"Who's there?!"

Venerable Savage Elephant cried out in pain and whipped around to look toward the direction of the attack.

He didn't even have time to worry about the cost, using every treasure he had to restore his divine power.

That single blow had left him with only around seventy percent of his divine body.

Now, after restoring it at any cost, he had finally recovered to the ninety-percent mark.

But...

"Brother Zoffy!"

Seven and Ace looked at the approaching figure and cried out in delight.

The newcomer was none other than Lord of True Light's eldest disciple, one of the few top overlords in the Human Race closest to the Universe Master realm.

Ace and Seven had already reached the level of top overlords in terms of combat strength, but their understanding of the laws of space was still lacking.

As for Zoffy, it was said that he was just one step away. If he hadn't been helping Lord of True Light manage the Space Garrison, he would have broken through to become a Universe Master long ago.

Even without that breakthrough, his individual combat prowess was still comparable to that of a Third-Order Universe Master.

Even a First-Order Universe Master would have no choice but to run for his life upon encountering him!

"Radiant Star God Lord!"

Once Venerable Savage Elephant recognized who had arrived, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately used a secret art that burned his divine body and fled toward the edge of the Outer-Domain Battlefield!

"You're not going anywhere!"

Seeing this, Zoffy immediately made his move. The wide cloak behind him detached from his body.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an enormous cover that could shroud an entire region of the universe.

It was his sealing-type Supreme Treasure, which also had some domain-type effects.

Even someone as enormous as Venerable Savage Elephant was firmly bound in place by Zoffy's casual strike!

"Go!"

Seeing this, Venerable Qi Lian and Venerable Xinji immediately made up their minds.

Without hesitation, they abandoned their Zerg Warriors and Mechanical Puppets, burned their divine bodies, and fled toward the edge of the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

"Don't run!"

Ace had a fiery temper. When he saw this, he was about to continue the pursuit.

But Zoffy's figure instantly appeared in front of him, and he said, "That's enough. The Monster Race's Universe Masters will be here soon. Lord Jiek and Lord Ice Peak won't be able to hold them off alone. We need to leave!"

"But... sigh!"

Ace knew he should be satisfied with what they had gained and quit while he was ahead. But remembering how badly he'd been beaten just now left him seething with resentment.

Zoffy ignored him and went to the two Phantom Beast Walkers. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll replenish your energy now!"

"Thank you, God Lord!"

After the two Walkers thanked him, Zoffy used the bracelet on his wrist to convert his divine power into unowned divine power, helping them absorb it quickly.

"There's no time to lose. Most of the Human Race forces on the Second Battlefield have already been moved. We should withdraw too!"

Zoffy nodded, stored away Venerable Savage Elephant, who had been sealed, and led Ace and the others toward the edge of the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

"Savage Elephant has been sealed!"

Lord of Catfish Scorched was rushing toward the Outer-Domain Battlefield when he received the message Venerable Savage Elephant had sent before being sealed. He stopped in his tracks.

Venerable Savage Elephant belonged to the same Quake Monster Ancestor faction as he did, and was also his direct subordinate. Now...

"Humans!"

Lord of Catfish Scorched roared and sped toward the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

Meanwhile, within Human Territory, most of the Universe Masters among the upper echelons had already learned of Noah's existence. They decided they no longer needed to hold back.

They directed their Venerables and Immortals to launch a large-scale counterattack against the other races.

Of all the battlefronts, the fiercest was not against the three races in the Core Land of the universe, but the offensive against the Prison Race!

"Prison King, your Prison Race doesn't even need territory. Why insist on making an enemy of us humans?"

Dragon Walk Master, a Fourth-Order Universe Master of the Human Race and a member of the Virtual Universe Company, wielded his halberd as he fought the Prison Race's Prison King.

He was the first Immortal Level powerhouse in human history and the oldest being in the Human Race today.

Even Peng Gong Master, that old fossil who could already be called a living relic of the Human Race, was merely a junior in his eyes.

Yet his talent was among the worst in the Human Race. The Original Ancestor and Noah had both grown into powerhouses within a million eras.

Even many of the younger generation had surpassed him.

But his contributions to the Human Race were no less than Noah's or the Original Ancestor's.

Without his protection, the Human Race might never have made it this far.

He was also the progenitor of the Dragonkin branch of the Human Race.

He had hunted down the first true dragon in the universe and merged its bloodline into that of humanity.

That was how he earned the name Dragon Walk Master!

"Dragon Walk Master, our circumstances aren't the same. I'm not just saying this as your old pal, but you're too timid!"

Prison King had been the Prison Race's first leader and had established its brutal system of selection.

It wasn't without its benefits. Under his leadership, the Prison Race had risen to become one of the Six Great Peak Races.

Of course, he was no longer the strongest member of the Prison Race. Its current leader was Demon Ancestor, its Universe Strongest!

But Prison King was still its true administrator!

Compared with Dragon Walk Master's protective approach, Prison King stopped at nothing to achieve his aims.

That was exactly how the Prison Race had secured its position today.

"Enough talk. You alone are no match for me!"

Dragon Walk Master said, increasing the strength behind his attacks.

The two were evenly matched, and both were powerhouses from the dawn of the universe who had experienced countless battles.

Their combat experience was about the same!

Unfortunately, the Prison Race was born with all kinds of strange talents that others could only envy.

Prison King, for example, possessed an innate body with illusions and domain abilities comparable to a Peak Supreme Treasure.

A million eras ago, he had killed one of the Eight Natural Beast Gods: the Water-Space Beast God, who commanded the Path of the Beast God of water and space.

Using that as his foundation, he had created the Prison Race's greatest secret realm, the Tidal Secret Realm!

That showed just how formidable he was!

"Then let's find out!" Prison King didn't waste words and immediately revealed his true form.

Seeing this, Dragon Walk Master pushed a soul-type Top-tier Supreme Treasure to its limit.

At the same time, he kept up his attacks.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, the universe's origin land began to tremble!

"What is this...?"

Both of them stopped when they sensed the aura. Disbelief spread across Prison King's face.

"It's Giant Axe! Giant Axe! He—he really did it!"

Dragon Walk Master cried out, two streams of tears spilling from the corners of his eyes.

The joy vanished from Prison King's face.

He turned and fled deep into the Prison Race Territory.

"Oh, my heavens! The Human Race has another Universe Strongest to watch over us!"

"Venerable Virtual Machine, give me your life!"
