The Cruelest Moment

Luo Feng gazed at the Nine-Headed Demon Lord's miniature universe in the distance, instantly pushing his Wuqishen to its limit. The powerful and sharp energy directly transferred into the Blood Shadow Blade in his hand.

“Destroy!”

The Blood Shadow Blade glowed! A dazzling, incomparably brilliant white-gold arc of blade light, nearly a light-year long, flashed across the void and silently cleaved into the membrane of the distant miniature universe. A crack appeared on the membrane, and the blade light then flew directly along a straight path towards the miniature universe's core.

The core must be at the center of a miniature universe.

“Hmm?” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, seated on his throne, his expression drastically changed.

“This is!” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord jumped in fright.

That infinitely powerful blade light moved at an incredibly fast speed, far exceeding a billion times the speed of light. One must know that even the corpse suspected to be a God King could drift at speeds far exceeding a billion times the speed of light… the speed of a blade light attack would naturally be much faster. Even if the miniature universe was large enough, it would take less than half a day to reach the core.

Wherever the blade light passed, planes of space shattered, and countless lives within them perished.

“Such terrifying blade light, it must be Luo Feng, it must be him!” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord was both shocked and enraged.

Beast Hordes would not attack him.

And other powerhouses from various races in the Universe Ocean simply couldn't achieve this; only Luo Feng was capable. However, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord hadn't expected Luo Feng to be so formidable.

“I cannot let him destroy the core.” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

Whoosh!

With a direct teleport, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, seated in a golden battleship, instantly appeared outside one of the planes of space in the void. The battleship also rapidly expanded to a light-year in length, blocking the path of the white-gold blade light.

“I refuse to believe you can destroy this True God-level treasure,” the Nine-Headed Demon Lord gritted his teeth. Even a Void True God couldn't destroy a True God weapon, let alone a battleship most adept at resisting material attacks.

“It’s coming.” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord held his breath in anticipation.

Boom!

The dazzling, massive arc of white-gold blade light slammed into the golden battleship. With a violent tremor, the arc of blade light exploded, transforming into endless shockwaves that swept in all directions. Instantly, the surrounding planes of space shattered like bubbles, and countless lives were annihilated before they could even react.

The battleship also trembled under the immense pressure and was sent flying rapidly away at high speed.

…

“Hmm?” Luo Feng, in the void outside the miniature universe, frowned.

“It seems I have to go in.”

Luo Feng piloted the Star Tower, crashing through the membrane and directly entering, then continuously teleporting deeper inside.

“Stop.” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, inside his tumbling battleship, immediately noticed the Star Tower charging in and teleporting. Frightened, he quickly manipulated space to prevent Luo Feng from teleporting.

“Hmph.”

Luo Feng merely snorted. If he wasn't pressed for time, he could have simply flown at super-high speed directly to the core and cleaved it apart! But with nine hundred thousand Beast Hordes entering the Universe Ocean, he had no time to waste with the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, so he could only use his ultimate move.

“Universe in a Thought!” A sharp glint flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.

Currently, the Wings of Wu, with 'Source' as its core, converted energy to unleash the fourth stage of Universe in a Thought.

At this moment, it truly qualified as a mechanical-type treasure!

“Buzz~~~”

A vast miniature universe instantly came into being, with a diameter of one hundred thousand light-years! Without using 'Source,' Luo Feng found this move quite strenuous, and the miniature universe couldn't reach such a size. But now, it could achieve a diameter of one hundred thousand light-years.

Even without 'Source,' the power of the miniature universe Luo Feng unleashed surpassed that of a True God's miniature universe, let alone now.

“Go!” Luo Feng teleported nearly fifty thousand light-years in a single jump.

His Wings of Wu was the core of this miniature universe. As the wings changed position, the miniature universe naturally shifted. The so-called cosmic membrane was actually insignificant… whether it was the Primal Universe or the miniature universes of True Gods, a breached membrane was a minor issue that would quickly repair itself naturally.

The membrane merely served as a boundary! The boundary within which the core's power could spread. Within this range, the core's power could affect everything; beyond it, it could not.

As Luo Feng teleported, his miniature universe naturally moved with him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Each jump covered fifty thousand light-years. In moments, he had covered several million light-years, terrifying the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, who immediately fled in his battleship, abandoning his own miniature universe. He knew that if Luo Feng caught him, he would surely die.

“Destroy.”

Luo Feng swung the Blood Shadow Blade.

The dazzling golden blade light directly sliced through the chaotic core in the distant void. Though the core struggled to resist, it still exploded with a roar. All space within the miniature universe collapsed, and all life was annihilated. Only the Nine-Headed Demon Lord fled in panic.

“Flee?” Luo Feng retracted the miniature universe created by his Wings of Wu and pursued him with his own teleportation.

In less than two minutes.

“Galaxy Lord.” The Nine-Headed Demon Lord, inside his battleship, was terrified. All nine of his heads tried to explain, “I was forced, I didn’t want my clan to be annihilated, I…”

Luo Feng gave him a cold glance.

A Star Tower floated, and the endless darkness at its base directly enveloped the Nine-Headed Demon Lord. Endless, massive miniature universes also appeared around him…

…

After taking the Nine-Headed Demon Lord into the Star Tower, Luo Feng quickly returned.

On his way back, Luo Feng used the 'Divine Eye Secret Art' to extract the Nine-Headed Demon Lord from his battleship and easily kill him! This Divine Eye Secret Art was a will attack. Palace-type treasures, even the Star Tower, could not defend against such ethereal will attacks.

…

In the Primal Universe, within humanity's territory, at the Galaxy Holy Land.

Numerous massive cosmic passage gates floated in various voids around the Galaxy Holy Land. Each cosmic passage gate represented a miniature universe.

“Rise!”

“Rise!”

One by one, True Gods—some giant dark green plant lifeforms, some winding and coiling exotic beast True Gods, some towering mountain lifeforms—all the True Gods of the Primal Universe had come to the Galaxy Holy Land to construct cosmic passages. This was to ensure that rescue teams could reach any miniature universe as quickly as possible.

In the past, True Gods dared not enter other miniature universes, because once inside, their life and death would be controlled by the owner.

But now, it was different!

The power of a miniature universe's core was limited, even slightly inferior to Luo Feng's Universe in a Thought. In the past, True Gods, without mechanical-type treasures or even most without palace supreme true treasures, could be easily killed by the core power of a miniature universe. Even with a palace supreme true treasure, they would be easily suppressed and never escape.

But now, True Gods were stronger and possessed mechanical-type treasures, so even the core power of a miniature universe couldn't suppress them.

“Galaxy.”

“Galaxy Lord.”

“Galaxy Lord.”

When Luo Feng appeared, the True Gods who had built the cosmic passages and remained there all responded, their expressions naturally showing a hint of respect. The Universe Ocean was a place where strength spoke loudest, and the strong were revered! The Galaxy Lord's power was unquestionable, and now, as the hope of all races, how could they be disrespectful?

“Everyone.” Luo Feng surveyed the large group of True Gods around him. “In this catastrophe, our Primal Universe must unite. Among humanity, True Gods with exceptionally large divine bodies are extremely rare. However, among you, there are many with exceptionally large divine bodies. When facing the Beast Hordes, we will have to rely on all of you.”

This was the truth.

Almost all True Gods among humanity were Universe Masters from billions of eras ago, along with a few newly risen geniuses like Fire Dome True God. Because humans naturally had small divine bodies, even with clone techniques, it was rare for anyone to have a very large divine body. However, some mountain lifeforms, tree-like plant lifeforms, and others naturally possessed enormous divine bodies.

“We will do our utmost.”

“We will fight to the death.”

One by one, the True Gods responded.

Luo Feng nodded gently, but his expression showed no sign of ease; he couldn't relax.

“Luo Feng.” In the distance, several streaks of light suddenly appeared and landed instantly. It was Chaos City Lord, Nine Nether True Master, and a group of other True Gods.

“Teacher.” Luo Feng immediately went to greet him.

Chaos City Lord said solemnly, “As you predicted, the Beast Hordes have begun to invade the miniature universes of the outermost First Reincarnation Era. The vast Beast Horde cannot be stopped.”

Luo Feng remained silent.

Of course, he knew. Through Moluosa, he was aware of all the Beast Hordes' movements, but what could he do with that knowledge?

“Galaxy Lord, save my Hai Clan.”

“Galaxy Lord, save my rampant clansmen.”

“Galaxy Lord…”

One by one, True Gods pleaded for help.

The True Gods of the First Reincarnation Era and Second Reincarnation Era, upon learning that miniature universes were being invaded, panicked. They all cried for help, even those not yet under attack. However, neither humanity nor any other race in the entire Primal Universe sent reinforcements!

“Sorry.”

“There’s nothing we can do.”

“Everyone, if you cannot resist, then flee for your lives.” Luo Feng's reply was polite, but the coldness in his words brought despair to the First Reincarnation Era and Second Reincarnation Era.

Whether it was Luo Feng, Chaos City Lord, or Nine Nether True Master.

They all refused.

There was no room for negotiation!

“This is the cruelest moment in the entire Universe Ocean,” Nine Nether True Master said in a low voice.

Chaos City Lord merely said, “This is… a catastrophe!”

Luo Feng looked at the distant void. He knew that in that direction, another miniature universe of the Hai Clan was being devoured. Against this, he was powerless, able only to watch everything unfold.

…

“Hai Lord, what will happen to my Hai Clan?”

“It’s over.”

Outside a miniature universe, thousands of Beast Hordes were scattered everywhere, all enveloped in black mist. Streaks of twisted light penetrated the void. At this moment, thousands of Beast Hordes were simultaneously devouring the same miniature universe. The speed at which the miniature universe's core was being consumed terrified the Hai Clan True Gods; in just a few minutes, a miniature universe would be completely devoured.

“I am Hai Lord! One of the Eight Hegemons of the Universe Ocean. I am willing to surrender to you Beast Hordes, I only ask that you spare my Hai Clan.” Hai Lord directly pleaded for surrender.
