Reactions of the Various Races! Star River Master's Choice!
The Prison Race Ancestral Mountain.
Towering figures stood in the vast hall. These figures were either rock creatures engulfed in flames or burly, hairy creatures with no mouths on their heads, only one eye.
These powerful beings, some Flesh-type, some of rock, and some of metal, each with a different life form, all exude an endless aura of evil.
Inside the main hall.
A sinister figure, entirely silver and mottled with black, sat high on the throne. This sinister figure was humanoid, with a long, sharp scorpion-like tail that extended and even encircled half of the hall.
Beneath the silver shell, a pair of red eyes looked down.
This is the Demon Ancestor!
The Demon Ancestor of the Prison Race!
Under the guidance and strategy of the Demon Ancestor, the internal struggles and killings within the Prison Race were extremely fierce, and the hierarchical system was exceptionally strict. This also made every rising Prison Race powerhouse absolutely ruthless, insane, and brutal.
"Demon Ancestor!"
"News has already spread about the three major race alliance's encirclement and suppression of the human Lin Yan."
A cosmic ruler with black, sinister markings on his face and dozens of eyes gleaming with a faint silver light spoke with some respect.
"Finally, news has arrived, Thousand Spider Demon Lord. Has that human perished? Is there any possibility of resurrection?" The Demon Ancestor's voice made the Thousand Spider Demon Lord tremble.
The Thousand Spider Demon Lord was involved in the struggle for the Qi Mirror Stone. The Prison Race Alliance was unwilling to get involved, but it kept a close eye on the outcome.
"Uh..." The Thousand Spider Demon Lord hesitated slightly. "I have received information that the Three-Race Alliance is being besieged by nine Universe Lords led by three of the Universe's Strongest in the universe. Meanwhile, the Great Axe Founder is being held back by the Mechanical Race Father God, and the other Universe Lords of the Hong Alliance are unable to come to his aid. Lin Yan is fighting the Three-Race Alliance alone."
"The final result is... the Three-Race Alliance lost five Universe Lords, while human Lin Yan returned unharmed and safe!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
"What!"
"With the three Universe's Strongest personally descending to besiege him, how could he possibly escape? Not to mention the loss of five universe lords to the Three-Race Alliance."
"Qianzhu, where did you get this information? This is impossible!"
The hall erupted in commotion. Powerful beings were shocked, bewildered, and incredulous, including the Demon Ancestor on the throne above, whose eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt.
When the strongest member of the Prison Race learned of this, he never even considered the possibility that Lin Yan, let alone that such an outcome was simply a fairy tale.
Looking at the questioning eyes around him, the Thousand Spider Demon Lord couldn't help but smile bitterly. In truth, how could he dare to believe it?
However, to say it in such a setting, it's impossible that it was made up.
"This news was transmitted through our Prison Race's intelligence network throughout the Primordial Universe. After verification from multiple sources, it should be the human race that initiated the transmission. Their morale is high, but the Three-Race Alliance has remained silent. There shouldn't be any problems," said the Thousand Spider Demon Lord.
"It is said that the human Lord Xuanyuan 'Lin Yan' can unleash a powerful move similar to the Lord of Nine Nether. The damage caused by the secret technique is comparable to that of a sixth-tier being. Moreover, he can recover immediately after Self-destruct attack. He directly killed four universe lords, which is incredibly unbelievable. Even the three Universe's Strongest had no way to deal with him."
"Comparable to a sixth-tier opponent?"
"Self-destruct means the Annihilation all divine power; how can it possibly be restored directly?"
"My God, is Lin Yan really that powerful?"
The princes discussed among themselves, and all the lords of the universe were deeply shocked.
The Lord of the Universe is an existence that traverses the universe and stands at its pinnacle.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, was able to approach the Universe's Strongest, directly causing the Three-Race Alliance to lose five universe lords. This was truly terrifying, considering how long he had been cultivating.
Even the Demon Ancestor of the Prison Race on the throne murmured, "Lin Yan? The three Universe's Strongest couldn't defeat him even when they joined forces. His strength is probably even more terrifying than what this news suggests! Is humanity really going to see another 'Original' emerge?"
He was the only Universe's Strongest among the Prison Race. Putting himself in Lin Yan's shoes, he naturally understood that if Lin Yan wanted to achieve this, he absolutely could not have any weaknesses in any aspect.
In fact, such a thing is almost impossible.
Besides the Universe's Strongest, who else could escape unscathed from the siege of three of the Universe's Strongest?
At this moment—
A powerful aura wafted in from outside the hall, and the entire hall fell silent. Everyone turned to look outside, even the Demon Ancestor on the throne.
Boom!
A streak of light descended directly into the hall, emanating an extremely evil aura that made even the Lord of the Universe tremble. It was a massive, jet- black Throne, with 18 golden Alien Race heads atop the backrest.
As the black Throne landed beneath the hall, it rapidly began to transform, coalescing into a figure clad in simple armor.
The arms, legs, and feet of the black-skinned creature were completely bare. The head was a skull unlike any known race, with a forehead that protruded forward like a scimitar, and two Black Flames burning in the eyes.
That invisible evil aura was even stronger than that of all the other powerful figures combined, including the Demon Ancestor in the main hall!
"Hell King!" the various Prison Race cosmic lords called out respectfully.
"Hell King." The Demon Ancestor on the main hall looked down and spoke.
"Demon Ancestor." The evil being bowed slightly.
The Hell King is a being with a special status in the entire Prison Race. Its true form is the black Throne, yet it is a living being that is born with some of the characteristics of a "Supreme Treasure." Its divine body is almost indestructible like Supreme Treasure, and it can also naturally form illusions and Supreme Treasure domains.
In the early days of the Primordial Universe, the Hell King cultivated to the level of the Lord of the Universe the fastest, becoming the strongest being of the Prison Race, but he was stuck at the level of the Lord of the Universe and could not make any further progress.
Therefore, even the Demon Ancestor was its junior, and after becoming the Universe's Strongest, he still respected this "Hell King" very much.
"Hell King, you've received the news too?" the Demon Ancestor asked.
"Hmm." The Hell King nodded. "The Primordial Universe has not seen such a shocking event for countless years. Even the Universe's Strongest beings of the Three Great Peak Races have become stepping stones for humanity's rise to fame. How could I not know about this powerful new existence that has emerged in the universe?"
"Moreover, I heard that his divine body's defensive power is about the same as mine."
"Indeed," the Demon Ancestor sighed softly, "With such a short period of cultivation, he is already comparable to you, the Hell King. I wonder what secrets that human holds."
The Hell King rarely leaves the Prison Race Territory, and even less often goes to the Cosmic Sea, so his reputation is not as great as that of powerful beings such as the Star River Master, the Chaos City Lord, Lord of Nine Nether.
However, in terms of combat power, it is also Tier 5 peak, and with its life characteristics, it poses no real threat in the Primordial Universe.
"The Zerg Empress possesses the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Palace, the 'Empress's Palace.' If I were in the same situation as him, surrounded by the three Universe's Strongest, I would probably be suppressed and sealed, unable to escape." The Hell King shook his head slightly. "If we really compare, he is slightly stronger."
"The Mechanical race, the Demon Race, the Zerg, and the Human Race... these four races occupy the best four territories, and the geniuses within them have even greater potential. Even our Prison Race looks down on them." The Demon Ancestor sighed softly. "Previously, the Human Primordial Ancestor was suppressed by the Universe Origin, and the race was somewhat weak because it did not have Ultimate Supreme Treasure to protect it. Now, Lin Yan has appeared. If this news gets out, its momentum will surely increase greatly."
The Prison Race and the Crystal Race also lack Ultimate Supreme Treasure, and their territories are remote, so their overall strength is slightly weaker... Therefore, among the Six Great Peak Races, while humans, Demon Race, Mechanical race, and Zerg fight fiercely, they don't think much of these two clans.
The Demon Ancestor glanced at the Hell King.
If the Hell King can break through to Universe's Strongest, with his life characteristics, his strength will be absolutely heaven-defying, and the Prison Race's strength will be no less than that of the four major clans.
Unfortunately, beings like the Hell King are special; even after countless years as a master of the universe, they still don't know how to move forward.
Crystal Race.
Inside the crystal-clear temple, the main hall is arranged in a circular layout, with 16 crystal thrones distributed throughout. Judging from the arrangement of the thrones, they are not ranked in any particular order.
Each of the powerful members of the Crystal Race, regardless of gender, possessed a face that could be described as perfect. Their crystal-forged bodies seemed to be the condensation of the Cosmic Essence, and they all had Golden Eyes between their brows, radiating an aura of power.
One Universe's Strongest and fifteen lords of the universe—they are the supreme beings of the entire Crystal Race.
What are your thoughts on this news?
"Holy Lord, even the three Universe's Strongest, who possess the most Ultimate Supreme Treasure, couldn't defeat this human Lin Yan. In fact, they lost five universe lords. This shows that he is practically invincible in the Primordial Universe! In terms of threat, he is even stronger than the Universe's Strongest. After all, if the Universe's Strongest dared to kill a universe lord like this, even their divine bodies would probably be unable to withstand the severe punishment of the Primordial Universe."
"Moreover, everyone should know that this human Lin Yan only broke through to the Universe Venerable more than 10,000 years ago, and he may not have even broken through to the Universe Lord realm yet, but he already possesses such combat power. Compared to his strength, his potential is even more limitless. Our Crystal Race can only befriend him and should not easily provoke him!"
"Yes, anyway, our Crystal Race's territory has no competitive relationship with humans, nor any historical hatred. Even if the human race becomes stronger, only the Three-Race Alliance will be affected, not our Crystal Race. There's no need to offend such a powerful being."
"The human race is not simple, especially that Primordial Ancestor. He probably left the human race with a trump card. The more intense the battle between the four races, the more beneficial it is for us. We don't need to get involved in this."
Each of the Crystal Race Universe Lords shared their thoughts.
"Everyone's points are valid. These four major races all have profound foundations. After the Primordial Ancestor of the human race was suppressed, the race declined. Unexpectedly, Lin Yan has emerged, and he may be able to rebuild his former glory." The Crystal Race Holy Lord said, "His methods are heaven-defying. If you encounter him in your future adventures, you must not be careless and it is best to avoid his sharp edge."
"Yes."
Each of the Crystal Race's cosmic rulers responded.
All the major superpowers in the Primordial Universe received this message.
Although they did not want to see the human race riding on their heads in the future, things had come to this... Even the Three-Race Alliance, which had endless hatred for the human race, could not kill Lin Yan, which showed that it was no longer possible to stop Lin Yan's growth.
Other forces, of course, wouldn't be so overconfident as to believe they possess such strength.
Since we can't kill him, we can't easily offend him. Lin Yan's potential is obvious to the naked eye. He has a very high chance of breaking through to become the Universe's Strongest in the future, and he may even become the second "Primordial Ancestor".
Super powers that possess the Universe's Strongest maintain a relatively peaceful mindset because they all have "Small Universe -Small Universe" as backup bases, where they can rest easy.
As for those universe lords with insufficient background, their fear and respect for Lin Yan were even greater. For example, the Top-tier Power such as the Nine Domains Alliance and the Thorn Ring Alliance, Second-tier, were now even more united in their opinions.
"Everyone knows Lin Yan's strength. Even the Universe's Strongest cannot threaten him. Regardless of whether you have any past grudges with humanity, you must never provoke him again."
"Our alliance doesn't even have a single Universe's Strongest. If we anger him, he could directly invade our race and we wouldn't even be able to restrain him. Wouldn't that push us to the brink of extinction?"
"Humanity has the Giant Axe, Chaos, and now Lin Yan. It will surely become even more prosperous and powerful. You all bear the responsibility of inheriting the clan. You must pay attention to the limits and measure in your actions, lest you bring unbearable disaster upon yourselves."
The distant Northern Frontier Alliance, with its Palace Cluster shrouded in endless starlight, is the home of the "Star River Master".
Inside the main hall.
A figure, like Black Hole, sat on the throne, devouring all light. Only the Dark Void could be vaguely seen, from which a voice emanated. "Lord of Black Lotus, Star Lord Liulan, what brings you here to see me?"
"Star River Master, why did you decide to take action against that human Lin Yan without consulting us? Do you know how much this matter has affected our Northern Frontier Alliance?" said the Lord of Black Lotus, whose body was surrounded by rings of lotus leaves and whose head resembled the stamen of a plant flower.
"In this Three-Race Alliance to encircle and suppress Lin Yan, the three races each suffered the least losses... but each of them lost a Universe Lord. Ever since the news of your participation in the campaign spread, many Universe Lords in our Northern Frontier Alliance have been living in fear. Doesn't the Star River Master the Alliance an explanation?" The Star Lord Liulan, whose whole body seemed to be shrouded in mist and was faintly surrounded by thousands of ribbons, also spoke up.
The three people present all had very unusual identities.
The Northern Frontier Alliance is a super alliance, gathering a large number of scattered races, with approximately a hundred universe lords. It is conceivable that such a loose super alliance is far less united than many powerful forces such as humans and Demon Race, and is internally divided into many factions.
On the surface, the Supreme Alliance Leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance is the Universe's Strongest.
However, this leader was originally Lone Walker Strongest from Special Lifeform form. He was only nominally recruited and occasionally helped revive the Universe Overlord. He didn't care about anything else and didn't care about the existence of the Northern Frontier Alliance at all.
In fact, the three truly influential cosmic lords are the Star River Master, the Lord of Black Lotus, and the Star Lord Liulan, all of whom possess "Tier 5 peak" combat power.
The Lord of Black Lotus represents the six major Plant Lifeform groups within the Northern Frontier Alliance, forming a super faction of its own.
The Star Lord Liulan is the Spiritual Leader of the "Liulan Clan," the largest clan within the Northern Frontier Alliance.
As for the Star River Master, although he was born into Special Lifeform, his divine body was powerful and unique. He was most skilled at Reverse Space-Time to resurrect, saving countless Universe Venerable of various races. He bestowed kindness widely and handled many matters with extreme fairness, gaining the support of many small races. He represented a union of "Special Lifeform powerhouses" and "small race powerhouses".
The three of them constitute the three major factions within the entire Northern Frontier Alliance.
Their agreement represents the agreement of 95% of the ethnic groups in the Northern Frontier Alliance.
"Ever since the human race spread this news, none of the hundreds of Universe Lords in my Northern Frontier Alliance have dared to go to the Original Star to Treasure Seizing. Even Universe Venerable and Universe Overlord have to keep a low profile," said the Lord of Black Lotus. "If this matter is not resolved, who among them will dare to go to the Original Star?"
The Star River Master fell silent for a moment.
The Northern Frontier Alliance is an alliance of many powerful, ordinary, and weak races. Although there are many cosmic lords, in terms of quality, they are certainly not as good as the top races.
Human races are mostly at the third rank or higher, which is something the Northern Frontier Alliance certainly cannot do, as it has a large number of Tier 2 Universe Master, while third- and fourth-rank beings are in the minority.
With this kind of strength, facing Lin Yan, who is famous throughout the universe, would definitely be an instant kill. Even those top-tier fourth-order universe masters wouldn't dare to guarantee their survival.
Under these circumstances, the human race released news that the Northern Frontier Alliance was participating in the encirclement and suppression operation! The Star River Master did indeed prevent Lin Yan from leaving the Original Star.
Although the human race has not announced what actions it will take next, the psychological pressure it has put on the Northern Frontier Alliance's universe lords is immense.
The Three-Race Alliance serves as a cautionary tale: even the one that suffered the least loss lost a cosmic lord!
Who knows if Lin Yan will make a move to kill a Universe Lord from the Northern Frontier Alliance as a warning to others? Lin Yan is in the right in this matter, and his strength is obvious to all. If he really kills one of their Universe Lords, would the Northern Frontier Alliance dare to make any big moves?
They all knew the outcome.
No one wanted to gamble on Lin Yan's intentions, so naturally no one dared to venture out during this tense period. After all, for the Lord of the Universe, time was nothing, but life was only once.
"With a sword hanging over our necks, we have no choice." The Star River Master sighed inwardly, "This human's strength is heaven-defying, and he has no more scruples, but our Northern Frontier Alliance has no choice but to be cautious and bow our heads."
Actually, he was wronged too.
The Star River Master acted not for personal gain, but for the common interests of the Northern Frontier Alliance.
What he didn't expect was that Lin Yan not only didn't perish, but also became a renowned and fearsome figure in the universe. At this point, the Northern Frontier Alliance had no other choice.
War?
I don't have that ability.
The only thing we can do is try to mend the cracks and salvage the situation.
"I will personally go to the human race to apologize," the Star River Master said in a deep voice. "I believe this is the answer the human race needs."
