"To bestow such a treasure upon his younger brother for protection—what doting affection!"
The Yu Chi Master's expression returned to calm, but his heart was filled with emotion, "Void River Master is the strongest among the Human Race, second only to Huge Axe Creator, but he wouldn't go so far as to give his younger brother so many precious treasures, would he?"
The Yuan Chen Alliance is one of the Twelve top-tier forces. Without a True God of such a great existence presiding over it, they were unwilling to offend Void River Master, whose strength in the Original Universe could rival a True God.
Otherwise, with Venerable Radiance's immense wealth, the Yu Chi Master would have wanted to invite Siphon Easy Master, the leader of the Yuan Chen Alliance, to descend!
It should be known that the Yu Chi Master's Blazing Palace is a high-level sealing palace-type Arcana treasure of decent quality.
Within the Human Race, this multi-functional flying palace-type Arcana treasure is valued at approximately 700 to 800 Arcana Treasure Points.
Yet, in the Yu Chi Master's view, the Human Venerable Radiance, a mere High-level Venerables, could resist his suppression by driving a flying palace-type Arcana treasure.
The palace Arcana treasure on his person is at least of equal value to his Blazing Palace, and it might even be an extremely rare top-grade one!
A Universe Master possessing a top-grade high-level flying palace-type Arcana treasure can roam the Universe like the Skywolf Lord, which shows how rare such treasures are!
…
Inside the Light Shadow Palace.
The words that escaped the Yu Chi Master's lips were heard by everyone in the hall.
"This Light Shadow Palace is indeed a high-level Arcana treasure!"
"Even the Yu Chi Master's high-level sealing palace-type Arcana treasure cannot suppress it…"
"High-level flying palace-type Arcana treasures, if I'm not mistaken, treasures of this Rank start at 200 Arcana Treasure Points in the Treasure Vault of the Race!"
Venerable Bloodwing and the others were quite surprised to hear this, not expecting that even the Yu Chi Master, who possessed a sealing-type Arcana treasure, could do nothing against the Light Shadow Palace, which showed how precious this palace Arcana treasure was.
"While the Yu Chi Master cannot Seal my Light Shadow Palace, it doesn't mean we can rest easy."
Nineteen said, "Universe Master have many methods. Perhaps the Yu Chi Master has some means to take the Light Shadow Palace away."
Venerable Bloodwing worried, "Universe Master have the ability to control space and time. Combined with a Domain-type Arcana treasure, they can completely suppress the Light Shadow Palace, leaving us with no power to resist."
Lord of Ganwu, Venerable Night Bright, and Venerable Aurora all felt their hearts sink upon hearing this, but then their expressions changed.
Boom!
A terrifying fluctuation instantly descended, simultaneously enveloping the entire 775th Original Star. The terrifying spatial restraint that had been suppressing the Universe Venerables of various forces was instantly shattered.
"Control over space and time has failed!"
"Another Universe Master has descended and is contending for control of space and time."
"I wonder which Universe Master has descended this time…"
The Universe Master of various forces communicated via telepathy. This was the second Universe Master to descend in order to seize the Hundred Birds Valley token.
…
Outside a vortex passage on the 77th Original Star.
"Yu Chi Master."
A giant beast, thousands of kilometers long and enveloped in a dazzling light, descended, and an endless aura permeated the area.
"Eh? You still haven't captured the Human Venerable Radiance. Are you perhaps afraid of Void River Master causing you trouble?"
The giant beast, enveloped in dazzling light, spoke, its voice passing through layers of space and directly reaching the Yu Chi Master, who was in the distant sky.
"Lord of Eternal Sleep."
The Yu Chi Master turned to look, his gaze seemingly penetrating layers of spatial mountains, rocks, and dirt to see the newly descended majestic giant beast.
"If your Yuan Chen Alliance is afraid of the Human Race and Void River Master, why not hand Venerable Radiance over to my Northern Territory Alliance?"
The Lord of Eternal Sleep chuckled, "My Northern Territory Alliance is not afraid of humans, nor are we afraid of Void River Master."
"Heh heh, don't boast."
The Yu Chi Master sneered, "When we were contending for the crucial components of the Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor, you, Lord of Eternal Sleep, were easily suppressed by Void River Master.
"If Void River Master hadn't been so eager to seize the treasure, you would probably have fallen in that palace!"
"You also lost to Void River Master, watching him take away a top-tier Arcana treasure."
The Lord of Eternal Sleep's expression changed, and he snorted coldly, "We are all the same. No one has the right to criticize anyone else!"
"Hmph!"
The Yu Chi Master snorted, tempted to mock the Overflowing Devil Master for his defeat as well, but he held back.
The Yuan Chen Alliance was not a superpower, and he saw no need to offend several Universe Master of the Northern Territory Alliance for the sake of a verbal spat.
"The palace Arcana treasure that the Human Venerable Radiance is riding is a high-level flying palace-type Arcana treasure of extremely high quality."
The Yu Chi Master said coldly, "Even I, with my 'Blazing Palace', am helpless, let alone you!"
"A high-level flying palace-type Arcana treasure of extremely high quality?!"
The Lord of Eternal Sleep's eyes showed astonishment, "How can a High-level Venerables like him possess such a precious Arcana treasure? Coupled with a high-level Domain-type Arcana treasure, it's simply too extravagant!"
He, a Third-rank Universe Master, used only high-level Arcana treasures for his Domain and flying palace-type items. In terms of quality, they were inferior to those of a High-level Venerables.
It was simply… completely topsy-turvy!
Soon, the Lord of Eternal Sleep adjusted his mood and asked, "What do you plan to do now?"
The Yu Chi Master fell silent, not directly answering the question, because he was also in a dilemma!
He had the ability to control space and time, and he was protected by a high-level Domain-type Arcana treasure. Suppressing a palace Arcana treasure driven by a High-level Venerables was easy, but bringing it back to the Yuan Chen Alliance was not.
Boom!
Just as the Yu Chi Master was in a dilemma, another Universe Master descended, causing every inch of space on the entire Original Star to tremble.
Previously, the Yu Chi Master and the Lord of Eternal Sleep were contending for control of a spatial area, and now there was another contender!
"Hmm? Venerable Youmo?"
The Yu Chi Master's gaze penetrated through layers of space to see a dark red figure.
He was clad in dark red scales, with sharp blades growing at his joints and sharp, pointed fingers, like a humanoid killing machine.
The newcomer… was none other than Phantom Blood Master!
"No! He should be called Phantom Blood Master."
The Lord of Eternal Sleep's voice rang out, correcting the Yu Chi Master's mistaken address.
"A newly ascended Universe Master dares to venture into the Original Star?" The Yu Chi Master was somewhat puzzled.
The Lord of Eternal Sleep's voice echoed beside the two Universe Master, "Phantom Blood Master, as a newly ascended Universe Master, why are you not cultivating your strength in the core of the Human Territory, but instead have come to the Original Star?"
"The Powerhouses of my Human Alliance have seized the Hundred Birds Valley token, so I have naturally come to provide support."
Phantom Blood Master's hoarse voice sounded, "Yu Chi Master, release him."
"Come to support? Others haven't been taken away, but you're the one who's been left behind."
The Lord of Eternal Sleep fanned the flames, "Yu Chi Master, can a newly ascended Universe Master scare you?"
"Human Phantom Blood Master, if you want to take him away, then let your strength do the talking!" The Yu Chi Master coldly retorted.
Even if it were only a Third-rank Universe Master, he would have let him take Venerable Radiance away, but the newcomer was the newly ascended Phantom Blood Master.
The Yuan Chen Alliance was indeed inferior to the Human Alliance. When it was time to bow… one had to bow!
But the Yuan Chen Alliance was still one of the Twelve top-tier forces. If a newly ascended Universe Master were to take someone away, how could the Yuan Chen Alliance establish itself in the Universe? How could he, an old Third-rank Universe Master, continue to roam the Universe?
"Then… let's fight."
Phantom Blood Master didn't waste words, transforming into a dark red stream of light and flying towards the Yu Chi Master.
"Fight then!"
The Yu Chi Master glanced at the Light Shadow Palace, then directly transformed into a crimson stream of light and went to meet the challenge.
"Phantom Blood Master, this newly ascended Universe Master, actually dares to fight the Yu Chi Master."
The Lord of Eternal Sleep, who had been fanning the flames, saw that a great battle was about to begin, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. "Could it be that he has been a Universe Master for an extremely long time and has secretly elevated his strength to third-stage combat power?"
It is very difficult for a Universe Master to improve their strength, as this involves three major aspects: treasures, secret techniques, and life gene level. Improving each aspect often requires a significant investment of time.
Among the thousands of Universe Master in the Original Universe, most are second-stage Universe Master who have cultivated for a long time to create secret techniques and improve their life gene level.
Only by becoming a second-stage Universe Master can one have basic safety guarantees when active in the Original Universe; otherwise, there will be a high risk of falling.
After all, a Top-tier Universe Overlord can already rival a first-stage Universe Master!
…
Inside the Light Shadow Palace.
Nineteen and the others all heard the verbal sparring of the three Universe Master, and they also learned that Phantom Blood Master was about to fight the Yu Chi Master.
"Is Senior Martial Uncle fighting the Yu Chi Master too risky?" Venerable Night Bright whispered worriedly.
"Trust Phantom Blood Master!"
Venerable Bloodwing said in a deep voice, "Since Phantom Blood Master dares to fight, he must have the confidence to do so against the Yu Chi Master."
"That's right."
Lord of Ganwu nodded at this point, "Based on my understanding of Phantom Blood Master, the outcome of this battle is uncertain."
Nineteen and Venerable Aurora did not speak. They knew very little about Phantom Blood Master, so they naturally couldn't offer an opinion.
However, they all knew that before Phantom Blood Master became a Universe Master, his title was Venerable Youmo, and he was the Universe Venerable most skilled in slaughter within the Human Race!
Such a Powerhouse, skilled in slaughter, would presumably not challenge an enemy he could not defeat.
…
Upon learning that a Universe Master was about to engage in a deadly battle, the Universe Venerables on the 775th Original Star all stirred.
"Go, hurry! Leave the 775th Original Star."
"A Universe Master is about to clash, we must leave as quickly as possible!"
"The aftermath of a Universe Master's battle is extremely terrifying. If you don't want to fall, leave as soon as possible!"
The Universe Venerables on the 775th Original Star, taking advantage of the three Universe Master contending for control of a spatial area, rushed towards the nearest vortex passage.
They dared not remain on this 775th Original Star, fearing being caught in the aftermath of the Universe Master's battle.
…
Virtual Universe, Combat Plane.
Endless Chaotic airflow surrounded numerous thrones.
Many of the Universe Venerables on the thrones, who were participating in the treasure-hunting operation, couldn't help but look towards the majestic throne enveloped by the Chaotic airflow.
The news that Phantom Blood Master of the Human Alliance was about to clash with the Yu Chi Master of the Yuan Chen Alliance had now reached the ears of the many Venerables present.
These Universe Venerables dared not converse or discuss, yet they couldn't help but harbor suspicions in their hearts.
Would Phantom Blood Master, as a newly ascended Universe Master, be a match for the veteran Universe Master, the Yu Chi Master?
Above the many thrones, within the Chaotic airflow, five Hongmeng Palace Masters were conversing in low voices.
"What is Phantom Blood Master thinking? Why would he agree to clash with the Yu Chi Master?!"
"Too impulsive. He shouldn't have been in charge of this treasure hunt."
"Yes, even though he has treasures gifted by humans, he is ultimately a newly ascended Universe Master. How can he be a match for the Yu Chi Master?"
"You all, do you think Phantom Blood Master dares to clash with the Yu Chi Master because he has some trump card?"
"Trump card? What trump card can bridge the gap between a newly ascended Universe Master and a Third-rank Universe Master?"
"The trump card I'm referring to is a high-quality high-level flying palace-type Arcana treasure, which can ensure Phantom Blood Master won't fall on the Original Star."
"Daring to clash with the Yu Chi Master just because he has a high-level palace-type Arcana treasure to save his life is too arrogant… Does he perhaps think he is Void River Master?"
The five Hongmeng Palace Masters conversed in low voices, all of them not optimistic about Phantom Blood Master, this newly ascended Universe Master.
Ultimately, the time Phantom Blood Master had been a Universe Master was too short, only ten thousand Epochs earlier than Star Prison Devil Lord.
Becoming a Universe Master for tens of thousands of Epochs sounds like a long time.
But in reality, for most Universe Master, this amount of time makes it difficult to even improve their strength to the Pinnacle of the second stage.
After all, Phantom Blood Master was just a very ordinary Universe Master, unlike a Prodigy existence like Void River Master, whose strength increased by several Ranks in less than ten thousand Epochs, directly becoming a rare sixth-stage Universe Master in the Original Universe.
His speed of progress… was unheard of!
…
Above the five Hongmeng Palace Masters in the Chaotic airflow.
"Teacher, these alien race Hall Masters believe Senior Martial Uncle will lose. They're simply boosting others' morale and dampening our own." Boya frowned.
"These alien race Hall Masters are weak, and have made no progress for countless years."
Ender said softly, "Based on their understanding, they naturally believe that our Human Universe Master should be like them.
"But how do they know that our Human Race is no longer what it once was, and its foundation is rarely seen even in the Universe Ocean."
Boya nodded, her gaze towards Ender filled with admiration.
From her conversations with other Human Universe Master, she learned that even when Ancestor Yuan was still alive, the Human Race's foundation wasn't this strong.
Because at that time, the Human Race's strength lay in having Ancestor Yuan, the strongest individual in the Universe Ocean.
But now it was different. The Human Race alone possessed over ten Xeon Arcana treasures, six of which were temporarily stored in the Treasure Vault of the Race by her teacher for the Human Race's Universe Master to comprehend.
The Human Race essentially lacked nothing in terms of high-level and top-tier Arcana treasures for Domain, Soul, and flying palace types. For the latter, the Treasure Vault of the Race stored five or more of each type.
In the past, there were indeed precious high-level Arcana treasures in stock in the Treasure Vault of the Race, but the quantity was pitifully small!
And for precious top-tier Arcana treasures, there were only one or two of each type in stock in the Treasure Vault of the Race, unlike the current extravagance.
If it weren't for the difficulty in collecting the Materials for refining precious top-tier Arcana treasures, the Human Race would have even more precious top-tier Arcana treasures.
Furthermore, the Human Race had obtained a precious Legacy, including the Burning Divine Power Secret Technique, which greatly improved the strength of the Universe Master. When jointly performing combined secret techniques, they could unleash even greater power.
And all these changes originated from her teacher's rise!
It could be said that the chain reaction caused by her teacher's rapid rise and subsequent nurturing of the race made the race grow stronger and stronger.
It's no exaggeration to say that the current Human Alliance is secretly the number one force in the Original Universe. The Ancestral God Sect is far inferior to the current Human Alliance in terms of high-end combat power!
"A bunch of frogs in a well, just watch."
Boya looked down at the five Hong Alliance alien race Hall Masters, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "When Senior Martial Uncle displays his true strength, you will know the true strength of our Human Universe Master!"
