"Sough-"

In a place where a cold, frigid wind was blowing, Luo Ao met his dark-hearted senior uncle again.

The Lord of Darkness was extremely skilled in Soul Attack. Whoever his gaze fell upon was as if a venomous snake in the night was flicking its tongue at the back of their neck, making them feel uneasy and extremely sinister.

" Asura, this is the first time we've met in real life, isn't it?" the bald man said leisurely, his voice like an eerie melody echoing through the space, involuntarily affecting everyone around him.

If the Illusionist Flow subtly infiltrates and draws others into an illusion, then the Lord of Darkness makes no attempt to conceal it. Everyone knows of his invisible influence, but escaping it is extremely difficult.

"As expected of a being renowned Universe Ocean, his mastery of the soul is truly astonishing." However, Luo Ao himself had a ' Original Soul ' guarding his soul, and coupled with his extraordinary will, he was naturally unaffected in the slightest.

"Uncle Darkness, thank you for making this special trip." Luo Ao looked at the Lord of Darkness with respect. The Lord of Darkness was indeed a being worthy of respect from all the strong Human Race, willing to operate in the shadows for the sake of his clan.

"Haha, not at all. Let's go, let me see who our opponent is this time." The Lord of Darkness shook his head, always appearing very confident in himself.

"The other party should be the Universe Master, but I don't know how many helpers they have." Of course, this is just Luo Ao's judgment; the possibility that the other party is deliberately disguising themselves cannot be ruled out, but the probability is relatively small.

"Well, to avoid alerting him, let's go find him aboard my warship." The Lord of Darkness said, casually tossing out an object—a black warship that looked dilapidated and decaying.

"Heh, my ' Ghost Ship ' may look dilapidated, but its stealth capabilities and flight speed are still quite good." Having spent years navigating the Universe Ocean, it's perfectly normal for the Lord of Darkness to have some tricks up his sleeve.

"Uncle-Master's consideration is indeed thorough. Then I'll show you the way." Luo Ao followed and entered the ' Ghost Ship '. He quickly discovered one of the ' Ghost Ship's' major characteristics: the seemingly dilapidated hull was actually made of an extremely special material that could directly isolate soul impacts, having an effect similar to the Nine Fiends Prison.

"Uncle-Master, the enemy is also approaching us, in that direction." Based on the summoning sensation from the Blood Moon Demon Armor, Luo Ao quickly determined their location.

"Alright." The Lord of Darkness nodded, maneuvering the Ghost Ship to quickly break free of its restraints and move in the direction he indicated.

On the other side, the Lord of Shisui was equally excited.

"They're coming pretty fast, seemingly heading this way at full speed." The purple-clad youth wearing a black mask was also approaching the enemy, riding a purple prism tower.

At this moment, he could also feel the ' Demon Yin Face Armor ' on his face trembling wildly, and the sense of summoning became increasingly intense.

"The fact that they've taken the initiative to approach will save us more time. With the four of us working together, we'll definitely Shisui you, Shi Sui, seize this treasure." Inside the purple prism tower, three figures and a humanoid puppet were sitting, and the puppet was speaking.

This humanoid puppet actually symbolizes the massive Lord of Weishan. His true form is hidden in the World Ring on the puppet's left hand, and he is also the strongest of the four in terms of overall strength.

As a born ' Weishan ' life form, the Lord of Weishan has a body that is five million kilometers tall. With just his enormous divine body, he can wear down countless opponents.

" Weishan is right. With the four of us joining forces, you taking the lead, and Cloud Sleeve influencing and binding the enemy, we can even fight against Fifth-Order Universe Master!" The smallest of the four, Lord of Danzhu, who resembled a red crane, also agreed.

Fifth-Order Universe Master is no match for any of them individually, but with the four of them working together, especially with the Lord of Weishan holding the line, they have a real fighting chance.

It can be said that both sides have extremely strong confidence in themselves.

Time flies, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

As they drew closer, the intense sense of attraction drove both of them into a state of extreme excitement.

"This is terrifying, absolutely terrifying!" The Lord of Shisui felt as if the Demon Yin Face Armor on his face was about to break free and fly away, trembling violently. This overwhelming sense of summoning made the Lord of Shisui's divine body tremble with excitement. "What level of treasure could possibly generate such a powerful sense of summoning!"

"Could it be that my Demon Yin Face Armor is an accessory to the Strongest Supreme Treasure!" The Lord of Shisui became even more excited at the thought.

I never imagined that being banished to that ' Nether River Abyss ' would lead to such a great opportunity!

Such Strongest Supreme Treasure! The Lord Lu Chong and the Master of Universe Light relied on such Strongest Supreme Treasure to establish their reputation in the Universe Ocean. Could it be that I, Shisui also have such a day?

Lord of Shisui's heart trembled, and the distance between them kept shrinking. But suddenly, the other party actually ran away in the opposite direction!

"Oh no, this guy probably realized what's happening too, he's running towards Black Wind Gorge!" Lord of Shisui immediately tensed up.

"Quick! Quick! Lord of Danzhu, you must help me! Chase after them as fast as you can!"

"We're very close now. His flight speed can't keep up with ours, so he can only rely on Black Wind Gorge to slow down our pursuit!"

"Understood, don't worry, he can't escape!" Lord of Danzhu didn't notice anything amiss at the moment, but Lord of Cloud Sleeve looked somewhat hesitant. However, looking at Lord of Shisui, who was extremely excited and seemed to be going crazy, she knew that she definitely couldn't persuade him.

"It's a rare opportunity to encounter such a heaven-defying chance, how could Shisui Sui possibly give it up?" The Lord of Cloud Sleeve understood Shisui's previous frustration and ambition, and guessed that even if he knew it was a trap, he would probably still walk right into it.

On the other side, Luo Ao looked at the Lord of Darkness.

"Uncle-Master's methods are indeed excellent. He has lured the enemy into pursuing us without lifting a finger." Feigning weakness and fleeing in the opposite direction was precisely the strategy proposed by the Lord of Darkness.

"Hehe, just a trivial little trick. Actually, this is a calculated move. Among the various forces in the Universe Ocean, apart from my Primal Universe and the Second Reincarnation Era, the powerful figures of the other forces are all rather insane." The Lord of Darkness shook his head with a smile.

" The First Reincarnation Era goes without saying. In order to break through the cycle of reincarnation, they were often incredibly crazy. The powerful figures of the Two Great Holy Lands also longed to achieve their own fame and write their own legends, and were willing to risk their lives for this."

Those who are truly rational and 'cherish their lives' are actually the strong individuals from the Primal Universe and some of the strong individuals from the Second Reincarnation Era.

"Outside, if the other side wants to escape, we might not be able to stop them. But once they enter the core area of Black Wind Gorge, it will be difficult for them to leave." Luo Ao also praised the Lord of Darkness for his superior experience. Although the plan Pingping unremarkable, it perfectly grasped the other side's intentions.

Black Wind Gorge is similar to the Ice Wind Belt and Instant Thunder Belt. Teleportation is impossible within its coverage area. Once two powerful forces clash here, casualties often occur, naturally increasing his chances of obtaining Blood Moon Demon Armor parts.

Of course, this is all on the premise that they can win; if they lose, then they themselves will suffer the consequences.

However, both Luo Ao and the Lord of Darkness were very confident in themselves.

Luo Ao possesses the ' Nine Fiends Prison,' making him fearless of suppression and sealing, thus naturally placing him in an invincible position. The Lord of Darkness, on the other hand, has been able to roam the Universe Ocean alone for so many years, naturally possessing a trump card to protect himself.

Black Wind Gorge is shrouded in darkness, and a strange black wind exists that can damage one's soul. Although Supreme Treasure occasionally appear here, the environment is extremely harsh, and no force has sent anyone to guard this place.

"Buzz--"

The black Ghost Ship was in front, followed by the purple prism tower, but the purple prism tower was significantly faster and seemed poised to catch up soon.

"Hahaha, you're really choosing the path to heaven! Once you enter Black Wind Gorge, your speed will be affected. Let's see where you can escape to!" The Lord of Shisui became increasingly agitated, filled with an unwavering determination!

"Hmm, it looks like they'll catch up soon. Let's stop here." The Lord of Darkness maneuvered the Ghost Ship to a stop on a rock, awaiting their arrival.

This is already the core area of Black Wind Gorge. Once here, even if the other party realizes what's happening and tries to escape, it will be too late.

"Hmm? They've stopped. Let's see who comes out on top today!" The Lord of Shisui was the first to rush out, while the other three hid in the World Ring, ready to strike at any moment!

"Hmm? That's... the Lord of Flaming Night in the Primal Universe?" Lord of Shisui immediately showed joy. It turned out to be just a lone Universe Master from the Primal Universe. It seemed that this trip was sure to be a success!

" Lord of Flaming Night!" The purple-clad youth wearing a black mask flew directly and swiftly towards the opponent!

"So it was you, Lord of Shisui." At this moment, Luo Ao's voice suddenly rang out in Black Wind Gorge.

The moment they saw each other, they were overjoyed and rushed towards each other!

"Die, Lord of Flaming Night!" The purple-clad youth's weapon was a special ring-bladed weapon called the Shisui Blade. The moment he grasped the ring blade, he unleashed his strongest technique!

" Journey of Shisui!"

The Lord of Shisui, his face covered by a black mask, stood beneath the night sky, a set of streamlined purple armor emerging from his body, exuding a chilling aura.

The moon-white ring blade instantly turned crimson, releasing a silver wave carrying the characteristics of the Time Law, which surged forward relentlessly towards its opponent!

"Well done!" A cold glint flashed in Luo Ao's icy eyes as he unleashed his Strongest Secret Technique — Cloud Breaker!

"Whoosh!"

With a thrust of the spear, wreathed in endless flames and boundless crimson light like the sun, it surged forth towards the Lord of Shisui.

"Boom!" Amidst the silver waves, the endless flames surged upstream, heading straight for the enemy. In the center of the flames, a shadowy figure could be seen— Luo Ao's resolute and unyielding form.

Although the silver wave was extremely powerful, bringing the power of the Time Law to a new level, it could only retreat in the face of Luo Ao's attack.

It was clear that the Lord of Shisui was completely at a disadvantage in their first encounter.

"Damn it! How could the Lord of Flaming Night be so strong!" The Lord of Shisui's expression changed, and he immediately Soul Transmission to his teammates.

" Cloud Sleeve, Weishan, Danzhu!"

As he summoned, a World Ring on his body instantly shattered, and at the same time, three more figures reappeared in the dark space within Black Wind Gorge.

One of them was a mysterious woman dressed in a white dress with long white silk sleeves.

One of them is a monster that resembles a crane. Its entire body is covered in crimson feathers, especially the crest on its head, which is completely bright red.

The last one is a blue stone giant, no smaller than Puti, resembling a pillar supporting the sky!

"Three Universe Master, you've really called up quite a few helpers!" Luo Ao was somewhat surprised to see the other party summon three major helpers in an instant.

" Lord of Flaming Night, today is your death day!"

"Coming to Black Wind Gorge on your own initiative is practically suicide!"

Neither the Lord of Danzhu nor the Lord of Weishan took this Lord of Flaming Night seriously.

According to their intelligence, this Lord of Flaming Night was just a lone Universe Master from the Primal Universe era, with average strength and always keeping to himself with few friends.

They were naturally very confident in dealing with such a guy!

"Looks like you've got me cornered today?" Luo Ao looked at the four of them with interest, a smile appearing on his face.

All four of them were merely top-tier Universe Master (fourth tier), how could he not laugh?

"Hmph! You're about to die, and you still want to talk back? Die!" Lord of Danzhu launched a direct attack on his opponent.

He manipulated a red Spirit Energy weapon, Supreme Treasure like a long shuttle, which instantly pierced the sky, causing the omnipresent black wind to freeze. The shuttle was imbued with terrifying power, and it pierced through the clouds and sky!
