Chapter 1277: Reactions
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Prison race territory, Ancestral Mountain.
Great beings stood in the palace. Some were rock creatures with burning fire, and some were covered with hair while without mouths on their faces. Some were flesh and blood types, some were rock type, and some were metal type. This was, after all, the prison race, which was a very diverse race. However, all of them harbored evil intent—a trait shared by all the creatures from the prison race.
Two universe masters opened their mouths.
“Devil Ancestor!”
“Devil Ancestor, there’s a piece of news.”
An evil being sat in the throne. Under his silver helmet, a pair of red eyes looked down. “Tell me, Canthus Devil Ancestor.”
“Yes. I just got the new. The humans just fought the demon race, and Dream Demon Ancestor and Shock Demon Ancestor led a team of universe masters. The human race is also made of universe masters! The demon race lost six universe masters while the human race didn’t lose anything!”
“What?”
“Humans didn’t lose anything?”
The great beings were all shocked.
Devil Ancestor said slowly, “We can’t look down upon humans, can we? Even with Dream Demon Ancestor and Shock Demon Ancestor, the demon race still lost six universe masters.”
“Devil Ancestor, I have disciples on Bauhinia Island who overheard conversations among humans. They said that Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng killed a universe master with one attack and was able to resist Dream Demon Ancestor and Shock Demon Ancestor.”
Discussions rose up within the palace.
“Luo Feng is really that powerful?”
“He got the inheritance from Duan Dong River, after all.”
The prison race’s Devil Ancestor muttered, “Luo Feng? Perhaps Teacher Origin left some valuables and Luo Feng inherited some from him.”
Suddenly, a powerful force permeated the palace that made everyone silent. Everyone turned around and looked toward the outside, including Devil Ancestor.
Hong!
A powerful force so wicked that it terrified the universe masters turned into a streak of light and arrived at the palace. It was a huge black throne, and at the top of the chair’s back were 18 golden heads of other races. When the black throne landed in the palace, it immediately turned into a great being with black skin wearing simple armor. It extended its arms, legs, and feet. Its head was a skull with a crest on its forehead like a scimitar. Two balls of fire burned in its eyes. It stood at the middle of the palace, and its evil force was even stronger than Devil Ancestor.
“Prison King!” the universe masters yelled with respect.
Devil Ancestor looked down and said, “Prison King.”
“Devil Ancestor,” the evil being said and bowed down a little bit.
Prison King had a special status in the prison race. When the original universe had been first formed, countless life forms had been born in the wicked region known as “Prison.” However, a black throne had been born in Ancestral Mountain, and it emanated endless evil energy.
The creatures of the prison race were weak, so they all thought only a universe supreme master was qualified to sit on the throne. Little did they suspect that the black throne was a living being. And after it became undying, it could change its shape!
What was odd was that the black throne had the natural characteristics of a true treasure, as it could form an illusion and a true treasure domain! It became a universe master in no time, eventually becoming the most powerful creature in the prison race. However, it couldn’t improve itself further.
Great beings from the prison race were born one after another—such as Devil Ancestor, who became the old ancestor of the entire prison race! However, Devil Ancestor still respected Prison King. Prison King had power at the top-tier fifth level. It was invincible, and it had the characteristics of a true treasure. It was so complex that it had become a universe master without any obstacles, yet it couldn’t break through any further.
“Have you also heard the news, Prison King?” asked Devil Ancestor.
“Yes.” Prison King nodded. “This is the greatest chance our race may ever have. Besides, the Duan Dong River inheritance is a powerful inheritance from an ancient civilization, so it definitely has lots of detailed information. I want to learn more about myself from that inheritance so I can discover how I am supposed to move forward.”
“Okay.” Devil Ancestor nodded.
“Just tell me what I need to do,” Prison King said with a bow.
“Okay,” said Devil Master. “You’ll lead a team and go to the human territory. I bet the demon race, the bug race, and the automaton race will form an alliance! It’s hard to say whether the humans can resist them. You shall go and watch the fight, and if the humans can’t resist them, tell me immediately, and I’ll lead a team there.”
“Sure.” Prison King nodded.
It rarely left the prison race’s territory because of its characteristics. Perhaps the three Lands of Extremis could threaten its life, but it was completely safe for him to stay in the original universe.

Inside the godly palace of the crystal race territory…
The palace was round, and there were glistening thrones in the palace. There were 16 thrones in total.
The crystal race’s great beings all sat in the thrones. They all had perfect faces, no matter whether they were male or female! They looked like beings made of the essence of the universe, and they had golden eyes between their eyebrows. All of them were powerful, and they were the most royal beings of the crystal race. There were 15 universe masters and 1 universe supreme master.
“What do you think about these two pieces of news?”
“Holy Master, this is the opportunity our race has been looking for. The humans were able to resist the demon race and took out six universe masters… Clearly, the benefits from the Duan Dong River inheritance were enormous. We need that inheritance!”
“Let’s go!”
“Fight them! After the demon race, automaton race, and bug race annihilate most of the humans’ power, we’ll join.”
“This is our best chance.”
The universe masters of the crystal race were all voicing their opinions. All of them wanted the inheritance.
“Okay. If all of you think this way, we’ll start preparing for our glory and future! We’ll watch the battle between the three races and the human race, and we’ll join at any time suitable!” Holy Master gave the order.
“Yes!”
All the universe masters were excited.
******
All the superpowers in the original universe wanted to fight the humans. For one thing, the humans had acquired the inheritance of Duan Dong River, so if they let them grow, they would be a great threat. For another, all the races wanted to transcend incarnations, so they would force the humans to give out the inheritance. Also, they were afraid that the humans became more powerful, as they had miniature universes as their backup bases. Besides, even if the human race had the power of Purple Moon Holy Land and Eastern Emperor Holy Land, all the powers would attack the human race. Which meant the superpowers didn’t have anything to worry about.
They would just fight the humans!
******
However, there was an argument among the seniors in Nine Territory Alliance.
“This is an opportunity!”
“Our alliance doesn’t have a universe supreme master!” Flame Emperor roared. “If we get the inheritance of Duan Dong River, we’ll have better chance to become universe supreme masters and even transcend incarnations. Are you really willing to just die after three universe eras? The only end will be death if we don’t fight!”
“Flame Emperor!” said Jue Feng Master. “Though you’re my friend, I’m not going to side with you this time. I can’t just watch my race go extinct! I am aware of your grudges against the humans, we all know that. However, it’s no reason to put the entire Nine Territory Alliance at risk… You know the power of the human race. Even with Shock Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor, six universe masters were killed. If we go there, the human race might attack us, and only a few of us will be left alive. We don’t have the power to do that!”
“Why are you such a chicken, Jue Feng Master?” said Flame Emperor angrily. “If you’re such a coward, you won’t be able to accomplish anything. Besides, the humans will be attacked by multiple powers, and they’ll have a hard time dealing with that.”
******
Misty Peak Alliance was also a second-tier alliance. It had 19 universe masters in total, but they had, for the most part, reached a consensus.
“It’s useless to go to the human race when it’s thriving! The human race is going through a hard time now. If we go and offer our help, the human race will be grateful… Even if they don’t give us the core inheritance, once someone from the human race transcends incarnation and creates a third holy land, he’ll give us some space to live.”
“If we follow the other powers to attack humans, we won’t be able to get the inheritance. Even if the humans give out the inheritance, we won’t get it.”
“That’s right.”
“If we follow the other powers, we can’t get the inheritance even if we win. We might just follow humans!”
******
The superpowers in the original universe all wanted to fight the humans for the inheritance, but the inferior powers had second thoughts after the battle between humans and demon race. Some of them wanted to wait and see, and some wanted to join the humans.
