Chapter 512

In the dark universe corresponding to the mechanical race’s territory.

Originally, the dark universe should have been relatively calm, with only a few starships and extremely few supreme beings using it for travel.

But now, this dark universe could be described as turbulent, with a large number of supreme beings constantly engaged in combat.

These supreme beings were the Universe Lords of the human faction and the three-race alliance, as well as Lu Qing, the Axe Founder, the Dream Demon Ancestor, and other universe-level supreme beings.

Previously, the insect queen, alongside the Demon Ancestor Zhen and the mechanical race’s Father God, had suppressed one of Lu Qing’s avatars; yet Lu Qing immediately sent out another avatar with top-tier sixth-rank power, completely shattering the Dream Demon Ancestor’s plan to overwhelm the human faction with absolute superiority.

In battles among supreme beings, although the Dream Demon Ancestor and the other three three-race supreme beings held slight advantages, Lu Qing, now fully alert and aided by the Axe Founder, could now match them evenly.

Although the Dream Demon Ancestor and the others had continually sought opportunities to suppress Lu Qing again, they could no longer find a suitable opening.

After all, both sides had now entered the dark universe to fight; Lu Qing no longer needed to be limited to sub-light speed as he was in the original universe. Though his instantaneous burst speed still couldn’t surpass the Dream Demon Ancestor and others, the gap was no longer as vast as it had been in the original universe.

“This Lord of Myriad Worlds is far too cunning!”

After the battle had lasted for dozens of minutes, the Dream Demon Ancestor couldn’t help but whisper to Zhen Demon Ancestor, the insect queen, and the mechanical race’s Father God: “Ever since we suppressed one of this Lord of Myriad Worlds’ avatars, he has consistently kept close distance to the Axe Founder!”

“Although our four of us still hold slight advantages, under the Axe’s interference, we can no longer suppress this Lord of Myriad Worlds as we did before!”

“Indeed!”

Upon hearing this, the mechanical race’s Father God quickly replied in a whisper: “Even in the original universe, my power alone could fully restrain two of this Lord of Myriad Worlds’ bodies!”

“But now he’s on guard—he never lets two of his avatars fall into my mechanical puppets’ encirclement at once. I can only be locked in combat with one of his avatars!”

“After all, this Lord of Myriad Worlds himself possesses top-tier sixth-rank power!”

The insect queen, still attempting to suppress Lu Qing with the aid of dozens of Universe Lords, quickly whispered: “With this Lord of Myriad Worlds’ power, even if I attack alongside these dozens of Universe Lords, I still cannot seize an opportunity to suppress him when he’s prepared!”

“In my view, we should unite all our forces and launch a joint assault on the ordinary Universe Lords of the human faction!”

“If we can eliminate even a few ordinary Universe Lords, the human race will find it extremely difficult to continue fighting us!”

“The Queen speaks wisely!”

Upon hearing the insect queen’s words, Zhen Demon Ancestor, who was attacking another of Lu Qing’s avatars, also whispered: “The human faction’s Universe Lords are far fewer than ours. If we concentrate all our strength, we might truly have a chance to eliminate some of their ordinary Universe Lords!”

Although the course of war is usually decided by supreme beings, that doesn’t mean Universe Lords are unimportant in such conflicts.

After all, although supreme beings are immensely powerful, without the support of numerous Universe Lords, sustaining an entire race becomes far more difficult.

Moreover, in large-scale chaotic battles, when many supreme beings unite, the role of Universe Lords becomes even more critical.

After all, a dozen or so Universe Lords united can unleash power equivalent to top-tier sixth-rank!

Thus, after brief communication, the Dream Demon Ancestor, the insect queen, and others quickly joined forces with the remaining dozens of Universe Lords and the seventy-plus three-race alliance Universe Lords still battling the human faction’s Universe Lords.

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

……

After uniting all their forces, the three-race alliance immediately launched another assault against the human faction’s Universe Lords.

At this moment, the three-race alliance had gathered over a hundred Universe Lords and four supreme beings; their combined assault equaled the strength of one hundred and forty supreme beings, with their combined power even surpassing eighth-rank and nearing ninth-rank!

Remember, even the strongest being in the universe sea—the Eye God Clan’s First True Lord—could only unleash ninth-rank top-tier power by relying on a supreme treasure.

Boom!

A torrent of terrifying attacks converged, then surged forward with overwhelming force toward the human faction’s Universe Lords.

On the other side…

Seeing the actions of the Dream Demon Ancestor and others, Lu Qing’s three avatars and the Axe Founder quickly joined forces with the human faction’s numerous Universe Lords.

Although Lu Qing remained at the Universe Lord realm, he could unleash top-tier sixth-rank power; even one avatar could match a dozen or so Universe Lords. Combined with the Axe Founder and the human faction’s seventy-plus Universe Lord bodies, the human faction’s united strength equaled over one hundred and ten Universe Lord bodies.

Though this number was still slightly smaller than the three-race alliance’s, it could still unleash attacks approaching ninth-rank, matching the three-race alliance closely—only slightly disadvantaged in combat.

Thus, the human faction and the three-race alliance clashed once again!

This battle was undoubtedly very dull.

Usually, the demon race’s supreme beings attacked in unison, while the human faction’s supreme beings tended to unite in defense.

Throughout the continuous fighting, both sides’ supreme beings were steadily depleting their divine energy.

Supreme beings like the Axe Founder and the Dream Demon Ancestor had no fear of such depletion—they could reach top-tier sixth-rank power without burning divine energy at all;

Lu Qing possessed the vast reservoir of his Infinite Divine Sea avatars, so he too was unconcerned with depletion.

But the other Universe Lords on both sides were entirely different.

In the process of continuously burning divine energy in combat, every single Universe Lord’s divine energy was being steadily drained.

After more than half a day of fighting, some Universe Lords with smaller bodies had already lost over thirty percent of their divine energy.

Although divine energy loss affected Universe Lords far less than it did Universe Sovereigns or even Immortal Spirits, a thirty percent loss was still terrifying for Universe Lords.

Without a suitable primordial treasure to assist, a Universe Lord would need tens of millions—or even hundreds of millions—of eons to restore thirty percent of their divine energy solely by absorbing cosmic energy!

As more and more Universe Lords lost their divine energy, none wished to continue fighting this way.

The insect queen, still leading her Universe Lords in assault against the human faction, whispered to Zhen Demon Ancestor and the other supreme beings: “We’ve attacked for so long and still haven’t eliminated a single human faction Universe Lord!”

“The main reason is that the human race has recruited many alien Universe Lords!”

Upon hearing the insect queen’s whisper, the Dream Demon Ancestor coldly replied: “Our three-race alliance consists almost entirely of our own races and their allied Universe Lords!”

“If the human faction had only those Hong Alliance Universe Lords, our three alliances combined would have held a massive advantage!”

“But now, many non-Hong Alliance Universe Lords have joined the human faction—like Qing Sang Lord and Hao Shan Lord of the Three Mountains Alliance—causing their number of Universe Lords to surge, allowing them to fully block our attacks!”

“Isn’t that because your demon race was crushed too quickly by the human race?”

Nearby, the mechanical race’s Father God couldn’t help but whisper sharply: “If your demon race had held out against the human race, we wouldn’t have failed to recruit a single new alien Universe Lord!”

“How laughable!”

Hearing the mechanical race’s Father God’s mockery, the Dream Demon Ancestor coldly whispered: “Do you think your mechanical race is any better?”

“We already warned you of this Lord of Myriad Worlds’ power—yet your mechanical race still got pushed into your core territory by the human race! Had my demon race and the insect race not arrived in time to support you, wouldn’t your mechanical race have lost many Universe Lords already?”

“You…”

The mechanical race’s Father God replied coldly again: “If my mechanical race hadn’t agreed to act with your demon race, how could the human race have ambushed us?”

The quarrel between the Dream Demon Ancestor and the mechanical race’s Father God was perfectly natural.

After all, the demon race and the mechanical race had accumulated endless hatred over countless eons; their alliance before was only due to the immense threat posed by the human race.

Had they been able to crush the human race swiftly, none of this would have mattered;

But now, the three-race alliance and the human faction are locked in stalemate, and the chance to defeat the human race has become extremely slim—so their internal conflicts inevitably erupted.

“Enough!”
