Chapter 1154 Crazy Battles of Contention
After all, the Pulling Traces Diagram was merely a piece of Tilted Peak Sector Map that was made out of a unique material. Since Yuan Ao Master's power could allow him to tear and destroy an ordinary true treasure effortlessly, the Pulling Traces Diagram would naturally be torn and divided into a dozen smaller pieces within the blink of an eye. This was like the black metal boards Luo Feng used to record the Nine Volume Manual. Although the diagram had been shredded into pieces, every fragment would still contain a part of the drawing on the diagram.
Putting all 12 smaller fragments together into one combination, a complete version of the Tilted Peak Sector Remnant Diagram left behind by Xuan Yuan would be obtained.
"Pulling Traces Diagram!"
"That loathsome Yuan Ao!"
Initially, the dozen universe masters from numerous top powers were angry, but their anger was soon replaced by a contiguous scramble for the fragmented Pulling Traces Diagram. This was because they were all aware that even if only fragments were left… They were nonetheless part of Xuan Yuan's legacy, so every fragment still recorded a part of the remnant diagram. All of these were highly valuable!
Ice Mountain Master anxiously sent out a voice transmission: "Luo Feng, grab that Pulling Traces Diagram."
"Understood." Luo Feng was also frantically trying his best.
The towering yet pale-looking Canthus Devil Master let out a fearsome roar. "Do not contend with me!" He stopped his attacks on Black Universe Creator. Then, paying no heed to Black Universe Creator, he headed straight for one of the flying fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram that was nearest to him. It was one of the bigger fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram. "Get lost!"
Hong! Long!
Canthus Devil Master was holding onto a gigantic, long whip. With a sudden lash, the whip grew even longer. It was more than 60 million miles, and it swept toward Sea Lotus Master of the bug clan, who was about to snatch a fragment of the Pulling Traces Diagram. Amidst these frenzied attacks raining down, Sea Lotus Master did not dare summon the large number of bug soldiers under his command.
"Canthus Devil!" Sea Lotus Master's beautiful face was scrunched up in anger.
"That is mine, bug clan! Don't even think about taking it!" Canthus Devil Master gave a furious roar and charged.
"Humph! That is mine, you go look for others!" said Sea Lotus Master.
Suddenly, endless ripples started appearing within Sea Lotus Master's surroundings and spread out in a circular motion. The strong impact repelled all of Endless Light Domain within that area, which naturally formed a suppression over Canthus Devil Master.
The pale-looking Canthus Devil Master roared. Suddenly, black waves started spreading out in all directions with him as the center. Black, raging water of the ocean also spread out within the blink of an eye, charging at the Endless Light Domain and Endless Ripples Region in the surroundings.
The universe masters from the top nine powers who were present at the Yuan Ao Secret Region were all well-prepared. Three of them had pinnacle domain type true treasures-Golden Horn Master, Sea Lotus Master, and Canthus Devil Master.
Previously, when they were fighting Yuan Ao Master, solely Golden Horn Master's pinnacle domain type true treasure was enough, as everyone was quite united and acted with concerted efforts. However, they were now all fighting for this Pulling Traces Diagram… How could they stay united? As expected, all of them would be putting in their best. Those with greater powers would naturally be more ambitious, seeking to claim one or several pieces-or the bigger fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram…
Black Universe Creator suddenly gave a low growl. "You all can fight for that Pulling Traces Diagram. I don't want it. I only want that strange object."
"All right."
"All right."
"Black Universe Creator, we shall not contend with you."
"The strange object shall be yours."
"The strange object goes to you; Pulling Traces Diagram goes to us."
Many great beings let out sighs of relief upon hearing this. In terms of power, Black Universe Creator was definitely able to defeat them. Earlier, through joint efforts, they could suppress even a universe supreme being. But the moment they were no longer united… if Black Universe Creator set his heart on fighting, even if it was not possible to obtain half of it, he could still hope to get quite a sizable amount.
"Humph!" Black Universe Creator sneered inwardly. "If it was the complete Tilted Peak Sector Remnant Diagram left behind by Xuan Yuan, then it would definitely have records of the details of the situation from the outer world to the bottommost depth. But now, it is tattered and torn. Even if I were to obtain ten fragments, they would still be segregated fragments scattered about randomly. They would not be able to form a clear route, which means their value would be greatly reduced… I would be better off with this strange object in hand. With this strange object, my power within the Universe Ocean would be boosted to another level up!"
Hong!
Black Universe Creator chased after the escaping Yuan Ao Master as fast as he could.
Although the various parties were fighting each other-regardless of being under the suppression of Endless Light Domain, Endless Ripples Region, or Endless Black Water Region-they would all be dealt with intentional suppression. Since they had all given their word to Black Universe that the strange object would be his to claim, they would naturally fulfill their promise and give the favor to Black Universe Creator. Besides, the act of Yuan Ao Master shredding the Pulling Traces Diagram into fragments had made many of these universe masters angry.
"Ice Mountain Master, help me out," Black Universe Creator said. "Give me full control of your Ice Mountain Palace. After all this, I will give you a pinnacle true treasure as a gift of gratitude."
"Sure."
Ice Mountain Master used part of his consciousness to control Ice Mountain Palace as he tried his best to suck Yuan Ao Master into it. As for Ice Mountain Master himself, of course he would be with the other universe masters fighting crazily for the fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram.
"Yuan Ao Master, you are hopeless," Black Universe Creator said, rapidly closing up the distance. "Annoying."
Yuan Ao Master's speed was ridiculously slow. With Black Universe Creator's ability to restrain time and space, his pinnacle domain type true treasure and pinnacle sealing type true treasure's suction force… Under the three-tiered restraint, Yuan Ao Master's speed was piteously slow, while Black Universe Creator could maintain his speed.
Yuan Ao Master communicated via voice transmission. "Black Universe Creator, I will give you this strange object. How about you let me off?"
Surrounding voices in the void space had already been distorted by the suction force of Ice Mountain Palace, so even godly powers were dispersed and scattered. This, in turn, allowed Ice Mountain Master to be able to detect the Yuan Ao Master's voice that was meant to be transmitted to Black Universe Creator.
Even though he was far away, Ice Mountain Master's consciousness was constantly following everything that was happening on this side. "We cannot let him off," said Ice Mountain Master. "Black Universe Creator. He has to die."
"Kill him."
"Kill him."
Universe masters had very powerful consciousnesses. Even if they were to give their all to fight for the fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram, they were still able to pay attention to the scene of Black Universe Creator going after Yuan Ao Master. Clearly, they all wanted Yuan Ao Master's life. Once he was annihilated, they would be considered to have made a great contribution in their capacities as top powers of the universe. The primal universe would bestow rewards to their races in return.
"You will give me the strange object?" Black Universe Creator asked.
"Yes, I am giving it to you," Yuan Ao Master said with heightened anxiety. "Let me go."
"If I kill you, I will also be able to obtain the strange object," said Black Universe Creator, "in addition to all the various true treasures you carry with you. I will also be considered to have made a great contribution. Although none of these factors are important to me-except to be able to contribute to the primal universe-of course, more is better."
Black Universe Creator laughed and announced, "Yuan Ao, meet your doom!"
"Contribution, what are you contributing?" Yuan Ao Master asked persistently.
"Dying fellow, there is no need for you to know so much," Black Universe Creator said. Then he charged toward Yuan Ao Master at high speed.
******
Because Black Universe Creator did not involve himself in the fight for fragments of the Pulling Traces Diagram, the time and space under his control had shrunken to a size that was only surrounding the area he and Yuan Ao Master was in, and his control had no influence over the others.
Therefore, Luo Feng had much to gain out of this situation.
"Golden Kingdom!"
Luo Feng flapped his wings. In an instant, an endless, misty golden light enshrouded a region with a radius as big as one light year-except for the part of the region that was under Black Universe Creator's control. Every other region fell under Luo Feng's control.
"What strong control."
Black Universe Creator watched from afar, where that endless space had been broken off by the force from the silver-winged figure. Then he continued raining attacks on Yuan Ao Master.
Hua! Hua! Hua!
Golden waves were spreading. Nine Tiger River had covered an area of three 1,800 miles in an instant. With the empowerment of Golden Kingdom, Nine Tiger River was blatantly superior. Except for the three main regions-namely, Ripples region, Black Water region, and Light region-the top-tier domain type true treasures used by other great beings were all destroyed to naught when Luo Feng's Nine Tiger River crashed into them.
Everyone understood the rules. Like Luo Feng's Golden Kingdom, although it was able to control an extremely large area, he would never intentionally cause destruction to other regions. Due to the far distance, even if he were to cause destruction intentionally, he would never succeed. On the contrary, he would be offending the other great beings.
Those who owned pinnacle domain type true treasures like Golden Horn Master, Sea Lotus Master, and Canthus Devil Master were all clear of their own capabilities. They exercised self-restraint when it came to pinnacle domain type true treasures and would never cause disruptions to the operations of other great beings; by doing so, they would become a common enemy and would be subjected to mass attacks by the others
"Annoying!"
"Luo Feng, how dare you contend with me? Courting death!" Flame Emperor shouted as the fragment of Pulling Traces Diagram that was almost within his grasp became enshrouded by Luo Feng's Nine Tiger River instead. This was because his domain true treasure fell apart after being crushed by Luo Feng's true treasure.
"Flame Emperor, this valuable was meant to be owned by the abled," mocked Luo Feng. "If you have the capability, come get it."
The fragment of the Pulling Traces Diagram was within Nine Tiger River, and it flew toward Luo Feng at a rapid speed.
"That is mine."
Nine Tiger River transformed into a stream of light, but he directly charged into Nine Tiger River.
Hong! Long!
Flame Emperor held on to his Yan Shen Halberd. Then he roared, and with a wave of his Yan Shen Halberd, he sliced a path out of the endless golden waves and made his way after the fragment of the Pulling Traces Diagram.
This made Luo Feng jump with shock. The Pulling Traces Diagram was still 12 million miles away from him. It would take quite a while for it to reach him, so it seemed like Flame Emperor could easily intercept midway.
"Humph."
Luo Feng was holding onto his pinnacle true treasure Absolute Guest.
Sou!
Immediately, he charged over. At the same time, using Nine Tiger River, he intentionally manipulated the fragment of Pulling Traces Diagram into making a detour so that it would be moving at a speed that was close to his. Then, with a single beckoning, he speedily stored the Pulling Traces Diagram in his world ring. This is the first fragment he had obtained!
"Hahaha! Many thanks, Flame Emperor," Luo Feng said, gazing at Flame Emperor. "Courtesy calls for reciprocity. Isn't that so? I believe we have achieved that now."
Flame Emperor went pale. He knew what Luo Feng was referring to. Back when Luo Feng had approached him to claim his Force Armor, he had secretly let out news about Luo Feng's tracks, which caused many universe knights and universe overlords to lay ambush and attack Luo Feng. That had nearly cost Luo Feng his life, and even up to the moment when Luo Feng finally reached him, Flame Emperor had not been willing to hand over Force Armor. Eventually, Luo Feng had to use Sitting Mountain Guest's name to oppress Flame Emperor, at which point Flame Emperor had finally given up Force Armor.
Back then, Flame Emperor's doings were vicious. This time around, Luo Feng had managed to take an eye for an eye.
"Humph!" Flame Emperor said. "If not for Teacher's bias toward you, which allowed you to own such a supreme true treasure. You would not be able to possess such unique skills in controlling space. Then how would you be able to manage to snatch the fragment of the Pulling Traces Diagram away from me?" Flame Emperor's transmitted voice dripped with coldness. "In terms of capability, you are not my match at all."
"Hahaha! You can't snatch it from me, so you are blaming it on Teacher, saying that he was biased." Luo Feng scoffed.
Sou!
Luo Feng turned and flew off. He could not be bothered with Flame Emperor.
"Loathsome!" snarled Flame Emperor. His expression was fearsome. With gritted teeth, he turned to fly off in another direction, where his final hope of obtaining a fragment of the Pulling Traces Diagram was.
******
"Suppression!"
With Black Universe Creator's great efforts, coupled with the cooperation of Ice Mountain Master and the coordination of a pinnacle domain type true treasure, Yuan Ao Master sustained such severe injuries that he finally flew toward the gigantic doors of the palace and out of Ice Mountain Palace.
"Aaah! Aaah!" Yuan Ao Master roared with insanity. "You want me dead? You want my true treasure? You all think I will let things go your way so easily? Self-destruct!"
Hong!
How frightening the godly power contained by a universe master's million-mile-tall godly body was! And for it to self-destruct within an instant… That self-destructive power was so strong that it surpassed the strongest attack by Star River Master to fully attain the ultimate limit set under the influence of the primal universe.
All at once, an immeasurable energy wave charged out in all directions.
"Yuan Ao has self-destructed."
"Protect the Pulling Traces Diagram!"
"Protect it well!"
