Venerable Chì Xīn and Qi Dao of the Hong Alliance!
Venerable Peifeng's expression was somewhat gloomy. He was about to leave this Original Star, but he didn't expect to be stopped.
Moreover, the incoming forces were quite formidable; just two Universe Overlords were enough to stop them, not to mention the Twelve Advanced Venerables.
"Peifeng, judging by Venerable Chì Xīn's tone, it seems to be an order from the Human's newly risen Venerable Void River, instructing the Hong Alliance powerhouses to intercept us," Venerable Fanguang transmitted.
"The treasure we just acquired must be extraordinary, otherwise, the Human Void River Master wouldn't have given such an order."
"You go first and report the information about the acquired treasure to your teacher, Qi Lan Master!"
"I will buy you time, trying my best to hold back Venerable Chì Xīn and Venerable Qi Dao."
Venerable Fanguang's gaze was firm, "We cannot let the treasure fall into the Hong Alliance's hands!"
"Fan Guang, I'm counting on you!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Peifeng gritted his teeth, burned his Immortal Energy to accelerate, and flew towards another vortex channel.
He knew that Venerable Fanguang couldn't buy him much time.
Because the Human Alliance had arrived with not only two Universe Overlords but also Twelve Advanced Venerables.
With Venerable Fanguang's strength, he could at most hold back two Universe Overlords, but the other Advanced Venerables would still catch up.
From the reactions of Venerable Jinglian and Venerable Fanguang, the Hong Alliance powerhouses knew that the newly appeared silver moon blade treasure was on Venerable Peifeng.
"Trying to escape? Heh…"
Seeing this, Venerable Chì Xīn chuckled lightly and transmitted, "You all follow Venerable Peifeng, constantly synchronizing his coordinates to the Hong Alliance, and pay attention to any other powerhouses he contacts."
"Yes."
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, all the Advanced Venerables burned their Immortal Energy, transforming into streaks of light, and pursued Venerable Peifeng.
Instantaneous movement and Divine Kingdom teleportation were impossible on Original Star, and the maximum flight speed was only sub-light speed.
While these Advanced Venerables were certainly no match for a Universe Overlord in combat, they were sufficient for tracking.
"Damn it!"
Venerable Peifeng looked back and saw more than ten streaks of light closely following him, and he had a very bad premonition.
The nine super forces and Twelve top-tier forces in the Universe had all done such things as block Original Stars.
Venerable Peifeng was very familiar with the process.
First, Universe Overlords lead teams of Advanced Venerables to blockade the vortex channels near where a treasure appears.
Then, the Universe Overlords continuously shrink the encirclement to prevent the Universe Venerable or Universe Overlord who obtained the treasure from escaping, and wait for a Universe Master to arrive.
"Fan Guang cannot buy me much time."
Venerable Peifeng thought to himself, "I must contact my teacher, hoping that my teacher or other Universe Master of the Alliance can arrive before the Human Void River Master."
With that thought, he began to contact his teacher through his Immortal Energy Avatar.
...
Northern Territory Alliance, Star River Secret Realm.
Within the virtual world covering the entire Secret Realm, there were over a hundred magnificent and majestic palace complexes.
Due to his authority, Venerable Peifeng teleported to the Main Hall of his teacher, Qi Lan Master's, palace complex.
On the throne in the Main Hall, a four-hoofed white-furred creature was coiled, exuding a powerful aura and pressure.
"Teacher."
After arriving at the Main Hall, Venerable Peifeng respectfully bowed to the four-hoofed white-furred creature on the throne.
"I, along with Venerable Fanguang and Venerable Jinglian, acquired a treasure on Original Star 10000, and are currently being besieged by the Human Alliance."
Then, he hurriedly said, "Listening to Venerable Chì Xīn of the Hong Alliance, the blockade order was issued by the Human Void River Master."
"Void River Master…"
The white-furred four-hoofed creature slightly raised its head, its eyes showing seriousness, "Simulate the image of the treasure you acquired."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Peifeng quickly simulated the complete appearance of the silver moon blade and the circumstances of its appearance with his mind.
"This is… a component of Zhu Yan."
The white-furred four-hoofed creature stood up and said gravely, "No wonder the Human Void River Master values it so much."
"Peifeng!" The white-furred four-hoofed creature looked down at Venerable Peifeng.
"Yes."
Venerable Peifeng nodded respectfully.
"You must protect that treasure. I will have the Universe Overlords and Top-tier Universe Overlords near Original Star 10000 support you."
The white-furred four-hoofed creature said in a deep voice, "I will also report the news to Star River Master and immediately rush to Original Star 10000."
"This Disciple understands."
Venerable Peifeng nodded heavily, then hesitated, "Teacher, what should I do if the Human Void River Master arrives?"
"Try to delay as much as possible. If it's truly impossible, then hand over the treasure to him."
The white-furred four-hoofed creature pondered for a moment, then added, "Void River Master's strength is not inferior to mine. Top-tier Universe Overlords cannot fight him."
"What?!"
Venerable Peifeng's eyes widened in disbelief!
The Northern Territory Alliance had 101 Universe Master, and his teacher, Qi Lan Master, held a high position in the Alliance, even slightly higher than the Overflowing Devil Master.
It was no exaggeration to say that among the Universe Master of the Northern Territory Alliance, only about ten could surpass his teacher in status and strength.
Yet, the newly risen Human Void River Master was not inferior to his teacher in strength, which showed how formidable his strength was!
"Peifeng, if the Human Void River Master arrives first, prioritize saving your life."
Qi Lan Master instructed, "With Void River Master's strength and status, as long as you hand over the treasure, he will not make things difficult for you."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Peifeng felt quite touched.
"Go…"
The white-furred four-hoofed creature nodded slightly and disappeared from the Main Hall throne.
...
Original Star 10000.
The streak of light formed by Venerable Peifeng, carrying more than ten streaks of light formed by Hong Alliance Venerables, swept past mountains, dense forests, and swamps, heading towards the nearest vortex channel.
However, very quickly, his flight path deviated, because more Hong Alliance powerhouses had arrived at that vortex channel.
A Hong Alliance Universe Overlord, connected to the Virtual Universe through his Immortal Energy Avatar, arrived at a temporary special plane of the Hong Alliance.
Within that plane, over a hundred Hong Alliance Seven Star Overlords and over a thousand Six Star Advanced Venerables were gathered, all seated on thrones.
"This is Original Star Channel 3178. Venerable Peifeng's flight direction has deviated. The target is Original Star Channel 231."
"Original Star Channel 8182, Northern Territory Alliance's Chasing Light Venerable attempted to break in, but was successfully intercepted!"
"I am Venerable Juyan. Original Star Channel 231 has been blockaded."
"Original Star Channel 4413, a team of Northern Territory Alliance Advanced Venerables attempted to break in, but has been driven away."
"Original Star 1231…"
At this moment, these Seven Star Overlords and Six Star Venerables were rapidly exchanging information, executing the task of blockading Original Star 10000 and obstructing the Northern Territory Alliance powerhouses.
And at the highest point of this plane, Ender sat on a thousand-meter-high throne, supporting his cheek with a clenched fist, his majestic body hidden in mist and difficult to discern. "Original Star cannot be instantly moved or teleported by a Divine Kingdom, and the maximum flight speed is only sub-light speed…"
Ender silently thought, "Even if I transfer according to the optimal route, it will take 2 minutes and 12 seconds to arrive."
Original Star was not large, only about 100 billion kilometers in diameter.
But the problem was that even a Universe Master could only fly at sub-light speed on Original Star.
This meant that to reach other Original Stars as quickly as possible, one had to transfer through multiple Original Stars, and even so, it would still take some time to arrive.
"I should be the first to discover the Zhu Yan component, otherwise, so many Universe Overlords and Top-tier Universe Overlords of the Northern Territory Alliance would have already gone to Original Star 10000 to receive Venerable Peifeng."
Ender thought to himself, "Two minutes… is not enough for the Northern Territory Alliance's Universe Master to arrive."
The entrance to the Northern Territory Alliance's Original Star was relatively far from Original Star 10000, and even following the optimal route on the star chart, it would take three minutes to arrive.
Calculated this way, he had an absolute time advantage.
However, the Northern Territory Alliance had many powerhouses, and a large number of Top-tier Universe Overlords.
What he was worried about now was that a Top-tier Universe Overlord would break through the blockade and take over the 'Zhu Yan' component from Venerable Peifeng.
If a Top-tier Universe Overlord took over, his strength would certainly not be something an ordinary Universe Overlord could stop.
"Original Star Channel 1378, Northern Territory Alliance's Chi Yun Master, has broken through the blockade!" A voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Ender's eyes narrowed slightly.
As the saying goes, what you worry about comes true; a Top-tier Universe Overlord had indeed broken through the blockade.
"I will be responsible for intercepting Chi Yun Master." A deep voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, the Universe Venerables immediately felt relieved.
Because the one who spoke was the Hong Alliance's Top-tier Universe Overlord, Venerable Kuiye.
Ender, seated on the high throne, nodded slightly.
With the Top-tier Universe Overlord Venerable Kuiye making a move, he could completely stop Chi Yun Master.
Moreover, there was no need to worry about failing to stop him, as Venerable Kuiye's Original Star Channel was much closer to Venerable Peifeng's location than Chi Yun Master's.
...
Original Star 10000.
Venerable Peifeng flew at sub-light speed. He dared not go to the nearby Original Star Channels.
Because the surrounding twenty-odd Original Star Channels were all blockaded by the Hong Alliance's powerhouses; going there would be walking into a trap!
"Damn it! The Hong Alliance seems to have been prepared. Their speed in blockading the Original Star is too fast!"
Venerable Peifeng flew and fled, constantly leading the Hong Alliance Venerables behind him in circles.
"It's obvious that a Hong Alliance powerhouse must have recognized the 'Zhu Yan' component and immediately notified the Human Void River Master."
He muttered to himself, "But the question is, how did they identify the 'Zhu Yan' component?"
'Zhu Yan' was a Pinnacle Spirit Weapon Arcana Treasure, and its missing component shapes were difficult for outsiders to know.
This was also why the Flying Spirit Alliance powerhouses could recover so many components from Original Star without ever letting them fall into the hands of other Alliance forces.
The few known components had different shapes: some were handleless swords, some moon blades, some knife blades…
If there was any similarity among these components, it was that they were all silver in color; beyond that, it was very difficult to identify them.
"If I had recognized that silver moon blade as a 'Zhu Yan' component earlier, perhaps I could have easily brought it back to the Northern Territory Alliance."
Venerable Peifeng knew that if he could bring back the 'Zhu Yan' component, he would definitely receive a major reward from the Alliance.
Once the Northern Territory Alliance obtained the 'Zhu Yan' component, they would have leverage over the Flying Spirit Alliance, allowing the latter to make concessions at certain times.
Unfortunately, he didn't recognize it!
He had never obtained components of precious supreme treasures, even though he had heard that some supreme treasures born on Original Star were incomplete and required other components to increase their power.
But hearing and obtaining were two different concepts!
Venerable Peifeng's will was firm, "I need to buy time, until my Northern Territory Alliance's Top-tier Universe Overlords arrive, or my teacher personally descends!"
He knew that as long as an Alliance powerhouse broke through and arrived by his side, his mission would be accomplished.
Facing the Hong Alliance's blockade, he could not escape alone, nor was it possible to break through the blockade.
The Hong Alliance was one of the nine super forces in the Universe.
Although they were inferior to their Northern Territory Alliance in the number of Universe Master, Universe Overlords, and Universe Venerables.
But it was still a super force, and the number of Universe Overlords and Universe Venerables naturally exceeded that of the Twelve top-tier forces.
The Hong Alliance should have about 60 Universe Master, of which about 40 were Palace Lords, and about 300 Universe Overlords.
This time, the appearance of the 'Zhu Yan' component was not slow, and the Hong Alliance had limited time to gather powerhouses.
But even if one-third or even one-quarter of the Universe Overlords came, it would be enough to blockade the surrounding twenty-odd vortex channels.
With the vortex channels blockaded and teams of Universe Overlords and Advanced Venerables intercepting, his range of activity was gradually shrinking.
Venerable Peifeng estimated that it wouldn't be long before he was caught or intercepted, and then he would have no choice but to fight with all his might.
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerhouse burst out from an Original Star Channel, his body reaching a hundred kilometers in length, enveloped by a yellowish-brown Domain!
"Venerable Peifeng!"
As soon as that powerhouse burst out of the channel, while resisting the siege of the Hong Alliance powerhouses, he transmitted to Venerable Peifeng.
"Venerable Hansha!"
Upon seeing this, Venerable Peifeng's eyes revealed joy.
Venerable Hansha's strength was close to a Top-tier Universe Overlord, and he was protected by a set of supreme treasures comparable to High-level Arcana Treasure armor, allowing him to fight with a Top-tier Universe Overlord for a while.
Just then, at the Original Star Channel, the Hong Alliance powerhouses were besieging Venerable Hansha.
"Hmph! Azure Feather Palace Master, you think you can stop me?"
Venerable Hansha coldly snorted, his massive body crashing towards the Universe Overlord among the Hong Alliance powerhouses.
Bang!
With that collision from Venerable Hansha, not only Azure Feather Palace Master but all the surrounding powerhouses were repelled.
Azure Feather Palace Master secretly resented, "He's just relying on his enormous Divine Body and a set of supreme treasures comparable to High-level Arcana Treasure armor for protection."
His Divine Body was not as massive as Venerable Hansha's, and his weapons and armor were all ordinary supreme treasures.
His Domain treasure was a top-tier Heavy Treasure, making it difficult to restrict Venerable Hansha, who also had a Domain-type Heavy Treasure of the same Rank.
However, he was known for his relatively high-quality ordinary flying palace Arcana Treasure, and in terms of life-saving ability, he even surpassed Venerable Hansha.
But in this situation, what was being tested was direct combat power, not life-saving ability!
"This is Original Star Channel 2131. Venerable Hansha has broken through the blockade!"
Seeing Venerable Hansha leave, Azure Feather Palace Master quickly reported to the Virtual Universe through his Immortal Energy Avatar.
...
Virtual Universe, special plane.
"Continue the blockade. There's no need to worry about Venerable Hansha taking the treasure away."
Ender, seated on the highest throne, heard Azure Feather Palace Master's report and spoke softly, "I am about to descend upon Original Star 10000."
All the Seven Star Overlords and Six Star Advanced Venerables were invigorated.
Their mission was to blockade Original Star and then wait for a Universe Master to arrive.
Now that Void River Master was about to arrive, they were not far from completing their mission, and there was no need to worry about the failure of this operation.
...
Original Star 10000.
At a certain vortex channel, a majestic figure appeared, and the space-time of the entire Original Star was brought under control!
