When the City Lord of Chaos, wielding Broken Stone Staff, clad in Qianbao Robe, and barefoot, treading on the waves, the once invincible arrogance of the Kuang Xiao Master and the Lord of Time-Machine was immediately suppressed.

"City Lord of Chaos, it seems this human is indeed a junior you value highly, that you have come here in person." The Kuang Xiao Master struggled bitterly in the Qianbao River, while the Lord of Time-Machine beside him was also doing his best to resist. Anyone with eyes could see how much pressure the two Universe Masters were under!

"Weren't you the ones who arrived first? And you two dare to bully my human race's newly promoted Universe Master." The City Lord of Chaos looked at the Kuang Xiao Master and the Lord of Time-Machine struggling under the projection of the Qianbao River and revealed a sneer. However, in terms of the invisible pressure alone, although the Lord of the Kuang Xiao Master Lord of Time-Machine were clearly weaker, they were still considered to be on the same level. Unlike the other Venerable Level life forms present, who were completely overshadowed, they couldn't even get a glance from any of the Universe Master present.

"I came here only because you, this junior, used Supreme Treasure to suppress my junior." The struggling Kuang Xiao Master suddenly fixed his eyes on Lu Yan'an, who was hovering in mid-air behind the Lord of Youhou. "Your situation is completely different from mine. That Supreme Treasure that this human possesses, it must have been given to him by you, right?"

"Supreme Treasure? Does he really possess Supreme Treasure?" Everyone around turned their gaze to Lu Yan'an, who was still unconscious, their eyes filled with complex emotions—a mixture of greed and intense feelings. However, with the four Universe Master locked in a standoff, even the Venerable could only watch obediently, let alone the Feng Wang powerhouses who were even less likely to do anything outrageous!

"Let me check." The Kuang Xiao Master' voice was majestic. "King Huanshi? Haha... How interesting. I never thought that a World Lord could conceal his aura with Supreme Treasure and disguise himself as an immortal, actually making a name for himself Invincible King. Your disciple is truly extraordinary! Tsk, if I'm not mistaken, your disciple should be Lu Yan'an, who claimed to have died from internal strife among the human race, right? Am I right?"

The group of Venerable who were gathering outside the arena, as well as the King-level Immortal who were watching the situation, were completely stunned.

World Lord?

He's just a World Lord?

"The World Lord was actually able to withstand the sneak attack of the Kuang Xiao Master?" The Feng Wang and Venerable outside the arena were somewhat stunned, but then the greed in their eyes grew even stronger, even among the Venerable who had experienced countless storms. "Supreme Treasure, it must be Supreme Treasure that made him so powerful."

"Truly astounding! This human, Lu Yan'an, even though he relied on Supreme Treasure to achieve such a level, it's still remarkable that World Lord Level could possess such strength and make such a name for himself!" Outside the arena, a small number of Venerable sighed in amazement. Unlike those who had been granted Feng Wang, they were not so shallow. While Supreme Treasure could certainly enhance one's strength, their effectiveness ultimately depended on the user's skill. The strong remain strong; even without supreme Supreme Treasure, one could still be invincible in the Universe Ocean!

The Lord of Youhou and the City Lord of Chaos were not surprised that the Kuang Xiao Master could see through Lu Yan'an's true nature at a glance. After all, he was a being at the level of Universe Master. While Supreme Treasure might still be useful for Venerable Level being, the Universe Master was a completely new realm. How could a mere ordinary-quality Supreme Treasure withstand the prying eyes of a Universe Master? The ability of Supreme Treasure to conceal one's aura was not omnipotent.

The City Lord of Chaos's voice boomed. "What's wrong with bestowing an Ordinary Supreme Treasure upon the outstanding descendants of my Human Race? Of course, we must provide sufficient resources to nurture the outstanding descendants within our race. Only in this way can enough super beings be born. My Human Race has fewer Immortal God than you, but we have slightly more top-tier beings than your Monster Race. Why is that? It's because we are willing to give, while you are not. You have to give to receive!"

"You, Kuang Xiao Master, also climbed up step by step from a weak state. It seems that you have never received any care from your clan during your growth process, have you?" The City Lord of Chaos looked at the Kuang Xiao Master with a narrow-minded expression, as if watching a show.

Upon hearing this, the Kuang Xiao Master' expression stiffened, followed by a look of helplessness. He truly had no way to refute it, because what the City Lord of Chaos said was true! The living environment of the Monster Race was vastly different from that of the human race. Due to the large number of life forms, the race generally used the method of raising Gu (a type of poisonous insect) for cultivation, but for ordinary members of the race, this method meant certain death!

Having gone through this brutal selection process, every Monster Race possesses a wild spirit! However, due to the sheer size of the Monster Race, even after this selection process, the number remains excessive. Therefore, it's easy to imagine how much resources are allocated to each Monster Race genius.

"Your human race's strength is all thanks to the Virtual Universe! Among the billions of races in the universe, who doesn't know that?" The Kuang Xiao Master's voice boomed. "I won't waste my breath on this nonsense. If it weren't for the existence of the Giant Axe Founder, the Universe Supreme Being, how could your human race have achieved its current status? Today... I don't want to say any more to you, so I'll be leaving now."

Immediately, the Kuang Xiao Master gestured to the Lord of Time-Machine, the Universe Master Lord of the Machine Race, who was still struggling frantically on the Qianbao River. The two of them then began to slowly fly towards the outer edge of the Qianbao River projection, one in front of the other, while resisting the pressure.

The two men felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing the City Lord of Chaos! They knew without a doubt that today's assassination and rescue operation had failed. If they couldn't extricate themselves in time, they risked being suppressed. As for complete annihilation, that was unlikely! Unless the Human Race intentionally started a war, in the Primal Universe, Universe Master generally didn't face the threat of destruction.

The two of them had previously joined forces against Lord of Youhou, but their true intention was to kill Lu Yan'an. As for Lord of Youhou? They had never even considered the possibility of killing him! After all, they had been the ones who were disrespectful first. Attacking a World Lord was already shameless enough; if they had also involved Lord of Youhou, they would probably be dead by now!

"Ha ha..."

The City Lord of Chaos laughed, his laughter mingling with the Thousand Qianbao River, causing it to tremble. This forced the two Alien Race immortals to endure the increasingly terrifying restraints on their Divine Body and accelerate their advance.

"Hmph." The Kuang Xiao Master let out a low snort in the void, and then the Kuang Xiao Master and the Lord of Time-Machine transformed into two streams of Flowing Light and flew away, only entering the Dark Universe after reaching the speed of light. Clearly, within the range of the Qianbao River... even with the presence of the Kuang Xiao Master and the Lord of Time-Machine, they could not Teleportation away even if they joined forces.

"These two are truly shameless." The City Lord of Chaos shook his head, then looked down at Lu Yan'an, who was still unconscious, his expression slightly grave. He sighed, then nodded and smiled at the Lord of Youhou, who stood respectfully to the side, saying, "Well done! If it weren't for your protection, your junior brother probably wouldn't have made it to me."

"Uncle-Master, I dare not accept such an honor!" Lord of Youhou bowed deeply to City Lord of Chaos to show his respect. As beings of the same level as Universe Master, Lord of Youhou would normally only need to give a slight, symbolic bow, but City Lord of Chaos's timely support had truly helped him a great deal, which is why Lord of Youhou had to adopt such a more formal greeting.

"Enough of that. Take good care of your junior brother! That madman used such cruel methods on him, which caused his body to fall into a deep sleep as a self-protective mechanism. I just checked on him, and he's basically fine now! As long as he gets some rest, that's all that matters. Take this opportunity to tell Junior Brother Dark about your breakthrough and Lu Yan'an's coma!"

Upon seeing the Lord of Youhou's affirmative nod, the City Lord of Chaos finally revealed a satisfied smile, "Now, Junior Brother Darkness will probably have to show off in front of me! A disciple at the level of Universe Master!"

As he spoke, the figure of the City Lord of Chaos vanished from his spot. The Qianbao River, flowing from the other side of the Galaxy, also slowly dissipated as the City Lord of Chaos departed. At this moment, only the unconscious Lu Yan'an and the Lord of Youhou remained on the battlefield.

"Junior Brother, let's go!" Lord of Youhou waved his hand, and Lu Yan'an was instantly stored in his Space Ring. The next moment, Lord of Youhou and Lu Yan'an vanished from the spot...
