Chapter 398

As Xiao Yu reappeared beside the Great Axe Founder, time returned to normal.

Then, among the three‑race allied forces, 102 Lords of the Universe were each enveloped in endless black radiance, within which the blackness resembled a world of blade‑light, each blade‑light containing endless power.

"Not good!" the Insect Tribe Queen whispered, hurriedly sealing the Queen's Palace, but it was already too late.

"Ah!"

"What happened?"

"I don't want to die yet."

The weaker Lords of the Universe fell instantly, and even the stronger Lords of the Universe only struggled for a moment before being annihilated by the endless blade‑light.

All 102 three‑race Lords of the Universe had their armor shattered and their Divine Bodies erased.

"Human!" the Insect Tribe Queen roared repeatedly.

"Xiao Yu, I will not let you go!" the Mechanical Race Father God roared, his heart bleeding; this time, although the Mechanical Race did not launch a full‑scale assault, it was almost the same.

"Human! No death, no rest!" the Dream Demon Race roared, looking as if gone mad.

"Dream Tea, we have already been defeated!" the Dream Demon Ancestor transmitted, "Now the more urgent task is to rescue those Lords of the Universe who have avatars."

In an instant, the four Strongest of the Universe from the three‑race allied forces all surged toward the countless World Rings floating in the void.

Xiao Yu didn't seem to mind; he just watched their actions.

But the Lords of the Universe on the Human Camp were all stunned.

"Creator Lord, what technique is this? It's unbelievably powerful," the Lord of Peng Gong appeared beside Xiao Yu, his eyes blazing.

Not only the Lord of Peng Gong, but all the Lords of the Universe within the Human Alliance stared at Xiao Yu with intense fervor.

"Ha ha, Peng Gong, do you think I would tell you? This is exclusive top‑secret!" Xiao Yu smiled, his meaning clear.

"Being able to slay a hundred Lords of the Universe in one go, that's definitely an anti‑AoE!" the Lord of Darkness sighed.

"Xiao Yu, isn't this body of yours a Divine Avatar? How can it exert such power?"

"Even a Divine Avatar can wield such power!"

"Speaking of which, doesn't the Creator Lord also have a Divine Avatar at the Divine Power Base? It can't be that strong either, right?"

"Speaking of which, if the Creator Lord weren't here in this battle, the Human Alliance wouldn't know how many Lords of the Universe would have fallen."

"Anyway, I'm tough enough to survive, and the Lord of Silent Marquis is also tough enough!"

"I am also a third‑tier Lord of the Universe, probably tough enough as well."

"So, the reason we survived is all thanks to the Creator Lord's timely intervention."

"Creator Lord is definitely our savior."

"In other words, the greatest credit for our victory in this battle belongs to the Creator Lord."

"It is the Creator Lord."

The Lords of the Universe on the Human side suddenly relaxed immensely; they chatted endlessly, even internally deciding who deserved the greatest credit for this battle.

"How about it?" the Chaos City Lord materialized beside Xiao Yu and asked, "Such an attack must consume a lot, right?"

The Great Axe Founder also looked at Xiao Yu, curious; earlier in the Cosmic Sea, Xiao Yu had not used this technique, otherwise the Sixth True Lord could not have escaped.

Thinking of this, the Great Axe Founder asked, "What about the Sixth True Lord?"

"Ha ha, Master, can such an attack's cost be small? Each strike consumes dozens of times the normal amount," Xiao Yu said with a wry smile. "Fortunately I have a Divine Body split as massive as the World Tree; otherwise even a Divine Body spanning millions of kilometers wouldn't suffice."

Immediately Xiao Yu looked back at the Great Axe and laughed, "That's right, I deliberately left him to deliver a message, but I didn't intend it, and it backfired; the Divine Eye Clan turned out to be so unyielding, they launched an extermination war, and I never expected the Insect Race, Demon Race, and Mechanical Race to take the opportunity to intervene as well."

"You! Is it that you didn't think of it, or that you don't care?" the Chaos City Lord chuckled lightly.

"Indeed, with your intelligence you couldn't have missed it. But even if you did, given your current strength you probably wouldn't care!" the Great Axe Founder laughed.

"Exactly. According to this kid's estimate, he needs to drag all forces of the universe into the mix before he acts," the Chaos City Lord suddenly sold Xiao Yu out.

"Master, this wasn't just my idea; you old one also plotted," Xiao Yu said with a smile, then looked at the Great Axe Founder, "Great Axe, think about it, I've only lived so long, how could there be so many conspiracies?"

"Don't forget, you have lived in my miniature universe for fifty thousand eras," the Great Axe laughed brightly.

……

Unlike the Human side's relaxed ease, the Dream Demon Race, the Mechanical Race Father God, and the Insect Tribe Queen wore bitter expressions.

"This time, more than half of our strong ones have fallen!" the Dream Demon Ancestor felt a hint of regret; this loss is a severe blow to their Demon Alliance, requiring endless eras to recover.

"Our Insect Alliance also suffers," the Insect Tribe Queen said; this time the Insect Alliance's losses are severe, but fortunately the Insect Race's own Lords of the Universe didn't lose much.

"Our Mechanical Race fared even worse; even half of our own Lords of the Universe were lost," the Mechanical Race Father God lamented.

This time, among the three races, 63 Lords of the Universe truly fell, while the remaining 39 all have avatars placed inside World Rings.

"From now on, as long as the Great Axe and the Creator Lord don't both fall, we won't bother thinking about it," the Dream Demon Ancestor said, "Even if the Cosmic Sea sees it, we can just avoid it!"

"Indeed! The Human Race must not be provoked," the Insect Tribe Queen recalled the recent two operations; not only did they cause no harm to the Humans, but the Insect Race suffered heavy casualties.

"The Creator Lord's strength comes not only from his bizarre, powerful technique but also from his massive avatar; otherwise such consumption wouldn't be possible," the Dream Demon Ancestor said.

"So, once he ascends to become the Strongest of the Universe, perhaps he won't be this hard to deal with," the Mechanical Race Father God felt a flicker of joy, though honestly he was very unwilling.

Upon becoming the Strongest, everything must rely on oneself. All avatars, all innate secret methods disappear, unless one's own body is already immensely large.

"Everyone, stop discussing Xiao Yu; the battle has fallen to this point, what shall we do?" the Dream Demon Ancestor asked.

"Indeed, what shall we do?" the Insect Tribe Queen worried.

"What can we do? In this battle we lost 107 Lords of the Universe, and eight are imprisoned by the Purple Sky. The Creator Lord cannot be dealt with merely by numbers. We barely have any chance of a protracted war against the Humans," the Mechanical Race Father God said, angry yet forced to admit, "We have already lost this battle."

"Human rise is unstoppable. The grudges formed this time will surely become excuses for humans to attack our races once they grow strong. Moreover, the crises we face ahead will not only come from the Human Race; the Crystal Tribe and the Prison Tribe have long been displeased with us," the Insect Tribe Queen said, her voice seductive.
