Annihilation

Eight Universe Masters from the God-Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, and East Emperor Holy Land simultaneously unleashed their attacks. Their divine power burned, transforming directly into roaring monstrous beasts, or giant axes capable of cleaving all, or countless entwining threads... All these various attack methods converged upon Luo Feng alone. “This damn bunch of scoundrels!” Luo Feng gnashed his teeth in fury, his divine body instantly vibrating. Whoosh! The Demon-Slaying God Armor on his body abruptly expanded, then swiftly condensed into a Beast God—a colossal Horned Lizard! Just like Yin Tuo’s Golden Scale Armor and Wu Hun Master’s Demon-Slaying God Armor, it could instantly transform into a Beast God. His true body, meanwhile, hid within the Beast God. Protective armors capable of expanding and condensing into a Beast God were generally more valuable than even ordinary Peak Palace Supreme Treasures. “Roar~~~” The Horned Lizard let out a furious roar, allowing the eight streams of attacks to crash upon it, yet it remained completely unharmed. “God-Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, East Emperor Holy Land, you’ve stooped to such shamelessness!” the Horned Lizard roared. “Shameless? What a joke. With our lifespan nearing its end, this precious Duan Dong River inheritance is our only chance at survival. For this inheritance... nothing we do can be considered shameless.” A God-Eye Clan expert sneered. “Luo Feng, you humans want this inheritance too? A weak race with only a single Universe Supreme Being.” A three-faced, eight-armed elder from the Purple Moon Holy Land sneered, “How laughable!” The Horned Lizard cast a cold glance at him. Weak? They probably don’t know the strength of the Giant Axe Founder. “Do you think having an armor treasure allows you to ignore us?” A sinister God-Eye Clan expert sneered, “Everyone, let’s act. Eliminate this greatest threat.” “Alright.” “Even if we can’t kill him, we must prevent him from concentrating on studying the Rhinoceros Emperor Game.” Instantly, the eight Universe Masters resumed their siege. Last time, they had merely attacked from a distance with divine power, their might not particularly great. But this time... these Universe Masters, mostly Fifth-tier, and at least top-tier Fourth-tier, each charged forward, launching either soul attacks or close-quarters assaults. “Roar~~~” The Horned Lizard roared in fury, “A bunch of scoundrels! You don’t even dare to compete fairly in comprehension.” “What is fair?” “Weak humans, the weak have no right to talk about fairness.” “Haha, how ridiculous.” Amidst their sneers, they wantonly attacked the Horned Lizard. Boom~~~ The Horned Lizard tumbled and crashed against the side wall, even striking one of the stone pillars adorned with holographic projections, causing the pillar to tremble violently. However, these stone pillars were indestructible... which only emboldened the eight Universe Masters further. Under their siege, Luo Feng couldn’t even retaliate. “The Demon-Slaying God Armor, expanded into a Beast God, possesses extremely strong defense! Comparable to a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure... but its combat power is still only at the Fourth-tier level.” “Out of the eight of them, six are clearly stronger than me, and only two are my equal.” “The most critical thing is that even those two aren’t fighting me one-on-one; they’re ganging up on me.” Luo Feng was furious, maintaining the Horned Lizard’s stability with his burning divine power. Although he struggled and dodged, he was still being battered. In such a battle, constantly maintaining the Horned Lizard’s stability... also distracted him. His comprehension efficiency immediately plummeted. “Damn it!” “Is Duan Dong River just going to watch all this happen?” Luo Feng was both enraged and bewildered by Duan Dong River’s intentions. The words Duan Dong River had spoken earlier... had essentially made him a target for everyone! It was widely known in the Universe Ocean that he had cultivated for a short time, and he was among the first batch to enter this inheritance. During the Rubik’s Cube Instrument test, Duan Dong River had already taken special notice of him, and he was the first to successfully solve the 124th stage of the Rhinoceros Emperor Game. All these factors... How could the God-Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, and East Emperor Holy Land simply watch Luo Feng obtain the inheritance? Naturally, they struck with ruthless intent! “Roar~~” The Horned Lizard let out an enraged roar, its four hooves stomping fiercely, directly cutting through the illusory figures as it galloped towards the group of Undying Gods at the other end of the corridor. “Oh no.” “Everyone, get out of the way.” The Undying Gods jumped in fright. Would a battle at the Universe Master level affect them? In fact, since the siege began, no one had fallen, because no one knew Duan Dong River’s rules... Since it was a selection of candidates, from Duan Dong River’s perspective, he likely wouldn’t want to see a massacre among the candidates. Thus, the eight Universe Masters besieging Luo Feng wisely controlled their energy, ensuring the battle’s fluctuations never reached the Undying Gods. But now, Luo Feng had charged into the midst of a large group of Undying Gods... Once a battle erupted, even with the most careful control, the slightest ripple could be enough to cause an Undying to fall. “Bang!” A dazzling heavy hammer, seemingly filling the heavens and earth, smashed onto the Horned Lizard’s back, causing its four hooves to buckle. An invisible wave of energy spread out, and among the Undying Gods who had already fled, two unlucky souls were still caught in the blast, dissipating like dust in the wind... Whoosh! They vanished instantly, utterly annihilated. “Dead!” The Horned Lizard glanced back. “An Undying died.” The eight Universe Masters besieging Luo Feng were also startled, pausing temporarily to observe. Masters Ying Ai, Wu Liang, and Lu Chong also looked over, filled with anticipation. Since the arrival of the large group of experts, these three had never interfered in matters concerning Luo Feng. This was because they were the most valued by the God-Eye Clan and Purple Moon Holy Land, holding the greatest hope of inheriting the legacy. Naturally, the two major powers were unwilling to let them take risks. For a brief moment, silence fell. The Horned Lizard and the eight besieging Universe Masters all watched for a reaction, to see if the deaths of the two Undyings would provoke any response from Duan Dong River. “Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!” Suddenly, the stone pillars adorned with holographic projections—123 on the left and 123 on the right—simultaneously erupted with black and white threads. A total of 246 beams of light instantly condensed in mid-air, forming a wisp of spiritual light, like a swimming serpent, which directly swept towards the Universe Master from the East Emperor Universe who had previously struck Luo Feng with a hammer. The light was incredibly fast, already far exceeding a hundred times the speed of light, surpassing the limits allowed by the operating laws. “Swish!” All the experts only felt a sharp fluctuation. “Ah~~” With an unwilling roar, the burly Universe Master wielding the divine hammer was directly annihilated and dissipated, leaving only some Supreme Treasures scattered on the ground. Hundreds of threads were seen coiling around the divine hammer, armor, and other Supreme Treasures, swiftly whisking them towards the nearest stone pillar adorned with a holographic projection. The divine hammer, armor, and other Supreme Treasures vanished directly into the stone pillar. The entire corridor fell silent. For a long, long time... “Huawu Master is dead?” “Huawu Master...” “The Huawu Master of the East Emperor Holy Land Universe...” The experts present were completely shaken. Even Luo Feng felt a chill in his heart; it was too terrifying... He had thought that even if Duan Dong River were to punish them, he would send subordinates similar to the monster Kui Luo. But these stone pillars in the corridor actually contained secret arts, capable of being activated even countless cycles of eras after their master’s demise. With a single strike, Huawu Master was annihilated! Huawu Master, a special lifeform residing in the East Emperor Holy Land Universe, was originally skilled in trapping enemies and other such methods. Moreover, he was inherently a mist-like being... even after condensing into a human form, killing him remained extremely difficult. Because he had cultivated in the mastery of secret arts for countless cycles of eras, this mist-being could unleash attacks of ultimate strength and rigidity. In terms of strength, he could absolutely rival Chaos City Lord! In terms of life-saving ability, he was even a notch stronger than Chaos City Lord. Such a being, who had lived for an incredibly long time... An existence capable of traversing the Universe Ocean, whom even a Universe Supreme Being would find incredibly difficult to kill, was annihilated in a single strike? “Too terrifying.” “This is too terrifying.” “Huawu Master was just extinguished like that.” Fear filled the eyes of some weaker Undying Gods. Luo Feng, on the other hand, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Duan Dong River was indeed formidable... This thunderous display should be enough to deter these guys. However, Duan Dong River was also incredibly ruthless, instantly annihilating and then whisking away the Supreme Treasures. “Previously, when we besieged this human Luo Feng, Lord Duan Dong River did not intervene. Huawu Master only died because the Undying Gods were affected,” the sinister God-Eye Clan man said coldly. “So, as long as we don’t affect the surrounding experts, we’ll be fine.” “Right, he didn’t stop us even after fighting for so long, nor did he punish us!” “Let’s act.” “Our three factions now have a great advantage. We absolutely cannot let Luo Feng ultimately obtain the inheritance. First, we’ll tie him down. As for our three sides... it’s up to each to prove their capabilities.” “I propose that all Undying Gods and Universe Venerables temporarily enter their Palace Supreme Treasures,” the sinister man said directly. “Since the rules are now known, they can familiarize themselves with the methods of the game and comprehend them within their Palace Supreme Treasures first, to prevent us from affecting them.” “Good.” “Agreed.” The God-Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, and East Emperor Holy Land—these three factions did not hesitate. Universe Masters from each side acted, temporarily collecting their respective Universe Venerables and Undying Gods into their Palace Supreme Treasures. Luo Feng, in his Horned Lizard form, stood there, gazing at the seven figures in the distance. “Huawu Master is dead! Do you wish to die too?” the Horned Lizard growled. “Huawu Master’s true body merely fell; he still has a clone!” A man from the East Emperor Holy Land Universe, his divine body wreathed in vines and green leaves, sneered, “Every one of us besieging you possesses the ability of clones. As long as we can destroy you and prevent you from inheriting... what does it matter if our true bodies perish?” “Indeed, as long as this human dies, it’s worth it even if we perish.” “I came here not intending to obtain the inheritance myself. As long as I can remove the obstacles preventing my race from getting it... my demise would be worth it.” Each of these seven Universe Masters was prepared to fall. Even if they truly perished, they would likely be willing... not to mention that the annihilation in the corridor only destroyed the true body; as long as they had clones, they could still survive. “Weak humans, stop dreaming... you won’t obtain this inheritance.” The seven figures simultaneously charged towards the Horned Lizard, having long prepared themselves... they would rather not comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor Game at all than fail to hold back and destroy this human!
