The Master of Golden Flame gave a bitter laugh, "Fine! Then let me see just how strong you really are!"
He burned his entire divine body, transforming into a Golden Flowing Light as he charged towards Lu Ming. This was a desperate attack, and also his last vestige of dignity as the Universe Master!
Lu Ming's expression was solemn, showing this powerful figure his final respect. He unleashed the full power of the Desolate Extinction Blade, the dark red blade light clashing violently with the Golden Flowing Light!
"Boom--"
As the golden light faded, the figure of the Master of Golden Flame vanished completely from this void.
The six God Eye Race Universe Master were completely wiped out!
Lu Ming stood quietly in the void, savoring the gains from this battle.
Not only did they prove their own strength, but they also obtained a large amount of spoils, especially the Master of Shadow Pupil who was in a slumber of soul, whose value was immeasurable!
" The God Eye Race..."
He gathered all his spoils, and with a flash, disappeared into the depths of the Qingfeng Realm.
Meanwhile, in a distant Miniature Universe of the God Eye Race, seven terrifying auras soared into the sky!
"Golden Flame, Phantom Pupil, Spirit Charm, Flowing Light, Rock Pupil, Shadow Eye... six Universe Master have fallen simultaneously!"
"Who is it?! Who on earth is it?!"
"I need information! Use all means to find out the truth immediately!"
Whoever it is, they must pay the price!
The Seven True Masters of the God Eye Race are enraged, and the entire Universe Ocean will tremble!
At the core of the God Eye Race's Miniature Universe, seven towering figures sat encircled, each radiating a pressure that shook the universe.
"Found it!"
The Third True Master suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes burning with rage.
"It's that human! The Master of Ash Universe of the Human Race!"
"What?"
Spacetime is distorted around the First True Master.
"Is that the Master of Ash Universe who hunted down our race's Universe Master Lord ten thousand years ago?"
The Seventh True Master gritted his teeth. "It was him! Ten thousand years ago, he was just a newcomer to the Universe Ocean. Who would have thought that after ten thousand years, he would dare to kill six of my God Eye Race's Universe Master!"
The Second True Master's voice was icy. "According to the last information relayed by the survivors, this Master of Ash Universe is suspected of possessing an Supreme True Treasure War Blade, and his secret techniques have reached the peak of the Sixth Order, making his strength comparable to the strongest being in the universe!"
"Impossible!"
The Fourth True Master slammed his fist on the table and rose up.
"Ten thousand years to advance from the Fourth Order to the peak of the Sixth Order? Is this even human? Absolutely impossible!"
The Fifth True Master said in a deep voice.
"But the facts are undeniable. Jin Yan and his group's Six-Harmony God-Slaying Array, despite its power approaching the seventh rank, was still completely annihilated."
The Sixth True Master's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "No matter what extraordinary encounters he has had, daring to kill six Universe Master my God Eye Race, he must pay the price!"
The First True Master slowly rose, and the entire Miniature Universe trembled under his oppressive aura. "Send down the order, utilize all intelligence networks, I need to know the exact location of the Master of Ash Universe!"
"You're going to take action yourself?"
The Third True Master asked.
"Good."
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the First True Master.
"This child's growth rate is terrifying. If given more time, he will surely become a major threat to our God Eye Race. This time, I will personally take action to eliminate this threat forever!"
The First True Master sneered.
I won't give him any chance this time!
"In that case, we wish the First True Master swift success!"
All the gods said in unison.
The First True Master's gaze pierced through the void, as if he could already see Lu Ming's figure. " Master of Ash Universe... This time, I will let you know the consequences of offending the God Eye Race!"
While the God Eye Race was making preparations, Lu Ming was taking stock of his spoils in a secluded spot deep within the Qingfeng Realm.
"Three Peak Supreme Treasure, twenty-one other Supreme Treasure of various levels, and a large quantity of precious materials..."
Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction.
" The God Eye Race is indeed wealthy."
His gaze finally settled on the slumbering Master of Shadow Pupil: "Most importantly, this is the most valuable thing. A captured Universe Master is priceless."
However, Lu Ming did not immediately deal with the Master of Shadow Pupil, but instead began refining those Peak Supreme Treasure.
He planned to sacrifice all these Supreme Treasure to further enhance his power.
" The God Eye Race lost six Universe Master; they certainly won't let this go."
Lu Ming understood perfectly.
"Next up, I'm afraid, will be the strongest being in the universe."
After finding a relatively safe and secluded place deep within the Qingfeng Realm, Lu Ming began to deal with his greatest spoils of war— the Master of Shadow Pupil.
"It would be unwise to start a full-scale war with the God Eye Race now."
Lu Ming calmly analyzed the situation.
"I have just received the Star Spirit Race inheritance, and I have yet to comprehend many of its secret techniques, nor fully refine many of its Supreme Treasure. Rather than fighting head-on now, it would be better to return to the Primal Universe and cultivate diligently."
His gaze fell upon the slumbering Master of Shadow Pupil: "However, this Master of Shadow Pupil is troublesome. The Universe Master from the First Reincarnation Era was simply unable to enter the Primal Universe."
There is an ironclad rule in the Universe Ocean.
Apart from the beings of the Third Reincarnation Era, the powerful beings of the first two Reincarnation Era were unable to enter the Primal Universe.
This is a protective mechanism of the Origin Will of the Original Universe.
"Since that's the case..."
A glint of light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
"Then I have no choice but to enslave him and keep him in the Universe Ocean as my eyes and ears and an asset."
The Master of Shadow Pupil is a top -Fourth Order Universe Master, considered a top-tier combatant below the strongest beings in the universe.
If they can be successfully enslaved, it will greatly benefit Lu Ming's operations in the Universe Ocean.
Lu Ming immediately took action.
He first set up multiple layers of restrictions around the area to ensure that nothing went wrong.
" The Star Spirit Race's ' Soul Seal Enslavement Technique ' is worth a try."
Lu Ming formed hand seals, and his soul power slowly surged forth.
This secret art of enslavement, inherited from the Star Spirit Race, is extremely sophisticated.
Because the Master of Shadow Pupil was in a deep slumber of soul, the enslavement process went exceptionally smoothly.
In less than half a day, Lu Ming successfully planted Soul Seal in the core of his soul.
Lu Ming then took out the Chaos Source Spring.
The pure Origin Energy flowed like a gentle stream into the Master of Shadow Pupil's nearly collapsing divine body.
Under the miraculous effects of the Chaos Source Spring, the divine body, which Annihilation by more than 90%, began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the Swallowed Star World, Soul Enslavement is the most thorough form of control.
Once successfully enslaved, they will develop absolute loyalty and obedience to their master from the depths of their soul, and will not hesitate in the slightest even if their master orders them to commit suicide.
This kind of enslavement is more reliable than any oath and is the ultimate means of controlling others in the universe.
When the divine body recovered to about 30%, the consciousness of the Master of Shadow Pupil began to gradually awaken.
He slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Lu Ming standing in front of him, there was no hatred or anger in his eyes, only awe and obedience from the depths of his soul.
"Owner."
The Master of Shadow Pupil struggled to his feet, then knelt respectfully on one knee, his head bowed, his posture one of extreme humility.
At this moment, he was no longer the renowned Universe Master of the God Eye Race, but Lu Ming's most loyal servant.
This is the terrifying aspect of Soul Enslavement. It does not erase the memories and emotions of the enslaved, but it implants an imprint of absolute loyalty to the master deep within their soul.
Even though the Master of Shadow Pupil clearly remembers everything that happened before, and how Lu Ming killed his companions, under the influence of the enslavement mark, he will still maintain absolute obedience to Lu Ming.
