A Shared Road to Ruin

Within the main hall of the Hong Alliance Hall, located in the inner city of Virtual Universe Hong Alliance City, numerous Universe Masters were gathered. “I just heard about it from the Second Reincarnation Era, but I’m not sure if it’s true,” Flint Master said, anxiously looking around. “Luo Feng has done me a great service. If he’s truly in grave danger…” “This news must be false,” Void Gold Master shook his head. “Chaos and I entered the Universe Boat together, and Chaos strictly warned Luo Feng. Besides, Luo Feng’s own strength is weak; he wouldn’t venture into the inner region, let alone the God-Slaying Ravine! Moreover, with his limited power, how could he possibly contend with Wu Hun Master and the others to such an extent?” “Indeed.” “Exactly.” The Universe Masters present nodded in agreement. Wu Hun Master, from the First Reincarnation Era, was an entity capable of standing on equal footing with Chaos City Lord. “Don’t worry, I have some connections with a few Universe Masters from Purple Moon Holy Land. I’ll inquire,” Peng Gong Master said with a smile. Immediately, the dozen or so Universe Masters present turned their gaze to Peng Gong Master. Peng Gong Master was low-key, yet his strength was on par with Chaos City Lord, granting him an extremely high status. Peng Gong Master’s expression gradually turned solemn. “It’s confirmed.” Peng Gong Master’s gaze swept across the room. “Luo Feng indeed ventured into the God-Slaying Ravine in the inner region of the Universe Boat and battled Yin Tuo, Wu Hun Master, and Ultimate Arrow Master. Afterward, the Lava Demon God appeared… inflicting unprecedented severe damage on Yin Tuo, forcing Ultimate Arrow Master and Wu Hun Master into the Magma Sea. Ultimate Arrow Master perished there, while Wu Hun Master managed to cross the Magma Sea, though he likely suffered significant losses.” “This…” “Is this true?” The Universe Masters from various races in the main hall of the Hong Alliance Hall were utterly shocked and stunned. Ultimate Arrow perished? Yin Tuo severely injured, Wu Hun forced to cross the Magma Sea? “Peng Gong, are you certain?” Void Gold Master couldn’t help but ask. It was no joke; Ultimate Arrow Master was his equal in strength. “Certain,” Peng Gong Master nodded. “I’ll summon Chaos.” A moment later— Upon learning the news, Chaos City Lord was also shaken. His first action was to immediately summon Luo Feng: “Luo Feng, come here at once.” “Teacher, Peng Gong Master, Void Gold Master, everyone…” As soon as Luo Feng appeared in the hall, he greeted those present. “Silver River Lord.” “Silver River Lord.” Each of them spoke, their voices tinged with respect. In the past, because Luo Feng was a newly ascended Universe Master, other Universe Masters didn’t hold him in high regard, merely maintaining civility. But this incident was too monumental; it had led to the demise of Ultimate Arrow Master, severely injured the supposedly unkillable Yin Tuo, and forced the powerful Wu Hun Master to risk crossing the Magma Sea. Admiration! “Is the matter with Yin Tuo, Wu Hun Master, and Ultimate Arrow Master true?” Chaos City Lord asked. “Yes,” Luo Feng nodded. “Yin Tuo was kicked twice by the Lava Demon God; his Golden Scale Armor is probably damaged. As for Yin Tuo, even if he didn’t die, his Divine Body likely has little left.” “Ultimate Arrow Master, his blade core realm is in Wu Hun Master’s hands, so he’s probably truly dead.” “Wu Hun Master, having crossed the Magma Sea, likely paid no small price.” Luo Feng’s direct words made the hearts of Chaos City Lord, Void Gold Master, and the other powerful beings pound. This was a life-and-death struggle. “What about you?” Chaos City Lord pressed. “Of course, I also had no choice but to cross the Magma Sea,” Luo Feng replied. Immediately, the hearts of the Universe Masters sank. Crossing the Magma Sea? It was practically a death wish. “I fortunately survived and reached Flame Water Lake, but I’m being pursued by Feng Long Master, Pan Ke Master, You Ya Master from Purple Moon Holy Land, and that tenacious Wu Hun Master. The four of them are hunting me down…” Luo Feng stated directly. “And now, Teacher, you’ve summoned me while I’m still fleeing for my life.” “Four? Feng Long Master, Wu Hun Master?” Chaos City Lord held his breath. Luo Feng nodded. “What do we do? What can be done?” Chaos City Lord frowned deeply. “You’re in Flame Water Lake; even if I were to rush there, it would take decades. Giant Axe Creator is still in the Tilted Peak Sector… Who can save you?” “There’s no time to save him,” Void Gold Master shook his head. Peng Gong Master also frowned. Luo Feng, however, spoke directly: “Teacher, please rest assured. This battle has escalated to this point. Wu Hun Master and I are locked in an endless struggle… At worst, I’ll sacrifice my main combat original body. I will absolutely not retreat in the slightest. They are currently pursuing me, and I cannot afford to be distracted, so I will take my leave.” Luo Feng bowed, and with a whoosh, he vanished. “Endless struggle?” Chaos City Lord, Peng Gong Master, and the others felt their hearts completely seize up, but they were powerless. “Incredible.” Meanwhile, other Universe Masters, especially those from the Hong Alliance’s affiliated races, trembled inwardly. It was one thing to have killed Ultimate Arrow Master, but now he was locked in a death match with Wu Hun Master and even fighting against Feng Long Master and the others from Purple Moon Holy Land. This was utterly insane; they normally wouldn’t dare provoke terrifying existences like Feng Long Master or Wu Hun Master. … “Luo Feng, run, run! Let’s see how long you can run. If I don’t kill you, how can I, Wu Hun, establish myself in the Universe Ocean?” Wu Hun Master roared. “You’re dead, you’re dead!!!” “Dead? Killing relies on strength, not your mouth! Just shut up!” Luo Feng retorted, rapidly ascending into the distance. Luo Feng was now flying at the very top. Pan Ke Master and You Ya Master were closest to him, less than a hundred million kilometers below. At their speed of a hundred times the speed of light, they could cover that distance in mere seconds. Wu Hun Master and Feng Long Master were both approaching him diagonally from other directions. Their distance from Luo Feng was considerably greater… Wu Hun Master was still over a hundred billion kilometers away, and Feng Long Master was even further. “Whoosh~~” The higher he flew, the colder it became. At the very top of the cold wind belt… was the perpetually swirling and pervasive Frozen Lake Thunderfire. Looking up, endless flames covered the deepest reaches of the high sky. Throughout countless ages, the Frozen Lake Thunderfire had always existed there. Occasionally, large fluctuations would occur, spreading downwards… sometimes even impacting the Flame Water Lake below, causing the entire Flame Water Lake to freeze solid. If it didn’t spread downwards, it remained at the highest altitude. “The very top is the Frozen Lake Thunderfire!” “He’s been flying for days now, and the Frozen Lake Thunderfire is right above. Why is Silver River Lord Luo Feng still flying upwards? The Frozen Lake Thunderfire is extremely cold; even top-tier palace-type supreme treasures would shatter within it. It’s terrifying, but it seems he must possess a peak palace-type supreme treasure.” Swish! Luo Feng in the high sky instantly plunged into a blood-colored pyramid. Riding the blood-colored pyramid, he directly rushed into the endless Frozen Lake Thunderfire above. “You Ya, come in.” Pan Ke Master also took out a silver-white sphere, adorned with complex secret patterns. As they both entered it one after another. The silver sphere also swiftly drilled into the vast Frozen Lake Thunderfire. A long time later— “Escaped into the Frozen Lake Thunderfire? No matter where you run, you won’t escape!” Wu Hun Master’s eyes burned with furious flames. Immediately, his Annihilation Divine Armor disintegrated, quickly re-forming into Five Beast Gods, with him inside. Controlling the Five Beast Gods… he also plunged into the Frozen Lake Thunderfire. A moment later, Feng Long Master also entered the Frozen Lake Thunderfire, riding his peak palace-type supreme treasure. “Strange.” “Luo Feng’s speed has slowed.” “Yes, he’s decelerating, how odd.” Pan Ke Master and You Ya Master, who were closely following Luo Feng, were puzzled. “Feng Long, Luo Feng’s flying speed has decreased.” “Just follow him. The very front is a dead end; he can’t escape,” Feng Long Master replied. … Luo Feng slowed down, and Pan Ke Master and You Ya Master, knowing they couldn’t harm Luo Feng, also slowed their pace. Meanwhile, Wu Hun Master and Feng Long Master behind them continued at maximum speed. One slow, one fast. The distance between Wu Hun Master and Luo Feng grew shorter: sixty billion kilometers, fifty billion, forty billion… ten billion, five billion, one billion, one hundred million kilometers… “Luo Feng, you truly seek death. If you seek death, and I don’t kill you, wouldn’t I be letting down your intentions?” Wu Hun Master’s words were filled with boundless killing intent. “Wu Hun, you’ve pursued me for so long, you truly have perseverance. Do you know what lies ahead?” Luo Feng’s speed gradually decreased, his voice, transmitted through the Golden Kingdom, naturally reached Wu Hun Master’s ears. “That place is a dead end,” Wu Hun Master said. “Yes, it’s a dead end, or more accurately, the Twelve Abysses,” Luo Feng replied. At the very top of the Flame Water Lake space, there was the Frozen Lake Thunderfire. How was the Frozen Lake Thunderfire born? It originated from the Twelve Abysses. The Twelve Abysses were twelve immensely vast, endless spaces. Six of these abysses continuously erupted with incredibly cold Frozen Lake Thunderfire, while the other six constantly devoured the endless Frozen Lake Thunderfire. This formed a cycle; if the eruption force was stronger than the devouring force, the endless Frozen Lake Thunderfire would spread to the Flame Water Lake below. And the Abysses were a dead end! They were considered a dead end for two reasons: first, once entered, there was no other exit; one could only return through the abyss entrance. Second, only Universe Supreme Beings had a chance of survival upon entering. Even Universe Masters possessing Ultimate Supreme Treasures dared not enter. To enter… was to walk a road to ruin. “The Abyss…” Luo Feng flew upwards. The endless Frozen Lake Thunderfire above had already been devoured, forming a massive, distorted vortex. A vast, endless abyssal black hole appeared above, its powerful suction force requiring Luo Feng to combine the Star Tower and the Golden Kingdom just to resist it. “Trying to scare me? Hmph, the closer to the abyss, the stronger the suction. However, the suction force you can withstand is definitely inferior to mine. You’re dead!” The ferocious Five Beast Gods roared, transforming into a streak of light, and charged towards Luo Feng. Luo Feng looked up at the endless, dark abyssal black hole above. This place was even more terrifying than the Magma Sea; even if he fell into the abyss, he wouldn’t be able to escape. “Come any closer, and don’t regret it,” Luo Feng said. “Haha, regret should be yours!” The Five Beast Gods roared, their massive hooves already trampling towards the blood-colored pyramid. “I am not your match, so…” Luo Feng said softly. Boom~~~~ A Miniature Universe instantly formed, completely enveloping both Wu Hun Master and Luo Feng. The massive Miniature Universe couldn’t resist the overwhelming suction force, and it didn’t even try to resist, being instantly sucked into the dark, endless abyss. As the Miniature Universe collapsed under the suction force, Wu Hun Master, already sucked deep inside, struggled desperately, but it was too late… “No!” Wu Hun Master cried out in shock and fury, the Five Beast Gods frantically trying to fly back. “It is my honor to have Wu Hun Master accompany me on this road to ruin,” Luo Feng’s voice echoed in Wu Hun Master’s ears. … Silence. Outside the endless abyssal black hole, a silver sphere floated. A moment later, a palace also appeared there. “Madman, madman.” Pan Ke Master and You Ya Master still trembled slightly. That was a dead end. Even Universe Masters with Ultimate Supreme Treasures were unwilling to enter. “This Silver River Lord is such a crazy fellow, crazy towards others, and crazy towards himself.” Feng Long Master also gazed at the massive abyssal black hole high above, his heart trembling. He understood that Wu Hun Master was finished! He suddenly realized… what a grave mistake it was to choose to seize Luo Feng’s treasure. “Fortunately, he dragged Wu Hun in, not me,” Feng Long Master secretly rejoiced.
