Ce Tian Knight and Feather Dark Knight looked at one another and communicated their thoughts through their gazes. They were a little fearful of this Golden Horned Beast, but it was only a feeling. After all, they were far away, so Golden Horned Beast's Nine Tiger River would not be able to exert its power over them. Without the oppression of Nine Tiger River, they would be able to accelerate easily to a speed 100 times of the speed of light of the Universe. Then Golden Horned Beast would never be able to give chase. But who would be willing to live like a homeless dog always on the run?
”We had no intentions of becoming your enemy, but Demon Sword Knight was so bent on killing you that we could only act according to his wishes,” Ce Tian Knight said in his elderly voice.
Golden Horned Beast looked at the two faraway figures, and with much vigor, he inquired, ”Would you be able to tell me how you got here? This Land of Extremis. How well do you know it?”
Feather Dark Horde Leader's spine-chilling voice said, ”Since time immemorial, many great beings have fallen into this Land of Extremis. The majority were on adventures in secret regions but were accidentally transported here. There is a long list of ways how one can be transported here. There are also great beings who were drifting through the universe when they were suddenly swallowed by the seemingly normal starry sky, only to arrive here at the Land of Extremis.”
”There is no regular pattern,” Ce Tian Knight continued in his elderly voice.
Golden Horned Beast remained silent. After a moment of silence, he asked, ”Has anyone made it out before?”
”Feather Dark Horde Leader, Demon Sword Knight, and I do not have other bodies,” Ce Tian Knight. ”Once we entered Land of Extremis, if we were to self-destruct, our bodies would be disintegrated to naught. That is why we do not know anything about the outside world… We knew that Cang Hua Knight, with his ability to divide his body, had one of his bodies in the outside world and the other in the Land of Extremis. That was when his body in the outside world realized that there were great beings in the Land of Extremis who also had bodies in the outside world.”
”Cang Hua Knight?” Golden Horned Beast said. ”Where is he?”
”He made a final decision to abandon his godly body, along with a true treasure he had brought here,” explained Ce Tian Knight. ”He self-destructed.”
”Are there others being trapped in the Land of Extremis?” Golden Horned Beast asked.
”Yes,” said Ce Tian Knight,
”There are quite a few,” Feather Dark Horde Leader said.
”Where?” Golden Horned Beast asked, watching the pair in the distance.
”They are somewhere in this vast, starry sky, but you want to know where, exactly?” Feather Dark Horde Leader said. ”Great beings often drift about and change their locations. We are unable to tell for sure.”
”How big is the Land of Extremis?” Golden Horned Beast asked. This was the question he was most concerned about.
”Land of Extremis has a diameter of close to 100,000 light years,” said Feather Dark Horde Leader. ”It resembles an ordinary star sky.” He sighed and continued. ”Yet everyone is restricted to flying within this domain of 100,000 light years. Even if one does manage to venture outside of this domain, the result is always to unknowingly be returned to the same place. It is like a maze. We are trapped in here eternally.”
Luo Feng was appalled. A diameter of 100,000 light years? A maze? If it was like a maze, then the great beings must still be exploring. Obviously, they had been flying around for a long time.
”This is like a gigantic prison cell,” said Feather Dark Horde Leader. ”We great beings are the prisoners, imprisoned here for life. There is no escape.” Feather Dark Horde Leader looked at Golden Horned Beast. ”You are a Golden Horned Beast. You must have the ability to divide your body… If you abandon your true treasure, you can self-destruct and leave.”
Ce Tian Knight added in his elderly voice, ”Golden Horned Beast, I advise you to self-destruct. After all, you have another body; if you are trapped in here for all time, you will experience the pain of imprisonment for life. As for your true treasure, so long as you are alive, you will be able to escape from danger alive.”
Roar!
Golden Horned Beast let out a roar that resonated through the entire sky. ”Ce Tian Knight, Feather Dark Horde Leader, self-destruction is never an easy choice to make. I will take my leave first.”
Hua!
Golden Horned Beast and his sea of rolling golden waves vanished. A black figure transformed into a ray of light and disappeared quickly into space. He became a ray of light that shot off into the distance and out of sight.
”Demon Sword Knight has fallen,” Ce Tian Knight sighed.
”Who can he blame but himself?” Feather Dark Horde Leader sneered. ”He often abused his power and made us his victims. Humph! For him to succumb to Golden Horned Beast, it is just his luck.”

In the starry sky, Mosha body sat cross-legged on a meteorite. He transformed into a beam of light and rode off to roam the starry sky.
”To be able to kill a universe overload…” Luo Feng mused. ”Luckily, this is Land of Extremis, where there is no way to contact the outside world and no way to call for help. Otherwise, how would a universe overlord perish so easily?”
Universe overlords were difficult to kill. When an unfavorable circumstance occurred, the first thing one should do would be to escape. Should one not manage to escape, then stalling for time to devise a plan—and immediately calling for help—would be the next step!
If Demon Sword Knight had been fighting against Luo Feng on the original star, the direst situation would be to sustain injuries, and he could count on the other great beings of the Nine Territory Alliance to come to his rescue immediately. But here in the Land of Extremis, there was simply no way to call for help. That was why Demon Sword Knight had to lose his life.
”Among the many universe overlords within my human race, there are some who have yet to kill universe overlords. Yet I have killed one now. Haha…!”
Luo Feng shook his head and laughed. Upon killing Demon Sword Knight, Golden Horned Beast's godly body had merely fallen below 42 percent to 41.9 percent.
Hua!
Sitting cross-legged on the meteorite, he continued speeding through the star sky.

In the twinkling of an eye, two months passed. In Luo Feng's God Country, in front of a golden palace in the vast sky above the Remote Ocean, Luo Feng stood up.
