In the Universe Sea, because of the endless chaotic airflow, what the eyes could see was somewhat limited.
However, for beings above the Undying level, what divine power could "see" far exceeded what the eyes could perceive.
Therefore, experts in the Universe Sea relied on divine power to probe their surroundings.
If they were heading into more dangerous areas, they would constantly deploy domain-type treasures to investigate the surroundings.
Previously, Luo Fan and the Lord of Ice Peak had been using divine power to probe the area.
However, probing with divine power certainly did not cover as wide a range as probing with a domain-type treasure.
Thus, they did not discover the figure that appeared behind them.
That person was the Lord of Nian Jiao of the demon race.
He was a very powerful Universe Master of the demon race.
During this period, the Lord of Nian Jiao had been staying here.
This was also a task assigned to him by his race.
What he needed to do was observe whether Luo Fan would head into the Universe Sea.
Since the human race's experts had suddenly returned to the Universe Sea, it was possible that Luo Fan would come as well.
Although the strength Luo Fan had previously displayed was only at the level of a top-tier Universe Overlord, Luo Fan possessed avatars.
After all, the three races also knew that Luo Fan had a Space Worm avatar.
Avatars were extremely suitable for exploration in the Universe Sea.
They could explore independently, or cooperate with human experts.
Therefore, at this time, the demon race was paying very close attention to the situation of these natural wormholes.
The Lord of Nian Jiao had been sent to monitor them.
He had previously been hiding in a concealed location.
Because Luo Fan and the Lord of Ice Peak had not used domain-type treasures, they did not detect him.
But although the two had not discovered the Lord of Nian Jiao, he had discovered them.
Just now, it was the Lord of Ice Peak who had teleported with Luo Fan all the way here.
The spatial fluctuations produced by teleportation were sensed by the Lord of Nian Jiao.
He calculated the timing. After the two entered Natural Wormhole Number Fifteen, he immediately came over to check who had passed through it.
Upon arriving, he instantly captured the residual aura of the Lord of Ice Peak.
In addition, there was another unfamiliar aura.
If he had arrived a little later, these auras might have dissipated.
However, he had been watching this place constantly.
After calculating that Luo Fan and the Lord of Ice Peak should have entered Natural Wormhole Number Fifteen, he immediately came to inspect the lingering aura.
The moment he detected the two residual auras, he immediately identified the owner of one of them.
It was the demon race's old opponent, the Lord of Ice Peak.
As a veteran Universe Master, the Lord of Nian Jiao was very familiar with the aura of the Lord of Ice Peak.
Although this was only an avatar of the Lord of Ice Peak, an avatar was identical to the original body in every aspect except strength.
Therefore, the aura it emitted was the same as that of the Lord of Ice Peak himself.
The moment he discovered this aura, the Lord of Nian Jiao immediately reported it to his race.
Just like the human race, the demon race, and most experts who ventured into the Universe Sea, would leave behind a divine power avatar within their own universe.
A divine power avatar was different from an avatar created by a secret technique.
If one used an avatar secret technique, after splitting off an avatar, one could still restore divine power to its peak state.
However, if one separated a divine power avatar, no matter what was done, one's divine power could never fully recover to its absolute peak.
Therefore, the amount of divine power separated to create a divine power avatar was usually very small.
After all, with the will of a Universe Master, even a trace of divine power could possess consciousness.
The strength of these divine power avatars was also relatively weak.
Although they would not be so weak that even an ordinary person could kill them, they were generally only at the level of an Immortal.
The primary purpose of these divine power avatars was communication.
In the Universe Sea, there was nothing like a Virtual Universe.
To communicate, one either needed an extremely precious communication token.
A high-quality token capable of long-distance communication could be worth no less than a peak supreme treasure.
Thus, very few people possessed such items.
Without a communication token, communication was impossible.
So these experts came up with a method, leaving behind a divine power avatar.
Although communication was impossible within the Universe Sea, it was possible within the Primal Universe or one's Small Universe.
Divine power avatars could log into virtual worlds such as the Virtual Universe.
They could use these virtual worlds to communicate with the divine power avatars of other experts of the same race.
After all, the consciousness of a divine power avatar was identical to that of the original body.
They could even meet and communicate face to face through their divine power avatars.
Now, the Lord of Nian Jiao was using the divine power avatar he had left within the demon race to inform the Dream Demon Ancestor of what he had discovered.
…
After learning of this matter, the Dream Demon Ancestor immediately notified the insect race and the mechanical race.
Soon, the three races noticed something unusual.
Previously, they already knew that the human race's Universe Masters had headed into the Universe Sea.
At that time, the Lord of Nian Jiao, who had been guarding the natural wormhole, had sensed it as well.
Moreover, the three races basically knew that the human race's Universe Masters had almost all set out.
Nearly all of them had entered the Universe Sea.
This was extremely rare in the past.
After all, some relatively weaker Universe Masters, such as the Lord of You Hou, who only possessed Tier Three strength, rarely ventured into the Universe Sea.
Furthermore, the human race's Universe Masters also had locations they needed to guard.
Thus, they would not all head into the Universe Sea at once.
Otherwise, what would happen if someone invaded?
Especially now, when the three races, and even many forces within the universe, were subtly suppressing the human race.
Yet the human race had all gone to the Universe Sea?
The first reaction of the three races was whether this was some sort of trap.
However, even if it was a trap, they intended to test it.
With the combined strength of the three races, the human race was no match.
After probing, they discovered that the important locations of the human race were still being guarded.
Moreover, the weakest among those guarding them were top-tier Universe Overlords.
Not only that, it was an unfamiliar top-tier Universe Overlord.
One must know that even Venerables, or even Undying beings, as long as they had appeared publicly, would be recorded by the three races.
In other words, this top-tier Universe Overlord of the human race was very likely a hidden expert.
However, many speculated that this was an avatar split from one of Luo Fan's other avatars.
After all, the only newly advanced top-tier Universe Overlord in the human race was Luo Fan.
And up to now, the three races did not possess very detailed information about Luo Fan.
They only knew that he had a Space Worm avatar.
Whether he had other avatars, they did not know.
Thus, they speculated that this might be an avatar split from one of Luo Fan's other avatars.
Just like Candli of the human race.
As for the aura, they believed that Luo Fan's Space Worm avatar likely constantly altered its aura to that of other races.
That was why this suddenly appearing top-tier Universe Overlord of the human race seemed so unfamiliar.
After accepting this speculation, the three races believed that perhaps the human race could still guard its important locations because of these top-tier Universe Overlords.
After all, so many top-tier Universe Overlords were sufficient to guard the key regions of the human race within the Primal Universe.
The experts of the three races did not know which Universe Masters of the human race had left avatars behind in the Primal Universe.
Thus, they did not dare to launch a final assault rashly.
Moreover, to eliminate the human race, those Universe Masters of the human race had to die.
Killing ordinary human experts would be useless.
As for the fact that all the human race's Universe Masters had gone to the Universe Sea, in their view, this was the human race's final struggle.
The human race likely wanted to search the Universe Sea for inheritances of ancient civilizations and supreme treasures.
Only in that way would they have hope of turning the situation around.
Otherwise, the current situation was like slowly boiling a frog in warm water.
They had also considered whether the human race had discovered some inheritance in the Universe Sea, which was why they had all set out.
However, the human race had been in the Universe Sea for a long time already.
Even if experts of the Hong Alliance had discovered something, they would first attempt to obtain the inheritance themselves. They would not immediately inform the human race.
After all, although the Universe Masters of the Hong Alliance were attached to the human race, if there was a chance to break through to Universe Strongest and elevate their race to a new peak race, they would not give up such an opportunity.
The three races' experts also noticed that the human race's Universe Masters were not gathered together but had split up.
This further confirmed their speculation.
If an inheritance had been discovered, they would definitely go together to attempt to obtain it, rather than splitting apart like this.
And now, they suddenly discovered something.
The Lord of Ice Peak, who had previously gone to the Universe Sea, had once again left residual aura at Natural Wormhole Number Fifteen.
The Lord of Ice Peak should still be within the Tilted Peak Realm.
Some demon race experts had even seen him there earlier.
Yet now another aura of the Lord of Ice Peak had been detected.
There could not possibly be two Lords of Ice Peak.
As for the unfamiliar aura that accompanied him, the three races' experts immediately made a guess.
It was very likely Luo Fan's aura.
Because the Space Worm avatar possessed a Transformation Technique, it was very possible that he had altered his aura from the very beginning.
Just as when Luo Fan went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he had used a false identity.
The Lord of Ice Peak was Luo Fan's teacher.
If Luo Fan were to venture into the Universe Sea, the one guiding him and helping him become familiar with it would very likely be the Lord of Ice Peak.
As a teacher, when a disciple ventured into the Universe Sea for the first time, guidance would certainly be necessary.
Therefore, that unfamiliar aura was very likely Luo Fan's.
However, they still had doubts.
The Lord of Ice Peak did not have avatars.
They had not detected him returning to the Primal Universe either.
Then why had the aura of the Lord of Ice Peak appeared again?
Although they could not figure it out, the three races still instructed the Lord of Nian Jiao to follow the two of them.
Since that unfamiliar aura was very likely Luo Fan's, testing it would reveal the truth.
The Dream Demon Ancestor, the Insect Empress, and the Mechanical Father God immediately set out toward Natural Wormhole Number Fifteen in the Universe Sea.
They intended to strangle this genius, who was very likely to break through to Universe Strongest, within the Universe Sea.
They would not allow the human race to produce another Original Ancestor.
