Purple Moon Holy Land

Luo Feng was furious. He was responsible for two areas, both near two miniature universes belonging to weak True Gods. Logically, the Beast of Calamity should have appeared outside these two miniature universes. Once it arrived, he could have reached it in moments, perhaps even killed it.

Yet, eleven whole years had passed! He hadn't encountered the Beast of Calamity even once!

“Yinhe, we absolutely did not transmit your whereabouts to Zhen Jia King or Qiuyan Ancestral God! You said they might be on the Beast of Calamity's side, so why would we leak information?” Divine Eye True Master transmitted.

“We haven't leaked anything. Only many True Gods know, not even Universe Masters know your whereabouts. As for the miniature universes of Qiuyan Ancestral God and Zhen Jia King, we excluded them long ago. We also issued orders forbidding any of our powerhouses from contacting those two miniature universes,” Master of Skeleton transmitted.

Luo Feng, Master of Skeleton, Divine Eye True Master, Nine-Headed Demon Master, Bei Chi Star Master, Chaos City Lord...

The eight strongest beings in the Universe Ocean were all communicating.

“But for eleven whole years, I haven't encountered that Beast of Calamity even once,” Luo Feng said angrily. “It went to other weak True Gods' miniature universes, but it never came to these two miniature universes closest to me. How do you explain that?”

If it had devoured once or twice and he missed it, that would be one thing.

But eleven years, over twenty times!

One must know that powerhouses from the Primitive Universe can instantly travel to miniature universes from the Primitive Universe via 'cosmic pathways'! They can reinforce at the fastest speed... so the Beast of Calamity has never targeted the miniature universes of powerhouses from the Primitive Universe era, always focusing on the Second Reincarnation Era and First Reincarnation Era.

And there are only so many True Gods in the Second Reincarnation Era and First Reincarnation Era, and after being screened and tempered in Jinzhi World, their numbers are even scarcer.

Even fewer are weak ones.

For the Beast of Calamity to have devoured over twenty times and never once come to his two miniature universes, there was naturally a problem.

“It can't be such a coincidence. The Beast of Calamity must have known in advance.”

“How could it know our strategy?”

“We are mortal enemies; our subordinates couldn't possibly tell it our strategy.”

The eight super-existences conversed.

“There's only one possibility,” Luo Feng said coldly. “That is, in our Universe Ocean, besides Hao Lei Star Master, Zhen Jia King, and Qiuyan Ancestral God, there are other True Gods who have pledged allegiance to the Beast of Calamity! It's precisely because other True Gods have pledged allegiance to the Beast of Calamity that it knows our strategy and where I am!”

The other seven fell silent.

They had actually guessed this possibility but were unwilling to believe it.

“Right,” Jiuyou True Master transmitted. “Since Zhen Jia King and those three would pledge allegiance to the Beast of Calamity, it doesn't mean other True Gods wouldn't! It's possible they pledged allegiance a very, very long time ago, or even... just recently within these past ten-plus years.”

“Just recently?”

“Pledged allegiance within these ten-plus years?”

Jiuyou True Master continued, “The threat of the Beast of Calamity is too great. Repeated devouring makes True Gods despair. Some True Gods believe we can't defeat the Beast of Calamity... and even if we can, many weaker True Gods will likely die. So, it's possible some True Gods secretly pledged allegiance to the Beast of Calamity. For example, while publicly claiming that the Beast of Calamity is devouring their miniature universe's origin, in reality, the Beast of Calamity is just putting on a show, deliberately deceiving us so we don't know who the spy is!”

“Right.”

“Makes sense.”

“Hmm.” Luo Feng also agreed with this point.

The Beast of Calamity's numerous tactics indeed troubled the Universe Ocean powerhouses, and this was just one Beast of Calamity. In despair... it was very possible for powerhouses to follow the example of 'Zhen Jia King and Qiuyan Ancestral God' and pledge allegiance to the Beast of Calamity.

“In that case,” Luo Feng transmitted, “from now on, while we will publicly announce our strategy, it will be... a fake one! I will act alone, and my whereabouts will be known to no one but myself... This way, I refuse to believe that Beast of Calamity can still evade me.”

“Yinhe, let's do it that way.”

“Everything according to your plan. Even the seven of us won't know your true whereabouts, so no one can leak it.”

...

This conversation among the eight of them first confirmed one point: besides Zhen Jia King and Qiuyan Ancestral God, there should be other traitors to the Beast of Calamity in the Universe Ocean! Of course, Luo Feng and the others also began a new countermeasure.

Luo Feng's Youhai clone, Demon Killer Clan clone, and Golden Horn Behemoth clone all began to act.

They quickly departed, reaching new target locations, quietly waiting for the Beast of Calamity to fall into their trap!

...

In the chaotic airflow void of the Universe Ocean.

The Beast of Calamity Moluosa was floating in the airflow.

“I am truly clever.”

“Each time, I only devour a miniature universe's origin for one day. This way, they can't form a true encirclement. Haha, devouring so many times, it's almost equivalent to three miniature universe origins combined.” The Beast of Calamity Moluosa was exceptionally pleased. “My strength is much greater than when I first left the nest.”

“Hmm, where to next?”

The Beast of Calamity pondered.

The miniature universes of powerhouses from the Primitive Universe era? The Primitive Universe era is the strongest era, with the most True Gods, and they can quickly reach 'miniature universes' via cosmic pathways. Moreover, those miniature universes don't float too far from the 'Primitive Universe'. Once it goes there, it would likely soon face an encirclement by a large number of True Gods.

Second Reincarnation Era, First Reincarnation Era?

It had already visited all the ones it could.

The others were either clustered in groups, like the several True God universes of the God-Eye Clan, or belonged to super-strong individuals, like Juehe True God, or were controlled by Luo Feng.

“Although my strength has increased a lot, last time, I was clearly inferior to Nine-Headed Demon Master. Now, at most, I'm on par with it. And Yinhe Lord Luo Feng is known as the strongest powerhouse in the Universe Ocean.” The Beast of Calamity secretly mused, “Now is not the time to fight him.”

“This time... I'll go to a Holy Land Universe!” The Beast of Calamity suddenly decided. “A Holy Land Universe is a higher tier. Although the resistance is stronger, and devouring is slower, I might as well taste it, see how much better the origin of this Holy Land Universe is compared to a miniature universe's origin.”

...

Whoosh!

The Beast of Calamity swiftly headed towards the Purple Moon Holy Land miniature universe. In less than two days, the Beast of Calamity arrived in the void outside the Purple Moon Holy Land miniature universe.

“Purple Moon Holy Land.”

The Beast of Calamity looked into the distance, vaguely seeing its massive outline. “Relatively speaking, it's smaller than the East Emperor Holy Land! Easier to deal with!”

Immediately, black mist permeated its entire body, and at the same time, twisted lines of light, originating from it, instantly extended infinitely towards the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, stretching hundreds of millions of light-years, directly penetrating the void. Soon, dazzling light passed through the twisted lines and entered its body.

“Waaah!” The Beast of Calamity Moluosa involuntarily trembled, its eyes closing, a look of enjoyment on its face.

“Truly, truly... beautiful, a beautiful enjoyment,” the Beast of Calamity Moluosa murmured, its voice trembling slightly. “Compared to, compared to the origin of a miniature universe, it's so much more comfortable! And the speed of devouring this Purple Moon Holy Land miniature universe's origin isn't slower than devouring other miniature universe origins.”

Just a moment later—

The Beast of Calamity Moluosa suddenly felt the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe's origin resistance greatly increase, significantly slowing its devouring speed. In terms of speed, it was only about one percent of the speed of devouring other miniature universe origins.

...

Inside the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe.

“Come quickly!”

A majestic voice echoed in the minds of all Universe Masters and True Gods throughout the Purple Moon Holy Land.

Immediately, the top echelon of powerhouses in the Purple Moon Holy Land rushed over.

...

Above the grand hall.

Purple Moon Ancestor stood there, no longer possessing his usual composure and calmness. His face was ashen, filled only with anxiety and fury. Even when his attempt to kill Luo Feng failed, even when the most elite group of Universe Masters in the Purple Moon Holy Land perished, he had never been so angry, so anxious and flustered.

Flustered, Purple Moon Ancestor was truly flustered! Anxious!

“What to do?”

“What do we do now?” Purple Moon Ancestor was filled with anxiety. “It's here, it's finally here. Ever since the origin will transmitted that message, I knew that the Beast of Calamity would eventually emerge. This time, it has been devouring the miniature universes of those True Gods, and now, it's finally my turn. Although I've tried my best, I can only slow the Beast of Calamity's devouring speed to one percent. But that's not enough! No matter how slow... given enough time, it will still devour my miniature universe completely. My universe will collapse and dissipate, and then I'll be finished!”

Purple Moon Ancestor was extremely anxious.

“Ancestor.”

Figures flew in from outside below. Soon, over a hundred Universe Masters and two True Gods appeared, each respectful.

Purple Moon Ancestor looked down, his face ashen with rage. “At this moment, the Beast of Calamity has arrived outside my Purple Moon Holy Land Universe.”

“The Beast of Calamity is here!”

“Outside our Holy Land?”

“The Beast of Calamity has finally arrived.”

Below, everyone panicked. Although they had over a hundred Universe Masters and two True Gods, none of them had the confidence to confront the Beast of Calamity.

“All of you, depart immediately,” Purple Moon Ancestor commanded. “All those with soul-type ultimate treasures, depart together in a palace-type ultimate treasure, leaving my Purple Moon Holy Land Universe. Go confront that Beast of Calamity!”

“Ancestor, we, we are no match for that Beast of Calamity.”

“We can't deal with it.”

Immediately, everyone below spoke up.

Purple Moon Ancestor roared in anger, “Of course I know you are no match for it. That's why I'm having you hide inside that palace-type ultimate treasure. I'm just telling you to go... to influence it! To slow down its speed of devouring the universe origin! Also, immediately transmit messages throughout the entire Universe Ocean, let them know the Beast of Calamity has appeared here! Let them come deal with the Beast of Calamity!”

“Ancestor,” a red-armored Universe Master with two faces and four arms below said worriedly, “Our relationship with humans is extremely poor. Humans are now considered the foremost power in the Universe Ocean, and Yinhe Lord Luo Feng is the strongest powerhouse in the Universe Ocean. If we send out the message... will Yinhe Lord Luo Feng come?”
