Chapter 1229
Gnashing Teeth
The Universe Master who stepped forward was named Huangke Master, a native of the East Emperor Holy Land. However, he possessed the ability to create clones, and from his previous observations of the Rhinoceros Emperor Game when communicating with other clan members, he realized his comprehension speed was noticeably slower. Thus, when this situation arose, he was willing to step forward to contribute to his clan. Seventh True Master, that Ice Cliff Fortress… Huangke Master stood to the side, waiting for Seventh True Master to produce the Supreme True Treasure. The dozens of Universe Masters present also watched this scene. “Haha, just hand it over directly? Do you think my God-Eye Clan is foolish?” Seventh True Master sneered, glancing at Huangke Master. “After all, this is a Supreme True Treasure. If you take it, and Duan Dong River cannot reclaim it, what if you refuse to return it? So, I have a suggestion… your East Emperor Holy Land should provide a Supreme True Treasure, or some peak Supreme Treasures, as collateral to me. Once we deal with that human Yinhe, we can exchange treasures.” “Hmph, if that Supreme True Treasure is taken by Duan Dong River, would you return it?” Huangke Master said coldly. “Those peak Supreme Treasures are of little use to me,” Seventh True Master replied via telepathy, his voice echoing in the minds of every powerful being. “A Supreme True Treasure that risks being seized by Duan Dong River, with numerous peak Supreme Treasures as collateral, is that not acceptable? Moreover, during this inheritance, we all face the danger of falling… especially us Universe Overlords, who, lacking clones, will be completely annihilated if killed. Do you still think I would try to embezzle it?” “How precious is my Ice Cliff Fortress? Whether you choose it or not, it’s up to you,” Seventh True Master sneered. “If there’s no sincerity, I’ll just demand a Supreme True Treasure from you directly.” The East Emperor Holy Land had over ten Universe Masters! And the quality of those chosen this time was clearly extremely high; they were absolute elites within the East Emperor Holy Land. Among the Universe Masters present, two actually possessed Supreme True Treasures! The Purple Moon Holy Land, including Deerworm Master, also had two Universe Masters with Supreme True Treasures. However, Seventh True Master’s Supreme True Treasure was at risk of being lost… naturally, the East Emperor Holy Land was unwilling to use a Supreme True Treasure as collateral. “Alright, let’s do it!” “We agree.” The God-Eye Clan and the East Emperor Holy Land quickly made the exchange. The God-Eye Clan picked and chose, ultimately selecting 8 peak-grade treasures, three of which could even rival the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor. This demonstrated the profound reserves of the East Emperor Holy Land. “This is the Ice Cliff Fortress,” Seventh True Master said, waving his hand. An ice mountain appeared in mid-air, with an exquisite fortress perched on its cliffside. This Ice Cliff Fortress was a work of art… the ice mountain was crystal clear, the fortress magnificent… emanating an endless chill. Huangke Master’s eyes burned with eagerness. He nodded slightly and immediately began attempting to bind it. … In the corridor, the Star Tower, resembling a ‘blood-colored tower,’ remained quietly still. Inside the control room. Luo Feng had been carefully observing the outside, but because the powerful beings outside were deliberately using telepathic divine power, Luo Feng didn’t know their intentions. However, when that group of powerful beings each took out their treasures, and especially when Seventh True Master produced the Ice Cliff Fortress… Luo Feng immediately figured it out. “Ice Cliff Fortress? Seventh True Master’s renowned Supreme True Treasure?” Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly, his pupils contracting. “It seems they want to use a sealing palace-type Supreme True Treasure to capture my Star Tower.” Supreme True Treasure against Supreme True Treasure. Which is stronger, which holds the advantage? Without a direct comparison… it’s hard to tell. “The Star Tower is immensely powerful. It remained in the Original Universe for so long, and no one could ever take it,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “But that was only in the Original Universe… the Star Tower has never competed against this Ice Cliff Fortress.” “If he can take it, I’m finished.” “If he can’t… I’ll be fine, but the Star Tower will be exposed. If even the Ice Cliff Fortress can’t take it, everyone will know… this blood-colored tower must be a Supreme True Treasure.” A flurry of thoughts raced through Luo Feng’s mind. “What to do? What to do? What to do?” Luo Feng frowned deeply, thinking urgently. Regardless of whether it could be taken or not, it was disadvantageous for him. Luo Feng’s gaze fell outside as he rapidly pondered. “Hmm?” Luo Feng’s eyes suddenly landed on the crystal pillars and stone pillars, and they immediately lit up. “Good, that’s what I’ll do.” … Just as Huangke Master was binding the Ice Cliff Fortress, the blood-colored tower, which had been quiet nearby, suddenly shot out, swiftly flying above a crystal pillar. The base of the blood-colored tower then recessed, and with a fierce motion, it covered the pillar, embedding it within. Furthermore, the blood-colored tower rapidly grew taller, and with a bang, it directly struck the ceiling of the corridor. Its base firmly embedded the crystal pillar, while its top pressed against the corridor wall. “Haha, do you think that will work?” Huangke Master, holding the Ice Cliff Fortress, laughed heartily. He then forcefully threw the Ice Cliff Fortress, igniting his divine power. Immediately, the entire Ice Cliff Fortress began to float, angling towards the blood-colored tower. Boom~~~~ The Ice Cliff Fortress instantly generated an incredibly powerful suction force, directly acting upon the Star Tower, causing the blood-colored tower to hum and shake. Although it seemed almost successful, it was clearly still lacking. “How can this be?” Huangke Master exclaimed in shock and anger, looking at Seventh True Master. “It’s impossible for it not to be sucked in, unless his is also a Supreme True Treasure,” Seventh True Master shook his head, frowning. “No.” The cold God-Eye Clan man frowned and suddenly spoke, “It’s not a Supreme True Treasure, but that human Yinhe suddenly moved his treasure and embedded it with that crystal pillar. Don’t forget… that crystal pillar was left behind by Duan Dong River, completely connected to the Tomb Mausoleum Boat. To capture this human’s sealing treasure… and suck it in, the crystal pillar would have to break.” “Ah, this, this…” “This has never happened.” “How could this be…” Everyone was dumbfounded. … Inside the Star Tower’s control room, Luo Feng smiled. The Star Tower was originally a sealing treasure, so its base could split open to form a huge void to engulf all things. Moreover, with the effect of the Blood Cloud Pearl, it could also change its appearance. Now that the Star Tower’s base was firmly clamped onto the crystal pillar, even if the Star Tower wasn’t a Supreme True Treasure… for the opponent to move the Star Tower, it would have to be separated from the crystal pillar. Or, the Star Tower’s base would have to shatter. Or the crystal pillar would have to shatter. Or it would have to be sucked in along with the crystal pillar. But clearly— These stone pillars, crystal pillars, and so on, left by Duan Dong River, were indestructible and immovable, incredibly stable. “Such a thing rarely happens,” Luo Feng murmured to himself. “When other powerful beings are subjected to suction, they usually can only resist by burning their divine power. If they hide inside a palace, they can only rely on the resistance capabilities of their own palace treasure.” “The reason this is so is because it’s rare to encounter objects that even Supreme True Treasures cannot shake.” “And such objects are very rare even in the three absolute lands.” This was indeed the case. In the three absolute lands, in many places like magma, strong winds, or lakes, there’s no object to cling to when subjected to suction. It’s like an ordinary person in a hurricane trying to hug a tree; only if the tree breaks or the person lets go can they be swept away. But for some super powerful beings, they are too strong; there’s nothing for them to cling to! Even in the three absolute lands, objects that even Universe Overlords cannot destroy or shake are very rare, like the Tomb Mausoleum Boat? The black-patterned stone pillars? These are extremely rare, and black-patterned stone pillars are even impossible to approach. As for the Tilted Peak Sector and Liu Zhong Mountain, most of them are natural environments, and some rocks and so on can be shattered with arbitrary attacks, so they cannot be embedded. So, immovable objects that powerful beings can ‘cling to’ are very rare. However— Luo Feng and his team were currently inside the Tomb Mausoleum Boat! Even the ordinary ground of the Tomb Mausoleum Boat could withstand the attacks of Universe Overlords! Those stone pillars and crystal pillars were personally left by Duan Dong River for inheritance trials, making them even more indestructible. … This kind of situation was almost impossible to encounter, but by chance, it was happening inside the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, and by chance, there was a powerful being using a sealing palace Supreme True Treasure to suck. Thus, this situation occurred. The powerful beings present were not fools. At first, they couldn’t believe it, but they quickly understood the mystery. “Damn it.” “Lucky fellow.” “Although a Supreme True Treasure is powerful, its suction force alone cannot break that crystal pillar. Nor can it shatter a peak-grade treasure. It seems there’s truly no other way.” “Ah, that crystal pillar that human Yinhe is clinging to is precisely the crystal pillar he uses! Even if he hides inside it forever, he can still practice the Rhinoceros Emperor Game within the pillar at any time!” The numerous powerful beings immediately saw through the mystery, each gnashing their teeth, filled with immense anger, but what could they do? “Sigh!” “There’s no way to solve him once and for all.” “Huangke Master, return the Ice Cliff Fortress to me,” Seventh True Master said. Huangke Master hesitated slightly, exchanged glances with the other powerful beings, and finally exchanged treasures with Seventh True Master, taking back the treasures from the East Emperor Holy Land. The situation reaching this point infuriated all three major forces. “There’s no other way, only the one stupid method.” “Attack it!” “Material attacks, soul attacks! Attack it again and again… this is just a peak palace treasure; perhaps its resistance to material attacks is good, but it certainly won’t resist soul attacks. If his soul is attacked, I refuse to believe he can calmly comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor Game! We might even be able to kill him spiritually.” “Good.” “Attack together.” Immediately, the seven Universe Masters attacked Luo Feng again, but Luo Feng, hiding inside the Star Tower, was like a stationary target, letting them attack. “Ah.” “Soul attacks cannot penetrate at all. His palace treasure is very special; it must be made of special material. Ethereal divine power cannot penetrate it, and it can block all soul attacks.” The seven Universe Masters quickly discovered this. Some materials indeed impede ethereal divine power. For example, Tribulation Armor… can weaken all soul attacks to one-tenth. Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor… can weaken all soul attacks to one-hundredth. The Tomb Mausoleum Boat, for instance, completely blocks soul attacks. The Star Tower is a Supreme True Treasure. If kept inside the body, it can guard the soul. If placed outside, with oneself hiding inside, the Star Tower can easily block all soul attacks. As for material attacks? There is some impact force transmitted through, as no Supreme True Treasure can block 100% of impact force… but under the protection of a Supreme True Treasure, material attacks cannot break through the treasure, so the impact force is negligible. “This treasure can actually block soul attacks!” “What a peak-grade treasure, second only to a Supreme True Treasure!” “Damn it!” “Then use material attacks!” “It’s just a peak-grade treasure. Under the shock and vibration, I refuse to believe he can calmly comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor Game.” The seven Universe Masters, exasperated and with no other options, could only furiously attack the Star Tower again and again with their treasures, like blacksmiths hammering iron, fiercely chopping and pounding the Star Tower, causing it to vibrate repeatedly. Of course, the vibration was a pretense. The several vibrations it experienced earlier when being sucked were all feigned. For the Supreme True Treasure Star Tower, these attacks weren’t even enough to tickle it.
