"No, we can't let the Black Stone Master escape." Under other circumstances, it wouldn't matter, but clearly, the mold for that Peak Supreme Treasure in this dimension is now definitely on him.
"If the Black Stone Master gets away, that mold will be gone too." With that thought, Luo Ao immediately decided to use the last trump card he had brought with him.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, an inconspicuous World Ring on his body shattered, and then a thick white mist enveloped the surrounding space, actually managing to forcefully break free from the Black Stone Master's restraints.
"Don't resist, let Lord Xiwu take you in!" The sudden appearance of this terrifying, thick white mist startled everyone present. However, after hearing Luo Ao's telepathic message, the others didn't run around. Instead, they had Lord Xiwu, who had suddenly appeared, take them into a World Ring.
"This is!"
Upon seeing the thick white fog that suddenly enveloped tens of thousands of kilometers of space and time, and combining it with Luo Ao Ao's Ghost Horn Venerable message, the three of them immediately understood that this was the renowned Top Universe Overlord — Lord Xiwu!
The four, including Mirror Prism Luo Ao, temporarily hid inside the World Ring, leaving only the Lord Xiwu and the Black Stone Master outside to confront each other.
"It's you? Lord Xiwu!" The Black Stone Master's somber gaze suddenly locked onto the enormous 'mist' life form that had suddenly appeared.
As Special Lifeform with an innate, heaven-defying Life Gene Level, Lord Xiwu is indeed one of the strongest beings under the Universe Master.
" Xiwu, you, a Top Universe Overlord, dare to contend with me, the Universe Master!" Seeing the white-clad girl materializing amidst the swirling clouds, the Black Stone Master was extremely enraged!
Before his breakthrough, he naturally wouldn't dare to provoke such a Top Universe Overlord, after all, it's said that Lord Xiwu's Life Gene Level is 6000 times stronger, and his basic strength alone is far greater than that of a normal Venerable. But times have changed, and now he is the Universe Master!
The so-called Universe Master was actually blocked by a Top Overlord. This is too much of an insult to him!
"Hmph, Black Stone Master, whether I can contend with you or not, we'll only know after the contest!" In fact, at first, Lord Xiwu herself did not dare to show herself and make a move directly, but after Luo Ao's 'analysis', she instantly understood that the Black Stone Master, who was trapped here as a prisoner, was just a 'paper tiger' and his strength was not necessarily much stronger than hers.
"Outrageous! Today I'll show you the difference between Universe Master and Top Universe Overlord!" The Black Stone Master was completely enraged this time, and he even planned to kill the other four humans as well to quell his 'rage'.
"Anyone can talk big. I'm standing right here today, what can you do to me?" Lord Xiwu's voice was somewhat loud at this moment. After all, she was going against a Universe Master this time.
"So you think you can do anything to me! Today you will all die!" A dark Black Iron instantly appeared in the Black Stone Master's hand. This Black Iron was merely an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, hardly befitting his status Universe Master. However, it was more than enough to deal with a Top Overlord!
"Take this!" Without saying a word, the Black Stone Master came up and smashed down with his club. In an instant, it was as if a ghostly world was overturned and crushed over, or as if a raging flood was about to engulf the entire space-time!
Although the weapon was merely an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, he was the Universe Master, possessing unparalleled divine power and secret techniques far beyond the reach of any Universe Overlord. Therefore, the power of this attack was not to be underestimated.
" Asura, Lord Xiwu, is only a Venerable after all. No matter how powerful he is, how could he possibly contend with the Universe Master?" At the very beginning of the battle, the three, including Blue Wing Venerable, were not optimistic about this battle. They even thought that it was very unwise for Asura to go against a Universe Master.
However, if the three of them hadn't relied on each other, they would have been dead long ago, so at this moment they didn't dare to say anything to complain about each other.
"Look! Lord Xiwu take the attack!"
"That's Lord Xiwu's ultimate move, Light of Xiwu!"
Despite saying he looked down on the Black Stone Master, in reality, when they faced each other, Lord Xiwu didn't dare to hold back at all and immediately unleashed his ultimate move!
"This is... the Xiwu Realm! Damn it!" Seeing the Lord Xiwu summon a vast realm shrouded in a hazy silver glow, the Black Stone Master grew even more enraged.
The Xiwu Realm is the treasure that Lord Xiwu famous; it is a high- Domain Supreme Treasure. When combined with Lord Xiwu's own Innate Secret Technique — 'Cloud Mist Domain' —the combined power is comparable to a top-grade high- Domain Supreme Treasure!
"As expected of Lord Xiwu, his domain techniques are even stronger than my Snow Lotus Realm." Luo Ao was also closely watching this battle.
"Buzz--"
After the combined explosion of the Xiwu Realm and the ' Cloud Mist Domain ', the domain's strength was even able to break free from the Black Stone Master's Control of Space-Time for an instant.
Then, within the dual domains, the endless world suddenly darkened, forming a hazy silver world. Then, a beam of light illuminating the dark world suddenly shot out, meeting the Black Stone Master's terrifying blow!
"Boom!"
Although the power of that radiance was extremely concentrated, and it was Lord Xiwu's strongest move, it was still brutally shattered by the Black Iron. Then, the iron rod continued its momentum and smashed into the clouds!
"Bang!"
Lord Xiwu felt a slight tremor in her body as a powerful impact struck her Supreme Treasure Armor. However, her armor was High-grade Supreme Treasure and had already been activated to its third form, which could weaken material attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original size.
After being weakened by the Supreme Treasure Armor, this blow posed no threat whatsoever. In fact, after being weakened a second time by her own body, the impact couldn't harm her in the slightest!
"Hahaha! Black Stone Master, is this all you've got, you great Universe Master?" Although she had just been at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation, the power of that last strike was enough; even if she stood there and let her opponent hit her, what could they do to her?
"How is that possible!"
"This! No way!"
" The Black Stone Master's furious strike couldn't even weaken Lord Xiwu's divine body by the slightest?"
The result of this duel completely astonished the three of them!
"This Lord Xiwu is too overpowered! He's going head-to-head with the Universe Master!"
Outside the circle, even the Black Stone Master is undoubtedly unable to accept this situation.
"How is this possible! How could you possibly withstand my ' Raging Waves '!" Raging Waves was a secret technique he created, a Universe Master!
Although it's just Universe Master master, it's undoubtedly much stronger than the opponent's Ultimate Secret Technique Universe Overlord. How could it possibly fail to harm the opponent?!
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" The Black Stone Master was truly enraged this time. To be attacked by a Top Overlord without taking any damage, he was simply a disgrace to the Universe Master!
He couldn't accept this outcome!
"Die! Die!" This time, the Black Stone Master burned his divine body, and his Black Iron slammed down on Lord Xiwu Mist again and again!
Each time the iron rod was swung up and smashed down, it was as if a dark, underworld-like world was crushing and overwhelming it, and at the same time, it was as if a terrifying flood was sweeping and erupting, threatening to World Destruction!
A single blow might seem a little weak, but as the blows came one after another, nine blows in a row, the nine directions of the Netherworld descended one after another, while at the same time, it was like waves surging and repeating, constantly building up its power!
The final, ninth strike, in fact, directly burned away a large portion of his divine body!
" The Universe Master is indeed the Universe Master. I never expected that in such a nearly isolated and desolate place, the Black Stone Master could create such an exquisite staff technique." With Luo Ao's current level of insight, he could vaguely see that the opponent had incorporated some characteristics of the Water Origin Law into this move.
One blow after another, just like waves accumulating power time and time again.
The combined power of the nine strikes was at least ten times greater than before!
"That move! As expected of the Universe Master. But it's a pity that the weapon in your hand is merely an Ordinary Supreme Treasure." If this attack were unleashed from High-grade Supreme Treasure or even Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon, its power would be unimaginable.
" Ring of Xiwu!" Faced with this second attack, the Lord Xiwu knew he couldn't directly counter with an attack, so he unleashed a defensive ultimate move.
All the clouds and misty silver world gathered around the body of the Lord Xiwu, forming a huge ring that directly blocked the attack!
"Whoosh!"
The Netherworld blurred instantly amidst the nine shadows of the staff, and at the same time, a terrifying phenomenon of surging waves appeared in the air. The nine attacks, seemingly slow, descended upon Lord Xiwu in an instant.
"Boom!"
The seemingly slow nine waves made Lord Xiwu feel as if he were facing an endless, Endless Sea.
"Boom boom boom!" Nine waves crashed wildly against the giant ring, but the giant ring was incredibly steadfast and managed to withstand the first three waves of impact.
But the next six towering waves hit her squarely!
"Hmph!" The terrifying impact, even after being weakened to one ten-thousandth by the Supreme Treasure Armor, still caused every Spirit Division in Lord Xiwu's body to tremble violently.
The immense impact even sent her flying quite a distance, but due to her large size, she quickly regained her balance.
The waves subsided, the giant ring shattered, and everything returned to calm.
"Impressive. As expected of an attack from the Universe Master. It even made me feel damage to my divine body, probably losing one ten-thousandth of it. However, this move probably consumed more energy for you than for me." Lord Xiwu looked at his opponent with a leisurely air.
The Black Stone Master's divine body was depleted by more than 5% after unleashing that 'Nine Consecutive Strikes' attack. He could only unleash such an attack about ten times in total; any more than that and he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"You!" Looking at Lord Xiwu, whose divine body was clearly not much weakened, Black Stone Master felt a chill in his heart.
If the other party hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't have even noticed any signs of damage to the other party's divine body!
"Give up the struggle! Black Stone Master, you pathetic fellow who just broke through and barely reached the First-tier Universe Master, even if you fight to the death, you can't possibly harm me in the slightest!"
Lord Xiwu admitted that the opponent's secret technique was indeed powerful, but so what? With a weapon that was merely at the level of Ordinary Supreme Treasure, the opponent's attack could not even reach the threshold that her high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor could withstand.
The attack's power was first weakened to one ten-thousandth of its original strength by the armor before reaching her physical body. However, her cloud-like form also possessed the ability to continuously weaken material attacks. After this double weakening, although it could still damage her divine body, the damage was almost negligible.
"You!" The Black Stone Master was now in a bit of a predicament, but he was very curious about the ' First-tier Universe Master ' that Lord Xiwu had just mentioned.
The Black Stone Master, who came from an ordinary race, was the first Universe Master the Dark Rock Clan. Although he had previously joined the Northern Border Alliance, he had not been able to obtain detailed information about Universe Master within it.
"Heh heh, today I'll make sure you die knowing why." Lord Xiwu was in an extremely pleasant mood at this moment.
To directly confront a Universe Master is something even her elder sister and the Strongest World Tree probably couldn't do, yet she accomplished this feat today.
"According to the information I have, the strength of the Universe Master is divided into six tiers. The weakest tier is like your current level, which is something you probably would never encounter in the outside world."
"After breaking through to the Universe Master, although there is no longer a limit to the improvement of the Life Gene Level, without any resources, one can only improve to a hundred times the Gene Level. A hundred times the divine power of the Universe Master is only equivalent to ten thousand times the divine power of the Universe Venerable."
"As for me, my Life Gene Level has reached 6000 times, which is 6000 times the divine power of Universe Venerable. In terms of basic strength, we are not that different. The only thing you have over me is that your realm is higher and the secret techniques you created are more powerful. But I have a divine body that is much larger than yours, and my divine power is many times greater than yours. At the same time, I have a high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor protecting me."
"You can't hurt me at all with that long staff!" Hearing the arrogant voice of the Lord Xiwu, the Black Stone Master turned ashen-faced.
"Damn it! If only I could get out of here!" The Black Stone Master's eyes were filled with rage.
If he were outside, as long as he didn't act alone, he could obtain some resources and treasures within any alliance or force, allowing him to raise his Life Gene Level to about a thousand times.
Moreover, any Universe Master, even one who has just become Universe Master and has not yet made any contribution to their own power, can first 'borrow' a High-grade Supreme Treasure.
In fact, even the weakest of the current Universe Master walk normally in the outside world possess at least one Top-tier Supreme Treasure treasure.
The treasures he possesses are even less than those Universe Master ordinary Universe Overlord. It is estimated that the Black Stone Master is the first in the history of Heaven Opening to have such a figure.
If he had even an Ordinary Supreme Treasure palace or a high-grade Supreme Treasure Armor, he could have escaped through the starry tides.
If he had even one weapon that met the minimum requirements for Universe Master, he wouldn't have been so passive when facing a Top Universe Overlord like Lord Xiwu.
"This Black Stone Master is so pitiful." Mirror Prism Luo Ao looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
Before his breakthrough, the Black Stone Master was not even as wealthy as the Blue Wing Venerable. His most famous treasure was his Supreme Treasure staff, and second only to that was a Top-tier True Treasure, the Flying Palace. As for his other treasures, none of them reached the level of Ordinary Supreme Treasure, and their number was not very large.
