Not long after.
The golden palace vibrated, and four streams of light flew out from the three palace gates.
One was orange-yellow, transformed from a flying palace Arcana Treasure that emitted a faint glow, resembling an irregular sphere.
One was pitch-black, transformed from a pitch-black tower-shaped flying palace Arcana Treasure.
The other two streams of light were Overflowing Devil Master and Yu Chi Master.
"Primal Chaos City Lord, Liu Lan Star Master, Mie Jin Master."
Overflowing Devil Master and Yu Chi Master simultaneously nodded slightly to the three powerhouses who roamed the Original Universe.
"Senior Martial Uncle."
Ender controlled the flying palace Arcana Treasure and flew to Primal Chaos City Lord's side.
"A flying palace Arcana Treasure I haven't seen before, and it's a high-grade Arcana Treasure."
Mie Jin Master only glanced at it before turning his gaze to the pitch-black tower-shaped flying palace Arcana Treasure.
A high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure, even a fifth-Rank Universe Master cannot break it in a short period, and they are all life-saving treasures in the Original Universe.
Mie Jin Master has been a Universe Master for a long time, far exceeding Changjiu Lord, whose status in the Demon race is second only to the two Demon Ancestors.
Precisely because he has been famous for a long time, his knowledge is naturally extremely vast, and there are very, very few high-grade flying palace supreme treasures he hasn't seen.
But how could he know that Flame Emperor's flying palace Arcana Treasure was a collection of Sitting Mountain Guest, a lone True God?
It was a top-grade high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure—Night Tower—that Flame Emperor exchanged from Sitting Mountain Guest at a huge cost when he had not yet left the Human Race.
" Flame Emperor."
With Liu Lan Star Master as the core, the area within several hundreds of thousands of kilometers underwent a change, transforming into an endless sea of stars.
In the pitch-black starry Universe, there were countless brilliant stars, emitting dazzling light within the sea of stars, yet unable to illuminate the night-like darkness.
The Night Tower, on which Flame Emperor was riding, swayed like a small boat in that endless sea of stars, unable to stir up any ripples or move even an inch!
"Such a powerful Domain type Arcana Treasure."
Ender came out of Sun Fortress and stood beside Primal Chaos City Lord.
"That is Liu Lan Star Master's famous Arcana Treasure, 'Endless Sea of Stars,' a top-grade Pinnacle Arcana Treasure that integrates Spirit Weapon and Domain types."
Primal Chaos City Lord looked at the sea of stars covering a space-time and said softly, "It was also the strongest Arcana Treasure born on the Original Star during the first opening of the Original Star."
"The strongest Arcana Treasure born during the first opening of the Original Star…"
Ender nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The strongest supreme treasures born each time the Original Star opens are Pinnacle supreme treasures of the flying palace, Domain, and Soul categories, and they are Pinnacle supreme treasures with multiple functions.
For example, a flying palace type Arcana Treasure could be a Pinnacle Arcana Treasure that integrates suppression and flight.
A Domain type could be an integration of Spirit Weapon and Domain…
Evidently, Liu Lan Star Master's Endless Sea of Stars was the latter.
"Didn't Wuju Master say he would block Liu Lan Star Master for me? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Inside the Night Tower, Flame Emperor saw that the power of the brilliant sea of stars was incredibly formidable, and the flying palace Arcana Treasure he was riding was difficult to move, which made him feel annoyed.
If Wuju Master had arrived, with his strength, he would certainly be able to stop Liu Lan Star Master, but the problem was that he hadn't arrived yet!
"Damn it!"
Flame Emperor's eyes seemed to spew fire, and the violent aura around him was uncontrollable, spreading throughout the palace.
When the Night Tower was suppressed and bound in the Endless Sea of Stars, unable to move an inch.
Liu Lan Star Master, whose entire body was as dark as night, standing in the Endless Sea of Stars, with only his eyes as brilliant as stars visible, watched everything.
" Flame Emperor."
Liu Lan Star Master spoke, his voice extremely cold.
"Liu Lan Star Master."
Without strong reinforcements, Flame Emperor had no choice but to suppress his negative emotions and try to stall for time.
At the same time, he sent an Immortal Energy Clone to the palace where Wuju Master was, urging this fifth-Rank Universe Master to arrive as soon as possible.
"Hand over Mi Yu Master's treasures."
Liu Lan Star Master's voice sounded again.
"All of Mi Yu Master's treasures are here."
Flame Emperor's face was extremely ugly; even though he was extremely unwilling, facing Liu Lan Star Master, such a terrifying existence, alone.
He still had to send out Mi Yu Master's treasures from the flying palace Arcana Treasure and place them in the Endless Sea of Stars.
The Endless Sea of Stars swept up those treasures, and then Liu Lan Star Master's voice came again, "No, there's still one Pinnacle Arcana Treasure."
"Pinnacle Arcana Treasure?!"
Flame Emperor's eyes widened in anger, his face filled with fury, "Mi Yu Master only had weapons and armor as top-tier supreme treasures, where would a Pinnacle Arcana Treasure come from?!"
"I say I have it…"
Liu Lan Star Master's voice was cold, "Then you have it!"
Boom!
The Endless Sea of Stars exerted stronger pressure on the pitch-black tower-shaped flying palace Arcana Treasure, and Flame Emperor inside the palace also felt the increased pressure.
"No!"
Flame Emperor denied it with a livid face; he couldn't possibly take out a Pinnacle Arcana Treasure.
He had a total of three top-grade Pinnacle supreme treasures, all bestowed upon him by his teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest.
Among them, the Robbery Armor belonged to his Junior Brother; he was only temporarily keeping it.
The Northern Imprisonment Prison was a top-tier flying palace Arcana Treasure, its value was not inferior to a Pinnacle Arcana Treasure, but how could he dare to take out the Northern Imprisonment Prison!
Whoosh—!
As Flame Emperor's words fell, a brilliant star in the Endless Sea of Stars moved.
It streaked across the night sky like a meteor, plummeting towards the Night Tower.
Boom!
That meteor heavily struck the Night Tower, directly causing the tower body to tumble continuously in place, yet it still remained difficult to move.
Inside the palace, Flame Emperor, seated on his throne, also tumbled along with the palace.
Humiliation!
At this moment, Flame Emperor felt immense humiliation!
This was something he had never experienced since becoming a Universe Master.
Especially with several Universe Master watching nearby, including Primal Chaos City Lord and Void River Master from the Human Race.
Although it was humiliating, he felt quite powerless when facing Liu Lan Star Master.
Even when pursued by Ice Summit Master, he had the ability to protect himself with his flying palace Arcana Treasure, only fearing being suppressed by Ice Mountain Palace, his Pinnacle palace Arcana Treasure.
However, Liu Lan Star Master's strength was too great, and his Domain type Arcana Treasure was extremely terrifying.
Even when he was inside the top-grade high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure, Night Tower, he still didn't feel safe.
For a fifth-Rank Universe Master, a high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure can only be broken in a short period, not impossible to break.
A top-grade high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure might be difficult to break, but it can be suppressed.
Flame Emperor knew that Liu Lan Star Master's true body, who presided over the Thorn Ring Alliance, possessed a top-tier suppression palace Arcana Treasure, sufficient to suppress his Night Tower.
"Hand over the Pinnacle Arcana Treasure."
Liu Lan Star Master's voice sounded again.
Flame Emperor's face was extremely ugly, and for a moment, he hesitated whether to bring up his teacher Sitting Mountain Guest's name.
Suddenly, through his Immortal Energy Clone, he received a reply from Wuju Master, instantly gaining some confidence.
"Liu Lan Star Master."
Flame Emperor transmitted, "I've already given you the supreme treasures on Mi Yu Master; don't try to coerce me into handing over a Pinnacle Arcana Treasure!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lan Star Master's voice was cold, "Since that's the case, then prepare to be suppressed."
As his words fell, a towering azure ancient tower, tens of thousands of kilometers high, appeared within this Endless Sea of Stars; it was his top-tier suppression palace Arcana Treasure!
Boom!
Suddenly, near the vortex passage not far from the golden palace, a majestic figure appeared, and the surrounding controlled space-time was completely disrupted by him. That figure was nearly tens of thousands of kilometers tall, with a leopard-like yet not leopard-like physique, covered in thick black scales, and a spiral single horn on its head, exuding an incredibly domineering and powerful aura of pressure.
The newcomer was none other than the Nine Territories Alliance's authority, Wuju Master!
Wuju Master's arrival made all the Universe Master present turn their gazes towards him.
One could only say that Wuju Master's arrival was within the expectations of the Universe Master, and it even seemed a bit… slow!
"Heh heh, Wuju Master has arrived."
Mie Jin Master smiled, "This is getting interesting."
"Wuju Master…"
Ender's mind recalled the information on this Nine Territories Alliance authority; he was a fifth-Rank Pinnacle Universe Master whose strength was no less than that of his Senior Martial Uncle, Primal Chaos City Lord.
However, Wuju Master did not possess the ability to have Clones, so his deterrent power was still somewhat less than that of Primal Chaos City Lord.
…
"Liu Lan Star Master."
After Wuju Master arrived, he said softly, " Flame Emperor cannot be suppressed."
"Do you know what Flame Emperor did?"
Liu Lan Star Master's voice echoed in the Endless Sea of Stars, "He annihilated Mi Yu Master without any reason."
"I know."
Wuju Master nodded slightly, " Flame Emperor is willing to offer compensation."
"Compensation?"
Liu Lan Star Master snorted, "What kind of compensation can make up for Mi Yu Master's demise?"
" Flame Emperor, what kind of compensation can you give?"
Wuju Master transmitted his inquiry to Flame Emperor in the Night Tower within the Endless Sea of Stars.
"A high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure."
Upon hearing this, Flame Emperor knew that he had to pay some price.
So, he gritted his teeth and offered the flying palace Arcana Treasure he had obtained from the Human Race as compensation for Mi Yu Master's demise.
Flame Emperor, who would even attack the Human Race's Lei Yan Master for treasures, was an extremely greedy person.
It was already very difficult to make such a greedy person pay a high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure as compensation!
"A high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure?"
Wuju Master was somewhat at a loss for words upon hearing this.
Is a Universe Master only worth a high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure?
Although a high-grade flying Arcana Treasure is not low in value, a slightly better quality one can be worth three top-tier weapon supreme treasures, but this is still not enough!
"It's too low."
Helpless, Wuju Master had no choice but to transmit to Flame Emperor, "You must at least pay three treasures of equivalent value."
"Just one high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure, this is the maximum price I can pay."
Flame Emperor said directly, "Wuju Master, you said you would block Liu Lan Star Master for me; you broke your promise."
Wuju Master said in a deep voice, "If I hadn't promised you, I wouldn't have come here at all."
"Don't forget, I acted against Mi Yu Master to complete that one's test."
Flame Emperor transmitted coldly, "I'm not just doing it for myself, but also for the Nine Territories Alliance."
"I know, that's why I agreed to help you block Liu Lan Star Master."
Wuju Master was somewhat annoyed, "Since you are unwilling to pay more treasures, then let's change the conditions."
"Alright."
Seeing that he didn't have to pay more treasures, Flame Emperor readily agreed.
"Hmph, don't think that just because you have some connection with Sitting Mountain Guest, you have the capital to shout at me!"
Wuju Master snorted inwardly, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think you can act recklessly just by relying on some connection with Sitting Mountain Guest."
"Liu Lan Star Master."
Wuju Master said in a deep voice, " Flame Emperor is willing to pay a high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure and take three of your moves as compensation."
" Flame Emperor dares to propose taking three moves from Liu Lan Star Master?"
Yu Chi Master was somewhat stunned upon hearing this, "Does he really have that much strength?"
" Flame Emperor is very confident."
Overflowing Devil Master said silently upon hearing this, "I just don't know if it's confidence or overconfidence…"
Liu Lan Star Master, that was a powerhouse even more terrifying than Star River Master, the authority of the Northern Territory Alliance.
Three moves from such a terrifying existence could probably directly annihilate many third-Rank Universe Master.
Flame Emperor, a third-Rank Lord, had few rivals, but he ultimately hadn't created the Strongest Secret Technique, so he might not be able to withstand three moves from Liu Lan Star Master.
For powerhouses of Liu Lan Star Master's caliber, a fifth-Rank Pinnacle powerhouse, both their treasures and secret techniques were among the most top-tier among the Universe Master of the Original Universe.
Perhaps powerhouses of this Rank still couldn't achieve instant annihilation of a third-Rank Universe Master who was resisting with all their might in one blow.
But if it were three moves… it might not be impossible!
"An interesting proposal…"
Liu Lan Star Master paused, then said, "Since you dare to take three of my moves, I won't bully you too much."
"For my first move, I will only use an ultimate secret technique."
"The second move is the Strongest Secret Technique."
"The third move is the Fusion Strongest Secret Technique I created in my early years."
Liu Lan Star Master said lightly, "If you survive my three moves, then your payment of a high-grade flying palace Arcana Treasure can serve as compensation for Mi Yu Master's demise."
Endless Sea of Stars, inside the Night Tower.
Flame Emperor's expression was very calm upon hearing Liu Lan Star Master's words.
When he first heard Wuju Master's proposal, he was furious to the extreme.
He knew that he had been played by Wuju Master.
Or rather, the other party intentionally wanted to teach him a lesson.
Due to his teacher Sitting Mountain Guest's command, he couldn't reveal his true relationship with his teacher Sitting Mountain Guest.
This meant that despite having a True God as a teacher, it was as if he had none, only able to bluff with "some connection."
But since his teacher Sitting Mountain Guest didn't show up, his bluff was quickly becoming unsustainable.
This made him understand a truth: without strength and background after leaving the Human Race… he had to be low-key when necessary!
"North Prison Master!"
Endless longing arose in Flame Emperor's heart, "I must fulfill my teacher Sitting Mountain Guest's mission as North Prison Master as much as possible…"
"Only then can I regain my teacher Sitting Mountain Guest's recognition and trust!"
But before that, he had to take three moves from Liu Lan Star Master.
"Three moves… one ultimate secret technique, one Strongest Secret Technique, one Fusion Strongest Secret Technique."
Flame Emperor roared inwardly, "I don't believe three moves can kill me!"
"As long as you can't kill me, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
"Thorn Ring Alliance, Nine Territories Alliance, Northern Territory Alliance, Human Alliance, Demon Clan Alliance, Yuan Chen Alliance…"
Flame Emperor sensed the Universe Master present, a hint of madness in his eyes, "You made me lose face, every single one of you… I won't let anyone off!"
Liu Lan Star Master retracted the Endless Sea of Stars, covering himself again, "Is Flame Emperor ready?"
Sensing the Domain pressure disappear, Flame Emperor emerged from the Night Tower, his divine body nearly tens of thousands of kilometers tall, the madness in his eyes slightly receding.
Holding the Flame God Halberd, Flame Emperor looked directly at Liu Lan Star Master and said in a deep voice, "Come!"
