Wings Like a Canopy

“Boom~~” The Golden Flame Rock Giant swung its Divine Hammer with all its might. The hammer thundered down towards the incoming Golden Horned Beast, its momentum utterly unhindered by the Golden Thread Aurora Domain. This single strike was so potent that planets, stars, neutron stars—anything it touched would be instantly pulverized and annihilated. Even a black hole would collapse under its force! The Golden Flame Rock Giant roared, unleashing its most powerful strike. Although it didn't shatter space within the Primal Star environment, this wasn't due to a lack of power, but rather the unique nature of the Primal Star itself. “CRASH!!!” The hammer collided directly with the massive, golden blade-light from the wings. The Golden Flame Rock Giant, gripping the Divine Hammer with both hands, was sent flying backward. As it hurtled through the air, its colossal rock feet stomped against the void multiple times, forcing itself to a halt mid-flight. “Accursed Starry Sky Behemoth!” the Golden Flame Rock Giant roared. “Prison Race scum!” The Golden Horned Beast transformed into a streak of light, already having turned back and descended once more. Its enormous wing-blade light cleaved directly towards its foe, as if capable of shattering any obstacle. “CRASH!” “CRASH!” “CRASH!” “CRASH!” “CRASH!” “CRASH!” Collision after collision! The Golden Flame Rock Giant's inherent agility was no match for the Golden Horned Beast, especially with its Shi Wu Wings. Furthermore, hampered by the immense resistance within the ‘Golden Thread Aurora Domain,’ it was completely suppressed. The Golden Horned Beast was simply too massive; its Shi Wu Wings spanned tens of thousands of kilometers. With a single sweep of its wing... the Golden Flame Rock Giant had nowhere to dodge! ... The Youhai Clone stood before the Black Sword Body like a Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, gazing at the two Black-Winged Prison Race Venerables in the distance. Simultaneously, it controlled the colossal Beast God to pursue the two Prison Race Venerables. “Rumble~~~” The Beast God roared as it sprinted through the air, moving with phantom-like speed. If the two Black-Winged Venerables fled too far, the Beast God wouldn't pursue. The Beast God merely operated within a certain radius around the Black Sword Body. The moment the two Prison Race Venerables encroached upon this zone, they would be immediately attacked! One must remember that the Beast God was a Supreme Treasure-grade Psychic Weapon; its flight speed was incredibly swift. Coupled with the Golden Thread Aurora Domain... within this range, it could effortlessly smash into and send flying the two Black-Winged Prison Race powerhouses in an instant. “CRASH!” One Black-Winged powerhouse was directly sent flying. Meanwhile, another Black-Winged powerhouse, rushing into the ‘zone’ from the opposite direction, sped towards the slowly rising Black Sword Body. “Roar~~” The Beast God roared, sprinting away in the opposite direction, leaving a blur in its wake. It then slammed into the Black-Winged powerhouse, directly sending that Black-Winged Universe Venerable flying. “Chi'er, what do we do? We can't break through!” “That Psychic Weapon is too fast! And they even have a domain-type treasure!” “We've already lost 3% of our divine body! That accursed Golden Horned Beast probably hasn't even expended a ten-thousandth of its divine body. We can't keep this up.” The two Twelve Black-Winged powerhouses hovered in the distance, simultaneously transmitting their thoughts to the Golden Flame Rock Giant. The Golden Flame Rock Giant could only roar in fury. He was helpless. Although his divine body was vast, he had expended very little of it. Yet, he knew... the Golden Horned Beast before him had surely expended even less! He feared that even if his entire divine body were to burn away, the Golden Horned Beast wouldn't have lost even one percent of its own. “Hahaha, other alien powerhouses are arriving,” the Golden Flame Rock Giant suddenly transmitted. “Just hold on a little longer. When the other alien powerhouses arrive, these two Starry Sky Behemoths will surely be thrown into disarray, and then we'll have our chance.” The two Twelve Black-Winged powerhouses glanced around, their faces immediately lighting up with joy. Indeed— From two other directions, separate teams were flying in. ... “Hmm? That's a Northern Territory Alliance squad, with three Universe Venerables. And that's... a Hong Alliance squad, with two Universe Venerables.” Youhai Luo Feng glanced around, quickly making his assessment. “However, in my current form, the Hong Alliance squad will only see me as part of the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance.” Disregarding everything else, Luo Feng continued to suppress the three Prison Race Universe Venerables while observing the slowly rising Black Sword Body. Gradually... The Black Sword Body's tip seemed almost ready to fully emerge. “It's almost ready, almost fully revealed,” Luo Feng thought, a mix of anxiety and anticipation. “Faster, faster, faster! It must fully emerge before the other teams arrive!” ... The two teams rapidly approached: one Hong Alliance squad and one Northern Territory Alliance squad. Although the Hong Alliance squad consisted of Hong Alliance members, they were not human. Seeing the scene from afar, they quickly made their own judgment. “Hahaha, it's a treasure, definitely a Supreme Treasure!” “The treasure is still emerging, and they haven't claimed it yet. Hurry!” “While the Starry Sky Behemoth squad and the Prison Race squad are locked in a stalemate, let's seize the treasure!” ... The three Universe Venerables of the Northern Territory Alliance squad were likewise overjoyed at the sight. They all knew this was a rare opportunity and desperately flew towards it. It's worth noting that the Northern Territory Alliance was arguably the most diverse alliance in the cosmos, formed by countless races, which resulted in an exceptionally high number of Universe Venerables. For instance, in the Glory World Open Plaza of the Ancestral God Sect, the Hong Alliance usually had only a thousand or so inheritors present, while the Northern Territory Alliance boasted hundreds of thousands. The disparity in numbers was evident. Therefore... on the Primal Star, Northern Territory Alliance Universe Venerable teams were the most common. Also, due to their larger number of Universe Venerables, and the resulting resource distribution, powerhouses of comparable strength generally possessed far fewer treasures compared to the six peak races, such as humanity. “Eh?” One of the three Northern Territory Alliance Universe Venerables, a lifeform about ten meters tall with a body seemingly forged from purple metal, flew rapidly towards the Black Sword Body, observing it closely. A look of doubt appeared in its eyes. “That seems to be—no, that can't be right.” ... “Faster! Faster! Faster!” Luo Feng was extremely anxious. Although the Black Sword Body was almost fully suspended to its tip, its ascent speed was clearly far slower than the rapid flight of a super-powerhouse. The two Universe Venerable squads from the Hong Alliance and Northern Territory Alliance were still rapidly closing in, even within the Golden Thread Aurora Domain. “Hahaha... too late!” The Golden Flame Rock Giant of the Prison Race burst into laughter. “Starry Sky Behemoth, you won't get this Supreme Treasure!” “It won't be yours either!” The Golden Horned Beast let out a furious roar that shook the heavens. BOOM! The Golden Horned Beast suddenly flapped its wings, turning back directly and returning to the vicinity of the Black Sword Body. “Whoosh!” The Youhai Luo Feng also took a step back, planting its foot beside the Black Sword Body. “Come on!” Both the Youhai Clone and the Golden Horned Beast were now positioned around the Black Sword Body, clearly intending to defend it to the death! If they could just hold on for a little longer, this Supreme Treasure would be theirs. “Forget about you Universe Venerables,” Youhai Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Even against Universe Overlords, the Golden Horned Beast, with its Jie Jia, fears nothing. Although my Youhai Clone's divine body strength is inferior, and the Golden Tremor Roar King Armor can only activate its second form, reducing physical attacks to one-thousandth of their power—it's worse than Jie Jia... but the Youhai Clone's immense size means it can definitely withstand attacks for a while.” The Youhai Clone and the Golden Horned Beast stood like two colossal mountain ranges. One stood firm beside the Black Sword Body, the other hovered above it, blocking any alien race daring to approach. “Kill!” “Kill!” “Seize the Supreme Treasure!” “Hurry, five other teams are also arriving. We must act quickly.” Both the Hong Alliance and Northern Territory Alliance teams noticed five more teams appearing in the distant horizon, though they estimated it would take a moment for those teams to arrive. Three teams! The Hong Alliance, Northern Territory Alliance, and Prison Race! A total of eight High-level Universe Venerables simultaneously launched an assault on the Starry Sky Behemoth in the center! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The three teams simultaneously transformed into streaks of light and charged. “Ha!” The Golden Horned Beast spread its wings, directly blocking the front. Whoosh whoosh~~~ Its wings suddenly expanded. The golden wings (the Shi Wu Wings, being a Supreme Treasure, could easily change color) furiously stretched and expanded in all directions, almost instantly becoming colossal wings tens of thousands of kilometers wide. When these massive wings closed in... it was like a mother hen protecting its chicks. The enormous golden wings completely enveloped the area below. To seize the Black Sword Body, they would first have to blast through these golden wings. “Attack!” “Hahaha, he actually thinks he can withstand this!” “Kill.” The eight Universe Venerables launched their attacks simultaneously. In particular, an alien Venerable from the Hong Alliance, wielding a blade-wheel, which was itself a common Supreme Treasure, repeatedly slammed into the golden wings with thunderous force. ... The Golden Horned Beast's thick, powerful hooves stood like celestial pillars in the swamp, whose depth couldn't even submerge its claws. Its wings were held high, completely protecting everything beneath. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The combined might of eight High-level Universe Venerables was so immense, it was like a Universe Overlord wielding a Supreme Treasure, striking repeatedly! “Is that all your power?” The Golden Horned Beast stood as steady as a mountain. It allowed the repeated bombardments to land, and after being doubly weakened by the Shi Wu Wings and Jie Jia... with the Golden Horned Beast's colossal divine body, it could easily withstand them. ... “These wings are a Supreme Treasure!” “They must be a Supreme Treasure!” “Very few Heavy Treasures can expand to such a size, and even if they could, under the combined assault of eight High-level Universe Venerables, they would have to shrink their volume or risk disintegration... These wings are definitely a Supreme Treasure.” The eight High-level Universe Venerables from the Northern Territory Alliance, Hong Alliance, and Prison Race teams immediately reached this conclusion. Ordinary Heavy Treasures could be destroyed by some Universe Overlords. Even top-tier Heavy Treasures... would fare better if they shrunk their volume to resist. If they deliberately expanded, weakening their local resilience, they would collapse. ... As the eight High-level Universe Venerables outside launched their combined assault, yet utterly failed to harm the Golden Horned Beast, both the Golden Horned Beast and the Youhai Clone's gazes were fixed on the Black Sword Body. The tip of the Black Sword Body finally emerged from the swamp, then directly floated into the air, its aura completely withdrawn, making it appear like an ordinary treasure. “The treasure is ours,” the Golden Horned Beast growled softly. Immediately, a wisp of divine power flew directly towards the Black Sword Body, intending to imprint its life mark upon it.
