Over the half-sky of another primitive star, a vast, surging golden river floated suspended, within which nine bizarre beasts swam and roared.

“It’s a Domain-type Supreme Treasure!”

“Such immense resistance—I never expected Luo Feng to possess such a supreme treasure. The advantages bestowed upon a super genius of a peak race are truly different; even with such weak strength, he has a Domain-type Supreme Treasure.”

“It seems we won’t be able to kill that human Luo Feng this time. Let’s go.”

“We leave.”

The three Universe Venerables of the Northern Frontier Alliance communicated secretly via divine power transmission, struggling to break through the layers of river water to fly outward, yet their speed was agonizingly slow. This caused the three Venerables to curse inwardly; a mere Immortal-level genius, despite having killed King Howling Mirror, should possess at most the combat strength of an intermediate Universe Venerable, yet he had acquired a Domain-type Supreme Treasure! Coupled with the already confirmed Soul-type Supreme Treasure... this setup was superior to what many Universe Masters possessed.

“If it weren’t for the Domain-type Supreme Treasure, he definitely wouldn’t have escaped.”

“He’s lucky.”

Suddenly, within the vast golden river ahead, a shadowy, flickering black monstrous beast abruptly appeared. The icy killing intent in its pair of dark golden eyes instantly sent a jolt through the Universe Venerable flying at the very front, who urgently transmitted a message: “Be careful!!!”

“Roar nn~”

The black monstrous beast instantly transformed into a streak of golden light, accompanied by a faint, ancient roar, and struck the scaled chest of the foremost Universe Venerable at an unbelievable speed. Boom mn! The top-tier heavy armor worn by that Universe Venerable instantly shattered, his divine body annihilated, yet the black beast’s momentum did not lessen... it accelerated again and slammed into the second Universe Venerable.

It was like a road roller crushing a wolf. A wolf, though savage, once crushed by a road roller... is inevitably turned to pulp.

“It’s a trap, a trap.” The sole surviving third Universe Venerable stared wide-eyed with his three emerald-green eyes, his purple lips emitting a roar of terrified fury through divine power: “Human Luo Feng is bait, he is bait!!!”

Whoosh!

A cold, golden blade light slashed down from behind. The third Universe Venerable was desperately trying to ward off the black monstrous beast when he suddenly felt his divine body violently shudder, and then he knew nothing more.

“Only now do you realize it’s a trap...” Too late,” Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and silver wings, strode forward. He glanced at the fragments of heavy treasures, weapons, and World Rings floating around, waved his hand, and collected everything. He then sheathed his Blade of Heaven Slaying, and the Gold Horned Beast instantly vanished into his World Ring.

“This is what happens when information flows slowly.”

“The various forces across the universe do not have the Virtual Universe, making real-time communication of news impossible,” Luo Feng murmured softly. “Especially factions with massive numbers of races like the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Nine Domain Alliance—particularly the Northern Frontier Alliance... they really have too many races; nearly a third of the alien Venerables I’ve killed belong to them.”

Roaming the Primitive Star, one truly felt the sheer numbers of the Northern Frontier Alliance. Back in the open square on Purple Thorn Island, the number of Inheritors of the Beast God in the Hong Alliance was generally only a little over a thousand, but the Northern Frontier Alliance had hundreds of thousands! This ratio hinted at the proportion of powerful beings.

“Some Universe Venerables already know they need to retreat upon encountering me.”

“But there are still some Universe Venerables who haven’t gotten the news yet.”

With a thought from Luo Feng, the boundless golden waves vanished, transforming into a silver stream of light flying into the distance. In the mid-air where the battle had taken place, no trace remained; Luo Feng had completely swept away even the smallest fragment of a supreme treasure.

In the inner city of the Hong Alliance in the Virtual Universe, at the open-air bar. Connected to the Virtual Universe via the boundless Dark Sea consciousness, Luo Feng would visit about once every ten to fifteen days. He was constantly awaiting news from Venerable Heavenly Filament. However, 100,081 Primitive Stars were vast, and Venerable Heavenly Filament, being a Universe Master who operated alone, might remain hidden in some location for centuries or millennia once he concealed himself. Locating him indeed required time and luck.

“Luo Feng.”

“Daohe.”

Walking through the open-air bar, many Universe Venerables greeted him enthusiastically. Even the very few Universe Masters who occasionally appeared treated Luo Feng with courtesy. After all, Luo Feng’s achievements on the Primitive Star over the past year were staggering. While other factions were slow to transmit news, the Hong Alliance powerhouses had spread the word quickly. In the past year, the number of alien Venerables and Universe Masters who had fallen because of Luo Feng was not small. Although they all attributed the kills to some top-tier Universe Master hiding within Luo Feng’s World Ring, the very fact that such a top-tier Universe Master was willing to reside in Luo Feng’s World Ring also proved Luo Feng’s status! Every powerhouse was eager to befriend such a top-tier Universe Master. Even Universe Masters placed great importance on top-tier Universe Masters. Because the combat power of a top-tier Universe Master was very close to that of a Universe Master, and they could resurrect upon death, whereas a Universe Master, once dead, could never return! This conferred a very special status upon top-tier Universe Masters...

“Luo Feng.” A familiar voice called out.

Luo Feng turned his head and saw two powerhouses seated at a corner in the distance. Furthermore, no other powerhouses were near that corner.

“Venerable Guiyi, Venerable Undying?” Luo Feng was secretly startled. He now understood why no other powerhouses approached; both held extraordinary status. Venerable Guiyi was a disciple highly valued by City Lord Chaos, and Venerable Undying was a disciple of the Creator Giant Axe—neither was ordinary. Luo Feng immediately smiled and walked over. Venerable Guiyi was as usual, clad in a flame-red battle robe, barefoot, and bald. Seeing him naturally instilled a sense of peace in the heart. However, Luo Feng, having cultivated for 180 million years, possessed a will a notch stronger than before, reaching the threshold standard for a Universe Master, and was entirely unaffected. Luo Feng had met Venerable Undying once before, via a Virtual Universe communication. Like last time, Venerable Undying wore strange battle armor draped with tens of thousands of vines, his face partially obscured by the tendrils, leaving only his pair of dark green eyes carrying their usual malevolent look. Back when Luo Feng and King Zhenyan were weaker, they had suffered under him once. To the Luo Feng and King Zhenyan of the past, Venerable Undying and Venerable Guiyi were both Universe Masters—beings utterly beyond reach. But now, Luo Feng clearly understood their capabilities. Venerable Guiyi possessed the standard strength of a normal Universe Master, but his supreme treasures were better, and he was adept at both illusion techniques and close combat. Venerable Undying was extremely famous. His true combat ability was only at the level of a normal Universe Master, but his ability to survive was bizarrely potent; no one had managed to kill him to this day, earning him the universally acknowledged title of "Undying."

“Senior Brother,” Luo Feng approached and smiled. “Venerable Undying.” “Sit,” Venerable Guiyi smiled. “Growing quickly, aren’t you? You were quite weak back then, far from even reaching the Immortal realm. My mere glance could affect you. But even then, you managed to ultimately shake off the influence of my gaze. You truly are extraordinary. I hear dozens of Universe Venerables have fallen because of you. Haha, impressive, impressive.” Venerable Undying’s voice was strangely sharp, but Luo Feng, having communicated with him before, knew this was simply his natural tone. “Luo Feng, Venerable Undying and I are both curious: how many alien Venerables and Masters have fallen because of that top-tier Universe Master friend of yours?” Venerable Guiyi asked with a smile. “Not too many,” Luo Feng smiled. “In total, twenty-three Universe Venerables and five Universe Masters.” “Five Universe Masters?” Both Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Undying showed a hint of shock. They themselves were around that level. Of course, they both possessed immense backing and superior supreme treasures, granting them far greater survivability. But even so, they found this incredible. “It was mainly at the beginning when those alien Venerables who became greedy upon seeing me tried to encircle and kill me, only to be killed instead. Especially in the first half-month, quite a few aliens fell. But as the news spread, more and more aliens learned of these incidents. Upon seeing me, they avoided me from afar. I only manage to run into an ill-informed alien every so often; it’s been three months since I last found an unlucky fellow,” Luo Feng explained. The situation was exactly as described. News spread faster and wider; the successive falls of several renowned Universe Venerables had completely forged Luo Feng’s fearsome reputation! Even alien Universe Masters gave Luo Feng a wide berth, daring not to approach. “Who exactly is your friend?” Venerable Guiyi couldn't help but ask. “Can you tell us?” “His name is Luo Feng,” Luo Feng smiled sweetly. “Stop joking,” Venerable Guiyi chuckled. “If you can’t say, then don’t.” Luo Feng secretly thought: truly, no one believed him. Until now, not a single powerhouse believed he was responsible! It was understandable; in the eyes of these powerhouses... even if he advanced to Universe Venerable, his comprehension of Laws could not be rushed; it usually took billions of years to advance from the fourth to the seventh layer of the Beast God Path. In just under twenty thousand years, in their view, his level in secret techniques must be very low, and though his divine body might be stronger... it was far inferior to god-defying Universe Masters like World Tree, Venerable Purple Rain, or Palace Master Heavenly Scourge. “If you insist on knowing a name... Venerable Golden Peak,” Luo Feng stated. “Venerable Golden Peak?” Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Undying exchanged glances, both feeling puzzled. Who was that? They had never heard of him. “Are you messing with us?” Venerable Undying’s dark green eyes held a hint of suspicion. “Not lying to you. You will know in the future,” Luo Feng smiled. “Is he an alien?” Venerable Guiyi asked, confused. “You could say he’s an alien,” Luo Feng nodded. Just then, Luo Feng’s peripheral vision caught sight of a figure approaching him rapidly in the distance. A closer look revealed it was Venerable Niuzhou. When Venerable Niuzhou saw Luo Feng looking over, he quickly signaled him with his eyes. “Senior Brother, Venerable Undying, I need to go see a friend,” Luo Feng stood up and smiled, then walked towards Venerable Niuzhou. Venerable Niuzhou swiftly met him, and upon their meeting, lowered his voice to shield their conversation: “Daohe, Heavenly Filament has been located.” Venerable Heavenly Filament? Like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, Luo Feng felt a jolt, and his eyes instantly brightened.
