Ice Cliff Fortress

Within the life-and-death corridor of the Tomb Mausoleum, towering figures stood—some plant lifeforms, some flesh-and-blood, some rock-based—each with distinct appearances and varying armor and robes. Among them, the God-Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, and East Emperor Holy Land represented the three most powerful factions, each boasting over ten Universe Masters.

There were also a few scattered Universe Masters who had arrived early due to their proximity to the Flame Ice Region. Though powerful, they dared not interfere with the three major factions' pursuit of the human Luo Feng.

“Poor human.”

“Unlucky fellow.”

“That human Yinhe comprehended the Rhinoceros Emperor Game a bit too quickly, and Duan Dong River immediately exposed him. If we also comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor Game quickly, will we be exposed too? Will we be besieged?”

“Even if we can solve it, we should hide our strength for now and not demonstrate it in the Crystal Pillar. We'll wait until more powerhouses gather here, then it won't be too late to demonstrate. By then, our clan's powerhouses will also be more numerous.”

“Hmm.”

Though they witnessed Luo Feng being besieged, they felt no pity. Deep down, they too yearned for the inheritance, and eliminating Luo Feng, the most promising candidate, was a favorable outcome.

“You despicable scoundrels!” As the unicorn lizard's sharp claws collided with the massive grinding disc, its tail lashed out, transforming into a dazzling arc, like the trajectory of a battle blade, cutting towards a one-eyed special lifeform belonging to the God-Eye Clan.

Although Luo Feng was currently being besieged by forces from the three major factions, not all of them were native members of those factions. For instance, the Mist Master, who was previously killed after Duan Dong River activated the secret techniques within the Crystal Pillars, was also a special lifeform.

Some powerful factions have vassals.

For example, the Primal Universe Humans formed the Hong Alliance, which includes some vassal Universe Masters. If the Primal Universe were to be destroyed in the future, Luo Feng's human race would naturally enter a Miniature Universe, where smaller spaces would be allocated to some vassal forces. At the very least, those Universe Masters would be able to continue surviving. These Universe Masters naturally hold a slightly lower status than native members, and they are often the ones sent into dangerous situations! In this current assault on Luo Feng, more than half of the attackers are vassals of the three major factions who possess the ability to create avatars.

Despite being vassals, their strength was undeniable.

“Yinhe, you're quite resilient. Your armor is impressive… after losing those silver wings, you managed to acquire another fine piece of armor. But what good is your struggle? Fighting us with all your might, even if you don't die, how much focus will you have left for the Rhinoceros Emperor Game?”

“Give up, retreat now.”

The seven Universe Masters besieging Luo Feng held an overwhelming advantage. Luo Feng's divine power was relatively weaker, and even though his secret techniques were excellent, he was only barely comparable to the weakest among the seven Universe Masters. Once besieged, he could only be ravaged. He was only able to endure by relying on the incredibly strong defense provided by the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor, which expanded to form a beast god.

“No, this won't do.” Luo Feng, inside the unicorn lizard, which was engaged in lightning-fast combat, felt anxious. “This can't continue. I need to constantly maintain the beast god form, and it consumes too much divine power. Over time… my divine body will be greatly depleted, and divine power replenishment is slow in the Universe Ocean. Moreover, even if I wasn't worried about divine power consumption, if I keep fighting like this… my efficiency in studying the Rhinoceros Emperor Game will drastically decrease.”

“I can't afford to care anymore.”

Luo Feng gritted his teeth.

Because there were many Universe Masters present, and even two Universe Overlords among them, he had been reluctant to reveal the Star Tower. But pushed to this point, there was no other option. Comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor Game was his top priority.

…

The besieged unicorn lizard fled in disarray, subjected to the wanton attacks of the seven Universe Masters.

Suddenly, with a “boom!”, a blood-colored tower emerged from within the unicorn lizard. The unicorn lizard quickly disintegrated and entered the blood-colored tower, which now sat motionless on the corridor floor.

“A Palace Supreme Treasure!”

“He's hiding in a Palace Supreme Treasure, does he really think we have no way to deal with him?”

“Foolish fellow, hiding in a Palace Supreme Treasure is truly courting death.”

The seven Universe Masters stood around the blood-colored tower, looking at the blood-colored tower in their midst, exchanging glances and smiling.

“Who will make the move?”

“Who is willing to act?”

“This opportunity, you do it.”

“No, Wind Beast Master, you should do it. Your sealing supreme treasure is a top-tier item among peak supreme treasures, and you have a better chance of sealing him.”

Luo Feng, inside the Star Tower, naturally heard the conversation outside clearly.

In the control room of the Star Tower, Luo Feng dared not relax in the slightest. He carefully observed and listened to the outside world. Seeing the Universe Masters discussing among themselves, Luo Feng couldn't help but sneer, “Are you kidding? Seal me? You want to seal me? Even the best of peak Palace Supreme Treasures… has absolutely no chance of sealing an ultimate supreme treasure that specializes in sealing.”

Outside.

Wind Beast Master grinned broadly. “Alright, I'll handle it. With my treasure… unless his palace is also a peak-tier item that can escape my sealing, he won't get away. Once sealed—” He stopped there, fearing an attack from Duan Dong River.

Once sealed, Luo Feng would have no chance to even touch the Crystal Pillar, let alone receive the inheritance.

Previously, two immortal candidates were accidentally killed, leading to the death of Mist Master. Wind Beast Master was also worried that if he sealed Luo Feng, and Luo Feng had no chance to receive the inheritance, he too might be killed. If he were killed after sealing Luo Feng, so be it, but if he said too much before sealing and provoked Duan Dong River to kill him, that would be truly unjust.

“Human!” Wind Beast Master held out his hand, and a dazzling three-colored tower pillar immediately floated up. He sneered as he looked at the blood-colored Star Tower.

“Seal!”

Wind Beast Master burned his divine power to activate his supreme treasure. The three-colored tower pillar flew over, directly above the blood-colored Star Tower. A void appeared beneath the tower pillar… and an invisible, powerful suction force acted directly on the Star Tower, frantically trying to pull it in.

“Rumble~~~” The powerful force acted on the Star Tower, causing it to subtly tremble.

Seeing the Star Tower tremble but not lift from the ground, Wind Beast Master gritted his teeth and roared, “Seal!”

“Just a little more.”

“Wind Beast Master, your sealing supreme treasure's suction power isn't enough.”

“Put more effort into it, go all out.” The six surrounding Universe Masters urged anxiously.

Wind Beast Master turned his head in annoyance and shouted, “I've been using my full power from the start! What more can I do if it's just a little short? This human's supreme treasure is also a peak-tier item, it can actually resist. Does anyone else have something better to try?”

“I will.” A cold man with a one-eyed phantom behind him spoke.

…

Luo Feng leisurely watched the outside. Are they kidding? To make the Star Tower unable to break free and be sucked in, the opponent would need an ultimate supreme treasure! Otherwise, how could a peak supreme treasure, even a sealing one, seal his Star Tower?

The sealing failed.

Those Universe Masters would probably only think his blood-colored tower was a peak-tier item; few would dare to imagine it was an ‘ultimate supreme treasure.’

Watching the Universe Masters fail one after another, Luo Feng dared not be careless. These guys probably had other methods besides sealing.

…

The dozens of powerhouses from the God-Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, and East Emperor Holy Land gathered here were growing anxious. After the seven Universe Masters who initially besieged Luo Feng failed, they even borrowed supreme treasures from other powerhouses… but none succeeded.

“This human is full of good treasures. His armor is a treasure, and this tower supreme treasure… is probably also a rare peak-tier item. To suck it in, an ultimate supreme treasure would likely be needed.”

“Indeed.”

“Right.”

“It seems that to act, we can only rely on Universe Overlords.”

“Yes, only Universe Overlords probably have the means.”

“God-Eye Clan, among our three factions, only your God-Eye Clan has Universe Overlords here.”

“It's up to your God-Eye Clan now.”

Everyone frowned deeply, even Deer Worm Master, Shadow Dust Master, and Witch Demon Master noticed all this.

“Two True Masters, we are all helpless. Perhaps only a True Master can deal with Luo Feng,” Shadow Dust Master transmitted. Among the many powerhouses present, there were indeed Universe Overlords—the God-Eye Clan's Second True Master and Seventh True Master.

The God-Eye Clan's expedition this time included not only Universe Masters and Universe Venerables but also the Second True Master and Seventh True Master, who came for adventure.

However, after their arrival, they had remained silent and diligently focused on comprehension, not interfering in this matter at all. Now that the Universe Masters of the three major factions were helpless, the only hope lay with these two True Masters.

“Shadow Dust, Witch Demon, we just arrived here, and Duan Dong River already gave us instructions, forbidding us from attacking other candidates. If either of us acts, we will surely die,” the Second True Master transmitted, explaining.

“Ah!” Shadow Dust and Witch Demon were greatly alarmed.

At the same time, the Second True Master also transmitted to the Universe Masters of the three major factions, informing them of the situation.

“So what do we do now? Just watch Luo Feng get the inheritance?” Deer Worm Master transmitted. The East Emperor Holy Land and Purple Moon Holy Land were also pressuring and urging them.

The Second True Master and Seventh True Master exchanged glances, their eyes meeting, and quickly made a decision.

“I have the ultimate supreme treasure, the ‘Ice Cliff Fortress,’ and it possesses sealing capabilities,” the Seventh True Master gritted his teeth and transmitted. “However, this ultimate supreme treasure requires a very strong will to be recognized as its master. For a Universe Master… it would require the will of a Universe Overlord. Among your two Holy Lands, Universe Masters live incredibly long lives, so there might be some whose will has reached the level of a Universe Overlord. You can nominate one to temporarily become the master of this ultimate supreme treasure, and let him seal Luo Feng.”

“Then who will act?” Purple Moon Holy Land and East Emperor Holy Land hesitated slightly.

Because the one who acted would very likely perish.

“Hmph, our God-Eye Clan is offering an ultimate supreme treasure, do you still expect us to send our own powerhouse?” the Seventh True Master transmitted angrily. He was pushed to his limit, otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to offer an ultimate supreme treasure. He was also prepared… that once Luo Feng was sealed, he would immediately reclaim the ultimate supreme treasure to prevent Duan Dong River from taking it.

“Alright, our East Emperor Holy Land will provide one.”

Soon, a Universe Master stepped forward.

“Very good,” the Seventh True Master transmitted. “With an ultimate supreme treasure acting, unless this human Yinhe also has an ultimate supreme treasure… he will surely not escape!”
