Chapter 1046: Fu Mo Master
A towering being landed slowly on the ground beside the space whirlpool. He was more than 1,000 miles tall, and he was covered with black and red scaled-armor. He had a green face, green eyebrows, and two cardinal horns. He had only one eye, but that eye could see through everything on the original star, which trembled the space around him.
Hong!
Every spot on the Original Star—plains, forests, deserts, mountains, swamps, and oceans—was bound by the power! All the great beings on the original star were shocked to their very core.
"A universe master has arrived."
"It's a universe master!"
"Universe masters have come to this original star!"
Most of the universe knights didn't know why a universe master had arrived, but none of them dared to resist. Although control over space and time couldn't kill a universe master, it could still make it hard for universe overlords to walk—not to mention fly! Universe masters, on the other hand, could fly all the way to their targets and kill them.
Although universe overlords could rival the most ordinary universe masters when they let out their full strength, they could only rival universe masters when they didn't use any true treasure! Unfortunately, it was impossible for universe masters not to have any true treasures!
That was why there were only a few universe overlords who dared to fight universe masters, and at least there were no universe overlords who were able to do that on this original star! This was why, when they felt the powerful binding essence, they all knew it came from a universe master, and none of them dared to revolt.

"No! It's not likely to be Primal Chaos City Leader."
Golden Horned Beast raised his head. He could feel the fetters of this powerful force everywhere. If it had been Primal Chaos City Leader, he would have transmitted his voice already.
"How powerful the universe master is!" Luo Feng exclaimed. "The fetter is so strong, and he might have not even let out all his strength."
Once someone became a universe master, he was able to control space and time; he could even turn back time and see everything that happened. If they were powerful enough, they were even able to resurrect a fallen being.
He was able to control an enormous area of space and time. The original star was completely under his control.
******
The universe overlords heard a voice that made their heart miss a beat. "Leave it to me," said the voice. "You can all go now."
They were universe overlords, and they knew most of the universe masters within the Northern Territory Alliance. They could tell from the voice immediately that it was Fu Mo Master!
They stopped being so careful. Instead, they were overjoyed.
******
Fu Mo Master stood on the plain and immediately had everything on the original star under his control. He saw through all the space, the mountains, and the mud of the ground—and easily located the Golden Horned Beast lying in the forest afar.
"Space Beast Alliance."
A chill flashed through Fu Mo Master's eyes.
Heng! Hong!
******
Inside the forest.
The fetter in the space and time around the Golden Horned Beast suddenly surged as if an intangible giant had grabbed him with crushing force.
"Ah!"
Golden Horned Beast felt the terrific pressure bearing down on him. He quickly started to burn his godly power to resist it. However, the power of the fetter kept increasing.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Golden Horned Beast's godly body kept being weakened—1 percent was depleted immediately. The total quickly dropped from 99 percent to 98 percent, then 97 percent… His godly body just kept being weakened.
If I have my Force Armor on me, thought Luo Feng, I can weaken the force by 99.99 percent. That way, I won't be so easily annihilated. Anyhow, universe masters are so mighty… I haven't even seen him yet, yet I'm already seriously injured!
Golden Horned Beast tried to stand still and resist the pressure.
"Golden Horned Beast," a cold voice resounded. "Where's your true treasure armor? You were attacked by eight senior universe knights, one of whom has a true treasure, yet you were not injured at all! Why is it you are hurt only by my manipulation of space and time? Where's your true treasure armor? Where's your wing?"
"Just go on and kill me! Kill me!" Golden Horned Beast growled. "Hahaha…!"
"It seems that you've moved all your true treasures," said Fu Mo Master.
Heng!
Golden Horned Beast snorted.
Fu Mo Master was omnipotent, and it was natural that he could speculate Luo Feng's actions. He just wanted to use space and time to suppress Golden Horned Beast. Then he was going to concentrate his godly power to attack him directly!
However, before he could even concentrate his godly power, Golden Horned Beast's godly body was being consumed. This was entirely beyond Fu Mo Master's expectations. How could a Golden Horned Beast, who had incredible defending power, and who was more difficult to deal with than universe overlords, be killed so easily?
There was only one explanation. The Golden Horned Beast had transferred all his true treasures elsewhere.
"Golden Horned Beast, I'm a universe master," he said in a cold voice. "You're not even worth killing to me. I bet it took a long time for you to cultivate that godly body. Just give me the component! As long as you give me the component, or tell me where you put it, I'll let you go."
"Universe master, I might have been killed if I carried my true treasures," Golden Horned Beast said. "Unfortunately, I don't have any valuables on me, so there's no point threatening me. Golden Horned Beasts have clone techniques, so even if this godly body falls, the others will remain intact. As for a soul attack? Though my mind and willpower are not your match, I can easily self-destruct before you erode me."
All was silent. Fu Mo Master also stayed quiet for a while.
Indeed, it was extremely difficult to control a universe overlord's mind. It was almost impossible, even for universe masters who specialized in soul type attacks. Firstly, there wasn't a huge gap between the willpower and the mind of a universe overlord and a universe master; all universe overlords were extraordinary. Fu Mo Master didn't even specialize in soul type attacks, yet it would be a walk in the part for him to control the mind of a universe overlord.
As for soul erosion killing, universe overlords were perceptive and careful. Once they realized they couldn't resist it, they would destroy themselves!
******
"Golden Horned Beast," the voice said, growing even colder. "Are you threatening me?"
"Of course I'm not," Golden Horned Beast replied. "I just don't want to give you the component of Blade River Luo. I attained this valuable through luck and power. Universe masters are superior and venerated. Why would you need to capture my valuable using such powerful methods? You can't possibly need that valuable that much."
Heng!
Fu Mo Master was becoming angry. "You can only transfer your true treasure to other great beings instead of getting it out of the original star," he said. "After all, there were arrangements around the portal. Since the birth of Blade River Luo, there have been 122 potential universe knights who were close enough for you to have transferred it to. Out of all 122 universe knights, 89 of them are from the Hong Alliance or of the prison race, and they wouldn't be willing to help you. That leaves 33 who may have helped you. Your true treasure must be hidden with one of the 33 universe knights."
"I'll give you two choices," Fu Mo Master continued. "Option one: Tell me where the true treasure is. All I need is the godly blade of Blade River Luo. Option two: I take the time and slaughter every one of those universe knights until I find it. Odds are I I'll have to kill at least ten before I find it. After that, I'll take all your other true treasures, too. It's your choice. Option one or option two?"
Golden Horned Beast looked startled. "You… You'd slaughter universe knights just to get it?"
"Most of them will be willing to be interrogated by me under the threat of death," Fu Mo Master went on, "so I may only need to kill some of them. In any case, those who dare to go against me deserve to die."
"You—you…" For the first time, Golden Horned Beast appeared to become anxious.
Luo Feng, however, was not anxious. In fact, everything was going according to his plan.
******
Just as Primal Chaos City Leader had told him, he could buy himself some time by separating the Golden Horned Beast body and Remote Ocean body. And, of course, the longer he kept Fu Mo Master talking, the more time he bought himself. If Primal Chaos City Leader couldn't make it here on time, Fu Mo Master would find all the true treasures eventually.
Perhaps Fu Mo Master wouldn't really kill universe knights of other races recklessly just for a godly blade of Blade River Luo, thought Luo Feng. For now, I'll just buy as much time as possible.
Golden Horned Beast continued to act surprised. "Fu Mo Master!" he said, wide-eyed. "You're a universe master! How could you…!"
Hong!
Another terrific ripple arrived and surrounded the original star. The fetter binding the Golden Horned Beast was immediately gone.
"Another universe master!"
"Two universe masters!"
"What's happening on this original star?"
The universe knights on the original star were all petrified.
My teacher? Luo Feng thought.
A giant beast engulfed in flames, standing over 6,000 miles tall, showed up in the sky. The figure exuded boundless power.
"Fu Mo Master!" resounded the voice of the giant beast engulfed in flames. "I heard that you're going to attack a great being of the Space Beast Alliance and capture his valuable! You! Are you provoking our Space Beast Alliance?"
"Flame Star Master!"
Indignation flashed through Fu Mo Master's eyes. Flame Star Master was the most ancient and most powerful being of the Flame Star Beasts—one of the twelve pinnacle bloodlines of the Space Beast Alliance.
