Chapter 1262

The Final Distribution of Supreme Treasures

In the Universe Ocean.

Deep within the endless chaotic currents, a Tomb Mausoleum Boat hovered. From another direction, a blood-red pagoda appeared out of thin air. The blood-red pagoda transformed into a stream of crimson light... flying towards the Tomb Mausoleum Boat. As it drew near, it vanished into thin air.

The Golden Horn Behemoth's avatar.

Inside the grand hall.

Luo Feng, with the stone blade on his back, glanced at the Golden Horn Behemoth that had appeared before him. They exchanged gazes, both filled with determination.

“War!” Luo Feng murmured.

When the Giant Axe Founder fell, Luo Feng knew clearly... that the coming period would be the most crucial for humanity. All the Universe Masters scattered across the Universe Ocean and Original Stars were rushing back. Naturally, the Golden Horn Behemoth's avatar, which had previously been sent deep into the Universe Boat to retrieve Jie Fan Zi's relics, also needed to be recalled immediately.

After all, the Golden Horn Behemoth's avatar carried the 'Wu Qi Wings' and the 'Star Tower,' which were equivalent to two supreme treasures! This was a super combat force... and in a battle deciding the fate of the race, such a super combat force was indispensable.

“If war comes!”

“I, my true body, and the Golden Horn Behemoth's avatar, can fight simultaneously,” Luo Feng said silently.

His true body, wielding the strongest Blood Shadow Blade, was suited for breaking through defenses! He would even dare to go head-to-head with a Universe Supreme Master.

The Golden Horn Behemoth's avatar, with the Wu Qi Wings, had an excellent will-shock effect from the 'divine bloodstains' on the wings, especially against ordinary Universe Masters, it was practically a sweep! With the 'Star Tower' for defense... it could fight against hundreds or even thousands...

Two distinct combat styles.

“Bring it on.”

Luo Feng said silently.

He was already prepared. Perhaps in the Universe Ocean, facing a Universe Supreme Master would put him at a disadvantage due to his divine power. However, in the 'Original Universe,' there was an energy limit; 'peak Sixth Tier' was already the maximum. Every Universe Supreme Master could only exert that level of combat power before being suppressed by the Original Universe.

The powerful suppression allowed Luo Feng, even with the Blood Shadow Blade, to dare to fight.

It was just a pity...

He could only fight, unable to pin down the opponent, as the initiative lay with them.

...

After reuniting with the Golden Horn Behemoth's avatar, he quickly returned to the Original Universe aboard the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, heading to the Initial Universe.

The round trip took a total of 18 days.

...

Initial Universe, Chaos City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

“Teacher,” Luo Feng greeted the Chaos City Lord's more ferocious avatar.

“You're back,” Chaos City Lord nodded.

“Have the other races made any moves recently? Have they discovered the news of the Giant Axe Founder's fall?” Luo Feng pressed.

“No movement yet,” Chaos City Lord nodded. “It might be because too little time has passed. Our race's internal secrecy is excellent. Although there have been large-scale Immortal God deployments, to the lower ranks, it would just seem like chaos! And observing the Giant Axe's mini-universe in the Universe Ocean also depends on luck.”

“Mm,” Luo Feng nodded.

With good luck, perhaps for decades or centuries, no one would pass by the Giant Axe's mini-universe.

With bad luck, perhaps on that very day, some Universe Master might pass through the Original Universe's membrane and discover the mini-universe.

“It's best if it's not discovered, and the longer, the better,” Chaos City Lord said with a rare smile. “If another Universe Supreme Master could be born, that would be truly good. Your safe return with the two supreme treasures is already a tremendous contribution.”

Luo Feng nodded, then couldn't help but say, “Teacher, the distribution of those two supreme treasures...”

“Let's go, we'll discuss it in the Virtual Universe,” Chaos City Lord said.

“Oh,” Luo Feng replied helplessly.

He had tried to persuade his teacher before...

But it seemed his teacher had already made up his mind, intending to give the two supreme treasures to the Dark Master and Peng Gong Master respectively. Luo Feng disagreed with this, because these supreme treasures were acquired by Luo Feng, so his thoughts naturally needed to be considered. Therefore, the master and disciple had agreed to discuss it thoroughly with Peng Gong Master and Dark Master before making a decision.

...

In the Virtual Universe, still before the long stone table in front of the Giant Axe Shrine.

Four figures were seated.

They were Chaos City Lord, Dark Master, Peng Gong Master, and Luo Feng! These four were currently the strongest in the entire human race, and also its four pillars.

“The two supreme treasures have been brought back,” Chaos City Lord smiled. “They are the Black Prison Tower and the Yan Jun Staff! The characteristics of the Black Prison Tower... Junior Brother, Peng Gong, you both know them. I think it's very suitable for you, Junior Brother.”

“Me?” Dark Master was startled.

No matter how reclusive and indifferent he was, his heart couldn't help but tremble, for these were supreme treasures.

“Senior Brother,” Dark Master spoke.

“No need to refuse,” Chaos City Lord nodded. “Your strength is comparable to mine. In a direct confrontation, you might be slightly weaker, but... the Black Prison Tower's assistance to me is primarily defensive. For you, you will utilize its offensive capabilities extremely well, and it can unleash greater power in your hands.”

“And Peng Gong, among us, only you are most skilled in staff-type attacks with the Yan Jun Staff,” Chaos City Lord said. “You don't need to decline this.”

Peng Gong Master hesitated slightly.

Indeed.

Among the strongest in the human race, he was the only one skilled in staff techniques. At such a critical moment for the human race, he wouldn't refuse too much... But if it were like this, wouldn't he and Dark Master each get one? What about Chaos City Lord? For countless years, Chaos City Lord had been publicly recognized as second only to Giant Axe, the most hopeful to become a Universe Supreme Master.

“Then Chaos City Lord, you...” Peng Gong began.

“Teacher...” Luo Feng also hesitated, unsure how to persuade him. If persuasion were possible, he had already tried enough during their last private meeting.

“This is not only my decision, but also the decision of Ancestor Master,” Chaos City Lord finally spoke.

“Ancestor's decision?” Luo Feng, Peng Gong, and Dark Master were all greatly astonished.

Suddenly, a white-robed man appeared on the stone chair that had long been empty at the long stone table, causing Luo Feng and the others to turn and respectfully call out, “Ancestor (Teacher).”

Seeing this white-robed man, Luo Feng's recent sense of tension and pressure eased slightly.

The human race... still had Ancestor!

Even though Ancestor was permanently suppressed, he had still given humanity the 'Initial Universe' as a retreat.

“Your strengths are all quite good,” Ancestor said, looking at the four of them. “If given time, coupled with the systematic guidance Luo Feng received from the ancient civilization, all four of you have the potential to become Universe Supreme Masters... Unfortunately, what humanity lacks most now is time. If we were merely to contend with any single force, with your strengths and supreme treasures, you would have nothing to fear!”

“However.”

“Luo Feng obtained the Duan Dong River lineage's inheritance, which is equivalent to humanity obtaining it! The fall of Giant Axe this time...” A trace of sorrow flashed in Ancestor's eyes. “Among the Universe Supreme Masters in the Original Universe, there are probably very few who aren't tempted. Our human race will face overt or covert attacks from almost all forces in the entire Original Universe.”

“Don't fear anything else.”

“Your strength, even against a Universe Supreme Master, under the Original Universe's restrictions on Universe Supreme Masters, has nothing to fear,” Ancestor said. “What I fear is that you might be sealed!”

“Sealed!”

Luo Feng and the others all changed their expressions.

Indeed.

Even with other treasures, or even supreme treasures, they could still be sealed! Once sealed, if carried into a mini-universe, they would naturally be at the mercy of their captors.

And the strongest defenses against sealing were—the Star Tower and the Black Prison Tower!

When supreme treasure palaces confront each other with sealing, it comes down to which one is stronger.

“If two or three Universe Supreme Masters join forces, first, they can trap you, preventing your escape. Second, they can directly suppress and seal you,” Ancestor sighed, shaking his head. “Once sealed, it will be too late, so you must be vigilant about this... It's easy to seal you, but it's difficult for you to seal a Universe Supreme Master.”

Luo Feng and the others all nodded.

Indeed.

Even if spatial fluctuations locked them, preventing teleportation, a Universe Supreme Master's speed could rapidly exceed the speed limited by the laws! They completely controlled the initiative in battle; they could leave when they wished, and fight when they wished.

“However, our human race also has its advantages,” Ancestor said solemnly. “This time, we obtained the Black Prison Tower, and Luo Feng also has the Tomb Mausoleum Boat; both can be put to good use... In this war, at first, it's better to retreat, but once you strike, be ruthless! Make those foreign races feel pain, fear, and hesitation, and that will be effective. At least it will scare away those foreign races who don't have much strength but come seeking benefits.”

Chaos City Lord, Dark Master, Peng Gong Master, and Luo Feng all nodded.

Indeed.

The Original Universe's nine great super forces! And numerous top-tier forces, like the Thorn Ring Alliance and so on... The fear was that at that time, many secondary forces would also think the human race was easy to bully and come to besiege them, which would be terrifying.

“For this distribution of supreme treasures,” Ancestor said, “Dark Master will take the Black Prison Tower, and Peng Gong Master will take the Yan Jun Staff! As for Chaos City Lord... he will guard the Original Secret Realm, not easily making a move. If he does make a move, it will mean our human race is facing its final desperate situation.”

Luo Feng, Dark Master, and Peng Gong Master hesitated slightly.

Finally, they all nodded.

They all understood Ancestor's meaning. Clearly, the three of them would be responsible for going out to battle, while Chaos City Lord would guard the final Original Secret Realm!

...

Time flowed on.

The human race remained cautious and vigilant. However, it seemed that the matter of the Giant Axe Founder's fall had not yet been discovered by the various races in the Original Universe or the major forces in the Universe Ocean.

...

In the Universe Ocean, within the East Emperor Holy Land Universe.

The vast East Emperor Holy Land Universe was very remote. The dilapidated universe Luo Feng had chosen for the transaction before was relatively close to the 'Original Universe,' but it was much too far from the East Emperor Holy Land. Even though Bei Zhen Star Master's teleportation range was much greater, it still took a full month and a half after Luo Feng returned to the Original Universe for him to return to the East Emperor Holy Land.

Inside Bei Zhen Star Master's palace.

“Whoosh!”

Bei Zhen Star Master stood within the palace, while a figure floated in mid-air in the grand hall. It was precisely the East Emperor Ancestor, whose entire body glowed with green light, who had appeared out of thin air earlier.

“Ancestor,” Bei Zhen Star Master respectfully saluted. “The Memory Stone is in hand.”

“Give it to me,” East Emperor Ancestor looked down at Bei Zhen Star Master, a trace of longing in his eyes.

“Yes.”

Bei Zhen Star Master flipped his hand, and a black pebble appeared—it was the Memory Stone. East Emperor Ancestor waved his hand, and the Memory Stone flew before him. East Emperor Ancestor looked at the Memory Stone in his palm, his gaze changing... He yearned for it too much... Immediately, a ray of light extended from East Emperor Ancestor's palm, directly enveloping the Memory Stone. Instantly, a massive amount of information from the Memory Stone surged into East Emperor Ancestor's mind.
