" Luo Ao, do you know how these Universe Supreme Master died?" Seeing Luo Ao looking at the dilapidated Miniature Universe, the Lord of Ice Peak rarely asked him such a question.

"I do know something about this disciple. A very small number of them died in the perilous places of the Universe Ocean or in battles with each other, but most of them died because of... reincarnation!" At this point, Luo Ao's tone suddenly paused.

Hearing Luo Ao's words, the Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly. "In the Universe Ocean, the Universe Supreme Master are even more powerful, and their ability to protect themselves is stronger than that of the Universe Master. Even in the many dangerous areas of the Three Great Forbidden Lands, they rarely perish. Their greatest threat is... Reincarnation!"

"Reincarnation!" A glint of light flashed in Luo Ao's eyes.

The Lord of Ice Peak gazed at the crumbling Miniature Universe and murmured, "Reincarnation—this is something that terrifies countless powerful beings, and also a place that inspires their longing!"

"It represents both eternity and death!"

" The Primal Universe gave birth to billions of races and countless powerful beings. As time passed, after reaching its most prosperous peak, the Primal Universe would rapidly decline and even Great Destruction! Then a new cycle of birth and creation would begin... This is a cycle!"

"In each cycle, the Primal Universe gives birth to billions of races, numerous geniuses, some of the Universe Supreme Master, and a large number of Universe Master."

"Each cycle has a group of the Universe Supreme Master, and each Universe Supreme Master corresponds to a Miniature Universe."

"These Miniature Universe drift in the Universe Ocean, many of them far beyond the Universe Ocean of our exploration. Yet, we have discovered 18,023 Miniature Universe!" the Lord of Ice Peak continued. "From these Miniature Universe, we can know how many Universe Supreme Master have been born. However, over 99% of these Miniature Universe are like these before us—all ruined."

"Correspondingly... this also means that all the Universe Supreme Master have perished."

Listening to the Lord of Ice Peak's words, Luo Ao couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't just them who had discovered that tens of thousands of the Universe Supreme Master had perished.

In countless cycles of reincarnation in the Primal Universe, the Universe Supreme Master is definitely more than ten thousand. The endless expanse of time has long since completely annihilated countless dilapidated Miniature Universe. Even those Holy Land Universe that have passed through the Reincarnation Passage and stood eternally in the Universe Ocean have Profound Mysteries of Devouring countless World Beast...

But all of this was eventually buried in the river of time. The East Emperor Holy Land Universe and the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe that have appeared in the Universe Ocean are just the two youngest Holy Land Universe.

The Two Holy Land Universes represent only a very short segment in the long river of time!

"In the Universe Ocean, we can call this Reincarnation Era, which is still in the Primal Universe, the Third Reincarnation Era," the Lord of Ice Peak continued. "The reincarnation before us can be considered the Second Universe Reincarnation Era, and the one before that the First Universe Reincarnation Era."

"Our Third Universe Era is still in its middle stage, while the previous two Reincarnation Era have already completed their full Reincarnation Era, naturally producing far more powerful beings than we have. Our Third Era is the weakest, while the First Era was the strongest!"

"And when this cycle ends, the Primal Universe Great Destruction, and the current First Reincarnation Era will be completely wiped out, and we will become the Second Reincarnation."

In the early stages of the universe's development, the rate at which powerful beings were born was very slow because secret techniques and other methods needed to be created and perfected. As time went on, the efficiency of cultivating powerful beings would continuously increase. The first two cycles were complete and took place in the Universe Ocean, so the number of powerful beings was naturally different.

" The Universe Ocean is incredibly mysterious, but based on the information we have, any powerful being from any Reincarnation Era can only live for a maximum of three Reincarnation Era," said the Lord of Ice Peak. "However, there are exceptions."

"It's the Holy Land Universe." Luo Ao looked in the distance.

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded. "That's right. Besides the three great cosmic eras, there are two other forces in the Universe Ocean, each belonging to a Miniature Universe, also known as the two ' Holy Land Universe '!"

"Those two Miniature Universe are also extremely large."

"A large number of Miniature Universe, including tens of thousands of destroyed ones... are all at most 100 million light-years in diameter. However, the Two Holy Land Universes, one with a diameter of 2.1 billion light-years and the other with a diameter of 3.2 billion light-years, are the two largest Miniature Universe. The Reincarnation Era they existed is no longer verifiable."

"However, according to our Human Race's speculation, it was created by the Universe Supreme Master ten or even one hundred cosmic cycles before our time."

Countless cycles of reincarnation have vanished, leaving only these two Miniature Universe. The two beings remaining in these sacred Miniature Universe possess strength far beyond what the powerful figures of the Three Great Reincarnation Eras could imagine.

With a flick of his hand, the Lord of Ice Peak took out a transparent crystal sphere that shimmered with golden light and handed it to Luo Ao.

"These are records of powerful figures from the Primal Universe, the Second Universe Era before the Great Destruction, the First Universe Era, and the Two Great Holy Lands," the Lord of Ice Peak solemnly stated. "These are extremely high-level messages, some of which involve major secrets. After reading them, destroy them and do not allow them to circulate."

He only brought it out now so that Luo Ao could see this shattered universe, better understand its meaning, and thus pay more attention to these messages and be wary of the enemies of various forces.

Luo Ao pursed his lips and accepted the transparent crystal ball.

He knew all of what the Lord of Ice Peak had just said, and even knew more details, including some secrets that no one else knew.

However, even the weakest Primal Universe in the Three Great Reincarnation Eras has more than a dozen Universe Supreme Master and nearly a thousand Universe Master. The information about the strong beings in other Reincarnation Era, including the Holy Land Universe, is naturally extremely complex, something he couldn't access before.

A wisp of divine power seeped in, and instantly countless pieces of information began to flood into his mind.

The detailed information on the East Emperor Holy Land, the Purple Moon Holy Land, the Divine Eye Clan, the Skeleton Race... greatly broadened Luo Ao's horizons.

"How are you feeling the pressure?" The Lord of Ice Peak looked at his disciple with expectant eyes.

"There's pressure, but also motivation." Luo Ao nodded first, then shook his head.

The Universe Ocean is indeed dangerous, but it's not a pushover either.

Upon hearing this Lord of Ice Peak immediately looked at Luo Ao: "Your strength is already at the level of Fourth-Order Universe Master, even compared to your master..." The Lord of Ice Peak paused here, then continued, "However, this is your first time stepping into the Universe Ocean, so it's best to be cautious first, familiarize yourself with the environment here, and then truly venture out on adventures."

"There are many dangerous places in the Universe Ocean. Our Human Race knows of more than 3,000 of them, and the Two Great Holy Lands know of even more, but they won't tell us," the Lord of Ice Peak continued. "Take the ' Zhensha River,' a dangerous place marked on the map, for example. It's a fairly ordinary place, but even I have to explore it with extreme caution. If I dare to be arrogant and recklessly Teleportation, I'm afraid I'll be in danger of perishing."

Therefore, we must not be careless!

"Yes, teacher." Luo Ao nodded earnestly.

The Lord of Ice Peak looked at his most outstanding disciple, and also looked forward to his future, as well as the future of the entire Human Race.

He turned back to look in the direction of the Primal Universe, and thought of his 'teacher', the most amazing figure in the early days of the Primal Universe.

"Back then, my teacher traversed the vast Universe Ocean, ultimately confronting the Primal Universe. His purpose... was to create another Holy Land Universe within this Universe Ocean, allowing our Human Race to exist eternally, just like those Two Great Holy Lands." The Lord of Ice Peak deeply revered the Original Ancestor; his teacher, Primordial, was the guiding light of humanity's origin!

Unfortunately, the teacher failed in that gamble and was permanently suppressed by the Primal Universe.

From then on, the hopes of the Human Race rested on the shoulders of Giant Axe, Chaos, Darkness, and Peng Gong, while he himself was still far from reaching that point, until recently...

Fortunately, another incredible genius has emerged among the Human Race!

" Luo Ao, in you I see the hope for the future of Human Race, the hope of rescuing our teacher..." The Lord of Ice Peak didn't utter a single word, but Luo Ao had already keenly sensed the thoughts that his teacher, Ice Peak, had just been pondering.

After all, Teacher Ice Peak is usually very reserved, but he suddenly talked to me so much when we came to the Universe Ocean today, so there must be a reason.

"The teacher said more today than in tens of thousands of previous eras combined." What seemed like simple introductory remarks actually contained his boundless expectations, but Teacher Ice Peak himself was not good at expressing them.

"I will definitely succeed in breaking through the cycle of reincarnation!" Luo Ao whispered to himself. Not to mention that he knew Luo Feng would rise to prominence in the future, he was certain that he himself would achieve that goal!

"Let's go." The Lord of Ice Peak turned around. "The strongest Human Race in the Universe Ocean are mainly located in the Tilted Peak Realm. That's our temporary gathering place. Let's head there now."

Relying on high-frequency, uninterrupted Teleportation, and occasionally on Natural Wormhole, the Lord of Ice Peak, along with Luo Ao, is getting closer and closer to " Tilted Peak Realm," one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands.

During their journey, the Lord of Ice Peak continued to inform him of some precautions to take in the Universe Ocean.

The Universe Ocean is filled with endless Chaos air currents, creating immense resistance. Ordinary weaklings would be instantly annihilated in these Chaos air currents, so flight usually requires constant energy maintenance... Of course, this is nothing to the Universe Master or even the Universe Supreme Master.

But--

In the Original Universe, the speed of light is the limit. Once the speed of light is exceeded, one will be attracted into the Dark Universe. There is no Dark Universe in the Universe Ocean, so the speed limit is even higher, reaching a hundred times the speed of light.

The Universe Supreme Master, who can make their Words Followed by Law "come true," can unleash speeds of 100,000 to 1 million times the speed of light!

The Universe Supreme Master were severely suppressed in the Primal Universe.

In the Universe Ocean, it's different.

The Universe Ocean is scattered with numerous Miniature Universe and a " Primal Universe." The Primal Universe is so vast that its Origin Will of the Original Universe remains the strongest! Even the Laws governing the vast Universe Ocean are influenced by it.

However, since other areas of the Universe Ocean are outside of it, the power exerted by the Universe Origin is much weaker, and the limitations are correspondingly much weaker.

Only two restrictions.

First, when the Universe Supreme Master battles the Universe Master, the Laws governing the Universe Supreme Master from making their Words Followed by Law!

Secondly, his divine power is suppressed to the level of " Perfect Gene Universe Master ".

As for how much power one can unleash by relying on Supreme Treasure and secret techniques, that depends entirely on the abilities of the Universe Supreme Master; there is no upper limit!

Furthermore, there will be no further punishment after killing the Universe Master.

In the blink of an eye, it has been the eighth day in the Universe Ocean.

The Lord of Ice Peak, along with Luo Ao, finally stopped after another Teleportation, standing side by side in the void, looking towards...

Looking into the distance.

"That is ' The Tilted Peak Realm '," the Lord of Ice Peak said softly. "Overturned Peaks... it's taken from the meaning of 'the peaks of a mountain that have collapsed'."

In the distance, there was a majestic mountain, but its peak had fallen to the mountainside, as if some being with boundless power had sliced the mountain in half with a single stroke, causing the peak to fall directly to the mountainside.

Whoosh--

On the smooth main mountain, an endless, enormous waterfall cascades down, crashing onto the mountainside below. The water floods the surrounding area, submerging a significant portion of the cascading summit, while countless fragments of rock fly around the mountain peak.

"It's truly magnificent." A hint of amazement flashed across Luo Ao's eyes.

This Tilted Peak Realm is truly stunning.

According to the obtained map of the Universe Ocean, the main mountain of the Tilted Peak Realm is about 98.2 million light-years high, and the maximum diameter of the truncated peak is 12.26 million light-years. Even the countless tiny fragments that appear insignificant from a distance are estimated to be measured in "light-years".

Outside the mountain lies the Outer Domain, a relatively low-risk area, yet some dangerous spots can still cause even weaker Universe Master to perish.

Inside the mountain lies the Inner Domain, an area of extreme danger where even the strongest Universe Master could perish. At the mountain's core, even the Universe Supreme Master could fall!

"In many dangerous places in the Universe Ocean, powerful forces such as the Two Great Holy Lands, the Divine Eye Clan, and the Skeleton Race have dispatched strong individuals to garrison them long-term, ready to seize any Supreme Treasure that appears," said the Lord of Ice Peak. "However, our Human Race is weak and cannot do so."

"Normally, we follow where Giant Axe is roaming. Most of our powerful Hongmeng Alliance in the Universe Ocean gather there, so we can help each other if anything happens."

"Hmm." Luo Ao nodded in understanding.

The reason why the Lord of Darkness needed to conceal his identity, and why Master Sitting Mountain Guest specially prepared the ' Radiant Night Pearl ' for him later, was precisely for this reason.

Human Race was Four Peak Races in the Primal Universe. However, in the Universe Ocean, they are indeed at a disadvantage, and all the powerful Human Race, including the Giant Axe, are very cautious. On the contrary, the Lord of Darkness, who conceals his identity, can act more boldly.

"Luckily, I have the ' Radiant Night Pearl,' otherwise my actions would inevitably be somewhat hampered." Sometimes, the deterrent power of a clan is stronger, but sometimes, it is the lone traveler who is more free.
