That figure was 50,000 kilometers tall, clad in dark golden armor with intricate secret patterns, and surrounded by illusory yet real, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing emerald green feathers.
His Immortal Energy pressure was solid and terrifying, causing the surrounding space to tremble, and there was a unique feeling in his every move.
A pair of black vertical pupils were even more profound and mysterious like a black hole, as if they could see through the entire Original Star.
Boom...
All areas of the entire 10000th Original Star, whether wilderness, forest, desert, high mountains, swamps, oceans...
Were all subjected to an irresistible restraint!
The Universe Venerables on this Original Star felt various emotions upon sensing this powerful restraint: shock, joy, relief, frustration...
"Haha, the Hong Alliance's Void River Master has arrived."
"That treasure should belong to the Hong Alliance."
"With Void River Master here, I don't believe Venerable Peifeng can still escape!"
"This blockade operation is really easy; too few strong individuals from the Northern Territory Alliance have arrived."
The Hong Alliance's Universe Venerables discussed animatedly, remaining in place due to the control over space and time.
Even Universe Overlords could only barely move under the power of controlled space and time; only Top-tier Universe Overlords could move freely.
...
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a Universe Master from the Hong Alliance who has arrived."
"The Hong Alliance has blockaded the vortex channel around the treasure's birthplace, clearly intending to seize the treasure from Venerable Peifeng of the Northern Territory Alliance."
"The Northern Territory Alliance and the Hong Alliance are both super forces; since they want to contend, let them contend."
"That's right, the treasure being contended for by the two super forces is extraordinary. Since a Universe Master has arrived and we cannot leave, we might as well watch from here."
The Universe Venerables belonging to various forces, seeing a Universe Master arrive, knew they couldn't leave temporarily, so they simply transmitted messages and discussed on the spot.
...
"It's a Hong Alliance Universe Master who has arrived!"
"The Hong Alliance Universe Master arrived too quickly..."
"Sigh, it seems the treasure will fall into the Hong Alliance's hands."
"I wonder which Universe Master of the Hong Alliance has arrived. It's probably at least a Palace Lord."
One by one, the strong individuals belonging to the Northern Territory Alliance stopped their actions as soon as they were subjected to the restraint of the controlled space and time.
When a Universe Master arrives, they must show respect, even if it's a Universe Master from an opposing faction!
Venerable Peifeng felt endless restraint; if he didn't burn his Immortal Energy, he would find it difficult to move under this restraint.
Moreover, he could feel that powerful and terrifying Immortal Energy was gathering around him.
Once these Immortal Energys attacked, his Divine Body would surely suffer heavy losses!
"Void River Master!"
Venerable Peifeng shouted loudly.
...
"Void River Master?"
"What? It's actually this great existence who has arrived!"
"Rumor has it that Void River Master became a Universe Master in tens of millions of years, and he Cultivated the Beast God Path, which is extremely difficult to Breakthrough."
"My teacher told me that Void River Master is immensely powerful and can rank among the Pinnacle Universe Masters."
"With this great existence present, that treasure will surely belong to the Hong Alliance."
The Universe Venerables of other forces who heard Venerable Peifeng's shout all transmitted their emotions.
This was because the Human Void River Master rose too quickly, and his strength progressed extremely rapidly, making him a strong individual among Universe Masters!
...
"Venerable Peifeng."
Ender stood before the vortex channel and spoke to Venerable Peifeng using his Immortal Energy, "Hand over the treasure."
"To have Void River Master arrive, this treasure must be extraordinary, right?"
Venerable Peifeng said loudly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a component of the Flying Spirit Alliance's Pinnacle Arcana Treasure 'Zhu Yan'!"
"Hand over the treasure!"
Ender's voice was cold, "Don't think about delaying time!"
Boom!
Suddenly, the space-time restraint surged violently, as if an invisible large hand had grabbed Venerable Peifeng and clenched tightly, seemingly wanting to crush him entirely.
"Not good!"
Venerable Peifeng felt a terrifying power descend, realizing the situation was bad, and immediately burned his Immortal Energy to resist.
But the surrounding restraint was constantly surging and intensifying...
The power continued to increase, causing his Divine Body to make "hissing" sounds, and his Divine Body lost nearly 1% in the blink of an eye!
Losing so much Immortal Energy, Venerable Peifeng was greatly alarmed, "I have an ordinary Arcana Treasure armor protecting me..."
Ordinary Heavy Treasure armor can weaken power that does not exceed its attack limit to one ten-thousandth.
This is the same as High-level, Top-tier Heavy Treasures, and non-premium Pinnacle Heavy Treasure armor, only the upper limit of the attack power they can withstand is different.
"Venerable Peifeng, hand over the treasure!"
Ender's cold voice resonated around Venerable Peifeng, "Otherwise, you will fall here!"
"I'll hand it over!"
Venerable Peifeng heard this and quickly said, "I'll hand over the treasure right away."
Too terrifying!
This was his first true direct confrontation with a Universe Master, but he hadn't even met Void River Master in person, and he had already lost a significant amount of Immortal Energy due to the space-time oppression.
If he didn't hand over the 'Zhu Yan' component, he estimated he would immediately suffer attacks from the powerful Immortal Energy around him, leading to even greater losses, or even the danger of falling.
Anyway, his teacher, Qi Lan Master, had said that if absolutely necessary, he could hand over the treasure to save his life.
This situation was precisely the moment for him to hand over the treasure to save his life.
"This is the component of 'Zhu Yan'."
Venerable Peifeng felt the space-time oppressive force diminish and quickly took out a silver moon blade from his world ring, erased the life imprint, and placed it in the air.
"It's actually a component of 'Zhu Yan'."
"The Alliance's Pinnacle Heavy Treasure 'Zhu Yan' component was taken by the Hong Alliance."
"This news must be reported to the Alliance immediately!"
The Universe Venerables of the Flying Spirit Alliance, upon hearing this, quickly reported to the Alliance through their Immortal Energy Avatars.
...
Original Universe, Flying Spirit Alliance territory.
The Flying Spirit Alliance, one of the Twelve Top-tier Forces of the Universe.
In terms of the number of strong individuals in the Alliance, it is similar to the Thorn Ring Alliance and the Nine Territories Alliance; apart from not having a True God overseeing it, it is no worse than the Pinnacle races.
However, unlike the Thorn Ring and Nine Territories Alliances, which represent the Twelve Top-tier Forces...
The ruler of the Flying Spirit Alliance, the Yu Ling Master, although possessing the strength of a Fifth-rank Universe Master, is not as strong as Liu Lan Star Master and Wuju Master.
The latter two are at the Fifth-rank Pinnacle, while the former is at the Fifth-rank Top-tier.
When the Yu Ling Master received the news that a component of 'Zhu Yan' had appeared and was taken by the Human Void River Master, he immediately fell silent.
The component that appeared was the last component of 'Zhu Yan'.
Once all components are gathered, the full power of the Pinnacle Heavy Treasure 'Zhu Yan' can be unleashed!
"Yu Ling Master."
Xi Yun Master, who held a very high position in the Flying Spirit Alliance, spoke, "Now that the last component of 'Zhu Yan' has fallen into the hands of the Human Alliance, we must pay a price to retrieve it."
"This is the last component of 'Zhu Yan'; we cannot give up!"
A Universe Master spoke, "Without that last component, the power of 'Zhu Yan' barely reaches the Pinnacle Arcana Treasure level."
'Zhu Yan' is a relatively high-quality Pinnacle Spirit Weapon Arcana Treasure, its value not lower than an ordinary quality Top-tier Domain type Arcana Treasure.
In the Treasure Vault of the Human Race, Pinnacle Arcana Treasure weapons start at 1200 Arcana Treasure Points for exchange, while Top-tier Domain type Arcana Treasures start at 2000 Arcana Treasure Points!
The exchange price alone can determine the value gap between the two.
'Zhu Yan' is a Spirit Weapon, and its value is often higher than ordinary weapons, but its value being equivalent to a Top-tier Domain type Arcana Treasure is enough to show how formidable it is!
"Indeed, we cannot give up."
The Yu Ling Master slowly spoke, "The Human Void River Master is quite powerful. Among the Alliance members who can suppress Void River Master, only I, Xi Jun, and Fan Niao can."
The Flying Spirit Alliance has fifteen Universe Masters: only one Fifth-rank, two fourth-order, three third-order, and the rest are second-order Universe Masters.
The Human Void River Master, though a newly risen Universe Master, possesses the strength to suppress the Overflowing Devil Master and the Yu Chi Master, both third-order Top-tier.
Therefore, only fourth- and Fifth-rank Universe Masters in the Flying Spirit Alliance can suppress him.
"I'll make a trip to the Original Star then."
At this moment, Fan Niao Lord interjected, "The Alliance gave 'Zhu Yan' to me to use, so it should also be me who retrieves the last component."
"There's no time. You must immediately rush to the 10000th Original Star. Even with the best route, it will take 2 minutes and 48 seconds."
Xi Jun Lord said in a deep voice, "This time is enough for the Human Void River Master to seize the treasure and leave the Original Star."
"Sigh..."
Fan Niao Lord sighed lightly, somewhat helpless.
The characteristics of the Original Star dictate that time is extremely important; a few seconds can determine the ownership of a treasure, let alone nearly three minutes!
"Fan Niao, don't offer your original Pinnacle Arcana Treasure weapon to the Alliance yet."
The Yu Ling Master said softly, "The Original Star has only been open for 100,000 years; there's still a long time."
"Perhaps there will be a time when we also need to seize components from the Hong Alliance; then, we can completely use it as an exchange."
"If the Original Star closes and we still haven't retrieved the component..."
Finally, the Yu Ling Master frowned and said, "Then we'll have to pay some more."
"That's the only way..."
Fan Niao Lord nodded slightly; this was also a helpless move.
Treasures that appear on the Original Star.
Especially some Top-tier Domain types or set Arcana Treasures, as well as Pinnacle Spirit Weapons, are often incomplete when they appear, requiring components to be seized to enhance their power.
This means that every time the Original Star opens, many strong individuals fall due to the struggle over Heavy Treasure components.
It is common for some Alliance forces to be blackmailed by other Alliance forces over a certain Heavy Treasure component.
Now, it was just their Flying Spirit Alliance's turn.
...
10000th Original Star.
"Hmph, you're sensible."
Ender saw Venerable Peifeng hand over the silver moon blade and remotely manipulated the treasure to fly using his Immortal Energy.
Without a Universe Master interfering with space-time control, his Immortal Energy was enough to remotely cover the entire Original Star and easily kill Advanced Venerables and most Universe Overlords.
However, to brand a life imprint on a Arcana Treasure and claim it, one must be at close range.
On the other side.
Venerable Peifeng watched the silver moon blade fly away, his heart seemingly bleeding, yet he was helpless.
"This is a component of the Pinnacle Arcana Treasure 'Zhu Yan'!"
He said painfully, "If I could bring it back to the Alliance, I would surely receive a reward, but now..."
The Northern Territory Alliance is very aggressive in contending for treasures, sometimes fighting desperately.
If the one trying to seize the treasure were a Top-tier Universe Overlord, he would certainly fight them to the death.
But the opponent was... a Universe Master!
Facing such a great existence as a Universe Master, and one whose strength was no less than his teacher's, Void River Master, he could only obediently hand over the treasure.
"Sigh..."
Venerable Peifeng sighed inwardly, "I hope the Alliance can understand."
Actually, his worry was unnecessary; the Northern Territory Alliance naturally understood his predicament.
One must know that Ender's strength is publicly recognized as a third-order Pinnacle Universe Master!
Let alone Venerable Peifeng, an ordinary Universe Overlord.
Even if a second-order Universe Master like Mi Yu Master had seized the treasure and faced Ender directly, if he didn't hand over the treasure, he would still not escape the fate of falling!
"The treasure is in hand."
Ender rushed towards the treasure, simultaneously informing the Hong Alliance's Universe Venerables through his Immortal Energy Avatar.
"Haha, the treasure has fallen into the hands of the Hong Alliance."
"To seize a treasure from the Northern Territory Alliance is worth a big drink back home!"
"What kind of treasure is this, that it could make Void River Master arrive?"
"That's a component of 'Zhu Yan', the strongest treasure born on the Original Star in the past 100,000 years. It's naturally worth Void River Master arriving to seize it."
"The Flying Spirit Alliance's Pinnacle Arcana Treasure 'Zhu Yan'? A component actually fell into our Hong Alliance's hands."
After learning that the treasure was in hand, the Universe Venerables in that special plane of the Virtual Universe began to chat.
Some Universe Venerables still didn't know what treasure they were supposed to seize from the Northern Territory Alliance this time, but some had learned through Venerable Peifeng.
Just as the Universe Venerables thought the matter was over and they could immediately leave the 10000th Original Star...
Boom!
A towering figure descended from a distant Original Star Channel, disturbing Ender's control over space and time.
"A Universe Master has arrived."
Ender's expression changed slightly, not expecting a Universe Master to arrive so quickly.
"Hehe, Void River Master."
A voice resounded in the ears of almost everyone on the entire 10000th Original Star, "This component of 'Zhu Yan' cannot be taken by you so easily."
"Sky Wolf Master!"
Ender's eyes flashed with cold light, "Are you trying to buy time for the Northern Territory Alliance?"
Due to the Sky Wolf Master's interference with space-time control, Ender's Immortal Energy could not cover super long distances.
"Seize the treasure!"
Ender issued an order to the Hong Alliance's Advanced Venerables team, and at the same time, he also rushed towards the location of the treasure.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The Hong Alliance's Advanced Venerables team, having been tracking Venerable Peifeng, was some distance away from the silver moon blade.
"Haha! The treasure belongs to me!"
Venerable Peifeng laughed wildly; things had changed too quickly, catching him off guard.
But fortunately, he was closest to the treasure, and with no space-time oppression, he could move freely.
Whoosh!
Venerable Peifeng burned his Immortal Energy, instantly bursting forth with extreme speed, turning into a streak of light and flying towards the silver moon blade.
"Stop him!"
"Don't let him seize the treasure!"
Nearly twenty Advanced Venerables quickly rushed towards the silver moon blade, while others attacked with their Spirit Weapon Arcana Treasures, intending to stop Venerable Peifeng.
"Hmph! Do you think you can stop me from seizing the treasure?"
Venerable Peifeng let out a cold snort. A moment later, he was the first to approach the silver moon blade, touching it with his palm and instantly branding a life imprint.
Although Ender's space-time control was interfered with, he learned through the communications of the Hong Alliance's Universe Venerables that the silver moon blade had been taken by Venerable Peifeng.
However, he did not show anger; instead, he was quite calm.
Because he received a message through his Immortal Energy Avatar: the Hong Alliance's Swallow Eagle Master was about to arrive!
