"Venerable Light Blade!"
Seeing the newcomer, Lord of Ganwu's face immediately lit up with excitement.
Venerable Light Blade, whose real name was Ace!
He was a top-tier overlord among the human race, and more importantly, he was a disciple of the Lord of True Light.
Even when facing a Universe Master, he could retreat with ease.
"Hahaha! What, am I not welcome?"
Ace instantly closed the distance to the Lord of Ganwu, a blade of light already gripped in his hand.
"No... that's not it!" the Lord of Ganwu denied repeatedly, "It's just that this time..."
"Long time no see, Venerable Light Blade!"
Suddenly, a Universe Venerable-level Bug Race Mother Emperor spoke up.
Ace's gaze shifted accordingly.
"So it's Venerable Dream Chaser. Have you already forgotten the lesson from last time?"
This was not the first time Ace had encountered these alien Universe Venerables; there were several familiar faces among them, but they were all merely those he had defeated before.
He had never taken these fellows to heart.
"There are seven Universe Overlords here. Do you really think..."
Just as Venerable Dream Chaser was speaking, the light blade in Ace's hand had already pierced through her.
"Too much chatter. I don't have the habit of reminiscing with you aliens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace swung the light sword in his hand, and blades of light filled with the Laws of Light swept toward these Venerables.
"Venerable Light Blade, how dare you..."
Since they were all Universe Overlords, Ace's casual strike was not enough to take their lives, but the damage to their divine bodies was real.
In just one round of attacks, the divine bodies of these Universe Overlords had lost at least seven percent, with the most heavily damaged losing a full ten percent.
For them, this was an unacceptable price.
"So? What do you all plan to do now?" A smile appeared on the corner of Ace's mouth, and he stopped attacking as if he were just playing around.
He unleashed a variety of techniques, instantly rushing in front of a Venerable from the Monster Race.
The light sword in his hand transformed into a wheel of light, hacking down at the Monster Race Venerable's head like a chainsaw.
In less than a second, the Monster Race Venerable's divine body was reduced to less than ten percent, and he passively fell into a deep slumber.
Seeing this, Ace did not choose to wipe him out completely, but instead took out a standard suppression treasure, "Light Prison," and sealed him away.
The remaining alien Venerables were shocked and horrified at the sight.
"Venerable Light Blade, how could you..."
Venerable Dream Chaser had just started to speak when she saw three Universe Overlords already retreating rapidly.
She immediately lost the desire to spout threats; after all, it was better for a fellow daoist to die than for oneself, so she hurriedly used her own techniques to retreat as well.
Unfortunately, their escape methods looked like the speed of a turtle in Ace's eyes.
He caught up in an instant, cleanly and efficiently dealing with the remaining five Universe Overlords and sealing them before turning his hand toward the Bug Race Mother Emperor.
"Venerable Dream Chaser, give up the struggle! My third senior brother has been wanting to collect more Bug Race Mother Emperors lately!"
The third senior brother Ace spoke of was also a disciple of the Lord of True Light, Venerable Ice Axe, Seven!
Don't let the title Ice Axe fool you; in reality, besides being a controller, he was also a soul master.
The number of alien powerhouses under his command was not small, including but not limited to the Monster Race, Bug Race, and Machine Race.
This even included Starfield Behemoths and some special life forms.
Of course, what he liked most was the Bug Race; a single Bug Race Mother Emperor could bring several, or even dozens of times, the combat power of the same level.
It was hard not to covet that.
"Do you think that's possible?"
Seeing the situation before her, Venerable Dream Chaser naturally knew she couldn't escape, so she simply...
"Oh? Trying to self-destruct?" Watching Venerable Dream Chaser's body gradually swell, Ace immediately understood her intentions.
But...
"Trying to self-destruct in front of me? That really is wishful thinking!"
As he spoke, Ace had already gathered a massive amount of energy in his hand, the process taking only a fleeting moment from start to finish.
A crescent-shaped blade of light flew from Ace's hand, not only splitting Venerable Dream Chaser's divine body in two but also firmly locking down the energy she was using to self-destruct.
"You..."
Venerable Dream Chaser wanted to say something more, but due to the severe damage to her body, she fell directly into a deep slumber.
"Haha, I believe Senior Brother will like this gift!"
After Ace secured Venerable Dream Chaser within the Light Prison, he waved toward Lord of Ganwu and said:
"Ganwu, there are venerables from our Space Garrison stationed ahead to receive you, so you can rest easy. I'm heading off to support the others now."
As his voice trailed off, Ace transformed into a beam of light and streaked into the distance.
Seeing this, Lord of Ganwu had no choice but to quickly lead the members of his God Base toward the territory of humanity.
"It seems Ace has made quite a haul this time!"
Far away, across hundreds of millions of light-years, Seven looked at the email Ace had sent via the Virtual Universe and knew his junior brother had gained a significant harvest.
But compared to himself...
He looked at the legion-like crowd of alien powerhouses behind him and shrugged, saying:
"Sometimes, having too many subordinates can be a real headache!"
However, shortly after receiving a message from one of his soul slaves, Seven grinned.
He then set off toward the coordinates provided.
"What on earth is going on? Why has the human race suddenly launched such a fierce counterattack?"
Lord of Chang Jiu, who was overseeing the Monster Race command center, fell into a state of utter frustration after receiving reports from various regions.
In less than a hundred years, the efficiency of the human counterattack had been astonishing.
Out of the more than 5,700 universe venerables of the Monster Race, over 700 had been captured alone, not to mention those who had already fallen!
Universe venerables were the backbone of every race in the Primal Universe.
Even if they could be resurrected, it would require the Lords of the Universe like them to pay a massive price.
Furthermore, the Monster Race's divine bodies were among the largest of all races, meaning the cost to resurrect a universe venerable was nearly three to four times higher than for other races.
"Could it be that the humans still have some hidden trump cards? You must remember that whether it was Noah or Yuan, they were both renowned powerhouses in the Universe Sea.
If it weren't for Noah being killed by forbidden means while exploring the Universe Boat back then, would there even be a place for our Monster Race in the Primal Universe today?"
The one who spoke was Lord of Forbidden Annihilation from the lineage of Quake Monster Ancestor, also a Tier 5 Lord of the Universe.
Although not as powerful as Lord of Chang Jiu, he was still a top-tier combatant for the Monster Race.
In reality, the two of them usually handled the major and minor affairs of the Monster Race together.
"Should I take action personally?"
The one who spoke this time was also a Tier 5 Lord of the Universe of the Monster Race, Lord of Catfish Scorched!
He was also from the lineage of Quake Monster Ancestor, and possessing a top-tier domain treasure, he was considered a formidable expert even in the Universe Sea.
"No, the Tier 5 Lords of the Universe from the human side haven't entered the fray yet. If we make a move, I fear that..."
It was Lord of Blood Chisel who spoke, his tone laced with apprehension.
He was also a Tier 5 Lord of the Universe, but because he lacked a peak treasure, he was generally only responsible for guarding the frontiers of the Monster Race.
Because of this, he was the only Lord of the Universe participating in the meeting via a divine power avatar.
"Then what are we supposed to do? Just sit here and watch as our people are killed, captured, or even enslaved by the humans?"
The hot-tempered Lord of Meng Wan shouted.
It was no wonder he was so furious; his Nine Meng Beast Race was known for having massive divine bodies.
Moreover, due to their racial traits, the soul strength of his kin was generally low, and he had already received news that many of his clansmen had been enslaved.
How could he, a Lord of the Universe, not be enraged by this?
