Endless Chaos energy drifted gently across the Universe Ocean, and time continued in this manner. However, this Chaos energy, being close to the Primal Universe, was constantly disturbed. Of course, there were many reasons for this, but the most important one was that this place, as the boundary between the Primal Universe and the Universe Ocean, was frequently visited by powerful beings who would travel between the two locations.

As expected, a black phantom suddenly appeared in the Chaos airflow, and then vanished just as quickly.

Although this dark figure was insignificant compared to the endless Chaos energy, the Chaos energy of one side was clearly no match for the power of a strong person who had fully comprehended the fundamental Law of Time and Law of Space.

When this incredibly powerful being arrived, the Chaos energy here was completely shattered. The black figure flashed incessantly, and space and time had become its playthings, allowing it to traverse freely within them.

Suddenly, the black phantom stopped, and the Chaos energy dispersed, revealing a face like that of a hawk. It was very majestic in appearance, with an indescribable sense of nobility. Its eyes were extremely sharp, and wherever its gaze fell, the Chaos energy was completely torn apart.

But when he saw the vast and boundless Primal Universe in the distance, a slightly wistful smile appeared on his face.

"After endless Years, I have finally returned! This time, I admit my strength is insufficient, Ice Peak Master of Humanity." This powerful being of the Eagle Demon Race Universe Master, said with endless emotion.

He then silently turned around, looking in the direction he had come from. There lay endless darkness, the Chaos energy obscuring the path ahead, but he knew how dangerous it was. His eyes were filled with resentment, but it ultimately turned into a sigh.

"Human Ice Peak, I will remember this defeat forever! I am still too weak, dormant for trillions of epochs! I will challenge you again after I have made further progress."

Turning back, he smiled as he looked at the Primal Universe. Images from the past kept flashing through his mind. Without further hesitation, he vanished, leaving only a soft murmur behind.

"I wonder what the situation is like within our race now? And why, despite having two of the Universe Supreme Being, is our Monster Race so stingy in nurturing our geniuses!"

His figure quickly arrived at the edge of the universe, where a massive black hole hundreds of light-years in diameter stood—the infamous "Tuoya Black Hole." Endless energy was constantly being pumped in and out, and even the aftershocks could kill a group of Feng Wang. Even Venerable would be torn to shreds by the pressure within if they made the slightest mistake!

However, this eagle-like Universe Master of the Monster Race did not hesitate at all and plunged straight in.

The Primal Universe, Miniature Universe of the Dream Demon Ancestor, is one of the most central locations for the Monster Race. It resembles Universe Ocean, surrounded by Chaos energy, and within it, one can vaguely see nine majestic mountain peaks, each tens of millions of kilometers long, standing in orderly rows.

Surrounded by mountains, the Chaos energy here is even more concentrated, vaguely resembling a lake at the bottom, with specks of water like a pond on a summer night.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

A slight tremor followed, and with the arrival of an immense will, one of the nine mountain peaks began to tremble slightly before slowly becoming clearer, revealing a face as sharp as a hawk's, its gaze still as piercing as ever.

The Chaos energy of the mountain gradually dissipated, and the image of the "mountain" was fully revealed in the field of vision. The figure that appeared was clearly the Eagle Universe Master who had just returned from the Universe Ocean.

With the appearance of the Eagle Falcon Universe Master, a chain reaction occurred on the other mountain peaks, and the changes from before happened again. The nine figures gradually became clearer, each of them tens of millions of kilometers tall.

"Mad Owl! You've returned safely? I heard that Tian Sun and Wang She said your operation went somewhat poorly?" The voice of the Sky Wolf Master resounded powerfully.

The Eagle Universe Master nodded slightly and said, "Don't even mention it. We encountered the human Ice Peak Master, and who knew this guy had become so strong? The three of us, one fourth-tier and two third-tier, joined forces and still couldn't gain the upper hand against him!"

On the other side, a bull-faced figure with horns on its head said, "I heard from Tian Sun that you suffered considerable damage to your Divine Body this time? I advised you long ago that third-tier strength is still a bit of a stretch in the Universe Ocean; at least fourth-tier strength is needed to be safe. Tian Sun's condition is much better than yours this time. You should stay away from fifth-tier opponents like Ice Peak!"

Kuang Xiao Master frowned. He originally wanted to explain that he was doing this to cover the retreat of Wang She and Tian Sun under the attack of Ice Peak Master. However, Ice Peak Master, as Fifth-Order Universe Master, had no shortage of Supreme Treasure, which allowed him to completely suppress the three of them, making his rearguard action extremely dangerous.

However, he didn't say the words aloud. After all, the Desolate Ox Master was right; the reason was that his strength was too weak. If he had been a fifth-tier power at that time, the one who would have fled would definitely have been the human Ice Peak Master!

If he had been able to defend against the Ice Peak Master's attack, or possessed Domain-type Supreme Treasure or Palace-type Supreme Treasure of High-level Supreme Treasure, he could have avoided a head-on confrontation and wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.

"Alright, everyone, let's stop talking about Kuang Xiao. This is all part of the process. He still needs time to hone his skills before he can venture into the Universe Ocean."

"Encountering a powerful enemy this time is not necessarily a bad thing. Recognizing the dangers of the Universe Ocean early on allows us to prepare accordingly," the Dream Demon Ancestor's voice suddenly came from somewhere, offering words of comfort.

The other Universe Master appeared nearby, upon hearing the Dream Demon Ancestor's words, initially wanted to say something, but then kept quiet. They were all powerful beings, and they cared about their reputations; many things were best left unsaid. Saying too much would only make them think you were being nosy!

Upon hearing the words of the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Kuang Xiao Master slightly bowed his head. Despite his strength having reached the Universe Master, he held the two pillars of the Monster Race in the highest esteem.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Has anything significant happened in the Primal Universe recently? For tens of thousands of epochs, I have been extremely vigilant, rarely sending my consciousness to my Divine Power Clone."

The Sky Wolf Master pondered for a moment and said, "Kuang Xiao Master, your disciple, Venerable Menghua, recently took in a very talented junior. He should have already earned his own invincible title of Feng Wang in the Outer Region Battlefield."

"He is still young. With further training, I believe he has a great chance of reaching the Venerable, and even has a chance to achieve the same level as you and me."

The Kuang Xiao Master's eyes instantly lit up with delight. Although he had many disciples at the Venerable Level, he had the best relationship with the Lord of Menghua, mainly because the current Venerable Menghua was his favorite junior disciple. Now that this disciple had found such an outstanding junior, he was truly overjoyed.

The Universe Master usually has a very sharp eye! He is usually quite restrained when praising people! Just from this praise that sounds like a compliment, one can tell what a talented junior this is.

To be more specific, this is the most talented young disciple within the Mad Owl lineage...

How could the Kuang Xiao Master not be excited by a genius who could reach the level of Invincible King in such a short time? Invincible King means that he is not far from becoming Venerable. The Kuang Xiao Master believed that, under his constant guidance, the day when his little disciple would break through to become Venerable one was not far off!

This will be the pillar of his lineage, the most direct inheritor. In all the countless eras of the entire Monster Race, there have been no more than two or three geniuses like him.

He calmed his excitement and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Suddenly, the Sky Wolf Master paused for a moment, then said softly, "There wasn't anything else, but just now, something else happened."

"Hmm?" The Kuang Xiao Master looked puzzled, then said with a smile, enunciating each word clearly, "After all these Years, you, Sky Wolf, have started keeping me in suspense!"

The Sky Wolf Master chuckled, shook his head, and began to explain.

"Madman, believe me, this is not good news. According to our internal network, your disciple, Venerable Menghua, just posted a message on the internal network. You should take a look! It's hard to say, your grand-disciple might be gone."

"What?!" The Kuang Xiao Master was greatly shocked. He quickly followed the instructions of the Sky Wolf Master and connected his consciousness to the Monster Race's internal network. "How hateful! Humans actually bestowed a Supreme Treasure upon a mere Immortal brat! They have no martial ethics!"

Upon seeing this message, even the Kuang Xiao Master couldn't sit still. After a moment, it forced itself to calm down. Having reached the realm of the Universe Master, its understanding of the universe was much deeper, and naturally, it had a great way of controlling its own emotions.

"Let's go and find out the specifics about Menghua first. The successors of my Mad Owl lineage must not be wiped out by humans!"
