The Terrifying Haolei Star Master

Realizing that continuing the fight would yield no gains and might even lead to a disadvantage, Haolei Star Master decisively chose to retreat. The moment he tried to evade combat and flee— Endless, ethereal golden light instantly spread out, covering an area spanning light-years around them. Snow-white sand particles also drifted, as if existing in another dimensional space, swirling through every part of the surrounding seawater. However, as these snow-white particles approached the nearby 'Core Vortex', they instantly dissolved into nothingness, clearly unable to envelop that terrifying region. The Golden Kingdom, the Sea of Snow Sand! Both unleashed simultaneously! Fueled by the burning divine power from the execution of *Annihilation*, their might was naturally immense, instantly binding Haolei Star Master. “Hmph.” Haolei Star Master scoffed dismissively. While this restraint did affect him, he could still break through a hundred times the speed of light; it would just take a little more time. “Suppress!” Luo Feng's Beast God avatar suddenly roared. The Star Tower, which had previously been furiously smashing down on Haolei Star Master like a mountain, suddenly began to rotate. The entire Star Tower emitted a hazy glow, and its surface became covered in spiraling patterns, forming a helical structure. The spiraling light on the Star Tower's surface continuously spun, and the entire Star Tower pressed directly down on Haolei Star Master! When it came to explosive speed, how could a powerful being compare to the rapid burst of a weapon? “Buzz~~” There was none of the previous violent ferocity of smashing; instead, it was a subtle tremor, as if an entire world was slowly pressing down. The entire Star Tower swiftly descended, landing directly on top of Haolei Star Master's head. “Hm?” Haolei Star Master, who had been desperately trying to escape, was pinned down by the Star Tower... just like a small mouse trapped under a large rock, unable to move for a moment. “So heavy, so heavy!” Haolei Star Master felt an endless pressure emanating from the Star Tower, fully exerted upon him. This was not pure gravity, but a form of 'suppression'. The moment the Star Tower pressed down on him, the two seemed to become one, and the Star Tower's boundless pressure became his own burden. At that instant... he felt as if he were carrying a colossal miniature universe on his back! The boundless weight made it impossible for him to move an inch. Just like the boundless Youhai! The boundless Youhai moves on its own, but at an incredibly slow pace! It's the same principle. At this moment, Haolei Star Master's movement speed was even slower than that of the boundless Youhai! “Impossible, impossible!” Haolei Star Master roared, lightning erupting from his entire body. The sphere of lightning at his core burst forth with immense power, reaching its peak. Haolei Star Master was seen flying with extreme difficulty, his speed estimated to be less than ten thousand kilometers per second. “No, no, no!” Haolei Star Master desperately tried to accelerate. Accelerating to nearly ten thousand kilometers per second was his limit; the faster he tried to go, the stronger the suppressive pressure from the Star Tower became! This scene filled Luo Feng with a sense of satisfaction. “The Star Tower, I have fully comprehended both its fourth and fifth secret patterns.” “The fourth tier can be called 'Smash'.” “The fifth tier can be called 'Suppress'.” Luo Feng couldn't be bothered to come up with more profound names, but the secret techniques represented by the Star Tower's fourth and fifth secret patterns greatly excited him. During the previous battle, the Star Tower primarily used smashing attacks, employing the methods of the fourth tier. The fifth tier, by rights, possesses eighth-tier might. However, when *Annihilation* was activated, it reached ninth-tier might! With such powerful 'suppression' from the Star Tower, even Haolei Star Master found it incredibly difficult to move. “If you had an ally, the two of you together might be able to shake off my Star Tower,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “If we were in a place where you weren't threatened, you could easily outlast me. After all, maintaining a ninth-tier attack consumes an enormous amount of divine power, and I'm constantly using *Annihilation*, which makes the consumption even more staggering.” “Your divine body is larger than mine, and your divine power level is higher. If we truly dragged this out, you would naturally have the advantage over me.” “Unfortunately—” “This entire situation was orchestrated by me!” “Everything has fallen into place... So, Haolei Star Master, die!” A myriad of thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind in an instant. While complex to describe, in reality, the very moment Luo Feng activated the Star Tower's 'fifth-tier' secret pattern to suppress Haolei Star Master, a colossal object rumbled into existence in the nearby seawater. A massive, ancient vessel appeared out of thin air, then majestically charged directly towards Haolei Star Master. “No!” Haolei Star Master was pinned down by the Star Tower, utterly unable to shake it off. He tried to control his 'Universal Defense Cone' to attack, but under the suppression, his own attacks were affected and even less capable of shaking the Star Tower. At this moment, his speed was agonizingly slow. The Tomb Mausoleum, billions of kilometers long, was directly crashing into him. At his current speed, which was less than ten thousand kilometers per second at its fastest, he had no way to dodge! “Hmph!” Luo Feng's Beast God avatar, standing nearby, watched with anticipation. He's dead for sure. Haolei Star Master is doomed. Pinned down, and with his divine power capable of maintaining ninth-tier suppression for a short time, being struck by the Tomb Mausoleum... Other treasures wouldn't have enough impact force, but the Tomb Mausoleum's collision was so powerful that even a large group of Cosmic Masters couldn't budge it. Its destructive force was unimaginable. It would absolutely be able to forcibly ram Haolei Star Master into the 'Core Vortex'. The Core Vortex possessed terrifying power. Only at its very core was there a surprisingly 'calm' passage, much like the tranquil eye of a hurricane. Occasionally, supreme treasures would emerge from the very center of the Core Vortex. However, Haolei Star Master, being rammed into the Core Vortex, would be shredded and annihilated long before reaching its tranquil center. Even a Cosmic Ultimate Expert would perish within it, unless protected by a supreme palace-type treasure. The Star Tower suppressed, the Tomb Mausoleum collided, and the Core Vortex was poised to deliver the killing blow. Luo Feng stared at the lightning giant, watching it meet its end. “You forced my hand, you forced my hand!” Haolei Star Master suddenly roared, a furious, frenzied bellow. “Luo Feng! Luo Feng! You forced my hand, you forced my hand! Then you shall die!” With his roar, Luo Feng immediately felt a sense of foreboding. “Quick, ram him!” Luo Feng desperately controlled the Tomb Mausoleum, pushing its speed to the maximum. But at this moment— Haolei Star Master had gone completely mad. Along with his roar, black streams of air began to emerge from every part of his massive, lightning-wreathed body. These black currents poured out, causing him to let out cries of agony. The moment these eerie, unfathomable black streams appeared... they seemed to possess no power whatsoever. “Danger, danger, danger!” Luo Feng instinctively sensed peril. Every particle of his divine power screamed, as if encountering a terrifying entity. “Dodge!” Luo Feng flashed, intending to rush towards the Tomb Mausoleum. The Star Tower was suppressing his opponent; if he wanted to hide, he could only retreat into the Tomb Mausoleum. “You want me dead? Then you'll die first!” Haolei Star Master was utterly insane. The endless black streams of air erupting from his lightning body instantly flashed across space, moving at a speed unconstrained by temporal limits. Like a domain-type supreme treasure, it could spread over a certain area the moment it was activated. In the same manner, the black streams of air instantly appeared before Luo Feng. Instantly assailing Luo Feng's 'Golden Beast God' avatar. “It's fine, it's fine, I can withstand it. My Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor has also formed the shape of a Beast God, like a peak palace-type supreme treasure.” Although Luo Feng instinctively felt immense fear, this wasn't a fear from his heart, but a natural terror from every particle of his divine power, much like how hair instantly singes and curls when it encounters fire. His divine power naturally felt fear upon encountering the black streams of air. This was not something his will could override. Yet, his rationality... made Luo Feng believe that there couldn't be such a terrifying existence in the Cosmic Ocean. After all, his strength was immense, and his Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor, in its Beast God form, was like a peak palace-type supreme treasure. It would have to be broken through to attack his true body inside! And breaking through a peak palace-type supreme treasure... was something no Cosmic Ultimate Expert could achieve. “Whoosh~~” The seemingly ordinary black streams of air instantly enveloped the entire Golden Beast God. Why could the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor condense into a Beast God? It was precisely because it was fueled by divine power that it could form. Thus, the surface of the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor naturally had burning divine power constantly maintaining it. “Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~” Like fire meeting water, they instantly consumed each other without end. The moment the black streams of air enveloped the Golden Beast God, the burning divine power maintaining the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor was instantly consumed at an insane rate! Similarly... the black streams of air also suffered losses, but the sheer volume of black air was too immense; it was all the black streams of air erupting from Haolei Star Master's entire body. “Hold on, hold on, hold on...” Luo Feng desperately tried to transmit divine power throughout his body at a frantic pace, attempting to maintain the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor. However, the transmission speed simply couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption. It was as if a raging fire had been suddenly doused by a large basin of water, extinguished in an instant. And the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor... automatically disintegrated the moment the divine power maintaining it was completely consumed in the blink of an eye. “Whoosh~~~” The terrifying black streams of air, subtly forming strange, twisted shapes, then enveloped Luo Feng. Divine power! Black streams of air! They consumed each other frantically. “Hahahaha...” Haolei Star Master, seeing this from afar, instantly descended into madness, roaring wildly. “You pushed me to this point, you forced my hand, you forced my hand! Haha, you're merely a Cosmic Master, how much divine body do you possess, and how weak is your divine power? This isn't a power on the same level. If you were a Cosmic Ultimate Expert, you might have been able to contend for a while... but you are merely a Cosmic Master. Even if your total divine power were a thousand times greater, you would still only face annihilation.” “Hahahaha...” “Once you fall, your Star Tower and all your other supreme treasures will be mine. Even if you have an avatar, it won't be able to save you in time.” Haolei Star Master was both furious and ecstatic. His roar had barely faded. Whoosh! In the distance, Luo Feng's divine body had already been annihilated. Faced with these black streams of air, Luo Feng had no idea how to contend. Even among the vast memory stones left by the Duan Dong River lineage, there was no record of these black streams of air! Or perhaps, if there was, it had been concealed by the Original Universe's will. In short, Luo Feng had no idea how to resist. Attack? Attacks were ineffective; it seemed only divine power could be consumed to counter it. And his true body, a divine body a hundred thousand kilometers tall, was instantly annihilated. “Clatter~~” His Silver Four-Wings, Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor, World Ring, Blood Shadow Blade... all floated around him. This sight made Haolei Star Master even more excited. However, the colossal, high-speed vessel, the 'Tomb Mausoleum', showed no signs of slowing down and slammed into him with a thunderous crash...
