Lord Wuhun: My Horn!!!

As soon as Hikari spoke these words, a wave of hushed discussion rippled through the grand hall.

"Venerable Phantom?"

Someone repeated the name in a low voice, their tone tinged with a hint of surprise.

This Venerable originated from the Hall of Thousand Treasures of the Virtual Universe Company and was renowned for his ever-changing methods and exquisite mastery of the laws.

He was particularly skilled in concealment and espionage, having achieved remarkable merits on the intelligence front.

In terms of seniority, he had only stepped into the realm of a universe overlord for a hundred thousand epochs, still belonging to the "younger" generation.

In terms of strength, although he was a high-level Venerable, he had relied on his masterful soul illusions and several special supreme treasures to retreat unscathed from top-tier overlords multiple times, even boasting the astonishing record of successfully infiltrating core intelligence of the Bug Race.

"His seniority is slightly shallow; to have him guard a star sector, is it..." a universe master from the Universe Mercenary Alliance hesitated.

"Seniority is something earned over time, after all. In terms of merit, Phantom is not lacking; he is even far superior to some universe venerables who have broken through many years ago.

Furthermore, only a powerhouse like this can better monitor an entire star sector!"

Hikari waved his hand, displaying the merits of Venerable Phantom. To him, whether he recommended him or not made no difference.

After all, a top-tier treasure-refining master was a figure to be revered by any race.

It was just that this Venerable Phantom happened to be a disciple under his tutelage, and although he lacked talent in scientific research and artifact refining, he possessed the highest combat talent among all his disciples. To him, the higher this disciple climbed, the better!

"Since it is a recommendation from Lord of Wisdom Light, then Venerable Phantom shall serve as a sector lord. However, considering his strength, the native secret realms within his territory shall be managed by other venerables!"

Giant Axe made the final decision, settling the matter.

Soon, the meeting concluded. The sector lords for the other two star sectors came from the Universe Galaxy Bank and the Universe Mercenary Alliance, respectively.

As for the three top-tier secret realms obtained from the Bug Race this time, they were taken by the Space Garrison.

The Universe First Bank was funded jointly by the other major powers, which served as a reward for the negotiations led by Lord of Qingdong.

Of course, such trivial matters held no significance for powerhouses at the level of universe venerables and above!

On the other side, Tiga, guided by the Silk-Trailing Map, had left the Boundless Heavenly Pool through a secret passage between wormholes.

"It really is better to have a map!"

Once they left, Star Crystal Lord, who had been trapped in the Boundless Heavenly Pool for many years, sighed with emotion.

Tiga, however, stared at the surroundings with a grave expression. "They're here!"

Before the words had even faded, a flash of sword light swept toward them.

"Lord Wuhun!?"

Star Crystal Lord let out an exclamation, and the high-level supreme treasure armor on his body manifested instantly.

They saw the figure of Lord Wuhun appearing at the junction of the Cloud Realm and Heavenly Pool Mountain.

"Star Crystal Lord, hand over the item, otherwise... hmph!"

The aura emanating from Lord Wuhun climbed sharply.

His figure gradually transformed into the form of a Beast God, with four hooves, three pairs of wings, nine tails, and five heads, giving off a bizarre, Cthulhu-like aura.

Yet, this could not conceal his formidable strength.

Unlike the Wind and Thunder Beast God path fusion mentioned by Star Crystal Lord, this Lord Wuhun before them had directly fused the five major Beast God paths of the space attribute.

Hence, he was named Wuhun!

His combat power had long reached the sixth tier. Although he was not a match for Tiga, Tiga had no intention of exposing his trump cards so easily at this moment.

"Lord Wuhun, let's talk after we fight!"

Star Crystal Lord naturally would not surrender without a fight and immediately launched a fierce attack.

Seeing this, Tiga knew that Star Crystal Lord had likely planned to drag him into the fray all along.

But he had no time to react; wielding a long sword that was a top-tier supreme treasure, he also charged out.

"Well fought!"

Having lived through three reincarnation eras and experienced countless battles, Lord Wuhun naturally felt not a shred of fear when facing Star Crystal Lord and the strength-concealing Tiga.

The peak supreme treasure "Extermination God Armor" manifested on his body, and his aura continued to climb.

In Star Crystal Lord's hand was the Star Sword, a top-tier killing supreme treasure.

Yet, when it landed on Lord Wuhun, it did not leave a single mark.

"Star Destroyer!"

Star Crystal Lord let out a loud shout, and his divine body instantly began to burn.

Lord Wuhun was no sandbag that would just sit still; seeing this, he also summoned his own supreme treasures to clash with him.

It is no wonder he is a veteran powerhouse; his experience alone is far beyond what the Star Crystal Lord can compare to, as he parried every one of the Star Crystal Lord's attacks with nothing more than nimble maneuvering.

Meanwhile, the attacks from Tiga followed in quick succession!

The target of his assault was precisely the giant horn atop the head of the Lord Wuhun, which had been condensed from the Law of Gold after his transformation into a beast god.

"Light of the Five Elements!"

The Lord Wuhun certainly would not sit still and wait for death; the golden horn on his head exerted force instantly, blasting out an attack condensed from five different laws.

Tiga stepped back slightly, using the longsword in his hand to deflect the incoming attack just enough to miss.

Boom—

A massive sound erupted, and looking over, one could see a giant hole blasted into the mountainside of Heavenly Pool Mountain by the Lord Wuhun's attack.

"As expected of the number one person under the True Masters of the God Eye Clan, truly formidable!"

Tiga expressed his admiration for the Lord Wuhun's attack.

"Since that is the case, why not retreat quickly? Once the powerhouses of my clan arrive, what chance will you, Lord of Radiance, have to turn the tables?"

The Lord Wuhun did not care for Tiga's praise, but since he was facing a powerhouse of the same level, he dared not be arrogant.

He could only use the reputation and strength of his race in an attempt to force Tiga to retreat.

"Lord of Radiance, do not listen to his nonsense. If you leave today, given the nature of the God Eye Clan, will you ever have a peaceful day again?"

Hearing this, the Star Crystal Lord shouted while charging toward the Lord Wuhun.

Tiga naturally understood this logic as well, so he did not reply, instead turning his body to charge at the Lord Wuhun.

However, a performance must be done in full; the strength Tiga was currently displaying was only that of a Tier 5 Universe Master, so naturally, it was difficult to defeat the equally ranked but far more experienced Lord Wuhun, and so...

"You actually dare... I will kill you!"

The golden horn atop the Lord Wuhun's head ultimately did not escape the fate of being snapped off by the Horn-Breaking Maniac.

But this undoubtedly ignited the fury of the Lord Wuhun, and he brought out yet another peak supreme treasure.

"This is... Oh no, retreat quickly!"

Seeing this, the Star Crystal Lord did not hesitate in the slightest, his figure instantly retreating a million kilometers, and he continued to retreat further.

"Too late!"

The Lord Wuhun shouted, "Water Wave Prison, rise!"

"A domain-type supreme treasure? A fine trick indeed!"

Looking at the rising domain, Tiga appeared panicked on the surface, but his heart remained calm.

Unless the several True Masters of the God Eye Clan attacked simultaneously using a combined secret technique, he could retreat with ease.

And as for the present...

"Do you really think that only you, Lord Wuhun, possess a peak supreme treasure?"
