Chapter 396

Although one of Xiao Yu's divine avatars had been staying inside the Chaos City Lord's World Ring, his consciousness remained linked to the Virtual Universe, giving him a clear understanding of the battle's progress.

The Lords of the Universe who had entered the Purple Sky Palace all stood at the temple gate and likewise launched attacks with their methods.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Streams of attacks from both sides collided in the dark universe, stirring up huge spacetime turbulence; only scattered attacks hit either side of the three-tribe alliance, while many of the alliance's attacks also landed on the Purple Sky Palace.

However, this Purple Sky Palace is the palace supreme treasure of the Purple Sky Demon God; an attack of this seventh level cannot inflict any harm on him.

Immediately, the Lords of the Universe from the two great camps clashed.

Shortly after, the Mechanical Race's Father God, the Insect Tribe Queen, the Giant Axe Founder, and the Dream Demon Ancestor each flew back in turn.

"Devour!"

As soon as the Insect Tribe Queen's Empress Palace appeared, it began generating a tremendous suction, devouring that large group of Lords of the Universe from the Human Camp, and simultaneously devouring the Purple Sky Palace.

However, the Lords of the Universe of the Human Alliance, including the Chaos City Lord, all burned their divine bodies and easily resisted this suction, yet they dared not be careless.

"Devour!" The Purple Sky Demon God also controlled the Purple Sky Palace's summit to unfold a vast abyssal mouth, generating tremendous suction that devoured the many Lords of the Universe of the three-tribe alliance, and also devoured the Empress Palace itself.

The two Strongest Supreme Treasure palaces were also devouring each other.

Their devouring forces canceled each other out; neither could do anything to the other.

A stalemate formed.

The Lords of the Universe on both sides thus no longer had to worry about the devouring power of the Strongest Supreme Treasure, and they resumed their standoff and clash.

"Kill!"

"Kill this group of demons, machines, and insects!"

"These demons, machines, and insects are always eyeing the territory of our Human Alliance."

Each Lord of the Universe from the Human Camp roared, their divine bodies burning, divine power surging, their hot blood boiling.

……

In the Cosmic Sea, outside the Qingfeng Realm, within a towering iceberg fortress.

Xiao Yu sat on a huge throne, sipping tea, gazing at the two screens before him; one screen showed the scene far out in the Cosmic Sea, where palace after palace supreme treasure was traveling at over ten thousand times the speed of light.

Earlier, Xiao Yu had already laid out some surveillance virtual secret patterns within a radius of a hundred billion light-years; these virtual secret patterns could only transmit nearby images, and they went unnoticed by the powerful.

"The battle in the Primordial Universe has reached a stalemate, and the Divine Eye Clan here in the Cosmic Sea is still rushing onward." Xiao Yu smiled faintly, feeling secretly pleased inside.

The Way of Secret Patterns truly plays a mighty role in battle.

"Moreover, I owe this to my insight into the Way of Chaos Law, especially my research into the Way of Life; otherwise, I could never have used secret patterns to create an invincible water, nor could I have remade the Divine Eye Clan's divine power." Xiao Yu thought to himself.

Previously, his ability to create the vast Void Net trap in the Cosmic Sea stemmed not only from his perfect mastery of the Way of Secret Patterns, but also from having obtained the corpse of the Seventh True Lord earlier, which enabled him to study the life structure of the Divine Eye Clan.

Xiao Yu then turned his gaze to the other screen, which showed only a single palace supreme treasure.

"Look, look! Let you know I'm here, then you'll come!" Xiao Yu laughed, not caring at all that he was being monitored.

……

In the Cosmic Sea, chaotic currents surged, and palace after palace supreme treasure broke through layers of waves, swiftly navigating within the chaotic flow.

Inside one of the Strongest Supreme Treasure palaces, the Divine Eye True Lord sat cross-legged with eyes closed.

Suddenly, a golden light burst from his right index finger as he murmured, "At last, I have expelled the secret pattern from a finger, restoring my divine body."

"The key is how to defend against such a means; otherwise, even if I rid my whole body of secret patterns, if the Creator Lord uses this method again in battle, what then?" the Divine Eye True Lord thought darkly, then felt relieved.

The Divine Eye True Lord, at ease, transmitted mentally: "Everyone, I now possess the method to eliminate that unknown secret pattern in divine power; I will pass it on to you."

"Divine Eye True Lord, you are too great."

"Divine Eye True Lord, you are truly formidable!"

The Lords of the Universe of the Divine Eye Clan all transmitted praises, for they had hitherto had no way at all to deal with the secret pattern in their divine power; some had even researched for a while then given up, anyway it didn't affect combat.

Moreover, there are still five Strongest Beings of the Universe in the clan.

Immediately, the Divine Eye True Lord transmitted the method to break through secret patterns to all the strong ones of the Divine Eye Clan, even those few who had not been affected also received it.

Suddenly, a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure appeared out of thin air, and a voice rang out: "Divine Eye True Lord, most of humanity in the Cosmic Sea has already returned to the Primordial Universe, but the Creator Lord remains in the Qingfeng Realm."

"I don't know whether that Creator Lord harbors a conspiracy, or if it's still a trap," the Azure-Eye True Lord transmitted.

"Azure-Eye, don't be so suspicious; the Hongmeng Alliance Human Camp should still have some Lords of the Universe deep in the Qingfeng Realm, perhaps lacking palace supreme treasures and unable to all return in such a short time; to ensure their safety, humanity must necessarily leave a strong one stationed in the Qingfeng Realm." The Second True Lord transmitted, "And the Creator Lord, besides having decent strength, also possesses the Cold Cliff Fortress, a palace supreme treasure."

"Hah! That Creator Lord is simply overconfident, daring to face us alone!" the Fifth True Lord roared.

"Humanity's situation in the Primordial Universe is also not good; they must face the attack of the Primordial Universe's demon, machine, and insect alliance, and now there is no one usable," the Fourth True Lord sneered.

"One must not be careless; the Creator Lord can fabricate the Void Net, such an unfathomable trap, and he might have other means as well." The Second True Lord solemnly warned, then immediately transmitted: "Divine Eye True Lord, if we encounter the Creator Lord again and he uses that Void Net method once more, what then?"

"By then, you will first use the True God Realm, and we will fight him within the True God Realm; that way he cannot escape." The Divine Eye True Lord had obviously already calculated this.

The Divine Eye Clan, possessors of the Eternal True God, even the Primordial Ancestor had never feared, let alone the Creator Lord.

……

Outside the Qingfeng Realm, there is an area where virtual secret patterns cannot cover; here the chaotic currents have formed a massive vortex.

This vortex possesses tremendous power; any ordinary Lord of the Universe who enters will perish.

Yet the vortex's center is utterly tranquil, like the eye of a typhoon.

Here stands a colossal peak, namely the "Mountain-Seated Peak".

Within the Mountain-Seated Peak, the Mountain-Seated Hermit sat cross-legged, motionless, yet he continually monitored humanity's movements.

"Humanity has this time endured immense pressure from the Primordial Universe and the Divine Eye Clan of the Cosmic Sea; this is both a crisis and an opportunity. Once humanity overcomes this crisis, it will surely become the foremost power in the Cosmic Sea in one fell swoop." (End of chapter)
