed at least eighty.
44:12Percent of them stayed inside the original universe, at any given moment.
44:17Third, address their fear for their home races directly.
44:20Station.
44:21A handful of universe knights permanently within each captured master's own race.
44:26Purely for security, handling routine threats on their own,
44:30and calling in a human response team for anything genuinely severe.
44:34Fourth, release the ancient civilization's breakthrough knowledge gradually.
44:39The longer a master stayed loyal, the more they'd receive, cultivating real incentive to remain rather than drift.
44:47Fifth, while these masters roamed universe ocean, reinforce visible support behind them,
44:53letting them see firsthand exactly how strong humanity's backing actually was.
44:57The captured masters, their fates entirely in human hands, had little room to object and largely welcomed the arrangement.
45:05But when asked to reach out to close, friends and clanmates still, inside the Freedom Alliance.
45:11They hesitated, excuses piling up fast.
45:14The humans weren't bothered in the slightest.
45:16Everything was unfolding exactly as expected.
45:19Setting the ancestral god school's contingent aside, the rest of the human camp's universe masters moved,
45:26quickly to formalize permanent membership in the Hong Alliance, another solid brick in the foundation of the race's future.
45:35Far off in the East Emperor Holy Land's own universe,
45:38East Emperor ancestor received the news of the human victory with open displeasure.
45:43So he holds the Duandong River inheritance and still has resources to spare, just not the one I actually wanted.
45:50His original plan had banked on a crushing human defeat, a moment of desperation he could step into personally.
45:57Negotiating with Luo Feng from a position of leverage, trading rescue for a slice of the inheritance,
46:02that plan had just gotten considerably harder.
46:05In the purple moon.
46:07Holy Land's universe, a faint purple-robed figure spoke.
46:11The United Forces lost?
46:13Even with the Freedom Alliance's help?
46:15Yes, ancestor, Juehua True God replied deferential.
46:19Purple moon ancestor's own achievement mattered here, since
46:23East Emperor ancestor had first transcended a reincarnation era.
46:27Countless generations of eras had passed, each producing its share of universe supreme masters.
46:33Yet nobody had matched that feat of true transcendence again, until purple moon ancestor.
46:38They lost and disappointed you, ancestor, Juehua said.
46:43Are we still obligated to hand over the second?
46:46Half of the inheritance we promised them?
46:48They're hardly in a position to demand anything now.
46:51We could simply withhold it.
46:53There's nothing they could do about it.
46:55He clearly wasn't eager to follow through.
46:58We give it to them regardless, purple moon ancestor said.
47:01A promise made is a promise kept.
47:03Purple moon doesn't stoop to breaking its word, even before lesser races.
47:07Ancestor is far too generous, Juehua said quickly.
47:11These primal universe races are fortunate indeed.
47:14And not only the Freedom Alliance, purple moon ancestor continued.
47:19The bug clan, the demons, the automaton race.
47:22Every race in the United Forces camp receives it too.
47:26The full ancient civilization experience.
47:28Universe master to universe supreme master for all of them.
47:32Juehua startled.
47:32Giving it to the Freedom Alliance made sense.
47:36That had been promised.
47:37But there'd never been any promise to the United Forces camp itself.
47:41Ancestor, he ventured.
47:44That human carrying the Duandong River inheritance was already rising fast.
47:48Purple moon ancestor said.
47:50Without real help.
47:51Where else does the United Forces camp find the strength to keep resisting him at all?
47:56I still need their cooperation to keep the humans contained long term.
48:00And this particular piece of inheritance isn't worth much regardless.
48:04At best, it breeds a handful of extra true gods, this reincarnation era.
48:10Actual transcendence of the era itself?
48:12Still essentially hopeless for any of them.
48:14Jekka nodded along.
48:16The math backed it up.
48:17Without purple moon ancestors' intervention.
48:20This reincarnation era would typically produce only 20 to 30 universe supreme masters.
48:26With his help, perhaps closer to 100.
48:29And across the countless tens of thousands of reincarnation eras in recorded history.
48:33Each one producing its own generation of supreme masters.
48:37The total number was staggering.
48:39Yet only two.
48:40In all that history.
48:42Had ever actually transcended their era.
48:44As long as we withhold the knowledge of true transcendence itself.
48:48There's little real risk here, purple moon ancestors said.
48:52Just keep close watch on Luo Feng.
48:54Every move he makes.
48:56Understood, Juehua replied.
48:58Deference complete.
48:59Not long after, the second half of the promised inheritance reached the
49:03Freedom Alliance exactly as agreed.
49:06Lightwalker Master personally traveled to the Bug Clan.
49:09The demons, the automaton race, the prison clan, and the rest of the United Forces member races.
49:16Delivering the complete inheritance information to each in turn.
49:20Pleasant surprise met him everywhere.
49:22He went, though not without a lingering, undercurrent of worry beneath it.
49:26Dr.
49:27Dr.
49:27You
