Distress Call

On the surface of a Celestial Mountain Stone, a being as tiny as a speck of dust stood—the human Luo Feng. The stone itself towered thousands of kilometers high.

“Tilted Peak Sector!” Luo Feng stood on the Celestial Mountain Stone, gazing at the endless void around him. In the distance, the towering, endless main peak and the massive, cascading waterfall… freely exuded boundless power. This power caused countless Celestial Mountain Stones to orbit it, and also forced away large amounts of chaotic currents.

“From today, I, Luo Feng, will also begin my journey through the Universe Ocean.” Crystalline light burst forth from Luo Feng’s eyes.

Swoosh!

He vanished from the Celestial Mountain Stone, appearing in the distant void. Then, with successive teleports… he headed directly towards the endless Water Zone formed by the impact of the waterfall.

...

The outer region of the Tilted Peak Sector can be divided into the ‘Void Zone’ and the ‘Water Zone’. The Void Zone refers to the void where massive Celestial Mountain Stones fly, and its danger level is extremely low, with only occasional dangers found within some Celestial Mountain Stones. Over long ages, most of these countless Celestial Mountain Stones have already been explored.

Therefore, what the powerful beings refer to as the outer region of the Tilted Peak Sector mostly points to the ‘Water Zone’.

The Water Zone, formed by the impact of the waterfall, enveloped and surrounded the entire main peak. The Water Zone was filled with jagged rocks and dangers everywhere. In many places, even a Universe Master dared not teleport, having to cautiously fly forward. Only in the peripheral areas of the Water Zone, after being checked by a ‘domain-type supreme treasure’ and found to be safe, would teleportation be attempted.

“In the Water Zone of the Tilted Peak Sector’s outer region, the most common and terrifying danger is… ‘Water Flow Spirits’.” Luo Feng stood above, looking down at the endless Water Zone below.

The Water Zone was vast, with a diameter of several hundred million light-years.

It was even larger than a human Cosmic Nation! Larger than the Ancestral God Mystery Realm!

“Water Flow Spirits possess no intelligent consciousness.”

“They only have instinct. Once approached too closely, they will attack… A single Water Flow Spirit in this Water Zone, leveraging the water itself, is enough to rival a Universe Master.” Luo Feng marveled inwardly, then cautiously plunged directly into the Water Zone below, splashing up some waves.

In the Universe Ocean, even Immortal Gods would be instantly annihilated upon entry.

Yet this endless Water Zone could exist, clearly indicating that this ‘water’ was extraordinary. Each drop of water was like a star, and when the waves surged, their impact force was terrifying. However, Universe Masters could easily withstand these.

“The Water Zone is fraught with crises, but also abundant with treasures,” Luo Feng understood.

Treasures in the Water Zone existed in multiple forms.

To obtain treasures, one needed luck, strength, and courage.

...

As Luo Feng entered the Water Zone, deep within the vast and endless Water Zone, approximately over a hundred million light-years away from him...

Numerous mountain stones undulated, and the water pressure reached a terrifying degree, capable of instantly pulverizing even a Universe Venerable. “Rumble rumble rumble~~~” Amidst them, a Celestial Mountain Stone slowly began to emerge, causing all the surrounding stones to tremble. The Celestial Mountain Stone slowly rose… continuing…

The entire process lasted for a moment before stopping. That Celestial Mountain Stone had already protruded to a height of nearly a million kilometers.

Everything returned to calm.

Luo Feng, over a hundred million light-years away, remained completely unaware, continuing his cautious exploration of the Water Zone, and only in its shallowest parts.

...

Approximately 3 million light-years away from Luo Feng.

The majestic Suishi Master, whose divine body was faintly wreathed in flames, was slowly flying through the Water Zone. He had naturally separated from Lang’an Master, as exploring separately in the Universe Ocean increased the chances of encountering treasures.

“Hmph.”

“The humans brought Luo Feng to the Universe Ocean, probably to temper him and cultivate him properly. Non-human races in our Hong Alliance don’t get such opportunities.” Suishi Master grumbled inwardly, “He gets many supreme treasures without taking risks; it’s said he already had several supreme treasures at the Sector Lord level.”

“Just watch.”

“Let’s see how much trouble this kid stirs up. He’ll probably be calling for help from various factions soon enough,” Suishi Master scoffed.

Such things were not unprecedented. For instance, the Demon Race of the Original Universe cultivated and tempered Changjiu Master in a similar fashion. Changjiu Master was an exceptionally heaven-defying genius of the Demon Race back then, with immense potential. He was tempered early in the Universe Ocean, granted powerful supreme treasures for protection, and if he encountered irresistible danger, other powerful Demon Race members would immediately come to his rescue.

After countless ages of tempering, Changjiu Master indeed became one of the most formidable and terrifying Universe Masters within the Demon Race! His status was second only to Dream Demon Ancestor and Shocking Demon Ancestor.

Clearly, Dream Demon Ancestor and Shocking Demon Ancestor possessed keen insight, recognizing Changjiu Master’s potential.

However… this couldn’t hide the fact that Changjiu Master had called for help multiple times back then, causing the entire Demon Race Alliance to scramble in a chaotic rush to rescue him.

“This Luo Feng’s potential is indeed high.”

“He is indeed a heaven-defying genius, but he’s clearly at the bottom now. If he encounters some old Universe Masters, he’ll probably suffer greatly and have to call for help.” Suishi Master secretly shook his head. “Let him stir up trouble, let him do it. I just wonder if he’ll ever reach the level of the Demon Race’s Changjiu Master.”

Though displeased.

Yet Suishi Master understood that if Luo Feng called for help, and he was nearby, he would have to rush over immediately.

“If he calls for help, and I save him, I’ll definitely give him a good lecture,” Suishi Master mused. He knew this would displease Luo Feng, but after cultivating for endless ages to become a Universe Master, did he still need to be bound by rules? Laugh when you want to laugh, curse when you want to curse. What’s it to you if I’m stubborn and unyielding?

If I don’t like you, I’ll curse you.

I just don’t like you, Luo Feng, so what?

...

Deep within the Water Zone, Suishi Master cautiously avoided some distant ‘Water Flow Spirits’. These Water Flow Spirits were all white, streams of white energy, sometimes appearing humanoid, sometimes beast-like, strange and grotesque, drifting in the Water Zone.

This area was already considered deep, extremely dangerous.

His flying speed had to be very slow, let alone teleportation; he didn’t dare to teleport at all! After all, if entangled by a Water Flow Spirit, the consequences would be terrifying.

“Hmm?” Suishi Master was suddenly alarmed. “Space lockdown?”

The spatial fluctuations within the surrounding Water Zone had instantly ceased, making Suishi Master realize something was wrong. He carefully looked around and saw a point of light in the distance.

“Hahaha, Suishi Master of the Original Universe Human Alliance?” The point of light laughed heartily, its laughter transmitting through the Water Zone, reaching Suishi Master in an instant.

That point of light…

was a humanoid being. His entire body emitted a hazy white light, and behind his head were rings of white light, within which a massive, single-eyed phantom vaguely appeared.

“God-Eye Clan!” Suishi Master turned and fled, transforming into a streak of light.

The God-Eye Clan was one of the peak races of the First Universe Era, and could even be called the strongest peak race of that era. Their race boasted a full seven Universe Supremes! This was a very mysterious and terrifying race, likely appearing due to some special anomaly during the evolution of the Original Universe in that cosmic cycle, making them such a heaven-defying race.

“Can you escape?” the God-Eye Clan powerhouse said.

Rumble~~~~

Endless specks of sand were born from nothingness. Countless grains of sand instantly filled a radius of 3 light-years around them. One must know that the area was already under space lockdown; in fact, even without the lockdown, no one would dare to teleport recklessly, as this was a dangerous deep region. A radius of 3 light-years… how could Suishi Master possibly fly out in a short amount of time?

“Ice Sand Sea!” Suishi Master gnashed his teeth, turning to look at the humanoid being enveloped in white light. He snorted angrily, flames spewing from his nostrils. “An Yong Master, I haven’t obtained any remarkable supreme treasures. I fled immediately upon seeing you, do you really need to pursue me relentlessly?”

“Life is finite.”

The humanoid being enveloped in white light slowly said, “Eternity is hard to achieve. Seeking the path to eternity through endless slaughter is my only way now. Suishi Master… just die.”

Whoosh!

An Yong Master, enveloped in white light, with a white halo and a single-eyed phantom behind his head, pressed towards Suishi Master at an extremely high speed.

“Damn it.”

Suishi Master roared, “You want to kill me? Dream on!”

At the same time, he continued to flee at high speed, trying to buy time… Simultaneously, his clone in the Original Universe quickly sent out a distress call in the ‘Virtual Universe’.

“I was just talking about Luo Feng calling for help, and in the blink of an eye, I’m the one who needs to call for help.”

“This madman from the First Universe Era, truly a lunatic. I’m so unlucky to encounter An Yong Master.” Suishi Master was also filled with anxiety. He knew he was truly in mortal danger. “Either Chaos City Lord or Peng Gong Master must arrive for me to have any hope of survival.”

Suishi Master knew that only a few of those he had met at the gathering point could arrive in a short time.

Ghost Marquis Master, Lang’an Master, Anjue Master, their strength wasn’t enough. As for Luo Feng… even less so.

Only Chaos City Lord or Peng Gong Master could save him.

However, Chaos City Lord and Peng Gong Master were immensely powerful and likely in the ‘inner region of the Tilted Peak Sector’. If they were in the inner region, it would take a long time for them to arrive.

...

As soon as the distress call was sent, the Virtual Universe system immediately forwarded it to the Universe Masters of the Human Alliance currently in the Universe Ocean.

“Suishi is calling for help? An Yong Master of the God-Eye Clan from the First Universe Era is hunting him?”

Deep within the main peak of the Tilted Peak Sector.

Rumble rumble rumble~~~ Flames soared into the sky. Each flame impact was enough to cause a Universe Master to fall. A giant, wild man transformed into a phantom with every step, dodging the erratic flame eruptions.

“I’m deep inside; it would take too long to rush back. It’s too late.”

“Suishi, it’s all up to your luck now.”

...

“An Yong Master?” Lang’an Master, currently the closest to Suishi Master, was in the Water Zone over a million light-years away from Suishi Master. Its massive head blinked. “Big trouble. My going might not be very useful, but I’ll try my best to see if I can help.”

Whoosh!

Lang’an Master swiftly shot into the sky, instantly teleporting to the high altitude outside the Water Zone, then continuously teleported through the void, rushing towards the destination.

...

Luo Feng also received the distress call.

“Hmm?”

“A distress call? Suishi Master is calling for help? Looking at the marked reference address, it seems to be only about 3 million light-years away from me.” Although Luo Feng was somewhat displeased with Suishi Master, they were still part of the Human Alliance. “An Yong Master… not someone to provoke.”

Swoosh!

Luo Feng immediately teleported out of the Water Zone, then continuously teleported, rushing swiftly towards the destination.
