Swallowed Star

No matter how composed Darkness Master was, at this moment, he too was unable to contain his emotions. Throughout the entire Universe Ocean, who could capture over 70 universe masters in one go?

“Rise!”

Holding his breath, Darkness Master held out his right arm. Instantly, that black pyramid flew out from his palm and started to grow at a crazy speed. In a blink of the eye, it had transformed into a lofty tower that was a 100 million kilometers tall. At the same time, a deep abyss also appeared at the base of the pyramid. The black pyramid took aim at the black, disc-shaped palace true treasure before it right away.

Luo Feng watched and smiled. In his palm, another Ancient God Eye appeared. Now, there were two Ancient God Eyes—one with Mosha body, the other with his original body.

“Go!”

Luo Feng positioned his palm to face the disc-shaped palace true treasure, and the surrounding godly ocean water automatically parted to give way to a route. In fact, even if there were occasional interferences, Luo Feng’s willpower would not be greatly affected.

Hong!

The invisible impact of his willpower swept toward the disc, which contained a total of 72 universe masters. After being hit by this bout of impact from his willpower, 65 universe masters lost consciousness. Only seven remained awake. They had extremely strong willpower and were the true elites of the entire team. These seven universe masters had a total of 11 godly bodies.

“It’s the impact of willpower!”

“Block it!”

“Bai Er, what should we do?”

The seven universe masters with their 11 godly bodies were panicking. The other universe masters who had weaker willpower were all knocked out, so there was no way they could render any help. With only seven left, how were they going to resist? Plus, the other palace true treasures of the Freedom Alliance were at least ten billion kilometers away. Help would not arrive as quickly as they needed it.

“Black Prison Tower is swallowing.”

“Block it!”

“Hang on! If we are sucked into Black Prison Tower, we are finished!”

The seven universe masters were in a heightened state of panic and were losing their minds with every passing moment.

No matter how insanely they fought, their efforts to resist were futile. Previously, they’d had many universe masters, so they could wipe out the godly ocean water obstacles that surrounded them. With concerted efforts, they had overcome the obstacles placed in their way by Five-Color Aurora Lake and Golden County. But now that they were left with only seven universe masters, manipulating their palace true treasures to move was difficult. Now, they were facing the danger of being sucked into Black Prison Tower.

If it was only being swallowed by Black Prison Tower, perhaps they could still put up a fight to counterattack.

But there was also the annoying godly ocean water in their surroundings, which was dealing them multiple blows and pushing them steadily toward their doom. This godly ocean was pushing their palace true treasure in the direction of Black Prison Tower!

“No, there is no way I can block it.”

“I’m unable to block it! No, no!” These universe masters, albeit most unwillingly, were annihilated.

…

In the faraway core ground of the Freedom Alliance—on the island that was seated in the middle of the endless golden waves—over 400 universe masters and Shi Hua Island Leader had all left their godly avatars.

“We are unable to block it.”

“We are hit by the impact of the willpower. Only seven of us, who are barely able to resist it, remain. And we are also under a double oppressive force by Five-Color Aurora Lake and the godly ocean water. Now, with Black Prison Tower swallowing… we are unable to put up further resistance. The palace is heading toward that Black Prison Tower now.”

“Everyone, please save us.”

On the numerous thrones, especially those in one particular section, various godly avatars of universe masters sat. None made a single move. They had all lost consciousness. Only the seven who could resist the impact were left, and they were all extremely worried.

“We are too far away. There is no way we can make it there in time.”

“We are facing double obstructions by the godly ocean waters and Five-Color Aurora Lake. The hindering force is far too great! It is simply impossible to accelerate—simply impossible to reach light speed, not to mention about entering the dark universe. How, how?”

Groups of universe masters in the other palace true treasures might not be facing any fatal risks, but seeing how their fellow alliance members were being attacked, they could not help but worry and panic about facing the same fate.

Suddenly, the seven universe masters, who had been anxious a moment ago, showed looks of despair as they said, “We are being swallowed by Black Prison Tower!”

“All 72 of us universe masters have been swallowed by Black Prison Tower.”

Instantly, everything in the surroundings quietened down. 72 universe masters? Heavens! It was just a short moment of peace and quiet. Then, soon enough, those universe masters from the Freedom Alliance who had managed to survive the ordeal grew even more anxious.

“It was that item with impactful willpower. It was that item with impactful willpower! If not for that, with over 70 universe masters combining forces, even if we were temporarily trapped in the godly ocean waters, that Black Tower Prison will not be able to swallow us all.”

“True. So long as that treasure is around, our advantage of having greater numbers will no longer exist. Over 70 universe masters… In an instant, 90 percent were knocked out, and only seven are left to continue resisting.”

“What should we do?”

“If we had known this earlier, we would not have divided ourselves into six teams. If we were all combined in one team, with over 400 universe masters gathered together, I think at least a few dozen universe masters would be able to resist the impact of being hit by that willpower. Also, with Shi Hua Island Leader around, we would not be taking such a passive approach.”

“Who could have expected Luo Feng would come up with this endless godly ocean water to trap us?”

The Freedom Alliance was filled with apprehension. Earlier, they had decided on splitting up into six teams for two reasons. For one thing, there would be six major factions to deal with the human camp; for another, if they planned to join the united forces alliance, even if any of these six teams were hit by the impactful willpower, at least only part of the alliance would be affected. If they all congregated at the same place, it would mean that their combat power was straight away reduced by 90 percent.

“Hahaha!”

At that moment, even Darkness Master, who was usually so composed and aloof, could not contain his emotions any further. He broke into hearty laughter. That huge, black pyramid shrank rapidly to land within his palm.

“Over 70 universe masters, all captured in one swift move!” Darkness Master stood amidst the mighty godly ocean water and could not help gloating. “Comparing all the universe supreme masters in Universe Ocean, I suppose there won’t be many who have achieved such a great feat.”

Then he looked toward Luo Feng, who was by his side.

He knew that to be able to achieve something so great, there were, of course, many unique factors. For one, they had a strange object like the Ancient God Eye. With its impactful willpower, they could deprive opponents of the advantage of greater numbers. Secondly, with the godly ocean waters and the Five-Color Aurora Lake intertwining and surrounding the enemy, there was no way the opponent could escape. Thirdly, Luo Feng had been—unexpectedly—capable of blocking a soul attack that was jointly launched by over 800 universe masters and over ten supreme masters! This had rendered the united forces alliance helpless before Luo Feng, so they could only struggle within his Remote Ocean.

Darkness Master looked at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, we have you to thank this time around.”

“Luck,” said Luo Feng. He shook his head. “A combination of various factors allowed us to make it this far. Not one could have been left out. As for my Remote Ocean… moving it about is extremely tough. If the united forces alliance had been able to escape, I think it would have been very difficult to come by another opportunity like this.”

Moving the vast Remote Ocean was indeed extremely tough. If enemies were far off, there wasn’t much Remote Ocean could do. If they had managed to escape this time, they would have had no trouble making it further than this area—a few light years away—unless the humans remained hidden within this area under the influence of the Remote Ocean. If not, once they left this area of influence, without the protection of Remote Ocean, they were bound to be trampled on!

“That’s why!” Darkness Master said in his cold voice, “we need to make good use of this opportunity. Make them fall into your remote ocean, then, in one swift move, capture as many as we can! That way, the number of universe masters in our human camp will greatly increase.”

“True.” Luo Feng nodded with a solemn expression. “Such an opportunity is hard to come by. We must capture as many universe masters as we can.”

******

Within Black Prison Tower.

Upon being captured, the 72 universe masters from various races heard a voice the moment they fell into that endless dark space, “Dear all from Freedom Alliance, do not worry. So long as you do not treat us as your enemies, and express your willingness to help us, we, humans, will not harm any of you.”

“We are willing to help the humans.”

“We are willing to help!”

“We are willing to join the human camp.”

Many universe masters of the various races were already in great despair, which was why, when they heard the voice, they immediately shouted to express their willingness. Joining the humans’ side was what they had originally intended to do in the past; it was just that Purple Moon Holy Land had offered them more appealing terms. This was why they had decided to help the united forces alliance. Yet, no matter how great the potential benefit, nothing mattered more than being alive.

All of them surrendered. Even those who had other bodies and were thus not facing any life-threatening danger were willing to surrender to the humans! After all, they were unwilling to give up the godly bodies that were mainly used in war. Furthermore, they were also unwilling to give up on the various true treasures they had spent countless years accumulating!

******

Because Five-Color Aurora Lake and Golden Country were joining forces to keep Xi Qu Starlight River suppressed, the united forces alliance and the Freedom Alliance were unable to promptly learn of each other’s situation. Northern Territory Alliance Master then crossed the distance to directly contact Shi Hua Island Leader, who updated him on the situation.

“The humans have combined the powers of a treasure with impactful willpower, Black Prison Tower, godly ocean water, and Five-Color Aurora Lake when fighting us. They have already captured one of the Freedom Alliance’s teams.”

“What…?”

This piece of news shocked Northern Territory Alliance Master. The humans’ main power was still fighting the united forces alliance. Godly powers were bombarding one another as the battle raged on. So, what was happening here was only for show. The real deal was over at the other side.

Northern Alliance Master quickly transmitted a voice message. “Everyone! The human camp is using a combination of various true treasures, the treasure with impactful willpower, Black Prison Tower, godly ocean water, and several others. They have already captured one of the teams from our Freedom Alliance. Proceed with the utmost caution. Do not let the humans get their way.”

With a move of intention, he transmitted the message via the conscious mind. He had to send the information to every other universe supreme master.

A move of intention was a unique method used by a universe supreme master. To reach the level of a universe master from a normal ordinary great being, they all had to rely on the primal universe origin. Everything about them—for instance, their godly powers—was dependent on what the primal universe origin bestowed upon them, which was why there were numerous laws of the universe origin that they were unable to resist no matter how strong they were. The reason was simply because the source of their strength originated from the primal universe origin.

As for universe supreme masters, they would have their own universe! They relied on themselves! As a result, they could easily resist the beckoning of the dark universe and easily exceed the speed of light to continue to remain within the space of the primal universe. They could also glide across vast stretches of time and space to land somewhere far away.

Of course, they had weaknesses too. For instance, the talent technique given by the primal universe, the ability to divide bodies, along with some other talent techniques, would all be taken away. The primal universe would no longer bestow any kindness to them. They would have to depend on themselves in all aspects.

“Not good!” Father God of automaton race also transmitted his thoughts. Anxiously, he said, “We cannot allow the humans to capture universe masters from the Freedom Alliance as they please. There are many universe masters in the Freedom Alliance. If they are captured by the humans, I’m afraid they will quickly switch sides over to the human camp. By then, the human camp will increase in strength. Even without this godly power of ocean water or any other devious means, they will not fear us at all.”

“Hurry.”

“We shall leave this area under the influence of the remote ocean right away. And we will do our best to help the Freedom Alliance, one team at a time. The more teams we help, the fewer teams the humans capture! The Freedom Alliance has a total of six teams, and one of them is headed by Shi Hua Island Leader, which means the humans will be able to capture as many as five teams. That means over 300 universe masters… Once they are all captured, the number of universe masters in the human camp will soar to more than 500, which makes up more than half the number of universe masters in the entire primal universe! By then, for all eternity, we will no longer be able to suppress the humans.”

“Hurry.”

The united forces alliance was growing anxious, but they were also clear that understanding what to do was one thing; whether they could achieve it or not was another story altogether.
