A massive screen suspended in mid-air displayed detailed records of Venerable Tianhua’s movements in recent years, along with his current coordinates.
“Original Star, Sector No. 02933.” Luo Feng allowed a faint smile to touch his lips. “Venerable Tianhua seems to have profited well over these years. Just the known acquisitions include one High-Tier Supreme Treasure, and nearly ten regular Supreme Treasures. Venerable Tianhua, if you’ve already returned these treasures to the Demon Race clan, consider yourself lucky. Otherwise... they might just end up in my hands.”
Although his consciousness was linked to the Virtual Universe, Luo Feng’s Earthling true body departed Purple Thorn Island the moment he received the news, using Divine Kingdom Teleportation to return to his Divine Kingdom.
Because he needed to bring along his Golden Horned Beast avatar as well.
“This time, the destination is an Original Star.”
“On an Original Star, even Universe Masters and Universe Supremes cannot instantly teleport. While I am on an Original Star... even if I am discovered, if the alien races want to kill me, they will have to fly over slowly.” Luo Feng nodded silently. In some other locations, if discovered, enemies might arrive quickly, but the Original Star made it difficult for anyone to reach Luo Feng directly.
“However, this is an Original Star!”
“The experts of billions of races converge there; I cannot afford to be careless.”
“This will be the battle that makes my name.” Luo Feng went all out this time, bringing both the Golden Horned Beast and the Demon Killing Race avatar, and then began his journey towards the Original Star.
Luo Feng first entered Original Star, Sector No. 03921, and flew alone within this Original Star for about half a day, eventually reaching the swirling vortex passage leading to Original Star No. 02933. This was the fastest method Luo Feng had carefully calculated to reach that specific Original Star.
Above the vast ocean of Original Star, Sector No. 02933, a massive swirling vortex passage hung in the air. A burly figure, wreathed in flames, flew out from within it.
He stood about ten meters tall, his entire body pitch black, with fire erupting intermittently from every inch of his divine body.
“I’ve arrived at this Original Star.” Luo Feng looked at his own flame-engulfed form and chuckled. He had traveled using his Demon Killing Race avatar, employing its innate secret technique to directly duplicate one of the Universe Overlords under the command of Hall Master Blood Cloud.
While other Universe Overlords would suffice, figures with one head, two arms, and two legs were rare. Luo Feng still preferred the humanoid form.
Strapped to his back was a battle saber nearly six meters long—the Supreme Treasure Saber, Bo He.
“Whoosh!”
The burly, flame-shrouded figure swiftly cut through the air, crossing the ocean and entering the landmass. He flew over the sprawling swamp for about a day before beginning to approach the coordinates provided by Venerable Niu Zhou.
“Should be close now.” Despite flying for a day, not the slightest ripple stirred in Luo Feng’s heart.
Luo Feng began to slow his speed, carefully observing his surroundings. The coordinates provided by Venerable Niu Zhou were based on the position where the Hong Alliance experts discovered Venerable Tianhua three days ago. Three days had passed, and the situation might have changed.
He proceeded with cautious observation all the way.
Half an hour later.
Luo Feng landed on a small lake within the swamp. His flame-wreathed feet touched the water's surface, causing wisps of mist to rise from the lake with a sizzling sound.
“No one? Not here?” Luo Feng frowned. “I’ve scanned the entire surrounding area, and Venerable Tianhua is nowhere to be found.”
Swish!
Luo Feng shot straight up into the sky, soaring to extreme heights, and then began to fly rapidly, initiating a larger-scale search. After all, only three days had passed since the Hong Alliance experts spotted Venerable Tianhua; the venerable one couldn't have left this Original Star yet—he should be somewhere in the vicinity.
Luo Feng expanded his search area in concentric circles.
After searching for about half an hour, a special aura suddenly permeated the area, spreading out in all directions, startling Luo Feng, who was in the midst of his search. Having traversed Original Stars before, he immediately determined this was the sign of a treasure emerging.
“What a potent aura.”
“Very strong.”
“It must be a Supreme Treasure, likely High-Tier. I came looking for Venerable Tianhua, and now I’ve stumbled upon a treasure emerging!” Luo Feng smiled, then his eyes lit up. “Right—since a treasure is emerging, I’ve discovered it... if Venerable Tianhua is in the vicinity, he must have sensed it too! He will rush over at the fastest speed possible... Hahaha...”
Whoosh!
Luo Feng immediately cut an arc and flew toward the source of the aura at ultra-high speed.
“It’s a Supreme Treasure—probably a High-Tier Supreme Treasure emerging.”
“Quickly.”
“Get over there.”
“Such an intense Supreme Treasure aura; hurry! If we manage to obtain it, it will be a huge gain.”
“Let’s hope we are the first ones there.”
As the aura spread, those closest to the treasure's emergence site detected it first; others further away detected it later. One after another, teams of Venerables from various cosmic factions, solitary Universe Overlords, and top Universe Overlords all rapidly surged toward the source of the aura.
“Haha, I am truly lucky to encounter a High-Tier Supreme Treasure emerging! This aura must belong to a High-Tier Supreme Treasure!” The alien expert, covered in snow-white fur, hunched over, bearing a huge blood-red vertical eye on his face, emitting an endless bloody aura, grinned widely.
He was Venerable Tianhua!
A Heavenly Wolf who had once seized the body of a special lifeform!
“For the clan to exchange for a Supreme Treasure, ‘White Needle’—I offered nearly all my other Supreme Treasures to the clan. What a waste. Now a High-Tier Supreme Treasure is emerging. Hmph, the more powerful the treasure, the slower it emerges. If I rush over, it might not have fully emerged yet. This treasure must be mine.” Venerable Tianhua cackled sharply, simultaneously transforming into a streak of light, speeding toward the source of the aura.
Teams, either solitary or in small groups of three or five, all hastened toward the source of the aura.
“Boom!”
“Boom!” Violent energy fluctuations radiated in all directions.
Luo Feng could already feel the intense energy fluctuations emanating outward before he arrived: “It seems the battle for the Supreme Treasure has already begun.”
At this moment, the consciousness connected to the Endless Nether Sea, because it was constantly linked to the Virtual Universe, received the message just sent by Venerable Niu Zhou: “Blade River, Blade River, a battle is currently underway not far from the coordinates I sent you for Original Star No. 02933, with intense energy fluctuations. Venerable Tianhua is there now and is engaged in combat!”
“He really is there!” Luo Feng showed delight and continued flying toward the aura’s source. In the distance was a vast forest, and the battle was raging within it. Luo Feng immediately saw several teams of alien Venerables hovering in the sky above the forest—more than twenty alien Venerables were gathered in mid-air.
Luo Feng soon flew above the vast forest and looked down.
Below were three figures.
One was covered entirely in snow-white fur, exuding extreme brutality, gripping two divine hammers in his hands, smashing wantonly at the other two alien experts with an invincible posture. The other two alien Venerables... were also tall in stature and were using Supreme Treasures to counterattack.
“Demon Race’s Venerable Tianhua, Nine Domain Alliance’s Lord Zhawai, and Venerable Thousand Shadows.” Luo Feng looked down, nodding silently. “No wonder they aren’t backing down; it turns out they are two Universe Overlords!”
Venerable Tianhua’s strength lay primarily in his life level, reaching approximately 2000 times.
Lord Zhawai and Venerable Thousand Shadows both had life gene levels of 100 times; their combat strength was clearly a level below. However, since they were both large in divine body size, they were merely at a disadvantage. Lord Zhawai followed the warrior path, while Venerable Thousand Shadows followed the spirit-thought master path.
Fighting together, they were fully capable of holding their own.
Their goal wasn't to defeat Venerable Tianhua, but simply to secure the Supreme Treasure the moment it fully emerged. The High-Tier Supreme Treasure had already emerged halfway; it was a blue divine hammer, its handle completely exposed, with the head slowly rising.
“A top Universe Overlord and two Universe Overlords. The Supreme Treasure will certainly be seized by one of these two factions.”
“Such bad luck.”
“If it were just one Universe Overlord, we could try to fight, but three, with one being a top Universe Overlord...”
The other alien Venerables high in the sky shook their heads in resignation. They dared not intervene. Venerable Tianhua’s attacks could be withstood by Lord Zhawai and Venerable Thousand Shadows, but these Universe Venerables would die instantly if they engaged!
Luo Feng hovered high above, watching silently.
“Who is that?”
“Don’t recognize him, but his aura is quite powerful, and he is solitary—likely a Universe Overlord.”
“It seems this Universe Overlord is waiting for an opportunity.”
The alien Venerables whispered among themselves. They knew clearly that, given the current level of combat, they, the Venerables, didn't even have a chance to participate in this treasure contention!
“Lord Zhawai, Venerable Thousand Shadows, you two also want to snatch my treasure?” Venerable Tianhua roared, his blood-red vertical eye looking ferociously insane. “The treasure emerging this time is a Divine Hammer Supreme Treasure. I specialize in using Divine Hammers; it should belong to me. If you push me too far, don't blame me for showing no mercy!”
“What nonsense! Although we are not your match, trying to kill us is a pipe dream.”
“How could we fear you?”
Lord Zhawai and Venerable Thousand Shadows were also frantic. Lord Zhawai repeatedly moved to absorb the impacts, while Venerable Thousand Shadows unleashed his thought-power weapons, transforming into a thousand phantoms, covering the sky, relentlessly entangling Venerable Tianhua. Venerable Tianhua could only use the giant hammers to blast them back again and again. Lord Zhawai and Venerable Thousand Shadows were not rushed; both were waiting for the moment the Supreme Treasure fully emerged to snatch it away immediately.
Time ticked by, second by second.
The three of them fought continuously. The group of alien Venerables in the sky could only watch, daring not to interfere. Luo Feng also watched silently.
“Almost there.”
“The Supreme Treasure is about to emerge.” Lord Zhawai and Venerable Thousand Shadows’ eyes lit up. “Thousand Shadows, this is the last chance; leave the snatching to you.”
“Leave it to me.” Venerable Thousand Shadows’ eyes also held a trace of madness.
When the time comes to fight, one must fight fiercely.
Treasures are won through fighting.
“You two think you can have it? Dream on,” Venerable Tianhua roared, repeatedly moving toward the treasure, unwilling to stray too far from it. But the offensive power of Lord Zhawai and Venerable Thousand Shadows was too strong, forcing both sides back with every exchange. And at this moment, Luo Feng began to slowly descend toward the ground...
“The treasure is emerging!”
“It’s out!”
The group of alien Venerables in the sky instantly stirred.
Whoosh!
Venerable Tianhua, Lord Zhawai, and Venerable Thousand Shadows, all engaged in battle, moved simultaneously, and a figure in mid-air already dove straight down.
