Swift Escape

While Luo Feng was in the Virtual Universe, on the Primal Star where he was located, within the ancient forest that had existed for billions of years beneath the Vortex Passage leading to the outside, three terrifyingly powerful figures were gathered. These three powerhouses, each with a distinct appearance, were currently assembled together. “According to the alliance’s orders, we rushed here at top speed. It seems... we three are the first to arrive.” “Indeed.” “Once those two Starry Sky Behemoths realize that the black divine sword is a part of the Jianhe Luo, they’ll surely be startled and immediately rush towards this Vortex Passage, fleeing directly to the outside. Once they escape to the outside, they can teleport, use God Kingdom teleportation, and so on; no one will be able to catch them. We must guard this place well!” “Are we just going to wait here indefinitely?” a deep voice rumbled. “Soon, a group of Universe Overlords will arrive, and even the Overlord of Demon Subjugation will come. For just one divine sword of the Jianhe Luo... how many contribution points can we get? In my opinion—Venerable Wangjia, you guard this place for now. Venerable Beifeng and I will take the initiative to attack. With our capabilities, Venerable Beifeng and I have a complete chance of killing those two Starry Sky Behemoths.” “This...” “What are you hesitating for? Other Universe Overlords will be here soon. Venerable Beifeng, do you agree?” the deep voice pressed. “I agree,” a soft voice replied. “Alright, I agree too. But if we obtain the divine sword, the contribution points must be distributed according to the divine sword we acquired through our combined efforts.” “Naturally!” The three Universe Overlords looked at each other and smiled. Whoosh! Whoosh! Two figures simultaneously shot into the sky. One was about thirty meters tall, with three sharp horns curving forward, an ugly countenance, and eyes as sharp as an eagle’s. Its arms, thick and powerful as if carved from steel, clutched an ancient spear whose tip bore three bloodstains. The other was about ten meters tall, clad entirely in a black battle robe, with even its face obscured by a black mask. “Venerable Beifeng, later, with your soul attack... it would be best if you could directly kill those two Starry Sky Behemoths. If not, you can at least impair their ability to resist, and then I will engage them in close combat!” the three-horned Venerable, holding the ancient spear, said in a low voice. “With the power of my Spear of Bloodshed, and if I then burn my divine body to unleash my ultimate technique... even if they are wearing ordinary supreme treasure armor, under my terrifying attack, which rivals a Universe Master, it will completely exceed the limits of their supreme treasure armor... it might only be weakened to one-thousandth, or even just one-hundredth of its power.” “The Spear of Bloodshed is a high-grade supreme treasure, unmatched in power,” Venerable Beifeng, clad in black robes, also chuckled. “Success is assured in one fell swoop.” Palace Master Qixue was a Universe Overlord of immense renown within the Northern Territory Alliance. He possessed three supreme treasures, and his close-combat weapon was a high-grade supreme treasure! Coupled with his close-combat ultimate techniques... he could even contend with a Universe Master for a short while. Indeed, once he attacked with full power, it would exceed the endurance limit of ordinary supreme treasure armor. Within the normal endurance range—a third-form ordinary supreme treasure armor could generally weaken physical attacks to one ten-thousandth! But once this limit was exceeded, the supreme treasure armor’s weakening ability would sharply decline, perhaps only reducing it to one-thousandth, one-hundredth, one-tenth... or even shattering with a ‘bang’! This was precisely why ordinary supreme treasures were completely disdained by Universe Masters. “Even if their divine bodies are larger, exceeding the limit of their supreme treasure battle armor means my Spear of Bloodshed will just need to strike a few more times,” Palace Master Qixue transmitted with a smile while flying at high speed. “Venerable Beifeng, at that time, we’ll rely on your soul attack. Don’t let them escape. I hear the Golden Horn Behemoth among them possesses a wing-type supreme treasure.” “Leave it to me.” Venerable Beifeng and Palace Master Qixue, side by side, transformed into two streaks of light in mid-air, rapidly flying towards Luo Feng’s location. It should be noted—Luo Feng was the first to arrive at the birthplace of the black sword body. Thus, the Northern Territory Alliance could easily deduce that Luo Feng’s temporary dwelling must be not far from the black sword body. Therefore, Venerable Beifeng and Palace Master Qixue had a clear destination. In the Virtual Universe. Luo Feng looked in surprise at the bald Universe Venerable in the distance: “Is that him? One of the two Hong Alliance Universe Venerables who besieged me while I was contending for treasure?” At the same time, Luo Feng noticed that the area around the bald Universe Venerable was bustling, with a large group of Universe Venerables gathered, seemingly discussing something excitedly. “Jianhe Luo!” “The divine sword of the Jianhe Luo! It’s rumored that the compass of the Jianhe Luo was obtained by a Universe Master from the Thorn Ring Alliance! That Universe Master... must be extremely eager to acquire the other divine swords and would be willing to pay an exorbitant price for this one.” “It appears to be an ordinary supreme treasure, but its actual value is at least comparable to a high-grade supreme treasure.” “Yes, and the ‘Jianhe Luo’ only achieves its perfect form when all divine swords are gathered. Missing even one means it’s not perfect. As long as we hide this divine sword within our Hong Alliance, the Thorn Ring Alliance will surely have to humble themselves and find a way to exchange for it.” “Unfortunately, it was taken by two Starry Sky Behemoths.” Luo Feng heard the discussions clearly. “The divine sword of the Jianhe Luo?” Luo Feng was startled. “Taken by two Starry Sky Behemoths?” “Too bad I arrived late. If I had been lucky, this divine sword of the Jianhe Luo would have been mine,” the bald Universe Venerable shook his head. Before him, an image was still suspended—the image of the black sword body. Luo Feng, watching from a distance, felt a monstrous wave surge in his heart. Heavens. The black divine sword he had obtained, yes, that very black divine sword, was actually one of the divine swords of the Jianhe Luo! “Jianhe Luo?” Luo Feng murmured softly, and information quickly surfaced in his mind. It was recorded in the data Venerable Niuzhou had given him: in the more than one hundred years since the Primal Stars opened, there had been twelve large-scale bloody battles across the 10,081 Primal Stars, and the emergence of the Sword Tomb was one of them. Regarding the Jianhe Luo, there were only simple descriptions, but they were enough for Luo Feng to understand its formidable power. It was a ‘top-tier domain-type supreme treasure,’ and in terms of attack, it was comparable to a peak offensive supreme treasure! In value, it was no less than the Thousand Treasures River. Perhaps even slightly superior. Of course, this was on the premise that all divine swords were integrated. Voices came from afar— “Quick, quick, tell us, on which Primal Star are you, and where did that divine sword emerge?” “Yes, let’s hurry over.” “Let’s team up and kill those two Starry Sky Behemoths to seize the divine sword. Then, we won’t have to worry about the Thorn Ring Alliance not paying a high price. If we offer it to the Hong Alliance, they will certainly be willing to give us extremely high contribution points.” Instantly, a commotion erupted. “Escape!” “I must flee immediately.” Luo Feng understood instantly. “Daohe!” Venerable Niuzhou rushed over. “I have something to attend to, Venerable Niuzhou. Let’s talk next time.” Luo Feng immediately vanished into thin air, leaving Venerable Niuzhou with a puzzled expression. On the Primal Star where Luo Feng was located. In that low mountain forest. “Quick, quick, quick.” Youhai Luo Feng and the Golden Horn Behemoth both quickly stood up. “Many powerhouses from the Hong Alliance will gather soon; I must leave quickly. Moreover, when I obtained the treasure earlier, all three factions—the Prison Clan, the Hong Alliance, and the Northern Territory Alliance—saw the black sword body. The Hong Alliance powerhouses are only just beginning to converge, so they might not have time to stop me. However, the Northern Territory Alliance and the Prison Clan are very likely to arrive.” Youhai Luo Feng quickly shrank to just two meters tall and sat cross-legged on the Golden Horn Behemoth’s back. This was an escape for his life. The Golden Horn Behemoth’s escape speed was extremely fast, and even if sudden danger arose, the Golden Horn Behemoth was the most capable of resisting it. “Whoosh!” The Golden Horn Behemoth transformed to about ten meters long, its wings spreading dozens of meters wide, and immediately burned its divine power, swiftly soaring into the sky... Under the powerful burning of divine power and the acceleration of the supreme treasure Wings of Wu. Whoosh! It swiftly transformed into a streak of golden light, flying through the air. At this moment, the two Universe Overlords from the Northern Territory Alliance, Palace Master Qixue and Venerable Beifeng, were flying side by side through the air. The main reason was the immense size of this Primal Star... from the Vortex Passage exit to Luo Feng’s forest, even at light speed, it would take nearly half an hour. This was why Palace Master Qixue and Venerable Beifeng had not yet arrived. In fact, some super-entities from the Northern Territory Alliance were rushing towards the Primal Star where Luo Feng was located! Including the Overlord of Demon Subjugation... But even the Overlord of Demon Subjugation would have to slowly fly to the ‘Vortex Passage’ leading to Luo Feng’s Primal Star first. It should be known that each Primal Star has a diameter of 100 billion kilometers. Even at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, one can only fly about 1 billion kilometers in an hour. If the distance to the Vortex Passage is a bit further, it would take a long time to arrive. The powerhouses dispatched by the Northern Territory Alliance were already among the fastest entities capable of arriving. “Look, a golden light!” “It’s the Golden Horn Behemoth.” Palace Master Qixue and Venerable Beifeng spotted it at a glance. The two of them were heading towards Luo Feng from the Vortex Passage. Luo Feng was heading towards the Vortex Passage! Naturally, they would see each other! “Hmm?” Both the Youhai clone and the Golden Horn Behemoth saw the two streaks of light in the distance. “Perhaps they are other foreign powerhouses. It’s unlikely they’re pursuing me; how could they be so fast? If things become impossible, I can just escape to another Primal Star.” Whoosh! The Golden Horn Behemoth continued flying, merely making a slight turn to put some distance between itself and the two streaks of light. Whoosh! Whoosh! But those two powerful auras sharply turned and rapidly approached. “Not good.” “They’re coming for me. That three-horned one... is Palace Master Qixue, Palace Master Qixue of the Northern Territory Alliance, and the one beside him is Venerable Beifeng!” The ever-vigilant Luo Feng instantly recognized the two and confirmed they were approaching him. Disregarding everything else, he immediately stored his Youhai clone into his World Ring. Palace Master Qixue and Venerable Beifeng... both were Universe Overlord-level entities. And they weren’t just ordinary Universe Overlords! There were also differences among Universe Overlords. Generally, a ‘Universe Venerable’ who had reached a peak in law comprehension and secret technique creation, with combat power comparable to the most ordinary Universe Master, was called a Universe Overlord. However—a Universe Overlord possessing an ordinary supreme treasure naturally had different attack power than one possessing a high-grade supreme treasure! There was also a difference between a human Universe Overlord and a Universe Overlord of a heaven-defying special life form with a life gene level reaching 8000 times. This Palace Master Qixue, for instance, possessed a high-grade supreme treasure! Venerable Beifeng was a Universe Overlord particularly skilled in soul attack and erosion! “Starry Sky Behemoth, you cannot escape.” “Hand over the divine sword!” A deep, resonant voice and a soft, mind-invading voice simultaneously transmitted.
