Chapter 347: Fall

"You, seeking death!" the Mechanical Race Father God was extremely angry, yet dared not actually launch an attack; instead he reopened the black sphere and recalled 10,081 mechanical puppets.

He feared that a single mistake of his would cause the loss of several more mechanical puppets; that would be truly adding insult to injury.

"Dream Demon Ancestor, your Demon Race still lacks two Lords of the Universe from me; how do you intend to proceed?" Xiao Yu barked low, "Will you send them over, or shall I choose personally."

In the middle of speaking.

"Ah!"

"Pain!"

Ten seconds passed; the 22 Lords of the Universe present suddenly, like soap bubbles, had their remaining Divine Bodies abruptly burst, the Divine Bodies dissipated, and the souls likewise vanished as the Divine Bodies did. They turned into the purest Origin power in the cosmos, returning to the place of Origin.

The life marks of those 22 Lords of the Universe also returned to the Origin.

……

In the distant Insect Race territory, inside a massive spherical temple.

Suddenly the Lord of the Locust Cauldron let out a groan, without a roar, and cold sweat broke out over his entire body.

"Lord of the Locust Cauldron, how are you?" the Lord of Burial Sky observed that the Locust Cauldron Lord's aura was only slightly weakened, with no other changes.

"One of my split selves just died. I have another split self that is fine, but its soul is missing some parts, and its strength has waned," the Lord of the Locust Cauldron suddenly became extremely regretful, "Fortunately the Creator Lord's attack could only convey pain; otherwise I might have endured inhuman torment and fallen!"

"That Creator Lord, hasn't he only just become a Lord of the Universe less than ten eras ago? How is he so powerful!" the Lord of Burial Sky wondered.

"Not just powerful! Absolutely perverse! His self‑created secret technique has already reached Sixth Tier peak, and it even has perverse side effects," the Lord of the Locust Cauldron recalled with lingering dread.

Just now he even entertained thoughts of self‑annihilation; if the pain hadn't been so intense, the agony would have stripped him of even his soul‑manipulation ability, otherwise he might have chosen to let his own soul fade into oblivion.

"… I recall that your split self was carrying Top-level Treasure Armor, as well as a Supreme Treasure Weapon, and also a High-level Domain Treasure," the Lord of Burial Sky, who knows the Locust Cauldron Lord intimately— their relationship is excellent, and they often adventure together in the Cosmic Sea.

"I felt that I instantly endured hundreds of attacks, each reaching Sixth Tier peak!" the Lord of the Locust Cauldron recalled, though he wasn't clear on the specifics and could only estimate mentally.

"Instantly launching hundreds of attacks—how is that possible? Even on the Primeval Star, instant teleportation cannot be achieved; how could one instantly emit hundreds of attacks?" the Lord of Burial Sky could hardly imagine; having been a Lord of the Universe for billions of eras, he had never heard of such a technique.

"Hehe, I find it hard to believe as well, but it's true; not only me, all of our Insect Race Alliance who followed the Empress this time also endured such attacks," the Locust Cauldron Lord said.

"Then, is the Empress alright?" the Lord of Burial Sky asked, caring more about the Empress's life and death.

The True God has no split selves, only a single Divine Body; as soon as she falls, the microcosm will decline, and the Insect Race Alliance's strength will also wane.

"Before the split self fell, I glanced and saw the Empress safe and sound," the Locust Cauldron Lord said weakly.

……

In the distant Demon Race and Mechanical Race territories, similar events were also occurring.

Twenty‑two Lords of the Universe fell; among them, sixteen Lords of the Universe who possessed split selves or their true forms immediately felt no pain.

Instantly, they felt an unprecedented lightness.

They even felt their souls as if they had been sublimated.

At the same time, each of them reported this incident to their respective races.

……

Twenty‑two Lords of the Universe fell; among them, six Lords of the Universe without split selves completely fell, while the remaining sixteen Lords of the Universe all need to spend countless precious resources to re‑cultivate split selves or their true forms.

Even after cultivation, costly materials are still required to restore the Divine Body.

In this battle, the Insect Race Alliance truly lost two Lords of the Universe, the Demon Race Alliance lost three, and only the Mechanical Race Alliance was lucky, losing just one Lord of the Universe.

The Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race Alliances this time can be said to have gotten themselves all smelly without even having a chicken to eat.

Truly a case of trying to steal a chicken and ending up losing the rice!

……

Before the Giant Axe Temple on Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.

At the simple long table, the Giant Axe Founder and the nineteen Human Race Lords of the Universe were all present.

The three‑race alliance of Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race's resistance against Creator Lord Xiao Yu has already stirred the Human Race's nerves; all the top‑level super‑strong beings of the Human Race are monitoring the situation in real time.

As Lords of the Universe, even in battle they can still allocate a sliver of consciousness into the Virtual Universe, without affecting their combat power.

"Creator Lord, the Giant Axe just said you have already entered war; how is it now? You can still hold on, right? Master, I am arriving immediately," the Chaos City Lord whispered.

"Not only Chaos, but also me, plus the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Peng Gong, and others from the Human Race together with the Hongmeng Alliance— in total eighteen Lords of the Universe," the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu added.

The Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Peng Gong, the Lord of Desolate Inspection, and others all smiled at Xiao Yu.

"Thank you, Master; thank you, Master Uncles; thank you, Dragon Xing Zhuzhu; thank you, Lord of Peng Gong; thank you all. I'm fine," Xiao Yu said gratefully, "The matter is basically resolved, only some loose ends remain."

"What does that mean?" the Chaos City Lord asked, puzzled.

"How was it solved?" the Giant Axe Founder also asked, puzzled.

"Indeed, earlier the Giant Axe said they were unwilling to retreat. How was it resolved?" the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu asked again.

The other super‑strong beings present were also bewildered; although they believed Xiao Yu possessed the strength of the Strongest of the Universe, they could not fathom how such a deadlock could be resolved so swiftly, all staring at Xiao Yu in confusion.

"The twenty‑two Lords of the Universe who participated in the siege against me have all fallen," Xiao Yu said calmly, his voice low yet startling.

"How is that possible?"

"How long has it been?" the Lord of Desolate Inspection asked in disbelief, wondering how much time had passed.

Since the Giant Axe's thought was driven away, not even a tea‑break's worth of time has passed.

This is solved!

What can be done with such a short time?

Give them this little time, and even one of them killing a top Universe Overlord might not be achievable.

"What I said is true, but I don't know how many of those twenty‑two Lords of the Universe have split‑self abilities, and how many came as their true forms?" Xiao Yu continued.

"You speak truly," the Chaos City Lord, who knows Xiao Yu best, looked at him solemnly, not as if joking, and chose to believe. In any case, they were about to arrive.

"Really, even if I were joking, I wouldn't make a joke of this matter," Xiao Yu continued.

"Ha ha!" the Chaos City Lord suddenly burst into laughter.

Xiao Yu turned his head, puzzled, and looked at the Chaos City Lord; the others also turned to the Chaos City Lord, who had just been solemn, wondering why he suddenly started laughing.

"What are you all looking at me for?" the Chaos City Lord restrained his smile.

"You, just now you were so serious, then suddenly burst into laughter," Lord of Darkness also showed a smile, saying lightly, the evil aura he exuded had faded a bit, "We thought you were under too much pressure and went foolish, huh?"
