Desperate Times

The moment Wu Hun saw the Lava Demon God emerge from the distant magma sea high above, his heart sank with a premonition of disaster. Yet, he remained relatively calm, knowing that given the distance between them, his abilities would grant him ample time to escape to a deep teleportation point within the underground labyrinth.

The surrounding space was congealed, preventing immediate teleportation. Even upon initial entry into the underground labyrinth, teleportation was impossible. Only in the deepest reaches did space gradually begin to fluctuate, allowing escape once a 'cut point' was reached.

“That human is truly fortunate. If not for this Lava Demon God, I would have made him experience my Five Beast Great Extinction.” Wu Hun held himself to high standards. He had clashed with most of the top Universe Masters of the new generation in the Primal Universe. He didn't even hold the Star River Master in high regard; it was only the Star River Master’s peculiar and unique life form that allowed him to fight to a standstill.

Only the Chaos City Lord earned his admiration. Despite the Chaos City Lord’s relatively small human divine body, he could still clash head-on with Wu Hun’s Five Beast Great Extinction!

The Five Beast Great Extinction was the ultimate secret technique, a fusion of the strongest secret methods from the five beast god paths! Combined with the rare supreme treasures he had acquired, its power was simply unfathomable. He had spent nearly three reincarnation eras to truly perfect this move. The fact that the Chaos City Lord could rival him led Wu Hun to believe that the Chaos City Lord was the most promising candidate to become the next Universe Overlord in the Primal Universe.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~” As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Wu Hun, who was turning to flee at super-high speed, suddenly felt the endless golden flames around him pressing and squeezing, as if countless ropes were binding him.

“What?!” Wu Hun turned his head, looking back at Luo Feng in disbelief.

Without this obstruction, he could have escaped, but with such terrifying interference, he definitely wouldn't make it in time.

“None of you are getting away!” Luo Feng’s voice boomed through the golden domain, echoing in the ears of Wu Hun, Yin Tuo, and Jujin Master.

“Human Silverwing Lord, are you insane?” Jujin Master was frantic. He was calm about killing Luo Feng, but he was unwilling to die himself.

“Silverwing Lord, I already gave up chasing you. Don’t block me!” The golden horned lizard (Yin Tuo) roared anxiously, “They wanted to kill you, not me.”

Wu Hun’s eyes glinted with cold fury, clearly indicating his extreme rage: “Silverwing Lord, do you intend to perish together?”

“Perish together?” Luo Feng was still flying at super-high speed. “You are obstructed, but for me, this is an advantage. This is my domain, haha! Of course, you die, I live! Wu Hun… I heard you have clones, but this is probably your strongest clone, isn’t it? You’ve accumulated precious supreme treasures over nearly three reincarnation eras. Losing them, I believe you’d go mad.”

“We die, you live?” Wu Hun transmitted his divine power within the golden domain. “Too confident. Once I unleash the Wu Hun Realm combined with my Water Wave Prison, I can completely suppress you. Unless you use that Miniature Universe… but if you do, the Wu Hun Realm and Miniature Universe will surely perish together. Then I’ll definitely unleash it again. We’ll be in a stalemate, and no one will escape. I’ve lived for nearly three reincarnation eras, facing my limit, but you’re different. How long have you lived? Your lifespan is too short. Perishing with me like this isn’t worth it.”

“Silverwing Lord, at this moment, escaping is paramount for all of us,” Jujin Master added.

“Yes, yes, yes, escaping is paramount,” Yin Tuo also said anxiously.

“Haha, you have clones, and so do I. If it’s a stalemate, then it’s a stalemate. At worst… we all die!” Luo Feng continued to fly at super-high speed.

While described slowly, at their level of power, divine power communication was terrifyingly fast.

And the Lava Demon God’s speed was equally terrifying!

Its power had reached an incredible level. Even Universe Overlords wielding ultimate supreme treasures could only flee in disarray, which spoke volumes of its might. It was practically a humanoid ultimate supreme treasure, having reached the point of ‘breaking laws with sheer force’. All laws were meaningless to it. Its speed far exceeded the limit of ‘hundreds of times the speed of light’, even thousands or tens of thousands of times.

Just emerging from the magma sea, then—

Boom!

Its feet had already landed on the endless black rock ground. This giant Lava Demon God, hundreds of billions of kilometers tall, stomped… it was thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than any celestial rock. Boom, boom, boom~~~ Large areas of the endless black rock instantly shattered. Crack, crack, crack~~ Huge fissures and ravines opened up in the distance, and at the same time, the black rock ground in the surrounding hundreds of billions of kilometers sank several million kilometers.

This stomping impact also caused many tunnels and caves deep within the underground labyrinth beneath the black rock ground to collapse directly.

This stomp…

It felt as if it had stepped on the hearts and souls of Wu Hun, Yin Tuo, and Jujin Master.

They were desperate!

“Human, do you truly wish to perish together?” Wu Hun’s eyes blazed with ferocity. This was his main combat body, carrying his most precious supreme treasures, just as Luo Feng carried the Star Tower and Shi Wu Wings. Wu Hun was no different; if he fell, he would likely go mad.

“Human, hurry, hurry, hurry,” Jujin Master also urged.

“Silverwing Lord, I already gave up chasing you, why drag me to die with you?” Yin Tuo was also anxious. Although they were all ruthless, dying at the hands of the Lava Demon God like this was simply too unfair.

“Dying together, we’ll at least have a bond of life and death,” Luo Feng even joked.

Wu Hun looked at the distant Lava Demon God. In fact, the distance was still very far. Because of its immense divine body, the Lava Demon God could be clearly seen even from a great distance. But… although the distance was great, the Lava Demon God broke laws with sheer force, and its speed was thousands or tens of thousands of times the speed of light. This made Wu Hun’s heart burn with anxiety.

His face began to contort, his eyes flashing with ferocity, gritting his teeth: “Silverwing Lord, if you keep this up, we’ll all die together, and I swear… I, Wu Hun, will hunt you down, hunt down every single one of your clones. I’ll kill every clone I see!!!”

“Welcome your pursuit. Your pressure is my tempering,” Luo Feng taunted. “With such tempering, I will eventually step over you and enter the hall of Universe Overlords.”

Jujin Master’s face twitched.

This hateful human could still joke at such a critical moment, but he also knew… joking at this time, still able to laugh, clearly meant Luo Feng’s resolve was set and unchangeable.

“I, I, I didn’t…” Yin Tuo was extremely anxious.

“Didn’t you want to kill me and seize my treasures just now? Now you want to escape? It’s too late.” Luo Feng glanced at the golden horned lizard behind him, and simultaneously saw the incredibly majestic Lava Demon God in the distance behind him. Although very far, its majestic body still made Luo Feng feel pressure.

“Ah ah ah ah~~” Wu Hun’s heart burned with rage. He was furious, he was angry. The little guy he could have easily killed before now wanted to drag him to die together. He truly didn’t want to fall at the hands of a new human junior, so he had to endure!

“Silverwing Lord, let’s escape together. Release your domain’s suppression on me, and I swear I will never hunt you down, and I will give you a pinnacle supreme treasure.” Wu Hun truly compromised.

Because time was too tight.

The distant Lava Demon God was already sprinting at super-high speed, its giant feet stomping on the endless black rock ground again and again. Each stomp was an act of destruction, far more terrifying than any attack from a Universe Overlord.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Running, stomping, the endless rock ground trembled.

“Silverwing Lord!!!” Wu Hun stared intently at Luo Feng. Proud as he was, a hint of pleading inevitably appeared in his eyes now. For such a proud being to lower himself… it was incredibly difficult. But he truly didn’t want to give up the precious accumulation of nearly three reincarnation eras.

“Hurry, it’s too late, Silverwing Lord, Silverwing Lord,” Jujin Master also pleaded anxiously.

“Why didn’t I leave earlier? Why did I have to stay and watch Luo Feng and Wu Hun fight, watching the show, and now my life is on the line.” Yin Tuo was filled with regret.

“Hahahaha…”

Luo Feng, who had been teasing and joking, suddenly had an endless fierce glint in his eyes, and a ferocious expression on his face. “It’s truly amusing to see the dignified Wu Hun lower himself, but don’t dream. Just now, you were free to beat and kill me. Did you ever think of letting me go directly? Now you want to leave? Too late!”

“We gave you a chance just now,” Jujin Master quickly said.

“A chance? Was that a chance? You told me to hand over my palace supreme treasure and wing supreme treasure to spare my life?” Luo Feng sneered, “Very well, Wu Hun… you hand over the ‘Water Wave Prison’, ‘Forbidden Elucidation Palace’, and ‘Extinction God Armor’, and I’ll let you go!”

“And Jujin Master, hand over the ‘Blade Core Realm’! I’ll let you go too.”

“Yin Tuo, hand over the ‘Golden Scale Armor’! I’ll spare your life too!”

At these words.

Wu Hun, Jujin Master, and Yin Tuo all fell silent.

Especially Wu Hun. The Water Wave Prison was a pinnacle domain supreme treasure, the Forbidden Elucidation Palace was a pinnacle palace supreme treasure, and the Extinction God Armor was his lifeblood… far more precious than the Water Wave Prison and Forbidden Elucidation Palace combined, absolutely comparable to a wonder.

“Didn’t you say you gave me a chance? I’m giving you a chance too. The chance is here, seize it.” Luo Feng’s eyes were full of scorn and disdain.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Lava Demon God’s steps were terrifyingly fast. Each step advanced nearly a hundred billion kilometers. It was clearly visible that the Lava Demon God was growing larger and larger in their sight.

This made Wu Hun anxious, so anxious he was going mad, so anxious he wanted to gnaw off Luo Feng’s flesh, crush Luo Feng’s bones, and suck out Luo Feng’s blood!

“This damned Luo Feng!” Wu Hun roared in his heart.

“Then you won’t live either!” Wu Hun suddenly roared.

The single-eyed phantom behind him instantly released endless light, changing the heavens and earth, instantly transforming into a world, the ‘Wu Hun Realm’. And the Water Wave Prison was unleashed again… combined with the Wu Hun Realm, it instantly annihilated Luo Feng’s golden domain and flame sea. But Luo Feng grinned ferociously and unleashed his Miniature Universe.

Endless chaotic energy permeated.

On one side was the Wu Hun Realm and Water Wave Prison, on the other was the golden domain, Miniature Universe, and flame sea.

The two fiercely entangled, the Miniature Universe and Wu Hun Realm colliding with each other.

Bang!!!

Both shattered.

However, in just about a second of entanglement, the Lava Demon God was already incredibly close.

“It’s too late,” said the golden horned lizard, who was at the very back and closest to the Lava Demon God, its voice filled with despair.
