Chapter 1303: Who Let the Cat out of the Bag?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Amidst the quiet, starlit sky of the universe, an island was erected right in the middle of the mighty golden waves. This was none other than the core ground of the Freedom Alliance.
Over 400 universe masters had gathered here and were seated on numerous thrones. They had come to a consensus not long ago and were waiting for the humans to hand over part of the information of the inheritance.
Shi Hua Island Leader was seated on the king’s throne as he gently swirled the wine glass in his hand. Lowering his gaze to look at the wine glass, he was smiling as he felt pleased with how things were progressing.
The great momentum at which the Freedom Alliance is progressing can be used to threaten the humans. Thereafter, I can get in touch with the humans without anyone from the Freedom Alliance knowing about it. Merely giving the information of inheritance to me as the condition in exchange for the entire Freedom Alliance to join the human camp… Oh, how easy it is to get hold of that information on cultivating to achieve the ultimate limit of a universe supreme master.
With these thoughts, Shi Hua Island Leader could not help but feel satisfied. He even started to develop feelings of self-admiration.
In fact, right at the beginning, when Luo Feng had received the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River, Shi Hua Island Leader had already known that within the primal universe, there might be chaos! With the human race gaining strength and power, the conflicts with other races of the primal universe would intensify to such an extreme that there might even be the possibility of a brewing storm. Since then, he had started to devise his plan of action, albeit discreetly, and had tried to get himself acquainted with universe masters of various scattered races.
Those scattered races had low social statuses. Therefore, they would ask for nothing more if they were able to form acquaintances with supreme masters who traveled alone! This was how he had managed to get acquainted with a large group of universe masters so quickly.
The moment he caught wind of Huge Axe Creator’s annihilation, Shi Hua Island Leader had been immediately aware that this was a catalyst for an imminent war, and it had been ignited long before expected! If Huge Axe Creator was annihilated… the other races would most likely start communicating with one another to prepare in the dark. Or maybe they would not react quite so soon, so he had to quicken his pace and react right away.
Everything was developing as expected…
The pressure the two major camps exerted on the scattered races had created the perfect opportunity. Shi Hua Island Master immediately made use of his social skills and relationships with the other great beings to start a round of persuasions. Soon enough, he had gathered a sizable group of powers on his side. Relying on those he had roped in, he went on to further persuade other groups of powers. Finally, he combined everyone he had roped in and established a super alliance: the Freedom Alliance.
“Be an alliance master? To me, it is pointless. What I am after is… to be truly invincible! To transcend reincarnation! The first thing I want to do is to attain what Teacher Origin has achieved. Then I will aim to transcend reincarnation like East Emperor Ancestor and Purple Moon Ancestor.”
Shi Hua Island Leader’s chest ballooned up with his overwhelming desire. As a supreme master who traveled alone, he was never one to be bothered by the so-called “power of alliance.” He had established one because he needed to make use of it.
He had waited casually all the while, with his consciousness kept connected to the virtual universe as he waited for the humans to reply. He might have connected to the virtual universe before, but previously, he had done so via a hidden identity. However, since the negotiations between the Freedom Alliance and the humans took place, all universe masters and supreme masters from the Freedom Alliance had permission to connect to the virtual universe. This would facilitate efficient communication between both sides.
Suddenly, the leisurely and carefree expression on Shi Hua Island Master’s face disappeared to reveal a heavy and furious mix of emotions. Right away, his eyes swept his surroundings as he shouted out in anger, “Everyone! Just a moment ago, we came to a consensus, yet now, the united forces camp has already charged their way into the humans’ primal secret region!”
The sudden shout of anger resonated throughout every inch of space on the entire island. Over 400 universe masters who were still chatting merrily while waiting for the information about the inheritance a moment before were instantly dumbstruck.
“How could it be?”
“Why would the united forces attack the humans at this point in time?”
“We have just reached a compromise internally. How could the united forces attack the humans so soon?”
“Who? Exactly who could have let the cat out of the bag? Don’t you all know that by doing so, we might be throwing away our chance of getting the information on that inheritance?”
“Who leaked the news?”
The universe masters on the island were all in rage instantly. The most infuriated one was none other than Shi Hua Island Leader. This could possibly foil all his fine plans.
“Obviously, there is someone amongst us who has leaked the news.” Shi Hua Island Leader’s stern gaze swept across the numerous universe masters. “This… This is dashing the hopes for the future of all our universe masters! This is unpardonable! Of course, I won’t rule out the possibility of an accidental slip of the tongue while conversing with a disciple or friend… but right now, obsessing about trying to find the culprit is pointless. The humans are all in hiding, and the united forces camp can do nothing to them, so the situation is not worsening. What we must do now is head to the human territory right away to join forces with the human camp.”
“All right.”
“True.”
“We will set off now!”
“Not a single universe master here can be left out. Anyone who refuses to go shall cast the most suspicion on himself.”
Some of the universe masters were worried that their hopes of achieving a breakthrough to become universe supreme masters had been dashed. Indeed, they were so mad that they were gritting their teeth to contain their anger. Exactly who was the one who had spilled the beans to the united force camp?
“Setting off.”
“Setting off.”
Soon, six palace true treasures made a mighty appearance up in the sky above the island. Then they made a speedy departure via their god country transportation.
Although they were all from the same alliance, the internal struggles among the cliques formed within the alliance were quite serious. Some scattered races were sworn enemies of one another, so of course, they did not want to work together. As a result, the over 400 universe masters were split into six teams. And with around 70 universe masters in one team, the amount of power they wielded justified their arrogance.
******
In the primal secret region within human territory.
The nine-story tower stood erected amidst the void space, and in the distance, 11 palace true treasures were attacking in an unrestrained frenzy. They were causing widespread destruction by reducing everything within that void space to an uncountable flow of particles, which then rained onto Star Tower with a rumble.
Peng! Long! Long!
Hong!
Star Tower was bombarded. It might have been a little shaken, but it definitely was not sent flying off its spot. This shocked the united forces camp.
“So many of us universe masters! Together with 11 universe supreme masters, we are such a powerful combination of force, yet we are unable to cause Star Tower to budge from its spot? Could it be because the over 100 universe masters within Star Tower are all helping and doing their best to stabilize Star Tower?”
“Star Tower is controlled by Luo Feng. This Luo Feng was the one who received the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River. With him around, any mysterious occurrence is possible. The Boat of Mausoleum is a treasure with willpower capable of exerting impact, and he took it away.”
The united forces camp was angry, yet they were also anxious. Very soon, the attacks came to a halt because they were all aware that the attacks were a complete waste of their godly powers. The humans were successful in their surprise attack previously because what they were attacking was a pinnacle palace true treasure. Where a pinnacle palace true treasure was concerned, it had close to negligible soul defense ability. But a supreme true treasure was different. If their opponent was hiding within Star Tower and Black Prison Tower, those were completely capable of blocking all kinds of material and soul attacks.
“It seems like we are going to fight a war of attrition.”
“When the Freedom Alliance arrives, the situation is going to be even more troublesome.”
“No matter what, we cannot give up on this war. There is no way we can watch the humans becoming stronger! At the very least, we have various groups of power joining forces this time. If we still let the humans off easily with this force of ours, we will become laughing stocks!”
******
Behind one of the side doors within Star Tower were Luo Feng, Primal Chaos City Leader, and Peng Gong Master.
“Bombard us away?” Luo Feng laughed. “Haha! That endless Remote Ocean is one of my other bodies. Even though I had transferred it into Star Tower where I can personally control it, getting it to budge an inch is a challenge to my limits… Now that the endless Remote Ocean is within Star Tower, how heavy is Star Tower now? I really have no idea. And they seek to bombard it away?”
“The united forces camp must be extremely angry,” Peng Gong Master commented while shaking his head. “I’m afraid up until now, they are still oblivious to the fact that every move they make, Teacher Origin is watching, and we will always be a step ahead.”
“Yes.” Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader both nodded.
Even within the human race itself, prior to this, Luo Feng and the rest had also been unaware that Teacher Origin was able to see almost every situation happening to them in every inch of the primal universe—not to mention the other races within the primal universe.
“Let’s wait for the Freedom Universe to arrive,” Primal Chaos City Leader said. “Then things will get so much easier.”
If there was no Freedom Alliance, the united force camp could have bound the humans quite effortlessly, and they could have sustained such bondage for eternity! All that was required of them was to leave behind over 200 universe masters and a portion of their supreme masters as permanent residents. Then the humans would have been completely suppressed. The other universe masters could then take turns to enter Universe Ocean for adventures anytime they pleased.
Seizing all the human territories, then binding the entire human camp were ways to deprive the humans of any room for development.
Very soon—the other races within the human camp would break away because those other races had to think of their own people as well. Yet this would cause the humans to get weaker and weaker, and eventually, it would be hard for them to establish a firm foothold in the primal universe. They might even have to retreat back into their original universe.
“Luo Feng, how could you be so daring as to…?” Primal Chaos City Leader took one look at Luo Feng as he sighed inwardly.
That plan was much too dangerous. Of course, the humans were in no danger at all. The one in danger was Luo Feng—only Luo Feng.
“We cannot do that. With the Freedom Alliance joining us, we definitely have an edge over the united forces camp. Luo Feng doesn’t need to take such a risk… The united force camps will never be able to realize their goal. It is their fate.” Primal Chaos City Leader was still waiting. He was still keeping in touch with Shi Hua Island Leader via the virtual universe, who had, in turn, informed him that the Freedom Alliance would make their way over without delay.
“Huh?”
From within Star Tower, Luo Feng, Peng Gong Master, and Primal Chaos City Leader looked out far into the distance and saw six massive objects making a sudden appearance.
“They have arrived!”
“They have arrived!”
Luo Feng instantly expressed his joy, while everyone else—from Primal Chaos City Leader to the numerous universe masters within Black Prison Tower—were all very excited.
******
Amidst the void space, 11 palace true treasures of the united forces camp were dangerously near. They had been conversing in secret because they knew that their opponent seemed aware of their plan of a sudden attack prior to their arrival and had managed to make a clean escape before they arrived. Thus, they had been unable to achieve their goal. As a result, they were forced to carry out a most insane war of attrition.
“They are coming.”
“The Freedom Alliance has arrived.”
They all saw the six massive palace true treasures appearing from afar, and those six palace true treasures exuded such a formidable oppressive force that it was obvious that the universe masters inside were doing it on purpose.
******
The Freedom Alliance’s six palace true treasures arrived in a mighty manner, unleashing such an endless, oppressive force that seemed to proclaim their status as the top group of power in the primal universe through the exhibition of such might.
“Humans, we have arrived.”
“We have arrived!”
This particular area in space might have been under the influence of those supreme masters who were forcing the virtual universe to remain open. All of them had avatars within their own race’s territory. Naturally, they were still able to connect to the virtual universe. This was how the six palace true treasures—apparently each with one representative from the six major factions—remained in touch with the humans.
“Freedom Alliance, what are you waiting for?” Primal Chaos City Leader responded. “Hurry over and help us humans. With both of us joining forces, we can definitely defeat our enemy, the united forces.”
“No hurry.”
“Primal Chaos City Leader, don’t get too anxious yet.”
“You humans must hand the information of the inheritance over to us first! As agreed, before the war, you must give us a portion of it. After the war, you will give us the remaining part. So, you all must first hand over part of the information of the inheritance… After we have seen, verified, and confirmed it, we will help you without reservation. Otherwise, we are in no position to attack anyone.”
“Yes.”
“Give us our share of the information on the inheritance first.”
The leaders of each of the six major factions were of one mind.
