Boya also heard the conversation below and couldn't help but look at her teacher, then saw that slight smile.
"It seems Junior Uncle's performance has greatly pleased the teacher."
She thought to herself, "That's right. For a team with uneven strength to seize the Hundred Birds Valley token from dozens of Universe Venerables, the result is quite good."
Subsequently, she continued to look down and heard several Hongmeng Palace Masters hidden in the Chaotic airflow conversing in low voices.
"Five High-level Venerables seized the Hundred Birds Valley token?"
"Venerable Bloodwing has an ordinary Domain-type Heavy Treasure, and Venerable Radiance has a Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure. They probably have a Domain-type Heavy Treasure for protection, but it's still impossible to seize the token."
"It is indeed a bit strange…"
"To be able to seize a treasure from numerous Universe Venerables, it must have been done by suppressing them with an extremely powerful Domain-type Arcana Treasure."
"Suppressing dozens of High-level Venerables… that would require a High-level Domain-type Arcana Treasure!"
"Are you saying… Void River Master bestowed a High-level Domain-type Arcana Treasure upon Venerable Radiance? Of the same Rank as our Domain-type Arcana Treasures?!"
"Most likely so, otherwise how could they have seized the Hundred Birds Valley token."
"Given Void River Master's strength and status, bestowing a High-level Domain-type Arcana Treasure upon Venerable Radiance, no one within humanity would likely dare to say anything."
The five alien Hongmeng Palace Masters conversed in low voices, with a hint of emotion and melancholy in their words.
They were all Universe Masters, and the treasure configuration on them was merely at the High-level Domain-type Arcana Treasure Rank.
But a High-level Venerable who had only recently achieved a Breakthrough was equipped with a Heavy Treasure of the same Rank as theirs, how could that not make them emotional?
Boya listened to the words of the five alien Hongmeng Palace Masters below and didn't pay too much attention.
The Human Race, as a Pinnacle race, received far better treatment than the various races within the Hong Alliance. Powerhouses from other races often expressed their emotions, and she was already used to it.
…
At the very bottom.
Upon hearing the news of Nineteen and others seizing the Hundred Birds Valley token, the Powerhouses seated on their thrones fell into a brief silence.
That Nineteen and others could seize the Hundred Birds Valley token truly exceeded their expectations!
One must know that among Nineteen and others' team, only four truly possessed combat power. Venerable Aurora, in the eyes of others, was just there to make up the numbers. It would be good if she could even protect herself, and she would likely trouble others for rescue.
Yet, such a team managed to seize the highly coveted Hundred Birds Valley token amidst the competition of dozens of High-level Venerables from various forces.
This caused many Venerables present to feel puzzled. How exactly did Venerable Radiance and the others manage it?
Seizing the token would inevitably incur a joint attack from dozens of High-level Venerables, which even an ordinary Universe Overlord would find difficult to withstand.
It would probably take a Top-tier Universe Overlord like Venerable Kuiye to ignore the combined efforts of dozens of High-level Venerables and forcibly seize the token.
Silence, the scene fell into a brief silence.
"Northern Territory Alliance's Flourishing Light Horde Leader has broken through the Seal and has already descended upon 775th Original Star…"
Suddenly, the voice of a Hong Alliance High-level Venerable broke the silence.
"The team of Venerable Radiance and Venerable Bloodwing has successfully seized the Hundred Birds Valley token."
From a majestic throne within the Chaotic airflow, Phantom Blood Master's hoarse voice sounded, "The current combat objective is primarily to rendezvous with Venerable Radiance and the others. Any Universe Overlord who can arrive within one minute, immediately go to support!"
"Yes."
All the Universe Venerables responded respectfully upon hearing this, then continued to exchange information.
…
775th Original Star.
A palace was flying at sub-light speed, with a massive stream of light following behind it.
"Tsk, this Venerable Hanshan really won't give up."
Venerable Night Bright, controlling the Flying Palace Heavy Treasure, saw Venerable Hanshan in hot pursuit and couldn't help but sneer, "He wouldn't think he can catch up to my Flying Palace Heavy Treasure, would he?"
"Even if he catches up, so what? This Flying Palace Heavy Treasure of mine is a top-grade among top-tier Heavy Treasures. How could a Universe Overlord break it!"
"No, he's just responsible for tracking."
Venerable Bloodwing calmly stated, "It's estimated that a Universe Master from the Northern Territory Alliance is on their way. A Universe Master's descent can easily suppress a top-tier Flying Palace-type Heavy Treasure."
"Universe Master…"
Venerable Aurora and Venerable Night Bright both felt immense pressure upon hearing this.
A Universe Master can control a region of space-time. As long as they descend, they can control an Original Star. Only Powerhouses at the Universe Overlord Rank have the possibility of breaking free from the suppression of controlled space-time.
"In a moment, we'll switch to my Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure, Light Shadow Palace."
Nineteen then spoke, "As long as we hide inside Light Shadow Palace, even if a Universe Master descends, it will be difficult for them to pose a threat to us."
Venerable Bloodwing and the others all nodded upon hearing this.
They all knew that Nineteen possessed a Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure, but what they didn't know was…
Light Shadow Palace was a superb High-level Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure!
A Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure of this Rank, without a top-tier or higher Seal-type Arcana Treasure, there were very, very few Powerhouses in the entire Original Universe who could threaten 'Light Shadow Palace'!
"Prepare to switch."
Nineteen took out a palace that was black like a shadow but emitted a soft white light. "Night Bright, let us out."
Swish!
Venerable Night Bright immediately released everyone, including himself, and then they were taken into 'Light Shadow Palace'.
One release, one intake, all in an instant.
But the previous sub-light speed flight had now come to a standstill.
"Hmm?"
Venerable Hanshan, who was in hot pursuit at sub-light speed, saw this and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "To actually dare to switch Flying Palace-type treasures, this is giving the Northern Territory Alliance an opportunity!"
Whoosh!
Venerable Hanshan rapidly approached 'Light Shadow Palace', then opened his large, toothy maw, intending to swallow the still-unaccelerated 'Light Shadow Palace' in one gulp, to restrict its movement.
"You want to swallow my Light Shadow Palace? Daydreaming!"
Nineteen snorted coldly, directly causing 'Light Shadow Palace' to rapidly expand.
Just as Venerable Hanshan's maw was about to close, 'Light Shadow Palace's diameter had already exceeded a hundred kilometers, nearly the same length as Venerable Hanshan's Physical Body.
Bang!
Venerable Hanshan tilted his head back, and as his maw closed, he actively pressed against 'Light Shadow Palace'.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
At the same time, Venerable Hanshan grabbed 'Light Shadow Palace' with his two front claws, dragging this Flying Palace-type Heavy Treasure with his Physical Body.
"Haha! Venerable Radiance, I can't do anything to your Flying Palace-type Heavy Treasure, but I can prevent you from shaking me off." Venerable Hanshan's laughter echoed.
"Venerable Hanshan, aren't you being too smug?"
Nineteen said coldly, "Even if you follow us, so what? As long as a Universe Master from our Human Alliance descends, you'll still have to obediently retreat."
"Is that so! Then let's see whether your Human Alliance's Universe Master arrives first, or my Northern Territory Alliance's Universe Master descends first." Venerable Hanshan had no intention of letting go.
Seeing that Venerable Hanshan wouldn't back down, Nineteen said nothing more, letting him hold onto Light Shadow Palace.
He had once heard his Eleventh brother say that the Demon race's Skywolf Lord, relying on Sky Wolf Palace, could traverse the entire Original Universe.
And the Sky Wolf Palace that Skywolf Lord relied on was a superb High-level Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure, a treasure of the same Rank as his Light Shadow Palace.
Thus, Light Shadow Palace carried Venerable Hanshan, but due to Venerable Hanshan's influence, its flight speed was greatly reduced, consistently unable to reach sub-light speed.
…
After about ten seconds of this stalemate, a emerald green stream of light flew over from a distance.
The arrival of that stream of light immediately caught the attention of Nineteen and the others inside Light Shadow Palace, as well as Venerable Hanshan. The newcomer was a giant whose entire body glowed with vibrant green life energy. Through his racial characteristics, appearance, aura…
"Thorn Ring Alliance, Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress!"
Venerable Hanshan's expression was solemn, but he still didn't release his grip on Light Shadow Palace.
"Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress, finally here."
Nineteen and the others were not surprised by Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's arrival, as he was the first Powerhouse to Break through the Hong Alliance's Seal.
"Venerable Hanshan, there's nothing more for you to do here."
Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's deep voice rang out, "Go on your way."
"My Northern Territory Alliance's Lord of Eternal Sleep is about to descend!"
Venerable Hanshan didn't back down in the slightest, "The one who should leave is you, Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress!"
The Powerhouses of the Northern Territory Alliance had a peculiar temperament. Because they were a coalition of various powerful races, none of them were Pinnacle races.
Before forming the Alliance, they naturally had to bow their heads.
But after forming the Alliance and inviting a solitary True God to oversee them… it was different!
They had always bowed their heads in the past, but after establishing the Northern Territory Alliance, they never bowed their heads again!
They would rather die in battle than easily bow their heads!
With the Hundred Birds Valley token right before his eyes, Venerable Hanshan naturally wouldn't give up, unless a Universe Master descended!
Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's low voice sounded, "Since you're unwilling to leave, then I'll just have to act!"
As soon as his voice fell, a monstrous pressure suddenly emanated, and at the same time, endless emerald green light shone. Countless gigantic vines, several kilometers thick, instantly enveloped the heavens and earth, turning them into a world of vines.
"Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress, come and fight!"
Venerable Hanshan released his grip on Light Shadow Palace with both claws and roared towards the sky.
"Seeking death." Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's voice was low.
Boom!
Countless vines intertwined, and myriad vines actually transformed into eight gigantic vines, several thousand kilometers thick, like eight enormous whips…
They turned into dazzling emerald green whip shadows, covering the sky and earth, directly striking towards Venerable Hanshan.
Roar!
Venerable Hanshan roared, transforming into a stream of light and meeting them head-on.
He relied on his ordinary Arcana Treasure set, which allowed both his attack and defense power to rival High-level Arcana Treasures, and thus he did not fear Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress.
According to the Northern Territory Alliance's data, Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's life gene Rank was approximately a thousand times, two to three hundred times higher than his own life gene Rank.
It was just that his Physical Body was far less massive than Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's. After all, his Vigorous Snow Vine Clone's volume exceeded a million kilometers, which was tens of thousands of times his Physical Body's volume!
"Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress!"
Venerable Hanshan roared, "Your Physical Body is more massive than mine, so I'm no match for you in a war of attrition, but you can't kill me in a short time."
"That's right, I can't kill you in a short time…"
A gigantic Divine Whip appeared in Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's hand. The Divine Whip had ancient, countless secret patterns on it, and driven by his burning Divine Power, it directly struck towards Venerable Hanshan.
Roar!
Venerable Hanshan roared, burning his Divine Power and transforming into a stream of light. With his head as the core, powerful energy surged throughout his body, colliding with the incoming Divine Whip.
"But I can suppress you…"
Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's eyes were cold. Eight emerald green whip shadows covered the sky and earth, continuously striking towards Venerable Hanshan, followed by the Divine Whip striking down.
Boom!
Powerful energy erupted, causing 'Light Shadow Palace' to constantly shake, and shockwaves spread in all directions.
Venerable Hanshan endured the attacks of the eight emerald green whip shadows and another strike from the Divine Whip, and was immediately repelled.
…
Inside Light Shadow Palace.
Although Light Shadow Palace constantly shook, its interior remained as stable as ever, and the powerful external energy did not cause any ripples.
"Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress is indeed a Top-tier Universe Overlord, he easily suppressed Venerable Hanshan."
"Venerable Hanshan is also not weak, daring to face a Top-tier Universe Overlord head-on."
"This Venerable Hanshan is very famous, his strength is very close to a Top-tier Universe Overlord. Among our Human Race's Universe Venerables, only the two great Top-tier Universe Overlords can suppress him."
"When two Powerhouses of similar strength fight, it's estimated that a winner won't be decided for a while. We can just watch the battle from within this Light Shadow Palace."
"Just now, Venerable Hanshan said that the Northern Territory Alliance's Lord of Eternal Sleep is about to descend?"
"Yes, Venerable Hanshan said that."
"If Lord of Eternal Sleep descends, won't our situation be dire?"
Venerable Bloodwing and the others looked at the scene simulated by Nineteen's Divine Power, secretly communicating, somewhat worried about the descent of the Northern Territory Alliance's Lord of Eternal Sleep.
Meanwhile, Nineteen controlled the palace and simulated the external scene with his Divine Power, not at all worried about the descent of Lord of Eternal Sleep, still paying attention to the battle outside.
…
Original Star battlefield.
In the endless emerald green vine world, Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress held the upper hand, firmly suppressing Venerable Hanshan, leaving him with only the power to defend himself.
"As long as I can suppress you, then I can Seal and take away the Human Venerable Radiance's Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure."
Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress flipped his hand, and a dark green Fortress appeared, expanding as it enveloped Light Shadow Palace.
Venerable Night Bright inside Light Shadow Palace saw this and cried out in alarm, "Not good!"
"Does Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's Palace-type Arcanay Treasure possess the ability to Seal?!"
Lord of Ganwu also felt very uneasy. If they were Sealed and suppressed, then they would only have to surrender.
Venerable Bloodwing and Venerable Aurora also had solemn expressions. They both felt the current crisis.
"Seal!"
Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress drove the dark green Fortress with his Divine Power, intending to draw Light Shadow Palace into it.
"Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress, how dare you!"
Venerable Hanshan roared in anger, but he was suppressed by the emerald green whip shadows and the Divine Whip, making it difficult to stop the dark green Fortress's suction!
"Radiance, we have to leave Light Shadow Palace!"
Venerable Bloodwing hastily said, "If we don't leave, we will be Sealed along with Light Shadow Palace."
"No need to worry."
Nineteen's expression was calm, "Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress cannot do anything to Light Shadow Palace."
Venerable Bloodwing and the others were half-believing, half-doubting. Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's Palace-type Heavy Treasure was a High-level Arcana Treasure.
If it possessed the Sealing function, Sealing and suppressing an ordinary Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure would be very easy!
Whoosh!
The dark green Fortress continuously absorbed, attempting to suppress the black Light Shadow Palace, but the absorption continued for a moment without Light Shadow Palace showing any sign of wavering.
"Hmm? How could this be?!"
Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress's eyes showed surprise.
Although his Flying Fortress was not a Seal-type Arcana Treasure, it still had a Sealing effect. Combined with the talent secret technique that controlled the Flying Fortress Clone, it could suppress an ordinary Flying Palace-type Arcana Treasure that offered no resistance.
But now, his suppression had failed!
