Within the spatial interlayer, amidst countless rapidly moving spatial fragments.
Venerable Bu Si held a giant battle axe, surrounded by a faint yellow light, and wore battle armor seemingly woven from countless vines.
Standing amidst the dangerous spatial torrent, he looked down at his friend, with whom he had fought side-by-side, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
"Ge Sha, I told you a long time ago that forces like Muqi Alliance are unreliable."
Venerable Bu Si sighed softly, looking up, "I told you to bring your clan to join the Hong Alliance, but you just wouldn't listen…"
"Now look, not only are you implicated by Muqi Alliance, but I also have to take care of your clan members."
"Such a hassle…"
…
Muqi Alliance territory, a spatial torrent layer of a Universe Secret Realm.
Venerable Juyan wore deep blue battle armor, surrounded by an ice-blue Domain, resisting the impact of the huge spatial fragments around him.
Having Cultivated the Beast God Path, he exuded a fierce and brutal Qi, holding a pair of Ziwu Yue in each hand, which resembled large axes with curved blades, like the sharp claws of a Ferocious beast.
Not far away.
A massive creature, covered in golden scales and with three pairs of black wings on its back, floated within the ice-blue Domain.
Even though this behemoth had lost its life force, it still exuded a powerful pressure.
It was obvious that before its demise, it must have been a Universe Venerable level strong practitioner.
"Ju Yan."
At this moment, an alien Universe Venerable with sharp white spines on his back teleported over.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Venerable Juyan asked, "Chimou, is your side resolved?"
"Resolved."
The alien Universe Venerable, known as Chimou, nodded, glanced at the behemoth not far away, and sighed, "I met Venerable Suì Xuè a few times; he was quite a straightforward Universe Overlord."
"I've heard about him."
Venerable Juyan nodded gently, "If it weren't for the clan war, perhaps he and I would have become friends."
"Currently, among the Golden Wing Race's Universe Venerables, only Venerable Liye is unaccounted for. Does Penggong Master have any instructions?" Chimou Venerable asked.
"Wait a moment…"
After a brief pause, Venerable Juyan nodded slightly, "Teacher ordered us to collect the Golden Wing Race's wealth and treasures, and then distribute them uniformly. You can obtain twenty percent of the Golden Wing Race's wealth and treasures."
"Twenty percent!"
Upon hearing this, Chimou Venerable's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I'll go arrange it right away."
These Hong Alliance members only provided minor assistance in destroying the Golden Wing Race; the true main force consisted of the teams from the Human Race's Huge Axe Dojo and Universe Star River Bank, two major powers.
It was said that besides Penggong Master, the Dominator of Universe Star River Bank, Void Gold Master, the Dominator of Huge Axe Dojo, also descended upon this battlefield.
With two great existences taking action, for them to still receive twenty percent of the spoils of war completely exceeded his expectations!
After Chimou Venerable left, Venerable Juyan collected the behemoth floating in the ice-blue Domain and teleported towards the Original Universe.
…
Muqi Alliance, Fu Xie Race territory.
Ender, Venerable You Mo, and Venerable Ling Tu, after meeting with the three Universe Venerables of the Gold Horn Race, continued to attract Fu Xie Race Universe Venerables.
Because Venerable Ling Yu and Louli Venerable had suffered severe Immortal Energy losses, both exceeding 30%, these two Universe Venerables could no longer act alone.
And whether they acted as a group of five or six, it disrupted Venerable You Mo's plan.
Originally, he had wanted Ender to engage in normal combat with elementary, intermediate, and even Advanced Universe Venerables, in order to determine his combat power level.
But to avoid exposing Ender's strength, he had no choice but to prevent Ender from taking action, instead letting Venerable Ling Tu and others deal with the Fu Xie Race Universe Venerables.
…
Muqi Alliance territory, barren cosmic Void.
Venerable Guiyi, dressed in a fiery red battle robe, barefoot and bald, gazed at the massive spatial rift that was slowly repairing itself.
"Second Senior Brother."
Venerable Golden Axe, nearly nine meters tall, with six arms and six eyes, teleported and appeared behind Venerable Guiyi.
Venerable Guiyi turned around, "What is it?"
Venerable Golden Axe transmitted, "I just received a message from Junior Martial Uncle. Yi Mu Master has fallen. He told us to collect the wealth and treasures of the Yi Mu Race after eliminating their Universe Venerables."
"How will the Hong Alliance's allies be compensated?" Venerable Guiyi asked.
Venerable Golden Axe frowned slightly, "They will receive twenty percent of the Yi Mu Race's spoils of war."
In his opinion, giving two tenths of the spoils to allies who hadn't contributed much seemed a bit excessive.
Because the spoils obtained from killing a Universe Venerable from the opposing faction usually belonged to the killer themselves and would not be included in the total spoils of the opposing clan.
And the most valuable wealth of a clan, apart from its population and territory, consisted of various rare Materials and treasures.
One should not underestimate the wealth of a clan; as long as a clan could exist long-term in the Original Universe, even a weak clan's wealth would be more than that of a single Universe Venerable!
And for a powerful clan like the Yi Mu Race, their wealth was exaggerated, definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary Universe Master!
"In this war against the Muqi Alliance, the Hong Alliance's allies contributed significantly, with numerous Universe Overlords, Top-tier Universe Overlords, and even about ten Universe Masters participating."
Venerable Guiyi transmitted, "There are enough clans contributing, so even if they receive twenty percent of the total spoils, after internal distribution among themselves, the spoils each clan receives won't be much."
Venerable Golden Axe transmitted, "Senior Brother, this twenty percent includes territory!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Guiyi shook his head slightly and transmitted, "Things aren't that simple…"
…
While Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Golden Axe were conversing, there were still a few isolated areas within the Muqi Alliance territory where fierce battles raged.
After more than an hour of conquest and slaughter, Universe Venerables from both the Muqi Alliance and the Hong Alliance fell in this war, including a small number of Human Race Universe Venerables.
All eight Universe Masters, including Mystwing Master and Yi Mu Master, and seven Top-tier Universe Overlords, who were high-level combatants of the Muqi Alliance, were annihilated!
Additionally, dozens of Universe Overlords were also completely wiped out, and among nearly ten thousand Universe Venerables, a few managed to escape because they did not return to their clans.
However, even if they escaped their clans and evaded this war to destroy the Muqi Alliance, they would still face bounties and pursuits from the Hong Alliance in the future!
Because the Human Race's goal was to eliminate all Universe Venerables and above combatants of the entire Muqi Alliance, not just the high-level combatants of Universe Overlord and above.
…
Human Territory, Yanshen Star.
While the entire Flame God Race was busy migrating, Flame Emperor returned to this origin planet of the Flame God Race.
"Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest once spent great effort to transform the Flame God Race. In terms of talent, genes, and bloodline, the Flame God Race is truly a Pinnacle race!"
Flame Emperor, nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, with dense black scales on his nose and body, stood in the Void.
Looking down at the beautiful fiery red planet, his eyes were filled with pride and self-satisfaction, "Once I migrate the Flame God Race to join the Muqi Alliance, I will invite Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest to be the Alliance Leader."
"At that time, the Flame God Race will become the strongest race in the Muqi Alliance, and I will lead the Muqi Alliance as a Pinnacle force!"
Flame Emperor snorted coldly, "Compared to leading a Pinnacle force, staying in the Human Race's Huge Axe Dojo and continuing to be subservient to Void Gold Master is simply a disgrace!" If he were subservient to Huge Axe Creator, the True God in the Huge Axe Dojo, he naturally wouldn't feel so humiliated.
After all, Huge Axe Creator was the True God, and on the same level as the incredibly mysterious Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest.
But what was Void Gold Master?!
In Flame Emperor's view, Void Gold Master merely rose a little earlier than him, and by being a Universe Master for a long time and occupying a high position in the Huge Axe Dojo, he obtained sufficiently good treasures, thus achieving Fourth-rank Pinnacle combat power.
And he had only been a Universe Master for a few million epochs and was already at Third-rank Pinnacle. If he were given more time and treasures to enhance his strength, he could also reach the fourth tier.
"Void Gold Master, Ice Summit Master! You two just wait for me!"
A hint of madness flashed in Flame Emperor's eyes, "Once I become the Muqi Alliance Leader and obtain enough treasures to enhance my strength, it will be your turn… Hmm!"
Suddenly, he realized that the space-time here was not right!
The fiery red Yanshen Star had disappeared, replaced by an endless dark Void, and the space-time here was completely chaotic, making it impossible to perceive the outside starry sky.
"Cao Benqi."
A deeply etched voice echoed in Flame Emperor's mind.
"Sit… Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest!"
Seeing a cyan figure in the sky, combined with the profound voice echoing in his mind, Flame Emperor's pupils constricted.
Sitting Mountain Guest's voice continued, "Cao Benqi, I am very disappointed in you."
Flame Emperor wanted to argue, "Teacher, I…"
"I once told you to impersonate the North Prison Master, and I promised you that as long as you killed ten Universe Masters, I would refine an Arcana treasure for you."
Disappointment emanated from Sitting Mountain Guest's voice, "But you didn't even dare to inherit the identity of the North Prison Master."
"Inherit the identity of the North Prison Master? What a joke!"
Flame Emperor appeared terrified on the surface, but his heart was filled with anger, "If you don't want to refine an Arcana treasure for me, then fine, but you want me to inherit the identity of the North Prison Master? That's a public enemy of the entire Original Universe!!"
The North Prison Master was an extremely evil Universe super existence. He possessed a flying palace-type Arcana treasure called 'North Prison Master,' which also had the function of suppression and Seal.
This Northern Imprisonment Prison roamed the Universe, and once he engaged in battle with an enemy, he loved to trap them in 'North Prison Master.' If they didn't possess the ability of a talent Clone, the only way to escape was to choose self-destruction and perish!
It was precisely because he liked to trap enemies in 'Northern Imprisonment Prison' that the North Prison Master extensively captured Genius strong practitioners in the Original Universe, thus offending all major forces in the entire Original Universe, with all parties wishing to kill the North Prison Master!
Even if he impersonated the North Prison Master and had the 'Northern Imprisonment Prison' flying palace-type Arcana treasure, facing the strong practitioners sent by various forces to hunt him down, he would only be able to flee for his life, with no chance to kill a Universe Master!
"Teacher…"
Flame Emperor attempted to explain.
"Cao Benqi, you want the Flame God Race to separate from the Human Race to join the Muqi Alliance, and then invite me to be the Muqi Alliance Leader, right?" Sitting Mountain Guest asked.
"Yes, Teacher." Flame Emperor dared not conceal anything.
"I have good news for you."
Sitting Mountain Guest's voice was playful, "The Muqi Alliance has just been annihilated by the Human Alliance, and all high-ranking members like Mystwing Master have fallen."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Flame Emperor's expression changed, his pupils contracted sharply, and a bad premonition arose in his heart!
"That's right!"
Sitting Mountain Guest's voice grew cold, "I was the one who spearheaded the destruction of the Muqi Alliance."
"Teacher, I had no intention of scheming against you!!"
Flame Emperor quickly explained, "I just wanted to…"
"I know what you're thinking!"
Sitting Mountain Guest's small stature, yet he seemed like a mountain millions of kilometers high, looking down at Flame Emperor, who was nearly ten thousand kilometers tall.
"You want to become the Dominator of a Pinnacle force, and you want to use the identity of a Pinnacle force's Dominator to obtain better treasures and become stronger."
Sitting Mountain Guest snorted coldly, "Am I wrong?"
"No…"
Flame Emperor lowered his head, feeling immense pressure.
"You disappoint me greatly. You could have obtained a Xeon Arcana treasure by killing ten Universe Masters using the identity of the North Prison Master, but you didn't dare!"
Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head, "Forget it, my young Disciple should be even more outstanding than you."
"Young Disciple…"
Upon hearing this, Flame Emperor immediately thought of the Top-tier pinnacle Arcana treasure, Robbery Armor, on his body, and the Xeon Arcana treasure that had caused endless slaughter on the Extraterritorial Battlefield—Star Tower!
These two treasures, which he coveted immensely, were both protective treasures left by Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest for his Junior Brother.
The Robbery Armor not only had astonishing defensive capabilities but could also derive Soldier Armor, General Armor, and other battle armors to enhance the combat power of the Flame God Race.
As for the Star Tower, it was an extremely rare treasure in the entire Original Universe, and it was a flying palace-type Arcana treasure. Once obtained, one would be invincible throughout the entire Original Universe.
Unwilling to lose the Robbery Armor, Flame Emperor hastily pleaded, "Teacher, please give me another chance."
Sitting Mountain Guest gazed at Flame Emperor for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I'll give you one more chance."
"That's great."
Flame Emperor was first overjoyed, but then he froze.
He saw Sitting Mountain Guest say coldly, "I will temporarily not reclaim the identity of the North Prison Master, but from now on, you are not allowed to tell anyone that I am your Teacher."
"Not allowed to tell anyone, that means I can't act as Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest's Disciple…"
Flame Emperor stood dazed for a moment, "Doesn't that mean I won't be able to become the Dominator of a Pinnacle force anymore…"
"Remember, this is your last chance."
Sitting Mountain Guest coldly reminded him, "If you still cannot satisfy me, then I will reclaim the identity of the North Prison Master, and you will never again be able to obtain a Xeon Arcana treasure from me!"
"Yes, Disciple understands." Flame Emperor nodded quickly.
As his voice fell, the distorted space-time returned to normal, and Sitting Mountain Guest disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the beautiful fiery red planet, Flame Emperor was in a terrible mood, filled with a violent anger that he desperately wanted to vent!
"The Muqi Alliance has been annihilated by the Human Race. Now, where should I take my Race…"
He couldn't vent his negative emotions at the moment, because he still needed to consider where the Flame God Race would go next, and which Top-tier force in the Original Universe they would join.
Having led the Flame God Race to separate from the Human Race, it was impossible for him to join other Pinnacle forces, because that would mean he would still have to be subservient to others.
"Nine Territories Alliance, Thorn Ring Alliance…"
Flame Emperor carefully considered which force he should contact next.
…
As the war against the Muqi Alliance ended, the Human Race Universe Masters held a meeting in the Virtual Universe…
