The Solitary Supremes

Four figures sat in the quiet side hall. Just then, Luo Feng, with the stone blade on his back, walked in. His gaze swept across the room, noting the companions for this mission: Ice Peak Master, Dragon Walk Master, Desolate Mirror Master, and Ghost Marquis Master. While Ghost Marquis Master was slightly weaker in strength, the other three were extraordinary, all ancient beings.

Ice Peak Master and Dragon Walk Master had once received guidance from the Original Ancestor. Desolate Mirror Master, however, was even more remarkable, being a founder of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance!

“Luo Feng.”

“Luo Feng.”

“Yinhe.”

“Luo Feng.” All four looked over, speaking simultaneously.

Desolate Mirror Master stated solemnly, “For this battle, I will leave one avatar behind, but all three of my other avatars will join you in combat.”

“This will make our team even stronger,” Luo Feng said, marveling. He knew Desolate Mirror Master often sought benefits for his Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but in critical moments, he was decisive. Many Cosmic Lords with avatars typically had a few, like Dragon Walk Master.

However, most only possessed two avatars. It was normal to leave one avatar in their God Kingdom and send the other to battle. Only a select few, like Desolate Mirror Master, Luo Feng, and Chaos City Lord, possessed multiple avatars. Such a Cosmic Lord could be worth several others. This was one reason why the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance’s overall strength was slightly superior to the Cosmic River Bank and Universe First Bank.

“For this battle, Desolate Mirror Master, Ice Peak Master, Dragon Walk Master, and Ghost Marquis Master, you four will act together,” Luo Feng instructed. “With Desolate Mirror Master’s three avatars joining the fight, your combined strength should be able to withstand even a Cosmic Supreme’s attack. However, chaotic battles are dangerous, so it’s best to fight around the Tomb Mausoleum Boat.”

“Understood.”

“Agreed.”

Desolate Mirror Master, Ice Peak Master, and the others nodded. They were confident but not reckless. After all, any one of the three neighboring peak races could rival humanity. If all three launched a combined assault, with their Cosmic Supremes and greater number of Cosmic Lords, humanity would suffer greatly in a chaotic fight. Playing the hero in such a situation would be suicidal.

Of course, if one possessed sixth-tier Cosmic Lord combat power, then playing the hero might be justifiable.

“My greatest concern this time…” Desolate Mirror Master said in a low voice, “is that other forces might act in concert! There’s almost no doubt the three peak races will make a move. But if other super factions also get involved… the most terrifying are those solitary Cosmic Supremes. If they also intervene…”

Luo Feng, Ice Peak Master, Ghost Marquis Master, and Dragon Walk Master fell silent, their expressions grim.

Indeed.

The nine super factions of the Primal Universe were the Ancestral God Sect, Humanity, Demon Race, Machine Race, Insectoid Race, Prison Race, Crystal Race, Northern Territory Alliance, and Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance! Among these nine, the eight potential adversaries—Ancestral God Sect, Demon Race, Machine Race, Insectoid Race, and Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance—all possessed ultimate supreme treasures!

The Prison Race, Crystal Race, and Northern Territory Alliance did not. Because the Prison Race and Crystal Race lacked ultimate supreme treasures, were in remote locations, and were slightly weaker overall, Humanity, the Demon Race, the Machine Race, and the Insectoid Race, despite their intense conflicts, tended to look down on those two races.

It should be noted that, in addition to the nine super factions, there were also some solitary Cosmic Supremes, such as Sitting Mountain Guest, Shihua Island Master, Black Universe Founder, Illusory True Demon God, and Demon Beast Ancestor. These Cosmic Supremes were all special lifeforms who had become Cosmic Supremes, incredibly ancient and immensely powerful.

In fact, the ‘Northern Territory Alliance Master’ was originally a solitary Cosmic Supreme who was later recruited. Even so, he was merely a nominal figure, occasionally lending a hand. However, despite possessing an ultimate supreme treasure himself, that Alliance Master would never truly exert himself for the Northern Territory Alliance. Even if the Northern Territory Alliance collapsed, he likely wouldn’t feel any regret.

There were over a dozen Cosmic Supremes in the Primal Universe, and they had their own grievances.

For instance, the Demon Beast Ancestor considered himself the ‘guide of the Demon Race’ and the ‘leader of the Starry Sky Behemoths,’ believing himself to be the true ancestor of both the Demon Race and Starry Sky Behemoths, hence the title ‘Demon Beast Ancestor.’ He had once been incredibly glorious, but later, both the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance and the Demon Race broke free from his control. This was one reason why the Demon Race constantly proclaimed, ‘Starry Sky Behemoths are also part of the Demon Race,’ as the two races indeed had significant entanglements.

Regardless, these solitary Cosmic Supremes were all formidable individuals. Some were mysterious, like the Northern Territory Alliance Master, Sitting Mountain Guest, and Shihua Island Master. Others had legendary battles, like Black Universe Founder, Demon Beast Ancestor, and Illusory True Demon God.

Originating as special lifeforms, they were even more ancient! Except for the unlucky Demon Beast Ancestor, who lacked an ultimate supreme treasure, all the others possessed one!

…

“Nine super factions, solitary forces.” Luo Feng secretly felt anxious. “Solitary forces are even more mysterious. They don’t need to fight for a race; each acts for themselves… and each is an extremely ancient special lifeform, like my teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest. This group of solitary individuals is no less formidable than the nine super factions.”

“The Duan Dong River lineage inheritance, the temptation of transcending reincarnation, is also a significant draw for them.”

The invisible pressure caused Luo Feng, Ice Peak Master, Dragon Walk Master, Desolate Mirror Master, and Ghost Marquis Master in the hall to remain silent for a long time.

“Hmph,” Dragon Walk Master rasped, “No matter who the enemy is, there’s only one fight! We humans… have no other choice!”

Luo Feng, Desolate Mirror Master, Ghost Marquis Master, and Ice Peak Master’s eyes lit up.

Right.

If the enemy came to kill, what could humanity do? Only fight!

…

In the three side halls of the City Lord’s Mansion, the three teams waited silently, their killing intent brewing with each passing moment.

“Come quickly!”

A voice echoed in each of the three side halls.

Luo Feng, Ice Peak Master, Dragon Walk Master, Desolate Mirror Master, and Ghost Marquis Master rose simultaneously, then instantly teleported away.

…

In the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Luo Feng’s team, led by Ice Peak Master; Darkness Master’s team, led by Qingdong Master; and Peng Gong Master’s team, led by Void Gold Master—the three teams appeared simultaneously. These 15 powerful beings all looked towards Chaos City Lord.

“Everyone…” Chaos City Lord’s gaze swept over them. Each Cosmic Lord’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit; they were all prepared for a bloody battle.

“The Demon Race, Insectoid Race, and Machine Race, according to the Original Ancestor’s conjecture, their Cosmic Supremes must have had a meeting and discussion, and just now, the three races acted almost simultaneously,” Chaos City Lord said gravely.

Luo Feng, Darkness Master, Peng Gong Master, and the others couldn’t help but sharpen their gazes, a wild glint appearing in their eyes.

They had indeed acted!

“Furthermore, each of these three teams has a Cosmic Supreme,” Chaos City Lord continued. “As soon as their God Kingdom teleportation appeared in space, the Original Ancestor sensed it… but each had a Cosmic Supreme forcing open the Virtual Universe, so it’s unknown which of these three teams belongs to the Insectoid Race and which to the Demon Race.”

“I believe the news of Giant Axe’s demise will spread quickly throughout the Primal Universe,” Chaos City Lord said solemnly. “It will surely attract other super factions, secondary factions, and even solitary Cosmic Supremes.”

“Therefore, the first battle must deter all sides, making some factions wary. If our race appears weak… it will surely make other factions fear being too late and missing out on benefits. At that point, all major factions and Cosmic Supremes might swarm us, and then our human race would truly have to withdraw from the Primal Universe.”

Silence fell over everyone.

Indeed.

What if they had two or three ultimate supreme treasures? If the nine super factions, numerous top-tier factions, and solitary Cosmic Supremes all attacked together, anyone who stood in their way would surely die, unless they constantly hid in the Tomb Mausoleum Boat. But if they could only hide, how could they protect their territory?

“The Original Ancestor and I have discussed it. For the first battle, our human race’s three small teams must act in concert to attack one of their teams!” Chaos City Lord’s eyes were sharp as he roared, “Unite and cripple this team in one fell swoop! Make them suffer heavy losses, which will surely shock all forces and make them hesitant to act easily.”

“Yes.”

“Cripple them!”

“Attack one of them with full force and annihilate that team,” Luo Feng and the others roared through gritted teeth. They knew it would be difficult, but they had to be ruthless.

If they couldn’t even cripple one of these teams, then the swarming forces would be a nightmare.

“Good!” Chaos City Lord said. “Depart immediately. Whichever of the three team coordinates is easiest to reach, we will go there and annihilate that team.”

“Yes.”

“Depart!”

“Depart!”

They shouted, suppressing the fury in their hearts, holding it all inside to unleash in battle!

…

The three teams, composed of humanity’s most powerful attackers, swiftly left Chaos City and arrived in the Primal Universe.

“This coordinate can be reached immediately.” The Virtual Universe now served as the supreme command center, with Chaos City Lord overseeing the entire situation. All three teams carried a large number of Immortal Gods, many of whom had numerous tokens scattered across the universe. This allowed for the fastest God Kingdom teleportation to the target location.

“Go!”

“Go!”

“Go!”

A Tomb Mausoleum Boat, a black pyramid, and an ancient palace (a peak palace supreme treasure, whose offensive power was limited under the restrictions of the Primal Universe, but a peak palace supreme treasure could not be shattered). These were the vessels of Luo Feng’s, Darkness Master’s, and Peng Gong Master’s teams, respectively.

Boom~~~~

Amidst dazzling golden light,

Space-time distorted!

The light of the God Kingdom, traversing space-time, connected to a distant point, simultaneously teleporting the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, the black pyramid, and the ancient palace, all bathed in golden light.

“You are approximately 120 light-years from the target. Here are the detailed coordinates.” Chaos City Lord notified them through the Virtual Universe. Inside the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, Luo Feng wore silver armor, with two pairs of silver wings spread on his back, and the stone blade strapped to him. He also carried a peak soul supreme treasure to guard his soul. With his will, combined with the peak soul supreme treasure…

He feared no attack, not even from ten Illusory True Demon Gods!

“Teleport!”

“Teleport!”

“Teleport!”

The three teams almost simultaneously teleported. The Tomb Mausoleum Boat, the black pyramid, and the ancient palace all leaped across the 120 light-year distance, appearing in a silent, pitch-black expanse of space. There were no stars nearby, only a massive, dim battleship in the distorted space-time far in the distance. As Luo Feng’s three teams appeared, a vast and majestic aura immediately erupted from the massive battleship, sweeping towards them.

“It’s the Demon Race!” Luo Feng and his team instantly identified their target upon seeing the massive battleship.
