The Dust Settles

Luo Feng, the Dark Lord, and the Demon Killer Clan avatar sped through the surging divine power sea, instantly reaching light speed and entering the dark universe. Soon after, they reappeared hundreds of billions of kilometers away, arriving at the gathering point of the human Cosmic Overlords.

“Luo Feng.”

“Dark Lord.”

The Cosmic Overlords of the human faction were all overjoyed, especially the powerhouses of the human race, who were even more excited. Although they didn't yet know the exact number of Cosmic Overlords captured, the Chaos City Lord, through his 'Universe in Hand,' had a rough idea. He knew how many palace treasures had been seized and, based on that, estimated the approximate number. According to the Chaos City Lord, it was around 200!

“Galaxy Lord, how many Cosmic Overlords did you capture exactly?”

“Yes, yes, how many?”

“How many Cosmic Overlords are there?” The alien Cosmic Overlords were also filled with anticipation. Such a legendary event might not have occurred in other cosmic eras, as capturing over a hundred Cosmic Overlords… required the combination of countless factors to create such a 'miracle.'

“Luo Feng, Dark Lord, how many exactly?” Icepeak Master, Ghost Marquis, and others pressed for answers, even the Chaos City Lord looked on expectantly.

Luo Feng and the Dark Lord exchanged glances.

“208,” Luo Feng stated.

“Ha!” Long Xing Master let out a strange cry.

“Good.” The Chaos City Lord’s eyes gleamed as he exclaimed.

“Incredible, 208… directly capturing over 200 Cosmic Overlords. I’ve never even heard of such a thing, haha, this is a miracle, a miracle for the entire universe ocean.” The alien Cosmic Overlords conversed amongst themselves, sighing in admiration. The three Ancestral Gods, Eight Great Beast Gods, and Nine Remoteness Master of the Ancestral God Sect all praised them.

A scene of jubilation.

The Dark Lord shook his head and said, “It’s a pity. Every time we tried to capture a palace treasure, the Freedom Alliance Cosmic Overlords resisted with all their might… which cost us a lot of time. Otherwise, we would have gotten even more.”

During the previous captures, their resistance indeed significantly reduced Luo Feng’s team’s efficiency.

For example, during absorption… the opposing palace treasures would deliberately shrink! These palace treasures were usually of normal size, perhaps millions of kilometers across. But once they were being absorbed, they would suddenly shrink to the size of dust! The reduced volume meant the palace treasures were far from the 'Black Prison Tower'…

Even at a speed of 100,000 kilometers per second, it would still take a while for them to be absorbed. Of course, Luo Feng’s team also had various countermeasures.

…

In short, the Freedom Alliance resisted with all their might, and even if they couldn't resist, they tried to delay as much as possible. Because of this, even though Luo Feng had the Infinite Sea of Divinity and a huge advantage, half of the Freedom Alliance still managed to escape! Only half were captured! But for humanity, this was already enough.

…

The human faction gathered together, while the allied forces remained trapped in the Infinite Sea of Divinity.

The 11 powerful Cosmic Supremes continued to expand their divine bodies, trying to find a way to escape the Infinite Sea of Divinity. However, the seawater relentlessly entangled them… Although divine power was constantly burning and being consumed, Luo Feng didn't care in the slightest. Compared to the entire Infinite Sea of Divinity… what did the consumed divine power amount to?

“Everyone, come up.”

“All of you, come up.” The Bug Clan Empress’s telepathic message spread.

“Alright.”

“Alright.”

The Shi Hua Island Master reached out, grabbed the edge of the Queen’s Palace, then shrunk and attached himself to its surface. As the Queen’s Palace expanded… Shocking Demon Ancestor, Dream Demon Ancestor, Mechanical Race Father God, Er Zhou, Black Zhou Founder, and others all attached themselves to the surface of the Queen’s Palace.

None of these Cosmic Supremes entered the interior of the Queen’s Palace.

Because they dared not! If all of them, a group of Cosmic Supremes, were to enter, wouldn't their lives be at the mercy of the Bug Clan Empress? Currently, each of their factions had many Cosmic Overlords, and the number of Cosmic Overlords controlled by the Bug Clan Empress wasn't that large, so she wouldn't turn hostile. But if they all went inside…

It was entirely possible for the Bug Clan Empress to turn hostile, seize control of such a force, and become the supreme ruler of the entire primal universe.

…

The 11 Cosmic Supremes were all attached to the outside of the majestic Queen’s Palace.

“Grow, grow, grow!” The Bug Clan Empress desperately controlled it.

The Queen’s Palace expanded without restraint.

As the Queen’s Palace grew… the 11 Cosmic Supremes naturally moved forward 'passively,' and at an extremely fast pace.

…

Luo Feng watched this scene from afar, shaking his head slightly. An ultimate supreme treasure could easily reach a height of several light-years; for instance, the Star Tower could normally reach nine light-years! If divine power was supplied to its utmost, like the Queen’s Palace, it could continue to grow beyond ten light-years. But his Infinite Sea of Divinity… being a divine body, couldn't expand indefinitely.

After obstructing them for a moment, Luo Feng no longer interfered. At this point, the Queen’s Palace had reached a height of over a trillion kilometers.

“Retract!”

The Infinite Sea of Divinity, which had expanded to trillions of kilometers, began to actively retract. The resistance to the Queen’s Palace’s expansion sharply decreased, and it immediately grew wildly, quickly allowing the 11 attached Cosmic Supremes to escape the range of the 'Infinite Sea of Divinity.'

“Finally, we escaped.” A mass of flame formed into a human shape, hovering and sighing.

“Luo Feng’s divine power sea is truly troublesome. If we didn’t have the Queen’s Palace this time, it would have taken us a long time to get out…” The Mechanical Race Father God sighed. Faced with the endless Infinite Sea of Divinity, individuals truly couldn't escape quickly. The only method, a foolish one, was to fly slowly!

The three Ancestral Gods wouldn't continuously control the 'Five-Colored Aurora Lake' to suppress them, nor would the Chaos City Lord continuously control the 'Universe in Hand,' as both consumed too much divine power.

Only Luo Feng had enough divine power to contend with them.

But if Luo Feng alone were to obstruct them… while they couldn't reach light speed, one-tenth light speed wouldn't be difficult. They could maintain one-tenth light speed and fly continuously! The Infinite Sea of Divinity moved with difficulty, so to obstruct them, Luo Feng would have to keep expanding it… but expansion had its limits. If they flew at one-tenth light speed for ten or a hundred years, Luo Feng couldn't possibly expand the Infinite Sea of Divinity to ten light-years, at which point they would have flown out of its range.

“Fortunately,” the Shocking Demon Ancestor said in a low voice, “fortunately, this infinite ocean is incredibly difficult to move! No wonder the Star Tower remained stationary before; it turns out it was hiding this infinite divine power ocean… Its difficulty in moving means Luo Feng cannot take this divine power ocean into battle. Even if an ultimate supreme treasure contains this divine power ocean, it can only remain in place and is very difficult to move.”

Everyone nodded.

Indeed.

Furthermore, after containing the divine power ocean, even the Star Tower couldn't enter the 'God Kingdom Channel,' as it would cause the God Kingdom Channel to collapse!

“In the future, if Luo Feng stands still, or if a Tomb Mausoleum or Star Tower stands motionless beside him, we will avoid him. If he can move easily… it means he isn't carrying the divine power ocean at all,” said the North Territory Alliance Master.

After this battle,

These Cosmic Supremes had indeed placed Luo Feng on their priority list, and were extremely wary, treating him as a highly threatening existence.

“Although this divine power ocean is vast, strictly speaking, Luo Feng’s soul is a human soul! Once he steps into the ranks of Cosmic Supremes… returning to his origin, his many avatars will merge into one, becoming human!” The Prison Race Demon Ancestor said hoarsely, “His divine power ocean is so vast because it was bestowed by the primal universe… Once he breaks through in the future, his God Kingdom will become a miniature universe! His many avatars will merge… his human divine body will be unable to bear it, and a great deal of divine power will certainly be lost during the fusion. At that time, his divine power won't be so outrageous.”

“Hmm.”

“Right.”

“Many avatars merging, returning to the original self. Once he becomes a Cosmic Supreme… in the primal universe, he won’t be so troublesome.” Everyone sighed with such sentiment.

Currently, Luo Feng had four avatars.

Each could exert peak Sixth-tier combat power! While a Cosmic Supreme only had one true body.

And Luo Feng’s Infinite Sea of Divinity… provided virtually infinite divine power. He was indeed more troublesome than a Cosmic Supreme. Of course, this was within the primal universe… in the universe ocean, a Cosmic Supreme would naturally be more terrifying.

“Once one becomes a Cosmic Supreme, everything depends on oneself. Avatars, innate secret techniques… all gone. However, the Nine Remoteness Master is different. His true body is that divine power ocean, so even if he breaks through to become a Cosmic Supreme in the future, his divine body will still be the divine power ocean!” Er Zhou lamented.

Er Zhou, Black Zhou Founder, North Territory Alliance Master, and Shi Hua Island Master were relatively at ease because they had no racial burdens. But Shocking Demon Ancestor, Dream Demon Ancestor, Prison Race Demon Ancestor, and others were anxious and troubled by this battle.

“Everyone, let’s stop discussing Luo Feng… This battle has devolved to this point, what should we do?” The Starry Sky Ancestor’s voice was ancient as he pressed for an answer.

“Yes, what should we do?” The Mechanical Race Father God was also troubled.

The North Territory Alliance Master shook his head: “What can we do? The human faction has captured over 200 Cosmic Overlords. As long as Luo Feng, Chaos City Lord, and the others in the human faction aren’t foolish enough to commit suicide, they certainly won’t slaughter those Cosmic Overlords. Instead, they will win them over. Those captured Cosmic Overlords, for the sake of their races and themselves, will quickly pledge allegiance to the human faction. Furthermore, within the Freedom Alliance… many Cosmic Overlords have connections with them, some even belonging to the same race, so more might be won over.”

“Currently, the human faction already has over 400 Cosmic Overlords. Even if we include the Freedom Alliance, we only have just over 600! Although we have several Cosmic Supremes, Luo Feng alone has four avatars, plus the Chaos City Lord, Dark Lord, Peng Gong Master, and the three Ancestral Gods… their combined peak Sixth-tier combat power is not much less than ours.”

“Although we have an advantage in the number of Cosmic Overlords, the other side possesses two Will Impact Treasures that can easily sweep through two of our squads. And during battle, humanity will definitely choose our two squads with the most powerhouses! If we spread out too much… our defenses will only be too weak, leading to a situation where we are defeated one by one.”

“Therefore, any slight advantage we have is negated by those two Will Impact Treasures.”

“Adding to that, the other side has a Time-Space Control Treasure! Its power feels even stronger than a domain-type ultimate supreme treasure… If we truly go head-to-head with humanity, there’s no hope of victory; it will only be a mutually destructive, incredibly prolonged war.”
