Encirclement

In the dark starry sky, three wills traversed space-time and descended here. They were the three Cosmic Ultimate Experts from the Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race. The silver-white snake head, coiled in the starry sky, spoke directly: "Luo Feng has appeared on an Original Star, and it can be confirmed... he possesses the combat power of a Cosmic Master."

"I have received the news," a voice emanated from the massive elliptical black sphere's phantom. "Your Demon Race's Tianhua Venerable battled Luo Feng on Original Star No. 02933. Tianhua Venerable was no match for him and only survived by relying on a flying palace-type supreme treasure."

"I also received this news," the graceful figure added.

"Since we all know, that's even better." The silver-white snake head's voice carried an invisible might; any weaker being hearing it would naturally feel boundless terror. "This is a rare opportunity. Luo Feng is currently on an Original Star. If our three factions join forces, we can seize this chance to eliminate him."

"Of course, he must be eliminated, but I want to confirm, is he truly a Cosmic Master now?" the graceful figure's gentle voice inquired.

"I also wish to know," the massive elliptical black sphere's phantom echoed.

Although none of them could believe that someone could become a Cosmic Master after such a short period of cultivation. Yet, they understood that the evolution of the cosmos was always unpredictable, and any miracle could arise.

The silver-white snake head said, "It's uncertain, it could be, or it might not be! I, of course, hope he is a Cosmic Master." Even the two from the Mechanical Race and Insect Race shared this hope, because if Luo Feng wasn't a Cosmic Master yet possessed such formidable combat power, how terrifying would he become once he truly broke through! If he had already broken through, it meant Luo Feng wouldn't grow much stronger in the future, and thus, the threat would be significantly smaller.

"I suspect he possesses an extremely powerful talent secret technique, and it's by relying on it that he was able to heavily injure my disciple," the silver-white snake head stated. "If that's the case, then he is still a Cosmic Venerable, and this menace must naturally be eliminated! It's also possible he truly is a Cosmic Master... even if he is, getting rid of him would still remove a significant force from humanity. What do you two races think? My Demon Race alone, under the interference of the Hong Alliance, would find it difficult to hunt down Luo Feng. But if our three races unite, we'll have much greater confidence in killing him."

The Mechanical Race's Father God and the Insect Race's Empress both fell silent for a moment.

"I agree!"

"I agree."

One after another, the elliptical black sphere's phantom and the graceful figure both spoke.

"With our three races united, we are naturally unstoppable." The silver-white snake head let out a laugh. "I propose that each of our races dispatches three Cosmic Masters! Three factions combined make nine Cosmic Masters. Nine Cosmic Masters will arrive at that Original Star through different vortex passages to carry out the encirclement. What can the Hong Alliance do, even if they resist?"

"Nine Cosmic Masters?"

"Isn't that overestimating Luo Feng a bit?"

The Insect Race and Mechanical Race were somewhat reluctant. In terms of the number of Cosmic Masters, the Mechanical Race and Insect Race actually had very few, fewer than both humanity and the Demon Race.

"If we're going to kill him, we must not give him any chance. Otherwise, sending too few might allow Luo Feng to escape, and if he grows stronger in the future, humanity will naturally become even more powerful. You must understand... if it weren't for that madman from the human race being too insane, our three major races would have long been suppressed by humanity! Do not underestimate humans; their potential is terrifying. In Luo Feng, I see the shadow of that madman from back then," the silver-white snake head declared.

"No way."

"How could that be..."

At the thought of that madman from the human race, long since vanished into the river of history, both the Mechanical Race's Father God and the Insect Race's Empress felt a chill. However, that madman had destroyed himself due to his own excessive madness.

"Just think, how long has Luo Feng been cultivating?" the silver-white snake head said.

"My Insect Race Alliance will dispatch three," the graceful phantom stated.

"My Mechanical Race Alliance will dispatch three," the elliptical black sphere's phantom said.

...

The highest echelons of the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race quickly reached an agreement, finalizing the 'Hunt Luo Feng' plan. Nine Cosmic Masters would serve as the primary force, with a large number of Cosmic Venerables and Cosmic Overlords from their three alliances acting as auxiliary support to kill Luo Feng! Their three racial alliances' other powerful forces would serve as a backup, to guard against the Hong Alliance!

...

Above the forest of Original Star No. 02933, Luo Feng flew rapidly, a white shuttle constantly following behind him.

"Following?"

Luo Feng glanced back. "The Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race must have received the news long ago. With their efficiency, I'm sure they've already formulated a plan. But... how could you know my trump cards? This battle that will make my name... will certainly be spectacular."

Swish, swish, swish~~~

Endless golden waves materialized out of thin air, instantly covering a radius of thirty million kilometers, submerging the white shuttle behind him in the boundless surge. The immense resistance sharply reduced the white shuttle's speed.

"Nine Xia River?" Tianhua Venerable lowered his head, his blood-red single eye beneath his snow-white fur instantly revealing a hint of disdain. "Dreaming of escaping, are we?"

His divine power spread out, exploring the surroundings.

Boom!

However, the divine power he used for exploration was directly obstructed and isolated.

"Forbidding my exploration? Useless. I am within the Nine Xia River, and you are controlling the Nine Xia River... The moment you move even slightly further away from me, exceeding thirty million kilometers, I will be out of the Nine Xia River and naturally able to continue tailing you." Tianhua Venerable was completely confident, not anxious in the slightest.

Time flowed...

The Nine Xia River continued to advance rapidly, and Tianhua Venerable remained within it. After a moment.

"Why keep maintaining the Nine Xia River? Is there nowhere else to expend your divine power?" Tianhua Venerable sneered, then paused. "Wait!"

"Space Law Domain!"

Tianhua Venerable immediately unleashed his law domain.

Rumble~~~

It directly collided with the law domain contained within the Nine Xia River. The two domains continuously clashed, making Tianhua Venerable feel even more uneasy. Why did Luo Feng keep obstructing him, preventing him from exploring clearly? There must be something wrong!

"Hahaha, Tianhua Venerable, you truly are foolish enough." A hearty laugh rang out, and simultaneously, the golden river instantly vanished.

In the mid-air, a majestic Golden Horn Behemoth with six sharp horns was visible.

From the white shuttle, a snow-white furred head cautiously emerged, its blood-red single eye scanning the surroundings. It couldn't help but rage, "Where is he? Where is Luo Feng?"

"He's long gone," the Golden Horn Behemoth chuckled.

"Damn Golden Horn Behemoth, how, how did you control this Nine Xia River!" Tianhua Venerable was both anxious and furious.

"Luo Feng and I are sworn brothers, adventuring through the Original Stars together. I've simply been hiding inside his world ring. Just now, he was flying ahead, and you were following behind. He had already secretly placed the Nine Xia River into his world ring and withdrawn his life imprint, allowing me to use it temporarily." The Golden Horn Behemoth in mid-air chuckled. "The sudden appearance of the Nine Xia River? That was me controlling it! Luo Feng has long since slipped away... by now, he's far, far away."

"Bastard."

Tianhua Venerable gritted his teeth.

He finally remembered. Luo Feng had earned his reputation as a top-tier Cosmic Overlord precisely because he had wantonly slaughtered alien Venerables. At the time, many alien Venerables claimed they were killed by a 'black alien beast', or specifically, by a black Golden Horn Behemoth!

"I actually forgot he had such a Golden Horn Behemoth friend," Tianhua Venerable fumed inwardly.

"Haha, if you want to chase, go quickly. Maybe you can still catch Luo Feng." The Golden Horn Behemoth laughed, casually flapped its wings, and soared away through the air.

Tianhua Venerable seethed with resentment. To be deceived by such a trick, he had been far too careless!

"Teacher, Luo Feng escaped, I lost him." In the virtual space of the Demon Race's Dream Ancestor Secret Realm, Tianhua Venerable could only report to his Dream Demon Ancestor.

...

Lost him!

This infuriated the three races who had just formulated their plan, but there was nothing they could do. They immediately revised their strategy, ordering the powerhouses of the Demon Race Alliance, Insect Race Alliance, and Mechanical Race Alliance to conduct a large-scale search on Original Star No. 02933. They also dispatched a total of nine Cosmic Masters to quickly arrive at Original Star No. 02933.

...

"Chasing me?"

Luo Feng flew in mid-air, while the Golden Horn Behemoth, located elsewhere, began deliberately flying towards the same spot, preparing to rendezvous.

"That Tianhua Venerable underestimated me too much; just the first trick fooled him completely." Luo Feng smiled, and just as he was smiling happily—

Boom~~~~

Heaven and Earth fell silent! An endless pressure instantly enveloped the entire Original Star. The first of the nine Cosmic Masters from the Demon Race and the other two races had descended upon this Original Star. All the Cosmic Venerables from various factions across the planet fell silent, each filled with dread and caution. They understood... a Cosmic Master had arrived!

"Luo Feng, you will surely die!" A voice, deep as the trembling earth, resonated around Luo Feng.

"I wonder which Cosmic Master this is," Luo Feng chuckled.

"Insect Race Alliance, Banfu Master!" The voice echoed around Luo Feng.

Luo Feng chuckled softly, "You want to kill me, just you? Hahaha..." Luo Feng's laughter grew louder and louder, completely disregarding the spatial obstructions around him.

Luo Feng continued flying in mid-air, no longer deliberately trying to rendezvous with the Golden Horn Behemoth.

"This is Luo Feng's coordinates."

"Surround him!"

"Form a tight encirclement." The three racial alliances—Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race—swiftly transmitted messages, beginning to arrange for a large number of Cosmic Venerables to converge on those coordinates. Even powerhouses from the three major racial alliances on other Original Stars were rapidly rushing over. This was a collective major operation by the three peak racial alliances.

The Hong Alliance naturally received the news immediately and quickly began making arrangements.

Boom~~~

Approximately half an hour after Banfu Master descended upon Original Star No. 02933, another Cosmic Master arrived. However, as soon as he arrived, he began to contend for control over space-time, causing the entire Original Star's space-time to become somewhat chaotic, mutually influencing each other, making it impossible for either side to fully control it.

"It's a Cosmic Master from my Hong Alliance," Luo Feng immediately guessed.

At this moment, Luo Feng also received an email from his teacher, Chaos City Lord, in the Virtual Universe.

"Luo Feng, Longxing Master has already descended upon your Original Star! This time, the three alliances—Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race—are doing everything in their power to deal with you. My Hong Alliance can only try our best to interfere and disrupt their actions. Even if I, your teacher, arrive, I will be held back by their three racial alliances. It is rumored that you now possess the combat power of a Cosmic Master? Do you have the confidence to escape this calamity? If the situation becomes truly dire, it's better to self-destruct, understand?"

The Hong Alliance was not worried. Because they had long ago bestowed upon Luo Feng the soul-type supreme treasure 'Yu Xiang', in their view, Luo Feng possessed the talent clone technique, so at most, he would only lose some supreme treasures.

"Teacher, your disciple naturally has confidence," Luo Feng replied directly with this email.

...

"It's getting more and more exciting. The curtain has been drawn, let the show begin. I wonder what my battle for fame will ultimately become," Luo Feng's smile grew wider.
