When strong lights rose from the two Main Hall doors, the sight of all the Universe Master was drawn.
Other, slightly fainter, lights converged from various parts of the palace, finally pouring into the stone stele in the Central Square.
Buzz!
The stone stele, gathering many lights, rose and floated in the air.
Text appeared at the bottom of the stone stele, and its content caused some Universe Master present...
To change their expressions!
"So ruthless? Is Original Universe going crazy?"
"Unless both the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Claw' and the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Spine' are acquired simultaneously, the side hall doors containing parts of the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor' cannot be opened."
"This is forcing us into a frantic struggle, to desperately seize two sets of top-tier suit treasures!"
"As long as any side hall door remains unopened, the doors of this palace will not open, and we will be unable to leave. If the Original Star closes… we will surely perish!"
The new message on the stone stele filled the Universe Master who had accepted the Northern Territory Alliance's invitation with worry.
Because as they helped the Northern Territory Alliance, the Human Alliance's strength no longer held a significant advantage.
At least for now, both sides were in a state of barely matched strength.
It was precisely because of this barely matched strength that neither side would give up on the struggle for the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor'!
Without a fierce struggle, and one side not gaining a huge advantage, the contest would not end!
"You Mo, the situation is a bit out of control now."
The Coffin Insects Master transmitted, "We can cause trouble for the Human Alliance, but we can't possibly risk our lives for the Northern Territory Alliance, can we!"
"Risk our lives? How could that be!"
The ugly You Mo Master sneered in a mental transmission, "Even though our four Pinnacle Race have been at odds for countless years, not many Universe Master have truly perished."
"With the Northern Territory Alliance's meager treasures, they want us to risk our lives for them?"
"We'll see how things go when we're contending for treasures. If the Northern Territory Alliance gains the upper hand, we might as well step on the Human Alliance."
You Mo Master said, "If the Human Alliance gains the upper hand, we should prioritize preserving our lives and strength."
"As long as any one side obtains two sets of top-tier suit treasures, we will be able to leave this palace."
In terms of life-saving ability, You Mo Master was even stronger than the Sky Wolf Master, so how could he do such a desperate thing!
"Then that's what we'll do."
The Coffin Insects Master relaxed; he also didn't want to risk his life for the Northern Territory Alliance.
In the Central Square, the floating stone stele, shimmering with light, suddenly shot two dazzling light spheres towards the doors of the two Main Hall, like launched cannonballs.
Boom!
The two light spheres, which had been blasted over, merged into the two strongly glowing Main Hall doors.
With a "chi" sound, as if blasted open by the light spheres, the two Main Hall doors opened simultaneously!
"The Main Hall doors are open!"
"Quick, go inside and seize the treasures!"
The Northern Territory Alliance side was very lively, with many Universe Master transmitting messages at the same time, somewhat chaotically.
There was no other way; among the 26 Universe Master, 4 were not members of the Northern Territory Alliance and could not communicate vian Immortal Energy Avatar.
"Proceed according to plan."
Penggong Master and the Dragon Walk Master flew towards the Main Hall containing the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Spine' and left a message for Ender.
Ender and others, led by the Ice Summit Master, hurried towards the other Main Hall.
"Follow me."
Seeing this, the Black Lotus Master transformed into a streak of light and followed Penggong Master.
He also enveloped several surrounding Universe Master with his Domain, protecting them from the influence of Penggong Master's Domain treasure ahead.
…
On the other side.
The Ice Summit Master activated his Domain treasure, 'Cold Mist Realm', and endless white mist instantly spread in all directions, with countless ice crystals within the mist.
The power of the top-tier Domain treasure directly caused the speed of several Universe Master, who only had high-grade treasures protecting them, to drop significantly.
However, there was another earthy yellow Domain contending with the 'Cold Mist Realm', preventing the latter from suppressing a large area.
"Ice Summit Master!"
The Rugged Rock Master from the Gu Yan Alliance was enveloped by an earthy yellow Domain, as if endless sand and dust were spiraling within it.
The Rugged Rock Master, with four arms made of rock, wielded a giant long-handled battle-axe and charged towards the Ice Summit Master.
"You all go into the Main Hall to seize the treasures; leave this place to me."
The Ice Summit Master opened one hand, and a battle sword appeared in his grasp, then he swung the sword to meet the Rugged Rock Master.
Upon hearing this, Ender and the others enveloped themselves with their Domain treasures and rushed towards the Main Hall doors.
…
Central Square.
While the Ice Summit Master and the Rugged Rock Master were fighting, Xi Yun Master remained in place.
"Aren't you going to seize the treasure?"
Xi Yun Master looked at Zhao Li Master, who had not left, feeling a bit strange.
"It's not too late for me to seize the treasure after I defeat you."
Zhao Li Master said indifferently, "Without you, my Northern Territory Alliance has a greater chance of obtaining the treasure."
"Defeat me?"
Xi Yun Master was surprised, but also somewhat cautious.
According to the intelligence from Zhao Li Master's previous actions, his strength was comparable to his own.
But now that he could say such a thing, he seemed confident in defeating him.
Swish!
Zhao Li Master took out a Spirit Weapon, causing Xi Yun Master's expression to change!
"Liu Lan Star Master's Spirit Weapon, 'Yuan Star', you actually have it on you!"
Liu Lan Star Master was the spiritual leader of the Liu Lan Race, the Northern Territory Alliance's largest race, and also a Fifth-tier Universe Master!
Even if Zhao Li Master was a member of the Liu Lan Race, he shouldn't have brought Liu Lan Star Master's treasure to Original Star to seize treasures.
As a Fifth-tier Universe Master, Liu Lan Star Master's Spirit Weapon was a top-grade Pinnacle treasure, with incredibly powerful might.
If Zhao Li Master brought this treasure and perished in the Original Star palace, the loss would be far greater than any treasure obtained!
Boom!
Zhao Li Master made his move, with the top-grade Pinnacle treasure Spirit Weapon 'Yuan Star' in hand, his attack power was terrifying.
The Universe space trembled, and the powerful might made Xi Yun Master dare not underestimate him, immediately unleashing his Strongest Secret Technique to resist.
After one strike, Xi Yun Master's expression was solemn, and his Immortal Energy loss exceeded his expectations.
And from the Immortal Energy loss, it could be inferred that Zhao Li Master had definitely not obtained 'Yuan Star' for a short time!
Clearly, he had already created his Strongest Secret Technique based on 'Yuan Star', and his strength had greatly increased, probably approaching the Fourth-rank Pinnacle!
"Ice Summit Master!"
Xi Yun Master quickly transmitted, "Zhao Li Master's strength exceeds expectations; the time I can buy for you is limited."
"You try your best to hold back Zhao Li Master; don't worry about anything else."
The Ice Summit Master had already gained the upper hand, suppressing the Rugged Rock Master.
However, with the opponent's massive Immortal Energy volume, it wouldn't be easy to defeat them and force them to retreat.
Upon hearing this, Xi Yun Master saw that the Ice Summit Master was not in a hurry at all, seemingly confident of victory, so he focused on dealing with Zhao Li Master.
…
Inside the Main Hall.
Ender and the four other Universe Master had stormed into this spacious Main Hall containing the 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Claw'.
The outside of this silver palace had a maximum diameter of 100,000 kilometers, but this Main Hall alone had a diameter exceeding 10 million kilometers!
Flying at sub-light speed, it would take more than half a minute to reach the end of the Main Hall.
All the Universe Master who entered the Main Hall saw a giant altar at the end of the Main Hall. Four silver claw-like Spirit Weapons, each over ten kilometers long and emitting a faint pressure, were suspended above the massive altar.
"It's the top-tier Arcana treasure 'Apocalyptic Beast Visage Claw'!"
"Go seize the treasure!"
The Universe Master from the Northern Territory Alliance side rushed towards the altar, simultaneously using their Domain or Spirit Weapon attacks to interfere with Ender and the others.
"Void River Master, don't even think about getting through."
You Mo Master of the Demon race, the Coffin Insects Master, and the Zhi Ji Master of the Mechanical Race stepped forward, joining forces to block Ender.
"You all go contend for the treasure first."
Ender transmitted to the An Jue Master and the others, then single-handedly faced the three Universe Master.
The An Jue Master and the other two said nothing more, transforming into streaks of light and flying away, chasing after the first echelon ahead.
"Do you really think you can stop me?"
The Dragon Awakening Spear appeared in Ender's hand, its aura and pressure surged, and he unleashed his strongest talent secret technique, 'Space-Time Annihilation'.
Above the golden long spear, a vortex capable of distorting time and space appeared, containing terrifying power.
"Be careful!"
You Mo Master transmitted a warning, "That is the Strongest Secret Technique created by Void River Master!"
As a Third-rank Pinnacle Universe Master, he was the first to meet the attack, burning Immortal Energy and unleashing his ultimate secret technique to resist.
"Such powerful might!"
After taking one blow, You Mo Master felt the loss of his Immortal Energy and his expression became solemn.
Ender's attack power was unexpectedly strong!
"All of you be careful, Void River Master's attack power is very strong."
You Mo Master transmitted, "If he had a Pinnacle treasure Spirit Weapon, he would probably have Fourth-rank Pinnacle strength!"
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
The Coffin Insects Master and the Zhi Ji Master were shocked.
With a Pinnacle treasure Spirit Weapon, he would be Fourth-rank Pinnacle; without a Pinnacle treasure Spirit Weapon, his attack power was probably still close to a Fourth-rank Universe Master!
As the three Universe Master of the Demon race and Mechanical Race transmitted their messages.
Ender once again swung his spear to attack, the power capable of distorting time and space, directly targeting the Zhi Ji Master.
Seeing such terrifying power approaching, the Zhi Ji Master could only unleash a secret technique to resist; if he didn't block, the Human Void River Master would be able to break through the encirclement.
Boom!
Taking a direct hit, the Zhi Ji Master' expression changed dramatically!
His Immortal Energy was too small, and he was only an ordinary Third-rank Universe Master; this single blow directly caused him to lose nearly one ten-thousandth of his Immortal Energy.
"Terrifying! Truly terrifying!"
The Zhi Ji Master was shocked internally, losing nearly one ten-thousandth of his Immortal Energy in a single blow.
If they were to engage in a head-on battle for one second, at the speed of a Universe Master's combat, his Immortal Energy loss would likely exceed 80%!
"You Mo, Coffin Insects."
The Zhi Ji Master quickly transmitted, "That Human Void River's attack power is immense; my Immortal Energy is too small to engage him head-on."
"Then you assist us."
You Mo Master swung his claw to attack Ender, not expecting the Zhi Ji Master to face him directly.
There was no other way; the Zhi Ji Master' Immortal Energy was less than ten kilometers, and his Third-rank strength relied on his high life gene level.
His overall strength was estimated to be the same as Banff Master who didn't use Soul attacks, belonging to the bottom of the third tier.
After forcing the Zhi Ji Master back, Ender briefly observed the treasure contention situation.
At this moment, the other Universe Master were rushing towards the treasures, each employing various means to interfere with their opponents, intending to allow their own strong individuals to arrive and claim ownership.
Boom!
Ender swung his spear to attack, fending off You Mo Master's attack, and his brow furrowed slightly.
"Zhao Li Master of the Northern Territory Alliance has hidden his strength; his true strength is at least Fourth-rank Pinnacle. Xi Yun Master of the Flying Spirit Alliance won't be able to hold on for too long."
Through his Immortal Energy Avatar, he had received a message from his teacher, the Ice Summit Master.
"It seems I'm not the only one who has hidden my strength…"
Ender fended off the attack, muttering, "Teacher means for me not to hide my strength and to use the Pinnacle treasure Spirit Weapon 'Crimson Radiance'."
The Ice Summit Master knew that Penggong Master had lent him 'Crimson Radiance' and had also inquired about his progress in Law comprehension.
However, when he first obtained 'Crimson Radiance' less than a year ago, his comprehension of the Law was very limited, making it impossible to use in battle.
But now it was different!
After nearly three years of research and comprehension, leveraging the advantage of the Law Diagram Flow, he had comprehended over 90% of the Law on 'Crimson Radiance'.
If it weren't for the Law of Fire within it, he estimated he could have comprehended all the Law, unleashing the full power of 'Crimson Radiance'.
However, with the current level of Law comprehension, he could still unleash most of this Pinnacle treasure's power, with attack power sufficient to rank among the Fourth-rank!
Ender's eyes flashed sharply, "Since the situation no longer allows me to hide, then I will display my strength and seize the treasure!"
In this Main Hall, there were no Fourth-rank strong individuals from the Northern Territory Alliance, and other Third-rank Pinnacle individuals had gone to restrain the Dragon Walk Master.
In this vast Main Hall, the only Third-rank Pinnacle individual from the Northern Territory Alliance was You Mo Master.
As long as he displayed Fourth-rank strength, it would be enough to crush the Universe Master from the Northern Territory Alliance!
Swish!
Ender first swung his spear to force You Mo Master back, then the golden long spear disappeared, transforming into Law that adhered to his skin.
Next, a long staff, entirely crimson in color with golden Law resembling clouds on its surface, appeared in his hand.
"That is!"
You Mo Master's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly transmitted, "Coffin Insects, don't take it head-on!"
His life-saving ability was extremely strong, and as a relatively ancient Universe Master of the Demon race, he naturally recognized the 'Crimson Radiance' in Ender's hand.
That was a Spirit Weapon Penggong Master had once used, and it had some renown among the Demon race, Mechanical Race, and Zerg; at least some older Universe Master knew about it.
Upon receiving the transmission, the Coffin Insects Master quickly retreated, not daring to engage Ender.
Meanwhile, the Zhi Ji Master, not having received the transmission, saw a gap appear in the encirclement and gritted his teeth, stepping forward to block.
Ender burned his Immortal Energy, activated the Law on the Pinnacle treasure 'Crimson Radiance', and unleashed 'Space-Time Annihilation'.
As a Universe Master who had achieved Breakthrough through the Beast God Path, and having long used spear-type Spirit Weapons, he had no hindrance in using the staff-type Spirit Weapon 'Crimson Radiance'.
Boom!
This strike was even more terrifying than before; the time-space distorting vortex seemed capable of swallowing the Zhi Ji Master.
"Not good!"
And the Zhi Ji Master also realized something was wrong; Ender's attack power after changing Spirit Weapons was even more terrifying, even faintly giving him a sense of life-or-death crisis!
It was then that he understood why the Coffin Insects Master would rather have a gap appear in the encirclement than take the hit and actively retreat.
Although he realized something was wrong, it was too late for him to avoid it!
In desperation, the Zhi Ji Master could only use a secret technique to block with his Spirit Weapon, striving to minimize Immortal Energy loss.
The secret technique, which seemed to distort time and space, forming a huge vortex, directly swallowed him.
Boom!
The Zhi Ji Master' face showed fear, and he flew backward, his aura slightly weakened!
In just one strike, he lost over 4% of his Immortal Energy.
This was even with his top-tier treasure armor being of decent quality, and the attack power not exceeding his endurance limit!
"Fourth-rank! This Human Void River Master is definitely a Fourth-rank Universe Master!"
The Zhi Ji Master felt fear, "One strike annihilated 4% of my Immortal Energy; if we fight head-on again, I will surely perish!"
"Escape! I must escape!"
