"Clang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The Lord of Ice Peak unleashed terrifyingly cold attacks with his Bing Lan Sword time and again, but the Yan Emperor managed to parry them with his Yan God Halberd.

Although many of the Lord of Ice Peak's attacks bypassed the Yan God Halberd and landed directly on him, the Tribulation Armor protected him, so the accumulated injuries on his body were negligible.

" Ice Peak, if you keep fighting me like this, you're just wasting your time. I want to get other molds, so I'm not going to play anymore!" Although he had already obtained a set of Peak Supreme Treasure molds, Yan Emperor was clearly still eager to get a second set.

He's been wasting both of his time here with the Lord of Ice Peak for the past two days. While they're locked in a fierce battle, the molds from other dimensions might have already been obtained by powerful figures from other forces.

" Yan Emperor, don't even think about running away!" The Lord of Ice Peak continued to chase after Yan Emperor, showing no intention of letting him go.

" Ice Peak, you madman!" Yan Emperor was furious. Ice Peak was clearly no match for him, yet it stubbornly entangled him. With the Lord of Ice Peak interfering, how could he possibly escape so easily?

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a new uninvited guest suddenly appeared in this space-time.

"Oh? So it's you two." The beautiful and captivating Lord Minglian suddenly appeared near this planet, her thin wings trembling slightly as she looked at the two of them with her beautiful eyes.

" Lord Minglian?" The Lord of Ice Peak noticed the newcomer immediately.

"It's the Lord Minglian of the Zerg." Yan Emperor tensed up instantly.

Although the Human Race and the other Three Great Peak Races have always been at odds, they might join forces against him when it comes to competing for treasures.

"With your strength, Lord of Ice Peak, and the Peak Supreme Treasure, the Ice Mountain Palace, Yan Emperor has no way to stop you. It seems that the mold here has fallen into your hands, Yan Emperor." The Lord Minglian's sweet voice fell, instantly causing Yan Emperor's face to darken.

" Lord Minglian, lend me a hand! Use your Minglian Domain to restrain this Yan Emperor!" The Lord of Ice Peak suddenly spoke up as well, "Our Human Race can do without the mold on his body."

To deal with the Yan Emperor, the Lord of Ice Peak was even willing to abandon the mold, which shows how deep his hatred was for traitors like the Lord of Ice Peak Yan Emperor.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the Lord Minglian's beautiful eyes began to flicker, as if she was considering whether to agree to the request.

She possesses the Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure, the Minglian Domain. If she were to join forces with the Lord of Ice Peak and unleash their full power, Yan Emperor could very well be wiped out.

"Damn it! This damned Ice Peak!" Yan Emperor was furious when he saw the beautiful and charming Lord Minglian looking tempted.

" Lord Minglian, I'll give you that mold directly! But you need to take me with you when you leave here." The Yan Emperor's ability to protect himself is indeed very strong, but his ability to escape is quite average. He has neither a powerful Domain-type Supreme Treasure to interfere with his opponents, nor a powerful Supreme Treasure like a flying palace or Winged Supreme Treasure that can be used to escape.

When he encountered the Lord of Ice Peak, it was like encountering a piece of chewing gum—he couldn't shake it off no matter how hard he tried.

"Alright! Remember what you said!" The Lord Minglian's hesitation just now was clearly a deliberate act for Yan Emperor Yan Emperor, waiting for him to speak first.

As for whether to help the Lord of Ice Peak or the Yan Emperor?

Given that both could obtain the mold, she naturally preferred to help Yan Emperor, since the Human Race was one of the Zerg's greatest enemies, and the Nine Domains Alliance posed no threat to their Zerg.

" Minglian Domain, emerge!" The Lord Minglian directly unleashed his Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure. In an instant, a dark, flood-like torrent of black water invaded the endless starry sky. Under the Lord Minglian's active control, the endless black water actively tried to obstruct the Lord of Ice Peak, while the Yan Emperor was not affected at all.

" Minglian!" The Lord of Ice Peak frowned, and swung his Bing Lan Sword fiercely towards the Lord Minglian. The icy sword light surged endlessly, stretching for a distance of about 30 million miles. Wherever the icy sword energy passed, the endless black water was Ice Seal.

However, in the next instant, the boundless power of the Minglian Domain returned to normal, and the endless black water flowed once again across the vast starry sky.

" Yan Emperor! Why aren't you handing over the item?" Taking advantage of this moment, Yan Emperor had gradually distanced himself from the Lord of Ice Peak, and at the same time, he also heard the voice of the Lord Minglian.

"Here you go!" Yan Emperor reluctantly handed over the item. He hadn't intended to give a fake. Firstly, it would be easy for the other party to verify its authenticity, and secondly, if he really angered them, he might actually be suppressed today.

Although the Lord Minglian is not as strong as the Lord of Ice Peak, he has the ' Minglian Domain ' by his side, which makes him extremely effective whether fighting alone or in cooperation with other powerful individuals. If he were trapped in the Minglian Domain, he would definitely be suppressed by the Lord of Ice Peak.

"This Lord Minglian is truly lucky, to have been bestowed such a powerful treasure by the Zerg Queen!" Yan Emperor secretly envied the other's luck. In his opinion, this Minglian Domain was far more powerful than the three Peak Supreme Treasure he possessed. If he had such a Supreme Treasure, he would no longer need to worry about encountering the Lord of Ice Peak.

"The control over this Minglian Domain is indeed formidable." Even as the Lord of Ice Peak wielded his longsword to cleave through the waves, he was still entangled by the black water currents. Helpless, he could only choose to use the Ice Mountain Palace to pursue the two, but the Ice Mountain Palace mainly served a sealing function. Although it could also be used as a flying palace, it was difficult to break free from the constraints of the Minglian Domain.

" Ice Peak, we'll be going now." The Lord Minglian was naturally overjoyed to have obtained the mold so easily.

" Ice Peak, next time we meet, I will definitely give you a surprise!" As the Lord of Ice Peak, who was riding the Ice Mountain Palace and trying to get closer, Yan Emperor did not forget to leave behind a harsh threat.

"This Yan Emperor is truly lucky." The Lord of Ice Peak frowned as he watched the two figures fly further and further away.

It's a pity that such a good opportunity was wasted, as they failed to eliminate the threat of Yan Emperor.

"Whoosh--"

The Minglian Domain completely covered the area where the Lord of Ice Peak was located, so even when he was riding the Ice Mountain Palace, he couldn't speed up at all.

"Hahaha! Ice Peak, save your breath, you can't catch up." Seeing that the Lord of Ice Peak was still chasing behind, Yan Emperor couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

"This Yan Emperor..." The Lord Minglian couldn't help but shake her head inwardly as she looked at the Yan Emperor's smug expression. If it weren't for the fact that the Yan Emperor was completely hostile to humans, she wouldn't have bothered to help Yan Emperor at all.

"Whoosh--"

The boundless power of the Minglian Domain, when fully unleashed, is enough to cover tens of light-years. Even though it is not covering at full power at this moment, it still encompasses a vast area of the starry sky.

"Hmm? Who's coming up ahead again?" Soon, the Lord Minglian noticed that a powerful figure had also reached the boundary of the Minglian Domain in front of them.

"What a powerful flying palace! It's so fast even in the Minglian Domain." Soon, Yan Emperor and the Lord Minglian discovered this magnificent palace that resembled a golden dragon.

"Roar!"

The majestic palace seemed to transform into a living dragon, repeatedly defying the resistance of the Minglian Domain and approaching them.

" Long Xing Divine Palace?"

Upon seeing this iconic flying palace, both the Lord Minglian and the Yan Emperor were immediately taken aback.

The Long Xing Divine Palace Peak Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure, and its owner is none other than the Lord of Long Xing of the Human Virtual Universe Company!

"Haha, you two, where do you want to go!" The Lord of Long Xing's domineering and heroic voice echoed across the starry sky, and also happened to reach the ears of the Lord of Ice Peak.

"Great! Long Xing has arrived too!" The Lord of Ice Peak immediately called out to the Lord of Long Xing.

There's no way around it; once you're far apart in here, you really have to shout to communicate.

" Long Xing, stop them both! I'm right behind you." Upon hearing the Lord of Ice Peak's voice, the Lord of Long Xing immediately perked up.

The Lord of Long Xing was wearing only a seemingly ordinary, loose battle robe. He appeared to be an extremely burly giant with a dragon tail, and at this moment he was looking down at Yan Emperor and Minglian.

The Lord of Long Xing's strength is similar to that of the Lord of Ice Peak, but each has their own strengths. In terms of direct combat power, he may be slightly inferior to the Lord of Ice Peak, but the Lord of Long Xing's escape methods and speed are unparalleled among the Human Race's Universe Master. He even dares to venture into the more dangerous Universe Ocean.

"This is troublesome. With the Lord of Long Xing's abilities, even with the interference of the Minglian Domain, he will likely still be able to get close to us." Both interfering with the Lord of Ice Peak behind them and preventing the Lord of Long Xing from getting closer will undoubtedly require the Lord Minglian to expend even more effort.

"It's alright, Lord Minglian, you focus all your efforts on controlling the Minglian Domain. I'll handle Lord of the Lord of Long Xing." Yan Emperor also didn't want Lord of Long Xing and Lord of Ice Peak to reunite, so he took the initiative to take on the task of dealing with Lord of Long Xing.

Although the Lord of Long Xing is faster and more agile, his attack power is actually weaker. With the Tribulation Armor protecting him, he can withstand the opponent head-on.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you." In terms of direct combat ability, the Lord Minglian is actually inferior to the Yan Emperor; she is more proficient in Soul Attack and controlling the Zerg Legion to fight positional battles.

" Yan Emperor, Minglian!"

Soon, the Lord of Long Xing drew ever closer to the two.

As expected of the Long Xing Divine Palace, a powerful Supreme Treasure that allowed the Lord of Long Xing to roam freely across the Universe Ocean, it actually withstood the control and interference of the Minglian Domain and quickly approached.

" Long Xing, you think you can stop us from going!" The already grumpy Yan Emperor naturally didn't give Dragon Journey, the Lord of Long Xing, a roadblock, a friendly look.

"Hmph, Yan Emperor!" Although the Lord of Long Xing was not as righteous as the Lord of Ice Peak, he also disliked this Yan Emperor very much. If it weren't for the Sitting Mountain Guest stopping him, he would have wiped out this scum of Human Race long ago!

" Flame Heaven—Break!" Seeing the Lord of Long Xing closing in, the Yan Emperor immediately took the initiative to attack, preventing the opponent from interfering with the Lord Minglian.

" The Long Xing My Heart!"

The Lord of Long Xing's body was as heavy as a mountain, and his aura was equally domineering. He also extended his dragon claws to meet the Yan Emperor's attack head-on.

"Boom!"

When the Lord of Long Xing unleashed his claw, it was as if an ancient god was Heaven Opening. The dragon claw tore through layers of space, descending with a terrifying power that seemed capable of Swallow Heaven and the earth!

"Bang!"

Unsurprisingly, Yan Emperor was once again easily crushed.

"Damn it! You all..." Although they were repelled, they had to admit that Yan Emperor's attacks could not be ignored. Moreover, with the Lord Minglian controlling the Minglian Domain to assist them, although they were at a disadvantage, they were still able to barely hold off the Lord of Long Xing.

"Ignore him, deal with the Lord Minglian first!" Upon seeing this, the Lord of Ice Peak immediately told the Lord of Long Xing to stop fighting the Yan Emperor. The Yan Emperor's protective armor was extremely powerful, making it difficult for either him or Long Xing to injure him quickly.

In comparison, the Lord Minglian's close combat strength is far inferior, and the Lord Minglian could not possibly possess such a heaven-defying armor Supreme Treasure.

Once the troublesome interference of the Lord Minglian Domain is removed, Yan Emperor will ultimately find it difficult to escape.

"Understood!" The Lord of Long Xing's speed and movement were extremely fast. The sophistication of his claw techniques and movement far surpassed that of ordinary Universe Master. Just as he was about to bypass the Yan Emperor to attack the Lord Minglian, the two of them panicked.

" Minglian—Lock!"

Fortunately, the Minglian Domain of the Lord Minglian also has special effects.

In the endless black river of the starry sky, thin yet incredibly strong black chains, resembling plant roots, suddenly appeared. These black chains formed a hollow cage, Blockade Yan Emperor and Lord of Long Xing inside.

After resorting to this trump card, she finally managed to temporarily trap the Lord of Long Xing.

"These Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure are troublesome." The Lord of Long Xing couldn't help but feel a headache upon seeing these black chains.

Each Peak Domain Supreme Treasure possesses unique abilities.

The Blade Core Realm he encountered in the Universe Ocean was mainly for supporting offense, with limited ability to trap people. However, the Lord Minglian's Minglian Domain, while not particularly lethal, is quite formidable in trapping people, making it very difficult to deal with.

"Once we enter the Starry Sky Tide Zone, they won't be able to keep up like this." The Lord Minglian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Lord of Long Xing couldn't break through the restrictions for the time being.

If they continue flying for a while longer, they should all approach the next stellar tide. Everything in the stellar tide Space-Time Chaos, making it much more difficult to find them again.

"Hmm? Why is someone else here?" Because of the special environment here, it is difficult to use other detection methods, so the Lord Minglian Domain, was the first to discover the newcomer.

"A palace ablaze? But the color is wrong; it shouldn't be the Sky Wolf Palace of the Lord of Sky Wolf." Being quite far away, she could only discern the visitor's identity through the flames exposed on the palace's surface.

However, she had never seen a flying Palace Supreme Treasure like the one before, which was radiating intense red flames.

"This flying palace seems to be of a high grade; its speed hasn't decreased much even within my Minglian Domain." According to the Lord Minglian's guess, it is at least a top-tier flying Palace Supreme Treasure.

" Lord Minglian, Yan Emperor... and Lord of Long Xing!" Because Lord of Ice Peak was still at the very back, Flame God Luo Ao hadn't seen him yet.

However, once he makes a move, he alone, in conjunction with the Lord of Long Xing, would be enough to deal with those two.
