Chapter 197: Sword Tomb Melee

Number 04371 Original Star, the third Universe Master descended, and his aura instantly eclipsed the Yan Feng Lord and the Gu Hun Lord who had arrived earlier!

He was a black‑haired man clad in dark‑gold battle armor, the armor bearing intricately woven secret‑patterned filaments.

Although his physique was that of an ordinary human, his aura was by no means inferior to the overwhelming pressure exuded by the other two Universe Masters.

"Another Universe Master has arrived!"

"It's the Human Race Reincarnation Master!"

"He's already the third; this time a Supreme Treasure is being born, and so many strong ones have rushed over at once."

On this Original Star, the Universe Venerables who had already hidden at a distance watched this scene with excitement.

Although they lacked the nerve to snatch food from the mouths of these Universe Masters, it didn't stop them from enjoying the spectacle.

After all, in the Original Universe, battles at the level of Universe Masters are exceedingly rare!

"Lord of Reincarnation!"

The Yan Feng Lord and the Gu Hun Lord were also slightly startled.

The Human Race Reincarnation Master has recently become very famous; even the Demon Race RedBronze Lord is kept down by him, and it is said he possesses at least the strength of a Peak Third-tier Universe Lord, making him extremely dangerous to provoke.

Moreover, as soon as he arrived, he single‑handedly shattered their Space-time Control, further proving that his might was no rumor! The Yan Feng Lord barely entered the third tier, while the Gu Hun Lord was only a second‑tier top combatant, so Zhou Yang naturally felt some apprehension.

"Ha ha, both of you, I'll go ahead first!"

Zhou Yang glanced at the spot where the Supreme Treasure was emerging and saw that the massive tomb‑shaped Sword Tomb was still rising slowly, not yet fully manifested, so he didn't rush to reveal his Teleportation and calmly flew toward that direction.

At the same time, the unrivaled New Universe Space-Time Power surged forth, seizing the entire Original Star's space‑time under its control, continuously pressuring and slowing the speed of the other two Universe Masters.

"What a powerful Space-time Control!"

The Yan Feng Lord and the Gu Hun Lord both couldn't help but wear grave expressions.

"Combine forces to affect him; we must not let him enter the Sword Tomb first!"

The two Universe Masters, belonging to different factions, were remarkably in sync at this moment.

"Boom~~~"

"Wah‑la‑la~~~"

A Golden Sand Sea and a Black Long River materialized simultaneously, then kept expanding, each reaching a diameter of ninety million kilometers.

Both Universe Masters simultaneously deployed their respective Domain Supreme Treasures!

The Golden Sand Sea and the Black Long River are both high‑tier Domain Supreme Treasures, standard for second‑tier and ordinary third‑tier Universe Masters; in this regard, Zhou Yang was somewhat lagging behind.

The two Universe Masters strained to control their respective Domain Supreme Treasures, the Golden Sand Sea roared in waves, and the Black Long River surged turbulently.

Because of the great distance, they could not yet affect Zhou Yang, but it was enough to counteract his Space-time Suppression.

"Go!"

The Yan Feng Lord and the Gu Hun Lord's speed kept soaring as they raced swiftly toward the Supreme Treasure's emergence point!

"A high‑level Domain Supreme Treasure has an enormous impact on combat."

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Nevertheless, he made no further moves; among the three Universe Masters, he was closest to the Sword Tomb's emergence, and since the Original Star cannot use Teleportation, its maximum speed is Sub‑light, giving him an absolute advantage.

But he couldn't help his curiosity.

"In the original work, wasn't this Sword River Luo obtained by a Universe Master of the Cihuan Alliance? Why hasn't it appeared yet?"

Just as he was thinking that, another massive pressure descended upon the Original Star! "Hmm? What a powerful Space-time Control!"

A slightly surprised voice rang out, followed by an abrupt eruption of endless golden light from the direction of the voice, instantly sweeping across the entire Original Star!

"Bzz~" A pressure and binding force of extreme magnitude erupted with a roar, making the space of the Original Star instantly thick and heavy.

Even Zhou Yang, whose body is protected by New Universe Space-Time Power, was momentarily halted, his speed inevitably slowing.

"Top‑tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure!"

He looked into the distance.

Through the endless hazy golden light, a towering silhouette could be vaguely seen rushing toward him.

It was a humanoid being towering tens of thousands of kilometers, its body covered with golden‑spike hair, carrying a massive dark‑golden staff on its back, the staff etched with elegant filaments like a giant dragon coiled upon it! "Panpan Dragon Staff, it's the Cihuan Alliance Tian Chen Zhi Zhu!"

Zhou Yang glanced at it and instantly identified the newcomer's identity.

The Original Universe has nine great super forces: the six peak racial camps—Human Race, Demon Race, Insect Race, Mechanical Race, Crystal Race, Prison Race—and the three alliance forces—Ancestor God Sect, Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance, Northern Frontier Alliance.

These nine forces not only possess numerous Universe Masters, but each also has at least one Strongest One‑ranked powerhouse stationed, making them the top‑tier forces of the Original Universe.

However, beneath these nine top forces there are secondary powers that also have multiple Universe Masters, but lack a Strongest One stationed.

The Cihuan Alliance is one such.

The Cihuan Alliance is a loose coalition of several groups each having only one or two Universe Masters; although the number of Universe Masters is high, most have limited strength.

Nevertheless, within such a vast alliance there are always one or two top‑tier elites capable of bearing the main burden.

The Tian Chen Zhi Zhu is one of them.

The Tian Chen Zhi Zhu, according to the Universe Sea's classification of Universe Master strength, has entered the fourth‑tier 'Peak Universe Master' ranks, with power comparable to the Human Dragon Walk Lord and the Bingfeng Lord.

A fourth‑tier Peak Universe Master's strength, combined with a Top‑tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure, yields absolutely formidable combat power.

"It seems that in the original work, this is the one who ultimately claimed the Sword River Luo."

Zhou Yang thought to himself.

"Ha ha, Gu Hun Lord, Yan Feng Lord, and the Human Race Reincarnation Master, pleasure to meet you!"

At that moment the Tian Chen Zhi Zhu also laughed as he spoke, "You all hail from peak forces, with great families and enterprises; you likely have little need for this Top‑tier Supreme Treasure. Could you transfer it to my Cihuan Alliance? Consider it a favor I owe you."

The Tian Chen Zhi Zhu held the advantage on the field, his tone surprisingly relaxed.

"Tian Chen Zhi Zhu, don't you already possess a Top‑tier Domain Supreme Treasure? Why come to contest us again!"

The Gu Hun Lord, hailing from the Mechanical Race, spoke.

"The Gu Hun Lord mentions this 'Melted Gold Pot'? To be frank, I borrowed it from the Xing Guang Zhi Zhu before departing; there's nothing we can do, our Cihuan Alliance is simply too poor."

Tian Chen Zhi Zhu laughed as if self-mocking.

If one says the Gu Hun Zhi Zhu's speech is still polite, then that Yan Feng Zhi Zhu is different.

Yan Feng Zhi Zhu hails from the Northern Frontier Alliance; the strong ones of the Northern Frontier Alliance have a quirky temper, for they are formed by many powerful clans united, and among them none is a peak clan.

Before they united, they naturally had to bow their heads; after uniting, they also invited a lone Universe Strongest to take charge……then it was different; they used to always bow their heads, but after establishing the Northern Frontier Alliance, they never bow their heads!

They would rather die in battle than easily bow their heads! Once a treasure appears, the Northern Frontier Alliance swarms with many strong ones like madmen—this is the Northern Frontier Alliance! A somewhat crazy alliance, famed for its many strong ones.

"Hmph, Tian Chen Zhi Zhu, your face isn't worth a Top-level Domain Treasure!"

Yan Feng Zhi Zhu directly spoke sarcastically.

Zhou Yang couldn't help but glance at this Yan Feng Zhi Zhu; unexpectedly, this person is so staunch, facing a Top-tier Universe Lord also without fear.

He also laughed and opened his mouth: "Hehe, Tian Chen Zhi Zhu, my cultivation years are short, and I also lack a Top-level Domain Treasure for self-defense; let's each rely on our abilities!"
