Chapter 1309
Power Skyrockets
Even the Dark Lord, usually composed, couldn't help but feel excited at this moment. Looking across the entire Universe Ocean, who could capture over 70 Universe Masters in one go?
"Rise!" The Dark Lord held his breath, immediately pushing his right hand upwards. The black pyramid in his palm instantly flew out and expanded wildly, transforming in a flash into a majestic tower hundreds of millions of kilometers tall. Simultaneously, a massive abyss appeared at the base of the pyramid, directly aimed at the black, disc-shaped palace treasure in front.
Luo Feng smiled at the sight, and an Ancient God Eye appeared in his palm.
Currently, there were two Ancient God Eyes; the Demon Killer Clan clone held one, and his true body held the other.
"Go!" Luo Feng's palm aimed remotely at the disc-shaped palace treasure before him. The surrounding divine power seawater automatically parted, creating a path. In truth, even if occasionally affected, Luo Feng's will wouldn't be impacted.
Boom!
An invisible will attack swept towards the disc. Inside the disc were 72 Universe Masters. Under this powerful will attack, 65 of them immediately collapsed on the spot, leaving only 7 Universe Masters still conscious. These were all exceptionally strong-willed individuals, true elites, and these seven Universe Masters alone possessed 11 Divine Power Avatars.
"It's a will attack!"
"Block it!"
"Bai'er, what do we do?"
The seven Universe Masters, with their 11 Divine Power Avatars, were completely panicked. The other weaker-willed Universe Masters had already collapsed and couldn't help. How could just the seven of them resist? Moreover, the closest other palace treasures of the Freedom Alliance were nearly ten billion kilometers away; there wasn't enough time to call for help.
"The Black Prison Tower is devouring us."
"Block it."
"Hold on! If we're swallowed by the Black Prison Tower, we're finished!"
These seven Universe Masters were in a panic, and simultaneously, they became even more frantic.
But even frantic efforts were useless. Before, so many Universe Masters could jointly blast the surrounding divine power seawater to obstruct, and collectively resist the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and Golden Kingdom. But now, with only seven remaining, it was difficult for them to even control the palace treasure to fly and move. And now, they were being devoured by the Black Prison Tower...
If it were only the Black Prison Tower's devouring, they might still be able to contend.
But the annoying divine power seawater behind them kept impacting, pushing the palace treasure towards the Black Prison Tower!
"No, we can't hold it back."
"We can't hold it back! No, no!" These Universe Masters were unwilling to perish.
...
Meanwhile, in the core region of the distant Freedom Alliance, on the island at the center of the endless golden waves, over 400 Universe Masters of the Freedom Alliance and the Shi Hua Island Lord all had their Divine Power Avatars present.
"We can't hold them off."
"We were hit by a will attack, only seven of us can still resist. We're also suppressed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and divine power seawater, and the Black Prison Tower is devouring us... We can't resist, the palace is flying towards the Black Prison Tower."
"Everyone, save us."
On the thrones, especially in one section, many Divine Power Avatars of Universe Masters sat motionless, completely unconscious. Only seven were still extremely anxious.
"We are too far away; we can't get there at all."
"The divine power seawater and Five-Colored Aurora Lake create a double obstruction, the resistance is too great, we can't accelerate, it's impossible to reach light speed. Let alone entering the Dark Universe. What do we do, what do we do?" The groups of Universe Masters in other palace treasures, though not yet facing a fatal crisis, also grew anxious and worried seeing their companions in such a state.
Suddenly, the seven previously anxious Universe Masters showed despair: "We've been swallowed by the Black Prison Tower."
"All 72 of us Universe Masters have been swallowed by the Black Prison Tower."
Immediately, the surroundings fell silent.
72 Universe Masters?
Heavens!
After a brief silence, the surviving Freedom Alliance Universe Masters quickly grew even more anxious: "It's that will attack item, that will attack item! If not for that will attack item, with over 70 Universe Masters working together, even if temporarily trapped in the endless divine power seawater, the Black Prison Tower wouldn't dream of devouring us."
"Right, that will attack treasure is present, making our numerical advantage disappear instantly. Over 70 Universe Masters... 90% collapsed in an instant, leaving only seven to resist."
"What do we do?"
"If only we had known, we shouldn't have split into six teams. If we had combined into one team, with over 400 Universe Masters gathered, even if hit by a will attack, perhaps dozens could have withstood it. And with the Shi Hua Island Lord present, we wouldn't be so passive."
"Who would have thought Luo Feng would create that endless divine power seawater to trap us!"
The Freedom Alliance was in a panic.
The reason they had split into six teams initially was twofold: first, there were six major factions, and second, they planned to form six sub-teams if they joined the allied camp. Even if hit by a will attack... it would only affect a portion of their combat power. If they were gathered together... it would mean 90% of their combat power would be wiped out directly.
...
"Hahaha!" Even with the Dark Lord's usually reserved and cold nature, he couldn't help but burst into laughter at this moment. The massive black pyramid immediately shrunk rapidly, landing directly in his palm.
"Over 70 Universe Masters, captured in one fell swoop." The Dark Lord stood amidst the surging divine power seawater, his face beaming with pride. "Even among the Universe Overlords across the Universe Ocean, I doubt many have achieved this."
He then looked at Luo Feng beside him.
He understood...
Such a great harvest was due to many special reasons. First, the Ancient God Eye, a wondrous item, could launch a will attack, negating the opponent's numerical advantage. Second, the divine power seawater and Five-Colored Aurora Lake entangled them, preventing escape. Third, Luo Feng had blocked the soul attacks of over 800 Universe Masters and more than 10 Overlords! This rendered the allied camp helpless against Luo Feng, leaving them to struggle in the endless Youhai.
"Luo Feng, I truly must thank you this time." The Dark Lord looked at Luo Feng.
"Luck," Luo Feng shook his head. "To achieve this, many factors combined; one less wouldn't have worked. Moreover, my endless Youhai... makes movement difficult. If the allied camp escapes this time, such an opportunity will likely be hard to come by again."
In the endless Youhai, movement was difficult.
If the enemies were far away... the endless Youhai would be powerless.
If the enemy escaped this time, they could completely move away from this area spanning several light-years. Unless humanity always hid within the influence of this endless Youhai, once they left this range... without the advantage of the endless Youhai, they would only be trampled upon!
"Therefore!" the Dark Lord said coldly, "we must seize this opportunity, while they are trapped within your Youhai, to capture as many as possible in one go! This way, the number of Universe Masters in our camp will naturally greatly increase."
"Right," Luo Feng nodded solemnly. "Such an opportunity will likely be rare in the future; we must try our best to capture Universe Masters."
...
Inside the Black Prison Tower.
The 72 captured alien Universe Masters, as soon as they fell into the endless dim space, heard a voice: "Members of the Freedom Alliance, there's no need to worry. As long as you don't oppose humanity and assist us, humanity will naturally not kill you."
"We are willing to assist humanity."
"We are willing to assist!"
"We are willing to join the human camp." Many desperate alien Universe Masters, hearing this voice, immediately shouted. Wasn't it just joining the human camp? They had originally considered it, but the Purple Moon Holy Land offered more benefits, which was why they helped the allied camp.
But no matter how great the benefits, they couldn't compare to life itself.
Everyone surrendered, even those with clones who weren't in mortal danger were willing to surrender! After all, they didn't want to abandon their main combat Divine Power Avatars, nor did they want to abandon the numerous treasures accumulated over endless years!
...
Because the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and Golden Kingdom jointly suppressed the Qiqu Star Lake, neither the allied camp nor the Freedom Alliance could instantly know the other's situation. It was only when the Northern Territory Alliance Master's will crossed the distance and directly contacted the Shi Hua Island Lord that the Shi Hua Island Lord said: "The human side, using a combination of will attack treasure, Black Prison Tower, divine power seawater, and Five-Colored Aurora Lake, has already captured one of my Freedom Alliance's sub-teams."
"What!"
This news immediately greatly alarmed the Northern Territory Alliance Master. The main force of the human side was still engaging in divine power attacks and battles with the allied camp; it turned out that was just a facade, while they were making a serious move elsewhere.
"Everyone! The human camp, using a combination of a will attack treasure, Black Prison Tower, divine power seawater, and other methods, has already captured one of the Freedom Alliance's sub-teams. Be careful, everyone, and don't let humanity succeed." The Northern Territory Alliance Master immediately transmitted messages, or rather, will transmissions, to every Universe Overlord.
Will Descent...
This was a special ability of Universe Overlords.
Normal strong individuals, even those at the Universe Master level, relied on the Original Universe Origin. Everything about them, such as divine power, was bestowed by the Original Universe Origin. Therefore, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't resist the various rules of the universe origin, because the source of their strength was the 'Original Universe Origin.'
Universe Overlords, however, possessed their own universes! They relied on themselves! Thus, they could easily resist the 'Dark Universe's call' and exceed light speed even in the original universe space. They could easily send their will across endless time and space, descending to distant places...
Of course, there were weaknesses.
For example, 'clone abilities' and other innate secret techniques bestowed by the Original Universe were all gone. They no longer received the blessings of the Original Universe; everything had to come from themselves.
"Not good!" The Mechanical Race Father God also transmitted his will anxiously, saying, "We cannot allow humanity to capture the Universe Masters of the Freedom Alliance. The Freedom Alliance has a large number of Universe Masters; if they are captured by humanity, they will likely quickly join the human camp. At that time, the human camp's strength will greatly increase... even without using these insidious methods like divine power seawater, they would have nothing to fear from us."
"Quick."
"We must immediately leave the range of this endless Youhai. And try our best to help the Freedom Alliance; if we can help one sub-team, then one sub-team. If we help one sub-team, it means the human camp captures one less! The Freedom Alliance has a total of six teams, one of which is guarded by the Shi Hua Island Lord. This means the human camp's maximum potential is to capture five sub-teams, which would be over 300 Universe Masters... Once all are captured, the number of Universe Masters in the human camp will soar to over 500, exceeding half of the entire Original Universe! We will never have a chance to suppress humanity."
"Quick."
The allied camp was in a panic, but understanding was one thing; whether they could act was another.
