Deep within the Demon Clan Territory, an endless starry sky held a floating palace, surrounded by various colored flames the size of stars.
The palace was shaped like solidified flames, and the surrounding space-time was distorted, forming its own spatial dimension, making it impossible to see from a distance.
Whoosh!
On the vast square in front of the palace, a hazy light and shadow appeared out of thin air, then condensed into an Azure Skywolf about ten kilometers long.
"Leader."
The Azure Skywolf prostrated respectfully, emitting a powerful Divine Power pressure, far exceeding that of an Immortal, clearly indicating he was a Universe Venerable.
"What is it?"
From within the solidified flame palace, the eye-like sculpture suddenly blinked, and the entire palace rumbled.
"Leader, I just received news from my Disciple, 'Si Bo Wa.' I took him in when I first became a Universe Venerable, and I had high hopes for him to become a Universe Venerable in the future."
The Azure Skywolf respectfully said, "But not long after he became my Disciple, he disappeared."
"I know him," the rumbling voice said. "Long, long ago, he was on the list of those to be resurrected by reversing time and space. I tried to reverse time and space to revive him, but I failed."
"At that time, I thought he was Soul-controlled by another powerful individual, but it turns out he's still alive."
Si Bo Wa was not Heaven-Defying back then, but he was a new Genius within the Skywolf Race, and his strength was such that he was qualified for the race to try to resurrect him by reversing time and space. When the resurrection failed, he was naturally forgotten.
"I've received news of him," the Azure Skywolf respectfully said. "He is currently in the Ice Prison within the Wu Hua Secret Realm. For endless years, he has been trapped in Ice Prison."
"The Ice Prison of Purple Dou Kou and Blue Dou Kou?" the rumbling voice asked.
"Yes, Leader."
The Azure Skywolf continued, "He was imprisoned in Ice Prison, with no resources and no guidance from powerful individuals, yet he has now Cultivated to the Pinnacle Undefeated level."
"Pinnacle Undefeated?" The rumbling voice showed a hint of surprise.
"He wouldn't dare to lie," the Azure Skywolf said. "Leader, I want to rescue my Disciple, but facing that Venerable Blue Dou Kou and Venerable Purple Dou Kou, especially Venerable Purple Dou Kou, who is one of the Ancestral God Sect's Twelve Divine Generals..."
"I have no confidence whatsoever in bringing my Disciple back, so I would like to ask 'Venerable Sky Flower' for help. However, I'm worried Venerable Sky Flower won't give me Face, so I would like to ask you, Leader, to speak on my behalf."
Venerable Sky Flower, the second-ranked existence within the Demon race's Skywolf Race, was extremely powerful. He had undergone Possession of a special life form, thus possessing Top-tier Universe Overlord strength, comparable to the most ordinary Universe Master.
The first-ranked in the Skywolf Race was none other than the owner of this palace, the Skywolf Master!
"If Venerable Sky Flower steps forward, coupled with the deterrence of our Demon race, that Venerable Blue Dou Kou and Venerable Purple Dou Kou will certainly not dare to refuse to give Face," the Azure Skywolf said.
"Sky Flower is currently in a dangerous place; I cannot contact him either."
The rumbling sound came from the palace, "Since he is an Invincible Immortal King of my Skywolf Race, then I will go personally."
"Leader, you will go personally?" The Azure Skywolf immediately prostrated himself in gratitude, saying, "Si Bo Wa will surely be excited, grateful, and incredibly honored when he knows."
"By the way, how did your Disciple contact you?" a voice from the palace inquired.
"He sent a message through the Virtual Universe," the Azure Skywolf respectfully replied.
"Virtual Universe..."
The voice from the palace paused for a moment, "So, that means there's a human King-level Immortal imprisoned in Ice Prison."
"It must be," the Azure Skywolf respectfully responded.
"How about this, you come with me."
The voice from the palace continued, "First, you go and meet that Purple Dou Kou. If he insists on not releasing him, then I will personally step forward."
The Azure Skywolf was puzzled upon hearing this, not understanding why such an extra step was necessary, but he still respectfully replied, "Yes."
"Let's go."
Suddenly!
Suspended around the palace, those star-sized flames rapidly flew towards the palace. As each flame flew, it rapidly shrunk, becoming like tiny flames, merging into the solidified flame carvings of the palace.
After the flames merged, the entire palace's aura grew even stronger. Then, the Azure Skywolf felt his Divine Body become uncontrollable and was directly sucked into the palace. The next moment, the palace vanished into thin air.
...
Wu Hua Secret Realm, Bingyu Star Belt.
An Azure Skywolf over ten kilometers tall appeared out of thin air, and a powerful Divine Power pressure immediately permeated the area, constantly spreading outwards.
Soon.
The Divine Power pressure covered the largest Ice Prison Star, terrifying the frolicking World Master Dou Kou's on the planet into trembling.
Whoosh!
Two figures, one purple and one green, radiating even stronger Divine Power pressure, appeared. They were precisely Venerable Purple Dou Kou and Venerable Blue Dou Kou.
"Venerable Cyan Lake, what is the purpose of your arrival at my Ice Prison Star?"
Venerable Purple Dou Kou sensed the Divine Power aura of the Azure Skywolf and immediately recognized the identity of the newcomer.
"Venerable Purple Dou Kou, Venerable Blue Dou Kou."
The Azure Skywolf Venerable Cyan Lake said in a deep voice, "My Disciple is imprisoned in Ice Prison; I ask that the two of you release him."
"Venerable Cyan Lake, you should know that our Ice Prison is a one-way entrance."
Venerable Blue Dou Kou coldly replied, "It's impossible for us to release your Disciple!"
"This is the will of the Demon race's Skywolf Master."
Venerable Cyan Lake's expression darkened, "What, do you intend to defy the will of the Skywolf Master?"
"Venerable Cyan Lake, even if the Skywolf Master himself were to come, or if Venerable Sky Flower came to demand him, we would release your Disciple."
Venerable Purple Dou Kou said indifferently, "But today... it is you who has come."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Cyan Lake's expression turned grim. Although he had already guessed this outcome, he still felt displeased.
He couldn't understand why the Leader had come personally, yet still made him go first.
...
Far away.
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Branch, originally guarding the Creation Secret Realm, with its Divine Body shrunk, was located in a distorted space-time, observing the activity on Ice Prison Star from afar.
"The Skywolf Master didn't come?"
The leaves of the Gu Yu Ancient Tree swayed slightly, "Just a mid-level Venerable, and he expects Purple Dou Kou to release someone? That's far too naive."
Venerable Purple Dou Kou was one of the Ancestral God Sect's Seventy-Two Divine Generals, possessing the strength of a Top-tier Universe Overlord, and had some past grievances with the Skywolf Master.
For such a Top-tier Universe Overlord, without comparable strength, it was almost impossible to make him release someone.
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone stood majestically, thinking, "No rush. If the Skywolf Master doesn't come, there's no need for me to step forward."
Luo Feng's journey to Ice Prison this time was arranged by Sitting Mountain Guest.
Even if the Skywolf Master were to arrive and exert pressure, without Sitting Mountain Guest's secret authorization, Venerable Purple Dou Kou would not dare to release Luo Feng.
Because offending the Skywolf Master, Venerable Purple Dou Kou could still survive, but if he offended Sitting Mountain Guest, even the Ancestral God Sect couldn't protect him!
...
Above Ice Prison Star.
Venerable Cyan Lake's expression was grim.
The Venerable Purple Dou Kou and Venerable Blue Dou Kou opposite him had an indifferent expression and a cold smile, respectively.
Boom!
Just then, a majestic palace, faintly shrouded in flames, appeared out of thin air...
