The half-crippled giant beast was no longer complete.
However, its power was still extremely terrifying.
"Boom!"
Because the distance was too close, Luo Fan had no time to unleash another secret technique to block it.
The giant beast slammed directly into him.
Luo Fan was knocked back a certain distance.
As for Lord Ice Peak, because his incarnation was relatively weak,
Luo Fan feared that his teacher's incarnation would be instantly killed by Lord Nianjiao.
Although Luo Fan himself did not lack divine power and could create incarnations at will,
Lord Ice Peak did not possess such abundant divine power. Each incarnation had to be carefully preserved.
With the protection of his domain, Luo Fan quickly stabilized his divine body.
That giant beast's attack was indeed terrifying to others.
But to Luo Fan, it could not inflict much damage.
The divine power he lost was restored almost instantly.
Previously, when his Mechanical Race clone had reached perfect genes, he had obtained an innate secret technique that could reduce any attack he suffered to one ten-thousandth of its original power.
And at this moment, Luo Fan was wearing peak-tier supreme treasure armor.
Now, Lord Nianjiao's attack was directly reduced to one-billionth of its original power.
For Luo Fan, it caused almost no real harm.
Although he had lost a bit of divine power,
compared to his more than 90,000-kilometer divine body, it recovered in an instant.
Sensing that Luo Fan's aura had not weakened in the slightest, Lord Nianjiao was not particularly surprised.
After all, he still believed this to be Luo Fan's Spatial Worm clone.
Other Spatial Worms in the universe were not as massive as Luo Fan's clone,
but they were still quite large.
So Lord Nianjiao was not surprised that Luo Fan's aura showed no decline.
Moreover, to make a Universe Master's aura weaken, one had to consume a considerable amount of their divine power.
An aura decline primarily represented a drop in strength.
Universe Masters possessed extremely powerful wills.
Unlike Immortal beings, whose strength would begin to drop after losing more than ten percent of their divine power.
At the same time, making a Universe Master fall into slumber was very difficult.
Because their wills were extremely powerful,
sometimes even with only one percent of their divine power remaining, they would still not fall into slumber.
This was also why Universe Masters were rarely enslaved.
Lord Nianjiao had no intention of stopping his attacks.
He directly unleashed another secret technique.
Earlier, he had already sensed the power of Luo Fan's Annihilation Divine Light.
Although it was inferior to his own secret technique,
it still possessed peak fourth-tier power.
Killing Luo Fan was basically impossible.
Even if it were possible, it would likely require a very long battle to slowly grind him down.
Therefore, his most important task now was to stall Luo Fan.
To stall until the three races' Universe Strongest arrived.
Especially the Insect Race Queen.
Because to completely kill Luo Fan, a soul attack had to be used.
Otherwise, as long as even one incarnation remained, Luo Fan would not die.
Dream Demon Ancestor was not skilled in soul attacks.
The Mechanical Race Father God did not even possess a soul.
Thus, only the Insect Race Queen had the possibility of instantly killing Luo Fan.
A seventh-tier soul attack, even if Luo Fan possessed top-tier or even peak-tier soul supreme treasures, would be impossible to resist.
Under the Insect Race Queen's terrifying attack, he would be killed in a single strike.
As for Dream Demon Ancestor and the Mechanical Race Father God, their main purpose in coming was to see if they could find an opportunity to surround and kill Giant Axe.
After all, the three races knew that if Luo Fan was in danger, Giant Axe would certainly come to reinforce him.
With Giant Axe's speed, although it was not as fast as coming directly from the Primal Universe,
as a Universe Strongest capable of turning words into law, his speed was still extremely fast.
Seeing Lord Nianjiao launch another attack, Luo Fan did not hesitate and continued to unleash Annihilation Divine Light to offset the power of the opponent's attacks.
Luo Fan was very pleased with Lord Nianjiao's time-stalling behavior.
With wormholes in place, unless the three races' Universe Strongest were directly following behind Lord Nianjiao,
they could not possibly arrive faster than Giant Axe.
If the three races' Universe Strongest had truly been following behind Lord Nianjiao, they would have already appeared and killed Luo Fan.
Thus, the two sides began stalling each other.
…
Virtual Universe, Giant Axe Divine Hall.
"How is it, Hun Yuan?"
"Can Lord Nianjiao cause you any harm?"
"If you can't hold on and your divine power consumption becomes too great, run immediately."
"It's just Lord Nianjiao. He is not as important as you."
Giant Axe looked at Luo Fan as he spoke.
The other Universe Masters were also present.
Upon hearing that Luo Fan and Lord Ice Peak had encountered Lord Nianjiao's interception, everyone's divine power incarnations had entered the Virtual Universe.
Luo Fan smiled and waved his hand confidently.
"It's fine. Lord Nianjiao can barely cause me any harm."
"Even if I stand still and let him attack continuously, he wouldn't be able to exhaust my divine power in tens of thousands of years."
Luo Fan was not exaggerating. With Lord Nianjiao's current attacks, they truly could not deal significant damage to him.
Moreover, he still had his Spatial Worm clone and Mechanical Race clone.
Not to mention the numerous incarnations.
These clones and incarnations could continuously replenish Luo Fan's divine power.
Hearing Luo Fan's words, everyone finally relaxed.
Then they shifted the topic.
"How much longer until Giant Axe arrives?"
"Did you bring a sealing supreme treasure?"
"Lord Nianjiao has a top-tier palace supreme treasure. Without a sealing supreme treasure, we might only be able to drive him into dangerous regions and kill him there."
Since Luo Fan confirmed he was safe, everyone began considering the possibility of suppressing Lord Nianjiao.
They were very tempted by Luo Fan's proposal.
Lord Nianjiao held a high status within the Demon Race.
After all, he was a fifth-tier Universe Master.
Moreover, his will was extremely strong, with a slight possibility of breaking through to become a Universe Strongest.
The Demon Race would not easily abandon such a Universe Master.
If he were suppressed, they could negotiate with the Demon Race.
At the very least, they could force the Demon Race to withdraw from the three-race alliance and stop suppressing the Human Race.
As for pulling the Demon Race into the Human Race's camp to deal with the other two races, that was impossible.
Recently, the Human Race's momentum had been too strong.
The World Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion and Luo Fan's emergence were both reasons the three races were suppressing the Human Race.
Unless the Human Race was willing to sell the World Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion, other forces would not stop suppressing them.
However, how could the Human Race possibly sell such a strategic resource?
Precisely because they understood the potion's effects, they would never sell it.
In the few hundred years since the potion's appearance, many geniuses had already broken through with its help.
There were even Stellar-level and Universe-level geniuses who, after consuming the World Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion, had broken through to World Master.
This terrifying growth speed made the Human Race value the potion even more.
Thus, selling it was out of the question.
Even smuggling was strictly monitored.
Every single vial of World Master-level Bloodline Evolution Potion was numbered.
Its user had to be registered.
If any discrepancy occurred, all personnel responsible for that vial would be held accountable.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for alien races to obtain the potion.
This meant that even if they successfully suppressed Lord Nianjiao this time, at most they could only make the Demon Race temporarily halt its suppression of the Human Race.
However, as the main force in suppressing the Human Race,
if the Demon Race stopped first, the Human Race would gain considerable breathing room.
Additionally, they could exchange Lord Nianjiao for supreme treasures.
Given his status, exchanging him for several peak-tier supreme treasures would not be a problem.
Very quickly, everyone finalized the plan.
They all agreed that Luo Fan should not reveal the power of the incarnations' combined attack.
This trump card could allow Luo Fan to have a chance to escape even when facing a Universe Strongest.
If it were exposed, it would be disadvantageous.
After all, the incarnations themselves were relatively weak.
Using a combined attack against a Universe Strongest was not easy.
A combined attack required preparation time.
A Universe Strongest could severely wound the incarnations before the combined attack fully formed.
With only second-tier Universe Master strength, a Universe Strongest could kill large numbers of incarnations in a single strike.
Even though Luo Fan's incarnations all had enormous divine bodies,
the gap of five tiers or more was simply too great.
Therefore, such a trump card was best used at a critical moment.
The incarnations had not returned for this reason.
They were merely staying far behind Lord Nianjiao, at the exit of Natural Wormhole Number Fifteen.
At the same time, several incarnations were heading back toward Natural Wormhole Number Fifteen.
Their main task was to check when the three races' Universe Strongest would arrive.
If they came too quickly, Luo Fan would have to consider retreating.
Hearing everyone's questions, Giant Axe spoke directly.
"Because of the wormholes established by Luo Fan's Spatial Worm clone,"
"even though I am currently deep within the Inclined Peak Realm, I can reach Luo Fan's location within a day."
Hearing this, everyone felt even more confident about this operation.
…
Soon, a full day passed.
Luo Fan was still exchanging attacks with Lord Nianjiao.
For Universe Masters of similar strength, fighting for an entire day was perfectly normal.
After all, Universe Masters possessed abundant divine power.
Moreover, those who ventured into the Universe Sea generally had decent armor supreme treasures.
Under normal circumstances, killing a Universe Master of equal strength was extremely difficult.
One had to slowly grind away their divine power.
And even then, it required possessing a sufficiently powerful domain supreme treasure.
Otherwise, it would not be difficult for the opponent to escape.
Lord Nianjiao remained patient, continuously unleashing secret techniques against Luo Fan.
However, at that moment, a massive wormhole suddenly appeared behind Lord Nianjiao.
From within the wormhole surged an endless sea of flames.
Lord Nianjiao's expression changed drastically.
He knew exactly what this sea of flames was.
It was Giant Axe's peak-tier domain supreme treasure.
Sure enough, the next moment, a figure stepped out from the wormhole.
It was Giant Axe.
