Among the more than one thousand powerful experts who besieged Luo Fan this time, quite a few were King-level powerhouses.
These people mainly came in hopes of picking up scraps.
The rest were all Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords.
The number of Universe Overlords was not particularly large.
After all, it was still extremely difficult for a Venerable to reach the level of a Universe Overlord.
With the avatar's current strength, and because it could also unleash Annihilation Divine Light,
dealing with some Universe Venerables was not a problem.
It could even barely injure Universe Overlords.
However, if it came to killing them instantly, only the Space Worm avatar could do that.
More than ten thousand avatars, together with the Space Worm avatar, unleashed spatial lockdown, completely sealing off the surrounding space.
Although they could not fully override the domain-type supreme treasures and restrict the speed of those powerhouses,
there were still a few Universe Overlords who had mastered time acceleration whom Luo Fan could not stop.
Even so, more than ninety-nine percent of the powerhouses were kept behind by Luo Fan.
There were even a few who, because the avatar's strength was relatively weaker, were directly annihilated into dormancy.
Luo Fan directly stored those dozen or so dormant Universe Venerables into his World Ring, planning to enslave them after returning.
After a few Universe Overlords escaped, the rest either died or fell into dormancy.
Luo Fan had no intention of lingering there.
After taking a King-level slave out of the World Ring, he directly ordered the slave to use Divine Kingdom Teleportation to send him back to the human race.
This battle also allowed Luo Fan to clearly understand his own strength.
It was basically equivalent to a top-tier Universe Overlord.
For some Universe Overlords with relatively small divine bodies, once the true body or the Space Worm avatar unleashed Annihilation Divine Light, they could be killed instantly.
…
Very soon, news of Luo Fan's battle record spread.
Everyone who heard this news and knew the information about Sky Whale King was utterly shocked.
Previously, when Sky Whale King killed four Invincible King-level experts, it could still be said that he relied on a domain-type supreme treasure.
But this time, he had slain a large number of Universe Venerables and dozens of Universe Overlords.
That was no longer something that could be accomplished by relying on a treasure alone.
In an instant, Sky Whale King, or rather, he should now be called Annihilation Overlord, once again became the focus of discussion among the powerful.
Yes, no one believed that Luo Fan had not yet broken through to the Venerable level.
After all, an existence capable of instantly killing Universe Overlords had to be at least a top-tier Universe Overlord.
Otherwise, instant-killing a Universe Overlord would be completely impossible.
Moreover, he was a powerful figure even among top-tier Universe Overlords.
In the universe, there had never before been a precedent of an Immortal instantly killing a Universe Overlord.
Therefore, everyone believed that Sky Whale King had already broken through to become a Venerable.
As for Sky Whale King's title, it was changed to Annihilation Overlord.
This was because after Luo Fan returned to Purple Thorn Island, he told Cold Sword King that the move was called Annihilation Divine Light.
Thus, his Venerable title became Annihilation Overlord.
Luo Fan had no intention of changing it.
In any case, once he mastered the Space Origin Law,
he would more or less possess the strength of a Universe Master.
When he truly reached the level of a Universe Master, he would choose a title for himself then.
Moreover, Annihilation Divine Light was indeed his strongest method at present, so this title was quite fitting.
As a result, he did not have the human race announce any other title.
…
It could be said that Luo Fan became famous and even obtained the title of Annihilation Overlord.
But the three races were utterly humiliated.
Many powerful experts in the universe knew very well,
that the reason this incident occurred in the first place was that the three races were the ones who provoked it.
Although other factions also had intentions of seizing treasures,
many of them were incited by the three races.
After all, the three races intended to seize this opportunity to kill Luo Fan,
making it impossible for him to use the glory points he had obtained.
However, they did not expect Luo Fan to possess such terrifying strength.
Under normal circumstances, having each of the three races send a Universe Overlord to assassinate Luo Fan was already an extravagant move.
After all, it was impossible to send a Universe Master to trade blows for a King-level Invincible like Sky Whale King.
Generally speaking, Beast God Path inheritors at the third level were all King-level.
Those at the fourth level were Venerables.
This was because comprehending the third level of the Beast God Path to perfection was roughly equivalent to the insight of a King-level peak expert.
Only the fourth level of the Beast God Path corresponded to Venerable-level insight.
Therefore, seeing that Sky Whale King's Beast God Path was still at the third level, many people naturally assumed that his strength had only reached King-level Invincible.
At most, due to a domain-type supreme treasure, he could rival a Venerable.
As long as a Universe Overlord-level soul master was dispatched, killing Sky Whale King was basically guaranteed.
And Sky Whale King's trip to the Ancestral God Secret Realm gave them an even better opportunity.
The three races' inheritors did not hesitate at all and directly incited powerhouses from other factions to join forces and kill Luo Fan.
If not for the lack of time, the three races might even have incited tens of thousands of Universe Venerables to besiege Luo Fan.
Other factions would not have refused either.
After all, Luo Fan possessed a treasure equivalent to a peak supreme treasure.
However, what they did not expect was that almost all the powerhouses they sent were wiped out.
Not only that, it also established the fearsome reputation of the Annihilation Overlord.
Now, even if the three races wanted to assassinate Luo Fan, they had no good options.
After all, against a top-tier Universe Overlord, unless a fourth-stage or fifth-stage Universe Master was sent to carry out the assassination,
it was basically impossible to kill him.
Moreover, within the Original Universe, as long as one could stall for a short while, the human race's Universe Masters could directly teleport over via their divine kingdoms.
The upper echelons of the three races knew this very well.
During this period, human Universe Masters had been staying within the Original Universe to resurrect those fallen King-level experts and Venerables.
They had not gone to the Universe Sea at all.
After all, during this time, no one had seen traces of the human race in the Universe Sea.
Therefore, the difficulty of killing the Annihilation Overlord was extremely high.
Unless… a Universe Supreme personally carried out the assassination.
However, this required careful long-term planning.
Universe Supremes rarely killed within the Original Universe.
This was because, from the moment life was born, the Original Universe continuously bestowed benefits upon it.
Only after breaking through to become a Universe Supreme, when the miniature universe was expelled, would the Original Universe stop bestowing.
Becoming a Universe Supreme was like separating the household.
Before becoming a Universe Supreme, it was like being an underage child of the Original Universe who still required care.
Therefore, if a Universe Supreme attacked a Universe Master or below within the Original Universe, the Original Universe would intervene.
Not only would their strength be suppressed, but if they successfully killed their target, they would also suffer punishment.
Only in the Universe Sea would the punishment be somewhat lighter.
This was also why Universe Supremes rarely took action within the Original Universe.
Furthermore, the Original Universe would also restrict the strength of these Universe Supremes to within the sixth stage.
That was to say, even if these Universe Supremes possessed seventh-stage or even eighth-stage strength in the Universe Sea,
within the Original Universe, they could only exert at most peak sixth-stage strength.
This was also why, back then, even though the Original Ancestor already possessed tenth-stage strength and had become a hegemon of the Universe Sea,
the human race still failed to unify the Original Universe and become its foremost faction.
If not for the strength restrictions within the Original Universe, the Original Ancestor would have long since slain the other factions' Universe Supremes and dominated the Original Universe.
After all, the Original Ancestor possessed tenth-stage soul attack power.
Even the Insect Queen who owned the Empress Palace would be instantly killed if she encountered the Original Ancestor.
Although some Universe Supremes in the Original Universe possessed supreme treasures,
none of them had soul-type supreme treasures.
Without soul-type supreme treasures, they would all be slaughtered before the Original Ancestor.
After the Universe Master stage, as long as one's strength exceeded the opponent's by three stages,
one could directly kill the opponent instantly.
If the gap was two stages, then under normal circumstances, the opponent could still be slain.
If the gap was only one stage, although the weaker side would be suppressed,
as long as the battle did not drag on for an extended period without a chance to escape, they could usually flee by paying a certain price.
In the Original Universe, aside from Sitting Mountain Guest, all Universe Supremes were at most eighth-stage.
The rest were only seventh-stage.
Therefore, if there were no restrictions in the Original Universe, even if the human race did not occupy the entire Original Universe,
the most core territories would certainly all belong to the human race.
It would not be like now, where they had to share with the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race.
In fact, because the Demon Race possessed two Universe Supremes,
the human race's territorial domain was now even slightly smaller than that of the Demon Race.
The most fundamental reason for all this was that Universe Supremes were restricted within the Original Universe.
Even in the Universe Sea, the situation was similar.
When a Universe Master broke through to become a Universe Supreme, just like an Immortal breaking through to a Venerable or a Venerable breaking through to a Universe Master, the quality of divine power would increase a hundredfold.
However, due to suppression by the Original Universe,
even in the Universe Sea, a Universe Supreme could at most exert strength equivalent to a fifth-stage Universe Master.
The reason Universe Supremes were powerful was that after breaking through, their divine kingdoms transformed into miniature universes.
During this process, the miniature universe underwent cosmic evolution.
Even with poor comprehension, as long as one reached the Universe Supreme realm,
within a period after cosmic evolution, they could basically create seventh-stage secret techniques.
This was why there were no sixth-stage Universe Supremes.
And some Universe Supremes with exceptionally strong comprehension could even create eighth-stage secret techniques as a result.
However, within the Original Universe, they could still only exert peak sixth-stage strength.
…
The Original Universe, somewhere in the void.
Three towering figures suddenly appeared in the emptiness.
One was a seductive woman.
One was a black sphere.
The last was a massive white serpent.
"The human race is indeed treacherous. They actually concealed the true strength of that Annihilation Overlord,"
the white serpent said angrily.
"We don't know when he broke through. If it was after leaving the Extraterritorial Battlefield, then the situation is serious,"
the black sphere also spoke.
"Judging from his previous battle records, his growth speed is extremely fast. It is very possible that he only broke through after leaving the Extraterritorial Battlefield,"
the seductive woman said in an alluring voice.
"Then what do we do now? We can't possibly send a Universe Master to assassinate him, can we?"
