Bar Lion Master was not simply an ordinary living soul residing in Huge Axe?s miniature universe. Many humans who had witnessed the world collapsing and the space crumbling did not understand this meaning. How could Bar Lion Master not know?

?How could it be? How could it be that a universe supreme master has been annihilated!? Bar Lion Master?s six pairs of eyes widened. ?Teacher Origin of the humans was suppressed by the origin of the original universe, and for eternity.? Bar Lion Master?s eyes were filled with tears. ?The only one truly holding the race together was Huge Axe Creator, and now, even Huge Axe Creator has been annihilated. Does it not mean that the human race will no longer be a pinnacle race?

?The automaton clan, the demons, the bug clan, and the humans… The four pinnacle races occupy the four main territories with such pride. They even look down on us, the prison clan. Now that Huge Axe has been annihilated, that means the automaton clan, the demons, and the bug clan will act soon. There is no way they will let the humans go. Besides, that human Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng received the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River?something that all the powers in the entire Universe Ocean coveted. This inheritance is said to be the chance for anyone to transcend a reincarnation era. This is just great! Now the killings are going to get even crazier.?

Bar Lion Mater was quick to pick up the reality of what Huge Axe?s annihilation would represent.

Huge Axe?s annihilation was obviously a fact that could not be kept under wraps. It was just a matter of who learned about it first.

?For now, the news has yet to be spread, so it seems like the other races are still in the dark.? Bar Lion nodded discreetly. ?I have to rush back and report this to my clan.?

******

In the homeland of the prison clan, the birthplace was a place named ?Prison.?

Prison was fraught with dangers. The life forms here were born to fight and kill one another. Every waking moment, countless beings were annihilated. They were all from various races, but because their birthplace was a common ?prison,? they were collectively known as?the prison clan! In this endless prison, the being with the highest status was undoubtedly the legendary Prison Clan Devil Ancestor!

Rolling mountains exuded frigid air. Layers of mountains cascaded over one another. On every layer of mountain range were countless steps upon countless steps, extending and leading up to the higher grounds, then extending and leading further up into the end of the clouds. On these steps were numerous powerful living souls of the prison clan. All of them exuded a formidable aura. The sprawling mountain range was so vast and lofty that it was known as the Prison Clan Ancestor Mountain.

Hong!

A lone figure appeared instantly and flew straight for the peak of the ancestor mountain.

The numerous powerful guards of the prison clan on the steps did not dare stop the approaching figure the moment they saw who it was. A short moment later, this figure arrived at the public square of the group of towering godly palaces.

?Bar Lion Master, what urgent news do you bring us?? the leader of guards at the end of public square asked in a low growl. ?How dare you send only your avatar here!?

?Of course, this must be something major,? Bar Lion Master said solemnly.

Hong! Long!

The palace doors behind that leader of the guards opened automatically. A piercing voice that sounded like blades clashing against one another said, ?Come in.?

?Devil Ancestor!? Bar Lion Master flew in without further ado.

In the palace, Bar Lion Master looked up to see that, high up on the throne, a lone figure had appeared out of thin air. This malefic figure was covered in an intricate mix of silver and black, and its entire being was like a human form. It had a long, sharp tail that resembled a scorpion?s tail, and this tail extended out to such a length that it could encircle half of the mighty palace. Beneath the silver helmet, a pair of red eyes looked down.

This was Devil Ancestor! The prison clan?s Devil Ancestor!

Under Devil Ancestor?s guiding strategies, the entire prison clan was filled with internal fights and struggles that were brutal and horrifying. There was also a hierarchical caste system in place that was exceptionally strict. These crazy internal fights and struggles began at the lowest level of the hierarchy. Therefore, every prison clan great being that arose was an embodiment of absolute iron will, insanity, and cruelty. This was very unlike that of the humans, whose leaders took a friendlier and kinder cultivation approach to bringing up their ordinary humans beings.

?Devil Ancestor!? Bar Lion Master greeted with reverence.

?Your avatar is here to see me? What is it?? Devil Ancestor?s voice made Bar Lion Master?s heart tremble.

Bar Lion Master replied right away. ?My original body is preparing to head for Tilted Peak Sector??

?Speak up! What is it?? Devil Ancestor was getting a little impatient.

?Huge Axe! Huge Axe has been annihilated!? Bar Lion Master replied, no longer mindful of anything else. ?Huge Axe Creator has been annihilated.?

Hua!

A shadow flashed past, and an arm filled with black muscles covered with a silver shell instantly appeared before Bar Lion Master and caught hold of him. At the same time, Devil Ancestor?s eyes shot out hazy red light which quickly enshrouded Bar Lion Master as he asked anxiously, ?Huge Axe? Are you saying that the human, Huge Axe Creator, has been annihilated? Are you kidding me? Given his ability? Which is so much more powerful than you can ever imagine!?

Devil Ancestor might not be clear about Huge Axe Creator?s true power, but he could faintly feel something about it, and he knew that Huge Axe was a terrifying figure.

?I certainly dare not lie to you, Devil Ancestor,? Bar Lion reported. ?My original body was heading for Tilted Peak Sector. In the midst of teleporting, I chanced upon his miniature universe and was shocked to discover that… Huge Axe Creator?s miniature universe was starting to crack open with empty holes surfacing. A large amount of chaotic airflow was surging in, and I could even see through the empty holes and look inside where the space was collapsing. Land was cracking with broken parts floating about. Apparently, the miniature universe has started to fall apart… It is confirmed that Huge Axe Creator is dead. I know the severity of the situation; therefore, I did not dare hesitate and sent my avatar over right away to report this matter.?

Hua.

The black-muscled arm released its grip and slowly retracted. On his throne, Devil Ancestor?s eyes were glimmering. Then he said, ?If what you say is true, then you have done a great service to the clan.?

Shua!

Devil Ancestor vanished from his throne.

******

Merely a short moment later, within Universe Ocean, amidst the chaotic airflow that was not far from the membranous wall of the original universe, a horrifying figure appeared and stood tall within the void space. He had a huge and sharp tail that encircled his body, and his pair of red eyes gazed far off into the distance at the area that was occupied by a miniature universe.

?Huge Axe?s miniature universe.? Devil Ancestor scrutinized it.

Hong!

With one step forward, Devil Ancestor arrived at the border of the membranous wall of the miniature universe, dealing such a thunderous strike against it that a part of it collapsed and fell within the miniature universe.

?What a weak membranous wall.? Devil Ancestor took one look behind him. ?It is not even capable of self-restoration. Not a trace of life at all.?

He turned around. He looked at the vast space, at the floating pieces of space that contained bits and pieces of land. The entire universe was still gradually falling apart.

?To think that Huge Axe could actually be annihilated.? Devil Ancestor?s eyes were shining. ?Unbelievable. He was so powerful. Not long ago, he even obtained a supreme true treasure. By right, given his power… there should be no one capable of killing him. When one becomes a universe supreme master, he will always be vigilant and careful. Even in the three most dangerous lands, he would not allow himself to fall into any desperate situation. And yet, Huge Axe was annihilated! Just how did he die??

Devil Ancestor was secretly astounded.

?Whatever. Since he is dead, things are going to get interesting.? Devil Ancestor?s eyes were filled with anticipation. ?Let me add some fuel to the flames. Huge Axe may be dead, but the human race still has 17 universe masters. Earlier, Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng received the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River. With his help, the power of the human race should not be underestimated.?

Especially that Teacher Origin… though Devil Ancestor. Teacher Origin. I?m afraid he has left the human race with a trump card.

?No matter what, a race without a single universe supreme master, and yet with the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River… Humph!? Devil Ancestor said to himself. ?Let the demons, automaton race, and bug clan take the lead! We shall see just how sturdy a foundation the human race has. Can it hold on or not? If it cannot hold on much longer, then my prison race will be quick to catch up.?

******

Very quickly, under Devil Ancestor?s secret plot to add fuel to the flames, news of Huge Axe Creator?s annihilation was transmitted to the demons, automaton clan, and bug clan almost at the same time.

******

The original universe, amidst the quiet starry sky.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Three streaks flashed across the void space and landed instantly. One was a huge oval, one was a sylphlike shadow, and the last one was a gigantic, silver-white snakehead.

?Dream Tea, Empress, you all should have looked into the matter already,? the shadow of the oval said.

?Yes,? the sylphlike shadow replied.

?Huge Axe has indeed been annihilated,? the silver-white snakehead also said. ?This news was discovered by Fan Ye Master, who was wandering around. When the news spreads, I believe the entire original universe will learn of it very quickly!?

The shadow of the black oval said solemnly, ?The humans and we three races occupy the best territorial lands within the entire original universe. These territories allow us to breed life forms with great potential, which is why we three races can remain strong and powerful all this while… especially the humans, with that Teacher Origin?s power that is extremely strong! Even though Huge Axe has never really displayed an outburst of his power, there were several times when traces of it could be detected. I trust that you all should be aware. One after the other, these two universe supreme masters are so powerful that territory belonging to the human race must certainly be extraordinary?to be able to breed living souls with such potential.?

?The fight for territory is inevitable,? the shadow of the oval said. ?Besides, this time around, that inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River is bound to become an object of desire that various clans in the original universe will covet for.?

?True.?

?Yes, who wouldn?t desire it? This is a chance for transcending reincarnation.?

?What should we do??

The three universe supreme masters discussed the matter among themselves. They had ideas of attacking, but, just one party attacking would be very exhausting, and they were all worried about being placed at a disadvantage upon being attacked while the others stood to gain from their losses.

?The power of the human race must not be underestimated,? the sylphlike shadow said in a voice that was incomparably pleasing to the ears. ?Teacher Origin was so powerful. Most likely, he would have left his human race with some trump cards. And the Boat of Mausoleum of that Luo Feng is also extremely powerful… I?m just worried that Luo Feng does not only have a Boat of Mausoleum. He has likely brought some other treasures with him, too. So, if we are going to attack, we three races must act together.?

?If this is the case!? continued the sylphlike shadow. ?For those who are waiting behind to gain some benefits, we three races can deal with them together. It will not be strenuous at all. As for our three races, we have a total of four universe supreme masters, and the humans do not even have a single universe supreme master now. Exterminating them all… a piece of cake! So long as we are able to deal with the strongest few, everything will work out just fine!?

?Hmm.?

?Then what should our course of action be??

?Of course, we must act fast! We must be so fast that they do not even have the chance to react. Especially for the other groups of powers of the original universe, since the news just got out, the other groups of powers may not know anything yet. Besides, they are scattered all over the original universe. They are still far from us. On the other hand, we happen to be near to the humans! We can be the fastest to take action!?

?Sure.?

******

The bug clan, the demons, and the automaton race were extraordinary, too, given that they were all pinnacle races. Their efficiency was naturally extremely high.

A speedy decision was made. Then they took action on that very day!
