In the Inner Domain of the Star Ruins, on a Huang Wu continent shrouded in gray mist.
This is the Blood-Colored Wasteland, an ordinary yet dangerous place amidst the Star Ruins, where Universe Master often seek opportunities.
At this moment, in a hazy gray mist, three figures were cautiously moving forward. Leading them was a Demon Race Universe Master shrouded in black mist, followed by two other Universe Master from other forces in the Primal Universe.
"This was a good haul. The Star Core of that Level 5 star beast can at least be used to forge a Soul Defense Supreme Treasure back in the Alliance." The leading Demon Race Universe Master spoke with a hint of pride. "When we get back, I'll treat you to drinks."
"Then thank you in advance, Master of Demon Warfare," the Universe Master behind him said with a smile.
Another Universe Master spoke up, " Demon Warfare, I heard that your Demon Race recently offended that Master Xue You, and even the Master of the Final Nightmare has perished... Aren't you afraid he'll come after you?"
"Afraid?" The Master of Demon Warfare snorted. "Even if Master Xue You is strong, he's still just one person. The Universe Ocean is vast and boundless. Could he possibly kill all the Universe Master of the entire Demon Race Alliance? Besides, I'm deep within the Star Ruins. How could he possibly..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill rise from the depths of his soul, as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.
He turned his head sharply and saw a blood-red figure standing not far behind them, its robes fluttering slightly in the Chaos air currents.
"Blood... Master Xue You?"
The Master of Demon Warfare's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to use Teleportation to escape. Although Teleportation was extremely dangerous here, compared to Master Xue You's, this Teleportation seemed insignificant.
But the instant he activated his divine power, a powerful Will Impact surged forth like a tidal wave, directly crushing into the depths of his soul. Before he could even utter a scream, his eyes dimmed instantly, and his massive divine body collapsed to the ground as if it had lost its support.
With just one glance, a Universe Master perished.
The other two Universe Master stood frozen in place, their bodies stiff, even breathing became difficult.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Supreme Treasure, casually stored them in his storage space, then turned to the two Universe Master, saying in a flat tone, "Sorry to have disturbed you."
"No... we won't disturb you!" The two Universe Master shook their heads simultaneously, their voices trembling. "It is our honor to see Master Xue You's true face."
"That's right, we have long admired Master Xue You and even planned to ask him to forge a Master Xue You Supreme Treasure for us," another Universe Master hurriedly added.
Lu Qingshan didn't say anything more, turned around and transformed into a streak of blood light, disappearing into the depths of the gray mist.
Only after his aura had completely dissipated did the two Universe Master dare to breathe heavily.
One of them collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. " The Master of Demon Warfare... he's dead just like that?"
"He was at the peak of Level 4 Universe Master, yet he didn't even have a chance to fight back; he was killed with a single glance..."
" Master Xue You... he's terrifying!"
" The Demon Race Alliance has really bitten off more than they can chew this time. How dare they attack Master Xue You's subordinates?" "It's probably because the True God of Ten Thousand Demons broke through and made them arrogant. They think they can compete with the top experts in the Universe Ocean. Master Xue You went to the Sunken Moon Pool again... I didn't expect Master Xue You to come out of the Sunken Moon Pool so quickly."
" Master Xue You's future is undoubtedly limitless, having emerged from the Sunken Moon Pool. It's likely that a second Holy Land Universe will soon appear in the Universe Ocean. That guy, Master of Stone Steps, has truly had incredible luck."
"It's more than just luck; it's pure destiny. By siding with Master Xue You, you'll be an eternal being."
The two exchanged a glance, neither daring to linger, and quickly flew off in the opposite direction from where Master Xue You had gone.
Several days later, in another corner of the Star Ruins.
Two Universe Master from the Demon Race Alliance are exploring the edge of a continental rift, where a Supreme Treasure is about to be born. They seem to be in good spirits, even already planning how to boast about their find upon returning to the alliance.
Just as they were about to obtain the Supreme Treasure, a blood-red figure appeared silently above them.
" Master Xue You!"
The two Universe Master' expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they quickly took a few steps back.
Master Xue You was just a short while ago with the Master of Demon Warfare of the Inner Domain of the Star Ruins, wasn't he? How could he suddenly be here?
Knowing the distance between the two places, even True God would need years to reach them, not to mention the countless dangerous places along the way. Seeing Master Xue You, they naturally understood that they were in deep trouble!
One of them forced a smile and said, " Master Xue You, you can't attack us! The Black Butcher Holy Land Universe has stated that one cannot arbitrarily attack powerful beings within the Primal Universe! You can't..."
"Then let the True God of Ten Thousand Demons go to the Black Butcher Holy Land to complain," Lu Qingshan said calmly, "And see if they'll care."
The Universe Master was speechless for a moment.
Although the Black Butcher Holy Land said this, it wasn't a demand. Everyone was just giving the Black Butcher Holy Land face. Since Master Xue You didn't give them face, there was nothing the Holy Land could do.
Moreover, they were well aware that they had provoked Master Xue You, rather than him attacking their Demon Race Alliance without cause. If the matter escalated to the Holy Land Universe, they might not even be in the right.
Most importantly, now is not the time to reason with them; whether they will survive is still unknown.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately fled in opposite directions.
Lu Qingshan simply watched them coldly.
The two Will Impact struck simultaneously, and the two Demon Race Universe Master didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before they completely lost consciousness.
A moment later, Lu Qingshan put away their Supreme Treasure and turned to leave.
In this void, only the Supreme Treasure about to be born continues to slowly emit light, as if nothing had ever happened. Deep within the Primal Universe, in the territory of the Demon Race race.
The True God of Ten Thousand Demons sat on his throne, receiving message after message. Several Universe Master of the Demon Race Alliance sat beside him, their faces grim.
"Three more have fallen." The True God of Ten Thousand Demons finally spoke, his voice weary and tinged with despair.
" The Master of Demon Warfare, the Master of Bewitching Heart, the Master of Molten Bone... In just a few years, three of our Demon Race's Universe Master in the Universe Ocean have fallen. Adding to the seven who perished in the previous incident with the Master of the Final Nightmare, a total of ten Universe Master our Demon Race Alliance have fallen!"
Ten Universe Master!
Even for the Demon Race Alliance, this is a huge loss.
How long has the Primal Universe been around? Even though their Demon Race Alliance is one of the two super powers in the Primal Universe and has the upper hand against the Sea Race, it is still an unbearable loss.
" True God of Ten Thousand Demons, what should we do?" a Universe Master couldn't help but ask. " Master Xue You's speed is terrifying. Those two places are countless light-years apart, separated by more than a dozen dangerous areas. Even True God would need several years to arrive. But he... he arrived in just a few days. If he continues to kill like this, none of us Universe Master in the Universe Ocean will survive."
"And the Master of the Final Nightmare..." another Universe Master's voice was filled with fear, "Even you didn't see anything wrong back then, yet he chose to self-destruct within your Small Universe. Master Xue You's methods are too terrifying. If he wants to attack us, we simply can't defend against it."
The True God of Ten Thousand Demons closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
After a long silence, he slowly said, "Send down the order: all Demon Race Universe Master are venturing in the Universe Ocean must retreat to the Primal Universe. They are not allowed to linger in the Universe Ocean."
"Withdraw everything?" The two Universe Master were stunned. "What about our resources and strongholds in the Universe Ocean...?" "Life is more important than resources." The True God of Ten Thousand Demons opened his eyes, a trace of weariness in them. " Master Xue You's speed far exceeded our expectations. He's hunting down our Universe Master in the Universe Ocean; we simply don't have time to rescue him, nor can we possibly do so."
"Then... is there any news from the Black Butcher Holy Land...?" a Universe Master probed.
The True God of Ten Thousand Demons shook his head. "I've sent a message, but there's been no response. We can't count on the Black Butcher Holy Land. Their so-called protection is just a polite remark from the Holy Land's Progenitor when he's in a good mood. Master Xue You is someone who emerged from the Sunken Moon Pool. With his talent, he has a very high chance of creating Holy Land Universe in the future. The Black Butcher Progenitor won't offend him for our sake."
The several Universe Master fell silent simultaneously.
They naturally understood that compared to a powerful being who could potentially create Holy Land Universe, their Demon Race Alliance was nothing. Even if their Demon Race Alliance could go through three Reincarnation Era, to the Black Butcher Progenitor, they were merely fleeting visitors.
Just then, an urgent message broke their silence.
" True God of Ten Thousand Demons! Something terrible has happened!" A Universe Master in charge of intelligence on the Sea Race suddenly sent a message, "News has come from the Sea Race... The Master of Eternal Abyss has broken through! He has entered the True God Realm!"
"What!" The True God of Ten Thousand Demons turned his head sharply, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. "How is this possible? How could he break through so quickly?!"
"It is said that Master Xue You gave them a complete breakthrough inheritance... The Master of Eternal Abyss broke through directly in one seclusion, and his Small Universe is currently separating from the Primal Universe!"
A deathly silence fell over the main hall.
The True God of Ten Thousand Demons stood rooted to the spot, his expression shifting rapidly. After a long while, he slowly exhaled, his voice carrying an unprecedented sense of despondency. " The Demon Race Alliance is finished."
" Ten Thousand Demons..." "Why is this happening! We clearly had the advantage."
The True God of Ten Thousand Demons sighed, his voice growing softer and softer. "With Master Xue You present, we cannot go to the Universe Ocean Universe Ocean, nor can we obtain its resources and opportunities. The Master of Eternal Abyss has now broken through, and within the Primal Universe, we cannot completely annihilate the Sea Race. Meanwhile, the Sea Race can go to the Universe Ocean to develop and grow stronger... With this shift in power, our Demon Race Alliance will soon be surpassed by the Sea Race."
"Isn't there any other way?"
"Unless Master Xue You is willing to let us go," the True God of Ten Thousand Demons said with a bitter smile, "But we captured his people first and coveted his treasures. Do you think he will let us go?"
No one answered.
Inside the palace, everyone fell silent.
Everyone knew they were in trouble, but no one knew how to solve it.
"I shouldn't have offended Master Xue You in the first place!"
A sigh followed.
Under pressure, a Demon Race Universe Master uttered words that others dared not say.
If they hadn't offended Master Xue You back then, the Demon Race Alliance wouldn't be in its current state. Capturing the Master of Stone Steps was the worst decision the Demon Race Alliance ever made.
