I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Just as the Demon Ancestor Zhen and the Demon Ancestor Meng of the Demon Race were discussing, Luo Yuan suddenly appeared not far from them. He then calmly walked over and stood in the endless starry sky, looking at the two enormous true forms of the Demon Ancestors and said, "Two Demon Ancestors of the Demon Race, you suffered heavy losses in this war with our human race. Five Universe Lords are now in my hands. Don't you want to redeem them? I'm here to negotiate. I hope you can sit down and talk."

At this moment, when the Demon Ancestors Meng and Zhen of the Demon Clan saw that Luo Yuan dared to come to them alone, their anger and killing intent almost materialized. However, they did not make a move immediately because they knew that they could not deal with Luo Yuan at this moment. Luo Yuan already possessed the combat power of a peak Universe Lord, and he also had several supreme treasures, especially the Tomb Ship, whose defensive power was invincible.

If Luo Yuan wanted to leave, even if these powerful demons joined forces, it would be useless, let alone kill him. Moreover, what appeared now was only an avatar. They could hardly imagine how strong Luo Yuan's true body was. Perhaps he already possessed the strength to fight them head-on. However, judging from the information they had received, Luo Yuan's true body had always been very cautious and prudent. At this moment, it was very likely that he was in the Primordial Universe, and they could not break in.

The two demon ancestors originally only wanted to threaten the human race by capturing other universe masters, because the human race was very united, unlike the demon race which maintained its relationship purely through power. That's why they took these actions. But in fact, the demon race was defeated, and utterly defeated.

Zhen Yaozu stared at Luo Yuan, feeling quite jealous. They already knew Luo Yuan's true identity. After all, there were many spies among the top forces in the Primordial Universe, and there were only a few newly emerging peerless geniuses among the human race. After some analysis, they guessed Luo Yuan's identity. However, Luo Yuan had already grown up, and there was nothing they could do. Moreover, with Luo Yuan around, as long as the human race did not perish, it would definitely surpass them in the future.

Therefore, Zhen Yaozu and Meng Yaozu were somewhat envious of the human race. First, they had a Primordial Ancestor who suppressed all the peak experts in the Universe Sea, and now Luo Yuan has appeared. It seems that there is also a human expert named Luo Feng who has great potential. After all, Luo Feng has made quite a name for himself in the Ancestral Mystic Realm and has strength comparable to the Lord of the Universe. However, Luo Yuan and the Chaos City Lord discussed and secretly cultivated Luo Feng as a potential expert.

The human powerhouses like Luo Yuan, who have fully matured, are charging into battle at the front lines to pave the way for future human geniuses. Only through continuous inheritance can the human race go far. After all, the younger generation of a race is extremely important. Only with the continuous emergence of powerful figures can there be a future.

Although Zhen Yaozu had mixed feelings, he still spoke up: "Human Hunyuan, tell me, what do you want in exchange for the release of my clan's powerful warriors?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan simply smiled and said, "We don't need anything from you this time, just a vow from you to withdraw from this battle against our human race. The timeframe is one era. During this period, your experts above the level of Universe Lord are not allowed to attack our human race. How about that?"

In fact, Luo Yuan knew that this great war against the human race would not last that long. After all, in the universe, the competition is about peak combat power. The other strong people are no match for the super strong people. If the war started, it would end in a hundred years at most. However, Luo Yuan set a time limit of one era. In fact, in order to ensure that the human race had enough time to develop, as long as the human race gave birth to a new strongest person in the universe, then all the problems would be solved.

Zhen Yaozu was somewhat surprised by the conditions Luo Yuan offered, but he didn't think it would be that simple. So he asked, "If we agree, will you immediately release all the captured Universe Lords of our race? If so, we can consider it."

Luo Yuan sneered inwardly upon hearing this. These two demon ancestors of the demon race were really dreaming. He said, "Of course not. If you agree to my conditions, I can guarantee the safety of your five universe lords. After one era, I will hand them over to you."

Zhen Yaozu snorted coldly upon hearing this, "I knew you had no good intentions. What if you become stronger after an era and then deny everything? I know you're short of time to develop right now. Moreover, the inheritance you obtained from the Duan Donghe lineage contains secret techniques for transcending reincarnation. If my demon race gives up, and your human race is divided up by other forces, wouldn't our demon race suffer a huge loss? Don't you think so? I feel like you're just playing us for fools."

Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "No, no, Your Majesty Zhen Yaozu, you're overthinking things. You saw our strength in the previous battle between our human race and your demon race. It would be very difficult for any force in the primordial universe to wipe out our human race. Moreover, I don't believe that your demon race's so-called promise will be effective. After all, I don't know what kind of character you have. Just withdraw from the battle against our human race, and everything will be returned to you."

The Demon Ancestor Zhen and Demon Ancestor Meng of the Demon Race knew that things weren't so simple. It would be strange if the human Primordial Lord in front of them agreed to their demands so easily. After all, what did so-called face and morality matter compared to absolute interests? If the human race released their five Universe Lords, they could immediately turn against them. At this moment, the two Demon Ancestors were communicating with each other through divine sense. Demon Ancestor Meng looked at Demon Ancestor Zhen and asked, "Should we agree to this human's demands?"

Zhen Yaozu coldly said, "What do you mean by 'agree'? My demon race has more than twenty universe lords, and the strongest ones, such as the Lord of Annihilation, are still alive and well. We have only lost six universe lords. Compared to the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage obtained by the human race's Hunyuan, what is that? My demon race can afford it. That is a secret technique that can transcend reincarnation. It is a priceless treasure for any race and represents the future of a race. Otherwise, the ancestors of the two holy lands would have valued it so much."

Moreover, with you and me, the two strongest beings in the universe, guarding the Demon Race, what need do we have to fear from other forces in the Primordial Universe? We can cultivate future Universe Lords gradually; our race still has many outstanding Universe Venerables. But this opportunity to compete for the secret technique to transcend reincarnation only comes once; we cannot miss it. I believe the six Universe Lords of our race who perished understand; their glory was for the future splendor of the Demon Race, and their deaths were worthy of it.”

When Dream Demon Ancestor heard Zhen Demon Ancestor's words, he nodded. Compared to the resources and secret techniques possessed by the human race, the lives of those five universe lords were nothing. Their demon race was originally composed of various races. As long as their race was not lost, the loss of the other universe lords was no big deal.

At this moment, Luo Yuan stood on the Milky Way and looked at the two demon ancestors of the demon race with some impatience, saying, "Have you two thought this through? You know that our human race is not so easy to bully. We still have a backup plan. If your demon race really wants to fight to the death with our race, in the end your demon race will also be destroyed. You should know that the other forces in the primordial universe are all watching you. They are all like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Ancestor of the Demon Race remained unmoved. Instead, he coldly looked at Luo Yuan and said, "Human Hunyuan, stop talking. My Demon Race will not agree to this. This time, your human race has already become food for all the forces in the Primordial Universe. How could we give up? I don't think your human race has any backup plans. Now that your Primordial Ancestor has been permanently suppressed and the Giant Axe has fallen, what do you have left without the protection of the strongest in the universe?"

"No matter how strong your human race is, how can you possibly contend with all the forces of the primordial universe? Even with the giant axe, it's useless. Humanity is destined for extinction. Even if you miraculously survive and break through to become the strongest in the universe, what can you do when faced with an attack from all the strongest beings in the universe?"

Luo Yuan sneered and said, "Zhen Yao Zu, you really think too much. Do you think I would deal with the first race if I broke through to the strongest in the universe? Let me tell you the truth, even now, no one in the entire universe can kill me. When I break through to the strongest in the universe, I will settle accounts with all the forces that have dealt with my human race. I don't mind leaving only my human race in the original universe."

Zhen Yaozu was only slightly taken aback by Luo Yuan's extremely confident words, but he quickly made up his mind. He didn't know what gave Luo Yuan the confidence, but he felt uneasy. After all, Luo Yuan's potential and strength did indeed make that possible. If that were the case, it would be the end of all forces except for the human race. But Zhen Yaozu was the strongest in the universe. How could he lose face in front of a junior? He just snorted and left with Meng Yaozu.

Chapter 416 The Strength of the Human Race

Seeing that the two demon ancestors of the demon race chose to leave without hesitation when faced with his conditions, showing no intention of redeeming the five universe lords, Luo Yuan felt the ruthlessness of the demon race. He could only sigh that these two guys were so cruel to their own people. These were five universe lords, not cabbages. You have to know that it takes a huge price for a race to cultivate a universe lord.

However, a hint of worry flashed in Luo Yuan's eyes. This negotiation with the demon race showed how attractive the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage that he had obtained was to them. They were even willing to lose several universe lords to obtain it. Luo Yuan could imagine that other super powers would also be extremely eager for the inheritance in his hands, not to mention those second-tier powers and the strongest lone universe beings.

After all, what power in the entire universe wouldn't want the secret method to transcend reincarnation? Even if Luo Yuan told them that even if he wanted to give it to them, they wouldn't be able to obtain it, they wouldn't believe it. Moreover, the content of this secret method to transcend reincarnation is not something Luo Yuan can decipher at his current level, since his realm is still that of a universe master. Among these forces, even the Ancestral God Sect, which once promised to make Luo Yuan the next Ancestral God, would make a move, since the benefits would be too great.

No matter how good the relationship, it is insignificant in the face of absolute interests and the future of the race. This made Luo Yuan think of Zuo Shan Ke, a former God King. The secret techniques of the Duan Donghe lineage in Zuo Shan Ke's possession did not attract him much, but Zuo Shan Ke could offer him some information that would be helpful to him in exchange for his protection of the human race. Although Luo Yuan knew that Zuo Shan Ke was only paying special attention to him because he could help him return to the Origin Continent.

When faced with a crisis for the human race, Zuo Shan Ke might not necessarily lend a hand, but Luo Yuan still decided to give it a try. Now that Luo Yuan is the current controller of the Duan Donghe lineage, he can decide everything. However, the rules established by previous Duan Donghe lineages are difficult for Luo Yuan to break with his current strength. But once he reaches that level of strength, he will eventually be the one to set the rules.

However, within the lineage of Duan Donghe, Bei Feng can fully understand the entire specific training and breakthrough process from martial artist to the strongest in the universe. Moreover, it can serve as the basis for his plan to cultivate human strong individuals. He believes that as long as the human race has this most scientific training system from the ancient civilization era, more and more super strong individuals will be born in the future. As for Zuo Shanke, the experience of those who surpass the strongest in the universe can be used as a reference.

Luo Yuan understood that he was the most suitable person to help Zuo Shan Ke launch a counterattack against the Origin Continent. In addition, he had a master-disciple relationship with Zuo Shan Ke, and even the Earth lineage that Luo Yuan belonged to was created by Zuo Shan Ke at a huge cost. If Luo Yuan personally stepped forward, Zuo Shan Ke would still give him face. If Zuo Shan Ke was willing to step forward to protect the human race, then everything would be fine, even if it was just nominal support, since Zuo Shan Ke had a great reputation.

Since negotiations with the demon race failed, Luo Yuan saw no need to stay. He decided to return to the initial universe to observe the reactions of other forces before formulating a response plan. In addition to resisting the attacks of various forces in the original universe, the human race also needed to implement the human future development plan as soon as possible.

At this moment, in the core of the demon race, the Demon Ancestor's Secret Realm, which is also a small universe of the two demon ancestors, the divine power avatars of the five universe masters captured by Luo Yuan were all prostrating themselves, begging for the rescue of the two demon ancestors. If their true bodies perished, these divine power avatars would also disappear, and they would be completely gone. Therefore, they were all crying hysterically. They had finally managed to cultivate to the level of universe masters.

Even if the demon race doesn't transcend reincarnation and become a holy universe, these universe masters can still exist for two more cycles of civilization. Therefore, they are unwilling to perish just like that. In the previous battle with the human race, they were just bystanders and didn't even have a chance to resist. Later, they were captured and suppressed by the human race in a daze. If the two demon ancestors of the demon race are unwilling to help them, then they are doomed, and the human race will definitely annihilate them.

At this moment, Zhen Yaozu and Meng Yaozu also looked troubled. Zhen Yaozu said coldly, "It's not that we don't want to save you, but I really can't agree to the demands made by the human race. You also know how important the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage possessed by that human Hunyuan Lord is to our race. It concerns the future of the demon race. Moreover, that human Hunyuan Lord will definitely take your original bodies to the primordial universe of the ancestor."

At that time, it will only be a thought for humans to annihilate you. Even we can't break in, so we have no choice. It's not that we don't want to save you, it's that we can't. We hope you can understand. We will remember the contributions you have made to the demon race, and future generations will be proud of you.

Upon hearing the words of the Demon Ancestor, the five Demon Lords, including the Lord of Sirius, all wore expressions of despair. Their strength was among the lowest of the Demon Lords, and it was clear that their value was not enough to make the two Demon Ancestors make concessions. After all, the secret technique that allowed the human race to transcend reincarnation was far more important than themselves. If they were the Demon Ancestors, they would have given the same order. They could only blame their bad luck and weak strength.

The two demon ancestors of the demon race were not worried that these five universe masters would be controlled by the human race, such as by using soul secret techniques to turn them into servants. After all, the soul will and divine power of the universe masters have reached a limit, and it is impossible for other universe masters to do this unless they are the strongest in the universe. However, the human race no longer has any strongest universe masters who can act. Therefore, the fate of these five universe masters is to be annihilated.

At this time, Luo Yuan and the others had returned to the original universe of the Primordial Ancestor. The universe masters of the human race were gathered in the council hall of the city lord's mansion in Chaos City. When the city lord of Chaos learned that the two demon ancestors of the demon race had rejected the human race's reconciliation request, he said angrily: "This demon race is really cold-blooded and ruthless, and also extremely greedy. The five universe masters of my race just said they didn't want it. They are determined to obtain the inheritance resources of my human race."

Now, everyone is spreading news of the great war between the demon race and our human race to other forces through various channels. In particular, the losses suffered by the demon race in this war should also be spread. I want them to know that the human race is not without the power to resist, and this will also serve as a warning to them.

The human universe lords below nodded in agreement. They were also furious at the greed of the demon race. Even in their current state, the demon race was still obsessed with human resources. Although the demon race had two of the strongest beings in the universe, the human race was not without the ability to resist. So let's continue the battle.

The Chaos City Lord looked at the Human Race's Universe Lords and said, "The Primordial Ancestor's virtual universe covers the entire Primordial Universe and has countless intelligence points. We can use these intelligence points to immediately spread the news of the Demon Race's great defeat. Now let's discuss how to deal with these five Demon Race Universe Lords. Since the Demon Race doesn't want them anymore, it would be a waste to just kill them like this. Now everyone can try to see if we can control them."

At this moment, the human universe masters present were also eager to try. The failure of the negotiations with the demon race this time showed the attitude of the other forces in the original universe. They were extremely envious of the resources possessed by the human race, especially the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage owned by Luo Yuan. They would not give up just because they lost some universe masters. This also meant that the battle had just begun and the previous battle with the demon race was only the beginning.

Moreover, the reason why the human race was able to achieve such results was also because the demon race did not understand the supreme treasures and combat power that the human race now possessed. The battles to come will only be more difficult, but the human race cannot fail and can only face it. They underestimated the greed of those forces in the original universe for the secret method of transcending reincarnation. Therefore, the human race's universe lords felt an invisible pressure. If they could control the souls of these five demon race universe lords...

This would increase the combat power of the human race, so the Dark Lord, who had extremely high attainments in soul magic, decided to be the first to try it.

Just as the human race's powerful figures were spreading messages through the virtual universe, the strongest beings of the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race gathered again to discuss their next course of action. At this moment, in the deserted starry sky, there were still the same three figures: the Dream Demon Ancestor of the demon race, the insect queen, and the father god of the machine race, which was the black metal planet. However, what came was only his will avatar. As soon as they met, the leaders of the insect race and the machine race asked for news.

A deep, urgent voice emanated from the black metallic planet of the Machine Race: "Dream Tea Demon Ancestor, what happened between you and the Human Race?"

The Dream Demon Ancestor, originally named Dream Tea, looked somewhat listless with its silver-white snake body beside it. It sighed and said, "I suppose the human race is spreading news of the previous great war everywhere. Our three races went out together to deal with the human race, but my demon race was the first to come into contact with the human race's strongmen. Then a great war broke out between my demon race and the human race. We didn't know the human race's bottom line. In this war, we lost six Universe Lords."

In fact, when these three races went to attack the human race, they were all cautious. After all, they didn't know how strong the human race was now, especially whether the human race's ancestor had left any trump cards for the human race. Moreover, if Luo Yuan possessed the inheritance and secret treasures of the Duan Donghe lineage, and had any means to deal with the strongest beings in the universe, it would be troublesome if they attacked without understanding the situation. Therefore, they were all extremely careful.

The three races advanced along different routes, and whichever side encountered the human race first was entirely a matter of luck. They dared not rashly start the ultimate inter-race war. Now that the demon race was leading a great war against the human race, the high-ranking members of the insect race and the machine race naturally wanted to find out information about the human race from the demon race.

When the Zerg Queen and the Machine God heard that the Demon Race had lost six Universe Lords at the hands of the Human Race, they were both extremely surprised. They could hardly believe their ears. The Zerg Queen also asked urgently, "Tell us about the situation of the Human Race. Why are they so powerful? Do they have some trump cards that we don't know about? The Human Race no longer has the protection of the strongest beings in the universe. What makes those Universe Lords so powerful?"

The Dream Demon Ancestor also sighed, "We didn't expect that the human race's universe lords would be so powerful. I dare say that if one of our three races were to fight against the human race, the human race would definitely win in the end. You would suffer heavy losses just like my demon race. The reason why the human race is so powerful this time is largely due to the newly risen Primordial Lord, who is actually the genius Luo Yuan who has existed for billions of epochs."

You must have already obtained some information. Back then, our three races sent ten Venerables to the outer battlefield to kill this person. At that time, he was just a minor Immortal God. Now we can be sure that what fell back then was only an avatar of his. In this race war, only an avatar of his went to fight. However, this avatar of his actually has the strength of a sixth-order peak Universe Lord, and also possesses several supreme treasures.

At the very beginning of the battle, Luo Yuan's clone killed two of my demon race's universe lords with a single slash. Afterwards, he captured several more universe lords. However, since several of my demon race's universe lords had clones, after the self-destruction, five of them ended up in the hands of the human race. If one of the two universe lords who were killed at the beginning had not had a clone, then our final loss would not have been six, but seven.

The human Luo Yuan's swordsmanship was incredibly powerful. I suspect it might even surpass the level of the strongest swordsmen in the universe, perhaps a secret technique inherited from the Duan Donghe lineage. Furthermore, the human Lord Peng Gong and the Lord of Darkness each possessed a supreme treasure. The Lord of Darkness possessed the Black Prison Tower, a palace-type supreme treasure from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe. I suspect that Luo Yuan also obtained these two supreme treasures from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land.”

While the Dream Demon Ancestor seemed to be speaking in great detail, he didn't reveal how the five Demon Race Universe Lords were captured by Luo Yuan, nor did he disclose the news that Luo Yuan's Tomb Ship possessed a will-shattering ability. After all, what the Dream Demon Ancestor said could be known as soon as the Mechanical Race, the Insect Race, and the Human Race came into contact. However, the terrifying will-shattering ability of the Tomb Ship had caused the Demon Race heavy losses this time, and for the sake of the Demon Race's status in the Primordial Universe, it needed a balance of power.

Therefore, given the heavy losses suffered by the demon race, the Dream Demon Ancestor also wanted the insect race and the mechanical race to suffer a similar heavy loss. This was not for the sake of the human race, but for the sake of the demon race itself. After all, these three races were usually enemies, and this time they had only formed a loose alliance.

So after exchanging information, the three races also began to spread the news of the fall of the human race's giant axe founder in the primordial universe. After all, the Prison Clan was also plotting behind the scenes. They wanted other super powers to test the limits of the human race's strength. But at this time, news of a great war between the demon race and the human race also spread. This time, the demon race's two strongest demon ancestors led ten universe lords to attack the human race.

In a very short exchange, the demon race was defeated, losing six universe lords. Even the two demon ancestors were seriously injured. The human race, on the other hand, suffered no losses and won easily, seemingly crushing the demon race. This news shocked the other forces in the primordial universe, even the demon ancestor of the Prison Clan who orchestrated the events behind the scenes was dumbfounded.

Chapter 417 Watching with eager eyes

At this moment, in a magnificent temple on the ancestral mountain of the Prison Clan, sat the Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan, who was also the only strongest being in the universe among the Prison Clan. Below him sat the various universe lords of the Prison Clan. They had different appearances; some were like flames, some were pure rocks, and some were humanoid beings. However, they all undoubtedly had a strong aura of killing intent. At this moment, they were waiting for the battle report from the front.

The Prison Clan's strength in the primordial universe was only average, weaker than the four top races, including the Human Race. However, they were the first to discover the fall of the Human Race's Giant Axe Founder. Out of caution, the Prison Clan's Demon Ancestor spread the news of the Giant Axe's fall to the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race, hoping to get these three races to test the current strength of the Human Race. After all, he didn't know if the Human Race had any trump cards, and he wanted to play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Just as these powerful members of the Prison Clan were waiting, two Prison Clan Universe Race members present suddenly opened their eyes. They had obtained information about the battle between the Human Race and the Demon Race from their intelligence point in the Human Race's virtual universe, so they immediately reported to the Prison Clan Demon Ancestor on the throne. The first to speak was the Prison Clan's Lord of the Demons, who respectfully said to the Prison Clan Demon Ancestor: "Demon Ancestor, we have obtained information about the Human Race. Not long ago, the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race..."

Upon receiving news of the fall of the human race's Giant Axe Founder, the three races each dispatched ten Universe Lords, led by their strongest beings, to attack the human race's territory. However, the first force they encountered was the demon race's army, led by the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor. The human race, on the other hand, only had a dozen or so Universe Lords. In a single encounter, the demon race suffered heavy losses.

The demon race lost six universe lords, including those possessing supreme treasures, while the human race suffered no losses. It was a completely one-sided victory. The demon race's powerful figures were led by the nose by the human universe lords; even the two demon ancestors were injured.

As soon as the Lord of the Demonic Eyes finished speaking, the highest temple of the Prison Clan fell silent, and all the powerful members of the Prison Clan present showed expressions of shock.

After a long while, the Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan on the throne murmured, "As expected, the human race really does have trump cards. How can a top-tier race be so easy to deal with? I was smart not to go looking for trouble with them right away. The demon race can be said to be the strongest of the three races. Two of the strongest beings in the universe, who possess the most powerful treasures, personally led the team, yet they still lost six universe lords. I don't know how the human race fought. I really envy them."

The powerful members of the Prison Clan present, apart from the Demon Ancestor, were also extremely shocked by the Lords of the Universe. The Lord of the Mind Demon, who received the news first, continued, "The reason I was able to receive this news first is because I have disciples who are cultivating at the headquarters of the Ancestral God Sect. They happen to have some connections with some powerful human beings, so I received the news while those human powerful beings were having a secret discussion."

It's said that the key to humanity's victory over the demon race lies with that Primordial Chaos Lord. That Primordial Chaos Lord of the human race received the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage, and now all the top experts in the entire universe know this. However, no one has ever seen him truly unleash his power. This time, with just his first strike, he directly annihilated two demon race universe lords, and the other demon race universe lords also suffered damage to their divine bodies. Even the two demon ancestors of the demon race couldn't directly withstand his blade.

Upon hearing the Demon Lord's words, all the powerful members of the Prison Clan present were stunned. They had not expected that the Human Primordial Lord was so strong. They had heard that this Primordial Lord was the peerless genius Luo Yuan, who had once caused the three peak clans, including the Demon Clan, to send ten Venerables to kill him. At that time, the Primordial Lord was only at the Immortal level. In less than ten eras, the Human Primordial Lord had become so strong. His growth rate was too terrifying, making them feel ashamed.

However, considering that Luo Yuan, the Human Race's Primordial Lord, was able to stand out among hundreds of thousands of candidates in the Cosmic Sea and ultimately obtain the core inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage, this demonstrated Luo Yuan's exceptional talent, making him one of the most outstanding among the various forces in the Cosmic Sea. It was not surprising that he could reach this level of strength in such a short time. However, they felt that even if Luo Yuan's talent was exceptional, he still needed time to cultivate and could not have grown so quickly.

The Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan, seated high on the throne, frowned and said in a low voice, "The existence of such an outstanding descendant as Hunyuan in the human race is truly enviable. If he had not perished, he would have become a major threat to us in the future. The fact that he was able to raise his strength to the point of being able to contend with the strongest beings in the universe in such a short time means that either some Primordial Ancestor left behind a backup plan, or it is a treasure passed down from the Duan Donghe lineage."

Just as these powerful members of the Prison Clan were talking, an extremely powerful aura suddenly descended, causing all the powerful figures in the temple to stop talking. They all looked towards the temple gate, even the Demon Ancestor on the throne looked solemnly at the entrance. A black stream of light came, and then a figure materialized. It turned out to be a skeleton wearing black armor, with a black flame burning in each of its empty eye sockets.

A powerful yet eerie aura spread out, causing the Prison Clan Universe Lords present to show expressions of fear, their massive bodies trembling. Beneath the skeletal figure, a huge, pitch-black throne materialized, and the skeletal figure sat down, his gaze coldly sweeping over all the Prison Clan powerhouses present. This was the Prison King, the invincible powerhouse of the Prison Clan, and also a peak Universe Lord, whose strength was second only to the Prison Ancestor and Demon Ancestor.

All the universe lords of the Prison Clan present rose to pay their respects to the Prison King. Even the Prison Clan Demon Ancestor showed a rare gentle smile. This Prison King appeared when the primordial universe was born. He was older than the Prison Clan itself and was a special life form, born eternally immortal. He not only possessed a divine body comparable to a supreme treasure, but also naturally possessed domain power, with power comparable to the strongest supreme treasure. He could be said to be extremely powerful.

Perhaps due to the suppression of the primordial will of the original universe, this Prison King, despite existing for countless epochs, has always remained at the level of a peak universe lord, unable to break through to become the strongest in the universe. However, his strength far surpasses that of those universe lords, and he is known as an indestructible being, making it extremely difficult to kill him. He is among the most outstanding in both divine body and soul will, truly a legendary powerhouse.

The Prison Clan had already established a considerable territory thanks to this Prison King in the early stages. Therefore, this Prison King was considered an ancestor-level powerhouse in the Prison Clan, and all the members of the Prison Clan admired and respected him greatly. Even the Lords of the Universe and the Demon Ancestors of the Prison Clan would give him face.

The Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan looked at the Prison King and laughed, "Prison King, you know about the human race, right? In particular, the inheritance of the Broken East River lineage obtained by that Primordial Lord is also an opportunity for you. You have been trapped at the level of the Lord of the Universe for so many epochs. It can help you make a breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, the Prison King nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I came here for. I have searched for information from countless eras, always trying to figure out the true nature of my special life form. Since the lineage of the Broken East River originates from the ancient civilization era, there may be records of information about my kind of life form. Only in this way can I know which path to take in the future, and only in this way can I climb to the highest realm and see a higher view."

Hearing the words of the Prison King, the Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan sensed the Prison King's ambition and pursuit of a higher realm and strength. This pleased the Demon Ancestor greatly, as the Prison King held a very high position in the Prison Clan. He was always obedient to orders but not to commands, and could act according to his own will, making him difficult to control. Since everyone had the same goal this time, it would be perfect to use the Prison King for his own purposes. Even if he were to perish in a battle with the Primordial Lord of the Human Race, the Demon Ancestor would not feel any pity.

The King of Hell also abandoned his usual aloofness. Now that he had something to ask of the Demon Ancestor, he took the initiative to say, "This time, I will be at the Demon Ancestor's beck and call."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan was in high spirits, and he said directly: "This operation is of great importance, but we cannot take risks blindly. After all, we are not the only forces that want to obtain the inheritance of the Broken East River lineage. So this time, you, the Prison King, will lead the Prison Clan's Universe Lord to the human territory in secret. But we cannot act immediately. We can observe first. I believe that the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race will join forces next."

"You only need to see if the human race can withstand this three-race siege. If the human race is strong enough to hold them off, then you should return to avoid losses. But if the human race is defeated, then contact me immediately. I will lead the main force of the Prison Clan to divide the resources. Your main role this time is as vanguard and scouts. If you can occupy the human race's territory, then you will also receive a copy of the inheritance of the Broken East River lineage."

Upon hearing this, the black flames in the Prison King's eye sockets flickered. He nodded, which was considered his agreement. As a special type of life form, he not only had a long lifespan but also used unpredictable methods. He was also a very steady and powerful being. Basically, the powerful members of the Prison Clan had inherited this fine tradition from him. Therefore, this Prison King was not a reckless being. He rarely left the territory of the Prison Clan and even ventured into the Cosmic Sea very few times.

This Prison King possesses indestructible qualities and is favored by the primordial will in the original universe. It is unlikely that he will perish, after all, he is one of the first naturally born beings in the original universe. However, it would be more dangerous for him to go to the Cosmic Sea, especially since some environments in the three forbidden zones have a restraining effect on this Prison King. They can annihilate him or suppress him permanently. That is why he rarely goes out and has been cultivating in the Prison Clan.

At this moment, besides the Prison Clan, there were other super powers, such as the Crystal Clan, who were discussing something similar to the Prison Clan's. In the Crystal Clan's highest temple, fifteen Universe Lords and one of the strongest beings in the universe sat in a circle on their respective thrones.

These powerful figures of the Crystal Clan were all formed from beautiful crystals. Their figures and appearances were like works of art. The most striking feature was the golden eye between their eyebrows, which emitted terrifying power. These sixteen figures were the controllers and decision-makers of the Crystal Clan.

The Crystal Clan Holy Lord, seated on the highest throne, looked at the cosmic lords around him and said, "We received two pieces of information from the human race this time. What are your thoughts on this?"

"My Lord, the other resources that the human race has obtained are one thing, but the main thing is that the human race's Primordial Lord has obtained the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage. That has a secret method that allows the strongest beings in the universe to transcend reincarnation and advance to the Holy Land universe. It must also contain a secret method that allows us universe lords to break through to the strongest beings in the universe. Moreover, I have decided that this time the human race can make the demon race lose six universe lords without any casualties, and can also repel two demon ancestors."

I suspect this is related to the inheritance they obtained from the Duan Donghe lineage. They must have acquired powerful secret techniques and supreme treasures from it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Crystal Clan. If my clan can obtain this inheritance from the Duan Donghe lineage, the Crystal Clan will surely rise to power. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty send out powerful warriors to fight. We can wait until the humans, demons, insects, and machines are almost finished fighting before making our move.”

At this moment, the universe lords of the Crystal Races excitedly expressed their thoughts. In their view, no matter how strong the human race was, it could not possibly be a match for the other forces of the original universe when they joined forces, even without the protection of the strongest beings in the universe. It would be difficult for just one force to deal with the human race, but it would be hard to say if so many races joined forces. There must be many races that shared the same idea as them, but they were all watching to see the outcome of the battle between the three races of the Demon Race and the human race.

The Holy Lord of the Crystal Clan nodded as he listened to the words of the universe lords under his command. He also felt that this was an opportunity. If they could obtain the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage, even just a little bit would be a huge gain. So he directly ordered, "In that case, I order the Crystal Clan to immediately enter a state of preparation for war. But we cannot fight blindly. We should first observe the battle situation between the three races of the demon race and the human race before deciding whether to join this great war."

The Crystal Clan's Universe Lords present nodded excitedly in agreement, showing great interest in the secret method to break through to become the strongest in the universe.

At this time, various forces in the primordial universe also received information about the fall of the human race's giant axe founder and the war between the demon race. There were quite a few forces like the Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Not only were there the nine super forces, but also those second-tier alliance forces, and even those lone strongest beings in the universe. What they cared about most was the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage that Luo Yuan obtained, which contained secret techniques and hope that would allow them to advance further.
