Swallowed Star

Thoughts flooded Luo Feng’s mind, and he couldn’t think straight.

Purple Moon Holy Land? He hadn’t been in Universe Ocean for a long time, and the only enemy he had made was the Divine Eye clan, yet the two holy lands weren’t his enemies. They must have had some unpleasant encounters with Eastern Emperor Holy Land! However, Purple Moon Holy Land fought for the inheritance just like all the other powers in Universe Ocean, but they didn’t try their best. Eastern Emperor occupied the most important and the most central area, trying to take Boat of Mausoleum by force. On the other hand, powers like Purple Moon Holy Land all waited outside, and they didn’t contact Luo Feng during the fight. Neither did they try to make a deal with him.

“They didn’t try to negotiate with me, and it’s been outside the power struggle all the time. Why did they…?” Luo Feng immediately held grudges against Purple Moon Holy Land.

How could he not? The humans had been in a wonderful situation before, yet with Purple Moon Holy Land meddling, it was in danger now.

I have several bodies, Boat of Mausoleum, and Star Tower, thought Luo Feng. That Purple Moon Ancestor should understand that no matter how horrifying the battle is, I’ll survive. If he wants to force me to give out the inheritance, it’ll be impossible. Why is he against me and humans? Besides, if he really wants the inheritance, he should at least try to negotiate with me.

Luo Feng was speculating. Purple Moon Holy Land… They didn’t seem to care much about the inheritance from Duan Dong River, especially Purple Moon Ancestor. He didn’t seem to desire the Duan Dong River inheritance very much. Why was he against Luo Feng and the humans?

It was baffling, and Luo Feng felt that Purple Moon Ancestor must have some other purpose.

What does this Purple Moon Ancestor want? He’s willing to give the inheritance information from ancient civilization to the Freedom Alliance for them to gang up on me and the humans?

Luo Feng sensed that there must be many factors unknown to him.

Inside the palace, after Shi Hua Island Leader finished talking, he said, “I failed you this time. However, since I obtained some information from you, I won’t do anything during this battle.” He left after he finished speaking.

Luo Feng, Darkness Master, Primal Chaos City Leader, and Peng Gong watched him leave without stopping him. They understood that if they gave Shi Hua Island Leader the information on how to become limit universe supreme masters, he might actually help the humans. However, one universe supreme master couldn’t change anything. Otherwise, they would have used that to draw supreme masters to their side a long time ago.

“Prepare for the war,” said Primal Chaos City Leader.

“Okay.”

Luo Feng, Peng Gong Master, and Darkness Master nodded with solemn faces.

******

Inside the palace of the Freedom Alliance, controlled by Shi Hua Island Leader.

“Shi Hua, we wronged you this time. We hope you understand.”

“Brother Shi Hua, Lightwalker Master brought each of the universe masters lots of benefits, which is why we followed him this time. Once the war is over and we get the inheritance, Lightwalker won’t have any power to command us anymore. The alliance leader of the Freedom Alliance is you.”

“That’s right. We support you, Shi Hua.”

The universe masters on the division of Shi Hu Island Leader kept consoling him, as they knew he was deeply upset.

“All right, I understand your reasoning. You didn’t do the wrong thing.” Shi Hua Island Leader looked around, and he saw the exit of the palace. He couldn’t help sighing. Although these universe masters were in his division, they weren’t his slaves, which was why they all stayed at the exit to prevent him from going to the humans and turning them over to the humans.

They were all at the exit. Once they all utilized their power—and with lots of them having multiple bodies—they could rival eight or nine universe supreme masters and burst out of the palace.

Shi Hua Island Leader transmitted his voice. “Prepare for the battle.”

Even though his plan had failed, he didn’t want to antagonize them. After all, there were many divisions in the Freedom Alliance, and no powers were willing to bow to another. Nobody could control everyone. He was leading a division and was the only universe supreme master, so other powers were convinced of his reputation.

Besides, the other universe masters followed Lightwalker Master because he had the inheritance information given by Purple Moon Ancestor. Once they had the inheritance information, they wouldn’t follow Lightwalker Master anymore. After all, many universe masters were actually foes of Lightwalker Master.

******

“Hahaha!” Prison Race Devil Ancestor guffawed. “I can’t believe the humans are so stupid that they even wrong you, Freedom Alliance. Once your alliance cooperates with us, we’ll have more than 800 universe masters and more than ten universe supreme masters, accounting for almost 80 percent of the top powers in the original universe. Those humans are not our match. They’ll definitely lose!”

“That’s right, they’ll lose.”

“They’re nobody. If we attack them all at once, they’ll be crushed, and lots of universe masters will die.”

The united forces alliance and the Freedom Alliance got close to each other and transmitted their voices using their godly power. They were all cheerful and confident, of course. More than 800 universe masters and more than 10 universe supreme masters! Nobody could resist such a power in the original universe.

“Those cowards from the human race. They hide in Star Tower, and we can’t hurt them.”

“Encircle them!”

“Encircle Star Tower!”

“That’s right, encircle! Encircle Star Tower completely! Once they exit Star Tower, we’ll attack them! They won’t be able to resist our attacks!”

“Unless they hide in Star Tower forever.”

“If they want to hide in Star Tower forever, we’ll encircle and suppress them forever. We only need one-third of the universe masters and universe supreme masters to guard this place. Then they won’t have any power to fight back, and we can take this chance to rob the human territory.”

“Without their territory and trapped forever! Unless they go back to the primal universe… However, without the resources from the original universe, the humans won’t have a future, so they’ll be a threat no more.”

******

In the towering nine-story Star Tower, the true treasure palaces from the united forces alliance and the Freedom Alliance floated and started to move. They surrounded Star Tower like a giant oval with Star Tower at the center, enveloping it entirely.

“More than 800 universe masters and more than ten universe supreme masters!”

The universe masters and the three ancestral gods from the Ancestral God School were all terrified.

“Such terrific power.”

“The humans don’t even stand a chance!” They were all panicking.

“Don’t panic!” the old Ancestral God growled. “Even though we of the Ancestral God School want to help the humans, we’ll be attacked by the hundreds of universe masters if we appear from Ancestral God Altar. Many of us will die. We must stay in Ancestral God Altar and defend ourselves. As long as we stay in Ancestral God Altar, all the material attacks can be neutralized. With the three of us combined, along with the help of the mind of the original universe, any soul attacks can be defended by our blurry godly power.”

“That’s right. We don’t need to worry about our safety, but we can’t help the humans. I think the humans will understand why we do this.”

The three ancestral gods and the universe masters made up their minds immediately. They all hid in Ancestral God Altar and didn’t appear! Saving their lives was their top priority. After all, it was an alliance of more than 800 universe masters and more than 10 universe supreme masters. Who dared to resist that?

******

Everyone in Star Tower was worried. The 100-plus universe masters staying in Star Tower could see those true treasure palaces surrounding them clearly, as their view outside was unobstructed.

“Surrender, humans!”

“Give us the inheritance from the ancient civilization!”

“The inheritance to evolve from universe masters to limit universe supreme masters—give it all to us! Once we confirm it, we’ll retreat. Otherwise, you humans won’t be able to thrive in the original universe anymore! The human territory won’t belong to you anymore!”

“Give us the inheritance!”

“Give us the inheritance!”

The voices spread into Star Tower.

The 100-plus universe masters in Star Tower, especially universe masters of other races, all panicked. Primal Chaos City Leader, Luo Feng, Darkness Master, Peng Gong Master, Long Yan Master, Huang Jian Master… All the universe masters looked around and realized that even if they gave a strict order, those universe masters of other races wouldn’t make attacks at the exit. After all, they wouldn’t be willing to die.

“They seek to force us to give out the inheritance?” Primal Chaos City Leader looked cold.

“Only in their dreams.” Luo Feng stared outside as well.

These races all regarded the humans as a huge threat, but once the humans gave out the inheritance, the bug race, the demon race, the automaton race, and the others would grow more powerful as well, which meant the humans wouldn’t be a threat to them in the future—even if they were stronger. The other races had two choices. One, they could receive the inheritance and retreat. Or two, they could knock the humans out of the original universe. Both choices were acceptable to the united forces alliance.

“Luo Feng!” Primal Chaos City Leader looked at Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng!” Darkness Master looked to Luo Feng as well.

“Milky Way!” added Peng Gong.

All the human universe masters looked to Luo Feng. They already knew the plan, and they also understood how strong it was. However, under the current circumstances, only Luo Feng’s plan was likely to work.

This plan involved a gamble that would risk Luo Feng’s life.

Luo Feng’s eyes glinted coldly. “Leave it to me.”

“Be careful,” Primal Chaos City Leader said, concerned.

“Don’t worry.” Luo Feng looked at all the towering true treasure palaces outside. “They want to kill me?”

Though he sounded relaxed, it was an alliance of more than 800 universe masters and more than 10 universe supreme masters.

“Larger, larger, larger!”

Luo Feng’s power immediately surged. At the same time, the towering Star Tower became larger. 100 billion kilometers tall, a trillion kilometers tall… It kept expanding and growing, and it collided with all the true treasure palaces.
