"Hmm? Oh no!"

"What's this!"

A massive, dark hand suddenly descended upon the Blue Whale Fortress, then, like an ancient God King, it abruptly grabbed at it!

"What terrifying power!"

"What kind of restraint is this! It's even stronger than Domain-type Supreme Treasure!"

"Boom--" As if by divine punishment, a black hand descended from the sky, attempting to seize the Blue Whale Fortress. However, what the owner of the hand did not expect was that the Blue Whale Fortress was far too fragile!

"Smack!"

The ' Deep Sea Blue Whale,' which looked quite imposing, suddenly seemed to turn into foam, and was actually crushed into dust by the black hand!

"How could this be! I, I clearly... didn't use much power!" The Black Stone Master was stunned for a moment, then his face turned furious!

"Damn it! Whose flying fortress is this? It's so fragile!" He quickly realized that this flying fortress was not a treasure of the Supreme Treasure level; it was probably similar to his previous True Treasure flying palace.

The True Treasure flying palace can barely hold out here for a while, but it cannot last. His original flying palace also ended up in half-ruined state and has not been repaired to this day.

"What's wrong!"

Who is it!

"Hateful!"

Although the Blue Whale Fortress itself was already overburdened, its overall structure was still intact. There was a possibility that it could be repaired by a master craftsman who could use the materials. Now that it had been completely shattered into a pile of debris, Ghost Horn Venerable and the others were naturally furious.

"I wonder who did it!"

"Never mind all that for now, let's get to the planet first!"

"Yes! Let's fly there ourselves!"

Because the Black Stone Master had only used his ' Control of Space-Time ' ability, which is similar to the effect of a domain binding, the power of that grab itself was not particularly terrifying. The reason it directly destroyed the flying fortress was simply that it became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

So at this moment, neither of the three, including Ghost Horn Venerable, had realized that their opponent was a Universe Master!

"Fortunately, the distance isn't too far; we can manage this distance." If they stayed in the 'danger zone' outside for too long, they certainly wouldn't survive long, but they wouldn't be unable to struggle for a while either. At least from their current location, they can still fly to that planet.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...

Four Flowing Light descended one after another onto the dark planet. After landing safely, Ghost Horn Venerable finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was you? Black Stone Venerable? You were the one who shattered our flying fortress!" On the entire giant planet, besides them, there was only one other being, and that was Black Stone Venerable, who had suddenly disappeared!

The Black Stone Venerable was born into a relatively rare race in the universe— the Dark Rock Clan. They are a type of rock-based life form with a natural Life Gene Level ten times higher, similar to the Golden Horned Beast and the Demon Killer Clan.

Of course, when it comes to innate abilities, the Dark Rock Clan's Innate Secret Technique is far less miraculous than the previous two.

With Life Gene Level only ten times that of Human Race, and the treasures he possessed being rather ordinary, even though the Combat Secret Technique he created were of a decent level, this Black Stone Venerable could not be considered a Universe Overlord; he could only be regarded as a relatively top-tier High Venerable.

There were four of them, all of whom could be considered High Venerable. In particular, Blue Wing Venerable was quite powerful, and it was estimated that he alone could fight Black Stone Venerable to a standstill. Therefore, although they discovered Black Stone Venerable, they were not too afraid.

"Hmph! A few mere Human Race venerables? How dare you speak to the great Universe Master like that? You're all courting death!" Seeing the nonchalant expressions on the faces of Blue Wing Venerable and the other Human Race powerhouses, the Black Stone Master, already driven mad by his endless 'prisoner' life, was now even more enraged!

"What! The Universe Master?"

"Impossible!"

Upon hearing the Black Stone Venerable suddenly speak, the group of people who hadn't paid much attention to this ' Black Stone Venerable ' all changed their expressions.

"As expected, that kind of restraint just now was not Domain Supreme Treasure, but ' Control of Space-Time '." Only Mirror Prism Luo Ao was not surprised by this. Although he was not the Universe Master, he could Control of Space-Time and time with his Innate Secret Technique ' Descent of the End ', so he was naturally familiar with that feeling.

"I never expected that this Pingping ordinary Black Stone Venerable would actually break through to the Universe Master. Could it be related to that mold treasure on this planet?" Luo Ao pondered to himself.

"You ignorant fools, how dare you look down on me!" The Black Stone Master, like most rock-type life forms, is relatively large, standing a full ten kilometers tall. His entire body looks as majestic as a black mountain.

Although it cannot compare to those colossal Starry Sky Behemoth and Special Lifeform forms, this divine body, though large, is not small.

"You lot, just die!"

The Black Stone Master was entirely covered in black rock layers, its facial skin was bluish-gray, its eyebrows were also bluish-gray, and two long, curved bluish-gray horns extended from the back of its head. Its two huge, dark gray eyes seemed to carry a terrifying divine might, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

"Boom!"

The entire vast, dark planet, including wilderness, forests, deserts, mountains, swamps, and oceans, was subjected to an irresistible binding force. The Blue Wing Venerable and his companions, who were on the planet, were instantly shocked.

"Oh no, he really is the Universe Master!"

"It is the Universe Master who Control of Space-Time!"

"This Black Stone Venerable has actually broken through to the Universe Master!"

The Blue Wing Venerable and his companions, who had just narrowly escaped death, were instantly filled with grief and indignation. What happened to the saying that surviving a great calamity would bring good fortune?

Before they could even celebrate for long, they were faced with another Universe Master!

The Universe Master is a completely different concept from the Universe Venerable.

Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that they can control a region of space and time is enough to make their lives incredibly difficult, making even walking or moving a single muscle extremely challenging. If they can't even move, how can they possibly resist?

" Black Stone Master! Stop!"

You can't kill us!

"That's right, our race's Universe Master has already descended upon this perilous place and will arrive here soon!"

" Black Stone Master, you've probably only recently broken through to the next level, so your strength is unlikely to be comparable to that of my clan's Chaos City Lord and the others!"

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the Ghost Horn Venerable immediately used their divine power to transmit their roars and summoned the great beings of their clan to raise the Tiger Flag, attempting to intimidate the Black Stone Master.

"Hmph! The environment here is probably unusable even in your Human Race's Virtual Universe. If I kill you, who will know? What can the Chaos City Lord do to me?" The Black Stone Master clearly had some basic understanding of the ' Lost Land '.

"You're mistaken. Asura has the ability to create clones. If you kill us, Asura's clones will definitely notify our race's Universe Master."

"That's right, Asura Venerable's teacher is the Lord of Ice Peak of my Human Race. Black Stone Master, you've only recently broken through, so you probably don't want to face a great being of my Human Race!"

Bound by the Black Stone Master, Ghost Horn Venerable and the others had no room to struggle, but they were very grateful for the existence of Asura.

The Asura Venerable has the ability to create clones, so he could easily expose the Black Stone Master's underhanded tactics against them. Moreover, given Asura's status, his teacher, who is known for his strong sense of justice, would likely not let the Black Stone Master off the hook either.

" Lord of Ice Peak?" Upon hearing this title, the Black Stone Master was somewhat wary. Although he was unclear about the specific strength divisions among the Universe Master, he knew that the Lord of Ice Peak was a very strong existence among the Universe Master, and had once relentlessly pursued the Yan Emperor of the Nine Domains Alliance.

"You'd better not be lying to me!" The Black Stone Master frowned, but he didn't readily believe the three men's words.

" Black Stone Master, this avatar of mine is Energy Lifeform without a soul. You should know what that means." Mirror Prism Luo Ao looked calmly at the Black Stone Master, but inwardly he was assessing the strength of both sides.

" The Black Stone Master, confined in this cage-like wasteland, certainly couldn't have obtained any powerful Supreme Treasure, otherwise he would have left long ago. His Life Gene Level has probably only increased from 10 times to 100 times, and he has no powerful inheritance, no opponents to spar with, so his secret techniques are probably just average..."

The weakest of the Universe Master who dare to show themselves in the Primal Universe are usually top-tier second-order beings close to third-order. First-tier Universe Master are almost impossible to find. Such beings can only appear when they have just broken through to the next level. With a little help from their race (alliance), they can quickly reach the strength of the second order.

However, this Black Stone Master has no background, and besides the mold, there are no other treasures or materials here, so he cannot improve his Life Gene Level. His current strength is most likely at the legendary and extremely rare level of ' First-tier Universe Master '.

"If we also consider the difference in the Supreme Treasure, this Black Stone Master might even be killed by Top Universe Overlord defies the heavens..." Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a Top Universe Overlord to turn the tables on Universe Master, but with the Black Stone Master, he saw this possibility.

"It's a pity that my Flame God Clone isn't here, otherwise killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken!" Relying solely on the Mirror Prism Clone, firstly, the Mirror Prism Clone is Supreme Treasure a priceless treasure, and secondly, the Mirror Prism Clone only has a hundred times the power of a Venerable God, and its true divine body is only twenty meters tall, so the total amount of divine power is too little. Even if it only uses the first stage of ' Descent of the End ', it will directly enter the 'countdown' state.

"However, it's fortunate that I had a trump card hidden in advance." It was precisely because he had a trump card to fight against the Black Stone Master that Mirror Prism Luo Ao was still not very flustered at this moment.

While Luo Ao was thinking at the speed of light, the Black Stone Master also directly used his Void Divine Power to invade the guy whom the other three called ' Asura Venerable '.

"Truly Energy Lifeform." The Black Stone Master frowned immediately after discovering that his Void Divine Power invasion had no effect whatsoever.

There are only two possibilities in this situation.

First, this ' Asura Venerable ' does indeed possess the ability to create clones. After all, it's impossible to seize the body of such a special Energy Lifeform through possession. Only through the ability to create clones could such a soulless Energy Lifeform be conceived.

Secondly, these individuals are colluding to lie. This ' Asura Venerable ' is not a direct descendant of the Human Race, but a venerable being from Alien Race in the Hongmeng, and is himself an Energy Lifeform.

Both possibilities exist, but the Black Stone Master didn't want to provoke the behemoth that is the Human Race just for a moment's pleasure, so he chose to back down.

"Very well, for the sake of the Universe Master, I will spare your lives. However, while you may be spared the death penalty, you will not escape punishment. You few have just offended me, so now hand over all the treasures you possess to atone for your sins." The Black Stone Master's voice was very calm, and he even felt that he was 'good-tempered' and had already been very merciful.

In truth, he didn't care whether he killed a few Universe Venerable or not. What he mainly cared about were the treasures they carried, preferably treasures that could help him improve his life level or that could be useful when 'crossing the starry sky tides'.

What he truly desired was a Palace-type Supreme Treasure.

With his current strength, even if he only has an Ordinary Supreme Treasure palace, as long as the flying palace itself can withstand the impact of the star tide, he is confident that he can break through.

"Hand over all the treasures?"

"This..."

Upon hearing that the Black Stone Master would spare their lives, Ghost Horn Venerable and the others were overjoyed. However, when they were told to hand over all their treasures, the three of them turned pale.

Handing over all the treasures is tantamount to dying outside, and it will take countless epochs to make up for this loss.

"What? You're unwilling? Hand over all the treasures, and at least you won't die. If you die here... hmph! You might not be able to be resurrected." Hearing the Black Stone Master's cold snort, the three couldn't help but shiver.

"What to do?"

"This is indeed a difficult situation for the Black Stone Master..." What a revered position the Universe Master holds!

Giving them a choice is already considered 'merciful'. Even the Chaos City Lord and his ilk wouldn't go on a rampage against this Universe Master just because the Black Stone Master 'plundered' the treasures of several High Venerable within their clan.

" Asura, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. I think we should just do it honestly." The Black Bone Venerable didn't have a single Supreme Treasure on him, only a few Top-tier True Treasure, so he didn't care much.

"Alas, there's nothing we can do; we can only blame our bad luck." Even the most powerful weapon of the Ghost Horn Venerable, the claw gauntlet, was just an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, and it's going to be lost here too.

" Blue Wing, I know you're reluctant. But if you keep your life, at least you'll have a chance to rise again." Ghost Horn Venerable looked down at Blue Wing Venerable face was contorted with struggle.

Blue Wing Venerable is considered the core of their trio, possessing the strongest strength and the most powerful Supreme Treasure. He has two Supreme Treasure in total. Besides the Ordinary Supreme Treasure weapon, the value of his blue wings is extraordinary, almost comparable to an ordinary High-grade Supreme Treasure.

It's fair to say that seventy percent of the Blue Wing Venerable's wealth lies in his pair of blue Winged Supreme Treasure. Taking away his blue wings would be worse than killing him!

"This Black Stone Master..." In fact, Mirror Prism Luo Ao was not reluctant to part with the Supreme Treasure he carried. After all, although he carried five or six treasures, they were all ordinary-level Supreme Treasure, and he would not care at all if he lost them.

However, once the Black Stone Master hands over the numerous treasures and resources, he could very well become stronger and escape.
