Waves crashed, and above the endless dark sea, a temple shrouded in dim light hovered. Luo Feng stood on the plaza before the temple, beside him coiled the majestic Golden Horned Beast.
In Luo Feng’s hand appeared an ancient, nine-story pagoda, which flew directly toward the Golden Horned Beast.
“From today onward, the Golden Horned Beast will use the Star Tower!”
“The main body of the Earth Clone will use the Wu-Slaying Wings, the Tribulation Armor, and the Remnant Elephant.” Luo Feng nodded slightly. This arrangement was indeed the best, because the Golden Horned Beast also held another identity: ‘Master of the Blood Cloud Palace,’ so it possessed the Blood Cloud Pearl, and the Blood Cloud Pearl itself had the ability to conceal.
It could alter one's life aura, change the appearance of supreme treasures, and though its level was hard to judge, it cost Seat Mountain Guest an immense price to forge.
In normal combat, the Star Tower could be shrunk down like a spike, but if it were enlarged, any observant person could certainly detect something amiss. However, with the ‘Blood Cloud Pearl,’ the appearance of the Star Tower could be completely altered. The Blood Cloud Pearl inherently possessed the ability of camouflage and external transformation; this way, no one could recognize it.
“Even my teacher, the City Lord of Chaos, said that burying oneself in cultivation won't make one a Universe Master; he urged me to temper myself in battle. It’s the same as what Teacher Seat Mountain Guest said.” Luo Feng nodded secretly.
That day, on Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe, under a pavilion outside Luo Feng’s palace, some of the Luo Family’s attendants prepared an exquisite banquet.
Luo Feng sat facing Venerable Niu Zhou.
The stout man with horns on his head, Venerable Niu Zhou, appeared somewhat constrained. He hurried to say, “Dao River, you don’t need to prepare fine wine or anything just because you summoned me. If you have a matter, just say it. I will certainly do my utmost!” Venerable Niu Zhou was no fool. Just imagine, the Luo Feng before him was now comparable to Palace Master Tian Shi, Venerable Ancestor Tree, and Star Prison Demon Master. Which Universe Venerable in the race wouldn't want to ally with him?
“There is indeed something I need to trouble you with,” Luo Feng replied with a slight smile.
“Just say it,” Venerable Niu Zhou urged, “though my abilities are limited, I worry I might not do well.”
“It’s very simple,” Luo Feng said. “Help me find the location coordinates of the Demon Race’s ‘Venerable Tian Hua.’” Places like the open-air bar gathered a large number of Universe Venerables, but figures as high-ranking as Palace Master Tian Shi or Star Prison Demon Master rarely showed themselves. Luo Feng couldn’t just hang around there every day, nor did he have the time.
“Track his whereabouts?” Venerable Niu Zhou’s eyes lit up. “Leave this matter entirely to me! I dare not boast about other things; in combat among Universe Venerables, I’m merely average, but when it comes to searching for information, haha…”
Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
When powerful figures like those at the open-air bar conversed, the most crucial messages were shielded via private transmission, so even loitering there made it hard to gather much intelligence.
This is where ‘connections’ came into play. Venerable Niu Zhou was practically an information broker, extremely adept at gathering news, naturally possessing extensive contacts and many friends, allowing him to amass a vast amount of information.
“Venerable Tian Hua should be on the Primal Chaos Planet,” Venerable Niu Zhou chuckled. “In fact, most of the Demon Race’s top Universe Overlords are currently adventuring on the Primal Chaos Planets. The information I obtained suggests that Venerable Tian Hua appeared on Primal Chaos Planet Number 02002 over a thousand years ago. But Dao River, you also know that top Universe Overlords at this level usually act alone; he left in the blink of an eye. Since I didn’t specifically keep tracking his movements afterward, I’m unsure, but he’s likely still on the Primal Chaos Planet.”
Luo Feng nodded in satisfaction. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
“A small matter, a small matter. If you ever need information sourced, Dao River, just come to me.” Venerable Niu Zhou thumped his chest loudly. He knew very well that the more he could do for Luo Feng, the stronger his backing became! It was common knowledge among the Universe Venerables that the Lord of Ganwu, by virtue of being the teacher of Luo Feng’s son… had even repaid debts owed to other Universe Venerables. This status and position were clearly different, and he was regarded with greater importance by other Venerables.
“There’s no time to lose. Dao River, I’ll go look for information right now,” Venerable Niu Zhou said cheerfully.
Luo Feng nodded.
Venerable Niu Zhou instantly vanished into thin air, immediately beginning his task.
Luo Feng was also aware that tracking down a super expert was a difficult endeavor. If someone deliberately hid, like Luo Feng himself had done, even the combined efforts of the Demon Race, Machine Race, and Bug Race would struggle to find him. However, Venerable Tian Hua wasn't intentionally hiding, and he was adventuring on the Primal Chaos Planet…
He estimated that it would only take some time to locate him.
“In the meantime, I will continue cultivating on Purple Thorn Island,” Luo Feng said, confident and calm. That day, the Earth Clone used Divine Kingdom Teleportation to arrive at Purple Thorn Island. On Purple Thorn Island, he first buried himself in quiet seclusion. After more than two months had passed, he ventured out for the first time towards the place of inheritance. On Purple Thorn Island, palaces stood one after another.
“Look.”
“It’s Luo Feng.”
“Luo Feng is going to the place of inheritance again.”
Successors from various factions, tasked with monitoring Luo Feng, immediately recorded everything, and the news was quickly relayed back to their respective races.
In a vast expanse of the universe, as three streams of will crossed infinite spacetime and descended, the surrounding cosmic space completely warped, as if existing in another dimension.
A gigantic black elliptical sphere phantom… a stunningly graceful, slender figure… a colossal silver-white snake head surrounded by countless serpent shadows…
“Machine, what happened? How is Luo Feng still alive?” the vaguely slender figure reprimanded angrily.
“Didn’t you say the Void True Demon God was taking action personally?” the silver-white snake head also roared in fury.
Back when the Void True Demon God broke into the sacred grounds of the Ancestral God Sect intending to kill Luo Feng, he failed. The Void True Demon God did not spare the Machine Race’s Father God. As the strongest being in the universe, the Machine Race Father God naturally had patience; he didn't rush to demand answers. Instead, he first meticulously investigated intelligence on the Human Race. Over these past two months…
Luo Feng had appeared in Chaos City, but he went straight to the City Lord’s Mansion, known only to a few.
Although the Machine Race had informants in Chaos City, they were few, and they failed to discover Luo Feng entering and then leaving the City Lord's Mansion.
It wasn’t until this time… when Luo Feng appeared on Purple Thorn Island, that the Machine Race, Bug Race, and Demon Race truly learned that Luo Feng was still alive!
“Since I invited the Void True Demon God to act, you know his temperament. Rushing to press him will only displease that stubborn one,” the elliptical black sphere phantom said. “Now that I know Luo Feng is alive, I went to ask him. I just spoke with him moments ago.”
“What exactly happened?” the silver-white snake head pressed.
The slender figure also stared intently at the elliptical black sphere.
The four peak races were locked in continuous struggle. This temporary alliance was formed only because of their common target: ‘Human Luo Feng.’ In truth, their relationships were inherently poor.
“The Void True Demon God said that he suddenly descended upon Purple Thorn Island and immediately unleashed a killing move, but unexpectedly, the Ancestral God Sect’s Two-Faced Ancestral God had been living secretly near Luo Feng, protecting him. As soon as he made his move… the Ancestral God of the Ancestral God Sect intervened. Despite every effort, they still failed to kill Luo Feng,” the black sphere phantom explained.
“The Ancestral God?”
“The Two-Faced Ancestral God?”
Both the silver-white snake head and the slender figure were shocked.
“The Ancestral God lowered his status to guard him secretly?” The slender figure’s voice was incomparably moving. “How is that possible?”
“That is the fact,” the black sphere stated slowly.
“The Void True Demon God failed once, let him act again,” the silver-white snake head insisted. “Since he accepted this matter and received our benefits, he must execute it flawlessly. Furthermore, what status does an Ancestral God hold? An Ancestral God, high above, protecting Luo Feng once is one thing, but can he guard him forever? Letting the Void True Demon God act again will surely succeed.”
“Meng Cha!”
The elliptical black sphere phantom roared, “The combined value of our three parties is only equivalent to one peak supreme treasure weapon! What status does the Void True Demon God hold? In the Sea of Universe, he is one of the most troublesome existences. Getting him to act once is already quite good. You want him to act a second time? The Ancestral God obstructed him; the first time can be excused, but a second attempt would clearly be provoking the Ancestral God, wouldn’t it? Do you think the value of one peak supreme treasure is enough to make the Void True Demon God completely oppose the Ancestral God Sect?”
“But he failed,” the silver-white snake head retorted.
“The Void True Demon God said… he already exerted his full strength, and even using his full power caused him to be suppressed by the universe. He did enough, enough to equal the value of one peak supreme treasure,” the black sphere phantom stated.
The slender figure and the silver-white snake head fell silent for a moment.
The Void True Demon God’s status was indeed extraordinary. As a lone operator, major powers were reluctant to easily provoke him, and he possessed a supreme ultimate treasure for protection! He was arrogant and domineering—much like the smiling yet infinitely sinister Seat Mountain Guest—making the major powers grit their teeth in secret but forcing them to swallow their frustration.
“Then what do we do?”
“Luo Feng has reappeared on Purple Thorn Island. If we invite another universe’s strongest being, and the Ancestral God is still secretly protecting him, won’t we just waste another supreme treasure?” Both the slender figure and the silver-white snake head carried responsibilities for their races and were naturally unwilling to casually waste supreme treasures.
The elliptical black sphere phantom said, “Let’s wait first. The Ancestral God might still be protecting him secretly now, but the longer time passes, the less likely the Ancestral God can maintain secret guardianship indefinitely. We will invite a universe’s strongest being then!”
“We can only wait for now.”
“Who should we invite next time?”
“In my opinion, let’s invite Seat Mountain Rong. Seat Mountain Guest is incredibly cunning and has many tricks up his sleeve. Moreover, he is very proficient in soul attacks. If he acts, I believe he has a better chance of success than the Void True Demon God.”
“Inviting Seat Mountain Guest, the conditions he proposes will likely be very steep.”
“How will we know if we don’t try?”
“Wait a while first. After some time has passed, Empress, you should contact Seat Mountain Guest; you have the best relationship with him.”
Soon, the three beings reached an agreement, and the three streams of will instantly departed.
This stretch of the starry sky returned to its normal calm.
Purple Thorn Island.
More than a year had passed since the Void True Demon God came to kill him. Luo Feng had finally managed to fully comprehend the fifth level of the ‘Beast God Path’ and had begun studying the sixth level. This research immediately made Luo Feng feel that it was vast and profound, incredibly difficult and complex; indeed, the further one progressed, the more exaggerated the difficulty became.
However, having mastered the fifth level provided a more solid foundation, deepening Luo Feng’s mastery of the secret pattern flow technique, making the creation of secret techniques much easier than before.
He easily created another secret technique at the peak Universe Master level, which Luo Feng named the Golden River.
“Dao River, Dao River, I have found the location of Venerable Tian Hua,” an email interrupted Luo Feng’s cultivation days on Purple Thorn Island.
