Chapter 1045

Lord of Demon Subjugation

On the Original Star, a towering figure slowly descended from beside the spatial vortex suspended in mid-air, landing on the desolate wilderness. He stood a thousand kilometers tall, his body covered in a mottled black and red scaled armor. His facial skin was green, his eyebrows also green, and he bore two dark red, curved long horns. His single eye seemed to instantly perceive every movement across the entire Original Star, causing the surrounding space to tremble. Boom~~~~ The entire Original Star, across all its regions—wilderness, forests, deserts, mountains, swamps, oceans—was instantly subjected to an irresistible binding force! The powerful beings from various cosmic races on the Original Star were utterly shocked. “This is bad, a Universe Master has descended.” “It’s a Universe Master!” “A Universe Master has actually descended upon this Original Star.” Most of the Universe Venerables from various races did not know why a Universe Master had arrived, so they immediately endured, not daring to show the slightest resistance. Although merely controlling a region of space-time couldn't kill a Universe Overlord, it could make it incredibly difficult for Universe Overlords to move, let alone fly! And a Universe Master could simply fly over and directly kill their target. A Universe Overlord, though capable of matching the power of the most ordinary Universe Master when exerting their full strength, this 'power' referred to a Universe Master's power *without* using a supreme treasure! But how could a Universe Master not possess a supreme treasure? Therefore, truly few Universe Overlords dared to challenge a Universe Master, or engage in a one-on-one battle with one. At least, there were no such powerful Universe Overlords on this Original Star! So, when they sensed this powerful binding force and realized a Universe Master was controlling a region of space-time, not a single Universe Venerable dared to resist. ... “This is bad.” “It shouldn't be Chaos City Lord, my teacher.” The Golden Horned Beast looked up slightly, sensing the omnipresent binding, and thought in alarm. If it were Chaos City Lord, he would have directly transmitted a message long ago. “Universe Masters are truly formidable.” “This binding is so strong; he probably isn't even using his full power yet,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. Once one becomes a Universe Master, they can control a region of space-time, even reverse space-time to witness past events, or even bring a fallen being from the past to the present. The scope of their space-time control is vast; at the very least, an Original Star with a diameter of merely 100 billion kilometers can be easily and completely enveloped. ... “Leave it to me.” “You may all disperse.” The Northern Territory Alliance Universe Overlords stationed on the Original Star heard a voice that made their hearts tremble. As Universe Overlords, most of them knew the Universe Masters within the Northern Territory Alliance, so upon hearing the voice, almost half of them immediately identified it as the voice of the Lord of Demon Subjugation. Instantly, they were overjoyed and also breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to be as cautious as before. ... The Lord of Demon Subjugation stood in the wilderness, instantly controlling everything on the entire Original Star. His single eye pierced through layers of spatial barriers, mountains, rocks, and soil, directly seeing a Golden Horned Beast in a distant forest, filled with astonishment. “Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance.” A hint of coldness flashed in the Lord of Demon Subjugation's single eye. “Hmph!” Boom! The space-time binding around the Golden Horned Beast in the vast forest suddenly surged, as if an invisible giant had grabbed the Golden Horned Beast and squeezed tightly, intending to crush it entirely. “Ah~~” In the forest. The Golden Horned Beast felt an overwhelmingly terrifying power descend. It immediately burned its divine power to resist, but the surrounding binding continued to surge and intensify, its might constantly increasing. “Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~” The Golden Horned Beast's divine body continuously depleted under this pressure, losing 1% in the blink of an eye. 99%, 98%, 97%... its divine body steadily weakened. “If, if I had the Jie Jia on me, reducing the attack power to one ten-thousandth, my divine power would never be annihilated so easily. However—a Universe Master is truly powerful. I haven't even seen him, and I'm already severely injured.” The Golden Horned Beast stood on all fours, struggling to maintain its stance and endure the pressure. “Golden Horned Beast.” A cold voice echoed around. “Where is your supreme treasure combat armor? You once faced a combined attack from eight high-level Universe Venerables, one of whom even used a supreme treasure, yet you were completely unharmed! How can I injure you merely by controlling space-time? Where is your supreme treasure combat armor? Where are your wings?” “Kill me, if you have the guts, kill me, hahahaha…” the Golden Horned Beast roared in a low voice. “It seems you've transferred all your supreme treasures,” the cold voice responded. “Hmph,” the Golden Horned Beast snorted. The Lord of Demon Subjugation, with his infinite power, was naturally not foolish enough to reach this level. He merely used space-time pressure on the Golden Horned Beast, intending to then condense divine power nearby for a long-range attack! But before he could condense divine power from a distance, the Golden Horned Beast's divine body began to annihilate continuously, which greatly surprised the Lord of Demon Subjugation. The Golden Horned Beast, legendary for its extremely strong defense, even more troublesome than many Universe Overlords, was being killed so easily? There was only one explanation— The Golden Horned Beast had already transferred its supreme treasures and everything else. “Golden Horned Beast, as a Universe Master, I disdain to kill you,” the cold voice came. “Your divine body was probably not easy to accumulate. Hand over the Jianhe Luo components! As long as you hand over the Jianhe Luo components, or tell me where they are, I will spare you.” “If I had my supreme treasures, great Universe Master, you would probably kill me directly, not waste words with me,” the Golden Horned Beast said in a low voice. “Unfortunately, I have no treasures on me, and your threats are useless. My Golden Horned Beast race is naturally capable of avatar techniques; even if this divine body falls, my other divine bodies will be unharmed.” “As for soul techniques?” “Hmph!” “With my will and consciousness, though I am no match for you, self-detonation before you successfully invade is easily achievable,” the Golden Horned Beast stated in a low voice. The surroundings fell silent. Clearly, the Lord of Demon Subjugation was also silent for a moment. Indeed, attempting to soul-control a Universe Overlord? That was too difficult. Even Universe Masters specializing in soul techniques found it almost impossible to turn a Universe Overlord into a slave! After all, the difference in will and consciousness between the two was not that great, and those who could become Universe Overlords were all extraordinary beings. Soul control was almost a pipe dream. Not to mention, the Lord of Demon Subjugation did not specialize in soul techniques. As for killing through soul invasion— How keen and cautious were Universe Overlords? Once they realized they couldn't resist, they would likely self-detonate instantly! ... “Golden Horned Beast.” The voice grew even colder. “Are you threatening me?” “I dare not threaten a Universe Master, I merely refuse to hand over the Jianhe Luo components,” the Golden Horned Beast said in a low voice. “Treasures appeared on the Original Star, and I obtained them through luck and strength. A Universe Master is exalted and holds a revered status. Why resort to such methods to seize my treasure? I believe a Universe Master is not lacking this one item.” “Hmph.” A cold snort exploded beside the Golden Horned Beast, clearly indicating the Lord of Demon Subjugation was growing angry. “You transferred your supreme treasures, at most to other powerful beings; they absolutely cannot leave this Original Star. After all, arrangements have long been made around it. And from the appearance of the Jianhe Luo until now, even at sub-light speed, the reachable range is limited! Within this range, there are a total of 122 Universe Venerables. Among them, 89 are well-known from the Prison Clan, Hong Alliance, etc., who would definitely not help you. The remaining 33 are either unknown or known but might potentially help you.” “Your supreme treasures must be with one of these 33 Universe Venerables.” “You have two choices.” “One, tell me where the supreme treasure is. I only want that one divine sword of the Jianhe Luo.” “Two, I'll spend some time, at most engaging in a massacre. I probably only need to kill ten or eight Universe Venerables to find the Jianhe Luo components. At that time, all your other supreme treasures will also be taken by me.” “Choose, the first path or the second path.” The Lord of Demon Subjugation's voice rang out. The Golden Horned Beast showed a shocked expression: “You, you… you want to commit a massacre?” “In the face of death, most of those 33 Universe Venerables will likely allow me to investigate. I only need to kill a few. Moreover, if they dare to defy me, what does it matter if I kill them?” the Lord of Demon Subjugation's voice continued. “This, this…” For the first time, the Golden Horned Beast seemed to panic. Luo Feng, however, was not panicking. Everything was within his expectations, just as Chaos City Lord had said: separating himself from his Youhai clone could buy some time. Of course, it was only a temporary delay. If Chaos City Lord didn't arrive, the Lord of Demon Subjugation would eventually find all the supreme treasures. “But I believe that for the sake of one divine sword from the Jianhe Luo, the Lord of Demon Subjugation will hesitate to launch a large-scale attack on other alien Universe Venerables.” “I will stall for as much time as possible; Teacher will arrive soon,” Luo Feng thought to himself. Just as the Golden Horned Beast was gritting its teeth and performing: “Lord of Demon Subjugation, you, a dignified Universe Master, how could you—” “Boom~~~~” An equally terrifying fluctuation instantly descended, simultaneously enveloping the entire Original Star. The terrifying space-time binding that had constrained the Golden Horned Beast was instantly shattered. “Another Universe Master!” “Two Universe Masters now.” “What in the world is happening to our Original Star?” The bewildered Universe Venerables on the Original Star were utterly shocked. “Teacher is here?” Luo Feng wondered. ... A giant flame beast, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, appeared in mid-air. Its boundless aura permeated the surroundings, exuding infinite majesty. “Lord of Demon Subjugation! I heard your Northern Territory Alliance intends to attack a powerful being from my Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance to seize treasures? Are you… provoking my Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance?” The giant beast head within the endless flames roared, its voice piercing through layers of space, directly reaching the towering Lord of Demon Subjugation in the distant wilderness. “Lord of Blazing Star!” A hint of anger flashed in the Lord of Demon Subjugation's single eye. The Lord of Blazing Star… was the most ancient and powerful existence of the Blazing Star Behemoth lineage, one of the twelve great bloodlines of the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance.
