Luo Feng looked at the two fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram floating far away, then at the 81 swaying black vines which exuded a vast power as he thought to himself, Even if I were to execute I Am the Universe together with Golden Kingdom and Cold Fog Sector, I might only be able to suppress Dream Ancestors Domain. That Devil Island Vine would still be able to beset me…

One-on-one, even if Sky Wolf Master possessed Dream Ancestors Domain, he would still dare to brave it out. But if the two pinnacle true treasures, Devil Island Vine and Dream Ancestors Domain were to be combined, he would meet the end of his resources, helpless and without hope.

Ice Mountain Master was more decisive and straightforward; the moment he realized this fragment was hopeless, he gave up immediately. “Luo Feng, let’s go,” he said. “We shall go get the other fragments of Pulling Traces Diagram!”

“Okay.” Luo Feng nodded and looked at the faraway fragment of the Pulling Traces Diagram with great reluctance before transforming into a beam of light and flying off.

“Hahaha…” The black Sky Wolf flew towards the two fragments of Pulling Traces Diagram feeling extremely pleased. “Human Luo Feng! Haha! You mere humans want to contend with us demons? What a joke. Humph! In earlier years, when you were all weak, you showed such arrogance. Now that you have become a universe master, you are still not my match.”

“Sky Wolf, there is still a fragment of Pulling Traces Diagram far away, and I am making my way there,” Remote Lord Master informed him via voice transmission.

“Okay,” Sky Wolf Master was quick to agree. “The other fragments of Pulling Traces Diagram here are drifting further apart, and the majority are not that big. They are not worth our joint efforts. We shall split for now and seek the other fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram separately. Maybe we are able to obtain more that way.”

******

Luo Feng and Ice Mountain Master were quick to separate and seek the random fragments, too. After all, there was only a total of close to 20 universe masters. The number of fragments of Pulling Traces Diagram was more than the number of universe masters. If two universe masters were to act together… although it would greatly boost the success rate of obtaining fragments, they would lose out in chances to fight for more fragments. Unless they were in a situation similar to the previous one—where one fight could earn them something that was comparable to six or seven fragments—it was not a preferred method to join hands in a battle.

“It’s mine.”

“Ice Mountain, stay away from this piece.”

“Hahaha… Nine Remoteness Master, you are here too? Without a domain type true treasure, how can you defeat us?”

The battles for contention grew serious.

The interlayer of this space had been formed when close to 20 universe masters from the top nine powers exerted their powers. Some of them were blessed with natural strength—like Ice Mountain Master and Canthus Devil Master—while some had extremely strong true treasures—like Remote Lord Master, Sky Wolf Master, and Sea Lotus Master… All of these universe masters were executing their techniques.

“I Am the Universe.”

During the process of fighting for the fragments of Pulling Traces Diagram, Luo Feng had used I Am the Universe twice, and to his best efforts. Yet even though he had used it twice, he could only obtain a fragment once. This showed how intense the fights were.

*******

While universe masters of the top nine powers were individually exerting their powers, fighting like crazy for those fragments, in the void space in the distance, Black Universe Creator’s gigantic flaming palm had grabbed hold of that black godly wood.

“Strange object obtained,” said Black Universe Creator in a voice that was low and powerful.

With a slight turn of his flaming head, he looked far into the void space, where chaotic battle raged. Previously, it was because Yuan Ao Master had been constantly on the run while Black Universe Creator remained in hot pursuit. The self-destruction of Yuan Ao Master had happened at a position that was very far from the Pulling Traces Diagram.

I thought I would need to pay a hefty price to find this strange object, thought Black Universe Creator, and I was quite prepared to offer some true treasures to the top nine powers. Who would have thought I could get it so easily?

Black Universe Creator’s eyes scanned his surroundings. In a faraway spot within the void space, there were fragments flying about randomly at high speeds, colliding into a gigantic shield, sending the shield tumbling and flying off in a frenzy.

Shield! Round hammer! Holy grail! Grey armor!

One after another, true treasures were scattered and flying off randomly in all directions within that void space. Previously, when Yuan Ao Master self-destructed, the force that emanated was frighteningly powerful. Even his World Ring had cracked and shattered. Some ordinary materials and objects were annihilated to nothing. Only some of the precious true treasures could survive the impact.

Numerous true treasures were flying off in random directions, and because of the collisions with countless other fragments flying at high speeds at random, these true treasures changed course and flew off in other directions too.

With this object, I have achieved my goal. Black Universe Creator looked at the chaotic battle going on far away. These true treasures are scattered all over the place. If I were to go fight for some, the traveling alone would require a long time. I would probably be able to get one or two treasures. To me, I am content with a self-protection type supreme true treasure and the strange godly wood for attacking purposes. As for the various true treasures scattered all over, since flying there would already be time-consuming, I will just leave it to the rest to toil through the battles.

“I’m leaving!”

Hua!

The golden-flamed figure speedily flew up into the sky and vanished amidst the vast, chaotic space.

There had not been many fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram in the first place. With nearly 20 universe masters from the top powers of the primal universe fighting their best to obtain these fragments, it only took a short moment for everything that could be seen in space to be taken by eager seekers. The stronger beings with more powerful true treasures like Canthus Devil Master and Golden Horn Master naturally had an edge above the rest, while those who were extremely skilled in controlling time and space would have a small advantage over the rest.

Luo Feng had not managed to seize much—merely two fragments—yet he used his Golden Kingdom to help Ice Mountain Master, who was already an extremely powerful being. After all, if the area under the influence of Golden Kingdom expanded, then no matter where Ice Mountain Master wanted to seize something from, with Golden Kingdom supplementing him, he would succeed no matter what. This made him invincible.

“Haha! This has been quite rewarding,” Ice Mountain Master said, expressing his gratitude via voice transmission. “I must thank you, Luo Feng, for your help. With your Golden Kingdom assisting me, together with my top-tier domain type true treasure and my personal power, I have seized an amount that is comparable to Canthus Devil Master, which is a total of five. Adding onto the two you seized, we humans have managed to obtain a total of seven, which is considered quite a feat. A pity the demons managed to obtain two fragments that were much bigger. What a pity.”

This time, among the nine top powers, the distribution was as such: some got more, the others got less. The Space Beast Alliance topped the list, obtaining a total of ten! The Nine Territory Alliance was at the bottom of the list with merely three!

Of course, the judgment could not be based solely on superficial numbers, because the fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram were different in size. A larger piece could be the equivalent of many small ones. While Sky Wolf Master and Remote Lord Master of the demon clan might have obtained a total of five altogether, the total area obtained by adding all the fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram might not lose out much to that of the Space Beast Alliance.

******

“The Space Beast Alliance has Golden Horn Master,” said Flame Emperor. “The Prison clan has Canthus Lord Master. And Humanity has Ice Mountain Master who, in turn, has Golden Kingdom as empowerment.”

“The demon clan actually brought along two of Dream Demon Ancestor’s extremely powerful true treasures. These four top powers have already seized more than half of the total, with each possessing about one-sixth of the total!”

Universe masters had everything that happened within battlefields at their fingertips. They were also very clear about how much they obtained. The exchange of blows this time around was also a clear demonstration of Luo Feng’s capability.

“Endless golden light, and the ability to control time and space… He is much stronger than a universe master who only wields the power to control a part of time and space! And that endless golden light seemed to be activated and catalyzed by the four silver wings. His true treasure wings may lose out a little to a pinnacle domain type true treasure in terms of power, but when it could control time and space, this was simply unbelievable. Its value is completely comparable to that of a pinnacle domain type true treasure. Humph. If he did not have that golden light space and time domain, Ice Mountain Master would never have been able to seize so many fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram.”

Sky Wolf Master and some other universe masters were now coveting Luo Feng’s true treasures. But their helplessness outmatched their desires. Luo Feng was someone who had single-handedly killed over 6,000 universe knights from the three major alliances; they just had to let their desires go, albeit with great reluctance.

“Sitting Mountain Guest is so biased!” said Flame Emperor. “He only gave me Original Soul and Yan Shen halberd. And Force Armor was only on loan when I needed it. When Luo Feng entered the picture, I had to return it to Luo Feng.” Flame Emperor’s heart was filled with hatred. “Sitting Mountain Guest even gave the supreme true treasure, Star Tower, to Luo Feng. Force Armor and Star Tower. I was aware that he had given them to him, but… But—but his true treasure wings that can control time and space! How rare and unique they are! Only someone like Sitting Mountain Guest could possibly own it, and he actually gave it to Luo Feng! What bias! Just wait, just wait… I may not have gotten as much as you, but I will trample on you, and one fine day, I may even be able to be like Teacher Origin, who has everyone—even Sitting Mountain Guest—at his feet! Throughout the universe, rampaging the universe… I am the Universe!”

Flame Emperor was so overwhelmed that it filled his entire heart.

“There are true treasures a distance from here. Those are the true treasures that Yuan Ao Master left behind after he self-destructed. Black Universe Creator actually left?”

“Hurry up, true treasures.”

A universe supreme being who was a lone wanderer—with nothing to worry about and nothing to hold him back—had gained a strange godly wood. Maybe to Black Universe Creator, the only thing left that could attract him was a supreme true treasure. As for those true treasures that Yuan Ao Master had left behind after his death, they were nothing worthy to Black Universe Creator.

It’s the same reason why Sitting Mountain Guest could give such a great amount of valuables to his disciples without any regrets. Why? Because he had enough for himself, with nothing to worry about and nothing to hold him back, so there was nothing more he required. Those that became excess would only be stored in the treasure vault, never to see daylight again.

On the contrary, Space Ancestor and Huge Axe Creator both led their races. They had responsibilities to take care of, so they valued and held other pinnacle true treasure with high regard.

******

Sou! Sou!

One by one, the universe masters flew off in various directions at top speed. Yuan Ao Master left behind quite a sizable amount of valuable treasures after being annihilated, but as his godly body self-destructed with such great might, all his true treasures had been rocketed in all directions. All of them had landed very far from where Yuan Ao had self-destructed and, unfortunately, also very far apart from one another. The universe masters could only choose one target and head in that specific direction.

Luo Feng locked his eyes on the holy grail right away. “Sand Cup!”

That holy grail was originally named Sand Cup. It was also known as Flame Sand Cup and was one of the top-tier domain type true treasure under Yuan Ao Master’s possession. Previously, this sand cup was what Yuan Ao Master had used to release that domain of flame.

“The armor, shield, hammer, and everything else are all useless to me,” said Luo Feng. “To maximize the full potential of my Golden Kingdom, I will need a top-tier domain type true treasure that matches it well. Then, together with my Miniature Universe, even in the face of a pinnacle domain type true treasure, I am pretty sure the combination of these three would be difficult to suppress.”

Naturally, Luo Feng was determined to get his way, but at that moment, Sky Wolf Master was also making his way over rapidly from another direction.

Hong! Long! Long!

Sky Wolf Master, Golden Horn Master and Sea Lotus Master who owned pinnacle domain type true treasures were all giving full play to their treasure’s power, continuously colliding with one another from afar. Luo Feng’s endless golden light moved to form a complete cover but without colliding with the others. The other universe masters were unable to control time and space, unable to use their domain to their advantage, or—even worse—unable to detect the position of some true treasures that were slightly further away.

“That’s mine!” Sky Wolf Master flew over at top speed.

“It’s mine,” said Luo Feng

Both attempted to shift the Flame Sand Cup nearer to them by exerting control over the true treasure from afar. However, it was obvious that Sky Wolf Master’s pinnacle domain type true treasure was a notch stronger.

Xiu! Xiu!

Luo Feng and Sky Wolf Master were closing in on the Sand Cup without so much as a pause.

When they were both around 60 million miles away from the Sand Cup—and when there was only Luo Feng and Sky Wolf Master left within that 60-million-mile area—Luo Feng’s eyes flashed a sharp look.

“The seizure of treasures has to come to an end, and this Sand Cup must fall in my hands,” he announced. “I Am the Universe!”

Because he had his Golden Horned Beast body to replenish his godly power, his = original earthling body was able to stay at its pinnacle condition.

Hong! Long!

The vast void space fell into darkness in an instant. A chaotic airflow spread outward. Within this Miniature Universe, at a diameter of 60 million miles, there were only two souls: Luo Feng and Sky Wolf Master.

“Is that the chaotic world that has been shrunken to a miniature size?” said Sky Wolf Master.

Sky Wolf Master was shocked. This operation had been rather delightful, and the number of fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram obtained was plentiful. If he could finish things off by obtaining this top-tier domain type true treasure, everything would be perfect. But one look at this endless chaotic airflow, and he knew right away that Luo Feng was going to use his strongest technique.

“Hahaha! Human Luo Feng, it’s just you alone,” said Sky Wolf Master, “yet you wish to fight me?”

The black form of Sky Wolf Master flew amidst the endless chaotic airflow, but his voice alone was able to make the surrounding chaotic airflow tremor and disperse.
