Reactions from All Sides

"That's... the North Prison?!" the Lord of Eternal Darkness exclaimed in surprise.

"North Prison! It's the North Prison Lord!!" The soul fire in the skull sockets of the Lord of Bone Ashes flickered violently, "That damned enemy of the universe!"

The Rift Crystal Master's voice was filled with a chilling killing intent. "The North Prison Lord! He actually dares to show himself! The blood feud of the Crystal Race will be avenged today!"

The three Universe Master stared intently at the rapidly receding gray-black palace.

The appearance of the North Prison Lord instantly ignited their killing intent!

This name represents endless blood debts among all the forces in the Primal Universe!

He indiscriminately slaughtered and plundered powerful beings from all races, and even the Universe Master fell at his hands, offending more than 99% of the major powers in the universe.

Its bounty was so high, and its notoriety so great, that it far surpassed others.

Only the Blood Cloud Palace Master can compare to him.

Capturing or killing the North Prison Lord is not only avenging one's clan, but also brings unimaginable prestige and clan contribution, and may even bring rewards from higher levels.

In contrast, a direct confrontation with the newly Universe Master, the Jixing Palace Master, whose strength is unfathomable and who controls a powerful domain, would not only be a slim chance of victory but would also come at a heavy price, potentially even leading to his demise.

Moreover, the North Prison Lord is incredibly cunning. If we miss this opportunity, it will be virtually impossible to track him down again.

Without hesitation, the Lord of Eternal Darkness swung his deep, night-like cloak, forcefully retracting the "Eternal Darkness Star Curtain" suppressed by the Platinum Domain. He addressed the core of the domain, the direction of the Qie Qiong, saying, "Jixing Palace Master! The North Prison Lord is an enemy of the universe, and everyone has the right to kill him! This matter ends here! Farewell!" Before his words had even finished, he had already transformed into a deep shadow, tearing through the edges of the Platinum Domain and chasing after the direction where the North Prison Lord had disappeared.

"Heh heh! Qie Qiong, you're lucky! The Prison Race is determined to have the head of the North Prison Lord!" The Lord of Bone Ashes also withdrew his ghastly green flames, his skeletal body, carrying the remaining power of the demonic realm, also transformed into a ghastly green meteor, relentlessly pursuing the enemy.

The North Prison Lord harbors deep grudges against the Prison Race, and he would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Rift Crystal Master didn't say much, but glanced at Qie Qiong. Countless crystal edges on its body instantly combined to form a sharp, spindle-shaped structure, bursting out with dazzling crystal light. It forcefully penetrated the barrier of the platinum domain and joined the pursuit.

A powerful Crystal Race also perished at the hands of the North Prison Lord; this grudge must be avenged.

Of course, the three of them weren't going to attack the North Prison Lord right now; they were just keeping an eye on him, since they didn't have the strength to do so.

The Third-Order Universe Master, who had come with great momentum and intended to seize the Supreme Treasure, retreated like a tide in a short moment because of the exposure and escape of the North Prison Lord. They unanimously abandoned their battle with the Jixing Palace Master.

The pressure on the entire basin shrouded in the "Annihilation Kingdom" suddenly eased. The light, interwoven with platinum and holiness, continued to flow, and the scattered Universe Venerables who were watching from afar were dumbfounded, completely unprepared for the situation to take such a dramatic turn for the worse.

Qie Qiong stood at the core of the domain, holding the Time-Extinguishing Pearl that shimmered with light in his palm. His silver-gold eyes gazed in the direction where the three Universe Masters had disappeared, his gaze profound.

"North Prison Lord - Yan Emperor -" Qie Qiong murmured to himself, a barely perceptible cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He knew perfectly well who was behind this identity—a traitor to the Human Race! A disciple of the Sitting Mountain Guest!

His charlatan identity as the "North Prison Lord" and his heinous acts truly make him an enemy of the universe.

He did not stop the three from leaving.

On the one hand, the North Prison Lord is indeed a greater threat and a higher priority target. If we can use the hands of these three Universe Masters to severely damage or even eliminate him, it will be beneficial to the Human Race.

On the other hand, his true level was ultimately only that of Universe Venerable.

He had just fully activated the "Chaos Annihilation Kingdom" to fight against the four Universe Masters. He looked relaxed, but his divine power was greatly depleted.

If we forcibly keep these three people, pushing them to their limits, we might be able to win with the help of top- Domain Supreme Treasures, but we would inevitably pay a much higher price.

Moreover, it's uncertain how many will survive. After all, these three Universe Masters are all at the third level. In this Primal Universe, even one of them would be difficult to kill alone, let alone all three together.

"Hmph, this saves me a lot of trouble," Qie Qiong thought to himself with a cold snort.

He slowly withdrew the oppressive aura of the "Annihilation Kingdom," and the Golden Light domain that had covered several light-years receded like the tide, returning to the Time-Extinguishing Pearl in his palm, leaving only faint ripples in Space-Time.

The terrifying pressure of the domain disappeared, and the powerful binding force of the Primal Star itself returned.

He glanced down at the profound mark on his palm containing the illusory images of a blue falcon, Thunder Dragon, and a celestial horse, feeling the power to Control of Space-Time brought by the "Time Annihilation Realm," and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

This is already the biggest gain from this trip to the Primal Star.

No matter what he gains in the next thousand eras, he believes Time-Extinguishing Pearl.

Universe Venerables from the Hongmeng Alliance cautiously approached from the depths of the palace, their faces filled with the relief of surviving a calamity. They respectfully bowed and said, "Congratulations, Palace Master, on obtaining the Supreme Treasure!"

Qie Qiong nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the basin that had been ravaged by the birth of the palace and the series of battles, before finally landing on the passage in the Primal Star.

"The North Prison Lord has appeared; the murky waters of the Primal Star seem to run deeper than anticipated," he mused. "However, with the Time-Extinguishing Pearl, no one will question my identity as the Universe Master anymore."

With a thought, the majestic "Silent Star Palace" appeared, enveloping his figure. The palace transformed into a silver Flowing Light, choosing not to join the commotion at the North Prison Lord, but instead soaring away in a direction different from the pursuers.

Although he could catch up with Yan Emperor, he himself was no match for Yan Emperor, and if Yan Emperor were in danger, no one knew whether the Universe Supreme Master would intervene.

The storm that arose from the Supreme Treasure has temporarily subsided, but the reputation of the Jixing Palace Master is destined to begin spreading throughout the Primal Universe.

The unexpected appearance of the North Prison Lord is like a boulder thrown into the deep waters of the Primal Star, attracting more powerful figures from other races, and even from the Human Race.

Somewhere on Primal Star 150.

The North Prison flew at an extremely high speed, and the three of them ultimately failed to catch up with the North Prison Lord.

Within a Palace Supreme Treasure, as black as ink, Yan Emperor was hidden.

"What bad luck! So I was planning to kill this newly ascended Human Race Universe Master to complete the mission," Yan Emperor cursed inwardly. "That damned Human Race really did discriminate against me back then, and now they've ruined my mission."

He knew in his heart that his act of betraying humanity had long since Sitting Mountain Guest very dissatisfied.

The teacher even strictly forbade him from mentioning the master-disciple relationship in front of others, clearly indicating that he intended to sever ties.

Severing the master-disciple relationship with the solitary strongest being in the universe, Sitting Mountain Guest, was an outcome that Yan Emperor could not accept.

He has led the Yan God Race to betray humanity, completely losing the solid backing of a top-tier race; if even his Sitting Mountain Guest, abandons him and severs their master-disciple relationship, he, as a Third-Order Universe Master, will no longer have any capital to roam the universe freely.

This is also why he came here this time as the North Prison Lord.

He originally thought that this newly ascended Universe Master was an easy target, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.

Thinking of the Jixing Palace Master, Yan Emperor felt a surge of jealousy and resentment. "If humans had bestowed this Supreme Treasure upon me back then, how could I have attacked our alliance and betrayed our race!"

The humans of that time merely bestowed upon him treasures of comparable value to top- Supreme Treasure Weapons.

This Jixing Palace Master was bestowed with a top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure!

A top- Domain Supreme Treasure, a treasure of comparable value to Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon or armor, a hundred times more valuable than it was back then!

If he possessed this Domain Supreme Treasure, along with his Tribulation Armor, Yan God Halberd, and Original Soul, he would have nearly a complete set of Peak Supreme Treasures.

At that time, in the Primal Universe, he will only need to respect those few people.

"And Sitting Mountain Guest." Thinking of him, his heart was filled with even more complex emotions. "If the Star Tower had been bestowed upon me instead of that unborn junior brother, how could I have ended up in this state!"

The Star Tower is an even more Most Powerful Supreme Treasure, and Palace Supreme Treasure at that.

If he possessed the Star Tower, he wouldn't fear even the Universe Supreme Master Primal Universe; that would truly be unrestrained and invincible.

He would trade all his treasures for it.

"Hmph, there's no point in saying more now. Once I become the strongest, I'll make you all pay the price." Yan Emperor sneered inwardly. "Right now, the hope of obtaining the precious peak-level flying Palace Supreme Treasure still rests on killing ten Universe Masters."

Qiong, riding the "Silent Star Palace," transformed into a silver Flowing Light and disappeared into the Primal Star basin.

However, the power he displayed and the unexpected exposure of the North Prison Lord swept across every corner of the universe through the intelligence networks of various races.

The Demon Race Territory, the Dream Ancestor Secret Realm.

The virtual, enormous serpentine shadow stands opposite the phantom of a colossal beast shrouded in a jagged shell.

"Zhen Jiao, the intelligence has been confirmed." The Dream Demon Ancestor's voice was solemn. "That newly ascended Universe Master the Human Race not only killed the Star Palace Master on the Primal Star, but also revealed an extremely powerful top -Domain-type Supreme Treasure! His strength may already be at the fourth-tier level."

"A top- Domain Supreme Treasure?" Ancestor Zhen Yao's voice was filled with disbelief. "Human Race is so wealthy? A newly ascended Universe Master can possess such Supreme Treasure? Or has Qie Qiong's potential already reached such a level?"

Because their Demon Race has two of the Universe Supreme Master, they are the richest among all the top races. However, they would never give such Supreme Treasure to a newly promoted Universe Master, not even to their own race.

"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the North Prison Lord!" The Dream Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed with a cold light. "This madman actually dares to show his face again?"

"North Prison Lord —humph." The Ancestor Zhen Yao's voice was filled with killing intent.

The Dream Demon Ancestor finally decided, "We can wait and see about humanity; they've already become a force to be reckoned with. But the North Prison Lord must die! This is also the thought of most of the forces in the Primal Universe."

The territory of the Machine Race, virtual space.

A massive Black Sphere (the Mechanical Father God) floated above, with the reverent Machine Race Universe Master below.

It is showing battle footage transmitted back from the Primal Star. Although there were no Machine Race members present at the time, it would not have been difficult for them to obtain this footage given their power.

Especially when they saw that Qie Qiong's domain could suppress the combined forces of Universe Master, they exclaimed in surprise.

"Three Third-Order Universe Master were suppressed by him, could this Human Race's Silent Star Palace already be Fourth-Order Universe Master?"

"Human Race is truly wealthy! A newly ascended Universe Master is already endowed with a top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure!"

"Another top-tier being has emerged from the Human Race; I wonder if they'll make any moves."

Before the Universe Master could say anything more, the enormous Black Sphere spoke.

"Alright, let's not rush the matter of the Human Race's Jixing Palace Master. He'll have to go to the Universe Ocean eventually, and then it will be easy for him to deal with a Universe Master who doesn't have a clone."

"The most important thing now is the matter of the North Prison Lord; we can't let him leave the Primal Star this time!"

Amidst endless clouds and mist, a colossal island floats suspended in mid-air.

"That Human Race Jixing Palace Master —he actually possesses such power? A top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure suppressing three third-tier beings." The Master Bi Xia's voice carried a hint of solemnity. "Sister, do you need us—"

You have to understand that she's only slightly stronger than those few Universe Master.

On her throne, the Zerg Queen, reclining languidly, waved her hand lightly. "The Jixing Palace Master? He can't be defeated in this Primal Universe. But that North Prison Lord —this cosmic cancer dared to show himself on the Primal Star; he's courting death. Issue the order: all Mother Emperor on the Primal Star, search for the Lord of the North Prison with all your might! Contact the Demon Race, the Machine Race, the Prison Race, and the Crystal Race, and share the coordinates of the North Prison Lord's appearance. He—must die!"

Her voice was gentle, yet it carried a chilling murderous intent.

Deep within the ancestral land of the Prison Race, churning with endless lava and skeletons, the Universe Supreme Master the Prison Race universe roared piercingly, "Pass down the order: all Prison Race and all subordinate forces, if they discover the North Prison Lord, kill him immediately!"

Back then, the North Prison Lord killed two Universe Masters, one of whom was from his own Prison Race.

On the other side, the Crystal Race Holy Land.

"The North Prison Lord, the countless blood debts he has committed against my Crystal Race must be repaid in blood! All Crystal Race Universe Master, immediately assemble towards Primal Star No. 150! This time, he will not be allowed to escape again!"

Within the vast and loosely organized virtual space of the Northern Border Alliance.

"The Jixing Palace Master, single-handedly suppressed the combined forces of Eternal Pay, Hai Jin, the Rift Crystal Master, and the North Prison Lord? This strength—it's probably already that of Fourth-Order Universe Master!"

"Furthermore, the North Prison Lord has appeared on the Primal Star."

"He actually dared to show his face when the Primal Star was launched!"

"How many eras has our alliance offered a bounty for his capture?!"

"North Prison Lord! Notify all members near the Primal Star: spare no effort, we cannot allow him to escape."

The Northern Border Alliance is a united force of various powerful and weak races in the Primal Universe, and naturally it is also the largest force in terms of numbers. This also led to the fact that a large portion of those imprisoned and killed by the North Prison Lord were their people.

Naturally, their current attitude towards the North Prison Lord is the most unyielding in the entire Primal Universe.
