Chapter 2370: Greed
Divine Sense flicked forward—what was the origin of that matter vortex? Nobody could tell.
"Is it danger or opportunity?" the powerhouses felt doubtful.
"Let's gamble!"
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant, being the closest living being to that vortex, charged forward without hesitation.
Xiao Feng frowned slightly, feeling that this move was a bit rash.
However, most of these powerhouses were beings stuck in a realm for a long time, urgently needing a danger or opportunity to break through their shackles.
Even knowing there was danger, they would still go up to temper themselves.
Several Controllers also teleported nearby; after thinking, he followed as well.
Boom—
Xing Kong trembled slightly.
Those rocky planets, meteoroids, and interstellar dust gradually gathered into a matter vortex tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter.
Within the matter vortex, intense cosmic energy fluctuations emanated.
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant lunged forward, laughing loudly: "Such pure cosmic energy must mean a treasure is born—this is my first opportunity on this journey!"
Then everyone saw a huge blood-colored light shine down, like a light shield enveloping the matter vortex.
Ga—
That several‑thousand‑kilometer‑wide rotating matter was abruptly halted just like that.
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant flashed forward, and with one impact smashed that mass of matter apart, flying out the other side.
Boom—
The planet shattered, the mass of matter splitting apart in a huge explosion.
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant leapt far away; Xiao Feng and the others clearly saw it holding a bluish‑glowing thing in its mouth, emitting a strange fluctuation.
"It's an innate treasure!"
"It can gather cosmic matter—surely it's an extremely precious treasure!"
"That aura is a star‑system primordial embryo; devouring enough energy"
"Later it can form a star system! In its embryonic stage it's easiest to refine; it can be made into a physical‑type supreme treasure. After swallowing enough matter, one smash creates a Controller!"
A well‑traveled powerhouse recognized the treasure's origin.
"What a great thing!"
"Wasted on the Bloodthirsty Tyrant!"
"This should belong to me!"
In just a few moments, many powerhouses turned their divine sense over, thinking of many things.
Xiao Feng stared in shock to see many powerhouses rapidly chase after the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, trying to seize the newly born treasure.
"Bloodthirsty Tyrant, hand over the treasure and I'll spare your life!"
A Heavenly God Clan powerhouse unleashed a divine‑sense threat, his aura reaching the peak of stellar level.
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant's strength was inferior to his, yet he felt no fear, laughing: "Whoever seizes the opportunity gets it; you yourselves hesitated and didn't dare step forward—I took it, so accept your fate."
"No, you're wrong! Opportunity belongs to the strong; if you lack strength, even if you obtain it you won't have the life to enjoy it!"
The Heavenly God Clan powerhouse coldly shouted with divine sense, instantly teleported a super‑long distance to appear before the Bloodthirsty Tyrant, then opened a huge mouth, turning into a sky‑covering devouring pouch to swallow the Bloodthirsty Tyrant.
"Star‑Swallowing Divine Lord, you're truly shameless!"
Seeing this, the Bloodthirsty Tyrant cursed in anger, his body swelling to several thousand kilometers, and without using any secret technique he slammed his physical body forward.
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant's physical body was extremely strong; even though the Star‑Swallowing Divine Lord was slightly stronger, he could not truly swallow him in one bite.
They collided; the huge mouth tore and bit, leaving the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body bloody, but at the same time his ferocious dragon‑like body rammed open a massive hole in the opponent, inflicting serious injury.
"Star‑Swallowing Divine Lord, I'll help you!"
Seeing that the Star‑Swallowing Divine Lord couldn't subdue the Bloodthirsty Tyrant for a moment, two more stellar‑level powerhouses came forward to help, surrounding the Bloodthirsty Tyrant.
"Hmph, just you guys?"
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant gave a cold laugh; his colossal battle‑body several thousand kilometers long swept its tail sideways, as if tearing apart space, its terrifying force enough to whip a star into fragments.
The Star‑Swallowing Divine Lord was forced to retreat, and at the same time two other major powerhouses arrived.
Boom boom—
Two tremendous forces struck the Bloodthirsty Tyrant's body, instantly inflicting heavy damage—as if hit head‑on by the explosions of two stars.
"Bloodthirsty Tyrant, be sensible and hand over the treasure, and we'll let you go," threatened an Insect‑Race powerhouse.
"Hahaha, Golden Blade Lord, you want it? Then I'll give it to you!"
The Bloodthirsty Tyrant was by nature an utterly mad powerhouse who, in battle, cares nothing for life or death; after laughing, he unleashed his full strength, hurling the blue mass in his mouth toward the Golden Blade Lord.
The Golden Blade Lord first felt delight, then quickly realized something was wrong.
"Dodge quickly!"
His companion reminded him.
The Golden Blade Lord wanted to teleport to dodge, but in a Controller battle the first thing is to seal the surrounding space with divine sense, preventing teleportation, so his escape attempt naturally failed.
"Oh no!"
Even physical dodge speed was too slow; the blue mass flashed in, and before he could flee it had already arrived nearby.
Bang—
The blue mass pierced the Golden Blade Lord's mantis‑like body.
With a loud boom, the Golden Blade Lord's physical body shattered, turning into an energy storm that spread outward, instantly leaving only a few scraps.
"Exterminate!" indulge
The bloodthirsty tyrant seized the opportunity, quickly found the shattered Li Ti cells of the Golden Blade Master, and devoured them all.
Divine Sense eroded it, and in a short while the Golden Blade Master's origin life core was completely worn away, killing him beyond any possibility of revival.
"This, this..."
All the overlords around, whether they participated in the battle or not, were shocked.
Although the Golden Blade Master was somewhat weaker than the bloodthirsty tyrant, he was still a star-level cultivator.
Even in a three-on-one situation, he was instantly slain by the bloodthirsty tyrant—how terrifying!
"That blue treasure can actually destroy a strong cultivator's Li Ti in an instant, leaving less than 1% of its origin!"
Everyone realized that it was the treasure that was too powerful, not the bloodthirsty tyrant himself.
"Seize it quickly!"
This time, more cultivators felt tempted and joined the ranks of those seizing it.
Xiao Feng, in the distance, couldn't help but frown.
Merely the first treasure encountered upon arriving in the new universe has provoked such a scramble.
It seems that sharing the same universe of birth does not affect everyone's fighting.
To be precise, these cultivators themselves could be enemies, having come from different civilizations and different cosmic nations even in the main universe.
Changing universes naturally cannot make the opposing relationship disappear; what should be contested still must be contested.
Perhaps only sharing the same clan and the same cosmic nation makes things somewhat reliable.
But…… human hearts are greedy.
Even if not human, he is still greedy.
Faced with the temptation of the treasure, even those from the same Planet could possibly stab each other in the back.
Xiao Feng did not participate in this scramble and teleported away.
The number of cultivators drawn into the battle kept increasing, and by the time he could no longer sense the fighting in that area, more than twenty overlords had already joined the scramble, and were wounded and died.
The number of deaths is also increasing.
After Xiao Feng had left for more than ten light-years, news reached the overlord plane that the battle had finally ended, and the last blue treasure was seized by an eternal-level cultivator of the giant beast clan known as the Feather Light Master.
The bloodthirsty tyrant, the Star-devouring Divine Lord, and other cultivators all perished, dying in the new universe!
Only then did Xiao Feng understand why the Lord of the Universe said the first ten years were the most dangerous.
Not to mention ten years—when he first arrived, even the first day was extremely dangerous!
To survive here, one must not only have the ability to counteract the turbulent flow of the new universe's laws, but also have means to deal with cultivators from other worlds.
And what is most terrifying is still the greed in the hearts of fellow cultivators from the same hometown universe!
