Supreme True Treasure? Ridiculous!

“A request?” In Ice Cliff Fortress, the powerhouses of the God-Eye Clan were so enraged they wanted to devour the flesh, drink the blood, and gnaw the bones of Duan Dong River’s friend! Such hatred! ...In the God-Eye Clan’s First Minor Universe, one of their seven minor universes, the Seven Great True Masters gathered, constantly monitoring the progress of this ‘Duan Dong River lineage’ inheritance. They were envious of Luo Feng and Blood Venerable’s brilliance, unwilling to accept their own clan’s lack of suitable candidates, and also relieved that Master Wu Liang had broken through the second bottleneck at the last moment. Just as their hearts trembled with excitement over this opportunity to transcend reincarnation, Duan Dong River suddenly declared, “All members of the God-Eye Clan lineage are unqualified, and all shall die!” This instantly stunned the Seven Great True Masters. A thunderbolt from the blue! Despair! All Seven Great True Masters were overwhelmed with despair and fury. Why sever the God-Eye Clan’s chance to transcend reincarnation? Why? Why is this so unfair? Why? Now they knew it was all due to a request from one of Duan Dong River’s friends. This very request caused their God-Eye Clan to lose its opportunity, and even led to the demise of many elites, including two Universe Supreme Masters! “Who!” “Who exactly is it!” “Who is this friend of Duan Dong River’s!!!” The First True Master roared in fury. For a moment, the entire First Minor Universe’s heavens and earth changed color, subtly trembling. “Who cut off our opportunity!” “Who is it!” The other True Masters were also filled with immense pain and rage. ...Inside Ice Cliff Fortress, the 28 candidates of the God-Eye Clan lineage felt boundless despair, rage, frustration, and unwillingness. “Lord Duan Dong River!” The Second True Master’s voice rang out, still rational despite his anger. “For this inheritance, our God-Eye Clan followed your demands, resisted the monster Kui Luo, and solved the Rhinoceros Emperor Game, without a single act of sabotage. Yet now, merely because of someone’s request, you intend to annihilate our entire God-Eye Clan lineage?” Duan Dong River looked down at Ice Cliff Fortress, his voice cold. “Annihilating you all is merely a trivial matter, done in passing.” “Is there truly no room for negotiation?” The Second True Master pressed, unwilling to give up. “Ridiculous,” Duan Dong River scoffed. Hearing that scoff, the Second True Master finally despaired and roared, “Duan Dong River, you old geezer who’s been dead for countless reincarnation eras, you want to annihilate my God-Eye Clan lineage? It won’t be that easy! I’d like to see... how capable a dead man like you truly is!” The Seventh True Master’s voice also sounded. “Duan Dong River, who is your friend? Who wants to annihilate my God-Eye Clan lineage?” “Who is it!” “Who exactly is it!” Several more angry voices rang out. They desperately wanted to know which bastard had plunged their God-Eye Clan into such a desperate situation. “Don’t rush.” Duan Dong River looked down. “You will know.” Then, he pointed into the distance... Whoosh! One side of the Grand Hall’s wall suddenly split open, revealing a passage. The powerhouses from other major forces in the Universe Ocean all looked over, eager to know which being could have driven the God-Eye Clan into such a predicament. “Hmm?” Luo Feng also watched the passage, vaguely seeing a blurry figure slowly emerge. It had golden scales, stood upright in a humanoid form, and had a pair of golden wings on its back. Nine pairs of eyes swept over... yet no one dared to meet its gaze directly. “It’s him?” Luo Feng was surprised to see the emerging powerhouse. “Lei Yi Demon God?” Lei Yi Demon God, a lone Universe Supreme Master from the Second Reincarnation Era, was considered ordinary among Universe Supreme Masters because he possessed no Supreme True Treasure. His renowned treasure, ‘Lei Yi,’ was merely an item similar to the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor. He was an extremely low-key figure in the Universe Ocean. “Lei Yi?” “It’s him?” “Duan Dong River’s friend, Lei Yi Demon God?” Not only Luo Feng, but also forces like the East Emperor Holy Land, Purple Moon Holy Land, and various factions from the three Reincarnation Eras were utterly astonished. This extremely low-key Lei Yi Demon God, about whom almost no news circulated, had actually become involved in this matter. “Lei Yi? Was it you who made Duan Dong River sever the God-Eye Clan’s opportunity and even seek to annihilate our lineage?” The Second True Master still couldn’t believe it. “Lei Yi? Is that you?” The Seventh True Master also found it hard to believe. Lei Yi Demon God walked out from the passage, his expression at times ferocious, at times silently laughing, appearing somewhat out of control. After a moment of silent, head-thrown-back laughter, he gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling slightly, and said, “Yes, it’s me, it’s Lei Yi, it’s I, Lei Yi Demon God, who orchestrated all of this from behind the scenes!” “It was I who severed your God-Eye Clan lineage’s opportunity, it was I who wanted to destroy you! Second True Master, Seventh True Master... haha, over ten Universe Masters... haha...” Lei Yi Demon God’s voice trembled. “Damn you!” The Seventh True Master roared. “Lei Yi Demon God, you deserve to die!” The Second True Master also roared. Ice Cliff Fortress, beneath the Grand Hall, continuously emitted sounds. Lei Yi Demon God stood there, sneering as he looked at Ice Cliff Fortress. “Deserve to die? Do I deserve to die? It’s *you* who deserve to die! All of you God-Eye Clan members deserve to die!” “Damn God-Eye Clan!” “When you, in your greed for a Supreme True Treasure, had your Seven Great True Masters gang up on Kong Luo and me, you were truly ruthless. Kong Luo died... and I fled in disarray...” Lei Yi Demon God gritted his teeth. “Kong Luo and I were indeed easy targets, not strong enough, neither of us had a Supreme True Treasure... Yes, very easy to bully...” “Your God-Eye Clan is powerful, the only force in the entire Universe Ocean comparable to the two Holy Land Universes. How could I, a mere individual without even a Supreme True Treasure, contend with you? In front of your God-Eye Clan, I was weak and isolated, what was I even worth?” Lei Yi shook his head, laughing, a mad laugh. “Didn’t expect this, did you!” “This time, you fell into my hands!” Lei Yi Demon God stared at Ice Cliff Fortress, his eyes seemingly burning with flames. “Who would have thought that I, the weak and isolated Lei Yi Demon God, could make your God-Eye Clan suffer such a tremendous loss?” “Why would Duan Dong River listen to you!” A hoarse voice came from within Ice Cliff Fortress. “Because... I was the first one to enter this Tomb Mausoleum Boat!!!” Lei Yi Demon God sneered. ...A profound silence. Luo Feng and all the other factions were shocked. It turned out that they weren’t the first to enter the Tomb Mausoleum Boat; it was this Lei Yi Demon God? But now it seemed plausible. They, a group of powerhouses, had only just arrived at this Grand Hall, while Lei Yi Demon God had been here much earlier and had even become friends with Duan Dong River. Lei Yi Demon God laughed heartily. “Did you think the Tomb Mausoleum Boat would be here? The Tomb Mausoleum Boat actually appeared in the core region of the Universe Boat, a place even Universe Supreme Masters dare not trespass recklessly, only venturing into familiar areas. When the Tomb Mausoleum Boat appeared, none of you knew... If I weren’t a Universe Supreme Master, I wouldn’t have been able to accept the inheritance in the end. So how could it have been your turn? That’s why I made a deal with Duan Dong River.” “Truth be told...” “All of you should be grateful to me.” Lei Yi Demon God’s gaze swept over, landing on Luo Feng. “Especially you, Human Yinhe, you should be even more grateful to me.” Luo Feng smiled faintly. Lei Yi Demon God also laughed heartily. “I also have to thank you, thank you for performing the best, for being the one with the highest potential. And for not letting the God-Eye Clan seize this top position.” ...Ice Cliff Fortress fell silent. They truly hadn’t expected that a weak, utterly unthreatening Lei Yi Demon God, who didn’t even possess a Supreme True Treasure, could make the God-Eye Clan suffer such a massive loss! Normally, even those at the level of Master Wu Hun, Master Ying Ai, or Master Wu Liang would dare to clash head-on with Lei Yi Demon God, at most being at a disadvantage. But at this moment, they also understood that the situation was truly dire. Lei Yi Demon God said softly, “I gave your God-Eye Clan the opportunity to enter.” “I let you be ecstatic about it!” “And then...” “At your most excited moment, I plunged you into despair!” Lei Yi Demon God sneered. “If any of your God-Eye Clan members could have ranked first in solving the Rhinoceros Emperor Game, then I would have had a headache. After all, Duan Dong River would absolutely not let me kill the most potential candidate. But your God-Eye Clan was useless... so you are destined to all perish!” “Aren’t you afraid that someone from our God-Eye Clan might have immense potential and rank first? Wouldn’t that mean you, intending to harm my God-Eye Clan, would instead have helped us?” The Second True Master sneered from within Ice Cliff Fortress. “Haha...” “Firstly, I didn’t believe that among the three Reincarnation Eras and two Holy Land Universes, your God-Eye Clan would actually rank first,” Lei Yi Demon God scoffed. “Secondly, I was prepared. If your God-Eye Clan truly got lucky and produced such a powerhouse with infinite potential... I would rather perish myself than not drag him down with me!” Lei Yi Demon God turned to look at Duan Dong River above, bowing slightly. “Lord Duan Dong River, please forgive my disrespect.” “I understand,” Duan Dong River nodded slightly. “Lord Duan Dong River, I’ve held this grudge in my heart for too long, and finally, I’ve spoken it.” Lei Yi Demon God smiled, a relaxed smile. “Lord Duan Dong River, you can proceed against them now.” “Good,” Duan Dong River nodded. Proceed? The 28 powerhouses of the God-Eye Clan lineage inside Ice Cliff Fortress immediately grew tense. “Lei Yi, you want to annihilate us? I’d like to see if this old geezer, who’s been dead for countless reincarnation eras, truly has the ability to annihilate us!” The Second True Master roared. “You’ll find out soon enough.” Lei Yi Demon God’s gaze held a hint of pity as he sneered. “Moreover, once you perish, your Supreme True Treasures will all become mine.” “Come on, come on, let me see how strong this dead man can truly be!” Both the Second True Master and the Seventh True Master roared. Boom! Ice Cliff Fortress suddenly transformed into a stream of light, carrying boundless power, and actually smashed directly towards Lei Yi Demon God. “Freeze!” Duan Dong River, however, looked down and pointed into the distance. Whoosh~~~~~ The walls and floor of the entire Grand Hall immediately began to glow with countless golden secret patterns. Countless golden threads condensed in mid-air, surging madly towards Ice Cliff Fortress, wrapping it layer by layer like silkworm threads, heavily binding and restraining it. “Boom!” Ice Cliff Fortress struggled wildly, causing the surrounding void to tremble. But the countless golden threads frantically wrapped and bound it, making it impossible for Ice Cliff Fortress to break free. “It can only bind, not annihilate,” a voice came from within Ice Cliff Fortress. “A Supreme True Treasure is a Supreme True Treasure after all!” “Truly ridiculous.” Duan Dong River looked down, gently pointing at the ground. The ground immediately split open, revealing a deep, dark abyss. Faint wisps of terrifying aura emanated from within the abyss. Ice Cliff Fortress, still bound by countless golden threads, was forcibly dragged towards the entrance of that ground abyss. “Although the secret techniques left in this Grand Hall cannot annihilate you, the other dangerous places I set up for the inheritance can indeed destroy you.” “Supreme True Treasure? Ridiculous!” “In my homeland... there’s no such concept as a Supreme True Treasure,” Duan Dong River shook his head and scoffed. Whoosh! Ice Cliff Fortress struggled frantically, accompanied by the roars of the Second True Master and Seventh True Master from within. Yet, it was still directly dragged by countless golden threads and plummeted with a crash into the terrifying abyss. Immediately after, *snap*! The split ground instantly closed, and everything returned to tranquility.
